A Comments and Opinions from Reader’s Letters Flood Of Tears ‘Yellow Dog’s Travels’ (My Story, Feb/Mar) made me back to 2010 when our family dog, Folly, disappeared during a flood. Folly was very close to my grandmother and losing Folly made her feel lost. A year went by. One day, my father and I were driving through the countryside when, like a bolt out of the blue, we saw a brown dog that looked like Folly. We rushed to pick up Grandma and drove back excitedly. Their reunion made us all cry. They were never separated after that. Medical miracle I was profoundly inspired by the article ‘Lives In The Balance’ (Bonus Read, Feb/Mar). On my first reading, I was impressed by the determination and devotion of neurosurgeon Dr Christopher Honey. After I reread it, the thought that came to me was, this goes beyond medicine. It is about the miracle of medicine. Dynamic Metropolis I loved reading the travel story ‘Heart & Seoul’ (Feb/Mar). The article brilliantly captured Seoul’s lively combination of tradition and modernity, offering readers a vivid glimpse into its rich cultures, from ancient palace’s to dynamic street markets. It is a fascinating guide for anyone considering a visit to Seoul. Flown The chop Like the story ‘Empty Nest Syndrome’ (Feb/Mar), my youngest moved out recently. When he left, I sat on his bed and cried. My youngest had been at home for 26 years and suddenly his bedroom was empty. We had spent a lot of time together — I home-schooled him for four years. I was lost when he left, but after struggling for a while I managed to find myself again. At meal times he would recount his day. Now, walking around the supermarket I see the things I used to buy for him and it’s hard. The house feels empty, too big. We started out as two and grew to five. Now we are learning to find our way back to the days before children. 1. What brought the reader of ‘Yellow Dog’s Travels’ to tears? A. Reading a similar story. B. The disappearance of Folly. C.

B Pollution has always been an issue around the world, among which ocean pollution stands out, especially plastic pollution. Trash can be seen almost everywhere on the beach and in the ocean and the amount grows rapidly, even out of control. Luckily, 4 ocean, an ocean clean-up company, has completed a record-setting feat (伟业) for collecting 30 million pounds of trash. Operating in 12 locations across three countries worldwide, including the USA, Guatemala, and Indonesia, 4 ocean has become one of the leading ocean clean-up companies devoted to ending the ocean plastic crisis. “We’ve built an entire business for the purpose of cleaning the ocean. With hundreds of local captains and crew members collecting trash from our oceans and coast lines seven days a week and the support of millions of people doing their part to prevent plastic pollution, I’m sure our work will have a lasting impact on the ocean,” said Alex Schulze, 4 ocean CEO and co-founder. The world has produced an estimated 18.3 trillion pounds of plastic since the 1950s; less than 10% of it has been recycled while 79% is left in the environment Global plastic production is expected to triple by 2050, according to the World Economic Forum, which means an increase in the amount of plastic waste polluting the environment. But plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental problem; it also threatens the global economy and global food security. Ocean-based industries like fishing and tourism employ billions of people; the blue economy also contributes several trillion dollars of goods and services to the global economy every year. More than 3 billion get their primary source of protein from seafood. “That’s why it’s important to us that our operations have a direct impact on the people and places most impacted by plastic pollution,” said Schulze. He adds, “All of our captains and crews live in the communities we serve and are hired as full-time employees. All of our bracelets (手镯) are hand crafted by artisans living in either Guatemala or Bali. Every bracelet bought funds our clean ups and created jobs that provide the steady income people in these communities need right now.” 4. What is the intention of 4 ocean? A. To increase the employment rate. B. To address the ocean plastic issue. C. To complete a record-setting feat. D. To set up a transnational company. 5. What contributes to 4 ocean’s success? A. Effective team efforts. B. The CEO’s ambition. C. Government support. D. Multiple operating sited. 6. Why does the writer mention the World Economic Forum in paragraph 4? A. To highlight 4 ocean’s initiative. B. To prove cleanups’ recycling ability. C. To stress the challenge facing clean ups. D. To complain about massive plastic waste. 7. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs? A. Clean ups are funded by donations. B. 4 ocean ensured global food security. C. 4 ocean’s work has a far-reaching effect. D. Bracelets are collected from global artists. C In a world filled with social media, streaming movie’s, and endless access to books, it seems strange that many people feel bored. However, a study by katy Y. Y. Tame and Michael Inzlicht, published in Communications Psychology, reveals that digital media may actually increase our boredom. Research shows that since 2010, the amount of time people report feeling bored has significantly increased, especially after smartphones and social media became popular. Researchers explain that our ability to access entertainment anytime has raised our expectations for what is interesting or exciting. This is similar to addiction, where individuals need more stimulation (刺激) to feel satisfied. Consequently, when we engage in less exciting activities, such as reading or attending classes, we feel even more bored because we have become accustomed to higher levels of excitement. Another reason why strolling through platforms like TikTok can leave us feeling bored and without energy is that digital media breaks our attention. We quickly switch between videos and activities, while notifications from our phone’s make it difficult to focus. Also, knowing that we can be distracted makes it harder to focus. “Digital devices worsen boredom by distracting attention, raising the levels of engagement we want, weakening a sense of meaning, and being a useless way to deal with boredom,” tame and Inzlicht say in their paper. This phenomenon related to the “Dorito Theory” which suggests that unsatisfying experiences can still be addictive. As we scroll, we should consider whether our online experiences meet our expectations or merely distract us temporarily. Tam suggests that we can enjoy more meaningful experiences with digital media by seeking out longer content that allows for deeper engagement. However, this may be more challenging today due to our shorter attention duration. To strengthen our viewing experiences, we should focus on the content and limit distractions, similar to how we pay for a more immersive (沉浸式) experience in a movie theater. By doing so, we can find greater enjoyment in online videos rather than just skimming through them. This approach can help us overcome boredom more effectively. 8. What does the study focus on? A Digital media effects on boredom. B. Entertainment functions of media. C. Media usage habits of netizens. D. Popularity of streaming movies. 9. What leads to boredom increase according to the study? A. Lack of exciting books. B. Bad media experiences. C. Easy access to digital content. D. High enjoyment expectations. 10. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Assessing online experiences is a must. B. Shifting activities promoters focus. C. Using TikTok is highly addictive. D. Boredom leads to distraction. 11. What is Tam’s suggestion on dealing with boredom? A. Watching online videos. B. Avoiding using digital device. C. Turning to long and engaging content. D. Using multiple screens for stimulation. D People today are much cleverer than in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average ids rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020, a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it. Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve, how could it improve so rapidly? The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation. Just as muscles need food and exercise, the brain require proper nutrients and activity for development. Today’s children are less likely to be malnourished and more likely to attend school. In wealthy countries, the Flynn effect has largely stabilized, while many children in poorer countries still lack enough nutrition to reach their cognitive (认知) potential. Globally, 22 % of children under five — about 150 million — are malnourished, and half suffer firm micronutrient short ages, which can lead to a loss of up to 15 id points. Several factors hinder proper nutrition, including war and disease, which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient shortages. Poverty is a significant issue, but not the only cause; UNICEF data shows that many malnourished children come from non-poor families, highlighting the impact of poor eating habits and cultural practice. For instance, in patriarchal societies, pregnant women may face iron short ages due to unequal food distribution. Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc (锌), which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference. Another method is providing small cash sums to families with infants or pregnant mothers. Still, more research is needed to address these issues. For example, scientists in Bangladesh are exploring ways to promote beneficial gut bacteria among women in local poor areas. Researchers in Africa are working on treating anemia (贫血症) without worsening malaria. Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as we rely more on AI, but as Harvard’s Steven Pinker notes, human intelligence is a vital “tail wind” helping us adapt to new challengers. Investing in the next generation’s nutrition is not just right; it is essential. 12. What does “Flynn effect” refer to? A. Intelligence can be passed down. B. Nutrition has an impact on id. C. Average ids change over time. D. Average ids go up per decade. 13. Which can replace the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3? A. Promote. B. Block. C. Balance. D. Involve. 14. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. More efforts are needed. B. AI affects human greatly. C. Nutrition is less important. D. Effective strategies are adopted. 15. Which would be the suitable title for the passage? A. AI as Human id B. IQ Changes Over Time C. Nutrition for Smarter Kids D. challenge for Kids’ Growth 第二节（共5小题; 每小题 2.5分, 满分 12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项. 选项中有两项为多余选项. 4 Productivity Tips to Achieve More with Less Getting things done isn’t about working at full speed all day. ___16___.

It was 8:00 a.m.. As the film crew of student moviemakers hopped out of the van and started unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading a book. Sometimes, it made me feel a bit sad that I was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need a parent’s advice, help and caring. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions, helping each other and supporting their friends through whatever assignments they were given. I was just the driver. Anything else that I might be able to impress on them was not required and, I dare say, unwelcome. With all the equipment unloaded, the van now became the snack mobile and place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys when necessary. To finish reading the book, I got out looking for a place to sit down. It was early, but I didn’t want to sit in the sun. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so faces away, I spied a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more bodies. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the end seat so that I could rest my hand on the arm. The man on the other end looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were untidy, his hair was messy, and I could smell something unpleasant. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of misshapen and blacked-out teeth. That was it. He wasn’t bothering me, and I thought I wasn’t bothering him. We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood, walked in front of me and bowed. I looked up, not knowing what was going to happen next. In a slightly shake but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 BBCBA 6—10 BAACB 11—15 CCBAB 16—20 CAAAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 龙岩市 2024 ～ 2025 年第一学期期末高二教学质量检查 英语试题 （考试时间: 120 分钟满分: 150 分） 注意事项: 1. 答题前, 考生务必用 0.5毫米黑色签字笔将自己的姓名、座号、考生号、县区和科类填写在答题卡和试卷规定的位置上. 2. 第 I 卷每小题选出答案后, 用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;如需改动, 用橡皮擦干净后, 再选涂其他答案标号. 3. 第Ⅱ卷必须用0.5毫米黑色签字笔作答, 答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应的位置, 不能写在试卷上; 如需改动, 先划掉原来的答案, 然后再写上新的答案; 不能使用涂改液、胶带纸、修正带. 不按以上要求作答的答案无效. 第一部分 听力（共两节, 满分 30 分） 第一节（共5小题; 每小题1.5分, 满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话. 每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项. 听完每段对话后, 你都有 10 秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题. 每段对话仅读一遍. 1.

Trash can be seen almost everywhere on the beach and in the ocean and the amount grows rapidly, even out of control. Luckily, 4 ocean, an ocean clean-up company, has completed a record-setting feat (伟业) for collecting 30 million pounds of trash. Operating in 12 locations across three countries worldwide, including the USA, Guatemala, and Indonesia, 4 ocean has become one of the leading ocean clean-up companies devoted to ending the ocean plastic crisis. “We’ve built an entire business for the purpose of cleaning the ocean. With hundreds of local captains and crew members collecting trash from our oceans and coast lines seven days a week and the support of millions of people doing their part to prevent plastic pollution, I’m sure our work will have a lasting impact on the ocean,” said Alex Schulze, 4 ocean CEO and co-founder. The world has produced an estimated 18.3 trillion pounds of plastic since the 1950s; less than 10% of it has been recycled while 79% is left in the environment, Global plastic production is expected to triple by 2050, according to the World Economic Forum, which means an increase in the amount of plastic waste polluting the environment. But plastic pollution isn’t just an environmental problem; it also threatens the global economy and global food security. Ocean-based industries like fishing and tourism employ billions of people; the blue economy also contributes several trillion dollars of goods and services to the global economy every year. More than 3 billion get their primary source of protein from seafood. “That’s why it’s important to us that our operations have a direct impact on the people and places most impacted by plastic pollution,” said Schulze. He adds, “All of our captains and crews live in the communities we serve and are hired as full-time employees. All of our bracelets (手镯) are hand crafted by artisans living in either Guatemala or Bali. Every bracelet bought funds our clean ups and created jobs that provide the steady income people in these communities need right now.” 4. What is the intention of 4 ocean? A. To increase the employment rate. B. To address the ocean plastic issue. C. To complete a record-setting feat. D. To set up a transnational company. 5. What contributes to 4 ocean’s success? A.

More than 3 billion get their primary source of protein from seafood. “That’s why it’s important to us that our operations have a direct impact on the people and places most impacted by plastic pollution,” said Schulze. (但塑料污染不仅仅是一个环境问题，它还威胁着全球经济和全球粮食安全。渔业和旅游业等海洋产业雇佣了数十亿人；蓝色经济每年也为全球经济贡献数万亿美元的商品和服务。超过30亿人将海鲜作为主要的蛋白质来源。舒尔茨说：“这就是为什么我们的运营必须直接影响那些受塑料污染影响最大的人和地区的原因。”)”和最后一段“He adds, “All of our captains and crews live in the communities we serve and are hired as full-time employees. All of our bracelets (手镯) are hand crafted by artisans living in either Guatemala or Bali. Every bracelet bought funds our clean ups and created jobs that provide the steady income people in these communities need right now.” (他补充道：“我们所有的船长和船员都居住在我们服务的社区，并被聘为全职员工。我们的所有手镯都是由居住在危地马拉或巴厘岛的工匠手工制作的。每售出一个手镯，都会为我们的清洁工作提供资金，并创造就业机会，为这些社区的人们提供目前所需的稳定收入。”)”可知，4 ocean的工作不仅在治理塑料污染方面有直接的效果，同时也产生了更深远的社会经济影响，可得出4 ocean的工作具有深远的影响。故选C。 C In a world filled with social media, streaming movie’s, and endless access to books, it seems strange that many people feel bored. However, a study by katy Y. Y. Tame and Michael Inzlicht, published in Communications Psychology, reveals that digital media may actually increase our boredom. Research shows that since 2010, the amount of time people report feeling bored has significantly increased, especially after smartphones and social media became popular. Researchers explain that our ability to access entertainment anytime has raised our expectations for what is interesting or exciting. This is similar to addiction, where individuals need more stimulation (刺激) to feel satisfied. Consequently, when we engage in less exciting activities, such as reading or attending classes, we feel even more bored because we have become accustomed to higher levels of excitement. Another reason why strolling through platforms like TikTok can leave us feeling bored and without energy is that digital media breaks our attention. We quickly switch between videos and activities while notifications from our phone’s make it difficult to focus. Also, knowing that we can be distracted makes it harder to focus. “Digital devices worsen boredom by distracting attention, raising the levels of engagement we want, weakening a sense of meaning, and being a useless way to deal with boredom,” tame and Inzlicht say in their paper. This phenomenon related to the “Dorito Theory” which suggests that unsatisfying experiences can still be addictive. As we scroll, we should consider whether our online experiences meet our expectations or merely distract us temporarily. Tam suggests that we can enjoy more meaningful experiences with digital media by seeking out longer content that allows for deeper engagement. However, this may be more challenging today due to our shorter attention duration. To strengthen our viewing experiences, we should focus on the content and limit distractions, similar to how we pay for a more immersive (沉浸式的) experience in a movie theater. By doing so, we can find greater enjoyment in online videos rather than just skimming through them. This approach can help us overcome boredom more effectively. 8. What does the study focus on? A. Digital media effects on boredom. B. Entertainment functions of media. C. Media usage habits of netizens. D. Popularity of streaming movies. 9. What leads to boredom increase according to the study? A. Lack of exciting books. B. Bad media experiences. C. Easy access to digital content. D. High enjoyment expectations. 10. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. Assessing online experiences is a must. B. Shifting activities promoters focus. C. Using TikTok is highly addictive. D. Boredom leads to distraction. 11. What is Tam’s suggestion on dealing with boredom? A. Watching online videos. B. Avoiding using digital device. C. Turning to long and engaging content. D. Using multiple screens for stimulation. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了数字媒体可能增加人们的无聊感及其原因与对策。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“However, a study by katy Y. Y. Tame and Michael Inzlicht, published in Communications Psychology, reveals that digital media may actually increase our boredom. (然而，katy Y.Y.Tame和Michael Inzlicht在《传播心理学》上发表的一项研究表明，数字媒体实际上可能会增加我们的无聊感。)”可知，这项研究主要关注的是数字媒体对无聊感的影响。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“Researchers explain that our ability to access entertainment anytime has raised our expectations for what is interesting or exciting. This is similar to addiction, where individuals need more stimulation to feel satisfied. Consequently, when we engage in less exciting activities, such as reading or attending classes, we feel even more bored because we have become accustomed to higher levels of excitement. (研究人员解释说，我们随时都能获取娱乐的能力提高了我们对有趣或兴奋事物的期望。这与上瘾类似，个体需要更多的刺激才能感到满足。因此，当我们从事不太令人兴奋的活动，如阅读或上课时，我们会感到更加无聊，因为我们已经习惯了更高水平的兴奋感。)”可知，无聊感增加的原因是人们对娱乐的享受期望过高。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“As we scroll, we should consider whether our online experiences meet our expectations or merely distract us temporarily. (当我们浏览时，应该思考我们的在线体验是否满足了我们的期望，还是仅仅暂时分散了我们的注意力。)”可知，评估在线体验是必须的。故选A。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。由文章最后一段中“Tam suggests that we can enjoy more meaningful experiences with digital media by seeking out longer content that allows for deeper engagement. (Tam建议我们可以通过寻找允许更深入参与的更长的内容，来享受数字媒体带来的更有意义的体验。)”可知，Tam对于处理无聊感的建议是转向更长和更吸引人的内容。故选C。 D People today are much cleverer than in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average ids rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020, a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it. Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve, how could it improve so rapidly? The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation. Just as muscles need food and exercise, the brain require proper nutrients and activity for development. Today’s children are less likely to be malnourished and more likely to attend school. In wealthy countries, the Flynn effect has largely stabilized, while many children in poorer countries still lack enough nutrition to reach their cognitive (认知) potential. Globally, 22 % of children under five — about 150 million — are malnourished, and half suffer firm micronutrient short ages, which can lead to a loss of up to 15 id points. Several factors hinder proper nutrition, including war and disease, which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient shortages. Poverty is a significant issue, but not the only cause; UNICEF data shows that many malnourished children come from non-poor families, highlighting the impact of poor eating habits and cultural practice. For instance, in patriarchal societies, pregnant women may face iron short ages due to unequal food distribution. Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc (锌), which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference. Another method is providing small cash sums to families with infants or pregnant mothers. Still, more research is needed to address these issues. For example, scientists in Bangladesh are exploring ways to promote beneficial gut bacteria among women in local poor areas. Researchers in Africa are working on treating anemia (贫血症) without worsening malaria. Some argue that human intelligence will matter less as we rely more on AI, but as Harvard’s Steven Pinker notes, human intelligence is a vital “tail wind” helping us adapt to new challengers. Investing in the next generation’s nutrition is not just right; it is essential. 12. What does “Flynn effect” refer to? A. Intelligence can be passed down. B. Nutrition has an impact on id. C. Average ids change over time. D. Average ids go up per decade. 13. Which can replace the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 3? A. Promote. B. Block. C. Balance. D. Involve. 14. What does the author intend to convey in the last paragraph? A. More efforts are needed. B. AI affects human greatly. C. Nutrition is less important. D. Effective strategies are adopted. 15. Which would be the suitable title for the passage? A. AI as Human id B. IQ Changes Over Time C. Nutrition for Smarter Kids D. challenge for Kids’ Growth 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“Flynn效应”及营养对儿童智商的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第一段中“A study of 72 countries found that average ids rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020, a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it. (一项针对72个国家的研究发现，从1948年到2020年，平均智商每十年上升2.2点，这种现象被称为“弗林效应”，以首次发现它的科学家詹姆斯·弗林命名。)”可知，Flynn effect指的是平均智商每十年都有上升。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。由第三段中“Several factors hinder proper nutrition, including war and disease, which prevent families from accessing food and lead to nutrient shortages. (几个因素hinder适当的营养摄入，包括战争和疾病，这些因素使家庭无法获得食物并导致营养短缺。)”可知，战争和疾病等因素阻碍了适当的营养摄入，阻止家庭获取食物并导致营养不足。所以hinder意为“阻碍”，与block“阻挡”意思相符。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。由最后一段中“Effective strategies include enriching basic foods with micronutrients like iron and zinc (锌), which is a cost-effective way to make a big difference. Another method is providing small cash sums to families with infants or pregnant mothers. Still, more research is needed to address these issues. (有效的策略包括在基本食物中添加如铁和锌等微量营养素，这是一种成本效益高的方式，可以带来巨大变化。另一种方法是向有婴儿或怀孕母亲的家庭提供小额现金补助。然而，仍需更多研究来解决这些问题。)”可知，作者在最后一段想要传达的是需要付出更多的努力。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“People today are much cleverer than in previous generations. A study of 72 countries found that average ids rose by 2.2 points per decade from 1948 to 2020, a phenomenon known as the “Flynn effect,” named after the scientist James Flynn who first identified it. Given that it took millions of years for the brain to evolve, how could it improve so rapidly? (现代人的聪明才智比前几代人要高得多。一项针对72个国家的研究发现，从1948年到2020年，平均智商每十年上升2.2点，这种现象被称为“弗林效应”，以首次发现它的科学家詹姆斯·弗林命名。考虑到大脑进化需要数百万年的时间，它是如何如此迅速地得到改善的呢？)”和第二段中“The answer lies in better nutrition and mental stimulation. (答案在于更好的营养和精神刺激。)”可知，文章主要讲述了智商随时间变化的现象以及营养对儿童智商的影响，所以适合本文的标题是“Nutrition for Smarter Kids (营养造就聪明孩子)”。故选C。 第二节（共5小题; 每小题 2.5分, 满分 12.5分） 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项. 选项中有两项为多余选项. 4 Productivity Tips to Achieve More with Less Getting things done isn’t about working at full speed all day. ___16___.

It was 8:00 a.m.. As the film crew of student moviemakers hopped out of the van and started unloading a ton of equipment, I sat in the driver’s seat reading a book. Sometimes, it made me feel a bit sad that I was not wanted or needed on the set. These kids used to need a parent’s advice, help and caring. Now, as older teens, they were making their own decisions, helping each other and supporting their friends through whatever assignments they were given. I was just the driver. Anything else that I might be able to impress on them was not required and, I dare say, unwelcome. With all the equipment unloaded, the van now became the snack mobile and place to leave personal items. My job, as the driver, was to stay within calling distance with the keys when necessary. To finish reading the book, I got out looking for a place to sit down. It was early, but I didn’t want to sit in the sun. Against a wall, in the shade, just twenty or so faces away, I spied a beautifully carved park bench. I noticed that a man was sitting on one end, but there was plenty of room for at least two more bodies. Walking over, I set my drink on the ground near the leg of the bench and sat on the end seat so that I could rest my hand on the arm. The man on the other end looked at me oddly but remained seated. I quickly discovered that he’d probably spent the night on the bench. His clothes were untidy, his hair was messy, and I could smell something unpleasant. I looked at him and smiled, and he smiled back with a mouth of misshapen and blacked-out teeth. That was it. He wasn’t bothering me, and I thought I wasn’t bothering him. We both sat there for over an hour. I was reading. He was intently watching the filming. He then stood, walked in front of me and bowed. I looked up, not knowing what was going to happen next. In a slightly shake but clear voice, he said, “Thank you.” 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Astonished by his simple “thank you,” I looked at him with confusion. He continued, “Most people avoid me or tell me to get lost. You are the first person who didn’t mind sitting next to me, like I’m a person too. Thank you for treating me with respect.” I was taken aback, realizing how a small act of kindness had such a significant impact on him. “We all deserve kindness,” I replied softly. He nodded, gathered his few belongings, and gave me one last appreciative smile before walking away. This brief encounter left me pondering the profound influence of acknowledging one’s humanity. Later, as the film crew began to load their equipment, I walked up to them. Sharing the experience with the students, I said, “Today, I learned something valuable. Every act of kindness counts. Even when you think it’s insignificant, it could mean the world to someone else.” The students listened intently, absorbing the lesson. Inspired, they acknowledged the importance of empathy and compassion, ready to incorporate this mindset into their lives and work. I realized that even as just the driver, I still had much to offer, both as a lesson and as an example. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者作为学生电影制作团队的司机，接送孩子们到拍摄地点，并在拍摄过程中感受到自己被边缘化的心情。作者感觉自己不再被需要。为了打发时间，作者选择坐在公园长椅上读书，在那里遇到了一位看似无家可归的人。尽管对方外表邋遢且气味不佳，两人仍和谐共处。最终，这位陌生人对作者表示感谢。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“他那句简单的‘谢谢’让我很吃惊，我困惑地看着他。”可知，第一段可以描写这位看似无家可归的人对此行为的解释和二人的交流。 ②由第二段句首内容“后来，当摄制组开始装载他们的设备时，我走向他们。”可知，第二段可以描写作者对孩子们讲述这件事的意义和感受。 2.续写线索：困惑地看着—解释—走向孩子们—学生们听—感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①避开：avoid/shun ②意识到：realize/be aware ③对……有如此重大的影响：have such a significant impact on/have such a significant influence on 情绪类 ①感激的：appreciative/grateful ②同情：empathy/sympathy 【点睛】【高分句型1】You are the first person who didn’t mind sitting next to me, like I’m a person too.(运用了who引导的定语从句) 【高分句型2】I was taken aback, realizing how a small act of kindness had such a significant impact on him.
