With twenty carefully selected gardening attractions dotted around the county, and each of them signposted for smooth navigation, the Carlow Garden Trail gives visitors a chance to see the county in new and remarkable ways. The Carlow Garden Trail also offers visitors the opportunity to discover and enjoy some of the spectacular houses that once shaped the cultural and agricultural life of the county. Beyond the impressive appearances of these ancestral homes, visitors can engage themselves in the magnificent sights of some of the most significant homes in Irish history. Whether you’ re admiring beautifully landscaped historical gardens or the rooms and architectural masterpieces, these are special treasures to enjoy and explore. The changing seasons of the gardener’s world — celebrated in many of the sights along the trail with special events and festivals — make Carlow a perfect place to re-visit throughout the year. Of course the county also hosts the Carlow Garden Festival over ten days at the end of July each year, including some of the top gardening experts from the UK and Ireland with themed talks and guided tours at gardening attractions throughout the county. From beginners to passionate gardeners and from young to old, there is something for everyone. Plan your visit now. 1. Who is the passage intended for? A. Nature Lovers. B. Irish historians. C. Travel agencies. D. Local residents. 2. What do we know about the Carlow Gardern Festival? A. It is mainly aimed at experienced gardeners. B. It takes place in the middle of June each year. C. It celebrates the changing seasons with special food. D. It features gardening specialists from the UK and Ireland. 3. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A news report. B. A travel brochure. C. A scientific journal. D. A historical document. B Yash Mehta, 14, got the idea for his first science fair project on a trip to Old Delhi, India. There, he visited a school for blind students and noticed that none of them used electronic braille (盲文) readers. They were just too costly. So he decided to build a more affordable one. His device uses tiny spinning motors to create vibrations that feel like the raised dots of braille letters. He then tested it with students at New Delhi’ s Blind Relief Association, achieving 86% accuracy in braille reading compared to print. “I’ve never been capable of software,” Yash says. But building his device required coding skills, which he learned by watching YouTube videos and reading Reddit posts. “Picking up that new skill was cool,” he adds, “and seeing everything fit together the first time was just pure excitement.” Despite his initial joy, the process wasn’t without challenges. At first, he attempted to base his design on a TENS machine — a device that uses electric pulses to relieve pain, hoping these pulses could create the feeling of braille dots. When this approach didn’t work, he realized that instead of starting over, he only needed to change the way of spreading information to the finger. This idea helped him power through the development of his motor-based device. Yash’s research earned him the first-place Technology Award in the 2024 Thermo Fisher Scientific Junior Innovators Challenge. “I’m planning to add OCR,” Yash says. Right now, his machine translates computer texts into braille letters. But with OCR, it could translate printed or handwritten texts into braille. For those new to science fairs, Yash advises, “Try to find something that you think can be done based on your current abilities. Also, ask people in your community what problems they need solving. I think that’s the most important part — getting first-hand feedback.” 4. Which of the following best describes Yash’s braille reader? A. Water-resistant. B. Budget-friendly. C. Pocket-sized. D. Energy-efficient. 5. What can we learn about Yash from paragraph 2? A. He is determined. B. He is humble. C. He is experienced. D. He is sociable. 6. How did Yash handle his challenge during the design process? A. By focusing on electric pulse strength. B. By changing the TENS machine’s design. C. By starting over with a new type of motor. D. By adjusting how messages reached the finger. 7. What does Yash advise beginners to do? A. Seek feedback from their peers. B. Choose difficult problems to solve. C. Find projects matching their skill level. D. Share experiences with the community. C Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities at Columbia University since 1998. He loves the job, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have become bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. This development puzzled Dames until a first-year student shared how challenging she had found the early assignments. The student said that at her public high school, she was only assigned passages, but not entire books. “My jaw dropped,” Dames told me. This helped explain the change: It’s not that they don’t want to read. It’s that they don’t know how. Failing to complete a 14-line poem without giving in to distraction (干扰) suggests one familiar explanation for the decrease in reading ability: smartphones. Teenagers are constantly drawn by their devices. Reading books, even for pleasure, can’t compete with TikTok. In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadn’t read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped. But high school kids appear to be encountering fewer and fewer books in the classroom as well. Since the ability to read an entire book is difficult to assess, teachers focus on skills that are easier to measure. They have shifted from books to short passages, followed by questions about the author’s main idea, just as standardized reading-comprehension tests do. Faced with this situation, many college professors feel they have no choice but to assign less reading and lower their expectations. This means students will miss out on the mental development that comes from reading entire books. Reading enlarges your sympathies. Deep reading — sustained focus on a text — encourages a number of valuable mental habits, including critical thinking and self-reflection, in ways that skimming or reading in short passages does not. I can imagine worse preparations for the trials, and thrills, of Literature Humanities. But we’ve never forgotten the originals. To understand the human condition, and to appreciate humankind’s greatest achievements, you still need to read The Iliad — all of it. 8. What does the underlined word “bewildered” mean in paragraph 1? A Delighted. B. Confused. C. Amazed. D. Relieved. 9. Why does the author list numbers in paragraph 2? A. To highlight the rise of social media. B. To clarify the problems of smartphones. C. To illustrate the change in reading methods. D. To demonstrate the decline in book reading. 10. What is a result of professors assigning less reading? A. The shortage of learning motivation. B. The reduction of genuine sympathies. C. The loss of cognitive growth opportunities. D. The restriction of personal academic progress. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards reading originals? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. D A robotic finger that could find cancerous lumps (肿块) under the skin has been invented by scientists. The device made by Chinese engineers has a highly sensitive form of machine feeling that uses springs to detect tiny lumps. Experts hope the device may serve as a “robodoctor” to help clinicians with routine tasks like taking a pulse or checking for lumps. Dr Hongbo Wang, an author of the study from the University of Science and Technology of China, said: “We believe a hand that can move freely with these fingers could serve as a ‘robodoctor’ in future hospitals, especially helping patients in rural or undeveloped areas lacking trained medical professionals.” Scientists have created robotic fingers and hands for a long time, but it has been a continuous struggle to copy the soft, delicate sensing abilities of a doctor’s hands. To address this challenge, scientists developed a device using springs, cameras, electrical sensors, and AI to detect pressure changes on the fingertip and identify objects it touches. In their study, scientists say the device could be adjusted to be as sensitive as a human finger. Dr Wang said: “Humans can easily recognize the firmness of diverse objects by simply pressing them with their fingers.” Similarly, since the device has the ability to sense both its bending and the force at the fingertip, it can detect firmness similar to our human hands by simply pressing an object. The Chinese team found that the robotic finger can type “like a human hand”, spelling out the word “hello”. By using additional sensors to improve joint mobility, enabling the device to move in multiple directions just like a human finger, the researchers say it may be ready to perform “effective and efficient” medical examinations in the near future. Dr Wang added: “We hope to develop an intelligent hand, together with a sensorised artificial muscle-driven robotic arm, to copy the unique functions and fine movements of the human hands.” 12. What is the function of the robotic finger? A. To replace human doctors. B. To diagnose various diseases. C. To detect small physical changes. D. To conduct highly precise surgeries. 13. Why does the author mention the robotic finger’s typing ability? A. To show its sensing capability. B. To prove its reliability. C To stress its spelling ability. D. To reveal its complexity. 14. How do researchers plan to improve the robotic finger? A. By adding more basic functions. B. By enhancing its existing features. C. By preparing it for medical operations. D. By using AI to improve joint mobility. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Progress in robotic operation technology. B. Benefits of robotic hands in medical care. C. Applications of AI in diagnosing diseases. D. Invention of robotic fingers in cancer detection. 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。 Imagine a sport where athletes with a vision disability compete at the highest level, relying on sound and teamwork rather than sight.

The air was fresh with the sweet smell of flowers, and the distant sound of cars brought a sense of calm. His backpack, full of books and dreams, swung with each step, marking the end of another school day. Spotting a shiny object on the roadside, Ethan bent down and picked up a stylish new smartphone. It looked almost untouched, and his heart raced as he realized how valuable it was. For a moment, he imagined the happiness it would bring to his tech-loving little brother or how it could ease his parents’ financial load. But a quiet voice within urged him: “Do the right thing.” The smartphone, once a lucky find, now felt like a test of his integrity. With determination, Ethan decided to find the phone’s owner. He searched for any contact information or recent calls, his fingers carefully tapping the screen. He felt a sense of duty — this small act would speak volumes about who he was. Taking a deep breath, he dialed a number, his hand shaking slightly with a mix of nerves and the weight of doing the right thing. The phone rang, and with each ring, his resolve grew stronger. When Mr. Thompson finally answered, Ethan’s voice, though young, was firm as he explained the situation. Mr. Thompson was overjoyed, his gratitude evident in his voice. They arranged to meet at the local café, a place where they could both feel comfortable and at ease. As Ethan hung up, a smile spread across his face. The walk to the coffee shop was a journey of reflection. Ethan passed by familiar scenes, neighbors tending their gardens, and children playing in the fading light. Each scene was a glimpse of life, simple yet profound, reminding him of the community he was part of. 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。 At the coffee shop, the meeting was brief but heartfelt. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Ethan walked home, he felt lighter, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CBABB 6-10 CBCAB 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 CBCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 赣州市2024-2025学年度第一学期期末考试 高三英语试卷 2025年1月 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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了14岁的Yash Mehta发明了盲文阅读器，并不断改进其功能，让盲文阅读器造福盲人。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“There, he visited a school for blind students and noticed that none of them used electronic braille (盲文) readers. They were just too costly. So he decided to build a more affordable one. (在那里，他参观了一所盲人学校，发现他们都没有使用电子盲文阅读器。它们的成本太高了。因此，他决定建造一个更便宜的。)”可知，Yash Mehta发现盲文阅读器太贵了，所以决定建造一个便宜的，能符合人们预算的，因此推断Yash的盲文阅读器的便宜的。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中““I’ve never been capable of software,” Yash says. But building his device required coding skills, which he learned by watching YouTube videos and reading Reddit posts. (“我从来没有能力开发软件，”亚什说。但构建他的设备需要编码技能，这是他通过观看 YouTube 视频和阅读 Reddit 帖子学到的。 )”可知，Yash Mehta虽然不会开发软件，但是他通过自学来进行开发软件，由此可推知，他是一个意志坚定的人，故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Despite his initial joy, the process wasn’t without challenges. At first, he attempted to base his design on a TENS machine — a device that uses electric pulses to relieve pain, hoping these pulses could create the feeling of braille dots. When this approach didn’t work, he realized that instead of starting over, he only needed to change the way of spreading information to the finger. (尽管他最初很高兴，但这个过程并非没有挑战。起初，他尝试将自己的设计基于 TENS 机器——一种使用电脉冲来缓解疼痛的设备，希望这些脉冲能够产生盲文点的感觉。当这种方法不起作用时，他意识到不必重新开始，只需改变将信息传播到手指的方式即可。)”可知，Yash在设计过程中通过调整消息到达手指的方式来应对挑战。故选D。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Yash advises, “Try to find something that you think can be done based on your current abilities. (亚什建议，“尝试根据你目前的能力找到一些你认为可以完成的事情。”)”可知，Yash建议初学者寻找与他们的技能水平相匹配的项目。故选C。 C Nicholas Dames has taught Literature Humanities at Columbia University since 1998. He loves the job, but it has changed. Over the past decade, students have become bewildered by the thought of finishing multiple books a semester. This development puzzled Dames until a first-year student shared how challenging she had found the early assignments. The student said that at her public high school, she was only assigned passages, but not entire books. “My jaw dropped,” Dames told me. This helped explain the change: It’s not that they don’t want to read. It’s that they don’t know how. Failing to complete a 14-line poem without giving in to distraction (干扰) suggests one familiar explanation for the decrease in reading ability: smartphones. Teenagers are constantly drawn by their devices. Reading books, even for pleasure, can’t compete with TikTok. In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadn’t read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped. But high school kids appear to be encountering fewer and fewer books in the classroom as well. Since the ability to read an entire book is difficult to assess, teachers focus on skills that are easier to measure. They have shifted from books to short passages, followed by questions about the author’s main idea, just as standardized reading-comprehension tests do. Faced with this situation, many college professors feel they have no choice but to assign less reading and lower their expectations. This means students will miss out on the mental development that comes from reading entire books. Reading enlarges your sympathies. Deep reading — sustained focus on a text — encourages a number of valuable mental habits, including critical thinking and self-reflection, in ways that skimming or reading in short passages does not. I can imagine worse preparations for the trials, and thrills, of Literature Humanities. But we’ve never forgotten the originals. To understand the human condition, and to appreciate humankind’s greatest achievements, you still need to read The Iliad — all of it. 8. What does the underlined word “bewildered” mean in paragraph 1? A. Delighted. B. Confused. C. Amazed. D. Relieved. 9. Why does the author list numbers in paragraph 2? A. To highlight the rise of social media. B. To clarify the problems of smartphones. C. To illustrate the change in reading methods. D. To demonstrate the decline in book reading. 10. What is a result of professors assigning less reading? A. The shortage of learning motivation. B. The reduction of genuine sympathies. C. The loss of cognitive growth opportunities. D. The restriction of personal academic progress. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards reading originals? A. Doubtful. B. Supportive. C. Cautious. D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了学生阅读量较少这一现象及其对学生的影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“The student said that at her public high school, she was only assigned passages, but not entire books. “My jaw dropped,” Dames told me. This helped explain the change: It’s not that they don’t want to read. It’s that they don’t know how.(该学生说，在她的公立高中，她只分配了一些段落，而不是整本书。 “我的下巴都惊掉了，”达姆斯告诉我。这有助于解释这一变化：并不是他们不想读书。那是他们不知道如何读)”可知，学生们在高中时老师只分配一些段落而不是整本书让他们去读。由此猜测，学生们对一个学期读完多本书的想法感到困惑。划线单词意为“困惑的”，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Failing to complete a 14-line poem without giving in to distraction (干扰) suggests one familiar explanation for the decrease in reading ability: smartphones. Teenagers are constantly drawn by their devices. Reading books, even for pleasure, can’t compete with TikTok. In 1976, about 40 percent of high-school seniors said they had read at least six books for fun in the previous year, compared with 11.5 percent who hadn’t read any. By 2022, those percentages had flipped.(无法在不受到干扰的情况下完成一首 14 行诗，这表明阅读能力下降有一个常见的解释：智能手机。青少年总是被他们的设备所吸引。读书，即使是为了消遣，也无法与 TikTok 竞争。 1976 年，大约 40% 的高中生表示，他们在前一年至少读过六本书作为娱乐，相比之下，只有 11.5% 的人没有读过任何书。到 2022 年，这些百分比发生了逆转)”可推知，作者在第 2 段列出数字是为了证明学生读书量的下降。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Faced with this situation, many college professors feel they have no choice but to assign less reading and lower their expectations. This means students will miss out on the mental development that comes from reading entire books. Reading enlarges your sympathies. Deep reading — sustained focus on a text — encourages a number of valuable mental habits, including critical thinking and self-reflection, in ways that skimming or reading in short passages does not.(面对这种情况，许多大学教授感到别无选择，只能减少布置的阅读量，降低期望值。这意味着学生将错过阅读整本书所带来的智力发展。阅读可以增强你的同情心。深度阅读——持续专注于文本——可以培养一些有价值的心理习惯，包括批判性思维和自我反思，而略读或短文阅读则无法做到这一点)”可知，教授分配的阅读量减少，学生将错过阅读整本书所带来的智力发展，以及错失培养一些有价值的心理习惯的机会。由此可知，教授分配的阅读量减少的结果是学生的认知成长机会丧失。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I can imagine worse preparations for the trials, and thrills, of Literature Humanities. But we’ve never forgotten the originals. To understand the human condition, and to appreciate humankind’s greatest achievements, you still need to read The Iliad — all of it.(我可以想象为文学人文学科的考验和刺激做好更糟糕的准备。但我们从未忘记最初的作品。要了解人类的处境，要欣赏人类最伟大的成就，你仍然需要阅读《伊利亚特》——全​​部)”可推知，作者对于阅读原著的态度是支持的，故选B。 D A robotic finger that could find cancerous lumps (肿块) under the skin has been invented by scientists. The device made by Chinese engineers has a highly sensitive form of machine feeling that uses springs to detect tiny lumps. Experts hope the device may serve as a “robodoctor” to help clinicians with routine tasks like taking a pulse or checking for lumps. Dr Hongbo Wang, an author of the study from the University of Science and Technology of China, said: “We believe a hand that can move freely with these fingers could serve as a ‘robodoctor’ in future hospitals, especially helping patients in rural or undeveloped areas lacking trained medical professionals.” Scientists have created robotic fingers and hands for a long time, but it has been a continuous struggle to copy the soft, delicate sensing abilities of a doctor’s hands. To address this challenge, scientists developed a device using springs, cameras, electrical sensors, and AI to detect pressure changes on the fingertip and identify objects it touches. In their study, scientists say the device could be adjusted to be as sensitive as a human finger. Dr Wang said: “Humans can easily recognize the firmness of diverse objects by simply pressing them with their fingers.” Similarly, since the device has the ability to sense both its bending and the force at the fingertip, it can detect firmness similar to our human hands by simply pressing an object. The Chinese team found that the robotic finger can type “like a human hand”, spelling out the word “hello”. By using additional sensors to improve joint mobility, enabling the device to move in multiple directions just like a human finger, the researchers say it may be ready to perform “effective and efficient” medical examinations in the near future. Dr Wang added: “We hope to develop an intelligent hand, together with a sensorised artificial muscle-driven robotic arm, to copy the unique functions and fine movements of the human hands.” 12. What is the function of the robotic finger? A. To replace human doctors. B. To diagnose various diseases. C. To detect small physical changes. D. To conduct highly precise surgeries. 13. Why does the author mention the robotic finger’s typing ability? A. To show its sensing capability. B. To prove its reliability. C. To stress its spelling ability. D. To reveal its complexity. 14. How do researchers plan to improve the robotic finger? A. By adding more basic functions. B. By enhancing its existing features. C. By preparing it for medical operations. D. By using AI to improve joint mobility. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. Progress in robotic operation technology. B Benefits of robotic hands in medical care. C. Applications of AI in diagnosing diseases. D. Invention of robotic fingers in cancer detection. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国科学家发明了一种机器人手指，可以发现皮肤下的癌肿块。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A robotic finger that could find cancerous lumps (肿块) under the skin has been invented by scientists. The device made by Chinese engineers has a highly sensitive form of machine feeling that uses springs to detect tiny lumps.(科学家发明了一种机器人手指，可以发现皮肤下的癌肿块。中国工程师制造的设备具有高度灵敏的机器感觉，利用弹簧来检测微小的肿块)”可知，机械手指的功能是检测微小的身体变化。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Similarly, since the device has the ability to sense both its bending and the force at the fingertip, it can detect firmness similar to our human hands by simply pressing an object. The Chinese team found that the robotic finger can type “like a human hand”, spelling out the word “hello”.(同样，由于该设备能够感知其弯曲和指尖的力量，因此只需按压物体即可检测到类似于人手的硬度。中国团队发现，机器人手指可以“像人手一样”打字，拼出“你好”这个词。)”可知，作者提到机械手指的打字能力是为了展示其传感能力。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“By using additional sensors to improve joint mobility, enabling the device to move in multiple directions just like a human finger, the researchers say it may be ready to perform “effective and efficient” medical examinations in the near future.( 研究人员表示，通过使用额外的传感器来改善关节活动性，使该设备能够像人类手指一样向多个方向移动，它可能已经准备好在不久的将来进行“有效且高效”的医疗检查。)”可知，研究人员计划通过增强机器人手指现有的功能来改进机器人手指，故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A robotic finger that could find cancerous lumps (肿块) under the skin has been invented by scientists. The device made by Chinese engineers has a highly sensitive form of machine feeling that uses springs to detect tiny lumps.(科学家发明了一种机器人手指，可以发现皮肤下的癌肿块。中国工程师制造的设备具有高度灵敏的机器感觉，利用弹簧来检测微小的肿块)”可知，文章主要介绍了中国科学家发明了一种机器人手指，可以发现皮肤下的癌肿块。故选D。 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。 Imagine a sport where athletes with a vision disability compete at the highest level, relying on sound and teamwork rather than sight.

I think it’s an innovative idea. It would create a more authentic language environment, encouraging students to speak English naturally. This experience will not only improve our oral skills but also build our confidence in communicating with others in English. However, some students might find it difficult at first. To help them adapt, we could start with simple classroom instructions in English and organize small group activities, like role-plays or mini-presentations. These steps can gradually increase their comfort level. Overall, I believe this activity is beneficial and worth trying out. Yours sincerely, Li Hua Sample Two: Dear Ryan, I understand why you proposed having an “All-English Day” every Tuesday, and I appreciate your intention to help us improve our English. However, I’m a bit concerned that it might be too difficult for many students. Some of us may lack the vocabulary and feel stressed, leading to frustration rather than progress. Perhaps we could start in an easier way. For instance, we might introduce English-only sessions during breaks or have optional English clubs after school. This gradual approach would allow students to practice without feeling overwhelmed. In my view, a slower pace would help everyone feel more comfortable and learn more effectively.

The air was fresh with the sweet smell of flowers, and the distant sound of cars brought a sense of calm. His backpack, full of books and dreams, swung with each step, marking the end of another school day. Spotting a shiny object on the roadside, Ethan bent down and picked up a stylish new smartphone. It looked almost untouched, and his heart raced as he realized how valuable it was. For a moment, he imagined the happiness it would bring to his tech-loving little brother or how it could ease his parents’ financial load. But a quiet voice within urged him: “Do the right thing.” The smartphone, once a lucky find, now felt like a test of his integrity. With determination, Ethan decided to find the phone’s owner. He searched for any contact information or recent calls, his fingers carefully tapping the screen. He felt a sense of duty — this small act would speak volumes about who he was. Taking a deep breath, he dialed a number, his hand shaking slightly with a mix of nerves and the weight of doing the right thing. The phone rang, and with each ring, his resolve grew stronger. When Mr. Thompson finally answered, Ethan’s voice, though young, was firm as he explained the situation. Mr. Thompson was overjoyed, his gratitude evident in his voice. They arranged to meet at the local café, a place where they could both feel comfortable and at ease. As Ethan hung up, a smile spread across his face. The walk to the coffee shop was a journey of reflection. Ethan passed by familiar scenes, neighbors tending their gardens, and children playing in the fading light. Each scene was a glimpse of life, simple yet profound, reminding him of the community he was part of. 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。 At the coffee shop, the meeting was brief but heartfelt. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Ethan walked home, he felt lighter, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At the coffee shop the meeting was brief but heartfelt. Mr. Thompson couldn’t stop thanking Ethan, his eyes shining with gratitude. He even took out a small sum of money as a reward, but Ethan politely declined. “It’s the right thing to do,” Ethan said with a smile. Mr. Thompson then gave Ethan a big hug, saying he was a role-model for his own kids. Ethan blushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed but also very proud. As Ethan walked home, he felt lighter, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders. He thought about how a small act of integrity could bring so much joy and a sense of fulfillment. The familiar sights of his neighborhood seemed even more charming. He realized that being part of this community meant looking out for one another. This experience not only strengthened his belief in honesty but also made him cherish the simple yet precious moments in life more. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Ethan放学回家途中捡到一部崭新的智能手机，他虽想到这部手机能给爱科技的弟弟带来快乐，或减轻父母经济负担，但内心的声音让他坚守正直，决定寻找失主。他通过查找手机里的联系信息联系上失主Mr. Thompson，两人约在当地咖啡馆见面。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在咖啡店，这次会面简短但真挚。”可知，第一段可描写Ethan和Mr. Thompson在咖啡店见面后，Mr. Thompson对Ethan的感谢以及Ethan的回应。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Ethan走回家时，他感觉更轻松了，仿佛肩上的重担被卸下了。”可知，第二段可描写Ethan回家路上的内心感受和思考。 2.续写线索：Mr. Thompson对Ethan感谢——Ethan的回应——回家时，Ethan感觉更轻松——对自己诚信行为的肯定——对社区和生活的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：decline/refuse ②拥抱某人：give sb. a hug/embrace sb. ③意识到：realize/be aware 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/pleasure ②尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mr. Thompson couldn’t stop thanking Ethan, his eyes shining with gratitude.（运用了独立主格结构） 【高分句型2】Mr. Thompson then gave Ethan a big hug, saying he was a role-model for his own kids.（运用了现在分词作状语） 【高分句型3】He realized that being part of this community meant looking out for one another.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 听力答案：1-5 CBABB 6-10 CBCAB 11-15 CCBBA 16-20 CBCCA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
