B Fang Li, a 70-year-old director and producer, hit the headline with The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru. Late in September 1942, the Japanese military transported over 1,800 British prisoners of war from Hong Kong to Japan by ship. In the waters off Dongji Island, it was torpedoed (被鱼雷击中) by a US submarine. Fishermen from Zhoushan risked their lives to save 384 POWs. Fang was shocked. “How had we in China never heard of the Lisbon Maru? We know of the Titanic, but no one here ever mentioned the Lisbon Maru.” This mystery aroused Fang's curiosity, leading him to begin the search for the ship in 2016. During the journey, Fang learned of 94-year-old Lin Agen, the sole surviving fisherman to have participated in the rescue, and of a 98-year-old British soldier, Dennis Morley, who survived the ordeal. “It felt like a race against time. We had to document their stories before it was too late,” Fang says. Fang launched a search for more survivors and their families. He placed ads in British newspapers like The Sunday Times and The Guardian. “People thought I was crazy — “Who even reads newspapers anymore? they said. But I knew that the elderly, like myself, still do,” Fang says. The campaign was a success, leading to BBC Radio 4 inviting him on a show, which in turn connected him with 380 POW families. On Aug 23, The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru premiered on Dongji Island, where the tragedy occurred. Fang wrote on his WeChat moments:“We finally showed the documentary on Dongji Island, the very place where our ancestors performed their heroic acts 82 years ago. I also received the honorary title of ‘Dongji Island Citizen’ — a privilege I treasure deeply.” 24. Where could you find the passage? A. In an academic journal. B. In a history report. C. In an entertainment magazine. D. In a film review. 25 What does Fang mean by “It felt like a race against time” in paragraph 3? A. He wanted to save every minute to finish the film. B. He wanted to solve the mystery as soon as possible. C. It was already too late for people in China to hear of the ship. D. It was vital to document the story before the witnesses passed away. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. There was a natural disaster that destroyed the ship. B. Fang received doubt when placing ads in newspapers. C. Fang became a citizen of Dongji Island after the premiere of the film. D. The film was produced on Dongji Island where the tragedy occurred. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Fang Li: a Determined Director. B. Dongji Island: a Land of Heroes. C. Dongji Island Citizen: an Honorary Privilege. D. The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru: a Moving Tragedy. C Scientists have made an amazing discovery deep underground in South Africa. They found tiny living creatures called microbes in a rock estimating to be 2 billion years old! This rock was found almost 50 feet below the surface in a special place called the Bushveld Igneous Complex. This finding is very exciting because it shows the oldest known living microbes found in such extreme conditions, much older than any other microbes found before. The leader of the research team, Yohey Suzuki, said, “We didn't know if 2-billion-year-old rocks were habitable. Until now, the oldest geological layer in which living microorganisms had been found was a 100-million-year-old deposit beneath the ocean floor, so this is a very exciting discovery.” The rock sample was about 1 foot long and came from an area known for having a lot of valuable minerals. This area was formed when hot magma (岩浆) cooled down slowly underground. Because the rocks have stayed mostly the same for billions of years, they created safe little spaces, or cracks, where microbes could live and thrive. To make sure that the microbes they found were really from the old rock and not just something that got mixed in later, the scientists used some special tools to study them. They used three different methods called electron microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy to look closely at the microbes’ DNA and proteins, and were able to show that the microbes were alive and that they had lived in that rock for a very long time. Finding these ancient microbes helps scientists understand how life can exist even in extreme conditions. The researchers hope that by studying these ancient microbes, they can learn more about how life began on Earth and how it evolved over time. They are also curious to see if this can help them find signs of life on other planets, like Mars. 28. Why was the discovery of microbes thrilling? A. Because it proves the 2-billion-year-old rocks were inhabitable. B. Because it discovers the oldest known living microbes in the world. C. Because it reveals the world deep under the Bushveld Igneous Complex. D. Because it uncovers a 100-million-year-old deposit beneath the ocean floor. 29. What made it possible for microbes to survive? A. The extreme weather. B. The melting magma. C. The stable conditions. D. The diverse minerals. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The microbes they discovered. B. The discoveries they made. C. The research methods they applied. D. The organisms they mixed. 31. What may these ancient microbes help researchers to learn in the future? A. The inhabitability of the Mars. B. The signs of life in severe conditions. C. The DNA and proteins of other species. D. The emergence and evolution of life. D Aspects of your personality can be revealed in a heartbeat, literally, a new study from Germany suggests. The study identified heartbeat “signatures”— wave patterns in the heart's electrical activity —that were linked with personality traits. People with certain heartbeat signatures scored higher on tests of neuroticism (神经过敏) — meaning these individuals tend to experience more negative emotions, such as anxiety and a depressed mood, and fewer positive emotions, including happiness and cheerfulness. The study involved 425 university students ages 18 to 33. The students completed personality tests, and had their heart electrical activity measured using electrocardiography (心电图). “With this method, we have found something that is perhaps more accurate, and more relatable, than many other measures of personality,” said study researcher Stefan Koelsch, a professor of biological psychology at the Freie University Berlin. The results suggest such heartbeat signatures may provide a more objective way to measure personality than current methods, the researchers say. Personality is commonly assessed using questionnaires, but these may suffer from bias — people may choose responses that they think are more acceptable for their gender, or they may misunderstand their own traits. Researchers may also be able to identify heartbeat signatures that are characteristic of certain emotional disorders, such as depression, or of cardiovascular diseases, Koelsch said. Such signatures could one day help diagnose these disorders, or identify people at risk for them, he said. Previously, Koelsch and colleagues found a link between certain heart electrical activity patterns and people with “cold” personalities, who tend not to show emotion. In the new study, similar patterns were seen among those with high scores in neuroticism and low scores in positive emotion, like compassion and empathy. Although Koelsch suspects that this type of electrical pattern is not particularly healthy, future research is needed to confirm this. Eventually, Koelsch hopes to be able to see whether certain interventions, such as listening to music or watching films, change emotional states and the heart's electrical activity, he said. 32. What does “signatures” refer to in Paragraph 1? A. The scores of neuroticism tests. B. People’s personality traits. C. The researchers’ written names. D. The wave patterns of your heart. 33. What do researchers think about the common assessment of personality? A. It is more objective and much healthier. B. It is likely to be prejudiced and misunderstood. C. It is based on heart electrical activity measures. D. It is more accurate and more relatable to people. 34. According to the study, what can be learned about “cold” people? A. They tend to score lower in neuroticism tests. B. They tend to suffer from cardiovascular disease. C. They tend to be less compassionate and empathetic. D. They tend to gain higher degrees in positive emotions. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Heartbeats hint your personality traits. B. Heartbeat signatures heal depression. C. Heartbeats change your emotional states. D. Heartbeats indicates the electrical activity. 第二节：(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Improve Math Skills There’s no doubt that math is tough.

It was during a summer between college terms, a time of uncertainty for my son. Benjy wanted to follow in my footsteps as a musician, but he was impatient for success. Talented as he was, often he took up one thing and his passion faded. I ached for him and wished I could say something. Taking a break, Benjy looked around our 15 acres with its stream, its trees, and its rolling grass. “This place is beautiful,” he said. “How did you get it?” I had long expected Benjy to ask about this, so I told him the story of the land. Gloria and I were teaching in a town where I had grown up. We wanted land so we could build a house to welcome our first baby. I noticed a parcel south of town where cattle grazed (吃草). It belonged to a 92-year-old retired banker named Mr. Yule, who owned a lot of land in the area, but was selling none of it. He gave the same speech to everyone who inquired. “I promised the farmers they could use it for their cattle.” Nevertheless, despite being turned down so many times, Gloria and I persisted in visiting him at the bank, where he still spent his days. Then one day, after we claimed our names and intention, Mr. Yule looked up from his paper, pursed his lips and stared. “Gaither. Bill Gaither. Are you any relation to Grover Gaither?” “Yes, sir. He was my granddad.” Mr. Yule put down his paper and removed his glasses. Then he pointed to a couple of chairs, and we sat down. “Grover Gaither was the best worker I ever had on my farm, patient and persistent in everything,” he said. “Showed up early, stayed late, did whatever needed doing and never had to be told.” Mr. Yule squinted, his eyes distant with the memory. “What’d you say you wanted, Gaither?” I told him again. “Let me do some thinking on it, then come back and see me.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para1: We were in his office again within a week. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: I nodded at Benjy, “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 舟山市2024学年第一学期期末检测 高二英语试题卷 考生须知： 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 请考生按规定用笔将所有试题的答案涂、写在答题纸上。 第Ⅰ卷(选择题) 注意事项： 1.答第Ⅰ卷前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名、准考证号填写在答题纸上。 2.选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题纸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。做在试题卷上无效。 第一部分：听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors. But in the 1960s, zookeepers at the Bronx Zoo in New York city found a way to settle this problem and develop the system that we now use in our show. The animals living places are lit with white light at night. Then the animals think the white light is daylight, so of course they go to sleep. During the day, their living places are lit with red light, which makes the animals think it is at night so that they will be active. On the other hand, the red light enables visitors to watch these animals going about the normal activities at night. So just enjoy your visit to the World of Darkness and enjoy watching these amazing animals of the night. And remember, next month is the opening of World Down Under, a new show of Australian animals. Are you looking forward to learning about Australian animals in person? Well, you are lucky, just please come and join us for that event. 第二部分：阅读理解(共两节，满分50分) 第一节:(共15小题:每小题2.5分,满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The hit Chinese video game Black Myth: Wukong has recently sparked a surge in tourism in North China’s Shanxi province.

Late in September 1942, the Japanese military transported over 1,800 British prisoners of war from Hong Kong to Japan by ship. In the waters off Dongji Island, it was torpedoed (被鱼雷击中) by a US submarine. Fishermen from Zhoushan risked their lives to save 384 POWs. Fang was shocked. “How had we in China never heard of the Lisbon Maru? We know of the Titanic, but no one here ever mentioned the Lisbon Maru.” This mystery aroused Fang's curiosity, leading him to begin the search for the ship in 2016. During the journey, Fang learned of 94-year-old Lin Agen, the sole surviving fisherman to have participated in the rescue, and of a 98-year-old British soldier, Dennis Morley, who survived the ordeal. “It felt like a race against time. We had to document their stories before it was too late,” Fang says. Fang launched a search for more survivors and their families. He placed ads in British newspapers like The Sunday Times and The Guardian. “People thought I was crazy — “Who even reads newspapers anymore? they said. But I knew that the elderly, like myself, still do,” Fang says. The campaign was a success, leading to BBC Radio 4 inviting him on a show, which in turn connected him with 380 POW families. On Aug 23, The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru premiered on Dongji Island, where the tragedy occurred. Fang wrote on his WeChat moments:“We finally showed the documentary on Dongji Island, the very place where our ancestors performed their heroic acts 82 years ago. I also received the honorary title of ‘Dongji Island Citizen’ — a privilege I treasure deeply.” 24. Where could you find the passage? A. In an academic journal. B. In a history report. C. In an entertainment magazine. D. In a film review. 25. What does Fang mean by “It felt like a race against time” in paragraph 3? A. He wanted to save every minute to finish the film. B. He wanted to solve the mystery as soon as possible. C. It was already too late for people in China to hear of the ship. D. It was vital to document the story before the witnesses passed away. 26. What can we learn from the passage? A. There was a natural disaster that destroyed the ship. B. Fang received doubt when placing ads in newspapers. C. Fang became a citizen of Dongji Island after the premiere of the film. D. The film was produced on Dongji Island where the tragedy occurred. 27. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. Fang Li: a Determined Director. B. Dongji Island: a Land of Heroes. C. Dongji Island Citizen: an Honorary Privilege. D.

They found tiny living creatures called microbes in a rock estimating to be 2 billion years old! This rock was found almost 50 feet below the surface in a special place called the Bushveld Igneous Complex. This finding is very exciting because it shows the oldest known living microbes found in such extreme conditions, much older than any other microbes found before. The leader of the research team, Yohey Suzuki, said, “We didn't know if 2-billion-year-old rocks were habitable. Until now, the oldest geological layer in which living microorganisms had been found was a 100-million-year-old deposit beneath the ocean floor, so this is a very exciting discovery.” The rock sample was about 1 foot long and came from an area known for having a lot of valuable minerals. This area was formed when hot magma (岩浆) cooled down slowly underground. Because the rocks have stayed mostly the same for billions of years, they created safe little spaces, or cracks, where microbes could live and thrive. To make sure that the microbes they found were really from the old rock and not just something that got mixed in later, the scientists used some special tools to study them. They used three different methods called electron microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy to look closely at the microbes’ DNA and proteins, and were able to show that the microbes were alive and that they had lived in that rock for a very long time. Finding these ancient microbes helps scientists understand how life can exist even in extreme conditions. The researchers hope that by studying these ancient microbes, they can learn more about how life began on Earth and how it evolved over time. They are also curious to see if this can help them find signs of life on other planets, like Mars. 28. Why was the discovery of microbes thrilling? A. Because it proves the 2-billion-year-old rocks were inhabitable. B. Because it discovers the oldest known living microbes in the world. C. Because it reveals the world deep under the Bushveld Igneous Complex. D. Because it uncovers a 100-million-year-old deposit beneath the ocean floor. 29. What made it possible for microbes to survive? A. The extreme weather. B. The melting magma. C. The stable conditions. D. The diverse minerals. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly focus on? A. The microbes they discovered. B. The discoveries they made. C. The research methods they applied. D. The organisms they mixed. 31. What may these ancient microbes help researchers to learn in the future? A. The inhabitability of the Mars. B. The signs of life in severe conditions. C. The DNA and proteins of other species. D. The emergence and evolution of life. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述科学家在南非深地下发现了高龄微生物的惊人发现，该发现对理解生命在极端环境中的生存、地球上生命的起源与进化，以及寻找其他星球上的生命具有重要意义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Scientists have made an amazing discovery deep underground in South Africa. They found tiny living creatures called microbes in a rock estimating to be 2 billion years old! ...This finding is very exciting because it shows the oldest known living microbes found in such extreme conditions, much older than any other microbes found before.(科学家在南非深地下发现了令人惊叹的微生物，这些微生物出现在一块大约20亿年前的岩石中！……这一发现令人兴奋，因为它显示了在极端条件下发现的最古老的已知活微生物，比先前发现的其他微生物要古老得多)”可知，发现的意义在于找到了世界上已知最古老的活微生物。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Because the rocks have stayed mostly the same for billions of years, they created safe little spaces, or cracks, where microbes could live and thrive.(因为这些岩石在数十亿年来几乎保持不变，它们形成了安全的小空间或裂缝，这些地方让微生物可以生存和繁衍)”可知，微生物能生存是因为稳定的条件保障了安全的生存空间。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“To make sure that the microbes they found were really from the old rock and not just something that got mixed in later, the scientists used some special tools to study them. They used three different methods called electron microscopy, fluorescent microscopy, and infrared spectroscopy to look closely at the microbes’ DNA and proteins, and were able to show that the microbes were alive and that they had lived in that rock for a very long time.(为了确保他们发现的微生物确实来自古老的岩石，而不是后来混入的东西，科学家们使用了一些特殊工具研究它们。他们使用了三种不同的方法，即电子显微镜、荧光显微镜和红外光谱法，从而详细观察了微生物的DNA和蛋白质，证明这些微生物是活的，并且它们在该岩石中已经生活了很长时间)可知，第4段主要讨论了科学家通过使用不同的研究方法来验证微生物的真实性。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Finding these ancient microbes helps scientists understand how life can exist even in extreme conditions. The researchers hope that by studying these ancient microbes, they can learn more about how life began on Earth and how it evolved over time.(发现这些古老的微生物帮助科学家了解生命如何在极端条件下存在。研究人员希望通过研究这些古老的微生物，他们可以更多地了解生命在地球上的起源以及随着时间的推移如何进化)可知，这些古老的微生物可以帮助科学家了解生命的起源和进化过程。故选D。 D Aspects of your personality can be revealed in a heartbeat, literally, a new study from Germany suggests. The study identified heartbeat “signatures”— wave patterns in the heart's electrical activity —that were linked with personality traits. People with certain heartbeat signatures scored higher on tests of neuroticism (神经过敏) — meaning these individuals tend to experience more negative emotions, such as anxiety and a depressed mood, and fewer positive emotions, including happiness and cheerfulness. The study involved 425 university students ages 18 to 33. The students completed personality tests, and had their heart electrical activity measured using electrocardiography (心电图). “With this method, we have found something that is perhaps more accurate, and more relatable, than many other measures of personality,” said study researcher Stefan Koelsch, a professor of biological psychology at the Freie University Berlin. The results suggest such heartbeat signatures may provide a more objective way to measure personality than current methods, the researchers say. Personality is commonly assessed using questionnaires, but these may suffer from bias — people may choose responses that they think are more acceptable for their gender, or they may misunderstand their own traits. Researchers may also be able to identify heartbeat signatures that are characteristic of certain emotional disorders, such as depression, or of cardiovascular diseases, Koelsch said. Such signatures could one day help diagnose these disorders, or identify people at risk for them, he said. Previously, Koelsch and colleagues found a link between certain heart electrical activity patterns and people with “cold” personalities, who tend not to show emotion. In the new study, similar patterns were seen among those with high scores in neuroticism and low scores in positive emotion, like compassion and empathy. Although Koelsch suspects that this type of electrical pattern is not particularly healthy, future research is needed to confirm this. Eventually, Koelsch hopes to be able to see whether certain interventions, such as listening to music or watching films, change emotional states and the heart's electrical activity, he said. 32. What does “signatures” refer to in Paragraph 1? A. The scores of neuroticism tests. B. People’s personality traits. C. The researchers’ written names. D. The wave patterns of your heart. 33. What do researchers think about the common assessment of personality? A. It is more objective and much healthier. B. It is likely to be prejudiced and misunderstood. C. It is based on heart electrical activity measures. D. It is more accurate and more relatable to people. 34. According to the study, what can be learned about “cold” people? A. They tend to score lower in neuroticism tests. B. They tend to suffer from cardiovascular disease. C. They tend to be less compassionate and empathetic. D. They tend to gain higher degrees in positive emotions. 35. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Heartbeats hint your personality traits. B. Heartbeat signatures heal depression. C. Heartbeats change your emotional states. D. Heartbeats indicates the electrical activity. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过心电图检测心跳“签名”模式可以揭示个性特征，并可能用于诊断情感障碍或心血管疾病。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The study identified heartbeat “signatures”— wave patterns in the heart’s electrical activity —that were linked with personality traits.(这项研究发现了与个性特征相关的心跳“签名”——即心电活动中的波形模式)”可知，心跳“签名”指的是“心电活动中的波形模式”。故选D。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Personality is commonly assessed using questionnaires, but these may suffer from bias — people may choose responses that they think are more acceptable for their gender, or they may misunderstand their own traits.(个性通常使用问卷进行评估，但这些问卷可能存在偏见——人们可能会选择他们认为更适合自己性别的答案，或者他们可能会误解自己的特征)”可知，研究人员认为常见的性格评估可能存在偏见和误解。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Previously, Koelsch and colleagues found a link between certain heart electrical activity patterns and people with “cold” personalities, who tend not to show emotion. In the new study, similar patterns were seen among those with high scores in neuroticism and low scores in positive emotion, like compassion and empathy.(此前，Koelsch及其同事发现，某些心电活动模式与具有“冷漠”个性的人之间存在联系，这些人往往不表露情感。在新的研究中，类似的模式也在那些神经质得分较高、积极情绪（如同情心和同理心）得分较低的人群中被观察到)”可推知，根据研究，“冷漠”的人往往缺乏同情和同理心。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Aspects of your personality can be revealed in a heartbeat, literally, a new study from Germany suggests. The study identified heartbeat “signatures”— wave patterns in the heart's electrical activity —that were linked with personality traits.(德国的一项新研究表明，你的人格特质可以实实在在地通过心跳展现出来。该研究发现了与人格特质相关的心跳“签名”——即心电活动中的波形模式)”可知，本文通过介绍一项德国的研究，阐述了心跳“签名”与个性特征之间的联系，并探讨了这种方法可用于诊断情感障碍和心血管疾病。故选A。 第二节：(共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Improve Math Skills There’s no doubt that math is tough.

It was during a summer between college terms, a time of uncertainty for my son. Benjy wanted to follow in my footsteps as a musician, but he was impatient for success. Talented as he was, often he took up one thing and his passion faded. I ached for him and wished I could say something. Taking a break, Benjy looked around our 15 acres with its stream, its trees, and its rolling grass. “This place is beautiful,” he said. “How did you get it?” I had long expected Benjy to ask about this, so I told him the story of the land. Gloria and I were teaching in a town where I had grown up. We wanted land so we could build a house to welcome our first baby. I noticed a parcel south of town where cattle grazed (吃草). It belonged to a 92-year-old retired banker named Mr. Yule, who owned a lot of land in the area, but was selling none of it. He gave the same speech to everyone who inquired. “I promised the farmers they could use it for their cattle.” Nevertheless, despite being turned down so many times, Gloria and I persisted in visiting him at the bank, where he still spent his days. Then one day, after we claimed our names and intention, Mr. Yule looked up from his paper, pursed his lips and stared. “Gaither. Bill Gaither. Are you any relation to Grover Gaither?” “Yes, sir. He was my granddad.” Mr. Yule put down his paper and removed his glasses. Then he pointed to a couple of chairs, and we sat down. “Grover Gaither was the best worker I ever had on my farm, patient and persistent in everything,” he said. “Showed up early, stayed late, did whatever needed doing and never had to be told.” Mr. Yule squinted, his eyes distant with the memory. “What’d you say you wanted, Gaither?” I told him again. “Let me do some thinking on it, then come back and see me.” 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Para1: We were in his office again within a week. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: I nodded at Benjy, “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Para 1: We were in his office again within a week. To our surprise, Mr. Yule greeted us warmly and informed us of his decision. “I’ve thought about it, Gaither. I’ll sell you that parcel of land,” he said with a firm voice, handing us the terms of the sale. The price was unexpectedly reasonable, and we were overjoyed. Before we could thank him, Mr. Yule added, “Your granddad taught me that good things come to those who are patient and persistent. I see the same quality in you.” With hard work and determination, we eventually built our home on that land, which marked the beginning of countless cherished memories. Para 2: I nodded at Benjy, “Yes, patience and persistence really matter.” Benjy looked thoughtful as he processed my words. “So, it’s not just about talent, but also about sticking to something and working hard for it?” he asked. I smiled, sensing a breakthrough. “Exactly, son. Success doesn’t come overnight. It’s about staying dedicated even when things get tough.” That afternoon, we kept working silently in the yard, but I could sense a shift in Benjy’s attitude. Later that evening, he played his guitar with renewed passion, as if he had rediscovered his purpose and the value of perseverance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。讲述了父亲与儿子本吉在院子里工作时，本吉对成功感到急躁，询问父亲如何得到他们的15英亩土地。父亲回忆了他和妻子如何坚持拜访92岁的退休银行家尤勒先生，最终凭借祖父格罗弗·盖瑟曾是尤勒农场所信赖的好工人这一关系，获得了购买土地的机会。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“一周内我们又去了他的办公室。”可知，第一段可以描写尤勒先生同意出售土地及原因。 ②由第二段句首内容“我向本吉点了点头，‘是的，耐心和毅力真的很重要。’”可知，第二段可以描写本吉听完后对此事的理解和变化。 2.续写线索：又去办公室——同意——耐心和毅力重要——感悟——变化 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知某人某事：inform sb. of sth./tell sb. sth. ②考虑：think about/consider ③递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./pass sb. sth. 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/amazement ②喜出望外：overjoyed/very delighted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Your granddad taught me that good things come to those who are patient and persistent.

Not too many years ago, zoo visitors were unable to watch the behavior of night animals because these animals were active during the night and generally slept during the day when the zoo was open to visitors.
