B Like almost every set of new parents, Bryan and Elizabeth Shaw started snapping pictures of their son, Noah, practically from the moment he was born. When he was about three months old, Elizabeth noticed something odd. The flash on their digital camera created the typical red dot in the center of Noah’s left eye, but the right eye had a white spot at the center, almost as if the flash was being reflected back at the camera by something. When Elizabeth took Noah to an eye doctor, Noah was diagnosed with retinal (视网膜) cancer with the white reflection as a sign. He endured months of treatment, but it was too late. Noah’s cancer is treatable if caught early. Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed. He went back over every baby picture of Noah he could find and discovered the first white spot in a photo taken when Noah was 12 days old. As time went on, it appeared more frequently. “By the time he was four months old, it was showing up in 25percent of the pictures taken of him per month,” Bryan recalled. Later, Bryan was determined to put his hard-won insights to good use. He created a database that recorded the cancer’s appearance in every photo of Noah. He also collected photos and compiled the data from eight other children with the same cancer. Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜). Called White Eye Detector, it is now available for free on Google Play and in Apple’s Apple Store. “I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.” 4. Why did Bryan and Elizabeth take pictures of Noah? A. To record his growth. B. To celebrate his birth. C. To test their digital camera. D. To collect evidence of eye diseases. 5. Which word can best describe Bryan’s feelings in paragraph 3? A. Terrified. B. Regretful. C. Lonely. D. Exhausted. 6. What can the app do to help? A. It serves as a detector. B. It presents expert advice. C. It saves photos on users’ phones. D. It provides a worldwide database. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. How a boy lost his eye. B. How a new app works. C How a father saved his son. D. How an app came into being. C According to new research, babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be important for language learning. In the study, the researchers set out to explore the origins of human creativity and productive thinking to try to find out how people arrive at completely new thoughts and ideas. They found that babies were able to very quickly learn new words that describe small quantities and combine these with familiar words to fully understand a phrase. Lead researcher, Dr. Barbara Pomiechowska, said: “Human creativity is limitless: it has taken us to the moon and allowed us to cure deadly diseases— but despite its importance, we don’t yet know when and how this impressive ability to combine ideas and invent new things appears. This research shows that we must go right back to the beginning of language learning to solve this puzzle.” In the study, the researchers worked with 60 babies, all around the age of 12 months. They started by teaching the babies two novel words describing quantity: “mize”, to mean “one”, and “padu”, to mean “two”. Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example to identify “padu ducks” from some pictures. By teaching novel words to represent quantities, the researchers were able to test the babies’ ability to combine concepts in real time, rather than simply recall combinations of words that they already knew from previous experience. By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about. According to Dr. Barbara, this ability to combine different concepts is likely to help babies not only to understand the language input, but also to learn about different aspects of the physical and social world. 8. What puzzle did the researchers want to solve? A. The origin of creative thinking. B. The ways to cure deadly diseases. C. The limitations of creative thinking. D. The importance of language acquisition. 9. What were the babies asked to do in the study? A. Create novel words. B. Count numbers in order. C. Point out the number they knew. D. Match objects with what they heard. 10. What did the researchers use in the study? A. Previous data. B. Advanced technology. C. Professional concepts. D. Regular examinations. 11. For Dr. Barbara what is the effect of babies’ ability to combine different concepts? A. Very bad. B. Quite impractical. C. Greatly beneficial. D. Pretty impressive. D Before becoming a therapist (治疗师), I had no idea what it meant to “hold space” for somebody. Now, the term is widespread on social media and serves as the foundation of my work. Holding space is the backbone of supportive relationships and bridges the gap between two people when one person is in hardship. The term “holding space” was first popularized by Heather Plett, a writer in Canada. In a 2015 blog post, Plett described holding space as “the act of being fully present with someone else, without judgment or distraction, so that the person can share their experiences and perspectives. This looks like creating a safe, accepting environment, engaging in attentive listening and offering non-judgmental support.” Research shows that holding space can reduce stress and anxiety, enhance relationships, and improve mental health and well-being. Holding space is no easy task. It requires the patience to be calm, to delay a response even when someone has upset or frustrated you. It also requires radical acceptance, a release of your ideas about who the other person should or can be, and openness and honesty about who they actually are. These skills require us to know ourselves as well. “Holding space is a form of attunement(调和)or the ability to be aware of our own state of mind and body while also tuning in and connecting to another person,” the University of Pennsylvania professor Edward Brodkin said. But “holding space” doesn’t ask us to honor others’ feelings without comment or response. Instead it is a baseline of love and acceptance from which a deeper, more genuine connection can grow. As Brodkin puts it, “It’s a way of investing in your relationship, developing it and enabling it to grow. In order for the relationship to grow, you need to be able to see them for who they really are. If you can’t, then how can you know them with any depth?” 12. Why is Heather Plett’s description mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain the definition of “holding space”. B. To indicate the challenges of “holding space”. C. To reveal historical facts about “holding space”. D. To present the skills required for “holding space”. 13. What does “radical acceptance” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A skill to keep distance with others. B. An emotional reaction to the cruel reality. C. An ability to find opportunity in adversity. D. An effective way to process your emotions. 14. What does Brodkin advise us to do? A. Pick an investment account. B. Show the greatest tolerance to others. C. Build a healthy relationship with others. D. Stop being affected by others’ comments. 15. According to Brodkin, what will happen if we don’t see others truly? A. We can deeply understand them. B. We might worsen the relationship. C. We won’t be able to know them better. D. We may have wrong ideas about them. 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。 While a hobby is anything you do in your leisure time that brings you joy or pleasure, not all hobbies are good for you when it comes to health and happiness.

He kicked chunks of snow with his new Nike shoes. He only pretended to listen to the chat of his friends, Norm and Ed, as they all got on the number 10 bus after school. Frank and his friends sat down at the back of the bus along with several other high school boys, some from other schools. The bus headed west on Blue Mound Road. He still remembered another cold, gray day just a month ago in November when his world crashed down around him, as he read the team list, searching desperately for his name. It wasn’t there. The bus braked suddenly and Frank naturally pressed his Nikes against the floor. “It must have been my size,” he thought, “Five-feet-four. Since I’m new at Marquette High, the coach must have taken one look at me and my shoes and decided I was too small to join the basketball team.” He had been a star athlete in all the sports in primary school. Now, it seemed he was a nothing. The bus stopped at the County Institutions grounds. Frank glanced up at the driver, who had a nickname “Kojak” because of his bald head. An elderly woman hung onto the handrail and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she sank into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Frank saw that she was barefoot. As Kojak got the bus back into traffic, he yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It was below 10 degrees out there.” “I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. She pulled her worn-out coat collar around her neck. Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and laughed. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Kojak scratched his bald head and shouted “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?” “My husband is badly ill in the hospital, so we only have money for food and necessities,” the woman said in a low voice. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Frank hurried to the door and was about to step down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度第一学期期终高中二年级教学质量测试 英语科试题 本试题共8页，满分130分，考试时间120分钟 说明：1. 答题前，考生务必用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用2B铅笔在“考场号”、“座位号”栏内填涂考场号、座位号。 2. 选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把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，再选涂其它答案；答案不能答在试题卷上。 3. 非选择题必须用黑色字迹的签字笔或钢笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡上各题目指定区域内的相应位置上；如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案；不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4. 考生必须保持答题卡整洁，考试结束后，将答题卡交回，试题卷自己保存。 第一部分 阅读（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 If you are planning to start a career in the field of education, science, or culture, then an internship (实习) at UNESCO will be ideal for you.

Bryan Shaw wondered whether there were signs he’d missed.(诺亚的癌症如果发现得早是可以治愈的。布莱恩·肖想知道他是否错过了什么迹象)”可知，布莱恩认为自己错过了早些时候的一些迹象，因此错过了治疗时机。由此，可推理出他很后悔。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Armed with that data, he began to work with colleagues to develop a smartphone app that can scan the photos in the user’s camera roll to search for white eye and can be used as a kind of ophthalmoscope (眼底镜).(有了这些数据，他开始与同事合作开发一款智能手机应用程序，该应用程序可以扫描用户相机胶卷中的照片，以搜索白眼，并可以用作一种眼底镜)”可知，这个app可以扫描相册并且作为眼底镜来发现症状，即该应用程序起到了探测器的作用。故选A项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文尤其最后一段““I just kept telling myself, I really need to do this,” Bryan said. “This disease is tough to detect. Not only could this software save vision, but it can save lives.”(“我一直告诉自己，我真的需要这样做，”布莱恩说。“这种疾病很难发现。这个软件不仅可以拯救视力，还可以拯救生命。”)”可知，本文主要讲述了由于未能及时发现迹象，错失儿子的治疗时机后，父亲积极研发app帮助他人的大爱故事。故选D项。 C According to new research, babies are not only capable of creative thinking well before starting to speak, but this sort of thinking may be important for language learning.

This research shows that we must go right back to the beginning of language learning to solve this puzzle.”(该研究的首席研究员Barbara Pomiechowska博士表示：“人类的创造力是无穷无尽的：它让我们登上月球，还使我们能够治愈致命疾病。然而，尽管创造力如此重要，我们却尚未知晓这种将想法进行组合并创造新事物的惊人能力是何时以及如何出现的。这项研究表明，我们必须追溯到语言学习的起始阶段，才能解开这个谜题。”)”可知，研究人员想要解决的谜题是人类这种将想法进行组合并创造新事物的能力，即创造性思维是何时以及如何出现的，也就是创造性思维的起源问题。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“Then the babies were asked to combine these new number words with different object names, for example to identify “padu ducks” from some pictures.(随后，研究人员要求婴儿将这些新的数字单词与不同的物体名称相结合，例如从一些图片中识别出“padu 鸭子”。)”可知，婴儿被要求将新学的数字单词与不同物体名称相结合，从图片中识别出如“两只鸭子”，也就是将听到的内容与物体匹配。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“By using eye-tracking technology to monitor where the babies look, the researchers were able to show that the babies could successfully combine the two concepts to understand what they were being asked about.(研究人员利用眼动追踪技术来监测婴儿的视线方向，结果表明婴儿能够成功地将这两个概念结合起来，理解他们所被询问的内容。)”可知，研究人员在研究中使用了眼动追踪技术来监测婴儿的视线，眼动追踪技术属于先进的技术手段。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“According to Dr. Barbara, this ability to combine different concepts is likely to help babies not only to understand the language input, but also to learn about different aspects of the physical and social world.(据Barbara博士称，这种组合不同概念的能力不仅可能帮助婴儿理解输入的语言信息，还有助于他们了解物质世界和社会世界的不同方面。)”可知，Barbara博士认为婴儿组合不同概念的能力不仅有助于他们理解输入的语言，还有助于他们了解物质世界和社会世界的不同方面，这说明这种能力对婴儿是非常有益的。故选C。 D Before becoming a therapist (治疗师), I had no idea what it meant to “hold space” for somebody. Now, the term is widespread on social media and serves as the foundation of my work. Holding space is the backbone of supportive relationships and bridges the gap between two people when one person is in hardship. The term “holding space” was first popularized by Heather Plett, a writer in Canada. In a 2015 blog post, Plett described holding space as “the act of being fully present with someone else, without judgment or distraction, so that the person can share their experiences and perspectives. This looks like creating a safe, accepting environment, engaging in attentive listening and offering non-judgmental support.” Research shows that holding space can reduce stress and anxiety, enhance relationships, and improve mental health and well-being. Holding space is no easy task. It requires the patience to be calm, to delay a response even when someone has upset or frustrated you. It also requires radical acceptance, a release of your ideas about who the other person should or can be, and openness and honesty about who they actually are. These skills require us to know ourselves as well. “Holding space is a form of attunement(调和)or the ability to be aware of our own state of mind and body while also tuning in and connecting to another person” the University of Pennsylvania professor Edward Brodkin said. But “holding space” doesn’t ask us to honor others’ feelings without comment or response. Instead it is a baseline of love and acceptance from which a deeper, more genuine connection can grow. As Brodkin puts it, “It’s a way of investing in your relationship, developing it and enabling it to grow. In order for the relationship to grow, you need to be able to see them for who they really are. If you can’t, then how can you know them with any depth?” 12. Why is Heather Plett’s description mentioned in paragraph 2? A. To explain the definition of “holding space”. B. To indicate the challenges of “holding space”. C. To reveal historical facts about “holding space”. D. To present the skills required for “holding space”. 13. What does “radical acceptance” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A skill to keep distance with others. B. An emotional reaction to the cruel reality. C. An ability to find opportunity in adversity. D. An effective way to process your emotions. 14. What does Brodkin advise us to do? A. Pick an investment account. B. Show the greatest tolerance to others. C. Build a healthy relationship with others. D. Stop being affected by others’ comments. 15. According to Brodkin, what will happen if we don’t see others truly? A. We can deeply understand them. B. We might worsen the relationship. C. We won’t be able to know them better. D. We may have wrong ideas about them. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要解释了“holding space”这一概念，包括其起源、意义、实践中的挑战以及它对于人际关系的重要性。 12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The term “holding space” was first popularized by Heather Plett, a writer in Canada. In a 2015 blog post, Plett described holding space as “the act of being fully present with someone else, without judgment or distraction, so that the person can share their experiences and perspectives. This looks like creating a safe, accepting environment, engaging in attentive listening and offering non-judgmental support.”(“留出空间”这一说法最初由加拿大作家Heather Plett推广开来。在2015年的一篇博客文章中，Plett将“留出空间”描述为“全身心陪伴他人，不评判、不分心，让对方能够分享自己的经历和观点。这表现为营造一个安全、包容的环境，专注倾听并给予无评判的支持。”)”可知，文章提到Heather Plett的描述是为了解释“holding space”的定义。故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“It also requires radical acceptance, a release of your ideas about who the other person should or can be, and openness and honesty about who they actually are.(它还需要radical acceptance，即释放你对另一个人应该或可以成为谁的想法，以及对他们实际上是谁的开放和坦诚)”可推知，radical acceptance指的是一种对他人真实身份的接纳，不带有预设或偏见，接受他人的真实状态，这更像是一种处理我们对他人的情绪和反应的有效方式，以便我们能更好地为他们留出空间。与D项“An effective way to process your emotions.(处理情绪的有效方法)”含义一致。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段““Holding space is a form of attunement(调和)or the ability to be aware of our own state of mind and body while also tuning in and connecting to another person,” the University of Pennsylvania professor Edward Brodkin said. But “holding space” doesn’t ask us to honor others’ feelings without comment or response. Instead it is a baseline of love and acceptance from which a deeper, more genuine connection can grow.(宾夕法尼亚大学教授Edward Brodkin说：“留出空间是一种协调能力，即在关注自身身心状态的同时，感知并与他人建立联系。” 但“留出空间”并非要求我们毫无评论或回应地尊重他人的感受。相反，它是一种爱与接纳的底线，在此基础上，能够发展出更深层次、更真诚的联系。)”可知，Brodkin认为“holding space”是一种对人际关系的投入，能够促进关系发展并使其成长，也就是建议我们与他人建立健康的关系。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“As Brodkin puts it, “It’s a way of investing in your relationship, developing it and enabling it to grow. In order for the relationship to grow, you need to be able to see them for who they really are. If you can’t, then how can you know them with any depth?”(正如Brodkin所说：“这是一种对人际关系的投入方式，促进关系发展并使其能够成长。为了让关系得以成长，你需要能够看清对方真实的样子。如果你做不到，又怎能深入了解他们呢？”)”可知，Brodkin认为如果我们不能看清他人真实的样子，就无法深入了解他们。故选C。 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。 While a hobby is anything you do in your leisure time that brings you joy or pleasure, not all hobbies are good for you when it comes to health and happiness. To choose how you spend your time, ask yourself how you feel when you finish doing a particular activity. Many hobbies enhance your sense of satisfaction. ___16___ I know many people’s hobby is just scrolling through social media, but the reality is that they feel lost or even worse afterward. ___17___ When you play video and mobile games, you just sit still or lie down without any movement, which increases your risk of many health issues. You need to be aware of that and strive for balance. So how do you choose a hobby? Just look at it through the lens of the seven pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, movement, emotional mastery, thoughts, relationships and purpose. We need them all for an ideal lifestyle. ___18___ What hobbies are right for you will vary greatly based on your personality, interests, abilities and resources, but most people have a gut instinct of likes and dislikes. ___19___ For instance, if you’d like to add more movement to your life, improve your memory and build friendships, you might enjoy a group exercise hobby like Zumba, paddleboard, yoga or “star tour” night hikes. Your options are limited only by your imagination. ___20___ The answer is individual. Some people focus all their energies on the one thing they are super passionate about, while others enjoy a variety of activities. Regardless, it’s good to try something new every once in a while, as the novelty is good for refreshing boring life. A. Is there a right number of hobbies to have? B. How do hobbies benefit our body, brain and spirit? C. However, some only add to your emptiness and tiredness. D. The other downside of electronic hobbies is little or no exercising. E. A good way to pick a hobby is by considering what you want to improve. F. Luckily, nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits. G. Doing a hobby that engages you in these aspects will make you happy and healthy. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. E 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述了如何选择合适的爱好。 【16题详解】 根据前文提到的“Many hobbies enhance your sense of satisfaction(许多爱好能提高你的满足感)”以及后文提到的“I know many people’s hobby is just scrolling through social media, but the reality is that they feel lost or even worse afterward. (我知道很多人的爱好只是刷社交媒体，但现实是，他们会感到迷失，甚至更糟。)”可知，这里提到很多爱好能带来满足感，下文说到爱好刷社交媒体会令人感到迷失，甚至更糟，前后形成对比，C选项“然而，有些只会增加你的空虚和疲劳。”符合语境。故选C。 【17题详解】 根据后文提到“When you play video and mobile games, you just sit still or lie down without any movement, which increases your risk of many health issues.(当你玩视频和手机游戏时，你只是坐着或躺着不动，这增加了你患许多健康问题的风险。)”可知，此处讲述爱好电子产品会带来健康危险，讲到了这种爱好的不利之处，D选项“电子爱好的另一个缺点是很少或根本不锻炼。”符合语境。故选D。 【18题详解】 根据前文提到的“Just look at it through the lens of the seven pillars of health: sleep, nutrition, movement, emotional mastery, thoughts, relationships and purpose. We need them all for an ideal lifestyle.(只是从健康的七大支柱来看它：睡眠、营养、运动、情绪控制、思想、人际关系和目标。理想的生活方式需要它们。)”可知，此处讲述选择爱好要从健康和理想的生活方式等方面来考虑，因此推断G选项“有一个能让你在这些方面投入的爱好会让你快乐和健康。”符合语境，these aspects指代上文提到的健康的各个方面，故选G。 【19题详解】 根据前文提到的“What hobbies are right for you will vary greatly based on your personality, interests, abilities and resources, but most people have a gut instinct of likes and dislikes.(什么样的爱好适合你，取决于你的个性、兴趣、能力和资源，但大多数人都有一种本能的好恶。)”可知，爱好的选择取决于一个人的个性，兴趣等，因此可知，此处将会是选择爱好的方式，E选项“选择爱好的一个好方法是考虑你想要提高什么。”符合语境。故选E。 【20题详解】 根据后文提到的“The answer is individual. Some people focus all their energies on the one thing they are super passionate about, while others enjoy a variety of activities. (答案因人而异。有些人把所有的精力都集中在一件他们非常热爱的事情上，而另一些人则喜欢各种各样的活动。)”可知，本段讲述选择什么样的爱好因人而异，每个人的爱好各不相同，有的坚持一个爱好，有的有许多爱好，因推断A选项“用多少爱好有合适的数量吗？”符合语境，引出下文对此问题的解释。故选A。 第二部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I play tennis a lot.

He kicked chunks of snow with his new Nike shoes. He only pretended to listen to the chat of his friends, Norm and Ed, as they all got on the number 10 bus after school. Frank and his friends sat down at the back of the bus along with several other high school boys, some from other schools. The bus headed west on Blue Mound Road. He still remembered another cold, gray day just a month ago in November when his world crashed down around him, as he read the team list, searching desperately for his name. It wasn’t there. The bus braked suddenly, and Frank naturally pressed his Nikes against the floor. “It must have been my size,” he thought, “Five-feet-four. Since I’m new at Marquette High, the coach must have taken one look at me and my shoes and decided I was too small to join the basketball team.” He had been a star athlete in all the sports in primary school. Now, it seemed he was a nothing. The bus stopped at the County Institutions grounds. Frank glanced up at the driver, who had a nickname “Kojak” because of his bald head. An elderly woman hung onto the handrail and slowly pulled herself onto the bus. As she sank into the seat behind the bus driver, her feet kicked up, and Frank saw that she was barefoot. As Kojak got the bus back into traffic, he yelled over his shoulder, “Where are your shoes, lady? It was below 10 degrees out there.” “I can’t afford shoes,” the woman answered. She pulled her worn-out coat collar around her neck. Some of the boys at the back exchanged glances and laughed. “I got on the bus just to get my feet warm,” the woman continued. “If you don’t mind, I’ll just ride around with you for a bit.” Kojak scratched his bald head and shouted, “Now just tell me how come you can’t afford shoes?” “My husband is badly ill in the hospital, so we only have money for food and necessities,” the woman said in a low voice. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then Frank hurried to the door and was about to step down. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Frank looked down at his new Nike basketball shoes. His feet were warm and cosy. When he glanced at the woman who was dressed in rags, a sense of sorrow swept over him. With a complicated mood, he slipped the shoes off under his seat. When the bus stopped, Frank waited until everyone else had got off. Then he reached under his seat and picked up his basketball shoes. He walked quickly up to the woman and handed them to her, looking down and saying, “Here, lady, you need these more than I do.” Then Frank hurried to the door and was about to step down. He heard the woman exclaim, “Look, they fit me just perfectly!” Then he heard Kojak said, “I’ve never seen anything like that in the 20 years I’ve been driving this bus.” The woman was crying. “Thank you, young man,” she said. He smiled at the woman. “It’s no big deal.” He hurried off after Norm and Ed. It seemed to him that the grayness had lifted. On the way home, hardly could he feel the cold beneath his feet at all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Frank Daily从个人失落到帮助他人的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Frank 低头看了看他的新耐克篮球鞋。”可知，第一段可描写Frank对自身处境的反思以及他看到老妇人赤脚时内心的触动。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后 Frank 匆忙走到门口，正准备下车。”可知，第二段可描写Frank做出决定，将新鞋送给老妇人，并且这一举动带来的影响和变化。 2.续写线索：Frank的失落——发现老妇人赤脚——内心触动——决定送鞋——老妇人的感激——Frank内心的转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看了一眼：glance at/peek at ②脱下鞋子：slip the shoes off/take the shoes off ③对……微笑：smile at/beam at 情绪类 ①一种悲伤的感觉：a sense of sorrow/a feeling of sadness ②复杂的心情：a complicated mood/a mixed emotion 【点睛】【高分句型1】When he glanced at the woman who was dressed in rags, a sense of sorrow swept over him. （运用了when引导时间状语从句和who引导定语从句） 【高分句型2】He walked quickly up to the woman and handed them to her, looking down and saying, “Here, lady, you need these more than I do.” （运用的现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型3】On the way home, hardly could he feel the cold beneath his feet at all. （运用了否定词hardly位于句首的部分倒装结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
