Here are some of the places that almost every person wants to see in their life. Santorini This is one of the most amazing places in the world. It is said to have been destroyed in the 16th century. It has been rebuilt and its beauty increases with every passing day. There are a lot of islands in Greece and time permitting, sunbathing on any of these would be an unforgettable experience. The Capilano Suspension Bridge An amazing place to visit in the world is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This bridge is located in Vancouver in British Columbia, a province of Canada. It’s almost 140 meters long and 70 meters above the river. Surrounded by lush rainforest, it offers visitors breathtaking views of the canyon and the river below. The bridge sways (摇晃) gently in the wind, adding an exciting element to the experience. Rome Another beautiful place to visit is the ancient city of Rome in Italy. It is also known as the center of Western civilization. This city was founded in 753 BC. The Colosseum, one of the world’s most historical sites, is also in Rome. The Taj Mahal It is also a good choice to visit the Taj Mahal in India. It is called the monument (纪念碑) of love and built to show Mughal Emperor Shah Jeha’s love for his wife. It is located on the south bank of the Yamuna River. Its ivory-white (象牙白) color is also attractive and it is one of the miracles of the Mughal art of building. 1. What can visitors do in Santorini? A. Enjoy themselves in the sun. B. Witness a symbol of love. C. Climb a famous bridge. D. Pay a visit to the Colosseum. 2. What do we know about the Taj Mahal from the text? A. Its roof is made of ivory. B. It is a Mughal-style building. C. It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah as his grave. D. It is located on the north bank of the Yamuna River. 3. What do these tourist destinations have in common? A. They are all natural wonders. B. They are the most visited places in the world. C. They are all known for their ancient buildings. D. They each have unique features that attract tourists. B People usually wash their produce before eating to remove some remains from pesticides (农药). But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Now 14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge for developing an AI-based handheld tool that is very accurate in finding pesticide residues (残留物). The ninth grader at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology in Snellville has received the title “America’s Top Young Scientist”, according to a press release from the 3M Company. Now in its 17th year, the challenge supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real-world solutions. When the finalists were chosen, they were paired with a 3M scientist who guided them over the summer to help transform their ideas from just concepts into models. Sirish spent four months competing against nine other finalists and secured his win at the final challenge events at 3M’s global headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother wash vegetables and fruits every day and caution him to always do so. He wondered whether washing actually made a difference. Since 70 percent of produce in the US has pestioide residues that are linked to illnesses like cancer and Alzheimer’s, it’s very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe to eat. That’s what PestiSCAND is designed to do. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the wavelengths that bounce back. Sirish has tested the device on more than 12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and an AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish aims at making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. But he still believes people should wash their produce anyway. He plans to use the $25000 prize from the competition to help fund his educational goal of attending MIT. 4. Why was Sirish awarded “America’s Top Young Scientist”? A. He developed a new kind of pesticide. B. He invented a smart pesticide detector. C. He improved an AI-based handheld tool. D. He found a way to remove pesticide residues. 5. What inspired Sirish to make his achievement? A. His interest in the application of AI technology. B. His teacher’s guidance on scientific research. C. His family’s daily routine. D. His ambition to win a competition. 6. Which of the following can best describe Sirish? A. Curious and creative. B. Clever and courageous. C. Confident and knowledgeable. D. Devoted and responsible. 7. What does the text want to tell us? A Actions speak louder than words. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Achievements are not about age. D. Many hands make light work. C This week Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers. Adolescent (青少年的) mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame. But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have. Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression, anxiety and loneliness have skyrocketed in the U. S. and elsewhere since around the time that smartphones and social media became ever-present. Yet the role social media plays has been widely debated. Some researchers have sounded the alarm, arguing that social media provides the most credible explanation for problems such as enhanced teen loneliness. Other researchers have been sitting on the fence. In 2019, Jeff Hanceck, founding director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University, and his colleagues completed an analysis of 226 scientific papers dating back to 2006. They concluded that social media was associated with not only a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness. Some recent studies have attempted to figure out the link between social media and mental health, asking, for instance, whether social media use is causing depression or whether people are being more active on social media because they’re depressed. In an attempt to present evidence, Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Alexey Makarin and two of his colleagues conducted mental health surveys taken by college students across the country. Their study, published in 2022, found that rocketing rates of depression and anxiety followed Facebook’s arrival. Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons: students viewed the online images of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives, party more often, have more friends and look better.” “In total, there’s an increasingly clear picture that, indeed, social media has a negative impact on mental health,” Makarin says. “We are not saying that social media can explain 100 percent of the rise of mental health issues... But it could potentially explain a sizeable portion.” 8. What can be learnt about social media? A. It plays an important role in treating mental illness. B. It is the leading cause of adolescent depression. C. It has negative influence on adolescent mental health. D. Its impact on mental health is still unknown. 9. What is Jeff Hancock’s attitude towards social media? A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring. 10. How does social media influence teenagers according to Makarin? A. By threatening their academic performance. B. By causing them to be addicted to online images. C. By making them feel worse-off than others. D. By reminding them to balance their life. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To warn people of the harm of using social media frequently. B. To expose the link between social media and mental health. C. To analyze the causes of worsening adolescent mental health. D. To introduce an effective approach to handling mental illness. D The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries. These colorful displays in the night sky are primarily visible in the polar regions, particularly in countries like Norway, Canada, and Iceland. The lights are caused by solar particles (粒子) interacting with the Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field and atmosphere. When charged particles from the sun crash with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, they release energy in the form of light. This process is known as ionization. The colors of the Aurora Borealis can vary greatly. Green is the most common color, produced when solar particles interact with O₂ at lower altitudes (海拔). Red auroras are rarer and occur when particles interact with O₂ at much higher altitudes. Blue and purple auroras are even rarer and are caused by interactions with N2. Scientists have been studying the Aurora Borealis for many years to understand its causes and effects. One interesting finding is that the auroras can affect radio communications and power supply. During strong solar storms, the increased activity of solar particles can cause disruptions in these systems. This is because the electromagnetic fields created by the auroras can disturb the signals used by these technologies. Despite the potential for disturbance, the beauty of the Aurora Borealis continues to attract tourists from around the world. Many people travel to remote locations in the polar regions to witness this natural wonder. Some companies even offer special tours and packages for aurora viewing. These tours often include activities like dog sledding and snowmobiling. The experience of seeing the Northern Lights is often described as magical and unforgettable. However, predicting the exact timing and location of the Aurora Borealis remains a challenge. Scientists use data from satellites and ground-based observatories to monitor solar activity and make predictions. But the auroras are still somewhat unpredictable, which adds to their mystery and allure. 12. What causes the different colors of the Aurora Borealis? A. The strength of solar storms. B. The different speeds of solar particles. C The substances that react and their locations. D. The changes in the Earth’s magnetic field strength. 13. What can be inferred about the Aurora Borealis? A. It promotes the development of modern technology. B. It brings challenges to the technological systems. C. It has a significant impact on climate change. D. It improves the accuracy of satellite signals. 14. What does the underlined word “allure” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Threat. B. Frequency. C. Complexity. D. Attraction. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Impact of the Northern Lights B. The Science and Wonder of the Northern Lights C. The Reasons for People’s Passion for the Aurora Borealis D. The Challenges and Methods to Predict the Aurora Borealis 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When was the last time you had to memorize a phone number?

From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up. The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill. The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语 考生注意： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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2分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。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?

But are your fruits and vegetables really clean enough to eat? Now 14-year-old Sirish Subash from Georgia has won the 2024 3M Young Scientist Challenge for developing an AI-based handheld tool that is very accurate in finding pesticide residues (残留物). The ninth grader at the Gwinnett School of Mathematics, Science, and Technology in Snellville has received the title “America’s Top Young Scientist”, according to a press release from the 3M Company. Now in its 17th year, the challenge supports middle school students to think creatively and apply STEM principles to discover real-world solutions. When the finalists were chosen, they were paired with a 3M scientist who guided them over the summer to help transform their ideas from just concepts into models. Sirish spent four months competing against nine other finalists and secured his win at the final challenge events at 3M’s global headquarters in St. Paul, Minnesota. Sirish’s journey to winning the award came from watching his mother wash vegetables and fruits every day and caution him to always do so. He wondered whether washing actually made a difference. Since 70 percent of produce in the US has pestioide residues that are linked to illnesses like cancer and Alzheimer’s, it’s very important to know if the fruits and vegetables are safe to eat. That’s what PestiSCAND is designed to do. The device works by shining light on the surface of the produce and measuring the wavelengths that bounce back. Sirish has tested the device on more than 12,000 food samples including strawberries, apples, and tomatoes. PestiSCAND uses a sensor and an AI-based processor to achieve an accuracy of over 85 percent. Sirish aims at making this technology widely accessible so that consumers will be able to make safe food choices. But he still believes people should wash their produce anyway. He plans to use the $25,000 prize from the competition to help fund his educational goal of attending MIT. 4. Why was Sirish awarded “America’s Top Young Scientist”? A. He developed a new kind of pesticide. B. He invented a smart pesticide detector. C. He improved an AI-based handheld tool. D. He found a way to remove pesticide residues. 5. What inspired Sirish to make his achievement? A. His interest in the application of AI technology. B. His teacher’s guidance on scientific research. C. His family’s daily routine. D. His ambition to win a competition. 6. Which of the following can best describe Sirish? A. Curious and creative. B. Clever and courageous. C. Confident and knowledgeable. D. Devoted and responsible. 7. What does the text want to tell us? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A good beginning is half done. C. Achievements are not about age. D. Many hands make light work. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7.

Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers. Adolescent (青少年的) mental health has been declining for years, and an increasing amount of research suggests that social media platforms could be partially to blame. But experts continue to debate just how much impact they have. Numerous studies demonstrate that adolescent rates of depression, anxiety and loneliness have skyrocketed in the U. S. and elsewhere since around the time that smartphones and social media became ever-present. Yet the role social media plays has been widely debated. Some researchers have sounded the alarm, arguing that social media provides the most credible explanation for problems such as enhanced teen loneliness. Other researchers have been sitting on the fence. In 2019, Jeff Hanceck, founding director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University, and his colleagues completed an analysis of 226 scientific papers dating back to 2006. They concluded that social media was associated with not only a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness. Some recent studies have attempted to figure out the link between social media and mental health, asking, for instance, whether social media use is causing depression or whether people are being more active on social media because they’re depressed. In an attempt to present evidence, Massachusetts Institute of Technology economist Alexey Makarin and two of his colleagues conducted mental health surveys taken by college students across the country. Their study, published in 2022, found that rocketing rates of depression and anxiety followed Facebook’s arrival. Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons: students viewed the online images of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives, party more often, have more friends and look better.” “In total, there’s an increasingly clear picture that, indeed, social media has a negative impact on mental health,” Makarin says. “We are not saying that social media can explain 100 percent of the rise of mental health issues... But it could potentially explain a sizeable portion.” 8. What can be learnt about social media? A. It plays an important role in treating mental illness. B. It is the leading cause of adolescent depression. C. It has negative influence on adolescent mental health. D. Its impact on mental health is still unknown. 9. What is Jeff Hancock’s attitude towards social media? A. Objective. B. Critical. C. Favorable. D. Uncaring. 10. How does social media influence teenagers according to Makarin? A. By threatening their academic performance. B By causing them to be addicted to online images. C. By making them feel worse-off than others. D. By reminding them to balance their life. 11. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To warn people of the harm of using social media frequently. B. To expose the link between social media and mental health. C. To analyze the causes of worsening adolescent mental health. D. To introduce an effective approach to handling mental illness. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了美国卫生局局长Vivek H. Murthy关于社交媒体对儿童和青少年心理健康风险的警告，并介绍了相关研究、争议以及专家观点等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“This week Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy released a warning about the risks that social media presents to the mental health of children and teenagers.(本周，美国卫生局局长Vivek H. Murthy发布了一则关于社交媒体对儿童和青少年心理健康构成风险的警告。)”以及最后一段““In total, there’s an increasingly clear picture that, indeed, social media has a negative impact on mental health,” Makarin says.(Makarin说：“总体而言，有越来越清晰的迹象表明，社交媒体确实对心理健康产生了负面影响。”)”可知，社交媒体对青少年心理健康有负面影响。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Other researchers have been sitting on the fence. In 2019, Jeff Hanceck, founding director of the Social Media Lab at Stanford University, and his colleagues completed an analysis of 226 scientific papers dating back to 2006. They concluded that social media was associated with not only a slight increase in depression and anxiety but also improvements in feelings of belonging and connectedness.(而另一些研究人员则持中立态度。2019年，斯坦福大学社交媒体实验室的创始主任Jeff Hanceck及其同事对226篇可追溯到 2006年的科学论文进行了分析。他们得出的结论是，社交媒体不仅与抑郁症和焦虑症的轻微增加有关，还能提升归属感和联系感。)”可知，Jeff Hanceck既指出了社交媒体会使抑郁症和焦虑症有轻微增加，又提到它能提升归属感和联系感，全面地看到了社交媒体的利弊，这种态度是客观的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Makarin says much of the harm they documented came from social comparisons: students viewed the online images of their peers and believed them to “have nicer lives, party more often, have more friends and look better.”(Makarin表示，他们记录的大部分危害来自于社交比较：学生们看到同龄人在网上发布的照片，就认为他们“生活更美好、聚会更频繁、朋友更多、外表更出众”。)”可知，Makarin认为社交媒体带来的很多危害来自社交比较，学生看到同龄人在网上的照片，会觉得他们生活更美好、聚会更频繁、朋友更多、外表更出众，从而会觉得自己不如别人，感觉更糟糕。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章内容可知，文章开篇指出卫生局局长发布社交媒体对儿童和青少年心理健康构成风险的警告，接着阐述了青少年心理健康下降的情况以及社交媒体可能负有部分责任，然后说明专家对社交媒体影响程度存在争论，还列举了不同研究来探究社交媒体与心理健康的联系，所以文章的主要目的是揭示社交媒体与心理健康之间的联系。故选B。 D The Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, is a natural phenomenon that has fascinated humans for centuries. These colorful displays in the night sky are primarily visible in the polar regions, particularly in countries like Norway, Canada, and Iceland. The lights are caused by solar particles (粒子) interacting with the Earth’s magnetic (磁的) field and atmosphere. When charged particles from the sun crash with gases in the Earth’s atmosphere, they release energy in the form of light. This process is known as ionization. The colors of the Aurora Borealis can vary greatly. Green is the most common color, produced when solar particles interact with O₂ at lower altitudes (海拔). Red auroras are rarer and occur when particles interact with O₂ at much higher altitudes. Blue and purple auroras are even rarer and are caused by interactions with N2. Scientists have been studying the Aurora Borealis for many years to understand its causes and effects. One interesting finding is that the auroras can affect radio communications and power supply. During strong solar storms, the increased activity of solar particles can cause disruptions in these systems. This is because the electromagnetic fields created by the auroras can disturb the signals used by these technologies. Despite the potential for disturbance, the beauty of the Aurora Borealis continues to attract tourists from around the world. Many people travel to remote locations in the polar regions to witness this natural wonder. Some companies even offer special tours and packages for aurora viewing. These tours often include activities like dog sledding and snowmobiling. The experience of seeing the Northern Lights is often described as magical and unforgettable. However, predicting the exact timing and location of the Aurora Borealis remains a challenge. Scientists use data from satellites and ground-based observatories to monitor solar activity and make predictions. But the auroras are still somewhat unpredictable, which adds to their mystery and allure. 12. What causes the different colors of the Aurora Borealis? A. The strength of solar storms. B. The different speeds of solar particles. C. The substances that react and their locations. D. The changes in the Earth’s magnetic field strength. 13. What can be inferred about the Aurora Borealis? A. It promotes the development of modern technology. B. It brings challenges to the technological systems. C. It has a significant impact on climate change. D. It improves the accuracy of satellite signals. 14. What does the underlined word “allure” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Threat. B. Frequency. C. Complexity. D. Attraction. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Impact of the Northern Lights B. The Science and Wonder of the Northern Lights C. The Reasons for People’s Passion for the Aurora Borealis D. The Challenges and Methods to Predict the Aurora Borealis 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了北极光的成因、颜色变化的原因、对现代技术的影响，以及其吸引游客的魅力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Green is the most common color, produced when solar particles interact with O₂ at lower altitudes (海拔). Red auroras are rarer and occur when particles interact with O₂ at much higher altitudes. Blue and purple auroras are even rarer and are caused by interactions with N₂.(绿色是极光中最常见的颜色，当太阳粒子与较低海拔的氧气相互作用时产生。红色极光较为罕见，发生在太阳粒子与较高海拔的氧气相互作用时。蓝色和紫色极光更为少见，是由太阳粒子与氮气相互作用引起的)”可知，极光的不同颜色是由与太阳粒子发生反应的物质及其所在位置决定的。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“One interesting finding is that the auroras can affect radio communications and power supply. During strong solar storms, the increased activity of solar particles can cause disruptions in these systems. This is because the electromagnetic fields created by the auroras can disturb the signals used by these technologies.(一个有趣的发现是，极光会影响无线电通信和电力供应。在强烈的太阳风暴期间，太阳粒子活动的增强可能会导致这些系统出现中断。这是因为极光产生的电磁场会干扰这些技术所使用的信号)”可知，极光会影响无线电通信和电力供应，在强烈的太阳风暴期间，太阳粒子活动增加会导致这些系统出现故障，这说明极光给技术系统带来了挑战。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段中“Despite the potential for disturbance, the beauty of the Aurora Borealis continues to attract tourists from around the world.(尽管可能存在干扰，北极光的美丽依然继续吸引着来自世界各地的游客)” 以及划线词所在句子“But the auroras are still somewhat unpredictable, which adds to their mystery and allure.(但是，极光仍然在一定程度上难以预测，这增加了它们的神秘感和allure)”可知，尽管极光有造成干扰的可能性且难以预测，但它的美丽仍吸引着世界各地的游客，这种不可预测性增加了它的神秘和吸引力。所以“allure”意思是“吸引力”，与“attraction”同义。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章前两段介绍了极光的形成原因和不同颜色的成因，这属于极光的科学知识；后面几段提到极光对技术系统的影响、吸引游客以及难以预测等内容，体现了极光的奇妙之处。所以文章主要围绕极光的科学原理和奇妙之处展开。B选项“The Science and Wonder of the Northern Lights(北极光的科学与奇妙)”能准确概括文章内容，是文章的最佳标题。故选B。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 When was the last time you had to memorize a phone number?

From high-end modeling shoots to heartwarming sibling photos and lovely birth announcements, we cover it all. Our studio is always busy, and as is stated on our website, we don’t accept walk-ins. With bookings scheduled six months in advance, it’s non-stop. One evening, just ten minutes before closing, a mother walked in with a young girl, around six or seven years old, following her. I felt quite annoyed — I really needed to close up. The mother said, “Hello. I know you’re closing soon, but I have a special favor to ask.” At that moment, the little girl peeked out from behind her mother’s legs, her eyes scanning nervously around the room. She glanced at the beautiful portraits of healthy, smiling children hanging on the walls, and the expression on her face was a mix of longing and self-consciousness. She seemed to know she didn’t look like the other kids in the photos. Under her thick winter coat and hat, she looked weak, with dark circles under her eyes. She had no hair, and a tube was taped to her cheek, feeding into her nose. It was clear she was very ill. The mother continued, her voice shaking, “My daughter saw one of your photos at the hospital. She used to be such a beautiful and lovely girl as those in your photos hanging on the walls, but she doesn’t look her best right now... Sir, I know you’re booked up, and the next appointment is months away, but I don’t know...” She started to cry. I realized that waiting for months was not a bet for this little girl. Seeing she held her mother’s hand tightly, I felt my heart soften. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I took a deep breath and smiled gently at the little girl, making up my mind to do something. I told the mother not to worry and that I’d take pictures for her daughter right away. I quickly adjusted the lighting in the studio and chose a soft-colored backdrop. I fetched a beautiful princess-style dress and helped the little girl put it on. As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess. Slowly, her nervousness faded away, and she began to pose with confidence, her eyes shining with a newfound light. The mother watched with a grateful smile on her face. The little girl looked at the photos with a bright smile. “I’m so pretty!” she exclaimed happily. The mother came over, tears of joy in her eyes. She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter. A few months later, I received a letter from the mother. It said the girl’s condition had improved significantly. In the end, I printed the best photo and sent it to them, hoping it would always bring the little girl strength and hope. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了一位摄影工作室老板在忙碌中为一位身患重病的小女孩拍摄照片的故事。他用爱心与专业，让小女孩感受到美丽与尊严，最终帮助她重拾信心与希望，也让自己深刻体会到摄影的意义与生命的珍贵。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，温柔地对小女孩微笑，下定决心做点什么”可知，第一段可描写作者如何迅速调整心态，为小女孩精心布置拍摄场景，并通过鼓励让她逐渐放松并展现出自信的一面。 ②由第二段首句内容“小女孩看着照片，脸上露出灿烂的笑容”可知，第二段可描写拍摄完成后小女孩和母亲的喜悦反应，以及几个月后小女孩病情好转的消息，进一步体现这次拍摄的意义和影响。 2. 续写线索：决定帮忙——布置场景——鼓励小女孩——拍摄完成——小女孩展现笑容——母亲感激——收到后续消息 3 词汇激活 行为类 ①拍照：take pictures/take photos ②逐渐消失：fade away/disappear gradually ③呼喊；惊叫：exclaim/shout/cry out 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative ②高兴地：happily/joyfully/cheerfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】As she stood in front of the camera, I encouraged her to imagine herself as a fearless princess.(使用了as引导时间状语从句) 【高分句型2】She thanked me repeatedly, saying these photos would be the most precious memory for her daughter.(使用了现在分词saying 作状语和省略连接词that的宾语从句作saying的宾语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
