Over the span of thirty years, CASTIC has been one of the most famous and biggest science contests for young scientists in the global world, too. It is held in different cities every year, aimed at developing adolescents’ innovative capacity and ability to apply their science knowledge in creating inventions. Annually about hundreds of national and international participants would attend CASTIC with their own scientific projects in 13 science categories. Foreign delegations (代表团) from 20 countries would share innovative ideas and creations with the world. Qualifications and Limitations ·It is open to all international science-loving students studying in grades 7-12 (aged between 13 and 20). ·All participating students must attend CASTIC with an adult supervisor (a teacher, a parent, or a guardian). ·The same project can not be submitted in consecutive (连续的) years without significant progress or changes. ·A valid application must be submitted using the CASTIC application system by the deadline as per requirements. ·All students and supervisors have to communicate in English to present their projects during the judging session of CASTIC. ·Each student may present only one project. A maximum of three students may present a group project. ·There is no limit to how many projects may be submitted from the same school/ organization. But the team members from one school/ organization can not exceed 6 at most (1-2 supervisors and 4-5 students). ·All projects from the same school/ organization should be submitted under one application login in order to control communication and projects more efficiently. 1. What do we know about CASTIC? A. It develops within a few years. B. It gains its reputation over time. C. It takes place in a certain area. D. It focuses on adults’ creativity. 2. What should the participants do to show their projects? A. Attend the judging session in Chinese. B. Present projects as many as possible. C. Use English to describe their projects. D. Hand in a copy of a previous project. 3. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To cultivate innovative talents. B. To promote science education. C. To better the organization of young scientists. D. To outline the rules for participating in CASTIC. B When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms. Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free. A study estimated that every year, 26,735 people went to the emergency room for adverse (不利的) events related to OTC cold and cough medicines. When two or more drugs are used together, their interactions can sometimes produce unexpected harmful effects. Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use. It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses (剂量重复). Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient. While everyone could potentially experience adverse effects from cold and flu medicines, some groups — including older adults, children and pregnant women — may be at greater risk. Older people who are using prescribed drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not as expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicines to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death. 4. What does the author advise patients to do in Paragraph 2? A. To ask for suggestions from doctors. B. To buy medicines from hospitals. C. To read the package ingredients of drugs. D. To take drugs as early as possible. 5. What’s the purpose of mentioning cold medicines in Paragraph 3? A. To provide a medical choice for people who catch a cold. B. To show cold medicines are more likely to cause bad effects. C. To explain OTC medicines often have more than one ingredient. D. To stress the importance of learning about medicines’ ingredients. 6. What can we infer about older people in Paragraph 4? A. They can’t cope with aging positively. B. Their body can’t handle medicines easily. C. They are more easily affected by diseases. D. Their desire for health makes them unwise. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Say No to OTC Drugs B. Tips on Taking OTC Drugs C. OTC Medicines May Not Be Safe D. How to Deal with an OTC Drug Overdose C Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine Bing. Such tools, also known as chatbots or generative AI, are computer-powered systems. They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. In recent months these tools have demonstrated an ability to produce high-quality work. This has led some technology experts to warn that generative AI systems could end up replacing workers in many industries. This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants, from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published the results from the experiment in a working paper. The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tool completed 12 percent more tasks than non-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by about 40 percent. However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using ChatGPT 4 dropped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the AI tool was not good at completing. “Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. “But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.” The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. 8. What is a purpose of designing AI tools according to the text? A. To perform low-level writing. B. To replace technology experts. C. To finish high-quality work. D. To improve interpersonal communication. 9. Why does the author mention ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4? A. To explain the disadvantages of AI tools. B. To show how well AI tools could help workers. C. To forecast changes in the future working environment. D. To compare the work performance between humans and AI tools. 10. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Companies need to balance the work of AI and humans. B. It is useless to train so many workers to learn to use AI. C. It is easy to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. D. Research on using AI effectively has been made by businesses. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Now B. Ways to Improve Your Performance at Work C. The Fast Development of Artificial Intelligence D. AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance D The shiny leaves and branching roots of mangroves (红树林) in Australia are eye-catching, and now a study provides us with new findings about the trees. Long-term tidal cycles (潮汐周期), in large part, set in motion the expansion and contraction of mangrove forests by the moon drive, researchers report in Science Advances. This discovery is key to predicting when mangroves are most likely to grow fast. Mangroves are coastal trees, which are good at absorbing carbon and could help fight climate change, that provide habitat for fish and fight against erosion (侵蚀). But in some places, the forests face plenty of menaces, including coastal development, pollution and land clearing for agriculture. Neil Saintilan, an environmental scientist in Sydney, worked out how the size and thickness of mangrove forests across Australia changed over time. Saintilan noticed a curious pattern. Mangrove forests tended to expand and contract in a certain manner. “I saw this 33-year regular change,” Saintilan said. That regularity got the researchers thinking about the moon. Over the course of 33 years, the plane (平面) of the moon’s orbit around Earth slowly tilts (倾斜). When the moon’s orbit is the least tilted relative to the equator, semi-diurnal tides (半日潮)—which consist of two high and low tides each day—tend to have a larger range. Saintilan found that mangrove forests experiencing semi-diurnal tides tended to be larger and denser precisely when higher tides were expected based on the moon’s orbit, which could deliver much more water and necessary nutrients to mangroves. It is important to recognize this effect on mangrove populations. Such knowledge could inform efforts to protect and restore the forests, thus promoting the growth of these trees. That might look like added limitations on human activity nearby that could harm the forests. But people should be more reactive. 12. Which of the following can be indicated from the new study about Australian mangroves? A. They can predict the motion of the moon. B. Their favorable growth time is predictable. C. Their functions are beyond normal imagination. D They do well in transforming carbon into oxygen. 13. What does the underlined word “menaces” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Doubts. B. Threats C. Opportunities. D. Solutions. 14. How does the moon affect mangroves’ growth in Australia? A By decreasing the appearance of low tides. B. By tilting frequently to offer more tides for the Earth. C. By driving tides to provide beneficial elements for growth. D. By generating semi-diurnal tides to reduce mangroves’ soil loss. 15. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. Knowledge of Protecting and Storing Mangroves. B Research about Expansion and Contraction of Forests. C. Discovery on the Causes of High and Low Tides. D. New Findings about Moon Drive and Mangroves. 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。 Traveling is becoming more and more popular every year.

Kind Larry was the oldest followed by smart Emily and I. One year, our family moved into a bigger house and we each had our own room. Both Larry and Emily chose to live upstairs while I preferred living in the basement. Emily laughed at me because I picked a room with poor natural light. However, I never cared about it. I had a secret kept only between my brother Larry and me-I wanted to be the neighbor of our large refrigerator where something delicious was always stuffed including the whole family’s favorite-ice cream. During the week, we drank only milk at our meals and never ate dessert. But Sunday was different- Mom would make her famous roast meat dinner and Dad would make an exception to the dessert rule. One Sunday, my father sat happily at the head of the table and said, “Great meal! I think we should finish it with something special, “He told my brother, “Larry, go downstairs and get Breyers!” Breyers is a brand of ice cream, the family’s favorite. When it went on sale, my mother would buy some, about a gallon of it, storing it in the refrigerator in the basement for such a special occasion. But when the moment really came, I spoiled it. For a few nights, I couldn’t resist the temptation and ate a half box of ice cream at the rate of a small spoonful per night. So when Larry was about to run downstairs, I hurriedly pulled his hand under the table. Larry turned to look at me and felt surprised, but he immediately understood what had happened. Emily was impatient at the table, looking at her empty dinner plate and urging Larry to be quick. Larry didn’t move, and instead, he said to Dad, “Why don’t we enjoy it on Children’s Day?” Dad smiled, “We can eat again on that day. Come on, Larry! Go and get it!” I knew Larry didn’t look like himself today. He was an ice cream lover like everyone else present, but it was unbelievable that he should refuse to eat it today. I felt very sorry for making my brother Larry so embarrassed. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said,“Yes. I ate it.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 ACBCA 6-10 ACABB 11-15 CABCB 16-20 ACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 哈师大青冈实验中学2024-2025学年度高二上学期期末考试 英语试题 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.

The aging body is not as expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are. This can put older adults at higher risk for an overdose and drug-to-drug interactions with some medicines. The Food and Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not recommend giving cold medicines to children under age 4. Because of a variety of factors, young children have a higher risk of an accidental overdose and adverse events that could lead to death. 4. What does the author advise patients to do in Paragraph 2? A. To ask for suggestions from doctors. B. To buy medicines from hospitals. C. To read the package ingredients of drugs. D. To take drugs as early as possible. 5. What’s the purpose of mentioning cold medicines in Paragraph 3? A. To provide a medical choice for people who catch a cold. B. To show cold medicines are more likely to cause bad effects. C. To explain OTC medicines often have more than one ingredient. D. To stress the importance of learning about medicines’ ingredients. 6. What can we infer about older people in Paragraph 4? A. They can’t cope with aging positively. B. Their body can’t handle medicines easily. C. They are more easily affected by diseases. D. Their desire for health makes them unwise. 7. What’s the best title for the passage? A. Say No to OTC Drugs B. Tips on Taking OTC Drugs C. OTC Medicines May Not Be Safe D. How to Deal with an OTC Drug Overdose 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要向我们介绍了服用非处方药（OTC），如感冒和流感药物的风险。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Physicians are typically knowledgeable about potential drug interactions, so it is very important for patients to ask their healthcare providers which OTC medicines are safe for them to use.(医生通常对潜在的药物相互作用非常了解，所以对病人来说，询问他们的医生哪些非处方药对他们来说是安全的是非常重要的。)”可知，作者建议病人们应该询问医生哪些非处方药对他们来说是安全的是非常重要的，即作者建议病人向医生寻求建议。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“It is important to read the package ingredients of OTC medicines closely to avoid duplication of doses. Cold medicines are typically made up of multiple ingredients. A person who takes a single-ingredient medicine paired with one of these multi-ingredient medicines can receive an unsafe dose of that ingredient.(仔细阅读非处方药的包装成分以避免重复剂量是很重要的。感冒药通常由多种成分组成。一个人服用单一成分的药物与其中一种多种成分的药物搭配，可能会收到不安全剂量的该成分。)”可知，作者在第三段中提感冒药是为了强调了解药物成分的重要性。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Older people who are using prescribed drugs to treat multiple health conditions may have a higher risk of drug interactions because of the higher number of medicines being used at the same time to treat different conditions. The aging body is not as expert at absorbing, distributing and clearing medicines as younger bodies are.(使用处方药治疗多种健康状况的老年人可能有更高的药物相互作用风险，因为同时使用更多的药物来治疗不同的疾病。衰老的身体不像年轻的身体那样擅长吸收、分配和清除药物。)”可以推断出老年人的身体不容易接受药物。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段中的“When colds and flu hit, many people automatically turn to over-the-counter (OTC) medicines to push through and treat their symptoms. Although these medicines are easily accessible and widely used, it might come as a surprise to many people to learn that they are not risk-free.(当感冒和流感来袭时，许多人会不由自主地求助于非处方药(OTC)来克服和治疗他们的症状。虽然这些药物很容易获得并被广泛使用，但许多人可能会惊讶地发现它们并非没有风险。)”可知，本文主要讲的是非处方药（OTC），如感冒和流感药物的风险。C选项“OTC Medicines May Not Be Safe(非处方药可能不安全)”最适合用作本文的标题。故选C。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) tools designed to operate at human levels have greatly expanded in popularity over the past year. These include OpenAI’s ChatGPT, Google’s Bard and Microsoft’s AI-powered search engine Bing. Such tools, also known as chatbots or generative AI, are computer-powered systems. They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. In recent months, these tools have demonstrated an ability to produce high-quality work. This has led some technology experts to warn that generative AI systems could end up replacing workers in many industries. This year, researchers at Harvard Business School and other organizations carried out an experiment. It aimed to test how well AI tools could help workers perform their usual duties or tasks. It involved more than 700 business advisors, called consultants, from Massachusetts-based Boston Consulting Group. Harvard Business School recently published the results from the experiment in a working paper. The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker performance. For example, researchers found that, on average, workers who used OpenAI’s latest ChatGPT 4 tool completed 12 percent more tasks than non-ChatGPT users. Tasks carried out with help from the AI technology were completed 25 percent faster. And the team found the quality of work performed by consultants using ChatGPT 4 increased by about 40 percent. However, the paper also noted areas where the performance of consultants using ChatGPT 4 dropped. The researchers said this was especially true with tasks the AI tool was not good at completing. “Of tasks the AI was good at, the experiment showed it significantly improved human performance,” the paper said. “But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.” The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. 8. What is a purpose of designing AI tools according to the text? A. To perform low-level writing. B. To replace technology experts. C. To finish high-quality work. D. To improve interpersonal communication. 9. Why does the author mention ChatGPT 4 in paragraph 4? A. To explain the disadvantages of AI tools. B. To show how well AI tools could help workers. C. To forecast changes in the future working environment. D. To compare the work performance between humans and AI tools. 10. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Companies need to balance the work of AI and humans. B. It is useless to train so many workers to learn to use AI. C. It is easy to find the right mix of AI and human-level work. D. Research on using AI effectively has been made by businesses. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. ChatGPT Can See, Hear and Speak Now B. Ways to Improve Your Performance at Work C. The Fast Development of Artificial Intelligence D. AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能工具有助于但同时也会损害员工的工作表现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work.(它们被设计成能与人类流畅地互动，并能执行高水平的写作和创造性工作。)””及第二段“In recent months, these tools have demonstrated an ability to produce high-quality work.(最近几个月，这些工具已经证明了产生高质量工作的能力。)””可知，设计人工智能工具的目的之一是完成高质量的工作。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The main findings suggest that AI tools like ChatGPT can greatly improve worker performance.(主要研究结果表明，像ChatGPT这样的人工智能工具可以极大地提高员工的绩效。)””可知，作者在第四段提及 ChatGPT 4是为了展示人工智能工具对员工的帮助。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The team suggests one of the biggest barriers to companies effectively using AI is not knowing which tasks can be completed best with the technology. Finding this out will require businesses to carry out thoughtful research and training efforts in order to find the right mix of AI and human-level work.(该团队表示，企业有效使用人工智能的最大障碍之一是不知道哪些任务可以用这项技术完成得最好。要找到这一点，企业需要进行深思熟虑的研究和培训工作，以便找到人工智能和人类工作的正确组合。)”可知，公司需要平衡人工智能和人类的工作。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“They are designed to interact smoothly with humans and perform high-level writing and creative work. (它们被设计成能与人类流畅地互动，并能执行高水平的写作和创造性工作。)”和第五段“But for tasks ChatGPT 4 was not right for, humans relied too much on the AI and were more likely to make mistakes.(但对于ChatGPT 4不适合的任务，人类过于依赖人工智能，更容易出错。)”可知，文章主要介绍了人工智能工具有助于但同时也会损害员工的工作表现。所以“AI Tools Help but also Harm Worker Performance(人工智能工具有助于但也会损害员工的绩效)”作为文章标题最为合适。选D。 D The shiny leaves and branching roots of mangroves (红树林) in Australia are eye-catching, and now a study provides us with new findings about the trees. Long-term tidal cycles (潮汐周期), in large part, set in motion the expansion and contraction of mangrove forests by the moon drive, researchers report in Science Advances. This discovery is key to predicting when mangroves are most likely to grow fast. Mangroves are coastal trees, which are good at absorbing carbon and could help fight climate change, that provide habitat for fish and fight against erosion (侵蚀). But in some places, the forests face plenty of menaces, including coastal development, pollution and land clearing for agriculture. Neil Saintilan, an environmental scientist in Sydney, worked out how the size and thickness of mangrove forests across Australia changed over time. Saintilan noticed a curious pattern. Mangrove forests tended to expand and contract in a certain manner. “I saw this 33-year regular change,” Saintilan said. That regularity got the researchers thinking about the moon. Over the course of 33 years, the plane (平面) of the moon’s orbit around Earth slowly tilts (倾斜). When the moon’s orbit is the least tilted relative to the equator, semi-diurnal tides (半日潮)—which consist of two high and low tides each day—tend to have a larger range. Saintilan found that mangrove forests experiencing semi-diurnal tides tended to be larger and denser precisely when higher tides were expected based on the moon’s orbit, which could deliver much more water and necessary nutrients to mangroves. It is important to recognize this effect on mangrove populations. Such knowledge could inform efforts to protect and restore the forests, thus promoting the growth of these trees. That might look like added limitations on human activity nearby that could harm the forests. But people should be more reactive. 12. Which of the following can be indicated from the new study about Australian mangroves? A. They can predict the motion of the moon. B. Their favorable growth time is predictable. C. Their functions are beyond normal imagination. D. They do well in transforming carbon into oxygen. 13. What does the underlined word “menaces” probably mean in Paragraph 2? A. Doubts. B. Threats C. Opportunities. D. Solutions. 14. How does the moon affect mangroves’ growth in Australia? A. By decreasing the appearance of low tides. B. By tilting frequently to offer more tides for the Earth. C. By driving tides to provide beneficial elements for growth. D. By generating semi-diurnal tides to reduce mangroves’ soil loss. 15. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. Knowledge of Protecting and Storing Mangroves. B. Research about Expansion and Contraction of Forests. C. Discovery on the Causes of High and Low Tides. D. New Findings about Moon Drive and Mangroves. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项关于澳大利亚红树林的新研究，揭示了长期潮汐周期对红树林扩张和收缩的影响，以及月亮对红树林生长的驱动作用，并指出这些发现对于预测红树林的生长发展和保护具有重要意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“This discovery is key to predicting when mangroves are most likely to grow fast. (这一发现是预测红树林何时最有可能快速生长的关键。)”可知，从澳大利亚红树林的新研究中可以看出他们的有利生长时间是可以预见的，故选B项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第二段中“ including coastal development, pollution and land clearing for agriculture. (包括沿海开发、污染和农业用地清理)”可知，menaces包含了“coastal development, pollution and land clearing for agriculture”，而沿海开发、污染和农业用地清理都是不利于红树林发展的，是红树林所面临的威胁，故推测menaces的含义为“威胁”，故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Saintilan found that mangrove forests experiencing semi-diurnal tides tended to be larger and denser precisely when higher tides were expected based on the moon’s orbit, which could deliver much more water and necessary nutrients to mangroves. (Saintilan发现，经历半昼夜潮汐的红树林往往更大、更密集，而根据月球轨道预计潮汐会更高，这可以为红树林提供更多的水和必要的养分。)”可知，月球是通过推动潮汐，为红树林提供有益元素，故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，并结合第一段“The shiny leaves and branching roots of mangroves ( 红树林 ) in Australia are eye-catching, and now a study provides us with new findings about the trees. Long-term tidal cycles ( 潮汐周期 ), in large part, set in motion the expansion and contraction of mangrove forests by the moon drive, researchers report in  Science Advances .

Kind Larry was the oldest, followed by smart Emily and I. One year, our family moved into a bigger house and we each had our own room. Both Larry and Emily chose to live upstairs while I preferred living in the basement. Emily laughed at me because I picked a room with poor natural light. However, I never cared about it. I had a secret kept only between my brother Larry and me-I wanted to be the neighbor of our large refrigerator where something delicious was always stuffed including the whole family’s favorite-ice cream. During the week, we drank only milk at our meals and never ate dessert. But Sunday was different- Mom would make her famous roast meat dinner and Dad would make an exception to the dessert rule. One Sunday, my father sat happily at the head of the table and said, “Great meal! I think we should finish it with something special, “He told my brother, “Larry, go downstairs and get Breyers!” Breyers is a brand of ice cream, the family’s favorite. When it went on sale, my mother would buy some, about a gallon of it, storing it in the refrigerator in the basement for such a special occasion. But when the moment really came, I spoiled it. For a few nights, I couldn’t resist the temptation and ate a half box of ice cream at the rate of a small spoonful per night. So when Larry was about to run downstairs, I hurriedly pulled his hand under the table. Larry turned to look at me and felt surprised, but he immediately understood what had happened. Emily was impatient at the table, looking at her empty dinner plate and urging Larry to be quick. Larry didn’t move, and instead, he said to Dad, “Why don’t we enjoy it on Children’s Day?” Dad smiled, “We can eat again on that day. Come on, Larry! Go and get it!” I knew Larry didn’t look like himself today. He was an ice cream lover like everyone else present, but it was unbelievable that he should refuse to eat it today. I felt very sorry for making my brother Larry so embarrassed. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said,“Yes. I ate it.” _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With one more look at me, Larry had to walk slowly down to the basement. I felt extremely guilty for eating the ice cream. I wanted to confess, but I was too scared to speak up. As Larry returned with an empty container, everyone looked confused. Dad asked, “Where’s the ice cream?” Larry replied, “It looks like someone has eaten it all.” I lowered my head, hoping no one would notice my embarrassment. To my great shock, just when I hesitated to admit it, Larry said, “Yes. I ate it.” My eyes widened in disbelief. Larry continued, “I was feeling hungry late at night and couldn’t resist the temptation. I’m sorry.” I was puzzled why Larry would take the blame for me. Later, when we were alone, Larry explained that he didn’t want me to feel guilty and wanted to teach me a lesson about honesty. I thanked him and promised to never do something like that again. From that day on, I became more truthful and responsible. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者犯了错，可是哥哥为了保护作者，主动承担责任的感人故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Larry又看了我一眼，只好慢慢地走到地下室。”以及第二段首句内容“令我大为震惊的是，正当我犹豫是否要承认的时候，Larry说：“是的。我把它吃了。””可知，第一段可描写Larry拿来一个空空的冰淇淋盒子，父母怀疑有人吃掉了冰淇淋。 ②由第二段首句内容“令我大为震惊的是，正当我犹豫是否要承认的时候，Larry说：“是的。我把它吃了。””可知，第二段可描写Larry主动承担了责任，保护了作者的感受。 2.续写线索：作者家中有三个孩子，作者喜欢住在地下室因为作者想离冰箱近些——作者的哥哥也知道，作者经常偷吃冰淇淋——作者家每个周日，都会吃烤肉，吃甜点——一个周日，作者的爸爸让作者的哥哥Larry去冰箱取点冰淇淋——作者暗暗拉住哥哥Larry——Larry明白作者将冰淇淋吃完了，提议在儿童节吃冰淇淋——可知作者的父亲坚持让Larry去拿冰淇淋——Larry没办法只得拿来了空空的冰淇淋盒子，并承认自己吃掉了冰淇淋——作者很感激哥哥，从此变得更有责任心，更诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①回复：reply/respond ②注意到：notice/observe ③承诺：promise/make a promise 情绪类 ①害怕的：scared/frightened ②困惑的：puzzled/surprised 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Larry returned with an empty container, everyone looked confused.（运用了as引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】Later, when we were alone, Larry explained that he didn’t want me to feel guilty and wanted to teach me a lesson about honesty.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和that引导的宾语从句） 1-5 ACBCA 6-10 ACABB 11-15 CABCB 16-20 ACBAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
