So whether you’re in your youth or you want to help someone you love, these are some of the best mental health websites for young people. TeenHelp As the name suggests, TeenHelp is specifically targeted towards those in their teen years. The website covers mental health topics from teen depression to anger issues. The great thing about TeenHelp is that it is not only for teenagers but parents, too. It includes a particular column for parents to find online resources like how to choose a psychologist. YoungMinds Even if you’re not in the UK, YoungMinds gives you access to a library of helpful advice, information, support, and resources. Please choose whether you are a parent, you work with young people, or you are a young person yourself.

There is even a YoungMinds online store where you can buy fun clothing, postcards, and prints. ReachOut ReachOut offers something for everyone, whether you’re a young person looking for help or a parent. Do you need help with mental health issues such as addiction, self-harm, or anxiety?

B Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 25. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life. C. To avoid possible doubts over her abilities. D. To give herself an advantage in promotion. 26. How did some people help the author? A. By persuading her to win leaders’ support. B. By convincing her seeking help is a must. C By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. C For any astronaut hoping to survive on the surface of the moon, growing crops will be essential. Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it's possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil. The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” While previous studies have dusted plants with lunar soil to test for organisms, until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned. To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. “How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants?” The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies. 28. What does Ferl think of the findings? A. They benefit the next generation of lunar explorers. B. They turn the moon into a perfect launching platform. C. They are a good starting point to explore space. D. They bring hope for the future agriculture. 29. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment? A. Its genes are suitable for lunar soil. B. It has a long evolutionary history. C. It has been dusted with lunar soil before. D. People have a good knowledge of its genes. 30 What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soil? A. They absorbed few nutrients. B. They grew slowly in the dark. C. They didn’t grow well enough. D. They needed more water to grow bigger. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon D. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil Successfully D The distinction between biologically primary and biologically secondary knowledge described by Geary is an instructionally important categorisation method. Biologically primary knowledge is knowledge we, as a species, have specifically evolved to acquire over generations. Primary skills, such as learning general problem solving strategies, recognising faces, communication through listening and speaking a native language, and social relations including our ability to communicate with each other, are modular, with each skill likely to have evolved during different evolutionary periods. We can acquire primary knowledge, easily, unconsciously, and without concrete instruction merely by membership in a group. The ability to acquire vast aspects of the culture we grow up in is biologically primary. Nevertheless, in most cultures, there are many concepts and procedures that we have not specifically evolved to acquire such as reading, doing mathematics, working with a computer, or searching the internet. Those biologically secondary skills are acquired consciously, often requiring considerable effort. Unlike primary knowledge and skills, obvious instruction is important when dealing with secondary knowledge and skills, or this knowledge acquisition will be severely compromised. Unlike the generic-cognitive (通用认知的) skills that tend to be biologically primary, biologically secondary skills tend to be field-specific. Examples of biologically secondary skills include almost everything that is taught in education and training institutions. The distinction between primary, generic-cognitive knowledge and secondary, field-specific knowledge explains why information tends to be acquired differently outside as opposed to inside educational contexts. We use primary knowledge to facilitate acquiring secondary knowledge. For example, to learn geometry in a traditional class or using computer-supported material requires primary skills such as visual recognition, attention, and senses about space, time and sequence, to name a few. In this way, the theoretical machinery of evolutionary educational psychology can be used to suggest that the primary, generic-cognitive knowledge associated with cooperative learning may, under some circumstances, improve the acquisition of the biologically secondary, field-specific knowledge that is taught. 32. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean? A. Consisting of separate parts. B. Looking like a piece of cake. C. Witnessing constant changes. D. Serving as long-term abilities. 33. What is the feature of primary skills? A. They aims to solve rare problems. B. They are acquired when one is born. C. They require no formal teaching. D They are the product of observation. 34. Which writing way does the text skip when leading secondary skills? A. Posing contrasts. B. Quoting figures. C. Giving definitions. D. Showing examples. 35. How do primary skills help secondary knowledge acquisition? A. By finding their similarities. B. By laying a solid foundation. C. By bettering learners’ focus. D. By offering a familiar setting. 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。 In this economy, more and more people are settling for jobs they dislike.

Streamers of clouds drifted by high above in the sky. Not far away, the huge new tower blocks lined the road. The faint sound of cars was dimly heard. His mother was chopping tomatoes for their dinner as usual. Suddenly she said, ”You know, the thing I miss most is cooking a really hot salsa (辣番茄酱), with fresh peppers straight from the garden.” She sighed. “That’s what I miss most about Merida.” Tomas looked up from his book in surprise. His mother had never talked like this about their old life before. He studied her now. She looked a little sad, but then she smiled at him and swept the pile of chopped tomatoes into the cooking pot. “But I’ve already learned a lot about this new country, Tomas,“ she said. ”For a start, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make a salsa!" She waved a packet of chili spice powder at him, and they both laughed. Watching his mother busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tomas thought about the insight his mother had given him into her feelings, and he realized that he felt the same way about leaving. Sure, it had been great for his father to get this good job, but it had also been hard. Tomas missed his old home-especially the sun and the beach. And his mother missed Merida, too. She had loved working in her market garden, selling the fresh vegetables that she had grown herself and then coming home to cook up huge, tasty meals for her family. Tomas’s stomach rumbled at the memories. He thought about how different things were for them now, living in this large, gray apartment block where there was no garden and no friends dropping by to share their delicious meals. He sighed. At least they were still able to speak regularly every night after dinner with his grandmother back in Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly Tomas had an idea. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 长郡中学2025届高三月考试卷（七） 英语 注意事项: 1. 答卷前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时, 选出每小题答案后, 用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） 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?

At the agreed time and place, they meet and perform for whoever is around. They often perform a song or dance. Then, when the performance is over, it seems to them that nothing has happened. Their “audience” includes people who are not in on the secret but just happen to be at the same place and time. Bill Wasik came up with the idea of the flash mob in 2003. He said it was a “social experiment”. He shared his idea through e-mails. Later, two hundred people showed up at a store, and they asked the salespeople for help in finding something. Then they all left ten minutes later. News of the mob spread through the media. Today, flash mobs are so popular that you might even find one in your area through online searches.

Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions. I held strong until. I got in the car to drive home. That’s when I fell to pieces. I fought to see the road through my tears as I spoke with my travel agent to book the next flight out. My mother pulled through the surgery. My response to my mother’s crisis was in line with my deep, long-term fear of showing weakness or admitting to feeling overwhelmed. As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable. The truth was, I desired to pause, to catch my breath, to simply say, “I’m struggling.” I longed to be weak. I wanted to acknowledge my mistakes, to honor a range of emotions, and to ask for help. Cautiously, I began to reveal some of my struggles to my personal and professional circles, watching closely for reactions. Some looked down on my experience. To my great relief, a few listened without judgment and respected my boundaries and coping process. They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines. They helped me see that even professionals in leadership positions can need support. To anyone bearing the weight of constant strength, hear this: True strength isn’t about never hesitating. It’s about having the courage to admit when we’re struggling, reaching out for support, and having the strength to piece ourselves back together and move on. 24. What did the author do after hanging up the phone? A. She drove to look after her mother. B. She quickly booked a flight ticket. C. She hesitated to start her teaching. D. She kept calm and stayed on duty. 25. Why did the author showcase her strength? A. To help her mother make a full recovery. B. To prove she lived a good and happy life. C.

By convincing her seeking help is a must. C. By listening to her and giving judgments. D. By sharing similar experiences with her. 27. What does the author want to convey in the text? A. Strength does not mean hiding struggles. B. Strength gives us more courage to grow. C. Comparing yourself with others is harmful. D. Worldly labels block personal development. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者在母亲突发手术时仍坚持授课，害怕展现脆弱；随后开始尝试向他人袒露自己的挣扎，得到一些人的理解和支持，认识到真正的强大是勇于寻求帮助并重新站起来。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Moments before heading to teach a class, I received a call from my sister: My mother was going into emergency surgery and might not make it through the night. Five minutes later, I stepped in front of 68 MBA students to lecture without missing a beat, and even stayed a few minutes after to answer questions.(就在我准备去上课之前，我接到了姐姐的电话：我母亲要做紧急手术，可能熬不过今晚了。五分钟后，我站在68名MBA学生面前讲课，没有丝毫停顿，甚至课后还留了几分钟回答问题)”可知，作者挂掉电话后，保持冷静并继续履行职责。故选D项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As the youngest daughter from a Vietnamese refugee family, showcasing my strength seemed the best way to honor my parents’ and siblings’s acrifices that have given me a better life in the United States. I did not want colleagues to question my capabilities or friends and family to see me as anything less than unshakable.(作为一个越南难民家庭的小女儿，展示我的力量似乎是向父母和兄弟姐妹们致敬的最好方式，他们的牺牲让我在美国过上了更好的生活。我不想让同事质疑我的能力，也不想让朋友和家人觉得我不够坚定)”可知，作者展示自己的力量是为了避免他人对自己能力产生怀疑。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They offered information about counseling services, legal help, support groups, and hotlines.

Now, scientists have taken “one small step” towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it's possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil. The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement. “For future, longer space missions, we may use the moon as a launching platform,” explained Professor Rob Ferl. “It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.” While previous studies have dusted plants with lunar soil to test for organisms, until now, scientists have not grown plants in the soil. “So, what happens when you grow plants in lunar soil? What would plants do in a lunar greenhouse? Could we have lunar farmers?” Professor Ferl questioned. To answer these questions, researchers from Florida set out to plant thale cress seeds in lunar soil, add water, nutrients, and light, and see what happened. The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped. For comparison, the researchers also planted seeds in a range of soils, including those that simulate Martian soils. To their delight, the researchers found that nearly all of the seeds grew. However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size. Growing plants in lunar soils may also change the moon itself, according to Dr Stephen Elardo. “The moon is a very, very dry place,” he said. “How will minerals in the lunar soil respond to having a plant grown in them, with the added water and nutrients? Will adding water make the minerals friendlier to plants?” The researchers hope to answer these questions in follow-up studies. 28. What does Ferl think of the findings? A. They benefit the next generation of lunar explorers. B. They turn the moon into a perfect launching platform. C. They are a good starting point to explore space. D. They bring hope for the future agriculture. 29. Why did researchers use thale cress in the experiment? A. Its genes are suitable for lunar soil. B. It has a long evolutionary history. C. It has been dusted with lunar soil before. D. People have a good knowledge of its genes. 30. What did researchers find about the plants grown in lunar soil? A. They absorbed few nutrients. B. They grew slowly in the dark. C. They didn’t grow well enough. D. They needed more water to grow bigger. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Scientists Hope to Collect More Lunar Soil B. Scientists Conduct a Study on Lunar Soil C. Scientists Prepare for Farming on the Moon D. Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil Successfully 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了科学家成功在月球土壤中种植拟南芥，研究其生长情况及对月球的影响，为未来月球种植和定居带来希望。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段第二句“Now, scientists have taken ‘one small step’ towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it's possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.(现在，科学家们在证明了一种小型开花植物拟南芥可以在月球土壤中生长之后，朝着在月球表面种植植物迈出了‘一小步’。)”以及第三句“The findings raise hopes that plants could be grown on the moon during future space missions, and even enable mankind to set up a lunar settlement.(这些发现让人们燃起了希望，即未来的太空任务中可以在月球上种植植物，甚至能让人类建立月球定居点。)”和Professor Rob Ferl 所说的话“It makes sense that we would want to use the soil that’s already there to grow plants.(我们想用那里已有的土壤来种植植物是有道理的。)”可知，Ferl认为这些发现为未来的月球探索者提供了帮助，因为可以利用月球土壤种植植物，这对在月球上生存很重要。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“The researchers chose to use thale cress because its genetic code has already been fully mapped.(研究人员选择使用拟南芥，因为它的遗传密码已经被完全绘制出来了。)”可知，研究人员使用拟南芥是因为它的遗传密码已经被完全绘制出来，人们对它的基因有很好的了解。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段倒数第二句“However, they did observe differences between the plants grown in the lunar soil and those grown in the control soils. Some of the plants grown in the lunar soils were smaller, while others grew more slowly or were more varied in size.(然而，他们确实观察到了在月球土壤中生长的植物和在对照土壤中生长的植物之间的差异。一些在月球土壤中生长的植物较小，而另一些生长得更慢或大小差异更大。)”可知，在月球土壤中生长的植物生长得不够好。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第二句“Now, scientists have taken ‘one small step’ towards growing plants on the lunar surface, after showing it's possible to grow thale cress, a small flowering plant, in lunar soil.(现在，科学家们在证明了一种小型开花植物拟南芥可以在月球土壤中生长之后，朝着在月球表面种植植物迈出了‘一小步’。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要介绍了科学家成功地在月球土壤中种植了植物。所以D选项Scientists Grow Plants in Lunar Soil Successfully(科学家成功地在月球土壤中种植植物)符合文意，适合作为文章标题。故选D项。 D The distinction between biologically primary and biologically secondary knowledge described by Geary is an instructionally important categorisation method. Biologically primary knowledge is knowledge we, as a species, have specifically evolved to acquire over generations. Primary skills, such as learning general problem solving strategies, recognising faces, communication through listening and speaking a native language, and social relations including our ability to communicate with each other, are modular, with each skill likely to have evolved during different evolutionary periods. We can acquire primary knowledge, easily, unconsciously, and without concrete instruction merely by membership in a group. The ability to acquire vast aspects of the culture we grow up in is biologically primary. Nevertheless, in most cultures, there are many concepts and procedures that we have not specifically evolved to acquire such as reading, doing mathematics, working with a computer, or searching the internet. Those biologically secondary skills are acquired consciously, often requiring considerable effort. Unlike primary knowledge and skills, obvious instruction is important when dealing with secondary knowledge and skills, or this knowledge acquisition will be severely compromised. Unlike the generic-cognitive (通用认知的) skills that tend to be biologically primary, biologically secondary skills tend to be field-specific. Examples of biologically secondary skills include almost everything that is taught in education and training institutions. The distinction between primary, generic-cognitive knowledge and secondary, field-specific knowledge explains why information tends to be acquired differently outside as opposed to inside educational contexts. We use primary knowledge to facilitate acquiring secondary knowledge. For example, to learn geometry in a traditional class or using computer-supported material requires primary skills such as visual recognition, attention, and senses about space, time and sequence, to name a few. In this way, the theoretical machinery of evolutionary educational psychology can be used to suggest that the primary, generic-cognitive knowledge associated with cooperative learning may, under some circumstances, improve the acquisition of the biologically secondary, field-specific knowledge that is taught. 32. What does the underlined word in paragraph 2 mean? A. Consisting of separate parts. B. Looking like a piece of cake. C. Witnessing constant changes. D. Serving as long-term abilities. 33. What is the feature of primary skills? A. They aims to solve rare problems. B They are acquired when one is born. C. They require no formal teaching. D. They are the product of observation. 34. Which writing way does the text skip when leading secondary skills? A. Posing contrasts. B. Quoting figures. C. Giving definitions. D. Showing examples. 35. How do primary skills help secondary knowledge acquisition? A. By finding their similarities. B. By laying a solid foundation. C. By bettering learners’ focus. D. By offering a familiar setting. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. B 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述的是生物性初级知识与生物性次级知识的区别，以及这两种知识在学习和教育中的重要性。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。由第二段的“Primary skills, such as learning general problem solving strategies, recognising faces, communication through listening and speaking a native language, and social relations including our ability to communicate with each other(基本技能，比如学习一般的解决问题的策略，识别面孔，通过听和说母语进行交流，以及社会关系，包括我们相互沟通的能力)”和“with each skill likely to have evolved during different evolutionary periods(每种技能都可能在不同的进化时期进化而来)”可知，每个初级技能可能在不同的进化时期进化。这句话的重点在于different，也就是说每个初级技能有自己对应要掌握的阶段，这些不同的阶段构成了不同的部分或模块，划线词modular的意思是“模块化”，和consisting of separate parts意思相近。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段的“We can acquire primary knowledge, easily, unconsciously, and without concrete instruction merely by membership in a group.(我们可以很容易地、不自觉地获得基本知识，而不需要具体的指导，仅仅是作为一个群体的成员。)”可知，我们可以很容易地、无意识地获取初级知识，只加入一个群体即可，不需要具体的讲授。故选C。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。由第二段“Biologically primary knowledge is knowledge we, as a species, have specifically evolved to acquire over generations.(生物学上的初级知识是我们作为一个物种，经过几代人的进化而获得的知识。)”可知，文中用了下定义的方法；由第三段“Nevertheless, in most cultures, there are many concepts and procedures that we have not specifically evolved to acquire such as reading, doing mathematics, working with a computer, or searching the internet.(然而，在大多数文化中，有许多概念和程序不是我们特别进化而获得的，比如阅读、做数学、使用电脑或搜索互联网。)”可知，文中用了举例子的方法；根据第三段“Unlike primary knowledge and skills(不像初级知识和技能)”可知，文中用了对比的方法。只有引用数据这种方法没有被使用。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。由第四段的“For example, to learn geometry in a traditional class or using computer-supported material requires primary skills such as visual recognition, attention, and senses about space, time and sequence, to name a few.(例如，在传统课堂上学习几何或使用计算机辅助材料需要一些基本技能，如视觉识别、注意力和对空间、时间和顺序的感觉，等等。)”可知，学习几何（也就是获得次级知识）要求初级技能，比如说视觉识别、注意力、空间感、时间感、层次序列感。也就是说，初级技能的那些东西是在为学习次级知识打基础。故选B。 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。 In this economy, more and more people are settling for jobs they dislike.

Streamers of clouds drifted by high above in the sky. Not far away, the huge new tower blocks lined the road. The faint sound of cars was dimly heard. His mother was chopping tomatoes for their dinner as usual. Suddenly she said, ”You know, the thing I miss most is cooking a really hot salsa (辣番茄酱), with fresh peppers straight from the garden.” She sighed. “That’s what I miss most about Merida.” Tomas looked up from his book in surprise. His mother had never talked like this about their old life before. He studied her now. She looked a little sad, but then she smiled at him and swept the pile of chopped tomatoes into the cooking pot. “But I’ve already learned a lot about this new country, Tomas,“ she said. ”For a start, I’ve learned that there’s more than one way to make a salsa!" She waved a packet of chili spice powder at him, and they both laughed. Watching his mother busy in the kitchen preparing dinner, Tomas thought about the insight his mother had given him into her feelings, and he realized that he felt the same way about leaving. Sure, it had been great for his father to get this good job, but it had also been hard. Tomas missed his old home-especially the sun and the beach. And his mother missed Merida, too. She had loved working in her market garden, selling the fresh vegetables that she had grown herself and then coming home to cook up huge, tasty meals for her family. Tomas’s stomach rumbled at the memories. He thought about how different things were for them now, living in this large, gray apartment block where there was no garden and no friends dropping by to share their delicious meals. He sighed. At least they were still able to speak regularly every night after dinner with his grandmother back in Mexico over the computer-Grandmother! Abuela! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly Tomas had an idea. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: Suddenly Tomás had an idea. Why not turn to Abuela for help? Seized by the increasing eagerness to contact his grandmother, he wolfed his supper once it was ready. Right after dinner, Tomás raced to the computer before he had even had his favourite dessert, leaving his mother in curiosity. The moment he got through to his grandmother via the video chat, he lowered his voice, whispering, “Abuela, I need your help!” After Tomás poured out his idea, Abuela clapped her hands, promising, “Excellent! You’ll receive what you want!” Beside himself with joy, Tomás waved goodbye to Abuela, expectantly waiting for the package. A week later, a box arrived from Mexico. Bubbling over with excitement, Tomás invited his mother to open the box together. Unfolding before their eyes were a sealed package of dried habanero peppers and a colorful packet of seeds. “That’s what I miss most! A taste from HOME!”, blurted out his mother, her lips curving into a broad beam and eyes glittering in amazement. Never had Tomás seen his mother so cheerful in weeks. Moments later, his mother was preparing a salsa using the peppers, chopping tomatoes and humming a merry tune. Outside the kitchen window, a big pot containing the seeds gleamed in the sunlight. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Tomas一家因为父亲的工作离开了家乡，Tomas听了母亲说思念家乡的辣椒，想到他们可以每天晚上与祖母通电话，Tomas想到一个办法安慰思乡的母亲的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然Tomas有了一个想法”可知，第一段可描写Tomas与奶奶通电话寻求帮助的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，来自墨西哥的盒子到了。”可知，第二段可描写Tomas和母亲打开盒子后的情景，母亲吃惊而欣喜，非常高兴。 2.续写线索：和奶奶通电话寻求帮助——奶奶欣然接受——打开盒子——母亲惊喜——母亲非常高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 .联系：contact/reach/get in touch with .冲向电脑：race to the computer/rush to the computer 倾诉：pour out/speak out/pour forth 情绪类 .好奇：in curiosity/curiously .开心：with joy/delighted/joyful .吃惊：in amazement/amazedly/surprisedly/in surprise 【点睛】[高分句型1].
