B When I bought a house in Portland four years ago, I immediately began designing my dream garden, intending to remove the weeds and plant some vegetables or long-lasting flowers. I soon discovered, however, that the soil was unproductive, clay-heavy and littered with stones. In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery. Replacing this vastly greater quantity of dirt was neither practical nor financially possible. Instead, I decided to remediate (补救) what I already had. The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 4 How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 5. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 6. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers C A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable shift that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings. Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein’s shape from its amino acid sequence (序列) was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades. The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can accurately predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases. The tech company’s success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that Al can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. 8. Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A. They discovered a cure for Alzheimer’s and diabetes. B They analyzed the functions of essential body elements. C. They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program. D. They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research. 9. Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function? A. It leads to the development of the diseases. B. It offers insights into the structure of protein. C. It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug. D. It affects the protein’s role in biological processes. 10. What does the underlined word “underscore” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Minimize. B. Highlight. C. Question. D. Overlook. 11. What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research? A. A new focus on solving biological problems. B. An amazing change in academic research settings. C. An increase in joint efforts between different fields. D. A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques. D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices 12. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 13. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 14. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 15. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances 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。 Creativity isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone.

It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon. The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it. Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense. “I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals. “I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well. The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind. I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it. I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二下学期3月质量检测 英语 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.

In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock, and shielding soil from being washed away with cover crops, often work. I tried to apply such methods in my garden. Where once there was only grass, I created a pond, a rock garden, a wildflower field and raised beds for vegetables. I let plants grow and decompose by themselves in a natural way. I also introduced different plants and revived its ecological communities. In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium. Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right. Although science still lacks an agreed definition of life, textbooks highlight criteria widely considered to differentiate the living and nonliving. Soil meets many of them: It has a highly organized structure. It has a capacity for active self-preservation. It grows. It breathes. And it can die. 4. How did the author use to improve the soil? A. By adding rich soil. B. By covering it with bags. C. By removing the weeds. D. By applying chemical fertilizer. 5. What does the underlined word “shielding” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Exposing. B. Separating. C. Sheltering. D. Monitoring. 6. What is the purpose of paragraph 4? A. To explain the process of transplanting. B. To illustrate the prevention of insect attacks. C. To stress the competition of different species. D. To state the formation of multi-species communities. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Soul of Soil B. The Vitality of the Wild C. The Art of Gardening D. The Whisper of Flowers 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文 。文章讲述作者四年前在波特兰买房后打理花园，面对贫瘠土壤，采用现代农业方法改良，最终对土壤有全新认知的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In previous, much tinier gardens, I’d fix it with a few bags of high-quality soil from the nursery.(以前，在那些小得多的花园里，我会用从苗圃买来的几袋优质土壤来改良土壤)”可知，作者过去是通过添加优质土壤来改善土壤的，也就是添加肥沃的土壤。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Two core principles of modern agriculture can guide this shift: minimizing soil disturbance and emphasizing biodiversity. In practice, growing crops by turns, prioritizing organic inputs over chemical fertilizers, integrating crops, trees and livestock(现代农业的两个核心原则可以指导这一转变：尽量减少土壤扰动和强调生物多样性。在实践中，轮流种植作物；优先使用有机肥料而非化肥；将农作物、树木以及家畜进行整合)”和划线词后面“…soil from being washed away with cover crops (用覆盖作物来……土壤被冲走)”可知，这里说的是一些现代农业的原则及实践方法，提到用覆盖作物来防止土壤被冲走，划线词在此处应是“保护、防护”的意思，与“Sheltering”意思相近。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“In May, I decided to relocate a flowering plant. As I dug the plant out, all manner of life emerged. Earthworms swung from the roots. A daddy longlegs hurried for shelter. Below the plant I even noticed the fine white lattice of a fungal mycelium.(五月的时候，我决定移栽一株开花植物。当我把这株植物挖出来时，各种各样的生物都冒了出来。蚯蚓在根部扭动着，一只长脚蜘蛛匆匆寻找藏身之处。在这株植物的下方，我甚至还看到了真菌菌丝体那细密的白色网状结构)”可知，本段描述了作者在移栽开花植物时，看到了蚯蚓、长脚蜘蛛以及真菌菌丝体等各种各样的生物出现，展现了多种生物共存的情况，目的是说明形成了多物种的群落。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The challenge before me was to revitalize the soil. (摆在我面前的挑战是重振土壤)”和最后一段“Running my fingers through the soil, I understood, more clearly than ever before, that I transformed much more than my yard — it completely changed the way I think about soil. It’s not simply as a medium for life, but as a living entity (个体) in its own right.(我用手指穿过土壤，比以往任何时候都更清楚地意识到，我改变的不仅仅是我的院子——它完全改变了我对土壤的看法。它不仅仅是作为生命的媒介，而且本身就是一个有生命的实体)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者打理花园改造土壤的过程，通过实践对土壤有了新的认识，认为土壤不仅仅是生命的介质，它本身就是一个有生命的个体，强调了土壤的重要性及独特“生命力”，因此，A选项“土壤的灵魂”作为标题最为合适，能够概括文章的主旨。故选A项。 C A major scientific achievement has been recognized with the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. Most of this work was done at a tech company, marking a notable shift that high-level scientific research can also originate outside traditional academic settings. Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. If a protein is shaped incorrectly, it can cause serious diseases like Alzheimer’s and diabetes. Historically, predicting a protein’s shape from its amino acid sequence (序列) was very difficult and puzzled scientists for decades. The breakthrough happened with A-Fold, a machine learning program that can accurately predict protein structures from their amino acid sequences. This tool has changed the field, providing insights into the structure of over 200 million proteins so far. This data is expected to speed up progress in medicine and drug development, opening new ways to treat diseases. The tech company’s success with A-Fold also underscores the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that Al can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. 8. Why was the team awarded the 2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A. They discovered a cure for Alzheimer’s and diabetes. B. They analyzed the functions of essential body elements. C. They worked out protein structures with a machine learning program. D. They created a new way to treat diseases through traditional research. 9. Why is the shape of a protein critical to its function? A. It leads to the development of the diseases. B. It offers insights into the structure of protein. C. It speeds up the progress of medicine and drug. D. It affects the protein’s role in biological processes. 10. What does the underlined word “underscore” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Minimize. B. Highlight. C. Question. D. Overlook. 11. What possibility does the author imply about the future of scientific research? A. A new focus on solving biological problems. B. An amazing change in academic research settings. C. An increase in joint efforts between different fields. D. A lessened dependence on machine learning techniques. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了AI预测和设计蛋白质结构获诺贝尔化学奖。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This award was given to a team using machine learning to solve a big problem in biology: predicting and designing the 3D shapes of proteins. (这个奖项被授予了一个使用机器学习解决生物学中一个大问题的团队：预测和设计蛋白质的3D形状。)”可知，该团队使用机器学习程序解决了蛋白质结构的问题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Proteins are crucial for our bodies and are involved in almost every biological process. The shape of a protein determines its function. (蛋白质对我们的身体至关重要，几乎参与每一个生物过程。蛋白质的形状决定了它的功能。)”可知，蛋白质的形状影响其在生物过程中的作用。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The tech company’s success with A-Fol (这家科技公司在A-Fol上的成功)”及“the growing impact of artificial intelligence in various scientific domains, showing that AI can tackle complex biological problems and contribute to critical advancements in health and medicine. (人工智能在各种科学领域日益增长的影响力，表明人工智能可以解决复杂的生物学问题，并为健康和医学领域的关键进步做出贡献。)”可知，A-Fold的成功凸显了人工智能在各个领域的影响力，因此“underscore”与选项B意思相近,意为“强调，突出”。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The Nobel Prize committee awarded this work to highlight the value of combining different areas in science, where technology and biology meet to create amazing results. This achievement not only shows what AI can do but also sets an example for future scientific projects that combine technology with traditional research to address global problems. (诺贝尔奖委员会颁发这项工作是为了突出结合不同科学领域的重要性，其中技术和生物学相遇并创造出惊人的成果。这一成就不仅展示了人工智能可以做什么，也为未来结合技术与传统研究的科学项目树立了榜样，以解决全球问题。)”可知，作者暗示了未来科学研究的一个可能性是不同领域之间的合作将增加，特别是在技术和生物学交汇的领域。故选C。 D Decision fatigue (决策疲劳) is a psychological phenomenon where the quality of decisions declines after a long session of decision-making. It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. While many of us believe we are logical beings capable of weighing every option carefully, decision fatigue shows how our mental resources can be used up over time. One of the key studies on this phenomenon was conducted in the context of parole hearings (假释听证会). Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. Decision fatigue not only affects major life choices but also everyday decisions. For instance, people often report struggling to decide what to eat for dinner after a long day. Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. To overcome decision fatigue, some well-known figures have adopted strategies to simplify their daily routines. For example, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing the same style of gray T-shirts to minimize unnecessary choices. Similarly, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Albert Einstein was known for owing multiple identical suits to avoid wasting energy on deciding what to wear each day. In a different context, author Haruki Murakami has shared that he maintains a strict daily routine, including specific writing hours and exercise, to free up mental capacity for his creative work. Understanding decision fatigue can help us structure our lives more effectively. Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. By managing our mental resources wisely, we can make sound decisions and reduce the stress associated with overwhelming choices 12. What leads to decision fatigue according to the text? A. The lack of time to make decisions. B. The difficulty of making logical choices. C. The stress from making important decisions. D. The limited mental energy for decision-making. 13. What does the study on parole hearings reveal? A. Judges are much stricter after long breaks. B. Decision fatigue can lead to unfair outcomes. C. Fatigue causes judges to avoid complicated cases. D. External factors have no impact on decision-making. 14. What does the author suggest readers shopping online do? A. Make quick decisions. B. Compare different products. C. Limit the number of choices. D. Choose the most popular products. 15. What is the purpose of adopting routines? A. To reduce the stress of daily work. B. To increase decision-making quality. C. To enhance overall life satisfaction. D. To create more decision-making chances 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了决策疲劳这一心理现象，即长时间做决策后决策质量下降的情况，并探讨了其原因、影响及应对策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is caused by the limited mental energy we have for making choices each day. (这是由于我们每天用于做选择的精力有限)”可知，决策疲劳是由有限的决策精力导致的。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Researchers found that judges were more likely to approve of parole early in the day or after a meal break. As the day progressed and the judges made more decisions, they were increasingly likely to maintain their previous decisions, denying parole simply because it required less mental effort. (研究人员发现，法官在一天早些时候或饭后休息后更有可能批准假释。随着一天的进行，法官做出的决定越多，他们就越有可能维持之前的决定，仅仅因为减少精神努力而拒绝假释)”可知，随着法官做出的决定增多，他们因为决策疲劳而倾向于维持之前的决定，这可能导致不公平的假释结果。由此可推知，关于假释听证会的研究揭示了决策疲劳可能导致不公平的结果。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Similarly, too many choices, such as when looking through streaming platforms or online stores, can leave individuals feeling confused, leading them to abandon the process entirely or settle for a less satisfying option. (同样，太多的选择，比如在浏览流媒体平台或网上商店时，会让个人感到困惑，导致他们完全放弃这个过程或选择一个不太满意的选项)”可知，作者提到网上购物时太多的选择会让人困惑。由此可推知，作者建议网上购物的读者限制选择的数量，以避免决策疲劳。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Prioritizing important decisions earlier in the day or setting up routines to minimize unnecessary choices are strategies to preserve mental energy. (在一天中较早地优先处理重要决策或制定常规以最小化不必要的选择，是保存精神能量的策略)”可知，制定常规的目的是为了保存精神能量，从而提高决策质量。故选B项。 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。 Creativity isn’t something that comes naturally to everyone.

It wouldn’t eat. What was wrong with it? I thought to myself as I glanced at the pigeon. The bird was trembling, leaning against a small tub I had placed it in. It rested on a sheet of newspaper with some grains scattered on it, but the poor thing didn’t even seem to take note of it. Just as our eyes met — mine, dark brown; its fiery orange — the pigeon froze, and it puffed itself up in self-defense. “I’m not going to hurt you,” I said softly, stroking the bird, but it kept its guard up. Its survival instincts (本能) were strong, no doubt, shaped by the world it had seen and the way people often treat animals. “I have a lot of bird-friends,” I added and smiled at the bird, but it did nothing as well. The pigeon was shaking. I found it earlier in the parking lot, seeking shelter under a motorcycle, trying to find comfort by the tire. It seemed healthy, had perfect wings, but didn’t fly for some reason. Was it exhausted? Heartbroken? Abandoned? It had a look in its eye that felt like it had given up. I thought to give it an opportunity to change its mind. I convinced my parents to let me keep the bird at our place as I thought that was its only chance to survive the night. The plan after that was to release it in the morning, though I hoped if we could become friends and end up adopting it. I have a soft spot for animals in my heart. When I was younger and my parents didn’t let me have a dog, I had all sorts of pets. I had a colony of ants once, and if you ask me, we had a unique bond. We had so much trust that I let them crawl over me. I was fine with spiders too and cared for jumping spiders, watching them hunt with fascination. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 So, giving up on this pigeon didn’t feel right. After all, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for animals. I prepared a warm and cozy corner in my room for it. Soft rags were carefully lined there, creating a comfortable nest. I talked to it softly, sharing stories of my other pets and the adventures we had together. I even played some gentle music, thinking it might soothe the bird. Gradually, the pigeon began to relax a bit, starting to peck at the grains and take small bites. It was a small step, but it gave me hope that it was beginning to trust me. As night fell and deepened, I took one last peek at the pigeon before drifting off to sleep. The next morning, both my parents and I were woken up by the merry chirping of the pigeon. The sound was a delightful surprise, a sign that the bird was feeling more at ease. As we gathered in my room, the pigeon slightly spread its wings as if testing the air. It seemed to have regained some of its energy overnight. I placed a few more grains on the floor, and this time, the pigeon approached the food directly, suggesting that it was slowly regaining its trust in the world around it. Seeing this, my parents and I exchanged smiles with each other. By the afternoon, the pigeon had made its way to the window. With a sudden burst of energy, the pigeon spread its wings and flew away, leaving us with a heartwarming memory. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在停车场捡到了一只鸽子，带回了家，但是鸽子不吃不喝，让作者很担心。作者没有放弃，而是给鸽子准备了舒适的环境，鸽子也逐渐接受了，开始逐渐恢复。最后鸽子展开翅膀飞走了，给作者他们留下了温馨的回忆。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“所以，放弃这只鸽子感觉不对”可知，第一段可描写作者为鸽子准备舒适的环境，鸽子逐渐放松。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天早上，我和父母都被鸽子欢快的叫声吵醒了”可知，第二段可描写鸽子适应了环境，最终飞走的经过。 2.续写线索：不愿意放弃——改善环境——鸽子放松——鸽子适应——鸽子飞走——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①认为：think/assume ②睡着：drift off to sleep/fall asleep ③聚集：gather/assemble 情绪类 ①令人高兴的：delightful/enjoyable ②感人：heartwarming/moving 【点睛】[高分句型1] As night fell and deepened, I took one last peek at the pigeon before drifting off to sleep.
