B There are so many things to keep in order with young children during weekdays. It’s all too easy to end up forgetting they need their PE kit on a particular day, or to realize they have no clean school uniforms or you’ve missed an email about a school trip. So one admirably organized mom, Rachael Hallett, from Australia, has shared her simple but highly effective solution to having to prepare their lunchboxes. Her tip recommends mass cooking, just like you might do with dinners. “School lunches can get boring,” she admits. “You can cook a lot and freeze many items in advance. Sandwiches, sausage rolls, wraps and so on. These all freeze well.” But she points out that any fillings that are water-based, like cucumber or tomato, should be avoided in case the bread or wraps become wet. And Rachael, who has two primary school age children, doesn’t stop there with the preparation. She also makes the decisions easily over what to give her children daily by drawing up a list of different foods to put in the boxes. She prefers lunchboxes with different parts that won’t leak and each section is used for various items such as fruit or snacks. The wise mom sometimes even sends her kids into school with a food thermos for warm lunches. “You can really send almost anything,” she shares. But even Rachael has days when she just doesn’t have the time or energy to make a meal for her little ones and she says on these occasions school dinners are definitely a suitable alternative. “Plan some money for a lunch order on your hardest weekdays. Usually school dinners aren’t too expensive and taste good,” she says. Rachael is a co-founder of the hugely popular Facebook group Moms Who, which has over a million members. Lots of other members of the group thanked Rachael for sharing her tips which they intended to put to use in their routines. 4. What are parents’ weekdays like according to the first paragraph? A. Challenging. B. Boring. C. Amazing. D. Meaningful. 5. What does Rachael suggest on mass cooking? A. Avoiding sandwiches. B. Preparing food with juice. C. Choosing food that freezes well. D. Cooking one item at a time. 6. Why does Rachael probably prefer lunchboxes with different parts? A. It is easy for her children to carry. B. It is convenient to put different foods in. C. The lunchboxes look more beautiful. D. The lunchboxes are popular with children. 7. What is the purpose of the Facebook group Moms Who? A. To offer various recipes for cooking school dinners at home B. To help moms find affordable lunchbox options for their kids C. To allow moms in Australia to discuss school-related topics. D. To provide a platform for moms to share the tips on their kids’ lunch. C Cortisol, widely recognized as the “stress hormone (激素)”, plays a key role in managing stress. The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problem. “The relationship between cortisol and body symptoms is not straightforward.” Experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University emphasizes. Our bodies release cortisol when we encounter a challenge, whether psychological or physical, real or imagined. Things like coming across a bear on a hike, receiving an annoying work email or delivering a public speech are the typical cases. Cortisol aids in energy supply and metabolism (新陈代谢) control. Its levels vary, peaking in the morning and reducing by night. However, long-term stress can disturb this balance, leading to sustained high cortisol levels. Potential disadvantages are weakened immune (免疫的) system and high blood sugar, as well as mental illnesses like depression and PTSD. In extreme cases, too much cortisol production may lead to Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by serious physical changes and requiring medical treatment. Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation, as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol’s dynamic nature. Experts suggest consulting healthcare professionals for a thorough check. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for managing cortisol levels, research indicates that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can aid in regulating the body’s stress response. These activities not only help in reducing stress but also in training the body to manage its stress response more effectively over time. In conclusion, cortisol plays a key role in how our body handles stress and functions overall. However, saying that many health problems are just due to cortisol imbalances misses the complex interaction between hormones, stress and health. It’s important to take a holistic approach to health, with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies. 8. What can we learn about cortisol? A. It can directly cause sleep disorder B. It won’t influence physical health at all. C. It has nothing to do with stomach upset. D. It is often misunderstood on social media. 9. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Exercise guarantees cortisol decrease. B. Home testing of cortisol is not available. C. Multiple tests may be required to measure cortisol. D. Experts dismiss home activities in stress management. 10. What does the underlined word “holistic” mean in the last paragraph? A. Medical. B. Physical. C. Immediate. D. Integrated. 11. Where is this text most likely from? A. An education guide. B. A health magazine. C. A book review. D. A scientific paper. D Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing. However, such benefits were sadly not enough to persuade Sheffield Hallam University to continue to offer an English literature degree to undergraduates. Due to falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is ceasing the course. It follows a similar move by the University of Cumbria last year and cuts to humanities funding elsewhere. This decline is partly caused by the increasing commercialization of higher education, which values degrees based on job prospects and starting salaries. With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational (非职业类的) course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the tuition fees rose to £9,000. Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses-those which fail to deliver an instant graduate reward in the job market are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating. The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Additionally, judging the worth of a course solely by labor market outcomes ignores other important values, such as personal growth and cultural contribution. After a decade of marketisation, a seriously practical worldview is beginning to sweep over England’s higher education sector. But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities. 12. Why did Sheffield Hallam University cease its English literature course? A. A lack of qualified teachers. B. Decreased need for arts and humanities. C. Poor feedback about the program. D. Rising interest in vocational courses. 13 Which factor has discouraged students from applying for humanities degrees? A. No funding from the government. B. High tuition fees and student loan debt. C. A rise in competitive vocational programs. D. A barrier to personal growth. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the trend of reducing humanities courses in universities? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned. 15. Which of following is a suitable title for the text? A. Higher Education Industry: A Heated Game B. Major Adjustment Policy: A Wake-up Call C. Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Program D. Vocation and commercialization: A Focused Trend 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every day we are filled with information, much of which is given by people who want to shape our decisions. So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. ____16____ It’s the ability to think clearly and see how ideas are connected. Like any skill, critical thinking can be learned, and the best way to learn it is by practising. You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand. ____17____ You may need to ask questions to clarify the person’s claims and ask them to explain key terms, especially words with multiple meanings. Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether it’s true. ____18____ You can figure this out by considering the source of the facts and whether the facts line up with what you already know about the topic. For a conflict, discover whether your understanding is incorrect or the new statement is wrong. Critical thinking also involves examining people’s motivations and assumptions. For example, a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. ____19____ It’s necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete. ____20____ Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary, but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs sometimes can be wrong. By critically examining both your own and others’ opinions, you can understand the way the world works and make decisions in light of the truth. A. Analysing information requires critical thinking. B. And he will leave out facts that don’t help him reach that goal. C. Thus, the first step to critical thinking must always be listening. D. Because it’s possible to draw incorrect conclusions from correct facts. E. So learning about the common arguments and your own beliefs can help. F. The most important question is whether the facts they state are actually true. G. Critical thinking requires examining your own ideas and assumptions as well. 第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 完形填空 (共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。 Dr. Jonas Salk’s medical care to pets on the streets started ten years ago as a personal mission that he kept to himself.

My home was surrounded by nature, with the nearest neighbor miles away and no phone service. As a nurse, I used to be around people, but I found immense joy in solitude and wildlife, since my whole new life was closely connected to nature and I could never feel lonely with animals nearby. One afternoon, I introduced a visiting friend to a deer I called Scarbelly, recognizable by an old wound running from her shoulder to her hip. “She had a baby last year, and she brings her baby around too,” I said happily. “They seem to like you a lot!” she remarked as the deer inched closer. “I think so, but deer aren’t easy to get close to,” I replied, enjoying the peacefulness of my life in the woods. That peaceful existence was disturbed one April morning. I woke to the sounds of birds but felt an unusual heaviness in my legs. Struggling to get up, I lost my balance and crashed into the doorframe. Something was seriously wrong: I even couldn’t feel my left arm or fingers. Panic set in as my nurse training kicked in-could I be having a stroke (中风) at just 46? I needed help, but I had no neighbors and no phone. Desperate, I muttered, “Well, God, I’ve got to do something here. I need help. Fast!” I tried to get dressed quickly and stepped outside, “Scarbelly!” I cried with all my strength. Scarbelly soon appeared on the deck, with several other deer crowding in behind her. They weren’t the rescue team I’d imagined, but they were all I had. Determined to reach the road at the top of the hill, I shuffled forward, the deer following closely. The vast lawn looming before me, I felt overwhelmed. Yet I pushed through, only to find myself at the gravel road, confused about how I’d made it that far. Scarbelly looked into my eyes, as if she had helped me along. 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, a car appeared in the distance, but when I waved, it sped past. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the driver drove off, the deer finally stepped away from the road. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第一学期期末调研测试卷 高二英语 本试卷分第I卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)。第I卷1至8页，第Ⅱ卷9至10页。满分150分。考试时间120分钟。 第I卷 注意事项： 1. 答第I卷时，考生务必用2B铅笔按 “正确涂写” 要求涂写答题卡。 2. 每小题选出答案后，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。不能答在试卷上。 3. 考试结束，考生将答题卡交回。 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。 1.

These all freeze well.” But she points out that any fillings that are water-based, like cucumber or tomato, should be avoided in case the bread or wraps become wet. And Rachael, who has two primary school age children, doesn’t stop there with the preparation. She also makes the decisions easily over what to give her children daily by drawing up a list of different foods to put in the boxes. She prefers lunchboxes with different parts that won’t leak and each section is used for various items such as fruit or snacks. The wise mom sometimes even sends her kids into school with a food thermos for warm lunches. “You can really send almost anything,” she shares. But even Rachael has days when she just doesn’t have the time or energy to make a meal for her little ones and she says on these occasions school dinners are definitely a suitable alternative. “Plan some money for a lunch order on your hardest weekdays. Usually school dinners aren’t too expensive and taste good,” she says. Rachael is a co-founder of the hugely popular Facebook group Moms Who, which has over a million members. Lots of other members of the group thanked Rachael for sharing her tips which they intended to put to use in their routines. 4. What are parents’ weekdays like according to the first paragraph? A. Challenging. B. Boring. C. Amazing. D. Meaningful. 5. What does Rachael suggest on mass cooking? A. Avoiding sandwiches. B. Preparing food with juice. C. Choosing food that freezes well. D.

The lunchboxes look more beautiful. D. The lunchboxes are popular with children. 7. What is the purpose of the Facebook group Moms Who? A. To offer various recipes for cooking school dinners at home B. To help moms find affordable lunchbox options for their kids C. To allow moms in Australia to discuss school-related topics. D.

The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problem. “The relationship between cortisol and body symptoms is not straightforward.” Experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University emphasizes. Our bodies release cortisol when we encounter a challenge, whether psychological or physical, real or imagined. Things like coming across a bear on a hike, receiving an annoying work email or delivering a public speech are the typical cases. Cortisol aids in energy supply and metabolism (新陈代谢) control. Its levels vary, peaking in the morning and reducing by night. However, long-term stress can disturb this balance, leading to sustained high cortisol levels. Potential disadvantages are weakened immune (免疫的) system and high blood sugar, as well as mental illnesses like depression and PTSD. In extreme cases, too much cortisol production may lead to Cushing’s syndrome, characterized by serious physical changes and requiring medical treatment. Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation, as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol’s dynamic nature. Experts suggest consulting healthcare professionals for a thorough check. While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for managing cortisol levels, research indicates that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can aid in regulating the body’s stress response. These activities not only help in reducing stress but also in training the body to manage its stress response more effectively over time. In conclusion, cortisol plays a key role in how our body handles stress and functions overall. However, saying that many health problems are just due to cortisol imbalances misses the complex interaction between hormones, stress and health. It’s important to take a holistic approach to health, with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies. 8. What can we learn about cortisol? A. It can directly cause sleep disorder B. It won’t influence physical health at all. C. It has nothing to do with stomach upset. D. It is often misunderstood on social media. 9. What can be inferred from paragraph 4? A. Exercise guarantees cortisol decrease. B. Home testing of cortisol is not available. C. Multiple tests may be required to measure cortisol. D. Experts dismiss home activities in stress management. 10. What does the underlined word “holistic” mean in the last paragraph? A. Medical. B. Physical. C. Immediate. D. Integrated. 11. Where is this text most likely from? A. An education guide. B. A health magazine. C. A book review. D. A scientific paper. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了皮质醇的功能、误解及其与健康的关系，并提供了相关建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“The recent discussions in TikTok suggest a misinterpretation that cortisol imbalances are directly responsible for various health issues, from loose skin to sleep and digestive problem.(TikTok上最近的讨论表明了一种误解，即皮质醇失衡直接导致了各种健康问题，从皮肤松弛到睡眠和消化问题。)”可知，皮质醇失衡被误解为直接导致各种健康问题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的句子“Identifying cortisol-related issues requires professional evaluation, as self-assessment or at-home testing may not provide accurate results due to cortisol’s dynamic nature.(识别皮质醇相关的问题需要专业的评估，因为由于皮质醇的动态特性，自我评估或家庭测试可能无法提供准确的结果。)”可知，由于皮质醇的动态特性，可能需要多次测试来准确测量其水平。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文的内容“with professional guidance and personalized stress management strategies.(在专业指导和个性化压力管理策略下)”可知，根据专业指导和个性化压力管理策略采取的方法肯定是全面的，所以划线单词“holistic”的意义为“全面的；整体的”，与integrated“综合的；完整统一的”意义相近。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据全文内容，文章主要讨论了皮质醇的作用、误解及其对健康的影响，并提供了专业的健康建议。这种内容通常出现在健康类杂志中。故选B项。 D Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing. However, such benefits were sadly not enough to persuade Sheffield Hallam University to continue to offer an English literature degree to undergraduates. Due to falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is ceasing the course. It follows a similar move by the University of Cumbria last year and cuts to humanities funding elsewhere. This decline is partly caused by the increasing commercialization of higher education, which values degrees based on job prospects and starting salaries. With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational (非职业类的) course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the tuition fees rose to £9,000. Meanwhile, supposedly “dead end” university courses-those which fail to deliver an instant graduate reward in the job market are coming under increasingly aggressive inspection. This year, the Office for Students set out plans to remove funding for “low quality” courses, defined as those where less than 60% of participants go into good jobs or further study soon after graduating. The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Additionally, judging the worth of a course solely by labor market outcomes ignores other important values, such as personal growth and cultural contribution. After a decade of marketisation, a seriously practical worldview is beginning to sweep over England’s higher education sector. But the inner quality and worth of a course cannot be fairly judged by reference to employment statistics and labour market outcomes. Sheffield Hallam’s decision must be a wake-up call for those concerned to preserve the future of the arts and humanities in our universities. 12. Why did Sheffield Hallam University cease its English literature course? A. A lack of qualified teachers. B. Decreased need for arts and humanities. C. Poor feedback about the program. D. Rising interest in vocational courses. 13. Which factor has discouraged students from applying for humanities degrees? A. No funding from the government. B. High tuition fees and student loan debt. C. A rise in competitive vocational programs. D. A barrier to personal growth. 14. What is the author’s attitude to the trend of reducing humanities courses in universities? A. Critical. B. Supportive. C. Neutral. D. Unconcerned. 15. Which of following is a suitable title for the text? A Higher Education Industry: A Heated Game B. Major Adjustment Policy: A Wake-up Call C. Arts and Humanities: A Must-keep Program D. Vocation and commercialization: A Focused Trend 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章批判了高等教育过度商业化，呼吁重视人文课程的综合价值。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Due to falling demand for arts and humanities courses, the university is ceasing the course. (由于艺术和人文学科的需求下降，该大学将停止该课程)”可知，该大学终止其英国文学课程是因为对艺术和人文学科的需求减少了。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段“With dramatically increasing graduates owing over £100,000 in student loans, it is understandable that young people from lower-income backgrounds might think twice about taking a non-vocational (非职业类的) course. Applications for English studies have fallen steadily since 2012, when the tuition fees rose to £9,000.(随着越来越多的毕业生背负着超过10万英镑的学生贷款，来自低收入背景的年轻人在选择非职业课程时可能会三思，这是可以理解的。自2012年学费升至9000英镑以来，申请英语课程的人数一直在稳步下降)”可知，高昂的学费和学生贷款债务阻碍了学生申请人文学位。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The overall approach is both wrong-headed and shortsighted. As Mr Graham points out, the arts and entertainment industry has become one of the few booming areas of the economy in which Britain can claim to be world-leading. Additionally, judging the worth of a course solely by labor market outcomes ignores other important values, such as personal growth and cultural contribution.(总的来说，这种做法既错误又短视。正如格雷厄姆所指出的那样，艺术和娱乐产业已经成为英国经济中为数不多的几个蓬勃发展的领域之一，在这些领域，英国可以宣称自己处于世界领先地位。此外，仅仅根据劳动力市场的结果来判断一门课程的价值，忽略了其他重要的价值，比如个人成长和文化贡献)”可推知，作者对大学减少人文课程的趋势持批判态度。故选A。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段“Studying literature allows us to explore universal truths, which may deliver a lifetime sense of wellbeing.(学习文学可以让我们探索普遍的真理，这可能会带来一生的幸福感)”等内容可知，文章核心观点是反对削减人文课程，强调其重要性（如经济贡献、文化价值）。由此可知，C项“艺术与人文：必修课程”符合主题，适合作本文标题。故选C。 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Every day we are filled with information, much of which is given by people who want to shape our decisions. So, we need to evaluate the information and determine how we should respond. ____16____ It’s the ability to think clearly and see how ideas are connected. Like any skill, critical thinking can be learned, and the best way to learn it is by practising. You cannot evaluate an argument that you do not understand. ____17____ You may need to ask questions to clarify the person’s claims and ask them to explain key terms, especially words with multiple meanings. Once you understand what the person is saying, then you can consider whether it’s true. ____18____ You can figure this out by considering the source of the facts and whether the facts line up with what you already know about the topic. For a conflict, discover whether your understanding is incorrect or the new statement is wrong. Critical thinking also involves examining people’s motivations and assumptions. For example, a salesman will present facts that are selected to convince you to buy what he is selling. ____19____ It’s necessary that you recognize these factors to predict when someone else’s statements might not be accurate or complete. ____20____ Poking holes in other people’s arguments can be necessary, but you must acknowledge the possibility that your own beliefs sometimes can be wrong. By critically examining both your own and others’ opinions, you can understand the way the world works and make decisions in light of the truth. A. Analysing information requires critical thinking. B. And he will leave out facts that don’t help him reach that goal. C. Thus, the first step to critical thinking must always be listening. D. Because it’s possible to draw incorrect conclusions from correct facts. E. So learning about the common arguments and your own beliefs can help. F. The most important question is whether the facts they state are actually true. G. Critical thinking requires examining your own ideas and assumptions as well. 【答案】16. A 17. C 18. F 19. B 20.

My home was surrounded by nature, with the nearest neighbor miles away and no phone service. As a nurse, I used to be around people, but I found immense joy in solitude and wildlife, since my whole new life was closely connected to nature and I could never feel lonely with animals nearby. One afternoon, I introduced a visiting friend to a deer I called Scarbelly, recognizable by an old wound running from her shoulder to her hip. “She had a baby last year, and she brings her baby around too,” I said happily. “They seem to like you a lot!” she remarked as the deer inched closer. “I think so, but deer aren’t easy to get close to,” I replied, enjoying the peacefulness of my life in the woods. That peaceful existence was disturbed one April morning. I woke to the sounds of birds but felt an unusual heaviness in my legs. Struggling to get up, I lost my balance and crashed into the doorframe. Something was seriously wrong: I even couldn’t feel my left arm or fingers. Panic set in as my nurse training kicked in-could I be having a stroke (中风) at just 46? I needed help, but I had no neighbors and no phone. Desperate, I muttered, “Well, God, I’ve got to do something here. I need help. Fast!” I tried to get dressed quickly and stepped outside, “Scarbelly!” I cried with all my strength. Scarbelly soon appeared on the deck, with several other deer crowding in behind her. They weren’t the rescue team I’d imagined, but they were all I had. Determined to reach the road at the top of the hill, I shuffled forward, the deer following closely. The vast lawn looming before me, I felt overwhelmed. Yet I pushed through, only to find myself at the gravel road, confused about how I’d made it that far. Scarbelly looked into my eyes, as if she had helped me along. 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, a car appeared in the distance, but when I waved, it sped past. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the driver drove off, the deer finally stepped away from the road. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Suddenly, a car appeared in the distance, but when I waved, it sped past. More cars passed and my hopes dashed. “I have to go to the middle of the road,” I decided, feeling it was my only option. Seeing me step into the road, the deer formed a protective circle around me, their warmth offering solace. When a truck approached, I waved my hand desperately. To my relief, it slowed and stopped. The driver stared in disbelief at the scene before him. “Please,” I pleaded, “I need to get to the hospital. I think I had a stroke.” He hesitated but quickly jumped out to help me into the passenger seat, cautiously eyeing the deer. As the driver drove off, the deer finally stepped away from the road. I felt a wave of gratitude. “Thank you, God, for these beautiful creatures watching over me,” I prayed. At the hospital, tests confirmed I had indeed suffered a stroke. The doctor reassured me, saying, “You’re lucky you got here as quickly as you did. If you’d waited, it could have been much worse.” I realized how fortunate I was-both for the swift help I received and for the angelic presence of the deer that had guided me when I was in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一名护士，帮助了一只名叫Scarbelly的鹿。某天作者早上感到身体不适，出现了中风的症状。这时Scarbelly出现了，并且在作者去求助的路上一直帮助作者。最终作者被路过的司机发现，送往了医院，多亏了Scarbelly，作者最终得救。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，远处出现了一辆汽车，但当我挥手时，它飞驰而过。”可知，第一段可描写作者在路边求助，Scarbelly提供帮助的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“当司机开车离开时，鹿终于离开了道路”可知，第二段可描写作者被司机发现，送往医院最终得救。 2.续写线索：路边求助——Scarbelly提供温暖——被司机发现——送往医院——作者得救——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①靠近：approach/get closer ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③使放心：reassure/set ... at ease 情绪类 ①感激：gratitude/appreciation ②难以置信：in disbelief/unbelievably 【点睛】[高分句型1] When a truck approached, I waved my hand desperately.
