B If you love art then, “Picasso” is going to speak a lot. Modern art is a result of Picasso’s work and he stands as a legendary figure in its birth. Pablo Picasso was born in Madrid on October 25, 1881. Picasso wasn’t just a painter of his time, he was an exceptional painter and his expertise didn’t just stop there. He was a sculptor, printmaker and stage designer. Due to his amazing skills and talent, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields. Picasso received training from his father who himself was an art teacher and a painter as well. Just at the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and he desired to introduce something new. He began to experiment with different styles of art. Most of his life was spent in Paris, which was a city to be in if you were an artist in the early 20th century. During his stay in Paris, he became friends with Guillaume Apollinaire, Georges Braque, and Max Jacob. All of them were influential artists and writers of the time and they quickly became close friends. With time, Picasso’s style continued to evolve. He explored different grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was bold and he always preferred to use innovative perspective. Picasso also excelled in other forms of art. He also produced sculptures, and collages, and even took an interest in theatrical productions. His most famous work was “Guernica”, a typical example of cubist (立体主义的) style. He produced this in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town of Guernica suffered a horrifying bombing. To this day, his work is an iconic representation of war horrors. On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France. He left behind a legacy of art that is celebrated still to this day. 24. Which of the following best describes Picasso? A. Gifted. B. Energetic. C. Greedy. D. Efficient. 25. What can be inferred about Picasso’s early life and education? A. He had no interest in art. B. He spent his entire life in Spain. C. He preferred traditional art techniques. D. He was trained by his father, an art teacher. 26. Which city played the most crucial role in Picasso’s artistic development and why? A. Madrid, because it was his birthplace. B. Paris, because it was a center for artists in the early 20th century. C. Mougins, because it was where he passed away. D. Guernica, because it inspired his most famous work. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. The Life of a Spanish Actor: Picasso’s Journey B. Picasso: A Revolutionary Artist in Modern Art C. From Traditional to Cubist: Picasso’s Artistic Evolution D. Paris and Picasso: The City that Shaped an Artist C In a remote part of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, river transport is far more common than road travel. Here, boats move along the Wichimi River, a wide channel that snakes through the thick plants, and powering the silent boats is the Ecuadorian sunshine. The boats have been provided by Kara Solar, a non-profit organization based in the region. The Achuar here are responsible for fixing, running and maintaining the boats — the solar boats are shaping daily life for the community by offering transport for education, health services and eco-tourism. For years, many Achuar have used gasoline-powered boats on the river, but the oil must be flown in by plane from Ecuador’ s capital, Quito, making it more expensive and adding to the carbon emissions (碳排放) connected with its use. “Gasoline motors use a lot of oil and pollute the river,” said Angel Wasump, Kara Solar’s director of operations and a member of the Achuar community. “Since the solar boats arrived, families have been giving up these motors completely,” he added. Formally launched in 2018, Kara Solar is staffed by members of the Achua r community. According to the organization, the boats operating in Ecuador have completed over 300 trips in total, carrying over 1,000 passengers and traveling over 450 kilometers per month. The most common uses are transporting local children to and from school and providing wildlife tours for eco-tourists. As well as reducing carbon emissions and pollution, the silent boats mean eco-tourists can get a closer view of wildlife without scaring it away. “The boat serves as a symbol of what eco-friendliness could look like,” said Wasump. “It’s like a return to what’s most important in Achuar culture. These boats have represented a way for us to reconnect with this vision of what development could look like.” 28 What can we learn about the Achuar from the first two paragraphs? A. They mostly earn their living by fishing. B. They depend much on boats in their lives. C. They are enthusiastic about voluntary work. D. They have little contact with the outside world. 29. What is a reason for the introduction of the solar boats? A. They travel faster. B. They are easy to operate. C. They are cost-effective. D. They carry more passengers. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The features of the solar boats. B. The applications of the solar boats. C. The effects of the solar boats on people’s lives. D. The advantages of the solar boats over traditional ones. 31. What does Wasump intend to stress in the last paragraph? A. Cultural difference. B. Community spirit. C. Environmental awareness. D. Technological development. D About 1 million people use American Sign Language (ASL) as their main way to communicate. ASL is important for children’s development of language. But learning ASL is often not that easy. Statistics show that 98 percent of hearing-impaired (听力受损) people do not receive their education in sign language and 72 percent of families do not communicate by signing. Since nine-out-of-ten children who are born without hearing are born to hearing parents, learning sign language skills are significant for these children and families. Now, a new app makes it easier to learn. Fingerspelling. xyz, an app from Hello Monday — a creative studio — teaches the correct hand positions in real time on web browsers. The app uses people’s webcams to track their hand movements while checking their accuracy (准确性). The app begins by giving the user a series of words and the hand positions for them. Then the app user tries the word and they are given feedback (反馈) until they can properly complete the word. While the app will not make someone fluent in ASL, the creators hope that it will encourage people to take a course on ASL and fingerspelling. The new app is different from other language apps because of the gaming-like technology it uses. This technology offers a more attractive learning experience than the traditionally used methods of learning sign language which include books and videos. It’s important to note that in ASL, fingerspelling is used for names, when there is no sign for a word, or when a person doesn’t know the sign. The game was created together with The American Society for Deaf Children, an organization devoted to bringing families together through sign language, is available for free. The organization also offers online courses and a directory of children’s stories that were translated into ASL. Language is a gift that is too important not to share. 32. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. Many people don’t take ASL seriously. B. ASL should be accessible to more people. C. It is too difficult for people to learn ASL. D. ASL enjoys great popularity in the country. 33. How does the app work? A By recognizing and translating texts. B. By giving and correcting the hand positions. C. By collecting and studying the user’s feedback. D. By tracking and improving the user’s experience. 34 What is special about Fingerspelling. xyz? A. It is convenient for the user to search. B. It includes various books and videos. C. It makes the learning more interesting. D. It is based on face recognition technology. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a product. B. To record an event. C. To recommend a course. D. To comment on an invention. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。 Keeping a schedule can help you manage your time and be productive. _____36_____ With a few graffiti (涂鸦) in your planner or tabs on your screen, you can have an efficient plan for the day in no time.

One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled(骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday. Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. ”Man, that’s a big dog!" he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him. Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶). Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easily caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh. At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now. 注意：1、续写词数应为150个左右; 2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The car abruptly stopped in front of him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 南阳一中2025春期高一年级第一次月考英语试题 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Why did the man want to leave?

At first, it was really exciting, but I didn’t win many competitions. Everything changed when I turned thirteen in 2018. In that year, I won every single competition I entered. When I was fourteen, my parents encouraged me to enter adult competitions. By playing at a higher standard, I developed as a player far more quickly. In 2020 I won my first adult competition, but by then my heart wasn’t in it. Because of chess, I had missed out on so much. I never went to parties with my friends. So, in 2022, I gave up playing chess for a year, did normal things as a teenager, studied hard at school, and achieved good grades. But spending time away from the game made me realize how much I missed it! This year, I feel fresh again! I’ve already signed up for two national competitions. My goal? To be selected for the national team! 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） A As China expands its visa-free policies and optimizes entry and exit procedures for international travelers, the appeal of “China Travel” is soaring.

Modern art is a result of Picasso’s work and he stands as a legendary figure in its birth. Pablo Picasso was born in Madrid on October 25, 1881. Picasso wasn’t just a painter of his time, he was an exceptional painter and his expertise didn’t just stop there. He was a sculptor, printmaker and stage designer. Due to his amazing skills and talent, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields. Picasso received training from his father who himself was an art teacher and a painter as well. Just at the age of 16, Picasso had already lost a liking to traditional art techniques and he desired to introduce something new. He began to experiment with different styles of art. Most of his life was spent in Paris, which was a city to be in if you were an artist in the early 20th century. During his stay in Paris, he became friends with Guillaume Apollinaire, Georges Braque, and Max Jacob. All of them were influential artists and writers of the time and they quickly became close friends. With time, Picasso’s style continued to evolve. He explored different grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was bold and he always preferred to use innovative perspective. Picasso also excelled in other forms of art. He also produced sculptures, and collages, and even took an interest in theatrical productions. His most famous work was “Guernica”, a typical example of cubist (立体主义) style. He produced this in response to the Spanish Civil War when the town of Guernica suffered a horrifying bombing. To this day, his work is an iconic representation of war horrors. On April 8, 1973, Picasso passed away in the city of Mougins, France. He left behind a legacy of art that is celebrated still to this day. 24. Which of the following best describes Picasso? A. Gifted. B. Energetic. C. Greedy. D. Efficient. 25.

He was a sculptor, printmaker and stage designer. Due to his amazing skills and talent, he became an outstanding figure in all of these fields.(毕加索不仅仅是他那个时代的画家，他是一位杰出的画家，他的专长并不止于此。他是一位雕刻家、版画家和舞台设计师。由于他惊人的技能和天赋，他成为所有这些领域的杰出人物。)”以及第三段中的“With time, Picasso’s style continued to evolve. He explored different grounds like still life, portraits, mythological scenes, and landscapes. His work was bold and he always preferred to use innovative perspective. Picasso also excelled in other forms of art. He also produced sculptures, and collages, and even took an interest in theatrical productions.(随着时间的推移，毕加索的风格不断演变。他探索了静物、肖像、神话场景和风景等不同的领域。他的作品大胆，他总是喜欢使用创新的视角。毕加索在其他艺术形式上也很出色。他还制作雕塑和拼贴画，甚至对戏剧作品也很感兴趣。)”可知，毕加索不仅是画家，还是雕塑家，版画家和舞台设计师，而且他的作品风格不断演变，探索了不同领域，如静物、肖像、神话场景和风景等，体现了他在各个不同的领域都具有天赋，由此可知，毕加索是一个有天赋的人。故选A项。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Picasso received training from his father who himself was an art teacher and a painter as well.

He left behind a legacy of art that is celebrated still to this day.(1973年4月8日，毕加索在法国穆甘市去世。他留下的艺术遗产至今仍被人们称颂。)”以及文章介绍的毕加索在现代艺术中的重要地位和他的艺术成就，以及他的艺术风格的演变等可知，“毕加索：现代艺术的革命艺术家”可以概括本文的主题，适合作为本文的最佳标题。故选B项。 C In a remote part of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest, river transport is far more common than road travel. Here, boats move along the Wichimi River, a wide channel that snakes through the thick plants, and powering the silent boats is the Ecuadorian sunshine. The boats have been provided by Kara Solar, a non-profit organization based in the region. The Achuar here are responsible for fixing, running and maintaining the boats — the solar boats are shaping daily life for the community by offering transport for education, health services and eco-tourism. For years, many Achuar have used gasoline-powered boats on the river, but the oil must be flown in by plane from Ecuador’ s capital, Quito, making it more expensive and adding to the carbon emissions (碳排放) connected with its use. “Gasoline motors use a lot of oil and pollute the river,” said Angel Wasump, Kara Solar’s director of operations and a member of the Achuar community. “Since the solar boats arrived, families have been giving up these motors completely,” he added. Formally launched in 2018, Kara Solar is staffed by members of the Achua r community. According to the organization, the boats operating in Ecuador have completed over 300 trips in total, carrying over 1,000 passengers and traveling over 450 kilometers per month. The most common uses are transporting local children to and from school and providing wildlife tours for eco-tourists. As well as reducing carbon emissions and pollution, the silent boats mean eco-tourists can get a closer view of wildlife without scaring it away. “The boat serves as a symbol of what eco-friendliness could look like,” said Wasump. “It’s like a return to what’s most important in Achuar culture. These boats have represented a way for us to reconnect with this vision of what development could look like.” 28. What can we learn about the Achuar from the first two paragraphs? A. They mostly earn their living by fishing. B. They depend much on boats in their lives. C. They are enthusiastic about voluntary work. D. They have little contact with the outside world. 29. What is a reason for the introduction of the solar boats? A. They travel faster. B. They are easy to operate. C. They are cost-effective. D. They carry more passengers. 30. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The features of the solar boats. B. The applications of the solar boats. C. The effects of the solar boats on people’s lives. D. The advantages of the solar boats over traditional ones. 31. What does Wasump intend to stress in the last paragraph? A. Cultural difference. B. Community spirit. C. Environmental awareness. D. Technological development. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，本文主要讲述了在厄瓜多尔亚马逊雨林的一个偏远地区，卡拉太阳能公司为当地阿查乌族社区提供了太阳能船，代替了以前使用汽油发动机的船。太阳能船不仅减少了碳排放和污染，还让游客能够更近距离地观察到野生动物。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The Achuar here are responsible for fixing, running and maintaining the boats — the solar boats are shaping daily life for the community by offering transport for education, health services and eco-tourism.(这里的阿查乌族人负责修理、运行和维护这些船——这些太阳能船通过为教育、卫生服务和生态旅游提供交通工具，正在塑造社区的日常生活)”可知，阿查乌族社区人民的生活很大程度上依赖于船。故选B。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中“For years, many Achuar have used gasoline-powered boats on the river, but the oil must be flown in by plane from Ecuador’s capital, Quito, making it more expensive and adding to the carbon emissions (碳排放) connected with its use.(多年来，许多阿查乌族社区人民在这条河上使用汽油船，但石油必须从厄瓜多尔首都基多（Quito）用飞机运来，这使得石油成本更高，并增加了与使用相关的碳排放)”及““Since the solar boats arrived, families have been giving up these motors completely,” he added.(他补充说：“自从太阳能船抵达后，很多家庭都完全放弃了这些发动机。”)”可知，引进太阳能船的原因之一是它们具有成本效益。故选C。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段中“According to the organization, the boats operating in Ecuador have completed over 300 trips in total, carrying over 1,000 passengers and traveling over 450 kilometers per month. The most common uses are transporting local children to and from school and providing wildlife tours for eco-tourists.(据该组织称，在厄瓜多尔运营的船只总共完成了300多次航行，载客超过1000人，每月航行超过450公里。最常见的用途是接送当地儿童上下学，为生态游客提供野生动物观光)”可知，第四段主要介绍了太阳能船的应用。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中““The boat serves as a symbol of what eco-friendliness could look like,” said Wasump.(“这艘船是生态友好的象征，”Wasump说)”可知，Wasump想强调一种环保意识。故选C。 D About 1 million people use American Sign Language (ASL) as their main way to communicate. ASL is important for children’s development of language. But learning ASL is often not that easy. Statistics show that 98 percent of hearing-impaired (听力受损) people do not receive their education in sign language and 72 percent of families do not communicate by signing. Since nine-out-of-ten children who are born without hearing are born to hearing parents, learning sign language skills are significant for these children and families. Now, a new app makes it easier to learn. Fingerspelling. xyz, an app from Hello Monday — a creative studio — teaches the correct hand positions in real time on web browsers. The app uses people’s webcams to track their hand movements while checking their accuracy (准确性). The app begins by giving the user a series of words and the hand positions for them. Then the app user tries the word and they are given feedback (反馈) until they can properly complete the word. While the app will not make someone fluent in ASL, the creators hope that it will encourage people to take a course on ASL and fingerspelling. The new app is different from other language apps because of the gaming-like technology it uses. This technology offers a more attractive learning experience than the traditionally used methods of learning sign language which include books and videos. It’s important to note that in ASL, fingerspelling is used for names, when there is no sign for a word, or when a person doesn’t know the sign. The game was created together with The American Society for Deaf Children, an organization devoted to bringing families together through sign language, is available for free. The organization also offers online courses and a directory of children’s stories that were translated into ASL. Language is a gift that is too important not to share. 32. What does the author imply in paragraph 2? A. Many people don’t take ASL seriously. B. ASL should be accessible to more people. C. It is too difficult for people to learn ASL. D. ASL enjoys great popularity in the country. 33. How does the app work? A. By recognizing and translating texts. B. By giving and correcting the hand positions. C. By collecting and studying the user’s feedback. D. By tracking and improving the user’s experience. 34. What is special about Fingerspelling. xyz? A. It is convenient for the user to search. B. It includes various books and videos. C. It makes the learning more interesting. D. It is based on face recognition technology. 35. What is the purpose of the text? A. To introduce a product. B. To record an event. C. To recommend a course. D. To comment on an invention. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为Fingerspelling.xyz的新应用程序，它利用类似游戏的技术，帮助用户学习美国手语（ASL）中的手指拼写。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Statistics show that 98 percent of hearing-impaired (听力受损) people do not receive their education in sign language and 72 percent of families do not communicate by signing. Since nine-out-of-ten children who are born without hearing are born to hearing parents, learning sign language skills are significant for these children and families.(统计数据显示，98%的听力受损者没有接受手语教育，72%的家庭不通过手语交流。由于十分之九的先天性失聪儿童出生于听力正常的父母家庭，因此学习手语技能对这些儿童和家庭来说非常重要。)”可知，第二段中作者暗示美国手语应该让更多的人能够接触到。故选B项。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The app uses people’s webcams to track their hand movements while checking their accuracy. (这款应用程序通过使用用户的网络摄像头来追踪他们的手势动作，并检查其准确性。)”以及第四段“The app begins by giving the user a series of words and the hand positions for them. Then the app user tries the word and they are given feedback (反馈) until they can properly complete the word. (这款应用程序首先给用户一系列单词以及相应的手势位置。然后，用户尝试这些单词，并会收到反馈，直到他们能够正确完成这些单词为止。)”可知，这款应用程序是通过给出和纠正手的位置来工作的。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This technology offers a more attractive learning experience than the traditionally used methods of learning sign language which include books and videos.(与传统上使用的包括书籍和视频在内的学习手语的方法相比，这种技术提供了更具吸引力的学习体验。)”可知，Fingerspelling.xyz的特别之处在于它利用类似游戏的技术，让学习变得更有趣。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，本文主要介绍了一款名为Fingerspelling.xyz的新应用程序，它利用类似游戏的技术，帮助用户学习美国手语（ASL）中的手指拼写，所以这篇文章的目的是介绍一款产品。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项是多余选项。 Keeping a schedule can help you manage your time and be productive. _____36_____ With a few graffiti (涂鸦) in your planner or tabs on your screen, you can have an efficient plan for the day in no time.

One of his friends had stopped to make a bicycle repair, but they had encouraged Mac to carry on, and they would catch up with him soon. As Mac pedaled(骑行) along alone, he thought fondly of his wife and two young daughters at home. He hoped to show them this beautiful place someday. Then Mac heard quick and loud breathing behind him. ”Man, that’s a big dog!" he thought. But when he looked to the side, he saw instantly that it wasn’t a dog at all, but a wolf, quickly catching up with him. Mac’s heart jumped. He found out his can of bear spray. With one hand on the bars, he fired the spray at the wolf. A bright red cloud enveloped the animal, and to Mac’s relief, it fell back, shaking its head. But a minute later, it was by his side again. Then it attacked the back of Mac’s bike, tearing open his tent bag. He fired at the wolf a second time, and again, it fell back only to quickly restart the chase(追赶). Mac was pedaling hard now. He waved and yelled at passing cars but was careful not to slow down. He saw a steep uphill climb before him. He knew that once he hit the hill, he’d be easily caught up and the wolf’s teeth would be tearing into his flesh. At this moment, Paul and Becky were driving their car on their way to Alaska. They didn’t think much of it when they saw two cyclists repairing their bike on the side of the road. A bit later, they spotted what they, too, assumed was a dog running alongside a man on a bike. As they got closer, they realized that the dog was a wolf. Mac heard a large vehicle behind him. He pulled in front of it as the wolf was catching up fast, just a dozen yards away now. 注意：1、续写词数应为150个左右; 2、请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The car abruptly stopped in front of him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Mac jumped off his bicycle and rushed to the door of the car. But before Mac could open the door, the wolf had caught up and jumped to attack. Luckily, the magic spray saved Mac a third time. Seeing the wolf back off, Paul quickly unlocked the door, and the frightened man climbed into the car in no time, shutting the door behind him heavily. Becky looked out of the back window and saw the wolf standing over Mac’s bicycle as if it were a kill. Soon after, the animal ran off. Paragraph 2: A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. Mac got out of the car and hugged his friends. “It was really a nightmare and I thought I was going to die,” said Mac in a shaky voice, tears gathering in his eyes. For him, life could never be more beautiful. After saying goodbye to Paul and Becky with gratitude, the three men continued their trip, agreeing never to separate again. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述Mac Hollan在与朋友一起骑行时，一位朋友停下来修自行车，他们鼓励Mac Hollan一个人先骑走，说等会就会赶上来。结果，Mac Hollan不幸遇到了一头狼，在逃生中，遇到了驾车的Paul 和Becky。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这辆车突然停在了他面前。”可知，第一段可描写Paul 和Becky帮助Mac成功逃离狼口的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，其他两位骑行的人也到了。”可知，第二段可描写Mac告诉自己的两位朋友自己死里逃生的经历，表达对Paul 和Becky的感谢以及感悟。 2.续写线索：Mac跳下自行车跑向汽车——狼攻击——Paul和Becky想法救助——Mac安全——遇见朋友并诉说事情的经过——感谢Paul和Becky——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/notice/observe ②拥抱：hug/embrace/hold in arms ③继续：continue/go on/keep on 情绪类 ①感谢：appreciation/gratitude ②害怕的：frightened/horrified 【点睛】[高分句型1] Becky looked out of the back window and saw the wolf standing over Mac’s bicycle as if it were a kill.（由连接词as if引导的状语从句） [高分句型2]“It was really a nightmare and I thought I was going to die,” said Mac in a shaky voice, tears gathering in his eyes.（运用了that引导的宾语从句且省略了that以及非谓语中的独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。I've got fifteen minutes to get home before my favorite show starts dancing with the stars.
