Occasionally, she would join a few friends, a group of runners, who felt excited when crossing finish lines. During their weekly gatherings, her friends would share stories of their latest races with the joy of achievement while Emily would share the latest book she had read. One day, Emily’s friends announced their big challenge: a charity 5K race. They were determined to make it a yearly event, a way to give back to the community and to push their limits. As they excitedly discussed their training plans, she wondered what it would be like to experience that sense of achievement they talked about. Then Emily blurted (脱口而出) out, “Count me in.” The room fell silent, and then erupted into cheers. The weeks leading up to the race flew by in a rush of early morning runs and evenings spent learning about running techniques. Emily’s friends became her coaches, patiently teaching her how to pace herself and breathe properly. It wasn’t easy — her body resisted the new routine, and there were days when every muscle ached, forcing her to collapse onto the sofa. Yet, she never once questioned her decision. Gradually, things started to change. She began to celebrate small victories: the first time she ran a mile without stopping, the day she finished running without walking. Her friends’ constant encouragement kept her going. Then came the race day. Emily stood at the starting line, feeling a sense of belonging, a sense of being part of something larger than herself. The gun fired. She started to run. She felt alive, truly alive, in a way she had never experienced before. As she crossed the finish line, she saw her friends waiting, their faces shining with pride. At that moment, Emily understood the charm of running and the joy in it. She understood the power of challenging herself, of achieving what once seemed impossible. The race was over, but for Emily, a new chapter had begun. 21. How did Emily’s friends feel at her decision at first? A. Interested. B. Surprised. C. Frightened. D. Disappointed. 22. How can we describe Emily? A. Determined. B. Mild. C. Creative. D. Generous. 23 What is the best title for the passage? A. Witnessing Friendship B. Challenging for Leadership C. Crossing the Finish Line D. Dropping Reading for Running B In 1736, Benjamin Franklin came across a phenomenon while working as a clerk for the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful new member didn’t like Franklin and even threatened to make his life difficult. Franklin could have bowed to him and tried to win him over with kind words, but he did something unexpected. Knowing the man owned a rare and valuable book, Franklin asked if he could borrow it for a few days. The man agreed, and Franklin returned it days later with a polite note. “When we next met in the House, he spoke to me, (which he had never done before) and did so politely,” Franklin later recalled. “He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged (恩惠).” This idea became known as the Ben Franklin Effect. In 1969, two psychologists, Jon Jecker and David Landy, ran an experiment. They asked 74 volunteers to take part in a competition where they could win money. After the competition, the volunteers were divided into three groups. In the first group, the lead researcher (who acted a bit annoying) personally asked each competitor to return the money to help him out. In the second group, the office assistant asked the competitors to return the money, saying the department needed it. The third group got to keep their money. Later, the volunteers were asked how much they liked the researcher. Those in the first group had a much more positive impression of him than did those in the third group. The result of the second group suggested that an indirect request for a favor does not endear you to others. But why does this happen? One explanation is cognitive dissonance — the discomfort we feel when we hold two conflicting thoughts. For example, if you think, “I don’t like Joe, but I’m doing him a favor,” your brain solves the conflict by deciding, “Maybe I do like him after all.” Another explanation comes from the desire to build good relationships. Humans are naturally wired to want to help others. 24. Why did Franklin borrow a book from the member? A. To see its value. B. To improve relationship. C. To learn how to be polite. D. To test the member’s character. 25. What decided how much the researcher was liked? A. The group number. B. The amount of money. C The participants’ personality. D. The direct request for a favor. 26. What is the second explanation about? A. Human nature. B. Network opinions. C. Social expectation. D. Conflicting situations. C Have you ever wondered how scientists figure out things about our world-like how stars are born, live, and eventually die? It might seem impossible for humans, who live barely100 years, to understand stars that live for billions of years. But scientists try anyway! Last week, I attended a meeting in Hong Kong where about 60 scientists from around the world gathered to discuss how stars like our sun end their lives. It was a small meeting, and what struck me most was that the scientists argued over data gathered by complex machines that watch the skies for us. But these weren’t the kind of arguments you see on TV or in a debate club. Instead, they were careful discussions focused on uncovering facts and understanding evidence. They were sharp, focused, and all about getting closer to the truth. In school, you might have learned about the scientific method: make a guess, test it with an experiment, and decide if the guess is right or wrong based on the results. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? But the real world of science is a lot messier because it involves people--and people argue. At the meeting we argued about everything. First, we debated whether our telescopes were working as they should. Then, we argued about the data they collected. Did we understand the patterns of light coming from stars correctly? Finally, we debated the theories we used to make sense of the data. Were we missing something important about how stars change over time? All this arguing might sound futile, as if it is pointless, but it’s actually how science moves forward. By challenging each other, scientists help sort out which ideas are worth exploring and which ones don’t make sense. No single person has all the answers, but together, scientists can figure out what questions really matter. Here’s the most important thing about science: in the end, it’s not about who argues the best. It’s about the data. For example, when scientists debated whether the earth orbits the sun, it was the evidence from nature that finally settled the argument. That’s why science is so powerful. 27. What impressed the author greatly at the meeting? A. Data collection. B. People’s courage. C. Lifecycles of the stars. D. The scientists’ arguments. 28. Why is the scientific method in school mentioned? A. To explain the formula. B. To show real science is more complex. C. To highlight its importance for students. D. To involve readers in the previous schooling. 29. What does the underlined word in paragraph 5 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Satisfactory. C. Fruitless. D. Sharp. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Nature has the final say. B. Date collection is hard. C. Scientists should debate more. D. Human creativity is unlimited. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 After an afternoon of collecting leaves or pulling wild grass from your garden, you may wonder how much all that activity counts toward your daily exercise quota (定额). _____31_____ “Many yard and garden tasks require enough effort to count as medium-intensity exercise,” says Dr. I-Min Lee, a professor at Harvard Medical School.

There’s even evidence that gardening can reduce stress and anxiety. _____34_____ This makes gardening an effective approach to well-being. “If you enjoy gardening and yard work, it can be a good way to meet your exercise goals,” says Dr. Lee. “_____35_____ In this way, you are more likely to stick to them consistently.” A. The answer is no. B. They also increased physical activity levels. C. Such changes help lower the risk of heart disease. D. You can meet that goal doing garden or yard work. E.

Jack was the adventurous type, always running around with his friends, playing football or exploring the woods. Lily, on the other hand, was quieter, preferring to spend her time with her books and her dolls. However, she was quite thoughtful and always looked out for the whole family. She often helped her parents with housework, made her mom a cup of tea when she was tired, and kept an eye on her brother, Jack. Jack had a group of close friends. They would seldom include Lily in their games — not because they disliked her, but because they thought she was too young and too different to join their adventures. This made Lily feel left out and sad, as she desired to be a part of her brother’s world. One strange thing about Jack was that whenever he was upset, the next day he would find a single coin in his pocket. It puzzled him. He couldn’t explain where they came from. Whenever he asked his parents about it, they just smiled. One day, Jack’s best friend moved away to another city. Jack was sad. He had spent countless hours with him, and the thought of not having him around was heartbreaking. That evening, when he came home, he was in no mood to be around anyone, not even Lily. She tried to comfort him, but in his sadness, Jack shouted at her, and his sharp words sent Lily running to her room in tears. Feeling sorry but still upset, Jack went to his room, leaving Lily to cry alone. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 开头已给出。 The next morning, as Jack got dressed, he felt something in his pocket. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the truth from his parents, Jack believed he should do something. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 唐山市2024-2025学年度高二年级第一学期期末考试 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When does the man prefer to go shopping?

He decided it was time for an adventure. He had always been fascinated by Chinese culture, history and food. So he packed a backpack, brought just enough money and started a journey through China. At first, everything was unfamiliar. Tom didn’t speak the language and often got lost in the busy streets of cities like Beijing. But every challenge helped him learn something new. He figured out how to use a map, made new friends who helped him along the way, and found quiet beauty in the moments watching the sun rise over the Great Wall. One evening, while sitting by a campfire in the mountains of Yunnan, Tom thought about his journey. He felt proud. He realized that the trip wasn’t just about the places he visited, but about the way he grew as a person. His backpack, which once felt heavy with all his things, now felt light, filled with unforgettable memories and a deep sense of freedom. 第二部分阅读（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Emily had always been satisfied with her quiet life, reading books. Occasionally, she would join a few friends, a group of runners, who felt excited when crossing finish lines. During their weekly gatherings, her friends would share stories of their latest races with the joy of achievement while Emily would share the latest book she had read. One day, Emily’s friends announced their big challenge: a charity 5K race. They were determined to make it a yearly event, a way to give back to the community and to push their limits. As they excitedly discussed their training plans, she wondered what it would be like to experience that sense of achievement they talked about. Then Emily blurted (脱口而出) out, “Count me in.” The room fell silent, and then erupted into cheers. The weeks leading up to the race flew by in a rush of early morning runs and evenings spent learning about running techniques. Emily’s friends became her coaches, patiently teaching her how to pace herself and breathe properly. It wasn’t easy — her body resisted the new routine, and there were days when every muscle ached, forcing her to collapse onto the sofa. Yet, she never once questioned her decision. Gradually, things started to change. She began to celebrate small victories: the first time she ran a mile without stopping, the day she finished running without walking. Her friends’ constant encouragement kept her going. Then came the race day. Emily stood at the starting line, feeling a sense of belonging, a sense of being part of something larger than herself. The gun fired. She started to run. She felt alive, truly alive, in a way she had never experienced before. As she crossed the finish line, she saw her friends waiting, their faces shining with pride. At that moment, Emily understood the charm of running and the joy in it. She understood the power of challenging herself, of achieving what once seemed impossible. The race was over, but for Emily, a new chapter had begun. 21. How did Emily’s friends feel at her decision at first? A. Interested. B. Surprised. C. Frightened. D. Disappointed. 22. How can we describe Emily? A. Determined. B. Mild. C. Creative. D. Generous. 23. What is the best title for the passage? A. Witnessing Friendship B. Challenging for Leadership C. Crossing the Finish Line D. Dropping Reading for Running 【答案】21. B 22. A 23. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲述了Emily原本满足于安静的读书生活，但在朋友的影响下，决定挑战自己参加慈善5K赛跑的故事。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As they excitedly discussed their training plans, she wondered what it would be like to experience that sense of achievement they talked about. Then Emily blurted (脱口而出) out, “Count me in.” The room fell silent, and then erupted into cheers.(当他们兴奋地讨论他们的训练计划时，她想知道体验他们所说的那种成就感会是什么感觉。然后Emily脱口而出：“算我一个。”房间里鸦雀无声，然后爆发出欢呼声)”可知，当Emily刚宣布决定的时候，朋友们鸦雀无声，所以应是感到惊讶的。故选B项。 【22题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The weeks leading up to the race flew by in a rush of early morning runs and evenings spent learning about running techniques. Emily’s friends became her coaches, patiently teaching her how to pace herself and breathe properly. It wasn’t easy — her body resisted the new routine, and there were days when every muscle ached, forcing her to collapse onto the sofa. Yet, she never once questioned her decision.(比赛前的几周在清晨的跑步和晚上学习跑步技巧的忙碌中飞逝而过。Emily的朋友们成了她的教练，耐心地教她如何控制节奏和正确呼吸。这并不容易——她的身体抗拒着新的日常安排，有些日子里，每一块肌肉都在疼痛，迫使她瘫倒在沙发上。然而，她从未质疑过自己的决定)”可知，训练很苦，但是Emily从未放弃，所以是有决心的。故选A项。 【23题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As she crossed the finish line, she saw her friends waiting, their faces shining with pride. At that moment, Emily understood the charm of running and the joy in it. She understood the power of challenging herself, of achieving what once seemed impossible. The race was over, but for Emily, a new chapter had begun.(当她冲过终点线时，她看到她的朋友们在等着，他们的脸上洋溢着自豪。在那一刻，艾米丽明白了跑步的魅力和其中的乐趣。她懂得挑战自我的力量，懂得实现曾经看似不可能的事情的力量。比赛结束了，但对艾米丽来说，新的篇章已经开始了)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要讲述Emily在朋友的影响下，决定挑战自己参加慈善5K赛跑的故事，并在最终过终点线时明白了跑步的魅力和其中的乐趣，所以C项“冲过终点线”是本文最好的标题。故选C项。 B In 1736, Benjamin Franklin came across a phenomenon while working as a clerk for the Pennsylvania Assembly. A powerful new member didn’t like Franklin and even threatened to make his life difficult. Franklin could have bowed to him and tried to win him over with kind words, but he did something unexpected. Knowing the man owned a rare and valuable book, Franklin asked if he could borrow it for a few days. The man agreed, and Franklin returned it days later with a polite note. “When we next met in the House, he spoke to me, (which he had never done before) and did so politely,” Franklin later recalled. “He that has once done you a kindness will be more ready to do you another, than he whom you yourself have obliged (恩惠).” This idea became known as the Ben Franklin Effect. In 1969, two psychologists, Jon Jecker and David Landy, ran an experiment. They asked 74 volunteers to take part in a competition where they could win money. After the competition, the volunteers were divided into three groups. In the first group, the lead researcher (who acted a bit annoying) personally asked each competitor to return the money to help him out. In the second group, the office assistant asked the competitors to return the money, saying the department needed it. The third group got to keep their money. Later, the volunteers were asked how much they liked the researcher. Those in the first group had a much more positive impression of him than did those in the third group. The result of the second group suggested that an indirect request for a favor does not endear you to others. But why does this happen? One explanation is cognitive dissonance — the discomfort we feel when we hold two conflicting thoughts. For example, if you think, “I don’t like Joe, but I’m doing him a favor,” your brain solves the conflict by deciding, “Maybe I do like him after all.” Another explanation comes from the desire to build good relationships. Humans are naturally wired to want to help others. 24. Why did Franklin borrow a book from the member? A. To see its value. B. To improve relationship. C. To learn how to be polite. D. To test the member’s character. 25. What decided how much the researcher was liked? A. The group number. B. The amount of money. C. The participants’ personality. D. The direct request for a favor. 26. What is the second explanation about? A. Human nature. B. Network opinions. C. Social expectation. D. Conflicting situations. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了“富兰克林效应”和相关的一个研究以及对该效应的解释。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“A powerful new member didn’t like Franklin(一位有权势的新成员不喜欢富兰克林)”和第二段中“When we next met in the House, he spoke to me, (which he had never done before) and did so politely(当我们再次在众议院见面时，他和我说话（他以前从来没有这样做过），而且非常礼貌)”可知，一开始那位新成员不喜欢富兰克林，富兰克林借书归还后那位成员变得非常礼貌，由此推知富兰克林借书是为了改进他们的关系，故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In the first group, the lead researcher (who acted a bit annoying) personally asked each competitor to return the money to help him out.(在第一组中，首席研究员（他的行为有点令人讨厌）亲自要求每个参赛者归还钱来帮助他)”和“Those in the first group had a much more positive impression of him than did those in the third group. The result of the second group suggested that an indirect request for a favor does not endear you to others.(第一组的人比第三组的人对他的印象要积极得多。第二组的结果表明，间接地请求帮助不会让你变得更亲近)”可知，第一组中首席研究员亲自要求每个参赛者归还钱来帮助他，结果表明第一组的人对他的印象要积极得多，且研究员间接的请求不会让别人更喜欢他，由此推知直接请求帮助决定了这位研究员被喜欢的程度，故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Another explanation comes from the desire to build good relationships. Humans are naturally wired to want to help others.(另一种解释来自于建立良好关系的愿望。人类天生就想要帮助别人)”可知，第二个解释和人性有关，故选A。 C Have you ever wondered how scientists figure out things about our world-like how stars are born live, and eventually die? It might seem impossible for humans, who live barely100 years, to understand stars that live for billions of years. But scientists try anyway! Last week, I attended a meeting in Hong Kong where about 60 scientists from around the world gathered to discuss how stars like our sun end their lives. It was a small meeting, and what struck me most was that the scientists argued over data gathered by complex machines that watch the skies for us. But these weren’t the kind of arguments you see on TV or in a debate club. Instead, they were careful discussions focused on uncovering facts and understanding evidence. They were sharp, focused, and all about getting closer to the truth. In school, you might have learned about the scientific method: make a guess, test it with an experiment, and decide if the guess is right or wrong based on the results. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? But the real world of science is a lot messier because it involves people--and people argue. At the meeting, we argued about everything. First, we debated whether our telescopes were working as they should. Then, we argued about the data they collected. Did we understand the patterns of light coming from stars correctly? Finally, we debated the theories we used to make sense of the data. Were we missing something important about how stars change over time? All this arguing might sound futile, as if it is pointless, but it’s actually how science moves forward. By challenging each other, scientists help sort out which ideas are worth exploring and which ones don’t make sense. No single person has all the answers, but together, scientists can figure out what questions really matter. Here’s the most important thing about science: in the end, it’s not about who argues the best. It’s about the data. For example, when scientists debated whether the earth orbits the sun, it was the evidence from nature that finally settled the argument. That’s why science is so powerful. 27. What impressed the author greatly at the meeting? A. Data collection. B. People’s courage. C. Lifecycles of the stars. D. The scientists’ arguments. 28. Why is the scientific method in school mentioned? A. To explain the formula. B. To show real science is more complex. C. To highlight its importance for students. D. To involve readers in the previous schooling. 29. What does the underlined word in paragraph 5 mean? A. Reasonable. B. Satisfactory. C. Fruitless. D. Sharp. 30. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Nature has the final say. B. Date collection is hard. C. Scientists should debate more. D. Human creativity is unlimited. 【答案】27. D 28. B 29. C 30. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章讲述作者参加科学家探讨恒星生命终结的会议的经历，论述科学家的争论对科学发展的意义，强调科学最终取决于数据和自然证据。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Last week, I attended a meeting in Hong Kong where about 60 scientists from around the world gathered to discuss how stars like our sun end their lives. It was a small meeting, and what struck me most was that the scientists argued over data gathered by complex machines that watch the skies for us.(上周，我在香港参加了一个会议，来自世界各地约60位科学家聚集在一起，讨论像我们太阳这样的恒星是如何结束它们的生命的。这是一个小型会议，最让我印象深刻的是，科学家们就那些为我们观测天空的复杂机器收集的数据展开了争论)”可知，会议上最让作者印象深刻的是科学家们的争论。故选D项。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In school, you might have learned about the scientific method: make a guess, test it with an experiment, and decide if the guess is right or wrong based on the results. That sounds pretty simple, doesn’t it? But the real world of science is a lot messier because it involves people-and people argue.(在学校里，你可能学过科学方法：先做一个猜测，用实验来验证它，然后根据结果判断这个猜测是对还是错。这听起来很简单，不是吗?但现实世界的科学要复杂得多，因为它涉及到人——而人会争论)”可知，提到学校里的科学方法是为了对比说明现实中的科学更复杂。故选B项。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“All this arguing might sound futile, as if it is pointless, but it’s actually how science moves forward.(所有这些争论可能听起来futile，好像毫无意义，但实际上这就是科学前进的方式)”中“as if it is pointless”可推知，“futile”的意思是“徒劳的，无用的”，与“Fruitless”同义。故选C项。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“Here’s the most important thing about science: in the end, it’s not about who argues the best. It’s about the data. For example, when scientists debated whether the earth orbits the sun, it was the evidence from nature that finally settled the argument.(关于科学，最重要的一点是：最终，重要的不是谁辩论得最好。重要的是数据。例如，当科学家们争论地球是否绕着太阳转时，是来自大自然的证据最终解决了这场争论)”可知，最后一段主要说明在科学中，重要的是数据，要依靠来自大自然的证据来解决问题，即自然才有最终的决定权。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 After an afternoon of collecting leaves or pulling wild grass from your garden, you may wonder how much all that activity counts toward your daily exercise quota (定额). _____31_____ “Many yard and garden tasks require enough effort to count as medium-intensity exercise,” says Dr. I-Min Lee, a professor at Harvard Medical School. And the U.S. physical activity guidelines call for doing at least 150 minutes per week of medium-intensity exercise. _____32_____ You can spread it out over the week or focus on just two days during the weekend. _____33_____ Several yard and garden tasks — digging holes, shoveling soil, or bagging fallen leaves, for example — strengthen various muscles. Besides, gardening or yard work, like walking, swimming, and dancing, has a low rate of injuries when compared with higher-intensity activities such as running. There’s even evidence that gardening can reduce stress and anxiety. _____34_____ This makes gardening an effective approach to well-being. “If you enjoy gardening and yard work, it can be a good way to meet your exercise goals,” says Dr. Lee. “_____35_____ In this way, you are more likely to stick to them consistently.” A The answer is no. B. They also increased physical activity levels. C. Such changes help lower the risk of heart disease. D. You can meet that goal doing garden or yard work. E.

Jack was the adventurous type, always running around with his friends, playing football or exploring the woods. Lily, on the other hand, was quieter, preferring to spend her time with her books and her dolls. However, she was quite thoughtful and always looked out for the whole family. She often helped her parents with housework, made her mom a cup of tea when she was tired, and kept an eye on her brother, Jack. Jack had a group of close friends. They would seldom include Lily in their games — not because they disliked her, but because they thought she was too young and too different to join their adventures. This made Lily feel left out and sad, as she desired to be a part of her brother’s world. One strange thing about Jack was that whenever he was upset, the next day he would find a single coin in his pocket. It puzzled him. He couldn’t explain where they came from. Whenever he asked his parents about it, they just smiled. One day, Jack’s best friend moved away to another city. Jack was sad. He had spent countless hours with him, and the thought of not having him around was heartbreaking. That evening, when he came home, he was in no mood to be around anyone, not even Lily. She tried to comfort him, but in his sadness, Jack shouted at her, and his sharp words sent Lily running to her room in tears. Feeling sorry but still upset, Jack went to his room, leaving Lily to cry alone. 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 开头已给出。 The next morning, as Jack got dressed, he felt something in his pocket. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Knowing the truth from his parents, Jack believed he should do something. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, as Jack got dressed, he felt something in his pocket. He reached in and pulled out a coin, just like before. But this time, he was determined to solve the mystery. He remembered his outburst at Lily the previous day and felt a pang of guilt. As he held the coin, an idea struck him. Maybe Lily knew something about these coins. He decided to ask her. Knowing the truth from his parents, Jack believed he should do something. He went straight to Lily’s room, looking a bit ashamed. “Lily,” he said softly, “I’m so sorry for shouting at you. And I know now that you’ve been leaving these coins for me when I’m sad.” Lily looked up, surprised. Jack continued, “You’re so kind, and I was wrong to leave you out. From now on, you’re part of my gang. We’ll play together, and I’ll always look out for you, just like you do for me.” A big smile spread across Lily’s face. From that day on, Jack made sure Lily was included in all his activities, and the two siblings became closer than ever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了性格迥异的杰克和妹妹莉莉的故事。杰克好动爱冒险，莉莉安静体贴。杰克的朋友因莉莉年幼且性格不同，不让她参与游戏，使莉莉倍感失落。杰克难过时口袋总会莫名出现硬币，令他困惑不已。在好友搬走后，杰克情绪低落，冲试图安慰他的莉莉发火。次日，杰克再得硬币，愧疚之余决心探寻真相。从父母处知晓原委后，他向莉莉道歉，接纳她参与自己的活动，从此兄妹关系愈发亲密。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，杰克穿衣服时，他感到口袋里有东西。”可知，第一段可描写杰克从口袋里又掏出一枚硬币以及他决定弄清实情的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“从父母那里得知真相后，杰克认为他应该做点什么。”可知，第二段可描写杰克向妹妹莉莉道歉以及决定今后和莉莉一起玩。 2.续写线索：感到口袋里有东西——决定弄清实情——从父母那里得知真相——向妹妹莉莉道歉——决定今后和莉莉一起玩——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定做某事：was determined to do/decided to do ②.突然想到：struck/occurred to ③.照料：look out for/care for 情绪类 ①.感到惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②.惭愧的，内疚的：ashamed/compunctious 【点睛】[高分句型1].
