B One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 24. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____. A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 25. The book caught the author’s eye because_____. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author has become a successful writer. B. The author’s mother read the same book. C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since. 27. Which one could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading C Solar cells play an important role in the shift towards a greener future, with an increasing number of buildings and rooftops worldwide being fitted with solar panels. However, their large size can be a limitation. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a technique to produce incredibly lightweight solar cells that can be placed on a variety of surfaces. These solar cells are made from nanomaterials using a kind of electronic ink. Their thinness allows them to be applied to many different surfaces, such as being placed on the wings of drones (无人机) to prolong their battery life. These cells are thinner than human hair, yet they are capable of producing approximately 18 times more power per kilogram compared to traditional solar panels. A problem that researchers are addressing before these solar cells can be mass-produced is how to protect the solar cells from oxygen and moisture (湿气). While traditional solar cells are protected by glass, adding such a layer would remove the major advantage of the new ultra-thin solar cells. Scientists are currently exploring alternative protective measures. Australia is also witnessing notable progress in this field. During the “Charge Around Australia” project, scientists drove around the country in a Tesla that was powered only by solar panels on a three-month journey. These solar panels were stored in the vehicle’s trunk and provided power if necessary. 28. What is the main advantage of the new solar cells developed by MIT scientists? A They are diverse in form. B. They are more affordable to produce. C. They are protected by a layer of glass. D. They are flexible and generate more power. 29. What challenge do scientists face before these solar cells can be mass-produced? A. To extend the battery life. B. To make them absorb more energy. C. To guard them against oxygen and moisture. D. To get rid of size and geographical limitation. 30. What most probably makes glass improper as a protective layer? A. Its cost. B. Its weight. C. Its structure. D. Its breakability. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Solar panels have been widely used in vehicles around the world. B Australia relied on a network of charging stations in the project. C. Significant innovation was made in solar technology in Australia. D. The Tesla was charged using traditional power outlets in the project. D Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity. 32 Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on the art of writing. C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A review of modern paintings. 33. What are the selected artworks about? A. Wealth and intellect. B. Home and school. C. Books and reading. D. Work and leisure. 34. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Understand. B. Paint. C. Seize. D. Transform. 35. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A. The printed book is not totally out of date. B. Technology has changed the way we read. C Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D. People now rarely have the patience to read. 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。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.

I wanted to stay at home and play my favourite games. I wanted to listen to some music and then play football with my friends. I wanted to hang out with my friends and watch a movie. I wanted to enjoy a big meal in the restaurant and chat with my friends till midnight. At 7:30, Dad was again shouting at me to get up. So, I got up, put some casual clothes on and lay in the sofa in the sitting room for a little bit. My dad walked in, urging me to put on some nice clothes that were suitable for me to walk around in on such a hot day. I asked, "Why should I do that? I won't go out. I'm just staying at home. I have a lot of businesses to deal with.,, Looking me directly in the eyes, Dad told me something about the place called Give Kids the World. It was designed for the families to spend a vacation with their children who had a very serious illness. About four years ago, my dad became a volunteer, doing several jobs there, including serving food and giving gifts. I thought that would be very boring, but Dad insisted that I should go with him, promising that I would like it. Though I was unwilling, I still got dressed and went into the car. Dad drove me to a village not very far from our community. When we arrived at the storehouse in the middle of the village, there were already some people sorting out the food and gifts. We immediately joined them, putting the food into boxes and the gifts on the back of a cart. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Dad told me that we were going to deliver a toy to every child from door to door in the village. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once back in that cart, Dad told me that they all had a life-threatening illness and that they might not live to see tomorrow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 华清中学高二年级期末训练考 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 做题时，请先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What color is Amy’s hair?

The race set off from Lorient, France on may twenty nine, twenty, twenty one. Teams of six to 10 people spent 22 days sailing the Atlantic ocean and the Mediterranean sea to the finish line in genoa, Italy. That’s where the race ended on June 18, 2021. Two classes of speedy sailboats raced in the event. The IMOCA and the the VO65 offshore team Germany won the IMOCA class race, and Portugal’s Mercpuri foundation racing team won the VO65 class. The ocean race Europe presented plenty of challenges. Teams were on their boats for three straight weeks when you were on board. All you do was race, eat and sleep. There was no Internet connection and there were no movies. There wasn’t even a fridge or a freezer inside the boat. The ocean race Europe has a larger purpose. During the race, the boats collected scientific data from the salty Waters. The data is shared with scientists. It provides insight about how the ocean is affected by climate change. Scientists use the data to further understand and advocate the world’s changing environment and seas. 第二部分 阅读（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） 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 Choice of Walks for Beginner and Experienced Walkers The Carlow Autumn Walking Festival is a great opportunity for the beginner, experienced or advanced walker to enjoy the challenges of Carlow’s mountain hikes or the peace of its woodland walks.

This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle. There on the book’s cover was a beagle which looked identical to my dog. I ran my fingers over the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the title, Amos, the Beagle with a Plan. Unknowingly, I had read the title. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty. Though pages were turned slowly, I got the main idea of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. That dog was my dog, and I was the little boy in the book. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion, on and on, until my own lost dog and I were, in my mind, running together. My mother’s call returned me to the real world. I suddenly realized something: I had read a book, and I had loved reading that book. Everyone knew I could not read. But I had read it. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. I never told my mother about my “miraculous” (奇迹般地) experience that summer, but she saw a slow but remarkable improvement in my classroom performance during the next year. And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction. The power of the words has held. 24. The author’s mother told him to borrow a book in order to_____. A. encourage him to do more walking B. let him spend a meaningful summer C. help cure him of his reading problem D. make him learn more about weapons 25. The book caught the author’s eye because_____. A. it contained pretty pictures of animals B. it reminded him of his own dog C. he found its title easy to understand D. he liked children’s stories very much 26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The author has become a successful writer. B. The author’s mother read the same book. C. The author’s mother rewarded him with books. D. The author has had happy summers ever since. 27. Which one could be the best title of the passage? A. The Charm of a Book B. Mum’s Strict Order C. Reunion with My Beagle D. My Passion for Reading 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者在12岁时被母亲要求去图书馆借书并意外爱上阅读的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“One day when I was 12, my mother gave me an order: I was to walk to the public library, and borrow at least one book for the summer. This was one more weapon for her to defeat my strange problem — inability to read.(在我12岁的某一天，母亲给我下了一道命令：我必须步行去公共图书馆，至少要为暑假借一本书。这是她用来攻克我的一个奇怪难题——阅读障碍——的又一武器)”可知，作者的母亲让他借书是为了帮助他解决阅读障碍。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room.” I sat down on the floor and pulled a few books off the shelf at random. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of a beagle. I had recently had a beagle, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was my secret sharer, but one morning, he was gone, given away to someone who had the space and the money to care for him. I never forgot my beagle.(在图书馆里，我找到了通往“儿童阅览室”的路。我随地而坐，随意地从书架上取下几本书。一本书的封面吸引了我的目光。上面画着一只比格犬。我最近养了一只比格犬，它是我童年时第一个也是唯一一个动物伙伴。它是我的秘密分享者，但有一天早晨，它不见了，被送给了那些有空间和金钱照顾它的人。我从未忘记过我的比格犬)”可知，这本书的封面有一只和作者之前养的狗一模一样的比格犬，这勾起了他对自己的狗的回忆，因此吸引了他的注意。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“And years later, she was proud that her son had read thousands of books, was awarded a PhD in literature, and authored his own books, articles, poetry and fiction.

Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them.(母亲的呼唤把我拉回了现实世界。我突然意识到一件事：我读了一本书，并且我爱上了读这本书。每个人都知道我不能阅读。但我读完了它。书籍可以无比美妙，我要继续读下去)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者小时候因为阅读障碍而不喜欢阅读，但在母亲的要求下去图书馆借书时，偶然发现了一本书，这本书让他想起了自己小时候养的比格犬，从而激发了他对阅读的兴趣，进而爱上了阅读，并最终成为作家。由此可知，文章主要讲述了书的魅力。故选A。 C Solar cells play an important role in the shift towards a greener future, with an increasing number of buildings and rooftops worldwide being fitted with solar panels. However, their large size can be a limitation. A team of researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) has developed a technique to produce incredibly lightweight solar cells that can be placed on a variety of surfaces. These solar cells are made from nanomaterials using a kind of electronic ink. Their thinness allows them to be applied to many different surfaces, such as being placed on the wings of drones (无人机) to prolong their battery life. These cells are thinner than human hair, yet they are capable of producing approximately 18 times more power per kilogram compared to traditional solar panels. A problem that researchers are addressing before these solar cells can be mass-produced is how to protect the solar cells from oxygen and moisture (湿气). While traditional solar cells are protected by glass, adding such a layer would remove the major advantage of the new ultra-thin solar cells. Scientists are currently exploring alternative protective measures. Australia is also witnessing notable progress in this field. During the “Charge Around Australia” project, scientists drove around the country in a Tesla that was powered only by solar panels on a three-month journey. These solar panels were stored in the vehicle’s trunk and provided power if necessary. 28. What is the main advantage of the new solar cells developed by MIT scientists? A. They are diverse in form. B. They are more affordable to produce. C. They are protected by a layer of glass. D. They are flexible and generate more power. 29. What challenge do scientists face before these solar cells can be mass-produced? A. To extend the battery life. B. To make them absorb more energy. C. To guard them against oxygen and moisture. D. To get rid of size and geographical limitation. 30. What most probably makes glass improper as a protective layer? A. Its cost. B. Its weight. C. Its structure. D. Its breakability. 31. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Solar panels have been widely used in vehicles around the world. B. Australia relied on a network of charging stations in the project. C. Significant innovation was made in solar technology in Australia. D. The Tesla was charged using traditional power outlets in the project. 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了麻省理工学院（MIT）的研究人员开发的一种新型的太阳能电池。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“Their thinness allows them to be applied to many different surfaces, such as being placed on the wings of drones (无人机) to prolong their battery life. These cells are thinner than human hair, yet they are capable of producing approximately 18 times more power per kilogram compared to traditional solar panels.(它们的轻薄使其可以应用于许多不同的表面，例如放置在无人机的机翼上以延长其电池寿命。这些电池比人的头发还薄，但每公斤它们产生的能量是传统太阳能电池板的18倍。)”可知，新型太阳能电池的优点是灵活, 可以应用于许多不同的表面并且发电效率高, 产生的能量是传统太阳能电池板的18倍。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“A problem that researchers are addressing before these solar cells can be mass-produced is how to protect the solar cells from oxygen and moisture (湿气). (在这些太阳能电池能够批量生产之前，研究人员正在解决的一个问题是如何保护太阳能电池不受氧气和水分的影响。)”可知，研究人员面临的挑战是在这些太阳能电池大规模生产之前如何保护它们不被氧气和湿气侵蚀。故选C项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“While traditional solar cells are protected by glass, adding such a layer would remove the major advantage of the new ultra-thin solar cells.( 虽然传统的太阳能电池是由玻璃保护的，但增加这样一层将会消除这种新型超薄太阳能电池的主要优势。)”可知，传统的太阳能电池是用玻璃来保护的，但是这样做会消除新型的超薄太阳能电池的主要优势。由此可推知，玻璃作为保护层不合适的原因是其重量。故选B项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“During the “Charge Around Australia” project, scientists drove around the country in a Tesla that was powered only by solar panels on a three-month journey. These solar panels were stored in the vehicle’s trunk and provided power if necessary.( 在“环游澳大利亚充电”项目中，科学家们驾驶一辆仅由太阳能电池板供电的特斯拉在全国各地行驶了三个月。这些太阳能电池板储存在汽车的后备箱里，必要时提供电力。)”可知，在“环游澳大利亚充电”项目中，科学家们驾驶着一辆由太阳能电池供电的特斯拉汽车进行为期三个月的绕国旅行。由此可推知，澳大利亚在这方面取得了显著的创新。故选C项。 D Reading Art: Art for Book Lovers is a celebration of an everyday object — the book, represented here in almost three hundred artworks from museums around the world. The image of the reader appears throughout history, in art made long before books as we now know them came into being. In artists’ representations of books and reading, we see moments of shared humanity that go beyond culture and time. In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. Adults are portrayed (描绘) alone in many settings and poses —absorbed in a volume, deep in thought or lost in a moment of leisure. These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments we can all relate to. Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect (才智), wealth or faith of the subject. Before the wide use of the printing press, books were treasured objects and could be works of art in their own right. More recently, as books have become inexpensive or even throwaway, artists have used them as the raw material for artworks — transforming covers, pages or even complete volumes into paintings and sculptures. Continued developments in communication technologies were once believed to make the printed page outdated. From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. To serve its function, a book must be activated by a user: the cover opened, the pages parted, the contents reviewed, perhaps notes written down or words underlined. And in contrast to our increasingly networked lives where the information we consume is monitored and tracked, a printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity. 32. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. An introduction to a book. B. An essay on the art of writing. C. A guidebook to a museum. D. A review of modern paintings. 33 What are the selected artworks about? A. Wealth and intellect. B. Home and school. C. Books and reading. D. Work and leisure. 34. What do the underlined words “relate to” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Understand. B. Paint. C. Seize. D. Transform. 35. What does the author want to say by mentioning the e-reader? A. The printed book is not totally out of date. B. Technology has changed the way we read. C. Our lives in the 21st century are networked. D. People now rarely have the patience to read. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章是对一本书的介绍，主要介绍了印刷书籍和阅读对人类的重要意义。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。In this “book of books,” artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. (在这本“书之书”中，艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系)”以及第三段“Books themselves may be used symbolically in paintings to demonstrate the intellect, wealth or faith of the subject. (书籍本身可以在绘画中象征性地用来展示智慧，主体的财富或信仰)”和最后一段“From a 21st-century point of view, the printed book is certainly ancient, but it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader. (从21世纪的角度来看，这本印刷书无疑是古老的，但它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性)”可推知，本文最有可能出自一本印刷书的扉页，即对该书的介绍。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章第二段“artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. (艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点)”可知，选定的艺术品是关于书籍和阅读的。故选C。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“artworks are selected and arranged in a way that emphasizes these connections between different eras and cultures. We see scenes of children learning to read at home or at school, with the book as a focus for relations between the generations. (艺术品的选择和排列方式强调了不同时代和文化之间的联系。我们看到孩子们在家里或学校学习阅读的场景，这本书是几代人之间关系的焦点)”以及“These scenes may have been painted hundreds of years ago, but they record moments (这些场景可能是数百年前绘制的，但它们记录了一些时刻)”可推知，此处指书籍是人类之间相互联系和理解的纽带，故与画线短语“relate to”意思最相近的为A项“理解、认识到”。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。通过文章最后一段“it remains as interactive as any battery-powered e-reader (它仍然像任何电池供电的电子阅读器一样具有互动性)”以及“printed book still offers the chance of a wholly private, “off-line” activity (印刷书籍仍然提供了完全私人的“离线”活动的机会)”可推知，本文作者提到电子阅读器想表达的是印刷书籍并没有完全过时。故选A。 【点睛】 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。 A Few Tips for Self-Acceptance We all want it… to accept and love ourselves.

I wanted to stay at home and play my favourite games. I wanted to listen to some music and then play football with my friends. I wanted to hang out with my friends and watch a movie. I wanted to enjoy a big meal in the restaurant and chat with my friends till midnight. At 7:30, Dad was again shouting at me to get up. So, I got up, put some casual clothes on and lay in the sofa in the sitting room for a little bit. My dad walked in, urging me to put on some nice clothes that were suitable for me to walk around in on such a hot day. I asked, "Why should I do that? I won't go out. I'm just staying at home. I have a lot of businesses to deal with.,, Looking me directly in the eyes, Dad told me something about the place called Give Kids the World. It was designed for the families to spend a vacation with their children who had a very serious illness. About four years ago, my dad became a volunteer, doing several jobs there, including serving food and giving gifts. I thought that would be very boring, but Dad insisted that I should go with him, promising that I would like it. Though I was unwilling, I still got dressed and went into the car. Dad drove me to a village not very far from our community. When we arrived at the storehouse in the middle of the village, there were already some people sorting out the food and gifts. We immediately joined them, putting the food into boxes and the gifts on the back of a cart. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then, Dad told me that we were going to deliver a toy to every child from door to door in the village. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Once back in that cart, Dad told me that they all had a life-threatening illness and that they might not live to see tomorrow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Then Dad told me that we were going to deliver a toy to every child from door to door in the village. We came to the first house and a woman answered the door. Sitting in the middle of the living room was a little boy in a wheelchair. I gave him the gift, and his face lit up with joy. In another house, I met a girl who was deaf and only partially sighted. Seeing the gift, she got excited and made a sign with her hands, which, her mom said, was the sign for thanks. Once back in that cart, Dad told me that they all had a life-threatening illness and that they might not live to see tomorrow. Suddenly, I realized I should be more thankful that I didn't have these illnesses. I no longer want to enjoy myself at home, play football or watch movies with my friends. I now go to the village regularly and I have even taken my friends along. We would much rather be doing this, seeing things that not a lot of people really get to see and making a difference in these kids' lives. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和爸爸去乡下进行志愿服务的故事，作者从开始的不情愿逐渐懂得了一个道理：珍惜自己的健康，并学会感恩。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，爸爸告诉我，我们要在村里挨家挨户给每个孩子运送玩具。”可知，第一段可描写作者和爸爸挨家挨户送玩具的过程，见到了身体有疾病的小男孩和小女孩。 ②由第二段首句内容“父亲回到那辆车后，告诉我，他们都患有威胁生命的疾病，他们都可能活不到明天。”可知，第二段可描写作者听到爸爸的话后，意识到应该珍惜并感恩自己健康的身体，并决定以后定期来这里陪伴这些小朋友。 2.续写线索：送玩具——见面——感悟——感恩——帮助 3.词汇激活 行为类 送玩具：deliver a toy /hand out a toy 见面：meet/make acquaintance with 帮助：help/give sb a hand 情绪类 感悟：realize/be aware of 感恩：gratitude/grateful 【点睛】[高分句型1] Sitting in the middle of the living room was a little boy in a wheelchair.（地点状语位于句首使用倒装句） [高分句型2] In another house, I met a girl who was deaf and only partially sighted.（由关系代词who引导定语从句） [高分句型3] Seeing the gift, she got excited and made a sign with her hands, which, her mom said, was the sign for thanks.（which引导的非限定性定语从句） 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，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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Susan, does everyone in your family have blond hair?
