One time, I walked into the kitchen to find Holly making toast. I generally feel safe eating toast that Holly has made because it boasts nothing but few steps. But this toast was a bit thin and tough. “It’s a bit thin and tough,” I said. “What bread is this?” “It’s the same bread we always have,” Holly said, pointing to the bag. “Oh, my God!” I cried. “It has a best-by date of January 2009.” “It was in the freezer,”Holly said. “The best-by date doesn’t count if the product is frozen.” “But still there is a limit for frozen food,” I responded, holding up a slice of bread which felt like a stone. “No, there isn’t,” she replied. “I once saw a show where scientists found a rare animal frozen in ice for millions of years. They melted it, cooked it, and ate it.” “That is why it is called a show,” I cried. “You never appreciate anything I do,” replied Holly. “That’s not true,” I said. “I appreciate everything you do. You’re a beautiful, kind, thoughtful person. But if I ordered a hamburger at McDonald’s and they handed it to me, saying, ‘Sorry, it was a bit tough because the bread had been stored for nearly 10 years,’ I would assume there was something wrong with the restaurant staff.” “It would probably be good with me,” responded Holly, holding out her hands.“But you would never know whether the guy at McDonald’s spent an hour in the kitchen making it for you and burned his thumb on a pan.” “Fine,” I sighed, raising it to my mouth. “I’ll taste it.” Taking the brown and yellow bread, I had a strong burning feeling like having a mouthful ofred ants. I swallowed with effort as my eyes began to water. “Yes,” said Holly. “We were out of cream, so I used pepper from Sichuan, China instead.” 4. Why does the author feel safe cating toast made by his wilfe? A. Because his wife loves him. B. Becausc his wife once did it well. C. Because his wife is good at cooking. D. Because the process of making toast is easy. 5. Holly insisted that the bread was eatable because ________. A. once the bread was heated,it was safe B. the bread was within the limit of the date C. scientists once proved that outdated food is healthy D. she thought that date limit didn’t work on frozen food 6. The toast Holly made was________. A. brown but tasty B. hard and hot C. soft and sweet D. thick and tough 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Holly made great efforts in making toast. B. Holly can neither ride a bike nor do any cooking. C. The author was in a bad relationship with his wife. D. Bread at MacDonald’s is generally stored for a long time. C When it comes to reading, we may be assuming that reading for knowledge is the best reason to pick up a book. Research, however, suggests that reading fiction may provide far more important benefits than nonfiction. It may be one of the best methods for building empathy (同理心), critical thinking and creativity. High-level business leaders have long enthusiastically praised the virtues of reading. But they almost always recommend nonfiction. Reading nonfiction might certainly be valuable for collecting knowledge. However, research suggests that reading fiction predicts a sharper ability to understand other people’s motivations. In addition, research suggests that reading literary fiction is an effective way to improve the brain’s ability to keep an open mind while processing information, a necessary skill for effective decision-making. In a 2013 study, researchers examined something called the need for cognitive closure (认知闭合), or the desire to “reach a quick conclusion in decision-making and an aversion to uncertainty and confusion”. Individuals with a strong need for cognitive closure rely heavily on “early information hints”, meaning they struggle to change their minds as new information becomes available. A high need for cognitive closure also means individuals are attracted to smaller bits of information and fewer viewpoints. Individuals who resist the need for cognitive closure tend to be more thoughtful, more creative, and more comfortable with competing narratives — all characteristics of high emotional intelligence. University of Toronto researchers discovered that individuals in their study who read short stories (as opposed to essays) demonstrated a lower need for cognitive closure. That result is not surprising given that reading literature requires us to slow down, take in volumes of information, and then change our minds as we read. There’s no easy answer in literature. Instead, there’s only perspective-taking. As readers, we’ll almost certainly find Lolita’s narrator Humbert Humbert hateful, but we are forced to experience how he thinks, a valuable exercise for decreasing our need for cognitive closure. 8. What does the second paragraph suggest about reading fiction? A. It can’t help us to keep motivated. B. It helps us to gather knowledge. C. It helps us to improve reading skills. D. It helps us to better understand others. 9. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3? A. Amazement. B. Desire. C. Dislike. D. Need. 10. What do we know about people with a high need for cognitive closure? A. They are unwilling to accept new things. B. They rely a little on the help of others. C. They are happy to accept new knowledge. D. They are in no hurry to draw conclusions. 11. What is the advantage of reading fiction according to the text? A. It can hardly change our mind. B. It can improve emotional intelligence. C. It can increase the need for cognitive closure. D. It can add the ability of literature appreciation. D Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit, Most often, voluntourists travel for the specific purpose of volunteering in an organized way for specific causes, but others simply include volunteer aspects to a traditional vacation experience. Much like sustainable tourism as a whole, the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success. Ken Budd, author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, says that countless organizations around the world create lasting results. The writer, who volunteered in at least six countries, speaks for it, such as teaching English in a Costa Rican elementary school that relied on volunteers when they couldn’t afford teachers. However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: “These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves. Perhaps those Haitian bricklayers could have found weeks of employment instead of out of a job, at least for several days.” If an organization can get free labor from an unskilled volunteer, they’re not spending money hiring locals to do the same work for a fee. In a poverty-stricken economy where residents are already struggling to find jobs, funds that go towards digging a well or building a school will have more of an impact if they stay within the local economy. Taking work from locals can prevent developing communities from self-establishment. Not to mention, volunteers who are untrained in whatever service they are providing can sometimes actually end up holding back progress. 12. How does the author introduce the topic “voluntourism”? A. By explaining its origin. B. By presenting its concept. C. By discussing its classification. D. By sorting out its causes. 13. What helps guarantee the success of a voluntourism program according to the passage? A The purpose and legitimacy of a program. B. Participants’ previous voluntary experience. C. The degree of involvement of each volunteer. D. Proper control of the program and responsible volunteers. 14. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Voluntourists’ donations to their destinations. B. The enthusiasm of people for rebuilding Haiti. C. The invisible problem brought by voluntourists. D. Voluntourists’ determination to make contributions. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to voluntourism? A. Objective. B. Indifferent, C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. 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。 Imagine a friend has just asked how you’re feeling. You’re clearly upset but unable to express how you really feel.

Practice daily self-reflection Self-reflection develops emotional awareness and is key to understanding why you feel the way you do.

Mask your real emotions. C. Go ahead, and get it all out on paper D. Being aware of your emotions is hugely beneficial. E Being honest with yourself for the first time may prove tough. F.

It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently. It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21. As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key. Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执). 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024学年第二学期高一年级四校联考 英语学科试题卷 考生须知： 1.本卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟； 2.答题前，在答题卷指定区域填写班级、姓名、考场、座位号及准考证号（填涂）； 3.所有答案必须写在答题卷上，写在试卷上无效； 第Ⅰ卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，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.

She is capable of the process of cooking, but she cannot cook in the same way that an octopus (章鱼) cannot ride a bike. One time, I walked into the kitchen to find Holly making toast. I generally feel safe eating toast that Holly has made because it boasts nothing but few steps. But this toast was a bit thin and tough. “It’s a bit thin and tough,” I said. “What bread is this?” “It’s the same bread we always have,” Holly said, pointing to the bag. “Oh, my God!” I cried. “It has a best-by date of January 2009.” “It was in the freezer,”Holly said. “The best-by date doesn’t count if the product is frozen.” “But still there is a limit for frozen food,” I responded, holding up a slice of bread which felt like a stone. “No, there isn’t,” she replied. “I once saw a show where scientists found a rare animal frozen in ice for millions of years. They melted it, cooked it, and ate it.” “That is why it is called a show,” I cried. “You never appreciate anything I do,” replied Holly. “That’s not true,” I said. “I appreciate everything you do. You’re a beautiful, kind, thoughtful person. But if I ordered a hamburger at McDonald’s and they handed it to me, saying, ‘Sorry, it was a bit tough because the bread had been stored for nearly 10 years,’ I would assume there was something wrong with the restaurant staff.” “It would probably be good with me,” responded Holly, holding out her hands.“But you would never know whether the guy at McDonald’s spent an hour in the kitchen making it for you and burned his thumb on a pan.” “Fine,” I sighed, raising it to my mouth. “I’ll taste it.” Taking the brown and yellow bread, I had a strong burning feeling like having a mouthful ofred ants. I swallowed with effort as my eyes began to water. “Yes,” said Holly. “We were out of cream, so I used pepper from Sichuan, China instead.” 4. Why does the author feel safe cating toast made by his wilfe? A. Because his wife loves him. B. Becausc his wife once did it well. C. Because his wife is good at cooking. D. Because the process of making toast is easy. 5. Holly insisted that the bread was eatable because ________. A. once the bread was heated,it was safe B. the bread was within the limit of the date C. scientists once proved that outdated food is healthy D. she thought that date limit didn’t work on frozen food 6. The toast Holly made was________. A. brown but tasty B. hard and hot C. soft and sweet D. thick and tough 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Holly made great efforts in making toast. B. Holly can neither ride a bike nor do any cooking. C. The author was in a bad relationship with his wife. D. Bread at MacDonald’s is generally stored for a long time. 【答案】4. D 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的妻子不善厨艺，给作者烤的土司又硬又辣，且面包已经过期了的生活趣事。 4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“I generally feel safe eating toast that Holly has made because it boasts nothing but few steps.(我通常觉得吃霍莉做的吐司很安全，因为它只需要几步)”可知，作者觉得吃他妻子做的吐司很安全，因为做吐司的过程很简单。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第六段“The best-by date doesn’t count if the product is ffozen.(如果产品是冷冻的，最佳食用日期就不算数了)”可知，霍莉坚持认为面包是可以吃的，因为她认为冷冻食品不受日期限制。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第七段“I responded holding up a slice of bread which felt like a stone.(我举着一块摸起来像石头的面包回应道)”可知，霍莉烤的面包很硬；再根据文章最后一段“We were out of cream,so I used pepper from Sichuan,China instead.(奶油用完了，所以我用了中国四川的胡椒粉代替)”可知，霍莉烤的面包很辣。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第十段““You never appreciate anything I do,” replied Holly.(“你从来不感激我做的任何事，”霍莉回答)”可知，霍莉为丈夫做了很多，但她认为丈夫并不感激，所以感到难过。由此推知，霍莉下了很大功夫做烤面包。故选A项。 C When it comes to reading, we may be assuming that reading for knowledge is the best reason to pick up a book. Research, however, suggests that reading fiction may provide far more important benefits than nonfiction. It may be one of the best methods for building empathy (同理心), critical thinking and creativity. High-level business leaders have long enthusiastically praised the virtues of reading. But they almost always recommend nonfiction. Reading nonfiction might certainly be valuable for collecting knowledge. However, research suggests that reading fiction predicts a sharper ability to understand other people’s motivations. In addition, research suggests that reading literary fiction is an effective way to improve the brain’s ability to keep an open mind while processing information, a necessary skill for effective decision-making. In a 2013 study, researchers examined something called the need for cognitive closure (认知闭合), or the desire to “reach a quick conclusion in decision-making and an aversion to uncertainty and confusion”. Individuals with a strong need for cognitive closure rely heavily on “early information hints”, meaning they struggle to change their minds as new information becomes available. A high need for cognitive closure also means individuals are attracted to smaller bits of information and fewer viewpoints. Individuals who resist the need for cognitive closure tend to be more thoughtful, more creative, and more comfortable with competing narratives — all characteristics of high emotional intelligence. University of Toronto researchers discovered that individuals in their study who read short stories (as opposed to essays) demonstrated a lower need for cognitive closure. That result is not surprising given that reading literature requires us to slow down, take in volumes of information, and then change our minds as we read. There’s no easy answer in literature. Instead, there’s only perspective-taking. As readers, we’ll almost certainly find Lolita’s narrator Humbert Humbert hateful, but we are forced to experience how he thinks, a valuable exercise for decreasing our need for cognitive closure. 8. What does the second paragraph suggest about reading fiction? A. It can’t help us to keep motivated. B. It helps us to gather knowledge. C. It helps us to improve reading skills. D. It helps us to better understand others. 9. What is the most possible meaning of the underlined word in paragraph 3? A. Amazement. B. Desire. C. Dislike. D. Need. 10. What do we know about people with a high need for cognitive closure? A. They are unwilling to accept new things. B. They rely a little on the help of others. C. They are happy to accept new knowledge. D. They are in no hurry to draw conclusions. 11. What is the advantage of reading fiction according to the text? A. It can hardly change our mind. B. It can improve emotional intelligence. C It can increase the need for cognitive closure. D. It can add the ability of literature appreciation. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了阅读小说的好处及其理论基础。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“However, research suggests that reading fiction predicts a sharper ability to understand other people’s motivations.(然而，研究表明，阅读小说预示着更强的理解他人动机的能力)”可知，阅读小说预示着更强的理解他人动机的能力。由此可知，阅读小说有助于让人们更好地理解他人。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第二句“In a 2013 study, researchers examined something called the need for cognitive closure (认知闭合), or the desire to “reach a quick conclusion in decision-making and an aversion to uncertainty and confusion”.(在2013年的一项研究中，研究人员调查了一种名为“认知闭合需求”的东西，即“在决策过程中迅速得出结论，aversion不确定性和混乱”的欲望)”可知，“认知闭合需求”指一种面对一个模糊或者复杂的问题时，快速给问题找一个明确答案的强烈欲望，故而讨厌不确定性和混乱。由此推知，划线词aversion意为“厌恶，不喜欢” 。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第三、四句“Individuals with a strong need for cognitive closure rely heavily on “early information hints”, meaning they struggle to change their minds as new information becomes available. A high need for cognitive closure also means individuals are attracted to smaller bits of information and fewer viewpoints..(对认知封闭有强烈需求的人严重依赖“早期信息暗示”，这意味着当新信息出现时，他们很难改变自己的想法。对认知封闭的高度需求也意味着个人会被更小的信息和更少的观点所吸引)”可知，对认知封闭有强烈需求的人不大情愿接受新生事物。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段最后两句“Research, however, suggests that reading fiction may provide far more important benefits than nonfiction. It may be one of the best methods for building empathy, critical thinking and creativity.(然而，研究表明，阅读小说可能比阅读非小说提供更重要的好处。这可能是培养同理心、批判性思维和创造力的最佳方法之一)”及第三段最后一句“Individuals who resist the need for cognitive closure tend to be more thoughtful, more creative, and more comfortable with competing narratives — all characteristics of high emotional intelligence.(那些抵制认知封闭需求的人往往更有思想，更有创造力，更能适应相互竞争的叙述——这些都是高情商的特征)”及最后一段最后一句“As readers, we’ll almost certainly find Lolita’s narrator Humbert Humbert hateful, but we are forced to experience how he thinks, a valuable exercise for decreasing our need for cognitive closure..(作为读者，我们几乎肯定会觉得《洛丽塔》的叙述者亨伯特·亨伯特可恨，但我们被迫体验他的思考方式，这是减少我们对认知封闭需求的宝贵练习)”可推知，阅读小说作品既然能减少我们对认知闭合的需求，那么反过来它就能够培养、提高我们的情商。故选B项。 D Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit, Most often, voluntourists travel for the specific purpose of volunteering in an organized way for specific causes, but others simply include volunteer aspects to a traditional vacation experience. Much like sustainable tourism as a whole, the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success. Ken Budd, author of the award-winning memoir The Voluntourist, says that countless organizations around the world create lasting results. The writer, who volunteered in at least six countries, speaks for it, such as teaching English in a Costa Rican elementary school that relied on volunteers when they couldn’t afford teachers. However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: “These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves. Perhaps those Haitian bricklayers could have found weeks of employment instead of out of a job, at least for several days.” If an organization can get free labor from an unskilled volunteer, they’re not spending money hiring locals to do the same work for a fee. In a poverty-stricken economy where residents are already struggling to find jobs, funds that go towards digging a well or building a school will have more of an impact if they stay within the local economy. Taking work from locals can prevent developing communities from self-establishment. Not to mention, volunteers who are untrained in whatever service they are providing can sometimes actually end up holding back progress. 12. How does the author introduce the topic “voluntourism”? A. By explaining its origin. B. By presenting its concept. C. By discussing its classification. D. By sorting out its causes. 13. What helps guarantee the success of a voluntourism program according to the passage? A. The purpose and legitimacy of a program. B. Participants’ previous voluntary experience. C. The degree of involvement of each volunteer. D. Proper control of the program and responsible volunteers. 14. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Voluntourists’ donations to their destinations. B. The enthusiasm of people for rebuilding Haiti. C. The invisible problem brought by voluntourists. D. Voluntourists’ determination to make contributions. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to voluntourism? A. Objective. B. Indifferent, C. Favorable. D. Disapproving. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文，主要谈论了公益旅游的概念，及其优点和可能带来的问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Voluntourism is a type of tourism in which travellers participate in volunteer work, usually for a charity or a non-profit.”（公益旅游是一种旅游类型，旅行者参与志愿者工作，通常是为了慈善或非营利组织。）可知，作者通过介绍其概念来引入“公益旅游”这个主题。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Much like sustainable tourism as a whole ,the legitimacy (合法性) or success of a voluntourism program depends highly on how it is managed. When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause. But it’s up to the individual volunteer, too, who has the added responsibility of staying informed and setting their destinations up for success.”（志愿者旅游项目的合法性或成功在很大程度上取决于它是如何管理的。如果做得正确，它可以帮助社区发展并真正为特定的事业提供帮助。但这也取决于每个志愿者，他们有保持了解并为他们的目的地成功做好准备的额外责任。）可知，公益旅游项目的成功取决于项目的适当管理和负责任的志愿者。故选D。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“However, not all voluntourism programs are helping. A reporter for The New York Times wrote in 2016 about their experience with a group of people building a school in Haiti: ‘These people knew nothing about how to construct a building. Collectively they had spent thousands of dollars to fly here to do a job that Haitian bricklayers could have done far more quickly. Imagine how many classrooms might have been built if they had donated that money rather than spending it to fly down themselves.’（然而，并不是所有的公益旅游项目都有帮助。2016年，《纽约时报》的一名记者写了他在海地一群人建造学校的经历：“这些人对如何建造建筑一无所知。他们总共花了几千美元飞到这里来做一件海地砌砖工人本来可以快得多的工作。想象一下，如果他们把钱捐出来，而不是把钱花在自己的飞机上，可能会建多少教室。）可住，第三段主要讨论了公益旅游可能带来的看不见的问题。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When done the right way, it can help communities grow and truly provide benefits to a specific cause.”（如果做得正确，它可以帮助社区发展，并真正为特定的事业带来好处）根据第三段“However, not all voluntourism programs are helping.”（然而，并不是所有的公益旅游项目都有帮助）可知，作者介绍了公益旅游的有点也介绍了其缺点，所以作者对公益旅游是客观的。故选A。 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。 Imagine a friend has just asked how you’re feeling.

It’s a Hebrew word that means “to do a good deed”. But according to my grandmother, it also had another meaning. This was the one she was always pointing out to me because she’d noticed how shy I was about letting people do things for me. “Linda, it’s a blessing to do a mitzvah for someone else, but sometimes it’s a blessing to let another person do something for you.” I never really understood what she meant until recently. It was three months ago, and I'd just moved into an apartment for college in Brooklyn, New York, Several of my friends had offered to help me settle in after the moving men left, but I'd said I could manage. Letting them help did not fit my image of myself as a capable and independent woman of 21. As December arrived, getting to school became more difficult. One day, snowflakes had been falling past my window for several hours when it came time to leave for class. I put on two sweaters, a coat, a wool hat and boots making for the bus stop. In this December storm it was a hard journey. As I tied around my neck the blue scarf that Grandma had knitted(编织) for me, I could almost hear her voice: “Why don't you see if you can find a lift?” A thousand reasons came into my mind: I don't know my neighbours; I feel funny asking for favours. Pride(自尊心) would not let me ask even though I came across three neighbours at the door of the apartment building. One of them was the woman living upstairs, and in her hand there was an obvious car key. Result? An hour of waiting in the bitter cold before the bus finally arrived, followed by another half-hou journey. When I sneaked into the classroom, the class was almost over. If only I had taken the chance and asked for help! It would have been a 10-minute ride by car, Grandma would be shaking her head at my stubbornness(固执). 注意： 1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2.续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。 Paragraph 1: On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1： On the day of my final exam, I again walked to the bus stop through heavy snow. For an hour, I stretched my neck, praying desperately that a bus would come. Then I gave up. The wind at my back pushed me toward home, and I prayed, “how can I get to school? What should I do?” As I pulled Grandma’s scarf more tightly around my neck, again I seemed to hear that whisper: Ask someone for a lift! It could be a mitzvah. That idea had never really made sense to me. And even if I wanted to ask someone for a good deed, which I did not, there wasn’t a soul on the street. Paragraph 2： As I pushed open the door of my apartment building, I found myself face to face with the woman from upstairs. She was going out with a set of keys in her hand. In that split second, desperation overcame pride. I blurted, “Could you possibly give me a lift?” I hurriedly explained, “I’ve been waiting for the bus for ages, and I don’t want to miss my final exam.” Her expression softened with understanding, “Of course, I’ll give you a lift.” Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything. It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了从小时候起作者的祖母就经常对作者说成人礼这个词，在希伯来语中它的意思是“做一件好事”。但祖母说，它还有另一层意思就是让别人为自己做点什么也是一种祝福，因为她注意到作者很害羞，不愿意让别人帮自己做事，直到最近因为在暴风雪天气中因为不愿意开口求人搭便车导致自己上课迟到时作者才真正明白了奶奶话的意思。又一个暴风雪的天气，作者赶着去参加期末考，一切看似和原来一样但实际已经有了改变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“期末考试那天，我又冒着大雪走到公共汽车站。”可知，第一段可描写作者像往常一样等公交车，结果等了好长时间车也没有来，这时想到奶奶让自己找人帮忙的话，但那是不可能的，因为路上根本没有人，所以作者决定回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我推开公寓大楼的门时，我发现自己与楼上的女人面对面。”可知，第二段可描写作者见到楼上女人那一刻时终于绝望战胜骄傲，开口向女人求助，以及求助成功以后自己的感受及对于“成人礼”含义的理解。 2.续写线索：车站等车——等车未果——决定回家——想到奶奶的话打算求助——无人可求——楼梯内偶遇楼上女士——勇于求助——求助成功——欣慰及感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 战胜：overcome/surmount 脱口而出：blurt/ejaculate 变软；软化：soften/tender/alleviate 情绪类 紧紧地：tightly/firmly 匆忙地：hurriedly/hastily 【点睛】【高分句型1】Heaving a sigh of relief, I couldn’t help but marvel at how a simple act of asking for help had changed everything.(运用了现在分词短语作状语和how引导的宾语从句) 【高分句型2】It was at that moment that I finally understood what “Mitzvah” really meant.(运用了强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
