What’s the deadline for applying for performing in.2025 ARTS FIRST? A. December 4, 2024. B. January 29, 2025. C. February 1, 2025. D. May 3, 2025. 2. What can volunteers do for the preparation? A.

But for people who are food insecure, going to a bookstore or a library is not a priority (优先事项). That’s why a charity in Britain is now serving books at local food banks. The charity, Bookbanks, was founded by Emily Rhodes, a London-based writer who has been surrounded by books in her entire life. She was a keen reader, studied English in university, and worked in publishing and bookselling before becoming a journalist. In 2022, Rhodes began volunteering at a community food center in Newington Green, in northeast London. There she realized that bringing books into the center could not only enrich people’s lives with reading but it could also help people make connections and socialize. “People think of a book as a solitary thing, but I think there’s another side to books that makes them amazing connectors and community builders,” Rhodes said. Rhodes started small by setting up a table with a few hundred books at the food bank in Newington Green. At first, Rhodes gave books from her own collection but as her project grew, she started to get donations from bookstores, libraries and publishers. Then she and her co-director Hattie Garlick officially launched Bookbanks as a charity and began to expand in the city. Since three percent of people use food banks this is a great opportunity to get books into the hands of people that cannot afford to own books. Yusuf, 53, a food bank user, said that he took books to read with his son. “It’s the best time; we are quiet together. We haven’t got money, but we have books. The books are full of knowledge and knowledge is good,” he said. There are currently four Bookbanks locations, according to the organization, and to date, more than 3,000 books have been given away. There are plans to open four-to-six more locations in food banks in 2025. And the food banks have the potential to be a community space of socializing and learning and not just a place to be fed. 4. What is the purpose of Bookbanks? A. To inspire kids’ love for story books. B. To make an advertisement for food banks. C. To provide a quiet environment for writers. D. To offer the poor a chance to read books. 5. What does the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Strange. B. Funny. C. Separate. D. Different. 6. How did Emily Rhodes start her project in the first place? A. By donating her own books. B. By purchasing used books. C. By opening bookstores. D. By working with publishers. 7. What is Yusuf’s attitude to Bookbanks? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. C People usually wear rings to look nice — or perhaps to show that they’re married! But in the James Bond movies, the British secret agent (特工) has some very cool rings that do other things. For example, in the 2002 movie Die Another Day, James Bond wears a ring that can break glass: twist (扭动) the ring and glass breaks just by touching it! Now, technology experts have designed rings that can make any of us feel like a secret agent. These rings don’t break glass or catch bad guys, but they let your fingers work like a computer mouse. Put a special ring onto your first finger, and you’ll be able to control your computer — scrolling (滚动) and clicking — without using your laptop’s touch pad. One of the latest versions of these rings is made by a Swiss company called Padrone, which says its ring turns any surface into a touch pad. That means when you’re wearing the ring you can move your finger around on your desk — or on a lot of different flat surfaces — and control your computer. So if you’re working on a laptop, you don’t have to move your hand to the small touch pad — you can scroll and tap from a more comfortable position. Padrone’s ring connects to your computer using Bluetooth, and it works with sensors and a very small camera inside the ring. The rings, which will come in different sizes, are not available just yet, but the company hopes people will be able to buy them in May, when they should cost about $280. But there are also cheaper ways to try out this type of technology. In fact, there are already apps you can install (安装) on a smartwatch that let you control your computer with just your finger or by tapping the watch! 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To offer an example. B. To make comparisons. C. To provide an argument. D. To lead in the topic. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How to fix a computer. B. How to run a company. C. The role of the special ring. D. The way of using an app. 10. What is Padrone’s expectation? A. It will employ more loyal workers. B. Its product will come into the market. C. It will remake the James Bond movies. D. Its computers will be checked at once. 11. What can be learnt from the last paragraph? A. Smartwatches are welcomed by the public. B. It is convenient to buy things by computer. C. There are cheaper options to try the technology. D. Padrone’s rings have more advantages over apps. D Elephants are splendid creatures and tourists often go to African countries to see them. Due to conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, the number of elephants went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021. While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also expanded. This has led to conflicts that often result in elephant deaths. Now an innovative solution — using honeybees — has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The humming (嗡嗡声) of the African honeybees scares off elephants. Now yellow beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) protect some of the local farm lands, including one owned by Kenyan farmer Charity Mwangome. “We used to hate elephants a lot,” she said. But she believed that the beehive fences could rescue her from continuous crop loss. A nine-year study published in the October issue of the journal Conservation Science and Practice found that beehive fences scared away elephants 86.3 percent of the time. The study monitored 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the peak growing seasons, 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were stopped. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75 percent, elephants were still scared off 76 percent of the time. Save the Elephants is now building beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides stopping elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination (授粉) services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to add to their income. Mwanajuma Kibula, who has a farm in Kenya that is protected by beehives, harvests honey twice a year from her hives. She makes 450 shillings per jar. This is enough for her to pay for her children’s education. 12 What do the data in paragraph 1 indicate? A. The success of elephant protection. B. The large number of beehive fences. C. The growth of the Indian population. D. The survival crisis facing elephants. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Elephants have destroyed crops. B. Elephants are likely to hurt farmers. C. Charity Mwangome likes elephants. D. Beehive fences should be torn down. 14. Why is Mwanajuma Kibula mentioned? A. To stress the importance of elephants. B. To show an additional benefit of beehives. C. To praise farmers in African countries. D. To recommend new farming methods. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Long History of Elephants in Africa B. Bees Are Essential to People and the Planet C. An Organization Aiming to Secure Elephants D. Bees Help Keep Elephants Away From Kenyan Farms 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。 For many of us, it is not easy to feel inspired by the artworks that we see at museums.

At first, I thought she really thought I was useless and didn’t like me. But now I realize that she was just too busy and not very good at showing her love for her children in the limited time she had, and I was guessing all the time. Ever since I could remember, I’ve tried to please her and get her attention, but nothing was ever good enough. After I entered adolescence (青春期), I found the gap between us grew even wider. I thought if I did my best in every aspect, our relationship would improve. Knowing she cared about my grades, I always wanted to be at the top of my class, to be the best. She would also push me to maintain my figure. One day, she scolded me for eating a chocolate bar, and I thought maybe she worried I would become a fat girl. When I began starving myself, I just wanted to be thin enough to get her approval. I wanted to feel beautiful again, but I also hoped it would be a punishment to my mom. She would see how thin I was and regret not paying attention to me. After two months of starving, I realized my mom wasn’t going to complain about my rapid weight loss. In fact, she seemed not to notice my changes at all. She was busy every day. Once, when she came home from work and saw me, she frowned but said nothing. I guessed she didn’t like how sick and thin I looked. Then I got angry. I started eating a lot. I never ate healthy food, just any snacks I could find. Whenever I felt down or felt myself slipping into depression, I would grab a box of ice cream. It seemed like food could ease my anxiety from not getting love. By the end of the semester, not only had my body changed shape, but my grades also dropped sharply. 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。 It wasn’t until one day that my mom finally noticed my changes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom decided to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0. 5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：至人教版选择性必修第三册 Unit2。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Books about self-improvement, DIY home repair or novels that engage your imagination can be transformative. But for people who are food insecure, going to a bookstore or a library is not a priority (优先事项). That’s why a charity in Britain is now serving books at local food banks. The charity, Bookbanks, was founded by Emily Rhodes, a London-based writer who has been surrounded by books in her entire life. She was a keen reader, studied English in university, and worked in publishing and bookselling before becoming a journalist. In 2022, Rhodes began volunteering at a community food center in Newington Green, in northeast London. There she realized that bringing books into the center could not only enrich people’s lives with reading but it could also help people make connections and socialize. “People think of a book as a solitary thing, but I think there’s another side to books that makes them amazing connectors and community builders,” Rhodes said. Rhodes started small by setting up a table with a few hundred books at the food bank in Newington Green. At first, Rhodes gave books from her own collection but as her project grew, she started to get donations from bookstores, libraries and publishers. Then she and her co-director Hattie Garlick officially launched Bookbanks as a charity and began to expand in the city. Since three percent of people use food banks, this is a great opportunity to get books into the hands of people that cannot afford to own books. Yusuf, 53, a food bank user, said that he took books to read with his son. “It’s the best time; we are quiet together. We haven’t got money, but we have books. The books are full of knowledge and knowledge is good,” he said. There are currently four Bookbanks locations, according to the organization, and to date, more than 3,000 books have been given away. There are plans to open four-to-six more locations in food banks in 2025. And the food banks have the potential to be a community space of socializing and learning and not just a place to be fed. 4. What is the purpose of Bookbanks? A. To inspire kids’ love for story books. B. To make an advertisement for food banks. C. To provide a quiet environment for writers. D. To offer the poor a chance to read books. 5. What does the underlined word “solitary” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Strange. B. Funny. C. Separate. D. Different. 6. How did Emily Rhodes start her project in the first place? A. By donating her own books. B. By purchasing used books. C. By opening bookstores. D. By working with publishers. 7. What is Yusuf’s attitude to Bookbanks? A. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】4 D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了伦敦作家Emily Rhodes创办慈善组织Bookbanks，在当地的“食物银行”设置摊位，鼓励人们阅读书籍。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“But for people who are food insecure, going to a bookstore or a library is not a priority (优先事项). That’s why a charity in Britain is now serving books at local food banks. (但对于那些没有食物保障的人来说，去书店或图书馆并不是他们优先考虑的事情。这就是为什么英国的一家慈善机构目前在当地的食物银行提供书籍)”可知，慈善组织Bookbanks的目的是给穷人提供阅读书籍的机会。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的后文“but I think there’s another side to books that makes them amazing connectors and community builders (但我认为书籍还有另一面，这让它们成为了不起的连接纽带和社群构建者)”可知，前后有转折，Rhodes认为书籍能起到连接及构建社群的作用，由此推知，人们通常认为读书是单独的事，画线词意思应该是“单独的，独自的”，与Separate“单独的，分开的”意思最接近。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At first, Rhodes gave books from her own collection but as her project grew, she started to get donations from bookstores, libraries and publishers. (起初，Rhodes捐赠的是自己收藏的书籍，但随着她的项目不断发展，她开始收到来自书店、图书馆和出版商的捐赠)”可知，在项目初期，Emily Rhodes捐赠自己的书。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中Yusuf所说的话“It’s the best time; we are quiet together. We haven’t got money, but we have books. The books are full of knowledge and knowledge is good (这是最美好的时光；我们相伴静享此刻。我们没有钱，但我们有书。书中满是知识，而知识是有益的)”可知，Yusuf觉得和儿子一起阅读非常美好，让他们彼此相伴，获取知识。由此可知，他对Bookbanks的态度是肯定的。故选B项。 C People usually wear rings to look nice — or perhaps to show that they’re married! But in the James Bond movies, the British secret agent (特工) has some very cool rings that do other things. For example, in the 2002 movie Die Another Day, James Bond wears a ring that can break glass: twist (扭动) the ring and glass breaks just by touching it! Now, technology experts have designed rings that can make any of us feel like a secret agent. These rings don’t break glass or catch bad guys, but they let your fingers work like a computer mouse. Put a special ring onto your first finger, and you’ll be able to control your computer — scrolling (滚动) and clicking — without using your laptop’s touch pad. One of the latest versions of these rings is made by a Swiss company called Padrone, which says its ring turns any surface into a touch pad. That means when you’re wearing the ring you can move your finger around on your desk — or on a lot of different flat surfaces — and control your computer. So if you’re working on a laptop, you don’t have to move your hand to the small touch pad — you can scroll and tap from a more comfortable position. Padrone’s ring connects to your computer using Bluetooth, and it works with sensors and a very small camera inside the ring. The rings, which will come in different sizes, are not available just yet, but the company hopes people will be able to buy them in May, when they should cost about $280. But there are also cheaper ways to try out this type of technology. In fact, there are already apps you can install (安装) on a smartwatch that let you control your computer with just your finger or by tapping the watch! 8. What is the function of the first paragraph? A. To offer an example. B. To make comparisons. C. To provide an argument. D. To lead in the topic. 9. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. How to fix a computer. B. How to run a company. C. The role of the special ring. D. The way of using an app. 10. What is Padrone’s expectation? A. It will employ more loyal workers. B. Its product will come into the market. C. It will remake the James Bond movies. D. Its computers will be checked at once. 11. What can be learnt from the last paragraph? A. Smartwatches are welcomed by the public. B. It is convenient to buy things by computer. C. There are cheaper options to try the technology. D. Padrone’s rings have more advantages over apps. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了特工戒指的灵感来源及其技术应用，以及一款可将手指变为电脑鼠标的智能戒指的开发与市场预期。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。第一段先提到人们通常戴戒指是为了好看或表明已婚，接着说在詹姆斯・邦德电影中特工的戒指有特殊功能，如在 2002 年电影《择日而亡》中“James Bond wears a ring that can break glass: twist (扭动) the ring and glass breaks just by touching it!(詹姆斯・邦德戴着一枚可以打破玻璃的戒指：扭动戒指，只需触碰玻璃就会破碎！)”，之后引出下文科技专家设计出类似能让手指像电脑鼠标一样工作的戒指，所以第一段的作用是引出话题。故选D项。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。由第三段中“Put a special ring onto your first finger, and you’ll be able to control your computer — scrolling (滚动) and clicking — without using your laptop’s touch pad.(将一枚特制的戒指戴在你的食指上，你就能在不使用笔记本触控板的情况下控制电脑——进行滚动和点击操作)”及“That means when you’re wearing the ring you can move your finger around on your desk — or on a lot of different flat surfaces — and control your computer.(这意味着当你戴上这枚戒指时，你可以在桌面或其他许多不同的平面上移动手指来控制电脑)”可知，第三段主要讲的是特殊戒指的作用。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“The rings, which will come in different sizes, are not available just yet, but the company hopes people will be able to buy them in May, when they should cost about $280.(这些戒指会有不同尺寸，目前还无法购买，但该公司希望人们能在5月买到，届时价格约为 280 美元)”可知，Padrone公司期望其产品能进入市场，人们可以购买。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“But there are also cheaper ways to try out this type of technology.(但也有更便宜的方法来尝试这种技术)”可知，有更便宜的选择来尝试这种技术。故选C项。 D Elephants are splendid creatures and tourists often go to African countries to see them. Due to conservation efforts the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, the number of elephants went from around 6,000 to almost 15,000 in 2021. While this is great news for conservationists, it’s not seen that way by farmers who live in between two parts of the park. The human population has also expanded. This has led to conflicts that often result in elephant deaths. Now an innovative solution — using honeybees — has been found to keep the elephants away from farms. This solution is part of a long-running project from the Save the Elephants organization. The humming (嗡嗡声) of the African honeybees scares off elephants. Now yellow beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) protect some of the local farm lands including one owned by Kenyan farmer Charity Mwangome. “We used to hate elephants a lot,” she said. But she believed that the beehive fences could rescue her from continuous crop loss. A nine-year study published in the October issue of the journal Conservation Science and Practice found that beehive fences scared away elephants 86.3 percent of the time. The study monitored 26 farms that were protected by the beehive fences in two villages near the park. During the peak growing seasons, 3,027 elephants approached the fences and most were stopped. During the drought of 2017, which reduced the number of bees in the hives by 75 percent, elephants were still scared off 76 percent of the time. Save the Elephants is now building beehive fences in 15 countries in Africa and Asia. But besides stopping elephants, the beehive fences can provide other benefits to communities. Bees provide pollination (授粉) services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to add to their income. Mwanajuma Kibula, who has a farm in Kenya that is protected by beehives, harvests honey twice a year from her hives. She makes 450 shillings per jar. This is enough for her to pay for her children’s education. 12. What do the data in paragraph 1 indicate? A. The success of elephant protection. B. The large number of beehive fences. C. The growth of the Indian population. D. The survival crisis facing elephants. 13. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. Elephants have destroyed crops. B. Elephants are likely to hurt farmers. C. Charity Mwangome likes elephants. D. Beehive fences should be torn down. 14. Why is Mwanajuma Kibula mentioned? A. To stress the importance of elephants. B. To show an additional benefit of beehives. C. To praise farmers in African countries. D. To recommend new farming methods. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. The Long History of Elephants in Africa B. Bees Are Essential to People and the Planet C. An Organization Aiming to Secure Elephants D. Bees Help Keep Elephants Away From Kenyan Farms 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在肯尼亚，由于大象数量增多与人类产生冲突，而利用蜂巢围栏可以吓走大象保护农田，同时蜂巢还有其他益处。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Due to conservation efforts, the African elephant population in countries like Kenya is growing. In the country’s popular Tsavo National Park, the number of elephants went from around 6,000, to almost 15,000, in 2021.(由于保护工作的开展，肯尼亚等国家的非洲象数量正在增加。在该国著名的察沃国家公园，2021年大象的数量从约6,000头增加到了近15,000头)”可知，这些数据表明了大象保护工作取得了成功。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Now yellow beehive fences (蜂巢围栏) protect some of the local farm lands, including one owned by Kenyan farmer Charity Mwangome. ‘We used to hate elephants a lot,’ she said. But she believed that the beehive fences could rescue her from continuous crop loss.(现在，黄色的蜂巢栅栏保护着当地的一些农田，其中包括肯尼亚农民姆旺戈姆拥有的一块土地。‘我们过去非常讨厌大象，’她说。但她相信蜂巢围栏可以让她摆脱持续的作物损失)”可推知，大象曾毁坏了庄稼。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Bees provide pollination (授粉) services which can increase crop production and honey from the hives that farmers can sell to add to their income. Mwanajuma Kibula, who has a farm in Kenya that is protected by beehives, harvests honey twice a year from her hives. She makes 45 0 shillings per jar. This is enough for her to pay for her children’s education.(蜜蜂提供授粉服务，可以提高作物产量，蜂箱里的蜂蜜农民可以出售以增加收入。肯尼亚有一个农场受到蜂箱保护的姆瓦纳朱马·基布拉每年从她的蜂箱里收获两次蜂蜜。她每罐蜂蜜能卖450先令。这足够她支付孩子的教育费用了)”可推知，提到姆瓦纳朱马·基布拉是为了证明蜂巢的另一个好处。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Now an innovative solution — using honeybees — has been found to keep the elephants away from farms.(现在，一种创新的解决方案——利用蜜蜂——已经被发现可以让大象远离农场)”以及后文对蜂巢围栏既能吓走大象保护农田，又能带来其他益处的描述可知，文章主要围绕蜜蜂帮助让大象远离肯尼亚农场展开。所以D项“Bees Help Keep Elephants Away From Kenyan Farms(蜜蜂帮助大象远离肯尼亚农场)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 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。 For many of us, it is not easy to feel inspired by the artworks that we see at museums.

At first, I thought she really thought I was useless and didn’t like me. But now I realize that she was just too busy and not very good at showing her love for her children in the limited time she had, and I was guessing all the time. Ever since I could remember, I’ve tried to please her and get her attention, but nothing was ever good enough. After I entered adolescence (青春期), I found the gap between us grew even wider. I thought if I did my best in every aspect, our relationship would improve. Knowing she cared about my grades, I always wanted to be at the top of my class, to be the best. She would also push me to maintain my figure. One day, she scolded me for eating a chocolate bar, and I thought maybe she worried I would become a fat girl. When I began starving myself, I just wanted to be thin enough to get her approval. I wanted to feel beautiful again, but I also hoped it would be a punishment to my mom. She would see how thin I was and regret not paying attention to me. After two months of starving, I realized my mom wasn’t going to complain about my rapid weight loss. In fact, she seemed not to notice my changes at all. She was busy every day. Once, when she came home from work and saw me, she frowned but said nothing. I guessed she didn’t like how sick and thin I looked. Then I got angry. I started eating a lot. I never ate healthy food, just any snacks I could find. Whenever I felt down or felt myself slipping into depression, I would grab a box of ice cream. It seemed like food could ease my anxiety from not getting love. By the end of the semester, not only had my body changed shape, but my grades also dropped sharply. 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。 It wasn’t until one day that my mom finally noticed my changes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom decided to change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It wasn’t until one day that my mom finally noticed my changes. Looking at my growing body and dull eyes, she felt a flood of guilt and worry. She began to reflect on her behavior and realized she had been too focused on work, neglecting to care for and accompany me. She regretted not discovering my problems earlier and blamed herself for not providing enough love and support. Mom decided to change. She started to spend more time with me, listening to my heart. We took walks together, chatted, and shared our thoughts and feelings. She encouraged me to express my emotions and stopped being so demanding. With my mom’s care and company. I gradually recovered from the shadow of depression, and my body and grades slowly recovered. Our relationship improved, becoming closer and more harmonious. Mom’s change made me feel deeply loved, and it taught me that the relationship between mother and daughter needs the joint efforts and understanding of both parties. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者与母亲之间因母亲工作忙碌、缺乏沟通而产生的隔阂，以及作者通过极端方式吸引母亲注意却导致身体和学业受损的经历。最终，母亲的改变和陪伴让作者感受到了深深的爱，也使母女关系变得更加紧密和谐。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“直到有一天，妈妈终于注意到了我的变化。”以及第二段首句内容“妈妈决定做出改变。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈意识到自己的错误，后悔自己没有早点发现作者的问题。 ②由第二段首句内容“妈妈决定做出改变。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈开始陪伴作者，关心作者，母女关系变得更加紧密和谐。 2.续写线索：妈妈发现变化——感到愧疚与自责——决定改变态度——增加陪伴与沟通——逐渐走出阴影——母女关系改善 3.词汇激活 行类 ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on ②忽视：neglect/ignore ③陪伴：accompany sb./keep sb. company 情绪类 ①担忧：worry/concern ②沮丧：depression/despondence 【点睛】【高分句型1】Looking at my growing body and dull eyes, she felt a flood of guilt and worry.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】Mom’s change made me feel deeply loved, and it taught me that the relationship between mother and daughter needs the joint efforts and understanding of both parties.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
