B In the age of digital dependency, I found myself caught up in the web of smartphones and social media. My journey to a fulfilling life began with a realization that these devices were slowly eroding (腐蚀) my sense of presence and joy. It started three years ago when I was an Instagram influencer, constantly glued to my smartphone. With nearly 200,000 followers, my life revolved (打转) around designing, filming, editing, posting, and engaging with virtual interactions. But beneath the surface of likes and comments, I felt a growing sense of blankness and loss. The constant notifications and the pressure to maintain an online presence negatively impacted my mental health. One day, I decided to take a step back. I switched from a smartphone to a basic “dumbphone,” which could only make calls and send texts. At first, the transition was challenging. I missed the convenience of having everything at my fingertips. But gradually, I began to notice positive changes. Without the constant distractions, I found more time for reading, painting, and spending quality time with loved ones. Another significant change was in my mental state. I felt less anxious and more focused. I no longer wasted hours looking through social media, comparing my life to others’ carefully edited highlights. Instead,I rediscovered the joy of living in the moment. I started to explore the world around me, engaging in activities that truly brought me happiness. This journey taught me that true fulfillment comes from meaningful connections and experiences, not from the digital world. By letting go of my smartphone and social media, I gained something far more valuable: a life filled with purpose and genuine happiness. 24. What was the author’s initial professional role? A. A digital marketer. B. An art designer. C. A social media programmer. D. A online content creator. 25. How did the author actually feel about her digital life according to paragraph 2? A.

C When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the title “digitalforster”, which refers to a ranger expert in employing high-tech tools. That was widely celebrated in the German forestry community. After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which multiply in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him monitor and survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground. It takes forest soil decades to recover after being compacted (压实) by heavy logging equipment. That’s why Roth has digitally mapped all the logging paths and equipped tree harvesters with satellite so the machines can easily follow the same route for decades and easily find them in the chaotic aftermath of a storm. GPS data is used to record how much wood was taken from which location—a crucial upgrade in a forest with many different owners. Now up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended drought periods, so Roth has begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. With a forest in flux (不断变化), there are dozens of areas that need interventions at different times, and there are not enough employees to keep it all straight, he says: “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost.” 28. What does the underlined “That” refer to in paragraph 1? A. The solution. B. The tool. C. The monitor. D. The title. 29. What does paragraph 2 highlight about technology in forestry? A. Its speed and precision. B. Its operating principles. C. Its considerable expenses. D. Its limitations in application. 30. What does Roth emphasize in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of planting new tree species. B. The impact of climate change on European forests. C. The need for more employees in forest management. D. The importance of information management and recording. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show how technology changes forest care. B. To defend traditional methods of forest management. C. To explain the importance of planting new tree species. D. To highlight the challenges of climate change for forestry. D Consider the hierarchy (层次) of needs proposed in 1943 by the psychologist Abraham Maslow. Maslow believed that people tend to focus on meeting their needs in a particular order of urgency. We start with survival needs such as food, shelter, and safety. Once these have been met, we turn our attention to social and emotional needs, such as love and belonging. Finally, we focus on higher-order needs such as self-actualization — in other words, looking for life’s meaning. Of these three levels, money is only truly helpful for the first. This is why economists often find that well-being doesn’t improve much once a person reaches the relatively humble financial means that meet those needs. The “middle needs” of love and belonging — family, friends, romance — can’t be met with money, and pursuing money with too much gusto can even result in unexpected consequences. Focusing too much on money is actively opposed to Maslow’s highest-level needs, because doing so can lead people into a trap that researchers call “financial contingency of self-worth,” which happens when a person’s self-esteem is conditional on his or her financial success. This might explain why stress levels are high both when money is tight and when people reach higher income levels. A 2018 survey conducted by LinkedIn found that stress at work falls when people earn more than $50,000, but then starts to rise significantly when people earn above $200,000. One reason for the stress among high earners is their neglect (忽略) of relationships, according to some researchers. Perhaps your parents always put a lot of pressure on you to succeed financially, or you tend to be insecure about your self-worth and rely a lot on social comparison. One way or another, you might be measuring yourself in money, and without realizing it, hoping that at some point you will be “expensive” enough to earn others’ love and respect. Your instincts (直觉) might be telling you to earn more, more, more in order to find peace and satisfaction. Your instincts are lying, and you could get much happier by reassessing your priorities. 32. What is the primary role of money according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? A. It ensures a sense of safety. B. It satisfies all levels of needs. C. It is crucial for self-actualization. D. It is most effective for basic survival needs. 33. What does “gusto” mean in paragraph 2? A. Resistance. B. Enthusiasm. C. Indifference. D. Hesitation. 34. Why might pursuing money excessively lead to stress even at higher income levels? A. It leads to a constant need for financial growth. B. It complicates financial choices for the wealthy. C It may overshadow social and emotional bonds. D. It increases the pressure to maintain high income. 35. What is the author’s view on using money as a measure of self-worth? A. It’s a natural response. B. It’s a reasonable pursuit. C. It’s a notable misconception. D. It’s a temporary phase in personal growth. 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。 How to Make the Lasting Friendships You Want When it comes to our physical and mental health, friendship may truly be the best medicine.

Normally, he wouldn’t give them a second look. But one day, something caught his eye — a homeless dog that looked very similar to his own Labrador, Jake. He was worried that it might be his own dog that had got out of his house and wandered the street. Thinking of this, Brooks’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled his truck over and got out to take a closer look. As he approached, he noticed the smaller dog watching him from the edge of the trees. Its eyes were cautious (谨慎的) but curious. It wasn’t Jake. A huge wave of relief washed over Brooks when he realized that. He drove away, but his mind kept drifting back to (飘回) the lonely figure by the trees. The next day, Brooks couldn’t shake the memory of the small dog. As he drove past the same spot, he saw that the dog was still there. Brooks pulled over again. This time, he called out softly, “Come here, boy.” The small dog looked at him for a moment, and then disappeared into the trees. Brooks could see its ribs (肋骨) sticking out — it was clearly hungry and scared. “Poor thing!” Brooks thought to himself. Brooks couldn’t get the image of the thin dog out of his mind. That afternoon, he found himself driving back to the spot. The small dog was still there. Brooks got out of his truck and opened a can of dog food he had brought along. “Come on, boy,” he urged. “Come eat.” The dog’s eyes shifted from Brooks to the food, but it remained still. Instead, it ran back into the trees, disappearing from sight again. “You stubborn dog,” Brooks sighed, shaking his head. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly it struck him that maybe Jake could help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luckily, the small dog slowly began to settle into its new home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025届高三年级模拟测试 英语 满分150分 考试用时120分钟 注意事项： 1.本试卷由四个部分组成，其中，第一、二部分和第三部分的第一节为选择题，第三部分的第二节和第四部分为非选择题。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 4.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，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，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。 例：How much is the shirt?

My boss use it to share calendars, announce important events, remind us of deadlines...It’s really useful! W: So, you’re thinking we can do the same thing at home? We are not such big figures as your boss. M: Not exactly the same. We can hang it up in the living room and share our everyday to-do list and leave a message for each other on it. So we can always know what things have to be done first, in case the electricity bill issue happens again. W: Ha-ha. That was my bad. But the fine was just crazy. It was almost as expensive as our rent. I could never forget to pay the bill again. M: I guess that’s what this board could prevent. 听下面一段较长对话，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 14.

We’ve already sold 150 tickets for the first performance! W: Wow, that’s great! How many seats does the theater have? M: I think it’s 220. And the theater only does contactless payments nowadays. There’s a theater website. You can buy tickets there. W: Okay, great. How is the play going, anyway? M: Really well! We have a new director, which is pretty exciting. W: Oh? M: Yeah. I was a bit nervous at first. Most of her previous experience was in musical theater, which is very different from what we do. People said she was difficult to please, so I thought we would have rough times. But the truth is, she listens to everybody’s ideas. Not many directors do that! She always sees the possibilities, and knows how to bring out the best in us. She trusts us and encourages us to keep trying new things. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 18.

A 【解析】 【原文】W: Almost every country in the world has a specific National Day. In fact, only Denmark and the U.K. do not. National Day celebrations are very different from country to country, as they reflect the unique traditions of each nation. However, they usually mark an important date in a country’s history or culture. Brazil and the U.S. celebrate their National Days on the dates they gained independence. National Days of China and Turkey fall on the dates they became republics. In Scotland or the Netherlands, people celebrate their cultural figures on National Days. In many places, the day is a national holiday, with everybody taking time off to mark the occasion. Military events, concerts and official ceremonies are common ways to celebrate, but there are also many more personal, unique traditions. In India, for example, many celebrate the country’s Independence Day by flying kites, which represent freedom. In France, many fire stations open their doors on Bastille Day for dance parties. Meanwhile, many Indonesians celebrate with non-competitive sports, such as climbing trees to gain prizes. This represents the country’s long struggle to gain independence. 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 Celebrating 125 years In 2025, we celebrate the University of Birmingham’s 125th Anniversary with a special programme of events and activities that celebrate our past, present and future.

My journey to a fulfilling life began with a realization that these devices were slowly eroding (腐蚀) my sense of presence and joy. It started three years ago when I was an Instagram influencer, constantly glued to my smartphone. With nearly 200,000 followers, my life revolved (打转) around designing, filming, editing, posting, and engaging with virtual interactions. But beneath the surface of likes and comments, I felt a growing sense of blankness and loss. The constant notifications and the pressure to maintain an online presence negatively impacted my mental health. One day, I decided to take a step back. I switched from a smartphone to a basic “dumbphone,” which could only make calls and send texts. At first, the transition was challenging. I missed the convenience of having everything at my fingertips. But gradually, I began to notice positive changes. Without the constant distractions, I found more time for reading, painting, and spending quality time with loved ones. Another significant change was in my mental state. I felt less anxious and more focused. I no longer wasted hours looking through social media, comparing my life to others’ carefully edited highlights. Instead,I rediscovered the joy of living in the moment. I started to explore the world around me, engaging in activities that truly brought me happiness. This journey taught me that true fulfillment comes from meaningful connections and experiences, not from the digital world. By letting go of my smartphone and social media, I gained something far more valuable: a life filled with purpose and genuine happiness. 24. What was the author’s initial professional role? A.

Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the title “digitalforster”, which refers to a ranger expert in employing high-tech tools. That was widely celebrated in the German forestry community. After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which multiply in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests. While it used to take Roth two and a half hours to cover an acre of forest on foot, drones (无人机) now let him monitor and survey the entire 3,000 acres in a matter of days, so he can quickly locate damaged trees, identify and inform the owners of affected plots, and send information to workers on the ground. It takes forest soil decades to recover after being compacted (压实) by heavy logging equipment. That’s why Roth has digitally mapped all the logging paths and equipped tree harvesters with satellite so the machines can easily follow the same route for decades and easily find them in the chaotic aftermath of a storm. GPS data is used to record how much wood was taken from which location—a crucial upgrade in a forest with many different owners. Now up to half of European tree species are unsuited to rising temperatures and extended drought periods, so Roth has begun experimenting with new species, planting them in small groups and keeping track of them in his system. With a forest in flux (不断变化), there are dozens of areas that need interventions at different times, and there are not enough employees to keep it all straight, he says: “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost.” 28. What does the underlined “That” refer to in paragraph 1? A. The solution. B. The tool. C. The monitor. D. The title. 29. What does paragraph 2 highlight about technology in forestry? A. Its speed and precision. B. Its operating principles. C. Its considerable expenses. D. Its limitations in application. 30. What does Roth emphasize in the last paragraph? A. The challenges of planting new tree species. B. The impact of climate change on European forests. C. The need for more employees in forest management. D. The importance of information management and recording. 31. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To show how technology changes forest care. B. To defend traditional methods of forest management. C. To explain the importance of planting new tree species. D. To highlight the challenges of climate change for forestry. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。主要介绍了森林管理员Martin Roth在面对气候变化时，如何利用高科技工具来管理和保护森林。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文““It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the title “digitalforster”, which refers to a ranger expert in employing high-tech tools.(“它已经变成了灾难管理，”罗斯说，对他来说，德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的3000英亩森林既是高科技解决方案的试验场，也为他赢得了“数字护林员”的称号，指的是使用高科技工具的护林员专家)”可知，代词指代前文提到的事物，此处应是“数字护林员”的称号。故选D项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After a disastrous storm, the clock starts ticking: Damaged trees need to be removed before the arrival of bark beetles, which multiply in dead trees and can go on to destroy entire forests.

With a forest in flux (不断变化), there are dozens of areas that need interventions at different times, and there are not enough employees to keep it all straight, he says: “Either I know it, or the computer knows it, or no one knows it and it’s lost.”(现在，多达一半的欧洲树种不适应不断上升的温度和延长的干旱期，因此罗斯开始试验新物种，以小群种植它们，并在他的系统中跟踪它们。随着森林的不断变化，有几十个区域需要在不同的时间进行干预，而没有足够的员工来保持一切正常，他说：“要么我知道，要么计算机知道，要么没有人知道，然后就丢失了。”)”可知，本段Roth强调了信息管理和记录的重要性。故选D项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When Martin Roth began his career as a forest ranger in the 1980s, his job was to care for the forest in a way that would ensure continuity for decades, even centuries. Now, with climate change, it’s more about planning for an uncertain future. “It’s turned into disaster management,” says Roth, for whom the 3,000 acres of forest along the northeastern shore of Lake Constance in Germany double as testing ground for high-tech solutions, earning him the title “digitalforster”, which refers to a ranger expert in employing high-tech tools. That was widely celebrated in the German forestry community.(当马丁·罗斯（Martin Roth）在20世纪80年代开始他的护林员职业生涯时，他的工作就是以一种能够确保森林在几十年甚至几个世纪内保持连续性的方式来照顾森林。现在，随着气候变化，更多的是关于为不确定的未来做计划。“它已经变成了灾难管理，”罗斯说，对他来说，德国康斯坦茨湖东北岸的3000英亩森林既是高科技解决方案的试验场，也为他赢得了“数字护林员”的称号，指的是使用高科技工具的护林员专家。这在德国林业界广受赞誉)”以及纵观全文可知，本文的目的是介绍森林管理员Martin Roth在面对气候变化时，如何利用高科技工具来管理和保护森林。故选A项。 D Consider the hierarchy (层次) of needs proposed in 1943 by the psychologist Abraham Maslow. Maslow believed that people tend to focus on meeting their needs in a particular order of urgency. We start with survival needs such as food, shelter, and safety. Once these have been met, we turn our attention to social and emotional needs, such as love and belonging. Finally, we focus on higher-order needs such as self-actualization — in other words, looking for life’s meaning. Of these three levels, money is only truly helpful for the first. This is why economists often find that well-being doesn’t improve much once a person reaches the relatively humble financial means that meet those needs. The “middle needs” of love and belonging — family, friends, romance — can’t be met with money, and pursuing money with too much gusto can even result in unexpected consequences. Focusing too much on money is actively opposed to Maslow’s highest-level needs, because doing so can lead people into a trap that researchers call “financial contingency of self-worth,” which happens when a person’s self-esteem is conditional on his or her financial success. This might explain why stress levels are high both when money is tight and when people reach higher income levels. A 2018 survey conducted by LinkedIn found that stress at work falls when people earn more than $50,000, but then starts to rise significantly when people earn above $200,000. One reason for the stress among high earners is their neglect (忽略) of relationships, according to some researchers. Perhaps your parents always put a lot of pressure on you to succeed financially, or you tend to be insecure about your self-worth and rely a lot on social comparison. One way or another, you might be measuring yourself in money, and without realizing it, hoping that at some point you will be “expensive” enough to earn others’ love and respect. Your instincts (直觉) might be telling you to earn more, more, more in order to find peace and satisfaction. Your instincts are lying, and you could get much happier by reassessing your priorities. 32. What is the primary role of money according to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs? A. It ensures a sense of safety. B. It satisfies all levels of needs. C. It is crucial for self-actualization. D. It is most effective for basic survival needs. 33. What does “gusto” mean in paragraph 2? A. Resistance. B. Enthusiasm. C. Indifference. D. Hesitation. 34. Why might pursuing money excessively lead to stress even at higher income levels? A. It leads to a constant need for financial growth. B. It complicates financial choices for the wealthy. C. It may overshadow social and emotional bonds. D. It increases the pressure to maintain high income. 35. What is the author’s view on using money as a measure of self-worth? A. It’s a natural response. B. It’s a reasonable pursuit. C. It’s a notable misconception. D. It’s a temporary phase in personal growth. 【答案】32. D 33. B 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，讨论了心理学家马斯洛的需求层次理论，以及金钱在满足人类需求中的作用。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“We start with survival needs such as food, shelter, and safety. Once these have been met, we turn our attention to social and emotional needs, such as love and belonging. Finally, we focus on higher-order needs such as self-actualization — in other words, looking for life’s meaning.(我们从生存需求开始，比如食物、住所和安全。一旦满足了这些需求，我们就会把注意力转向社会和情感需求，比如爱和归属感。最后，我们关注更高层次的需求，比如自我实现——换句话说，寻找生活的意义。)”以及第二段“Of these three levels, money is only truly helpful for the first. This is why economists often find that well-being doesn’t improve much once a person reaches the relatively humble financial means that meet those needs.(在这三个层面中，金钱只对第一个层面有真正的帮助。这就是为什么经济学家经常发现，一旦一个人达到了满足这些需求的相对微薄的经济手段，他的幸福感就不会有太大改善)”可知，这表明金钱对基本需求的满足最为有效，而对其他层次的需求帮助有限。故选D项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下段“Focusing too much on money is actively opposed to Maslow’s highest-level needs, because doing so can lead people into a trap that researchers call “financial contingency of self-worth,” which happens when a person’s self-esteem is conditional on his or her financial success.(过于关注金钱与马斯洛的最高层次需求是背道而驰的，因为这样做会让人们陷入一个陷阱，研究人员称之为‘自我价值的经济偶然性’，当一个人的自尊取决于他或她的经济成功时，就会发生这种情况)”可知，上文应是提到过于关注金钱，从而引出本段内容，推知gusto是“热情”之意，和B项意思相近。故选B项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“This might explain why stress levels are high both when money is tight and when people reach higher income levels. A 2018 survey conducted by LinkedIn found that stress at work falls when people earn more than $50,000,but then starts to rise significantly when people earn above $200,000. One reason for the stress among high earners is their neglect (忽略) of relationships, according to some researchers.(这也许可以解释为什么当钱紧张时和人们达到较高收入水平时，压力水平都很高。领英在2018年进行的一项调查发现，当人们的收入超过5万美元时，工作压力会下降，但当人们的收入超过20万美元时，工作压力就会开始显著上升。一些研究人员称，高收入者压力大的一个原因是他们忽视了人际关系)”可知，过度追求金钱可能会导致人们忽视人际关系，从而影响他们的社会和情感需求。故选C项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“One way or another, you might be measuring yourself in money, and without realizing it, hoping that at some point you will be “expensive” enough to earn others’ love and respect. Your instincts (直觉) might be telling you to earn more, more, more in order to find peace and satisfaction. Your instincts are lying, and you could get much happier by reassessing your priorities.(不管怎样，你可能会用金钱来衡量自己，而没有意识到这一点，希望在某个时候你会‘昂贵’到足以赢得别人的爱和尊重。你的本能可能会告诉你，为了找到平静和满足，你应该赚得更多、更多、更多。你的直觉在说谎，你可以通过重新评估你的优先级而变得更快乐)”可知，将金钱作为衡量自我价值的标准是一种错误观念。作者认为这种观念是一种错误认识。故选C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。 How to Make the Lasting Friendships You Want When it comes to our physical and mental health, friendship may truly be the best medicine.

Normally, he wouldn’t give them a second look. But one day, something caught his eye — a homeless dog that looked very similar to his own Labrador, Jake. He was worried that it might be his own dog that had got out of his house and wandered the street. Thinking of this, Brooks’s heart skipped a beat. He quickly pulled his truck over and got out to take a closer look. As he approached, he noticed the smaller dog watching him from the edge of the trees. Its eyes were cautious (谨慎的) but curious. It wasn’t Jake. A huge wave of relief washed over Brooks when he realized that. He drove away, but his mind kept drifting back to (飘回) the lonely figure by the trees. The next day, Brooks couldn’t shake the memory of the small dog. As he drove past the same spot, he saw that the dog was still there. Brooks pulled over again. This time, he called out softly, “Come here, boy.” The small dog looked at him for a moment, and then disappeared into the trees. Brooks could see its ribs (肋骨) sticking out — it was clearly hungry and scared. “Poor thing!” Brooks thought to himself. Brooks couldn’t get the image of the thin dog out of his mind. That afternoon, he found himself driving back to the spot. The small dog was still there. Brooks got out of his truck and opened a can of dog food he had brought along. “Come on, boy,” he urged. “Come eat.” The dog’s eyes shifted from Brooks to the food, but it remained still. Instead, it ran back into the trees, disappearing from sight again. “You stubborn dog,” Brooks sighed, shaking his head. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Suddenly it struck him that maybe Jake could help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Luckily, the small dog slowly began to settle into its new home. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly it struck him that maybe Jake could help. Brooks knew his Labrador had a gentle and welcoming nature, and perhaps that could coax the small dog out of the woods. He called Jake over and pointed to the spot where the dog had disappeared. “Go on, boy,” he urged. Jake rushed over, his tail wagging curiously. The small dog emerged cautiously from the trees, its eyes fixed on Jake. Brooks could see the tension in its body, but it seemed less afraid with Jake around. Slowly, it approached, sniffing the air, and Brooks could feel hope rising in his chest. Finally, Brooks managed to take the dog home. Luckily, the small dog slowly began to settle into its new home. Brooks named him Max, and over the next few days, he watched as Max’s confidence grew. Max would follow Jake everywhere, mimicking his every move, and gradually, he started to play. Brooks was surprised at how quickly Max adapted, his once wary eyes now filled with curiosity and joy. The two dogs became inseparable, and Brooks felt a deep sense of satisfaction knowing he had given Max a second chance at life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Brooks是一个平时对路边流浪动物漠不关心的司机，但某天他遇到一只酷似自家爱犬的流浪狗，内心产生波动。起初他担心那是自己走失的狗，确认不是后仍无法忘记它的身影。第二天，他再次路过发现小狗仍在原地，饥饿而警惕。尽管小狗因害怕而躲藏，Brooks还是特意带了食物返回，试图帮助它。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“他突然想到，也许Jake能帮上忙。”可知，第一段可描写Brooks如何通过Jake消除小狗的恐惧情绪，并带回家。 ②由第二段首句内容“幸运的是，小狗慢慢地开始适应它的新家。”可知，第二段可描写给小狗取名Max，并且Max在Jake的陪伴下，适应了新的环境。 2. 续写线索：带来Jake帮忙——消除恐惧——带回家——取名Max——适应新环境——感悟。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲：rush/dash ②露出：emerge/appear ③模仿：mimic/imitate 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/amazed ②喜悦：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Brooks knew his Labrador had a gentle and welcoming nature, and perhaps that could coax the small dog out of the woods. (省略和不省略that引导的宾语从句) [高分句型2] The two dogs became inseparable, and Brooks felt a deep sense of satisfaction knowing he had given Max a second chance at life.
