Chicago Overview Enjoy a unique creative outlet, and learn the ins and outs of graffiti and street art — during this hands-on urban art workshop. Pick from multiple class times.

But the baby elephants grew up strong thanks to their rescuer’s incredible love, care and attention.So when the day came for Roxy Danckwerts to say goodbye to Bumi, Moyo and five others she has helped and raised at her elephant nursery, it was a bittersweet moment. Miss Danckwerts accompanied them every inch of the way as they were transported from the nursery run by her charity Wild Is Life (WIL) in Harare Zimbabwe, to a reserve on the southern African country’s western border. There they can learn to live independently, integrate with and eventually join established wild herds traveling through the area. Bumi, a male aged three, was rescued when he was a month old in 2019.He had somehow got stuck among rocks and suffered severe sunburn in the terrible heat. After arriving at his new home on the 85,000-acre reserve, Bumi is pictured here enjoying a refreshing drink of water, next to Unity, who arrived at the nursery in 2017 after her mother stopped producing milk due to a drought, and Sienna, rescued in 2022 after being spotted alone aged 15 months and suffering from malnutrition (营养不良). Moyo, a female now aged nine, was the first elephant rescued by WIL. She was days old and only knee-high when she was found stuck in water in 2014 during heavy rains. Roxy and Moyo formed a very special bond. Moyo began to regard her as her mother — and also grew up to be a solace to the other orphans that arrived at the nursery after her, taking them under her trunk and helping them to recover from their own traumas. Miss Danckwerts has rescued dozens of baby elephants since she founded her nursery, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe. This is the third group to be transported by IFAW and WIL to the release facility. Miss Danckwerts’ work will now continue as more orphans arrive at her nursery. Doubtless, there will be many more magical moments to come which neither she nor, of course, the elephants will ever forget. 4. Where would the elephants be transported to? A. Another base of Wild Is Life. B. A reserve in the west of Zimbabwe. C. A shelter in a western African country. D. Miss Danckwerts’ nursery in Zimbabwe. 5. What happened to Unity before she came to the nursery? A. She lost her mother. B. She suffered severe sunburn. C. She was caught in the heavy rain. D. She was threatened with starvation. 6. What does the underlined word “solace” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Comfort. B. Failure. C. Disaster. D. Promise. 7. We can infer from the last paragraph that Miss Danckwerts’ job is_______. A. demanding B. frustrating C. fruitful D. wasteful C Most people who visit Michael Heizer’s City start out in Las Vegas, a place featuring the blaring sounds of slot machines, air conditioning, and the Bellagio Hotel’s famous fountains dancing in time to the songs of Celine Dion. So it’s quite a shock, after a three-hour drive north, to find yourself in the middle of the baking Nevada desert, surrounded by absolute silence. For over five decades, American artist Michael Heizer has been working in this remote environment to complete a gigantic art work. Located at least a 90-minute drive from the nearest small town, and costing around $40 million in construction and maintenance, City is one of the largest artworks in the world. It recently opened to the public. Heizer started work on City in 1970.The artist built his masterwork out of local rock and dirt. The site is more than one-and-a-half miles long by a half-mile wide, and consists of piles of low, gravel-covered mounds (土堆), as well as sculptures made of smooth concrete and rough stone separated by a network of rocky runways and winding streets. Only up to six people are allowed to visit the work per day. Audiences aren’t permitted to take photos and can only engage with the work by being fully immersed in it. There’s no welcome center, restroom, or shade from the desert sun. There’s really nothing else to do except wander along the seemingly-endless dirt pathways, and get up close to the grand architectural forms. Heizer became known for creating huge remote artworks that looked like they’d been put there by superhuman forces. When it comes to why he creates an art work on such a large scale, Heizer said, “I’m not here to tell people what it all means. You can figure it out for yourself.” So National Public Radio (NPR) turned to Los Angeles County Museum of Art director Michael Govan, who has been helping Heizer get City ready for the public since the mid-1990s. “Heizer doesn’t come for the opening party,” said Govan. “He comes to make the work and to push definitions of what art is.” 8. How does the author highlight the “silent” feature of City? A. By making a long list. B. By presenting some opinions. C. By making a comparison. D. By presenting some facts. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. What the art work is like. B. When the art work was built. C. How the art work was created. D. Where the art work is situated. 10. What can tourists do at City? A. Shelter under the trees. B. Wander along the dirt paths. C. Participate in its creation. D. Share its beauty on social network. 11. What is Michael Heizer unwilling to do? A. Create more artworks like City. B. Voice his opinions on modern art. C. Explain his purpose of creating City. D. Figure out the meaning of an artwork. D In the United States nearly 15% of the 92 million tons of clothing and other textiles are recycled annually, meaning that about 17 million tons of textiles are sent to landfills each year. Much of the problem lies in the fact that recyclers have a hard time knowing what exactly the item is made of, and thus, these mountains of textiles are incredibly difficult to sort. Tags are often cut off or washed, and printed information can wear off. Missing or inaccurate knowledge about an item’s fiber composition can make textile recycling cost-prohibitive. Good news is that a University of Michigan-led team has developed woven-in labels made with inexpensive photonic fibers (光子纤维), which ensure that the materials used in clothes can be easily identified. “It’s like a barcode that’s woven directly into the fabric of clothes,” said Max Shtein, a University of Michigan professor. “We can customize the photonic properties of the fibers to make them visible to the naked eye, readable only under near-infrared (近红外) light or any combination.” A similar concept is already in use by recyclers for some materials. Recyclers already use near-infrared sorting systems that identify different materials according to their naturally occurring optical (光学的) signatures. The PET plastic in a water bottle, for example, looks different under near-infrared light than the HDPE plastic in a milk jug.Like different plastics, different fabrics also have unique optical signatures. But as Brian Iezzi, lead author of the study, explains, those signatures don’t help recyclers much because so many fabrics are comprised of a mix of materials. “For a truly circular recycling system to work, it’s important to know the precise composition of a fabric—a cotton recycler doesn’t want to pay for a piece of clothing that’s made of 70% polyester,” Iezzi said. “Natural optical signatures can’t provide that level of precision, but our photonic fibers can.” “As electronic devices like cell phones develop, they could potentially have the ability to read this kind of photonic labeling,” Shtein said. “So I could imagine a future where woven-in labels are a useful feature for consumers as well as recyclers.” 12. What is the challenge in textile recycling in the US? A. The poor quality in old clothes. B. The difficulty in sorting textiles. C. The high cost of collecting textiles. D. The lack of drop-off sites for clothes. 13. What can we infer about the newly developed label? A. It is hard to wear off. B. It looks like a barcode. C. It is invisible to the naked eye. D. It contains more textile fibers. 14. What is Brian Iezzi’s attitude towards using near-infrared light to recycle clothes? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What could be the best title for the text? A. Tons of textiles are landing in US landfills. B. Fast fashion is endangering the environment. C. Woven-in labels are the new fashion coming soon. D. Clever invention revolutionizes clothing recycling. 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。 When you’re bored out of your mind, drawing is a quick and easy way to involve yourself in some creative fun.

Pick a piece you love and draw it to learn how it was made. C. Don’t worry: we’ve got you covered if you’re short on inspiration. D.

He often wandered among the trees, escaping from his problems at school where he struggled to make friends. One day, as Tim was exploring, he found a small injured fox trapped in the bush. With a gentle touch and kind words, Tim managed to free the fox. Its leg was badly injured, and Tim knew he had to help. Despite his limited resources, he made a makeshift bandage and tended to the fox’s wound. Over the weeks that followed Tim visited the fox every day, bringing food and attending to its injuries. The fox, initially distrustful, grew to trust Tim. A special bond developed between them, and they became inseparable friends. The fox’s playful nature brought joy and warmth to Tim’s life, while Tim’s care gave the fox a chance of recovery. Together, they explored the woods, played, and even shared quiet moments by the riverside. As the fox’s leg healed, Tim realized that he had also healed in a way. The fox had taught him about trust, friendship, and the simple joys of life. He felt a connection he had never felt before, not with humans, but with this wild creature that had become his friend. One day, as the winter approached, Tim understood that the fox needed to rejoin its family and live its life in the wild. With a heavy heart, he led the fox to the edge of the forest, knowing that it was time to say goodbye. The fox seemed to understand, looking back at Tim with knowing eyes. They shared a final moment, a mutual gratitude for the friendship that had changed both their lives. Then, the fox turned and disappeared into the forest, leaving Tim with memories that would last a lifetime. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After the fox’s departure, Tim felt a strong sense of loss but also a newfound strength. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years later, Tim still visited the woods, feeling the presence of his old friend. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高三英语 本试卷共150分　考试时间120分钟 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) 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.How long did those born before 1993 use to train?

After arriving at his new home on the 85,000-acre reserve, Bumi is pictured here enjoying a refreshing drink of water, next to Unity, who arrived at the nursery in 2017 after her mother stopped producing milk due to a drought, and Sienna, rescued in 2022 after being spotted alone aged 15 months and suffering from malnutrition (营养不良). Moyo, a female now aged nine, was the first elephant rescued by WIL. She was days old and only knee-high when she was found stuck in water in 2014 during heavy rains. Roxy and Moyo formed a very special bond. Moyo began to regard her as her mother — and also grew up to be a solace to the other orphans that arrived at the nursery after her, taking them under her trunk and helping them to recover from their own traumas. Miss Danckwerts has rescued dozens of baby elephants since she founded her nursery, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe. This is the third group to be transported by IFAW and WIL to the release facility. Miss Danckwerts’ work will now continue as more orphans arrive at her nursery. Doubtless, there will be many more magical moments to come which neither she nor, of course, the elephants will ever forget. 4. Where would the elephants be transported to? A. Another base of Wild Is Life. B. A reserve in the west of Zimbabwe. C. A shelter in a western African country. D. Miss Danckwerts’ nursery in Zimbabwe. 5. What happened to Unity before she came to the nursery? A. She lost her mother. B. She suffered severe sunburn. C. She was caught in the heavy rain. D. She was threatened with starvation. 6. What does the underlined word “solace” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Comfort. B. Failure. C. Disaster. D. Promise. 7. We can infer from the last paragraph that Miss Danckwerts’ job is_______. A. demanding B. frustrating C. fruitful D. wasteful 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Roxy Danckwerts女士在津巴布韦创办的大象幼儿园救助并抚养多只小象的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Miss Danckwerts accompanied them every inch of the way as they were transported from the nursery run by her charity Wild Is Life (WIL) in Harare, Zimbabwe, to a reserve on the southern African country’s western border. (Danckwerts女士全程陪伴着它们，从她在津巴布韦哈拉雷经营的Wild Is Life(WIL)慈善机构的大象幼儿园，被运送到这个非洲南部国家西部边境的自然保护区。)”可知，这些大象被运送到津巴布韦西部的一个自然保护区。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After arriving at his new home on the 85,000-acre reserve, Bumi is pictured here enjoying a refreshing drink of water, next to Unity, who arrived at the nursery in 2017 after her mother stopped producing milk due to a drought(抵达位于85000英亩保护区的新家后，布米在Unity旁边喝着一杯清凉的水，Unity在2017年来到这个幼儿园，当时它的母亲因为干旱而停止产奶)”可知，Unity在来到幼儿园之前，它的母亲因为干旱而停止产奶，可以推测它当时面临着饥饿的威胁。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“Roxy and Moyo formed a very special bond. Moyo began to regard her as her mother(Roxy和Moyo之间形成了一种非常特殊的联系。Moyo开始把她当作自己的母亲)”以及画线词后文“taking them under her trunk and helping them to recover from their own traumas(用她的象鼻搂住它们，帮助它们从自己的创伤中恢复过来)”可知，Moyo把Roxy当作自己的母亲，而她长大后也模仿Roxy去安慰其他来到幼儿园的小象，即Moyo成了其他小象的“安慰”。故画线词意思是“安慰”与A选项“Comfort.(安慰)”为同义词。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Miss Danckwerts has rescued dozens of baby elephants since she founded her nursery, the first of its kind in Zimbabwe. This is the third group to be transported by IFAW and WIL to the release facility. Miss Danckwerts’ work will now continue as more orphans arrive at her nursery. Doubtless, there will be many more magical moments to come which neither she nor, of course, the elephants will ever forget. (自从Danckwerts女士创办了这个在津巴布韦首屈一指的幼儿园以来，她已经救助了几十只小象。这是IFAW和WIL运送到放生点的第三组小象。随着更多的孤儿来到她的幼儿园，Danckwerts女士的工作将继续进行。毫无疑问，未来还会有更多神奇的时刻，这些时刻无论是她还是大象们，都永远不会忘记。)”可知，Danckwerts女士的工作很有意义且富有成效，救助了很多小象，也给它们带来了很多神奇的时刻。故选C项。 C Most people who visit Michael Heizer’s City start out in Las Vegas, a place featuring the blaring sounds of slot machines, air conditioning, and the Bellagio Hotel’s famous fountains dancing in time to the songs of Celine Dion. So it’s quite a shock, after a three-hour drive north, to find yourself in the middle of the baking Nevada desert, surrounded by absolute silence. For over five decades, American artist Michael Heizer has been working in this remote environment to complete a gigantic art work. Located at least a 90-minute drive from the nearest small town, and costing around $40 million in construction and maintenance, City is one of the largest artworks in the world. It recently opened to the public. Heizer started work on City in 1970.The artist built his masterwork out of local rock and dirt. The site is more than one-and-a-half miles long by a half-mile wide, and consists of piles of low, gravel-covered mounds (土堆), as well as sculptures made of smooth concrete and rough stone separated by a network of rocky runways and winding streets. Only up to six people are allowed to visit the work per day. Audiences aren’t permitted to take photos and can only engage with the work by being fully immersed in it. There’s no welcome center, restroom, or shade from the desert sun. There’s really nothing else to do except wander along the seemingly-endless dirt pathways, and get up close to the grand architectural forms. Heizer became known for creating huge remote artworks that looked like they’d been put there by superhuman forces. When it comes to why he creates an art work on such a large scale, Heizer said, “I’m not here to tell people what it all means. You can figure it out for yourself.” So National Public Radio (NPR) turned to Los Angeles County Museum of Art director Michael Govan, who has been helping Heizer get City ready for the public since the mid-1990s. “Heizer doesn’t come for the opening party,” said Govan. “He comes to make the work and to push definitions of what art is.” 8. How does the author highlight the “silent” feature of City? A. By making a long list. B. By presenting some opinions. C. By making a comparison. D. By presenting some facts. 9. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. What the art work is like. B. When the art work was built. C. How the art work was created. D. Where the art work is situated. 10. What can tourists do at City? A. Shelter under the trees. B. Wander along the dirt paths. C. Participate in its creation. D. Share its beauty on social network. 11. What is Michael Heizer unwilling to do? A. Create more artworks like City. B. Voice his opinions on modern art. C. Explain his purpose of creating City. D. Figure out the meaning of an artwork. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了美国艺术家Michael Heizer在内华达沙漠中创作的巨型艺术作品《城市》。该作品位于偏远地区，规模巨大，由当地岩石和泥土建造而成，具有独特的沉默特征。游客需沉浸其中进行体验，且每日接待人数有限。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Most people who visit Michael Heizer’s City start out in Las Vegas, a place featuring the blaring sounds of slot machines, air conditioning, and the Bellagio Hotel’s famous fountains dancing in time to the songs of Celine Dion. So it’s quite a shock, after a three-hour drive north, to find yourself in the middle of the baking Nevada desert, surrounded by absolute silence. (大多数参观Michael Heizer的《城市》的人都是从拉斯维加斯出发的。拉斯维加斯是一个充斥着老虎机的嘈杂声、空调运转声，以及贝拉吉奥酒店著名的喷泉随着Celine Dion的歌曲翩翩起舞的地方。所以，在向北驱车三个小时后，当你发现自己置身于酷热的内华达沙漠之中，四周一片寂静时，着实会感到震惊)”可知，作者先描述了拉斯维加斯的繁华喧闹，然后引出处于绝对寂静中的大型艺术作品《城市》，通过这种对比突出《城市》的“寂静”特征。因此，作者通过对比来突出《城市》的“寂静”特征。故选C项。 9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“Heizer started work on City in 1970. The artist built his masterwork out of local rock and dirt. The site is more than one-and-a-half miles long by a half-mile wide, and consists of piles of low, gravel-covered mounds (土堆), as well as sculptures made of smooth concrete and rough stone separated by a network of rocky runways and winding streets. (Heizer于1970年开始创作《城市》。这位艺术家用当地的岩石和泥土建造了他的杰作。这个场地长1.5英里多，宽半英里，由一堆堆低矮的砾石覆盖的土堆组成，还有由光滑的水泥和粗糙的石头制成的雕塑，这些雕塑被岩石跑道和蜿蜒的街道网络分隔开)”可知，本段主要描述了这件艺术作品的外观、尺寸和构成材料等信息，即本段主要讲述的是这件艺术作品是什么样的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“There’s really nothing else to do except wander along the seemingly-endless dirt pathways, and get up close to the grand architectural forms. (除了沿着看似无尽的泥土小径漫步，近距离欣赏宏伟的建筑形式外，真的没有别的事情可做)”可知，游客在《城市》可以沿着泥土小径漫步。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段中“When it comes to why he creates an art work on such a large scale, Heizer said, ‘I’m not here to tell people what it all means. You can figure it out for yourself.’ (当谈到为什么他要创作如此大规模的艺术作品时，Heizer说：‘我在这里不是为了告诉人们它意味着什么。你可以自己弄清楚。’)”可知，Heizer不愿意解释他创作《城市》的目的。故选C项。 D In the United States, nearly 15% of the 92 million tons of clothing and other textiles are recycled annually, meaning that about 17 million tons of textiles are sent to landfills each year. Much of the problem lies in the fact that recyclers have a hard time knowing what exactly the item is made of, and thus, these mountains of textiles are incredibly difficult to sort. Tags are often cut off or washed, and printed information can wear off. Missing or inaccurate knowledge about an item’s fiber composition can make textile recycling cost-prohibitive. Good news is that a University of Michigan-led team has developed woven-in labels made with inexpensive photonic fibers (光子纤维), which ensure that the materials used in clothes can be easily identified. “It’s like a barcode that’s woven directly into the fabric of clothes,” said Max Shtein, a University of Michigan professor. “We can customize the photonic properties of the fibers to make them visible to the naked eye, readable only under near-infrared (近红外) light or any combination.” A similar concept is already in use by recyclers for some materials. Recyclers already use near-infrared sorting systems that identify different materials according to their naturally occurring optical (光学的) signatures. The PET plastic in a water bottle, for example, looks different under near-infrared light than the HDPE plastic in a milk jug.Like different plastics, different fabrics also have unique optical signatures. But as Brian Iezzi, lead author of the study, explains, those signatures don’t help recyclers much because so many fabrics are comprised of a mix of materials. “For a truly circular recycling system to work, it’s important to know the precise composition of a fabric—a cotton recycler doesn’t want to pay for a piece of clothing that’s made of 70% polyester,” Iezzi said. “Natural optical signatures can’t provide that level of precision, but our photonic fibers can.” “As electronic devices like cell phones develop, they could potentially have the ability to read this kind of photonic labeling,” Shtein said. “So I could imagine a future where woven-in labels are a useful feature for consumers as well as recyclers.” 12. What is the challenge in textile recycling in the US? A. The poor quality in old clothes. B. The difficulty in sorting textiles. C. The high cost of collecting textiles. D. The lack of drop-off sites for clothes. 13. What can we infer about the newly developed label? A. It is hard to wear off. B. It looks like a barcode. C. It is invisible to the naked eye. D. It contains more textile fibers. 14. What is Brian Iezzi’s attitude towards using near-infrared light to recycle clothes? A. Supportive. B. Unconcerned. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear. 15. What could be the best title for the text? A. Tons of textiles are landing in US landfills. B. Fast fashion is endangering the environment. C. Woven-in labels are the new fashion coming soon. D. Clever invention revolutionizes clothing recycling. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了美国纺织品回收面临的挑战，即由于难以确定纺织品的材质，导致分类困难。随后介绍了一项由密歇根大学团队发明的新技术——使用光子纤维编织的标签，可以轻松识别衣物材料，从而革新了纺织品回收行业。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Much of the problem lies in the fact that recyclers have a hard time knowing what exactly the item is made of, and thus, these mountains of textiles are incredibly difficult to sort.(问题的很大一部分在于回收者很难知道物品到底是由什么制成的，因此，这些堆积如山的纺织品极难分类。)”可知，美国纺织品回收面临的挑战是对纺织品进行分类很困难。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Good news is that a University of Michigan-led team has developed woven-in labels made with inexpensive photonic fibers (光子纤维), which ensure that the materials used in clothes can be easily identified.(好消息是，密歇根大学领导的一个团队开发了一种用廉价光子纤维织成的标签，这种标签可以确保衣服所用的材料很容易被识别出来。)”以及“It’s like a barcode that’s woven directly into the fabric of clothes,(它就像直接编织在衣服织物上的条形码，)”可知，这种新开发的标签很难被磨损掉，因为它是由光子纤维织成的，与衣物本身融为一体。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“But as Brian Iezzi, lead author of the study, explains, those signatures don’t help recyclers much because so many fabrics are comprised of a mix of materials.(但正如该研究的主要作者布莱恩·耶兹解释的那样，这些特征对回收者来说帮助不大，因为许多织物都是由多种材料混合而成的。)”可知，布莱恩·耶兹认为使用近红外光回收衣服的效果并不理想，因为很多织物都是由多种材料混合而成的，这使得近红外光很难准确识别。因此，他对使用近红外光回收衣服持怀疑态度。选项C“Doubtful.(怀疑的)”符合题意。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章主要介绍了密歇根大学团队开发的一种用廉价光子纤维织成的标签，这种标签可以确保衣服所用的材料很容易被识别出来，从而革新了纺织品回收行业。选项D“Clever invention revolutionizes clothing recycling(聪明的发明彻底改变了服装回收业)”准确地概括了文章的主旨大意。故选D。 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。 When you’re bored out of your mind, drawing is a quick and easy way to involve yourself in some creative fun.

He often wandered among the trees, escaping from his problems at school where he struggled to make friends. One day, as Tim was exploring, he found a small injured fox trapped in the bush. With a gentle touch and kind words, Tim managed to free the fox. Its leg was badly injured, and Tim knew he had to help. Despite his limited resources, he made a makeshift bandage and tended to the fox’s wound. Over the weeks that followed, Tim visited the fox every day, bringing food and attending to its injuries. The fox, initially distrustful, grew to trust Tim. A special bond developed between them, and they became inseparable friends. The fox’s playful nature brought joy and warmth to Tim’s life, while Tim’s care gave the fox a chance of recovery. Together, they explored the woods, played, and even shared quiet moments by the riverside. As the fox’s leg healed, Tim realized that he had also healed in a way. The fox had taught him about trust, friendship, and the simple joys of life. He felt a connection he had never felt before, not with humans, but with this wild creature that had become his friend. One day, as the winter approached, Tim understood that the fox needed to rejoin its family and live its life in the wild. With a heavy heart, he led the fox to the edge of the forest, knowing that it was time to say goodbye. The fox seemed to understand, looking back at Tim with knowing eyes. They shared a final moment, a mutual gratitude for the friendship that had changed both their lives. Then, the fox turned and disappeared into the forest, leaving Tim with memories that would last a lifetime. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After the fox’s departure, Tim felt a strong sense of loss but also a newfound strength. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Years later, Tim still visited the woods, feeling the presence of his old friend. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After the fox’s departure, Tim felt a strong sense of loss but also a newfound strength. He began to enjoy friendships at school, applying lessons of trust and empathy he had learned from the fox. As time went on, his loneliness was completely replaced with connections, and he even became more involved in animal welfare activities. The experience with the fox had transformed his perspective on relationships and helped him grow as a sociable person. Years later, Tim still visited the woods, feeling the presence of his old friend. The bond that they shared continued to have an impact on his entire life, leading him to become an animal doctor. The precious lessons that he learned from the fox about friendship, compassion, and healing never left him, shaping his future career and personal life in meaningful ways. That simple act of kindness to a wild creature had changed Tim’s life forever. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了孤独的男孩蒂姆在森林中救了一只受伤的小狐狸，并通过照顾它与其建立了深厚的友谊。在与小狐狸相处的日子里，蒂姆学会了信任、友谊和生活的简单快乐。随着小狐狸伤愈，蒂姆不得不放手让它回归自然，虽然感到失落但也因此变得更加坚强。这段经历让蒂姆开始享受学校的友谊，积极参与动物福利活动，最终成为了一名动物医生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“狐狸离开后，蒂姆感到一种强烈的失落，但也有了一种新的力量。”可知，第一段主要描写蒂姆在小狐狸离开后既感到失落又获得新生的力量。 ②由第二段首句“多年以后，蒂姆仍然来到树林里，感觉到了老朋友的存在。”可知，第二段主要描写多年后蒂姆仍然怀念小狐狸，他们的深厚情谊影响了蒂姆的一生。 2.续写线索：离别——失落与新生——怀念——影响深远——最终感悟 3词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：begin/start ②取代：replace/take the place ③导致：lead to/cause 情绪类 ①孤独：loneliness/solitude ②同情：compassion/sympathy 【点睛】[高分句型1]He began to enjoy friendships at school, applying lessons of trust and empathy he had learned from the fox.（现在分词作状语） [高分句型2]The precious lessons that he learned from the fox about friendship, compassion, and healing never left him, shaping his future career and personal life in meaningful ways. （that引导定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
