On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign. The contest serves two main purposes. First, some of America’s national parks are in remote and undeveloped areas, which are difficult or costly to reach. Fat Bear Week brings Alaska’s wilderness to fans’ computer screens. “It’s not limited to the fortunate few who can go to the river anymore, ”Fitz said. Second, Fat Bear Week brings attention to the bears and the ecosystems they live in. The 2,200 bears of Katmai are strong for feeding on some of the healthiest salmon(三文鱼)in the world, said Sara Wolman, a former park keeper. Salmon in the Pacific Northwest are suffering from overfishing, dam construction and warming rivers due to climate change. Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. For one week, people don’t have to focus on climate change or habitat loss. “Maybe things aren’t super great all the time in the world,” said Felicia Jimenez, who is a current Katmai keeper. “But there are some really fat bears in Alaska.” 4. Why did Bear 747 become the winner of Fat Bear Week in southern Alaska? A. It gained the most pounds. B. It was the heaviest. C. It presented the best photos. D. It was the most famous. 5. What is the purpose of paragraph 2? A. To show the popularity of fat bears. B. To review the history of the event. C. To praise Mike Fitz for his work. D. To explain the role of live webcams. 6. What can we learn about Katmai’s bears? A. They bring tourists to the park. B. They face a population decline. C. They remain difficult to be seen. D. They have a stable food source. 7. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Fat Bear Week: Conservation Is Joyful B. Brown Bears; Winter Survival Is Crucial C. Bear 747: A Fat Yet Healthy Champion D. Katmai’s Bears: A Special Beauty Contest C One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it instantly responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to Chat-GPT and specialist therapy (治疗) chatbots for convenient and inexpensive mental health support. Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction. One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience. On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation. All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chat-bots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. 8. What does the underlined word “boon” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Trap. B. Prize. C. Blessing. D. Challenge. 9. What does the recent analysis show about empathy? A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotion identification. C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination. 10. What can AI do according to Paragraph 4? A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire. C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior by intuition. 11. What does the author think of ChatGPT? A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor. C. Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’. D The rechargeable lithium-ion (锂离子) battery market is worth more than ＄50 billion. Lithium-ion batteries, whose demand continues to go up day by day, are used in a wide range of electronic devices. They are made of four main components, and cathode (阴极) is one of them. The cathode’s active material type is what determines the capacity of a battery. A recent study, led by Wang Yan, a material scientist of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, finds that lithium-ion batteries made with recycled cathodes work better than those with new cathodes. “The battery industry is expected to grow sharply in the next decade. This high demand has led companies to go to extremes, like increasing deep-sea mining, to gain access to the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries,” Wang said. “Mining minerals will have environmental impacts. Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out.” But until now, the prospect of using recycled materials in lithium-ion batteries has some manufacturers (制造商) worrying that it could impact performance. Thus, lithium-ion batteries are still not widely recycled. Aware of decreasing resources and environmental impact, Wang and other researchers set out to find a way to make recycling lithium-ion batteries economically practical. Through experiments, they could recover more than 90% of the key metals from spent batteries. These recovered metals became the basis of the new recycled battery’s cathode’s active material. In tests between Wang’s team’s recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition, the recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity. It took 11,600 charge cycles for recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their original capacity. That was about 50 percent better than the 7,600 observed cycles for new cathode batteries, the team reported. Those thousands of extra cycles could translate into years of better battery performance, even after repeated use and recharging. 12. What can we learn about lithium-ion batteries from the first paragraph? A. They are high in price. B. They are in great demand. C. They are limited in use. D. They are simple in composition. 13. What does Wang mainly talk about in paragraph 3? A. The target users of recycled batteries. B. The ways to get minerals for batteries. C. The major reasons for recycling batteries. D. The complex process of recycling batteries. 14. What are the manufacturers concerned about? A. Declining mineral resources. B. Difficult recycling techniques. C. Serious environmental problems. D. Inefficient battery performance. 15. Which of the following details best supports the main idea of the text? A. The battery industry is going to develop dramatically. B. Recycling batteries reduces impact on the environment. C Scientists can recover key materials from spent batteries. D. Recycled batteries outperform new ones in charging circles. 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 Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever “May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. ___16___ So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known.

Using the money Star Wars had made for them, movie-theater owners built more theaters, leading to the multiplexes (多影厅影院) that are common today. Theaters needed more movies to show on all the additional movie screens and in all the new multiplexes.

Not that I enjoyed receiving those pre-printed slips of paper, but at least when I got one, I was pretty sure that a flesh-and-blood ___21___ had put it in the envelope. And there was always the chance I might see a handwritten sentence on the bottom, ___22___ the piece almost made it. When an editor at McCall’s wrote, “I’m afraid I have to say no on this ___23___ piece, but try me again on another, would you?” It was almost as ___24___ to me as if she had said, “We’ll ___25___ it and here is an advance for you”. Nowadays, rejection slips seem to have disappeared with the use of online submissions. Most editors don’t feel it a must to ___26___ they have received, read, or considered your work because they receive so many ___27___ each day. For me, there are three ___28___ of rejection slip pain. The first is ___29___ brought on by finding a flat “no” on a ____30____ piece of paper, then followed by anger (how could they ____31____ a piece that is obviously so much ____32____ than most of the stuff they print), and, finally, rebirth: I will live to ____33____ a new piece another day. Learning to ____34____ rejection seems like part of growing up as a writer.

The company I had worked for over a decade laid me off, leaving me frustrated with the high cost of urban living. It was time to leave and return to my roots—a rural farmhouse I had inherited from my grandfather. Driving back to the countryside recalled a flood of memories—the country road, the wooden cottage, the back yard garden…Yes! The garden! As a child, that garden was a magical place for me, an oasis (绿洲) bursting with colors and life. The bright sunflowers, elegant lilies and a wooden swing had been my playground, where my imagination ran wild among the fluttering (飞舞的) butterflies. I can well remember the gardening time spent with my grandfather. I would follow him around with a small watering can, often more water landing on my shoes than on the thirsty plants. Those were moments of pure joy and laughter, echoed by the splash (水花) and my grandfather’s gentle laugh. However, as we approached my heart sank. The house, once the Eden (伊甸园) of rural charm, stood neglected. Windows broken and faded paint falling off the walls, all filled with the unpleasant smell. I hesitated to take a step further. What would my loved oasis be like? I dared not imagine. In contrast, my children, Emma and Jack, were immediately attracted. With delight, they dashed into the house, exploring and playing just as I had at their age. When they opened the door of the back yard, something amazing happened. Through it lay the garden, untended and wild, yet undeniably beautiful. Overgrown with wildflowers and tall grasses, it had a purely natural beauty that seemed to be full of life The sight sparked an immediate reaction from my kids. They dashed into the garden, with infectious laughter echoing through the air. Just then my wife came up, tapping my shoulder. “Nature always finds a way to start over, doesn’t it?” she said with a smile that warmed my heart. Her words, filled with wisdom and optimism, echoed around us, mixed with the chorus of rustling (沙沙声) leaves and birdsong. 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。 The days that followed were filled with repairing and gardening. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In this unexpected return to my roots, I found a new strength and joy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024学年第二学期高三英语(二) 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.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“On October 5, Katmai National Park and Preserve in southern Alaska kicked off Fat Bear Week, when fans compare before and after photos of bears to vote for the one they think has gained the most weight before they bed down for the long freezing winter. Bear 747, also known as “Bear Force One”, took the first-place spot with 68,105 votes. It weighed around 1,400 pounds. (10月5日，阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区拉开了“胖熊周”的序幕，粉丝们根据前后对比照片，投票选出他们认为体重增加最多的那只熊。“熊747”，也被称为“熊力一号”，以68105票获得第一名。它重约1400磅)”可知，粉丝们投给他们认为体重增加最多的熊，所以Bear 747获胜是因为它体重增加得最多。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Fat Bear Week started in 2014.At first it was just Fat Bear Tuesday. Mike Fitz, a former park keeper at Katmai, noticed that live webcams showing the bears generated a lot of online comments, so he let people vote for their favorite fat bear on the Internet. The one-day event attracted 1,700 votes. In 2015, it was extended to a week. Last year, nearly 800,000 people got involved, turning it into a global campaign.(胖熊周始于2014年。一开始只是胖熊星期二。迈克·菲茨(Mike Fitz)是卡特迈(Katmai)的前公园管理员，他注意到直播的网络摄像头显示熊在网上引起了很多评论，所以他让人们在网上为他们最喜欢的胖熊投票。为期一天的活动吸引了1700人投票。2015年，假期延长至一周。去年，近80万人参与其中，使之成为一场全球性的运动)”可推知，本段旨在回顾“胖熊周”的历史。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“Luckily, Brooks River, which Katmai’s bears like to fish in, has been free from these threats so far. (幸运的是，到目前为止，布鲁克斯河还没有受到这些威胁，卡特迈公园的熊喜欢在此捕鱼)”可知，卡特迈公园的熊有一个稳定的食物来源。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其最后一段中“Fat Bear Week has spread like viruses. Fans and creators say it’s because it shows a conservation success story. (胖熊周像病毒一样传播开来。粉丝和创作者说，这是因为它展示了一个环保成功的故事)”可知，文章主要介绍了阿拉斯加南部的卡特迈国家公园和自然保护区举行的“胖熊周”活动，它以一种竞技方式让人们关注熊及它们所居住的生态系统。由此可知，A项“胖熊周：环境保护也可以很快乐”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 C One day I typed into ChatGPT all about my upset feelings and it instantly responded, offering a list of practical advice. Nowadays millions of people are already turning to Chat-GPT and specialist therapy (治疗) chatbots for convenient and inexpensive mental health support. Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. But others worry about the consequences of people seeking emotional support from machines that can only pretend to care. Some even wonder if the rise of so-called empathetic AI might change the way we interact with one another. Indeed, empathy is one of our species’ defining qualities, developing as it did in pace with social interaction. One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. They must also be affected by those emotions and differentiate between themselves and the other person, grasping that the other person’s feelings aren’t their own while still being able to imagine their experience. On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation. All of this helps to explain conversations like the ones I had with ChatGPT. At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chat-bots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. 8. What does the underlined word “boon” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Trap. B. Prize. C. Blessing. D. Challenge. 9. What does the recent analysis show about empathy? A. It calls for clear communication. B. It starts with emotion identification. C. It rules out individual difference. D. It depends on rich imagination. 10. What can AI do according to Paragraph 4? A. Provide data-driven feedback. B. Recognize one’s real desire. C. Update large language models. D. Predict one’s behavior by intuition. 11. What does the author think of ChatGPT? A. Its development should be sped up. B. Its intelligence is winning more favor. C. Its application should be strictly managed. D. Its artificial kindness is no match for humans’. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了AI聊天机器人在提供心理支持方面的利弊，以及与人类真正同理心的差距。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Some experts say this is a boon. After all, AI, undisturbed by embarrassment and burnout, might be able to express empathy (同理心) more openly and tirelessly than humans. (一些专家认为这是一件boon。毕竟，人工智能不会受到尴尬情绪的影响，也不会感到疲惫不堪，它或许能够比人类更坦率、更不知疲倦地表达同理心。)”可知，这里提到人工智能因为不受尴尬和疲惫的影响，可能在表达同理心上比人类更开放、不知疲倦，因此某些专家认为，这是人工智能在心理健康支持方面的优势，是一种好事。所以boon在这里意为“好事，益处”，与选项C“Blessing (好事)”意思相符。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“One recent analysis about empathy looked at 52 studies published between 1980and 2019, which shows that the empathiser must first be able to recognize how the other person is feeling. (最近有一项关于同理心的分析，研究了1980年至2019年间发表的52项研究，结果表明，产生同理心的人首先必须能够识别出对方的感受。)”可知，关于同理心的最近分析表明，同理心的首要条件是能够识别另一个人的感受。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“On the first point, in recent years, AI-powered chatbots have made progress in their ability to read human emotions, most powered by large language models (LLMs) that work by predicting which words are most likely to appear together based on training data. In this way, LLMs like ChatGPT can seemingly identify our feelings and respond appropriately most of the time. (从第一点来看，近年来，由人工智能驱动的聊天机器人在识别人类情感的能力方面取得了进展，它们大多由大型语言模型（LLMs）驱动，这种模型的工作原理是根据训练数据来预测哪些单词最有可能一起出现。通过这种方式，像ChatGPT这样的大型语言模型似乎在大多数时候都能识别我们的情绪，并做出恰当的回应。)”可知，人工智能如ChatGPT 能够识别我们的情感并做出适当的反应，这是基于大量语言模型对数据的预测能力，即能够提供数据驱动的反馈。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“But when it comes to the other criteria, AI still misses the mark in many ways. Empathy is interpersonal, with continued feedback helping to perfect the empathiser’s response, which also requires some degree of intuitive (直觉的) awareness of an individual and their situation. (但在其他标准方面，人工智能在很多方面仍未达标。同理心是一种人际关系的体现，持续的反馈有助于完善产生同理心者的回应，这也需要对一个人及其处境有一定程度的直觉意识。)”以及最后一段的“At the end of the day, despite talking to multiple chat-bots online, I did what I knew I had to do all along: I picked up my phone and called a friend. (最终，尽管我在网上与多个聊天机器人进行了交流，但我还是做了我一直知道自己必须做的事：我拿起电话，给一个朋友打了电话。)”可知，虽然ChatGPT能提供一定的帮助，但在作者看来，它的人工善意仍然不能与真实的人类情感交流相比。由此可推知，作者认为它的人工善意无法与人类的相比。故选D。 D The rechargeable lithium-ion (锂离子) battery market is worth more than ＄50 billion. Lithium-ion batteries whose demand continues to go up day by day, are used in a wide range of electronic devices. They are made of four main components, and cathode (阴极) is one of them. The cathode’s active material type is what determines the capacity of a battery. A recent study, led by Wang Yan, a material scientist of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, finds that lithium-ion batteries made with recycled cathodes work better than those with new cathodes. “The battery industry is expected to grow sharply in the next decade. This high demand has led companies to go to extremes, like increasing deep-sea mining, to gain access to the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries,” Wang said. “Mining minerals will have environmental impacts. Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out.” But until now, the prospect of using recycled materials in lithium-ion batteries has some manufacturers (制造商) worrying that it could impact performance. Thus, lithium-ion batteries are still not widely recycled. Aware of decreasing resources and environmental impact, Wang and other researchers set out to find a way to make recycling lithium-ion batteries economically practical. Through experiments, they could recover more than 90% of the key metals from spent batteries. These recovered metals became the basis of the new recycled battery’s cathode’s active material. In tests between Wang’s team’s recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition, the recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity. It took 11,600 charge cycles for recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their original capacity. That was about 50 percent better than the 7,600 observed cycles for new cathode batteries, the team reported. Those thousands of extra cycles could translate into years of better battery performance, even after repeated use and recharging. 12. What can we learn about lithium-ion batteries from the first paragraph? A. They are high in price. B. They are in great demand. C. They are limited in use. D. They are simple in composition. 13. What does Wang mainly talk about in paragraph 3? A. The target users of recycled batteries. B. The ways to get minerals for batteries. C. The major reasons for recycling batteries. D. The complex process of recycling batteries. 14. What are the manufacturers concerned about? A. Declining mineral resources. B. Difficult recycling techniques. C. Serious environmental problems. D. Inefficient battery performance. 15. Which of the following details best supports the main idea of the text? A. The battery industry is going to develop dramatically. B. Recycling batteries reduces impact on the environment. C. Scientists can recover key materials from spent batteries. D. Recycled batteries outperform new ones in charging circles. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了可充电锂离子电池市场价值超过500亿美元。锂离子电池的需求与日俱增，广泛应用于电子设备中。但为了保护环境回收锂离子电池也显得尤为重要，且回收电池的容量保持能力优于新电池。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段前两句内容“The rechargeable lithium-ion battery market is worth more than ＄50 billion. Lithium-ion batteries, whose demand continues to go up day by day, are used in a wide range of electronic devices. （可充电锂离子电池市场价值超过500亿美元。锂离子电池的需求与日俱增，广泛应用于电子设备中。）”可知，锂离子电池市场大，广泛应用电子设备中，它的需求量很大，与日俱增。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的内容“The battery industry is expected to grow sharply in the next decade. This high demand has led companies to go to extremes, like increasing deep-sea mining, to gain access to the minerals used in lithium-ion batteries, ” Wang said. “Mining minerals will have environmental impacts. Recycling spent lithium-ion batteries offers a way out. ” （电池行业预计将在未来十年迅速增长。这种高需求导致企业走向极端，比如增加深海采矿，以获得用于锂离子电池的矿物。”“采矿会对环境造成影响。回收废旧锂离子电池提供了一条出路）”可知，深海采矿获取锂离子矿物质会对环境造成影响，回收利用锂离子会减少对环境的破坏。因此第三段主要在讲回收电池的主要原因，即为保护环境。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一句“But until now, the prospect of using recycled materials in lithium-ion batteries has some manufacturers （制造商） worrying that it could impact performance.（但直到现在，在锂离子电池中使用可回收材料的前景让一些制造商担心它可能会影响性能。）”可知，目前在锂离子电池中使用可回收材料的前景让一些制造商担心它可能会影响性能，也就是说回收回来的锂离子电池性能低效。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段前三句内容“In tests between Wang's team's recycled batteries and brand-new batteries of the same composition, the recycled batteries outperform the new ones in their ability to maintain capacity. It took 11, 600 charge cycles for recycled cathode batteries to lose 30 percent of their original capacity. That was about 50 percent better than the 7, 600 observed cycles for new cathode batteries, the team reported. （在王的团队对回收电池和相同成分的全新电池进行的测试中，回收电池的容量保持能力优于新电池。回收的阴极电池需要11600次充电，才会失去原来容量的30%。研究小组报告说，这比新阴极电池观察到的7600个周期要好50%。）”可知，回收电池的容量保持能力优于新电池。回收的阴极电池需要11600次充电，才会失去原来容量的30%。研究小组报告说，这比新阴极电池观察到的7600个周期要好50%，可见在充电方面，回收电池的性能优于新电池。这篇文章主要是讲锂离子的需求变大，但开采锂离子矿物质会破坏环境，因此回收电池显得格外重要，所以D项最好地支持了文章的主要观点。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。 How Star Wars Changed Movie-making Forever “May the force be with you!” If you are a Star Wars fan, then you have probably heard this phrase many times. ___16___ So many characters, devices, and phrases from the movie have become well-known.

The company I had worked for over a decade laid me off, leaving me frustrated with the high cost of urban living. It was time to leave and return to my roots—a rural farmhouse I had inherited from my grandfather. Driving back to the countryside recalled a flood of memories—the country road, the wooden cottage, the back yard garden…Yes! The garden! As a child, that garden was a magical place for me, an oasis (绿洲) bursting with colors and life. The bright sunflowers, elegant lilies and a wooden swing had been my playground, where my imagination ran wild among the fluttering (飞舞的) butterflies. I can well remember the gardening time spent with my grandfather. I would follow him around with a small watering can, often more water landing on my shoes than on the thirsty plants. Those were moments of pure joy and laughter, echoed by the splash (水花) and my grandfather’s gentle laugh. However, as we approached my heart sank. The house, once the Eden (伊甸园) of rural charm, stood neglected. Windows broken and faded paint falling off the walls, all filled with the unpleasant smell. I hesitated to take a step further. What would my loved oasis be like? I dared not imagine. In contrast, my children, Emma and Jack, were immediately attracted. With delight, they dashed into the house, exploring and playing just as I had at their age. When they opened the door of the back yard, something amazing happened. Through it lay the garden, untended and wild, yet undeniably beautiful. Overgrown with wildflowers and tall grasses, it had a purely natural beauty that seemed to be full of life The sight sparked an immediate reaction from my kids. They dashed into the garden, with infectious laughter echoing through the air. Just then, my wife came up, tapping my shoulder. “Nature always finds a way to start over, doesn’t it?” she said with a smile that warmed my heart. Her words, filled with wisdom and optimism, echoed around us, mixed with the chorus of rustling (沙沙声) leaves and birdsong. 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。 The days that followed were filled with repairing and gardening. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In this unexpected return to my roots, I found a new strength and joy. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The days that followed were filled with repairing and gardening. Emma and Jack helped clear weeds while I fixed the broken windows. My wife revived the vegetable patch, planting seeds with the children. Though our hands grew calloused, laughter filled the air. Gradually, the garden regained its magic—sunflower sprouts emerged where wildflowers once ruled. One afternoon, Jack discovered the old wooden swing buried under vines. As I repaired it, Emma’s excited chatter about butterflies reminded me of my childhood wonder. By harvest season, the cottage glowed with fresh paint, and the garden buzzed with bees visiting new blossoms. In this unexpected return to my roots, I found a new strength and joy. Watching fireflies dance above the restored garden at dusk, I realized urban life had blinded me to nature’s healing rhythm. The children’s muddy smiles proved happiness needs no expensive toys. My unemployment, once a disaster, became a doorway to rediscover family bonds and life’s simple abundance. Now when city friends ask about our “escape,” I smile, remembering Grandfather’s wisdom: “Sometimes losing your way helps you find home.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位在经济萧条中失业的中年男性，作为都市职场人的十年生涯突然终结后，被迫回到继承自祖父的乡村老宅。当他带着都市生活的疲惫走近记忆中的童年乐园时，发现曾经充满生机的花园已荒芜破败，窗户碎裂、油漆剥落的景象与其珍藏的温暖回忆形成强烈反差——那里曾有他跟随祖父浇花时溅落的水花，有阳光下摇曳的向日葵和飞舞的蝴蝶。正当他陷入沮丧时，他的孩子Emma和Jack却在这片野性重生的自然中找到了纯粹的快乐，妻子那句“大自然总会找到重生之路”的智慧话语，最终让他领悟到生命自我更新的力量。 详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“接下来的日子里，修缮房屋和打理花园成了生活的全部。”可知，第一段可描写作者和家人一起修缮房屋和打理花园的欢乐时光。 ②由第二段首句内容“在这次意想不到的回归中，我找到了一种新的力量和快乐。”可知，第二段可描写作者的感悟，并最终走出失业的阴影。 2. 续写线索：修缮房屋——在花园播种——充满快乐——感悟——走出失业阴影。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：discover/find ②修理：repair/mend ③播种：plant seeds/sow seeds 情绪类 ①兴奋的：excited/thrilled ②快乐：joy/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1]Though our hands grew calloused, laughter filled the air.(运用了though引导的让步状语从句) [高分句型2]Watching fireflies dance above the restored garden at dusk, I realized urban life had blinded me to nature’s healing rhythm.(运用了省略that的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
