B I was 11 years old when I asked my mom for piano lessons in 2010. We were in the economic crisis. She said a polite “ no ”. That didn’t stop me. I googled the measurements for a keyboard, drew the keys on a piece of paper and stuck it on my desk. I would click notes on an online keyboard and “ play” them back on my paper one—keeping the sound they made on the computer in my head. I spent six months playing without touching a real piano. Once my mom saw that I was serious, she borrowed money and bought me 10 lessons. I still remember the first one. I was struck by how real the sound of the piano was. I sat my grade one after eight lessons. Once I started secondary school, we couldn’t afford lessons again. I passed grade three, and then grade five, practicing only on my piece of paper. One evening, when I was about 13, my mom said she had a surprise for me; it was an electronic keyboard, bought with more borrowed money. It was the first time I’d played for her. She was in shock. My school didn’t offer music A-level. I found the Purcell School for young musicians. But I had to pass a difficult test. Some of the questions involved an evaluation of the composer or when some piece was written. I felt stressed. To my amazement, I was offered a place. At Purcell, I spent two years working as hard as I could. I performed to raise money and save enough to buy my first piano. When I left Purcell, I was awarded the senior piano prize and senior academic music prize. I am now at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama in London. I feel proud: it’s been 10 years since I drew my paper piano, and I’m at one of the world’s leading music schools. The irony is that I continue to do a lot of my practice away from the piano---what we call mental practice. The paper piano helped arouse my curiosity about how music works, the building blocks that form the pieces. 4. Why did the author’s mom buy him 10 lessons at last? A. She was shocked by his first performance. B. She had no doubt about his talent for piano. C. She realized that he meant what he said. D. She suddenly made a fortune. 5. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Honest. B. Determined. C. Humorous. D. Optimistic. 6. The underlined word “irony” in the last paragraph shows that the author felt ________. A. surprised B. proud C. satisfied D. disappointed 7. What is the best title of the text? A. Mental Practice Matters B. A Surprise from Mum C. Learning An Instrument Costs Too Much D. Stick to Your Dreams C Showing Respect for Seniors Dads have Father’s Day. Moms have Mother’s Day. Kids have Children’s Day. But, do our grandparents have a special holiday? Yes, they do! The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for elderly people in China. The festival is on the ninth day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. As the Chinese word for nine has the same sound as the word for long, people take the Double Ninth Festival to show their wishes of long life for elderly people. There are many traditions for this festival. On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases. Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people. It is a traditional virtue in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow. 8. Which of the following may NOT be a tradition for the Double Ninth Festival? A. Cleaning houses. B. Wearing the plant zhuyu. C. Drinking chrysanthemum wine. D. Families climbing mountains together. 9. What is Paragraph 4 about? A. Why we should respect elderly people. B. Traditional ways of celebrating the festival. C. What young people usually do on this festival. D. Examples of respecting elderly people in daily life. 10. Which is NOT the correct way to respect elderly people? A. We should offer seats to the old while taking a bus. B. We should sit straight when the old come into a room. C. We should use double hands to present things to the old. D. We should introduce the oldest person first while eating at the table. 11. Why are Chinese people proud of being old? A. It means they don’t have to work for others. B. It means they have more virtues than others. C. It means they have knowledge and experience. D. It means what they did in the past was meaningful. D There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of delydration（脱水）. His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe（探测器）, marking the start of its trip to the sun. The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona（日冕）, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive? According to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025. NBC added. 12 What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraph? A. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe. B. To lead to the topic of researching the sun. C. To show the achievement of ancient China. D. To show the difficulties of studying the sun. 13. How many challenges will the probe meet to reach the sun? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 14. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The probe will reach the sun in 2025. B. The probe has been protected very well. C. The probe is the fastest man-made object. D. The probe has been prepared well for its aim. 15. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Taking a Closer Look at the Sun B. Discovering the Unknown Puzzles C. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the Sun D. The Scientific Value of Searching the Sun 七选五 Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits (展品)? When visiting the British Museum you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed. Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. ___16___ Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. ___17___ But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks. ___18___ Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first. But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. ___19___ Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves? Some people just want to make sure the artworks are real. But there’s a larger truth. ___20___ Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving (雕刻) goes, so as to better understand the artistic skills. In this way, touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past. A. Touch was allowed in museums at first. B. It helps to show respect for the ancient artists. C. You stop 100 people touching and there are 200 more. D. Visitors learn more about objects from reading signs around. E. You can’t really learn more about objects unless you touch them. F. But the bigger ones prefer to advertise themselves as no touching. G. Museums have come a long way since the time of the curiosity room. 三、完形填空 (每小题1分 共计15分) Our family enjoyed a beautiful houseplant for over thirty years.

I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead. I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry, sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.” As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me. I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： That was when I saw a young mother with her two kids. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Finally, I was about to give up when a man wearing a cheap T-shirt seemed to notice me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 驻马店市高中高一下期第四次考试英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，请考生务必把自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 4.满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 一、听力选择题(每小题1分，共计20分) 1.

They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. Both chrysanthemum and zhuyu are regarded as clean plants that can clean houses and cure diseases. Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people. It is a traditional virtue in China to respect elderly people. That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. Besides, to respect the elderly people is to respect yourself tomorrow. 8. Which of the following may NOT be a tradition for the Double Ninth Festival? A. Cleaning houses. B. Wearing the plant zhuyu. C. Drinking chrysanthemum wine. D. Families climbing mountains together. 9. What is Paragraph 4 about? A. Why we should respect elderly people. B. Traditional ways of celebrating the festival. C. What young people usually do on this festival. D. Examples of respecting elderly people in daily life. 10. Which is NOT the correct way to respect elderly people? A. We should offer seats to the old while taking a bus. B. We should sit straight when the old come into a room. C. We should use double hands to present things to the old. D.

It means they have more virtues than others. C. It means they have knowledge and experience. D. It means what they did in the past was meaningful. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了重阳节，列举了一些人们在日常生活中尊重老年人的例子，并讲述了尊重老年人是中华民族的一种传统美德。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“On that day, families get together and climb mountains for luck and in the hope that elderly people will live much longer. They also drink chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) and wear a plant called zhuyu to celebrate it. (在那一天，家人聚在一起爬山以求好运，并希望老年人能活得更久。他们还喝菊花酒，戴一种叫茱萸的植物来庆祝。)”可知在重阳节这天，家人聚在一起爬山，喝菊花酒并佩戴一种名为“茱萸”的植物，选项A没有提到。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“Respecting elderly people is shown not only on this special day but also in daily life. For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. When there are several guests at the table, the host usually introduces them from the oldest to the youngest. When a younger person is presenting something to an older person, two hands are used. On a crowded subway or bus, younger people always offer their seats to elderly people. (尊重老人不仅体现在这个特殊的日子里，也体现在日常生活中。例如，当一位老人进入房间时，每个人都站起来。当餐桌上有几位客人时，主人通常从年长的介绍到最小的。当年轻人向老年人递东西时，要用两只手。在拥挤的地铁或公共汽车上，年轻人总是给老年人让座。)”可知，第四段主要是一些人们在日常生活中尊重老年人的例子。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For example, when an older person enters a room, everyone stands up. (例如，当一位老人进入房间时，每个人都站起来。)”可知当一个老年人走进房间时，每个人都站起来，选项B“当老人走进房间时，我们应该坐直”表示有误。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“That’s because the Chinese know that elderly people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn from. So, Chinese people are proud of being old. (这是因为中国人知道老年人有知识和经验，年轻人可以学习。所以，中国人以年老而自豪。)”可知，中国人知道老年人有见识与经历，所以，中国人以年老为荣。故选C。 D There is an ancient Chinese story about a giant man named Kua Fu who chases the sun. He drains the Yellow and Wei rivers during his race and finally dies of delydration（脱水）. His failure has reminded people of the unstoppable power of the sun for centuries. And yet, scientists throughout history have tried to better understand the most important star in our sky. On Aug 12, NASA launched the Parker Solar Probe（探测器）, marking the start of its trip to the sun. The probe itself is almost as big as a car and needed the help of a powerful rocket to escape Earth’s orbit, change direction and reach the sun. In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona（日冕）, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation. So how will the probe survive? According to NASA, a special shield has been used, which is a special 11.5 cm-thick carbon-composite shield that will be positioned between the probe and the sun’s corona. It’s advanced technology like this that will make the probe’s trip to the sun much smoother. If everything goes as planned the probe will reach a speed of 692,018 kilometers per hour as it moves around the sun, setting a new record for the fastest man-made object in history, NBC noted. It will fly close to the sun 24 times between 2018 and 2025. NBC added. 12. What is the aim of mentioning Kua Fu in the first paragraph? A. To tell the origin of Parker Solar Probe. B. To lead to the topic of researching the sun. C. To show the achievement of ancient China. D. To show the difficulties of studying the sun. 13. How many challenges will the probe meet to reach the sun? A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four. 14. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. The probe will reach the sun in 2025. B. The probe has been protected very well. C. The probe is the fastest man-made object. D. The probe has been prepared well for its aim. 15. What may be the best title of the passage? A. Taking a Closer Look at the Sun B. Discovering the Unknown Puzzles C. The Story of Kuafu Chasing the Sun D. The Scientific Value of Searching the Sun 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【分析】本文为说明文。古有“夸父逐日”的故事，从古至今人们对于太阳的探索也从未止步。近日，美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开始了长达7年的探日之旅，人类“逐日”梦想终于要实现了。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。文章一开始提出夸父追日失败。接着下文叙述他的失败，警示人们太阳势不可挡的力量。然而，从古至今人们对于太阳的探索也从未止步。8月12日，美国美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开启了探日之旅。由此可知，第一段提出夸父追日的目的就是引出研究太阳的话题。分析选项可知B项符合题意，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“In order to reach the sun, the probe must complete seven flybys of Venus, using the power of the planet’s gravity to change its path, sending it toward the sun. But that’s not the only difficult part of the journey. As the probe approaches the sun’s corona, it will have to bear temperatures reaching 1,400℃, as well as deal with serious radiation”可知，为了接近太阳，帕克探测器需要7次飞掠金星，借助金星引力改变飞行轨道，不断靠近太阳。随着探测器不断靠近日冕，它还将面临1400摄氏度的高温和巨大的辐射。由此可知有三个难题。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。第三段内容“保护罩由厚度为11.5厘米的特殊碳复合材料制成，将探测器和太阳日冕隔开。这项先进技术将会令探测器的探日之旅更为顺利。按照计划，探测器将以每小时692018千米的速度进入太阳轨道，届时将成为迄今为止速度最快的人造物体。在2018-2025年期间，帕克将靠近太阳24次”由此可知，本段主要观点是“为了接近太阳，探测器已准备就绪”，D项符合题意，是正确的。根据内容可知“在2018-2025年期间，帕克将靠近太阳24次”，故A项中的探测器将于2025年到达太阳，故A错误。根据“进入太阳轨道，届时将成为（但现在不是）迄今为止速度最快的人造物体。”而C项“探测器现在是最快的人造物体”故C项错误。本段只是说保护罩的厚度及作用，保护的如何没有提及，故B项（探测器保护得很好）也是错误的。综合分析可知D正确。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段是主旨段，叙述了从古至今人们对于太阳的探索从未止步。近日，美国美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开始了长达7年的探日之旅。第二段和第三段主要叙述了在接近太阳时面临的问题，以及解决的方法。文章中的“the start of its trip to the sun.”、“reach the sun”、“approaches the sun’s corona”、“fly close to the sun”等的意思均为“到达、接近太阳”，这与A项“近距离观察太阳（Taking a Closer Look at the Sun）”意义一致，故选A。 【点睛】确定最佳标题的方法。在阅读文章时，要注意文章中反复出现的或强调的信息，寻找与文章大多数内容相关的信息。找出覆盖全文的核心词汇，看选项内容是否切中文章的中心论题。也就是要看选项内容与作者的写作目的是否一致。如第4小题，文章中的“the start of its trip to the sun.”、“reach the sun”、“approaches the sun’s corona”、“fly close to the sun”等的意思均为“到达、接近太阳”，这与A项“近距离观察太阳（Taking a Closer Look at the Sun）”相照应。 寻找文章的主题句。文章主要论题的关键是找到文章的主题句。主题句通常在文章的首段，也可能在文章的末段，在文章的某一段落，或分散在文章的各个段落中。如果每个段落都有主题句，那么把各段落的主题句的中心集中起来，即为全文的主题句。本题在通读全文可知，第一段是主旨段，叙述了从古至今人们对于太阳的探索从未止步。近日，美国美国国家航空航天局发射了帕克太阳探测器，开始了长达7年的探日之旅。第二段和第三段主要叙述了在接近太阳时面临的问题，以及解决的方法。文章中的“the start of its trip to the sun.”、“reach the sun”、“approaches the sun’s corona”、“fly close to the sun”等的意思均为“到达、接近太阳”，这与A项“近距离观察太阳（Taking a Closer Look at the Sun）”意义一致，故选A。 七选五 Why Can’t People Stop Touching Museum Exhibits (展品)? When visiting the British Museum, you can see visitors touch ancient bowls even though the museum rules say no touching is allowed. Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule. ___16___ Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. ___17___ But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells. But touch, especially, is only allowed in certain areas, like the Louvre’s Touch Gallery, or the British Museum’s Hands On Desks. ___18___ Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world. When people visited the collection, the objects were passed around. Museums continued with this spirit of openness at first. But as museums grew, the spirit no longer existed. When you’ve got 4 million visitors a year, you can hardly have every body touching something. People are awkward and likely to damage the artworks. So the rule against touching artworks makes great sense. Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects. ___19___ Why are we so unwilling to keep our hands to ourselves? Some people just want to make sure the artworks are real. But there’s a larger truth. ___20___ Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving (雕刻) goes, so as to better understand the artistic skills. In this way, touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past. A. Touch was allowed in museums at first. B. It helps to show respect for the ancient artists. C. You stop 100 people touching and there are 200 more. D. Visitors learn more about objects from reading signs around. E. You can’t really learn more about objects unless you touch them. F. But the bigger ones prefer to advertise themselves as no touching. G. Museums have come a long way since the time of the curiosity room. 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. F 20. E 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了为什么人们不能停止触摸博物馆的展品？ 【16题详解】 上文“Museum guards say it’s impossible to stop people from breaking the no-touch rule.(博物馆的保安说，不可能阻止人们违反禁止接触的规定)”说明要完全地阻止人们不接触展品是不可能的。故可推断空格处内容为解释为什么会是这样的情况。结合C项“You stop 100 people touching and there are 200 more.(你阻止了100个人的接触，然后还有200个人)”与该推断一致，为上文的解释。故选C项。 【17题详解】 上文“Most museum-going is still a mainly visual (视觉的) experience for visitors to admire the artworks. (大多数参观博物馆的游客仍然主要是通过视觉体验来欣赏艺术品)”以及下文“But over the past few years, more and more museums have been working to include additional senses, like sounds and smells.(但在过去几年里，越来越多的博物馆一直在努力添加额外的感官，比如声音和气味)”中“But”可知，和空格处形成了转折，故可推断空格处内容仍然在强调通过视觉体验，也是对上文的补充说明。结合D项“Visitors learn more about objects from reading signs around.(通过阅读周围的标记，你会对物体有更多的了解)”对上文的补充，以及符合下文的逻辑关系。故选D项。 【18题详解】 下文“Before there were museums, there were curiosity rooms filled with a collection of interesting objects from around the world.(在博物馆出现之前，有一些摆满了来自世界各地的有趣物品的好奇室)”中“curiosity rooms”为关键词，选项G“Museums have come a long way since the time of the curiosity room.(自好奇室时代以来，博物馆已经走过了漫长的道路)”中也提到“curiosity room”，再结合语意下文为空格处的解释说明，语意连贯。故选G项。 【19题详解】 由上文“Smaller museums still sometimes encourage visitors to touch their objects.(较小的博物馆有时仍然鼓励参观者触摸他们的物品)”中“Smaller”，以及句意，可推断空格处为相反意思的表达。F项“But the bigger ones prefer to advertise themselves as no touching.(但大一点的更喜欢标榜自己“不接触”)”中“bigger”和上文“Smaller”呼应，为一对反义词，以及与上文语意构成转折关系。故选F项。 【20题详解】 由下文“Visitors say that they want to feel how deep an engraving (雕刻) goes, so as to better understand the artistic skills. In this way, touching is part of trying to somehow make contact with the past.(参观者们说，他们想要感受雕刻的深度，以便更好地了解艺术技巧。通过这种方式，触摸是试图以某种方式与过去联系的一部分)”可推断，空格处内容为“如果你想更好地了解它，应用去触摸它”。E项“You can’t really learn more about objects unless you touch them.(除非你触摸物体，否则你无法真正了解它们)”与此推断内容一致，为下文意思的总结。故选E项。 三、完形填空 (每小题1分 共计15分) Our family enjoyed a beautiful houseplant for over thirty years.

I was in a busy shopping mall buying a large piece of luggage. After the purchase in one of the large and expensive shops, I picked up my phone from my pocket to call my driver waiting in the parking lot and my phone was dead. I then requested the shop assistant selling me the luggage, which was not cheap at all, if she could ring the number of my driver for me. She replied, still all smiles, “I’m sorry, sir, but it is the shop policy that we cannot use mobile phones while working in the shop.” As I was wondering what kind of policy that was, I saw a nice-looking teenage boy coming toward me. Remember my wife’s interesting theory that beautiful people are more likely to give you a hand when you’re in trouble, I thought I might have a chance. But before I could say a word, he walked past me. It turned out he simply didn’t see me. I waited in the mall but it seemed nobody bothered to look at me. Disappointed and tired, I got out of the shop on to the busy street in front. I stood there with people rushing by, looking at their faces to see if they will show kindness to me. I began wondering how many times I had reacted to strangers like the shop girl and the teenager. 注意： 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： That was when I saw a young mother with her two kids. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2： Finally, I was about to give up when a man wearing a cheap T-shirt seemed to notice me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That was when I saw a young mother with her two kids. She was talking on the phone, and her voice told me she was a gentle and patient lady. The two kids were neatly dressed and waited quietly beside her. This must be a nice family, I thought to myself. Therefore, I approached to make a request. But as soon as I said, “Excuse me madam,” she grabbed both her kids and went away. Did I look like someone trying to hurt people? I felt my heart sinking horribly. Finally, I was about to give up when a man wearing a cheap T-shirt seemed to notice me. I didn’t know why but I just stopped him and made my request. I was expecting him to rush past but he immediately called the number of my driver and waited till my car came to be sure I was picked up, turned around before I could thank him adequately and was gone. Surprised by his kindness, I promised I would do likewise to strangers who sought my help. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在购物中心购买了一件大行李后，发现自己的手机没电了，无法联系在停车场等待的司机。他请求商店店员帮忙打电话，但被告知商店规定不允许员工在工作时使用手机。这时他想到妻子提过的“你遇到麻烦时，漂亮的人更有可能帮你一把”的有趣理论，打算向一个看似有希望的英俊少年求助，但少年并没有注意到他。作者试图在繁华的街道上向人求助，但没有人注意到他的困境。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，我看到一位年轻的母亲和她的两个孩子”和第二段首句中的“正当我要放弃的时候”可知，第一段可描写作者观察这位母亲和她的孩子，觉得他们很友好，于是上前求助，但不幸被拒绝。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，正当我要放弃的时候，一个穿着廉价T恤的男人似乎注意到了我”可知，第二段可描写作者向这个男人求助，男人提供帮助，以及作者对这次经历的感悟。 2. 续写线索：看到母子三人——观察他们——求助被拒绝——被男人注意到——求助成功——作者感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①走近：approach/come near ②提出请求：make a request/ask for a favor ③伤害：hurt/harm ④走开：go away/walk away 情绪类 ①感谢：thank/express gratitude to/say thank you to ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】[高分句型1] But as soon as I said, “Excuse me madam,” she grabbed both her kids and went away.
