B I look forward to my half hour train ride to work every morning. I can look out of the window as it twists and turns itself through neighborhoods with the sun casting its strong lighting on the floor of the train car. I sometimes get lost in thought while following the light. But the reason I love this ride is that it’s a reminder of how neighborhoods can change from block to block. For almost a year now I have been riding this train as I head into the office where I work as a reporter for a local magazine. I am one of 13 journalists who help report community news in areas that are often forgotten. And for me, that means covering areas like the one I grew up in. Last week, as I was on the way to my office, I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis. I searched addresses on the city’s southwest side, a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down, I scanned the street views recorded on my phone and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007. Then I set out to visit the city block, and that’s when I met 3-year-old Harmony. Harmony loved collecting rocks for me to hold as I walked down the street with her mother, Marquita. I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past, but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block, who were really friendly to each other. However, people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other. Marquita has lived on this block her entire life, and Harmony has for most of her short life as well. But the neighborhood that Marquita grew up in will be one obviously different than the one Harmony will grow to know. In the end, they smiled at my camera. And then I got back on the train and headed back to the office to tell their stories. 4. What makes the author love his train ride to work? A. Being lost in thought. B. Admiring the outside views. C. Enjoying the warm sunshine. D. Knowing the change of blocks. 5. How did the author find out what the city’s southwest side looked like in the past? A. By reading earlier reports. B. By interviewing local people. C. By watching past street views. D. By searching his memories. 6. How might Marquita feel when she talked with the author? A. Sad. B. Nervous. C. Touched. D. Confused. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To share a pleasant train ride with us. B. To tell us the work of a news reporter. C. To show us a crowded community. D. To introduce a new neighborhood. C Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings. In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison in the container. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it. Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times on the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. The Mayo Clinic’s health centers suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush (压坏) blood passages and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the Infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical Help arrives. To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area. If you know first aid methods, you can be calmer and more helpful in case of emergency. 8. Which of the following is NOT the cause of accidental poisonings according to the passage? A. A harmful medicine. B. An insect-killing chemical. C. A cleaning liquid. D. Poisonous insects. 9. The underlined word “expelled” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”. A. coming out B. taking up C. going away D. getting down 10. From the passage, we can know ________. A. now people still use a tourniquet to stop bleeding B. the container of poison is not helpful to doctors C. rest can do good to an infected wound D. abdominal thrusts are for the unconscious 11. Where can you learn more about first aid according to the passage? A. A hospital or the Red Cross. B. A hospital or a magazine. C. The Red Cross or a patient. D. The Red Crescent Society or a book. D When Joy Ryan set out to visit all 63 national parks with her grandson Brad, traveling during a global pandemic wasn’t on the to-do list. But seven years—and countless hours spent in the air and on the road—later, the 93-year-old grandma and her grandson have reached their final and most remote destination: the National Park of American Samoa. In 2015, their journey began, when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person. He invited her on a road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is between North Carolina and Tennessee, and after that, the pair kept planning more trips. The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one. The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S. national park south of the equator, also making it the furthest from Ohio, where Joy resides. The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between. “We took a two-day break in Oahu before boarding our final flight to Pago Pago, American Samoa, on Monday. Three flights and nearly seventeen flying hours were required before we touched down in American Samoa on Monday evening,” Brad said. Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone, Brad continued. It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy, who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks. “Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said. “Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.” 12. What inspired Joy Ryan and her grandson Brad to start their journey? A. A goal to visit the most remote parks. B. A desire to escape the global pandemic. C. A friend’s invitation to explore the South Pacific. D. Brad’s realization that Joy hadn’t been to a mountain. 13. What was the pair’s biggest challenge on the journey to the South Pacific? A. The long distance. B. The inconvenient transport. C. The financial burden. D. Their lacking in experience. 14 Why is visiting the National Park of American Samoa a significant achievement for Joy Ryan? A. It marks the end of a difficult journey during the pandemic. B. She achieved her personal goal of visiting all national parks. C. It was done with the company of her grandson. D. She became the first person to visit all national parks. 15. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. It is never too old for us to learn new things. B. It is wise and thrilling to pursue practical goals. C. Family members are those who we can always rely on. D. Passion and intention lead to remarkable accomplishments. 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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traveling with friends or family is always a fun bonding experience, and one of the best ways to do that is by taking a charter (租赁) bus. ___16___ .

There are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy: swimming, fishing and sand castle building on the beach. By the third day, I had noticed that my ten-year-old niece, Jannie, had spent most of her time watching cable TV and browsing through the gift shops in town. Not exactly the wilderness experience I remembered from my youth. So, at dinner, I told Jannie we should hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, which was called Rocky Point because the peak is bare and rock-covered. "Well." replied Jannie, "Tomorrow there are some shows on the Disney Channel, so I'm going to be pretty busy." "When your mother and I used to come here when we were your age, we were too busy swimming and hiking up mountains." "Sounds more like punishment than a vacation." She shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, I don't think I can walk that far." When I said it only took a half-hour of steady walking to get to the top. She grumbled, "Fine, I'll go." I knew she was agreeing just to shut me up, but I would take anything I could get. The next morning was a perfect day for a hike, with sunshine and clear skies. I got up early and took some sandwiches and water bottles, which I tucked into my backpack along with the bug spray and the camera. Jannie came shuffling downstairs, sighed dramatically, rolled her eyes and announced in a very unenthusiastic, robot-like voice. "I'm ready to go hiking, Uncle David." Anyway, we climbed into my car and drove to the trailhead about ten minutes away. As we stood at the edge of the parking lot and looked down the shaded trail that led into the woods. "I am still not sure this is a good idea, but if you and Mom could do it, I can too, I guess." 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。 Paragraph l: For the moment she was determined to start our journey. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A while later we did it to the top. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 实验高中2025年春季学期期中考试 高二英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将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?

I can look out of the window as it twists and turns itself through neighborhoods with the sun casting its strong lighting on the floor of the train car. I sometimes get lost in thought while following the light. But the reason I love this ride is that it’s a reminder of how neighborhoods can change from block to block. For almost a year now I have been riding this train as I head into the office where I work as a reporter for a local magazine. I am one of 13 journalists who help report community news in areas that are often forgotten. And for me, that means covering areas like the one I grew up in. Last week, as I was on the way to my office, I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis. I searched addresses on the city’s southwest side, a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down, I scanned the street views recorded on my phone and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007. Then I set out to visit the city block, and that’s when I met 3-year-old Harmony. Harmony loved collecting rocks for me to hold as I walked down the street with her mother, Marquita. I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past, but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block, who were really friendly to each other. However, people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other. Marquita has lived on this block her entire life, and Harmony has for most of her short life as well. But the neighborhood that Marquita grew up in will be one obviously different than the one Harmony will grow to know. In the end, they smiled at my camera. And then I got back on the train and headed back to the office to tell their stories. 4. What makes the author love his train ride to work? A. Being lost in thought. B. Admiring the outside views. C. Enjoying the warm sunshine. D. Knowing the change of blocks. 5. How did the author find out what the city’s southwest side looked like in the past? A By reading earlier reports. B. By interviewing local people. C. By watching past street views. D. By searching his memories. 6. How might Marquita feel when she talked with the author? A. Sad. B. Nervous. C. Touched. D. Confused. 7. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To share a pleasant train ride with us. B. To tell us the work of a news reporter. C. To show us a crowded community. D. To introduce a new neighborhood. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者乘坐火车上班的体验和观察，以及作者作为一名记者的工作。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But the reason I love this ride is that it’s a reminder of how neighborhoods can change from block to block.(但我喜欢这个旅程的原因是，它提醒我，街区之间是如何变化的。)”可知，作者喜欢坐火车去上班是想了解街区的变化。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Last week, as I was on the way to my office, I started wondering how neighborhoods have changed since the 2008 housing crisis. I searched addresses on the city’s southwest side, a neighborhood that has seen a significant number of residential homes pulled down, I scanned the street views recorded on my phone and saw how the neighborhood looked in 2007.(上周，在去办公室的路上，我开始思考自2008年房地产危机以来，社区发生了怎样的变化。我搜索了纽约市西南侧的地址，那里有大量住宅被拆除，我浏览了手机上记录的街景，看看这个社区2007年的样子。)”可知，作者通过浏览手机上记录的过去的街景来发现城市的西南处在过去的样子。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I already knew what the neighborhood looked like in the past, but Marquita shared more details of the people who once lived on her block, who were really friendly to each other. However, people today in the neighborhood are busy with life and seldom say hello to each other.(我已经知道这个社区过去是什么样子了，但Marquita分享了更多关于曾经住在她那个街区的人的细节，他们彼此非常友好。然而，今天附近的人都忙于生活，很少互相打招呼。)”可知，Marquita在和作者分享这些的时候感到有点悲伤。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Then I set out to visit the city block, and that’s when I met 3-year-old Harmony.(然后我出发去参观城市街区，就在那时我遇到了3岁的Harmony。)”、第四段作者和Marquita母女的聊天以及最后一段“In the end, they smiled at my camera. And then I got back on the train and headed back to the office to tell their stories.(最后，她们对着我的相机笑了。然后我回到火车上，回到办公室，讲述他们的故事。)”可知，文章的目的是主要讲述了一个新闻记者的工作。故选B。 C Doctors in hospital emergency rooms often see accidental poisonings. A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects. These are common causes of accidental poisonings. In cases like this, seek medical help as soon as possible. Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning. And look for information about anything that stops the effects of the poison in the container. Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim. That way, doctors can examine it. Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat. The American Red Cross says a rescuer should first hit the person on the back five times between the shoulder bones. If the airway is still blocked, the Red Cross suggests pushing hard five times on the victim’s abdomen. You can do these abdominal thrusts by getting directly behind a sitting or standing person. The Mayo Clinic’s health centers suggest several steps if bleeding is severe. First, if possible, remove dirt from the wound and press it with a clean cloth or piece of clothing. In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush (压坏) blood passages and nerves. If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest. Physical activity can spread the Infection. Treat the wound with a mixture of salt and water until medical Help arrives. To learn more about first aid, ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information. Training may be offered in your area. If you know first aid methods, you can be calmer and more helpful in case of emergency. 8. Which of the following is NOT the cause of accidental poisonings according to the passage? A. A harmful medicine. B. An insect-killing chemical. C. A cleaning liquid. D. Poisonous insects. 9. The underlined word “expelled” in Paragraph 2 can be replaced by “________”. A coming out B. taking up C. going away D. getting down 10. From the passage, we can know ________. A. now people still use a tourniquet to stop bleeding B. the container of poison is not helpful to doctors C. rest can do good to an infected wound D. abdominal thrusts are for the unconscious 11. Where can you learn more about first aid according to the passage? A. A hospital or the Red Cross. B. A hospital or a magazine. C. The Red Cross or a patient. D. The Red Crescent Society or a book. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文，告诉读者一些实用的急救方法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段第二句“A frightened parent arrives with a child who swallowed a cleaning liquid. Or perhaps the harmful substance is a medicine. Or it might be a product meant to kill insects.”可知造成意外中毒事故的原因有：误喝了清洗液，吃了有害的药物以及杀虫产品，故综上D项不是意外中毒的原因。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。画线词所在句“Save anything expelled from the mouth of the victim.”的意思是：保存好从受害者嘴巴里排出来的东西。由此可知expelled这里是“排出”的意思。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“Save the container of whatever caused the poisoning.”可知，带中毒的人去医院时，要带着装有毒药的容器，所以B项错误；根据第四段第三句“In the past, people were advised to stop severe bleeding with a tourniquet (止血带). But experts now say tourniquets are dangerous because they can crush (压坏) blood passages and nerves.”可知，以前使用止血带，但现在医生说那对血管和神经不好，所以A项错误；根据第三段第一句“Millions of people know how to give abdominal thrusts (腹部按压) to save a person choking on something trapped in the throat.”可知，腹部按压法是治疗喉咙堵塞的人，而非失去意识的人，所以D项错误。根据第四段倒数第二句中的“If a wound seems infected, let the victim rest”可知C项符合题意。故综上选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“To lean more about first aid,ask a hospital or an organization like the Red Cross or Red Crescent Society for information”可知了解急救知识，可以向医院或红十字会或红新月会这样的组织咨询，故根据文章你可以从医院或者红十字会了解更多的急救知识。故A项正确。 D When Joy Ryan set out to visit all 63 national parks with her grandson Brad, traveling during a global pandemic wasn’t on the to-do list. But seven years—and countless hours spent in the air and on the road—later, the 93-year-old grandma and her grandson have reached their final and most remote destination: the National Park of American Samoa. In 2015, their journey began, when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person. He invited her on a road trip to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, which is between North Carolina and Tennessee, and after that, the pair kept planning more trips. The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one. The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S. national park south of the equator, also making it the furthest from Ohio, where Joy resides. The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between. “We took a two-day break in Oahu before boarding our final flight to Pago Pago, American Samoa, on Monday. Three flights and nearly seventeen flying hours were required before we touched down in American Samoa on Monday evening,” Brad said. Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone, Brad continued. It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy, who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks. “Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said. “Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.” 12. What inspired Joy Ryan and her grandson Brad to start their journey? A. A goal to visit the most remote parks. B. A desire to escape the global pandemic. C. A friend’s invitation to explore the South Pacific. D. Brad’s realization that Joy hadn’t been to a mountain. 13. What was the pair’s biggest challenge on the journey to the South Pacific? A. The long distance. B. The inconvenient transport. C. The financial burden. D. Their lacking in experience. 14. Why is visiting the National Park of American Samoa a significant achievement for Joy Ryan? A. It marks the end of a difficult journey during the pandemic. B. She achieved her personal goal of visiting all national parks. C. It was done with the company of her grandson. D. She became the first person to visit all national parks. 15. What does the author mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. It is never too old for us to learn new things. B. It is wise and thrilling to pursue practical goals. C. Family members are those who we can always rely on. D. Passion and intention lead to remarkable accomplishments. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述美国老奶奶Joy Ryan，在孙子的陪伴下游览美国全部63个国家公园的故事。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In 2015, their journey began, when Brad discovered that his grandmother had never visited a mountain in person. （2015年，他们的旅程开始了，当时布拉德发现他的祖母从未亲自去过一座山。)”可知，布拉德意识到乔伊并没有去过山，这激励乔伊·瑞安和她的孙子布拉德开始他们的旅程。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The journey to the South Pacific wasn’t an easy one. The National Park of American Samoa is the only U.S. national park south of the equator, also making it the furthest from Ohio, where Joy resides. The adventurous pair touched down late Monday after nearly three days of travel with breaks in between.(前往南太平洋的旅程并不轻松。美属萨摩亚国家公园是美国唯一位于赤道以南的国家公园，也是距离乔伊居住的俄亥俄州最远的国家公园。这对冒险的两人在经历了近三天的旅行后，于周一晚些时候降落。)”可知，遥远的距离是两人南太平洋之旅中面临的最大挑战。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Visiting national park number 63 is a “bittersweet” milestone, Brad continued. It marks both the end of their mission and a historic achievement for Joy, who officially became the oldest person to visit all 63 national parks.(布拉德继续说，参观63号国家公园是一个“苦乐参半”的里程碑。这标志着他们的使命结束，也是乔伊的历史性成就，她正式成为参观所有63个国家公园的最年长的人。)”可知，参观美属萨摩亚国家公园对乔伊·瑞安来说是一项重大成就是因为她实现了参观所有国家公园的个人目标。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Standing at the finish line in American Samoa affirms that seemingly impossible goals are in fact possible if you pursue them with passion and pure intention,” Brad said. “Grandma Joy has taught the world that you are never too old to show up and live the adventurous life of your dreams. It has been the greatest privilege of my life to be in the driver’s seat as Grandma Joy made history to become the oldest person to achieve this ambition.”(布拉德说:“站在美属萨摩亚的终点线上证明，如果你带着激情和纯粹的意图去追求，看似不可能的目标实际上是可能的。”“乔伊奶奶教会了这个世界，你永远不会太老，不能出现在你梦想中的冒险生活中。这是我一生中最大的荣幸，当乔伊奶奶创造了历史，成为实现这一目标的最年长的人。”)”可知，最后一段作者主要想表达热情和决心带来非凡的成就。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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Traveling with friends or family is always a fun bonding experience, and one of the best ways to do that is by taking a charter (租赁) bus. ___16___ .

There are plenty of activities to keep everyone busy: swimming, fishing and sand castle building on the beach. By the third day, I had noticed that my ten-year-old niece, Jannie, had spent most of her time watching cable TV and browsing through the gift shops in town. Not exactly the wilderness experience I remembered from my youth. So, at dinner, I told Jannie we should hike to the top of the mountain across the lake the following morning, which was called Rocky Point because the peak is bare and rock-covered. "Well." replied Jannie, "Tomorrow there are some shows on the Disney Channel, so I'm going to be pretty busy." "When your mother and I used to come here when we were your age, we were too busy swimming and hiking up mountains." "Sounds more like punishment than a vacation." She shrugged her shoulders. "Besides, I don't think I can walk that far." When I said it only took a half-hour of steady walking to get to the top. She grumbled, "Fine, I'll go." I knew she was agreeing just to shut me up, but I would take anything I could get. The next morning was a perfect day for a hike, with sunshine and clear skies. I got up early and took some sandwiches and water bottles, which I tucked into my backpack along with the bug spray and the camera. Jannie came shuffling downstairs, sighed dramatically, rolled her eyes and announced in a very unenthusiastic, robot-like voice. "I'm ready to go hiking, Uncle David." Anyway, we climbed into my car and drove to the trailhead about ten minutes away. As we stood at the edge of the parking lot and looked down the shaded trail that led into the woods. "I am still not sure this is a good idea, but if you and Mom could do it, I can too, I guess." 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。 Paragraph l: For the moment she was determined to start our journey. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A while later we did it to the top. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: For the moment she was determined to start our journey. About 200 yards into the forest, the trail began to climb a steep slope. I pointed out some rarely-seen trees and flowering plants, which I explained were endangered species. She didn’t share my enthusiasm. She was thirsty, tired, sweaty and bored. I handed her the water bottle as she sat on a fallen log and took a break. “You know, I think we’re almost to the top,” I told her. “You already said that three times, and we’re not there yet.” she replied. She grumbled another complain as we continued on. She might not have been happy, but at least I was proud that she had the determination not to quit before we reached the top. A while later we did make it to the top. Jannie looked up, noticing we were no longer under the trees. When she stopped, looked around and saw where we were, her jaw dropped, her eyes opened wide and she shouted: “Oh, I don’t believe it. We’re on top of the world. It’s awesome!” A refreshing breeze brushed the mountaintop, not a cloud was in the sky and miles and miles of trees and lakes spread out below us. We sat on a large rock and took it in the view, while eating our sandwiches and pointing out islands and roads and, of course, the cottage where we were staying. It had taken us almost an hour to make the climb, but it was worth it. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，故事讲述了作者鼓励带动10岁的甥女一起爬山，开始的时候外甥女有些不情愿，但当到达山顶时，一览众山小，有了成功的喜悦。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她一时决定开始我们的旅行。”可知，第一段可描写甥女叫苦叫累的抱怨和作者的鼓励和帮助。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，我们爬到了山顶。”可知，第二段可描写作者和甥女到达山顶后，一览众山小，成功的喜悦。 2.续写线索：带动爬山——抱怨——鼓舞——观景——惊喜 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①带动爬山：climb a steep slope / climb a hill / go up the mountain ②.观景：look around / look at the vie/ view the scenery 情绪类 ①. 抱怨：complain / grumble ②. 鼓舞：enthusiasm /inspiring /encouraging ③. 喜悦：happy/joyful/ surprised /awesome 【点睛】[高分句型1].
