Here're four splendid journeys which you can take to prove yourself. Walker's Haute Route, France and Switzerland This breathtaking, 132-mile hike is generally considered tough. On route, you'll hike rock tracks and carefully pick your way over High Alpine tracks. There's plenty of variety when it comes to accommodation. Campsites, mountain houses and mountain-town hotels are all on offer. Kamnik-Savinja Trail, Slovenia Apple-picking sections of longer paths are standard practice, and for anyone in search of a short, sharp challenge the Kamnik-Savinja Alps offer an inviting bite out of the grand 370-mile Slovenian Mountains Track. Book the mountain houses to be sure of a place to stay each night. Cape Wrath Trail, Scotland This two-week walk in Scotland's northwest poses unusual challenges. Route-finding is the most obvious. The track is unofficial and unmarked despite being hiked for about 30 years. It tests your expedition-planning (远征规划) skills since many stages end at a basic small house or with wild camping. Arctic Circle Trail, Norway, Finland & Sweden Few attempt the 500-mile hike from Kilpisjävri in Finland to Kautokeino in Norway as it's beyond the Arctic Circle. Even short parts are tough because they're remote. There are small houses on the route, but you may still need to camp, whether due to space limits or personal choice. 1. What can people do at Walker's Haute Route? A. Take the longest-distance hike. B. Choose their preferred housing. C. Climb various challenging rocks. D. Enjoy some breathtaking scenes. 2. What is the biggest challenge of Cape Wrath Trail? A. Finding the right route. B. Marking the previous tracks. C. Getting the official recognition. D. Having expedition-planning skills. 3. Where can the text be found? A. In a geography textbook. B. In an adventurous novel. C. In a travel magazine. D. In a personal profile. B Britta obtained her doctor’s degree from Portland State University, focusing on the ecological and social aspects of microplastics in shellfish in the Pacific Northwest. She has a strong interest in plastic pollution, fisheries, and fishing communities. With over ten years of experience in fisheries management and marine (海洋的) conservation, she has served as an Assistant Area Management Biologist for Shellfish in the Bering Sea. As the Associate Director for Ocean Plastics Research at Ocean Conservancy, Britta leads various research projects related to the impacts of plastic pollution, such as the spread of microplastics in the human food system, the movement of rubbish from inland to the sea, and public awareness of the issue. In her daily work, she ensures that she and the Trash Free Seas program team stay updated on the latest developments in plastic science, which has been growing rapidly in recent years. Britta is based in Portland, Oregon, and enjoys being only a few hours away from the diverse ecosystems and recreational opportunities in the Pacific Northwest. She grew up in a beautiful, coastal, small town in Alaska. Her daily explorations of tide pools and muddy coastal flats during her childhood fired her love for the ocean and its incredible biodiversity. This love led her to a career in promoting sustainable fisheries, marine protected areas, and a cleaner, rubbish-free ocean. Her favorite things about the ocean are the many strange and unique creatures she has encountered and continues to encounter around the world, like leafy sea dragons. What she loves most about her career in ocean conservation is the community of people who work tirelessly to protect it. This community includes not only marine conservation workers but also ocean crews worldwide who always try to leave the beaches and coastal areas they visit in a better condition. These people give her hope that she will be able to create more memories in beautiful coastal places and enjoy delicious seafood for many years to come. 4. What is the main focus of the first paragraph? A. Britta’s academic achievements. B. Britta’s work and interests. C. Ocean life in the Pacific. D. Alaska’s fishing regulations. 5. What research does Britta lead? A. Fish species’ plastic intake. B. Beach rubbish recycling methods. C. Ocean plastic’s chemical change. D. Microplastics in human food chains. 6. What can be inferred about Britta’s future actions? A. She concentrates more on research in labs. B. She leaves the field of ocean conservation. C. She encourages people to protect the ocean. D. She moves to another coastal area for work. 7. Which of the following can best describe Britta? A. Adventurous and creative. B. Professional and committed. C. Tireless and ambitious. D. Productive and humble. C Earthquakes, some unnoticeably quiet, hold the potential for destruction. Traditionally, seismologists have relied on seismometers (地震检波器) to detect and analyze earthquakes. However, this process has been filled with limitations, being both time-consuming and often imprecise. But the era of AI is coming. Zachary Ross from Caltech recognized the vast amounts of seismic data available in California and saw an opportunity for innovation. Ross initially focused on the countless tiny earthquakes that had previously avoided detection. By creating models of known seismic wave patterns and applying an algorithm (算法) to search for similar ones, he unearthed nearly two million previously hidden quakes between 2008 and 2017.This discovery uncovered a detailed and previously unseen fault network, providing crucial insights into the underground activity. Subsequently, Ross employed more advanced self-learning programs. These programs not only identified new types of seismic events, such as the long-lasting earthquakes in California and the previously undetected volcanic activity in Hawaii, but also predicted the characteristics of a wide variety of earthquakes. In the seismological community, there is a sense of cautious optimism regarding Ross's work.AI has the potential to change the field by processing seismic records with unmatched speed and precision, elevating the capabilities of scientists. For instance, it can handle multiple seismic records and present them in three dimensions far more quickly than humans. Nevertheless, there are concerns. Geoscientists who are not skilled in machine learning may struggle to keep up. There is a need to train the broader seismology community to understand and evaluate these AI-driven products. As these programs continue to progress and gain accuracy, they could significantly improve earthquake early-warning systems. In earthquake areas like Tokyo, AI is already being used to scan images and detect disasters such as fires and building collapses, enabling authorities to respond quickly. While AI offers great promise, it remains a tool. It is set to become an essential part of earthquake research, much like seismometers, but with the potential to unlock a new level of understanding and preparedness. 8. What is a disadvantage of the traditional earthquake detection method? A. It costs too much. B. It requires lots of data. C. It relies on many staff. D. It's slow and inaccurate. 9. What can we learn from Ross's discovery? A. It revealed a comprehensive unseen network. B. It exposed many undetectable earthquakes. C. It predicted new types of volcanic activities. D. It confused people about the underground event. 10. What does the underlined word “elevating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Boosting. B. Restricting. C. Underestimating. D. Guaranteeing. 11. What's the author's attitude towards AI in earthquake research? A. Completely critical. B. Somewhat doubtful. C. Cautiously positive. D. Overly supportive. D As dark sky shelters grow in popularity, scientists are revealing more of the benefits of darkness—from enhancing cellular repair to improving your mental health. “Brightening our days and darkening our nights is critical to our health,” says Lynne Peoples. Finding a timely balance between light and dark helps us stay healthy. Researchers are starting to explore the health benefits of spending time in natural darkness. We now know that staying in the dark can contribute to better health. And that’s not all that darkness can do for you. A 2020 study showed that spending time in the dark can reduce anxiety and depression. It has long been clear that spending time in nature is good for your mental health—and a 2024 study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology suggests that the benefits hold true at night as well as during the day. The psychological benefits of spending time in the dark can be found. Both mindfulness and creativity can be encouraged by darker spaces. There is a deeper reason why the lights go down before the curtains rise in theater productions and cinemas: darkness creates a space where imaginations can flow more freely. For those who live in places with too much darkness: try sun lamps, which can be switched on and off to help reset body clocks. One of the biggest barriers to accepting the dark may be the negative values we attach to it, including the belief that darkness is linked to disorder and crime (leading to more street lights in so many parts of the world) as well as to our deep-rooted fear of all things that make strange noises in the night. Artists, poets, and songwriters have long understood our fear of the dark as well as the comfort it can bring us. For me, the Simon & Garfunkel song “The Sound of Silence” sums it up. It begins with “Hello darkness, my old friend”. This shows why sometimes we need to get away from the light. It reminds us that some of our most meaningful times of restoration and understanding happen in the dark. 12. What phenomenon is described in the first two paragraphs? A. The development of cellular technology. B. The latest findings of darkness. C. The importance of spending time in nature. D. The popularity of dark sky shelters. 13. What does the 2024 research show? A. Light and dark are equally good for health. B. People should stay in the dark most of the time. C. Bad moods arise from the polluted environment. D. The scientific exploration has a long way to go. 14. What does the author imply about darkness in paragraph 5? A. It can inspire imagination. B. It causes disorder in society. C. It worsens living conditions. D. It brings about negative views. 15. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The Problem of Light Pollution B. The Rise of Dark Sky Shelters C. The Benefits of Natural Darkness D. The Exploration of Darkness 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。 Fluoride (氟化物) is crucial because it helps fight cavities (蛀牙). Cavities occur when the bacteria in our mouths consume leftover food on our teeth, particularly anything sugary. As the bacteria eat these sugars, they release acid, which can remove minerals from our teeth’s hard surface, eventually creating cavities. ____16____ It strengthens the surface of our teeth and repairs some damage.

The air was thick with heat, but my spirits were high as I thought about the upcoming get-together with my family. The bus pulled out of the station, entered the highway, and I settled into my seat, ready for the six-hour journey ahead. As the miles passed by, the initial excitement began to decline, replaced by a growing unease. My head started to feel light, as if it were stuffed with cotton. Sweat drops appeared on my forehead, making my hair wet. I looked around the bus, hoping to find a familiar face, but all I saw were strangers' faces. There was nobody I could ask for help, which added to my discomfort, making me feel more nervous. To make matters worse, I had been in such a hurry to catch the bus that I had forgotten to bring any extra money. This meant I couldn't even buy a bottle of water or some medicine to make myself feel better. I held my fists tight, trying my best to stop the feeling of sickness. I didn't want to draw attention to myself, so I tried to sit as still as possible, hoping the discomfort would disappear on its own. The bus ran along the highway, the constant sickness adding to my unease. Time seemed to stretch endlessly, each minute feeling longer than the last. My discomfort grew more pronounced, and I began to feel increasingly lightheaded. The bus shook slightly as it traveled the winding road, and each turn felt like a shake to my already delicate state. I found it difficult to focus on anything other than the growing unease, my thoughts circling around the same worries and fears. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the noise and movement. I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself, but the air felt heavy and unrefreshing. I thought I couldn't bear it any longer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, an old man sitting beside me noticed my pale face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the bus continued its journey, the old man began sharing stories of his youth. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年安庆市高三模拟考试(二模) 英语试题 命题：安庆市高考命题研究课题组 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的学校、班级、姓名填写在答题卡上，并在相应的方框内粘贴条形码。 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。如需要改动，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，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。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.

Traditionally, seismologists have relied on seismometers (地震检波器) to detect and analyze earthquakes. However, this process has been filled with limitations, being both time-consuming and often imprecise. But the era of AI is coming. Zachary Ross from Caltech recognized the vast amounts of seismic data available in California and saw an opportunity for innovation. Ross initially focused on the countless tiny earthquakes that had previously avoided detection. By creating models of known seismic wave patterns and applying an algorithm (算法) to search for similar ones, he unearthed nearly two million previously hidden quakes between 2008 and 2017.This discovery uncovered a detailed and previously unseen fault network, providing crucial insights into the underground activity. Subsequently, Ross employed more advanced self-learning programs. These programs not only identified new types of seismic events, such as the long-lasting earthquakes in California and the previously undetected volcanic activity in Hawaii, but also predicted the characteristics of a wide variety of earthquakes. In the seismological community, there is a sense of cautious optimism regarding Ross's work.AI has the potential to change the field by processing seismic records with unmatched speed and precision, elevating the capabilities of scientists. For instance, it can handle multiple seismic records and present them in three dimensions far more quickly than humans. Nevertheless, there are concerns. Geoscientists who are not skilled in machine learning may struggle to keep up. There is a need to train the broader seismology community to understand and evaluate these AI-driven products. As these programs continue to progress and gain accuracy, they could significantly improve earthquake early-warning systems. In earthquake areas like Tokyo, AI is already being used to scan images and detect disasters such as fires and building collapses, enabling authorities to respond quickly. While AI offers great promise, it remains a tool. It is set to become an essential part of earthquake research, much like seismometers, but with the potential to unlock a new level of understanding and preparedness. 8. What is a disadvantage of the traditional earthquake detection method? A. It costs too much. B. It requires lots of data. C. It relies on many staff. D. It's slow and inaccurate. 9. What can we learn from Ross's discovery? A. It revealed a comprehensive unseen network. B. It exposed many undetectable earthquakes. C. It predicted new types of volcanic activities. D. It confused people about the underground event. 10. What does the underlined word “elevating” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Boosting. B. Restricting. C. Underestimating. D. Guaranteeing. 11. What's the author's attitude towards AI in earthquake research? A. Completely critical. B. Somewhat doubtful. C. Cautiously positive. D. Overly supportive. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了人工智能在地震研究中的应用。传统的地震检测方法存在局限性，而 Zachary Ross 利用人工智能算法取得了一些重要发现，虽然人工智能在地震研究中带来了希望，但也存在一些担忧。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, seismologists have relied on seismometers (地震检波器) to detect and analyze earthquakes. However, this process has been filled with limitations, being both time-consuming and often imprecise. (传统上，地震学家依靠地震检波器来检测和分析地震。然而，这个过程充满了局限性，既耗时又往往不准确。)”可知，传统地震检测方法的缺点是缓慢且不准确。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“This discovery uncovered a detailed and previously unseen fault network, providing crucial insights into the underground activity. (这一发现揭示了一个详细的、以前未被发现的断层网络，为地下活动提供了关键的见解。)”可知，Ross 的发现揭示了一个全面的、以前未被看到的网络。故选A。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“AI has the potential to change the field by processing seismic records with unmatched speed and precision(人工智能有潜力通过以无与伦比的速度和精度处理地震记录来改变这个领域)”可知，人工智能的速度和精度提升可地震记录，从而提升科学家的能力，所以“elevating”意思是“提升”。选项 A“Boosting.”（提升）符合文意，故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While AI offers great promise, it remains a tool. It is set to become an essential part of earthquake research, much like seismometers, but with the potential to unlock a new level of understanding and preparedness. (虽然人工智能前景广阔，但它仍然是一种工具。它将成为地震研究的重要组成部分，就像地震检波器一样，但有可能开启一个新的理解和准备水平。)”可推知，作者对人工智能在地震研究中的态度是谨慎的积极。故选C。 D As dark sky shelters grow in popularity, scientists are revealing more of the benefits of darkness—from enhancing cellular repair to improving your mental health. “Brightening our days and darkening our nights is critical to our health,” says Lynne Peoples. Finding a timely balance between light and dark helps us stay healthy. Researchers are starting to explore the health benefits of spending time in natural darkness. We now know that staying in the dark can contribute to better health. And that’s not all that darkness can do for you. A 2020 study showed that spending time in the dark can reduce anxiety and depression. It has long been clear that spending time in nature is good for your mental health—and a 2024 study published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology suggests that the benefits hold true at night as well as during the day. The psychological benefits of spending time in the dark can be found. Both mindfulness and creativity can be encouraged by darker spaces. There is a deeper reason why the lights go down before the curtains rise in theater productions and cinemas: darkness creates a space where imaginations can flow more freely. For those who live in places with too much darkness: try sun lamps, which can be switched on and off to help reset body clocks. One of the biggest barriers to accepting the dark may be the negative values we attach to it, including the belief that darkness is linked to disorder and crime (leading to more street lights in so many parts of the world) as well as to our deep-rooted fear of all things that make strange noises in the night. Artists, poets, and songwriters have long understood our fear of the dark as well as the comfort it can bring us. For me, the Simon & Garfunkel song “The Sound of Silence” sums it up. It begins with “Hello darkness, my old friend”. This shows why sometimes we need to get away from the light. It reminds us that some of our most meaningful times of restoration and understanding happen in the dark. 12. What phenomenon is described in the first two paragraphs? A. The development of cellular technology. B. The latest findings of darkness. C. The importance of spending time in nature. D. The popularity of dark sky shelters. 13. What does the 2024 research show? A. Light and dark are equally good for health. B. People should stay in the dark most of the time. C. Bad moods arise from the polluted environment. D. The scientific exploration has a long way to go. 14 What does the author imply about darkness in paragraph 5? A. It can inspire imagination. B. It causes disorder in society. C. It worsens living conditions. D. It brings about negative views. 15. Which is a suitable title for the text? A. The Problem of Light Pollution B. The Rise of Dark Sky Shelters C. The Benefits of Natural Darkness D. The Exploration of Darkness 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了科学家们发现自然黑暗对人体健康有诸多益处，如促进细胞修复、改善心理健康等，还探讨了人们对黑暗的一些负面看法以及黑暗能带来的积极影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As dark sky shelters grow in popularity, scientists are revealing more of the benefits of darkness—from enhancing cellular repair to improving your mental health.(随着黑暗天空庇护所越来越受欢迎，科学家们揭示了更多黑暗的益处 —— 从增强细胞修复到改善心理健康)” 以及第二段“Researchers are starting to explore the health benefits of spending time in natural darkness.

Cavities occur when the bacteria in our mouths consume leftover food on our teeth, particularly anything sugary. As the bacteria eat these sugars, they release acid, which can remove minerals from our teeth’s hard surface, eventually creating cavities. ____16____ It strengthens the surface of our teeth and repairs some damage. Watch out for this material. If you suffer from canker sores (口腔溃疡) inside your mouth, you may want to look for a teeth cleaner that doesn’t contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS). ____17____ Using an SLS-free teeth cleaner might help reduce canker sores in people who get a lot of them. ____18____ Activated carbon is often seen as a superior material for a variety of products, including teeth cleaner. But it can damage your outer layer and cause increased sensitivity. How much to use? ____19____ You should wash out your mouth after you brush. But studies show that the fluoride in your teeth cleaner provides the biggest benefit if you don’t wash out your mouth after you brush, instead allowing the fluoride to work its magic on your outer layer for more time. What about a doctor-recommended teeth cleaner? It generally contains a greater amount of fluoride. Severe dry mouth, which can be more common as you age, can raise your risk of cavities. So can periodontal disease, especially if the surfaces of the roots of your teeth are exposed. ____20____ A. Take care of your teeth. B. Ski p carbon teeth cleaner. C. The 2019 research found this. D. In this case, the teeth lack a protective outer layer. E. Fluoride can help replace some of these lost minerals. F. It can help the doctors to examine the teeth in your mouth. G. Generally, adults need only a small quantity of teeth cleaners. 【答案】16. E 17. C 18. B 19. G 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了氟化物对预防蛀牙的作用、使用牙膏的一些注意事项。 【16题详解】 根据上文“As the bacteria eat these sugars, they release acid, which can remove minerals from our teeth’s hard surface, eventually creating cavities.(当细菌消耗这些糖分的时候，它们会释放酸，这种酸会从我们牙齿坚硬的表面带走矿物质，最终形成蛀牙)”以及下文“It strengthens the surface of our teeth and repairs some damage.(它能强化我们牙齿的表面并修复一些损伤)”可知，此处应阐述氟化物与被酸带走的矿物质之间的关系，说明氟化物如何起到修复作用。选项E“氟化物可以帮助补充一些这些流失的矿物质”符合语境，能很好地衔接上下文。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“If you suffer from canker sores (口腔溃疡) inside your mouth, you may want to look for a teeth cleaner that doesn't contain sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS).(如果你口腔内患有口腔溃疡，你可能需要寻找一种不含月桂基硫酸钠（SLS）的牙膏)”以及下文“Using an SLS-free teeth cleaner might help reduce canker sores in people who get a lot of them.(使用不含SLS的牙膏可能有助于减少那些经常患口腔溃疡的人的口腔溃疡情况)”可知，此处需要一个能支持前面关于SLS与口腔溃疡关系观点的句子。选项C“2019 年的研究发现了这一点”表明了关于SLS和口腔溃疡的关系是有研究依据的，符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Activated carbon is often seen as a superior material for a variety of products, including teeth cleaner. But it can damage your outer layer and cause increased sensitivity.(活性炭常被视为各种产品，包括牙膏的优质材料。但它会损害你的牙齿外层并导致牙齿敏感度增加)”可知，该段重点强调了活性炭牙膏的危害，从而建议不使用这类牙膏。选项B“不要使用活性炭牙膏”准确概括了该段主旨。故选B。 【19题详解】 根据下文“You should wash out your mouth after you brush. But studies show that the fluoride in your teeth cleaner provides the biggest benefit if you don’t wash out your mouth after you brush, instead allowing the fluoride to work its magic on your outer layer for more time.(你应该在刷牙后漱口。但研究表明，如果你刷牙后不漱口，牙膏中的氟化物会带来最大的益处，而是让氟化物在你的牙齿外层发挥更长时间的作用)”可知，该段围绕牙膏的使用量以及使用后是否漱口展开讨论，开头应先提及牙膏的使用量相关内容。选项G“一般来说，成年人只需要少量的牙膏”符合语境，能引出下文关于牙膏使用后处理方式的阐述。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“It generally contains a greater amount of fluoride. Severe dry mouth, which can be more common as you age, can raise your risk of cavities. So can periodontal disease, especially if the surfaces of the roots of your teeth are exposed.(它通常含有更多的氟化物。严重的口干，随着年龄增长这种情况可能更常见，会增加你患蛀牙的风险。牙周病也是如此，尤其是如果你的牙根表面暴露在外)”可知，此处应进一步说明口干和牙周病增加患蛀牙风险的原因。选项D“在这种情况下，牙齿缺少一个保护性的外层”能够解释为什么口干和牙周病会导致患蛀牙风险上升，符合语境。故选D。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandmother, Mary, was a gardening artist.

The air was thick with heat, but my spirits were high as I thought about the upcoming get-together with my family. The bus pulled out of the station, entered the highway, and I settled into my seat, ready for the six-hour journey ahead. As the miles passed by, the initial excitement began to decline, replaced by a growing unease. My head started to feel light, as if it were stuffed with cotton. Sweat drops appeared on my forehead, making my hair wet. I looked around the bus, hoping to find a familiar face, but all I saw were strangers' faces. There was nobody I could ask for help, which added to my discomfort, making me feel more nervous. To make matters worse, I had been in such a hurry to catch the bus that I had forgotten to bring any extra money. This meant I couldn't even buy a bottle of water or some medicine to make myself feel better. I held my fists tight, trying my best to stop the feeling of sickness. I didn't want to draw attention to myself, so I tried to sit as still as possible, hoping the discomfort would disappear on its own. The bus ran along the highway, the constant sickness adding to my unease. Time seemed to stretch endlessly, each minute feeling longer than the last. My discomfort grew more pronounced, and I began to feel increasingly lightheaded. The bus shook slightly as it traveled the winding road, and each turn felt like a shake to my already delicate state. I found it difficult to focus on anything other than the growing unease, my thoughts circling around the same worries and fears. I closed my eyes, trying to block out the noise and movement. I took deep breaths, trying to calm myself, but the air felt heavy and unrefreshing. I thought I couldn't bear it any longer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Just then, an old man sitting beside me noticed my pale face. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the bus continued its journey, the old man began sharing stories of his youth. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, an old man sitting beside me noticed my pale face. He gently touched me on the shoulder and asked what was wrong. I told him my situation weakly. Without hesitation, the old man reached into his bag and took out a bottle of water and some medicine. He handed them to me with a warm smile and said, "Here, young man. This might help you feel better." I was so moved that I could hardly say a word. I took the medicine and drank some water. Gradually, my discomfort started to disappear. As the bus continued its journey, the old man began sharing stories of his youth. He spoke of working as a traveling doctor, meeting people from all walks of life. Each story was filled with warmth and wisdom, painting vivid pictures in my mind. His voice was calm and soothing making the long hours on the bus feel shorter. I found myself forgetting my earlier discomfort captivated by his tales. By the time we reached our destination, I felt not only physically better but also enriched by his kindness and the memories he shared. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在一个炎热的夏日，作者乘坐长途巴士准备与家人团聚，途中却因中暑而身体不适，且因匆忙赶车没带钱无法买药缓解，就在难受至极时，旁边一位老人发现并给予帮助，还在旅途中分享他年轻时的故事，让作者不仅身体状况好转，内心也得到了充实。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，坐在我旁边的一位老人注意到了我苍白的脸”可知，续写线索为老人发现作者异样后，推测接下来老人会询问作者情况，根据作者描述采取行动，比如提供缓解不适的物品等，然后描述作者接受帮助后的感受与身体反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“随着公共汽车继续行驶，老人开始分享他年轻时的故事。”可知，续写线索为老人分享故事的具体内容，故事对作者产生的影响，如让作者忘记不适，沉浸其中，最后描述到达目的地时作者的状态变化。 2.续写线索：老人发现作者不适——老人询问情况——老人提供帮助——作者接受帮助后不适缓解 ——老人分享年轻时的故事—— 作者被故事吸引忘记不适 ——到达目的地作者身心状态改变 词汇激活： 行为类： ①告诉：tell /inform ②拿出：take out /pull out ③递给：hand /pass 情绪类： ①感动的：moved /touched ②温暖舒适：warmth /coziness 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He gently touched me on the shoulder and asked what was wrong.（运用了 what 引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】Each story was filled with warmth and wisdom, painting vivid pictures in my mind.（运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
