This means we are open all weekend, public holidays and overnight during the week, and closed each weekday morning at 8 am. when veterinary care is more widely available. While your pet is in hospital at the AES, you can be assured that your pet is constantly taken care of by experienced vets and nurses. There are 3 alternatives that may be appropriate — your vet will advise you which of these is most suitable for your pet: 1. Returning home: If your pet’s illness or injury has gotten better, or can be treated at home, you will be required to collect your pet before 8 am. 2. Transfer (转移) to your regular veterinarian: If your pet is stable, but still requires veterinary attention, you will need to transfer your pet to your regular general practice veterinarian. As most practices in this area open at 8 am, we ask that you be prepared to collect your pet between 7 am and 7:45 am. 3. Referral (转诊) for Specialist Care: If your pet requires the services of a specialist veterinarian, you may be referred to the Veterinary Specialist Services (VSS). An appointment with the appropriate specialist will be made for you as soon as possible, so we ask that you be prepared to attend the practice before 8 am. If you are unsure of your pet’s requirements, please phone the AES before 12 am (midnight), the night before your pet is due to be discharged (准许离开). In the morning, your pet is to be discharged from the care of the AES, please phone early in the morning (before 6:30 am) to make an appointment.

B篇 I was a high school English teacher on Rikers Island for three years. New York treats 16-year-olds in the criminal justice system like they’re adults, regardless of the offense (罪行). They’re offered education until the age of 21. so I worked with probably 1,300 young people. I saw how destructive the system is to young people, and I was interested in developing an employment strategy for those coming home. Many of my happiest moments have centered around food. It’s a way to connect. There was a culinary (烹饪的) arts class on Rikers where a lot of my students were excelling, so I decided a mobile food source where we could be out in the community would be a great way to raise awareness about injustice inside the system. I hadn’t worked in the food industry or in “re-entry”— when a prisoner returns to society. So in 2012, I left my teaching job and pursued both. I worked on the Kimchi Taco Truck in New York City for seven-months, then in re-entry programs. In 2013, I got some great people around me, and we raised money. In the spring of 2014, we launched Snowday. Drive Change, the nonprofit I started that owns Snowday, runs a 12-month fellowship for young people coming home from prison. They work in our kitchen and on our truck, and the revenue (收入) from the truck cycles back into the organization to support our costs. About 20 people per year work on our truck. We pay our workers $11 an hour and teach them transferable skills through classes like marketing, money management, and culinary arts. We help build their skill sets, but for somebody to excel in future environments they need that foundation within themselves. Next, we’ll be able to work with more people hired by more food trucks. The goal for us is to help young people coming home get into a position where, rather than all the stop signs and dead ends they generally face, they see futures with new opportunities. 4. What can be learned about the author? A. She is fond of cooking. B. She is skillful at wealth management. C. She finds it hard to educate young people. D. She has developed the criminal justice system. 5. What is one of the aims of building Drive Change? A. To earn big money. B. To re-enter the food industry. C. To help freed youth rejoin the community. D. To raise the employment rate in New York City. 6. What can be implied about Drive Change? A. It is not practical. B. It is well-organized. C. It needs marketing classes. D. It leads the educational field. 7. What is the author’s future plan? A. To expand her business. B. To hire more volunteers. C. To teach the youth how to save money. D. To help young people upgrade their skills. C篇 News that the Dutch book publishing house Veen Bosch & Keuning has confirmed plans to experiment with AI to translate fiction has caused a fierce debate. Across every new technology, debates center on what we stand to lose by embracing change and, with AI, this echoes (与……相呼应) the developments in the recent history of genetic science. But somehow, when we interfere with culture and human history, it can seem that something even more fundamental than DNA is under threat. Fiction translation has traditionally been the domain of skilled human translators. Using AI in this field could break up humanity’s most remarkable and perhaps irreplaceable achievement: the ability to express complex human thoughts through words. Language, especially in literature, isn’t just about words. It’s about cultural context, and the distinct voice of the writer. Only a human who understands both languages and cultures can accurately translate the heart of a story. Yet machine learning has made extraordinary strides (进展) in understanding language, best evidenced by the latest version of Chat GPT. We seem to be at a point in the development of AI where its capabilities of using language almost match humans’ in a wide range of circumstances, from customer service chatbots to health testing tools. Learning every language to read every book is, of course, impractical. But not understanding a particular language can prevent us from discovering great works of native literature that may never be translated into our own languages. Thus, we might advance a social justice argument for using Al translation to widely gain insights from many cultures and their varied languages. Of course, the rise of AI in translation has its downsides. If AI replaces human translators, we risk losing their insights and the cultural understanding they bring But we can use AI to help human translators. Translators could be involved in improving AI models, ensuring higher accuracy and quality, and selecting works to be translated. Imagine. a world where translators and AI work together, pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished. This would give us access to more global literature, enhancing our collective understanding of diverse cultures. 8. Why does the author mention the developments in recent genetic science? A. To emphasize the rapid technological progress. B. To explain the moral issues involved in this field. C. To show concerns about the effect of AI translation. D. To discuss the advantages of applying AI technology. 9. What does the underlined phrase “made extraordinary strides” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Encountered huge barriers. B. Achieved remarkable progress. C. Posed considerable challenges. D. Exhibited significant limitations. 10. What is identified as a significant potential benefit of AI translation? A. It can ensure the accuracy of translations. B. It can save a large amount of financial investment. C. It can facilitate the process of learning foreign languages. D. It can expand access to literature from different cultures. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in fiction translation? A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. D篇 Noninstrumental information seeking, driven by curiosity, is common in daily life. Previous studies suggest that aging may reduce overall information-seeking behavior and curiosity. However, few studies have examined whether the type of information sought changes with age. Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information-seeking behaviors — specifically, diverse (exploring new topics) or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics) — as they age. The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79, who selected one of the provided topics. Participants were then presented with short factual statements, followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking) or switch to a new topic (diverse information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics, wished reading each fact and making their choices. Data were collected on how many facts each. The facts were presented in a random order, and the participants could spend as much time as they participant read, whether they chose to continue reading within a topic or switch, and their self-reported curiosity in the material. The results revealed significant age-related differences in information-seeking strategies. Older participants read more facts per topic, showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it. In contrast, younger participants exhibited more diverse information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material. For each additional year in age, participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one. Additionally, the researchers found that participants’ self-reported curiosity were related to their information-seeking choices. Participants who rated themselves as more interested in a fact were more likely to continue within the same topic. This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning. This consideration has a vast range of potential applications, from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information. 12. Greta’s research focuses on age’s impact on . A. information processing B. information distribution C. information-seeking tendency D. information-seeking techniques 13. What were participants required to do in the study? A. Provide detailed data on a topic. B. Maintain their interest in reading C. Raise topics they want to explore D. Read information on certain topics. 14. Which best describes the age-related shift in information-seeking behavior? A. Gradual and steady. B. Random and frequent. C. Substantial but temporary. D. Unpredictable but measurable. 15. What insight does this study provide? A. Older people need slower information delivery. B. Information should be tailored for different ages. C. Younger adults benefit from in-depth information. D. Information should be accessible to people of all ages. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym, ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

Then something happened to make those plans go in a completely different direction. My parents and I had spent forever researching overnight summer camps online. Finally... “This camp sounds perfect!” I told my parents. “You get to design games and animate (把……制作成动画片) characters!” “The place does look great. But I don’t see anything about computers,” said my dad. I nodded and said, “The camp is really big, and they have a lot of different camps within the camp.” “Now I see,” said my dad. “And I like the idea of you exercising that clever brain of yours.” My dad filled out the form, and five weeks later, my parents dropped me off for what I thought would be a week of nonstop computer-coding (计算机编程的) fun. I arrived at the check-in table at exactly the same time as a girl named Willow. “Perfect timing!” a counselor (夏令营负责人) named Halley said. “You two are in my cabin (小屋).— number 7. Just follow the green signs, and you’ll see it on your right.” “It’s so cool and woodsy here,” Willow said. “I wonder if bears ever come around.” “You just gave me the best idea,” I said. “I think I’ll base’ my characters on bears!” Willow laughed and said, “I might be missing something here. Who are these mysterious characters you speak of?” “You know, the characters we’ll be designing on computers this week!” I said. “Why would we be doing computer stuff at Nature Camp?” asked Willow “That’s why we signed up for Tech Camp!” I smiled. “Oh, I think I might have bad news for you,” said Willow. “This is Nature Camp. I know that for sure because I came here last year, and the kids in Tech Camp were in totally different cabins.” “No!” I said, “I must have accidentally clicked on the wrong form on the website!” We raced back to the welcome table to see if I could switch over to Tech Camp, but of course it was completely full. 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I smiled at Willow, but I just felt so disappointed that I had to sit down for a minute. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even though I didn’t choose the program on purpose, Willow was right. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 潮阳一中2024-2025学年第二学期 高二期中考英语科试卷 第一部分 阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A篇 The Animal Emergency Service (AES) — Jindalee was established to ensure veterinary (兽医的) attention is available to pets when general practices are not open.

But not understanding a particular language can prevent us from discovering great works of native literature that may never be translated into our own languages. Thus, we might advance a social justice argument for using Al translation to widely gain insights from many cultures and their varied languages. Of course, the rise of AI in translation has its downsides. If AI replaces human translators, we risk losing their insights and the cultural understanding they bring But we can use AI to help human translators. Translators could be involved in improving AI models, ensuring higher accuracy and quality, and selecting works to be translated. Imagine. a world where translators and AI work together, pushing the boundaries of what can be accomplished. This would give us access to more global literature, enhancing our collective understanding of diverse cultures. 8. Why does the author mention the developments in recent genetic science? A. To emphasize the rapid technological progress. B. To explain the moral issues involved in this field. C. To show concerns about the effect of AI translation. D. To discuss the advantages of applying AI technology. 9. What does the underlined phrase “made extraordinary strides” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Encountered huge barriers. B. Achieved remarkable progress. C. Posed considerable challenges. D. Exhibited significant limitations. 10. What is identified as a significant potential benefit of AI translation? A. It can ensure the accuracy of translations. B. It can save a large amount of financial investment. C. It can facilitate the process of learning foreign languages. D. It can expand access to literature from different cultures. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of AI in fiction translation? A. Objective. B. Skeptical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人工智能在小说翻译中的应用及其引发的争议。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“News that the Dutch book publishing house Veen Bosch & Keuning has confirmed plans to experiment with AI to translate fiction has caused a fierce debate. (荷兰图书出版公司Veen Bosch & Keuning已确认计划利用人工智能翻译小说，这一消息引发了激烈的争论。)”和第二段中“Across every new technology, debates center on what we stand to lose by embracing change and, with AI, this echoes (与……相呼应) the developments in the recent history of genetic science. (每一项新技术都会引发关于我们因接受变革而可能失去的东西的争论，而在人工智能方面，这与近代遗传科学的发展相呼应。)”可知，作者提到近代遗传科学的发展，是为了与人工智能翻译可能带来的影响相呼应，从而表达对人工智能翻译效果的担忧。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Yet machine learning has made extraordinary strides (进展) in understanding language, best evidenced by the latest version of Chat GPT. We seem to be at a point in the development of AI where its capabilities of using language almost match humans’ in a wide range of circumstances, from customer service chatbots to health testing tools. (然而，机器学习在理解语言方面已经made extraordinary strides，最新版本的Chat GPT就是最好的证明。在人工智能的发展中，我们似乎正处于一个阶段，即在从客户服务聊天机器人到健康检测工具的广泛情况下，其使用语言的能力几乎与人类相匹配。)”可知，机器学习在理解语言方面取得了显著的进步，made extraordinary strides的意思是“取得显著进步”。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“Thus, we might advance a social justice argument for using Al translation to widely gain insights from many cultures and their varied languages. (因此，我们可能会提出一个社会公正的论点，即使用人工智能翻译来广泛地从许多文化和他们的不同语言中获得见解。)”可知，人工智能翻译的一个显著潜在好处是它可以扩大对不同文化文学的接触。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Of course, the rise of AI in translation has its downsides. If AI replaces human translators, we risk losing their insights and the cultural understanding they bring But we can use AI to help human translators. (当然，人工智能在翻译中的兴起也有其缺点。如果人工智能取代了人类翻译，我们就有可能失去他们的见解和他们带来的文化理解，但我们可以利用人工智能来帮助人类翻译。)”可知，作者既提到了人工智能翻译的缺点，也提到了其潜在的优点，并提出了人类翻译和人工智能可以合作的观点。因此，作者对人工智能在小说翻译中的使用持客观态度。故选A。 D篇 Noninstrumental information seeking, driven by curiosity, is common in daily life. Previous studies suggest that aging may reduce overall information-seeking behavior and curiosity. However, few studies have examined whether the type of information sought changes with age. Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information-seeking behaviors — specifically, diverse (exploring new topics) or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics) — as they age. The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79, who selected one of the provided topics. Participants were then presented with short factual statements, followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking) or switch to a new topic (diverse information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics, wished reading each fact and making their choices. Data were collected on how many facts each. The facts were presented in a random order, and the participants could spend as much time as they participant read, whether they chose to continue reading within a topic or switch, and their self-reported curiosity in the material. The results revealed significant age-related differences in information-seeking strategies. Older participants read more facts per topic, showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it. In contrast, younger participants exhibited more diverse information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material. For each additional year in age, participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one. Additionally, the researchers found that participants’ self-reported curiosity were related to their information-seeking choices. Participants who rated themselves as more interested in a fact were more likely to continue within the same topic. This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning. This consideration has a vast range of potential applications, from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information. 12. Greta’s research focuses on age’s impact on . A. information processing B. information distribution C. information-seeking tendency D. information-seeking techniques 13. What were participants required to do in the study? A. Provide detailed data on a topic. B. Maintain their interest in reading C. Raise topics they want to explore D. Read information on certain topics. 14. Which best describes the age-related shift in information-seeking behavior? A. Gradual and steady. B. Random and frequent. C. Substantial but temporary. D. Unpredictable but measurable. 15. What insight does this study provide? A. Older people need slower information delivery. B. Information should be tailored for different ages. C. Younger adults benefit from in-depth information. D. Information should be accessible to people of all ages. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项年龄和寻找信息之间联系的研究，解释了研究开展的经过以及发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Greta Fastrich investigates whether adults exhibit different information-seeking behaviors — specifically, diverse (exploring new topics) or specific (deepening knowledge on familiar topics) — as they age.(格里塔·法斯特里奇调查了成年人是否会随着年龄的增长表现出不同的信息寻求行为——具体来说，是多样化（探索新话题）还是专一化（加深对熟悉话题的了解）)”可知，Greta的研究重点是年龄对信息寻求倾向的影响。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study involved 498 participants aged 12 to 79, who selected one of the provided topics. Participants were then presented with short factual statements, followed by options to either learn more about the same topic (specific information seeking) or switch to a new topic (diverse information seeking). They could read up to 10 facts for each topic and up to 80 facts in total across multiple topics, wished reading each fact and making their choices. (这项研究涉及498名年龄在12岁到79岁之间的参与者，他们从提供的主题中选择一个。然后向参与者展示简短的事实陈述，然后选择了解更多关于同一主题（特定信息搜索）或切换到一个新主题（多样化信息搜索）。他们可以为每个主题阅读多达10个事实，并在多个主题中阅读多达80个事实，希望阅读每个事实并做出选择)”可知，参与者在研究中被要求阅读特定话题的信息。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Older participants read more facts per topic, showing a clear preference for deepening their knowledge rather than broadening it. In contrast, younger participants exhibited more diverse information seeking, frequently switching between topics to explore a wider range of material. For each additional year in age, participants were slightly more likely to stay within a topic and less likely to explore a new one.(年龄较大的参与者在每个主题上阅读的事实更多，他们明显倾向于加深知识而不是拓宽知识相比之下，年轻的参与者表现出更多样化的信息寻求，经常在主题之间切换，以探索更广泛的材料。年龄每增加一岁，参与者就更有可能停留在一个话题上，而不太可能探索一个新的话题)”可知，随着年龄增长，参与者在信息寻求行为上的转变是随着年龄逐年逐渐发生的，即这种转变是“循序渐进”的。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“This has implications for how new information should be communicated to different age groups in order to best support motivated learning. This consideration has a vast range of potential applications, from educational course design to museum exhibit arrangements to the provision of health information.(这意味着新的信息应该如何传达给不同的年龄组，以最好地支持动机学习。这种考虑具有广泛的潜在应用，从教育课程设计到博物馆展览安排，再到提供健康信息)”可知，这项研究表明信息应该根据不同年龄进行定制，以更好地支持有动机的学习，故选B。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fitness Magazine recently ran an article titled “Five Reasons to Thank Your Workout Partner.” One reason was: “You’ll actually show up if you know someone is waiting for you at the gym ” while another read: “___16___” With a workout partner, you will increase your training effort as there is a subtle (微妙) competition.

You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won’t result in a useful response. ___18___ If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym. My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age. It also listed her favorite sports and activities, and provided her phone number. ___19___ You and your partner will probably have different skills. ___20___ Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. A. Your first meeting may be a little awkward. B. A workout partner usually needs to live close by. C.

(有一个锻炼伙伴，你将会努力训练，因为你们之间有一个微妙的竞争)”可知，空处陈述另一个和别人一起锻炼的理由，故选项应与后文是顺承关系，选项C中的“train with someone else”与后文的“With a workout partner”相对应，选项C“You’ll work harder if you train with someone else.(如果你和别人一起训练，你会更努力)”符合语意。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据前文“First of all, decide what you want from that person. (首先，决定你想从那个人身上得到什么)”和后文“Or do you just want to be physically fit, able to move with strength and flexibility?(或者你只是想要身体健康，能够移动的力量和灵活性?)”可知，这里是一个问句，反问自己结伴锻炼的目的，故空处与后文是选择关系，你要知道你锻炼是为了什么。所以选项D“Do you want to be a better athlete in your favorite sport? (你想在你最喜欢的运动项目上成为更好的运动员吗?)”与后文在语意上构成选择关系。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据前文“You might think about posting what you are looking for on social media, but it probably won't result in a useful response. (你可能会考虑在社交媒体上发布你想要的东西，但可能不会得到有用的回应)”和后文“If you plan on working out in a gym, that person must belong to the same gym.(如果你打算在健身房锻炼，那个人一定是同一个健身房的)”可知，寻找的锻炼伙伴要具有便利性的特点。选项B中的“live close by”与后文的“belong to the same gym”相对应，选项B“A workout partner usually needs to live close by. (锻炼伙伴通常需要住在附近)”与下文是顺承关系。故选B项。 【19题详解】 根据前文“My partner posted her request on the notice board of a local park. Her notice included what kind of training she wanted to do, how many days a week and how many hours she wanted to spend on each session, and her age.

(我的搭档把她的要求贴在了当地公园的布告栏上。她的注意事项包括她想要做什么样的锻炼，每周多少天，每次培训要花多少小时，以及她的年龄。它还列出了她最喜欢的运动和活动，并提供了她的电话号码)”可知，本段作者以自己的锻炼伙伴为例，说明寻找锻炼伙伴布告所要包括的信息。所以选项G“Any notice for a training partner should include such information. (任何锻炼伙伴的布告都应包括这些信息)”是对上文内容的总结，符合语意。故选G项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“You and your partner will probably have different skills. (你和你的伴侣可能有不同的技能)”和后文“Over time, both of you will benefit—your partner will be able to lift more weights and you will become more physically fit. The core (核心) of your relationship is that you will always be there to help each other. (久而久之，你们双方都会受益—你的伴侣会举起更多的重量，你也会变得更健康。你们关系的核心是你们永远在一起互相帮助)”可知，要学会求同存异，一起合作，共同提高。选项F中的“differences”对应前文的“different skills”，选项中的“work with each other”对应后文的“be there to help each other”，故选项F“Just accept your differences and learn to work with each other. (接受你们的不同，学会彼此合作)”起到承上启下的作用，符合语意。故选F项。 【点睛】 第三部分：完形填空(共15小题，每小题1分，共15分)。 I grew up in a small North Dakota town. Dad was a farmer, so we kids were taught ___21___ to drive farm vehicles.

Then something happened to make those plans go in a completely different direction. My parents and I had spent forever researching overnight summer camps online. Finally... “This camp sounds perfect!” I told my parents. “You get to design games and animate (把……制作成动画片) characters!” “The place does look great. But I don’t see anything about computers,” said my dad. I nodded and said, “The camp is really big, and they have a lot of different camps within the camp.” “Now I see,” said my dad. “And I like the idea of you exercising that clever brain of yours.” My dad filled out the form, and five weeks later, my parents dropped me off for what I thought would be a week of nonstop computer-coding (计算机编程的) fun. I arrived at the check-in table at exactly the same time as a girl named Willow. “Perfect timing!” a counselor (夏令营负责人) named Halley said. “You two are in my cabin (小屋).— number 7. Just follow the green signs, and you’ll see it on your right.” “It’s so cool and woodsy here,” Willow said. “I wonder if bears ever come around.” “You just gave me the best idea,” I said. “I think I’ll base’ my characters on bears!” Willow laughed and said, “I might be missing something here. Who are these mysterious characters you speak of?” “You know, the characters we’ll be designing on computers this week!” I said. “Why would we be doing computer stuff at Nature Camp?” asked Willow. “That’s why we signed up for Tech Camp!” I smiled. “Oh, I think I might have bad news for you,” said Willow. “This is Nature Camp. I know that for sure because I came here last year, and the kids in Tech Camp were in totally different cabins.” “No!” I said, “I must have accidentally clicked on the wrong form on the website!” We raced back to the welcome table to see if I could switch over to Tech Camp, but of course it was completely full. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I smiled at Willow, but I just felt so disappointed that I had to sit down for a minute. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Even though I didn’t choose the program on purpose, Willow was right. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】  I smiled at Willow, but I just felt so disappointed that I had to sit down for a minute. My dream of a week filled with coding and animation had vanished in an instant. Willow sat beside me, her eyes filled with sympathy. “I’m really sorry,” she said softly. “But maybe there’s something good here too. Nature Camp might not be what you expected, but it could still be fun.” I sighed, trying to shake off my disappointment. “You’re right,” I said. “I should at least give it a chance.”        Even though I didn’t choose the program on purpose, Willow was right. As the days passed, I found myself getting lost in the beauty of the natural world around me. I went on hikes and learned about different plants and animals. And to my surprise, I discovered a new passion for outdoor activities that I had never known before. By the end of the week, I realized that sometimes the best things in life are the ones we don’t plan for. Nature Camp had given me an unexpected adventure, and I was grateful for it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个孩子原本期待参加一个以计算机编程和动画设计为主题的夏令营，但因误选而报名了自然夏令营。到达营地后，他才发现自己的错误，并试图转到Tech Camp，但发现名额已满。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我对Willow笑了笑，但我只是感到很失望，我不得不坐下来一会儿。”可知，第一段可描写作者在意识到自己误入了自然夏令营后的失望情绪，以及Willow给予的安慰和鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“虽然我不是故意选择这个项目的，但Willow是对的。”可知，第二段可描写作者接受自然夏令营的过程。 2.续写线索：作者梦想消失——Willow安慰——打算试一下自然夏令营——发现自然的美——发现对户外活动的热情——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：vanish/disappear ②摆脱：shake off/get rid of ③发现：discover/spot 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】[高分句型1] As the days passed, I found myself getting lost in the beauty of the natural world around me.
