B After Brooke Gazer lost her job in 1996, she and her husband Rick decided to quit their life in Calgary, Alberta, and open their own bed and breakfast. “Our criteria was that if we were going to change our lives, we’d live someplace warm near a beach,” says Brooke. They ultimately agreed Mexico, the country where they’d first considered taking this step, was the right fit for them, as well as the most financially viable (可行的) option. However, their family and friends held a different attitude. “As a matter of fact, my best friend said, ‘Brooke, if you’re having a midlife crisis, wouldn’t it be easier to do something simple, like changing your hair color?’” says Brooke. In February 1999, they left Calgary for Mexico. After exploring for six months, they decided on Huatulco, a coastal town in Oaxaca. They purchased land for $75,000 in August 1999 and began building a six-guestroom hotel overlooking Tejoncito Cove. They opened Agua Azul la Villa in January 2002, with the total cost of the build coming to roughly $350,000. “Running a hotel was a wonderful lifestyle,” says Brooke. “One of the things we enjoyed most was the people we met along the way. With a hotel, people came to us.” It took them a little while to navigate some of the cultural differences, particularly dealing with the laid-back (悠闲的) approach to time and scheduling appointments in the country. After two decades in Huatulco, they moved to Merida, Yucatán due to Rick’s health issues. They’ve been living there since 2021. Although their friends and family initially expressed concern about their safety when they decided to move to Mexico, it’s never been an issue for them. “We’ve traveled in many parts of Mexico, and there are a few I won’t go back to. But other than that, to me it’s a safe country,” says Rick. “We’ve been very lucky,” says Brooke. “If people ask if we have any regrets, the only regret that we have is that we couldn’t afford to do it sooner.” 24. How did the couple’s friends react when hearing their decision? A. They made a complaint. B. They applauded it. C. They expressed their worry. D. They regarded it inspiring. 25. What did the couple do before leaving for Huatulco? A. They did some research. B. They purchased some land. C. They colored their hair. D. They built some hotels. 26. What was probably the most challenging for the couple in Huatulco? A. Financial gains. B. Meeting new people. C. Safety concerns. D. Cultural differences. 27. In which section of a newspaper does this text most probably appear? A. Health. B. People. C. Art. D. Economics. C With a desktop 3D printer, you can do anything. From making prosthetic legs or wheelchairs for immobile animals to stylish pieces of decorations—this technology is proposing a faster and more efficient method that you can take advantage of to create things in the comfort of your home. In spite of the recent craze for 3D printers, this groundbreaking technology is actually older than you think. Desktop 3D printers have been made use of by designers and engineers for more than 30 years, but only recently have these multifunctional machines made their way into homes and become increasingly popular. Today, 3D printing has enabled freedom and creativity for everyone to create almost anything without the need for a storehouse or expensive machinery. French designer, Rémy Vicarini pioneered 3D-printed helmets (头盔) for his adventure-loving cat, Cathode. Vicarini’s journey began with advanced CAD software like Fusion 360 to ensure the safety of his cat during outdoor activities such as cycling and skiing, where he mapped Cathode’s unique head dimensions to make a helmet tailored to it. During the design process, he employed Boolean operations to generate honeycomb-shaped ventilation (通风) holes on the helmet’s surface and integrated adjustable buckle (锁扣) structures, balancing safety and comfort. This digital-to-physical workflow reduced the trial-and-error costs of traditional handcrafting. The future of 3D printing holds huge potential, driven by advancements in materials, speed and accessibility. As the technology improves, we can expect printers to become faster, more affordable, and capable of handling a wider range of materials, including biodegradable (可生物降解的)plastics and even metals. This will revolutionize industries like healthcare, enabling on-demand production of prosthetics and implants tailored to individual patients. In homes, 3D printers could become as common as microwaves, allowing people to create everything from custom furniture to replacement parts. Moreover, AI integration may streamline design processes, making 3D printing even more user-friendly. 28. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. The popularity of 3D printing. B. The complexity of 3D printing. C. The role model of 3D printers. D. The origin of 3D printers. 29. What does the text say about Vicarini’s design process? A. It needs to be mechanized. B. It is cost-saving. C. It used advanced materials. D. It is time-consuming. 30. What can be concluded about the future 3D printing? A. It will rarely benefit the healthcare industry. B. Biodegradable plastics will make it more affordable. C. The employment of AI will be the most crucial factor. D. It will lead to a significant transformation in daily life. 31 What’s the best title for the text? A. A Cat Makes Its Owner Popular B. 3D-Printed Helmets Prove Practical C. 3D Printing Brings Creation D. Technology Development Is the Key D Experts believe that earthquakes may become more intense and closer together as a result of climate change. The melting (融化) of glaciers is speeding up due to global warming. The land that was beneath the melted glacier water rises when it runs off land and into the sea. Among the most terrible of all natural disasters are earthquakes. While experts can prepare when the major ones will strike, smaller ones can strike seemingly at any time, destroying entire cities and causing smaller disasters like fires, landslides and tsunamis (海啸). An upcoming rise in sea level along with glacier melt may make future earthquakes more frequent, according to John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist. The risk of earthquakes caused by glacial retreat (退缩) is less than that of what may be associated with rising sea levels. An increase in sea level results in an increase in underwater pressure on the seabed and therefore on the fault lines near the shore. According to researchers, many earthquakes that are anticipated soon close to San Francisco and Los Angeles still have late earthquake cycles. Consequently, the geological clock can be moved faster with slightly higher temperatures. It could cause earthquakes in several regions. The stop in sea level rise could take up to a thousand years, even in the event that we immediately stopped using greenhouse gases. Cassidy is unsure if, at least during our lifetimes, the sea level rise would result in a significant enough change in pressure to precipitate these massive earthquakes. Cassidy underlined that the effects of climate change will increase their risk when they occur. As sea level rises, earthquake-caused tsunamis will extend farther inland. Increased rainfall brought on by warmer waters will enhance the likelihood of landslides caused by earthquakes. As any vibration (震动) in wet ground is far more intensified than in dry ground, rainfall will likewise highlight earthquake shaking. “It’s an important topic, one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” Cassidy said. 32. What aspect of earthquakes is stressed in paragraph 2? A. Their universality. B. Their predictability. C. Their suddenness. D. Their intensity. 33. What does the text imply about stopping using greenhouse gases right away? A. Earthquakes will be prevented. B. The sea level rise will stop at once. C. The geological clock will move faster. D. Coastal earthquakes may be fewer in the future. 34. What does the underlined word “precipitate” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Quicken. C. Predict. D. Prevent. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cassidy is concerned about changes in sea level. B. Disastrous earthquakes surely suffer from sea level rises. C. Climate change has no impact on earthquake occurrences. D. The chance of the secondary effects from earthquakes is low. 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。 Throwing a dinner party is a great way to build social connections.

When they wave back, it makes him happy, too.” “I’m coming, Grandpa,” Tyler called back. Tyler walked out of the front door and saw Grandpa wrapping a gray scarf around his neck and putting on his red hat there. “I do hope I can meet the neighbors on such a cold day,” said Grandpa. Since Grandma died, Grandpa still walked along the same route every day as they had done before and the neighbors had become so used to his presence, especially his red hat, that they usually greeted Grandpa even when he did not see them. When Grandpa and Tyler turned a corner, they saw an old man wearing a black hat and scarf. “Hi, Henry,” Grandpa said. “I don’t see you out much these days.” “My doctor suggests I take walks for my health, but I really don’t want to get out,” Henry complained and pulled his scarf up over his mouth and nose. “It’s still autumn, but it feels like the dead of winter.” Suddenly, a strong wind blew off both men’s hats, which flew toward a nearby pond. Tyler ran after the hats and grabbed Grandpa’s just in time, while Henry’s went into the pond. He fished it out of the water and returned it to Henry. “It’s wet. Just throw it away. I’ll have to buy a new one,” Henry said coldly and walked away. Henry seemed very lonely and was in a bad mood since his wife passed away recently. 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。 Tyler looked at Grandpa’s red hat and came up with a plan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tyler caught up with Henry and handed the red hat to him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 大通县2025年普通高等学校招生考试第二次模拟考试 高三英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑;非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：高考范围。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What time is it now?

One of the jobs is a sales representative for a big computer company. That job would be good because I could travel to Europe and Asia. I’d love that. And the other good thing about it is the pay. I could really make lots of money as long as I sold a lot of computers. M: Right. Your pay would depend on how many computers you sold every month. That could be a challenge. So, what’s the other job? W: It’s a computer company, too, but a much smaller one. The job has good points, too. I’d have a steady income — the same salary every month. It would be good to know exactly how much money I could earn in every month. And it’s a small company that’s growing. I could be a manager in a few years. M: That’s good! W: Yeah, I don’t know, though. But I’ve been wanting to travel. Maybe it’s time for a challenge. 听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 17. What can be known about Halland Common? A.

B 【解析】 【原文】 M: Hello, I’m delighted to tell you about some of the parks and open spaces nearby. One pleasant place is Halland Common. This has been public land for hundreds of years, and there’s an information board about the plants and animals you can see here, and by the way, the Common is accessible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Then there’s Holt Island, which is noted for its great range of trees. The island is only open to the public during daylight hours from Friday to Sunday, because it is quite small, and if there were people around every day, much of the wildlife would keep away. From there it’s just a short walk across the bridge to Longfield Country Park. Children’s activities are often arranged there, like bread-making and face-painting. The park is open from Monday to Saturday. And finally, I’d like to tell you about our new wildlife area, Hinchingbrooke Park, which will be opened to the public next month. There’s a lake in the northwest of the park, with a bird hide to the west of it. So it’ll be a nice quiet place for watching the birds on the lake. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A The Four Best Wildlife Experiences in Bali Ready to start great adventures?

They ultimately agreed Mexico, the country where they’d first considered taking this step, was the right fit for them, as well as the most financially viable (可行的) option. However, their family and friends held a different attitude. “As a matter of fact, my best friend said, ‘Brooke, if you’re having a midlife crisis, wouldn’t it be easier to do something simple, like changing your hair color?’” says Brooke. In February 1999, they left Calgary for Mexico. After exploring for six months, they decided on Huatulco, a coastal town in Oaxaca. They purchased land for $75,000 in August 1999 and began building a six-guestroom hotel overlooking Tejoncito Cove. They opened Agua Azul la Villa in January 2002, with the total cost of the build coming to roughly $350,000. “Running a hotel was a wonderful lifestyle,” says Brooke. “One of the things we enjoyed most was the people we met along the way. With a hotel, people came to us.” It took them a little while to navigate some of the cultural differences, particularly dealing with the laid-back (悠闲的) approach to time and scheduling appointments in the country. After two decades in Huatulco, they moved to Merida, Yucatán due to Rick’s health issues. They’ve been living there since 2021. Although their friends and family initially expressed concern about their safety when they decided to move to Mexico, it’s never been an issue for them. “We’ve traveled in many parts of Mexico, and there are a few I won’t go back to. But other than that, to me it’s a safe country,” says Rick. “We’ve been very lucky,” says Brooke. “If people ask if we have any regrets, the only regret that we have is that we couldn’t afford to do it sooner.” 24. How did the couple’s friends react when hearing their decision? A. They made a complaint. B. They applauded it. C. They expressed their worry. D. They regarded it inspiring. 25. What did the couple do before leaving for Huatulco? A. They did some research. B. They purchased some land. C. They colored their hair. D. They built some hotels. 26. What was probably the most challenging for the couple in Huatulco? A. Financial gains. B. Meeting new people. C. Safety concerns. D. Cultural differences. 27. In which section of a newspaper does this text most probably appear? A. Health. B. People. C. Art. D. Economics. 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. D 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对加拿大夫妇放弃在卡尔加里的生活，移居墨西哥，开办带有床位的早餐旅馆，以及他们在墨西哥生活二十多年的经历和感受的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“However, their family and friends held a different attitude. “As a matter of fact, my best friend said, ‘Brooke, if you’re having a midlife crisis, wouldn’t it be easier to do something simple, like changing your hair color?’” says Brooke. (然而，他们的家人和朋友却持不同的态度。“事实上，我最好的朋友对我说，‘布鲁克，如果你正在经历中年危机，做一些简单的事情不是更容易吗，比如改变你的头发颜色？’”布鲁克说。)”可知，朋友们对布鲁克和里克夫妇的决定感到担心。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“After exploring for six months, they decided on Huatulco, a coastal town in Oaxaca. (在探索了六个月后，他们决定去瓦哈卡州的一个沿海小镇华图尔科。)”可知，布鲁克和里克夫妇决定前往瓦图尔科之前做了些调查。故选A。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It took them a little while to navigate some of the cultural differences, particularly dealing with the laid-back (悠闲的) approach to time and scheduling appointments in the country. (他们花了一段时间来处理一些文化差异，特别是处理在这个国家悠闲的时间和安排约会的方式。)”可推断，在瓦图尔科，文化差异可能是布鲁克和里克夫妇最大的挑战。故选D。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In February 1999, they left Calgary for Mexico. After exploring for six months, they decided on Huatulco, a coastal town in Oaxaca.(1999年2月，他们离开卡尔加里前往墨西哥。在探索了六个月后，他们决定去瓦哈卡州的一个沿海小镇华图尔科。)”及全文可知，文章主要讲述了一对加拿大夫妇搬迁至墨西哥瓦图尔科及玛瑞达的故事，所以文章最有可能出现在报纸的“人物”版块。故选B。 C With a desktop 3D printer, you can do anything. From making prosthetic legs or wheelchairs for immobile animals to stylish pieces of decorations—this technology is proposing a faster and more efficient method that you can take advantage of to create things in the comfort of your home. In spite of the recent craze for 3D printers, this groundbreaking technology is actually older than you think. Desktop 3D printers have been made use of by designers and engineers for more than 30 years, but only recently have these multifunctional machines made their way into homes and become increasingly popular. Today, 3D printing has enabled freedom and creativity for everyone to create almost anything without the need for a storehouse or expensive machinery. French designer, Rémy Vicarini pioneered 3D-printed helmets (头盔) for his adventure-loving cat, Cathode. Vicarini’s journey began with advanced CAD software like Fusion 360 to ensure the safety of his cat during outdoor activities such as cycling and skiing, where he mapped Cathode’s unique head dimensions to make a helmet tailored to it. During the design process, he employed Boolean operations to generate honeycomb-shaped ventilation (通风) holes on the helmet’s surface and integrated adjustable buckle (锁扣) structures, balancing safety and comfort. This digital-to-physical workflow reduced the trial-and-error costs of traditional handcrafting. The future of 3D printing holds huge potential, driven by advancements in materials, speed and accessibility. As the technology improves, we can expect printers to become faster, more affordable, and capable of handling a wider range of materials, including biodegradable (可生物降解的)plastics and even metals. This will revolutionize industries like healthcare, enabling on-demand production of prosthetics and implants tailored to individual patients. In homes, 3D printers could become as common as microwaves, allowing people to create everything from custom furniture to replacement parts. Moreover, AI integration may streamline design processes, making 3D printing even more user-friendly. 28. What can we know from paragraph 2? A. The popularity of 3D printing. B. The complexity of 3D printing. C. The role model of 3D printers. D. The origin of 3D printers. 29. What does the text say about Vicarini’s design process? A. It needs to be mechanized. B. It is cost-saving. C. It used advanced materials. D. It is time-consuming. 30. What can be concluded about the future 3D printing? A. It will rarely benefit the healthcare industry. B. Biodegradable plastics will make it more affordable. C. The employment of AI will be the most crucial factor. D. It will lead to a significant transformation in daily life. 31. What’s the best title for the text? A. A Cat Makes Its Owner Popular B. 3D-Printed Helmets Prove Practical C. 3D Printing Brings Creation D. Technology Development Is the Key 【答案】28. A 29. B 30.

The melting (融化) of glaciers is speeding up due to global warming. The land that was beneath the melted glacier water rises when it runs off land and into the sea. Among the most terrible of all natural disasters are earthquakes. While experts can prepare when the major ones will strike, smaller ones can strike seemingly at any time, destroying entire cities and causing smaller disasters like fires, landslides and tsunamis (海啸). An upcoming rise in sea level along with glacier melt may make future earthquakes more frequent, according to John Cassidy, an earthquake seismologist. The risk of earthquakes caused by glacial retreat (退缩) is less than that of what may be associated with rising sea levels. An increase in sea level results in an increase in underwater pressure on the seabed and therefore on the fault lines near the shore. According to researchers, many earthquakes that are anticipated soon close to San Francisco and Los Angeles still have late earthquake cycles. Consequently, the geological clock can be moved faster with slightly higher temperatures. It could cause earthquakes in several regions. The stop in sea level rise could take up to a thousand years, even in the event that we immediately stopped using greenhouse gases. Cassidy is unsure if, at least during our lifetimes, the sea level rise would result in a significant enough change in pressure to precipitate these massive earthquakes. Cassidy underlined that the effects of climate change will increase their risk when they occur. As sea level rises, earthquake-caused tsunamis will extend farther inland. Increased rainfall brought on by warmer waters will enhance the likelihood of landslides caused by earthquakes. As any vibration (震动) in wet ground is far more intensified than in dry ground, rainfall will likewise highlight earthquake shaking. “It’s an important topic, one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” Cassidy said. 32. What aspect of earthquakes is stressed in paragraph 2? A. Their universality. B. Their predictability. C. Their suddenness. D. Their intensity. 33. What does the text imply about stopping using greenhouse gases right away? A. Earthquakes will be prevented. B. The sea level rise will stop at once. C. The geological clock will move faster. D. Coastal earthquakes may be fewer in the future. 34. What does the underlined word “precipitate” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Quicken. C. Predict. D. Prevent. 35. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Cassidy is concerned about changes in sea level. B. Disastrous earthquakes surely suffer from sea level rises. C. Climate change has no impact on earthquake occurrences. D. The chance of the secondary effects from earthquakes is low. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了气候变化对地震活动可能产生影响，特别是冰川融化和海平面上升如何可能增加地震的频率和强度。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Among the most terrible of all natural disasters are earthquakes. While experts can prepare when the major ones will strike, smaller ones can strike seemingly at any time, destroying entire cities and causing smaller disasters like fires, landslides and tsunamis (海啸).(在所有的自然灾害中，地震是最为可怕的灾害之一。虽然专家们能够预测大型地震的发生时间，但小型地震似乎随时都可能发生，它们会摧毁整座城市，并引发火灾、山体滑坡和海啸等次生灾害。)”可知，地震是最可怕的自然灾害之一，虽然专家能预测大型地震的发生，但小型地震似乎随时都可能发生，并造成严重后果。这里强调的是小型地震发生的突然性，也就是它们可能毫无预兆地突然出现。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“According to researchers, many earthquakes that are anticipated soon close to San Francisco and Los Angeles still have late earthquake cycles. Consequently, the geological clock can be moved faster with slightly higher temperatures. It could cause earthquakes in several regions. The stop in sea level rise could take up to a thousand years, even in the event that we immediately stopped using greenhouse gases.(研究人员称，预计不久后旧金山和洛杉矶附近将会发生的许多地震，其地震周期仍然较晚。因此，温度稍有升高就可能会加快地质时钟的运转。这可能会在多个地区引发地震。即使我们立即停止使用温室气体，海平面上升的趋势也可能需要长达一千年的时间才会停止。)”可知，海平面上升和冰川融化可能会使未来地震更频繁，而即便我们立即停止使用温室气体，海平面上升的停止也可能需要长达一千年，但这暗示了如果停止使用温室气体，从长远来看，海平面上升的趋势会得到控制，所以控制住海平面上升，未来沿海地区的地震可能会减少。故选D。 【34题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章划线单词上下文“Cassidy is unsure if, at least during our lifetimes, the sea level rise would result in a significant enough change in pressure to precipitate these massive earthquakes. Cassidy underlined that the effects of climate change will increase their risk when they occur.(Cassidy不确定，至少在我们的有生之年，海平面上升是否会导致压力发生足够显著的变化，从而……这些大规模的地震。Cassidy强调，一旦地震发生，气候变化的影响将会增加其造成的风险。)”可知，前面提到海平面上升和气候变化与地震的关系，Cassidy不确定在我们有生之年海平面上升是否会导致足够显著的压力变化来“precipitate”这些大规模地震，且后面又说气候变化的影响会增加地震发生时的风险，推测“precipitate”意思是引发、促使（地震发生），也就是加快地震发生的进程。选项B“quicken”意为“加速、加快”，与划线词意思相近。故选B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“As sea level rises, earthquake-caused tsunamis will extend farther inland. Increased rainfall brought on by warmer waters will enhance the likelihood of landslides caused by earthquakes. As any vibration (震动) in wet ground is far more intensified than in dry ground, rainfall will likewise highlight earthquake shaking. “It’s an important topic, one that I’m sure we’ll see a lot of information coming out on in the coming months and years,” Cassidy said.(随着海平面上升，地震引发的海啸将会向内陆蔓延得更远。温暖的海水带来的降雨增多，将会增加地震引发山体滑坡的可能性。因为潮湿地面的震动比干燥地面的震动要强烈得多，降雨同样也会加剧地震带来的晃动。Cassidy说：“这是一个重要的话题，我相信在未来的几个月乃至几年里，我们会看到大量关于这个话题的信息。”)”可推测，Cassidy提到海平面上升可能带来的一系列影响，从这些内容可以看出，Cassidy对海平面上升所带来的各种变化，尤其是对地震及其次生灾害的影响非常关注。故选A。 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。 Throwing a dinner party is a great way to build social connections.

My group believes that it’s a fantastic idea to provide three versions of school uniforms for students to wear. Firstly, it’s important to respect students’ choice freedom as we teenagers tend to enjoy showing our individuality. The only one style of school uniforms looks unavoidably boring while the three kinds represent unity combined with variety. Besides, this arrangement allows students to wear school uniforms according to different events and ceremonies. Therefore, each kind of school uniform really plays its unique role. Overall, we sincerely hope to live a relaxing and orderly life after the stressful study. Having three versions of school uniforms for a change is one desirable practice.

When they wave back, it makes him happy, too.” “I’m coming, Grandpa,” Tyler called back. Tyler walked out of the front door and saw Grandpa wrapping a gray scarf around his neck and putting on his red hat there. “I do hope I can meet the neighbors on such a cold day,” said Grandpa. Since Grandma died, Grandpa still walked along the same route every day as they had done before and the neighbors had become so used to his presence, especially his red hat, that they usually greeted Grandpa even when he did not see them. When Grandpa and Tyler turned a corner, they saw an old man wearing a black hat and scarf. “Hi, Henry,” Grandpa said. “I don’t see you out much these days.” “My doctor suggests I take walks for my health, but I really don’t want to get out,” Henry complained and pulled his scarf up over his mouth and nose. “It’s still autumn, but it feels like the dead of winter.” Suddenly, a strong wind blew off both men’s hats, which flew toward a nearby pond. Tyler ran after the hats and grabbed Grandpa’s just in time, while Henry’s went into the pond. He fished it out of the water and returned it to Henry. “It’s wet. Just throw it away. I’ll have to buy a new one,” Henry said coldly and walked away. Henry seemed very lonely and was in a bad mood since his wife passed away recently. 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。 Tyler looked at Grandpa’s red hat and came up with a plan. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tyler caught up with Henry and handed the red hat to him. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tyler looked at Grandpa’s red hat and came up with a plan. He knew that the red hat always brought smile to people’s faces and made them wave back at Grandpa. Tyler wondered whether it could brighten Henry’s day, too. Tyler turned to Grandpa who was talking with a neighbor, and asked Grandpa whether he could borrow the red hat for a few minutes. With a knowing smile, Grandpa nodded immediately. Tyler caught up with Henry and handed the red hat to him. Noticing the skeptical look on Henry’s face, Tyler suggested that he could do the shopping for him. Henry hesitated for a moment and eventually accepted the hat and put it on his head. Just then, a car passed by, and the driver, who might mistake Henry for Grandpa, waved and shouted cheerfully, “Good morning, Grandpa in red hat!” Henry’s face lit up and he waved back. “Would you please find a red hat for me, too? I think it’s time to try a different color,” Henry said shyly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Tyler和爷爷在寒冷天气中散步，并与邻居Henry之间发生的一系列互动，展现了人与人之间的温情和善意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tyler看着爷爷的红色帽子，想出了一个办法。”以及第二段首句内容“Tyler追上了Henry，把红色帽子递给了他。”可知，第一段可描写Tyler向爷爷借了帽子，打算给Henry戴。 ②由第二段首句内容“Tyler追上了Henry，把红色帽子递给了他。”可知，第二段可描写Henry接受了Tyler的好意，并且决定向人们敞开心扉。 2.续写线索：Tyler心中有了个主意，他发现红帽子总会让人们微笑——Tyler想知道红帽子能不能让Henry开心一点——于是，Tyler向爷爷借帽子，爷爷明白了Tyler的想法，点了点头同意了——Tyler将红帽子递给了Henry——Henry犹豫了一下，戴在了头上——一位司机向他打招呼，他也热情地回应了对方——Henry决定向人们敞开心扉 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 想知道：wonder/ want to know ② 注意到：notice/ spot ③ 建议：suggest/ advise 情绪类 ① 高兴地：cheerfully/ merrily/ gleefully ② 羞怯地：shyly/ bashfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He knew that the red hat always brought smile to people’s faces and made them wave back at Grandpa.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型2】Tyler turned to Grandpa who was talking with a neighbor, and asked Grandpa whether he could borrow the red hat for a few minutes.（运用了who引导的定语从句和whether引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。The women's volleyball match starts at three thirty this afternoon.
