A. purchase the magazine on the App Store B. be informed of the latest news in humanity C. cancel the order within 2 weeks of its purchase D. get a full refund if they find the price lower elsewhere B Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project. I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family. Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 4 What do we know about the author? A. He felt honored to study English literature. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C. He took pride in having contributed to the world. D. His university education focused on theoretical knowledge. 5 How was the writer’s application process? A. Awkward. B. Complex. C. Entertaining. D. Effortless. 6. What did the writer do in the village? A. Working as a teacher. B. Helping villagers build hospitals. C. Raising money for his students. D. Inviting locals to enter his Project. 7. Which can be the best title of the text? A. Lighthouse Project—The Promise of African Education B. The Memorable and Rewarding life in Abuja C. A Life-changing Voluntary Experience D. Lighthouse Project—A Volunteer Organization for New Graduates C Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” 8. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A. To express his sorrow for the loss. B. To stress the high risk of space flights. C. To show the result of wrong operation. D. To give an example of overconfidence. 9. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A. It urged students to gain recognition. B. It encouraged students to take exams. C. It helped students to adjust learning methods. D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 10. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject. 11. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A. Why questioning our belief is hard. B. Why intellectual humility is helpful. C. How to become a confident person. D. How to practice intellectual humility. D Does AI have dementia, a serious mental disorder? Dayan, a cognitive specialist from Hadassah Medical Center and his colleague — Dr. Benjamin, a neurologist, and Gal, a data scientist at London-based Quantum Black Analytics, administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA, to five leadingllMs (ChatGPT-4, ERGPT-40, Claude, Gemini 1 and Gemini1.5). This assesses cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) by giving “patients” a variety of simple tasks. For example, copy the drawing of a cube. Give as many words as you can that begin with the letter “F.” Subtract seven from 100 until you reach zero. To Dayan’s surprise, none of the models obtained the full score of 30 points. Most scored between 18 and 25, indicating mild cognitive impairment associated with early dementia. Every model outperformed the average person in attention and memory-related tasks but faltered on visual and spatial tasks, such as those that asked them to draw or orient themselves in the universe. Researchers also showed the chat-bots the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination “cookie theft” picture, of a boy standing on a bench to steal cookies as his mother washes dishes. “Patients” describe it while analysts assess their speech and language function. All models correctly interpreted parts of the image, the study found, but none expressed concern that the boy was about to fall. This lack of empathy is commonly associated with front-to-temporal dementia, the study authors said. Notably, older models performed worse on the MoCA than newer versions. The authors drew a resemblance (相似点) between “dementia” risk in aging AI and in human brains. This December 2024 study was carried out for the Christmas edition of The BMJ — one of the world’s most medical journals, subjecting all articles to a thorough peer review process. In some way, the study was written more “tongue-in-cheek”. Methodologically, llMs should not be examined by methods meant for people. However, the results may spark conversations about the differences between AI and human doctors — and the important roles both can play. 12. What can be inferred about the AI models’ performance on visual and spatial tasks? A. They performed better than humans on these tasks. B. They struggled more on these tasks compared to memory-related tasks. C. They showed no difference in performance across all tasks. D. They were unable to complete any visual or spatial tasks. 13. What did the researchers do to carry out the study in paragraph 3? A. They assessed the computing ability of the AI models. B. They tracked how the AI models processed the picture. C. They measured the AI models’ scores of series of tests. D. They analyzed the AI models’ ability of interpreting the picture. 14. How does the passage develop? A. It presents a problem, describes a study, and then discusses the results. B. It compares different AI models and their development over time. C. It develops by making comparisons between AI models and humans. D. It lists the advantages and disadvantages of using AI in medical testing. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Skeptical. B. Enthusiastic. C. Neutral. D. Critical. 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。 Studying abroad is an enriching experience that many students dream of.

I’ve always loved running, so I was really happy when I found I lived next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go running before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers (抢劫犯) in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me 10 dollars and asked me to buy some bread on the way. It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into (撞到) me. He said sorry to me and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was a little strange. The warning of robbers in the park hit me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became anxious, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the 10 dollars! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist (拳头) at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me 10 dollars. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife the story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I said with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But I didn’t give up finding him and for several days, I waited at the same place in the park. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 柳城县中学2023级高二下学期期中考试试题 (英语科 考试时间：120分钟) 出题人： 审题人： 第Ⅰ卷(选择题) 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．Where will the woman probably go after class?

I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out. After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, food, and hearts as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. 4. What do we know about the author? A. He felt honored to study English literature. B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer. C.

(我的英国文学荣誉学位并没有真正为我做任何实际工作做好准备。)”可知，作者的大学教育注重的是理论知识。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. (然而，最终，我赢得了家人的支持，我递交了申请所需的所有文件。经过无数的面试和陈述，我成功地从众多候选人中脱颖而出，独自通过了考试。)”可推知，作者申请的过程是复杂的。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. (在接下来的一年左右的时间里，我在同一所学校教书。但有时我觉得我从学生身上学到的比他们从我身上学到的还要多。)”可知，作者在山村里当教师。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，尤其是第二段中“I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. (作为灯塔计划的志愿者，我通过尽可能多地阅读以前志愿者的经历开始了我的旅程。)”和最后一段中“The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever. (灯塔计划永远地改变了我的生活。)”可知，本文讲述的是作者参加的灯塔项目永远改变了他的人生。因此，C项“改变人生的志愿经历”契合文章大意，最适合作为标题。故选C。 C Self-confidence is trusting in our abilities or qualities. It’s usually seen as a good thing. But is it possible that we might benefit from a little less confidence in our beliefs? For many years, Dr. Mark Leary, a neuroscientist at Duke University in Durham, N.C. , has studied the role of people’s beliefs in their behavior. He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. A survey of 144 college students to measure their intellectual humility found that students who saw their thinking could be wrong tended to be more curious and more likely to seek out new knowledge. They ended up knowing more at the end of the day. But does it actually help you beyond that? To find out more, Dr. Tenelle Porter at Ball State University conducted a series of studies with high school students. She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. Students who didn’t see their knowledge could be wrong might instead just sail through their studying and wouldn’t stop to ask themselves if they truly understood what they read, heard, or did. Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. Although it might be good for you, researchers recognize that questioning your beliefs can be truly hard. Still, it’s important to remember that questioning beliefs isn’t always about replacing old ones with new ones. If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” 8. Why does the author mention the explosion of the Challenger? A. To express his sorrow for the loss. B. To stress the high risk of space flights. C. To show the result of wrong operation. D. To give an example of overconfidence. 9. What do we know about intellectual humility according to Porter’s research? A. It urged students to gain recognition. B. It encouraged students to take exams. C. It helped students to adjust learning methods. D. It motivated students to memorize knowledge. 10. What do the underlined words “got a subject down pat” mean in paragraph 5? A. Fully mastered a subject. B. Put great effort into a subject C. Really enjoyed a subject. D. Benefited a lot from a subject. 11. What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs? A. Why questioning our belief is hard. B. Why intellectual humility is helpful. C. How to become a confident person. D. How to practice intellectual humility. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家的研究，通过具体研究案例，来说明智力谦逊如何帮助人们更好地学习和调整学习策略。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二至第四句“He found overconfidence is very common, especially when it comes to what people believe to be true, and can lead us to disastrous decisions. In 1986, NASA believed that the risk of loss for any space flight was roughly 1 in 100,000. It was an overconfident belief and might have led to the explosion of the Challenger. (他发现过度自信非常普遍，尤其是在人们认为某件事情正确时，这种过度自信可能会导致灾难性的决策。1986年，NASA认为每次太空飞行发生损失的风险大约是1/100,000。这种过度自信的信念可能引发了“挑战者号”的爆炸)”可知，作者先介绍了科学家发现过度自信可能导致严重后果，之后提及1986年这起灾难。由此推知，提及“挑战者号”爆炸是说明过度自信会导致灾难的一个例子。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第二、三句“She found that students with intellectual humility were much more likely to test themselves to see whether they really understood the material and seek out potential holes in their understanding. When they got test scores, they’d change their study strategics to improve their performance and master the material for the next test. (她发现，智力谦逊的学生更有可能去检验自己是否真正理解了学习材料，并寻找自己理解上的漏洞。当他们看到考试成绩时，他们会调整学习策略，以提高学习表现，并掌握好材料为下一次考试做准备)”可知，智力谦逊这种特质会使学生及时反思自己的学习，相应调整学习方法。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段第二句“Such students thought they got a subject down pat, but when asked to explain it on a test, they found they didn’t actually understand as much as they had thought. (这些学生以为自己对某个科目got down pat，但在考试中被要求解释时，他们发现自己的理解并没有自己想象的那么多)”可知，学生们在考试之前应是对自己比较自信，认为自己对该相关知识十分了解，或已经全会了，但到考场答题时，才发现自己会的不如原本所认为的那么多。由此可知，got a subject down pat应是“对某科目了解很多”或“对某科目完全掌握”之意。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“The good news is that there’s a “vaccine (疫苗)” for overconfidence, and that’s what scientists call “intellectual humility”— recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong. (好消息是，过度自信有一种“疫苗”，科学家称之为“智力谦逊”——即认识到你的信念可能是错误的)”及全文最后一句“If you find it hard to question a belief, try taking “baby steps.” (如果你觉得很难质疑一种信念，可以尝试迈出“一小步”)”可知，最后一句中所说的“question a belief”即前文所说的“recognizing that your beliefs could be wrong”，也就是第二段最后一句引号中所言的“智力谦逊”。全文最后一句又说，“可以尝试迈出‘一小步’”。由此推知，所谓的“一小步”究竟该怎么做，会在下文进行介绍，即如何练习做到“智力谦虚”。故选D项。 D Does AI have dementia, a serious mental disorder? Dayan, a cognitive specialist from Hadassah Medical Center and his colleague — Dr. Benjamin, a neurologist, and Gal, a data scientist at London-based Quantum Black Analytics, administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA, to five leadingllMs (ChatGPT-4, ERGPT-40, Claude, Gemini 1 and Gemini1.5). This assesses cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) by giving “patients” a variety of simple tasks. For example, copy the drawing of a cube. Give as many words as you can that begin with the letter “F.” Subtract seven from 100 until you reach zero. To Dayan’s surprise, none of the models obtained the full score of 30 points. Most scored between 18 and 25, indicating mild cognitive impairment associated with early dementia. Every model outperformed the average person in attention and memory-related tasks but faltered on visual and spatial tasks, such as those that asked them to draw or orient themselves in the universe. Researchers also showed the chat-bots the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination “cookie theft” picture, of a boy standing on a bench to steal cookies as his mother washes dishes. “Patients” describe it while analysts assess their speech and language function. All models correctly interpreted parts of the image, the study found, but none expressed concern that the boy was about to fall. This lack of empathy is commonly associated with front-to-temporal dementia, the study authors said. Notably, older models performed worse on the MoCA than newer versions. The authors drew a resemblance (相似点) between “dementia” risk in aging AI and in human brains. This December 2024 study was carried out for the Christmas edition of The BMJ — one of the world’s most medical journals, subjecting all articles to a thorough peer review process. In some way, the study was written more “tongue-in-cheek”. Methodologically, llMs should not be examined by methods meant for people. However, the results may spark conversations about the differences between AI and human doctors — and the important roles both can play. 12. What can be inferred about the AI models’ performance on visual and spatial tasks? A. They performed better than humans on these tasks. B. They struggled more on these tasks compared to memory-related tasks. C. They showed no difference in performance across all tasks. D. They were unable to complete any visual or spatial tasks. 13. What did the researchers do to carry out the study in paragraph 3? A. They assessed the computing ability of the AI models. B. They tracked how the AI models processed the picture. C. They measured the AI models’ scores of series of tests. D. They analyzed the AI models’ ability of interpreting the picture. 14. How does the passage develop? A. It presents a problem, describes a study, and then discusses the results. B. It compares different AI models and their development over time. C. It develops by making comparisons between AI models and humans. D. It lists the advantages and disadvantages of using AI in medical testing. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the study’s findings? A. Skeptical. B. Enthusiastic. C. Neutral. D. Critical. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了对AI模型进行认知评估的研究及其发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段中的“Every model outperformed the average person in attention and memory-related tasks but faltered on visual and spatial tasks, such as those that asked them to draw or orient themselves in the universe. (每个模型在注意力和记忆相关任务上的表现都优于普通人，但在视觉和空间任务上却表现不佳，比如那些要求它们画画或在宇宙中确定方向的任务)”可知，与记忆相关任务相比，AI模型在视觉和空间任务上表现更吃力。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第三段中“Researchers also showed the chat-bots the Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination “cookie theft” picture, of a boy standing on a bench to steal cookies as his mother washes dishes. “Patients” describe it while analysts assess their speech and language function. All models correctly interpreted parts of the image, the study found, but none expressed concern that the boy was about to fall. This lack of empathy is commonly associated with front-to-temporal dementia, the study authors said. Notably, older models performed worse on the MoCA than newer versions. The authors drew a resemblance (相似点) between “dementia” risk in aging AI and in human brains. (研究人员还给这些聊天机器人展示了波士顿诊断性失语症检查中的“偷饼干”图片，图中一个男孩站在长凳上偷饼干，而他的母亲在洗碗。“患者”要对图片进行描述，同时分析人员会评估他们的言语和语言功能。研究发现，所有模型都能正确解读图片的部分内容，但没有一个模型表达出对男孩可能会摔倒的担忧。研究作者表示，这种缺乏同理心的情况通常与额颞叶痴呆症有关。值得注意的是，较旧的模型在蒙特利尔认知评估中的表现比新版本更差。作者认为，老化的人工智能存在的“痴呆”风险与人类大脑存在相似之处)”可知，研究人员通过分析这些人工智能模型解读图片的能力来进行研究。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是文章开篇提出问题“Does AI have dementia, a serious mental disorder? (人工智能会患上痴呆症这种严重的精神障碍吗？)”、第一段中“Dayan, a cognitive specialist from Hadassah Medical Center and his colleague — Dr. Benjamin, a neurologist, and Gal, a data scientist at London-based Quantum Black Analytics, administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment, or MoCA, to five leadingllMs (ChatGPT-4, ERGPT-40, Claude, Gemini 1 and Gemini1.5). This assesses cognitive impairment (认知缺陷) by giving “patients” a variety of simple tasks. (来自哈达萨医疗中心的认知专家达扬及其同事——神经学家本杰明博士，以及伦敦Quantum Black Analytics公司的数据科学家加尔，对五个主流大型语言模型（ChatGPT-4、ERGPT-40、Claude、Gemini 1和Gemini 1.5）进行了蒙特利尔认知评估（MoCA）。该评估通过给“患者”布置各种简单任务来评估认知障碍)”、最后一段中“In some way, the study was written more “tongue-in-cheek”. Methodologically,llMs should not be examined by methods meant for people. However, the results may spark conversations about the differences between AI and human doctors — and the important roles both can play. (从方法论上讲，大型语言模型不应采用为人类设计的测试方法。然而，研究结果可能会引发关于人工智能与人类医生之间差异以及两者所能发挥重要作用的讨论)”可知，文章先提出一个问题，即“人工智能会患上痴呆症这种严重的精神障碍吗？”，接着描述了对五款主流大语言模型进行蒙特利尔认知评估的研究过程，包括评估的方式和具体任务；最后讨论了研究的结果。所以文章是先提出一个问题，接着描述一项研究，然后讨论研究结果来展开的。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中的“In some way, the study was written more ‘tongue-in-cheek’. Methodologically, llMs should not be examined by methods meant for people. However, the results may spark conversations about the differences between AI and human doctors—and the important roles both can play. (在某种程度上，这项研究更多是以一种玩笑的方式撰写的。在方法论上，不应该用针对人类的方法来检查大型语言模型。然而，研究结果可能会引发关于人工智能和人类医生之间差异的讨论，以及两者可以发挥的重要作用)”可知，作者认为这项研究虽然方法上不完全严谨，但其结果可能引发有意义的讨论，这表明作者对研究结果持中立态度。故选C。 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。 Studying abroad is an enriching experience that many students dream of.

I’ve always loved running, so I was really happy when I found I lived next to Central Park. This meant that every morning I could go running before I went to work. Because a lot of people had told me to be careful of robbers (抢劫犯) in the park, so usually I didn’t take anything with me. How could they rob me if I didn’t have anything? But one morning, my wife gave me 10 dollars and asked me to buy some bread on the way. It was a beautiful morning and the park was quiet with few people walking or jogging around. While I was running through the park, another jogger knocked into (撞到) me. He said sorry to me and continued running. For a while, I didn’t think too much of it. However, when I noticed the wide path where I was running, I thought it was a little strange. The warning of robbers in the park hit me. “It could have been a robber!” I suddenly became anxious, so I checked my pocket and found that the money was missing. Without thinking twice, I ran after that jogger. I finally caught up and held him by the arm. I shouted, “Give me the 10 dollars! Now!” I am not usually a hot-headed (性急的) person, but I got really angry this time. I couldn’t believe the robbery was actually happening to me. Filled with anger, I shook my fist (拳头) at him. This seemed to frighten him. He quickly put his hand in his pocket and gave me 10 dollars. Then he ran away as fast as he could. I bought the bread and went home. As soon as I got home, I couldn’t wait to tell my wife the story. “You won’t believe what happened to me,” I said with pride. She immediately stopped me, “I know, you left the money for the bread on the kitchen table.” Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ But I didn’t give up finding him and for several days, I waited at the same place in the park. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Looking at the money on the table, I stood there, shocked. For the rest of the day, I felt extremely guilty, with the innocent jogger and his “helplessness” on my mind. “How could I be so rude to him without knowing the truth? Why was it that the jogger gave me the money? I still remembered his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster. I decided to find a chance to apologize to him. The next morning, I got up and went to the park as usual, but not for jogging. I just hung around where I had met that jogger, but in vain. But I didn’t give up finding him and for several days, I waited at the same place in the park. But to my disappointment, he didn’t turn up. It was almost a week later before I finally spotted him again. I, the “robber”, gave the $10 bill back to him and said sorry to him again and again. Fortunately, he forgave me for what I had done to him and said, “Oh, it doesn’t matter.” Many years have passed, but I can still feel my cheeks burning with shame. From the experience I have learned that it is too early to judge a person before you know the truth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在去买面包的途中，发现自己的钱不见了，误以为是公园里的一个慢跑者拿的，于是让对方给自己拿了10美元，结果回家发现是自己忘了拿钱。最后作者找到了慢跑者，进行了道歉，归还了10美元。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“看着桌上的钱，我站在那里，惊呆了”可知，第一段可描写作者得知真相感到内疚，决定向慢跑者道歉。 ②由第二段首句内容“但我没有放弃寻找他，几天来，我在公园的同一个地方等着”可知，第二段可描写作者等待慢跑者，最后道歉和归还了10美元。 2.续写线索：震惊——内疚——决心还钱——寻找慢跑者——等待慢跑者——道歉——取得原谅——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize /make an apology to ②出现：turn up/appear ③看见：spot/see/notice 情绪类 ①害怕：frightened /scared/terrified ②失望：disappointment /frustration 【点睛】[高分句型1] I still remembered his frightened face when I scared him away like a monster.
