They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves. Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. “Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn’t do on his own. Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships.” he told CBS News. “My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.” John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say. ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.” 4. What does the term “pilot” refer to in the text? A A driver of a trishaw. B. A group leader. C. A test version of a project. D. A professional airplane operator. 5. What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders? A. They learn more about world history. B. They get paid for their time. C. They form connections with the elderly. D. They improve their cycling skills. 6 Who first started Cycling Without Age? A. Hugh Lyon. B. David Lawrence. C. John Boettner. D. Ole Kassow. 7. Why does John Boettner require passengers to wave during the bike rides? A. To keep them awake. B. To make them exercise. C. To promote the program. D. To signal to other drivers. C When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design. Researchers in Finland have uncovered the surprising evolution (演变) of bird feeder design over the past century. The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders. The study’s results paint a picture of constant innovation in bird feeder design. Early designs were simple, often just flat wooden boards. As bird feeding became more popular, designs became more complex. Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days. Concerns about cats and other predators (捕食者) led to hanging designs and feeders mounted on tall poles In the mid-20th century, there was a shift towards excluding larger birds. Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably. Perhaps the most significant change came in the 1980s, when concerns about salmonella (沙门氏菌) led to a complete rethinking of bird feeder design. New models prevented birds from sitting directly above the food, and materials shifted from wood to more easily cleaned metals and plastics While this study provides a fascinating look at the evolution of bird feeder design, it does have some limitations. The research focuses only on Finland, and practices may have differed in other countries. The study relies on published materials, which may not fully represent all bird feeder designs in use at any given time. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bird feeder design serves as a reminder of the unintended consequences of our interactions with nature. Every attempt to solve one problem — keeping out cats, excluding larger birds, or preventing disease transmission creates new challenges and motivates further innovation. 8. What did the Finnish researchers use to study bird feeder design evolution? A. Internet blog posts. B. Interviews with bird experts. C. Advertisements from bird feeder manufacturers. D. Finnish newspapers and magazines. 9. Why were bird feeders designed with roofs? A. To make them easier to clean. B. To attract a wider variety of birds. C. To prevent larger birds from using them. D. To protect the food from rain and snow. 10. What does the underlined word “excluding” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including. B. Attracting. C. Preventing. D. Protecting. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. The History of Bird Feeding B. The Evolution of Bird Feeder Design C. The Impact of Bird Feeders on Wildlife D. Innovations in Bird Feeding Techniques D We all know someone who never seems to be on time. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 12. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 14. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 15. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C. Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. 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。 Living with a roommate can be a mixed blessing. ____16____.

She is a pet doctor and loves working with pets. As she is warm-hearted and professional, pet owners living in the neighbourhood also love to ask her to treat their pets. One Thursday morning, Christine was hurrying to her job. The traffic on the road was thick — no surprise for this stretch of highway. She pulled into the exit lane(车道), where cars were moving at a slow speed. That was when Christine noticed a woman standing near cars with a dog beside her. Christine saw the cause of the traffic jam: The small dog had somehow gotten out of the car and was now stuck in the metal fences(栅栏)in the middle of the highway. The little dog was obviously frightened in the small space, unable to break free. Despite his owner’s best efforts, he was still struggling. The woman caught the dog’s collar(项圈)but couldn’t move him. Her hands were shaking, and her face was covered with sweat. She was obviously very panicked, not knowing what to do. Some drivers impatiently honked their horns(摁喇叭). Others were too focused on their own schedules to offer assistance. Christine could see the anxiety on the woman’s face as she looked around. Without hesitation, Christine opened the car door. She quickly walked towards the dog. “Let me see if I can help,” Christine said to the woman. The woman was a little hesitant but still walked aside to allow the stranger to have a try. Christine carefully checked on the situation. She found that the dog was scared, but not injured. She spoke gently to the dog, trying to calm him down. Next, she took out a tool carried with her car and tried her best to widen the gap between the fences. The dog seemed to realize that Christine was here to help him, not struggling anymore. In no time, the gap between the fences became larger. There was enough space to move the dog. Christine gently lifted him out, taking great care not to hurt him. 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。 The woman stepped forward and carefully held her dog. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Christine arrived at her office, expecting to see the woman again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年度高二下学期期中联考试卷 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：北师大版选择性必修第四册。 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.

They get paired up by Cycling Without Age, an organization that helps seniors go for bike rides, even if they can’t pedal themselves. Hugh Lyon and David Lawrence, who are roughly 20 years apart in age, have been riding together for years. The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides. They go for rides about once a week often discussing the history of their town. “Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.” The pair have formed a friendship outside of cycling. Lawrence said he called Lyon often and went to the gym with him to help him with exercises he couldn’t do on his own. Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program. “The truly powerful thing about these bike rides is that they tie people and stories together to create new relationships.” he told CBS News. “My friendships and the ability to form new relationships at any age are what define a good life, and often also a long and happy life.” John Boettner started the Santa Barbara chapter. He has one rule for passengers. “They say, ‘What does it cost if I’m going to go for a ride?’ I say. ‘Here’s what it costs: You have to wave. If you don’t wave, I’m going to kick you out,’” he joked. He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.” 4. What does the term “pilot” refer to in the text? A. A driver of a trishaw. B. A group leader. C. A test version of a project. D. A professional airplane operator. 5. What is the main benefit of the bike rides for the younger riders? A. They learn more about world history. B. They get paid for their time. C. They form connections with the elderly. D. They improve their cycling skills. 6. Who first started Cycling Without Age? A. Hugh Lyon. B. David Lawrence. C. John Boettner. D. Ole Kassow. 7. Why does John Boettner require passengers to wave during the bike rides? A. To keep them awake. B. To make them exercise. C. To promote the program. D. To signal to other drivers. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了“无龄骑行”组织让年轻人陪老人骑行并建立友谊的故事。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“The 56-year-old Lawrence serves as a “pilot”, driving the trishaw — a bike with a passenger scat in the front that Cycling Without Age uses for their rides.(56 岁的劳伦斯担任“pilot”，驾驶着三轮车 —— 一种前面有乘客座位的自行车，“无龄骑行”组织用它来骑行)” 可知，“pilot”指的是三轮车的驾驶者。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段““Despite my departed parents, it gives me a connection with people from an older generation.” said Lawrence. “And I enjoy spending time with them and hearing their stories.”(“尽管我的父母已经去世，但这让我与老一辈人建立了联系。” 劳伦斯说。“而且我喜欢和他们在一起，听他们讲故事。”)”可知，骑行对年轻骑手的主要好处是他们与老年人建立了联系。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Ole Kassow, who founded Cycling Without Age, said that’s the power of the program.(“无龄骑行”组织的创始人奥莱・卡索说，这就是这个项目的力量)”可知，最先创立“无龄骑行”组织的是Ole Kassow。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“He said he liked when they hit red lights, because it gave them a chance to connect with people on the road. “Driving the trishaw is the best advertisement for Cycling Without Age”, Boettner said. “When you take a 101-year-old woman for a bike ride and she holds your hand tight and says thank you and gives you a kiss on the cheek, it doesn’t get any better than that.”(他说他喜欢遇到红灯的时候，因为这给了他们一个与路上的人交流的机会。“驾驶三轮车是无龄骑行最好的广告，”博特纳说。“当你带着一位101岁的老太太去骑自行车，她紧紧握住你的手，说谢谢你，然后在你的脸颊上亲一下，没有比这更好的了。”)”可知，约翰・博特纳要求乘客在骑行时挥手是为了推广这个项目。故选C。 C When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design. Researchers in Finland have uncovered the surprising evolution (演变) of bird feeder design over the past century. The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders. The study’s results paint a picture of constant innovation in bird feeder design. Early designs were simple, often just flat wooden boards. As bird feeding became more popular, designs became more complex. Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days. Concerns about cats and other predators (捕食者) led to hanging designs and feeders mounted on tall poles In the mid-20th century, there was a shift towards excluding larger birds. Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably. Perhaps the most significant change came in the 1980s, when concerns about salmonella (沙门氏菌) led to a complete rethinking of bird feeder design. New models prevented birds from sitting directly above the food, and materials shifted from wood to more easily cleaned metals and plastics While this study provides a fascinating look at the evolution of bird feeder design, it does have some limitations. The research focuses only on Finland, and practices may have differed in other countries. The study relies on published materials, which may not fully represent all bird feeder designs in use at any given time. This study demonstrated that the evolution of bird feeder design serves as a reminder of the unintended consequences of our interactions with nature. Every attempt to solve one problem — keeping out cats, excluding larger birds, or preventing disease transmission creates new challenges and motivates further innovation. 8. What did the Finnish researchers use to study bird feeder design evolution? A. Internet blog posts. B. Interviews with bird experts. C. Advertisements from bird feeder manufacturers. D. Finnish newspapers and magazines. 9. Why were bird feeders designed with roofs? A. To make them easier to clean. B. To attract a wider variety of birds. C. To prevent larger birds from using them. D. To protect the food from rain and snow. 10. What does the underlined word “excluding” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Including. B. Attracting. C. Preventing. D. Protecting. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A The History of Bird Feeding B. The Evolution of Bird Feeder Design C. The Impact of Bird Feeders on Wildlife D. Innovations in Bird Feeding Techniques 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了芬兰研究人员通过研究当地报纸杂志揭示了鸟食器设计在过去一个世纪的演变过程。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The team examined Finnish newspapers and magazines from the late 19th century to the late 20th century, analyzing all content related to bird feeders.(该团队研究了从19世纪末到20世纪末的芬兰报纸和杂志，分析了所有与喂鸟器相关的内容)”可知，芬兰研究人员使用芬兰报纸和杂志来研究鸟食器设计演变。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Roofs were added to provide protection for food during rain and snow days.(增加了屋顶，以便在雨雪天为食物提供保护)”可知，鸟食器设计有屋顶是为了保护食物不受雨雪侵袭。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句后文“Designs featured smaller openings or were made to be too small for larger birds to use comfortably.(设计的特点是开口较小，或者太小，大鸟无法舒适地使用)”可知，设计的特点是开口较小，或者太小，大鸟无法舒适地使用，说明是为了防止大鸟进入，故划线词意思是“防止”，与Preventing意思相近。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“When you set up a bird feeder in your yard, you might think you’re simply providing a meal for your feathered friends. But a fascinating new study reveals that these seemingly simple devices have a complex history of design.(当你在院子里安装一个喂鸟器时，你可能认为自己只是在为你的鸟类朋友提供一顿饭。但一项有趣的新研究表明，这些看似简单的设备有着复杂的设计历史)”结合文章主要说明了芬兰研究人员通过研究当地报纸杂志揭示了鸟食器设计在过去一个世纪的演变过程。可知，B选项“鸟食器设计的演变”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D We all know someone who never seems to be on time. But is there a good explanation for why some people are always late? The habit of being late probably results from a number of factors, including time perception (知觉), time management and personality, experts say. “It is likely that there’s a mechanism in the brain that causes some people to be late for meetings because they underestimate the time it will take them to get there,” said Hugo Spiers, a professor of cognitive neuroscience at University College London. “The hippocampus (海马体) is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. Neurons in the hippocampus acting as “time cells” contribute to our perception and memory of events, but why exactly some people always underestimate time is unclear. One factor may be how familiar we are with space. For the 2017 study, Spiers asked 20 students who had newly moved to London to sketch a map of their college district and estimate travel time to different destinations. While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. “If you’re very familiar with a space, you start to discount the trouble it will take.” Spiers said. Another environmental factor may be crowdedness. In a 2022 study, researchers asked participants to estimate the length of more or less crowded simulated subway trips. They found that crowded commutes felt like they took 10% longer than less busy rides. Personality also plays a role in running late. Certain personality traits, such as reduced conscientiousness (责任), can cause some people to forget tasks that they had planned ahead of time. Another factor that may influence a person’s timeliness is his or her tendency to multitask. Research has shown that people who multitask are less likely to remember and complete other scheduled tasks on time. 12. What role does the hippocampus play according to the text? A. It processes time-related memory. B. It measures distance accurately. C. It helps with multitasking abilities. D. It predicts future events with precision. 13. What is the fourth paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of a college district. B. A study on the adaptation of new students. C. The effect of familiarity with space on time estimation. D. The influence of environmental factors on travel time. 14. Which of the following factors is least likely to be related to being late according to the text? A. Familiarity with space. B. The brain’s perception of time. C. The speed of a person’s walking. D. The crowdedness of public transportation. 15. In which section of a website can we probably read the text? A. Health Culture. B. Entertainment News. C. Education and Learning. D. Lifestyle and Psychology. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要探讨从大脑机制、空间熟悉度、环境拥挤度和人格特质等多个角度，科学分析了导致人们迟到行为的各种因素。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句““The hippocampus is a region of the brain which processes some aspects of time, such as remembering when to do something and how long it takes,” Spiers said. (Spiers说：“海马体是大脑中处理与时间有关的方面的区域，比如记住什么时候该做什么事情以及需要多长时间。)”可知，海马体的功能是处理与时间相关的记忆。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。第四段主要描述了一项关于空间熟悉度对时间估计影响的研究。根据第四段第三句“While the students’ space estimates expanded if they knew an area well, their estimates of travel time reduced with familiarity. (当学生们对一个区域很熟悉时，他们对空间的估计会扩大，但对旅行时间的估计会随着熟悉度的增加而减少。)可知，本段重点讨论空间熟悉度如何影响时间估计。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。全文共六段，第一段是总起段，后面泽讨论了导致迟到的多个因素，包括：海马体对时间的处理（第二、三段）、空间熟悉度（第四段）、环境拥挤度（第五段）和人格特质（第六段）。唯独没有提到“步行速度”这个因素。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。全文从心理学和神经科学的角度分析了迟到的原因，属于生活心理学的范畴。根据最后一段第一句“Personality also plays a role in running late. (人格特质也会影响迟到行为。)等心理学相关论述可知，最可能读到该文的应是某网站上“生活方式与心理学”这一栏目。故选D项。 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。 Living with a roommate can be a mixed blessing. ____16____.

She is a pet doctor and loves working with pets. As she is warm-hearted and professional, pet owners living in the neighbourhood also love to ask her to treat their pets. One Thursday morning, Christine was hurrying to her job. The traffic on the road was thick — no surprise for this stretch of highway. She pulled into the exit lane(车道), where cars were moving at a slow speed. That was when Christine noticed a woman standing near cars with a dog beside her. Christine saw the cause of the traffic jam: The small dog had somehow gotten out of the car and was now stuck in the metal fences(栅栏)in the middle of the highway. The little dog was obviously frightened in the small space, unable to break free. Despite his owner’s best efforts, he was still struggling. The woman caught the dog’s collar(项圈)but couldn’t move him. Her hands were shaking, and her face was covered with sweat. She was obviously very panicked, not knowing what to do. Some drivers impatiently honked their horns(摁喇叭). Others were too focused on their own schedules to offer assistance. Christine could see the anxiety on the woman’s face as she looked around. Without hesitation, Christine opened the car door. She quickly walked towards the dog. “Let me see if I can help,” Christine said to the woman. The woman was a little hesitant but still walked aside to allow the stranger to have a try. Christine carefully checked on the situation. She found that the dog was scared, but not injured. She spoke gently to the dog, trying to calm him down. Next, she took out a tool carried with her car and tried her best to widen the gap between the fences. The dog seemed to realize that Christine was here to help him, not struggling anymore. In no time, the gap between the fences became larger. There was enough space to move the dog. Christine gently lifted him out, taking great care not to hurt him. 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。 The woman stepped forward and carefully held her dog. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Christine arrived at her office, expecting to see the woman again. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The woman stepped forward and carefully held her dog. She thanked Christine heartily for what she had done, with tears rolling down her cheeks. She said that without Christine’s generous help, everything would have been much worse. Christine introduced herself, and gave the woman her business card, saying she could take the dog to her pet hospital for a checkup if she still felt worried. The woman took the card and walked to her car. After the woman’s car moved away, the traffic quickly returned to normal. Christine arrived at her office, expecting to see the woman again. In the afternoon, she saw the woman walking into the hospital with the dog and a bouquet of flowers as her gift. The woman told Christine that the dog was important to her, hoping everything would be OK with her dog. After a thorough examination of the dog, Christine told the woman the dog was fine. Hearing Christine’s words, the woman felt grateful and totally relieved. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了在宠物医院工作十年的宠物医生克里斯汀・道恩・金，在一个周四上午上班途中，遇到一只小狗卡在高速公路中间的金属栅栏里，狗主人无力施救、焦急万分，周围司机要么不耐烦摁喇叭，要么不愿帮忙。克里斯汀毫不犹豫下车，利用车上工具扩大栅栏间隙，成功救出受惊却未受伤的小狗 ，展现了她热心助人的品质。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那位女士走上前，小心翼翼地抱住她的狗。”可知，第一段可描写女士表示感谢，克里斯汀递上名片叮嘱可以带小狗做检查。 ②由第二段首句内容“克里斯汀到了自己的办公室，期待着能再次见到那位女士。”可知，第二段可描写女士带着小狗找克里斯汀检查，确定不无大碍后松了一口气。 2.续写线索：表示感谢——递上名片——带小狗检查——确定并无大碍——松了一口气 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①给某人某物：give sb sth/offer sb sth ②看见：see/notice ③告诉：tell/inform 情绪类 ①感激的：grateful/appreciative ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1]Christine introduced herself, and gave the woman her business card, saying she could take the dog to her pet hospital for a checkup if she still felt worried.（运用了现在分词作状语，省略了that的宾语从句，if引导条件状语从句） [高分句型2] The woman told Christine that the dog was important to her, hoping everything would be OK with her dog. （运用了that引导的宾语从句和现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
