Despite their size, they are very mobile and can run up to 30 mph and jump up to six feet vertically. In1902, America’s wild bison had decreased to only two dozen due to extensive hunting. Conservation efforts increased the Yellowstone bison population to 4,800 in 2023. See them in Hayden, Lamar and Pelican valleys. Gray Wolf Gray wolves had gone extinct in Yellowstone until 14 were reintroduced in 1995.Today, approximately 108 wolves live here. These social animals live in groups and can be gray, white or black. They hunt elk, deer and bison near dawn and dusk thanks to their excellent night vision. For your best chance of seeing them, head to Lamar or Hayden valleys or Blacktail Deer Plateau in the early morning. Elk Up to 20,000 elk in Yellowstone, but most move to lower elevations in the winter months. Elk are a large member of the deer family and can be identified by their size and white rumps. Mating season, known as “the rut”, occurs each fall when male elk fight with each other for females. It’s characterized by their haunting bugling sound. In the summer, see them in Cascade Meadows, Madison Canyon and Lamar Valley. Grizzly Bear One of two species of bears in Yellowstone, grizzlies are big. They can weigh up to 700 pounds and have a distinctive hump between their shoulders. Grizzlies are omnivores and will eat bugs, plants, fish and mammals. Approximately 150live in Yellowstone and if you’re lucky, you may spot them in the Hayden and Lamar valleys, north of Mount Washington and between Fishing Bridge and the East Entrance. 1.

Where are you most likely to find all the four in Yellowstone? A. Lamar Valley. B. Madison Canyon. C. Hayden Valley. D. Pelican Valley. B Colin Farrell has completed the Dublin Marathon by pushing his friend in a wheelchair across the finish line. The 48-year-old actor ran the final 4 kilometers of the 42 km race while pushing his friend Emma Fogarty, who lives with a rare skin condition, to the end of the race. Back home in his native Ireland, Farrell ran the marathon to raise money for DEBRA, an Irish charity supporting people who, like Fogarty, have the incurable genetic condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB) — also known as butterfly skin. Emma Fogarty was born with a severe form of the condition, as she was born with no skin on her left foot and right arm and can develop very painful swelling from even the slightest touch. But now, Fogarty is Ireland's oldest surviving person with the condition, and after reaching a milestone of turning 40 in June, she and Farrell decided to complete the race together. "I have known Emma for many years. She is what courage and pure determination are all about. That run was nothing compared to the pain she is forced to undergo every single day, even though she doesn't show it. It was an honour to see her waiting for me with 4 km to go, each of those representing a decade of her life, and to do the final stretch together. I'll never forget it." said Farrell. Fogarty and Farrell originally set out to raise €400,000 ($660,000 AUD) for the charity but now aim to hit the million-euro mark ($1.6 million AUD), after the pair completed the marathon in just over four hours. 4. What is the purpose of the DEBRA? A. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B. To encourage people to run a marathon. C. To support people with an incurable skin disease. D. To help the disabled people to make more friends. 5. What inspired Fogarty and Farrell to complete the race together? A. Farrell's desire to get popular online. B. Fogarty's strong interest in running. C. The advice to improve Fogarty's fitness. D. Fogarty's reaching a milestone of turning 40. 6. What does the underlined word "undergo" in the fourth paragraph probably mean? A. Avoid. B. Bear. C. Cherish. D. Escape. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The fundraising event received great response. B. They will race together again in the near future. C. The money raised is far below their expectation. D. They completed the marathon within four hours. C Are athletes nearing the limits of what’s possible? Are they struggling to break records? The hammer throw (链球), for example, hasn’t seen a new world record since 1986. Yet, athletes frequently outdo themselves in other sports, such as the 400-metre sprint. Although professional athletes often boast impressive muscles, simply increasing muscle mass does not guarantee improved athletic performance. This is partly because muscles lose efficiency as they grow. More muscle mass produces extra force, but the benefits decrease as muscle mass continues to grow and muscles will eventually approach a hard limit on what they can achieve. An athlete’s dominant muscle fibre type also significantly impacts performance. Sprinters (短跑运动员) have a high concentration of fast-twitch fibers (快肌纤维) in contrast to marathon runners, who have a high concentration of slow-twitch fibers. Fast-twitch fibers are richer in energy stores, produce more powerful movements and tire us out more quickly than the slow-twitch variety. This difference sets a speed limit on high-endurance sports like long-distance running. Muscles set a ceiling on how hard athletes can work, but performance also depends on what athletes do with their muscles. In the 1968 Olympics, Dick Fosbury used an innovative strategy for the high jump that raised the bar. Instead of soaring forward over the pole, he turned his body mid-flight. The backward jump enabled him to leap over the pole with less effort. Five years later, Dwight Stones perfected the “Fosbury Flop” and broke the high-jump world record using this method. Technological advancements in sportswear also significantly boost performance. Shoes equipped with carbon-plated insoles (碳板鞋垫) can give runners an advantage. This type of footwear limits energy loss, meaning the runner has to put in less work to run faster. World Athletics allows athletes to compete with these shoes as long as the soft base is no higher than about 4 centimeters, so it’s possible that this sportswear could lead to new running records. Ultimately, while muscle limitations exist, innovative techniques and advancements in sportswear continue to redefine athletic potential, suggesting that records, even seemingly unbeatable ones, may yet be defeated. 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By listing different sports events directly. B. By raising questions on athletes’ concerns. C. By emphasizing the efficiency of muscle mass. D. By analyzing the limits of athletic performance. 9. What can be learned about the muscle fibre types according to paragraph 3? A. Fast-twitch fibers are ideal for Marathon runners. B. The muscle fibre type only has a small impact on performance. C. Slow-twitch fibers are more powerful and tire us more quickly. D. Sprinters possess more fast-twitch fibers than marathon runners. 10. Why does the author mention the “Fosbury Flop”? A. To praise Stones’ breaking the world record. B. To reveal limitations in high-jump. C To prove the role of creative techniques. D. To illustrate the physical peak in athletes. 11. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Only specific sports can see new records. B. Muscle mass guarantees athletic performance. C. Muscle limitations make new records impossible. D. Records may be broken with innovation and technology. D Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes down to three factors: the coherence of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider. Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may further improve how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen. To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants. Initially, we had participants rate their coping strategies to ease their stress. Those managing stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the follow-ups, we asked them to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and other statements related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the experiment that followed, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring video. They also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments, compared with those watching more neutral videos. The final results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented (任务驱动的) lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to make the most of our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday. After all, we live in a wonderful world. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. 12. Why does the author mention the admiration of a butterfly? A. To describe a picture. B. To raise a question. C. To introduce a concept. D. To draw a conclusion. 13. What is mainly explored in the studies according to Paragraph 3? A. The theory of experiential appreciation. B. The analysis of the belief that matters most. C. The importance of a long-term goal in life. D. The life of the participants involved. 14 What makes it hard for us to appreciate the present? A. The lack of opportunities. B Our modern fast-paced lifestyle. C. Our focus on individual feelings. D. The ignorance of future outcomes. 15. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. Find the inner beauty of ourselves. B. Explore the end of a significant life. C. Fill every day with a great many targets. D. Appreciate little wonders of everyday life. 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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 It's natural to compare yourself to others, and even envy them, if you hop on your social media for a few minutes.

Harrison Bentzen, a student at the University of Central Lancashire, had been working on her final exam in the library and was ready to go back home for a good sleep. As she reached the bus stop, she found her bank card was missing. She searched her bag, only to find she was out of cash. It was still dark and rather cold. Her home was 20 miles away and it was impossible for her to walk home. Tired and cold, she had no idea how she was going back home. At that time, a nearby homeless old man noticed what happened to her and was concerned for her safety. He approached Harrison with $3 in his hand, “Miss, this is all I’ve got. Take it! Get a cab!” Harrison was deeply moved. She was deeply grateful for his kindness, but she would not accept the homeless man’s last bit of money. Harrison declined the offer, but his act of kindness stayed in her mind and heart the following weeks, and finally she decided to try and find him again so that she could somehow repay his kindness. While searching, she learned that the old man’s name was Robbie and he was always kind to people around. The more people she spoke with, the more good deeds she learned about him, such as returning wallets untouched to pedestrians. Harrison eventually found the man and was able to thank him, and she also learned about his situation. He had been homeless for 7 months and needed to get back on his feet but could not get work due to his old age. She decided to help him get off the streets and into a flat. 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。 Harrison shared the story online and launched a donation to help Robbie. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The funds really took Robbie by surprise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 参照秘密级管理★启用前 试卷类型：A 2024~2025学年度高二年级第二学期期中质量检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The 48-year-old actor ran the final 4 kilometers of the 42 km race while pushing his friend Emma Fogarty, who lives with a rare skin condition, to the end of the race. Back home in his native Ireland, Farrell ran the marathon to raise money for DEBRA, an Irish charity supporting people who, like Fogarty, have the incurable genetic condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB) — also known as butterfly skin. Emma Fogarty was born with a severe form of the condition, as she was born with no skin on her left foot and right arm and can develop very painful swelling from even the slightest touch. But now, Fogarty is Ireland's oldest surviving person with the condition, and after reaching a milestone of turning 40 in June, she and Farrell decided to complete the race together. "I have known Emma for many years. She is what courage and pure determination are all about. That run was nothing compared to the pain she is forced to undergo every single day, even though she doesn't show it. It was an honour to see her waiting for me with 4 km to go, each of those representing a decade of her life, and to do the final stretch together. I'll never forget it." said Farrell. Fogarty and Farrell originally set out to raise €400,000 ($660,000 AUD) for the charity but now aim to hit the million-euro mark ($1.6 million AUD), after the pair completed the marathon in just over four hours. 4. What is the purpose of the DEBRA? A. To promote a healthy lifestyle. B. To encourage people to run a marathon. C. To support people with an incurable skin disease. D. To help the disabled people to make more friends. 5. What inspired Fogarty and Farrell to complete the race together? A. Farrell's desire to get popular online. B. Fogarty's strong interest in running. C. The advice to improve Fogarty's fitness. D. Fogarty's reaching a milestone of turning 40. 6. What does the underlined word "undergo" in the fourth paragraph probably mean? A. Avoid. B. Bear. C. Cherish. D. Escape. 7. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. The fundraising event received great response. B. They will race together again in the near future. C. The money raised is far below their expectation. D. They completed the marathon within four hours. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了演员科林・法瑞尔推着患有罕见皮肤病的朋友艾玛・福加蒂完成都柏林马拉松比赛，为爱尔兰慈善机构DEBRA筹款的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Back home in his native Ireland, Farrell ran the marathon to raise money for DEBRA, an Irish charity supporting people who, like Fogarty, have the incurable genetic condition epidermolysis bullosa (EB) — also known as butterfly skin. (回到家乡爱尔兰后，法雷尔参加马拉松比赛，为爱尔兰慈善机构DEBRA筹款。该机构为像福格蒂一样患有遗传性不治之症大疱性表皮松解症（EB）的人提供支持，这种病也被称为“蝴蝶宝贝病”。)”可知，DEBRA是一个支持像福加蒂这样患有无法治愈的遗传性大疱性表皮松解症的人的爱尔兰慈善机构，即该机构的目的是支持患有无法治愈的皮肤病的人。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句“But now, Fogarty is Ireland's oldest surviving person with the condition, and after reaching a milestone of turning 40 in June, she and Farrell decided to complete the race together. (但如今，福格蒂是爱尔兰患有这种疾病的在世者中年纪最大的。在6月迎来40岁生日这一里程碑后，她和法雷尔决定一同完成这场赛跑。)”可知，是福加蒂40岁这一里程碑激励了他们一起完成比赛。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段第一句“Emma Fogarty was born with a severe form of the condition, as she was born with no skin on her left foot and right arm and can develop very painful swelling from even the slightest touch. (艾玛・福格蒂生来就患有严重这种疾病，她出生时左脚和右臂没有皮肤，即使是最轻微的触碰也会引发非常疼痛的肿胀。)”可知，此处说的是法瑞尔认为这次跑步与她每天被迫承受的痛苦相比算不了什么，“undergo”意思是“承受，忍受”，与“bear”意思相近。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fogarty and Farrell originally set out to raise €400,000 ($660,000 AUD) for the charity but now aim to hit the million-euro mark ($1.6 million AUD), after the pair completed the marathon in just over four hours. (福格蒂和法雷尔最初打算为该慈善机构筹集40万欧元（66万澳元），但在两人仅用四个多小时完成马拉松比赛后，他们现在的目标是达到100万欧元（160万澳元）。)”可推知，这次筹款活动得到了很大的反响，人们捐款积极，使得他们提高了筹款目标。故选A项。 C Are athletes nearing the limits of what’s possible? Are they struggling to break records? The hammer throw (链球), for example, hasn’t seen a new world record since 1986. Yet, athletes frequently outdo themselves in other sports, such as the 400-metre sprint. Although professional athletes often boast impressive muscles, simply increasing muscle mass does not guarantee improved athletic performance. This is partly because muscles lose efficiency as they grow. More muscle mass produces extra force, but the benefits decrease as muscle mass continues to grow and muscles will eventually approach a hard limit on what they can achieve. An athlete’s dominant muscle fibre type also significantly impacts performance. Sprinters (短跑运动员) have a high concentration of fast-twitch fibers (快肌纤维) in contrast to marathon runners, who have a high concentration of slow-twitch fibers. Fast-twitch fibers are richer in energy stores, produce more powerful movements and tire us out more quickly than the slow-twitch variety. This difference sets a speed limit on high-endurance sports like long-distance running. Muscles set a ceiling on how hard athletes can work, but performance also depends on what athletes do with their muscles. In the 1968 Olympics, Dick Fosbury used an innovative strategy for the high jump that raised the bar. Instead of soaring forward over the pole, he turned his body mid-flight. The backward jump enabled him to leap over the pole with less effort. Five years later, Dwight Stones perfected the “Fosbury Flop” and broke the high-jump world record using this method. Technological advancements in sportswear also significantly boost performance. Shoes equipped with carbon-plated insoles (碳板鞋垫) can give runners an advantage. This type of footwear limits energy loss, meaning the runner has to put in less work to run faster. World Athletics allows athletes to compete with these shoes as long as the soft base is no higher than about 4 centimeters, so it’s possible that this sportswear could lead to new running records. Ultimately, while muscle limitations exist, innovative techniques and advancements in sportswear continue to redefine athletic potential, suggesting that records, even seemingly unbeatable ones, may yet be defeated. 8. How does the writer introduce the topic? A. By listing different sports events directly. B. By raising questions on athletes’ concerns. C. By emphasizing the efficiency of muscle mass. D. By analyzing the limits of athletic performance. 9. What can be learned about the muscle fibre types according to paragraph 3? A. Fast-twitch fibers are ideal for Marathon runners. B. The muscle fibre type only has a small impact on performance. C. Slow-twitch fibers are more powerful and tire us more quickly. D. Sprinters possess more fast-twitch fibers than marathon runners. 10. Why does the author mention the “Fosbury Flop”? A. To praise Stones’ breaking the world record. B. To reveal limitations in high-jump. C. To prove the role of creative techniques. D. To illustrate the physical peak in athletes. 11. What does the text mainly tell us? A. Only specific sports can see new records. B. Muscle mass guarantees athletic performance. C. Muscle limitations make new records impossible. D. Records may be broken with innovation and technology. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讨论了运动员是否接近了运动表现的极限，并探讨了影响运动员成绩的因素，包括肌肉质量、肌肉纤维类型、运动技术和运动装备。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Are athletes nearing the limits of what’s possible? Are they struggling to break records? The hammer throw (链球), for example, hasn’t seen a new world record since 1986. Yet, athletes frequently outdo themselves in other sports, such as the 400-metre sprint.(运动员是否接近了可能的极限？他们是否在努力打破纪录？例如，链球自1986年以来就没有出现过新的世界纪录。然而，运动员在其他运动项目中经常超越自己，比如400米短跑)”结合下文对影响运动员表现的因素的讨论可知，作者通过提出运动员关心的问题来引入话题。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sprinters (短跑运动员) have a high concentration of fast-twitch fibers (快肌纤维) in contrast to marathon runners, who have a high concentration of slow-twitch fibers.(与马拉松运动员相比，短跑运动员的快肌纤维浓度很高，而马拉松运动员的慢肌纤维浓度很高)”可知，短跑运动员比马拉松运动员拥有更多的快肌纤维。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In the 1968 Olympics, Dick Fosbury used an innovative strategy for the high jump that raised the bar. Instead of soaring forward over the pole, he turned his body mid-flight. The backward jump enabled him to leap over the pole with less effort. Five years later, Dwight Stones perfected the “Fosbury Flop” and broke the high-jump world record using this method.(在1968年的奥运会上，迪克·福斯伯里采用了一种创新的跳高策略，提高了跳高难度。他没有向前飞越横杆，而是在飞行过程中转身。向后跳跃使他能够毫不费力地跳过横杆。五年后，德怀特·斯通斯完善了“福斯伯里跳法”，并利用这种方法打破了跳高世界纪录)”可知，作者提到“Fosbury Flop”是为了证明创造性技术在运动表现中的重要作用。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合倒数第三段提出创新技术提高运动表现，以及第四段提到创新的运动服装也可以提高运动表现，再根据最后一段“Ultimately, while muscle limitations exist, innovative techniques and advancements in sportswear continue to redefine athletic potential, suggesting that records, even seemingly unbeatable ones, may yet be defeated.(最终，虽然肌肉存在局限性，但创新的技术和运动服装的进步继续重新定义着运动员的潜力，这表明纪录，即使是看似不可战胜的纪录，也可能被打破)”可知，这篇文章主要告诉我们通过创新和技术，纪录可能会被打破。故选D。 D Many scholars agree that a meaningful existence comes down to three factors: the coherence of one’s life, the possession of clear long-term goals and the belief that one’s life matters. But we believe there is another element to consider. Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may further improve how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life’s inner beauty as events happen. To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants. Initially, we had participants rate their coping strategies to ease their stress. Those managing stress by focusing on their appreciation for life’s beauty reported experiencing life as highly meaningful. In the follow-ups, we asked them to rate the degree to which they agreed with various statements, such as “I have a great appreciation for the beauty of life” and other statements related to coherence, purpose, existential mattering. Our results showed that the more people indicated that they were “appreciating life”, the more they felt their existence valuable. In the experiment that followed, we further explored the phenomenon by asking participants to watch an awe-inspiring video. They also reported having a greater sense of experiential appreciation and meaning in life in these moments, compared with those watching more neutral videos. The final results confirmed our original theory: appreciating small things can make life feel more meaningful. But applying that insight can be difficult. Our modern, fast-paced, project-oriented (任务驱动的) lifestyles fill the day with targets. We are on the go, attempting to make the most of our output. This makes it easy to miss what is happening right now. Yet life happens in the present moment. We should slow down, let life surprise us and embrace the significance in the everyday. After all, we live in a wonderful world. There is no end to the adventures we can have if only we seek them with our eyes open. 12. Why does the author mention the admiration of a butterfly? A. To describe a picture. B. To raise a question. C. To introduce a concept. D. To draw a conclusion. 13. What is mainly explored in the studies according to Paragraph 3? A. The theory of experiential appreciation. B. The analysis of the belief that matters most. C. The importance of a long-term goal in life. D. The life of the participants involved. 14. What makes it hard for us to appreciate the present? A. The lack of opportunities. B. Our modern fast-paced lifestyle. C. Our focus on individual feelings. D The ignorance of future outcomes. 15. Which of the following will the author probably agree with? A. Find the inner beauty of ourselves. B. Explore the end of a significant life. C. Fill every day with a great many targets. D. Appreciate little wonders of everyday life. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了体验性欣赏这一概念，即能够发现并欣赏生活中的内在美，并介绍了相关的实验研究。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Imagine the first butterfly you stop to admire after a long winter or the scenery atop a hill after a fresh hike. Sometimes existence delivers us small moments of beauty. When people are open to appreciating such experiences, these moments may further improve how they view their life. We call this element experiential appreciation, an ability to detect and admire life's inner beauty as events happen.(想象一下，在漫长的冬天之后，你第一次停下来欣赏一只蝴蝶，或者在一次新鲜的徒步旅行之后，你站在山顶欣赏风景。有时，生活会带给我们一些小小的美好时刻。当人们愿意欣赏这样的经历时，这些时刻可能会进一步提升他们对生活的看法。我们称这种元素为体验性欣赏，即在事件发生时发现和欣赏生活内在美的能力。)”可知，作者提到对蝴蝶的欣赏是为了介绍体验性欣赏这一概念。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To better understand this appreciation, we conducted a series of studies involving over 3,000 participants.

Harrison Bentzen, a student at the University of Central Lancashire, had been working on her final exam in the library and was ready to go back home for a good sleep. As she reached the bus stop, she found her bank card was missing. She searched her bag, only to find she was out of cash. It was still dark and rather cold. Her home was 20 miles away and it was impossible for her to walk home. Tired and cold, she had no idea how she was going back home. At that time, a nearby homeless old man noticed what happened to her and was concerned for her safety. He approached Harrison with $3 in his hand, “Miss, this is all I’ve got. Take it! Get a cab!” Harrison was deeply moved. She was deeply grateful for his kindness, but she would not accept the homeless man’s last bit of money. Harrison declined the offer, but his act of kindness stayed in her mind and heart the following weeks, and finally she decided to try and find him again so that she could somehow repay his kindness. While searching, she learned that the old man’s name was Robbie and he was always kind to people around. The more people she spoke with, the more good deeds she learned about him, such as returning wallets untouched to pedestrians. Harrison eventually found the man and was able to thank him, and she also learned about his situation. He had been homeless for 7 months and needed to get back on his feet but could not get work due to his old age. She decided to help him get off the streets and into a flat. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Harrison shared the story online and launched a donation to help Robbie _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The funds really took Robbie by surprise. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: She shared the story online and launched a donation to help Robbie. With the story going viral online, a large number of people were touched by how kind Robbie had been to Harrison. Donation started to pour in and the funds were increasing day by day. A hotel manager even called Harrison, offering free accommodation for Robbie. Harrison was excited about people’s positive response, which was beyond her expectation. Within days, she ended up raising far enough money to pay for a flat. Harrison couldn’t wait to give Robbie the funds. The donation really took Robbie by surprise. Moved to tears, he thanked Harrison for what she had done for him but refused to accept funds, saying that he had never expected anything in return. Harrison told Robbie it was his act of kindness that brought out the best of people and he deserved it. Hearing that, Robbie decided to give the money to a charity which could provide him with housing and then could use the excess funds to help other homeless people in their community who were in his same situation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。12月4日清晨，中央兰开夏大学学生哈里森在图书馆考完试后准备回家，在公交站发现银行卡丢失且没现金，无法回家。附近无家可归的老人罗比想给她3美元打车，她没接受。后来她找到罗比并决定帮他找公寓。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“她在网上分享了这个故事，并发起了一场帮助罗比的捐款活动”可知，第一段可以描写捐款活动持续发酵，更多人关注到罗比，社会各界人士纷纷以不同方式表达支持，以及哈里森面对热情支持的感受与行动。 ②由第二段句首内容“这笔捐款真的让罗比大吃一惊”可知，第二段可以描写罗比拒绝接受捐款的坚定态度，他阐述自己的想法，哈里森被其精神打动，两人共同见证善款助力慈善机构为更多无家可归者带去希望，升华善意传递的力量。 2.续写线索：哈里森发起捐款 —— 故事引关注捐款增加 —— 各界支援 —— 罗比拒绝捐款表明心意 —— 善款助力慈善机构 —— 善意传递温暖社会 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提供住宿：offer accommodation/provide lodging ②筹集资金：raise money/gather funds ③拒绝：refuse/reject 情绪类 ①被感动：be touched/be moved ②兴奋的：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】Harrison was excited about people’s positive response, which was beyond her expectation.
