One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 24. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 25. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 26. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. C A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research. The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago. Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ” The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries. Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said. 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How firebrick storage technology works. B. How firebricks are produced sustainably. C. What thermal energy means scientifically. D. What thermal energy storage is used to do. 29. What advantages do firebrick have over battery? A. Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B. Firebrick can generate more electricity. C. Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D. Firebrick is made of more advanced materials. 30. Why are the computer models adopted? A. To test the durability of firebricks. B. To cut the costs of firebricks. C. To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D. To test energy storage capacity of firebricks. 31. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The usage of firebricks can replace batteries. B. Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible. C. Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply. D. An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy. D Poetry and science seem like opposites. Yet, if we look through our history, we’ll see that navigating (理解) science through poetry is not a new concept. In fact, records of scientific poetry can date back to the late 1700s. English physician and naturalist Erasmus Darwin (Charles Darwin’s grandfather) used poetry to celebrate scientific discoveries and inventions in The Botanic Garden, which he published in 1791. His book was well-received in Britain and the United States. In the next few decades, many European and North American poets followed his lead. This relationship unfortunately became weak as literature and the natural sciences gradually grew apart by the end of the 19th century. While scientific research expanded rapidly, the topics being studied also became more specialized. Experts believe that poetry — a relatively time-consuming art form — simply couldn’t keep up with the demand for more efficient science communication. All of this has led to scientific literature being gas we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists. In recent years, there’ve been calls to explore the intersections between science and the creative arts. For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University We stem Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry. His blog reached tens of thousands of readers, and he has since extended his work to research publications. Like many other experts, Dr. Illingworth believes that poetry can help facilitate dialogue between scientists and non-scientists, and this view is supported by studies from around the world! As we continue to make advances in science and technology, perhaps we can also turn to poetry to help us navigate the ever-growing fountain of knowledge reported by scientists each day. 32. Why does the author mention The Botanic Garden? A. To propose new means to combine poetry and science. B. To explain the historical concepts of poetry and science C. To prove poetry and science have long been integrated. D. To show poetry and science functioned differently in history. 33. What is said about today’s scientific literature? A. It is written in poetic language. B. It is unfriendly to non-scientists C. It becomes a time-consuming art form. D. It contributes to the scientific research. 34. What does Dr. Illingworth use his blog to do? A. Summarize research findings in a poem. B. Stress the influence of science on poetry. C. Encourage scientists to share their research. D. Offer readers a platform to create poems. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Science gives new life to poetry. B. Poetry and science change our life. C. Communicating science through poetry. D. Firing our enthusiasm for science education. 第二节 七选五(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。 Brushing your teeth twice a day is essential for keeping your teeth in good condition, but did you know that there are specific things we should be doing to ensure we are brushing correctly?

Mom had insisted I go with her to pick up Dad from work. Across from Dad’s office is a bike store. That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad. And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again. A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this?” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable. A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class? He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.” “I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 河北武邑中学2024-2025学年下学期高二年级期中考试英语试题 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分，共8页。考试结束后，只交答题卡。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生在答题卡上务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将自己的班级、姓名、学号、考试顺序号填写清楚 2. 各小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号，在试题卷上作答无效。 第Ⅰ卷（95分） 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 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A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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 part of maths is the woman bad at?

A 【解析】 【原文】Dear diary, it’s the 10th day of my bicycle journey from Beijing to Mongolia. Tomorrow will be one of the hardest days. To be honest, it’s not the physical challenge of cycling 10 hours per day, nor is it the burning July sun in this desert-like part of northern China. The real challenge is the loneliness of cycling for days without any company. The local people in the cities are so friendly, but I’ve only just been able to make friends with people who can speak English. But tomorrow morning I’ll have to say goodbye to the lovely family that housed me. I stayed here for an extra two days after this family helped me order food at a restaurant and invited me to stay at their home. They generously offered me a ride around their town, and amazing introductions to local food and tradition. I’ll miss them a lot as I continue riding north through the desert. I write this now, not just to motivate myself to continue, but to remind myself that each new friend I make on this trip could provide materials for my new book. As I sit here, looking out into an empty desert road, I feel so thankful for the friends I’ve made and so inspired by the experience of traveling. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Here are four of the most iconic places worldwide.

One hand lifts the ball high, and for a moment he seems to hang in the air. Then he hammers the ball through the rim. Slam dunk! His career may look like a slam dunk, being a national champion at the University of Connecticut, and setting beginner records with the Toronto Raptors. However, life wasn’t always easy for him. His success is due to more than his ability to play basketball and he owes much of who he is today to a skin disease called alopecia areata, which is not infectious but is caused by an error in the immune system that triggers germ-fighting cells to attack the body’s own hair-growing cells. Charlie was affected at age 10 and lost all his hair by age 12. This made him a target for bullying, leading him to withdraw and hide under caps and hoods. With the support of his mother, Charlie found refuge in basketball. He channeled his frustrations and stress into motivation, improving his skills to the point where his talent overshadowed his condition. The bullying stopped, and his basketball career took off. All along the way, Charlie has consistently dedicated himself to helping others. Ever since his first year as a new player, he has served as a spokesperson for the National Alopecia Areata Foundation, and went on to establish the Charlie Villanueva Foundation, an organization aimed at supporting families with children suffering from alopecia and stopping all forms of bullying. As the son of immigrants from the· Dominican Republic, he has even worked towards ending poverty in that country. Charlie inspires young people to embrace their individuality and have confidence in themselves. “We’re all unique in our own ways,” he says, encouraging them to remember that with dedication and self-belief, any dream is within reach. 24. Why is Charlie’s slam dunk mentioned in Paragraph 1? A. To compare him with other champions. B. To highlight his skills and achievements. C. To explain how a slam dunk is performed. D. To demonstrate a specific moment in a game. 25. What made Charlie avoid his peers? A. An infectious skin disease. B. His being made fun of. C. An error in the immune system. D. His average ability to play basketball. 26. Which of the following best describes Charlie? A. Humble and responsible. B. Strong-willed and helpful. C. Innovative and generous. D. Good-natured and tolerant. 27. What message does the text convey? A. Fortune favors the prepared. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. D. A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. 【答案】24. B 25. B 26. B 27.

The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage. The bricks are made from the same materials as the bricks that lined primitive kilns (窑) thousands of years ago. Batteries can store electricity and provide it to generate heat on demand. “The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University. “The materials are basically just the components of dirt. ” The researchers adopted computer models to compare costs, land needs, health impacts, and emissions involved in two scenarios for an imagined future where 149 countries in 2050 are using renewable sources for all energy purposes. In one scenario, firebricks provide 90% of industrial process heat. In the other, there’s zero adoption of firebricks or other forms of thermal energy storage. The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries. Jacobson’s focus on firebricks is relatively new, inspired by a desire to identify effective solutions that could be adopted quickly. “Here I can see a substantial benefits at low cost from multiple angles, from helping reduce air pollution deaths to making it easier to turn the world to clean energy,” he said. 28. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. How firebrick storage technology works. B. How firebricks are produced sustainably. C. What thermal energy means scientifically. D. What thermal energy storage is used to do. 29. What advantages do firebrick have over battery? A. Firebrick can store heat and cost less. B. Firebrick can generate more electricity. C. Firebrick can provide heat more quickly. D. Firebrick is made of more advanced materials. 30. Why are the computer models adopted? A. To test the durability of firebricks. B. To cut the costs of firebricks. C. To explore the effectiveness of firebricks. D. To test energy storage capacity of firebricks. 31. What might be a suitable title for the text? A. The usage of firebricks can replace batteries. B. Embracing renewable electricity becomes possible. C. Innovative systems turn heat into electricity cheaply. D. An old technology can aid the switch to clean energy. 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了古老火砖技术如何通过储存热能，帮助实现工业过程的可再生能源使用，从而助力全球净零排放目标的实现。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The technology involves fitting heat-absorbing bricks in an insulated (隔热的) container, where they can store heat generated by solar or wind power for later use in industrial processes. The heat can then be released when needed by passing air through channels in the piles of “firebricks”, thus allowing cement, steel, glass, and paper factories to run on renewable energy even when wind and sunshine are unavailable. These systems are a form of thermal energy (热能) storage.(这项技术涉及在隔热容器中安装吸热砖，这些砖可以储存由太阳能或风能产生的热量，以便在工业过程中后续使用。当需要时，可以通过在“耐火砖”堆中的通道通过空气来释放热量，从而使水泥、钢铁、玻璃和造纸厂能够在没有风和阳光的情况下依然依靠可再生能源运行。这些系统是热能存储的一种形式)”可知，本段详细说明了耐火砖储能技术是将吸热砖组装在隔热容器中，用来储存太阳能或风能产生的热量以便之后使用等内容，即这项技术的工作原理。故选A项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的““The differences between firebrick storage and battery storage are that the firebricks store heat rather than electricity and that their cost is one-tenth the cost of batteries,” said lead study author Mark Z. Jacobson, a professor at Stanford University.(“耐火砖存储与电池存储的区别在于，耐火砖储存的是热量而不是电力，并且其成本仅为电池的十分之一，”该研究的主要作者、斯坦福大学的教授马克·雅各布森说道)”可知，耐火砖储能与电池储能的差异在于耐火砖储存热量而非电力，且成本是电池的十分之一。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The researchers found the scenario with firebricks could cut costs by $1.27 trillion across the 149 countries, while reducing the demand for electrical energy and energy storage capacity from batteries.(研究人员发现，使用耐火砖的场景可以在这149个国家中削减1.27万亿美元的成本，同时减少对电能的需求以及来自电池的储能容量需求)”可知，研究者用模型对比两种未来可再生能源场景，涉及耐火砖在其中的作用及优势，故推知，采用计算机模型是为了探索耐火砖的有效性。故选C项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容及第一段“A technology with roots going back to the Bronze Age may offer a fast and inexpensive approach to helping achieve the United Nations climate goal of net zero emissions by 2050, according to recent Stanford-led research.(根据最近由斯坦福大学主导的研究，一种可以追溯到青铜时代的科技可能提供了一种快速且成本低廉的方法来帮助实现联合国2050年净零排放的气候目标)”可知，文章主要介绍了一种可追溯到青铜时代的耐火砖储能技术，该技术有助于实现联合国净零排放目标，即能够助力向清洁能源的转变。因此，选项D“一项古老的技术可以帮助转向清洁能源”作为标题最为合适。故选D项。 D Poetry and science seem like opposites. Yet, if we look through our history, we’ll see that navigating (理解) science through poetry is not a new concept. In fact, records of scientific poetry can date back to the late 1700s. English physician and naturalist Erasmus Darwin (Charles Darwin’s grandfather) used poetry to celebrate scientific discoveries and inventions in The Botanic Garden, which he published in 1791. His book was well-received in Britain and the United States. In the next few decades, many European and North American poets followed his lead. This relationship unfortunately became weak as literature and the natural sciences gradually grew apart by the end of the 19th century. While scientific research expanded rapidly, the topics being studied also became more specialized. Experts believe that poetry — a relatively time-consuming art form — simply couldn’t keep up with the demand for more efficient science communication. All of this has led to scientific literature being gas we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists. In recent years, there’ve been calls to explore the intersections between science and the creative arts. For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University We stem Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry. His blog reached tens of thousands of readers, and he has since extended his work to research publications. Like many other experts, Dr. Illingworth believes that poetry can help facilitate dialogue between scientists and non-scientists, and this view is supported by studies from around the world! As we continue to make advances in science and technology, perhaps we can also turn to poetry to help us navigate the ever-growing fountain of knowledge reported by scientists each day. 32. Why does the author mention The Botanic Garden? A. To propose new means to combine poetry and science. B. To explain the historical concepts of poetry and science C. To prove poetry and science have long been integrated. D. To show poetry and science functioned differently in history. 33. What is said about today’s scientific literature? A. It is written in poetic language. B. It is unfriendly to non-scientists C. It becomes a time-consuming art form. D. It contributes to the scientific research. 34. What does Dr. Illingworth use his blog to do? A. Summarize research findings in a poem. B. Stress the influence of science on poetry. C. Encourage scientists to share their research. D. Offer readers a platform to create poems. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Science gives new life to poetry. B. Poetry and science change our life. C. Communicating science through poetry. D. Firing our enthusiasm for science education. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了诗歌和科学在历史上可以追溯到18世纪末，不幸的是，随着文学和自然科学在19世纪末逐渐分离，这种关系变得薄弱起来。而如今的科学文献对非科学家不友好，指出诗歌可以有助于科学的传播。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In fact, records of scientific poetry can date back to the late 1700s. English physician and naturalist Erasmus Darwin (Charles Darwin’s grandfather) used poetry to celebrate scientific discoveries and inventions in The Botanic Garden, which he published in 1791.(事实上，科学诗歌的记录可以追溯到18世纪末。英国内科医生和博物学家伊拉斯谟·达尔文（查尔斯·达尔文的祖父）在1791年出版的《植物园》一书中用诗歌来庆祝科学发现和发明)”可知，作者提到《植物园》是为了证明诗歌和科学早已融为一体。故选C。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“All of this has led to scientific literature being gas we know it today: articles written in complicated, academic language that is not easily understood by non-scientists.(所有这一切都导致了我们今天所知道的科学文献：用复杂的学术语言写成的文章，非科学家不容易理解)”可知，今天的科学文献对非科学家不友好。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In recent years, there’ve been calls to explore the intersections between science and the creative arts. For example, in 2014, Dr. Sam Illingworth, a senior lecturer at the University We stem Australia, started a weekly blog called The Poetry of Science where he reads a piece of scientific research and translates the findings into an original piece of poetry.(2014年，澳大利亚科技大学的高级讲师萨姆·伊林沃思博士开设了一个名为“科学之诗”的每周博客，他在博客上阅读一篇科学研究，并将研究结果翻译成一首原创诗歌)”可知，伊林沃思博士在他的博客用一首诗总结研究结果。故选A。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“As we continue to make advances in science and technology, perhaps we can also turn to poetry to help us navigate the ever-growing fountain of knowledge reported by scientists each day.(随着科学技术的不断进步，也许我们也可以求助于诗歌来帮助我们驾驭科学家每天报告的不断增长的知识之泉)”结合文章主要说明了诗歌和科学在历史上可以追溯到18世纪末，不幸的是，随着文学和自然科学在19世纪末逐渐分离，这种关系变得薄弱起来。而如今的科学文献对非科学家不友好，指出诗歌可以有助于科学的传播。可知，C选项“通过诗歌传播科学”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节 七选五(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。 Brushing your teeth twice a day is essential for keeping your teeth in good condition, but did you know that there are specific things we should be doing to ensure we are brushing correctly?

Across from Dad’s office is a bike store. That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad. And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again. A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this?” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable. A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class? He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.” “I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. The guilt of keeping Tyler's bike hidden behind the garage weighed heavily on me. I couldn't enjoy having the bike while knowing that it rightfully belonged to someone else. I wanted to make things right. So I went to my mother and told her what had happened. My mother smiled and tapped me on the shoulder, gently saying, “I believe you have known what you should do to the bike.” “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” My heart raced with a mix of nervousness and determination. I walked up to knock the door. “Hey Tyler, I'm really sorry that I hid it and caused you trouble.” To my great surprise, he did not blame. What I saw was a smile slowly spread across his face. I knew exactly what that smile meant -- forgiveness for me. From that day on, the purple BMX Mongoose bike was no longer important to me. What mattered was the friendship I had formed with Tyler, which also taught me the important values like honesty. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了11岁的作者一直梦想拥有一辆紫色自行车，但他的父母不同意买给他。后来，他偶然发现了一辆被遗弃的紫色自行车，偷偷把它藏了起来，这辆自行车其实属于另一个孩子Tyler。最后，作者向母亲坦白了实情，并决定归还自行车。Tyler原谅了他，并建立了真诚的友谊。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“放学后，我回到家，拖着沉重的步子回到我的房间。”可知，第一段可描写作者回到家后把自己关在房间里，深感愧疚，并且主动向妈妈坦白了事实。 ②由第二段首句内容““我知道Tyler的家，”妈妈说。“我开车送你去。””可知，第二段可描写作者主动跟Tyler道歉，得到了Tyler的原谅，作者如释重负，并且和Tyler成为朋友，以及作者最终的领悟。 2.续写线索： 深感愧疚——告知真相——归还车子——道歉——原谅——成为朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①重压：weigh on sb/press on sb ②.拍：tap/pat ③.绽开笑容：a smile spread across one’s face/a smile shines on one’s face 情绪类 ①.愧疚/羞愧：guilt/shame ②.惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1].

The real chAllenge is the loneliness of cycling for days without any company. The local people in the cities are so friendly, but I ve only just been able to make friends with people who can speak english.

They generously offered me a ride around their town and amazing introductions to local food and tradition. I'll miss them a lot as I continue writing north through the desert. I write this now not just to motivate myself to continue, but to remind myself that each new friend I make on this trip could provide materials for my new book. As I sit here looking out into an empty desert road, I feel so thankful for the friends i've made and so inspired by the experience of traveling.
