B The rich aroma of freshly roasted coffee filled the air inside a quaint stone cabin in the eastern Chinese village that houses Frank Sterzer’s café: Bamboo Coffee Roasters. After more than 20 years as an engineer and executive with leading automobile companies in Germany and China, Frank has found a new calling and fulfillment in the village of Maoli near Ningbo in Zhejiang province. Inspired by his lifelong love of coffee, a passion for roasting beans prompted Frank to turn what had been a hobby into a thriving business. “Zhejiang’s countryside has excellent infrastructure and beautiful landscapes, and I find it the ideal place to start my business,” Frank says. Maoli is located less than a 30-minute drive from the Ningbo city center, striking a pleasing balance between urban convenience and rural tranquility. For Frank, the experience of sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying a slice of handmade cake and gazing at the countryside, captures the type of serene lifestyle he hopes to share with visitors. “Bamboo Coffee Roasters is a place to share the charm of this mountain village with visitors from all over the world,” he explains. The café is named after the abundance of bamboo around Maoli, while its logo was inspired by a photograph Frank took of a nearby bamboo forest. He has also created a small coffee factory behind the shop front, where excellent beans from around the world are neatly stacked next to gently humming roasting machines. He roasts 10 metric tons a year. All these have become key components of the café’s success. Since opening in June 2024, Bamboo Coffee Roasters has quickly become a popular destination, attracting visitors from near and far including international travelers taking advantage of China’s expanded visa-free policies. Frank’s own family took advantage of this policy, with his mother and siblings visiting last year. Before the Spring Festival, the café was welcoming guests from allover, including nearby cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai. “We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and business, purchasing local produce. Products such as honey oranges, bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets, thanks to the café’s popularity,” one tourist said. 4. What made Frank set up the café in Maoli? A. The village’s outstanding facilities and picturesque sceneries. B. China’s expanded visa-free policies for international travelers. C. Frank’s newly found enthusiasm for coffee and roasting beans. D. The combination of urban convenience with rural booming industry. 5. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The operation of Frank’s business. B. The hardships of running the business. C. Origins of Bamboo Coffee Roasters. D. The vast profit earned from the business. 6. Why is the tourist remark mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To prove guests from all over promoted Frank’s business. B. To tell us the popularity of Frank’s business enhanced local economy. C. To share with readers the intense interest of tourists in exploring Ningbo. D. To advertise for the local businesses to promote the sale of local produce. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. An overnight celebrity: from engineer to business founder B. Relaxing Coffee culture: a new trend of lifestyle in Zhejiang villages C. A Perfect integration: the fragrance of coffee and the peace of rural life D. Bamboo Coffee Roasters: a miracle of international investment in China C Human brains are social organs — they’re neurobiologically (神经生物) wired for connection. But just as our students’ brains can be unfavorably affected by negative mentality and misfortunes, so can their parents’ brains, affecting relationships with teachers. What feels hurtful from a parent could be a worn-out brain, one that is trying to survive and so is defending itself and paying close attention to experiences or relationships that may feel terrifying or unsafe. There are times when we may feel harmed by a parent, and we too can fire off sharp words if we re feeling misunderstood and angry. We may also unintentionally increase a conflict while moving farther away from cooperation and solutions. A poorly regulated educator cannot help a poorly regulated parent. I myself have been blamed for my son’s upsetting behaviors when he was struggling emotionally. Eleven years ago, when Andrew became a newcomer in high school, the anxiety and anger masking the fear he felt almost destroyed our family. We felt helpless and often hopeless. In the middle of this scary time, I received an email from Andrew’s Spanish teacher. Dear Dr. Desautels, I wanted you to know that Andrew finished his project today and had a smile on his face. I just wanted to share that with you. Please let me know how I may serve you in the days to come. Mr: Pickett This email changed everything for me as a mom and as an educator. It helped our family experience a bit of hope and inspiration. Andrew worked hard for Mr. Pickett that term and ended with an A. He failed most of his other classes, but because of the connection this teacher created with Andrew, he felt heard, seen, and appreciated. One thing I’ve learned is that I must regulate my own brain state before I interact with parents. Mr. Pickett’s effort to foster a positive relationship with my family and my son has shown me a way to support both students and their parents. 8. Why does a parent say hurtful things? A. They dislike teachers. B. They are easily upset. C. They are much too stressed. D. They are willing to let their anger out. 9. What happened to Andrew as a newcomer in high school? A. He was physically ill. B. He had emotional suffering. C. He tried to escape his family. D. He quarreled with his teacher. 10. Why did Andrew begin to study Spanish hard? A. He wanted to change everything. B. He was persuaded by his parents. C. He realized the importance of the subject. D. He got care and appreciation from the teacher. 11. Who is the intended reader? A. Students. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Doctors. D Terns (燕鸥) chirping and wolves howling are among a pioneering composition that integrates sounds from nature with traditional instruments. Bird songs and animal calls will interact with orchestral music on an album by Stewart Copeland. Wild Concerto, released on 18 April, is a “cooperation between nature and music”. A croaking frog, a black-footed albatross (信天翁), and a red deer will “perform” with Copeland, alongside 30musicians from the Kingdom Orchestra. Copeland said none of the natural recordings had been manipulated or returned. “All the bird and animal sounds are exactly as they were, but I put them in positions so that they add up to a melody and rhythm,” he said. “Their voices bring an super authenticity to the music. They all have their own individual melodies but when you put an instrument in, everything is more amazing.” Wild Concerto is inspired by the arctic tern’s migration from pole to pole, and creatures possibly encountered along the way. Copeland said there was a conservationist theme to the work. “Many of these species are endangered and their sounds could vanish in our lifetime. Through the Wild Concerto, their voices will be kept immortalized.” For six decades, he has captured sounds of the natural world, from rain-forests to deserts — recordings heard in natural history series such as Our Oceans and Blue Planet as well as about 150films. With a document of almost 100,000 recordings he has been called “the David Attenborough of sound”. Copeland is a brilliant talent. He’s combined natural sounds and music seamlessly. This is another way for people to listen to nature. He hopes the album will raise people’s awareness of creatures whose sounds cannot be clearly captured due to noise pollution: “Two-thirds of the species in my library are now basically extinct. Twenty-five or 30 years ago, when I wanted to record one hour of primitive sound, it took about three or four hours to do that with minimal editing, compared to 2,000 recording hours today, because there are so many man-made sounds in the environment...” 12. What is the feature of the album Wild Concerto? A. Integrating natural sounds with music perfectly. B. Mixing bird songs with animal calls completely. C. Producing super realistic bird songs and animal calls. D. Making successful changes to bird songs and animal calls. 13. What does the underlined word “manipulated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Monitored. B. Analyzed. C. Matched. D. Edited. 14. What do we know about Copeland? A. He was optimistic and hopeful about the wildlife situation. B. He was indifferent and helpless about the noise pollution. C. He expressed his great concern about the endangered species. D. He demonstrated enormous passion about the success of the concert. 15. What does the author think of Copeland’s efforts? A. Time-consuming and fruitless. B. Notable and remarkable. C. Efficient and innovative. D. Meaningless and conventional. 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。 True beauty is not found in looks. ____16____ Changing the way you think about beauty will give you life-long confidence.

By the end of the day, besides fishes and sea weeds, he fished a message bottle. He opened it carefully and inside the bottle was a brief loving letter from a British soldier named Hughes to his wife: Dear Wife, I am writing this note on this boat and dropping it into the sea just to see if it will reach you. If it does, sign this envelope on the right hand bottom corner where it says receipt. Put the date and hour of receipt and your name where it says signature and look after it well. Ta-ta sweet, for the present. Your Hubby Also attached was a covering note intended for the finder of the bottle: Sir or madam, would you kindly forward the enclosed letter and earn the blessing of a poor British soldier on his way to the front this ninth day of September, 1914. Signed Private T. Hughes. Actually, as Hughes crossed the English Channel from Southampton to St. Nazaire on 9 September, 1914, at 7:52 p.m., he dropped a message in a green beer bottle over the side of the ship and he died two days later in the war. 85 years later, the bottle was finally caught by Steve Gowan, the fisherman. Steve Gowan examined the letter carefully. It had the soldier’s name and army number, so he supposed that the message should be real. But how could he deliver it to the intended recipient? In 1999, the internet was still in its early years. No way would he be able to find Hughes’s possible surviving family that way! So, what to do? Well, he put an advertisement in a local paper! The story captured so many hearts and minds that it gained national coverage. Somewhere along the way, through magic and luck, he learned that Hughes’s daughter, Emily, was still alive in New Zealand! 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。 Right away, Gowan and journalists managed to get in touch with Emily. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The local paper decided to offer Mr. Gowan an air ticket to deliver the letter in person. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 阆中北大博雅骏臣高2025届4月知识整理英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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，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.When will the speakers set out?

After more than 20 years as an engineer and executive with leading automobile companies in Germany and China, Frank has found a new calling and fulfillment in the village of Maoli near Ningbo in Zhejiang province. Inspired by his lifelong love of coffee, a passion for roasting beans prompted Frank to turn what had been a hobby into a thriving business. “Zhejiang’s countryside has excellent infrastructure and beautiful landscapes, and I find it the ideal place to start my business,” Frank says. Maoli is located less than a 30-minute drive from the Ningbo city center, striking a pleasing balance between urban convenience and rural tranquility. For Frank, the experience of sipping a cup of coffee while enjoying a slice of handmade cake and gazing at the countryside, captures the type of serene lifestyle he hopes to share with visitors. “Bamboo Coffee Roasters is a place to share the charm of this mountain village with visitors from all over the world,” he explains. The café is named after the abundance of bamboo around Maoli, while its logo was inspired by a photograph Frank took of a nearby bamboo forest. He has also created a small coffee factory behind the shop front, where excellent beans from around the world are neatly stacked next to gently humming roasting machines. He roasts 10 metric tons a year. All these have become key components of the café’s success. Since opening in June 2024, Bamboo Coffee Roasters has quickly become a popular destination, attracting visitors from near and far including international travelers taking advantage of China’s expanded visa-free policies. Frank’s own family took advantage of this policy, with his mother and siblings visiting last year. Before the Spring Festival, the café was welcoming guests from allover, including nearby cities like Hangzhou and Shanghai. “We came to Ningbo for local delicacies and business, purchasing local produce. Products such as honey oranges, bamboo shoots and tea have also found wider markets, thanks to the café’s popularity,” one tourist said. 4. What made Frank set up the café in Maoli? A.

But just as our students’ brains can be unfavorably affected by negative mentality and misfortunes, so can their parents’ brains, affecting relationships with teachers. What feels hurtful from a parent could be a worn-out brain, one that is trying to survive and so is defending itself and paying close attention to experiences or relationships that may feel terrifying or unsafe. There are times when we may feel harmed by a parent, and we too can fire off sharp words if we re feeling misunderstood and angry. We may also unintentionally increase a conflict while moving farther away from cooperation and solutions. A poorly regulated educator cannot help a poorly regulated parent. I myself have been blamed for my son’s upsetting behaviors when he was struggling emotionally. Eleven years ago, when Andrew became a newcomer in high school, the anxiety and anger masking the fear he felt almost destroyed our family. We felt helpless and often hopeless. In the middle of this scary time, I received an email from Andrew’s Spanish teacher. Dear Dr. Desautels, I wanted you to know that Andrew finished his project today and had a smile on his face. I just wanted to share that with you. Please let me know how I may serve you in the days to come. Mr: Pickett This email changed everything for me as a mom and as an educator. It helped our family experience a bit of hope and inspiration. Andrew worked hard for Mr. Pickett that term and ended with an A. He failed most of his other classes, but because of the connection this teacher created with Andrew, he felt heard, seen, and appreciated. One thing I’ve learned is that I must regulate my own brain state before I interact with parents. Mr. Pickett’s effort to foster a positive relationship with my family and my son has shown me a way to support both students and their parents. 8. Why does a parent say hurtful things? A. They dislike teachers. B. They are easily upset. C. They are much too stressed. D. They are willing to let their anger out. 9. What happened to Andrew as a newcomer in high school? A. He was physically ill. B. He had emotional suffering. C. He tried to escape his family. D. He quarreled with his teacher. 10. Why did Andrew begin to study Spanish hard? A. He wanted to change everything. B. He was persuaded by his parents. C. He realized the importance of the subject. D. He got care and appreciation from the teacher. 11. Who is the intended reader? A. Students. B. Teachers. C. Parents. D. Doctors. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章说明父母和孩子一样都会受到消极心态和不幸的影响，从而影响与老师的关系。作者在文章中通过讲述自己与儿子成长过程中的教育问题，获得了一位西班牙语老师的帮助，让她明白了如何更高效地与孩子和其他学生及他们的父母之间的相处和沟通，建立良好的关系。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“What feels hurtful from a parent could be a worn-out brain, one that is trying to survive and so is defending itself and paying close attention to experiences or relationships that may feel terrifying or unsafe.(来自父母的伤害可能是一个疲惫的大脑，一个试图生存，因此保护自己，密切关注可能感到可怕或不安全的经历或关系的大脑。)”可知，疲惫的大脑试图生存和保护自己，密切关注不安全的经历或关系使得父母给孩子带来伤人的话语，由此可见他们的压力过大，故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I myself have been blamed for my son’s upsetting behaviors when he was struggling emotionally. Eleven years ago, when Andrew became a newcomer in high school, the anxiety and anger masking the fear he felt almost destroyed our family. (我儿子在情绪上挣扎时的不安行为都怪我自己。11年前，当安德鲁成为一名高中新生时，焦虑和愤怒掩盖了他几乎摧毁我们家庭的恐惧。)”可知，安德鲁在成为一名高中生时，遭受情感上的痛苦，故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“He failed most of his other classes, but because of the connection this teacher created with Andrew, he felt heard, seen, and appreciated.(他其他大部分课程都不及格，但由于这位老师与安德鲁建立了联系，他感到自己被听到、看到和欣赏。)”可知，安德鲁努力学习西班牙语，是因为他得到了老师的关心和赞赏。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，父母和孩子一样都会受到消极心态和不幸的影响，从而影响与老师的关系。作者在文章中通过讲述自己与儿子成长过程中的教育问题来说明父母与孩子如何建立积极的关系，结合最后一段“One thing I’ve learned is that I must regulate my own brain state before I interact with parents. Mr. Pickett’s effort to foster a positive relationship with my family and my son has shown me a way to support both students and their parents.(我学到的一件事是，在与父母互动之前，我必须调节自己的大脑状态。皮克特先生努力与我的家人和儿子建立积极的关系，这向我展示了一种支持学生和他们父母的方式。)”可知，作者得到了这位西班牙语老师的帮助，从这件事作者学会了更高效地与孩子和其他学生及他们的父母之间的相处和沟通，建立良好的关系，由此可知，本文主要是想表述家长如何与孩子和老师建立良好的相处关系，所以本文的主要读者对象应是父母，故选C。 D Terns (燕鸥) chirping and wolves howling are among a pioneering composition that integrates sounds from nature with traditional instruments. Bird songs and animal calls will interact with orchestral music on an album by Stewart Copeland. Wild Concerto, released on 18 April, is a “cooperation between nature and music”. A croaking frog, a black-footed albatross (信天翁), and a red deer will “perform” with Copeland, alongside 30musicians from the Kingdom Orchestra. Copeland said none of the natural recordings had been manipulated or returned. “All the bird and animal sounds are exactly as they were, but I put them in positions so that they add up to a melody and rhythm,” he said. “Their voices bring an super authenticity to the music. They all have their own individual melodies but when you put an instrument in, everything is more amazing.” Wild Concerto is inspired by the arctic tern’s migration from pole to pole, and creatures possibly encountered along the way. Copeland said there was a conservationist theme to the work. “Many of these species are endangered and their sounds could vanish in our lifetime. Through the Wild Concerto, their voices will be kept immortalized.” For six decades, he has captured sounds of the natural world, from rain-forests to deserts — recordings heard in natural history series such as Our Oceans and Blue Planet as well as about 150films. With a document of almost 100,000 recordings he has been called “the David Attenborough of sound”. Copeland is a brilliant talent. He’s combined natural sounds and music seamlessly. This is another way for people to listen to nature. He hopes the album will raise people’s awareness of creatures whose sounds cannot be clearly captured due to noise pollution: “Two-thirds of the species in my library are now basically extinct. Twenty-five or 30 years ago, when I wanted to record one hour of primitive sound, it took about three or four hours to do that with minimal editing, compared to 2,000 recording hours today, because there are so many man-made sounds in the environment...” 12. What is the feature of the album Wild Concerto? A. Integrating natural sounds with music perfectly. B. Mixing bird songs with animal calls completely. C. Producing super realistic bird songs and animal calls. D. Making successful changes to bird songs and animal calls. 13. What does the underlined word “manipulated” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Monitored. B. Analyzed. C. Matched. D. Edited. 14. What do we know about Copeland? A. He was optimistic and hopeful about the wildlife situation. B. He was indifferent and helpless about the noise pollution. C. He expressed his great concern about the endangered species. D. He demonstrated enormous passion about the success of the concert. 15. What does the author think of Copeland’s efforts? A. Time-consuming and fruitless. B. Notable and remarkable. C. Efficient and innovative. D. Meaningless and conventional. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要讲述Stewart Copeland将自然界的声音与传统乐器相结合的先锋作品Wild Concerto。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bird songs and animal calls will interact with orchestral music on an album by Stewart Copeland.(在Stewart Copeland的专辑中，鸟鸣和动物叫声将与管弦乐互动)”和第二段中“Wild Concerto, released on 18 April, is a ‘cooperation between nature and music’.(4月18日发行的Wild Concerto是‘自然与音乐的合作’)”可知，专辑Wild Concerto特点是将自然的声音与音乐完美相结合，故选A。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“All the bird and animal sounds are exactly as they were(所有的鸟和动物的声音都和原来一模一样)”可知，所有的鸟和动物的声音都和原来一模一样，所以没有任何自然声音被剪辑，manipulated意为“剪辑”，故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Copeland said there was a conservationist theme to the work. ‘Many of these species are endangered and their sounds could vanish in our lifetime. Through the Wild Concerto, their voices will be kept immortalized.’(Copeland说，这个作品的主题是环保主义。‘这些物种中有许多濒临灭绝，它们的声音可能在我们的有生之年消失。通过Wild Concerto，它们的声音将永垂不朽。’)”可知，Copeland的作品主题是环保主义，记录了可能会消失的濒危物种的声音，推知Copeland表达了对濒危物种的担忧，故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“For six decades, he has captured sounds of the natural world, from rain-forests to deserts — recordings heard in natural history series such as Our Oceans and Blue Planet as well as about 150 films. With a document of almost 100,000 recordings he has been called ‘the David Attenborough of sound’. Copeland is a brilliant talent. He’s combined natural sounds and music seamlessly. This is another way for people to listen to nature.(60年来，他一直在捕捉自然世界的声音，从雨林到沙漠，这些录音在《我们的海洋》和《蓝色星球》等自然历史系列节目以及大约150部电影中都能听到。他拥有近10万份录音文件，被称为‘声音界的David Attenborough’。Copeland是个才华横溢的天才。他把自然的声音和音乐无缝地结合在一起。这是人们聆听自然的另一种方式)”可知，作者提到Copeland捕捉了很多自然界的声音，认为Copeland的专辑是人们聆听自然的另一种方式，推知作者认为Copeland的努力重要、有非凡意义。故选B。 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。 True beauty is not found in looks. ____16____ Changing the way you think about beauty will give you life-long confidence.

By the end of the day, besides fishes and sea weeds, he fished a message bottle. He opened it carefully and inside the bottle was a brief loving letter from a British soldier named Hughes to his wife: Dear Wife, I am writing this note on this boat and dropping it into the sea just to see if it will reach you. If it does, sign this envelope on the right hand bottom corner where it says receipt. Put the date and hour of receipt and your name where it says signature and look after it well. Ta-ta sweet, for the present. Your Hubby Also attached was a covering note intended for the finder of the bottle: Sir or madam, would you kindly forward the enclosed letter and earn the blessing of a poor British soldier on his way to the front this ninth day of September, 1914. Signed Private T. Hughes. Actually, as Hughes crossed the English Channel from Southampton to St. Nazaire on 9 September, 1914, at 7:52 p.m., he dropped a message in a green beer bottle over the side of the ship and he died two days later in the war. 85 years later, the bottle was finally caught by Steve Gowan, the fisherman. Steve Gowan examined the letter carefully. It had the soldier’s name and army number, so he supposed that the message should be real. But how could he deliver it to the intended recipient? In 1999, the internet was still in its early years. No way would he be able to find Hughes’s possible surviving family that way! So, what to do? Well, he put an advertisement in a local paper! The story captured so many hearts and minds that it gained national coverage. Somewhere along the way, through magic and luck, he learned that Hughes’s daughter, Emily, was still alive in New Zealand! 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。 Right away, Gowan and journalists managed to get in touch with Emily. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The local paper decided to offer Mr. Gowan an air ticket to deliver the letter in person. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: Right away, Gowan and journalists managed to get in touch with Emily. It felt like a miracle to this senior lady and she couldn’t even believe it was true. Emily said in an exciting voice: “I only possess a few photos of my father and spent most of my life trying to find more about him. I am so overwhelmed to hear this discovery!” The letter meant so much to her and it seemed that it was a gift from her father. What was more surprising was another gift from the local paper. Para 2: The local paper decided to offer Mr. Gowan an air ticket to deliver the letter in person. Steve Gowan felt it was like a mission and gladly accepted the gift. Hughes’s message to his family was finally delivered 85 years after it was sent. When Emily opened the letter with her trembling hands, Gowan witnessed tears, laughter, sweet memories and gratitude, all the mixed feelings from Emily. He felt he had fished not a letter in a bottle but huge treasure, a bridge connecting the living to the dead, a message bonding a family. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Steve Gowan在河边钓鱼的时候见到了英国士兵写给他妻子的情书，于是Gowan在报纸上登了广告，找到了这个妻子的女儿Emily。当地报纸给了他一张机票，让他亲自送这封信，最后Emily拿到了信，非常感动。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Gowan和记者们马上联系上了Emily。”可知，第一段可描写Emily得知这封信之后的反应，这封信对她意义重大，似乎是她父亲送给她的礼物。 ②由第二段首句内容“当地报纸决定给Gowan先生一张机票，让他亲自送这封信。”可知，第二段可描写Gowan送信的过程以及Emily收到信的反应。 2.续写线索：联系Emily——Emily激动——Gowan亲自送信——Emily拿到信——Gowan感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 取得联系：get in touch with / make contact with 拥有：possess / have 接受：accept/ receive 情绪类 激动：overwhelmed / excited/ thrilled 高兴：gladly / delightedly 【点睛】[高分句型1] What was more surprising was another gift from the local paper.
