During his stay, he found that the biggest problem the local children faced was repeated power cuts, which made it difficult for them to study. That left a deep impact on Uday. Uday came back to Delhi and took immediate action to approach the problem. He soon understood that residents of villages like Bichpuri couldn’t afford electrical devices. He wanted to find and develop a solution to rural India’s power shortage. After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup (备用) of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut. Explaining how the bulb works, Uday states that the technology used is very simple. “When the bulb is connected to a power source, energy gets stored in the battery. When the power supply is cut off, the bulb uses the energy stored in the battery to give out light,” he explains. At first, he established a bulb with a four-hour backup. But he wanted to provide a backup of 8-10 hours. Thanks to his love of computer science, he developed a way to change the bulb’s brightness, increasing the backup time without increasing the size of the battery. The bulb now comes with settings 1o change the brightness. Uday sold each bulb at only 250 rupees (3 dollars) and has so far sold over 7,000 units in many remote villages. But what Uday did went beyond business; he donated 950 units to houses in the poorest areas through a non-governmental organisation, bringing joy to those living without electricity. “When I saw the joy on people’s faces when their houses were lit up, I felt on top of the world. No feeling could come close to it,” says Uday. Uday won the Diana Award 2023, which honours “remarkable young people selflessly creating positive social change”. He wishes to bring bulb to as many houses as he can in the coming years. 4. What inspired Uday to invent Uday Electric? A. An experiment he did at school. B. A volunteering experience. C. His interest in computer science. D. The power cuts he faced every day. 5. What do we know about Uday Electric? A. It is small and solar-powered. B. It just can’t adjust the brightness. C. It can work without batteries. D. It is affordable and effective. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Uday? A. Honest and confident. B. Humorous and generous. C. Determined and warm-hearted. D. Outgoing and independent. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Teen’s bright idea lights rural India B. A solution to end India’s power shortage C. A young Indian changemaker giving back D. The inspiring journey of a teenage Indian’s success C Groundhog (土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early. Curiously, Phil is not alone. In the region around Milan, tradition has it that if the bear comes out of his hole on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, he will be able to make himself a nice dry bed and then he’ll want to keep on sleeping. This will show that the winter will continue. But if it’s a rainy day, the bear will have to stay out — and spring will come soon. “These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That’s why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad. “The idea is that the darkest moment, when everything seems to go wrong, is when we experience a rebirth, a new life,” explains Righetto. There is a thought that life comes from darkness, just as plants start to grow from the seeds left underground during winter. This thought is so powerful that it crossed countries and survived centuries. These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem — they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Animals are cleverer than humans. B. The groundhog dislikes his shadow. C. The bear prefers to sleep in the dry bed. D. A sunny Groundhog Day means a longer winter. 9. What does the second paragraph talk about? A. The origin of the traditions. B. The nature of the world. C. The laws of the nature. D. Indo-European civilizations. 10. Which is a benefit of these traditions? A They can prevent bad weather. B. They can provide emotional support. C. They can solve the real problem. D. They can exercise magical powers. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea behind the traditions? A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Respectful. D. Uncertain. D Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde has spent much of his time seeking artistic solutions to solve our environmental problems. His past projects include “Bioluminescent (生物发光) Trees” to light streets, a “Smog-Free Tower” to clean Beijing’s polluted air and “Gates of Light”, which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem — space junk (垃圾)! Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 pieces of large rubbish. To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions. The plan, called the Space Waste Lab, started in October 2018 with a laser (激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at heights of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are. To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is “Shooting Stars”, which attempts to reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon returning planetside, the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star. Roosegaarde envisages that, if successful, burning space waste could someday replace fireworks at large public events! Not just about cleaning up space, Roosegaarde sees this as an opportunity to deal with another issue at the same time. “The Netherlands spends € 70 million on fireworks every year,” says Roosegaarde. “There’s a lot of damage, they can be dangerous and there’s also a lot of pollution. Working with the scientific department at the European Space Agency, we have produced a new type of practical experience that both cleans up space and offers a new form of performance,” he adds. 12. What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde? A. He is too eager to put forward good plans. B. He is creative in solving environmental problems. C. He is fond of spending all of his time seeking art skills. D. He is unfamiliar to art reflected in environmental projects. 13. Why was a laser show held in October 2018? A. To confirm real-Lime information about space waste. B. To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people. C. To raise public awareness of the amount of space waste. D. To inspire people to consider the solution to space waste. 14. What does the underlined word “envisages” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Imagines. B. Demands. C. Advises. D. Monitors. 15. What does Roosegaarde think of the “Shooting Stars” project? A. It causes a lot of damage. B. It has little artistic value. C. It is a waste of money. D. It will bring more benefits. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The world is diverse, with a variety of languages, skin colors, and cultures coexisting. ___16___ A way to develop this appreciation is to try to learn about other cultures around the world.

I love planning for them, making the invitations, planning the games and decorating my own cake. The only thing that I don’t like is deciding on the guest list. When I was in elementary school my mom would tell me the maximum number of friends that I could invite and it was always a number too small for my list. I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at my school, so I just kind of floated around, gathering friends from many backgrounds. There was an “in” crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school — if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would turn away in disgust (厌恶). It made getting dressed in the morning a very scary thing. Shannon was one of my friends who seemed to unknowingly break the rules of uncoolness all the time. I don’t know why she was targeted, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Shannon was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was somewhat overweight and didn’t talk much. She was laughed at a lot. Whenever there was a strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would laugh and point at her. Shannon never said anything, but it made me feel sick inside. Shannon was innocent (无辜的), I thought. One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at our house. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school. “Why did you invite her?” asked one of my cool friends when it was discovered that I had invited Shannon. She pressured me to tell her not to come. There were other people I could add in her place who would be more acceptable. 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。 Unsure what to do, I was put in a difficult situation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks after the party, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for my invitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 综合测试卷 英语试题 考生注意： 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。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。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分。 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，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．What do we know about the earthquake?

Out-of-state residents will pay an extra $5 per night for campsites. 营地费用：每晚15美元。州外居民每晚要额外支付5美元的露营费)”可知，外州居民每晚营地费为15+5=20美元；根据Cancellations部分中“Cancelling 7 days or less before coming: The costs you are expected to pay include the reservation fee $7.25 and the cancellation fee $7.25, plus the fee of the first night’s campsites.(提前7天或更短时间取消：您需要支付的费用包括7.25美元的预订费和7.25美元的取消费，以及第一晚露营地的费用)”可知，取消政策中说明抵达前7天或更短时间内取消需支付预订费7.25美元、取消费7.25美元以及第一晚的营地费。那么外州居民在抵达前两日取消需支付7.25+7.25+20=34.5美元。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据General Rules and Information部分中“Check Out: Campers must leave their sites no later than 11 am on the day of leaving.(退房：营员必须在离开当天上午11点之前离开营地)”可知，露营者必须在离开当天的上午11点之前离开他们的营地，这是必须遵守的规定。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Camper Assistance Programme (CAP)部分中“Checking facilities.(检查设施)”可知，CAP志愿者需要检查设施。故选B项。 B In April 2022, Uday Bhatia, a student from Delhi, India, visited Bichpuri as a volunteer for a 2-day programme. During his stay, he found that the biggest problem the local children faced was repeated power cuts, which made it difficult for them to study. That left a deep impact on Uday. Uday came back to Delhi and took immediate action to approach the problem. He soon understood that residents of villages like Bichpuri couldn’t afford electrical devices. He wanted to find and develop a solution to rural India’s power shortage. After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup (备用) of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut. Explaining how the bulb works, Uday states that the technology used is very simple. “When the bulb is connected to a power source, energy gets stored in the battery. When the power supply is cut off, the bulb uses the energy stored in the battery to give out light,” he explains. At first, he established a bulb with a four-hour backup. But he wanted to provide a backup of 8-10 hours. Thanks to his love of computer science, he developed a way to change the bulb’s brightness, increasing the backup time without increasing the size of the battery. The bulb now comes with settings 1o change the brightness. Uday sold each bulb at only 250 rupees (3 dollars) and has so far sold over 7,000 units in many remote villages. But what Uday did went beyond business; he donated 950 units to houses in the poorest areas through a non-governmental organisation, bringing joy to those living without electricity. “When I saw the joy on people’s faces when their houses were lit up, I felt on top of the world. No feeling could come close to it,” says Uday. Uday won the Diana Award 2023, which honours “remarkable young people selflessly creating positive social change”. He wishes to bring bulb to as many houses as he can in the coming years. 4. What inspired Uday to invent Uday Electric? A. An experiment he did at school. B. A volunteering experience. C. His interest in computer science. D. The power cuts he faced every day. 5. What do we know about Uday Electric? A. It is small and solar-powered. B. It just can’t adjust the brightness. C. It can work without batteries. D. It is affordable and effective. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Uday? A. Honest and confident. B. Humorous and generous. C. Determined and warm-hearted. D. Outgoing and independent. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Teen’s bright idea lights rural India B. A solution to end India’s power shortage C. A young Indian changemaker giving back D. The inspiring journey of a teenage Indian’s success 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文属于记叙文。印度学生Uday Bhatia在志愿活动中发现农村频繁停电影响儿童学习，决定解决此问题。他发明了一种可提供近10小时备用电源的灯泡，并以低价出售给偏远村庄。他还通过非政府组织向最贫困地区捐赠了灯泡，为无电家庭带去光明。Uday因此荣获2023年戴安娜奖。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In April 2022, Uday Bhatia, a student from Delhi, India, visited Bichpuri as a volunteer for a 2-day programme. During his stay, he found that the biggest problem the local children faced was repeated power cuts, which made it difficult for them to study.(2022年4月，来自印度德里的学生乌代·巴蒂亚作为志愿者访问了比奇普里，参加了一个为期两天的项目。在他逗留期间，他发现当地孩子面临的最大问题是反复停电，这使他们难以学习)”；第二段中“Uday came back to Delhi and took immediate action to address the problem.(乌代回到德里，立即采取行动解决这个问题)”和“After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup (备用) of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut.(经过24次尝试，这位18岁的年轻人终于找到了解决方案——Uday Electric——这种灯泡可以在停电的情况下提供近10小时的备用电力)”可知，是Uday的一次志愿者经历启发了他发明Uday Electric。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Uday sold each bulb at only 250 rupees (3 dollars) and has so far sold over 7,000 units in many remote villages.(乌代每个灯泡的售价仅为250卢比（合3美元），到目前为止，在许多偏远村庄已经售出了7000多只)”可知，Uday Electric的销量可观，说明乌代发明的灯泡是有效的，且价格便宜。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup (备用) of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut.(经过24次尝试，这位18岁的年轻人终于找到了解决方案——Uday Electric——这种灯泡可以在停电的情况下提供近10小时的备用电力)”以及倒数第二段“But what Uday did went beyond business; he donated 950 units to houses in the poorest areas through a non-governmental organisation, bringing joy to those living without electricity. “When I saw the joy on people’s faces when their houses were lit up, I felt on top of the world. No feeling could come close to it,” says Uday.(但乌代所做的不仅仅是生意；他通过一个非政府组织向最贫困地区的家庭捐赠了950套住房，给那些没有电的人带来了快乐。“当我看到人们的房子被点亮时脸上的喜悦时，我感到高兴极了。没有任何感觉可以接近它，”乌代说)”可知，Uday坚定且热心。故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其结合第二段中“He soon understood that residents of villages like Bichpuri couldn’t afford electrical devices. He wanted to find and develop a solution to rural India’s power shortage. After 24 attempts, the 18-year-old built the solution — Uday Electric — a bulb that can offer a power backup (备用) of almost 10 hours in case of a power cut.(他很快就明白，像比奇普里这样的村庄的居民买不起电器。他想找到并开发一种解决印度农村电力短缺的方法。经过24次尝试，这位18岁的年轻人终于找到了解决方案——Uday Electric——这种灯泡可以在停电的情况下提供近10小时的备用电源)”以及文章主要介绍了一个来自印度的年轻人Uday为了解决偏远地区频繁停电问题而发明了一种可以提供近10小时备用电源的灯泡，并低价出售给偏远村庄的人，甚至捐赠给最贫困地区的家庭。所以“少年的好主意照亮了印度农村”能概括出文章的中心思想，最适合作文章标题。故选A项。 C Groundhog (土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early. Curiously, Phil is not alone. In the region around Milan, tradition has it that if the bear comes out of his hole on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, he will be able to make himself a nice dry bed and then he’ll want to keep on sleeping. This will show that the winter will continue. But if it’s a rainy day, the bear will have to stay out — and spring will come soon. “These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That’s why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad. “The idea is that the darkest moment, when everything seems to go wrong, is when we experience a rebirth, a new life,” explains Righetto. There is a thought that life comes from darkness, just as plants start to grow from the seeds left underground during winter. This thought is so powerful that it crossed countries and survived centuries. These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem — they help you live through the hard times of life. In a way, if we can believe in the magical powers of groundhogs and bears, we might find even a longer winter a bit warmer and friendlier. 8. What can we learn from paragraph 1? A. Animals are cleverer than humans. B. The groundhog dislikes his shadow. C. The bear prefers to sleep in the dry bed. D. A sunny Groundhog Day means a longer winter. 9. What does the second paragraph talk about? A. The origin of the traditions. B. The nature of the world. C. The laws of the nature. D. Indo-European civilizations. 10. Which is a benefit of these traditions? A. They can prevent bad weather. B. They can provide emotional support. C. They can solve the real problem. D. They can exercise magical powers. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the idea behind the traditions? A. Doubtful. B. Puzzled. C. Respectful. D. Uncertain. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文。介绍“土拨鼠日”的传统及意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Groundhog (土拨鼠) Day falls on February 2! Every year on this day, a crowd gathers in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania to see whether a groundhog named Phil will come out of his hole. If the sun is shining and he sees his shadow before going back into his hole, it means winter will last six more weeks. But if the day is cloudy and he remains outside, spring will come early.(土拨鼠日是2月2日!每年的这一天，一群人聚集在宾夕法尼亚州的Punxsutawney，看一只名叫Phil的土拨鼠是否会从它的洞里出来。如果阳光明媚，它在回到洞穴前看到自己的影子，那就意味着冬天还要再持续六个星期)”可知，阳光明媚的土拨鼠日(2月2日)意味着更长的冬天。故选D。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段““These traditions can be traced back to Indo-European civilizations 3,000-5,000 years ago,” says Venetian historian Elena Righetto. “That’s why they are spread all over Europe,” she explains. The deepest meaning of the tradition, according to Righetto, is in its seemingly contradictory (矛盾的) nature. It might seem illogical (不合逻辑的) that cold days mean the coming of spring, or that groundhogs and bears would decide to stay out just when the weather is bad.(“这些传统可以追溯到公元前3000年至5000年的印欧文明，”威尼斯历史学家埃琳娜·里格里托说。“这就是为什么它们遍布欧洲，”她解释道。根据里格里托的说法，这一传统最深层次的意义在于其看似矛盾的本质。它可能看起来不合逻辑，寒冷的日子意味着春天的到来，或者土拨鼠和熊在天气不好的时候决定出门)”可知，该段讲述了动物预测天气的起源及背后的互相矛盾的逻辑根源。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem—they help you live through the hard times of life.(这些传统并不能保护人们免受恶劣天气、死亡或疾病的影响，但它们在情感上保护人们免受与即将到来的现实有关的一些焦虑。它们不能解决真正的问题，但能解决心理问题——它们能帮助你度过人生的艰难时期)”可知，这些传统给人们提供了情感支持。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“These traditions don’t protect people from bad weather, death, or illness, but they protect them emotionally from some of the anxiety related to those coming realities. They don’t solve the real problem, but they solve the mental problem—they help you live through the hard times of life.

His past projects include “Bioluminescent (生物发光) Trees” to light streets, a “Smog-Free Tower” to clean Beijing’s polluted air and “Gates of Light”, which uses the headlamps of passing cars to light up the 60 floodgates of the Afsluitdijk, a major dam in the Netherlands. Now, he is hoping to use his skills to solve a pressing global problem — space junk (垃圾)! Scientists guess that there are over 500,000 pieces of large rubbish. To deal with the problem, Roosegaarde intends to achieve his goal by educating the public about the need of the situation and coming up with possible solutions. The plan, called the Space Waste Lab, started in October 2018 with a laser (激光) show in the Netherlands. The unique outdoor artwork of LEDs used real-time tracking information to point at pieces of space junk floating at heights of 200 to 20,000 kilometers. The experience was designed to make the public know more about how much space junk there are. To find a solution, the designer has been thinking with experts. One of the projects being considered is “Shooting Stars”, which attempts to reintroduce the trash to the atmosphere in a controlled way. Upon returning planetside, the waste would burn in the atmosphere like a shooting star. Roosegaarde envisages that, if successful, burning space waste could someday replace fireworks at large public events! Not just about cleaning up space, Roosegaarde sees this as an opportunity to deal with another issue at the same time. “The Netherlands spends € 70 million on fireworks every year,” says Roosegaarde. “There’s a lot of damage, they can be dangerous and there’s also a lot of pollution. Working with the scientific department at the European Space Agency, we have produced a new type of practical experience that both cleans up space and offers a new form of performance,” he adds. 12. What can we infer about Daan Roosegaarde? A. He is too eager to put forward good plans. B. He is creative in solving environmental problems. C. He is fond of spending all of his time seeking art skills. D. He is unfamiliar to art reflected in environmental projects. 13. Why was a laser show held in October 2018? A. To confirm real-Lime information about space waste. B. To show the great beauty of LEDs to common people. C. To raise public awareness of the amount of space waste. D. To inspire people to consider the solution to space waste. 14. What does the underlined word “envisages” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Imagines. B. Demands. C. Advises. D. Monitors. 15. What does Roosegaarde think of the “Shooting Stars” project? A. It causes a lot of damage. B. It has little artistic value. C. It is a waste of money. D. It will bring more benefits. 【答案】12. B 13.

Today I’d like to talk about the importance of body language. Studies have shown that in the process of communication, nonverbal expression has more influence than actual words. This means that “how to say it” is more important than “what to say”. Body language is an indicator of a person’s attitude, enthusiasm, emotion, and personality. It helps us to interpret the whole message of what someone is trying to deliver and to enhance our understanding of people’s reactions to what we say and do. Only by recognizing the importance of body language can it be better used in our communication. Thanks! 【解析】 【导语】本文书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“肢体语言在沟通中的重要性”为题，写一篇英文发言稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 重要性：importance→ significance 影响：influence→ effect 热情：enthusiasm→ passion 提高：enhance→ improve 2.句式拓展 同义句替换 原句：Studies have shown that in the process of communication, nonverbal expression has more influence than actual words. 同义句：It has been shown by studies that nonverbal expression holds more sway than actual words during the process of communication. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Studies have shown that in the process of communication, nonverbal expression has more influence than actual words.

The only thing that I don’t like is deciding on the guest list. When I was in elementary school my mom would tell me the maximum number of friends that I could invite and it was always a number too small for my list. I also liked all different kinds of people. I never quite fit into one of the many little groups at my school, so I just kind of floated around, gathering friends from many backgrounds. There was an “in” crowd made up of the cool kids who had the power to rule the school — if a cool kid wore two different colored socks to school one day, everyone thought it was great. But if an uncool kid did the same thing, the other kids would turn away in disgust (厌恶). It made getting dressed in the morning a very scary thing. Shannon was one of my friends who seemed to unknowingly break the rules of uncoolness all the time. I don’t know why she was targeted, but people found it acceptable to make fun of her. Shannon was a nice girl and wore pretty clothes, but was somewhat overweight and didn’t talk much. She was laughed at a lot. Whenever there was a strange noise or smell in the classroom the kids would laugh and point at her. Shannon never said anything, but it made me feel sick inside. Shannon was innocent (无辜的), I thought. One year, to celebrate my birthday, my mom told me I could have a party at our house. I struggled for days deciding on which girls to invite. Once I had chosen all the names, I made the invitations and handed them out to my friends at school. “Why did you invite her?” asked one of my cool friends when it was discovered that I had invited Shannon. She pressured me to tell her not to come. There were other people I could add in her place who would be more acceptable. 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。 Unsure what to do, I was put in a difficult situation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few weeks after the party, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for my invitation. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Unsure what to do, I was put in a difficult situation. I liked Shannon, yet I was afraid that I would become the target of the children’s ridicule if I insisted on inviting Shannon to my party. I knew the right thing to do, but I struggled with the fear of having to live with my decision. Finally, my consciousness took over. I decided not to say anything to Shannon and let the invitations stay as written, despite the fact that I was worried about what would happen. Luckily, the party worked out well, with all of us having fun together. A few weeks after the party, Shannon suddenly called to thank me for my invitation. She said my invitation brightened her days. Shannon cherished the memory of that birthday party. It was important to her that I had welcomed her into the fun, and it was a day when she felt accepted and part of a group. She talked about the games we played and the cake we ate, remembering all the details. For me, it was just a simple party. But for Shannon, it was a signal of acceptance. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在上初中时顶着朋友的压力，在自己的生日晚会上邀请了不受大家欢迎的Shannon的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不知道该怎么做，我陷入了困境。”可知，第一段可描写作者在经历过内心的挣扎之后，决定顶着被嘲笑的压力邀请Shannon。 ②由第二段首句内容“聚会结束几个星期后，Shannon突然打电话来感谢我的邀请”可知，第二段可描写Shannon来电致谢的主要内容以及作者的感想。 2.续写线索：作者害怕被嘲笑——在恐惧中挣扎——最终邀请了Shannon——Shannon表示作者的邀请使她的生活充满了欢乐——Shannon感到自己被接受 3.词汇激活 行类 ①嘲笑：ridicule/make fun of ②挣扎：struggle/flounder ③照亮，变快活：brighten/light up 情绪类 ①害怕的：afraid/fearful ②接受：accepted/embraced 【点睛】[高分句型1] I decided not to say anything to Shannon and let the invitations stay as written, despite the fact that I was worried about what would happen.（运用了that引导同位语从句） [高分句型2] It was important to her that I had welcomed her into the fun, and it was a day when she felt accepted and part of a group.（运用了“it为形式主语，that引导主语从句”结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
