But the most powerful thing is that the children will associate learning with fun. That means they will grow into adults with a thirst for knowledge and a highly developed set of skills for learning. Here are some of the best: Science Kit You can guarantee two things if you buy your kids one: a lot of fun and a lot of mess. It’s a 20-piece kit that teaches the basics of chemical reactions. It’s recommended for kids aged 6 and above, with adult company. You don’t have to be a scientist, since there is an activity book with instructions for possible experiments. Mini Terra Kit You don’t have to wait for the sun to come out to teach kids about the natural world. This all-inclusive kit is a miniature garden that simulates a natural environment by using a powerful LED light. It includes a terrarium jar, light-up jar lid, Micro USB charger, and all the natural ingredients to get started. It also has a simple instruction booklet that you can work through with your kids. Gravity Run This classic is not just about building a structure and watching the marbles go up and down. The games are designed for kids aged 8+ to develop spatial awareness, planning, and reasoning. With 60 challenges (beginner to expert), this award-winning game can be enjoyed by all the family. The expert levels are actually quite challenging, so be prepared for some failures. WeRo Kit This prize-winning robot toy features over 840 pieces, a WeRo Move Hub, Interactive Moto, and a Distance Sensor. You can build it into 5 completely different robots, meaning endless fun for the kids and even adults.

B A Texas woman says that she took two kittens (小猫) into her home, only to discover that they were not housecats. Jane Dinscore, her sister and her niece were bitten on the hands while trying to feed them. “I think they started doing a little bit more research and thinking. These don’t look like standard housecats. Maybe we should call somebody. Thankfully, they did. San Antonio Animal Care Services (ACS) spokeswoman Lisa Norwood told local TV station KENS 5 on Monday. But Jane Dinscore has changed her story since the news broke on Monday. Originally, she told the authorities she found the kittens in an alleyway (小巷) in San Antonio. Now she says she received the kittens from her brother, James Dinscore, in rural Atascosa County. However, she maintains that she believed the kittens were pet cats. She says she took the kittens home and called ACS after they began biting her and her relatives. She says she lied at first about their origin in the interest of her brother. ACS and Texas State Parks and Wildlife are working together to determine if the situation deserves any criminal charges for disturbing wildlife, according to USA Today. The animals are now under the care of Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation in San Antonio. The group hopes to eventually release the bobcats in a safe area. In general, wild animals should be left in the wild. If you suspect a problem with a wild animal or believe you have found one that’s sick, injured or abandoned, call a local wildlife center or animal control organization. And if you believe an animal you’ve found is a lost pet, you may take it to an animal shelter or a rescue group. 4. What happened to Jane Dinscore? A. She was attacked by her kittens. B. She was interviewed by KENS 5. C. She was accused of disturbing wildlife. D. She was forced to live in Atascosa County. 5. Why did Jane Dinscore tell a lie at first? A. She was sure her kittens were housecats. B. She was told to keep everything a secret. C. She was unwilling to cause her brother trouble. D. She was afraid her kittens would be taken away. 6. How will Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation in San Antonio deal with the bobcats? A. Set them free in the wild. B. Send them to a pet shelter. C. Help them find their mother. D. Raise them until they are adopted. 7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph? A. To arouse curiosity. B. To invite comments. C. To make predictions. D. To provide suggestions. C In 1973, when Melissa Greene was in 6th grade, her parents bought the first apartment on Hutchinson Island on the southeastern Atlantic cast. The first time she and her siblings ran down to the wild shore, they were shocked by the seashells there. Every tide left a wrack line of seashells. Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds the large, undamaged shells that were common in her childhood. “It’s a shocking difference,” she says, “what you don’t see any more are the deep piles of whole shells, quarter-sized and above, and the largest shells that we saw for years.” Among the most admirable natural objects throughout human history, seashells contain both the surprise and wonder still promised by a trip to the beach and the profound changes underway on our coasts. Some of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (软体动物) have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures and acidifying waters and by other pollution. They can be reduced by the severe erosion-a persistent problem on Hutchinson Island. With beaches seeing record tourism numbers more people can mean fewer shells. “It is not as much individual collecting as the many ramifications of massive tourism,” says the paleo-biologist Michal Kowalewski at the Florida Museum of Natural History.“Mass tourism means more boats, more beach maintenance, more machinery, all contributing to changes in shorelines.” Over twenty years ago, Sanibel became the first city in the U.S. to ban the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. Delaware’s state parks are among increasing numbers of state and national parks taking so-called low-impact beachcombing a step further: Asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At Delaware Seashore State Park, signs advise visitors to “Leave shells where they lay or snap a photo of a marine critter in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is because it is in a natural state.” 8. Why is the story of Melissa Greene mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce readers to an Atlantic coast. B. To share Melissa’s attitude towards shells. C. To show an ocean village’s development. D. To lead in the topic of seashells’ disappearance. 9. How does the author state the reasons for the great decline of mollusks? A. By comparing different conclusions. B. By collecting the supporting data. C. By listing the related factors. D. By quoting the opinions of experts. 10. What does the underlined word ramifications in paragraph 3 mean? A. Consequences. B. Industries. C. Branches D. Benefits. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The common phenomenon of shell collecting. B. Different measures taken to protect the seashells. C. Future anticipation of seashells’ condition. D The effectiveness of bans on seashells’ development. D Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise. According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not. Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates. Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility. Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise. While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. 12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes? A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded. B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways. C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small. D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics. 13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims? A. They are supported by comprehensive data. B. They are based on limited driving environment. C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers. D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA． 14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving? A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed. C It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly. 15. Which title best summarizes the content of this text? A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Major Snow, the 21st solar term of the year, begins this year on Dec 7 and ends on Dec 20, marking the start of the season.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 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。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 资阳中学高2023级第四学期半期考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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.

Jane Dinscore, her sister and her niece were bitten on the hands while trying to feed them. “I think they started doing a little bit more research and thinking. These don’t look like standard housecats. Maybe we should call somebody. Thankfully, they did. San Antonio Animal Care Services (ACS) spokeswoman Lisa Norwood told local TV station KENS 5 on Monday. But Jane Dinscore has changed her story since the news broke on Monday. Originally, she told the authorities she found the kittens in an alleyway (小巷) in San Antonio. Now she says she received the kittens from her brother, James Dinscore, in rural Atascosa County. However, she maintains that she believed the kittens were pet cats. She says she took the kittens home and called ACS after they began biting her and her relatives. She says she lied at first about their origin in the interest of her brother. ACS and Texas State Parks and Wildlife are working together to determine if the situation deserves any criminal charges for disturbing wildlife, according to USA Today. The animals are now under the care of Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation in San Antonio. The group hopes to eventually release the bobcats in a safe area. In general, wild animals should be left in the wild. If you suspect a problem with a wild animal or believe you have found one that’s sick, injured or abandoned, call a local wildlife center or animal control organization. And if you believe an animal you’ve found is a lost pet, you may take it to an animal shelter or a rescue group. 4. What happened to Jane Dinscore? A. She was attacked by her kittens. B. She was interviewed by KENS 5. C. She was accused of disturbing wildlife. D. She was forced to live in Atascosa County. 5. Why did Jane Dinscore tell a lie at first? A. She was sure her kittens were housecats. B. She was told to keep everything a secret. C. She was unwilling to cause her brother trouble. D. She was afraid her kittens would be taken away. 6. How will Wildlife Rescue Rehabilitation in San Antonio deal with the bobcats? A. Set them free in the wild. B. Send them to a pet shelter. C. Help them find their mother. D. Raise them until they are adopted. 7. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the last paragraph? A. To arouse curiosity. B. To invite comments. C. To make predictions. D. To provide suggestions. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了德克萨斯州的一名妇女说她把两只小猫带回家，却发现它们是山猫，最终山猫被野生动物救援康复中心接收，照顾，计划放归野外。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Jane Dinscore, her sister and her niece were bitten on the hands while trying to feed them.(简·丁斯克，她的妹妹和侄女在试图喂他们的时候被咬伤了手)”可知，在喂“猫”的时候Jane Dinscore被咬伤了手，即被猫攻击了。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“She says she lied at first about their origin in the interest of her brother.(她说，为了她哥哥，她一开始对它们的来历撒了谎)”可知，她刚开始的时候撒谎，是考虑到哥哥的利益，也就是不想给她哥哥找麻烦。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段最后一句“The group hopes to eventually release the bobcats in a safe area.(该组织希望最终将山猫释放到一个安全的区域)”可知，这个组织希望最后将山猫放归至安全的地方，即放归野外。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In general, wild animals should be left in the wild. If you suspect a problem with a wild animal or believe you have found one that’s sick, injured or abandoned, call a local wildlife center or animal control organization. And if you believe an animal, you’ve found is a lost pet, you may take it to an animal shelter or a rescue group.(一般来说，野生动物应该留在野外。如果你怀疑野生动物有问题，或者你认为你发现了一只生病、受伤或被遗弃的动物，打电话给当地的野生动物中心或动物控制组织。如果你相信你找到的动物是一只走失的宠物，你可以把它带到动物收容所或救援组织)”可知，最后主要是告诉人们野生动物应该生存在野外不被打扰，并告诉人们遇到了野生动物或宠物该如何处理，所以最后一段的目的是提供建议。故选D。 C In 1973, when Melissa Greene was in 6th grade, her parents bought the first apartment on Hutchinson Island on the southeastern Atlantic cast. The first time she and her siblings ran down to the wild shore, they were shocked by the seashells there. Every tide left a wrack line of seashells. Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds the large, undamaged shells that were common in her childhood. “It’s a shocking difference,” she says, “what you don’t see any more are the deep piles of whole shells, quarter-sized and above, and the largest shells that we saw for years.” Among the most admirable natural objects throughout human history, seashells contain both the surprise and wonder still promised by a trip to the beach and the profound changes underway on our coasts. Some of the largest and best-known marine mollusks (软体动物) have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures and acidifying waters and by other pollution. They can be reduced by the severe erosion-a persistent problem on Hutchinson Island. With beaches seeing record tourism numbers, more people can mean fewer shells. “It is not as much individual collecting as the many ramifications of massive tourism,” says the paleo-biologist Michal Kowalewski at the Florida Museum of Natural History.“Mass tourism means more boats, more beach maintenance, more machinery, all contributing to changes in shorelines.” Over twenty years ago, Sanibel became the first city in the U.S. to ban the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. Delaware’s state parks are among increasing numbers of state and national parks taking so-called low-impact beachcombing a step further: Asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. At Delaware Seashore State Park, signs advise visitors to “Leave shells where they lay or snap a photo of a marine critter in the sand. After all, the point of enjoying nature is because it is in a natural state.” 8. Why is the story of Melissa Greene mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To introduce readers to an Atlantic coast. B. To share Melissa’s attitude towards shells. C. To show an ocean village’s development. D. To lead in the topic of seashells’ disappearance. 9. How does the author state the reasons for the great decline of mollusks? A. By comparing different conclusions. B By collecting the supporting data. C. By listing the related factors. D. By quoting the opinions of experts. 10. What does the underlined word ramifications in paragraph 3 mean? A. Consequences. B. Industries. C. Branches D. Benefits. 11. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The common phenomenon of shell collecting. B. Different measures taken to protect the seashells. C. Future anticipation of seashells’ condition. D. The effectiveness of bans on seashells’ development. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。作者主要介绍了软体动物逐渐消失这一现象、原因以及应对措施。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。由文第一段第四句“Today, on the same stretch of beach, she rarely finds the large, undamaged shells that were common in her childhood.”（今天，在同一片海滩上，她很少发现童年时常见的未损坏的大贝壳。）结合下文提到贝壳消失的原因等可知，作者讲述Melissa Greene故事的目的是引出贝壳消失这一话题，故选D项。 9题详解】 推理判断题。由文第二段最后三句“Some of the largest and best-known marine mollusks have declined under fishing pressure. They are also harmed by rising ocean temperatures and acidifying waters and by other pollution. They can be reduced by the severe erosion-a persistent problem on Hutchinson Island.”（一些最大和最著名的海洋软体动物在捕鱼压力下有所下降。它们还受到海洋温度上升、海水酸化和其他污染的危害。它们可以通过严重的侵蚀来减少——这是哈钦森岛上一个持续存在的问题。）可知，作者通过列举出一些相关的因素来指出软体动物减少的原因，故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。由文第三段最后一句“Mass tourism means more boats, more beach maintenance, more machinery, all contributing to changes in shorelines.”（团队旅游意味着更多的船只、更多的海滩维护、更多的机械，所有这些都导致海岸线的变化。）可知，这些都是团队旅游带来的后果。由此猜测，划线意为“后果”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文末段一二句“Over twenty years ago, Sanibel became the first city in the U.S. to ban the practice of collecting and killing mollusks for their shells. Delaware’s state parks are among increasing numbers of state and national parks taking so-called low-impact beachcombing a step further: Asking visitors to leave empty shells alone, too. ”（20多年前，萨尼贝尔成为美国第一个禁止采集和杀死软体动物以获取贝壳的城市。特拉华州的州立公园是越来越多的采取措施的州立公园和国家公园之一，它们进一步采取了所谓的低影响海滩清理措施：要求游客也不要理会空壳。）可知，本段主要介绍不同的保护软体动物的措施，故选B项。 D Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. Despite Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s claim that their Autopilot capability makes their cars “ extremely safer,” data suggests otherwise. According to The Washington Post, the number of deaths and serious injuries associated with Tesla’s driver-assistance technology is higher than previously reported. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recorded 736 crashes since 2019, with at least 17 of them being fatal. These figures include crashes involving both Autopilot, which allows cars to drive on highways without human intervention(干预), and the newer Full Self-Driving feature, which extends automation to city streets. However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. Additionally, when compared to the total number of car crashes that occurred last year, the number of crashes involving driver-assistance vehicles appears relatively small, but actually it’s not. Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. Moreover, Tesla’s customer base consists mainly of wealthier individuals who live in communities with lower accident rates. Concerns are raised by Tesla’s request to the NHTSA not to reveal whether Autopilot or Full Self-Driving was in use during fatal crashes. This lack of transparency (透明) prevents a comprehensive analysis of the incidents and raises questions about responsibility. Safety exaggerations combined with Tesla’s aggressive marketing have led to accidents caused by drivers relying too heavily on the system. Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. However, Tesla’s messaging may mislead some users into believing otherwise. While a driverless future has the potential to be safer, it is crucial not to convince the public that underdeveloped capabilities are ready for widespread use. Tesla should address past problems, ensure their automation set can detect(检测) emergency vehicles, and be transparent with the public about the limitations of their technology. 12. What can we learn about Tesla’s driver-assistance-related crashes? A. 736 fatal cases of self-driving are recorded. B. NHTSA focused on the crashes on highways. C. The total number of car crashes is extremely small. D. The incidents avoided are not counted in the crash statistics. 13. What can be inferred about Tesla’s safety claims? A. They are supported by comprehensive data. B. They are based on limited driving environment. C. They are restricted to the experiences of satisfied customers. D. They have been proven to be accurate and reliable by NHTSA． 14. What can we know about Full Self-Driving? A. It is ill-received. B. It is well-developed. C. It needs the driver to stay focused. D. It reduces the accidents greatly. 15 Which title best summarizes the content of this text? A. Concerns and Questions Surrounding Tesla’s “Self-Driving” Cars B. Tesla’s Self-Driving Cars: The Safest Option of Driving on the Road C. The Future of Self-Driving Cars: A Closer Look at Tesla’s Technology D. Reconstruction and Revolution of Tesla’s Autopilot and Full Self-Driving 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和质疑。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“However, these statistics can’t record incidents that were avoided due to the cars’ safety features. (然而，这些统计数据并不能记录由于汽车的安全特性而避免的事故。)”可知，避免的事故没有被计入撞车统计。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Tesla’s safety claims lack context as Autopilot is primarily designed for highways, while most accidents occur in more complex environments with cross-traffic, pedestrians, and cyclists. (特斯拉的安全声明缺乏背景，因为自动驾驶仪主要是为高速公路设计的，而大多数事故发生在更复杂的环境中，有交叉交通、行人和骑自行车的人。)”可知，特斯拉的安全声明是基于有限的驾驶环境的。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Full Self-Driving does not allow the car to fully drive itself, and drivers are expected to remain attentive and ready to intervene at all times. (全自动驾驶不允许汽车完全自动驾驶，司机需要保持注意力，随时准备干预。)”可知，全自动驾驶需要司机保持专注。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Tesla’s self-driving cars have recently come under investigation as a report on crashes raises questions about their safety. (特斯拉的自动驾驶汽车最近受到调查，因为一份关于车祸的报告引发了对其安全性的质疑。)”可知，本文主要讲述了围绕特斯拉“自动驾驶”汽车的担忧和质疑。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Major Snow, the 21st solar term of the year, begins this year on Dec 7 and ends on Dec 20, marking the start of the season.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 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。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
