B When she was younger, Julia Foland wanted to learn another language. “I tried taking Spanish in school and I tried to self-study French. However, these languages didn't seem to match with me. I couldn't really find passion in studying them, ” she said. “A friend of mine took Korean classes when she attended college, and hearing her stories about studying Korean was the main motivation for me to start. ” After high school, Foland took a gap year before continuing her education. She came to College of DuPage because her mother talked about how much she loved it. When she visited the campus, she was attracted by the Korean language program. Finally, Foland connected with another language. She enjoyed it so much that she entered the Midwest Korean Speech Contest, encouraged by her instructor, Miran Lee. “Thanks to Mr. Lee, by the day of the contest I had gained so much confidence. I couldn't believe it when they announced me as the winner. ” Foland received a scholarship to attend the Sungkyunkwan University Korean Language Center in Seoul. She attended classes taught entirely in Korean and found the intensive study a perfect opportunity to improve her skills. “I was the only Western student in my class. Most of my friends couldn't speak English, so we had to communicate only through Korean. I feel like this was a huge reason why my Korean skills improved. I think I've even improved in expressing myself in English. I've gained a lot more confidence when interacting with others and I realized how much I like harmonizing with people. I also realized how much interest I have in people different from me, because there's truly so much to learn from them. ” For anyone interested in studying languages, Foland said, “Don't hesitate. Language programs are an excellent way to start your journey and familiarize yourself with your chosen language. ” 4. What motivated Foland to start learning Korean? A. Her mother's impact on him. B. Her teacher's encouragement. C. A friend's relevant experiences. D. A desire to learn about another country. 5. How did Foland feel about the result of the Midwest Korean Speech Contest? A. Amazed. B. Dismissive. C. Confident. D. Disappointed. 6. How did learning Korean benefit Foland? A. She became more outgoing. B. Her sociability was enhanced. C. Her English level was improved. D. She would have more choices. 7. What's Foland's suggestion for language lovers? A. Engage in learning via language programs. B. Travel abroad and learn by experience. C. Avoid self-studying a foreign language. D. Take a gap year to learn a new language. C Glass might soon meet a surprising competitor: bamboo. Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that repels fire and water, and reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand. While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo. Clear wood, made by removing a natural substance called lignin and adding plastic-like materials, has been seen as a good renewable option. It is lighter than glass and better at keeping heat out. However, its tendency to catch fire and the slow growth rate of trees make it hard to produce in large amounts. To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4-7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees. The team applied the methods developed for making wood see-through to bamboo, which has a similar chemical makeup. Specifically, by removing lignin which makes plants look solid and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. The final material showed impressive strength, outshining many common plastics. Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn't catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells (a type of energy technology), it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. While making this material in large amounts still needs work, this discovery supports environmental goals. 8. What does the underlined word “repels” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A Resists. B. Conducts. C. Absorbs. D. Attracts. 9. How did the researchers make bamboo see-through? A By dividing bamboo into three parts. B. By adding plastic-like materials and water. C. By applying the technique for making glass. D. By removing lignin and filling it with sodium silicate. 10. What can be learned about clear bamboo from the text? A. It is not as strong as common plastics. B. It can only be used for building windows. C. It offers potential for both building and energy fields. D. It is less environmentally friendly than traditional glass. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The process of making clear wood. B. The disadvantages of traditional glass. C. A new environmentally friendly material. D. The application of clear bamboo in solar cells. D The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning. Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits. New “multimodal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming. The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions. That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways. So long as robots’ brains are not confusing black boxes programming and debugging (排错) them is fairly straightforward. The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match. Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 12. Why are people concerned about robots? A. They can raise unemployment rates. B. They are replacing low-paid labor. C. They might become killers. D. They are hard to control. 13. What is the strength of new “multimodal” AI models? A. Interacting with other robots. B. Replacing human workers completely. C. Being free from reprogramming. D. Comprehending spoken commands. 14. What causes the new models to be more reliable? A. Their logic reasoning. B. Their debugging ability. C. Their reality-based perception. D. Their detailed observation. 15. What does the author think of robots in an aging society? A. They benefit the elderly most. B. They contribute to social harmony. C. They speed technological innovation. D. They sustain labor productivity. 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。 Owning a pet isn’t just about companionship.

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day. “Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her. “Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out. Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children. 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。 Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later, the police and another car approached. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 三明一中2024-2025学年下学期半期考 高二英语试卷 (试卷满分150分，考试时长 120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考生号等填写在答题卡上。考生要认真核对答题卡上的信息。 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，用黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上书写作答。如在试卷上作答，答案无效。 3.考试结束后，监考员将答题卡收回。 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.

Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that repels fire and water, and reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand. While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo. Clear wood, made by removing a natural substance called lignin and adding plastic-like materials, has been seen as a good renewable option. It is lighter than glass and better at keeping heat out. However, its tendency to catch fire and the slow growth rate of trees make it hard to produce in large amounts. To solve this, researchers at Central South University of Forestry and Technology focused on bamboo, which grows fully in 4-7 years and produces four times more material per farm area compared to trees. The team applied the methods developed for making wood see-through to bamboo, which has a similar chemical makeup. Specifically, by removing lignin which makes plants look solid and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. A final water-blocking treatment created three layers: a protective outer coating, a middle layer of silicon dioxide (a common glass ingredient), and a base layer of sodium silicate. The final material showed impressive strength, outshining many common plastics. Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn't catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells (a type of energy technology), it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. While making this material in large amounts still needs work, this discovery supports environmental goals. 8 What does the underlined word “repels” in paragraph 1 probably mean? A. Resists. B. Conducts. C. Absorbs. D. Attracts. 9. How did the researchers make bamboo see-through? A. By dividing bamboo into three parts. B. By adding plastic-like materials and water. C. By applying the technique for making glass. D. By removing lignin and filling it with sodium silicate. 10. What can be learned about clear bamboo from the text? A. It is not as strong as common plastics. B. It can only be used for building windows. C. It offers potential for both building and energy fields. D. It is less environmentally friendly than traditional glass. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The process of making clear wood. B. The disadvantages of traditional glass. C. A new environmentally friendly material. D. The application of clear bamboo in solar cells. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国科学家研发的透明竹子材料，探讨其特性、制作方法及应用潜力，为传统玻璃提供了环保替代品。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词句“Scientists in China have transformed regular bamboo into a see-through material that repels fire and waterand reduces smoke, providing an environmentally friendly replacement for traditional glass made from sand.(中国科学家已经将普通的竹子转化为一种透明材料，这种材料可以repels火和水，并减少烟雾，为传统的沙制玻璃提供了一种环保的替代品)”可知，竹子转化的透明材料能减少烟雾，说明它能阻挡火和水，从而推知划线词应为“阻挡”的意思，与A项同义。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Specifically, by removing lignin which makes plants look solid and filling the bamboo fibers with a glass-like liquid called sodium silicate, they changed how light passes through the material, achieving 71.6% clearness. (具体来说，通过去除使植物看起来不透明的木质素，并在竹纤维中填充一种名为硅酸钠的玻璃状液体，他们改变了光线通过材料的方式，实现了 71.6% 的透明度。)”可知，研究人员通过去除木质素，并在竹纤维中填充硅酸钠，改变光线传播方式，使竹子透明的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Importantly, the clear bamboo showed special fire safety features. Unlike wood-based materials, it didn't catch fire easily, blocked water, and stopped dangerous smoke and gases from spreading — key benefits for building use. When tested as a base for advanced solar cells (a type of energy technology), it helped control light better, increasing energy production by 15.29%. This double role suggests it could be used in smart buildings that use sunlight for lighting while creating clean energy. (重要的是，透明竹子显示出特殊的消防安全特性。与木质材料不同，它不易着火，能阻挡水，并阻止危险烟雾和气体的扩散——这些都是建筑使用中的关键优势。当作为先进太阳能电池（一种能源技术）的基底进行测试时，它能更好地控制光线，使能源产量增加了15.29%。这种双重作用表明，它可以用于智能建筑，这些建筑利用阳光进行照明，同时创造清洁能源。)”可知，透明竹子既适用于建筑（防火、防水等特性），又能用于太阳能电池（提升能源效率），在建筑和能源领域均有应用潜力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，根据第一段中“While glass is still widely used in buildings for its clearness, its tendency to break easily, heavy weight and environmental impact have pushed researchers to look for other materials like clear wood — and now bamboo.(虽然玻璃因其清洁性仍被广泛用于建筑中，但它容易破碎、重量大以及对环境的影响，促使研究人员寻找其他材料，如透明木材——现在是竹子。)”可知，全文围绕透明竹子的研发、优势及多领域应用展开，核心是介绍一种新型环保材料。选项C“一种新的环保材料”最能概括文章主旨大意。故选C项。 D The robots are coming! In science fiction that is usually a terrible warning. Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. Nevertheless, the latest advances in robotics will bring real and fundamental benefits. New “multimodal” AI models combine understanding of language and vision with data. This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming. The new models enable robots to explain the reasoning behind their actions. That is useful when they behave in unexpected or unwelcome ways. So long as robots’ brains are not confusing black boxes, programming and debugging (排错) them is fairly straightforward. The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match. Labour markets across the rich world are tight — and getting tighter as societies age. Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later. In the coming years, attitudes could well change from fearing the arrival of robots to wishing that they would get here sooner. 12. Why are people concerned about robots? A. They can raise unemployment rates. B. They are replacing low-paid labor. C. They might become killers. D. They are hard to control. 13. What is the strength of new “multimodal” AI models? A. Interacting with other robots. B. Replacing human workers completely. C. Being free from reprogramming. D. Comprehending spoken commands. 14. What causes the new models to be more reliable? A. Their logic reasoning. B. Their debugging ability. C. Their reality-based perception. D. Their detailed observation. 15. What does the author think of robots in an aging society? A. They benefit the elderly most. B. They contribute to social harmony. C. They speed technological innovation. D. They sustain labor productivity. 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了在科幻小说中，机器人来了通常是一个可怕的警告。然而，在现实生活中，机器人虽然可能使工厂和仓库中的高薪工作消失，但机器人技术的最新进展将给社会带来真实而重大的益处。 12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Even if we know robots are not literally the murderous machines of films in which the inventor loses control of his creation, they can inspire fear. In the real world, they are able to kill off well-paid jobs in factories and warehouses. (即使我们知道，机器人并不是电影中发明者失去控制的杀人机器，它们也会引发恐惧。在现实世界中，他们能够扼杀工厂和仓库中的高薪工作)” 可知，人们担心机器人的原因是它们会使越来越多的高薪工作消失，导致失业率上升。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“This makes it possible to deal with robots using ordinary words. You can ask a robot what it is able to see or tell it to “pick up the yellow fruit”. Such models in effect allow robots a degree of common sense — in this case, knowing that a nearby banana is a kind of yellow fruit. You can tell a robot to adjust its behaviour simply by changing an instruction, something that would previously have required complicated reprogramming.(这使得使用普通单词处理机器人成为可能。你可以问机器人它能看到什么，或者告诉它“捡起黄色的水果”。这样的模型实际上让机器人有了一定程度的常识——在这种情况下，机器人知道附近的香蕉是一种黄色的水果。你可以告诉机器人通过改变指令来调整其行为，这在以前需要复杂的重新编程)”可知，多模态AI模型的优势在于它们使机器人能够理解口头命令。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“The new models are also less likely to make things up, as the way they perceive things is rooted in observations of the world, and they aim to ensure that cognitive and physical reality match.(新模型也不太可能编造事实，因为它们感知事物的方式是建立在对世界的观察基础上的，它们的目标是确保认知和物理现实相匹配)” 可推知，新模型感知事物的方式是基于对世界的观察的，所以不太可能编造东西，会更可靠。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Advanced economies will need more automation if they are to maintain their standards of living as they are aging rapidly. Without robots to help out, more people may have to work longer and retire later.(发达经济体正在迅速老龄化，如果要维持其生活水平，就需要更多的自动化。如果没有机器人的帮助，更多的人可能不得不延长工作时间，推迟退休)”可推知，作者认为在老龄化社会中，机器人有助于维持劳动生产力。故选D。 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。 Owning a pet isn’t just about companionship.

With 41. themselves 42. were built 43. to admire 44. movable##moveable 45. providing 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了桃坪羌寨因其典型的羌族风格建筑和复杂的道路结构，被誉为 “神秘的东方古堡”。 【36题详解】 考查并列连词。句意：桃坪羌寨因其典型的羌族风格建筑和复杂的道路结构而闻名。“typical Qiang-style architecture”与“complicated road structure”为并列关系，作“because of”的宾语，故用连词and连接。故填and。 【37题详解】 考查名词。句意：这个建筑群是石塔与房屋的结合体。定冠词“the”后需接名词，“combine”的名词形式为combination，表示“结合体”。故填combination。 【38题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：它们由泥土、石头、麻和木材建造而成，其中一些仅用泥土和木材建造。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制性定语从句，此处考查“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句，先行词为They，指物，故用关系代词which引导从句，作宾语。故填which。 【39题详解】 考查副词。句意：这些建造坚固的碉楼和房屋在多次地震后仍保存完好。修饰过去分词 “built”需用副词，“solid”的副词形式为solidly，表示 “坚固地”。故填solidly。 【40题详解】 考查介词。句意：由于一些房屋建在这些小巷上方，更多的小巷出现了，使得整个小巷结构更加复杂。根据some houses constructed over those alleyways可知，此处考查with复合结构“with+宾语+过去分词”，句首字母大写。故填With。 【41题详解】 考查反身代词。句意：走在小巷里，人们感觉自己仿佛穿越了时空。主语 “people”与宾语为同一主体，需用反身代词themselves作宾语，强调“他们自身”。故填themselves。 【42题详解】 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。句意：令人惊叹的是，桃坪碉楼当时在没有任何图纸和测量的情况下建造而成，但却结构良好、坚固且独特。由“then”可知动作发生在过去，且动词build与主语the Taoping Watchtowers之间为被动关系，故用一般过去时的被动语态。主谓一致，故填were built。 【43题详解】 考查动词不定式。句意：这些碉楼是世界建筑史上的奇迹，吸引了众多来自国内外的游客前来观赏。“admire them”是游客来此的目的，故用不定式to admire作目的状语。故填to admire。 【44题详解】 考查形容词。句意：每隔一定距离就放置了一些可移动的石头，帮助人们轻松取水。修饰名词stones需用形容词，“move”的形容词形式为movable或moveable，表示“可移动的”。故填movable/moveable。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：这些方便又隐蔽的水渠构成了一个通向每座瞭望塔的水网，为村民提供了广阔的生活空间，尤其是在战争期间。该句的谓语动词是serve，且无连词，应用非谓语动词。动词provide与其逻辑主语water channels之间存在主动关系，应用现在分词作伴随状语。故填providing。 第四部分 写作 (共两节，满分40分) 第一节 (满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友 David将要参加他所在学校举办的中国诗歌朗诵比赛(the Chinese Poetry Recitation Competition)，特发邮件向你咨询一些备赛方面的建议。请你回复邮件，内容包括： 1. 表示支持；2. 提出相关建议；3. 表达希望和祝愿。 注意： 1. 词数应为80左右，开头结尾已给出，不计入总词数； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear David _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours sincerely, Li Hua 【答案】Dear David, I was thrilled to learn that you will be participating in the Chinese Poetry Recitation Competition at your school.

You can’t get in without the money.” Jeffrey, the bus driver, told a little girl who wanted to get on the bus but only had a few pennies. She must have been around seven years old, and he wasn’t in the mood to deal with unaccompanied children that day. “Please, sir. I want to visit my grandmother,” the little girl begged. “Then go ask your parents for the money and come back next time,” Jeffrey replied and gestured with his hand for the girl to get out. She finally left the bus with her shoulders lowered. Jeffrey saw her sit down at the bus stop and drove off. He finished his route and went home for the lunch, greeting his wife, Greta, and sitting down on the couch to rest. When he browsed his Facebook posts, an image caught his attention. A picture was shared of the little girl he had just turned away a few hours earlier. The word “Missing” was written on top of the image. He learned that the girl had disappeared a day ago, and her parents were desperately trying to find her. “Dear! What have I done?” he asked himself, standing up and going to the front door. When Greta asked where he was going, Jeffrey said, “Greta! Quick! Call 911 and this number,” showing her the picture of the girl. “I saw this girl at a bus stop earlier, and I turned her away because she didn’t have enough money. I’m going to find her, but please make those calls.” Having told her where the bus stop was, he went out. Jeffrey rushed to his car, speeding to the bus stop. Hopefully, the girl was smart enough to stay in one place. He couldn’t believe how careless he had been earlier. She was a little girl all alone. As he drove to the bus stop, Jeffrey vowed to be more careful in the future, especially when it came to children. 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。 Finally, Jeffrey saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few minutes later the police and another car approached. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Finally he saw a tiny figure sitting on the bench at the spot. Jeffery felt relieved and delighted to see the girl staying safe and sound. Trying to calm himself, Jeffery decided to talk to her gently. He inquired about her name and why she had left home. “I was going to Grandma’s house. My mom wouldn’t let me go.” Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor. “Your parents are searching for you, and they’ll be here soon,” he assured her, and the little girl gave him a small smile. A few minutes later, the police and another car approached them. A woman got out of the vehicle and rushed toward Sarah. The little girl got up and ran to her, yelling, “Mommy!” The police officers approached Jeffrey and he told them the entire story and how he regretted not letting her on the bus, so he came to find her. Sarah’s parents thanked him for what he had done. From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了公交车司机Jeffrey一开始拒绝让没有钱的小女孩上车，后来他在Facebook上看到女孩失踪的消息，意识到自己的错误并努力将她找回的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，他看见一个小小的身影坐在原地的长凳上。”可知，第一段可描写Jeffrey抵达公交站并发现小女孩仍然坐在那里的情形以及他对自己行为的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，警察和另一辆车靠近了他们。”可知，第二段可描写小女孩与她的父母团聚的感人瞬间，以及他们对Jeffrey的感谢及Jeffrey的变化。 2.续写线索：车站看到小姑娘——感到欣慰——安慰小姑娘——女孩与父母团聚——女孩父母感谢——Jeffrey的变化。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：inquire/question/query ②大喊：yell/shout/scream ③靠近；接近：approach/draw near/come near to 情绪类 ①高兴的：delighted/happy/pleased ②温柔地：gently/lightly/softly ③向……保证；确保：assure/guarantee/ensure 【点睛】【高分句型1】Sarah replied, swinging one of her feet and looking at the concrete floor.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) 【高分句型2】 From then on, Jeffrey helped anyone short on cash who got on his bus, and he always watched out for the kids that were alone because they needed someone like him to do the right job.(运用了who和that引导的定语从句和because引导的原因状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
