A survey, by Cancer Council Australia among more than 9000 students across the country, found teenagers who were bitten by the energy drinks bug and drank energy drinks at least once a day were twice as likely to get less than eight hours’ sleep on school night than those who didn’t. The same survey found one in six teenagers take in at least 5.2kg of sugar each year from sugary drinks alone. “This can lead to weight gain and obesity, increasing the risk of heart and kidney disease, type2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers,” Mr Sinclair said, who led the survey. Craig Sinclair, head of Rethink Sugary Drink, said the levels of sugar in energy drinks are very high, causing teenagers to put on weight. The survey also found the caffeine (咖啡因) levels of the drinks is also high and this could explain the survey results on their effect on teenage sleep. Energy drinks contain 160mg of caffeine, more than twice as much as a cup of coffee or a 500ml bottle of cola, Mr Sinclair said. The Sleep Health Foundation says teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep, more than an adult, because their bodies and cognition are growing rapidly. Sleep is important for teen mental health and the US Sleep Foundation says shortage of sleep can contribute to acne, bad behaviour and unhealthy eating habits. Associate Professor Matthew Hopcraft from the Australian Dental Association Victoria said energy drinks are also a major contributing factor to tooth decay and tooth erosion. Royal Prince Alfred Hospital heart doctor Professor Chris Semsarian has tested the effects of energy drinks on the heart and said they can lead to an increased heart rate and irregular heart beat. “Caffeine is not the only stimulant (兴奋剂) part of these drinks, most also have guarana which is also a stimulant,” he said. Energy drinks have been related to scores of deaths around the world because of their high caffeine content. 1. What does the underlined phrase “bitten by the energy drink bug”? A. Tired of energy drinks. B. Equipped with energy drinks. C. Fascinated by energy drinks. D. Attacked by an insect in energy drinks. 2. According to the survey, what caused teenagers fond of drinking energy drinks not to sleep enough? A. The high levels of caffeine. B. The high levels of sugar. C. The high levels of alcohol. D. The shortage of exercise. 3. What effects do energy drinks have on the heart, according to Professor Chris Semsarian? A. They can bring about decreased heart rate. B. They can result in blood pressure rising. C. They can lead to heart stopping working. D. They can contribute to heart beating irregularly. 4. What would be the best title for the text? A. Energy Drinks’ Functions B. Energy Drinks’ Harmful Effects C. Energy Drinks’ Effect on Sleep D. Different Opinions of Energy Drinks B In a lot of other states in America, warm sunny days mean lazy afternoons are spent on the beach. In Oregon, people pack hiking shoes with their bathing suits. Here are 3 incredible hikes for you. Cascade Head Preserve Distance: 6.8 miles Difficulty: Moderate Nearest Town: Lincoln City Managed by the international nonprofit The Nature Conservancy, the Cascade Head Preserve is an excellent hike that typically marks the division between the north and central Oregon coast. There are upper and lower trailheads (小道的起点), with about 3.4 miles of trails between the two. Cape Lookout Distance: 5 miles Difficulty: Easy Nearest Town: Tillamook Of all the capes on the Oregon coast, Cape Lookout might be the most famous, projecting 1.5 miles into the ocean. Visitors can tackle the five-mile, round-trip hike to the tip of the cape where they can enjoy several incredible views over the Pacific Ocean. Separate trails lead down to South Beach and the Campground. Clatsop Loop Hike Distance: 3 miles Difficulty: Easy Nearest Town: Cannon Beach There are several trails that traverse (横越) Tillamook Head at Ecola State Park, but the Clatsop Loop Hike is known for its breathtaking Cliffside views and quiet forested paths. Take the seaside trail from Indian Beach to the Hikers Camp, then take the forested path back. 5. Which is the dividing line between the north and central Oregon coast? A. Tillamook. B. Cascade Head Preserve. C. Cape Lookout. D. Cannon Beach. 6. What can you do while standing on the tip of the cape? A. Go camping in the wild. B. Go hiking through the forests. C. Kill time on the beach. D. Enjoy views over the ocean. 7. What is the Clatsop Loop Hike famous for? A. The vast forest. B. The easy hikes. C. The amazing views. D. The quiet seaside. C We have long imagined a world where we interact with computers and robots as if they were normal human beings. Science movies show computers and robots that think and feel just like humans. While these scenes exist only in the movies for now, we may be getting close to making technology emotionally intelligent. The first step toward this is understanding what emotions are, Scientists are often unable to describe emotions in exact terms, even though we generally understand what people mean when they say they’re sad or happy. Back in the 1950s, few scientists studied emotion. But American scientist Paul Ekman saw a lot of potential in this field. He began analyzing facial expressions, and gathered a list of over 5,000 muscle movements. These muscle movements combine to form our different expressions. His discovery of micro-expression—facial expressions that last only less than a second—allows us to read the emotions that people try to hide. There are many possible uses of emotion-sensing technology. Dr. Chieko Asakawa, a researcher at IBM, has been blind since the age of 14. She has been developing a smartphone app that might be able to help people with disabilities. It recognizes people’s faces and facial expressions as they approach. Another use of emotion-sensing technology can be shown through human-shaped robots like Pepper. It can comfort someone when it senses the person is sad, or tell a joke when the person is feeling playful. In Japan, Pepper is already serving customers in stores. But as we walk on the streets, intelligent devices(设备)could record our facial expressions without our knowledge. This could allow many people to monitor(监视)or view our feelings without our permission. It may leave us with no control over who we share our feelings with. However, if we can deal with these challenges successfully, there could be many benefits for all of us if our devices become a little more human. 8. How did Ekman carry out the study? A. By doing medical examinations. B. By analyzing various robots. C. By building new software. D. By studying facial muscles. 9. Why does the author mention Dr. Asakawa’s app? A. To present how IBM benefits from technology. B. To describe the limitation of a new technology. C. To show the value of Ekman’s work. D. To praise what she has done. 10. What can we infer from the last paragraph about intelligent devices? A. They may create some problems. B. They can take the place of humans. C. They are of great benefit to humans. D. They are useless in solving real problems. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Understanding other people’s emotions B. New devices for the disabled C. Robots that think like humans D. Emotions in technology D To complete a study, a team of scientists left Boston and went to the middle of Kenya. They wanted to find out more about barefoot running. Sure, people can run barefoot anywhere. But the Rift Valley Province in Kenya has produced some of the most famous long-distance runners in history, and many of these athletes grew up not wearing shoes. With a video camera in hand, scientist Daniel Lieberman and his colleagues visited some of these runners to figure out what a difference shoes make. It was a big difference, and not necessarily for the better. In particular, when a bare foot hits the ground, the blow is softer and the running motion is smoother. This research suggests that running barefoot may have advantages over running with shoes on, though more studies are needed to determine whether or not barefoot running reduces the chances of injuries. Previous studies have shown that when a person runs barefoot, he lands on the front or middle of the foot. Then the heel goes down. During this process, the weight of the body is at first on the front of the foot, then moves to the heel. When a person wears shoes, however, he tends to run so that his heel hits the ground first. The impact of the heel hitting the ground may be much more forceful than the impact of the front of the foot hitting the ground. In the 1970s, shoe companies began selling running shoes that had cushioned soles (加垫子的鞋底). Those soles spread the body weight through the foot and may have influenced the way people ran. Once runners started wearing these shoes, they could land on their heels and still be comfortable. The researchers also studied barefoot runners in their lab in Boston. The goal was to measure the force with which a runner’s foot hits the ground. By studying this force, the scientists could compare the impact of different running styles. “A rear-foot strike is like someone hitting you on the foot with a hammer, with about one and a half to three times your body weight. It would hurt without a shoe,” Lieberman said. “A fore-foot strike is like having no one hit you at all.” Lieberman’s study explores the physics of running, which is a complex topic. Reed Ferber is a biochemist at the University of Calgary, Canada. The idea that barefoot running is better is a big assumption. He said, “Basically, there are no studies out there that show barefoot running is less injurious.” In other words, don’t throw out those fancy running shoes just yet.” 12. The best title for the passage might be “________”. A. The Study of Running Barefoot B. The Function of Shoes in Running C Race and Long-Distance Runners D. Mystery of Increasing Running Speed 13. The difference between running barefoot and running with shoes on lies in ________. A. the feeling of feet when they touch the ground B. the force with which a runner’s foot hits the ground C. the way of spreading the body weight through the foot D. the degree of comfort one enjoys in running 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A Shoes with cushioned soles can greatly increase one’s running speed. B. The lighter a runner’s body weight is, the faster he can run. C. One of the advantages of barefoot running is less chance of injury. D. A fore-foot strike has great advantages over a rear-foot strike. 15. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. Future runners will be trained in a barefoot way. B People prefer running with shoes on to running barefoot. C. There is still no clear evidence that running barefoot is superior to running with shoes on. D. Some running shoes may bring about amazing results to the people who wear them. 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。 In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence.

Their destination was a forest on the mountain, which was famous for its fascinating scenery and diverse wild animals. Alex, an enthusiastic nature lover and photographer, had carefully planned this trip, packing his camera with high hopes of taking some truly amazing photos of the landscape and some shy creatures that inhabited this area. The path was peaceful, filled with sunlight shining through the thick trees above. The only sounds that they heard were birds singing and leaves moving softly as they whispered secrets in the breeze. Max, full of energy, bounded ahead, his tail swinging wildly as he excitedly explored the new surroundings. When they went around a bend, Alex’s sharp eyes caught a strange flash in the distance. His curiosity got the better of him, and he quickened his pace with Max. As he approached it, he found a large, metal object half-buried in the mud. Its worn metal parts were open wide, with sharp sawteeth (锯齿) on it. The ground around it was disturbed, with broken branches and faint boot prints — signs that someone had been here recently. The sight made Alex feel scared — a warning that even though the forest seemed calm, dangerous things might be hiding nearby. Alex continued walking forward when suddenly he heard a scream coming from behind him. He turned around and saw a little deer lying on the metal object he had just found. Observing carefully, Alex noticed that its back leg was stuck in the metal object. The deer’s eyes were wide with fear and pain, and every time it tried to get free, the sawteeth around its leg seemed to press even tighter. Alex realized that this metal object was most likely a trap left behind illegal poaching (偷猎) activities. 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。 Alex’s heart sank at the sight. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He picked up his camera and took a photo of the deer as it bounded away. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025学年清远市三中教育集团高二下学期期中考试 英语 满分120分 考试用时120分钟 第一部分 听力【听说考试代替，满分30分】 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Can energy drinks really make you energetic? A survey, by Cancer Council Australia among more than 9000 students across the country, found teenagers who were bitten by the energy drinks bug and drank energy drinks at least once a day were twice as likely to get less than eight hours’ sleep on school night than those who didn’t. The same survey found one in six teenagers take in at least 5.2kg of sugar each year from sugary drinks alone. “This can lead to weight gain and obesity, increasing the risk of heart and kidney disease, type2 diabetes, stroke and some cancers,” Mr Sinclair said, who led the survey. Craig Sinclair, head of Rethink Sugary Drink, said the levels of sugar in energy drinks are very high, causing teenagers to put on weight. The survey also found the caffeine (咖啡因) levels of the drinks is also high and this could explain the survey results on their effect on teenage sleep. Energy drinks contain 160mg of caffeine, more than twice as much as a cup of coffee or a 500ml bottle of cola, Mr Sinclair said. The Sleep Health Foundation says teenagers need 8-10 hours of sleep, more than an adult, because their bodies and cognition are growing rapidly. Sleep is important for teen mental health and the US Sleep Foundation says shortage of sleep can contribute to acne, bad behaviour and unhealthy eating habits. Associate Professor Matthew Hopcraft from the Australian Dental Association Victoria said energy drinks are also a major contributing factor to tooth decay and tooth erosion. Royal Prince Alfred Hospital heart doctor Professor Chris Semsarian has tested the effects of energy drinks on the heart and said they can lead to an increased heart rate and irregular heart beat. “Caffeine is not the only stimulant (兴奋剂) part of these drinks, most also have guarana which is also a stimulant,” he said. Energy drinks have been related to scores of deaths around the world because of their high caffeine content. 1. What does the underlined phrase “bitten by the energy drink bug”? A. Tired of energy drinks. B. Equipped with energy drinks. C. Fascinated by energy drinks. D. Attacked by an insect in energy drinks. 2. According to the survey, what caused teenagers fond of drinking energy drinks not to sleep enough? A. The high levels of caffeine. B. The high levels of sugar. C. The high levels of alcohol. D. The shortage of exercise. 3. What effects do energy drinks have on the heart, according to Professor Chris Semsarian? A. They can bring about decreased heart rate. B. They can result in blood pressure rising. C. They can lead to heart stopping working. D. They can contribute to heart beating irregularly. 4. What would be the best title for the text? A. Energy Drinks’ Functions B. Energy Drinks’ Harmful Effects C. Energy Drinks’ Effect on Sleep D. Different Opinions of Energy Drinks 【答案】1. C 2. A 3. D 4. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了能量饮料给青少年带来的负面影响。 【1题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线部分所在句“A survey, by Cancer Council Australia among more than 9000 students across the country, found teenagers who were bitten by the energy drinks bug and drank energy drinks at least once a day were twice as likely to get less than eight hours’ sleep on school night than those who didn’t.(澳大利亚癌症委员会在全国9000多名学生中开展一项调查发现，被能量饮料毒虫叮咬并每天至少喝一次能量饮料的青少年，在学校晚上睡眠不足8小时的可能性是不喝这种饮料的青少年的两倍)”中的“drank energy drinks at least once a day”可知，这些学生每天至少喝一次能量饮料，可见他们对能量饮料很痴迷。由此推知，划线部分“bitten by the energy drinks bug”是指“Fascinated by energy drinks(对能量饮料着迷)”。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“A survey, by Cancer Council Australia among more than 9000 students across the country, found teenagers who were bitten by the energy drinks bug and drank energy drinks at least once a day were twice as likely to get less than eight hours’ sleep on school night than those who didn’t.(澳大利亚癌症委员会在全国9000多名学生中开展的一项调查发现，被能量饮料毒虫叮咬并每天至少喝一次能量饮料的青少年，在学校晚上睡眠不足8小时的可能性是不喝这种饮料的青少年的两倍)”及第三段第一句“The survey also found the caffeine(咖啡因) levels of the drinks is also high and this could explain the survey results on their effect on teenage sleep.(调查还发现，这些饮料中的咖啡因含量也很高，这可以解释调查结果中对青少年睡眠的影响)”可知，咖啡因含量高是导致青少年睡眠不足的原因。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“Royal Prince Alfred Hospital heart doctor Professor Chris Semsarian has tested the effects of energy drinks on the heart and said they can lead to an increased heart rate and irregular heart beat.(皇家阿尔弗雷德王子医院心脏病医生Chris Semsarian教授测试了能量饮料对心脏的影响，他说能量饮料会导致心率加快和心律失常)”可知，根据Chris Semsarian教授的研究得知能量饮料会引起心律失常。故选D。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段最后一句“Craig Sinclair, head of Rethink Sugary Drink, said the levels of sugar in energy drinks are very high, causing teenagers to put on weight.(“反思含糖饮料”的负责人Craig Sinclair说，能量饮料中的糖含量非常高，导致青少年体重增加)”及第三段最后一句“Associate Professor Matthew Hopcraft from the Australian Dental Association Victoria said energy drinks are also a major contributing factor to tooth decay and tooth erosion.(澳大利亚牙科协会维多利亚分会副教授Matthew Hopcraft说，能量饮料也是导致蛀牙和牙齿侵蚀的主要因素)”可知，本文主要讲述的是能量饮料的负面影响，因此“Energy Drinks’ Harmful Effects(能量饮料的有害影响)”适合作为本文标题。故选B。 B In a lot of other states in America, warm sunny days mean lazy afternoons are spent on the beach.

They wanted to find out more about barefoot running. Sure, people can run barefoot anywhere. But the Rift Valley Province in Kenya has produced some of the most famous long-distance runners in history, and many of these athletes grew up not wearing shoes. With a video camera in hand, scientist Daniel Lieberman and his colleagues visited some of these runners to figure out what a difference shoes make. It was a big difference, and not necessarily for the better. In particular, when a bare foot hits the ground, the blow is softer and the running motion is smoother. This research suggests that running barefoot may have advantages over running with shoes on, though more studies are needed to determine whether or not barefoot running reduces the chances of injuries. Previous studies have shown that when a person runs barefoot, he lands on the front or middle of the foot. Then the heel goes down. During this process, the weight of the body is at first on the front of the foot, then moves to the heel. When a person wears shoes, however, he tends to run so that his heel hits the ground first. The impact of the heel hitting the ground may be much more forceful than the impact of the front of the foot hitting the ground. In the 1970s, shoe companies began selling running shoes that had cushioned soles (加垫子的鞋底). Those soles spread the body weight through the foot and may have influenced the way people ran. Once runners started wearing these shoes, they could land on their heels and still be comfortable. The researchers also studied barefoot runners in their lab in Boston. The goal was to measure the force with which a runner’s foot hits the ground. By studying this force, the scientists could compare the impact of different running styles. “A rear-foot strike is like someone hitting you on the foot with a hammer, with about one and a half to three times your body weight. It would hurt without a shoe,” Lieberman said. “A fore-foot strike is like having no one hit you at all.” Lieberman’s study explores the physics of running, which is a complex topic. Reed Ferber is a biochemist at the University of Calgary, Canada. The idea that barefoot running is better is a big assumption. He said, “Basically, there are no studies out there that show barefoot running is less injurious.” In other words, don’t throw out those fancy running shoes just yet.” 12. The best title for the passage might be “________”. A. The Study of Running Barefoot B. The Function of Shoes in Running C. Race and Long-Distance Runners D. Mystery of Increasing Running Speed 13. The difference between running barefoot and running with shoes on lies in ________. A. the feeling of feet when they touch the ground B. the force with which a runner’s foot hits the ground C. the way of spreading the body weight through the foot D. the degree of comfort one enjoys in running 14. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Shoes with cushioned soles can greatly increase one’s running speed. B. The lighter a runner’s body weight is, the faster he can run. C. One of the advantages of barefoot running is less chance of injury. D. A fore-foot strike has great advantages over a rear-foot strike. 15. What conclusion can we draw from the passage? A. Future runners will be trained in a barefoot way. B. People prefer running with shoes on to running barefoot. C. There is still no clear evidence that running barefoot is superior to running with shoes on. D. Some running shoes may bring about amazing results to the people who wear them. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家对赤脚跑步展开了研究，分析了赤脚跑步与穿鞋跑步相比具有的优势，以及不同跑步方式对赤脚跑步的影响。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕科学家们对赤脚跑步的研究展开，根据研究过程和结果主要介绍了赤脚跑步与穿鞋跑步相比具有的优势，以及不同跑步方式对赤脚跑步的影响。因此，A项“赤脚跑步的研究”符合文章大意，适合作为标题。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The impact of the heel hitting the ground may be much more forceful than the impact of the front of the foot hitting the ground. (脚后跟着地的冲击力可能比前脚掌着地的冲击力大得多。)”可知，赤脚跑步和穿鞋跑步的区别在于跑步者的脚着地时受到的冲击力不同。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段““A rear-foot strike is like someone hitting you on the foot with a hammer, with about one and a half to three times your body weight. It would hurt without a shoe,” Lieberman said. “A fore-foot strike is like having no one hit you at all.” (Lieberman说：“脚后跟着地就像有人用锤子打你的脚，大约是你体重1.5倍到3倍的力。不穿鞋会很疼。前脚掌着地就像根本没人打你一样。”)”可知，D项“前脚掌着地比脚后跟着地有很大的优势”与文章内容相符。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“The idea that barefoot running is better is a big assumption. He said, “Basically, there are no studies out there that show barefoot running is less injurious.” (赤脚跑步更好想法是一个很大的假设。他说：“基本上，没有研究表明赤脚跑步的伤害更小。”)”可推知，赤脚跑步更好目前尚未被证实，即目前还没有明确的证据表明赤脚跑步比穿鞋跑步更好。故选C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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In every culture throughout time, the kitchen has had a powerful influence.

Their destination was a forest on the mountain, which was famous for its fascinating scenery and diverse wild animals. Alex, an enthusiastic nature lover and photographer, had carefully planned this trip, packing his camera with high hopes of taking some truly amazing photos of the landscape and some shy creatures that inhabited this area. The path was peaceful, filled with sunlight shining through the thick trees above. The only sounds that they heard were birds singing and leaves moving softly as they whispered secrets in the breeze. Max, full of energy, bounded ahead, his tail swinging wildly as he excitedly explored the new surroundings. When they went around a bend, Alex’s sharp eyes caught a strange flash in the distance. His curiosity got the better of him, and he quickened his pace with Max. As he approached it, he found a large, metal object half-buried in the mud. Its worn metal parts were open wide, with sharp sawteeth (锯齿) on it. The ground around it was disturbed, with broken branches and faint boot prints — signs that someone had been here recently. The sight made Alex feel scared — a warning that even though the forest seemed calm, dangerous things might be hiding nearby. Alex continued walking forward when suddenly he heard a scream coming from behind him. He turned around and saw a little deer lying on the metal object he had just found. Observing carefully, Alex noticed that its back leg was stuck in the metal object. The deer’s eyes were wide with fear and pain, and every time it tried to get free, the sawteeth around its leg seemed to press even tighter. Alex realized that this metal object was most likely a trap left behind illegal poaching (偷猎) activities. 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。 Alex’s heart sank at the sight. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He picked up his camera and took a photo of the deer as it bounded away. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Alex’s heart sank at the sight. He knew he had to act quickly. Kneeling down gently, he tried to calm the terrified deer with soft words. “It’s okay, little one. I’m here to help.” Then, with great care, he started examining the trap, trying to figure out how to free the deer’s leg without causing more harm. Max stood nearby, looking worried. As Alex worked, he thought about the cruelty of poaching. How could people set such traps and cause so much suffering to these innocent animals? Finally, after what seemed like ages, he managed to loosen the trap, and the deer’s leg was free. He picked up his camera and took a photo of the deer as it bounded away. The deer’s graceful figure disappearing into the forest made Alex feel a sense of relief. This experience made him more determined to do something against poaching. He decided to report this to the local forest rangers, providing them with the exact location of the trap and the details he had observed. He hoped that his actions could help protect the precious wildlife in this forest. As he and Max continued their hike, he knew that this day would be one he would never forget, and he was ready to take on more challenges to safeguard nature. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了Alex和他的狗Max在森林中徒步旅行时，意外发现一只小鹿被困在偷猎者留下的陷阱中的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“亚历克斯看到这一幕，心都沉了下去。”可知，第一段可描写Alex看到小鹿被困后的反应和行动，他迅速尝试解救小鹿，并思考偷猎行为的残忍。 ②由第二段首句内容“他拿起相机，拍了一张鹿蹦蹦跳跳的照片。”可知，第二段可描写小鹿被解救后欢快离去的场景，以及Alex对此经历的感悟和他决定采取的行动，即向当地森林护林员报告此事，并表达他保护野生动物的决心。 2. 续写线索：看到小鹿被困——迅速尝试解救——思考偷猎的残忍——小鹿被成功解救——小鹿欢快离去——Alex决定报告此事并保护野生动物。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①跪下：kneel down / crouch down / get down on one’s knees ②试图做：try to do/attempt to do/endeavor to do ③松开：loosen / untie / unfasten 情绪类 ①害怕的：terrified / frightened / scared ②担心的：worried / concerned / anxious 【点睛】【高分句型1】As Alex worked, he thought about the cruelty of poaching.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】He hoped that his actions could help protect the precious wildlife in this forest.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
