B When Ghanain photojournalist Paul Ninson initially pursued a career in photography, he found the challenge discouraging. Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana, Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was like, ‘Yuck, what? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone, bought a camera and began studying photography. Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography, he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart — those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist. Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks. In Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home, such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” 4. How did Ninson's grandparents affect his career choice? A. They bought a camera for Ninson. B. They asked him to consult his friend. C. They carried on the storytelling tradition. D. They showed many photos of his family. 5. Why did Ninson go to America? A. He desired for chances to better himself. B. He hunted for more approaches to culture. C. He planned to sell hundreds of photobooks. D. He wanted to return to commercial photography. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ninson? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Generous and caring. C. Innovative and hard-working. D. Brave and outgoing. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Publicize Dikan Center. B. Highlight the significance of Dikan Center. C. Introduce the development prospects of Dikan Center. D. Call on people to build more libraries in Dikan Center. C In the United States, perhaps no insect has been counted as often as the butterfly. “There’s a lot of passion for them, and they’re very amazing,” says Collin Edwards, an ecologist at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. That enthusiasm has led volunteers to spend countless hours monitoring butterfly populations over the years. “Thanks to their efforts, we have one of the world’s best insect datasets,” Edwards adds. However, this data came from various separate programs, each slightly different in approach. To get a single, country-wide look at the state of these insects, Edwards and a team of more than 30 butterfly researchers brought together and analyzed all these efforts — a total of 12.6 million butterfly sightings. Their findings are alarming. Since 2000, butterfly numbers in the US have dropped by an average of 22%, according to a study published in Science. Declines have been recorded across the country and among a wide range of species. “Averages can sometimes be deceptive, if big drops in a handful of species bring the overall average down. But that wasn’t the case for this analysis,” says David Wagner, a biologist at the University of Connecticut. “The median species declined by more than 40%. That was where it really hit me that this is really big.” Only 3% of the 554 species examined showed growth, mainly those that adapt well to human environments. More concerning is that the median species declined by over 40%, indicating a broad and serious trend. Huge change of natural land, for agriculture or other kinds of development, have decreased the natural habitats butterflies need to live in. Pesticides (杀虫剂) used in farming are directly harming many species, especially in the Midwest. And climate change is pushing creatures out of their comfort zones. Addressing this crisis will take national or international action. While lots of policies are needed to address climate change and regulate pesticides, individuals can also help. “We can’t stop climate change alone, but we can combat habitat loss,” says Edwards. “Planting flowers that can provide food and shelter for butterflies helps them survive despite environmental challenges.” 8. Why do volunteers track butterfly populations? A. They hope to feed amazing butterflies. B. They have a strong interest in the species. C. They want to confirm some findings about the species. D. They have seldom counted butterfly populations before. 9. What does the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Misleading. B. Estimated. C. Threatening. D. Comparable. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The reasons why pesticides are harmful to butterflies. B. A latest trend in agricultural development. C. The noticeable changes in butterfly species. D. Factors driving declines in butterfly populations. 11. What does Edwards intend to say regarding saving butterflies? A. Planting flowers can avoid habitat loss. B. Individuals play a minor part in it. C. International cooperation is essential. D. Small efforts can make a difference. D Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new artificial intelligence(AI)method that can accurately predict gene (基因) activity in any human cell, essentially revealing the cell’s inner mechanisms (机制). Detailed in the latest issue of Nature, this system has the potential to change how scientists study cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases. “Predictive generalizable computational models allow to reveal biological processes in a fast and accurate way. These methods can effectively conduct lots of computational experiments, boosting and guiding traditional experimental approaches,” says Raul Rabadan, senior author of the new paper. Traditional biological methods show how cells function or respond to changes, but they lack the ability to predict these processes. Recent advances in AI and massive biological data collections are making this shift possible. However, using AI to predict gene activity inside cells has been a greater challenge — until now. Rabadan’s team developed an AI model trained on gene expression data from over 1.3 million normal human cells. Unlike earlier models trained on limited data this system uses genome sequences (基因组序列) and accessibility data to predict which genes are active in any cell. The process is similar to how language models like MindLink, an AI chat tool, work: It learns patterns from data and applies them to new situations. Testing showed the model could accurately predict gene activity in cell types it had not encountered, matching experimental results closely. The researchers applied the AI model to study pediatric leukemia, a childhood cancer caused by inherited mutations (遗传变异). The model predicted how these mutations disturb critical processes in cells, a finding later confirmed through experiments. This understanding highlights the specific mechanisms causing the disease. The AI model could also reveal unexplored regions of the genome, often linked to cancer. These “dark” regions may play key roles in disease. Already, Rabadan is working with researchers at Columbia and other universities, exploring different cancers, from brain to blood cancers, learning the grammar of regulation in normal cells, and how cells change in the process of cancer development. 12. What is a problem about traditional biological methods? A. They are difficult to combine with AI. B. They can’t predict how cells work. C. They are expensive in plenty of research. D. They can’t collect biological data effectively. 13. Why does the author mention MindLink in paragraph 4? A. To remove public doubts about AI chat tools. B. To introduce the disadvantages of AI tools. C. To explain the experimental results from Rabadan’s team. D. To clarify how the AI model functions. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI model? A. Its popularity. B. Its application value. C. Its complexity. D. Its design inspiration. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. New AI Model Exposes Secrets of Human Cells B. Scientists Unlock the Secret of Blood Cancers C. Advances in AI Fuel a Heated Debate in Biology D. AI Tools Are Widely Used to Treat Rare Diseases 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。 The digital divide is shrinking (缩小) as older generations embrace social media.

Jake wasn’t just my brother — he was my best friend and the one who always knew how to pull me out of my darkest moods. His absence left a huge hole in my life, and no amount of video calls or texts could fill it. Then came the news: Marco, an exchange student from Italy, would be staying in Jake’s room. “Marco? In Jake’s room?” I asked, my voice trembling. “But that’s his space.” My mom, trying to comfort me, said, “Marco’s excited to be here. You might even learn something new.” I wasn’t convinced. The idea felt like a betrayal (背叛), as if we were replacing Jake. When Marco arrived, he was nothing like I had expected. He was tall, with dark curly hair and a confident smile that seemed to light up the room. He greeted me with a cheerful “Hello!” and immediately started unpacking his things. I stood awkwardly in the doorway, watching as he transformed Jake’s room into his own space. Overwhelmed (不知所措的), I whispered a quick “Hi” and returned to my room. The first few days were tense. Marco, chatting with my parents about Naples, tried to include me, but I kept my distance. One evening, I overheard him talking about how much he missed playing soccer with his friends back home. “It’s not just a game,” he said. “It’s a way of life.” I rolled my eyes. Then, one Saturday afternoon, everything changed. My parents had to attend a wedding out of town, leaving Marco and me in the house. I busied myself with my own things in my room, trying to avoid any interaction. But around midday, Marco knocked on my door. “Hey, I’m going to play some soccer in the backyard. Want to join me?” he asked. I hesitated. Soccer had never been my thing — I was more of a basketball person. But the thought of sitting alone in my room all day didn’t sound appealing either. 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。 Finally, I followed Marco into the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point in my relationship with Marco. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 河南省2024—2025年度高二期中考试 英 语 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。 例: How much is the shirt?

Photography isn’t exactly valued as a career in Ghana, Ninson says, “If you tell your parents you’re going to be a photographer, it was like, ‘Yuck, what? Go be a lawyer.’” But Ninson felt photography was his calling. Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography. He sold his mobile phone, bought a camera and began studying photography. Though Ninson began his journey with commercial photography, he soon shifted his focus to stories closer to his heart — those of African history and culture that he would capture as a photojournalist. Ninson still sought formal education in photojournalism. Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. There, he read the center’s hundreds of photobooks. In Ghana, he only had access to five or six of such books. As he ventured deeper into the city, he discovered more visual histories of Africa than he had experienced at home, such as documentation of Ghana’s first president at the New York Public Library. The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” 4. How did Ninson's grandparents affect his career choice? A. They bought a camera for Ninson. B. They asked him to consult his friend. C. They carried on the storytelling tradition. D. They showed many photos of his family. 5. Why did Ninson go to America? A. He desired for chances to better himself. B. He hunted for more approaches to culture. C. He planned to sell hundreds of photobooks. D. He wanted to return to commercial photography. 6. Which of the following can best describe Ninson? A. Optimistic and humorous. B. Generous and caring. C. Innovative and hard-working. D. Brave and outgoing. 7. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. Publicize Dikan Center. B. Highlight the significance of Dikan Center. C. Introduce the development prospects of Dikan Center. D. Call on people to build more libraries in Dikan Center. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加纳摄影记者Paul Ninson克服重重困难，坚持追求摄影梦想，并最终在加纳首都阿克拉创建Dikan Center，为保存和传承非洲历史和文化做出贡献的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Deeply influenced by the family history of storytelling passed down through his grandparents and later attracted by a friend’s images, he developed a love for photography.

Unable to find a suitable program in Africa, he left Ghana in 2019 to study in New York City. (Ninson仍然寻求摄影新闻学的正规教育。由于在非洲找不到合适的课程，他于2019年离开加纳前往纽约市学习。)”可知，Ninson去美国是为了寻求摄影新闻学的正规教育，提升自己的技能，即他渴望有机会提升自己。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The libraries Ninson visited were unwilling to give him their archives (档案) to return to Africa, which led to his idea of creating a leading photobook library in Africa that held such stories. This idea has been realized with the creation of the Dikan Center in Accra, Ghana’s capital. (Ninson参观的图书馆不愿意把他们的档案给他带回非洲，这让他产生了在非洲创建一个收藏这些故事的领先摄影图书图书馆的想法。随着加纳首都阿克拉的Dikan中心的建立，这一想法已经实现。)”可知，Ninson有创新精神，能够提出创建Dikan Center的想法，并且他通过努力实现了这一想法，说明他勤奋努力。因此，最能描述Ninson的是“Innovative and hard-working（创新的和勤奋的）”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“In Ghanaian artist Daniella Afful’s eyes, Dikan Center is a spark for the growth of Ghana’s creative community, “Dikan Center has magnified (放大) art and photography. Dikan Center has kind of given us the hope that we may soon have a music library and we could have a film library in Ghana — anything just to preserve our history and make history.” (在加纳艺术家Daniella Afful看来，Dikan Center是加纳创意社区发展的火花，“Dikan Center放大了艺术和摄影。Dikan Center给了我们希望，我们可能很快就会在加纳拥有一个音乐图书馆，我们也可以拥有一个电影图书馆 —— 任何东西，只要能保存我们的历史并创造历史。”)”可知，最后一段通过引用加纳艺术家Daniella Afful的话，强调了Dikan Center对加纳创意社区发展的重要性，以及它对保存和传承加纳历史和文化的贡献。因此，作者在最后一段的意图是强调Dikan Center的重要性。故选B项。 C In the United States, perhaps no insect has been counted as often as the butterfly. “There’s a lot of passion for them, and they’re very amazing,” says Collin Edwards, an ecologist at the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. That enthusiasm has led volunteers to spend countless hours monitoring butterfly populations over the years. “Thanks to their efforts, we have one of the world’s best insect datasets,” Edwards adds. However, this data came from various separate programs, each slightly different in approach. To get a single, country-wide look at the state of these insects, Edwards and a team of more than 30 butterfly researchers brought together and analyzed all these efforts — a total of 12.6 million butterfly sightings. Their findings are alarming. Since 2000, butterfly numbers in the US have dropped by an average of 22%, according to a study published in Science. Declines have been recorded across the country and among a wide range of species. “Averages can sometimes be deceptive, if big drops in a handful of species bring the overall average down. But that wasn’t the case for this analysis,” says David Wagner, a biologist at the University of Connecticut. “The median species declined by more than 40%. That was where it really hit me that this is really big.” Only 3% of the 554 species examined showed growth, mainly those that adapt well to human environments. More concerning is that the median species declined by over 40%, indicating a broad and serious trend. Huge change of natural land, for agriculture or other kinds of development, have decreased the natural habitats butterflies need to live in. Pesticides (杀虫剂) used in farming are directly harming many species, especially in the Midwest. And climate change is pushing creatures out of their comfort zones. Addressing this crisis will take national or international action. While lots of policies are needed to address climate change and regulate pesticides, individuals can also help. “We can’t stop climate change alone, but we can combat habitat loss,” says Edwards. “Planting flowers that can provide food and shelter for butterflies helps them survive despite environmental challenges.” 8. Why do volunteers track butterfly populations? A. They hope to feed amazing butterflies. B. They have a strong interest in the species. C. They want to confirm some findings about the species. D. They have seldom counted butterfly populations before. 9. What does the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Misleading. B. Estimated. C. Threatening. D. Comparable. 10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about? A. The reasons why pesticides are harmful to butterflies. B. A latest trend in agricultural development. C. The noticeable changes in butterfly species. D. Factors driving declines in butterfly populations. 11. What does Edwards intend to say regarding saving butterflies? A. Planting flowers can avoid habitat loss. B. Individuals play a minor part in it. C. International cooperation is essential. D. Small efforts can make a difference. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11.

That enthusiasm has led volunteers to spend countless hours monitoring butterfly populations over the years. (“人们对它们充满了热情，它们非常令人惊叹，”华盛顿州鱼类和野生动物部门的生态学家Collin Edwards说。多年来，这种热情促使志愿者们花费无数时间监测蝴蝶数量。)”可知，志愿者们跟踪蝴蝶数量是因为他们对这个物种有浓厚的兴趣。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后的“if big drops in a handful of species bring the overall average down. But that wasn’t the case for this analysis (如果少数物种的数量大幅下降导致整体平均水平下降。但这次分析并非如此)”可知，此处假设的情况与实际情况不符，即如果仅凭少数物种数量大幅下降就判断整体情况，可能会得出错误的结论，即“误导性的”结论。因此，划线词“deceptive”意为“误导性的”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Huge change of natural land, for agriculture or other kinds of development, have decreased the natural habitats butterflies need to live in. Pesticides (杀虫剂) used in farming are directly harming many species, especially in the Midwest. And climate change is pushing creatures out of their comfort zones. (自然土地因农业或其他开发而发生的巨大变化，减少了蝴蝶生存所需的自然栖息地。农业中使用的杀虫剂直接危害着许多物种，尤其是在中西部地区。气候变化正在将生物赶出它们的舒适区。)”可知，本段主要讲述了导致蝴蝶数量下降的因素，包括自然土地的变化、杀虫剂的使用和气候变化等。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While lots of policies are needed to address climate change and regulate pesticides, individuals can also help. “We can’t stop climate change alone, but we can combat habitat loss,” says Edwards. “Planting flowers that can provide food and shelter for butterflies helps them survive despite environmental challenges.” (虽然需要很多政策来应对气候变化和监管杀虫剂，但个人也可以提供帮助。“我们无法独自阻止气候变化，但我们可以对抗栖息地丧失，”Edwards说。“种植能为蝴蝶提供食物和庇护所的花朵，有助于它们在环境挑战中生存下来。”)”可知，Edwards认为个人在拯救蝴蝶方面也可以发挥作用，比如种植能为蝴蝶提供食物和庇护所的花朵。这表明他相信个人的小努力也能产生大影响。故选D项。 D Researchers at Columbia University have developed a new artificial intelligence(AI)method that can accurately predict gene (基因) activity in any human cell, essentially revealing the cell’s inner mechanisms (机制). Detailed in the latest issue of Nature, this system has the potential to change how scientists study cancer, genetic disorders, and other diseases. “Predictive generalizable computational models allow to reveal biological processes in a fast and accurate way. These methods can effectively conduct lots of computational experiments, boosting and guiding traditional experimental approaches,” says Raul Rabadan, senior author of the new paper. Traditional biological methods show how cells function or respond to changes, but they lack the ability to predict these processes. Recent advances in AI and massive biological data collections are making this shift possible. However, using AI to predict gene activity inside cells has been a greater challenge — until now. Rabadan’s team developed an AI model trained on gene expression data from over 1.3 million normal human cells. Unlike earlier models trained on limited data, this system uses genome sequences (基因组序列) and accessibility data to predict which genes are active in any cell. The process is similar to how language models like MindLink, an AI chat tool, work: It learns patterns from data and applies them to new situations. Testing showed the model could accurately predict gene activity in cell types it had not encountered, matching experimental results closely. The researchers applied the AI model to study pediatric leukemia, a childhood cancer caused by inherited mutations (遗传变异). The model predicted how these mutations disturb critical processes in cells, a finding later confirmed through experiments. This understanding highlights the specific mechanisms causing the disease. The AI model could also reveal unexplored regions of the genome, often linked to cancer. These “dark” regions may play key roles in disease. Already, Rabadan is working with researchers at Columbia and other universities, exploring different cancers, from brain to blood cancers, learning the grammar of regulation in normal cells, and how cells change in the process of cancer development. 12. What is a problem about traditional biological methods? A. They are difficult to combine with AI. B. They can’t predict how cells work. C. They are expensive in plenty of research. D. They can’t collect biological data effectively. 13. Why does the author mention MindLink in paragraph 4? A. To remove public doubts about AI chat tools. B. To introduce the disadvantages of AI tools. C. To explain the experimental results from Rabadan’s team. D. To clarify how the AI model functions. 14. What does paragraph 5 mainly stress about the new AI model? A. Its popularity. B. Its application value. C. Its complexity. D. Its design inspiration. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. New AI Model Exposes Secrets of Human Cells B. Scientists Unlock the Secret of Blood Cancers C. Advances in AI Fuel a Heated Debate in Biology D. AI Tools Are Widely Used to Treat Rare Diseases 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15.

Jake wasn’t just my brother — he was my best friend and the one who always knew how to pull me out of my darkest moods. His absence left a huge hole in my life, and no amount of video calls or texts could fill it. Then came the news: Marco, an exchange student from Italy, would be staying in Jake’s room. “Marco? In Jake’s room?” I asked, my voice trembling. “But that’s his space.” My mom, trying to comfort me, said, “Marco’s excited to be here. You might even learn something new.” I wasn’t convinced. The idea felt like a betrayal (背叛), as if we were replacing Jake. When Marco arrived, he was nothing like I had expected. He was tall, with dark curly hair and a confident smile that seemed to light up the room. He greeted me with a cheerful “Hello!” and immediately started unpacking his things. I stood awkwardly in the doorway, watching as he transformed Jake’s room into his own space. Overwhelmed (不知所措的), I whispered a quick “Hi” and returned to my room. The first few days were tense. Marco, chatting with my parents about Naples, tried to include me, but I kept my distance. One evening, I overheard him talking about how much he missed playing soccer with his friends back home. “It’s not just a game,” he said. “It’s a way of life.” I rolled my eyes. Then, one Saturday afternoon, everything changed. My parents had to attend a wedding out of town, leaving Marco and me in the house. I busied myself with my own things in my room, trying to avoid any interaction. But around midday, Marco knocked on my door. “Hey, I’m going to play some soccer in the backyard. Want to join me?” he asked. I hesitated. Soccer had never been my thing — I was more of a basketball person. But the thought of sitting alone in my room all day didn’t sound appealing either. 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。 Finally, I followed Marco into the backyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That day marked a turning point in my relationship with Marco. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, I followed Marco into the backyard. The moment I stepped onto the grass, Marco tossed me a soccer ball with an encouraging grin. “Just try kicking it around,” he said. To my surprise, his enthusiasm was contagious. Though my first attempts were clumsy, Marco patiently showed me basic techniques, laughing when I tripped over my own feet. His lightheartedness eased my tension, and soon, I found myself actually enjoying the game. As we played, he shared stories about his hometown. For the first time, I saw Marco not as an intruder in Jake’s space, but as someone who, like me, was just trying to find his footing in a new place. That day marked a turning point in my relationship with Marco. Soccer became our shared language. We started practicing regularly, and I even taught him some basketball moves in return. Slowly, the awkwardness between us faded. One evening, while watching a game together, Marco admitted, “I was nervous about coming here too. But having you as a friend made it easier.” His honesty struck me. I realized that while no one could replace Jake, Marco had carved out his own place in our home — and in my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因哥哥Jake离家上大学而感到孤独，直到家里迎来意大利交换生Marco。起初，作者对Marco占据哥哥的房间感到抵触，两人关系紧张。但一次偶然的足球互动打破了隔阂，他们逐渐成为朋友。最终，作者意识到，虽然Marco无法取代Jake，但他带来了新的友谊和快乐，填补了哥哥离开后的空缺。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，我跟着Marco来到后院”和第二段首句中的“转折点”可知，第一段可描写Marco认真地教作者如何踢足球，他的热情感染了作者，作者逐渐喜欢上这项运动，Marco也开始和作者分享自己的故事，两人关系变得融洽。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天是我和Marco关系的转折点”可知，第二段可描写两人开始定期踢足球，作者也教Marco打篮球，两人成为朋友，作者意识到Marco在这个家的重要位置。 2. 续写线索：两人来到后院——Marco教作者踢足球，作者享受这项运动——Marco分享故事——两人关系转变——两人定期玩耍，成为朋友——作者的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①减轻：ease/alleviate ②消失：fade/disappear ③承认：admit/acknowledge ④意识到：realize/recognize 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②紧张的：nervous/anxious 【点睛】[高分句型1] The moment I stepped onto the grass, Marco tossed me a soccer ball with an encouraging grin.
