WHAT’S INCLUDED · All meals, soft drinks, tea, coffee and snacks (vegetarian and special menus on request). · Professional cruise directors, experts and local staff who deliver evening talks, daytime guiding, and all activities. · Hotel accommodation for your first night in the city of Sorong. · Cabin cleaning and two-piece laundry service every day. · Transfers between your international flight arrival and the boat. REMINDERS · There will be some very early morning starts, because the best time to view many species of birds of paradise is at daybreak. However, there will be plenty of time to rest on board. · When on land, there will be some walk off-track and through primary rainforest, so good walking shoes are recommended. · When visiting the birds of paradise sites, it is essential you wear light colors, as bright colors can scare them away. So natural colors of brown, grey and green, please. · The routine might change as local conditions and opportunities present themselves. 1. What is the minimum number of visitors required for the cruise? A. 12. B. 15. C. 18. D. 22. 2. What is included in the tour package? A. Two nights’ hotel stay. B. International flight tickets. C.

Weather condition. B As my 70th birthday approached. I felt motivated to do something special. Something personal. Something meaningful. I asked myself, “How can I fill my memory bank? Swim 70 laps? Make 70 charity donations? More than anything, I wanted to spend cherisned time with loved ones — without preparing a guest list as well as planning and hosting a party during the holidays, which was a particular burden for me. Then I landed a plan. I would record 70 experiences over the year with the people I love. Their job: to propose (提议). My job: to say yes. I sent emails to every single one I know, telling them my plan. My inbox quickly was filled with offers. Come pick berries on my farm. I’ll make you pizza! How about a theater trip to London? Let’s drink high tea wearing hats and gloves at a fancy hotel. I’m taking you to a modern dance class. As responses multiplied, I felt gratitude for my wonderful list of longtime friends and for the inspired menu being laid out before me. I created a journal to keep track of my ambitious undertaking. As offers came in, I added them to the master list. Despite distance, full schedules and plain old routines, I had a few new experiences each month. Though I did not hang glide (滑翔), or eat insects - which were suggested — I hiked, picnicked, rode the ferry boat and train, drank steaming cups of coffee, attended literary events, road-tripped to LA, and traveled overseas to stay with friends in Europe. Having reached 70, I feel full, not in a cake-and-ice-cream way, but filled with memories of a year well spent. My birthday project confirmed for me that what really matters is the excitement of my own inner experience and that though the eras pass us by, the voices of the past live on. My year of fun helped me see that though I may slow down as I age, neither my brilliance nor my friendships have darkened. I won’t stop dancing until the floor drops out from under me. 4. What is the focus of the author’s 70th birthday celebration plan? A. A special guest list. B. A memorable party. C. Some meaningful trips. D. Some shared moments. 5. What best describes the author’s friends in terms of their responses? A. Unconcerned. B. Hesitant. C. Enthusiastic. D. Dismissive. 6. What can be learned about the author during the year? A. She traveled abroad. B. She wrote literature. C. She ate a lot of ice-cream. D. She learned to drive a train. 7. What does the author try to convey in the last paragraph? A. Serious concerns about aging. B. Burning desire for friendship. C. Positive attitudes towards life. D. Genuine affection for dancing. C Abandoned electronics are piling up fast. Some e-waste is relatively large — old phones and air conditioners, for instance. Other e-waste is not so noticeable, such as environment sensors, smart labels that contain batteries and other equipment. It’s these small batteries that are big problems. Nobody really pays attention to where they end up. Some researchers from Switzerland are working to address this problem. Their new study in Scientific Reports describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices. The paper battery has the same key components as standard batteries but packages them differently. Sustainable materials were an essential requirement for the researchers, who considered only harmless and sufficient components to create their device. “We were fairly confident we would have something that would work in the end, but developing these materials and systems is highly complicated,” says Gustav Nyström, head of the researchers, who tried hundreds of formulations (配方) for the battery components before their final success. When the paper is dry, the battery is shelf-stable. Add just a couple of drops of water, however, the battery activates within 20 seconds. The new battery’s operating performance declines as the paper dries. When the scientists rewet the paper during testing, the battery regained functionality and lasted an hour before beginning to dry out again. Although the researchers demonstrated that their battery could power an alarm clock, disposable paper batteries are unlikely to replace standard batteries on store shelves. However, Nyström predicts a future where these batteries are widely used. He says he is in contact with potential industry partners and believes these batteries could make their way into products within the next two to five years. 8. What can we learn about the paper battery researching process? A. It was full of challenges. B. It differed from a standard one. C. It needed lots of improvements. D. It built people’s faith in researchers. 9. What happens to the paper battery when it is dry? A. It begins to function soon. B. It usually lasts an hour. C It reaches it maximum effect. D. It decreases in efficiency. 10. What does Nyström think of their invention? A. It has been widely used. B. It will raise uncertainties. C. Its future looks promising. D. Its production is on the rise. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. E-waste Problem Solved B. Sustainable Battery Invented C. Abandoned Electronics Recycled D. New Materials Found for New Battery D The lack of something we consider vital, such as time or food, can powerfully shape our thinking and behavior. Take money, for example, when people play a game that makes some players suddenly wealthier or poorer, those who lose money start making decisions that result in their being better off now but worse off later. One potential explanation for this tendency is that shortage of something is mentally challenging. Not having enough of what we need becomes a distraction that makes it harder for us to focus and plan. In recent work, however, we found that people react to water shortage very differently than they do to other shortages. People in places in short of water think more about the long term. Worrying about water shortage led to better planning and less wasteful behavior - not only with water but with other resources, too. In one experiment, we brought 211 college students to the lab and asked some of them to read an article that predicted the worst “water shortage in 1,200 years.” Others read a more upbeat article about how climate change means more rain and therefore enough water. The rest of the students completed the study without reading an article. We then asked the students how important it was to save resources and think about the long term. Participants who read about a serious shortage agreed more with statements like “People should live for the future” and “There are things I resist buying today so I can save for tomorrow.” Participants reading the other article were pushed in the opposite direction. They were more likely to support living for the present and cared less about saving money and other resources when compared with those who didn’t read about climate change. Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities toward more cautious, future-oriented behavior. That may offer a ray of hope amid the threat of climate change. Water shortage could be uniquely powerful motivation for us to prepare for and respond to a warmer world. 12. Why does the author use money as an example? A. To point out its shortage. B. To explain its role in games. C. To prove its importance to people. D. To stress its impact on decision-making. 13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Give background information. B. Compare two different opinions. C. Provide findings of their research. D. Explain different people’s behaviors 14. What does the underlined word “upbeat” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Positive. B. Interesting. C. Thoughtful. D. Influential. 15. What implication does the author think their study has? A. We should save money for our future. B. Water shortage may stimulate actions. C. We should prepare for climate change. D. Global warming benefits us in some ways. 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。 Almost one-third of adults aged 65 and older have never used the Internet, and half don’t have Internet access at home. Of those who do use the Internet, nearly half need someone else’s help to set up a new digital device. ____16____ If we do not provide technology access and training to older adults, we shut them out from society, worsening the loneliness among the elderly, which has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death.

They got top grades in their exams and impressed their teachers and classmates with how well they did in school. However, there was one thing they were not good at — getting along with each other. They never talked or hung out with each other and always seemed to be competing against each other. Anna was outgoing, showing great talents in public speaking and writing. She was always volunteering for school events, joining clubs, and participating in out-of-class activities. But she had a hard time making friends because she was always so busy. Lingling on the other hand, was relatively shy and quiet. She was a math whiz (高手) and could solve problems that seemed impossible to others. She spent most of her time studying, saying “I don’t see the value in spending time on things that don’t directly contribute to my academic success.” One day, they had a class debate about whether out-of-class activities were important for students. “Of course they’re important. They help develop our social skills,” Anna spoke up on behalf of those supporting out-of-class activities. Meanwhile, Lingling stood on the opposite side, arguing, “They were totally unnecessary. Studies should be the only focus.” The debate got so heated, and they even said unkind words to each other in the end. After the debate, the two girls became rivals (竞争者) in everything they did, always trying to be better than the other. They were both very hard-working, devoting most of their nights to studying in the school library. Despite their rivalry, they were secretly interested in each other’s strengths. Anna admired Lingling’s math skills, and Lingling was impressed with Anna’s writing and public speaking abilities. They wanted to learn from each other but were just too proud to admit it. 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。 One night, Anna and Lingling found themselves locked in the school library together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, their classmates were surprised to see them chatting joyfully. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024-2025学年第二学期普通高中非毕业班教学质量检测 高二英语 第一部分 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 Explore the Maluku Islands and Raja Ampat Islands in Indonesia, and enjoy their rich biodiversity and breathtaking beauty for just $14,350!

(当纸干燥时，电池可以稳定放置。然而，只需加几滴水，电池在20秒内就会被激活。随着纸张变干，新电池的工作性能会下降)”可知，当纸电池干燥时，它的效率会降低。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, Nyström predicts a future where these batteries are widely used. He says he is in contact with potential industry partners and believes these batteries could make their way into products within the next two to five years. (然而，Nyström预测这些电池将在未来得到广泛应用。他说，他正在与潜在的工业合作伙伴接触，并相信这些电池将在未来两到五年内进入产品)”可知，Nyström认为他们的发明前景光明。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Their new study in Scientific Reports describes a water-activated paper battery developed from environmentally friendly materials that could eventually present a sustainable alternative to the more harmful batteries common in low-power devices. (他们在《科学报告》上发表的一项新研究描述了一种由环保材料制成的水激活纸电池，这种电池最终可能会成为低功耗设备中常见有害电池的可持续替代品)”可知，文章主要介绍了瑞士研究人员研发的一种由环保材料制成的水激活纸电池及其应用前景。可知，B选项“Sustainable Battery Invented (可持续电池被发明)”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D The lack of something we consider vital, such as time or food, can powerfully shape our thinking and behavior. Take money, for example, when people play a game that makes some players suddenly wealthier or poorer, those who lose money start making decisions that result in their being better off now but worse off later. One potential explanation for this tendency is that shortage of something is mentally challenging. Not having enough of what we need becomes a distraction that makes it harder for us to focus and plan. In recent work, however, we found that people react to water shortage very differently than they do to other shortages. People in places in short of water think more about the long term. Worrying about water shortage led to better planning and less wasteful behavior - not only with water but with other resources, too. In one experiment, we brought 211 college students to the lab and asked some of them to read an article that predicted the worst “water shortage in 1,200 years.” Others read a more upbeat article about how climate change means more rain and therefore enough water. The rest of the students completed the study without reading an article. We then asked the students how important it was to save resources and think about the long term. Participants who read about a serious shortage agreed more with statements like “People should live for the future” and “There are things I resist buying today so I can save for tomorrow.” Participants reading the other article were pushed in the opposite direction. They were more likely to support living for the present and cared less about saving money and other resources when compared with those who didn’t read about climate change. Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities toward more cautious, future-oriented behavior. That may offer a ray of hope amid the threat of climate change. Water shortage could be uniquely powerful motivation for us to prepare for and respond to a warmer world. 12. Why does the author use money as an example? A. To point out its shortage. B. To explain its role in games. C. To prove its importance to people. D. To stress its impact on decision-making. 13. What does the author intend to do in paragraph 2? A. Give background information. B. Compare two different opinions. C. Provide findings of their research. D. Explain different people’s behaviors 14. What does the underlined word “upbeat” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Positive. B. Interesting. C. Thoughtful. D. Influential. 15. What implication does the author think their study has? A. We should save money for our future. B. Water shortage may stimulate actions. C. We should prepare for climate change. D. Global warming benefits us in some ways. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了缺乏某些重要资源（如金钱、食物、水）如何影响人们的思维和行为。文章强调，在全球变暖导致许多地方缺水的背景下，这种由缺水引发的更谨慎、面向未来的行为模式，或许能在气候变化带来的威胁中带来一丝希望，成为一种促使人们为更温暖的未来做好准备和行动的独特动力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Take money, for example, when people play a game that makes some players suddenly wealthier or poorer, those who lose money start making decisions that result in their being better off now but worse off later. (以金钱为例，当人们参与一种游戏，使得某些玩家突然变得富有或变得贫穷时，那些输钱的玩家就会做出一些决定，这些决定虽然会让他们当下状况变好，但最终会让他们变得更糟。)”可知，作者举例说明金钱的缺乏会如何影响决策，即失去金钱的人会做出当下更好但长远更糟的决定。这强调了金钱缺乏对决策的影响。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In recent work, however, we found that people react to water shortage very differently than they do to other shortages. People in places in short of water think more about the long term. (然而，在最近的研究中，我们发现人们对水资源短缺的反应与对其他类型的短缺的反应有着显著的不同。在水资源匮乏的地区，人们会更多地考虑长远问题。)”可知，这一段介绍了作者近期关于人们对水资源短缺反应的研究发现，即与其它短缺不同，缺水让人们更关注长远，并进行更好的规划和减少浪费。因此，作者在第二段的意图是提供他们研究的发现。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“In one experiment, we brought 211 college students to the lab and asked some of them to read an article that predicted the worst “water shortage in 1,200 years.” (在一项实验中，我们召集了 211 名大学生来到实验室，并要求其中一些人阅读一篇预测“未来 1200 年内将出现史上最严重水资源短缺”的文章。)”以及“Others read a more upbeat article about how climate change means more rain and therefore enough water.(还有一些人则读到了一篇更为……的文章，文中提到气候变化意味着降雨量会增多，从而也就意味着会有充足的水资源。)”可知，“upbeat article”与预测“water shortage in 1,200 years”的文章形成对比。既然一篇是关于严重缺水的，那么另一篇关于“更多雨水和足够的水”的文章应该是比较积极、乐观的。因此，“upbeat”意为“积极的，乐观的”。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Our work suggests that as many places dry up, global warming could reshape how people think, pushing entire communities toward more cautious, future-oriented behavior. That may offer a ray of hope amid the threat of climate change. Water shortage could be uniquely powerful motivation for us to prepare for and respond to a warmer world.( 我们的研究表明，随着越来越多的地区出现干旱，全球变暖可能会改变人们的思维方式，促使整个社区采取更为谨慎、面向未来的行动方式。这在气候变化带来的威胁面前或许能带来一丝希望。水资源短缺可能会成为我们为一个更温暖的世界做好准备并做出应对的独一无二的强大动力。)”可知，作者认为他们的研究表明，水资源短缺作为一种独特的强大动力，可能促使（推动）人们采取更谨慎、面向未来的行为，这在全球气候变化的威胁下可能带来希望，是一种应对变暖世界的动力。因此，研究的启示是水资源短缺可能激发（刺激）行动。故选B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。 Almost one-third of adults aged 65 and older have never used the Internet, and half don’t have Internet access at home. Of those who do use the Internet, nearly half need someone else’s help to set up a new digital device. ____16____ If we do not provide technology access and training to older adults, we shut them out from society, worsening the loneliness among the elderly, which has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death. Technology can serve as an important tool to help reduce these risks, but only if we provide older adults with the skills they need to access our digital world. There is concern about digital technology use increasing isolation (孤立) among younger populations. ____17____ This is especially true for those who live far away from family or have lost the loved ones they relied on for social support in their younger years. Elders can use online tools to connect with friends and family even if they can no longer physically visit them. We need programs to improve older adults’ use of technology and confidence in key digital skills. ____18____ They also need to have tech support call lines tailored to older adults less familiar with the Internet. To be sure, many older adults express a lack of interest in technology. ____19____ Appropriate training can help to overcome these fears and generate interest. With greater investment in providing accessible devices and digital training, technology has the potential to become a powerful tool for reducing loneliness among older adults, empowering them to connect, create, and contribute online. ____20____ A. This probably results from a fear of it. B. Technology is surely significant to the society. C. As one elder put it “It’s time to catch up and join the world.” D. However, it’s not certain that this isolation will appear or not. E. Technology companies should design devices specifically for elders. F. However, the connection that is possible online can be valuable for older adults. G. Mastering digital technology is a key aspect of senior citizens’ participation in society. 【答案】16. G 17. F 18. E 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章指出老年人数字技术使用现状，强调其掌握数字技术对融入社会的重要性及相关措施。 【16题详解】 由上文“Almost one-third of adults aged 65 and older have never used the Internet...nearly half need someone else’s help to set up a new digital device.(65岁及以上的成年人中，近三分之一从未使用过互联网，一半人家里没有网络。在使用互联网的人中，近一半需要他人帮助来设置新数字设备。)”可知，此处呈现老年人数字技术使用的现状。空格后提到“If we do not provide technology access and training to older adults, we shut them out from society, worsening the loneliness among the elderly, which has been associated with depression, functional decline, and death.(如果我们不为老年人提供技术获取和培训，我们就会把他们排除在社会之外，加剧老年人的孤独感，这与抑郁症、功能衰退和死亡有关。)”，这里强调数字技术对老年人融入社会的重要性。G项Mastering digital technology is a key aspect of senior citizens’ participation in society.)掌握数字技术是老年人参与社会的关键方面。)既承接了上文老年人的技术困境，又引出后文“不提供技术支持的后果”，其中“participation in society”与后文“shut them out from society”形成正反呼应。故选G项。 【17题详解】 上文提到“There is concern about digital technology use increasing isolation among younger populations.(有人担心数字技术的使用会加剧年轻群体的孤立。)”，指出对年轻人的担忧。空格后“This is especially true for those who live far away from family or have lost the loved ones they relied on for social support in their younger years.(对于那些远离家人或失去了年轻时赖以获得社会支持的亲人的人来说尤其如此。)”，转而说明数字技术对老年人的积极意义。F项However, the connection that is possible online can be valuable for older adults.(然而，在线连接对老年人可能极具价值。)用However转折，将话题从年轻人转向老年人，“connection online”与后文“use online tools to connect”直接呼应，符合上下文逻辑。故选F项。 【18题详解】 段落首句指出“We need programs to improve older adults’ use of technology and confidence in key digital skills.(我们需要项目来提升老年人的技术使用和对关键数字技能的信心。)”，这里强调需求。空格后“They also need to have tech support call lines tailored to older adults less familiar with the Internet.(他们还需要为不太熟悉互联网的老年人量身定制技术支持电话线。)”，用also引出具体措施。E项Technology companies should design devices specifically for elders.(科技公司应专门为老年人设计设备。)与后文“tech support call lines”并列，同为提升老年人数字技能的具体方案，“design devices specifically”对应“tailored to older adults”，形成逻辑上的并列递进。故选E项。 【19题详解】 上文提到“many older adults express a lack of interest in technology.(许多老年人对技术缺乏兴趣。)”，说明现象。空格后“Appropriate training can help to overcome these fears and generate interest.(适当的培训可帮助克服这些恐惧并激发兴趣。)”，提到“fears(恐惧)”这一原因。A项This probably results from a fear of it.(这可能源于对技术的恐惧。) 中“results from a fear”与后文“overcome these fears”形成因果呼应，解释了老年人缺乏兴趣的原因，其中it指代前文technology。故选A项。 20题详解】 空格位于文末，前文强调“With greater investment in providing accessible devices and digital training, technology has the potential to become a powerful tool for reducing loneliness among older adults, empowering them to connect, create, and contribute online. (随着对提供无障碍设备和数字培训的更多投资，技术有可能成为减少老年人孤独感的有力工具，使他们能够在线连接、创造和贡献。)”，阐述技术对老年人的积极影响。C项As one elder put it, “It’s time to catch up and join the world.”(正如一位老人所说：“是时候赶上并融入世界了。”) 用老人的引言进一步佐证前文观点，“catch up and join the world”与“connect, create, and contribute online”形成语义呼应，以具体实例收束全文，增强说服力。故选C项。 第二部分 综合应用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My aunt Mantha loved Christmas and always went out of her way to make it cozy for everyone around her.

They got top grades in their exams and impressed their teachers and classmates with how well they did in school. However, there was one thing they were not good at — getting along with each other. They never talked or hung out with each other and always seemed to be competing against each other. Anna was outgoing, showing great talents in public speaking and writing. She was always volunteering for school events, joining clubs, and participating in out-of-class activities. But she had a hard time making friends because she was always so busy. Lingling on the other hand, was relatively shy and quiet. She was a math whiz (高手) and could solve problems that seemed impossible to others. She spent most of her time studying, saying “I don’t see the value in spending time on things that don’t directly contribute to my academic success.” One day, they had a class debate about whether out-of-class activities were important for students. “Of course they’re important. They help develop our social skills,” Anna spoke up on behalf of those supporting out-of-class activities. Meanwhile, Lingling stood on the opposite side, arguing, “They were totally unnecessary. Studies should be the only focus.” The debate got so heated, and they even said unkind words to each other in the end. After the debate, the two girls became rivals (竞争者) in everything they did, always trying to be better than the other. They were both very hard-working, devoting most of their nights to studying in the school library. Despite their rivalry, they were secretly interested in each other’s strengths. Anna admired Lingling’s math skills, and Lingling was impressed with Anna’s writing and public speaking abilities. They wanted to learn from each other but were just too proud to admit it. 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。 One night, Anna and Lingling found themselves locked in the school library together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few days later, their classmates were surprised to see them chatting joyfully. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One night, Anna and Lingling found themselves locked in the school library together. At first, the atmosphere was tense, with neither willing to break the ice. But as time passed, the silence became unbearable. Anna finally spoke up, “I’ve always admired your math skills.” Lingling was surprised but then replied, “I’ve also been impressed by your public-speaking and writing.” They started to share their learning experiences. Lingling taught Anna some math tricks, and Anna shared her tips on public speaking. By the end of the night, they realized they had a lot to learn from each other. A few days later, their classmates were surprised to see them chatting joyfully. They had decided to put aside their rivalry and become friends. They began to study together regularly. Anna helped Lingling improve her public-speaking skills by encouraging her to join a debate club, and Lingling tutored Anna in math. They also worked on a school project together, combining their different strengths. Their teamwork was so successful that they won an award for the project. From then on, they not only became great friends but also a powerful team, showing everyone at school that cooperation can achieve more than competition. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在安德森高中，安娜和玲玲是班上最有才华的学生，但彼此不和，总在竞争。一次辩论后，她们成为对手，却暗自欣赏对方。一晚被困图书馆，她们破冰交流，发现彼此值得学习。后来她们成为朋友，互相帮助，合作完成项目并获奖，证明合作胜于竞争的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天晚上，安娜和玲玲发现自己被锁在学校图书馆里。”可知，第一段可描写安娜和玲玲被锁在学校图书馆后互相交流的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“几天后，他们的同学惊讶地看到他们愉快地聊天。”可知，第二段可描写安娜和玲玲成为朋友以及一起合作完成项目的过程。 2.续写线索：安娜和玲玲被锁在学校图书馆——安娜终于开口打破沉默——相互交流——意识到有很多东西要向对方学习——她们成为朋友——一起合作完成项目 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realized /was aware of ②决定做某事：decided to /was determined to do ③展示：showing / demonstrating 情绪类 ①难以忍受的：unbearable/ insufferable ②惊讶的：surprised / amazed 【点睛】[高分句型1] At first, the atmosphere was tense, with neither willing to break the ice.（运用了with的复合结构作状语） [高分句型2] From then on, they not only became great friends but also a powerful team, showing everyone at school that cooperation can achieve more than competition.（运用了not only…but also…的固定句型以及非谓语动词中的现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
