Carnival of Oruro, Bolivia As one of the largest events in South America which has been held since the 18th century, it was recognized by UNESCO as a masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. Every year, dozens of groups wear colorful costumes or masks and perform folk dances that draw crowds up to 400,000 annually, celebrating pre-Columbian traditions. Underwater Music Festival, the USA It starts from 1985 and its founder took music festivals to a whole new level with the aim to protect the corals (珊瑚). The event houses radio playlists and ocean-themed songs streaming live from underwater speakers along with musician-divers and local people playing instruments with strange shapes. Day of the Little Candles, Colombia This festival can date back to 1854 and Colombia’s windows, balconies, and sidewalks would come alive on the night of every December 7. And houses and streets are decorated with candles in varying colors and paper lanterns by families. Many people also consider it the unofficial start of the Christmas season when cities and towns debut (初次登场) their Christmas lights and decorations. World Toe Wrestling Championship, England This competition is not a new competition, with its history going back to 1976. The sport involves two opponents who lock feet in an attempt to pin each other’s foot down in the least time possible, similar to arm wrestling. There are three rounds played on a best of 2 out of 3 bases. Rounds kick-start with the right foot, then left and followed by right again. 1. What is the intention of the Underwater Music Festival? A. To promote underwater tourism. B. To test the effects of music on corals. C. To raise awareness about coral protection. D. To create a unique musical experience for divers. 2. The Day of the Little Candles in Colombia is best described as a festival that ________. A. officially marks the beginning of the Christmas season B. combines religious traditions with community decoration C. focuses only on lighting candles for religious purposes D. emphasizes competitive candle-making among families 3. What do these four festivals have in common? A. They are all held in the same country. B. They all involve music performances. C. They all offer unique cultural experiences. D. They all have a history of less than 50 years. B When 16-year-old Jude first arrived in Australia to study in high school for a year and lived with a host family, excitement filled her heart about everything new. Despite attending a one-day preparatory meeting as an exchange student, culture shock was unavoidable. In the first few weeks, known as “honeymoon stage I”, Jude felt joyful being in the new culture. But this positive feeling didn’t stay. After around two months, she began to miss her friends and family deeply. Frustrating thoughts crowded her mind: “Nobody really gets me, and my English is far from good. If only people could speak German for a day! If only the public transportation worked like it does at home!” Clearly, she had entered “honeymoon stage II”. During the following months, Jude gradually and unconsciously stepped into the “adjustment stage”. She formed her own daily routine, learned different ways to deal with stress, and made many new friends. Her English improved significantly, and she understood Australian culture better. This was a huge personal breakthrough. Day by day, she felt more at home in Australia. She picked up many new characteristics while still keeping some from her home country. She even thought of herself as “having a second nationality”. This process in her last months abroad is called the “mastery stage”. Her happiest moment came when a dear friend said during a chat, “You are Australian now, Jude! You sound just like us!” It’s important to note that the impacts of culture shock differ from person to person, leading to various behaviors and feelings. Also, the time when each stage occurs varies greatly among individuals. One thing is certain-culture shock is inescapable, and acceptance is the first key step to better adapt to a foreign culture. 4. Why did Jude attend a one-day preparatory meeting? A. To learn about Australian culture in advance. B. To avoid culture shock completely. C. To make friends with other exchange students. D. To prepare for her high school entrance exam. 5. What did Jude feel during “honeymoon stage II”? A. Happy and excited. B. Lonely and frustrated. C. Confident and proud. D. Comfortable and relaxed. 6. What happened during Jude’s “adjustment stage”? A. She refused to accept new things. B. She had difficulty learning English. C. She missed her home more than before. D. She made progress in understanding Australian culture. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A. Everyone experiences the same culture shock. B. The “mastery stage” is the most difficult stage. C. Culture shock can be avoided with good preparation. D. Accepting culture shock helps adapt to a new culture. C Playing soft classical music, such as lullabies, can help reduce pain in babies during medical tests, according to a new study. At a hospital, doctors often give newborns sweet sugar water before performing a heel prick (足后跟刺血), a common method to reduce pain. However, in this study, about half of the babies also listened to soft classical music before, during, and after the procedure. The babies who heard music had lower pain scores compared to those who only received sugar water. Mallory Perry-Eaddy, a nurse studying children’s health, suggests that while sugar water helps, adding music may be even more effective. This is important because babies do feel pain, possibly more strongly than adults. If babies have painful tests without any help to feel better, it can affect their nervous system and make them more sensitive to pain later in life. Common procedures for newborns include heel pricks and shots. The heel prick is used to collect blood for tests. Non-medicine methods like holding the baby close, breastfeeding, or giving sugar water are often used to reduce pain. Researchers at a medical center explored if music could be another simple and cost-effective way to help babies. In the study, 100 babies were divided into two groups: one group listened to a piece called “Deep Sleep” from a classical music album, starting 20 minutes before the heel prick and continuing for five minutes after. The other group did not listen to music. The music group had an average pain score of below 5 during the heel prick, while the non-music group scored just under 7. After the test, both groups’ scores decreased, but the music group maintained lower scores. Although more research is needed to determine the best methods for reducing pain in babies, it’s evident that safe and effective methods are underused. This study aims to raise awareness about the importance of helping babies manage pain, as some healthcare facilities still don’t think it’s a big problem. 8. What can help reduce pain in babies more effectively during medical tests? A. Playing loud rock music. B. Giving newborns sugar water. C. Playing soft classical music. D. Giving newborns a bath. 9. What can we infer from the passage about babies’ feeling of pain? A. Babies don’t feel pain at all. B. Babies might feel more pain than adults. C. Babies feel pain less strongly than adults. D. Babies only feel pain during medical tests. 10. What dose the underlined word “sensitive” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. easily affected B. not feeling anything C. very strong D. not interested 11. What is the best title for this passage? A. How to Give Babies Medical Tests B. The Role of Sugar Water in Reducing Babies’ Pain C. The Importance of Pain Management in Healthcare D. Music: A Potential Solution for Babies’ Pain During Medical Tests D Have you ever watched a flock of birds flying in perfect formation and wondered if they’re communicating or feeling anything? Or seen a wild fox carefully tending to its young and thought about the emotions it might possess? The question of whether animals have emotions has aroused humans’ curiosity for centuries, and recent research is shedding more light on this fascinating topic. Scientists have been conducting various studies to explore animal emotions. For instance, elephants are known to display behaviors that suggest deep emotions. When an elephant in a herd dies, the others often gather around the body, touching it gently with their trunks, staying with it for hours or even days. This behavior is not just an occasional action; it seems to indicate a sense of loss and sadness. Dolphins, too, show signs of strong social bonds and emotions. They cooperate while hunting, support injured or sick members of the group, and engage in playful activities, which imply they experience positive feelings like joy and fellowship. However, understanding animal emotions isn’t always simple. Different species express emotions in unique ways, and what might seem like an emotional response in one species could have a different explanation in another. Some critics argue that the behaviors we interpret as emotional are merely instinctive reactions to survival needs. But as more in-depth research is carried out, using advanced technologies to study brain activity in animals, a growing body of evidence suggests that many animals do indeed experience emotions. This new understanding of animal emotions has significant implications. It challenges us to re-understand our relationship with animals, especially in fields such as animal agriculture and wildlife tourism. If animals can feel joy, pain, fear, and sadness, then how we treat them becomes an important ethical (伦理的) consideration. We may need to adjust our practices to ensure that we respect their emotional well-being, just as we would for other humans. 12. Which animals are mentioned to show sadness when a member of their group dies? A. Birds B. Elephants C. Dolphins D. Foxes 13. What do scientists do to further study animal emotions? A. Observe their daily activities. B. Communicate with them directly. C. Compare their behaviors with humans’. D. Use advanced technologies to study brain activity. 14. What can we infer from the findings in the last two paragraphs? A. It’s easy to understand the emotions of all different species. B. All animals experience emotions in exactly the same way as humans. C. The behaviors of animals are always caused by their survival needs. D. Our current practices in animal agriculture may need to be improved. 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The methods of studying animal emotions. B. The unique ways animals express emotions. C. The influence of understanding animal emotions. D. The challenges in understanding animal emotions. 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel that your life is stuck in a rut?

But he didn’t make any sales. Feeling very sad, he almost wanted to give up. Also, his stomach was growling loudly because he hadn’t eaten for days. With no other option, he decided to ask for food at the next house. He was a bit scared as he knocked on the door, not sure what to say. When the door opened, a kind-looking young woman stood there. Howard got even more nervous. “Could… could you give me a drink of water?” he asked, looking down at his feet. The woman saw how thin and tired the boy was. She thought he needed something more than just water to feel better, so she brought him a glass of milk instead. Howard held the cup with his small hands and drank the milk slowly. Then he asked, “How much do I have to pay you?” The woman smiled kindly and said, “You don’t need to pay me anything. My mother always told me that we should help others without asking for money in return.” Howard was so touched. “Thank you so much!” he said with a big smile. As he walked away, he felt not only stronger in his body but also more hopeful about people. Many years passed. The kind young woman became very sick. The doctors in her small town couldn’t help her, so they sent her to a big hospital in the city. There, many famous doctors would try to cure her. One of them was Dr. Howard Kelly.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了世界四个独具特色的节日活动。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。 根据Underwater Music Festival, the USA部分中“It starts from 1985 and its founder took music festivals to a whole new level with the aim to protect the corals (珊瑚).(该活动始于1985年，其创始人将音乐节提升到了一个全新的高度，旨在保护珊瑚)”可知，水下音乐节的目的是提高人们对珊瑚保护的意识。故选C。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Day of the Little Candles, Colombia部分中“This festival can date back to 1854 and Colombia’s windows, balconies, and sidewalks would come alive on the night of every December 7. And houses and streets are decorated with candles in varying colors and paper lanterns by families. Many people also consider it the unofficial start of the Christmas season when cities and towns debut (初次登场) their Christmas lights and decorations.(这个节日可以追溯到1854年，每年12月7日晚上，哥伦比亚的窗户、阳台和人行道都会变得生机勃勃。家家户户用五颜六色的蜡烛和纸灯笼装饰房屋和街道。许多人还认为这是圣诞节的非正式开始，因为城市和城镇会首次展示他们的圣诞灯和装饰)”可知，哥伦比亚的小蜡烛节结合了宗教传统（与圣诞节相关）和社区装饰（家家户户装饰房屋和街道）。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Here are four festivals around the world that can offer you special and unique experiences.(以下是世界各地的四个节日，可以为你提供特殊而独特的体验)”以及后文对四个节日的详细介绍可知，这四个节日的共同点是它们都提供独特的文化体验。故选C。 B When 16-year-old Jude first arrived in Australia to study in high school for a year and lived with a host family, excitement filled her heart about everything new.

She even thought of herself as “having a second nationality”. This process in her last months abroad is called the “mastery stage”. Her happiest moment came when a dear friend said during a chat, “You are Australian now, Jude! You sound just like us!” It’s important to note that the impacts of culture shock differ from person to person, leading to various behaviors and feelings. Also, the time when each stage occurs varies greatly among individuals. One thing is certain-culture shock is inescapable, and acceptance is the first key step to better adapt to a foreign culture. 4. Why did Jude attend a one-day preparatory meeting? A. To learn about Australian culture in advance. B. To avoid culture shock completely. C. To make friends with other exchange students. D. To prepare for her high school entrance exam. 5. What did Jude feel during “honeymoon stage II”? A. Happy and excited. B. Lonely and frustrated. C. Confident and proud. D. Comfortable and relaxed. 6. What happened during Jude’s “adjustment stage”? A. She refused to accept new things. B. She had difficulty learning English. C. She missed her home more than before. D. She made progress in understanding Australian culture. 7. What can we learn from the passage? A Everyone experiences the same culture shock. B. The “mastery stage” is the most difficult stage. C. Culture shock can be avoided with good preparation. D. Accepting culture shock helps adapt to a new culture. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述16岁的Jude在澳大利亚经历文化冲击及四个阶段的适应过程。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Despite attending a one-day preparatory meeting as an exchange student, culture shock was unavoidable.(尽管作为交换生参加了为期一天的预备会议，但文化冲击还是不可避免的。)”可知，Jude参加预备会议是为了提前了解相关情况，以便更好地应对在澳大利亚的生活，而了解当地文化是其中重要部分。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After around two months, she began to miss her friends and family deeply. Frustrating thoughts crowded her mind: “Nobody really gets me, and my English is far from good. If only people could speak German for a day! If only the public transportation worked like it does at home!” Clearly, she had entered “honeymoon stage II”.(大约两个月后，她开始无比思念亲友。各种沮丧的念头涌上心头：“没人真正懂我，我的英语也差得远。要是大家能说一天德语就好了！要是这里的公共交通能像家乡那样运转就好了！” 显然，她已进入“第二阶段蜜月期”。)”可知，Jude在“第二蜜月期”感到孤独和沮丧。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“During the following months, Jude gradually and unconsciously stepped into the “adjustment stage”. She formed her own daily routine, learned different ways to deal with stress, and made many new friends. Her English improved significantly, and she understood Australian culture better. (在接下来的几个月里，Jude不知不觉地步入了“调整期”。她形成了自己的日常生活规律，学会了不同的减压方法，交了很多新朋友。她的英语有了显著提高，对澳大利亚文化也有了更深的理解。)”可知，在“调整期”，Jude在理解澳大利亚文化方面取得了进步。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“One thing is certain-culture shock is inescapable, and acceptance is the first key step to better adapt to a foreign culture.(有一点是肯定的——文化冲击是不可避免的，接受是更好地适应外国文化的第一个关键步骤。)”可知，接受文化冲击有助于适应新文化。故选D项。 C Playing soft classical music, such as lullabies, can help reduce pain in babies during medical tests, according to a new study. At a hospital, doctors often give newborns sweet sugar water before performing a heel prick (足后跟刺血), a common method to reduce pain. However, in this study, about half of the babies also listened to soft classical music before, during, and after the procedure. The babies who heard music had lower pain scores compared to those who only received sugar water. Mallory Perry-Eaddy, a nurse studying children’s health, suggests that while sugar water helps, adding music may be even more effective. This is important because babies do feel pain, possibly more strongly than adults. If babies have painful tests without any help to feel better, it can affect their nervous system and make them more sensitive to pain later in life. Common procedures for newborns include heel pricks and shots. The heel prick is used to collect blood for tests. Non-medicine methods like holding the baby close, breastfeeding, or giving sugar water are often used to reduce pain. Researchers at a medical center explored if music could be another simple and cost-effective way to help babies. In the study, 100 babies were divided into two groups: one group listened to a piece called “Deep Sleep” from a classical music album, starting 20 minutes before the heel prick and continuing for five minutes after. The other group did not listen to music. The music group had an average pain score of below 5 during the heel prick, while the non-music group scored just under 7. After the test, both groups’ scores decreased, but the music group maintained lower scores. Although more research is needed to determine the best methods for reducing pain in babies, it’s evident that safe and effective methods are underused. This study aims to raise awareness about the importance of helping babies manage pain, as some healthcare facilities still don’t think it’s a big problem. 8. What can help reduce pain in babies more effectively during medical tests? A. Playing loud rock music. B. Giving newborns sugar water. C. Playing soft classical music. D. Giving newborns a bath. 9. What can we infer from the passage about babies’ feeling of pain? A. Babies don’t feel pain at all. B. Babies might feel more pain than adults. C. Babies feel pain less strongly than adults. D. Babies only feel pain during medical tests. 10. What dose the underlined word “sensitive” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. easily affected B. not feeling anything C. very strong D. not interested 11. What is the best title for this passage? A. How to Give Babies Medical Tests B. The Role of Sugar Water in Reducing Babies’ Pain C. The Importance of Pain Management in Healthcare D. Music: A Potential Solution for Babies’ Pain During Medical Tests 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讨论的是用轻柔古典音乐缓解婴儿医疗疼痛的研究。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第一段第一句“Playing soft classical music, such as lullabies, can help reduce pain in babies during medical tests, according to a new study.(一项新研究表明，播放轻柔的古典音乐，如摇篮曲，可以帮助婴儿在医疗检查过程中减轻疼痛)”可知，播放轻柔的古典音乐能帮助在医学检查期间更有效地减轻婴儿的疼痛。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“This is important because babies do feel pain, possibly more strongly than adults.(这很重要，因为婴儿确实会感到疼痛，可能比成年人更强烈)”可以推知，婴儿可能比成年人更强烈地感受到疼痛。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“If babies have painful tests without any help to feel better, it can affect their nervous system and make them more sensitive to pain later in life.(如果婴儿在没有任何帮助的情况下进行痛苦的测试，这可能会影响他们的神经系统，使他们在以后的生活中对疼痛更sensitive)”可知，如果婴儿在检查时没有帮助减轻痛苦，以后会对疼痛更容易受到影响，。由此猜测划线词意为“easily affected（容易受到影响）”的意思，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章开篇就提出新研究表明播放轻柔的古典音乐可以帮助婴儿在医疗检查过程中减轻疼痛，接着详细介绍了研究过程和结果，最后强调要重视帮助婴儿管理疼痛。所以整篇文章围绕音乐在减轻婴儿医疗检查时疼痛的作用展开，D选项“Music: A Potential Solution for Babies’ Pain During Medical Tests(音乐：医学检查期间婴儿疼痛的潜在解决方案)”最能概括文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选D。 D Have you ever watched a flock of birds flying in perfect formation and wondered if they’re communicating or feeling anything? Or seen a wild fox carefully tending to its young and thought about the emotions it might possess? The question of whether animals have emotions has aroused humans’ curiosity for centuries, and recent research is shedding more light on this fascinating topic. Scientists have been conducting various studies to explore animal emotions. For instance, elephants are known to display behaviors that suggest deep emotions. When an elephant in a herd dies, the others often gather around the body, touching it gently with their trunks, staying with it for hours or even days. This behavior is not just an occasional action; it seems to indicate a sense of loss and sadness. Dolphins, too, show signs of strong social bonds and emotions. They cooperate while hunting, support injured or sick members of the group, and engage in playful activities, which imply they experience positive feelings like joy and fellowship. However, understanding animal emotions isn’t always simple. Different species express emotions in unique ways, and what might seem like an emotional response in one species could have a different explanation in another. Some critics argue that the behaviors we interpret as emotional are merely instinctive reactions to survival needs. But as more in-depth research is carried out, using advanced technologies to study brain activity in animals, a growing body of evidence suggests that many animals do indeed experience emotions. This new understanding of animal emotions has significant implications. It challenges us to re-understand our relationship with animals, especially in fields such as animal agriculture and wildlife tourism. If animals can feel joy, pain, fear, and sadness, then how we treat them becomes an important ethical (伦理的) consideration. We may need to adjust our practices to ensure that we respect their emotional well-being, just as we would for other humans. 12. Which animals are mentioned to show sadness when a member of their group dies? A. Birds B. Elephants C. Dolphins D. Foxes 13. What do scientists do to further study animal emotions? A. Observe their daily activities. B. Communicate with them directly. C. Compare their behaviors with humans’. D. Use advanced technologies to study brain activity. 14. What can we infer from the findings in the last two paragraphs? A. It’s easy to understand the emotions of all different species. B. All animals experience emotions in exactly the same way as humans. C. The behaviors of animals are always caused by their survival needs. D. Our current practices in animal agriculture may need to be improved. 15. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The methods of studying animal emotions. B. The unique ways animals express emotions. C. The influence of understanding animal emotions. D. The challenges in understanding animal emotions. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了动物是否有情感及研究进展与伦理意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中“When an elephant in a herd dies, the others often gather around the body, touching it gently with their trunks, staying with it for hours or even days. This behavior is not just an occasional action; it seems to indicate a sense of loss and sadness.(当象群中的一头大象死亡时，其他大象经常会聚集在尸体周围，用鼻子轻轻触碰它，陪伴数小时甚至数天。这种行为并非偶然，似乎表明它们有失落和悲伤的情绪)”可知，大象在群体成员死亡时会表现出悲伤。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But as more in-depth research is carried out, using advanced technologies to study brain activity in animals, a growing body of evidence suggests that many animals do indeed experience emotions.(但随着更深入的研究开展，利用先进技术研究动物大脑活动，越来越多的证据表明许多动物确实有情感体验)”可知，科学家利用先进技术研究动物大脑活动来进一步研究动物情感。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If animals can feel joy, pain, fear, and sadness, then how we treat them becomes an important ethical (伦理的) consideration. We may need to adjust our practices to ensure that we respect their emotional well-being, just as we would for other humans.(如果动物能感受到快乐、痛苦、恐惧和悲伤，那么我们对待它们的方式就成为一个重要的伦理考量。我们可能需要调整我们的做法，以确保我们尊重它们的情感健康，就像对待其他人类一样)”可推知，我们在动物农业中的现有做法可能需要改进。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨 大意题。根据最后一段中“This new understanding of animal emotions has significant implications.(这种对动物情感的新理解具有重大意义)”以及后文内容可知，最后一段主要讲述了对动物情感的新理解对人类与动物关系的影响，如挑战我们重新评估在动物养殖和野生动物旅游等方面与动物的关系，以及需要调整做法以尊重动物情感福祉等，所以主要内容是理解动物情感对人类与动物关系的影响。故选C。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Do you ever feel that your life is stuck in a rut?

But he didn’t make any sales. Feeling very sad, he almost wanted to give up. Also, his stomach was growling loudly because he hadn’t eaten for days. With no other option, he decided to ask for food at the next house. He was a bit scared as he knocked on the door, not sure what to say. When the door opened, a kind-looking young woman stood there. Howard got even more nervous. “Could… could you give me a drink of water?” he asked, looking down at his feet. The woman saw how thin and tired the boy was. She thought he needed something more than just water to feel better, so she brought him a glass of milk instead. Howard held the cup with his small hands and drank the milk slowly. Then he asked, “How much do I have to pay you?” The woman smiled kindly and said, “You don’t need to pay me anything. My mother always told me that we should help others without asking for money in return.” Howard was so touched. “Thank you so much!” he said with a big smile. As he walked away, he felt not only stronger in his body but also more hopeful about people. Many years passed. The kind young woman became very sick. The doctors in her small town couldn’t help her, so they sent her to a big hospital in the city. There, many famous doctors would try to cure her. One of them was Dr. Howard Kelly. When he heard where the sick woman came from, he remembered something important. He quickly got up and rushed to her room. 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。 Entering the room Dr. Kelly saw the woman lying weakly on the bed. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The bill (住院账单) was sent to her room ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version 1: Entering the room, Dr. Kelly saw the woman lying weakly on the bed. The instant he saw the pale face in the hospital bed, the memory of her warm smile washed over him. Half shocked, half concerned, he determined to bring her back to health and make her smile reappear. His urge to save the woman’s life drove him to make a detailed plan for her operation. Fortunately, the operation went successfully. Weeks later, with her face ruddy, she seemed to be in good condition. Before her discharge from the hospital, the woman asked for her bill. The bill was sent to her room. Not a single number did she find on the bill, only a picture of a glass of milk. With a confused expression, she saw a doctor stepping into her room. “How much should I pay?” knowing it must be loads of money, she dared not look directly into his eyes. “You needn’t pay for it. When I was young, one lady told me never to accept pay for a kindness.” Stepping forward, he placed his arms around the woman’s shoulder, with tears of happiness running down his face. Upon hearing that, it occurred to her suddenly that he was the very boy who asked her for a drink of water. Version 2: Entering the room, Dr. Kelly saw the woman lying weakly on the bed. A wave of concern washed over him as he approached. Initially failing to recognize the pale figure as the kind woman who once helped him, he focused on checking her vital signs, his brow furrowed in concentration. But as he examined her face more closely, memories flashed through his mind. His hands trembled slightly, realizing who she was. Determined to save her, he vowed to use all his medical skills. The bill was sent to her room. When she caught sight of the huge sum on the bill, her heart sank. A chill ran down her spine, thinking she could never afford it. Tears welled up in her eyes, filled with despair. Just then, Dr. Kelly walked in, holding the bill. Without a word, he tore it into small pieces, the sound of the paper ripping echoing in the quiet room. “You paid for my kindness with that milk long ago,” he said, a gentle smile on his face, “This is my way of showing my appreciation.” Overwhelmed with emotion, the woman burst into tears, her heart filled with gratitude and warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了贫穷的小男孩霍华德・凯利为支付学费挨家挨户推销商品却一无所获，饥寒交迫之际，他向一位年轻善良的女士讨水喝，女士却给了他一杯牛奶且分文未取。多年后，这位女士病重被转至大城市的大医院，而霍华德・凯利此时已是那里的医生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“走进病房，凯利医生看到那位女士虚弱地躺在床上。”可知，第一段可描写凯利医生进入病房后的情景。他看到病床上虚弱的女士，回忆涌上心头，决心治好她。他精心制定手术计划，手术成功，女士身体状况好转准备出院，引出下一段关于账单的情节。 ②由第二段首句内容“账单被送到了她的病房。”可知，第二段可描写女士收到账单的情景。账单上没有金额只有一杯牛奶的画，她疑惑时医生进来告知无需付费，她想起眼前的医生就是当年讨水喝的小男孩，体现善有善报的主题。 2.续写线索：进入病房认出女士 —— 决心治好她并制定计划 —— 手术成功女士好转 —— 收到账单疑惑 —— 医生解释 —— 女士想起往事 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①涌上心头：wash over/flood over/sweep over ②决心做某事：determine to do /decide to do ③想起：occur to sb. /come to sb.’s mind 情绪类： ①幸福：happiness /joy /delight ②疑惑： confused/puzzled /bewildered 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The instant he saw the pale face in the hospital bed, the memory of her warm smile washed over him.（运用了the instant 引导的时间状语从句 ） 【高分句型 2】Not a single number did she find on the bill, only a picture of a glass of milk.（运用了否定词 not 置于句首，句子部分倒装 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
