B On a sunny morning, I walked casually through the park, savoring the gentle breeze, with the simple desire to locate a quiet spot for a good book. Little did I know that an unexpected encounter with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience. Settling down on a comfortable bench under an oak tree, I was fascinated by a novel, lost in a world of fictional characters. Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted me. Curiously, I glanced in the direction of the noise, only to discover a squirrel hurrying towards my bag. Immediately, I reached out to protect my bag from the thief. But the squirrel ran away, grasping a chocolate bar stolen from my bag. Fueled by determination to get my snack back, I gave chase to the creature through the park. The squirrel displayed impressive flexibility, effortlessly jumping onto trees and leaping from branch to branch. Children and bystanders couldn’t help but laugh at the spectacle of a grown adult chasing a squirrel. The chase continued, and as I ran after the squirrel, I became both exhausted and awkward. The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter echoing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its comical effect, increased its speed and finally vanished into thin air. As I made my way back to the bench, my heart still raced from the pursuit. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of companionship with the squirrel. It had reminded me to embrace the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures. From that day forward, whenever I visit the park, I always keep a chocolate bar handy, just in case I come across my friend. 24. What did the author want to do in the park? A. Observe nature and wildlife. B. Find a quiet place to read. C. Enjoy the sunshine and gentle breeze. D. Have a picnic with his friends. 25. What did the squirrel do to the author? A. Tore up his book. B. Gave him some snacks. C. Stole his chocolate bar. D. Chased him in the park. 26. What lesson did the author learn from this experience? A. The importance of welcoming surprises. B. The habit of always carrying a chocolate bar. C. The significance of developing a new routine. D. The necessity of keeping a safe distance from animals. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. A Small Thief: An Annoying Squirrel B. Lost in a Book: A Squirrel’s Interruption C. An Unexpected Encounter: A Stealing Squirrel D. Importance of Routine: Lessons Learned in a Park C For Claire Carrillo, a 24-year-old from the Philippines, one special Chinese-branded product is worth traveling far and spending extra money on. It’s Pop Mart’s CryBaby toy—a gender-neutral (中性的) character with rosy cheeks and teary eyes. Carrillo is not alone in her love for Pop Mart. According to the company’s 2024 annual report, Pop Mart runs over 530 stores around the world, making around 13.2 billion yuan in total sales. One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” market, reported by The Franchise Courier. This group, mostly made up of millennials and Gen Z, enjoys hobbies usually associated with children, like collecting toys. The demand for memory-triggering items has helped collectible art toys become much more popular. Pop Mart has tapped into this trend by offering products that connect emotionally and visually with customers. For example, Carrillo relates to the CryBaby series because she sees herself as a crybaby. Ashley Jane Leow, a 25-year-old filmmaker from Singapore, collects figurines of Hirono (小野) and Nyota (塔塔) because they reflect her and her boyfriend’s personalities. Another important part of Pop Mart’s success is its blind box culture. According to Pop Mart World, the surprise of blind boxes lies in the fact that buyers do not know which toy they will get, pushing people to buy more. “Consumers often feel compelled (被强迫的) to buy more until they’ve obtained (获得) a rare or desirable item, increasing engagement with the brand,” The Franchise Courier noted. The fun of blind boxes also adds a little magic to daily life and builds community through sharing, trading and showing the toys, especially in a time when many people feel lonely because of so much time spent online, said Erica Kanesaka, an assistant professor at Emory University. This feeling of connection and excitement is exactly what attracts 26-year-old Amanda Lee in Singapore, who enjoys opening Pop Mart’s blind boxes during lunchtime with her colleagues. “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks to relieve some stress,” Lee told Time magazine. 28. According to Paragraph 3, what is a key reason for the rising popularity of collectible art toys? A. The unique visual designs of the toys. B. The strong demand for items that remind people of the past. C. The affordable prices offered by brands like Pop Mart. D. The clever marketing strategy using blind boxes. 29. Why do people like Claire Carrillo and Ashley Jane Leow buy Pop Mart toys? A. They enjoy the toys’ visual design and style. B. They like following popular social trends. C. They feel a personal connection with the toys. D. They find the toys affordable and unique. 30. How do blind boxes encourage consumers to spend more? A. By offering discounts on full sets. B. By raising the price of rare toys. C By creating anticipation and desire. D. By limiting the supply of each design. 31. What role does buying Pop Mart toys play in Amanda Lee’s life? A. A break from daily routine. B. A source of inspiration. C. A reward for her hard work. D. A way to reduce loneliness. D Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants. All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound (次声波), a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”. One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said. This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged the bee language AI database system in to a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move. Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been aught sign language to communicate with humans, this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom. 32. What does the underlined word “decipher” most probably mean in paragraph 2? A Imitate. B. Record. C. Produce. D. Understand. 33. What do we know about coral? A. They communicate through infrasound. B. Their sounds are within our range of hearing. C. They have no ears and cannot pick up sound. D. Sound waves help baby coral choose their home. 34. Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes? A. Coral. B. Whales. C. Elephants. D. Honeybees. 35. Why did researchers create the robot bee? A. To collect more bee dances. B. To convey direction to bees. C. To learn the language of bees. D. To help bees search for their friends. 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。 Tips to reduce food waste Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and wastes the resources it takes to grow the food. ___36___.

They agreed on 1, 000 dollars． After a week, the portrait was done. The rich man came to take the painting as scheduled. At this moment, the rich man hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist, so he refused to pay 1, 000 dollars. He thought, “The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting, no one will buy it. Why should I pay so much money for it?” So the rich man said, “I will only pay 300 dollars.” The young painter was astonished, for he had never come across such things. He strongly stood his ground, expecting the rich man to keep the agreement and to be a trustworthy man． “I can only pay 300 dollars to buy the painting. Speak no more.” The rich man thought he would win for sure, “I ask you at last, will you sell it 300 dollars or not?” The young painter knew the rich man deliberately (故意) went back on his word, so he felt very angry. He said a firm tone, “No, I would prefer not to sell the painting rather than being humiliated (羞辱) by a cheat like you. Today you break your word and someday you must pay 20 times for it.” “What a joke! 20 times will be 20, 000! I won’t be stupid to pay 20, 000 dollars to buy the painting!” “Well, we’d better wait and see.” the young artist cried to the rich man and left angrily． After the stimulation of such an incident, the painter moved out of his sad place, swearing to stand out in the circle of art and made the rich man bend his head. However, the rich man soon forgot the incident. 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。 Paragraph 1： Years later, the painter finally became popular and decided to hold an exhibition at the very place. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 ： The rich man went to see the exhibition the same night right away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 盘州市第二中学2024-2025学年度下学期高一期末模拟 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 （共5小题：每小题1. 5分，满分7. 5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A 、B 、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 When do the speakers need to check in?

Little did I know that an unexpected encounter with a naughty creature would turn this peaceful outing into an unforgettable experience. Settling down on a comfortable bench under an oak tree, I was fascinated by a novel, lost in a world of fictional characters. Suddenly, a strange sound interrupted me. Curiously, I glanced in the direction of the noise, only to discover a squirrel hurrying towards my bag. Immediately, I reached out to protect my bag from the thief. But the squirrel ran away, grasping a chocolate bar stolen from my bag. Fueled by determination to get my snack back, I gave chase to the creature through the park. The squirrel displayed impressive flexibility, effortlessly jumping onto trees and leaping from branch to branch. Children and bystanders couldn’t help but laugh at the spectacle of a grown adult chasing a squirrel. The chase continued, and as I ran after the squirrel, I became both exhausted and awkward. The peacefulness of the park transformed into a lively playground, with laughter echoing around us. The squirrel, seemingly aware of its comical effect, increased its speed and finally vanished into thin air. As I made my way back to the bench, my heart still raced from the pursuit. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of companionship with the squirrel. It had reminded me to embrace the unexpected, to break free from routine, and most importantly, to find joy in life’s simplest pleasures. From that day forward, whenever I visit the park, I always keep a chocolate bar handy, just in case I come across my friend. 24. What did the author want to do in the park? A.

(我不禁对这只松鼠产生了一种奇妙的亲近感。它让我懂得：要欣然接纳生活中的意外，打破常规的束缚，更重要的是，要从最简单的事物中发现快乐的真谛。)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者在公园里看书的时候，偶然遇到了一只松鼠偷了自己的巧克力，于是作者去追赶松鼠，从中获得了意外的乐趣的故事。因此，C项“不期而遇：一只偷东西的松鼠”涵盖故事中的两个核心要素：意外相遇和偷窃行为，契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 C For Claire Carrillo, a 24-year-old from the Philippines, one special Chinese-branded product is worth traveling far and spending extra money on. It’s Pop Mart’s CryBaby toy—a gender-neutral (中性的) character with rosy cheeks and teary eyes. Carrillo is not alone in her love for Pop Mart. According to the company’s 2024 annual report, Pop Mart runs over 530 stores around the world, making around 13.2 billion yuan in total sales. One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” market, reported by The Franchise Courier. This group, mostly made up of millennials and Gen Z, enjoys hobbies usually associated with children, like collecting toys. The demand for memory-triggering items has helped collectible art toys become much more popular. Pop Mart has tapped into this trend by offering products that connect emotionally and visually with customers. For example, Carrillo relates to the CryBaby series because she sees herself as a crybaby. Ashley Jane Leow, a 25-year-old filmmaker from Singapore, collects figurines of Hirono (小野) and Nyota (塔塔) because they reflect her and her boyfriend’s personalities. Another important part of Pop Mart’s success is its blind box culture. According to Pop Mart World, the surprise of blind boxes lies in the fact that buyers do not know which toy they will get, pushing people to buy more. “Consumers often feel compelled (被强迫的) to buy more until they’ve obtained (获得) a rare or desirable item, increasing engagement with the brand,” The Franchise Courier noted. The fun of blind boxes also adds a little magic to daily life and builds community through sharing, trading and showing the toys, especially in a time when many people feel lonely because of so much time spent online, said Erica Kanesaka, an assistant professor at Emory University. This feeling of connection and excitement is exactly what attracts 26-year-old Amanda Lee in Singapore, who enjoys opening Pop Mart’s blind boxes during lunchtime with her colleagues. “It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks to relieve some stress,” Lee told Time magazine. 28. According to Paragraph 3, what is a key reason for the rising popularity of collectible art toys? A. The unique visual designs of the toys. B. The strong demand for items that remind people of the past. C. The affordable prices offered by brands like Pop Mart. D. The clever marketing strategy using blind boxes. 29. Why do people like Claire Carrillo and Ashley Jane Leow buy Pop Mart toys? A. They enjoy the toys’ visual design and style. B. They like following popular social trends. C. They feel a personal connection with the toys. D. They find the toys affordable and unique. 30. How do blind boxes encourage consumers to spend more? A. By offering discounts on full sets. B. By raising the price of rare toys. C. By creating anticipation and desire. D. By limiting the supply of each design. 31 What role does buying Pop Mart toys play in Amanda Lee’s life? A. A break from daily routine. B. A source of inspiration. C. A reward for her hard work. D. A way to reduce loneliness. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了中国潮玩品牌泡泡玛特在全球范围内的成功，探讨了其受欢迎的原因，包括“kidult”市场的需求、情感连接以及盲盒文化的吸引力。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” market, reported by The Franchise Courier. This group, mostly made up of millennials and Gen Z, enjoys hobbies usually associated with children, like collecting toys. The demand for memory-triggering items has helped collectible art toys become much more popular. (泡泡玛特成功的一个重要原因，据《特许经营快递》报道，是“kidult”市场。这一群体主要由千禧一代和Z世代组成，他们热衷于通常与儿童相关的爱好，比如收集玩具。对能够唤起回忆的物品的需求，使得收藏类艺术玩偶变得更加受欢迎)”可知，收藏类艺术玩偶受欢迎的关键原因是人们对唤起回忆的物品有强烈需求。故选B项。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For example, Carrillo relates to the CryBaby series because she sees herself as a crybaby. Ashley Jane Leow, a 25-year-old filmmaker from Singapore, collects figurines of Hirono (小野) and Nyota (塔塔) because they reflect her and her boyfriend’s personalities. (例如，Carrillo觉得自己与CryBaby系列有共鸣，因为她觉得自己是个“爱哭鬼”。Ashley Jane Leow是一位来自新加坡的25岁电影制作人，她收藏小野和塔塔的玩偶，因为这些玩偶反映了她和她男朋友的性格)”可知，Claire Carrillo和Ashley Jane Leow购买泡泡玛特玩偶是因为他们与玩偶产生了个人情感上的联系。故选C项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“According to Pop Mart World, the surprise of blind boxes lies in the fact that buyers do not know which toy they will get, pushing people to buy more. “Consumers often feel compelled (被强迫的) to buy more until they’ve obtained (获得) a rare or desirable item, increasing engagement with the brand,” The Franchise Courier noted. (根据Pop Mart World的说法，盲盒的惊喜之处在于买家不知道他们会得到哪个玩偶，这促使人们购买更多。“消费者常常会感到被迫购买更多，直到他们获得一个稀有或心仪的物品，从而增加与品牌的互动。”)”可知，盲盒通过创造期待和渴望来鼓励消费者花费更多。故选C项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It’s just a fun little thing that we get to do together during our lunch breaks to relieve some stress (这只是一个有趣的小事，我们在午休时间一起做，以缓解一些压力)”可知，对于Amanda Lee来说，购买泡泡玛特玩具是一种从日常生活中解脱出来的方式。故选A项。 D Technology usually distracts us from nature. But now technology is “offering us an opportunity to listen to nonhumans in powerful ways, reviving our connection to the natural world,” wrote professor Karen Bakker in her new book, The Sounds of Life: How Digital Technology Is Bringing Us Closer to the Worlds of Animals and Plants. All around the animal kingdom, there are sounds that we struggle to pick up and decipher. Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound (次声波), a sound frequency far below our human hearing range. Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow. This is a shocking fact as coral doesn’t have any ears! Scientists have placed listening devices in these environments to pick up sounds humans are normally unable to detect. After the sounds are recorded, AI is then able to determine their meaning, according to the news website Vox. There are now whole databases of whale songs and honeybee dances. Bakker wrote that one day this information could be turned into “a zoological version of Google Translate”. One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said. This technology can not only understand the animals, but also communicate back to them. For example, bees use dances to communicate to their peers where to go in search of nectar (花蜜). A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged the bee language AI database system in to a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move. Vox reported. Whereas in the past language creation had been limited to mainly apes, with there being many examples of chimpanzees having been aught sign language to communicate with humans, this new technology now allows humans to socialize with different animals throughout the animal kingdom. 32. What does the underlined word “decipher” most probably mean in paragraph 2? A. Imitate. B. Record. C. Produce. D. Understand. 33. What do we know about coral? A. They communicate through infrasound. B. Their sounds are within our range of hearing. C. They have no ears and cannot pick up sound. D. Sound waves help baby coral choose their home. 34. Which of the following animals have different signals for different purposes? A. Coral. B. Whales. C. Elephants. D. Honeybees. 35. Why did researchers create the robot bee? A. To collect more bee dances. B. To convey direction to bees. C. To learn the language of bees. D. To help bees search for their friends. 【答案】32. D 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要分析的是科技提供了一种强大的方式倾听非人类的声音的机会，从而恢复我们与自然界的联系。 【32题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词下文列举的例子“Elephants, for example, communicate with each other using infrasound(次声波), a sound frequency far below our human hearing range.(例如，大象使用次声波相互交流，这种声音频率远低于我们人类的听觉范围)”可知，大象交流的声波的频率远远低于我们人类的听觉之外，也就是说，我们根本无法听到大象们在交流什么，结合选项可推测，该单词的意思是“理解”为understand。故选D项 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Coral in the ocean also communicates with each other through sound waves, with one purpose being to attract baby coral to areas where it can successfully grow.(海洋中的珊瑚也通过声波相互交流，目的之一是将小珊瑚吸引到可以成功生长的地区)”可知，珊瑚可以通过交流，将小珊瑚引到适合他们生长的地方，由此可知，声波帮助珊瑚选择他们的家。故选D项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“One animal language Bakker wrote about is that of the elephant. She explained how elephants “have a different signal for honeybee, which is a threat, and a different signal for human,” in an interview with Vox. “Moreover, they distinguish between threatening humans and non-threatening humans,” she said.(巴克所写的一种动物语言是大象的语言。在接受Vox采访时，她解释了大象如何“对蜜蜂有不同的信号，蜜蜂是一种威胁，对人类也有不同的信号”。“此外，它们还能区分有威胁的人和没有威胁的人，”她说)”可知，大象对蜜蜂有种不同的信号，蜜蜂是一种威胁，而且对人类也有不同的信号，区分有威胁的人类和没威胁的人类，由此可知，大象处于不同的目的具有不同的信号。故选D项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“A research team in Germany, therefore, plugged the bee language AI database system in to a robot bee, allowing the robot to create a dance routine that can tell the bees which direction to move.( 因此，德国的一个研究小组将蜜蜂语言人工智能数据库系统插入到机器人蜜蜂中，使机器人能够创建一个舞蹈程序，告诉蜜蜂该朝哪个方向移动)”可知，研究人员将蜜蜂语言智能数据输入到蜜蜂机器人中，利用舞蹈程序引导蜜蜂移动的方向，由此可推断，研究人员创造蜜蜂机器人是为了向蜜蜂传达方向。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。 Tips to reduce food waste Food waste contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and wastes the resources it takes to grow the food. ___36___.

They agreed on 1, 000 dollars． After a week, the portrait was done. The rich man came to take the painting as scheduled. At this moment, the rich man hit on an evil idea of bullying the unknown young artist, so he refused to pay 1, 000 dollars. He thought, “The man in the painting is me. If I don’t buy this painting, no one will buy it. Why should I pay so much money for it?” So the rich man said, “I will only pay 300 dollars.” The young painter was astonished, for he had never come across such things. He strongly stood his ground, expecting the rich man to keep the agreement and to be a trustworthy man． “I can only pay 300 dollars to buy the painting. Speak no more.” The rich man thought he would win for sure, “I ask you at last, will you sell it 300 dollars or not?” The young painter knew the rich man deliberately (故意) went back on his word, so he felt very angry. He said a firm tone, “No, I would prefer not to sell the painting rather than being humiliated (羞辱) by a cheat like you. Today you break your word and someday you must pay 20 times for it.” “What a joke! 20 times will be 20, 000! I won’t be stupid to pay 20, 000 dollars to buy the painting!” “Well, we’d better wait and see.” the young artist cried to the rich man and left angrily． After the stimulation of such an incident, the painter moved out of his sad place, swearing to stand out in the circle of art and made the rich man bend his head. However, the rich man soon forgot the incident. 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。 Paragraph 1： Years later, the painter finally became popular and decided to hold an exhibition at the very place. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 ： The rich man went to see the exhibition the same night right away. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： Paragraph 1: Years later, the painter finally became popular and decided to hold an exhibition at the very place. He hung his masterpiece right in the center of the hall — a portrait named “Cheat” with a sign “20,000 dollars, only for those who keep their promises”. He thought, “This is the best way to teach him a lesson.” News of the exhibition spread quickly, and many people came to admire his works. The rich man, who had heard about the exhibition, felt a strange uneasiness deep inside. Paragraph 2: The rich man went to see the exhibition the same night right away. As he entered the hall and saw his own portrait with the high price tag, his face turned pale. Looking at the note, he felt extremely ashamed and regretful. He begged the painter to sell him the portrait, willing to pay 20,000 dollars. But the painter refused calmly, “Remember what I said? Some things can’t be bought back with money. Your broken promise has cost you more than just money.” The rich man left with his head down, learning a hard lesson that honesty is priceless. 【解析】 【导语】本文以年轻画家与富人的纠葛为线索展开，讲述了年轻画家为富人画肖像，富人却违背约定只愿付少部分钱，画家愤怒拒绝并预言富人终将付出20倍代价。受此刺激后，画家发奋图强，而富人很快忘记此事的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句内容“多年后，这位画家终于声名鹊起，并决定在这个地方举办一场画展。”可知，第一段可描写多年后画家成名，在当初的地方举办画展，将那幅富人的肖像命名为《骗子》，标价2万美元并注明只卖给信守承诺的人，画展消息传开，富人得知后内心不安的经过。 ② 由第二段首句内容“当晚，这位富人立刻就去看了画展。”可知，第二段可描写富人当晚去看画展，看到自己的肖像及标价和说明后，羞愧后悔，请求买下肖像愿付2万美元，却被画家拒绝，画家让他明白有些东西用钱买不回，富人最终吸取教训的情景。 2. 续写线索：画家成名办展——展出富人肖像并标价——画展受关注——富人不安——富人看展——见肖像羞愧后悔——愿高价购买——画家拒绝——富人吸取教训 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①传播：spread/get around/circulate ②走进：enter/walk into ③拒绝：refuse/turn down 情绪类 ①不安：uneasiness/anxiety ②羞愧的：ashamed/abashed 【点睛】[高分句型1] He hung his masterpiece right in the center of the hall — a portrait named “Cheat” with a sign “20,000 dollars, only for those who keep their promises”.（运用了过去分词作后置定语以及who引导的定语从句修饰先行词those） [高分句型2] As he entered the hall and saw his own portrait with the high price tag, his face turned pale.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] The rich man left with his head down, learning a hard lesson that honesty is priceless.（运用了现在分词短语作伴随状语以及that引导的同位语从句解释说明lesson的具体内容） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。Text one, what time does the . train leave at ten thirty?
