B A leading dancer with National Ballet of China has inspired audiences with her talent and determination. Starting ballet at nine, she joined the Affiliated Secondary School of Beijing Dance Academy and quickly rose to fame. By 16, she had claimed gold at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition and joined National Ballet of China at 17. Her breakthrough came when she starred in Romeo and Juliet shortly after joining the company. “That’s when I truly fell in love with ballet,” she recalled. Known for her technical excellence and dedication, she often practiced over 12 hours daily to perfect multiple roles. “Ballet isn’t just a job — it’s my life’s purpose,” she said. However, her career faced a crisis in 2013 during a performance of The Little Mermaid, where she suffered a severe spinal injury. “My sacrum was distorted. I almost quit,” she admitted. For two years, she underwent painful recovery while starring in a war-themed film, Ballet in the Flames of War. “I refused to give up,” she explained. Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling. “Though my injury limits some moves, I now express deeper feelings through dance,” she said. Her performances gained international acclaim as she toured globally with National Ballet of China. “Sharing Chinese ballet worldwide is my greatest pride, and dance has become part of my soul,” she emphasized. Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said. Today, she continues to inspire as both a dancer and a symbol of resilience, proving that passion can overcome even the toughest challenges. 4. Why did the dancer continue pursuing ballet despite her injury? A. Ballet became a key part of her identity. B. Her team pressured her to return quickly. C. She extremely desired financial stability. D. She wanted to prove her technical superiority. 5. What can we know about the dancer in the war-themed film? A. It marked her permanent retirement from ballet. B. The film aimed to criticize the impact of war on artists. C. She was fully recovered from her injury during filming. D. It reflected her determination to stay connected to dance. 6. What occurred in the dancer’s performance style after 2015? A. She reduced her practice hours to avoid injuries. B. She prioritized physical techniques over emotions. C. She abandoned classical roles for modern productions. D. She valued more emotional storytelling than technique. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The physical risks of professional sports. B. The role of luck in achieving artistic fame. C. A dancer’s career and her comeback in ballet. D. The balance between personal life and career. C For decades recursion (递归) — the ability to create patterns within patterns, like boxes fitting inside each other — was seen as a skill only humans used in language. This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history. Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans. Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers. Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words. By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.” 8. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls? A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms. B. Their calls are identical across all situations. C. They use unique words to identify different threats. D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers. 9. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers? A. They produced deeper sounds. B. Their calls became quicker and higher. C. They completely stopped making sounds. D. Their sounds change with a steady rhythm. 10. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language? A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans. B. It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history. C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems. D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors. 11. What is the text? A. A scientific study. B. A news article. C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide. D Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories: those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (混合的) arrangements (splitting time between home and office); those based in an office but free to work remotely; and those who must remain in an office at all times. The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office-only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement, fully remote workers reported more frequent stress: 45%said they often felt tense, compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff. Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%). Moreover, at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger, loneliness, or sadness — emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings. First, remote workers miss the informal interactions — chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together — that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress. Second, working from home demands self-management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office. While remote work can boost focus and flexibility, organizations should offer social support, clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration (合作). Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a truly satisfied workforce. For example, companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks, schedule occasional in-person gatherings. Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout. By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement, protects mental health, and sustains productivity. 12. What did the research find about the employees working entirely from home? A. They focus more on tasks but feel worse emotionally. B. They have lower stress than office staff. C. They feel much more stressed than hybrid workers. D. They value flexibility more than teamwork. 13. Which employee group is reported the least work engagement? A. Those dividing time between home and workplace. B. Those allowed flexibility to work off-site. C. Those required to work at an office only. D. Those managing tasks remotely. 14. What does the underlined word “blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Clarify. B. Confuse. C. Separate. D. Define. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Manage a Remote Team B. The Rise of Digital Communication C. The Emotional Impact of Working from Home D. Office vs. Home: a Productivity Comparison 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。 A positive attitude keeps you more active and happy.

There was a bridge over the river half a block away from where I lived, and on the other side, there was Calvin’s Hamburger Haven. It was one of those old small restaurants converted from a trailer (拖车) — just a counter and the grill behind, where Mr Calvin worked. Mr Calvin was a thin, quiet man. He wasn’t very talkative, but, unlike many business owners in those days, he didn’t seem to mind kids hanging around and looking at the envelopes of stamps on the walls. The stamps fascinated me. I had my father’s stamp album (he’d died when I was less than one year old), but had never thought about being a collector myself. When I asked about them, Mr Calvin took time to tell me about the different kinds, the tools of collecting and so on. He was a collector himself, and, with his advice and information, I also became one. One day he asked if I wanted to go to a meeting of his stamp club. The second day, my mother dropped me off at Mr Calvin’s house, a big old Victorian house. I was the only child there, and that was the first time I had the feeling that the other men — mostly middle-aged and wealthy, and now I know that some were locally outstanding — were annoyed a kid was there. He let me care for myself, sure enough that I could. And very quickly, I found myself in conversations about stamps, being shown specialized collections and being given serious advice. That I could so easily fit in with a group like that was amazing to me — and it was the beginning of the understanding that I didn’t have to remain in the world I lived in. 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。 Years later, I took my grade-school children on a walking tour of the area where I’d lived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears rolled down my face for Mr Calvin’s death. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高二期末(下)测试 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?

By 16, she had claimed gold at the Helsinki International Ballet Competition and joined National Ballet of China at 17. Her breakthrough came when she starred in Romeo and Juliet shortly after joining the company. “That’s when I truly fell in love with ballet,” she recalled. Known for her technical excellence and dedication, she often practiced over 12 hours daily to perfect multiple roles. “Ballet isn’t just a job — it’s my life’s purpose,” she said. However, her career faced a crisis in 2013 during a performance of The Little Mermaid, where she suffered a severe spinal injury. “My sacrum was distorted. I almost quit,” she admitted. For two years, she underwent painful recovery while starring in a war-themed film, Ballet in the Flames of War. “I refused to give up,” she explained. Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling. “Though my injury limits some moves, I now express deeper feelings through dance,” she said. Her performances gained international acclaim as she toured globally with National Ballet of China. “Sharing Chinese ballet worldwide is my greatest pride, and dance has become part of my soul,” she emphasized. Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said. Today, she continues to inspire as both a dancer and a symbol of resilience, proving that passion can overcome even the toughest challenges. 4. Why did the dancer continue pursuing ballet despite her injury? A. Ballet became a key part of her identity. B. Her team pressured her to return quickly. C. She extremely desired financial stability. D. She wanted to prove her technical superiority. 5. What can we know about the dancer in the war-themed film? A. It marked her permanent retirement from ballet. B. The film aimed to criticize the impact of war on artists. C. She was fully recovered from her injury during filming. D. It reflected her determination to stay connected to dance. 6. What occurred in the dancer’s performance style after 2015? A. She reduced her practice hours to avoid injuries. B. She prioritized physical techniques over emotions. C. She abandoned classical roles for modern productions. D. She valued more emotional storytelling than technique. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The physical risks of professional sports. B. The role of luck in achieving artistic fame. C. A dancer’s career and her comeback in ballet. D. The balance between personal life and career. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了中国国家芭舞团首席舞者曹舒慈在重伤后努力克服困难，重返舞台的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Ballet isn’t just a job — it’s my life’s purpose,” she said.(“芭蕾舞不仅仅是一份工作——它是我人生的目标。”她说道)”可知，芭蕾不仅是一份工作，更是曹舒慈的人生日标，即她身份的重要组成部分，因此，即使受了重伤，她仍维续从事芭蕾舞表演。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For two years, she underwent painful recovery while starring in a war-themed film, Ballet in the Flames of War. “I refused to give up,” she explained.(两年来，她一边承受着痛苦的康复过程，一边参演了一部以战争为主题的电影《战火中的芭蕾》。“我从未想过放弃。”她解释道)”可知，曹舒慈在拍摄以战争为主题的电影期间坚持康复训练。因此这反映了她与舞蹈保持联系的决心。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Returning to the stage in 2015, she shifted her focus from technical perfection to emotional storytelling.(2015年重返舞台后，她将重心从技术上的完美追求转向了情感的叙事表达)”可知，2015年重返舞台后，曹舒慈将重心从技术上的完美转向情感的讲述。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Her story highlights the sacrifices behind artistic success. While admitting ballet demands extraordinary commitment, she finds joy in its rewards. “Every drop of sweat is worth it when I step onto the stage,” she said. Today, she continues to inspire as both a dancer and a symbol of resilience, proving that passion can overcome even the toughest challenges.(她的故事凸显了艺术成就背后所付出的牺牲。尽管她承认芭蕾舞需要极大的投入，但她从其带来的回报中找到了快乐。她说：“当我登上舞台时，每一滴汗水都是值得的。”如今，她不仅作为舞者继续激励着人们，还作为坚韧不拔的象征继续鼓舞着众人，证明了激情能够战胜任何艰难险阻)”通读全文可知，文章讲述了中国国家芭蕾舞团首席舞者曹舒慈在重伤后努力克服困难，重返舞台的故事。故选C。 C For decades, recursion (递归) — the ability to create patterns within patterns, like boxes fitting inside each other — was seen as a skill only humans used in language. This tool lets us build endless sentences from simple words, such as “The monkey watches the bird following the butterfly that eats flowers”. However, a new study on wild orangutans (红毛猩猩) questions this idea, suggesting this ability might have existed much earlier in our shared evolutionary history. Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds. First, single sounds formed small groups, which then combined into longer sequences, and finally repeated in even larger series — all keeping a steady rhythm at each level. This musical-like layering showed complexity never seen before in animals outside humans. Importantly, the orangutans changed their calls based on danger. When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper. For false threats, the calls slowed down and lost their regular beat. This flexibility proved their sounds were not accidental but carried clear messages about different dangers. Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn’t appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words. By comparing orangutan communication to human language, scientists now better understand how evolution shaped our ability to share ideas. These results also reveal the impressive mental abilities of great apes (类人猿), pushing us to reconsider the line between animal calls and human speech. As Dr. De Gregorio says, “Every sound in an orangutan’s call may hold secrets about how our own language began.” 8. What did researchers discover about orangutans’ alarm calls? A. They model after humans’ speech rhythms. B. Their calls are identical across all situations. C. They use unique words to identify different threats. D. Their sounds follow a structured pattern with multiple layers. 9. How did orangutans adjust their calls when facing real dangers? A. They produced deeper sounds. B. Their calls became quicker and higher. C. They completely stopped making sounds. D. Their sounds change with a steady rhythm. 10. What does the study imply about the origin of recursion in language? A. It evolved separately in humans and orangutans. B It is a modern skill unrelated to evolutionary history. C. It only exists in animals with advanced social systems. D. It might have developed gradually in early human ancestors. 11. What is the text? A. A scientific study. B. A news article. C. A historical account. D. A scientific guide. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现，红毛猩猩的叫声具有多层递归结构。该发现挑战了“递归能力是人类独有的”传统观点，暗示这一语言特征可能来自人类与猩猩的共同祖先。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds.(他们发现其声音中存在着一种令人惊讶的三级重复模式)”可知，红毛猩猩的叫声遵循多层结构化的模式。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“When real hunters like tigers appeared, their sounds became faster and sharper.(当真正的猎物——比如老虎出现时，它们的叫声就会变得越来越急促、越来越尖锐)”可知，当真正的危险如老虎出现时，红毛猩猩的叫声变得更快、更尖锐。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Dr. Chiara De Gregorio, lead author of the study, stated, “Discovering such advanced sound patterns in orangutans makes us rethink what makes human language special. Recursion likely didn't appear suddenly in humans but developed slowly in our ancient ancestors.” The findings suggest this key language feature might have existed over 10 million years ago, long before humans spoke complex words.(该研究的主要作者奇亚拉·德格雷戈里奥博士表示：“在猩猩身上发现如此复杂的语音模式，让我们重新思考了人类语言的独特之处究竟体现在何处。递归结构很可能并非突然在人类身上出现，而是由我们的远古祖先逐渐发展而来的。”研究结果表明，这一关键的语言特征可能早在1000万年前就已经存在，远早于人类开始使用复杂词汇的时期)”可知，递归能力可能是由早期人类祖先逐渐演变而来的。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Researchers from the University of Warwick studied over 1,000 alarm calls from female Sumatran orangutans. They found a surprising three-level repeating pattern in their sounds.(华威大学的研究人员对来自苏门答腊猩猩雌性个体的超过1000次警报叫声进行了研究。他们发现这些叫声中存在着一种令人惊讶的三级重复模式)”以及通读全文可知，本文是一篇科学研究。故选A。 D Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. Researchers divided workers into four categories: those who always work remotely; those with hybrid (混合的) arrangements (splitting time between home and office); those based in an office but free to work remotely; and those who must remain in an office at all times. The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office-only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. Despite higher engagement, fully remote workers reported more frequent stress: 45%said they often felt tense, compared to a lower proportion among office-based staff. Hybrid workers showed similar stress levels (46%). Moreover, at least one-quarter of remote workers admitted to feelings of anger, loneliness, or sadness — emotions less commonly reported by those working entirely on-site. Researcher Ryan Pendell suggests two main reasons for these findings. First, remote workers miss the informal interactions — chatting by the coffee machine or eating lunch together — that foster a sense of connection and reduce stress. Second, working from home demands self-management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. Pendell emphasizes that companies must address the emotional needs of all employees, whether they work from home or in an office. While remote work can boost focus and flexibility, organizations should offer social support, clear guidelines for time management, and opportunities for in-person collaboration (合作). Only by balancing productivity with well-being can businesses ensure long-term success and a truly satisfied workforce. For example, companies might organize regular virtual coffee breaks, schedule occasional in-person gatherings. Encouraging employees to set clear work hours and take regular breaks also helps reduce burnout. By combining structured support programs with flexible policies, businesses can create a work environment that fosters engagement, protects mental health, and sustains productivity. 12. What did the research find about the employees working entirely from home? A. They focus more on tasks but feel worse emotionally. B. They have lower stress than office staff. C. They feel much more stressed than hybrid workers. D. They value flexibility more than teamwork. 13. Which employee group is reported the least work engagement? A. Those dividing time between home and workplace. B. Those allowed flexibility to work off-site. C. Those required to work at an office only. D. Those managing tasks remotely. 14. What does the underlined word “blur” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Clarify. B. Confuse. C. Separate. D. Define. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. How to Manage a Remote Team B. The Rise of Digital Communication C. The Emotional Impact of Working from Home D. Office vs. Home: a Productivity Comparison 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了远程工作日益普遍，研究发现全远程工作者工作投入度更高，但负面情绪更强，还分析了原因并给出企业应对建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. (根据盖洛普最近一项基于全球调查的报告，全远程工作者可能对任务更投入，但他们经常会经历更强烈的负面情绪)”可知，全远程工作者更专注于任务，但情绪方面感觉更糟。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The study found that 31% of fully remote employees reported feeling engaged — meaning they were interested in and focused on their work — whereas only 19% of office only workers felt similarly, which was the lowest among all categories. (研究发现，31%的全远程员工表示有工作投入感，即他们对工作感兴趣并专注于工作，而仅在办公室工作的员工中只有19%有类似感受，这是所有类别中比例最低的)”可知，只被要求在办公室工作的员工工作投入度最低。故选C项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Second, working from home demands self management of time and tasks; constant online meetings and messaging can intensify pressure and blur work-life boundaries. (其次，在家工作需要自我管理时间和任务；持续的在线会议和信息传递会加剧压力，并……工作与生活的界限)”和常识可知，在家工作时，持续的线上工作会让工作和生活的界限变得不清晰，混淆它们之间的界限。所以划线词blur与B项“Confuse”意思相近，表示“混淆”。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“Remote work has become increasingly common, but does it truly improve employees’ well-being? According to a recent Gallup report based on a global survey, fully remote workers may be more engaged in their tasks, yet they often experience stronger negative emotions. (远程工作变得越来越普遍，但它真的能提高员工的幸福感吗?根据盖洛普最近一项基于全球调查的报告，全远程工作者可能对任务更投入，但他们经常会经历更强烈的负面情绪)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项关于远程工作对员工情绪的影响的研究。故C项“The Emotional Impact of Working from Home (在家工作对情绪影响)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A positive attitude keeps you more active and happy.

However, over-reliance does harm to our independent thinking, as some classmates have already been found to copy AI-generated answers without reflection. To maximize benefits, I suggest strict usage guidelines be established. For instance, limit AI assistance to repetitive tasks, thus creating space for independent thinking. Teachers could also design “AI-free zones” in classrooms to ensure core skills development. AI is a compass, not the destination. Only by balancing technological convenience with self-driven exploration, can we truly harness the power of technology without losing the essence of learning. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生写一篇主题为“Using AI Wisely in Learning”的英文短文投稿。 【详解】1.词汇积累 获得：gain→obtain 例如：for instance→for example 建议：suggest→advise 建立：establish→set up 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Teachers could also design “AI-free zones” in classrooms to ensure core skills development. 拓展句：Teachers could also design “AI-free zones” in classrooms, which can ensure core skills development. 【点睛】【高分句型1】AI learning assistants are gaining popularity worldwide, which undoubtedly boosts efficiency.（运用了which引导非限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】Only by balancing technological convenience with self-driven exploration, can we truly harness the power of technology without losing the essence of learning.（运用了倒装句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 As a child, I lived in a working class area on the west side of Wichita. There was a bridge over the river half a block away from where I lived, and on the other side, there was Calvin’s Hamburger Haven. It was one of those old small restaurants converted from a trailer (拖车) — just a counter and the grill behind, where Mr Calvin worked. Mr Calvin was a thin, quiet man. He wasn’t very talkative, but, unlike many business owners in those days, he didn’t seem to mind kids hanging around and looking at the envelopes of stamps on the walls. The stamps fascinated me. I had my father’s stamp album (he’d died when I was less than one year old), but had never thought about being a collector myself. When I asked about them, Mr Calvin took time to tell me about the different kinds, the tools of collecting and so on. He was a collector himself, and, with his advice and information, I also became one. One day he asked if I wanted to go to a meeting of his stamp club. The second day, my mother dropped me off at Mr Calvin’s house, a big old Victorian house. I was the only child there, and that was the first time I had the feeling that the other men — mostly middle-aged and wealthy, and now I know that some were locally outstanding — were annoyed a kid was there. He let me care for myself, sure enough that I could. And very quickly, I found myself in conversations about stamps, being shown specialized collections and being given serious advice. That I could so easily fit in with a group like that was amazing to me — and it was the beginning of the understanding that I didn’t have to remain in the world I lived in. 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。 Years later, I took my grade-school children on a walking tour of the area where I’d lived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Tears rolled down my face for Mr Calvin’s death. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Years later, I took my grade-school children on a walking tour of the area where I’d lived. As we approached, vivid memories flooded back. I pointed out the quaint restaurant, sharing heartwarming stories of Mr. Calvin and his beloved stamps. Inside, little had changed; the counter, grill, and stamp-filled envelopes still adorned the walls. With pride, I introduced my kids to the man who had sparked my lifelong collecting passion. They listened intently, eyes wide with wonder, as I recounted my cherished childhood experiences. Tears rolled down my face for Mr Calvin’s death. He was not just a business owner; he was a cherished mentor and friend. His kindness and generosity had opened a whole new world for me, filled with the endless wonders of stamp collecting. He taught me that life was so much bigger than my immediate surroundings, encouraging me to explore and appreciate the vastness of the world. As I wiped my tears, I knew his memory would forever inspire me to pursue my dreams with the same enthusiasm and curiosity he had once ignited within me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者童年经历为线索，讲述了作者因Calvin先生而爱上集邮，并在其鼓励下拓宽视野、追求梦想的故事。多年后，作者带着孩子重返Calvin的汉堡店，回忆往昔。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“多年以后，我带着我上小学的孩子们去Calvin的汉堡天堂进行了一次怀旧的徒步旅行。”可知，第一段将描述作者带着孩子重返汉堡店，回忆与Calvin先生的往事，以及孩子们对集邮产生兴趣。 ②由第二段首句“听到Calvin去世的消息，我感到眼泪从脸上滚落下来。”可知，第二段将表达作者对Calvin先生去世的悲痛，以及他对自己人生的深远影响。 2.续写线索：重返汉堡店——回忆往事——得知Calvin去世的消息——悲痛与怀念——Calvin对作者的影响 3.词汇激活：行为类： ①靠近：approach/get close to ②激发：spark/ignite/kindle ③讲述：recount/narrate/tell 情绪类： ①感人的：heartwarming/affecting ②专心地：intently/attentively 【点睛】[高分句型1] As we approached, vivid memories flooded back.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句) [高分句型2] With pride, I introduced my kids to the man who had sparked my lifelong collecting passion.(运用了关系代词who引导限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
