B Yiran Duan, a Bai ethnic minority member from Dali, Yunnan, founded Yi Crafts to share traditional Chinese handicrafts globally. After graduating from a UK university in 2019, she launched her studio to promote cultural exchange. During the later COVID-19 pandemic, however, she was forced to move her studio online, unexpectedly expanding her reach worldwide. “A crisis is also an opportunity,” she remarked. While an opportunity, teaching online is not the same as speaking face to face. So in 2022, Yiran set up her official studio in London, emphasizing face-to-face interaction. She said, “Exchanges are not merely verbal communication. A glance, a smile, or a touch can change one’s mind.” Her workshops highlight crafts like Zharan, a tie-dye technique often mistaken for Japan’s Shibori. “Many think it’s Japanese, but its roots are in China,” she explains, noting its 1,000-year history. Yiran views cultural exchange as mutual (相互的) learning. During a 2024 trip to Dali, British visitors joined Bai elders in singing. Surprisingly, a local song’s melody (旋律) matched a British folk tune. “They felt the culture without words,” Yiran realized. She stresses common human joys — beauty, food, art — over differences. Misunderstandings still exist. Once asked if she was native American due to her braided hair (编发),Yiran replied, “I’m Chinese, part of an ethnic minority.” She aims to challenge stereotypes (刻板印象) of China as a single culture. “The West knows dragons or china, but China has diverse beauty,” she said. Growing up on Dali’s “foreign street,” Yiran learned English informally. “My unique childhood made me realize my voice matters,” she shared. Her advice? “Never think no one listens. Every story deserves to be heard.” Through handicrafts, Yiran builds bridges — not just between places, but between hearts. “The bridge matters, but the people willing to cross it matter more,” she smiled. 4. Why did Yiran Duan move her studio online? A. To attract more British customers. B. To avoid face-to-face communication. C. To respond to the impact of the pandemic. D. To learn from international handicraft masters. 5. What can we infer from the British visitors’ trip? A. British folk tunes are from China. B. Different cultures share common human joys. C. Bai culture is better than British culture. D. Cultural misunderstandings are easy to solve. 6. What is more important in cultural exchange according to Yiran? A. The popularity of traditional handicrafts. B. Face-lo-face communication skills. C. The willingness of people to connect. D. The support from universities and communities. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To share Yiran Duan’s experience in cultural exchange. B. To introduce a traditional Chinese tie-dye technique. C. To describe the challenges of running a handicraft studio. D. To compare Chinese and British folk cultures. C Language: More Than Just a Tool for Communication Language does more than help us talk to each other. A new study shows that it also plays a key role in how our brain stores information from our senses. Published in PLOS Biology by researchers at Beijing Normal University, the findings show that our ability to remember details about everyday objects—like knowing bananas are typically yellow—relies on strong connections between the brain’s visual and language systems. When we see an object or think about its color, the brain’s visual processing area (VOTC视觉处理区域) becomes active. However, language-related regions, such as the anterior temporal lobe (ATL前颞叶), also play a role. For example, dementia (痴呆) patients with ATL damage struggle to recall object colors, even if their sight remains normal. This suggests that language helps organize our sensory knowledge. To test this connection, scientists studied 33 stroke (中风) patients and 35 healthy individuals. Participants were asked to match objects (e.g., bananas, apples) to their usual colors while researchers monitored their brain activity. Using scans, the team mapped communication pathways between language and visual regions. Results showed that the stronger the connection between the language and seeing parts of the brain, the better people were at remembering object colors. This link also helped the VOTC work better. The results stayed the same even after considering how serious the strokes were or common vision problems. The study highlights real-life impacts. For example, learning a new color name like “turquoise” helps your brain remember and recognize the color more easily. In contrast, damage to brain connections between language and sight might explain why some people forget basic links, such as grass being green. This research deepens our understanding of how deeply language and vision interact, shaping how our brain organizes information from our senses. 8. What is the focus of the new study? A. The influence of language on communication skills. B. The connection between brain injuries and memory. C. The challenges in the process of color recognition. D. The role of language in storing sensory information. 9. What can we know from the example of dementia patients? A. Visual processing areas are not important for color memory. B. Language-related brain regions help organize sensory knowledge. C. Dementia patients have stronger VOTC activity. D. Object color knowledge depends on normal eyesight. 10. The underlined word “monitored” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”. A. recorded B. studied C. controlled D. improved 11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The importance of learning new color names. B. The process of turning experiences into knowledge. C. The real-life significance of the study’s findings. D. The negative effects of brain connection damage. D Allison Okamura, a leading robotics researcher at Stanford University, is developing a new generation of helper robots to solve global caregiving challenges. As populations get older, birth rates go down, and people live longer because of better healthcare, many countries lack enough human caregivers. For example, Japan, with many elderly people and little immigration, has quickly used robot helpers. The U.S., however, is slower to accept this, even though the need is growing. Traditional industrial robots, made for repeating the same factory tasks, are too unsafe for caregiving. Okamura’s team pioneers “soft robotics,” using flexible materials such as knitted fabrics to make machines that can safely work with people. For example, soft robot arms can gently lift someone from bed without hurting them. Also, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) help robots adapt to unpredictable home environments. New Al systems can tell when an elderly person has trouble standing up and thus change the way they help. Okamura says there will be two types of home robots: single-task devices and multi-purpose humanoid (像人的) robots. Specialized robots (like machines that organize clothes) could be in homes in 5—10 years. These would be like today’s robot vacuums (真空吸尘器), but for personal needs. But general humanoid robots that can cook, clean, and keep people company will take over 20 years to develop because they are technically hard. “It’s like how self-driving cars took time,” Okamura says. Socially, the impact of robot carers is debated. While they may reduce loneliness by enabling independent living, they could also lack the emotional warmth of human interaction. Okamura emphasizes, “Robots shouldn’t replace people but complement care systems. A balanced approach respects both practical needs and emotional well-being.” “Care robots represent hope, not a perfect solution,” she concludes. “They offer tools to preserve dignity in aging while addressing a universal human challenge.” 12. What makes in-home robot carers in demand? A. The popularity of robots in popular culture. B. The high expense of human caregivers. C. Aging populations and a lack of caregivers. D. Government policies promoting robotics. 13. What material is used to make soft robots safe? A. Flexible knitted fabrics. B. Strong metal parts. C. Heavy plastic components. D. Advanced glass materials. 14. Why does Okamura mention self-driving cars in Paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the rapid development of robotics. B. To show the technical challenges of humanoid robots. C To compare the costs of robots and self-driving cars. D. To argue for faster government approval of robot carers. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Helper Robots: Widely-used in Caregiving. B. Soft Robotics: Safe for Helping People. C. Caregiving Robots: Replacing Humans or Not. D. Robot Carers: Solving Global Caring Challenges. 第二节（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。 How to eat and drink fewer microplastics Microplastics are everywhere. They’re in your liver, blood and even in your brain, and they’re almost impossible to avoid. ____16____ Here are four ways to reduce your exposure in what you eat and drink. ____17____ Drinking bottled water could be introducing you to thousands of microscopic pieces of plastic. In fact, bottled water is the biggest pathway to microplastic exposure. Researchers have found that an average liter of bottled water contains about 240,000 plastic particles (微粒). Switching from bottled water to filtered tap water has the potential to reduce microplastic intake. Avoid plastic food containers. Using plastic is often unavoidable, but there are many ways to reduce your food’s interaction with plastics, and that includes the plastic storage containers, said experts. ____18____ That could be as simple as buying butter in a glass container. Use glass in heated conditions. One study found that microwaving food in plastic containers and reusable food bags could release more than 4 million microplastic particles per cm² in just three minutes. Heat causes microplastics to get into your food, so avoid putting hot food into plastic packaging. ____19____ Avoid highly processed foods. ____20____ One study found microplastics in all 16 protein products that researchers sampled. Of the products tested, breaded shrimp had the highest concentrations of plastic particles. Highly processed chicken nuggets contained 30 times as many microplastics per gram as chicken breasts. A. Choose to drink clean tap water. B. Avoid plastic shopping bags. C. Highly processed foods contain lots of microplastics. D. Wash fruits and vegetables with warm water before eating. E. Fortunately, some steps can be taken to reduce your exposure. F. And make sure that it’s not stored in sunlight or other warm environments. G. They also urge people to replace food in plastic containers with other choices. 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（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。 When my best friend, Jane, and I were 16, we were in the same class.

Leaving my home and family, I set out to discover new cultures and ways of life. The moment that made this journey so meaningful for me was when I visited an orphanage (孤儿院) for children with disabilities. Seeing the courage and strength these kids had and the determination they displayed in their daily lives was truly inspiring. This experience changed my view on life forever. My visit to the orphanage happened by chance when I wandered into a small village during my travels. A kind local woman noticed me looking lost and invited me to join her for a meal. Over plates of fragrant rice and fresh vegetables, she shared the story of the orphanage, located just a short walk from her home. Her eyes shone with pride as she spoke of the children. I felt a tug at my heart and asked if I could visit the place. The next morning, she led me to the orphanage, a modest building with colorful walls painted by the children themselves. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with laughter and a deep sense of warmth. A young boy named Ravi rolled up to me in his wheelchair, his face beaming with a smile. “Welcome! ” he said with infectious enthusiasm, holding out a hand for a handshake. At that moment, I realized I wasn’t just a visitor. I was stepping into a world full of extraordinary strength and beauty. I spent the day learning about their lives. Each child had a story that could break your heart and mend (修复) it in the same breath. There was Meena, who had lost her parents in a flood but now created amazing art with just her toes. And Ajay, who was born with cerebral palsy (脑性麻痹), was the most talented chess player I had ever met. These children faced challenges I could hardly imagine, yet their spirit remained unbroken. They radiated a kind of joy that didn’t depend on circumstances but came from a deep well of gratitude for life itself. 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。 That evening, I had a great time with those children. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When it was time to leave, Ravi handed me a small card. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 榆林市普通高中过程性评价质量检测 高二年级英语 注意事项： 1.本试题共10页，满分150分，时间I20分钟。 2.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4.考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试题不回收。 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?

A glance, a smile, or a touch can change one’s mind.” Her workshops highlight crafts like Zharan, a tie-dye technique often mistaken for Japan’s Shibori. “Many think it’s Japanese, but its roots are in China,” she explains, noting its 1,000-year history. Yiran views cultural exchange as mutual (相互的) learning. During a 2024 trip to Dali, British visitors joined Bai elders in singing. Surprisingly, a local song’s melody (旋律) matched a British folk tune. “They felt the culture without words,” Yiran realized. She stresses common human joys — beauty, food, art — over differences. Misunderstandings still exist. Once asked if she was native American due to her braided hair (编发),Yiran replied, “I’m Chinese, part of an ethnic minority.” She aims to challenge stereotypes (刻板印象) of China as a single culture. “The West knows dragons or china, but China has diverse beauty,” she said. Growing up on Dali’s “foreign street,” Yiran learned English informally. “My unique childhood made me realize my voice matters,” she shared. Her advice? “Never think no one listens. Every story deserves to be heard.” Through handicrafts, Yiran builds bridges — not just between places, but between hearts. “The bridge matters, but the people willing to cross it matter more,” she smiled. 4. Why did Yiran Duan move her studio online? A. To attract more British customers. B. To avoid face-to-face communication. C. To respond to the impact of the pandemic. D. To learn from international handicraft masters. 5. What can we infer from the British visitors’ trip? A. British folk tunes are from China. B. Different cultures share common human joys. C. Bai culture is better than British culture. D. Cultural misunderstandings are easy to solve. 6. What is more important in cultural exchange according to Yiran? A. The popularity of traditional handicrafts. B Face-lo-face communication skills. C. The willingness of people to connect. D. The support from universities and communities. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To share Yiran Duan’s experience in cultural exchange. B. To introduce a traditional Chinese tie-dye technique. C. To describe the challenges of running a handicraft studio. D. To compare Chinese and British folk cultures. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7.

A new study shows that it also plays a key role in how our brain stores information from our senses. Published in PLOS Biology by researchers at Beijing Normal University, the findings show that our ability to remember details about everyday objects—like knowing bananas are typically yellow—relies on strong connections between the brain’s visual and language systems. When we see an object or think about its color, the brain’s visual processing area (VOTC视觉处理区域) becomes active. However, language-related regions, such as the anterior temporal lobe (ATL前颞叶), also play a role. For example, dementia (痴呆) patients with ATL damage struggle to recall object colors, even if their sight remains normal. This suggests that language helps organize our sensory knowledge. To test this connection, scientists studied 33 stroke (中风) patients and 35 healthy individuals. Participants were asked to match objects (e.g., bananas, apples) to their usual colors while researchers monitored their brain activity. Using scans, the team mapped communication pathways between language and visual regions. Results showed that the stronger the connection between the language and seeing parts of the brain, the better people were at remembering object colors. This link also helped the VOTC work better. The results stayed the same even after considering how serious the strokes were or common vision problems. The study highlights real-life impacts. For example, learning a new color name like “turquoise” helps your brain remember and recognize the color more easily. In contrast, damage to brain connections between language and sight might explain why some people forget basic links, such as grass being green. This research deepens our understanding of how deeply language and vision interact, shaping how our brain organizes information from our senses. 8. What is the focus of the new study? A. The influence of language on communication skills. B. The connection between brain injuries and memory. C. The challenges in the process of color recognition. D. The role of language in storing sensory information. 9. What can we know from the example of dementia patients? A. Visual processing areas are not important for color memory. B. Language-related brain regions help organize sensory knowledge. C. Dementia patients have stronger VOTC activity. D. Object color knowledge depends on normal eyesight. 10. The underlined word “monitored” in Paragraph 4 probably means “______”. A. recorded B. studied C. controlled D. improved 11. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. The importance of learning new color names. B. The process of turning experiences into knowledge. C. The real-life significance of the study’s findings. D. The negative effects of brain connection damage. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了一项关于语言与大脑如何共同处理感官信息的新研究。研究表明，语言不仅用于交流，还在大脑存储和回忆感官信息中发挥重要作用。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study shows that it also plays a key role in how our brain stores information from our senses. (一项新研究表明，语言在我们大脑存储感官信息的过程中也起着关键作用)”可知，新研究的焦点是语言在存储感官信息中的作用。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“For example, dementia patients with ATL damage struggle to recall object colors, even if their sight remains normal. This suggests that language helps organize our sensory knowledge. (举例来说，患有前颞叶损伤的痴呆患者即使视力正常，也难以回忆物体的颜色。这表明语言有助于组织我们的感官知识)”可知，与语言相关的大脑区域(如ATL)在组织感官知识方面发挥作用。故选B项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Participants were asked to match objects (e.g., bananas, apples) to their usual colors while researchers monitored their brain activity. (参与者被要求将物体(例如香蕉、苹果)与其常见的颜色进行匹配，同时研究人员monitored他们的大脑活动。)”以及后文“Using scans, the team mapped communication pathways between language and visual regions (研究团队使用扫描技术绘制了语言区域与视觉区域之间的交流通路)”可知，研究团队记录下了重要信息，所以“monitored”在这里表示“监测”或“记录”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。最后一段提到“The study highlights real-life impacts. (这项研究强调了现实生活中的影响。)”可知，最后一段主要强调了这项研究在现实生活中的意义。故选C项。 D Allison Okamura, a leading robotics researcher at Stanford University, is developing a new generation of helper robots to solve global caregiving challenges. As populations get older, birth rates go down, and people live longer because of better healthcare, many countries lack enough human caregivers. For example, Japan, with many elderly people and little immigration, has quickly used robot helpers. The U.S., however, is slower to accept this, even though the need is growing. Traditional industrial robots, made for repeating the same factory tasks, are too unsafe for caregiving. Okamura’s team pioneers “soft robotics,” using flexible materials such as knitted fabrics to make machines that can safely work with people. For example, soft robot arms can gently lift someone from bed without hurting them. Also, advances in artificial intelligence (AI) help robots adapt to unpredictable home environments. New Al systems can tell when an elderly person has trouble standing up and thus change the way they help. Okamura says there will be two types of home robots: single-task devices and multi-purpose humanoid (像人的) robots. Specialized robots (like machines that organize clothes) could be in homes in 5—10 years. These would be like today’s robot vacuums (真空吸尘器), but for personal needs. But general humanoid robots that can cook, clean, and keep people company will take over 20 years to develop because they are technically hard. “It’s like how self-driving cars took time,” Okamura says. Socially, the impact of robot carers is debated. While they may reduce loneliness by enabling independent living, they could also lack the emotional warmth of human interaction. Okamura emphasizes, “Robots shouldn’t replace people but complement care systems. A balanced approach respects both practical needs and emotional well-being.” “Care robots represent hope, not a perfect solution,” she concludes. “They offer tools to preserve dignity in aging while addressing a universal human challenge.” 12. What makes in-home robot carers in demand? A. The popularity of robots in popular culture. B. The high expense of human caregivers. C. Aging populations and a lack of caregivers. D. Government policies promoting robotics. 13. What material is used to make soft robots safe? A. Flexible knitted fabrics. B. Strong metal parts. C. Heavy plastic components. D. Advanced glass materials. 14. Why does Okamura mention self-driving cars in Paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the rapid development of robotics. B. To show the technical challenges of humanoid robots. C. To compare the costs of robots and self-driving cars. D. To argue for faster government approval of robot carers. 15. Which is the best title for the passage? A. Helper Robots: Widely-used in Caregiving. B. Soft Robotics: Safe for Helping People. C. Caregiving Robots: Replacing Humans or Not. D. Robot Carers: Solving Global Caring Challenges. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了斯坦福大学机器人研究专家Allison Okamura正在开发新一代辅助机器人，以应对全球护理挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“As populations get older, birth rates go down, and people live longer because of better healthcare, many countries lack enough human caregivers. (随着人口老龄化、出生率下降以及人们因更好的医疗保健而寿命延长，许多国家缺乏足够的人类护理人员)”可知，家庭护理机器人的需求是由人口老龄化和护理人员短缺造成的。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Okamura’s team pioneers “soft robotics,” using flexible materials such as knitted fabrics to make machines that can safely work with people. (Okamura的团队开创了“软机器人”技术，使用针织面料等柔性材料制造能够安全与人类互动的机器)”可知，软机器人使用柔性针织面料制成，以确保安全。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But general humanoid robots that can cook, clean, and keep people company will take over 20 years to develop because they are technically hard. “It’s like how self-driving cars took time,” Okamura says. (但能够烹饪、清洁和陪伴的多功能人形机器人需要20多年才能开发出来，因为它们在技术上很难实现。“这就像自动驾驶汽车的研发需要时间一样，”Okamura说道。)”可知，Okamura提到自动驾驶汽车是为了说明人形机器人面临的技术挑战。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Allison Okamura, a leading robotics researcher at Stanford University, is developing a new generation of helper robots to solve global caregiving challenges. (斯坦福大学的顶尖机器人研究员Allison Okamura正在研发新一代辅助机器人，以应对全球护理挑战。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了Okamura开发的辅助机器人，旨在解决全球护理挑战，同时探讨了机器人在护理领域的应用前景和争议。根据全文内容，D项“机器人护理员：解决全球护理挑战”为最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节（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。 How to eat and drink fewer microplastics Microplastics are everywhere.

Leaving my home and family, I set out to discover new cultures and ways of life. The moment that made this journey so meaningful for me was when I visited an orphanage (孤儿院) for children with disabilities. Seeing the courage and strength these kids had and the determination they displayed in their daily lives was truly inspiring. This experience changed my view on life forever. My visit to the orphanage happened by chance when I wandered into a small village during my travels. A kind local woman noticed me looking lost and invited me to join her for a meal. Over plates of fragrant rice and fresh vegetables, she shared the story of the orphanage, located just a short walk from her home. Her eyes shone with pride as she spoke of the children. I felt a tug at my heart and asked if I could visit the place. The next morning, she led me to the orphanage, a modest building with colorful walls painted by the children themselves. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with laughter and a deep sense of warmth. A young boy named Ravi rolled up to me in his wheelchair, his face beaming with a smile. “Welcome! ” he said with infectious enthusiasm, holding out a hand for a handshake. At that moment, I realized I wasn’t just a visitor. I was stepping into a world full of extraordinary strength and beauty. I spent the day learning about their lives. Each child had a story that could break your heart and mend (修复) it in the same breath. There was Meena, who had lost her parents in a flood but now created amazing art with just her toes. And Ajay, who was born with cerebral palsy (脑性麻痹), was the most talented chess player I had ever met. These children faced challenges I could hardly imagine, yet their spirit remained unbroken. They radiated a kind of joy that didn’t depend on circumstances but came from a deep well of gratitude for life itself. 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。 That evening, I had a great time with those children. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When it was time to leave, Ravi handed me a small card. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That evening, I had a great time with those children. I listened to Meena carefully, who told me what her painting meant. Ajay, the most gifted chess player, beat me at chess. The children even performed a small play for me. Their performance was filled with laughter, tears and a profound message of hope. As I clapped along with the staff members, I felt a lump in my throat. These children, who had so little by material standards, possessed a wealth of wisdom and strength that I could only desire. When it was time to leave, Ravi handed me a small card. On the card were written a line of tiny words, kind of scribbling, but I could recognize them without any difficulty. The words read, “Thank you for being our friend. Don’t forget to smile. ” I hugged him tightly, tears welling up in my eyes, and promised to carry their spirit with me wherever I went. Now, whenever I face challenges, I think of Ravi, Meena, and Ajay, who remind me that no matter what life throws at me, I can choose to rise above it. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者独自旅行时，偶然参观了一个残疾儿童孤儿院，在那里，作者看到了孩子们面对生活的勇气和力量，这些孩子尽管遭遇了诸多困难，但依然保持着乐观积极的心态，这次经历改变了作者对生活的看法，让作者感受到了孩子们非凡的力量和生命的美好。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“那天晚上，我和那些孩子们度过了一段美好的时光。”可知，第一段可描写作者和孩子们之间的互动以及作者感慨这些孩子有着自己无比渴望的丰富智慧和强大力量。 ②由第二段首句内容“到了该离开的时候，拉维递给我一张小卡片。”可知，第二段可描写卡片的具体内容以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：孩子们与作者的互动——感慨孩子们拥有的丰富智慧和强大力量——卡片的具体内容——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①打败：beat/defeat ②告知：tell/inform ③拥有：possess/own ④拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 感谢：thank/appreciate 流泪：tears welling up in my eyes/my eyes dimmed with tears 【点睛】【高分句型1】I listened to Meena carefully, who told me what her painting meant.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句，what引导宾语从句） 【高分句型2】On the card were written a line of tiny words, kind of scribbling, but I could recognize them without any difficulty.（运用了完全倒装） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
