But the historic city features lesser-known sights which will surprise and interest anyone seeking them out. Holgate Windmill is one of them. Towering 45ft skywards, the four-storey windmill (风车磨坊) was built in 1770 by George Waud, a miller from Selby. In those days the skyline was dotted with windmills, with about 200 in York and the surrounding area. Today it is Yorkshire’s only working windmill and the oldest five-sailed windmill in the country. The mill is run by volunteers. “They come from all over Yorkshire including Leeds, Wetherby, Knaresborough and Richmond,” says volunteer Lesley Jones. Volunteers produce flour (面粉) to deliver it to local markets. The local primary school — Acomb Primary — also uses the flour to make food. “We are very much part of the community. Local children coming to visit often take some flour home to cook with,” Lesley adds. On a calm day, the process is powered by electricity. In suitable conditions, wind power is used to turn the sails. Address: Holgate Windmill, Windmill Rise, Holgate, York, YO26 4TX Open: Every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday morning from 10:00 am to 12:00 noon. The mill is in operation on Wednesday and Friday. There is no need to book. Prices: Entry £5, free for under 16s. 1. What is special about Holgate Windmill? A. It is the oldest windmill. B. It is powered by electricity. C. It is known for its four sails. D. It is in service to this day. 2. What do the volunteers need to do? A. Keep pupils safe on the road. B. Make flour in the windmill. C. Cook meals for local children. D. Sell bread to visitors in need. 3. How much should a parent with a kid aged five pay for visiting the windmill? A. £5. B. £10. C. £16. D. £21. B In the past two years, tennis has made its way into homes in an unexpected way. Belgian eco-designer Mathilde Wittock is turning wasted tennis balls into custom-made furniture(家具).She creates modern chairs and benches, using tennis balls as cushions(垫子).A chair might contain 500 balls, while her benches use around 270, combining style with comfort. “It takes around 24 different manufacturing steps to make a tennis ball, which is around five days. Then it has such a short life,” said Wittock. “I was looking into tennis balls because I played tennis myself, so I know there is a lot of waste.” Around 300 million tennis balls are produced every year, and nearly all end up in landfills, where they take more than 400 years to decompose. Major events like the US Open use around 70,000 balls each year, with Wimbledon using about 55,000．The lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. Wittock started to see the design possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins art school in London. “I was really interested in eco-design and where I sourced my material,” she said. “And I realized that it was always very difficult to follow the history of materials. You never know where they come from, or how they’ve been processed. I got really angry at that.” To create her furniture, Wittock cuts each tennis ball by hand, choosing colors to match her customers’ homes. It takes her about three to four weeks to make one chair. For Wittock, the key to eco-design is circularity—ensuring that materials can be reused or recycled. When her furniture reaches the end of its life, the tennis balls are carefully taken apart, and the rubber(橡胶)recycled into playground mats. 4. What is special about the furniture created by Wittock? A. It is made of tennis balls. B. It has a traditional style. C. It fits all people’s homes. D. It is reasonably priced 5. How many tennis balls are used at Wimbledon each year? A. About 400. B. About 500. C. About 55,000. D. About 70,000. 6. Which is Wittock’s requirement for the materials used in furniture? A. She can know where they are produced. B. They are cheap at the market. C. She can process them in a local factory. D. They come from the same place. 7. What can we know about Wittock’s furniture? A. It is designed by athletes. B. It is environment-friendly. C. It benefits all sports fans. D. It features a very short life. C Florence, a historic city in Italy known for its Renaissance art and architecture, is taking action to cut overtourism. The city has introduced new measures, including banning (禁用) key boxes used by short-term rental landlords and restricting the use of loudspeakers by tour guides. These steps come after complaints (投诉) from the locals, who are struggling with the growing number of tourists. Florence, located in Tuscany, has long been a popular destination for travelers. However, in recent years, the number of visitors has sharply increased, putting pressure on the city’s housing market and its residents. Many people have been forced out due to rising living costs. To address these issues, the city’s government has approved (批准) a 10-point plan to reduce the impact of tourism. One of the key actions is to ban key boxes — combination-protected lockboxes used by landlords for easy check-ins. These were used in the city’s UNESCO-listed historic center, home to famous works by artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and Giotto. The plan also targets the use of “atypical vehicles”, like golf carts, which tour guides use to show visitors around the city in areas where cars are not allowed. The use of loudspeakers by tour guides will also be banned in these areas. These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists. The city council noted that there has been a sharp rise in the number of tourists with more than 7.8 million visitors in just the first nine months of 2024． Florence is the latest of several destinations to introduce measures to cut mass tourism. Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets. However, Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management, and instead of cutting mass tourism, the country should focus on improving the experience for visitors. 8. What can we learn about Florence according to the text? A. It stops the use of loudspeakers. B. It plans to lift the ban in two weeks. C. It has long been a draw for visitors. D. It turns a blind eye to the complaints. 9. Why does Florence introduce the new measures? A. To build a livable city. B. To cut the cost of the trade. C. To attract more tourists. D. To better control air traffic. 10. What does the underlined word “capping” in paragraph 6mean? A. Increasing. B. Inspiring. C. Watching. D. Limiting. 11. What did Santanche want to say about overtourism in Italy? A It lies in the rapid growth of a city. B. It is a product of mismanagement. C. It can be solved by the new efforts. D. It is caused by ill-mannered visitors. D Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind. If people wonder what you’re up to, tell them you’re doing something important. You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don’t take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada. The researchers, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violin and piano. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class. All the participants (参与者) took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small, and the music students probably won’t end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life. Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand eye coordination (协调) .These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better? 12. What happened to the first group of students at the end of the first grade? A. They disliked other after-school activities. B. They fell in love with musical instruments. C. They scored higher marks in the music test. D. They had a bigger increase in their IQ scores. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. The music students are sure to achieve success. B. It is a must for students to practice coordination. C. Playing music is a powerful tool for brain development. D. The result of the experiment makes little sense in real life. 14. What is the author’s opinion about picking up a musical instrument? A. It is worthwhile. B. It shows one’s character. C. It takes much time. D. It is popular on campus 15. What is the text mainly about? A Singing lessons. B. A scientific study. C. College students. D. A training program 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。 While it is possible for you to survive in the wild with nothing, you’ll always be much better off with a bit of preparation. ___16___.

She couldn’t afford to pay for the expensive food so I had to pay for it. To be honest, paying $300 a month for the cat food made me feel stressed. When I entered the vet hospital, the vet helper was helping another customer. She knew what kind of cat food I needed to buy and asked if I wanted a partial case (半箱) or a full case. Thinking I was always busy, I decided to buy a full one. Just then another new customer hurried in and rushed to the front of the vet helper. The vet helper asked him to wait after me. Since I wasn’t in a hurry, I told the helper to serve the gentleman first. I could go to the pharmacy and give them time to do the paperwork while I was gone. The helper said, “Thanks, that would be great!” The gentleman said sorry for his cutting in the line just now because of something important to do and said, “You should go first— you were here before me.” “No worries, you go right ahead. My pleasure,” I said. He jokingly replied, “Wow, how can I thank you?” Not really thinking, I blurted out (脱口而出), “You could buy me a bag of cat food.

Major events like the US Open use around 70,000 balls each year, with Wimbledon using about 55,000．The lifecycle of a ball stands at just nine games, depending on the level of tennis being played. Wittock started to see the design possibilities of the sporting equipment when she was studying at Central Saint Martins art school in London. “I was really interested in eco-design and where I sourced my material,” she said. “And I realized that it was always very difficult to follow the history of materials. You never know where they come from, or how they’ve been processed. I got really angry at that.” To create her furniture, Wittock cuts each tennis ball by hand, choosing colors to match her customers’ homes. It takes her about three to four weeks to make one chair. For Wittock, the key to eco-design is circularity—ensuring that materials can be reused or recycled. When her furniture reaches the end of its life, the tennis balls are carefully taken apart, and the rubber(橡胶)recycled into playground mats. 4. What is special about the furniture created by Wittock? A. It is made of tennis balls. B. It has a traditional style. C. It fits all people’s homes. D. It is reasonably priced 5. How many tennis balls are used at Wimbledon each year? A. About 400. B. About 500. C. About 55,000. D. About 70,000. 6. Which is Wittock’s requirement for the materials used in furniture? A. She can know where they are produced. B. They are cheap at the market. C. She can process them in a local factory. D. They come from the same place. 7. What can we know about Wittock’s furniture? A. It is designed by athletes. B. It is environment-friendly. C. It benefits all sports fans. D. It features a very short life. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7.

When her furniture reaches the end of its life, the tennis balls are carefully taken apart, and the rubber (橡胶) recycled into playground mats.(对维托克来说，生态设计的关键是循环性 —— 确保材料可以重复使用或回收利用。当她的家具使用寿命结束时，网球会被小心地拆开，橡胶会被回收制成操场垫子)”可推知，维托克的家具是环保的。故选B。 C Florence, a historic city in Italy known for its Renaissance art and architecture, is taking action to cut overtourism. The city has introduced new measures, including banning (禁用) key boxes used by short-term rental landlords and restricting the use of loudspeakers by tour guides. These steps come after complaints (投诉) from the locals, who are struggling with the growing number of tourists. Florence, located in Tuscany, has long been a popular destination for travelers. However, in recent years, the number of visitors has sharply increased, putting pressure on the city’s housing market and its residents. Many people have been forced out due to rising living costs. To address these issues, the city’s government has approved (批准) a 10-point plan to reduce the impact of tourism. One of the key actions is to ban key boxes — combination-protected lockboxes used by landlords for easy check-ins. These were used in the city’s UNESCO-listed historic center, home to famous works by artists such as Botticelli, Michelangelo and Giotto. The plan also targets the use of “atypical vehicles”, like golf carts, which tour guides use to show visitors around the city in areas where cars are not allowed. The use of loudspeakers by tour guides will also be banned in these areas. These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists. The city council noted that there has been a sharp rise in the number of tourists, with more than 7.8 million visitors in just the first nine months of 2024． Florence is the latest of several destinations to introduce measures to cut mass tourism. Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets. However, Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management, and instead of cutting mass tourism, the country should focus on improving the experience for visitors. 8. What can we learn about Florence according to the text? A. It stops the use of loudspeakers. B. It plans to lift the ban in two weeks. C. It has long been a draw for visitors. D. It turns a blind eye to the complaints. 9. Why does Florence introduce the new measures? A. To build a livable city. B. To cut the cost of the trade. C. To attract more tourists. D. To better control air traffic. 10. What does the underlined word “capping” in paragraph 6mean? A. Increasing. B. Inspiring. C. Watching. D. Limiting. 11. What did Santanche want to say about overtourism in Italy? A. It lies in the rapid growth of a city. B. It is a product of mismanagement. C. It can be solved by the new efforts. D. It is caused by ill-mannered visitors. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。鉴于当地居民投诉游客数量激增，意大利历史文化名城佛罗伦萨正采取一系列措施解决过度旅游问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Florence, located in Tuscany, has long been a popular destination for travelers.(位于托斯卡纳佛罗伦萨长期以来一直是游客们喜爱的目的地)” 可知，佛罗伦萨一直是吸引游客的地方。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“These changes are part of an effort to make Florence a living and unique city for both the locals and tourists.(这些改变是让佛罗伦萨成为一个对当地人和游客来说都适宜居住且独特的城市的努力的一部分)” 可知，佛罗伦萨出台新措施是为了建设一个宜居城市。故选A。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第六段“Last week, the archaeological site of Pompeii said it would be capping daily visitors at 20,000 and requiring personalized tickets.(上周，庞贝古城考古遗址表示将把每日游客人数…… 在 20,000 人，并要求购买个性化门票)”以及结合前文提到的佛罗伦萨采取措施减少旅游影响，可推测出这里是限制游客数量，由此可知，capping意为“限制”。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“However, Italy’s Tourism Minister Daniela Santanche suggested that overtourism in Italy is caused by poor management.(然而，意大利旅游部长丹妮拉・桑坦切表示，意大利的过度旅游是管理不善造成的)” 可知，桑坦切认为意大利的过度旅游是管理不善的结果。故选B。 D Learning to play a musical instrument can be more than just an enjoyable hobby. Whether it’s playing the piano, taking some guitar lessons, joining your school band, or starting a rock group, playing a musical instrument may help improve your mind. If people wonder what you’re up to, tell them you’re doing something important. You may be making yourself a little bit smarter. A new study shows that young children who learn to sing or play a musical instrument might have a slight advantage over those who don’t take music lessons. The study focused on 132 first graders in Canada. The researchers, from the University of Toronto at Mississauga, randomly (随机) put the students into three groups. One group took weekly lessons with instruments, such as violin and piano. The second group took singing lessons. The third group went to drama class. All the participants (参与者) took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups. The difference may seem small, and the music students probably won’t end up getting higher grades or having greater success later in life. Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand eye coordination (协调) .These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better? 12. What happened to the first group of students at the end of the first grade? A. They disliked other after-school activities. B. They fell in love with musical instruments. C. They scored higher marks in the music test. D. They had a bigger increase in their IQ scores. 13. What can we infer from paragraph 5? A. The music students are sure to achieve success. B. It is a must for students to practice coordination. C. Playing music is a powerful tool for brain development. D. The result of the experiment makes little sense in real life. 14. What is the author’s opinion about picking up a musical instrument? A. It is worthwhile. B. It shows one’s character. C. It takes much time. D. It is popular on campus 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Singing lessons. B. A scientific study. C. College students. D. A training program 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。多伦多大学的一项研究表明演奏乐器有益于学生的心智发展。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“All the participants (参与者) took IQ tests at the beginning and at the end of the first grade. Overall, average scores went up for all groups. But kids who took piano or violin lessons scored higher marks. Their IQ scores went up 7.0 points on average, compared with 4.3 points for kids in the other two groups.(所有参与者在一年级开始和结束时都参加了智商测试。总体而言，所有组的平均分数都有所提高。但是上钢琴或小提琴课的孩子得分更高。他们的智商分数平均提高了7.0分，而其他两组孩子的智商分数平均提高了4.3 分。)”可知，第一组（上乐器课的组）的学生在一年级结束时，他们的智商分数有更大的提升。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Even so, the researchers believe the results are still meaningful. Playing a musical instrument requires kids to pay more attention and memorize things. The process of reading music and mastering finger placement is connected with fine motor skills and even better hand eye coordination (协调) .These types of experiences may have positive effects on the developing brains of young people(即便如此，研究人员认为这些结果仍然是有意义的。演奏乐器需要孩子们更加专注并记住一些东西。识谱和掌握手指位置的过程与精细运动技能甚至更好的手眼协调能力相关。这些类型的经历可能对年轻人正在发育的大脑产生积极影响。)”可知，演奏音乐对于大脑的发育是一个强有力的工具。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, why not pick up an instrument like a guitar or violin? It’s a great way to improve yourself and bring more music into the world. After all, who wouldn’t want to make the world sound better?(那么，为什么不拿起一把像吉他或小提琴这样乐器呢？这是提升自己并为世界带来更多音乐的好方法。毕竟，谁不想让世界听起来更美好呢？)”可知，作者认为学习一种乐器是值得的，是提升自己的好方式。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要围绕一项关于学习乐器对孩子影响的研究展开，介绍了研究的对象（132 名加拿大一年级学生）、分组情况（乐器组、唱歌组、戏剧组）、研究结果（学习乐器的孩子智商提升更明显）以及研究结论（演奏乐器对大脑发育有积极影响）等内容。所以文章主要是关于一项科学研究。故选B。 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。 While it is possible for you to survive in the wild with nothing, you’ll always be much better off with a bit of preparation. ___16___.

To better 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了哈佛物理学家近期成功展示了下一代量子互联网的实际运作情况，包括其传输信息的方式、相关研究及构建实践等。 【36题详解】 考查冠词。句意：构想一个能以超高速在全球范围内传输高度混合信息的下一代量子互联网是一回事。此处为固定搭配around the globe，意为“在全球范围内”，globe指“地球”，用定冠词the限定。故填the。 【37题详解】 考查副词。句意：而证明它实际上能工作则是另一回事。此处修饰动词work，用actual的副词actually，意为“实际上”。故填actually。 【38题详解】 考查表语从句。句意：这正是哈佛物理学家最近所做的。此处为连接词引导的表语从句，引导词在从句中作done的宾语，指“哈佛物理学家所做的事情”，用连接代词what。故填what。 【39题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：这种量子互联网就像一个特殊的网络，它使用单个光粒子发送信息，这比我们现在发送信息的方式安全得多。根据than可知，用形容词safe的比较级safer，意为“更安全的”。故填safer。 【40题详解】 考查动词语态。句意：不久前，这项研究由米哈伊尔·卢金和另外两位哈佛教授领导。此处为谓语动词，study与lead为被动关系，根据时间状语“some time ago”可知，此处用一般过去时的被动语态，且主语为第三人称单数，所以谓语动词为was led。故填was led。 【41题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：他们都是哈佛量子计划的成员。member为可数名词，根据They are all可知用复数形式members。故填members。 【42题详解】 考查形容词。句意：哈佛团队通过一种被称为光纤的超高速导线连接两个特殊的存储位置，构建了第一个量子互联网的实际雏形。此处修饰名词makings，用practice的形容词practical，意为“实际的”。故填practical。 【43题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：同上。此处为非谓语动词作定语，wire与call为被动关系，用过去分词called。故填called。 【44题详解】 考查连词。句意：这条导线绕成一个大约22英里长的大圈，并穿过几个城市。此处连接goes in a big circle和goes through a few cities两个并列动作，用连词and。故填and。 【45题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了优化他们的互联网，研究人员正在添加更多这样的存储位置，并尝试新的方法来使网络更好地工作。此处为非谓语动词作状语，结合句意，此处表示目的，所以用动词不定式to better作目的状语，位于句首单词首字母大写。故填To better。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，你校英文报“Culture Horizon”栏目正在征集关于中国传统节日的稿件。请你以“Mid-Autumn Festival”为题写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： 1．节日习俗； 2．节日意义。 注意：1．写作词数应为80个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Mid-Autumn Festival ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Mid-Autumn Festival Mid-Autumn Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th lunar month.

She couldn’t afford to pay for the expensive food so I had to pay for it. To be honest, paying $300 a month for the cat food made me feel stressed. When I entered the vet hospital, the vet helper was helping another customer. She knew what kind of cat food I needed to buy and asked if I wanted a partial case (半箱) or a full case. Thinking I was always busy, I decided to buy a full one. Just then another new customer hurried in and rushed to the front of the vet helper. The vet helper asked him to wait after me. Since I wasn’t in a hurry, I told the helper to serve the gentleman first. I could go to the pharmacy and give them time to do the paperwork while I was gone. The helper said, “Thanks, that would be great!” The gentleman said sorry for his cutting in the line just now because of something important to do, and said, “You should go first— you were here before me.” “No worries, you go right ahead. My pleasure,” I said. He jokingly replied, “Wow, how can I thank you?” Not really thinking, I blurted out (脱口而出), “You could buy me a bag of cat food. Haha.” I laughed and left. 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。 I went back to the vet’s after about ten minutes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the cat food paid by the gentleman, I felt good inside. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： I went back to the vet’s after about ten minutes. I walked up to the vet helper, and she was waiting with a huge grin. “You don’t have to pay! That gentleman bought all your cat food for you!” “What the? !” I was so surprised. “Did he know how much it cost before he decided to buy it?” “Yes! He asked first. I thanked him many times for you! I also asked him why he bought the food for you. He said your kindness just now helped him a lot and you asked him to do so, too. He wanted to pass on your kindness.” Holding the cat food paid by the gentleman, I felt good inside. The gentleman’s action not only made it easier for me to pay for the cat food but also made me believe in the kindness of people. On my way home, I couldn’t stop smiling, thinking about how being polite had led to such a nice surprise. I decided that I would keep looking for opportunities to help others, no matter how small, to keep the cycle of kindness going. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者去兽医处为女儿的猫购买昂贵猫粮的经历。在这个过程中，作者遇到一位匆忙插队的新顾客，尽管兽医助手让他在作者之后等候，但作者因不着急主动让其先接受服务，之后两人互相礼让，作者还开玩笑地回应对方询问如何感谢自己的话语，体现了人与人之间在日常小事中的相互体谅、礼让与友善的相处氛围。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“大约十分钟后，我回到了兽医那里。”可知，第一段可描写作者走到助理面前，但是被告知不用付钱了，插队的那位顾客给他买了所有狗粮，作者很惊讶；助理询问为什么帮作者买那么多狗粮，那位顾客说是作者的善意帮助了他很多，他也想传递作者的善意。 ②由第二段首句内容“拿着那位先生付的猫粮，我心里感觉不错。”可知，第二段可描写作者相信人们的善良，回家的路上作者笑了，决定寻找机会帮助他人，想保持善意的循环。 2.续写线索：回到诊所——他人代替支付——感到惊讶——表示感谢——传递善良——寻找行善机会——善意循环 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①等待：waiting/ awaiting/ expecting/ biding ②感谢：thanked/ appreciated/ acknowledged/ expressed gratitude to ③决定：decided/ determined /resolved /made up one’s mind 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/ astonished / amazed/ shocked ②开心：smiling/ grinning/ beaming/ smiling broadly 【点睛】[高分句型1] The gentleman’s action not only made it easier for me to pay for the cat food but also made me believe in the kindness of people.
