Blippi: The Wonderful World Tour B Last Thursday afternoon I found myself going down the east side of the Grunhornlucke a 3,280-metre mountain pass (山道) in Switzerland’s Bernese Oberland, on skis while tied to the end of a rope. Visibility had disappeared at the top of the pass. As the first in the party, I was meant to be navigating, so I needed something which became crucial at this stage in the project: a sense of direction. This is my final column on my attempt to master ski mountaineering, after I nearly died doing that activity in Russia in 2017. I am grateful to those who have followed my journey and been in touch. In many ways I am extremely tired, weathered by the mountains. My face is sun-and wind-burned; I periodically think that I am forgetting how to speak English. Much of me is ready to go home. But this project still has a long way to go, with the goal of a ski mountaineering race next year. The focus of my course this week with Swiss mountaineering school Bergpunkt, over four stormy days in the Bernese Oberland, was learning to operate independently in the high mountains. This move has been what this whole project is about. Yes, I hope there will be a race at the end. But more important to me is this idea of developing competency in one narrow human endeavor (努力) — uphill skiing — as a secret of competence more generally. We made it to the pass, and again roped up for the zero-visibility glacier descent. My glasses iced up; the rope periodically pulled short. But we made it down into a tree-lined valley under a clearing sky. There remain two things I want to do this winter. As my last guided ski tour, I’d like to do the Haute Route, the classic route between Chamonix and Zermatt. The second, and perhaps more important objective, involving as it does the overcoming of both fear and dependency, is to do some independent ski mountaineering. With friends, not professional guides. 4. What difficulty did the author have last Thursday? A. He broke his skis. B. He could not see clearly. C. He lost touch with his team. D. He could not tie a rope by himself. 5. What is the main reason for the author taking the course? A. To prepare for a race ahead. B. To finish a school project. C. To learn a new life skill. D. To see his potential. 6. What is the author eager to do this winter? A. Go ski mountaineering independently. B. Compete in a ski mountaineering race. C. Finish two guided long-distance ski tours. D. Conquer the mountain pass in Bernese Oberland. 7. Where is this text most likely from? A. A sports magazine. B. A travel guide. C. A scholarly book. D. A news report. C An asteroid (小行星) struck Earth 66 million years ago, causing a disaster that wiped out roughly 75 percent of known fossil species virtually overnight. However, many frogs survived. “The high resilience (适应力) of frogs to the mass extinction has been a mystery,” says Chinese Academy of Sciences biologist Anderson Feijó. But now he may have found an answer: The frogs that survived the worst day on Earth may have not been too big, nor too small, but just the right size. But why would being not too big or not too small make such a large difference? Study coauthor Catharina Karlsson notes that medium-sized frogs fared better during the disaster, and through time, than extreme-sized frogs. Very small frog species can absorb water fast, but they also dry out quicker in hotter climates, the researchers point out, while larger frogs can hold on to water better but take longer to rehydrate (补水) if they dry out. If a habitat’s climate rapidly changes, then frogs at either end of the size scale will face new challenges, while medium-sized frogs will hit a sweet spot: They are able to absorb water fast enough while also holding on to it. The researchers didn’t just look at the disaster that struck 66 million years ago, though. They surveyed fossil frog records ranging from about 220 million years ago until the present to check the pattern. “From local to global scales, as well as through evolutionary history, medium-sized frogs seem more resilient to climate changes and are the only ones found in more extreme environments,” Feijó says. In a world where humans are quickly changing the global climate, these results may give conservationists clues as to which frog species might be most at risk. A little more than 50 percent of very small or very large frog species will be in a “risk area” by 2100, almost four times as many at present, the researchers conclude. Even though many frog species have ways to cope with dry habitats, the climate is likely to shift too quickly to allow extreme-sized species to adapt. 8. What puzzled Anderson Feijó? A. What species became extinct 66 million years ago. B. When Earth was struck by the asteroid. C. Why frogs survived the mass extinction. D. How frogs prepared for the disaster. 9. What does the underlined part “hit a sweet spot” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Develop new skills. B. Be at an advantage. C. Do just the opposite. D. Be in the air. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly stress? A. It is tough to carry out the study. B. The study conclusion is credible. C. Frogs also follow “Survival of the fittest”. D. Environmental stress impacts frogs little. 11. What is the significance of the study? A. It provides conservationists with ways to save frogs. B. It reminds people of the severity of climate change. C. It identifies climate-threatened frog species. D. It predicts global weather patterns. D In the Wasatch Mountains of the western US on the slopes above a spring-fed lake, there stands a single giant organism that provides an entire ecosystem, Pando, a 108-acre stand of aspen clones (颤杨克隆体). Although it looks like a woodland of individual trees with striking white bark and small leaves, Pando is actually 47,000 genetically identical stems (树干) that arise from an interconnected root network. Pando has been around for thousands of years. Its longevity means a whole ecosystem of 68 plant species and many animals have been supported under its shade. Although Pando is protected by the US National Forest Service, it is in danger of disappearing due to several factors. Deer cause one of the biggest worries. Wolves once kept them in check, but their number is now much larger because of the loss of these predators (捕食者). Deer also tend to gather in Pando as the protection the woodland receives means they are not in danger of being hunted there. As older trees die or fall down, light reaches the woodland floor which stimulates new clonal stems to start growing, but when these animals eat the tops off newly forming stems, they die. This means in large areas of Pando there is little new growth. Besides, older stems in Pando are also being affected by diseases. Pando arose after the last ice age had passed and has dealt with a largely stable climate ever since. But now climate change threatens the size of the tree. Aspen stands have been struggling with climate change-related pressures, such as reduced water supply and warmer weather earlier in the year, making it harder for trees to form new leaves, which have led to declines in coverage. Despite every cause for concern, there is hope as scientists are helping us unlock the secrets to Pando’s resilience (适应力), while conservation groups are working to protect this tree and its associated ecosystem. And a new conservation group called the Friends of Pando aims to make the tree accessible to virtually everyone through 360 video recordings. 12. What do we know about Pando? A. It is a group of genetically identical aspen trees. B. It is an organism made up of aspen clones. C. It is an ecosystem of 68 plant species. D. It is a wildlife reserve. 13 What is the main reason deer make a threat to Pando? A. They consume new growth in the woodland. B. They spread diseases among new clonal stems. C. They compete with dying trees for water resources. D. They attract wolves which damage the ecosystem there. 14. What has climate change brought to Pando? A. Its loss of habitat. B. Its lack of resilience. C. The reduction of its range. D. The decline of its ice cover. 15. Why does the Friends of Pando post videos of Pando? A. To attract visitors. B. To study its ecosystem. C. To unite conservation groups. D. To gather support for its protection. 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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure.

The barbecue (烧烤架) had been cleared away when our host announced a surprise. A huge truck backed up the long, narrow driveway. Adults and children watched with curiosity as the driver got out and slowly raised a huge rock wall. The kids lined up to try it. They climbed to the top and rang the bell that hung at the highest point. Three people could climb side by side and talk to each other so gradually the adults tried it, too. “Let’s go get in line,” my husband Neil said. “No, you go ahead without me.” I had good excuses. I didn’t have the right shoes; I forgot my sunglasses. I watched everyone else having fun, though, and finally convinced myself to try it. A belt was wrapped around me so there was no way to fall. Concentrating on each foothold, I slowly made my way up. Within a few minutes, I made it to the top and proudly rang the bell. “Way to go, Col!” Neil shouted. I enjoyed my success and the amazing view of fields and farmland until I realized it was time to go down. I willed my hands to let go of the ledges (突出物), but I couldn’t move. This is ridiculous (可笑的), I thought. Everyone below recognized my fear and called up all sorts of recommendations. “Move your right hand down three inches!” “Just hold the rope and jump. You can’t fall!” All well-intentioned advice, but I still couldn’t move. Then my husband was suddenly next to me on the wall. “Hi,” he said. “Need some help?” “I don’t see how you can help. You can’t carry me down.” “Okay, then let’s just sit here and chat for a while,” he said. “Did you have any of Dawn’s barbecue beans? They were delicious.” “They were good, but my favorite was the honeyed melon balls.” We chatted about the party for a few minutes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 After a while, he said, “Col, brush that fly away from your head.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So it went, and with each step he pointed out something lovely to distract me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ XCS2024—2025学年第二学期期末教学质量检测 高二英语 (本试题卷共10页，四部分，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置。 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) 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.

Visibility had disappeared at the top of the pass. As the first in the party, I was meant to be navigating, so I needed something which became crucial at this stage in the project: a sense of direction. This is my final column on my attempt to master ski mountaineering, after I nearly died doing that activity in Russia in 2017. I am grateful to those who have followed my journey and been in touch. In many ways I am extremely tired, weathered by the mountains. My face is sun-and wind-burned; I periodically think that I am forgetting how to speak English. Much of me is ready to go home. But this project still has a long way to go, with the goal of a ski mountaineering race next year. The focus of my course this week with Swiss mountaineering school Bergpunkt, over four stormy days in the Bernese Oberland, was learning to operate independently in the high mountains. This move has been what this whole project is about. Yes, I hope there will be a race at the end. But more important to me is this idea of developing competency in one narrow human endeavor (努力) — uphill skiing — as a secret of competence more generally. We made it to the pass, and again roped up for the zero-visibility glacier descent. My glasses iced up; the rope periodically pulled short. But we made it down into a tree-lined valley under a clearing sky. There remain two things I want to do this winter. As my last guided ski tour, I’d like to do the Haute Route, the classic route between Chamonix and Zermatt. The second, and perhaps more important objective, involving as it does the overcoming of both fear and dependency, is to do some independent ski mountaineering. With friends, not professional guides. 4. What difficulty did the author have last Thursday? A. He broke his skis. B. He could not see clearly. C. He lost touch with his team. D. He could not tie a rope by himself. 5. What is the main reason for the author taking the course? A. To prepare for a race ahead. B. To finish a school project. C. To learn a new life skill. D. To see his potential. 6. What is the author eager to do this winter? A. Go ski mountaineering independently. B. Compete in a ski mountaineering race. C. Finish two guided long-distance ski tours. D. Conquer the mountain pass in Bernese Oberland. 7. Where is this text most likely from? A. A sports magazine. B. A travel guide. C. A scholarly book. D. A news report. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述作者在瑞士伯尔尼高地学习滑雪登山课程的经历，包括在恶劣天气下的滑雪过程，还阐述了参加课程的目的以及今年冬天想要完成的事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Visibility had disappeared at the top of the pass.(在山口顶部，能见度几乎为零)”可知，上周四作者遇到的困难是看不清东西。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“But more important to me is this idea of developing competency in one narrow human endeavor (努力) —uphill skiing—as a secret of competence more generally.(但对我来说更重要的是，在一项特定的人类活动——滑雪登山中培养能力，以此作为更普遍能力提升的秘诀)”可知，作者参加课程的主要原因是想发掘自己的潜力。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“There remain two things I want to do this winter.(今年冬天我还有两件事想做)以及“The second, and perhaps more important objective, involving as it does the overcoming of both fear and dependency, is to do some independent ski mountaineering.(第二个，也许是更重要的目标，因为它涉及到克服恐惧和依赖，就是进行一些独立的滑雪登山活动)”可知，作者今年冬天渴望独立进行滑雪登山活动。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章主要讲述作者在瑞士伯尔尼高地学习滑雪登山课程的经历，包括在恶劣天气下的滑雪过程，还阐述了参加课程的目的以及今年冬天想要完成的事。所以主要围绕作者学习滑雪登山展开，包括经历、目标等，与体育活动相关，最有可能来自体育杂志。故选A项。 C An asteroid (小行星) struck Earth 66 million years ago, causing a disaster that wiped out roughly 75 percent of known fossil species virtually overnight. However, many frogs survived. “The high resilience (适应力) of frogs to the mass extinction has been a mystery,” says Chinese Academy of Sciences biologist Anderson Feijó. But now he may have found an answer: The frogs that survived the worst day on Earth may have not been too big, nor too small, but just the right size. But why would being not too big or not too small make such a large difference? Study coauthor Catharina Karlsson notes that medium-sized frogs fared better during the disaster, and through time, than extreme-sized frogs. Very small frog species can absorb water fast, but they also dry out quicker in hotter climates, the researchers point out, while larger frogs can hold on to water better but take longer to rehydrate (补水) if they dry out. If a habitat’s climate rapidly changes, then frogs at either end of the size scale will face new challenges, while medium-sized frogs will hit a sweet spot: They are able to absorb water fast enough while also holding on to it. The researchers didn’t just look at the disaster that struck 66 million years ago, though. They surveyed fossil frog records ranging from about 220 million years ago until the present to check the pattern. “From local to global scales, as well as through evolutionary history, medium-sized frogs seem more resilient to climate changes and are the only ones found in more extreme environments,” Feijó says. In a world where humans are quickly changing the global climate, these results may give conservationists clues as to which frog species might be most at risk. A little more than 50 percent of very small or very large frog species will be in a “risk area” by 2100, almost four times as many at present, the researchers conclude. Even though many frog species have ways to cope with dry habitats, the climate is likely to shift too quickly to allow extreme-sized species to adapt. 8. What puzzled Anderson Feijó? A. What species became extinct 66 million years ago. B. When Earth was struck by the asteroid. C. Why frogs survived the mass extinction. D. How frogs prepared for the disaster. 9. What does the underlined part “hit a sweet spot” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Develop new skills. B. Be at an advantage. C. Do just the opposite. D. Be in the air. 10. What does paragraph 3 mainly stress? A. It is tough to carry out the study. B. The study conclusion is credible. C. Frogs also follow “Survival of the fittest”. D. Environmental stress impacts frogs little. 11. What is the significance of the study? A. It provides conservationists with ways to save frogs. B. It reminds people of the severity of climate change. C. It identifies climate-threatened frog species. D. It predicts global weather patterns. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究发现，中等体型青蛙因在水分吸收和保持上更适应气候变化，在6600万年前大灭绝及演化中更具韧性，这对当今青蛙保护有启示。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““The high resilience (适应力) of frogs to the mass extinction has been a mystery,” says Chinese Academy of Sciences biologist Anderson Feijó.(中国科学院生物学家安德森·费乔表示：“青蛙在大规模灭绝事件中的强大适应能力一直是个谜。”)”可知，让安德森·费霍感到困惑的是为什么青蛙能在大规模灭绝事件中幸存下来。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“If a habitat’s climate rapidly changes, then frogs at either end of the size scale will face new challenges, while medium-sized frogs will (如果一个栖息地的气候迅速变化，那么体型两端的青蛙都会面临新的挑战，而中等体型的青蛙……)”以及后文“They are able to absorb water fast enough while also holding on to it.(它们能够迅速吸收水分，同时又能很好地保持水分不流失)”可知，中等体型的青蛙能够迅速吸收水分，同时又能很好地保持水分不流失，说明了它们出于一种优势地位，故划线词意思是“处于优势地位”。故选B。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The researchers didn’t just look at the disaster that struck 66 million years ago, though. They surveyed fossil frog records ranging from about 220 million years ago until the present to check the pattern. “From local to global scales, as well as through evolutionary history, medium-sized frogs seem more resilient to climate changes and are the only ones found in more extreme environments,” Feijó says.(研究人员并非仅仅关注6600万年前发生的那场灾难。他们还调查了从约2.2亿年前到现在的青蛙化石记录，以探究这种模式。“从局部到全球的范围，以及从进化史的角度来看，中型青蛙似乎更能适应气候变化，并且是唯一能在极端环境中生存的种类。”费霍伊说道)”可知，第三段说明了研究方法的全面，强调了该研究结论是可靠的。故选B。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In a world where humans are quickly changing the global climate, these results may give conservationists clues as to which frog species might be most at risk.(在这样一个人类正在迅速改变全球气候的世界上，这些研究结果或许能为环保人士提供一些线索，帮助他们确定哪些蛙类物种面临的风险最大)”可知，这项研究有助于确定受气候变化威胁的蛙类物种。故选C。 D In the Wasatch Mountains of the western US on the slopes above a spring-fed lake, there stands a single giant organism that provides an entire ecosystem, Pando, a 108-acre stand of aspen clones (颤杨克隆体). Although it looks like a woodland of individual trees with striking white bark and small leaves, Pando is actually 47,000 genetically identical stems (树干) that arise from an interconnected root network. Pando has been around for thousands of years. Its longevity means a whole ecosystem of 68 plant species and many animals have been supported under its shade. Although Pando is protected by the US National Forest Service, it is in danger of disappearing due to several factors. Deer cause one of the biggest worries. Wolves once kept them in check, but their number is now much larger because of the loss of these predators (捕食者). Deer also tend to gather in Pando as the protection the woodland receives means they are not in danger of being hunted there. As older trees die or fall down, light reaches the woodland floor which stimulates new clonal stems to start growing, but when these animals eat the tops off newly forming stems, they die. This means in large areas of Pando there is little new growth. Besides, older stems in Pando are also being affected by diseases. Pando arose after the last ice age had passed and has dealt with a largely stable climate ever since. But now climate change threatens the size of the tree. Aspen stands have been struggling with climate change-related pressures, such as reduced water supply and warmer weather earlier in the year, making it harder for trees to form new leaves, which have led to declines in coverage. Despite every cause for concern, there is hope as scientists are helping us unlock the secrets to Pando’s resilience (适应力), while conservation groups are working to protect this tree and its associated ecosystem. And a new conservation group called the Friends of Pando aims to make the tree accessible to virtually everyone through 360 video recordings. 12 What do we know about Pando? A. It is a group of genetically identical aspen trees. B. It is an organism made up of aspen clones. C. It is an ecosystem of 68 plant species. D. It is a wildlife reserve. 13. What is the main reason deer make a threat to Pando? A. They consume new growth in the woodland. B. They spread diseases among new clonal stems. C. They compete with dying trees for water resources. D. They attract wolves which damage the ecosystem there. 14. What has climate change brought to Pando? A. Its loss of habitat. B. Its lack of resilience. C. The reduction of its range. D. The decline of its ice cover. 15. Why does the Friends of Pando post videos of Pando? A. To attract visitors. B. To study its ecosystem. C. To unite conservation groups. D. To gather support for its protection. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍美国西部瓦萨奇山脉中由颤杨克隆体构成的巨大生物体潘多（Pando），它支撑起一整个生态系统，但如今因鹿的破坏、疾病以及气候变化等因素面临消失危险，同时也提及一些保护举措和希望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“there stands a single giant organism that provides an entire ecosystem, Pando, a 108 - acre stand of aspen clones (颤杨克隆体).(那里矗立着一个单一的巨大生物体，它提供了一整个生态系统，潘多，一片108英亩的颤杨克隆体林)”以及第二段中的“Pando is actually 47,000 genetically identical stems (树干) that arise from an interconnected root network.(潘多实际上是47000根基因相同的树干，它们从一个相互连接的根系网络中生长出来)”可知，潘多是由颤杨克隆体组成的生物体。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Deer also tend to gather in Pando as the protection the woodland receives means they are not in danger of being hunted there. As older trees die or fall down, light reaches the woodland floor which stimulates new clonal stems to start growing, but when these animals eat the tops off newly forming stems, they die. This means in large areas of Pando there is little new growth.(鹿也往往会聚集在潘多，因为这片林地受到保护，这意味着它们在那里不会面临被猎杀的危险。随着老树死亡或倒下，光线照射到林地地面，刺激新的克隆树干开始生长，但当这些动物吃掉新形成树干的顶部时，树干就会死亡。这意味着在潘多的大片区域几乎没有新的生长)”可知，鹿对潘多构成威胁的主要原因是它们吃掉林地中的新生长部分。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“But now climate change threatens the size of the tree. Aspen stands have been struggling with climate change - related pressures, such as reduced water supply and warmer weather earlier in the year, making it harder for trees to form new leaves, which have led to declines in coverage.(但现在气候变化威胁着这棵‘树’的规模。颤杨林一直在应对与气候变化相关的压力，如供水减少和年初天气变暖，这使得树木更难长出新叶，导致覆盖面积下降)”可知，气候变化导致潘多的覆盖范围缩小。故选C项。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“And a new conservation group called the Friends of Pando aims to make the tree accessible to virtually everyone through 360 video recordings.(一个名为‘潘多之友’的新保护组织旨在通过360度视频记录让几乎每个人都能了解这棵‘树’)”可知，“潘多之友”发布潘多的视频是为了让更多人了解它，从而为保护它争取支持。故选D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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Traveling is a great way to experience new cultures and landscapes, learn about different ways of life, and simply have an adventure.

The barbecue (烧烤架) had been cleared away when our host announced a surprise. A huge truck backed up the long, narrow driveway. Adults and children watched with curiosity as the driver got out and slowly raised a huge rock wall. The kids lined up to try it. They climbed to the top and rang the bell that hung at the highest point. Three people could climb side by side and talk to each other, so gradually the adults tried it, too. “Let’s go get in line,” my husband Neil said. “No, you go ahead without me.” I had good excuses. I didn’t have the right shoes; I forgot my sunglasses. I watched everyone else having fun, though, and finally convinced myself to try it. A belt was wrapped around me so there was no way to fall. Concentrating on each foothold, I slowly made my way up. Within a few minutes, I made it to the top and proudly rang the bell. “Way to go, Col!” Neil shouted. I enjoyed my success and the amazing view of fields and farmland until I realized it was time to go down. I willed my hands to let go of the ledges (突出物), but I couldn’t move. This is ridiculous (可笑的), I thought. Everyone below recognized my fear and called up all sorts of recommendations. “Move your right hand down three inches!” “Just hold the rope and jump. You can’t fall!” All well-intentioned advice, but I still couldn’t move. Then my husband was suddenly next to me on the wall. “Hi,” he said. “Need some help?” “I don’t see how you can help. You can’t carry me down.” “Okay, then let’s just sit here and chat for a while,” he said. “Did you have any of Dawn’s barbecue beans? They were delicious.” “They were good, but my favorite was the honeyed melon balls.” We chatted about the party for a few minutes. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡上的相应位置作答。 After a while, he said, “Col, brush that fly away from your head.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ So it went, and with each step he pointed out something lovely to distract me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a while, he said, “Col, brush that fly away from your head.” Instinctively, I reached up my hand to wave the fly away. As I did so, I realized I had loosened my grip on the ledge. “Good! Now move your left foot down a bit,” Neil encouraged gently. I hesitated for a moment but then followed his instruction. With this small movement, I started to gain a bit of confidence. The fear that had frozen me in place began to ease. So it went, and with each step he pointed out something lovely to distract me. “Look at how the sunlight sparkles on the pond over there,” he said. I turned my head to glance at the pond, and as I did, I moved another hand down. He continued, “And see how the kids are playing with the puppies in the yard. So full of energy.” With his words guiding me and distractions helping me relax, I gradually made my way down the rock wall. Finally, my feet touched the ground, and I let out a sigh of relief, grateful to Neil for his smart way of helping. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述在朋友家聚会时，主人安排了攀岩活动。孩子们和大人们都尝试攀爬，作者起初拒绝，后经劝说参与并成功登顶，但下山时因恐惧不敢动。此时作者的丈夫前来陪伴，与她聊天分散注意力。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“过了一会儿，他说：“科尔，把你头上那只苍蝇赶走。””可知，第一段可描写丈夫以让作者驱赶头上的苍蝇为契机，引导作者松动对突出物的抓握，并鼓励作者移动左脚，使作者开始缓解恐惧，增强信心。 ②由第二段首句内容“就这样，每下一级，他都会指出一些美好的事物来分散我的注意力。”可知，第二段可描写继续通过指出周围美好的事物分散作者注意力，作者在其引导下逐渐放松并成功下山，最后表达对丈夫帮助方式的感激。 2.续写线索：驱赶苍蝇——移动左脚——缓解恐惧——分散注意力——成功下山——表达感激 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①挥手：wave /gesture ②缓解：ease/relieve ③引领：guide/lead/instruct 情绪类： ①感激的： grateful/thankful /appreciative ②放松：a sign of relief/a breath of relief 【点睛】【高分句型 1】As I did so, I realized I had loosened my grip on the ledge.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句和省略that的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】With his words guiding me and distractions helping me relax, I gradually made my way down the rock wall.（运用了 with 的复合结构作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
