B Drones, DNA profiling and ultra-sensitive listening devices are being used in conservation efforts safeguarding the UK’s forests as the battle to defeat biodiversity decline and manage climate change goes hi-tech. Forestry England (FE) is gathering data on the variety of wildlife in some of its 1,500 woodlands at an all-time pace and level of detail. The body is harvesting environmental DNA — genetic material left by organisms in an ecosystem — from soil, water and air samples to build a picture of the range of species across 21 forests. Results from four months of sampling have revealed more than 5,000 unique species of fungi (真菌) — more than have been found in the last century using traditional sampling methods — alongside 1,000 species of invertebrates (无脊椎动物). The data will create a new biodiversity baseline enabling FE to monitor the success of its conservation work. Meanwhile, bioacoustic (生物声学的) listening devices have been installed in four wild areas in Somerset, Dorset, North Yorkshire and Northumberland. The technology is being used to track bumblebee activity by listening to the sound of their wings in flight. Andrew Stringer, FE head of environment and nature recovery, called the fungi data and invertebrates “mind-blowing” and said the new techniques represented a step-change in its biodiversity monitoring work. “These emerging technologies mean soon we’ll have ‘weather stations for nature’ throughout the nation’s forests, telling us what is happening to nature at a level of detail we’ve never had before,” Stringer added. FE said, “The work is part of a new approach to forestry in wild spaces, putting landscape-scale nature restoration at the forefront.” Elsewhere the Woodland Trust has been using laser scanning technology to create 3D models of some of the UK’s most famous old oaks (橡树). The project builds a digital file of these living tree legends as well as information efforts and helping scientists better understand the carbon capture potential of ancient trees. 4. What is the main advantage of using high-tech equipment in British forests? A. Identifying illegal logging quickly. B. Tracking animal migration patterns. C. Creating digital maps of forest landscapes. D. Offering rapid and detailed biodiversity data. 5. What is the purpose of the biodiversity baseline? A. For entertainment. B. For commercial use. C. To track conservation progress. D. To educate the next generation. 6. How does Andrew Stringer feel about the new techniques? A. Critical. B. Excited. C. Cautious. D. Concerned. 7. What can the digital files of the old oaks do? A. Help future conservation. B. Measure the age of ancient oaks. C. Record the history of the old trees. D. Monitor the health of ancient trees. C A new peer-reviewed paper from experts at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), highlights the need for a clear framework when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) research, given the rapid adoption of AI by children and adolescents using digital devices to access the Internet and social media. Its recommendations are based on a critical assessment of current shortcomings in the research on how digital technologies impact young people’s mental health, and an in-depth analysis of the challenges underlying those shortcomings. The paper, From Social Media to Artificial Intelligence: Improving Research on Digital Harms in Youth, calls for a “critical re-evaluation” of how we study the impact of Internet-based technologies on young people’s mental health, and outlines where future AI research can learn from several pitfalls of social media research. “Research on the effects of AI, as well as evidence for policymakers and advice for caregivers, must learn from the issues that have faced social media research,” said Dr Karen Mansfield, postdoctoral researcher at the OII and lead author of the paper. “Young people are already adopting new ways of interacting with AI, and without a solid framework for collaboration between stakeholders (利益相关者), evidence-based policy on AI will fall behind, as it did for social media.” The paper describes how the impact of social media is often interpreted as one isolated causal factor, which neglects different types of social media use, as well as contextual factors that influence both technology use and mental health. Without rethinking this approach, future research on AI risks getting caught up in a new media panic, as it did for social media. “We are calling for a cooperative evidence-based framework that will hold big tech firms accountable in a proactive, incremental (递增的), and informative way,” said Professor Andrew Przybylski, OII Professor of Human Behaviour and Technology. “Without building on past lessons, in ten years we could be back to square one, viewing the place of AI in much the same way we feel helpless about social media and smartphones. We have to take active steps now so that AI can be safe and beneficial to children and adolescents.” 8. What can be inferred about the current framework for AI research from paragraph 1? A. It prioritizes adult users over adolescents. B. It directs children’s interaction with AI well. C. It needs structured guidelines to protect the youth. D. It focuses mainly on traditional media platforms. 9. Why does the paper call for a “critical re-evaluation”? A. To assess the impact of AI on the youth. B. To expand the use of digital technologies. C To enhance research on digital development. D. To inform policymakers of digital technologies. 10. What may happen if stakeholders fail to cooperate on AI research? A. Adolescents will reject AI technologies entirely. B. AI policies will enhance social media regulations. C. Caregivers will receive more accurate advice about AI. D. Policymakers will fail to give evidence-based guidance. 11. What does Professor Przybyski stress in the last paragraph? A. Enhancing parental controls. B. Cooperation between stakeholders. C. Complete removal of digital devices. D. Prioritizing mental health evaluations. D Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed that some wild plant species possess certain attributes which make them more suitable for human cultivation (栽培) than others. The scientists, investigating the origins of domesticated (驯化的) plants, say understanding these key genetic and morphological (形态学的) properties may provide important clues about how to develop future, climate change adapted crops. They suggest that looking at today’s existing domesticated plants could help meet future challenges of developing varieties to resist rising global temperatures and unpredictable weather. Domesticated plants are those which have been adapted from the wild for human use, often over thousands of years. Around 12 thousand years ago, hunter-gatherer societies began cultivating a wide range of species as more reliable sources of food. By repeatedly growing seeds from their best plants each season, humans slowly produced stronger crops with improved output — but only some of the wild species were domesticated and others were abandoned. The researchers behind this new study say useful, hidden properties in some wild species prepared them for domestication. Their research reviews a host of past literature and evidence to examine why just a minority of these wild plants were domesticated and how modern cultivated varieties differ at a genetic level from their ancestors and present-day wild “cousins”. Lead author of the study, Professor Mark Chapman of the University of Southampton, explains, “Tens of thousands of plant species are eatable, yet just a few hundred have been domesticated and a mere 15 species provide 90 percent of our calories. Hundreds of wild plants were collected during the Neolithic Period by humans, but were later abandoned as food sources. We have explored which genetic or physical traits facilitated or constrained the domestication of wild species.” The scientists conclude that present-day wild plants, underused crops in local communities, or partially domesticated species may hold key, useful traits which can be controlled through selection and precision breeding. They hope their study will help inform future work to adapt species with the aim of improving our food security in a fast-changing world climate. 12. What does the underlined word “attributes” mean in paragraph 1? A. Varieties. B. Alternatives. C. Properties. D. Qualifications. 13. What did the domestication process suggest about human selection? A. Output improvement was key in cultivation. B. Humans prioritized plants with rapid growth. C. Hunter- gatherers avoided plant cultivation initially. D. All wild species were equally suitable for domestication. 14. What is the ultimate goal of the research conducted by the University of Southampton? A. To increase domesticated plant species. B. To ensure food security in climate change. C. To identify the most nutritious wild plants. D. To preserve the genetic diversity of wild plants. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change Impacts and Future crop Strategies B. The Domestication of Wild Plants and Food Security C. The Genetics of Wild Plants and Their Diverse Attributes D. The History of Cultivation and Hunter-gatherers’ Practices 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。 Flying for the first time can be both exciting and tense. ____16____, knowing what to expect and how to prepare can make your first flight a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Wildfires had been spreading through the Los Angeles area for days, forcing nearly 200,000 people to leave their homes. The air smelled like burnt toast, making Kalyna’s eyes water. Kalyna’s family had already loaded their horses onto trucks, but Sovereignty — a nervous brown horse belonging to their neighbor — refused to enter the vehicle. Flames moved closer, coloring the sky red. His ears twitched (抽动) nervously as flames licked the mountainside three miles away. “Easy, boy,” Kalyna whispered, trying to keep him calm. She knew time was running out. When Sovereignty stepped back nervously, smelling the smoke, Kalyna made a quick decision. Holding his reins (缰绳) tightly, she climbed onto his back. “We’ll do this together,” she said. The 14-mile escape path went through dangerous mountains. Kalyna sometimes rode and sometimes walked beside Sovereignty to save his energy. Burning pieces of wood flew around them like angry bees, while her father followed behind in his car, headlights shining through the smoky air. Twice, Sovereignty stopped at broken branches, his body wet with sweat. Kalyna’s legs hurt, and her throat felt dry, but she kept talking softly to the horse. “Just a little farther,” she encouraged, offering him water from her canteen. As they reached the safe area, people waiting by the road cheered. Sovereignty’s ears moved forward at the sounds. Kalyna got off the horse, her legs shaking slightly, and touched her face to the horse’s sweating side. “We made it,” she said quietly. A firefighter ran toward them, but Kalyna kept watching Sovereignty—now eating grass peacefully, as if nothing had happened. Kalyna smiled weakly, her heart pounding despite the relief. 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。 Two months later, Kalyna stood nervously at an award ceremony. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Backstage, a familiar horse sound made Kalyna turn quickly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二期末检测 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?

Results from four months of sampling have revealed more than 5,000 unique species of fungi (真菌) — more than have been found in the last century using traditional sampling methods — alongside 1,000 species of invertebrates (无脊椎动物). The data will create a new biodiversity baseline enabling FE to monitor the success of its conservation work. Meanwhile, bioacoustic (生物声学的) listening devices have been installed in four wild areas in Somerset, Dorset, North Yorkshire and Northumberland. The technology is being used to track bumblebee activity by listening to the sound of their wings in flight. Andrew Stringer, FE head of environment and nature recovery, called the fungi data and invertebrates “mind-blowing” and said the new techniques represented a step-change in its biodiversity monitoring work. “These emerging technologies mean soon we’ll have ‘weather stations for nature’ throughout the nation’s forests, telling us what is happening to nature at a level of detail we’ve never had before,” Stringer added. FE said, “The work is part of a new approach to forestry in wild spaces, putting landscape-scale nature restoration at the forefront.” Elsewhere, the Woodland Trust has been using laser scanning technology to create 3D models of some of the UK’s most famous old oaks (橡树). The project builds a digital file of these living tree legends as well as information efforts and helping scientists better understand the carbon capture potential of ancient trees. 4. What is the main advantage of using high-tech equipment in British forests? A. Identifying illegal logging quickly. B. Tracking animal migration patterns. C. Creating digital maps of forest landscapes. D. Offering rapid and detailed biodiversity data. 5. What is the purpose of the biodiversity baseline? A. For entertainment. B. For commercial use. C. To track conservation progress. D. To educate the next generation. 6. How does Andrew Stringer feel about the new techniques? A. Critical. B. Excited. C. Cautious. D. Concerned. 7.

Its recommendations are based on a critical assessment of current shortcomings in the research on how digital technologies impact young people’s mental health, and an in-depth analysis of the challenges underlying those shortcomings. The paper, From Social Media to Artificial Intelligence: Improving Research on Digital Harms in Youth, calls for a “critical re-evaluation” of how we study the impact of Internet-based technologies on young people’s mental health, and outlines where future AI research can learn from several pitfalls of social media research. “Research on the effects of AI, as well as evidence for policymakers and advice for caregivers, must learn from the issues that have faced social media research,” said Dr Karen Mansfield, postdoctoral researcher at the OII and lead author of the paper. “Young people are already adopting new ways of interacting with AI, and without a solid framework for collaboration between stakeholders (利益相关者), evidence-based policy on AI will fall behind, as it did for social media.” The paper describes how the impact of social media is often interpreted as one isolated causal factor, which neglects different types of social media use, as well as contextual factors that influence both technology use and mental health. Without rethinking this approach, future research on AI risks getting caught up in a new media panic, as it did for social media. “We are calling for a cooperative evidence-based framework that will hold big tech firms accountable in a proactive, incremental (递增的), and informative way,” said Professor Andrew Przybylski, OII Professor of Human Behaviour and Technology. “Without building on past lessons, in ten years we could be back to square one, viewing the place of AI in much the same way we feel helpless about social media and smartphones. We have to take active steps now so that AI can be safe and beneficial to children and adolescents.” 8. What can be inferred about the current framework for AI research from paragraph 1? A. It prioritizes adult users over adolescents. B. It directs children’s interaction with AI well. C. It needs structured guidelines to protect the youth. D. It focuses mainly on traditional media platforms. 9. Why does the paper call for a “critical re-evaluation”? A. To assess the impact of AI on the youth. B. To expand the use of digital technologies. C. To enhance research on digital development. D. To inform policymakers of digital technologies. 10. What may happen if stakeholders fail to cooperate on AI research? A. Adolescents will reject AI technologies entirely. B. AI policies will enhance social media regulations. C. Caregivers will receive more accurate advice about AI. D. Policymakers will fail to give evidence-based guidance. 11. What does Professor Przybyski stress in the last paragraph? A. Enhancing parental controls. B. Cooperation between stakeholders. C. Complete removal of digital devices. D. Prioritizing mental health evaluations. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章介绍了牛津互联网研究所一篇新论文指出，鉴于青少年广泛使用AI，因此AI研究需明确框架，并呼吁借鉴社交媒体研究教训，建立合作框架，确保 AI 对青少年安全有益。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A new peer-reviewed paper from experts at the Oxford Internet Institute (OII), highlights the need for a clear framework when it comes to artificial intelligence (AI) research, given the rapid adoption of AI by children and adolescents using digital devices to access the Internet and social media.(牛津互联网研究所专家发表的一篇新的同行评审论文强调，鉴于儿童和青少年正通过数字设备快速使用人工智能访问互联网和社交媒体，人工智能研究需要一个清晰的框架)”推知，目前的人工智能研究需要一个结构化的指导方针来保护青少年。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The paper,  From Social Media to Artificial Intelligence: Improving Research on Digital Harms in Youth, calls for a “critical re-evaluation” of how we study the impact of Internet-based technologies on young people’s mental health, and outlines where future AI research can learn from several pitfalls of social media research.(这篇题为《从社交媒体到人工智能：改进青少年数字危害研究》的论文呼吁 “审慎重新评估” 我们研究网络技术对青少年心理健康影响的方式，并指出未来人工智能研究可从社交媒体研究的若干误区中吸取经验)”可知，该论文呼吁 “审慎重新评估” 是为了评估人工智能对青少年的影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““Research on the effects of AI, as well as evidence for policymakers and advice for caregivers, must learn from the issues that have faced social media research,” said Dr Karen Mansfield, postdoctoral researcher at the OII and lead author of the paper. “Young people are already adopting new ways of interacting with AI, and without a solid framework for collaboration between stakeholders (利益相关者), evidence-based policy on AI will fall behind, as it did for social media.”(“对人工智能影响研究，以及为政策制定者提供的依据和为照护者提供的建议，必须从社交媒体研究曾面临的问题中吸取经验。” 牛津互联网研究所博士后研究员、该论文的主要作者Karen Mansfield博士表示，“青少年已在采用与人工智能互动的新方式，若没有利益相关者协作的坚实框架，基于证据的人工智能政策就会滞后，就像当初社交媒体领域那样。”)”可知，若没有协作框架，基于证据的人工智能政策就会滞后，这意味着政策制定者无法提供基于证据的指导。即如果利益相关者不能在人工智能研究上合作，那么政策制定者将无法提供基于证据的指导。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We are calling for a cooperative evidence-based framework that will hold big tech firms accountable in a proactive, incremental (递增的) , and informative way,” said Professor Andrew Przybylski, OII Professor of Human Behaviour and Technology. “Without building on past lessons, in ten years we could be back to square one, viewing the place of AI in much the same way we feel helpless about social media and smartphones. We have to take active steps now so that AI can be safe and beneficial to children and adolescents.”(“我们呼吁建立一个基于证据的合作框架，以积极主动、逐步推进且信息透明的方式让大型科技公司承担责任。” 牛津互联网研究所人类行为与技术教授Andrew Przybylski表示，“如果不借鉴过去的经验，十年后我们可能会回到原点——就像如今对社交媒体和智能手机感到无力一样，对人工智能的定位也会陷入同样的困境。我们现在必须采取积极措施，确保人工智能对儿童和青少年而言是安全且有益的。”)”可知，Andrew Przybylski认为如果没有合作框架，不借鉴过去的经验，十年后我们可能会回到原点，对人工智能感到无力，并陷入困境。由此推知，Professor Przybyski强调了合作框架的重要性，即利益相关者之间协作的重要性。故选B。 D Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed that some wild plant species possess certain attributes which make them more suitable for human cultivation (栽培) than others. The scientists, investigating the origins of domesticated (驯化的) plants, say understanding these key genetic and morphological (形态学的) properties may provide important clues about how to develop future, climate change adapted crops. They suggest that looking at today’s existing domesticated plants could help meet future challenges of developing varieties to resist rising global temperatures and unpredictable weather. Domesticated plants are those which have been adapted from the wild for human use, often over thousands of years. Around 12 thousand years ago, hunter-gatherer societies began cultivating a wide range of species as more reliable sources of food. By repeatedly growing seeds from their best plants each season, humans slowly produced stronger crops with improved output — but only some of the wild species were domesticated and others were abandoned. The researchers behind this new study say useful, hidden properties in some wild species prepared them for domestication. Their research reviews a host of past literature and evidence to examine why just a minority of these wild plants were domesticated and how modern cultivated varieties differ at a genetic level from their ancestors and present-day wild “cousins”. Lead author of the study, Professor Mark Chapman of the University of Southampton, explains, “Tens of thousands of plant species are eatable, yet just a few hundred have been domesticated and a mere 15 species provide 90 percent of our calories. Hundreds of wild plants were collected during the Neolithic Period by humans, but were later abandoned as food sources. We have explored which genetic or physical traits facilitated or constrained the domestication of wild species.” The scientists conclude that present-day wild plants, underused crops in local communities, or partially domesticated species may hold key, useful traits which can be controlled through selection and precision breeding. They hope their study will help inform future work to adapt species with the aim of improving our food security in a fast-changing world climate. 12. What does the underlined word “attributes” mean in paragraph 1? A. Varieties. B. Alternatives. C. Properties. D. Qualifications. 13. What did the domestication process suggest about human selection? A. Output improvement was key in cultivation. B. Humans prioritized plants with rapid growth. C. Hunter- gatherers avoided plant cultivation initially. D. All wild species were equally suitable for domestication. 14. What is the ultimate goal of the research conducted by the University of Southampton? A. To increase domesticated plant species. B. To ensure food security in climate change. C. To identify the most nutritious wild plants. D. To preserve the genetic diversity of wild plants. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Climate Change Impacts and Future crop Strategies B. The Domestication of Wild Plants and Food Security C. The Genetics of Wild Plants and Their Diverse Attributes D. The History of Cultivation and Hunter-gatherers’ Practices 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了南安普顿大学研究发现部分野生植物因特定属性更易驯化，其基因和形态特征或助培育适应气候变化的作物，保障粮食安全。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“which make them more suitable for human cultivation (栽培) than others(使得它们比其他植物更适合人类的栽培)”可知，某些野生植物比其他植物更适合人类的栽培，说明了某些野生植物具有某些独特的特性。故划线词意思是“特性”，与“Properties(属性，特性)” 意思相近。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“By repeatedly growing seeds from their best plants each season, humans slowly produced stronger crops with improved output — but only some of the wild species were domesticated and others were abandoned.(通过每年在最佳植株上重复播种种子，人类逐渐培育出了更强壮且产量更高的作物——但只有部分野生物种被驯化，而其他一些则被遗弃了)”可知，驯化过程表明人类选择的重点是在种植过程中，产量的提高是关键因素。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“They hope their study will help inform future work to adapt species with the aim of improving our food security in a fast-changing world climate.(他们希望他们的研究能够为未来的工作提供参考，从而帮助物种适应环境，目的是在快速变化的世界气候中改善我们的粮食安全)”可知，南安普敦大学所开展的研究的最终目标是以确保在气候变化背景下的人类粮食安全。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Researchers at the University of Southampton have proposed that some wild plant species possess certain attributes which make them more suitable for human cultivation (栽培) than others.

Our school’s Open Day is crucial as it builds a vital connection between school, families, and the community. It showcases our vibrant learning environment, boosting school spirit and students’ pride. My suggestion is to set up interactive subject exhibitions. Each key subject (Science Lab, English Corner, Robotics Club) could run a mini-exhibition booth. Staffed by student volunteers, these booths would feature simple demonstrations, student projects, and hands-on activities. This goes beyond passive tours. Visitors experience our academic strengths firsthand through student-led interaction. Prospective students see the exciting opportunities, and parents witness practical learning and students’ confidence. It truly brings our curriculum to life and highlights what makes our school unique. Hope this idea is helpful!

Wildfires had been spreading through the Los Angeles area for days, forcing nearly 200,000 people to leave their homes. The air smelled like burnt toast, making Kalyna’s eyes water. Kalyna’s family had already loaded their horses onto trucks, but Sovereignty — a nervous brown horse belonging to their neighbor — refused to enter the vehicle. Flames moved closer, coloring the sky red. His ears twitched (抽动) nervously as flames licked the mountainside three miles away. “Easy, boy,” Kalyna whispered, trying to keep him calm. She knew time was running out. When Sovereignty stepped back nervously, smelling the smoke, Kalyna made a quick decision. Holding his reins (缰绳) tightly, she climbed onto his back. “We’ll do this together,” she said. The 14-mile escape path went through dangerous mountains. Kalyna sometimes rode and sometimes walked beside Sovereignty to save his energy. Burning pieces of wood flew around them like angry bees, while her father followed behind in his car, headlights shining through the smoky air. Twice, Sovereignty stopped at broken branches, his body wet with sweat. Kalyna’s legs hurt, and her throat felt dry, but she kept talking softly to the horse. “Just a little farther,” she encouraged, offering him water from her canteen. As they reached the safe area, people waiting by the road cheered. Sovereignty’s ears moved forward at the sounds. Kalyna got off the horse, her legs shaking slightly, and touched her face to the horse’s sweating side. “We made it,” she said quietly. A firefighter ran toward them, but Kalyna kept watching Sovereignty—now eating grass peacefully, as if nothing had happened. Kalyna smiled weakly, her heart pounding despite the relief. 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。 Two months later, Kalyna stood nervously at an award ceremony. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Backstage, a familiar horse sound made Kalyna turn quickly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Two months later, Kalyna stood meroously at an award ceremony. When her name was called, the crowd cheered loudly, their cheers echoing through the grand hall. Holding the medal, she remembered the smoky air and Sovereignty’s nervous eyes. “I just did what felt right,” she told everyone, her voice shaking. A reporter asked why she risked her life. Kalyna smiled slightly and said, “When you love someone—even a horse—you don’t think about danger.” The room fell silent, for a moment before bursting into warmer applause. Backstage, a familiar horse sound made Kalyna turn quickly. Sovereignty stood there with a blue ribbon, his head held high. Her father waved from behind. “He wanted to thank you,” her father said. Kalyna hugged the horse’s strong neck, feeling his steady heartbeat against her cheek. Outside, the setting sun painted the sky gold—no longer red with fire, but bright with promise. “Ready to go home?” she whispered. Sovereignty lowered his head in agreement. Side by side, they walked toward the horizon, their shadows stretching long under the peaceful evening sky. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了16岁的卡莉娜在洛杉矶山火中，为救邻居那匹不愿上车的马Sovereignty，骑上它穿越14英里危险山区逃生。两个月后，她获颁奖项，而Sovereignty也到场致谢，两人在夕阳下一同回家。 详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“两个月后，卡琳娜独自站在一个颁奖典礼上”可知，第一段可描写卡琳娜回忆救马的经过以及解释原因。 ②由第二段首句内容“在幕后，一阵熟悉的马蹄声让卡琳娜立刻转过身来”可知，第二段可描写Sovereignty也到场致谢，两人在夕阳下一同回家。 2.续写线索：卡琳娜得奖——卡琳娜回忆——记者询问原因——卡琳娜说明原因——Sovereignty到场致谢——一同回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①询问：ask/inquire ②爆发：burst into/erupt into ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①喜爱：love/be fond of/adore ②感谢：thank you/show gratitude to 【点睛】[高分句型1] When her name was called, the crowd cheered loudly, their cheers echoing through the grand hall.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] A reporter asked why she risked her life.（运用了why引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
