Try one or more of these plant experiments for fun and learning. *Color carnations (康乃馨) Fill a glass with water and color the water. Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water. *Plant root vegetables Find out how root vegetables form underground by planting them in a clear container. First, fill the bottom of the container with small stones. Next, add potting soil and plant rot vegetable seeds, trying carrots or onions, evenly. Keep the soil wet and enjoy watching the rot form. Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it! *Study speedy sunflowers Sunflower seeds sprout (发芽) and grow quickly, making this the perfect flower for impatient children. These seeds can be started just about anywhere, even in a paper coffee cup or yogurt container. Kids love seeing the plant push its way out of the soil, wearing the seed’s outer part like a hat! Move your plant to a flower pot after it sprouts to observe the lower as it forms. *Make a grass basket Grass is another seed that grows quickly. Make a living basket by lining a basket with plastic and filling it with potting soil Put grass seeds on top and water them lightly every day. Growing plants is a great way to bring some leaning—and a little sunshine—to your daily life. Try any of these inexpensive garden experiments for a fun project this spring. 1. Which garden experiment will you choose to see how plants “drink” water? A. Color carnations. B. Make a grass basket. C. Plant root vegetables. D. Study speedy sunflowers. 2.

They both grow very quickly. B My mother always told me, “You should explore your own country before stepping out into the world.” However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad. For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3, 000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise. The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies. Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief. Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination. 4. What has made the author’s train adventure across Canada a reality? A. The encouragement given by his mother. B. The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada. C. The appeal of the scenic views in the country. D. His great courage to challenge a tough mission. 5. What can we infer about the young people from Paragraph 2? A. They left their parents for the first time in their life. B. They never thought of having a train adventure. C. They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter. D. They were excited about the coming train journey. 6. What does “the glass bubble” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. The glass-domed train car. B. The sightseeing tour. C. A state of excitement. D. A summer camp on the train. 7. What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada? A. The destination is what matters. B. Adventurous journey attracts young people. C. Enjoying a journey counts a lot. D. The traveling experience is not real to him. C Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit. 8. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest? A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees. C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize. 9. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A bee. B. A bird. C. Animals or people looking for honey. D. A beekeeper. 10. The honey guide is special in the way ______. A. it gets its food B. it goes to church C it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees’ nests 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey C Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover’s Helper D Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind? A research by Scott Barry Kaufinan, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work. So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring 'Aha! moment to us.” Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson. author of Your Creative Brain. “A showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation period’ for your ideas.” Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.” Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance. Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it's a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home. 12. According to the article, what changes can showering cause? A. Increasing the level of dopamine. B. Bringing the terrible moment to us. C. Leading to boredom or tiredness. D. Setting the creative part of the brain free. 13. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help________. A. draw one's attention to the outside world B. turn one's attention inwards C. experience something new D. many chemical changes take place 14. It can be inferred from the article that ___________. A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new view B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task 15. The example of Gertnude Stein in the last paragraph is used to________. A. show that creativity often comes from strange places B. point out to readers that it's hard to find inspiration C. explain how to link inspiration with readers' daily lives D. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration 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。 In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of gods or some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation and people always practice special traditional activities in each festival.

This is Radio Three, the one o’clock news. A female wolf escaped from the Monterey Zoo this morning, which is believed to be still at large in the Monterey area. If hungry, the wolf might be dangerous. If anyone sees this animal, please inform the nearest police station.” Buried in making lunch before her baby woke up, Mrs. Smith switched the radio off with a little attention. In order to avoid disturbing her sleeping baby, she pushed the pram (婴儿车) into the garden, left it under a tree out of the sun as usual and went into the kitchen. Several minutes later, she came to the back door to see if everything was all right. To her a little surprise, there was a big “dog” standing by the pram, looking at the baby. “That’s the Johnson’s dog. I’ve told them they ought to keep that great animal in their own garden. Those dogs are a bit too much like wolves.” Mrs. Smith thought. Then she went cold. “Wolves. What have I heard about wolves?” She was sure she had heard something about an escaped wolf on the radio. She looked hard at the creature by the pram. The more she looked, the more certain she became. It wasn’t the dog from next door. Like it, but different. It was as big as the dog, but the color was greyer and it looked thinner. At this moment the creature put its front legs on the side of the pram and looked at the sleeping baby, licking its face. The baby woke up and began to cry quietly. Mrs. Smith wanted to scream, but she knew it would be wrong to do that. What should she do? “Inform the police,” the radio had said. But that meant leaving the garden and going to the telephone near the front door. She was sure that somehow she must get the wolf away from the pram. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It occurred to her that the piece of meat she had bought was on the kitchen table ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the baby to her in the kitchen, she telephoned the police. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度下学期高一期末教学质量监测 英语试题 时间：120分钟 满分：150分 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上 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） 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，主要介绍了几个适合儿童进行的植物生长实验，旨在通过有趣且富有教育意义的活动，向孩子们传授关于植物生长的知识。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Color carnations (康乃馨)部分中的“Add a white carnation stalk (茎) and watch the plant become colorful as it “drinks” the colored water. This is a great, short experiment to show how plants take in water. (添加一根白色的康乃馨茎，看着植物在“喝”彩色的水时变得五彩缤纷。这是一个伟大而简短的实验，展示了植物是如何吸收水分的。)”可知，Color carnations可以观察植物如何“喝水”。故选A。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。由文章Plant root vegetables部分中的“Best of all, when the vegetable is done growing, you can eat it!

But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150. My best friends Trevor, Joel and Jeremy and I immediately jumped at the opportunity and secured four tickets on the great Canadian railroad. For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter. Although the thought of three full days on those tracks covering close to 3, 000 kilometres crushed our spirits a little, what happened next caught us by surprise. The three days on board turned into a summer camp on rails. At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution. Before we knew it, the warm sun rays beating down on our faces woke us up for another day on the rails. To my surprise, a sea of golden grain fields dominated the landscape we were in the Canadian Prairies. Another day slipped away and we set up for another night in the dome (圆顶状物). And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone in the glass bubble in complete disbelief. Arriving in the Rocky Mountains was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. Before the train adventure, if I could have skipped the travel and arrived at the destination, I would have. That is no longer true. I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination. 4. What has made the author’s train adventure across Canada a reality? A. The encouragement given by his mother. B. The discount ticket offered by Via Rail Canada. C. The appeal of the scenic views in the country. D. His great courage to challenge a tough mission. 5. What can we infer about the young people from Paragraph 2? A. They left their parents for the first time in their life. B. They never thought of having a train adventure. C. They were hooked by the magic story of Harry Potter. D. They were excited about the coming train journey. 6. What does “the glass bubble” in the fourth paragraph refer to? A. The glass-domed train car. B. The sightseeing tour. C. A state of excitement. D. A summer camp on the train. 7. What did the author learn from the train adventure across Canada? A. The destination is what matters. B. Adventurous journey attracts young people. C. Enjoying a journey counts a lot. D. The traveling experience is not real to him. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要记叙了作者和朋友乘坐火车穿越加拿大的经历，描述了他们在路途中的所见所闻和感受。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“However, it seems like a tough mission to travel all across its expansive surfaces. But luckily for me, Via Rail Canada offered youths between the ages of 18 and 25 the chance to ride the train across Canada for the month of July. The ticket was a bargain $150.(然而，穿越它广阔的表面似乎是一项艰巨的任务。但对我来说幸运的是，Via Rail Canada为18至25岁的年轻人提供了在7月份乘坐火车穿越加拿大的机会。票价便宜到150美元。)”可知，是加拿大Via铁路公司提供的折扣票让作者穿越加拿大的火车冒险变成了现实。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“For a group of 20-year-olds, this was like the first flight of young birds from the nest. When we approached the train station in the morning, our 22-day adventure from Sudbury to Vancouver was to begin. Eyes baggy from lack of sleep, we jumped on board as if it was the train to Hogwarts in Harry Potter.(对于一群20多岁的年轻人来说，这就像是雏鸟第一次从巢里飞出来。当我们早上到达火车站时，我们从Sudbury到Vancouver的22天冒险就要开始了。由于睡眠不足，我们的眼睛都肿了起来，我们跳上了火车，就好像是《哈利波特》里开往霍格沃茨的火车。)”可推知，年轻人对即将到来的火车旅行很兴奋。故选D。 【6题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段中“At night, we would climb up the glass-domed train car, which gave us a scenic view of the starry night sky, untouched by the harmful light pollution.(晚上，我们会爬上玻璃圆顶车厢，在那里我们可以看到满天星斗夜空，没有受到有害的光污染。)”以及划线短语上文And this time we were greeted by night sky painted by a fantastic thunderstorm. Lightning was striking at an incredible rate. The spectacular and memorable light show left everyone可知，这次迎接我们的是描绘着梦幻般的雷雨的夜空。闪电以令人难以置信的速度袭来。壮观而难忘的光影秀让“the glass bubble”里的每个人都难以置信。由此可知，“the glass bubble”指的是玻璃穹顶的火车车厢。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“I’ve learned that the journey can be more enjoyable than the destination.(我明白了旅途比目的地更令人愉快。)”可推知，作者从穿越加拿大的火车冒险中学到了享受一段旅程很重要。故选C。 C Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide. The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share. Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit. 8. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest? A. It’s small in size. B. It’s hidden in trees. C. It’s covered with wax. D. It’s hard to recognize. 9. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. A bee. B. A bird. C. Animals or people looking for honey. D. A beekeeper. 10. The honey guide is special in the way ______. A. it gets its food B. it goes to church C. it sings in the forest D. it reaches into bees’ nests 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. Wild Bees B. Wax and Honey C. Beekeeping in Africa D. Honey-Lover’s Helper 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，本文主要介绍了一种帮助人们寻找到蜂蜜的鸟儿。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them.(通常，这些巢穴都在高高的树上，很难找到它们)”可知，蜂巢隐藏在高高的树上，所以很难找到，故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句的前一句“Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest.(一旦它引起了他们的注意，它就会在森林中飞来飞去，不时地等着好奇的动物或人类，把他们带到蜂巢)”可知，句中的“them”即“the curious animal or people”，蜂蜜向导带领好奇的动物或人来到蜂巢，然后拿走蜂蜜，故划线词“the follower(跟随者)”指代“寻找蜂蜜的动物或人”。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段内容“The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房)…and this is when the honey guide takes its share.(蜂蜜向导其实并不喜欢蜂蜜，但它确实喜欢蜂巢里的蜂蜡。这种小鸟够不到这些在蜂巢深处的蜂蜡。所以，当它找到一个合适的巢穴时，它会寻找别人来帮助它。蜂蜜向导发出一声响亮的叫声，吸引了路过的动物和人的注意。一旦引起了它们的注意，它就会飞过森林，时不时地等着这些好奇的动物或人把它们带到巢里。当他们最终到达巢穴时，跟随者伸手去拿美味的蜂蜜，而鸟耐心地等待和观察。一些蜂蜜和蜂蜡总是会掉到地上，这时候蜂蜜向导就会分一杯羹)”可知，蜂蜜向导在获取食物的方式上很特别，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，结合第一段中“In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.(然而，在非洲的部分地区，寻找蜂蜜的人和动物有一种奇怪而意想不到的帮手——一种被称为‘蜂蜜向导’的小鸟)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种帮助人们寻找到蜂蜜的鸟儿，D项“蜂蜜爱好者的帮手”为最佳标题。故选D。 D Taking a shower is relaxing. You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind? A research by Scott Barry Kaufinan, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3,000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly two-thirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work. So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”, explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring 'Aha! moment to us.” Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson. author of Your Creative Brain. “A showering hour may turn into an ‘incubation period’ for your ideas.” Compared with sitting in front of a computer, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.” Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it needn't just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance. Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it's a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home. 12. According to the article, what changes can showering cause? A. Increasing the level of dopamine. B. Bringing the terrible moment to us. C. Leading to boredom or tiredness. D. Setting the creative part of the brain free. 13. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help________. A. draw one's attention to the outside world B. turn one's attention inwards C. experience something new D. many chemical changes take place 14. It can be inferred from the article that ___________. A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new view B. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspiration C. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new things D. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task 15. The example of Gertnude Stein in the last paragraph is used to________. A. show that creativity often comes from strange places B point out to readers that it's hard to find inspiration C. explain how to link inspiration with readers' daily lives D. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspiration 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项科学实验，实验证实了洗澡对人们身心有益，尤其是激发大脑的创造力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone closely related to our creativity.(洗澡可以帮助提高我们的多巴胺水平，这是一种与创造力密切相关的荷尔蒙)”可知，洗澡会导致多巴胺水平的增加。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories.(尤其是当你一整天都在努力思考一个问题的时候，冲个澡可以让你远离外面的世界，这样你就可以专注于你的内心感受和记忆)”可知，如果一个人一整天都专注于某件事，洗澡可以帮助他把注意力转向内部。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中““New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking,” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”(“新的和意想不到的经历可以导致思维的积极改变，”考夫曼解释说。“从沙发上起来，冲个澡，可能会产生一种距离感，迫使你从一个新的角度去思考。”)”可推知，尝试一些不同的东西比专注于一项困难的任务更有帮助。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“. For instance. Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether it’s a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.(例如。美国女作家兼诗人格特鲁德·斯坦因(Gertrude Stein)在农场里四处驾车，在不同的奶牛间驻足，直到她找到了最能激发她灵感的那头奶牛，她才有了新的想法。所以，尝试创造自己的方式来解放你的思想，无论是在海边散步，在乡村开车，还是在家里看书)”可推知，最后一段中格特鲁德·斯坦的例子是为了鼓励读者找到自己的灵感来源。故选D。 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。 In the long history of about 5,000 years, numerous Chinese traditional festivals were celebrated in memory of gods or some significant days, some of which are passed down from generation to generation and people always practice special traditional activities in each festival.

A female wolf escaped from the Monterey Zoo this morning, which is believed to be still at large in the Monterey area. If hungry, the wolf might be dangerous. If anyone sees this animal, please inform the nearest police station.” Buried in making lunch before her baby woke up, Mrs. Smith switched the radio off with a little attention. In order to avoid disturbing her sleeping baby, she pushed the pram (婴儿车) into the garden, left it under a tree out of the sun as usual and went into the kitchen. Several minutes later, she came to the back door to see if everything was all right. To her a little surprise, there was a big “dog” standing by the pram, looking at the baby. “That’s the Johnson’s dog. I’ve told them they ought to keep that great animal in their own garden. Those dogs are a bit too much like wolves.” Mrs. Smith thought. Then she went cold. “Wolves. What have I heard about wolves?” She was sure she had heard something about an escaped wolf on the radio. She looked hard at the creature by the pram. The more she looked, the more certain she became. It wasn’t the dog from next door. Like it, but different. It was as big as the dog, but the color was greyer and it looked thinner. At this moment the creature put its front legs on the side of the pram and looked at the sleeping baby, licking its face. The baby woke up and began to cry quietly. Mrs. Smith wanted to scream, but she knew it would be wrong to do that. What should she do? “Inform the police,” the radio had said. But that meant leaving the garden and going to the telephone near the front door. She was sure that somehow she must get the wolf away from the pram. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右; 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It occurred to her that the piece of meat she had bought was on the kitchen table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the baby to her in the kitchen, she telephoned the police. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 It occurred to her that the piece of meat she had bought was on the kitchen table. Very quietly she slipped into the kitchen and came back with the meat. The wolf was still standing over the pram licking the baby’s face. She threw the meat into a corner under a tree well away from the pram. As the meat hit the ground the wolf looked round. It hesitated for a moment, then left for the meat and began to eat it. Mrs. Smith stole to the pram and immediately picked up the baby and ran into the kitchen as fast as possible. She sank down into a chair, crying with relief. Holding the baby to her in the kitchen, she telephoned the police. When the police arrived, she told them what had happened, and took them to the kitchen window. The wolf was lying on the grass, still eating the meat. The police said they had sent for a man from the zoo and would arrive in a minute. Five minutes later, two men from the Monterey Zoo came with a net and a small cage. Before long the wolf was safely in the cage and taken away, the rest of the meat still in its mouth. It was her calmness and bravery that saved her baby. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了Smith太太听到收音机里说一只母狼从蒙特利德动物园逃了出来，把收音机关掉了，她想在孩子醒来之前做午饭。为了避免吵醒孩子，她像往常一样，把婴儿车推到花园里，把它放在一棵树下，避开阳光，然后走进厨房。几分钟后，她来到后门看看是否一切都好。一只大狗站在婴儿车旁看着婴儿。突然，她想到了收音机里的内容，这不是狗，而是一只狼，婴儿醒了，在小声哭泣，Smith太太想尖叫，但她知道那样做是不对的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她突然想起了自己买的那块放在厨房里的肉”可知，第一段要描写Smith太太悄悄地溜进厨房，拿着肉回来成功营救婴儿的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“她在厨房里抱着孩子给警察打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写接通电话后，警察找动物园的人把狼接走了。 2.续写线索：Smith太太溜进厨房去拿肉——Smith太太扔肉——狼离开婴儿车去吃肉——Smith太太抱起婴儿——如释重负哭起来——警察到来——工作人员把狼带走 3.词汇激活： 动作类 ①舔着：lick/lap ②扔：throw/cast ③抱起：pick up/scoop up 情绪类 ①哭：cry/burst into tears ②如释重负：with relief/feel a sense of relief。 【点睛】[高分句型1] She sank down into a chair, crying with relief.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) [高分句型2]When the police arrived she told them what had happened, and took them to the kitchen window.(运用了when引导时间状语从句，what引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
