Each stands as a timeless symbol of its culture’s values and ambitions. Explore these iconic landmarks and their stories. Click here for UNESCO’s official World Heritage List. Taj Mahal, India The Taj Mahal, a white marble mausoleum (陵墓), is celebrated as the finest example of Indo-Islamic architecture. Built in 1632 by Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, it honors his beloved wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Its grand design features arches, domes (圆顶), and intricate stone inlay work (镶嵌画). Angkor Wat, Cambodia Angkor Wat, part of the ancient Khmer Empire’s capital, is the world’s largest religious structure. Originally a Hindu temple for Vishnu, this 9th-century temple complex showcases detailed carvings and remains a symbol of Southeast Asia’s rich history. Acropolis of Athens, Greece The Acropolis of Athens is an enduring symbol of Classical Greece. The crown jewel of this hilltop castle is the Parthenon, a former temple dedicated to the worship of Athena in ancient Greek religion. Built by Ictinus and Callicrates, beginning in 447 BCE, this Doric icon is regarded as the most important surviving ancient Greek monument. The Great Wall, China Stretching over 21000 kilometres, the Great Wall is one of humanity’s most ambitious architectural feats. Initially built during the 7th century BCE and expanded by later dynasties, it served as a military defence system against invasions. The best-preserved sections near Beijing, constructed with bricks and stone, display watchtowers and strategic passes. Despite erosion and tourism pressures, it remains a proud symbol of Chinese civilization. 1. Why was the Taj Mahal built? A. To serve as a Hindu temple. B. To honor an emperor's wife. C. To protect against invasions. D. To display modern architecture. 2. Which two sites were originally religious structures? A. Taj Mahal and Acropolis of Athens. B. Angkor Wat and Acropolis of Athens. C. The Great Wall and Angkor Wat. D. Taj Mahal and The Great Wall. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A travel website. B. A history textbook. C. A travel brochure. D. An academic report. B At 67, Joyce Faulkner thought she was looking for a holiday. Her husband, Jim, had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful. In the end, it was not a vacation Faulkner found but a job. She left her home in Edinburgh to become mother’s help to seven-year-old twins in Varese, Italy. “It’s halfway crazy,” she says. A house swap she was interested in didn’t work out, but the owner, Rachele, asked: “‘Do you know anyone who might help me with the children?’ I wrote back and said: ‘Tell me what that involves!’ She wrote me a little list, and I said: ‘I could do that!’ We seemed to believe in each other.” Two months later, when Faulkner reached Varese, “the dad, Andrea, was walking towards me with the children hiding behind his legs, kind of shy, thinking: ‘Who is this woman in a long black coat?’ I don’t think it was quite Mary Poppins, but the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly.” Eighteen months on, Faulkner’s job no longer feels like a job. “I just feel like part of the family.” They joke: “You think you’re going back to Scotland? No, you’re staying here!” She gives English lessons, helps with the housework, meets the children from school, plays chess or table tennis with them, and takes them to the park. “It never feels like work,” she says. “It has been absolutely the perfect match.” Faulkner’s son, Steven, who lives in London, has visited her and they have cycled around the northern Italian lakes. She feels no more distant than when she lived in Edinburgh. “You have to take the opportunity when it presents itself,” Jim once said. “I’ll be 70 in January, but in my head, I’m 30. I still feel the same person, I have the same enthusiasm for life, the same interest in people and things. In that sense, I wish I had another 70,” Faulkner jokes. 4. Why did Joyce Faulkner search the Home Exchange website? A. To hunt for a job. B. To buy a house in Italy. C. To explore holiday resorts. D. To find a holiday home for exchange. 5. What probably caused Faulkner to be hired by Rachele? A. Good luck. B. Mutal trust. C. Common interests. D. First impression. 6. What can be inferred from paragraphs 3 and 4? A. Faulkner feels less close to her son B. Faulkner feels quite at home while babysitting in Italy. C. Faulkner returned to her old business despite her advanced years. D. Faulkner was thought of as a typical baby-sitter at the first meeting. 7. Which of the following can best describe Joyce Faulkner? A. Caring and outgoing. B. Strict and responsible. C. Devoted and passionate. D. Humorous and independent. C Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, which doctors suggest we all should cut down on. “It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million adults have diabetes (糖尿病) . Why? “Sugar, we believe is one of the culprits, if not the major reason,” says Johnson. Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us. So what is the solution? It’s: obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals (谷物) to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. 8. What do scientists think of sugar? A. It benefits our health. B. It causes us to become dependent on it. C. It is less addictive than drugs. D. It should be taken under a doctor’s guidance. 9. What does the underlined word “culprits” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Diseases. B. Poor diets. C. Causes of a problem. D. Unknown things. 10. Why is it so hard to avoid sugar? A. It’s in so many foods and drinks. B. We cannot survive without it. C. It gives us much needed energy. D. We like it too much. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Ways to Avoid Sugar. B. Good Sugar VS Bad Sugar. C. Illnesses Caused by Sugar. D. Our Addiction to Sugar. D Australia is unique in many ways. It’s home to a wide range of landscapes and some of the most unusual animals on Earth. The Land Down Under is also the only place on Earth that qualifies as both a country and a continent. The definition of a continent isn’t as concrete as you might expect, but a few qualities help earn Australia that distinction. The land mass’s status (地位) as a country is for sure. A country is defined as “a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory,” and since 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia—as it’s officially known—has fit that description. Australia’s claim to be a continent is less strong. There’s no scientific definition used to categorize continents. They tend to be large land masses with their own tectonic plates (地壳板块), and isolated enough to produce unique cultures and plant and animal populations. These aren’t hard and fast rules, however. Europe and Asia share a tectonic plate, but their cultural differences justify separating them into two continents (though the boundary separating one from the other is constantly changing). When it comes to what makes Australia a continent, size is the most minor factor. It’s the smallest continent at 2. 9 million square miles, and it’s actually closer in size to Greenland than it is to South America. So what makes Australia a continent and Greenland an island? Australia’s distinctiveness carries a lot of weight here. Its isolated location allowed it to support native groups of people with distinct cultures as well as wildlife that can’t be found elsewhere on the planet. The native cultures and animals of Greenland, however, can also be found throughout the Arctic. 12. What qualifies Australia as a country? A. The distinct landscapes and animals it has. B. The establishment of Commonwealth of Australia. C. The reputation of the Land Down Under it enjoys. D. The specifically defined continent where it is located. 13. What can we learn from the paragraph 3? A. The dividing line between Asia and Europe stays fixed. B. Size is a major factor in determining Australia as a continent. C. Each continent occupies a tectonic plate separated from others. D. The definition of a continent doesn’t necessarily follow set rules. 14. Why is Greenland an island rather than a continent? A. Because it is much smaller than South America. B. Because it does not cover a whole tectonic plate. C. Because it lacks uniqueness in culture and wildlife. D. Because it is too close and is attached to the Arctic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Is Australia Different from Greenland? B. How Were the Continents on Earth Determined? C. What Sets Australia Apart from Other Continents? D. Why Is Australia a Continent as Well as a Country? 四、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you an art hobbyist or perhaps an art lover wishing to become an artist?

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 毕节市第一中学2025学年高一下学期期中考试 英语试卷 一、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。（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 1．What does the man probably want to buy?

Her husband, Jim, had recently died and exploring possible house swaps on the Home Exchange website felt less painful.”（67 岁乔伊斯福克纳以为自己在寻找一个假期。她的丈夫吉姆最近去世了，在房屋交换网站上寻找房屋交换感觉不那么痛苦。）可知，乔伊斯福克纳搜索房屋交换网站是为了寻找可供交换的度假屋。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“We seemed to believe in each other.”（我们似乎都相信对方）可知，让福克纳被拉切尔聘用的原因是因为相互信任。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“the atmosphere was immediately warm and friendly.”（气氛立刻变得温暖而友好。）以及第四段中“I just feel like part of the family.”（我感觉像是这个家的一员）可推断出，福克纳在意大利当保姆时，感觉就像在家里一样。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“She gives English lessons, helps with the housework, meets the children from school, plays chess or table tennis with them, and takes them to the park. ‘It never feels like work,’ she says. It has been absolutely the perfect match.”（她给孩子们上英语课，帮忙做家务，接孩子们放学，陪他们下棋或打乒乓球，带他们去公园玩。她说：“我从来不觉得这是工作。这绝对是天作之合。”）可知福克纳是敬业的；根据最后一段“I’ll be 70 in January, but in my head, I’m 30. I still feel the same person, I have the same enthusiasm for life, the same interest in people and things”（今年1月我就70岁了，但在我的脑海中，我还是30岁。我还是那个我，对生活充满热情，对人对事充满兴趣。） 可知尽管年事已高，但她对生活依然充满激情。故选C项。 C Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good. Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more. All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect. In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, which doctors suggest we all should cut down on. “It seems like every time I study an illness and search for the first cause, I find my way back to sugar,” says scientist Richard Johnson. One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure, and up to 347 million adults have diabetes (糖尿病) . Why? “Sugar, we believe is one of the culprits, if not the major reason,” says Johnson. Our bodies are designed to survive on very little sugar. Early humans often had very little food, so our bodies learned to be very efficient in storing sugar as fat. In this way, we had energy stored when there was no food. But today, most people have more than enough. So the very thing that once saved us may now be killing us. So what is the solution? It’s: obvious that we need to eat less sugar. The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals (谷物) to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it. But there are those who are fighting back against sugar. Many schools are replacing sugary desserts with healthier food like fruit. Other schools are growing their own food in gardens, or building facilities like walking tracks so students and others in the community can exercise. 8. What do scientists think of sugar? A. It benefits our health. B. It causes us to become dependent on it. C. It is less addictive than drugs. D. It should be taken under a doctor’s guidance. 9. What does the underlined word “culprits” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Diseases. B. Poor diets. C. Causes of a problem. D. Unknown things. 10. Why is it so hard to avoid sugar? A. It’s in so many foods and drinks. B. We cannot survive without it. C It gives us much needed energy. D. We like it too much. 11. What is the best title for the passage? A. Ways to Avoid Sugar. B. Good Sugar VS Bad Sugar. C. Illnesses Caused by Sugar. D. Our Addiction to Sugar. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了人们对糖上瘾以及戒不掉糖的原因，以及吃糖的危害。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction.  When we eat or drink sugary foods, the sugar enters our blood and affects parts of our brain that make us feel good.  Then the good feeling goes away, leaving us wanting more.   All tasty foods do this, but sugar has a particularly strong effect.   In this way, it is in fact an addictive drug, which doctors suggest we all should cut down on.(许多科学家认为，我们对糖的喜爱实际上可能是一种上瘾。当我们吃或喝含糖食物时，糖会进入我们的血液，影响我们大脑中让我们感觉良好的部分。然后这种美好的感觉消失了，让我们想要更多。所有美味的食物都有这种作用，但糖的作用尤其强烈。这样看来，它实际上是一种令人上瘾的药物，医生建议我们都应该减少使用)”可知，科学家认为糖使我们变得依赖它。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“One-third of adults worldwide have high blood pressure and up to 347 million have diabetes. Why? (全球有三分之一的成人有高血压，高达3. 47亿的人有糖尿病。为什么？)”可知，后文应该在说原因，糖是其中的一个原因，但并非主要原因。故划线词意思是“问题的原因”。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The trouble is, in today’s world, it’s extremely difficult to avoid. From breakfast cereals (谷物) to after-dinner desserts, our foods are increasingly filled with it.(问题是，在当今世界，这是极其难以避免的。从早餐麦片到餐后甜点，我们的食物中越来越多地充斥着它)”可知，难以避免糖的原因是绝大多数的食物里面都含有糖，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Many scientists believe our love of sugar may actually be an addiction. (许多科学家认为，我们对糖的喜爱实际上可能是一种上瘾)”以及文章介绍了人们对糖上瘾的问题，所以D项“我们对糖的依赖”是本文最好的标题。故选D。 D Australia is unique in many ways. It’s home to a wide range of landscapes and some of the most unusual animals on Earth. The Land Down Under is also the only place on Earth that qualifies as both a country and a continent. The definition of a continent isn’t as concrete as you might expect, but a few qualities help earn Australia that distinction. The land mass’s status (地位) as a country is for sure. A country is defined as “a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory,” and since 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia—as it’s officially known—has fit that description. Australia’s claim to be a continent is less strong. There’s no scientific definition used to categorize continents. They tend to be large land masses with their own tectonic plates (地壳板块), and isolated enough to produce unique cultures and plant and animal populations. These aren’t hard and fast rules, however. Europe and Asia share a tectonic plate, but their cultural differences justify separating them into two continents (though the boundary separating one from the other is constantly changing). When it comes to what makes Australia a continent, size is the most minor factor. It’s the smallest continent at 2. 9 million square miles, and it’s actually closer in size to Greenland than it is to South America. So what makes Australia a continent and Greenland an island? Australia’s distinctiveness carries a lot of weight here. Its isolated location allowed it to support native groups of people with distinct cultures as well as wildlife that can’t be found elsewhere on the planet. The native cultures and animals of Greenland, however, can also be found throughout the Arctic. 12. What qualifies Australia as a country? A. The distinct landscapes and animals it has. B. The establishment of Commonwealth of Australia. C. The reputation of the Land Down Under it enjoys. D. The specifically defined continent where it is located. 13. What can we learn from the paragraph 3? A The dividing line between Asia and Europe stays fixed. B. Size is a major factor in determining Australia as a continent. C. Each continent occupies a tectonic plate separated from others. D. The definition of a continent doesn’t necessarily follow set rules. 14. Why is Greenland an island rather than a continent? A. Because it is much smaller than South America. B. Because it does not cover a whole tectonic plate. C. Because it lacks uniqueness in culture and wildlife. D. Because it is too close and is attached to the Arctic. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. How Is Australia Different from Greenland? B. How Were the Continents on Earth Determined? C. What Sets Australia Apart from Other Continents? D. Why Is Australia a Continent as Well as a Country? 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。讲述了澳大利亚既是一个国家也是一个大陆的原因，表明其独特性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“A country is defined as “a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory,” and since 1901, the Commonwealth of Australia—as it’s officially known—has fit that description.”（一个国家被定义为‘一个拥有自己政府，占据某一特定领土的国家’，自1901年起，官方所称的澳大利亚联邦就符合这一描述。）可知，1901年澳大利亚联邦的成立使其满足成为一个国家的条件，故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“There’s no scientific definition used to categorize continents. They tend to be large land masses with their own tectonic plates (地壳板块) , and isolated enough to produce unique cultures and plant and animal populations. These aren’t hard and fast rules, however.”（没有科学的定义来对大陆进行分类。它们往往具有自己的板块构造，足够独立，可以产生独特的文化和动植物种群。然而，并没有硬性的规定。）可知，判定大陆的条件不一定得遵循一成不变的标准，故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Australia’s distinctiveness carries a lot of weight here. Its isolated location allowed it to support native groups of people with distinct cultures as well as wildlife that can’t be found elsewhere on the planet. The native cultures and animals of Greenland, however, can also be found throughout the Arctic.”（澳大利亚的独特性在这里很重要。它与世隔绝的地理位置使它能够支持具有不同文化的土著群体，以及在地球上其他地方找不到的野生动物。然而，格陵兰岛的本土文化和动物也遍及北极。）可知，格陵兰岛不具备作为独立大陆的原因是不具备文化和动物物种的独特性，故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The Land Down Under is also the only place on Earth that qualifies as both a country and a continent.”（The Land Down Under（澳大利亚的别称）是地球上唯一一个同时具备国家和大陆资格的地方。）可知，本文主要围绕着澳大利亚既是一个国家也是一个大路展开，讲述其原因，D项“为什么澳大利亚既是一个国家也是一个大陆？”符合文意，故选D。 四、七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Are you an art hobbyist or perhaps an art lover wishing to become an artist?

For example, you'd better lay out your paints, prepare your pencils, fill your cups with water, and set everything up for creation. This way, you can dive right into the creative process when inspiration calls.( 当你想在短时间内工作时，重要的是不要浪费时间收集工具和寻找良好的照明。例如，你最好准备好你的颜料，准备好你的铅笔，把你的杯子装满水，把所有的东西都准备好。这样，当灵感来临时，你就可以直接投入到创作过程中。)”可知，本段主要讲的是为了能在灵感来时迅速进入创作过程，要提前准备工具，布置光线等。B项Keep your materials at the ready.（准备好你的材料。）和该段主旨意思一致，总结该段内容。故选B项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Record your ideas in a Notes app or save posts from your favorite artists.( 在Notes应用程序中记录你的想法，或者保存你最喜欢的艺术家的帖子。)”提到保存你最喜欢的艺术家的帖子。F项These collections are valuable when you ' re unsure what to create.（当你不确定要创作什么的时候，这些收集很有价值。）承接上文内容，对上文内容的语意递进，上下文紧密连接。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据该段标题“Use the partner system(使用合作伙伴系统)”以及上文“Look for in-person or online meet-up groups to create a network of like-minded artists.

Clara walked in quietly. Her shoes stepped on wood shavings (刨花) that sparkled in the sunlight. Through the dusty windows, the morning light shone on Grandfather’s rough hands. He was gluing a maple chair leg. The wall calendar still showed January. Its yellowed pages were curling, just like dry leaves. An open order book lay on the desk. February’s page was empty. There had been no new orders since mid-January. Clara held her breath and recorded Grandfather with her phone. She focused on his quick hands as he measured angles with a metal ruler. “This might help him,” she thought, eager to show how skilled he was. However, when she posted the video online, negative comments flooded in. “Old ways for a dying business!” “No wonder the business is failing!” Saddened, Clara deleted the video quickly. A spider crawled over the empty order book. Its blank pages showed not many people wanted handmade things these days. “Want to see my treasure?” Grandpa’ s voice broke the silence. He opened a leather album filled with pencil sketches (草图) like library chairs from 1958 and park benches from 1962. A faded photo slipped out: a smiling boy missing two teeth was grinning at the camera, holding a curved (弯曲的) spoon proudly. “Timmy, my former student,” Grandfather smiled, touching the curve of the spoon in the photo. “Now he designs furniture for tall buildings. Last month’s newspaper had an article about his curved stairs. It was inspired by this very spoon.” He tapped the photo, adding, “Machines make things fast, but hands remember stories.” Clara looked at the photo — the curved spoon, Timmy’s smile, and Grandpa’s young handwriting on the back: Timmy’s first repair, age 7. Beside her, fresh wood shavings were shining. “Stories must be told,” Clara murmured, taking out her phone again. This time, she aimed to share not just the work, but the story behind it. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The next morning, Clara uploaded a new video. This time, her camera swept across the leather album’s sketches of Timmy’s curved spoon and lingered on a yellowed newspaper clipping featuring his iconic stairs. As Grandfather narrated their story, she zoomed in on his hands — wrinkled yet steady — shaping a piece of wood into art. The video ended with his voice, “Hands remember stories machines forget.” By noon, comments exploded, “Hands of a legend!” “Need this magic in my home!” Shares of the video skyrocketed. Amid the flood of praise, Clara spotted a message, “I’m coming to see you soon, Master-back to where the magic began!” Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo. A week later, Timmy, now a famous furniture designer, walked in the workshop. He embraced Grandfather, tears glistening. “Your spoon taught me curves have souls,” he said, placing the curved spoon on the desk. Together, they designed a signature chair — Timmy sketching modern lines on his tablet while Grandfather penciling his classic curves. Clara captured the moment: their four hands shaping a maple chair leg together, mirroring the one Grandfather had glued a week before. When Timmy posted the video, orders poured in: new chairs with curved legs, and even wooden benches for the town park. Wood shavings danced in the sunlight as the workshop came back to life, the order book’s empty February page now filled with March’s growing demands. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Clara 的祖父经营的手工坊生意惨淡，Clara 首次上传祖父工作视频遭负面评价后删除。祖父向她展示了皮革相册里学生 Timmy 的相关物品，讲述 Timmy 受自己影响成为著名家具设计师的故事，Clara 决定再次拍摄视频，这次要分享手工背后的故事 。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天早上，Clara上传了一个新视频。”可知，第一段可描述新视频的内容，如视频里展现了祖父的哪些故事和技艺，以及该视频发布后在网络上引发的反应，包括网友的评论、分享量等情况 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，蒂米走进了工作室，他现在已经是一位著名的家具设计师了。”可知，第二段可描写Timmy 来到工作室后的情节展开，如他与祖父的互动，他们之间的对话、情感交流，以及他们共同做了什么事情，最终对工作室产生了怎样的影响。 2.续写线索：上传新视频（介绍视频内容）→视频引发热烈反响（网友评论、分享）→Timmy 看到视频决定拜访→Timmy来到工作室与祖父相聚（拥抱、对话）→两人共同设计椅子（描述设计过程）→Clara记录时刻→Timmy 发布视频→订单涌入，工作室重焕生机 。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①发现：spot/find ②放置：place/put ③拥抱：embrace/hug ④开始：begin/start 情绪类 赞扬：praise/compliment 【点睛】[高分句型1] Her eyes widened at Timmy’s profile picture which just matched the same grin from that faded photo.
