Here are some of the places that almost every person wants to see in their life. Santorini This is one of the most amazing places in the world. It is said to have been destroyed in the 16th century. It has been rebuilt and its beauty increases with every passing day. There are a lot of islands in Greece and time permitting, sunbathing on any of these would be an unforgettable experience. The Capilano Suspension Bridge An amazing place to visit in the world is the Capilano Suspension Bridge. This bridge is located in Vancouver in British Columbia, a province of Canada. It’s almost 140 meters long and 70 meters above the river. Surrounded by lush rainforest, it offers visitors breathtaking views of the canyon and the river below. The bridge sways (摇晃) gently in the wind, adding an exciting element to the experience. Rome Another beautiful place to visit is the ancient city of Rome in Italy. It is also known as the center of Western civilization. This city was founded in 753 BC. The Colosseum, one of the world’s most historical sites, is also in Rome. The Taj Mahal It is also a good choice to visit the Taj Mahal in India. It is called the monument (纪念碑) of love and built to show Mughal Emperor Shah Jeha’s love for his wife. It is located on the south bank of the Yamuna River. Its ivory-white (象牙白) color is also attractive and it is one of the miracles of the Mughal art of building. 1. What can visitors do in Santorini? A. Enjoy themselves in the sun. B. Witness a symbol of love. C. Climb a famous bridge. D. Pay a visit to the Colosseum. 2. What do we know about the Taj Mahal from the text? A. Its roof is made of ivory. B. It is a Mughal-style building. C It was built by Mughal Emperor Shah as his grave. D. It is located on the north bank of the Yamuna River. 3.

Nathan Seawood doesn’t let his disability keep him from the weight room. Instead, he’s learning to bear a different load. “This isn’t just a physical battle in the gym,” Seawood said. “It’s a mental battle for myself.” Refusing to be weighed down by his disability, Seawood draws strength from his mind, as he fights to make it through each step. “That takes a lot out of me. I push my body so hard that I’m tired,” said Seawood, who once thought he might have to give up the weights forever. Seawood ended up in a hospital bed with one leg after falling off a boat in Long Lake near Traverse City in June, 2019. His left leg got caught in the propeller and had to be cut. “I didn’t want people to see me,” Seawood said. “I couldn’t accept what had happened to me because it’s a lifestyle change. And that was hard. I was down bad.” Seawood said a therapist helped lift his spirits. “I wanted to be able to walk and that was difficult because I’m using muscles that never really get noticed as much,” Seawood said. Now he’s using those muscles to train hard at Grand Rapids City Gym, inspiring those around him to keep pushing. “He faces difficulties most of us don’t have to,” Jeff Phillips, who owns the gym, said. “I mean, he’s in here and he only has one leg, but he’s doing a lot of the same lifts everybody with two legs are doing. It’s surely encouraging to see him doing that.” Despite life’s best attempt to knock him down, Seawood is still standing, and while he may exercise differently from others, he’s thankful to still be moving. “I might have a disability, but I’m not disabled,” Seawood said. 4. What plays the key role in Seawood’s weightlifting? A. His right leg. B. The others’ encouragement. C. His strong will. D. His family. 5. What led to Nathan Seawood’s disability? A. An accident. B. An early birth. C. A serious disease. D. A medical mistake. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Nathan Seawood? A. Confident and honest. B. Smart and hardworking. C. Calm and modest. D. Determined and positive. 7. Why is Jeff Phillips mentioned in paragraph 6? A. To tell Seawood’s sad story. B. To draw attention to weightlifting. C. To speak highly of Seawood. D. To show sympathy for Seawood. C No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). “We study spiking neural networks (尖峰神经网络), which are systems that learn much as living brains do,” said Yijing Watkins, a computer scientist from LANL. “We trained a neuromorphic (神经形态的) processor in a way how humans and other biological systems learn from their environment during childhood development.” Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations (模拟) became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning. When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to what living brains experience during sleep, stability was recovered. “It was as though we were giving the neural networks a good night’s rest,” said Watkins. The discovery came about as the research team worked to develop neural networks that are as close as how humans and other biological systems learn to see. The group initially struggled with stabilizing simulated neural networks undergoing unattended dictionary training, which involves classifying objects without providing examples to compare them to. The researchers expose the networks to an artificial simulation of sleep as nearly a final effort to stabilize them. They experimented with various types of noise. The best results came when they used waves of so-called Gaussian noise. These waves can make sure that the neural networks keep stable. The group’s next goal is to apply their algorithm (算法) to Intel’s Loihi, a product which uses spiking neural networks to work. They hope allowing Loihi to sleep from time to time will enable it to stably process information from a camera in real time. If it can confirm the need for sleep in artificial brains, we can probably expect the same to be true of human-like robots and other intelligent machines that may come about in the future. 8. What did Watkins and her research team find? A. Neural networks are far from stable. B. Artificial brains may need break as well. C. Neural networks are very sensitive to noise. D. Human-like robots need equal rest to humans. 9. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Contrary. B. Beneficial. C. Similar. D. Related. 10. Why will the researchers apply the algorithm to Loihi? A. To better update Loihi. B. To enable Loihi to run faster. C. To further confirm their discovery. D. To make sure Loihi get enough sleep. 11. In which section can we probably find this article? A. Mind & Brain. B. Business & Industry. C. Medicine & Care. D. Computer & Science. D It is a well-known fact that plastic bottles, which take hundreds of years to rot, are harmful to our environment. However, efforts by environmentalists to encourage consumers to switch to alternatives, like water fountains or reusable bottles, have not been very effective. The U.S. alone uses over 50 million plastic bottles annually, 80% of which end up in landfills. To try to stop that, Rodrigo García González, Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche from the Imperial College London have been working on a revolutionary solution — water wrapped inside an eatable container made mostly from seaweed. All the customer has to do to relieve his/her thirst is pop the entire drop into the mouth. The inventors, who have been working on the Ooho bubble since 2014, use a simple two-step cooking process called spherification (球化) to create the delicate container. They begin by dipping a frozen ball of water or juice into a chemical solution (溶液). This helps form a layer around the liquid. The ball is then absorbed in a solution made from seaweed extract. This creates a second layer, helping strengthen the structure so that the water or juice does not leak. In addition to saving our environment, the biodegradable (可降解的) packaging costs just two cents each, making it cheaper to produce than plastic. After three years of perfecting the design, the inventors, who recently raised over 1 million USD from a financial activity, are ready to bring the Ooho bubble to local market. However, there are a few challenges that still need to be overcome before the product’s launch. In addition to getting accustomed to the taste of the covering, each eatable container contains just a mouthful of water, requiring consumers to drink multiple bubbles to relieve their thirst. There is also the issue of finding an eco-friendly packaging to transport the bubbles so that they remain clean and do not burst. Hopefully, the inventors will find ways to handle the issues so that we can reduce, or perhaps even remove, plastic bottles. 12. Why was the Ooho bubble created? A. To test a newly-designed material. B. To change consumers’ drinking habit. C. To reduce pollution caused by plastic. D. To take a share of drinking water industry. 13. What will the inventors probably do next? A. Solve some specific problems of the product. B. Collect more money to expand production. C. Distribute the Ooho bubble to global market. D. Advertise the advantages of the Ooho bubble. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the Ooho bubble’s launch? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Opposed. 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Scientists Work out a New Kind of Water B. Plastic Bottles Will Be Replaced by the Ooho Bubble C. Environmental Pollution is Expected to Be Solved D. The Ooho Bubble Aims to Remove Plastic Bottles 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共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。 In our fast-speed lives, celebrations are far from just about having fun. ____16____.

I was waiting at the airport for my flight to New York. With several long hours before the flight, I hunted for a novel in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies at the checkout counter and comfortably found a place to drop. Several minutes later, I was absorbed in my book and didn’t notice somebody settled beside me. I continued to read and contented myself with my chocolate-chip cookies, but at this moment, I saw that the man sitting beside me, as bold (胆大的) as he could be, grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between! I was silently shocked and angry: “What?!” He looked decent and nothing like poor. Unbelievable as his rude act was, I tried to ignore it to avoid a scene. So I munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the cookie thief cut down my stock. I was getting more annoyed as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I weren’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.” With each cookie I took, he took one too. The moment came when there was only one cookie left in the bag, I just glared at him and wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered me half, as he ate the other. I grabbed it from him and thought: “Oh, brother! This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude! He didn’t even show any gratitude!” I finally sighed with relief when my flight was called. Gathering my belongings and heading to the gate, I couldn’t bear to look at the thief again! After boarding the plane and sinking in my seat, I sought my book, which was almost complete. As I reached in my baggage, I was astonished! There was my almost-full bag of cookies, in front of my eyes! 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。 “If mine are here,” I cried in silent despair, “the others were his!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I was waiting to claim my luggage, a familiar figure caught my eye-the “cookie thief”! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语测试卷 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。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?

It is located on the south bank of the Yamuna River. Its ivory-white (象牙白) color is also attractive and it is one of the miracles of the Mughal art of building. (它被称为爱情的纪念碑，是为了展现莫卧儿帝国皇帝沙贾汗对他妻子的爱而建造的。它位于亚穆纳河南岸。它那象牙白的颜色同样引人注目，是莫卧儿建筑艺术的奇迹之一)”可知，文章介绍了四个旅游胜地：圣托里尼、卡皮拉诺吊桥、罗马和泰姬陵。每个地方都有其独特的吸引力。圣托里尼以其美丽的岛屿和日光浴而闻名；卡皮拉诺吊桥以其惊险刺激的体验和壮丽的自然风光而吸引游客；罗马作为西方文明的中心，拥有悠久的历史和建筑；泰姬陵则是爱情的象征和莫卧儿建筑艺术的奇迹。因此，这些旅游胜地的共同点是它们各自都有独特的特色吸引游客。故选D。 B A 23-year-old man can do weightlifting in many ways as hard as any other gym-goer, but he only has one leg. Nathan Seawood doesn’t let his disability keep him from the weight room. Instead, he’s learning to bear a different load. “This isn’t just a physical battle in the gym,” Seawood said. “It’s a mental battle for myself.” Refusing to be weighed down by his disability, Seawood draws strength from his mind, as he fights to make it through each step. “That takes a lot out of me. I push my body so hard that I’m tired,” said Seawood, who once thought he might have to give up the weights forever. Seawood ended up in a hospital bed with one leg after falling off a boat in Long Lake near Traverse City in June, 2019. His left leg got caught in the propeller and had to be cut. “I didn’t want people to see me,” Seawood said. “I couldn’t accept what had happened to me because it’s a lifestyle change. And that was hard. I was down bad.” Seawood said a therapist helped lift his spirits. “I wanted to be able to walk and that was difficult because I’m using muscles that never really get noticed as much,” Seawood said. Now he’s using those muscles to train hard at Grand Rapids City Gym, inspiring those around him to keep pushing. “He faces difficulties most of us don’t have to,” Jeff Phillips, who owns the gym, said. “I mean, he’s in here and he only has one leg, but he’s doing a lot of the same lifts everybody with two legs are doing. It’s surely encouraging to see him doing that.” Despite life’s best attempt to knock him down, Seawood is still standing, and while he may exercise differently from others, he’s thankful to still be moving. “I might have a disability, but I’m not disabled,” Seawood said. 4. What plays the key role in Seawood’s weightlifting? A. His right leg. B. The others’ encouragement. C. His strong will. D. His family. 5. What led to Nathan Seawood’s disability? A. An accident. B. An early birth. C. A serious disease. D. A medical mistake. 6. Which of the following words can best describe Nathan Seawood? A. Confident and honest. B. Smart and hardworking. C. Calm and modest. D. Determined and positive. 7. Why is Jeff Phillips mentioned in paragraph 6? A. To tell Seawood’s sad story. B. To draw attention to weightlifting. C. To speak highly of Seawood. D. To show sympathy for Seawood. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了23岁的Nathan Seawood因为一次事故失去了一条腿，但凭借着坚强的意志，仍然在健身房举重，他的行为激励了周围的人继续努力。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““It’s a mental battle for myself.” Refusing to be weighed down by his disability, Seawood draws strength from his mind, as he fights to make it through each step. “That takes a lot out of me. I push my body so hard that I’m tired,” said Seawood, who once thought he might have to give up the weights forever.(“这对我来说是一场精神上的战斗。”Seawood拒绝被自己的残疾所拖累，他从自己的思想中汲取力量，努力通过每一步。“这耗费了我很多精力。我对身体的压力太大了，以至于我很累，”Seawood说，他曾经认为他可能不得不永远放弃举重)”可知，在Seawood的举重中起着关键作用的是他坚强的意志。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Seawood ended up in a hospital bed with one leg after falling off a boat in Long Lake near Traverse City in June, 2019. His left leg got caught in the propeller and had to be cut.(2019年6月，Seawood在特拉弗斯城附近的长湖从船上摔下来，一条腿躺在了医院的病床上。他的左腿被螺旋桨卡住，不得不被切掉)”可知，一次事故导致了Nathan Seawood的残疾。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Refusing to be weighed down by his disability, Seawood draws strength from his mind, as he fights to make it through each step.(Seawood拒绝被自己的残疾所拖累，他从自己的思想中汲取力量，努力通过每一步)”以及最后一段“Despite life’s best attempt to knock him down, Seawood is still standing, and while he may exercise differently from others, he’s thankful to still be moving. “I might have a disability, but I’m not disabled,” Seawood said.(尽管生活想尽办法把他打倒，但Seawood仍然站着，虽然他的运动方式可能与其他人不同，但他很庆幸自己还能活动。“我可能有残疾，但我不是无能，” Seawood说)”可推知，Nathan Seawood坚定而积极。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段““He faces difficulties most of us don’t have to,” Jeff Phillips, who owns the gym, said. “I mean, he’s in here and he only has one leg, but he’s doing a lot of the same lifts everybody with two legs are doing. It’s surely encouraging to see him doing that.”(“他面临着我们大多数人不需要面对的困难，”这家健身房的老板Jeff Phillips说。“我的意思是，他在这里，他只有一条腿，但他做了很多举重，和所有两条腿的人做的一样。看到他这样做肯定是令人鼓舞的。”)”可推知，在第六段提到Jeff Phillips是为了高度评价Seawood。故选C。 C No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). “We study spiking neural networks (尖峰神经网络), which are systems that learn much as living brains do,” said Yijing Watkins, a computer scientist from LANL. “We trained a neuromorphic (神经形态的) processor in a way how humans and other biological systems learn from their environment during childhood development.” Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations (模拟) became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning. When they exposed the networks to states that are analogous to what living brains experience during sleep, stability was recovered. “It was as though we were giving the neural networks a good night’s rest,” said Watkins. The discovery came about as the research team worked to develop neural networks that are as close as how humans and other biological systems learn to see. The group initially struggled with stabilizing simulated neural networks undergoing unattended dictionary training, which involves classifying objects without providing examples to compare them to. The researchers expose the networks to an artificial simulation of sleep as nearly a final effort to stabilize them. They experimented with various types of noise. The best results came when they used waves of so-called Gaussian noise. These waves can make sure that the neural networks keep stable. The group’s next goal is to apply their algorithm (算法) to Intel’s Loihi, a product which uses spiking neural networks to work. They hope allowing Loihi to sleep from time to time will enable it to stably process information from a camera in real time. If it can confirm the need for sleep in artificial brains, we can probably expect the same to be true of human-like robots and other intelligent machines that may come about in the future. 8. What did Watkins and her research team find? A. Neural networks are far from stable. B. Artificial brains may need break as well. C. Neural networks are very sensitive to noise. D. Human-like robots need equal rest to humans. 9. What does the underlined word “analogous” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Contrary. B. Beneficial. C. Similar. D. Related. 10. Why will the researchers apply the algorithm to Loihi? A. To better update Loihi. B. To enable Loihi to run faster. C. To further confirm their discovery. D. To make sure Loihi get enough sleep. 11. In which section can we probably find this article? A. Mind & Brain. B. Business & Industry. C. Medicine & Care. D. Computer & Science. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的一项最新研究表明，机器人运行一段时间后也需要一段时间的休息，这种休息带来的好处与睡眠给人类带来的好处类似。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“No one can say whether human-like robots will have a sweet dream, but they will almost certainly need periods of rest that offer benefits like what sleep provides to living brains, according to new research from Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL).(洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室的一项最新研究表明，没有人能说类人机器人是否会做一个甜美的梦，但它们几乎肯定需要休息一段时间，这种休息带来的好处与睡眠给人类带来的好处类似)”以及第二段“Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning.(沃特金斯和她的研究团队发现，在连续的无人值守学习后，网络模拟变得不稳定)”可知，沃特金斯和她的研究团队发现人造大脑可能也需要休息。故选B项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Watkins and her research team found that the network simulations became unstable after continuous periods of unattended learning.

However, efforts by environmentalists to encourage consumers to switch to alternatives, like water fountains or reusable bottles, have not been very effective. The U.S. alone uses over 50 million plastic bottles annually, 80% of which end up in landfills. To try to stop that, Rodrigo García González, Pierre Paslier and Guillaume Couche from the Imperial College London have been working on a revolutionary solution — water wrapped inside an eatable container made mostly from seaweed. All the customer has to do to relieve his/her thirst is pop the entire drop into the mouth. The inventors, who have been working on the Ooho bubble since 2014, use a simple two-step cooking process called spherification (球化) to create the delicate container. They begin by dipping a frozen ball of water or juice into a chemical solution (溶液). This helps form a layer around the liquid. The ball is then absorbed in a solution made from seaweed extract. This creates a second layer, helping strengthen the structure so that the water or juice does not leak. In addition to saving our environment, the biodegradable (可降解的) packaging costs just two cents each, making it cheaper to produce than plastic. After three years of perfecting the design, the inventors, who recently raised over 1 million USD from a financial activity, are ready to bring the Ooho bubble to local market. However, there are a few challenges that still need to be overcome before the product’s launch. In addition to getting accustomed to the taste of the covering, each eatable container contains just a mouthful of water, requiring consumers to drink multiple bubbles to relieve their thirst. There is also the issue of finding an eco-friendly packaging to transport the bubbles so that they remain clean and do not burst. Hopefully, the inventors will find ways to handle the issues so that we can reduce, or perhaps even remove, plastic bottles. 12. Why was the Ooho bubble created? A. To test a newly-designed material. B. To change consumers’ drinking habit. C. To reduce pollution caused by plastic. D. To take a share of drinking water industry. 13. What will the inventors probably do next? A. Solve some specific problems of the product. B. Collect more money to expand production. C. Distribute the Ooho bubble to global market. D. Advertise the advantages of the Ooho bubble. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the Ooho bubble’s launch? A. Uncaring. B. Doubtful. C. Confident. D. Opposed. 15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Scientists Work out a New Kind of Water B. Plastic Bottles Will Be Replaced by the Ooho Bubble C. Environmental Pollution is Expected to Be Solved D. The Ooho Bubble Aims to Remove Plastic Bottles 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了新型饮用水Ooho bubble的产生背景、研发过程以及投放市场前所做的准备等情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“It is a well-known fact that plastic bottles, which take hundreds of years to rot, are harmful to our environment.(众所周知，塑料瓶要几百年才能腐烂，对我们的环境有害。)”以及“The U.S. alone uses over 50 million plastic bottles annually, 80% of which end up in landfills.(仅美国每年就使用超过5000万个塑料瓶，其中80%最终被扔进了垃圾填埋场。)”可知，Ooho bubble被研发出来的目的是为了结局塑料造成的污染问题。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“However, there are a few challenges that still need to be overcome before the product’s launch. (然而，在产品发布之前还有一些挑战需要克服。)”可知，Ooho bubble研发者在接下来会解决产品存在的具体问题。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Hopefully, the inventors will find ways to handle the issues so that we can reduce, or perhaps even remove, plastic bottles.(希望发明者能找到解决问题的方法，这样我们就能减少，甚至移除塑料瓶。)”可知，作者对Ooho bubble投放市场是充满信心的。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，本文主要介绍了新型饮用水Ooho bubble的产生背景、研发过程以及投放市场前所做的准备等情况。同时文章也指出，研发这种饮用水的目的是为了解决塑料水瓶带来的污染问题。故D选项“The Ooho Bubble Aims to Remove Plastic Bottles(“Ooho泡泡”旨在去除塑料瓶)”能够概括文章大意。故选D。 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2.5分，共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。 In our fast-speed lives, celebrations are far from just about having fun. ____16____.

I was waiting at the airport for my flight to New York. With several long hours before the flight, I hunted for a novel in the airport shops, bought a bag of cookies at the checkout counter and comfortably found a place to drop. Several minutes later, I was absorbed in my book and didn’t notice somebody settled beside me. I continued to read and contented myself with my chocolate-chip cookies, but at this moment, I saw that the man sitting beside me, as bold (胆大的) as he could be, grabbed a cookie or two from the bag in between! I was silently shocked and angry: “What?!” He looked decent and nothing like poor. Unbelievable as his rude act was, I tried to ignore it to avoid a scene. So I munched the cookies and watched the clock, as the cookie thief cut down my stock. I was getting more annoyed as the minutes ticked by, thinking, “If I weren’t so nice, I would blacken his eye.” With each cookie I took, he took one too. The moment came when there was only one cookie left in the bag, I just glared at him and wondered what he would do. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie and broke it in half. He offered me half, as he ate the other. I grabbed it from him and thought: “Oh, brother! This guy has some nerve and he’s also rude! He didn’t even show any gratitude!” I finally sighed with relief when my flight was called. Gathering my belongings and heading to the gate, I couldn’t bear to look at the thief again! After boarding the plane and sinking in my seat, I sought my book, which was almost complete. As I reached in my baggage, I was astonished! There was my almost-full bag of cookies, in front of my eyes! 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。 “If mine are here,” I cried in silent despair, “the others were his!” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I was waiting to claim my luggage a familiar figure caught my eye-the “cookie thief”! ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“If mine are here,” I cried in silent despair, “the others were his!” I was the thief! It was I who rudely took a stranger’s food without permission. The stranger, on the other hand, treated me with nothing but kindness and generosity. I was so ashamed of myself that I could feel my face burning. How could I be so mean and arrogant! For the whole flight I was scolding myself for being the ungrateful impolite cookie thief! The plane eventually landed in New York as I was still beating myself up. When I was waiting to claim my luggage, a familiar figure caught my eye — the “cookie thief”! It turned out we were on the same flight. I got up the courage to walk to him. “Hi! I want to thank...” “It’s OK.” He cut in, “Just some cookies. I mean, nice to meet you. I’m Jason.” With an embarrassed smile, I explained what had happened and how I should apologize, not only for my stupid behavior but also for my even more stupid thoughts. Jason chuckled heartily and said, “Don’t you worry! Now you have more cookies and a new friend as well!” I continued, “Thanks for the cookies, and particularly for this lesson about kindness.” He replied with a smile, “The pleasure is all mine. Now do you need a hand with your luggage?” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一个雨夜在机场等候飞往纽约的航班，作者边吃饼干边看小说，突然作者看到旁边的一个人从作者和那人之间的一个袋子里拿饼干吃，作者觉得那个人很粗鲁，但是因为好心，所以忍了，那人看见作者在看着他，在吃最后一块饼干的时候还分给作者一半，作者上了飞机以后却发现自己的饼干还在，几乎是满的。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““如果我的在这里，”我绝望地无声地喊道，“其他的都是他的！””可知，第一段可描写作者发现是自己吃了人家的饼干后的心理活动。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我在等行李的时候，一个熟悉的身影映入我的眼帘——“偷饼干的贼”！”可知，第二段可描写作者向那个人表示感谢并道歉。 2.续写线索：意识到是自己吃了人家的饼干——感到羞愧——责备自己——航班降落——作者感谢那个人——作者道歉——那个人原谅作者 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①责备：scold/blame ②鼓起勇气：get up the courage/take heart of grace ③道歉：apologize/make an apology 情绪类 ①羞愧的：ashamed/compunctious ②尴尬：embarrassed/abashed 【点睛】[高分句型1] It was I who rudely took a stranger’s food without permission.
