德阳天立高级中学高2022级高三上九月月考 英语试卷 第I卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节(共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Plan My Gap Year (PMGY) is an award-winning international volunteer placement organisation based in the UK. We provide safe, affordable, need-driven volunteer programmes from 1 to 24 weeks in 11 countries worldwide. Bali Childcare Volunteers 2 — 8 weeks, age 17+ Stay in the “rice bowl” of Bali in the traditional town of Tabanan and give the most precious thing of all, your time, to local children eager to learn! Participants generally volunteer from Monday to Thursday and the weekends are free to relax or travel further afield. Nepal English Teaching Volunteers 2 — 20 weeks, age 18+ It is very important that children receive a formal education. It is not totally uncommon for them to leave the traditional environment when they get older. Therefore, it is important for them to learn English in order to boost their career prospects. On arrival, the children will be keen and excited to meet you, but some will also be shy during your first few days at the learning center! Thailand Elephant Sanctuary Volunteers 1 — 4 weeks, age 18+ If you wish to volunteer ethically with elephants, and wish to know more about them, the Thailand Elephant Project is the place to volunteer. The large elephant enclosures (围场), up to 5 hectares each, with natural trees, lakes and grazing areas, allow the elephants to move around and socialise with other elephants. No elephant is ever chained up, day or night. Real Asia Encounter 6 — 12 weeks, age 18+ Real Asia Encounter takes in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. We seriously can’t think of a more wonderful combination of exotic (异国风味) and fascinating gap year destinations in Asia to volunteer in. Action-packed 6, 9 or 12 weeks lie ahead of you in some of the best places to volunteer abroad! 1. What does the programme in Nepal feature? A. It serves children with English teaching. B.

Six weeks. B It was 1963 in the Toronto suburb. I was eight years old and hockey (冰球) -crazy. My next-to-zero skills had not stopped my passion for the game. The players of the great hockey club Toronto Maple Leafs were of course my heroes, and their posters and photos covered the walls of my room. There is always some price to pay for maintaining a love. I raised funds in an old-fashioned way, selling something the public could actually sink their teeth into. I joined the local annual event — Margaret’s Doughnuts (甜甜圈) to sell doughnuts, which offered choices of honey-glazed or chocolate-glazed. Door-to-door I went, notebook in hand to record. I sold dozens of dozens; hardly a soul turned me down. My notebook was almost full, and my stomach was almost empty when I went up the last house on the south side. I rang the doorbell and went over my speech while staring at the screen door. Suddenly, the door opened. My unforgettable memory was looking up from a large pair of fuzzy slippers, way up, to the face staring down. I stood there speechless for what seemed 10 years, opening and closing my mouth like a fish out of water. Collecting my calmness, but still unable to go into doughnut-promoting overdrive, I told him something he seemed have already known and he replied with a nod and a smile. I have an unclear memory of murmuring through my speech “Please-buy-some-doughnuts”, and then a vivid memory of him taking the notebook from my hand. I followed with new information — that we shared our given name. With pride from our first-name-basis farewells, I flew home holding the notebook tightly to my chest. The next morning before the school bell, I cautiously showed off the precious paper. It is surely mine alone to claim: I sold a dozen doughnuts to Tim Horton, one of my most respected players who lived a mere three blocks away! 4. What can we know about the author? A. He obtained posters and photos from a star team. B. He joined Toronto Maple Leafs as a young child. C. He was not much of an experienced hockey player. D. His love for hockey was influenced by a star team. 5. Why did the author sell doughnuts? A. To follow the fashion. B. To respond to an event. C. To taste more flavors. D. To pursue his hobby. 6. What happened to the author when he met the owner of the last house? A. He was so speechless with astonishment. B. He was looked down upon by the owner. C. He was scared by the owner’s appearance. D. He forgot his speech for selling doughnuts. 7. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. A Successful Sale Promotion Of Doughnuts B. An Amazing Journey To Following My Dream C. A Grateful Doughnut Helping Awaken My Dream D. An Unexpected Meeting With My Favorite Hockey C Do you love Beats headphones, True Religion jeans, and UGG shoes? These are some of the most popular brands (牌子) around. They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands. For example, Jim Wilcox works for Consumer Reports. He tested all kinds of headphones. He says that $80 Koss Pro headphones provide basically the same quality and comfort as Beats. So why do people pay twice or even 10 times as much for the hottest brands? Experts say it’s because fashionable, expensive brands send a message. Brands say “I belong” or “I can afford it.” Some people think that expensive brand names are worth the price. They say that some designer clothes really are top quality and that they last longer than cheaper brands. Some teenagers choose to wear popular brands because these brands make them feel good about themselves. Alexandra Allam, 17, likes to buy brand-name products. “I’d rather spend the extra money to get something I know I’ll be satisfied with,” she says. Her friend Emmy Swan agrees, saying “As long as you can afford it, it seems reasonable to buy what you want.” But not all teenagers agree. “Spending hundreds of dollars for designer sunglasses is stupid and unreasonable,” says Daniel Steinbrecher, 16. “It’s fake (假的) happiness.” People who are against wearing expensive brand names say that many designer brands aren’t any better. “It’s wasteful to buy things just because they are popular,” says Edmund Williams, 15. “You’ll feel better if you buy things because you like them. If you have extra money to spend, it would be better to give it to people in need.” 8. The example of Jim’s report wants to tell us _____. A. popular brands make people comfortable B. Koss Pro headphones are better than Beats C. the hottest brands are of the highest quality D. lesser-known brands may offer the same quality as name brands 9. According to experts, people choose the hottest brands probably _____. A. to show off B. for their better quality C. for their better designs D. to belong to a special group 10. What does Edmund think of expensive brands? A. They are not worth the price. B. They make him feel confident. C. They need to improve their quality. D. They pay too much attention to personal likes. 11. The text is mainly about _____. A. how to buy things reasonably B. the competition between brands C. the different values of teenagers D. whether expensive brands are worth high prices D As is the fate of anyone running a hotel in Kerala these days, Bijoy George is a man with too much to do. Before pandemic-caused lockdowns began in 2020, he managed 40 employees at the Eighth Bastion Hotel in the charming historic quarter of Kochi, a bustling coastal city. Now that business is back to pre-covid levels he needs the same number of staff again. But he has only 20 workers. His plight is shared with every other hotel, café and bar. It is a result of the state’s hospitality (招待) employees moving all together in large numbers to Qatar, not to watch football but to take up employment tied to the World Cup. As the start of the competition approaches on November 20th, workers are quitting at a rate Mr. George says he has never seen in his 22 years in the business. Qatar, a country with a population of under 3m, will have welcomed more than 1.5m visitors before the matches conclude on December 18th. That means finding staff to run all the new hotels that have been built along with other venues that have been pressed into service to profit from the sports fans. Kerala has long been a significant source of hospitality workers for Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries. Its state government provides good schools with English-language instruction but few jobs. More than 2m people, 17% of its working population, already work overseas, largely in the Gulf. The appeal of Qatar is straightforward. Starting salaries approach $1,000 a month, more than six times the level for similar jobs in Kerala. To replace those who have left, Kerala’s employers have been casting their nets wider. Recruiters have been extending their searches to many other Indian cities. But that means the most common word on name-tags pinned to the breast pockets of workers is “trainee”. Among the many skills that need to be taught, says Mr. George, is smiling at customers — the failure to do so a result of shyness among those new to the workforce. The danger is that after a week or so when confidence grows, even these employees may slip away to the Gulf. Most contracts run for three months, concluding at the end of December, not long after the World Cup final. Returning workers will be welcomed back with open arms. Filling the gaps is even more important as Indian tourism and weddings have restarted. The reunions, though, may be short-lived. The game these workers will have learned from the World Cup is how to be paid better. That means leaving India. 12. The underlined sentence in paragraph one implies that __________. A. other hotels, cafes and bars will share Bijoy’s 20 employees B. other hotels, cafes and bars will have to lay off some workers C. other hotels, cafes and bars also send the workers to Qatar D. other hotels, cafes and bars also find it hard to employ enough workers 13. Which of the following DOESN’T contribute to hospitality workers in Kerala taking up jobs in Qatar? A. Millions of tourists have to be served during the World Cup. B Hospitality workers are in high demand with new hotels and venues open for business in Qatar. C Qatar provides good education and English training for potential workers in Kerala. D. The salaries of similar jobs in Kerala are much lower than those in Qatar. 14. Which of the following difficulties do Kerala’s employers face due to lack of workers? A. Kerala’s employers have to take on new employees in Asian cities. B. Many of the new employees will pin their name tags to their breast pockets. C. The new employees will not greet the customers as a result of shyness. D. The new employees may soon follow the trend of going to the Gulf. 15. What makes the reunions between Indian workers and employers probably a short-lived one? A. Jobs outside India can provide Indian workers with a more decent life. B. It will soon be the off season for Indian tourism and weddings. C. Another grand occasion will soon begin in the Gulf. D. The workers only sign short-term contracts with the employers in India. 第二节(共5小题：每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) Lifelong Learning is Good for You It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education. Fortunately, many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. ____16____ The following points are reasons why you should stick to lifelong learning. ____17____ In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor’s degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree. In 2014 a report said that 50% of jobs would become unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development.

Do they make insightful speeches on the topics they know best? ____18____ Those you admire most are those who seem most devoted to learning and personal growth. Our ability to learn is a keystone of human motivation. Have you ever sat in a quiet place and finished a great novel? Do you remember the feeling of accomplishment when you solve a challenging task? Have you managed to conduct difficult experiments or create something new? Education may not always have influence on wealth, health or career. ____19____ There are many reasons why we should continue learning. Lifelong learning isn’t just an economic necessity but a physical, emotional, and social one. ____20____ Once you catch them, you will get one of the most rewarding things in your life. A. We live in an age full of opportunities for learning. B. Educational input determines your competitiveness. C. Educational level influences your work performance. D. Do you keep on lifelong learning and improving? E. Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic? F. But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities of everyone. G.

I had been considering the decision for some time, but hadn’t discussed it with anyone. As an English Language Arts teacher in my fourth year, I had to leave my beloved profession. I kept praying for a sign to stay, but my father was very ill and needed someone to take care of him. Although many students liked my class and I had received hundreds of letters from former students appreciating my influence on their lives, I still made this difficult decision. It was nearing the end of what I had come to think of as my last year. A senior named Lyric, who was my assistant, asked if I could meet him and another student named Ari for dinner to discuss how to prepare for college. I agreed but didn’t think anything of it. It was on a Saturday evening and my schedule for that day was already packed. I attended an academic conference that morning and then spent the next four hours at the boys’ basketball game where I was the assistant coach of the school team. By the time the game ended I had about an hour to get to the dinner. I was so tired that I almost called Lyric to re-schedule. But I had promised, so I got in my car and headed to the restaurant. As I was walking up to the restaurant, I saw Lyric, Ari, and Sal, another former student, all dressed up. I asked Lyric, “Why are you guys so dressed up?” He responded, “Follow us and you’ll see. “The three of them led me to the outside patio (露台) where there was a long table full of some forty students. They had decorated the patio with fairy lights and flowers, and the table was adorned (装饰) with a beautiful tablecloth and candles. They had even prepared my favorite dishes and drinks! 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。 Paragraph1 When they saw me, they all stood up and started clapping. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2 A week later, I was voted Teacher of the Year. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 德阳天立高级中学高2022级高三上九月月考 英语试卷 第I卷（选择题） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节(共15小题；每小题2. 5分，满分37. 5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Plan My Gap Year (PMGY) is an award-winning international volunteer placement organisation based in the UK.

Brands say ‘I belong’ or ‘I can afford it.’”(专家表示，这是因为时尚、昂贵的品牌传递了一种信息。品牌会说“我属于”或“我买得起”)”可推知，人们选择最热门的品牌是为了表明自己的与众不同，出于炫耀心理，故选A。 【10题详解】 推理推断题。根据最后一段Edmund所说“It’s wasteful to buy things just because they are popular, (仅仅因为某样东西流行就去买是一种浪费)” 可推知，Edmund认为昂贵品牌并不值那个价，故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第一段提出本文要谈论话题“They are also expensive. But some experts say they are not much better than cheaper brands.(它们也很贵。但一些专家表示，它们并不比便宜的品牌好多少)”，随后文章从正反两面对此进行了讨论，由此推知，文章主要是讨论了昂贵的品牌到底值不值这一话题。故选D。 D As is the fate of anyone running a hotel in Kerala these days, Bijoy George is a man with too much to do. Before pandemic-caused lockdowns began in 2020, he managed 40 employees at the Eighth Bastion Hotel in the charming historic quarter of Kochi, a bustling coastal city. Now that business is back to pre-covid levels he needs the same number of staff again. But he has only 20 workers. His plight is shared with every other hotel, café and bar. It is a result of the state’s hospitality (招待) employees moving all together in large numbers to Qatar, not to watch football but to take up employment tied to the World Cup. As the start of the competition approaches on November 20th, workers are quitting at a rate Mr. George says he has never seen in his 22 years in the business. Qatar, a country with a population of under 3m, will have welcomed more than 1.5m visitors before the matches conclude on December 18th. That means finding staff to run all the new hotels that have been built along with other venues that have been pressed into service to profit from the sports fans. Kerala has long been a significant source of hospitality workers for Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries. Its state government provides good schools with English-language instruction but few jobs. More than 2m people, 17% of its working population, already work overseas, largely in the Gulf. The appeal of Qatar is straightforward. Starting salaries approach $1,000 a month, more than six times the level for similar jobs in Kerala. To replace those who have left, Kerala’s employers have been casting their nets wider. Recruiters have been extending their searches to many other Indian cities. But that means the most common word on name-tags pinned to the breast pockets of workers is “trainee”. Among the many skills that need to be taught, says Mr. George, is smiling at customers — the failure to do so a result of shyness among those new to the workforce. The danger is that after a week or so when confidence grows, even these employees may slip away to the Gulf. Most contracts run for three months, concluding at the end of December, not long after the World Cup final. Returning workers will be welcomed back with open arms. Filling the gaps is even more important as Indian tourism and weddings have restarted. The reunions, though, may be short-lived. The game these workers will have learned from the World Cup is how to be paid better. That means leaving India. 12. The underlined sentence in paragraph one implies that __________. A. other hotels, cafes and bars will share Bijoy’s 20 employees B. other hotels, cafes and bars will have to lay off some workers C. other hotels, cafes and bars also send the workers to Qatar D. other hotels, cafes and bars also find it hard to employ enough workers 13. Which of the following DOESN’T contribute to hospitality workers in Kerala taking up jobs in Qatar? A. Millions of tourists have to be served during the World Cup. B. Hospitality workers are in high demand with new hotels and venues open for business in Qatar. C. Qatar provides good education and English training for potential workers in Kerala. D. The salaries of similar jobs in Kerala are much lower than those in Qatar. 14. Which of the following difficulties do Kerala’s employers face due to lack of workers? A. Kerala’s employers have to take on new employees in Asian cities. B. Many of the new employees will pin their name tags to their breast pockets. C. The new employees will not greet the customers as a result of shyness. D. The new employees may soon follow the trend of going to the Gulf. 15. What makes the reunions between Indian workers and employers probably a short-lived one? A. Jobs outside India can provide Indian workers with a more decent life. B. It will soon be the off season for Indian tourism and weddings. C. Another grand occasion will soon begin in the Gulf. D. The workers only sign short-term contracts with the employers in India. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了，疫情结束后，喀拉拉邦酒店营业恢复到疫情前水平，需要疫情前同样数量的员工，但由于该地区酒店业员工大量搬到卡塔尔的结果（为了从事与世界杯相关的工作），难以招到人手，喀拉拉邦采取措施，招聘短期合同工以满足卡塔尔世界杯期间的工作需求。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。由第一段中的“Now that business is back to pre-covid levels he needs the same number of staff again. But he has only 20 workers. His plight is shared with every other hotel, café and bar. It is a result of the state’s hospitality (招待) employees moving all together in large numbers to Qatar, not to watch football but to take up employment tied to the World Cup. (现在业务已经恢复到新冠疫情前的水平，他再次需要同样数量的员工。但他只有20名工人。His plight is shared with every other hotel, café and bar. 这是该州酒店业员工大量搬到卡塔尔的结果，他们不是为了看足球，而是为了从事与世界杯相关的工作)”可知，疫情结束后，喀拉拉邦酒店营业恢复到疫情前水平，需要疫情前同样数量的员工，但由于该地区酒店业员工大量搬到卡塔尔的结果（为了从事与世界杯相关的工作），Bijoy George经营的酒店和其它酒店等机构难以招到人手，画线句意为“其他酒店、咖啡馆和酒吧也发现很难雇佣足够的员工”。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。由第二段中的“Qatar, a country with a population of under 3m, will have welcomed more than 1.5m visitors before the matches conclude on December 18th. That means finding staff to run all the new hotels that have been built along with other venues that have been pressed into service to profit from the sports fans. (卡塔尔是一个人口不到300万的国家，在12月18日世界杯比赛结束前，卡塔尔将迎来150多万游客。这意味着要找到员工来管理所有新建的酒店，以及其他被迫投入服务以从体育迷那里获利的场馆)”，和第四段中的“The appeal of Qatar is straightforward. Starting salaries approach $1,000 a month, more than six times the level for similar jobs in Kerala. (卡塔尔的吸引力显而易见。起薪接近每月1000美元，是喀拉拉邦类似工作水平的六倍多)”可知，“世界杯期间要接待数以百万计的游客”，“随着卡塔尔新酒店和场所的开业，酒店员工的需求量很大”和“喀拉拉邦类似工作的薪低于卡塔尔”对喀拉拉邦的酒店员工在卡塔尔工作有帮助，C项“卡塔尔为喀拉拉邦的潜在工人提供良好的教育和英语培训”表述有误，对其无帮助。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“The danger is that after a week or so when confidence grows, even these employees may slip away to the Gulf. (危险在于，一周左右后，当信心增强时，即使是这些员工也可能前往海湾地区)”可知，喀拉拉邦的雇主雇佣其它印度城市的员工，把他们培训好后，这些新员工可能很快就会追随去海湾地区工作的潮流。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。由最后一段中的“The reunions, though, may be short-lived. The game these workers will have learned from the World Cup is how to be paid better. That means leaving India. (不过，重聚可能是短暂的。这些工人将从世界杯中学到的技巧是如何获得更好的报酬。这意味着要离开印度)”可知，印度以外的工作可以为印度工人提供更好的报酬、更体面的生活，所以印度工人会离开印度，他们和雇主之间的团聚可能是短暂的。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题：每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分) Lifelong Learning is Good for You It is impossible for everyone to have access to additional formal education. Fortunately, many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. ____16____ The following points are reasons why you should stick to lifelong learning. ____17____ In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor’s degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree. In 2014 a report said that 50% of jobs would become unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development. New technology changes the nature of work and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes. Open-mindedness and curiosity are beneficial to your career. People who enjoy learning are more active at work than those who don’t. Now think of the most admirable colleagues you know. Do they tend to be knowledgeable about almost any topic of interest? Do they make insightful speeches on the topics they know best? ____18____ Those you admire most are those who seem most devoted to learning and personal growth. Our ability to learn is a keystone of human motivation. Have you ever sat in a quiet place and finished a great novel? Do you remember the feeling of accomplishment when you solve a challenging task? Have you managed to conduct difficult experiments or create something new? Education may not always have influence on wealth, health or career. ____19____ There are many reasons why we should continue learning. Lifelong learning isn’t just an economic necessity but a physical, emotional, and social one. ____20____ Once you catch them, you will get one of the most rewarding things in your life. A. We live in an age full of opportunities for learning. B. Educational input determines your competitiveness. C. Educational level influences your work performance. D. Do you keep on lifelong learning and improving? E. Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic? F. But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities of everyone. G. For example, books, online courses, Moocs, AI and so on are available. 【答案】16. G 17. B 18. E 19. F 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了我们应该坚持终身学习的一些理由。 【16题详解】 前文“Fortunately, many educational resources have made it easier for people to develop a habit of lifelong learning. (幸运的是，许多教育资源使人们更容易养成终身学习的习惯)”提到帮助人们终身学习的教育资源有很多，因此G项“For example, books, online courses, Moocs, AI and so on are available. (例如，书籍、在线课程、慕课、人工智能等都是可用的)”符合语境，对教育资源进行举例，承接前文。故选G。 【17题详解】 根据后文“In 2015 some researchers found people with a bachelor’s degree can earn much more than those just with a high school degree. In 2014 a report said that 50% of jobs would become unnecessary by 2025 due to technological development. New technology changes the nature of work and we need continuous learning and personal growth to adapt ourselves to the changes. (2015年，一些研究人员发现，拥有学士学位的人比只有高中学历的人赚得更多。2014年的一份报告称，到2025年，由于技术的发展，50%的工作岗位将变得不必要。新技术改变了工作的性质，我们需要不断学习和个人成长来适应这些变化)”可知，本段主要介绍教育对工作收入的影响，建议通过学习和成长适应工作上的变化，空处位于段首，是段落主旨句，应该与教育对工作的影响相关，因此B项“Educational input determines your competitiveness. (教育投入决定你的竞争力)”符合语境，契合段落内容。故选B。 【18题详解】 前文“Now think of the most admirable colleagues you know. Do they tend to be knowledgeable about almost any topic of interest? Do they make insightful speeches on the topics they know best? (现在想想你认识的最令人钦佩的同事。他们是否对几乎所有感兴趣的话题都很了解？他们是否会就自己最了解的话题发表深刻的演讲)”提到去想最令人钦佩的同事，以问题的形式介绍他们身上的特质，因此E项“Do they seem open-minded and intellectually energetic? (他们看起来思想开放，智力活跃吗？)”符合语境，同样是疑问句，和前面两个问题是并列关系，且其中的open-minded呼应段首句中的Open-mindedness。故选E。 【19题详解】 前文“Education may not always have influence on wealth, health or career. (教育可能并不总是对财富、健康或职业有影响)”提到教育有可能不会有助于财富、健康或职业，因此F项“But it would obviously contribute to the special qualities of everyone. (但它显然有助于培养每个人的特殊品质)”符合语境，和前文构成转折，其中的it指代前文的Education。故选F。 【20题详解】 后文“Once you catch them, you will get one of the most rewarding things in your life. (一旦你抓住了它们，你就会得到生命中最有价值的东西之一)”提到抓住某件事物带来的好处，因此A项“We live in an age full of opportunities for learning. (我们生活在一个充满学习机会的时代)”符合语境，引出后文，其中的opportunities for learning是后文them所指代的对象。故选A。 第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空(共 15 小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） Every afternoon for the past 11 years, AI Merritt, 83 years old, has been a reliable and cheery presence in his southeast Carlsbad neighbourhood, California.

I had been considering the decision for some time, but hadn’t discussed it with anyone. As an English Language Arts teacher in my fourth year, I had to leave my beloved profession. I kept praying for a sign to stay, but my father was very ill and needed someone to take care of him. Although many students liked my class and I had received hundreds of letters from former students appreciating my influence on their lives, I still made this difficult decision. It was nearing the end of what I had come to think of as my last year. A senior named Lyric, who was my assistant, asked if I could meet him and another student named Ari for dinner to discuss how to prepare for college. I agreed but didn’t think anything of it. It was on a Saturday evening and my schedule for that day was already packed. I attended an academic conference that morning and then spent the next four hours at the boys’ basketball game where I was the assistant coach of the school team. By the time the game ended, I had about an hour to get to the dinner. I was so tired that I almost called Lyric to re-schedule. But I had promised, so I got in my car and headed to the restaurant. As I was walking up to the restaurant, I saw Lyric, Ari, and Sal, another former student, all dressed up. I asked Lyric, “Why are you guys so dressed up?” He responded, “Follow us and you’ll see. “The three of them led me to the outside patio (露台) where there was a long table full of some forty students. They had decorated the patio with fairy lights and flowers, and the table was adorned (装饰) with a beautiful tablecloth and candles. They had even prepared my favorite dishes and drinks! 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。 Paragraph1 When they saw me, they all stood up and started clapping. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph2 A week later, I was voted Teacher of the Year. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When they saw me, they all stood up and started clapping. Each one of them prepared a gift for me and hugged me, thanking me for what I had done for them and expressing their love to me. I was overwhelmed with emotions, holding back tears. More than the physical gifts they all gave me, the most valuable gift they collectively gave me that night at the dinner table was making me feel like I mattered. They had no idea just how much this meal meant to me. A week later, I was voted Teacher of the Year. When I stood on the stage to receive the award, my colleagues and students applauded me. As the applause died down, I took a deep breath and delivered a speech. “Thank you all so much for this honor. I’m truly grateful. And I have to say that my students inspire me every day and I decide to stay with them all the time.” The hall erupted in cheers and applause again. I smiled, feeling a sense of warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一个英语语言艺术教师因父亲病重而不得不离开心爱的职业的困扰。在她最后一年任教期间，学生为她举办了一场惊喜晚餐，表达了对她的感激和爱。这个晚餐让她感到自己很重要。一周后，她被选为年度最佳教师，并在颁奖典礼上发表了感言，表示决定继续留在学生们身边的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当他们看到我，他们都站起来，开始鼓掌。”可知，第一段可描写学生为我准备礼物和我拥抱在一起，感谢我为他们的付出，我感动得落泪，觉得没有什么礼物比让我觉得自己是重要的更珍贵的相关细节。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，我被选为年度教师。”可知，第二段可描写我领奖时同事和同学们都为我鼓掌，我发表演讲，感谢学生每天的激励，我决定一直和他们在一起，人群再次爆发出欢呼声和掌声的过程及相关细节。 2.续写线索：准备礼物并拥抱——感谢我并表达对我的爱——我很激动——觉得自己很重要——被选为年度教师——领奖——大家为我鼓掌——我发表演讲——我决定和他们在一起——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拥抱：hug/embrace ②决定做某事：decide to do/make up one’s mind to do/determine to do ③发表演讲：deliver a speech/address a speech 情绪类 ①笑：smile/break into a smile/burst into laughter ②不知所措：be overwhelmed/be at a loss ③感谢：be truly grateful/express one’s sincere gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] Each one of them prepared a gift for me and hugged me, thanking me for what I had done for them and expressing their love to me.
