In Dengfeng today, ten kilometers from the Shaolin Temple, there are over 60 martial arts schools with more than 50,000 students. They come to the schools for a variety of reasons.The majority hope to become movie stars. Some come to learn skills that will ensure good jobs in the military or police force. A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work. Master Hu Zhengsheng teaches at a small school in Dengfeng. Recently, he was offered an important role in a kung fu movie. It would have been good publicity for his school, but he did not accept. He doesn’t agree with how kung fu is often shown in movies. Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics (杂技) and kickboxing, Hu teaches his students time-honored kung fu forms — passed down through generations of masters and steeped in centuries-old martial arts heritage. But attracting new students to this style of kung fu has become a problem. Hu’s afraid his art will soon die out. He has to remind his students that kung fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain. “There are no high kicks or acrobatics here,” he says. “It is hard to convince boys to spend many years learning something that won’t make them wealthy or famous.” Hu’s students sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no matter what the temperature is. They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns sitting on each other’s shoulders to build leg strength. To master kung fu, they must learn respect, and how to “eat bitterness”, a Mandarin expression meaning to “enduring suffering”. The life of a Shaolin master, Hu believes, is not easy or attractive. Master Hu is in a difficult position. For old traditions to survive, the young must learn. Gradually, he has begun offering a few courses in kickboxing and the acrobatic kung fu forms,hoping to attract new students. Then, maybe, he’ ll be able to convince them to learn Shaolin kung fu the traditional way. 4. Why do most students attend martial arts schools in Dengfeng? A. To gain self-discipline. B. To pursue opportunities in film. C. To obtain military or police jobs. D. To learn self-defense skills. 5. What is special about Master Hu’s teaching? A. He prepares students for movie roles. B. He teaches acrobatics and kickboxing. C. He focuses on traditional kung fu styles. D. He emphasizes entertainment in Kung fu. 6. What can be inferred about Master Hu’s view on the life of a Shaolin master? A. It focuses on well-being. B. It is suitable for young boys only. C. It is filled with fame and fortune. D. It requires great perseverance. 7. What’s Hu’s attitude towards the future of kung fu? A. Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Reserved. C A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigments but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’ re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint resists heat absorption and instead casts light back outward.That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 8. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The blue of crystals. B. The orange of bright rainbows. C. The purple of ripe grapes. D. The green of peacocks’ feathers. 9. What does the underlined word“toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A Beneficial. B. Priceless. C. Artificial. D. Harmful. 10. Why might structural paint be especially useful in warm climate? A. It reflects light. B. It absorbs heat. C. It changes color. D. It resists water. 11. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To criticize heavy metals use in art. B. To present a new eco-friendly paint. C. To advocate more colorful paintings. D. To explain rainbow formation principles. D If you fall off a bike, you’ll probably end up with a cinematic memory of the experience; the wind in your hair, the rock on the road, and then the pain. That’s known as an episodic (片段式的) memory. Now researchers have discovered cells that make this sort of memory possible. The cells are called time cells, and they place a sort of time stamp on memories as they are being formed. That allows us to recall experiences in the right order. Dr. Bradley Lega and his team found the time cells by studying the brains of 27 people who were waiting for operations to treat their serious diseases. As part of their pre-operation preparation, these patients had detectors placed in the hippocampus (海马体), a key brain region for memory. In the experiment, the patients studied orders of 12 or 15 words that appeared on a screen during a period of about 30 seconds. Then, after a break, they were asked to write down the words they had seen in the right order. Meanwhile, the researchers were measuring the activity of individual brain cells. And they found a small number that would fire at specific times during each series of words. These time stamps seemed to help people remember when they had seen each word, and in what order. And the brain probably uses the same approach when we’re reliving an experience like falling off a bike. The results help explain why people who have damage to the hippocampus may experience memory problems. Their neural systems lack the specialized cells that act as internal timekeepers for memories. Without these crucial time-stamping cells, the brain loses its ability to mark when each part of an experience occurs and how they connect in sequence. This absence leaves memories fragmented, making it nearly impossible to piece together the full story of past events in the correct order. But even though time cells are very important for episodic memory, Lega says, they really aren’t like clocks, which run at a steady pace. Instead, time cells are speeding up or slowing down from time to time, depending on factors like mood and the intensity of the experience. 12. What’s the function of time cells? A. Arranging memories in time order. B. Creating vivid cinematic memories. C. Recording physical pain during an accident. D. Defining episodic memory scientifically. 13. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. A treatment for brain diseases. B. A memory exercise technique. C. The study discovering time cells. D. The detectors in the hippocampus. 14. Why do people with a damaged hippocampus experience memory problems? A. Their attention can’t be focused. B. Their time cells in the brain are impaired. C. Their episodic memories are overactive. D. Their brains can’t store new information. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Memory Research: A Long-term Project B. Time Cells: The Key to Episodic Memory C. Hippocampus: The Place for Memory Storage D. Episodic Memory: A Common Experience Memory 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。 Health Benefits of Watermelon Apart from a juicy and refreshing fruit, watermelon has diverse benefits to its credit.

Cold snow was falling as Emily walked slowly home from school. She really hated this snow— and everything else about Casper, Wyoming, America! She missed China so much! “I hate it here! I want to go home!” Emily thought. She reached for a small white envelope in her pocket. In it was an invitation to Jennifer’s party. Emily didn’t want to go. She felt embarrassed at the thought of being at a party with a group of kids she hardly knew. She closed her eyes and remembered at this time of year people would celebrate the winter solstice in China. In the northern part of China most people would make dumplings to eat while southern Chinese would eat rice dumplings, chicken soup and bean curd. Emily sighed and pushed the door to her parents’ restaurant. They were busy working.“Maybe I should go just this once for Mum and Dad. They are so worried that I’m not making any friends.” Emily went over and tied an apron (围裙) around her waist. As she was washing dishes she told her mother that she had been invited to a party on Friday night. Mum smiled, saying Emily might be happy in their new home. Emily nodded, thinking Casper could never be her home. On Friday evening, Dad drove Emily to the party. Jennifer met her at the door and led her into the dining room. Six kids from her classes were seated around the table, on which small cookie dough was sitting— they were making cookies! Wow, Emily loved making food!For this part of the party, she could be herself! She asked for some raw meat and cabbage and decided to make some dumplings. As she was making the dumpling wrappers, Jennifer wondered how she did it. The others joined, staring at Emily with admiration. Emily felt a sense of joy welling up inside her. Maybe I could fit in here—a little, she thought. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 “Can you teach us?” Jennifer asked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, the Spring Festival arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 来宾市金秋实验学校2025-2026秋季学期9月考试卷 高三英语 (本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟) 注意事项： 1.答题前，务必将自己的姓名、学校、班级、准考证号填写在答题卡规定的位置上。 2、答选择题时，必须使用2B铅笔将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，再选涂其它答案标号。 3.答非选择题时，必须使用0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔，将答案书写在答题卡规定的位置上。 4.所有题目必须在答题卡上作答，在试题卷上答题无效。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

A few are sent by their parents to learn self-control and hard work. Master Hu Zhengsheng teaches at a small school in Dengfeng. Recently, he was offered an important role in a kung fu movie. It would have been good publicity for his school, but he did not accept. He doesn’t agree with how kung fu is often shown in movies. Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics (杂技) and kickboxing, Hu teaches his students time-honored kung fu forms — passed down through generations of masters and steeped in centuries-old martial arts heritage. But attracting new students to this style of kung fu has become a problem. Hu’s afraid his art will soon die out. He has to remind his students that kung fu was designed for fighting, not to entertain. “There are no high kicks or acrobatics here,” he says. “It is hard to convince boys to spend many years learning something that won’t make them wealthy or famous.” Hu’s students sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no matter what the temperature is. They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns sitting on each other’s shoulders to build leg strength. To master kung fu, they must learn respect, and how to “eat bitterness”, a Mandarin expression meaning to “enduring suffering”. The life of a Shaolin master, Hu believes, is not easy or attractive. Master Hu is in a difficult position. For old traditions to survive, the young must learn. Gradually, he has begun offering a few courses in kickboxing and the acrobatic kung fu forms,hoping to attract new students. Then, maybe, he’ ll be able to convince them to learn Shaolin kung fu the traditional way. 4. Why do most students attend martial arts schools in Dengfeng? A. To gain self-discipline. B. To pursue opportunities in film. C. To obtain military or police jobs. D. To learn self-defense skills. 5. What is special about Master Hu’s teaching? A. He prepares students for movie roles. B. He teaches acrobatics and kickboxing. C. He focuses on traditional kung fu styles. D. He emphasizes entertainment in Kung fu. 6. What can be inferred about Master Hu’s view on the life of a Shaolin master? A. It focuses on well-being. B. It is suitable for young boys only. C. It is filled with fame and fortune. D. It requires great perseverance. 7. What’s Hu’s attitude towards the future of kung fu? A Concerned. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Reserved. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了登封武术学校现状、胡师傅对传统功夫的坚守及其对功夫未来的担忧。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“They come to the schools for a variety of reasons. The majority hope to become movie stars.(他们来学校的原因多种多样。大多数人希望成为电影明星)”可知，大多数学生上武术学校的目的是追求电影事业。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Unlike many large schools, which teach acrobatics (杂技) and kickboxing, Hu teaches his students time-honored kung fu forms — passed down through generations of masters and steeped in centuries-old martial arts heritage.(与许多教授杂技和踢拳的大型学校不同，胡师傅教给学生的功夫是经过时间考验的——是经过几代大师传承下来，并浸透着数百年武术传统的)”可知，胡师傅教学的特别之处在于他专注于传统的功夫风格。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Hu’s students sleep in unheated rooms and train outside no matter what the temperature is. They hit trees with their bare hands and take turns sitting on each other’s shoulders to build leg strength. To master kung fu, they must learn respect, and how to “eat bitterness”, a Mandarin expression meaning to “enduring suffering”.(胡师傅的学生睡在没有暖气的房间里，无论温度如何都在户外训练。他们赤手空拳打树，轮流坐在彼此的肩膀上锻炼腿部力量。为了掌握功夫，他们必须学会尊重，学会如何“吃苦”，这是一句中文表达，意思是“忍受痛苦”)”可知，要成为少林功夫大师需要极大的毅力。由此可推知，胡师傅认为少林功夫大师的生活需要极大的毅力。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“But attracting new students to this style of kung fu has become a problem. Hu’s afraid his art will soon die out.(但吸引新学生学习这种风格的功夫已经成了一个问题。胡师傅担心他的艺术很快就会消失)”以及最后一段中的“Master Hu is in a difficult position.(胡师傅处于一个困难的境地)”可知，胡师傅对功夫的未来感到担忧。故选A。 C A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigments but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’ re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint resists heat absorption and instead casts light back outward.That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 8. Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A. The blue of crystals. B. The orange of bright rainbows. C. The purple of ripe grapes. D. The green of peacocks’ feathers. 9. What does the underlined word“toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A. Beneficial. B. Priceless. C. Artificial. D. Harmful. 10. Why might structural paint be especially useful in warm climate? A. It reflects light. B. It absorbs heat. C. It changes color. D. It resists water. 11. What’s the purpose of this passage? A. To criticize heavy metals use in art. B. To present a new eco-friendly paint. C. To advocate more colorful paintings. D. To explain rainbow formation principles. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了佛罗里达研究人员创造了一种新型环保颜料，它通过模仿自然结构色来反射光线，减少热量吸收，既安全又有助于应对气候变暖。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains.Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen — forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’ re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers.(结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的，而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线，就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝，其中有些颜色几乎不可能人工复制。那是因为这些美丽的颜色不是通过色素实现的——它们都在结构中，比如孔雀羽毛的绿色)”可知，水晶蓝、明亮的彩虹橙色和孔雀羽毛的绿色都属于结构色，而成熟的葡萄的紫色是葡萄自身含有的色素呈现的颜色，不属于结构色，它属于色素颜色。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.”(Chanda强调说：“深蓝色需要钴；深红色需要镉。它们是toxic。我们使用这种涂料正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。”)”可知，含重金属的合成材料制成的涂料会污染环境，由此推测toxic意为“有害的”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint resists heat absorption and instead casts light back outward. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate.(除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性外，Chanda还发现，与色素不同，结构涂料能抵抗热量吸收，而是将光线反射出去。这就是为什么人们被建议在更热的日子穿浅色衣服，以及为什么许多建筑被漆成白色。这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽)”可知，这种涂料在炎热气候中特别有用的原因是它能反射光线，从而降低温度。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第一段“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do.(佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了有史以来最凉爽的涂料。中佛罗里达大学的研究员Chanda和他的团队创造了一种方法，可以模仿自然反射光线的能力，创造出美丽鲜艳的颜色，而不会像传统色素那样吸收热量)”以及最后一段““Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.”(“大自然已经走上了创造我们周围环境和谐的道路，”Chanda说。“我们想要丰富多彩，但我们的色彩生产并没有真正得到自然的支持或启发。我希望这种涂料能成为更健康、更凉爽环境的未来。”)”可知，本文主要介绍了一种新型的环保涂料，它模仿自然结构色，反射光线，减少热量吸收，既安全又有助于应对气候变暖。故选B。 D If you fall off a bike, you’ll probably end up with a cinematic memory of the experience; the wind in your hair, the rock on the road, and then the pain. That’s known as an episodic (片段式的) memory. Now researchers have discovered cells that make this sort of memory possible. The cells are called time cells, and they place a sort of time stamp on memories as they are being formed. That allows us to recall experiences in the right order. Dr. Bradley Lega and his team found the time cells by studying the brains of 27 people who were waiting for operations to treat their serious diseases. As part of their pre-operation preparation, these patients had detectors placed in the hippocampus (海马体), a key brain region for memory. In the experiment, the patients studied orders of 12 or 15 words that appeared on a screen during a period of about 30 seconds. Then, after a break, they were asked to write down the words they had seen in the right order. Meanwhile, the researchers were measuring the activity of individual brain cells. And they found a small number that would fire at specific times during each series of words. These time stamps seemed to help people remember when they had seen each word, and in what order. And the brain probably uses the same approach when we’re reliving an experience like falling off a bike. The results help explain why people who have damage to the hippocampus may experience memory problems. Their neural systems lack the specialized cells that act as internal timekeepers for memories. Without these crucial time-stamping cells, the brain loses its ability to mark when each part of an experience occurs and how they connect in sequence. This absence leaves memories fragmented, making it nearly impossible to piece together the full story of past events in the correct order. But even though time cells are very important for episodic memory, Lega says, they really aren’t like clocks, which run at a steady pace. Instead, time cells are speeding up or slowing down from time to time, depending on factors like mood and the intensity of the experience. 12. What’s the function of time cells? A. Arranging memories in time order. B. Creating vivid cinematic memories. C. Recording physical pain during an accident. D. Defining episodic memory scientifically. 13. What’s paragraph 3 mainly about? A. A treatment for brain diseases. B. A memory exercise technique. C. The study discovering time cells. D. The detectors in the hippocampus. 14. Why do people with a damaged hippocampus experience memory problems? A. Their attention can’t be focused. B. Their time cells in the brain are impaired. C. Their episodic memories are overactive. D. Their brains can’t store new information. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Memory Research: A Long-term Project B. Time Cells: The Key to Episodic Memory C. Hippocampus: The Place for Memory Storage D. Episodic Memory: A Common Experience Memory 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员发现时间细胞对片段式记忆形成至关重要，它能为记忆打上时间戳，助人按序回忆。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The cells are called time cells, and they place a sort of time stamp on memories as they are being formed. That allows us to recall experiences in the right order.(这些细胞被称为时间细胞，它们在记忆形成时给记忆打上一种时间戳。这让我们能够按照正确的顺序回忆经历)”可知，时间细胞的功能是将记忆按时间顺序排列。故选A。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。 根据第三段“Dr. Bradley Lega and his team found the time cells by studying the brains of 27 people who were waiting for operations to treat their serious diseases.

Cold snow was falling as Emily walked slowly home from school. She really hated this snow— and everything else about Casper, Wyoming, America! She missed China so much! “I hate it here! I want to go home!” Emily thought. She reached for a small white envelope in her pocket. In it was an invitation to Jennifer’s party. Emily didn’t want to go. She felt embarrassed at the thought of being at a party with a group of kids she hardly knew. She closed her eyes and remembered at this time of year people would celebrate the winter solstice in China. In the northern part of China most people would make dumplings to eat while southern Chinese would eat rice dumplings, chicken soup and bean curd. Emily sighed and pushed the door to her parents’ restaurant. They were busy working.“Maybe I should go just this once for Mum and Dad. They are so worried that I’m not making any friends.” Emily went over and tied an apron (围裙) around her waist. As she was washing dishes, she told her mother that she had been invited to a party on Friday night. Mum smiled, saying Emily might be happy in their new home. Emily nodded, thinking Casper could never be her home. On Friday evening, Dad drove Emily to the party. Jennifer met her at the door and led her into the dining room. Six kids from her classes were seated around the table, on which small cookie dough was sitting— they were making cookies! Wow, Emily loved making food!For this part of the party, she could be herself! She asked for some raw meat and cabbage and decided to make some dumplings. As she was making the dumpling wrappers, Jennifer wondered how she did it. The others joined, staring at Emily with admiration. Emily felt a sense of joy welling up inside her. Maybe I could fit in here—a little, she thought. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Can you teach us?” Jennifer asked. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, the Spring Festival arrived. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “Can you teach us?” Jennifer asked. Emily’s eyes brightened, and she nodded eagerly. She held up a piece of dough, showing everyone how to press it into a thin circle. “Be gentle, or it’ll tear,” she said. The kids followed, giggling when some wrappers turned out lopsided. She then taught them to add meat and cabbage filling, folding the edges neatly. “My family makes these for festivals—they mean ‘gathering’,” she shared. When the dumplings boiled, everyone took a bite and cheered. Emily smiled, a warm feeling settling in her chest. Weeks later, the Spring Festival arrived. Emily’s parents hung red lanterns in their restaurant. Suddenly, Jennifer and two classmates appeared with red paper. “We want to learn paper cutting, like you mentioned!” they said. Emily taught them to cut out rabbit shapes, and they stuck the cuttings on windows. Over steaming dumplings, they laughed and talked. Emily looked around, thinking, “This is home now.” She took a bite, savoring the warmth. 【解析】 【导语】本文以 Emily 的心理转变为主线，讲述从中国移居美国卡斯珀的她，起初厌恶新环境、思念中国，后因参加 Jennifer的派对，教大家做中国饺子获得认可，春节时朋友又来学剪纸共庆，最终Emily 彻底接纳卡斯珀为家的温暖的跨文化故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ① 由首句 “你能教我们吗？” 詹妮弗问道。可知，第一段需围绕 Emily 教做饺子展开，描写她的积极反应、教学细节（擀皮、包馅）、分享饺子的中国文化寓意，以及众人夸赞带来的 Emily 内心温暖，体现她初步融入。 ② 由首句 “几周后，春节到了 ” 可知，第二段需聚焦春节场景，写 Emily 家装饰餐厅、朋友来学剪纸、众人共吃饺子，展现 Emily 内心对 “家” 的认知转变，完成情感闭环。 2.续写线索：厌恶新环境→教做饺子（传文化、获认可）→内心温暖→春节共庆（学剪纸、吃饺子）→认同此地为家 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ① 微笑: smile/beam ②教：teach/demonstrate ③跟随：follow/come after 情绪类 ①温暖的：warm/cosy ②渴望地：eagerly/keenly 【点睛】[高分句型 1] She held up a piece of dough, showing everyone how to press it into a thin circle.（运用了现在分词作状语） [高分句型 2] When the dumplings boiled, everyone took a bite and cheered.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
