It was always there, even in moments of success or after a kind word from a friend. It started after the doctors said I had autism (自闭症), and autism wasn’t widely understood back then. My teachers didn’t get me. My classmates always laughed at me. Through those years, I never wanted to admit I was autistic. I tried to hide it. But hiding only made the self-doubt stronger. During middle school, I received surgery on my back. I didn’t pass many exams and kept failing the SATs. But something deep inside me told me, “Keep going.” So I did. After three tries, I finally passed. That was when I started writing. At first, it was just a way to get the thoughts out of my head. My voice had been quiet for so long, but now, on paper, it was starting to come through. I put my writing into a book and managed to get it published, although the process was filled with difficulties. People responded in ways I never expected. Some told me my words helped them feel less unnoticed. Others said they finally felt comforted, opening up about their own struggles. Parents reached me to say they had hope again. Hope that their child will be okay. I’ve since spoken at meetings and connected with people who once felt unseen by others. What matters most isn’t the achievements, but knowing that someone, somewhere, who feels like I once did, might hear my story and think, “Maybe I can do that too.” There’s one moment I’ll never forget. Once, after I shared my story at a graduation ceremony, a girl suddenly appeared and began to sing a beautiful song about wishing parents to get closer to their kids and help them. I was so touched. And once again, I was reminded that the voice I once tried to hide had helped someone else find theirs. 4. Which word can best describe the author’s middle school life? A. Eventful. B. Smooth. C. Interesting. D. Fruitless. 5. What made the author begin writing? A. The need to express his feelings. B. The hope to cure his autism. C. The desire for public recognition. D. The encouragement from his teachers. 6. Why was the author moved by the girl’s song? A. It had poetic lines. B. It showed her musical talent. C. It suggested his story inspired others. D. It carried mixed emotions. 7. What message does the author want to deliver? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved. D. One’s experience can light another’s path. C The education technology (edtech) industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with investment (投资) in this field increasing more than forty times over the last decade. As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom. “Only 11% of education decision makers were looking at any type of evidence to make a purchasing decision on an edtech tool,” said Isabelle Hau, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, an organization that helps improve how well children and adults learn. “And only 7% of edtech tools around the world have any kind of strict, dependable evidence that they work.” Besides the lack of research on which tools help students get better grades in this fast-growing edtech field, making sure everyone can get these tools fairly is also challenging. “Many of these tools aren’t shared fairly. This has to do with who pays the money for them and how the money is provided,” Ms. Hau explained. “Around the world, there’s still a huge divide in how easy it is for people in different places to use digital tools (like computers and tablets).” Hau joins GSE Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope as they discuss edtech’s rocketing growth, what’s driving that growth, and how school leaders, the government, and other organizations can help teachers get the tools that will best serve their students. “A lot of people are working on it including us, of course, because we have a big role to play in improving learning outcomes for children and educators,” Hau said. She also shared tips and resources for businessmen looking to get into the edtech space. “You need to start small, and you need to start with a handful of partners that love your solution. And then from there you can expect to grow in size.” 8. What might be the school leaders’ concern about edtech tools? A. Originality. B. Effectiveness. C. Safety. D. Convenience. 9. What does the underlined part “a huge divide” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A The inequality in access to digital tools. B. The difference in the quality of edtech products. C. The gap in digital skills between teachers and students. D. The imbalance in educational development across regions. 10 What is Hau’s suggestion for businessmen interested in edtech? A. Dream big. B. Seek investment. C. Be practical. D. Be independent. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend edtech products and services. B. To complain about the poor quality of edtech tools. C. To provide detailed guidance on choosing edtech tools. D. To expose the challenges in the fast-growing edtech field. D In North America, monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) live about a month, but the last generation of the year, the ones that migrate (迁徙) south, can live around eight months. Since the 1990s, monarch populations have dropped, particularly at overwintering sites and populations found east of the Rocky Mountains have reduced by around 80 percent. Researchers think that higher temperatures caused by climate change could be a reason. But until now, no studies have specifically looked at that. To test this hypothesis (假设), Fedorka and his team collected nearly 500 wild monarchs before their migration in autumn and divided them into two groups. In the lab, they placed the two groups in migration-path temperature extremes — 23℃ and 19℃, based on 70 years of data. After 26 days, survivors were put into conditions that copied winter. The team found the monarchs that had been in the warmer temperature started laying eggs early — even when there was no milkweed around, the plant where monarchs lay their eggs and on which their young feed. “These monarchs are ready to drop out of migration at any moment,” Fedorka says. The team also found that male monarchs from the warmer group were 88 percent more likely to die than those from the colder group. Both male and female monarchs that had experienced warmer temperatures during their trip had a 28 percent higher risk of dying during winter—no matter what the winter temperatures were. The team admits that further research is needed to see how the results apply in the wild. Sonia Altizer, an expert who studies insects, notes that monarchs’ habit of stopping their trip south when it’s warm means they might one day stop migrating completely. Or, they could migrate only part of the way. And as monarchs help plants by carrying pollen from one flower to another, losing their migration would also mean losing an amazing natural event. “If we lose these groups of monarchs that migrate, we can never get them back,” Altizer says. 12. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The process of the experiment. B. The principle of dividing monarchs. C. The challenges of conducting the experiment. D. The specific results observed from the experiment. 13. Which of the following matches the team’s findings? A. Male monarchs die more easily than female ones. B. Warmer climate may make monarchs lay eggs early. C. Food sources come before temperatures for monarchs. D Nothing along the journey can stop monarchs migrating. 14. What’s Altizer’s attitude towards monarchs’ migration? A. Hopeful. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 15. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Approach to Protecting Monarch Butterflies B. Monarch Butterflies’ Migration Path Across North America C. Temperature’s Influence on Migration of Monarch Butterflies D. The Life Differences Among Monarch Butterfly Generations 第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s magic in travel, and it’s obvious.

Surinder Gupta packed up his life in Baton Rouge and moved his small family — wife Shashi, baby son Shaminder, and a handful of suitcases — to New Orleans, all to follow his dream of attending medical school. Baton Rouge had felt like home since he moved there from India’s Punjab region. There, he was part of a close, friendly Indian group. They celebrated festivals with him, helped when Shaminder was born, and even shared home-cooked Punjabi food on busy weeknights. But New Orleans was totally new. He didn’t know the streets, the way people talked sounded strange, and he had no friends there. It was exciting, yes — but it also made him feel lonely. This was especially true on cold winter nights, when Shaminder cried and Shashi missed their old neighbors. Then that very cold night came. Shaminder, who was only six months old, woke up crying loudly around 2:00 a.m. His small forehead felt very hot when touched. “We need medicine right now,” Surinder said. They quickly put on their coats and hurried to their old car. That car was the only thing that still felt like something they knew in this new city. The 24-hour drugstore in the city center was their last chance. When they finally found children’s fever medicine on the shelf, Shashi let out a shaky sigh of relief. For a short time, they felt calm — until they walked back outside. Their car was gone. And they just found a note, which read, “Vehicle towed (拖走) — contact City Impound.” Surinder looked at the dark, empty street, his mind busy thinking of what to do. Then he remembered that he had taken an old phone book from their moving box, just in case he needed it. He turned to the pages with last names starting with “S” and “W”. “Singh...Walia...these are Punjabi last names,” he said quietly to himself. Maybe, just maybe, someone from his home country would answer the phone. 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。 Then Surinder called the first number under “Walia”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty minutes later, a pickup truck pulled up in front of Surinder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年（上）南阳六校高二年级期中考试 英 语 考生注意： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将考生号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有2分钟的时间将试卷上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。 例: How much is the shirt?

It was always there, even in moments of success or after a kind word from a friend. It started after the doctors said I had autism (自闭症), and autism wasn’t widely understood back then. My teachers didn’t get me. My classmates always laughed at me. Through those years, I never wanted to admit I was autistic. I tried to hide it. But hiding only made the self-doubt stronger. During middle school, I received surgery on my back. I didn’t pass many exams and kept failing the SATs. But something deep inside me told me, “Keep going.” So I did. After three tries, I finally passed. That was when I started writing. At first, it was just a way to get the thoughts out of my head. My voice had been quiet for so long, but now, on paper, it was starting to come through. I put my writing into a book and managed to get it published, although the process was filled with difficulties. People responded in ways I never expected. Some told me my words helped them feel less unnoticed. Others said they finally felt comforted, opening up about their own struggles. Parents reached me to say they had hope again. Hope that their child will be okay. I’ve since spoken at meetings and connected with people who once felt unseen by others. What matters most isn’t the achievements, but knowing that someone, somewhere, who feels like I once did, might hear my story and think, “Maybe I can do that too.” There’s one moment I’ll never forget. Once, after I shared my story at a graduation ceremony, a girl suddenly appeared and began to sing a beautiful song about wishing parents to get closer to their kids and help them. I was so touched. And once again, I was reminded that the voice I once tried to hide had helped someone else find theirs. 4. Which word can best describe the author’s middle school life? A. Eventful. B. Smooth. C. Interesting. D. Fruitless. 5. What made the author begin writing? A. The need to express his feelings. B. The hope to cure his autism. C. The desire for public recognition. D. The encouragement from his teachers. 6. Why was the author moved by the girl’s song? A. It had poetic lines. B. It showed her musical talent. C. It suggested his story inspired others. D. It carried mixed emotions. 7. What message does the author want to deliver? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. A trouble shared is a trouble halved. D. One’s experience can light another’s path. 【答案】4. A 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者患有自闭症，多年来一直自我怀疑，在中学时经历了很多困难，但通过坚持最终成功出版了自己的书，并激励了他人。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“During middle school, I received surgery on my back. I didn’t pass many exams and kept failing the SATs. But something deep inside me told me, “Keep going.” So I did. After three tries, I finally passed.(在中学期间，我做了背部手术。我没有通过很多考试，SAT考试也一直不及格。但我内心深处有个声音告诉我：“坚持下去。”于是我就这么做了。经过三次尝试，我终于通过了)”可知，作者在中学期间经历了背部手术，多次考试不及格，SAT考试也多次失败，最终经过多次尝试才通过考试，由此可推知，作者的中学生活充满了各种事件和挑战，故用“eventful(多事的，不平凡的)”来形容最为贴切。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At first, it was just a way to get the thoughts out of my head. My voice had been quiet for so long, but now, on paper, it was starting to come through.(起初，这只是为了把脑海中的想法表达出来。我的声音已经沉默了很久，但现在，在纸上，它开始显现出来)”可知，作者开始写作是为了表达自己的感受和想法。故选A项。 6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Once, after I shared my story at a graduation ceremony, a girl suddenly appeared and began to sing a beautiful song about wishing parents to get closer to their kids and help them. I was so touched. And once again, I was reminded that the voice I once tried to hide had helped someone else find theirs.(曾在毕业典礼上分享经历后，有个女孩突然起身清唱起一首动人的歌曲，歌词祈愿父母能更贴近孩子、给予他们帮助。我很感动。我又一次意识到，那个我曾试图隐藏的声音已经帮助另一个灵魂找到了自己的声音)”可知，作者被女孩的歌感动是因为女孩的歌声表明作者的故事激励了别人，让他们也找到了自己的“声音”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合倒数第二段中“What matters most isn’t the achievements, but knowing that someone, somewhere, who feels like I once did, might hear my story and think, “Maybe I can do that too.”(最重要的不是成就，而是知道在某个地方，有某个和我曾经一样的人，可能会听到我的故事，然后想，“也许我也能做到。”)”和最后一段中“And once again, I was reminded that the voice I once tried to hide had helped someone else find theirs.(我又一次意识到，那个我曾试图隐藏的声音已经帮助另一个灵魂找到了自己的声音)”可知，作者通过分享自己的经历和故事，激励了那些曾经感到被忽视和自我怀疑的人，让他们找到了自己的声音和希望。由此可推知，作者想要传达的信息是“一个人的经历可以照亮另一个人的道路”。故选D项。 C The education technology (edtech) industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with investment (投资) in this field increasing more than forty times over the last decade. As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom. “Only 11% of education decision makers were looking at any type of evidence to make a purchasing decision on an edtech tool,” said Isabelle Hau, executive director of the Stanford Accelerator for Learning, an organization that helps improve how well children and adults learn. “And only 7% of edtech tools around the world have any kind of strict, dependable evidence that they work.” Besides the lack of research on which tools help students get better grades in this fast-growing edtech field, making sure everyone can get these tools fairly is also challenging. “Many of these tools aren’t shared fairly. This has to do with who pays the money for them and how the money is provided,” Ms. Hau explained. “Around the world, there’s still a huge divide in how easy it is for people in different places to use digital tools (like computers and tablets).” Hau joins GSE Dean Dan Schwartz and Senior Lecturer Denise Pope as they discuss edtech’s rocketing growth, what’s driving that growth, and how school leaders, the government, and other organizations can help teachers get the tools that will best serve their students. “A lot of people are working on it, including us, of course, because we have a big role to play in improving learning outcomes for children and educators,” Hau said. She also shared tips and resources for businessmen looking to get into the edtech space. “You need to start small, and you need to start with a handful of partners that love your solution. And then from there you can expect to grow in size.” 8. What might be the school leaders’ concern about edtech tools? A. Originality. B. Effectiveness. C. Safety. D. Convenience. 9. What does the underlined part “a huge divide” in paragraph 3 probably refer to? A. The inequality in access to digital tools. B. The difference in the quality of edtech products. C. The gap in digital skills between teachers and students. D. The imbalance in educational development across regions. 10. What is Hau’s suggestion for businessmen interested in edtech? A. Dream big. B. Seek investment. C. Be practical. D. Be independent. 11. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend edtech products and services. B. To complain about the poor quality of edtech tools. C. To provide detailed guidance on choosing edtech tools. D. To expose the challenges in the fast-growing edtech field. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了教育科技行业发展迅速，但学校领导面临工具选择难题，且公平获取工具也具有挑战性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The education technology (edtech) industry has grown rapidly in recent years, with investment (投资) in this field increasing more than forty times over the last decade. As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom.(近年来，教育科技行业发展迅猛，过去十年间，该领域的投资增长了四十多倍。因此，市场上充斥着各种新工具和新成立的教育科技公司，这使得学校领导者和教师难以判断哪些工具在课堂上能真正发挥最佳效果。)”可知，学校领导和教师很难弄清楚哪些工具在课堂上最有效，即他们担心教育科技工具的有效性。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中““Many of these tools aren’t shared fairly. This has to do with who pays the money for them and how the money is provided,” Ms. Hau explained. “Around the world, there’s still a huge divide in how easy it is for people in different places to use digital tools (like computers and tablets).”(Hau女士解释道：“许多工具并没有得到公平共享。这关系到谁来为这些工具买单，以及资金是如何提供的。”“在全球范围内，不同地区的人们使用数字工具（如电脑和平板电脑）的便利程度仍存在a huge divide。”)”可知，此处指世界各地的人们使用数字工具的难易程度存在巨大差距，即数字工具获取的不平等性，a huge divide的意思是“数字工具获取的不平等性”。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“She also shared tips and resources for businessmen looking to get into the edtech space. “You need to start small, and you need to start with a handful of partners that love your solution. And then from there you can expect to grow in size.”(她还为有意进入教育科技领域的商人分享了建议和资源。“你需要从小处着手，你需要从一些喜欢你的解决方案的合作伙伴开始。然后从那里你可以期待规模的增长。”)”可知，Hau建议有意进入教育科技领域的商人要从小处着手，务实一些。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As a result, the market is being flooded with new tools and new edtech companies, making it hard for school leaders and teachers to figure out which tools will actually work best in the classroom.(因此，市场上充斥着各种新工具和新成立的教育科技公司，这使得学校领导者和教师难以判断哪些工具在课堂上能真正发挥最佳效果。)”以及第三段中“Besides the lack of research on which tools help students get better grades in this fast-growing edtech field, making sure everyone can get these tools fairly is also challenging.(除了在这个快速增长的教育科技领域缺乏关于哪些工具能帮助学生取得更好成绩的研究之外，确保每个人都能公平地获得这些工具也是一个挑战。)”可知，文章主要介绍了教育科技行业快速发展带来的挑战，包括学校领导和教师难以选择有效的工具，以及确保公平获取这些工具的挑战。作者的目的是揭示快速增长的教育技术领域的挑战。故选D。 D In North America, monarch butterflies (帝王蝶) live about a month, but the last generation of the year, the ones that migrate (迁徙) south, can live around eight months. Since the 1990s, monarch populations have dropped, particularly at overwintering sites and populations found east of the Rocky Mountains have reduced by around 80 percent. Researchers think that higher temperatures caused by climate change could be a reason. But until now, no studies have specifically looked at that. To test this hypothesis (假设), Fedorka and his team collected nearly 500 wild monarchs before their migration in autumn and divided them into two groups. In the lab, they placed the two groups in migration-path temperature extremes — 23℃ and 19℃, based on 70 years of data. After 26 days, survivors were put into conditions that copied winter. The team found the monarchs that had been in the warmer temperature started laying eggs early — even when there was no milkweed around, the plant where monarchs lay their eggs and on which their young feed. “These monarchs are ready to drop out of migration at any moment,” Fedorka says. The team also found that male monarchs from the warmer group were 88 percent more likely to die than those from the colder group. Both male and female monarchs that had experienced warmer temperatures during their trip had a 28 percent higher risk of dying during winter—no matter what the winter temperatures were. The team admits that further research is needed to see how the results apply in the wild. Sonia Altizer, an expert who studies insects, notes that monarchs’ habit of stopping their trip south when it’s warm means they might one day stop migrating completely. Or, they could migrate only part of the way. And as monarchs help plants by carrying pollen from one flower to another, losing their migration would also mean losing an amazing natural event. “If we lose these groups of monarchs that migrate, we can never get them back,” Altizer says. 12. What does paragraph 2 focus on? A. The process of the experiment. B. The principle of dividing monarchs. C. The challenges of conducting the experiment. D. The specific results observed from the experiment. 13. Which of the following matches the team’s findings? A. Male monarchs die more easily than female ones. B. Warmer climate may make monarchs lay eggs early. C. Food sources come before temperatures for monarchs. D. Nothing along the journey can stop monarchs migrating. 14. What’s Altizer’s attitude towards monarchs’ migration? A. Hopeful. B. Uncaring. C. Worried. D. Unclear. 15. Which of the following is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Approach to Protecting Monarch Butterflies B. Monarch Butterflies’ Migration Path Across North America C. Temperature’s Influence on Migration of Monarch Butterflies D. The Life Differences Among Monarch Butterfly Generations 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕北美帝王蝶，阐述其数量下降情况，详述Fedorka团队针对温度对帝王蝶影响的实验过程与发现，并提及专家对帝王蝶迁徙可能消失的担忧。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“To test this hypothesis (假设), Fedorka and his team collected nearly 500 wild monarchs before their migration in autumn and divided them into two groups. In the lab, they placed the two groups in migration-path temperature extremes — 23℃ and 19℃, based on 70 years of data. After 26 days, survivors were put into conditions that copied winter.(为了验证这一假设，费多克及其团队在秋季迁徙前收集了近500只野生帝王蝶，并将它们分成两组。在实验室中，他们根据70年的数据，将这两组蝴蝶置于迁徙路径所处温度的极端环境中——23摄氏度和19摄氏度。26天后，存活下来的蝴蝶被置于与冬季相似的环境中)”可知，本段主要描述了实验的具体实施过程。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The team found the monarchs that had been in the warmer temperature started laying eggs early — even when there was no milkweed around, the plant where monarchs lay their eggs and on which their young feed.(研究小组发现，那些处于较高温度环境中的帝王蝶开始产卵的时间明显提前了——即便周围没有马利筋（帝王蝶产卵及幼虫进食的植物）存在)”可知，温暖的气候可能会促使帝王蝶提前产卵，与该团队的研究结果相符。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Sonia Altizer, an expert who studies insects, notes that monarchs’ habit of stopping their trip south when it’s warm means they might one day stop migrating completely. Or, they could migrate only part of the way. And as monarchs help plants by carrying pollen from one flower to another, losing their migration would also mean losing an amazing natural event. “If we lose these groups of monarchs that migrate, we can never get them back,” Altizer says.(研究昆虫的专家索尼娅·阿尔蒂泽指出，帝王蝶在天气转暖时会停止向南迁徙的这一习惯意味着，它们或许有一天会完全停止迁徙。或者，它们可能只完成一部分的迁徙路程。而且由于帝王蝶能够将花粉从一朵花传播到另一朵花，因此失去它们的迁徙行为也将意味着失去一场了不起的自然奇观。“如果我们失去了这些进行迁徙的帝王蝶群体，我们就永远无法再得到它们了，”阿尔蒂泽说道)”可知，Altizer指出，温暖环境下帝王蝶可能“完全停止迁徙”或者“仅部分迁徙”，且强调“失去迁徙的帝王蝶群体就再也无法恢复”，同时提到帝王蝶迁徙是“令人惊叹的自然现象”，其语气中充满对帝王蝶迁徙行为消失的担忧。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。全文围绕“温度对帝王蝶迁徙的影响”展开：首先提出“气候变化导致的温度升高可能是帝王蝶数量下降的原因，但此前无针对性研究”；接着详细描述验证该假设的实验过程及结果（温暖环境影响帝王蝶产卵时间、存活率和迁徙意愿）；最后提及实验结果的延伸意义（可能导致帝王蝶迁徙行为改变）。C选项“温度对帝王蝶迁徙的影响”最符合文章标题。故选C。 第二节（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 There’s magic in travel, and it’s obvious.

Surinder Gupta packed up his life in Baton Rouge and moved his small family — wife Shashi, baby son Shaminder, and a handful of suitcases — to New Orleans, all to follow his dream of attending medical school. Baton Rouge had felt like home since he moved there from India’s Punjab region. There, he was part of a close, friendly Indian group. They celebrated festivals with him, helped when Shaminder was born, and even shared home-cooked Punjabi food on busy weeknights. But New Orleans was totally new. He didn’t know the streets, the way people talked sounded strange, and he had no friends there. It was exciting, yes — but it also made him feel lonely. This was especially true on cold winter nights, when Shaminder cried and Shashi missed their old neighbors. Then that very cold night came. Shaminder, who was only six months old, woke up crying loudly around 2:00 a.m. His small forehead felt very hot when touched. “We need medicine right now,” Surinder said. They quickly put on their coats and hurried to their old car. That car was the only thing that still felt like something they knew in this new city. The 24-hour drugstore in the city center was their last chance. When they finally found children’s fever medicine on the shelf, Shashi let out a shaky sigh of relief. For a short time, they felt calm — until they walked back outside. Their car was gone. And they just found a note, which read, “Vehicle towed (拖走) — contact City Impound.” Surinder looked at the dark, empty street, his mind busy thinking of what to do. Then he remembered that he had taken an old phone book from their moving box, just in case he needed it. He turned to the pages with last names starting with “S” and “W”. “Singh...Walia...these are Punjabi last names,” he said quietly to himself. Maybe, just maybe, someone from his home country would answer the phone. 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。 Then Surinder called the first number under “Walia”. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Twenty minutes later, a pickup truck pulled up in front of Surinder. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Then Surinder called the first number under “Walia”. The phone rang three times before a warm voice with a Punjabi lilt picked up. Surinder rushed to explain — his sick baby, the towed car, the cold night — his words broken by Shaminder’s faint cries. The man, named Raj, cut in softly: “I’m on my way. Stay near the drugstore; I’ll bring chai to warm you.” Surinder thanked him repeatedly, his hands no longer shaking as he held the phone. Shashi, hearing, hugged Shaminder closer, a glimmer of hope in her eyes. Twenty minutes later, a pickup truck pulled up in front of Surinder. Raj hopped out, carrying a thermos and a blanket. He handed the blanket to Shashi, poured hot chai for Surinder, then said, “Let’s get your baby home first — I’ll sort the car tomorrow.” On the drive, Raj shared stories of his first years in New Orleans, making Surinder laugh. That night, as Shaminder’s fever dropped, Surinder realized: home wasn’t just a place — it was the kindness of a fellow townsman in a strange city. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Surinder为圆医学梦，携家人从巴吞鲁日搬到新奥尔良，在陌生城市倍感孤独。一个寒夜，婴儿发烧，他们买药后汽车被拖走，Surinder只好拨打电话簿中同乡的号码求助。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“然后Surinder拨打了“ Walia”下面的第一个号码。”可知，接下来可描写电话接通后Surinder解释自己的情况，以及接电话的人同意前来援助。 ②根据第二段首句“二十分钟后，一辆小货车停在Surinder面前。”可知，接下来可描写接电话的人主动照顾Surinder和孩子，并送他们回家，以及Surinder的感悟。 2.续写线索：拨打电话——接通后解释自己的情况——接电话的人答应帮忙——二十分钟后小货车来到现场——车主主动照顾Surinder和孩子——车主送他们回家——Surinder的感悟 3.词类激活 ①接听电话：pick up/answer ②解释：explain/illustrate ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①温暖的：warm/gentle/kind ②感激：thank/show gratitude 【点睛】【高分句型1】Surinder thanked him repeatedly, his hands no longer shaking as he held the phone.（运用了独立主格结构以及as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】 On the drive, Raj shared stories of his first years in New Orleans, making Surinder laugh. （运用了现在分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
