They have a fine quality, and are strong and hard. They have a pure blue-green color like a mirror and produce a metal sound when knocked.

In 2011, Chinese shadow play entered the list of Cultural Heritage by UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization)which is located in Paris, France. Kunqu Opera Kunqu Opera, one of the oldest existing forms of Chinese opera, came from Kunshan, Jiangsu province.

She arrived with the car windows down, playing his song, Easy Now, as loud as the volume could go. That’s when she told him that he was nominated for a Juno Award, in the category of Reggae Recording of the Year. “I’m so glad that reggae music is being recognized and appreciated here in Canada,” Kairo said. At age 13, Kairo is the youngest artist ever nominated for Reggae Recording of the Year at the Junos. “It’s really special to be recognized at such a young age, and it motivates me to keep making more music,” said Kairo. Kairo’s mom, Kim, recalls her son being interested in music from a very young age. “Kairo would try to play the keyboard before he was tall enough to reach it,” she said. Listening to music from the “golden era” of reggae music is a normal thing in their household, she added. Reflecting on his inspirations, Kairo said that if he could change anything about himself, it would be when and where he was born. “I would have loved to be born in Jamaica during the 1960s, at a time when reggae music was becoming more popular around the world,” said Kairo. As a Canadian reggae artist outside of Jamaica, Kairo said he feels that music needs to return to the “roots” of reggae. He said that music should spread a message about love and peace, not things like violence and hate. “As a black musician in Canada, I have a lot to talk about, and a lot to sing about,” he said. Kairo’s music is about staying positive, despite negative things that we might see in the world. “There are some injustices that I can see in the world and I talk about them because they need to be spoken about,” said Kairo. 24. What is special about Kairo’s being nominated for Reggae Recording of the Year? A. He is a black musician. B. He has made many music works. C. His music is recognized in Canada. D. He is the youngest to receive the prize. 25. What mainly contributes to Kairo’s achievement in music? A. His mother’s support. B. His passion for music. C. His years of hard work. D. His teacher’s encouragement. 26. What can we learn about Kairo from paragraph 4? A. He wants to get reggae music back to its origin. B. He moved from Jamaica to Canada in the 1960s. C. He is not content with his present life. D. He was born in Jamaica in the 1960s. 27. In which column of a newspaper can you probably read the passage? A. Technology. B. Travel. C. Entertainment. D. Sports. C Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list. This symbolic species which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years. Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a, sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today. “The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said. If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan, would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable. 28. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text? A. Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out. C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species. 29. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork? A. Charity organizations. B. Federal agencies. C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies. 30. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts B Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off D. Protection of American Native Species Works D Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”. Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult. High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school. The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights. Inactivity increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towards treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education. 32. What can we know about physical education in high school from paragraph 2? A. It can help teens learn to make good plans. B. It can get teens to encourage adults to exercise. C. It can make teens think much of exercise later. D. It can remove the stress faced by teens at school. 33. What does the underlined word “hindered” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Raised. B. Prevented. C. Shown. D. Adjusted. 34. What does the PCFSN think of doing sports? A. It helps students do better in their studies. B. It means students adjust to their studies better. C. It helps students make good use of all their time. D. It means making students choose between sports and studies. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. How high school students can live a better life. B. How schools can help students love doing sports. C. Why some schools consider physical education important. D. Why high school students should receive physical education. 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。 How to Increase the Speed of Your Internet Connection When using the Internet connection, we often encounter slow Internet speeds, greatly affecting our office efficiency.

He looked down at the hospital bills in his hands and tears filled his eyes. His poor mom had been so ill, and here he was complaining and feeling sorry for himself! He should be praying for her recovery, not crying over a lost, childish dream. Andrew was nineteen, and as far back as he could remember, he’d wanted to become a software engineer. That dream became harder to realize after his dad died when Andrew was twelve. His mom had been left to bring him up on her own, and it was hard to make ends meet. So Andrew started doing part-time jobs. Andrew put away every cent he earned for going to college. When he was sixteen, he got a summer job at a local IT company, where his insight (洞察力) and intelligence caught the owner’s eye. Mr. Lewis, the CEO, made Andrew the assistant of his best and most innovative developer and the boy continuously grew on the challenge. He couldn’t wait to go to college! Unfortunately, when Andrew was in his senior high year, his mother became very ill. The usually energetic woman was constantly feeling tired and in pain. She went from doctor to doctor, but no one knew exactly what was the matter with her. They sent her off to do dozens of expensive tests, and then shook their heads over the results. Andrew’s mom started getting weaker and weaker and thinner and thinner until she could hardly walk. Andrew added the medical bills up and was in a great shock. They owed the hospital over $23,000! He pulled out his bank book. He had in his savings account almost $30,000, which he had painstakingly (艰苦地) saved up for years. He’d be able to use this money to go to college, but his mom’s health was more important. 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。 The next day, Andrew went to see Mr. Lewis. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, Mr. Lewis appeared on Andrew’s doorstep. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 楚雄州民族中学高一年级5月月考 英语试题 本试卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1、答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在试题卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2、选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接答在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4、考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What kind of fruit does Adam like best?

She arrived with the car windows down, playing his song, Easy Now, as loud as the volume could go. That’s when she told him that he was nominated for a Juno Award, in the category of Reggae Recording of the Year. “I’m so glad that reggae music is being recognized and appreciated here in Canada,” Kairo said. At age 13, Kairo is the youngest artist ever nominated for Reggae Recording of the Year at the Junos. “It’s really special to be recognized at such a young age, and it motivates me to keep making more music,” said Kairo. Kairo’s mom, Kim, recalls her son being interested in music from a very young age. “Kairo would try to play the keyboard before he was tall enough to reach it,” she said. Listening to music from the “golden era” of reggae music is a normal thing in their household, she added. Reflecting on his inspirations Kairo said that if he could change anything about himself, it would be when and where he was born. “I would have loved to be born in Jamaica during the 1960s, at a time when reggae music was becoming more popular around the world,” said Kairo. As a Canadian reggae artist outside of Jamaica, Kairo said he feels that music needs to return to the “roots” of reggae. He said that music should spread a message about love and peace, not things like violence and hate. “As a black musician in Canada, I have a lot to talk about, and a lot to sing about,” he said. Kairo’s music is about staying positive, despite negative things that we might see in the world. “There are some injustices that I can see in the world and I talk about them because they need to be spoken about,” said Kairo. 24.

The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list. This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded (反弹) because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years. Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a, sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today. “The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said. If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan, would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable. 28. What can be inferred about the wood stork from the text? A. Its population is increasing. B. It has already died out. C. It is widely distributed worldwide. D. It is the most endangered species. 29. What contribute mostly to recovering the population of the wood stork? A. Charity organizations. B. Federal agencies. C. Protections of the ESA. D. Local companies. 30. What is Deb Haaland’s attitude to the delisting of the wood stork? A. Negative. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Positive. 31. What is the best title of the text? A. Effect of the Big Cypress National Preserve Counts B. Saving of the Endangered Wood Stork Progresses C. Efforts to Restore the Wildlife Habitat Pay Off D. Protection of American Native Species Works 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了木鹳由于保护，种群数量增加了两倍，这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》提供的野生动物保护。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.(这些鸟已经适应了新的筑巢区域，近年来，它们的种群数量增加了两倍，从29个增加到99个)”可推知，木鹳的数量在增长。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act(ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are, located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped; preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99% of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.(这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》（ESA）提供的野生动物保护，该法案可以对这些物种所在地区的各种活动施加限制，例如开发、采矿和石油钻探。这一举动救了木鹳，也起了作用；保护和重建整个东南部的重要栖息地，这改善了水质，并使无数以该地区为家的其他物种受益。自1973年以来，《濒危物种法案》拯救了99%的濒危物种，其中100种动植物因恢复或至少稳定而被除名)”可知，ESA的保护最有助于恢复木鹳的数量。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段““The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable, achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.(美国内政部长Deb Haaland说：“拟议中的木鹳摘牌是联邦机构、州和地方政府、部落、保护组织和普通公民为保护和恢复我们最濒危的物种所做的辛勤工作的一个重要里程碑，也是一个了不起的成就。”)”可推知，Deb Haaland对木鹳被摘牌持积极态度。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽) from the endangered species list. (1984年濒临灭绝的木鹳，在佛罗里达州和其他南方州已经恢复到足够的数量。美国野生动物官员建议将水禽从濒危物种名单中删除)”结合文章主要说明了木鹳由于保护，种群数量增加了两倍，这主要归功于《濒危物种法案》提供的野生动物保护。可知，B选项“拯救濒危木鹳的进展”最符合文章标题。故选B。 D Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”. Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult. High school isn’t that easy. Many students are under a lot of stress. Stress can be harmful to a student’s studies and life. Doing sports can help them deal with stress better, helping them live a happier life at school. The American Heart Association says that 10 million kids and teens suffer from obesity (肥胖症). Teens should get 60 minutes of physical activity per day to control their weight and to help their bones get stronger. The increase in activities that don’t get teens to move around, such as video games and computer activities, means many teens don’t get their required exercise. Physical education classes act as a public health measure to encourage activity and help teens have healthy weights. Inactivity increases teens’ risk of developing many diseases. An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towards treating medical conditions that can be hindered by lifestyle changes, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance. Students from programs with no physical activity, who used the extra time for classroom study, did not perform better on tests than those who gave up some study time in support of physical education. 32. What can we know about physical education in high school from paragraph 2? A. It can help teens learn to make good plans. B. It can get teens to encourage adults to exercise. C. It can make teens think much of exercise later. D. It can remove the stress faced by teens at school. 33. What does the underlined word “hindered” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Raised. B. Prevented. C. Shown. D. Adjusted. 34. What does the PCFSN think of doing sports? A. It helps students do better in their studies. B. It means students adjust to their studies better. C. It helps students make good use of all their time. D. It means making students choose between sports and studies. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. How high school students can live a better life. B. How schools can help students love doing sports. C. Why some schools consider physical education important. D. Why high school students should receive physical education. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高中生为什么应该接受体育教育。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Today many people don’t do sports. But as is known to all, doing sports is very important for an adult. Teaching teens the importance of a healthy lifestyle and making fitness plans now can help teens put exercise in the first place as an adult.(现在很多人不做运动。但众所周知，做运动对成年人来说是非常重要的。教育青少年健康生活方式的重要性，制定健身计划，可以帮助青少年在成年后把锻炼放在首位)”可知，高中体育课可以帮助青少年重视以后的锻炼。故选C项。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“An active lifestyle offers a good way of protection from these health problems. As much as 75 percent of health-care spending goes towards treating medical conditions that can be(积极的生活方式是避免这些健康问题的好方法。高达75%的医疗保健支出用于治疗疾病)”及空后“by lifestyle changes(通过生活方式的改变)”可知，积极的生活方式可以避免一些健康问题，故改变生活方式可以预防疾病，故划线词hindered和B项prevented(预防)词义相近。故选B项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“According to the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (PCFSN), students who performed five hours of physical activity each week improved their academic (学业的) performance.(根据总统健身、运动和营养委员会(PCFSN)的数据，每周进行五小时体育活动的学生提高了他们的学习成绩)”可知，做运动意味着帮助学生在学习上做得更好。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。结合全文及文章第一段“Physical education, or gym class, isn’t required for all high school students. In some schools, it isn’t offered for some different reasons. But should high school students have physical education? The answer is certainly “yes”.(并非所有高中生都需要体育课。在一些学校，由于一些不同的原因，它没有被提供。但是高中生应该接受体育教育吗？答案当然是肯定的)”可知，这篇文章主要讲了为什么高中生应该接受体育教育。故选D项。 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。 How to Increase the Speed of Your Internet Connection When using the Internet connection, we often encounter slow Internet speeds, greatly affecting our office efficiency.

Norwin High School in Westmoreland County will see 11 sets of twins receive ____56____ (they) high school diplomas (文凭) at the end of the school year. “You always have a friend around, so it’s like you are never really ____57____ (bore),” student Sophie Bowser told the media, “I always have someone ____58____ (talk) to.” Speaking about being part of the 11 pairs of twins, another student Luke Klamut said, “I’m not sure if this is a record, but it’s ____59____ (extreme) interesting. I’ll graduate with 10 other sets of twins in high school.” Dr. Michael Choby, headmaster of the school, also shared his thoughts on the media. “____60____ spite of the students being twins, they are individuals (个体) with different personalities, ____61____ makes them unique to hang around with at school.” Choby said, “It is my ____62____ (nine) year as the headmaster. I’ve never experienced having so many twins graduate at the same time.” “It’s exciting because of the friendship among the students. I’m also a parent of twins, so I’ll have twins here at Norwin School District, not in high school yet, ____63____ someday,” he added. CBS News also reports that though some twins are set to attend the same college together, others are going separate different ____64____ (direction). “We’re going to try to stick together,” Sophie’s twin Abby Bowser told the media. “This is just a stepping stone. Their futures are going to be extraordinary. I’m excited to just follow from ____65____ distance,” said Choby. 【答案】56. their 57. bored 58. to talk 59. extremely 60.

He looked down at the hospital bills in his hands and tears filled his eyes. His poor mom had been so ill, and here he was complaining and feeling sorry for himself! He should be praying for her recovery, not crying over a lost, childish dream. Andrew was nineteen, and as far back as he could remember, he’d wanted to become a software engineer. That dream became harder to realize after his dad died when Andrew was twelve. His mom had been left to bring him up on her own, and it was hard to make ends meet. So Andrew started doing part-time jobs. Andrew put away every cent he earned for going to college. When he was sixteen, he got a summer job at a local IT company, where his insight (洞察力) and intelligence caught the owner’s eye. Mr. Lewis, the CEO, made Andrew the assistant of his best and most innovative developer and the boy continuously grew on the challenge. He couldn’t wait to go to college! Unfortunately, when Andrew was in his senior high year, his mother became very ill. The usually energetic woman was constantly feeling tired and in pain. She went from doctor to doctor, but no one knew exactly what was the matter with her. They sent her off to do dozens of expensive tests, and then shook their heads over the results. Andrew’s mom started getting weaker and weaker and thinner and thinner until she could hardly walk. Andrew added the medical bills up and was in a great shock. They owed the hospital over $23,000! He pulled out his bank book. He had in his savings account almost $30,000, which he had painstakingly (艰苦地) saved up for years. He’d be able to use this money to go to college, but his mom’s health was more important. 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。 The next day, Andrew went to see Mr. Lewis. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That night, Mr. Lewis appeared on Andrew’s doorstep. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Andrew went to see Mr. Lewis. He asked Mr. Lewis if he could have a full-time job in his company. Mr. Lewis looked at him for a long time and angrily said “No!” Shocked and disappointed, Andrew still said “Thank you!” and left quickly. He went straight to the hospital and paid off his mother’s medical bills. His savings account was now almost empty, but his mother had great news. The doctors said his mother’s disease could be treated, which made Andrew pretty relieved. That night, Mr. Lewis appeared on Andrew’s doorstep. “Andrew,” he said softly, “I apologize for the way I spoke to you this morning. I refused your request for a good reason. You’re bright and talented and I want you to go to college. My company will pay for your tuition on condition that you work for me after graduation.” Hearing this, Andrew was moved beyond words. He happily accepted the offer and thanked Mr. Lewis heartily. He did very well in college. After graduation, he started working for Mr. Lewis. The company became more than just Andrew’s workplace; it became his second family! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了安德鲁自幼梦想成为软件工程师，父亲去世后，他努力存钱准备上大学。然而，母亲重病，为支付高额医疗费用，他面临放弃大学梦想的困境。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，安德鲁去见刘易斯先生。”可知，第一段可描写安德鲁向刘易斯先生寻求全职工作展开，刘易斯先生拒绝，安德鲁虽失望仍支付母亲医疗费，同时传来母亲病情可治的好消息 ②由第二段首句内容“那天晚上，刘易斯先生出现在安德鲁家门口。”可知，第二段可描写刘易斯先生前来解释上午拒绝原因，提出公司资助安德鲁上大学，条件是毕业后为公司工作，安德鲁感动并接受，后来在大学表现出色，毕业后入职公司。 2.续写线索：Andrew见Lewis先生——请求工作被拒——支付母亲医疗费——得知母亲可治愈——Lewis先生登门道歉——提出资助上大学条件——Andrew接受并学成归来——实现人生理想 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①拒绝：refuse/reject ②道歉：apologize /make an apology ③接受：accept /take 情感类： ①失望的：disappointed /frustrated ②感动的：moved /touched 【点睛】[高分句型1] He asked Mr. Lewis if he could have a full-time job in his company.（运用了if引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] My company will pay for your tuition on condition that you work for me after graduation.（运用了on condition that 引导的条件状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Adam, what kind of fruit do you want?
