They were all created from hard surfaces, their edges softening over time. And I wonder, can we learn from a pile of rocks? Even the tallest mountains have worn down; none are as tall as they were 1,000 years ago. And much like a rock. I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. Once I too was a sharp rock covered in pointy edges. Today, after decades of the waters of life coursing over me, my edges are softer and more understanding. I’m less likely to judge and more interested in learning how we can exist together. But I’m not a rock. I’m a human-being filled with all the drama built into my DNA. Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant. We don’t like it either, but let’s all do what we can.” But the guy tried to argue about the note. I sat watching. understanding both sides. I’ve been this guy before, using my youthful edges to chip away at the world. What I lost, however, was the ability to grow by looking through others’ eyes, and thus the possibility of finding content and success. You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view. I placed a rounded stone into my pocket. Mother Nature is holding class again. 1. What does the author compare the rocks to? A. People with varied personalities. B. DNA unique to each person. C. Challenges that we come across. D. Our abilities that grows with time. 2. What caused the argument in the restaurant? A. Lack of clarity in the sign. B. The owner’s inappropriate attitude. C. Demanding restaurant requests. D. The guy’s failing to obey the rules. 3. Which best describes the author’s attitude toward the world when he was young? A. Respectful. B. Aggressive. C. Ambiguous. D. Tolerant. 4. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. We should adjust ourselves to new conditions. B. Be brave when in the face of difficulties in life. C. It’s necessary to obey the rules in public spaces. D Being open and understanding brings satisfaction. B Researchers at the University of Exeter in England have crafted a device that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Asian wasps (黄蜂). AI refers to the capability of computers to learn from experiences and execute tasks swiftly that would typically require a significant time investment from humans. Asian wasps are considered an invasive species. indicating that they are not native to the UK and can disrupt our ecosystem — the environment and its living organisms. These wasps feed on local insects and pose a significant threat to honey bees with a single wasp capable of killing up to 50 honey bees in a day. The innovative system, named VespAI, uses a sponge cloth soaked with a liquid that attracts wasps. Once the wasps are drawn in an automatic camera takes pictures of them. The AI then analyzes the photos to determine whether the insect is an Asian wasp or a European wasp, which is a native species. If an Asian wasp is spotted, a notification is sent right away to the researcher’s phone or computer. VespAI acts as an early-warning system, allowing for the detection of any Asian wasps that may have entered a new area of the UK. Its high precision helps authorities respond quickly to follow the wasps, find their nests, and get rid of them before they can reproduce. There is growing concern among experts that Asian wasps may have made a lasting home in the UK rather than being merely transient or accidental arrivals. Currently, the UK’s way of dealing with Asian wasps depends on people seeing them, recognizing them, and reporting them. However, many of these reports turn out to be other kinds of insects, which is not a very effective way to handle the situation. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wbeller, who worked on VespAI, said this new system won’t mistake other insects for Asian wasps or miss them when they come around. VespAI has been tested on the island of Jersey and will be tried in other places this year. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. VespAI’s design and operation. B. The effectiveness of wasps traps. C. VespAI’s influence on ecosystem. D. Traditional wasp detecting methods. 6. What does the underlined word “transient” mean in paragraph5? A. Widespread. B. Temporary. C. Frequent. D. Dangerous. 7. Which statement Would Dr. Thomas probably agree with? A. VespAI will help manage wasp invasions. B. VespAI requires constant human inspection. C. The current reporting system is highly effective. D. The current methods fail to identify Asian wasps. 8. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Disrupts the Survival of Insects B. The Threat of Asian Wasps to Bees C. AI Technology Boosts Wasp Detection D. The Impact of Al on Insect Identification C Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today. The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately. Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now. 9. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history. C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society. 10. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2? A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects. C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow. D. Resolutions of the current international issues. 11. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with? A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well. B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum. C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools. D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history. 12. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean? A. The historical sense can help us differentiate the news. B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate. C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical. D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects. 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。 Sometimes painful experiences are just painful.

I’ve found my attitude has softened and my desire to better understand others has expanded with each trip around the sun. (即使是最高的山也已磨损；没有一座像一千年前那么高。和这些岩石很像，我发现我的态度软化了，而随着每一次的旅行，我也更渴望能去更好地了解他人) ”可知，作者把岩石比成有着各自性格的人。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。文章第六段讲到“Two years ago, while traveling in the Pacific Northwest, I watched a restaurant owner ask a guy to leave for not falling in line with the rules. Not forceful and net rude. On the door read a sign: “Please wear a mask before entering our restaurant.

(我也曾是一块边缘锐利的尖石）”可知，作者年轻时是有棱有角的性格，态度比较激进好斗。故选B项。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。从文章倒数第二段“You can fit more rounded rocks in a jar than those with sharp edges. The former look for ways to adjust and make room for others; the latter never give an inch to accommodate others. Time, like the waters rolling against once sharp stones, changes us by washing away our resistance to seeing the world from another’s point of view. (圆的石头比棱角分明的石头更容易装进罐子里。前者想办法调整自己，为他人腾出空间；后者从不让步迁就别人。时间就像水流冲刷着尖锐的石头，冲走我们对从别人的角度看世界的抗拒，从而改变了我们）”可知，作者通过本文传达的应是“开放和理解的态度将使我们获得满意”。故选D项。 B Researchers at the University of Exeter in England have crafted a device that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Asian wasps (黄蜂). AI refers to the capability of computers to learn from experiences and execute tasks swiftly that would typically require a significant time investment from humans. Asian wasps are considered an invasive species. indicating that they are not native to the UK and can disrupt our ecosystem — the environment and its living organisms. These wasps feed on local insects and pose a significant threat to honey bees with a single wasp capable of killing up to 50 honey bees in a day. The innovative system, named VespAI, uses a sponge cloth soaked with a liquid that attracts wasps. Once the wasps are drawn in an automatic camera takes pictures of them. The AI then analyzes the photos to determine whether the insect is an Asian wasp or a European wasp, which is a native species. If an Asian wasp is spotted, a notification is sent right away to the researcher’s phone or computer. VespAI acts as an early-warning system, allowing for the detection of any Asian wasps that may have entered a new area of the UK. Its high precision helps authorities respond quickly to follow the wasps, find their nests, and get rid of them before they can reproduce. There is growing concern among experts that Asian wasps may have made a lasting home in the UK rather than being merely transient or accidental arrivals. Currently, the UK’s way of dealing with Asian wasps depends on people seeing them, recognizing them, and reporting them. However, many of these reports turn out to be other kinds of insects, which is not a very effective way to handle the situation. Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wbeller who worked on VespAI, said this new system won’t mistake other insects for Asian wasps or miss them when they come around. VespAI has been tested on the island of Jersey and will be tried in other places this year. 5. What does paragraph 3 mainly focus on? A. VespAI’s design and operation. B. The effectiveness of wasps traps. C. VespAI’s influence on ecosystem. D. Traditional wasp detecting methods. 6. What does the underlined word “transient” mean in paragraph5? A. Widespread. B. Temporary. C. Frequent. D. Dangerous. 7. Which statement Would Dr. Thomas probably agree with? A. VespAI will help manage wasp invasions. B. VespAI requires constant human inspection. C. The current reporting system is highly effective. D. The current methods fail to identify Asian wasps. 8. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. AI Disrupts the Survival of Insects B. The Threat of Asian Wasps to Bees C. AI Technology Boosts Wasp Detection D. The Impact of Al on Insect Identification 【答案】5. A 6. B 7. A 8. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了AI技术如何用于黄蜂检测。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第三段“The innovative system, named VespAI, uses a sponge cloth soaked with a liquid that attracts wasps.（这个创新的系统被命名为VespAI，它用海绵布浸泡了一种吸引黄蜂的液体。）”介绍了这一系统的设计；“Once the wasps are drawn in an automatic camera takes pictures of them. The AI then analyzes the photos to determine whether the insect is an Asian wasp or a European wasp, which is a native species.（一旦黄蜂被吸进去，自动相机就会给它们拍照。然后，人工智能分析照片，确定昆虫是亚洲黄蜂还是本土物种欧洲黄蜂。）”介绍了这一系统的操作过程，故选项A“VespAI的设计和操作”为第三段的主要内容。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前文“There is growing concern among experts that Asian wasps may have made a lasting home in the UK (专家们越来越担心亚洲黄蜂可能已经在英国建立了持久的家园)”和“rather than(而不是)”以及后文“or accidental arrivals(或意外抵达)”可知，亚洲黄蜂可能已经在英国建立了一个持久的家园，而不仅仅是短暂或意外的到来。划线词transient应与前文lasting (持续的，长期的) 词意相反，故transient应意为“短暂的，暂时的”；选项B的temporary意为“暂时的，临时的”，符合题意。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。从文章最后一段“Dr. Thomas O’Shea-Wbeller, who worked on VespAI, said this new system won’t mistake other insects for Asian wasps or miss them when they come around. （研究VespAI的Thomas O’Shea-Wbeller博士称，这个新系统不会把其他昆虫误认为是亚洲黄蜂，也不会在它们来的时候错过它们。）”可知，Dr. Thomas认为VespAI系统是可靠的，将对人们应对黄蜂侵袭起到帮助作用，选项A“VespAI系统将帮助人们对付黄蜂侵袭”这一说法是Dr. Thomas可能会认同的。故选A。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。从本文第一段“Researchers at the University of Exeter in England have crafted a device that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to detect Asian wasps.（英国埃克塞特大学的研究人员发明了一种利用人工智能探测亚洲黄蜂的设备）及全文的描述可知，本文主要介绍AI科技应用于黄蜂探测，故选项C“AI科技推动黄蜂探测”作为本文标题是最合适的。故选C。 C Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. And yet that is exactly the situation in which we find ourselves today. The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection: Whose stories will we stand up for? What values will we defend? What models will we offer following generations? In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. The implications of ignorance of what have happened are incredible, but the ignorance itself isn’t entirely surprising given the lowered status of history in most schools. The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately. Clearly, in an age of “fake news”, engaged citizens need to be culturally literate, critical thinkers. There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. So should there be now. 9. What is the situation the author mentioned in paragraph 1? A. The fear of the past. B. The ignorance of history. C. The exclusion of the present. D. The dissatisfaction of society. 10. What does the author mainly stress in paragraph 2? A. Consequences of overlooking history. B. Significance of mastering all subjects. C. Insights from history for today and tomorrow. D. Resolutions of the current international issues. 11. Which one of the following ideas might Dr. Bain agree with? A. Critical thinking is key to studying history well. B. Schools should enhance the status of history curriculum. C. Ignorance of history is not as terrible as expected in schools. D. Geography proves more meaningful and practical than history. 12. What does the underlined sentence “So should there be now.” mean? A The historical sense can help us differentiate the news. B. People are dissatisfied with graduates’ ability to calculate. C. We should make history curriculum more logical and critical. D. We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects. 【答案】9. B 10. C 11. B 12. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。讨论了在现代社会发展中，培养历史感的重要性，以及历史教育的重要意义。文章呼吁将历史教育纳入更加合理的课程体系中，历史感的建立有助于培养学生的批判性思维以及理解世界的能力。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Imagining a human being without historical sense is scary. The thought of living exclusively in a present moment is scary. Scarier still is the thought of an entire generation, not to mention society, operating with a lack of a sense of history. (想象一个没有历史感的人是可怕的。只活在当下的想法是可怕的。更可怕的是，整整一代人，更不用说整个社会，在缺乏历史感的情况下运作。)”可知，作者在第一段提到了人们对历史的无知。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The people and events of history may be rooted in the past, but how we talk about those things, what we write about them, and how we teach them—in other words, how we practise history as the record of human experience—tell us a lot about who we are and what we value right now. Thinking of ourselves as a chapter in an as-yet unwritten history book, on the other hand, is likely to force deeper self-reflection (历史上的人物和事件可能植根于过去，但我们如何谈论这些事情，我们如何写它们，以及我们如何教授它们——换句话说，我们如何将历史作为人类经历的记录来实践——告诉我们很多关于我们是谁以及我们现在看重什么。另一方面，把自己想象成一本尚未书写的历史书中的一个章节，可能会迫使我们进行更深层次的自我反思)”以及“In an era of environmental change, rising inequality and great shifts in the international political context, we need to understand how our institutions have developed. History gives us power. No other subject helps us to understand so comprehensively what it is to be human. (在一个环境变化、不平等加剧、国际政治环境发生巨大变化的时代，我们需要了解我们的制度是如何发展起来的。历史赋予我们力量。没有其他学科能如此全面地帮助我们理解什么是人类。)”可知，作者在第二段主要强调了历史对今天和明天的洞见。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“The discipline of history has become sidelined (边缘化). “History fights for its place in the curriculum with geography,” Dr. Bain observed, “but its attention to time, place and context is what makes it really distinct.” In other words, history doesn’t simply tell us how to be good citizens: It equips us with the knowledge we need to comprehend our world clearly, and the ability to analyze it accurately.(历史学科已经靠边站了。“历史与地理在课程中争夺自己的位置，”贝恩博士说，“但它对时间、地点和背景的关注使它真正与众不同。”换句话说，历史不仅仅告诉我们如何成为好公民：它还让我们具备了清晰理解世界所需的知识，以及准确分析世界的能力)”可知，历史是如此的重要，学校应该提高历史课程的地位。故选B。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段“There is no better subject than history to develop an appreciation of context and an ability to look for evidence. We should expect a logical history curriculum for our children. If it were common to hear graduates claim that they’d never learned to add, subtract, multiply and divide, there would be a severe protest. (没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了。我们应该为我们的孩子准备一个合乎逻辑的历史课程。如果经常听到毕业生声称他们从未学过加减乘除，那一定会引起强烈的抗议)”可知，没有比历史更适合培养对背景的鉴赏能力和寻找证据的能力了，我们应该重视历史学科，应该和数学等其它学科一样对待。划线处和D项：We should pay the same attention to history as to other subjects.(我们对待历史应该像对待其他学科一样重视)合乎题意。故选D。 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。 Sometimes painful experiences are just painful. And that's OK, too. A large body of research shows that ideas such as growth mindset, gratitude and understanding meaning of struggle can promote wellbeing. However, there are times when what you are going through is so painful that trying to follow such ideas holds back, rather than helps, your healing(愈合). ____13____ It turns out that in times of great pain, our wisest choice is not to find meaning or growth in our experience. ____14____ Pain and suffering are often followed by meaning, but sometimes that meaning comes days, weeks or even years after the experience. For particularly challenging or painful experiences, you may need time to make an appropriate response. ____15____ If you are going to experience growth and meaning, learn to wait patiently. When you are in the thick of pain, meaning can feel difficult to understand. ____16____ But with time and distance, meaning often appears, even when you least expect it. The most important thing to do in great suffering is to release yourself from any expectations altogether. Be patient and be kind to yourself. Seek help and social support. It's great if you find immediate meaning and growth in your experience. But if not, that's OK too. ____17____ A. Trying to force it usually backfires. B. It takes great energy to make sense of it C. Perhaps the real growth is learning to let it be. D. The result is that you feel worse about yourself. E. Instead, simply focusing on getting through is enough. F. The more challenging the experience, the longer it takes. G. You can hardly gain wellbeing from extreme sorrow or bad condition 【答案】13. D 14. E 15. F 16. A 17. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在经历中寻找意义和成长很难，即使在经历中没有找到直接的意义和成长也没关系，因为真正的成长是学会顺其自然。 【13题详解】 根据空前“A large body of research shows that ideas such as growth mindset, gratitude and understanding meaning of struggle can promote wellbeing. However, there are times when what you are going through is so painful that trying to follow such ideas holds back, rather than helps, your healing(愈合).(大量的研究表明，成长心态、感恩和理解努力的意义等想法可以促进幸福感。但是，有时你所经历的事如此痛苦以至于试图遵循这些想法会阻碍而不是帮助你恢复。)”可知，空前提到所经历的事情太痛苦，从而遵循成长心态、感恩和理解努力的意义等想法会阻碍你的恢复，故D项“结果就是你感觉更糟糕。”符合，说明经历的事情太痛苦，然而那些想法会阻碍你的恢复，从而结果就是你感觉更糟糕，故选D项。 【14题详解】 根据空前“It turns out that in times of great pain, our wisest choice is not to find meaning or growth in our experience.(结果表明，在痛苦的时候，我们最明智的选择不是在我们经历中寻找意义或成长。)”可知，空前提到在痛苦的时候，我们的选择不是在经历中去寻找意义或成长，故E项“相反，仅仅专注于克服目前的困难就足够了。”符合，空前提到我们明智的选择不是去寻找成长，此空解释应该怎么做，应该专注于克服目前的困难的时候就可以，故选E项。 【15题详解】 根据空前“For particularly challenging or painful experiences, you may need time to make an appropriate response.(对于特别具有挑战性或者痛苦的经历，你可能需要时间做出适当的回应。)”可知，F项“经历越具有挑战性，需要的时间就越长。”是前文的顺义承接，特别具有挑战性的经历，需要花时间去做出适当的回应，经历越具有挑战性，需要的时间就越长，故选F项。 【16题详解】 根据空前“When you are in the thick of pain, meaning can feel difficult to understand.(当你深陷痛苦时，你会觉得难以理解其中的含义。)”和空后“But with time and distance, meaning often appears, even when you least expect it.(但是随着时间和距离的推移，意义往往会出现，即使是在你最不期待的时候。)”可知，空前提到深陷痛苦时，很难理解其中的意义，空后转折，提到随着时间和距离的推移，意义会出现，故此处应承接前文，故A项“强迫会适得其反。”符合，深陷痛苦时，很难理解其中的意义，且强迫更会适得其反，但随着时间和距离的推移，意义往往会出现，故选A项。 【17题详解】 根据空前“It's great if you find immediate meaning and growth in your experience. But if not, that's OK too.(如果你在经历中找到了直接的意义和成长，那就太好了。但如果没有，那也没关系。)”可知，空前提如果在经历中没有找到直接的意义和成长也没关系，故C项“也许真正的成长是学会顺其自然”符合，承接前文，即使在经历中没有找到直接的意义和成长也没关系，也许真正的成长是学会顺其自然，故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用 (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) 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 I remember a moment when I felt like everything was falling apart.

Taking pictures of polar bears is amazing but also dangerous.Polar bears-like all wild animals－should be photographed from a safe distance.When I'm face to face with a polar bear,I like it to be through a camera with a telephoto lens.But sometimes,that is easier said than done.This was one of those times. As Elli and I cooked dinner,a young male polar bear who was playing in a nearby lake sniffed, and smelled our garlic bread. The hungry bear followed his nose to our camp,which was surrounded by a high wire fence.He pulled and bit the wire.He stood on his back legs and pushed at the wooden fence posts. Terrified,Elli and I tried all the bear defense actions we knew.We yelled at the bear,hit pots hard, and fired blank shotgun shells into the air Sometimes loud noises like these will scare bears off.Not this polar bear though-he just kept trying to tear down the fence with his massive paws(爪子） I radioed the camp manager for help.He told me a helicopter was on its way,but it would be 30 minutes before it arrived.Making the best of this close encounter(相遇），I took some pictures or the bear. Eilt and I feared the fence wouldn't last through 30 more minutes of the bear's punishment.The camp manager suggested I use pepper spray.The spray burns the bears' eyes,but doesn't hurt them. So I approached our uninvited guest slowly and.through the fence,sprayed him in the face.With an angry roar(吼叫），the bear ran to the lake to wash his eyes. Para 1. A few minutes later,the bear headed back to our camp. Para 2. At that very moment,the helicopter arrived. 【答案】A few minutes later, the bear headed back to our camp. Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness. The noises turned Elli and I pale with horror. I feared that the giant would destroy our whole fence. He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence. Elli seized this opportunity to take somepictures of the bear. The animal’s noises echoed all around us. We betrayed our feelings by huddling together, shivering with fear. After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, he trotted forward a few steps. At that very moment, the helicopter arrived. My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved. Elli used pepper spray again to buy us enough time. But this time the bear became more alert. He regarded us with the merciless necessity of hunger, so we throw all the food we have. He then turned away and started devouring. As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound. 【解析】 【分析】本文主要讲述了人与熊对抗，之后成功脱险的故事。 【详解】主人公的感情线变化为：兴奋渴望→惊恐→放松。剧情线以主人公如何与北极熊周旋并成功摆脱它展开。具体思路如下： 由第一段的段首提示句可知：几分钟后，熊又回到营地。接下来可通过场景渲染，描写当时令人颤栗惊恐的画面，例如“Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.”这不仅合理地描写了熊的反应，也描绘出让人战栗的场景。要注意与第二段首句的衔接。 由第二段的段首提示句可知：此时，直升机到了。如果想要进行续写两段的合理衔接，第一段的结尾可描写成“After thoroughly scrutinizing the area, the bear trotted forward a few steps.”这样可以营造出危急的场景。“我们”看到直升机的到来，感到绝处逢生的喜悦，可以以人物心理描写作为第二段的开头，重点描写喜极而泣的状态，例如“My heart leaped with joy as I knew we were likely to be saved.”最后，结尾部分需要迅速收束，并说明成功逃脱的结局。 【点睛】本文续写内容与原文高度契合，使用了高级词汇和句子，尤其突出的是，场景和心理描写传神到位，如：Roars and screams pierced the silence with needle-like shrillness.，又如He roared repeatedly, shattering what was left of the silence.，这不仅合理地描写了熊的动作，也渲染出让人战栗的场景，让读者有极强的代入感；再如As we were climbing the rope ladder, Elli prayed like thousand times to show thankfulness of being safe and sound.传神地描绘出了Elli对于绝处逢生感到难以言表的喜悦和对救援的感激之情，等等。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
