B Students at Sedro-Woolley High School in Washington State are abandoning the traditional woodshop projects for something a little more hands-on: Building tiny houses for their homeless neighbours. Students in the school’s Core Plus Construction class have been building the homes from the ground up in a partnership with the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) in Seattle. LIHI is a homeless solutions nonprofit that has been building tiny house shelters since 2015, as a response to the homelessness crisis in Seattle and neighbouring cities. The student-assembled homes are placed in communities operated by LIHI, many of which are in the heart of Seattle. Individuals are then assigned to the temporary structures, with central facilities, like kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry services are available to share. Tiny houses offer great benefits over tents — they are safe, weatherproof and lockable. They allow programme participants to reclaim their dignity and get on a path to permanent housing, employment and connection to supportive services. But the benefits go beyond shelter. The hands-on project is a game-changer for students, who get to learn practical construction and problem-solving skills, as well as invaluable safety awareness. One student, senior Kylin Chance has taken two years of welding (焊接) and is one of the two girls working on the home-building project. “There’s always something to do, and it keeps me busy,” Chance said. “I’ve learned about different tools, like a hand plane and a handheld saw. They’re making me do a lot of the finishing work because I have a steadier hand. Plus, it’s much cooler than maths or history. It’s fun to hang out with friends and learn how to build houses.” In total, 20 students in class work on the homes every day, building under the school’s stadium bleachers (看台). The homes are painted in royal blue and white — Sedro-Woolley’s colours — to bring a little school pride into Seattle. 4. Why did the students abandon traditional woodshop projects? A. To focus on academic courses. B. To take up a charitable mission. C. To save costs for the school district. D. To gain experience for future careers. 5. How do tiny houses improve the lives of homeless individuals? A. By promoting their awareness of saving. B. By connecting them to high-paying jobs. C. By restoring their dignity and normal life. D. By allowing them to buy their own homes. 6. What does Kylin Chance think of working with LIHI? A. It’s stressful. B. It’s challenging. C. It’s profitable. D. It’s rewarding. 7. Why are the tiny houses painted royal blue and white? A. To obey Seattle’s city regulations. B. To make the houses more appealing. C. To express school spirit and identity. D. To attract corporate sponsors for the project. C What does “critical thinking” mean? Well, that depends on who you ask. For educators, as a term, critical thinking is similar to words like democracy, global, and organic: You hear people use them all the time, but no one seems to understand exactly what they mean. Critical thinking is among the first causes for change (personal and social) but is a pariah in schools — for no other reason than it conditions the mind to suspect the form and function of everything it sees, including your classroom and everything being taught in it. Of course, critical thinking without knowledge is embarrassingly empty, like a farmer without a field. They need each other — thought and knowledge. They can also disappear into one another as they work. Once we’ve established that — that they’re separate, capable of merging (融合), and need one another — we can get at the marrow (精华) and fear of this whole thing. So what’s the definition of critical thinking? It depends on who you ask but most definitions are something close to this: Critical thinking is the suspension of judgment while identifying biases and underlying assumptions in order to draw accurate conclusions. Critical thinking is that mode of thinking — about any subject, content, or problem — in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing it. Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It is preconditioned by agreeing to strict standards of excellence and taking care to use those standards. It requires effective communication and problem-solving skills. But more than definition and clarification, we need contextualization — to look around the term as we use it and see when and how it’s used, and what kind of reaction it causes when that happens. Here, there’s a lot to look at: how to teach it, how to assess it, what role it plays in the learning process, how to use it in misleading school mission statements, how to casually drop it in classroom walkthroughs or walkthrough documents. 8. What is critical thinking in the eyes of teachers? A. A common concept. B. An education-only phrase. C. A widely used unclear term. D. A term confusing students. 9. What does the underlined word “pariah” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Something dangerous. B. Something desirable. C. Something essential. D. Something unpopular. 10. What is the foundation of critical thinking? A. Knowledge. B. Technology. C. Productivity. D. Field. 11. Who is most likely to be the target audience for this article? A. profession seekers. B. Course designers. C. Thoughtful parents. D. Self-learning students. D People living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods may be more likely to develop dementia (痴呆症) than people living in neighbourhoods with fewer disadvantages, according to a new study published. The study does not prove that neighbourhood factors cause dementia; it only shows an association. Neighbourhood status is determined by factors such as income, employment, education and disability. “Our findings show that the community in which you live influences your risk of developing dementia,” said study author Pankaja Desai, PhD, of Rush University in Chicago, Illinois. “Most studies of risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) focus on the individual level, not the community level. Of course, intervening at the community level is challenging, but prioritizing disadvantaged communities may be an effective way to mobilize resources for older adults and provide avenues (途径) for reducing the risk of dementia for the overall community.” The study involved 6,781 people with an average age of 72 living in four communities in Chicago. Tests of thinking and memory skills were given at the beginning of the study and every three years for at least six years of follow-up. A group of 2,534 people were evaluated for dementia. Researchers looked at US Census tracts (人口普查区) of the four neighbourhoods based on amount of disadvantage. By the end of the study, 11% of the people in the tracts with the least disadvantage had developed Alzheimer’s disease, compared to 14% in the tracts with the next lowest disadvantage, 17% in the tracts with next-to-highest amount of disadvantage and 22% in the tracts with the highest amount of disadvantage. Once researchers adjusted for other factors that could affect the risk of dementia, such as age, sex and education, they found that people in the tracts with the most disadvantage were more than twice as likely to develop dementia as those in the tracts with the least disadvantage. A limitation of the study was that participants all lived in Chicago neighbourhoods, so the results may not apply to other populations. 12. What does the study primarily indicate about neighbourhood disadvantages? A. They only affect individuals under 70. B. They may increase the risk of dementia. C. They have no impact on cognitive health. D. They directly cause Alzheimer’s disease. 13. How does the author present the findings? A. By raising a question. B. By analyzing causes. C. By giving an example. D. By listing some figures. 14. What are researchers most likely to do in the next stage? A. Expand the study to other regions. B. Make their findings known to more. C. Target individual-level interventions. D. Focus on genetic factors in dementia risk. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Dementia Rates Vary Across Different Cities B. Factors Causing Dementia Identified in a New Study C Neighbourhood Disadvantages Linked to Dementia Risk D. Community-Level Interventions for Dementia Prevention 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 Always Be Happy It is normal to feel happier at certain times than others, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a consistent pattern of contentment, satisfaction, and gratitude in your life.

With my son’s occasional repetitive sounds and my daughter’s excited chatter, the little two can get quite loud in public. I’ve grown used to the curious glances and whispered comments — those small, unspoken judgments that make me feel like an outsider sometimes. But nothing prepared me for the rudeness I encountered at a Trader Joe’s last month. I’d stopped by the store after a chaotic morning of therapy (治疗) appointments, hoping to grab groceries quickly. The cashier barely looked up as she scanned my items, slamming (用力一放) my bread onto the conveyor belt and sighing loudly when I fished for my wallet. “Hurry up, please,” she urged impatiently in a low voice. Shocked, I left the store with my kids, keeping asking myself, “What did I do to deserve such treatment?” After a while of reflection, I realized that the cashier was probably having an exceptionally bad day, and I just happened to be the unfortunate one she let it out on. Instead of letting this single negative experience sour my opinion of the entire grocery chain, I decided to give it another shot. So, I ventured to a different Trader Joe’s location on the opposite side of town. As soon as I stepped inside, I realized I was completely unfamiliar with the store’s layout. I approached an employee and asked for assistance. Before I could even fully explain my situation, the employee greeted us with a warm smile and an incredibly kind manner. I couldn’t help but open up about my previous bad experience at the other store. The employee listened attentively and then reassured me, “This is your new store. We’ll make sure you have a great experience here, no matter what.” They even took the time to show me where they kept their delicious coffee, as if to say, “Let’s start this new shopping journey on a positive note.” 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。 When I finally reached the register, the staff assisting me stepped away for a moment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the flowers, all my previous unhappiness faded away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 机密★启用前 河南省新未来2025～2026学年高三年级12月质量检测 英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将条形码解答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2B铅笔把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，再选涂其他答案标号;回答非选择题时，用0.5 mm的黑色字迹签字笔将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 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。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Students in the school’s Core Plus Construction class have been building the homes from the ground up in a partnership with the Low Income Housing Institute (LIHI) in Seattle. LIHI is a homeless solutions nonprofit that has been building tiny house shelters since 2015, as a response to the homelessness crisis in Seattle and neighbouring cities. The student-assembled homes are placed in communities operated by LIHI, many of which are in the heart of Seattle. Individuals are then assigned to the temporary structures, with central facilities, like kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry services are available to share. Tiny houses offer great benefits over tents — they are safe, weatherproof and lockable. They allow programme participants to reclaim their dignity and get on a path to permanent housing, employment and connection to supportive services. But the benefits go beyond shelter. The hands-on project is a game-changer for students, who get to learn practical construction and problem-solving skills, as well as invaluable safety awareness. One student, senior Kylin Chance has taken two years of welding (焊接) and is one of the two girls working on the home-building project. “There’s always something to do, and it keeps me busy,” Chance said. “I’ve learned about different tools, like a hand plane and a handheld saw. They’re making me do a lot of the finishing work because I have a steadier hand. Plus, it’s much cooler than maths or history. It’s fun to hang out with friends and learn how to build houses.” In total, 20 students in class work on the homes every day, building under the school’s stadium bleachers (看台). The homes are painted in royal blue and white — Sedro-Woolley’s colours — to bring a little school pride into Seattle. 4. Why did the students abandon traditional woodshop projects? A. To focus on academic courses. B. To take up a charitable mission. C. To save costs for the school district. D. To gain experience for future careers. 5. How do tiny houses improve the lives of homeless individuals? A. By promoting their awareness of saving. B. By connecting them to high-paying jobs. C. By restoring their dignity and normal life. D. By allowing them to buy their own homes. 6. What does Kylin Chance think of working with LIHI? A. It’s stressful. B. It’s challenging. C. It’s profitable. D. It’s rewarding. 7. Why are the tiny houses painted royal blue and white? A. To obey Seattle’s city regulations. B. To make the houses more appealing. C. To express school spirit and identity. D. To attract corporate sponsors for the project. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了华盛顿州塞德罗-伍利高中的学生们放弃了传统的木工项目，转而从事一些更实际的工作：为无家可归的邻居建造小房子。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Students at Sedro-Woolley High School in Washington State are abandoning the traditional woodshop projects for something a little more hands-on: Building tiny houses for their homeless neighbours.(华盛顿州塞杜-伍利高中的一批学生放弃了传统的木工课项目，转而投身于一项更具动手性质的活动：为当地无家可归者建造小型房屋)”可知，华盛顿州塞德罗-伍利高中的学生们放弃了传统的木工项目的目的是为了承担慈善任务。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They allow programme participants to reclaim their dignity and get on a path to permanent housing, employment and connection to supportive services.(它们使项目参与者能够重拾自尊，并踏上获得永久性住房、找到工作以及获得支持性服务的正轨)”可知，该项目使得这些无家可归的人能恢复尊严，生活回归正常。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“They’re making me do a lot of the finishing work because I have a steadier hand. Plus, it’s much cooler than maths or history. It’s fun to hang out with friends and learn how to build houses.(他们让我承担了很多收尾工作，因为我手比较稳。而且，这比数学和历史有趣多了。和朋友们一起出去玩，还能学习如何建造房屋，真是一件乐事)”可知，Kylin Chance认为与LIHI合作很有意义，是值得做的。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The homes are painted in royal blue and white — Sedro-Woolley’s colours — to bring a little school pride into Seattle.(这些房屋被漆成了皇家蓝色和白色——这是塞杜-伍利高中的校色——以此为西雅图增添些许学校的自豪感)”可知，房屋被漆成皇家蓝和白色——Sedro-woolley的颜色——为西雅图带来一点学校的自豪感。故选C。 C What does “critical thinking” mean? Well, that depends on who you ask. For educators, as a term, critical thinking is similar to words like democracy, global, and organic: You hear people use them all the time, but no one seems to understand exactly what they mean. Critical thinking is among the first causes for change (personal and social) but is a pariah in schools — for no other reason than it conditions the mind to suspect the form and function of everything it sees, including your classroom and everything being taught in it. Of course, critical thinking without knowledge is embarrassingly empty, like a farmer without a field. They need each other — thought and knowledge. They can also disappear into one another as they work. Once we’ve established that — that they’re separate, capable of merging (融合), and need one another — we can get at the marrow (精华) and fear of this whole thing. So what’s the definition of critical thinking? It depends on who you ask but most definitions are something close to this: Critical thinking is the suspension of judgment while identifying biases and underlying assumptions in order to draw accurate conclusions. Critical thinking is that mode of thinking — about any subject, content, or problem — in which the thinker improves the quality of his or her thinking by skillfully analyzing, assessing, and reconstructing it. Critical thinking is self-directed, self-disciplined, self-monitored, and self-corrective thinking. It is preconditioned by agreeing to strict standards of excellence and taking care to use those standards. It requires effective communication and problem-solving skills. But more than definition and clarification, we need contextualization — to look around the term as we use it and see when and how it’s used, and what kind of reaction it causes when that happens. Here, there’s a lot to look at: how to teach it, how to assess it, what role it plays in the learning process, how to use it in misleading school mission statements, how to casually drop it in classroom walkthroughs or walkthrough documents. 8. What is critical thinking in the eyes of teachers? A. A common concept. B. An education-only phrase. C. A widely used unclear term. D. A term confusing students. 9. What does the underlined word “pariah” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Something dangerous. B. Something desirable. C. Something essential. D. Something unpopular. 10. What is the foundation of critical thinking? A. Knowledge. B. Technology. C. Productivity. D. Field. 11. Who is most likely to be the target audience for this article? A profession seekers. B. Course designers. C. Thoughtful parents. D. Self-learning students. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了批判性思考的真正意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“You hear people use them all the time, but no one seems to understand exactly what they mean.(你经常能听到人们使用这些词，但似乎没人能确切明白它们的含义)”可知，在老师看来，批判性思维是一个广泛使用而不清楚的术语。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“for no other reason than it conditions the mind to suspect the form and function of everything it sees, including your classroom and everything being taught in it(仅仅是因为它能促使人们对所见到一切事物的形态和功能产生怀疑，包括你们的教室以及教室里所教授的一切内容)”可知，批判性思维在学校里是不受欢迎的事物，故划线词意思是“不受欢迎的事物”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Of course, critical thinking without knowledge is embarrassingly empty, like a farmer without a field.(当然，缺乏知识的批判性思考是极其空洞的，就好比一个没有田地的农民)”可知，批判性思维的基础是知识。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Here, there’s a lot to look at: how to teach it, how to assess it, what role it plays in the learning process, how to use it in misleading school mission statements, how to casually drop it in classroom walkthroughs or walkthrough documents.(在这里，有很多内容值得探讨：如何教授它、如何评估它、它在学习过程中扮演着怎样的角色、如何将其运用在具有误导性的学校使命宣言中、又如何在课堂巡查或巡查报告中随意提及它)”可知，课程设计者最有可能是本文的目标读者。故选B。 D People living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods may be more likely to develop dementia (痴呆症) than people living in neighbourhoods with fewer disadvantages, according to a new study published. The study does not prove that neighbourhood factors cause dementia; it only shows an association. Neighbourhood status is determined by factors such as income, employment, education and disability. “Our findings show that the community in which you live influences your risk of developing dementia,” said study author Pankaja Desai, PhD, of Rush University in Chicago, Illinois. “Most studies of risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔茨海默症) focus on the individual level, not the community level. Of course, intervening at the community level is challenging, but prioritizing disadvantaged communities may be an effective way to mobilize resources for older adults and provide avenues (途径) for reducing the risk of dementia for the overall community.” The study involved 6,781 people with an average age of 72 living in four communities in Chicago. Tests of thinking and memory skills were given at the beginning of the study and every three years for at least six years of follow-up. A group of 2,534 people were evaluated for dementia. Researchers looked at US Census tracts (人口普查区) of the four neighbourhoods based on amount of disadvantage. By the end of the study, 11% of the people in the tracts with the least disadvantage had developed Alzheimer’s disease, compared to 14% in the tracts with the next lowest disadvantage, 17% in the tracts with next-to-highest amount of disadvantage and 22% in the tracts with the highest amount of disadvantage. Once researchers adjusted for other factors that could affect the risk of dementia, such as age, sex and education, they found that people in the tracts with the most disadvantage were more than twice as likely to develop dementia as those in the tracts with the least disadvantage. A limitation of the study was that participants all lived in Chicago neighbourhoods, so the results may not apply to other populations. 12. What does the study primarily indicate about neighbourhood disadvantages? A. They only affect individuals under 70. B. They may increase the risk of dementia. C. They have no impact on cognitive health. D. They directly cause Alzheimer’s disease. 13. How does the author present the findings? A. By raising a question. B. By analyzing causes. C. By giving an example. D. By listing some figures. 14. What are researchers most likely to do in the next stage? A. Expand the study to other regions. B. Make their findings known to more. C. Target individual-level interventions. D. Focus on genetic factors in dementia risk. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Dementia Rates Vary Across Different Cities B. Factors Causing Dementia Identified in a New Study C. Neighbourhood Disadvantages Linked to Dementia Risk D. Community-Level Interventions for Dementia Prevention 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现居住在条件较差社区的人患痴呆症概率更高，同时说明研究局限性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“People living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods may be more likely to develop dementia than people living in neighbourhoods with fewer disadvantages, according to a new study published. (一项新发表的研究表明，居住在条件较差社区的人可能比居住在条件较好社区的人更容易患上痴呆症。)”可知，该研究主要表明社区条件差可能会增加患痴呆症的风险。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“By the end of the study, 11% of the people in the tracts with the least disadvantage had developed Alzheimer’s disease, compared to 14% in the tracts with the next lowest disadvantage, 17% in the tracts with next-to-highest amount of disadvantage and 22% in the tracts with the highest amount of disadvantage. (到研究结束时，居住在劣势程度最低区域的人中有11%患上了阿尔茨海默症，劣势程度第二低的区域这一比例为14%，劣势程度第二高的区域为17%，劣势程度最高的区域为22%。)”可知，作者是通过列举一系列数据来呈现研究结果的。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“A limitation of the study was that participants all lived in Chicago neighbourhoods, so the results may not apply to other populations. (这项研究的一个局限性是参与者都居住在芝加哥的社区，因此研究结果可能不适用于其他人群。)”可知，研究样本存在地域局限性，由此推测研，究人员下一步最有可能将研究范围扩展到其他地区。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“People living in more disadvantaged neighbourhoods may be more likely to develop dementia than people living in neighbourhoods with fewer disadvantages, according to a new study published. The study does not prove that neighbourhood factors cause dementia; it only shows an association. (一项新发表的研究表明，居住在条件较差社区的人可能比居住在条件较好社区的人更容易患上痴呆症。该研究并未证明社区因素会导致痴呆症，仅表明两者存在关联。)”可知，全文围绕社区条件差与痴呆症患病风险的关联展开。因此“社区条件差与痴呆症患病风险有关联”最适合作为文章标题。故选C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 Always Be Happy It is normal to feel happier at certain times than others, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t find a consistent pattern of contentment, satisfaction, and gratitude in your life.

With my son’s occasional repetitive sounds and my daughter’s excited chatter, the little two can get quite loud in public. I’ve grown used to the curious glances and whispered comments — those small, unspoken judgments that make me feel like an outsider sometimes. But nothing prepared me for the rudeness I encountered at a Trader Joe’s last month. I’d stopped by the store after a chaotic morning of therapy (治疗) appointments, hoping to grab groceries quickly. The cashier barely looked up as she scanned my items, slamming (用力一放) my bread onto the conveyor belt and sighing loudly when I fished for my wallet. “Hurry up, please,” she urged impatiently in a low voice. Shocked, I left the store with my kids, keeping asking myself, “What did I do to deserve such treatment?” After a while of reflection, I realized that the cashier was probably having an exceptionally bad day, and I just happened to be the unfortunate one she let it out on. Instead of letting this single negative experience sour my opinion of the entire grocery chain, I decided to give it another shot. So, I ventured to a different Trader Joe’s location on the opposite side of town. As soon as I stepped inside, I realized I was completely unfamiliar with the store’s layout. I approached an employee and asked for assistance. Before I could even fully explain my situation, the employee greeted us with a warm smile and an incredibly kind manner. I couldn’t help but open up about my previous bad experience at the other store. The employee listened attentively and then reassured me, “This is your new store. We’ll make sure you have a great experience here, no matter what.” They even took the time to show me where they kept their delicious coffee, as if to say, “Let’s start this new shopping journey on a positive note.” 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。 When I finally reached the register, the staff assisting me stepped away for a moment. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Holding the flowers, all my previous unhappiness faded away. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When I finally reached the register, the staff assisting me stepped away for a moment. Then he returned with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. I stood there, a bit puzzled, wondering what was going on. He handed me the flowers, saying, “This is from our team. We hope it can brighten your day and make up for the bad experience you had before.” I looked around at the other employees, and they were all smiling at me, their eyes full of warmth and sincerity. It was as if they were telling me with their actions that they cared about me. Holding the flowers, all my previous unhappiness faded away. The flowers were so fresh and colourful, with a sweet fragrance that filled the air around me. All the frustration and disappointment were replaced by a sense of gratitude and joy. This small act of kindness reminded me that there are still good-hearted people in the world who are willing to go out of their way to make others feel better. From that day on, I knew that this Trader Joe’s would be my new go-to store, and I would always remember the kindness shown to me by these wonderful employees. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一位特殊需求孩子母亲的购物经历为线索，讲述了身为自闭症孩子母亲的作者带孩子购物时遭遇收银员的粗鲁对待，后来选择换一家同品牌门店尝试，受到员工热情帮助并收到暖心鲜花，从而驱散坏心情的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我终于走到收银台时，帮我结账的店员走开了一会儿。”可知，第一段可描写店员返回时手里拿着一束花，将花送给作者并解释这是团队的心意，以及作者看到其他员工微笑时的感受。 ②由第二段首句内容“捧着花，我之前所有的不愉快都烟消云散了。”可知，第二段可描写鲜花带来的美好感受，这件事带给作者的感悟，以及作者将这家店当作常去购物点的决定。 2. 续写线索：员工暂离返回赠花——说明赠花用意——其他员工微笑致意——手握鲜花不快消散——心生感激领悟善意——选定常去店铺铭记温暖 3. 词汇激活 ①让某人心情变好：brighten one’s day/make one’s day/cheer sb. up ②弥补：make up for/compensate for ③取代：replace/take the place of 情绪类 ①困惑：puzzled/confused ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] He handed me the flowers, saying, “This is from our team. （运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] This small act of kindness reminded me that there are still good-hearted people in the world who are willing to go out of their way to make others feel better.（运用了that引导宾语从句以及who引导定语从句修饰people） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
