A group of kids, ages 8 to 14, watch her make the dish. This cooking class is part of a “Summer Camp” in Southern California. At this camp, grandmas are in charge. Each week, they teach young campers how to cook a new dish and do crafts. “Loneliness is something that seniors are challenged with, and they love having younger people around them,” said Zainab, who works at Olive Community Services that brings older adults together and created the camp. During the last week of the camp, a 9-year-old Janna learned how to use a sewing machine and make pockets. The camper had pressed hard on the machine’s pedal, making the needle move quickly. “Slowly, slowly,” Rahim, a grandma teaching the sewing class, said to her. The girl smiled when she made it. Rahim said the camp is “filling a gap” for kids. Many schools don’t teach these skills like cooking and sewing. Rahim also doesn’t get to spend much time with her grandchildren because they don’t live close. “It is heartwarming to be able to interact with those who love being around you,” she said. The summer camp was organized through a partnership with the Golden Connections Club started by a 14-year-old high school student Leena to encourage teens and seniors to interact. She noticed that many students didn’t have the chance to spend as much time with their grandparents. She also learned about challenges faced by senior adults, such as unfair treatment. The club organizes monthly lunches at Leena’s school. They invite the seniors to the school and discuss topics where both groups can learn from each other. One of the most valuable lessons they’ve shared with her is to live in the moment, and this has taken on new meaning for Leena. “The people we have right now, they’re not going to be with us forever,” she said. 4. What can we know about the Summer Camp? A. It is mainly about cooking. B. It offers jobs to teenagers. C. It is held on a monthly basis. D. It is in the charge of the seniors. 5. What do the underlined words “filling a gap” mean in paragraph 3? A. Providing engaging games. B. Offering nutritious meals. C. Teaching practical techniques. D. Organizing interactive activities. 6. What did Rahim think of teaching the sewing class at the camp? A. Refreshing. B. Fulfilling. C. Challenging. D. Pioneering. 7. What is the main purpose of the club? A. To pass down traditional recipes. B. To ensure an inclusive atmosphere. C. To improve elderly people’s welfare. D. To promote interaction between generations. C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantedness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced? A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. D. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases. C. They manage initial screenings. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? B. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? D Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 12. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A. They have grown in diversity. B. They are mainly from rural areas. C. They have adapted to urban pollution. D. They tend to avoid human contact. 13. Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A. To present a new ecological concept. B. To stress the constant city development. C. To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D. To explain the reduced ecological harm. 14. What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A. Lowered rates of disease spread. B. An improved sense of well-being. C. Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D. Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 15. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A. A slower pace of urbanization. B. Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C. Advanced biological technologies. D. An adaptive mindset of coexistence. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. ____16____ In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips. Adopt the mind map method. To manage a distracted (分心的) mind, write down everything, like appointments, worries and to - dos, without organizing it initially.

Minimizing tech is also the key to getting back on track in your daily life. A full digital withdrawal is unrealistic. ____19____ Then it could be followed by a five-minute screen time reward. It teaches your brain to tolerate stillness without feeling punished. ____20____ At first, you may feel bored, as popcorn brain likes being ‘go go go’ to feel safe. “Go for a walk without music, or simply stare out your window,” suggests Tina. “Sit in silence and observe your thoughts. Let your brain breathe. It is sometimes exactly what your nervous system needs.” So, are you ready to quiet the mental popcorn and get your focus back? A. Allow space in your day for doing nothing. B. So, what’s making our brains pop like popcorn? C. Instead, go totally screen-free for 25-30 minutes. D. Starving distractions and feeding focus is a nice idea. E. Then ask yourself: what matters now and what can wait? F. They feel their attention less focused and deep thinking rarer. G.

Not a big moment for most dads, but it felt good to be asked by him. As we walked along the street, thoughts rose in my heart: Nothing was more important to me than being a good father. But more and more these days, I asked myself, “Was I?” I’m a business consultant, helping companies develop employees into successful teams. It was the work meant for me. If only I felt that same confidence as a father. I wondered why I always felt like something was missing between us. Yet I wasn’t completely clueless. They say your parenting style is shaped by how your parents raised you, and my role models weren’t perfect. But I wasn’t like my dad. Jack meant everything to me. Reaching the end of the street, we found my friend Rick playing basketball with his son. “Hey, John, want to shoot a few?” Rick said, holding up the basketball. I shook my head. “Not really my game,” I said. Rick passed the ball to Jack and walked over to me. “I can hardly get Jack to do anything fun with me. How do you manage it, Rick?” I asked. “I try to make what’s important to my kid important to me, even if it’s just shooting a few baskets,” he replied. Easy for him, I thought. He likes playing sports while I know nothing about it. On our way home, Jack said, “Dad, our Family Basketball Day at school is this coming Friday. I really want to play. It would be so much fun! Can we, please?” I recalled how badly I’d wanted my dad to be there for me and decided to follow Rick’s advice. That night, after getting Jack to bed, I sat at the computer and filled out the application. That’s when I noticed a box at the bottom asking, “Would you like to coach?” Before I could think twice, I clicked YES and hit SEND. “That’s awesome!” Jack cheered when I told him the next day. 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 came our first practice. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I searched the web for coaching tips. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 国光中学2027届高二第二次月考 英语试卷 第一部分 听力 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。 1.

Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert’s retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantedness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the AI program was introduced? A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. D. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They treat complex diseases. C. They manage initial screenings. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? B. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升，并展望其全球应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service.(按照传统，他要在苏格兰国家医疗服务体系（National Health Service）获得专家预约，需要等待很长时间。)”可知，在引入人工智能程序之前，Robert Campbell遇到的问题是他不得不等很长时间才能预约到专家。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community.(短短几分钟内，该系统便给出了自动评估结果，以极高的准确率检测出了疾病的细微迹象。这一举措有效绕过了传统流程中的瓶颈环节，将专家级的筛查服务直接带到了社区。)”可知，“RetinaScan AI”的主要优势是它为社区提供了快速准确的筛查。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Dr. Eleanor Reed所说的“By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.(通过承担大量初始筛查工作，它们确保人类专家能够将自身技能专注于复杂诊断和治疗方案的制定，最终防止可预防的视力丧失情况发生。)”可知，埃莉诺·里德博士称人工智能平台为“游戏规则改变者”是因为它们负责初步筛选。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantedness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care.(这项技术基于深度学习构建。人工智能接受了数十万张由眼科医生先前标注过的视网膜图像的训练。通过这一过程，它学会了识别糖尿病眼病的关键指标，且识别的一致性不受人为因素影响。它的主要作用是筛查：高效地识别出健康患者，并标记出像罗伯特这样需要紧急专科护理的患者。)”可知，本文介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升，并展望其全球应用前景，主题始终围绕AI如何变革眼科护理。因此最恰当的标题是A选项“How is AI Transforming Eye Care?(人工智能如何改变眼部护理？)”。故选A。 D Cities worldwide are witnessing a transformation in urban environments. Wildlife populations in cities are not only surviving but often surpassing those in rural areas. Urban bird populations in cities like Berlin have increased by over 40% in the past two decades. These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. Yet this boom isn’t all positive. Urban animals are developing behaviour changes — increased aggression and interrupted migration routes. Disease spread is also critical as populations grow more crowded, threatening humans and animals alike. Forward-thinking cities are pioneering architectural innovations. Green roofs in Copenhagen aren’t just for beauty — they’re functioning ecosystems supporting plants, insects, and birds, cutting energy costs by up to 30%while providing paths for wildlife to move. Wildlife bridges like Ecoduct de Woeste Hoeve let over 5,000 deer cross highways safely, reducing wildlife-vehicle accidents by 80%. The future of urban wildlife coexistence is promising, driven by tech advances and public awareness — smart tech enables wildlife monitoring, and innovative designs create shared livable spaces. Emerging biotech may revolutionize management: genetic tools help study urban animal adaptation, aiding threatened species. The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. The question isn’t whether we can live alongside urban wildlife — it’s whether we dare to embrace the possibilities this partnership offers. 12. What can we know about urban wildlife from Paragraph 1? A. They have grown in diversity. B. They are mainly from rural areas. C. They have adapted to urban pollution. D. They tend to avoid human contact. 13. Why is “urban ecological release” mentioned? A. To present a new ecological concept. B. To stress the constant city development. C. To show the wildlife-friendliness of cities. D. To explain the reduced ecological harm. 14. What can the urban wildlife boom bring? A. Lowered rates of disease spread. B. An improved sense of well-being. C. Impressive migration routes of wildlife. D. Positive behavioural changes in wildlife. 15. What is crucial for urban wildlife coexistence? A. A slower pace of urbanization. B. Adjustment to existing ecosystems. C. Advanced biological technologies. D. An adaptive mindset of coexistence. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。全球城市野生动物数量与多样性增长，城市热岛效应、充足食物等使其繁荣，带来健康益处但也存在隐患，城市通过创新设计推动人与野生动物共存。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“These aren’t just typical pigeons and sparrows, but hawks and owls, and even non-native species that have found urban environments surprisingly pleasant. (这些可不是普通的鸽子和麻雀，而是鹰和猫头鹰，甚至还有一些非本土物种，它们居然也觉得城市环境十分宜人。)”可知，城市野生动物在种类上变得更加丰富了。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The urban heat island effect, often seen as a negative consequence of city development, creates micro climates many species find irresistible. Warmer temperatures extend growing seasons, provide frost-free zones, and create diverse micro habitats within a single city block. Urban environments also offer abundant food resource. Raccoon in Toronto have learned some techniques to open garbage cans. The constant availability of food waste and reduced animal hunters in nature create what ecologists call “urban ecological release.” (城市热岛效应通常被视为城市发展带来的负面后果，但它却造就了许多物种趋之若鹜的微气候环境。温暖的气温延长了作物的生长季节，提供了无霜期，并在单个城市街区内部形成了多样化的微小栖息地。城市环境还提供了丰富的食物资源。在多伦多，浣熊已经学会了打开垃圾桶的一些技巧。食物废弃物的持续供应以及自然界中捕食动物数量的减少，造就了生态学家所说的“城市生态释放。”)”可知，提及“城市生态释放”这一概念旨在展示城市对野生动物的友好程度。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Urban wildlife’s boom (繁荣) not only reshapes ecosystems but brings health benefits to humans. Studies show people in areas with higher biodiversity experience lower rates of autoimmune diseases. Mental health benefits are equally impressive: urban residents who encounter wildlife report lower stress and improved mood. (城市野生动物数量的激增不仅改变了生态系统，还为人类带来了健康益处。研究表明，在生物多样性较高的地区生活的人群患自身免疫性疾病的比例更低。心理健康方面的益处同样显著：与未曾与野生动物接触的居民相比，那些与野生动物有过接触的市民报告称压力更低，情绪也更好。)”可知，城市野生动物数量的激增会带来一种更加强烈的幸福感。故选B。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The key is reimagining cities as integrated ecosystems. As urbanization grows, coexistence lessons grow more valuable. (关键在于将城市重新构想为一个相互关联的生态系统。随着城市化进程的加快，关于如何实现和谐共处的经验教训变得愈发重要。)”可知，对于城市中的野生动物而言，实现和谐共存的关键因素是一种适应性的共存思维模式。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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 According to a 2024 attention study by King’s College London, 49% of the UK public are experiencing “popcorn (爆米花) brain”, a mental state featuring divided attention and wandering thoughts. ____16____ In response to the findings, psychologist Tina Chummun gives her top tips.

Marking 39. ambitious 40. is expected 41. an 42. has been 43. which 44. uses 45. easier 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了由荷兰公司改造的全球首个涡轮机住宅Nestle。文章阐述了该住宅的设计特点、改造来源于20年退役涡轮机，强调其作为升级改造范例的意义。 【36题详解】 考查副词。句意：在这个仅35平方米的紧凑空间里，玻璃门窗营造出令人惊讶地明亮通风的环境。此处修饰形容词light and airy，需用副词形式，surprising的副词是surprisingly（令人惊讶地）。故填surprisingly。 【37题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：Nestle由一台有20年历史的退役涡轮机改造而成，该涡轮机由一家荷兰公司捐赠，这家公司专门收购二手涡轮机进行再利用。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，turbine与donate之间是被动关系，用过去分词作后置定语。故填donated。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：该项目背后公司的联合创始人乔斯·德·克里格表示，这是首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设，Nestle是一个雄心勃勃的范例，展示了升级改造的可能性。分析句子结构可知，空处作非谓语动词，此处表示“作为首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设”，与主语Nestle之间是主动关系，用现在分词作状语，句首单词首字母大写。故填Marking。 【39题详解】 考查形容词。句意：该项目背后公司的联合创始人乔斯·德·克里格表示，这是首次将涡轮机用于住宅建设，Nestle是一个雄心勃勃的范例，展示了升级改造的可能性。此处修饰名词demonstration，需用形容词形式，ambition的形容词是ambitious（雄心勃勃的）。故填ambitious。 【40题详解】 考查动词时态和语态。句意：随着全球陆上和海上风电产业的蓬勃发展，未来几十年涡轮机废弃物预计将快速增长。句子描述客观预测，用一般现在时；turbine waste与expect之间是被动关系，用一般现在时的被动语态，waste为不可数名词，助动词用is。故填is expected。 【41题详解】 考查不定冠词。句意：克里格希望像Nestle这样的项目能为退役涡轮机提供一种报废后的替代处理方案。此处表示“一种替代方案”，表泛指，end-of-life以元音音素开头，用不定冠词an。故填an。 【42题详解】 考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意：到目前为止，人们对Nestle的反响一直很积极，该公司目前正处于早期筹备阶段，计划首批生产约10套微型住宅，这将有助于提高产量并使其符合市场需求。根据时间状语So far可知，句子用现在完成时；主语the response为单数，助动词用has。故填has been。 【43题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：到目前为止，人们对Nestle的反响一直很积极，该公司目前正处于早期筹备阶段，计划首批生产约10套微型住宅，这将有助于提高产量并使其符合市场需求。此处引导非限制性定语从句，先行词是前面整个句子（“公司筹备批量生产”这件事），在从句中作主语，用关系代词which。故填which。 【44题详解】 考查名词复数。句意：随着涡轮机部件更多潜在用途的展现，就越容易说服人们和风力发电场业主，这对他们来说也是一种可行的选择。use作“用途”讲时是可数名词，前面有more修饰，用复数形式。故填uses。 【45题详解】 考查形容词比较级。句意：随着涡轮机部件更多潜在用途的展现，就越容易说服人们和风力发电场业主，这对他们来说也是一种可行的选择。此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，意为“越……，越……”，easy的比较级是easier。故填easier。 第四部分 写作(共两节，满分40分) 第一节(满分15分) 46. 假定你是李华，外教Jenny将组织一期英语写作研习营(English writing workshop)，你想报名参加，请给Jenny写一封邮件，内容包括： 1.报名理由; 2.活动期待。 注意： 1.写作词数应为80左右； 2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jenny, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Dear Jenny, I would like to sign up for the upcoming English writing workshop.

Not a big moment for most dads, but it felt good to be asked by him. As we walked along the street, thoughts rose in my heart: Nothing was more important to me than being a good father. But more and more these days, I asked myself, “Was I?” I’m a business consultant, helping companies develop employees into successful teams. It was the work meant for me. If only I felt that same confidence as a father. I wondered why I always felt like something was missing between us. Yet I wasn’t completely clueless. They say your parenting style is shaped by how your parents raised you, and my role models weren’t perfect. But I wasn’t like my dad. Jack meant everything to me. Reaching the end of the street, we found my friend Rick playing basketball with his son. “Hey, John, want to shoot a few?” Rick said, holding up the basketball. I shook my head. “Not really my game,” I said. Rick passed the ball to Jack and walked over to me. “I can hardly get Jack to do anything fun with me. How do you manage it, Rick?” I asked. “I try to make what’s important to my kid important to me, even if it’s just shooting a few baskets,” he replied. Easy for him, I thought. He likes playing sports while I know nothing about it. On our way home, Jack said, “Dad, our Family Basketball Day at school is this coming Friday. I really want to play. It would be so much fun! Can we, please?” I recalled how badly I’d wanted my dad to be there for me and decided to follow Rick’s advice. That night, after getting Jack to bed, I sat at the computer and filled out the application. That’s when I noticed a box at the bottom asking, “Would you like to coach?” Before I could think twice, I clicked YES and hit SEND. “That’s awesome!” Jack cheered when I told him the next day. 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 came our first practice. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I searched the web for coaching tips. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Then came our first practice. Not so awesome. I had the kids in our team gather around. Eight eager faces stared up at me. “Welcome to our first practice. We’re going to have fun!” They looked at me blankly. Did they realize I had no idea what I was doing? “Let’s shoot some baskets,” I proceeded to demonstrate without success... three times! Worse still, I didn’t have a whistle. My kids were wandering around aimlessly. Even Jack seemed lost. A wave of embarrassment washed over me. “I’ve made a huge mistake,” I thought to myself. “I’m just going to disappoint Jack.” I couldn’t let that happen. I had to find a way to cheer him up, no matter what. I searched the web for coaching tips. One stood out: success comes when your heart is in the right place. Suddenly, everything clicked. My father had given me qualities that served me well at work; now, they would help me focus on what mattered to Jack. I dove into learning basketball basics, not forgetting to get myself a whistle. The next practice, I gathered my team and said, “Follow your heart; things work out!” I patiently walked them through the basics and modeled the movements. A flow of passing and shooting on court. Then a shot banked in. “Dad, I did it!” Jack jumped for joy. I ran over, gave him a high five and lifted him up. For me, this moment was everything. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了身为商业顾问的父亲，为满足儿子Jack的愿望，克服自身对篮球的无知，主动担任学校家庭篮球日教练，在学习与实践中拉近父子距离、实现自我成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“紧接着就是我们的第一次训练。”以及第二段首句内容“我上网搜索了教练技巧。”可知，第一段可描写第一次训练以失败告终。 ②由第二段首句内容“我上网搜索了教练技巧。”可知，第二段可描写作者搜索了教练技巧，最终成功带领孩子们完成了篮球训练。 2.续写线索：第一次训练如期而至——可知，面对着孩子们期待的小脸，作者却完全不知道应该做什么——作者感到非常无措，同时也很尴尬——于是，作者上网搜索了教练技巧——作者明白了唯有用心才能成功——于是，作者开始学习篮球知识——第二次训练时，作者胸有成竹，成功带领孩子们完成了篮球训练 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①玩得开心：have fun/ enjoy one’s time ②袭来：wash/sweep/strike ③专注于：focus on/ concentrate on 情绪类 ①耐心地：patiently/ with patience ②高兴：joy/ delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】One stood out: success comes when your heart is in the right place.（运用了when引导的状语从句） 【高分句型2】My father had given me qualities that served me well at work; now, they would help me focus on what mattered to Jack.（运用了that引导的定语从句和what引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
