Yours, Li Hua 读后续写参考范文 Just then,our car started making a strange noise.Obviously,there was something wrong with it and we had to pull over and call roadside service.Dad comforted us and claimed that help would arrive soon.But help did not arrive soon at all.So frustrated was I that I felt the whole world crumbled with tears streaming down my cheeks.Then came my dad 's voice."Look on the bright side,"said dad.Our car couldn't have picked a prettier place to break down.Mom agreed,getting out the picnic blanket and suggested walking over to that gorgeous wildflower field and have our own springtime celebration. At first,we kids weren t excited about the idea.We carried stuff over to the field,dragged ourselves down,and grumbled.But as we started looking around,cool things started happening. Hundreds of butterflies were dancing on the boundless wildflower field,looking like a beautiful scroll spreading out just for us.With a whooshing sound,a flock of birds rose up out of the pine trees,and flew around and around in the most amazing wavelike patterns,right over our heads! Just right there,we enjoyed our hand-made special treats,which were so delicious!It ended up one of the most amazing picnics in my life. 听力材料 (Text 1) M:I need to cash this check.

Farmers can adjust their practices to a warmer climate in four key ways: Farmers can change WHAT they plant. Farmers can change WHERE crops are This could be an entirely different type of crop: planted.If temperatures rise in fall,crop corn instead of wheat.Or a different variety of FOUR production can shift north or southwards a specific crop. towards more suitable temperatures. Farmers can change HOW crops are KEY Farmers can change WHEN they plant managed.Giving crops the right amount of Farmers can plant earlier or later in the year. water,nutrition,and protection from insects WAYS depending on when spring arrives.Adjusting and disease can help reduce some impacts of planting dates requires no additional cost or climate change. work. A recent study by experts modeled three adaptation methods-changing WHAT,changing WHEN and changing both of them.The chart below shows their impact on the output of corn,rice,sorghum, soybean(大豆)and wheat. 高二英语 第2页共8页 Com Rice Sorghum Soybean Wheat Changing both WHAT 17% 17% and WHEN 15路 1413丝 Changing WHAT only Changing WHEN only These three adaptation methods can already go some way to relieve climate pressures in some countries.But,of course,we don't only care about crop production at the global level!If farmers in particular regions-especially those that are most food-insecure-cannot adapt to climate change, this is still a major problem.So there is more we can do in the future. 21.What should farmers change if they are short of money and labour? A.WHAT. B.WHERE. C.HOW. D.WHEN 22.Which crop may benefit most if farmers plant improved varieties? A.Sorghum. B.Rice. C.Corn. D.Wheat. 23.What should be done in the future?

Approximately fifty yards offshore,he discovered a horrible scene:a teenage girl was struggling in the deep water,desperately holding onto the foot of another girl who was completely overwhelmed and unconscious.Acting quickly,Bell managed to pull the lifeless girl into his boat.Her face had turned blue,and she showed no signs of breathing.Fortunately,Bell had completed a CPR training course just months earlier for his truck driving job.Remembering his training,he immediately began chest compressions.After several tense moments,the girl finally coughed up water and began breathing again. She was later identified as 15-year-old Genesis Delgado and made a full recovery. When media reports celebrated him as a hero,Bell felt uncomfortable."I'm not a hero,"he insisted, "I simply did what any one would have done." However,just six weeks later,Bell encountered another emergency.While driving for work,he noticed a crashed vehicle that had hit a telephone pole and caught fire.Bell immediately stopped,used a fire extinguisher (to control the flames,and broke the car window.Inside,he found an unconscious elderly man still secured by his seatbelt.Bell cut the belt and pulled the man to safety, performing first aid until paramedics arrived.Both the driver and Bell required hospitalization for smoke inhalation (but eventually recovered fully. This time,when people called him a "two-time hero",Bell didn't refuse the title.He realized he had an important message to share."I've made serious mistakes in my life,"Bell explained honestly."I struggled with addiction and served time in prison.But I never lost hope.Saving these people gave me a sense of purpose for the first time.It proves that everyone,regardless of their past,can find meaning in life if they keep believing in themselves."He added thoughtfully,"They say I saved two lives,but in truth,I think I saved three-including my own." 24.What did Bell do immediately after hearing the screams? A.He called the coast guard for help. B.He started performing CPR on the boat. C.He finished packing his fishing equipment.D.He rushed towards the source of the sound. 25.How did Bell acquire the skills to save Genesis Delgado? A.Through a training course for his job.B.From his previous experience as a doctor. C.By learning from online first-aid videos.D.Through his long-time fishing experience. 26.What was Bell's original reaction to being called a hero? A.He thought it should be celebrated. B.He believed it was a normal act of help. C.He felt proud and accepted the title. D.He decided to share his life story publicly. 高二英语 第3页共8页 27.Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A.The Courage to Act:Saving Lives in Crisis B.The Regret of a Hero:Avoiding Mistakes in Life C.The Value of Training:Performing CPR in Emergency D.The Hope for Change:Finding Purpose through Rescue C A young mom stares out the window in an empty room,holding a baby.The striking image is meant to arouse sympathy for a charity campaign and to urge the viewer to ask:Who is this poor woman?How can I help her? But there is a catch:The woman is not real. Furniture Bank,a Toronto-based charity that collects used household items for people in need, switched to Al-generated images in its 2022 holiday campaign.The move raised a host of ethical questions along with donations. Executive director Dan Kershaw said that the lifelike scenes show the isolation (of clients without objectifying (real people.Charities often use images of economically disadvantaged individuals to win public sympathy.Kershaw noted,"Without this strategy,they wouldn't raise funds." Studies suggest that images of negative emotions lead to larger donations than those with smiling faces. But there has been recent resistance to this long-existing practice.Critics argue that it can reinforce harmful stereotypes(刻板印象)and hurt its subjects. In 2022,Kershaw took stories written by real clients,input them into the AI image generator Midjourney,and created 40 images.This allowed Furniture Bank to show some of the darkest moments in their clients'lives without identify ing them in any way. Jon Dean,a sociology professor,said that AI is a step in the right direction in this case.It,however, doesn't necessarily improve Furniture Bank's images above traditional ones.While they've solved an ethical problem by not identifying individuals,Dean pointed out that these images still put the focus on individual suffering,rather than the root causes of that suffering. Stowe Boyd,a researcher in tech evolution,noted that we are getting used to questioning every image we see online.While plagiarism (has always existed,AI provides another way to"degrade the authenticity"in photography and writing.Whether authenticity matters is a more complicated question.But a news reporter quoting a fictional straw man in an article,or a charity pretending an Al image was real,would cross an ethical line,said Boyd. 28.What did Furniture Bank do in 2022? A.It hired a young mom to take more attractive photos. B.It adopted an unconventional way to drive donations. C.It bought a collection of useful household items for the poor. D.It asked the clients to enter their stories into an AI image generator. 29.What is one of the problems of using individuals'real photos in charity activities? A.It can trap donors in negative emotions. B.It is at a disadvantage in terms of quantity. C.It can't attract the attention of more groups. D.It harms the dignity of the people involved. 30.What is Jon Dean's attitude towards the AI approach in charity? A.Supportive.B.Objective. C.Indifferent.D.Critical 31.What does Stowe Boyd suggest in the last paragraph? A.Using AI with caution in charity activities. B.Holding more talks on the use of AI in charity. C.Applying AI to solve the problem of plagiarism. D.Developing people's ability to spot virtual pictures. 高二英语第4页共8页 For decades,.scientists have identified chronic(慢性的)low-level inflammation(炎症)一called "inflammaging"-as one of the primary drivers of age-related diseases.Think of it as your body's immune system stuck in overdrive-constantly fighting battles that don't exist,gradually wearing down organs and systems.But a new study challenges that idea and could reshape how we think about aging itself. The research,published in Nature Aging,compared patterns of inflammation in four very different communities around the world.Two groups were from modern,industrialised societies-older adults living in Italy and Singapore.The other two were pristine communities who live more traditional lifestyles:the Tsimane people of the Bolivian Amazon and the Orang Asli in the forests of Malaysia. The researchers analysed blood samples from more than 2,800 people,looking at a wide range of inflammatory molecules ()known as cytokines.Among the Italian and Singaporean participants, the researchers found a fairly consistent inflammaging pattern.As people aged,levels of inflammatory markers in the blood rose together.Higher levels were linked to a greater risk of chronic diseases including kidney disease and heart disease.But in the Tsimane and Orang Asli populations,the inflammaging pattern was absent.The same inflammatory molecules did not rise consistently with age, and they were not strongly linked to age-related diseases.In fact,among the Tsimane,who face high rates of microorganism infections,inflammation levels were often high.Yet this did not lead to the same rates of chronic diseases that are common in industrialised nations. These results raise important questions.One possibility is that inflammaging,at least as measured through these blood signals,is not a universal biological feature of aging.Instead,it may arise in societies marked by high-calorie diets,low physical activity and reduced exposure to infections. In other words,chronic inflammation linked to aging and disease might not simply result from an inevitable biological process,but rather from a mismatch between our ancient physiology and the modern environment.If these findings are confirmed,they could have some significant consequences. 32.How is inflammaging related to aging in the established scientific view? A.It attacks human organs. B.It causes the inactivity of organs. C.It generates overactive immune response.D.It lowers the efficiency of immune system. 33.What does the underlined word"pristine"in paragraph 2 probably mean? A.Unspoiled. B.Unwelcoming.C.Unsafe. D.Unlivable 34.What has the study found about the Tsimane and Orang Asli people? A.They seldom develop chronic diseases. B.Their blood lacks inflammatory markers. C.They rarely get exposed to sources of infection D.Their inflammation levels are independent of aging. 35.What does the new study suggest? A.Inflammaging is a signal of aging. B.Inflammaging is biologically unavoidable. C.Repeated infections hold back inflammaging. D.Modern lifestyle contributes to inflammaging. 第二节（共5小；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。 Everyone knows that early to bed and early to rise is good for your health.Having maintained adequate sleep,people can keep themselves refreshed and dynamic.36 Here are some steps to take to become a morning person on a freezing day Seek out as much natural light as possible.37 When you wake up,go outside for a relaxed walk around the block,or sit out back while you have a cup of coffee.To avoid being in a sleep state all along,you'd better rethink the black-out curtains you might use to make a very dark sleeping environment. 38 If you fly straight into getting up at your desired time every day,you'll feel tired during the transition within a few weeks.For some people,those first few days of exhaustion from switching to a new schedule aren't safe and hard to bear.In that case,gradually ease into the early-bird life.They are supposed to shift half an hour,wait a few days,shift another half an hour,wait a few days,and then shift another half an hour.39 高二英语第5页共8页 De-stress and relax in the evenings.A consistent bedtime isn't as crucial as sticking to the same wake up time every day,but it's still important to make sure you're getting enough sleep.40 So you'll probably need to inch your bedtime forward as you transition to a new schedule.Start at least an hour before you hit the bed and cut back on stuff related to daily life.

Every time that happens,my parents would tell us to look on the bright side and make the best of a bad situation.However,I never managed to do that until this spring. On a sunny morning last month,my aunt Jen invited us to the annual outdoor spring celebration at her farm.Since my family hadn't done anything different for ages,the whole family was very excited and everyone pulled his own weight to make sure everything went as planned.In order to add more fun to this exciting trip,my little sister Indi and my little brother Tex even joined me to make an extra-special treat-cupcakes. The picnic was intended to go from 12:00 to 3:00 p.m.After double checking the car,my parents loaded books,games,picnic blanket,and a whole big pack of food into the car.The moment of our departure finally arrived as the clock struck eleven.However,everything went wrong the instant we bravely drove off.First,we had to stop and wait for Tex to find his shoes.Next,as we were driving down the road,we had to go back to the house because my mom forgot her wallet.Then,about halfway 高二英语第7页共8页 to Aunt Jen's house,we had to drive far out of our way to find a place for Indi to use the bathroom. After that,my parents decided it'd be quicker to take this one little side country road as a shortcut.But the shortcut ended up turning into a long cut!We drove forever on a winding road with wildflower field spreading endlessly out on both sides and the deep green pine trees going on and on within our sight. Spotting hundreds of birds flying in the sky,I was seized by a growing sense of desperation for I entirely had no idea when we could hit our destination. 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。 Just then,our car started making a strange noise.
