The questionnaire gathered insights from diverse groups, including high school students, office professionals, assembly line workers, educators, etc. A total of 500 people participated in the study. The findings are illustrated in the accompanying pie chart: The survey also incorporated a section for open commentary: Lily, 17: “AI might automate some repetitive tasks, but that’s kinda a wake-up call for us to learn new skills. Gotta stay relevant, ya know?” Mr. Felix, 35: “As a designer, I see AI as a major workflow booster — not a threat.

We should be teaching adaptive and future-proof skills so the next gen is prepared.” Mr. Gang, 48: “AI worries me. After 25 years on the assembly line, I see smarter machines taking over. Too old to learn new tech easily. How will I support my family?” While a majority of respondents foresee major employment shifts from AI, Mr. Liu, the chief editor of the magazine, highlights that active adaptation and a forward-looking mindset are crucial.

B When he puts aside his suits after long hours of work as a financial professional, Hong Kong resident Marco Kwok happily embraces another identity: a host to visitors from around the world. As a volunteer in the “Hong Kong Pals” program organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kwok takes joy in sharing hidden treasures known only to locals with visitors. “As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says. Since the program started in 2009, it has brought together about 100 volunteers from different backgrounds. These people are eager to share Hong Kong’s culture and lifestyle, offering helpful local advice and ensuring every guest feels the city’s distinctive warmth and charm. Agnes Tam, a retired executive, remembers a special experience. She helped an elderly man, who was born in Hong Kong but had lived in the UK, relive his childhood memories through old photos. “We found 19 of the 20 places in his photos,” she says. “He gave me his photo album as a thank-you gift.” Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds. For many volunteers, Hong Kong Pals is not just about helping others but also rediscovering their city. Agnes Lo, a civil servant, learned about the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. “I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says. “Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board. For the past two decades, Cheng has witnessed the thriving growth of the volunteer team and the transformation of HongKong’s tourism industry. What remains unchanged is Hong Kong’s hospitality. “Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said. 4. What similarity Marco Kwok and Agnes Lo share in voluntary work? A. Their own professions offer much help. B. They mainly focus on traditional cultures. C. They’re the key members of the program. D. They gain some new insights from the work. 5. What does volunteering mean to Agnes Tam? A. It allows her to relive her childhood memories. B. It gives her a sense of fulfillment and enjoyment. C. It provides opportunities to engage with new people. D. It helps her learn more about Hong Kong’s traditions. 6. What can be inferred from Cheng’s words in the last two paragraphs? A. The program expects more volunteers to join. B. The city’s boom counts on developing tourism. C. They go to great lengths to promote the city’s image. D. The program is decisive in boosting the city’s tourism. 7. What’s the suitable title of the text? A. Hong Kong Pals: the bridge of cultures and hearts. B. Hong Kong’s tourism: the focus of cultural awareness. C. Hong Kong culture: the hidden treasure worth exploring. D. Hong Kong’s volunteers: the group from all walks of life. C Will there be another Harry Potter? Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds. Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions (干扰) from social media, You tube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities. It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. 8. What does the underlined word “supplanting” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Changing. B. Replacing. C. Influencing. D. Aiding. 9. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs? A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading. C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading. 10. The study finds that print reading can enhance kids’ reading abilities because of __________. A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Social Media’s support. C. Paper’s physical properties. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Basic e-readers can be promoted. B. Print reading still has a place nowadays. C. Teachers should limit kids’ reading time. D. Parents should emphasize digital reading. D A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology. “There are a lot of illusions (错觉) of time,” says Martin Wiener, a scientist at George Mason University. Recently, his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer, and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable. Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones. The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects. To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. They were asked to hold down a button, either “short” or “long”, to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen. Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later. These results suggest that images aren’t just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time, a well-established effect. Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven’t. This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects. The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster. They help the brain process more information in a limited time. This is especially relevant (有关的) to the brain’s visual system. With limited resources, the visual areas have to set priorities. In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery, however. For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To prove an opinion. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To challenge a viewpoint. D. To introduce a new finding. 13. Why did the team conduct the experiments? A. To perceive memorable images. B. To categorize the length of time. C. To know the secret of time perception. D. To test the memory of the participants. 14. According to Wiener, what’s the underlying cause of some images being more memorable? A. They have limited resources. B. They contain more information. C. They are looked at for a longer time. D. They are easy for the brain to process. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Memory relies on visual aids. B. Faster processing makes time fly. C. Resources influence time perception. D. Memorable things make time slow down. 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Kien Vuu, a longevity (长寿) doctor, thinks about how his childhood love for singing shaped his life. Despite becoming a doctor, he continues to make time for karaoke (卡拉OK), believing doing what he really loves is important for physical and mental health. ____16____ It’s a point to be explored shortly. ____17____ Actually, nothing could be further from the truth. Nearly all hobbies can provide a lot of positive health benefits. The science backs this up. A 2023 meta-analysis found strong evidence that leisure (休闲的) activities can protect against heart disease and age-related issues like pain and disability. Besides improving physical health, hobbies improve the ability of the brain’s neural (神经的) networks to change, adapt and make new connections. ____18____ This could be the cause of how hobbies make use of the brain’s flexibility, fostering new neural connections that enhance abilities beyond the specific skill itself. Basically, humans seek meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ____19____ It provides direction and a sense of achievement. Engaging in hobbies, especially those done in groups, helps build community, establish connections and strengthen bonds, all contributing to a greater sense of purpose and belonging. While a hobby is anything you do in your leisure time, not all hobbies are equal in promoting health and happiness. Whether you seek physical activity, mental inspiration, or community, the key is to find activities that truly bring joy. Avoid passive pastimes, like too much screen time, which often leave you feeling worse. ____20____ Now it’s your turn: Go find the thing that lights you up and do more of it. A. Following your likes is key to satisfying this need. B. It also stresses the need to balance work and leisure. C. People who play a musical instrument often do better in math. D. A widespread myth is that engaging in hobbies is a waste of time. E. This supports the idea that hobbies can bring us benefits in many aspects. F. Rather, choose hobbies that challenge your physical strength and mental focus. G. Instead, aim for hobbies that offer both short-term pleasure and long-term benefits. 第三部分 语言知识运用 (共两节，满分25分) 第一节 (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。 Bill Sumiel was having a tough Friday.

The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden light over the street. As she worked, her eyes fell on a big black-and-white cat near a waste bin behind her shop. Unlike the usual stray cats (流浪猫) she sometimes saw, this one appeared well-fed, with a glossy coat and bright, curious eyes. The cat trotted up to her without hesitation, as if he knew she was there to help. Holly bent down and gently petted him, feeling the warmth of his fur. It was clear this was no stray; the cat seemed too well cared for to have wandered off on his own. Holly felt a tug at her heart, knowing that someone must be missing this cat. She brought him inside, gave him food and water, and she also noticed the collar with a faded tag, a sign that he had a home. Meanwhile, Jamie McCall was heartbroken. Her beloved cat, Tucker, had gone missing the day before during a stop at a small hotel. Tucker had been more than just a pet to Jamie; he had been a source of comfort after the tragic losses she had suffered in the past two years. First, she had lost her husband of 43 years to cancer, then her grandson to violence. A workplace accident had left her partially disabled, and life had seemed to turn upside down. Through it all, Tucker had been her lifeline, offering companionship and love. After searching for hours without success, Jamie had no choice but to leave the hotel, heartbroken and fearing the worst for Tucker. And he didn’t know a good Samaritan was doing something to bring Tucker back to him. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Holly posted the cat’s photo in local lost-pet groups, hoping to find its owner. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally came the day they had arranged to meet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二阶段性检测二 (英语) 注意事项： 1. 本张试卷总分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2本试卷分第I卷 (选择题) 和第II卷 (非选择题) 两部分。答题前，务必将自己的姓名、考生号填写在答题卡。 3. 请将答案填涂填写在答题卷上，写在试卷上无效。 4考试结束，将答题卷交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题纸上。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置，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.

As a volunteer in the “Hong Kong Pals” program organized by the Hong Kong Tourism Board, Kwok takes joy in sharing hidden treasures known only to locals with visitors. “As a cultural ambassador, I not only give visitors important information but also learn from their backgrounds, which I then share with my friends and family,” he says. Since the program started in 2009, it has brought together about 100 volunteers from different backgrounds. These people are eager to share Hong Kong’s culture and lifestyle, offering helpful local advice and ensuring every guest feels the city’s distinctive warmth and charm. Agnes Tam, a retired executive, remembers a special experience. She helped an elderly man, who was born in Hong Kong but had lived in the UK, relive his childhood memories through old photos. “We found 19 of the 20 places in his photos,” she says. “He gave me his photo album as a thank-you gift.” Although her life after retirement is busy, Tam enjoys volunteering. “It not only enriches my life but also gives me a sense of purpose and happiness,” she adds. For many volunteers, Hong Kong Pals is not just about helping others but also rediscovering their city. Agnes Lo, a civil servant, learned about the Tai Hang Fire Dragon Dance while preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival. “I got to know more about this tradition and was excited to share it with visitors,” she says. “Over the past 14 years, our volunteers have contributed nearly 70,000 hours of service,” said Bakky Cheng, director of visitor services at the Hong Kong Tourism Board. For the past two decades, Cheng has witnessed the thriving growth of the volunteer team and the transformation of HongKong’s tourism industry. What remains unchanged is Hong Kong’s hospitality. “Through comprehensive training, we ensure every volunteer is updated with the latest tourism trends and masters the art of hospitality, so they can tell a better Hong Kong story to the world,” Cheng said. 4.

Between 1997 and 2007, it seemed like every child was reading J.K. Rowling’s fantasy novels about a teenager’s adventures. Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times. But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds. Scientists at the University of Valencia in Spain analyzed 26 previous studies, each exploring the effect of leisure-time digital reading on comprehension. They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children. Great exposure to digital reading activities may prevent early readers from building firm reading basics in a critical period. Digital texts tend to be much shorter and have worse linguistic (语言学的) quality compared to printed works. Phones and computers also expose readers to distractions (干扰) from social media, You tube, and video games. Because youth tend to have poor impulse (冲动) control, they are more likely to be distracted than adults when engaging in digital reading. They also are less likely to have mastered vocabulary and grammar rules. With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page. The more kids are exposed to print reading, the better able they are to understand and recall what they are reading. Moreover, as young readers consume longer and more complex texts, their reading skills improve, further boosting their abilities. It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens. 8. What does the underlined word “supplanting” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Changing. B. Replacing. C. Influencing. D. Aiding. 9. What does the author focus on in the first two paragraphs? A. The loss of deep reading. B. The importance of reading. C. The appeal of print reading. D. The benefits of digital reading. 10. The study finds that print reading can enhance kids’ reading abilities because of __________. A. Parents’ reading skills. B. Social Media’s support. C. Paper’s physical properties. D. Kids’ consumption of easy texts. 11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph? A. Basic e-readers can be promoted. B. Print reading still has a place nowadays. C. Teachers should limit kids’ reading time. D. Parents should emphasize digital reading. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了电子阅读的兴起，以及其对孩子们阅读的积极和消极的影响。 【8题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中“Kids worldwide spent long hours reading the thick hardcovers many times.( 世界各地的孩子们花很长时间反复阅读这本厚厚的精装书。)”以及划线单词句中“... we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did.( ……我们可能再也不会看到像《哈利波特》这样吸引孩子们注意力的系列图书了。)”可知，前后文形成对比，提到数字阅读和纸质阅读，且表示数字阅读开始后，像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子注意力的纸质书系列可能不会再出现了，由此可推测“supplanting”意思是“取代”，即数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读，“replace”有“取代”之意。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“But when digital reading began supplanting print reading, we may never again see another book series attract kids’ attention as Harry Potter did. In addition, the switch to digital reading may be affecting kids’ reading comprehension skills, a recently published study finds.( 但是，当数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读时，我们可能再也不会看到像《哈利波特》这样吸引孩子们注意力的系列图书了。此外，最近发表的一项研究发现，转向数字阅读可能会影响孩子们的阅读理解能力。)”以及第二段中“They found that digital reading does improve comprehension skills, but the beneficial effect of deep reading is between six and seven times smaller than that of print reading, and it’s smallest for children.( 他们发现，数字阅读确实能提高理解能力，但深度阅读的有益效果比纸质阅读小6到7倍，对儿童的影响最小。)”可知，第一段提到数字阅读开始取代纸质阅读，可能不会再有像《哈利・波特》那样吸引孩子的书系列，第二段指出数字阅读对阅读理解技能提升效果不如纸质阅读，尤其是对孩子，综合两段内容，作者重点关注的是深度阅读的缺失，因为数字阅读的兴起影响了孩子像以前那样进行深度阅读。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“With paper, there is a literal laying on of hands, along with the visual geography of distinct pages. People often link their memory of what they’ve read to how far into the book it was or where it was on the page.( 在纸上，有一个字面上的手，以及不同页面的视觉地理。人们通常会把他们对所读内容的记忆与书的深度或在书页上的位置联系起来。)”可知，研究发现，纸质阅读可以提高孩子的阅读能力，是因为纸质书的物理特性，这种特性有助于提高孩子的阅读能力。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“It is therefore recommended that parents and teachers limit kids’ time with digital content, or at least emphasize printed works or using basic e-readers with ink-screens.( 因此，建议家长和老师限制孩子接触数字内容的时间，或者至少强调印刷作品或使用基本的带墨水屏幕的电子阅读器。)”可推知，作者在最后一段暗示了在如今，纸质阅读仍然有其存在的价值和地位。故选B项。 D A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology. “There are a lot of illusions (错觉) of time,” says Martin Wiener, a scientist at George Mason University. Recently, his team have found that more memorable images seem to last longer, and these lasting images also appear to be more memorable. Looking at red objects makes time pass slower than staring at blue ones. The slowdown also occurs when inspecting bigger and brighter objects. To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. They were asked to hold down a button, either “short” or “long”, to indicate the length of time the image was displayed on the screen. Participants perceived that more memorable images remained on the screen longer and that they were more likely to recall them later. These results suggest that images aren’t just more memorable if people look at them for a longer time, a well-established effect. Images are also more memorable if people perceive that they have looked for longer when they really haven’t. This suggests that there is some underlying factor that is causing both of these effects. The team later found that more memorable images were processed faster. They help the brain process more information in a limited time. This is especially relevant (有关的) to the brain’s visual system. With limited resources, the visual areas have to set priorities. In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. Why faster processing would make time last longer is still a mystery, however. For now, the most reasonable explanation for why our brain slows time is that it is increasing the amount of information it can take in at once. 12. What is the function of paragraph 1? A. To prove an opinion. B. To present a phenomenon. C. To challenge a viewpoint. D. To introduce a new finding. 13. Why did the team conduct the experiments? A. To perceive memorable images. B. To categorize the length of time. C. To know the secret of time perception. D. To test the memory of the participants. 14. According to Wiener, what’s the underlying cause of some images being more memorable? A. They have limited resources. B. They contain more information. C. They are looked at for a longer time. D. They are easy for the brain to process. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Memory relies on visual aids. B. Faster processing makes time fly. C. Resources influence time perception. D. Memorable things make time slow down. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人们对时间感知的错觉及其与记忆之间的关系。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。第一段中提到“A watched pot never boils, but time flies when you’re having fun. These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science — our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. (常言道，心急水不开，快乐时光易逝。这些耳熟能详的说法有着坚实的科学基础——我们对时间的感知会根据我们体验周围世界的方式而延长或缩短)”可知，第一段通过两个俗语引出了文章的主题——人们对时间的感知是有科学依据的。因此，第一段的作用是引入一个新的发现或观点，即人们对时间的感知是有科学依据的，并且会受到我们经历方式的影响。所以D选项“To introduce a new finding(引入一个新的发现)”符合题意。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“To understand how the memorability of an image might relate to our sense of time, the team conducted four experiments, in which participants were shown images with different time periods. (为了了解图像的可记忆性与我们的时间感之间的关系，研究小组进行了四个实验，向参与者展示了不同时间长度的图像)”可知，团队进行实验的目的是为了理解图像的易记性如何与我们的时间感知相关。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“ In other words, memorable images may be memorable because they’re just easy for our systems to process. (换句话说，令人难忘的图像之所以令人难忘，是因为它们对我们的系统来说很容易处理)”可知，Wiener认为一些图像更容易被记住的根本原因是它们容易被我们的大脑处理。因此，选项D“They are easy for the brain to process(它们很容易被大脑处理)”符合题意。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“These all-too-familiar sayings have a basis in solid science—our sense of time expands and contracts (收缩) depending on the way we experience the world around us. This is not just a general impression of time’s passage. It also has a great deal to do with psychology.( 这些再熟悉不过的说法有坚实的科学依据——我们对时间的感知取决于我们体验周围世界的方式。这不仅仅是时间流逝的一般印象。这与心理学也有很大关系)”以及通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了人们对时间感知的错觉，特别是与记忆深刻的图像相关的错觉，以及科学家对此进行的研究。文中提到，记忆深刻的图像会让人感觉时间持续得更长，且这些图像更容易被记住。因此，选项D“Memorable things make time slow down(值得纪念的事情会让时间慢下来)”最能概括文章的主旨，即记忆深刻的事物会让时间感觉变慢。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题：每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Kien Vuu, a longevity (长寿) doctor, thinks about how his childhood love for singing shaped his life.

The sun was just beginning to rise, casting a soft golden light over the street. As she worked, her eyes fell on a big black-and-white cat near a waste bin behind her shop. Unlike the usual stray cats (流浪猫) she sometimes saw, this one appeared well-fed, with a glossy coat and bright, curious eyes. The cat trotted up to her without hesitation, as if he knew she was there to help. Holly bent down and gently petted him, feeling the warmth of his fur. It was clear this was no stray; the cat seemed too well cared for to have wandered off on his own. Holly felt a tug at her heart, knowing that someone must be missing this cat. She brought him inside, gave him food and water, and she also noticed the collar with a faded tag, a sign that he had a home. Meanwhile, Jamie McCall was heartbroken. Her beloved cat, Tucker, had gone missing the day before during a stop at a small hotel. Tucker had been more than just a pet to Jamie; he had been a source of comfort after the tragic losses she had suffered in the past two years. First, she had lost her husband of 43 years to cancer, then her grandson to violence. A workplace accident had left her partially disabled, and life had seemed to turn upside down. Through it all, Tucker had been her lifeline, offering companionship and love. After searching for hours without success, Jamie had no choice but to leave the hotel, heartbroken and fearing the worst for Tucker. And he didn’t know a good Samaritan was doing something to bring Tucker back to him. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Holly posted the cat’s photo in local lost-pet groups, hoping to find its owner. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally came the day they had arranged to meet. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Holly posted the cat’s photo in local lost pet groups, hoping to find its owner. She also included a detailed description of the cat and the place where she found him. Every few hours, she would check the messages, full of anticipation. Days passed, and there were many responses, but none of them were from the real owner. Holly didn’t give up. She contacted local veterinarians and animal shelters, providing them with the cat’s information. One day, a message came from Jamie. She was overjoyed as she read Jamie’s description of Tucker, which perfectly matched the cat in her shop. They quickly arranged a meeting to confirm if it was really Tucker. Finally came the day they had arranged to meet. Holly brought the cat outside the shop, waiting for Jamie. When Jamie arrived, she saw the cat at a glance. Tears welled up in her eyes as she rushed forward. The cat seemed to recognize Jamie too, meowing softly and rubbing against her legs. Jamie hugged Tucker tightly, thanking Holly again and again. Holly was touched by the reunion. She knew that she had done a good deed, bringing back Jamie’s source of comfort. From that day on, Jamie and Holly became good friends, and Tucker continued to be Jamie’s most beloved companion, filling her life with love once more. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕一只猫展开，Holly在店外发现一只看似有家的猫，将其带回。与此同时，Jamie的爱猫Tucker走失，她伤心不已，而Holly正努力帮猫寻找主人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“霍利把猫的照片发布在当地的寻宠群组里，希望能找到它的主人。”可知，第一段可描写霍利积极采取多种方式寻找猫主人，虽过程曲折但最终收到了Jamie的消息并安排见面。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于到了他们约定见面的日子。”可知，第二段可描写见面时Jamie与猫相认的感人场景，以及Holly看到他们团聚的感触，还有后续他们的关系变化。 2. 续写线索：发布照片寻主——收到Jamie消息——安排见面——Jamie与猫相认——两人成为朋友 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①流逝：pass/elapse ②提供：provide/offer ③冲：rush/dash ④拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①欣喜的：overjoyed/delighted ②感动：touch/move 【点睛】[高分句型1] She also included a detailed description of the cat and the place where she found him.(运用了关系副词where引导限制性定语从句) [高分句型2] She was overjoyed as she read Jamie’s description of Tucker, which perfectly matched the cat in her shop.(运用了从属连词as引导时间状语从句和关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句) [高分句型3] The cat seemed to recognize Jamie too, meowing softly and rubbing against her legs.(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
