B My wife and I moved into our home nine years ago. We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 41. The family planted flowers in the yard ________. A. to attract visitors B. to remove the rocks C. to please their neighbors D. to make the area colorful 42. The author let the tiny plant continue growing ________ . A. to see how long it could live B. to see how big it could grow C. to find out what it actually was D. to know if his wife had planted it 43. The author think the sunflower was unusual because ________. A. it was very thin and tall B. it had only one head on it C. it grew on top of a big rock D. it began to grow under a rock 44. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. rocks cannot prevent us from success B. we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves C. we should take good care of the rock gardens D. sunflowers are able to grow everywhere 45. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Stand Tall Like the Sunflower B. The Sunflower and My Family C. Being Proud of the Sunflower D. The Secret of the Sunflower C High-speed Internet access is provided by fiber-optic cables (光纤电缆). In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world — especially underdeveloped areas — are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. This prevents millions of people across the world from having access to the Internet. A new system being tested in India and Africa offers a partial solution to this problem. It was developed by Alphabet. Like fiber optics, the system uses light to carry high-speed Internet signals. But the light travels as beams (光束) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit (传输) high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. The technology is called Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC). The project is called Taara, using an FSOC system to transmit high-speed data signals between two large African cities — Brazzaville and Kinshasa. The two cities are only 4.8 kilometers apart from each other, separated by the Congo River. The transmission of data signals is possible as long as there is a direct line of sight between the system’s receiving devices. The system can be affected by some kinds of weather like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid any service outages. After improving its “pointing and tracking” equipment for beam connectivity, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 million bytes (字节) of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. He said it couldn’t expect to see “perfect reliability” in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, “We believe Taara’s links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.” 46. What can we say about fiber-optic systems? A. Safe and adaptable. B. Complex but popular. C. Demanding and reusable. D. Effective but expensive. 47. What’s the main difference between the fiber-optic system and the FSOC system? A. Their signal quality. B. Their coverage area. C. Their transmission speed. D. Their transmission method. 48. What does the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Promotion. B. Updating. C. Failure. D. Exposure. 49. Why does the author present data in the last paragraph? A. To describe the competitive World Cup match. B. To show the successful improvement of Taara. C. To prove the convenience of beam connectivity. D. To introduce the perfect reliability of the system. 50. What is Baris Erkmen’s attitude towards Taara? A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. D Lao Zi once said “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. ” People- pleasing, or seeking self- worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it is true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and’ caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four- year- old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it. 51. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us. B. True freedom comes from understanding and managing others’ perceptions of us. C. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us. D. Freedom is achieved by ignoring all societal expectations. 52. What will happen if we base our self- worth on other people’s approval? A. We may become more empathetic and understanding towards others. B. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. C. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. D. We may find a clearer sense of self through feedback from our peers. 53. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of? A Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment. D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted. 54. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Receive more external validation. C. Exercise self- restraint. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Live authentically for ourselves and for the approval of others. B. View our life experiences as valuable lessons. C. Rely on others’ opinions to build our self- worth. D. Cultivate self- love and acceptance without conditions. 第Ⅱ卷(非选择题，共35分) 第四部分：写作(共两节，满分35分) 第一节：阅读表达(共5个小题，每小题2分，满分10分) 阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。 I read an article in my local paper a while ago，and it really inspired me. There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year. I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life，and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house. They were a common young couple and they had been saying for five years to get their home. Unfortunately，their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house. With all of their savings spent buying the place，they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better，they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that said，“I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month，it looks like you need this more than I do，best of luck. ”The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger，so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story，and I try to do things for others every chance I get. I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 56. Why does the author remember the storm so well？（no more than 15 words） 57. Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm？（no more than 20 words） 58. What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean？（no more than 1 word） 59. How did the stranger help the couple？（no more than 15 words） 60. What do you think of the stranger's behavior？Please give your reasons. （no more than 20words） 第二节：书面表达(满分25分) 61. 假设你是晨光中学的李津，你的英国朋友Chris计划制作一期向中国中学生介绍英国生活的短视频，现征求你的建议。请根据以下提示给Chris写一封电子邮件，内容包括： 1.推荐拍摄主题（从节日传统、校园社团、家庭生活、科技教育任选其一）； 2.说明推荐理由及关于该主题你感兴趣的内容； 3.希望通过该视频有何收获。 注意： 1.词数不少于100； 2.可适当加入细节，使内容充实，行文连贯； 3.开头和结尾已给出，不计入总词数。 Dear Chris, It’s exciting to hear about your video project introducing British life to Chinese students! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Good luck with your videos!

We have a yard a “rock garden”. There the rocks appear to be just thrown up onto the dirt as if someone were in a hurry to finish. Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area. Last summer I found, in the rock garden, a tiny little plant that I could not immediately recognize. I knew I didn’t plant it and Denise said she didn’t either. We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. Weeks passed and as I made my way back to the strange plant, it appeared to be a sunflower. It looked thin and tall with only one head on it. I decided to baby it along and weed (除草) around it. As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. We need to believe in ourselves knowing we have the ability to achieve our goals. Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us. We will find a way to go under or around any “rocks” in order to realize our goals. 41. The family planted flowers in the yard ________. A. to attract visitors B. to remove the rocks C. to please their neighbors D. to make the area colorful 42. The author let the tiny plant continue growing ________ . A. to see how long it could live B. to see how big it could grow C. to find out what it actually was D. to know if his wife had planted it 43. The author think the sunflower was unusual because ________. A. it was very thin and tall B. it had only one head on it C. it grew on top of a big rock D. it began to grow under a rock 44. We can conclude from the passage that ________. A. rocks cannot prevent us from success B. we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves C. we should take good care of the rock gardens D. sunflowers are able to grow everywhere 45. Which is the best title of the passage? A. Stand Tall Like the Sunflower B. The Sunflower and My Family C. Being Proud of the Sunflower D. The Secret of the Sunflower 【答案】41. D 42. C 43. D 44. B 45. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。本文作者叙述了自己偶然发现一株向日葵从岩石中顽强生长出来的过程，阐述了我们只要像向日葵那样，具备不畏艰难、顽强生长的精神，就一定能够克服困难，获得成功。 【41题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Very often when we have more flowers, Denise or I would plant them between the rocks, just to bring some color to the area (很多时候，当我们有更多的花，丹尼斯或我会把它们种在岩石之间，只是为了给这个地区带来一些颜色。)”可知，这家人在院子里面种花是为了给院子增添颜色，使院子更漂亮。因此，这家人在院子里种花是D项“to make the area colorful(使该区域多姿多彩)”符合题意，故选D项。 【42题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We decided to let it continue growing until we could find out what it was. (我们决定让它继续生长，直到我们发现它是什么)”可知，作者在岩石花园里发现了一株认不出来的小植物，他打算让它继续生长，为了看看它是什么植物。因此，作者让这株小植物继续生长是C项“to find out what it actually was(找出它到底是什么)”符合题意，故选C项。 【43题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As I pulled rocks from the area to get to the weeds, I noticed something unusual. The sunflower had not started where I saw it begin. It actually had begun under a big rock and grown under and around it to reach the sun. (向日葵并没有从我看到的地方开始生长。它实际上是在一块大岩石下开始生长的，在岩石下面和周围生长，直到到达太阳)”可知，向日葵实际上是在一块大岩石下开始生长的，其生命力很顽强，这是不寻常的。因此，作者认为向日葵是不寻常的，因为是D项“it began to grow under a rock (它开始在岩石下生长)”符合题意，故选D项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“If a tiny little sunflower didn’t let a big rock stand in its way of developing, we too have the ability to do the same thing. If we believe in ourselves like that little sunflower, we can reach where we aim to go and get what we need for growth. (如果一颗小小的向日葵不让一块大石头阻挡它的发展，我们也有能力做同样的事情。如果我们像向日葵一样相信自己，我们就能达到我们的目标，获得我们成长所需的东西)”可知，作者认为，只要我们像向日葵那样，具备不畏艰难，顽强生长的精神，就一定能够克服困难，获得成功。因此，从这篇文章中我们可以得出结论是B项“we can get over difficulties if we trust ourselves(如果我们相信自己，我们就能克服困难)”符合题意，故选B项。 【45题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据最后一段“Like the sunflower, it knew it had the ability to get over the rocks because it had faith in itself that it would succeed. Stand tall like the sunflower and be proud of who and what we are, then other things will begin to support us.(就像向日葵一样，它知道自己有能力越过岩石，因为它相信自己会成功。像向日葵一样昂首挺胸，为我们是谁和我们是什么感到骄傲，然后其他的东西就会开始支持我们)”可知，作者将向日葵拟人化，形象地阐述了只要我们像向日葵那样，具备不畏艰难，顽强生长的精神，就一定能够克服困难，获得成功。因此，这篇文章的最佳标题是A项“Stand Tall Like the Sunflower(像向日葵一样高高站立)”符合题意，故选A项。 C High-speed Internet access is provided by fiber-optic cables (光纤电缆). In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world — especially underdeveloped areas — are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. This prevents millions of people across the world from having access to the Internet. A new system being tested in India and Africa offers a partial solution to this problem. It was developed by Alphabet. Like fiber optics, the system uses light to carry high-speed Internet signals. But the light travels as beams (光束) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit (传输) high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. The technology is called Free Space Optical Communications (FSOC). The project is called Taara, using an FSOC system to transmit high-speed data signals between two large African cities — Brazzaville and Kinshasa. The two cities are only 4.8 kilometers apart from each other, separated by the Congo River. The transmission of data signals is possible as long as there is a direct line of sight between the system’s receiving devices. The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid any service outages. After improving its “pointing and tracking” equipment for beam connectivity, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 million bytes (字节) of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. He said it couldn’t expect to see “perfect reliability” in the system through all kinds of weather and conditions. However, he added, “We believe Taara’s links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.” 46. What can we say about fiber-optic systems? A. Safe and adaptable. B. Complex but popular. C. Demanding and reusable. D. Effective but expensive. 47. What’s the main difference between the fiber-optic system and the FSOC system? A. Their signal quality. B. Their coverage area. C. Their transmission speed. D. Their transmission method. 48. What does the underlined word “outages” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Promotion. B. Updating. C. Failure. D. Exposure. 49. Why does the author present data in the last paragraph? A. To describe the competitive World Cup match. B. To show the successful improvement of Taara. C. To prove the convenience of beam connectivity. D. To introduce the perfect reliability of the system. 50. What is Baris Erkmen’s attitude towards Taara? A. Positive. B. Cautious. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned. 【答案】46. D 47. D 48. C 49. B 50. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了FSOC系统为光纤电缆传输的弊端提供了部分解决方案，该系统利用光束来传输高速互联网信号。 【46题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. They have excellent performance, but they also have their own problems. Many parts of the world — especially underdeveloped areas — are not able to afford to build fiber-optic networks. (在光纤系统中，光信号通过电缆覆盖的光纤进行长距离传输。它们有优秀的表现，但它们也有自己的问题。世界上许多地方——尤其是欠发达地区——没有能力建设光纤网络)”可推知，光纤系统有效但昂贵。故选D。 【47题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“In fiber-optic systems, light signals are carried over long distances with fibers covered by cables. (在光纤系统中，光信号通过电缆覆盖的光纤进行长距离传输)”和第二段中“But the light travels as beams (光束) through the air, without the need for fibers or cables. The beams can transmit (传输) high-speed data between two points with the help of receiving devices attached to structures. (但是光以光束的形式在空气中传播，不需要光纤或电缆。在连接在结构上的接收装置的帮助下，这些光束可以在两点之间传输高速数据)”可知，光纤系统和FSOC系统通过不同的方式传播，因此，它们的主要区别是传播介质。故选D。 【48题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The system can be affected by some kinds of weather, like heavy fog, or by birds or other animals getting close to the equipment. But the Taara team says it has already made progress in making the system adjust to such environments to avoid (该系统可能会受到某些天气的影响，比如大雾，或者鸟类或其他动物接近设备。但Taara团队表示，他们已经在使系统适应这种环境以避免)”可知，他们已经在使系统适应这种环境以避免任何服务中断方面取得了进展，故可猜测outages的意思是“失败，中断”，与选项C.“Failure(失败，中断)”意思一致。故选C。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“After improving its “pointing and tracking” equipment for beam connectivity, Taara said the link provided nearly 700 million bytes (字节) of data in 20 days with 99.9 percent availability. It noted that that amount of data would be equal to that of watching a FIFA World Cup match 270,000 times. Baris Erkmen, the director of engineering for Taara, has reported similar results in tests of the system in India. (Taara表示，在改善了“指向和跟踪”设备后，该链路在20天内提供了近700tb的数据，可用性为99.9%。它指出，这一数据量相当于观看27万次国际足联世界杯比赛的数据量。Taara的工程总监Baris Erkmen报告了该系统在印度测试的类似结果)”可推知，作者在最后一段展示数据是为了展示Taara成功的改进。故选B。 【50题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段中“However, he added, “We believe Taara’s links will continue to deliver similar performance and will play a key role in bringing faster, more affordable connectivity to people living in these cities.” (然而，他补充道，“我们相信Taara的连接将继续提供类似的性能，并将在为生活在这些城市的人们带来更快、更实惠的连接方面发挥关键作用。”)”可知，Baris Erkmen对Taara持积极态度。故选A。 D Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner. ” People- pleasing, or seeking self- worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it is true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying? Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and’ caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self- worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not. This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four- year- old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment. As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving you stronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authentic selves in an effort to be liked. If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliche (老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtful that you’ll regret it. 51. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation? A. We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us. B. True freedom comes from understanding and managing others’ perceptions of us. C. We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us. D. Freedom is achieved by ignoring all societal expectations. 52. What will happen if we base our self- worth on other people’s approval? A. We may become more empathetic and understanding towards others. B. Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced. C. Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting. D. We may find a clearer sense of self through feedback from our peers. 53. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of? A. Our desperate longing for interactions with others. B. Our understanding of the workings of the world. C. Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment. D. Our early childhood fear of being deserted. 54. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desired approval? A. Enjoy a happier life. B. Receive more external validation. C. Exercise self- restraint. D. Strengthen our power of imagination. 55. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A. Live authentically for ourselves and for the approval of others. B. View our life experiences as valuable lessons. C. Rely on others’ opinions to build our self- worth. D. Cultivate self- love and acceptance without conditions. 【答案】51. C 52. C 53. D 54. A 55.

There was a couple in my neighborhood whose house had been badly damaged in a storm we had earlier this year. I remember it well. I have never experienced so big a storm in my life，and the hailstones were almost the size of baseballs which broke everything on the roofs of the houses. I read this article a few months after the storm and I learned that this couple didn't have insurance and that they had just bought their first house. They were a common young couple and they had been saying for five years to get their home. Unfortunately，their home was badly damaged in the storm not only by the strong wind but a tree outside their house had fallen and destroyed part of the house. With all of their savings spent buying the place，they didn't have enough money to perform the maintenance of their house，nor could they buy a new one as they couldn't afford it. Then one day just when they were thinking nothing would get better，they came home from work and found an envelope in their mail box. When they opened it，they found some money with a note that said，“I have been driving past your house on my way to work for the last month，it looks like you need this more than I do，best of luck. ”The words were clear but no name was left. They couldn't reach the kind stranger，so they had to write to the local paper thanking him/her. The article caught the eye of the leaders of some companies who volunteered to cover the costs of repairs on the couple's home. I was really inspired by this story，and I try to do things for others every chance I get. I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world. 56. Why does the author remember the storm so well？（no more than 15 words） 57. Why did the couple had difficulty in dealing with the problem by themselves after the storm？（no more than 20 words） 58. What does the underlined words in the second paragraph mean？（no more than 1 word） 59. How did the stranger help the couple？（no more than 15 words） 60. What do you think of the stranger's behavior？Please give your reasons. （no more than 20words） 【答案】56. Because it was the biggest storm that he/she has ever experienced in his/her life. 57. Because they had no insurance or enough money to repair their house or buy a new one. 58. Repair. 59. By dropping an envelope in their mail box with some money and a note inside. 60. His behavior/it is very great. Because one act of kindness has the ability to change the world. 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了一个陌生人用自己的一份力量帮助一对在暴风雨中房屋受损的夫妇，他的善举深深地鼓舞了作者。 【56题详解】 根据第一段中的“I remember it well.

When they opened it，they found some money with a note that”可知，陌生人把一个装有一些钱和一张纸条的信封投进那对夫妇家的信箱里，故填By dropping an envelope in their mail box with some money and a note inside. 【60题详解】 根据最后一段中的“I really understand that one act of kindness sometimes is so inspiring that it has the ability to change the world.”可知，那个陌生人的行为很伟大，因为一个善举是如此的鼓舞人心，它有能力改变世界，故填His behavior/it is very great.

Yours, Li Jin 【答案】Dear Chris, It’s exciting to hear about your video project introducing British life to Chinese students! For your next video, I recommend focusing on English holiday traditions, specifically Thanksgiving dinner customs. This topic is not only rich in cultural significance but also visually engaging, which would attract your audience. The reason I chose this theme is that holidays are a window into a country and its value. Thanksgiving, in particular, highlights the importance of family, gratitude, and community in English culture. I’m most interested in how families gather to prepare and share a meal, the symbolic foods like turkey and pumpkin pie, and the tradition of expressing gratitude. These elements could help Chinese students understand the cultural uniqueness of British holidays and the emphasis on family bonds and appreciation. Through this video, I hope we, Chinese students , can gain a deeper appreciation for the cultural diversity and values that shape British society. It could also spark curiosity about how different cultures celebrate and express gratitude in our own ways. Looking forward to seeing it! Good luck with your videos! Yours, Li Jin 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。考生的英国朋友Chris计划制作一期向中国中学生介绍英国生活的短视频，现征求你的建议。请根据以下提示给Chris写一封电子邮件。 【详解】1.词汇积累： 推荐：recommend→suggest 吸引：attract→draw 表达：express→convey 帮助：help→assist 2.句式拓展： 同义句转换 原句：This topic is not only rich in cultural significance but also visually engaging, which would attract your audience. 拓展句：Not only is this topic rich in cultural significance but it is also visually engaging, and it will surely attract your audience. 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The reason I chose this theme is that holidays are a window into a country and its value.(运用了省略关系代词的定语从句 以及that引导的表语从句) 【高分句型 2】I’m most interested in how families gather to prepare and share a meal, the symbolic foods like turkey and pumpkin pie, and the tradition of expressing gratitude.(运用了how引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
