What if we could jump, loop and travel through time in a machine? What if we could go wherever and whenever we pleased? This ability would allow us to witness historic wonders, change decisions and see people from the past. We could right wrongs and stop wars from starting. The mysterious puzzle of time has kept people debating its nature for hundreds of years. Science fiction writers have turned it into imaginative stories. Some scientists have even attempted to explain it using math. This math tries to make the dream of time travel come true. The scientist Albert Einstein said that time and space are one thing. He called it “spacetime”. Einstein said that there are three dimensions in space: height, width and depth. A scientist named Hermann Minkowski added time as a fourth dimension. Einstein introduced two ideas that have led to theories about the possibility of time travel. The first is relativity. The idea of relativity is that the force of gravity causes space to bend, which causes time to twist. The second idea focuses on special relativity. The idea is that a traveler moving super-fast through flat spacetime will enter the future. Einstein considered time “relative” because it is measured based on where we are on the earth or in space. The first science fiction story with this theme is The Clock That Went Backward by Edward P. Mitchell, which was published in 1881. Since then, thousands of books, films and television shows have explored the idea of time travel, in which some tools such as phones, watches, photographs and old books take travelers backward and forward. Will time travel ever happen? Who knows? The most important thing is to keep your eyes open and have a sense of wonder. 4. What is the author’s purpose of writing the first paragraph? A. To explain time and space are connected. B. To show people’s interest in time travel. C. To draw readers’ attention to time travel. D. To make people believe time travel is possible. 5. Which of the following statements could Einstein agree with? A. Time travel is possible in the future. B. People can’t move faster than light. C. Time travel is against scientific rules. D. Spacetime is not a real thing in theory. 6. What is the last but one paragraph mainly about? A. The first science fiction story. B. Some tools used in time travel. C. Edward P. Mitchell, the pioneer. D. Different works about time travel. 7. What is the writer’s attitude toward time travel? A. Cautious. B. Approving. C. Doubtful. D. Hopeful. C Steven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks. His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. 8. What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material. C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags. 9. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development. C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees. 10. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers? A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult. C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control D The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women. Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said : "These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular （心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia. " For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak （最大值的） cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts. A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems. These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness. "However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important. " She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups. 12. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Positive effects of doing exercises. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. C. Experimental studies on diseases. D. Advantages of sporty woman over man 13. Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise? A. To predict their maximum heart rate. B. To assess their cardiovascular capacity C. To change their habits of working out D. To detect their potential health problems 14. What do we know about Dr Horder's study? A. It aimed to find a cure for dementia. B. Data collection was a lengthy process. C. Some participants withdrew from it. D. The results were far from satisfactory. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia B. Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise C. Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia D. Biking Improves Women's Cardiovascular Fitness 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques. ___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___17___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on. The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway. The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise. A. Make sure your handwriting is neat. B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought. C. The second draft of the essay should be better. D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing. E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time. F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise. G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One August afternoon, I sat in my kitchen staring at a glass vase that hadn’t seen daylight since my wedding. My husband and I had just sold our house and we were busy ___21___ the beloved home our family had spent 23 years filling up. We had decided on key items for the ___22___ we were moving to in town, donated what we could, and rented a place to ___23___ our supposedly important objects. That left a house still ___24___ with things that, while not particularly ___25___, didn’t belong in a landfill (垃圾填埋场). I took a picture of the vase and posted it online, for $10. A couple of messages came in, one wanting additional ___26___, another asking for a price cut. As our ___27___ day drew near, I settled on a new price ($0) and reposted it. The ___28___: “I hate this vase. Maybe you won’t.” In an instant, a woman raced into my house and left happily with the vase. ___29___, I posted more. My daily posts and the ___30___ I received became a precious ray of light in the chaos of my house. Each exchange provided a chance to ___31___ the landfill and to please another person I might not otherwise have ___32___.

Very exhausted from the day but eager to get home to her husband and 7-year-old son, she jumped into her minivan and began the 20-minute drive without any delay. She had just returned from visiting her mother and had travelled the route so many times, so she practically drove on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway. But fate had a cruel twist in the store — wham! Out of nowhere on that awful night of October 10, 2017, a car hit Esposito’s minivan,pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, her mind a complete blank. Though slightly injured, she was mostly stunned by the violent impact and the sudden explosion of the airbags. Panic welled up immediately as she realized her dangerous situation, but the shock made her almost immobile. As it happened, Pete DiPinto, a 64-year-old volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, was getting ready for bed. He’d just closed his book when he heard a huge crashing sound. Without a second thought, he leaped out of bed, grabbed a flashlight, and, still in his pajamas, dashed out the door. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he later said in an interview. “We’re always on duty,” he added firmly, with a determined look in his eyes. The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. After quickly checking that the driver was unharmed, he scanned the area and spotted Esposito’s minivan straddling the railroad tracks. Then, his blood ran cold as he heard the sound of bells signaling an oncoming train, and the faint glow of the train’s headlights was visible in the distance. DiPinto knew he had mere seconds to act. 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。 The train approaching rapidly, DiPinto had to act fast. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The story of DiPinto’s heroism spread like wildfire. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秘密★启用前 【考试时间：12月16日8:00—10:00】 昆明市第三中学高2027届高二年级12月月考 英语试卷 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必用黑色碳素笔将自己的姓名、考号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上，并用铅笔认真填涂考号。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其它答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后。你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

His strange habit makes sense when you consider that he’s an environmental scientist who studies how to reduce litter, including things that fall off garbage trucks as they drive down the road. What is even more interesting is that one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags. Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts(收银台). The bags are prohibited in some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles. Eyeing these headwinds, plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume. Among the bag makers’ argument: many cities with bans still allow shoppers to purchase paper bags, which are easily recycled but require more energy to produce and transport. And while plastic bags may be ugly to look at, they represent a small percentage of all garbage on the ground today. The industry has also taken aim at the product that has appeared as its replacement: reusable shopping bags. The stronger a reusable bag is, the longer its life and the more plastic-bag use it cancels out. However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make. One study found that a cotton bag must be used at least 131 times to be better for the planet than plastic. Environmentalists don’t dispute(质疑) these points. They hope paper bags will be banned someday too and want shoppers to use the same reusable bags for years. 8. What has Steven Stein been hired to do? A. Help increase grocery sales. B. Recycle the waste material. C. Stop things falling off trucks. D. Argue for the use of plastic bags. 9. What does the word “headwinds” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Bans on plastic bags. B. Effects of city development. C. Headaches caused by garbage. D. Plastic bags hung in trees. 10. What is a disadvantage of reusable bags according to plastic-bag makers? A. They are quite expensive. B. Replacing them can be difficult. C. They are less strong than plastic bags. D. Producing them requires more energy. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Plastic, Paper or Neither B. Industry, Pollution and Environment C. Recycle or Throw Away D. Garbage Collection and Waste Control 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章分析了几种购物袋的使用情况，塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋尽管容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中one of Stein’s jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bags.和第二段中plastic-bag makers are hiring scientists like Stein to make the case that their products are not as bad for the planet as most people assume.可知，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害，为使用塑料袋进行辩护。故选D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。上文介绍在许多美国大城市塑料袋被禁用，看到这种现状，塑料袋生产商雇用Steven Stein等科学家是为了证明他们的产品并不像大多数人想象的那样对地球有害。headwinds意为“逆风”，此处指塑料袋被禁用的现状，即Bans on plastic bags，故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中However, longer-lasting reusable bags often require more energy to make.可知，生产耐用且能重复使用的袋子需要更多的能源，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章讲述了使用塑料袋会造成环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，环保主义者希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，最适合作为标题。故选A。 【点睛】概括主旨的方法是：先看首尾或各段开头再看全文找主题句，若无明显主题句，就通过关键词句来概括(如议论文中寻找表达作者观点态度的词句，要看懂全文的主要内容，明白了主要内容就能准确概括文章标题)。小题4要求概括标题，本文讲述了使用塑料袋造成的环境问题，纸袋容易回收，但生产和运输需要更多的能源，希望消费者使用耐用可重复使用的袋子。对这三种方式进行了对比，Plastic, Paper or Neither既能概括全文，又能吸引读者，适合作为标题。 D The benefits of regular exercise are well documented but there’s a new bonus to add to the ever-growing list. New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women. Lead researcher Dr. Helena Horder, of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden, said : "These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular （心血管的）fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia. " For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak （最大值的） cardiovascular capacity. The average peak workload was measured at 103 watts. A total of 40 women met the criteria for a high fitness level, or 120 watts or higher. A total of 92 women were in the medium fitness category; and 59 women were in the low fitness category, defined as a peak workload of 80 watts or less, or having their exercise tests stopped because of high blood pressure, chest pain or other cardiovascular problems. These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades. During that time, 44 of the women developed dementia. Five percent of the highly fit women developed dementia, compared to 25 percent of the women with medium fitness and 32 percent of the women with low fitness. "However, this study does not show cause and effect between cardiovascular fitness and dementia, it only shows an association. More research is needed to see if improved fitness could have a positive effect on the risk of dementia and also to look at when during a lifetime a high fitness level is most important. " She also admitted that a relatively small number of women were studied, all of whom were form Sweden, so the results might not be applicable to other groups. 12. What is on the ever-growing list mentioned in the first paragraph? A. Positive effects of doing exercises. B. Exercises suitable for the middle-aged. C. Experimental studies on diseases. D. Advantages of sporty woman over man 13. Why did the researchers ask the women to do bicycle exercise? A. To predict their maximum heart rate. B. To assess their cardiovascular capacity C. To change their habits of working out D. To detect their potential health problems 14. What do we know about Dr Horder's study? A. It aimed to find a cure for dementia. B. Data collection was a lengthy process. C. Some participants withdrew from it. D. The results were far from satisfactory. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. More Women Are Exercising to Prevent Dementia B. Middle-Aged Women Need to Do More Exercise C. Fit Women Are Less Likely to Develop Dementia D. Biking Improves Women's Cardiovascular Fitness 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了经常锻炼的中年女性在老年时罹患失智症的几率会大大降低。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia （失智症） in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.”（新的研究人员发现，身体健康的中年女性在晚年患痴呆症的可能性要低近90%，而且确实如此，与不太喜欢运动的女性相比，她们患痴呆症的时间要晚十年。）可知，第一段提到了健身锻炼的好处。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据上文“These findings are exciting because it’s possible that improving people's cardiovascular fitness in middle age could delay or even prevent them from developing dementia.”（这些发现令人兴奋，因为在中年时改善人们的心血管健康可能会延缓甚至防止他们患上痴呆症。）以及本段“For the study, 191 women with an average age of 50 took a bicycle exercise test until they were exhausted to measure their peak cardiovascular capacity.”（在这项研究中，191名平均年龄为50岁的女性进行了自行车运动测试，直到她们精疲力竭，以测量她们的心血管峰值能力。）可知，做这项实验的目的是为了测试女性的心血管峰值能力。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“These women were then tested for dementia six times over the following four decades.”（这些女性在随后的四十年里测试了六次失智症状况。）可知，此次实验的数据收集是一个长期的过程。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“New researchers found that middle-aged women who were physically fit could be nearly 90 percent less likely to develop dementia （失智症） in later life, and as they did, it came on a decade later than less sporty women.”（新的研究人员发现，身体健康的中年女性在晚年患痴呆症的可能性要低近90%，而且确实如此，与不太喜欢运动的女性相比，她们患痴呆症的时间要晚十年。）以及文章后面几段通过列举实验目的、过程、方式、结果等，说明了身体健康的中年女性在老年时患失智症的几率会大大降低。故选C项。 【点睛】 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Writing an essay is a difficult process for most people. However, the process can be made easier if you learn to practice three simple techniques. ___16___ When you are first trying to think of ideas for an essay, put your pen to your paper and write nonstop for ten or fifteen minutes without letting your pen leave the paper. Stay loose and free. ___17___ Don’t worry about grammar or spelling. Even though this technique won’t work for everyone, it helps many people get a good store of ideas to draw on. The next technique is to write your draft rapidly without worrying about being perfect. ___18___ Yet, by learning to live with imperfection, you will save yourself headaches and a wastepaper basket full of crumpled (弄皱) paper. Think of your first draft as a path cut out of the jungle—as part of an exploration, not as a complete highway. The third technique is to try printing out a triple-spaced (三倍行距) copy to allow space for revision. ___19___ As a result, these writers never get in the habit of crossing out chunks (大块) of their draft and writing revisions in the blank space. After you have revised your draft until it is too messy to work from anymore, you can enter your changes into your word processor. ___20___ The resulting blank space invites you to revise. A. Make sure your handwriting is neat. B. Let your pen follow the waves of thought. C. The second draft of the essay should be better. D. First of all, learn the technique of nonstop writing. E. Too many writers try to get their drafts right the first time. F. Many beginning writers don’t leave enough space to revise. G. Then you can print out a fresh draft, again setting your text on triple-space. 【答案】16. D 17. B 18. E 19. F 20.

After careful consideration, I’d like to vote for “Emotional Outlets” instead of “Futuristic Visions”. As high school students, we often face pressure from studies and relationships, but many of us struggle to find proper ways to release emotions. This topic is highly relevant for students, as it provides a platform to openly discuss emotions, stress management, and mental well-being. It would not only help improve our English expression but also create a supportive community where we can share experiences and coping strategies. This theme encourages empathy, self-reflection, and practical communication skills, making it both meaningful and engaging. I’m looking forward to the first episode! Yours, Li Hua 例文② Dear David, I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to share my thoughts on the proposed podcast themes. After careful consideration, I would like to recommend “Futuristic Visions” as the theme for our weekly English podcast. I believe this topic will greatly engage students because it encourages creativity and critical thinking about technological advancements, environmental solutions, and societal changes. It aligns with our generation’s interest in innovation and allows us to explore diverse perspectives. Additionally, discussing future trends can inspire practical language use, as it involves describing possibilities, expressing opinions, and debating ideas. This theme not only enhances our language skills but also broadens our horizons. Thank you for considering my suggestion. I am excited about the podcast and look forward to contributing Yours, Li Hua 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以李华的身份给外教David写一封英文邮件，就创办每周英语视频播客的主题提出选择并阐述推荐理由。 【详解】1.词汇积累 观点：opinion → view 压力：pressure → stress 相关的：relevant → related 提高：improve → enhance 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：After careful consideration, I’d like to vote for “Emotional Outlets” instead of “Futuristic Visions”. 拓展句：After I have given it careful consideration, I’d like to vote for “Emotional Outlets” instead of “Futuristic Visions”. 【点睛】【高分句型1】This topic is highly relevant for students, as it provides a platform to openly discuss emotions, stress management, and mental well-being.（运用了as引导的原因状语从句） 【高分句型2】It would not only help improve our English expression but also create a supportive community where we can share experiences and coping strategies.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 It was late, about 10:15 p. m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport, New York,train station. Very exhausted from the day but eager to get home to her husband and 7-year-old son, she jumped into her minivan and began the 20-minute drive without any delay. She had just returned from visiting her mother and had travelled the route so many times, so she practically drove on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway. But fate had a cruel twist in the store — wham! Out of nowhere on that awful night of October 10, 2017, a car hit Esposito’s minivan,pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in the minivan, her mind a complete blank. Though slightly injured, she was mostly stunned by the violent impact and the sudden explosion of the airbags. Panic welled up immediately as she realized her dangerous situation, but the shock made her almost immobile. As it happened, Pete DiPinto, a 64-year-old volunteer firefighter and retired teacher, was getting ready for bed. He’d just closed his book when he heard a huge crashing sound. Without a second thought, he leaped out of bed, grabbed a flashlight, and, still in his pajamas, dashed out the door. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he later said in an interview. “We’re always on duty,” he added firmly, with a determined look in his eyes. The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had hit Esposito. After quickly checking that the driver was unharmed, he scanned the area and spotted Esposito’s minivan straddling the railroad tracks. Then, his blood ran cold as he heard the sound of bells signaling an oncoming train, and the faint glow of the train’s headlights was visible in the distance. DiPinto knew he had mere seconds to act. 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。 The train approaching rapidly, DiPinto had to act fast. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The story of DiPinto’s heroism spread like wildfire. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The train approaching rapidly, DiPinto had to act fast. Without the slightest hesitation, he dashed to the minivan, shouting “Stay calm! I’m here!” He tried to break the driver’s side window with a flashlight but failed. Glancing anxiously at the oncoming train, he rushed to the passenger side, struggling fiercely to open the door. Ultimately, he succeeded through his continuous efforts. Grabbing her arm, he pulled her out with all his might. As they stumbled away from the tracks, the train thundered past, missing them by inches. The story of DiPinto’s heroism spread like wildfire. Reporters flocked to interview him, and the community held a ceremony to honor him, but he humbly insisted, “Any firefighter would do the same.” Esposito, deeply grateful, visited him and called his rescue “a second chance at life”. Inspired by his bravery and selflessness, more locals volunteered for emergency services. His story shone as a beacon of hope, reminding all that ordinary people can perform extraordinary deeds in times of crisis. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述Janice Esposito驾车时遭遇车祸，车子被推到铁轨上，Pete DiPinto听到声响赶来，发现有火车即将到来。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“火车迅速逼近，DiPinto必须迅速行动。”可知，第一段可描写DiPinto如何快速营救Esposito，最终使两人在火车到来前脱离危险。 ②由第二段首句内容“DiPinto的英雄事迹像野火一样迅速传开。”可知，第二段可描写DiPinto受到的关注，以及他的行为带来的积极影响。 2. 续写线索：DiPinto营救Esposito——火车驶过——事迹传开——DiPinto受表彰——更多人受鼓舞 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①大喊：shout/yell/cry out ②抓住：grab/grasp ③拉：pull/drag 情绪类 ①不安地：anxiously/uneasily ②感激的：grateful/thankful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1] Without the slightest hesitation, he dashed to the minivan, shouting “Stay calm!
