Mr. Carle’s lively, creative, and colorful works have been loved by children around the world. “The Very Hungry Caterpillar” is Mr. Carle’s best-known book. Eric Carle was born in New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he grew up, Eric spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small living things, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Eric thought this helped explain why so many of his books are about nature, bugs and animals. When Eric was 6, the family moved back to Germany because his mother missed her home. Life in Germany was unbelievably sad and difficult for Eric and his family during World War Ⅱ. After the war, Eric studied art in school. In 1952, Eric moved back to New York, where he got a job at the New York Times. After author Bill Martin Jr. saw a drawing that Eric had done in the paper, he asked Eric to illustrate his book, “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?”. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit, which also made Eric popular. Eric continued to work with Mr. Martin for years. Though he also created pictures for books with other authors, Eric created many of his most well-loved books completely on his own. Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun, welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both attractive and fun.” 4. What played a main role in determining the topic of Eric Carle’s books? A. His school education. B. His birthplace. C. His childhood. D. Readers’ interest. 5. What does the underlined word “illustrate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Give an explanation for. B. Add some pictures to. C. Make an introduction to. D. Write a book review for. 6. When did Eric Carle become famous? A. In his late 30s. B. Soon after he went back to New York. C. Right after the second world war. D. A few years before he passed away. 7. What did Eric Carle write children’s books for? A. Living a wealthy life. B. Supporting his mother. C. Inspiring kids to learn. D. Teaching kids to draw. C Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默病),” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study.  This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease. Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging. “These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.” Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations. 8. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about? A. Causes of gum disease. B. The symptoms of brain shrinkage. C. Ways to take good care of one’s teeth. D. The connection between the teeth and the brain. 9. How did researchers reach the conclusion? A. By making comparisons. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By conducting a survey among dentists. D. By proving experts’ theory in experiments. 10. What do the research findings indicate? A. Gum disease is increasing among people. B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance. C Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health. D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease. 11. What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi? A. Exploring treatments for gum disease. B. Seeking new methods to improve brain health. C. Involving people from other places in the research. D. Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer’s disease. D While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens. The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed. Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later. Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.” 12. Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities? A. Seeing movies. B. Watching videos. C. Texting friends. D. Surfing the internet. 13. Who might lose the most sleep according to the text? A. Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed. B. Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed. C. Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day. D. Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14. What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4? A. Frightening. B. Awkward. C. Hopeless. D. Encouraging. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Screen time activities cut down our sleep hours B Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagers C. Passive screen use is better than interactive screen use D. Parents should prevent children from using social media 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。 Volunteering can in fact, help you reduce stress, learn new skills, find new friends, and make a real difference in your new community.

Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned (溺死) in Pitt Lake, five years ago. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard (硬纸板) in our shoes, because our soles (鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were given a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he offered the money to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, cleaning snow, and doing odd jobs (零工) to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots (靴子). Boots that weren’t repaired, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars. Well, the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas candies. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 陕西省榆林市2025-2026学年度高一第一学期期末 英语统练试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷总分：150分） 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.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，文章介绍创作了70多本儿童读物的作家埃里克·卡尔，他的生动、富有创意、色彩丰富的作品深受世界各地儿童的喜爱。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“As he grew up, Eric spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small living things, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder. Eric thought this helped explain why so many of his books are about nature, bugs and animals.(随着他的成长，埃里克花了很多时间和他的父亲在一起，他的父亲会带他去大自然中散步。他的父亲会向他展示小生物，解释它们的生命周期，让小男孩的头脑充满好奇。埃里克认为这有助于解释为什么他的很多书都是关于自然、昆虫和动物的)”可知，他小时候经常和父亲在一起，父亲带他亲近自然， 这让他以后的书都是关于自然、昆虫和动物的。故选C。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线处上文“After author Bill Martin Jr. saw a drawing that Eric had done in the paper,(小比尔·马丁看到埃里克在论文中画的一幅画后)”可知,马丁请埃里克为他的书作画，由此可知划线词意为“给书添加插图”。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit, which also made Eric popular. (这本书于1967年出版，轰动一时，也让埃里克大受欢迎)”再根据第二段“Eric Carle was born in New York in 1929.(埃里克·卡尔1929年出生于纽约)”可知，Eric Carle是在快要接近40岁时出名的，故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun, welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both attractive and fun.”(卡尔先生的大部分书都是写给年轻读者的。他说他想帮助学校成为一个有趣、受欢迎的地方。他说:“我相信孩子们天生具有创造力和求知欲。”“我想让他们知道，学习真的很有吸引力，也很有趣。”)”可知，卡尔先生给孩子们写书是为了鼓励他们学习。故选C。 C Taking good care of your teeth may be linked to better brain health, according to a study published in the July 5, 2023, online issue of Neurology. “Our study found that gum (牙龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体), which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease (阿尔兹海默病),” said study author Satoshi Yamaguchi, Ph.D. of Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan. The study involved 172 people without memory problems. Their average age was 67. Participants had dental exams and took memory tests at the beginning of the study. They also had brain scans to measure the volume of their hippocampus at the beginning of the study.  This was measured again four years later. For each participant, researchers counted the number of teeth and checked for amount of gum disease. Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging. “These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth,” Yamaguchi said. “The findings suggest that controlling the progression of gum disease through regular dental visits is crucial, and that teeth with severe gum disease may need to be removed and replaced with appropriate false ones.” Yamaguchi said future studies are needed with larger groups of people. The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations. 8. What is Yamaguchi’s study mainly about? A. Causes of gum disease. B. The symptoms of brain shrinkage. C. Ways to take good care of one’s teeth. D. The connection between the teeth and the brain. 9. How did researchers reach the conclusion? A. By making comparisons. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By conducting a survey among dentists. D. By proving experts’ theory in experiments. 10. What do the research findings indicate? A. Gum disease is increasing among people. B. Keeping teeth healthy is of great importance. C. Removing natural teeth is bad for dental health. D. Doing a routine dental checkup can avoid gum disease. 11. What is expected of the future studies according to Yamaguchi? A. Exploring treatments for gum disease. B. Seeking new methods to improve brain health. C. Involving people from other places in the research. D. Applying the research to relieve Alzheimer’s disease. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。根据发表在2023年7月5日《神经病学》在线期刊上的一项研究，好好照顾你的牙齿可能与更好的大脑健康有关。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Our study found that gum (龈) disease and tooth loss were linked to brain shrinkage (萎缩) in the hippocampus (海马体) , which plays a role in memory and Alzheimer’s disease(我们的研究发现，牙龈疾病和牙齿脱落与海马体的大脑萎缩有关，海马体在记忆和阿尔茨海默病中起着重要作用)”可知，Yamaguchi的研究主要是关于牙齿健康与大脑之间的联系。故选D项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Researchers found that the number of teeth and amount of gum disease was linked to changes in the left hippocampus of the brain. For people with mild gum disease, having fewer teeth was associated with a faster rate of brain shrinkage, which is the same for people with severe gum disease having more teeth. After adjusting for age, researchers found that for people with mild gum disease, the increase in the rate of brain shrinkage due to one less tooth was equal to nearly one year of brain aging. By contrast, for people with severe gum disease the increase in brain shrinkage due to one more tooth was equal to 1.3 years of brain aging.(研究人员发现，牙齿的数量和牙龈疾病的数量与大脑左侧海马体的变化有关。对于患有轻度牙龈疾病的人来说，牙齿较少与大脑萎缩速度更快有关，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，牙齿较多也是如此。在对年龄进行调整后，研究人员发现，对于患有轻度牙龈疾病的人来说，由于少了一颗牙齿而增加的大脑萎缩率相当于近一年的大脑衰老。相比之下，对于患有严重牙龈疾病的人来说，多一颗牙齿导致的大脑萎缩的增加相当于1.3年的大脑衰老。)”可知，研究人员是通过作比较来得出结论的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“These results highlight the importance of preserving the health of the teeth and not just maintaining the teeth(这些结果突出了保护牙齿健康的重要性，而不仅仅是维护牙齿)”可知，研究结果表明保持牙齿健康非常重要。故选B项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The limitation of the study is that it was conducted in one region of Japan, so the results may not be applied to other locations. (这项研究的局限性在于它是在日本的一个地区进行的，因此结果可能不适用于其他地区。)”可知，目前的研究只局限于日本的一个地区，所以可以推测未来的研究希望会让其他地区的人参与进来。故选C项。 D While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens. The team studied the daytime screen-based activities of 475 teenagers using daily surveys. They asked the teens how many hours they had spent that day communicating with friends through social media and how many hours they spent playing video games, surfing the internet and watching television or videos. Finally, the researchers asked if they had joined in any of these activities in the hour before bed. Next, the team measured their sleep time for one week. The researchers found that the teens spent an average of two hours per day communicating with friends via social media, about 1.3 hours playing video games, less than an hour surfing the internet and about 1.7 hours watching television or videos. For every hour throughout the day that they used screens to communicate with friends, they fell asleep about 11 minutes later averagely. For every hour to play video games, they fell asleep about 9 minutes later. Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later. Interestingly, David, lead author of the study, said the team found no obvious relations between passive screen-based activities and sleep. “It could be that passive activities are less mentally exciting than interactive activities,” said Anne, co-author of the study. “It’s a tricky situation,” she said. “These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.” 12. Which of the following belongs to interactive screen activities? A. Seeing movies. B. Watching videos. C. Texting friends. D. Surfing the internet. 13. Who might lose the most sleep according to the text? A. Lucy who watched a three-hour movie before going to bed. B. Jack who had a 30-minute video chat with his brother before bed. C. Sam who played computer games for two hours throughout the day. D. Amy who chatted with her friends on WeChat for one hour in the morning. 14. What does the underlined word “tricky” mean in paragraph 4? A. Frightening. B. Awkward. C. Hopeless. D. Encouraging. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Screen time activities cut down our sleep hours B. Interactive screen use reduces sleep time in teenagers C. Passive screen use is better than interactive screen use D. Parents should prevent children from using social media 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了与被动屏幕时间相比，互动性活动，如与朋友发短信或玩视频游戏，对睡眠的影响更大，尤其是对青少年而言。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.(虽然看屏幕的时间会影响睡眠，但新的研究表明，互动活动，如给朋友发短信或玩电子游戏，比看电视等被动屏幕时间更能推迟和减少睡眠时间，尤其是对青少年来说)”可知，给朋友发短信属于交互式屏幕活动。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Those who talked, texted or played games in the hour before bed lost the most sleep: about 30 minutes later.(那些在睡前一小时聊天、发短信或玩游戏的人失眠最严重：大约30分钟后才入睡)”可知，杰克在睡觉前和他哥哥视频聊了30分钟可能会失去最多的睡眠。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“These screen tools are really important to everyone nowadays, so it’s hard to put a limit on them, but if you’re really looking out for a teenager’s health and well-being, you might consider limiting the more interactive activities, especially in the hour before bed.”可知，这些屏幕工具现在对每个人都非常重要，所以很难限制它们，但如果你真的关心青少年的健康和幸福，你可能会考虑限制更多的互动活动，尤其是在睡觉前的一个小时。结合上文提到睡前看手机会导致失眠，可知这是一个难处理的情况。故划线词意思是“难处理的”。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While screen time is known to affect sleep, new research suggests that interactive (互动的) activities, such as texting friends or playing video games, put off and reduce the time spent asleep to a greater degree than passive (被动的) screen time like watching television, especially for teens.(虽然看屏幕的时间会影响睡眠，但新的研究表明，互动活动，如给朋友发短信或玩电子游戏，比看电视等被动屏幕时间更能推迟和减少睡眠时间，尤其是对青少年来说)”结合文章主要说明了与被动屏幕时间相比，互动性活动，如与朋友发短信或玩视频游戏，对睡眠的影响更大，尤其是对青少年而言。可知，B选项“互动屏幕的使用减少了青少年的睡眠时间”最符合文章标题。故选B。 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。 Volunteering can, in fact, help you reduce stress, learn new skills, find new friends, and make a real difference in your new community.

Mum had a hard time raising us on her own in our small community of New Westminster, BC. My dad had drowned (溺死) in Pitt Lake, five years ago. Looking back, I realize what Mum went through sending us kids to school. Every morning she would put a new piece of cardboard (硬纸板) in our shoes, because our soles (鞋底) were worn out. When we got home, Mum would have “French toast” ready for us. Constant moving was typical for my family in those times. Rent was 25 dollars a month, but Mum couldn’t pay it, and we knew we would be forced to leave right after Christmas on the first of January. Christmas was approaching, and we were given a twenty-five-dollar Christmas fund from social services. The inspector came to our house, and searched it from top to bottom to be sure we didn’t have any food hidden away. When he didn’t find any, he offered the money to Mum. Mum said that instead of buying food, she would use the 25 dollars to pay back rent, assuring us all of a roof over our heads for a little while longer. She told us then there would be nothing for Christmas. Unknown to Mum, I had been selling Christmas trees, cleaning snow, and doing odd jobs (零工) to earn enough money to buy a new pair of boots (靴子). Boots that weren’t repaired, boots with no cardboard in the soles. I knew exactly which boots I wanted. They were ten-inch Top Genuine Pierre Paris and they had a price of 23 dollars. Well the big day came on the afternoon of Christmas Eve. I was excited, as I hurried up the road to the shoe store, but on the way I noticed a house with Christmas lights and decorations. It was then I realized at our house, we had no lights, no decorations, nor any money for Christmas candies. I knew that we would have no turkey or ham for Christmas, and I felt sad. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: As I continued walking, I began to reconsider my plan. The image of Mum’s weary yet determined face flashed in my mind. The cardboard in my shoes suddenly felt heavier, not on my feet, but on my heart. My hand tightened around the crumpled bills in my pocket. The shiny boots in the store window seemed to fade, replaced by the vision of our bare, undecorated house on Christmas morning. A quiet resolve settled within me. I turned away from the shoe store and headed towards the bustling market, my mission now utterly transformed. With great excitement and tears in my eyes, I knocked on the door. My arms were laden with a modest turkey, a small bag of potatoes, strings of simple decorations, and a few candies. When Mum opened the door, her eyes widened in disbelief, then filled with tears. “Merry Christmas, Mum,” I whispered. We spent that evening together, stringing decorations, the humble feast waiting for the next day. It wasn’t the boots that warmed me that Christmas, but the radiant joy on my mother’s face and the unshakable feeling of our home, finally, and truly, filled with light. 【解析】 【导语】本文以圣诞节为线索展开，讲述了20世纪30年代末，贫困的作者辛苦攒钱，想在圣诞节买双新靴子。但当他看到别人家充满节日气氛，想到自己家连食物和装饰都没有，母亲甚至用救济金付房租时，他改变了主意。他用积蓄买了食物和简单装饰带回家，母亲感动落泪。虽然物质匮乏，但家庭的温暖与爱意充满了整个小屋。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“继续前行时，我开始重新考虑自己的计划。”可知，第一段可描写作者想起母亲的形象，意识到比靴子更重要的是圣诞节，于是转变想法，前往市场购买过圣诞节所需的物品。 ②由第二段首句内容“我满心欢喜，眼中含着泪水，敲响了那扇门。”可知，第二段可描写作者带着购买的物品出现，母亲看到后既惊讶又感动，一家人简单地度过了圣诞节，作者因为一家人共同度过圣诞节而充满温暖。 2. 续写线索：作者重新考虑计划——作者回想母亲——作者改变想法——作者敲门——母亲的反应——一家人共度圣诞及作者的感受 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①消失：fade/disappear/vanish ②取代：replace/substitute ③改变：transform/change/alter ④低声说：whisper/murmur/mutter 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/resolute ②喜悦：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] I turned away from the shoe store and headed towards the bustling market, my mission now utterly transformed.
