Clutching the wrapped treats tightly, he took small, tentative steps toward the green lorry. Brian and David paused their work, smiling warmly when they saw him. “These are for you,” Jaxx mumbled softly, handing over the gifts. The binmen’s eyes lit up—they thanked him repeatedly, patting his shoulder gently. When Jaxx shyly mentioned his wish to see the lorry up close, David opened the door and helped him climb aboard. Sitting in the driver’s seat, Jaxx’s face broke into a bright grin as he touched the steering wheel, his hands trembling slightly with joy. Hearing their story, the local depot (环卫站) manager invited Jaxx for a visit. On the appointed day, Jaxx arrived with his mom, eyes wide with excitement. The manager showed him around: he got to operate the lorry’s lifting mechanism, wear a real binman’s uniform, and even meet the whole team. Everyone greeted him warmly, and Brian and David gave him a small model lorry as a gift. Jaxx, once a quiet observer behind the window, laughed and chatted with the workers, his shyness fading away. This special visit not only fulfilled his dream but also let him feel the warmth of friendship, making the world outside his window a little less intimidating. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述自闭症男孩贾克斯・罗伯逊痴迷每周三到访的绿色垃圾车及工作人员布莱恩和大卫，心中渴望近距离接触。母亲察觉后，提议在雨天为他们准备热食致谢，贾克斯十分赞同，母子俩就此开启了周三准备暖心小礼物的新日常。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在妈妈的鼓励下，贾克斯走出家门。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：妈妈鼓励贾克斯给环卫工送礼物，对方致谢并满足他登车触摸方向盘的愿望。 ②由第二段首句内容“听闻他们的故事后，当地环卫站经理邀请贾克斯前来参观。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：环卫站经理邀贾克斯参观，他体验相关操作、获赠模型，梦想成真且收获友谊。 2.续写线索：贾克斯给环卫工送礼物——环卫工致谢——满足贾克斯愿望——环卫站经理邀贾克斯参观——梦想成真——收获友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看见：see/catch sight of/spot ②.某人(因惊喜)睁大双眼：one's eyes light up/one's eyes open wide ③.颤抖：tremble/shake 情绪类 ①.高兴：joy/happiness/delight ②.害羞地：shyly/timidly 【点睛】[高分句型1].

On receiving it, I jumped on my bike, headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos, just for me: photos of trees and wildlife. I was out all day. On my way home I spotted a tree lit up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty. Rushing home, “I put the spent film in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store, desperate to see how it would come out. I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious moments, gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing. As I grew into adulthood, that simple, deep happiness gradually faded away. One weekend when I was busy answering the work calls, my eyes caught a box in the corner of the room. I suddenly felt a sense of sadness. The stress growing over these years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner. I thought I needed a change. I took out the camera and dusted it down. It was a great joy that it still worked. I bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went. Now it is always on hand to accompany me on journeys, to allow me time to myself. Even if the day is full and busy, I can seize some moments for myself to take photos, to observe the world around me. The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display, along with photos I’ve taken. To me, the room represents how I’ve found happiness: by reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside, by allowing room in my life for pleasure to exist, and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight. 24．What did the author think of photography as a teenager? A．Encouraging and practical. B．Thrilling and rewarding. C．Difficult yet interesting. D．Tiring yet delightful. 25．Why did the author stop taking photos according to paragraph 2? A．He was busy with his work. B．He was struck by sudden sorrow. C．He experienced increasing pressure. D．He attempted to behave like an adult. 26．What did the author get from picking up his hobby? A．Better skills of observation. B．New journeys in the wild. C．Different styles of photography. D．More enjoyment in the daily routine. 27．What can be a suitable title for the text? A．Admiring Beauty Behind the Lens B．Rediscovering Lost Childhood Memories. C．Escaping Teenage Sadness with Camera. D．Regaining Pleasure Through Photography. C The secret to eating less and being happy about it may have been cracked (解开) years ago — by McDonald's. According to a new study from Cornell University's Food and Brand Lab, small non-food rewards — like the toys in McDonald's Happy Meals — stimulate the same reward centers in the brain as food does. The researchers, led by Martin Reimann, carried out a series of experiments to see if people would choose a smaller meal if it was paired with a non-food item. They found that the majority (大多数) of both kids and adults preferred a half-sized portion (份) when combined with a prize. Both options were priced the same. Even more interesting is that the promise of a future reward was enough to make adults choose the smaller portion. One of the prizes used was a lottery ticket (彩票), with a $10, $50 or $100 payout, and this was as effective as a real gift in persuading (说服) people to eat less. “The fact that participants were willing to exchange part of a food item for the mere likelihood of a relatively small monetary award is interesting,” says Reimann. He theorizes that it is the emotional component (成分) of these intangible (无形的) prizes that make them effective. In fact, less clearly stated possibilities of winning a prize were more effective than options with fixed odds (概率) included. “One explanation for this finding is that possible awards may be more emotionally stimulating than certainty awards,” says Reimann. “The uncertainty of winning provides added attraction and desirability through emotional ‘thrills’. The possibility of receiving an award also produces a state of hope — a state that is in itself psychologically (心理学上) rewarding.” In other words, there's a reason why people like to gamble (赌博). How might this knowledge be used to help people eat more healthily? One possibility is a healthy option that offers the chance to win a spa (温泉疗养) weekend. Or maybe the reward of a half-sized portion could be a half-sized dessert to be claimed only on a future date. That would get you back in the restaurant — and make you eat a little less. 28．McDonald's inclusion of toys in its Happy Meals ________. A．has been a secret for many years B．offers a way to lose weight C．is the key to McDonald's success D．stimulates kids to eat more 29．What did Martin Reimann's experiments find out?

D．Healthy eating habits can be built by choosing smaller meals. 30．What may be the main factor that leads to the phenomenon (现象) in the experiment? A．The certainty to win. B．The need for money. C．The health knowledge. D．The gambling thrill. 31．What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A．More restaurants are likely to follow McDonald's example. B．People should eat less if they wish to stay healthy and happy. C．We can lead people to eat less while helping the restaurant business. D．More studies are needed to find out the impact of emotion while eating. D Mobile phones are set to be prohibited in schools across England as part of the government’s plan to minimize disturbance and improve behavior in classrooms. New mobile phones in schools guidance issued today backs headteachers in prohibiting the use of mobile phones throughout the school day, including at break times. Many schools around the country are already prohibiting mobile phone use with great results. This guidance will ensure there is a uniform approach across all schools. By the age of 12, 97% of children have their own mobile phone, according to Ofcom. Too much time spent on mobile phones in schools can lead to online bullying, distraction and classroom disturbance which, in turn, can lead to lost learning time. Last year, UNESCO called for smartphones to be banned from schools as evidence showed it was linked to reduced educational performance and that too much screen time had a negative impact on children’s well-being. Schools will be supported to prohibit mobile phone use with different approaches including banning phones from the school, handing in phones on arrival at school, and keeping phones securely locked away at school. The guidance will respond to concerns from parents about mobile phones, with the latest data from Parent Kind’s National Parent Survey, revealing that 44% of parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend on electronic devices, rising to 50% of parents of secondary school children. “We are making long-term decisions to ensure all pupils have world class education. This guidance builds on that work which has delivered 89% of schools rated good or outstanding by Ofsted, up from just 68% in 2010. Our plan is working with school standards rising across the board. England has leveled up the international rankings for academic attainment through our multimillion-pound Maths and English program. We are now one of the top performing countries in the Western world for Maths and reading. The government will continue to build on this progress by delivering crucial reforms including by creating the Advanced British Standard.” Education Secretary Gillian Keegan said. 32．What does the underline word “uniform” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A．Consistent. B．Critical. C．Contradictory. D．Conventional. 33．Which of the following approach is NOT backed by the new guidance? A．Introducing phone lockers in the school. B．Disabling the Internet access in the school. C．Requiring students to hand in phones on campus. D．Restricting students from taking phones to school. 34．Which adjective can best describe the new guidance? A．Well-grounded. B．Cost-effective. C．Energy-consuming. D．Ground-breaking. 35．What is mainly talked about in the text? A．Mobile phones use meets with opposition in British schools. B．A new guidance of mobile phones in schools has come into effect. C．British education has made great achievements in the past few years. D．The British government rises to the challenges posed by parents actively. 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。 Do you ever find yourself studying really hard for a test but finally not doing so well?

Diagnosed with autism(自闭症), he often felt most comfortable in the quiet predictability of his own routines. Every Wednesday, however, a special event broke the stillness—— the arrival of the big green bin lorry(垃圾车) on his Greenock street. From behind the safety of the glass, Jaxx would watch, utterly attracted. He knew the two binmen, Brian and David, by the sound of their laughter and the rhythm of their work. A secret wish grew in his heart— to walk up close to the big green lorry one day, and perhaps even climb aboard like a real binman and take a turn at the wheel. Yet for now, he would simply press his palm against the cool window as they passed, a silent observer of their world. His mother noticed his quiet fascination. One particularly wet Wednesday, seeing the men working in the rain, she had an idea. “What if we made something warm for them, Jaxx?” she suggested gently. “Something to thank them for working in the rain for us.” The idea sparked a light in Jaxx’s eyes. As the next Wednesday approached, a new routine was born. In the warmth of their kitchen, Jaxx and his mother prepared simple treats — hot rolls and packets of biscuits. The carefully wrapped little gifts were waiting on the kitchen table when the bin lorry’s familiar noise sounded in the street. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With his mom’s encouragement, Jaxx walked outside.        _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing their story, the local depot(环卫站) manager invited Jaxx for a visit.   _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
