Here are some remote destinations that few people will have the chance to experience. Tristan da Cunha The island of Tristan da Cunha is set in the south Atlantic Ocean, 1,743 miles east of Cape Town, South Africa. Home to just 246 people, the island is an active volcano and its main town, Edinburgh of the Seven Seas, was nearly destroyed in 1961 following an eruption. Travelers hoping to experience Tristan need to plan in advance, as permission from the Administrator and Island Council is required to visit. Ittoqqortoormiut, Greenland The small settlement of Ittoqqortoormiut, Greenland, is set between Northeast Greenland National Park and Scoresby Sund, the world’s largest national park. Its 450 residents live in brightly painted wooden houses that sit on permafrost, locked in nine months of sea ice and total darkness each winter. The village can be accessed only by helicopter or boat. There are varieties of wildlife in this region, including polar bears, narwhals, and walruses. Longyearbyen, Norway It is located about halfway between Norway and the North Pole, and has become a destination for travelers hoping to see both the northern lights and polar bears. Longyearbyen, a town of around 2,000 people, is dotted with colorful houses dating back to its heyday（鼎盛期）as a mining town. The region is completely dark for two-and-a-half months every winter, and the sun shines 24/7 in the summer. Grise Fiord, Nunavut, Canada Located on Ellesmere Island, Grise Fiord, or Aujuittugin Inuktitut, is the northernmost settlement in Canada. The Inuit village of 141 people is located in the Arctic Cordillera mountain range, and visitors can take in the area’s various wildlife, including narwhals, seals, beluga whales, walruses, musk oxen, and polar bears. 1. What do we know about Tristan da Cunha? A. It is connected to South Africa. B. It is an extremely cold place to live. C. A volcano eruption nearly destroyed it. D. Specific permission is required to visit it. 2. Which place is suitable for a person wanting to experience atmospheric light phenomena? A. Tristan da Cunha. B. Longyearbyen, Norway. C. Ittoqqortoormiut, Greenland. D. Grise Fiord, Nunavut, Canada. 3. What can be inferred about all four destinations mentioned in the article? A. They are all primarily accessed by helicopter. B. They are all permanently covered with ice and snow. C. They are all inhabited by small but tough communities. D. They are all facing significant threats from volcanic eruptions. B For 34-year-old Megan Swann, turning magic into something green was trickier than it first appeared. “You soon realize when you’re working as a magician and doing parties that no one wants to hear about deforestation while you are performing the ‘torn and restored newspaper’. ‘Happy birthday: the world is burning!’ doesn’t really work,” she laughs. But she kept working hard to create “environmental magic” — a new take on the age-old art form that aims to inspire climate awareness. In a show designed for schoolchildren, she performed many tricks such as the “needle through balloon” representing heat being trapped and “endless water” demonstrating the impact of turning off the tap. “I tried to link the tricks to actions that people watching could take. The element of surprise in magic can be quite good because your brain tries to think back to whether you could have seen that coming and so you remember it,” she says. Now, Swann is working with Ilan Kelman, professor of disasters and health, and the pair are challenging climate pessimism through her magic. “Professor Kelman is really keen to work with me on the message of hope. Our job is to get people taking action and committed to sustainability,” as she puts it. “It’s about turning that hopelessness into action.” Swann tries to avoid anything too dark. “I think I have the positivity element exactly right, which people don’t expect when they hear it’s climate themed.” And she has new tricks up her sleeve, including an act that sees her predict the future outcome of our actions, producing flags from around the world with various positive stories about their climate policies. But why is magic such a remarkable way of turning those who’ve given up on sustainability into climate advocates? “It’s an unusual way to engage people and it’s really visual. It appeals to everyone,” she answers, before puzzling over the question further. “It reminds us that even impossible things can be done.” 4. How did Swann find her environmental magic after first trying it out? A. Promising. B. Engaging. C. Heartbreaking. D. Demanding. 5. What does Swann consider when designing her environmental tricks? A. The difficulty of performance. B. The potential climate benefits. C. The relevance to practical actions. D. The inclusion of climate science. 6. Why is magic a great way to raise climate awareness according to Swann? A. It inspires a sense of possibility. B. It encourages creative thinking. C. It shows the gravity of climate issues. D. It teaches children how to perform magic tricks. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To profile Swann’s magic for climate awareness. B. To promote Swann’s upcoming magic shows worldwide. C. To argue that magic is superior to traditional climate lectures. D. To evaluate the long-term impact of magic on carbon reduction. C No one likes the sound of someone else’s chewing or drinking. But for some people, it’s enough to cause uncontrollable feelings of anger or disgust. If this sounds like you, you possibly suffer from a disorder known as misophonia (恐音症). People with misophonia overreact to some everyday sounds, especially those made by others. Though the phenomenon has been well documented, what exactly causes it hasn’t been clear. Now a recent paper in The Journal of Neuroscience provides a persuasive explanation — misophonia isn’t related to hearing so much as to excessive mirror-neuron (镜像神经元) activity in the observer when he is watching or hearing someone else’s orofacial (口面部) actions. The study, led by Sukhinder Kumar at Newcastle University, shows that too much mirroring causes anger in some sufferers, and anxiety in others. The so-called “mirror neurons” were first discovered in monkeys. Groups of these neurons prove a boon to monkeys. The neural system is thought to aid learning from others, and also cooperation with each other, so that a group can hunt together effectively. For example, in people, there is evidence for mirror systems for movement and emotion. Misophonia has been thought of as a disorder of sound emotion processing. However, Kumar and his colleagues are doubtful about this theory. The team analyzed the fMRI brain scan data on 42 people with and without misophonia while they listened to trigger sounds, including breathing and chewing gum. People with misophonia showed stronger connectivity between the auditory cortex (大脑皮层) and the orofacial motor area. The fact that the misophonia group showed differences specifically involving facial motor regions indicates misophonia is caused by mirroring someone else’s facial movements — rather than abnormal sound processing. For some sufferers and their families, misophonia is a very serious problem. According to Pradeep, a neuroscientist with a PhD, the new study opens a novel window into treatment options for misophonia. “Instead of focusing on sound centers in the brain that many existing therapies do, effective therapies should consider motor areas of the brain as well,” said Pradeep. 8. What is the main focus of the new study? A. Defining a common phenomenon in life. B. Exploring the troubles of people with misophonia. C. Investigating why certain sounds drive people crazy. D. Analyzing the impact of certain sounds on people’s behavior. 9. What does the underlined word “boon” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Character. B. Evidence. C. Source. D. Blessing. 10. How do the researchers conduct their study? A. By having people copy chewing sounds. B. By asking people to describe their feelings. C. By letting people check their face in mirrors. D. By monitoring brains during exposure to sounds. 11. Which of the following can best summarize Pradeep’s view on the significance of the new study? A. It stresses sound avoidance for sufferers. B. It offers a new direction for better treatments. C. It confirms misophonia as a sound-emotion disorder. D. It shows a need for behavioral symptom management. D Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there. Jeffrey Marlow, one of the authors of the study, said researchers planted some watertight (不透水的) structures on the ocean floor, which he described as overturned boxes equipped with instruments designed to measure the properties and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen. Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. Typically, a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it. Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea minerals”. TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact incorrect in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company. Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers. He described it as “a novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear”. For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. 12. What was the most unexpected finding of Jeffrey Marlow’s study? A. Oxygen levels climbed in the box. B. Nodules contained cobalt and nickel. C. The underwater structures were sealed. D. Microorganisms consumed oxygen fast. 13. Why does The Metals Co. (TMC) mention that the study was rejected by four scientific publications? A. To praise the researchers’ resolution. B. To explain the long publication delay. C. To suggest the study was initially unqualified. D. To emphasize the fierce competition among journals. 14. What role do the last two paragraphs play in the development of the passage? A. Providing multidimensional context for the ongoing debate. B. Listing the potential benefits of harvesting polymetallic nodules. C. Offering a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the new study’s approach. D. Summarizing the key findings and presenting a final conclusion on the matter. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Deep Rock: a Data Error B. A Tiny Stone: a massive Wave C. A Rare Metal: a Global Solution D. A Deep-Sea Mine: a Rainforest Rescue 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。 A cover letter, also known as an application letter, is a document you send with your resume (简历)that provides some additional information. ____16____ Frankly, a cover letter is essential. ____17____ On the one hand, such a letter can explain details in your resume in more depth and is the first impression a hiring manager has of you. On the other hand, employers use cover letters to narrow down the applicant pool and choose the group of candidates they want to interview.

But after visiting a cat rescue and adoption center, it seemed that I was saved by the cute pets and the love between humans and animals. Gradually, I found my symptoms of social anxiety disorder lessened. And later, at this rescue and adoption center, I made the acquaintance of my friend, Sally, who was a regular at the center: She always took a stray cat (流浪猫) home or helped these stray cats to be adopted. About a few weeks ago, Sally posted a picture on her Twitter, which was a photo of a heavily-injured cat near her home on the eastern outskirts of Oakland. I was shocked and heartbroken when she told me the terrible situation about the cat — it had lost large patches of skin and the bones were almost exposed. She said she had taken the cat to a nearby clinic, and we all believed that the doctors could save this little poor thing. But thinking about its serious injury, I feared the worst. Meanwhile, Sally sent me an invitation to a chat group, in which I got to know other friends of mine. They were from different walks of life, but had the same loving heart. We were gathered for the cause. With more people joining our chat group, we now numbered 10—all brought together by Love, the name that Sally gave the cat. And the doctor at the clinic would share the condition of Love with us in the chat group. 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。 One day, we were suddenly informed that Love’s condition had worsened. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We immediately brought Love to a big hospital. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语试卷 本试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

But she kept working hard to create “environmental magic” — a new take on the age-old art form that aims to inspire climate awareness. In a show designed for schoolchildren, she performed many tricks such as the “needle through balloon” representing heat being trapped and “endless water” demonstrating the impact of turning off the tap. “I tried to link the tricks to actions that people watching could take. The element of surprise in magic can be quite good because your brain tries to think back to whether you could have seen that coming and so you remember it,” she says. Now, Swann is working with Ilan Kelman, professor of disasters and health, and the pair are challenging climate pessimism through her magic. “Professor Kelman is really keen to work with me on the message of hope. Our job is to get people taking action and committed to sustainability,” as she puts it. “It’s about turning that hopelessness into action.” Swann tries to avoid anything too dark. “I think I have the positivity element exactly right, which people don’t expect when they hear it’s climate themed.” And she has new tricks up her sleeve, including an act that sees her predict the future outcome of our actions, producing flags from around the world with various positive stories about their climate policies. But why is magic such a remarkable way of turning those who’ve given up on sustainability into climate advocates? “It’s an unusual way to engage people and it’s really visual. It appeals to everyone,” she answers, before puzzling over the question further. “It reminds us that even impossible things can be done.” 4. How did Swann find her environmental magic after first trying it out? A. Promising. B. Engaging. C. Heartbreaking. D. Demanding. 5. What does Swann consider when designing her environmental tricks? A. The difficulty of performance. B. The potential climate benefits. C. The relevance to practical actions. D. The inclusion of climate science. 6. Why is magic a great way to raise climate awareness according to Swann? A. It inspires a sense of possibility. B. It encourages creative thinking. C. It shows the gravity of climate issues. D. It teaches children how to perform magic tricks. 7. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To profile Swann’s magic for climate awareness. B. To promote Swann’s upcoming magic shows worldwide. C. To argue that magic is superior to traditional climate lectures. D. To evaluate the long-term impact of magic on carbon reduction. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7.

But for some people, it’s enough to cause uncontrollable feelings of anger or disgust. If this sounds like you, you possibly suffer from a disorder known as misophonia (恐音症). People with misophonia overreact to some everyday sounds, especially those made by others. Though the phenomenon has been well documented, what exactly causes it hasn’t been clear. Now a recent paper in The Journal of Neuroscience provides a persuasive explanation — misophonia isn’t related to hearing so much as to excessive mirror-neuron (镜像神经元) activity in the observer when he is watching or hearing someone else’s orofacial (口面部) actions. The study, led by Sukhinder Kumar at Newcastle University, shows that too much mirroring causes anger in some sufferers, and anxiety in others. The so-called “mirror neurons” were first discovered in monkeys. Groups of these neurons prove a boon to monkeys. The neural system is thought to aid learning from others, and also cooperation with each other, so that a group can hunt together effectively. For example, in people, there is evidence for mirror systems for movement and emotion. Misophonia has been thought of as a disorder of sound emotion processing. However, Kumar and his colleagues are doubtful about this theory. The team analyzed the fMRI brain scan data on 42 people with and without misophonia while they listened to trigger sounds, including breathing and chewing gum. People with misophonia showed stronger connectivity between the auditory cortex (大脑皮层) and the orofacial motor area. The fact that the misophonia group showed differences specifically involving facial motor regions indicates misophonia is caused by mirroring someone else’s facial movements — rather than abnormal sound processing. For some sufferers and their families, misophonia is a very serious problem. According to Pradeep, a neuroscientist with a PhD, the new study opens a novel window into treatment options for misophonia. “Instead of focusing on sound centers in the brain that many existing therapies do, effective therapies should consider motor areas of the brain as well,” said Pradeep. 8. What is the main focus of the new study? A. Defining a common phenomenon in life. B. Exploring the troubles of people with misophonia. C. Investigating why certain sounds drive people crazy. D. Analyzing the impact of certain sounds on people’s behavior. 9. What does the underlined word “boon” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Character. B. Evidence. C. Source. D. Blessing. 10. How do the researchers conduct their study? A. By having people copy chewing sounds. B. By asking people to describe their feelings. C. By letting people check their face in mirrors. D. By monitoring brains during exposure to sounds. 11. Which of the following can best summarize Pradeep’s view on the significance of the new study? A. It stresses sound avoidance for sufferers. B. It offers a new direction for better treatments. C. It confirms misophonia as a sound-emotion disorder. D. It shows a need for behavioral symptom management. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了《神经科学期刊》的一项新研究发现，恐音症源于观察他人口面部动作时镜像神经元过度活跃，而非异常声音处理，并提供了新的治疗方向。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Now a recent paper in The Journal of Neuroscience provides a persuasive explanation — misophonia isn’t related to hearing so much as to excessive mirror-neuron (镜像神经元) activity in the observer when he is watching or hearing someone else’s orofacial (口面部) actions.(《神经科学杂志》近期发表的一篇论文给出了一个颇具说服力的解释：恐音症并非与听力直接相关，而是与观察者在观看或听到他人口部面部动作时过度活跃的镜像神经元活动有关)”可知，这项新研究的主要关注点是探究为何某些声音会让人发狂。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“The neural system is thought to aid learning from others, and also cooperation with each other, so that a group can hunt together effectively.(神经系统被认为有助于个体从他人身上学习，并促进彼此之间的合作，从而使群体能够有效地共同狩猎)”可知，后文说镜像神经元帮助学习、合作，说明是有益、好事。故划线词意思是“益处”。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The team analyzed the fMRI brain scan data on 42 people with and without misophonia while they listened to trigger sounds, including breathing and chewing gum.(该团队对42名患有及未患有恐音症的受试者在听到触发声音（包括呼吸声和嚼口香糖的声音）时的功能性磁共振成像（fMRI）脑部扫描数据进行了分析)”可知，研究人员通过在暴露于声音环境中时对大脑进行监测进行这项研究。故选D。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“According to Pradeep, a neuroscientist with a PhD, the new study opens a novel window into treatment options for misophonia.(据拥有博士学位的神经科学家普拉迪普称，这项新研究为治疗“恐音症”提供了全新的思路)”可知，这项新研究的意义是为更有效的治疗方法开辟了新方向。故选B。 D Polymetallic nodules (多金属结核) on the deep-ocean seafloor contain minerals like cobalt and nickel, which mining companies hope to harvest for green-energy batteries and technologies. However, a recent study suggests these prized, potato-sized rocks may also serve as a source of oxygen for the bacteria and other microorganisms living there. Jeffrey Marlow, one of the authors of the study, said researchers planted some watertight (不透水的) structures on the ocean floor, which he described as overturned boxes equipped with instruments designed to measure the properties and composition of living things and their probable usage of oxygen. Researchers measured the oxygen loss over a 48-hour period while the structure was sealed on the seafloor. Typically, a decline in oxygen is an indicator for biological abundance because breathing organisms consume it. Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea minerals”. TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact incorrect in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company. Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers. He described it as “a novel but very confusing process for which the mechanism is still not clear”. For years, companies such as Canada’s TMC have been battling to persuade the international governing authority to green-light their plans to obtain these rocks in the Pacific Ocean’s CCZ. The company has argued that the metals are essential for fossil fuel-free technologies and that the impact mining will have on the ocean floor is not only minimal, but also fades next to the destruction of rain forests and human communities caused by land-based mining. 12. What was the most unexpected finding of Jeffrey Marlow’s study? A. Oxygen levels climbed in the box. B. Nodules contained cobalt and nickel. C. The underwater structures were sealed. D. Microorganisms consumed oxygen fast. 13. Why does The Metals Co. (TMC) mention that the study was rejected by four scientific publications? A. To praise the researchers’ resolution. B. To explain the long publication delay. C. To suggest the study was initially unqualified. D. To emphasize the fierce competition among journals. 14. What role do the last two paragraphs play in the development of the passage? A. Providing multidimensional context for the ongoing debate. B. Listing the potential benefits of harvesting polymetallic nodules. C. Offering a detailed, step-by-step explanation of the new study’s approach. D. Summarizing the key findings and presenting a final conclusion on the matter. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. A Deep Rock: a Data Error B. A Tiny Stone: a massive Wave C. A Rare Metal: a Global Solution D. A Deep-Sea Mine: a Rainforest Rescue 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕深海海底多金属结核展开，介绍了其成分、用途，一项相关研究及其意外发现，不同方面对该研究的态度，以及开采多金属结核存在的争议等。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet, contrary to all expectations, they observed a rise in oxygen levels, a finding that directly challenged conventional understanding. (然而，与所有预期相反，他们观察到氧气水平上升，这一发现直接挑战了传统认知)”可知，Jeffrey Marlow的研究中最意外的发现是盒子里氧气水平上升了。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“But not everyone is on the same wavelength as him. Canada’s The Metals Co. stated the study had been rejected by four scientific publications until finding a home at Nature, which the company labeled as “a journal that has long championed the preservation of deep-sea minerals”. TMC also said the method was wrong, arguing the team’s findings contradicted other work that had been conducted in the Pacific Ocean’s Clarion-Clipperton Zone. “The heightened oxygen levels are in fact incorrect in the data, and we are currently preparing a peer-reviewed paper as a fightback,” said the company. (但并非所有人都认同他的观点。加拿大“金属公司”表示，该研究曾被四家科学刊物拒绝发表，直到在《自然》杂志上获得发表机会，该公司称该杂志“长期以来一直致力于保护深海矿产资源”。TMC还表示该方法有误，称研究团队的发现与在太平洋克拉里昂-克莱普顿带区域进行的其他研究结果相矛盾。“数据中氧气含量的升高实际上是不正确的，我们目前正在准备一篇同行评审的论文作为反击。”该公司说道)”可推知，The Metals Co.提到该研究被四家科学出版物拒绝，是为了暗示该研究最初达不到发表标准。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Bo Barker, a microbiologist at Denmark’s Aarhus University, said the study invited more questions than it did answers.

But after visiting a cat rescue and adoption center, it seemed that I was saved by the cute pets and the love between humans and animals. Gradually, I found my symptoms of social anxiety disorder lessened. And later, at this rescue and adoption center, I made the acquaintance of my friend, Sally, who was a regular at the center: She always took a stray cat (流浪猫) home or helped these stray cats to be adopted. About a few weeks ago, Sally posted a picture on her Twitter, which was a photo of a heavily-injured cat near her home on the eastern outskirts of Oakland. I was shocked and heartbroken when she told me the terrible situation about the cat — it had lost large patches of skin and the bones were almost exposed. She said she had taken the cat to a nearby clinic, and we all believed that the doctors could save this little poor thing. But thinking about its serious injury, I feared the worst. Meanwhile, Sally sent me an invitation to a chat group, in which I got to know other friends of mine. They were from different walks of life, but had the same loving heart. We were gathered for the cause. With more people joining our chat group, we now numbered 10—all brought together by Love, the name that Sally gave the cat. And the doctor at the clinic would share the condition of Love with us in the chat group. 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。 One day, we were suddenly informed that Love’s condition had worsened. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ We immediately brought Love to a big hospital. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, we were suddenly informed that Love’s condition had worsened. The clinic’s equipment was limited, and the doctor suggested transferring her to a larger animal hospital immediately. Panic spread through our chat group. We exchanged messages anxiously, discussing how to get Love the urgent care she needed. Sally was already on her way to the clinic, and the rest of us quickly made plans to meet there. Although I usually avoided social gatherings, this time I didn’t hesitate. Love needed us, and for the first time, I felt a strong sense of belonging and responsibility toward others. We agreed to pool our resources and do whatever it took to save her. We immediately brought Love to a big hospital. Upon arrival, the veterinary team rushed her into surgery. Hours later, the doctor finally came out with a smile — Love had survived the operation. Though she still needed time to recover, the worst was over. We all sighed with relief, some even shedding tears of joy. In the following days, we took turns visiting Love, bringing her food and gentle care. Through this experience, our bond grew stronger, and I realized how much I had changed. The anxiety that once isolated me began to fade, replaced by warmth and connection. Love not only survived — she brought us all closer, proving that even small acts of kindness can heal both animals and humans. 【解析】 【导语】本文以救助受伤小猫“Love”为线索，讲述了作者和朋友们在救助过程中彼此温暖、共同成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有一天，我们突然被告知Love的病情恶化了。”可知，第一段可描写大家得知小猫病情恶化后的焦虑反应、迅速集结以及决定转院的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“我们立即将Love带往一家大医院。”可知，第二段可描写将小猫送往大医院后的手术情况、康复过程以及作者从中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：得知恶化——焦虑讨论——赶往医院——转院手术——手术成功——轮流照顾——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①讨论：exchange messages/discuss ②计划见面：make plans to meet/schedule a meeting ③轮流照顾：take turns /work in shift 情绪类 ①焦急地：anxiously/ with anxiety ②温柔的：gentle/tender 【点睛】[高分句型1] Although I usually avoided social gatherings, this time I didn’t hesitate. （运用了由Although引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型2] Love not only survived — she brought us all closer, proving that even small acts of kindness can heal both animals and humans. （运用了现在分词短语作状语，that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
