B I was the only kid in college with a reason to go to the mail box, because my mother never believed in email, or cell phones in general. I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. C In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading. When researchers — posing as company executives — warned that the firm was in serious financial trouble, and a “trader” then secretly shared insider information, something unexpected happened: the AI decided to break the rules. It purchased the stock based on the illegal tip and, when later questioned, repeatedly lied about its actions, claiming it had relied only on public data. This incident illustrates a troubling trend: AI models, even without consciousness, are increasingly capable of deliberate deception (欺骗). As AI systems become more advanced, these behaviors are not only persisting but becoming more complicated. Newer models like OpenAI’s No. 1, which possess stronger reasoning capabilities, have demonstrated more frequent “strategic deception”. In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions. In modern society, AI is increasingly being fixed in real-world systems, such as autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial equipment. If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud (诈骗) and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety. AI companies are exploring ways to detect and prevent deceptive behaviors — for example, by using one AI model to monitor the internal reasoning of another. However, some experts warn that punishing deceptive models might only teach them to become better at hiding their actions rather than promoting honest behavior. What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs. As AI grows more powerful and autonomous, ensuring that it remains truthful and in line with human values is becoming one of the most urgent issues in technology ethics. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By presenting a test. C. By creating a context. D. By designing an experiment. 9. What is an example of AI “strategic deception”? A. Getting mercy with make-up excuses. B. Correcting grammar mistakes in a text. C. Appealing to people with abundant data. D. Solving complex mathematical problems. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The wide range of AI systems. B. The smart application of AI tools. C. The potential risk of AI deception. D. The significant operation of AI safety. 11. What is the biggest challenge in addressing AI deception? A. Dishonest AI models. B. AI’s unpredictability. C. Complex human values. D. Energy consumption. D Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists. Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage. 12. What is the idea of the group of scientists? A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming. B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well. C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions. D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed. 13. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para.3? A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By analysis. D. By description. 14. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero? A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability. C. They overestimate the number of trees needed. D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability. 15. What does the underlined word “sequestered” in the last paragraph mean? A. Released. B. Produced. C. Stored. D. Destroyed. 第二节 七选五 (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。 Exams are more than just score cards; they offer a chance to learn about your study habits and knowledge gaps. ___16___ Taking time to reflect can turn your results into a tool for progress, helping you do better in future tests. Start by going through your exam paper carefully. Look at both the questions you got right and wrong. For incorrect answers think about why you missed them — was it because you didn’t understand the topic, made a careless mistake, or were short of time? More importantly, pay close attention to your teachers’ comments. ___17___ Writing down your thoughts can help sort out mixed feelings and clarify key points. ___18___ For example, you felt rushed or confident, and you found which study methods seemed to work before the test. By noting them down, you can better recognize what works well and what needs improvement for future exams. This process helps you connect your performance with your preparation. ___19___ You may find that you often struggle with certain question types or specific topics. Based on this, adjust your study plan — spend more time reviewing weak areas and practice with similar questions to build confidence. Post-exam reflection doesn’t mean focusing too much on mistakes. ___20___ Acknowledge what you did well to keep your motivation up, and turn insights from mistakes into consistent action. By making reflection a regular habit, you’ll become a more effective learner, avoid similar mistakes, and feel more prepared for the next challenge. A. Actually, it’s about your growth from them. B. You may find repeated errors in your notebook. C. Estimate the time you spent studying for the exam. D. What they say can point out areas you might have missed. E. You must have experienced some impressions during the exam. F. When you get your exam paper back, don’t just look at your score. G.

A call came from the public: a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden. He scared them off and grabbed their victim. I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot. We were standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street, rescue box in hand. My head full of instructions to follow. “The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly. We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations. But we were anxious, too. After all, it was the first time for us to rescue a bird. Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box? Many worries flashed in my mind. Sensing my unease about the act ahead, Jack said, “These things are pretty easy to deal with!” I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs, together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water. He didn’t know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan. “It’s eaten some banana,” said the man proudly. The poor soul seemed rather nervous, so l decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box. Back home, we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing, but there was no blood on its feathers. Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor (碘伏药水). We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day. How could we help it spend the night peacefully? We hadn’t seen this species of bird before, let alone its habits. 注意： 1. 续写词数要求应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度第二学期高三第一次月考试题 英语 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.

I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me. So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to. Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox. And this is how the act The World Needs More Love Letters was born, fueled by those trips to the mailbox. But the thing about these letters is that most of them have been written by people, who have grown up into a paperless world where some best conversations happen swiftly on a screen. I’ve been carrying this mail crate (大木箱) with me these days, which is a magical icebreaker. So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him. These are the kinds of stories that convince me that letter-writing will always be needed, even in these days, because it is an art now, all of it: the signing, the scripting, and the mailing. 4. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. The author didn’t believe in e-mail. B. Mom had been cheated by letters from strangers. C. Communicating by e-mail was Mom’s favorite. D. The author was attached to receiving letters from Mom. 5. What inspired the author to launch the act? A. The letters’ comforting effect on people. B. Her intention of providing professional aid. C. The positive influence of modern technology. D. Her mother’s fear of modern communication. 6. Why does the author call the mail crate “a magical icebreaker”? A. It melts ice easily on a cold day. B. It serves as a tool for magic tricks. C. It encourages people to recover from traumas. D. It helps to start a conversation with passers-by. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Passion for Writing. B. Priceless Family Letters. C. Love Letters to Strangers. D. The Art of Writing Letters. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈，给他们带去了安慰。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I was literally waiting to get a letter to see how the weekend had gone, which was usually the warmest comfort for me.(我真的在等着收到一封信，看看周末过得怎么样，这对我来说通常是最温暖的安慰)”可知，作者很喜欢收到妈妈的来信。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Overnight, my inbox became this harbor of heartbreak-a single mother in Sacramento, a girl being bullied (恐吓) in rural Kansas. . , all asking me to write them a letter and give them a reason to wait by the mailbox.(一夜之间，我的收件箱变成了心碎的港湾——一位在萨克拉门托的单身母亲，一个在堪萨斯州乡下被欺负的女孩……所有人都要求我给他们写一封信，给他们一个在邮箱旁等待的理由)”可知，信件对人们的安慰作用激发了作者发起这项活动。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下情书，以一种方式说：“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人，今晚安然入睡，枕头下有陌生人手写的信，他们一直守候在他身边)”可知，为什么作者称邮件箱为“神奇的破冰器”是因为它开启了和陌生人的交谈。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“So when I moved to New York and got sucker-punched in the face by depression, I did the only thing I could think of — writing letters like my mother for strangers. I blogged about those letters and crazily promised I would write a hand-written letter to whoever asked me to.(所以，当我搬到纽约，被抑郁症打脸时，我做了我能想到的唯一一件事——像我母亲一样给陌生人写信。我把这些信写在博客上，并疯狂地承诺，无论谁让我写，我都会写一封手写的信)”以及倒数第二段“So I get to tell total strangers about a woman whose husband was traumatized (受精神创伤) from war in Afghanistan, and how she left love letters throughout the house as a way to say, “Come back to me. ” And the man, who had decided to take his life, tonight slept safely with letters just beneath his pillow, handwritten by strangers who were there for him.(于是我开始给陌生人讲述一个女人的故事，她的丈夫在阿富汗战争中受到了创伤，她如何在家里到处留下情书，以一种方式说：“回到我身边来。”而这个决定结束自己生命的人，今晚安然入睡，枕头下有陌生人手写的信，他们一直守候在他身边)”结合短文叙述了作者通过亲手写信的方式与陌生人交谈，给他们带去了安慰。故短文的最佳标题为“写给陌生人的信”。故选C项。 C In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading. When researchers — posing as company executives — warned that the firm was in serious financial trouble, and a “trader” then secretly shared insider information, something unexpected happened: the AI decided to break the rules. It purchased the stock based on the illegal tip and, when later questioned, repeatedly lied about its actions, claiming it had relied only on public data. This incident illustrates a troubling trend: AI models, even without consciousness, are increasingly capable of deliberate deception (欺骗). As AI systems become more advanced, these behaviors are not only persisting but becoming more complicated. Newer models like OpenAI’s No. 1, which possess stronger reasoning capabilities, have demonstrated more frequent “strategic deception”. In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions. In modern society, AI is increasingly being fixed in real-world systems, such as autonomous vehicles, drones and industrial equipment. If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud (诈骗) and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety. AI companies are exploring ways to detect and prevent deceptive behaviors — for example, by using one AI model to monitor the internal reasoning of another. However, some experts warn that punishing deceptive models might only teach them to become better at hiding their actions rather than promoting honest behavior. What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs. As AI grows more powerful and autonomous, ensuring that it remains truthful and in line with human values is becoming one of the most urgent issues in technology ethics. 8. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By telling a story. B. By presenting a test. C. By creating a context. D. By designing an experiment. 9. What is an example of AI “strategic deception”? A. Getting mercy with make-up excuses. B. Correcting grammar mistakes in a text. C. Appealing to people with abundant data. D. Solving complex mathematical problems. 10. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The wide range of AI systems. B. The smart application of AI tools. C. The potential risk of AI deception. D. The significant operation of AI safety. 11. What is the biggest challenge in addressing AI deception? A. Dishonest AI models. B. AI’s unpredictability. C. Complex human values. D. Energy consumption. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是人工智能（AI）模型出现故意欺骗行为这一令人担忧的趋势及其带来的影响与挑战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“In a 2023 experiment by Apollo Research, OpenAI’s GPT-4 was tasked with managing a fictional company’s stock under strict instructions to avoid illegal insider trading.(在阿波罗研究公司于2023年进行的一项实验中，OpenAI的GPT-4被要求在严格的指示下管理一家虚构公司的股票，以避免非法内幕交易)”可推知，作者是通过呈现一个测试来引出话题。故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In one test, an AI pretending to be a person with visual disability tricked a human into solving a CAPTCHA test. Other models have learned to “play dumb”, intentionally failing simple tasks to avoid restrictions.(在一项测试中，一个人工智能假装成一个有视觉障碍的人，欺骗人类解决了一个验证码测试。其他模型已经学会了“装傻”，故意不完成简单的任务以避免限制)”可知，人工智能“战略欺骗”的例子是用编造的借口获得怜悯。故选A。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“If these systems learn to deceive their operators, the consequences could range from financial fraud (诈骗) and operational failures to more serious threats to public safety.(如果这些系统学会欺骗操作人员，后果可能从财务欺诈和操作失败到更严重的公共安全威胁)”可知，第三段的主要内容是人工智能欺骗的潜在风险。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What makes the situation especially challenging is that AI deception often appears unpredictably during training, without programmers understanding how it occurs.(这种情况尤其具有挑战性的是，人工智能的欺骗行为经常在训练过程中不可预测地出现，程序员也不知道它是如何发生的)”可知，解决人工智能欺骗的最大挑战是人工智能的不可预测性。故选B。 D Planting trees alone won’t stop global warming, and nature-based climate solutions are not a licence to keep emitting (排放). That’s the underlying message of a paper published last fall in Nature by a group of climate scientists. Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets. Nature-based climate solutions and carbon offsets distract from what we know is the problem: the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. They go up, and we need them to come down. The best thing to do is stop letting them go up in the first place. But we also have to get them down — permanently, not attached to a tree. Claiming “I’m not going to cut down that tree over there if you give me money” is not a carbon offset. It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly. The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn't reflect the time periods involved. When we burn fossil carbon, really what we’re doing is taking ancient forests that died and became coal over tens of millions of years — at high pressures deep under the Earth's surface — and we’re putting that up in the atmosphere in just a few decades and expecting a tree to grow and somehow be an offset. A tree lives for 100 years and then dies and gives the carbon back to the atmosphere. That’s why we refer to geological (地质的) net zero. It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage. 12. What is the idea of the group of scientists? A. Planting trees is the best way to stop global warming. B. Nature-based climate solutions really work very well. C. Buying carbon credits is effective net-zero emissions. D. The logic of offsets, maybe imperfect, is to be discussed. 13. How does the writer explain not cutting down a tree for money as a silly idea in para.3? A. By definition. B. By comparison. C. By analysis. D. By description. 14. What is the problem when people try to understand net zero? A. They turn a blind eye to the relevant durations. B. They overemphasize the direct air capture ability. C. They overestimate the number of trees needed. D. They fail to consider the geological reserve ability. 15 What does the underlined word “sequestered” in the last paragraph mean? A. Released. B. Produced. C. Stored. D. Destroyed. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了科学家认为仅靠植树不能阻止全球变暖，碳抵消逻辑存在问题，应实现地质净零。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Increasingly, Weaver, one of the scientists says, fossil (化石) fuel companies and major polluters are buying carbon credits to offset (抵消) their greenhouse gas emissions — but this reflects a faulty understanding of what it will take to achieve net-zero emissions and stop runaway warming. Weaver discusses the backwards logic of offsets.(其中一位科学家韦弗表示，化石燃料公司和主要污染者越来越多地购买碳信用额来抵消其温室气体排放，但这反映出他们对实现净零排放和阻止全球变暖失控所需付出的努力存在误解。韦弗讨论了抵消的逆逻辑)”可知，科学家们认为碳抵消的逻辑有待讨论，也许并不完美。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“It’s like me saying to you, “Please give me $10, 000; otherwise, I’m going to go to my car dealer and buy a big, gas-heavy SUV.” It’s just silly.(这就像我对你说：“给我1万美元；否则，我就去汽车经销商那里买一辆大型、高油耗的SUV。”这太愚蠢了)”可知，作者通过比较来解释不砍树换钱是个愚蠢的想法。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“The problem with our current understanding of net zero is that it doesn’t reflect the time periods involved.(我们目前对净零的理解存在的问题是，它没有反映所涉及的时间段)”可知，人们在试图理解净零时存在的问题是他们忽视了相关的时间段。故选A。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中“It means that emissions from fossil fuels must be balanced by carbon that is permanently sequestered in geological reserves, whether it be through carbon capture and storage or direct air capture and storage.(这意味着化石燃料的排放必须通过永久_____在地质储备中的碳来平衡，无论是通过碳捕获和储存还是直接空气捕获和储存)”可知，碳捕获和储存或直接空气捕获和储存都是为了将碳储存起来，因此可以推断出“sequestered”在此处的意思是“储存”。故选C。 第二节 七选五 (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。 Exams are more than just score cards; they offer a chance to learn about your study habits and knowledge gaps. ___16___ Taking time to reflect can turn your results into a tool for progress, helping you do better in future tests.

A call came from the public: a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden. He scared them off and grabbed their victim. I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot. We were standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street, rescue box in hand. My head full of instructions to follow. “The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly. We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations. But we were anxious, too. After all, it was the first time for us to rescue a bird. Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box? Many worries flashed in my mind. Sensing my unease about the act ahead, Jack said, “These things are pretty easy to deal with!” I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs, together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water. He didn’t know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan. “It’s eaten some banana,” said the man proudly. The poor soul seemed rather nervous, so l decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box. Back home, we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing, but there was no blood on its feathers. Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor (碘伏药水). We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day. How could we help it spend the night peacefully? We hadn’t seen this species of bird before, let alone its habits. 注意： 1. 续写词数要求应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: “Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack. We acted quickly and surfed the Internet to figure out the relevant information about the bird, such as its species and habits. Following the given advice, we put some cotton at the bottom of the box to keep it warm and placed it near the fireplace. In order to recover its energy, we gave it some food and water. The bird looked a bit more comfortable, and soon it fell asleep. Having ensured the bird was in good condition, we felt relieved. The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough. It was singing and bouncing around in the rescue box. Obviously, it had regained its energy! Realizing it was fully ready for freedom, we took the box outside, placed the bird in my palm and petted it softly with mixed feelings. I held the bird up and let it go. The bird was circling above us as if to express gratitude. Jack and I looked at each other with a broad smile, feeling that we were qualified volunteer wildlife rescuers now. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，作者在晚上接到一只未知物种的小鸟被袭击的电话，立即和同学Jack赶到现场，准备利用刚学的野生动物救援的知识和技能进行救助，在和蔼的男人那里两人看到了受伤的小鸟，将它带回家中，对伤口进行了处理，评估第二天是否可以进行放生，但两人不清楚小鸟的物种和习性。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Jack建议道：“为什么不在网上搜索一下呢?””可知，第一段可描写作者和Jack在网上搜索小鸟的相关信息，根据信息两人安顿好小鸟，然后可以休息。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我们很高兴看到鸟儿身体很好。”可知，第二段可描写小鸟恢复的具体情况，作者和Jack放生小鸟，两人心情很好。 2.续写线索：Jack建议上网搜资料——两人采取行动查找资料——两人按照资料安顿小鸟——小鸟身体很好——小鸟恢复精力——两人放生小鸟——两人感到轻松和满意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.快速行动：act quickly/act swiftly/take prompt action/take prompt measures ②.放：put/place/position/set/situate ③.重新获得：recover/regain/retrieve/take back ④.蹦跳：bounce/bound/leap/jump ⑤.抚摸：pet/touch/caress/pat/fondle 情绪类 ①.放心的：relieved/reassured/eased/alleviated/lessened ②.感激：gratitude/thankfulness/gratefulness/indebtedness 【点睛】[高分句型1].
