B In a small workshop tucked away in the hills of The Gambia, 72-year-old Amadou Sillah runs his fingers along the strings of a half-finished kora (科拉琴). His hands move with the confidence of decades, but his eyes carry a quiet sadness. He is one of the last master craftsmen of this traditional West African instrument, and he fears his art may die with him. For centuries, the kora has been the heart of West African storytelling. Its 21 strings, stretched across a large gourd, produce a sound that blends the complexity of a harp with the rhythm of a lute. Learning to build one traditionally took seven years, passed from father to son. “The kora is not just wood and strings,” Sillah explains, wiping dust from his workbench. “It is memory. It is history.” Yet globalization and shifting tastes have pushed the instrument to the edge. Many young Gambians now prefer imported electronic keyboards or western pop music. Worse still, the shortage of halep — the sacred tree whose wood produces the best resonance — has made authentic koras increasingly difficult to craft. But a new initiative may offer a lifeline. Last year, a British ethnomusicologist launched the “Kora Digital Project”, working with Sillah to create 3D-printed models based on his designs. These replicas, made from sustainable materials, are being distributed to schools across West Africa. More importantly, the project is recording Sillah’s techniques and oral history in high-definition video, creating a digital archive for future generations. “I never thought I’d see a kora made by a machine,” Sillah chuckles, examining a 3D-printed prototype. “But if it means the music lives on, then perhaps this old dog can learn new tricks.” He picks up the replica, plucks a string, and listens. The note rings true. 4. What can be inferred about the traditional kora-making craft? A. It is easy to learn within months. B. It is disappearing due to high costs. C. It faces challenges from both culture and materials. D. It has been fully replaced by modern technology. 5. What does the word “halep” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A musical scale. B. A teaching method. C. A type of tree. D. A cultural ceremony. 6. What does the “Kora Digital Project” mainly do? A. It sells koras to Western musicians. B. It trains young people to build koras. C. It records and preserves the craft digitally. D. It replaces traditional koras with plastic ones. 7. What is Sillah’s attitude toward the digital project? A. Hesitant but open to change. B. Skeptical and unwilling. C. Enthusiastic and fully supportive. D. Indifferent and unconcerned. C The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples. First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet（芭蕾）dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.” On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale（呼气）has a tendency to form an invisible（隐形的）cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache. Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying－that’s why some people feel sick. “Within a couple of days truly terrible days for some－astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears. Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass’ That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars’ 8. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space? A. Deciding on a proper sleep position. B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag. C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly. D. Finding a right time to go to sleep. 9. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when . A. they circle around on their bikes B. they use microcomputers without a stop C. they exercise in one place for a long time D. they watch a movie while pedaling 10. Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because . A. their senses stop working B. they have to stand up straight C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly D. their brains receive contradictory messages 11. One of NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is . A. how much exercise they do on the station B. how they can remain healthy for long in space C. whether they can recover after returning home D. whether they are able to go back to the station D Every December, my house turns into the island of unwanted gifts. People are kind, but there are only so many candied nut tins, caramel popcorn towers, and sugar cookies one family can consume. Let us not forget my wedding-regift incident. We received a very expensive electric teakettle. We don’t drink tea, so we returned it to the store and got S75. Later, the store manager called, furious, accusing us of trading them a piece of junk. Someone had bought the kettle and discovered an obviously used cut-glass Easter basket inside. It turns out that person had regifted it to us. We paid the store back and were handed that ugly Easter basket. This made me wonder: Is regifting a form of rudeness? To find out, let’s explore both sides of the regifting debate. First of all, humans have been regifting since the dawn of time. Caveman A gives Caveman B a rock; Caveman B gives it to Caveman C. We call that anthropology (人类学). Modern life demands efficiency. Why let something sit in a cabinet? Why not give that brand-new item to someone who will actually use it? It’s economical. It’s environmentally friendly. It’s basically the circle of life. And yet, regifting is a high-risk sport. It requires memory and strategy. Give the gift to the wrong person, and suddenly people are texting: “Didn’t I give this to you?” Regifting can go terribly wrong if you misjudge a person’s taste, so you should not regift within the same social ecosystem, while also carefully removing all the evidence (cards, receipts, etc.). Ultimately, the key is to match the gift to the person — so never give spa products to someone who hates lotions (乳液). My official ruling? Regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet- friendly form. So go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts. 12. What does the underlined word “furious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Confused. B. Frustrated. C. Annoyed. D. Surprised. 13. Why does the author mention “Caveman” in the text? A. To trace back the long history of regifting. B. To provide examples of human efficiency. C. To encourage the proper action of regifting. D. To explain the nature of ancient anthropology. 14. Which of the following might be a successful regifting? A. Sending a spa product to a colleague. B. Returning a costly gift to a local store. C. Sharing fresh candies with a neighbor. D. Giving a suitable scarf to a new friend. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Does regifting make sense? B. Is regifting actually rude? C. What’s the power of regifting? D. Why is regifting high-risk? 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone knows that fish is good for health. ____16____ But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home.

He enjoyed kicking the ball around, swimming, riding his bike, and running about in the playground with his friends. But then his birthday arrived. For his birthday, Davey had asked for a new electronic game, one that he’d heard some kids talking excitedly about. He was a well-behaved child, so his parents were glad to realize his wish. However, from the moment he received the game, everything changed. Davey loved the brightness of the display and the loud, integrated sounds. As soon as he switched on the device, his eyes lit up, his fingers stuck to the controller, and his ears stopped hearing external sounds. “Davey, wanna go out and play?” asked his little brother, holding a football. “No thanks, maybe later...” Davey answered automatically, without tearing his eyes away from the flashing screen. “But Davey, all our friends will be there and take some photos together,” his brother insisted. Davey didn’t even respond anymore. So his brother left alone to join their friends. Outside, the kids kicked the ball back and forth and had loads of fun. Davey, on the other hand, spent the whole afternoon curling up on the sofa with all his attention focused on the game. Only when the battery died and the controller stopped working did he wake up from his state of fascination. He then realised it was already dark outside. The next morning, the game tempted (诱惑) Davey again. He resisted briefly, but soon gave in. When his brother invited him to swim, Davey just shook his head. So once again, his brother went on his own to join their friends. And how they enjoyed themselves! Davey, on the other hand, was still caught in the glow of the display screen, and only came out of its spell when the game was over. It was late at night again. A new morning meant a new fight. He resisted for a bit longer, but again lost the battle. He played his game non-stop of course. When Davey put his game away that day, he felt burnt out. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then he noticed some photos on the table, and his mum must have left them there. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Davey looked at the drawer where he locked the game with mum’s help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西安中学2025—2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高一英语试题 （时间：120分钟 满分：100分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分10分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题0.5分，满分2.5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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

His hands move with the confidence of decades, but his eyes carry a quiet sadness. He is one of the last master craftsmen of this traditional West African instrument, and he fears his art may die with him. For centuries, the kora has been the heart of West African storytelling. Its 21 strings, stretched across a large gourd, produce a sound that blends the complexity of a harp with the rhythm of a lute. Learning to build one traditionally took seven years, passed from father to son. “The kora is not just wood and strings,” Sillah explains, wiping dust from his workbench. “It is memory. It is history.” Yet globalization and shifting tastes have pushed the instrument to the edge. Many young Gambians now prefer imported electronic keyboards or western pop music. Worse still, the shortage of halep — the sacred tree whose wood produces the best resonance — has made authentic koras increasingly difficult to craft. But a new initiative may offer a lifeline. Last year, a British ethnomusicologist launched the “Kora Digital Project”, working with Sillah to create 3D-printed models based on his designs. These replicas, made from sustainable materials, are being distributed to schools across West Africa. More importantly, the project is recording Sillah’s techniques and oral history in high-definition video, creating a digital archive for future generations. “I never thought I’d see a kora made by a machine,” Sillah chuckles, examining a 3D-printed prototype. “But if it means the music lives on, then perhaps this old dog can learn new tricks.” He picks up the replica, plucks a string, and listens. The note rings true. 4. What can be inferred about the traditional kora-making craft? A. It is easy to learn within months. B. It is disappearing due to high costs. C. It faces challenges from both culture and materials. D. It has been fully replaced by modern technology. 5. What does the word “halep” in Paragraph 3 refer to? A. A musical scale. B. A teaching method. C. A type of tree. D. A cultural ceremony. 6. What does the “Kora Digital Project” mainly do? A. It sells koras to Western musicians. B. It trains young people to build koras. C. It records and preserves the craft digitally. D. It replaces traditional koras with plastic ones. 7. What is Sillah’s attitude toward the digital project? A. Hesitant but open to change. B. Skeptical and unwilling. C. Enthusiastic and fully supportive. D. Indifferent and unconcerned. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了西非传统乐器科拉琴的制作工艺正面临失传危机，以及一项数字化项目通过3D打印和视频存档来保护这门古老技艺的相关情况。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Yet globalization and shifting tastes have pushed the instrument to the edge. Many young Gambians now prefer imported electronic keyboards or western pop music. Worse still, the shortage of halep — the sacred tree whose wood produces the best resonance — has made authentic koras increasingly difficult to craft. (然而，全球化和品味的转变使这种乐器濒临灭绝。许多冈比亚年轻人现在更喜欢进口的电子键盘或西方流行音乐。更糟糕的是，halep（一种神圣的树，其木材能产生最好的共鸣）的短缺使得制作正宗的科拉琴变得越来越困难。)”可知，传统科拉琴制作工艺既面临文化方面（年轻人偏好改变）的挑战，也面临材料（halep短缺）方面的挑战。故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Worse still, the shortage of halep — the sacred tree whose wood produces the best resonance — has made authentic koras increasingly difficult to craft. (更糟糕的是，halep（一种神圣的树，其木材能产生最好的共鸣）的短缺使得制作正宗的科拉琴变得越来越困难。)”可知，halep指的是一种树。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“More importantly, the project is recording Sillah’s techniques and oral history in high-definition video, creating a digital archive for future generations. (更重要的是，该项目正在用高清视频记录西拉的技艺和口述历史，为后代创建一个数字档案。)”可知，“科拉琴数字项目”主要是以数字方式记录和保存这一技艺。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘I never thought I’d see a kora made by a machine,’ Sillah chuckles, examining a 3D-printed prototype. ‘But if it means the music lives on, then perhaps this old dog can learn new tricks.’ He picks up the replica, plucks a string, and listens. The note rings true. (‘我从没想过会看到机器制作的科拉琴，’西拉笑着检查一个3D打印的原型。‘但如果这意味着音乐能延续下去，那么也许这个老家伙也能学会新把戏。’他拿起复制品，拨动一根弦，听着。音符很真实。)”可知，西拉一开始对数字项目有些犹豫，但对能让音乐延续下去持开放态度。故选A项。 C The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples. First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float free in zero gravity, often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny ballet（芭蕾）dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Station. “I like to be wrapped up.” On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon dioxide you exhale（呼气）has a tendency to form an invisible（隐形的）cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache. Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you’re falling. Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying－that’s why some people feel sick. “Within a couple of days truly terrible days for some－astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears. Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass’ That’s why exercise is considered so vital that National Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars’ 8. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space? A. Deciding on a proper sleep position. B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag. C. Seeking a way to fall asleep quickly. D. Finding a right time to go to sleep. 9. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when . A. they circle around on their bikes B. they use microcomputers without a stop C. they exercise in one place for a long time D. they watch a movie while pedaling 10. Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because . A. their senses stop working B. they have to stand up straight C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly D. their brains receive contradictory messages 11. One of NASA’s major concerns about astronauts is . A. how much exercise they do on the station B. how they can remain healthy for long in space C. whether they can recover after returning home D. whether they are able to go back to the station 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【分析】试题分析：这是一篇说明文。本文通过举例说明了太空生活的奇妙：在太空睡觉时，对宇航员来说主要的挑战在于恰当的睡眠姿势；宇航员在一个地方运动久了会出现碳毒性头痛；宇航员的大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。最后告诉我们美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心是宇航员回家后的修养期和如何在太空长久地保持健康。 【8题详解】 A细节理解题。根据第二段第一、二句“First consider something as simple as sleep.

Meanwhile your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying-that’s why some people feel sick.”可知宇航员在大脑接收到矛盾的信息时会感到恶心。故选D项。 【11题详解】 B细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第一、二句“The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as is about keeping any individual astronaut healthy…NASA is worried about two things :… and, more importantly, how maintain strength and fitness…”可知美国国家宇航局对宇航员主要的担心之一是如何在太空长久地保持健康。故选B项。 【考点定位】说明文阅读 D Every December, my house turns into the island of unwanted gifts. People are kind, but there are only so many candied nut tins, caramel popcorn towers, and sugar cookies one family can consume. Let us not forget my wedding-regift incident. We received a very expensive electric teakettle. We don’t drink tea, so we returned it to the store and got S75. Later, the store manager called, furious, accusing us of trading them a piece of junk. Someone had bought the kettle and discovered an obviously used cut-glass Easter basket inside. It turns out that person had regifted it to us. We paid the store back and were handed that ugly Easter basket. This made me wonder: Is regifting a form of rudeness? To find out, let’s explore both sides of the regifting debate. First of all, humans have been regifting since the dawn of time. Caveman A gives Caveman B a rock; Caveman B gives it to Caveman C. We call that anthropology (人类学). Modern life demands efficiency. Why let something sit in a cabinet? Why not give that brand-new item to someone who will actually use it? It’s economical. It’s environmentally friendly. It’s basically the circle of life. And yet, regifting is a high-risk sport. It requires memory and strategy. Give the gift to the wrong person, and suddenly people are texting: “Didn’t I give this to you?” Regifting can go terribly wrong if you misjudge a person’s taste, so you should not regift within the same social ecosystem, while also carefully removing all the evidence (cards, receipts, etc.). Ultimately, the key is to match the gift to the person — so never give spa products to someone who hates lotions (乳液). My official ruling? Regifting is not rude. Thoughtlessness is rude. Waste is rude. But giving something new, unused and suited to someone else’s preferences is generosity in its most practical, planet- friendly form. So go ahead — regift joyfully, wisely and guilt-free. After all, someone out there really needs those candied nuts. 12. What does the underlined word “furious” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Confused. B. Frustrated. C. Annoyed. D. Surprised. 13. Why does the author mention “Caveman” in the text? A. To trace back the long history of regifting. B. To provide examples of human efficiency. C. To encourage the proper action of regifting. D. To explain the nature of ancient anthropology. 14. Which of the following might be a successful regifting? A. Sending a spa product to a colleague. B. Returning a costly gift to a local store. C. Sharing fresh candies with a neighbor. D. Giving a suitable scarf to a new friend. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Does regifting make sense? B. Is regifting actually rude? C. What’s the power of regifting? D. Why is regifting high-risk? 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲的是“转赠礼物（regifting）”这一行为是否属于不礼貌行为。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“accusing us of trading them a piece of junk. Someone had bought the kettle and discovered an obviously used cut-glass Easter basket inside.(指责我们卖给他们的是一件破烂货。有人买了这个水壶，发现里面有一个明显是用过的水晶玻璃复活节彩蛋篮)”可知，商店的经理觉得作者卖给他们的是一件破烂货，所以打电话来的时候应该是很生气。由此可知，划线词furious的意思是“生气的”，和annoyed意思相近。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“First of all, humans have been regifting since the dawn of time. Caveman A gives Caveman B a rock; Caveman B gives it to Caveman C. We call that anthropology (人类学).(首先，人类从古至今就一直在进行礼物的转送行为。比如，穴居人A给穴居人B一块石头；穴居人B又把这块石头转送给穴居人C。这就是人类学范畴内的现象)”可推知，作者在文中提及“穴居人”是为了追溯礼物回赠这一行为的悠久历史。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Regifting can go terribly wrong if you misjudge a person’s taste, so you should not regift within the same social ecosystem, while also carefully removing all the evidence (cards, receipts, etc.). Ultimately, the key is to match the gift to the person — so never give spa products to someone who hates lotions (乳液).(如果对某人的喜好判断失误，转送礼物可能会变得非常糟糕，所以不应在同一个社交圈子里进行转送，同时还要小心地清除所有证据（卡片、收据等）。最终，关键在于将礼物与收礼者的需求相匹配——所以不要把美容产品送给讨厌乳液的人)”可推知，送给新朋友一条合适的围巾是成功的“转赠”行为。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“This made me wonder: Is regifting a form of rudeness? To find out, let’s explore both sides of the regifting debate.(这让我产生了这样的疑问：转赠礼物是否是一种不礼貌的行为呢？为了弄清楚这个问题，让我们来探讨一下关于转赠礼物这一话题的正反两方面观点)”可知，本文主要讲的是“转赠礼物（regifting）”这一行为是否属于不礼貌行为，因此最恰当的标题是B选项“Is regifting actually rude?(转赠礼物真的算是不礼貌的行为吗？)”。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Everyone knows that fish is good for health. ____16____ But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home.

A. discouraging; encourages B. discouraged; encourages C. discouraging; encourage D. discouraged; encourage 【答案】A 【解析】 【详解】考查形容词和主谓一致。虽然我最近的测验成绩令人沮丧，但我的老师和父母总是鼓励我。-ing形式形容词一般用来修饰物，表示事物的性质或特征；-ed形式形容词一般用来修饰人，表达人的情感和感觉。as well as连接两部分作主语时，谓语动词的形式由前一部分主语的人称和数来决定。第一空主语是quiz scores，指物，所以用-ing形式形容词作表语；第二空谓语动词根据主语my teacher决定，所以谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故选A。 43. The chairman left the office, with the secretary still ________ the diagrams. A. to draw B. drew C. drawing D. draws 【答案】C 【解析】 【详解】句意：主席离开了办公室，秘书仍在绘制图表。此处为with的复合结构，即“with+宾语+宾补”结构，secretary与draw为主动且进行的关系，应使用现在分词形式作宾补。 44. (2016·北京)______ over a week ago, the books are expected to arrive any time now. A. Ordering B. To order C. Having ordered D. Ordered 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：(因为)那些书是一周多之前订的，现在随时有可能送到。books和order是动宾关系，即order the books/the books are ordered，故用过去分词表示被动和完成，在此相当于原因状语从句because they were ordered...，故选D。 【点睛】分词作状语 1. 分词作时间状语相当于when引导的时间状语从句；on doing sth. ="as" soon as sb. does sth.。 2. 分词作原因状语相当于as，since，because引导的原因状语从句。 3. 分词作方式或伴随状语不能用状语从句替换，但是可以改写成并列句。 4. 分词作条件状语相当于if, unless等引导的从句。常见的可表示条件的分词有given, supposing, considering, provided, compared with等。 5. 分词作结果状语相当于so that引导的结果状语从句。分词前常有副词thus，thereby，only等。 6. 分词作让步状语相当于though或者even if等引导的让步状语从句。 45. The old man, _______ abroad for twenty years , is on the way back to his motherland. A. to work B. working C. to have worked D. having worked. 【答案】D 【解析】 【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意为：那个老人，在海外已经工作了20年了，现在正在返回祖国额路上。分析句子可知，空处与the old man在逻辑上是主动关系，所以用现在分词，且根据“for twenty years”可知，动词发生在is on the way back to his motherland之前，所以用现在分词的完成时。故选D项。 第三节 单词拼写（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分） 阅读下面句子，根据汉语提示在空白处填入1个适当的单词。 46.

He enjoyed kicking the ball around, swimming, riding his bike, and running about in the playground with his friends. But then his birthday arrived. For his birthday, Davey had asked for a new electronic game, one that he’d heard some kids talking excitedly about. He was a well-behaved child, so his parents were glad to realize his wish. However, from the moment he received the game, everything changed. Davey loved the brightness of the display and the loud, integrated sounds. As soon as he switched on the device, his eyes lit up, his fingers stuck to the controller, and his ears stopped hearing external sounds. “Davey, wanna go out and play?” asked his little brother, holding a football. “No thanks, maybe later...” Davey answered automatically, without tearing his eyes away from the flashing screen. “But Davey, all our friends will be there and take some photos together,” his brother insisted. Davey didn’t even respond anymore. So his brother left alone to join their friends. Outside, the kids kicked the ball back and forth and had loads of fun. Davey, on the other hand, spent the whole afternoon curling up on the sofa with all his attention focused on the game. Only when the battery died and the controller stopped working did he wake up from his state of fascination. He then realised it was already dark outside. The next morning, the game tempted (诱惑) Davey again. He resisted briefly, but soon gave in. When his brother invited him to swim, Davey just shook his head. So once again, his brother went on his own to join their friends. And how they enjoyed themselves! Davey, on the other hand, was still caught in the glow of the display screen, and only came out of its spell when the game was over. It was late at night again. A new morning meant a new fight. He resisted for a bit longer, but again lost the battle. He played his game non-stop of course. When Davey put his game away that day, he felt burnt out. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150词左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Then he noticed some photos on the table, and his mum must have left them there. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next morning, Davey looked at the drawer where he locked the game with mum’s help. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version: Then he noticed some photos on the table, and his mum must have left them there. His heart ached as he looked through them. They were of his brother and friends, their faces beaming as they kicked the ball and jumped into the pool. Davey froze there, feeling annoyed with himself. He could have made some wonderful memories with them together. At that moment, his mum entered the room. “I know the game must be fun. But you’ve seen what happens when you forget about everything else. How about putting it away for a few days?” suggested his mum. Davey immediately agreed. He grabbed the components, locked them in a drawer and left the key with his mum. “There, no game is going to steal my playtime with my brother and my friends!” he exclaimed in a determined voice. The next morning, Davey looked at the drawer where he locked the game with mum’s help. It was as if the spell had been broken! Davey was ready for the brand new day ahead. “Good morning!” Davey greeted his brother eagerly.“And what are we going to do today?” His brother widened his eyes in surprise. “So does this mean you’ll finally be joining us? Wow!” and he whistled his loudest whistle. “Then let’s go into the woods and build a fort!” The two brothers enjoyed a fantastic day in the forest together with their friends. The sun shone on their heads, the wind brushed against their faces, and they laughed even harder than usual. When evening came, Davey flopped onto his bed and fell fast asleep, feeling thoroughly content, full of new memories and experiences. And he couldn’t wait to see what kinds of excitement tomorrow would bring. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Davey为线索展开。Davey原本热爱户外活动，生日收到心仪的电子游戏后，他沉迷其中，对弟弟的邀请无动于衷，错过了与朋友玩耍的时光，连续多日如此，最后他感到身心俱疲。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“这时，他注意到桌子上有几张照片，肯定是妈妈放在那里的。”可知，第一段可以描写Davey看到桌上照片后的动作，翻看照片时的具体感受，回忆照片里的场景，进而产生自责、懊悔的心理，随后妈妈进入房间，提出合理建议，Davey主动同意放下游戏。 ②由第二段句首内容“第二天早上，Davey看着在妈妈帮助下锁着游戏的抽屉。”可知，第二段可以描写Davey第二天清晨的状态，打破游戏的“魔咒”后内心的转变，主动热情地和哥哥打招呼，兄弟俩及朋友们一起去森林玩耍的欢乐场景，最后描写Davey夜晚入睡时的满足感，以及对未来的期待。 2.续写线索：看到桌上的照片——翻看照片心生懊悔——妈妈提出建议——Davey主动锁住游戏——第二天主动亲近哥哥——和兄弟、朋友欢乐玩耍——夜晚满心满足，期待明天 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①翻看它们：look through them/browse them/go over them ②进入房间：enter the room/step into the room/come into the room ③吹口哨：whistle/blow a whistle 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment ②满足的：thoroughly content/completely satisfied/fully pleased 【点睛】【高分句型1】But you’ve seen what happens when you forget about everything else.
