I wanted to avoid the shame of a participation award. After all, I was doing the triathlon with my son, Zane. I didn’t want him to perceive his dad as a total loser. I’m not much of an athlete. I find lung-burning competitive sports deeply unpleasant. But my son suggested we do a triathlon together. I felt I couldn’t say no to my son. So I entered for a triathlon weeks later. When we got to the base camp, other competitors looked strong and well-trained. During the swimming part, the icy water took my breath away and made me gasp. Zane pulled away with strong freestyle strokes (游泳姿势). I used the breaststroke. Eventually, I made it back to land. During the cycling part, I was repeatedly overtaken. The running portion was my least favorite. I was confident I could stay ahead of an elderly woman in her 70s. Yet she passed me in the final mile, leaving me completely last. There I was. Alone. Worse, I was joined by a four-wheeled symbol of shame: the official ambulance behind me in case I collapsed. Finally, I finished 121st out of 121 racers. I felt embarrassed at first and made many excuses. But on the way home, my shame disappeared, replaced by pride. I realized I had achieved something more impressive than competing in a triathlon. I had redefined my last-place finish as a victory. I wasn’t racing against others. I was racing against myself. I showed my son that it’s okay not to win as long as you try your best. Last place can also be glorious, for it shows how much effort you have made, as well as your persistence and courage. I may not be a good athlete, but I’m a champion at changing the way I see failure. 4. Why did the author refuse to finish last at first? A. He desired to outperform others. B. He feared to disappoint his son. C. He hoped to win a special prize. D. He hated to lose face in public. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gasp” in paragraph 2? A. Panic greatly. B. Cheer silently. C. Shake violently. D. Breathe sharply. 6. What made the author’s embarrassment disappear? A. Beating the old woman in the final mile. B. Getting his son’s comfort during the race. C. Redefining what finishing the race means. D. Receiving audience praise along the way. 7. What message does the story convey? A. Effort itself is victory. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Time waits for no man. D. Pride goes before a fall. C Imagine walking across endless rolling hills bathed in warm sunshine, filled with the soft songs of birds. This peaceful natural scene is growing rare in modern society. As bird populations drop, our natural soundscapes are becoming quieter. People are losing touch with nature, a situation called the “extinction of experience”, which has been connected to worsening physical and mental health. Birds’ bright colors and cheerful songs make our time outdoors more enjoyable. A full dawn chorus is like a rich orchestra performance. However, without a wide variety of birds, the natural “music” becomes dull and unimpressive. Our research focused on English vineyards (葡萄园), where grapes are grown in order to produce wine and wine tourism is rapidly developing. We studied bird communities on 21 vineyards and recorded the natural sounds to analyze the complexity and loudness. The results showed that vineyards with more bird species had much more lively and varied soundscapes. To find out if such soundscapes affect human well-being, we tested 186 wine-tour visitors across three vineyards. In some areas, we added recorded songs of extra bird species through hidden speakers. Visitors exposed to richer, louder birdsong responded very positively. They reported greater enjoyment, stronger connection with nature, and higher satisfaction with the tour. They also felt more relaxed, peaceful and free from daily pressure. People often benefit from natural sounds subconsciously, easily taking these benefits for granted. The study clearly proves that birdsong directly improves human well-being, meaning protecting birds can also enrich our nature experience and bring positive emotions. Today, people are more disconnected from nature than older generations. What makes researchers concerned is that this growing separation is often considered normal, known as “shifting baseline syndrome”. It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully the researchers’ findings will encourage more investment in protecting natural soundscapes and creating nature-friendly spaces, helping people reconnect with the natural world. 8. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Fewer birds make nature quieter. B. Nature loss harms human well-being. C. Quiet scenes harm modern society. D. Bird songs affect mental health greatly. 9. What did the researchers do in the vineyards? A. They attracted more bird species. B. They promoted the wine production. C. They collected the sounds of birds. D. They studied the birds’ natural habitat. 10. How did the visitors feel when exposed to richer birdsong soundscapes? A. Settled. B. Anxious. C. Grateful. D. Distracted. 11. According to the author, the findings of the research are ______. A. amusing B. inspiring C. misleading D. demanding D For decades, arthritis (关节炎) patients have been told that once cartilage (软骨) wears away, it cannot grow back. With no drug able to slow or restore the disease, treatment usually focuses on easing pain and maintaining movement through physical therapy. When damage becomes severe, joint replacement surgery is often the only option. The common belief has been that cartilage loss is inescapable. Now scientists are beginning to challenge this belief. Instead of only reducing damage or replacing joints, they are exploring whether cartilage can be helped to repair itself. One approach focuses on rebuilding cartilage from the start. Samuel Stupp, a scientist at Northwestern University, has designed an injectable material that is delivered directly into damaged areas of the joint. Once inside, it forms tiny fibers that create a structure similar to healthy cartilage. This structure guides nearby cells to build new tissue. Tests in sheep showed that after six months, treated joints began forming new cartilage with the same strength and flexibility as native tissue. Researchers from Stanford University are studying how aging affects cartilage repair. Helen Blau discovered that a protein called 15-PGDH increases with age. This protein degrades an essential molecule (分子) that the body needs to fix damaged tissue. In older mice, stopping this protein from working helped bring back lost cartilage. After treatment, the older mice were able to move normally. When this treatment was used on human cartilage samples, they started making new and healthy tissue too. In Mayo, Christopher Evans is working on stopping the inflammation (炎症) that destroys joints. He uses gene therapy to deliver instructions into the knee, allowing joint cells to produce their own anti-inflammatory protein. In an early safety trial, levels of this protein remained high for at least a year, and patients reported less pain and better movement. These innovative strategies, though still under large-scale human testing, have already brought new hope to arthritis treatment. The old belief is being overturned. With ongoing breakthroughs in new research, a future where damaged cartilage repairs itself is firmly in sight. 12. What is the conventional view on cartilage damage? A. It can be recovered with physical therapy. B. It has a rich blood supply to support self-repair. C. It causes unavoidable losses once damaged. D. It requires immediate joint replacement surgery. 13. What can be concluded about Samuel Stupp’s material? A. It kills the cells that damage joint cartilage. B. It can help sheep form new healthy cartilage. C. It has been widely used on human patients. D. It can take the place of the damaged cartilage. 14. Why is 15-PGDH bad for cartilage repair? A. It causes people to grow old faster. B. It stops the reproduction of cartilage. C. It prevents the mice’s joint function. D. It breaks down a necessary molecule. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Arthritis: An Unavoidable Fate for the Elderly. B. Arthritis: New Hope from Self-repairing Cartilage. C. Joint Replacement: The Final Solution to Arthritis. D. Gene Therapy: The Breakthrough in Treating Joint. 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。 Music is a universal language that goes beyond borders, cultures, and generations.

The whole neighborhood was filled with the festive atmosphere, but my family couldn’t even afford a full meal. It was cold outside, and my younger brother stared at the empty table, disappointed. There was a soft knock suddenly. Two people stood at the door, holding a box full of vegetables, fruit and beef, with the volunteer logo on their coats. “A warm-hearted neighbor told us about your situation,” they said. “Hope these will be helpful and wish you a happy New Year!” The moment they turned away, a wave of warmth welled up inside my heart, driving away the winter chill. As I grew up, I would recall that heartwarming scene every now and then. Gradually, the desire to help others, like a tiny seed, took root in my heart. After I got a decent job, I made it an annual tradition to pass on warmth to others. With the help of the local volunteer association, I helped the elderly living alone and struggling families with kids in the community. By setting aside part of my income, I prepared daily supplies for the elderly and books for children. Every year, I delivered the gifts in person, chatted with the elderly and laughed with kids, their eyes shining with joy. Their heartfelt gratitude reminded me that the small acts of kindness could make a difference, bringing me more satisfaction than anything else. Years later, on a business trip before the New Year, I shared my yearly tradition with my business partners over lunch, suggesting spreading warmth to the needy families in a neighboring area. They readily agreed. We bought daily supplies and gifts, sorting and packing them. Just then, I got an unexpected call. “I have to attend a meeting right now,” I said with regret, asking them to rent a van (中小型货车). “We’ll get it ready on time, “my partners promised. As I hurried off, I was excited at the thought of the smiling faces of those in need. However, upon finishing the meeting and hurrying back, I found my partners wearing worried looks — no vans were available for rent as the New Year was approaching. 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。 “What should we do next?” my partners asked anxiously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that afternoon, the head of the Volunteer Association appeared, driving his van. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高考模拟检测 英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷共10页，满分150分，时间120分钟。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4．作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5．考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试卷不回收。 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 didn’t want him to perceive his dad as a total loser. I’m not much of an athlete. I find lung-burning competitive sports deeply unpleasant. But my son suggested we do a triathlon together. I felt I couldn’t say no to my son. So I entered for a triathlon weeks later. When we got to the base camp, other competitors looked strong and well-trained. During the swimming part, the icy water took my breath away and made me gasp. Zane pulled away with strong freestyle strokes (游泳姿势). I used the breaststroke. Eventually, I made it back to land. During the cycling part, I was repeatedly overtaken. The running portion was my least favorite. I was confident I could stay ahead of an elderly woman in her 70s. Yet she passed me in the final mile, leaving me completely last. There I was. Alone. Worse, I was joined by a four-wheeled symbol of shame: the official ambulance behind me in case I collapsed. Finally, I finished 121st out of 121 racers. I felt embarrassed at first and made many excuses. But on the way home, my shame disappeared, replaced by pride. I realized I had achieved something more impressive than competing in a triathlon. I had redefined my last-place finish as a victory. I wasn’t racing against others. I was racing against myself. I showed my son that it’s okay not to win as long as you try your best. Last place can also be glorious, for it shows how much effort you have made, as well as your persistence and courage. I may not be a good athlete, but I’m a champion at changing the way I see failure. 4. Why did the author refuse to finish last at first? A. He desired to outperform others. B. He feared to disappoint his son. C. He hoped to win a special prize. D. He hated to lose face in public. 5. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “gasp” in paragraph 2? A. Panic greatly. B. Cheer silently. C. Shake violently. D. Breathe sharply. 6. What made the author’s embarrassment disappear? A. Beating the old woman in the final mile. B. Getting his son’s comfort during the race. C. Redefining what finishing the race means. D. Receiving audience praise along the way. 7. What message does the story convey? A. Effort itself is victory. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Time waits for no man. D. Pride goes before a fall. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者参加铁人三项比赛的经历，虽然最终成绩是最后一名，但作者通过这次经历重新定义了失败，认为努力本身就是胜利。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I wanted to avoid the shame of a participation award. After all, I was doing the triathlon with my son, Zane. I didn’t want him to perceive his dad as a total loser.(我想避免因获得参与奖而感到羞愧。毕竟，我是和我的儿子赞恩一起参加铁人三项的。我不想让他认为他的父亲是个彻底的失败者。)”可知，作者一开始拒绝最后一名是因为他害怕让儿子失望。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“During the swimming part, the icy water took my breath away and made me gasp. Zane pulled away with strong freestyle strokes. I used the breaststroke. Eventually, I made it back to land.(在游泳部分，冰冷的水让我喘不过气来，使我_____。赞恩用有力的自由泳姿势游开了。我用了蛙泳。最终，我回到了陆地。)”可知，冰冷的水让作者喘不过气来，由此可推测出作者应该是急促呼吸， gasp意为“急促呼吸”。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I realized I had achieved something more impressive than competing in a triathlon. I had redefined my last-place finish as a victory. I wasn’t racing against others. I was racing against myself. I showed my son that it’s okay not to win as long as you try your best. Last place can also be glorious, for it shows how much effort you have made, as well as your persistence and courage. I may not be a good athlete, but I’m a champion at changing the way I see failure.(我意识到我取得了一些比参加铁人三项更令人印象深刻的成就。我把最后一名重新定义为胜利。我不是在和别人比赛。我是在和自己比赛。我告诉我的儿子，只要你尽力，不赢也没关系。最后一名也可以是光荣的，因为它显示了你付出了多少努力，以及你的毅力和勇气。我可能不是一个好运动员，但我是一个改变看待失败方式的冠军。)”可知，作者重新定义完成比赛意味着什么，这让他不再感到尴尬。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Last place can also be glorious, for it shows how much effort you have made, as well as your persistence and courage.(最后一名也可以是光荣的，因为它显示了你付出了多少努力，以及你的毅力和勇气。)”可知，这个故事传达的信息是努力本身就是胜利。 C Imagine walking across endless rolling hills bathed in warm sunshine, filled with the soft songs of birds. This peaceful natural scene is growing rare in modern society. As bird populations drop, our natural soundscapes are becoming quieter. People are losing touch with nature, a situation called the “extinction of experience”, which has been connected to worsening physical and mental health. Birds’ bright colors and cheerful songs make our time outdoors more enjoyable. A full dawn chorus is like a rich orchestra performance. However, without a wide variety of birds, the natural “music” becomes dull and unimpressive. Our research focused on English vineyards (葡萄园), where grapes are grown in order to produce wine and wine tourism is rapidly developing. We studied bird communities on 21 vineyards and recorded the natural sounds to analyze the complexity and loudness. The results showed that vineyards with more bird species had much more lively and varied soundscapes. To find out if such soundscapes affect human well-being, we tested 186 wine-tour visitors across three vineyards. In some areas, we added recorded songs of extra bird species through hidden speakers. Visitors exposed to richer, louder birdsong responded very positively. They reported greater enjoyment, stronger connection with nature, and higher satisfaction with the tour. They also felt more relaxed, peaceful and free from daily pressure. People often benefit from natural sounds subconsciously, easily taking these benefits for granted. The study clearly proves that birdsong directly improves human well-being, meaning protecting birds can also enrich our nature experience and bring positive emotions. Today, people are more disconnected from nature than older generations. What makes researchers concerned is that this growing separation is often considered normal, known as “shifting baseline syndrome”. It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully the researchers’ findings will encourage more investment in protecting natural soundscapes and creating nature-friendly spaces, helping people reconnect with the natural world. 8. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Fewer birds make nature quieter. B. Nature loss harms human well-being. C. Quiet scenes harm modern society. D. Bird songs affect mental health greatly. 9. What did the researchers do in the vineyards? A. They attracted more bird species. B. They promoted the wine production. C. They collected the sounds of birds. D. They studied the birds’ natural habitat. 10. How did the visitors feel when exposed to richer birdsong soundscapes? A. Settled. B. Anxious. C. Grateful. D. Distracted. 11. According to the author, the findings of the research are ______. A. amusing B. inspiring C. misleading D. demanding 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了鸟类数量减少导致自然声景变单调，研究证明鸟鸣声有益人类身心健康。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“People are losing touch with nature, a situation called the “extinction of experience”, which has been connected to worsening physical and mental health.(人们正在失去与自然的联系，这种情况被称为“体验的灭绝”，它与身体和心理健康的恶化有关)”可知，第一段主要讲的是与自然的隔绝会损害人类的身心健康。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“We studied bird communities on 21 vineyards and recorded the natural sounds to analyze the complexity and loudness.(我们研究了21个葡萄园的鸟类群落，并记录了自然声音以分析其复杂性和响度)”可知，研究人员在葡萄园里收集了鸟类的声音。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Visitors exposed to richer, louder birdsong responded very positively. They reported greater enjoyment, stronger connection with nature, and higher satisfaction with the tour. They also felt more relaxed, peaceful and free from daily pressure.(接触到更丰富、更响亮的鸟鸣声的游客反应非常积极。他们表示更享受，与自然的联系更紧密，对旅行的满意度更高。他们还感到更放松、更平静，没有日常的压力)”可知，当游客接触到更丰富的鸟鸣声时，他们感到很放松。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It goes to show how important nature is for humanity on so many levels and hopefully the researchers’ findings will encourage more investment in protecting natural soundscapes and creating nature-friendly spaces, helping people reconnect with the natural world.(这表明自然在许多层面上对人类是多么重要，希望研究人员的发现能够鼓励更多的投资来保护自然声景和创造自然友好空间，帮助人们重新与自然世界建立联系)”可推知，作者认为这项研究的结果是鼓舞人心的。 D For decades, arthritis (关节炎) patients have been told that once cartilage (软骨) wears away, it cannot grow back. With no drug able to slow or restore the disease, treatment usually focuses on easing pain and maintaining movement through physical therapy. When damage becomes severe, joint replacement surgery is often the only option. The common belief has been that cartilage loss is inescapable. Now scientists are beginning to challenge this belief. Instead of only reducing damage or replacing joints, they are exploring whether cartilage can be helped to repair itself. One approach focuses on rebuilding cartilage from the start. Samuel Stupp, a scientist at Northwestern University, has designed an injectable material that is delivered directly into damaged areas of the joint. Once inside, it forms tiny fibers that create a structure similar to healthy cartilage. This structure guides nearby cells to build new tissue. Tests in sheep showed that after six months, treated joints began forming new cartilage with the same strength and flexibility as native tissue. Researchers from Stanford University are studying how aging affects cartilage repair. Helen Blau discovered that a protein called 15-PGDH increases with age. This protein degrades an essential molecule (分子) that the body needs to fix damaged tissue. In older mice, stopping this protein from working helped bring back lost cartilage. After treatment, the older mice were able to move normally. When this treatment was used on human cartilage samples, they started making new and healthy tissue too. In Mayo, Christopher Evans is working on stopping the inflammation (炎症) that destroys joints. He uses gene therapy to deliver instructions into the knee, allowing joint cells to produce their own anti-inflammatory protein. In an early safety trial, levels of this protein remained high for at least a year, and patients reported less pain and better movement. These innovative strategies, though still under large-scale human testing, have already brought new hope to arthritis treatment. The old belief is being overturned. With ongoing breakthroughs in new research, a future where damaged cartilage repairs itself is firmly in sight. 12. What is the conventional view on cartilage damage? A. It can be recovered with physical therapy. B. It has a rich blood supply to support self-repair. C. It causes unavoidable losses once damaged. D. It requires immediate joint replacement surgery. 13. What can be concluded about Samuel Stupp’s material? A. It kills the cells that damage joint cartilage. B. It can help sheep form new healthy cartilage. C. It has been widely used on human patients. D. It can take the place of the damaged cartilage. 14. Why is 15-PGDH bad for cartilage repair? A. It causes people to grow old faster. B. It stops the reproduction of cartilage. C. It prevents the mice’s joint function. D. It breaks down a necessary molecule. 15. What is the best title for the passage? A. Arthritis: An Unavoidable Fate for the Elderly. B. Arthritis: New Hope from Self-repairing Cartilage. C. Joint Replacement: The Final Solution to Arthritis. D. Gene Therapy: The Breakthrough in Treating Joint. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了科学家们开始挑战传统观念，探索软骨自我修复的可能性，并介绍了多种创新策略，为关节炎治疗带来了新的希望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The common belief has been that cartilage loss is inescapable.(人们普遍认为软骨的损失是不可避免的。)”可知，传统观点认为软骨一旦受损，就会造成不可避免的损失。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Tests in sheep showed that after six months, treated joints began forming new cartilage with the same strength and flexibility as native tissue.(在羊身上的测试表明，六个月后，经过治疗的关节开始形成与原生组织具有相同强度和灵活性的新软骨。)”可知，塞缪尔·斯图普的材料可以帮助羊形成新的健康软骨。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Helen Blau discovered that a protein called 15-PGDH increases with age. This protein degrades an essential molecule that the body needs to fix damaged tissue.(海伦·布劳发现一种名为15-PGDH的蛋白质会随着年龄的增长而增加。这种蛋白质会降解身体修复受损组织所需的一种必需分子。)”可知，15-PGDH对软骨修复有害是因为它会分解一个必要的分子。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“These innovative strategies, though still under large-scale human testing, have already brought new hope to arthritis treatment. The old belief is being overturned. With ongoing breakthroughs in new research, a future where damaged cartilage repairs itself is firmly in sight.(这些创新策略虽然仍处于大规模人体测试阶段，但已经为关节炎治疗带来了新的希望。旧观念正在被推翻。随着新研究的不断突破，受损软骨自我修复的未来已经清晰可见。)”可知，文章主要讲述了科学家们开始挑战传统观念，探索软骨自我修复的可能性，并介绍了多种创新策略，为关节炎治疗带来了新的希望，因此选项B“关节炎：自我修复软骨的新希望”作为标题最合适。 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。 Music is a universal language that goes beyond borders, cultures, and generations.

The whole neighborhood was filled with the festive atmosphere, but my family couldn’t even afford a full meal. It was cold outside, and my younger brother stared at the empty table, disappointed. There was a soft knock suddenly. Two people stood at the door, holding a box full of vegetables, fruit and beef, with the volunteer logo on their coats. “A warm-hearted neighbor told us about your situation,” they said. “Hope these will be helpful and wish you a happy New Year!” The moment they turned away, a wave of warmth welled up inside my heart, driving away the winter chill. As I grew up, I would recall that heartwarming scene every now and then. Gradually, the desire to help others, like a tiny seed, took root in my heart. After I got a decent job, I made it an annual tradition to pass on warmth to others. With the help of the local volunteer association, I helped the elderly living alone and struggling families with kids in the community. By setting aside part of my income, I prepared daily supplies for the elderly and books for children. Every year, I delivered the gifts in person, chatted with the elderly and laughed with kids, their eyes shining with joy. Their heartfelt gratitude reminded me that the small acts of kindness could make a difference, bringing me more satisfaction than anything else. Years later, on a business trip before the New Year, I shared my yearly tradition with my business partners over lunch, suggesting spreading warmth to the needy families in a neighboring area. They readily agreed. We bought daily supplies and gifts, sorting and packing them. Just then, I got an unexpected call. “I have to attend a meeting right now,” I said with regret, asking them to rent a van (中小型货车). “We’ll get it ready on time, “my partners promised. As I hurried off, I was excited at the thought of the smiling faces of those in need. However, upon finishing the meeting and hurrying back, I found my partners wearing worried looks — no vans were available for rent as the New Year was approaching. 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。 “What should we do next?” my partners asked anxiously. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that afternoon, the head of the Volunteer Association appeared, driving his van. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “What should we do next?” my partners asked anxiously. My mind went blank for a second, and I scratched my head, saying, “Let’s try some other ways.” We attempted to call the community service center, only to be told there were no spare vans. Hearing the bad news, we sighed helplessly. Just as we were about to give up, it occurred to me that we could turn to the volunteer association. We made a call immediately, and a volunteer replied, “I’ll manage to arrange one as soon as possible.” Though we had to wait, calmness replaced our earlier panic. Later that afternoon, the head of the Volunteer Association appeared, driving his van. We waved to him, feeling surprised but relieved. After loading the van together, we were satisfied to see the neatly packed supplies. “It feels so good to help others,” we sighed. As we were heading for the destination, I thought of the New Year years ago. Back then, a box of food warmed my family; now, a van full of supplies was carrying the same warmth forward. We finally made it in a place where “there were no vans.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候在新年前夕得到好心人帮助，长大后也致力于帮助他人。在一次出差前的新年期间，作者和商业伙伴准备为有需要的家庭送温暖，却因临近新年租不到货车而陷入困境，最终在志愿者协会的帮助下得以继续传递温暖的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者和伙伴们尝试其他办法租车，但都失败了，最后想到向志愿者协会求助，并得到回应。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者和伙伴们装好物资，前往目的地，途中作者回想起多年前自己家得到帮助的情景，感慨温暖在传递。 2.续写线索： 伙伴焦急询问——尝试其他办法租车失败——向志愿者协会求助并得到回应——志愿者协会负责人开车出现——装好物资——前往目的地——途中回忆——感慨温暖传递 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①某人突然间想起某事：it occurred to sb. that/it hit sb. that/it struck sb. that ②回复：reply/respond ③前往：head for/make one’s way to 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprised/astonished ②欣慰：relieved/comforted 【点睛】【高分句型1】Just as we were about to give up, it occurred to me that we could turn to the volunteer association.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句和that引导的主语从句) 【高分句型2】Though we had to wait, calmness replaced our earlier panic.(运用了though引导的让步状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
