Here, he shares his favorite books. King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green I loved reading when I was little. My parents were both English teachers, and our home was full of books. Dickens was a family favorite. But the book that really fired my imagination was King Arthur and His Knights of the Round Table by Roger Lancelyn Green. Buy King Arthur and His Knight of the Round Table here Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith I’m a fool for a classic, and I’m so glad I finally managed to finish Diary of a Nobody by George and Weedon Grossmith. Put simply, its the funniest book I’ve ever read, with text by George and illustrations by Weedon. Buy Diary of a Nobody here Exhalation by Ted Chiang It’s never too late to have your life changed by a book， and it happened to me again recently when I read Ted Chiang’s collection Exhalation. Story of Your Life, one of the best in it, inspired the sci-fi alien visitation classic Arrival. I love that too, but each and every piece in Exhalation is its match in imagination. Buy Exhalation here Ben Miller’s new book The Night We Got Stuck in a Story is available now. * This post contains some links, so we may earn a small amount of money when you make a purchase through links on our site at no additional cost to you. 1. Who wrote the book Ben Miller considers the most amusing? A. Dickens. B. Roger Lancelyn Green. C. Ted Chiang. D. George and Weedon Grossmith. 2. Which category does the book Exhalation most likely fall in? A. Fairy tale. B. Poetry. C. Science fiction. D. Comics. 3. What’s the main purpose of the text? A. To advertise some books. B. To attract new subscriptions. C. To recommend a famous actor. D. To share Miller’s reading habits. B At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly; pushed to name her profession, you might guess at nurse or teacher. But look closer. Easthope is an emergency planner whose job is to support the survivors of major disasters, in which capacity she acted following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and the fire at Grenfell Tower. For two decades, the public knew nothing about this vital work, which went on behind the scenes, though she was hugely admired in what we might call professional disaster circles: a voice of calm and a fountain of wisdom. But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did. “At literary festivals, most authors get questions about their writing process,” Easthope says. “But I wouldn’t get those. What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book, one in which she would try to distill(浓缩) all that she has learned for the benefit of each individual. While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience, the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Severe and forbidding. C. Competent and cautious. D. Cheerful and approachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles. C. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. B. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. C. To explain Easthope’s writing process. D. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Positive thinking takes the lead. B. Minor sufferings deserve attention. C. Resilience matters most. D. Forgetting aids recovery. C While most of us are never without our smartphones robots may also soon become essential companions. It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety.On being subjected to a moderate heat stimulus(刺激), the study participants who wore the robot experienced less pain than in the tests in which they did not wear the robot. During the campaign to encourage vaccination against COVID-19, public health officials recognized that some people are simply afraid of needles,which contributed to reduced vaccination rates. While the problems of patient anxiety and pain during medical procedures have been well studied there remains a need to test and implement solutions to help patients. The soft fur-covered robot the scientists called Reliebo was designed to be attached to the participant’s hand. The researchers tested its effectiveness under various conditions based on the clenching of the participant’s hand, while applying the painful thermal stimulus to the other arm that was not being used to hold the robot.The researchers found that holding the robot helped relieve the experience for patients regardless of the experimental conditions used, and concluded that the feelings of well -being that can be created by human touch may have also been activated by the robot. “It is well known that interpersonal touch can reduce pain and fear, and we believe that this effect can be achieved even with nonliving soft robots,”states Professor Tanaka. This may be useful when actual human contact is not feasible, such as during pandemics. Future versions of the robot might use a controlled gaze or even AR (augmented reality) technologies to help build a connection with the patient or distract them from pain perception in various situations. 8. What is the purpose of the robot? A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately. B. To help relieve people’s pain from injections. C. To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health. D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19. 9. How does the robot ease the pain and anxiety of the patients? A. The robot is designed to be attached to the patients’ hand. B. The robot’s soft fur gives the patients a feelings of well- being. C. The robot’s“interpersonal touch ” creates a feelings of well -being. D. The robot instructs the researchers to relieve the experience for patients. 10. What will researchers probably do next? A. Develop other devices for medical treatment. B. Carry out more and more tests on the robot. C. Evaluate the possible risk of using the robot. D. Promote the application of the robot worldwide 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Reduce People’s Fear of Injections. B. Advanced Technology Helps to Cure Patients C. Being Afraid of Needles Reduced Vaccination Rates D. Wearable Soft Robot Helps People Scare of injections. D Scientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other powerful ocean storms. They are calling it a “stormquake”. Researchers came up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor during such storms. They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake. Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the ocean. These waves then “interact” in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause “intense seismic source activity,” said the leader researcher Fan, a seismologist and professor at Florida State University. “We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within the hard outer layer of the Earth,” he added. “The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.” The researchers found evidence of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the United States and Canada. Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths, the research showed. Even with evidence of so many stromquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”. The research found that major U.S. hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes. One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean, which caused about 300 stormquakes as it moved north, past New Jersey. Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Irene in 2011. But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of Mexico. Also, no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S. East Coast, starting in New Jersey, and continuing all the way down to Georgia. The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake. Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions. Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”. He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky. “Now we are able to understand the phenomenon — or at least track part of its passage — through the solid earth as well,” he said. 12. What is the distinctive feature of a stormquake? A. Being seasonal. B. Being destructive. C. Being long-lasting. D. Being interactive. 13. Why were stormquakes unknown to science previously? A. Because they were extremely rare on the Earth. B. Because they were once neglected by scientists. C. Because they generally happen in deep sea floors. D. Because they are quite similar to common earthquakes. 14. What message is conveyed in Paragraph 4? A. All hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes. B. Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast. C. Stronger hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes. D. The sea floor’s condition changes in stormquakes. 15. What is the significance of the discovery? A. Offering an alternative angle to research hurricanes. B. Helping to predict an earthquake more accurately. C. Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field. D. Preventing potential hurricanes and lessening losses. 第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5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。 How to Develop Empathy (同理心) in Your Daily Life Have you ever struggled to understand how someone else feels?

It has direct connection with agencies such as hospitals, the police station. Many teachers there have given their personal phone numbers to students and families in case they need extra help as well. There's no doubt that the primary school is famous for its quickness in emergency response. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Smith began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom at the school. One September afternoon a few weeks into the school, she received a call from Mary White, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter's tools for online learning. Julia immediately knew something was wrong with Mary. The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Julia had never heard the grandmother sound quite like this. Her words were in such disorder that Julia could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Mary had fallen four times that day. "Was she going to have a stroke（中风）?" Julia wondered. Julia called her principal, Charlie Green, telling him her concern. From Julia, Green knew that Mary's two grandchildren, aged four and six, were probably home alone with her---the kids' parents were killed in a traffic accident several years ago and now she was their primary guardian. Green assured her that he would call and check on Mary himself. Yet Julia still felt worried, so she grabbed the handbag, rushing out. Just like Julia, Green could barely understand Mary, but he was able to make out the word "Kids". It called up his memories of his own father, who had suffered a stroke. Green still vividly remembered the symptoms---sudden headaches, confusion, different vision, difficulty speaking and unexpected falls---that his father had experienced. "Mary must be having a stroke," Green thought to himself. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He realized it was an emergency. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Green and the other two teachers reached the family's home less than ten minutes later, seeing what was happening, they sighed in relief. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 常州市第一中学2025—2026学年第二学期期中质量调研 高二英语试卷 （时间：120分钟 满分150分） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分，每小题1.5分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中给出的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

While her publisher describes Come What May as a roadmap for resilience, the word is one Easthope dislikes. Ready, she suggests, is a better one. Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. She encourages people to remember, not to forget, what happened during disasters, because such events leave a long-lasting effect. 4. What might a Cassandra be like according to paragraph 1? A. Friendly and energetic. B. Severe and forbidding. C. Competent and cautious. D. Cheerful and approachable. 5. What led to increased public awareness of Easthope’s work in 2023? A. The publication of a best seller. B. The growth of professional disaster circles. C. Her involvement in 2004 tsunami relief. D. Her sudden rise to fame through media. 6. Why are readers’ questions cited in paragraph 3? A. To present public doubts about Easthope’s work. B. To reveal Easthope’s personal fears. C. To explain Easthope’s writing process. D. To show Easthope’s writing motivation. 7. What does Easthope agree on handling disasters? A. Positive thinking takes the lead. B. Minor sufferings deserve attention. C. Resilience matters most. D. Forgetting aids recovery. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了应急规划师Easthope及其工作，包括她给人的第一印象、工作内容、因出版书籍而使工作被大众关注，以及她对处理灾难的一些观点。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“At first sight, Easthope doesn’t seem much like a Cassandra. She smiles a lot. Her manner is kind and motherly(初见之下，伊斯特霍普一点儿也不像卡珊德拉。她总是笑容满面，举止和蔼，一副慈母般的模样。)”可知，原文说伊斯特霍普爱笑、和蔼、慈母般亲切，她完全不像Cassandra。由此可推知，Cassandra 应该是不苟言笑、严厉冷漠、令人难以亲近。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But in 2023, she published a best-selling book about her career, When the Dust Settles, and that changed. People became very interested in what she did.(但在 2023 年，她出版了一本讲述自己职业生涯的畅销书《尘埃落定》，一切就此改变。人们开始对她的经历产生了浓厚兴趣。)”可知，2023年她出版畅销书，这件事改变了现状，让公众开始关注她的工作。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“What people wanted from me was to know how I lived with the knowledge that I have. Wasn’t I afraid? How did I handle? I would tell them that I didn’t live afraid, and I would give them basic advice. But this wasn’t enough.” In the end, she felt she had no choice but to write a second book…(人们想从我这里了解的是，我如何带着自己所知晓的那些真相生活。我难道不害怕吗？我是如何应对的？我会告诉他们，我并没有活在恐惧中，也会给他们一些浅显的建议。但这远远不够。最终，她觉得自己别无选择，只能再写一本书……)”可知，人们不停追问她如何面对灾难、如何克服恐惧，她简单的回答无法满足大众，这促使她决定写第二本书。引用读者问题是为了说明她写第二本书的创作动机。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Easthope also reminds people that small things, like losing hair during illness or consuming too much food after someone dies, still matter. (伊斯特霍普还提醒人们，生活里的小事，比如生病期间脱发、或是亲人离世后暴饮暴食，依然值得被重视。)”可知，她认为生病脱发、亲人离世后暴饮暴食这类微小的痛苦小事，依然很重要、值得被关注。 C While most of us are never without our smartphones robots may also soon become essential companions. It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety.On being subjected to a moderate heat stimulus(刺激), the study participants who wore the robot experienced less pain than in the tests in which they did not wear the robot. During the campaign to encourage vaccination against COVID-19, public health officials recognized that some people are simply afraid of needles,which contributed to reduced vaccination rates. While the problems of patient anxiety and pain during medical procedures have been well studied there remains a need to test and implement solutions to help patients. The soft fur-covered robot the scientists called Reliebo was designed to be attached to the participant’s hand. The researchers tested its effectiveness under various conditions based on the clenching of the participant’s hand, while applying the painful thermal stimulus to the other arm that was not being used to hold the robot.The researchers found that holding the robot helped relieve the experience for patients regardless of the experimental conditions used, and concluded that the feelings of well -being that can be created by human touch may have also been activated by the robot. “It is well known that interpersonal touch can reduce pain and fear, and we believe that this effect can be achieved even with nonliving soft robots,”states Professor Tanaka. This may be useful when actual human contact is not feasible, such as during pandemics. Future versions of the robot might use a controlled gaze or even AR (augmented reality) technologies to help build a connection with the patient or distract them from pain perception in various situations. 8. What is the purpose of the robot? A. To assist doctors in injecting accurately. B. To help relieve people’s pain from injections. C. To evaluate patients’ physical and mental health. D. To assess the effects of getting vaccinated against COVID-19. 9. How does the robot ease the pain and anxiety of the patients? A. The robot is designed to be attached to the patients’ hand. B. The robot’s soft fur gives the patients a feelings of well- being. C. The robot’s“interpersonal touch ” creates a feelings of well -being. D. The robot instructs the researchers to relieve the experience for patients. 10. What will researchers probably do next? A. Develop other devices for medical treatment. B. Carry out more and more tests on the robot. C. Evaluate the possible risk of using the robot. D. Promote the application of the robot worldwide 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. How to Reduce People’s Fear of Injections. B. Advanced Technology Helps to Cure Patients C. Being Afraid of Needles Reduced Vaccination Rates D. Wearable Soft Robot Helps People Scare of injections. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了日本研究人员最近进行的实验，他们开发了一种可穿戴的软体机器人从而保护人们免受焦虑。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety.(从日本研究人员最近进行的实验来看，似乎确实如此。他们开发了一种可穿戴的软体机器人，供患者在治疗期间使用，如注射和其他令人不快的治疗，试图减轻他们的疼痛，保护人们免受焦虑。)”可知，这款机器人可以减轻患者的疼痛。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The researchers found that holding the robot helped relieve the experience for patients regardless of the experimental conditions used, and concluded that the feelings of well -being that can be created by human touch may have also been activated by the robot. “It is well known that interpersonal touch can reduce pain and fear, and we believe that this effect can be achieved even with nonliving soft robots,” states Professor Tanaka.(研究人员发现，无论实验条件如何，抱着机器人都有助于缓解患者的体验，并得出结论，人类触摸所产生的幸福感可能也被机器人激活了。田中教授说：“众所周知，人与人之间的接触可以减少疼痛和恐惧，我们相信即使是在无生命的软体机器人身上也能达到这种效果。”)”可知，这款机器人让人们在触摸它的时候产生了幸福感，从而缓解了疼痛和焦虑。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Future versions of the robot might use a controlled gaze or even AR (augmented reality) technologies to help build a connection with the patient or distract them from pain perception in various situations.(未来版本的机器人可能会使用控制凝视甚至AR(增强现实)技术来帮助与患者建立联系，或在各种情况下分散他们对疼痛的感知。)”可推断，研究人员未来会开发一些其他的医疗功能。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“It certainly seems so based on the recent experiments conducted by researchers in Japan, who developed a wearable soft robot for patients to use during treatments, such as injections(注射) and other unpleasant therapies in an attempt to ease their pain and defend people against anxiety. On being subjected to a moderate heat stimulus(刺激), the study participants who wore the robot experienced less pain than in the tests in which they did not wear the robot. (从日本研究人员最近进行的实验来看，似乎确实如此。他们开发了一种可穿戴的软体机器人，供患者在治疗期间使用，如注射和其他令人不快的治疗，试图减轻他们的疼痛，保护人们免受焦虑。在接受适度的热刺激时，佩戴机器人的研究参与者比不佩戴机器人的测试参与者感受到的疼痛要少。)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了一种可穿戴的软体机器人，它们可以帮助那些害怕注射的人们，以缓解他们的焦虑。所以“Wearable Soft Robot Helps People Scare of injections.(可穿戴软机器人帮助人们避免打针。)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。 D Scientists say they have discovered an earthquake-like event that can happen during a hurricane or other powerful ocean storms. They are calling it a “stormquake”. Researchers came up with this name after studying events connected with or caused by earthquakes on the sea floor during such storms. They found that the shaking can feel as strong as a magnitude 3.5 earthquake. Intense energy from hurricanes and other severe storms can create very large waves in the ocean. These waves then “interact” in some places with solid earth under the sea to cause “intense seismic source activity,” said the leader researcher Fan, a seismologist and professor at Florida State University. “We can have seismic sources in the ocean just like earthquakes within the hard outer layer of the Earth,” he added. “The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.” The researchers found evidence of more than 10,000 stormquakes in coastal areas of the United States and Canada. Stormquakes were found to have happened around continental shelves or sea floors containing flat land and at lower depths, the research showed. Even with evidence of so many stromquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as “background noise”. The research found that major U.S. hurricanes had produced a lot of stormquakes. One example was Hurricane Bill in 2009 in the Atlantic Ocean, which caused about 300 stormquakes as it moved north, past New Jersey. Other examples of stormquakes were Hurricane Ike in 2008 and Hurricane Irene in 2011. But the study found no evidence of stormquakes off the coast of Mexico. Also, no such activity was recorded in areas along the U.S. East Coast, starting in New Jersey, and continuing all the way down to Georgia. The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake. Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions. Fan added that there are still “lots of unknowns” about stormquakes. But he said discovering them “suggests we are reaching a new level of understanding of seismic waves”. He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky. “Now we are able to understand the phenomenon — or at least track part of its passage — through the solid earth as well,” he said. 12. What is the distinctive feature of a stormquake? A. Being seasonal. B. Being destructive. C. Being long-lasting. D. Being interactive. 13. Why were stormquakes unknown to science previously? A. Because they were extremely rare on the Earth. B. Because they were once neglected by scientists. C. Because they generally happen in deep sea floors. D. Because they are quite similar to common earthquakes. 14. What message is conveyed in Paragraph 4? A. All hurricanes don’t bring about stormquakes. B. Stormquakes happen more along the East Coast. C. Stronger hurricanes tend to produce stormquakes. D. The sea floor’s condition changes in stormquakes. 15. What is the significance of the discovery? A. Offering an alternative angle to research hurricanes. B. Helping to predict an earthquake more accurately. C. Suggesting the richness of the seismic wave field. D. Preventing potential hurricanes and lessening losses. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种类似地震的自然现象——“风暴地震”，介绍了其形成过程、特点和影响其形成的条件，这一发现有助于改进飓风研究方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The exciting part is seismic sources caused by hurricanes can last for hours or even days.(令人兴奋的部分是，飓风造成的震源会持续数小时甚至数天)”可知，风暴地震的显著特征是持续时间长。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even with evidence of so many stromquakes happening, it was not known until recently that such events even existed. This is mainly because scientists studying earthquakes have generally considered ocean-caused seismic waves as ‘background noise’.( 即使有证据表明发生了如此多的大地震，但直到最近人们才知道这些地震的存在。这主要是因为研究地震的科学家通常认为海洋地震波是‘背景噪音’)”可知，以前的科学对风暴地震一无所知，是因为他们曾经被科学家忽视过。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“The team noted that even Hurricane Sandy, one of the most costly storms in U.S. history, did not cause a single stormquake.Fan says this suggests that stormquakes are strongly influenced by the physical shape of the seafloor’s surface and seafloor conditions.( 研究小组指出，即使是飓风桑迪，美国历史上最严重的风暴之一，也没有造成风暴地震。Fan说，这说明风暴地震的形成受海底表面物理形状和海底条件的影响很大)”可推知，并不是所有的飓风都带来风暴地震。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“He hopes the discovery will lead to improved study methods for hurricanes, which in the past have mainly been observed from satellites in the sky.(他希望这一发现将有助于改进研究飓风的方法，过去主要是通过空中卫星观测飓风)”可知，这个发现的意义是为研究飓风提供了另一个角度。故选A。 第二节（共5小题，每小题1.5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。 How to Develop Empathy (同理心) in Your Daily Life Have you ever struggled to understand how someone else feels?

It has direct connection with agencies such as hospitals, the police station. Many teachers there have given their personal phone numbers to students and families in case they need extra help as well. There's no doubt that the primary school is famous for its quickness in emergency response. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Julia Smith began what was only her second year as a first grade teacher in a virtual classroom at the school. One September afternoon a few weeks into the school, she received a call from Mary White, who was having technical difficulties with her granddaughter's tools for online learning. Julia immediately knew something was wrong with Mary. The two women had spoken numerous times before, but Julia had never heard the grandmother sound quite like this. Her words were in such disorder that Julia could barely understand her, though she was able to make out that Mary had fallen four times that day. "Was she going to have a stroke（中风）?" Julia wondered. Julia called her principal, Charlie Green, telling him her concern. From Julia, Green knew that Mary's two grandchildren, aged four and six, were probably home alone with her---the kids' parents were killed in a traffic accident several years ago and now she was their primary guardian. Green assured her that he would call and check on Mary himself. Yet Julia still felt worried, so she grabbed the handbag, rushing out. Just like Julia, Green could barely understand Mary, but he was able to make out the word "Kids". It called up his memories of his own father, who had suffered a stroke. Green still vividly remembered the symptoms---sudden headaches, confusion, different vision, difficulty speaking and unexpected falls---that his father had experienced. "Mary must be having a stroke," Green thought to himself. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 He realized it was an emergency. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Green and the other two teachers reached the family's home less than ten minutes later, seeing what was happening, they sighed in relief. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】He realized it was an emergency. And he need take action right now or something worse would happen. So, he picked up his phone and called 911. After hanging up, he found his car key and went out, because he thought it would be better if he could be there to check it out himself. On the way he made two more calls and asked two other teachers to go with him. When Green and the other two teachers reached the family's home less than ten minutes later, seeing what was happening, they sighed in relief. Julia was already there and was taking care of Mary White herself. Lying on a chair, there was great pain on Mrs. White’s face. However, she looked calm with Julia’s company. Julia told Green she was worried and decided to come herself. Since the called had already been made, the only thing they could do was to wait for the doctors beside Mary White. 【解析】 【分析】本文是记叙文，讲述了Julia老师发现学生家长Mary可能中风并及时通知了校长，校长亲自到学生家里查看情况，却发现Julia老师已经先行到达进行护理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他意识到这是紧急情况。”可知，第一段可描写校长在知道情况后的处理措施。 ②由第二段首句内容“不到十分钟后，格林和另外两位老师赶到了他们家，看到发生了什么事，他们松了一口气。”可知，第二段可描写Green校长到达学生家后看到什么情况让他们松了一口气。 2.续写线索：打电话——拿钥匙开车——邀同事陪同——到学生家——发现有人先到——一起等待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.意识到：realize /find/know ②.采取行动：take action /act ③.打电话：call/dial/phone 情绪类 ①.平静：calm /peaceful ②.担忧：worried /concerned 【点睛】 [高分句型1].
