B Strong social ties are often linked to better health, and new research adds a brain benefit to that list. A study led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and University of Massachusetts Boston reports that regularly helping people can clearly slow the drop in cognitive (认知的) ability in middle-aged and older adults. The research followed more than 30,000 US adults for 20 years. It found that those who often helped others — either through organized help or everyday acts — experienced a 15%-20% slower rate of age-related decline in cognitive ability. The most significant benefits were tied to spending about two to four hours per week helping others. “Everyday acts of support can have a lasting effect on the mind,” Sae Hwang Han, an assistant professor of human development and family sciences at UT who led the study, noted, “The benefits weren’t just short-term but built up over time, and were seen for both organized and everyday help.” The study is among the first to compare organized help with everyday help, which includes tasks like giving rides, looking after children, or helping with housework. “It was a pleasant surprise to find that everyday help offers benefits for the mind that are as good as organized help,” said Han, challenging the idea that it offers fewer benefits due to lack of public recognition. The researchers looked at national data, taking into account factors like wealth, health, and education. Even after adjusting for these, the decline in cognitive ability tended to slow when people began and kept up helping behaviors. The benefits appeared to grow when helping became a steady, yearly habit. Overall, helping others may support brain health by mitigating mental stress and strengthening social bonds that provide emotional support. As populations age, the findings highlight the importance of creating chances for people to give help, which may be especially useful for those already facing a drop in cognitive ability. 24．What do the findings suggest for the seniors? A．They need more professional medical care. B．Helping others may benefit their brain health. C．They should turn to others for more daily help. D．Strong social ties improve their quality of life. 25．What is Han’s attitude towards everyday help? A．Favorable. B．Doubtful. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical. 26．Why did the researchers consider other factors? A．To increase the sample size. B．To make the study more reliable. C．To stress the importance of social ties. D．To record different levels of education. 27．What does the underlined word “mitigating” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Causing. B．Standing. C．Reducing. D．Experiencing. C In the late 1980s, Stephanie Garber was driving through downtown Silver Spring, MD, when a large pickup truck hit her car. She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed. Garber stood on the sidewalk, waiting for rescue to arrive. As she watched her car blocking traffic in the middle of the morning rush hour, Garber couldn’t help crying. “I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said. “So, I really was not myself.” All of a sudden, a professionally dressed woman approached her. The woman appeared to be on her way to work and she was holding a cup of hot tea from the nearby coffee shop. Garber recalled, “She handed it to me and said, ‘Maybe this will help.’ And when I looked at her, I just felt such kindness coming my way at a time when I needed it.” They smiled at each other and Garber thought she told the woman thank you, though she’s not sure. Then the woman went on her way. Garber recalled drinking the entire cup of tea. “Actually, I’ve never liked tea at all,” she said. “But I drank every drop and I felt her sympathy coming through with each swallow.” The next morning, during rush hour, Garber drove a rental car back to the same spot downtown, hoping to find the woman and thank her again. But the woman wasn’t there. Garber held on to the small tag (标签) from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity. “I still remember it. I tell all my friends I never forget the kindness,” Garber said. “And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot.” 28．What was the result of the accident for Garber? A．She caused traffic jams on purpose. B．She paid for the other driver’s loss. C．She escaped unhurt but lost her car. D．She was fined by the police officer. 29．Why did Garber cry after the accident? A．She felt upset and ashamed. B．Passers-by treated her rudely. C．The rescue didn’t arrive in time. D．She got badly frightened. 30．Why did Garber keep the tea bag tag for 15 years? A．To remind herself to drink more tea. B．To treasure an unexpected kindness. C．To prove the power of small kindnesses. D．To look for the woman and return it to her. 31．What message does the text mainly want to convey? A．Accidents always bring pain. B．Drinking tea can ease anxiety. C．Tiny acts of care go a long way. D．People in trouble desire material help. D In 1947, a group of famous people from the art world decided to hold an international festival of music, dance and theatre in Edinburgh. The idea was to seek a stage for artists. It quickly attracted famous names such as Alec Guinness, Richard Burton, Dame Margot Fonteyn and Marlene Dietrich as well as the big symphony orchestras (交响乐团). It became a fixed event every August and now attracts about 400,000 people yearly. At the same time, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe (the Fringe) appeared as a challenge to the official festival. Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years. Soon, groups of students firstly from the University of Edinburgh, and later from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, Durham and Birmingham were making the journey to the Scottish capital each summer to perform plays by little known writers in small halls. Today the Fringe, once less embraced, has far outgrown the festival with around 1500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. And yet as early as 1959, with only 19 theatre groups performing, some said it was getting too big. A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are 8 administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004, there were 200 places housing 1695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold. 32．What was the original idea behind the Edinburgh Art Festival? A．To provide a platform for artists to perform. B．To have a yearly gathering of famous artists. C．To challenge the established festivals. D．To focus on big symphony orchestras. 33．How did the Edinburgh Festival Fringe start? A．As the local government’s cultural policy. B．With permission from the official festival. C．As an invitation for students from Universities. D．With 8 theatre groups performing uninvited. 34．What does the underlined word “embraced” mean in paragraph 5? A．investigated. B．allowed. C．accepted. D．controlled. 35．Why are the numbers mentioned in paragraph 6? A．To show administrators are busy in August. B．To show the festival has grown rapidly. C．To prove the tickets for the festival sell well. D．To prove different groups have come to the festival. Teaching your children about world cultures helps them appreciate the differences in people and their traditions. 36 Instead, use your imagination to explore the world without even needing a suitcase. Create a Passport. Help them make a small book to serve as their “passport”. 37 That way, you can draw or glue a picture of the country’s flag to stamp the pages of their “passports” as they “travel” to learn about world cultures. Learn Cultural Customs. What you might do in your home country isn’t necessarily acceptable in other countries. Learning about each culture’s customs can be important for you both 38 Your left hand is considered unclean in India, so pass all food or objects to other people with your right one. 39 Learning a foreign language is fun for children. When they’re exploring world cultures, study each country’s official language. Celebrate Holidays. Keep a calendar of upcoming holidays celebrated in other countries. 40 For example, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom observe Boxing Day. The holiday’s tradition includes giving money and donations to organizations and people in need. To celebrate, the two of you can box some canned goods for the local food bank. You can also drop a few bills or donate things to a nonprofit. A．Teach the Language. B．You celebrate it with fireworks. C．The pages should be blank on the inside. D．Pointing at things with feet in Thailand is not polite. E．Achieving this doesn’t require just opening a textbook. F．Celebrate national holidays just as people in that country do G．Take them to a heritage and cultural center when you are free. 三、完形填空 When I created my social media account, I was unaware that I would be so engaged in it.

I passed children playing in the red dirt, worrying about their future. Would they end up like so many other children in this community who, without hope, gave up learning and drank alcohol? I gave a silent prayer for something better for their lives and mine. By the quiet lake with my guitar, I found my only comfort. Playing music helped me turn my sad memories into songs. I recalled my past days living in my homeland. Before I was forced to flee (逃离), I performed music professionally, wrote songs, and made appearances on Vand radio. I also worked in visual arts, painting, and creating crafts. I wasn’t a big famous artist, but I was on the way to becoming one. Now I found it difficult to adapt to this new life. I needed to find a way to pass the days doing something productive. Then, an idea struck me. I had no money for art supplies, so I began collecting empty plastic bottles from around the lake. I used them to build a small boat that could float. This piece of art, made from trash, was my gift to the lake that helped me. I received much praise and compliments. For the first time in months, I felt hopeful, confident, and productive again. Then, I remembered the faces of children playing in the dirt, who, I wanted to give the same feeling I had. That spark of hope led to the birth of “Art for Positive Change”. I taught young people in the community how to make art and useful things from old plastic bottles. They learned to channel their frustrations into creativity, their hands busy shaping art while cleaning their environment. Witnessing their transformation filled me with profound purpose. I expanded the program, establishing art and music classes for them. I believed art could help them grow, feel proud, and express themselves. It felt like a new beginning. Our songs, like “Our Youth Our Future”, even reached a big peace concert in the city. It was an incredible honor. However, as our program grew, so did the challenges. 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。 Some elders in the community began to question me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Now, children from many countries come to our classes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第10页，共10页 试卷第9页，共10页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 英语测试参考答案 题号 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 答案 B B A C C C B A A A 题号 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 答案 B A B C B A A A C A 题号 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 答案 B C C B A B C C A B 题号 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 答案 C A D C B E C D A F 题号 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 答案 B A D A C A D D C B 题号 51 52 53 54 55 答案 A B C C D 1．B 【原文】M: I’ll vote for Lisa as president of the Students’ Union. She is responsible and hard-working. W: Yeah, she’s competent, but I’ll vote for Jim. He used to be the president of the Students’ Union in his high school for three years. 2．B 【原文】W: I’m sorry, but we don’t have any pens. What about a ballpoint pen for your first day of school today? M: Ballpoint pens aren’t my cup of tea. Do you have any pencils? W: Yes. 3．A 【原文】W: Do you know Harry Houdini, an admirable magician? Oliver Fuller, a film-maker, is making a movie about him.

I just got a call from my brother — he’s coming home from abroad next week! M: That’s great! 6．C 7．B 8．A 【原文】W: I found an interesting post online. The topic is “things that are normal to natives but strange for foreigners”. M: Oh, I’ve seen that. What impressed me most was that people in Brazil stick a lot of broken glass on the walls around the house to prevent thieves from jumping in. I’ve never seen that in America. W: Well, it’s not strange for me. I grew up in China. I’ve seen that kind of scene before. Let’s go back to this post. It’s said that in Norway, people let their babies sleep outside, even if it’s cold. M: That’s because they believe the outdoor environment, especially the fresh air, is good for babies’ health and development. By the way, the babies are usually dressed warmly. W: Well, I still can’t understand it. And look at this one: In Mexico, people treat death with love and fun. There is even a festival called Day of the Dead. M: Yeah. And there is a movie about that named Coco. W: Really? What does the movie say? 9．A 10．A 11．B 【原文】W: Kim, have you ever tried making fruit tea or milk tea at home?

M: For fruit tea, I prepare some green tea, let it cool, and then mix it with some honey and fresh fruit slices, like oranges and berries. For milk tea, I heat black tea or oolong tea with some sugar, add some milk and boil them for one or two minutes. Simple and satisfying. W: Nice! How long can you keep these homemade drinks? For a day? M: Generally, I try to drink them within two days to enjoy their freshness. W: Good to know. Thanks a lot, Kim. I’ll give your recipes a shot tonight. M: Great! It’s fun to experiment with different combinations. Let me know if you find some exciting recipes! W: Okay. 12．A 13．B 14．C 【原文】W: Yesterday, I was in a school play, but my mom missed it. When she picked me up after school, she apologized, explaining she was caught up in an urgent meeting at work. M: That must have been disappointing for you. But you should understand Aunt Janice. She’s the manager of her company. W: I know. It’s just that she’s so stressed and exhausted all the time. I quite worry about her. M: You should express your concerns to her. W: I actually did that at breakfast today. She was very happy that I was so considerate. She promised me a special outing next Saturday to our favorite local park. We will have a picnic there. And we’ll pay a visit to the new science museum downtown the next day. M: Sounds fantastic! I feel truly glad for you. 15．B 16．A 17．A 【原文】W: Nick, how is it going? M: Great. Thanks!

We should definitely meet up again and continue our discussion. W: Sure, you still have my contact details, right? M: You know what, this is really embarrassing, but your name has just slipped my mind. Can you remind me? W: Sure, my name is Anna Faris. Don’t worry about it. It happens to me all the time. I’m terrible with names too. 18．A 19．C 20．A 【原文】Ladies and gentlemen, thanks again for coming to the 16th Annual Vinewood County Community Awards. I am honored to be standing here before you as captain of the Vinewood Police Department. I am even more privileged to be presenting our final award of the night. But before that, I am proud to say this year we raised $30,000. That’s $5,000 more than last year! Now I want to talk about Rob Cook. This man is a true hero. He has already received the White Flower Award, which symbolizes charity. Back then he helped pay for the construction of a school. Then we gave him the Gold Star for bravery, when he saved a child from a terrible fire. Today we honor him again with the Pink Rose. Although Rob is retiring this year and we are all sad to see him go, there is one advantage of his leaving. There will be more awards left for the rest of us? And now, please welcome... Rob Cook! 21．B 22．C 23．C 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个活动丰富而有意义的夏令营。 21．细节理解题。由文章第三段最后一句“Campers will learn to produce a live show, and finish a student - led performance for the community at the JCCMW.（营员们将学习制作现场表演，并在JCCMW为社区带来一场由学生主导的表演。）”可知，学生们可以在Summer Performing Arts进行现场表演。故选B项。 22．推理判断题。根据文章第四段最后一句“Students at the Summer Performing Arts Camp will get personalized dance training from professionals, ending with a summer showcase.（暑期表演艺术营的学生们将接受来自专业人士的个性化舞蹈培训，并在暑期结束时进行展示。）”可知，学生们可以接受个性化舞蹈培训，由此可推断Summer Dance Intensive的活动可以满足孩子的个性化需求。故选C项。 23．推理判断题。根据文章第一段内容“Make this summer truly memorable! We will offer your kids enriching and values-driven camp experiences!（让这个夏天变得真正难忘吧！我们将为您的孩子提供丰富而有意义的、以价值观为导向的夏令营体验！）”，再结合四个夏令营介绍中都包含了时间和价钱等可推断，文章出自于广告，故选C项。 24．B 25．A 26．B 27．C 【导语】本文主要介绍的是一项研究发现：中老年人定期帮助他人，能显著减缓认知能力衰退，且日常帮助与有组织的帮助效果相当。 【详解】24． 细节理解题。根据第一段“A study led by researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and University of Massachusetts Boston reports that regularly helping people can clearly slow the drop in cognitive (认知的) ability in middle-aged and older adults. (得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和马萨诸塞大学波士顿分校的研究人员开展的一项研究表明，定期帮助他人可以显著减缓中老年人的认知能力下降。)”可知，研究结果表明帮助别人有助于老年人的大脑健康。 25．推理判断题。根据第四段“‘It was a pleasant surprise to find that everyday help offers benefits for the mind that are as good as organized help,’ said Han, challenging the idea that it offers fewer benefits due to lack of public recognition. (韩说：‘发现日常帮助对大脑的益处与有组织的帮助相当，这是一个令人惊喜的发现。’这一观点对‘日常帮助因缺乏公众认可而益处更少’的看法提出了质疑。)”可推知，Han对于日常帮助持积极态度。 26． 推理判断题。根据第五段“The researchers looked at national data, taking into account factors like wealth, health, and education. Even after adjusting for these, the decline in cognitive ability tended to slow when people began and kept up helping behaviors. (研究人员查阅了全国性数据，考虑了财富、健康和教育等因素。即使在对这些因素进行调整之后，当人们开始并持续保持助人行为时，认知能力的衰退速度也往往会放缓。)”可推知，研究人员考虑其他因素，这是控制变量、排除干扰因素的研究方法，目的是让研究结论更严谨、可靠。 27．词句猜测题。根据最后一段“Overal, helping others may support brain health by mitigating mental stress and strengthening social bonds that provide emotional support. (帮助他人可以通过mitigating心理压力、加强能提供情感支持的社会联系来维护大脑健康。)”可知，帮助别人对大脑健康有好处。由此推测，它可以降低心理压力。因画线词的意思应该是“降低；减少”，与reduce同义。 28．C 29．A 30．B 31．C 【导语】本文主要讲述的是Stephanie Garber在遭遇车祸后，一位陌生女士递给她一杯热茶的暖心故事，以及这份善意对Garber产生的深远影响。 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“She wasn’t injured, but the other driver was annoyed, claiming the accident was Garber’s fault. And her car was completely destroyed. (她没有受伤，但另一位司机很生气，声称事故是Garber的错。她的车完全被毁了。)”可知，Garber在事故中没有受伤，但她的车被完全撞毁了。 29．细节理解题。根据第二段““I was standing there. I was anxious and nervous. And I felt guilty about keeping the traffic stopped,” Garber said.(Garber说到：‘我站在那，我很焦虑、紧张。我对阻碍了交通感到内疚。’)”可知，Garber哭泣是因为她感到焦虑不安，并且对造成交通堵塞感到羞愧内疚。 30．细节理解题。根据第四段“Garber held on to the small tag from the tea bag for about 15 years as a way to remember the woman’s act of generosity. (Garber将茶包上的小标签保留了大约15年，以此来纪念那位女士的慷慨之举。)”可知，Garber保留茶包标签是为了珍藏这份意外获得的善意。 31．主旨大意题。根据最后一段“And this might have seemed like a very small kindness, but it meant a lot. (这可能看起来只是一份很小的善意，但它意义重大。)”可知，文章主要想传达的是：微小的关怀之举能产生深远的影响。 32．A 33．D 34．C 35．B 【导语】本文主要介绍了爱丁堡艺术节的起源、发展，以及爱丁堡边缘艺术节的诞生和逐渐壮大的过程。 32．细节理解题。根据第一段“The idea was to seek a stage for artists. (这个想法是为艺术家寻找一个舞台。)”可知，爱丁堡艺术节最初的想法是为艺术家寻找一个表演的舞台，即给艺术家提供表演平台。 33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Eight theater groups turned up uninvited in 1947, believing that everyone should have the right to perform, and they did so in a public house that had been disused for years. (1947年，八个剧团不请自来，他们认为每个人都有表演的权利，于是在一家废弃多年的酒馆里进行了演出。)”可知，爱丁堡边缘艺术节的起源是1947年8个剧团不请自来进行表演。 34．词句猜测题。根据第五段“Today the Fringe, once less embraced, has far outgrown the festival with around 1500 performances of music, dance and theatre on every one of the 21 days it lasts. (如今，曾经不那么被embraced的边缘艺术节，规模已远超正式艺术节。)”可知，边缘艺术节现在已经远超主艺术节，而once less embraced指它曾经不被那么接受，与现在的壮大形成对比。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段“A paid administrator was first employed only in 1971, and today there are 8 administrators working all year round and the number rises to 150 during August itself. In 2004, there were 200 places housing 1695 shows by over 600 different groups from 50 different countries. More than 1.25 million tickets were sold. (1971年才首次雇用一名带薪管理人员，如今有8名行政人员全年工作，8月份人数增至150人。2004年，有200个场地承办了来自50个国家600多个不同团体的1695场演出，门票销量超过125万张。)”可知，这些数字直观体现了边缘艺术节从最初的8个剧团，发展到后来规模庞大的过程，核心是为了展示艺术节发展迅速。 36．E 37．C 38．D 39．A 40．F 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了教孩子了解世界文化的几种方法，包括制作“护照”、学习文化习俗、教授语言和庆祝节日等。 36．由上文“Teaching your children about world cultures helps them appreciate the differences in people and their traditions.(教你的孩子了解世界文化有助于他们欣赏不同民族和他们的传统之间的差异。)”、下文“Instead, use your imagination to explore the world without even needing a suitcase.(相反，用你的想象力去探索世界，甚至不需要行李箱。)”可知，本空应说明教孩子了解世界文化的方法，E选项“Achieving this doesn’t require just opening a textbook.(要做到这一点，并不只是打开课本。)”能承上启下，符合语境，故选E。 37．由上文“Create a Passport.

When they’re exploring world cultures, study each country’s official language.(学习外语对孩子来说很有趣。当他们探索世界文化时，学习每个国家的官方语言。)”可知，本空应是一个小标题，概括下文内容，即语言的教授和学习。A选项“Teach the Language.(教授语言。)”作为段落主题句，概括了下文的核心内容，能总领全段，符合题意。故选 A。 40．由上文“Celebrate Holidays. Keep a calendar of upcoming holidays celebrated in other countries (庆祝节日。记录其他国家即将庆祝的节日。)”及下文“For example, Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the United Kingdom observe Boxing Day. The holiday’s tradition includes giving money and donations to organizations and people in need. To celebrate, the two of you can box some canned goods for the local food bank. You can also drop a few bills or donate things to a nonprofit.(例如，澳大利亚、加拿大、新西兰和英国都庆祝节礼日。这个节日的传统包括给有需要的组织和个人捐款。为了庆祝，你们两个可以为当地的食物银行打包一些罐头食品。你也可以捐几张钞票或捐东西给非营利组织。)”可知，本空应强调按照该国的习俗来庆祝节日。F选项“Celebrate national holidays just as people in that country do(像那个国家的人一样庆祝国家节日)”能承上启下，符合题意。故选F。 41．B 42．A 43．D 44．A 45．C 46．A 47．D 48．D 49．C 50．B 51．A 52．B 53．C 54．C 55．D 【导语】文章讲述作者沉迷社交媒体深受不良影响，下定决心改变并自律戒瘾，最终收获自我成长。 【详解】41．考查形容词。​ 句意：多年来，我已经对它上瘾了——从醒来直到睡觉都在刷不同的应用程序，第二天重复同样的模式。A. sensitive敏感的；B. addicted上瘾的；C. mean吝啬的；D. similar相似的。根据后文“surfing through different apps from the moment I woke up until I went to bed”可知，作者沉迷其中，对社交媒体上瘾。 42．考查动词。​ 句意：句意同上。A. repeated重复；B. identified识别；C. broke打破；D. analyzed分析。根据后文“the same pattern the next day”可知，作者每天重复同样的行为模式。 43．考查动词。​ 句意：后果可想而知——随着我熬夜滚屏浏览无尽的信息流，我的睡眠质量下降了。A. improved改善；B. restored恢复；C. increased增加；D. suffered变差。根据“as I stayed up late”可知，熬夜会导致睡眠质量受损害。 44．考查形容词。​ 句意：更糟糕的是，我的同学们都在参加有意义的活动并取得进步，而我只是在消耗我以前的优势，变得平平无奇。A. average普通的；B. experienced有经验的；C. confident自信的；D. critical批评的。根据前文“while I was merely using up my previous advantages”可知，作者与同学的进步形成对比，自己变得普通。 45．考查动词。​ 句意：这种反差加剧了我的自我批评。A. relieved缓解；B. voiced表达；C. fueled助长、加剧；D. ended结束。根据前文“while I was merely using up my previous advantages”可知，作者与同学的进步形成对比，这种对比让作者更加自我责备，即加剧了自我批评。 46．考查名词。​ 句意：所以在1月份，我决定是时候做出改变了。A. shift转变；B. competition竞争；C. discussion讨论；D. trial审判。根据后文“I  ______  my social media exposure by consciously focusing on other meaningful activities.

One sharply asked why I filled children’s heads with art instead of survival skills, and another whispered I sought personal fame. My confidence shook. I invited the most doubtful to visit. They saw Samuel, once shy, confidently describing his sculpture, and noticed Maria weaving a basket while softly singing a song from home. The questioning elders fell silent. The doubt lifted — not by my words, but by the clear sense of purpose shining in the children’s faces. Now, children from many countries come to our classes. They first connect through shared creation, not words. My first plastic-bottle boat stands as a quiet teacher. The program’s true strength lies in the children’s own transformation. I am no longer just a teacher, but a listener, helper, and witness. Looking at the lake, I see a powerful picture of strength: a generation that lost its home is growing anew, by turning life into art, creating something beautiful and strong. 【导语】本文以人物为线索。讲述了作者被迫流亡后生活艰难，曾是专业艺术从业者的他常在湖边借音乐慰藉自己。他捡拾湖边塑料废品创作艺术品，重拾希望与自信。随后他创办艺术公益项目，教当地孩子变废为宝、学习艺术和音乐。项目一度遭当地长者质疑，但孩子们的积极蜕变打消了非议，助力困境少年重塑自我、向阳成长。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写项目一度遭当地长者质疑，但孩子们的积极蜕变打消了非议。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写作者助力困境少年重塑自我、向阳成长。 2.续写线索：一些长辈开始质疑→信心顿时动摇→孩子们的积极蜕变打消了非议→许多国家的孩子们来到我们的课堂→助力困境少年重塑自我 3.词汇激活 行为类 注意到：noticed/ observed 在于：lie in / consist in 创造：create /build 情绪类 怀疑的：doubtful / skeptical 自信地：confidently / assuredly 【点睛】[高分句型1].
