Would you like to travel for a skiing getaway? This list of the top ski resorts in China will help you plan a perfect ski vacation. Yabuli Ski Resort Featuring 17 ski trails and a snow season lasting up to five months, Yabuli, one of the largest comprehensive snow training centers in China, meets the needs of professional ski training. Its “Erguokui” trail is famous as one of the steepest off-piste runs in Asia. Beidahu Ski Resort Known for its excellent snow quality, Beidahu Ski Resort offers a family-friendly resort experience. It provides comfortable accommodation, various dining options and dedicated children’s services, which make it an ideal destination for family trips. The resort has 20 beginner trails, 34 intermediate trails, 9 advanced trails, 10 chairlifts and 7 magic carpets. Jiangjun Mountain Ski Resort As the only alpine ski resort in China connected to a city, it features 54 trails surrounded by beautiful scenery, making it an excellent spot to enjoy sunsets over the slopes. Songhua Lake Ski Resort Home to one of the longest alpine ski runs in China, the Songhua Lake Ski Resort slope is approximately 5.23 kilometers in length, with a total of 34 high-quality trails. Chairlifts provide direct access to the summit, where visitors can enjoy amazing sunsets over the slopes. 1. If you need professional ski training, where would you like to go? A. Yabuli Ski Resort. B. Beidahu Ski Resort. C. Songhua Lake Ski Resort. D. Jiangjun Mountain Ski Resort. 2. What makes Beidahu Ski Resort special? A. It has the best snow quality. B. It has a five-month snow season. C. It provides a family-friendly experience. D. It’s the only city-connected alpine ski resort. 3. Where is this text most probably taken from? A. A travel brochure. B. A business magazine. C. A geography textbook. D. A scientific research report. B During the past year, Alyssa, from Prestatyn, Denbighshire has made more than 200 blankets using almost 10,000 waste crisp packets (薯片包装袋). The blankets have been given to organizations which support homeless people inLlandudno, Wrexham and Rhyl. Each one takes an hour to make, but Alyssa said the effort was worth it because it helps homeless people and stops the crisp packets from being thrown in the bin. “The bit I don’t like is washing them,” she said. “Each packet has to be opened out so it’s flat and then washed in the sink. Then you take four of them, put them under a piece of baking (烘焙) paper, and iron them so that the heat fuses (熔接) them together. Finally, you sandwich the crisp packets between two thin sheets of clear plastic, and you use the iron again to seal that in place.” She explained the finished blankets look very similar on one side to the silver blankets given to marathon runners after they cross the finishing line. Alyssa started making the blankets in August 2021 and asked her mum to get colleagues at work to start collecting old crisp packets for her. She said: “When you put the blanket around your body, the heat reflects back off the silver part of the crisp packet. You wouldn’t think you could turn a crisp packet into something so helpful, but homeless people like the blankets because they’re really lightweight and waterproof. Crisp packets are really hard to recycle, so this is a new way to stop them going in the bin.” Alyssa and her mum put the blankets into a bag along with other essential items like gloves, socks and toothpaste. The packs are given to homeless shelters or support organisations. Alyssa’s mum, Darlene, said: “she makes the blankets after school-it certainly keeps her away from her phone. She’s passionate about the environment, and the homeless support organisations in North Wales have been very positive about the blankets.” 4. Why did Alyssa make blankets out of waste crisp packets? A. To make her dream come true. B. To help people in need. C. To support her mum’s work. D. To raise money for some organizations. 5. Which of the following can best describe Alyssa’s job of making the blankets? A. Expensive. B. Traditional. C. Effort-taking. D. Annoying. 6. What do you know about the blankets that Alyssa made? A. They are heavy to carry. B. They are hard to recycle. C. They are given to marathon runners. D. They are of great help to homeless people. 7. What is Darlene’s attitude towards her daughter’s deeds? A. Positive. B. Unconcerned. C. Worried. D. Doubtful. C In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise? The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. While there’s little evidence that our inborn ability to focus has declined, habits like multitasking and frequent digital interruptions can make us more easily distracted. To fight this, apps like the popular “Focus Friend” have emerged. These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. It also uses the “commitment and consistency” principle — starting a timer feels like a promise to yourself, which you’re then motivated to keep. However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality. If you decide to try a focus app, use it wisely. Schedule specific sessions for well-defined tasks, and notice the urge to check your phone without acting on it. After a week, critically assess if the app helped you make real progress. Be mindful of possible problems: these apps can’t judge your work’s value, so you might stay “focused” on unimportant tasks. Ultimately, while an app can help handle the pull of your phone, lasting focus requires internal discipline — learning to notice sudden distracting wants and consciously choosing to return to what matters. 8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. Smartphones are the main source of distraction. B. Our natural focus ability has greatly weakened. C. Self-discipline lies at the heart of focus problems. D. Multitasking is an effective way to get work done. 9. How does “Focus Friend” try to guide users’ behavior? A. By completely blocking access to a banned app. B. By using psychological tricks and instant rewards. C. By offering professional consulting sessions. D. By simplifying phone functions to grayscale mode. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current research on focus apps? A. Strongly supportive. B. Cautiously doubtful. C. Clearly disapproving. D. Fully convinced. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Focus Apps: Productivity Tools or Digital Noise? B. Focus Apps: Effective Solutions or Passing Trends? C. The Psychological Principles Behind Focus Apps D. The Limitations of Gamified Focus Apps D Sometimes it’s not sunny enough to depend on solar power, or windy enough to turn the windmill (风车). So, Finnish researchers have invented a year-round, 24/7 energy source: a battery made from sand. Markku Ylonen and Tommi Eronen are the young engineers who came up with the idea of building a sand battery. They founded a company called Polar Night Energy to develop their concept. Now, they’ve placed their first sand battery in a power plant in southwest Finland. So how do you build a sand battery? Polar Night poured 100 tons of low-grade sand into a container. Then they charged the sand battery with cheap solar or wind energy until it was 500 degrees Celsius. As anybody who’s ever burnt their soles (鞋底) on a hot beach knows, sand stores heat very well. Polar Night’s plan is in its name: they want to use that hot sand to warm homes and other buildings through Finland’s long, cold winter nights. As the sand warms up, a heat exchanger in the sand will circulate (循环) the hot air until it’s distributed (分布) throughout the sand battery. Ylonen and Eronen say their battery will be able to keep the sand at a toasty 500 degrees Celsius for several months. Since green energy is hard to come by in winter, that’s when the price shoots up. Polar Night’s plan is to charge their sand battery before the days get short. “Whenever there’s this high surge of available green electricity, we want to be able to get it into storage really quickly," said Ylonen, as reported by the BBC. Most batteries require lithium (锂) — which is expensive to extract (提取) from the earth — so increasing the production of sand batteries could be one more useful tool in the fight against ruining the planet beyond human habitation. But we can’t get too excited. A recently released UN report named sand the Earth’s second most exploited (被开发的) resource after water, and warned of a global sand crisis (危机). Used for constructing roads and buildings, sand is our most mined material. 12. Why are solar power and windmill mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To bring up a creative suggestion. B. To stress the importance of the sun and wind. C. To introduce the topic of a special battery. D. To praise Finnish researchers for their contributions. 13. Why does the author refer to the example of someone burning the soles on a hot beach? A. To explain the pain while walking on the beach. B. To explain the purpose of the Polar Night’s plan. C. To explain the reason for building sand batteries. D. To explain the characteristic of sand storing heat. 14. What do the underlined words“shoots up” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Reduces rapidly. B. Cuts rapidly. C. Increases quickly. D. Forms gradually. 15. What does the recently released UN report suggest? A. Lithium is easy to extract from the earth. B. Sand is in danger of being over-exploited. C. Water is more precious natural resource than sand. D. Increasing the production of sand batteries is harmful. 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。 Why Literature Matters When we think of literature, we often picture dusty books on library shelves — stories written long ago by authors we’ll never meet. ____16____ It speaks to us across time and space, offering both escape and understanding. Good literature serves as both a mirror and a window. As a mirror, it reflects our own experiences back to us. ____17____ We recognize ourselves in their struggles and joys, feeling less alone in the world. This connection can be deeply comforting, especially during the confusing years of adolescence. ____18____ It allows us to step into lives completely different from our own. We can walk through the streets of Victorian London with Charles Dickens, feel the weight of racism with Maya Angelou, or experience the challenges of immigrating to a new country with contemporary authors. Through these literary journeys, our capacity for empathy grows. Reading literature also strengthens our minds in unique ways. Unlike watching a film, where images are provided for us, reading requires us to actively build worlds in our imagination. ____19____ This mental exercise helps develop critical thinking skills that are valuable in every area of life. In a world of quick clicks, literature invites us to slow down. It asks us to sit with complex ideas and to care about people who exist only on pages. ____20____ A. Perhaps that is why literature truly matters. B. Literature also builds empathy by acting as a window. C. Literature, however, is far from dust or distance. D. This process improves concentration and creativity. E. We see characters facing dilemmas similar to our own. F. It helps us understand the world through different eyes. G. Young people today read less than previous generations. 第二部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A Chinese rapper, Lan Lao, has been attracting ____21____ crowds during his North America tour.

The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the sub way station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第二学期期中考试 高中二年级英语试卷 本试卷满分130分，考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔将自己的考生号填涂在答题卡上，并将条形码横贴在答题卡左上角“条形码粘贴处”。 2．作答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔将答题卡上对应题目选项的答案信息点涂黑;如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案，答案不能答在试卷上。 3．非选择题必须用黑色字迹的钢笔或签字笔作答，答案必须写在答题卡各题目指定区域内相应位置上;如需改动，先划掉原来的答案，然后再写上新的答案;不准使用铅笔和涂改液。不按以上要求作答的答案无效。 4．考生必须保持答题卡的整洁。考试结束后，请将答题卡交回。 第一部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Top Ski Resorts in China China, a land of diverse landscapes and rich culture, boasts some of the most spectacular ski resorts in the world.

She’s passionate about the environment, and the homeless support organisations in North Wales have been very positive about the blankets.”(Alyssa的妈妈达琳说：“她放学后就开始制作毯子，这确实让她远离了手机。她对环境充满热情，北威尔士的无家可归者援助组织对毯子也给予了高度评价。”)”可知，Darlene对女儿的行为持积极态度。故选A。 C In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise? The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. While there’s little evidence that our inborn ability to focus has declined, habits like multitasking and frequent digital interruptions can make us more easily distracted. To fight this, apps like the popular “Focus Friend” have emerged. These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. It also uses the “commitment and consistency” principle — starting a timer feels like a promise to yourself, which you’re then motivated to keep. However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality. If you decide to try a focus app, use it wisely. Schedule specific sessions for well-defined tasks, and notice the urge to check your phone without acting on it. After a week, critically assess if the app helped you make real progress. Be mindful of possible problems: these apps can’t judge your work’s value, so you might stay “focused” on unimportant tasks. Ultimately, while an app can help handle the pull of your phone, lasting focus requires internal discipline — learning to notice sudden distracting wants and consciously choosing to return to what matters. 8. What can be inferred from the second paragraph? A. Smartphones are the main source of distraction. B. Our natural focus ability has greatly weakened. C. Self-discipline lies at the heart of focus problems. D. Multitasking is an effective way to get work done. 9. How does “Focus Friend” try to guide users’ behavior? A. By completely blocking access to a banned app. B. By using psychological tricks and instant rewards. C. By offering professional consulting sessions. D. By simplifying phone functions to grayscale mode. 10. What’s the author’s attitude towards the current research on focus apps? A. Strongly supportive. B. Cautiously doubtful. C. Clearly disapproving. D. Fully convinced. 11. What would be the best title for the text? A. Focus Apps: Productivity Tools or Digital Noise? B. Focus Apps: Effective Solutions or Passing Trends? C. The Psychological Principles Behind Focus Apps D. The Limitations of Gamified Focus Apps 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了专注力应用程序的作用、原理、研究情况及使用建议 。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The main challenge to focus is self-regulation. When a task feels boring or stressful, we naturally seek relief, often turning to our smartphones. (专注面临的主要挑战是自我调节。当一项任务让人感到无聊或有压力时，我们自然会寻求解脱，通常会求助于智能手机。)”可知，自我约束是专注问题的核心。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These apps employ psychological principles to guide behavior. “Focus Friend,” for example, uses a virtual character that knits (编织) peacefully as you work. If you open a banned app, the knitting comes undone. If you complete a focus session, this system uses immediate rewards, like digital items for your character, to make up for your devotion to the potentially unpleasant work. (这些应用程序运用心理学原理来引导行为。例如，“专注伙伴”使用一个虚拟角色，在你工作时安静地编织。如果你打开一个被禁止的应用程序，编织就会解开。如果你完成了一个专注时段，这个系统会使用即时奖励，比如为你的角色提供数字物品，来弥补你对可能令人不快的工作的投入。)”可知，“专注伙伴”通过心理技巧和即时奖励来引导用户行为。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“However, scientific research on their effectiveness is limited. One study found that while users enjoyed gamified apps, they didn’t often use them and found simpler strategies (like setting a phone to greyscale (灰度模式)) more effective for reducing usage. High app store ratings for “Focus Friend” suggest user enjoyment, but enjoyment doesn’t necessarily translate to improved focus or output quality. (然而，关于它们有效性的科学研究有限。一项研究发现，虽然用户喜欢游戏化的应用程序，但他们并不经常使用，而且发现更简单的策略（比如将手机设置为灰度模式）对减少使用更有效。“专注伙伴”在应用商店的高评分表明用户喜欢，但喜欢并不一定意味着专注力或输出质量有所提高。)”可知，作者对目前关于专注力应用程序的研究持谨慎怀疑态度。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“In our era of constant digital distraction, a wave of “focus apps” promises to help us reclaim our productivity by blocking interruptions and using gamification (游戏化) to encourage deep work. But do these apps truly help, or are they just another form of digital noise? (在我们这个不断受到数字干扰的时代，一波“专注力应用程序”承诺通过屏蔽干扰和使用游戏化来鼓励深度工作，帮助我们恢复生产力。但这些应用程序真的有帮助吗，还是它们只是另一种形式的数字噪音？)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讨论了专注力应用程序是生产力工具还是数字噪音，所以“专注力应用：生产力工具还是数字噪音？”适合作为文章标题。故选A项。 D Sometimes it’s not sunny enough to depend on solar power, or windy enough to turn the windmill (风车). So, Finnish researchers have invented a year-round, 24/7 energy source: a battery made from sand. Markku Ylonen and Tommi Eronen are the young engineers who came up with the idea of building a sand battery. They founded a company called Polar Night Energy to develop their concept. Now, they’ve placed their first sand battery in a power plant in southwest Finland. So how do you build a sand battery? Polar Night poured 100 tons of low-grade sand into a container. Then they charged the sand battery with cheap solar or wind energy until it was 500 degrees Celsius. As anybody who’s ever burnt their soles (鞋底) on a hot beach knows, sand stores heat very well. Polar Night’s plan is in its name: they want to use that hot sand to warm homes and other buildings through Finland’s long, cold winter nights. As the sand warms up, a heat exchanger in the sand will circulate (循环) the hot air until it’s distributed (分布) throughout the sand battery. Ylonen and Eronen say their battery will be able to keep the sand at a toasty 500 degrees Celsius for several months. Since green energy is hard to come by in winter, that’s when the price shoots up. Polar Night’s plan is to charge their sand battery before the days get short. “Whenever there’s this high surge of available green electricity, we want to be able to get it into storage really quickly," said Ylonen, as reported by the BBC. Most batteries require lithium (锂) — which is expensive to extract (提取) from the earth — so increasing the production of sand batteries could be one more useful tool in the fight against ruining the planet beyond human habitation. But we can’t get too excited. A recently released UN report named sand the Earth’s second most exploited (被开发的) resource after water, and warned of a global sand crisis (危机). Used for constructing roads and buildings, sand is our most mined material. 12. Why are solar power and windmill mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To bring up a creative suggestion. B. To stress the importance of the sun and wind. C. To introduce the topic of a special battery. D. To praise Finnish researchers for their contributions. 13. Why does the author refer to the example of someone burning the soles on a hot beach? A. To explain the pain while walking on the beach. B. To explain the purpose of the Polar Night’s plan. C. To explain the reason for building sand batteries. D. To explain the characteristic of sand storing heat. 14. What do the underlined words“shoots up” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Reduces rapidly. B. Cuts rapidly. C. Increases quickly. D. Forms gradually. 15. What does the recently released UN report suggest? A. Lithium is easy to extract from the earth. B. Sand is in danger of being over-exploited. C. Water is more precious natural resource than sand. D. Increasing the production of sand batteries is harmful. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍芬兰研究人员发明的沙子电池，其工作原理、储能优势以及面临的沙子过度开采问题。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Sometimes it’s not sunny enough to depend on solar power, or windy enough to turn the windmill (风车). So, Finnish researchers have invented a year-round, 24/7 energy source: a battery made from sand. (有时阳光不足无法依靠太阳能，风力不够无法驱动风车。因此，芬兰研究人员发明了一种全年全天候的能源：一种用沙子制成的电池)”可知，作者提及太阳能和风能是为了引出沙子电池这一主题。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“As anybody who’s ever burnt their soles (鞋底) on a hot beach knows, sand stores heat very well. (任何曾经在炎热的海滩上烫到鞋底的人都知道，沙子储热能力非常好)”可知，作者举这个例子是为了说明沙子储热好的特性。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中的“Since green energy is hard to come by in winter, that’s when the price shoots up.(由于冬季绿色能源难以获得，此时价格会shoots up)”可知，前文提到绿色能源在冬天很难获取，根据供求常识，资源稀缺时价格通常会快速上升，因此“shoots up”意为“快速增加、急剧上涨”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“A recently released UN report named sand the Earth’s second most exploited (被开发的) resource after water, and warned of a global sand crisis (危机). (一份近期发布的联合国报告将沙子列为地球上仅次于水的第二大被开发资源，并警告全球沙子危机)”可知，联合国报告表明沙子正面临被过度开采的危险。故选B项。 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。 Why Literature Matters When we think of literature, we often picture dusty books on library shelves — stories written long ago by authors we’ll never meet. ____16____ It speaks to us across time and space, offering both escape and understanding.

The temperature was below zero so I rushed into the sub way station, hoping to get warm. Warmth came to my body as I settled onto a bench with a cup of hot coffee. Now I was ready to relax and do some serious people-watching. I noticed a homeless man seated nearby. The pleasant smell of delicious food from the subway food court (美食广场) was attracting me to consider an early dinner. From the longing look in my neighbor’s eyes, it was obvious that he, too, noticed the good smell. I wondered how long it had been since he had eaten anything, expecting he would approach me for some food. But he never did. My head and heart were battling it out: the former telling me to mind my own business, and the latter urging me to make an immediate trip to the food court for him. While this inner debate was fierce, a well-dressed young couple suddenly approached. “Excuse me, sir,” began the husband. “We just finished eating and our appetite wasn’t as big as we thought. We hate to waste food. Can you help us out and put this to good use?” The kind stranger handed a large container with food. “Thank you.” came the grateful reply. Feeling good about what I had seen, but disappointed by my own lack of action, I observed my neighbor’s response to his sudden good fortune. He lifted the soup, cupping his hands around the steaming bowl. It was obvious that he was going to enjoy this miracle meal. He opened mouth and suddenly, he stopped. The reason for this unexpected behavior soon became clear. Entering the hall was a new arrival, in his seventies, without a hat and gloves. His lightweight jacket was a poor protection against cold. His face and hands were red and damaged. People around focused on him with pity and whispered at this sad sight. 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。 My neighbor was the only one taking action. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: My neighbor was the only one taking action. Quickly putting aside his miracle meal, my neighbour stood up and guided the elderly man to share his seat. Hardly had he seated himself when my neighbour tenderly put his jacket over the elderly man’s shoulders. He said with a smile, “Can you help out?”, passing the meal and placing the steaming cup of soup in his hands. The old man obviously was astonished, but he accepted it with gratitude. Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself. At the moment, my head and heart stopped battling, determined to buy a meal for my neighbour. I went to buy food from the food court, with tears welling up in my eyes. What my neighbour said exactly spoke my mind. Despite a sense of guilt in my heart, I felt it was my job to do the same. After a while, I came back with steaming soup and a sandwich. I approached my neighbour respectfully, “Can you help me out?” I asked “Why not?” He responded jokingly. People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved. It wasn’t until that day that I truly understand the meaning of sharing. I left the subway station, feeling warmer, even if the bitter cold wind filled the air. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在地铁站喝咖啡取暖时，注意到身边的流浪汉期待作者能施舍食物给他，但是作者很矛盾，感觉自己应该少管闲事，但又想帮助流浪汉，带他去美食广场。这时，一对年轻夫妇给了这位流浪汉热气腾腾的食物。流浪汉准备享受大餐，但突然他停了下来，因为他看到了一个七十多岁的看起来更可怜的人。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我旁边的人是唯一一个采取行动的人。”可知，第一段可描写流浪汉引导老人坐在座位上，并将自己的衣服和热汤给老人，作者停止挣扎，做出了决定。 ②由第二段首句内容“当我去美食广场买食物时，泪水模糊了我的视线。”可知，第二段可描写作者买了热汤和三明治给流浪汉和老人，流浪汉邀请作者一起吃三明治，作者学会了分享的意义，感受到温暖。 2. 续写线索：流浪汉引导老人坐下——流浪汉让老人穿上羽绒服，喝热汤——作者做出决定—作者买热汤和三明治——与流浪汉分享——作者学会分享的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①放下：put aside/set down/lay aside ②站起来：stand up/rise to one’s feet/get up ③接近：approach/come up to/walk up to 情绪类 ①惊讶的：astonished/surprised ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】Seeing this, I was so ashamed of myself.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） 【高分句型2】People around cast admiring look on me, which made me relieved.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
