It removes registration barriers: you can use its first 3 trial lessons without creating an account — just click “Start Learning” on the homepage, and a 2-minute introductory session about daily topics (such as “household waste sorting”) will start immediately. These short lessons help you quickly understand the platform’s style before you make a subscription decision.

It has no commercial partnerships, so there are no ads during learning, and it offers 24-hour support to answer questions for regular subscribers promptly. Subscription Plans ·1-month trial: $9.95 (renewal is $14.95/month; no partial refund if it’s canceled early) ·3/6/12 months: $10.95/$8.95/$7.95/month (no trial discount for these; the 12-month plan adds 5 free environmental e-books) A 30-day money-back guarantee only applies to direct buyers of the 3/6/12-month plans (not trial renewals).

B The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an overwhelming physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concern over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university. The final catalyst for my breakdown was an unexpected rejection from the regional Red Cross Youth Council. As the vice president of my school’s chapter, I had never considered this possibility. The Red Cross was my passion and what I relied on to set me apart from other applicants. This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit. I found my mother, the woman who had sacrificed her own career and life for my opportunities, and poured out my fears. She listened attentively before drawing a circle on the tablecloth. “This is your time,” she began. “Eighty percent is schoolwork, ten percent the SAT, and ten percent extracurriculars.” She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent is your mental health.” “Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued. “We want you to have a good job so you’ll be less stressed. If this path makes you so unhappy, it isn’t worth it. If you’re happier flipping hamburgers, so be it.” Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that is wrapped around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break. Though my routine remains the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective has been forever changed. The fear of failure loses its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid, for I know that if I missed, I would land right in my mother’s arms. 4. What does the underlined word “catalyst” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Cause. B. Solution. C. Symbol. D. Foundation. 5. What does the author’s mother attach most importance to? A. The sacrifice for her daughter. B. The author’s overall wellbeing. C. The relief of the author’s stress. D. The author’s devotion to schoolwork. 6. What does the use of the “rubber band” try to illustrate? A. A conflict with her father about goals. B. A bond between the author and her mother. C. A link to the author’s academic performance. D. A shift in the author’s perspective on pressure. 7. What does the author mean by saying “reaching for the moon”? A. She will be unbeatable. B. She has achieved all her goals. C. She will continue to aim high. D. She has a passion for astronomy. C Artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to help save the UK’s endangered red squirrels (松鼠). The groundbreaking technology, known as Squirrel Agent, has been trained to spot the difference between red and grey squirrels in order to manage feeders meant for red squirrels and ultimately, control populations. The UK’s only native squirrel species, reds have been under threat since the introduction of greys from North America in the late 19th century. Today, greys are thought to number some 2.7 million versus only a few hundred thousand reds. This is largely because greys are bigger, outcompeting reds for food and territory, and carry squirrelpox, a disease deadly to reds. Collectively, these pressures have pushed red squirrels to the edge of extinction. Squirrel Agent, which claims a 97 percent accuracy rate, recognises reds by their size, shape and weight, and features such as tails, faces and ears. Feeders are then remotely opened for reds or, for greys, kept closed, instead opening traps or encouraging them to consume pills aimed at birth control. “It’s a real showcase of what AI can do — it’s working in real time to do a task that we don’t have enough human volunteers for,” says Emma McClenaghan, co-founder of Genysys Engine, which developed the system. Project Red Haven, as the programme is known, is being tested by five wildlife charities, including the Scottish Wildlife Trust and Ulster Wildlife. But this is just the beginning. It’s hoped that the tool’s tech will evolve (逐步发展) sufficiently to not only identify different species, but also individuals. “Whiskers (须) are like human fingerprints,” says McClenaghan. By distinguishing squirrels through their whiskers, AI will build data over time to help conservationists track family lines. 8. What is the function of the second paragraph? A. To give a specific example. B. To tell of red squirrels’ extinction. C. To provide background context. D. To clarify the species of squirrels. 9. How does Squirrel Agent respond to a grey squirrel approaching a feeder? A. It releases birth control medicine first. B. It shuts the feeder and may activate a trap. C. It keeps the grey away from the feeder. D. It sends an alarm to the human volunteers. 10. What do we know about Project Red Haven? A. It has been fully applied by wildlife charities. B. It was created by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. C. It can accurately identify individual animals. D. It is likely to have a more promising future. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Tech “Squirrel Agent” Can Target Greys at Feeders B. AI Controls Grey Squirrels by Spreading Squirrelpox C. Wildlife Charities Test New Feeder Designs for Squirrels D. How Grey Squirrels Outcompete Red Squirrels D “Red tourism”, a new form of travel where people visit important historical sites and monuments (纪念碑). It has improved the development of the tourism industry in summer. And red tourism becomes more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday. Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform (平台), increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays. Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and enjoying the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the happiness of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution (革命) and its heroes to the next generations, people can lift their spirits. Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes (收入) of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it contributes to local economic development. Data show that this year, there are about 2 billion tourists visiting red tourism sites, and its market size nearly reaches 1 trillion. Yet red tourism faces some developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development. 12. What can we know about red tourism? A. It is not popular with the young. B. It has brought life to tourism. C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery. 13. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2? A. To raise concern. B. To prove his idea. C. To explain the story. D. To introduce a platform. 14. What is the advantage of red tourism for rural areas? A. Local people can make more money. B. It can help improve farming equipment. C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors. D. Local people can receive much help from society. 15. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs? A. More and more people will choose red tourism. B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism. C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems. D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public. 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。 THE WORLD OF SPEED EATING Competitive eating — or speed eating — is exactly what its name suggests.

To encourage him, his friends bought him a guide dog named Cooper. Benjamin admitted the dog made all the difference. He regained some independence such as walking through the park. Benjamin’s friend, Natalie, was singing in a performance at the local concert hall, which was an excellent opportunity for her. Benjamin hadn’t expected to go, but Natalie wanted him there and mentioned some of their friends would be present too. So he put on his nice suit, grabbed Cooper, and set out. Benjamin reached the hall a bit late. He decided to go to his friends later and sit with his dog in the closest row he could sense. He knew at least two people were sitting in the same row. “Oh! Who brings a dog to the nice concert hall?” Benjamin heard a woman complain. Maybe she didn’t notice his really black glasses and didn’t understand why he needed a dog. “Ada, he’s blind. It’s his service dog,” her husband replied. Natalie took the stage. Although Benjamin couldn’t see her, he knew she looked beautiful. Meanwhile, the woman named Ada continued complaining about Cooper. Benjamin was about to be angry. She had known he was blind. Worst of all, she was interrupting his friend’s concert. Benjamin decided he would leave as soon as Natalie finished her song. However, as the song ended, Natalie began to address the audience. “Thank you, everyone. The next song is for one special friend in particular, Benjamin, “Natalie said, looking in Benjamin’s direction and Benjamin could hear the emotions in her voice.” You sacrificed (牺牲) so much for our country, and you are our hero. I do hope the next song brings you happiness and shows you the wonderful world.” Benjamin felt tears falling from his eyes. Cooper rested its head on his knee, comforting him as Natalie belted out a beautiful song. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 To Benjamin’s shock, the woman kept quiet the entire time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ada, with her husband, approached when Benjamin and his friends chatted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高二年级下学期期中考试英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5个小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一道小题，从每题所给的A、B、C选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要讲述了作者深陷学业、升学压力，又遭社团落选彻底崩溃。母亲开导她身心健康最为重要，这番话让作者豁然开朗，依旧心怀理想追梦，却不再畏惧挫折。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“The unforgiving demands of the IB program became my reality on the third day of school with an overwhelming physics lab. My teacher’s claim that no one would score above 90% shook my confidence. This anxiety was intensified at home, where my father voiced his concern over my flat SAT progress, a necessity for a celebrated university.( 在入学后的第三天，我便深切地感受到了IB课程的严苛要求。那是一次令人难以承受的物理实验课。我的老师声称没有人能取得超过 90%的高分，这让我对自己的成绩失去了信心。这种焦虑在家里也愈发严重，因为我的父亲对我在 SAT 成绩毫无进步表示担忧”，因为这关系到能否被一所知名大学录取。)”可知，前文已经铺垫了作者面临的多重压力：IB 课程的严苛要求、物理实验的打击、父亲对SAT进度的担忧。而红十字会青年理事会的意外拒绝是最终导致作者崩溃的直接诱因。“catalyst”在此处意为“催化剂、诱因”，与 A选项“cause（原因）” 语义最接近。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“She then looked at me with deep emotion and said, “But most importantly, at one hundred percent is your mental health.”(然后她满怀深情地看着我，说道：“但最重要的是，100%是你的心理健康。”)”以及第四段中““Nothing is more important than your health,” she continued.(“没有什么比你的健康更重要了，”她接着说道。)”可知，作者的母亲最看重的是作者的整体健康状况。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“This rejection made my future seem dim, and I broke like a rubber band stretched beyond its limit.( 这次拒绝让我的未来变得黯淡无光，我就像被拉伸到极限的橡皮筋一样崩溃了。)”以及倒数第二段“Her insight was a big relief. I realized a rubber band doesn’t have to keep stretching. A rubber band that is wrapped around your hair during the day and is allowed to rest on your nightstand at night won’t ever break.( 她的这番见解给了我很大的安慰。我意识到橡皮筋并不一定要一直拉伸。白天缠绕在你头发上的橡皮筋，到了晚上只要能放在你的床头柜上，就不会断裂。)”可推知，“橡皮筋”的使用旨在说明作者对压力看法的转变。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though my routine remains the same — studying hard and pursuing excellence — my perspective has been forever changed. The fear of failure loses its power. I am still reaching for the moon, but I am no longer afraid, for I know that if I missed, I would land right in my mother’s arms.( 尽管我的生活规律依旧不变——努力学习，追求卓越——但我的观念已经永远改变了。对失败的恐惧失去了它的力量。我仍在追逐梦想，但我不再害怕了，因为我知道如果我失败了，也会正好落在母亲的怀抱里。)”可推知，作者说“追求梦想”的意思是她会继续追求更高的目标。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to help save the UK’s endangered red squirrels (松鼠). The groundbreaking technology, known as Squirrel Agent, has been trained to spot the difference between red and grey squirrels in order to manage feeders meant for red squirrels and ultimately, control populations. The UK’s only native squirrel species, reds have been under threat since the introduction of greys from North America in the late 19th century. Today, greys are thought to number some 2.7 million versus only a few hundred thousand reds. This is largely because greys are bigger, outcompeting reds for food and territory, and carry squirrelpox, a disease deadly to reds. Collectively, these pressures have pushed red squirrels to the edge of extinction. Squirrel Agent, which claims a 97 percent accuracy rate, recognises reds by their size, shape and weight, and features such as tails, faces and ears. Feeders are then remotely opened for reds or, for greys, kept closed, instead opening traps or encouraging them to consume pills aimed at birth control. “It’s a real showcase of what AI can do — it’s working in real time to do a task that we don’t have enough human volunteers for,” says Emma McClenaghan, co-founder of Genysys Engine, which developed the system. Project Red Haven, as the programme is known, is being tested by five wildlife charities, including the Scottish Wildlife Trust and Ulster Wildlife. But this is just the beginning. It’s hoped that the tool’s tech will evolve (逐步发展) sufficiently to not only identify different species, but also individuals. “Whiskers (须) are like human fingerprints,” says McClenaghan. By distinguishing squirrels through their whiskers, AI will build data over time to help conservationists track family lines. 8. What is the function of the second paragraph? A. To give a specific example. B. To tell of red squirrels’ extinction. C. To provide background context. D. To clarify the species of squirrels. 9. How does Squirrel Agent respond to a grey squirrel approaching a feeder? A. It releases birth control medicine first. B. It shuts the feeder and may activate a trap. C. It keeps the grey away from the feeder. D. It sends an alarm to the human volunteers. 10. What do we know about Project Red Haven? A. It has been fully applied by wildlife charities. B. It was created by the Scottish Wildlife Trust. C. It can accurately identify individual animals. D. It is likely to have a more promising future. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. New Tech “Squirrel Agent” Can Target Greys at Feeders B. AI Controls Grey Squirrels by Spreading Squirrelpox C. Wildlife Charities Test New Feeder Designs for Squirrels D. How Grey Squirrels Outcompete Red Squirrels 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了人工智能技术Squirrel Agent被应用于帮助英国拯救濒危红松鼠，通过识别红松鼠和灰松鼠来控制喂食器，进而保护红松鼠的相关信息。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The UK’s only native squirrel species, reds have been under threat since the introduction of greys from North America in the late 19th century. Today, greys are thought to number some 2.7 million versus only a few hundred thousand reds. This is largely because greys are bigger, outcompeting reds for food and territory, and carry squirrelpox, a disease deadly to reds. Collectively, these pressures have pushed red squirrels to the edge of extinction.(红松鼠是英国唯一的本土松鼠物种，自19世纪末从北美引入灰松鼠以来，红松鼠一直受到威胁。如今，灰松鼠的数量约为270万只，而红松鼠仅几十万只。这主要是因为灰松鼠体型更大，在食物和领地上的竞争中胜过红松鼠，并且携带对红松鼠致命的松鼠痘病毒。这些压力共同将红松鼠推向了灭绝的边缘。)”可知，第二段的作用是为下文介绍保护红松鼠的AI技术提供背景信息。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Feeders are then remotely opened for reds or, for greys, kept closed, instead opening traps or encouraging them to consume pills aimed at birth control.(然后喂食器会为红松鼠远程打开，而对于灰松鼠则保持关闭，还会打开陷阱或促使它们服用节育的药丸。)”可知，当灰松鼠靠近喂食器时，喂食器会保持关闭状态，还可能打开陷阱。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“But this is just the beginning. It’s hoped that the tool’s tech will evolve (逐步发展) sufficiently to not only identify different species, but also individuals.(但这只是个开始。人们希望该工具的技术能充分发展，不仅能识别不同物种，还能识别个体。)”可知，Project Red Haven目前仍在测试阶段，人们希望这项技术能进一步发展，它有着更光明的前景。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence (AI) is being applied to help save the UK’s endangered red squirrels (松鼠). The groundbreaking technology, known as Squirrel Agent, has been trained to spot the difference between red and grey squirrels in order to manage feeders meant for red squirrels and ultimately, control populations.(人工智能（AI）正被应用于拯救英国濒危的红松鼠。这项被称为‘松鼠特工’的突破性技术经过训练，能够识别红松鼠和灰松鼠之间的区别，以便管理为红松鼠设置的喂食器，并最终控制数量。)”可知，文章主要介绍了名为Squirrel Agent的AI技术，它能识别红松鼠和灰松鼠，控制喂食器为红松鼠开放、为灰松鼠关闭，以此保护濒危红松鼠。A项“New Tech ‘Squirrel Agent’ Can Target Greys at Feeders(新技术‘松鼠特工’可在喂食器精准锁定灰松鼠)”能准确概括文章核心内容。 D “Red tourism”, a new form of travel where people visit important historical sites and monuments (纪念碑). It has improved the development of the tourism industry in summer. And red tourism becomes more popular during the National Day Golden Week holiday. Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term “red tourism” on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform (平台), increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays. Red tourism is not only about the joy of visiting a new place and enjoying the wonderful sights. It is also about gaining knowledge about history and being inspired by the stories of the people who gave their lives to the founding of the People’s Republic in 1949 and worked for the happiness of the Chinese people. By rediscovering history and passing on the stories of the Chinese revolution (革命) and its heroes to the next generations, people can lift their spirits. Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes (收入) of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it contributes to local economic development. Data show that this year, there are about 2 billion tourists visiting red tourism sites, and its market size nearly reaches 1 trillion. Yet red tourism faces some developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development. 12. What can we know about red tourism? A. It is not popular with the young. B. It has brought life to tourism. C. It is a traditional form of tourism. D. It is about visiting beautiful scenery. 13. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 2? A. To raise concern. B. To prove his idea. C. To explain the story. D. To introduce a platform. 14. What is the advantage of red tourism for rural areas? A. Local people can make more money. B. It can help improve farming equipment. C. It can offer job opportunities to visitors. D. Local people can receive much help from society. 15. What will be mentioned in the following paragraphs? A. More and more people will choose red tourism. B. Many travel companies will benefit from red tourism. C. Some measures should be taken to solve problems. D. More red tourism sites should be open to the public. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是当代旅游业的一种新的旅游形式——红色旅游的基本情况及存在的问题。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“‘Red tourism’, a new form of travel where people visit important historical sites and monuments (纪念碑). It has improved the development of the tourism industry in summer. (‘红色旅游’是一种新的旅游形式，人们可以参观重要的历史遗迹和纪念碑。它促进了夏季旅游业的发展。)”可知，红色旅游给旅游业带来了新的生机。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Ticket bookings for red tourism sites in June increased by five times with local and short trips to red tourism sites being the choice of about 88 percent of such tourists. And the search for the term ‘red tourism’ on Mafengwo, a Chinese travel service and social-networking platform (平台), increased by 300 percent during the summer holidays. ( 6月份，红色旅游景点的门票预订量增长了五倍，其中约88%的游客选择当地和短途前往红色旅游景点。暑假期间，在中国旅游服务和社交网络平台马蜂窝上搜索‘红色旅游’一词的人数增加了300%。)”可知，作者列举数字是为了进一步证明自己在第一段提出的观点——红色旅游给旅游业带来了新的生机。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Red tourism can also be used as an opportunity to develop rural (农村的) areas because most of the red tourism sites are in the countryside. It can raise the incomes (收入) of local people. Since red tourism creates jobs and helps increase farmers’ incomes, it contributes to local economic development. (红色旅游也可以作为发展农村地区的机会，因为大多数红色旅游景点都在农村。它可以提高当地人民的收入。由于红色旅游创造了就业机会，有助于增加农民收入，因此有助于当地经济发展。)”可知，因为大多数革命根据地和红色旅游景点都在农村，所以当地农民可以赚更多的钱。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Yet red tourism faces some developmental problems, mainly because some local government officials have failed to make the best use of red tourism resources for local development. (然而，红色旅游面临一些发展问题，主要是因为一些地方政府官员未能充分利用红色旅游资源促进当地发展。)”可知，虽然红色旅游会促进当地经济的发展，但是因为一些地方政府官员没有充分利用红色旅游资源，导致红色旅游发展存在一些问题，所以接下来要讲的应该是要采取一定的措施来解决这些问题，以促进红色旅游的进一步发展。故选C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。 THE WORLD OF SPEED EATING Competitive eating — or speed eating — is exactly what its name suggests.

To encourage him, his friends bought him a guide dog named Cooper. Benjamin admitted the dog made all the difference. He regained some independence such as walking through the park. Benjamin’s friend, Natalie, was singing in a performance at the local concert hall, which was an excellent opportunity for her. Benjamin hadn’t expected to go, but Natalie wanted him there and mentioned some of their friends would be present too. So he put on his nice suit, grabbed Cooper, and set out. Benjamin reached the hall a bit late. He decided to go to his friends later and sit with his dog in the closest row he could sense. He knew at least two people were sitting in the same row. “Oh! Who brings a dog to the nice concert hall?” Benjamin heard a woman complain. Maybe she didn’t notice his really black glasses and didn’t understand why he needed a dog. “Ada, he’s blind. It’s his service dog,” her husband replied. Natalie took the stage. Although Benjamin couldn’t see her, he knew she looked beautiful. Meanwhile, the woman named Ada continued complaining about Cooper. Benjamin was about to be angry. She had known he was blind. Worst of all, she was interrupting his friend’s concert. Benjamin decided he would leave as soon as Natalie finished her song. However, as the song ended, Natalie began to address the audience. “Thank you, everyone. The next song is for one special friend in particular, Benjamin, “Natalie said, looking in Benjamin’s direction and Benjamin could hear the emotions in her voice.” You sacrificed (牺牲) so much for our country, and you are our hero. I do hope the next song brings you happiness and shows you the wonderful world.” Benjamin felt tears falling from his eyes. Cooper rested its head on his knee, comforting him as Natalie belted out a beautiful song. 注意：1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式作答。 To Benjamin’s shock, the woman kept quiet the entire time. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Ada, with her husband, approached when Benjamin and his friends chatted. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 To Benjamin’s shock, the woman kept quiet the entire time. He decided to stay. After all, his early departure would let Natalie down. With beautiful songs winding in the ears, the concert finished. Benjamin’s friends approached Benjamin, greeting him. Natalie soon came out to greet the group, and they all congratulated her. Everyone was laughing and discussing the great time, and no one made special mention of Benjamin or his disability. It was the rare time he felt a sense of normality in years. He hoped there would be many more. Ada, with her husband, approached when Benjamin and his friends chatted. She wanted to apologize to Benjamin. “I’m sorry. I’m not used to dogs being in places like this,” she said, looking embarrassed. “No worries. Just... don’t judge others before knowing what they’re experiencing,” Benjamin responded quickly before turning his attention back to his friends. Benjamin knew he would face tons of people like Ada in the future. However, he would get through it. After all, his confidence was back, thanks to his dog, and his friends who supported him. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。讲述了退伍后失明的本杰明靠着导盲犬重拾独立，应邀前去聆听好友娜塔莉的演唱会。他携犬入场遭到一位女士当众抱怨，即便知晓其失明依旧心生不满。娜塔莉特意献歌致敬为国奉献的本杰明，令众人动容。事后该女士主动致歉，本杰明也重拾自信，真切体会到了平凡自在的美好。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写本杰明决定留下来听音乐会以及大家都向娜塔莉表示祝贺。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写事后该女士主动致歉，本杰明也重拾自信，真切体会到了平凡自在的美好。 2.续写线索：女士整个过程中都保持沉默→本杰明决定留下来→大家都向娜塔莉表示祝贺→该女士主动致歉→本杰明也重拾自信 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 走近，靠近：approach/draw near ②评判：judge/evaluate 情绪类 ①尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward ②失望的：down /disappointed 【点睛】[高分句型1].
