B You shouldn’t need a PowerPoint presentation to explain why getting a cat is a great idea, but Shana, a little girl, wasn’t taking any chances. She really, really wanted her parents to adopt a kitty, and she was willing to go to great lengths to convince them! So, she put together a very professional and educational slideshow (幻灯片) with all the related facts. Her arguments were pretty solid! For example, Shana explained that she wasn’t the only one in the family who would benefit from getting a kitty. All her brothers and sisters wanted one, too! Another point was her claim that “It would be so cute, please.” Additionally, she reminded her parents that they still owed her one. “Please, seriously you promised me a hamster (仓鼠) five years ago but that never happened, just let me have this,” the child wrote. She also noted that pets can help relieve stress, which was a crucially persuasive point. Throughout the PowerPoint, the little girl made several promises to take full responsibility for the cat’s health and well-being. She assured her parents that she had done her homework on animal care, and she understood what she was signing up for. Dad Christopher Doyle thought that his daughter’s PowerPoint on adopting a cat was pretty clever. In fact, he thought that the little girl’s determination was so cute, he just had to post her presentation on social media. Would this PowerPoint be enough to earn the girl a cat? In case you’re wondering, it worked! Dad shared in a later post that the family was filling out adoption paperwork in order to bring home a kitty. Of course, this was bound to happen. After all, who could refuse such a well-researched PowerPoint? The family ended up adopting a rescue kitty, whom the kids named Oliver. 4. What do the underlined words “go to great lengths” mean in paragraph 1? A. Spare no effort. B. Go to extremes. C. Waste a lot of time. D. Change her mind. 5. Which is the key point used by Shana to persuade her parents? A. She has learned enough about animal care. B. All the family members are dying for a cat. C. Raising pets like cats helps reduce pressure. D. Her parents did owe her one pet in the past. 6. How did Doyle feel about his daughter’s slideshow? A. Awkward. B. Appreciative. C. Surprised. D. Curious. 7. What can we learn from Shana’s story? A. Perseverance changed parents’ minds. B. Creative solutions help to settle problems. C. Parents should keep promises to kids. D. A road to success is full of ups and downs. C Experts have gained deeper insight into why people cannot help dancing to music. New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the “groove experience”, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation (切分节奏), a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation a piece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经学家) Benjamin Morillon of France’s Aix-Marseille university and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz (Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoit Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the university of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the “groove experience” seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying beats, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research. 8. What determines people’s desire to dance to music? A. Standard beats. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate melodies. D. Surprising rhythmic patterns. 9. What did participants do in the experiment? A. Predict next rhythm in songs. B. Analyze music’s beat patterns. C. Measure their desire to move. D. Create new rhythmic melodies. 10. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Advanced. B. Average. C. Extreme. D. Unusual. 11. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. How composers create syncopated music. B. How the brain reacts to basic music beats. C. How to comprehend the music’s underlying meaning. D. How to improve the “groove experience” in the future. D Climate change is causing rising temperatures and extreme weather events. What if there were a way to cool Earth by reflecting the Sun? In 2022, the US company Make Sunsets released two weather balloons above Baja California in Mexico. These balloons, when reaching a certain height, burst open, spreading sulfur dioxide particles (二氧化硫颗粒) across the sky, thus creating a bright mist in the sky that reflects sunlight. A similar weather balloon test flight was launched in the UK. This method belongs to solar geoengineering, a process of bouncing sunlight back into space. Other approaches include installing reflectors on satellites, though these are more technically complex. In a world of rising temperatures, dimming the Sun is an immediate way to cool the planet. Luke Iseman, the founder of Make Sunsets, claims that without solar geoengineering there are no other realistic choices to stay below 2℃, beyond which many effects of climate change will be irreversible (不可逆转). Studies have confirmed its effectiveness: a 2022 Yale study suggested reflecting sunlight could slow sea-level rise and help restore polar ice. Financially, it is also more possible: the estimated annual cost is around $10 billion, far lower than the trillions of dollars required for a full global transition to renewable energy. However, over 380 scientists worldwide have opposed the technology. Some warn that interfering with the weather may disrupt rainfall patterns, triggering droughts in some regions and floods in others. Since its effects are not limited to participating nations, conflicts between countries could arise. Additionally, experts argue that it might encourage polluters to continue burning fossil fuels. There is also concern about long-term maintenance: if solar geoengineering is stopped suddenly, Earth could face a sharp temperature surge, severely harming wildlife. Given its potential benefits and significant risks, solar geoengineering requires cautious evaluation. Governments, scientists, and global organizations should cooperate to conduct thorough research, assess its long-term impacts, and establish strict regulatory frameworks before any large-scale implementation. 12. What is the function of the balloons released by Make Sunsets? A. To absorb sulfur dioxide particles. B. To form a sunlight-reflecting mist. C. To monitor extreme weather changes. D. To help install sunlight reflectors. 13. What’s the advantage of solar geoengineering over renewable energy transition according to the text? A. It is more affordable. B. It is more eco-friendly. C. It is easier to carry out. D. It is more accessible. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4 about solar geoengineering? A. It may reduce the use of oil. B. It may cause damage to satellites. C. It mainly benefits nations involved. D. It may affect rainfall distribution. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to dimming the Sun? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 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。 In February 2017, I was just emerging from a decade-long struggle with a mysterious illness that had gradually narrowed my world. ____16____ That was an online Qi Gong course. To the untrained eye, Qi Gong may seem similar to its better-known cousin, Tai Chi, the ancient art that combines gentle movement with mental focus. ____17____ It’s even integrated into treatment plans in Chinese hospitals. My daily practice that year brought such noticeable improvements that I set myself a reward: if I stuck with it all year, I’d head to Master Anthony’s annual training camp in Costa Rica’s cloud forest the following February.____18____ It was my first journey abroad in over a decade. I booked the trip to San Jose, where I met Master Anthony and a dozen strangers. We boarded a tiny bus and rode up winding mountain roads to “La Montana Azul” for a week-long camp. ____19____ There was no Internet or distractions here, just organic vegetarian meals shared under an open-air shelter. Forest birds sang, and my roofless room even housed a surprisingly large spider, which added a touch of unexpected adventure to the experience. Online practice had given me slight energy movement, but that week, doing moves like Lifting the Sky, I could distinctly feel my body filling with Qi — the vital life force energy. I felt energized and joyful. That was when everything changed for me. At home, I had a successful career as a self-employed writer. ____20____ Soon after I returned, at 53, I launched my travel blog. Dreams do come true. They’re just waiting for you to claim them. A. And I did! B. I long to explore the world. C. The place was perfect for the camp. D. Yet it’s actually energy medicine for recovery. E. Many people turn to Tai Chi for its physical benefits. F. But in the cloud forest, I decided I wanted more from life. G. A key thing finally helped me recover during the previous year. 第三部分 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和D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 At the age of 12, I withdrew into my bedroom with my guitar.

Jake nodded, taking his apple pie out of his lunchbox. Tom noticed a folded piece of paper at the bottom of Jake’s lunchbox. “What’s that?” demanded Ethan, another boy in their class. Before Jake could answer, Ethan grasped the paper. He unfolded it and saw the words: “Dear Jake, I hope you have a great day. Love, Mom.” Ethan read the note in a loud voice, laughing at the note that Jake’s mother had put into the lunchbox. It seemed that he was trying to attract nearby students to glance over. Surprisingly, Ethan read the note in a low voice again, to himself. He ran his fingers across the note, with his eyes resting on the words for a second. It almost looked as if he wanted to keep it. Tom grasped the paper angrily and gave it back to Jake. Ethan insisted no one wanted a note anyway. “I do,” said Jake. Tom liked getting notes too. Hearing this, Ethan burst into anger, suddenly grasping the note from Jake’s hand again. Ethan threw the note and it fell to the floor. Tom picked it up quickly and then handed it back to Jake, who placed it into his pocket right away. When Tom wanted to argue with Ethan, Jake stopped him and whispered that Ethan didn’t live with his mother. Tom’s anger faded at once, and he suddenly connected this to how Ethan had stared at the note earlier. Tom couldn’t stop replaying the strange way Ethan had acted in his mind. Ethan was so mean to Jake, but Tom still thought about how to help Jake and Ethan. He kept turning the problem over in his mind, wondering how to make things right. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face—he had a great idea. 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。 On the bus back home, Tom talked with Jake about what had happened during lunchtime. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next lunchtime, Tom hurried to the cafeteria with some extra handwritten notes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 阜阳三中2024级高二年级下学期期中考试 英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡和试卷指定位置上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束前，你有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题：每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

She really, really wanted her parents to adopt a kitty, and she was willing to go to great lengths to convince them! So, she put together a very professional and educational slideshow (幻灯片) with all the related facts. Her arguments were pretty solid! For example, Shana explained that she wasn’t the only one in the family who would benefit from getting a kitty. All her brothers and sisters wanted one, too! Another point was her claim that “It would be so cute, please.” Additionally, she reminded her parents that they still owed her one. “Please, seriously you promised me a hamster (仓鼠) five years ago but that never happened, just let me have this,” the child wrote. She also noted that pets can help relieve stress, which was a crucially persuasive point. Throughout the PowerPoint, the little girl made several promises to take full responsibility for the cat’s health and well-being. She assured her parents that she had done her homework on animal care, and she understood what she was signing up for. Dad Christopher Doyle thought that his daughter’s PowerPoint on adopting a cat was pretty clever. In fact, he thought that the little girl’s determination was so cute, he just had to post her presentation on social media. Would this PowerPoint be enough to earn the girl a cat? In case you’re wondering, it worked! Dad shared in a later post that the family was filling out adoption paperwork in order to bring home a kitty. Of course, this was bound to happen. After all, who could refuse such a well-researched PowerPoint? The family ended up adopting a rescue kitty, whom the kids named Oliver. 4. What do the underlined words “go to great lengths” mean in paragraph 1? A. Spare no effort. B. Go to extremes. C. Waste a lot of time. D. Change her mind. 5. Which is the key point used by Shana to persuade her parents? A. She has learned enough about animal care. B. All the family members are dying for a cat. C. Raising pets like cats helps reduce pressure. D. Her parents did owe her one pet in the past. 6. How did Doyle feel about his daughter’s slideshow? A. Awkward. B. Appreciative. C. Surprised. D. Curious. 7. What can we learn from Shana’s story? A. Perseverance changed parents’ minds. B. Creative solutions help to settle problems. C. Parents should keep promises to kids. D. A road to success is full of ups and downs. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。讲述了小女孩莎娜为说服父母收养猫咪，精心制作了专业的PPT幻灯片，列出多项理由并做出承诺，最终成功打动父母、领养了一只救援猫的故事。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“She really, really wanted her parents to adopt a kitty, and she was willing to go to great lengths to convince them!

New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the “groove experience”, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation (切分节奏), a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is. Syncopations are rhythmic patterns in which accented or unaccented beats in a melody (旋律) appear in surprising places relative to the standard beat. The more syncopation a piece of music contains, the less accurately you can guess the rhythm of the next few bars as you listen. In a series of experiments with more than 60 participants, cognitive neuroscientist (认知神经学家) Benjamin Morillon of France’s Aix-Marseille university and his team examined how syncopation relates to the groove experience. In one test, they played 12 different melodies. The main beat was always two hertz (Hz), or roughly two events per second. But the melody’s rhythmic shifts varied so that each tune was played with three different degrees of syncopation. Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track. As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result. In other words, people didn’t particularly want to dance to an entirely predictable rhythm or a highly surprising one. “The work reveals why we cannot resist moving in line with the beat when we listen to music with an optimal level of syncopation,” says Benoit Bardy, a movement-science researcher at the university of Montpellier in France. Bardy, who was not involved in the new study, describes it as “a very innovative piece of science”. In addition, the “groove experience” seems to be all about finding the music’s underlying beats, the study shows. When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research. 8. What determines people’s desire to dance to music? A. Standard beats. B. Imagined dance steps. C. Accurate melodies. D. Surprising rhythmic patterns. 9. What did participants do in the experiment? A. Predict next rhythm in songs. B. Analyze music’s beat patterns. C. Measure their desire to move. D. Create new rhythmic melodies. 10. What does the underlined word “optimal” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Advanced. B. Average. C. Extreme. D. Unusual. 11. What will the follow-up study focus on? A. How composers create syncopated music. B. How the brain reacts to basic music beats. C. How to comprehend the music’s underlying meaning. D. How to improve the “groove experience” in the future. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于人们会情不自禁跟着音乐跳舞的原因的新研究，探讨了音乐相关节奏特点与人的舞动欲望之间的关联。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“New research suggests the urge to dance to the beat, what some scientists call the ‘groove experience’, depends on the music’s degree of syncopation (切分节奏), a feature that affects how predictable the rhythm is.(新研究表明，跟着节拍跳舞的冲动——一些科学家称之为“律动体验”——取决于音乐的切分节奏程度，这是一种影响节奏可预测性的特征。)”可知，跟着音乐跳舞的欲望由切分节奏决定，也就是令人意外的节奏模式。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Participants then rated how much they wanted to dance to each track.(随后参与者对自己跟着每一首曲子跳舞的欲望程度进行评分。)”可知，实验中参与者评估了自己跟着音乐舞动的欲望。故选C。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“As Morillon and his colleagues reported in Science Advances, a medium degree of syncopation caused a strong desire to move to music. In contrast, neither very high nor low degrees of syncopation had that same result.(正如莫里昂及其同事在《科学进展》上发表的研究所示，中等程度的切分节奏会让人产生强烈的随音乐舞动的欲望。相比之下，切分音程度过高或过低都没有同样的效果。)”可知，人们喜欢跟着切分音始终的音乐舞动，由此猜测optimal在这里表示“适中的”，与Average含义相近。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“When a group of participants had to tap their fingers to imagined dance steps, they did so almost exclusively to the basic 2-Hz beat, not to the melody’s rhythm, which represents a primary area of interest for forthcoming research.(当一组参与者跟着想象的舞步用手指敲击时，他们几乎只跟着基础的2赫兹节拍敲击，而非旋律的节奏，这是后续研究的核心关注点。)”可知，后续研究将关注大脑对基本音乐节拍的反应。故选B。 D Climate change is causing rising temperatures and extreme weather events. What if there were a way to cool Earth by reflecting the Sun? In 2022, the US company Make Sunsets released two weather balloons above Baja California in Mexico. These balloons, when reaching a certain height, burst open, spreading sulfur dioxide particles (二氧化硫颗粒) across the sky, thus creating a bright mist in the sky that reflects sunlight. A similar weather balloon test flight was launched in the UK. This method belongs to solar geoengineering, a process of bouncing sunlight back into space. Other approaches include installing reflectors on satellites, though these are more technically complex. In a world of rising temperatures, dimming the Sun is an immediate way to cool the planet. Luke Iseman, the founder of Make Sunsets, claims that without solar geoengineering there are no other realistic choices to stay below 2℃, beyond which many effects of climate change will be irreversible (不可逆转). Studies have confirmed its effectiveness: a 2022 Yale study suggested reflecting sunlight could slow sea-level rise and help restore polar ice. Financially, it is also more possible: the estimated annual cost is around $10 billion, far lower than the trillions of dollars required for a full global transition to renewable energy. However, over 380 scientists worldwide have opposed the technology. Some warn that interfering with the weather may disrupt rainfall patterns, triggering droughts in some regions and floods in others. Since its effects are not limited to participating nations, conflicts between countries could arise. Additionally, experts argue that it might encourage polluters to continue burning fossil fuels. There is also concern about long-term maintenance: if solar geoengineering is stopped suddenly, Earth could face a sharp temperature surge, severely harming wildlife. Given its potential benefits and significant risks, solar geoengineering requires cautious evaluation. Governments, scientists, and global organizations should cooperate to conduct thorough research, assess its long-term impacts, and establish strict regulatory frameworks before any large-scale implementation. 12. What is the function of the balloons released by Make Sunsets? A. To absorb sulfur dioxide particles. B. To form a sunlight-reflecting mist. C. To monitor extreme weather changes. D. To help install sunlight reflectors. 13. What’s the advantage of solar geoengineering over renewable energy transition according to the text? A. It is more affordable. B. It is more eco-friendly. C. It is easier to carry out. D. It is more accessible. 14. What can we infer from paragraph 4 about solar geoengineering? A. It may reduce the use of oil. B. It may cause damage to satellites. C. It mainly benefits nations involved. D. It may affect rainfall distribution. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to dimming the Sun? A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Objective. D. Doubtful. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了通过太阳地球工程来应对气候变化的可能性，分析了其潜在优势和巨大风险，并指出在实施前需进行全面研究和严格监管。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“These balloons, when reaching a certain height, burst open, spreading sulfur dioxide particles (二氧化硫颗粒) across the sky, thus creating a bright mist in the sky that reflects sunlight. (这些气球在到达一定高度时会爆开，将二氧化硫颗粒散布到天空中，从而在天空中形成一层能够反射阳光的明亮薄雾)”可知，这些气球的功能是形成能反射阳光的薄雾。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Financially, it is also more possible: the estimated annual cost is around $10 billion, far lower than the trillions of dollars required for a full global transition to renewable energy. (从财务上看，它也更可行：估计每年成本约为100亿美元，远低于全球完全向可再生能源转型所需的数万亿美元)”可知，与向可再生能源转型相比，太阳地球工程的优势在于其成本更低，即更经济。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Some warn that interfering with the weather may disrupt rainfall patterns, triggering droughts in some regions and floods in others. (一些人警告说，干预天气可能会扰乱降雨模式，在一些地区引发干旱，在另一些地区引发洪水)”可以推断，太阳地球工程可能会影响全球的降雨分布。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，作者在文章前半部分(第二、三段)客观陈述了太阳地球工程的技术原理、支持者的观点及其潜在优势(快速降温、成本低)。在文章后半部分(第四段)，作者又客观列举了全球科学家的反对意见及其存在的巨大风险(扰乱气候、引发冲突等)。最后一段作者总结道“Given its potential benefits and significant risks, solar geoengineering requires cautious evaluation. (鉴于其潜在的好处和重大风险，太阳地球工程需要谨慎评估)”，并建议进行深入研究、评估和建立监管框架。全文没有表现出明显的个人支持或反对倾向，而是平衡地呈现了问题的两面性，并提出了审慎的建议。因此，作者的态度是客观的。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。 In February 2017, I was just emerging from a decade-long struggle with a mysterious illness that had gradually narrowed my world. ____16____ That was an online Qi Gong course.

Jake nodded, taking his apple pie out of his lunchbox. Tom noticed a folded piece of paper at the bottom of Jake’s lunchbox. “What’s that?” demanded Ethan, another boy in their class. Before Jake could answer, Ethan grasped the paper. He unfolded it and saw the words: “Dear Jake, I hope you have a great day. Love, Mom.” Ethan read the note in a loud voice, laughing at the note that Jake’s mother had put into the lunchbox. It seemed that he was trying to attract nearby students to glance over. Surprisingly, Ethan read the note in a low voice again, to himself. He ran his fingers across the note, with his eyes resting on the words for a second. It almost looked as if he wanted to keep it. Tom grasped the paper angrily and gave it back to Jake. Ethan insisted no one wanted a note anyway. “I do,” said Jake. Tom liked getting notes too. Hearing this, Ethan burst into anger, suddenly grasping the note from Jake’s hand again. Ethan threw the note and it fell to the floor. Tom picked it up quickly and then handed it back to Jake, who placed it into his pocket right away. When Tom wanted to argue with Ethan, Jake stopped him and whispered that Ethan didn’t live with his mother. Tom’s anger faded at once, and he suddenly connected this to how Ethan had stared at the note earlier. Tom couldn’t stop replaying the strange way Ethan had acted in his mind. Ethan was so mean to Jake, but Tom still thought about how to help Jake and Ethan. He kept turning the problem over in his mind, wondering how to make things right. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a smile spread across his face—he had a great idea. 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。 On the bus back home, Tom talked with Jake about what had happened during lunchtime. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next lunchtime, Tom hurried to the cafeteria with some extra handwritten notes. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 On the bus back home, Tom talked with Jake about what had happened during lunchtime. “Ethan was so mean to you. Why?” Tom shook his head and dropped his voice to a whisper. Knowing Ethan never got notes, Tom felt sorry for Ethan’s experience. Then he leaned closer to Jake, his voice soft with hope, sharing his idea — giving everyone a lunch note, even Ethan. Hearing this, Jake’s face brightened, and he nodded, saying, “Yeah, I think it could really help, especially with Ethan — it might make him feel like he belongs. All night long, they worked on the plan, folding paper, writing warm messages, and taking extra care with the note for Ethan. The next lunchtime, Tom hurried to the cafeteria with some extra handwritten notes. He set 23 named notes on the first table. Each piece of paper had the name of a classmate on it. Delightedly, Tom watched as Ethan picked up the note with his name on it. Ethan unfolded the note, his hands shaking slightly. A rare smile appeared on Ethan’s face as he read the simple, kind words. He didn’t expect it. And for a moment, he felt like someone cared. Jake nodded at Tom in approval and gave him a thumbs-up. At the same time, Ethan came up to them with his tuna salad and joined them. It was a sweet reminder that little gestures could light up a whole lunch. 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕一张午餐便签展开，讲述了Tom的同学Jake收到妈妈的暖心便签却被Ethan嘲笑，而Tom发现Ethan的刻薄源于他从未得到过母爱。Tom和Jake决定用手写便签的方式温暖同学，最终让Ethan感受到被关心的故事。 【详解】 1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“在回家的公交车上，汤姆和杰克聊起了午饭时发生的事。”可知，第一段可描写Tom和Jake分析Ethan行为背后的原因，共情他的处境，并共同制定用手写便签温暖全班的计划。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天午饭时，汤姆带着几张额外的手写便签，匆匆赶到了食堂。”可知，第二段可描写Tom和Jake分发便签的场景，重点刻画Ethan收到便签后的反应，以及他最终主动融入集体的温暖结局。 2. 续写线索：发现真相—— 共情理解—— 制定计划—— 手写便签—— 分发传递—— 温暖回应—— 化解矛盾 3.词汇激活 行为类 ① 打开：unfold/ spread out ② 忙于：work on/ engage in ③ 走近：come up/ approach 情绪类 ① 遗憾的：sorry/ regretful ② 高兴地：delightedly/ joyfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】Knowing Ethan never got notes, Tom felt sorry for Ethan’s experience.(运用了现在分词短语Knowing Ethan never got notes作原因状语) 【高分句型2】A rare smile appeared on Ethan’s face as he read the simple, kind words.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
