Opportunities at rescue centers or reserves involve caring for injured wildlife, monitoring species for research, and anti-poaching (反偷猎) efforts. Join us and you can make a difference and help preserve biodiversity! ● Best Places to Volunteer Africa If you want to experience African wildlife from up close, look at South Africa, Kenya, or Namibia for volunteer projects. Not only do they offer a great amount of wildlife on land, but some of them are also home to many sea creatures.The best examples are South Africa, Tanzania, or Mozambique. Latin America If you are interested in volunteering with primates (灵长类动物) in their jungle habitats, look no further than Central and South America. Peru, Brazil and Ecuador all share parts of the Amazon rainforest. Costa Rica has its fair share of jungles too and is also the nesting site (筑巢地) for four of the seven sea turtle species, making it a great destination for wildlife conservation volunteers. ● Who Can Volunteer? As long as you are willing to learn and treat the wild creatures with the necessary respect and caution, you are more than welcome to volunteer.It doesn't matter if you have any related working experience before. You need to speak at least basic English, the main language spoken at most projects. Some projects in Latin America will ask you to speak basic Spanish. Besides, volunteer projects working with wild and more dangerous animals accept volunteers aged 18 but there is no age limit upwards — as long as you are physically fit and ready for a challenge, you are the perfect candidate to volunteer. However, there are also a lot of animal reserves that work with less dangerous species accepting volunteers under 18 years old. 1. What is the aim of wildlife conservation volunteering? A. To stop endangered wildlife from dying out. B. To restore various wildlife habitats worldwide. C. To conduct scientific research on injured wildlife. D. To change biodiversity in volunteering destinations. 2. Which is the ideal place to volunteer with animals both on land and in the sea? A. Peru. B. Kenya. C. Ecuador D. South Africa. 3. Which of the following is a requirement for all volunteers? A. The adult age requirement. B. Good physical condition. C. Relevant working experience. D. Basic Spanish language skills. B Diving isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species, but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art. One diver Gary Grayson from Worsley had a rather shocking experience with two seals that were swimming around him. During one of his dives off the coasts of the Isles of Scilly, England, Grayson got lucky and found two young seals. One of the seals approached him first and started playing with him by touching his hand. The diver remained still, hoping it would leave him alone, while the seal went on with its actions. The marine creature kept exploring Grayson, who had no idea why the seal wouldn't leave him alone. It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson's arms slightly because it wanted a scratch (挠) from the diver, and Grayson instantly understood. As he gently scratched the animal, it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. The diver was excited about this heartwarming interaction with the seal. “I was absolutely loving it,” the 55-year-old experienced diver said. “We were told just to keep still but the more still we were, the more curious this seal was because we were in their world,”the diver explained. After the first seal was done playing with him, the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs. Being an adventure lover, Grayson always loved living life on the edge. But the time he had with those two seals underwater was something extraordinary for him. The video shot by Gary from more than a decade ago gained online popularity. While the Internet often considers seals as the “dogs of the sea”, their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true. 4. Why did Grayson stop moving after seeing the seals? A. He planned to observe them quietly. B. He wanted to conduct research. C. He wasn't able to escape from them. D. He wanted to wait for them to leave. 5. What can we know about the seals Gary met? A. Their teeth were not very sharp. B. Their health was failing rapidly. C. They enjoyed interacting with humans. D. They were frightened to see Grayson. 6. What view does Grayson's video support? A. Adventure can bring great rewards. B. Adventure adds fun to the ordinary life. C. Seals are as gentle and friendly as dogs. D. Seals aren't what they're thought to be. 7. Where might the text be taken from? A. A scientific magazine. B. An adventure magazine. C. A biology textbook. D. A bedtime storybook. C In the depths of Abernethy Forest, researcher and conservationist Jack Bamber has just placed deer meat in the hope of attracting every nearby predator (捕食者). It may sound weird, but it’s all part of a plan to catch the attention of predators who might otherwise be interested in lunching on a capercallie (松鸡) chick and it’s quite normal. Capercaillies are large, secretive birds known for their striking fan tails. However, in Scotland, their population is critically low, with only about 500 left during 2021 — 2022. Bamber’s method, known as diversionary feeding, involves leaving meat near capercaillie habitats during the breeding (繁殖) season. The goal is to provide predators like pine martens and badgers — both protected species — with an easier meal, reducing the chances of them attacking capercaillie nests. This approach helps protect capercaillies without harming predators. Initial trials have been promising, showing an 83% reduction in nest predation in areas where meat was provided. However, this is just one of many strategies needed to save the species. Other efforts include educating the public to avoid disturbing the birds, particularly in places like the Cairngorms National Park, where dogs and hikers can unintentionally stress the birds or disturb their habitats. Carolyn Robertson, manager of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project, works to minimize human disturbances. He said, “Dogs, even on leads, can cause capercallies to feel threatened. Public awareness campaigns have helped local dog owners understand the importance of keeping their pets under control. Additionally, initiatives like the ‘Lek it be’ campaign urge people to leave the birds undisturbed during the breeding season.” The species faces multiple threats, including habitat loss, conflicts with deer fences, and the impact of climate change, which affect food availability and chick survival. Despite the challenges, efforts continue with hope that the species can recover. These conservation (保护) actions not only aim to save the capercaillie but also benefit other wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole. 8. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Strange. B. Pleasant. C. Disappointing. D. Costly. 9. What is the effect of initial trials to protect capercaillies? A. It is unclear. B. It is ill-advised. C. It is effective. D. It is short-lived. 10. What can we infer about these conservation actions from Robertson’s words? A. They involve multi-party efforts. B. They bring about additional costs. C. They rely on researchers’ work. D. They discourage local dog owners. 11. What does the author intend to explain in the last paragraph? A. The hardships the locals suffered. B. The problems researchers faced. C. The background of the new policy. D. The significance of these conservation actions. D Conventional wisdom holds that people are easily affected by first impressions, and there's solid scientific evidence that initial judgements and impressions are hard to shake—even when they turn out to be inaccurate. But according to the new study, "sleeping on it "can help us avoid judging a book only by its cover. In a series of online experiments, researchers asked participants to evaluate virtual boxes of goods to determine which were most valuable. Each box contained mostly low-value items like old alarm clocks or potted plants, with a few valuable ones such as nice lamps or teddy bears. Unbeknown to the participants, however, the combined total value of the 20 items in each box was the same, and only the arrangement of "junk" and “gems (宝石)” differed. Some boxes had valuable items on top; some in the middle or at the bottom; and some had them mixed. After the participants had opened the different boxes, the researchers asked them to estimate the value of each one. Some participants judged the boxes immediately, but others “slept on it” and decided after an overnight delay. “By comparing, we found that people are strongly biased (有偏见的) by first impressions,” says lead author Allie Sinclair. “Not only did the participants consistently go for the boxes that “started strong” over the others, they also tended to overestimate their value — guessing they were worth 10% more money than they actually were. However, participants who weren't asked to decide until the next day were less likely to fall into these traps.” Judging from first impressions can be beneficial for immediate choices. For instance, when watching a movie's opening scene or skimming a book's first pages, quick judgements can save time. But for long-term decisions or significant life choices like hiring or dating, Sinclair said there wisdom in the idea of “sleeping on it” before making a decision. 12. What can we learn about first impressions based on conventional wisdom? A. They are rarely accurate. B. They influence final decisions. C. They can be easily changed. D. They motivate careful reflection. 13. How did researchers carry out their study? A. By giving examples and analyzing data. B. By interviewing participants and explaining causes. C. By doing experiments and making comparisons. D. By making classification and referring to former studies. 14. What does Sinclair suggest about significant life choices? A. Avoiding overthinking. B. Judging from first impressions. C. Making choices quickly and without hesitation. D. Spending time taking multiple factors into consideration. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Sleep Improves Memory for Details. B. Overnight Delay Reduces First Impression Bias. C. First Impressions Dominate Decision-making. D. Long-time Analysis Is More Important than Feelings. 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。 Many people have such a friend — one who understands and empathizes with them; one who always knows what to say when they are upset; one who they feel comfortable unburdening themselves to. Chances are that the friend has a high emotional quotient (EQ). So what is an EQ? ____16____ EQ is also called “emotional intelligence”, which has both interpersonal and intrapersonal aspects. On the interpersonal side, emotionally intelligent people can identify others’ feelings. ____17____ On an intrapersonal level, they can understand their own strengths and weaknesses.

Additionally, those with high EQs are better at adapting to life’s chances and can handle stressful situations with more grace. ____19____ First, an analysis of studies demonstrates that creative and self-confident innovators may be more individualistic and therefore have a lower EQ. On the other hand, it’s possible to improve emotional intelligence. Reflect on your reactions during challenging moments and adopt constructive suggestions without becoming upset at criticism. In conclusion, emotional intelligence is a valuable skill that can enhance every aspect of life. By developing one’s ability to understand and manage emotions, a person can face challenges flexibly. ____20____ You will likely see great improvements in yourself. A. Also they understand the source of those feelings. B. One is that they can make good connections with others. C. You should learn to react to your strong feelings correctly. D.

Mr Johnson, my fifth grade teacher, confirmed it and explained that science class could be canceled as a consequence of the fire. He also warned us not to go near the room because it could be dangerous. During the morning break, out of curiosity, Kim and I decided to check out the damage. We safely reached the science room, then we stood on tiptoes, looking hard through the door window. We were trying to see what it was like inside when suddenly a firm hold on our shoulders stopped us. "Where do you belong? Certainly not here!" I turned around to find a teacher staring angrily at us, shouting as if to eat us. In those frozen seconds, millions of thoughts flashed through my mind. My father would blame me for not obeying teachers. Worse than that, my mother might be so mad that she might not stop him. My spirits sank even lower when I thought how angry Mr Johnson would be. Soon that teacher led Kim and me back to the classroom, leaving us trembling before Mr Johnson. But to our surprise, there was no blaming and no anger from Mr Johnson. Instead, he bent slowly to look me in the eye. I was met with a look of concern rather than anger. He spoke softly and carefully as he explained the reason why he was disappointed at my decision to go where I might have got hurt. Tears ran down my eyes. The thought of disappointing Mr Johnson shamed me while I felt a gentle touch of Mr Johnson's hand on my shoulder. I looked up and he smiled. I could see that he cared more about my safety than the fact that I'd broken a rule. That was completely beyond our expectation. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At the moment, no words could describe how regretful I was. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a short while, Mr Johnson gently touched each of our heads. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 西宁二中教育集团2025-2026学年第二学期 高二年级英语学科期中考试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150） 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了来自沃斯利的潜水员加里・格雷森在英国锡利群岛海岸潜水时，与两只海豹发生的一次暖心互动的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The diver remained still, hoping it would leave him alone, while the seal went on with its actions.(潜水员一动不动，希望海豹能离他远点，而海豹继续着它的动作)”可知，格雷森看到海豹后停止移动是因为他想等海豹离开。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It turned out that the animal had something adorable in mind and dragged at Grayson's arms slightly because it wanted a scratch (挠) from the diver, and Grayson instantly understood. As he gently scratched the animal, it seemed to enjoy it and wanted more. The diver was excited about this heartwarming interaction with the seal.(结果发现这只动物心里有可爱的想法，它轻轻地拉着格雷森的胳膊，因为它想让潜水员挠挠它，格雷森立刻明白了。当他轻轻地挠这只动物时，它似乎很享受，还想要更多。潜水员对与海豹的这种暖心互动感到很兴奋)”以及第四段“After the first seal was done playing with him, the second seal that was swimming around the diver started to take an interest in his legs.(第一只海豹和他玩完后，在潜水员周围游动的第二只海豹开始对他的腿产生了兴趣)”可推知，格雷森遇到的海豹喜欢与人类互动。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The video shot by Gary from more than a decade ago gained online popularity. While the Internet often considers seals as the "dogs of the sea", their behavior in this video shows how that comparison might be true.(加里十多年前拍摄的这段视频在网上受到了欢迎。虽然互联网上常把海豹称为“海洋之犬”，但这段视频中的海豹行为表明这种比较可能是正确的)”可知，格雷森的视频支持海豹像狗一样温和友好的观点。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Diving isn't just about swimming alongside various marine species, but the adventure also involves appreciating nature as a work of art.(潜水不仅仅是与各种海洋生物一起游泳，这种冒险还包括将自然视为一件艺术品来欣赏)”以及最后一段 “Being an adventure lover, Grayson always loved living life on the edge.(作为一个冒险爱好者，格雷森总是喜欢过刺激的生活)”可推知，文章最有可能来自一本冒险杂志。故选B。 C In the depths of Abernethy Forest, researcher and conservationist Jack Bamber has just placed deer meat in the hope of attracting every nearby predator (捕食者). It may sound weird, but it’s all part of a plan to catch the attention of predators who might otherwise be interested in lunching on a capercallie (松鸡) chick and it’s quite normal. Capercaillies are large, secretive birds known for their striking fan tails. However, in Scotland, their population is critically low, with only about 500 left during 2021 — 2022. Bamber’s method, known as diversionary feeding, involves leaving meat near capercaillie habitats during the breeding (繁殖) season. The goal is to provide predators like pine martens and badgers — both protected species — with an easier meal, reducing the chances of them attacking capercaillie nests. This approach helps protect capercaillies without harming predators. Initial trials have been promising, showing an 83% reduction in nest predation in areas where meat was provided. However, this is just one of many strategies needed to save the species. Other efforts include educating the public to avoid disturbing the birds, particularly in places like the Cairngorms National Park, where dogs and hikers can unintentionally stress the birds or disturb their habitats. Carolyn Robertson, manager of the Cairngorms Capercaillie Project, works to minimize human disturbances. He said, “Dogs, even on leads, can cause capercallies to feel threatened. Public awareness campaigns have helped local dog owners understand the importance of keeping their pets under control. Additionally, initiatives like the ‘Lek it be’ campaign urge people to leave the birds undisturbed during the breeding season.” The species faces multiple threats, including habitat loss, conflicts with deer fences, and the impact of climate change, which affect food availability and chick survival. Despite the challenges, efforts continue with hope that the species can recover. These conservation (保护) actions not only aim to save the capercaillie but also benefit other wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole. 8. What does the underlined word “weird” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Strange. B. Pleasant. C. Disappointing. D. Costly. 9. What is the effect of initial trials to protect capercaillies? A. It is unclear. B. It is ill-advised. C. It is effective. D. It is short-lived. 10. What can we infer about these conservation actions from Robertson’s words? A. They involve multi-party efforts. B. They bring about additional costs. C. They rely on researchers’ work. D. They discourage local dog owners. 11. What does the author intend to explain in the last paragraph? A. The hardships the locals suffered. B. The problems researchers faced. C. The background of the new policy. D. The significance of these conservation actions. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了苏格兰松鸡濒危现状及保护措施，包括“转移喂食法”减少捕食、公众教育降低人为干扰等，并强调这些行动对生态系统的整体意义。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“In the depths of Abernethy Forest, researcher and conservationist Jack Bamber has just placed deer meat in the hope of attracting every nearby predator (捕食者). (在阿伯内西森林的深处，研究人员兼环保主义者Jack Bamber刚刚放置了鹿肉，希望能吸引附近的捕食者)”和下文“but it’s all part of a plan to catch the attention of predators who might otherwise be interested in lunching on a capercallie (松鸡) chick (但这一切都是为了吸引捕食者的注意，否则这些捕食者可能会对松鸡雏鸟感兴趣)”可知，此处特地解释了研究人员用鹿肉吸引捕食者的做法是合理的，这是为了保护松鸡雏鸟，且前后有转折，由此可知，这一合理做法开始可能听起来“奇怪”，画线词意为“奇怪的”，与Strange意思相近。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Initial trials have been promising, showing an 83% reduction in nest predation in areas where meat was provided. (最初的试验很有希望，在提供肉类的地区，巢穴捕食减少了83%)”可知，初步试验有效保护了松鸡。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中Carolyn Robertson所说的话“Dogs, even on leads, can cause capercallies to feel threatened. Public awareness campaigns have helped local dog owners understand the importance of keeping their pets under control. Additionally, initiatives like the ‘Lek it be’ campaign urge people to leave the birds undisturbed during the breeding season. (即使是拴着绳的狗，也会让松鸡感到威胁。公众宣传活动帮助当地养狗人士认识到管好宠物的重要性。此外，“别打扰它们”等倡议活动呼吁人们在松鸡繁殖季节不要惊扰这些鸟类)”可知，Robertson提到公众宣传和“别打扰它们”倡议活动等多个保护松鸡的做法，表明保护行动需要多方参与。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Despite the challenges, efforts continue with hope that the species can recover. These conservation (保护) actions not only aim to save the capercaillie but also benefit other wildlife and the ecosystem as a whole. (尽管面临诸多挑战，保护工作仍在继续，人们希望这一物种能够恢复。这些保护行动不仅旨在拯救松鸡，还将惠及其他野生动物乃至整个生态系统)”可知，保护行动不仅旨在拯救该物种，还惠及其他野生动物和生态系统，因此作者是在强调保护行动的广泛意义。故选D项。 D Conventional wisdom holds that people are easily affected by first impressions, and there's solid scientific evidence that initial judgements and impressions are hard to shake—even when they turn out to be inaccurate. But according to the new study, "sleeping on it "can help us avoid judging a book only by its cover. In a series of online experiments, researchers asked participants to evaluate virtual boxes of goods to determine which were most valuable. Each box contained mostly low-value items like old alarm clocks or potted plants, with a few valuable ones such as nice lamps or teddy bears. Unbeknown to the participants, however, the combined total value of the 20 items in each box was the same, and only the arrangement of "junk" and “gems (宝石)” differed. Some boxes had valuable items on top; some in the middle or at the bottom; and some had them mixed. After the participants had opened the different boxes, the researchers asked them to estimate the value of each one. Some participants judged the boxes immediately, but others “slept on it” and decided after an overnight delay. “By comparing, we found that people are strongly biased (有偏见的) by first impressions,” says lead author Allie Sinclair. “Not only did the participants consistently go for the boxes that “started strong” over the others, they also tended to overestimate their value — guessing they were worth 10% more money than they actually were. However, participants who weren't asked to decide until the next day were less likely to fall into these traps.” Judging from first impressions can be beneficial for immediate choices. For instance, when watching a movie's opening scene or skimming a book's first pages, quick judgements can save time. But for long-term decisions or significant life choices like hiring or dating, Sinclair said there wisdom in the idea of “sleeping on it” before making a decision. 12. What can we learn about first impressions based on conventional wisdom? A. They are rarely accurate. B. They influence final decisions. C. They can be easily changed. D. They motivate careful reflection. 13. How did researchers carry out their study? A. By giving examples and analyzing data. B. By interviewing participants and explaining causes. C. By doing experiments and making comparisons. D. By making classification and referring to former studies. 14. What does Sinclair suggest about significant life choices? A. Avoiding overthinking. B. Judging from first impressions. C. Making choices quickly and without hesitation. D. Spending time taking multiple factors into consideration. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Sleep Improves Memory for Details. B. Overnight Delay Reduces First Impression Bias. C. First Impressions Dominate Decision-making. D. Long-time Analysis Is More Important than Feelings. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项新研究。传统观点认为人们易受第一印象影响且难以改变，而新研究表明，“先搁置一晚再做决定” 能够帮助人们避免仅凭第一印象做出判断，文章通过实验论证了该观点，并说明了不同决策场景下第一印象的作用及 “搁置一晚” 的重要性。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Conventional wisdom holds that people are easily affected by first impressions, and there's solid scientific evidence that initial judgements and impressions are hard to shake — even when they turn out to be inaccurate.(传统观点认为，人们很容易受到第一印象的影响，并且有确凿的科学证据表明，最初的判断和印象很难动摇 —— 即使它们最终被证明是不准确的)”可知，第一印象会对人们产生影响，进而影响最终的决定。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“In a series of online experiments, researchers asked participants to evaluate virtual boxes of goods to determine which were most valuable.(在一系列在线实验中，研究人员要求参与者评估虚拟商品盒，以确定哪些最有价值)”以及第四段 “By comparing, we found that people are strongly biased (有偏见的) by first impressions(通过比较，我们发现人们深受第一印象的影响)”可知，研究人员通过进行实验和对比的方式开展研究。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“But for long-term decisions or significant life choices like hiring or dating, Sinclair said there wisdom in the idea of “sleeping on it”before making a decision.(但对于长期决策或诸如招聘、约会等重要的人生选择，辛克莱表示，在做决定前 “先搁置一晚再做决定” 是明智之举)”可知，辛克莱建议对于重要的人生选择，应该花时间综合考虑多种因素后再做决定。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍了一项新研究。传统观点认为人们易受第一印象影响且难以改变，而新研究表明，“先搁置一晚再做决定” 能够帮助人们避免仅凭第一印象做出判断，文章通过实验论证了该观点，并说明了不同决策场景下第一印象的作用及 “搁置一晚” 的重要性。所以短文的标题为“隔夜延迟减少第一印象偏见”。故选B。 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。 Many people have such a friend — one who understands and empathizes with them; one who always knows what to say when they are upset; one who they feel comfortable unburdening themselves to.

Mr Johnson, my fifth grade teacher, confirmed it and explained that science class could be canceled as a consequence of the fire. He also warned us not to go near the room because it could be dangerous. During the morning break, out of curiosity, Kim and I decided to check out the damage. We safely reached the science room, then we stood on tiptoes, looking hard through the door window. We were trying to see what it was like inside when suddenly a firm hold on our shoulders stopped us. "Where do you belong? Certainly not here!" I turned around to find a teacher staring angrily at us, shouting as if to eat us. In those frozen seconds, millions of thoughts flashed through my mind. My father would blame me for not obeying teachers. Worse than that, my mother might be so mad that she might not stop him. My spirits sank even lower when I thought how angry Mr Johnson would be. Soon that teacher led Kim and me back to the classroom, leaving us trembling before Mr Johnson. But to our surprise, there was no blaming and no anger from Mr Johnson. Instead, he bent slowly to look me in the eye. I was met with a look of concern rather than anger. He spoke softly and carefully as he explained the reason why he was disappointed at my decision to go where I might have got hurt. Tears ran down my eyes. The thought of disappointing Mr Johnson shamed me while I felt a gentle touch of Mr Johnson's hand on my shoulder. I looked up and he smiled. I could see that he cared more about my safety than the fact that I'd broken a rule. That was completely beyond our expectation. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 At the moment, no words could describe how regretful I was. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After a short while, Mr Johnson gently touched each of our heads. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 At the moment, no words could describe how regretful I was. Thinking of his sunny and radiant smile, I really wanted to slap myself in the face heavily. I shouldn’t have ignored his warning. I shouldn’t have let him worry about me. I shouldn’t have let him down. “Sorry, Mr Johnson, it was our fault.” Kim took the lead in admitting our mistake. Quickly, I came out of my reverie, and added that we were willing to do anything to make up for it. Full of guilt, we awaited his response. After a short while, Mr Johnson gently touched each of our heads. Soft eyes falling down our faces, he comforted, “No punishment. But you must remember: Never put yourselves into danger again.” Also he said nothing was more important than safety, and that now nothing could beat seeing us standing here, safe and sound. Hearing that, I felt a stream of warmth flowing into every cell of my body. I swore with determination that I would carve his words into my heart. It was the first time that I felt the power of forgiveness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和同学Kim在课间出于好奇去查看发生火灾的科学教室，结果被老师发现并带回班级，本以为会受到严厉批评，但班主任Mr. Johnson却以关心和担忧代替了责备，让作者和Kim深感意外和感动的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“那一刻，我无法用言语形容我有多后悔。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Kim对自己行为的后悔和向Mr. Johnson道歉的情景。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，Mr. Johnson轻轻地摸了摸我们每个人的头。”可知，第二段可描写Mr. Johnson对作者和Kim的安慰、教导以及作者的感悟。 2. 续写线索：后悔情绪——主动道歉——等待回应——温柔安慰——教导安全——内心感动——感悟原谅的力量 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①主动道歉：take the lead in admitting our mistake/apologize first/be the first to say sorry ②等待回应：await his response/wait for his reply ③弥补：make up for/compensate for ④铭记：carve into one’s heart/keep in mind/remember deeply 情绪类： ①担心：worry about/be concerned about /be anxious about ②内心感动：feel a stream of warmth/be touched deeply/experience a sense of warmth 【点睛】[高分句型1] Thinking of his sunny and radiant smile, I really wanted to slap myself in the face heavily. （使用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]Also he said nothing was more important than safety, and that now nothing could beat seeing us standing here, safe and sound.（使用了and 连接两个that引导的宾语从句，第一个that省略，作said的宾语） [高分句型3] It was the first time that I felt the power of forgiveness. （使用了固定句型It was the first time that...） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
