He used the land for conventional farming. However, lack of innovation made it hard for him to run the farm. In the hope of saving her father’s farm, Hua in 2013 enrolled in Jiangsu Vocational College of Agriculture and Forestry and majored in horticultural (园艺) technology. After their graduation in 2016, Hua and four like-minded friends joined her father’s farm. Almost immediately, they had to deal with poor sales. After visiting various markets, they realized they had to innovate their farming techniques. They spent the next 11 months transforming the farm into an ecological circular agriculture base. The transformation was a turning point; since then, the farm has generated an output value of 32 million yuan annually. As part of her farm management, Hua has focused on technological innovation and application. In 2018, some farmers’ strawberry seedlings (苗) died, which resulted in massive losses. Hua decided to identify the cause. She spent three months testing hundreds of formulas (配方), until she found the right culture-medium formula for strawberry seedlings. She helped the farmers avoid future losses, and she improved both strawberry yield and quality. Hua has not hesitated to share the technologies she has developed with other farmers. She organized a team to provide assistance and technical guidance to farmers. The team is composed of 49 young graduates, all of whom majored in agriculture. She has also provided technological training to more than 22, 000 people, supported more than 700 farmers in growing crops and helped farmers increase their incomes by a combined 120 million yuan. When asked about her plans for the future, Hua says, “I am willing to root in the countryside, and to work in the fields. Rural areas have great potential, and agriculture will thrive. I will lead farmers and more young people to advance rural revitalization (振兴).” 24. Why did Hua choose to study horticultural technology? A. To become an agricultural expert. B. To run her own farm independently. C. To help manage her father’s farm. D. To expand her personal knowledge. 25. What led to Hua’s farm transformation? A. High farming costs. B. Low market demand. C. Lack of farmers. D. Tough natural conditions. 26. How does the author present Hua’s contribution in paragraph 4? A. By listing numbers. B. By following time order. C. By describing scenes. D. By making a comparison. 27. Which of the following can best describe Hua? A. Easy-going and polite. B. Honest and confident. C. Independent and gifted. D. Generous and creative. C Blackwater lakes and rivers in the Congo Basin contain high levels of decaying plant debris (残渣) , which gives them their black color. They have high concentrations of CO2 and release large amounts of CO2 into the air. However, None of the CO2 was previously thought to originate from the basin’s ancient peat (泥炭) , as they were believed to be highly stable protected from decomposition by their low-oxygen environment. But a new study shows a large part of the CO2 from these blackwater bodies comes from peat carbon that is 2, 170 to 3, 500 years old. The researchers drew their conclusions from measurements they took at blackwater lakes in 2022 and 2024, and at blackwater rivers in 2025. They accessed them with small boats. The team measured sediments (沉积物) , greenhouse gases, organic carbon and inorganic carbon. Later, in the lab, the researchers analyzed their samples with a high-accuracy method — spectrometry — to separate modern carbon from plants and older carbon from soils. The tests showed that about 40% of the inorganic carbon was thousands of years old. Microbes (微生物) are breaking down ancient peat into CO₂ and methane, which then enter the water and are released into the air. The Congo Basin is estimated to hold one-third of the carbon stored in tropical peatlands globally. The release of ancient peat carbon may be a natural process to reach balance, or it may be caused by climate change. If the region suffers from drought in the future, the process could speed up and turn the peatlands from carbon sinks into serious carbon sources. Next, the researchers will analyze water trapped in the Congo Basin’s peat to explore the way microbes are releasing ancient carbon. “Ultimately, we aim to confirm whether this process is happening across the entire basin and quantify oxidation rates to determine if this leakage is a natural baseline or a sign of instability,” said Drake, the lead author of the study. 28. What was the previous view about the Congo Basin’s ancient peat? A. It released, much CO2 into the air. B. It contained high levels of oxygen. C. It absorbed carbon from plants. D. It remained unchanged over time. 29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process of measuring carbon in blackwater. B. The reason for ancient peat’s formation. C. The comparison between lakes and rivers in the basin. D. The difficulty of accessing remote blackwater bodies. 30. What is the main concern expressed in paragraph 4? A. The peatlands may become major carbon producers. B. The carbon sinks will grow constantly in size. C. The carbon stored in the peatlands will disappear forever. D. The climate change will worsen the drought in the region. 31. What is the researchers’ next move? A. To confirm the stability of the basin’s peatlands. B. To find out how microbes release ancient carbon. C. To assess the age of carbon in blackwater bodies. D. To measure the amount of CO2 released from peatlands. D OpenAI’s GPT can summarize research papers and make predictions — but can it do science? Can it generate hypotheses (假设), design experiments, interpret results and iterate (迭代)? Last summer, researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks, a company designing autonomous, robot-run labs, decided to find out. “Though AI systems have posted high scores in math, physics and computer science, biology is harder to measure,” says Joy Jiao, who leads life sciences research at OpenAI. “For something like ‘designing the best experiment’, there’s no right answer. It’s what we call a hard-hard problem: it’s hard to generate a solution, and it’s also really hard to verify.” That led the team to have AI design experiments. The team focused its experiment on cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), a technique for producing proteins without living cells. Traditional biomanufacturing (生物制造 ) relies on genetically engineering living cells to produce medicines like insulin. CFPS makes proteins outside of cells by running the cell’s own protein-making machinery in a controlled mixture. “It is one of the fastest ways to make proteins,” says Joy Jiao. From OpenAI’s headquarters, GPT-5 designed experiments and sent them across the country to Ginkgo Bioworks’ robotic systems in Boston. As it iterated, GPT-5 analyzed incoming data and proposed new experiments, which took about an hour per cycle. In the time it would take for a human to get their coffee, sit down at their computer, log in and get all set up to work, the model could take in the data, analyze it and propose new experiments. After two months and over 36, 000 tests of unique reaction compositions, the AI-driven system reduced the cost of producing the protein by about 40 percent compared with a previously reported figure from bioengineer Michael Jewett’s lab at Stanford University. “Honestly, it’s a pretty big deal,” says Jewett, director of the research. “How do we develop medicines faster to provide lifesaving therapeutics (疗法) to patients sooner? I think the integration of AI and autonomous labs is one way to do that.” 32. What was the primary goal of OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks’ experiment? A. To test GPT-5’s summarizing ability. B. To explore if AI can do scientific tasks. C. To compare AI with human scientists. D. To see how well can AI work with man. 33. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Create. B. Change. C. Confirm. D. Simplify. 34. What is a key characteristic of CFPS according to the text? A. It produces proteins outside cells. B. It requires engineering living cells. C. It is a traditional biomanufacturing method. D. It cuts down the time needed for data interpretation. 35. What does Michael Jewett imply about the AI-driven system? A. It works the same way as a human researcher. B. It can increase the cost of research significantly. C. It will replace human scientists soon. D. It can speed up drug development. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Summer is well on the way. And what is a better way to welcome the warmer weather than to start cleaning up your garden? Keen gardeners will make their way outside to plant some flowers. ____36____ That is star jasmine (茉莉) . It will keep gardens smelling amazing all summer long and be a pretty addition to anyone’s outdoor space. In addition to a rich scent, star jasmine will provide a lovely, delicate look. It’s perfect for climbing over trellises (棚架) and fences as a classic climber plant, which means it will grow upwards. ____37____ Another advantage is that it’s a reliable winter plant too.

Public transportation was shut down because of the heavy snow. I work in a company that rents out social housing. Because of the bad weather, most of us were forced to work from home. Only a few technicians were on emergency repair duty. If there was a real emergency, they would brave the white outside, though it may take them much longer than usual to get there. And since we all care about our coworkers out in the snow, our customer service staff make sure every repair call is indeed an emergency before sending anyone out. All day long, the calls kept coming. Most callers asked about their repair appointments (预约) , and we had to explain, “Unfortunately, the technician can’t make it today. We tried to call you for rescheduling, but no one answered” Luckily, most customers understood and agreed to reschedule after sharing their reasons for missing the call. However, one call that day went very differently. A soft, old voice came through the phone: “My tap is leaking.” “I am so sorry to hear that,” I said gently. “I can arrange a worker for you in two days, if the weather gets better by then.” “Yes... but my tap is leaking,” he repeated, slowly and quietly. He sounded like an elderly man, maybe hard of hearing. I repeated the offer, but his only response was still the same. Red flags went off in my mind. I called the work planner at once. “Hey, I have a call from Greenhill Street. An elderly man with a leaky tap. No matter what I ask, he just repeats himself. So I’m worried,” I said anxiously. Minutes later, the planner told me a technician was working just two streets away. She had asked him to check on the man. Then I called the man several times, but no one picked up. My worry grew heavier with every passing minute. What if something terrible had happened to him? 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。 Every few minutes, I checked my phone for messages from the planner. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing that, I let out a huge breath of relief. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二4月英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，务必将自己的个人信息填写在答题卡上，并将条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡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。 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。录音内容结束后，你将有2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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The dolphin has been known as man’s best friend. Once a 28-year-old man who went swimming in the Red Sea with a group of dolphins, learnt the hard way just how caring these creatures can be. When the man was suddenly attacked by a shark, they frightened the shark away by forming a circle around him. It’s not the first time such a rescue has happened and it’s been known for some time that dolphins will do for humans what they do for their own kind. They are, in fact, the only animals in the world whose brains match ours in terms of size, and their ability to feel emotion continues to attract scientists and doctors. Humans don’t necessarily harm dolphins on purpose, but we trap them in fishing nets and pollute the water they swim in. Pollution, in fact, is one of the greatest problems that dolphins face. Considering all the good they do for us, isn’t it time we started caring about them? 第二部分 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A 2026 — 2027 High School Practice Program Company: Endress+ Hauser USA Location: 2350 Endress Place, Greenwood, IN 46143, United States At Endress + Hauser, progress happens by working together.

In 2010, Hua’s father rented more than 13. 3 hectares of land in a village. He used the land for conventional farming. However, lack of innovation made it hard for him to run the farm. In the hope of saving her father’s farm, Hua in 2013 enrolled in Jiangsu Vocational College of Agriculture and Forestry and majored in horticultural (园艺) technology. After their graduation in 2016, Hua and four like-minded friends joined her father’s farm. Almost immediately, they had to deal with poor sales. After visiting various markets, they realized they had to innovate their farming techniques. They spent the next 11 months transforming the farm into an ecological circular agriculture base. The transformation was a turning point; since then, the farm has generated an output value of 32 million yuan annually. As part of her farm management, Hua has focused on technological innovation and application. In 2018, some farmers’ strawberry seedlings (苗) died, which resulted in massive losses. Hua decided to identify the cause. She spent three months testing hundreds of formulas (配方), until she found the right culture-medium formula for strawberry seedlings. She helped the farmers avoid future losses, and she improved both strawberry yield and quality. Hua has not hesitated to share the technologies she has developed with other farmers. She organized a team to provide assistance and technical guidance to farmers. The team is composed of 49 young graduates, all of whom majored in agriculture. She has also provided technological training to more than 22, 000 people, supported more than 700 farmers in growing crops and helped farmers increase their incomes by a combined 120 million yuan. When asked about her plans for the future, Hua says, “I am willing to root in the countryside, and to work in the fields. Rural areas have great potential, and agriculture will thrive. I will lead farmers and more young people to advance rural revitalization (振兴).” 24. Why did Hua choose to study horticultural technology? A. To become an agricultural expert. B. To run her own farm independently. C. To help manage her father’s farm. D. To expand her personal knowledge. 25. What led to Hua’s farm transformation? A. High farming costs. B. Low market demand. C.

They have high concentrations of CO2 and release large amounts of CO2 into the air. However, None of the CO2 was previously thought to originate from the basin’s ancient peat (泥炭) , as they were believed to be highly stable protected from decomposition by their low-oxygen environment. But a new study shows a large part of the CO2 from these blackwater bodies comes from peat carbon that is 2, 170 to 3, 500 years old. The researchers drew their conclusions from measurements they took at blackwater lakes in 2022 and 2024, and at blackwater rivers in 2025. They accessed them with small boats. The team measured sediments (沉积物) , greenhouse gases, organic carbon and inorganic carbon. Later, in the lab, the researchers analyzed their samples with a high-accuracy method — spectrometry — to separate modern carbon from plants and older carbon from soils. The tests showed that about 40% of the inorganic carbon was thousands of years old. Microbes (微生物) are breaking down ancient peat into CO₂ and methane, which then enter the water and are released into the air. The Congo Basin is estimated to hold one-third of the carbon stored in tropical peatlands globally. The release of ancient peat carbon may be a natural process to reach balance, or it may be caused by climate change. If the region suffers from drought in the future, the process could speed up and turn the peatlands from carbon sinks into serious carbon sources. Next, the researchers will analyze water trapped in the Congo Basin’s peat to explore the way microbes are releasing ancient carbon. “Ultimately, we aim to confirm whether this process is happening across the entire basin and quantify oxidation rates to determine if this leakage is a natural baseline or a sign of instability,” said Drake, the lead author of the study. 28. What was the previous view about the Congo Basin’s ancient peat? A. It released, much CO2 into the air. B. It contained high levels of oxygen. C. It absorbed carbon from plants. D. It remained unchanged over time. 29. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process of measuring carbon in blackwater. B. The reason for ancient peat’s formation. C. The comparison between lakes and rivers in the basin. D. The difficulty of accessing remote blackwater bodies. 30. What is the main concern expressed in paragraph 4? A. The peatlands may become major carbon producers. B. The carbon sinks will grow constantly in size. C. The carbon stored in the peatlands will disappear forever. D. The climate change will worsen the drought in the region. 31. What is the researchers’ next move? A. To confirm the stability of the basin’s peatlands. B. To find out how microbes release ancient carbon. C. To assess the age of carbon in blackwater bodies. D. To measure the amount of CO2 released from peatlands. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项关于刚果盆地黑水湖泊和河流中古老泥炭碳释放的新研究发现及其意义。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的句子“However, none of the CO2 was previously thought to originate from the basin’s ancient peat (泥炭), as they were believed to be highly stable protected from decomposition by their low-oxygen environment.(然而，此前人们认为这些二氧化碳都不是来自盆地的古代泥炭，因为人们认为古代泥炭在低氧环境中非常稳定，不会分解。)”可知，此前人们认为刚果盆地的古代泥炭会长期保持不变。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段中的句子“The researchers drew their conclusions from measurements they took at blackwater lakes in 2022 and 2024, and at blackwater rivers in 2025. They accessed them with small boats. The team measured sediments (沉积物), greenhouse gases, organic carbon and inorganic carbon. Later, in the lab, the researchers analyzed their samples with a high-accuracy method — spectrometry — to separate modern carbon from plants and older carbon from soils.(研究人员根据2022年和2024年在黑水环境湖泊、2025年在黑水环境河流中进行的测量得出结论。他们乘坐小船进入这些水域。研究小组测量了沉积物、温室气体、有机碳和无机碳。之后，在实验室里，研究人员用高精度的光谱法分析样本，以区分来自植物的现代碳和来自土壤的古老碳。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了测量黑水环境中碳的过程。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段中的句子“If the region suffers from drought in the future, the process could speed up and turn the peatlands from carbon sinks into serious carbon sources.(如果该地区未来遭受干旱，这一过程可能会加速，使泥炭地从碳汇变成严重的碳源。)”可知，第四段表达的主要担忧是泥炭地可能会成为主要的碳生产者。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的句子“Next, the researchers will analyze water trapped in the Congo Basin’s peat to explore the way microbes are releasing ancient carbon.(接下来，研究人员将分析刚果盆地泥炭中截留的水，以探索微生物释放古老碳的方式。)”可知，研究人员的下一步行动是找出微生物如何释放古老碳。 D OpenAI’s GPT can summarize research papers and make predictions — but can it do science? Can it generate hypotheses (假设), design experiments, interpret results and iterate (迭代)? Last summer, researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks, a company designing autonomous, robot-run labs, decided to find out. “Though AI systems have posted high scores in math, physics and computer science, biology is harder to measure,” says Joy Jiao, who leads life sciences research at OpenAI. “For something like ‘designing the best experiment’, there’s no right answer. It’s what we call a hard-hard problem: it’s hard to generate a solution, and it’s also really hard to verify.” That led the team to have AI design experiments. The team focused its experiment on cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), a technique for producing proteins without living cells. Traditional biomanufacturing (生物制造 ) relies on genetically engineering living cells to produce medicines like insulin. CFPS makes proteins outside of cells by running the cell’s own protein-making machinery in a controlled mixture. “It is one of the fastest ways to make proteins,” says Joy Jiao. From OpenAI’s headquarters, GPT-5 designed experiments and sent them across the country to Ginkgo Bioworks’ robotic systems in Boston. As it iterated, GPT-5 analyzed incoming data and proposed new experiments, which took about an hour per cycle. In the time it would take for a human to get their coffee, sit down at their computer, log in and get all set up to work, the model could take in the data, analyze it and propose new experiments. After two months and over 36, 000 tests of unique reaction compositions, the AI-driven system reduced the cost of producing the protein by about 40 percent compared with a previously reported figure from bioengineer Michael Jewett’s lab at Stanford University. “Honestly, it’s a pretty big deal,” says Jewett, director of the research. “How do we develop medicines faster to provide lifesaving therapeutics (疗法) to patients sooner? I think the integration of AI and autonomous labs is one way to do that.” 32. What was the primary goal of OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks’ experiment? A. To test GPT-5’s summarizing ability. B. To explore if AI can do scientific tasks. C. To compare AI with human scientists. D. To see how well can AI work with man. 33. What does the underlined word “verify” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Create. B. Change. C. Confirm. D. Simplify. 34. What is a key characteristic of CFPS according to the text? A. It produces proteins outside cells. B. It requires engineering living cells. C. It is a traditional biomanufacturing method. D. It cuts down the time needed for data interpretation. 35. What does Michael Jewett imply about the AI-driven system? A. It works the same way as a human researcher. B. It can increase the cost of research significantly. C. It will replace human scientists soon. D. It can speed up drug development. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍科研人员开展实验，检验人工智能能否独立完成科研工作，并介绍相关实验过程、技术原理以及人工智能在生物科研领域的应用价值。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“OpenAI’s GPT can summarize research papers and make predictions— but can it do science? Can it generate hypotheses (假设), design experiments, interpret results and iterate (迭代)? Last summer, researchers at OpenAI and Ginkgo Bioworks, a company designing autonomous, robot-run labs, decided to find out.(OpenAI的GPT可以总结研究论文并进行预测——但它能做科研吗？它能否提出假设、设计实验、解读结果并进行迭代？去年夏天，OpenAI和一家设计自动化机器人实验室的公司Ginkgo Bioworks的研究人员决定一探究竟)”可知，两家机构开展实验的主要目的是探究人工智能是否能够完成各类科研相关工作。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的“It’s what we call a hard-hard problem: it’s hard to generate a solution, and it’s also really hard to verify.(这就是我们所说的双重难题：很难得出解决方案，并且也很难去verify这个方案是否可行)”可知，难题一方面难在想出办法，另一方面难在验证、确认办法是否有效。划线单词表示“核实、确认”，与confirm意思相近。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The team focused its experiment on cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS), a technique for producing proteins without living cells.(该团队将实验重点放在无细胞蛋白质合成技术上，这是一种不使用活细胞就能生产蛋白质的技术)”以及“CFPS makes proteins outside of cells by running the cell’s own protein-making machinery in a controlled mixture.(无细胞蛋白质合成技术通过在受控混合物中运行细胞自身的蛋白质生成机制，在细胞外部制造蛋白质)”可知，无细胞蛋白质合成技术的核心关键特点是在细胞外生产蛋白质。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“How do we develop medicines faster to provide lifesaving therapeutics (疗法) to patients sooner? I think the integration of AI and autonomous labs is one way to do that.(我们如何更快研发药物，更早为患者提供救命的治疗方案？我认为人工智能与自动化实验室的结合就是实现这一目标的途径之一)”可知，迈克尔·朱威特认为人工智能驱动系统能够加快药物研发的速度。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Summer is well on the way.

Public transportation was shut down because of the heavy snow. I work in a company that rents out social housing. Because of the bad weather, most of us were forced to work from home. Only a few technicians were on emergency repair duty. If there was a real emergency, they would brave the white outside, though it may take them much longer than usual to get there. And since we all care about our coworkers out in the snow, our customer service staff make sure every repair call is indeed an emergency before sending anyone out. All day long, the calls kept coming. Most callers asked about their repair appointments (预约) , and we had to explain, “Unfortunately, the technician can’t make it today. We tried to call you for rescheduling, but no one answered” Luckily, most customers understood and agreed to reschedule after sharing their reasons for missing the call. However, one call that day went very differently. A soft, old voice came through the phone: “My tap is leaking.” “I am so sorry to hear that,” I said gently. “I can arrange a worker for you in two days, if the weather gets better by then.” “Yes... but my tap is leaking,” he repeated, slowly and quietly. He sounded like an elderly man, maybe hard of hearing. I repeated the offer, but his only response was still the same. Red flags went off in my mind. I called the work planner at once. “Hey, I have a call from Greenhill Street. An elderly man with a leaky tap. No matter what I ask, he just repeats himself. So I’m worried,” I said anxiously. Minutes later, the planner told me a technician was working just two streets away. She had asked him to check on the man. Then I called the man several times, but no one picked up. My worry grew heavier with every passing minute. What if something terrible had happened to him? 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。 Every few minutes, I checked my phone for messages from the planner. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hearing that, I let out a huge breath of relief. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Every few minutes, I checked my phone for messages from the planner. I was so worried that I even imagined the worst situation where the elderly man might have fallen down and couldn’t get up. Just as I was about to call the technician directly, a message came: the technician had arrived at Greenhill Street and found the man safe. He said that the man was deaf and couldn’t hear the phone, so he just kept repeating about the leaky tap because he was anxious. Hearing that, I let out a huge breath of relief. The planner told me that the technician had fixed the tap quickly and chatted with the man for a while. She added that the man was very grateful and kept saying thanks to the technician. I felt happy that we didn’t ignore the man’s simple words, which might have hidden a real need. It taught me that we should always care more about the elderly, especially when they are in trouble. 【解析】 【导语】本文以雪天紧急维修为线索展开，主要讲述了作者接到老人漏水求助电话，察觉异常后安排技术员查看，最终确认老人安全并解决问题的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者的焦急心情、对老人的担忧，以及收到技术员消息后得知的真相（老人耳聋、无法接电话）。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者放下心来，了解到技术员解决了问题、老人表示感谢，以及作者从中得到的感悟。 2.续写线索：焦急等待——担忧脑补最坏情况——收到技术员消息——得知老人安全及原因——放下心来——了解后续情况——产生感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①修理：fix/repair/mend ②聊天：chat/have a conversation ③忽略：ignore/overlook/pay no attention to 情绪类 ①担忧的：worried/anxious/concerned ②感激的：grateful / thankful / appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型1】I was so worried that I even imagined the worst situation where the elderly man might have fallen down and couldn’t get up.(运用了that引导的宾语从句和where引导的定语从句)  【高分句型2】He said that the man was deaf and couldn’t hear the phone, so he just kept repeating about the leaky tap because he was anxious. (运用了that引导的宾语从句和because引导的原因状语从句)  第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语科听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将你的答案转涂到答题卡上。现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?
