However, this digital universe has a growing physical footprint. The chart below compares the average CO2 emissions (排放) per hour for different streaming qualities on a standard smartphone. Beyond the Stream: The Lifecycle of Data The journey of a single video stream begins in data centers, which consume vast amounts of electricity not only to power the servers but also to run 24/7 cooling systems that prevent overheating. From the data center, the information travels through transmission networks that carry data across continents and into our homes. Finally, the data is displayed on our end-user devices — smartphones, laptops, etc. Both producing these billions of devices and charging them represent another substantial share of the digital carbon footprint. Practical Solutions: The solution is not to abandon digital entertainment but to stream more intelligently and consciously. Your Guide To Sustainable Streaming Download: When you know you’ll watch something repeatedly (like a favorite film), download it via Wi-Fi once instead of streaming it multiple times. Adjust Video Quality: When watching on a smaller screen, the difference between HD and 4K is barely noticeable. Most platforms allow you to select the quality mode in their settings. Embrace Audio: For background entertainment, while you are working or cooking, choose music, podcasts or radio. Cancel the “Autoplay Next Episode” Feature: This prevents you from unconsciously watching content you didn’t choose and may not even be enjoying, saving energy and data. Evaluate the Environmental Policies of the Platforms You Use: If possible, support streaming services that are committed to powering their operations with 100% renewable energy. 1. How much carbon is given off by streaming a High Definition (HD) movie for two hours? A. About 30g. B. About 60g. C. About 90g. D. About 120g. 2. What can we say about the lifecycle of digital data? A. It’s energy-intensive. B. It’s highly efficient. C. It’s carbon-neutral. D. It’s fairly autonomous. 3. What is a benefit of cancelling the “Autoplay” feature? A. It supports renewable energy. B. It improves video qualities. C. It reduces power and data usage. D. It prevents device overheating. B An 11-year-old girl with a reading difficulty has designed a pair of colour-changing glasses to help people with the learning condition to be able to read more easily and comfortably. Initially, Millie, from Salford in Greater Manchester, first had the idea for the rainbow spectacles when she was eight years old. Specifically, the schoolgirl’s glasses feature interchangeable coloured lenses (镜片), allowing users to select the colour that best relieves visual stress and improves reading comfort. Millie’s mum Sarah said: “It’s been amazing because I’ve seen how it’s really affected her — really severe headaches, sickness, words constantly moving around.” Of her daughter’s invention, Sarah added: “I think it’s going to change people’s lives if I’m honest.” In fact, this condition mainly causes problems with reading, writing and spelling. It is estimated up to one in 10 people in the UK has some degree of this reading difficulty, according to the NHS. Consequently, Millie’s design won a gold medal at the Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal. Out of more than 70,000 entries, her concept was selected to be made into a working model by manufacturing firm Thales. Benjamin Butcher, a graduate mechanical engineer at Thales, said: “I think it’s a really innovative idea. It’s something a lot of people have not thought of before and it’s a real-world problem. It’s been able to address something that’s so common with people that people just tend to overlook a little bit.” Furthermore, Harry Topping, a manufacturing apprentice at Thales, said: “It’s been impressive to see the idea that Millie came up with. The communication has been really good as well and to come up with an idea like that... hopefully in the future it can be something that’s more popular.” Looking ahead, the next step is to try to find funding to get the product on the shelves. “I really hope companies do get involved because it can help some of your lives,” said Millie. 4. Why did Millie design the colour-changing glasses? A. To win a gold medal. B. To ease reading problems. C. To test coloured lenses. D. To cure her mom’s headache. 5. What do we know about Millie’s concept in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It was applied in local hospitals. B. It was previously overlooked. C. It helped improve communication. D. It promised to solve a common issue. 6. Which of the following can best describe Millie? A. Brave and inquiring. B. Patient and cautious. C. Creative and caring. D. Ambitious and energetic. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. An Engineer’s Journey to Success B. Rainbow Glasses Light Up Hope C. A Girl with a Reading Difficulty D. A New Cure for a Common Disease C I recently moved back to my hometown, York, a small city in England. It has a long history and a lively culture, but not many trees for shade. In recognition of urban trees’ benefits, the city plans to plant 4,000 trees, starting with the creation of two “micro woods” near the city center. However, planting thousands of trees doesn’t guarantee success. It’s important to choose carefully what to plant and where and — to care for what’s already there. One of the main benefits of urban trees is that they keep cities cool by providing shade and transpiration. This cooling effect will only become more important as the climate warms. In the meantime, however, climate change is threatening urban trees. Ecologist Stephan Pauleit and his team found a major increase in tree death rate during summer heatwaves. The loss of mature trees is a major problem. According to Pauleit, an 80-year-old tree cools the air and stores carbon ten times better than a 20-year-old one. There are other threats, including invasive species. Two species of longhorn beetles (天牛), for example, can eat a tree to death. A study found that a serious outbreak of either of these harmful insects could kill a quarter of the trees in some cities. These problems are worsened by the limited diversity of urban trees. In some cities, just five species account for three quarters of trees. Such trees are tried and tested choices, but as the climate warms, they may no longer be fit for purpose. Thus, cities need to plant with the future in mind. Researcher Henrik Sjoman has identified candidates like the chestnut-leaved oak and Lebanese wild apple that tolerate extreme conditions the best. I went to one of the micro woods in York. There are about 50 saplings (幼树) that will take decades to mature. I am rooting for them, but I fear the world where they are growing up won’t be kind to them. 8. What does the author think is vital for the tree planting plan? A. Preserving the existing trees. B. Creating more urban micro woods. C. Developing a lively local culture. D. Replacing the badly damaged roots. 9. What do we know about urban mature trees? A. They survive heatwaves better. B. They show a stronger cooling effect. C. They stop the climate from warming. D. They recover from insect attacks faster. 10. What has led urban forests to higher risks? A. Random choice of trees. B. Poor variety of trees. C. Inability to store carbon. D. Frequent outbreaks of new insects. 11. What can be inferred about the newly planted saplings in York? A. They may face challenges in the future. B. They may soon provide enough shade. C. They can prevent longhorn beetles. D. They can tolerate extreme conditions. D Imagine a world without museums, libraries, theatres, and galleries. It would be as if the vivid colors of life had suddenly faded into black and white. Clearly, the need to appreciate art seems hardwired into our species. Art does not happen at the edge of life; it sits at the center — a true engine. In essence, art is how we justify our existence. Looking back, we’ve been creating art for longer than recorded history. Our great evolutionary rivals, the Neanderthals (尼安德特人), were physically stronger but left behind few artifacts. Their imagination was limited, and Homo sapiens’ more complex way of thinking — our creativity — is what moved us to the forefront among the human species. On a personal level, art is most rewarding as an intellectual pursuit. Great art is complex, and it expects effort from us when we engage with it. It carries messages that survive for centuries, with its power remaining unattenuated. There is no substitute for the artwork’s materiality, which engages our senses, analytical skills, and intellectual curiosity. Beyond that, the appreciation of art is often a communal experience — it brings us together. We may argue, but we certainly do not wage war over artistic expression. Art and culture are the most important vehicles for us to understand one another, making us curious about the unfamiliar, and ultimately allowing us to embrace it. Lately, there has been much debate about the value of art compared to the hard sciences. While science has brought wonderful things, it has also played a role in our darkest achievements. By contrast, art explores the darkest corners of the human mind, helping us understand — and hopefully rise above — them. Ultimately, art lifts us up, making us better people. Admittedly, machines born of science have proven to be amazing, connecting, and informing us, but they are limited. They lack imagination, so we must imagine for them. In the future, our greatest challenge will not come from the Neanderthals, but from the machines we have invented. Meeting that challenge requires firing up the most important engines we possess — culture and creativity. After all, reason is born out of our cultural experiences, and works of art carry the wisdom of the world. 12. Why does the author mention the Neanderthals in paragraph 2? A. To prove their physical strength. B. To record early human history. C. To introduce the ancient tools. D. To highlight the creative power. 13. What does the underlined word “unattenuated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Misunderstood. B. Unnoticed. C. Unweakened. D. Mysterious. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The debate over hard sciences. B. The dark side of our sciences. C. The development of new machines. D. The unique value of human arts. 15. What does the author suggest we do to face the future challenge? A. Depend on the hard sciences. B. Learn from our ancient ancestors. C. Promote culture and creativity. D. Invent more intelligent machines. 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 Oak Ridge, Texas, lived a man named Samuel, who was known for his unwillingness to embrace change.

Nobody knew where she came from, and nobody stepped forward to claim her. For most of his life, Dad had never cared much for pets, but the sight of that thin, sick creature seemed to open a door in his heart. That evening, he stepped into our house, holding a box. “I’ve never seen anything so sad,” Dad whispered, his eyes filled with tears. Inside the box lay a tiny creature from a terrible place. No bigger than a small pot, the poor little dog was suffering from disease and hunger. Lifeless eyes stuck out sadly; her bony legs were so weak that she couldn’t even stand. She was a mess that everyone else would have turned away from. Mom looked into the box and immediately shook her head. “Oh, she’s too far gone,” she told Dad. “Let’s just have the animal doctor end her pain. Why keep such a dog?” Even the doctor offered little hope the next day. “I’m awfully sorry,” he sighed. “I doubt if she survives the weekend. It’s not worth the effort.” But Dad insisted. He returned home with some pills and medical cream. Every afternoon, he carried the little dog gently out under the big trees in the backyard. Mom watched through the kitchen window, sighing at the sight of the dirty, hairless dog. “Don’t get your hopes up,” she warned. “Everyone else has given up on her.” Nevertheless, every day, Dad faithfully treated the little dog — the little lost dog that nobody wanted. He put cream into the wounds that covered her entire body. For those first few days, there was little hope. Disease and hunger had taken her down a cruel path. It seemed only a miracle could save the life that the world had forgotten. Despite the slim odds, Dad refused to give up on the pup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next seventeen years, Summer became a beloved family member. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年福州第一中学高三校模拟考试 英语 （满分150分 考试用时120分钟） May the Force be with You May 26, 2026 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，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍 1.

C 【解析】 【原文】文章围绕数字娱乐的环境成本展开，通过数据、案例与实用建议，揭示数字行为对碳排放的影响。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“The chart below compares the average CO2 emissions per hour for different streaming qualities on a standard smartphone(下图比较了标准智能手机上不同流媒体质量每小时的平均二氧化碳排放量）”和图表信息可知，High Definition (HD)流媒体播放每小时的平均二氧化碳排放量为60克，两小时HD流媒体播放的碳排放为60g×2=120g。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“The journey of a single video stream begins in data centers, which consume vast amounts of electricity not only to power the servers but also to run 24/7 cooling systems that prevent overheating. From the data center, the information travels through transmission networks that carry data across continents and into our homes. Finally, the data is displayed on our end-user devices — smartphones, laptops, etc. Both producing these billions of devices and charging them represent another substantial share of the digital carbon footprint.(单个视频流的传输始于数据中心，这些数据中心不仅要消耗大量的电力来为服务器供电，还要运行24/7的冷却系统以防止过热。从数据中心，信息通过传输网络传播，这些传输网络将数据传送到各大洲并进入我们的家庭。最后，数据显示在我们的终端用户设备上——智能手机、笔记本电脑等。这数十亿台设备的生产和充电都是数字碳足迹的重要组成部分。)”可知，数字数据的整个生命周期是能源密集型的。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Cancel the “Autoplay Next Episode” Feature: This prevents you from unconsciously watching content you didn’t choose and may not even be enjoying, saving energy and data.(取消‘自动播放下一集’功能：这可以防止你无意识地观看未选择甚至可能不喜欢的内容，节省能源和数据)”可知，取消自动播放功能可减少能源和数据使用。 B An 11-year-old girl with a reading difficulty has designed a pair of colour-changing glasses to help people with the learning condition to be able to read more easily and comfortably.

It is estimated up to one in 10 people in the UK has some degree of this reading difficulty, according to the NHS. Consequently, Millie’s design won a gold medal at the Primary Engineer MacRobert Medal. Out of more than 70,000 entries, her concept was selected to be made into a working model by manufacturing firm Thales. Benjamin Butcher, a graduate mechanical engineer at Thales, said: “I think it’s a really innovative idea. It’s something a lot of people have not thought of before and it’s a real-world problem. It’s been able to address something that’s so common with people that people just tend to overlook a little bit.” Furthermore, Harry Topping, a manufacturing apprentice at Thales, said: “It’s been impressive to see the idea that Millie came up with. The communication has been really good as well and to come up with an idea like that... hopefully in the future it can be something that’s more popular.” Looking ahead, the next step is to try to find funding to get the product on the shelves. “I really hope companies do get involved because it can help some of your lives,” said Millie. 4. Why did Millie design the colour-changing glasses? A. To win a gold medal. B. To ease reading problems. C. To test coloured lenses. D. To cure her mom’s headache. 5. What do we know about Millie’s concept in paragraphs 3 and 4? A. It was applied in local hospitals. B. It was previously overlooked. C. It helped improve communication. D.

It has a long history and a lively culture, but not many trees for shade. In recognition of urban trees’ benefits, the city plans to plant 4,000 trees, starting with the creation of two “micro woods” near the city center. However, planting thousands of trees doesn’t guarantee success. It’s important to choose carefully what to plant and where and — to care for what’s already there. One of the main benefits of urban trees is that they keep cities cool by providing shade and transpiration. This cooling effect will only become more important as the climate warms. In the meantime, however, climate change is threatening urban trees. Ecologist Stephan Pauleit and his team found a major increase in tree death rate during summer heatwaves. The loss of mature trees is a major problem. According to Pauleit, an 80-year-old tree cools the air and stores carbon ten times better than a 20-year-old one. There are other threats, including invasive species. Two species of longhorn beetles (天牛), for example, can eat a tree to death. A study found that a serious outbreak of either of these harmful insects could kill a quarter of the trees in some cities. These problems are worsened by the limited diversity of urban trees. In some cities, just five species account for three quarters of trees. Such trees are tried and tested choices, but as the climate warms, they may no longer be fit for purpose. Thus, cities need to plant with the future in mind. Researcher Henrik Sjoman has identified candidates like the chestnut-leaved oak and Lebanese wild apple that tolerate extreme conditions the best. I went to one of the micro woods in York. There are about 50 saplings (幼树) that will take decades to mature. I am rooting for them, but I fear the world where they are growing up won’t be kind to them. 8. What does the author think is vital for the tree planting plan? A. Preserving the existing trees. B. Creating more urban micro woods. C. Developing a lively local culture. D. Replacing the badly damaged roots. 9. What do we know about urban mature trees? A. They survive heatwaves better. B. They show a stronger cooling effect. C. They stop the climate from warming. D. They recover from insect attacks faster. 10. What has led urban forests to higher risks? A. Random choice of trees. B. Poor variety of trees. C. Inability to store carbon. D. Frequent outbreaks of new insects. 11. What can be inferred about the newly planted saplings in York? A. They may face challenges in the future. B. They may soon provide enough shade. C. They can prevent longhorn beetles. D. They can tolerate extreme conditions. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文作者从自己回到英国约克的亲身经历出发，探讨城市植树计划面临的真正挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“It’s important to choose carefully what to plant and where and-to care for what’s already there.(谨慎选择栽种的树种与种植地点，同时养护好现存树木，这一点至关重要。)”可知，作者认为植树计划中保护现存树木至关重要。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“According to Pauleit, an 80-year-old tree cools the air and stores carbon ten times better than a 20-year-old one.(波莱特称，一棵80年树龄的树木，降温与固碳能力是 20年树龄树木的十倍。)”可知，关于城市成年大树，我们可知它们的降温效果更强。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These problems are worsened by the limited diversity of urban trees.(城市树木多样性不足，使得这些问题愈发严峻。)”可知，树种多样性匮乏致使城市林木风险升高。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“There are about 50 saplings (幼树) that will take decades to mature. I am rooting for them, but I fear the world where they are growing up won’t be kind to them.(这片林地有约50株幼树，需要几十年才能长成大树。我由衷盼望它们好好存活，却担心它们赖以成长的未来环境不会善待它们。)”可知，从约克新栽幼树能推出它们未来或将面临生存考验。 D Imagine a world without museums, libraries, theatres, and galleries. It would be as if the vivid colors of life had suddenly faded into black and white. Clearly, the need to appreciate art seems hardwired into our species. Art does not happen at the edge of life; it sits at the center — a true engine. In essence, art is how we justify our existence. Looking back, we’ve been creating art for longer than recorded history. Our great evolutionary rivals, the Neanderthals (尼安德特人), were physically stronger but left behind few artifacts. Their imagination was limited, and Homo sapiens’ more complex way of thinking — our creativity — is what moved us to the forefront among the human species. On a personal level, art is most rewarding as an intellectual pursuit. Great art is complex, and it expects effort from us when we engage with it. It carries messages that survive for centuries, with its power remaining unattenuated. There is no substitute for the artwork’s materiality, which engages our senses, analytical skills, and intellectual curiosity. Beyond that, the appreciation of art is often a communal experience — it brings us together. We may argue, but we certainly do not wage war over artistic expression. Art and culture are the most important vehicles for us to understand one another, making us curious about the unfamiliar, and ultimately allowing us to embrace it. Lately, there has been much debate about the value of art compared to the hard sciences. While science has brought wonderful things, it has also played a role in our darkest achievements. By contrast, art explores the darkest corners of the human mind, helping us understand — and hopefully rise above — them. Ultimately, art lifts us up, making us better people. Admittedly, machines born of science have proven to be amazing, connecting, and informing us, but they are limited. They lack imagination, so we must imagine for them. In the future, our greatest challenge will not come from the Neanderthals, but from the machines we have invented. Meeting that challenge requires firing up the most important engines we possess — culture and creativity. After all, reason is born out of our cultural experiences, and works of art carry the wisdom of the world. 12. Why does the author mention the Neanderthals in paragraph 2? A. To prove their physical strength. B. To record early human history. C. To introduce the ancient tools. D. To highlight the creative power. 13. What does the underlined word “unattenuated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Misunderstood. B. Unnoticed. C. Unweakened. D. Mysterious. 14. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The debate over hard sciences. B. The dark side of our sciences. C. The development of new machines. D. The unique value of human arts. 15. What does the author suggest we do to face the future challenge? A. Depend on the hard sciences. B. Learn from our ancient ancestors. C. Promote culture and creativity. D. Invent more intelligent machines. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】主要论述艺术对人类发展的重要意义，对比艺术与科学，指出依靠文化创造力应对未来机器带来的挑战。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Our great evolutionary rivals, the Neanderthals (尼安德特人), were physically stronger but left behind few artifacts. Their imagination was limited, and Homo sapiens’ more complex way of thinking — our creativity — is what moved us to the forefront among the human species.(我们在进化历程中的强劲对手尼安德特人身体更为健壮，却几乎没有留下人工制品。他们的想象力有限，而智人更为复杂的思维模式——也就是人类的创造力，正是这份特质让我们跻身人族演化的前列。)”可知，作者提到尼安德特人，用来突出人类所具备的创造力的重要性。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“It carries messages that survive for centuries, with its power remaining unattenuated.(艺术承载着历经数百年留存下来的信息，它的力量一直unattenuated。)”可知，艺术历经漫长岁月依旧保有自身力量，没有变小变弱，因此画线单词，表示“未减弱的”，与Unweakened.意义相近。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。通读第四段，尤其是第四段中的“By contrast, art explores the darkest corners of the human mind, helping us understand — and hopefully rise above — them. Ultimately, art lifts us up, making us better people.(与之相反，艺术探寻人类心灵最幽暗的角落，帮我们理解这些阴暗面，并有望从中挣脱出来。归根结底，艺术催人奋进，塑造更优秀的人类。)”可知，本段通过和科学做对比，重点阐述人类艺术所独有的宝贵价值。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Meeting that challenge requires firing up the most important engines we possess — culture and creativity.(应对这项挑战需要激活我们最关键的动力源泉：文化与创造力。)”可知，作者倡导发扬文化、提升创造力以应对未来的挑战。 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 Oak Ridge, Texas, lived a man named Samuel, who was known for his unwillingness to embrace change.

After careful consideration, I prefer “Meet the Character”. While “Words That Shine” focuses on vocabulary, I believe character analysis offers deeper engagement. By exploring characters’ motivations and growth, we can better understand human nature and cultural backgrounds.

Nobody knew where she came from, and nobody stepped forward to claim her. For most of his life, Dad had never cared much for pets, but the sight of that thin, sick creature seemed to open a door in his heart. That evening, he stepped into our house, holding a box. “I’ve never seen anything so sad,” Dad whispered, his eyes filled with tears. Inside the box lay a tiny creature from a terrible place. No bigger than a small pot, the poor little dog was suffering from disease and hunger. Lifeless eyes stuck out sadly; her bony legs were so weak that she couldn’t even stand. She was a mess that everyone else would have turned away from. Mom looked into the box and immediately shook her head. “Oh, she’s too far gone,” she told Dad. “Let’s just have the animal doctor end her pain. Why keep such a dog?” Even the doctor offered little hope the next day. “I’m awfully sorry,” he sighed. “I doubt if she survives the weekend. It’s not worth the effort.” But Dad insisted. He returned home with some pills and medical cream. Every afternoon, he carried the little dog gently out under the big trees in the backyard. Mom watched through the kitchen window, sighing at the sight of the dirty, hairless dog. “Don’t get your hopes up,” she warned. “Everyone else has given up on her.” Nevertheless, every day, Dad faithfully treated the little dog — the little lost dog that nobody wanted. He put cream into the wounds that covered her entire body. For those first few days, there was little hope. Disease and hunger had taken her down a cruel path. It seemed only a miracle could save the life that the world had forgotten. Despite the slim odds, Dad refused to give up on the pup. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Over the next seventeen years, Summer became a beloved family member. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Despite the slim odds, Dad refused to give up on the pup. He fed her warm milk and soft food patiently after work and stuck to applying medicine to her wounds regularly day after day. Gradually, the skinny dog regained strength. Her dull eyes lit up, and thin hair grew back on her body. Mom slowly changed her attitude, starting to prepare special meals for her. We named her Summer in memory of the hot summer when she showed up. Over the next seventeen years, Summer became a beloved family member. She greeted Dad at the door every day the moment he got off work and accompanied us through countless ordinary days. Quiet and loyal, she brought endless warmth and laughter to our whole family. Whenever we looked at her, we were thankful for Dad’s kindness that once saved a helpless stray dog and enriched our lives greatly. 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述1979年盛夏，一只身患重病、瘦弱不堪的流浪小狗闯入父亲工作的店铺，无人认领。原本不爱宠物的父亲心生怜悯，不顾母亲反对与兽医“难以存活”的悲观预判，坚持买药、每日悉心上药照料濒临死亡的小狗。即便所有人都放弃了这条小狗，父亲仍日复一日耐心救治，用善意守护这个被世界抛弃的小生命。 【详解】1段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写父亲悉心照料后，小狗日渐恢复健康，妈妈也改观并用心照料，一家人给小狗取名Summer。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写小狗Summer成为家中不可或缺的一员，日常陪伴家人、温顺忠心，为全家带来温暖与欢乐，全家人也感念当初父亲的善意。 2.续写线索：父亲悉心照料——小狗逐渐恢复健康——妈妈改观——小狗陪伴家人——感谢父亲的善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①出现：show up/turn up ②改变：change/alter 情绪类 ①感谢的：thankful/grateful ②无助的：helpless/unaided 【点睛】[高分句型1] Mom slowly changed her attitude, starting to prepare special meals for her.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Whenever we looked at her, we were thankful for Dad’s kindness that once saved a helpless stray dog and enriched our lives greatly.（运用了whenever引导时间状语从句，that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
