Two friends joined me on a four-day wilderness getaway, and since we were all in our seventies, we decided we’d better go while we still could. Our adventure began with a scary drive up a winding mountain road. On one hike, I found myself hanging onto a wire on a bridge made of two partly rotten (腐烂的) logs, suspended high above rushing rapids. I would never have attempted it without our guide ahead, mouthing encouraging words. Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs. Somehow, I made it across, flooded with a rush of intense excitement and huge relief. Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. C Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work? Lots of experts claim that it is. They point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, from the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago. Others search the economic data for signs of the forthcoming AI job-loss, saying young graduates are now more likely than the average worker to be jobless. Well, no. American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low. As we examine American data on employment by occupation, we pick out workers believed to be vulnerable (易受影响的) to AI. These are white-collar employees, including people in back-office support, financial operations, sales and much more besides. We find that over the past year the employment in white-collar work has risen slightly. Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%. Wage growth is still reasonably strong, which goes against the concern that AI is causing demand for labor to fall. And, outside America, earnings growth in many countries also remains strong. There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go. That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic. 8. What fuels people’s fear of being unemployed? A. Limitations of human labor. B. Modern technological advances. C. Complexity of tasks in the AI era. D. Heavy workload in various fields. 9. Which chart best shows American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate? A. B. C. D. 10. Why does the author mention two reasons in paragraph 6? A. To cite the data sources. B. To identify the likelier reason. C. To further justify his prediction. D. To model valid research methods. 11. What’s probably the author’s attitude towards human employment? A. Puzzled. B. Alarmed. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. D When a plant is stressed, it doesn’t keep quiet about it. You won’t hear the plant’s cry because it’s in the ultrasonic (超声的) range — too high-pitched for human ears — but, for decades, scientists have been using special devices to listen in. For the first time, a team of researchers in Israel has documented that insects can hear and interpret plants’ distress sounds. The research team recorded sounds from tomato and tobacco plants that were dehydrated (使脱水). The noise created was a result of changes in the plant’s water balance. During periods when the plants lack water, air bubbles form, expand and collapse in xylem tissues (木质部组织), which are responsible for distributing water from the roots, creating shaking and click-like sounds. In the study published in eLife, scientists tested Egyptian cotton leafworm moths (飞蛾). The researchers conducted a series of experiments where they observed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths detecting ultrasonic signals emitted by drought-stressed tomato plants. These subtle sounds help female moths choose where to lay their eggs. In one experiment, when there were no plants present, the female moths preferred the side where the sounds of stressed plants were played, indicating that the moths may have associated the sound with the presence of vegetation. However, when healthy plants were placed on two sides, where only one played the sound of distressed plant clicks, the moths chose to lay their eggs on the silent side. As part of the research, when the moths’ sense of hearing was removed, they no longer showed a preference for where to lay their eggs. This suggests that sound plays a key role when it comes to moths choosing the best environment for their eggs. The new discovery sheds light on the possibility of this invisible ecosystem. Professor Yossi Yovel called this “the first proof of animals responding to plant sounds”. Another expert Rya Seltzer added, “This is just the tip of the iceberg. Countless organisms hear these frequencies, and more plant sounds await discovery.” These “secret lives” of plants and moths aren’t just fascinating — they may also have real-world uses as scientists learn more. As scientists continue to tune in, much may still be waiting to be discovered, just beyond our perception. 12. What is the main finding of the Israeli research? A. Insects react to sounds from stressed plants. B. Moths lay their eggs based on plant sounds. C. Dehydrated plants have more xylem tissues. D. Plants produce sounds human beings can’t hear. 13. Why did moths choose the silent side to lay their eggs? A. The moths preferred silence to noise. B. There were a larger number of healthy plants. C. The moths adjusted to the quiet environment. D. The silent side meant better survival chances. 14. What can be inferred about the significance of the new discovery? A. It confirms many stressed plants produce ultrasonic signals. B. It challenges the traditional view of plant and insect interactions. C. It proves plant sounds are the key factor in ecosystem balance. D. It explains why moths are more sensitive to sounds than other insects. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The “Secret Sounds” Between Plants and Insects B. How Moths Choose Places to Lay Their Eggs C. Why Drought Makes Tomato Plants “Click” D. Forests: The Quietest Ecosystem on Earth 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The high-speed trap is a good example of how serious sport can make physical activity less enjoyable. Pressure to get good results, racing the clock, and always trying to improve make running harder for many people, both physically and mentally. _____16_____ Just be slower, easier, focused on enjoyment and a healthy lifestyle-like slow jogging. _____17_____ Its creator, professor Hiroaki Tanaka, was also a long-distance runner. His own health problems inspired him to create a training method based on low-intensity sessions and focusing on running technique. The style became popular in Japan and the USA during the 1990s and 2000s. The core of slow jogging is smile. _____18_____ Instead of pushing for speed and intensity, we go for movement that boosts our mood. With slow jogging, you can enjoy a smile and a conversation while you run. Slow jogging is built around three main elements, making it different from other kinds of running. _____19_____ Slow jogging is a low-intensity activity. The pace is very relaxed, with the heart rate staying below 70% of its maximum. While slow jogging can be done at any low speed, rhythm is what matters most. The best value is 180 steps per minute, which is typical for long-distance running. In slow jogging, instead of rolling from heel to toe, we land and push off from the middle of the foot. _____20_____ When running, keep your posture upright-shoulders relaxed, arms bent and moving naturally. And of course, don’t forget to smile-that’s exactly what it’s all about! A. Slow jogging started in Japan. B. This is a natural running technique. C. Training should feel good, not painful. D. You have to deserve to run hard and fast. E. Its variations have made it even more popular. F. They are running pace, rhythm and landing technique. G. That is why trying a new way of running is a good idea. 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、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 On summer vacation in 2023, I felt it was time to get some real-world experience.

Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them. To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams: “Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that’s my best friend...” Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that. After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin. 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。 Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期第二次质量监测 高二英语 第一部分：听力（共两节，满分30分） 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.

Later, after spotting bear tracks, we were told to make loud noises, which soon became a game once the tension faded. Until suddenly, time stood still. We had just crossed a stream when the guide whispered, “There’s a bear.” I looked up in disbelief and saw not one, but two, about ten meters above us— the brown mother in front, her cub behind. Though scared speechless, I couldn’t help noticing how beautiful they looked in their natural setting. I wondered if it would be my last memory. As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away. Another fear was overcome! On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind. The bond of friendship would stick with me. Women supporting one another truly rocked. And I hoped to leave some fears behind. Our guide ended by expressing her admiration, praising not only our fitness but also our positive attitude, and saying she hoped to be like us in another thirty or forty years. Those unexpected words warmed my heart and eased my fear of being “over the hill.” Being valued for what we had accomplished felt like winning an Olympic medal — even if just for participation. 4. How did the author cross the bridge? A. By taking mindful steps. B. By rushing across it bravely. C. By using her sense of direction. D. By having the guide drag her over. 5. Why did the bears leave? A. They were attracted by the natural setting. B. They were afraid of the noise of the rapids. C. They were surprised at the group’s actions. D. They were threatened by the guide’s rocks. 6. Why did the guide ask them for a stick, rock, and leaf? A. To pick up some souvenirs. B. To reflect on the journey. C. To symbolize their teamwork. D. To check their observation skills. 7. What does the underlined phrase “over the hill” in the last paragraph mean? A. Past the peak of youth. B. Too high to go down. C. Out of place in society. D. Beyond physical limits. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者与两位年过七旬的朋友的四天荒野探险经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Fixing my eyes on her boots, I inched along the shaky logs.(我盯着她的靴子，小心翼翼地沿着摇晃的圆木慢慢挪动。)”可知，作者盯着向导的靴子，小心翼翼地一步步走过摇晃的圆木桥。故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段的句子“As they started towards us, we recovered enough to shout and wave our hiking poles. Taken aback, they stopped, and then slowly turned away.(当它们开始向我们走来时，我们缓过神来，大声呼喊并挥舞登山杖。它们吃了一惊，停了下来，然后慢慢转身离开。)”可知，熊被作者一行人的呼喊和挥杖动作吓到，因此转身离开。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的句子“On our final morning, after a quiet, thoughtful walk through the forest, we were asked to bring back a “meaningful” stick, rock, and leaf to share what would “stick” with us, what “rocked,” and what we would “leaf” behind.(在我们旅行的最后一个早晨，我们在森林里安静而沉思地走了一段之后，被要求带回一根“有意义的”木棍、岩石和树叶来分享哪些会“留存”在我们心中，哪些“震撼”了我们，以及我们愿意“放下”什么)”可知，向导通过这些自然物品引导大家反思旅程中的收获与感悟。故选B项。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段的语境，向导称赞她们的健康和积极态度，并表示希望自己三四十年后也能像她们一样。这些意外的话语温暖了作者的心，缓解了她对“over the hill”的恐惧。结合前文提到的“we were all in our seventies(我们都七十多岁了)”以及“ageing(变老)”这一主题，“over the hill”指的是已过青春巅峰、年老体衰的状态。故选A项。 C Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work? Lots of experts claim that it is. They point to a recent paper by Carl Benedikt Frey and Pedro Llanos-Paredes, from the University of Oxford, which suggests a link between automation and declining demand for translators. At the same time, however, official American data suggest that the number of people employed in translation and the like is 7% higher than a year ago. Others search the economic data for signs of the forthcoming AI job-loss, saying young graduates are now more likely than the average worker to be jobless. Well, no. American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low. As we examine American data on employment by occupation, we pick out workers believed to be vulnerable (易受影响的) to AI. These are white-collar employees, including people in back-office support, financial operations, sales and much more besides. We find that over the past year the employment in white-collar work has risen slightly. Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%. Wage growth is still reasonably strong, which goes against the concern that AI is causing demand for labor to fall. And, outside America, earnings growth in many countries also remains strong. There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go. That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic. 8. What fuels people’s fear of being unemployed? A. Limitations of human labor. B. Modern technological advances. C. Complexity of tasks in the AI era. D. Heavy workload in various fields. 9. Which chart best shows American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate? A. B. C. D. 10. Why does the author mention two reasons in paragraph 6? A. To cite the data sources. B. To identify the likelier reason. C. To further justify his prediction. D. To model valid research methods. 11. What’s probably the author’s attitude towards human employment? A. Puzzled. B. Alarmed. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了人工智能是否会导致人们失业，并通过数据和事实表明目前无需恐慌。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Today, AI models can do an astonishing variety of tasks from writing detailed reports to creating video on demand. Some people worry they will soon be surplus (过剩的) to requirements. But is AI actually putting anyone out of work?(如今，人工智能模型可以完成从撰写详细报告到按需创建视频等各种令人惊叹的任务。一些人担心他们很快就会过剩。但人工智能真的会让人们失业吗？)”可知，现代技术进步引发了人们对失业的恐惧。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“American young graduates’ relative unemployment rate, which is actual unemployment rate minus (减) national average unemployment rate, started to rise in 2009, long before generative AI came along. And their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%, remains low.(美国年轻毕业生的相对失业率（即实际失业率减去全国平均失业率）早在2009年就开始上升了，这远早于生成式人工智能出现的时间。而他们2025年的实际失业率约为6%，仍处于较低水平。)”和第五段中“Across the board, America’s national average unemployment rate (2025) remains low, at 4.2%.(整体来看，2025年美国全国平均失业率仍处于低位，仅为4.2%。)”可知：A 选项图表曲线在 2009 年前后开始明显上升，与“started to rise in 2009” 的时间拐点完全吻合；其纵轴刻度最高为 6%，2025 年曲线末端稳定在 5%–6% 区间，与“their actual unemployment rate (2025), at around 6%” 高度一致；且曲线全程位于 0 刻度以上，无负值，符合 “青年毕业生失业率长期高于全国平均水平” 的文意逻辑。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“There are two competing causes of these trends. First, despite the endless announcements about integrating AI into operations, few companies make much use of the technology for serious work. The second is that even when companies do adopt the tech, they do not let people go.(造成这些趋势有两个相互竞争的原因。首先，尽管不断有关于将人工智能融入运营的公告，但很少有公司将这项技术用于严肃的工作。其次，即使公司采用了这项技术，他们也不会解雇员工。)”以及最后一段“That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.(也就是说，不管是什么原因，目前都没有必要恐慌。)”可知，作者提到两个原因是为了进一步证明他的预测，即目前人工智能并未导致大量失业，无需恐慌。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“That said, whatever the cause, for now there is no need to panic.(也就是说，不管是什么原因，目前都没有必要恐慌。)”可知，作者认为目前没有必要对人工智能导致失业的问题感到恐慌，可推测出作者对人类就业持乐观态度。 D When a plant is stressed, it doesn’t keep quiet about it. You won’t hear the plant’s cry because it’s in the ultrasonic (超声的) range — too high-pitched for human ears — but, for decades, scientists have been using special devices to listen in. For the first time, a team of researchers in Israel has documented that insects can hear and interpret plants’ distress sounds. The research team recorded sounds from tomato and tobacco plants that were dehydrated (使脱水). The noise created was a result of changes in the plant’s water balance. During periods when the plants lack water, air bubbles form, expand and collapse in xylem tissues (木质部组织), which are responsible for distributing water from the roots, creating shaking and click-like sounds. In the study published in eLife, scientists tested Egyptian cotton leafworm moths (飞蛾). The researchers conducted a series of experiments where they observed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths detecting ultrasonic signals emitted by drought-stressed tomato plants. These subtle sounds help female moths choose where to lay their eggs. In one experiment, when there were no plants present, the female moths preferred the side where the sounds of stressed plants were played, indicating that the moths may have associated the sound with the presence of vegetation. However, when healthy plants were placed on two sides, where only one played the sound of distressed plant clicks, the moths chose to lay their eggs on the silent side. As part of the research, when the moths’ sense of hearing was removed, they no longer showed a preference for where to lay their eggs. This suggests that sound plays a key role when it comes to moths choosing the best environment for their eggs. The new discovery sheds light on the possibility of this invisible ecosystem. Professor Yossi Yovel called this “the first proof of animals responding to plant sounds”. Another expert Rya Seltzer added, “This is just the tip of the iceberg. Countless organisms hear these frequencies, and more plant sounds await discovery.” These “secret lives” of plants and moths aren’t just fascinating — they may also have real-world uses as scientists learn more. As scientists continue to tune in, much may still be waiting to be discovered, just beyond our perception. 12. What is the main finding of the Israeli research? A. Insects react to sounds from stressed plants. B. Moths lay their eggs based on plant sounds. C Dehydrated plants have more xylem tissues. D. Plants produce sounds human beings can’t hear. 13. Why did moths choose the silent side to lay their eggs? A. The moths preferred silence to noise. B. There were a larger number of healthy plants. C. The moths adjusted to the quiet environment. D. The silent side meant better survival chances. 14. What can be inferred about the significance of the new discovery? A. It confirms many stressed plants produce ultrasonic signals. B. It challenges the traditional view of plant and insect interactions. C. It proves plant sounds are the key factor in ecosystem balance. D. It explains why moths are more sensitive to sounds than other insects. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The “Secret Sounds” Between Plants and Insects B. How Moths Choose Places to Lay Their Eggs C. Why Drought Makes Tomato Plants “Click” D. Forests: The Quietest Ecosystem on Earth 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章是一篇说明文。主要介绍以色列团队首次证实昆虫能够“听见”并解读受压植物发出的超声波，并通过实验揭示植物与动物间存在人类难以察觉的“声音交流”。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“For the first time, a team of researchers in Israel has documented that insects can hear and interpret plants’ distress sounds. (以色列一个研究团队首次记录到昆虫能够听见并解读植物受压时发出的声音。)”可知，以色列团队的主要发现是“昆虫能对受压植物的声音做出反应”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“However, when healthy plants were placed on two sides, where only one played the sound of distressed plant clicks, the moths chose to lay their eggs on the silent side. (然而，当两边都放有健康植株、仅一侧播放受压植株点击声时，雌蛾却把卵产在安静的一侧。)可知，雌蛾是把有声音判断为植株受压，无声音则表示植株健康，产卵时主动避开前者，是出于后代存活率考量，认定无声侧代表更佳生存环境。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段第三句“Professor Yossi Yovel called this “the first proof of animals responding to plant sounds” (Yossi Yovel教授称之为“动物对植物声音做出反应的首个证据”。)”可知，该发现首次把“植物声”纳入动物行为决策因素，打破了以往植物仅通过化学或视觉信号与昆虫互动的传统认知。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章以“植物受压发出超声波与昆虫能听见并据此行动”这一新发现为主线，第一段主要讲述受压植物会发出人耳听不到的超声波。第二段主要内容为以色列研究首次证实昆虫能听见并解读植物的这种求救声。第三、四段表明雌蛾会利用干旱胁迫下植物发出的声音来选择产卵地点以利于后代生存。第五段写该发现揭示了隐秘的生态系统，具有巨大探索潜力。全文始终围绕植物与昆虫之间的“隐秘声波通讯”展开，选项A“植物与昆虫之间的‘隐秘声波通讯’”。最能准确涵盖这一主旨，适合作标题。故选A项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The high-speed trap is a good example of how serious sport can make physical activity less enjoyable.

Mary’s mom commented quietly that the delay seemed to have ruined everyone’s mood. But eleven-year-old Mary stayed calm, softly humming (哼) a new song she had just learned. She was looking forward to the weekend trip to visit her grandparents, excited to share the song with them. To her, music was like an invisible string that could tie strangers together, creating a warm community. She remembered the first time she had felt this connection: at six years old, waiting for the bus with her mom on a hot, boring day. Then a cheerful tune came from a store loudspeaker—a song about a girl and her dreams: “Dreams of sunshine and fields of gold, Where the heart is never old, Singing songs that never end, In a world that’s my best friend...” Without thinking, Mary sang along—her voice soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The melody was simple yet engaging. Time passed without her noticing. When the bus arrived, passengers smiled; an old man beat his walking stick to the beat. As the doors closed, everyone was humming. Mom whispered to her, “You just lifted all our spirits.” Nothing seemed better than music for calming a restless heart, and Mary remembered that. After boarding the plane, the passengers were told of another weather delay— at least another 45minutes. The cabin (机舱) grew tense with restless movements and complaints. Then a sudden cry cut through the air. Across the aisle (通道) to Mary’s left, a tiny girl, barely three years old, began to cry. Her mother tried everything—rocking her, offering snacks, water, toys—but nothing worked. The child’s face was wet with tears, her cries loud and broken. Passengers shifted uncomfortably in their seats as the crying filled the cabin. 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。 Paragraph 1: Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Mary hesitated for a moment, and then turned to her mom. She asked if she could sing for the baby. Mom smiled and nodded in agreement. Encouraged, Mary gently asked the mother if she could sing for the baby. The mother, clearly exhausted after trying everything she could, nodded gratefully. Mary took a deep breath and began to sing. Her voice was soft and gentle at first, like a whisper carried on the gentle wind, which gradually growing stronger and more confident. The song was simple yet engaging. She sang of sunshine and dreams, which was easy to catch. Slowly, the baby’s cries softened. Her little body relaxed as Mary’s gentle voice filled the air. The song was simple, yet it seemed to weave a calming spell over the cabin. The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody. The mother’s tense expression eased, and she gave Mary a grateful smile. As the song reached its end, everyone clapped with cheers, which turned the boring and annoying delay into a musical feast. Mary’s mom leaned over and whispered, “You did it again, lifting all our spirits.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了11岁的玛丽和妈妈在机场候机，航班因天气原因多次延误，乘客们心情烦躁。登机后，机舱内一个小女孩哭闹不止，妈妈尝试多种方法都无法安抚。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛丽犹豫了一下，然后转向了妈妈”可知，第一段可描写玛丽犹豫后询问妈妈能否为小女孩唱歌，妈妈同意，玛丽又征得小女孩妈妈同意后开始唱歌，歌声由轻柔逐渐变得自信，歌曲简单且吸引人。 ②由第二段首句内容“慢慢地，婴儿的哭声缓和了下来”可知，第二段可描写小女孩在玛丽歌声的安抚下停止哭闹，其他原本烦躁的乘客也安静下来，小女孩妈妈露出感激的微笑，歌曲结束后大家鼓掌欢呼，玛丽再次用歌声振奋了大家的精神。 2.续写线索：玛丽询问妈妈——征得小女孩妈妈同意——开始唱歌——小女孩停止哭闹——乘客安静下来——妈妈感激——大家鼓掌欢呼 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage /motivate ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ③放松：relax /unwind 情绪类 ①疲惫的：exhausted/tired ②感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】【高分句型 1】She asked if she could sing for the baby.（运用了 if 引导的宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song, other passengers, who had been restless, began to quiet down, drawn into the soothing melody.（运用了独立主格结构 The baby stopping crying and the air filled with comforting song，以及who引导的非限定性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
