Here are four exciting middle-grade sci-fi novels where girls are the main characters, saving the day and solving mysteries. Grace Needs Space! by Benjamin A. Wilgus and Rii Abrego This graphic novel takes a fun turn on the classic summer road trip. Grace is super excited to go on a trip across the galaxy (银河系) with her mom. But things don’t go as planned. There are lots of problems along the way that threaten to ruin their vacation. Grace has to figure out how to fix things and make the trip fun again. The Care and Feeding of a Pet Black Hole by Michelle Cuevas Stella goes on a day trip to NASA and brings home a very unusual souvenir-a black hole that acts like a pet! At first, it seems fun because the black hole can suck up (吸收) anything. But then it sucks up Stella and her little brother.

B Leonard John’s cancer journey began with a problem related to his appendix (阑尾). During this time, his doctor discovered a spot on his lung. The surgeon urged John to get checked out immediately, but fear overtook him and he postponed further examination. About a month later, the surgeon followed up with him. “Did you go and get this taken care of?” the surgeon asked. John admitted he hadn’t. He made every excuse imaginable to avoid it because fear had him in its hold. Finally, the surgeon said, “I have a doctor. Give him a call.” That led John to Riverside, where he met Dr. Hamden. The first round of treatment John went through involved chemotherapy (化疗). Throughout this experience, he relied heavily on the support system around him. “The nurse at Riverside was a great source of comfort. Every time I saw her, we connected well. She helped me stay focused and positive.” John also realized that his fear gradually subsided as he became more involved in his treatment. “I look back and wonder why I wasn’t scared. I think it was because I trusted the people around me, especially Dr. Hamden.” After six months of intense chemotherapy, John was declared cancer-free. He shifted to a less-intense treatment plan. “Dr. Hamden told me straight up that without treatment, I had six months to live. His honesty helped me trust him completely,” John said. John also depended on his Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) community. With over seven years of sobriety (戒酒), he had learned important strategies for dealing with life’s challenges. “The AA group regularly organizes group activities where we share our experiences openly. When I was feeling low during chemotherapy, they would remind me of my strength in maintaining sobriety, and encouraged me to apply the same determination to fighting cancer. They kept me on track, helping me stay positive when the treatment got tough.” Throughout his cancer journey, John appreciated the expertise and warm nature of the staff at Riverside. “The staff here is absolutely amazing. They kept me focused and helped me manage the stress. Stress can do real damage, but I didn’t experience that at Riverside,” he said. 4. Why did John delay further examination at first? A. He was too busy to do it. B. He was scared of the result. C. He couldn’t afford the cost. D. He didn’t believe the doctor. 5. What does the underlined word “subsided” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Increased. B. Returned. C. Disappeared. D. Changed. 6. What is John’s attitude toward Dr. Hamden? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Sympathetic. 7. What role did the AA community play in John’s cancer journey? A. It recommended Dr. Hamden to him. B. It funded his chemotherapy. C. It taught him how to quit smoking. D. It provided emotional and social support. C A robotic glove that helps piano players move their fingers faster has surprised scientists. Professional musicians who struggled with difficult musical patterns found their skills improved after training with the special device, according to a study published in Science Robotics. Shinichi Furuya, a former pianist who became a researcher in Tokyo, led the experiment. He got the idea after suffering hand injuries from over-practicing. “I wondered if technology could help musicians learn without harming their hands,” he explained. The team created a mechanical hand that fits over a person’s fingers. When 60 skilled piano players tested it, something amazing happened. Those who used the robotic hand to practice complex finger movements at high speeds could later play 6% faster than before — even without the device. Surprisingly, their untrained left hands also improved, though only the right hands used the device. Nicholas Hatsopoulos, a brain scientist from Chicago, called the result “super cool”. He thinks the device changes how the brain handles movement. When the glove-like robot moves fingers, it activates different brain areas than when people move their own fingers. These brain connections might explain why both hands benefited. The effects lasted about a day. Furuya believes using the device regularly could maintain improvements. “This is still an early model,” he noted, adding that future versions might help surgeons, athletes or video game players master precise hand motions. During testing, musicians described an unusual feeling. “All the pianists started laughing when they tried it,” Furuya said. “But when they saw it worked, they got excited.” The robot only moves fingers downward currently, but researchers plan to make more advanced models. The study also revealed how practice changes our brains. Normally, repeating actions strengthens motor skills. The robot appears to offer a shortcut by combining physical movement with sensory feedback. As Hatsopoulos explained, “It’s like teaching your hands a new language of motion.” While traditional practice remains important, this technology could make learning difficult skills less repetitive. “Musicians might save time on technical drills and focus more on creativity,” Furuya suggested. For now, the robotic glove stays in the lab, but its success promises a bright future where technology and human talent work in harmony. 8. What inspired Shinichi Furuya to create the robotic glove? A. His dream of helping athletes. B. His research on disabled patients. C. His desire to improve game skills. D. His experience of hand injuries. 9. What can we learn about the participants in the experiment? A. They benefited from the robotic glove. B. They relied heavily on the robotic glove. C. They preferred traditional practice methods. D. They mastered difficult musical patterns easily. 10. What does Nicholas Hatsopoulos think of the device used in the experiment? A. It helps kids learn a new language. B. It has limited functions for athletes. C. It is too complex for musicians to use. D. It offers a new way to train the brain. 11. What can we infer from the text? A. The robotic glove has some side effects. B. The robotic glove may have wider uses. C. Scientists will stop developing the robotic glove. D. Scientists have finished testing the robotic glove. D The survival of Gila monsters — large lizards (蜥蜴) native to North America’s deserts — is at risk as rising temperatures transform the Mojave Desert. Scientists warn these creatures, known for their unique poison used in diabetes (糖尿病) research, may become extinct unless conservation efforts intensify. Researchers led by Steve Hromada analyzed five years of sighting data across four US states. By comparing these records with climate patterns, they predicted that by 2082, over 35% of the Mojave’s suitable habitats could disappear under high-emission conditions. Lower desert areas, where summer temperatures often go beyond 38℃, may become too hot for survival. To cope with tough conditions, Gila monsters adjust their behavior. They become active at night during the summer and hide underground to seek shade during the day. However, even these strategies may fail as ground temperatures rise. Experts note the lizards prefer environments below 34℃, and prolonged heatwaves could push them beyond their limits. Higher elevations, such as mountain foothills, might offer cooler shelters. But relocating poses challenges. These lizards rarely travel more than 3 km from their home ranges, and rocky ground limits their movement. Human development, including roads and towns, further blocks their paths. Even if they reach new areas, food shortages could occur. Gila monsters rely on eggs and small animals, which might decline during droughts linked to climate change. About 90% of their Mojave habitat lies on protected public lands, including national parks like Death Valley. Preserving these areas from mining and urban expansion is critical. Maintaining natural pathways between habitats could help the lizards migrate (迁移) gradually. The Gil a monster’s struggle reflects a global issue. Desert species worldwide face reducing habitats as temperatures rise. Their decline could upset ecosystems, as these lizards help control rodent (啮齿动物) populations and spread seeds through their droppings. As climate change speeds up, balancing human activity with wildlife needs will determine whether these ancient creatures survive to inspire future medical discoveries. 12. How do Gila monsters adapt to the tough conditions? A. By shifting to nighttime activity in summer. B. By staying underground all year round. C. By moving to higher and cooler regions. D. By hiding themselves in human-provided shelters. 13. Why is relocating to mountain foothills difficult for Gila monsters? A. Mountain foothills lack water resources. B. Rocky ground restricts their long-range movement. C. Their poison becomes unstable in cooler climates. D. Mountain foothills are occupied by other competitive species. 14. What does the author want to stress by mentioning rodents? A. The dependence of Gila monsters on rodents. B. The changes in rodent populations in deserts. C. The significance of Gila monsters in ecosystems. D. The competition between rodents and Gila monsters. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Rising Temperatures Transform Desert Ecosystems B. Conservation Efforts Protect Mojave Desert Habitats C. Gila Monsters Face Climate Threats in Mojave Desert D. Gila Monsters’ Unique Poison Drives Medical Research 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。 Advice to the Hard-working Girl You are not a superwoman.

As we drafted a menu, they asked about my family’s traditions. “We always have a big turkey,” I said, closing my eyes. “Mom bakes it with butter, and it’s so juicy.” “We should cook a turkey together!” Maria said, clapping her hands. Juanita nodded eagerly. “My family never made turkey at Christmas. This will be an adventure!” My heart sank. I’d never roasted a turkey before. Mom always handled it, and I’d survived college on microwave meals. What if I ruined Christmas? “Don’t worry,” Juanita said. “We’ll learn as a team. ” That night, we gathered on the sofa, with laptops open. Maria searched for Latin American spices (香料) , Juanita studied her aunt’s secret sauce (酱料) recipe, and I looked through cooking blogs for roasting tips. We created a detailed to-do list, assigning tasks like shopping, decorating and sauce-making. On the morning of Christmas Eve, our “turkey hunt” began. The first store had only frozen ones, and the fresh turkeys at the second were really expensive. “This is our last chance,” I said, struggling to carry a12-pounder to the register. On the way home, we picked up colorful paper, shining string lights, and extra supplies for side dishes. In the kitchen, memories of Mom making turkey flooded my mind. I could still picture her standing in our kitchen back in Detroit, her hands skillfully moving as she prepared the turkey. I reached for the butter, just like I’d seen her do countless times, and gently spread it under the turkey’s skin. Then, following the steps I’d memorized, I stuffed the turkey with onions, copying the precise way Mom always did. Just as I finished, Maria came over with a small bowl. She surprised us by brushing the turkey with a mixture of orange juice and honey. “My grandma used to do this,” she said. “It’ll make the skin more delicious.” Finally, we placed the turkey into the oven (烤箱) with hopeful smiles and went to get the living room ready for Christmas. 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。 However, caught up in decorating the living room, we forgot the timer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we carried the turkey to the living room and placed it on the table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 考生注意： 1. 本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2. 答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3. 考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4. 本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第三册Unit3~选择性必修第四册Unit1。 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

The surgeon urged John to get checked out immediately, but fear overtook him and he postponed further examination. About a month later, the surgeon followed up with him. “Did you go and get this taken care of?” the surgeon asked. John admitted he hadn’t. He made every excuse imaginable to avoid it because fear had him in its hold. Finally, the surgeon said, “I have a doctor. Give him a call.” That led John to Riverside, where he met Dr. Hamden. The first round of treatment John went through involved chemotherapy (化疗). Throughout this experience, he relied heavily on the support system around him. “The nurse at Riverside was a great source of comfort. Every time I saw her, we connected well. She helped me stay focused and positive.” John also realized that his fear gradually subsided as he became more involved in his treatment. “I look back and wonder why I wasn’t scared. I think it was because I trusted the people around me, especially Dr. Hamden.” After six months of intense chemotherapy, John was declared cancer-free. He shifted to a less-intense treatment plan. “Dr. Hamden told me straight up that without treatment, I had six months to live. His honesty helped me trust him completely,” John said. John also depended on his Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) community. With over seven years of sobriety (戒酒), he had learned important strategies for dealing with life’s challenges. “The AA group regularly organizes group activities where we share our experiences openly. When I was feeling low during chemotherapy, they would remind me of my strength in maintaining sobriety, and encouraged me to apply the same determination to fighting cancer. They kept me on track, helping me stay positive when the treatment got tough.” Throughout his cancer journey, John appreciated the expertise and warm nature of the staff at Riverside. “The staff here is absolutely amazing. They kept me focused and helped me manage the stress. Stress can do real damage, but I didn’t experience that at Riverside,” he said. 4. Why did John delay further examination at first? A. He was too busy to do it. B. He was scared of the result. C. He couldn’t afford the cost. D. He didn’t believe the doctor. 5. What does the underlined word “subsided” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Increased. B. Returned. C. Disappeared. D. Changed. 6. What is John’s attitude toward Dr. Hamden? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Unconcerned. D. Sympathetic. 7. What role did the AA community play in John’s cancer journey? A. It recommended Dr. Hamden to him. B. It funded his chemotherapy. C. It taught him how to quit smoking. D. It provided emotional and social support. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了Leonard John的抗癌经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“The surgeon urged John to get checked out immediately, but fear overtook him and he postponed further examination.(外科医生敦促John立即去做检查，但恐惧笼罩着他，他推迟了进一步的检查)” 以及 “He made every excuse imaginable to avoid it because fear had him in its hold.(他想出了能想到的各种借口来逃避这件事，因为恐惧紧紧地控制住了他。)” 可知，John 起初推迟进一步检查是因为害怕检查结果。故选B。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“John also realized that his fear gradually subsided as he became more involved in his treatment. “I look back and wonder why I wasn’t scared.(John 也意识到，随着他越来越积极参与治疗，他的恐惧subsided 。“我回顾过去，奇怪自己为什么不害怕了”)” 可知，John 后来不害怕了，所以推测“subsided”意思是“消失”。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I think it was because I trusted the people around me, especially Dr. Hamden.(我想这是因为我信任身边的人，尤其是Hamden医生)” 以及第四段““Dr. Hamden told me straight up that without treatment, I had six months to live. His honesty helped me trust him completely,” John said.(John 说：“Hamden 医生直截了当地告诉我，如果不接受治疗，我只能活六个月。他的坦诚让我完全信任他”）” 可知，John对Hamden医生的态度是积极的，信任他。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The AA group regularly organizes group activities where we share our experiences openly. When I was feeling low during chemotherapy, they would remind me of my strength in maintaining sobriety, and encouraged me to apply the same determination to fighting cancer. They kept me on track, helping me stay positive when the treatment got tough.(戒酒互助会定期组织团体活动，我们在活动中公开分享经历。在化疗期间我情绪低落时，他们会提醒我在保持戒酒方面的毅力，并鼓励我将同样的决心用于抗癌。当治疗艰难时，他们让我坚持下去，帮助我保持积极的心态)” 可知，戒酒互助会在John抗癌过程中提供了情感和社交支持。故选D。 C A robotic glove that helps piano players move their fingers faster has surprised scientists. Professional musicians who struggled with difficult musical patterns found their skills improved after training with the special device, according to a study published in Science Robotics. Shinichi Furuya, a former pianist who became a researcher in Tokyo, led the experiment. He got the idea after suffering hand injuries from over-practicing. “I wondered if technology could help musicians learn without harming their hands,” he explained. The team created a mechanical hand that fits over a person’s fingers. When 60 skilled piano players tested it, something amazing happened. Those who used the robotic hand to practice complex finger movements at high speeds could later play 6% faster than before — even without the device. Surprisingly, their untrained left hands also improved, though only the right hands used the device. Nicholas Hatsopoulos, a brain scientist from Chicago, called the result “super cool”. He thinks the device changes how the brain handles movement. When the glove-like robot moves fingers, it activates different brain areas than when people move their own fingers. These brain connections might explain why both hands benefited. The effects lasted about a day. Furuya believes using the device regularly could maintain improvements. “This is still an early model,” he noted, adding that future versions might help surgeons, athletes or video game players master precise hand motions. During testing, musicians described an unusual feeling. “All the pianists started laughing when they tried it,” Furuya said. “But when they saw it worked, they got excited.” The robot only moves fingers downward currently, but researchers plan to make more advanced models. The study also revealed how practice changes our brains. Normally, repeating actions strengthens motor skills. The robot appears to offer a shortcut by combining physical movement with sensory feedback. As Hatsopoulos explained, “It’s like teaching your hands a new language of motion.” While traditional practice remains important, this technology could make learning difficult skills less repetitive. “Musicians might save time on technical drills and focus more on creativity,” Furuya suggested. For now, the robotic glove stays in the lab, but its success promises a bright future where technology and human talent work in harmony. 8. What inspired Shinichi Furuya to create the robotic glove? A. His dream of helping athletes. B. His research on disabled patients. C. His desire to improve game skills. D. His experience of hand injuries. 9. What can we learn about the participants in the experiment? A. They benefited from the robotic glove. B. They relied heavily on the robotic glove. C. They preferred traditional practice methods. D. They mastered difficult musical patterns easily. 10. What does Nicholas Hatsopoulos think of the device used in the experiment? A. It helps kids learn a new language. B. It has limited functions for athletes. C. It is too complex for musicians to use. D. It offers a new way to train the brain. 11. What can we infer from the text? A. The robotic glove has some side effects. B. The robotic glove may have wider uses. C. Scientists will stop developing the robotic glove. D. Scientists have finished testing the robotic glove. 【答案】8.

Scientists warn these creatures, known for their unique poison used in diabetes (糖尿病) research, may become extinct unless conservation efforts intensify. Researchers led by Steve Hromada analyzed five years of sighting data across four US states. By comparing these records with climate patterns, they predicted that by 2082, over 35% of the Mojave’s suitable habitats could disappear under high-emission conditions. Lower desert areas, where summer temperatures often go beyond 38℃, may become too hot for survival. To cope with tough conditions, Gila monsters adjust their behavior. They become active at night during the summer and hide underground to seek shade during the day. However, even these strategies may fail as ground temperatures rise. Experts note the lizards prefer environments below 34℃, and prolonged heatwaves could push them beyond their limits. Higher elevations, such as mountain foothills, might offer cooler shelters. But relocating poses challenges. These lizards rarely travel more than 3 km from their home ranges, and rocky ground limits their movement. Human development, including roads and towns, further blocks their paths. Even if they reach new areas, food shortages could occur. Gila monsters rely on eggs and small animals, which might decline during droughts linked to climate change. About 90% of their Mojave habitat lies on protected public lands, including national parks like Death Valley. Preserving these areas from mining and urban expansion is critical. Maintaining natural pathways between habitats could help the lizards migrate (迁移) gradually. The Gil a monster’s struggle reflects a global issue. Desert species worldwide face reducing habitats as temperatures rise. Their decline could upset ecosystems, as these lizards help control rodent (啮齿动物) populations and spread seeds through their droppings. As climate change speeds up, balancing human activity with wildlife needs will determine whether these ancient creatures survive to inspire future medical discoveries. 12. How do Gila monsters adapt to the tough conditions? A. By shifting to nighttime activity in summer. B. By staying underground all year round. C. By moving to higher and cooler regions. D. By hiding themselves in human-provided shelters. 13. Why is relocating to mountain foothills difficult for Gila monsters? A. Mountain foothills lack water resources. B. Rocky ground restricts their long-range movement. C. Their poison becomes unstable in cooler climates. D. Mountain foothills are occupied by other competitive species. 14. What does the author want to stress by mentioning rodents? A. The dependence of Gila monsters on rodents. B. The changes in rodent populations in deserts. C. The significance of Gila monsters in ecosystems. D. The competition between rodents and Gila monsters. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Rising Temperatures Transform Desert Ecosystems B. Conservation Efforts Protect Mojave Desert Habitats C. Gila Monsters Face Climate Threats in Mojave Desert D. Gila Monsters’ Unique Poison Drives Medical Research 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了北美沙漠的吉拉毒蜥因气温上升面临生存危机，分析了其应对困境的方式及迁移的困难，强调了保护其栖息地的重要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To cope with tough conditions, Gila monsters adjust their behavior. They become active at night during the summer and hide underground to seek shade during the day. (为了应对恶劣的环境，吉拉毒蜥会调整它们的行为。它们在夏天的夜晚变得活跃，白天则躲在地下寻找阴凉处。)”可知，吉拉毒蜥通过在夏天转变为夜间活动来适应恶劣环境。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“These lizards rarely travel more than 3 km from their home ranges, and rocky ground limits their movement. (这些蜥蜴很少会离开它们的栖息地超过3公里，而且岩石地面限制了它们的行动。)”可知，迁移到山麓对吉拉毒蜥来说困难的原因是岩石地面限制了它们的长距离移动。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“Their decline could upset ecosystems, as these lizards help control rodent (啮齿动物) populations and spread seeds through their droppings. (它们数量的减少可能会破坏生态系统，因为这些蜥蜴有助于控制啮齿动物的数量，并通过它们的粪便传播种子。)”可知，吉拉毒蜥有助于控制啮齿动物的数量，维持生态平衡。所以作者提到啮齿动物是为了强调吉拉毒蜥在生态系统中的重要性。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段中“The survival of Gila monsters — large lizards (蜥蜴) native to North America’s deserts — is at risk as rising temperatures transform the Mojave Desert. (随着气温上升改变了莫哈韦沙漠，原产于北美沙漠的大型蜥蜴——吉拉毒蜥的生存面临危险。)”可知，本文主要讲述了吉拉毒蜥在莫哈韦沙漠面临气候威胁。故C项“Gila Monsters Face Climate Threats in Mojave Desert (吉拉毒蜥在莫哈韦沙漠面临气候威胁)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选C项。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Advice to the Hard-working Girl You are not a superwoman.

As we drafted a menu, they asked about my family’s traditions. “We always have a big turkey,” I said, closing my eyes. “Mom bakes it with butter, and it’s so juicy.” “We should cook a turkey together!” Maria said, clapping her hands. Juanita nodded eagerly. “My family never made turkey at Christmas. This will be an adventure!” My heart sank. I’d never roasted a turkey before. Mom always handled it, and I’d survived college on microwave meals. What if I ruined Christmas? “Don’t worry,” Juanita said. “We’ll learn as a team. ” That night, we gathered on the sofa, with laptops open. Maria searched for Latin American spices (香料) , Juanita studied her aunt’s secret sauce (酱料) recipe, and I looked through cooking blogs for roasting tips. We created a detailed to-do list, assigning tasks like shopping, decorating and sauce-making. On the morning of Christmas Eve, our “turkey hunt” began. The first store had only frozen ones, and the fresh turkeys at the second were really expensive. “This is our last chance,” I said, struggling to carry a12-pounder to the register. On the way home, we picked up colorful paper, shining string lights, and extra supplies for side dishes. In the kitchen, memories of Mom making turkey flooded my mind. I could still picture her standing in our kitchen back in Detroit, her hands skillfully moving as she prepared the turkey. I reached for the butter, just like I’d seen her do countless times, and gently spread it under the turkey’s skin. Then, following the steps I’d memorized, I stuffed the turkey with onions, copying the precise way Mom always did. Just as I finished, Maria came over with a small bowl. She surprised us by brushing the turkey with a mixture of orange juice and honey. “My grandma used to do this,” she said. “It’ll make the skin more delicious.” Finally, we placed the turkey into the oven (烤箱) with hopeful smiles and went to get the living room ready for Christmas. 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。 However, caught up in decorating the living room, we forgot the timer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Then we carried the turkey to the living room and placed it on the table. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 However, caught up in decorating the living room, we forgot the timer. When the smoke alarm went off, the turkey’s skin was slightly blackened. “No!” I panicked, feeling like our first shared Christmas would be ruined. But Maria quickly grabbed a knife, her eyes steady. “We can just cut off the burnt bits and it’ll still be delicious,” she said, cutting them away. Juanita joined in, waving her spicy sauce. “With this, even cardboard would taste great!” Their laughter melted my anxiety. I added herbs and orange slices, turning the turkey into a colorful centerpiece. Then we carried the turkey to the living room and placed it on the table. The plates were already waiting, along with glasses filled with fresh juice. The moment I cut into the turkey, steam rose, revealing tender, butter-kissed meat. Maria poured her honey-orange mixture over the slices, while Juanita’s sauce added a spicy kick. As we passed the turkey plate around, sharing bites and stories, the burnt edges became a source of laughter. The imperfect turkey, born from our combined efforts, tasted like home — a reminder that Christmas isn’t about perfection, but the warmth of shared moments with friends. 【解析】 【导语】本文以三个室友共同准备圣诞火鸡的温情经历为线索，讲述了作者因怀念母亲烤火鸡的传统而内心忐忑，但在室友们的鼓励与协作中，她们共同采购食材、融合各自家庭秘方，最终合作完成了火鸡的烤制准备工作，为圣诞庆祝营造了温馨氛围的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写火鸡烤焦的意外发生，三人慌乱后迅速协作补救，通过切掉焦黑部分、添加酱料和装饰，将火鸡重新打造成美观的菜肴。 ②由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写三人围坐分享火鸡，品尝到融合各自家乡风味的独特味道，感悟到圣诞节的真谛在于朋友间共同创造的温暖回忆，而非菜肴的完美。 2. 续写线索：警报响起——发现烤焦——协作补救——装盘上桌——分享品尝——感悟真谛 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①切掉：cut off/trim away ②抓起：grab/snatch 情绪类： ①惊慌失措：panic/freak out ②焦虑：anxiety/worry  【点睛】[高分句型1] When the smoke alarm went off, the turkey’s skin was slightly blackened.
