So when he lost his dad to cancer, he turned to the healing power of the ocean. At the start of this year, Fischer wrote his father’s name on his surfboard and took it out to sea in Newport, Rhode Island. His father’s name shone in the sun on what felt like a shared adventure. Inspired, Fischer made a video and posted it on social media on the same day. “If you love the ocean, or you know someone who loves the ocean, or maybe you lost someone who just loved being outdoors... you can comment on this video with their name and a bit of their story, and I’ll put their name on my board here, just like I’ve done with my father’s name,” he said in the video. “And I’ll take them out in the ocean for you.” Names poured in from thousands of strangers who felt sad because of the loss of their loved ones. And with that the One Last Wave Project was born, the aim of which was to exchange stories with a community of people going through similar pain. They were learning to heal together. About two months later, Fischer had received over 5.000 names and written most of them on two surfboards. The first two surfboards ran out of space — he was working on getting more. He wrote the names in neat letters on the surfboard and added a clear acrylic (丙烯酸的) coat over them so that they didn’t wash off. Though a lot of people have been struggling with grief in the pandemic, Fischer was amazed by the responses that had poured in. “If I am able to help one or more persons, that is enough for me,” he said. “But I am blown away — by not just the number of people sharing, but the depth of stories and love that they are sharing.” And he plans to take his project around the world and connect with even more people — through shared grief and the power of the ocean. 4. How did Fischer share his ideas with others? A. By giving a live broadcast online. B. By posting a video on the Internet. C. By writing his father’s name on his surfboard. D. By riding bikes along the coastline. 5. Why did Fischer start the One Last Wave Project? A. To help people out of sadness. B. To memorize his father. C. To gain more public attention. D. To fight against the pandemic. 6. What does Fischer intend to do next? A. Share more stories of his experience at sea. B. Extend the project worldwide. C. Connect to more social media. D. Sail around the world with more people. 7. What can we learn from Fischer’s story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A good beginning means a good ending. C. He who laughs last laughs loud. D. Sharing can help heal the pain. C As a young girl growing up in France, Sarah Toumi dreamed of becoming a leader who could make the world a better place. Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the seriousness of droughts have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a program named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the program to Algeria and Morocco. 8. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A. They helped her understand her father better. B. They made her determined to leave the country. C. They fired her enthusiasm for helping the locals. D. They made her dream of becoming a teacher. 9. What is the biggest threat to the farmland in Tunisia? A. Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution. C. Desertification. D. Chemicals. 10. Why did Toumi build Acacias for All? A. To create more jobs for the young people. B. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. C. To help more children gain a basic education. D. To facilitate the protection of the farmland. 11. Which of the following can best describe Toumi? A. Determined and modest. B. Responsible and honest. C. Eco-conscious and ambitious. D. Warm-hearted and generous. D A satellite the size of a microwave oven successfully broke free from its orbit around Earth on Monday and is headed toward the moon. It’s been an unusual journey already for the CAPSTONE satellite. It was launched six days ago from New Zealand by the company Rocket Lab in one of their rockets. With a small body, it will take another four months for the satellite to reach the moon, as it travels along using the smallest amount of energy. NASA put the total amount of money spent on the mission at only $32.7 million. “For just some tens of millions of dollars, there is now a rocket and a spacecraft that can take you to the moon, to asteroids, to Venus, to Mars,” Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck said. Beck said it was hard to put his excitement into words. “It’s probably going to take a while to sink in. It’s been a project that has taken us two and a half years and is just extremely difficult to execute,” he said. “So to see it all come together tonight and see that spacecraft on its way to the moon, it’s just absolutely impressive.” If the rest of the mission is successful, the CAPSTONE satellite will send back vital information for months as the first to take a new orbit around the moon: a stretched-out egg shape with one end of the orbit passing close to the moon and the other far from it. Because of the shape, the satellite can travel a relatively short distance to enter the orbit, only 1,000 miles away from the North Pole at its nearest pass to Earth every six and a half days. By taking advantage of the precise point between Earth and the moon where the gravity from both is a balanced out, the satellite can use less energy to maintain the orbit. Eventually, NASA plans to build a small space station orbiting the moon that will provide extensive capabilities to support the Artemis program, a program which is a renaming of several earlier activities NASA was already undertaking to send humans to the moon. For the mission, NASA teamed up with two commercial companies. 12. Why is the satellite designed to be small? A. To reduce the expenses. B. To take man to other planets. C. To break free from Earth’s orbit. D. To fit Rocket Lab’s small rocket. 13. How did Beck feel about the process of doing the project? A. It was very challenging. B. It was extremely satisfying. C. It was a bit disappointing. D. It was quite unexpected. 14. What is the advantage of the new orbit? A. It is round in shape. B. It saves the satellite fuel. C. It has balanced gravity. D. It is close to the moon at both ends. 15. What might be the goal of the Artemis program? A. Building a space station. B. Renaming several earlier activities. C. Sending man to the moon. D. Working with commercial companies. 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。 Running and walking both offer their own unique benefits and risks. Here is something you need to know about the pros and cons (利弊) of each type of exercise - and which is best for your health goals. ●Running is better for weight loss than walking. Both walking and running can help you lose weight. ____16____. A 2008 analysis found that people only lost small amounts of weight — about 0.1 pound per week — by walking. On the other hand, a large 2013 study found that people lost significantly more weight by running than walking. ●Walking is safer than running ____17____, it makes you face a greater risk of injury than walking. In fact, walking has less than a third of the injury risk of running. About 60% of runners will experience an injury that prevents them from doing the activity. ● ____18____ ? Overall, both walking and running can help you achieve the recommended amount of exercise. There is no right choice for which is better for your health. Rather, deciding between walking and running depends on your unique goals and risk factors. For example, if you are older or have joint problems, walking may be the better option for you. However, if you’re pressed for time, running might be the more practical choice. ●Try the run-walk-run method. The run-walk-run method involves alternating between running for a certain amount of time and walking for a set number of minutes. For example, you can run for two minutes and walk for one minute, or run for four minutes and walk for one minute. ____19____ After reading what is mentioned above, you may be able to choose the right type of exercise now. ____20____, what matters is that you make the time to exercise. It’s also important to always challenge yourself to be healthier. A. Then repeat the cycle B. Choose to walk or run C. How to keep a balance between them D. However, running may be the better choice E. Whether you favour walking, running, or both F. While both running and walking are beneficial for you G. Because running means you’re going at a relatively faster pace 第三部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45分） 第一节 完形填空（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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One summer day, Bella, our pet dog was in the bushes in our backyard making all sorts of noises.

I joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in my new class. I was the 42nd. All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She smiled in return. The class started and we didn’t talk until lunch time. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch. This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it’s pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill, so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one question that I shouldn’t have. “Is your mom not well?” In fact, I wasn’t prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn’t know what to do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom that my lunch wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it. My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I’d tell Kate that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please help me finish it? Then I asked her what her favorite dish was. “Naan,” she whispered. 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。 When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I moved out of that school soon after and didn’t stay in touch with Kate. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 海口市 2023～2024 学年第二学期 高二年级期末考试（英语） 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上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。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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 （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?

So when he lost his dad to cancer, he turned to the healing power of the ocean. At the start of this year, Fischer wrote his father’s name on his surfboard and took it out to sea in Newport, Rhode Island. His father’s name shone in the sun on what felt like a shared adventure. Inspired, Fischer made a video and posted it on social media on the same day. “If you love the ocean, or you know someone who loves the ocean, or maybe you lost someone who just loved being outdoors... you can comment on this video with their name and a bit of their story, and I’ll put their name on my board here, just like I’ve done with my father’s name,” he said in the video. “And I’ll take them out in the ocean for you.” Names poured in from thousands of strangers who felt sad because of the loss of their loved ones. And with that the One Last Wave Project was born, the aim of which was to exchange stories with a community of people going through similar pain. They were learning to heal together. About two months later, Fischer had received over 5.000 names and written most of them on two surfboards. The first two surfboards ran out of space — he was working on getting more. He wrote the names in neat letters on the surfboard and added a clear acrylic (丙烯酸的) coat over them so that they didn’t wash off. Though a lot of people have been struggling with grief in the pandemic, Fischer was amazed by the responses that had poured in. “If I am able to help one or more persons, that is enough for me,” he said. “But I am blown away — by not just the number of people sharing, but the depth of stories and love that they are sharing.” And he plans to take his project around the world and connect with even more people — through shared grief and the power of the ocean. 4. How did Fischer share his ideas with others? A. By giving a live broadcast online. B. By posting a video on the Internet. C. By writing his father’s name on his surfboard. D. By riding bikes along the coastline. 5. Why did Fischer start the One Last Wave Project? A. To help people out of sadness. B. To memorize his father. C. To gain more public attention. D. To fight against the pandemic. 6. What does Fischer intend to do next? A. Share more stories of his experience at sea. B. Extend the project worldwide. C. Connect to more social media. D. Sail around the world with more people. 7. What can we learn from Fischer’s story? A. Actions speak louder than words. B. A good beginning means a good ending. C. He who laughs last laughs loud. D. Sharing can help heal the pain. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7.

Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children. Toumi witnessed first-hand the destructive effect of desertification. “Within 10 years rich farmers became worse off, and in 10 years from now they will be poor. I wanted to stop the Sahara Desert in its tracks.” A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the seriousness of droughts have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification. Toumi recognized that farming practices needed to change. She is confident that small land areas can bring large returns if farmers are able to adapt by planting sustainable crops, using new technologies for water treatment and focusing on natural products and fertilizers rather than chemicals. In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a program named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action. “I want to show young people in rural areas that they can create opportunities where they are. Nobody is better able to understand the impact of desertification and climate change than somebody who is living with no access to water.” By September 2016, more than 130,000 acacia trees had been planted on 20 pilot farms, with farmers recording a 60 per cent survival rate. Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the program to Algeria and Morocco. 8. How did Toumi’s holiday trips to Tunisia influence her? A. They helped her understand her father better. B. They made her determined to leave the country. C. They fired her enthusiasm for helping the locals. D. They made her dream of becoming a teacher. 9. What is the biggest threat to the farmland in Tunisia? A. Low rainfall. B. Soil pollution. C. Desertification. D. Chemicals. 10. Why did Toumi build Acacias for All? A. To create more jobs for the young people. B. To persuade the farmers not to use fertilizers. C. To help more children gain a basic education. D. To facilitate the protection of the farmland. 11. Which of the following can best describe Toumi? A. Determined and modest. B. Responsible and honest. C. Eco-conscious and ambitious. D. Warm-hearted and generous. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要从小在法国长大的Sarah Toumi跟随父亲到突尼斯之后立志改变世界并身体力行阻止荒漠化进程的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Her passion to help others was awakened when, from the age of nine, she accompanied her Tunisian father to his birthplace in the east of the country during holidays. There she organized homework clubs and activities for children.(从9岁起，她就开始在假期陪伴她的突尼斯父亲去突尼斯东部的出生地，这激发了她帮助他人的热情。在那里，她为孩子们组织了家庭作业俱乐部和活动。)”可知，Toumi去突尼斯度假的经历激发了她帮助他人的热情。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A decrease in average rainfall and an increase in the seriousness of droughts have led to an estimated 75 per cent of Tunisia’s agricultural lands being threatened by desertification.(平均降雨量的减少和干旱严重程度的增加导致突尼斯约75%的农田受到沙漠化的威胁。)”可知，降水量的减少是突尼斯农田荒漠化的主要原因。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a program named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.(2012年，Toumi坚定了她与沙漠作战的梦想。她搬到了突尼斯，建立了一个名为Acacias for All的项目，将她的可持续农业哲学付诸实践。)”可推知，Toumi创建Acacias这个项目是为了将可持续性发展理念运用到实践当中，进而更好地保护耕地。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In 2012, Toumi consolidated her dream to fight the desert. She moved to Tunisia, and set up a program named Acacias for All to put her sustainable farming philosophy into action.( 2012年，Toumi坚定了她与沙漠作战的梦想。她搬到了突尼斯，建立了一个名为Acacias for All的项目，将她的可持续农业哲学付诸实践。)”和最后一段“Toumi estimates that some 3 million acacia trees are needed to protect Tunisia’s farmland. She expects to plant 1 million trees by 2018. In the next couple of years, Toumi hopes to extend the program to Algeria and Morocco.( Toumi预估，保护突尼斯农田大约需要300万棵金合欢树，她计划到2018年种下100万棵。未来几年，她还希望把这个项目推广到阿尔及利亚和摩洛哥。)”可推知，Toumi有环保意识并具有远大抱负。 D A satellite the size of a microwave oven successfully broke free from its orbit around Earth on Monday and is headed toward the moon. It’s been an unusual journey already for the CAPSTONE satellite. It was launched six days ago from New Zealand by the company Rocket Lab in one of their rockets. With a small body, it will take another four months for the satellite to reach the moon, as it travels along using the smallest amount of energy. NASA put the total amount of money spent on the mission at only $32.7 million. “For just some tens of millions of dollars, there is now a rocket and a spacecraft that can take you to the moon, to asteroids, to Venus, to Mars,” Rocket Lab founder Peter Beck said. Beck said it was hard to put his excitement into words. “It’s probably going to take a while to sink in. It’s been a project that has taken us two and a half years and is just extremely difficult to execute,” he said. “So to see it all come together tonight and see that spacecraft on its way to the moon, it’s just absolutely impressive.” If the rest of the mission is successful, the CAPSTONE satellite will send back vital information for months as the first to take a new orbit around the moon: a stretched-out egg shape with one end of the orbit passing close to the moon and the other far from it. Because of the shape, the satellite can travel a relatively short distance to enter the orbit, only 1,000 miles away from the North Pole at its nearest pass to Earth every six and a half days. By taking advantage of the precise point between Earth and the moon where the gravity from both is a balanced out, the satellite can use less energy to maintain the orbit. Eventually, NASA plans to build a small space station orbiting the moon that will provide extensive capabilities to support the Artemis program, a program which is a renaming of several earlier activities NASA was already undertaking to send humans to the moon. For the mission, NASA teamed up with two commercial companies. 12. Why is the satellite designed to be small? A. To reduce the expenses. B. To take man to other planets. C. To break free from Earth’s orbit. D. To fit Rocket Lab’s small rocket. 13. How did Beck feel about the process of doing the project? A. It was very challenging. B. It was extremely satisfying. C. It was a bit disappointing. D. It was quite unexpected. 14. What is the advantage of the new orbit? A. It is round in shape. B. It saves the satellite fuel. C. It has balanced gravity. D. It is close to the moon at both ends. 15. What might be the goal of the Artemis program? A. Building a space station. B. Renaming several earlier activities. C. Sending man to the moon. D. Working with commercial companies. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了本周一，一颗微波炉大小的卫星成功脱离绕地轨道，朝着月球飞去，并介绍了这颗卫星以及新轨道的一些情况。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“With a small body, it will take another four months for the satellite to reach the moon, as it travels along using the smallest amount of energy. NASA put it the total amount of money spent on the mission at only $32.7 million.(由于这颗卫星的身体很小，它还需要四个月的时间才能到达月球，因为它在飞行过程中消耗的能量最少。美国国家航空航天局表示，这项任务的总花费仅为3270万美元)”可知，卫星设计得很小是为了降低成本。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““It’s probably going to take a while to sink in. It’s been a project that has taken us two and a half years and is just extremely difficult to execute,” he said.(他表示：“这件事恐怕还需要一段时间才能缓过神来。这个项目我们耗时两年半才完成，整个实施过程难度极大。”)”可知，Beck认为项目开发过程极具挑战性。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“By taking advantage of the precise points between Earth and the moon where the gravity from both is balanced out, the satellite can use less energy to maintain the orbit.(通过利用地球和月球之间的精确点，卫星可以使用更少的能量来维持轨道)”可知，新轨道的优势是节省卫星燃料。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Eventually, NASA plans to build a small space station orbiting the moon that will provide extensive capabilities to support the Artemis program, a program which is a renaming of several earlier activities NASA was already undertaking to send humans to the moon.(最终，NASA计划在月球轨道上建造一个小型空间站，该空间站将提供广泛的能力来支持阿尔忒弥斯计划，该计划是NASA已经开展的将人类送上月球的几项早期活动的重新命名)”可知，阿尔忒弥斯计划的目标是把宇航员送上月球。 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。 Running and walking both offer their own unique benefits and risks. Here is something you need to know about the pros and cons (利弊) of each type of exercise - and which is best for your health goals. ●Running is better for weight loss than walking. Both walking and running can help you lose weight. ____16____. A 2008 analysis found that people only lost small amounts of weight — about 0.1 pound per week — by walking. On the other hand, a large 2013 study found that people lost significantly more weight by running than walking. ●Walking is safer than running ____17____, it makes you face a greater risk of injury than walking. In fact, walking has less than a third of the injury risk of running. About 60% of runners will experience an injury that prevents them from doing the activity. ● ____18____ ? Overall, both walking and running can help you achieve the recommended amount of exercise. There is no right choice for which is better for your health. Rather, deciding between walking and running depends on your unique goals and risk factors. For example, if you are older or have joint problems, walking may be the better option for you. However, if you’re pressed for time, running might be the more practical choice. ●Try the run-walk-run method. The run-walk-run method involves alternating between running for a certain amount of time and walking for a set number of minutes. For example, you can run for two minutes and walk for one minute, or run for four minutes and walk for one minute. ____19____ After reading what is mentioned above, you may be able to choose the right type of exercise now. ____20____, what matters is that you make the time to exercise. It’s also important to always challenge yourself to be healthier. A. Then repeat the cycle B. Choose to walk or run C. How to keep a balance between them D. However, running may be the better choice E. Whether you favour walking, running, or both F. While both running and walking are beneficial for you G. Because running means you’re going at a relatively faster pace 【答案】16. D 17. G 18. B 19. A 20.

I joined in the middle of the school year. There were 41 students in my new class. I was the 42nd. All my classmates sat in pairs except for this one girl, Kate. I went and sat down next to her and gave her a small, uncertain smile. She smiled in return. The class started and we didn’t talk until lunch time. At lunch time, I pulled out my lunch box, packed by my mother. It had fried rice with home-made cakes and a small box of fruits. Clearly my mom had spent time packing this yummy lunch. This girl took out a small box with bread butter inside. In India, it’s pretty rare for kids to just get bread butter for lunch. The only time I had bread butter for lunch was if my mom was unwell. So I thought that was what the problem here was. I offered her a small part of my lunch and forgot all about it. The next day, she again had bread butter. Well, I thought, her mother might have fallen ill, so she was taking time to recover. I again offered her a part of my lunch. This went on for a week. Then one day, I asked the one question that I shouldn’t have. “Is your mom not well?” In fact, I wasn’t prepared for the answer. Later, I knew that her mother, who worked in a supermarket, was in poor health. She constantly stayed at home with no income. I didn’t know what to do. So I did the most obvious thing. I went home and told my mom that my lunch wasn’t enough and I still felt hungry after eating it. My mom started packing a bigger lunch. And in school, I’d tell Kate that my mom had packed me a lunch too big, so could she please help me finish it? Then I asked her what her favorite dish was. “Naan,” she whispered. 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。 When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I moved out of that school soon after and didn’t stay in touch with Kate. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】When I told my mom that I wanted very much to have Naan, she felt puzzled. Naan was not a common dish in our household, and my mom wasn’t sure if she could prepare it, but she promised she would try. The next day, I was thrilled to find that my lunch box now contained a piece of Naan, and I eagerly shared it with Kate. Seeing her smiling face made me feel really happy inside. From that day on, my mom would occasionally pack some Indian delicacies for me to share with Kate, and I would be more than happy to do so. I moved out of that school soon after and didn't stay in touch with Kate. However, this experience taught me an important lesson about kindness and understanding. Often we judge people too quickly, without realizing their underlying struggles. While it may seem small, sharing my lunch with Kate helped me to connect with her on a deeper level and to understand her better. As I grew older, I would try to apply this lesson in my daily life – to be a little kinder, a little more empathetic, and a little more understanding of people's struggles. 【解析】 【导语】本文以回忆为线索，叙述了作者和同桌Kate相遇后，了解到她家庭情况后，决定与母亲一起帮助Kate的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当我告诉我妈妈我非常想要馕饼时，她感到困惑”可知，第一段可描写作者发现母亲给他准他了馕饼，并与Kate分享。 ②由第二段首句内容“不久之后，我就搬出了那所学校，没有和凯特保持联系”可知，第二段可描写作者对自己的经历的感悟。 2.续写线索：告诉母亲——看到馕饼——分享——搬出学校——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分享：share/divide/split ②准备：prepare/intend/draw up ③判断：judge/estimate/assess 情绪类 ①开心：happy/content/joyous ②激动：thrill/excit/amaze 【点睛】[高分句型1]Seeing her smiling face made me feel really happy inside. (动名词做主语) [高分句型2]As I grew older, I would try to apply this lesson in my daily life – to be a little kinder, a little more empathetic, and a little more understanding of people's struggles. （由As引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
