He played six pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded（鼓掌）, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 4. Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing? A. People were in a hurry. B. They were not interested in music. C. It was too cold in the subway. D. The performance was not good enough. 5. What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist? A. They would applaud for the performance. B. They would urge them to continue walking. C. They would stop to enjoy the music. D. They would give him some money. 6. Why did Joshua Bell play in the metro station? A. To make more money. B. To practise his skills in playing music. C. To made an advertisement for his concert. D. To find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance. 7. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To tell us the importance of music. B. To show us how to play music. C. To set us to think about our life. D. To report a subway performance. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。通过记叙一次社会实验以及结论，告诉人们需要停下来思考生活，否则会错过很多东西。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。由文第二段最后一句“They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule.”（他们停留了几分钟，然后就匆忙投入到自己日常繁忙的行程中）可知，人们很匆忙，故选A项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。由文第三段最后一句“All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.”（无一例外，所有的父亲都逼着孩子离开）可知，父母催促孩子离开，故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。由前六段叙述了人们的反应以及由第七段最后一句“Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment.”（Joshua Bell在地铁拉小提琴是华盛顿邮报组织的一次社会实验的一部分）可知，约书亚·贝尔会在地铁站表演是为了看看人们在这种情况下的反应，故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。由文最后一段“One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?”（实验的一个可能的结论之一是：如果我们无法停留片刻去听世界上最好的小提琴家之一演奏有史以来最好的音乐，我们会错过多少其他的东西呢？）可知，作者想要表达的是人们需要停下来思考生活，否则会错过很多东西，故选C项。 C Ants have the ability to smell cancerous cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca has a well developed sense of smell. It was able to differentiate (区分) cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed. To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that ants discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous lines. After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect volatile organic compounds given off by cancerous cells. This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, CNRS points out in a news release. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancerous cells. “Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive, and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell volatiles,” the team explained, “our approach could potentially be adapted to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of narcotics, explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.” But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better than dogs when it comes to locating cancerous cells in humans. Who knows? Let’s wait and see. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of ants’potential use in cancer diagnosis? A. By comparing ants to dogs. B. By presenting the results of a new study. C. By describing the training process of ants. D. By discussing the history of cancer diagnosis. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process of the research. B. The reason of the research. C. The limitation of the research. D. The conclusion of the research. 10. What can we infer about the use of ants in cancer diagnosis? A. Ants have already been used in clinical settings. B. Ants’ noses are more sensitive than dogs’ noses. C. Ants may become a cost-effective diagnostic tool. D. Ants will replace dogs in cancer detection entirely. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of ants in cancer diagnosis? A. Doubtful B. Negative C. Objective D. Indifferent. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了法国国家科学研究中心的研究人员发现，蚂蚁能够通过嗅觉区分人类的癌细胞和健康细胞，这表明蚂蚁未来可能被用于癌症诊断。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Ants have the ability to smell cancerous cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. (一项新的研究发现，蚂蚁能够嗅出人类体内的癌细胞，这表明它们未来可能被用于癌症诊断)”可知，第一段通过展示一项新研究的结果来引出蚂蚁在癌症诊断中的潜在用途这一话题。故选B。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells. (为了进行研究，科学家们在实验室环境下对 36 只蚂蚁进行了细胞嗅探测试。首先，专家们让蚂蚁闻了闻一个人类癌细胞样本的气味。然后，这种气味与糖溶液的奖励联系在一起。在第二步中，研究人员让蚂蚁接触两种不同的气味。一种是新的气味，另一种是癌细胞的气味。一旦这个测试成功，研究人员就会让蚂蚁接触不同的癌细胞)”可知，文章第二段主要介绍了研究人员是如何进行研究的，即研究的过程。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, CNRS points out in a news release. (法国国家科学研究中心在一份新闻稿中指出，这项首次研究表明，蚂蚁具有很大的潜力，能够快速学习，成本较低，而且效率很高)”和文章第四段““Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive, and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell volatiles,” the team explained. (“狗的鼻子非常适合医学诊断。然而，训练它们这样做需要几个月到一年的时间。因此，蚂蚁代表了一种快速、高效、廉价和高判别力的检测工具，用于检测癌细胞挥发物，”研究小组解释说)”可知，蚂蚁可能成为一种经济有效的诊断工具。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better than dogs when it comes to locating cancerous cells in humans. Who knows? Let’s wait and see.(但研究小组表示，在它们被用于医院等临床环境之前，还必须进行更多的临床试验。他们认为在未来，蚂蚁在定位人类癌细胞方面可能会比狗更好。谁知道呢？让我们拭目以待)”可知，作者对蚂蚁在癌症诊断中的应用持客观态度。故选C。 D The new stretchy (有弹性的) electronic skin, developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, solves a major bottleneck in the emerging technology. Existing e-skin technology loses sensing accuracy (传感精度) as the material stretches (拉伸), but that is not the case with this new version. E-skin technology senses pressure from contact, letting the attached machine know how much force to use to, for example, grab a cup or touch a person. But, when traditional e-skin is stretched, it also senses that deformation. That reading creates additional noise that skews (使有误差) the sensors’ ability to sense the pressure. That could lead to a robot using too much force to grab something. “As human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so too does e-skin,” said Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering who led the project. “No matter how much our e-skin stretches, the pressure response doesn’t change, and that is a significant achievement.” Lu envisages the stretchy e-skin as a key component to a robot hand capable of the same level of softness and sensitivity (灵敏度) in touch as a human hand. This could be applied to medical care, where robots could check a patient’s pulse, wipe a body or massage a body part. Why is a robot nurse or physical therapist necessary? Around the world, millions of people are aging and are in need of care, more than the global medical system can provide. “In the future, if we have more elderly people than available caregivers, it’s going to be a crisis worldwide,” Lu said. “We need to find new ways to take care of people efficiently and also gently, and robots are an important piece of that puzzle.” Beyond medicine, human-caring robots could be deployed in disasters. They could search for injured and trapped people in an earthquake or a collapsed building, for example, and apply on-the-spot care, such as administering CPR (心肺复苏术). 12. What’s the problem of the traditional e-skin? A. Poor control of force. B. Low levels of softness. C. Misjudgments of distance. D. Loud noise of the machine. 13. What does the underlined word “envisages” in the third paragraph mean? A. Imagines. B. Monitors. C. Improves. D. Tests. 14. What makes Lu think robot caregivers necessary? A. The high turnover of medical staff. B. The ageing of the population. C. Their high quality of care. D. Their low operating costs. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Human skin has higher touch sensitivity than e-skin. B. Robots need e-skin with higher touch sensitivity. C. Stretchy e-skin gives robots human-level touch sensitivity. D. Stretchy e-skin improves the efficiency of medical systems. 【答案】12. A 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是一种可拉伸电子皮肤让机器人具备人类级别的触觉，有望缓解老龄化社会的护理危机。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But, when traditional e-skin is stretched, it also senses that deformation. That reading creates additional noise that skews (使有误差) the sensors’ ability to sense the pressure. That could lead to a robot using too much force to grab something. (但传统电子皮肤在被拉伸时，也会感应到这种形变。这种读数会产生额外的噪声，从而干扰传感器感知压力的能力。这可能导致机器人在抓取物体时用力过大。)”可知，传统电子皮肤的核心问题是力的控制不够精准。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“the stretchy e-skin as a key component to a robot hand capable of the same level of softness and sensitivity (灵敏度) in touch as a human hand. This could be applied to medical care, where robots could check a patient’s pulse, wipe a body or massage a body part. (这种可拉伸电子皮肤可作为机器人手掌的关键组件，使其具备与人手相同水平的柔软度和触觉灵敏度。这项技术可应用于医疗护理领域，机器人能够检查患者的脉搏、擦拭身体或按摩身体部位。)”可知，划线词后都是Lu的一些设想和展望，envisage的意思是“展望”，和Imagines意思相近。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Around the world, millions of people are aging and are in need of care, more than the global medical system can provide. “In the future, if we have more elderly people than available caregivers, it’s going to be a crisis worldwide,” Lu said. (在全球范围内，数百万人正在步入老年，需要护理，而现有的全球医疗系统无法满足这一需求。卢说：“将来，如果老年人的数量超过可用的护理人员，这将成为一场全球性危机。”)”可知，卢认为机器人护理员是必要的是因为人口的老龄化。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The new stretchy (有弹性的) electronic skin, developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, solves a major bottleneck in the emerging technology. Existing e-skin technology loses sensing accuracy (传感精度) as the material stretches (拉伸), but that is not the case with this new version. (由得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员开发的这种新型可拉伸电子皮肤，解决了这项新兴技术中的一个主要瓶颈。现有的电子皮肤技术在材料拉伸时会丧失传感精度，但这款新型版本不存在这个问题。)”可知，本文主要讲的是一种可拉伸电子皮肤让机器人具备人类级别的触觉，有望缓解老龄化社会的护理危机，因此最好的标题是“Stretchy e-skin gives robots human-level touch sensitivity. (可拉伸电子皮肤赋予机器人人类级别的触觉灵敏度。)”。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Getting into the right mindset for serious studying can be difficult.

She had taken many wild mountain trips there before, so she was quite familiar with the local terrain (地形) and road conditions. However, right after she climbed up to a mountain top, a sudden terrible storm arrived without any warning. It began to snow heavily at once, and very soon, she found herself trapped in the middle of a violent snowstorm. Standing at the highest point for miles around, Jean was at great risk of being hit by lightning.She gave up the original plan of going back along the fixed trail (小径) and chose to climb down the steep and icy mountain slope carefully, believing in her climbing experience and skills. Unluckily, during one difficult part on the way, Jean suddenly slipped and fell more than 100 feet down the rocky mountain. She was lucky enough to stay alive after the fall, but she suffered serious injuries, with many broken bones and terrible body pain. Worse still, because of the extreme weather, there was no signal on her mobile phone, which made it totally impossible for her to call anyone for help. Jean had no choice but to walk slowly through deep snow all the way back to the starting trailhead. Throughout the journey back, Jean suffered continuously from great pain. When she finally walked with difficulty into a parking lot, Jean immediately fell down to the ground. It had been exactly one day since she fell down from the mountain. Her clothes were all covered with blood, and she was too tired to hold on, nearly passing out on the spot. Just then, a car pulled in. A man was driving, with his wife in the passenger seat. 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。 Seeing Jean’s condition, the man jumped out to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As soon as Jean left the hospital, she managed to get the couple’s address. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Seeing Jean’s condition, the man jumped out to help. Shocked by her terrible state, the couple didn’t hesitate to offer assistance. They gently lifted Jean up and laid her on the back seat of the car, covering her with a warm blanket to keep her from freezing in the cold weather. The man drove at top speed towards the nearest hospital while his wife comforted Jean softly, trying to keep her awake. Thanks to their timely rescue, Jean was sent to the emergency room and received professional treatment immediately. As soon as Jean left the hospital, she managed to get the couple’s address. She prepared a delicate thank-you gift and paid a visit to them sincerely. Jean expressed her heartfelt gratitude repeatedly, saying that she could never have survived the terrible accident without their selfless help. The couple smiled and told her that it was just what anyone would do. This unforgettable experience not only saved Jean’s life, but also made her believe deeply in the warmth and kindness of strangers. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以人物为线索，讲述了热爱户外冒险的琼在雪山探险时遭遇暴风雪，失足摔伤、被困遇险，最终被陌生夫妇及时救助，康复后登门致谢，收获温暖的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写夫妇悉心照料琼，火速驱车送医，琼得到及时救治、脱离危险。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写琼准备礼物登门致谢，真诚表达感恩，夫妇善意回应，事件带来的人生感悟。 2.续写线索：偶遇遇险的琼——夫妇暖心救助、紧急送医——琼康复后寻访恩人——登门致谢——感悟陌生人的善意 3.词汇激活 行为类 提供帮助：offer assistance /give a hand 表达感谢：express gratitude /thank sincerely 情绪类 震惊的：shocked /astonished 无私的：selfless /generous 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Shocked by her terrible state, the couple didn’t hesitate to offer assistance.(运用了过去分词作状语) 【高分句型 2】This unforgettable experience not only saved Jean’s life, but also made her believe deeply in the warmth and kindness of strangers.(运用了not only...but also...并列句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一下学期期末模拟考试二 英语试题 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纸上。 第 一节：（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 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.

During that time, since it was rush hour, 1,100 people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by, and a middle-aged man noticed there was musician playing. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him. They stopped for a few seconds, and then hurried up to meet their schedule. The one who paid the most attention was a 3-year-old boy. His mother followed him along, hurried, but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally, the mother pushed hard, and the child continued to walk, turning his head all the time. This was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on. In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money, but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded（鼓掌）, nor was there any recognition. No one knew this, but the violinist was Joshua Bell, one of the most talented musicians in the world. He had just played one of the most beautiful pieces ever written, on a violin worth 3.5 million dollars. Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theatre in Boston where the seats averaged $100. This is a real story. Joshua Bell’s playing in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment. One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing? 4. Why did few people stop to listen to Joshua Bell playing? A. People were in a hurry. B. They were not interested in music. C. It was too cold in the subway. D. The performance was not good enough. 5. What did the parents do when children stopped to look at the violinist? A. They would applaud for the performance. B. They would urge them to continue walking. C. They would stop to enjoy the music. D. They would give him some money. 6. Why did Joshua Bell play in the metro station? A. To make more money. B. To practise his skills in playing music. C. To made an advertisement for his concert. D. To find out people’s reaction under such a circumstance. 7. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To tell us the importance of music. B. To show us how to play music. C. To set us to think about our life. D. To report a subway performance. C Ants have the ability to smell cancerous cells in humans, a new study has discovered, suggesting they could be used for cancer diagnosis in future. Researchers from the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) discovered that ant species Formica fusca has a well developed sense of smell. It was able to differentiate (区分) cancerous cells from healthy cells in humans, thanks to their sense of smell, limited trials revealed. To conduct their research, the scientists performed tests with 36 ants, smelling cells under a laboratory setting. First, the specialists exposed the ants to the smell of a sample of cancerous human cells. This smell was then associated with a reward of sugar solution. In a second step, the researchers exposed the ants to two different smells. One was a new smell and the second was the smell of the cancerous cells. Once this test was successful, the researchers exposed the ants to different cancerous cells. As such, the scientists found that ants discriminate between cancerous and healthy cells and between two cancerous lines. After training, Formica fusca ants are able to detect volatile organic compounds given off by cancerous cells. This first study shows that ants have high potential, are capable of learning very quickly, at lower cost, and are efficient, CNRS points out in a news release. This isn’t the first time that scientists have used the animal sense of smell to locate cancerous cells. “Dogs’ noses are well suited for medical diagnosis. However, training them to do so requires several months to a year. Ants therefore represent a fast, efficient, inexpensive, and highly discriminant detection tool for detection of cancer cell volatiles,” the team explained, “our approach could potentially be adapted to a range of other complex smell detection tasks including the detection of narcotics, explosives, spoiled food, or other diseases.” But more clinical tests must be carried out before they could be used in clinical settings like hospitals, the team said. They suggest that in future, ants could turn out to be better than dogs when it comes to locating cancerous cells in humans. Who knows? Let’s wait and see. 8. How does the author introduce the topic of ants’potential use in cancer diagnosis? A. By comparing ants to dogs. B. By presenting the results of a new study. C. By describing the training process of ants. D. By discussing the history of cancer diagnosis. 9. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about? A. The process of the research. B. The reason of the research. C. The limitation of the research. D. The conclusion of the research. 10. What can we infer about the use of ants in cancer diagnosis? A. Ants have already been used in clinical settings. B. Ants’ noses are more sensitive than dogs’ noses. C. Ants may become a cost-effective diagnostic tool. D. Ants will replace dogs in cancer detection entirely. 11. What is the author’s attitude towards the use of ants in cancer diagnosis? A. Doubtful B. Negative C. Objective D. Indifferent. D The new stretchy (有弹性的) electronic skin, developed by researchers at The University of Texas at Austin, solves a major bottleneck in the emerging technology. Existing e-skin technology loses sensing accuracy (传感精度) as the material stretches (拉伸), but that is not the case with this new version. E-skin technology senses pressure from contact, letting the attached machine know how much force to use to, for example, grab a cup or touch a person. But, when traditional e-skin is stretched, it also senses that deformation. That reading creates additional noise that skews (使有误差) the sensors’ ability to sense the pressure. That could lead to a robot using too much force to grab something. “As human skin has to stretch and bend to accommodate our movements, so too does e-skin,” said Nanshu Lu, a professor in the Cockrell School of Engineering who led the project. “No matter how much our e-skin stretches, the pressure response doesn’t change, and that is a significant achievement.” Lu envisages the stretchy e-skin as a key component to a robot hand capable of the same level of softness and sensitivity (灵敏度) in touch as a human hand. This could be applied to medical care, where robots could check a patient’s pulse, wipe a body or massage a body part. Why is a robot nurse or physical therapist necessary? Around the world, millions of people are aging and are in need of care, more than the global medical system can provide. “In the future, if we have more elderly people than available caregivers, it’s going to be a crisis worldwide,” Lu said. “We need to find new ways to take care of people efficiently and also gently, and robots are an important piece of that puzzle.” Beyond medicine, human-caring robots could be deployed in disasters. They could search for injured and trapped people in an earthquake or a collapsed building, for example, and apply on-the-spot care, such as administering CPR (心肺复苏术). 12. What’s the problem of the traditional e-skin? A. Poor control of force. B. Low levels of softness. C. Misjudgments of distance. D. Loud noise of the machine. 13. What does the underlined word “envisages” in the third paragraph mean? A. Imagines. B. Monitors. C. Improves. D. Tests. 14. What makes Lu think robot caregivers necessary? A. The high turnover of medical staff. B. The ageing of the population. C. Their high quality of care. D. Their low operating costs. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. Human skin has higher touch sensitivity than e-skin. B. Robots need e-skin with higher touch sensitivity. C. Stretchy e-skin gives robots human-level touch sensitivity. D. Stretchy e-skin improves the efficiency of medical systems. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Getting into the right mindset for serious studying can be difficult.

She had taken many wild mountain trips there before, so she was quite familiar with the local terrain (地形) and road conditions. However, right after she climbed up to a mountain top, a sudden terrible storm arrived without any warning. It began to snow heavily at once, and very soon, she found herself trapped in the middle of a violent snowstorm. Standing at the highest point for miles around, Jean was at great risk of being hit by lightning.She gave up the original plan of going back along the fixed trail (小径) and chose to climb down the steep and icy mountain slope carefully, believing in her climbing experience and skills. Unluckily, during one difficult part on the way, Jean suddenly slipped and fell more than 100 feet down the rocky mountain. She was lucky enough to stay alive after the fall, but she suffered serious injuries, with many broken bones and terrible body pain. Worse still, because of the extreme weather, there was no signal on her mobile phone, which made it totally impossible for her to call anyone for help. Jean had no choice but to walk slowly through deep snow all the way back to the starting trailhead. Throughout the journey back, Jean suffered continuously from great pain. When she finally walked with difficulty into a parking lot, Jean immediately fell down to the ground. It had been exactly one day since she fell down from the mountain. Her clothes were all covered with blood, and she was too tired to hold on, nearly passing out on the spot. Just then, a car pulled in. A man was driving, with his wife in the passenger seat. 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。 Seeing Jean’s condition, the man jumped out to help. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As soon as Jean left the hospital, she managed to get the couple’s address. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
