Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees. As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立的) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection. Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.       Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011. Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.” 4. What might most people think of Nancy Wake on hearing her nickname? A. She was a protective woman. B. She was gentle and easily harmed. C. She would like to tell the truth all the time. D. She was not afraid of being involved in a war. 5. What did Nancy Wake do at the start of the war? A. She got a full copy of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list. B. She helped people get away from war areas. C. She organised and led resistance fighters. D. She left France for Spain for good. 6. What can be learned about Nancy Wake as a female soldier? A. She fell victim to cruelty easily. B. She died in a parachute accident. C. She became a successful radio operator. D. She got past German checkpoints successfully. 7. Which of the following is probably Nancy Wake’s belief ? A. Women can fight on the front line. B. Women can make a great difference at home. C. Women should be trained to support the family. D. Women shouldn’t put themselves in high-risk situations. C Think of evolution (进化), and you might think of Darwin’s natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current evolutionary journey. It is our culture. “Cultural evolution eats genetic evolution for breakfast,” said Zachary Wood, a researcher in ecology and environmental sciences at the University of Maine. Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. Timothy Waring, an associate professor at the University of Maine, said, “Culture solves problems much more rapidly than genetic evolution. This suggests our species is in the middle of a great evolutionary transition.” Cultural practices integrate everything from farming techniques and legal requirements to medical advances. Cultural evolution is not new — the transition to agriculture, for example, has seen humans move from hunter - gatherer societies to permanent settlements. But, Wood and Waring argue, the impact of cultural evolution is growing. When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects. Still not convinced? “Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live?” said Waring. “Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you — your community, your nation, your technologies.” Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony (群落) does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture. 8. What does the underlined word “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Normal. B. Gradual. C. Difficult. D. Short. 9. How does the author show the impact of cultural evolution? A. By giving an example of medical advances. B. By mentioning the origin of human society. C. By citing the opinions of different researchers. D. By highlighting cultural practices in various areas. 10. How did Waring sound in paragraph 4? A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical. 11. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The loss of human individuality. B. The speed of cultural change. C. The future dominance of culture. D. The structure of an ant colony. D A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) (脑机接口) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone. The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke. Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit. “Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li. Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030. 12. What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1? A. It improves communication skills. B. It translates thoughts into sentences. C. It helps to treat stroke patients. D. It serves as a Chinese learning tool. 13. Which of the following best describes the training? A. Traditional. B. Personalized. C. Thorough. D. Efficient. 14. Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4? A. To explain the working process of BCI. B. To show the promising future of BCI. C. To describe the history of Huashan Hospital. D. To display the variety of BCI devices. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. AI: Controlling Games with Mind B. INSIDE: Building BCI Industry C. Implants: Reading Brain Signals D. BCI: Giving Voice to Thought 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Leave No Trace The idea of Leave No Trace (痕迹) might seem unimportant until you consider the combined effects-of millions of outdoor visitors.

His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye. Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police. Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands. The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard. At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man. Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing. 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: When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年春季期期末学科素养检测（二） 高二年级 英语 （考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分） 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，并将自己的姓名、准考证号、座位号填写在本试卷上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。涂写在本试卷上无效。 3．作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 4．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） 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.What does the woman want to buy?

Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. Nancy Wake was a brave and fearless woman who took part in dangerous tasks to save the lives of Allied servicemen and war refugees. As a journalist living in France, Nancy witnessed firsthand the cruelty of the Nazis and made up her mind to fight it any way she could. When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral ( 中立的) Spain. Placed on top of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list, Nancy was referred to as the “White Mouse” because of the way she slipped (溜走) through their fingers and avoided detection. Nancy was sent to England in 1943 to join the British Special Operations Executive (SOE). She was trained in parachuting and surveillance (监视), throwing herself into these activities with strength and determination. She was later parachuted into France, where she helped organise and lead resistance fighters. On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.       Nancy received medals from Allied countries. The medals are displayed in the World War II gallery at the Australian War Memorial, and form a fitting tribute to this fearless woman, who passed away in 2011. Perhaps the best words to underline Nancy Wake’s spirit came from her own lips: “I hate wars and violence. But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.” 4. What might most people think of Nancy Wake on hearing her nickname? A. She was a protective woman. B. She was gentle and easily harmed. C. She would like to tell the truth all the time. D. She was not afraid of being involved in a war. 5. What did Nancy Wake do at the start of the war? A. She got a full copy of the Gestapo’s most-wanted list. B. She helped people get away from war areas. C. She organised and led resistance fighters. D. She left France for Spain for good. 6. What can be learned about Nancy Wake as a female soldier? A. She fell victim to cruelty easily. B. She died in a parachute accident. C. She became a successful radio operator. D. She got past German checkpoints successfully. 7. Which of the following is probably Nancy Wake’s belief ? A. Women can fight on the front line. B. Women can make a great difference at home. C. Women should be trained to support the family. D. Women shouldn’t put themselves in high-risk situations. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。本文介绍出生在新西兰的女特工“白鼠”南希·韦克二战期间战功赫赫的传奇经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Hearing the name the “White Mouse”, most people would imagine that Nancy was mild, and shy, but nothing could be further from the truth. (听到“白鼠”这个名字，大多数人会认为南希温和、害羞，但事实远非如此)”可知，听到“白鼠”这个名字大家会觉得Nancy温顺、害羞，即认为她很温柔，很容易受到伤害。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“When the war started, Nancy helped hundreds of people escape to neutral (中立的) Spain.(战争开始时，南希帮助数百人逃往中立的西班牙)”可知，战争开始时Nancy帮助人们逃离战区。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“On one memorable occasion she walked and cycled 500km through several German checkpoints to find a radio operator. She believed that being female allowed her to pass through checkpoints that no one else could get through.(在一个难忘的时刻，她步行和骑行500公里，穿过几个德国检查站，找到了一名无线电操作员。她认为，作为女性，她可以通过其他人无法通过的检查站)”可知，Nancy曾骑行500公里穿越多个德国检查站，并认为女性身份帮助她成功通过，D选项“她成功地通过了德国多个检查站”直接对应这一事实。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But if they come, I don’t see why we women should just wave our men a proud goodbye and then make them shoes, socks and gloves.(但如果它们来了，我不明白为什么我们女人应该骄傲地向男人挥手告别，然后给他们做鞋子、袜子和手套)”可知，Nancy反对女性仅承担后勤角色，主张战争发生时女性也可以上前线，A选项“女性可以上前线”准确体现了她的信念。故选A项。 C Think of evolution (进化), and you might think of Darwin’s natural selection. But according to researchers writing in the journal BioScience, it is not our genes that are determining our current evolutionary journey. It is our culture. “Cultural evolution eats genetic evolution for breakfast,” said Zachary Wood, a researcher in ecology and environmental sciences at the University of Maine. Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. Timothy Waring, an associate professor at the University of Maine, said, “Culture solves problems much more rapidly than genetic evolution. This suggests our species is in the middle of a great evolutionary transition.” Cultural practices integrate everything from farming techniques and legal requirements to medical advances. Cultural evolution is not new — the transition to agriculture, for example, has seen humans move from hunter - gatherer societies to permanent settlements. But, Wood and Waring argue, the impact of cultural evolution is growing. When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects. Still not convinced? “Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live?” said Waring. “Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you — your community, your nation, your technologies.” Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony (群落) does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture. 8. What does the underlined word “incremental” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Normal. B. Gradual. C. Difficult. D. Short. 9. How does the author show the impact of cultural evolution? A. By giving an example of medical advances. B. By mentioning the origin of human society. C. By citing the opinions of different researchers. D. By highlighting cultural practices in various areas. 10. How did Waring sound in paragraph 4? A. Confused. B. Curious. C. Confident. D. Critical. 11. What does the last paragraph focus on? A. The loss of human individuality. B. The speed of cultural change. C. The future dominance of culture. D. The structure of an ant colony. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章开篇打破人们对进化的传统认知（达尔文自然选择与基因决定），提出核心观点：当前人类的进化历程由文化而非基因主导。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Although genetics drove the most fundamental changes in our evolutionary past, this process is incremental. Cultural evolution, in contrast, can occur within the time it takes to pass a law. (尽管基因在我们过去的进化中推动了最根本性的变化，但这一过程是incremental。相比之下，文化进化可以在通过一项法律的时间内发生。)”可知，基因进化与文化进化形成鲜明对比，文化进化速度极快，因此“incremental”应表示与“快速”相反的含义。选项B“渐进的”符合对比逻辑，故选B。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“When we see increases in our life expectancy, it is less often the result of genes and more likely the product of advancements in healthcare and other related aspects. (当我们看到预期寿命延长时，这往往不是基因的结果，而更可能是医疗保健和其他相关领域进步的产物。)” 可知，作者通过“医疗进步使人类预期寿命延长”这一具体实例，直观体现了文化进化对人类的重要影响。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Waring的提问“Ask yourself: what matters more for your personal life outcomes, the genes you are born with, or the country where you live? (问问自己：对你的个人生活结果而言，你与生俱来的基因和你生活的国家，哪个更重要？)” 以及后续明确结论“Today, your wellbeing is determined less and less by your personal biology and more and more by the cultural systems that surround you (如今，你的福祉越来越少地由个人生理因素决定，越来越多地由你周围的文化系统决定)” 可知，Waring的语气坚定且有说服力，充满自信。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Some experts believe we are heading towards a future where all of humanity will function as a single unit, much like an ant colony (群落) does. Wood and Waring do not believe we are there yet, but predict that in the long term, culture will continue to grow in influence over human evolution until genes become secondary and are ultimately controlled by culture. (一些专家认为，我们正在走向一个未来，所有的人类将作为一个单一的单位，就像一个蚁群一样。伍德和韦林不相信我们已经到了那个地步，但他们预测，从长远来看，文化对人类进化的影响将继续增长，直到基因成为次要的，最终由文化控制。)” 可知，该段核心聚焦于文化在未来对人类进化的主导地位。故选C。 D A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) (脑机接口) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone. The technology, currently in clinical trials, offers new hope for patients with speech loss due to conditions such as stroke. Scientists from Shanghai-based startup INSIDE and Huashan Hospital implanted electrodes (电极) into participants with epilepsy (癫痫). After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time. Training on those characters then enabled the system to interpret 1,951 common words correctly and generate complete Chinese sentences in less than half a second, with virtually no length limit. “Unlike English’s basic speech sounds, Chinese involves over 400 different syllables,” explains Li Meng, INSIDE’s chief scientist. The team trained on data from the world’s largest human brainwave database built by Huashan Hospital, and the AI identified basic sounds of speech with over 83 percent accuracy, according to Li. Looking ahead, researchers envision the interpreted text allowing users to control smart environments, or even generate expressive artworks through generative AI systems. Huashan Hospital has played a key role in brain-computer interface clinical trials. In August 2024, neurosurgeons at the Hospital implanted a 256-channel flexible BCI device designed by the Shanghai-based NeuroXess into a 21-year-old female patient with epilepsy. Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control. In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind. This followed the implantation of a BCI device developed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Recognizing BCI as a strategic future industry, Shanghai aims to achieve high-quality brain control and fully integrate BCI products into clinical applications by 2030. 12. What can be learned about BCI technology from Paragraph 1? A. It improves communication skills. B. It translates thoughts into sentences. C. It helps to treat stroke patients. D. It serves as a Chinese learning tool. 13. Which of the following best describes the training? A. Traditional. B. Personalized. C. Thorough. D. Efficient. 14. Why does the author mention the two examples in Paragraph 4? A. To explain the working process of BCI. B. To show the promising future of BCI. C. To describe the history of Huashan Hospital. D. To display the variety of BCI devices. 15. What is a suitable title for the text? A. AI: Controlling Games with Mind B. INSIDE: Building BCI Industry C. Implants: Reading Brain Signals D. BCI: Giving Voice to Thought 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了中国研究团队在脑机接口（BCI）技术上的新突破，该技术可将大脑想法转化为完整中文句子，为失语患者带来新希望，并展现了其广阔的应用前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone.(一组中国研究人员和临床神经学家在脑机接口（BCI）技术上取得了新突破，使10个人仅通过思维就能交流复杂的中文句子。)”可知，BCI技术可以将思维转化为句子。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“After an average of just 100 minutes of training, their custom-built intelligent system read and interpreted brain activities associated with the intended speech of 54 Chinese characters in real time.(经过平均仅100分钟的训练，他们定制的智能系统就能实时读取和解读与54个汉字目标发音相关的大脑活动。)”可知，仅用100分钟训练就实现了高效转化，说明训练是高效的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Within 48 hours, the patient successfully engaged in table tennis and snake computer games through brain control.(在48小时内，患者成功通过大脑控制参与了乒乓球和贪吃蛇电脑游戏。)”和“In June 2025, a Chinese man who had lost his arms and legs in a terrible accident 13 years ago was shown playing chess and racing games using only his mind.(2025年6月，一名13年前在一场严重事故中失去四肢的中国男子被展示仅用意念下棋和玩赛车游戏。)”可知，这两个例子展示了BCI技术在不同场景下的应用，以此体现其广阔的未来前景。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A group of Chinese researchers and clinical neurologists has made a new breakthrough in brain-computer interface (BCI) technology, enabling 10 individuals to communicate complex Chinese sentences through their thoughts alone.(一组中国研究人员和临床神经学家在脑机接口（BCI）技术上取得了新突破，使10个人仅通过思维就能交流复杂的中文句子。)”可知，全文围绕BCI技术展开，核心是该技术能将大脑中的想法转化为可交流的句子和可执行的动作。D选项“BCI: Giving Voice to Thought(BCI：为思维赋予声音)”最能概括文章主旨，既点明了技术名称，又体现了其核心功能。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Leave No Trace The idea of Leave No Trace (痕迹) might seem unimportant until you consider the combined effects-of millions of outdoor visitors.

His mother was at work, and his father had been away on business. Therefore, he was left in the care of Mrs. Hill, an old lady who lived next door. His parents had raised the 12-year-old to be a good boy. He never got into trouble, though sometimes he wanted to do risky things. Mrs. Hill was asleep. Kevin sighed (叹息) and hoped something exciting would happen. Suddenly, a movement outside caught his eye. Mrs. Hill’s front window faced Mr. and Mrs. Green’s house across the street. The couple had both gone to work, so it was strange that someone was over there. Kevin stared at the man at their front door. Suddenly, the man jumped through an open window into the house. With his heart in his mouth, Kevin grabbed Mrs. Hill’s home phone and called the police. Thinking that the man might get away with whatever he wanted before the police arrived, Kevin decided to do something. He rushed out of Mrs. Hill’s house and crossed the street quickly. Grabbing a branch from a cut-down tree, he jumped in through the window. “Stop right there! You must leave right now!” he called out, holding the branch with both hands. The man froze for a second, but when he saw the skinny boy he breathed a sigh of relief. “Hey, kid, put that down. It was my home. My parents used to live here and my father’s watch was here,” he explained, trying to lift a floorboard. At that moment, the sounds of a police car echoed (回响) in the air. The man stood up in a panic, then ran through the house toward the window and jumped out. Kevin followed out and told the arriving police officers what had happened. They pursued and arrested the man. Kevin went back to Mrs. Hill’s house. Somehow he wasn’t sure he had done the right thing. “What if he has told the truth?” he thought to himself. The man’s words sounded pretty convincing. 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: When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: When Mr. and Mrs. Green got home, Kevin went to talk to them. He explained how he had witnessed the strange man entering their house and how he was arrested. Mr. and Mrs. Green listened attentively, with a mixture of surprise and gratitude on their faces. Mrs. Green hugged Kevin, thanking him for his bravery. Mr. Green, however, looked thoughtful. He asked Kevin to describe the man in detail and then revealed that the man was indeed his younger brother, who had come to retrieve a watch their father had left behind. Kevin's eyes widened in shock. Kevin and Mr. Green took the watch they had found to the police station. On the way, Mr. Green explained that the watch was a family heirloom, passed down from generation to generation. At the police station, they explained the situation to the officers, who were surprised but understanding. The man, who had been released after his identity was verified, was waiting outside. He smiled weakly at Kevin, who felt a mix of embarrassment and relief. Mr. Green handed over the watch to his brother with a pat on the back, and they all agreed to keep in touch. Kevin learned an important lesson that day: always verify the facts before taking action, but never hesitate to help those in need. 【解析】 【导语】本文人物为线索展开，讲述Kevin在父母不在家时，看到一男子闯入格林夫妇家，他报警并阻止男子，男子被捕后他怀疑自己是否做对。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“当格林夫妇回到家时，凯文去和他们交谈。”可知，第一段可描述Kevin向格林夫妇解释他所做的事情，以及格林夫妇的反应和真相的揭露。 ②由第二段首句内容“凯文和格林先生带着他们找到的手表去了警察局。”可知，第二段可描述第二段可描写Kevin和Mr. Green去警察局解释情况，以及事情解决后他们的感受和Kevin学到的教训。 2. 续写线索：Kevin向Green夫妇解释——Green夫妇的反应——真相揭露——Kevin和Green去警察局——事情解决——Kevin的感受和教训 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①进入：enter/come into ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③找回：retrieve/get back ④核实：verify/confirm 情绪类 ①吃惊：surprise/astonishment ②感激：gratitude/appreciation ③宽慰：relief/comfort 【点睛】[高分句型1]Mrs. Green hugged Kevin, thanking him for his bravery.
