However, when I was a child growing up in Kenya with my four siblings (兄弟姐妹), her kindness often annoyed us. Whenever visitors came to our home, whether relatives or strangers, expected or not, my mother would ask us to prepare and serve them black tea. If visitors arrived during lunch or dinner, she would invite them to eat with us, which meant less food for the family. As children, we felt unhappy and sometimes even complained about it. My sister Faith especially disliked those moments when we had little firewood or when the wood was wet from rain, because making tea became difficult. My sisters and I even believed that some people took advantage of our mother’s generosity by appearing at mealtime. Years later, after moving to the United States to live and teach, I began to see things differently. My mother’s kindness had deeply influenced me. Even when I struggled myself, I still tried to help relatives, friends, and even strangers. If unexpected visitors came to my house one day, I would warmly offer them tea and food, just as my mother always did. Wanting to understand the source of her kindness, I asked my mother about it. She explained that she had learned it from her own mother, my grandmother. Growing up in a large family with eight siblings, my mother often returned home from school to discover that some of their lunch had been given away to hungry travelers. Although the children were upset at times, their mother continued helping others whenever she could. When I asked my mother whether she would have changed if she had known we disliked her generosity, she answered firmly that she would never stop helping people. Today, I fully understand her actions and remain deeply grateful for the compassion (同情) she planted in me. 24. Why did the author dislike unexpected visitors when she was young? A. They interrupted family activities. B. Her family had to share meals with them. C. They always asked for more black tea. D. Her siblings needed to serve them food first. 25. What did the author do after moving to the US? A. She avoided bothering others. B. She lived a poor life for a long time. C. She kept complaining about her mother. D. She was friendly towards others. 26. Why did the author ask her mother about her kindness? A. To memorize her childhood. B. To express her gratitude. C. To understand its origin. D. To change her mother’s mind. 27. How did the author’s attitude to her mother’s kindness change over time? A. From not understanding it to valuing it. B. From seeing it as a shame to a road map. C. From supporting it to complaining about it. D. From taking it lightly to viewing it as a trouble. C All but two of Austria’s 96 glaciers (冰川) have retreated (缩小) over the last two years, the monitors in the Alpine country reported on Friday, saying the “dramatic development” highlights the impact of climate change. The latest report from the Austrian Alpine Club shows the Alpeiner Ferner in the western Tyrol region and Stubacher Sonnblickkees in Salzburg to the east are facing the greatest loss, each with a retreat of more than 100 meters (about 328 feet) . The average retreat was more than 20 meters (about 65 feet) . “The breakdown of the glacier tongue is also progressing at the Pasterze, Austria’s largest glacier, making the results of climate change visible,” the club said in the report covering 2024 and 2025. It added, “The report confirms once again the long-term trend: The glaciers in Austria continue to retreat significantly in length, area, and volume.” Neighboring Switzerland, which is home to the most glaciers in Europe, has noted a similar retreat in its glaciers in recent years, a trend that has been reported around the world. The retreat of the glaciers in Europe has implications for drinking water, power generation, agriculture, infrastructure, recreational activities, the Alpine landscape and more. “The glaciers are melting, and with every new report, the urgency grows,” club vice president Nicole Slupetzky said. “It’s no longer a question of whether we can still save the glaciers in their old form; it’s about relieving the results for ourselves.” Poor weather conditions such as low snowfall, warm temperatures including an exceptionally hot June last year — nearly 5 degrees Celsius above the average — have contributed to the retreat, the club said. These factors accelerated the melting of ice. Without a shift in weather patterns, the trend will likely worsen. Such changes in the Alps should serve as a “wake-up call” for policymakers and the public in their behavior, the club said. It added the current figure was lower than the figure during the previous two years, but still ranked as the eighth-largest retreat in the 135 years of measurements. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. All the glaciers in Austria have retreated. B. Glacier retreat is a widespread phenomenon. C. Pasterze is the largest glacier in Switzerland. D. People fail to know the results of climate change. 29. Which can explain the underlined word “implications” in paragraph 3? A. Quick solutions. B. Simple designs. C. Possible effects. D. Full explanations. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The causes of the glacier retreat. B. The change of weather patterns. C. The threats of climate change. D. The average temperature of Austria. 31. What does the last paragraph stress? A. The current situation is better. B. The glacier retreat is still serious. C. Measuring glacier retreat takes time. D. People’s behavior has changed a lot. D For decades, NASA has advanced on board spacecraft computer processors that perform the functions needed to support mission success. Space computing began in the 1960s during the Apollo missions. At that time, Apollo Guidance Computer played an important role in guidance, navigation, and control. Later, special processors that could work under strong radiation (辐射) became widely used in space exploration. NASA has successfully used computers on Mars rovers, orbiters, and space telescopes. These processors have worked for years in extreme conditions. However, future space missions will become longer and more complex. As a result, scientists need computers with stronger computing power and greater independence. In this case, NASA worked with a company to develop a new technology called High Performance Spaceflight Computing. This new system can provide more than 100 times the computing power of older processors. It also combines computing and networking in one device, which helps reduce energy use and system cost. The new processors include different types for different mission needs. One version is designed for deep space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. It can work safely in difficult environments and support real-time autonomous tasks. Another version provides fault tolerance (容错性) and cybersecurity for low Earth orbit satellites. Using advanced Ethernet to connect multiple sensors (感应器) or collect several chips, High Performance Spaceflight Computing technology allows spacecraft to process large amounts of data onboard and autonomously make real-time decisions, such as driving rovers at high speeds or sorting scientific images. Continuous system health monitoring and an integrated security controller ensure these complex operations remain safe and reliable. This technology is not only useful for space missions. Similar processors may also be used in medical equipment, communication services, artificial intelligence, aviation, and energy systems on Earth. By sharing the same technology in space and daily life, the new system may reduce risk and cost for both government and commercial users. 32. Why does NASA need a new generation of space processors? A. Future missions require more advanced systems. B. Spacecraft now depends less on computer systems. C. Scientists hope to take part in more space missions. D. Older processors cannot work in a difficult environment any more. 33. What can we know about the new processors for different missions? A. They demand separate networks. B. They are operated only in deep space. C. They mainly work for scientific research. D. They are designed with special functions. 34. What is an advantage of the new computing technology? A. It replaces sensors on spacecraft. B. It controls all satellites from Earth. C. It cuts the number of space missions. D. It features immediate decisions in space. 35. What does the author want to illustrate about the new technology? A. It is mainly developed for business use. B. It may affect both space and daily life. C. It can solve every problem in space travel. D. It will definitely reshape space exploration. 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。 Make Your Breaks Count Students often believe that a break is time stolen from study.

Decide how long the break will last. B. Not all breaks, however, have the same effect. C. This helps your brain switch from work to rest. D. So do something different from sitting at a screen. E. It can pull you into another long period of attention. F. In this way, rest supports your plan instead of breaking it. G. You should take the longest break when homework is hardest. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节, 满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 满分15分） 阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 When Dom Pecora was ten, he wanted an expensive mountain bike.

It was a trip meant to give the little boy some precious face-to-face time with his father, who had only been seen on video calls lately. The visit had been wonderful, filled with park trips and bedtime stories that only happen when a family is together. But now it was over, and she was flying home alone with the five-year-old who didn’t understand why Daddy could not come too. The morning had started early, with a tearful goodbye at the hotel and a rushed taxi ride to the airport. Security lines had been long; the boarding gate had changed twice. Their first flight had been delayed for over an hour. The mother had used every snack and every song on her phone to stop her son getting bored. By the time they reached Atlanta for their connecting flight, she had nothing left in her bag of tricks and hardly anything left in herself. Her back ached from carrying their luggage (行李) and her heart was heavy from the goodbye she had just gone through. Later, they found a restaurant near the entrance, and she hoped that a familiar meal might buy them an hour of peace before boarding the final journey home. But the restaurant was loud and crowded, and her son had reached his limit. He moved around in his seat, knocked over his water, and started making noises. The mother tried everything to calm him down — a gentle hand on his shoulder, a whispered promise of ice cream — but nothing worked. She could feel the eyes of other diners beginning to turn their way, and she felt the familiar heat of embarrassment rising in her cheeks, mixed with the guilt that she could not fix this for him. That’s when a waitress named Brittany Bell walked over. 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。 She approached Sarah with a warm smile and softly asked if she could try. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing her son calm down, Sarah was deeply moved. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一英语 注意事项： 1．答题前, 考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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） 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How long will the game last?

Actually, there’s something interesting to see in every corner of Paris. The weather’s been great too. Some aspects of life here are different from those in the US. The most obvious thing is that there are much more activities in the streets. People gather together in open markets, cafes, parks and squares. Then, of course, there’s the food. It’s beautifully shown in windows and at markets. Everything is fresh. I’ve gained five pounds since I arrived. There are a few things that bother me, though I’m still having a hard time with the language. People speak very fast and it’s hard to get them to repeat things. People, I think, are less warm here and it’s hard to make friends. I guess that can be true for us, strangers in any big city, in a new country. 第二部分 阅读（共两节, 满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A COMMUNITY READING PROGRAM Help foster a love of reading among children in our neighborhood!

However, when I was a child growing up in Kenya with my four siblings (兄弟姐妹), her kindness often annoyed us. Whenever visitors came to our home, whether relatives or strangers, expected or not, my mother would ask us to prepare and serve them black tea. If visitors arrived during lunch or dinner, she would invite them to eat with us, which meant less food for the family. As children, we felt unhappy and sometimes even complained about it. My sister Faith especially disliked those moments when we had little firewood or when the wood was wet from rain, because making tea became difficult. My sisters and I even believed that some people took advantage of our mother’s generosity by appearing at mealtime. Years later, after moving to the United States to live and teach, I began to see things differently. My mother’s kindness had deeply influenced me. Even when I struggled myself, I still tried to help relatives, friends, and even strangers. If unexpected visitors came to my house one day, I would warmly offer them tea and food, just as my mother always did. Wanting to understand the source of her kindness, I asked my mother about it. She explained that she had learned it from her own mother, my grandmother. Growing up in a large family with eight siblings, my mother often returned home from school to discover that some of their lunch had been given away to hungry travelers. Although the children were upset at times, their mother continued helping others whenever she could. When I asked my mother whether she would have changed if she had known we disliked her generosity, she answered firmly that she would never stop helping people. Today, I fully understand her actions and remain deeply grateful for the compassion (同情) she planted in me. 24. Why did the author dislike unexpected visitors when she was young? A. They interrupted family activities. B. Her family had to share meals with them. C. They always asked for more black tea. D. Her siblings needed to serve them food first. 25. What did the author do after moving to the US? A. She avoided bothering others. B. She lived a poor life for a long time. C. She kept complaining about her mother. D. She was friendly towards others. 26. Why did the author ask her mother about her kindness? A. To memorize her childhood. B. To express her gratitude. C. To understand its origin. D. To change her mother’s mind. 27. How did the author’s attitude to her mother’s kindness change over time? A. From not understanding it to valuing it. B. From seeing it as a shame to a road map. C. From supporting it to complaining about it. D. From taking it lightly to viewing it as a trouble. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了作者在肯尼亚童年时不理解母亲的慷慨好客，成年移居美国后深受影响并传承了这一美德。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“If visitors arrived during lunch or dinner, she would invite them to eat with us, which meant less food for the family.(如果访客在午餐或晚餐时间到来，母亲会邀请他们一起吃饭，这意味着家里的食物会变少)”可知，作者小时候不喜欢不速之客是因为家人不得不与他们分享食物。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Even when I struggled myself, I still tried to help relatives, friends, and even strangers. If unexpected visitors came to my house one day, I would warmly offer them tea and food, just as my mother always did.(即便我自己过得很艰难，我仍然尽力帮助亲戚、朋友，甚至陌生人。如果有一天有不速之客来我家，我会像妈妈一样热情地给他们提供茶和食物)”可知，作者移居美国后对他人十分友善。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Wanting to understand the source of her kindness, I asked my mother about it.(为了弄懂母亲善良品质的源头，我问了她相关问题)”可知，作者询问母亲是为了了解这种善行的起源。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As children, we felt unhappy and sometimes even complained about it.(孩提时代，我们对此感到不开心，有时甚至会抱怨)”以及最后一段“Today, I fully understand her actions and remain deeply grateful for the compassion (同情) she planted in me.(今天，我完全理解她的行为，并对她在我心中播下的同情深表感激)”可知，作者的态度经历了从最初的不理解、抱怨到后来珍视、感激的转变。 C All but two of Austria’s 96 glaciers (冰川) have retreated (缩小) over the last two years, the monitors in the Alpine country reported on Friday, saying the “dramatic development” highlights the impact of climate change. The latest report from the Austrian Alpine Club shows the Alpeiner Ferner in the western Tyrol region and Stubacher Sonnblickkees in Salzburg to the east are facing the greatest loss, each with a retreat of more than 100 meters (about 328 feet) . The average retreat was more than 20 meters (about 65 feet) . “The breakdown of the glacier tongue is also progressing at the Pasterze, Austria’s largest glacier, making the results of climate change visible,” the club said in the report covering 2024 and 2025. It added, “The report confirms once again the long-term trend: The glaciers in Austria continue to retreat significantly in length, area, and volume.” Neighboring Switzerland, which is home to the most glaciers in Europe, has noted a similar retreat in its glaciers in recent years, a trend that has been reported around the world. The retreat of the glaciers in Europe has implications for drinking water, power generation, agriculture, infrastructure, recreational activities, the Alpine landscape and more. “The glaciers are melting, and with every new report, the urgency grows,” club vice president Nicole Slupetzky said. “It’s no longer a question of whether we can still save the glaciers in their old form; it’s about relieving the results for ourselves.” Poor weather conditions such as low snowfall, warm temperatures including an exceptionally hot June last year — nearly 5 degrees Celsius above the average — have contributed to the retreat, the club said. These factors accelerated the melting of ice. Without a shift in weather patterns, the trend will likely worsen. Such changes in the Alps should serve as a “wake-up call” for policymakers and the public in their behavior, the club said. It added the current figure was lower than the figure during the previous two years, but still ranked as the eighth-largest retreat in the 135 years of measurements. 28. What can we learn from paragraph 2? A. All the glaciers in Austria have retreated. B. Glacier retreat is a widespread phenomenon. C. Pasterze is the largest glacier in Switzerland. D. People fail to know the results of climate change. 29. Which can explain the underlined word “implications” in paragraph 3? A. Quick solutions. B. Simple designs. C. Possible effects. D. Full explanations. 30. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. The causes of the glacier retreat. B. The change of weather patterns. C. The threats of climate change. D. The average temperature of Austria. 31. What does the last paragraph stress? A. The current situation is better. B. The glacier retreat is still serious. C. Measuring glacier retreat takes time. D. People’s behavior has changed a lot. 【答案】28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要报道了奥地利冰川持续大面积退缩的现状、成因及带来的广泛影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The latest report from the Austrian Alpine Club shows the Alpeiner Ferner in the western Tyrol region and Stubacher Sonnblickkees in Salzburg to the east are facing the greatest loss, each with a retreat of more than 100 meters (about 328 feet) . The average retreat was more than 20 meters (about 65 feet) .(奥地利阿尔卑斯俱乐部的这份最新报告显示，位于西部蒂罗尔地区的阿尔佩纳冰川与东部萨尔茨堡的施图巴赫松布利克冰川面临最为严重的萎缩，各自后退幅度均超100米（约328英尺）。冰川平均后退距离则超过20米（约65英尺）)”可知，冰川退缩并非奥地利独有，而是一个全球性的普遍现象。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中implications后的列举“for drinking water, power generation, agriculture, infrastructure, recreational activities, the Alpine landscape and more(饮用水、发电、农业、基础设施、娱乐活动、阿尔卑斯山景观等)”可知，此处指的是冰川消退可能对这些领域产生的各种后果或作用。Possible effects“可能的影响”与划线单词语义一致。 【30题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Poor weather conditions such as low snowfall, warm temperatures including an exceptionally hot June last year — nearly 5 degrees Celsius above the average— have contributed to the retreat, the club said. These factors accelerated the melting of ice. Without a shift in weather patterns, the trend will likely worsen.(该俱乐部指出，低降雪量、高温——包括去年六月异常酷热，气温较常年均值高出近5摄氏度——等恶劣天气状况，均是导致冰川退缩的重要诱因。这些因素加速了冰体消融。倘若天气模式不发生转变，这一恶化趋势恐将持续加剧)”可知，本段重点分析了导致冰川退缩的具体气候原因。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“It added the current figure was lower than the figure during the previous two years, but still ranked as the eighth-largest retreat in the 135 years of measurements.(报告补充说，当前数据虽低于前两年，但在135年的测量史上仍位列退缩规模的第八位)”可知，尽管退缩速度略有放缓，但整体情况依然十分严峻，不容乐观。 D For decades, NASA has advanced on board spacecraft computer processors that perform the functions needed to support mission success. Space computing began in the 1960s during the Apollo missions. At that time, Apollo Guidance Computer played an important role in guidance, navigation, and control. Later, special processors that could work under strong radiation (辐射) became widely used in space exploration. NASA has successfully used computers on Mars rovers, orbiters, and space telescopes. These processors have worked for years in extreme conditions. However, future space missions will become longer and more complex. As a result, scientists need computers with stronger computing power and greater independence. In this case, NASA worked with a company to develop a new technology called High Performance Spaceflight Computing. This new system can provide more than 100 times the computing power of older processors. It also combines computing and networking in one device, which helps reduce energy use and system cost. The new processors include different types for different mission needs. One version is designed for deep space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. It can work safely in difficult environments and support real-time autonomous tasks. Another version provides fault tolerance (容错性) and cybersecurity for low Earth orbit satellites. Using advanced Ethernet to connect multiple sensors (感应器) or collect several chips, High Performance Spaceflight Computing technology allows spacecraft to process large amounts of data onboard and autonomously make real-time decisions, such as driving rovers at high speeds or sorting scientific images. Continuous system health monitoring and an integrated security controller ensure these complex operations remain safe and reliable. This technology is not only useful for space missions. Similar processors may also be used in medical equipment, communication services, artificial intelligence, aviation, and energy systems on Earth. By sharing the same technology in space and daily life, the new system may reduce risk and cost for both government and commercial users. 32. Why does NASA need a new generation of space processors? A. Future missions require more advanced systems. B. Spacecraft now depends less on computer systems. C. Scientists hope to take part in more space missions. D. Older processors cannot work in a difficult environment any more. 33. What can we know about the new processors for different missions? A. They demand separate networks. B. They are operated only in deep space. C. They mainly work for scientific research. D. They are designed with special functions. 34. What is an advantage of the new computing technology? A. It replaces sensors on spacecraft. B. It controls all satellites from Earth. C. It cuts the number of space missions. D. It features immediate decisions in space. 35. What does the author want to illustrate about the new technology? A. It is mainly developed for business use. B. It may affect both space and daily life. C. It can solve every problem in space travel. D. It will definitely reshape space exploration. 【答案】32. A 33. D 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍的是美国国家航空航天局开发的新一代高性能太空计算处理器的技术特点及其应用前景。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, future space missions will become longer and more complex. As a result, scientists need computers with stronger computing power and greater independence. (然而，未来的太空任务将变得更长、更复杂。因此，科学家需要具有更强计算能力和更大自主性的计算机。)”可知，美国国家航空航天局需要新一代太空处理器是因为未来任务需要更先进的系统。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The new processors include different types for different mission needs. One version is designed for deep space missions to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Another version provides fault tolerance (容错性) and cybersecurity for low Earth orbit satellites. (新处理器包括针对不同任务需求的不同类型。一个版本专为前往月球、火星及更远处的深空任务而设计。另一个版本为近地轨道卫星提供容错性和网络安全。)”可知，新处理器针对不同任务设计了特殊功能。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段“High Performance Spaceflight Computing technology allows spacecraft to process large amounts of data onboard and autonomously make real-time decisions, such as driving rovers at high speeds or sorting scientific images. (高性能太空飞行计算技术使航天器能够在机上处理大量数据并自主做出实时决策，例如高速驾驶探测器或分类科学图像。)”可知，新计算技术的优势之一是能够在太空中做出即时决策。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“This technology is not only useful for space missions. Similar processors may also be used in medical equipment, communication services, artificial intelligence, aviation, and energy systems on Earth. (这项技术不仅对太空任务有用。类似的处理器也可能用于地球上的医疗设备、通信服务、人工智能、航空和能源系统。)”可知，作者想说明这项新技术可能影响太空和日常生活。 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。 Make Your Breaks Count Students often believe that a break is time stolen from study.

It was a trip meant to give the little boy some precious face-to-face time with his father, who had only been seen on video calls lately. The visit had been wonderful, filled with park trips and bedtime stories that only happen when a family is together. But now it was over, and she was flying home alone with the five-year-old who didn’t understand why Daddy could not come too. The morning had started early, with a tearful goodbye at the hotel and a rushed taxi ride to the airport. Security lines had been long; the boarding gate had changed twice. Their first flight had been delayed for over an hour. The mother had used every snack and every song on her phone to stop her son getting bored. By the time they reached Atlanta for their connecting flight, she had nothing left in her bag of tricks and hardly anything left in herself. Her back ached from carrying their luggage (行李) and her heart was heavy from the goodbye she had just gone through. Later, they found a restaurant near the entrance, and she hoped that a familiar meal might buy them an hour of peace before boarding the final journey home. But the restaurant was loud and crowded, and her son had reached his limit. He moved around in his seat, knocked over his water, and started making noises. The mother tried everything to calm him down — a gentle hand on his shoulder, a whispered promise of ice cream — but nothing worked. She could feel the eyes of other diners beginning to turn their way, and she felt the familiar heat of embarrassment rising in her cheeks, mixed with the guilt that she could not fix this for him. That’s when a waitress named Brittany Bell walked over. 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。 She approached Sarah with a warm smile and softly asked if she could try. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Seeing her son calm down, Sarah was deeply moved. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 She approached Sarah with a warm smile and softly asked if she could try. Instead of scolding the upset child, Brittany pulled out a colorful crayon and a blank napkin from her pocket. She sat down across from Max, leaned in gently, and asked him to tell her all about the fun week he’d just had with his daddy. Max immediately stopped making noises, his little eyes lighting up as he started chattering about the trips and the dinosaur toy his dad bought. Brittany listened carefully, nodding and asking questions now and then, while drawing a little dinosaur on the napkin for him. Seeing her son calm down, Sarah was deeply moved. She thanked Brittany repeatedly, saying she’d had an exhausting day and had nowhere else to turn. She tried to offer an extra tip, but Brittany refused. Brittany told Sarah she’d been through the same thing as a young single mom, and that a little kindness can make a big difference. When Sarah paid for the meal, she found Brittany had secretly added a free ice cream for Max. Sarah left the restaurant with a calmed, happy child and a warm heart, carrying the unexpected kindness from a stranger with her all the way home. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索。Sarah和5岁的儿子Max探望完异地工作的丈夫后，独自带孩子转机返程，经历了航班延误、一路疲惫后，儿子Max因情绪失控在餐厅吵闹，Sarah尴尬无助时，服务员Brittany主动伸出善意援手，帮助安抚好孩子。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句内容可知，第一段可以描写Brittany主动上前帮忙安抚Max，她采用吸引小朋友的方式，拿出蜡笔和空白纸巾，引导Max聊天，边倾听边画Max聊天中提到的东西，让Max逐渐平静下来。 ②由续写第二段首句内容，第二段可以描写Sarah看到儿子平静下来后非常感动，想要多给小费却遭Brittany拒绝，Brittany分享自身经历安慰Sarah并且临行前送Max免费冰激凌，让Sarah感悟陌生人带来的善意。 2. 段落续写： Brittany主动上前请求尝试——认真倾听Max聊天——为Max画画——Sarah感激，想多给小费却被拒绝——Brittany分享相似经历安慰Sarah——Brittany赠送免费冰激凌——Sarah感受善意 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①斥责：scold/tell off ②拒绝：refuse/decline/turn down 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/softly ②令人疲惫的：exhausting/tiring 【点睛】【高分句型1】Max immediately stopped making noises, his little eyes lighting up as he started chattering about the trips and the dinosaur toy his dad bought.(使用了独立主格结构、as引导时间状语从句以及省略关系词的定语从句his dad bought) 【高分句型2】Brittany listened carefully, nodding and asking questions now and then, while drawing a little dinosaur on the napkin for him.
