But he avoided contact with his grandmother, Grandma Joy, aged 85, due to a past disagreement. Years later, while hiking the Appalachian Trail, he found himself thinking a lot about his grandmother and the time they spent at Blue Rock State Park looking for crawfish. Then, Brad decided to visit Grandma Joy. Grandma Joy did what came natural to her. She gave him a big hug. “It was familiar and yet strange,”  said Brad. “It looked the same. But I was looking at a woman who had aged.”  They made small talks but then there was an awkward pause. Brad broke the ice by suggesting a visit to Blue Rock State Park. On the way there, Grandma Joy admitted she had many regrets in her life. One of them was that aside from this state park, she’d never had the chance to see the great outdoors. When they arrived at the creek, the special place where long ago they’d searched out the crawfish, they stood silently, lost in thought. A loud splash broke the silence. The tail of a massive beaver (狸) gliding below broke the water’s surface. Stunned, they both laughed. “We looked at each other,” said Brad, “and we both realized we were still the same people.” To make up for Grandma’s sadness of not seeing more of nature, Brad planned a camping trip to Great Smoky Mountains with Grandma. Despite Grandma Joy’s age, she surprised Brad by eagerly agreeing to go. That night, they sat by the campfire, feeling its warmth and gazing at the stars. Brad and Grandma opened the lock box of their past. They talked about families and parents, about loss, pain and regret, telling each other they’d wasted too many years being separated. The camping trip ended, but their outdoor adventure continued. Since then they have visited 62 national parks, covering over 50,000 miles in Brad’s car. Their age difference doesn’t matter as they are still on their way. 24．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Brad from the first two paragraphs? A．He was fond of travelling. B．He longed to visit state parks. C．He was touched by past memories. D．He avoided contact with his family. 25．(2.5分)How did Brad and Grandma feel when they saw the beaver? A．Awkward and confused. B．Amused and sympathetic. C．Regretful and sad. D．Surprised and relieved. 26．(2.5分)Why did Brad plan a camping trip to Great Smoky Mountains National Park? A．To surprise Grandma Joy. B．To realize Grandma Joy’s wish. C．To break the ice with Grandma Joy. D．To recall the trip of Grandma Joy’s youth. 27．(2.5分)What can we learn from Brad’s camping trip with Grandma Joy? A．They decided to explore more parks. B．They brought back a lock box from the trip. C．They felt stressed because of age difference. D．They used to explore the great outdoors often. （本题10分）When the Derby Arboretum, one of the first public parks in England, opened in 1840, it was only open to the public on Sundays and Wednesdays. For the rest of the week, its fountains and pathways were reserved for paying customers, whose entry fees effectively supported the park. The system was scrapped in 1882, as the growing concern for public health among Victorian reformers sped up the creation of open public parks in towns and cities across England. Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum. But another form of gatekeeping is taking place in parks today. Councils that have seen their budgets severely reduced due to financial challenges are finding ways to turn parks into cash-generating properties, often by renting stretches of the land to fenced-off commercial events. These deals can be mutually (互相) beneficial, particularly when the park is sizable and locals are consulted. They can also seem like a destructive form of temporary privatization. Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园). Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals. The reliance on commercial income isn’t limited to London. Residents in Swansea and Manchester have complained about frequent fenced-off events. Councils find themselves in a difficult position. Parks are a non-essential service, and so they are at risk of cost-cutting. Income from events has become an increasingly important source of income. For councils that cannot make their parks pay, the risk is a thinning of local facilities and declining public space. Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future. 28．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “scrapped” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Simplified. B．Designed. C．Abandoned. D．Detailed. 29．(2.5分)Why was Tough Mudder criticized? A．It refused to consult the council. B．It designed inadequate obstacle courses. C．It involved quite a few local racers. D．It had an unfavourable environmental impact. 30．(2.5分)What is the concern about the reliance on commercial income for parks? A．Insufficient event facilities. B．Reduced parkland accessibility. C．Decreased park maintenance. D．Lack of interest from residents. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s opinion on parks? A．They should be truly for everyone. B．They should be funded by councils. C．They should be protected by park-goers. D．They should enhance community engagement. Never Stop Exploring: The Spirit of Scientists Scientists are people who keep asking questions and exploring the unknown. For hundreds of years, many great scientists have devoted their lives to scientific research, changing the world step by step. Their spirit of curiosity and perseverance inspires generations of people. Many people think scientific discoveries are made by lucky accidents. But New Scientist reports that most great findings come from long-term and repeated experiments. Stanley Miller, a famous American scientist, devoted himself to the study of the origin of life. In his famous experiment, he did not create life directly, but he successfully produced amino acids, the basic materials of life. His work laid an important foundation for later research on life origins. Scientific research is never smooth. Most scientists face countless failures before making breakthroughs. They may spend years on a single experiment and get no results. Some even face doubt and criticism from others. But they never give up their exploration. Their curiosity about nature and insistence on truth keep them moving forward. Today, young people can also learn from scientists. We don’t need to make great inventions at once. We can keep curious about the world, dare to question and keep trying when we meet difficulties. This is the most valuable scientific spirit. 32．(0分)What do most great scientific discoveries depend on? A．Lucky accidents B．Long-term repeated experiments C．Simple guesses D．Others’ help 33．What did Stanley Miller’s experiment achieve? A．It created new life successfully. B．It found the exact origin of life. C．It produced basic life materials. D．It ended the research on life. 34．What difficulty do most scientists meet with? A．Failures and doubts B．Too many successful findings C．No time to do research D．Lack of learning resources 35．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．How to become a great scientist. B．The meaning of scientific spirit for teenagers. C．The difficulties of scientific research. D．The achievements of modern science. In some cities in the world, thanks to planting projects on walls and roofs, the temperature during the warmest month in so-called street valleys can be reduced by 3.6 ℃ to 11.3 ℃ at the hottest time of day. 36(0分) They include preserving biodiversity, improving well-being, being appealing to residents and suitable for the social context etc. Singapore has an otherworldly garden. The impressive “forest” of huge man-made trees there is a Singapore landmark. 37 25 to 50 meters tall in the city-state’s new business district, the 18 Solar Super-trees light up the night sky, their canopies looking like flying dishes. Vast glass greenhouses also showcase plants from five continents, which are complete with an artificial mountain and indoor waterfall. 38 With buildings all around and heavy traffic below, it grows more than 45 tons of organic produce a year. In a built-up city, it has been found that such programs are “fighting effectively against heat islands”. Now covering three rooftops and totaling more than 22,000 square meters, the farm grows a wide variety of vegetables. Medellin, Colombia’s second-biggest city, has its “green passages”, which have earned the city both praise and awards. 39 The combination has reduced the temperature by 2℃ and helped purify the air. Bees and birds have returned, residents are satisfied and gardening jobs have been created. 40 A．On a New York rooftop hides a farm. B．From floor to ceiling, produce grows at an upright farm.

His family had a lot of money, and whenever he liked something, they would buy it for him. In reality, then, he had no idea what things cost, and wouldn’t bother to take care of what he had. Nor did he realize how difficult it was for other children to get toys like the ones he had. A time came, though, when he was so used to all his toys that he began to want something different. One of his uncles found a fine horse and he gave it to Charlie, as something unusual. Charlie was very excited at having a horse. He learned to ride, and was constantly on his horse, going here and there. However, he treated the horse just as badly as he treated all his other toys, and it soon started looking sick. For the first time in his life Charlie became truly worried. He loved the horse, and the fact that his family had offered to buy him a new one meant nothing to him. One day, while in the countryside, he saw a little girl with a horse. The girl looked very poor, but the horse seemed happy and looked great. Wondering how she had managed this, Charlie secretly followed them, watching everything they did. First he followed them through the forest, where he saw that she never used the stick and never hit the horse. This was the opposite of what Charlie had done to his horse. Then they came to the stable (马厩), and as soon as they arrived the girl fed and watered the horse. Then she carefully cleaned it. Charlie was surprised. He’d never done any of those things for his horse. He saw that the girl spent a lot of time giving care and attention to her horse, and that she did it all on her own. This had never entered Charlie’s mind; he had always been too busy playing and having fun to look after the horse.Paragraph 1: Charlie wanted to change and become like the girl. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As a result, Charlie gave up constantly asking for new toys. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 Fascinating Parks（较易版02） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What will the speakers do this weekend?

But the park was not fully complete until 1876, almost 30 years after it was thought up. The park is now home to Central Park Zoo, the Delacorte Theater and the Literary Walk, which is made up of statues of famous writers. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）Positioned in diverse districts of Glasgow, these parks stand as essential green spots.

But he avoided contact with his grandmother, Grandma Joy, aged 85, due to a past disagreement. Years later, while hiking the Appalachian Trail, he found himself thinking a lot about his grandmother and the time they spent at Blue Rock State Park looking for crawfish. Then, Brad decided to visit Grandma Joy. Grandma Joy did what came natural to her. She gave him a big hug. “It was familiar and yet strange,”  said Brad. “It looked the same. But I was looking at a woman who had aged.”  They made small talks but then there was an awkward pause. Brad broke the ice by suggesting a visit to Blue Rock State Park. On the way there, Grandma Joy admitted she had many regrets in her life. One of them was that aside from this state park, she’d never had the chance to see the great outdoors. When they arrived at the creek, the special place where long ago they’d searched out the crawfish, they stood silently, lost in thought. A loud splash broke the silence. The tail of a massive beaver (狸) gliding below broke the water’s surface. Stunned, they both laughed. “We looked at each other,” said Brad, “and we both realized we were still the same people.” To make up for Grandma’s sadness of not seeing more of nature, Brad planned a camping trip to Great Smoky Mountains with Grandma. Despite Grandma Joy’s age, she surprised Brad by eagerly agreeing to go. That night, they sat by the campfire, feeling its warmth and gazing at the stars. Brad and Grandma opened the lock box of their past. They talked about families and parents, about loss, pain and regret, telling each other they’d wasted too many years being separated. The camping trip ended, but their outdoor adventure continued. Since then they have visited 62 national parks, covering over 50,000 miles in Brad’s car. Their age difference doesn’t matter as they are still on their way. 24．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Brad from the first two paragraphs? A．He was fond of travelling. B．He longed to visit state parks. C．He was touched by past memories. D．He avoided contact with his family. 25．(2.5分)How did Brad and Grandma feel when they saw the beaver? A．Awkward and confused.

B．To realize Grandma Joy’s wish. C．To break the ice with Grandma Joy. D．To recall the trip of Grandma Joy’s youth. 27．(2.5分)What can we learn from Brad’s camping trip with Grandma Joy? A．They decided to explore more parks. B．They brought back a lock box from the trip. C．They felt stressed because of age difference. D．They used to explore the great outdoors often. 【答案】24．C 25．D 26．B 27．A 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了布拉德·瑞恩回去看望祖母时，决定带祖母一起去蓝岩州立公园，二人度过了一段美好的时光。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段“Brad Ryan returned to his hometown after six years to pursue his studies. But he avoided contact with his grandmother, Grandma Joy, aged 85, due to a past disagreement.(六年后，布拉德·瑞恩回到家乡继续学业。但由于过去的不和，他避免与85岁的祖母乔伊奶奶联系)”以及第二段“Years later, while hiking the Appalachian Trail, he found himself thinking a lot about his grandmother and the time they spent at Blue Rock State Park looking for crawfish. Then, Brad decided to visit Grandma Joy.(几年后，在阿巴拉契亚山径徒步旅行时，他发现自己经常想起祖母，以及他们在蓝岩州立公园寻找小龙虾的时光。然后，布拉德决定去看望乔伊奶奶)”可推知，布拉德被过去的回忆所触动。故选C。 25．细节理解题。根据第四段“A loud splash broke the silence. The tail of a massive beaver (狸) gliding below broke the water’s surface. Stunned, they both laughed. “We looked at each other,” said Brad, “and we both realized we were still the same people.”(一声巨响打破了寂静。一只巨大的海狸在下面滑行，它的尾巴划破了水面。他们都惊呆了，笑了起来。“我们互相看了看，”布拉德说，“我们都意识到我们仍然是同一个人。”)”可知，当布拉德和奶奶看到海狸时，他们感到惊讶和宽慰。故选D。 26．细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“To make up for Grandma’s sadness of not seeing more of nature, Brad planned a camping trip to Great Smoky Mountains with Grandma.(为了弥补奶奶没有看到更多大自然的悲哀，布拉德计划和奶奶一起去大烟山露营)”可知，布拉德计划去大烟山国家公园露营是为了实现乔伊奶奶的愿望。故选B。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“The camping trip ended, but their outdoor adventure continued. Since then they have visited 62 national parks, covering over 50,000 miles in Brad’s car. Their age difference doesn’t matter as they are still on their way.(露营之旅结束了，但他们的户外冒险还在继续。从那以后，他们已经参观了62个国家公园，坐着布拉德的车行驶了5万多英里。他们的年龄差距并不重要，因为他们还在前进的路上)”可知，布拉德和乔伊奶奶的露营之旅结束后，他们继续探索了许多国家公园，并且他们还在前进，因此推断我们他们决定去探索更多的公园。故选A。 （本题10分）When the Derby Arboretum, one of the first public parks in England, opened in 1840, it was only open to the public on Sundays and Wednesdays. For the rest of the week, its fountains and pathways were reserved for paying customers, whose entry fees effectively supported the park. The system was scrapped in 1882, as the growing concern for public health among Victorian reformers sped up the creation of open public parks in towns and cities across England. Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum. But another form of gatekeeping is taking place in parks today. Councils that have seen their budgets severely reduced due to financial challenges are finding ways to turn parks into cash-generating properties, often by renting stretches of the land to fenced-off commercial events. These deals can be mutually (互相) beneficial, particularly when the park is sizable and locals are consulted. They can also seem like a destructive form of temporary privatization. Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园). Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals. The reliance on commercial income isn’t limited to London. Residents in Swansea and Manchester have complained about frequent fenced-off events. Councils find themselves in a difficult position. Parks are a non-essential service, and so they are at risk of cost-cutting. Income from events has become an increasingly important source of income. For councils that cannot make their parks pay, the risk is a thinning of local facilities and declining public space. Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future. 28．(2.5分)What does the underlined word “scrapped” in paragraph 2 mean? A．Simplified. B．Designed. C．Abandoned. D．Detailed. 29．(2.5分)Why was Tough Mudder criticized? A．It refused to consult the council. B．It designed inadequate obstacle courses. C．It involved quite a few local racers. D．It had an unfavourable environmental impact. 30．(2.5分)What is the concern about the reliance on commercial income for parks? A．Insufficient event facilities. B．Reduced parkland accessibility. C．Decreased park maintenance. D．Lack of interest from residents. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s opinion on parks? A．They should be truly for everyone. B．They should be funded by councils. C．They should be protected by park-goers. D．They should enhance community engagement. 【答案】28．C 29．D 30．B 31．A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讨论了英国公共公园的历史变迁及当前面临的商业化问题。文章通过德比植物园的例子，指出公园从部分收费到全面开放的转变，以及如今因财政压力导致的商业化趋势，并探讨了这种趋势对公众使用公园的影响。 【详解】28．词义猜测题。根据划线句后文“Anyone can now walk through the Derby Arboretum.( 现在任何人都可以进入德比植物园)”可知，划线句“The system was scrapped in 1882”表示该系统在1882年被废除，“scrapped”指原有的收费制度被“废除”。故选C。 29．细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Earlier this month, Haringey Council in north London rented part of Finsbury Park to Tough Mudder, a popular obstacle (障碍) course and run for adults. Initiatives that encourage outdoor exercise are welcome, but the size and nature of the event drew criticism after hundreds of racers turned the field into a sea of mud and damaged a community orchard (果园).(本月早些时候，伦敦北部的哈林区议会将芬斯伯里公园的一部分场地租给了“Tough Mudder”赛事组织方。该赛事是一项颇受欢迎的成人障碍赛跑活动。鼓励户外运动的举措是值得欢迎的，但该活动的规模和性质却引发了批评。因为数百名参赛者将场地变成了泥泞的海洋，并损坏了一处社区果园。)”可知，活动的规模和性质引发批评，因参赛者将场地变成泥海并破坏了社区果园，因此批评的原因是活动对环境造成了负面影响。 故选D。 30．细节理解题。根据文章第四段的“Races and festivals generate income that councils can reinvest in park maintenance, but they can also wall off areas of parkland, making them less accessible for locals.(各种赛事和节日能带来收入，这些收入可以被市政部门用于公园的维护工作，但同时这些活动也可能将公园的部分区域封闭起来，从而减少了市民对这些区域的访问便利性。)”可知，收入可以用于公园的维护，但是围起部分公园区域使当地人更难进入，因此可知依赖商业收入的担忧是公园可进入性降低。故选B。 31．推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Parks are one of the last areas of truly public space. They offer us fresh air and comfort, space to breathe and exercise. Councils should not have to depend on commercial income to safeguard their future.(公园是为数不多的真正属于公众的公共空间之一。它们为我们提供了清新的空气和舒适的环境，为我们提供了放松和锻炼的空间。政府不应依赖商业收入来保障公园的未来发展。)”可知，作者认为公园是最后的真正公共空间之一，议会不应依赖商业收入来保障其未来，因此推断作者认为公园应真正为所有人服务。故选A。 Never Stop Exploring: The Spirit of Scientists Scientists are people who keep asking questions and exploring the unknown. For hundreds of years, many great scientists have devoted their lives to scientific research, changing the world step by step. Their spirit of curiosity and perseverance inspires generations of people. Many people think scientific discoveries are made by lucky accidents. But New Scientist reports that most great findings come from long-term and repeated experiments. Stanley Miller, a famous American scientist, devoted himself to the study of the origin of life. In his famous experiment, he did not create life directly, but he successfully produced amino acids, the basic materials of life. His work laid an important foundation for later research on life origins. Scientific research is never smooth. Most scientists face countless failures before making breakthroughs. They may spend years on a single experiment and get no results. Some even face doubt and criticism from others. But they never give up their exploration. Their curiosity about nature and insistence on truth keep them moving forward. Today, young people can also learn from scientists. We don’t need to make great inventions at once. We can keep curious about the world, dare to question and keep trying when we meet difficulties. This is the most valuable scientific spirit. 32．(0分)What do most great scientific discoveries depend on? A．Lucky accidents B．Long-term repeated experiments C．Simple guesses D．Others’ help 33．What did Stanley Miller’s experiment achieve? A．It created new life successfully. B．It found the exact origin of life. C．It produced basic life materials. D．It ended the research on life. 34．What difficulty do most scientists meet with? A．Failures and doubts B．Too many successful findings C．No time to do research D．Lack of learning resources 35．What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A．How to become a great scientist. B．The meaning of scientific spirit for teenagers. C．The difficulties of scientific research. D．The achievements of modern science. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．B 【导语】文章阐述了科学家探索未知、坚持不懈的精神，指出重大发现源于长期实验而非运气，科研常伴失败与质疑。作者呼吁青少年保持好奇、勇于质疑，传承宝贵的科学精神。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Many people think scientific discoveries are made by lucky accidents. But New Scientist reports that most great findings come from long-term and repeated experiments.(许多人认为科学发现是靠幸运的偶然。但《新科学家》杂志报道，大多数重大发现都来自于长期的、反复的实验。)”可知，大多数伟大的科学发现依赖于长期的重复实验。 33．细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“In his famous experiment, he did not create life directly, but he successfully produced amino acids, the basic materials of life.(在他著名的实验中，他没有直接创造生命，但他成功地产生了氨基酸，即生命的基本物质。)”可知，Stanley Miller的实验成功制造了生命的基本材料。 34．细节理解题。根据文章第三段中的“Scientific research is never smooth. Most scientists face countless failures before making breakthroughs. They may spend years on a single experiment and get no results. Some even face doubt and criticism from others. (科学研究从来都不顺利。大多数科学家在取得突破之前，都会经历无数次失败。他们可能花数年时间进行一项实验却毫无成果，甚至还会遭到他人的怀疑和批评。)”可知，大多数科学家在研究中遇到的困难是失败和怀疑。 35．主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段中的“Today, young people can also learn from scientists. We don’t need to make great inventions at once. We can keep curious about the world, dare to question and keep trying when we meet difficulties. This is the most valuable scientific spirit.(今天，年轻人也可以向科学家学习。我们不需要立刻做出伟大的发明。我们可以对世界保持好奇，敢于质疑，并在遇到困难时不断尝试。这是最宝贵的科学精神。)”可知，最后一段主要讲述了青少年可以从科学精神中汲取力量，讲解了科学精神对青少年成长的重要意义。B选项“The meaning of scientific spirit for teenagers.(青少年科学精神的意义。)”符合题意。 In some cities in the world, thanks to planting projects on walls and roofs, the temperature during the warmest month in so-called street valleys can be reduced by 3.6 ℃ to 11.3 ℃ at the hottest time of day. 36(0分) They include preserving biodiversity, improving well-being, being appealing to residents and suitable for the social context etc. Singapore has an otherworldly garden. The impressive “forest” of huge man-made trees there is a Singapore landmark. 37 25 to 50 meters tall in the city-state’s new business district, the 18 Solar Super-trees light up the night sky, their canopies looking like flying dishes. Vast glass greenhouses also showcase plants from five continents, which are complete with an artificial mountain and indoor waterfall. 38 With buildings all around and heavy traffic below, it grows more than 45 tons of organic produce a year.

His family had a lot of money, and whenever he liked something, they would buy it for him. In reality, then, he had no idea what things cost, and wouldn’t bother to take care of what he had. Nor did he realize how difficult it was for other children to get toys like the ones he had. A time came, though, when he was so used to all his toys that he began to want something different. One of his uncles found a fine horse and he gave it to Charlie, as something unusual. Charlie was very excited at having a horse. He learned to ride, and was constantly on his horse, going here and there. However, he treated the horse just as badly as he treated all his other toys, and it soon started looking sick. For the first time in his life Charlie became truly worried. He loved the horse, and the fact that his family had offered to buy him a new one meant nothing to him. One day, while in the countryside, he saw a little girl with a horse. The girl looked very poor, but the horse seemed happy and looked great. Wondering how she had managed this, Charlie secretly followed them, watching everything they did. First he followed them through the forest, where he saw that she never used the stick and never hit the horse. This was the opposite of what Charlie had done to his horse. Then they came to the stable (马厩), and as soon as they arrived the girl fed and watered the horse. Then she carefully cleaned it. Charlie was surprised. He’d never done any of those things for his horse. He saw that the girl spent a lot of time giving care and attention to her horse, and that she did it all on her own. This had never entered Charlie’s mind; he had always been too busy playing and having fun to look after the horse.Paragraph 1: Charlie wanted to change and become like the girl. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: As a result, Charlie gave up constantly asking for new toys. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Charlie wanted to change and become like the girl. With the girl’s help he learned how to put care and attention into things, and that if you did so you would enjoy them much more. He learned that you could be much happier with only a few special things that you truly took care of than with thousands of toys that were only good for a short time and were then thrown aside. Charlie also learned that the care put into these things was sometimes difficult, but that all the efforts would be worthwhile.Paragraph 2: As a result, Charlie gave up constantly asking for new toys. He gave the girl many of his own toys, and more to other children in the village. He only kept those few toys he really liked. And, just as he had learned from the girl, he set himself to repair and care for those toys, so he could really enjoy playing with them. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了家境富裕的Charlie对自己所有的玩具一点也不爱惜，一天Charlie的叔叔送了一匹马给他，他依然不爱惜这匹马，所以马很快就生病了，后来Charlie在乡下看到一个小女孩，她非常爱护自己的马，马看起来很快乐，Charlie意识到自己总是忙于玩耍和娱乐，没有时间照顾马。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Charlie想要改变，变得像那个女孩一样。”可知，第一段可描写Charlie在女孩的帮助下发生的改变。 ②由第二段首句内容“因此，Charlie不再不断地要求买新玩具了。”可知，第二段可描写Charlie把玩具送给别人，并开始修理和照顾自己喜欢的玩具。 2.续写线索： 学会关心和集中注意力——感悟——不再不断地要求买新玩具——送玩具——开始修理和照顾玩具 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①照顾：take care of/look after ②放弃：give up/abandon ③修理：repair/fix 情绪类 ①高兴：happier/more delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1].
