2026学年广州市第十六中学高三年级限时训练（一） 英语（问卷） 考试时间：120分钟 满分：120分 第Ⅰ卷 第二部分：阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live. Here are three newly-launched items that combine smart technology with everyday practicality. ON TRACK Screenless fitness trackers are the new trend in wearable workout gear. The first new Fitbit since 2023 enters that market, which competitors like Whoop and Oura have muscled into in recent years. The Fitbit Air is considerably cheaper than those options, and integrates with Google’s updated Health app. The tracker covers basic metrics like heart rate, blood oxygen and motion data during activity and sleep. All data is processed in the app, with an AI coach available for an additional $7.99 per month. Google Fitbit Air £84.99, store.google.com GOOD TIMING If time is running out to meaningfully slow down climate change, here’s a watch to both monitor the countdown and also feel slightly better about it. Detrash is a British watchmaking brand using recycled ocean plastics, steel and fashion industry offcuts (边角料) to create its timepieces. The watches — from dress to dive styles — come in at under £500. Most lines are limited editions, so if you see one you like, time is probably running out. Detrash ‘Midnight Flamingo’ From £375, detrash.com PLASTIC PROGRESS Up to 500,000 tonnes of textile microplastics enter the oceans every year, much from washing machines. Now, effective microplastic filters (过滤器) are being introduced, including a 2025 Moonshot Prize winner. Developed by Bristol-based Matter, the Regen filter can be built into machines or bought separately and installed at home. The company claims 97% effectiveness. It needs emptying every six weeks, with no replacement filters required. Regen Microplastic Filter From £199, matter.industries 1. Which is one of the advantages of the Fitbit Air? A.

In which section of a magazine would you probably find this passage? A. Smart Living. B. Wearable Tech. C. User Reviews. D. Green Innovations. B Few names in the history of magic bring more wonder and fascination than Harry Houdini, a legendary escape artist who turned impossible tasks into breathtaking live shows. Born in Budapest, Hungary, on March 24, 1874, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of four. He grew up in a common family in Wisconsin and lived a simple life in his childhood. He deeply admired a French magician named Jean Eugene Robert-Houdin, so he created his stage name after him, which later became a symbol for daring and spectacular escapes. Yet Houdini’s early career was far from successful. For years, he struggled to make a living by performing card tricks and small illusions at carnivals and street shows. His life changed completely when he discovered his extraordinary talent for breaking free from tight controls. His simple handcuff (手铐) escapes gradually evolved into daring tricks that attracted audiences worldwide. He freed himself from locked milk cans filled with water, got out of the dangerous Water Torture Cell while hanging upside down, and even survived after being buried six feet underground. These heart-stopping performances earned him the nickname “The Handcuff King” and made him one of the highest-paid entertainers of his time. Beyond his stage career, Houdini committed himself to exposing dishonest mediums and spiritualists who preyed on heart-broken families by pretending to communicate with their dead relatives. Believing that truth should never be sacrificed for profit, Houdini felt a strong responsibility to protect ordinary people from being cheated. Drawing on his comprehensive knowledge of magic skills, he clearly revealed how these cheaters created false illusions to fool common people. This meaningful act won him great praise, but also invited hatred and criticism from those he exposed. Unfortunately, Houdini’s remarkable life came to a sudden end in 1926, when he was only 52 years old. Up to now, almost a century has passed, but his innovative spirit, wonderful performing skills and persistent pursuit of truth continue to encourage modern performers and those who stick to facts, securing his legacy as the greatest escape artist in history. 4. What can we learn about Harry Houdini from paragraph 1? A. He was born into a well-off family. B. He moved to the USA in his teens. C. He was the best magician in history. D. He took his stage name in honor of his idol. 5. Why does the author describe Houdini’s escape acts? A. To illustrate his path to success. B. To compare different magic styles. C. To show how dangerous they are. D. To uncover the secrets behind them. 6. What drove Houdini to reveal dishonest spiritualists? A. His plan to get back at his critics. B. His desire for more recognition. C. His eagerness to prove his magic skills. D. His sense of justice and responsibility. 7. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of a Magic Legend B. A Magician’s Amazing Live Shows C. Houdini: More Than a Great Escape Artist D. Houdini: Champion Against Fake Spiritualists C Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off. The study grew out of a broader question about prosocial behavior — why some species help others and some don’t, says comparative ethologist Melitta Csepregi. To get at that, she and her colleagues compared 19 children (16-24 months old) with 38 untrained pet dogs and 22 cats — three species that live closely with humans but differ sharply in their evolutionary histories. In the experiment, a familiar caregiver — the child’s parent or the pet’s owner — interacted with a sponge (海绵) before turning away. Then an experimenter hid it in full view of the study subject. Across three trials — when the sponge was unreachable and covered, then visible but out of reach, then fully reachable — the caregiver searched, repeating, “I can’t find it. What should I do?” but never directly addressing the subject. The study, published in Animal Behaviour, found that all three groups paid similar levels of attention. But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver. Cats never approached it and only rarely indicated its location. So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy. Cats then approached and indicated the object as often as dogs and children did. “This brilliant study puts hard data to showing that cats aren’t mean but operate on a different evolutionary system,” says ethologist Elisabetta Palagi, who was not part of the study. Dogs and children, she notes, are evolutionarily hardwired to treat another’s problem as their own. Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves. “They truly are the efficient specialists of the animal kingdom.” 8. How does the author introduce the research topic in paragraph 1? A. By presenting a scientific theory. B. By citing pop culture images. C. By questioning certain stereotypes. D. By describing a rescue experience. 9. What can we learn about the experiment? A. The caregiver turned to the subject for help. B. The first three trials were randomly conducted. C. The last trial explored the cause of cats’ inaction. D. The subjects have identical evolutionary histories. 10. What does the underlined word “retrieving” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Fetching. B. Locating. C. Overlooking. D. Identifying. 11. What does Palagi mean by referring to cats as “efficient specialists”? A. They are less attached to humans. B. They are evolutionarily superior. C. They help only when it pays to do so. D. They are more efficient at problem-solving. D Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur. An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers. 12. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author? A. It generates positive feedback. B. It guarantees harmonious relationships. C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 13. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI? A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions. B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction. C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility. D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts. 14. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Conflicts with commercial interests. C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems? A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed. C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive. 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。 More than 30% of Gen Alpha children long to become social media creators, with around 32% of 12-15-year-olds naming “YouTuber” as their dream job. ____16____ This is where parental involvement becomes not just helpful, but vital, turning the risks into valuable teachable moments.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order. Sorry." 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I ran back to Gunter and told him the bad news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026学年广州市第十六中学高三年级限时训练（一） 英语（问卷） 考试时间：120分钟 满分：120分 第Ⅰ卷 第二部分：阅读理解（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和D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。 A From fitness tracking to sustainable fashion and home appliances, innovative products are changing the way we live.

For years, he struggled to make a living by performing card tricks and small illusions at carnivals and street shows. His life changed completely when he discovered his extraordinary talent for breaking free from tight controls.(然而，胡迪尼的早期职业生涯远非成功。多年来，他努力靠在嘉年华和街头表演纸牌戏法和小幻术谋生。当他发现自己有挣脱牢固控制的非凡天赋时，他的生活完全改变了。)”和“These heart-stopping performances earned him the nickname ‘The Handcuff King’ and made him one of the highest-paid entertainers of his time (这些惊心动魄的表演为他赢得了“手铐之王”的称号，使他成为当时收入最高的艺人之一)”可知，描述逃脱表演是为了展示他的成功之路。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Believing that truth should never be sacrificed for profit, Houdini felt a strong responsibility to protect ordinary people from being cheated.

C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项研究，探究了儿童、狗和猫的助人行为差异，揭示猫仅在自身获益时才会提供帮助。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Pop culture holds that if you’re trapped in a well, Lassie will lead the rescue — but if you’re stuck with Garfield, you’d better have some lasagna (千层面) in your pocket. And a recent study suggests such stereotypes (刻板印象) aren’t far off.(流行文化认为，如果你被困在井里，莱西会带队救援，但如果你和加菲猫困在一起，你最好口袋里装些千层面。近期一项研究表明，这类刻板印象并非毫无根据)”可知，作者通过引用流行文化中的形象引出研究主题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“So was it that the cats didn’t understand the cue, or did they just lack the motivation? To find out, the researchers added a final trial, replacing the sponge with food or a favorite toy.(是猫咪不理解暗示，还是仅仅缺乏动力？为了弄清这一点，研究人员增设了最后一轮实验，用食物或心仪玩具替换了海绵)”可知，最后一轮实验是为了探究猫咪无作为的原因。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“But children and dogs were more likely to show helping-related behaviors — approaching, indicating or retrieving the object. By the third trial, more than half the dogs and nearly half the kids indicated the object’s location, and some even brought it to the caregiver.(但儿童和狗狗更有可能表现出与助人相关的行为——靠近、指明或retrieving物品。到第三轮实验时，超过一半的狗和将近一半的孩子指明了物品的位置，有一些甚至把它拿给了看护者)”可知，retrieving在此处表示“取回、拿回”，与fetching含义一致。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Cats, however, remain autonomous, understanding the situation without feeling forced to intervene unless there’s a direct benefit for themselves.(然而猫咪保持独立，能认清状况，但不会被迫介入，除非能给自己带来直接好处)”可知，猫咪只在有利可图时才会提供帮助，这也是其被称作高效专精者的原因。 D Human well-being depends on the ability to navigate the social world. Such social skill depends on reliable feedback: acts of kindness may be met with gratitude; on other occasions, a misstep brings about a friend’s disapproval and recognition that an apology is needed. These moments are crucial for deepening trust and personal growth. Social life is rarely frictionless, because people are not perfectly in tune with one another. Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. Sycophancy (谄媚) is the opposite of this friction. Many users experience this when AI enthusiastically agrees with their ideas or writing. In academic contexts, the consequence may be investing more time in an average idea. But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. Now imagine a world where people routinely consult a sycophantic AI about interpersonal conflicts or moral dilemmas. They are repeatedly assured that they are right, that others are wrong, and that no apology is needed. Over time, this patterned sycophancy may reshape expectations about what feedback should feel like. Individuals may begin to anticipate the same constant affirmation from real human beings. The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur. An AI companion that is always “on your side” may keep users engaged and dependent. But it cannot teach them how to handle real relationships — how to disagree respectfully, repair damaged trust, or accept being wrong. Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. This tension raises fundamental ethical questions: Should we prioritize immediate emotional comfort or long-term social health? Who gets to decide? Addressing these challenges will require interdisciplinary collaboration among computer scientists, social scientists, ethicists, and policy makers. 12. What role does social friction play in relationships according to the author? A. It generates positive feedback. B. It guarantees harmonious relationships. C. It causes open disapproval or conflicts. D. It enhances social bonds and moral growth. 13. Which of the following is NOT a consequence of sycophantic AI? A. Misguided judgment about one’s actions. B. Reduced tolerance for interpersonal friction. C. Weakened willingness to take responsibility. D. Increased ability to resolve real-life conflicts. 14. What prevents AI systems from being improved to challenge users? A. Lack of technical capacity. B. Conflicts with commercial interests. C. Unawareness of its potential harm. D. Absence of interdisciplinary collaboration. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward current AI systems? A. Strictly neutral. B. Strongly opposed. C. Cautiously concerned. D. Mildly supportive. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讨论了谄媚式人工智能对人类社交能力和社会关系的潜在负面影响，指出这种AI虽然能提供情感安慰，但会削弱人们处理人际摩擦、承担责任和促进道德成长的能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Yet it is precisely through such social friction that relationships deepen and moral understanding develops. (然而，正是通过这种社会摩擦，关系才能加深，对道德的理解才能发展。)”可知，作者认为社会摩擦能够加深人际关系并促进对道德的理解更深刻。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“But as AI systems are increasingly consulted for guidance about relationships and conflicts, affirmation (肯定) of this kind may shape how people interpret their own actions and their perspectives of others, and in turn, how they respond to conflict and whether they take responsibility when things go wrong. (但随着人工智能系统被越来越多地用于人际关系和冲突方面的咨询，这种肯定可能会影响人们如何解读自己的行为和他人的观点，进而影响他们如何应对冲突以及在事情出错时是否承担责任。)”可知，谄媚式AI会导致人们对自己的行为判断失误（选项A）和承担责任意愿减弱（选项C）；根据第三段最后一句“The cumulative effect is a reduction in tolerance for the very social friction through which accountability, perspective-taking, and growth occur. (累积效应是对社会摩擦的容忍度降低，而正是通过这种社会摩擦，责任感、换位思考和个人成长才得以发生。)”可知，对人际摩擦容忍度降低（选项B）也是后果之一。“解决现实生活冲突能力的提升”文章没有提及。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Although AI could be improved to promote long-term personal development, such goals conflict with systems built to maximize user engagement. Challenging users or presenting uncomfortable truths is a sure way to drive them away. (虽然AI可以改进以促进长期个人发展，但这样的目标与为最大化用户参与度而构建的系统相冲突。挑战用户或呈现令人不舒服的真相肯定会把他们赶走。)”可知，AI系统无法被改造成挑战用户的模式，是因为这与其追求最大化用户参与度的商业利益相冲突。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。作者在第一段引出话题，指出社交摩擦虽然不可避免，但正是通过这种摩擦，人际关系才能加深、对道德的理解才能发展。第二段指出谄媚式AI会导致人们判断失误、逃避责任，在第三段指出其降低人们对社交摩擦的容忍度，在第四段指出其与商业利益的冲突及伦理困境，并呼吁跨学科合作来解决这些问题，表达了一种“谨慎担忧”的态度。 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。 More than 30% of Gen Alpha children long to become social media creators, with around 32% of 12-15-year-olds naming “YouTuber” as their dream job. ____16____ This is where parental involvement becomes not just helpful, but vital, turning the risks into valuable teachable moments. To that end, parents should communicate with kids in a curious and open manner rather than being critical. When children express the desire to be online influencers, parents should avoid shutting down their enthusiasm. ____17____ For example, they can ask why their children want to create online content and what they plan to post. By showing respect for their kids’ interests, parents build trust and naturally introduce safety topics like privacy settings and online boundaries. Beyond that, parents should help children develop safe digital habits. They can set up accounts together to adjust privacy settings, turn off location tagging, and set strong passwords. Meanwhile, children must be taught not to share private details such as home addresses, school names and daily schedules. ____18____ Warning children against hidden online dangers is equally necessary. As would-be young influencers start gaining visibility, they may be targeted by scams that aim to steal personal data. ____19____ They also need to recognize ill-intentioned strangers and dangerous behavior, such as frequent personal messages, requests for secrecy, or pressure to share private photos. Actually, children’s wish to create online content is a way to express their identity and creativity. ____20____ With proper parental guidance, young creators can build their voice without compromising their safety. A. These measures can effectively minimize online risks. B. However, this pursuit comes with potential digital risks. C. Teenagers tend to spend much time watching online videos. D. Parents should fully understand teenagers’ craze for online creation. E. Kids should learn to identify suspicious links, fake offers, and other traps. F.

Recently a survey about how to learn English beyond the classroom has been conducted. As can be clearly seen from the statistics, appreciating English songs accounts for 65 percent compared with 50% who choose to watch movies as a way of English learning. Reading English books prove to be the less popular ways making up 18%, together with visiting English learning websites, taking up 12% . It turns out that students attach greater importance to interest and entertainment instead of traditional approaches such as reading books when learning English.

I had planned to fly to Vienna and take a bus to Prague for a conference. Due to a big storm, my flight had been delayed by an hour and a half. I touched down in Vienna just 30 minutes before the departure of the last bus to Prague. The moment I got off the plane, I ran like crazy through the airport building and jumped into the first taxi on the rank without a second thought. That was when I met Gunter. I told him where I was going, but he said he hadn't heard of the bus station. I thought my pronunciation was the problem, so I explained again more slowly, but he still looked confused. When I was about to give up, Gunter fished out his little phone and rang up a friend. After a heated discussion that lasted for what seemed like a century, Gunter put his phone down and started the car. Finally, with just two minutes to spare we rolled into the bus station. Thankfully, there was a long queue (队列) still waiting to board the bus. Gunter parked the taxi behind the bus, turned around, and looked at me with a big smile on his face. "We made it," he said. Just then I realised that I had zero cash in my wallet. I flashed him an apologetic smile as I pulled out my Portuguese bankcard. He tried it several times, but the card machine just did not play along. A feeling of helplessness washed over me as I saw the bus queue thinning out. At this moment, Gunter pointed towards the waiting hall of the bus station. There, at the entrance, was a cash machine. I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the machine, and popped my card in, only to read the message: "Out of order.

Flashing him another apologetic smile, I begged him for a delayed payment. “If I miss this last bus to Prague, I’ll be late for the conference which is so important that I can’t afford to miss it!” I explained. “May I have your phone number? I will call you and return the money I owe you. I promise I will keep my word or you keep my watch!” I added, handing him my watch as well as my business card. Gunter accepted my business card but rejected my watch. He wrote down his phone number and gave it to me. “Just keep your promise, Sir.” A feeling of gratitude washed over me as I heard his words. Giving him a firm handshake, I jumped out of the car, made a mad run for the bus, and jumped onto it just before its departure. Para 2 Four days later, when I was back in Vienna, I called Gunter as promised. He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before. Beaming a warm smile at him, I gave him a big hug the moment I saw him. We chatted happily on the way to the airport. I told him that thanks to his generosity and timely help, everything had gone smoothly. When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down. I also gave him an attractive souvenir I had bought at Prague, which he accepted with delight. We became good friends and kept in touch with each other regularly. I felt blessed to have such a warm-hearted friend like Gunter. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在一次因风暴延误的旅途中，匆忙搭乘出租车前往车站赶最后一班去布拉格的公共汽车。司机冈特不熟悉车站位置，通过电话求助后顺利抵达。到达时作者却发现自己没带现金，尝试用葡萄牙银行卡支付没有成功，而车站的取款机也故障了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我跑回到冈特那里，告诉他这个坏消息。”可知，第一段可描写作者留下冈特的电话，承诺会还钱给对方，冈特同意，最终作者及时登上了公共汽车。 ②由第二段首句内容“四天后，当我回到维也纳时，我按照承诺给冈特打了电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者付费给冈特，并向对方表示感激，两人成为了好朋友。 2.续写线索：作者给出解决办法——承诺还钱——冈特同意——作者登上公共汽车——履行承诺还钱——两人成为朋友 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①拒绝：reject/refuse ②给某人拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb. ③记下，写下：write down/set down 情绪类 ①难以置信地：in disbelief/incredibly/unbelievably ②开心地：happily/joyfully 【点睛】【高分句型1】He picked me up at the bus station where he had dropped me off four days before.（运用了where引导的限制性定语从句） 【高分句型2】When he stopped his taxi outside the airport, I paid him for the “double car ride”, back and forth from the airport to the bus station, together with a generous tip that he turned down.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句，that引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
