This month we look at how museums and galleries are drawing attention to the legacies of Land Art and the way nature impacts on art. Emerging in the 1960s and 1970s, Land Art invites artists to create work situated within the landscape and use natural materials. Originating in America, it later became popular in Britain. Artists like Richard Long and Andy Goldsworthy inspire people to reconsider human-nature relations. Today, many artists draw inspiration from nature to reflect on issues such as pollution, climate change and land use. Brief introductions Andy Goldsworthy | Fifty Years is the artist’s largest indoor display, with more than 200 works. Goldsworthy is good at using natural materials such as clay, leaves and stones. Visitors can view records of Goldsworthy’s 50-year creative career in the downstairs galleries. Millet: Life on the Land is held to mark the 150th anniversary of French artist Jean-François Millet’s death. It features his realistic and poetic paintings of countryside labourers, such as farmers and shepherds (牧羊人). After Nature is set against the background of environmental crisis. It brings together artists using natural materials and exploring the complex relationship between art and technology. Exhibition Details Exhibition Location Highlights Duration Andy Goldsworthy | Fifty Years National Galleries Scotland, Edinburgh The exhibition is an indoor display of over 200 nature-based works. 26th September-2nd November Millet: Life on the Land National Gallery, London The show features Millet’s best-loved works, including The Angelus (1859). 7th August-19th October After Nature Somerset The show focuses on natural materials and the art-tech relationship. 13th September-25th October Additional Information You can discover more information on Bloomberg Connects, a free app which allows access to museums, galleries and cultural spaces around the world. 1.

B A school resource officer turned a failed summer field trip into an unforgettable memory for over 140 poor middle school students in Phoenix. When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help. Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’s after-school program. He also covered snacks including popcorn, candies and drinks for the private screening of Toy Story 5. For most kids, this was their very first time stepping into a movie theatre. The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers. Reavie said he would spare more money if needed, for he believed adults must never break promises made to children. Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway. Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3,000 taking students to a local water park. Inspired by children’s fondness for superheroes. he also founded a charity called Put On The Cape: A Foundation For Hope, aiming to bring warmth to more troubled youngsters. Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward. He expected nothing material in return, hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come. 4. Why did Jenkins ask Reavie for help? A. She lost the tickets for the movie trip. B. She lacked money for the planned trip. C. The snacks prepared were far from enough. D. The ticket prices had risen beyond the budget. 5. Why did the author mention students’ family backgrounds in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the backwardness of local education. B. To explain the expenses a family covered for the trip. C. To highlight the great value of the experience for kids. D. To praise Reavie for what he had done for the school. 6. Which of the following can best describe Reavie? A. Generous and warm-hearted. B. Devoted and patient. C. Modest and open-minded. D. Independent and reliable. 7. What was Reavie’s expectation for the kids? A. To hold on to their dreams. B. To treasure every moment in life. C. To seek personal material rewards. D. To pass on kindness to more people. C A study conducted in Austria has revealed that listening to music you dislike might actually increase your desire for sugary foods, even when your overall appetite drops. The findings, published in Appetite, suggest that disliked music triggers a form of compensatory (补偿的) eating — a psychological mechanism where the brain seeks high-reward comfort foods to reduce negative emotions. The research team, led by Jonas Potthoff and Anne Schienle, divided 106 participants into three groups: one listened to self-selected liked music, another listened to disliked music, and a third experienced silence. Before and after the listening session, participants rated their general desire to eat and their emotional state. They were then presented with a buffet table displaying three high-sugar items, three low-sugar options, and three non-food objects. Using an eye tracker, the researchers recorded visual attention before allowing participants to eat freely. The results were striking. After listening to disliked music, participants reported a lower general desire to eat — yet nearly 62% of them chose high-sugar sweets. In contrast, only 24% of those who listened to liked music favored sugary treats, with the majority preferring fruits. The no-music group fell in between, at 38%. Interestingly, the disliked music did not significantly change visual attention toward food. Participants looked at food items longer than non-food items regardless of the musical condition, suggesting that the preference for sugar was driven by mood regulation rather than visual fixation. Because the unpleasant music undermined their emotional state, their brains in turn reached for comfort food rich in sugar as a coping mechanism-a classic example of emotional eating. The authors concluded that music can influence food-related decision-making independently of attentional processes. While liked music may encourage healthier choices, disliked music increases the tendency to choose high-sugar foods even when the general appetite is depressed. These findings highlight music’s potential as a subtle (微妙的), non-caloric influence for promoting low-sugar eating behavior. 8. Why do people prefer sugary food after hearing unpleasant music? A. Bad music makes people pay visual attention to sweets. B. Sugary food can help relieve bad feelings. C. People’s overall appetite grows stronger under negative feelings. D. Sweet food can completely remove stress caused by music. 9. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. They surveyed people’s music preferences. B. They compared subjects’ food choices across groups. C. They analyzed different causes of bad moods. D. They recorded people’s brain activity after eating. 10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “undermined” in paragraph 5? A. maintained. B. restored. C. improved. D. worsened. 11. What can we infer about the effect of music from the text? A. Pleasant music may help people pick healthier food. B. A music-free environment leads to the lowest sugar intake. C. Bad music can totally make people lose interest in food. D. Your visual preference for food is determined by music. D Have you ever witnessed the astonishing beauty of auroras (极光)? They are a gift from the heavens resulting from the interaction between the atmosphere and cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射). However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation. According to South Korean authorities, the flight attendant flew about 1,022 annual hours throughout his career, with half of his flights spent crossing the regions in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation reaches extraordinarily high levels. Cosmic radiation, which comes from the sun and other stars in the galaxy, is constantly hitting Earth. Cosmic radiation can be divided into two types: solar radiation and galactic cosmic radiation. Solar radiation comprises charged particles (带电粒子) sent out by the sun, known as the solar wind, while galactic cosmic radiation comes from the remaining parts of supernovas (超新星). Despite the continuous and powerful nature of cosmic radiation, we are generally protected from its worst effects. Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere provide protection from this radiation, with the magnetic field being strongest in tropical areas and weakest at the poles. Consequently, individuals living in higher latitudes (纬度), like Heilongjiang province, experience slightly more cosmic radiation than those in lower latitudes, such as Hainan province. Moreover, at higher altitudes, such as when passengers are flying on an airplane, the thinner atmosphere results in more intense exposure to cosmic radiation. For astronauts and flight attendants on polar routes, lacking the protection offered by Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere exposes them to potential health risks. According to NASA, astronauts who spend six months in space encounter a radiation exposure roughly equal to undergoing 1,000 chest X-rays. However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential. Joseph, a particle physicist and his members found the high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors. Scientists can now artificially produce charged particles similar to cosmic radiation. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, charged particles can target tumors more effectively with less harm to the surrounding healthy tissues, according to Joseph 12. What can we know about cosmic radiation from paragraph 2? A. It may lead to a higher risk of cancer. B. It is composed of charged particles alone. C. It generates harmful substances in the atmosphere. D. It mainly results from the remaining parts of supernovas. 13. Who would be exposed to the most cosmic radiation? A. Passengers flying on an airplane. B. Residents living in Hainan province. C. Workers exploring at the poles. D. Researchers studying in the tropical areas. 14. Which statement does Joseph probably agree with? A. Cosmic radiation can confirm the tumor types. B. Cosmic radiation can cure cancer patients. C. Cosmic radiotherapy does no harm to patients’ tissues. D. Cosmic radiation is promising in the medical application. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cosmic Radiation: Hidden Health Risks B. Cosmic Radiation: Dangers for Air-workers C. Cosmic Radiation: a Double-edged Sword D. Cosmic Radiation: Hope for Medical Treatment 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。 Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement.

Though it was a necessary part of his high school graduation requirement, the place always smelled of old medicine and felt extremely dull. On every volunteer day, he only finished the basic tasks, passing out water and keeping to himself to avoid talking to the residents. The resident he disliked most was Mr. Henderson, an irritable (易怒的) 80-year-old man who always stayed in his wheelchair at the far corner of the activity room. Mr. Henderson rarely smiled, never joined group events, and often complained about noisy teen volunteers. Sam always stayed away from him, annoyed by his endless complaints. However, he had noticed a small thing about the old man: he always kept an old, worn songbook on his knees. Sometimes he stroked its pages softly, his lips moving slightly as if murmuring familiar tunes. Sam guessed music might be the only comfort left for the lonely old man. On a rainy and windy Saturday, the nursing home was ready for its monthly music activity. All the residents sat in the hall, eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to show up. Yet at 2 p.m., activity coordinator (协调员) Sarah rushed in, looking very worried. “The band’s bus has broken down on the road,” she said in a slightly shaky voice. “They can’t come today.” Sadness spread across the whole room. Some residents sighed loudly, while others lowered their heads in disappointment. Sarah looked around helplessly, until her eyes landed on an old piano covered with dust in the corner. “Is there anyone who can play the piano?” she asked the residents. Sam suddenly froze. He had learned to play the piano at the age of six and was quite good at it. But he was terrified at the thought of playing before a crowd. He kept his eyes on the ground, hoping no one would notice him. But when he looked up at the audience, he changed his mind. For the first time, these people were not annoying strangers to him, but a group of elders who had eagerly hoped for a little happiness. He looked at Mr. Henderson, who no longer had a frown on his face, but just stared quietly at the unused piano. 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。 At that point, Sam decided to do something. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Much to people’s amazement, a rough, trembling voice started singing with the music. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年下学期第一次质量检测 英语 时量：120分钟 分值:150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.

When the funding for the end-of-summer movie trip was unexpectedly cancelled, program organizer Katie Jenkins was at a loss. She turned to Officer Sean Reavie for help. Without hesitation, Reavie paid out of his own pocket to rent a whole movie theatre for 144 seventh and eighth graders from Greenway Middle School’s after-school program. He also covered snacks including popcorn, candies and drinks for the private screening of Toy Story 5. For most kids, this was their very first time stepping into a movie theatre. The whole rental cost less than $2,000, yet the experience meant far more to these teenagers. Reavie said he would spare more money if needed, for he believed adults must never break promises made to children. Greenway is a Title I school, where most students come from financially disadvantaged families. Many have no private cars, and their parents hold several low-paying jobs to make ends meet. Half of these kids have never visited a water park, let alone travelled across the nearby highway. Reavie has kept helping kids with his own money year after year. Last summer, he spent over $3,000 taking students to a local water park. Inspired by children’s fondness for superheroes. he also founded a charity called Put On The Cape: A Foundation For Hope, aiming to bring warmth to more troubled youngsters. Before the movie rolled, Reavie shared a heartfelt wish with all the kids: grow up and pay it forward. He expected nothing material in return, hoping this single act of generosity would plant seeds of kindness that would bloom for years to come. 4. Why did Jenkins ask Reavie for help? A. She lost the tickets for the movie trip. B. She lacked money for the planned trip. C. The snacks prepared were far from enough. D. The ticket prices had risen beyond the budget. 5. Why did the author mention students’ family backgrounds in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the backwardness of local education. B. To explain the expenses a family covered for the trip. C. To highlight the great value of the experience for kids. D. To praise Reavie for what he had done for the school. 6. Which of the following can best describe Reavie? A. Generous and warm-hearted. B. Devoted and patient. C. Modest and open-minded. D. Independent and reliable. 7. What was Reavie’s expectation for the kids? A. To hold on to their dreams. B. To treasure every moment in life. C. To seek personal material rewards. D. To pass on kindness to more people. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7.

(电影开始播放前，Reavie向所有孩子们道出了自己的衷心祝愿：长大后要把这份善意传递下去。他不期望任何物质上的回报，只希望这一次慷慨之举能种下善意的种子，在未来的岁月里生根发芽、绽放开花。)”可知，Reavie期望孩子们能像他一样做善事，将善意传递给更多人。 C A study conducted in Austria has revealed that listening to music you dislike might actually increase your desire for sugary foods, even when your overall appetite drops. The findings, published in Appetite, suggest that disliked music triggers a form of compensatory (补偿的) eating — a psychological mechanism where the brain seeks high-reward comfort foods to reduce negative emotions. The research team, led by Jonas Potthoff and Anne Schienle, divided 106 participants into three groups: one listened to self-selected liked music, another listened to disliked music, and a third experienced silence. Before and after the listening session, participants rated their general desire to eat and their emotional state. They were then presented with a buffet table displaying three high-sugar items, three low-sugar options, and three non-food objects. Using an eye tracker, the researchers recorded visual attention before allowing participants to eat freely. The results were striking. After listening to disliked music, participants reported a lower general desire to eat — yet nearly 62% of them chose high-sugar sweets. In contrast, only 24% of those who listened to liked music favored sugary treats, with the majority preferring fruits. The no-music group fell in between, at 38%. Interestingly, the disliked music did not significantly change visual attention toward food. Participants looked at food items longer than non-food items regardless of the musical condition, suggesting that the preference for sugar was driven by mood regulation rather than visual fixation. Because the unpleasant music undermined their emotional state, their brains in turn reached for comfort food rich in sugar as a coping mechanism-a classic example of emotional eating. The authors concluded that music can influence food-related decision-making independently of attentional processes. While liked music may encourage healthier choices, disliked music increases the tendency to choose high-sugar foods even when the general appetite is depressed. These findings highlight music’s potential as a subtle (微妙的), non-caloric influence for promoting low-sugar eating behavior. 8. Why do people prefer sugary food after hearing unpleasant music? A. Bad music makes people pay visual attention to sweets. B. Sugary food can help relieve bad feelings. C. People’s overall appetite grows stronger under negative feelings. D. Sweet food can completely remove stress caused by music. 9. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. They surveyed people’s music preferences. B. They compared subjects’ food choices across groups. C. They analyzed different causes of bad moods. D. They recorded people’s brain activity after eating. 10. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “undermined” in paragraph 5? A. maintained. B. restored. C. improved. D. worsened. 11. What can we infer about the effect of music from the text? A. Pleasant music may help people pick healthier food. B. A music-free environment leads to the lowest sugar intake. C. Bad music can totally make people lose interest in food. D. Your visual preference for food is determined by music. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了奥地利一项研究表明，不喜欢的音乐会触发补偿性进食，让人更想吃高糖食物以缓解坏情绪，悦耳音乐则利于健康饮食，音乐可影响人们的食物选择。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The findings, published in Appetite, suggest that disliked music triggers a form of compensatory (补偿的) eating a psychological mechanism where the brain seeks high-reward comfort foods to reduce negative emotions. (发表在《食欲》上的研究结果表明,不喜欢的音乐会引发一种补偿性进食形式这是一种心理机制，即大脑通过寻求高回报的安慰食物来减轻负面情绪。)”可知，人们听到不悦的音乐后更喜欢吃甜食，因为甜食有助于缓解不良情绪。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The research team, led by Jonas Potthoff and Anne Schienle, divided106 participants into three groups: one listened to self-selected liked music, another listened to disliked music, and a third experienced silence. Before and after the listening session, participants rated their general desire to eat and their emotional state. They were then presented with a buffet table displaying three high-sugar items, three low-sugar options, and three non-food objects. (由约纳斯·波特霍夫和安妮·施恩勒领导的研究团队将106名参与者分为三组：一组听自己选择的喜欢的音乐，另一组听不喜欢的音乐，第三组则体验静默。在聆听前和聆听后，参与者分别评估了自己对进食的一般欲望以及情绪状态。随后，他们被展示了一张自助餐桌，上面摆放着三种高糖食品、三种低糖选项以及三种非食物物品。)”可知，研究人员通过比较不同组别受试者的食物选择开展这项研究。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段“Because the unpleasant music undermined their emotional state, their brains in turn reached for comfort food rich in sugar as a coping mechanism a classic example of emotional eating. (由于令人不快的音乐undermined了他们的情绪状态,他们的大脑转而选择富含糖分的安慰食物作为应对机制，这正是情绪性进食的经典例子。)”可知，不悦的音乐使情绪变差、恶化，从而导致情绪化进食。故划线词意思是“恶化”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“While liked music may encourage healthier choices, disliked music increases the tendency to choose high-sugar foods even when the general appetite is depressed. (虽然喜欢的音乐可能促进更健康的饮食选择，但不喜欢的音乐会增加人们即使整体食欲下降时仍选择高糖食物的倾向。)”可知，令人愉悦的音乐可能有助于人们选择更健康的食物。 D Have you ever witnessed the astonishing beauty of auroras (极光)? They are a gift from the heavens resulting from the interaction between the atmosphere and cosmic radiation (宇宙辐射). However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation. According to South Korean authorities, the flight attendant flew about 1,022 annual hours throughout his career, with half of his flights spent crossing the regions in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation reaches extraordinarily high levels. Cosmic radiation, which comes from the sun and other stars in the galaxy, is constantly hitting Earth. Cosmic radiation can be divided into two types: solar radiation and galactic cosmic radiation. Solar radiation comprises charged particles (带电粒子) sent out by the sun, known as the solar wind, while galactic cosmic radiation comes from the remaining parts of supernovas (超新星). Despite the continuous and powerful nature of cosmic radiation, we are generally protected from its worst effects. Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere provide protection from this radiation, with the magnetic field being strongest in tropical areas and weakest at the poles. Consequently, individuals living in higher latitudes (纬度), like Heilongjiang province, experience slightly more cosmic radiation than those in lower latitudes, such as Hainan province. Moreover, at higher altitudes, such as when passengers are flying on an airplane, the thinner atmosphere results in more intense exposure to cosmic radiation. For astronauts and flight attendants on polar routes, lacking the protection offered by Earth’s magnetic field and atmosphere exposes them to potential health risks. According to NASA, astronauts who spend six months in space encounter a radiation exposure roughly equal to undergoing 1,000 chest X-rays. However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential. Joseph, a particle physicist and his members found the high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors. Scientists can now artificially produce charged particles similar to cosmic radiation. Compared to conventional radiotherapy, charged particles can target tumors more effectively with less harm to the surrounding healthy tissues, according to Joseph 12. What can we know about cosmic radiation from paragraph 2? A. It may lead to a higher risk of cancer. B. It is composed of charged particles alone. C. It generates harmful substances in the atmosphere. D. It mainly results from the remaining parts of supernovas. 13. Who would be exposed to the most cosmic radiation? A. Passengers flying on an airplane. B. Residents living in Hainan province. C. Workers exploring at the poles. D. Researchers studying in the tropical areas. 14. Which statement does Joseph probably agree with? A. Cosmic radiation can confirm the tumor types. B. Cosmic radiation can cure cancer patients. C. Cosmic radiotherapy does no harm to patients’ tissues. D. Cosmic radiation is promising in the medical application. 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Cosmic Radiation: Hidden Health Risks B. Cosmic Radiation: Dangers for Air-workers C. Cosmic Radiation: a Double-edged Sword D. Cosmic Radiation: Hope for Medical Treatment 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了宇宙辐射的危害以及应用潜能。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation. (然而，在韩国，一名53岁的空乘员因长期暴露在强烈的宇宙辐射下而死于癌症。)”可知，宇宙辐射可能会导致更高的癌症风险。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“According to South Korean authorities, the flight attendant flew about 1,022 annual hours throughout his career, with half of his flights spent crossing the regions in and around the North Pole, where cosmic radiation reaches extraordinarily high levels. (据韩国当局称，这名空乘员在他的职业生涯中每年飞行约1022小时，其中一半的飞行是在北极及其周围地区进行的，那里的宇宙辐射水平非常高。)”可推知，在两极探险的工人会暴露在最多的宇宙辐射中。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential. Joseph, a particle physicist and his members found the high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors. (然而，令宇宙辐射具有危险性的特性同样具备治疗潜力。粒子物理学家约瑟夫和他的团队成员发现，宇宙辐射的高速和能量为治疗肿瘤提供了研究启示。)”可知，约瑟夫认为宇宙辐射的高速和能量为治疗肿瘤提供了研究启示，所以他会赞同“宇宙辐射在医学上很有前景”这一说法。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“However, in South Korea, a flight attendant, 53, died from cancer due to long exposure to intense cosmic radiation.(然而在韩国，一名53岁的乘务员因长期暴露于强烈的宇宙辐射而死于癌症。)”以及最后一段中“However, what makes cosmic radiation dangerous also holds treatment potential. Joseph, a particle physicist and his members found the high speed and energy of cosmic radiation have provided insights into treating tumors.(然而，使宇宙辐射危险的因素也具有治疗潜力。粒子物理学家约瑟夫及其团队成员发现，宇宙辐射的高速和高能量为治疗肿瘤提供了启示。)”可知，文章既介绍了宇宙辐射对健康的危害，又指出其在肿瘤治疗方面的潜力，说明宇宙辐射是一把双刃剑，C项“Cosmic Radiation: a Double-edged Sword(宇宙辐射：一把双刃剑)”最能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。 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。 Museums, once quiet places filled with history, are now full of digital excitement.

Though it was a necessary part of his high school graduation requirement, the place always smelled of old medicine and felt extremely dull. On every volunteer day, he only finished the basic tasks, passing out water and keeping to himself to avoid talking to the residents. The resident he disliked most was Mr. Henderson, an irritable (易怒的) 80-year-old man who always stayed in his wheelchair at the far corner of the activity room. Mr. Henderson rarely smiled, never joined group events, and often complained about noisy teen volunteers. Sam always stayed away from him, annoyed by his endless complaints. However, he had noticed a small thing about the old man: he always kept an old, worn songbook on his knees. Sometimes he stroked its pages softly, his lips moving slightly as if murmuring familiar tunes. Sam guessed music might be the only comfort left for the lonely old man. On a rainy and windy Saturday, the nursing home was ready for its monthly music activity. All the residents sat in the hall, eagerly waiting for the local volunteer band to show up. Yet at 2 p.m., activity coordinator (协调员) Sarah rushed in, looking very worried. “The band’s bus has broken down on the road,” she said in a slightly shaky voice. “They can’t come today.” Sadness spread across the whole room. Some residents sighed loudly, while others lowered their heads in disappointment. Sarah looked around helplessly, until her eyes landed on an old piano covered with dust in the corner. “Is there anyone who can play the piano?” she asked the residents. Sam suddenly froze. He had learned to play the piano at the age of six and was quite good at it. But he was terrified at the thought of playing before a crowd. He kept his eyes on the ground, hoping no one would notice him. But when he looked up at the audience, he changed his mind. For the first time, these people were not annoying strangers to him, but a group of elders who had eagerly hoped for a little happiness. He looked at Mr. Henderson, who no longer had a frown on his face, but just stared quietly at the unused piano. 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。 At that point, Sam decided to do something. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Much to people’s amazement, a rough, trembling voice started singing with the music. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Sample: At that point, Sam decided to do something. Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and offered to play the piano. He walked slowly to the dusty piano in the corner, wiped off the dirt on the keys and sat down gently. Though nervous at first, he soon relaxed himself. As his fingers touched the keys, beautiful and smooth melodies flowed out. The soft music instantly filled the entire hall. All the disappointed residents quieted down, focusing on the pleasant music and temporarily forgetting their disappointment. Much to people’s amazement, a rough, trembling voice started singing with the music. It was the always grumpy Mr. Henderson. He opened his worn songbook and sang softly to the rhythm. His face was no longer full of complaints but covered with gentle calmness. Inspired by him, other residents joined in the singing one after another. Warmth and joy flooded the room. Sam finally let go of his prejudice against the old man. He realized that volunteering was never a boring task, but a warm encounter that brought happiness to others and helped him grow. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Sam在养老院的志愿服务经历为线索展开，讲述了高中生Sam为完成毕业要求去养老院做志愿，他厌烦那里的沉闷氛围和易怒的老人Mr. Henderson；某次音乐活动日乐队缺席，老人们失望之际，Sam内心发生转变。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可以写Sam克服紧张主动上台弹钢琴，优美旋律充满大厅，老人们安静下来沉浸其中。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可以写Mr. Henderson出人意料地开口跟唱，其他老人纷纷加入，Sam放下偏见，领悟志愿服务的真谛。 2.续写线索： 厌烦志愿——躲避老人——乐队缺席——内心转变——主动弹琴——老人开唱——众人合唱——放下偏见——领悟志愿真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①举起：raise/lift/elevate ②走：walk/march/approach ③坐下：sit down/be seated/settle 情绪类： ① 紧张：nervous/anxious/tense/uneasy ② 失望：disappointment/despair/frustration/dismay 【点睛】【高分句型1】Taking a deep breath, he raised his hand and offered to play the piano.
