Around the World in 80 Birds Inspiring secrets, national pride or scientific discoveries, every bird has a story to tell, from the weaver bird building multi-nest “apartment blocks” in Namibia to the bar-headed goose taking on a twice-yearly trans-Himalayan journey at an extreme altitude.

A World on the Wing Pulitzer-shortlisted Weidensaul, who’s at the forefront of research into bird migration, here tracks some of nature’s most remarkable journeys.

B My phone buzzed with a video titled “WARNING: 5 Foods That Are Actually Plastic.” My mother doesn’t offer advice; she issues warnings. I suspect her phone has declared war on me. Every time she scrolls, the feed whispers to her that my favorite snack is a “poison”. I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree. One day, she was telling me about a fitness contest at her gym, and I started lecturing about body fat percentages. While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. She was watching me with a blank expression, “If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now.” To my face, she’s a critic, but I caught her describing me as a “highly intellectual, talented person” on a call with my aunt. From the next room, I wondered, “Wait, who is she talking about? Am I that person?” She is the only one allowed to roast her children. It’s a “membership-only” club. Even when she praises me, it’s her way of saying, “I raised this, so of course it’s excellent,” although she just told me five minutes ago that my room looks like a disaster zone. Despite her warnings, she’s always the first I run to when I need help. Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. She looks at the picture, gives her signature nervous laugh and says, “I’m not a certified fashion designer.” But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. She eventually creates her own edition, and somehow, her version turns out better than the original. And maybe that’s just another way mothers say they love you. 4. Why does the author avoid challenging her mother’s claims? A. It will hurt her mother’s feelings. B. She respects her mother’s authority. C. It is useless to argue with her mother. D. She believes in warnings from her mother. 5. How does the mother sound in paragraph 3? A. Deeply annoyed. B. Playfully mean. C. Genuinely proud. D. Bitterly jealous. 6. What does the “membership-only club” indicate? A. Only the mother can criticize the author. B. Family members get automatic membership. C. The mother only praises the author in private. D. Club members are encouraged to judge the author. 7. What can be inferred about the mother from paragraph 6? A. She enjoys assigning festival tasks. B. She values professional certification. C. She takes pride in raising a designer. D. She expresses love through practical acts. C When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. Oskar Morgenstern first formally described this concept in the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Since then it has been widely used in economic theories and game theory. Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology, some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the tendency to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the primary strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. Thus, in modern environments, zero-sum beliefs are adopted under similar conditions of threat and resource-shortage and can be overcome only with thoughtful reflection. Zero-sum beliefs have important intrapersonal (内在的) and interpersonal consequences. At the intrapersonal level, greater approval of zero-sum beliefs is related to more negative (and less positive) effects, more desires and lower life satisfaction. Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally detrimental, such as when people who believe that their opponents gain at their cost fail to see opportunities for mutual benefit. More broadly, people who adopt zero-sum beliefs often feel lonelier. Thus, zero-sum beliefs may affect both the quality and the quantity of close personal relationships. To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange spare items or favors with others. Doing so provides the necessary ingredients for trust and mutual benefit to form, which are both necessary for any business or economy to perform at its best, in good times and in bad. 8. Which is the core of zero-sum mindset? A. Every coin has two sides. B. The other’s gain is your loss. C. Many hands make light work. D. United we stand, divided we fall. 9. What does paragraph 2 try to stress concerning zero-sum thinking? A. It is unique to humans. B. It tends to be short-lived. C. It helped ancestors survive. D. It is hardwired into humans. 10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Distinct. B. Complex. C. Harmful. D. Crucial. 11. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Trust is a two-way street. B. A true win-win is achievable. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Economy undergoes thick and thin. D Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. Positive tipping points in human societies and economies can bring about rapid reductions in emissions and other environmental harm, even as climate breakdown becomes increasingly damaging and dangerous. Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil-fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future. “The global economy is decarbonising (脱去……的碳) at least five times too slowly to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2℃,” said Professor Tim Lenton, from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “The challenge now is to identify potential positive tipping points, and the actions that can bring them forward — while avoiding wishful thinking about their existence, or oversimplification of their nature, drivers and impacts.” The paper sets out a method for identifying positive tipping points, assessing their proximity, identifying the factors that can influence them, and the actions that can lead to them. This includes looking for evidence that a system, or a similar system, has “tipped” in the past. Another factor is whether there is potential for “self-pushing uptake” of zero-or low-carbon behaviors. For example, as more people buy electric cars, the performance, price and infrastructure improve — making it easier for others to follow, and therefore accelerating the transition. “We know positive tipping can happen in sectors such as power and road transport,” said Dr Steve Smith, also from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.” 12. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By raising a question. B. By defining a key concept. C. By listing specific data. D. By telling a personal story. 13. What is the current situation of positive tipping points? A. They remain purely theoretical at present. B. They are too slow to affect global warming. C. They have occurred in some areas already. D. They are happening in all economic sectors. 14. What is Dr Steve’s attitude to the tipping points of nuclear power? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Electric Vehicles in Climate Action B. The Way to Decarbonise the Global Economy Rapidly C. Challenges of Reaching Environmental Tipping Points D. Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition 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。 One person’s trash is another’s treasure.

I want specific details. Begin!” I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn’t really have someone like that. Still, I lowered my head and began to write: My best friend is Hayley. She plays the cello (大提琴), like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, “You’ve got this.” We’ve been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn’t real, but it was easier than explaining why I didn’t have a best friend. In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal (排练) and gave me an encouraging smile. “You’ve got this,” she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn’t talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn’t forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had borrowed pieces of her to create Hayley. At school, I didn’t have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When I needed someone, I didn’t know who to turn to. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have. The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red “A”. “Hayley sounds wonderful! I’ve signed you and her up to perform a cello duo (二重奏) at next Friday’s Cultural Festival.” My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss. 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。 Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 莆田一中2026—2027学年度上学期高二10月月考试卷 高二英语 选择性必修一Unit 1-Unit 2 （试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟） 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段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文推荐四本关于鸟类的图书。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。首先对比四本书的价格：《Flamingo》（£35）、《Around the World in 80 Birds》（£22）、《A World on the Wing》（£9.99）、《Galapagos Crusoes: A Year Alone with the Birds》（£11.99）。由此可知，第二贵的书是《Around the World in 80 Birds》。再根据该书介绍中的“Mike Unwin’s tour is accompanied by beautiful illustrations from Ryuto Miyake.(迈克·安温的旅程伴随着Ryuto Miyake美丽的插图。)”可知，该书的插图作者是Ryuto Miyake。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据A World on the Wing部分“Pulitzer-shortlisted Weidensaul, who’s at the forefront of research into bird migration, here tracks some of nature’s most remarkable journeys. He sails through the stormy Bering Sea, encounters trappers in the Mediterranean and visits former headhunters in northeast India, where a bird migration crisis has become a conservation success story.(曾入围普利策奖的魏登索尔是鸟类迁徙研究领域的前沿学者，他在本书中记录下自然界中一些最震撼的迁徙旅程。他航行穿越风浪汹涌的白令海，在地中海遇见捕兽者，还走访印度东北部曾经的猎头族部落；在那里，一场鸟类迁徙危机最终变成了生态保护的成功案例。)”可知，A World on the Wing最适合那些关注候鸟生存状况的人。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Galapagos Crusoes: A Year Alone with the Birds部分“This is their clever and amusing description.(这是他们巧妙而有趣的描述。)”可知，这本书的特点是他的幽默表达。 B My phone buzzed with a video titled “WARNING: 5 Foods That Are Actually Plastic.” My mother doesn’t offer advice; she issues warnings.

While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. She was watching me with a blank expression, “If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now.” To my face, she’s a critic, but I caught her describing me as a “highly intellectual, talented person” on a call with my aunt. From the next room, I wondered, “Wait, who is she talking about? Am I that person?” She is the only one allowed to roast her children. It’s a “membership-only” club. Even when she praises me, it’s her way of saying, “I raised this, so of course it’s excellent,” although she just told me five minutes ago that my room looks like a disaster zone. Despite her warnings, she’s always the first I run to when I need help. Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. She looks at the picture, gives her signature nervous laugh and says, “I’m not a certified fashion designer.” But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. She eventually creates her own edition, and somehow, her version turns out better than the original. And maybe that’s just another way mothers say they love you. 4. Why does the author avoid challenging her mother’s claims? A. It will hurt her mother’s feelings. B. She respects her mother’s authority. C. It is useless to argue with her mother. D. She believes in warnings from her mother. 5. How does the mother sound in paragraph 3? A. Deeply annoyed. B. Playfully mean. C. Genuinely proud. D. Bitterly jealous. 6. What does the “membership-only club” indicate? A. Only the mother can criticize the author. B. Family members get automatic membership. C. The mother only praises the author in private. D. Club members are encouraged to judge the author. 7. What can be inferred about the mother from paragraph 6? A. She enjoys assigning festival tasks. B. She values professional certification. C. She takes pride in raising a designer. D. She expresses love through practical acts. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者与母亲之间充满吐槽却饱含深情的日常互动，展现了母亲用独特的批评式关爱表达对孩子的爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“I never challenge her claims, since she trusts a forwarded article more than my college degree. (我从不质疑她的说法，因为比起我的大学学历，她更相信转发来的文章。)”可知，母亲的观念根深蒂固，与她争论毫无意义，所以作者从不挑战她的说法。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中作者的情况“While I was spreading all this wisdom, I was glued to the sofa, extending one leg like a crane to grab the remote with my big toe to avoid sitting up. (我一边滔滔不绝地分享这些真知灼见，一边牢牢赖在沙发上，像鹤一样伸出一条腿，用大脚趾去勾遥控器，就不用坐起身。)”以及作者妈妈的评论“If you worked out as hard as you avoided standing up, you would be in great shape now. (如果你像避免站起来一样努力锻炼，你现在身材会很好。)”可知，母亲看到作者懒得用脚趾抓遥控器，用调侃的语气吐槽她的懒惰，由此可推知母亲的语气是开玩笑式的刻薄。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“membership-only club”前面的“She is the only one allowed to roast her children. (只有她才被允许吐槽自己的孩子。)”可知，该短语指只有母亲才有资格批评作者，别人不可以随意评判她的孩子。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Every festival or family event becomes her next design assignment. I send her screenshots of high-fashion looks, like a creative director with impossible demands. (每一个节日或家庭活动，都成了她的下一项设计任务。我会把高定造型的截图发给她，就像一个有着各种苛刻要求的创意总监。)”、妈妈的回复“I’m not a certified fashion designer. (我并不是持证时尚设计师。)”以及“But then she spends hours on the floor with chalk and a measuring tape. (但她还是花几个小时在地上用粉笔和卷尺量来量去。)”可知，母亲嘴上说自己不是专业设计师，实际却用心为作者制作节日服装。由此可推知母亲是通过实际行动来表达爱的。 C When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero. Oskar Morgenstern first formally described this concept in the 1944 book Theory of Games and Economic Behavior. Since then it has been widely used in economic theories and game theory. Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology, some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors who were forced to compete over limited resources. As such, the tendency to subjectively view resource distribution as zero-sum might have been the primary strategy in our evolutionary past, giving individuals with higher zero-sum beliefs a relative advantage over others. Thus, in modern environments, zero-sum beliefs are adopted under similar conditions of threat and resource-shortage and can be overcome only with thoughtful reflection. Zero-sum beliefs have important intrapersonal (内在的) and interpersonal consequences. At the intrapersonal level, greater approval of zero-sum beliefs is related to more negative (and less positive) effects, more desires and lower life satisfaction. Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally detrimental, such as when people who believe that their opponents gain at their cost fail to see opportunities for mutual benefit. More broadly, people who adopt zero-sum beliefs often feel lonelier. Thus, zero-sum beliefs may affect both the quality and the quantity of close personal relationships. To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange spare items or favors with others. Doing so provides the necessary ingredients for trust and mutual benefit to form, which are both necessary for any business or economy to perform at its best, in good times and in bad. 8. Which is the core of zero-sum mindset? A. Every coin has two sides. B. The other’s gain is your loss. C. Many hands make light work. D. United we stand, divided we fall. 9. What does paragraph 2 try to stress concerning zero-sum thinking? A. It is unique to humans. B. It tends to be short-lived. C. It helped ancestors survive. D. It is hardwired into humans. 10. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Distinct. B. Complex. C. Harmful. D. Crucial. 11. Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A. Trust is a two-way street. B. A true win-win is achievable. C. Opportunity knocks but once. D. Economy undergoes thick and thin. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍零和思维的概念、起源、带来的负面影响以及应对该思维的办法。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“When you were little, did you fight with your brother or sister about who would get the last gummy bear? Or who got to sit in the front of the ride? Behind these cases lies a hidden mindset — zero-sum thinking, a term that comes from math. In a zero-sum game, the total of gains and losses among the players always adds up to zero.(这些小事背后藏着一种隐性思维模式——零和思维，这是一个源自数学领域的术语。在零和博弈中，所有参与者的收益与损失相加总和永远为零。)”可知，零和思维的核心就是一方所得即另一方所失。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段中“Drawing on ideas of evolutionary psychology, some have argued that zero-sum thinking arose as a cognitive (认知的) adaptation within early-human ancestors who were forced to compete over limited resources.(依据进化心理学观点，有人提出零和思维是远古人类祖先为争夺有限资源而形成的一种认知适应。)”可知，本段强调零和思维根植于人类本能。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Zero-sum beliefs can also be interpersonally detrimental, such as when people who believe that their opponents gain at their cost fail to see opportunities for mutual benefit.(零和观念在人际交往方面同样是detrimental。比如，有些人认为对手的收获是以自己的损失为代价，这类人看不到实现互利共赢的机会。)”可知，零和思维在人际交往方面是有害的，detrimental意为“有害的”。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“To fight these effects, we can remember to remain mindful that there are numerous opportunities for non-zero-sum interactions with others, such as finding opportunities to exchange spare items or favors with others.(为对抗这些影响，我们要记住存在大量非零和互动的机会，比如互相交换闲置物品或互帮互助。)”可推断，作者认为真正的共赢可以实现。 D Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper. A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation. Positive tipping points in human societies and economies can bring about rapid reductions in emissions and other environmental harm, even as climate breakdown becomes increasingly damaging and dangerous. Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil-fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future. “The global economy is decarbonising (脱去……的碳) at least five times too slowly to meet the Paris Agreement target of limiting global warming to well below 2℃,” said Professor Tim Lenton, from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “The challenge now is to identify potential positive tipping points, and the actions that can bring them forward — while avoiding wishful thinking about their existence, or oversimplification of their nature, drivers and impacts.” The paper sets out a method for identifying positive tipping points, assessing their proximity, identifying the factors that can influence them, and the actions that can lead to them. This includes looking for evidence that a system, or a similar system, has “tipped” in the past. Another factor is whether there is potential for “self-pushing uptake” of zero-or low-carbon behaviors. For example, as more people buy electric cars, the performance, price and infrastructure improve — making it easier for others to follow, and therefore accelerating the transition. “We know positive tipping can happen in sectors such as power and road transport,” said Dr Steve Smith, also from the Global Systems Institute at the University of Exeter. “In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.” 12. How does the author present the topic in the first paragraph? A. By raising a question. B. By defining a key concept. C. By listing specific data. D. By telling a personal story. 13. What is the current situation of positive tipping points? A. They remain purely theoretical at present. B. They are too slow to affect global warming. C. They have occurred in some areas already. D. They are happening in all economic sectors. 14. What is Dr Steve’s attitude to the tipping points of nuclear power? A. Negative. B. Cautious. C. Optimistic. D. Indifferent. 15. Which can be the best title for the text? A. The Role of Electric Vehicles in Climate Action B. The Way to Decarbonise the Global Economy Rapidly C. Challenges of Reaching Environmental Tipping Points D. Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍专家提出要寻找“正向临界点”助力绿色转型，阐释其概念、识别方法以及不同领域的现实情况。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“A tipping point is a threshold (临界点) where a small change can cause a significant, often irreversible (不可逆转的), transformation.(临界点是一个阈值，微小变化可引发重大且往往不可逆转的转变。)”可知，作者通过对核心概念下定义的方式引出文章话题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Some positive tipping points are already happening — with solar power and electric vehicles rapidly replacing fossil‑fuelled alternatives — but many more are needed to ensure a sustainable future.(一些积极的临界点正在发生 —— 太阳能与电动汽车正在迅速取代化石燃料驱动的同类产品 —— 但还需要更多此类临界点，才能保障一个可持续的未来。)”可知，正向临界点已经在部分领域发生。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“In other sectors, there is little sign of approaching tipping points and in a few, such as nuclear power and concrete production, we should not expect there to be tipping points at all.(在其他行业，几乎没有接近临界点的迹象，而在少数领域，例如核能和混凝土生产，我们压根不应该指望会存在临界点。)”可知，史蒂夫博士认为核能领域不会出现临界点，对此持否定态度。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“Experts are calling for a global effort to identify “positive tipping points” to accelerate the green transition and have devised a method to find them in a new academic paper.(专家呼吁全球共同努力识别“正向临界点”以加速绿色转型，并在一篇新学术论文中设计出识别该临界点的方法。)”可知，文章围绕识别绿色转型的正向临界点展开，介绍正向临界点的含义、现实案例、识别方式和各行业的不同现状，因此“Identifying Positive Tipping Points for Green Transition(识别绿色转型的积极临界点)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 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。 One person’s trash is another’s treasure.

Charlton works at the centre’s onsite ReUse shop, and has saved a lot of rubbish from landfill (垃圾填埋场). The centre was built on an old sports field at Kings Road and opened in 1994. Charlton shows me around. It is a cold and rainy Friday morning. ____17____. By 10:30 in the morning, the place is already very busy. Throughout the day, I meet people getting rid of unwanted stuff: a couple throwing away woodwork and boxes, a woman dropping off pots of unused paint and another donating bird books. I meet production designer Alison Julian. The objects she finds will feature in TV, film, photo and video shoots. ____18____. “I seldom leave with less stuff than I arrived with,” she says. “This is the future,” says one of the waste management officers. “We live at a time when the climate is becoming crazier. In order to survive on this planet, we have to recycle.” ____19____. North London Waste Authority chair Clyde Loakes wants a push towards reuse and repair as well. “For my father’s generation, reuse was something that they grew up with,” says Loakes. “My dad can still pretty much fix basic electrical items. ____20____.” In the past 12 months, the NLWA has been running a program where residents can get household appliances fixed at a shop at a maximum discount of £50. “It’s nice,” says Charlton, “not to see things go to waste when they’ve got so much more life in them.” A. And she did. B. That’s not a skill I’ve picked up. C. But not everyone is in favor of recycling. D. That hasn’t stopped people from coming, anyway. E. I never thought a dead rabbit could make someone so happy. F. Others believe that doing so will require more than recycling. G. But today she is eyeing up a cast-iron log burner for her home. 【答案】16. A 17. D 18. G 19. F 20.

While some may view this as harmless and creative, I think it can also be disrespectful, harming teachers’ reputations and undermining their authority. Furthermore, using their images without consent raises privacy issues and mocking teachers’ appearances or personal lives can be hurtful. Humor should not come at the expense of respect. I suggest our school organize digital etiquette workshops to help students understand the difference between playful humor and harmful mockery. Additionally, creating guidelines for respectful meme creation could foster a more positive environment. After all, respect makes humor meaningful. Let’s think twice before clicking “share”.

I want specific details. Begin!” I sat with my pencil over my paper. For a moment, I hesitated. I knew I didn’t really have someone like that. Still, I lowered my head and began to write: My best friend is Hayley. She plays the cello (大提琴), like I do, and we go to orchestra every Saturday. She makes people laugh, and whenever I feel nervous, she tells me, “You’ve got this.” We’ve been best friends since fourth grade. I knew Hayley wasn’t real, but it was easier than explaining why I didn’t have a best friend. In fact, there was a girl in my orchestra class, Emily, who usually practiced the cello in the music room. Once, she helped me adjust my bow hold after a rehearsal (排练) and gave me an encouraging smile. “You’ve got this,” she said softly. I had also seen her patiently help another student work through a difficult passage, never showing the slightest impatience. We didn’t talk much because I was too shy to start a conversation, but I couldn’t forget her kindness. Without realizing it, I had borrowed pieces of her to create Hayley. At school, I didn’t have real friends. My classmates were polite and kind, but I was just too hesitant and shy to be the first to reach out. When I needed someone, I didn’t know who to turn to. When loneliness came over, I would imagine someone like Emily beside me, her gentle voice offering encouragement. She was the friend I wished I could have. The next day, Ms. Garcia returned my essay with a bright red “A”. “Hayley sounds wonderful! I’ve signed you and her up to perform a cello duo (二重奏) at next Friday’s Cultural Festival.” My heart skipped a beat. The lie I had built for protection suddenly turned into a trap. I was totally at a loss. 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。 Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Anxious, I decided to turn to Ms. Garcia. I walked to her office with heavy steps, my hands sweating. “Ms. Garcia, I have to tell you the truth,” I whispered, my voice trembling. I explained that Hayley wasn’t real — I made her up because I was too shy to admit I had no best friend. To my surprise, Ms. Garcia didn’t blame me. She patted my shoulder gently and said, “It’s brave of you to tell the truth. Why not ask Emily to be your partner? She’s kind and plays the cello well.” Her words gave me the courage I needed. The next day, I went to the music room to find Emily. She was practicing the cello, her fingers moving smoothly over the strings. Taking a deep breath, I walked over. “Emily, I…I was wondering if you’d like to play a cello duo with me at the Cultural Festival,” I said, avoiding her eyes. She stopped playing and smiled warmly. “I’d love to!” she replied. As we practiced together, we talked more — about music, our hobbies, and our fears. Slowly, I realized that the friend I had imagined was right in front of me, and I finally had a real best friend. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因害羞而缺乏真正的朋友，在老师布置写关于最好的朋友的作文时，作者虚构了一个名为Hayley的朋友，其形象借鉴了乐团同学Emily的优点。老师对作文评价很高，还安排作者和虚构的Hayley在文化节上表演大提琴二重奏，这让作者陷入困境。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“我满心焦虑，决定去找加西亚老师。”可知，第一段可描写作者跟老师说明了真相，老师鼓励作者请Emily做自己的搭档。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天，我去音乐教室找Emily。”可知，第二段可描写作者邀请Emily做搭档，Emily答应了并和作者畅聊，最终成为了朋友以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：说出真相——老师鼓励作者——邀请Emily做搭档——二人成为朋友——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①低语：whisper/murmur ②解释：explain/account for ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①温柔地：gently/tenderly ②令某人惊讶的是：to one’s surprise/to one’s amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1]As we practiced together, we talked more — about music, our hobbies, and our fears.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]Slowly, I realized that the friend I had imagined was right in front of me, and I finally had a real best friend.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，省略了关系代词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 $
