B. They are both located in historic buildings. C. They mainly support new artists. D. They are known for modern facilities. B When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community. In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee — and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be. However, her job isn’t without difficulties. “Hearing people have been injured, like in a big hurricane, is really hard,” she said. “We try our best to predict the weather as best as we can, and we are getting better. But it can always change.” Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult. Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.” She wants kids to know they should never give up on their education or their dreams. 4. Why was the disaster in Ruiz’s hometown mentioned in the text? A. To call on people to prepare for disasters. B. To introduce Ruiz’s unusual childhood experience. C. To offer a successful example of weather forecast. D. To show Ruiz’s understanding of the work of a meteorologist. 5. What is a challenge of predicting the weather according to the text? A. Climate change. B. People’s injury. C. Poor technology. D. Lack of experience. 6. Which word can best describe Ruiz according to the last paragraph? A. Creative. B. Clever. C. Hard-working. D. World-famous. 7. In which section of a newspaper may the text appear? A. Sports. B. People. C. Education. D. Health. C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant (抗旱的) varieties of corn. The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic-mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning (水力模式)”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. “Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.” Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress—a model plant often used in research—the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air. Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said. 8. What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study? A. Drought-resistant corn varieties. B. Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening. C. Genetic control of root branching. D. Impact of climate change on plant roots. 9. What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks? A. Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth. B. Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems. C. Root branching conserves energy for higher production. D. Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth. 10. What can we learn about ethylene from paragraph 5? A. It has long been known to control corn roots’ response to water. B. It works with auxin to promote root branching toward water. C. It prevents root branching when the root comes into contact with air. D. It is the only plant hormone affecting corn roots’ water response. 11. What does the last paragraph suggest future research do? A. Prioritize development of new corn varieties. B. Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions. C. Concentrate merely on localized root responses. D. Expand practical applications of hydropatterning. D From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton (浮游生物) that gives off sparkling blue, glowing plants are nothing new for nature. Now, scientists are bringing that light to houseplants. Reporting in the Cell Press journal Matter on August 27, researchers crafted glow-in-the-dark succulents (肉质植物) that recharge in sunlight. Injected with light-emitting compounds, the plants can shine in various colors and match a small night light at their brightest. The simple, low-cost method may help lay the foundation for sustainable, plant-based lighting systems. “Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar, where glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem,” says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University. “We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights.” Glowing greenery isn’t a new idea. Past studies have designed similar plants using genetic engineering. But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green. The methods were also complex and costly. Instead of changing cells to glow through genetic modification, researchers from South China Agricultural University used afterglow phosphor (磷光粉) particles — materials similar to those found in glow-in-the-dark toys. These compounds absorb light and release it slowly over time. For the particles to travel through leaf tissues, the researchers had to get the size just right: around 7 micrometers, roughly the width of a red blood cell. “Smaller particles moved easily within the plant but they had low brightness,” says leading researcher Shuting Liu. “Larger particles glowed brighter but couldn’t travel far inside the plant.” The glowing succulents’ light fades over time, and the team are still studying the long-term safety of the materials for the plants. Still, the concept could offer a sustainable alternative for low-intensity lighting in pathways, gardens, or indoor decoration. The team is also exploring how the method can light up plants beyond succulents. 12. What can be inferred about glowing plants in nature? A. They are rarely found in the wild. B. They seldom give out other light but green. C. They are completely artificial creations. D. They have been studied for a long time. 13. How did Shuting Liu introduce her study on glowing plants? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By imagining a scene. D. By providing statistics. 14. What is the main advantage of the new method compared to previous approaches? A. It is simpler and less expensive. B. It produces more colorful light. C. It is more environmentally friendly. D. It suits a wider range of plant species. 15. What should be paid special attention to when choosing phosphor particles? A. Weight. B. Measure. C. Quantity. D. Color. 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。 Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___16___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___17___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts. ___18___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___19___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. ___20___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed. A. Society appears to favor extroverts. B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people. C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before. F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages. G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself?” 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 An elderly friend wrote to me recently.

My parents were against the idea, saying that taking care of a dog was a lifetime commitment. On my tenth birthday, Father stepped into the house and announced, “Nancy, you have a new puppy!” I shouted in delight and ran towards Father, only to find it was a toy puppy. My face fell. I turned away. Father explained, “This is a ‘Think-It-Over’ puppy. You should try taking care of it before deciding about a real dog.” The puppy did look like a real dog from a distance and it even had a dog smell. Inside its body was a computer programmed to make barking sounds. Father handed me a key, which could be stuck into its back to stop its barking. I accepted the puppy, which I named Friday since it was Friday that day. That evening, my friends and I decided to take Friday to a dog café. It was freezing cold, so I wrapped it in a blanket as if it were a real dog. The computer inside could tell if someone treated it badly, like shaking or not caring for it, and I did not want that recorded. Having waited in line, we finally got a table. The waiter, not knowing I was carrying a false puppy, asked attentively if I would need a basket with cushion. I told him, “Oh, it’s not a real puppy, but...” Before I could finish my sentence, he gave me an unpleasant look, turned and served other diners who were right there to play with the café’s dogs. I might have seemed unusual to him. During our meal, my friends and I received strange looks from the other dog owners in the café. We ignored them and continued with our own conversation. After dinner, we went to a nearby shopping mall, where customers were selecting their favorites. My friends were looking at clothes, but I couldn’t. The puppy I was carrying was becoming increasingly heavy. Extremely tired of Friday, I put it down in a corner and just wandered around, seeking clothes I could try on. 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。 Suddenly， Friday started to bark like a real dog. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment I got home， I handed Friday to Father， tears in eyes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二年级十月学情检测英语试题 （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.

B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇人物传记。文章主要讲述了Ashley Ruiz的职业生涯和个人经历，介绍了她作为气象预报员的工作内容、面临的挑战、对天气变化的看法，以及她如何克服数学难题成为首位女性首席气象预报员的经历。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“In 2020, a tornado hit Ruiz’s hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee—and, even closer to home, her house. So she said she knew what a lifesaving job this could be.(2020年，一场龙卷风袭击了Ruiz位于田纳西州查塔努加的家乡——甚至离她家更近的地方。所以她说她知道这是一份救命的工作。)”可知，文章提到Ruiz家乡发生的灾难是为了展示她对气象预报员工作的理解。她亲身体验了龙卷风对家乡的破坏，因此她深刻理解这份工作的重要性和救命的性质。这一经历使她更加明白作为气象预报员的责任和使命。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Ruiz talked about the new and changing weather patterns. She said, “We are absolutely seeing changes in weather, with more intense and more frequent storms, which relate to climate change.” Weather is changing everywhere, as the planet warms. There are more frequent droughts, stronger storms, and increasing temperature changes. This makes predicting the weather difficult.( Ruiz谈到了新的和变化中的天气模式。她说：“我们绝对看到了天气的变化，风暴更加剧烈和频繁，这与气候变化有关。”随着地球变暖，天气到处都在变化。干旱更频繁，风暴更猛烈，气温变化更大。这使得预测天气变得困难。)”可知，气候变化使得天气变得更加难以预测，因此是预测天气的一个挑战。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Ruiz always knew she was interested in weather and how it affected the world. But her path to a career in meteorology wasn’t easy. She said, “I struggled so hard with math and wanted to give up. But I kept pushing and working hard, and now I’m the first woman chief meteorologist in the Baton Rouge TV market. I’m proud of that.”(Ruiz一直知道自己对天气及其对世界的影响感兴趣。但她成为气象学家的道路并不容易。她说：“我在数学上挣扎得很厉害，几乎想放弃了。但我一直在坚持和努力，现在我是巴吞鲁日电视市场的第一位女性首席气象预报员。我为此感到骄傲。”)”可知，Ruiz在数学上挣扎得很厉害，但她一直坚持不懈地努力工作，最终成为了巴吞鲁日电视市场的首位女性首席气象预报员。这显示了她是一个勤奋努力的人。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“When you think about who’s responsible for a city’s safety, what people come to mind? Police officers, firefighters or emergency response teams? Would you put your local meteorologist (气象预报员) in this group? That’s the career Ashley Ruiz chose, and she’s now the first female chief meteorologist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Ruiz predicts the weather for her community.(当你想到谁负责城市的安全时，你会想到哪些人？警察、消防员还是应急响应团队？你会把当地的气象预报员归入这个群体吗？这就是Ashley Ruiz选择的职业，现在她是路易斯安那州巴吞鲁日的第一位女性首席气象预报员。Ruiz为她的社区预测天气。)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了Ashley Ruiz作为气象预报员的职业生涯和个人经历，包括她如何克服困难成为首位女性首席气象预报员，以及她对天气和气候变化的看法。这种关于人物成长和成就的文章更适合出现在报纸的“People”（人物）栏目中。故选B。 C A corn plant knows how to find water in soil with the very tips of its roots, but some varieties, including many used for developing high-output corn in the U.S., appear to have lost part of that ability, according to a Stanford-led study. With climate change increasing droughts, the findings hold potential for developing more drought-resistant (抗旱的) varieties of corn. The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic-mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning (水力模式)”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil. In particular, the researchers discovered that ethylene, a plant hormone (激素) known to help bananas ripen, also influences how roots grow to seek water. For this study, the researchers developed a new, simplified way to study water sensitivity in roots. They found corn varieties adapted to hot and wet regions like Mexico were very good at making new root branches toward water and avoiding dry areas. In contrast, the varieties adapted to moderate regions of North America frequently grew roots randomly without distinguishing between dry and wet areas in the soil. “Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems,” said lead author Johannes Scharwies. “One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.” Genetic analyses reveal two plant hormones, auxin and ethylene, play a role in how corn roots respond to water. While auxin was already known to help control this process, ethylene’s involvement was a new discovery. In experiments with thale cress—a model plant often used in research—the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air. Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said. 8. What is the primary focus of the Stanford-led study? A. Drought-resistant corn varieties. B. Ethylene’s effect on fruit ripening. C. Genetic control of root branching. D. Impact of climate change on plant roots. 9. What can be inferred from Johannes Scharwies’ remarks? A. Plant hormones make a big difference to root growth. B. Nutrients guarantee better water-seeking root systems. C. Root branching conserves energy for higher production. D. Stronger hydropatterning was linked to greater root depth. 10. What can we learn about ethylene from paragraph 5? A. It has long been known to control corn roots’ response to water. B. It works with auxin to promote root branching toward water. C. It prevents root branching when the root comes into contact with air. D. It is the only plant hormone affecting corn roots’ water response. 11. What does the last paragraph suggest future research do? A. Prioritize development of new corn varieties. B. Work out the mechanisms of genetic interactions. C. Concentrate merely on localized root responses. D. Expand practical applications of hydropatterning. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项由斯坦福大学领导的研究，该研究揭示了玉米根系如何感知并趋向土壤中的水分，以及这一能力在不同玉米品种中的差异，尤其是与抗旱性相关的遗传机制。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The study, published in the journal Science, uncovers genetic-mechanisms (遗传机制) behind “hydropatterning (水力模式)”, or how plant roots branch toward water and avoid dry spaces in soil.(这项发表在《科学》杂志上的研究揭示了“水模式”背后的遗传机制，即植物的根是如何向水分支并避开土壤中的干燥空间的。)”可知，斯坦福大学领导的这项研究的主要焦点是根分枝的遗传控制。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Interestingly, the plants that are better at sensing where the water is are also making deeper root systems(有趣的是，更善于感知水源的植物根系也更深)”和“One idea is that if the plant doesn’t waste time growing root branches into places where it doesn’t find any water and nutrients, then it has more energy to grow deeper down where water is more likely.(一种想法是，如果植物不浪费时间将根分支生长到没有水和营养的地方，那么它就有更多的能量生长到更有可能有水的地方。)”可知，从Johannes Scharwies的话中可以推断出更强的水模式与更大的根深有关。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“In experiments with thale cress — a model plant often used in research—the researchers found auxin signaling promotes root branch development toward water, while ethylene stops branching when the root is exposed to air.(在研究中经常使用的模式植物拟南芥的实验中，研究人员发现生长素信号促进根分支向水方向发育，而乙烯则在根暴露于空气中时停止分支。)”可知，从第5段我们可以了解当根部接触到空气时，乙烯可以防止根部分叉。故选C。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Further research is needed to better understand the interaction of these genetic pathways before corn varieties can be developed with more drought-resistant root systems, but the findings highlight the significance of studying these localized responses at root tips, researchers said.(研究人员说，在培育出具有更抗旱根系的玉米品种之前，需要进一步的研究来更好地了解这些遗传途径的相互作用，但是这些发现强调了研究根尖上这些局部反应的重要性。)”可知，最后一段建议未来的研究找出基因相互作用的机制。故选B。 D From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton (浮游生物) that gives off sparkling blue, glowing plants are nothing new for nature. Now, scientists are bringing that light to houseplants. Reporting in the Cell Press journal Matter on August 27, researchers crafted glow-in-the-dark succulents (肉质植物) that recharge in sunlight. Injected with light-emitting compounds, the plants can shine in various colors and match a small night light at their brightest. The simple, low-cost method may help lay the foundation for sustainable, plant-based lighting systems. “Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar, where glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem,” says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University. “We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights.” Glowing greenery isn’t a new idea. Past studies have designed similar plants using genetic engineering. But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green. The methods were also complex and costly. Instead of changing cells to glow through genetic modification, researchers from South China Agricultural University used afterglow phosphor (磷光粉) particles — materials similar to those found in glow-in-the-dark toys. These compounds absorb light and release it slowly over time. For the particles to travel through leaf tissues, the researchers had to get the size just right: around 7 micrometers, roughly the width of a red blood cell. “Smaller particles moved easily within the plant but they had low brightness,” says leading researcher Shuting Liu. “Larger particles glowed brighter but couldn’t travel far inside the plant.” The glowing succulents’ light fades over time, and the team are still studying the long-term safety of the materials for the plants. Still, the concept could offer a sustainable alternative for low-intensity lighting in pathways, gardens, or indoor decoration. The team is also exploring how the method can light up plants beyond succulents. 12. What can be inferred about glowing plants in nature? A. They are rarely found in the wild. B. They seldom give out other light but green. C. They are completely artificial creations. D. They have been studied for a long time. 13. How did Shuting Liu introduce her study on glowing plants? A. By giving examples. B. By defining a concept. C. By imagining a scene. D. By providing statistics. 14. What is the main advantage of the new method compared to previous approaches? A. It is simpler and less expensive. B. It produces more colorful light. C. It is more environmentally friendly. D. It suits a wider range of plant species. 15. What should be paid special attention to when choosing phosphor particles? A. Weight. B. Measure. C. Quantity. D. Color. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍华南农业大学团队研发出发光肉质植物，通过注入磷光粉颗粒实现发光，相比传统基因工程方法更简单，低成本，虽存在光线衰减等问题，但为可持续照明提供了新可能。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“From mushrooms that cast a soft green glow to plankton that gives off sparkling blue, glowing plants are nothing new for nature. Now, scientists are bringing that light to houseplants.(从散发着柔和绿色光芒的蘑菇，到能发出闪烁蓝光的浮游生物，自然界中发光的植物并非罕见之物。如今，科学家们正将这种光芒引入室内植物之中)”可知，自然界中的发光植物已经被研究了很长时间。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Picture the world of science fiction movie Avatar, where glowing plants light up an entire ecosystem,” says first author Shuting Liu of South China Agricultural University. “We wanted to make that vision possible using materials we already work with in the lab. Imagine glowing trees replacing streetlights.”(“想象一下科幻电影《阿凡达》中的世界吧，在那里，发光的植物照亮了整个生态系统。”华南农业大学的第一作者刘舒婷说道。“我们希望通过实验室里现有的材料来实现这一愿景。想象一下，发光的树木取代路灯的情景。”)”可知，刘舒婷通过构想一个场景介绍她关于发光植物的研究。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But the glow is often weak and is typically only available in green. The methods were also complex and costly.(但这种光的亮度通常较弱，而且通常只能发出绿色光。这些方法还非常复杂且成本高昂)”可知，与以往的方法相比，这种新方法的主要优势是它更简单，成本也更低。故选A。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“For the particles to travel through leaf tissues, the researchers had to get the size just right: around 7 micrometers, roughly the width of a red blood cell.(为了让这些粒子能够穿过叶片组织，研究人员必须将粒子的尺寸精确控制在一定范围内：大约7微米，这相当于一个红细胞的宽度)”可知，在选择荧光粉颗粒时，应当特别注意尺寸、规格。故选B。 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。 Have you ever felt the need to be alone for a while? I don’t mean situations when you should be alone, but occasions where you are with a group of people at a party or a restaurant. You get tired of jumping from conversation to conversation, and your mind starts to wander towards that interesting book you left halfway done, or that movie you have been meaning to watch. ___16___ Now before you rush to defense, please understand that being an introvert (内向的人)is completely normal. A common misunderstanding about introverts is that they are loners or anti-social. ___17___ They have friends, probably not as many as extroverts (外向的人), but enough to suit their needs for human interaction. Scientifically, all humans fall somewhere between being an introvert and being an extrovert, and at least 25 percent of us are introverts. ___18___ Therefore, the ability to network is extremely valuable. Of course, sometimes introverts might be as capable of talking with people as extroverts, but sometimes they have to force themselves to engage with others in order to “fit in”. While extroverts feel comfortable shaking hands and making jokes, introverts get increasingly exhausted. ___19___ For the introverted, to continue in this awkward situation could really end up bringing them harm, with individuals reporting to suffer from loss of sleep, panic attacks and depression. ___20___ They form deep thoughts, conduct themselves carefully, and pay significant attention to detail. So, for the best results in a project involving group work, both introverts and extroverts are needed. A. Society appears to favor extroverts. B. Most introverts, however, are just regular people. C. These are feelings usually typical of an introvert. D. Introverts tend to recover by spending time alone. E. You might have ignored that “strange” thought you had before. F. Introverts, just like extroverts, have their own set of advantages. G. Even if standing alone for a while, they get asked “Why are you all by yourself?” 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. A 19. G 20.

My parents were against the idea, saying that taking care of a dog was a lifetime commitment. On my tenth birthday, Father stepped into the house and announced, “Nancy, you have a new puppy!” I shouted in delight and ran towards Father, only to find it was a toy puppy. My face fell. I turned away. Father explained, “This is a ‘Think-It-Over’ puppy. You should try taking care of it before deciding about a real dog.” The puppy did look like a real dog from a distance and it even had a dog smell. Inside its body was a computer programmed to make barking sounds. Father handed me a key, which could be stuck into its back to stop its barking. I accepted the puppy, which I named Friday since it was Friday that day. That evening, my friends and I decided to take Friday to a dog café. It was freezing cold, so I wrapped it in a blanket as if it were a real dog. The computer inside could tell if someone treated it badly, like shaking or not caring for it, and I did not want that recorded. Having waited in line, we finally got a table. The waiter, not knowing I was carrying a false puppy, asked attentively if I would need a basket with cushion. I told him, “Oh, it’s not a real puppy, but...” Before I could finish my sentence, he gave me an unpleasant look, turned and served other diners who were right there to play with the café’s dogs. I might have seemed unusual to him. During our meal, my friends and I received strange looks from the other dog owners in the café. We ignored them and continued with our own conversation. After dinner, we went to a nearby shopping mall, where customers were selecting their favorites. My friends were looking at clothes, but I couldn’t. The puppy I was carrying was becoming increasingly heavy. Extremely tired of Friday, I put it down in a corner and just wandered around, seeking clothes I could try on. 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。 Suddenly， Friday started to bark like a real dog. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The moment I got home， I handed Friday to Father， tears in eyes. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Suddenly, Friday started to bark like a real dog. It barked so loudly as if protesting against my previous disrespect, which immediately attracted curious stares of the shoppers. Some even blamed me in annoyance for making the dog produce such a noise. Embarrassed and panicked, I was at a loss what to do. My friends came running to me and urged me to take out the key. Not until then did I think of the solution. The barking ceased but I was overwhelmed with tiredness and depression. With everyone watching, I picked up Friday with a blushing face, racing out of the mall. The moment I got home, I handed Friday to Father, tears in eyes. “So Friday has upset you?” Father asked. Discouraged, I told him everything that had happened. Father listened quietly and said smilingly, “See why I gave you the ‘Think-It-Over’ puppy? Taking care of a real dog is even more challenging. You need to be responsible all the time.” I nodded, realizing I hadn’t been as committed as I thought. I wiped my tears, saying firmly, “Father, I’ll be ready for a real dog. Trust me.” From then on, I did what I could to take better care of Friday, learning how to be a responsible and capable pet owner. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者想要一只狗，父母因认为养狗是一生的责任而反对。在作者十岁生日时，父亲给了他一个玩具狗作为“Think-It-Over”的小狗，让“我”在决定养真狗之前先试着照顾它。这只玩具狗外观逼真，甚至有狗的味道，内置电脑能发出狗叫声。“我”接受了这只小狗，并命名为Friday。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，星期五开始像真正的狗一样吠叫。”可知，第一段可描写Friday突然像真狗一样叫起来，引起了周围人的注意和责备，“我”感到尴尬和恐慌，最后在朋友的帮助下停止了叫声，但“我”感到疲惫和沮丧。 ②由第二段首句内容“我一回到家，就把Friday递给爸爸，眼里含着泪水。”可知，第二段可描写“我”回到家后，把Friday交给父亲，并告诉他所发生的一切。父亲听完后，告诉“我”养狗更加具有挑战性，需要一直负责。这让“我”意识到自己的不足，并承诺会准备好养一只真狗。 2.续写线索：Friday像真狗一样叫——引起周围人注意和责备——“我”感到尴尬和恐慌——朋友帮助停止叫声——“我”感到疲惫和沮丧——回家交给父亲并告诉他所发生的一切——父亲告诉“我”养狗更加具有挑战性——“我”意识到自己的不足并承诺会准备好。 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①吠叫：bark/yap ②责备：blame/criticize ③催促：urge/press 情绪类 ①尴尬：embarrassed/awkward ②沮丧：discouraged/depressed 【点睛】[高分句型1] It barked so loudly as if protesting against my previous disrespect, which immediately attracted curious stares of the shoppers.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Not until then did I think of the solution.（运用了部分倒装） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
