In the US children must go to school from the age of 6 to the ages between 14 and 16, depending on the state they live in. Subjects In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum, which was introduced in 1988 and sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7,11,14, and 16, when they are tested. The National Curriculum does not apply to Scotland, where each school decides what subjects it will teach. Examinations At 16, students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations. These examinations are taken by students of all levels of ability in any of a range of subjects, and may involve a final examination, an assessment of work done during the two-year course, or both of these things. At 18 some students take A-level examinations, usually in no more than three subjects. It is necessary to have A levels in order to go to university. In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called Highers, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. In Scotland the university system is different from that in England and Wales. Courses usually last four years rather than three, and students study a large number of subjects as part of their degree. 1. In which parts of the world are the subjects taught only decided by the nation? A. England and Wales. B. England and Scotland. C. US and Britain. D. Wales and Scotland. 2. Which of the following has nothing to do with students in Scotland? A. GCSE. B. SCE. C. Highers. D. The Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. 3. Which of the following is TRUE? A. In the US, only local government can decide the subjects. B. In Scotland, students can take either the SCE examinations or the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies. C. In England and Wales, one cannot go to university without A levels. D. As for a 16-year-old student in England and Wales, he has to take both GCSE examinations and a final examination. B There was a boy and his family was very rich. One day his father took him on a trip to a place. He wanted to show his son how poor people were there. They spent several days on a farm. There were many poor families living on the farm. On their way home, the father asked the son, “How was the trip?” “It was great, Dad,” the son answered. “Did you notice how poor people were there?” asked his father. “Oh, yes,” said the son. “So, tell me,” said his father. The son said, “Well, we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool in our garden, while they have a river that has no end. We have expensive lanterns, but they have stars above their heads at night. We have only a small piece of land to live on, while they have the endless fields. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have high walls around our houses to protect us, but they don’t need walls, because their friends will protect them.” The father had nothing to say. Then the boy added, “Thank you, Dad, for letting me see how poor we are.” 4. The father wanted to show his son ________. A. how poor people were on the farm B. how people on the farm worked C. how beautiful the farm was D. how far it was from the city to the farm 5. According to the boy, people on the farm can see ________ at night. A. expensive lanterns B. a lot of cars C. stars above their heads D. many horses 6. Which of the following is TRUE, according to the passage? A. The boy was from a very poor family. B. The father and the son spent several weeks on a farm. C. People on the farm have high walls around their houses. D. The boy thought that people on the farm lived a happy life. 7. What’s the best title of the passage? A. A rich farm. B. A great experience. C. A poor family. D. A boring trip. C I read a post by Barbara Swafford entitled “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words”. In this post, she challenged her readers to pick a picture and then write about it. I decided to take up the challenge. It didn’t take me long to find the photo I wanted to write about. It was one I had taken in Switzerland of a lovely little plant growing out of rocks high up on a building’s wall. When I saved it, I named it “persistence”. I must admit, however, that I have mixed feelings about this word. During my coaching studies, we were advised to take the Authentic Happiness VIA Strengths Inventory, which lists your top five strengths. My top strength was PERSISTENCE and, to be honest, this particular strength seemed a bit unfriendly. After all, the dictionary defines persistence as “continuing despite problems or difficulties; being obstinately (固执地) persistent.” I wasn’t sure I’d liked the idea of being “obstinately persistent”. In addition, compared to the top strengths my fellow students got, such as gratitude, wisdom, kindness, and hope, persistence seemed rather commonplace; more like the dandelion (蒲公英) among the roses. Since then, however, I have learned more about persistence and it’s got some very good qualities. But I’m not alone in recognizing the importance of persistence. It’s been used by many famous people, including John Quincy Adams, John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison and Helen Keller, just to name a few. They have attributed (归功) their success to their persistence, which is a significant reason! Over time, I’ve learned to value my own persistence. It has helped me to succeed, even in situations where others had more talent and ability. It’s also kept me going through some difficult times when I wanted to quit. This is why I like photographing wild flowers growing in difficult places. 8. What did Barbara Swafford ask her followers to do? A. To learn about a plant. B. To send her a photograph. C. To describe a photo they’d taken. D. To write about a photo she’d given. 9. How did the author react after knowing the definition of persistence? A. She became greatly inspired. B. She became proud of herself. C. She considered it to be wrong. D. She felt a bit sad about her persistence. 10. Why does the author compare her strength to the dandelion among the roses? A. To show her strength is quite ordinary. B. To show the importance of her strength. C. To show why she developed such a strength. D. To show top strengths should be uncommon. 11. Which of the following shows the author’s opinion? A. Persistence is very important for people. B. Wisdom is the main reason why people succeed. C. Persistence is not as important as wisdom and kindness. D. Many people don’t recognize the importance of persistence. D Q: Last night I saw a comedian on TV making a joke about “old people smell”. I’d never heard of it before, so I did research and was worried to see that people say old people have the same bad smell. Now I’m worrying — do I smell? And if so, how can I get rid of it? —Edith, 76 A: Thank you for your email. I can certainly smell something, and I’m afraid to say that it’s the unpleasant odour (气味) of ageism. I doubt a comedian would dare say something like this about any other group of people. The fact that they feel able to do so shows how ageism is the last acceptable intolerance in our society. It’s morally wrong to group people based on their age. So, to answer your question: no, old people don’t smell. Body odour is the result of various factors. One thing I would note is that as we age, we tend to sweat less. As a result, sometimes older people don’t think they need to wash as frequently, especially when combined with mobility problems—meaning they find it difficult getting in and out of the shower, not realizing that they can still have body odour without sweating. There is also the issue of incontinence (失禁). While this can affect people of any age, it’s more common in old age and is also associated with a smell. There are plenty of treatments for incontinence, so this isn’t something that should arise. I’m sorry to say, but some doctors just blame incontinence for part of getting older. It’s not. The idea that old people smell just feeds into this, but my view is if someone does smell of urine due to incontinence, then this is the failure of doctors to provide adequate help. It’s to do with their incontinence, not their age. —Dr. Max Pemberton 12. According to the text, what is Edith’s top concern? A. A comedian’s joke about “old people smell”. B. Uncertainty of the research about getting old. C. Methods of getting rid of her body odour. D. Worry about old people having the same bad smell. 13. What does the underlined word “ageism” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Prejudice towards old age. B. Ageing problems. C. Failing health of the old. D. Concern for aged people. 14. Dr. Max Pemberton tries to persuade Edith mainly by________. A. showing understanding B. commenting on comedians C. offering practical advice D. analyzing possible reasons 15. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An academic paper. B. An autobiography. C. A health column. D. A medical treatment plan. 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。 Knowledge Has a Price Tag Knowledge is the information that one acquires through experience or study. Understandably, those who create knowledge have invested time and effort to produce quality content. This kind of knowledge is valuable because of the effort behind it. ____16____ This was also the view of 700 people who demanded that a university application essay by Brooke Lim should be reviewed for plagiarism (抄袭). The Singaporean TikTok influencer and General Paper tutor was reported to have copied her blog essay from five books and eight articles. We need to be fair to those who create knowledge that benefits others. This is especially true for creators who depend on selling their intellectual work to make a living. People should pay for using their knowledge. ____17____ They prevents others from reproducing, distributing, or displaying knowledge without payment or acknowledgment of the owners. ____18____ Without proper funding, reliable knowledge may suffer. Consider the internet, where anyone — expert or beginner — can express opinions on any topic. The result is a flood of free information that is often incomplete or unreliable. In contrast, articles from trusted news sources and academic journals charge fees because they provide valuable and dependable knowledge. Another reason we should pay for knowledge is that it brings us closer to success. This kind of knowledge differs from the free information found on the internet, ChatGPT, or social media. Students researching projects may not find free online content helpful in advancing their knowledge.____19____ It is one thing to gather information freely available online, but quite another to know how to use, analyze, and combine it in ways that advance our understanding of a topic. This explains why parents still pay high fees for top tutors expert in specific subjects. While the idea of making knowledge free may seem noble, the case of Brooke Lim reminds us that most people are still concerned about preserving the value of knowledge and recognizing its creators. ____20____ A. This latter concern is no less noble. B. Quality knowledge comes at a cost. C. In the worst case, they may even be misinformed. D. Creating it requires significant investment and effort. E. Therefore, such knowledge should not be entirely free for everyone. F. For this reason, we have laws to protect the rights of knowledge creators. G. Thus, a film director should pay for the right to use a musician’s song in a movie. 三、完形填空（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。 “Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger,” explains Travis Atkinson, a licensed clinical social worker. “99% of the time, they are the ____21____ of an intense emotion: anger, which is brought about by stress from work, frustrations in life, and even hunger.” This is based, in part, on the theory of emotional hijacking, which suggests that intense emotions — like anger — can temporarily affect our ability to think ____22____ and make sensible decisions. The amygdala — the brain’s “integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation” — is involved too. More ____23____, a process called “amygdala hijack” comes into play: when the amygdala becomes overactivated it sets off the fight-or-flight response, leading to narrowed focus. This in turn causes a(n) ____24____ of good judgment, leading to a flash of anger. It results in ____25____ that are driven more by emotional intensity than by genuine thoughts or beliefs. This indicates that the ____26____ of the person’s outburst might not even be at the root of their anger. Perhaps, they were angry about the way their boss treated them at work. They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can ____27____ at the slightest disagreement with the friend they were catching up with at dinner. Letting out anger can help people feel emotionally ____28____, many psychologists argue. Others, however, believe an outburst can actually intensify our emotions and end up being ____29____. “You have the sense of immediate improvement, but it’s only a(n) ____30____,” says Jeffrey Lohr, a professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. “But the point is, it might be the search for that short-lived relief — even if it brings further harm — that drives a person to ____31____ angrily.” Lohr doesn’t see angry outbursts as a healthy way to release anger, yet he also warns against bottling up ____32____ feelings. His ____33____: releasing anger without using hurtful words. But managing emotions isn’t easy, and not everyone can control their feelings well. Sometimes ____34____ slip out before we even realize what we’re saying. We only ____35____ it when the other person looks hurt or after we understand what we’ve said. 21. A. cause B. development C. expression D. perception 22. A. logically B. creatively C. subjectively D. instinctively 23. A. hopefully B. specifically C. thoroughly D. doubtfully 24. A. loss B. display C. sense D. act 25. A. statements B. conflicts C. improvements D. symptoms 26. A. duration B. impact C. tone D. source 27. A. build up B. die down C. show off D. spill out 28. A. distressed B. relieved C. trapped D. weakened 29. A. productive B. uninteresting C. unhelpful D. challenging 30. A. sense B. fix C. change D. emotion 31. A. interrupt B. react C. gesture D. shake 32. A. mixed B. hidden C. negative D. honest 33. A. reason B. outburst C. consequence D. solution 34. A. secrets B. emotions C. words D. behaviours 35. A. experience B. notice C. accept D. review 四、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In 1866, a terrible sea creature was seen by several ships. Biologist Pierre Aronnax and his servant and the whale hunter joined a ship to find it. After a long journey, they discovered that the “creature” was actually a submarine. Unfortunately, the biologist, along with his companions ____36____ (capture) and taken inside, ____37____ they met Captain Nemo. To keep this secret, Nemo told them they were not permitted ____38____ (leave). ____39____ Ned Land thought only of escaping, Aronnax was fascinated by the new underwater world. In this part ____40____ (adapt) from the book, Aronnax describes walking on the sea bed. Words are not enough to relate such ____41____ (believable) wonders! The solar light astonished me by its power, ____42____ (shine) through the water easily, so I could clearly distinguish objects far away. ____43____ (true) this water was but another air, heavier than ____44____ Earth’s atmosphere. We were walking on fine, even sand, which kept the impression of the waves. Shall I be believed when I say that, ____45____ the depth of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight? 五、书面表达（共两题，满分40分） 46. 人们对于学生网上交友持不同意见。请你用英语写一篇关于学生网上交友的短文，介绍人们的不同观点，并表达自己的看法。要求：1.文章必须包括表中的内容。 2.字数80词左右。 赞成的理由 反对的理由 你的看法 广交朋友 可自由表达思想 利于外语学习 浪费时间 影响学习 可能上当受骗 ? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 When I was a kid, my godparents, Uncle Nell and Aunt Frances, brought me a four-month-old puppy. She was half German shepherd, half collie. I was filled with excitement because it had been my dream to have a lovely and smart puppy to keep me company. As her pink tongue tickled my face with wet licks, it was love at first hug. My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affections, in a family of seven kids, no one laid permanent claim to the family pet. Dusty was our dog, not my dog. But we soon realized that Dusty was doing her best to give all of us great patience and lots of unconditional love. My baby sister often used Dusty’s warm fur as a nap-time pillow, falling asleep soundly on the cosy rug (毛毯). Like a protective mother, Dusty waited patiently, not moving, until my sister woke. She would gently lick my sister’s rosy cheeks, making her giggle. Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. From Monday to Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St. Patrick’s Parochial, looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave goodbye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door until the end of the school day. Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far and above all others. Late one night, Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and returned to my parents’ room. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Finally, she got Mom’s attention. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The house across the street, where my best friend Maria and her family lived, was on fire. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2027届高三上学期期中测试（英语） （满分150分 时间120分钟） 一、 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，每段对话读两遍 1.

A 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍英国的课程设置和考试制度。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的第一句“In England and Wales the subjects taught in schools are laid down by the National Curriculum, which was introduced in 1988 and sets out in detail the subjects that children should study and the levels of achievement they should reach by the ages of 7,11,14, and 16, when they are tested.(在英格兰和威尔士，学校教授的科目是由1988年引入的国家课程规定的，该课程详细规定了儿童应该学习的科目以及他们在7岁、11岁、14岁和16岁考试时应该达到的成绩水平。)”可知，在英格兰和威尔士，课程只由国家决定的。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的句子“In Scotland students take the SCE examinations. A year later, they can take examinations called Highers, after which they can either go straight to a university or spend a further year at school and take the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies.(在苏格兰，学生参加SCE考试。一年后，他们可以参加Highers考试，之后他们可以直接上大学，也可以在学校再学习一年，并获the Certificate of Sixth Year Studies)”可知，GCSE苏格兰的学生无关。故选A项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段第一句“At 16, students in England and Wales take GCSE examinations.(16岁时，英格兰和威尔士的学生参加普通中等教育证书考试。)”和最后一句“At 18 some students take A-level examinations, usually in no more than three subjects. It is necessary to have A levels in order to go to university.(有些学生在18岁时参加A-level考试，通常不超过三门科目。为了上大学，必须有A级考试。)”可知，在英格兰和威尔士，没有A级考试就不能上大学。故选C项。 B There was a boy and his family was very rich.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了一位富裕的父亲带儿子去农场旅行，本想让儿子见识农场里人们的贫穷，却没想到儿子从另一个角度对比了自家与农场家庭的生活，得出“自家才是贫穷的”这一反转结论，展现了不同视角下对贫富的不同定义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“He wanted to show his son how poor people were there (他想让儿子看看那里的人有多穷)”可知，父亲带儿子去农场的目的是让儿子见识农场里人们的贫穷。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“We have expensive lanterns, but they have stars above their heads at night (我们有昂贵的灯笼，但他们晚上头顶有星星)”可知，在男孩看来，农场里的人晚上能看到头顶的星星。故选C。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Well, we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool in our garden, while they have a river that has no end. We have expensive lanterns, but they have stars above their heads at night. We have only a small piece of land to live on, while they have the endless fields. We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have high walls around our houses to protect us, but they don’t need walls, because their friends will protect them.(我们有一只狗，他们有四只。我们的花园里有一个游泳池，而他们有一条没有尽头的河。我们有昂贵的灯笼，但他们晚上头顶上有星星。我们只有一小块土地可以居住，而他们有一望无际的田野。我们买食物，他们自己种。我们的房子周围有高墙来保护我们，但他们不需要墙，因为他们的朋友会保护他们。)”可知，男孩认为农场家庭拥有更多的自然馈赠和真挚情谊，而自家虽物质富足却缺少这些；另根据最后一段男孩所说“Thank you, Dad, for letting me see how poor we are (谢谢你，爸爸，让我知道我们有多穷)”可推断，男孩觉得农场里的人过着幸福的生活。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章围绕父子俩的农场之旅展开，这场旅行原本是父亲想让儿子认知“贫穷”，却让儿子产生了对贫富的全新理解，是一次意义深刻的经历。“一次意义深刻的经历”适合用作标题，故选B。 C I read a post by Barbara Swafford entitled “A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words”. In this post, she challenged her readers to pick a picture and then write about it. I decided to take up the challenge. It didn’t take me long to find the photo I wanted to write about. It was one I had taken in Switzerland of a lovely little plant growing out of rocks high up on a building’s wall. When I saved it, I named it “persistence”. I must admit, however, that I have mixed feelings about this word. During my coaching studies, we were advised to take the Authentic Happiness VIA Strengths Inventory, which lists your top five strengths. My top strength was PERSISTENCE and, to be honest, this particular strength seemed a bit unfriendly. After all, the dictionary defines persistence as “continuing despite problems or difficulties; being obstinately (固执地) persistent.” I wasn’t sure I’d liked the idea of being “obstinately persistent”. In addition, compared to the top strengths my fellow students got, such as gratitude, wisdom, kindness, and hope, persistence seemed rather commonplace; more like the dandelion (蒲公英) among the roses. Since then, however, I have learned more about persistence and it’s got some very good qualities. But I’m not alone in recognizing the importance of persistence. It’s been used by many famous people, including John Quincy Adams, John D. Rockefeller, Thomas Edison and Helen Keller, just to name a few. They have attributed (归功) their success to their persistence, which is a significant reason! Over time, I’ve learned to value my own persistence. It has helped me to succeed, even in situations where others had more talent and ability. It’s also kept me going through some difficult times when I wanted to quit. This is why I like photographing wild flowers growing in difficult places. 8. What did Barbara Swafford ask her followers to do? A. To learn about a plant. B. To send her a photograph. C. To describe a photo they’d taken. D. To write about a photo she’d given. 9. How did the author react after knowing the definition of persistence? A. She became greatly inspired. B. She became proud of herself. C. She considered it to be wrong. D. She felt a bit sad about her persistence. 10. Why does the author compare her strength to the dandelion among the roses? A. To show her strength is quite ordinary. B. To show the importance of her strength. C. To show why she developed such a strength. D. To show top strengths should be uncommon. 11. Which of the following shows the author’s opinion? A. Persistence is very important for people. B. Wisdom is the main reason why people succeed. C. Persistence is not as important as wisdom and kindness. D. Many people don’t recognize the importance of persistence. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者受博文启发，以一张石缝中植物的照片为例，探讨“坚持”。起初她嫌弃该特质平凡固执，后认识到坚持助其度过难关并成就了许多伟人，终珍视此品质。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In this post, she challenged her readers to pick a picture and then write about it.(在这篇帖子中，她要求读者们挑选一张照片，然后撰写相关文字)”可知，芭芭拉·斯瓦福德要求她的粉丝们用文字描述他们所挑选的照片。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My top strength was PERSISTENCE and, to be honest, this particular strength seemed a bit unfriendly. After all, the dictionary defines persistence as “continuing despite problems or difficulties; being obstinately (固执地) persistent.” I wasn’t sure I’d liked the idea of being “obstinately persistent”.(我的最大优点就是坚持不懈。但说实话，这种特质似乎有点让人难以接受。毕竟，词典对“坚持不懈”的定义是“尽管遇到问题或困难仍继续下去；固执地坚持到底”。我不确定自己是否喜欢被称为“固执地坚持”)”可知，作者在得知“坚持”的定义后，对自己这种坚持的行为感到有些难过。故选D。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“In addition, compared to the top strengths my fellow students got, such as gratitude, wisdom, kindness, and hope, persistence seemed rather commonplace; more like the dandelion (蒲公英) among the roses.(此外，与我的同学们所展现出的其他优秀品质（如感恩、智慧、善良和希望）相比，坚持不懈这一品质似乎显得较为平常；它更像是玫瑰丛中的一株蒲公英)”可知，作者将自己的力量比作玫瑰丛中的一朵蒲公英以此表明她的力量很平常。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Over time, I’ve learned to value my own persistence. It has helped me to succeed, even in situations where others had more talent and ability. It’s also kept me going through some difficult times when I wanted to quit. This is why I like photographing wild flowers growing in difficult places.(随着时间的推移，我逐渐认识到坚持的重要性。这种坚持帮助我取得了成功，即便在那些其他人更具天赋和能力的情况下也是如此。它还让我在一些想要放弃的艰难时刻坚持了下来。这就是为什么我喜欢拍摄生长在艰苦环境中的野花)”可知，作者的观点是坚持不懈对人们来说非常重要。故选A。 D Q: Last night I saw a comedian on TV making a joke about “old people smell”. I’d never heard of it before, so I did research and was worried to see that people say old people have the same bad smell. Now I’m worrying — do I smell? And if so, how can I get rid of it? —Edith, 76 A: Thank you for your email. I can certainly smell something, and I’m afraid to say that it’s the unpleasant odour (气味) of ageism. I doubt a comedian would dare say something like this about any other group of people. The fact that they feel able to do so shows how ageism is the last acceptable intolerance in our society. It’s morally wrong to group people based on their age. So, to answer your question: no, old people don’t smell. Body odour is the result of various factors. One thing I would note is that as we age, we tend to sweat less. As a result, sometimes older people don’t think they need to wash as frequently, especially when combined with mobility problems—meaning they find it difficult getting in and out of the shower, not realizing that they can still have body odour without sweating. There is also the issue of incontinence (失禁). While this can affect people of any age, it’s more common in old age and is also associated with a smell. There are plenty of treatments for incontinence, so this isn’t something that should arise. I’m sorry to say, but some doctors just blame incontinence for part of getting older. It’s not. The idea that old people smell just feeds into this, but my view is if someone does smell of urine due to incontinence, then this is the failure of doctors to provide adequate help. It’s to do with their incontinence, not their age. —Dr. Max Pemberton 12. According to the text, what is Edith’s top concern? A. A comedian’s joke about “old people smell”. B. Uncertainty of the research about getting old. C. Methods of getting rid of her body odour. D. Worry about old people having the same bad smell. 13. What does the underlined word “ageism” mean in Paragraph 2? A. Prejudice towards old age. B. Ageing problems. C. Failing health of the old. D. Concern for aged people. 14. Dr. Max Pemberton tries to persuade Edith mainly by________. A. showing understanding B. commenting on comedians C. offering practical advice D. analyzing possible reasons 15. Where is this text probably taken from? A. An academic paper. B. An autobiography. C. A health column. D. A medical treatment plan. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。76岁的Edith老人因某脱口秀演员取笑年纪大的人身上有难闻的“老人味”，向医生Max Pemberton提问请教，Max Pemberton给予了专业细致的解释，反驳了“老人都有体味”的偏见。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“I’d never heard of it before, so I did research and was worried to see that people say old people have the same bad smell. Now I’m worrying-do I smell? And if so, how can I get rid of it?(我以前从未听说过，所以我做了调查，看到人们说老年人也有同样的臭味，我很担心。现在我担心了——我有味道吗?如果是这样，我该如何摆脱它?)”可知，Edith最关心的是担心老人有同样的臭味。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中的““I doubt a comedian would dare say something like this about any other group of people. The fact that they feel able to do so shows how ageism is the last acceptable intolerance in our society. It’s morally wrong to group people based on their age.”(我怀疑一个喜剧演员敢对其他任何群体说这样的话。他们之所以觉得可以这么做，恰恰说明ageism是当今社会最后一种被默许的偏见。基于年龄将人归类在道德上是错误的。)”可知，喜剧演员随意拿“老人味”开涮，是对老年人群体的不公平看待，由此推测“ageism”的含义是对老年人的偏见。故选A项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Body odour is the result of various factors. One thing I would note is that as we age, we tend to sweat less. As a result, sometimes older people don’t think they need to wash as frequently, especially when combined with mobility problems—meaning they find it difficult getting in and out of the shower, not realising that they can still have body odour without sweating.(体味是多种因素共同作用的结果。我要注意的一件事是，随着年龄的增长，我们往往会出汗更少。因此，有时老年人认为他们不需要那么频繁地洗澡，尤其是在行动不便的情况下——这意味着他们很难进出淋浴，没有意识到他们在不出汗的情况下仍然会有体味。)”可知，Max Pemberton医生试图通过分析可能的原因来说服Edith。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Now I’m worrying-do I smell? And if so, how can I get rid of it?( 现在我很担心——我身上有味道吗?如果是的话，我怎么才能摆脱它呢?)”以及文章一问一答的篇章展开模式可推知，文章可能来自健康专栏。故选C。 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。 Knowledge Has a Price Tag Knowledge is the information that one acquires through experience or study. Understandably, those who create knowledge have invested time and effort to produce quality content. This kind of knowledge is valuable because of the effort behind it. ____16____ This was also the view of 700 people who demanded that a university application essay by Brooke Lim should be reviewed for plagiarism (抄袭). The Singaporean TikTok influencer and General Paper tutor was reported to have copied her blog essay from five books and eight articles. We need to be fair to those who create knowledge that benefits others. This is especially true for creators who depend on selling their intellectual work to make a living. People should pay for using their knowledge. ____17____ They prevents others from reproducing, distributing, or displaying knowledge without payment or acknowledgment of the owners. ____18____ Without proper funding, reliable knowledge may suffer. Consider the internet, where anyone — expert or beginner — can express opinions on any topic. The result is a flood of free information that is often incomplete or unreliable. In contrast, articles from trusted news sources and academic journals charge fees because they provide valuable and dependable knowledge. Another reason we should pay for knowledge is that it brings us closer to success. This kind of knowledge differs from the free information found on the internet, ChatGPT, or social media. Students researching projects may not find free online content helpful in advancing their knowledge.____19____ It is one thing to gather information freely available online, but quite another to know how to use, analyze, and combine it in ways that advance our understanding of a topic. This explains why parents still pay high fees for top tutors expert in specific subjects. While the idea of making knowledge free may seem noble, the case of Brooke Lim reminds us that most people are still concerned about preserving the value of knowledge and recognizing its creators. ____20____ A. This latter concern is no less noble. B. Quality knowledge comes at a cost. C. In the worst case, they may even be misinformed. D. Creating it requires significant investment and effort. E. Therefore, such knowledge should not be entirely free for everyone. F. For this reason, we have laws to protect the rights of knowledge creators. G. Thus, a film director should pay for the right to use a musician’s song in a movie. 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. B 19. C 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕“知识有价”展开论述。 【16题详解】 根据上文“This kind of knowledge is valuable because of the effort behind it.(这种知识因背后付出的努力而具有价值。)”和下文“This was also the view of 700 people who demanded that a university application essay by Brooke Lim should be reviewed for plagiarism (抄袭).(700 人要求核查布鲁克・林的大学申请文书是否存在抄袭，他们也持同样观点。)”可知，上文强调知识有价值，下文紧接着用700人反对抄袭、重视知识价值的事例进行佐证。E 选项 “Therefore, such knowledge should not be entirely free for everyone.(因此，这类知识不应该对所有人完全免费。)”承接“知识有价值”的观点，自然引出后文人们反对抄袭、维护知识价值的事例，逻辑连贯。故选E。 【17题详解】 根据上文“People should pay for using their knowledge.(人们使用他人的知识应当付费。)”和下文“They prevents others from reproducing, distributing, or displaying knowledge without payment or acknowledgment of the owners.(它们阻止他人在未付费、未注明出处的情况下复制、传播或展示相关知识成果。)”可知，下文主语They指代F选项中的laws，F选项 “For this reason, we have laws to protect the rights of knowledge creators.(因此，我们有法律保护知识创作者的权利。)”既承接“使用知识需付费”的观点，又引出下文法律的具体作用，代词指代清晰。故选F。 【18题详解】 根据下文“Without proper funding, reliable knowledge may suffer. Consider the internet, where anyone — expert or beginner — can express opinions on any topic. The result is a flood of free information that is often incomplete or unreliable. In contrast, articles from trusted news sources and academic journals charge fees because they provide valuable and dependable knowledge.( 若缺乏充足的资金支持，可靠的知识可能会面临困境。以互联网为例，无论是专业人士还是新手，任何人都能就任意话题发表观点。这便导致海量免费信息泛滥，而这些信息往往残缺不全、可信度低。与之相反，权威新闻媒体和学术期刊刊载的文章需要付费阅读，因为它们提供的是有价值、可信赖的知识。)”可知，下文对比免费网络信息与付费权威期刊，突出优质知识需要成本。B选项“Quality knowledge comes at a cost.(优质知识是需要付出代价的。)”是本段中心句，总领下文“资金不足会影响知识质量、付费知识更可靠”的内容，与下文形成总分逻辑。故选B。 【19题详解】 上文“Students researching projects may not find free online content helpful in advancing their knowledge.(做课题研究的学生可能发现免费网络内容无助于提升学识。)”可知，上文指出免费网络信息的弊端。C选项“In the worst case, they may even be misinformed.(最坏的情况下，他们甚至可能被误导。)”是上文“无帮助”的递进，进一步说明免费网络信息的弊端，与下文“This explains why parents still pay high fees for top tutors expert in specific subjects.(这也正是家长们仍愿意花高价聘请各学科顶尖专业导师的原因。)”指出的“付费专业辅导更有用”形成对比。 【20题详解】 根据上文“While the idea of making knowledge free may seem noble, the case of Brooke Lim reminds us that most people are still concerned about preserving the value of knowledge and recognizing its creators.(尽管让知识免费的理念看似高尚，但布鲁克・林的案例提醒我们，大多数人依然重视维护知识的价值、认可知识创作者的付出。)”可知，上文对比“知识免费”和“维护知识价值”两种理念，A选项“This latter concern is no less noble.(后一种担忧同样高尚。)”总结全文，点明尊重知识价值与知识免费一样有意义，收束全篇。故选A。 三、完形填空（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。 “Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger,” explains Travis Atkinson, a licensed clinical social worker. “99% of the time, they are the ____21____ of an intense emotion: anger, which is brought about by stress from work, frustrations in life, and even hunger.” This is based, in part, on the theory of emotional hijacking, which suggests that intense emotions — like anger — can temporarily affect our ability to think ____22____ and make sensible decisions. The amygdala — the brain’s “integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation” — is involved too. More ____23____, a process called “amygdala hijack” comes into play: when the amygdala becomes overactivated it sets off the fight-or-flight response, leading to narrowed focus. This in turn causes a(n) ____24____ of good judgment, leading to a flash of anger. It results in ____25____ that are driven more by emotional intensity than by genuine thoughts or beliefs. This indicates that the ____26____ of the person’s outburst might not even be at the root of their anger. Perhaps, they were angry about the way their boss treated them at work. They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can ____27____ at the slightest disagreement with the friend they were catching up with at dinner. Letting out anger can help people feel emotionally ____28____, many psychologists argue. Others, however, believe an outburst can actually intensify our emotions and end up being ____29____. “You have the sense of immediate improvement, but it’s only a(n) ____30____,” says Jeffrey Lohr, a professor of psychology at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. “But the point is, it might be the search for that short-lived relief — even if it brings further harm — that drives a person to ____31____ angrily.” Lohr doesn’t see angry outbursts as a healthy way to release anger, yet he also warns against bottling up ____32____ feelings. His ____33____: releasing anger without using hurtful words. But managing emotions isn’t easy, and not everyone can control their feelings well. Sometimes ____34____ slip out before we even realize what we’re saying. We only ____35____ it when the other person looks hurt or after we understand what we’ve said. 21. A. cause B. development C. expression D. perception 22. A. logically B. creatively C. subjectively D. instinctively 23. A. hopefully B. specifically C. thoroughly D. doubtfully 24. A. loss B. display C. sense D. act 25. A. statements B. conflicts C. improvements D. symptoms 26. A. duration B. impact C. tone D. source 27. A. build up B. die down C. show off D. spill out 28.

A. interrupt B. react C. gesture D. shake 32. A. mixed B. hidden C. negative D. honest 33. A. reason B. outburst C. consequence D. solution 34. A. secrets B. emotions C. words D. behaviours 35. A. experience B. notice C. accept D. review 【答案】21. C 22. A 23. B 24. A 25. A 26. D 27. D 28. B 29. C 30. A 31. B 32. C 33. D 34. C 35. B 【解析】 【导语】文章借助情绪劫持理论，解释人们愤怒时说出违心话语的缘由，介绍了关于发泄愤怒的两种不同观点，并提出宣泄愤怒但不说伤人话语的处理办法。 【21题详解】 考查名词。句意：“在99%的情况下，这些话都是强烈情绪的一种表达：愤怒，这种情绪由工作压力、生活挫折甚至饥饿所引发。”A. cause原因；B. development发展；C. expression表达；D. perception感知。根据前文“Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger”可知，有时人们会在愤怒时说出违心的话，这些气头上说的话大多数都是在表达一种强烈的情绪。 【22题详解】 考查副词。句意：这在一定程度上基于情绪劫持理论，该理论认为诸如愤怒这类强烈情绪会暂时影响我们逻辑思考以及做出理智决定的能力。A. logically逻辑地；B. creatively创造性地；C. subjectively主观地；D. instinctively本能地。根据空后的“and make sensible decisions”可知，and表示并列，和“做出理智的决定”相对应的是逻辑地思考。 【23题详解】 考查副词。句意：更具体地说，一种叫作“杏仁核劫持”的机制就会开始起作用：当杏仁核过度激活时，就会触发战斗或逃跑反应，造成注意力变得狭隘。A. hopefully满怀希望地；B. specifically具体地；C. thoroughly彻底地；D. doubtfully怀疑地。根据前文第二段“This is based, in part, on the theory of emotional hijacking, which suggests that intense emotions — like anger — can temporarily affect our ability to think ________ and make sensible decisions. The amygdala — the brain’s ‘integrative center for emotions, emotional behavior, and motivation’ — is involved too.”可知，第二段总述了情绪劫持理论，此处引出“杏仁核劫持”这一具体过程，more specifically为固定过渡短语，意为“更具体地说”，用于进一步细化解释。 【24题详解】 考查名词。句意：这继而会造成良好判断力的丧失，引发怒火的瞬间爆发。A. loss丧失；B. display展示；C. sense感觉；D. act行动。根据前文“a process called ‘amygdala hijack’ comes into play: when the amygdala becomes overactivated it sets off the fight-or-flight response, leading to narrowed focus.”可知，杏仁核过度激活会触发战斗或逃跑反应，注意力变得狭隘，由此会造成丧失良好判断力。 【25题详解】 考查名词。句意：这就会产生更多受情绪强度驱使，而非源于真实想法或信念的言辞。A. statements言辞；B. conflicts冲突；C. improvements改善；D. symptoms症状。根据文章首句“Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger”可知，人们在愤怒时会说出违心的话，此处表示人在愤怒爆发之时会说出一些非真实想法或信念驱动的言辞。 【26题详解】 考查名词。句意：这表明，一个人当场发火的由头甚至可能并不是其愤怒情绪的真正根源。A. duration持续时间；B. impact影响；C. tone语气；D. source来源。根据后文“Perhaps, they were angry about the way their boss treated them at work. They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can ________ at the slightest disagreement with the friend they were catching up with at dinner.”可知，后文举例说明人可能把对老板的不满积压下来，最后在无辜朋友身上爆发愤怒，由此可看出，当场发火的由头可能并不是愤怒的真正根源。 【27题详解】 考查动词短语。句意：他们当时或许无力反击，但自那时起积压在心中的愤怒，会在和共进晚餐叙旧的朋友产生一点点分歧时就宣泄迸发出来。A. build up逐步积累；B. die down逐渐平息；C. show off炫耀；D. spill out迸发，涌出。根据空前的“They may not have been able to fight back then, but the anger they’ve held on to since can”可知，把愤怒压抑在心中，遇到小小的分歧，积压的怒火就会迸发、宣泄出来。 【28题详解】 考查形容词。句意：许多心理学家认为，发泄愤怒能够帮助人们在情绪上感到宽慰。A. distressed痛苦的；B. relieved宽慰的；C. trapped受困的；D. weakened被削弱的。根据后文“You have the sense of immediate improvement”及“it might be the search for that short-lived relief”可知，发泄愤怒，会让人有瞬间好转的感觉，让人的内心得到释放，感到宽慰。 【29题详解】 考查形容词。句意：然而另一些人认为，情绪爆发实际上会加剧我们的情绪，最终起到无益的效果。A. productive富有成效的；B. uninteresting无趣的；C. unhelpful无益的；D. challenging有挑战性的。根据上一段中“Letting out anger can help people feel emotionally ________, many psychologists argue.”及本句的“however”可知，前文说发泄愤怒对人们的帮助，此处转折引出反对观点，认为爆发怒火会加剧情绪，最终是无益的。 【30题详解】 考查名词。句意：阿肯色大学费耶特维尔分校的心理学教授杰弗里·洛尔说道：“你会有种立刻好转的感觉，但这仅仅只是一种感觉。”A. sense感觉；B. fix修复；C. change改变；D. emotion情绪。根据空前的“You have the sense of immediate improvement, but it’s only”可知，愤怒爆发看似能带来立刻好转的感受，but表转折，否定这种感受的真实性，说明这仅仅是主观上的感觉，并不是真正的好转。 【31题详解】 考查动词。句意：“但关键在于，即便是会带来更多伤害，对那种短暂解脱感的渴求，也可能驱使一个人做出愤怒的反应。”A. interrupt打断；B. react作出反应；C. gesture做手势；D. shake摇晃。根据前文“it might be the search for that short-lived relief — even if it brings further harm”可知，人们追求短暂的情绪释放，即便会造成伤害，也会在情绪驱动下做出愤怒的反应。 【32题详解】 考查形容词。句意：洛尔并不把愤怒爆发看作释放怒火的健康方式，但他同时也警示不要压抑负面情绪。A. mixed复杂的；B. hidden隐藏的；C. negative负面的；D. honest诚实的。根据空前的“Lohr doesn’t see angry outbursts as a healthy way to release anger, yet he also warns against bottling up”可知，yet表转折，既不支持发火爆发，也不建议压抑负面的情绪。 【33题详解】 考查名词。句意：他的解决办法：宣泄愤怒，但不使用伤人的话语。A. reason理由；B. outburst爆发；C. consequence后果；D. solution解决办法。根据空后的“releasing anger without using hurtful words.”可知，冒号后面给出具体可行的应对情绪的解决办法：不用伤人的话语来释放愤怒。 【34题详解】 考查名词。句意：有时候，话语会在我们甚至还没意识到自己在说什么的时候就脱口而出。A. secrets秘密；B. emotions情绪；C. words话语；D. behaviours行为。根据文章首句“Sometimes, people say things they don’t mean out of anger”及空后的“slip out before we even realize what we’re saying.”可知，人们在愤怒时会说出违心的话，此处表示有时候话语不经思考脱口而出。 【35题详解】 考查动词。句意：只有当对方面露受伤神情，或是在我们明白自己说了什么之后，我们才会察觉到这件事。A. experience经历；B. notice察觉到；C. accept接受；D. review回顾。根据前文“slip out before we even realize what we’re saying.”可知，话说出口时毫无察觉，直到看到对方受伤或自己知道所说的话后，我们才察觉到自己失言了。 四、语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个恰当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 In 1866, a terrible sea creature was seen by several ships. Biologist Pierre Aronnax and his servant and the whale hunter joined a ship to find it. After a long journey, they discovered that the “creature” was actually a submarine. Unfortunately, the biologist, along with his companions ____36____ (capture) and taken inside, ____37____ they met Captain Nemo.

While 40. adapted 41. unbelievable 42. shining 43. Truly 44. the 45. at 【解析】 【导语】文章改编自《海底两万里》，主要讲述了生物学家阿龙纳斯等人被潜艇俘虏后，在海底漫步时目睹的奇妙水下世界。 【36题详解】 考查动词时态和被动语态。句意：不幸的是，这位生物学家和他的同伴们一起被俘获并被带进了潜艇内部，在那里他们见到了尼摩船长。根据空后的“and taken inside”可知，空处与taken并列作谓语，应用一般过去时的被动语态；主语the biologist为单数，along with his companions不影响主语的单复数，谓语动词与the biologist保持一致，所以be动词用was。 【37题详解】 考查定语从句。句意：同上。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词inside（指代潜艇内部），关系词在从句中作地点状语，所以用关系副词where引导该从句。 【38题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：为了保守这个秘密，尼摩告诉他们不允许离开。此处为“permit sb. to do sth.”的被动形式，即“sb. be permitted to do sth.”，意为“某人被允许做某事”，空处应用不定式。 【39题详解】 考查连词。句意：虽然内德·兰德一心只想着逃跑，但阿龙纳斯却被这个新水下世界迷住了。分析句子结构可知，空处引导让步状语从句，此处用while引导让步状语从句，表“虽然、尽管”；位于句首，首字母需大写。 【40题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：在这部分改编自该书的选段中，阿龙纳斯描述了在海底行走的情景。根据空前的“In this part”和空后的“from the book”可知，空处修饰part，作后置定语；part与adapt之间为逻辑上的动宾关系，应用过去分词形式。 【41题详解】 考查形容词。句意：言语不足以描述如此令人难以置信的奇观！根据空后的名词wonders可知，空处需用形容词作定语；结合语境，此处表示“难以置信的”，应用unbelievable。 【42题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意：太阳光的强光让我惊叹，它轻易地穿透了水，所以我能清楚地分辨远处的物体。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语动词astonished，空处应用非谓语动词；shine与逻辑主语The solar light之间为主动关系，应用现在分词作伴随状语。 【43题详解】 考查副词。句意：确实，这水不过是另一种空气，比地球的大气层更重。空处修饰整个句子，应用副词作状语；true的副词形式为truly“事实上，的确”；位于句首，首字母需大写。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：确实，这水不过是另一种空气，比地球的大气层更重。根据空后的“Earth’s atmosphere”可知，此处特指地球的大气层，应用定冠词。 【45题详解】 考查介词。句意：当我说在三十英尺深的地方，我看得像在光天化日之下一样清楚，会有人相信我吗？根据空后的“the depth of thirty feet”可知，此处表示“在……深度”，应用介词at。 五、书面表达（共两题，满分40分） 46. 人们对于学生网上交友持不同意见。请你用英语写一篇关于学生网上交友的短文，介绍人们的不同观点，并表达自己的看法。要求：1.文章必须包括表中的内容。 2.字数80词左右。 赞成的理由 反对的理由 你的看法 广交朋友 可自由表达思想 利于外语学习 浪费时间 影响学习 可能上当受骗 ? ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Should students make friends online?

She was half German shepherd, half collie. I was filled with excitement because it had been my dream to have a lovely and smart puppy to keep me company. As her pink tongue tickled my face with wet licks, it was love at first hug. My family named the puppy Dusty. Although I wanted to lay sole claim to her affections, in a family of seven kids, no one laid permanent claim to the family pet. Dusty was our dog, not my dog. But we soon realized that Dusty was doing her best to give all of us great patience and lots of unconditional love. My baby sister often used Dusty’s warm fur as a nap-time pillow, falling asleep soundly on the cosy rug (毛毯). Like a protective mother, Dusty waited patiently, not moving, until my sister woke. She would gently lick my sister’s rosy cheeks, making her giggle. Dusty doubled as a school crossing guard, too. From Monday to Friday she’d walk us kids two blocks to St. Patrick’s Parochial, looking both ways to check for traffic before allowing us to cross the street. We’d wave goodbye as we entered the door, knowing Dusty would be waiting at the school door until the end of the school day. Of all the contributions Dusty made to our family, one incident stands out far and above all others. Late one night, Dusty rushed to my parents’ bedroom. She barked and barked. When she got no response, Dusty raced upstairs to my bedroom and my brothers’ bedroom and barked again and again. When she failed to fully wake us, she flew back down the steps and returned to my parents’ room. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右；2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Finally, she got Mom’s attention. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The house across the street, where my best friend Maria and her family lived, was on fire. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Finally, she got Mom’s attention. “What are you doing, Dusty?” Mom snapped, still halfway in dreamland. But Dusty persisted. Finally my mother gave in. “Okay, what is it?” Dusty whined and rushed out of Mom’s room. Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door. When Mom opened the door to let her out, Dusty tore across the street, not stopping to do as my mother had assumed she would. Then she discovered something unusual — the bright flames and thick smoke. The house across the street, where my best friend Maria and her family lived, was on fire. My mother alerted the fire department immediately. Soon, the firefighters in their trucks roared up the street, put out the blaze, and saved my best friend’s family from harm and their house from total ruin. Later, my mother refused to take credit. “It was Dusty,” she told us. “She saved them, not me.” I put my arms around my dog’s neck and kissed her. “Thank you for saving Maria. You’re the bravest dog I’ve ever known.” Dusty wagged her tail and licked my face. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者小时候教父教母送给他一只名为达斯汀的小狗，达斯汀温柔守护家人、护送孩子们上学，某天深夜不停吠叫试图唤醒家人的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“最后，她引起了妈妈的注意。”可知，第一段可描写妈妈被吵醒后起初不耐烦，达斯汀坚持引导妈妈到前门，妈妈开门后发现达斯汀冲向街对面，随即看到异常的火焰和浓烟。 ②由第二段首句内容“街对面，我最好的朋友玛丽亚和她家人住的房子着火了。”可知，第二段可描写妈妈立即报警，消防员赶来灭火救人，妈妈称是达斯汀救了人，作者拥抱感谢达斯汀，达斯汀开心回应。 2. 续写线索：引起妈妈注意——引导妈妈前门——发现街对面火情——报警求救——消防员灭火救人——归功达斯汀——作者感谢达斯汀 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冲出去：rush out of/ dash out of ②发现：discover/spot/find ③扑灭：put out/extinguish 情绪类 ①不耐烦：snap/get impatient ②感激：thank/show gratitude 【点睛】[高分句型1] Thinking the dog needed to be let out to relieve herself, my mother followed Dusty to the front door.（运用了现在分词短语作原因状语） [高分句型2] When Mom opened the door to let her out, Dusty tore across the street, not stopping to do as my mother had assumed she would.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句和现在分词短语作伴随状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
