四川省绵阳市重点中学2025-2026学年高三上学期10月月考英语试题
一、阅读理解
Freshwater is vital for all life on our planet. Yet, in many places around the globe, our management of freshwater resources is becoming unsustainable. Understanding the interconnectedness and complexity of local and regional freshwater issues is critical to living sustainably on Earth. That’s why the National Geographic Society and the Nature Conservancy have joined forces to develop a program centered around a unique remote externship (校外实习) program for young adults worldwide.
The Experience
Throughout the externship, you will learn about freshwater conservation careers from weekly webinars (研讨会) featuring the National Geographic Society and the Nature Conservancy experts, your own research, and informative interviews conducted with local conservation organizations.
During this externship, you will also:
·Gain knowledge of freshwater conservation issues and strategies through resources and case studies provided by the two partner organizations.
·Engage with local leaders, conservationists, and community members to grasp freshwater-related challenges and their impacts on the community.
·Apply primary and secondary research methods to investigate existing conservation initiatives and identify local freshwater issues.
·Conduct landscape and gap analyses to uncover conservation gaps and propose actionable solutions.
·Develop written and visual storytelling skills to effectively communicate key issues and community-based action strategies.

My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic ” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.
4．What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1
A．She had given up the hobby of drawing. B．She was excited about studying medicine.
C．She felt torn between art and medical study. D．She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
5．Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______.
A．a plus. B．a leisure. C．a distraction. D．a burden.
6．How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her
A．It helped develop her surgical skills. B．It directed her toward doctor training.
C．It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D．It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
7．What message does the author want to convey
A．Follow the beaten track to success. B．A picture is worth a thousand words.
C．Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D．Two strings to your bow light the way.
Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (泥炭地): “If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of,” described William Gilpin in 1772.
But now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner. UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. It’s vital this carbon stays to avoid further global heating.
The Flow Country was chosen for its natural heritage not cultural significance, which comes as a welcome contrast to the vast majority of the UK’s other world heritage sites. Prioritising culture might make sense for places like Stonehenge or Durham Cathedral, but the Lake District Not so much. The Lake District National Park is remarkable for its natural geography: deep valleys, uneven peaks and icy lakes. People have long shaped the area, but their impact is just a thin layer on a remarkably splendid landscape. Yet, when the park gained world heritage status in 2017, it was largely upon the basis of its relatively recent tradition of sheep farming. The decision reflected how the English perceive the natural world.
But the recognition of the Flow Country looks even more profound. It represents a change not only in our perception of peatlands but of nature itself. Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss (苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials.
None of that is to ignore humans’ role in the Flow Country but we should recognize that no landscape in the UK can be considered in isolation from its culture, while also remembering that the human story never unfolds alone.
8．Why does the author quote William Gilpin in paragraph 1
A．To illustrate the author’s point.
B．To give a scientific explanation.
C．To provide historical background.
D．To present a common partial view.
9．For what was the Flow Country recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site
A．Climate benefit and natural value.
B．Beautiful scenery and conservation efforts.
C．Geographical uniqueness and rare species.
D．Educational significance and cultural value.
10．What does the underlined phrase “aligns with” in paragraph 4 mean
A．addresses. B．matches. C．Challenges. D．Outweighs.
11．What is the text mainly about
A．The formation of the Flow Country.
B．The recognition of the Lake District.
C．The long-overdue respect for peatlands.
D．The conservation difficulties of peatlands.
Are you a logical thinker, or would you say that you’re more free-spirited and artistic If you’re the former, somebody’s probably told you at some point that you’re a left-brained person, and if you’re the latter, right-brained. The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction.
Although we all obviously have different personalities and talents, there’s no reason to believe these differences can be explained by the dominance of one half of the brain over the other half. Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person
If there’s no evidence for the fiction of right-brained and left-brained people, why do so many people accept it Perhaps it just makes intuitive (直觉的) sense that people’s brains would be dominant on one side or the other just as their hands, feet, or eyes are. It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.
When people are offered general descriptive statements that are presented as individualized descriptions of their own personalities, they tend to accept them as meaningful and true, especially if the statements are positive. The “insights” they generate are both universal and congenial (合意的). After all, who would reject a description of themselves as “artistic and creative” or “reasonable and analytical” The fiction is popular, in the end, because it gives us a “scientific” way to talk about our favorite subject — ourselves.
12．Which is a common belief about people’s individual characteristics
A．A logical thinker is right-brained.
B．An artist and poet is left-brained.
C．The dominant half of the brain determines one’s characteristics.
D．The dominant half of the brain is not related to one’s characteristics.
13．Why does the author mention mathematics in paragraph 2
A．To contradict a popular belief.
B．To show math is a logical subject.
C．To emphasize the significance of creativity.
D．To highlight the importance of logical thinking.
14．Why do many people believe in the left-brain/right-brain theory
A．This theory is widespread and popular.
B．It provides a way for them to sort personalities.
C．Scientific studies have already confirmed its accuracy.
D．Brain imaging technique has shown hemispheric differences.
15．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A．Why Are Left-Brained People Smarter
B．The Science of Math: Left or Right Brain
C．The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance
D．Ways to Develop Logical and Creative Thinking
There have been several incidents in recent years where people died because of unsafe crowd conditions and stampedes (人群的蜂拥), the latest one unfolding in Seoul, South Korea, with at least 155 deaths reported. This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. 16 But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. Consider these steps below:
The key to staying safe in a crowd begins as soon as you arrive at the location, says Randy Atlas, a safety consultant based in Fort Lauderdale. 17 It’s a piece of common sense advice that Atlas applies not just at big events, but even when entering almost any room.
If there’s a sudden panic and crowds begin to push in a certain direction, your instinct (本能) may be to fight back and push the opposite way. 18 If you go against the flow, you increase your chances of getting tripped and knocked down. Another risk, according to experts: If you fight the crowd, you will tire yourself out quickly in a situation where energy is needed.
As you move forward with the crowd, it’s best to move in a diagonal (对角线的) direction so you can potentially angle your way out of the situation. The goal is to get to the edge of the stampede where it’s less likely that you’ll end up stuck at a choke-point, like a doorway.
19 Look for a solid structure to stand behind such as a pillar or a wall. Other places to duck: behind a car or even a lamp post.
In many stampede events, people die simply because they are crushed to the point they can’t breathe. But a possible way to avoid this is to place your arms in front of you, almost in a boxer-like position. That could give you some very valuable breathing room — literally. 20
A．Another potential way is to shelter yourself.
B．But that could be a big mistake, Atlas warns.
C．In this case, you don’t necessarily have to wait and let time slip by.
D．Namely, to take note of where the nearest exits are.
E．It’s a simple pose, but surprisingly effective and possibly life-saving.
F．Other events, such as a Halloween gathering, are likely to turn deadly.
G．Indeed it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.
二、完形填空
It was mid-February, and the mountain air remained bitterly cold. My ten-year-old winter coat had a 21 zipper. Attempts were made to repair it, but it was still hard to 22 . I decided it was finally time to buy a new coat — though every dollar 23 these days.
When I pulled into the store parking lot, I 24 a homeless man and his dog near the entrance. He held a cardboard sign asking for help, but cars kept driving past him. Out of 25 , I stopped, gave him some money, and then went inside for a new coat.
As I was about to 26 , I saw that he was still there. I drove back, got out of my car, and 27 him. He was younger than I had expected, with long hair but 28 eyes. Although his clothes were 29 , his behavior was calm and hopeful. His dog looked 30 cared for, too.
I handed him some extra cash and offered him my old coat, explaining the 31 problem. He smiled gratefully and said he was sure someone would 32 it. When I asked if there was anything else he needed, he simply replied “Thanks”. I shook his hand and promised to 33 him in my thoughts.
From this encounter, I learned three lessons: even in 34 , people can remain kind; every act of generosity matters; and we all 35 through life toward the same destination. It is best to travel with a caring heart, a positive attitude, and a friendly smile.

三、语法填空
阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
“Nine rivers meet in Tianjin, with three floating bridges and two passes.” 36 (locate) just a short train ride from Beijing, Tianjin is a lively port city 37 East meets West, tradition meets innovation and historic charm blends with modern life.
Tianjin’s architectural landscape tells a vivid story of its history. The former concession areas (租界), such as the Italian Style Town, 38 (line) with elegant European villas, Gothic churches, and Art Deco buildings. Wander through these tree-lined streets, and you’ll feel transported to a past era, while steps away, futuristic skyscrapers like the Tianjin Tower reach the sky, 39 (symbolize) rapid modernization.
You can’t have a complete visit to Tianjin 40 tasting its local dishes. Start your day with a crispy jianbing guozi, cooked fresh on a hot pan and folded with egg, green onions, and tasty sauce. For lunch, try Goubuli Baozi, 41 century-old specialty known for its soft texture and juicy fillings.
Beyond food and architecture, Tianjin’s natural and cultural 42 (attract) fascinate visitors. A cruise along the Haihe River at night reveals the city’s romance, with lights reflecting beautifully on the water. The ancient Huangyaguan Great Wall, a short drive from the city, offers hiking trails with amazing mountain views. Hikers often speak 43 (enthusiastic) of the breathtaking scenery there.
Tianjin is more than a city — it’s a living museum. Whether you 44 (explore) historic lanes, tasting local flavors, or admiring modern wonders, Tianjin promises an 45 (forget) journey that bridges the gap between East and West, past and future.

五、书面表达
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。
Grandpa Miller and six-year-old Timmy were always busy at their shared workbench. Under Grandpa’s gentle guidance, Timmy carefully polished a small wooden dog that they had made together for a long time, proud to be learning “real work” from Grandpa.
Their joy also spread around the big dinner table. Timmy kept talking to Grandpa. “Will the dog stand firmly, Grandpa ” “Sure! I sanded it SUPER smooth!” Grandpa responded gently.
Across the table sat Timmy’s father, Ben. He bent over his laptop, his eyebrows frowned (皱)。The joy of the grandfather and grandson seemed to escape him. “Quarterly reports are due tomorrow,” he replied to his wife Sarah absent-mindedly, who had just reminded him of the delicious potatoes. He grabbed a bite, his eyes sliding back to the laptop, blind to the warmth around him. When he reached for the bowl, intending to take a quick sip (抿), his arm knocked it over. Some hot soup spilled (洒) onto the table.
“Be careful!” Sarah said softly. She grabbed a cloth and started to clean the spill quickly. Ben was wiping his laptop when some soup spilled on his trousers. “Oh, annoying! The harder I try to get this done quickly, the more things go wrong!” said he, getting angry. Astonished, little Timmy stopped talking at once. He stared at his father quietly, not knowing what to do.
Grandpa Miller watched what happened calmly and then spoke in his low voice - the same familiar tone that used to comfort Ben when he was small. “Easy there, son,” he said firmly, “The soup deserves your whole heart, so does the moment with all of us.”

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一个针对全球年轻人的独特的远程校外实习项目，包括实习内容、资格要求、时长和奖励等。
1．细节理解题。根据第一段中“Understanding the interconnectedness and complexity of local and regional freshwater issues is critical to living sustainably on Earth. That’s why the National Geographic Society and the Nature Conservancy have joined forces to develop a program centered around a unique remote externship (校外实习) program for young adults worldwide.(了解当地和区域淡水问题的相互关联性和复杂性对于在地球上可持续生活至关重要。这就是为什么国家地理学会和大自然保护协会联手开发了一个项目，该项目围绕着一个针对全球年轻人的独特远程校外实习项目展开)”可知，这个校外实习项目的目的是帮助全球年轻人了解淡水挑战。故选D项。
2．细节理解题。根据During this externship, you will also:部分中的“·Conduct landscape and gap analyses to uncover conservation gaps and propose actionable solutions.(·进行景观和差距分析，以发现保护差距并提出可行的解决方案)”可知，参与者在实习期间可能会提出可行的解决方案。故选C项。
3．细节理解题。根据表格中的“8 weeks；Hours/week：10；Hourly Rate：$6；Additional Rewards：$30(8周，每周小时数：10，每小时费率：6美元，额外奖励：30美元)”和最后一段“Note: Those who finish all required tasks (whether for the 4-week track or the 8-week track) will be qualified for an additional reward.(注意：完成所有必需任务的人(无论是4周课程还是8周课程)都有资格获得额外奖励)”可知，一个为期8周的实习生每周工作10小时，每小时6美元，完全完成任务后额外奖励30美元，即8×10×6+30=510美元。故选C项。
4．C 5．A 6．D 7．D
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结，后来在学校职业招聘会、医院志愿者活动等经历的影响下，发现自己的艺术技能在医疗领域有独特的作用，从而将两者结合起来的故事。
4．推理判断题。根据第一段““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂，但会饿肚子”妈妈总是这么说。当我的生物课本慢慢把我的画本掩埋时，她的话萦绕在我心头)” 可知，Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间难以抉择，感到很纠结。故选C。
5．细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations.(哈佛大学的埃莉诺·惠特曼博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。当我写下“观察细节”时，我的手在颤抖——这是我从画花瓣中学到的。“这是医学研究最需要的技能！”她大声说道，并分享了一个学生如何将微生物学笔记变成教科书插图的故事)” 可知，Dr. Eleanor 认为 Lora 的 “隐藏技能” 是一个优势。故选A。
6．推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said.(在观看手术时，我注意到了一些事情 —— 医生稳定的手让我想起了我的绘画技巧。当一个男孩难以描述他的疼痛时，我在他的石膏上画了一条喷火的龙。护士说：“你让医学有了声音”)” 可推知，Lora 在医院的经历让她确信艺术在医疗保健中有作用。故选D。
7．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.(如今，我的显微镜和画笔共用一张桌子。曾经在它们之间犹豫不决的手，现在为疫苗教育制作病毒的 3D 模型。有时我教年轻的病人画出他们的感受，而不是描述它们。我的故事不是关于内心和现实相互抵消 —— 它们只是增加了可能性)” 可知，文章主要传达了拥有两种技能（艺术和医学知识）可以照亮人生道路，带来更多可能性的信息。所以文章传达了“双管齐下，照亮道路”。故选D。
8．D 9．A 10．B 11．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了泥炭地从过去被旅行者视为威胁的存在，到Flow Country成为首个入选世界遗产的泥炭地，其认知发生的转变；通过对比英国湖区的入选依据，阐述了Flow Country的入选不仅源于其自然价值与气候益处，更体现了人类对泥炭地乃至自然本身认知的深刻变化。
8．推理判断题。文章第一段开篇提到“Travellers have long feared being swallowed into the peatlands (长期以来，旅行者们一直害怕被泥炭地吞没。)”，随后引用William Gilpin 1772 年的描述“If his foot slips ... it is possible he may never more be heard of (要是他脚一滑……可能就再也没人听说过他了。)”，是为了具体呈现过去人们对泥炭地普遍存在的恐惧和负面印象，旨在生动呈现历史上人们对泥炭地广泛存在的恐惧与负面印象 —— 这种视泥炭地为“威胁”的认知实属片面。第二段紧随其后以but进行转折，指出“now the image of this ecosystem finally turns a corner (如今该生态系统的形象终于迎来转变)”，形成强烈对比。因此，该处引用的主要目的在于呈现一种曾经普遍存在的片面观念。故选D。
9．细节理解题。根据文章第二段“UNESCO has recognized the Flow Country as a world heritage (遗产) site-the first peatland to make the list-due to its natural characteristics: the remarkable variety of plants and animals that live there. It’s also recognized that these peatlands are not humankind’s enemy but an important partner in the fight against climate crisis. Peat has formed in the Flow Country for 8,000 years, trapping carbon. (联合国教科文组织已将福洛地区认定为世界遗产地 —— 这是首个入选该名录的泥炭地 —— 因其具备独特的自然特征：这里栖息着种类极为丰富的动植物。人们还认识到，这些泥炭地并非人类的敌人，而是应对气候危机的重要伙伴。福洛地区的泥炭已形成 8000 年之久，期间一直在固存碳。)”可知，Flow Country入选世界遗产的原因有两点：一是其显著的自然价值，二是其气候益处。故选A。
10．词义猜测题。根据文章第四段“Unlike the Lake District, it prioritises not sheep, but moss ( 苔藓). This approach aligns with the growing movement to recognise the rights of nature: to reframe the natural world as something more than a collection of raw materials. (与湖区不同，福洛地区优先关注的并非绵羊，而是苔藓。这种理念契合了日益兴起的“承认自然权利”运动：该运动主张将自然界重新定义为不仅仅是原材料的集合体。)” 可知，Flow Country优先关注苔藓，即自然本身的理念，与“承认自然权利、不将自然仅视为原材料集合”的运动方向是一致的。“aligns with” 在此处意为“符合、匹配”，与“matches”含义相近。故选B。
11．主旨大意题。文章开篇以过去人们对泥炭地的恐惧引出话题，核心围 Flow Country成为首个泥炭地世界遗产展开，通过对比湖区的文化导向入选依据，强调Flow Country的入选源于自然价值与气候意义，更体现了人类对泥炭地从“敌人”到“伙伴”的认知转变 —— 这意味着泥炭地终于获得了应有的重视。选项C “The long-overdue respect for peatlands (泥炭地迟来的尊重)”概括了文章核心。故选C。
12．C 13．A 14．B 15．C
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要驳斥了左脑主导分析性、右脑主导创造性这种流行观念，并解释了为什么人们会相信这一观念。
12．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology.(右脑是创造性的一半，左脑是分析性的一半，我们的个人特征由哪一半占主导地位决定，这种观点在大众心理学中很普遍。)”可知，关于人的个性特征的普遍看法是大脑的主导半球决定了一个人的特征。故选C。
13．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Recent research using brain imaging technology hasn’t found any evidence of hemispheric (脑半球的) dominance. Math, for example, requires logical thought and, thus, is generally said to be connected with the left brain. But mathematics involves a highly creative effort in addition to being a logical one. So would a gifted mathematician be a right-brained or a left-brained person (最近使用脑成像技术的研究没有发现任何半球优势的证据。例如，数学需要逻辑思维，因此，通常被认为与左脑有关。但数学除了具有逻辑性外，还需要高度的创造性。那么，一个有天赋的数学家会是右脑型还是左脑型的人呢？)”可知，作者在第二段提到数学，说的是数学既需要左脑相关的逻辑思维，也需要右脑相关的创造力。作者通过这一例子，打破了“某一学科只对应某一脑半球”的固有认知，进而反驳“脑半球主导决定特质”的流行观点。故选A。
14．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“It may also have something to do with our seemingly unlimited appetite that allows us to sort ourselves (and our friends) into “types” based on our emotional and intellectual characteristics.(这也可能与我们看似无限的欲望有关，这种欲望让我们根据自己的情感和智力特征将自己（和我们的朋友）分类为“类型”。)”可知，人们相信左右脑理论的原因之一是，该理论为人们“划分人格类型”提供了一种方式。故选B。
15．主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“The idea that the right half of the brain is the creative half and the left half is the analytical (分析的) half and that our individual characteristics are determined by which half is dominant is widespread in popular psychology. However, this idea is a fiction.(右脑是创造性的一半，左脑是分析性的一半，我们的个人特征由哪一半占主导地位决定，这种观点在大众心理学中很普遍。然而，这个想法是虚构的。)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要探讨了关于大脑左右半球主导性决定个人特征的流行观点是虚构的，分析了这一虚构观点为何被广泛接受的原因，所以C选项“The Truth Behind Hemispheric Dominance(半球优势背后的真相)”是最佳标题。故选C。
16．G 17．D 18．B 19．A 20．E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了帮助避免踩踏事件致命后果的一些策略。
16．前文“This may leave some people thinking there’s little you can do to survive a stampede. (这可能会让一些人认为你在踩踏事件中几乎无能为力)”指出有人会认为无法幸免于踩踏事件，后文“But crowd-safety experts say there are several strategies that could help you avoid a potentially deadly outcome. (但人群安全专家表示，有几种策略可以帮助你避免潜在的致命后果)”指出有避免致命后果的策略，因此G项“Indeed it’s a frightening situation and circumstances may make it impossible to escape.

47．
Hearing the words, Ben froze. His fingers paused mid-air above the laptop keyboard, and the irritation on his face faded slowly. Memories flooded in—when he was Timmy’s age, Grandpa had said the same thing while teaching him to carve a wooden cart, reminding him to focus on the moment. Glancing up, he saw Timmy clutching the small wooden dog tightly, eyes wide with hesitation, and Sarah folding the soiled cloth quietly. “I’m sorry,” Ben said softly, closing the laptop. “I let work take over and missed this.” Timmy’s face lit up; he held out the wooden dog, and it stood steadily on the table. Grandpa smiled, pouring Ben a new bowl of soup.
After the dinner, Ben sat in front of the laptop again. But this time, his brows weren’t furrowed. The lingering warmth of the dinner calmed his restlessness. He typed steadily, and the quarterly report, which had felt like a burden, flowed smoothly. When he finished, he walked to the workbench. Timmy and Grandpa were polishing the wooden dog together. “Mind if I join ” Ben asked. Timmy handed him a piece of sandpaper, and Grandpa patted his arm. By the lamp’s glow, the three of them worked quietly, the gentle scraping of sandpaper the only sound in the peaceful room—this “real work” of togetherness was far more precious than any report.
【导语】 本文以祖孙三代的情感互动为线索展开，讲述了Miller爷爷与6岁的Timmy共同打磨小木狗，晚餐时祖孙俩充满欢喜，而Timmy的父亲Ben因急于完成季度报告，专注于笔记本电脑，打翻热汤后心生烦躁。爷爷以熟悉的温柔语气提醒他“专注当下与家人”，Ben醒悟后放下工作陪伴家人，晚饭后高效完成报告并加入祖孙俩的手工，最终体会到团聚的“真正工作”远比工作任务珍贵的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“听到这些话，Ben愣住了”可知，第一段可描写Ben听到爷爷的话后的反应 —— 手指停在键盘、怒气渐消，触发童年时爷爷教他做木车的回忆，观察到Timmy的犹豫与Sarah的沉默后心生愧疚，进而道歉并关掉电脑，Timmy主动展示小木狗，爷爷添汤，餐桌重归温馨。
②由第二段首句内容“晚饭后，Ben 又坐在了电脑前。”可知，第二段可描写Ben此次面对电脑时的状态变化 —— 不再皱眉、内心平静，高效完成曾是负担的报告，随后主动走向工作台请求加入祖孙俩，接过砂纸与家人一同打磨木狗，在宁静中感悟团聚的珍贵。
2. 续写线索：话语点醒——回忆往事——醒悟道歉—— 高效工作——加入陪伴——领悟真谛
3. 词汇激活

①愣住：freeze/pause/stand still
②关掉：close/shut down
③打磨：polish/sand
④加入：join in/take part in

②温馨：warmth/affection/tenderness
