Playing games was our life back then. Stevie and I were very competitive in everything.We got older and better so our games were more intense, but also more exciting. The strange thing is that I enjoyed the games vastly and was happy for my brother when he won. But afterwards, I felt my well-being threatened, and then my confidence suffered.When I was 10 years old I wanted to be successful at my talents. One day, a light came on in my head. I had to find something Stevie couldn’t do. It would have to be unique in every way. Before long, I got Jimmy Nelson’s record on “How to Become a Ventriloquist (腹语师)” and I practiced faithfully every day. After summer vacation, I did my first show for my class. The response was favorable. I performed for family get-togethers and did shows on a number of occasions to practice my new skill.It isn’t easy learning ventriloquism. The difficult part was developing the voice, because at first, it was soft and hard to hear. I memorized the routines and performed more. With time, I got better responses. The loud laughter was nonstop, in addition to the applause.Four years later, my mother purchased professional ventriloquial figure, which I named Freddie O’Sullivan. He was lifelike, with moving eyes, moving eyebrows, and could stick out his tongue. Treating Freddie like a real person enhanced my performance.In college, Freddie was well known. He would tell people that he was the only guy that could sleep in the girl’s dormitory. Over the years, I won many talent awards.One time, an elderly man looked at Freddie attentively and asked him where he got his trousers. The audience nearby had tears in their eyes. I didn’t know what was going on until I was told later the gentleman hadn’t spoken for 20 years.Thanks to my brother, I created a lifetime with Freddie.24. How did the author feel at first when Stevie won a game A. Delighted. B. Confused.C. Depressed. D. Surprised,25. Why did the author decide to learn ventriloquism A. To gain her parents’ favor in family get-togethers.B. To record her intense and competitive childhood.C. To have a special talent better than her brother.D. To bring joyous laughter to people around her.26. What do we know about Freddie O’Sullivan A. Freddie trained the author professionally.B. Freddie inspired an old man to restart to talk.C. Freddie took the place of the author’s brother.D. Freddie disturbed others in the girl’s dormitory.27. According to the passage, which words can best describe the author A. Generous and grateful. B. Modest and responsible.C. Patient and honest. D. Sensitive and determined.CTomorrow’s menus could feature items prepared with complex cooking techniques and presentation — all at the push of a button. Columbia University mechanical engineers have designed a 3 - D printer that can produce and cook dishes at the same time with details at the millimeter scale.The design combines a multiwavelength laser (激光) cooker, roughly the size of five smart phones piled together, with a microwave - oven - sized food printer. The system uses various light wavelengths to cook in different ways: a short - waved blue laser goes deep inside meat, for example, while infrared beams (红外线光束) brown the surface. As the device’s robotic arm places fine layers of chicken puree (酱, 糊), a high - powered beam moves over them and cooks the meat — with literally laser - focused precision. Thus, users can achieve perfect results — say, a machine - made burger that varies between rare and well done in a checkerboard pattern.“It gives you a lot more control and customization,” says Jonathan Blutinger, lead author of the paper and a digital - cooking researcher at Columbia. The researchers tested only chicken for this study, but the system can work with other foods as well.Beyond applying diverse materials and presentation patterns, this type of software - controlled setup could someday scan a QR code to automatically prepare dishes tailored to individual eating habits and dietary restrictions, Blutinger says.The new technology is “astonishing”, says Megan Ross, a food scientist who studies 3 - D printing at Ireland’s University College Cork. Ross notes that the design is still at a beginning stage and that many technical challenges remain, such as preventing cross pollution between layers of raw and cooked meat. Still, Ross is impressed by the device’s ability to produce foods outside the field of conventional cooking. “Is this going to be sold in shops everywhere in the next few years No,” she says. “But everyone has to start somewhere.”28. What makes the new design different from a common cooker A. It works automatically. B. It is attached to a printer.C. It cooks the whole of food. D. It can process various materials.29. How does the design work A. By customizing the dishes. B. By accessing 3 - D technology.C. By turning the food upside down. D. By using beams of diverse wavelengths.30. What is the new advantage of the design A. It is more flexible to operate. B. It can process meat.C. It avoids cross food pollution. D. It can be applied to QR code.31 What can we infer about the design from Ross’ words A. It makes a meaningful start. B. It will be well received soon.C. It goes well with technology. D. It is well thought of by the public.DThe two terms nature and nurture have been subjects of comparison since the 16th century. The argument is centered on the question as to whether it is nature or nurture that makes us who we are.Nature provides the starting point for an organism that will interact with nurture, the environment, during the organism’s life. Nature does not just affect an organism during its lifetime, but it also can directly affect the expression of genes in offspring (后代). For the Geneticists, they believe that our lives are entirely determined by genetics, which is nature. An opposing view is that there is no indication that genes (基因) determines one’s personality, rather there is growing evidence that nurture serves as the determining factor in personality development.Nurture refers to the conditions under which living things grow and develop after birth. When applied to human beings, it means how the person is raised, which includes nutrition, education, care, as well as the kind of surroundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.The argument of nature and nurture as to which is more important is necessitated by an attempt to differentiate how much effect genetics has on a person’s development against how easily humans are influenced by one’s environment.While nurture undeniably plays its part on the growth and development of one’s personality, nature dramatically outweighs nurture, for nature can be likened to a foundation. The impact of nurture on the development of persons cannot be totally denied. However, nature is regarded as being of most importance because of the fact that it affords an opportunity and creates a foundation and the basis for the question of nurture to arise at the very first instance. Even without nurture, the nature impact can still stand independently without necessarily causing destruction. More so, even when the nurture impact is successfully effected, it does not remove the genetic characteristics of a person. It therefore stands correctly that nature is that which determines the substance of a person.32. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 A. Nature’s role is supported by additional evidence.B. Personality development is determined by nurture.C. Nature impacts gene expression in later generation.D. Environment shapes personality more than genetics.33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about A. What nurture means to human beings.B. How living things develop after birth.C. How nurture shapes human development.D. How surroundings influence human beings.34. How does the author stress the greater importance of nature A. By giving examples.B. By making contrast.C. By conducting experiments.D. By citing research data.35. What is the best title for the text A. A Long Story of Nature and NurtureB. A New Research on Nature and NurtureC. Who Can Tell What Makes Who We Are D. Which Is More Important, Nature or Nurture 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。A major benefit of growing your own tomatoes is variety.

I’m home!” John slammed the door and dropped his books on a nearby chair.“Hi John, home already ” His mom turned around, “Spring is coming, and I am doing our annual spring e and help me, okay ”“Okay, okay,” John agreed reluctantly.They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was spotless. Exhausted, they sank into the couch. Wearily pointing to Pop-Pop’s chair, which was faded and worn, John’s mom exclaimed, “Oh my! That old chair has got to go. We’ll buy Pop-Pop a new one. Let’s take the chair to the curb (马路边缘). Tomorrow the garbage truck is picking up on our block.”As they attempted to move the chair, Pop-Pop, John’s grandpa, who lived with them since Grandma had died, worked his way through the door. Seeing what was happening, he quickly blocked their way. “Oh, no!” he protested. “You can’t take my chair.”“It’s old. . . It’s worn. . . . ” John’s mom argued, a slight edge to her voice.“No,” Pop-Pop persisted, trying to push his chair back into place.“But Pop, we’ll buy you a new one,” John’s mom tried to persuade the old man.“I don’t want a new one” Pop-Pop’s voice trembled.“I give up.” John’s mom let go of the chair. “We’ll discuss it tonight when Matt gets home.”Matt, John’s dad, was still at work. With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair and closed his eyes.“Pop-Pop, why won’t you let us get rid of the chair ” John asked when his mother left the room. “It’s so old.”“You don’t understand, John.” Pop-Pop shook his head and said, “I sat in this chair, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this chair and close my eyes I feel she is near.” The old man tenderly stroked the arm of the chair.It’s amazing, John thought, how Pop-Pop can remember things from the past. In the present, he forgets almost everything. John sat down on the floor by Pop-Pop’s feet and listened as the old man went on.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。That night, however, John’s parents carried the chair out to the curb._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After rescuing the chair from the garbage men, John rushed to find his mom._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________2023-2024 学年度上学期期中新洲区部分学校高中三年级质量检测英语试题考试时间:120分钟满分:150分2023.11第一部分 听力(共两节,满分30分)做题时,先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后,你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。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。每段对话仅读一遍。1. 【此处可播放相关音频,请去附件查看】What will the man probably do this weekend A.

Can you tell me who can become a photographer W: Anyone can become a photographer, as long as you want it. It’s not like you need a degree or certificate or anything. Yes, I’ve been planning to take photography classes in an art school in the UK, but before this, I’d already been working as a photographer for years — I started by using my phone in junior high. Some of my photographer friends do other jobs at the same time — they are music makers, vloggers and directors.M: What does a photographer usually do W: There are different kinds of photographers and our lives and work can be quite different, too. A National Geographic kind of photographer may travel to different places, taking photos of architecture, landscapes and animals. But fashion photographers like me, mainly do two things — commercial shoots and our own creative projects. The former is for making money and offering service to customers. The latter is for expression — we post these photos on our own social media, submit them to media outlets and contests, or host photographic exhibitions to show them off.M: What makes a good photographer W: For commercial shooting, there are some routines that we can follow and the most important thing is to meet the needs of our customers. For our own shoots, what matters most is that you have something that you want to express, and these things can be received or understood by a certain group of people who think similarly.M: Thanks for having given the interview.听下面一段独白,回答以下小题。【此处可播放相关音频,请去附件查看】18.

C【解析】【原文】W: Mozart was an outstanding musician and composer whose fame continues to grow more than two centuries after his death. He was born in Salzburg, Austria, in 1756. Before the age of four, he had shown great musical talent. His father then decided to let him start taking instrumental lessons. The boy’s reputation as a musical talent grew fast. At five, he was composing music. From that time on, Mozart was performing in concerts and writing music. By his early teens, he had mastered the piano and violin, and was writing symphonies and operas. His first major opera was performed in Milan in 1770, when he was only fourteen. At fifteen, Mozart became the conductor for an orchestra in Salzburg. In 1781, he left for Vienna, where he was in great demand as both a performer and a composition teacher. His first opera was a success. But life was not easy because he was a poor businessman, and his finances were always in a bad state. His music from the next decade was not very popular, and he eventually fell back on his teaching jobs for a living. In 1788 he stopped performing in public, preferring only to compose. He died in 1791 at the age of thirty-five. Although he lived only a short life, he composed over 600 works.第二部分 阅读(共两节,满分50分)第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C.D四个选项中选出最佳选项。ADo you love eating candies and chocolates Are you passionate about sugary treats and exploring unreleased and existing products If so, this is the PERFECT position for you!

Playing games was our life back then. Stevie and I were very competitive in everything.We got older and better so our games were more intense, but also more exciting. The strange thing is that I enjoyed the games vastly and was happy for my brother when he won. But afterwards, I felt my well-being threatened, and then my confidence suffered.When I was 10 years old I wanted to be successful at my talents. One day, a light came on in my head. I had to find something Stevie couldn’t do. It would have to be unique in every way. Before long, I got Jimmy Nelson’s record on “How to Become a Ventriloquist (腹语师)” and I practiced faithfully every day. After summer vacation, I did my first show for my class. The response was favorable. I performed for family get-togethers and did shows on a number of occasions to practice my new skill.It isn’t easy learning ventriloquism. The difficult part was developing the voice, because at first, it was soft and hard to hear. I memorized the routines and performed more. With time, I got better responses. The loud laughter was nonstop, in addition to the applause.Four years later my mother purchased professional ventriloquial figure, which I named Freddie O’Sullivan. He was lifelike, with moving eyes, moving eyebrows, and could stick out his tongue. Treating Freddie like a real person enhanced my performance.In college, Freddie was well known. He would tell people that he was the only guy that could sleep in the girl’s dormitory. Over the years, I won many talent awards.One time, an elderly man looked at Freddie attentively and asked him where he got his trousers. The audience nearby had tears in their eyes. I didn’t know what was going on until I was told later the gentleman hadn’t spoken for 20 years.Thanks to my brother, I created a lifetime with Freddie.24.

Columbia University mechanical engineers have designed a 3 - D printer that can produce and cook dishes at the same time with details at the millimeter scale.The design combines a multiwavelength laser (激光) cooker, roughly the size of five smart phones piled together, with a microwave - oven - sized food printer. The system uses various light wavelengths to cook in different ways: a short - waved blue laser goes deep inside meat, for example, while infrared beams (红外线光束) brown the surface. As the device’s robotic arm places fine layers of chicken puree (酱, 糊), a high - powered beam moves over them and cooks the meat — with literally laser - focused precision. Thus, users can achieve perfect results — say, a machine - made burger that varies between rare and well done in a checkerboard pattern.“It gives you a lot more control and customization,” says Jonathan Blutinger, lead author of the paper and a digital - cooking researcher at Columbia. The researchers tested only chicken for this study, but the system can work with other foods as well.Beyond applying diverse materials and presentation patterns, this type of software - controlled setup could someday scan a QR code to automatically prepare dishes tailored to individual eating habits and dietary restrictions, Blutinger says.The new technology is “astonishing”, says Megan Ross, a food scientist who studies 3 - D printing at Ireland’s University College Cork. Ross notes that the design is still at a beginning stage and that many technical challenges remain, such as preventing cross pollution between layers of raw and cooked meat. Still, Ross is impressed by the device’s ability to produce foods outside the field of conventional cooking. “Is this going to be sold in shops everywhere in the next few years No,” she says. “But everyone has to start somewhere.”28. What makes the new design different from a common cooker A. It works automatically. B. It is attached to a printer.C. It cooks the whole of food. D. It can process various materials.29. How does the design work A. By customizing the dishes. B. By accessing 3 - D technology.C. By turning the food upside down. D. By using beams of diverse wavelengths.30. What is the new advantage of the design A. It is more flexible to operate. B. It can process meat.C. It avoids cross food pollution. D. It can be applied to QR code.31. What can we infer about the design from Ross’ words A. It makes a meaningful start. B. It will be well received soon.C. It goes well with technology. D. It is well thought of by the public.【答案】28. B 29. D 30. A 31. A【解析】【导语】本文为一篇说明文,介绍了一款最新设计——可以制作、烹饪菜肴的3D食物打印机。【28题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“The design combines a multiwavelength laser cooker, roughly the size of five smart phones piled together, with a microwave - oven - sized food printer.”(该设计结合了一个多波长的激光炊具,大约有五个智能手机堆在一起的大小,还有一个微波炉大小的食物打印机。)可知,新设计不同于普通的炊具是由于其连接着一台食物打印机。故选B项。【29题详解】细节理解题。根据文章第二段关键句“The system uses various light wavelengths to cook in different ways: a short - waved blue laser goes deep inside meat, for example, while infrared beams brown the surface.”(该系统使用不同的光波波长以不同的方式烹饪:例如,短波蓝色激光深入肉类内部,而红外线光束则使表面变成褐色。)及本段下文内容可知,这款设计通过使用不同波长的光束来工作。故选D项。【30题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Beyond applying diverse materials and presentation patterns, this type of software - controlled setup could someday scan a QR code to automatically prepare dishes tailored to individual eating habits and dietary restrictions, Blutinger says.”(布鲁丁格说,除了应用不同的材料和展示模式外,这种由软件控制的设置有一天可以扫描二维码,根据个人的饮食习惯和饮食限制自动准备菜肴。)可知,这款设计的新优势是,它的操作更灵活。故选A项。【31题详解】推理判断题。根据文章最后一段关键句“Ross notes that the design is still at a beginning stage and that many technical challenges remain, such as preventing cross pollution between layers of raw and cooked meat. Still, Ross is impressed by the device’s ability to produce foods outside the field of conventional cooking. “Is this going to be sold in shops everywhere in the next few years No,” she says. “But everyone has to start somewhere.””( 罗斯指出,这种设计仍处于起步阶段,还存在许多技术挑战,比如防止生肉和熟肉层之间的交叉污染。不过,罗斯对该设备在传统烹饪领域之外生产食物的能力印象深刻。“在接下来的几年里,它会在所有的商店里出售吗?”不,”她说。“但每个人都必须从某个地方开始。”)可知,从Ross的话中,我们可以知道,这款设计是一个有意义的开始。故选A项。DThe two terms nature and nurture have been subjects of comparison since the 16th century. The argument is centered on the question as to whether it is nature or nurture that makes us who we are.Nature provides the starting point for an organism that will interact with nurture, the environment, during the organism’s life. Nature does not just affect an organism during its lifetime, but it also can directly affect the expression of genes in offspring (后代). For the Geneticists, they believe that our lives are entirely determined by genetics, which is nature. An opposing view is that there is no indication that genes (基因) determines one’s personality, rather there is growing evidence that nurture serves as the determining factor in personality development.Nurture refers to the conditions under which living things grow and develop after birth. When applied to human beings, it means how the person is raised, which includes nutrition, education, care, as well as the kind of surroundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.The argument of nature and nurture as to which is more important is necessitated by an attempt to differentiate how much effect genetics has on a person’s development against how easily humans are influenced by one’s environment.While nurture undeniably plays its part on the growth and development of one’s personality, nature dramatically outweighs nurture, for nature can be likened to a foundation. The impact of nurture on the development of persons cannot be totally denied. However, nature is regarded as being of most importance because of the fact that it affords an opportunity and creates a foundation and the basis for the question of nurture to arise at the very first instance. Even without nurture, the nature impact can still stand independently without necessarily causing destruction. More so, even when the nurture impact is successfully effected, it does not remove the genetic characteristics of a person. It therefore stands correctly that nature is that which determines the substance of a person.32. What can we learn from Paragraph 2 A. Nature’s role is supported by additional evidence.B. Personality development is determined by nurture.C. Nature impacts gene expression in later generation.D. Environment shapes personality more than genetics.33. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about A. What nurture means to human beings.B. How living things develop after birth.C. How nurture shapes human development.D. How surroundings influence human beings.34. How does the author stress the greater importance of nature A. By giving examples.B. By making contrast.C. By conducting experiments.D. By citing research data.35. What is the best title for the text A. A Long Story of Nature and NurtureB. A New Research on Nature and NurtureC. Who Can Tell What Makes Who We Are D. Which Is More Important, Nature or Nurture 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. B 35. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。先天和后天这两个术语自16世纪以来一直是比较的主题。文章论述了究竟是先天还是后天造就了我们。【32题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Nature provides the starting point for an organism that will interact with nurture, the environment, during the organism’s life. Nature does not just affect an organism during its lifetime, but it also can directly affect the expression of genes in offspring (后代). (在有机体的一生中,先天为有机体提供了与滋养、环境相互作用的起点。先天不仅会影响一个生物体的一生,还会直接影响其后代的基因表达)”可知,先天影响后代的基因表达。故选C。【33题详解】主旨大意题。根据第三段“Nurture refers to the conditions under which living things grow and develop after birth. When applied to human beings, it means how the person is raised, which includes nutrition, education, care, as well as the kind of surroundings, such as cultural influence, family and friends.(后天指的是生物出生后生长发育的条件。当应用于人类时,它指的是一个人是如何成长的,包括营养、教育、照顾,以及环境的类型,如文化影响、家庭和朋友)”可知,第三段主要讨论了后天对人类意味着什么。故选A。【34题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“While nurture undeniably plays its part on the growth and development of one’s personality, nature dramatically outweighs nurture, for nature can be likened to a foundation. The impact of nurture on the development of persons cannot be totally denied. However, nature is regarded as being of most importance because of the fact that it affords an opportunity and creates a foundation and the basis for the question of nurture to arise at the very first instance.(不可否认,后天培养在一个人的个性成长和发展中起着一定的作用,但先天的作用远远超过后天培养,因为先天可以被比作基础。后天对人的发展的影响是不能完全否认的。然而,先天被认为是最重要的,因为它提供了一个机会,创造了一个基础,为后天问题的出现提供了基础)”可推知,作者通过对比强调了先天的重要性。故选B。【35题详解】主旨大意题。根据第一段“The two terms nature and nurture have been subjects of comparison since the 16th century. The argument is centered on the question as to whether it is nature or nurture that makes us who we are.(先天和后天这两个术语自16世纪以来一直是比较的主题。争论的核心问题是,究竟是先天还是后天造就了我们)”及下文论述可知,文章主要论述了究竟是先天还是后天造就了我们。由此可知,Which Is More Important, Nature or Nurture (先天和后天,哪个更重要?)适合作文章最佳标题。故选D。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。A major benefit of growing your own tomatoes is variety.

I’m home!” John slammed the door and dropped his books on a nearby chair.“Hi, John, home already ” His mom turned around, “Spring is coming, and I am doing our annual spring e and help me, okay ”“Okay, okay,” John agreed reluctantly.They cleaned upstairs, downstairs, inside, outside, until everything was spotless. Exhausted, they sank into the couch. Wearily pointing to Pop-Pop’s chair, which was faded and worn, John’s mom exclaimed, “Oh my! That old chair has got to go. We’ll buy Pop-Pop a new one. Let’s take the chair to the curb (马路边缘). Tomorrow the garbage truck is picking up on our block.”As they attempted to move the chair, Pop-Pop, John’s grandpa, who lived with them since Grandma had died, worked his way through the door. Seeing what was happening, he quickly blocked their way. “Oh, no!” he protested. “You can’t take my chair.”“It’s old. . . It’s worn. . . . ” John’s mom argued, a slight edge to her voice.“No,” Pop-Pop persisted, trying to push his chair back into place.“But Pop, we’ll buy you a new one,” John’s mom tried to persuade the old man.“I don’t want a new one,” Pop-Pop’s voice trembled.“I give up.” John’s mom let go of the chair. “We’ll discuss it tonight when Matt gets home.”Matt, John’s dad, was still at work. With a sigh of relief, the old man sank into his chair and closed his eyes.“Pop-Pop, why won’t you let us get rid of the chair ” John asked when his mother left the room. “It’s so old.”“You don’t understand, John.” Pop-Pop shook his head and said, “I sat in this chair, with your grandma right here, when I asked her to marry me. It was so long ago, but when I sit in this chair and close my eyes I feel she is near.” The old man tenderly stroked the arm of the chair.It’s amazing, John thought, how Pop-Pop can remember things from the past. In the present, he forgets almost everything. John sat down on the floor by Pop-Pop’s feet and listened as the old man went on.注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。That night, however, John’s parents carried the chair out to the curb._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After rescuing the chair from the garbage men, John rushed to find his mom._______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 That night, however, John’s parents carried the chair out to the curb. It was a starless night. Snow fell silently from the black sky and covered Pop-Pop’s chair with a blanket of white. The next morning, when John came downstairs, Pop-Pop stood by the window and looked outside. A tear rolled down his hollow cheek. John followed the old man’s gaze and froze. Snow-covered, the chair stood at the curb out on the street. The clamor of the garbage truck pulling up to the house shocked John into action. He ran outside. “Wait! Don’t take that chair,” he shouted, flailing both arms in the air.After rescuing the chair from the garbage men, John rushed to find his mom. “You can’t throw out his chair, Mom.” John swallowed hard before going on. “This is not just a chair. It has been with Pop-Pop for a very long time and is like a friend.” John’s mom turned and walked slowly towards Pop-Pop. “I’m sorry, Pop-Pop,” she said. “I guess I just didn’t realize how much the chair meant to you. John and I will bring your chair back inside.” They brushed off the snow with their hands and placed the chair next to the fireplace so it could dry. The living room became warm and bright again with this old chair.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了John和妈妈在打扫房间的时候,想把爷爷的旧椅子扔掉,但是遭到了爷爷的拒绝,当约翰问爷爷为什么不扔掉旧椅子时,爷爷告诉他,当年他向约翰奶奶求婚时,他们就坐在这张椅子上,如今当他坐在这张椅子上,闭上眼睛时,他会感觉去世的奶奶就在他身边。【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“然而,那天晚上,约翰的父母把椅子搬到了路边。”可知,第一段可描写爷爷的椅子被扔到路边上时的情况,以及爷爷看到后很伤心,约翰跑出去取回椅子。②由第二段首句内容“约翰从清洁工手中把椅子抢救出来后,赶紧去找他妈妈。”可知,第二段可描写约翰向妈妈说了爷爷为什么不扔掉椅子的原因,妈妈感到抱歉,向爷爷道歉,椅子又被放在了屋里。2.续写线索:把椅子搬到路边——椅子被雪覆盖——爷爷看到很伤心——约翰跑出去取回椅子——找到妈妈解释原因——妈妈道歉——椅子被放在客厅3.词汇激活行为类①眼泪留下:a tear rolled down/a tear trickled down②大喊:shouted/screamed③意识到:realize/be aware of情绪类①悄无声息地:silently/quietly【点睛】[高分句型1] The next morning, when John came downstairs, Pop-Pop stood by the window and looked outside.
