The 44-year-old left London on April 19 and arrived in Nigeria’s commercial center Lagos on Sunday after travelling more than 8,000 miles across 13 countries. He started the impressive journey to raise funds for Rotary International to deal with polio (小儿麻痹症) in his native Nigeria.Accompanied by a dozen bikers for the last stretch of the journey from the Republic of Benin, Adeyanju was welcomed by supporters in Ikeja, in central Lagos. Adeyanju, called “Lion Heart” by fans, won popularity among the public by posting daily pictures with comments about his journey on social media. At every stop along the way, he was greeted by enthusiastic (热情地) supporters.He did face some challenges, like the one in Mali where one of his wheels broke. “I was standing in the middle of the night, alone in a bush, not knowing what to do, without speaking the language,” he said, explaining he had to walk to the nearest village. “Fortunately, the locals helped me.” Not all of the challenges he faced were solved smoothly. “Mauritania, a country in northwest Africa, was ‘terrible’,” he said, after he got robbed of hundreds of euros. “The worst experience,” he added.The former Shell employee self-funded his trip with $ 20,400 in savings, hoping to raise up to $ 48 million for Rotary International. “I have been suffering from a lack of sleep lately because I slept only three to four hours per night. But I feel proud because I finished this challenge,” Adeyanju said just after he arrived, wiping the sweat off his face. Adeyanju added that he is now planning to have a possible cycling trip to Ghana or a bike ride to Israel to help raise more funds. And he has another dream: to climb Mount Qomolangma.24.Why did Adeyanju go on the 41-day trip A.To challenge himself. B.To help people fight polio.C.To connect with more people. D.To advertise Rotary International.25.How did Adeyanju become popular during the journey A.By using the title “Lion Heart”.B.By commenting on other bikers’ journeys.C.By sharing his experiences online.D.By showing his deep love for his hometown.26.What happened to Adeyanju in Mauritania A.He got lost in the bush.B.He met with crime and got robbed.C.He failed to understand the locals.D.He broke his motorbike.27.Which words can best describe Adeyanju A.Caring and determined. B.Reliable and outstanding.C.Generous and brilliant. D.Ambitious and confident.CLanguages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going. When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to becoming farmers, and their languages became more settled and fewer in number, too. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory (强制的) education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely uneven (不均衡). The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages and close to disappear, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia(one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times A.They developed very fast. B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns. D.They were closely connected.29.Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2 A.Difficult. B.Advanced. C.Powerful D.Modern.30.How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present A.About 6,800. B.About 3,400. C.About 2,400. D.About 1,200.31.What is the main idea of the text A.New languages will be created. B.People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages. D.Geography determines language evolution.DGreat whites, the largest predatory(捕食性的)sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California’s central coast. That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna’s drone camera. It was a shark pup(幼崽)unlike any they’d ever seen.“We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)from the body as it was swimming,” Sternes said. “I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer.”These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal. What Gauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white.Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea.Great whites are listed as an international endangered species. “Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.32.What do we know about what appeared on Carlo s Gauna’s camera A.It is rare in the world. B.It is tough to identify.C.It is not open to the public. D.It is unbelievable to scientists.33.What does the white shark pup look like A.Pure gray. B.White only on the bottom.C.Gray on the top. D.Pure white.34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about A.How great white females give birth to pups.B.How the authors prove they saw a baby shark.C.Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup.D.Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition.35.What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed A.Helping white sharks to stop breeding.B.Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats.C.Listing white sharks as endangered species.D.Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters.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。Humor: An Essential Life SkillMark Twain said, “Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.” He’s certainly not wrong. Humor may very well be the great thing. 36Having a good sense of humor is possibly one of the best things you can do for your physical fitness. 37 Besides, it can improve your cardiovascular (心血管的) health.38 Study has shown that individuals who score highly in humor have higher self-respect, greater self-competence, and perform better in social interaction. They tend to get along well with others and are more often associated with better overall health.Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humor. 39 Researchers in Austria discovered that those who have a sense of humor have higher verbal (言语的) and nonverbal intelligence than their less humorous peers, because it takes both cognitive (认知的) and emotional abilities to process andproduce humor.The benefits of humor are so great that universities like Stanford are offering business courses on humor in the workplace. 40 Students will be taught how to “better achieve business goals and develop stronger bonds”. It doesn’t stop there, though. Researchers believe humor has the power to actually “make change in the world”.A.Students will be strictly evaluated.B.These courses have specific goals.C.And your mental health benefits as well.D.It touches upon nearly every aspect of life.E.Apart from that, humor also improves your overall quality of life.F.Research has shown that laughter can relieve the tension in your muscles.G.Indeed, studies have found an association between humor and intelligence.第三部分 语言运用(共两节,满分30分)第一节(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文, 从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Two hundred years ago the English poet William Wordsworth wrote I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud, a poem that was 41 when he came across a field of daffodils (水仙花).

That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad.And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again.A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this ” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable.A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.”“I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler.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。After school, I returned home and dragged to my room.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. The guilt of keeping Tyler's bike hidden behind thegarage weighed heavily on me. I couldn't enjoy having the bike while knowing that it rightfully belonged to someone else. I wanted to make things right. So I went to my mother and told her what had happened. My mother smiled and tapped me on the shoulder, gently saying, “I believe you have known what you should do to the bike.” “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” My heart raced with a mix of nervousness and determination. I walked up to knock the door. “Hey Tyler, I'm really sorry that I hid it and caused you trouble.” To my great surprise, he did not blame. What I saw was a smile slowly spread across his face. I knew exactly what that smile meant -- forgiveness for me. From that day on, the purple BMX Mongoose bike was no longer important to me. What mattered was the friendship I had formed with Tyler, which also taught me the important values like honesty.【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了11岁的作者一直梦想拥有一辆紫色自行车,但他的父母不同意买给他。后来,他偶然发现了一辆被遗弃的紫色自行车,偷偷把它藏了起来,这辆自行车其实属于另一个孩子Tyler。最后,作者向母亲坦白了实情,并决定归还自行车。Tyler原谅了他,并建立了真诚的友谊。【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“放学后,我回到家,拖着沉重的步子回到我的房间。”可知,第一段可描写作者回到家后把自己关在房间里,深感愧疚,并且主动向妈妈坦白了事实。②由第二段首句内容““我知道Tyler的家,”妈妈说。“我开车送你去。””可知,第二段可描写作者主动跟Tyler道歉,得到了Tyler的原谅,作者如释重负,并且和Tyler成为朋友,以及作者最终的领悟。2.续写线索:深感愧疚——告知真相——归还车子——道歉——原谅——成为朋友——感悟3.词汇激活行为类①重压:weigh on sb/press on sb②.拍:tap/pat③.绽开笑容:a smile spread across one’s face/a smile shines on one’s face情绪类①.愧疚/羞愧:guilt/shame②.惊讶:surprise/amazement【点睛】[高分句型1].

When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to becoming farmers, and their languages became more settled and fewer in number, too. In recent centuries, trade, industrialization, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory (强制的) education, especially globalization and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.At present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution (分布) of these languages is hugely uneven (不均衡). The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the America about 1,000; Africa 2,400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of 6,800 languages and close to disappear, with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon(eight remaining speakers), Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States (two or three) or Wadjigu in Australia(one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28.What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times A.They developed very fast. B.They were large in number.C.They had similar patterns. D.They were closely connected.29.Which of the following best explains “dominant” underlined in Paragraph 2 A.Difficult. B.Advanced. C.Powerful D.Modern.30.How many languages are spoken by less than 6,000 people at present A.About 6,800. B.About 3,400. C.About 2,400. D.About 1,200.31.What is the main idea of the text A.New languages will be created. B.People’s lifestyles are reflected in languages.C.Human development results in fewer languages. D.Geography determines language evolution.【答案】28.B 29.C 30.B 31.C【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是语言已经千百年的历史,不断地出现和消失,但最近新出现的语言越来越少,而消失地越来越多,随着社会和工业化的发展,语言消失地越来越快。28.推理判断题。根据第一段“When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers, small, tightly connected groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other. Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.(当世界上还居住着狩猎采集者的时候,小而紧密联系的群体发展出了自己独立的语言模式。一些语言专家认为,1万年前,当世界上只有500万到1000万人的时候,他们大概说着1.2万种语言)”可推知,狩猎采集时代的语言数量很大。故选B。29.词句猜测题。根据上文“all have caused many languages to disappear(所有这些导致了很多语言的消失)”和划线词后文“languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over”以及常识可知,现在占据统治地位的语言有英语、西班牙语和汉语,故划线词dominant意为“统治的,强大的”,故选C。30.细节理解题。根据第三段“At present, the world has about 6,800 languages.(目前,世界上大约有6800种语言)”及“The median number (中位数) of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.(使用这种语言的人中位数仅为6000人,这意味着世界上一半的语言的使用者少于6000人)”可知,目前不到6000人说的语言有6800*1/2=3400,故选B。31.主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段“Languages have been coming and going for thousands of years, but in recent times there has been less coming and a lot more going.(语言的出现和消失已经有几千年的历史了,但最近出现的语言越来越少,而消失的语言却越来越多)”可知,文章主要说明了人类的发展导致了更少的语言,故选C。DGreat whites, the largest predatory(捕食性的)sharks in the world with the most fatal attacks on humans, are tough to imagine as newborn babies. That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.Wildlife filmmaker Carlos Gauna and UC Riverside biology doctoral student Phillip Sternes were scanning the waters for sharks on July 9, 2023, near Santa Barbara on California’s central coast. That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna’s drone camera. It was a shark pup(幼崽)unlike any they’d ever seen.“We enlarged the images, put them in slow motion, and realized the white layer was being shed(脱落)from the body as it was swimming,” Sternes said. “I believe it was a newborn white shark shedding its embryonic layer.”These observations are documented in a new paper in the Environmental Biology of Fishes journal. WhatGauna and Sternes observed could help solve the longstanding mystery of great white birthing habits. This may well be the first evidence we have of a pup in the wild. Great whites, referred to only as white sharks by scientists, are gray on the top and white on the bottom. But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white.Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea.Great whites are listed as an international endangered species. “Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.32.What do we know about what appeared on Carlo s Gauna’s camera A.It is rare in the world. B.It is tough to identify.C.It is not open to the public. D.It is unbelievable to scientists.33.What does the white shark pup look like A.Pure gray. B.White only on the bottom.C.Gray on the top. D.Pure white.34.What is paragraph 5 mainly about A.How great white females give birth to pups.B.How the authors prove they saw a baby shark.C.Why the authors believe they saw a newborn shark pup.D.Why the authors think the white layer is a skin condition.35.What does Sternes hope for if their assumption is confirmed A.Helping white sharks to stop breeding.B.Using laws to protect shark pups and their habitats.C.Listing white sharks as endangered species.D.Further study to confirm white sharks breeding waters.【答案】32.A 33.D 34.C 35.B【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了野生动物电影制片人Carlos Gauna和生物学家Phillip Sternes在加州海岸首次拍摄到疑似新生大白鲨脱去胚胎层的珍贵画面,这一发现可能揭示了大白鲨繁殖习惯的奥秘,为长期以来关于大白鲨出生地的推测提供了首个野外证据。32.细节理解题。根据文章第一段“That is partially because no one has seen one in the wild, it seems, until now.(这在一定程度上是因为到目前为止,似乎还没有人在野外见过这种动物)”及第二段“That day, something exciting appeared on the viewfinder of Gauna’s drone camera. It was a shark pup unlike any they’d ever seen.(那天,Gauna的无人机摄像机取景器中出现了令人兴奋的一幕。那是一条他们从未见过的鲨鱼幼崽)”可知,镜头中出现的鲨鱼幼崽在世界上是罕见的。故选A。33.细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But this roughly 5-foot-long shark was pure white.(但这只约5英尺长的鲨鱼全身纯白)”可知,白鲨幼崽看起来像纯白的。故选D。34.主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Though the paper authors acknowledge it is possible that the white layer the shark shed could have been a skin condition, the two believe what they saw was in fact a newborn great white. First, great white females give birth to live pups. A second reason is the presence of large, likely pregnant great whites in this location. Finally, this location off the coast of central California has long been proposed as a birthing location for great whites. Many scholars believe great whites are born farther out at sea.(尽管论文作者承认鲨鱼脱落的白色层可能是皮肤状况造成的,但两人认为他们看到的实际上是一只新生的大白鲨。首先,大白雌性产下活的幼崽。第二个原因是这个地方有可能怀孕的大白鲨。最后,这个位于加利福尼亚州中部海岸的地方长期以来一直被认为是大白鲨的出生地。许多学者认为大白鲨出生在更远的海域)”可知,这一段主要讲述为什么作者认为他们看到了一只新生的鲨鱼幼崽。故选C。35.细节理解题。根据文章最后一段““Further research is needed to confirm these waters are indeed a great white breeding ground. But if it does, we would want lawmakers to step in and protect these waters to help white sharks keep thriving,” Sternes said.(“需要进一步的研究来确认这些水域确实为大白鲨的繁殖地。但如果确定是,我们将希望立法者介入保护这些水域,帮助大白鲨继续繁盛。”Sternes说道)”可知,如果他们的假设得到证实,Sternes希望利用法律保护鲨鱼幼崽及其栖息地。故选B。第二节(共5小题:每小题2. 5分, 满分12. 5分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Humor: An Essential Life SkillMark Twain said, “Humor is the great thing, the saving thing. The minute it crops up, all our irritations slip away, and a sunny spirit takes their place.” He’s certainly not wrong.

They tend to get along well with others and are more often associated with better overall health.Albert Einstein owed his brilliant mind to having a child-like sense of humor. 39 Researchers in Austria discovered that those who have a sense of humor have higher verbal (言语的) and nonverbal intelligence than their less humorous peers, because it takes both cognitive (认知的) and emotional abilities to process and produce humor.The benefits of humor are so great that universities like Stanford are offering business courses on humor in the workplace. 40 Students will be taught how to “better achieve business goals and develop stronger bonds”. It doesn’t stop there, though. Researchers believe humor has the power to actually “make change in the world”.A.Students will be strictly evaluated.B.These courses have specific goals.C.And your mental health benefits as well.D.It touches upon nearly every aspect of life.E.Apart from that, humor also improves your overall quality of life.F.Research has shown that laughter can relieve the tension in your muscles.G.Indeed, studies have found an association between humor and intelligence.【答案】36.D 37.F 38.E 39.G 40.B【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了幽默是一项基本的生活技能,对我们生活的方方面面都有好处。36.前文“Humor may very well be the great thing.(幽默很可能是一件很棒的事情)”提到了幽默的好处,后文每个段落介绍了幽默具体的好处,D项“It touches upon nearly every aspect of life.(它几乎涉及生活的方方面面)”符合语境,引起后文好处的具体表现。故选D。37. 前文“Having a good sense of humor is possibly one of the best things you can do for your physical fitness.(拥有良好的幽默感可能是你能为身体健康做的最好的事情之一)”介绍了幽默对身体健康的好处,F项“Research has shown that laughter can relieve the tension in your muscles.(研究表明笑可以缓解肌肉的紧张)”符合语境,说明了具体的对健康的好处。故选F。38.空处位于段首,是段落主旨句,需概括段落内容。后文“Study has shown that individuals who score highlyin humor have higher self-respect, greater self-competence, and perform better in social interaction.

It expresses a basic spirit of early English Romanticism.What makes this poem a (n) 42 of Romantic thinking It isn’t that Wordsworth chooses to write about a natural 43 : it is the way he describes the scene as if it had human 44 . For him, 45 is not only a neutral (无感彩的) mixture of scenery, colors, plants, rocks, soil, water and air. It is a living force that feels joy and sadness and even tries to 46 us human beings and show us the beauty of life.Wordsworth’s home is now one of the most popular 47 in the Lake District. You can go on a tour of the garden where wild flowers still survive now regardless of the change of the 48 . The place, where Wordsworth saw the daffodils, is at the southernmost end of the lake.

That was the day my eleven-year-old eyes first saw the purple BMX Mongoose bike. From that day on, all I could think about was that bike. I even drew pictures of the bike in class. Every evening afterward, at five thirty, I eagerly went along with Mom to get Dad.And every day I told my parents, “I want that bike!” But they disagreed and replied that I had already had a perfectly good bike at home. I’d argue it was old and ugly, thinking that my happiness depended on that purple bike. Days later, I found the store had sold that bike. I knew I’d never be happy again.A week later, returning home from school, I tripped over something. Lying in the weeds near a river and some wooded lots, was a bike — the exact bike from the store. “Hey, whose bike is this ” I shouted, scanning the area. No one replied, and there was no one in sight. Maybe its owner didn’t want it any longer. I couldn’t leave it lying in the weeds. So I took it home and hid it behind the garage. Every day after school, I sat there, admiring it. But I didn’t feel like riding and didn’t feel as happy as I had thought. Thinking about the bike made my stomach tighten and uncomfortable.A few days later, during lunch at school, my friend said, “Did you hear about Tyler, in the other fifth-grade class He lost his new purple BMX Mongoose bike he had just gotten for his birthday. He left it by a river while playing in the woods. It got dark, and he couldn’t find it.”“I’d never go off and leave a new bike like that. He doesn’t deserve to have that bike,” I replied. My friend added, “Kids say he’s nice. And they say Tyler is upset because his dad worked overtime to buy the bike for him.” For the rest of the day, I couldn’t stop thinking about Tyler.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。After school, I returned home and dragged to my room.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________“I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】 After school, I returned home and dragged to my room. The guilt of keeping Tyler's bike hidden behind the garage weighed heavily on me. I couldn't enjoy having the bike while knowing that it rightfully belonged to someone else. I wanted to make things right. So I went to my mother and told her what had happened. My mother smiled and tapped me on the shoulder, gently saying, “I believe you have known what you should do to the bike.” “I know Tyler’s house,” Mom said. “I’ll drive you there.” My heart raced with a mix of nervousness and determination. I walked up to knock the door. “Hey Tyler, I'm really sorry that I hid it and caused you trouble.” To my great surprise, he did not blame. What I saw was a smile slowly spread across his face. I knew exactly what that smile meant -- forgiveness for me. From that day on, the purple BMX Mongoose bike was no longer important to me. What mattered was the friendship I had formed with Tyler, which also taught me the important values like honesty.【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了11岁的作者一直梦想拥有一辆紫色自行车,但他的父母不同意买给他。后来,他偶然发现了一辆被遗弃的紫色自行车,偷偷把它藏了起来,这辆自行车其实属于另一个孩子Tyler。最后,作者向母亲坦白了实情,并决定归还自行车。Tyler原谅了他,并建立了真诚的友谊。【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“放学后,我回到家,拖着沉重的步子回到我的房间。”可知,第一段可描写作者回到家后把自己关在房间里,深感愧疚,并且主动向妈妈坦白了事实。②由第二段首句内容““我知道Tyler的家,”妈妈说。“我开车送你去。””可知,第二段可描写作者主动跟Tyler道歉,得到了Tyler的原谅,作者如释重负,并且和Tyler成为朋友,以及作者最终的领悟。2.续写线索:深感愧疚——告知真相——归还车子——道歉——原谅——成为朋友——感悟3.词汇激活行为类①重压:weigh on sb/press on sb②.拍:tap/pat③.绽开笑容:a smile spread across one’s face/a smile shines on one’s face情绪类①.愧疚/羞愧:guilt/shame②.惊讶:surprise/amazement【点睛】[高分句型1].
