The Best Caves in The World
Hang Son Doong, Vietnam
Natural caves don't come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn't really do justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites （钟乳石） here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to
80 metres.
Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
Glowworms （萤火虫） are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on New Zealand's North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-creative but completely acceptable "Glowworm Caves" nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more
thrilling.
Mammoth Cave, the USA
If you have certain expectations from somewhere called "Mammoth Cave", that is entirely understandable. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world's longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder. That's twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn't unusual for the USA to go all out on
such things.
Reed Flute （芦笛） Cave, China
Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave's walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it
a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.
21．What is special about Hang Son Doong
A．It was once a base of a factory.
B．It is the deepest cave in the world.
C．It has the highest stalactites in the world.
D．It owns the largest cross-section in the world.
22．Which of the following can be much easier to enter
A．Hang Son Doong. B．Waitomo Caves.
C．Mammoth Cave. D．Reed Flute Cave.
23．Which country probably has the longest cave system in the world
A．Vietnam. B．New Zealand.
C．The USA. D．China.

When Allie and Chloe Knuth decided to both attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the twins from Green Bay were excited to share a campus but also determined to have their own distinct experiences and follow their own academic paths.
Four years later—as they graduate together this month—the twins say things worked out even better than they could have expected. UW-Eau Claire's campus is small enough that their lives sometimes overlap（重叠）, yet big enough that each of them has had room to stretch and grow as individuals.
"It means a lot to graduate alongside each other and I wouldn't want it any other way," says Chloe, who will earn her degree in international business and management with certificates in Mandarin Chinese and leadership studies. "Graduating college is a momentous experience and I love that I will be walking with my sister."
Allie, who will graduate with a degree in biology and a certificate in Chinese language, originally planned to go to UW-Madison. However, as college neared, Allie decided to go to UW-Eau Claire as well, a decision Chloe supported. "I didn't want to be without my twin sister," Allie says of her decision. "It means a great deal to be graduating with my sister because she has always been there for me."
They shared some experiences and accomplishments during their college careers. For example, they both completed certificates in Chinese. As Asian Americans, it was important for them to learn more about Chinese language and culture.
Allie and Chloe also are active in the University Honors Program, a program where they were able to explore interesting topics that fell outside their academic program. "This program is not just something to put on my resume; it had a vast positive influence on my college experience," says Allie. Chloe and Allie contributed a great deal to the Honors program, Dr. Heather Fielding says. They invested time and effort into helping other students, especially new students, to adapt to college and develop a sense of belonging, she says.
24．What did Allie and Chloe Knuth expect in the university
A．Both earned genuine admiration of their colleagues.
B．Both were enormously trained physically and mentally.
C．Both enhanced their academy and experience individually.
D．Both received support and encouragement from the university.
25．Which of the following can best describe Allie and Chloe Knuth
A．Cautious and unconcerned. B．Optimistic and courageous.
C．Considerate and enthusiastic. D．Demanding and generous.
26．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The twins benefited a lot from the program.
B．The twins focused on the academic program.
C．The twins won their new jobs through the program.
D．The twins regretted getting involved in the program.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．The twins developed a sense of belongings through the program.
B．The twins earned certificates in some majors in the same university.
C．University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire offered scholarship for the twins.
D．Graduating twins valued common experiences to follow their own paths.

Feel exhausted after a party Rather see one close friend than a group of acquaintances Enjoy your own company In our world, that makes you an introvert （内向的人）. However, there's another possible explanation — vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort.
If you are closer to your peers, then you are peer attached. We live in a peer-oriented world. We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their friends, thinking it is the natural way of things.
Result Generations often feel worlds apart. We use different language, dress, and technology apps. Even if multiple generations are invited to the same party, the kids go to the basement playroom while the parents stay upstairs.
Vertically-attached individuals can feel out of place in this context, demonstrating the traces of introversion. Will they be exhausted after a party with same-aged acquaintances Absolutely. Would they rather spend time with one close friend Sure. Do they enjoy alone time Yes, more than they enjoy time fitting in with peers.
It's normal that many people need alone time to recharge. However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives. They claim that their family attachments arise from their loved ones being stuck with them.
If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm.
28．Who is vertically attached according to the text
A．Mike, who feels at ease with his teachers.
B．Maggie, who enjoys film time alone at weekends.
C．Tom, who feels burnt out after a family get-together.
D．Lisa, who often turns to her dad when things are hard.
29．What is the popular belief among parents
A．Younger generations should be self-disciplined.
B．Being sociable is a desired quality for their children.
C．Their children need more friends than they themselves do.
D．Different generations should have different circles of acquaintances.
30．What advice is given to vertically-attached people
A．Be that as it may, just leave it as it is.
B．Never underestimate your inner power.
C．Hang out more with friends and adjust to it.
D．Treat others the way you want to be treated.
31．What is the author's attitude towards vertically-attached people
A．Intolerant. B．Objective. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical.
（2023高二上·金牛月考）阅读理解
Today's Brussels sprouts （孢子甘蓝） taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders （植物育种家） for the change. Modern breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts' reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields （产量）, to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven't fared as well. That's because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. "There's never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques," says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glucosinolates. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances （推荐量） of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. "Don't waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better," said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. "Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat."
32．Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A．To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B．To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts.
C．To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts.
D．To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts.
33．What does the underlined word "fared" in paragraph 3 mean
A．Profited. B．Emerged. C．Survived. D．Succeeded.
34．What can we learn from Susan Brown's words in paragraph 4
A．Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming.
B．Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species.
C．Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology.
D．Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need no further improvement.
35．Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Harry Klee
A．Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits.
B．Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people.
C．Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits.
D．Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits.
四、第二部分 阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
（2023高二上·金牛月考）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。
With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious. 　36． 　 Is it right Maybe not.
Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces （强化） the idea that there's no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do
is look to green technology to work its magic. 　37． 　
One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the mid-century. 　38． 　 Techno-optimism has led many to believe that if everyone just switched to driving electric vehicles, we would be making incredible steps towards sustainability. However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce
enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable.
　39． 　 Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.
Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. 　40． 　 It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.
A. So where should we look for answers instead
B. The modern world's simple solution is technology.
C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce.
D. Is it a trap that many people have fallen into in recent years
E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold.
F. Despite any technology, we as a whole are not living sustainably.
G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles.

"Wanted: Violin. Can't pay much. Call ..."
I rarely read classified advertisements. So why did I notice that I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too,
had wanted a violin, but we didn't have the money.
When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn't wait
any longer to ask, "Daddy, may I have a violin of my own " Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him pray in our family devotions, " ...Mary wants her own violin."
One evening we all sat around the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, "We'll be driving to Columbus."
The day finally arrived. After we got there Mr Finkle, a tall man older than Daddy, opened the door. "Come in!" he and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once. He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surge like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought. "Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It's a good violin. Mary should be able to make a beautiful music with it." Then he handed the
violin to me.
I noticed the tears in Daddy's eyes as I finally comprehended. It was mine! I stroked the violin gently. The wood was a golden brown that seemed to warm in the light. "It's beautiful." I said, barely breathing. I knew Daddy's prayer and mine had been answered. Back home I practised daily, feeling no tiredness.
When I was ready to join the school orchestra（管弦乐队） , I trembled with excitement. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly in the audience at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the world to admire. The years seemed to run more swiftly then. I packed my violin in its case and stepped into the grown-up world. Nurse's training, marriage, working, bringing up four daughters filled my years. Yet none of my children cared about the violin.
注意：1. 续写字数应为 80 词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I put my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了垂直依恋类型人格。在当今以同龄人为主导的世界中，人们往往认为拥有大量朋友意味着适应良好，而垂直依恋的人在这种环境中可能会感到不安，被贴上内向的标签。然而，文章强调，无论依恋方式如何，每个人都有自己独特的关系和情感需求，应该对自己的依恋方式有信心。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
28．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"However, there's another possible explanation — vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort."然而，还有另一种可能的解释——垂直依恋。如果你与父母和家庭成员的关系比与同龄人的关系更近，你是垂直依恋型的，这意味着你更依赖家庭来获得安慰。可知，垂直依恋类型的人更依赖父母和家庭成员。可推知，在遇到困难的时候经常向父亲求助的Lisa很可能属于垂直依恋类型。故选D。

30．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm."如果你感到这些不安全感，要知道你没有任何问题，你没有错过任何东西。你的依恋类型与你所处的文化不同。对你所拥有的人际关系的强度要有信心，无论是与感觉更像最好朋友的母亲，还是与你可以分享任何事情的祖母。即使它们看起来与文化规范不同，但它们是有意义的、丰富的关系。可知，作者建议垂直依恋型的人要正确看待自己的人际关系，要有信心。可推知，作者会建议"不管怎样，让它顺其自然"。故选A。
31．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives."然而，垂直依恋型的人通常给自己贴上内向的标签。别人有更多的朋友，过着更富裕的生活，他们感到不安全；以及最后一段中的"If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm."如果你感到这些不安全感，要知道你没有任何问题，你没有错过任何东西。你的依恋类型与你所处的文化不同。对你所拥有的人际关系的强度要有信心，无论是与感觉更像最好朋友的母亲，还是与你可以分享任何事情的祖母。即使它们看起来与文化规范不同，但它们是有意义的、丰富的关系。可知，作者在文中分析了垂直依恋类型的问题，但同时也说明垂直依恋并没有错，要自信面对。可推知，作者对其持客观态度。故选B。

33．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish."然后，他们将这些美味但产量低的植物与产量高的个体杂交，直到找到一种能长出大量美味嫩芽的品种，把这种蔬菜从一颗苦药丸变成了一道受欢迎的菜；以及第三段中的"That's because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored. "这是因为大多数育种决定都有利于蔬菜种植者的植物性状，而不是吃蔬菜的人。例如，抗病性可能是目前大多数育种计划的主要焦点，因为这阻碍了农民种植作物。蔬菜的味道被忽略了。可推知，上文提到种植老球芽甘蓝种子是为了寻找不那么苦的抱子甘蓝，后文则说蔬菜的味道被忽略了可知其他的蔬菜没有成功。可推断划线词 fared 意思是"成功"。故选D。
34．考查推理判断。根据第四段"People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. ‘There's never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,' says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University. "然而，人们现在开始对蔬菜的味道感兴趣，这在一定程度上要归功于新的基因技术，如基因剪切技术CRISPR和DNA测序，这些技术足够便宜，可以广泛使用。康奈尔大学的苹果育种专家苏珊 布朗表示："现在是水果育种或蔬菜育种的最佳时机，因为我们有更多的工具和技术。"可推知，苏珊·布朗的话表明水果和蔬菜育种技术正在蓬勃发展。故选A。
35．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"‘Don't waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,' said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. ‘Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.'" "不要浪费时间谈论如何教育人们吃得更好，"专门研究番茄育种的教授Harry Klee说。"只要给他们提供味道更好、他们想吃的产品就行了。"可知，根据Harry Klee的说法，让人们多吃水果和蔬菜的最好方法是提高蔬菜和水果的味道。故选A。

This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there's no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic."当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。它可以被定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题。这个定义强化了这样一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式。社会所需要做的就是期待绿色技术发挥其魔力。可知，上文提到了"没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式"这种观点，由此推知，下文应对这种观点进行评价。E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold. "不幸的是，这是一个极其危险的观点"承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
38．根据空前"One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the mid-century."电动汽车就是这种乐观误解的最好例子之一。尽管电动汽车被高度认为是一种环保的出行方式，但它并不是未来交通的终点。电动汽车中的电池使用的化学元素到本世纪中叶可能会出现短缺。可知，上文提到了电动汽车的弊端。结合本段主要谈论"乐观误解"推知，空处应继续对电动汽车的弊端进行陈述。C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce. "此外，它们的生产更耗能"符合语境，故选C。
39．根据空后"Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars, Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions."投资公共交通，远离个人拥有的车辆。生产更少的汽车，改善旧电池的回收利用做法。我们寻求的解决方案不应该植根于新技术，而应该改变我们社会的运作方式。可知，作者认为我们应该改变社会的运作方式，这才是解决气候问题的办法。A. So where should we look for answers instead "那么，我们应该在哪里寻找答案呢？"引出本段内容，下文是对该问题的回答，符合语境，故选A。
40．根据空前"Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints."技术乐观主义过于强调技术，而对我们现在能做的事情却不够重视。不幸的是，人们似乎喜欢技术乐观主义所描绘的画面；以及空后"It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. "重要的是要理解，当我们将这些技术视为使我们当前的生活方式环保的一种方式时，问题就开始了。可知，人们似乎更喜欢依靠技术解决问题，当我们把技术视为当前的环保生活方式时，问题就开始了。可推知，要解决气候问题，不能只依靠技术，关键是要从很大程度上改变我们的生活方式。G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles."然而，事实是，我们需要广泛改变我们的生活方式"符合语境。故选G。

77．【答案】One possible version:
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. Laying the paper aside, I went to find my violin. And I dialed the number. Later that afternoon, an old car stopped in my driveway. A man in his thirties with a young girl knocked on the door. "I've been praying someone would answer my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so badly." He said, "How much are you asking " "Seven dollars," I said. I handed the case to the girl. She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun. Then she threw her arms round her smiling father.
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. Determined to pass on the gift, I reached out to the advertiser. A father and his little son arrived to claim the violin, gratitude lighting up their faces. As I handed over the instrument, I felt joy, knowing I had found it a loving home, just as someone had done for me years ago. At that moment, I realized the beautiful cycle of kindness, passing on the gift of music and warmth, just as it had been bestowed upon me.
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. In the spirit of goodwill, I contacted the advertiser and offered my violin for the modest sum of 7 dollars. The next day, a mother and her daughter eagerly claimed the instrument. As I handed it over, the mother's eyes glistened with gratitude. "I can't believe we found a violin for our daughter at such a price," she exclaimed. I smiled, understanding that the true value of the exchange wasn't measured in dollars but in the shared joy of music. The violin, once mine, now embarked on a new chapter, playing melodies of hope and harmony for a mother and daughter to cherish.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了一则求购小提琴的广告引起了作者的注意，并勾起了她对小时候的回忆。那时，作者家里经济困难，父亲没有钱购买作者一直渴望拥有的小提琴，最后在父亲朋友的帮助下，作者拥有了自己的小提琴。续写部分开头是：我努力让思绪回到现实，接着又读了一遍广告。显然接下来的内容应该是作者受到广告内容的打动，决心将自己的小提琴送给需要的人。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：范文一： Laying the paper aside, I went to find my violin.运用了现在分词作状语； I've been praying someone would answer my advertisement. 运用了宾语从句；She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun. 运用了时间状语从句。
范文二：Determined to pass on the gift, I reached out to the advertiser. 运用了形容词作状语； A father and his little son arrived to claim the violin, gratitude lighting up their faces. 运用了独立主格结构；As I handed over the instrument, I felt joy, knowing I had found it a loving home, just as someone had done for me years ago. 运用了时间状语从句，现在分词作状语，宾语从句，方式状语从句；At that moment, I realized the beautiful cycle of kindness, passing on the gift of 四川省成都市金牛区重点中学校2023-2024学年高二上学期12月月考英语试题

（2023高二上·金牛月考）阅读理解
The Best Caves in The World
Hang Son Doong, Vietnam
Natural caves don't come much larger than Hang Son Doong, close to the border between Laos and Vietnam. This cave possesses the largest cross-section of any known cave on the planet, a vast area that is difficult to describe. Supposedly, a Boeing 747 could fly through without damaging its wings, but that doesn't really do justice to the vastness of Hang Son Doong. The stalactites （钟乳石） here are pretty massive too, with some reaching up to
80 metres.
Waitomo Caves, New Zealand
Glowworms （萤火虫） are there, as far as the eye can see. Okay, not literally, but the Waitomo Cave system on New Zealand's North Island is best-known for the fluorescent fauna that light up the walls, giving it the not-particularly-creative but completely acceptable "Glowworm Caves" nickname. They are more accessible than other caves on this list, with rafting and adventure tours available to those looking for something a little more
thrilling.
Mammoth Cave, the USA
If you have certain expectations from somewhere called "Mammoth Cave", that is entirely understandable. Mammoth Cave in Kentucky is the world's longest known cave system, an incredible 420 miles of underground wonder. That's twice as long as the next longest, by the way, although it isn't unusual for the USA to go all out on
such things.
Reed Flute （芦笛） Cave, China
Named after the reeds that grow outside, which are used to make flutes, obviously, the Reed Flute Cave's walls are covered with inscriptions from centuries gone by—if evidence was needed that people have been paying attention to this place for a long old time. The inside part of the cave is also lit up by multicoloured lights, giving it
a real otherworldly theme that adds weight to the nickname.
21．What is special about Hang Son Doong
A．It was once a base of a factory.
B．It is the deepest cave in the world.
C．It has the highest stalactites in the world.
D．It owns the largest cross-section in the world.
22．Which of the following can be much easier to enter
A．Hang Son Doong. B．Waitomo Caves.
C．Mammoth Cave. D．Reed Flute Cave.
23．Which country probably has the longest cave system in the world
A．Vietnam. B．New Zealand.
C．The USA. D．China.

When Allie and Chloe Knuth decided to both attend the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, the twins from Green Bay were excited to share a campus but also determined to have their own distinct experiences and follow their own academic paths.
Four years later—as they graduate together this month—the twins say things worked out even better than they could have expected. UW-Eau Claire's campus is small enough that their lives sometimes overlap（重叠）, yet big enough that each of them has had room to stretch and grow as individuals.
"It means a lot to graduate alongside each other and I wouldn't want it any other way," says Chloe, who will earn her degree in international business and management with certificates in Mandarin Chinese and leadership studies. "Graduating college is a momentous experience and I love that I will be walking with my sister."
Allie, who will graduate with a degree in biology and a certificate in Chinese language, originally planned to go to UW-Madison. However, as college neared, Allie decided to go to UW-Eau Claire as well, a decision Chloe supported. "I didn't want to be without my twin sister," Allie says of her decision. "It means a great deal to be graduating with my sister because she has always been there for me."
They shared some experiences and accomplishments during their college careers. For example, they both completed certificates in Chinese. As Asian Americans, it was important for them to learn more about Chinese language and culture.
Allie and Chloe also are active in the University Honors Program, a program where they were able to explore interesting topics that fell outside their academic program. "This program is not just something to put on my resume; it had a vast positive influence on my college experience," says Allie. Chloe and Allie contributed a great deal to the Honors program, Dr. Heather Fielding says. They invested time and effort into helping other students, especially new students, to adapt to college and develop a sense of belonging, she says.
24．What did Allie and Chloe Knuth expect in the university
A．Both earned genuine admiration of their colleagues.
B．Both were enormously trained physically and mentally.
C．Both enhanced their academy and experience individually.
D．Both received support and encouragement from the university.
25．Which of the following can best describe Allie and Chloe Knuth
A．Cautious and unconcerned. B．Optimistic and courageous.
C．Considerate and enthusiastic. D．Demanding and generous.
26．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．The twins benefited a lot from the program.
B．The twins focused on the academic program.
C．The twins won their new jobs through the program.
D．The twins regretted getting involved in the program.
27．What is the text mainly about
A．The twins developed a sense of belongings through the program.

Feel exhausted after a party Rather see one close friend than a group of acquaintances Enjoy your own company In our world, that makes you an introvert （内向的人）. However, there's another possible explanation — vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort.
If you are closer to your peers, then you are peer attached. We live in a peer-oriented world. We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their friends, thinking it is the natural way of things.
Result Generations often feel worlds apart. We use different language, dress, and technology apps. Even if multiple generations are invited to the same party, the kids go to the basement playroom while the parents stay upstairs.
Vertically-attached individuals can feel out of place in this context, demonstrating the traces of introversion. Will they be exhausted after a party with same-aged acquaintances Absolutely. Would they rather spend time with one close friend Sure. Do they enjoy alone time Yes, more than they enjoy time fitting in with peers.
It's normal that many people need alone time to recharge. However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives. They claim that their family attachments arise from their loved ones being stuck with them.
If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm.
28．Who is vertically attached according to the text
A．Mike, who feels at ease with his teachers.
B．Maggie, who enjoys film time alone at weekends.
C．Tom, who feels burnt out after a family get-together.
D．Lisa, who often turns to her dad when things are hard.
29．What is the popular belief among parents
A．Younger generations should be self-disciplined.
B．Being sociable is a desired quality for their children.
C．Their children need more friends than they themselves do.
D．Different generations should have different circles of acquaintances.
30．What advice is given to vertically-attached people
A．Be that as it may, just leave it as it is.
B．Never underestimate your inner power.
C．Hang out more with friends and adjust to it.
D．Treat others the way you want to be treated.
31．What is the author's attitude towards vertically-attached people
A．Intolerant. B．Objective. C．Unconcerned. D．Critical.
【答案】28．D
29．B
30．A
31．B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了垂直依恋类型人格。在当今以同龄人为主导的世界中，人们往往认为拥有大量朋友意味着适应良好，而垂直依恋的人在这种环境中可能会感到不安，被贴上内向的标签。然而，文章强调，无论依恋方式如何，每个人都有自己独特的关系和情感需求，应该对自己的依恋方式有信心。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解和推理判断两个题型的考查，是一篇科普类阅读，通读全文，理解文章大意，阅读题目后返回原文阅读并找出与题目相对应的内容，仔细核对，选择符合原文原意的答案，完成后再次阅读并检查。
28．考查推理判断。根据第一段中的"However, there's another possible explanation — vertical attachment. If you are closer to your parents and family members than to your peers, you are vertically attached, which means you rely more on family for comfort."然而，还有另一种可能的解释——垂直依恋。如果你与父母和家庭成员的关系比与同龄人的关系更近，你是垂直依恋型的，这意味着你更依赖家庭来获得安慰。可知，垂直依恋类型的人更依赖父母和家庭成员。可推知，在遇到困难的时候经常向父亲求助的Lisa很可能属于垂直依恋类型。故选D。
29．考查细节理解。根据第二段中的"We believe that having lots of friends means that we are well-adjusted. We put our kids in playgroups and daycare for peer interaction. We expect teenagers to want to hang out with their friends, thinking it is the natural way of things."我们相信有很多朋友意味着我们适应得很好。我们把孩子放在游戏小组和日托中心进行同伴互动。我们期望青少年想和他们的朋友出去玩，认为这是很自然的事情。可知，家长们普遍希望他们的孩子具备善于交际的品质。故选B。
30．考查推理判断。根据最后一段"If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm."如果你感到这些不安全感，要知道你没有任何问题，你没有错过任何东西。你的依恋类型与你所处的文化不同。对你所拥有的人际关系的强度要有信心，无论是与感觉更像最好朋友的母亲，还是与你可以分享任何事情的祖母。即使它们看起来与文化规范不同，但它们是有意义的、丰富的关系。可知，作者建议垂直依恋型的人要正确看待自己的人际关系，要有信心。可推知，作者会建议"不管怎样，让它顺其自然"。故选A。
31．考查推理判断。根据第五段中的"However, vertically-attached people often label themselves as introverted. They feel insecure that others have more friends and live richer lives."然而，垂直依恋型的人通常给自己贴上内向的标签。别人有更多的朋友，过着更富裕的生活，他们感到不安全；以及最后一段中的"If you feel these insecurities, know that there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not missing out on anything. Your attachment style is just different from the culture where you live. Have confidence in the strength of the relationships you have, whether it is with a mom who feels more like a best friend, or a grandmother with whom you can share anything. They are meaningful, enriching relationships, even if they look different from the cultural norm."如果你感到这些不安全感，要知道你没有任何问题，你没有错过任何东西。你的依恋类型与你所处的文化不同。对你所拥有的人际关系的强度要有信心，无论是与感觉更像最好朋友的母亲，还是与你可以分享任何事情的祖母。即使它们看起来与文化规范不同，但它们是有意义的、丰富的关系。可知，作者在文中分析了垂直依恋类型的问题，但同时也说明垂直依恋并没有错，要自信面对。可推知，作者对其持客观态度。故选B。
（2023高二上·金牛月考）阅读理解
Today's Brussels sprouts （孢子甘蓝） taste better than you might remember from childhood, and that is because a new variety has replaced the original vegetable. You can thank plant breeders （植物育种家） for the change. Modern breeders, armed with new gene-editing technology, are looking to reproduce Brussels sprouts' reinvention.
In the late 1990s, scientists discovered specific chemicals which made Brussels sprouts taste bitter. Plant breeders started growing old seeds, previously abandoned due to poor yields （产量）, to look for tastier versions with lower levels of these specific chemicals. Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish.
But other vegetables haven't fared as well. That's because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored.
People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. "There's never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques," says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University.
Some companies are beginning to use those tools to deal with the challenge of developing tastier vegetables. One company, Pairwise, is fighting the same compounds that troubled Brussels sprouts: glucosinolates. But this time researchers are improving the flavor of salad greens.
All vegetable growers hope that more flavorful products on store shelves will convince people to consume the recommended allowances （推荐量） of fruits and vegetables — and do so better than decades of nutritional guidance have. "Don't waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better," said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. "Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat."
32．Why did plant breeders grow old Brussels sprout seeds
A．To find out why Brussels sprouts are bitter.
B．To find the less bitter versions of Brussels sprouts.
C．To study the specific chemicals of Brussels sprouts.
D．To select high-yielding versions of Brussels sprouts.
33．What does the underlined word "fared" in paragraph 3 mean
A．Profited. B．Emerged. C．Survived. D．Succeeded.
34．What can we learn from Susan Brown's words in paragraph 4
A．Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques are booming.
B．Fruit and vegetable breeders are struggling to develop new species.
C．Fruit and vegetable breeders should develop new genetic technology.
D．Fruit and vegetable breeding techniques need no further improvement.
35．Which is the best way to get people to eat more fruits and vegetables according to Harry Klee
A．Enhancing the taste of vegetables and fruits.
B．Making vegetables and fruits more affordable for people.
C．Improving the nutritional content of vegetables and fruits.
D．Educating people about the benefits of vegetables and fruits.
【答案】32．B

【解析】【分析】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了科学家通过育种来让孢子甘蓝变得没那么苦，这一成功主要是因为基因技术的发达，一些公司开始使用这些工具来应对开发更美味蔬菜的挑战。
【点评】本题考点涉及细节理解，词义猜测和推理判断三个题型的考查，是一篇科研类阅读，首先要仔细阅读短文，掌握大意，然后结合具体的题目，再读短文，从中找出相关信息，就可以确定正确答案。
32．考查推理判断。根据第二段中的"Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish."然后，他们将这些美味但产量低的植物与产量高的个体杂交，直到找到一种能长出大量美味嫩芽的品种，把这种蔬菜从一颗苦药丸变成了一道受欢迎的菜。可推知，植物育种家种植老球孢子甘蓝种子是为了寻找不那么苦的孢子甘蓝。故选B。
33．考查词义猜测。根据第二段中的"Then they crossed these delicious but low-yield plants with high-yield individuals until they found a version that made plenty of tasty sprouts, transforming the vegetable from a bitter pill into a popular dish."然后，他们将这些美味但产量低的植物与产量高的个体杂交，直到找到一种能长出大量美味嫩芽的品种，把这种蔬菜从一颗苦药丸变成了一道受欢迎的菜；以及第三段中的"That's because most breeding decisions favor plant traits that matter to vegetable growers, not vegetable eaters. For instance, disease resistance is probably the major focus these days of most breeding programs because that prevents the farmer from growing the crop. The taste of vegetables is ignored. "这是因为大多数育种决定都有利于蔬菜种植者的植物性状，而不是吃蔬菜的人。例如，抗病性可能是目前大多数育种计划的主要焦点，因为这阻碍了农民种植作物。蔬菜的味道被忽略了。可推知，上文提到种植老球芽甘蓝种子是为了寻找不那么苦的抱子甘蓝，后文则说蔬菜的味道被忽略了可知其他的蔬菜没有成功。可推断划线词 fared 意思是"成功"。故选D。
34．考查推理判断。根据第四段"People, however, are now becoming interested in prioritizing the taste of vegetables thanks in part to new genetic technology such as the gene-snipping technique CRISPR and DNA sequencing which is cheap enough to use widely. ‘There's never been a better time to be a fruit breeder or a vegetable breeder because we have more tools and techniques,' says Susan Brown, an apple breeder at Cornell University. "然而，人们现在开始对蔬菜的味道感兴趣，这在一定程度上要归功于新的基因技术，如基因剪切技术CRISPR和DNA测序，这些技术足够便宜，可以广泛使用。康奈尔大学的苹果育种专家苏珊 布朗表示："现在是水果育种或蔬菜育种的最佳时机，因为我们有更多的工具和技术。"可推知，苏珊·布朗的话表明水果和蔬菜育种技术正在蓬勃发展。故选A。
35．考查细节理解。根据最后一段"‘Don't waste your time talking about trying to educate people to eat better,' said Harry Klee, a professor who specializes in tomato breeding. ‘Just give them products that taste better and that they want to eat.'" "不要浪费时间谈论如何教育人们吃得更好，"专门研究番茄育种的教授Harry Klee说。"只要给他们提供味道更好、他们想吃的产品就行了。"可知，根据Harry Klee的说法，让人们多吃水果和蔬菜的最好方法是提高蔬菜和水果的味道。故选A。
四、第二部分 阅读理解，第二节任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分）
（2023高二上·金牛月考）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。
With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious. 　36． 　 Is it right Maybe not.
Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces （强化） the idea that there's no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do
is look to green technology to work its magic. 　37． 　
One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the mid-century. 　38． 　 Techno-optimism has led many to believe that if everyone just switched to driving electric vehicles, we would be making incredible steps towards sustainability. However, the reality is that the amount of resources and energy needed to produce
enough electric vehicles for everyone is not even remotely sustainable.
　39． 　 Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars. Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions.
Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints. 　40． 　 It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. Until we are ready to face the need for a less complex life, we cannot make true progress towards sustainability.
A. So where should we look for answers instead
B. The modern world's simple solution is technology.
C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce.
D. Is it a trap that many people have fallen into in recent years
E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold.
F. Despite any technology, we as a whole are not living sustainably.
G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles.
【答案】36．B；37．E；38．C；39．A；40．G

36．根据空前"With climate change continuing to worsen, our situation is beginning to feel increasingly serious."随着气候变化的持续恶化，我们的情况开始变得越来越严重。可知，气候问题持续恶化，人类的情况开始变得越来越严重。可推知，人类可能会采取解决气候问题的办法；以及空后"Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems."当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。它可以被定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题。可知，人们试图依靠技术来解决气候问题。 B. The modern world's simple solution is technology. "现代世界的简单解决方案就是技术"承上启下，符合语境。故选B。
37．根据空前"Techno-optimism is one of the greatest misconceptions when it comes to solutions to ensure our future. It can be defined as a belief that future technologies will solve all of our current problems. This definition reinforces (强化) the idea that there's no reason to panic or change our current energy-intensive lifestyle. All society needs to do is look to green technology to work its magic."当谈到确保我们未来的解决方案时，技术乐观主义是最大的误解之一。它可以被定义为相信未来的技术将解决我们当前的所有问题。这个定义强化了这样一种观点，即没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式。社会所需要做的就是期待绿色技术发挥其魔力。可知，上文提到了"没有理由恐慌或改变我们当前的能源密集型生活方式"这种观点，由此推知，下文应对这种观点进行评价。E. Unfortunately, this is an incredibly dangerous opinion to hold. "不幸的是，这是一个极其危险的观点"承接上文，符合语境，故选E。
38．根据空前"One of the best examples of this optimistic misconception is the electric car. Despite being highly regarded as an eco-friendly way to get around, electric cars are not the end for the future of transport. Batteries in electric cars use chemical elements which we could be seeing a shortage of by the mid-century."电动汽车就是这种乐观误解的最好例子之一。尽管电动汽车被高度认为是一种环保的出行方式，但它并不是未来交通的终点。电动汽车中的电池使用的化学元素到本世纪中叶可能会出现短缺。可知，上文提到了电动汽车的弊端。结合本段主要谈论"乐观误解"推知，空处应继续对电动汽车的弊端进行陈述。C. Moreover, they are more energy intensive to produce. "此外，它们的生产更耗能"符合语境，故选C。
39．根据空后"Investing in public transportation and moving away from individually owned vehicles. Producing fewer cars, Improving recycling practices of old batteries. The solutions we seek should not be rooted in new technology, but be about changing the way our society functions."投资公共交通，远离个人拥有的车辆。生产更少的汽车，改善旧电池的回收利用做法。我们寻求的解决方案不应该植根于新技术，而应该改变我们社会的运作方式。可知，作者认为我们应该改变社会的运作方式，这才是解决气候问题的办法。A. So where should we look for answers instead "那么，我们应该在哪里寻找答案呢？"引出本段内容，下文是对该问题的回答，符合语境，故选A。
40．根据空前"Techno-optimism puts too much emphasis on technology and not enough on what we can do right this minute. Unfortunately, people seem to like the picture that techno-optimism paints."技术乐观主义过于强调技术，而对我们现在能做的事情却不够重视。不幸的是，人们似乎喜欢技术乐观主义所描绘的画面；以及空后"It is important to understand that the problem begins when we see those technologies as a way to make our current lifestyles eco-friendly. "重要的是要理解，当我们将这些技术视为使我们当前的生活方式环保的一种方式时，问题就开始了。可知，人们似乎更喜欢依靠技术解决问题，当我们把技术视为当前的环保生活方式时，问题就开始了。可推知，要解决气候问题，不能只依靠技术，关键是要从很大程度上改变我们的生活方式。G. Nevertheless, the truth is, we need a widespread change in our lifestyles."然而，事实是，我们需要广泛改变我们的生活方式"符合语境。故选G。

"Wanted: Violin. Can't pay much. Call ..."
I rarely read classified advertisements. So why did I notice that I laid the paper on my lap and closed my eyes, remembering what had happened many years before, when my family struggled to make a living on our farm. I, too,
had wanted a violin, but we didn't have the money.
When my arms grew long enough, how I wanted one! But I knew it was out of the question. It was not a good year. At harvest the crops did not bring as much as we had hoped. Yet even though times were hard, I couldn't wait
any longer to ask, "Daddy, may I have a violin of my own " Daddy looked sad. That night, and many following nights, I heard him pray in our family devotions, " ...Mary wants her own violin."
One evening we all sat around the table. Daddy wrote a letter to his friend, Mr Finkle, a fine violinist. When Daddy received a letter from Columbus a few weeks later, he announced, "We'll be driving to Columbus."
The day finally arrived. After we got there Mr Finkle, a tall man older than Daddy, opened the door. "Come in!" he and Daddy heartily shook hands, both talking at once. He picked up a case, opened it, lifted out a violin and started to play. The melody surge like waterfalls. Oh, to play like him, I thought. "Carl, I found it in a pawn shop for seven dollars. It's a good violin. Mary should be able to make a beautiful music with it." Then he handed the
violin to me.
I noticed the tears in Daddy's eyes as I finally comprehended. It was mine! I stroked the violin gently. The wood was a golden brown that seemed to warm in the light. "It's beautiful." I said, barely breathing. I knew Daddy's prayer and mine had been answered. Back home I practised daily, feeling no tiredness.
When I was ready to join the school orchestra（管弦乐队） , I trembled with excitement. Daddy and Mother smiled proudly in the audience at their little girl who held her cherished violin for the world to admire. The years seemed to run more swiftly then. I packed my violin in its case and stepped into the grown-up world. Nurse's training, marriage, working, bringing up four daughters filled my years. Yet none of my children cared about the violin.
注意：1. 续写字数应为 80 词左右；2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I put my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement.
【答案】One possible version:
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. Laying the paper aside, I went to find my violin. And I dialed the number. Later that afternoon, an old car stopped in my driveway. A man in his thirties with a young girl knocked on the door. "I've been praying someone would answer my advertisement. My daughter wants a violin so badly." He said, "How much are you asking " "Seven dollars," I said. I handed the case to the girl. She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun. Then she threw her arms round her smiling father.
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. Determined to pass on the gift, I reached out to the advertiser. A father and his little son arrived to claim the violin, gratitude lighting up their faces. As I handed over the instrument, I felt joy, knowing I had found it a loving home, just as someone had done for me years ago. At that moment, I realized the beautiful cycle of kindness, passing on the gift of music and warmth, just as it had been bestowed upon me.
I forced my thoughts to the present and read again the advertisement. In the spirit of goodwill, I contacted the advertiser and offered my violin for the modest sum of 7 dollars. The next day, a mother and her daughter eagerly claimed the instrument. As I handed it over, the mother's eyes glistened with gratitude. "I can't believe we found a violin for our daughter at such a price," she exclaimed. I smiled, understanding that the true value of the exchange wasn't measured in dollars but in the shared joy of music. The violin, once mine, now embarked on a new chapter, playing melodies of hope and harmony for a mother and daughter to cherish.
【知识点】文字式记叙文；开放性作文；读后续写
【解析】【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读文章可知，讲述了一则求购小提琴的广告引起了作者的注意，并勾起了她对小时候的回忆。那时，作者家里经济困难，父亲没有钱购买作者一直渴望拥有的小提琴，最后在父亲朋友的帮助下，作者拥有了自己的小提琴。续写部分开头是：我努力让思绪回到现实，接着又读了一遍广告。显然接下来的内容应该是作者受到广告内容的打动，决心将自己的小提琴送给需要的人。写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次。
【点评】本书面表达要点齐全，上下文连贯，使用一定数量的句式结构，让句子更加生动丰满，同时运用了许多高级词汇和固定短语，提高文章的档次，体现了对英语的熟练的驾驭能力。例如：范文一： Laying the paper aside, I went to find my violin.运用了现在分词作状语； I've been praying someone would answer my advertisement. 运用了宾语从句；She opened the case and touched the violin lightly as it caught the glow of the late-afternoon sun. 运用了时间状语从句。
范文二：Determined to pass on the gift, I reached out to the advertiser. 运用了形容词作状语； A father and his little son arrived to claim the violin, gratitude lighting up their faces. 运用了独立主格结构；As I handed over the instrument, I felt joy, knowing I had found it a loving home, just as someone had done for me years ago. 运用了时间状语从句，现在分词作状语，宾语从句，方式状语从句；At that moment, I realized the beautiful cycle of kindness, passing on the gift of music and warmth, just as it had bee
