(2024·西安高二下学期质检)I have three kids and a great husband and I’m enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun.To the outside world, this feels like “success”. But there is still a voice in my heart asking if this is who I truly am.Only in silence do I hear the self and wonder who that person might be.
So I booked a trip to find out.I travelled, for the first time, without my husband or kids.I went to Iceland with a friend, who shares an appreciation for wilderness and silence.
For six days, we were immersed (沉浸) in wild, raw scenery and real weather — all kinds of weather.Climbing a mountain against rain and returning to a tent for a simple meal remind you how little you actually need.And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes.
I found silence in Iceland, and time to consider the me outside of career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers.
When I stopped talking and just listened, I became more generous.I learned that choosing to be generous can create more space, more food and more warmth.
But I didn’t really gain any better appreciation of what I want from my life or job.I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy, and to be present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.
I came home to noise, rush and love; with no less confusion on who I want to be.I know the answer isn’t waiting out there on the top of a mountain in Iceland.The answer is in front of me with every step on my own life’s path, and in every choice I make.
1.Why did the author take a trip to Iceland?
A.To gain a new experience.
B.To enjoy family happiness.
C.To better understand herself.
D.To appreciate natural beauty.
2.What do we learn about the author’s trip?
A.Exciting. B.Difficult.
C.Comfortable. D.Adventurous.
3.What change happened to the author?
A.She felt lonelier.
B.She felt more anxious.
C.She became more caring.
D.She became more confident.
4.What will the author do in the future?
A.Go back to nature.
B.Face reality bravely.
C.Travel to Iceland more often.
D.Pay less attention to her work.

(2024·济宁高二下学期月考)In today’s world, it can feel like our entire lives take place in front of a screen. Whether we’re texting friends or laughing at TikToks, our digital devices are always close.
This can help us feel more connected to friends or family. But it can also physically disconnect us from interacting with people face-to-face. Beyond our mental well-being, these devices can also impact the well-being of our planet.
Every device we plug in or charge up uses electricity. Much of that power comes from burning fuels that add greenhouse gases to the air. As a result, each of our devices leaves a trail of climate-warming gases, usually carbon dioxide, or CO2.
The CO2 emissions from any product or activity depend on how much energy goes into making, using or doing something. For example, flying a plane uses a lot more liquid fuel than driving a car. And riding a bike uses no gas or diesel.
“The same idea applies to our phones,” says Jessica McLean at Macquarie University. “Just like different types of transportation produce different amounts of pollution, so do different types of online activities,” she says. Video streaming leads to more CO2 emissions than other forms of screen use, McLean points out.
Luckily, there are small steps we all can take to lower the climate impacts of our digital lives. McLean says that one way to make greener use of our devices is to keep them as long as possible. We shouldn’t trade in a device for a newer version so frequently. Another tip: Turn off features like auto-play when streaming video. Auto-play algorithms can keep us scrolling longer than we intend to. Hand-picking what to watch next can be a more sustainable and mindful approach.
There’s no one solution to greening our digital lives. Every screen we use, every text we send, every video we scroll through — each has a price. By themselves, each is fairly small. But every small change we make to lower the carbon footprint of our screen use is a step toward slowing the rate of climate change.
5.What do the first three paragraphs focus on?
A.The functions of digital devices.
B.The popularity of digital devices.
C.The negative effect of digital devices.
D.The great importance of digital devices.
6.Why does the author mention different types of transportation in Paragraph 5?
A.To show we have a variety of choices online.
B.To show there are a variety of digital devices.
C.To prove different digital devices have different functions.
D.To prove different online activities lead to different effects.
7.What does Jessica McLean suggest we do?
A.Play videos automatically.
B.Replace a phone regularly.
C.Choose programs by hand.
D.Send videos instead of emails.
8.Which of the following can best express the main idea of the last paragraph?
A.Hard work pays.
B.Every little counts.
C.Many hands make light work.
D.Time and tide wait for no man.

When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many families were left completely ruined.One Sunday, a particular picture especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of an entirely ruined home.A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes downcast.Clutching (紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into the camera, eyes wide with confusion and fear.The article that went with the picture gave the clothing sizes of each family member.With growing interest, I noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than themselves.I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator, explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett, and three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said.“We’ll share what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room floor, encouraging the boys to go through their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods that they no longer needed.
Meghan walked up to Lucy, her much-loved doll, and hugged it tightly to her chest.She stopped in front of the box, gave her doll a final kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy.You love her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously,“Lucy makes me happy, Mommy.Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed her favourite doll in the box.
I looked at my children for a long moment.

The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed her favourite doll in the box.Without a word, the boys rose and went to their rooms and came back carrying their favourite toys to the living room.Astonished, I realised that the boys had also recognised what little Meghan’s action meant.I think all of them want to make these poor people who have nothing happy like them.Swallowing tears, I pulled all three of them into my arms.
I looked at my children for a long moment.I removed my old jacket from the box of clothes.I replaced it with the new green jacket that I had found on sale last week.I hoped the young woman in the picture would love it as much as I did.What Meghan did taught me a lesson that the true spirit of donating is to give with your heart.

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔,证之以例
英语习语
习语,或称“成语”“惯用语”,是一个民族长期以来形成的特殊表达方法。《牛津词典》对idiom一词的解释是:phrase or sentence whose meaning is not clear from the meaning of its individual words and which must be learnt as a whole unit,由此可以看出,习语的特点是表达完整,结构固定,常使用比喻的手法。习语不是单词意思的简单叠加,需根据语境整体理解。
英语中常见的习语有:
rain cats and dogs 下倾盆大雨
face the music 承担责任或后果
break a leg 祝演出成功
a piece of cake 小菜一碟
cost an arm and a leg 花了一大笔钱
feel under the weather 生病;觉得不舒服
对习语的考查在英语听力测试中屡见不鲜,提问形式通常是以what开头的特殊疑问句, 例如:
What does the professor mean when he says this?
一般来说,对于一些英语习语,我们能从字面上猜出它们的大致意思,但是还有些习语表达的意思与构成习语的单词本身的意思截然相反。因此,同学们应在平时注意积累一些常见的英语习语。例如“in the pink”是表示“身体很健康、精力充沛”的习语,当一段材料中说“He is in the pink.”时,表示的是“他的身体很好”。
【典例】 What did the man mean by saying “the audience really sat on their hands”?
A.The audience loved his show.
B.The audience didn’t enjoy the show.
C.The audience didn’t know how to enjoy the show.
【听力材料】
W:Hey, Tom, how did your show go in the club?
M:I thought it would be great but the audience really sat on their hands.
W:I think you are a great musician.It’s their fault that they couldn’t appreciate your music.
【分析】 Tom说他本以为自己表演得很棒,但是“观众真的坐在自己的手上”,也就是说没有为他鼓掌,由此推断出观众不喜欢他的表演。再结合女士对他的安慰,认为他是一位很棒的音乐家,那些观众无法欣赏他的表演是他们的过错。据此可以推断出,答案选B。
Part Ⅱ Write about a rail journey across Canada

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL: TORONTO AND MONTREAL [1]After Li Daiyu and her cousin arrived in Toronto, the largest and wealthiest city in Canada, they only had a few hours to kill before they had to proceed to the next leg of their trip to Montreal, so they went on a tour of the city.They went up the CN Tower and looked across the shores of Lake Ontario.Standing in the distance, they were astonished to see misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls, which is on the south side of the lake.Water from the lakes flows into the Niagara River and over the falls on its way to the sea. [1]这是一个由so连接的并列句。在第一个分句中,after和before引导时间状语从句。 The girls saw hundreds of skyscrapers of glass and steel, and old-fashioned cars rolling by.As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said,“Lin Fei, one of my mother’s old schoolmates, lives here.I should phone her and see if she’s available for dinner.” They met Lin Fei around dusk over dinner at a restaurant in downtown Chinatown.[2]The cousins chatted with Lin Fei, who had moved to Canada many years earlier. [2]who引导非限制性定语从句。 “This is the largest Chinatown in Toronto.We have a few more in the Greater Toronto Area, so you can guess that there are a lot of Chinese people in Canada! Chinese people have been coming here for more than a hundred years.Therefore, we can get all kinds of great food here from all over China,” Lin Fei told them. The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal early the next morning.At the station, in contrast to Toronto, they heard people talking in French.They were surprised to see that all the signs and advertisements were in French and many people spoke English with an accent. “We don’t leave until this evening,” said Liu Qian.“Let’s go downtown.Old Montreal is close to the water.” 一、学结构 本文为游记类文章,按照时间发展顺序记叙了李黛予和刘倩两姐妹在不同城市的所见所闻所感。全文大致可分为两部分,分别讲述了两姐妹在多伦多和蒙特利尔的所见所闻。 1.文章以 SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL:TORONTO AND MONTREAL为题,讲述了两姐妹从多伦多到蒙特利尔这段旅途中的所见所闻。 2.文章以时间的推移和地点的转换为线索,用优美、流畅的语言描绘出一幅具有加拿大特色的多彩画卷,包括当地的自然美景、城市风貌、文化传统、艺术生活等,为学生接下来完成写作任务提供了重要的信息和鲜活的语言素材。 二、学语言 第一部分(第1~4段):第一段中的kill、 went up、 looked across等不同动词的使用展现了她们不同的活动;形容词astonished以及 see misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls的使用,表现了尼亚加拉大瀑布的壮观。
They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and visiting artists in their workplaces along St Paul Street.As they sat in a restaurant alongside the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them. “Hello, my name is Jean-Philippe.I’m a photographer,” he said, “and I was wondering where you are from.” The girls told him they were from China and were on a train trip across Canada.When they told him they had only one day in Montreal, he said, “That’s too bad.You owe it to yourselves to stay longer.Overall, Montreal is a city with wonderful sights and sounds.Most of us speak both English and French, and the city has unique Quebec culture and traditions.There are fantastic restaurants and clubs around, too.Here, we love good coffee, toast, and cheese.And good music, of course!” That night the train was speeding along the St Lawrence River towards the Gulf of St Lawrence and down to the distant east coast towards the province of Nova Scotia and its largest city, Halifax.The cousins dreamt happily of the beautiful cobblestone streets, old brick buildings, and the red maple leaves of Montreal. 第二段中的rolling by生动形象地描绘出多伦多市的繁华忙碌。 第二部分(第5~10段):第五段中的heard people talking in French以及 surprised to see等词汇的运用表现了她们在蒙特利尔听到法语并看到法语标示牌和广告时的惊奇。 第十段中的动词speeding直观地表现出了火车前往下一目的地的速度;dreamt happily表明这一天给她们留下了美好的印象。
【参考译文】
坐火车看“真北方”:多伦多和蒙特利尔
李黛予和表妹来到多伦多这个加拿大最大、最富有的城市后,离出发到下一站蒙特利尔之前只有几个小时的时间,她们就在多伦多逛了逛。她们登上加拿大国家电视塔,眺望安大略湖畔。她们站在远处眺望,看到湖的南边从尼亚加拉大瀑布上升腾而起的水雾,感到非常震撼。湖水流入尼亚加拉河,越过尼亚加拉瀑布,最终汇入大海。
两个女孩看到很多玻璃和钢筋建造的摩天大楼,还有老式汽车从身边驶过。离开港口区后,她们向北行走。李黛予说:“我妈妈的老同学林菲就住在这里。我得给她打个电话,看看她是否有空一起吃晚饭。”
黄昏时分,她们来到市中心唐人街的一家餐馆跟林菲见面吃饭。林菲多年前就来到加拿大生活。表姐妹俩与她畅聊了一番。
“这是多伦多最大的唐人街。大多伦多地区还有几个唐人街,你们可以猜到加拿大有很多中国人!一百多年来,不断有中国人来到这里。所以,我们在这里能吃到中国各地的各色美食。”林菲告诉她们。
火车于当天深夜出发,次日一早抵达蒙特利尔。在火车站,她们听见人们用法语交谈,这与多伦多形成鲜明对比。 两人惊奇地发现所有的标示牌和广告都是用法文写的,而且许多人说英语都有口音。
“我们要到傍晚才动身。”刘倩说,“咱们到市区逛逛吧,蒙特利尔老城区就在河边。”
整个下午,她们穿梭于一家家可爱的小店,拜访圣保罗街边工作坊里的艺术家们。两人在宽阔的圣劳伦斯河边上的一家餐馆里落座后,一个小伙子也在她们身边坐了下来。
“你们好,我叫让-菲利普,是一名摄影师,”他说道,“请问你们从哪里来?”
姑娘们告诉他,她们来自中国,并且正在进行横跨加拿大的火车之旅。得知她们只能在蒙特利尔逗留一天时,他说道:“那太可惜了,你们应该多待几天。总的来说,蒙特利尔是一座声色俱佳的城市。我们大多数人既说英语,也说法语。这座城市拥有独特的魁北克文化和传统。此外,这里还有很棒的餐馆和酒吧。这里的人酷爱美味的咖啡、吐司和奶酪。当然,还有动听的音乐!”
当晚,火车沿着圣劳伦斯河向圣劳伦斯湾飞驰,经过远方的东海岸,驶向新斯科舍省及其最大的城市哈利法克斯。在梦乡中,表姐妹俩愉快地回味着蒙特利尔美丽的鹅卵石街道、古老的砖砌建筑和鲜红的枫叶。

听力技巧点拨 ——授之以渔,证之以例
英语习语
习语,或称“成语”“惯用语”,是一个民族长期以来形成的特
殊表达方法。《牛津词典》对idiom一词的解释是:phrase or sentence
whose meaning is not clear from the meaning of its individual words and
which must be learnt as a whole unit,由此可以看出,习语的特点是表
达完整,结构固定,常使用比喻的手法。习语不是单词意思的简单叠
加,需根据语境整体理解。
英语中常见的习语有:
rain cats and dogs 下倾盆大雨
face the music 承担责任或后果
break a leg 祝演出成功
a piece of cake 小菜一碟
cost an arm and a leg 花了一大笔钱
feel under the weather 生病;觉得不舒服
对习语的考查在英语听力测试中屡见不鲜,提问形式通常是以
what开头的特殊疑问句, 例如:
What does the professor mean when he says this?
一般来说,对于一些英语习语,我们能从字面上猜出它们的大致
意思,但是还有些习语表达的意思与构成习语的单词本身的意思截然
相反。因此,同学们应在平时注意积累一些常见的英语习语。例如
“in the pink”是表示“身体很健康、精力充沛”的习语,当一段材料
中说“He is in the pink.”时,表示的是“他的身体很好”。
【典例】 What did the man mean by saying “the audience really sat on their hands”?
A. The audience loved his show.
B. The audience didn’t enjoy the show.
C. The audience didn’t know how to enjoy the show.
【听力材料】
W:Hey, Tom, how did your show go in the club?
M:I thought it would be great but the audience really sat on their hands.
W:I think you are a great musician.It’s their fault that they couldn’t
appreciate your music.
【分析】 Tom说他本以为自己表演得很棒,但是“观众真的坐在自
己的手上”,也就是说没有为他鼓掌,由此推断出观众不喜欢他的表
演。再结合女士对他的安慰,认为他是一位很棒的音乐家,那些观众
无法欣赏他的表演是他们的过错。据此可以推断出,答案选B。

Step 1 品教材课文
SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL:
TORONTO AND MONTREAL
[1]After Li Daiyu and her cousin arrived in Toronto, the largest and
wealthiest city in Canada, they only had a few hours to kill before they
had to proceed to the next leg of their trip to Montreal, so they went on a
tour of the city.They went up the CN Tower and looked across the shores
of Lake Ontario.Standing in the distance, they were astonished to see
misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls, which is on the south
side of the lake.Water from the lakes flows into the Niagara River and over
the falls on its way to the sea.
[1]这是一个由so连接的并列句。在第一个分句中,after和before
引导时间状语从句。
The girls saw hundreds of skyscrapers of glass and steel, and old-
fashioned cars rolling by.As they walked north from the harbour area, Li
Daiyu said,“Lin Fei, one of my mother’s old schoolmates, lives
here.I should phone her and see if she’s available for dinner.”
They met Lin Fei around dusk over dinner at a restaurant in downtown
Chinatown.[2]The cousins chatted with Lin Fei, who had moved to
Canada many years earlier.
[2]who引导非限制性定语从句。
“This is the largest Chinatown in Toronto.We have a few more in the
Greater Toronto Area, so you can guess that there are a lot of Chinese
people in Canada! Chinese people have been coming here for more than a
hundred years.Therefore, we can get all kinds of great food here from all
over China,” Lin Fei told them.
The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal early the next
morning.At the station, in contrast to Toronto, they heard people
talking in French.They were surprised to see that all the signs and
advertisements were in French and many people spoke English with an
accent.
“We don’t leave until this evening,” said Liu Qian.“Let’s go
downtown.Old Montreal is close to the water.”
They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and visiting artists in their
workplaces along St Paul Street.As they sat in a restaurant alongside the
broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them.
“Hello, my name is Jean-Philippe.I’m a photographer,” he
said, “and I was wondering where you are from.”
The girls told him they were from China and were on a train trip
across Canada.When they told him they had only one day in Montreal,
he said, “That’s too bad.You owe it to yourselves to stay
longer.Overall, Montreal is a city with wonderful sights and
sounds.Most of us speak both English and French, and the city has
unique Quebec culture and traditions.There are fantastic restaurants and
clubs around, too.Here, we love good coffee, toast, and
cheese.And good music, of course!”
That night the train was speeding along the St Lawrence River
towards the Gulf of St Lawrence and down to the distant east coast towards
the province of Nova Scotia and its largest city, Halifax.The cousins
dreamt happily of the beautiful cobblestone streets, old brick buildings,
and the red maple leaves of Montreal.
Step 2 析写作手法
一、学结构
本文为游记类文章,按照时间发展顺序记叙了李黛予和刘倩两姐
妹在不同城市的所见所闻所感。全文大致可分为两部分,分别讲述了
两姐妹在多伦多和蒙特利尔的所见所闻。
1. 文章以 SEEING THE TRUE NORTH VIA RAIL:TORONTO
AND MONTREAL为题,讲述了两姐妹从多伦多到蒙特利尔这段
旅途中的所见所闻。
2. 文章以时间的推移和地点的转换为线索,用优美、流畅的语言描绘
出一幅具有加拿大特色的多彩画卷,包括当地的自然美景、城市风
貌、文化传统、艺术生活等,为学生接下来完成写作任务提供了重
要的信息和鲜活的语言素材。
二、学语言
第一部分(第1~4段):第一段中的kill、 went up、 looked
across等不同动词的使用展现了她们不同的活动;形容词astonished以
及 see misty clouds rising from the great Niagara Falls的使用,表现了尼
亚加拉大瀑布的壮观。
第二段中的rolling by生动形象地描绘出多伦多市的繁华忙碌。
第二部分(第5~10段):第五段中的heard people talking in
French以及 surprised to see等词汇的运用表现了她们在蒙特利尔听到法
语并看到法语标示牌和广告时的惊奇。
第十段中的动词speeding直观地表现出了火车前往下一目的地的
速度;dreamt happily表明这一天给她们留下了美好的印象。
【参考译文】
坐火车看“真北方”:多伦多和蒙特利尔
李黛予和表妹来到多伦多这个加拿大最大、最富有的城市后,离
出发到下一站蒙特利尔之前只有几个小时的时间,她们就在多伦多逛
了逛。她们登上加拿大国家电视塔,眺望安大略湖畔。她们站在远处
眺望,看到湖的南边从尼亚加拉大瀑布上升腾而起的水雾,感到非常
震撼。湖水流入尼亚加拉河,越过尼亚加拉瀑布,最终汇入大海。
两个女孩看到很多玻璃和钢筋建造的摩天大楼,还有老式汽车从
身边驶过。离开港口区后,她们向北行走。李黛予说:“我妈妈的老
同学林菲就住在这里。我得给她打个电话,看看她是否有空一起吃晚
饭。”
黄昏时分,她们来到市中心唐人街的一家餐馆跟林菲见面吃饭。
林菲多年前就来到加拿大生活。表姐妹俩与她畅聊了一番。
“这是多伦多最大的唐人街。大多伦多地区还有几个唐人
街,你们可以猜到加拿大有很多中国人!一百多年来,不断有中
国人来到这里。所以,我们在这里能吃到中国各地的各色美
食。”林菲告诉她们。
火车于当天深夜出发,次日一早抵达蒙特利尔。在火车站,她们
听见人们用法语交谈,这与多伦多形成鲜明对比。 两人惊奇地发现所
有的标示牌和广告都是用法文写的,而且许多人说英语都有口音。
“我们要到傍晚才动身。”刘倩说,“咱们到市区逛逛吧,蒙特
利尔老城区就在河边。”
整个下午,她们穿梭于一家家可爱的小店,拜访圣保罗街边工作
坊里的艺术家们。两人在宽阔的圣劳伦斯河边上的一家餐馆里落座
后,一个小伙子也在她们身边坐了下来。
“你们好,我叫让-菲利普,是一名摄影师,”他说道,“请问你
们从哪里来?”
姑娘们告诉他,她们来自中国,并且正在进行横跨加拿大的火车
之旅。得知她们只能在蒙特利尔逗留一天时,他说道:“那太可惜
了,你们应该多待几天。总的来说,蒙特利尔是一座声色俱佳的城
市。我们大多数人既说英语,也说法语。这座城市拥有独特的魁北克
文化和传统。此外,这里还有很棒的餐馆和酒吧。这里的人酷爱美味
的咖啡、吐司和奶酪。当然,还有动听的音乐!”
当晚,火车沿着圣劳伦斯河向圣劳伦斯湾飞驰,经过远方的东海
岸,驶向新斯科舍省及其最大的城市哈利法克斯。在梦乡中,表姐妹
俩愉快地回味着蒙特利尔美丽的鹅卵石街道、古老的砖砌建筑和鲜红
的枫叶。

(2024·西安高二下学期质检)I have three kids and a great husband
and I’m enjoying a career that I find challenging and fun.To the outside
world, this feels like “success”. But there is still a voice in my heart
asking if this is who I truly am.Only in silence do I hear the self and
wonder who that person might be.
So I booked a trip to find out.I travelled, for the first time, without
my husband or kids.I went to Iceland with a friend, who shares an
appreciation for wilderness and silence.
For six days, we were immersed (沉浸) in wild, raw scenery
and real weather — all kinds of weather.Climbing a mountain against rain
and returning to a tent for a simple meal remind you how little you actually
need.And how strong it feels to be uncomfortable sometimes.
I found silence in Iceland, and time to consider the me outside of
career and the me outside of kids as I shared stories with strangers.
When I stopped talking and just listened, I became more generous.I
learned that choosing to be generous can create more space, more food
and more warmth.
But I didn’t really gain any better appreciation of what I want from
my life or job.I suspect the anxiety that drove me to seek silence in Iceland
was losing sight of my ability to choose gratitude and joy, and to be
present in the challenges I set in my career and my family.
I came home to noise, rush and love; with no less confusion on
who I want to be.I know the answer isn’t waiting out there on the top of a
mountain in Iceland.The answer is in front of me with every step on my
own life’s path, and in every choice I make.

(2024·济宁高二下学期月考)In today’s world, it can feel like
our entire lives take place in front of a screen. Whether we’re texting
friends or laughing at TikToks, our digital devices are always close.
This can help us feel more connected to friends or family. But it can
also physically disconnect us from interacting with people face-to-face.
Beyond our mental well-being, these devices can also impact the well-
being of our planet.
Every device we plug in or charge up uses electricity. Much of that
power comes from burning fuels that add greenhouse gases to the air. As a
result, each of our devices leaves a trail of climate-warming gases,
usually carbon dioxide, or CO2.
The CO2 emissions from any product or activity depend on how much
energy goes into making, using or doing something. For example,
flying a plane uses a lot more liquid fuel than driving a car. And riding a
bike uses no gas or diesel.
“The same idea applies to our phones,” says Jessica McLean at
Macquarie University. “Just like different types of transportation produce
different amounts of pollution, so do different types of online
activities,” she says. Video streaming leads to more CO2 emissions than
other forms of screen use, McLean points out.
Luckily, there are small steps we all can take to lower the climate
impacts of our digital lives. McLean says that one way to make greener
use of our devices is to keep them as long as possible. We shouldn’t trade
in a device for a newer version so frequently. Another tip: Turn off
features like auto-play when streaming video. Auto-play algorithms can
keep us scrolling longer than we intend to. Hand-picking what to watch
next can be a more sustainable and mindful approach.
There’s no one solution to greening our digital lives. Every screen
we use, every text we send, every video we scroll through — each has a
price. By themselves, each is fairly small. But every small change we
make to lower the carbon footprint of our screen use is a step toward
slowing the rate of climate change.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构
成一篇完整的短文。
When a tornado touched down in a small town nearby, many
families were left completely ruined.One Sunday, a particular picture
especially touched me.A young woman stood in front of an entirely ruined
home.A young boy, seven or eight years old, stood at her side, eyes
downcast.Clutching (紧握) at her skirt was a tiny girl who stared into
the camera,
eyes wide with confusion and fear.The article that went with the picture
gave the clothing sizes of each family member.With growing interest, I
noticed that their sizes closely matched ours.This would be a good
opportunity to teach my children to help those less fortunate than
themselves.I taped the picture of the young family to our refrigerator,
explaining their difficulty to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Brett,
and three-year-old Meghan.
“These poor people now have nothing,” I said.“We’ll share
what we have with them.”
I brought three large boxes and placed them on the living room
floor, encouraging the boys to go through their toys and donate some of
their less favourite things.Meghan watched seriously, as the boys and I
filled one of the boxes with canned goods and foods that they no longer
needed.
Meghan walked up to Lucy, her much-loved doll, and hugged it
tightly to her chest.She stopped in front of the box, gave her doll a final
kiss, and then laid her gently on top of the other toys.
“Oh, honey,” I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy.You love
her so much.”
Meghan nodded seriously,“Lucy makes me happy,
Mommy.Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式作答。
The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed
her favourite doll in the box.
I looked at my children for a long moment.
参考范文:
The boys had watched, open-mouthed, when their sister placed her
favourite doll in the box.Without a word, the boys rose and went to their
rooms and came back carrying their favourite toys to the living
room.Astonished, I realised that the boys had also recognised what little
Meghan’s action meant.I think all of them want to make these poor
people who have nothing happy like them.Swallowing tears, I pulled all
three of them into my arms.
I looked at my children for a long moment.I removed my old jacket
from the box of clothes.I replaced it with the new green jacket that I had
found on sale last week.I hoped the young woman in the picture would
love it as much as I did.What Meghan did taught me a lesson that the true
spirit of donating is to give with your heart.
