Notice, though, not a single mention of their status, prizes, or advances—in other words, their success. And while status, literary awards, and money can be indicators of a successful writer, one must actually sit down and write for any of those things to happen. That’s what all of these pieces of advice have in common: putting words on the page. In this issue, you’ll find articles to help you succeed, no matter your goals. If it’s to figure out whether that mess of a novel you’ve got sitting in a drawer can be rescued or if you need to move on, Andromeda Romano’s article will offer questions to ask yourself. Michael La Ronn’s essay will give you an example of how an unexpected opportunity might be just the push you need. Or, if you’ve had trouble finding an agent, Ryan Van Cleave’s collection of tips and advice from 22 literary agents on every aspect of the business might change your luck. Matty Dalrymple shares ways to reach more readers and build a community with them. Wish you success and happy new year! 1. The advice mentioned at the beginning highlights the importance of ______. A. a big dream B. constant practice C. earning money D. achieving success 2. Whose article may help those who are unsure whether to save an unsuccessful novel? A. Matty Dalrympl. B. Michael La Ronn. C. Ryan Van Cleave. D. Andromeda Romano. 3. Who might be the target readers of this issue? A. Writers. B. Businessmen. C. Booksellers. D. Literary agents. B My weight gain began while I was in veterinary (兽医的) school at Purdue University ten years ago, and it continued to increase quickly once I got married and had three children, all while running my own photography business. Needless to say, my busy schedule and caring for others took away from caring for myself. I knew I needed to work out and eat better; I was just too scared to ask for help on where to begin. My turning point took place on January 20, 2021. It was the day before my husband and I celebrated our ninth anniversary (周年纪念日) that I decided to better myself. I was 32 years old and over 260 pounds. I thought to myself, “My kids are so little, and the route I am on isn’t going to allow me to be here long enough to watch them grow in life.” It just destroyed my happiness. I began running at STRIDE in January 2022. My first class there was just power walking. After the class was done, I thought to myself, “Man, I think I could push myself a little harder next time.” And I did. With love and encouragement from all the members surrounding me and the guidance and support from the coaches, I have been running ever since and loving it. I have never been a runner. Now I feel like my day doesn’t start without running, and that makes me so proud to say. I have come so far since joining STRIDE, but not just physically. Running has helped my mind and soul in more ways than one, and I’m so grateful for that. Running has given me a purpose again — a purpose to be a better mom, a purpose to be a better wife, a purpose to do better with my career, and a purpose to just better myself, which I so enjoy again. If you’re in the same situation I was in, don’t hesitate to take action. I’ve made it and you can, too. 4. What does the author think played an important role in her weight gain? A. Having nobody to ask for help. B. Being unaware of her unhealthy body. C. A very busy life after getting married. D. Considerable pressure from her veterinary school. 5. Why did the author decide to lose weight? A. She feared she’d die early. B. She was warned by her doctor. C. She intended to enjoy her anniversary. D. She wanted to set a good example for her children. 6. In what way has the author changed? A. She has changed her dietary habits. B. She is very hopeful about her life. C. She gets along well with her family. D. She has chosen her health over her career. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To recommend a running club. B. To show the value of a balanced life. C. To tell people how to lose weight quickly. D. To encourage people with a weight problem. C Well over half of the average diet in the UK and US now consists of ultra-processed food (UPF) — or, as one scientist prefers to put it, industrially produced edible (可食用的) substances. Though defining it technically is complex, the simple explanation is that it contains items you wouldn’t normally find in a kitchen. Sometimes UPF looks like junk food obviously artificial and high in salt, fat and sugar. But it often comes in reliable forms such as soup, muesli or yogurt. Unfortunately, almost every food that comes with a health claim on the packet is UPF. And a vast body of data has emerged in support of the theory that UPF damages the human body and increases rates of cancer, mental illness, etc. Produced by a handful of multinational companies, UPF is created to be cheap to produce and transport, with industrially derived (提取的) substances replacing costlier ingredients (原料) and ensuring long shelf lives. It is also designed to make us buy more — essential in a system where businesses must keep growing to satisfy their shareholders each quarter. Global consumption is rising fast, especially in middle-income countries. The impact is firstly on individual bodies, but through them on health services. This is a social problem that cannot be solved by telling consumers to check product labels. UPF consumption is not propelled by laziness or greed, but poverty, intensive marketing and foods designed to make us keep eating: Taking on big food is harder than tackling big tobacco has been. It requires addressing a broad range of products that many people cannot simply cut out. But it is possible and necessary. Addressing poverty is central: when people can afford to eat more healthily, they generally do. The government should ensure that people learn not only about the risks of UPF, but also about how to eat well. Measures should be taken to ensure that the food consumption is pushed by nutritional needs and appetites — not by financialised growth. 8. What can we know about UPF? A. It can’t be found in a kitchen. B. It looks like junk food but is healthy. C. It is most popular in rich countries. D. It may harm physical and mental health. 9. What does the underlined word “propelled” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Forbidden. B. Proved. C. Driven. D. Assessed. 10. What is a possible way to deal with the UPF problem? A. To handle the tobacco problem first. B. To limit the production of UPF. C. To ban people from consuming UPF. D. To raise people’s awareness of healthy diet. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. UPF: Blame Businesses, Not Consumers B. UPF: Convenience Food C. UPF: Time to Reach More People D. UPF: A Sensitive Issue D Do you remember being asked what you wanted to be when you grew up? No doubt the more imaginative your answer, the more approval you would get. But once we reach adolescence (青春期), there’s far less tolerance for answers like, “I’m going to be a marine biologist, circus clown and journalist!” Now the question translates as You are allowed one identity in this life, so which is it? At university you need to choose a subject to major in, which leads to one specific degree, intended for one type of job. The message that you need to specialise is reinforced (强化) in many contexts. Career guidance books and counsellors give you tests to help you identify your dream job. But what happens if you’re curious about several subjects, and there are many things you’d like to study? If you’re unable or unwilling to settle on a single career path, you might worry that you don’t have one true calling like everybody else and that, therefore, your life lacks purpose. As the saying goes, you’re a “jack of all trades, master of none”. In reality, the ambitious young people of today are more interested in moving around and doing different things. In the modern workplace, people are working flexibly and the individual is in control of their professional life and in a position to make decision s about how, when and where they work. Rather than finding something and doing it forever, the new challenge is to find a way of working that works for you. This new flexible workplace is one where generalists feel at ease. People who have a range of interests are suited to the modern workplace in two essential ways. Firstly, they are used to combining two or more fields and it is at the intersection (十字路口) between seemingly unrelated ideas that innovation often happens. Secondly, people who change roles frequently are less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of their comfort zones. They’re fast learners. 12. What does the author say about university students? A. They tend to lose their imagination. B. They feel pressured to choose a speciality. C. They could benefit from career counselling. D. They find it impossible to make decisions independently. 13. What does the author suggest in the third paragraph? A. People refuse to choose a career on purpose. B. Everybody should find a passion and stick to it. C. You’ll never succeed unless you find your dream job. D. Some people may be unsure what career they really like. 14. What are people like in the modern workplace? A. They rarely decide what they want to do. B. They prefer to stay in the same profession. C. They are constantly challenged to change jobs. D. They are taking control of how they work. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A The importance of continuous learning. B. Advantages of generalists in the future workplace. C. Ways the modern workplace makes use of flexible workers. D. The relationship between personal interests and career choices 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。 There is much conversation about boundaries these days, but what exactly are boundaries?

We had been friends since we were six years old. I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼). For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses—even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her. Our school had a tradition—there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night. Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show?” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her. Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps. 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。 Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1—5 ABCAB 6—10 CACAC 11—15 BABAB 16—20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 上饶一中2023-2024学年高三下学期仿真模拟考 英语试题卷 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Now I feel like my day doesn’t start without running, and that makes me so proud to say. I have come so far since joining STRIDE, but not just physically. Running has helped my mind and soul in more ways than one, and I’m so grateful for that. Running has given me a purpose again — a purpose to be a better mom, a purpose to be a better wife, a purpose to do better with my career, and a purpose to just better myself, which I so enjoy again. If you’re in the same situation I was in, don’t hesitate to take action. I’ve made it and you can, too. 4. What does the author think played an important role in her weight gain? A.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。叙述了作者从体重增加、自我意识到要改变，再到通过跑步实现自我提升和转变的过程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“My weight gain began while I was in veterinary (兽医的) school at Purdue University ten years ago, and it continued to increase quickly once I got married and had three children, all while running my own photography business. Needless to say, my busy schedule and caring for others took away from caring for myself.(十年前，我在普渡大学兽医学院上学时，体重开始增加，在我结婚并有了三个孩子后，体重继续迅速增加，同时我还经营着自己的摄影生意。不用说，我繁忙的日程和对他人的关心使我失去了对自己的关心)”可知，作者认为她体重增加的重要原因是结婚后的生活非常忙碌。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“My turning point took place on January 20, 2021. It was the day before my husband and I celebrated our ninth anniversary (周年纪念日) that I decided to better myself. I was 32 years old and over 260 pounds. I thought to myself, “My kids are so little, and the route I am on isn’t going to allow me to be here long enough to watch them grow in life.”(我的转折点发生在2021年1月20日。在我和丈夫庆祝我们结婚九周年纪念日的前一天，我决定让自己变得更好。当时我32岁，体重超过260磅。我对自己说：“我的孩子还这么小，我现在走的这条路不允许我在这里呆足够长的时间，看着他们长大。”)”可知，作者怕自己不能看着自己的孩子长大，也就是担心自己会早死，从而决定减肥。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数二段“Running has helped my mind and soul in more ways than one, and I’m so grateful for that. Running has given me a purpose again — a purpose to be a better mom, a purpose to be a better wife, a purpose to do better with my career, and a purpose to just better myself, which I so enjoy again.(跑步又给了我一个目标——一个成为一个更好的母亲的目标，一个成为一个更好的妻子的目标，一个在事业上做得更好的目标，一个让自己变得更好的目标，我再次享受到了这一点)”可知，作者开始跑步后，跑步给了她一个目标，使她她对自己的生活充满希望。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you’re in the same situation I was in, don’t hesitate to take action. I’ve made it and you can, too.(如果你和我处于同样的情况，不要犹豫，采取行动。我做到了，你也可以)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是鼓励有体重问题的人。故选D项。 C Well over half of the average diet in the UK and US now consists of ultra-processed food (UPF) — or, as one scientist prefers to put it, industrially produced edible (可食用的) substances. Though defining it technically is complex, the simple explanation is that it contains items you wouldn’t normally find in a kitchen. Sometimes UPF looks like junk food obviously artificial and high in salt, fat and sugar. But it often comes in reliable forms such as soup, muesli or yogurt. Unfortunately, almost every food that comes with a health claim on the packet is UPF. And a vast body of data has emerged in support of the theory that UPF damages the human body and increases rates of cancer, mental illness, etc. Produced by a handful of multinational companies, UPF is created to be cheap to produce and transport, with industrially derived (提取的) substances replacing costlier ingredients (原料) and ensuring long shelf lives. It is also designed to make us buy more — essential in a system where businesses must keep growing to satisfy their shareholders each quarter. Global consumption is rising fast, especially in middle-income countries. The impact is firstly on individual bodies, but through them on health services. This is a social problem that cannot be solved by telling consumers to check product labels. UPF consumption is not propelled by laziness or greed, but poverty, intensive marketing and foods designed to make us keep eating: Taking on big food is harder than tackling big tobacco has been. It requires addressing a broad range of products that many people cannot simply cut out. But it is possible and necessary. Addressing poverty is central: when people can afford to eat more healthily, they generally do. The government should ensure that people learn not only about the risks of UPF, but also about how to eat well. Measures should be taken to ensure that the food consumption is pushed by nutritional needs and appetites — not by financialised growth. 8. What can we know about UPF? A. It can’t be found in a kitchen. B. It looks like junk food but is healthy. C. It is most popular in rich countries. D. It may harm physical and mental health. 9. What does the underlined word “propelled” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Forbidden. B. Proved. C. Driven. D. Assessed. 10. What is a possible way to deal with the UPF problem? A. To handle the tobacco problem first. B. To limit the production of UPF. C. To ban people from consuming UPF. D. To raise people’s awareness of healthy diet. 11 What can be a suitable title for the text? A. UPF: Blame Businesses, Not Consumers B. UPF: Convenience Food C. UPF: Time to Reach More People D. UPF: A Sensitive Issue 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文通过对超加工食品特点及危害的介绍、兴起原因的分析、解决办法的探讨等阐述了对超加工食品的看法：应归咎于市场和企业，而不是消费者。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第二段中的“And a vast body of data has emerged in support of the theory that UPF damages the human body and increases rates of cancer, mental illness, etc.(大量数据支持UPF损害人体，并增加癌症、精神疾病等发病率的理论)”可知，超加工食品对人们的身心健康都有可能带来危害。故选 D。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。结合画线词后“but poverty, intensive marketing and foods designed to make us keep eating(而是由贫穷、密集的营销和旨在让我们不断吃的食物驱动的)”可知，画线词所在的语句要表达的是“UPF的消费不是由懒惰或贪婪驱动的，而是由贫穷、密集的市场营销和旨在让我们不停吃下去的食物驱动的”。由此可猜测出画线词表示“驱动，促使”，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的最后两句“The government should ensure that people learn not only about the risks of UPF, but also about how to eat well. Measures should be taken to ensure that the food consumption is pushed by nutritional needs and appetites — not by financialised growth.(政府应该确保人们不仅了解UPF的风险，还了解如何吃得好。应采取措施，确保食品消费是由营养需求和胃口推动的——而不是由金融化增长推动的)”可知，作者倡导要采取措施让消费者了解如何吃得健康，从而让他们能从自己的营养需求和胃口出发去消费。D项“提高人们对健康饮食的意识”符合这一倡导，故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第四段中“This is a social problem that cannot be solved by telling consumers to check product labels. UPF consumption is not propelled by laziness or greed, but poverty, intensive marketing and foods designed to make us keep eating(这是一个社会问题，不能通过告诉消费者检查产品标签来解决。UPF消费不是由懒惰或贪婪推动的，而是由贫穷、密集的营销和旨在让我们不断吃的食物推动的)”可知，作者认为超加工食品的盛行应归咎于市场和企业，而不是消费者。 故选 A。 D Do you remember being asked what you wanted to be when you grew up? No doubt the more imaginative your answer, the more approval you would get. But once we reach adolescence (青春期), there’s far less tolerance for answers like, “I’m going to be a marine biologist, circus clown and journalist!” Now the question translates as You are allowed one identity in this life, so which is it? At university you need to choose a subject to major in, which leads to one specific degree, intended for one type of job. The message that you need to specialise is reinforced (强化) in many contexts. Career guidance books and counsellors give you tests to help you identify your dream job. But what happens if you’re curious about several subjects, and there are many things you’d like to study? If you’re unable or unwilling to settle on a single career path, you might worry that you don’t have one true calling like everybody else and that, therefore, your life lacks purpose. As the saying goes, you’re a “jack of all trades, master of none”. In reality, the ambitious young people of today are more interested in moving around and doing different things. In the modern workplace, people are working flexibly and the individual is in control of their professional life and in a position to make decision s about how, when and where they work. Rather than finding something and doing it forever, the new challenge is to find a way of working that works for you. This new flexible workplace is one where generalists feel at ease. People who have a range of interests are suited to the modern workplace in two essential ways. Firstly, they are used to combining two or more fields and it is at the intersection (十字路口) between seemingly unrelated ideas that innovation often happens. Secondly, people who change roles frequently are less afraid of trying new things and stepping out of their comfort zones. They’re fast learners. 12. What does the author say about university students? A. They tend to lose their imagination. B. They feel pressured to choose a speciality. C. They could benefit from career counselling. D. They find it impossible to make decisions independently. 13. What does the author suggest in the third paragraph? A. People refuse to choose a career on purpose. B. Everybody should find a passion and stick to it. C. You’ll never succeed unless you find your dream job. D. Some people may be unsure what career they really like. 14. What are people like in the modern workplace? A. They rarely decide what they want to do. B. They prefer to stay in the same profession. C. They are constantly challenged to change jobs. D. They are taking control of how they work. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. The importance of continuous learning. B. Advantages of generalists in the future workplace. C. Ways the modern workplace makes use of flexible workers. D. The relationship between personal interests and career choices 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了现代职场的灵活性以及兴趣广泛的人在这种职场中的优势。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“At university you need to choose a subject to major in, which leads to one specific degree, intended for one type of job. The message that you need to specialise is reinforced (强化) in many contexts. Career guidance books and counsellors give you tests to help you identify your dream job.(在大学里，你需要选择一个专业，这就导致了一个特定的学位，针对一种类型的工作。你需要专业化的信息在很多情况下都得到了强化。职业指导书籍和咨询师会给你一些测试来帮助你找到理想的工作。)”可推知，大学生感到被迫选择一个专业，即他们感到有压力要选择一个专业领域。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But what happens if you’re curious about several subjects, and there are many things you’d like to study? If you’re unable or unwilling to settle on a single career path, you might worry that you don’t have one true calling like everybody else and that, therefore, your life lacks purpose.(但如果你对好几门学科都很好奇，而且你想学的东西很多，那该怎么办呢?如果你不能或不愿意在单一的职业道路上安定下来，你可能会担心你不像其他人那样有一个真正的使命，因此，你的生活缺乏目标。)”可推知，第三段暗示了有些人可能不确定他们真正喜欢的职业是什么。故选D。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“In reality, the ambitious young people of today are more interested in moving around and doing different things. In the modern workplace, people are working flexibly and the individual is in control of their professional life and in a position to make decision s about how, when and where they work.(在现实中，今天雄心勃勃的年轻人更感兴趣的是四处走动，做不同的事情。在现代工作场所，人们的工作方式很灵活，个人可以控制自己的职业生涯，可以决定如何工作、何时工作和在哪里工作。)”可知，现代职场的人正在控制自己的工作方式。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“This new flexible workplace is one where generalists feel at ease. People who have a range of interests are suited to the modern workplace in two essential ways.(这种新的灵活的工作场所是一个让通才感到放松的地方。有广泛兴趣的人在两个重要方面适合现代职场。)”可知，最后一段主要讨论了通才在未来职场中的优势。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。 There is much conversation about boundaries these days, but what exactly are boundaries? Simply put, boundaries are limits we personally set in order to protect our physical, emotional, and mental health, and they can be set with ourselves, with others, or with both. ____16____ — physical boundaries, emotional boundaries, and time or effort boundaries. ____17____. They help us to protect ourselves from harm - keep us safe. They also help us to maintain our sense of self and feeling of control over our lives. ____18____. The most common reason is that your boundary may mean someone else’s disappointment. Here are some tips when you are setting boundaries. Initially, be clear and direct. The more clear and direct you are, the more others will be able to respect the boundaries you set. “I’m heading home today at 5 pm” will be understood more clearly than “I need to head home sometime around 5 or 5: 30 pm.” ____19____. We can’t expect people to respect our boundaries if we don’t respect theirs. Further more, be willing for others not to like the boundaries you set. At first, this can feel difficult. But ultimately other people will respect you more for having clear boundaries and know what to expect from the relationship, which will become healthier and stronger. ____20____. Once you set boundaries, it’s important to maintain them. At the beginning, it may feel challenging to set and maintain them, but eventually, they can become second nature and we find ourselves in relationships built on mutual respect and care-the kind of relationships we all want to be in. A. Or it will need to end B. Boundaries have cons and pros C. Then be respectful of others’ boundaries D. Naturally, they may be met with resistance E. There are many different types of boundaries F. Boundaries are important part of a healthy life G. However, people often have a difficult time setting them 【答案】16. E 17. F 18. G 19. C 20.

The performers from both schools did their best to entertain the audience with song after song. Their performances are undoubtedly of high quality, which makes the concert almost no different from a live one.

I took Isla as a smart, funny friend, but not all students at our school did, especially the girl students. Girls in our school wore fashionable branded clothes, but Isla sewed hers and her curly hair and thick glasses made her look like a fish, which made her stand out like a sore thumb(招眼). For me, sometimes I felt embarrassed to be around Isla, particularly when students said rude words about her hair, clothes, glasses—even about the fact that she got really good grades. Isla always seemed to be able to ignore what other students thought, but I couldn’t. I began to distance myself from her. Our school had a tradition—there was a talent show every spring. Students would sing, dance, play musical instruments, and do whatever they could to show their talents. Being our graduation season in this senior school, this year’s talent show would be obviously different. It would be a huge night. Ava, who was an outgoing girl, invited me to be on her dance team. “We win the talent show every year, and we expect a satisfactory graduation this year,” Ava said to me excitedly. “We need a new dancer. But only you, not her!” Ava pointed to someone behind me. I didn’t need to turn around to see who she meant. “Oh, I see,” I said quietly. Ava had hardly headed out when someone tapped on my shoulder. It was Isla. When I saw her confused face, it was like waking up from a dream. Isla asked me eagerly, “Emily, are you going to take part in the talent show?” I hesitated without response. “That’s great, Emily!” Isla told me without waiting for my answer that she was also going to participate this year. I couldn’t believe what I had heard. I started to worry about her when I imagined that she was in front of a huge crowd, and that everybody would laugh at her. Time passed quickly, and I had barely seen Isla since then. For me, I had to practice hard every day with Ava and the team to keep up since the other dancers had already known the steps. 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。 Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Ultimately, it was my turn to perform, and I felt extremely nervous. I didn’t want to be regarded as different from the others. Isla walked to me and hugged me tightly. “Come on, Emily!” Isla encouraged me. “I believe you will do great because you are a wonderful dancer. Don’t care too much about what others think. Just trust yourself.” Soon, I took my place on the stage. I remembered every step and every move. When the music was over, the crowd burst into cheers. At that moment, I felt like a dancing queen! I stepped off the stage and expressed my thanks to Isla, who was ready to sing. I was a little worried at the beginning because the crowd became restless. Luckily, Isla ignored it. I stood up, shouting, “Isla, you are the best!” Her homemade dress was shining in the light, but her eyes were clouded with tears. When Isla’s singing died down, all the students were still lost in her unique voice. Some even began singing like her, and then more. Their singing resounded around the hall. I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her cheerfully. That was enough! We could never be distanced. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，以人物为线索。作者和Isla是好朋友，但Isla的着装打扮与学校时尚的女孩格格不入，她们总是对她评头论足。Isla对别人的看法毫不在意，但作者觉得很尴尬，慢慢疏远了Isla。作者被Ava邀请一起参加才艺表演，Isla也打算参加。在表演当天，作者非常紧张，Isla鼓励了作者，这让作者顺利完成了精彩的表演，而Isla在舞台上穿着自制的服装演唱着动听的歌曲，获得了大家的认可。这件事让俩人重新变得亲密起来。 【详解】1. 续写线索： ①由续写第一段首句“最终，轮到我表演了，我感到非常紧张。”可知，第一段可以描写Isla的鼓励让作者成功完成了表演。 ②由续写第二段首句“我走下舞台，向准备唱歌的Isla表示感谢。”可知，第二段可以描写在Isla上台表演之前，作者向她表示了感谢，并为她加油，Isla用自己优美的歌声震撼了大家，二人关系重新变得亲密起来。 2. 段落续写：紧张——受到Isla的鼓励——成功完成表演——向Isla感谢——为Isla加油——Isla用优美的歌声征服了大家——二人重归于好 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①被认为：be regarded as/be thought of as/be seen as ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③在意：care about/take notice of/mind ④逐渐变淡：die down/fade away 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/concerned ②高兴地：cheerfully /merrily ③紧张的：nervous/jittery 【点睛】【高分句型1】Don’t care too much about what others think.(使用了祈使句、what引导宾语从句) 【高分句型2】I rushed to the stage after her performance, hugging her cheerfully.(使用了现在分词作状语) 1—5 ABCAB 6—10 CACAC 11—15 BABAB 16—20 ACBCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
