03 单元限时小卷 建议用时：56分钟 1 [河北秦皇岛一中2024高一月考] I was attending a weekend workshop. What the leader asked us to follow was simple enough. She was a good teacher—she described what we had to do, then showed us how, then asked us to do it—that’s a typical teaching method. But I was finding the do part far more difficult and stressful than I had expected. I was outside my comfort zone, feeling awkward and uncertain. I tried to follow her directions, but I made mistakes in front of the others, and it felt embarrassing. Here’s the thing: Although the act of learning is related to abilities, behaviour and methods, the experience of learning is emotional （激起感情的）. And it’s the emotional experience of learning—of being a beginner and making mistakes, often publicly—that keeps people from even trying to learn. While learning may not be that hard, being a beginner can be very hard, especially when we see ourselves, and want to be seen by others in a group, as skilled and confident. Being awkward can even feel shameful. But it’s just a stage we have to go through in order to become graceful and competent. And our unwillingness to experience this stage can stop our future growth. This is especially true of areas where you’re already an expert. 刷阅读理解 2 Though I have taught leadership programmes for 30 years, I still spend at least three weeks every year going to various personal development programmes. More often than not, I, like a beginner, try new skills, feeling awkward and even ashamed of not being better at a skill. And those are hard feelings to feel. But they are the unavoidable growing pains that come with learning, developing, and becoming better at something. I wish, by the end of the weekend workshop, I could be completely comfortable and relaxed in all my activities. But that’s not the case. Maybe I’m a little more comfortable. But learning takes time and comfort takes experience. There is one thing the workshop made me more comfortable doing: staying in the discomfort of learning long enough to learn. 刷阅读理解 3 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过讲述自己对学习的感受，说明了学习行为虽然与能力、行为和方法有关系，但是学习的情感体验在学习的过程中起到更加重要的作用，学习应该感受到不舒服，不应一直待在舒适区。 1.How does the author introduce the topic of the text?( ) A A.By sharing a personal experience.

If you’re considering joining the online fitness community, consider these benefits and drawbacks. One of the most popular reasons for working out following an online video is that it offers great convenience. No need to roll out of bed at 5 am to attend that 6 am boot camp class, which may end up being full when you arrive. 1. . And what if you’re on the road? No problem. You can access your workout video through your phone. 2. . Most online fitness programmes are much less expensive than similar offline programmes—most range in cost between $10 and $20 per month. Some are even free. For example, the online Les Mills+ programme offers a free 30-day trial of its 1,500-plus workouts. Online training also has broad offerings. When you head online, you have instructors from around the globe all ready and willing to help you master your favourite movements. 3. . Just because there isn’t a Krav Maga （以色列近身格斗术） class in your area doesn’t mean you can’t go online to find one led by qualified instructors. E A C 刷7选5 8 All these are undoubtedly positive—online training provides fitness resources to general consumers wherever they are, without requiring access to a gym or fitness studio. 4. . Very few online fitness programmes enable the instructor to see you, check your form, and offer corrections based on your performance. 5. . This is particularly concerning for beginners, as they’re more likely to do incorrectly. Besides, if you struggle with self-motivation and prefer a social workout environment, online fitness may not be for you. A.Another is the price. B.But it’s not without problems. C.The same goes for different types of exercise. D.However, online personal training isn’t for everyone. E.Instead, you can turn it on at home at your convenience. F.That being said, online workouts aren’t perfect when it comes to safety. G.This means you could perform exercises wrongly, or even unsafely, without knowing it.

My husband and I recently made a cross-country move with our young child Tom. Our neighbours were an old couple, Mr Smith and Mrs Smith, who were kind and friendly. Our new home was in a mess. “We should start thinking about plans for Thanksgiving,” I suggested. “Don’t worry about it,” my husband said. “Heat up some hot dogs, maybe with some cheese, and the kid will be happy.” That sounded great. I was in relief! In the past holidays, I had never been responsible for cooking a full Thanksgiving dinner. My job was always to bring drinks or a side dish (items that had the highest success rate) to a large gathering and help clean up after the meal. 刷读后续写 23 But one day my son Tom happily showed newly-created turkey crafts. “Let’s go on a walk and try to find a rock that looks like a turkey!” Tom shouted at me. “Take me on a walk, Mummy!” The excitement was building, and I had a feeling that hot dogs were not going to be enough for my child on Thanksgiving. “I’m going to try and prepare Thanksgiving food, Leonard,” I said to my husband late one night. He eyed me curiously. “You sure?” Then he said, “Okay, then, if you think you can do it.” I said, “I’ve got two days to prepare. The grocery store is open twenty-four hours. I’m going to the store!” Unfortunately, only a huge turkey remained, so I had no choice but to buy a thirty-pound turkey. Early the next morning, I dragged （拖；拉） the bagged turkey home. When my family saw it, they got a big surprise at its size. Seeing the surprise on their faces, I realised there was no way we could finish the turkey. It was too big for my family. “There was only one turkey left in the store,” I explained. “But how could we finish the turkey?” I asked my husband and Tom. 刷读后续写 24 注意：续写词数应为150个左右。 Tom said we could invite our neighbours, Mr and Mrs Smith, to share with us. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, Mr and Mrs Smith came to my house with a big smile on their faces.__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 刷读后续写 25 【写作提示】 1.材料导读 材料大意 本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在感恩节到来的前几周和丈夫带着年幼的孩子汤姆搬家，搬家后的邻居是一对友好的老夫妇。尽管作者不擅长烹饪,但她仍然想为孩子准备一些感恩节的食物。 故事背景 作者和家人刚刚搬完家，遇到了友好的邻居；作者第一次认真地着手准备感恩节大餐。 主要角色 作者和家人、邻居史密斯夫妇 写作顺序 时间顺序 需要解决的问题 作者一家刚刚搬到一个新的环境，如何度过第一个感恩节；作者买了一只非常大的火鸡，一家人无法吃完。 刷读后续写 26 2.续写分析 续写第一段（提示句：汤姆说我们可以邀请邻居史密斯夫妇和我们一起分享。） 由续写第一段提示内容可知，第一段可描写作者一家人邀请史密斯夫妇一起来度过感恩节，可以重点描写作者一家人为了迎接史密斯夫妇来做客所做的准备（如打扫房间、准备感恩节大餐等）；可以补充有关史密斯夫妇的细节（如家庭环境、生活日常等）。 续写第二段（提示句：不久，史密斯夫妇带着灿烂的笑容来到我家。） 由续写第二段提示内容可知，史密斯夫妇接受了邀请，一起来到作者家中。第二段可以围绕两家人一起为节日做准备（如史密斯夫妇帮忙准备大餐、帮忙装饰房间等），一起度过了这个感恩节。本段可重点描写和睦的气氛以及两家人的互动和节日过程中发生的事等。 续写线索 邀请史密斯夫妇一起过感恩节——作者一家为迎接客人做准备——史密斯夫妇来做客，一起帮忙准备大餐——两家人一起愉快地度过节日 刷读后续写 27 【参考范文】 Tom said we could invite our neighbours, Mr and Mrs Smith, to share with us. “I found the old couple were very lonely because no one had paid a visit to them since we moved here. Besides, I didn’t see them buy anything for Thanksgiving,” Tom said. Knowing that, we reached an agreement on inviting the couple. Tom was responsible for the invitation and my husband and I were in charge of dinner. Realising it would take hours to cook, we busied ourselves making an entire dinner. Soon, Mr and Mrs Smith came to my house with a big smile on their faces. They greeted us and we made introductions to each other. Seeing my husband and I were clumsy at preparing dinner, the couple offered to give us a hand. With the help of them, a fancy dinner was done. Obviously Mrs Smith had a great talent for cooking. As a special treat, I laid out a beautiful red tablecloth, candles and our best china. We gathered around the table, eating delicious Thanksgiving dinner and making a promise to spend Christmas together next time. 刷读后续写 28 $$
