But Bou Samnan g was running for her country — Cambodia — so she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she is being considered as an inspiration. “I knew I was losing. The rain was so heavy. I had the right to abandon the race, but first I had a duty to represent Cambodia. So I did not give up,” she said afterward. “I tried to reach the finish line because I also wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same.” News of Bou Samnang’s persistence spread rapidly: sports and news outlets around the world shared a video of her finishing the women’s 5000-meter race on May 8 at the Southeast Asian Games, which Cambodia was hosting for the first time. In the video, the roar of rainfall is punctuated by cheers and shouts of encouragement as Bou Samnang finally nears and then crosses the finish line, almost six minutes behind the winner, Vietnam’s Thi Oanh Nguyen. Bou Samnang clasped her hands to acknowledge the fans who braved the rain to cheer her on, her face wet with tears and rain as she lifted her country’s flag. Since the race, Bou Samnang has continued to win fans in Cambodia and beyond. The runner’s persistence was also noted by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing. And he announced the athlete would get $10,000 as a reward. As for what she’ll do with the money from Cambodia’s strongman leader, she said she wanted to pay off her mother’s debts. 4. Why did Samnang continue running despite the long decided race? A. She was accompanied and encouraged by her fans. B. She was determined to beat the Vietnamese runner. C. She needed the prize to pay off her mother’s debts. D. She hoped to show people the true spirit of sports. 5. For what did Samnang get $10,000 as a reward? A. Having so many fans. B. Her strong determination. C. Winning the competition. D. Her contributions to the country. 6. Which of the following can best describe Samnang? A. Proud and optimistic. B. Strong-willed and dutiful. C. Confident and competitive. D. Cheerful and hardworking. 7. What does the author want to convey through the text? A. Persistence can really make a difference. B. A hero is known in the time of misfortune. C. Winning matters more than losing in sports. D. Friendship comes first and competition second. C From “gig-tripping” to “travel dupes” to “hush trips,” the number of new travel trends is seemingly endless. But perhaps the most appealing concept in the tourism space of late is the “sleepeation”. So much of travel these days seems to involve running ourselves ragged trying to hit every amazing attraction we see on TikTok and Instagram. Sleepcations, however, take the polar opposite approach to vacation. According to Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report, nearly 50% of American travelers surveyed say they are more willing to take a vacation with the intention to get a good night or a few good nights of sleep now compared to a few years ago. The research also showed that sleeping topped the list of U. S. travelers’ main activities for their next vacation, outranking shopping, nightlife and wildlife spotting. While some wellness resorts have been focusing on sleep for years, now more and more resorts and hotels, from luxury to lifestyle and even budget-friendly properties, are making sure that sleep is as the forefront of a stay. The Malibu Beach Inn in Southern California features two designated “sleep suites”, and the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Hawaii’s Big Island offers an 80-minute “sweet dreams” massage treatment meant to promote a good night’s rest. Virgin Hotels Dallasoffers blackout curtains in each room and bedtime amenities(便利设施)like bath bombs and relaxation spray. Although these amenities and services might seem like unnecessary luxuries, the reality is that doing whatever you can to prioritize sleep is quite important. “Most people don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night,” noted Danielle Desir Corbett, a luxury travel and personal finance expert. “Over time, this ‘sleep debt’ can have serious health implications, affecting cognitive(认知的)function, mood, weight, and immune systems. Sleep is even linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Sleepeations focus on rest and rejuvenation and can be a powerful tool in preventing health issues.” 8. What did Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report find? A. Travelers are more mindful of their sleep health. B. The travelers’ activities are more and more varied. C. Only a few travelers are interested in sleep tourism. D. Sleep is good for our physical and mental wellness. 9. Why does the author mention the hotels in Paragraph 3? A. To show us the luxuries of the hotels. B. To emphasize the importance of sleep. C. To prove the popularity of sleepcation. D. To make an advertisement for the hotels. 10. What is Danielle Desir Corbett’s attitude towards sleepcation? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Approving. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Sleepcation: Enrich Your Vacation Activities B. Sleepcation: Be an Important Part of Your Life C. Sleepcation: Boo st the Development of Tourism D. Sleepcation: Get a Vacation from Your Vacation D Smartphones enable our desire for ease and convenience. But sometimes-whether it’s running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or assembling furniture — we willingly choose difficulty over ease. Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, calls this the effort paradox. While we often avoid hard work, other times we value it, viewing things as more rewarding if we have to work for them. This phenomenon extends beyond extreme pursuits like mountain climbing or marathon running. Many individuals seek out challenging activities such as puzzles or crosswords because the effort itself is enjoyable. This appreciation of effort is deep-rooted in our brains, as dopamine (多巴胺) encourages us to value tasks that demand perseverance and dedication. “Sometimes effort is the only way that you can test yourself,” says Inzlicht. In a study by a psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine, mice learned to poke (捅，推) their noses into a hole to obtain juice. When the number of pokes it took to receive juice was raised, or mild electric shocks were given, more dopamine was released in the striatum, a brain region important for motivation and experiencing reward. It also found that people rewarded for choosing a more difficult task opt (选择) for the difficult version the next time, even if it no longer comes with a reward. This appreciation of hard work transfers to unrelated tasks, from school and sports to work and parenting. Still, putting down our phones and seeking exertion may be difficult at first. Anna Lembke, a psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine, suggests building it into our schedule and doing it with friends or for a greater good, like running a race for charity or biking to save gas. “Sometimes the same effort can become boring and frustrating, so keep it fresh: find a new park to walk through or save a favorite show or podcast for the gym. We can strive (力争) for a healthier balance between seeking pleasure and embracing challenges,” Lembke says. “We are born to strive, but it’s up to us to channel that drive in a sustainable and fulfilling way.” 12. Which belongs to the phenomenon of the effort paradox? A. Staying in an unsatisfying yet relatively stable job. B. Throwing ourselves on the sofa after a tiring workday. C. Eating high-calorie food even though we are overweight. D. Hiking mountains even though we can take the cable car. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The mice are fast learners. B. Effort is costly but valued. C. Hard work always pays off. D. We feel safe in the comfort zone. 14. What does the underlined word “exertion” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Convenience. B. Pleasure. C. Effort. D. Assistance. 15. What does Lembke suggest in the last paragraph? A. Avoiding ease and convenience at all costs. B. Keeping a balance between your life and work. C. Never giving up and persevering in face of difficulties. D. Finding something stimulating to finish effortful matters. 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。 Most of us experience self-doubt at times—it’s a normal reaction that often arises out of our desire to accomplish our goals in life. A lack of belief in yourself can cause you to give up important opportunities, impact your relationships, and affect your mental health. ____16____ The following tips can help you find the roots of your self-doubt, build confidence in your abilities, and value yourself more highly. Often, the first step in overcoming self-doubt is expressing your feelings so that you can better understand and address them. Talking with a friend, family, or mental health professional can help you get to the root of your concerns and start to improve your self-esteem (自尊). ____17____ For example, they could help you realize that your lack of faith in your abilities comes from childhood insecurities that are still affecting you; or they could simply help you see your value by pointing out your proficiency and positive qualities. Try to surround yourself with people who have a positive mindset and want to see you succeed. ____18____ Are you happy, motivated, optimistic after interacting with them? Or are you unsure of yourself, anxious, or pessimistic? If there are people in your life who cause you to feel self-doubt, consider setting boundaries or limiting the time you spend with them. You deserve to have healthy, positive relationships that build your self-esteem. ____19____ Consider writing down three successes that you had during the day each night before bed. They don’t need to be major milestones—just anything that improved your life, helped you take the next step in your pursuits, or made you proud of yourself. ____20____ As you continue this practice, it will likely become easier for you to recognize your successes, which can help you build self-assurance and decrease self-doubt. A. You always place high expectation on yourself. B But it is also something that can be addressed and controlled. C. Think about how you feel after spending time with certain people. D. They could be as simple as preparing dinner for your family or exercising. E. Another person may have a unique perspective of your abilities that you ignored. F. Taking note of your achievements every day can help you increase your confidence. G. Try to forgive yourself, let go of the past, and move forward with a positive mindset. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Oliver, from New Zealand, is only 7 years old, but he sometimes feels left out and different from the other kids he knows.

He spent most of his time with his family, especially with his older sister Abby. They would run around in the fields together, climb trees, and catch insects. One day, Sammy’s parents sat him down for an important talk. They told him that they were moving to the big city so that they could be closer to their jobs. At first, Sammy didn’t understand what that meant or how it would change things for him. But soon enough, he realized that everything was going to be different. He wouldn’t have as much space to run around in like he did in their small town. And worst of all—he’d have to start a new school! Sammy had never been very good at making friends quickly—it always took some time before people warmed up to him and vice versa (反之亦然). So when he thought about starting over again somewhere new, it made him feel pretty anxious. He tried talking to Abby about it but she seemed excited about the move—she jumped at the idea of exploring new places and meeting new people! But Sammy couldn’t shake off this feeling: what if nobody liked him? what if everyone else already had friends? As they packed up their belongings into boxes ready for their journey ahead, Sammy felt sad saying goodbye to everything familiar: the old oak tree by the riverbank which he used to sit on during summer afternoons; the bakery shop owner who always gave them free cookies on Saturdays. It was hard to let go of all those memories they shared together. Sammy’s family finally lived in the big city. Everything seemed so different from what he was used to in their small town. The buildings were taller, the streets were busier, and there were people everywhere. Sammy was feeling really nervous about starting school. He had never been to a big school before, and he didn’t know anyone there. 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。 Then, his sister Abby noticed how worried he was. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, with Abby sick, Sammy decided to try making friends by himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024 年上学期高二期末考试 英语 本试卷共8页。全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在本试卷和答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应的答案标号涂黑，如有改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案；回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。 例：How much is the shirt?

The race was long decided, and rain was falling in floods. But Bou Samnan g was running for her country — Cambodia — so she kept going, racing alone on a track in Phnom Penh. And for that, she is being considered as an inspiration. “I knew I was losing. The rain was so heavy. I had the right to abandon the race, but first I had a duty to represent Cambodia. So I did not give up,” she said afterward. “I tried to reach the finish line because I also wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same.” News of Bou Samnang’s persistence spread rapidly: sports and news outlets around the world shared a video of her finishing the women’s 5000-meter race on May 8 at the Southeast Asian Games, which Cambodia was hosting for the first time. In the video, the roar of rainfall is punctuated by cheers and shouts of encouragement as Bou Samnang finally nears and then crosses the finish line, almost six minutes behind the winner, Vietnam’s Thi Oanh Nguyen. Bou Samnang clasped her hands to acknowledge the fans who braved the rain to cheer her on, her face wet with tears and rain as she lifted her country’s flag. Since the race, Bou Samnang has continued to win fans in Cambodia and beyond. The runner’s persistence was also noted by Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, who said he was proud of her for reminding everyone that sports are about more than winning and losing. And he announced the athlete would get $10,000 as a reward. As for what she’ll do with the money from Cambodia’s strongman leader, she said she wanted to pay off her mother’s debts. 4.

The rain was so heavy. I had the right to abandon the race, but first I had a duty to represent Cambodia. So I did not give up,” she said afterward. “I tried to reach the finish line because I also wanted to show people that in life, even though we go a bit slow or fast, we will reach our destination all the same.”(“我知道我输了。雨下得很大。我有权放弃比赛，但首先我有责任代表柬埔寨。所以我没有放弃，”她后来说。“我试图到达终点线，因为我也想告诉人们，在生活中，即使我们走得有点慢或有点快，我们都会到达目的地。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了柬埔寨选手Bou Samnang在一场长跑比赛中坚持不放弃的感人故事。由此推知，作者想通过文章表达坚持真的会有不同。故选A。 C From “gig-tripping” to “travel dupes” to “hush trips,” the number of new travel trends is seemingly endless. But perhaps the most appealing concept in the tourism space of late is the “sleepeation”. So much of travel these days seems to involve running ourselves ragged trying to hit every amazing attraction we see on TikTok and Instagram. Sleepcations, however, take the polar opposite approach to vacation. According to Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report, nearly 50% of American travelers surveyed say they are more willing to take a vacation with the intention to get a good night or a few good nights of sleep now compared to a few years ago. The research also showed that sleeping topped the list of U. S. travelers’ main activities for their next vacation, outranking shopping, nightlife and wildlife spotting. While some wellness resorts have been focusing on sleep for years, now more and more resorts and hotels, from luxury to lifestyle and even budget-friendly properties, are making sure that sleep is as the forefront of a stay. The Malibu Beach Inn in Southern California features two designated “sleep suites”, and the Four Seasons Resort Hualalai on Hawaii’s Big Island offers an 80-minute “sweet dreams” massage treatment meant to promote a good night’s rest. Virgin Hotels Dallasoffers blackout curtains in each room and bedtime amenities(便利设施)like bath bombs and relaxation spray. Although these amenities and services might seem like unnecessary luxuries, the reality is that doing whatever you can to prioritize sleep is quite important. “Most people don’t get the recommended seven to nine hours of sleep per night,” noted Danielle Desir Corbett, a luxury travel and personal finance expert. “Over time, this ‘sleep debt’ can have serious health implications, affecting cognitive(认知的)function, mood, weight, and immune systems. Sleep is even linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity and hypertension. Sleepeations focus on rest and rejuvenation and can be a powerful tool in preventing health issues.” 8. What did Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report find? A. Travelers are more mindful of their sleep health. B. The travelers’ activities are more and more varied. C. Only a few travelers are interested in sleep tourism. D. Sleep is good for our physical and mental wellness. 9. Why does the author mention the hotels in Paragraph 3? A. To show us the luxuries of the hotels. B. To emphasize the importance of sleep. C. To prove the popularity of sleepcation. D. To make an advertisement for the hotels. 10. What is Danielle Desir Corbett’s attitude towards sleepcation? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Opposed. D. Approving. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Sleepcation: Enrich Your Vacation Activities B. Sleepcation: Be an Important Part of Your Life C. Sleepcation: Boo st the Development of Tourism D. Sleepcation: Get a Vacation from Your Vacation 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍睡眠度假概念并建议我们应该在度假中考虑睡眠问题。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。由文章第二段“According to Skyscanner’s 2024 travel trends report, nearly 50% of American travelers surveyed say they are more willing to take a vacation with the intention to get a good night or a few good nights of sleep now compared to a few years ago. (根据Skyscanner的2024年旅游趋势报告，与几年前相比，近50%的受访美国游客表示，他们现在更愿意度假，目的是睡个好觉。)”可知，旅行者更注意自己的睡眠健康。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“While some wellness resorts have been focusing on sleep for years, now more and more resorts and hotels, from luxury to lifestyle and even budget-friendly properties, are making sure that sleep is as the forefront of a stay.(虽然一些健康度假村多年来一直专注于睡眠，但现在越来越多的度假村和酒店，从豪华到生活方式，甚至是经济实惠的酒店，都在确保睡眠是住宿的首要内容。)”可知，作者提到旅馆是为了证明睡眠度假的流行。故选C项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Sleepeations focus on rest and rejuvenation and can be a powerful tool in preventing health issues.(睡眠度假侧重于休息和恢复活力，是预防健康问题的有力工具。)”可知，Danielle Desir Corbett是赞成睡眠度假的。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。由文章第一段“So much of travel these days seems to involve running ourselves ragged trying to hit every amazing attraction we see on TikTok and Instagram. Sleepcations, however, take the polar opposite approach to vacation.(这些天的大部分旅行似乎都是为了达到我们在TikTok和Instagram上看到的每一个令人惊叹的景点而疲惫不堪。然而，睡眠度假对度假采取了截然相反的方式。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍睡眠度假概念并建议我们应该在度假中考虑睡眠问题。所以D项Sleepcation: Get a Vacation from Your Vacation(睡眠度假：从度假中获得假期休息)符合语境。故选D项。 D Smartphones enable our desire for ease and convenience. But sometimes-whether it’s running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or assembling furniture — we willingly choose difficulty over ease. Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, calls this the effort paradox. While we often avoid hard work, other times we value it, viewing things as more rewarding if we have to work for them. This phenomenon extends beyond extreme pursuits like mountain climbing or marathon running. Many individuals seek out challenging activities such as puzzles or crosswords because the effort itself is enjoyable. This appreciation of effort is deep-rooted in our brains, as dopamine (多巴胺) encourages us to value tasks that demand perseverance and dedication. “Sometimes effort is the only way that you can test yourself,” says Inzlicht. In a study by a psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine, mice learned to poke (捅，推) their noses into a hole to obtain juice. When the number of pokes it took to receive juice was raised, or mild electric shocks were given, more dopamine was released in the striatum, a brain region important for motivation and experiencing reward. It also found that people rewarded for choosing a more difficult task opt (选择) for the difficult version the next time, even if it no longer comes with a reward. This appreciation of hard work transfers to unrelated tasks, from school and sports to work and parenting. Still, putting down our phones and seeking exertion may be difficult at first. Anna Lembke, a psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine, suggests building it into our schedule and doing it with friends or for a greater good, like running a race for charity or biking to save gas. “Sometimes the same effort can become boring and frustrating, so keep it fresh: find a new park to walk through or save a favorite show or podcast for the gym. We can strive (力争) for a healthier balance between seeking pleasure and embracing challenges,” Lembke says. “We are born to strive, but it’s up to us to channel that drive in a sustainable and fulfilling way.” 12. Which belongs to the phenomenon of the effort paradox? A. Staying in an unsatisfying yet relatively stable job. B. Throwing ourselves on the sofa after a tiring workday. C. Eating high-calorie food even though we are overweight. D. Hiking mountains even though we can take the cable car. 13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? A. The mice are fast learners. B. Effort is costly but valued. C. Hard work always pays off. D. We feel safe in the comfort zone. 14. What does the underlined word “exertion” mean in Paragraph 4? A. Convenience. B. Pleasure. C. Effort. D. Assistance. 15. What does Lembke suggest in the last paragraph? A. Avoiding ease and convenience at all costs. B. Keeping a balance between your life and work. C. Never giving up and persevering in face of difficulties. D. Finding something stimulating to finish effortful matters. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文的体裁是说明文，文章大意是讨论了人们有时会自愿选择困难而非轻松的现象，并探讨了这种现象背后的心理机制及其在日常生活中的应用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But sometimes - whether it’s running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or assembling furniture - we willingly choose difficulty over ease. Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, calls this the effort paradox(但有时——无论是跑马拉松、爬山还是组装家具——我们心甘情愿地选择困难而非轻松。多伦多大学的心理学家迈克尔·因兹利希特（Michael Inzlicht）将此称为努力悖论)”可知，努力悖论指的是我们有时会选择困难而非轻松的情况。故选D项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In a study by a psychiatrist at Stanford University School of Medicine, mice learned to poke(捅，推)their noses into a hole to obtain juice. When the number of pokes it took to receive juice was raised, or mild electric shocks were given, more dopamine was released in the striatum, a brain region important for motivation and experiencing reward. It also found that people rewarded for choosing a more difficult task opt(选择)for the difficult version the next time, even if it no longer comes with a reward. This appreciation of hard work transfers to unrelated tasks, from school and sports to work and parenting.( 在斯坦福大学医学院一位精神病学家的研究中，小鼠学会了将鼻子伸进一个洞里以获取果汁。当获得果汁所需的戳击次数增加或给予轻微电击时，纹状体（一个对动机和体验奖励很重要的大脑区域）中释放了更多的多巴胺。研究还发现，对于那些因选择更困难的任务而得到奖励的人，即使下次不再有奖励，他们也会倾向于选择困难的版本。这种对努力工作的欣赏转移到了无关的任务上，从学校和体育到工作和育儿)”可知，通过斯坦福大学医学院的一项研究，表明当获取果汁需要更多的推鼻动作或受到轻微电击时，大脑中释放更多的多巴胺，人们会因为选择更困难的任务而获得奖励，并且这种对努力工作的欣赏会转移到不相关的任务中。这说明努力虽然有成本，但也会被重视。故选B项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段“But sometimes - whether it’s running a marathon, climbing a mountain, or assembling furniture - we willingly choose difficulty over ease. Michael Inzlicht, a psychologist at the University of Toronto, calls this the effort paradox(但有时——无论是跑马拉松、爬山还是组装家具——我们心甘情愿地选择困难而非轻松。多伦多大学的心理学家迈克尔·因兹利希特（Michael Inzlicht）将此称为努力悖论)”以及第四段“Still, putting down our phones and seeking … may be difficult at first(不过，一开始放下手机并寻求……可能会很困难)”可知，exertion 在此处意为“努力”。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Sometimes the same effort can become boring and frustrating, so keep it fresh: find a new park to walk through or save a favorite show or podcast for the gym. We can strive (力争) for a healthier balance between seeking pleasure and embracing challenges, Lembke says.(“有时同样的努力会变得无聊和令人沮丧，所以要保持新鲜感：找一个新的公园散步，或者为健身房保存一个喜欢的节目或播客。我们可以努力在寻求快乐和迎接挑战之间寻求更健康的平衡，” 莱姆克说。)”可知，莱姆克建议找到一些有刺激性的东西来完成需要努力的事情。故选 D 项。 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。 Most of us experience self-doubt at times—it’s a normal reaction that often arises out of our desire to accomplish our goals in life.

He spent most of his time with his family, especially with his older sister Abby. They would run around in the fields together, climb trees, and catch insects. One day, Sammy’s parents sat him down for an important talk. They told him that they were moving to the big city so that they could be closer to their jobs. At first, Sammy didn’t understand what that meant or how it would change things for him. But soon enough, he realized that everything was going to be different. He wouldn’t have as much space to run around in like he did in their small town. And worst of all—he’d have to start a new school! Sammy had never been very good at making friends quickly—it always took some time before people warmed up to him and vice versa (反之亦然). So when he thought about starting over again somewhere new, it made him feel pretty anxious. He tried talking to Abby about it but she seemed excited about the move—she jumped at the idea of exploring new places and meeting new people! But Sammy couldn’t shake off this feeling: what if nobody liked him? what if everyone else already had friends? As they packed up their belongings into boxes ready for their journey ahead, Sammy felt sad saying goodbye to everything familiar: the old oak tree by the riverbank which he used to sit on during summer afternoons; the bakery shop owner who always gave them free cookies on Saturdays. It was hard to let go of all those memories they shared together. Sammy’s family finally lived in the big city. Everything seemed so different from what he was used to in their small town. The buildings were taller, the streets were busier, and there were people everywhere. Sammy was feeling really nervous about starting school. He had never been to a big school before, and he didn’t know anyone there. 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。 Then, his sister Abby noticed how worried he was. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ One day, with Abby sick, Sammy decided to try making friends by himself. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Then, his sister Abby noticed how worried he was. She sat down beside him and put an arm around his shoulder. “I know it's scary, Sammy,” she said gently, “but remember, I was the new kid once too. It might seem overwhelming now, but trust me, you'll make friends here just like you did back home.” Her words comforted him a bit, but the fear still lingered in his heart. One day, with Abby sick, Sammy decided to try making friends by himself. He mustered up all his courage and approached a group of kids playing basketball at recess. To his surprise, they welcomed him warmly and even taught him how to shoot hoops. By the end of the day, he had made two new friends - Mike and Sarah. They invited him to join their lunch table the next day, and Sammy walked home with a lighter heart than he had in weeks. He realized that maybe, just maybe, the big city wasn't so bad after all. And perhaps, he could find happiness in this unfamiliar place, just as he had in his beloved small town. 【解析】 【导语】本文以情感发展为线索展开，讲述了Sammy从习惯于小镇生活到被迫搬到大城市的不适应过程，以及在姐姐Abby的鼓励下尝试融入新环境，最终成功交到朋友的故事。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，他的姐姐Abby注意到了他有多担心。”可知，第一段可描写Abby对Sammy的安慰和鼓励，试图帮助他克服对新环境的恐惧。 ②由第二段首句内容“有一天，Abby生病了，Sammy决定尝试自己交朋友。”可知，第二段可描写Sammy鼓起勇气主动接近同学，并成功交到朋友的经历。 续写线索： 担忧——姐姐安慰——鼓起勇气——接近同学——受到欢迎——交到朋友——感悟 词汇激活 行为类 安慰：comfort/reassure 鼓起勇气：muster up all one's courage/ assemble all one's resolve 接近：approach/draw near 情绪类 害怕：fear/worry/anxiety 惊喜：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] One day, with Abby sick, Sammy decided to try making friends by himself.（使用动词不定式做宾语） [高分句型2] He realized that maybe, just maybe, the big city wasn't so bad after all.（使用了连接代词that连接的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
