Here are some of the exhibitions that will be held in 2024. Paper and Light Artists have for centuries explored the interaction (相互作用) of paper and light, This exhibition of drawings charts some of the creative ways in which the two media were creatively used together. Drawings by more modern artists will show the representation of light. Nineteenth — Century Photography Now The small, sepia-toned (棕褐色调的) images made in the 19th century may appear remote and unconnected to the present. However, many of the traditions established during the early rise of photographic technology are still in use today. This exhibition provides fresh views on Getty’s collection of 19th-century photography through the works of contemporary artists who respond directly to its historical themes. Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather Featuring drawings and paintings by Hendrick Avercamp and other Dutch artists of the early 1600s, this exhibition focuses on landscapes that highlight extremely cold winters and unusually cool summers. It tells a story of global cooling in the 17th century and shows how artists stressed the uncertainty of life and the necessity for adaptation through their descriptions of ice skating and fishing. Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) This exhibition tells the story of a mid-20th century cooperation (合作) between artists and engineers to form the group Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). The group’s pioneering efforts to improve communication and cooperation pushed its programs beyond the art world. 1. What is the feature of the Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather? A. Interaction of paper and light. B. Small and sepia-toned images. C. Landscapes of cold winters and cool summers. D. Exploration of photographic technology. 2. Which exhibition tells the story of a cooperation between artists and engineers? A. Paper and Light. B. Dutch Depictions of Extreme Weather. C. Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). D.

B Daken Kramer may only be 11 years old and it was his last year at Thomas Ultican Elementary (TUE). Knowing that TUE has a high number of students who come from economically (在经济上) challenged homes, he decided to deal with the problem head-on. According to the Blue Springs School District, a lunch costs $2.55-with a 40-cent reduction for students in need. But even with the reduction, it is still too big a economical burden (负担) for some families. So, wanting to reduce their stress, he started a fundraiser called “Daken Feeds TUE” to clear the lunch debt (债务). Daken took to social media to spread the word, posting a video on his mother, Vanessa Kramer’s website page. It turns out that he’s not just a really kind kid, he’s also a pretty persuasive salesperson as well. His original goal was $3,500 but when word got around, donations came pouring in. Within two weeks, he’d already doubled it. Daken’s actions inspired the school to establish an award in Daken’s honor, to be given to future fifth graders who follow his lead and struggle to make a difference. His teacher, Kristi Haley, announced the “Daken Kramer Legacy Award” at his grade 5 graduation. “I did not expect it,” Daken said. He added it felt good to hear about the award. Daken’s fundraiser made a difference in his community but it also showed a larger issue—the problem with school lunch debt. Blue Springs School District spokesperson, Katie Woolf, told CNN that meal debt totals more than $235,000 in her district alone. And meal debt is reaching unprecedented (前所未有的) heights across the United States. A recent survey from the School Nutrition Association found school districts have more than $17 million in unpaid meal debt. 4. Why did Daken start “Daken Feeds TUE”? A. He decided to raise money for new school supplies. B. He wanted to help some students with lunch debt at TUE. C. He wished to organize a school event for his classmates. D. He aimed to fund a school trip for the fifth graders. 5. What was the people’s response to Daken’s fundraiser? A. They actively supported it. B. They misunderstood it. C. They were amazed at it. D. They were unconcerned about it. 6. How did Daken feel about the award? A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Embarrassed. D. Doubtful. 7. Why are the data listed in the last paragraph? A. To praise Daken’s efforts for school lunch debt. B. To highlight the seriousness of school lunch debt. C. To compare the lunch debt between different schools. D. To explain the reason for the appearance of lunch debt. C Flamingo (火烈鸟) images are everywhere in Florida, on tourist T-shirts, hotel names, and the Florida Lottery logo. However, real pink flamingos have been mostly gone from the state since the early 1900s, when hunters nearly wiped them out, seeking their stylish and valuable feathers (羽毛). Now however, flamingos seem to be returning to Florida. Birders recorded 101 wild American flamingo sightings across the state in February, according to recently released figures from Audubon Florida. Environmentalists believe many of these birds were carried into the state on the winds of storm in August 2023. Flamingos have landed in Florida after storms in the past, but they usually don’t stay for too long. This time, birders and wildlife biologists all hope that the creatures can stay there. In recent decades, people have sometimes seen flamingos in Florida, including a well-known flamingo named Conchy, who was rescued from an airport in the Florida Keys in 2015. The data showed Conchy moved all over the southern part of the state, teaching scientists more about flamingos in Florida in two years than was known in the previous 100 years, writes Lori Rozsa. Meanwhile, environmentalists have been working to restore (恢复) the local wetland habitats (栖息地). In the Caribbean and Mexico, protection efforts have also helped increase the number of flamingo populations. Now, those efforts seem to be paying off. This year, forecasters are predicting a particularly bad storms season. It remains to be seen what that will mean for Florida’s burgeoning flamingo population—and other bird species, more broadly. There may be a few silver linings however. After storms in September 2022, the number of shorebirds found wrapped in dangerous fishing line dropped by 58 percent in southwest Florida, since fishing piers were destroyed in the storm. “We never welcome storms here in Florida, but we did welcome some passengers,” Jerry Lorenz, director of research for Audubon Florida said. 8. What made pink flamingos almost disappear from Florida in the 1900s? A. The loss of habitat. B. Tourism industry. C. The overhunting for their feathers. D. Frequent storms. 9. What do we know about Conchy from paragraph 3? A. It was born in the Florida Keys. B. It was found in a zoo in southern Florida. C. It never left the area where it was rescued. D. It gave scientists insights into flamingos’ behavior. 10. What does the underlined phrase “silver linings” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Something easy. B. Something good. C. Something popular. D. Something interesting. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Impact of Storms on Florida’s Ecosystem B. Climate Change and Its Effects on Flamingos C. The Pink Phenomenon: Flamingos’ Impact on Florida’s Culture D. Flamingos Return to Florida: Hope After Decades of Absence D The belief that failure leads to success may be both inaccurate and damaging to society, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. Researchers conducted 11 experiments with more than 1,800 participants across many fields and compared national statistics (统计数字) to the participants’ responses. In one experiment, participants greatly overestimated (高估) the percentage of future nurses, lawyers and teachers who pass licensing exams after previously failing them. “People expect success to follow failure much more often than it actually does,” said lead researcher Lauren Eskreis-Winkler. “People usually assume that past behavior predicts (预测) future behavior, so it’s surprising that we often believe the opposite when it comes to succeeding after failure.” In some experiments, participants wrongly assumed that people pay attention to their mistakes and learn from them. In one test, nurses overestimated how much their colleagues would learn from a past error. “People often confuse reality with what ought to be,” Eskreis-Winkler said. “People ought to pay attention and learn from failure, but often they don’t do so because failure make people lose motivation (动力).” While telling people they will directly succeed after failure may make them feel better, that the idea can damage real-world results. In one experiment, participants assumed that heart patients would accept healthier lifestyles, but in reality, many of them don’t. People who believe that problems will self-correct after failure are less motivated to help those in need. Why would we invest time or money to help struggling populations if we mistakenly believe that they will right themselves? Failure is normal. However, people need to readjust their expectations when given information about the limited benefits of failure. And take positive measures to support those who have faced challenges. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By providing a research result. B. By describing a process. C. By imagining a scene. D. By giving an example. 13. Why do people often fail to learn from their mistakes according to the text? A. They tend to forget their mistakes. B. They lack the opportunity to learn. C. They believe failure is a negative experience. D. They assume past success predicts future success. 14. What does the author mainly try to do in the last paragraph? A. Make a promise. B. Give warnings. C. Present a fact. D. Offer advice. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A Benefits of failure are overestimated. B. Benefits of failure are limited. C. Failure makes people lose motivation. D. Failure leads to success. 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。 Humans are social creatures, which is why we feel lonely from time to time, for example, after moving to a new school or when a child leaves for college. ____16____.

We walked along the village road, passing by houses and people working in the fields. Life was simple in our small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Little though I was, I dreamed of going to school. I heard laughter and saw a group of students. I asked them to show me their books before they could go by. The pictures of people and places in the books were very interesting. I told them I wanted to go to school too and gave their books back. The students smiled at each other and left, while I stayed with my buffalo. Months passed. Every day, I rose to do housework and herd (放牧) the buffalo. Until one day, I got my chance. Uncle came to visit. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not his future,” Uncle convinced my parents that all children should go to school. The following week, I enrolled in primary school. Now, armed with my own books, I set out to learn everything. I read textbooks, asked questions, and even read newspapers for my father and his companions. By the end of the year, I proved to be one of the best students in the school. I resolved to study at college or university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. Everyone laughed and made jokes. However, I didn’t give up on my dream. I have a skin condition that causes white spots on my skin. Some people judged me quietly, but I didn’t let the problems in life bring me down. Rather, they became stepping stones toward realizing my dreams. I turned to writing poetry and practice calligraphy as an outlet for my emotions and creativity. I got published and won competitions, gaining not just recognition but also the confidence to keep moving forward. However, before I began my college study, I was hit with another roadblock. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My father’s limited income couldn’t cover my further education. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I presented my calligraphy works to the interviewer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 巴彦淖尔市2023—2024学年下学期高一期末考试 英语 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 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题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。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） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 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?

It turns out that he’s not just a really kind kid, he’s also a pretty persuasive salesperson as well. His original goal was $3,500 but when word got around, donations came pouring in. Within two weeks, he’d already doubled it. Daken’s actions inspired the school to establish an award in Daken’s honor, to be given to future fifth graders who follow his lead and struggle to make a difference. His teacher, Kristi Haley, announced the “Daken Kramer Legacy Award” at his grade 5 graduation. “I did not expect it,” Daken said. He added it felt good to hear about the award. Daken’s fundraiser made a difference in his community but it also showed a larger issue—the problem with school lunch debt. Blue Springs School District spokesperson, Katie Woolf, told CNN that meal debt totals more than $235,000 in her district alone. And meal debt is reaching unprecedented (前所未有的) heights across the United States. A recent survey from the School Nutrition Association found school districts have more than $17 million in unpaid meal debt. 4. Why did Daken start “Daken Feeds TUE”? A. He decided to raise money for new school supplies. B. He wanted to help some students with lunch debt at TUE. C. He wished to organize a school event for his classmates. D. He aimed to fund a school trip for the fifth graders. 5. What was the people’s response to Daken’s fundraiser? A. They actively supported it. B. They misunderstood it. C. They were amazed at it. D. They were unconcerned about it. 6. How did Daken feel about the award? A. Disappointed. B. Surprised. C. Embarrassed. D. Doubtful. 7. Why are the data listed in the last paragraph? A. To praise Daken’s efforts for school lunch debt. B. To highlight the seriousness of school lunch debt. C. To compare the lunch debt between different schools. D. To explain the reason for the appearance of lunch debt. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍了Daken帮助许多来自贫困家庭的学生偿还债务。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“So, wanting to reduce their stress, he started a fundraiser called “Daken Feeds TUE” to clear the lunch debt (债务).(所以，为了减轻他们的压力，他发起了一个名为“Daken Feeds TUE”的筹款活动，以偿还午餐债务)”可知，Daken创立这个活动的目的是为了帮助贫困学生偿还午餐债务。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“His original goal was $3,500 but when word got around, donations came pouring in. Within two weeks, he’d already doubled it(他最初的目标是3500美元，但消息传开后，捐款如潮水般涌来。在两周内，他已经翻了一倍)”可推知，大家积极参与捐款，这是对Daken的支持。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“I was not expected it(我没有预料到)”可推知，Daken没想到自己会得奖，所以是惊讶的态度。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Daken’s fundraiser made a difference in his community but it also showed a larger issue—the problem with school lunch debt(Daken的筹款活动对他所在的社区产生了影响，但也显示了一个更大的问题——学校午餐债务问题)”可知，学校债务问题非常严重。通过后文所给予的数字，进一步说明问题的严重性。故选B。 C Flamingo (火烈鸟) images are everywhere in Florida, on tourist T-shirts, hotel names, and the Florida Lottery logo. However, real pink flamingos have been mostly gone from the state since the early 1900s, when hunters nearly wiped them out, seeking their stylish and valuable feathers (羽毛). Now, however, flamingos seem to be returning to Florida. Birders recorded 101 wild American flamingo sightings across the state in February, according to recently released figures from Audubon Florida. Environmentalists believe many of these birds were carried into the state on the winds of storm in August 2023. Flamingos have landed in Florida after storms in the past, but they usually don’t stay for too long. This time, birders and wildlife biologists all hope that the creatures can stay there. In recent decades, people have sometimes seen flamingos in Florida, including a well-known flamingo named Conchy, who was rescued from an airport in the Florida Keys in 2015. The data showed Conchy moved all over the southern part of the state, teaching scientists more about flamingos in Florida in two years than was known in the previous 100 years, writes Lori Rozsa. Meanwhile, environmentalists have been working to restore (恢复) the local wetland habitats (栖息地). In the Caribbean and Mexico, protection efforts have also helped increase the number of flamingo populations. Now, those efforts seem to be paying off. This year, forecasters are predicting a particularly bad storms season. It remains to be seen what that will mean for Florida’s burgeoning flamingo population—and other bird species, more broadly. There may be a few silver linings, however. After storms in September 2022, the number of shorebirds found wrapped in dangerous fishing line dropped by 58 percent in southwest Florida, since fishing piers were destroyed in the storm. “We never welcome storms here in Florida, but we did welcome some passengers,” Jerry Lorenz, director of research for Audubon Florida said. 8. What made pink flamingos almost disappear from Florida in the 1900s? A. The loss of habitat. B. Tourism industry. C. The overhunting for their feathers. D. Frequent storms. 9. What do we know about Conchy from paragraph 3? A. It was born in the Florida Keys. B. It was found in a zoo in southern Florida. C. It never left the area where it was rescued. D. It gave scientists insights into flamingos’ behavior. 10. What does the underlined phrase “silver linings” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Something easy. B. Something good. C. Something popular. D. Something interesting. 11. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Impact of Storms on Florida’s Ecosystem B. Climate Change and Its Effects on Flamingos C. The Pink Phenomenon: Flamingos’ Impact on Florida’s Culture D. Flamingos Return to Florida: Hope After Decades of Absence 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。讲述了火烈鸟在佛罗里达灭绝之后，在人类的帮助下重回佛罗里达。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, real pink flamingos have been mostly gone from the state since the early 1900s, when hunters nearly wiped them out, seeking their stylish and valuable feathers(然而，自20世纪初以来，真正的粉红色火烈鸟已经从该州消失了，当时猎人为了寻找它们时尚而珍贵的羽毛，几乎将它们消灭了)”可知，猎人过度捕猎火烈鸟的羽毛导致其消失。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“The data showed Conchy moved all over the southern part of the state, teaching scientists more about flamingos in Florida in two years than was known in the previous 100 years, writes Lori Rozsa.(洛里·罗莎写道，数据显示，Conchy在佛罗里达州的南部地区到处移动，这两年里教给科学家的关于佛罗里达州火烈鸟的知识比过去100年里所知道的还要多)”可知，Conchy给科学家们带来了很多关于火烈鸟的知识。故选D。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据所猜词后“After storms in September 2022, the number of shorebirds found wrapped in dangerous fishing line dropped by 58 percent in southwest Florida, since fishing piers were destroyed in the storm(在2022年9月的风暴之后，在佛罗里达州西南部发现的被危险鱼线包裹的滨鸟数量下降了58%，因为捕鱼码头在风暴中被摧毁)”可知，风暴将捕渔码头摧毁，从而让很多被鱼线所困住的鸟被释放。由此推知，风暴也会带来一些好处。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段第一句“Now, however, flamingos seem to be returning to Florida(然而，现在烈鸟似乎回到佛罗里达)”可知，本文主要讲述了火烈鸟在弗罗里达灭绝之后，在人类的帮助下重回佛罗里达。故选D。 D The belief that failure leads to success may be both inaccurate and damaging to society, according to research published by the American Psychological Association. Researchers conducted 11 experiments with more than 1,800 participants across many fields and compared national statistics (统计数字) to the participants’ responses. In one experiment, participants greatly overestimated (高估) the percentage of future nurses, lawyers and teachers who pass licensing exams after previously failing them. “People expect success to follow failure much more often than it actually does,” said lead researcher Lauren Eskreis-Winkler. “People usually assume that past behavior predicts (预测) future behavior, so it’s surprising that we often believe the opposite when it comes to succeeding after failure.” In some experiments, participants wrongly assumed that people pay attention to their mistakes and learn from them. In one test, nurses overestimated how much their colleagues would learn from a past error. “People often confuse reality with what ought to be,” Eskreis-Winkler said. “People ought to pay attention and learn from failure, but often they don’t do so because failure make people lose motivation (动力).” While telling people they will directly succeed after failure may make them feel better, that the idea can damage real-world results. In one experiment, participants assumed that heart patients would accept healthier lifestyles, but in reality, many of them don’t. People who believe that problems will self-correct after failure are less motivated to help those in need. Why would we invest time or money to help struggling populations if we mistakenly believe that they will right themselves? Failure is normal. However, people need to readjust their expectations when given information about the limited benefits of failure. And take positive measures to support those who have faced challenges. 12. How does the author introduce the topic? A. By providing a research result. B. By describing a process. C. By imagining a scene. D. By giving an example. 13. Why do people often fail to learn from their mistakes according to the text? A. They tend to forget their mistakes. B. They lack the opportunity to learn. C. They believe failure is a negative experience. D. They assume past success predicts future success. 14. What does the author mainly try to do in the last paragraph? A. Make a promise. B. Give warnings. C. Present a fact. D. Offer advice. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Benefits of failure are overestimated. B. Benefits of failure are limited. C. Failure makes people lose motivation. D. Failure leads to success. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇说明文，主要讲述了美国心理协会的一项研究表明失败导致成功的信念可能既不准确又对社会有害。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“The belief that failure leads to success may be both inaccurate and damaging to society, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.(根据美国心理协会发表的一项研究，失败导致成功的信念可能既不准确，也对社会有害)”可知，作者是通过提供一个研究结果来引出话题的。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段““People often confuse reality with what ought to be,” Eskreis-Winkler said. “People ought to pay attention and learn from failure, but often they don’t do so because failure make people lose motivation.”(Eskreis-Winkler说:“人们经常混淆现实和应该是什么。人们应该关注失败并从失败中学习，但他们往往不这样做，因为失败使人们失去动力。)”可知，人们往往不会从错误中汲取教训是因为他们认为失败是一种消极的经历。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Failure is normal. However, people need to readjust their expectations when given information about the limited benefits of failure. And take positive measures to support those who have faced challenges.(失败是正常的。然而，当人们被告知失败的有限好处时，他们需要重新调整他们的预期。并采取积极措施支持那些面临挑战的人)”可知，文章最后一段作者提供了一些面对失败的建议。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“The belief that failure leads to success may be both inaccurate and damaging to society, according to research published by the American Psychological Association.(根据美国心理协会发表的一项研究，失败导致成功的信念可能既不准确，也对社会有害)”及第二段““People expect success to follow failure much more often than it actually does,” said lead researcher Lauren Eskreis-Winkler. “People usually assume that past behavior predicts (预测) future behavior, so it’s surprising that we often believe the opposite when it comes to succeeding after failure.”(首席研究员劳伦·埃斯克瑞斯-温克勒说:“人们往往认为失败会带来成功，但实际情况并非如此。人们通常认为过去的行为可以预测未来的行为，所以令人惊讶的是，当涉及到失败后的成功时，我们往往相信相反的想法。”)”可知，本文讲述了美国心理协会的一项研究表明失败导致成功的信念可能既不准确又对社会有害，因此，失败的益处被高估了，A选项符合文章大意。故选A。 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。 Humans are social creatures, which is why we feel lonely from time to time, for example, after moving to a new school or when a child leaves for college. ____16____.

We walked along the village road, passing by houses and people working in the fields. Life was simple in our small village in Sindh, Pakistan. Little though I was, I dreamed of going to school. I heard laughter and saw a group of students. I asked them to show me their books before they could go by. The pictures of people and places in the books were very interesting. I told them I wanted to go to school too and gave their books back. The students smiled at each other and left, while I stayed with my buffalo. Months passed. Every day, I rose to do housework and herd (放牧) the buffalo. Until one day, I got my chance. Uncle came to visit. “Brother, you must send Rasool Bux to school. Herding buffalo is not his future,” Uncle convinced my parents that all children should go to school. The following week, I enrolled in primary school. Now, armed with my own books, I set out to learn everything. I read textbooks, asked questions, and even read newspapers for my father and his companions. By the end of the year, I proved to be one of the best students in the school. I resolved to study at college or university in Karachi, a big city over 150 kilometers away. Everyone laughed and made jokes. However, I didn’t give up on my dream. I have a skin condition that causes white spots on my skin. Some people judged me quietly, but I didn’t let the problems in life bring me down. Rather, they became stepping stones toward realizing my dreams. I turned to writing poetry and practice calligraphy as an outlet for my emotions and creativity. I got published and won competitions, gaining not just recognition but also the confidence to keep moving forward. However, before I began my college study, I was hit with another roadblock. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My father’s limited income couldn’t cover my further education. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I presented my calligraphy works to the interviewer. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 My father’s limited income couldn’t cover my further education. The thought of not being able to pursue my dreams of attending college in Karachi weighed heavily on my heart. Nights were filled with restlessness as I tossed and turned, trying to find a solution. I began to explore scholarships and financial aid opportunities, determined to find a way to make my dream a reality. I worked tirelessly, balancing my studies with part-time jobs and applying to every grant and scholarship I could find. Finally, I came across an opportunity that could change my life forever. A prestigious college in Karachi was offering scholarships to talented students based on their extracurricular achievements. Excited by this prospect, I gathered all my calligraphy works and prepared for the interview. On the day of the interview, I walked into the room with a mix of nervousness and determination. They asked me questions about my journey and how I overcame obstacles to pursue my dreams. I shared my story, unafraid to reveal my struggles and how writing poetry and practicing calligraphy had become my sanctuary. To my delight, I was offered a full scholarship to the college. That moment, I knew that all the hardships I had faced were worth it. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者想要去大城市卡拉奇读大学，为此作者开始写诗和练习书法，作者出版了作品并赢得了比赛，不仅获得了认可，还获得了继续前进的信心。且为了梦想不断努力，最终拿到了奖学金。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我父亲有限的收入无法供我继续深造”可知，第一段可描写作者做兼职存学费以及申请奖学金。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，我遇到了一个可以永远改变我生活的机会”可知，第二段可描写作者获得了奖学金的经过。 2.续写线索：经济困难——做兼职——申请奖学金——面试——分享故事——获得奖学金——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：be filled with /be full of ②能够：be able to/be capable of ③实现：make sth. a reality/realize 情绪类 ①不安：restlessness/uneasiness ②激动：excited/thrilled 【点睛】[高分句型1] The thought of not being able to pursue my dreams of attending college in Karachi weighed heavily on my heart.
