At a barbershop, Rafael Santana and Osvaldo Lugo were working through a typical afternoon when the ordinary suddenly turned urgent (紧急的). Santana, a father of four, looked at a blur (模糊形状) of pink racing down the sidewalk. Instantly, he knew something was wrong. When he saw the little girl running alone and heading towards a busy crossroad, he shouted to Lugo, and both barbers (理发师) dropped their scissors and rushed out the door. Fortunately, they managed to stop her just before she reached the crosswalk. It was a close call, but courageous actions made all the difference. After Santana and Lugo’s courageous act saved a child from running into traffic, the local police department didn’t waste time recognizing the bravery of these two barbers. Within hours, the East Hartford Police Department posted a heartfelt message on their official website page, publicly praising Santana and Lugo for their quick action and calling them heroes. The post stressed the quick-thinking actions of Santana and Lugo that prevented what could have been a heartbreaking incident. The police department made it clear that the actions of these two men had not only saved a child’s life but also proved the power of everyday heroes in the community. Despite the recognition, Santana and Lugo remained modest. “We did this out of love, and we'd do it a million times again,” Santana said. “We protect and serve our community at all costs.” Santana and Lugo might be known for their styling skills, but now they’re also known for their actions and heroism. The barbershop’s regulars now have a story to tell, and it’s not just about a great cut. It’s about two barbers who became heroes when it mattered most. 4. Why did Santana and Lugo run out of the barbershop? A. They saw a customer in need of help. B. They heard a lot of noise outside the barbershop. C. They wanted to stop a little girl heading to a crossroad. D. They received an urgent phone call from the local police. 5. What did the local police department do after the incident? A. The department praised Santana and Lugo immediately. B. The department posted a message written by the girl’s parents. C. The department persuaded parents to take care of their children. D. The department awarded Santana and Lugo a large sum of money. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Santana and Lugo are recognized heroes. B. Santana and Lugo are local best barbers. C. The regulars think highly of the decoration style of the barbershop. D. The regulars prefer the barbers’ personalities to their skills. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The unusual barbershop. B. Tales from the barbershop. C. Heroic rescue of the barbers. D. Santana and Lugo’s life story. C Researchers have identified two ancient star groupings that appear to be among the Milky Way’s earliest parts. The structures (结构) are named Shakti and Shiva. They were discovered using observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia. Scientists wrote in a study that the structures might be the remains of two galaxies (星系) that connected 12 billion years ago with the early pieces of the Milky Way. They said the discovery offers new information about how our galaxy formed. Led by astronomer Khyati Malhan from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, the study, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal, probes the basic question of galaxy formation and shows more about galaxy formation. The Milky Way, a large spiral galaxy spanning about 100, 000 light-years, is probably identified by this study. The European Space Agency launched Gaia in 2013. It is helping to create the largest and most complete three-dimensional (三维的) map of the Milky Way. It is measuring the positions, distances, and movements of the stars. These information permitted researchers to find Shakti and Shiva. This study builds upon a 2022 discovery using Gaia data, identifying the “poor old heart” of the Milky Way, made up of stars from its earliest periods near the center. These ancient stars, different chemically, are termed “metal-poor”, containing fewer heavy elements like iron, carbon, and oxygen compared to stars elsewhere in the galaxy. These elements came from the universe’s earliest stars, which spread them upon their death. Malhan said researchers would like to track the formation and development of the Milky Way starting from the beginning of it until present day. But he said this was difficult because the earliest period of the galaxy took place 11 to 12 billion years ago. Scientists say the Big Bang event started the formation of the universe about 13.8 billion years ago. 8. What are the Shakti and Shiva structures most likely to be according to the text? A. The largest stars of the Milky Way. B. Black holes within the Milky Way. C. The oldest star structures in the Milky Way D. Ruins of two galaxies joining to the early Milky Way. 9. What does the underlined word “probes” mean in paragraph 3? A. Explores. B. Avoids. C. Protests. D. Stops. 10. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The definition of Gaia. B. The data from Gaia. C. The launch of Gaia. D. The function of Gaia. 11. What does Malhan think of tracking the origin of the Milky Way? A. Interesting. B. Challenging. C. Risky. D. Costly. D Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance. And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement. Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive. “The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline. Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term. 12. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1? A. They have been extinct within decades in America. B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades. C. Americans are concerned about their living environment. D. They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive. 13. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study? A. They raised bumblebees to observe them. B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees. C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees. D. They studied literature on bumblebees. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline 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。 Ways to Improve Confidence Although self-confidence means different things to different people, it simply means having faith in yourself, The following list has lots of ideas on how to achieve this.

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. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CBACA 6-10 BCBCA 11-15 BABAA 16-20 BACCB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2023—2024学年度第二学期高一盟校期末考试 英语试卷 试卷满分: 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、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? 答案是 C。 A. £19.15.

At a barbershop, Rafael Santana and Osvaldo Lugo were working through a typical afternoon when the ordinary suddenly turned urgent (紧急). Santana, a father of four, looked at a blur (模糊形状) of pink racing down the sidewalk. Instantly, he knew something was wrong. When he saw the little girl running alone and heading towards a busy crossroad, he shouted to Lugo, and both barbers (理发师) dropped their scissors and rushed out the door. Fortunately, they managed to stop her just before she reached the crosswalk. It was a close call, but courageous actions made all the difference. After Santana and Lugo’s courageous act saved a child from running into traffic, the local police department didn’t waste time recognizing the bravery of these two barbers. Within hours, the East Hartford Police Department posted a heartfelt message on their official website page, publicly praising Santana and Lugo for their quick action and calling them heroes. The post stressed the quick-thinking actions of Santana and Lugo that prevented what could have been a heartbreaking incident. The police department made it clear that the actions of these two men had not only saved a child’s life but also proved the power of everyday heroes in the community. Despite the recognition, Santana and Lugo remained modest. “We did this out of love, and we'd do it a million times again,” Santana said. “We protect and serve our community at all costs.” Santana and Lugo might be known for their styling skills, but now they’re also known for their actions and heroism. The barbershop’s regulars now have a story to tell, and it’s not just about a great cut. It’s about two barbers who became heroes when it mattered most. 4. Why did Santana and Lugo run out of the barbershop? A. They saw a customer in need of help. B. They heard a lot of noise outside the barbershop. C. They wanted to stop a little girl heading to a crossroad. D. They received an urgent phone call from the local police. 5. What did the local police department do after the incident? A. The department praised Santana and Lugo immediately. B. The department posted a message written by the girl’s parents. C. The department persuaded parents to take care of their children. D. The department awarded Santana and Lugo a large sum of money. 6. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Santana and Lugo are recognized heroes. B. Santana and Lugo are local best barbers. C. The regulars think highly of the decoration style of the barbershop. D. The regulars prefer the barbers’ personalities to their skills. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. The unusual barbershop. B. Tales from the barbershop. C. Heroic rescue of the barbers. D. Santana and Lugo’s life story. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了理发师Santana和Lugo在看到一个小女孩独自向繁忙的十字路口跑去时，立即放下手中的工作，冲出门去阻止她，最终成功地阻止了可能发生的悲剧。他们的英勇行为得到了当地警察局的高度赞扬。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“When he saw the little girl running alone and heading towards a busy crossroad, he shouted to Lugo, and both barbers (理发师) dropped their scissors and rushed out the door.”（当他看到一个小女孩独自向繁忙的十字路口跑去时，他向Lugo大喊，两个理发师立即放下手中的剪刀，冲出门去。）可知，Santana和Lugo冲出理发店是为了阻止一个小女孩向十字路口跑去。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Within hours, the East Hartford Police Department posted a heartfelt message on their official website page, publicly praising Santana and Lugo for their quick action and calling them heroes.”（几小时内，东哈特福德警察局在其官方网站上发布了一条发自内心的信息，公开赞扬Santana和Lugo的快速行动，并称他们为英雄。）可知，事情发生后，当地警察局立即赞扬了Santana和Lugo。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“The barbershop’s regulars now have a story to tell, and it’s not just about a great cut. It’s about two barbers who became heroes when it mattered most.”（理发店的常客们现在有了一个故事可以讲述，而这个故事不仅仅是关于一次出色的剪发。这是关于两个理发师在最关键的时刻成为英雄的故事。）可推知，Santana和Lugo被认为是英雄。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Santana and Lugo might be known for their styling skills, but now they’re also known for their actions and heroism. The barbershop’s regulars now have a story to tell, and it’s not just about a great cut. It’s about two barbers who became heroes when it mattered most.”（Santana和Lugo可能以他们的造型技巧而闻名，但现在他们也因他们的行动和英雄主义而闻名。这家理发店的常客们现在有故事可讲了，而且不仅仅是关于一个漂亮的发型。这是关于两个理发师在最重要的时候成为英雄的故事。）可知，短文主要讲述了理发师Santana和Lugo在看到一个小女孩独自向繁忙的十字路口跑去时，立即放下手中的工作，冲出门去阻止她，最终成功地阻止了可能发生的悲剧。他们的英勇行为得到了当地警察局的高度赞扬。故选C。 C Researchers have identified two ancient star groupings that appear to be among the Milky Way’s earliest parts. The structures (结构) are named Shakti and Shiva. They were discovered using observations from the European Space Agency’s Gaia. Scientists wrote in a study that the structures might be the remains of two galaxies (星系) that connected 12 billion years ago with the early pieces of the Milky Way. They said the discovery offers new information about how our galaxy formed. Led by astronomer Khyati Malhan from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, the study, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal, probes the basic question of galaxy formation and shows more about galaxy formation. The Milky Way, a large spiral galaxy spanning about 100, 000 light-years, is probably identified by this study. The European Space Agency launched Gaia in 2013. It is helping to create the largest and most complete three-dimensional (三维的) map of the Milky Way. It is measuring the positions, distances, and movements of the stars. These information permitted researchers to find Shakti and Shiva. This study builds upon a 2022 discovery using Gaia data, identifying the “poor old heart” of the Milky Way, made up of stars from its earliest periods near the center. These ancient stars, different chemically, are termed “metal-poor”, containing fewer heavy elements like iron, carbon, and oxygen compared to stars elsewhere in the galaxy. These elements came from the universe’s earliest stars, which spread them upon their death. Malhan said researchers would like to track the formation and development of the Milky Way starting from the beginning of it until present day. But he said this was difficult because the earliest period of the galaxy took place 11 to 12 billion years ago. Scientists say the Big Bang event started the formation of the universe about 13.8 billion years ago. 8. What are the Shakti and Shiva structures most likely to be according to the text? A. The largest stars of the Milky Way. B. Black holes within the Milky Way. C. The oldest star structures in the Milky Way D. Ruins of two galaxies joining to the early Milky Way. 9. What does the underlined word “probes” mean in paragraph 3? A. Explores. B. Avoids. C. Protests. D. Stops. 10. What does paragraph 4 focus on? A. The definition of Gaia. B. The data from Gaia. C. The launch of Gaia. D. The function of Gaia. 11. What does Malhan think of tracking the origin of the Milky Way? A. Interesting. B. Challenging. C. Risky. D. Costly. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道，文章主要讲的是研究人员已经确定了两个古老的恒星群，它们似乎是银河系最早的部分。这些结构被命名为Shakti和Shiva。它们是通过欧洲航天局盖亚卫星的观测发现的。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Scientists wrote in a study that the structures might be the remains of two galaxies(星系)that connected 12 billion years ago with the early pieces of the Milky Way. (科学家们在一项研究中写道，这些结构可能是120亿年前与银河系早期部分相连的两个星系的遗迹。)”可知，Shakti和Shiva结构最有可能是两个在120亿年前与银河系的早期部分相连的星系的遗迹。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第二段“They said the discovery offers new information about how our galaxy formed.(他们说，这一发现为我们的星系如何形成提供了新的信息。)”及划线词之前“Led by astronomer Khyati Malhan from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy, the study, recently published in The Astrophysical Journal,(由马克斯普朗克天文研究所的天文学家Khyati Malhan领导的这项研究最近发表在《天体物理学杂志》上，)”以及第三段划线词之后“the basic question of galaxy formation and shows more about galaxy formation. The Milky Way, a large spiral galaxy spanning about 100, 000 light-years, is probably identified by this study.(星系形成的基本问题，并展示了更多关于星系形成的知识。银河系，一个巨大的螺旋星系，跨度约10万光年，可能是通过这项研究确定的。)”可知，天文学家Khyati Malhan领导的这项研究让我们了解到了星系形成的基本问题，并展示了更多关于星系形成的知识；由此可知，划线词probes 的意思是“探索，发现”，与A项explore意思相近。故选A项。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第四段“The European Space Agency launched Gaia in 2013. It is helping to create the largest and most complete three-dimensional(三维的)map of the Milky Way. It is measuring the positions, distances, and movements of the stars. These information permitted researchers to find Shakti and Shiva.(欧洲航天局于2013年发射了盖亚。它正在帮助创建最大和最完整的银河系三维地图。它测量恒星的位置、距离和运动。这些信息使研究人员能够找到Shakti and Shiva。)”可知，第四段主要围绕着盖亚的功能来展开。故选D项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But he said this was difficult because the earliest period of the galaxy took place 11 to 12 billion years ago. Scientists say the Big Bang event started the formation of the universe about 13.8 billion years ago.(但他说，这很困难，因为银河系最早的时期发生在110亿到120亿年前。科学家们表示，大爆炸事件开始了大约138亿年前宇宙的形成。)”可知，Malhan认为追踪银河系的起源是具有挑战性的。故选B项。 D Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. They pollinate (授粉) flowers and crops. If their populations were to continue to decline, crops would not be able to produce fruits and vegetables. Despite being small, they are important to nature’s balance. And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement. Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius. They are unlikely to be able to adjust themselves to the extent that rising temperatures due to climate change require, the study reports. While individual bees may be able to deal with increased heat better than others, the study notes that if nests are too hot, the groups will not survive. “The effect of high nest temperatures has not been studied very much, which is surprising,” Kevan said. Similar studies have been done on honeybees (蜜蜂), another threatened yet highly important species. This suggests further that heat stress is a major factor in bees’ overall decline. Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term. 12. What do we know about bumblebees from paragraph 1? A. They have been extinct within decades in America. B. Their populations have decreased a lot in the last two decades. C. Americans are concerned about their living environment. D. They tend to depend on flowers and crops to survive. 13. How did Kevan and his coworkers carry out the study? A. They raised bumblebees to observe them. B. They focused on studying individual bumblebees. C. They conducted experiments on bumblebees. D. They studied literature on bumblebees. 14. What is the author’s attitude toward Kevan’s studies? A. Unclear. B. Supportive. C. Doubtful. D. Uninterested. 15. Which can be a suitable title for the text? A. Big Results for Small Bumblebees B. Bumblebees Protection Inspires Scientists C. The Impact of Climate Change on Honeybees D. Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕大黄蜂种群数量下降的问题展开，解释了这一现象可能的原因——全球变暖导致的温度升高。文章通过引用研究数据、专家观点等，对大黄蜂的生态重要性、适应温度范围、以及高温对其种群的影响进行了说明。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Bumblebee (大黄蜂) populations have declined (下降) by 90 percent in the past 20 years. The decline of the bumblebees is highly concerning as they are significant for ecosystems. (大黄蜂的数量在过去的20年里下降了90%。大黄蜂的减少是高度关注的，因为它们对生态系统具有重要意义。)”可知，大黄蜂的数量在过去的二十年里大幅度减少。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Kevan and his colleagues decided to take a closer look at the facts relating to bumblebee populations across the world. Kevan and the colleagues looked at 180 years of literature on the species and found one common reason across all bumblebee species that they can survive in temperatures up to 36 degrees Celsius, but the perfect temperature for nests is between 28 to 32 degrees Celsius.(Kevan和他的同事们决定仔细研究一下与世界各地大黄蜂种群有关的事实。Kevan和他的同事们查阅了180年来关于这个物种的文献，发现了所有大黄蜂物种都能在36摄氏度的温度下生存的一个共同原因，但筑巢的最佳温度是28到32摄氏度。)”可知，Kevan和他的同事们查阅了180年来关于这个物种的文献，这说明他们是通过研究关于大黄蜂的文献来进行研究的。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although the studies led by Kevan have limitations, the potential effects for bumblebee health and conversation are large and long-term.(虽然Kevan的研究存在局限性，但对大黄蜂健康和交流的潜在影响是巨大而长期的。)”可知，作者对Kevan的研究持支持态度。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“And now, a new study published in the Frontiers in Bee Science has found that the rising heat caused by global warming might be a reason for the decrease in numbers across the globe. “The decline in populations and ranges of several species of bumblebees may be explained by issues of overheating of the nests,” Peter Kevan of the University of Guelph in Canada and lead author of the study said in a statement.(现在，发表在《蜜蜂科学前沿》上的一项新研究发现，全球变暖导致的气温上升可能是全球蜜蜂数量减少的一个原因。加拿大圭尔夫大学的Peter Kevan是这项研究的主要作者，他在一份声明中说：“一些大黄蜂物种的数量和范围的下降可能是由于巢穴过热的问题造成的。”)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕大黄蜂种群数量下降的问题展开，通过引用研究数据、专家观点等，解释了这一现象可能的原因——全球变暖导致的温度升高。选项D“Research Shows the Main Reason of Bumblebee Decline(研究揭示了大黄蜂数量下降的主要原因)” 准确概括了文章的主题。故选D。 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。 Ways to Improve Confidence Although self-confidence means different things to different people, it simply means having faith in yourself, The following list has lots of ideas on how to achieve this.

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.
