B When I suggested my 13-year-old try tennis, she quickly refused me. “I’m not sporty; stop trying to get me to do sports,” Julianna said. I had suggested it because some of my happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing pains on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always refused by her. Still, I was undeterred. I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl. Midway into summer, we stayed at home, and Julianna and I felt really bored. “Do you want to play tennis?” I asked her at lunch one afternoon. Sure, she said. At that time, we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out of the house. Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed to our sides of the court. The net was like the growing divide between us — I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence. I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand. My daughter wanted the chance to figure these things out for herself. We repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she smiled widely. Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go. 4. Why did the author persuade her daughter to play tennis? A. Tennis was as popular as ping-pong. B. They had a good time playing tennis together. C. It would help her daughter make more like-minded friends. D. It would be good for her daughter’s emotional management. 5. What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2? A. Not dishonest. B. Not sure. C. Not discouraged. D. Not surprised. 6. What did the author do when her daughter missed the ball? A. She stood close to the net. B. She repeated hitting the ball. C. She changed ends with her daughter. D. She instructed her daughter immediately. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mom Coaches Teen Daughter in Tennis B. Mom Helps Teen Daughter Express Her Emotions C. Mom Encourages Teen Daughter to Be Independent D. Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court C As soccer fans over the world tuned into the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, they witnessed multiple uses of artificial intelligence. Video technology was helping referees (裁判) on the field make accurate calls. More than 15,000 cameras were tracking crowds across eight playing venues, and algorithms (计算程序) using data pints like ticket sales predicted crowd patterns and helped with crowd control. Even the soccer balls were equipped with motion sensors, reporting locations to a data center 500 times per second. In fact, the World Cup in Qatar was one of the highest-tech international sports events yet. But we haven’t even seen all the ways AI will affect sports. Consider the use of video replay to improve performance. Even as new technology has completely changed many aspects of competitive sports, the technology behind film study hasn’t changed in a while. The task of organizing, editing, and learning from film can be extremely demanding, requiring someone to scroll through (滚动搜索) hours of not-very-useful footage (片段) to find the plays they’re looking for. Sports organizations sometimes ask whole departments to do this job. A new generation of AI technologies promises to simplify that process considerably. The newest AI systems can recognize individual players, movements, plays, or patterns without a human having to lay eyes on a screen. That means a coach can find exactly the footage he or she needs without searching through hours of video. For example, the Remark AI Box can be connected to a team’s existing cameras to give them AI functionality without any need to put in new sensors or other equipment. Yet sports teams are just beginning to apply AI to film study, where the latest technologies should soon be able to bring them far more advantages. The time-tested training technique of film study was in desperate need of a long-awaited technological upgrade. Now that teams are about to use Al in new ways, we can expect to see the results on the playing field. Over time, AI-powered tools certainly will spread across different sports, leagues, and levels of play. Athletes who ignore the possibilities are missing an enormous opportunity. 8. Which aspect of the World Cup in Qatar does paragraph 1 mainly focus on? A. The different applications of AI. B. The various functions of a data center. C. How data points were collected and used. D. How crowd movements were predicted and managed. 9. What is one challenge faced by film study in sports? A. Insufficient technical support. B. The need for a great deal of manpower. C. Little effect on improving athletes’ performance. D The difficulty in picking up useful footage of certain players. 10. What does paragraph 3 tell us about the newest AI systems? A. They can be a huge time saver for coaches. B. They can make the training process much easier. C. They can function well with the help of new devices. D. They can predict game results based on previous patterns. 11. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. AI systems might soon replace coaches. B. The early Al users can get a competitive edge. C. Athletes shouldn’t use AI-powered tools during matches. D. The previous training method of film study is still reliable. D I’m trying to construct an alternative theory of myself in which I’m a tidy person. It’s not going well. Walking my recycling from my apartment to the waste room down the hall takes me anywhere from two minutes to a month. I hate looking at broken-down boxes in my apartment, but studies say humans are bad at prioritizing long-term goals over instant satisfaction and I apparently find doing anything else much more satisfying. According to psychology professor Joseph Ferrari, there are two types of people who have a problem completing housework in a timely manner task delayers and chronic procrastinators (慢性拖延症患者). All people procrastinate sometimes, Ferrari says, but for chronic procrastinators, it happens in all areas of life. Simple task delayers are more common, but they usually have a much easier time-building good habit than their chronic counterparts (相对应的人). Part of the reason why task delayers fall into their bad habits in the first place might be the time of the day when tasks often occur. “Doing those tasks takes some self-control, and if you’ve made a lot of choices already that day, it’s harder to use self-control,” says Roy Baumeister, a social psychologist. If you could sit at your desk and play Candy Crush all day like you might want to, washing some plates when you get home might not seem as hard. Caretaker Gloria Fraser always considers herself a quick, efficient person in her professional life, but the emotional baggage of housework makes personal tasks more difficult. “There’s a negative tape going on in my head that says I should have done something and asks why I waited until it got this bad,” she says. “So instead of doing it, I’m thinking about all the times I should have.” If a problem can be understood, maybe it can be fixed. Betsy Burroughs, a former branding manager, used to have a hard time keeping her home tidy. She says, “But then I noticed that if I was having people over, not only would I clean the place up, but I’d actually enjoy cleaning it.” Her solution was to start a monthly party at home, which has ran for more than 12 years. Anyway, being aware of your habits does seem to have an impact on procrastination. 12. Why does the author struggle with taking out the recycling in a timely manner? A She dislikes the process of breaking down boxes. B. The waste room is located far away from her apartment. C. She thinks recycling does not cause problems at her apartment. D. Throwing away the recycling cannot bring her instant satisfaction. 13. According to Roy Baumeister, what is a reason for task delayers putting off housework? A. They are too tired B. They have no sense of time. C. They find housework boring. D. They have more important things to do. 14. What can we learn about Gloria Fraser’s experience with personal tasks? A. She is highly motivated to complete them immediately. B. She finds personal tasks easier than professional tasks. C. Negative thoughts and regrets prevent her from taking action. D. Finishing personal tasks seldom provides her with emotional support. 15. How does Betsy Burroughs address her struggle with keeping her home tidy? A. By changing her career. B. By seeking help from her friend. C. By hosting regular social events. D. By employing a professional cleaner. 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。 Lifelong Learning and the Future of Work: Challenges and Opportunities Our world is undergoing dramatic and transformative change — technological, organizational, and climatic — presenting new challenges to the future of work.

I had suggested it because some of my happiest recent memories were of playing ping-pong with her. Tennis seemed like a natural progression from ping-pong and a great way to work out some of her growing pains on a larger playing field. But my suggestion was always refused by her. Still, I was undeterred. I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl. Midway into summer, we stayed at home, and Julianna and I felt really bored. “Do you want to play tennis?” I asked her at lunch one afternoon. Sure, she said. At that time, we were both eager to spend as much time as possible out of the house. Arriving at the court, we set down our bags, picked up our rackets (球拍), and headed to our sides of the court. The net was like the growing divide between us — I desiring connection and my teenage daughter longing for independence. I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand. My daughter wanted the chance to figure these things out for herself. We repeated the pattern of me hitting the ball and her missing it a few times before she finally got it back over the net. “This is fun,” she said with a mixture of surprise and delight and then she smiled widely. Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go. 4. Why did the author persuade her daughter to play tennis? A. Tennis was as popular as ping-pong. B. They had a good time playing tennis together. C. It would help her daughter make more like-minded friends. D. It would be good for her daughter’s emotional management. 5. What does the underlined word “undeterred” mean in paragraph 2? A. Not dishonest. B. Not sure. C. Not discouraged. D. Not surprised. 6 What did the author do when her daughter missed the ball? A. She stood close to the net. B. She repeated hitting the ball. C. She changed ends with her daughter. D. She instructed her daughter immediately. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Mom Coaches Teen Daughter in Tennis B. Mom Helps Teen Daughter Express Her Emotions C. Mom Encourages Teen Daughter to Be Independent D. Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。主要讲述的是一位母亲发现和女儿一起参加竞技运动有助于解决她们之间的分歧。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions. I’ve seen how sports help with stress. It worked for me when I was a teenage girl.(我相信做一些运动可以帮助朱莉安娜控制自己的情绪。我知道运动是如何缓解压力的。当我还是个小女孩的时候，这对我很有效。)”可知，作者认为进行体育运动有助于女儿管理情绪，青少年时期的作者深有体会，由此可知，作者之所以要说服女儿从事体育运动是因为她认为体育运动对她女儿的情绪管理有好处。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第一段中的“But my suggestion was always refused by her.(但我的建议总是被她拒绝。)”可知，作者建议女儿从事体育运动的建议总是被拒绝，根据划线单词前的still可知，此处意为“然而”，与上文为转折关系，结合下文中的“I believed that doing some sports would help Julianna manage her emotions.(我相信做一些运动可以帮助朱莉安娜控制自己的情绪。)”可知，作者认为运动可以帮助女儿管理情绪，所以很坚持要女儿从事运动；由此可知，划线单词undeterred的意思是“不泄气”，与C选项Not discouraged的意义相近。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“I started by hitting a ball over the net, and Julianna took a big swing and missed. We repeated this several more times. I didn’t tell her she was holding the racket too close to the neck or she should step more into her forehand.(我一开始把球打过了网，朱莉安娜挥了一大步，没打中。我们又重复了几次。我没有告诉她，她把球拍拿得离脖子太近，或者她应该更多地用正手击球。)”可知，在作者女儿Julianna没有击中球，他们又重复了几次，而且作者并没有告诉她应该如何击球，由此可知，在作者女儿没有击中球的时候，作者重复击球。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据尾段“Now we always find time to play tennis. We’re both eager for an activity that can ease tensions between us in daily life. It’s nice to have a place where both of us can release our negative moods and let them go.(现在我们总是找时间打网球。我们都渴望一项活动，可以缓解我们在日常生活中的紧张关系。能有个地方让我们俩都能释放负面情绪，让它们散去，真是太好了。)”可知，现在作者与女儿经常找时间去打网球，这样缓解了他们在日常生活中的紧张关系，还可以释放负面情绪，结合上文讲述的女儿拒绝从事运动的建议到后来开始喜欢上打网球的经历可知，本文主要讲述的是一位妈妈与十几岁的女儿从事网球运动帮助他们解决了她们之间的一些紧张关系，D选项“Mom and Teen Daughter Find Some Peace on the Tennis Court(妈妈和十几岁的女儿在网球场上找到了一些平静)”能够概括本文主旨，适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。 C As soccer fans over the world tuned into the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, they witnessed multiple uses of artificial intelligence. Video technology was helping referees (裁判) on the field make accurate calls. More than 15,000 cameras were tracking crowds across eight playing venues, and algorithms (计算程序) using data pints like ticket sales predicted crowd patterns and helped with crowd control. Even the soccer balls were equipped with motion sensors, reporting locations to a data center 500 times per second. In fact, the World Cup in Qatar was one of the highest-tech international sports events yet. But we haven’t even seen all the ways AI will affect sports. Consider the use of video replay to improve performance. Even as new technology has completely changed many aspects of competitive sports, the technology behind film study hasn’t changed in a while. The task of organizing, editing, and learning from film can be extremely demanding, requiring someone to scroll through (滚动搜索) hours of not-very-useful footage (片段) to find the plays they’re looking for. Sports organizations sometimes ask whole departments to do this job. A new generation of AI technologies promises to simplify that process considerably. The newest AI systems can recognize individual players, movements, plays, or patterns without a human having to lay eyes on a screen. That means a coach can find exactly the footage he or she needs without searching through hours of video. For example, the Remark AI Box can be connected to a team’s existing cameras to give them AI functionality without any need to put in new sensors or other equipment. Yet sports teams are just beginning to apply AI to film study, where the latest technologies should soon be able to bring them far more advantages. The time-tested training technique of film study was in desperate need of a long-awaited technological upgrade. Now that teams are about to use Al in new ways, we can expect to see the results on the playing field. Over time, AI-powered tools certainly will spread across different sports, leagues, and levels of play. Athletes who ignore the possibilities are missing an enormous opportunity. 8. Which aspect of the World Cup in Qatar does paragraph 1 mainly focus on? A. The different applications of AI. B. The various functions of a data center. C. How data points were collected and used. D. How crowd movements were predicted and managed. 9. What is one challenge faced by film study in sports? A. Insufficient technical support. B. The need for a great deal of manpower. C. Little effect on improving athletes’ performance. D. The difficulty in picking up useful footage of certain players. 10. What does paragraph 3 tell us about the newest AI systems? A. They can be a huge time saver for coaches. B. They can make the training process much easier. C. They can function well with the help of new devices. D. They can predict game results based on previous patterns. 11. Which of the following might the author agree with? A. AI systems might soon replace coaches. B. The early Al users can get a competitive edge. C. Athletes shouldn’t use AI-powered tools during matches. D. The previous training method of film study is still reliable. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了人工智能在体育领域的一些应用情况。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“As soccer fans over the world tuned into the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022, they witnessed multiple uses of artificial intelligence. Video technology was helping referees (裁判) on the field make accurate calls. More than 15,000 cameras were tracking crowds across eight playing venues, and algorithms (计算程序) using data pints like ticket sales predicted crowd patterns and helped with crowd control. Even the soccer balls were equipped with motion sensors, reporting locations to a data center 500 times per second.(随着世界各地的球迷关注2022年卡塔尔世界杯，他们目睹了人工智能的多种用途。视频技术帮助现场裁判做出准确的判罚。超过1.5万个摄像头跟踪了8个比赛场地的人群，使用门票销售等数据的算法预测了人群的模式，并帮助控制了人群。甚至连足球都配备了运动传感器，每秒向数据中心报告500次位置)”可知，第一段主要关注的是卡塔尔世界杯人工智能的不同应用。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The task of organizing, editing, and learning from film can be extremely demanding, requiring someone to scroll through (滚动搜索) hours of not-very-useful footage (片段) to find the plays they’re looking for. Sports organizations sometimes ask whole departments to do this job. (组织、编辑和从电影中研究的任务可能是非常苛刻的，需要人们滚动几个小时的不太有用的镜头来找到他们想要的动作。体育组织有时会要求整个部门来做这项工作)”可知，体育电影研究面临的一个挑战是难以获得某些球员的有用镜头。故选D。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“A new generation of AI technologies promises to simplify that process considerably. The newest AI systems can recognize individual players, movements, plays, or patterns without a human having to lay eyes on a screen. That means a coach can find exactly the footage he or she needs without searching through hours of video. For example, the Remark AI Box can be connected to a team’s existing cameras to give them AI functionality without any need to put in new sensors or other equipment.(新一代人工智能技术有望大大简化这一过程。最新的人工智能系统可以识别单个选手、动作、玩法或模式，而无需人类盯着屏幕。这意味着教练可以准确地找到他或她需要的镜头，而无需在数小时的视频中搜索。例如，Remark AI Box可以连接到球队现有的摄像头，从而为他们提供AI功能，而无需安装新的传感器或其他设备)”可知，最新的人工智能系统可以为教练节省大量时间。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Yet sports teams are just beginning to apply AI to film study, where the latest technologies should soon be able to bring them far more advantages.(然而，体育团队才刚刚开始将人工智能应用于电影学习，最新的技术应该很快就能给他们带来更大的优势)”可知，早期的人工智能用户可以获得竞争优势。故选B。 D I’m trying to construct an alternative theory of myself in which I’m a tidy person. It’s not going well. Walking my recycling from my apartment to the waste room down the hall takes me anywhere from two minutes to a month. I hate looking at broken-down boxes in my apartment, but studies say humans are bad at prioritizing long-term goals over instant satisfaction and I apparently find doing anything else much more satisfying. According to psychology professor Joseph Ferrari, there are two types of people who have a problem completing housework in a timely manner task delayers and chronic procrastinators (慢性拖延症患者). All people procrastinate sometimes, Ferrari says, but for chronic procrastinators, it happens in all areas of life. Simple task delayers are more common, but they usually have a much easier time-building good habit than their chronic counterparts (相对应的人). Part of the reason why task delayers fall into their bad habits in the first place might be the time of the day when tasks often occur. “Doing those tasks takes some self-control, and if you’ve made a lot of choices already that day, it’s harder to use self-control,” says Roy Baumeister, a social psychologist. If you could sit at your desk and play Candy Crush all day like you might want to, washing some plates when you get home might not seem as hard. Caretaker Gloria Fraser always considers herself a quick, efficient person in her professional life, but the emotional baggage of housework makes personal tasks more difficult. “There’s a negative tape going on in my head that says I should have done something and asks why I waited until it got this bad,” she says. “So instead of doing it, I’m thinking about all the times I should have.” If a problem can be understood, maybe it can be fixed. Betsy Burroughs, a former branding manager, used to have a hard time keeping her home tidy. She says, “But then I noticed that if I was having people over, not only would I clean the place up, but I’d actually enjoy cleaning it.” Her solution was to start a monthly party at home, which has ran for more than 12 years. Anyway, being aware of your habits does seem to have an impact on procrastination. 12. Why does the author struggle with taking out the recycling in a timely manner? A. She dislikes the process of breaking down boxes. B. The waste room is located far away from her apartment. C. She thinks recycling does not cause problems at her apartment. D. Throwing away the recycling cannot bring her instant satisfaction. 13. According to Roy Baumeister, what is a reason for task delayers putting off housework? A. They are too tired B. They have no sense of time. C. They find housework boring. D. They have more important things to do. 14. What can we learn about Gloria Fraser’s experience with personal tasks? A. She is highly motivated to complete them immediately. B. She finds personal tasks easier than professional tasks. C. Negative thoughts and regrets prevent her from taking action. D. Finishing personal tasks seldom provides her with emotional support. 15. How does Betsy Burroughs address her struggle with keeping her home tidy? A. By changing her career. B. By seeking help from her friend. C. By hosting regular social events. D. By employing a professional cleaner. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了不同人群在完成家务时存在的拖延问题，分析了任务拖延者与慢性拖延者的区别，以及如何通过理解习惯来对抗拖延，提高生活整理的主动性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Walking my recycling from my apartment to the waste room down the hall takes me anywhere from two minutes to a month. I hate looking at broken-down boxes in my apartment, but studies say humans are bad at prioritizing long-term goals over instant satisfaction and I apparently find doing anything else much more satisfying.(从我的公寓步行到大厅下面的垃圾处理室，我需要两分钟到一个月的时间。我讨厌在公寓里看到破碎的盒子，但研究表明，人类不善于将长期目标置于即时满足之上，我显然发现做其他事情更令人满意)”可知，作者不及时处理回收物品是因为相比于长期目标（保持环境整洁），她更倾向于即时满足感，即扔垃圾无法立即给她带来满足感。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段Roy Baumeister的观点“‘Doing those tasks takes some self-control, and if you’ve made a lot of choices already that day, it’s harder to use self-control,’ says Roy Baumeister, a social psychologist. If you could sit at your desk and play Candy Crush all day like you might want to, washing some plates when you get home might not seem as hard.(社会心理学家Roy Baumeister说：‘完成这些任务需要一些自制力，如果那天你已经做出了很多选择，那么就更难使用自制力。’。如果你能像你想的那样整天坐在办公桌前玩《糖果粉碎》，那么回家后洗盘子可能就不会那么难了)”可知，任务拖延者推迟家务的一个原因是他们在一天中已经做了很多决策，自我控制力减弱。由此可推知，Roy Baumeister认为，任务拖延者推迟做家务的原因是因为精神上的疲惫造成自我控制力的枯竭。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的“‘There’s a negative tape going on in my head that says I should have done something and asks why I waited until it got this bad,’ she says. ‘So instead of doing it, I’m thinking about all the times I should have.’(她说：“我的脑海中有一个负面的声音在说我应该做点什么，并问为什么我等到情况变得这么糟糕才去做。‘所以我没有去做，而是在思考我应该拥有的所有时间。’)”可知，Gloria Fraser的个人事务处理受阻是因为脑海中的负面想法和对过去的后悔，这些情绪阻碍了她的行动。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段的“Her solution was to start a monthly party at home, which has run for more than 12 years.(她的解决方案是在家里每月举办一次派对，已经举办了12年多)”可知，她通过定期在家举办社交活动来促使自己保持家居整洁。故选C。 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。 Lifelong Learning and the Future of Work: Challenges and Opportunities Our world is undergoing dramatic and transformative change — technological, organizational, and climatic — presenting new challenges to the future of work.

Just an idea.” “Quiet, you,” James said. He crossed his fingers more tightly and repeated, “Snow ...” That night, James picked at his carrots for 45 minutes, ate his icecream so slowly that it melted, played ping-pong by himself for more than an hour, and spent the rest of the evening wishing for snow. He didn’t open his spelling book even once. When James opened his blinds (百叶窗帘) the next morning, he nearly fell over backward. The lawn (草坪) was blanketed with snow. The trees and the cars were covered with snow. perfect, white snow! By the time James ran downstairs, his dad was already digging a path to the driveway, and the radio was announcing school closings. James listened carefully until he heard his school’s name. “I did it!” he shouted, jumping into the air. “I wished for snow, and it snowed! I made it snow!” Zeke rolled his eyes and took a bite of sausage. “You didn’t make it snow. Snow is caused by numerous factors, including…” “Come on!” James interrupted. “Did I or did I not wish for snow?” “You did,” Zeke admitted. “And did it snow?” “Well, yes, but ...” “But nothing,” James said. He was already pulling on his boots. It’s play time! And play he did. Hand. He made an army of snow ducks. He built what he assumed was the world’s largest snowman. He won the greatest snowball fight Deerfield Lane had ever seen. Then he played solo ping-pong again. Then he played his video game for some more time. He didn’t open his spelling book even once. “You do know that Ms. Lookingbill will give you that spelling test tomorrow, right?” Zeke asked. “No,” James said. “I wished for more snow.” 注意: 1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 The next morning. James sprang from his bed and opened his blinds. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In that day’s spelling test, James’ paper was marked from top to bottom with red Xs. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next morning, James sprang from his bed and opened his blinds. His heart pounded with anticipation. To his immense joy, a fresh blanket of snow greeted him once again, even thicker than before. The world outside was transformed into a sparkling wonderland, and James could hardly contain his excitement. “Yes!” he exclaimed, pumping his fist in the air. “More snow!” Zeke, peering over his shoulder, just shook his head and chuckled, reminding James about the reality check that awaited him at school. In that day’s spelling test, James’ paper was marked from top to bottom with red Xs. As he reviewed his failed test, a wave of regret washed over him. He realized that wishing for snow might bring temporary joy, but it couldn’t replace the importance of preparing for his responsibilities. With a heavy heart, he decided it was time to strike a balance between enjoying life’s unexpected pleasures and fulfilling his academic commitments. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，文章主要讲述了James因为渴望下雪而整夜许愿，结果第二天真下雪了，他兴奋地玩耍并享受雪带来的乐趣。然而，他忽视了即将到来的拼写测试，当他的哥哥Zeke提醒他时，他却继续许愿希望有更多的雪。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段的首句“第二天早上。詹姆斯从床上跳起来，打开百叶窗。”可知，本段可描写James因雪兴奋，却忽视学业。 ②由第二段的首句“在那天的拼写测试中，詹姆斯的试卷从上到下都用红色的X标记。”可知，本段可描写詹姆斯从错误中学习，决心更努力。 2.续写线索：期待下更大的雪——玩雪——忘记考试——提醒——考试失利——吸取教训——决心努力学习 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①控制：contain/suppress ②淹没：wash over/flood ③大喊：exclaim/shout 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/delight/happiness ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】Zeke, peering over his shoulder, just shook his head and chuckled, reminding James about the reality check that awaited him at school.（运用了that引导的限定性定语从句） 【高分句型2】As he reviewed his failed test, a wave of regret washed over him.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
