But mostly, I’m mindlessly scrolling past things I don’t care about, which defeats the reason I signed up for these social accounts in the first place. I wanted to feel powerful, but usually, I just end up feeling exhausted. Instead of blaming social media in general, I decided to cleanse all of my accounts for the better, which means I spent one month deleting unfriending people online. At the start of my quest, I felt really bad about unfriending Facebook friends who hadn’t done me harm. I mean, I don’t hate them or anything; I just don’t like their social media presence, and I don’t really talk to them anymore. Then, I realized that unfriending someone doesn’t mean that there are hard feelings — it means that I won’t know their Candy Crush score or what their kid’s sandcastle looks like. To make the process easier, I came up with what I’d like to call “the Costco test”. Basically, it’s just asking myself if I would say ‘hi’ to this person if I ran into him/her at Costco. For me, this is a pretty high standard. The test forced me to draw the line between people I was truly friends with at one point and the people I’ve said two words to in my whole life. Most likely, the people in the latter category don’t want to know all that much about me either. So I unfriended them. I wasn’t expecting to feel such a huge sense of relief at the end of this experiment. I trimmed just under 100 Facebook friends. So when I log in, I’m actually interested in what I see. Overall, I have a clearer head and I also save time throughout the day, since I have fewer things to catch up on and look at aimlessly. 24. What’s the author’s original purpose on social media? A. To keep informed and inspired. B. To obtain some knowledge. C. To make more friends. D. To do a part-time job. 25. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. I will lose all contact with their personal lives. B. I will no longer be tied to follow details of their lives. C. I will have no idea about their children’s beach activities. D. I will be completely unaware of their children’s artistic abilities. 26. Why did the author do “the Costco test”? A. To pick out real friends. B. To assess her sociability. C. To know Internet social trends. D. To check her Internet popularity. 27. How does the author feel after finishing her experiment? A. Interested and child- minded. B. Relieved and clear-minded. C. Excited and warm- hearted. D. Exhausted and narrow- minded. C Fresh peas often take so long to reach grocery stores that they usually lose their original flavor when you eat them. Frozen peas, which are frozen within hours of being picked, keep their sweetness and crispness (脆度), not to mention their bright color. While people in cold climates have been preserving food by freezing for longer than we probably can record, in the early 20th century, processed food companies had a lot to learn when it came to making defrosted (解冻的) fish and other food stuffs delicious. Frozen food always took on a depressingly mushy (糊状的) texture. The idea of making food eatable for the future by freezing had been appealing for quite some time. Sir Francis Bacon conducted a food- freezing experiment in 1626. He noticed food could be stored longer in winter, so he had a chicken’s body stuffed with snow to see if it would be well preserved. His death soon after stopped him from continuing the experiment. A turning point in the frozen food industry’s history came when Clarence Birdseye, a naturalist, lived in Labrador. There he learned about the customs of the Inuit, who would go ice fishing and then let their catch immediately freeze in the very cold air. When this frozen fish, which was left out in the cold, was eventually cooked, it tasted fresh and delicious. He applied the same method to cabbages, and it worked wonderfully. However frozen food didn’t find its feet then. Large numbers of Americans first tasted frozen food in the 1940s, during World War II, when there was a shortage of canned goods. Even more significant was the fact that while men were off fighting, women took jobs outside the home, causing them to seek faster ways to fix meals. It took trial and error to discover the foods that froze well and to improve refrigeration in transportation systems, in stores, and in people’s homes. 28. What challenge did processed food companies face in the early 20th century? A. Promoting sales of frozen products. B. Harvesting ripe vegetables in a short time. C. Keeping the original color of frozen products. D. Preserving the flavor and texture of defrosted food. 29. What was the purpose of Sir Francis Bacon’s experiment in 1626? A. To study the properties of snow. B. To test food preservation by freezing. C. To find the best way of preserving food. D. To improve a traditional scientific method. 30. What did Clarence Birdseye learn from the Inuit? A. Cooking skills mattered a lot to flavor. B. Ice fishing could be a health- giving activity. C. Quick freezing helped keep food’s favor and freshness. D. Certain frozen products offered superior taste and quality. 31. What did World War II mean to frozen food? A. It drove a great boost in frozen food consumption. B. It resulted in a sudden rise in the price of frozen food. C. It posed a challenge to the transportation of frozen food. D. It redirected frozen food producers’ focus to canned goods. D Deepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. The technology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential. Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says. Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.” As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Deepfake has aroused much interest in public. B. Deepfake can produce more realistic photos. C. The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored. D. More and more fake videos created by deepfake. 33. What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to ? A. Became unpopular. B. Spread fast. C. Was ignored. D. Remained fresh. 34. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology. B. Application of deepfake technology in education. C. Expectation for deepfake technology in society. D. The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms. 35. What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake? A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Unclear. D. Favourable. 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cleaning your room can feel like a challenging task, but it’s likely a quicker and easier process than you imagine!

To me, running was the worst thing in the world. Running was for athletes or people who liked to hurt themselves. Running was for anyone but me. “Come on, Mary,” my husband said. “No one can exercise for you! You must do it yourself to lose weight and be healthy!” I nodded, trying to wear the armband again and attach my phone to it. I needed the phone to listen to music to draw my attention from how much running would hurt. I also needed it so that I could hear the computer voice of my mile tracker (追踪器) telling me my physical condition with every passing mile. I wasn’t getting any younger. Pushing myself to the limit had never before crossed my mind. But the pounds weren’t exactly disappearing though I improved my eating habits and hoped for the best. The annoying weight was slowly creeping (慢慢移动) to my legs and backside. Actually, it was creeping everywhere. As my doctor put it, “It’s time to put some exercise into your schedule.” My only hope for fighting against heavy weight and age would be through exercise. So here I was about to start the very thing I disliked. “If you don’t hear from me in 30 minutes, come look for me. I could be lying on the side of the road. weak or dead,” I said to my husband. Without even looking at me, my husband said, “Mary, it really won’t be so bad. You just have to get started. Believe me! You’ll do great!” “Right” I smiled as he continued preparing for his shift. Hesitating, I walked out alone. It was dark and cold outside. 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。 Gathering my courage, I fired up the music and my mile tracker. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon finishing a 25-minute run for the first time, I called my husband. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 机密★启用前 名校联盟·2024年下学期高二入学考试 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

She suggested a day for appreciating teachers. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【原文】Hello, everyone. Today. I'll talk about Teachers' Day in America. Chinese students celebrate Teachers' Day on September 10 every year. In America, Teacher Appreciation Week is celebrated in the first full week of May. It'll fall on the days from May 1 to May 7 in 2023. The big day is Teacher Appreciation Day on May 3, but teachers are just so great that they get a whole week to enjoy our appreciation. Schools will host special parties and give teachers gifts throughout the week. How do US students thank their teachers? They usually give small gifts to their teachers to let them know how great they are. It can be an apple or a gift card. But I advise you to write a thank-you note with a personal touch. Of course, you could also make a donation to some organizations. Though the origins of Teacher Appreciation Week are unclear, it's clear that it was in 1944 that an Arkansas school teacher, Mattye Whyte Woodridge, wrote to politicians and educational professionals about the demand for a day to appreciate teachers, However, it was not until 1953 that Eleanor Roosevelt, the wife of Franklin D. Roosevelt, convinced lawmakers to adopt the day.

But mostly, I’m mindlessly scrolling past things I don’t care about, which defeats the reason I signed up for these social accounts in the first place. I wanted to feel powerful, but usually, I just end up feeling exhausted. Instead of blaming social media in general, I decided to cleanse all of my accounts for the better, which means I spent one month deleting unfriending people online. At the start of my quest, I felt really bad about unfriending Facebook friends who hadn’t done me harm. I mean, I don’t hate them or anything; I just don’t like their social media presence, and I don’t really talk to them anymore. Then, I realized that unfriending someone doesn’t mean that there are hard feelings — it means that I won’t know their Candy Crush score or what their kid’s sandcastle looks like. To make the process easier, I came up with what I’d like to call “the Costco test”. Basically, it’s just asking myself if I would say ‘hi’ to this person if I ran into him/her at Costco. For me, this is a pretty high standard. The test forced me to draw the line between people I was truly friends with at one point and the people I’ve said two words to in my whole life. Most likely, the people in the latter category don’t want to know all that much about me either. So I unfriended them. I wasn’t expecting to feel such a huge sense of relief at the end of this experiment. I trimmed just under 100 Facebook friends. So when I log in, I’m actually interested in what I see. Overall, I have a clearer head and I also save time throughout the day, since I have fewer things to catch up on and look at aimlessly. 24. What’s the author’s original purpose on social media? A. To keep informed and inspired. B. To obtain some knowledge. C. To make more friends. D. To do a part-time job. 25. What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3? A. I will lose all contact with their personal lives. B. I will no longer be tied to follow details of their lives. C. I will have no idea about their children’s beach activities. D. I will be completely unaware of their children’s artistic abilities. 26. Why did the author do “the Costco test”? A. To pick out real friends. B. To assess her sociability. C. To know Internet social trends. D. To check her Internet popularity. 27. How does the author feel after finishing her experiment? A. Interested and child- minded. B. Relieved and clear-minded. C Excited and warm- hearted. D. Exhausted and narrow- minded. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者删减社交媒体上的好友数量，从而重新获得轻松和愉快的生活。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“As a journalist with a desk job, I spend a lot of time on social media.(作为一名坐办公室的记者，我花了很多时间在社交媒体上。)”以及下文中的“I wanted to feel powerful, but usually, I just end up feeling exhausted.(我想要感觉自己很强大，但通常情况下，我只会感到筋疲力尽。)”可知，作为记者，花很多时间在社交媒体上，想要让自己感到强大，结果却感到筋疲力尽，由此可知，作者最初的目的是想要保持消息灵通和获得灵感。故选A项。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句子前的破折号可知，此处是对破折号前的内容的解释，结合划线句子前的“I mean, I don’t hate them or anything; I just don’t like their social media presence, and I don’t really talk to them anymore. I realized that unfriending someone doesn’t mean that there are hard feelings(我是说，我不讨厌他们什么的；我只是不喜欢他们在社交媒体上的表现，我也不再和他们说话了。我意识到和某人解除好友关系并不意味着会有不好的感觉)”可知，作者不喜欢社交媒体上这些人的表现，只是不想再和他们说话，作者意识到删减朋友，不关注他们的消息，所以划线句子的意思是作者不再受限于追随他们的生活细节。故选B项。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“For me, this is a pretty high standard. The test forced me to draw the line between people I was truly friends with at one point and the people I’ve said two words to in my whole life.(对我来说，这是一个相当高的标准。这个测试迫使我在曾经是真正朋友的人和我一生中只说过一两句话的人之间划清界限。)”可知，作者通过测试，与一生中只说话一两句话的人划清界限，由此可知，作者这么做的目的是挑选出自己真正的朋友。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Overall, I have a clearer head and I also save time throughout the day, since I have fewer things to catch up on and look at aimlessly.(总的来说，我有一个更清晰的头脑，我也节省了一整天的时间，因为我有更少的要赶和漫无目的地看的事情。)”可知，作者完成实验后觉得头脑清醒，没有需要去追赶的事情，因此而轻松了很多。故选B项。 C Fresh peas often take so long to reach grocery stores that they usually lose their original flavor when you eat them. Frozen peas, which are frozen within hours of being picked, keep their sweetness and crispness (脆度), not to mention their bright color. While people in cold climates have been preserving food by freezing for longer than we probably can record, in the early 20th century, processed food companies had a lot to learn when it came to making defrosted (解冻的) fish and other food stuffs delicious. Frozen food always took on a depressingly mushy (糊状的) texture. The idea of making food eatable for the future by freezing had been appealing for quite some time. Sir Francis Bacon conducted a food- freezing experiment in 1626. He noticed food could be stored longer in winter, so he had a chicken’s body stuffed with snow to see if it would be well preserved. His death soon after stopped him from continuing the experiment. A turning point in the frozen food industry’s history came when Clarence Birdseye, a naturalist, lived in Labrador. There he learned about the customs of the Inuit, who would go ice fishing and then let their catch immediately freeze in the very cold air. When this frozen fish, which was left out in the cold, was eventually cooked, it tasted fresh and delicious. He applied the same method to cabbages, and it worked wonderfully. However, frozen food didn’t find its feet then. Large numbers of Americans first tasted frozen food in the 1940s, during World War II, when there was a shortage of canned goods. Even more significant was the fact that while men were off fighting, women took jobs outside the home, causing them to seek faster ways to fix meals. It took trial and error to discover the foods that froze well and to improve refrigeration in transportation systems, in stores, and in people’s homes. 28. What challenge did processed food companies face in the early 20th century? A. Promoting sales of frozen products. B. Harvesting ripe vegetables in a short time. C. Keeping the original color of frozen products. D. Preserving the flavor and texture of defrosted food. 29. What was the purpose of Sir Francis Bacon’s experiment in 1626? A. To study the properties of snow. B. To test food preservation by freezing. C. To find the best way of preserving food. D. To improve a traditional scientific method. 30. What did Clarence Birdseye learn from the Inuit? A. Cooking skills mattered a lot to flavor. B. Ice fishing could be a health- giving activity. C. Quick freezing helped keep food’s favor and freshness. D. Certain frozen products offered superior taste and quality. 31. What did World War II mean to frozen food? A. It drove a great boost in frozen food consumption. B It resulted in a sudden rise in the price of frozen food. C. It posed a challenge to the transportation of frozen food. D. It redirected frozen food producers’ focus to canned goods. 【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文追溯了冰冻食物的发展历程。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“While people in cold climates have been preserving food by freezing for longer than we probably can record, in the early 20th century, processed food companies had a lot to learn when it came to making defrosted (解冻的) fish and other food stuffs delicious. Frozen food always took on a depressingly mushy (糊状的) texture.(虽然生活在寒冷地区的人们通过冷冻保存食物的时间可能比我们所能记录的要长，但在20世纪初，加工食品公司在制作解冻的鱼和其他食物美味方面有很多东西要学。冷冻食品总是呈现出一种令人沮丧的糊状质地)”可知，在20世纪初，保持冷冻食物的风味和口感是食品公司所面临的挑战。故选D。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Sir Francis Bacon conducted a food- freezing experiment in 1626. He noticed food could be stored longer in winter, so he had a chicken’s body stuffed with snow to see if it would be well preserved.(弗朗西斯·培根爵士在1626年进行了一次食物冷冻实验。他注意到食物在冬天可以保存更长的时间，所以他把一只鸡的身体填满雪，看看它是否能保存得很好)”可知，Francis Bacon所做的实验目的是探究被冷冻的食物的保存状况。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“There he learned about the customs of the Inuit, who would go ice fishing and then let their catch immediately freeze in the very cold air. When this frozen fish, which was left out in the cold, was eventually cooked, it tasted fresh and delicious. He applied the same method to cabbages, and it worked wonderfully.(在那里，他了解到因纽特人的习俗，他们会去冰上钓鱼，然后让他们的渔获物立即冻结在非常寒冷的空气中。当这条冷冻的鱼被放在冰箱里，最后煮熟的时候，它尝起来很新鲜，很美味。他把同样的方法应用到卷心菜上，效果非常好)”可知，Clarence Birdseye从因纽特人那里学到了快速冷冻食物可以使食物保鲜的方法。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Large numbers of Americans first tasted frozen food in the 1940s, during World War II, when there was a shortage of canned goods. Even more significant was the fact that while men were off fighting, women took jobs outside the home, causing them to seek faster ways to fix meals.(许多美国人第一次品尝冷冻食品是在20世纪40年代第二次世界大战期间，当时罐头食品短缺。更重要的是，当男人外出打仗的时候，女人在外面工作，这使得她们寻找更快的方法做饭)”可知，第二次世界大战极大地推动了冷冻食品的消费。故选A。 D Deepfake technology, which uses AI and machine learning and can change videos and photographs in a way that appears realistic, has frequently been covered in a negative light. The technology can be used to violate (侵犯) privacy and create fake videos. While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential. Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia that went viral in 2021 can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says. Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life. One teacher Donally has “communicated” with Frederick Douglass to help students connect with Douglass’ famous 1852 speech about the meaning of the Fourth of July to Black enslaved Americans. Another teacher has plans to use the technology to have students interview a historical figure and create dialogue for them. “It makes them want to learn more,” Donally says of using deepfake technology.” It drives them into kind of the history and understanding a bit more, and I think it also helps them identify who they are in that process.” As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate. It’s important to check the legality (合法性) of data collection of facial structure, features, and expressions, and how that information is stored or shared. Teachers should help their students learn to navigate this new technology that will likely be a part of society going forward. 32. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Deepfake has aroused much interest in public. B. Deepfake can produce more realistic photos. C. The benefits of deepfake shouldn’t be ignored. D. More and more fake videos created by deepfake. 33. What does “went viral” underlined in Paragraph 2 refer to ? A. Became unpopular. B. Spread fast. C. Was ignored. D. Remained fresh. 34. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. Reasons for popularity of deepfake technology. B. Application of deepfake technology in education. C. Expectation for deepfake technology in society. D. The wide use of deepfake technology in classrooms. 35. What is the authors’ attitude towards the uses of deepfake? A. Objective. B. Disapproving. C. Unclear. D. Favourable. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. B 35. A 【解析】 【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍深度伪造科技（deepfake）在相关领域的积极正面的应用，呼吁公众合理使用该科技。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“While these potential abuses of the technology are real and concerning, it doesn’t mean we should turn a blind eye to the technology’s potential.(虽然这些潜在的技术滥用是真实存在的，也令人担忧，但这并不意味着我们应该对技术的潜力视而不见。)”可知，深度伪造科技确实存在一些滥用的情况，但不能对其潜力视而不见，由此可知，作者提出深度伪造科技也有其积极的一面。故选C项。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线短语前后的“Jaime Donally, a math teacher and technologist, has written about how a type of deepfake technology called Deep Nostalgia…can allow students to form a stronger connection with the past. (数学老师兼技术专家杰米·唐纳利写过一篇文章，讲述了一种名为“Deep Nostalgia”的深度技术如何让学生与过去建立更强的联系。)”可知，一位数学老师兼技术专家写的一篇文章中介绍了一个叫作“Deep Nostalgia”的深度伪造科技如何让学生与过去建立更强联系的，画线短语所在的句子为定语从句，结合下文中的“She never met her grandfather in her real life. Using deepfake technology she was able to make one of the few photos that exist of her grandfather come to life, which was moving for her. “It just gave this deeper connection,” she says.(她在现实生活中从未见过她的祖父。使用深度伪造技术，她能够让祖父为数不多的照片中的一张栩栩如生，这对她来说很感人。她说:“这给了我们更深层次的联系。”)”可知，一项技术能使得从未谋面的人建立更深层次的联系，这样的技术应该会在网上走红，由此可知，画线短语的意思与“网上走红”意义相近。故选B项。 【34题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Teachers have used the deepfake technology to bring historical figures such as Albert Einstein to life.(教师们使用深度假技术将阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦等历史人物栩栩如生地呈现出来。)”以及下文中介绍的几个深度伪造技术在教育领域的案例可知，文章第三段主要陈述了深度伪造科技在教育领域的运用。故选B项。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As much potential as deep fake technology has, there are still important privacy concerns educators need to weigh and evaluate.(尽管深度伪造技术潜力巨大，但教育工作者仍需要权衡和评估重要的隐私问题。)”可知，作者认为深度伪造科技有很大的潜力，但在使用时要权衡重要的隐私问题，由此可知，作者对待深度伪造科技态度是客观的。故选A项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Cleaning your room can feel like a challenging task, but it’s likely a quicker and easier process than you imagine!

To me, running was the worst thing in the world. Running was for athletes or people who liked to hurt themselves. Running was for anyone but me. “Come on, Mary,” my husband said. “No one can exercise for you! You must do it yourself to lose weight and be healthy!” I nodded, trying to wear the armband again and attach my phone to it. I needed the phone to listen to music to draw my attention from how much running would hurt. I also needed it so that I could hear the computer voice of my mile tracker (追踪器) telling me my physical condition with every passing mile. I wasn’t getting any younger. Pushing myself to the limit had never before crossed my mind. But the pounds weren’t exactly disappearing though I improved my eating habits and hoped for the best. The annoying weight was slowly creeping (慢慢移动) to my legs and backside. Actually, it was creeping everywhere. As my doctor put it, “It’s time to put some exercise into your schedule.” My only hope for fighting against heavy weight and age would be through exercise. So here I was about to start the very thing I disliked. “If you don’t hear from me in 30 minutes, come look for me. I could be lying on the side of the road. weak or dead,” I said to my husband. Without even looking at me, my husband said, “Mary, it really won’t be so bad. You just have to get started. Believe me! You’ll do great!” “Right,” I smiled as he continued preparing for his shift. Hesitating, I walked out alone. It was dark and cold outside. 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。 Gathering my courage, I fired up the music and my mile tracker. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Upon finishing a 25-minute run for the first time, I called my husband. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Gathering my courage, I fired up the music and my mile tracker. I began to ran. My ears and nose felt painful in the freezing weather, and the upper parts of my legs pressed each other as I struggled to run forward slowly. I wanted to turn back. But I constantly told myself, “Just keep going for another ten seconds! You need to run for your health!” Within minutes, the air seemed less cold and I focused on the steady beat of the music, letting it carry me forward. Though each step was challenging, I felt myself gradually adapting to the exercise. Upon finishing a 25-minute run for the first time, I called my husband. I told him about my experience. He laughed and said, “As I told you, running actually isn’t that frightening.” I agreed. In the following days, I kept running and always encouraged myself before heading out. Gradually, I settled into a routine of running every day. As I ran farther and farther, I grew increasingly fond of the activity. Running has enhanced not just my physical health, but other aspects of my life as well. While starting may be the hardest step, it is also the gateway to achieving everything we want. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者跑步为线索展开，讲述了作者因为肥胖而不得不开始跑步进行减肥，在一个又黑又冷的日子里，作者在丈夫的鼓励下，准备好了跑步需要的设备，自己一个人走出家门开始跑步的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我鼓足勇气，打开音乐和里程追踪器。”可知，第一段可描写作者开始跑步的感受以及应对的措施。 ②由第二段首句内容“第一次跑完25分钟后，我给丈夫打了个电话。”可知，第二段可描写作者丈夫接到电话后如何鼓励作者的和作者接下来又是如何做的以及作者的感受。 2.续写线索：开始跑步——痛苦，挣扎——逐渐适应——打电话给丈夫——坚持跑步——带来的好处——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①返回：turn back/return/go back ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③出发：head out/set out/start off/set off 情绪类 ①痛苦的：painful/bitter ②喜欢：fond of/be keen on 【点睛】[高分句型1] Within minutes, the air seemed less cold and I focused on the steady beat of the music, letting it carry me forward.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] Though each step was challenging, I felt myself gradually adapting to the exercise.（运用though引导的让步状语从句） [高分句型3] Running has enhanced not just my physical health, but other aspects of my life as well.（运用了not just…but…连接并列宾语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$null
