B Raised in a fatherless home, my father was extremely tightfisted towards us children. His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 4. What did the author think of the two-mile walk home? A. It reflected his value. B. It was the most troublesome. C. It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns. D. It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers. 5. How did the author feel when he saw the hedge? A. Disappointed. B. Hopeful. C. Frustrated. D. Regretful. 6. Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge? A The author often changed routes back home. B. He wanted to help the author build up courage. C. He was really concerned about his son’s safety. D. That was the only way he could express his love. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Father’s Secret. B. My Childhood Life. C. Terrible Journey Home. D. Riding Bus Alone. C Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team adopted a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 8. How does the AI predict earthquakes? A By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 9. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 10. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 11. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Advanced and promising. D Turn on a light outside at night, and it won’t be long before lots of insects start gathering around it. This behavior has led to a popular comparison for attraction, “like a moth to a flame.” However, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, it turns out that insects aren’t “attracted” to artificial lights, but rather confused by it. The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation (定位). Due to their small and lightweight bodies, insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations (加速度), which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight. So, they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However, the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction. The insects you see circling street lights, in other words, are probably lost. To reach these conclusions, scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica. They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way, researchers can slow down the insects pace and study their movements in greater detail. The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light — even at the price of flipping over or crashing. This can be dangerous for insects, as circling around artificial lights can put them at risk from enemies, exhaustion, and starvation, causing many to die before morning. Night artificial light is a major cause of insect population loss, which could severely impact crop pollination and food supplies for larger animals, including humans. “Insects have been flying around for 370 million years, and it’s just in the last 150 years that it’s really gone wrong for them,” says entomologist Samuel Fabian of Imperial College London. “If we don’t want to influence large amounts of insect populations, we should not have lights shining up into the sky.” 12. What have scientists found out about insects? A. Artificial lights can disturb their sense of direction. B. Their populations are in decline. C. They often fly quickly during the night. D. Their eyesight is well adapted to light changes. 13. How did the scientists conduct the experiment? A. By detecting the living environment of insects. B. By monitoring the insects’ brain activity during flight. C. By making videos to study insects’ movements. D. By building models to analyze insects’ motion patterns. 14. Why does the author mention Fabian’s words in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of insects to food supplies. B. To appeal to people to reduce light pollution. C. To show the reasons for insects flying around lights. D. To explain the effects of insects’ death on human life. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Artificial Lights Impact the Ecosystem B. What Leads to the Loss of Insect Populations C. How Insects Orient Themselves in the Flight D. Why Insects are Attracted to Lights at Night 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。 How to Avoid an Internet Addiction It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days.

This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble. Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water. Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim?” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears? 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。 To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 油田一中2024-2025学年上学期高三英语九月考试 (考试时间：120分钟试卷满分：150分) 第一部分听力(共30分) 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。 1.What is the man looking for?

His attitude didn’t soften as I grew into adulthood and drifted away to college. I had to ride the bus whenever I came home. Though the bus stopped about two miles from home, Dad never met me, even in cold weather. If I grumbled (嘟囔), he’d say in his loudest father voice, “That’s what your legs are for!” The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. I also felt less than valued that my father didn’t seem concerned about my safety. That feeling was canceled one spring evening. It had been a particularly difficult week at college after long hours in labs. I longed for home. When the bus reached a stop, I stepped off and dragged my suitcase to begin the long journey home. A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. On that particular evening, the hedge had just come into view when I saw something gray moving along the top of the hedge, moving toward the house. Upon closer observation, I realized it was the top of my father’s head. Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all. On later visits, that spot of gray became my watchtower. I could hardly wait until I was close enough to watch for its secret movement above the greenery. Upon reaching home, I would find my father sitting innocently in his chair. “So! My son, it’s you!” he’d say, his face lengthening into pretended surprise. I replied, “Yes, Dad, it’s me. I’m home.” 4. What did the author think of the two-mile walk home? A. It reflected his value. B. It was the most troublesome. C. It wasn’t ranked number one in his concerns. D. It was extremely unbearable in cold weathers. 5. How did the author feel when he saw the hedge? A. Disappointed. B. Hopeful. C. Frustrated. D. Regretful. 6. Why did the author’s father watch behind the hedge? A. The author often changed routes back home. B. He wanted to help the author build up courage. C. He was really concerned about his son’s safety. D. That was the only way he could express his love. 7. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Father’s Secret. B. My Childhood Life. C. Terrible Journey Home. D. Riding Bus Alone. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了作者的父亲表面上不关心自己的孩子，实际上会躲在树篱后看着儿子回家，确保孩子的安全。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中“The walk didn’t bother me as much as the fear of walking alone along the highway and country roads. (步行并没有像独自沿着高速公路和乡间小路行走的恐惧那样困扰我。)”可知，步行两英里回家不是作者最担心的事情，故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“A row of hedge (篱笆) edged the driveway that climbed the hill to our house. Once I had turned off the highway to start the last lap of my journey, I was always relieved to see the hedge because it meant that I was almost home. (一排篱笆沿着爬山到我们家的车道。一旦我离开高速公路开始我旅程的最后一圈，我总是松了一口气，因为这意味着我快到家了。)”可知，作者看到树篱时会觉得充满希望，故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Then I knew, each time I’d come home, he had stood behind the hedge, watching, until he knew I had arrived safely. I swallowed hard against the threatening tears. He did care, after all. (然后我知道，每次我回家时，他都站在篱笆后面看着，直到他知道我安全到达。我强忍着眼泪狠狠地咽了口唾沫。毕竟，他确实在乎。)”可知，作者的父亲在树篱后面看着是因为他真的关心儿子的安全，故选C项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述了作者的父亲表面上不关心自己的儿子，实际上会躲在树篱后看着儿子回家，确保孩子的安全，A项“Father’s Secret. (父亲的秘密)”可以概括文章主题，故选A项。 C Artificial intelligence (AI) is showing promise in earthquake prediction, challenging the long-held belief that it is impossible. Researchers at the University of Texas, Austin, have developed an AI algorithm (算法) that correctly predicted 70% of earthquakes a week in advance during a trial in China and provided accurate strength calculations for the predicted earthquakes. The research team adopted a relatively simple machine learning approach. The AI was provided with a set of statistical features based on the team’s knowledge of earthquake physics, and then instructed to train itself using a five-year database of earthquake recordings. Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings (隆隆声) in the Earth. This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. “You don’t see earthquakes coming,” explains Alexandros Savvaidis, a senior research scientist who leads the Texas Seismological Network Program (TexNet). “It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70% accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.” While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks. The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes. Eventually, the authors hope to combine the system with physics-based models. This strategy could prove especially important where data is poor or lacking. “That may be a long way off, but many advances such as this one, taken together, are what moves science forward,” concludes Scott Tinker, the bureau’s director. 8. How does the AI predict earthquakes? A. By identifying data from the satellites. B. By analyzing background sounds in the Earth. C. By modeling data based on earthquake recordings. D. By monitoring changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. 9. What does Alexandros Savvaidis intend to show in paragraph3? A. The ways to reduce losses in earthquakes. B. The importance of preparing for earthquakes. C. The significance of developing the AI prediction. D. The limitation of AI algorithms in earthquake prediction. 10. What does the follow-up research focus on? A. Conducting tests in different locations. B. Applying the AI approach to other fields. C. Building more earthquake stations in Texas. D. Enlarging the database to train the calculation accuracy. 11. Which words can best describe the earthquake-predicting technology? A. Stable but outdated. B. Effective but costly. C. Potential and economical. D. Advanced and promising. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究人员在地震预测方面取得的进展，特别是他们开发的AI算法在地震预测方面的应用及其效果。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段尤其是最后一句“Once trained, the AI provided its prediction by listening for signs of incoming earthquakes within the background rumblings(隆隆声)in the Earth.(经过训练后，人工智能通过在地球的背景隆隆声中倾听即将到来的地震迹象来提供预测。)”可知，人工智能通过在地球的背景隆隆声中倾听即将到来的地震迹象预测地震，由此可知，人工智能通过分析地震时的背景声音预测地震。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction. (这项工作显然是人工智能驱动的地震预测研究的一个里程碑。)”可知，该项研究是人工智能驱动的地震预测研究的一个里程碑，结合下文中的“It’s a matter of milliseconds, and the only thing you can control is how prepared you are. Even with the 70 % accuracy, that’s a huge result and could help minimize economic and human losses and has the potential to remarkably improve earthquake preparation worldwide.(这只是几毫秒的问题，你唯一能控制的就是你准备得有多充分。即使准确率达到70%，这也是一个巨大的成果，可以帮助最大限度地减少经济和人员损失，并有可能显著改善全球的地震准备工作。)”可知，Alexandros Savvaidis认为，即便是70%的准确性也极其重要，因为它可以减少经济损失，人员伤亡，还有可能提高全世界对地震发生的准备（和预防），综合以上信息可知，Alexandros Savvaidis打算展示发展人工智能预测的意义。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中的“The next step is to test artificial intelligence in Texas, since UT’s Bureau TexNet has 300 earthquake stations and over six years worth of continuous records, making it an ideal location for these purposes.(下一步是在德克萨斯州测试人工智能，因为德克萨斯大学的德克萨斯网络局有300个地震观测站，有超过6年的连续记录，使其成为进行这些研究的理想地点。)”可知，下一步打算在德克萨斯州测试人工智能对地震预测的情况，因为该州有300个地震观测站，是进行这些研究的理想地点，由此可知，后续研究的关注点在于在不同地点进行测试。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“This work is clearly a milestone in research for AI-driven earthquake prediction.(这项工作显然是人工智能驱动的地震预测研究的一个里程碑。)”可知，这项工作显然是人工智能驱动地震预测研究中的一个里程碑，结合第四段中的“While it is unknown whether the same approach will work at other locations, the researchers are confident that their AI algorithm could produce more accurate predictions if used in areas with reliable earthquake tracking networks.(虽然尚不清楚同样的方法是否会在其他地方起作用，但研究人员相信，如果在拥有可靠地震跟踪网络的地区使用，他们的人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测。)”可知，如果在拥有可靠地震跟踪网络的地区使用，他们的人工智能算法可以产生更准确的预测，由此可知，该地震预测技术是富有开创性且发展前景良好。故选D项。 D Turn on a light outside at night, and it won’t be long before lots of insects start gathering around it. This behavior has led to a popular comparison for attraction, “like a moth to a flame.” However, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, it turns out that insects aren’t “attracted” to artificial lights, but rather confused by it. The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation (定位). Due to their small and lightweight bodies, insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations (加速度), which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight. So, they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However, the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction. The insects you see circling street lights, in other words, are probably lost. To reach these conclusions, scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica. They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way, researchers can slow down the insects pace and study their movements in greater detail. The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light — even at the price of flipping over or crashing. This can be dangerous for insects, as circling around artificial lights can put them at risk from enemies, exhaustion, and starvation, causing many to die before morning. Night artificial light is a major cause of insect population loss, which could severely impact crop pollination and food supplies for larger animals, including humans. “Insects have been flying around for 370 million years, and it’s just in the last 150 years that it’s really gone wrong for them,” says entomologist Samuel Fabian of Imperial College London. “If we don’t want to influence large amounts of insect populations, we should not have lights shining up into the sky.” 12. What have scientists found out about insects? A. Artificial lights can disturb their sense of direction. B. Their populations are in decline. C. They often fly quickly during the night. D. Their eyesight is well adapted to light changes. 13. How did the scientists conduct the experiment? A. By detecting the living environment of insects. B. By monitoring the insects’ brain activity during flight. C. By making videos to study insects’ movements. D. By building models to analyze insects’ motion patterns. 14. Why does the author mention Fabian’s words in the last paragraph? A. To stress the importance of insects to food supplies. B. To appeal to people to reduce light pollution. C. To show the reasons for insects flying around lights. D. To explain the effects of insects’ death on human life. 15. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Artificial Lights Impact the Ecosystem B. What Leads to the Loss of Insect Populations C. How Insects Orient Themselves in the Flight D. Why Insects are Attracted to Lights at Night 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。详细解释了昆虫为何会被夜间的灯光所吸引，揭示了背后的科学原因，并指出了这种现象对昆虫以及生态环境可能产生的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The new finding is based on a theory about insect orientation (定位). Due to their small and lightweight bodies, insects experience less air resistance, allowing them to achieve higher accelerations (加速度), which in turn makes it challenging for them to sense up and down during flight. So, they typically rely on stable light sources like the moon and stars to orient themselves at night, keeping the sky at their backs to stay upright. However, the introduction of artificial lights confuses their natural sense of direction. The insects you see circling street lights, in other words, are probably lost. (这一新发现是基于昆虫定位的理论。由于昆虫体积小、重量轻，所受到的空气阻力较小，使它们能够获得更高的加速度，而这反过来又使它们在飞行中很难感知上下方向。因此，它们通常依靠稳定的光源，如月亮和星星，在夜间进行定位，保持天空在它们的背后，以保持身体直立。然而，人造光的引入扰乱了它们的自然方向感。换句话说，你看到在路灯周围盘旋的昆虫，可能迷失了方向。)”可知，关于昆虫，科学家们发现人造光会干扰它们的方向感。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“To reach these conclusions, scientists used high-resolution cameras to film insects flying around artificial lights in Costa Rica. They also attached tiny sensors to insects and filmed motion-capture videos of them in flight. In this way, researchers can slow down the insects pace and study their movements in greater detail. The videos showed insects turning their backs toward sources of artificial light—even at the price of flipping over or crashing. (为了得出这些结论，科学家们使用高分辨率摄像机拍摄了哥斯达黎加昆虫在人造光周围飞行的视频。他们还在昆虫身上附着了微型传感器，并拍摄了它们在飞行中的动作捕捉视频。通过这种方式，研究人员可以放慢昆虫的速度，更详细地研究它们的运动。视频显示，昆虫会背对人造光源，甚至不惜以翻身或坠落的代价。)”可知，科学家们通过制作视频来研究昆虫的运动进行实验的。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Insects have been flying around for 370 million years, and it’s just in the last 150 years that it’s really gone wrong for them,” says entomologist Samuel Fabian of Imperial College London. “If we don’t want to influence large amounts of insect populations, we should not have lights shining up into the sky.” (伦敦帝国理工学院的昆虫学家塞缪尔·法比安说：“昆虫已经飞行了3.7亿年，只是在过去的150年里，它们才真正出现了问题。”“如果我们不想影响大量的昆虫种群，我们就不应该让灯光照亮天空。”)”可知，此处法比安说如果我们不想影响大量的昆虫种群，我们就不应该让灯光照亮天空，所以是在呼吁人们减少光污染。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Tun on a light outside at night, and it won’t be long before lots of insects start gathering around it. This behavior has led to a popular comparison for attraction, “like a moth to a flame.” However, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, it turns out that insects aren’t “attracted” to artificial lights, but rather confused by it. (晚上在外面开一盏灯，不久就会有许多昆虫开始聚集在它周围。这种行为导致人们将吸引力比作“飞蛾扑火”。然而，根据发表在《自然通讯》杂志上的一项新研究，事实证明，昆虫并没有被人造光“吸引”，而是被人造光弄糊涂了)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要解释了昆虫为何会被夜间的灯光所吸引，揭示了背后的科学原因，所以D项“Why Insects are Attracted to Lights at Night (为什么昆虫在夜间会被灯光吸引)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 How to Avoid an Internet Addiction It may seem like everyone surfs the web these days.

This fear could not be explained, but I knew that the moment I stepped near any body of water, my legs would turn to jelly (果冻). I would imagine myself drowning in the water and thrashing around (乱扑腾) helplessly. That was why I had never gone into a swimming pool until swimming became a school requirement. My school wanted all pupils to pass a swimming test, and if they could not, then they would have to attend weekly swimming lessons in school, which made me tremble. Thus, my parents signed me up for swimming lessons at the pool near my house. With great unwillingness, I attended those weekly lessons, and each one was great suffering for me. I was naturally clumsy, and my fear of water did not help at all. Every lesson, I would be spending my time thrashing about in the water, while my classmates would be swimming countless laps effortlessly and even turning over like dolphins in the water. How was I going to pass the test at this rate? In my swimming class, there was an exceptionally athletic girl. Tall and muscular, her name was Kathy. She was the best swimmer in our class and always looked at me with disdain (鄙视), especially when I thrashed about hopelessly in the water. Once, after a particularly long and hard swimming lesson, I spotted Kathy swimming gracefully in the pool. Gathering my courage, I asked gently, “Kathy, can you teach me to swim?” She stared at me coldly. It was as if I stood at the edge of an endless ocean of inadequacy, my fears appearing like dark storm clouds threatening to drown me. Yet, in that moment, a glimmer of hope flashed within me, a desperate longing for guidance and acceptance. Would Kathy’s icy exterior (外表) melt under the warmth of empathy, or would I remain forever thrashing in the sea of my own fears? 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： To my surprise, she nodded after a few moments of silence. From then on, Kathy stayed back for about an hour after every swimming lesson to coach me. She taught me how to propel myself forward in the water and I gradually gained confidence in the pool. Slowly but surely, I improved under her guidance and encouragement. Four months later, it was time for me to take my swimming test. I jumped into the pool and followed all of Kathy’s advice. I swam gracefully, just like a fish, and passed the test with flying colours. “Congratulations!” Kathy said when she learnt I had passed the swimming test. I threw my arms around her and hugged her tightly. “Thank you! You’re a wonderful friend! If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!” I exclaimed. Since then, our friendship has blossomed. We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow. Surprisingly, I grew to love the water. A friend like Kathy is hard to come by. She has a heart of gold and I will definitely treasure our precious friendship. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者非常怕水，但是学校要求所有学生都要通过游泳考试，于是父母在家附近为作者报了游泳课程，作者不情愿地去上课，上课过程也非常痛苦，Kathy是游泳课上表现最好的学生，一次艰难的游泳课后作者鼓起勇气问Kathy能否教自己有用，忐忑地等待Kathy的回答。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令我吃惊的是，沉默了一会儿之后，她点了点头。”可知，第一段可描写Kathy指导作者游泳，作者顺利通过了游泳考试。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘恭喜你！’Kathy得知我通过了游泳考试后说。”可知，第二段可描写作者感谢Kathy并和Kathy成为了朋友。 2.续写线索：教游泳——进步——通过考试——感谢——成为朋友——爱上水 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①进步：improve/make progress ②拥抱：hug/embrace ③玩得开心：have fun/enjoy oneself 情绪类 ①自信：gain confidence/become confident ②惊讶：surprisingly/astinoshingly 【点睛】[高分句型1] If it had not been for you, I would not have done so well!（由if引导的虚拟条件句） [高分句型2] We met frequently to have fun with each other, sharing both joy and sorrow.（由现分词作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
