In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢). “Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body has held up. everything has held up and I’ve made it to 104.” She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued. All together, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4,385 kilometers. During that time she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing... This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s told me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.” 4. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons? A She wanted to set a new record. B. She was driven by her interest C. She intended to challenge herself. D. She was inspired by people like her 5. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with? A.

Nothing is impossible to a willing heart. 7. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Brocrsma? A. Annoyed. B. Admiring. C. Sympathetic. D. Critical. C Exciting new research suggests there could be living things in the clouds above Venus, whose orbit brings it closer to the Earth than any other planets. A study of Venus’ atmosphere shows a type of gas is in its atmosphere. The gas, on the Earth, is only produced by very small creatures. If such creatures are found on Venus, it might be the first evidence of life existing somewhere else in the universe. Scientists found the gas in thick clouds about 35 miles above Venus’ equator. On the Earth, the gas is produced by special forms of life that live in airless environments such as swamps (沼泽). It can also be made in factories but neither explanation helps scientists to understand what the gas is doing on Venus. To get to the bottom of the mystery, the scientists have now made their data public in the hope that others may be able to find a clue that they have missed. Professor Greaves explained that the gas might be produced by some non-living natural process that we haven’t yet discovered, but for now, the idea of life on Venus has to be considered. She added, “In my whole career, I have been interested in the search for life elsewhere in the universe, so I’m just blown away that this is even possible. We are sincerely encouraging other people to tell us what we might have missed. This is how science works.” If scientists on the Earth are unable to find an explanation, then a future mission to Venus might be needed to prove whether or not life exists there. The US space agency NASA is already planning an exploration that they would float on a balloon through the clouds of Venus, and this could be launched sometime in the 2030s. 8. What can we know about Venus according to Paragraph 1? A The thickness of its clouds. B. The existence of a kind of gas. C. The distance from it to the Earth. D. The exact temperature of its atmosphere. 9. Why have the scientists made their data public? A. To seek others’ help to find the truth. B. To change the wrong conclusion before. C. To prove the existence of life on Venus. D. To announce their successful experience. 10. What does the underlined phrase “blown away” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Impressed. B. Upset. C. Grateful. D. Doubtful. 11. Where does the text probably come from? A. A travel brochure. B. A medical report. C. A science magazine. D. A museum handbook. D Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful street art pieces have transformed the city into an open- air gallery. These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fencer Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people. Street artists come from different countries. Their pieces not only capture the essence of Parisian life, from the busy coffee shops to the charming bookstores, but also extend to airports in Lille, Lyon, and Marseille. These cities are co- hosting some of the Olympic events. Street art bridges the gap between high culture and everyday life, making art accessible to everyone. It promotes shared appreciation, inspiring conversations in public spaces like subway stations and airports and encouraging interaction among people of different backgrounds. The Olympics follow strict guidelines and show national spirit, while street art is freer and shows many different cultures from the community. Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential. Creativity and innovation are central to both, driving artists to create with every brushstroke and athletes to excel in every performance as they both explore new heights of achievement. Art competitions first appeared at the Olympics in 1912 in Stockholm, with medals awarded in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture. However, the International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every corner of Paris. “Artists are like athletes. They also require a lot of effort and determination,” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.” 12. What do we know about street art according to paragraph 2? A. It centers around Olympic events. B. It helps strengthen social connections. C. It encourages cooperation between artists. D. It is displayed in open- air galleries in Paris. 13. What do the Olympics and street art have in common? A. They have strict standards to follow. B. They reflect the creativity of communities. C. They emphasize the importance of competition. D. They inspire individuals to pursue their full potential. 14. Which of the following statements will JonOne probably agree with? A. Art should be integrated with the Olympic Games. B. Artists deserve respect from people from all walks of life. C. Street artists should make use of the Olympics to gain popularity. D. The Olympics motivates many artists to create pioneering works. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Street Art Honors Olympic Athletes B. Street Art Adds Colors to the Olympics C. The Olympics Draw Global Attention to Artists D. The Olympics Make Art Walk into People’s Life 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A new urban sport, parkour (跑酷), is hitting the streets. It has developed from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ___16___ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it. Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. ___17___ But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills like running, jumping and crawling. These are the things that humans used to have to do all the time. ___18___ The original idea of parkour was to return to running and jumping in moving from one place to another. Georges Hebert, a French military officer, was so impressed by the athletic performance of African tribes that he designed a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. ___19___ The French word for people who participate in the sport is ‘traceurs’ or ‘traceuses’. Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside, jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the moves to make everything easier. ___20___ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors. A. Parkour was introduced into China in recent years and has gained popularity. B. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon! C. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment. D. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way. E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis. F. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over. G. The word parkour comes from ‘parcours de combatant’, the French term for a military obstacle course. 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D后四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 During the first weeks of his retirement from the fire service, Max had felt lost.

My parents had transplanted me from my old village school to this fancy boarding school in Bangalore. With everything strange around me, I missed my hometown and my old friends because there was now no warm home to rush back to after school and no one to share tales with. I couldn’t help thinking of the happy moments I had spent before moving here. I didn’t even know how long it would take to adapt myself to the completely new environment. Or could I? Just then there was a loud cheer from my classmates that pulled me back from my memories. A tall, slim teacher in a shirt and a starched skirt came by, announcing that the math teacher was absent and that we would have a free period. She then suggested we do some activities on our own without making a loud noise. I soon learned that this was Miss Thomas, better known as the Sports Miss. All the girls agreed cheerfully and soon gathered in small groups. Some chatted or giggled while others read books or were seen writing. As a newcomer, I believed it was too early for me to join them. With nothing better to do, I pulled out a sheet of paper, on which I scrawled (潦草地涂鸦) rolling hills, swaying palms, the path that led to my old school, and my teacher with her long hair. While doing this, I sensed a strong feeling of loss, tears welling up in my eyes. I was so absorbed in drawing my old friends one by one that I didn’t even notice Miss Thomas standing by my side. The moment I raised my head to wipe my tears, I saw her there. I nearly died of embarrassment and tried to hide the paper from her. However, she asked me if I’d like to share it with the class. After a few seconds’ thought, I agreed. 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。 “Girls, look at this picture,” she announced. “We have a little artist among us! ” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Many of my classmates then came forward, shook my hands and smiled at me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆外国语学校华岩校区 2024—2025学年度（上）高2026届9月月考 英语试题 （满分150分，120分钟完成） 第Ⅰ卷 选择题（共95分） 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。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.

I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. (她说：“以前有一个身体健全的人做过这种事。我想看看我是否可以用假腿做这件事，看看会发生什么。”)”可知，Hunt-Broersma决定跑马拉松是为了挑战自己。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued. (使用假肢的跑步者不能使用普通的假肢。他们需要一个刀锋式跑步义肢。Hunt-Broersma有两个刀锋式跑步义肢，但她只能用其中一个，因为她左腿肿胀，无法连接到另一把刀。但即使发生了痛苦，她也能够忍受并继续下去。)”可知，Hunt-Broersma在跑马拉松时，要忍受左腿肿胀带来的不适和痛苦。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第三段中“But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued.

If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing... This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s told me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.” (“它教会了我一个人可以有多坚强，以及绝对的决心有多重要。如果你内心强大，你可以做任何事情，”她说。“我们的身体真是太棒了……整个旅程令人印象深刻，也非常艰难，但它告诉我，作为一个人，我可以有多强大，我可以把自己逼到多远。”)”可知，作者通过Hunt-Broersma的故事告诉读者只要有坚定意志与决心，只要我们迎难而上，坚持不懈，就能取得成功，因此作者通过这个故事表达了“有志者事竟成”的哲理。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢). (上个月跑马拉松的大多数人在赛前休息了几天时间，在赛后恢复了几天时间。但Jacky Hunt-Broersma不是。她总共在104天内跑了104场马拉松。如果吉尼斯世界纪录证实，这将是一项新的世界纪录。她用一条腿和一个假肢完成了这一切。)”和第二段中““Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. (她说：“以前有一个身体健全的人做过这种事。我想看看我是否可以用假腿做这件事，看看会发生什么。”)”和第三段中“But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued. (但即使发生了痛苦，她也能够忍受并继续下去。)”以及最后一段中““It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is.

A study of Venus’ atmosphere shows a type of gas is in its atmosphere. The gas, on the Earth, is only produced by very small creatures. If such creatures are found on Venus, it might be the first evidence of life existing somewhere else in the universe. Scientists found the gas in thick clouds about 35 miles above Venus’ equator. On the Earth, the gas is produced by special forms of life that live in airless environments such as swamps (沼泽). It can also be made in factories but neither explanation helps scientists to understand what the gas is doing on Venus. To get to the bottom of the mystery, the scientists have now made their data public in the hope that others may be able to find a clue that they have missed. Professor Greaves explained that the gas might be produced by some non-living natural process that we haven’t yet discovered, but for now, the idea of life on Venus has to be considered. She added, “In my whole career, I have been interested in the search for life elsewhere in the universe, so I’m just blown away that this is even possible. We are sincerely encouraging other people to tell us what we might have missed. This is how science works.” If scientists on the Earth are unable to find an explanation, then a future mission to Venus might be needed to prove whether or not life exists there. The US space agency NASA is already planning an exploration that they would float on a balloon through the clouds of Venus, and this could be launched sometime in the 2030s. 8. What can we know about Venus according to Paragraph 1? A. The thickness of its clouds. B. The existence of a kind of gas. C. The distance from it to the Earth. D. The exact temperature of its atmosphere. 9. Why have the scientists made their data public? A. To seek others’ help to find the truth. B. To change the wrong conclusion before. C. To prove the existence of life on Venus. D. To announce their successful experience. 10. What does the underlined phrase “blown away” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Impressed. B. Upset. C. Grateful. D. Doubtful. 11. Where does the text probably come from? A. A travel brochure. B. A medical report. C. A science magazine. D. A museum handbook. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现，金星上空的云层中存在一种气体，表明这里可能存在生物，目前对该发现尚无确切的解释，因此科学家们公开了数据，希望其他人能够参与解开谜团。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A study of Venus’ atmosphere shows a type of gas is in its atmosphere. (一项对金星大气的研究表明，金星大气中存在一种气体)”可知，金星大气中有一种气体的存在。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To get to the bottom of the mystery, the scientists have now made their data public in the hope that others may be able to find a clue that they have missed. (为了弄清这个谜团的真相，科学家们现在公开了他们的数据，希望其他人能够找到他们错过的线索)”可知，科学家们公开他们的数据是为了寻求其他人的帮助来发现真相。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语的上文“In my whole career, I have been interested in the search for life elsewhere in the universe (在我的整个职业生涯中，我一直对寻找宇宙中其他地方的生命很感兴趣)”和下文“this is even possible (这甚至是可能的)”可知，此处Greaves教授在描述自己对该发现的感受，她对寻找宇宙中的生命很感兴趣，而该针对金星的研究表明生命的存在是可能的。由此可知，她会对这种可能有深刻印象，画线短语意思应该是“强烈地留下深刻印象”，与impressed意思一致。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Exciting new research suggests there could be living things in the clouds above Venus (令人兴奋新研究表明，金星上空的云层中可能存在生物)”可知，文章主要围绕一项新研究的发现展开，该研究发现金星上空的云层中存在一种气体，表明这里可能存在生物，目前对该发现尚无确切的解释，因此科学家们公开了数据，希望其他人能够参与解开谜团。因此，文章主要和太空科学探索相关，应该出自科学杂志。故选C项。 D Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful street art pieces have transformed the city into an open- air gallery. These artworks, capturing scenes such as the dynamic French fencer Ysaora Thibus and the calm boaters on the Seine River, have made a lasting impression on people. Street artists come from different countries. Their pieces not only capture the essence of Parisian life, from the busy coffee shops to the charming bookstores, but also extend to airports in Lille, Lyon, and Marseille. These cities are co- hosting some of the Olympic events. Street art bridges the gap between high culture and everyday life, making art accessible to everyone. It promotes shared appreciation, inspiring conversations in public spaces like subway stations and airports and encouraging interaction among people of different backgrounds. The Olympics follow strict guidelines and show national spirit, while street art is freer and shows many different cultures from the community. Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential. Creativity and innovation are central to both, driving artists to create with every brushstroke and athletes to excel in every performance as they both explore new heights of achievement. Art competitions first appeared at the Olympics in 1912 in Stockholm, with medals awarded in five categories: architecture, literature, music, painting and sculpture. However, the International Olympic Committee ended the competitions in the 1948 Games. Now, the spirit of the Olympics is reflected in the street art that brightens every corner of Paris. “Artists are like athletes. They also require a lot of effort and determination,” said JonOne, who is a pioneer of street art. “I respect athletes in basketball and runners. Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics. Just surviving as an artist is an Olympic sport.” 12. What do we know about street art according to paragraph 2? A. It centers around Olympic events. B. It helps strengthen social connections. C. It encourages cooperation between artists. D. It is displayed in open- air galleries in Paris. 13. What do the Olympics and street art have in common? A. They have strict standards to follow. B. They reflect the creativity of communities. C. They emphasize the importance of competition. D. They inspire individuals to pursue their full potential. 14. Which of the following statements will JonOne probably agree with? A. Art should be integrated with the Olympic Games. B. Artists deserve respect from people from all walks of life. C. Street artists should make use of the Olympics to gain popularity. D. The Olympics motivates many artists to create pioneering works. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Street Art Honors Olympic Athletes B. Street Art Adds Colors to the Olympics C. The Olympics Draw Global Attention to Artists D. The Olympics Make Art Walk into People’s Life 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是巴黎通过近30个色彩缤纷的街头艺术作品展现奥林匹克精神，这些作品不仅捕捉了巴黎生活的精髓，还延伸到了共同主办奥运会项目的其他城市，成为高雅文化和日常生活之间的桥梁。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It promotes shared appreciation, inspiring conversations in public spaces like subway stations and airports and encouraging interaction among people of different backgrounds.(它促进了共同欣赏，激发了地铁站和机场等公共场所的对话，鼓励了不同背景的人之间的互动)”可知，街头艺术有助于加强社会联系。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Despite their differences, both the Olympic spirit and the world of art share a common platform of values that celebrate the pursuit of excellence, encouraging individuals to reach their highest potential.(尽管存在差异，但奥林匹克精神和艺术世界有着共同的价值观平台，即颂扬追求卓越，鼓励个人发挥最大潜力)”可知，奥运会和街头艺术的共同之处是激励个人追求自己的全部潜力。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Art is not really a sport, but it should be included in the Olympics.(艺术不是一项真正的运动，但它应该被列入奥运会)”可推知，JonOne可能会同意的是艺术应该与奥运会相结合。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Paris embraces the Olympic spirit with a burst of creativity, as nearly 30 colorful street art pieces have transformed the city into an open- air gallery.(巴黎以迸发的创造力拥抱奥林匹克精神，近30个色彩缤纷的街头艺术作品将这座城市变成了一个露天画廊)”可知，本文主要讲的是巴黎通过近30个色彩缤纷的街头艺术作品展现奥林匹克精神，这些作品不仅捕捉了巴黎生活的精髓，还延伸到了共同主办奥运会项目的其他城市，成为高雅文化和日常生活之间的桥梁。由此可知，B选项“Street Art Adds Colors to the Olympics(街头艺术为奥运会增添色彩)”适合作本文最佳标题。故选B。 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 A new urban sport parkour (跑酷), is hitting the streets. It has developed from obstacle course training into a fitness option for young people. In parkour, the outside world is the gym! ___16___ The goal of parkour is a direct route from one place to another. You meet an obstacle, you overcome it. Mark Toorock, who teaches the techniques of parkour at his fitness gym, says that parkour is a method to train the body and mind using obstacles as the medium. He says that this new sport is demanding and takes years to master. ___17___ But Toorock, who used to be a martial arts expert, says that everyone can benefit from learning the basic skills like running, jumping and crawling. These are the things that humans used to have to do all the time. ___18___ The original idea of parkour was to return to running and jumping in moving from one place to another. Georges Hebert, a French military officer, was so impressed by the athletic performance of African tribes that he designed a training method based on running, climbing, jumping, balancing and throwing. ___19___ The French word for people who participate in the sport is ‘traceurs’ or ‘traceuses’. Dr Kenneth Kao explains that the sport of parkour is not extreme – it is the environment which is extreme and dangerous. Being outside, jumping off railings and flipping over park benches can be quite frightening, so parkour courses in gyms concentrate on practicing all the moves to make everything easier. ___20___ However, that is not real parkour because it’s indoors with a fixed obstacle. The goal for everyone is to go outdoors. A. Parkour was introduced into China in recent years and has gained popularity. B. Beginners should realize that they won’t be jumping over buildings any time soon! C. The bridges, buildings and railings (栏杆) of each and every city are the equipment. D. Every action in parkour is natural, so everyone must have the ability to move in this way. E. But today, due to modern transport, these basic skills are no longer used on a regular basis. F. Gyms provide thick floor matting (垫子) for rolling and rubberized boxes for jumping over. G. The word parkour comes from ‘parcours de combatant’, the French term for a military obstacle course. 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. E 19. G 20.

My parents had transplanted me from my old village school to this fancy boarding school in Bangalore. With everything strange around me, I missed my hometown and my old friends because there was now no warm home to rush back to after school and no one to share tales with. I couldn’t help thinking of the happy moments I had spent before moving here. I didn’t even know how long it would take to adapt myself to the completely new environment. Or could I? Just then there was a loud cheer from my classmates that pulled me back from my memories. A tall, slim teacher in a shirt and a starched skirt came by, announcing that the math teacher was absent and that we would have a free period. She then suggested we do some activities on our own without making a loud noise. I soon learned that this was Miss Thomas, better known as the Sports Miss. All the girls agreed cheerfully and soon gathered in small groups. Some chatted or giggled while others read books or were seen writing. As a newcomer, I believed it was too early for me to join them. With nothing better to do, I pulled out a sheet of paper, on which I scrawled (潦草地涂鸦) rolling hills, swaying palms, the path that led to my old school, and my teacher with her long hair. While doing this, I sensed a strong feeling of loss, tears welling up in my eyes. I was so absorbed in drawing my old friends one by one that I didn’t even notice Miss Thomas standing by my side. The moment I raised my head to wipe my tears, I saw her there. I nearly died of embarrassment and tried to hide the paper from her. However, she asked me if I’d like to share it with the class. After a few seconds’ thought, I agreed. 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。 “Girls, look at this picture,” she announced. “We have a little artist among us! ” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Many of my classmates then came forward, shook my hands and smiled at me. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】one possible version : “Girls, look at this picture,”she announced.“ We have a little artist among us !”She asked me to introduce my drawing. Nervously, I held up my drawing and began describing it, my voice filed with hesitation. To my astonishment, as I finished speaking, the entire class erupted into warm applause. Miss Thomas, with a warm smile, wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug and said to my classmates, “Let’s all congratulate our little artist!” Tears welled up in my eyes once again, but this time it was the outpouring of joy from my deep heart. Manyof my classmates then came forward, shook my hands and smiled at me. Some even hugged me tightly, making me quickly integrate into this warm family. At that time, I found the world was far more beautiful than I had imagined. Actually, my art was nothing extraordinary, but Miss Thomas broke the ice and planted unwavering confidence within me. I continued in the same school right up to the 10th grade, always with our Sports Miss as a guide, finishing off as the best student in my class. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者转学到了新学校，感到迷茫和不适应。然而老师却意外注意到了作者的绘画十分出色，并且让全班的学生来看。作者也因此得到了同学的认可，感到十分高兴。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“‘姑娘们，看看这张画，’她宣布”可知，第一段可描写作者介绍自己的画以及得到祝贺。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后我的许多同学走上前来，和我握手，对我微笑”可知，第二段可描写作者得到了同学的认可，改善了人际关系。 2.续写线索：绘画被发现——鼓励同学来看——介绍绘画——得到认可——关系改善——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/accomplish ②爆发：erupt into /burst into ③继续：continue to/go on 情绪类 ①快乐：joy/happiness ②美丽：beautiful/gorgeous 【点睛】[高分句型1] To my astonishment, as I finished speaking, the entire class erupted into warm applause.
