I fancy myself a source of inspiration for them, who would say, “If he can do it, I can, too!” For some years before we stepped on the real stage, our recitals (演奏会) were given online. I could play perfectly — when no one was looking. But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious. However, last year was a whole new ball game. That spring came with a real stage. An excited crowd. Clapping. Filming. A real recital! Exciting but stressful. I didn’t know if I could handle it. The adorable little performers were delicately dressed in their party-best skirts, with leather shoes hanging beneath too-high chairs, unable to reach the ground. Luckily, I could. We sat among the guests before the show, struck by their excitement. One by one, up and down, my fellow students went — each playing superbly. Then, it was my turn. I thought I was ready. But I struggled from the start. I kept my fingers moving. Sound still radiated from the strings, but the tune was all wrong. I restarted both pieces three times. When I got totally lost for a few notes in the middle, I thought, “I don’t know what this is anymore, but, hey, it sounds kind of nice!” I kept thinking, “Make a joyful noise, regardless!” That eight minutes was like eight hours. Being the eldest in the room often makes people think you’re the best. The truth, especially at that recital, was far different. But I would have awarded myself the gold for chutzpah — start playing a new instrument at 62, and then perform in front of a large audience. Making music knows no age, and all players are welcome. Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying. 4. What can be inferred about the author at online recitals? A. He suffered mild stress in playing. B. He felt too nervous to play publicly. C. He paid no attention to the audience. D. He played better than other performers. 5. How did the author deal with his stage fright on the real stage? A. By keeping a positive mindset. B. By interacting with the audience. C. By adjusting the order of his pieces. D. By focusing on the playing techniques. 6. What does the underlined word “chutzpah” refer to in paragraph 6? A. Honesty and tolerance. B. Experience and wisdom. C. Competence and talent. D. Determination and courage. 7. What message does the author seem to convey in the text? A. Hard work pays off. B. Age is no barrier to trying. C. Practice makes perfect. D. Failure is the mother of success. C Livestreaming (直播) through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online. It usually lasts between 5 and 10 minutes, and someone promotes a product. Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link. We analyzed (分析) 99,451 sales cases on a livestream selling platform and matched them with actual sales cases. In terms of time, that is equal to over 2 million 30-second television advertisements. To determine the emotional (情绪的) expression of the salesperson, we used two deep learning models: a face model and an emotion model. The face model discovers the presence or absence of a face in a frame of a video stream. The emotion model then determines the probability that a face is exhibiting any of the six basic human emotions: happiness, sadness, surprise, anger, fear or disgust. For example, smiling signals a high probability of happiness, while an off-putting expression usually points toward anger. We wanted to see the effect of emotions expressed at different times in the sales cases so we counted probabilities for each emotion for all 62 million frames in our database. We then combined these probabilities with other possible aspects that might drive sales — such as price and product characteristics — to judge the effect of emotion. We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople show more negative emotions — such as anger and disgust — the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise. A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smiling can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense. 8. What can we know about the livestreaming to sell goods online? A. It challenges the physical economy. B. It helps big company sell all goods. C. It is very convenient for the buyers. D. It helps the sellers develop fixed expressions. 9. What does the underlined word “off-putting” mean in paragraph 3? A. Unhappy. B. Awkward. C. Surprised. D. Frightened. 10. How do customers feel about the seller’s smiling? A. They feel thankful. B. They feel delighted. C. They feel cheated. D. They feel so tired. 11. Which of the following could be the best title for the text? A. Livestreamers Sell Products Successfully B. Smiling Can Increase the Sales in Reality C. Emotions and Faces: What’s the Difference D. Expressions Affect Selling Products Online D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions. Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals. 12 What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s development. B. Sora’s diversity. C. Sora’s capabilities. D. Sora’s popularity. 13. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5? A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations. C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 14. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off. C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT C Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos D. Sora:A perfect text-to-video AI model 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。 Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. ___16___ First, work on changing your own behavior. Then, find effective ways to communicate if someone bothers you. Changing Your Behavior ●Think before you speak. ___17___ Sometimes, it’s best to let small indiscretions (轻率的行为) go. Try taking a few deep breaths and leaving the room instead of criticizing. ●Separate the individual from their actions. If you work on separating the person from the action, you may naturally want to criticize less. As you realize you cannot judge a person’s character based on a single choice or decision, you will be unable to call someone out for being rude or disrespectful. ●Focus on positives. Oftentimes, being critical results from how you’re choosing to see a situation. Everyone has shortcomings. However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ___18___ Communicating More Effectively ●___19___ Some people have issues that may need addressing. However, feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue, focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve, which is more effective than criticizing. ●Ask for what you want directly. Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism. ___20___ Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct, respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism. ●Consider the other party’s perspective. If you criticize others too often, you may be shutting out the other person’s point of view. Try to step in another person’s shoes before criticizing and you may get some new and special ideas. A. Give feedback rather than criticism. B. However, there are ways to avoid criticism. C. Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones. D. If you find yourself making assumptions about a person’s character, stop yourself. E.

Sometimes, I feel I’m the only one who notices their beauty. Yet, if it hadn’t been for the crowded dining hall, I wouldn’t have noticed Emily. Emily was a new student, quiet and unnoticeable. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. At the break time, she just sat on a bench and read. After a month at school, she hadn’t made any friend. If you asked who she was, you’d get a response like this, “She’s in my PE class, but I can’t remember her name.” During lunch one day, with most tables occupied, I found myself without a place to sit. I was at a loss what to do when I spotted Emily alone, book in hand. I walked over to her and asked. “Can I take this seat?” She glanced up and lightly said “Yes”. The cafeteria was buzzing with excitement for the upcoming talent show. Merry laughter and lively conversations filled the air, making the place alive with anticipation for the event. But Emily, lost in her book, didn’t seem to mind at all. Silence hung between us and it drove me crazy. I searched my mind for things to say. “So,” I said, “is that a good book?” Emily gave me a small nod and went back to reading. Curiosity getting the better of me, I continued, “What’s the book about?” She looked at me,eyes shining. Eagerly she shared the story of a musical talent, painting vivid images with her words. “That sounds cool,”I replied, somewhat amazed by the usual quiet girl. The noisy cafeteria carried on with its hum as students heatedly discussed the talent show. Eager to continue our engaging conversation, I asked, “So, any plans for the show?” Emily paused, setting her book aside, “Oh,” she said, “I don’t know. Maybe nothing.” Her words carried a bit of uncertainty. It seemed as if the idea of showing her talent was still taking shape in her mind. 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。 Time flew by and the day of the talent show finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The hall fell into silence as she began to perform. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 潮阳中英文学校2024-2025学年上学期9月月考 高二 英语试卷 说明：本试卷满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Hope Book Club A book club is a small group of persons that are reading the same book in order to share different feelings and opinions about the book.

But those online recitals caused me a kind of stage fright. Something about being watched and recorded, perhaps? Anyway, it was not too serious.

Looking back, I realize my lengthy life experience has taught me that the show must go on — no matter what is occurring. Life’s music is playing! It’s my job to just show up and keep trying.(制作音乐不分年龄，欢迎所有的玩家。回首往事，我意识到我漫长的人生经历教会了我，无论发生什么，演出都必须继续下去。生命的音乐正在奏响!我的工作就是出现并继续努力。)”可知，作者想要传达的信息是年龄不是尝试新事物的障碍。故选B。 C Livestreaming (直播) through channels such as Amazon Live and QVC is an increasingly popular way to sell goods online.

Smiling Can Increase the Sales in Reality C. Emotions and Faces: What’s the Difference D. Expressions Affect Selling Products Online 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说一篇明文。文章介绍了网络售货时，主播面部表情对网络销售效果的影响。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Viewers can then readily buy it by clicking on a link.(观众可以通过点击链接来购买)”可知，观众可以通过点击链接来购买东西，即网络购物对于消费者而言很方便。故选C项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“For example, smiling signals a high probability of happiness(例如，微笑表示幸福的可能性很高)”以及while可知，本句中while为连词，意为“然而”，表示前后两种情况的对比，由后文anger可知，微笑表示幸福，而不高兴的表情通常指向愤怒，所以划线单词为“不高兴的”。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople show more negative emotions — such as anger and disgust — the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.(我们发现，当销售人员传达更多的负面情绪时——比如愤怒和厌恶——销售额就会下降，这也许并不令人意外。但我们也发现，当销售人员表现出高水平的积极情绪时，比如高兴或惊讶，也会发生类似的事情)”和第六段“A likely explanation, based on our research, is that smiling can be disgusting because it lacks true feelings and can reduce trust in the seller. A seller’s happiness may be taken as a sign that the seller is gaining interests at the customer’s expense.(根据我们的研究，一个可能的解释是，微笑可能很恶心，因为它缺乏真实的感觉，会降低对卖家的信任。销售者的快乐可能被认为是一种迹象，表明销售者正在以顾客的损失为代价获取利益)”可推断，消费者不喜欢卖家在直播中微笑是因为他们觉得被骗了。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“We found that, perhaps unsurprisingly, when salespeople show more negative emotions — such as anger and disgust — the volume of sales went down. But we also found that a similar thing happened when the salespeople show high levels of positive emotions, such as happiness or surprise.(我们发现，当销售人员传达更多的负面情绪时——比如愤怒和厌恶——销售额就会下降，这也许并不令人意外。但我们也发现，当销售人员表现出高水平的积极情绪时，比如高兴或惊讶，也会发生类似的事情)”及全文可知，文章主要介绍了网络售货时，主播面部表情对网络销售效果的影响。所以“Expressions Affect Selling Products Online (表情影响网上销售)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D项。 D Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions. Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests. Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing. Sora can create detailed scenes with several characters, specific types of motion, and accurate subject and background details. Beyond the user’s requests, it also understands how these elements exist in the real world. For example, reflections in the water change as a woman walks by. Sora’s amazing performance wouldn’t be possible without its helpful assistant, ChatGPT, which transforms simple sentences into detailed descriptions, improving the accuracy of output. However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another. For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions and find it hard to describe events in the right order. One possible reason is that Sora learns each basic unit of a video, known as a spacetime patch (时空补丁), independently. Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals. 12. What is the main focus of paragraph 2 and 3? A. Sora’s development. B. Sora’s diversity. C. Sora’s capabilities. D. Sora’s popularity. 13. Why does the author provide the example in paragraph 5? A. To highlight Sora’s potential safety risks. B. To illustrate Sora’s existing limitations. C. To showcase Sora’s perfect performance. D. To explain the concept of a spacetime patch. 14. What can we know about Sora up to now? A. It has been made available to various industries. B. Its commercial release has been called off. C. It has exposed alarming security issues. D. It is undergoing testing and improvement. 15. What’s the best title for the text? A. Sora: Lead the way in creating videos B. Sora: Surpass existing ChatGPT C. Sora:Generate a rich variety of videos D. Sora:A perfect text-to-video AI model 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了最新的文本到视频模型Sora可以将文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明，文章讲述了这个视频模型的优势以及局限性。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Sora is said to be superior to many other existing models with similar functions. The AI model can create videos at suitable aspect ratios (屏幕高宽比) for different devices. It also lets users quickly test out content in lower quality before making the high-quality version, which helps speed up output according to the user’s requests.(据说Sora比许多具有类似功能的其他现有型号优越。人工智能模型可以为不同的设备创建合适的长宽比视频。它还允许用户在制作高质量版本之前快速测试低质量的内容，这有助于根据用户的要求加快输出速度)”以及第三段“Aside from this, its ability to present videos in a realistic and smooth manner is astonishing.(除此之外，它以逼真和流畅的方式呈现视频的能力令人惊讶)”可知，这两段主要讲述Sora的能力。故选C。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“However, the current model isn’t perfect. It may have trouble accurately showing how things move in a complicated scene and might not get how one action leads to another.(然而，目前的模式并不完美。它可能无法准确地显示复杂场景中的事物如何移动，也可能无法理解一个动作如何导致另一个动作)”以及接下来的例子“For example, if someone eats part of a cookie in a Sora-made video, the cookie might not look like it’s been bitten into. The model might mix up directions like left and right, and find it hard to describe events in the right order.(例如，如果有人在Sora制作的视频中吃了一部分饼干，饼干可能看起来不像被咬过。模型可能会混淆方向，如左和右，并发现很难以正确的顺序描述事件)”可推断，下文的例子是为了说明Sora的局限性。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Sora is still in the testing stage of development. OpenAI is now inviting network security professionals to make random attacks on Sora’s system, aiming to test the model’s possible weaknesses and risks. Sora has also been open to some visual artists, designers and filmmakers. Their feedback will assist OpenAI in enhancing the model to better serve creative professionals.(Sora仍处于测试开发阶段。OpenAI现在正在邀请网络安全专家对Sora系统进行随机攻击，旨在测试该模型可能存在的弱点和风险。Sora也向一些视觉艺术家、设计师和电影制作人开放。他们的反馈将有助于OpenAI改进模型，更好地为创意专业人士服务)”可知，Sora正在进行测试和改进。故选D。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Artificial intelligence(AI) models have long surpassed just creating text responses and images. Now, with only one sentence, Open AI’s latest text-to-video model, Sora, can turn your words into video with good visual quality while faithfully following your content instructions.(人工智能模型早已不仅仅是创建文本响应和图像。现在，只需一句话，Open AI最新的文本到视频模型Sora就可以将您的文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明)”结合文章主要讲述了最新的文本到视频模型Sora可以将文字转换为视觉质量良好的视频，同时忠实地遵循您的内容说明，文章讲述了这个视频模型的优势以及局限性。可知，A选项“Sora：引领视频创作”最符合文章标题。故选A。 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。 Criticism is harmful to healthy relationships. ___16___ First, work on changing your own behavior.

However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones. ___18___ Communicating More Effectively ●___19___ Some people have issues that may need addressing.

Everyone has shortcomings. However, the vast majority of people have good qualities that outweigh bad ones.（通常，批判源于你选择如何看待一个情况。每个人都有缺点。然而，绝大多数人都有好的品质，而不是坏的。）”说明该段主要讲述每个人都有缺点，然而大多数人的优点多于缺点，人们应该多关注别人积极的方面。C项“Try to focus on a person’s positive qualities over their negative ones.（试着关注一个人的积极品质而不是消极品质。）”承接上文，其中的“focus on a person’s positive qualities”和段首“Focus on positives”相呼应，说明我们应该多关注一个人的积极品质。故选C项。 【19题详解】 上文“Communicating More Effectively（更有效地沟通）”说明该部分给出的避免批评的方法是进行有效沟通。下文“Some people have issues that may need addressing. However, feedback is very different from criticism. When addressing an issue, focus on suggestions you can make to help another person improve, which is more effective than criticizing.（有些人可能有需要解决的问题。然而，反馈与批评是截然不同的。在解决一个问题的时候，把重点放在你可以提出的帮助他人提高的建议上，这比批评更有效。）”说明该段主要讲述帮助别人解决问题时，反馈并且给出建议比批评更有效。A项“Give feedback rather than criticism.（给予反馈而不是批评。）”置于句首，概括该段主旨，符合语境。故选A项。 【20题详解】 段首句“Ask for what you want directly.（直接说出你想要的东西。）”说明该段主要讲述在有效沟通中需要直接表达自己的需求。上文“Inefficient communication often results in heavy criticism.（低效的沟通往往会招致严厉的批评。）”说明无效的沟通会导致批评。下文“Make sure to ask for what you want in a direct, respectful manner. This will eliminate (消除) the need for criticism.（一定要以一种直接、有礼貌的方式提出你的要求。这将消除批评的必要。）”说明直接提出需求是有效的沟通方式，会消除沟通过程中的批评。E项“If you’re not telling someone what you want, that person cannot be expected to know.（如果你不告诉别人你想要什么，就不能指望那个人知道。）”承上启下，说明在有效沟通中要直接说出自己的需求，否则别人将不会知道，这将导致无效沟通和批评。故选E项。 第二部分 英语知识运用（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） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C, D）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。 No one expected Jamie MoCrazy to live after her fall.

(如果不小心使用，它们可能会引发火灾或其他事故)”可知，本空意为“不安全的”，用形容词unsafe，作表语。故填unsafe。 【42题详解】 考查副词。句意：如果不小心使用，它们可能会引发火灾或其他事故。本空用副词carefully“小心地”，修饰动词used，作状语。故填carefully。 【43题详解】 考查动名词。句意：因此，在点燃孔明灯之前，采取安全预防措施并选择安全的地点是一件必须做的事。位于介词before后面，用light“点燃”的动名词形式，作宾语。故填lighting。 【44题详解】 考查冠词。句意：因此，在点燃孔明灯之前，采取安全预防措施并选择安全的地点是一件必须做的事。must是名词，意为“必须做的事”，是可数名词，此处泛指“一件必须做的事”，所以使用不定冠词，must是以辅音音素开头的单词，前边应用不定冠词a。故填a。 【45题详解】 考查谓语动词。句意：孔明灯，每一个都代表美好的祝愿和祝福，给人们带来极大的欢乐和美丽，是中国传统文化的一个特殊部分。represent“代表”，根据句中are可知，本句描述一般事实，句子时态使用一般现在时，“each of which 10 (represent) good wishes and blessings”是非限制性定语从句，先行词sky lanterns，指物，each of which表示单数意义，从句谓语动词使用第三人称单数形式。故填represents。 第三部分 写作（共两节 满分40） 第一节 应用文写作（满分15分） 46. 假定你是李华，你的新西兰朋友Jerry来信表示对中国文化很感兴趣，恰逢你校新开设了英文线上课程——“中国戏曲鉴赏（Appreciation of Chinese Opera)”，请你回信向他推荐此课程。内容包括： 1.课程内容； 2.推荐理由。 注意：1.写作词数应为80个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Dear Jerry, ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Best wishes!

Sometimes, I feel I’m the only one who notices their beauty. Yet, if it hadn’t been for the crowded dining hall, I wouldn’t have noticed Emily. Emily was a new student, quiet and unnoticeable. She walked to class with her books against her chest and her head down. She talked only when the teacher asked her a question. At the break time, she just sat on a bench and read. After a month at school, she hadn’t made any friend. If you asked who she was, you’d get a response like this, “She’s in my PE class, but I can’t remember her name.” During lunch one day, with most tables occupied, I found myself without a place to sit. I was at a loss what to do when I spotted Emily alone, book in hand. I walked over to her and asked. “Can I take this seat?” She glanced up and lightly said “Yes”. The cafeteria was buzzing with excitement for the upcoming talent show. Merry laughter and lively conversations filled the air, making the place alive with anticipation for the event. But Emily, lost in her book, didn’t seem to mind at all. Silence hung between us and it drove me crazy. I searched my mind for things to say. “So,” I said, “is that a good book?” Emily gave me a small nod and went back to reading. Curiosity getting the better of me, I continued, “What’s the book about?” She looked at me,eyes shining. Eagerly she shared the story of a musical talent, painting vivid images with her words. “That sounds cool,”I replied, somewhat amazed by the usual quiet girl. The noisy cafeteria carried on with its hum as students heatedly discussed the talent show. Eager to continue our engaging conversation, I asked, “So, any plans for the show?” Emily paused, setting her book aside, “Oh,” she said, “I don’t know. Maybe nothing.” Her words carried a bit of uncertainty.

As I took my seat in the hall, I couldn’t help but wonder if Emily had decided to show her talent. Anticipation filled the air as various acts took the stage, each one leaving the audience in amazement. As the performances continued, my eyes eagerly scanned the crowd for a glimpse of Emily. Just when I thought she might not participate, the spotlight shifted, and Emily stepped onto stage, holding a violin in her hand. Excitement washing over me, I couldn’t wait to see her show. The hall fell into silence as she began to perform. The notes formed a soft, sweet tune and then it turned faster. The music stopped altogether before the tune returned. Emily ended the song with one hard, fast, loud note. The hall fell completely silent until we realized the music was finished. Still in a half trance, the audience burst into loud applause. I smiled to myself. Emily wasn’t just a “quiet girl”. She knew wonderful books and could play the violin skillfully. Like a butterfly, she was beautiful and amazing when you looked closely. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者因为一次偶然的机会而注意到并结识了平时默默无闻的新同学艾米丽。艾米丽是一个内向、不引人注意的女孩，但在一次午餐时间，由于找不到座位，作者不得不与她同桌。两人之间的沉默让作者感到不安，于是他开始尝试与艾米丽交谈。艾米丽分享了她正在读的关于音乐天才的书籍，这让作者对这个平时安静的女孩感到惊讶。作者还询问了艾米丽是否有参加即将到来的才艺展示的计划，但她似乎对展示自己的才华有些不确定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“时间飞逝，才艺展示的日子终于到了。”可知，第一段可描写才艺展示日的来临和作者在才艺展示现场的心情及观察到的事情。 ②由第二段首句内容“她开始表演时，大厅里鸦雀无声。”可知，第二段可描写艾米丽在才艺展示中的小提琴表演和观众的反应。 2.续写线索：作者就座——想知道艾米丽是否会参加——艾米丽上台——观众鼓掌——作者微笑——作者评价艾米丽 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①就座：take one’s seat/be seated ②上台：step onto stage/tread the stage ③鼓掌：burst into loud applause/explode into applause 情绪类 ①惊讶：amazement/astonishment ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】[高分句型1] As I took my seat in the hall, I couldn’t help but wonder if Emily had decided to show her talent.
