B At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together. They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy.” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted to cry. He asked me, “Did you ever say good- bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me. Recognizing that his days were limited, I took the time to tell him face to face how much he meant to me. So I knew what this man was experiencing. “Forgive me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked. “I am old and she lives much too far away. I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “What do you mean by ‘I wish you enough.’ I asked. He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. “When we said ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued, “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your desire. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess. I wish you enough’ Hello’s to get you through the final’ Good-bye’.” He then began to sob and walked away. 4. How does the father’s emotional shift reflect human relationships? A.

C The People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force successfully launched an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM 洲际弹道导弹) into the Pacific Ocean at 08:44 on September 25, 2024. The missile carried a dummy warhead (模拟弹头) and landed in a specific area, as part of routine military training. The spokesperson for the defense ministry emphasized that the nuclear policy of China is stable, consistent, and predictable, and that the country maintains its nuclear capabilities at the minimum level necessary for national security. The launch was not aimed at any specific country or target and corresponded with international law and practice. Prior to the launch, China had notified several countries through military diplomatic channels (外教途径), demonstrating openness and transparency (透明). This test launch is a routine arrangement in the annual training plan and is completely lawful. The missile launch has raised eyebrows internationally, as it is considered rare for China to test ICBMs in international waters. The last known similar test was conducted in May 1980. Typically, China carries out ballistic missile tests within its own airspace or over the Bohai Sea. The test comes at a time when China is increasing its military presence in the region, which has been a cause for concern among neighboring countries and the international community. Despite this, China has maintained that its military activities are defensive in nature and not aimed at any specific nation. The launch also coincides with the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, where U. S. President Joe Biden discussed strengthening relationships with Japan and South Korea as part of a strategy to counter China’s influence in the region. While some analysts have compared the launch to the Soviet Union’s Sputnik (人造卫星) moment, indicating a potential shift in the balance of power, China has downplayed the significance of the test, stating it is part of its nuclear modernization efforts and not intended to threaten any country and underlining its sticking to international norms and laws. 8. What was the purpose of China’s missile launch on September 25? A. To threaten a specific country. B. To test its nuclear capabilities. C. To celebrate a national holiday. D. To conduct a routine military training. 9. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the missile launch? A. The missile was aimed at a specific target. B. The missile launch was a violation of international law. C. China notified several countries before the launch. D. The missile launch was a response to military threats. 10. What was the reaction of the international community to the missile launch? A. There was widespread disapproval. B. It was considered a rare and concerning event. C. All countries agreed it was a lawful action. D. The launch was ignored by the media. 11. What does the underlined word “downplayed” mean in the last paragraph? A. Explained. B. Highlighted. C. Understated. D. Emphasized. D We have all heard of individuals who can’t carry a tune. They are the people whose attempts at singing are usually met with laughter, criticism, as well as insensitive comments like, “Don’t quit your day job!” These individuals are labeled as “tone deaf”. But is tone deafness a real condition? And if so, why are some people tone deaf? In short, yes, tone deafness is a genuine neurological (神经系统的) disorder that is medically known as amusia (失音症). However, not everyone who lacks musical skills has this condition, which affects an estimated four percent of the population. For the majority of sufferers, a poor musical environment does not seem to be the issue. “It is hereditary (遗传的),” said Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology at the University of Montreal. Most amusics are born that way. Research shows that children with amusia usually have the same abnormal profile as amusic adults. Some people can develop amusia later in life, usually as a consequence of having a stroke (中风) or serious brain injury. While some individuals with amusia are fully aware they have it, others can live for years without knowing about their condition. This is because amusia can range in severity, from mild difficulty in recognizing melodies to a complete inability to distinguish between different musical notes. The most common form of amusia is pitch- based (基于音高的).“Despite this challenge, these people are able to process and recognize common environmental sounds, human voices, or the rhythm and musical quality of speech. The disorder appears to be specific to the music al domain.” Some studies suggest that people with pitch- based amusia do have difficulty processing melodic information in speech. “However, usually intonation is not the only sign we rely on to understand spoken communication, so in daily life this is likely to be much less noticeable,” Wise added. Studies show that it might be possible to help those with amusia. “Amusic brains receive and respond to pitch information, but it’s not reaching conscious awareness. The neurons fire in response to pitch differences that the person can’t distinguish,” Wise explained, “Maybe if we could develop training methods using that unconscious response, we could find a way to overcome it.” 12. What is one of the features of tone deafness? A. It mainly runs in the family. B. It is merely a lack of musical talent. C. It is usually due to a brain injury or stroke. D. It results from a poor musical environment. 13. What can we learn about people with pitch- based amusia? A. They can’t distinguish pitch differences. B. They can be identified easily in daily life. C. They usually have difficulty in understanding everyday sounds. D. They may struggle with processing melodic elements in speech. 14. Why does the author write the last but one paragraph? A. To explain conscious awareness. B. To offer hope to people with amusia. C. To provide ways to train amusic brains. D. To show the mechanisms of amusic brains. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Why Some Can’t Carry a Tune B. The Science of Tone Deafness C. Exploring Musical Inability D. Amusia: Understanding Tone Deafness 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。 Time is a precious resource.

I was a quiet, shy kid who just didn’t say much. I neither got in trouble nor got noticed. Somehow, plane geometry really became popular with me in his class. Toward the end of the year, Mr Dalton wanted to check our knowledge of geometry and gave us a 25- question true-false nationally standardized test. The test presented each problem with a conclusion shown. If we could prove the result using our theorems (定理), the answer was true. If it couldn’t be proved, it was false. I quickly finished 24 problems. However, number 17 seemed to be a great challenge. I knew deep down that I had the ability to prove its truth, but the exact approach was not immediately obvious. Finally, I spent 30 minutes working on that proof until it was completed. Satisfied, I marked the question true and handed in the completed test. The following day, when the results came back, my score was an impressive 96, signaling a solid grasp of the subject. However, to my surprise and disappointment, number 17 was marked as incorrect. It was a blow to my confidence, but I couldn’t ignore the efforts I had put into that problem. When Mr Dalton asked if there were any questions, for the first time, gathering all my courage, I raised my hand and spoke up, “The correct answer to number 17 is true!” Instead of arguing that this was a nationally standardized test and what I could possibly know about the answer, Mr Dalton did the most powerful thing I have ever seen a teacher do. Saying nothing and smiling encouragingly, he held out his chalk to me in the front of the class. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I walked to the blackboard for the first time and showed my proof to the class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since that day in his geometry class, I have changed a lot. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 1-5 CCABC 6-10 CBAAC 11-15 ACBBC 16-20 ABBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年度高三年级第一学期联考试卷 英语试题 全卷共12页，满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，请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纸上。 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.

They had announced her plane’s departure and standing near the door, he said to his daughter, “I love you, I wish you enough.” She said, “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough. Your love is all I ever needed. I wish you enough, too, Daddy.” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked over toward the window where I was seated. Standing there I could see he wanted to cry. He asked me, “Did you ever say good- bye to someone knowing it would be forever?” “Yes, I have,” I replied. Saying that brought back memories I had of expressing my love and appreciation for all my Dad had done for me.

I have challenges ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said. “What do you mean by ‘I wish you enough.’ I asked. He began to smile. “That’s a wish that has been handed down from generations. My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused for a moment and looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he smiled even more. “When we said ‘I wish you enough,’ we were wanting the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued, “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude bright. I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more. I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive. I wish you enough pain so that the smallest joys in life appear much bigger. I wish you enough gain to satisfy your desire. I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you possess.

The missile carried a dummy warhead (模拟弹头) and landed in a specific area, as part of routine military training. The spokesperson for the defense ministry emphasized that the nuclear policy of China is stable, consistent, and predictable, and that the country maintains its nuclear capabilities at the minimum level necessary for national security. The launch was not aimed at any specific country or target and corresponded with international law and practice. Prior to the launch, China had notified several countries through military diplomatic channels (外教途径), demonstrating openness and transparency (透明). This test launch is a routine arrangement in the annual training plan and is completely lawful. The missile launch has raised eyebrows internationally, as it is considered rare for China to test ICBMs in international waters. The last known similar test was conducted in May 1980. Typically, China carries out ballistic missile tests within its own airspace or over the Bohai Sea. The test comes at a time when China is increasing its military presence in the region, which has been a cause for concern among neighboring countries and the international community. Despite this, China has maintained that its military activities are defensive in nature and not aimed at any specific nation. The launch also coincides with the United Nations General Assembly meeting in New York, where U. S. President Joe Biden discussed strengthening relationships with Japan and South Korea as part of a strategy to counter China’s influence in the region. While some analysts have compared the launch to the Soviet Union’s Sputnik (人造卫星) moment, indicating a potential shift in the balance of power, China has downplayed the significance of the test, stating it is part of its nuclear modernization efforts and not intended to threaten any country and underlining its sticking to international norms and laws. 8. What was the purpose of China’s missile launch on September 25? A. To threaten a specific country. B. To test its nuclear capabilities. C. To celebrate a national holiday. D. To conduct a routine military training. 9. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the missile launch? A. The missile was aimed at a specific target. B. The missile launch was a violation of international law. C. China notified several countries before the launch. D. The missile launch was a response to military threats. 10. What was the reaction of the international community to the missile launch? A. There was widespread disapproval. B. It was considered a rare and concerning event. C. All countries agreed it was a lawful action. D. The launch was ignored by the media. 11. What does the underlined word “downplayed” mean in the last paragraph? A. Explained. B. Highlighted. C. Understated. D. Emphasized. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。文章报道了中国人民解放军火箭军在太平洋海域上空发射了一枚洲际弹道导弹。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“This test launch is a routine arrangement in the annual training plan and is completely lawful.(本次试航是年度培训计划中的例行安排，完全合法。)”可知，中国9月25日发射导弹的目的是例行军事训练。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Prior to the launch, China had notified several countries through military diplomatic channels (外教途径), demonstrating openness and transparency (透明).(在启动之前，中国已通过军事外交途径通知多个国家，展示了公开和透明)”可知，在火箭发射前，中国前通知了几个国家。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“The missile launch has raised eyebrows internationally, as it is considered rare for China to test ICBMs in international waters.(这次导弹发射引起了国际社会的关注，因为中国在国际水域测试洲际弹道导弹被认为是罕见的。)”和第四段的“The test comes at a time when China is increasing its military presence in the region, which has been a cause for concern among neighboring countries and the international community.(此次试验正值中国增加在该地区的军事存在之际，这引起了邻国和国际社会的关注。)”可知，这被认为是一件罕见并引人关注的事件。故选B。 【11题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“While some analysts have compared the launch to the Soviet Union’s Sputnik (人造卫星) moment, indicating a potential shift in the balance of power(一些分析人士将这次发射与苏联的斯普特尼克人造卫星时刻进行比较，表明力量平衡可能发生变化)”和下文“stating it is part of its nuclear modernization efforts and not intended to threaten any country and underlining its sticking to international norms and laws(说这是其核现代化努力的一部分，无意威胁任何国家，并强调其遵守国际准则和法律)”可推断，中国淡化这次试验的重要性，画线词与C项“轻描淡写”意思相近。故选C。 D We have all heard of individuals who can’t carry a tune. They are the people whose attempts at singing are usually met with laughter, criticism, as well as insensitive comments like, “Don’t quit your day job!” These individuals are labeled as “tone deaf”. But is tone deafness a real condition? And if so, why are some people tone deaf? In short, yes, tone deafness is a genuine neurological (神经系统的) disorder that is medically known as amusia (失音症). However, not everyone who lacks musical skills has this condition, which affects an estimated four percent of the population. For the majority of sufferers, a poor musical environment does not seem to be the issue. “It is hereditary (遗传的),” said Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology at the University of Montreal. Most amusics are born that way. Research shows that children with amusia usually have the same abnormal profile as amusic adults. Some people can develop amusia later in life, usually as a consequence of having a stroke (中风) or serious brain injury. While some individuals with amusia are fully aware they have it, others can live for years without knowing about their condition. This is because amusia can range in severity, from mild difficulty in recognizing melodies to a complete inability to distinguish between different musical notes. The most common form of amusia is pitch- based (基于音高的).“Despite this challenge, these people are able to process and recognize common environmental sounds, human voices, or the rhythm and musical quality of speech. The disorder appears to be specific to the music al domain.” Some studies suggest that people with pitch- based amusia do have difficulty processing melodic information in speech. “However, usually intonation is not the only sign we rely on to understand spoken communication, so in daily life this is likely to be much less noticeable,” Wise added. Studies show that it might be possible to help those with amusia. “Amusic brains receive and respond to pitch information, but it’s not reaching conscious awareness. The neurons fire in response to pitch differences that the person can’t distinguish,” Wise explained, “Maybe if we could develop training methods using that unconscious response, we could find a way to overcome it.” 12. What is one of the features of tone deafness? A. It mainly runs in the family. B. It is merely a lack of musical talent. C. It is usually due to a brain injury or stroke. D. It results from a poor musical environment. 13. What can we learn about people with pitch- based amusia? A. They can’t distinguish pitch differences. B. They can be identified easily in daily life. C. They usually have difficulty in understanding everyday sounds. D. They may struggle with processing melodic elements in speech. 14. Why does the author write the last but one paragraph? A. To explain conscious awareness. B. To offer hope to people with amusia. C. To provide ways to train amusic brains. D. To show the mechanisms of amusic brains. 15. What is the best title for this passage? A. Why Some Can’t Carry a Tune B. The Science of Tone Deafness C. Exploring Musical Inability D. Amusia: Understanding Tone Deafness 【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章指出了失音症的特点，原因以及常见的类型等。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For the majority of sufferers, a poor musical environment does not seem to be the issue. “It is hereditary (遗传的),” said Isabelle Peretz, a professor of psychology at the University of Montreal. Most amusics are born that way. (对于大多数患者来说，糟糕的音乐环境似乎不是问题。“这是遗传的，”蒙特利尔大学的心理学教授Isabelle Peretz说。大多数音乐生来就是这样)”可推知，失音症的特点是以家族遗传为主。故选A。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Some studies suggest that people with pitch- based amusia do have difficulty processing melodic information in speech. (一些研究表明，患有音高型失音症的人在处理语言中的旋律信息方面确实有困难)”可知，患有音高型失音症的人在处理言语中的旋律元素时可能会遇到困难。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Some studies suggest that people with pitch- based amusia do have difficulty processing melodic information in speech. “However, usually intonation is not the only sign we rely on to understand spoken communication, so in daily life this is likely to be much less noticeable,” Wise added.(一些研究表明，患有音高型失音症的人在处理语言中的旋律信息方面确实有困难。怀斯补充说：“然而，通常情况下，语调并不是我们理解口语交流所依赖的唯一信号，所以在日常生活中，这可能不那么明显。”)”可知，患有音高型失音症的人在处理语言中的旋律信息方面确实有困难，但是，通常情况下，语调并不是我们理解口语交流所依赖的唯一信号，所以在日常生活中，这可能不那么明显。由此推知，作者写倒数第二段是为了给失音症患者带来希望。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“In short, yes, tone deafness is a genuine neurological (神经系统) disorder that is medically known as amusia (失音症). However, not everyone who lacks musical skills has this condition, which affects an estimated four percent of the population.(简而言之，是的，声调失聪是一种真正的神经系统疾病，医学上称为失音症。然而，并不是所有缺乏音乐技能的人都有这种情况，估计有4%的人有这种情况)”以及全文可知，文章指出了失音症的特点，原因以及常见的类型等，让人们有了进一步的了解，D项：Amusia: Understanding Tone Deafness失音症：理解音聋)合乎题意。故选D。 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。 Time is a precious resource.

C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍了时间是一种宝贵的资源。我们有时会觉得时间不够用，但通过意识到如何花费时间、明确自己的价值观和优先级、做出调整并设定界限以及学会享受当下的时刻，我们可以更好地管理时间。 16题详解】 根据上文“Time is a precious resource. Sometimes it’s taken for granted, but often we feel there’s never enough of it. We sometimes rush through our days, constantly trying to get more done in less time. Other times we get lost in activities like scrolling on our phones. Often, we feel the scarcity (稀缺) of time and we feel a lack of control over it.(时间是一种宝贵的资源。有时我们认为理所当然，但通常我们会觉得时间永远不够用。我们有时会匆匆度过每一天，不断尝试在更短的时间内完成更多的事情。其他时候我们会沉迷于像刷手机这样的活动。我们经常感到时间的稀缺，并且对时间缺乏控制力。)” 可知，上文说的是时间是一种宝贵的资源，然而我们对时间缺乏控制力，可以推理出作者要提出一个关于有办法改善与时间的关系的观点，与G项“Actually, there are things we can do to have a healthier relationship with it.(实际上，我们可以做一些事情来与之建立更健康的关系。)”表达的含义一致，故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据下文“Often people find this to be an eye-opening experience. Once we know where our time is going, we can start to make changes.(人们常常发现这是一个令人大开眼界的经历。一旦我们知道时间去了哪里，我们就可以开始做出改变。)”可知下文说的是一旦我们知道时间去了哪里，我们就可以开始做出改变，可推理出上文说的是如何知道你的时间去了哪里，与E项“Track your time for a week or two to see where it’s going.(跟踪你一两周的时间去查看它去了哪里。)”为因果关系，故选E项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Get clear about your values and priorities.(明确你的价值观和优先级。)”以及下文“We choose to spend our time based on what is important to us, but many of us do this unconsciously. Sit down and make a list of the most important things you want to spend time on in your life. Then imagine you only have a month left to live. This will help you make choices in the future.(我们选择根据对我们来说重要的事情来花费时间，但我们中的许多人都是无意识地这样做的。坐下来列出生活中你想花时间做的最重要的事情。然后想象你只剩下一个月的生命。这将帮助你在未来做出选择。)”可知此处强调了在明确价值观和优先级的基础上，合理分配时间的重要性，与F项“We all have the time we need— we just need to prioritize it.(我们都有我们需要的时间——我们只需要优先考虑它。)”表达的意思一致，故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Once we know how we spend our time and what we want to spend time on, we can start to make adjustments and set boundaries.(一旦我们知道如何花费时间和想要花费时间做什么，我们就可以开始做出调整并设定界限。)”可知上文说的是开始做出调整并设定界限，可推理出此处在提出设定界限之后，需要说明如何设定界限，与D项“This means canceling things that are not important.(这意味着取消不重要的事情。)”表达的意思一致，故选D项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“One of the best ways to have a healthy relationship with time is to learn to enjoy the present moment. This means taking time to appreciate the little things in life, such as a beautiful sunset or a good conversation with friends. Every hour we are alive is a gift.(与时间保持健康关系的最佳方式之一是学会享受当下的时刻。这意味着花时间欣赏生活中的小事，比如美丽的日落或与朋友愉快的交谈。我们活着的每一小时都是一份礼物。)”可知上文提到的是享受当下，可以推理出此处表达的是享受当下的重要性，与C项“Learn to enjoy the present moment with gratitude.(学会感激地享受当下的时刻。)”表达的含义一致，故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Wanderlust (旅行癖) is in my DNA.

I was a quiet, shy kid who just didn’t say much. I neither got in trouble nor got noticed. Somehow, plane geometry really became popular with me in his class. Toward the end of the year, Mr Dalton wanted to check our knowledge of geometry and gave us a 25- question true-false nationally standardized test. The test presented each problem with a conclusion shown. If we could prove the result using our theorems (定理), the answer was true. If it couldn’t be proved, it was false. I quickly finished 24 problems. However, number 17 seemed to be a great challenge. I knew deep down that I had the ability to prove its truth, but the exact approach was not immediately obvious. Finally, I spent 30 minutes working on that proof until it was completed. Satisfied, I marked the question true and handed in the completed test. The following day, when the results came back, my score was an impressive 96, signaling a solid grasp of the subject. However, to my surprise and disappointment, number 17 was marked as incorrect. It was a blow to my confidence, but I couldn’t ignore the efforts I had put into that problem. When Mr Dalton asked if there were any questions, for the first time, gathering all my courage, I raised my hand and spoke up, “The correct answer to number 17 is true!” Instead of arguing that this was a nationally standardized test and what I could possibly know about the answer, Mr Dalton did the most powerful thing I have ever seen a teacher do. Saying nothing and smiling encouragingly, he held out his chalk to me in the front of the class. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 I walked to the blackboard for the first time and showed my proof to the class. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Since that day in his geometry class, I have changed a lot. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】I walked to the blackboard for the first time and showed my proof to the class. My heart was pounding as I explained my reasoning, but Mr. Dalton's reassuring smile gave me the confidence to continue. As I finished my explanation, the class erupted in applause, and I could see the pride on Mr. Dalton's face. He announced that I had indeed proven the correct answer to number 17 and awarded me an A+ for my effort. Since that day in his geometry class, I have changed a lot. I became more confident in expressing my opinions and sharing my ideas with others. I started participating more in class discussions and even joined the debate team. Mr. Dalton's encouragement not only helped me excel in plane geometry but also taught me the importance of believing in myself and standing up for what I know is right. His impact on my life has been immeasurable, and I will forever be grateful for the lessons he taught me both inside and outside the classroom. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达以几何课为线索，讲述了作者在平面几何课上，老师留了25个证明正确与错误的题，作者花了半个小时才将第17题完成。但老师却判了作者17题是错的，在课上，作者鼓起勇气证明自己的答案是正确的，于是老师让作者去黑板上证明，作者正确地完成了，得到了老师的赞赏。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我第一次走到黑板，向全班讲解我的证明。”可知，本段可以写我在黑板上讲解的时候很紧张，但老师坚定的笑容给了作者信心，作者完成自己的证明，全班鼓起了激烈的掌声，老师也重新给了作者A+的成绩。 ②由第二段首句内容“自从那天平面几何课之后，我改变了很多。”可知，本段可以写我变得更自信地表达自己的想法，也更加积极参加小组讨论。是老师的鼓励教会了作者相信自己的重要性，以及要大胆地表达自己的想法，很感激老师对自己的影响。 2.续写线索：走向黑板，讲解——感到紧张——老师的微笑给了鼓励——成功地讲解——同学鼓掌，老师重新给了A+的成绩——从那天后，改变了很多——更自信地表达自己的观点——感激老师对我的影响。 3.词类激活： 行为类： ①（心）跳动：pound/beat/race ②鼓掌：erupt in applause/give thunderous applause ③参加：participate in/take part in/be involved in 情绪类： ①自信的：confident/full of confidence ②感激：be grateful to/show gratitude to ③鼓励：encouragement/inspiration 【点睛】【高分句型1】 Mr. Dalton’s encouragement not only helped me excel in plane geometry but also taught me the importance of believing in myself and standing up for what I know is right.(运用了what引导宾语从句。) 【高分句型2】 He announced that I had indeed proven the correct answer to number 17 and awarded me an A+ for my effort.(运用了that引导宾语从句。) 1-5 CCABC 6-10 CBAAC 11-15 ACBBC 16-20 ABBAB 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
