B 【语篇导读】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了四个学生对高中生活提出的建议。 21. 推理判断题。根据“Sharon, Aged 22”部分关键句“It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.”（最好是学会处理事情，明智地管理时间，这样你就能实现你需要的一切。）可知，Sharon认为高中生应该明智地管理时间，好好利用时间，由此可知，Sharon认为高中学生应该好好利用时间。故选D项。 22. 细节理解题。根据“Eddie, Aged 20”部分关键句“When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone.”（当我开始上高中时，我也很紧张，尤其是因为我整个中学都在家里上学，根本不认识任何人。）可知，Eddie刚开始上高中时，感到很紧张，因为他不认识任何人，由此可知，Eddie高中的第一天感到很担心。故选C项。 23. 细节理解题。根据“David, Aged 19”部分关键句“Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly.”（交一些朋友并和他们待在一起会大大帮助你很快适应高中。）可知，David认为交一些朋友并和他们待在一起有利于适应高中生活，由此可知，David提到了朋友的重要性。故选B项。 B 【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过描述作者和弟弟Rhys去吃冰淇淋的经历，以及在这个过程中作者的情感变化和反思，展示了作者与弟弟之间的亲情以及对于特殊需求家庭成员的理解和接纳。 24. 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“I love my younger brother, but it had been well over a year and a half since I had been in public with Rhys. The thought made me feel anxious. (我爱我的弟弟，但我已经有一年半多的时间没有和Rhys一起出现在公众场合了。这个想法让我感到焦虑)”可知，作者和Rhys已经有一年半多没有在公众场合一起出现过了，这个想法让她感到焦虑。由此可知，当被问及与Rhys一起外出时，作者感到的是担心。故选A。 25. 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Rhys loves to grab things. He grabbed a woman walking by. I apologized immediately, full of embarrassment. (Rhys喜欢抓东西。他抓了一个路过的女人。我立刻道了歉，感到十分尴尬)”可知，Rhys喜欢抓东西，他抓住了一个路过的女人，这让作者感到尴尬并立即道歉。由此可知，让作者在公众场合感到尴尬的是Rhys抓住一个路人的行为。故选C。 26. 词句猜测题。根据划线单词下文“I realized I wasn’t the only one in this situation: out in public with a family member with special needs. I smiled as I watched the father and daughter just enjoying their day and not focusing on what others thought. They acted just like every other “typical” family. It occurred to me that I shouldn’t let what others think about Rhys ruin our time together. (我意识到我不是唯一一个处于这种情况的人：和有特殊需要的家人一起出现在公众场合。我看着那位父亲和女儿，他们只是享受他们的日子，并不在乎别人怎么想。他们表现得就像每一个“典型”的家庭一样。我突然意识到，我不应该让别人对Rhys的看法破坏我们在一起的时光)”可知，作者看到一对父女在冰淇淋店附近行走时，她突然意识到自己和那位父亲一样，都是和有特殊需要的家人一起出现在公众场合。这个场景让她“flipped a switch”，也就是让她看待事物的方式发生了变化。故选B。 27. 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“I realized I wasn’t the only one in this situation: out in public with a family member with special needs. I smiled as I watched the father and daughter just enjoying their day and not focusing on what others thought. They acted just like every other “typical” family. It occurred to me that I shouldn’t let what others think about Rhys ruin our time together. (我意识到我不是唯一一个处于这种情况的人：和有特殊需要的家人一起出现在公众场合。我看着那位父亲和女儿，他们只是享受他们的日子，并不在乎别人怎么想。他们表现得就像每一个“典型”的家庭一样。我突然意识到，我不应该让别人对Rhys的看法破坏我们在一起的时光。)”可知，作者描述了当她看到一位父亲和女儿在广场上散步时，她意识到自己和那位父亲一样，都是和有特殊需要的家人一起出现在公众场合。她意识到她不应该让别人的想法影响她和Rhys在一起的时间。由此推知，在看到这对父女后，作者可能会更加关注与Rhys共度的时间，而忽略别人对她的评价。故选D。 C 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. A 31. C 【语篇导读】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知并倡导人们用正确的态度对待锻炼。 28. 词句猜测题。由第二段中的“For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. (首先，运动对于减肥来说通常是futile。以步行为例。一个体重150磅的人步行30分钟平均会燃烧140卡路里左右。这相当于一罐苏打水——这对你投入的时间和精力来说并不是一个很大的回报。相比之下，不喝苏打水更容易减肥。)”可知，每天步行30分钟减肥效果不理想，说明运动对于减肥来说通常是无用的，futile意为“无用的(Useless)”。故选D项。 29. 细节理解题。由第四段中的“To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. (为了实现这一目标，一个150磅的人每天至少需要步行90分钟或跑步30分钟)”和“And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”可知，当你每天跑步30分钟时，你的身体会渴望更多的食物，你可能比平时吃得多。故选D项。 30. 推理判断题。由第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼。也许运动减肥最大的问题是，它会把体育锻炼变成惩罚——这是我们为瘦身所付出的代价)”和“We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad.” In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. (我们将运动视为对“坏”的一种自我惩罚。在这种情况下，我们不太可能长期坚持锻炼)”可知，人们往往把运动当成一种减肥的自我惩罚，所以他们并不喜欢运动，当运动不能达到人们的减肥预期时，人们经常停止锻炼，可得出想通过运动减肥的人经常放弃是因为他们不太可能真正享受运动。故选A项。 31. 主旨大意题。由第一段“Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. (我们中的许多人开始锻炼，希望能减掉多余的体重。毫无疑问，努力变得更积极是一件好事。但如果主要原因是减肥，你的决心很可能会落空)”，第二段中的“For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. (首先，运动对于减肥来说通常是徒劳的)”，第三段中的“When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. (当节食和运动相结合时，效果同样不显著)”，第四段中的“And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. (即使我们努力了那么多，我们的身体也会通过渴望更多的食物和减缓新陈代谢来补偿，随着时间的推移，这些影响会限制我们减掉多少磅)”和第五段中的“When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. (当运动不能达到我们的减肥预期时，我们经常停止锻炼)”可知，文章介绍了运动减肥的错误认知，即运动并不能有效地帮助减肥，C项“减肥：为什么运动是错误的道路”符合文意。故选C项。 D 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. B 35. A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了我们应该和积极的朋友共度时光，以及这样做的好处。 32. 细节理解题。根据第二段“With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it because chances are that they will be there for you without asking. Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will go out of their way to help you when you’re feeling down. (有了积极的朋友，你不需要在需要的时候乞求帮助，因为他们很可能会不请自来地为你服务。积极的人希望别人快乐，当你情绪低落时，他们会尽力帮助你)”以及“Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost. (理想的友谊在你情绪低落时提供支持，在你情绪高涨时提供乐趣，在你迷失时提供智慧)”可知，理想的友谊会在你情绪低落时提供支持，那些在你需要的时候陪在你身边的人可能是你真正的朋友。故选B。 33. 细节理解题。根据第二段“As About. com’s Guide to Stress states, “Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost.” (About. com’s Guide to Stress指出，“理想的友谊在你情绪低落时提供支持，在你情绪高涨时提供乐趣，在你迷失时提供智慧。”)”可知，作者提到About. com’s Guide to Stress是为了向我们解释在现实中，理想的友谊是什么样子的。故选C。 34. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a downer, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you. The same is true for being positive. The more you are able to keep a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return. (你会自然而然地吸引到最喜欢你的朋友。所以，如果你情绪低落，你可能会发现消极的人会来找你。积极也是如此。你越能保持积极的态度，你就会吸引更多志同道合的人作为回报)”可知，如果你是消极的，你会吸引消极的人，作者通过说“积极也是如此”想要告诉我们的是，如果你是积极的，你会吸引积极的朋友。故选B。 35. 推理判断题。根据第四段“Your positive friends will not only help you recover from negative hits you take in life, but they will also inspire you to be the best you can be. (你积极的朋友不仅会帮助你从生活中遭受的负面打击中恢复过来，还会激励你尽可能做到最好)”可知，积极的朋友会帮助你从负面打击中恢复，并激励你做到最好，可推知，积极的朋友会让你受益匪浅。故选A。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分 12.5分) 【答案】36. B 37. E 38. G 39. A 40. C 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在新的国家交新朋友的几点建议。 36. 根据前句“Moving to a new country—or even spending a year abroad—is an exciting experience. (搬到一个新的国家，甚至在国外呆一年，都是令人兴奋的经历。)”和后句“Making friends in a new country is one of them. Here are some suggestions. (在一个新的国家交朋友是其中之一。)”可知，此处需要一个过渡句，既要承接上文，又要引出下文，即在新的国家具有挑战性。所以B选项“However, it has its challenges, too. (然而，它也有它的挑战。)”符合语境，故选B。 37. 根据前句“Most people don’t jump at the chance to show a stranger around town, but that changes as soon as you make a personal connection—even a tiny one. (大多数人不会欣然接受带陌生人在城里转转的机会，但一旦你建立了个人关系——即使是很小的关系——这种情况就会改变。)”和后句“Until you do, you’ll never know if your former classmate’s brother’s best friend lives around the corner. (在你这样做之前，你永远不会知道你以前同学的兄弟最好的朋友是否住在附近。)”可知，通过个人关系网络，问问国内的朋友他们是否认识你所在地区的人。所以E选项“Ask friends back home if they know anyone in your area. (问问你家乡的朋友是否认识你所在地区的人。)”符合语境，故选E。 38. 根据前句“You don’t have to master the local language to find partners. (你不必掌握当地语言来寻找合作伙伴。)”和后句“What you need to do is make an effort to start conversations or sign up for exercise classes. (你需要做的是努力开始交谈或报名参加锻炼课程。)”可知，在各种俱乐部可以遇见兴趣相投的人。所以G选项“Exercising in a gym is another way to meet people with similar interests. (在健身房锻炼是另一种结识有相似兴趣的人的方式。)”符合语境，故选G。 39. 空白处位于段首，是一个总起句。根据后文“Feeling lonely isn’t just about not having weekend plans; it can make us feel like we don’t matter to the people around us, Join an organization that helps homeless people or helps out animal shelters. You’ll feel good about yourself and find an immediate sense of connection. (感到孤独并不仅仅是因为没有周末计划；加入一个帮助无家可归者或帮助动物收容所的组织。你会自我感觉良好，并找到一种直接的联系感。)”可知，本段主要介绍关于做志愿者的好处。所以A选项“Volunteer for a good cause. (为一个好的事业做志愿者。)”符合语境，故选A。 40. 根据前句“Talking about where you come from and what the weather is like is the first step to get to know someone.

Best wishes, Li Hua 第二节 (满分25分) 67.【答案】 I figured the only way to finish 42 km was to start by running just one kilometer. Driven by the strong desire to prove myself, I determined to make running a daily routine. But even one kilometer proved too hard.  I ran a few minutes at a time, and then walked to catch my breath.  Instead of backing down, I repeated that for months before I found that I could easily finish one kilometer.  Gradually, that one became two, and then three … Step by step, I became a runner. Then, one cold November morning, I showed up at the starting line with more than 45,000 other people and ran the marathon. Despite the nervousness at heart, I found myself rushing out at the sound of the starting gun. Did I win? Of course not. Was my time something that “real” runners would consider ridiculously slow? You bet. Did I run the same 42 km as everyone else, cross the finish line with joy, and receive my medal with pride? Absolutely. Life didn’t go any easier after the marathon, but because of the marathon, I had a model for how to approach the difficulties – step by step. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者坚持每天跑步训练，最终成功地跑完马拉松全程并获得奖牌的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我想完成42公里的唯一方法就是从一公里开始。”可知，第一段可描写作者每天坚持跑一公里路的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“然后，在11月一个寒冷的早晨，我和其他4.5万多人一起出现在起跑线上，开始跑马拉松。”可知，第二段可描写作者成功地跑完了马拉松全程并获得了奖牌。 2. 续写线索：从一公里开始跑——每天坚持跑——逐渐加长距离——参加马拉松比赛——最终成功跑完全程——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①完成：finish/complete/ accomplish ②认为：consider/think ③处理：approach/handle/deal with 情绪类 ①紧张：nervousness/tension/strain ②快乐：joy/delight/pleasure 【点睛】[高分句型1] Driven by the strong desire to prove myself, I determined to make running a daily routine.（运用了非谓语动词中的过去分词作状语） [高分句型2] Instead of backing down, I repeated that for months before I found that I could easily finish one kilometer.（运用了连词before引导的时间状语从句） 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$高一英语试题 第 1页共 8页 安徽师范大学附属中学 2024～2025学年第一学期期中考查 高一英语试题 考试时间：120分钟，满分：150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， 并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。 每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

Besides, I don’t know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It’s best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to. Frank, Aged 21 I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck! Eddie, Aged 20 When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn’t really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it. David, Aged 19 I’m not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you’ll get used to it. Don’t be afraid of 高一英语试题 第 3页共 8页 anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you’re afraid. Just take it easy.

Students should make good use of their time. 22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school? A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Relaxed. 23. Who mentions the importance of friends? A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie. B “Would you like to go see Rhys and take him for ice cream?” my dad asked; I froze. I love my younger brother, but it had been well over a year and a half since I had been in public with Rhys. The thought made me feel anxious. Rhys is 14 and severely diagnosed with a rare genetic mutation (突变) at birth. When I was young, I accompanied my mom or dad to pick him up from his new long-term care home at the end of our busy weekends to spend some time with him, normally at our home. After picking Rhys up and taking the short car trip, we arrived at the ice cream store. I held onto Rhys in his chair while Dad placed our order. Rhys loves to grab things. He grabbed a woman walking by. I apologized immediately, full of embarrassment. After getting our ice cream, we sat outside. At this point, I was distressed and just wanted to go home. Dad could tell that I was upset. He silently understood and let me be. But then I saw a father and daughter walking along the plaza toward the ice cream store. The girl’s movements seemed strangely familiar. I noticed she was behaving similarly to Rhys. Watching those two flipped a switch for me. I realized I wasn’t the only one in this situation: out in public with a family member with special needs. I smiled as I watched the father and daughter just enjoying their day and not focusing on what others thought. They acted just like every other “typical” family. It occurred to me that I shouldn’t let what others think about Rhys ruin our time together. There is so much uncertainty with Rhys’ rare genetic mutation. We aren’t certain what challenges he will face in the future. With each visit, I notice how much we have both changed, whether it’s his little mustache coming in or my growing independence as I move to university. Rhys will always be my brother. We are family. There is no shame in that. 24. How did the author feel when asked to go out with Rhys in public? A. Worried. B. Excited. C. Surprised. D. Heartbroken. 25. What behavior of Rhys embarrassed the author in public? A. Shouting loudly. B. Falling off his chair. C. Grabbing a passerby. D. Holding the author’s arm. 26. What does the underlined phrase “flipped a switch” in the second to last paragraph most probably mean? A. Inspired someone to find joy in life. B. Made someone see things differently. C. Helped someone make a quick choice. D. Provided someone with useful advice. 高一英语试题 第 4页共 8页 27. What might the author do after seeing the father and daughter at the plaza? A. Help Rhys to be more independent. B. Show Rhys how to act around others. C. Look for more quiet time alone with Rhys. D. Ignore others’ judgments when with Rhys. C Many of us start exercising in the hope of losing unwanted pounds. Unquestionably, aiming to be more active is a good thing. But if the main reason is to lose weight, your resolution could very well come to nothing. For starters, exercise is typically futile for weight loss. Take walking for example. A 150-pound person who walks for 30 minutes will burn, on average, around 140 calories. That’s equal to one can of soda — not exactly a great return on your investment of time and effort. It’s much easier just to skip the soda. When exercise is added to a diet, the results are equally unimpressive. Researchers found that a combination of dieting and exercising brought no greater weight loss than dieting alone after six months. At 12 months, the diet-and-exercise combination showed an advantage, but it was slight — about 4 pounds. In studies where exercise has produced meaningful weight loss, participants burned at least 400 to 500 calories per session on five or more days a week. To achieve that, a 150-pound person would need to walk a minimum of 90 minutes or run 30 minutes per day. In short, sessions need to go well beyond what most of us are willing or able to do. And even if we manage to make that much effort, our bodies often compensate (抵消) by eagerness for more food and slowing down metabolism (新陈代谢), effects that over time limit how many pounds we lose. When exercise fails to meet our weight-loss expectations, we often stop working out. Perhaps the biggest problem with exercising to drop pounds is that it turns physical activity into punishment — a price we have to pay for a slimmer body. How many times have you heard someone say “I’ll need to do extra exercise” after eating too much? We treat exercise as a form of self-punishment for being “bad.” In this case, we’re unlikely to keep doing it for very long. The conclusion is that we’re more likely to treat exercise positively and actually do it when we focus on our well-being rather than our weight. 28. What does the underlined word “futile” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Necessary. B. Popular. C. Dangerous. D. Useless. 29. What happens when you run 30 minutes on a daily basis? A. You will burn 140 calories every day. B. You will lose 4 pounds in a month. C. You might have a higher metabolic rate. D. You might eat more than usual. 30. Why do people who want to lose weight through exercise often give up? A. They are unlikely to really enjoy it. B. They find it too challenging physically. C. They have difficulty resisting (抵抗) delicious food. D. They turn their attention to their well-being. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. How long should you exercise a day to lose weight? B. What are the best exercises for losing weight? C. Weight loss: why exercise is the wrong path? D. Exercise and weight loss: a pair of brothers 高一英语试题 第 5页共 8页 D One of the biggest complaints I hear from people is that their friends just aren’t there for them. More than that, sometimes friends are downright rude or even mean. You can’t change people, but you can surround yourself with more positive people. Here are some benefits that spending time with positive friends can provide. With positive friends, you don’t need to beg for help when you need it because chances are that they will be there for you without asking. Positive individuals want others to be happy, and will go out of their way to help you when you’re feeling down. As About. com’s Guide to Stress states, “Ideal friendships provide support when you’re down, fun when you’re up, wisdom when you’re lost.” Compare that to toxic friends, who might snipe at (诽谤，中伤) you or even laugh at you behind your back. Negative people celebrate the downfall of others, and as a result you’ll end up feeling worse about yourself or the situation you’re dealing with. Friends who aren’t positive will add to whatever amount of stress you are feeling. Your positive friends will not only help you recover from negative hits you take in life, but they will also inspire you to be the best you can be. For example, perhaps you always wanted to be a writer. The negative people in your life will probably tell you all the reasons why you won’t succeed. But who needs that? Chances are you have already gone over the reasons why you might fail and this is what has prevented you from trying. But with positive people in your life, you’ll feel more comfortable sharing these types of goals because your friends will give you the emotional push you need to go after what you want in life. You naturally attract the kinds of friends who are most like you. So if you’re a downer, you’ll probably find that negative people come to you. The same is true for being positive. The more you are able to keep a positive attitude, the more like-minded people you’ll attract in return. 32. Who are probably your true friends according to the passage? A. Those who you can change gradually. B. Those who will stay with you when you’re in need. C. Those who will not turn to you whenever in trouble. D. Those who are always polite and never waste anything 33. Why does the writer mention the statement of About. Com’s Guide to Stress? A. To emphasize the importance of friendships. B. To point out everyone may meet with difficulties. C. To explain to us what ideal friendships are in reality. D. To compare the differences between success and failure. 34. What does the writer intend to tell us by saying “The same is true for being positive”? A. It is true that everyone is positive in life. B. If you are positive, you’ll attract positive friends. C. The negative people don’t like the positive ones. D. The positive people would like to stay with everyone. 35. Which of the following is conveyed in this passage? A. Positive friends can benefit you a lot. B. Friendship is love with understanding. C. Old friends and old wine are the best. D. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 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。 Moving to a new country – or even spending a year abroad – is an exciting experience. 36 Making friends in a new country is one of them. Here are some suggestions. Network through personal connections. Most people don’t jump at the chance to show a stranger 高一英语试题 第 6页共 8页 around town, but that changes as soon as you make a personal connection – even a tiny one. 37 Until you do, you’ll never know if your former classmate’s brother’s best friend lives around the corner. Join a hobby club or a sports team. Committing to (全身心投入) a weekly hobby meetup is a great way to force yourself to socialize. There are always hiking clubs looking for teammates. You don’t have to master the local language to find partners. 38 What you need to do is make an effort to start conversations or sign up for exercise classes. 39 Feeling lonely isn’t just about not having weekend plans; it can make us feel like we don’t matter to the people around us. Join an organization that helps homeless people or helps out animal shelters. You’ll feel good about yourself and find an immediate sense of connection. Talk to strangers. When you’re the stranger in town, it’s easy to feel awkward and out of place. The more you push past that, the more you’ll find that almost everyone enjoys meeting new people. Talking about where you come from and what the weather is like is the first step to get to know someone. 40 A. Volunteer for a good cause. B. However, it has its challenges, too. C. So practice your small talk and use it often. D. These are great places to meet outgoing strangers. E. Ask friends back home if they know anyone in your area. F. Every trip out of the house is a chance to meet the right person. G. Exercising in a gym is another way to meet people with similar interests. 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四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Have you heard of Zhu Yanjun, a middle-aged builder from a small village in Gansu Province?

The children were required to finish their homework and do some reading before they played. “Getting a good education is very important for my kids, because knowledge can bring 54 a better life,” said Zhu. Zhu is already 50 years old, but he keeps on learning all the time. His story tells us that learning is a lifelong journey. Whether we are old or 55 , we should always learn to improve ourselves.

In high school, for example, I joined the soccer team for a year – and even when my team was losing 9-0, the coach still kept me on the bench (坐在替补席). However, I once won a medal, which I’ve kept on my desk till today, in the New York City Marathon (马拉松) – a long running race of about 42 kilometers. It’s not a gold medal that I can show off to others proudly. I kept it there because it reminds me that every big goal can always be broken down into individual steps. And when you gather enough steps, you’ll make it to the finish line. Step by step, you can make what seems impossible possible. It was in 2010 that I entered for the New York City Marathon. I’d never run a marathon before. I’d never even run 5 km. So why did I do this? Because I needed a big goal. Caught up in a difficult stage of life, I wanted something to work for, to prove that I could achieve something. So I entered for the preliminary (预赛 ) – the running race by which a small number of people are chosen to enter the marathon. Most people worked for years to qualify (有资格). Me? Somehow, my name was drawn. I was in, yet I was nervous, wondering how to make it to the finish line. 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。 I figured the only way to finish 42 km was to start by running just one kilometer. _______________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ Then, one cold November morning, I showed up at the starting line with more than 45, 000 other people and ran the marathon. _____________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________ _____________________________________________________________________________________
