B Flowers, ocean waves, animals, totem (图腾): Sitting in his northeast Beijing studio, Cai Honghao hammers on a piece of cow leather, bringing to life a new design. Cai, 41, is one of China’s few leather crafters. He began crafting leather six years ago when he was the creative director of an advertising company. Fed up with the stress of his job, Cai declined to renew his contract last year. He is now devoted to leather crafting. “It’s great fun as I try new designs and make it more challenging.” Each work undergoes many stages, from drawing pictures on paper to coloring the crafted leather. He does it all himself, but sometimes his wife helps. The back of the leather should be pasted on paper to prevent changing the shape, and then covered with tape to seal it during coloring. Cai also sprays water on the surface to make the leather easier to work. His 70-square-meter studio is filled with leather and tools. Pens are used to carve the outline of the pattern, while different machines create the shallow holes on the leather. The patterns become vivid under Cai’s hammers and shaping tools. For a bag or belt, he also sews pieces of leather together, and a work can take a week to several months, with the prices up to tens of thousands of yuan. “It is an extremely complicated and time-consuming process,” he says. His shoulders can ache after bending over his worktop day and night. “But I enjoy it, and my family are keen on my art. Otherwise, they would not let me do this fulltime.” Cai hopes to realize the beauty of ancient Chinese paintings that are full of Chinese flavor. “Now my dream is realized,” he says. His next project is an exhibition of his work. 24. Why did Cai Honghao leave his job last year? A. He was forced by his contract. B. He was fond of advertising. C. He was tired of the pressure. D. He was blamed by the director. 25. What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us? A. The effectiveness of Cai’s skills. B. The efficiency of Cai’s machines. C. The complexity of leather crafting. D. The diversity of rare leather works. 26. What can best describe his commitment to the shoulder-aching job? A. Do not put off until tomorrow what you love to do at this moment. B. Do what you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life. C. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. D. If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t, change your attitude. 27. What is his family members’ attitude? A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Unclear. C When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris, the city went for the wow factor, for the opening ceremony didn’t take place in a stadium but — bucking tradition — outside on the River Seine. Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that sprang up on its banks. From its source in Burgundy, the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea at Le Havre, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. The River’s layout within Paris has undergone changes over time, its course altered by constant floods, its branches and channels ultimately flowing into the snakelike riverbed we know today. It was near the Seine’s banks at Bercy that evidence of the city’s first human settlement was discovered. The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992. “Situated on a branch, or canal, of the Seine, the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,” says Sylvie Robin, a museum director. The city’s beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city’s beautification. The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding. As the mighty river fueled industry and empire, dams, locks, bridges, and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns. For millennia life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure. However, a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The quays even changed into parking lots. The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the quays, enjoying new facilities such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016. The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is the peak of years of investment. 28. What does the underlined word “bucking” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Integrating. B. Resisting. C. Highlighting. D. Embracing. 29. What can we learn about the River Seine according to the text? A. The earliest settlements were unearthed along the Seine. B. The River Seine flowing through Paris, shaped the city. C. Floods rarely affected the River Seine and its population. D. The Olympics made the Seine a popular tourist attraction. 30. Why were the stone quays built along the River Seine? ①To defend against attacks. ②To develop the transport. ③To control the floods ④ To channel the river. ⑤To beautify the surroundings. ⑥To support the Olympics. A. ①②④ B. ②③⑥ C. ③④⑤ D. ①⑤⑥ 31. What does the last paragraph highlight? A. People used to have fun living along the Seine. B. Urbanization has transformed life on the Seine. C. Human activities harmed the Seine’s ecosystem. D. The Paris government aims to energize the Seine. D Workers at a warehouse in New York, wear black motorized backpacks tied around their chests and thighs (大腿). The device, known as an exosuit, weighs 6.5 pounds and helps offload up to 40% of workers’ body weight as they lift bags of goods. While exoskeletons haven’t taken off as their promoters hoped, Verve Motion, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup behind the exosuit, figures its lightweight soft design is the answer to helping warehouse workers avoid back injuries. “People targeting the problem earlier... saw Iron Man, and wanted to make it real,” Cofounder and CEO Ignacio Galiana told Forbes. “We wanted to make it practical.” Back injuries are both common for warehouse workers and expensive for their employers, who must cover their insurance claims, which cost nearly $40,000 each, in addition to lost work days. Customers typically see the exosuit pay for themselves in the first half of the first year in use due to a 65% to 85% reduction in back injuries, Galiana said. Customers also typically see an improvement in productivity because workers aren’t exhausted at the end of their shifts. “It’s a safety tool that pays for itself,” he said. A dozen years ago, Galiana came to Harvard and teamed up with Conor Walsh to work on the idea of a soft exosuit. The pair wanted to look at how the human body works and design high-tech devices to help them perform specific, difficult tasks better. The detailed picking-and-packing warehouse workers do — and that Verve is focused on — is among the most difficult jobs to automate. Verve’s approach of offloading weight is different from the others. The exosuit uses sensors to estimate what a worker is doing and applies force in concert with a worker’s own muscles. By using the high-tech backpack, workers can offload 40% of the weight, making a day’s work the equivalent of lifting, say, 30,000 pounds instead of 50,000. “That extra tens of thousands of pounds is where the injuries come.” Verve plans to scale up operations in the U. S. with both new and existing customers. While its current product focuses on back injuries, it could eventually develop devices to guard against shoulder damage or knee troubles as well. 32. Why did Galiana mention Iron Man in the interview with Forbes? A. Iron Man inspires the designing of exosuits. B. Iron Man urges workers to make light pack. C. People long for exoskeletons like Iron Man. D. People love sci-fi movies such as Iron Man. 33. What can we learn about Verve’s exosuit from paragraph 3? A. Workers get exhausted from wearing it. B. It can decrease workers’ back injuries. C. It has low cost-effectiveness for users. D. Bosses cancel workers’ insurance for it. 34. How does Verve’s exosuit function? A. By cooperating with workers’ muscles to apply force. B. By reducing 60% of the weight of goods workers lift. C. By estimating a worker’s daily workload with sensors. D. By determining the source of the extra 20,000 pounds. 35. What does Verve Motion focus on? A. Market expansion strategies. B. Injury prevention equipment. C. Productivity boost programs. D. Picking-and-packing robots. 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。 Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can transform lives in profound ways.

However, during our first summer meeting last month, Coach Abby informed us that the Snack Bar would be closed for repairs until August. Upon hearing the news, all the team members were worried that without a Snack Bar, we wouldn’t have funds, which meant, our swim team might have to be dismissed. Supposing the worst, everyone was out of spirit. “Take it easy! I’ll figure it out. For now, boys, jump into the pool and get swimming!” said Coach Abby, gently comforting us. But none of us were swimming our best, and even though Coach Abby was smiling as usual, it was evident that she was concerned about the situation. During the break, I proposed exploring alternative approaches for holding a fundraising event. My teammates erupted into a lively conversation. D. J. suggested a karaoke sing-along, while Tamara offered to bring starfish cookies for sale. Manny brought up the idea of games and prizes, while I thought we could run a drink stand. After a heated discussion, it was decided that each of us would take turns to host the event throughout the week. Coach Abby heartily approved of our plan. My drink stand was scheduled for the last day of the event. I was so thrilled about the upcoming event that I began my preparations a day ahead. When I was making the drinks, I noticed a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! That’s not a rain cloud, is it?” I asked my mom, feeling a bit anxious. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything.” “You know what they say,” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” Then came the big day. Coach Abby helped me set up the drink stand and the teammates called out loudly to get everyone together at the pool ground. I hid a big box under the table and nobody knew what was inside. Everything was going smoothly as we wished. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Para 1: Unluckily, the clouds started to gather. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After a while Coach Abby made a cheerful announcement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年第一学期期中检测 高三英语 注意事项 1．本试卷满分为150分，考试时间为120分钟。 2．答题前，请务必将学校、姓名、准考证号填写在答题纸上。 3．请用0.5毫米黑色签字笔按题号在答题纸指定区域作答，在其它位置作答一律无效。 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，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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 How does the man want to solve the problem?

Cai, 41, is one of China’s few leather crafters. He began crafting leather six years ago when he was the creative director of an advertising company. Fed up with the stress of his job, Cai declined to renew his contract last year. He is now devoted to leather crafting. “It’s great fun as I try new designs and make it more challenging.” Each work undergoes many stages, from drawing pictures on paper to coloring the crafted leather. He does it all himself, but sometimes his wife helps. The back of the leather should be pasted on paper to prevent changing the shape, and then covered with tape to seal it during coloring. Cai also sprays water on the surface to make the leather easier to work. His 70-square-meter studio is filled with leather and tools. Pens are used to carve the outline of the pattern, while different machines create the shallow holes on the leather. The patterns become vivid under Cai’s hammers and shaping tools. For a bag or belt, he also sews pieces of leather together, and a work can take a week to several months, with the prices up to tens of thousands of yuan. “It is an extremely complicated and time-consuming process,” he says. His shoulders can ache after bending over his worktop day and night. “But I enjoy it, and my family are keen on my art. Otherwise, they would not let me do this fulltime.” Cai hopes to realize the beauty of ancient Chinese paintings that are full of Chinese flavor. “Now my dream is realized,” he says. His next project is an exhibition of his work. 24. Why did Cai Honghao leave his job last year? A. He was forced by his contract. B. He was fond of advertising. C. He was tired of the pressure. D.

(由于厌倦了工作的压力，蔡洪浩去年拒绝续签合同”可知，他辞去工作的原因是因为厌倦了压力。故选C项。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段首句“Each work undergoes many stages, from drawing pictures on paper to coloring the crafted leather.(每件作品都要经历多个阶段，从在纸上绘图到给制作好的皮革上色)”及全段内容可知，这段主要介绍了皮革工艺的复杂性。故选C项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“His shoulders can ache after bending over his worktop day and night. ‘But I enjoy it, and my family are keen on my art. Otherwise, they would not let me do this fulltime.’ (他日日夜夜俯身于工作台后，肩膀会酸痛。“但我很享受这个过程，而且我的家人也很喜欢我的艺术作品。否则，他们是不会让我全职做这个的。”)”可知，他因为热爱皮革制作，即便过程辛苦也甘之如饴。与B选项“做你热爱的事，这辈子你就感觉不到是在工作”表达一致。故选B项。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“‘But I enjoy it, and my family are keen on my art. Otherwise, they would not let me do this fulltime.’ (但我很享受这个过程，而且我的家人也很喜欢我的艺术作品。否则，他们是不会让我全职做这个的。) ”可知，他的家人支持他从事皮革工艺。故选A项。 C When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris, the city went for the wow factor, for the opening ceremony didn’t take place in a stadium but — bucking tradition — outside on the River Seine. Bathed in myth and memory, the Seine is the lifeblood of the city that sprang up on its banks. From its source in Burgundy, the Seine flows 483 miles to reach the sea at Le Havre, with the capital sitting nearly in the middle. The River’s layout within Paris has undergone changes over time, its course altered by constant floods, its branches and channels ultimately flowing into the snakelike riverbed we know today. It was near the Seine’s banks at Bercy that evidence of the city’s first human settlement was discovered. The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992. “Situated on a branch, or canal, of the Seine, the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,” says Sylvie Robin, a museum director. The city’s beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city’s beautification. The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding. As the mighty river fueled industry and empire, dams, locks, bridges, and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns. For millennia, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure. However, a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The quays even changed into parking lots. The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the quays, enjoying new facilities such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016. The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is the peak of years of investment. 28. What does the underlined word “bucking” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Integrating. B. Resisting. C. Highlighting. D. Embracing. 29. What can we learn about the River Seine according to the text? A. The earliest settlements were unearthed along the Seine. B. The River Seine, flowing through Paris, shaped the city. C. Floods rarely affected the River Seine and its population. D. The Olympics made the Seine a popular tourist attraction. 30. Why were the stone quays built along the River Seine? ①To defend against attacks. ②To develop the transport. ③To control the floods. ④ To channel the river. ⑤To beautify the surroundings. ⑥To support the Olympics. A. ①②④ B. ②③⑥ C. ③④⑤ D. ①⑤⑥ 31. What does the last paragraph highlight? A. People used to have fun living along the Seine. B. Urbanization has transformed life on the Seine. C. Human activities harmed the Seine’s ecosystem. D. The Paris government aims to energize the Seine. 【答案】28. B 29. B 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了巴黎塞纳河的一些历史以及重要作用。 【28题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“When the 2024 Summer Olympics kicked off in Paris, the city went for the wow factor, for the opening ceremony didn’t take place in a stadium but(当2024年夏季奥运会在巴黎开幕时，这座城市想要创造奇迹，因为开幕式没有在体育场举行，而是……)”以及后文“outside on the River Seine(在塞纳河上)”可知，巴黎想要创造奇迹，开幕式没有在体育场举行，而是打破传统，在塞纳河上举行。故划线词意思是“抵制”。故选B。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It was near the Seine’s banks at Bercy that evidence of the city’s first human settlement was discovered. The earliest fixed settlement was the Neolithic site at the Bercy archaeological dig from 1991 to 1992. “Situated on a branch, or canal, of the Seine, the village had been well preserved under layers of sediment left by floods,” says Sylvie Robin, a museum director.(在贝尔西的塞纳河岸边附近，人们发现了这座城市第一个人类定居点的证据。最早的固定定居点是1991年至1992年贝尔西考古挖掘的新石器时代遗址。“这个村庄位于塞纳河的一条支流或运河上，在洪水留下的沉积物层下保存得很好，”博物馆馆长西尔维·罗宾说)”可知，流经巴黎的塞纳河塑造了这座城市。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The city’s beloved stone quays were built over the centuries for the city’s beautification. The quays also served to channel the river and attempt to constrain flooding. As the mighty river fueled industry and empire, dams, locks, bridges, and later factories forever altered its flowing patterns.(这座城市备受喜爱的石码头是几个世纪以来为美化城市而建造的。这些码头也起到了引导河流的作用，并试图控制洪水。这条强大的河流为工业和帝国提供了动力，水坝、水闸、桥梁和后来的工厂永远地改变了它的流动模式)”可知，沿着塞纳河建造石头码头是为了控制洪水、疏通河道以及美化环境。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“For millennia, life was lived on the river. The Seine’s banks were a gathering place for work and leisure. However, a different approach to urban planning in the 20th century began to separate the public from the river. In the 1960s, highways were constructed directly on the water’s edge. The quays even changed into parking lots. The tide turned in 2013 when the city government decided to pedestrianize the motorway on the Left Bank. Cyclists and walkers returned to the quays, enjoying new facilities such as climbing walls and floating gardens. A riverside park on the Right Bank’s motorway followed in 2016. The much boasted $1.5 billion Olympic Games river cleanup project is the peak of years of investment.(几千年来，一直有人靠河而生。塞纳河两岸是工作和休闲的聚集地。然而，在20世纪，一种不同的城市规划方法开始将公众与河流分开。在20世纪60年代，高速公路直接建在水边。码头甚至变成了停车场。2013年，当市政府决定在左岸的高速公路上设置行人专用区时，情况发生了变化。骑自行车和步行的人回到码头，享受新的设施，如攀岩墙和浮动花园。2016年，右岸高速公路上的一个河畔公园紧随其后。这项耗资15亿美元的奥运河流清理工程是多年来投资的巅峰之作)”可知，最后一段强调了巴黎政府的目标是振兴塞纳河。故选D。 D Workers at a warehouse in New York, wear black motorized backpacks tied around their chests and thighs (大腿). The device, known as an exosuit, weighs 6.5 pounds and helps offload up to 40% of workers’ body weight as they lift bags of goods. While exoskeletons haven’t taken off as their promoters hoped, Verve Motion, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup behind the exosuit, figures its lightweight soft design is the answer to helping warehouse workers avoid back injuries. “People targeting the problem earlier... saw Iron Man, and wanted to make it real,” Cofounder and CEO Ignacio Galiana told Forbes. “We wanted to make it practical.” Back injuries are both common for warehouse workers and expensive for their employers, who must cover their insurance claims, which cost nearly $40,000 each, in addition to lost work days. Customers typically see the exosuit pay for themselves in the first half of the first year in use due to a 65% to 85% reduction in back injuries, Galiana said. Customers also typically see an improvement in productivity because workers aren’t exhausted at the end of their shifts. “It’s a safety tool that pays for itself,” he said. A dozen years ago, Galiana came to Harvard and teamed up with Conor Walsh to work on the idea of a soft exosuit. The pair wanted to look at how the human body works and design high-tech devices to help them perform specific, difficult tasks better. The detailed picking-and-packing warehouse workers do — and that Verve is focused on — is among the most difficult jobs to automate. Verve’s approach of offloading weight is different from the others. The exosuit uses sensors to estimate what a worker is doing and applies force in concert with a worker’s own muscles. By using the high-tech backpack, workers can offload 40% of the weight, making a day’s work the equivalent of lifting, say, 30,000 pounds instead of 50,000. “That extra tens of thousands of pounds is where the injuries come.” Verve plans to scale up operations in the U. S. with both new and existing customers. While its current product focuses on back injuries, it could eventually develop devices to guard against shoulder damage or knee troubles as well. 32. Why did Galiana mention Iron Man in the interview with Forbes? A. Iron Man inspires the designing of exosuits. B. Iron Man urges workers to make light pack. C. People long for exoskeletons like Iron Man. D. People love sci-fi movies such as Iron Man. 33. What can we learn about Verve’s exosuit from paragraph 3? A. Workers get exhausted from wearing it. B. It can decrease workers’ back injuries. C. It has low cost-effectiveness for users. D. Bosses cancel workers’ insurance for it. 34. How does Verve’s exosuit function? A. By cooperating with workers’ muscles to apply force. B. By reducing 60% of the weight of goods workers lift. C. By estimating a worker’s daily workload with sensors. D. By determining the source of the extra 20,000 pounds. 35. What does Verve Motion focus on? A. Market expansion strategies. B. Injury prevention equipment. C. Productivity boost programs. D. Picking-and-packing robots. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一种可以预防工人受伤的护甲，介绍了其工作原理以及特点。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“While exoskeletons haven’t taken off as their promoters hoped, Verve Motion, the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup behind the exosuit, figures its lightweight soft design is the answer to helping warehouse workers avoid back injuries. “People targeting the problem earlier... saw Iron Man, and wanted to make it real,” Cofounder and CEO Ignacio Galiana told Forbes. “We wanted to make it practical.”(虽然护甲并没有像其倡导者所希望的那样大受欢迎，但位于马萨诸塞州剑桥市的初创公司Verve Motion认为，这种护甲的轻量化软设计是帮助仓库工人避免背部受伤的答案。“人们更早地关注这个问题……看了《钢铁侠》，想把它变成现实，”联合创始人兼首席执行官伊格纳西奥·加利亚纳在接受《福布斯》采访时表示。“我们想让它变得实用。”)”可知，Galiana在福布斯的采访中提到钢铁侠是因为《钢铁侠》激发了人们设计盔甲的灵感。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Customers typically see the exosuit pay for themselves in the first half of the first year in use due to a 65% to 85% reduction in back injuries, Galiana said.(加里亚纳说，由于背部受伤的几率减少了65%至85%，顾客通常会在使用护甲的第一年上半年为自己买单)”可知，Verve’s exosuit可以减少工人的背部受伤。故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The exosuit uses sensors to estimate what a worker is doing and applies force in concert with a worker’s own muscles.(这种护甲使用传感器来估计工人正在做什么，并与工人自己的肌肉一起施加力)”可知，Verve的护甲通过与工人的肌肉合作来施加力量。故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“While its current product focuses on back injuries, it could eventually develop devices to guard against shoulder damage or knee troubles as well. (虽然该公司目前的产品主要针对背部损伤，但它最终可能会开发出防止肩部损伤或膝盖问题的设备)”可知，Verve Motion专注于预防损伤的设备。故选B。 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。 Positive thinking is a powerful tool that can transform lives in profound ways.

However, during our first summer meeting last month, Coach Abby informed us that the Snack Bar would be closed for repairs until August. Upon hearing the news, all the team members were worried that without a Snack Bar, we wouldn’t have funds, which meant, our swim team might have to be dismissed. Supposing the worst, everyone was out of spirit. “Take it easy! I’ll figure it out. For now, boys, jump into the pool and get swimming!” said Coach Abby, gently comforting us. But none of us were swimming our best, and even though Coach Abby was smiling as usual, it was evident that she was concerned about the situation. During the break, I proposed exploring alternative approaches for holding a fundraising event. My teammates erupted into a lively conversation. D. J. suggested a karaoke sing-along, while Tamara offered to bring starfish cookies for sale. Manny brought up the idea of games and prizes, while I thought we could run a drink stand. After a heated discussion, it was decided that each of us would take turns to host the event throughout the week. Coach Abby heartily approved of our plan. My drink stand was scheduled for the last day of the event. I was so thrilled about the upcoming event that I began my preparations a day ahead. When I was making the drinks, I noticed a very dark cloud outside the kitchen window. “Uh-oh! That’s not a rain cloud, is it?” I asked my mom, feeling a bit anxious. “Rain would be a disaster! It could ruin everything.” “You know what they say,” she answered. “Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.” Then came the big day. Coach Abby helped me set up the drink stand and the teammates called out loudly to get everyone together at the pool ground. I hid a big box under the table and nobody knew what was inside. Everything was going smoothly as we wished. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Para 1: Unluckily, the clouds started to gather. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Para 2: After a while, Coach Abby made a cheerful announcement. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Unluckily, clouds started to gather. Before we knew it, the rain was pouring down, making it difficult for everyone to seek shelter near the pool. Upon seeing this, my eyes lit up and I pulled out the box hidden under the table, taking out the stuff prepared earlier. With two booth umbrellas opened and attached to the table, a cosy, dry area came into view. My teammates gathered around me, enthusiastically assisting me to sell the hot chocolate I made with precision, which brought warmth to all those attending the fundraiser. Laughter filled the air once more. After a while, Coach Abby made a cheerful announcement. “Thanks, everyone! We made such an achievement with joint efforts for the fundraiser that we’ll be able to participate in the swim competition this summer!” The crowd erupted into thunderous applause and cheers. In that moment, I realized the importance of preparing for the worst and working together, especially when the unexpected happened. Today, with mother’s words echoing in my mind, I turned a rainy day into an unforgettable success. Soon, the clouds parted, and rays of sunlight broke through, casting a golden glow over the pool. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的游泳队会在泳池场地开小吃店，为游泳比赛和设备筹集资金。然而在上个月的第一次夏季会议上，艾比教练告诉小吃店将关闭维修，直到8月。为此作者准备了热巧克力，大家也一起帮忙售卖。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“不幸的是，乌云开始聚集”可知，第一段可描写下雨之后大家的反应以及作者开始售卖巧克力。 ②由第二段首句内容“过了一会儿，艾比教练高兴地宣布了一个消息”可知，第二段可描写消息的内容以及大家的反应和作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：开始下雨——避雨——卖巧克力——充满笑声——宣布消息——欢呼——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①寻找：seek /look for ②拿出：take out/pull out ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①热情地：enthusiastically/heartily ②难忘的：unforgettable/memorable 【点睛】[高分句型1] My teammates gathered around me, enthusiastically assisting me to sell the hot chocolate I made with precision, which brought warmth to all those attending the fundraiser.
