She would feed him breakfast, and Goldstein would get to check out her husband’s stamp collection. Eventually, they would get around to playing the piano. But when Goldstein was 12, his teacher told his parents that he needed better instruction. So his mother took him to a music school in the Bronx, and enrolled (注册) him in classes with a teacher named Alice Shapiro. This new teacher was known for being strict, and she quickly lived up to that name. One time, Shapiro asked Goldstein to memorize one of Beethoven’s master pieces for the next week. Goldstein replied immediately, saying he didn’t know if he could do that. Hearing Goldstein’s reply, Shapiro said seriously, “Well, if you say you won’t do it ... then you won’t be able to do it. You need to do it. I want to hear it memorized next week.” This was nothing like his lighthearted Saturday mornings with his former teacher, and it wasn’t long before Goldstein decided that he didn’t want to take piano lessons anymore. He figured he would pick up another instrument (乐器), or maybe just teach himself the piano. At one of his last lessons of the semester, Shapiro turned to him and said something surprising: “You’re not ready to stop.” The hesitant student immediately felt a sign from the teacher that she cared about him. That moment changed their relationship. Within a few weeks, they were having fun and laughing during lessons. And within a few months, she was teaching him things about music he had never known before. It was the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship. “She became my mentor (导师) and closest friend. I went into music, went to Juilliard, became a musician, and became a piano teacher,” Goldstein said. “And that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 50 years. And I owe it all to that one precious moment with my unsung hero, Alice Shapiro.” 4. Where did Goldstein have piano lessons before 12 years old? A. In the kindergarten. B. In a friend’s home. C. In a music school. D. In Alice Shapiro’s class. 5. How did Goldstein react to the memorizing task? A. He jumped at the challenge. B. He felt quite confused about it. C. He argued with the teacher. D. He expressed his doubt about it. 6. Why did Goldstein once intend to give up piano lessons? A. He missed his former teacher. B. He found piano lessons difficult. C. He couldn’t bear Shapiro’s strictness. D. He wanted to learn another instrument. 7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. A teacher’s concern for students matters. B. It is a teacher’s duty to help students. C. A great teacher produces excellent students. D. Learning with fun makes things easy. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。文章主要介绍了钢琴家戈尔茨坦的钢琴学习之路，从开始不适应严师的教导而曾想放弃钢琴学习，到后来理解老师的关爱后坚定钢琴学习，他最终成为了一名钢琴家。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When Goldstein was a young child, he took piano lessons every Saturday morning with a family friend. She would feed him breakfast, and Goldstein would get to check out her husband’s stamp collection. Eventually, they would get around to playing the piano.(当戈尔茨坦还是个孩子的时候，他每个星期六早上都和一位家庭朋友一起上钢琴课。她会给他吃早餐，戈尔茨坦会去看看她丈夫的邮票收藏。最终，他们会抽出时间弹钢琴。)”可知，在12岁之前，Goldstein在一个朋友家上钢琴课。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“One time, Shapiro asked Goldstein to memorize one of Beethoven’s master pieces for the next week. Goldstein replied immediately, saying he didn’t know if he could do that. (有一次，夏皮罗要求戈尔茨坦在下周背诵贝多芬的一首杰作。戈尔茨坦立即回复说，他不知道自己能否做到这一点)”可知，Goldstein听完后立即表示，他对于自己能否完成这个任务并没有把握，即表示怀疑。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“This was nothing like his lighthearted Saturday mornings with his former teacher, and it wasn’t long before Goldstein decided that he didn’t want to take piano lessons anymore. He figured he would pick up another instrument (乐器), or maybe just teach himself the piano. (这与他和以前老师一起度过的轻松愉快的周六早晨完全不同。没过多久，戈尔茨坦就决定不再上钢琴课了。他想他会选择另一种乐器，或者自学钢琴)”可知，他曾想放弃钢琴学习是因为不能忍受新老师的严厉。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The hesitant student immediately felt a sign from the teacher that she cared about him. That moment changed their relationship.(那个犹豫的学生立刻感觉到老师关心他的信号。那一刻改变了他们的关系)”以及最后一段““She became my mentor (导师) and closest friend. I went into music, went to Juilliard, became a musician, and became a piano teacher,” Goldstein said. “And that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 50 years. And I owe it all to that one precious moment with my unsung hero, Alice Shapiro.”(“她成了我的导师和最亲密的朋友。我进入了音乐界，去了茱莉亚音乐学院，成为了一名音乐家，又成为了一名钢琴老师。”“这就是我过去50年来一直在做的事情。这一切都要归功于我和无名英雄爱丽丝·夏皮罗在一起的那一刻。”)”可知，正处于犹豫中的Goldstein 顿时感受到了老师的关心，那一刻他们的关系发生了转变，所以老师对学生的关心是很重要的。故选A项。 C There is more that comes with older age than graying hair and wrinkled skin. When humans reach their later years, they favour more established friends and their social circle is reduced. Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same behaviour in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (黑猩猩) show that older males choose to hang out with their long-term friends at the expense of other relationships. The researchers analyzed 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social interactions of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps’ relationships depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship; one-sided friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed interest in the other. When the scientists looked at the patterns of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another feature seen in older humans was also found in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of aggression (攻击性) tailed off, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to intimidate others in their group less often. The observations have left the researchers puzzled. According to an idea in psychology known as Socioemotional Selectivity Theory, older humans prefer more positive relationships because they are aware time is running out. But many animal experts argue that chimpanzees lack the human sense of death, suggesting something else is driving the behaviour. Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the decline in social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined with lack of opportunity. “In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, mutual relationships with trusted partners,” she said. 8. What do older male chimpanzees favour? A. Old friendships. B. New partners. C. Coloured hair. D. Aged skin. 9. How did the researchers draw their conclusion about chimpanzees? A. By turning to other scientists for help. B. By monitoring chimps for 20 years. C. By building relationships with chimps. D. By studying long-time observations. 10. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Protect. B. Motivate. C. Frighten. D. Accompany. 11. According to Robin Dunbar, what explains declining social circles in chimpanzees? A. Awareness of time limit. B. Less competition for mates. C. Low motivation for socialization. D. Lack of the human sense of death. 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了黑猩猩的社交模式。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (黑猩猩) show that older males choose to hang out with their long-term friends at the expense of other relationships.(20年来对黑猩猩的观察表明，年长的雄性黑猩猩选择与长期的朋友在一起，而牺牲了其他的关系)”可知，年长的雄性黑猩猩更重视旧的友谊。故选A项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The researchers analyzed 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social interactions of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old.(研究人员研究了1996年至2016年间对21只年龄在15岁至58岁之间的雄性黑猩猩进行的7.8万小时的社会交往观察)”可推知，研究人员是通过分析二十年来的观察得出关于黑猩猩的结论的。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第四段划线词前面的“As the males got older, their levels of aggression (攻击性) tailed off, meaning they started fewer fights(随着雄性黑猩猩年龄的增长，它们的攻击性水平逐渐下降，这意味着它们开始减少争斗)”可知，随着雄性黑猩猩年龄的增长，其攻击性水平逐渐下降，争斗也更少，说明它们也更少恐吓群体中的其他成员。由此推知，划线词“intimidate”的意思为“恐吓”。故选C项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。通过文章最后一段““In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, mutual relationships with trusted partners,” she said.(她说：“在黑猩猩中，随着年龄较大的雄性黑猩猩对配偶的竞争减少，它们可能会专注于与值得信赖的伙伴建立亲密、相互的关系。”)”可知，Robin Dunbar指出，减少对配偶的竞争导致了黑猩猩社交圈的减少。故选B项。 D We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says. 12. What does the scene described in the first paragraph show? A. People’s addiction to smartphones. B. Discomfort from crowds. C. Absence of interaction between strangers. D. Impatience with slow service. 13. What is important for successful small talk according to Carducci? A. Showing good manners. B. Relating to other people. C. Making business deals. D. Focusing on a shared topic. 14. What does the coffee-shop study suggest about small talk? A. It improves family relationships. B. It raises people’s confidence. C. It matters as much as a formal talk. D. It makes people feel good. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Skills of communication B. Ways of Breaking Silence C. Benefits of Small Talk D. Avoidance of Embarrassment 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。在当今社会，人们在公共场合或沉迷于智能手机，或与不舒服的沉默抗争，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。但人与人之间是需要适当的交谈闲聊的，闲聊是人际关系社会交往必不可少的部分，而且还有很多好处。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence.(我们都有过这样的经历：在电梯里、在银行排队或在飞机上，周围的人和我们一样，全神贯注地盯着自己的智能手机，或者更糟的是，在令人不安的沉默中挣扎)”由此可知，本段主要描述的是在公共场所，陌生人之间缺乏沟通。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段最后一句““Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.”(“闲聊是社交的润滑剂，”印第安纳大学东南分校害羞研究所主任Bernardo Carducci说。“几乎每一个伟大的爱情故事和每一笔大生意都是从闲聊开始的，”他解释说。“成功闲聊的关键是学会如何与他人建立联系，而不仅仅是与他们交流。”)”由此可知，根据Carducci的说法，成功的闲聊最重要的是与他人建立联系。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的调查结果“The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience.(结果显示，那些与服务员聊天的人表现出明显更高的积极情绪和更好的咖啡馆体验)”可知，那些与服务员聊天的人，有显著的积极情绪和更好的咖啡店体验，因为闲聊让人感觉很好。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。文章第二段提出论点：“Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits.(专家表示，这是一种宝贵的社会实践，会带来巨大的好处)”，接下来便通过引用专家的言论以及实验结果来证明闲谈的益处及重要性。所以选择项C“Benefits of Small Talk(闲谈的益处)”作为文章标题最为合适。故选C。 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。 It’s well known that kids benefit from eating dinner with their families.

Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage — I carried an 85-pounder (85磅重的南瓜) back last year. This year, it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time. With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost (向上), I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed (塞住) just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed (封闭的) space. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请如下格式在相应位置作答。　 It was five or six minutes though it felt much longer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The video was posted online the Monday before Halloween. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 It was five or six minutes though it felt much longer. Dad was summoned-less, it seemed, in expectation of practical help than to make sure he didn’t miss out on the spectacle. I heard him propose calling the fire department. “Stay tuned,” said Mom; she’d mentioned she was going to upload the video to Facebook, but it was only then that I realized she’d been filming the whole time. The video cuts before my rescue — Dad got me to push my head farther into the pumpkin so Mom could reach in and undo the rubber band round my ponytail. I emerged with squash-conditioned hair, a sore chin and my nose plugged with pulp. The video was posted the Monday before Halloween. By the end of that day, it had over 1, 000 views. People asked Mom to put it on Youtube, and by Wednesday morning we were getting 5: 00 am call from TV breakfast shows and then the international media-the video started racking up hundreds of thousands of views. When I went on a youth camp, I was recognized by children I’d never met. The pumpkin also became a minor celebrity. Passersby and trick-or-treaters would knock and ask, “Which is Rachel’s pumpkin?” before taking selfies with it. 【解析】 【导语】文章以南瓜为线索展开，讲述了每年万圣节作者都和弟弟妹妹去当地的一个农场，每人挑选出最大的南瓜带回家，今年作者和弟弟忘记给南瓜称重，不知道谁的最大，作者当时认为把头塞进南瓜里就能解决这个问题，但是当作者试图把头移开时，却发现头拔不出来了。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“只有五六分钟，尽管感觉时间更长。”可知，第一段可描写家人帮助作者的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“这段视频是在万圣节前的周一发布的。”可知，第二段可描写作者头塞进南瓜的视频在网上走红了。 2.续写线索 爸爸提议给消防队员打电话——作者意识到妈妈在拍视频——作者下巴疼痛——妈妈把视频放到网上——视频走红——作者去夏令营被认出来 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①提议：propose→offer ②意识到：realize→be aware of ③获得：rack up→obtain ④认出：recognize→identify 情绪类 ①疼痛的：sore→painful 【点睛】[高分句型1]“Stay tuned,” said Mom; she’d mentioned she was going to upload the video to Facebook, but it was only then that I realized she’d been filming the whole time.（it was…that…连接强调句） [高分句型2]When I went on a youth camp, I was recognized by children I’d never met.（when引导时间状语从句和省略关系词的定语从句） 听力答案：1-5 CCACB 6-10 ACCAB 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 BCABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 临川一中2024－2025高一上学期阶段性测试英语试卷 卷面满分：150 分 考试时间：120 分钟 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共 5小题；每小题 1.5分，满分 7.5分） 听下面 5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的 A、B、C 三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B When Goldstein was a young child, he took piano lessons every Saturday morning with a family friend. She would feed him breakfast, and Goldstein would get to check out her husband’s stamp collection. Eventually, they would get around to playing the piano. But when Goldstein was 12, his teacher told his parents that he needed better instruction. So his mother took him to a music school in the Bronx, and enrolled (注册) him in classes with a teacher named Alice Shapiro. This new teacher was known for being strict, and she quickly lived up to that name. One time, Shapiro asked Goldstein to memorize one of Beethoven’s master pieces for the next week. Goldstein replied immediately, saying he didn’t know if he could do that. Hearing Goldstein’s reply, Shapiro said seriously, “Well, if you say you won’t do it ... then you won’t be able to do it. You need to do it. I want to hear it memorized next week.” This was nothing like his lighthearted Saturday mornings with his former teacher, and it wasn’t long before Goldstein decided that he didn’t want to take piano lessons anymore. He figured he would pick up another instrument (乐器), or maybe just teach himself the piano. At one of his last lessons of the semester, Shapiro turned to him and said something surprising: “You’re not ready to stop.” The hesitant student immediately felt a sign from the teacher that she cared about him. That moment changed their relationship. Within a few weeks, they were having fun and laughing during lessons. And within a few months, she was teaching him things about music he had never known before. It was the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship. “She became my mentor (导师) and closest friend. I went into music, went to Juilliard, became a musician, and became a piano teacher,” Goldstein said. “And that’s what I’ve been doing for the past 50 years. And I owe it all to that one precious moment with my unsung hero, Alice Shapiro.” 4. Where did Goldstein have piano lessons before 12 years old? A. In the kindergarten. B. In a friend’s home. C. In a music school. D. In Alice Shapiro’s class. 5. How did Goldstein react to the memorizing task? A. He jumped at the challenge. B. He felt quite confused about it. C. He argued with the teacher. D. He expressed his doubt about it. 6. Why did Goldstein once intend to give up piano lessons? A. He missed his former teacher. B. He found piano lessons difficult. C. He couldn’t bear Shapiro’s strictness. D. He wanted to learn another instrument. 7. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. A teacher’s concern for students matters. B. It is a teacher’s duty to help students. C. A great teacher produces excellent students. D. Learning with fun makes things easy. C There is more that comes with older age than graying hair and wrinkled skin. When humans reach their later years, they favour more established friends and their social circle is reduced. Now, for what appears to be the first time, scientists have seen the same behaviour in another species. Twenty years of observations of chimpanzees (黑猩猩) show that older males choose to hang out with their long-term friends at the expense of other relationships. The researchers analyzed 78,000 hours of observations made between 1996 and 2016 that followed the social interactions of 21 male chimpanzees between the ages of 15 and 58 years old. They classified the chimps’ relationships depending on the amount of time they sat with others and groomed (梳毛) them. They then rated the various pairings as mutual (相互的) friendships, where both chimps seemed to enjoy the relationship; one-sided friendships, where one chimp was more keen to be friends than the other; and non-friendships, where neither chimp showed interest in the other. When the scientists looked at the patterns of friendships, they found that the older chimps had more mutual friendships and fewer one-sided friendships than younger chimps. Another feature seen in older humans was also found in the chimps. As the males got older, their levels of aggression (攻击性) tailed off, meaning they started fewer fights and tended to intimidate others in their group less often. The observations have left the researchers puzzled. According to an idea in psychology known as Socioemotional Selectivity Theory, older humans prefer more positive relationships because they are aware time is running out. But many animal experts argue that chimpanzees lack the human sense of death, suggesting something else is driving the behaviour. Robin Dunbar, a professor of evolutionary psychology at the University of Oxford, said in humans, the decline in social circles with age is due to declining social motivation to get out and meet people combined with lack of opportunity. “In chimpanzees, as older males compete less for mates, they may focus on close, mutual relationships with trusted partners,” she said. 8. What do older male chimpanzees favour? A. Old friendships. B. New partners. C. Coloured hair. D. Aged skin. 9 How did the researchers draw their conclusion about chimpanzees? A. By turning to other scientists for help. B. By monitoring chimps for 20 years. C. By building relationships with chimps. D. By studying long-time observations. 10. What does the underlined word “intimidate” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. Protect. B. Motivate. C. Frighten. D. Accompany. 11. According to Robin Dunbar, what explains declining social circles in chimpanzees? A. Awareness of time limit. B. Less competition for mates. C. Low motivation for socialization. D. Lack of the human sense of death. D We’ve all been there: in a lift, in line at the bank or on an airplane, surrounded by people who are, like us, deeply focused on their smartphones or, worse, struggling with the uncomfortable silence. What’s the problem? It’s possible that we all have compromised conversational intelligence. It’s more likely that none of us start a conversation because it’s awkward and challenging, or we think it’s annoying and unnecessary. But the next time you find yourself among strangers, consider that small talk is worth the trouble. Experts say it’s an invaluable social practice that results in big benefits. Dismissing small talk as unimportant is easy, but we can’t forget that deep relationships wouldn’t even exist if it weren’t for casual conversation. “Small talk is the grease (润滑剂) for social communication,” says Bernardo Carducci, director of the Shyness Research Institute at Indiana University Southeast. “Almost every great love story and each big business deal begins with small talk,” he explains. “The key to successful small talk is learning how to connect with others, not just communicate with them.” In a 2014 study, Elizabeth Dunn, associate professor of psychology at UBC, invited people on their way into a coffee shop. One group was asked to seek out an interaction (互动) with its waiter; the other, to speak only when necessary. The results showed that those who chatted with their server reported significantly higher positive feelings and a better coffee shop experience. “It’s not that talking to the waiter is better than talking to your husband,” says Dunn. “But interactions with peripheral (边缘的) members of our social network matter for our well-being also.” Dunn believes that people who reach out to strangers feel a significantly greater sense of belonging, a bond with others. Carducci believes developing such a sense of belonging starts with small talk. “Small talk is the basis of good manners,” he says. 12. What does the scene described in the first paragraph show? A.

Pumpkin (南瓜) carving at Halloween is a family tradition. We visit a local farm every October. In the pumpkin field, I compete with my three brothers and sister to seek out the biggest pumpkin. My dad has a rule that we have to carry our pumpkins back home, and as the eldest child I have an advantage — I carried an 85-pounder (85磅重的南瓜) back last year. This year it was hard to tell whether my prize or the one chosen by my 14-year-old brother, Jason, was the winner. Unfortunately we forgot to weigh them before taking out their insides, but I was determined to prove my point. All of us were hard at work at the kitchen table, with my mom filming the annual event. I’m unsure now why I thought forcing my head inside the pumpkin would settle the matter, but it seemed to make perfect sense at the time. With the pumpkin resting on the table, hole uppermost (向上), I bent over and pressed my head against the opening. At first I got jammed (塞住) just above my eyes and then, as I went on with my task, unwilling to quit, my nose briefly prevented entry. Finally I managed to put my whole head into it, like a cork (软木塞) forced into a bottle. I was able to straighten up with the huge pumpkin resting on my shoulders. My excitement was short-lived. The pumpkin was heavy. “I’m going to set it down, now,” I said, and with Jason helping to support its weight, I bent back over the table to give it somewhere to rest. It was only when I tried to remove my head that I realized getting out was going to be less straightforward than getting in. When I pulled hard, my nose got in the way. I got into a panic as I pressed firmly against the table and moved my head around trying to find the right angle, but it was no use. “I can’t get it out!” I shouted, my voice sounding unnaturally loud in the enclosed (封闭的) space. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请如下格式相应位置作答。　 It was five or six minutes though it felt much longer. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The video was posted online the Monday before Halloween. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力答案：1-5 CCACB 6-10 ACCAB 11-15 ABCAB 16-20 BCABA 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
