江西省宜春市樟树市滨江中学2024-2025学年高二上学期1月期末英语试题

参考答案 第一部分 听力 1—5 BCCAB 6—10 BACCC 11—15 BABBA 16—20 CABCA 第二部分 阅读 A篇 本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了由教育专家Wendy Priesnitz编写的四本电子书。 21. D 细节理解题。根据Beyond School: Living As If School Doesn’t Exist部分最后一句的“they create ways to help children learn about today’s world while becoming equipped to live in tomorrow’s”可知，该书介绍的方法会帮助孩子们了解当今世界，同时使他们为未来的生活做好准备。故选D。 22. C 推理判断题。根据Life Learning: Lessons From the Educational Frontier部分第一句“This is a unique collection of 30 essays about the story of learning written by parents and young people who have experienced it first-hand.”可知，本书是30篇文章的合集，文章的作者是亲身经历过这种教育的父母和年轻人，所以本书以现实生活中的例子为特色。故选C。 23. A 文章出处题。根据文章标题中的E-Books和文章最后的“We’re pleased to offer you free PDF downloads of these e-Books.”以及“PDF digital format only. Click here for more information and a limited-time free download.”可知，本文来自网站。故选A。 B篇:24．A 25．D 26．C 27．C 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是DARPA组织一次汽车越野比赛，目的是改进未来战场上的机器人汽车，同时还介绍这些机器人汽车的优点和缺点。 24．细节理解题。根据首段中的“Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers.(车队和观众都知道，可能根本没有赢家，因为这些车缺少一个关键的部分——司机。)”可知，团队和观众知道不会有胜者，因为这些参赛的汽车没有司机，由此可知，观众怀疑是不是会有车队能完成比赛的原因是汽车上根本没有任何人类的指引。故选A项。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields.(美国国防高级研究计划局（DARPA）组织了这场比赛，作为推动为未来战场开发机器人汽车的一部分。)”可知，DARPA组织比赛是作为推动未来战场机器人汽车发展的一部分，由此可推断，DARPA组织这次比赛是为了改进未来战争用车。故选D项。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The “winner”, if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire.(如果有“获胜者”的话，它跑了7.8英里后就撞进了一个又长又窄的洞里，前轮着火了。)”可知，机器人车辆跑了7.8英里，也就是大概8英里。故选C项。 27．推理判断题。根据尾段中的“The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately.(尽管这些机器人车辆配备了先进的计算机和GPS导航等必要的现代设备，但它们很难足够快地识别出前面的街区，而一个两岁大的人却能立即识别出来。)”可知，一个配备了现代设备的机器人车辆很难足够快的找出前方的街区，而一个两岁的孩子会立即认出，再根据“She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed.(她，甚至只有几个月大，都比人类设计的任何机器都更先进。)”可知，一个几个月大的孩子都比任何机器人都先进，由此可推断，最后一段暗示了机器人永远都不如人的智力，结合选项可知，C选项中的“机器人车辆无法处理小孩可以解决的简单问题。”与本段的内容吻合。故选C项。 C篇: 28．A 29．B 30．A 31．D 这是一篇说明文，主要介绍了研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料。这种涂料无需人工合成色素，模仿自然界光反射的原理而形成鲜亮的色彩，同时具备不吸收热量的优点，可以让人们在日益变暖的环境下享受多彩，健康、清凉的生活。 28．推理判断题。根据第二段“Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. (结构色彩不是通过传统的色素沉着创造出来的，而是通过无色材料的排列以特定的方式反射光线，就像雨后彩虹的形成一样。想想你见过的最美丽的颜色——森林绿、酒红或水晶蓝，然而，其中一些几乎是不可能人工重现的。这是因为这些美丽的颜色不是通过颜料实现的——它们都在结构中，就像孔雀羽毛的绿色一样。)”以及第三段“Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. (想想那些吃了樱桃后你的嘴会变红，或者你的牛仔裤因为坐在潮湿的草地上而变绿。这些是颜料。)”可知，A选项的葡萄与文章中的樱桃及草相似，含有色素，是非结构色，故选A。 29．词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials. (我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。)”可知，使用此类涂料会污染自然环境，是有害的，划线单词的含义是“有害的”。A. Attractive吸引人的；B. Harmful有害的；C. Neutral中性的；D. Useless无用的。故选B项。 30．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“To create these colors, synthetic (合成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” (为了创造这些颜色，合成材料如重金属被用来创造生动的颜料。Chanda强调说：“深蓝色需要钴；深红色需要镉。它们是有毒的。我们使用这种油漆正在污染我们的自然。因此，我们的主要动机之一是创造基于无毒材料的颜色。”)”和第四段“Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. (除了结构所能提供的美丽色彩和安全性之外，Chanda还发现，与颜料不同，结构涂料不吸收热量，而是将光反射回去。这就是为什么人们被建议在炎热的天气里穿浅色的衣服，以及为什么许多建筑物被漆成白色。这意味着这种环保涂料可以帮助社区在日益变暖的气候中保持凉爽。)”可知，新研发的这种涂料的优势在于它模仿自然界的结构色，无需吸收热量就能反射光线创造出鲜明的颜色，而且是基于非毒性材料制成的。因此，选项A“Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. (鲜艳、环保且具有降温效果)”最能全面概括这种新涂料的优点。 故选A项。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段中的“A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. (佛罗里达州的一组研究人员可能刚刚创造了世界上最酷的涂料。)”和末段的“I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment. (我希望这种涂料能成为未来更健康、更凉爽的环境。)”可知，研究者Chanda和他的团队运用结构色原理创造了一种生态友好的新型涂料，使用结构色能帮助人们享受更凉爽和健康的生活。故选D项。 D篇 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一款名为CyberRunner的人工智能机器人在迷宫弹珠游戏中击败了人类，这是第一次有机器可以同时掌握身体灵活性和学习能力。 32. A 细节理解题。根据第一段的“it can master both physical flexibility and learning”可知，CyberRunner在游戏中的表现证明了它可以同时掌握身体灵活性和学习能力，也就是说，这款机器人在智力上和身体上都展现出灵活性。故选A。 33. C 词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句中的“humans require great amounts of practice”并结合常识可知，人类需要大量的练习才能熟悉并精通这款游戏。所以expert“熟练的，经验（或知识）丰富的”与画线词的含义相近。故选C。 34. B 推理判断题。根据最后一段Thomas Bi所说的话中的“It found ways to ‘cheat’ by skipping certain parts of the maze.”可知，在学习过程中，CyberRunner发现了捷径，它通过跳过迷宫的某些部分找到了“作弊”的方法，研究人员不得不介入并指示它不要走这些捷径。由此可知，CyberRunner有很强的解决问题的能力。故选B。 35. B 主旨大意题。本文介绍了人工智能机器人CyberRunner在迷宫弹珠游戏中获胜，重点强调了这一比赛结果背后的意义，即说明了机器人可以同时掌握身体灵活性和学习能力。B项“智能机器人赢得弹珠比赛”能较好地概括文章大意。故选B。 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了讲好故事的技巧，包括了解听众，谨慎选择说话方式，使故事更吸引人，以及进行令人舒适的眼神交流等。 36. B 本段为文章的总起段，提到你在很多时候沉浸在电视剧的情节中时，可能会在脑海中设想将自己的故事搬上荧屏，而最大的障碍就是如何讲述自己的故事。同时结合下文所提及的“讲述自己的故事”的一些技巧可知，B项可以引导读者继续阅读下去，了解将要介绍的一些“讲述自己的故事”的关键技巧，符合语境。故选B。 37. G 根据本段的小标题“Know your audience.”可知，本段说的是要了解自己的听众群体。根据空后的“Likewise, your friends might find a story about your work boring.”中的Likewise可知，空处与下文之间是顺承关系，都是在举例说明如何选择让听众感兴趣的故事。分析选项可知，G项“你朋友的趣事不应该出现在工作面试中。”符合语境，且其中的your friends与下文中的your friends相呼应。故选G。 38. A 空处应填入本段的小标题。本段说你在讲述故事时不要像机器人一样照着纸念，而是要注意自己的说话方式，使自己的表达更加真实。分析选项可知，A项提到要谨慎选择说话方式，符合下文强调的“避免机械化和不真实的表达”。故选A。 39. D 根据上文中的“As your story develops, make changes to your voice so that the audience can get engaged.”可知，本段建议随着故事的发展来改变你的声音，这样听众就能沉浸其中。分析选项可知，D项“描述动作场面时要加快语速。”符合语境，与空后一句都是对上文的举例说明。D项中的Quicken与下文中的slow形成对比。故选D。 40. E 根据本段的小标题“Make comfortable eye contact.”可知，本段建议保持令人舒适的眼神接触。下文中的“Glancing between people or shifting your eyes too much can seem untrustworthy, while holding eye contact with one person for too long can make him or her uncomfortable.”提到，要避免过于频繁地转移视线或者过度注视某个人。分析选项可知，E项强调需要找到恰当的平衡点，以保持良好的眼神接触，符合语境。故选E。 第三部分 语言运用 本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了一对夫妇和勇敢的海滩游客帮助搁浅在海滩上的鲨鱼重回大海，并呼吁人们帮助搁浅在海滩上的动物的故事。 41. A 考查副词辨析。根据上文中的“Realizing what happened to the shark”及语境可知，这对夫妇立即联系了当局。故选A。 42. C 考查动词辨析。根据上文中的“Realizing what happened to the shark, the couple _____ contacted authorities”及语境可知，这对夫妇立即联系了当局，让他们知道鲨鱼被冲上了海岸。故选C。 43. D 考查名词辨析。根据下文中的“Following a couple of _____ attempts on his own”及语境可知，当Josh意识到鲨鱼可能只需要被推回水里时，他决定自己动手。take matters into one’s own hands意为“某人自己动手”。故选D。 44. D 考查名词辨析。根据下文“The shark was so _____ that it took the four of them to enter into the water.”可知，最后，四个人一起把鲨鱼推回了水里。由此可知，此处表示当Josh意识到鲨鱼可能只需要被推回水里时，他决定亲自动手。故选D。 45. B 考查形容词辨析。根据下文中的“three additional beachgoers chose to _____”及语境可知，此处指Josh几次尝试都没有成功。故选B。 46. B 考查动词短语辨析。根据下文“After a few moments to restore, the shark swam away, and the eyewitnesses gave the four men a burst of _____.”及语境可知，此处指有三名海滩游客选择伸出援助之手。故选B。 47. C 考查动词辨析。根据下文中的“thrashed (扑打) the beach”及语境可知，远处的人们注意到这条搁浅的鲨鱼在海滩上挣扎和扑打着。故选C。 48. A 考查动词辨析。根据上文中的“the distressed (苦恼的) Mako shark _____ and thrashed (扑打) the beach”及语境可知，此处指挣扎和扑打着的鲨鱼一度把救援人员甩到一边。故选A。 49. D 考查形容词辨析。根据下文中的“After a few moments to restore, the shark swam away”可知，此处指最后，他们设法把鲨鱼拉到更深的水域。故选D。 50. B 考查名词辨析。根据上文中的“Eventually, they managed to pull it to _____ water.

We have been learning with each other for a long time and I am really grateful for your effective guidance, without which I wouldn’t have made such great advances in English. Also, I am happy to know that you have progressed a lot in Chinese. However, faced with the College Entrance Examinations, I have no time to surf the Internet regularly now. Would it be possible that we continue our communication after the exam? I would appreciate your understanding for forgiveness. Looking forward to studying with you online soon Best wishes! Yours, Paragraph 1: To her surprise, the campaign received much more than the target amount. Within a week, she raised enough money to provide Internet access for all of her students for the rest of the school year. She was overjoyed and grateful, and so were her students. They were able to restart their online classes and see Jessie again. They thanked Mrs. Levinson and their generous neighbors for making their holiday season brighter. Paragraph 2: As the story spread throughout the community, more and more people were touched by Mrs. Levinson’s kindness and generosity. They wanted to show their appreciation and support for her and her students. Some of them sent her thank-you cards and messages, some of them donated more money and resources, and some of them even offered to volunteer as tutors for the kids. Mrs. Levinson was amazed by the outpouring of love and goodwill from the community. She felt that she had not only helped her students, but also inspired others to help as well. 听力材料 Text 1 M: Hello, this is Ultimate Computers.

W: Don’t worry. I’ll cheer you on by your side. Text 7 W: You look upset. What’s the matter, Paul? M: I locked my keys in the car, but I have to go to the airport to pick up my aunt.

W: Oh, it’s very comfortable. It’s fairly warm in spring, and in summer it’s mostly bright and sunny. Fall is the most beautiful season. It’s the time to see red maple leaves. Winter in Quebec is a bit long, usually lasting about six months. In winter you can see snow everywhere, and the whole world turns white. M: I can imagine that. Now please tell me something about the people there. W: The people in the city are mostly French-Canadians, and about 95% of them only speak French. They enjoy a better life and live longer than most people in other parts of the world. M: Wow, it’s such a good place. You must miss it very much, don’t you? W: Yes, but not very often.

Our company has become better known, not only in our area but also in other cities.

B Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money. To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours. Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part — drivers. DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields. But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance. One had its brake locked up in the starting area. Another began by throwing itself onto a wall. Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles. One turned upside down. One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote control. One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock. The “winner”, if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire. “You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things,” says Reinhold Bebringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonies, “Even ants can do all these tasks effortlessly. It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines.” The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately. Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen, she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie, it will taste good. She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed. 24．Why did the watchers doubt if any of the vehicles could finish the race? A．They did not have any human guidance. B．The road was not familiar to the drivers. C．The distance was too long for the vehicles. D．The prize money was unattractive to the drivers. 25．What was the purpose of the race organized by DARPA? A．To raise money for producing more robotic vehicles. B．To push the development of vehicle industry. C．To train more people to drive in the desert. D．To improve the vehicles for future wars. 26．In the race, what was the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered? A．Almost two miles. B．Six miles. C．About eight miles. D．About one mile. 27．What does the writer imply in the last paragraph? 级训 勤俭朴实 勤学苦读 勤劳刻苦 勤奋向上 A．A robotic vehicle can finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties. B．A little child who has just learned to walk can’t reach the cookie on the table. C．A robotic vehicle can’t deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve. D．A little child can understand the importance of wiping apple juice off her face. C A team of researchers in Florida may have just created the world’s coolest paint ever. Chanda, a researcher in the University of Central Florida, and his team have created a way to imitate copy nature’s ability to reflect light and create beautifully vivid color without absorbing any heat like traditional pigments (色素) do. They focus on exploring structural color (结构色) and how people could use it to live cooler in a rapidly warming world. Structural colors are created not from traditional pigmentation but from the arrangement of colorless materials to reflect light in certain ways, like how rainbows are made after it rains. Think about the most beautiful colors you’ve ever seen-forest green, wine red or crystal blue, some of which, however, are nearly impossible to recreate artificially. That’s because these beautiful colors are not achieved through pigments — they’re all in the structure, like the green of peacocks’ feathers. Think about those cherries that redden your mouth after eating them or when your jeans turned green from sitting in wet grass. These are pigments. To create these colors, synthetic (合 成的) materials like heavy metals are used to create vivid paints. Chanda stressed, “A deep blue needs cobalt; a deep red needs cadmium. They are toxic. We are polluting our nature by using this kind of paint. So one of the major motivations for us is to create colors based on non-toxic materials.” Beyond the beautiful colors and safety that structure can provide, Chanda also found that unlike pigments, structural paint does not absorb heat but reflects light back. That’s why people are advised to wear lighter colors in hotter days and why many buildings are painted white. This means this eco-friendly paint could help communities keep cool in an increasingly warming climate. “Nature has followed the path to create harmony among our surroundings,” Chanda said. “We want to be colorful but our color production is not really supported or inspired by nature. I hope this paint could be the future to a healthier, cooler environment.” 28．Which of the following colors doesn’t belong to structural colors? A．The purple of ripe grapes. B．The blue of butterfly wings. C．The orange of bright rainbows. D．The green of peacocks’ feathers. 29．What does the underlined word “toxic” in the third paragraph probably mean? A．Attractive. B．Harmful. C．Neutral. D．Useless. 30．Which of the following best describes the advantages of the newly-created paint? A. Vivid, eco-friendly and cooling. B. Colorless, healthy and artificial. C．Traditional, healthy and cooling. D．Vivid, man-made and eco-friendly. 31．What’s the main idea of the text? A．Many attractive colors couldn’t be recreated artificially. B．Human beings should respect the harmony of our surroundings. C．Traditional approaches of color production remain to be improved. D．The paint of structural color could help people live cooler and healthier.

The game, which involves controlling a marble around a series of obstacles while stopping the ball falling into multiple holes, requires skill, patience and a delicate touch. Currently, Sweden’s Lars Goran Danielsson, who has played the game for 35 years, holds the record for completing the maze (迷宫) in 15.41 seconds. But a robot called CyberRunner, built by Swiss researchers at ETH Zurich, clocked a time of 14.48 seconds after just six hours of practice. A professor at ETH Zurich said, “It’s not just about beating humans at a game. It’s beating humans at a game that requires direct physical skill and flexibility. The first model that allowed a machine to beat a human at a game was instrumental. Now what we’re doing here isn’t just to change the type of challenge. We’re adding dimensions, adding multiple boundaries to be broken.” In the game, which was first brought to market by British company Brio in 1946, the movement of the marble is controlled through two handles. While a relatively straightforward game, it requires fine motor skills and spatial reasoning abilities, and humans require great amounts of practice to become dexterous at the game. The robot uses two motors to move the handles and watches its progress through a camera fixed above the board. Just like humans, CyberRunner learns through experience, recognising which strategies and behaviours are more promising, so that it gets better run after run, using model-based reinforcement (加强) learning. Computer scientists were interested to find that CyberRunner’s first reaction was to cheat, finding quicker ways by skipping parts of the maze. Thomas Bi, another professor, said, “Interestingly, during the learning process, CyberRunner naturally discovered shortcuts. It found ways to ‘cheat’ by skipping certain parts of the maze. We had to step in and exactly instruct it not to take any of those shortcuts.” Experts said the new breakthrough marked the world’s first physical application of AI where it beat a human. 32. How did CyberRunner perform in the game? A. It showed flexibility both physically and mentally. B. Its mental state was disturbed frequently. C. It showed no interest in playing games. D. It showed a breakthrough in human performance. 33. What does the underlined word “dexterous” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Excited. B. Nervous. C. Expert. D. Overjoyed. 34. What does Thomas Bi mean by his words? A. Experts should give CyberRunner more tips. B. CyberRunner is good at solving problems. C. The application of AI is falling behind. D. CyberRunner won by cheating. 35. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. ETH Zurich’s Robot Breaks Chess Records B. A Smart Robot Wins in a Marble Game C. CyberRunner: A Robot Race Winner D.

The biggest challenge to overcome lies in how to deliver your story. 36 Know your audience. 级训 勤俭朴实 勤学苦读 勤劳刻苦 勤奋向上 37 滨江中学 2026 届高二上学期期末考试英语试卷（第 6页，共 8页） Likewise, your friends might find a story about your work boring. Keep your audience in mind and tell them a story that appeals to their interest. With people you know well, some jokes might be all right. With people you don’t know well, keep your stories as least likely to embarrass someone as possible. 38 While you may practice delivering your story for many times, try not to deliver your story as if you were reading off the paper like a robot. Be cautious of the way you speak, make your delivery seem authentic and add some personal touches to it. Instead of trying to be perfect, give yourself some room to improvise (即兴创作). Make your story more engaging. When you speak as a certain character in your story, use a different voice to make it clear that the very character is speaking instead of another. As your story develops, make changes to your voice so that the audience can get engaged. 39 At serious points, slow your delivery to put your listeners on the edges of their seats. Make comfortable eye contact. Maintaining eye contact helps. 40 Look at someone for a few seconds, then make eye contact with the next person. Glancing between people or shifting your eyes too much can seem untrustworthy, while holding eye contact with one person for too long can make him or her uncomfortable. A. Be mindful of your speech. B. Below are some essential techniques. C. Here are must-dos for TV producers. D. Quicken your pace to describe action scenes. E. However, you should find the delicate balance. F. Practice your speech multiple times before delivering. G. Amusing incidents of your friends deserve no spot at job interviews. 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，从短文后各题所给的 A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Tina and Josh Fey were both relaxing on the beach when the 10-foot Mako shark straightly made for the shore.

This tradition started with Jessie the Elf, a 级训 勤俭朴实 勤学苦读 勤劳刻苦 勤奋向上 festive doll that brought small gifts to brighten people’s lives amid hardships. Mrs. Levinson knew that many of her students came from low-income families, and some of them even experienced homelessness, hunger, or abuse. She wanted to give them a sense of joy and hope, and show them that someone cared for them. Every morning, the students would find Jessie in a different spot in the classroom, holding a new surprise for them. Sometimes it was a candy cane, sometimes it was a pencil, and sometimes it was a handwritten note of encouragement. The students loved Jessie and looked forward to seeing what she had for them each day 滨江中学 2026 届高二上学期期末考试英语试卷（第 8页，共 8页） . However, an unexpected financial crisis severely impacted Mrs. Levinson’s own resources. Her husband lost his job, and they had to pay for their daughter’s college tuition. Should she continue buying gifts for the kids or pay her heavy mortgage (抵押贷款)? After a brief inner conflict, she chose to sacrifice her own needs and continued the classroom tradition, hoping that the gifts would bring some joy and hope to the kids who had so little. Yet, what happened afterwards made her choice even more challenging. Transitioning to online classes, she discovered a heartbreaking fact: many students couldn’t attend online classes due to the inability to afford household Internet. She felt helpless and frustrated, knowing that they were missing out on their education and their connection with their classmates and teachers. She also worried about their mental health and well-being. Just as Mrs. Levinson felt sad, she had a good idea. She decided to launch a fundraising campaign (筹款活动) on the Nextdoor App, urging neighbors to help students by covering their Internet costs. She explained the situation and asked for donations of any amount. 注意：（1）续写词数应为 150个左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 To her surprise, the campaign received much more than the target amount.____________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ As the story spread throughout the community, more and more people were touched by Mrs. Levinson’s kindness and generosity. ____________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________________
