British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics. She had never jumped over barriers before her thirties. In 2010, she competed in both the 1,500m and steeplechase at the Commonwealth Games, which became a turning point. After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000m and 10,000m. In 2011, although they hadn’t planned to compete indoors that season, she was in excellent shape. She won the match in Glasgow, breaking Liz McColgan’s record. Then she set her personal best in the 3,000m at Birmingham. Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she was the fastest runner on paper, but she had come fourth twice before in these championships. Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully. For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end. She had never trusted her finishing sprint (冲刺) before, but that day she did. Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind, she won her first gold medal. At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title. Many people had kept asking when she would retire, but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed. She changed her training as she got older, being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover. As she says, as long as you take care of your body, you can still run fast. This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports. 4. What motivated British Athletics to suggest the steeplechase to Helen? A. Her running speed. B. Her jumping ability. C. The popularity of the steeplechase. D. The opportunity to participate in the Olympics. 5. What can be inferred from Helen’s conversation with her coach? A. She wanted to retire. B. She lacked confidence. C. She needed new challenges. D. She feared competition. 6. What made Helen successful in the final race according to paragraph 4? A. She followed her coach’s race arrangements. B She changed her style. C. She copied her opponents. D. She trained harder than others. 7. What message does the text mainly convey? A. Age is no barrier to success. B. Challenge is unavoidable in life. C. Training methods vary with age. D. Success belongs to those with curiosity. C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid, and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic pillars (柱子) that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 8. How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A. It is made from plastic. B. It employs water drops. C. It is designed by a student. D. It features metal structures. 9. What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Enlarged. B. Combined. C. Distinguished. D. Shown. 10. What does Du’s team expect of the system? A. It will have wide application in medical treatment. B. It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C. It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D. It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain B. There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks C. Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids D. Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets D At some level, advice on how to inspire employees is silly. It’s usually either obvious — be good at your job, be passionate about the work and make the people on your teams feel valued — or shockingly inauthentic（不真实的）. But much more practical insights can be found in a coming book called Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others, by Adam Galinsky, an academic at Columbia Business School. Lots of firms use a series of boringly abstract words to convey their goal: “change”, “innovate”, “connect” and so on. Mr Galinsky cites an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour. Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language — to create toys that “… make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile” — produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more general. Another study is mentioned in Mr Galinsky’s book. Participants were asked to reflect on important events in their lives, such as their choice of college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not happened. This group attributed greater meaning to the event in question, whether because they concluded fate had played a part in it or because it forced them to think through its results more clearly. This type of counterfactual thinking（反事实思维） can also be used to strengthen employees’ ties to firms: Prompting people to imagine a world in which their company does not exist seems to increase a sense of belonging. Perhaps the most striking idea in Mr Galinsky’s book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In this study some Swiss citizens who had newly registered with a government employment agency were asked to do a10 - to 15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not do the exercise. 12. Why is a statement with more visual language mentioned? A. To promote a lively air in firms. B. To prove Mr Galinsky’s view. C. To state richness of a language. D. To persuade readers to value expression. 13. What role does the counterfactual thinking play in a firm? A. It promotes employees’ sense of belonging. B. It makes employees reflect on their strengths. C. It inspires employees to study hard. D. It trains employees to be creative. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. An interesting example about designing toys. B. Individuals’ self-motivation for job-seeking. C. Practical use of Swiss government measures. D. An employment plan from Columbia Business School. 15. What is the text probably? A. An introduction. B. A research article. C. A news report. D. A journal. 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。 Although many people still like to have three main meals a day, others are choosing a lighter way of eating rather than substantial meals. ____16____.

I longed to achieve something to prove to myself that I am a capable person. So, I took part in various competitions, hoping to experience the thrill of victory and boost my self-esteem (自尊). Unfortunately, I never succeeded in any of these competitions. This constant failure led me to feel discouraged. Feeling upset, I wanted to give up trying altogether. When my father noticed my disheartened spirit, he decided to step in and help me. One sunny Saturday afternoon, he took me to a carnival held by our local community center. Every year, our town eagerly awaited this carnival, which was organized to raise funds for local charities. The carnival featured a wide range of delicious foods, exciting rides, games, music, and other attractions. My dad led me to a colorful tent at the carnival. Inside, a game was set up specifically for children. The game involved throwing rings onto bottles to win prizes. An elderly man with a kind face was in charge of the game. It was still early, and no other kids were around yet. My dad pushed me forward and encouraged me to give it a try. I approached the old man nervously and asked, “How do I play this game?” He smiled warmly and explained, “It’s simple and fun. Just throw these rings and try to get them over the bottles. If you manage to get even one ring on a bottle, you’ll win a prize of your choice.” I then asked about the cost of the game. The old man replied, “It’s five dollars for ten rings.” My dad handed me the money quickly, and I passed it to the old man, who then gave me a bundle of ten rings. I took a deep breath and threw out my first ring. It missed the bottle completely, landing on the ground with a soft sound. Ring after ring, I missed each attempt. Sweat began to form on my forehead, and my hands trembled. 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。 With only one ring left, I was very nervous. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held the prize tightly in my hands, with a huge smile spreading across my face. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力1—5 ABBCC 6—10 ABCAB 11—15 ABAAB 16—20 BCCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024—2025学年高二开学测试 英语 注意事项： 1.答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。 例: How much is the shirt?

She won the match in Glasgow, breaking Liz McColgan’s record. Then she set her personal best in the 3,000m at Birmingham. Going into the European Athletics Indoor Championships, she was the fastest runner on paper, but she had come fourth twice before in these championships. Her coach and she discussed race strategy carefully. For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end. She had never trusted her finishing sprint (冲刺) before, but that day she did. Even though Russian runner Olesya Syreva was close behind, she won her first gold medal. At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title. Many people had kept asking when she would retire, but this victory proved that older athletes could still succeed. She changed her training as she got older, being more careful with hard training sessions and taking more time to recover. As she says, as long as you take care of your body, you can still run fast. This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports. 4. What motivated British Athletics to suggest the steeplechase to Helen? A. Her running speed. B. Her jumping ability. C. The popularity of the steeplechase. D. The opportunity to participate in the Olympics. 5. What can be inferred from Helen’s conversation with her coach? A. She wanted to retire. B. She lacked confidence. C. She needed new challenges. D. She feared competition. 6. What made Helen successful in the final race according to paragraph 4? A She followed her coach’s race arrangements. B. She changed her style. C. She copied her opponents. D. She trained harder than others. 7. What message does the text mainly convey? A. Age is no barrier to success. B. Challenge is unavoidable in life. C. Training methods vary with age. D. Success belongs to those with curiosity. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了海伦·克利瑟罗作为年龄较大的运动员，依然在田径领域取得成功的励志故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“British Athletics encouraged her to try it because 2008 would be the first time women’s steeplechase was in the Olympics.(英国田径协会鼓励她尝试一下，因为2008年将是女子障碍赛跑首次进入奥运会。)”可知，英国田径协会向海伦建议参加障碍赛跑是因为参加奥运会的机会。故选D。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“After a few injuries and falling out of love with the steeplechase a little bit, she talked with her coach John Nuttall about her options. They decided to attempt different challenges to focus on longer distances — the 5,000m and 10,000m.(在几次受伤，并对障碍赛跑有点失去兴趣后，她与教练约翰·纳托尔讨论了她的选择。他们决定尝试不同的挑战，专注于更长的距离——5000米和10000米。)”可知，从海伦和她教练的对话中可以推断出她需要新的挑战。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“For the first time, she followed her coach’s advice exactly, staying near the front but not leading until the end.(这一次，她完全听从了教练的建议，保持在前面，但直到最后才领先。)”可知，是听从了教练的比赛安排让海伦在最后的比赛中取得了成功。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“At 37, she became the oldest person to win a European indoor title.(37岁时，她成为赢得欧洲室内田径锦标赛冠军年龄最大的人。)”和“This win was special because it came after many years of trying and showed that age shouldn’t limit anyone’s dreams in sports.(这次胜利很特别，因为它是经过多年努力才取得的，表明年龄不应限制任何人在体育方面的梦想。)”可知，这篇文章主要传达了年龄不是成功的障碍这一信息。故选A。 C Engineers usually build devices using solids like metal or plastic. However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid, and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion. The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks. Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets (水滴) could do something similar. This could be a great way to build systems that control the flow of liquids in tiny tubes, a field known as microfluidics, which studies how liquids move in small spaces, such as in batteries or to model blood flow in the body. In their research, Du’s team designed a system where water droplets could stick together to form a liquid path. They created a grid with tiny plastic pillars (柱子) that held the droplets in place. When the droplets touched, they joined together but did not spill (溢出) out. This allowed the scientists to control the direction of the liquid path. If they needed to change the direction, they could easily move the droplets around, much like changing the setup of blocks. The system was reconfigurable, meaning it could be quickly adjusted without starting over. This flexibility is important in microfluidics, where experiments often need to be changed as new discoveries are made. Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient. 8. How does the device created by the team in China differ from others? A. It is made from plastic. B. It employs water drops. C. It is designed by a student. D. It features metal structures. 9. What does the underlined word “amalgamated” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Enlarged. B. Combined. C. Distinguished. D. Shown. 10. What does Du’s team expect of the system? A. It will have wide application in medical treatment. B. It will bring a heavy profit to the team. C. It will enable students to be fond of blocks. D. It will decrease the cost of artificial organs. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. Exposure to Various Blocks Sharpens the Brain B. There Is a Growing Trend Toward Playing Blocks C. Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids D. Engineers Unlocked the Secret of Water Droplets 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项来自中国的研究团队的创新成果——使用水滴构建的新型设备，该设备有助于微小液体的研究和管理，并强调了其易于构建、调整和改造的特点。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“However, a team in China has created a new type of device using drops of water. These devices help study and management of tiny amounts of liquid, and the best part is that they are easy to build, adjust, and refashion.(然而，中国的一个研究团队用水滴制造出了一种新型设备。这些设备有助于对微量液体进行研究和管理，而且最棒的是，它们易于制造、调整和改造。)”可知，该设备的特别之处在于使用了水滴，这与通常用固体材料制造的设备不同。故选B。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Du realized that just like blocks that can be amalgamated together and can be rearranged, water droplets(水滴)could do something similar.(杜鑫意识到，就像积木可以……在一起并重新排列一样，水滴也能做到类似的事情。)”可推测，积木是可以组合在一起并重新排列。选项B“combined”意为“结合、组合”与此相符。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Du’s team is also working to improve the system by making even smaller channels. Their final goal is to use this technology to improve organoid research, where artificial organs made from living cells are studied. This new system could provide better ways to supply nutrients or blood to these growing cells, making the study of living tissues more accurate and efficient.(杜鑫的团队还在努力改进这个系统，他们打算制作更小的通道。他们的最终目标是利用这项技术推动类器官研究的发展，类器官研究主要是对由活细胞制成的人造器官进行研究。这个新系统可以为这些正在生长的细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，从而使对活体组织的研究更加准确和高效。)”可知，他们的最终目标是利用这项技术推动类器官研究的发展，该系统可以为正在生长的细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，使对活体组织的研究更加准确和高效。类器官研究属于医学研究范畴，该系统能推动类器官研究发展，为细胞提供更好的营养物质或血液供应方式，这表明它有望在医疗领域得到广泛应用。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“The idea for this project came from blocks. Xin Du, a researcher at Southeast University in Nanjing, China, was inspired when a student brought in a set of blocks.(这个项目的灵感来源于积木。中国南京东南大学的研究员杜鑫，在一名学生带来一套积木时获得了启发。)”以及全文内容可知，文章开篇介绍中国团队用水滴制造出新型设备，接着说明该项目的灵感来源于积木，研究员杜鑫受积木可以拼接和重新排列的启发，想到水滴也能如此，进而设计出控制液体流动的系统，最后提到团队对该系统的改进和期望。选项C“Blocks Inspired a New Way to Study Liquids”准确概括了文章核心内容，即积木的拼接和排列方式给研究员带来灵感，促使其设计出用水滴控制液体流动的新方法来研究液体。故选C。 D At some level, advice on how to inspire employees is silly. It’s usually either obvious — be good at your job, be passionate about the work and make the people on your teams feel valued — or shockingly inauthentic（不真实的）. But much more practical insights can be found in a coming book called Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others, by Adam Galinsky, an academic at Columbia Business School. Lots of firms use a series of boringly abstract words to convey their goal: “change”, “innovate”, “connect” and so on. Mr Galinsky cites an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behaviour. Teams who were handed a statement with more visual language — to create toys that “… make wide-eyed kids laugh and proud parents smile” — produced more engaging toys than teams who were given something more general. Another study is mentioned in Mr Galinsky’s book. Participants were asked to reflect on important events in their lives, such as their choice of college. Some were also asked to think about how things would have turned out if this event had not happened. This group attributed greater meaning to the event in question, whether because they concluded fate had played a part in it or because it forced them to think through its results more clearly. This type of counterfactual thinking（反事实思维） can also be used to strengthen employees’ ties to firms: Prompting people to imagine a world in which their company does not exist seems to increase a sense of belonging. Perhaps the most striking idea in Mr Galinsky’s book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. In this study some Swiss citizens who had newly registered with a government employment agency were asked to do a10 - to 15-minute exercise in which they reflected on values that mattered to them. They were three times more likely to find a job than those who did not do the exercise. 12. Why is a statement with more visual language mentioned? A. To promote a lively air in firms. B. To prove Mr Galinsky’s view. C. To state richness of a language. D. To persuade readers to value expression. 13. What role does the counterfactual thinking play in a firm? A. It promotes employees’ sense of belonging. B. It makes employees reflect on their strengths. C. It inspires employees to study hard. D. It trains employees to be creative. 14. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. An interesting example about designing toys. B. Individuals’ self-motivation for job-seeking. C. Practical use of Swiss government measures. D. An employment plan from Columbia Business School. 15. What is the text probably? A. An introduction. B. A research article. C. A news report. D. A journal. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了哥伦比亚商学院学者Adam Galinsky在即将出版的Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others一书中提到的激励员工的独特方法。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Mr Galinsky cites an experiment that showed the effect of more concrete language. In it, teams were asked to design toys and given a vision statement to guide their behavior. (加林斯基先生引用了一项实验，该实验显示了更具体的语言的效果。在实验中，团队被要求设计玩具，并给出一份视觉性陈述来指导他们的行为。)”可知，更多视觉语言的陈述是为了显示更具体的语言的效果，即证明加林斯基先生的观点。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“This type of counterfactual thinking（反事实思维） can also be used to strengthen employees’ ties to firms: Prompting people to imagine a world in which their company does not exist seems to increase a sense of belonging. (这种反事实思维也可以用来加强员工与公司的联系：促使人们想象一个不存在自己公司的世界，似乎可以增加归属感。)”可知，反事实思维在公司中可以提高员工的归属感。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Perhaps the most striking idea in Mr Galinsky’s book is that, instead of bosses motivating people from above, individuals can do it for themselves. (也许加林斯基书中最引人注目的观点是，职场中个人可以自我激励，而不是老板从上面激励员工。)”可知最后一段主要讲述个人在职场中的自我激励。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“But much more practical insights can be found in a coming book called Inspire: The Universal Path for Leading Yourself and Others, by Adam Galinsky, an academic at Columbia Business School. (但在即将出版的《激励：领导自己和他人的通用之路》一书中可以找到更实用的见解，作者是哥伦比亚商学院的学者Adam Galinsky)”可知，本文主要介绍Adam Galinsky的一本书。故选A。 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。 Although many people still like to have three main meals a day, others are choosing a lighter way of eating rather than substantial meals. ____16____.

F 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述了如何选择适合自己生活方式的饮食方式。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Although many people still like to have three main meals a day, others are choosing a lighter way of eating rather than substantial meals. (尽管许多人仍然喜欢一日三餐，但也有人选择了清淡的饮食方式，而不是丰盛的一餐。)” 及下文“The important thing is to make sure you choose healthy foods. (重要的是要确保你选择健康的食物。)” 可知，作者在划线处上文先提出两种不同的饮食方式，下文给出的建议是“确保你选择健康的食物”可知，划线处并未否定任何一种饮食方式，即两种方式都有可行实处，只要健康即可。选项B. “Either option is equally acceptable (两种选择都是可以接受的)”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据第二段“For some people, the pressures of combining work and family leave little time for food preparation. Others regularly eat on their own and don’t want to bother cooking a full meal.

I longed to achieve something to prove to myself that I am a capable person. So, I took part in various competitions, hoping to experience the thrill of victory and boost my self-esteem (自尊). Unfortunately, I never succeeded in any of these competitions. This constant failure led me to feel discouraged. Feeling upset, I wanted to give up trying altogether. When my father noticed my disheartened spirit, he decided to step in and help me. One sunny Saturday afternoon, he took me to a carnival held by our local community center. Every year, our town eagerly awaited this carnival, which was organized to raise funds for local charities. The carnival featured a wide range of delicious foods, exciting rides, games, music, and other attractions. My dad led me to a colorful tent at the carnival. Inside, a game was set up specifically for children. The game involved throwing rings onto bottles to win prizes. An elderly man with a kind face was in charge of the game. It was still early, and no other kids were around yet. My dad pushed me forward and encouraged me to give it a try. I approached the old man nervously and asked, “How do I play this game?” He smiled warmly and explained, “It’s simple and fun. Just throw these rings and try to get them over the bottles. If you manage to get even one ring on a bottle, you’ll win a prize of your choice.” I then asked about the cost of the game. The old man replied, “It’s five dollars for ten rings.” My dad handed me the money quickly, and I passed it to the old man, who then gave me a bundle of ten rings. I took a deep breath and threw out my first ring. It missed the bottle completely, landing on the ground with a soft sound. Ring after ring, I missed each attempt. Sweat began to form on my forehead, and my hands trembled. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 With only one ring left, I was very nervous. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I held the prize tightly in my hands, with a huge smile spreading across my face. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： With only one ring left, I was very nervous. Sensing my anxiety, my dad came over and patted my shoulder. “It’s okay, son,” he said gently. “Take a deep breath, focus on your aim, and don’t rush.” He guided me on how to adjust my stance and aim more carefully. Encouraged, I took a deep breath and threw the final ring. To my astonishment, it landed perfectly around the bottle. The old man clapped and handed me a small, colorful prize. I held the prize tightly in my hands, with a huge smile spreading across my face. At that moment, I realized that with perseverance and patience, I could overcome my self-doubt. This experience at the carnival became a turning point, teaching me that I was capable after all, and I was no longer the boy who felt inferior. It was not just about winning a small prize; it was a life-changing moment. Since then, every challenge I encounter becomes an opportunity to prove myself. I approach them with courage and confidence, knowing that I have the power to overcome obstacles, just like I did with that final ring. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者小时候参加各种比赛却屡屡失败，感到沮丧和自卑，后来在父亲的鼓励下参加社区嘉年华的一个扔圈套瓶游戏并最终成功的故事，传达了坚持不懈和耐心可以克服自我怀疑、提升自信心的主题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“只剩下最后一个圈时，我非常紧张。”以及第二段首句内容“我紧紧地把奖品握在手中，脸上洋溢着灿烂的笑容。”可知，第一段可描写作者的爸爸安慰着作者，而作者静下心来，扔出了最后一个圈。 ②由第二段首句内容“我紧紧地把奖品握在手中，脸上洋溢着灿烂的笑容。”可知，第二段可描写作者意识到只要坚持不懈，有耐心，最终会成功。 2.续写线索：手中只剩下最后一个圈，作者非常紧张——作者的爸爸感觉到了作者的紧张，走上前来安慰作者并指导作者如何调准站姿，好好瞄准——作者定下心来，扔出最后一个圈——这一次，这个圈完美地套在了瓶子上——作者得到了一个奖品——作者抓着奖品，非常开心——正是这个奖品让作者有了信心，也明白了坚持和耐心的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on ②克服：overcome/get over ③遇到：encounter/come across 情绪类 ①担忧：anxiety/worry ②惊讶：astonishment/surprise 【点睛】【高分句型1】This experience at the carnival became a turning point, teaching me that I was capable after all, and I was no longer the boy who felt inferior.（运用that引导的宾语从句和who引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Since then, every challenge I encounter becomes an opportunity to prove myself.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 听力1—5 ABBCC 6—10 ABCAB 11—15 ABAAB 16—20 BCCAC 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
