B It was my first year teaching in a special needs classroom, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our annual Special Track and Field Meet. My students had a range of challenges, from mild learning disabilities to severe cerebral palsy (大脑性麻痹). Mark was one with the latter. Having to sit in a motorized wheelchair, he had to fight his spasms (痉挛) just to control his movements. Nevertheless, he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone each morning with a huge smile. His classmates loved him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who excelled at sports. In his heart I knew Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitations of his body, and watching the grace with which they moved on the playing field seemed to fill him with wonder. When track and field day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas placed well in their heats. Mark sat on the sidelines, cheering them on, placing last in his own heat because his wheelchair wouldn’t go fast enough. The final event of the day was the 400-meter race. Everyone was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the entire length of the track. We watched as the sprinters (短跑健将) took off — Mike, Andy and Lucas determined to prove who the best athlete was. But when the exhausted boys reached the finish line they paused and turned to look behind them. At the back of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. His classmates had passed him by and even the slowest walkers were outdistancing him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to cover. Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent thought passed between them. Slowly, they jogged back towards their friend, where they slowly enfolded Mark in a tight circle and kept pace, cheering him on as he had done for them moments before. The progress was slow, but in the end the three star sprinters and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what makes the Special Track and Field Meet, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary. Years later, I’m still cheering them on. 4. Which word can best describe Mark? A. Lonely. B. Strong-minded. C. Unfortunate. D. Unsociable. 5. The underlined part “excelled at” in paragraph 3 means_____ . A. majored in B. showed interest in C. had limitation on D. were skilled in 6. Why did Mike, Andy and Lucas enfold Mark in a tight circle? A. To help Mark win the race. B. To show their spirit as a team. C. To give shouts of encouragement to Mark. D. To answer the enthusiastic cries of the audience. 7. What does the story mainly convey? A. Kindness and diligence. B. Bravery and generosity. C. Selflessness and responsibility. D. Friendship and determination. C Experiments on rats show that mixing energy drinks with alcohol can cause long-term problems with cognitive function, adding to concerns over young adults drinking habits. The study was carried out by a team from the University of Cagliari, and groups of male adolescent rats being given alcohol, energy drinks, or a mixture of both. Various standard experiments were then used to assess cognitive function — including brain scans and behavioral tests — up to 53 days after drinking. These tests revealed that the animals consuming the mixed drinks showed enduring changes in their ability to learn and remember and changes in the hippocampus — a part of the brain responsible for learning and memory. Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm. In particular, it seems that hippocampus plasticity could be affected, damaging the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new information and demands. While the rats on alcohol and energy drinks initially showed a boost in certain brain functions. These benefits didn’t last, and over time and into adulthood there was a decline in brain capability. The results show that alcohol mixed with energy drinks consumption during the preadolescent period produces adaptive hippocampal changes at the electrophysiological and molecular levels, associated with changes in behavior, which are already detectable during adolescence and persist in adulthood. These results still need to be confirmed in human studies, and there are likely differences between sexes due to hormone interactions that weren’t explored in this study. But health concerns over energy drinks are justified. Alcohol has plenty of effects on health, and it’s well-known that mixing the two together in any kind of significant way isn’t the best idea. Overall, the analysis of the whole set of data obtained suggests that alcohol mixed with energy drinks, during adolescence, may have results that are not necessarily the sum of those observed with alcohol or energy drinks alone and permanently affect hippocampal plasticity. 8. How was the study carried out? A. By monitoring rats’ diverse behaviors on the spot. B. By collecting prior data of rats of different kinds. C. By evaluating the cognitive effects on the tested rats. D. By analyzing rats’ responses on different occasions. 9. What does the underlined word “enduring” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Insignificant. B. Effortless. C. Unnoticeable. D. Long-standing. 10. What can we learn from the study? A. Many gender differences in rats have been detected so far. B. The hippocampal and behavioral changes disappeared swiftly. C. Human subjects haven’t been contained in the research process. D. Mixed drinks cause huge damage to rats’ brains in the first place. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Adolescent Rats Experimented, Great Concerns Aroused B. Energy Drinks Added with Alcohol Brain Functions Affected C. Healthy Diet Habits Adopted, Behavioral Patterns Improved D. More Energy Drinks Consumed, More Health Impacts Noted D When talking to babies, humans slow down their speech, raise their pitch (音高) and change the “color” of their voice. This “baby talk”, as people know it, increases the baby’s attention and facilitates language learning. Among animals, mothers often engage in child-directed vocalizations (发声) too, but does this also imply voice changes? A team of scientists that included Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) researchers explored whether child-directed communication in bats resulted in vocalization changes. They focused on a bat called Saccopteryx bilineata, a common Central and South American species with a remarkable vocal skill. During their first three months of life, as S. bilineata pups (幼崽) start experimenting with their “speech”, female and male adult bats respond to them differently. Through sound recordings of their vocal interactions, the research team found that mother bats “babble” as they interact with pups, which could be interpreted as delightful feedback to pups during vocal practice. Much like human “baby talk”, the child-directed vocalizations of adult females presented a different “color” and pitch than the calls directed towards other adult bats. Male bats also communicated with the pups, but in a way that seemed to carry the “vocal signature” of their social group. “Pup isolation calls sound more similar to those of males from the same social group than to those of other males,” said Mirjam Knornschild, STRI research associate. “These results suggest that adult male vocalizations may serve as guidance for the development of group signatures in pup calls.” This is the first time that scientists describe a phenomenon that could resemble “baby talk” among bats, indicating that parent-offspring communication in bats is more complex than previous thought and opening new avenues for further research. “These results show that social feedback is important during vocal development, not only in humans but also in other vocal-learning species like Saccopteryx bilineata,” said Mirjam. “I believe that bats are a very promising species to investigate key shared features of language, such as the vocal learning ability, and that this study will inspire further studies in the biolinguistics field.” 12. What did the scientists aim to discover through their research? A. The vocal range of human voices. B. The influences of “baby talk” on vocalization. C. The best way to attract kids’ attention. D. The reason for bats’ gradual voice changes. 13. Why does a mother bat “babble”? A. Because she does not feel secure. B. Because she wants to teach the pups skills. C. Because she is thrilled to interact with pups. D. Because she has food to feed her pups. 14 What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Bat pup calls have a higher pitch and changeable “color”. B. Bat pup calls sound more similar to those of their moms. C. Bat pup calls are directed by female bats of the same group. D. Bat pup calls are primarily determined by their adult males. 15. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The communication among the bats is more complex than that of humans. B Vocal-learning species like Saccopteryx bilineata have the same language features as humans. C. Bats are a very promising species to investigate,because their vocal learning ability is inspiring. D. Social feedback plays an important role in vocal development in Saccopteryx bilineata. 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。 Wake up early enough and, depending on where you live, you’ll likely hear a pleasant chorus of birds chirping their tiny hearts out. This is instinctual behavior for birds, but why? According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. ___16___ One theory as to why they choose this early time to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like foraging (觅食). ___17___ Another theory argues that birds use the morning vocals to project an image of strength. By singing with passion, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night. ___18___ And the singing would make for an excellent mate. Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also allow birds to transmit a clear tune thanks to the cooler, drier air. Different birds have distinctive voices. ___19___ There used to be a popular theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence, but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday. ___20___ Because birds only have so much energy to sing loudly, singing when they have the best chance of being heard makes sense. For a bird, an early morning session is like having the perfect acoustic environment for their performance. A. They frightened the birds mentally and physically. B. As everyone knows, there is no guarantee in nature. C. Keeping their activity level low, they choose to sing instead. D. And therefore that clarity helps them to be more easily identified by others. E. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent. F. Birds do it to attract mates and warn other birds to avoid their area. G. Hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our emotional state. 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) Kanye West is a pop star with record sales of over 140 million and 21 Grammy awards.

The whole field burst into thunderous cheers. In the end, Katia Smith from Hillside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 400-meter race! The crowd in the track went wild and Katia’s teammates shouted, “Let’s go celebrate, Katia!” Before going for the celebration, she took off her worn blue track spikes (钉鞋), carefully wiping the dust off the spikes and putting them in a shoe organizer (收纳袋). This was a pair of old spikes and they were bursting at the seams (接缝), but she didn’t care, because they were her lucky shoes and she firmly believed it was the shoes that helped her win the previous races. “Next Saturday, let’s bring home the gold together,” Katia whispered to her spikes, excitedly going celebration with her teammates. Katia and her teammates went to the Perse — the most famous local restaurant. After enjoying the cuisines in the restaurant, they moved on to an amusement park. The party was quickly in full swing, with music and the smell of grilled food filling the air. “Sweet Katia!” One of Katia’s teammates, Gracia, rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” she shouted. “You have to try the slide. Katia’s eyes darted toward the party area.” “Slide? What slide?” Suddenly, she saw it. The BIGGEST inflatable (充气的) slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Without thinking twice, Katia put her shoe organizer on a bench, took off her shoes and ran toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time. She plopped down, hurried to the edge, and closed her eyes as she let go. “Woo-hoo!” Katia couldn’t get enough. She conquered the slide again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she reluctantly made her way back to the bench where she’d left her shoes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As she set her eyes on the bench from a distance, panic set in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Katia nervously approached the starting line wearing her brand-new spikes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 广州外国语学校2025届高三模拟测试卷 英语学科 本试题卷共14页，47小题。考试用时：120分钟 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Science & Life In The Evening!

(然后用各种标准实验来评估饮酒后53天的认知功能，包括脑部扫描和行为测试)”可知，研究是通过测量对被试大鼠的认知影响来进行的，故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm.(由于各种原因，酒精和能量饮料在年轻人中很受欢迎，这项研究的结果是，这些习惯可能会造成一些长期危害)”可知，划线词所在句子表示“这些测试表明，喝了混合饮料的动物在学习和记忆能力以及海马体（大脑中负责学习和记忆的部分）的变化方面表现出持久的变化”，划线词enduring的意思是“持久的”，和long-standing意思相近，故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“These results still need to be confirmed in human studies, and there are likely differences between sexes due to hormone interactions that weren’t explored in this study.(这些结果仍需要在人类研究中得到证实，而且由于激素的相互作用，两性之间可能存在差异，而这项研究并未探索这些差异)” 可知，我们能从这项研究中了解到人类实验对象尚未参与这一过程。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“These tests revealed that the animals consuming the mixed drinks showed enduring changes in their ability to learn and remember and changes in the hippocampus — a part of the brain responsible for learning and memory.(这些测试表明，喝了混合饮料的动物在学习和记忆能力以及海马体（大脑中负责学习和记忆的部分）的变化方面表现出持久的变化)”和第四段“Alcohol and energy drinks are popular with young people for various reasons, and the effects from this study are that these habits could cause some long-term harm. In particular, it seems that hippocampus plasticity could be affected, damaging the brain’s ability to adapt and change in response to new information and demands.(由于各种原因，酒精和能量饮料在年轻人中很受欢迎，这项研究的结果是，这些习惯可能会造成一些长期危害。特别是，海马体的可塑性似乎会受到影响，损害大脑适应和改变新信息和需求的能力)”可知，本文主要讲的是一项关于将能量饮料与酒精混合饮用对青春期大鼠认知能力长期影响的研究，研究发现，这种混合饮品会导致大鼠在学习和记忆能力方面出现持久性改变，特别是影响海马体的可塑性，进而损害大脑适应新信息和需求的能力，因此最好的题目是B选项”混合酒精的能量饮料影响大脑功能”，故选B。 D When talking to babies, humans slow down their speech, raise their pitch (音高) and change the “color” of their voice. This “baby talk”, as people know it, increases the baby’s attention and facilitates language learning. Among animals, mothers often engage in child-directed vocalizations (发声) too, but does this also imply voice changes? A team of scientists that included Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) researchers explored whether child-directed communication in bats resulted in vocalization changes. They focused on a bat called Saccopteryx bilineata, a common Central and South American species with a remarkable vocal skill. During their first three months of life, as S. bilineata pups (幼崽) start experimenting with their “speech”, female and male adult bats respond to them differently. Through sound recordings of their vocal interactions, the research team found that mother bats “babble” as they interact with pups, which could be interpreted as delightful feedback to pups during vocal practice. Much like human “baby talk”, the child-directed vocalizations of adult females presented a different “color” and pitch than the calls directed towards other adult bats. Male bats also communicated with the pups, but in a way that seemed to carry the “vocal signature” of their social group. “Pup isolation calls sound more similar to those of males from the same social group than to those of other males,” said Mirjam Knornschild, STRI research associate. “These results suggest that adult male vocalizations may serve as guidance for the development of group signatures in pup calls.” This is the first time that scientists describe a phenomenon that could resemble “baby talk” among bats, indicating that parent-offspring communication in bats is more complex than previous thought and opening new avenues for further research. “These results show that social feedback is important during vocal development, not only in humans but also in other vocal-learning species like Saccopteryx bilineata,” said Mirjam. “I believe that bats are a very promising species to investigate key shared features of language, such as the vocal learning ability, and that this study will inspire further studies in the biolinguistics field.” 12. What did the scientists aim to discover through their research? A. The vocal range of human voices. B. The influences of “baby talk” on vocalization. C. The best way to attract kids’ attention. D. The reason for bats’ gradual voice changes. 13. Why does a mother bat “babble”? A. Because she does not feel secure. B. Because she wants to teach the pups skills. C. Because she is thrilled to interact with pups. D. Because she has food to feed her pups. 14. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Bat pup calls have a higher pitch and changeable “color”. B. Bat pup calls sound more similar to those of their moms. C Bat pup calls are directed by female bats of the same group. D. Bat pup calls are primarily determined by their adult males. 15. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A. The communication among the bats is more complex than that of humans. B. Vocal-learning species like Saccopteryx bilineata have the same language features as humans. C. Bats are a very promising species to investigate,because their vocal learning ability is inspiring. D. Social feedback plays an important role in vocal development in Saccopteryx bilineata. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。人类在同婴幼儿进行交流的时候，常使用baby talk这种方式。研究人员在对中南美洲的一种蝙蝠进行研究时，也有了同样的发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A team of scientists that included Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) researchers explored whether child-directed communication in bats resulted in vocalization changes.(包括史密森尼热带研究所（STRI）研究人员在内的一组科学家探索了蝙蝠以儿童为导向的交流是否会导致发声变化)”可知，研究人员的目的是发现baby talk是否会导致蝙蝠群体的发声变化，即发现baby talk对发声的影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Through sound recordings of their vocal interactions, the research team found that mother bats “babble” as they interact with pups, which could be interpreted as delightful feedback to pups during vocal practice.(通过对它们的声音互动的录音，研究小组发现，母蝙蝠在与幼崽互动时“咿呀学语”，这可以被解释为在发声练习中对幼崽的愉快反馈)”可知，当蝙蝠妈妈与幼崽互动处于一种高兴愉悦的状态时，会对幼崽“咿呀学语”。故选C。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Male bats also communicated with the pups, but in a way that seemed to carry the “vocal signature” of their social group. “Pup isolation calls sound more similar to those of males from the same social group than to those of other males,” said Mirjam Knornschild, STRI research associate. “These results suggest that adult male vocalizations may serve as guidance for the development of group signatures in pup calls.”(雄性蝙蝠也与幼崽交流，但以一种似乎带有其社会群体“声音签名”的方式。STRI的研究员Mirjam knnornschild说：“小狗的隔离叫声听起来更像来自同一社会群体的雄性，而不是其他雄性。这些结果表明，成年雄性的叫声可以作为幼崽叫声中群体特征发展的指导。”)”可知，雄性蝙蝠的叫声是一个蝙蝠群体中的标志性叫声，并且雄性蝙蝠的这种叫声对蝙蝠幼崽的叫声形成起着指导性作用，即幼崽的声音主要由成年雄性蝙蝠决定。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“These results show that social feedback is important during vocal development, not only in humans but also in other vocal-learning species like Saccopteryx bilineata(这些结果表明，社会反馈在声音发育过程中很重要，不仅对人类如此，对其他学习声音的物种（如大银线蝠）也是如此)”可知，这些结果表明，社会反馈在发声发育过程中无论是对于人类还是大银线蝠中都很重要。故选D。 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。 Wake up early enough and, depending on where you live, you’ll likely hear a pleasant chorus of birds chirping their tiny hearts out. This is instinctual behavior for birds, but why? According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours. ___16___ One theory as to why they choose this early time to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like foraging (觅食). ___17___ Another theory argues that birds use the morning vocals to project an image of strength. By singing with passion, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night. ___18___ And the singing would make for an excellent mate. Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also allow birds to transmit a clear tune thanks to the cooler, drier air. Different birds have distinctive voices. ___19___ There used to be a popular theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence, but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday. ___20___ Because birds only have so much energy to sing loudly, singing when they have the best chance of being heard makes sense. For a bird, an early morning session is like having the perfect acoustic environment for their performance. A. They frightened the birds mentally and physically. B. As everyone knows, there is no guarantee in nature. C. Keeping their activity level low, they choose to sing instead. D. And therefore that clarity helps them to be more easily identified by others. E. The songs didn’t travel farther, but they were more consistent. F. Birds do it to attract mates and warn other birds to avoid their area. G. Hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our emotional state. 【答案】16. F 17. C 18. B 19. D 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了清晨悦耳的鸟鸣让人心旷神怡，但是一天中的其他时间却很少能听到鸟叫。为什么鸟儿都喜欢在清晨歌唱?来本文中寻找答案吧。 16题详解】 根据上文“According to the Woodland Trust, this early singing is known as the dawn chorus, and it can start as early as 4 a.m. and last for several hours.(根据林地信托基金会的说法，这种早唱被称为黎明合唱，它可以早在凌晨4点开始，持续几个小时)”可知，上文说明鸟鸣的现象，推测本句继续解释鸟儿早起鸣叫的原因。F选项“鸟类这样做是为了吸引配偶，并警告其他鸟类避开它们的区域”符合语境，故选F。 【17题详解】 根据上文“One theory as to why they choose this early time to communicate these important messages is because the low visibility makes it hard to do other bird activities, like foraging (觅食).(有一种理论认为，为什么它们选择在这个早期的时间来传达这些重要的信息，是因为低能见度使得鸟类很难进行其他活动，比如觅食)”可知，前文解释原因：为了吸引配偶，也是为了警告其他鸟不要入侵自己的领地，推测后文表达结果。C选项“为了保持低活动水平，他们选择唱歌”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Another theory argues that birds use the morning vocals to project an image of strength. By singing with passion, they’re letting other birds know they survived the night.(另一种理论认为，鸟类利用清晨的歌声来展现力量的形象。通过充满激情的歌唱，它们让其他鸟类知道它们熬过了夜晚)”以及后文“And the singing would make for an excellent mate.(唱歌会成为一个很好的伴侣)”可知，自然界的动物过着朝不保夕的日子，不一定能看见明天的太阳。此处插入阐述作者的观点。B选项“众所周知，自然界没有保证”符合语境，故选B。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Like a good recording studio, the early morning hours also allow birds to transmit a clear tune thanks to the cooler, drier air. Different birds have distinctive voices.(就像一个好的录音室一样，清晨的空气更凉爽、更干燥，鸟类也可以借此传递清晰的曲调。不同的鸟有不同的声音)”可知，鸟儿的声音各有不同，本句与上文构成因果关系，指出这种清晰度可以让听得见的鸟儿更容易识别出它们的声音。D选项“因此，这种清晰有助于他们更容易被他人识别”符合语境，故选D。 【20题详解】 根据上文“There used to be a popular theory that birds sang so much in the mornings because the sounds could travel greater distances due to less atmospheric turbulence, but it was disproven by researchers at the University of Western Ontario in 2003. They played recordings of sparrows at dawn and midday.(曾经有一种流行的理论认为，鸟儿在早晨歌唱得如此之多，是因为大气湍流较少，声音可以传播得更远，但2003年西安大略大学的研究人员推翻了这一理论。他们在黎明和中午播放麻雀的录音)”可知，西安大略大学的研究人员在2003年所做的实验，还没有呈现出实验结果，所以文末应给出来：麻雀声音并没有传播得更远，只不过黎明时分麻雀的叫声更连贯。E选项“歌曲没有传播得更远，但它们更加一致”符合语境，故选E。 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) Kanye West is a pop star with record sales of over 140 million and 21 Grammy awards.

(运用了现在分词作状语) 第二节(满分25分) 47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The fierce race began, with every runner rushing with all their forces. “Just the last 50 meters and Number 3, Katia Smith, takes the lead.” cried the announcer. The whole field burst into thunderous cheers. In the end, Katia Smith from Hillside Middle School takes first place in the girls’ 400-meter race! The crowd in the track went wild and Katia’s teammates shouted, “Let’s go celebrate, Katia!” Before going for the celebration, she took off her worn blue track spikes (钉鞋), carefully wiping the dust off the spikes and putting them in a shoe organizer (收纳袋). This was a pair of old spikes and they were bursting at the seams (接缝), but she didn’t care, because they were her lucky shoes and she firmly believed it was the shoes that helped her win the previous races. “Next Saturday, let’s bring home the gold together,” Katia whispered to her spikes, excitedly going celebration with her teammates. Katia and her teammates went to the Perse — the most famous local restaurant. After enjoying the cuisines in the restaurant, they moved on to an amusement park. The party was quickly in full swing, with music and the smell of grilled food filling the air. “Sweet Katia!” One of Katia’s teammates, Gracia, rushed toward her, breathless and barefoot. “Come on,” she shouted. “You have to try the slide. Katia’s eyes darted toward the party area.” “Slide? What slide?” Suddenly, she saw it. The BIGGEST inflatable (充气的) slide she had ever seen was on the far side of the park. Without thinking twice, Katia put her shoe organizer on a bench, took off her shoes and ran toward the slide. Its ladder stretched to the sky, but she reached the top in no time. She plopped down, hurried to the edge, and closed her eyes as she let go. “Woo-hoo!” Katia couldn’t get enough. She conquered the slide again and again. When it was finally time to go home, she reluctantly made her way back to the bench where she’d left her shoes. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右; 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: As she set her eyes on the bench from a distance, panic set in. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Katia nervously approached the starting line wearing her brand-new spikes. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 As she set her eyes on the bench from a distance, panic set in. The lucky spikes were not there! Katia picked up the pace, her heart pounding louder the closer she got. When she reached the bench she’d left them, her heart stopped. “My lucky spikes are gone. ” she screeched. Katia’s teammates helped her search every corner of the park. “No lucky spikes. I won’t win the gold.”Katia groaned. Katia had no choice but to get a new pair of spikes for the coming event. The next day, the best track teams in the county gathered at the track for the track-and-field championships. “Next up is the girls’ 400 meters race,” said the announcer.
