Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ lane. Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about four kilos (disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese. Fiery Foods Festival — The Hottest Festival on Earth Every year more than 10, 000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction-food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper — officially the hottest pepper in the world—or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure—if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you! La Tomatina — The World’s Biggest Food Fight On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bunol hosts La Tomatina-the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes — official fight-starters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd. The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50, 000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again — and for a much-needed wash! 1. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must ________. A. kick or throw their cheese B. wear various formal clothes C. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 2. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held? A. In China. B. In New Mexico. C. In the Caribbean. D. In Australia. 3. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina. B. More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. C. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine. D. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. B Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together. Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility. Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity. “We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.” Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time. 4. Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special? A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old. C. Because it looked quite different from others. D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates. 5. What can we know about Pat’s family? A. They are anxious to be celebrities. B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges. C. They never stop creating opportunities. D. They support and encourage each other. 6. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Repeat. B. Represent. C. Identify. D. Follow. 7. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story? A. Love me love my dog. B. Passion gives life power. C. A good beginning is half done. D. It’s never too late to learn. C In the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athleticism (运 动 才 能) as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to show the“superhuman” power of athletes. Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. It involves the application of the laws of aerodynamics (空 气 动 力 学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object, such as the Earth. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air—as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微 粒),the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, or resistance, and slows down an object's movement. While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, “to do this, athletes align(调 整)their skis and body nearly parallel(平 行 的)to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack (迎 角) that will also maximize lift.” Because of how the sport works, athletes' equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes. 8. What contributes to lift in ski jumping? A. The force of gravity. B. The upward force of air. C. The interaction between athletes and air particles. D. The interaction between air particles. 9. Which of the following is NOT a technique used by ski jumpers in order to achieve the best performance? A. Keep their bodies parallel to the ground. B. Maximize the angle of attack. C. Keep their skis aligned with the ground. D. Position their skis in a V-shape when they jump. 10. What rule is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping? A. Equipment must match an athlete’s weight and height. B. Athletes must strictly control their weight. C. Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes. D. Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages. 11. What’s the main idea of the article? A. The techniques used by ski jumpers. B. Some rules of the ski jumping competition. C. The scientific principles behind ski jumping. D. How the laws of aerodynamics work in sports. D We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member. It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 12. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________. A. they are not content with their daily life B. they regard social networks important C. they are curious to explore new technologies D. they want to view their children’s online activities 13. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request? A. They can’t choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide. C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so. 14. A recent survey suggested that ________. A. teens value their privacy and independence B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special D. independence is everything teens desire 15. What is most likely to be talked about next? A. How to bridge the generation gap. B. How to make friends on social networks. C. How to explain to parents about the rejection. D. How to use the social networking sites. 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。 Are you constantly saying words like “I am so tired”, “my mind is so exhausted”, “I need to take a break”, and “I am unable to handle the pressure anymore” and so on.

Some of her organs, bones and muscles were out of shape. No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance. In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 Paragraph 1: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 颐华学校2024-2025年度高一第二学期第一次大练习 英 语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

(他们的目的地是每年3月举行三天的火辣辣的食物和烧烤节。你可能会想尝尝巧克力覆盖的哈瓦那辣椒——世界上最辣的辣椒——或者上千种展示的产品中的任何一种)”可知，D选项“在火辣辣的食物和烧烤节上展出了数千种辛辣的食物”正确。故选D。 B Each year people are crazy about different ceremonies. Many graduation ceremonies look special and different. But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond. They both went to the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) and graduated together. Pat took her first college class 42 years ago. After one semester, she dropped out to move to Chattanooga, where she spent the next several decades working as an accountant and raising a family. While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired. She agreed when her granddaughter decided to move to study psychology at UTC after a year at Berea College. They both entered UTC with enough college credits to make graduating together a possibility. Pat and Melody graduated on November 20 as part of UTC’s 2020 class. The achievement has also made Pat somewhat of a celebrity. “We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor. “Together, they personify the determination, commitment and love for lifelong learning we encourage in every UTC graduate.” Pat hopes that she can be an example to other non-traditional college students who want to get their degrees. “Learning never stops,” Pat said. “That’s something that my father taught me when I was young. No matter what you do, learning never stops.” Pat isn’t planning to stop anytime soon. She’s already working on another degree-a bachelor’s degree in history. Meanwhile, her granddaughter, who is hunting jobs, is interested in getting a master’s degree in clinical psychology so she can become a lawyer. But she says she’s in no rush. Her nanna has taught her that she has plenty of time. 4 Why was Melody’s graduation ceremony so special? A. Because her grandmother graduated alongside her. B. Because her grandmother was 75 years old. C. Because it looked quite different from others. D. Because she celebrated it with all her classmates. 5. What can we know about Pat’s family? A. They are anxious to be celebrities. B. They prefer attending non-traditional colleges. C. They never stop creating opportunities. D. They support and encourage each other. 6. What does the underlined word “personify” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Repeat. B. Represent. C. Identify. D. Follow. 7. Which of the following can best describe Pat Ormond’s story? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Passion gives life power. C. A good beginning is half done. D. It’s never too late to learn. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了75岁的帕特·奥蒙德在退休后继续攻读学位，并得到家人支持的故事，体现了她终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond.(但对梅洛迪来说，它看起来是如此独特，因为和她一起毕业的同学——她75岁的祖母帕特·奥蒙德。)”可知，梅洛迪的毕业典礼很特别因为她祖母和她一起毕业。故选A。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“While she did take an occasional class at UTC, she says her family continued to encourage her to go back to finish her degree, especially after she retired.( 虽然她偶尔会在UTC上一门课，但她说，她的家人继续鼓励她回去完成学位，特别是在她退休后。)”可推知，Pat的家人互相支持和鼓励。故选D。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“But for Melody, it looked so unique because of the classmate who graduated alongside her — her grandmother, 75-year-old Pat Ormond.( 但对梅洛迪来说，它看起来是如此独特，因为和她一起毕业的同学——她75岁的祖母帕特·奥蒙德。)”和上文““We are so proud to have graduates like Melody and her grandmother, Pat Ormond, in the UTC class of 2020,” said Steven, UTC Chancellor.( UTC校长史蒂文说:“我们很自豪能有像梅洛迪和她的祖母帕特·奥蒙德这样的2020届UTC毕业生。”)”可知，此处表示“他们共同体现了我们鼓励每一位UTC毕业生终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。” Personify意为“体现了”。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章讲述了75岁的帕特·奥蒙德在退休后继续攻读学位，并得到家人支持的故事，体现了她终身学习的决心、承诺和爱。由此可知，D项：It’s never too late to learn.(活到老，学到老。)符合故事的主旨。故选D。 C In the Beijing Winter Olympics, we were treated to incredible displays of athleticism (运 动 才 能) as competitors took to the snow and ice. As a popular sport at the Winter Olympics, ski jumping is one of the best examples to show the“superhuman” power of athletes. Ski jumpers soar into the air and appear to be almost flying in the sky. How do they achieve this? Physics can offer us an explanation of how they achieve this goal. It involves the application of the laws of aerodynamics (空 气 动 力 学) to fight against gravity and increase lift while reducing drag. To understand how ski jumping works, we need to consider three elements: gravity, lift and drag. Gravity is the force that pulls us towards an object, such as the Earth. Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air—as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微 粒),the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up. At the same time, this interaction creates drag, or resistance, and slows down an object's movement. While there is nothing that the skiers can do about gravity, they can twist their bodies into positions that allow them to achieve greater lift and avoid as much drag as possible. According to the Smithsonian Magazine, “to do this, athletes align(调 整)their skis and body nearly parallel(平 行 的)to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack (迎 角) that will also maximize lift.” Because of how the sport works, athletes' equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages. This means suits must be tight in order to ensure athletes cannot use them as a way to gain more lift. For athletes, minor day-to-day water weight changes as little as 300 grams. It can mean that suits will not be tight enough according to their body mass indexes. 8. What contributes to lift in ski jumping? A. The force of gravity. B. The upward force of air. C. The interaction between athletes and air particles. D. The interaction between air particles. 9. Which of the following is NOT a technique used by ski jumpers in order to achieve the best performance? A. Keep their bodies parallel to the ground. B. Maximize the angle of attack. C. Keep their skis aligned with the ground. D. Position their skis in a V-shape when they jump. 10. What rule is adopted to ensure fair play in ski jumping? A. Equipment must match an athlete’s weight and height. B. Athletes must strictly control their weight. C. Athletes are grouped according to their body mass indexes. D. Standardized equipment is used to avoid unfair advantages. 11. What’s the main idea of the article? A. The techniques used by ski jumpers. B. Some rules of the ski jumping competition. C. The scientific principles behind ski jumping. D. How the laws of aerodynamics work in sports. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章借助北京冬奥会，从物理原理、运动员技巧、比赛规则等方面，剖析跳台滑雪这一运动项目。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中第三段“Lift occurs when an object is moving through the air — as its surface comes into contact with air particles (微粒),the particles are pushed down and away from the object, allowing it to move up.(当一个物体在空气中移动时，升力就会产生 —— 当它的表面与空气微粒接触时，微粒被向下推并远离物体，从而使物体向上移动)”可知，运动员（物体）与空气微粒之间的相互作用产生了升力。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中倒数第三段“According to the Smithsonian Magazine, ‘to do this, athletes align (调整) their skis and body nearly parallel (平行的) to the ground and place their skis in a V-shape just outside the form of the body. This position increases the surface area that generates lift and puts them in the ideal angle of attack (迎角) that will also maximize lift.’(据《史密森尼杂志》报道，‘要做到这一点，运动员将他们的滑雪板和身体调整到几乎与地面平行，并将滑雪板呈V字形放置在身体外侧。这个姿势增加了产生升力的表面积，并使他们处于理想的迎角，这也将使升力最大化。’)”可知，跳台滑雪运动员为了达到最佳表现而使用的技巧是处于理想迎角，而不是最大化迎角。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文中倒数第二段“Because of how the sport works, athletes' equipment is strictly controlled according to weight and height in order to avoid any unfair advantages.(由于这项运动的运作方式，运动员的装备根据体重和身高受到严格控制，以避免任何不公平的优势)”可知，为了确保公平竞争，运动员的装备必须与他们的体重和身高相匹配。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章开篇提到跳台滑雪是展示运动员“超人”力量的最佳例子之一，接着从空气动力学的角度，介绍了跳台滑雪背后涉及的重力、升力和阻力这三个要素，以及运动员为了达到最佳表现所采用的技巧和为保证公平竞争的规则，整体都是在阐述跳台滑雪背后的科学原理。由此可知，C项The scientific principles behind ski jumping(跳台滑雪背后的科学原理)符合文意。故选C项。 D We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends in the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become virtual extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with the latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day-to-day lives as they always had because they had no need to be tech-savvy. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites. These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member. It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 12. Many parents teach themselves social networks because ________. A. they are not content with their daily life B. they regard social networks important C. they are curious to explore new technologies D. they want to view their children’s online activities 13. What might be the reason for teens to reject their parents’ request? A. They can’t choose friends around them. B. They have nothing to hide. C. They don’t want to teach their parents. D. Their privacy can not be guaranteed if so. 14. A recent survey suggested that ________. A. teens value their privacy and independence B. a teen’s rejection means they have something to hide C. a teen’s rejection means nothing special D. independence is everything teens desire 15. What is most likely to be talked about next? A. How to bridge the generation gap. B. How to make friends on social networks. C. How to explain to parents about the rejection. D. How to use the social networking sites. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。现在很多父母进入社交网站，希望加孩子为好友，针对这一要求作者告诉了一些观点。 孩子往往拒绝这一要求，因为他们不想自己的一举一动被父母注视，他们想独立。同时作者也嘱咐孩子如果不加父母好友也要和父母多交谈。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.(然而，越来越多的父母开始意识到社交网络在他们生活中的重要性。这种认识使许多父母有动力自学社交网站)”可知，许多家长自学社交网络，因为他们认为社交网络很重要。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member.(如今，许多人被社交网站所吸引，因为他们可以选择身边的人；我们还可以在一定程度上控制我们在现实生活中得不到的隐私。有时，当我们必须接受来自父母或家庭成员的“好友”请求时，我们会觉得隐私受到了侵犯)”可知，青少年拒绝父母请求的原因是他们的隐私就不能得到保障。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request: “ When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to exert their independence.”(最近的一项调查表明，如果他们的孩子无视他们的请求，父母不应该把它放在心上。“当青少年无视父母的朋友请求时，不一定意味着他们在隐瞒什么，但可能意味着这是他们生活中的一个部分，他们想发挥自己的独立性。”)”可推知，最近的一项调查表明，青少年重视他们的隐私和独立。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow when you do choose not to add them to your friends list.(也许当你选择不把父母列入好友名单时，与他们交谈并给出解释会有助于减轻他们受到的打击)”可推知，接下来最有可能讨论的话题是如何向父母解释被拒绝的原因。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。 Are you constantly saying words like “I am so tired”, “my mind is so exhausted”, “I need to take a break”, and “I am unable to handle the pressure anymore” and so on.

No one expected her to survive. She did make it but with her strange body figure, everyone could recognize her, even from a distance. In Emily White’s hometown, there was a yearly outdoor performance in the school auditorium (大礼堂). It had been performed for so many years and actually had become one of the most important events of the Christmas season for many of the town’s people. Many people tried out each year for it, but so many were turned away. It can only include the most excellent people in the field. Emily had a beautiful singing voice. Last year she went to Mrs. Owens — her music teacher to ask to join in the performance. Without letting her sing, Mrs. Owens took a look at Amy’s body and said, “Child, you just don’t fit. Everyone would stare at you and that would make you uncomfortable. It would make them uncomfortable, too.” Without singing a single note, Emily was sent back through the door of the choral room. Hurt and upset, she decided never to try out again. But Mrs. Owens then retired. This year, there came a new music teacher, Mr. Buttler. He heard about Emily and suggested that she have a try. Emily didn’t want to be rejected again, so she hesitated a little about it. As Emily struggled, the door was pushed open and Mr. Buttler called, “Emily, you’re next.” Although kind of nervous, Emily did as Mr. Buttler told her to do. Mr. Buttler sat by the piano to keep Emily company. When Emily finished her testing performance, she thanked Mr. Buttler and knew the result would be posted on the door of the choral room the next day. Emily couldn’t sleep that night. She was suffering from the feelings that she didn’t fit and the great need to be accepted. By the next morning, her stomach was even in pain because of stress. 注意：续写词数应为150左右 Paragraph 1: The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Finally, the day of performance came. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The next day, Emily nervously glanced at the list on the door of the choral room. She was not rejected this time. Her name was posted at the top of the list. She, Emily White, was chosen to be the leading singer! She would sing alone in the performance. Emily couldn’t believe her eyes. There must be some mistake. But Mr. Buttler said to her with determined eyes, “Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part-your voice is unusual. Believe in yourself.” Greatly encouraged, Emily practiced really hard. Finally, the day of performance came. Standing in front of the line, Emily felt her throat tight and her palms sweating. When the curtain opened up, the eyes of the whole audience fell upon Emily. “Emily White!” Someone whispered. Then, along with the first note of music, Emily began to sing her heart out. Her voice was like a nightingale ringing in the auditorium. Applause! Emily felt so happy and comfortable. She was shining on the stage. Emily White, with so many birth problems in her body, was an angel! 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Emily17年前出生时身体就有很多问题。她的一些器官、骨骼和肌肉变形了，好在Emily有一副美丽的歌喉。但去年，她去找她的音乐老师要求参加演出选拔，却被无情拒绝，今年来了一位新的音乐老师，他听说了Emily的事，给予她一次展示自己的机会，她很感激，但想到次日公布的选拔结果她感到很紧张。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，Emily紧张地看了看合唱教室门上的名单。”可知，第一段可描写她通过了选拔以及老师对她的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“终于，演出的日子到了。”可知，第二段可描写Emily演唱出色，观众为她鼓掌。 2.续写线索：Emily被选中——不敢相信自己的眼睛——Mr. Buttler鼓励Emily——Emily努力练习——紧张——唱得很好——观众鼓掌——Emily高兴 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①选择：choose/select ②鼓励：encourage/inspire ③开始唱：begin to sing/start to sing 情绪类 ①坚定的：determined/unswerving ②高兴的：happy/delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1] Emily, I choose you because you should perform the part-your voice is unusual.
