B Last Christmas Eve, Devitt Kane and Eric Ramey, two highway maintenance crewmen with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), spotted a large trash bag on the shoulder of U. S. Highway 2 near Leavenworth. Inside were tennis shoes and toys, coming out of the torn gift wrapping. Kane and Ramey brought the bag to headquarters, but nobody had reported the gifts missing. The two made a Facebook post, hoping it would land in front of the right eyes — and Christmas morning was only one sleep away. “I remember being a kid myself,” says Kane, “so it was like, ‘we’ve got to try to get these back to the family.’” Ten hours later, Kane was wrapping up for the day, and still nothing. He told the night crew about the find and that someone might be in touch. Any claims could be checked by the names of the kids on the gift labels, which he purposely had left out of the post. Around 9 p.m., WSDOT’s Madi Voie received a call after crewmen tracked down the owner of lost Christmas gifts. Mary Fenner posted on Facebook that her brother, David Carlile, had lost a bag of kids’ gifts. Voie’s co-workers connected the dots and arranged a meeting. Carlile, unaware the bag had fallen from his truck, spent Christmas Eve trying to replace the gifts before meeting Voie near a ski resort on U. S. 2 at midnight to get them back. “Working holidays and nights is hard. Being away from your family and having to miss out on all that stuff is really tough,” says Voie. “But being able to make someone else’s Christmas better, I felt really rewarded.” 24. What made the WSDOT workers act quickly to find the gift owner? A. Worrying about the gifts getting lost. B. Reading a post about the missing gifts. C. Understanding the gifts’ importance for kids. D. Wishing to unite with family for Christmas. 25. Why did Kane leave out names in the Facebook post? A To avoid public attention. B. To confirm rightful ownership. C. To simplify the checking process. D. To protect the children’s privacy. 26. How did Voie feel after returning the gifts? A. Relieved to finish their task. B. Upset to work on Christmas. C. Excited about making a difference. D. Regretful about missing family time. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Torn Gifts: A Highway Mystery B. Found Gifts: A Winter Adventure C. Christmas Miracle on U. S. Highway 2 D. Christmas Gifts Saved by WSDOT Crew C Indoor vertical (垂直) gardens are gaining popularity among homeowners and restaurants, allowing them to grow microgreens year-round, but new research has identified a major disadvantage: their demands on energy. A study by researchers from the Marche Polytechnic University and University of South Australia shows that while domestic vertical garden systems can provide fresh, local produce under controlled conditions and with zero food miles, they do chew up energy. Artificial lights — essential for plant growth — accounted for over half the energy costs in growing a crop of red lettuce, which is much higher than other farms. The ventilation (通风) and irrigation (灌溉) systems also use a lot of energy, consuming 18% and 9% of the total power costs. Lead author Dr. Gianluca Brunetti says the findings highlight opportunities to improve the technology used in domestic indoor vertical gardens to overcome energy inefficiencies. “Indoor vertical farming has significant potential to contribute to urban agriculture by growing crops year-round in small spaces,” Dr. Brunetti says. “However, energy consumption, particularly from artificial lighting and ventilation systems, must be carefully managed to ensure these systems are not only viable but also sustainable in the long term.” The researchers say that while indoor vertical gardens are still in the early stages, they anticipate the market will grow greatly over the next decade, in line with a move towards more sustainable cities. Vertical farming is seen as a potentially resource-efficient technology that can save water, nutrients, labor and space. It could also produce crops out of season and protect them from pests. Like any rapid innovation, it does come with problems which manufacturers keep secret, while overstating the benefits, the researchers say. Co-author UniSA Professor Enzo Lombi says switching to LED lighting, enhancing ventilation efficiency, and improving the design of devices could significantly reduce energy consumption. The study also proposes the adoption of energy labeling, similar to that used for other household devices, to help consumers make informed decisions about the sustainability of these devices. 28. What is the main problem of indoor vertical gardens? A. High initial capital costs. B. Inefficient irrigation systems. C. Limited availability of crops. D. High energy consumption rates. 29. What does the underlined word “viable” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Popular. B. Necessary. C. Similar. D. Workable. 30. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to vertical farming? A. Critical. B. Uncertain. C. Objective. D. Conservative. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Energy-saving measures. B. LED lighting benefits. C. Energy labeling for consumers. D. Design improvement for devices. D The more smart devices such as Amazon Echo that people add to their homes, the less happy they are with the technology, new research shows. The first in-depth research on satisfaction with smart homes found that people were happiest with the devices if they only had a few of them. It also found that older people were just as happy with the devices as younger ones, and that gender and income made no difference to how satisfied people were. Three researchers from Newcastle University Business School in England ran an online survey of 457 people in the United States who used smart home technology, and produced the “surprising finding” that the more devices that were used, the less people intended to use them in the future. Davit Marikyan told the British Academy of Management’s annual conference in Birmingham that: “The possible explanation could be that the first few devices add value to consumers’ life. But they do not want to transform all traditional devices into smart ones, as this may result in difficulties.” He said there was no significant difference in satisfaction with the technology when comparing older and younger users, men and women, people on higher or lower incomes. Those with larger families tended to be less keen to continue to use the technology, but those with large houses were happier to. The research carried out was the first of its kind, he said. “A few studies have discussed the use of smart home technology but none of them have conducted experimental tests to determine whether smart homes deliver the promised benefits and in turn whether users intend to continue using the technology.” “Given the gap in the literature and the practical importance of the promotion of the smart home technology in the market, this study aims to explore the factors that trigger (引发) continuous intention to use this technology.” 32. What does the research find about the use of smart devices? A. Satisfaction depends on age and gender. B. Fewer devices leads to higher satisfaction. C. More smart devices are needed in the future. D. People prefer smart devices over traditional ones. 33. How do people feel about having more smart devices? A. They can add value to customer’s life. B. They might present challenges to life. C. They may not work well with older devices. D. They will bring much difference to life satisfaction. 34. What factor affects the intention to continue using smart devices? A. The size of the family. B. The brand of the devices. C. The age group of users. D. The income level of users. 35. What makes this study unique according to researchers? A. It focuses on older users’ preferences. B. It explores reasons on smart home tech use. C. It is the first study on satisfaction with real data. D. It assesses the market appeal of smart home tech. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be More Optimistic In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining optimism can be challenging.

I was never good at sports, and the 1000-meter run seemed like a mountain I couldn't climb. Each year, I'd watch my classmates run easily, while I'd struggle, out of breath. But this year, Coach Johnson, with his always-positive attitude, had other plans. “Take on the challenge,” he’ d say, his eyes shining with a challenge of their own. “Your potential is just waiting to be shown.” His words were like a small push, encouraging me to try something new. So, with a mix of worry and hope, I agreed to give it a try. Every afternoon, as the sun set, casting long shadows on the track, Coach Johnson was there, his whistle (口哨) clear and loud. He taught me to breathe with my steps, to find a beat that was as much a dance as it was a run. I'd fall, my knees rubbing against the track, but each time, Coach's encouraging nod would have me getting up, my will as strong as the track beneath me. With each passing day, I found my steps becoming longer and my breath more steady. Coach Johnson's guidance was like a lighthouse, guiding me through the fog of self-doubt. He noticed every small improvement, celebrating the moments when I finished a round without pause or when my breath fell into a steady pattern with my movements. During moments when I felt close to giving up, Coach would share stories of athletes who had beaten big challenges, their stories creating a strong and colorful cloth of strong spirit that I could get power from. As the end of the training period neared, I found myself looking forward to the race. The once-distant finish line now seemed within reach. I was ready to face the run, not just to prove it to others, but to prove it to myself that I had the strength to overcome my fears. 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。 The day of the 1000-meter run finally came. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In Coach Johnson's office, I shared my joy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 高考模拟调研卷英语(三) 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，请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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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?

This wasn’t a typical choice for me, as no one in my family had ever gone to college before. My only idea of what college was like came from movies. Once I got to college, I spent too much time having fun and not enough time in class. By the end of my second year, my major professor told me I wouldn’t graduate unless I made some big changes. It was only when I joined a graduate program focused on conservation ecology that I felt like I was on the right track. My work in conservation has given me happiness, thrill and adventure. I’ve conducted research in the faraway mountains of California, had meals with influential politicians and even encountered snakes in Africa. But most importantly, it’s given me a cause greater than myself to stand up for. Looking back, I feel lucky to have chosen college, especially science, which has helped me find myself and achieve freedom. I believe you all can achieve the same. 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和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Each Annual Art Festival is a special yearly event that celebrates the creativity of our community.

S. Highway 2 near Leavenworth. Inside were tennis shoes and toys, coming out of the torn gift wrapping. Kane and Ramey brought the bag to headquarters, but nobody had reported the gifts missing. The two made a Facebook post, hoping it would land in front of the right eyes — and Christmas morning was only one sleep away. “I remember being a kid myself,” says Kane, “so it was like, ‘we’ve got to try to get these back to the family.’” Ten hours later, Kane was wrapping up for the day, and still nothing. He told the night crew about the find and that someone might be in touch. Any claims could be checked by the names of the kids on the gift labels, which he purposely had left out of the post. Around 9 p.m., WSDOT’s Madi Voie received a call after crewmen tracked down the owner of lost Christmas gifts. Mary Fenner posted on Facebook that her brother, David Carlile, had lost a bag of kids’ gifts. Voie’s co-workers connected the dots and arranged a meeting. Carlile, unaware the bag had fallen from his truck, spent Christmas Eve trying to replace the gifts before meeting Voie near a ski resort on U. S. 2 at midnight to get them back. “Working holidays and nights is hard. Being away from your family and having to miss out on all that stuff is really tough,” says Voie. “But being able to make someone else’s Christmas better, I felt really rewarded.” 24. What made the WSDOT workers act quickly to find the gift owner? A. Worrying about the gifts getting lost. B. Reading a post about the missing gifts. C. Understanding the gifts’ importance for kids. D. Wishing to unite with family for Christmas. 25. Why did Kane leave out names in the Facebook post? A. To avoid public attention. B. To confirm rightful ownership. C. To simplify the checking process. D. To protect the children’s privacy. 26. How did Voie feel after returning the gifts? A. Relieved to finish their task. B. Upset to work on Christmas. C. Excited about making a difference. D. Regretful about missing family time. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Torn Gifts: A Highway Mystery B. Found Gifts: A Winter Adventure C. Christmas Miracle on U. S. Highway 2 D. Christmas Gifts Saved by WSDOT Crew 【答案】24. C 25. B 26. C 27.

Any claims could be checked by the names of the kids on the gift labels, which he purposely had left out of the post. (他告诉夜班工作人员这个发现，并且可能会有人联系。任何认领都可以通过礼物标签上孩子们的名字来核实，他特意在帖子中没有提及这些名字)”可知，凯恩在脸书上发帖时故意没有提及礼物标签上孩子们的名字，是为了通过这些名字来确认礼物真正的主人，当有人来认领时可以进行核对，即为了确认合法的所有权。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Working holidays and nights is hard. Being away from your family and having to miss out on all that stuff is really tough,” says Voie. “But being able to make someone else’ s Christmas better, I felt really rewarded.” (沃伊说：“在假期和晚上工作很辛苦。离开家人，不得不错过所有这些事情真的很难。但能够让别人的圣诞节过得更好，我真的觉得很有成就感。”)”可推知，沃伊在归还礼物后对自己能够产生积极影响感到兴奋。故选C。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段的“Last Christmas Eve, Devitt Kane and Eric Ramey, two highway maintenance crewmen with the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT), spotted a large trash bag on the shoulder of U. S. Highway 2 near Leavenworth. Inside were tennis shoes and toys, coming out of the torn gift wrapping. (去年圣诞节前夕，华盛顿州交通部的两名公路养护工人德维特・凯恩和埃里克・雷米，在莱文沃思附近的美国2号公路路肩上发现了一个大垃圾袋。垃圾袋里装着网球鞋和玩具，这些东西从破损的礼品包装中露了出来)”以及全文可知，本文主要讲述了华盛顿州交通部的工作人员凯恩和雷米发现了一袋丢失的圣诞礼物，他们通过脸书等方式努力寻找礼物的主人，最终在平安夜将礼物归还给了失主，让别人的圣诞节变得更好的故事。D选项“Christmas Gifts Saved by WSDOT Crew (WSDOT工作人员拯救的圣诞礼物)”符合文章主旨，最适合作为文章的标题。故选D。 C Indoor vertical (垂直的) gardens are gaining popularity among homeowners and restaurants, allowing them to grow microgreens year-round, but new research has identified a major disadvantage: their demands on energy. A study by researchers from the Marche Polytechnic University and University of South Australia shows that while domestic vertical garden systems can provide fresh, local produce under controlled conditions and with zero food miles, they do chew up energy. Artificial lights — essential for plant growth — accounted for over half the energy costs in growing a crop of red lettuce, which is much higher than other farms. The ventilation (通风) and irrigation (灌溉) systems also use a lot of energy, consuming 18% and 9% of the total power costs. Lead author Dr. Gianluca Brunetti says the findings highlight opportunities to improve the technology used in domestic indoor vertical gardens to overcome energy inefficiencies. “Indoor vertical farming has significant potential to contribute to urban agriculture by growing crops year-round in small spaces,” Dr. Brunetti says. “However, energy consumption, particularly from artificial lighting and ventilation systems, must be carefully managed to ensure these systems are not only viable but also sustainable in the long term.” The researchers say that while indoor vertical gardens are still in the early stages, they anticipate the market will grow greatly over the next decade, in line with a move towards more sustainable cities. Vertical farming is seen as a potentially resource-efficient technology that can save water, nutrients, labor and space. It could also produce crops out of season and protect them from pests. Like any rapid innovation, it does come with problems which manufacturers keep secret, while overstating the benefits, the researchers say. Co-author UniSA Professor Enzo Lombi says switching to LED lighting, enhancing ventilation efficiency, and improving the design of devices could significantly reduce energy consumption. The study also proposes the adoption of energy labeling, similar to that used for other household devices, to help consumers make informed decisions about the sustainability of these devices. 28. What is the main problem of indoor vertical gardens? A. High initial capital costs. B. Inefficient irrigation systems. C. Limited availability of crops. D. High energy consumption rates. 29. What does the underlined word “viable” in paragraph 5 mean? A. Popular. B. Necessary. C. Similar. D. Workable. 30. Which word best describes the author’s attitude to vertical farming? A. Critical. B. Uncertain. C. Objective. D. Conservative. 31. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Energy-saving measures. B. LED lighting benefits. C. Energy labeling for consumers. D. Design improvement for devices. 【答案】28. D 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章主要介绍了室内垂直花园的主要缺点：能源需求高，最后介绍了一些节能措施。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“but new research has identified a major disadvantage: their demands on energy.(但新的研究发现了一个主要缺点：它们对能源的需求)”可知，室内垂直花园的主要问题是它的高能耗率，故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词前“energy consumption, particularly from artificial lighting and ventilation systems, must be carefully managed(能源消耗，特别是来自人工照明和通风系统的能源消耗，必须仔细处理)”以及和划线词并列的形容词“sustainable in the long term(长期可持续)”可知，处理好能源消耗问题后室内垂直农业就变得可行且长期可持续，viable意为“可行的”，故选D。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Vertical farming is seen as a potentially resource-efficient technology that can save water, nutrients, labor and space. It could also produce crops out of season and protect them from pests. Like any rapid innovation, it does come with problems which manufacturers keep secret, while overstating the benefits, the researchers say.(垂直农业被视为一种潜在的资源高效技术，可以节约水、养分、劳动力和空间。它还可以生产反季节作物，并保护它们免受害虫的侵害。研究人员说，像任何快速的创新一样，它也存在一些问题，制造商在夸大好处的同时却对这些问题保密)”可知，作者描述了垂直农业的优缺点，故作者的态度是客观的，故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Co-author UniSA Professor Enzo Lombi says switching to LED lighting, enhancing ventilation efficiency, and improving the design of devices could significantly reduce energy consumption. The study also proposes the adoption of energy labeling, similar to that used for other household devices, to help consumers make informed decisions about the sustainability of these devices.(研究报告的合著者之一、南萨大学的Enzo Lombi教授说，改用LED照明、提高通风效率、改进设备设计可以显著降低能耗。该研究还建议采用类似于其他家用设备的能源标签，以帮助消费者对这些设备的可持续性做出明智的决定)”可知，本段主要介绍了一些节能措施，故选A。 D The more smart devices such as Amazon Echo that people add to their homes, the less happy they are with the technology, new research shows. The first in-depth research on satisfaction with smart homes found that people were happiest with the devices if they only had a few of them. It also found that older people were just as happy with the devices as younger ones, and that gender and income made no difference to how satisfied people were. Three researchers from Newcastle University Business School in England ran an online survey of 457 people in the United States who used smart home technology, and produced the “surprising finding” that the more devices that were used, the less people intended to use them in the future. Davit Marikyan told the British Academy of Management’s annual conference in Birmingham that: “The possible explanation could be that the first few devices add value to consumers’ life. But they do not want to transform all traditional devices into smart ones, as this may result in difficulties.” He said there was no significant difference in satisfaction with the technology when comparing older and younger users, men and women, people on higher or lower incomes. Those with larger families tended to be less keen to continue to use the technology, but those with large houses were happier to. The research carried out was the first of its kind, he said. “A few studies have discussed the use of smart home technology but none of them have conducted experimental tests to determine whether smart homes deliver the promised benefits and in turn whether users intend to continue using the technology.” “Given the gap in the literature and the practical importance of the promotion of the smart home technology in the market, this study aims to explore the factors that trigger (引发) continuous intention to use this technology.” 32. What does the research find about the use of smart devices? A. Satisfaction depends on age and gender. B. Fewer devices leads to higher satisfaction. C. More smart devices are needed in the future. D. People prefer smart devices over traditional ones. 33. How do people feel about having more smart devices? A. They can add value to customer’s life. B. They might present challenges to life. C. They may not work well with older devices. D. They will bring much difference to life satisfaction. 34. What factor affects the intention to continue using smart devices? A. The size of the family. B. The brand of the devices. C. The age group of users. D. The income level of users. 35. What makes this study unique according to researchers? A. It focuses on older users’ preferences. B. It explores reasons on smart home tech use. C. It is the first study on satisfaction with real data. D. It assesses the market appeal of smart home tech. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，人们在家里添置的智能设备越多，他们对这项技术的满意度就越低。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The first in-depth research on satisfaction with smart homes found that people were happiest with the devices if they only had a few of them.(对智能家居满意度的第一次深入研究发现，如果人们只有几个智能家居设备，他们对这些设备的满意度是最高的)”可知，研究发现，智能设备越少，满意度越高。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The possible explanation could be that the first few devices add value to consumers’ life. But they do not want to transform all traditional devices into smart ones, as this may result in difficulties.(可能的解释是，最初的几款设备为消费者的生活增加了价值。但他们不想把所有传统设备都变成智能设备，因为这可能会带来困难)”可知，人们认为拥有更多的智能设备可能会给生活带来挑战，故选B。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Those with larger families tended to be less keen to continue to use the technology, but those with large houses were happier to.(家庭人口较多的人往往不太愿意继续使用这项技术，但拥有大房子的人更愿意继续使用这项技术)”可知，家庭规模影响继续使用智能设备的意愿，故选A。 【35题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“A few studies have discussed the use of smart home technology but none of them have conducted experimental tests to determine whether smart homes deliver the promised benefits and in turn whether users intend to continue using the technology.(一些研究讨论了智能家居技术的使用，但没有一项研究进行了实验测试，以确定智能家居是否能带来承诺的好处，以及用户是否打算继续使用这项技术)”可知， 研究人员认为这项研究的独特之处在于它是第一个用真实数据对满意度进行测试的研究，故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Be More Optimistic In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining optimism can be challenging.

I was never good at sports, and the 1000-meter run seemed like a mountain I couldn't climb. Each year, I'd watch my classmates run easily, while I'd struggle, out of breath. But this year, Coach Johnson, with his always-positive attitude, had other plans. “Take on the challenge,” he’ d say, his eyes shining with a challenge of their own. “Your potential is just waiting to be shown.” His words were like a small push, encouraging me to try something new. So, with a mix of worry and hope, I agreed to give it a try. Every afternoon, as the sun set, casting long shadows on the track, Coach Johnson was there, his whistle (口哨) clear and loud. He taught me to breathe with my steps, to find a beat that was as much a dance as it was a run. I'd fall, my knees rubbing against the track, but each time, Coach's encouraging nod would have me getting up, my will as strong as the track beneath me. With each passing day, I found my steps becoming longer and my breath more steady. Coach Johnson's guidance was like a lighthouse, guiding me through the fog of self-doubt. He noticed every small improvement, celebrating the moments when I finished a round without pause or when my breath fell into a steady pattern with my movements. During moments when I felt close to giving up, Coach would share stories of athletes who had beaten big challenges, their stories creating a strong and colorful cloth of strong spirit that I could get power from. As the end of the training period neared, I found myself looking forward to the race. The once-distant finish line now seemed within reach. I was ready to face the run, not just to prove it to others, but to prove it to myself that I had the strength to overcome my fears. 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。 The day of the 1000-meter run finally came. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In Coach Johnson's office, I shared my joy. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The day of the 1000-meter run finally came. The track was a ribbon of red, stretching out before me under the bright sun. My heart was a drum in my chest, pounding out a rhythm of fear and hope. As the starting gun went off, I sprang forward, my feet light on the track. The first round flew by, my legs feeling strong, heart light. But the second round got harder, my steps growing labored, breath shortening. Then, Coach’s encouraging nod appeared in my mind, pushing me on. I found my rhythm, my breath matching my steps. The crowd’s roar was a wave, carrying me towards the finish line. I was not just a participant, but a winner. In Coach Johnson’s office, I shared my joy. “I did it, Coach!” I said, my voice shaking with pride I’d never felt. He looked up, his eyes twinkling with a smile. “I knew you could,” he replied, his voice full of happiness that matched mine. I thanked him for his belief in me, for the afternoons spent on the track. This journey taught me that with effort and encouragement, I could overcome my fears. It was a lesson that would stay with me, a lesson in perseverance and self-belief that would guide me through life’s challenges. The sun sparkled on the medal hanging around my neck as I took a deep breath, feeling the cool air fill my lungs. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者在体育日临近时，面对1000米跑的挑战，从最初的担忧和恐惧，到在教练Johnson的鼓励和指导下，逐渐克服困难，最终成功完成比赛并收获喜悦和自信的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“1000 米跑步比赛的日子终于到来了。”可知，第一段可描写比赛当天的场景，作者比赛时的状态，从起初的紧张到比赛过程中遇到困难，再到想起教练的鼓励而坚持，最终完成比赛。 ②由第二段首句内容“在约翰逊教练的办公室里，我分享了我的喜悦。”可知，第二段可描写作者与教练分享成功的喜悦，表达对教练的感谢，以及这次经历给作者带来的感悟。 2.续写线索：比赛日到来——紧张情绪——比赛过程——冲过终点——分享喜悦——感谢教练——深刻教训 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①冲向前方：spring forward / rush ahead / dash forward ②感谢：thank/appreciate ③深呼吸：take a deep breath / inhale deeply / draw a long breath 情绪类 ①快乐：happiness/joy/delight ②自信：self-belief / confidence / assurance 【点睛】【高分句型1】  As the starting gun went off, I sprang forward, my feet light on the track.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】This journey taught me that with effort and encouragement, I could overcome my fears.（运用了that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $该部分分为第一第二两节。做题时请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。请听听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题，你将听到以下内容。Excuse me, can you tell me how much the shirt is?

When I was getting ready to leave here about eight years ago, I chose to go to college. This wasn't a typical choice for me, as no one in my family had ever gone to college before. My only idea of what college was like came from movies. Once I got to college, I spent too much time having fun and not enough time in class. By the end of my second year, my major professor told me I wouldn't graduate unless I made some big changes. IT was only when I joined a graduate program focused on conservation ecology that I felt like guy was on the right track. My work and conservation has given me happiness, thrill and adventure. I've conducted research in the far away mountains of california, had meals with influential politicians and even encountered snakes in africa. But most importantly, it's given me a cause greater than myself to stand up for looking back. I feel lucky to have chosen college, especially science, which has helped me find myself and achieve freedom. I believe you all can achieve the same.
