My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1?
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine.
C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
5. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______.
A. a plus. B. a leisure. C. a distraction. D. a burden.
6. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her?
A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training.
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way.
C
Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago.
Today, I often wonder: Am I a story that's constantly being written? people have debated this for a long time, with ancient Greeks arguing whether a thing's true essence lies in its unchanging nature or its ongoing development.
Plato believed that natural science focuses on the changing physical world while philosophy, using intelligence and reason, explored the change less eternal (永恒). For instance, veterinary science studies growing dogs, but philosophers question the idea of “Dog” itself.
Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being.
So, which is your view, and how does that guide the way you live? None of this is to say the choice between Platonism and Aristotelianism is absolute. We all have some unchanging characteristics, and we also change in many ways. The philosophical perspective you adopt will depend on how you principally define yourself and what you choose to pay attention to as you move through the world.
Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian? It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today’s culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. This can make you a repeat customer and give you a sense of belonging. But it might also keep you in situations you don't like. Being more like an Aristotelian can set you free.
8. What did the author tell us about our cells in Paragraph 1?
A. The unchanging nature of our souls.
B. The ongoing transformation of our bodies.
C. The belief that our science and nature do not change.
D. The idea that we are the same person through our lives.
9. According to Aristotle, what is the focus of understanding a dog?
A. Its unchanging nature. B. Its determined essence.
C. Its stable identity. D. Its continuous development.
10. How does modem culture tend to influence personal identity according to the text?
A. By pushing people to de fin c themselves into fix cd identities.
B. By suggesting that personal identity will be a mystery forever.
C By encouraging individuals to accept constant change and growth.
D. By promoting that individual identity is deter min cd by belongings.
11. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Plate v. s. Aristotle: the Battle of Ideas.
B. The Philosophical Outlook: A Defined Personality.
C. Becoming v. s. Being: Viewpoint on Personal Identity.
D. The Unchanging Universe: A Philosophical Dilemma.
D
It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid? Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body.
At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经) — the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind.
The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body’s responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body’s powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate.
The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (疗法) worldwide. However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve — is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.
The vagus nerve doesn’t need to be a cure for everything — its worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.”
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By sharing a story. B. By creating a scene.
C. By asking a question. D. By defining a concept.
13. What does the underlined word “conduit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Channel. B. Product. C. Mirror. D. Nature.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of a biological treatment. B. The effectiveness of breathing exercises.
C. The misuse of unproven nerve therapies. D. The evidence of vagus nerve’s functions.
15. What do Linda Rinaman’s words imply?
A. Blood circulation determines our emotions. B. Physical health is unrelated to mental states.
C. Body and mind interact to form experiences. D. Our brain stores feelings separate from body.

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。
Do you ever feel as though your parents fail to truly listen to you? When you talk to them, they may give the impression that they’re taking in what you say. ___16___ This is one challenge you encounter.

You might start questioning whether your parents truly understand what they’re discussing, which can lead to conflicts.

___20___ Remember, there’s no reason why people should automatically understand all your views. The more you engage in conversations with your parents, the better you’ll feel.

It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the quit neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project, which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a model of a solar-powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.
Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. “I'm really sorry, Alex!” Ax said in a very quiet voice, his head down because he felt guilty. “I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I didn't mean to break it.”
Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating, even a little bit, made him feel sick.
As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits didn't work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind. By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what he had to do.
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。
Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous.

My fingers trembled as I signed the pre-medical application form. The watercolor brushes on my desk stared back at me like abandoned friends. I’m Lora, an 18-year-old who secretly drew brain diagrams on napkins while classmates drew cartoons. “Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.
Then came the school career fair that changed everything. Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations. My lab partner whispered, “Remember our photosynthesis (光合作用) comic?” For the first time, my two worlds didn’t feel so separate.
The real surprise came during hospital volunteering. Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said. Slowly, my drawing pads filled with cells that looked like colored-glass art and X-rays arranged like abstract paintings.
Mr. Dawson, our career counselor, helped connect these dots. On his whiteboard, my medical knowledge and art skills overlapped in a bright yellow circle labeled “Medical Illustration”. He showed me job listings I never knew existed—graphic designers for science apps, 3D modelers for anatomy (解剖) classes. “Your ‘impractical’ skill makes you stand out,” he said, pointing to my dragon drawing now used in pain management workshops.
Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.
4. What can be inferred about Lora from paragraph 1?
A. She had given up the hobby of drawing. B. She was excited about studying medicine.
C. She felt torn between art and medical study. D. She regretted not practicing painting earlier.
5. Dr. Eleanor thought of Lora’ s “hidden skills” as ______.
A. a plus. B. a leisure. C. a distraction. D. a burden.
6. How did Lora’s hospital experience influence her?
A. It helped develop her surgical skills. B. It directed her toward doctor training.
C. It boosted her enthusiasm for abstract art. D. It convinced her of art’s role in healthcare.
7. What message does the author want to convey?
A. Follow the beaten track to success. B. A picture is worth a thousand words.
C. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket. D. Two strings to your bow light the way.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了 Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间感到纠结,后来在学校职业招聘会、医院志愿者活动等经历的影响下,发现自己的艺术技能在医疗领域有独特的作用,从而将两者结合起来的故事。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Art feeds the soul but starves the body,” Mom always said. Her words haunted me as my biology textbooks slowly buried my drawing pads.(“艺术滋养灵魂,但会饿肚子”妈妈总是这么说。当我的生物课本慢慢把我的画本掩埋时,她的话萦绕在我心头)” 可知,Lora 在艺术和医学学习之间难以抉择,感到很纠结。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Dr. Eleanor Whitman from Harvard asked us to list our “hidden skills”. My hand shook as I wrote “observing details”—something I’d learned from painting flower petals. “That’s medical research’s most needed skill!” she exclaimed, sharing how a student turned microbiology notes into textbook illustrations.(哈佛大学的埃莉诺·惠特曼博士让我们列出自己的“隐藏技能”。当我写下“观察细节”时,我的手在颤抖——这是我从画花瓣中学到的。“这是医学研究最需要的技能!”她大声说道,并分享了一个学生如何将微生物学笔记变成教科书插图的故事)” 可知,Dr. Eleanor 认为 Lora 的 “隐藏技能” 是一个优势。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Watching surgeries, I noticed something—the steady hands of doctors reminded me of my brushwork. When a boy struggled to describe his pain, I drew a fire-breathing dragon on his cast. “You made medicine speak,” the nurse said.(在观看手术时,我注意到了一些事情 —— 医生稳定的手让我想起了我的绘画技巧。当一个男孩难以描述他的疼痛时,我在他的石膏上画了一条喷火的龙。护士说:“你让医学有了声音”)” 可推知,Lora 在医院的经历让她确信艺术在医疗保健中有作用。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today, my microscope and paintbrushes share the same desk. The same hands that once hesitated between them now create 3D models of viruses for vaccine education. Sometimes I teach young patients to draw their feelings instead of describing them. My story isn’t about heart and reality canceling each other out—they just multiply possibilities.(如今,我的显微镜和画笔共用一张桌子。曾经在它们之间犹豫不决的手,现在为疫苗教育制作病毒的 3D 模型。有时我教年轻的病人画出他们的感受,而不是描述它们。我的故事不是关于内心和现实相互抵消 —— 它们只是增加了可能性)” 可知,文章主要传达了拥有两种技能(艺术和医学知识)可以照亮人生道路,带来更多可能性的信息。所以文章传达了“双管齐下,照亮道路”。故选D。
C
Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago.
Today, I often wonder: Am I a story that's constantly being written? people have debated this for a long time, with ancient Greeks arguing whether a thing's true essence lies in its unchanging nature or its ongoing development.
Plato believed that natural science focuses on the changing physical world, while philosophy, using intelligence and reason, explored the change less eternal (永恒). For instance, veterinary science studies growing dogs, but philosophers question the idea of “Dog” itself.
Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being.
So, which is your view, and how does that guide the way you live? None of this is to say the choice between Platonism and Aristotelianism is absolute. We all have some unchanging characteristics, and we also change in many ways. The philosophical perspective you adopt will depend on how you principally define yourself and what you choose to pay attention to as you move through the world.
Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian? It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today’s culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. This can make you a repeat customer and give you a sense of belonging. But it might also keep you in situations you don't like. Being more like an Aristotelian can set you free.
8. What did the author tell us about our cells in Paragraph 1?
A. The unchanging nature of our souls.
B. The ongoing transformation of our bodies.
C. The belief that our science and nature do not change.
D. The idea that we are the same person through our lives.
9. According to Aristotle, what is the focus of understanding a dog?
A. Its unchanging nature. B. Its determined essence.
C. Its stable identity. D. Its continuous development.
10. How does modem culture tend to influence personal identity, according to the text?
A. By pushing people to de fin c themselves into fix cd identities.
B. By suggesting that personal identity will be a mystery forever.
C. By encouraging individuals to accept constant change and growth.
D. By promoting that individual identity is deter min cd by belongings.
11. Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Plate v. s. Aristotle: the Battle of Ideas.
B. The Philosophical Outlook: A Defined Personality.
C. Becoming v. s. Being: Viewpoint on Personal Identity.
D. The Unchanging Universe: A Philosophical Dilemma.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章探讨关于个人身份的两种不同观点,即柏拉图主义强调不变的本质和固定身份,亚里士多德主义注重持续变化和发展,并分析了这两种观点对人们理解自我和生活方式的影响,同时指出现代文化对个人身份认知的影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Growing up, my older brother, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like how our cells are completely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the concept of constant change in our selves, meaning I'm a physically different person from the one I was years ago. (在成长过程中,我的哥哥是一个科学爱好者,他和我分享了一些有趣的事实,比如我们的细胞每七年就会更新一次。这个想法强调了我们自我不断变化的概念,这意味着我的身体与几年前的我不同。) ”可知,作者提到细胞每七年完全更新一次,强调了我们自身的不断变化,故推断作者想告诉的是我们身体在持续转变。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Aristotle agreed that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in constant change. He believed change is part of the true nature of things and your virtue is about who you're turning into, not a fixed identity. As such, becoming was his focus, rather than some perfect invisible being. (亚里士多德同意科学可以解释我们所看到的,但他认为物质世界是不断变化的。他相信改变是事物本质的一部分,你的美德是关于你要变成什么样的人,而不是一个固定的身份。因此,成为是他关注的焦点,而不是某个完美的无形存在。) ”可知,亚里士多德认为物质宇宙处于不断变化中,变化是事物的本质,他关注的是 “成为”(变化)而不是固定的东西。所以理解一只狗的重点是它的持续发展。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Are you more like a Platonist or an Aristotelian? It depends on whether you see yourself as having a fixed identity or a changing story. Today's culture often pushes you to be a Platonist, defining yourself as a certain type of person. (你是柏拉图主义者还是亚里士多德主义者?这取决于你认为自己是一个固定的身份还是一个不断变化的故事。今天的文化常常促使你成为柏拉图主义者,把自己定义为某种类型的人。) ”可知,现代文化常常促使人们成为柏拉图主义者,将自己定义为某种类型的人,也就是把自己定义为固定的身份。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,可知文章主要讨论了柏拉图和亚里士多德对于事物本质的不同观点,柏拉图认为哲学探索不变的永恒,而亚里士多德认为变化是事物的本质,然后延伸到个人身份,探讨了我们是具有固定身份(Being)还是一个不断变化的故事(Becoming),所以C选项“成为与存在:关于个人身份的观点”符合文章大意,适合作标题,故选C。
D
It is late at night. You wander empty streets heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid? Experiences like this unveil a profound truth: our minds are not just products of the brain but emerge from its constant dialogue with the body.
At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve (神经) — the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them. Much of the confusing range of functions it regulates are automatic and operate without conscious control. These complex responses engage a group of neural networks that link brain and body. The vagus nerve is, in one way of thinking, the conduit of the mind.
The primary function of the vagus nerve is to dampen the body’s responses. After a fear episode, for example, the body’s powerful, life-saving threat response must be ended to restore resting heartbeat, breathing, blood flow and the rest. So powerful is its influence that the vagus nerve can literally stop the beating heart. Conversely, it can also stimulate bodily responses by releasing the brakes to accelerate.
The vagus nerve is the biological basis for many new therapies (疗法) worldwide. However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve — is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.
The vagus nerve doesn’t need to be a cure for everything — its worth appreciating all on its own. Neuroscientists compare the vagus to an orchestra conductor, harmonizing bodily systems to compose our conscious experience. Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.”
12. How does the author introduce the topic in paragraph 1?
A. By sharing a story. B. By creating a scene.
C. By asking a question. D. By defining a concept.
13. What does the underlined word “conduit” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Channel. B. Product. C. Mirror. D. Nature.
14. What does paragraph 4 mainly talk about?
A. The popularity of a biological treatment. B. The effectiveness of breathing exercises.
C. The misuse of unproven nerve therapies. D. The evidence of vagus nerve’s functions.
15. What do Linda Rinaman’s words imply?
A. Blood circulation determines our emotions. B. Physical health is unrelated to mental states.
C. Body and mind interact to form experiences. D. Our brain stores feelings separate from body.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了迷走神经是身体最长的神经,它连接着大脑和身体,在调节身体反应方面起着重要作用,是许多新疗法的生物学基础,但也存在被用于伪科学的情况,最后强调身心是相互关联的。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“It is late at night. You wander empty streets, heart pounding, muscles tense, sensing danger nearby. Now imagine the same situation, but without these responses. Would you still feel afraid?(深夜,你徘徊在空荡荡的街道上,心跳加速,肌肉紧绷,感觉到附近有危险。现在想象同样的情况,但没有这些反应。你还会感到害怕吗?)”结合下文的迷走神经的相关介绍 可知,作者通过描述一个具体的场景来引入话题。故选B。
【13题详解】
词义猜测题。根据第二段“At the heart of this connection is the vagus nerve(神经)—the body’s longest nerve. It winds its way from the brain throughout the head and trunk, issuing commands to our organs and receiving feelings from them.(这种联系的核心是迷走神经 —— 身体最长的神经。它从大脑蜿蜒穿过头部和躯干,向我们的器官发出指令,并接收来自它们的感觉)” 可知,迷走神经是连接大脑和身体的通道,“conduit” 意思与 “channel(通道)” 相近。故选A。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段“However, some people have taken the vagus nerve’s wide-ranging bodily influence as an invitation to engage in false science. In some corners of the Internet, so-called polyvagal therapy—physical or breathing exercises that some claim reset the vagus nerve—is proposed to address just about any disorder of the mind or body. There’s little evidence that these popular therapies are anything but comfort.(然而,一些人把迷走神经对身体的广泛影响当作参与伪科学的契机。在互联网的一些角落,所谓的多元迷走神经疗法 —— 一些人声称可以重置迷走神经的身体或呼吸练习 —— 被提议用来治疗几乎任何身心失调。几乎没有证据表明这些流行的疗法除了让人感到安慰之外还有其他作用)” 可知,该段主要讲述了未经证实的神经疗法的误用情况。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Professor Linda Rinaman once said, “We’re not just brains in jars. Our thoughts and feelings are rooted in flesh and blood.””(琳达・里纳曼教授曾经说过:“我们不只是罐子里的大脑。我们的思想和感情植根于血肉之中”)” 以及前文提到的身心之间的联系可知,琳达・里纳曼的话暗示了身体和思想相互作用形成我们的体验。故选 C。

___20___ Remember, there’s no reason why people should automatically understand all your views. The more you engage in conversations with your parents, the better you’ll feel.

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语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。.
It was a cool fall morning, and the sun was just starting to rise, casting a warm light to the quit neighborhood. For Alex, the high school junior with a deep passion for science, was filled with both excitement and nervousness. Today marked the final presentation of his science project, which he had been working on for months. The topic was renewable energy, and Alex had built a model of a solar-powered car. He hoped it would help him win the regional science fair.
Alex checked his bag one last time: notes, sides, and the model car. Just as he was about to leave, his younger brother Ax came into the room with big, sorry-looking eyes. In his hand, he held a broken piece of the car's solar panel. “I'm really sorry, Alex!” Ax said in a very quiet voice, his head down because he felt guilty. “I was just so curious. I wanted to see how it worked, and I didn't mean to break it.”
Alex's eyes opened wide in shock, and his heart felt like it dropped to the bottom of his stomach. The presentation was in a few hours, and there wasn't time to fix it. He thought about explaining what happened, but he was worried it would sound like an excuse and make him less likely to win. He could put a battery in the car and act like nothing was wrong. But when he thought about it, he felt uncomfortable. He was proud of being honest, and the idea of cheating, even a little bit, made him feel sick.
As he walked to school, his steps were slow and heavy. He thought about all the late-night hours he spent working at his work bench, how frustrated he was when the circuits didn't work, and how happy he was when the car finally moved using solar power. His dreams of winning the competition and being recognized for his hard work seemed to be going away. But then he remembered the talks at the dinner table a long time ago, when his parents told him how important it was to be honest, responsible, and keep trying. Their words kept playing in his mind. By the time he got to the school gates, a determined look was on his face. He knew exactly what he had to do.
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。
Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous.

Later that day, Alex received an email from the science fair organization.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 Alex stood in front of the class and judges, feeling nervous. He took a deep breath and began his presentation. “Today, I'd like to talk about my project on a solar-powered car. However, before coming here, an accident happened. My little brother broke a part of the solar panel. I was so shocked and disappointed at first. But then I realized that honesty is more important than winning. So, what you see now is a damaged model. But the knowledge and effort behind it are real.” He then went on to explain the theory and his process of building the car. The audience listened attentively, some nodding in understanding.
Later that day Alex received an email from the science fair organization. His heart raced as he opened it. To his surprise, he had won an honorary mention. The email praised his honesty and his in-depth understanding of the project. It said that although his model was damaged, his integrity and the quality of his work impressed the judges. Alex felt a rush of joy and relief. He knew that his decision to be honest was the right one. This experience not only taught him the value of honesty but also made him more determined to pursue his love for science.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了高中生Alex对科学满怀热情,在秋季一个凉爽的早晨,他准备带着研究数月的太阳能汽车模型去参加科学项目最终展示,希望借此赢得地区科学展。出发前,弟弟Ax因好奇弄坏了汽车的太阳能电池板。Alex震惊又沮丧,距离展示只有几小时来不及修理,他纠结于是否作弊,但最终在回忆起父母关于诚实、负责和坚持的教导后,决定做正确的事。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Alex站在全班和评委面前,感到很紧张。”可知,第一段可描写Alex把有一块太阳能电池板坏了的事情如实告诉了评委并讲解制造汽车的过程和理论。
②由第二段首句内容“那天晚些时候,Alex收到了科学博览会组织的一封电子邮件。”可知,第二段可描写作者Alex最后获奖了,并受到了评委的赞扬。
2.续写线索:说出实情——解释理论和制造汽车的过程——获奖——收到赞扬——感悟
