B I believe that if you’re the person in your family who held the celebration this past holiday season, you’ re probably still tired. You may be wondering why you spent so much on presents and why you had to make your house just attractive. If you know what I’m talking about, you’re probably your family’s designated(指定的)celebrator. Actually, I’m my family’s designated celebrator who sees to it that a holiday really happens in the lives of my loved ones. After this New Year’s Day, I was sitting at the breakfast table, tired. My husband looked puzzled and asked, “Why do you do this to yourself every year?” I have to admit that part of what I do around the winter holidays seems almost instinctive. It’s as if I’m driven by the ancient need to mark the darkness of winter with my little bit of light. My answer to my husband’s question is that I believe one of the most important things I can do while I’m on this planet is to show great respect for those I love through celebrations. The older I get, the more I believe it. When my children were young, my husband lost his job. It took a decade to recover emotionally and financially. Hot water and electricity were luxuries that weren’t always available, and meals were a challenge. I tried to hide it from them, but I was constantly afraid of losing our home. Those celebrations were so scarce and the future was so uncertain. So now, celebrations mean that much more to me. This year, I polished the silverware and lit the candles. I bought a bottle of wine and some lamb chops just to celebrate this day. I believe in the importance of celebrations. As my family’s designated celebrator, I may not have done all that I set out to do, but I believe that this year, I celebrated with those I love, and I sincerely hope that I celebrated well. 4. What does the underlined word “instinctive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. New. B. Tough. C. Different. D. Natural. 5. What does the author regard as one of the most important things in life? A. Honoring loved ones through celebrations. B. Celebrating the beauty of winter. C. Providing more luxuries than hot water and electricity. D. Recovering emotionally and financially after a loss. 6. Why does the author treasure celebrations more now? A. She enjoys buying expensive gifts. B Her husband insists on formal events. C. Past hardships deepen their meaning. D. Her children demand frequent parties. 7. What do the author’s actions during celebrations reveal about her? A. She dislikes housework. B. She seeks social approval. C. She prefers material wealth. D. She values family connections. C With Earth Day coming up, a new book Birding to Change the World offers reflections on the ways watching birds can renew our joy in nature and even transform our lives. In the book, environmental justice educator Trish O’Kane describes the lessons from birds that have advanced her teaching in Wisconsin. Author Trish O’Kane is fascinated by American woodcocks (丘鹬), which resemble “a football with wings” and walk awkwardly on land, relying heavily on earthworms (蚯蚓) for food. Their main call is a strange buzzing. Woodcocks are among the 134 bird species inhabiting Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin. However, every year since the 1990s, on 4 July, the park has hosted a fireworks display called Rhythm and Booms. At this event, attended by 100,000 people, cannons (大炮) were fired and five tons of fireworks exploded. Birds are known to feel panic and even pain from such loud noise; some abandon nests or even die of fright. The park was covered in metal left over from the fireworks. O’Kane was angry when she heard about the plans to further develop the park beyond its existing sports fields. O’Kane carried out research, cooperated with local nature lovers to form an activist group called Wild Warner, and educated middle school and college students about the park. Tirelessly working together, a team of park lovers brought evidence forward to local authorities about the ongoing harms to the park, highlighting the delightful woodcocks eating the park’s earthworms that had poison in them. The authorities listened. Rhythm and Booms was moved out of the park and the damaged areas of the park were restored to their original state. O’Kane’s story is richer than what can be expressed in the words here. It begins in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina and ends in Vermont, where she teaches today. O’Kane invites us to see the beauty of birds in our world and act for their well-being. We need their voices in this spring’s chorus. 8. What can we know about the book Birding to Change the World? A. It changed people’s life. B. It describes the beauty of fireworks. C. It involves the insights into birds. D. It made O’ Kane become an educator. 9. What impact did the fireworks display have on the birds? A. Positive. B. Severe. C. Global. D. Short-term. 10. Why did O’Kane oppose the park’s further development? A. It threatened bird habitats. B. It transformed nature lovers. C. It increased fireworks costs. D. It destroyed sports facilities. 11. What does O’ Kane aim to achieve through her book? A. Expanding park sports fields. B. Inspiring nature conservation. C. Promoting fireworks festivals. D. Documenting hurricane history. D Creative people are more likely to make the most of their spare time during a typical day by exploring their mind, a new study conducted by University of Arizona researchers suggests. The study, published in the Creativity Research Journal, finds that creative people are more likely to fruitfully use spare time by letting one idea lead to another. Study participants who were more creative felt less bored when they sat alone in a room, researchers found. The researchers divided the study into two parts. For the first experiment, the researchers asked each participant to sit alone in a room for 10 minutes without any access to digital devices. In the absence of any particular prompt (提示), the participants were asked to voice their thoughts aloud in real time. The recorded files from 81 participants were then analyzed. The researchers assessed the participants’ creativity through a divergent (发散的) thinking test, a lab-based verbal test that measures a person’s ability to think outside of the box. Participants who performed well in the divergent thinking test had thoughts that flowed freely and were associated with one another, often indicated by phrases such as “this reminds me of” or “speaking of which”. The first experiment also found that creative people were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions, such as cell phones or the Internet. For the second experiment, over 2,600 adults answered questions through a smartphone app developed by Jessica Andrews-Hanna and her graduate student Eric Andrews. Participants who described themselves as creative reported less boredom when they were alone. “As we become more overworked, overscheduled and addicted to our digital devices, I think we need to do a better job in our homes, our workplaces, and our schools to cultivate (培养) time to simply relax with our thoughts,” Jessica said. “Understanding why different people think the way they do may lead to promising interventions to improve health,” she added. 12. What do creative people tend to do in their spare time according to the text? A. Engage in thinking. B. Chat with others. C. Use digital devices. D. Take thinking tests. 13. How did the researchers assess the participants’ creativity in the first experiment? A. By testing their verbal skills. B. By analyzing their recorded thoughts. C. By measuring their boredom level. D. By observing their behavior carefully. 14. What might Jessica agree with? A. Scheduled work is harmful. B. Overwork promotes creativity. C. Digital devices boost relaxation. D. Relaxing with thoughts is helpful. 15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. Boredom is linked to lack of creativity. B. Digital devices reduce creativity in free time. C. Thinking outside the box is key to happiness. D. Creative people enjoy spare time more than others. 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。 Dr Albers tells us how to work through anxious thoughts and find peace.

It wasn’t just achievement he chased — it was perfection, as though a small mistake might ruin the value of everything else. When the school launched its annual Green Week, a poster contest was announced to raise awareness of environmental issues. Many students saw it as a chance for fun. For Leo, however, it felt like a test he had to pass. Having followed news about climate change and taken part in online campaigns, he cared deeply about the Earth. But caring wasn’t enough — for him, the poster had to be unique, powerful, and perfect. That very desire became the biggest challenge. As the deadline approached, dozens of drafts piled up on his bedroom floor, which were discarded (被丢弃的), rejected, and unfinished. Each attempt seemed not “good enough”. Whether it was a slogan(口号)that felt too common or a drawing that didn’t match his vision, Leo erased, restarted, and abandoned every effort. It was not that he lacked ideas. What he lacked was the freedom to let them breathe. Meanwhile, his classmates’ posters were going up in the hallway — some neatly colored; others experimental. Creative as they were, Leo could only focus on how much better his work had to be. Tomorrow was the competition day, but Leo was clueless. So upset was he that he decided to take a walk. As the wind shook the trees and dry leaves danced across the sidewalk, Leo reached the neighborhood park. What met his eyes was not nature’s beauty but its mess. Piles of trash lay under a bench: candy wrappers, plastic bottles, and torn paper. Without thinking, Leo bent down and began picking up what he could. It was at that moment, observed by a little girl playing nearby, that something changed. “You’re helping the Earth,” she said quietly. “If it could talk, it would probably thank you,” she added. It was that one sentence, simple though it was, that stayed with Leo. If the Earth could speak, what would it say? 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 With that thought, Leo hurried home and picked up his pencil. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the competition, Leo submitted his poster with repeated revisions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 高二英语期中考试卷 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

Actually, I’m my family’s designated celebrator who sees to it that a holiday really happens in the lives of my loved ones. After this New Year’s Day, I was sitting at the breakfast table, tired. My husband looked puzzled and asked, “Why do you do this to yourself every year?” I have to admit that part of what I do around the winter holidays seems almost instinctive. It’s as if I’m driven by the ancient need to mark the darkness of winter with my little bit of light. My answer to my husband’s question is that I believe one of the most important things I can do while I’m on this planet is to show great respect for those I love through celebrations. The older I get, the more I believe it. When my children were young, my husband lost his job. It took a decade to recover emotionally and financially. Hot water and electricity were luxuries that weren’t always available, and meals were a challenge. I tried to hide it from them, but I was constantly afraid of losing our home. Those celebrations were so scarce and the future was so uncertain. So now, celebrations mean that much more to me. This year, I polished the silverware and lit the candles. I bought a bottle of wine and some lamb chops just to celebrate this day. I believe in the importance of celebrations. As my family’s designated celebrator, I may not have done all that I set out to do, but I believe that this year, I celebrated with those I love, and I sincerely hope that I celebrated well. 4. What does the underlined word “instinctive” in paragraph 2 mean? A. New. B. Tough. C. Different. D. Natural. 5. What does the author regard as one of the most important things in life? A. Honoring loved ones through celebrations. B. Celebrating the beauty of winter. C. Providing more luxuries than hot water and electricity. D. Recovering emotionally and financially after a loss. 6. Why does the author treasure celebrations more now? A. She enjoys buying expensive gifts. B. Her husband insists on formal events. C. Past hardships deepen their meaning. D. Her children demand frequent parties. 7. What do the author’s actions during celebrations reveal about her? A. She dislikes housework. B. She seeks social approval. C. She prefers material wealth. D. She values family connections. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者作为家庭中指定的节日庆祝者，尽管每次筹备节日都会感到疲惫，但她认为通过庆祝活动向所爱之人表达敬意是生命中最重要的事情之一，并且过去的艰难经历让她更加珍视这些庆祝时刻。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“I have to admit that part of what I do around the winter holidays seems almost instinctive. It’s as if I’m driven by the ancient need to mark the darkness of winter with my little bit of light. (我不得不承认，我在冬季节假日所做的一些事情几乎是instinctive。就好像我被一种古老的需要所驱使，要用我的一点微光来照亮冬日的黑暗)”可知，作者在冬季节日期间所做的事情，好像是被一种内在的、由来已久的需求推动着，感觉就像是自然而然就会去做的事情。由此推知，划线词instinctive在这里的意思是“自然的；本能的”，与“Natural”意思相近。A. New新的；B.Tough艰难的；C. Different不同的；D. Natural自然的。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“My answer to my husband’s question is that I believe one of the most important things I can do while I’m on this planet is to show great respect for those I love through celebrations. (我对丈夫问题的回答是，我相信我在这个星球上能做的最重要的事情之一就是通过庆祝活动来表达对我所爱的人的极大尊重)”可知，作者认为生活中最重要的事情之一是通过庆祝活动来尊敬所爱的人。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“When my children were young, my husband lost his job. It took a decade to recover emotionally and financially. Hot water and electricity were luxuries that weren’t always available, and meals were a challenge. I tried to hide it from them, but I was constantly afraid of losing our home. Those celebrations were so scarce and the future was so uncertain. (当我的孩子们还小的时候，我的丈夫失业了。我们花了十年时间才在情感和经济上恢复过来。热水和电都是奢侈品，并不总是有，吃饭也是个难题。我试图向他们隐瞒这一点，但我总是害怕失去我们的家。那些庆祝活动是如此的稀少，未来是如此的不确定)”以及第五段中“So now, celebrations mean that much more to me. (所以现在，庆祝活动对我来说意义重大)”可知，作者在孩子们小的时候，丈夫失业，家庭经济和情感上都经历了困难时期，庆祝活动变得稀少，未来也充满不确定性。由此推知，现在作者更加珍惜庆祝活动，是因为过去的艰难让庆祝活动有了更深的含义。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I believe in the importance of celebrations. As my family’s designated celebrator, I may not have done all that I set out to do, but I believe that this year, I celebrated with those I love, and I sincerely hope that I celebrated well.(我相信庆祝活动的重要性。作为我们家的指定庆祝者，我可能没有完成我计划要做的一切，但我相信今年，我和我所爱的人一起庆祝了，我真诚地希望我庆祝得很好)”可知，作者作为家庭指定庆祝者，尽管可能没有完成所有计划，但她仍然和所爱的人一起庆祝，并希望庆祝得很好。由此推知，作者在庆祝活动中的行为透露出她重视家庭联系。故选D。 C With Earth Day coming up, a new book Birding to Change the World offers reflections on the ways watching birds can renew our joy in nature and even transform our lives. In the book, environmental justice educator Trish O’Kane describes the lessons from birds that have advanced her teaching in Wisconsin. Author Trish O’Kane is fascinated by American woodcocks (丘鹬), which resemble “a football with wings” and walk awkwardly on land, relying heavily on earthworms (蚯蚓) for food. Their main call is a strange buzzing. Woodcocks are among the 134 bird species inhabiting Warner Park in Madison, Wisconsin. However, every year since the 1990s, on 4 July, the park has hosted a fireworks display called Rhythm and Booms. At this event, attended by 100,000 people, cannons (大炮) were fired and five tons of fireworks exploded. Birds are known to feel panic and even pain from such loud noise; some abandon nests or even die of fright. The park was covered in metal left over from the fireworks. O’Kane was angry when she heard about the plans to further develop the park beyond its existing sports fields. O’Kane carried out research, cooperated with local nature lovers to form an activist group called Wild Warner, and educated middle school and college students about the park. Tirelessly working together, a team of park lovers brought evidence forward to local authorities about the ongoing harms to the park, highlighting the delightful woodcocks eating the park’s earthworms that had poison in them. The authorities listened. Rhythm and Booms was moved out of the park and the damaged areas of the park were restored to their original state. O’Kane’s story is richer than what can be expressed in the words here. It begins in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina and ends in Vermont, where she teaches today. O’Kane invites us to see the beauty of birds in our world and act for their well-being. We need their voices in this spring’s chorus. 8. What can we know about the book Birding to Change the World? A. It changed people’s life. B. It describes the beauty of fireworks. C. It involves the insights into birds. D. It made O’ Kane become an educator. 9. What impact did the fireworks display have on the birds? A. Positive. B. Severe. C. Global. D. Short-term. 10. Why did O’Kane oppose the park’s further development? A. It threatened bird habitats. B. It transformed nature lovers. C. It increased fireworks costs. D. It destroyed sports facilities. 11. What does O’ Kane aim to achieve through her book? A. Expanding park sports fields. B. Inspiring nature conservation. C. Promoting fireworks festivals. D. Documenting hurricane history. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了环保教育者Trish O’Kane保护公园生态和鸟类栖息地的经历，强调了保护自然的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“With Earth Day coming up, a new book Birding to Change the World offers reflections on the ways watching birds can renew our joy in nature and even transform our lives. In the book, environmental justice educator Trish O’Kane describes the lessons from birds that have advanced her teaching in Wisconsin. (随着地球日的临近，一本新书《观鸟改变世界》对观鸟如何重新唤起我们对自然的热爱，甚至改变我们的生活进行了反思。在这本书中，环境正义教育家特里什·奥凯恩(Trish O’Kane)描述了从鸟类身上学到的经验教训，这些经验教训促进了她在威斯康星州的教学)”可知，《观鸟改变世界》包含了对鸟类的见解。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“At this event, attended by 100,000 people, cannons (大炮) were fired and five tons of fireworks exploded. Birds are known to feel panic and even pain from such loud noise; some abandon nests or even die of fright. The park was covered in metal left over from the fireworks. (在这次有10万人参加的活动中，大炮被发射，5吨烟花爆炸。众所周知，鸟类会对如此巨大的噪音感到恐慌甚至痛苦；一些鸟会弃巢，甚至被吓死。公园里到处都是烟花留下的金属)”可知，烟花表演对鸟类产生了严重的影响。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“O’Kane was angry when she heard about the plans to further develop the park beyond its existing sports fields. O’Kane carried out research, cooperated with local nature lovers to form an activist group called Wild Warner, and educated middle school and college students about the park. Tirelessly working together, a team of park lovers brought evidence forward to local authorities about the ongoing harms to the park, highlighting the delightful woodcocks eating the park’s earthworms that had poison in them. (当奥凯恩听说要在现有运动场之外进一步开发公园的计划时，她很生气。奥凯恩进行了研究，与当地的自然爱好者合作，成立了一个名为野生华纳的激进组织，并向中学生和大学生宣传这个公园。一群热爱公园的人齐心协力，向当地政府提供了公园持续受到破坏的证据，强调了那些吃着公园里有毒蚯蚓的可爱的丘鹬)”可推知，奥凯恩反对公园的进一步发展是因为它威胁到了鸟类的栖息地。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“O’Kane’s story is richer than what can be expressed in the words here. It begins in New Orleans at the time of Hurricane Katrina and ends in Vermont, where she teaches today. O’Kane invites us to see the beauty of birds in our world and act for their well-being. We need their voices in this spring’s chorus. (奥凯恩的故事比这里用文字表达的更丰富。它始于卡特里娜飓风时期的新奥尔良，结束于她今天任教的佛蒙特州。奥凯恩邀请我们看到我们这个世界上鸟类的美丽，并为它们的幸福而行动。我们需要它们的声音在这个春天的合唱中)”可推知，奥凯恩想通过她的书来激发人们对自然的保护。故选B。 D Creative people are more likely to make the most of their spare time during a typical day by exploring their mind, a new study conducted by University of Arizona researchers suggests. The study, published in the Creativity Research Journal, finds that creative people are more likely to fruitfully use spare time by letting one idea lead to another. Study participants who were more creative felt less bored when they sat alone in a room, researchers found. The researchers divided the study into two parts. For the first experiment, the researchers asked each participant to sit alone in a room for 10 minutes without any access to digital devices. In the absence of any particular prompt (提示), the participants were asked to voice their thoughts aloud in real time. The recorded files from 81 participants were then analyzed. The researchers assessed the participants’ creativity through a divergent (发散的) thinking test, a lab-based verbal test that measures a person’s ability to think outside of the box. Participants who performed well in the divergent thinking test had thoughts that flowed freely and were associated with one another, often indicated by phrases such as “this reminds me of” or “speaking of which”. The first experiment also found that creative people were more engaged in their thoughts when they were left alone without distractions, such as cell phones or the Internet. For the second experiment, over 2,600 adults answered questions through a smartphone app developed by Jessica Andrews-Hanna and her graduate student Eric Andrews. Participants who described themselves as creative reported less boredom when they were alone. “As we become more overworked, overscheduled and addicted to our digital devices, I think we need to do a better job in our homes, our workplaces, and our schools to cultivate (培养) time to simply relax with our thoughts,” Jessica said. “Understanding why different people think the way they do may lead to promising interventions to improve health,” she added. 12. What do creative people tend to do in their spare time according to the text? A. Engage in thinking. B. Chat with others. C. Use digital devices. D. Take thinking tests. 13. How did the researchers assess the participants’ creativity in the first experiment? A. By testing their verbal skills. B. By analyzing their recorded thoughts. C. By measuring their boredom level. D. By observing their behavior carefully. 14. What might Jessica agree with? A. Scheduled work is harmful. B. Overwork promotes creativity. C. Digital devices boost relaxation. D. Relaxing with thoughts is helpful. 15. Which of the following may be the best title for the text? A. Boredom is linked to lack of creativity. B. Digital devices reduce creativity in free time. C. Thinking outside the box is key to happiness. D. Creative people enjoy spare time more than others. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了亚利桑那大学研究人员进行的一项新研究表明，有创造力的人更有可能在一天中充分利用空闲时间，通过探索自己的思维来度过。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Creative people are more likely to make the most of their spare time during a typical day by exploring their mind, a new study conducted by University of Arizona researchers suggests.(亚利桑那大学研究人员进行的一项新研究表明，有创造力的人更有可能在一天中充分利用空闲时间，通过探索自己的思维来度过)”可知，有创造力的人在业余时间倾向于从事思考。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The researchers assessed the participants’ creativity through a divergent (发散的) thinking test, a lab-based verbal test that measures a person’s ability to think outside of the box.

It wasn’t just achievement he chased — it was perfection, as though a small mistake might ruin the value of everything else. When the school launched its annual Green Week, a poster contest was announced to raise awareness of environmental issues. Many students saw it as a chance for fun. For Leo, however, it felt like a test he had to pass. Having followed news about climate change and taken part in online campaigns, he cared deeply about the Earth. But caring wasn’t enough — for him, the poster had to be unique, powerful, and perfect. That very desire became the biggest challenge. As the deadline approached, dozens of drafts piled up on his bedroom floor, which were discarded (被丢弃的), rejected, and unfinished. Each attempt seemed not “good enough”. Whether it was a slogan(口号)that felt too common or a drawing that didn’t match his vision, Leo erased, restarted, and abandoned every effort. It was not that he lacked ideas. What he lacked was the freedom to let them breathe. Meanwhile, his classmates’ posters were going up in the hallway — some neatly colored; others experimental. Creative as they were, Leo could only focus on how much better his work had to be. Tomorrow was the competition day but Leo was clueless. So upset was he that he decided to take a walk. As the wind shook the trees and dry leaves danced across the sidewalk, Leo reached the neighborhood park. What met his eyes was not nature’s beauty but its mess. Piles of trash lay under a bench: candy wrappers, plastic bottles, and torn paper. Without thinking, Leo bent down and began picking up what he could. It was at that moment, observed by a little girl playing nearby, that something changed. “You’re helping the Earth,” she said quietly. “If it could talk, it would probably thank you,” she added. It was that one sentence, simple though it was, that stayed with Leo. If the Earth could speak, what would it say? 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With that thought, Leo hurried home and picked up his pencil. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the day of the competition, Leo submitted his poster with repeated revisions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With that thought, Leo hurried home and picked up his pencil. All through the night, he worked — sketching, erasing, and redrawing, completely absorbed in the moment. The paper became messy, covered with uneven lines. However, so eager was Leo to express his concern for the planet that he no longer cared about the poster’s appearance. He sketched a tired Earth sitting alone in a park, holding a cardboard sign that read “I’m doing my best. Are you?” Around it, he drew scenes from his own life like garbage on sidewalks and factories in the distance. Though the drawings lacked technical perfection, they were real. And that, Leo thought, might just be enough. On the day of the competition, Leo submitted his poster with repeated revisions. So powerful was its message that students who usually walked past without interest stopped to look. Many were moved, not by how the poster looked, but by what it said. The judges recognized its emotional weight too, awarding it the “Best Impact Award”. Hung at the school entrance, the poster sparked genuine conversations. It was the message that stayed in their minds. From that day on, Leo understood something he had never believed before: Truth can be more powerful than perfection. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了追求完美的Leo在学校绿色周海报比赛中，因过于追求完美而陷入困境，在公园看到垃圾并得到小女孩的启发后，重新思考并完成海报创作的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“带着这个想法，利奥匆忙赶回家，拿起铅笔。”可知，第一段可描写Leo打破完美主义桎梏，将真实感受融入海报创作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛当天，Leo提交了反复修改后的海报”可知，第二段可描写Leo的作品因真实触动人心而获奖，并让他领悟到真实比完美更重要的感悟。 2.续写线索：创作突破——真实表达——提交作品——情感共鸣——获得认可——思想转变 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①创作：sketch /draw/compose ②拿着：hold/take/carry ③悬挂：hang /display/put up 情绪类 ①专注：absorbed in /immersed in /engrossed in ②感动：move /touch/affect ③认可：recognize /acknowledge/appreciate 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Though the drawings lacked technical perfection, they were real.
