B In the mid-1980s, I captained a flight from Newark to Los Angeles, a routine journey that became unforgettable when I encountered the legendary Muhammad Ali in first class. Ali, the former heavyweight champion, was returning home from a Parkinson’s clinic. Being a boxing enthusiast who had fought in college, I admired Ali very much. I described the famous fight against Floyd Patterson, where Ali’s hands-down, dancing approach astonished me. Approaching Ali, I shared my admiration for his ability to strike Patterson before he could defend himself—a moment frozen in boxing history. After I spoke, there was an awkward pause. I wasn’t sure if Ali had heard me, and I was debating whether to move on or repeat myself. Then his face lit up with a smile. Apparently, the Parkinson’s had caused a short circuit. The champion was standing up in front of his seat when I spoke. He put his hands up in a boxing position, starting to walk slowly back and forth. Later, Ali’s assistant invited me to first class. Our conversation shifted from boxing to our mutual love for family. I told him I loved my job but I didn’t enjoy being away from home during holidays or missing birthdays and special events. In fact, on that trip I was missing a camping trip with my son. He inquired more about the camping trip and my son’s name. As our flight landed in Los Angeles, a knock on the cockpit door revealed Ali’s assistant holding a precious gift—a signed 8-by-11-inch photo of Ali. On it, the champion wrote a heartfelt message to my son: “The time your father spends away from home is the price he pays for service to others.” During 30 years with the airlines, I had many pleasant experiences and many lessons about the generosity and kindness of people from around the world. But 10 years into retirement, what I remember most are Muhammad Ali’s stories about his love for his family and his kindness toward my son. 4. How did Ali react to the author’s description of the fight against Floyd Patterson? A. He turned a deaf ear to it. B. He rose to a boxing position. C. He felt kind of embarrassed. D. He was lost in thought for a while. 5. How did the author feel before meeting Ali? A. Regretful. B. Awkward. C. Fortunate. D. Precious. 6. Why did Ali offer a signed photo with a message to the author’s son? A. To inspire the author’s son to be brave. B. To make up for the author’s son’s camping trip. C. To promote the author’s son’s understanding of his work. D. To tell the author’s son the importance of friendship. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Life on the move B. Wisdom in seventeen words C. An unexpected photo for a son D. Balance between job and family C It is thought that music can make maths more enjoyable keep students engaged and help ease fear or anxiety they have about maths. To find out more, Turkish researcher Dr Ayca Akin, from the Department of Software Engineering, Antalya Belek University, searched academic databases for research on the topic published between 1975 and 2022. She then combined the results of 55 studies from around the world, involving almost 78,000 young people from kindergarten pupils to university students, to come up with an answer. Students took maths tests before and after taking part in the intervention and the change in their scores was compared with that of youngsters who didn’t take part in an intervention. The use of music, whether in separate lessons or as part of maths classes, was associated with greater improvement in maths over time. The integrated lessons had the biggest effect, with around 73% of students who had integrated lessons doing significantly better than youngsters who didn’t have any type of musical intervention. Some 69% of students who learned how to play instruments and 58% of students who had normal music lessons improved more than pupils with no musical intervention. The results also indicate that music helps more with learning arithmetic (算术) than other types of maths and has a bigger impact on younger pupils and those learning more basic mathematical concepts. Dr Akin point s out that maths and music have much in common, such as the use of symmetry symbols. Both subjects also require abstract thought and quantitative reasoning. Limitations of the analysis include the relatively small number of studies available for inclusion. This meant it wasn’t possible to look at the effect of factors such as gender, socio-economic status and length of musical instruction on the results. Dr Akin adds, “Encouraging mathematics and music teachers to plan lessons together could help ease students’ anxiety about mathematics, while also boosting achievement.” 8. How did Dr Akin conduct her research? A. By launching a questionnaire online. B. By creating a data model. C. By analyzing data worldwide. D. By surveying university students. 9. What were the students asked to do to reflect the effect of the intervention? A. Take maths tests. B. Develop abstract thought. C. Plan lessons with music teachers. D. Learn more basic mathematical concepts. 10. Why can music contribute to mathematics learning according to Dr Akin? A. Music has some similarities with mathematics. B. Music can help students learn mathematical models. C. Music is involved in mathematical calculation. D. Music comes from mathematics. 11. What does the author think of the research? A. Overall. B. Sensitive. C. Subjective. D. Imperfect. D Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. “Why do birds sing so much?” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. “For some reason, birds have a strong drive to sing.” This means hours’ singing every day for some species, and that takes much energy. Plus, singing can be perilous. “Instantly you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators (捕食者), for everybody.” To figure out why, Adam designed experiments on zebra finches—little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks. One of her first experiments involved taking males at the top of their game, and cutting off the connection between their brains and their singing muscles. “Already after two days, they’d lost some of their performance,” she says. “After three weeks, they were back to the same level when they were juveniles (幼鸟) and never had sung before.” Next, she left the birds intact (完好无损的) but kept them in the dark almost around the clock for a week. The only exception was a few half hour blocks each day when Adam switched the lights on so the finches would feed and drink. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing. However, she would move around and tap the cage when the birds wanted to sing. After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. Then she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness, yet she couldn’t hear a difference. But when Adam played it for a group of female birds—who’re the audience for these singing males—six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance. So their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad”. And this may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. 12. What does the underlined word “perilous” probably mean in paragraph 1? A. Rewarding. B. Promising. C. Attractive. D. Dangerous. 13. What happened to the male finches after operations? A. Their brains recovered after three weeks. B. They lost the ability to sing gradually. C. Their muscles were back to juvenile level quickly. D. They became inactive when hunting for food. 14. Why were some male finches left in the dark for a week? A. To prevent them from singing. B. To expose them to a new lifestyle. C. To change their communicating patterns. D. To test their ability to memorize the past. 15. What is the positive effect of songbirds’ constant singing? A. It enhanced their lung capacity. B. It could frighten away their predators. C It improved their digestive ability. D. It could keep their vocal muscles in shape. 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。 Selecting a perfect watch for others may seem a little discouraging at first. ___16___ How much should I spend?

Sam and Emily were best friends and had always studied together. Sam was naturally gifted in mathematics, while Emily excelled in history. As their final exams approached, they promised to help each other with their weaker subjects. They spent weeks preparing, exchanging notes, and quizzing each other. Sam helped Emily understand complex mathematics problems, and Emily helped Sam remember historical dates and events. Their friendship grew stronger as they worked towards their common goal. However, as the exam day neared, Sam started to feel huge pressure. His parents had high expectations, and he was afraid of letting them down. He began to doubt his abilities, especially in history, which was his weakest subject. Emily noticed Sam’s anxiety and tried to reassure him, but Sam’s stress only seemed to increase. The night before the history exam, Sam admitted to Emily that he was considering cheating because he was so afraid of failing. Emily was shocked and disappointed. She reminded Sam of all the hard work they had put in and the serious consequences cheating could have. She told him that it was better to try and fail honestly than to succeed through dishonesty. On the day of the history exam, Sam was extremely nervous. He remembered Emily’s words and knew she was right. He decided to face the exam honestly, using what he had learned from their study sessions. During the exam, Sam struggled with some of the questions, but he did his best to answer them without turning to cheating. When the exam ended, he felt a mix of relief and uncertainty. He had stuck to his values, but he wasn’t sure if he had done enough to pass the subject. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, the exam results were announced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience of preparing for and taking the exams strengthened the bond between Sam and Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2025年安徽省普通高等学校招生全国统一考试 英语冲刺卷(一) 本试卷共150分 考试时间120分钟 注意事项: 1.答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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) 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。 1.

Approaching Ali, I shared my admiration for his ability to strike Patterson before he could defend himself—a moment frozen in boxing history. After I spoke, there was an awkward pause. I wasn’t sure if Ali had heard me, and I was debating whether to move on or repeat myself. Then his face lit up with a smile. Apparently, the Parkinson’s had caused a short circuit. The champion was standing up in front of his seat when I spoke. He put his hands up in a boxing position, starting to walk slowly back and forth. Later, Ali’s assistant invited me to first class. Our conversation shifted from boxing to our mutual love for family. I told him I loved my job but I didn’t enjoy being away from home during holidays or missing birthdays and special events. In fact, on that trip I was missing a camping trip with my son. He inquired more about the camping trip and my son’s name. As our flight landed in Los Angeles, a knock on the cockpit door revealed Ali’s assistant holding a precious gift—a signed 8-by-11-inch photo of Ali. On it, the champion wrote a heartfelt message to my son: “The time your father spends away from home is the price he pays for service to others.” During 30 years with the airlines, I had many pleasant experiences and many lessons about the generosity and kindness of people from around the world. But 10 years into retirement, what I remember most are Muhammad Ali’s stories about his love for his family and his kindness toward my son. 4. How did Ali react to the author’s description of the fight against Floyd Patterson? A He turned a deaf ear to it. B. He rose to a boxing position. C. He felt kind of embarrassed. D. He was lost in thought for a while. 5. How did the author feel before meeting Ali? A. Regretful. B. Awkward. C. Fortunate. D. Precious. 6. Why did Ali offer a signed photo with a message to the author’s son? A. To inspire the author’s son to be brave. B. To make up for the author’s son’s camping trip. C. To promote the author’s son’s understanding of his work. D. To tell the author’s son the importance of friendship. 7. What is the best title for the text? A. Life on the move B. Wisdom in seventeen words C. An unexpected photo for a son D. Balance between job and family 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者在20世纪80年代中期担任机长时，在航班上偶遇拳王穆罕默德·阿里，并与他交流互动的一段难忘经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The champion was standing up in front of his seat when I spoke. He put his hands up in a boxing position, starting to walk slowly back and forth. (我说话时，这位冠军正站在座位前。他双手摆出拳击的姿势，开始慢慢地来回走动)”可知，阿里听到作者描述他战胜弗洛伊德·帕特森的比赛后，摆出了拳击的姿势。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“I told him I loved my job but I didn’t enjoy being away from home during holidays or missing birthdays and special events. In fact, on that trip I was missing a camping trip with my son.  (作为一名大学时打过拳击的拳击爱好者，我非常钦佩阿里我告诉他我喜欢我的工作，但我不喜欢在假期离开家，或者错过生日和特殊活动。事实上，在那次旅行中，我错过了和我儿子的露营之旅)”可知，作者在见到阿里之前是带着遗憾的，因为他错过了和儿子的露营之旅。故选A。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中“On it, the champion wrote a heartfelt message to my son: “The time your father spends away from home is the price he pays for service to others.” (在这张照片上，这位冠军给我的儿子写了一段感人的话：“你父亲离家在外的时间，就是他为他人服务所付出的代价。”)”可知，阿里给作者的儿子写了一段感人的话，称赞作者为他人服务所付出的代价，结合前文作者告诉阿里自己喜欢自己的工作，但不喜欢在假期离开家或错过生日和特殊活动，以及阿里询问了关于露营和作者儿子的名字等可推知，阿里送照片并留言的目的是为了促进作者的儿子理解父亲的工作。故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者在一次航班上偶遇拳王穆罕默德·阿里，并与他交流互动，最后阿里送了一张签名照片给作者的儿子，照片上还写了一段感人的话，结合倒数第二段中“On it, the champion wrote a heartfelt message to my son: “The time your father spends away from home is the price he pays for service to others.” (在这张照片上，这位冠军给我的儿子写了一段感人的话：“你父亲离家在外的时间，就是他为他人服务所付出的代价。”)”可知，阿里在照片上写的话是文章的主旨，也是作者10年后退休时印象最深刻的，由此可知，B选项“十七个字中的智慧”最符合文章标题，既体现了阿里送照片并留言这一事件，又突出了留言的深刻含义。故选B。 C It is thought that music can make maths more enjoyable, keep students engaged and help ease fear or anxiety they have about maths. To find out more, Turkish researcher Dr Ayca Akin, from the Department of Software Engineering, Antalya Belek University, searched academic databases for research on the topic published between 1975 and 2022. She then combined the results of 55 studies from around the world, involving almost 78,000 young people from kindergarten pupils to university students, to come up with an answer. Students took maths tests before and after taking part in the intervention and the change in their scores was compared with that of youngsters who didn’t take part in an intervention. The use of music, whether in separate lessons or as part of maths classes, was associated with greater improvement in maths over time. The integrated lessons had the biggest effect, with around 73% of students who had integrated lessons doing significantly better than youngsters who didn’t have any type of musical intervention. Some 69% of students who learned how to play instruments and 58% of students who had normal music lessons improved more than pupils with no musical intervention. The results also indicate that music helps more with learning arithmetic (算术) than other types of maths and has a bigger impact on younger pupils and those learning more basic mathematical concepts. Dr Akin point s out that maths and music have much in common, such as the use of symmetry symbols. Both subjects also require abstract thought and quantitative reasoning. Limitations of the analysis include the relatively small number of studies available for inclusion. This meant it wasn’t possible to look at the effect of factors such as gender, socio-economic status and length of musical instruction on the results. Dr Akin adds, “Encouraging mathematics and music teachers to plan lessons together could help ease students’ anxiety about mathematics, while also boosting achievement.” 8. How did Dr Akin conduct her research? A. By launching a questionnaire online. B. By creating a data model. C. By analyzing data worldwide. D. By surveying university students. 9. What were the students asked to do to reflect the effect of the intervention? A. Take maths tests. B. Develop abstract thought. C. Plan lessons with music teachers. D. Learn more basic mathematical concepts. 10. Why can music contribute to mathematics learning according to Dr Akin? A. Music has some similarities with mathematics. B. Music can help students learn mathematical models. C. Music is involved in mathematical calculation. D. Music comes from mathematics. 11. What does the author think of the research? A. Overall. B. Sensitive. C. Subjective. D. Imperfect. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了研究发现，音乐干预有益于数学学习。文章解释了研究开展的经过以及存在的局限。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out more, Turkish researcher Dr Ayca Akin, from the Department of Software Engineering, Antalya Belek University, searched academic databases for research on the topic published between 1975 and 2022. She then combined the results of 55 studies from around the world, involving almost 78,000 young people from kindergarten pupils to university students, to come up with an answer.(为了了解更多，来自安塔利亚贝莱克大学软件工程系的土耳其研究员艾卡·阿金博士在学术数据库中搜索了1975年至2022年间发表的有关这一主题的研究。然后，她结合了来自世界各地的55项研究的结果，这些研究涉及近78000名从幼儿园学生到大学生的年轻人，以得出一个答案。)”可知，阿金博士通过分析全球的数据进行她的研究。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Students took maths tests before and after taking part in the intervention and the change in their scores was compared with that of youngsters who didn’t take part in an intervention.(学生们在参加干预之前和之后都进行了数学测试，并将他们的分数变化与没有参加干预的孩子进行了比较。)”可知，学生被要求参加数学测试来反映干预的效果。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Dr Akin point s out that maths and music have much in common, such as the use of symmetry symbols. Both subjects also require abstract thought and quantitative reasoning.(阿金博士指出，数学和音乐有很多共同之处，比如对称符号的使用。这两门学科都需要抽象思维和定量推理。)”可知，音乐有助于数学学习是因为音乐和数学有一些相似之处。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Limitations of the analysis include the relatively small number of studies available for inclusion. This meant it wasn’t possible to look at the effect of factors such as gender, socio-economic status and length of musical instruction on the results.(分析的局限性包括可纳入的研究数量相对较少。这意味着不可能观察到性别、社会经济地位和音乐教学时间长短等因素对结果的影响。)”可知，作者认为这项研究是不完美的。故选D。 D Not all birds sing, but those that do—some several thousand species—do it a lot. “Why do birds sing so much?” says Iris Adam, a behavioral neuroscientist at the University of Southern Denmark. “For some reason, birds have a strong drive to sing.” This means hours’ singing every day for some species, and that takes much energy. Plus, singing can be perilous. “Instantly you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators (捕食者), for everybody.” To figure out why, Adam designed experiments on zebra finches—little Australian songbirds with striped heads and a bloom of orange on their cheeks. One of her first experiments involved taking males at the top of their game, and cutting off the connection between their brains and their singing muscles. “Already after two days, they’d lost some of their performance,” she says. “After three weeks, they were back to the same level when they were juveniles (幼鸟) and never had sung before.” Next, she left the birds intact (完好无损的) but kept them in the dark almost around the clock for a week. The only exception was a few half hour blocks each day when Adam switched the lights on so the finches would feed and drink. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing. However, she would move around and tap the cage when the birds wanted to sing. After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. Then she played a male’s song before and after the seven days of darkness, yet she couldn’t hear a difference. But when Adam played it for a group of female birds—who’re the audience for these singing males—six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily. Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance. So their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad”. And this may help explain songbirds’ constant singing. 12. What does the underlined word “perilous” probably mean in paragraph 1? A. Rewarding. B. Promising. C. Attractive. D. Dangerous. 13. What happened to the male finches after operations? A. Their brains recovered after three weeks. B. They lost the ability to sing gradually. C. Their muscles were back to juvenile level quickly. D. They became inactive when hunting for food. 14. Why were some male finches left in the dark for a week? A. To prevent them from singing. B. To expose them to a new lifestyle. C. To change their communicating patterns. D. To test their ability to memorize the past. 15. What is the positive effect of songbirds’ constant singing? A. It enhanced their lung capacity. B. It could frighten away their predators. C. It improved their digestive ability. D. It could keep their vocal muscles in shape. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了鸣禽需要通过不断地唱歌来锻炼它们的鸣肌，从而发出最好的鸣叫声以吸引异性。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据下文““Instantly you sing, you reveal yourself,” she says. “Like, where you are, that you even exist, where your territory is—all of that immediately is out in the open for predators (捕食者), for everybody.”(她说：“你一唱歌，你就暴露了自己。”“比如，你在哪里，你甚至存在，你的领土在哪里——所有这些都立即暴露在捕食者面前，对每个人来说。”)”可知，鸟儿一唱歌就会暴露它们的位置，招来捕食者，所以鸟儿唱歌可能带来危险，由此可推知，perilous意为“危险的”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“One of her first experiments involved taking males at the top of their game, and cutting off the connection between their brains and their singing muscles. “Already after two days, they’d lost some of their performance,” she says. “After three weeks, they were back to the same level when they were juveniles (幼鸟) and never had sung before.”(她的第一个实验是选取处于巅峰状态的雄性，切断它们大脑和歌唱肌肉之间的联系。她说:“两天之后，他们已经失去了一些表现。”“三周后，它们又回到了幼年时的水平，以前从未唱过歌。”)”可知，他们逐渐失去了唱歌的能力。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Next, she left the birds intact (完好无损的) but kept them in the dark almost around the clock for a week. The only exception was a few half hour blocks each day when Adam switched the lights on so the finches would feed and drink. Light is what stimulates the birds to sing. However, she would move around and tap the cage when the birds wanted to sing.(接下来，她让这些鸟完好无损，但把它们放在黑暗中几乎24小时一个星期。唯一的例外是每天有几个半小时的时段，亚当打开灯，让雀类进食和饮水。光是刺激鸟儿歌唱的东西。然而，当鸟儿想唱歌时，她会四处走动，轻敲笼子。)”可知，一些雄性雀在黑暗中呆了一个星期是为了阻止它们唱歌。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“But when Adam played it for a group of female birds—who’re the audience for these singing males—six out of nine preferred the song that came from a male who’d been using his singing muscles daily.(但是当亚当为一群雌鸟演奏这首歌时——这些雌鸟是这些唱歌的雄鸟的听众——9只中有6只更喜欢每天都在使用唱歌肌肉的雄鸟发出的歌。)”和文章最后一段“Adam’s conclusion is that “songbirds need to exercise their vocal muscles to produce top-performance song. If they don’t sing, they lose performance. So their vocalizations get less attractive to females—and that’s bad”. And this may help explain songbirds’ constant singing.(亚当的结论是:“鸣禽需要锻炼发声肌肉，才能唱出最好的歌曲。如果他们不唱歌，他们就会失去表演。所以它们的声音对雌性的吸引力降低了——这很糟糕。”这可能有助于解释鸣禽的持续歌唱。)”可推知，鸣禽不断歌唱的积极影响是它可以保持他们的声带肌肉的形状。故选D。 第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Selecting a perfect watch for others may seem a little discouraging at first. ___16___ How much should I spend?

Sam and Emily were best friends and had always studied together. Sam was naturally gifted in mathematics, while Emily excelled in history. As their final exams approached, they promised to help each other with their weaker subjects. They spent weeks preparing, exchanging notes, and quizzing each other. Sam helped Emily understand complex mathematics problems, and Emily helped Sam remember historical dates and events. Their friendship grew stronger as they worked towards their common goal. However, as the exam day neared, Sam started to feel huge pressure. His parents had high expectations, and he was afraid of letting them down. He began to doubt his abilities, especially in history, which was his weakest subject. Emily noticed Sam’s anxiety and tried to reassure him, but Sam’s stress only seemed to increase. The night before the history exam, Sam admitted to Emily that he was considering cheating because he was so afraid of failing. Emily was shocked and disappointed. She reminded Sam of all the hard work they had put in and the serious consequences cheating could have. She told him that it was better to try and fail honestly than to succeed through dishonesty. On the day of the history exam, Sam was extremely nervous. He remembered Emily’s words and knew she was right. He decided to face the exam honestly, using what he had learned from their study sessions. During the exam, Sam struggled with some of the questions, but he did his best to answer them without turning to cheating. When the exam ended, he felt a mix of relief and uncertainty. He had stuck to his values, but he wasn’t sure if he had done enough to pass the subject. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 A few weeks later, the exam results were announced. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The experience of preparing for and taking the exams strengthened the bond between Sam and Emily. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A few weeks later, the exam results were announced. Sam passed his history exam with an acceptable grade! He was overjoyed and relieved. He realized that he might have got a higher score if he had cheated, but the score was his honest effort, and that made it more valuable. Emily was proud of Sam for making the right choice. She told him that honesty was much more important than any grade. The experience of preparing for and taking the exams strengthened the bond between Sam and Emily. They learned that facing challenges together, with honesty and support for each other, was more important than the outcome of any test. From then on, Sam approached challenges with more confidence and integrity, and Emily continued to be a supportive friend. Together, they realized that the true test was not in the exams they took but in the choices they made and the kind of people they chose to be. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了在加州喜瑞都的惠特尼高中，两个朋友Sam和Emily在准备期末考试时的经历。Sam擅长数学，而Emily在历史方面表现出色。他们互相帮助，在各自的弱项上进行辅导。随着考试的临近，Sam因为家庭的高期望和对自己历史能力的怀疑而感到压力巨大。他甚至考虑作弊，但在Emily的劝说下，他决定诚实地参加考试。尽管考试过程中感到紧张和不确定，Sam最终坚持了自己的价值观，没有作弊。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几周后，考试结果公布了”可知，第一段可描写Sam的历史成绩不错，他对该成绩的反应，以及Emily对于Sam做出正确选择的反应。 ②由第二段首句内容“准备考试和参加考试的经历加强了Sam和Emily之间的联系”可知，第二段可描写两人加深了友谊，继续协作前行，以及两人从这次考试的经历中得到的感悟。 2. 续写线索：考试结果公布——Sam的反应——Emily的反应——两人联系加强——两人继续协作——两人的感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/recognize/be aware of ②得到：get/gain ③面对：face/face up to ④处理：approach/deal with/tackle 情绪类 ①狂喜的：overjoyed/delighted/happy ②宽慰的：relieved/eased/alleviated 【点睛】【高分句型1】He realized that he might have got a higher score if he had cheated, but the score was his honest effort, and that made it more valuable.
