Hope the following words may provide practical support. First, practice constantly and record your performance, through which you can make sure to speak slowly and clearly for your audience to take in your ideas. Second, use personal stories or popular examples to make your message relatable, which can catch your audience’s attention. Third, make eye contact and raise inspiring questions to create a lively atmosphere. Mistakes won’t be avoided, so just stay confident and concentrated. Wishing you courage and success. Yours, Brad Smith 第二节 参考范文： Paragraph 1 Seeing Sara's trouble, her teacher asked her to come to him and showed her a beautiful glass cup. Sara had never seen such a beautiful glass piece before. But suddenly, the cup slipped from her teacher’ s hands and broke into pieces. A wave of sadness spread over her face. Her teacher looked at her face and said softly, “Beauty lies in imperfection and welcoming imperfection is an act of self-love and acceptance.” Then he began repairing the cup with golden glue, making it even more beautiful than before and gave the cup to Sara as a gift. Paragraph 2: Looking at the well-repaired cup and reflecting on her teacher's words, Sara decided to paint without worrying about perfection. As Sara let go of her anxiety, her painting became more beautiful. On the competition day, Sara accidentally spilled water on the painting before submitting it, but instead of panicking, she calmly added raindrops to her artwork, making it even better than before. When the results were announced, Sara won the second prize. She was happy about the result but, more importantly, she learned a valuable lesson: Being perfect all the time isn't necessary, because beauty lies in imperfection, and accepting small faults makes us human. 高一英语（答）— 2 听力原文 Text 1 W: Guess what? I just saw a poster that says men's suits are on sale today and tomorrow at Bloomingdale's. (1) M: Great! That's just what I've been waiting for. (1) Text 2 W: Hi, David. Where did you go yesterday afternoon? I called you but there was no answer. M: I went to the cinema with my parents. W: Oh, yes, I remember you told me you would see the new movie. Is it as good as you expected? M: To tell you the truth, it's really a waste of time and money. (2) Text 3 M: Where shall we go now? We've seen the church and the modern art exhibition. I don't know what else is worth visiting here. W: How about the gift shops? We need to buy some souvenirs. (3) Text 4 W: How do you like this painting, Mike? M: It looks like a kid did it with some colored pencils or something. W: You really have no taste in art. Look at the shapes and colors. They're fantastic. It takes talent to do this kind of painting. (4) Text 5 M: Have you decided what to wear for the graduation ceremony, Linda? W: Yes, I'm planning to wear a traditional Hanfu to celebrate this day in a unique way. What about you? M: I'm going to wear a suit to look smart. Text 6 W: What shall we do this weekend, William? M:Why don't we go to the sheep park near my house? (6) W:A sheep park? How interesting! Are there really sheep in the park? M: Yes. They are there to protect the environment. W: How can they help the environment? M: You know, people usually use chemicals to kill unwanted plants. The sheep in the park eat those plants, so the chemicals are not needed. (7) W:What a bright idea! I can't wait to visit the park! Text 7 M: I wrote this song last night. I've been feeling very creative lately. W: It's interesting. I've never heard a song about bees before. (8) M: It just came into my head naturally when I was watching a documentary about bees last night. W: You are a born singer. I bet you have other songs. M: Oh, yeah! I wrote one about the four oceans the other day. And I have others about socks, my family and tons of other things. I'm going to put them all on an album. W: Good idea. M: Maybe I will get really famous and go on tour!Want to be in my band? (9) W:Well, my style is really different from yours. (10)Your songs are so happy and light. M: I have some emotional songs, too. We would make a really good team, I think. Text 8 W: John, I heard you made a nice speech at school. How did you improve your public speaking skills? M: Oh, it's thanks to TED. W: The app of TED? M: You are right, Alice. This free app is very useful. It has collected more than seven hundred talks from the world's 高一英语（答）— 3 most famous thinkers, leaders, artists, etc. I can watch talks by subject and download them to watch offline. (11) There's a short introduction for each talk, so I can get the main idea in advance. W: It seems that online learning apps are really great. M: Absolutely. They show me a new way of learning. W: Wow, I think you must be familiar with online study tools. Which app do you think is the best for your schoolwork besides TED? M: I often use Khan Academy. This app allows me to learn almost anything for free. It covers many subjects. The real magic of Khan Academy is that it allows me to create my own learning plan. (12) W: That's great! I'm going to download those apps right now. Thanks for your sharing. Text 9 M: Anna, tell us how your shows for children started. You used to illustrate children's books at college, didn't you? (14) W: That's right, but I stopped painting when my daughter was born.（14）I considered teaching art classes part-time, but instead, I decided to start making toy animals for my daughter. I love acting, so I often created little plays for the toy animals and did the voices myself. M: And when did you start doing shows for other people? W: I wrote a little show and acted it out at my daughter's fifth birthday party. It was popular. Soon, other parents invited me to perform the show at their children's parties. That's how it began. (15) M: It must be a lot of work for you. W: Yes, I needed someone to help me. Luckily, my neighbor Linda was eager to perform with me. (16) Her husband records the music to go with the shows. M: Have you ever encountered any problems? W: Only once. I performed a show for a group of three-year-olds, and I'd written a story about a lion. Unfortunately, the children were quite afraid of the lion and started crying. That experience taught me that I need to find out in advance what children enjoy. (17) M: And the shows continue to be successful? W: Yes, they do. I love every minute of every show, and other people love them too. Text 10 If you're looking for a special present for yourself or a friend, why not book a flight in a hot air balloon? These exciting trips give you the chance to enjoy a really unusual view of the countryside. For a successful flight, we need light winds. It's also important that there's no rain and we have a clear sky. If there are too many clouds, we'll cancel the flight and your trip will be arranged for another date. (18) The temperature in the air is similar to that on the ground, so you should wear causal outdoor clothes. Also, you should remember to wear boots. (19) This is because you may need to walk through wet and muddy fields at the end of the trip. All our flights take place in the evening and departure time depends on when the sun sets. The season starts in March, and in May, for example, flights would be at 6:00 pm. The last flights are in October, and after that we close for the winter. (20) If you would like to book a flight or receive more information about hot air balloons, just feel free to call us. It will be a trip you will never forget. 高一英语（答）— 4 参考答案及解析 第二部分 阅读 第一节 A 本文为一篇应用文，介绍了前往美国读大学如何省钱的方式。 21. 细节理解题，答案 B。 根据文中提及的大学和省钱模式，能得知文章的受众应该是考虑出国留学的学生。 22. 推理判断题，答案 D。 根据 Look for scholarships for international students部分中的陈述 Applying for these can help reduce financial stress, but be mindful of deadlines and requirements as they vary widely.推断可知，要注 意各个学校的申请截止日期和各项要求，因为它们在各个学校间的变化和区别是很大的。 23. 推理判断题，答案 B。根据 Choose schools in regions with lower living costs 部分的陈述可知When looking at affordable education, consider schools in states like Ohio, Kansas and Alabama, where rent, food and transportation costs are often lower.

赛中，这个热爱绘画的女孩首次遭遇了创作瓶颈：当“完美”成为唯一标准时，艺术灵感反而被焦虑吞噬。她 陷入自我否定的漩涡——既害怕失败会印证自己的平庸，又难以在繁杂的思绪中找到创作方向。随着比赛截止 日期临近，同学们的欢声笑语与她的焦灼形成刺眼对比，最终导致她几乎要放弃参赛。故事通过 Sara 的经历， 揭示了完美主义的双面性：在追求卓越的过程中，如何平衡自我期待与接纳不完美，成为了青少年成长的重要 课题。当结果焦虑战胜了创作本身，真正的热情与价值反而可能湮没在过度准备中。 通过第一段和第二段的提示句可知老师了解到了 Sara 的困境，借助完美的玻璃杯破碎后被修复的过程，让 Sara 懂得不完美是成长的不可避免的一环，对不完美的接纳恰好是良性的自我接纳和自我认知。在总体思路建 立基础上，依据两个段落每段四句完整长短句式的写作指导思路，添加合理细节。第二句提示句可知破碎的被 子被修复，在第一段的结尾要描述修复的过程。第二段适当添加一个小波折让 Sara 真正的体会到不完美带来的 内心成长。在第二段结尾处进行价值升华或总结。虽然有些做作和匠气，但是主题明确鲜明更加直观。 评分标准 1）各校按照高考评分标准将作文分 5档给分 2）本篇续写只要故事完整即可，不必非要有升华部分。范文仅供参考，情节合理也可。 评分原则 1．本题总分为 25分，按 5个档次给分。
