B Inside the low lighting of Gather East Rock, the smell of coffee beans swirls (打旋) through the air. Art adorns (装点) the blue walls, but one painting stands out among the others. The painting’s name is “Mother Divine”, by the artist Sarahi Zacatelco. The mother in question is a green woman, with colorful plants adorning her head and water dripping (滴下) down her neck. In every brushstroke, Zacatelco pays homage to the man who taught her how to paint: her grandfather Agustin. Born in 1982, Zacatelco learned how to create art from her grandfather in Oaxaca. At the time, her grandfather lived with her while her mother worked. Together, the two spent hours going out to the central plaza in Juchitán, where she let her senses take over. “You can see the food, you can smell it, you can see the lady selling flowers, and you can see everything,” she recalled excitedly. When she was six years old, her grandfather gave her a piece of paper and watercolors and showed her how to put the colors on it. She hasn’t stopped making art since. Zacatelco’s grandparents made chess pieces out of rocks and wood to sell. They also made Talavera pottery (陶器) pieces, which Zacatelco described as “a Baroque tradition” that one might see in old colonial (殖民地的) homes. She no longer has any of her grandparent’s Talavera —“the tradition was lost due to being poorly paid and a lot of effort going into each piece.” In the 1990s, Zacatelco’s mother decided to move her family to give them a better life. She moved her children to Mexico City, then to the Bronx, and then to the Brownsville neighborhood in Eastern Brooklyn. The family moved to Fair Haven, where Zacatelco still lives, in 2001. She called it the perfect place to raise two boys and two girls. Her family did not keep any of her grandfather’s old art before he died. But his artistic spirit did not die with him. Zacatelco carries on his legacy today with her art. 4. How is paragraph 1 developed? A. By testing an assumption. B. By giving a description. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing a phenomenon. 5. How did Agustin inspire Zacatelco’s artistic spirit at first? A. He instructed her in watercolor painting. B. He introduced sensory experiences to her. C. He taught her to make chess pieces out of rocks. D. He asked her to observe his creation of pottery pieces. 6. Why did Zacatelco’s mother move her family? A. She wanted them to live a better life. B. She needed to change jobs frequently. C. She found their house was too small for them. D. She wanted to relieve the pain of losing a loved one. 7. What would be the best title for this text? A. Art: comfort for imperfect lives B. Baroque tradition: a dying art form C. An artist’s first teacher: her grandfather D. An artist’s moving experiences: sources of inspiration C What would you do if you were troubled by unfair hate comments online? Responding to hate comments in such situations, getting “cancelled” and the influencer industry are among the topics discussed by Secondary 4 students at Compassvale Secondary School, Singapore. The lesson on cyber wellness is part of the new Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculum that was rolled out to younger secondary students in 2021. It was extended to older secondary students in the following years. “During the CCE lessons, we look at contemporary issues under different authentic scenarios (真实情况). When faced with this kind of scenario, students get to hear what their peers feel or believe in. And then they will learn from each other how to manage situations through collective discussions,” said Madam Wan Fazithahariani, a senior teacher at the school. “Teachers just facilitate discussion and bring up some interesting points or management skills that they can use. Hopefully, when they’re out there, they will be able to manage on their own.” In a lesson, the students discussed negative comments received by an influencer. When asked how they would respond or whether they would choose to respond if they were an influencer, the class decided after some discussion that they would leave a positive comment in reply to a negative one. They then discussed their decision, how they felt about the comments, and how they would respond when their positive comment caused even more backlashes (抵制). “It was shocking to them that even though they chose a positive comment, the backlash could be quite strong. We asked them, ‘How does that make you feel? Do you regret choosing to make a positive comment?’” said Madam Wan. “And we were pleased to note even though they received negative comments, they still decided to make a positive impact. Because they knew if they chose a negative comment, they would perpetuate (使持续) negativity among the cyber community.” “Contrary to five years ago, students are now facing great pressure online,” Madam Wan said, adding that it was “imperative (迫切的)” to introduce these new situations because students must be able to address numerous challenges that previous generations of students did not encounter. 8. What does the lesson focus on? A. Preventing “cancel” culture at school. B. Giving psychological guidance to students. C. Teaching students to extend their online influence. D. Helping students handle the challenges they face online. 9. What is a feature of the lesson? A. It invites some influencers to the class. B. It is based on various real-life situations. C. It targets younger secondary students. D. It stresses outdoor interactions among students. 10. How would the students react to the backlashes that followed their positive responses? A. They would stick to positive comments. B. They would seek help from their teacher. C. They would switch to negative comments. D. They would turn a blind eye to the backlashes. 11. What is Madam Wan’s attitude toward the lesson? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Conservative. D A lack of scientific evidence has led some to question whether herbs used in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) actually relieve people’s illnesses. A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, might start to challenge that view. Scientists have developed a new tool that could be used to predict the effectiveness of these herbs. They’ve begun to confirm some of its predictions using clinical data from patients treated in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. “To our knowledge, this is the first scientific theory to explain how a traditional medicine system works,” lead study author Xiao Gan, a researcher at the Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology in China said. In the new study, the authors looked at genes (基因) thought to be responsible for causing specific symptoms (症状) of disease. They relied on an already published dataset that connected the dots between disease symptoms and the underlying genes and proteins that give rise to those illnesses. Pulling this data together, the researchers were able to score how well these herbs might relieve specific symptoms of the disease. These scores were based on how close the herbs’ target proteins were to the proteins associated with various symptoms. The authors then compared their predictions to herbs recognized by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as effective against specific disease symptoms. They also used the model to review prescriptions(处方) that patients at the Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Wuhan received while being treated for liver disease. Gan said the herbs that they identified as effective from the two data sources supported their model’s predictions. The authors also used their model to identify potential new applications for the herbs, beyond what’s already recommended by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Testing natural products in clinical trials can be costly, so it is helpful to use computer simulations (模拟) to identify potential drug targets, said Xiang-Qun Xie, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Xie pointed out more data are needed to support these findings and that it would be useful to study how TCM herbs and modern medications may interact in patients who take them at the same time. 12. What is the purpose of the new study? A. To study the side effects of TCM herbs. B. To analyze the genetic makeup of TCM herbs. C. To forecast the effectiveness of TCM herbs. D. To compare TCM herbs with modern medications. 13. How did the researchers score TCM herbs in the study? A. By analyzing their chemical makeup. B. By carrying out clinical trials on patients. C. By asking patients about their experiences of using them. D. By comparing their target proteins with disease-related proteins. 14. What can be inferred about the study from paragraph 4? A. Some TCM herbs tested by the model are rarely used. B. The model may be used to develop new medicines. C. The data sources used by the model are not big enough. D. More models should be created to review prescriptions. 15. What might Xiang-Qun Xie agree with? A. Researchers should try to cut the cost of their study. B. It is necessary to find new ways to figure out potential drug targets. C. The weaknesses of computer simulations in drug development are ignored. D. The interaction between TCM herbs and modern medications needs to be studied. 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。 Skipping meals is bad news.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 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。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024-2025学年高二下学期期中考试 英语试题 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.

A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了尖峰国家公园招聘栖息地恢复成员的条件、福利待遇、要求等。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文中的Position Overview部分的“The ACE members will directly serve within the Division of Research and Resource Management at Pinnacles National Park. The members will serve as part of a crew conducting invasive (入侵的) plant treatment and habitat restoration efforts (80%). (ACE成员将直接在尖峰国家公园的研究和资源管理部门工作。这些成员将作为一个团队的一部分进行入侵植物治疗和栖息地恢复工作（80%）。)”可知，ACE成员的主要职责是参与入侵植物处理和栖息地恢复工作。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Living Allowance (津贴)部分的“The ACE member is expected to contribute 40 hours / week and will receive a living allowance of $600/week to offset (抵消) the costs of foo and incidental expenses, distributed every two weeks. (ACE会员预计每周贡献40小时，并将获得每周600美元的生活津贴，以抵消食物和杂费的成本，每两周分发一次。)”可知，每周津贴为600美元，一个月大约有4周，所以每个月的津贴为600∗4=2,400。故选D。 【3题详解】 推理判断题。由文章Qualifications部分的“Ability to be both self-directed, and be a positive, contributing member of a group.

Art adorns (装点) the blue walls, but one painting stands out among the others. The painting’s name is “Mother Divine”, by the artist Sarahi Zacatelco. The mother in question is a green woman, with colorful plants adorning her head and water dripping (滴下) down her neck. In every brushstroke, Zacatelco pays homage to the man who taught her how to paint: her grandfather Agustin. Born in 1982, Zacatelco learned how to create art from her grandfather in Oaxaca. At the time, her grandfather lived with her while her mother worked. Together, the two spent hours going out to the central plaza in Juchitán, where she let her senses take over. “You can see the food, you can smell it, you can see the lady selling flowers, and you can see everything,” she recalled excitedly. When she was six years old, her grandfather gave her a piece of paper and watercolors and showed her how to put the colors on it. She hasn’t stopped making art since. Zacatelco’s grandparents made chess pieces out of rocks and wood to sell. They also made Talavera pottery (陶器) pieces, which Zacatelco described as “a Baroque tradition” that one might see in old colonial (殖民地的) homes. She no longer has any of her grandparent’s Talavera —“the tradition was lost due to being poorly paid and a lot of effort going into each piece.” In the 1990s, Zacatelco’s mother decided to move her family to give them a better life. She moved her children to Mexico City, then to the Bronx, and then to the Brownsville neighborhood in Eastern Brooklyn. The family moved to Fair Haven, where Zacatelco still lives, in 2001. She called it the perfect place to raise two boys and two girls. Her family did not keep any of her grandfather’s old art before he died. But his artistic spirit did not die with him. Zacatelco carries on his legacy today with her art. 4. How is paragraph 1 developed? A. By testing an assumption. B. By giving a description. C. By making a comparison. D. By analyzing a phenomenon. 5. How did Agustin inspire Zacatelco’s artistic spirit at first? A. He instructed her in watercolor painting. B. He introduced sensory experiences to her. C. He taught her to make chess pieces out of rocks. D. He asked her to observe his creation of pottery pieces. 6. Why did Zacatelco’s mother move her family? A. She wanted them to live a better life. B. She needed to change jobs frequently. C. She found their house was too small for them. D. She wanted to relieve the pain of losing a loved one. 7. What would be the best title for this text? A. Art: comfort for imperfect lives B. Baroque tradition: a dying art form C. An artist’s first teacher: her grandfather D. An artist’s moving experiences: sources of inspiration 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文，讲述了艺术家Sarahi Zacatelco的经历和艺术启发来源。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Inside the low lighting of Gather East Rock, the smell of coffee beans swirls (打旋) through the air. Art adorns (装点) the blue walls, but one painting stands out among the others. The painting’s name is “Mother Divine”, by the artist Sarahi Zacatelco. The mother in question is a green woman, with colorful plants adorning her head and water dripping (滴下) down her neck.(在Gather East Rock昏暗的灯光下，空气中弥漫着咖啡豆的香味。艺术装饰着蓝色的墙壁，但有一幅画在其他画作中脱颖而出。这幅画的名字是Mother Divine，由艺术家Sarahi Zacatelco创作。这位母亲是一个绿色的女人，她的头上装饰着五颜六色的植物，水从她的脖子上滴下来)”可知，第一段通过对Zacatelco的画作进行描述展开。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“At the time, her grandfather lived with her while her mother worked. Together, the two spent hours going out to the central plaza in Juchitán, where she let her senses take over. “You can see the food, you can smell it, you can see the lady selling flowers, and you can see everything,” she recalled excitedly.(当时，她的祖父和她住在一起，而她的母亲则在工作。两人一起花了几个小时去Juchitán的中心广场，在那里她让自己的感觉占据了上风。“你可以看到食物，你可以闻到它，你可以看到卖花的女人，你可以看到一切，”她兴奋地回忆道)”可知，一开始，Agustin带Zacatelco去进行感官体验，激发Zacatelco的艺术精神。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“In the 1990s, Zacatelco’s mother decided to move her family to give them a better life.(在20世纪90年代，Zacatelco的母亲决定搬家，让他们过上更好的生活)”可知，Zacatelco的妈妈搬家是为了给大家过上更好的生活。故选A。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“In every brushstroke, Zacatelco pays homage to the man who taught her how to paint: her grandfather Agustin.(在每一笔中，Zacatelco都向教她如何绘画的人致敬：她的祖父Agustin)”及最后一段“Her family did not keep any of her grandfather’s old art before he died. But his artistic spirit did not die with him. Zacatelco carries on his legacy today with her art.(在她祖父去世前，她的家人没有保留任何一件他的旧艺术品。但他的艺术精神并没有随着他的去世而消逝。今天，Zacatelco用她的艺术继承了他的遗产)”及全文内容可知，本文介绍了艺术家Sarahi Zacatelco来自祖父的艺术启发，这对她来说是一段感人的经历，是灵感的源泉。D选项“艺术家的感人经历：灵感的源泉”适合作为最佳标题。故选D。 C What would you do if you were troubled by unfair hate comments online? Responding to hate comments in such situations, getting “cancelled” and the influencer industry are among the topics discussed by Secondary 4 students at Compassvale Secondary School, Singapore. The lesson on cyber wellness is part of the new Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) curriculum that was rolled out to younger secondary students in 2021. It was extended to older secondary students in the following years. “During the CCE lessons, we look at contemporary issues under different authentic scenarios (真实情况). When faced with this kind of scenario, students get to hear what their peers feel or believe in. And then they will learn from each other how to manage situations through collective discussions,” said Madam Wan Fazithahariani, a senior teacher at the school. “Teachers just facilitate discussion and bring up some interesting points or management skills that they can use. Hopefully, when they’re out there, they will be able to manage on their own.” In a lesson, the students discussed negative comments received by an influencer. When asked how they would respond or whether they would choose to respond if they were an influencer, the class decided after some discussion that they would leave a positive comment in reply to a negative one. They then discussed their decision, how they felt about the comments, and how they would respond when their positive comment caused even more backlashes (抵制). “It was shocking to them that even though they chose a positive comment, the backlash could be quite strong. We asked them, ‘How does that make you feel? Do you regret choosing to make a positive comment?’” said Madam Wan. “And we were pleased to note even though they received negative comments, they still decided to make a positive impact. Because they knew if they chose a negative comment, they would perpetuate (使持续) negativity among the cyber community.” “Contrary to five years ago, students are now facing great pressure online,” Madam Wan said, adding that it was “imperative (迫切的)” to introduce these new situations because students must be able to address numerous challenges that previous generations of students did not encounter. 8. What does the lesson focus on? A. Preventing “cancel” culture at school. B. Giving psychological guidance to students. C. Teaching students to extend their online influence. D. Helping students handle the challenges they face online. 9. What is a feature of the lesson? A. It invites some influencers to the class. B. It is based on various real-life situations. C It targets younger secondary students. D. It stresses outdoor interactions among students. 10. How would the students react to the backlashes that followed their positive responses? A. They would stick to positive comments. B. They would seek help from their teacher. C. They would switch to negative comments. D. They would turn a blind eye to the backlashes. 11. What is Madam Wan’s attitude toward the lesson? A. Worried. B. Doubtful. C. Positive. D. Conservative. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新加坡一所中学为学生开设的一门课程，这门课程有关网络健康，旨在促进学生应对网上各种问题的能力，帮助他们应对前几代学生没有遇到的许多挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“What would you do if you were troubled by unfair hate comments online?

(我们很高兴地注意到，即使他们收到了负面的评论，他们仍然决定做出积极的影响)”可知，面对他们给出积极回复后遇到的抵制，学生们依然坚持给出积极的评论。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Contrary to five years ago, students are now facing great pressure online,” Madam Wan said, adding that it was “imperative (迫切的)” to introduce these new situations because students must be able to address numerous challenges that previous generations of students did not encounter. (“与五年前不同，现在的学生在网上面临着巨大的压力，”Wan女士说。她补充说，引入这些新情况是“迫切的”，因为学生必须能够应对前几代学生没有遇到的许多挑战)”可知，她认为这门课程契合当前学生身处的时代环境，能帮助他们应对前所未有的挑战。由此推知，她对这门课程持积极的态度。故选C项。 D A lack of scientific evidence has led some to question whether herbs used in traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) actually relieve people’s illnesses. A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, might start to challenge that view. Scientists have developed a new tool that could be used to predict the effectiveness of these herbs. They’ve begun to confirm some of its predictions using clinical data from patients treated in a traditional Chinese medicine hospital. “To our knowledge, this is the first scientific theory to explain how a traditional medicine system works,” lead study author Xiao Gan, a researcher at the Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology in China said. In the new study, the authors looked at genes (基因) thought to be responsible for causing specific symptoms (症状) of disease. They relied on an already published dataset that connected the dots between disease symptoms and the underlying genes and proteins that give rise to those illnesses. Pulling this data together, the researchers were able to score how well these herbs might relieve specific symptoms of the disease. These scores were based on how close the herbs’ target proteins were to the proteins associated with various symptoms. The authors then compared their predictions to herbs recognized by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as effective against specific disease symptoms. They also used the model to review prescriptions(处方) that patients at the Hubei Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Wuhan received while being treated for liver disease. Gan said the herbs that they identified as effective from the two data sources supported their model’s predictions. The authors also used their model to identify potential new applications for the herbs, beyond what’s already recommended by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Testing natural products in clinical trials can be costly, so it is helpful to use computer simulations (模拟) to identify potential drug targets, said Xiang-Qun Xie, a professor at the University of Pittsburgh. Xie pointed out more data are needed to support these findings and that it would be useful to study how TCM herbs and modern medications may interact in patients who take them at the same time. 12. What is the purpose of the new study? A. To study the side effects of TCM herbs. B. To analyze the genetic makeup of TCM herbs. C. To forecast the effectiveness of TCM herbs. D. To compare TCM herbs with modern medications. 13. How did the researchers score TCM herbs in the study? A. By analyzing their chemical makeup. B. By carrying out clinical trials on patients. C. By asking patients about their experiences of using them. D. By comparing their target proteins with disease-related proteins. 14. What can be inferred about the study from paragraph 4? A. Some TCM herbs tested by the model are rarely used. B. The model may be used to develop new medicines. C. The data sources used by the model are not big enough. D. More models should be created to review prescriptions. 15. What might Xiang-Qun Xie agree with? A. Researchers should try to cut the cost of their study. B. It is necessary to find new ways to figure out potential drug targets. C. The weaknesses of computer simulations in drug development are ignored. D. The interaction between TCM herbs and modern medications needs to be studied. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一项新研究，科学家们开发了一种新工具，可以预测中药的有效性。研究人员通过已有的基因数据来给中药打分，评估其缓解疾病特定症状的能力，并将预测结果与中国药典中认可的有效草药以及患者的处方进行对比，发现两者相吻合。同时，文章还提到利用计算机模拟来确定潜在药物靶点的方法，并指出需要更多数据来支持研究，以及研究中药和现代药物相互作用的必要性。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A new study, published in the journal Science Advances, might start to challenge that view. Scientists have developed a new tool that could be used to predict the effectiveness of these herbs.(《科学进展》杂志上发布的一项新研究可能会开始挑战这种观点。科学家们开发了一种新工具，可以用来预测这些草药的效果)”可知，新研究的目的是预测中药的有效性。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Pulling this data together, the researchers were able to score how well these herbs might relieve specific symptoms of the disease. These scores were based on how close the herbs’ target proteins were to the proteins associated with various symptoms.(通过整理这些数据，研究人员能够评估这些草药缓解疾病特定症状的效果如何。这些评分基于草药的目标蛋白与各种症状相关蛋白的接近程度)”可知，研究者通过对中药的目标蛋白与疾病相关蛋白的接近程度进行比较来对它们进行评分。故选D项。 14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The authors also used their model to identify potential new applications for the herbs, beyond what’s already recommended by the Chinese Pharmacopoeia.(作者还利用他们的模型来确定草药除《中国药典》已推荐的应用之外的潜在新应用)”可知，研究者利用这一模型不仅验证了《中国药典》中记载的草药效用，还进一步发现了草药可能的新用途。由此推知，该模型在开发新药物方面的潜在应用价值。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Xie pointed out more data are needed to support these findings and that it would be useful to study how TCM herbs and modern medications may interact in patients who take them at the same time.(Xie指出，需要更多的数据来支持这些发现，并且研究中药和现代药物在患者同时服用时如何相互作用将是有益的)”可知， Xiang-Qun Xie认为需要研究中药和现代药物之间的相互作用。故选D项。 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。 Skipping meals is bad news.

I said no without thinking. I did not love writing. My family came from Brazil, so English was only my second language. Writing was so difficult and painful for me that my teacher had allowed me to present my paper on the sinking of the Titanic by acting out a play, where I played all the parts. No one laughed harder than he did. So, why did he suddenly force me to do something at which I was sure to fail? His reply: “Because I love your stories. If you’re willing to apply yourself, I think you have a good shot at this.” Encouraged by his words, I agreed to give it a try. I chose Paul Revere’s horse as my subject. Paul Revere was a silversmith (银匠) in Boston who rode a horse at night on April 18, 1775 to Lexington to warn people that British soldiers were coming. My story would come straight from the horse’s mouth. Not a brilliant idea, but funny; and unlikely to be anyone else’s choice. What did the horse think, as he sped through the night? Did he get tired? Have doubts? Did he want to quit? I sympathized immediately. I got tired. I had doubts. I wanted to quit. But, like Revere’s horse, I kept going. I worked hard. I checked my spelling. I asked my older sister to correct my grammar. I checked out a half dozen books on Paul Revere from the library. I even read a few of them. When I handed in the essay to my teacher, he read it, laughed out loud, and said, “Great. Now, write it again.” I wrote it again, and again and again. When I finally finished it, the thought of winning had given way to the enjoyment of writing. If I didn’t win, I wouldn’t care. 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。 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few weeks later, when I almost forgot the contest, there came the news. I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. I was so happy to hear the news that I immediately shared it with my teacher. “I knew you’d win! I am proud of you. You made it!” he said excitedly. Then came the big day. When I was invited to the stage to receive the award, I expressed my thanks to my teacher. I said, “It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher. Without your recognition and guidance, I couldn’t have written this article. Again thank you very much!” I went to my teacher’s office after the award presentation. My teacher was waiting for me. Holding my hands, he said “Congratulations! You are a good writer, so keep writing.” “You know I didn’t like writing before, but now I am crazy about it! I will try my best to create good works.” I said seriously. Since then, I have written many good works and now I am a famous writer. I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者上中学的时候，社会学老师邀请作者参加一个写作比赛。作者不喜欢写作，于是想都没想就拒绝了。但是在老师的鼓励下，作者同意试一试。作者在写作过程中虽然很累，但是没有放弃，坚持下来了。在作者最终完成写作时，作者感到写作让他很快乐，他已经不在乎输赢了。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几个星期后，当我几乎忘记比赛的时候，传来了消息。”和第二段首句“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者获得比赛一等奖，在颁奖典礼上作者表达了对社会老师的感激。 ②由第二段首句内容“颁奖后我去了老师的办公室。”可知，第二段可描写老师鼓励作者继续写作，自此作者坚持写作取得了成功，作者将这一切归功于自己的老师。 2.续写线索：比赛消息传来——作者获奖——高兴——颁奖典礼感谢老师——颁奖后来到老师办公室——老师告诉作者坚持写作——作者表达了对写作的喜爱——作者写作取得了成功——感激老师 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①告知：inform/tell ②成功做到：make it/succeed ③表达：express/convey 情绪类 ①高兴的：happy/glad ②激动地：excitedly/with excitement 【点睛】[高分句型1] I was informed that I won the first prize in the writing contest and that there would be an award presentation in two days. （运用了由连接词that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] It’s you who make me fall in love with writing, my social studies teacher.（运用了强调句） [高分句型3] I owe my success to my social teacher who is a beacon in my life on the road to writing.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
