Check out four of the best ones and spring into action! Be My Eyes This app connects visually impaired people in need of some help with sighted people with a few minutes of spare time to offer through video calls. The help needed may be something like finding a missing object in the home. This app is available in over 150 countries and in more than 150 languages. Volunteers register and detail which languages they speak. When someone needs help, a message reminder appears on their device. Zooniverse Want to help with cutting edge global research? Zooniverse is an app with millions of registered volunteers that lets you become a citizen researcher! Help professional scientific researchers through your mobile device or the companion website. Global volunteers taking part in this exciting crowd sourcing project typically don’t have a scientific background but their contribution is highly valued. My Selfless Act This is a social networking site and app promoting the idea of giving back to the community through volunteering. It offers information on local volunteering opportunities globally and encourages the sharing of ideas and activities. Aloe Bud Created by someone who struggles with his mental illness, routine and remembering daily self-care. Aloe Bud is a welcome and simple “self-care pocket companion” app. It gently reminds users about self-care activities in physical, mental and emotional needs. These reminders relate to anything from drinking enough water to taking screen breaks to maintaining connections. 1. What is Zooniverse intended to do? A. Help with disabled people. B. Provide access to research. C. Share community resources. D. Organize self-care activities. 2. What is probably the major concern of users who choose Aloe Bud? A. Personal well-being. B.

B People have many different ways to relax during break time at work or school. Smartphones are probably the number one choice for a quick mental vacation. Looking at your cellphone may damage your mental power, according to a recent psychological study from Rutgers University in the United States. For the study, more than 400 students were asked to finish a set of 20 word puzzles. The students were divided into three groups. One group was allowed to take a break and use cellphones to buy things online. The second group was asked to have a rest and buy things using a computer. The last group didn’t take any break at all. Interestingly, the group that used their cellphones during the break went back to work feeling the most tired and least motivated to continue. They also had the hardest time solving the remaining word puzzles. The cellphone group took 19 percent longer to finish the rest of the task, and solved 22 percent fewer problems than those in the other break conditions combined. Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break—but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks. “Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, access to ever-refilling information and more, in ways that are different from how we use other screens like computers, and laptops,” Kurtzberg told Science Daily. So, during your next break, try putting your smartphone way. Go out for a walk, get to know your classmates or even take a nap. You may be surprised by the results! 4. What did the study find about using cellphones during breaks? A. It could affect one’s relationships with others B. It could reduce one’s ability to solve problems C. It could make people more motivated at work D. It could be beneficial both physically and mentally 5. What can we learn about cellphones from Kurtzberg’s words? A. They have become a necessary part of people’s lives. B. Their negative influence is almost impossible to avoid. C. They may make it hard for people to concentrate on work. D. They may influence people in the same way as computers. 6. Why does looking at cellphones during a break cause increasing levels of distraction? A. It makes people sleepy. B. It does harm to peoples brains. C. It activates thoughts of using cellphones. D. It reminds people of their unhappy experiences. 7. What does the author suggest people do during break time? A. Turn off their cellphones. B. Keep their cellphones out of sight. C. Keep their cellphones face down. D. Replace cellphones with laptops. C A tree planting initiative in Kenya has seen over 30,000 trees being planted. The Green Generation Initiative is a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to counter climate change and the reduction in forest in the East African nation since 2016. Founded by climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti, the initiative's primary focus is on developing young climate activists through environmental education in schools and addressing food insecurity in the region through planting fruit trees. Since its foundation, over 30,000 trees have been planted in Kenya, while thousands of school children have not just planted trees but adopted them to ensure that young people learn the importance of acting as a guardian of the health of the environment. The trees have recorded a survival rate of over 98 percent, as they continue growing from young trees to maturity. Speaking to world leaders at the recent UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26)，Elizabeth issued a serious warning about the threat of climate change: “Over two million of Kenyans are facing climate­related starvation. In 2025, half of the world's population will be facing water shortage. By the time I'm 50, the climate crisis will displace over 80 million people in sub­Saharan Africa alone.” Elizabeth said, “I have been doing what I can.Inspired by the great Wangari Maathai, I founded a tree growing initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans. So far, we have grown 30，000 fruit trees, providing desperately needed nutrition for thousands of children.” “Every day we see that when we look after the trees, they look after us. We are the adults on this Earth right now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the children have food and water, ”she added. 8. What is the initiative intended for? A. Making policies. B. Raising money. C. Educating adults. D. Fighting climate change. 9. What crisis are Kenyans encountering at present? A. Hunger. B. Sickness. C. Water shortage. D. Economic risks. 10. What has been achieved since 2016 in Kenya? A. Over 3,000 trees have been planted. B. Green awareness has been raised. C. Over 80 million people have been saved. D. School education has been guaranteed. 11. Which of the following can best describe Elizabeth Wathuti? A. Friendly and talented. B. Caring and responsible. C. Honest and determined. D. Ambitious and humorous. D It is a popular viewpoint that time spent online is bad for our health because surfing the Internet or checking our phones sometimes takes us away from activities which are considered healthier, such as playing sports or socializing. As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being. However, a new global study has found a surprising answer: The Internet might be good for you. The University of Oxford researchers studied data on the psychological (心理的) well-being of over 2 million people across 168 countries between 2006 and 2021. They looked at 8 indicators (标志) of well-being among the individuals, who were aged 15 to 99, including life satisfaction, daily negative and positive experiences and physical health. The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people. Despite the study’s overall positive findings, however, the link between Internet access and positive well-being was fainter for young women. While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women. A systematic review of research into the topic found higher levels of social media use were connected with worse mental health outcomes, and higher levels of social media use were connected with an increased risk of internalizing and externalizing difficulties among youths, especially females. The same report also noted that the impacts of social media on mental health are complex (复杂的), as different goals are served by different behaviors, and different outcomes are produced by different patterns of use. All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. 12. What did the University of Oxford researchers study? A. The influence of social media on physical health. B The mental health of people in different countries. C The effects of outdoor activities on physical health. D. The relationship between Internet use and mental health. 13. What does the underlined word “fainter” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Weaker. B. Closer. C. More obvious. D. More complex. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. The benefits of social media for women. B. The effects of social media on youths. C. The increased risks of human socialization. D. The difficulties of research on human connection. 15. Which part of a magazine is the text probably taken from? A. Sport and health. B. Economy and life. C. Technology and society. D. Philosophy and psychology. 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。 Why are people taking pictures of their faces, their hobbies and their food?

My voice would shake, my hands would sweat, and my mind would go blank. During a class presentation on climate change, I stumbled(结结巴巴)over my words and froze halfway through. A few students giggled, and my face turned bright red. Afterward, my teacher, Mrs. Lee, pulled me aside. “You have great ideas,” she said, “but you need to trust yourself.” A week later, she announced a school-wide speech competition. To my horror, she signed me up. “Why me?” I protested. “I’ll embarrass myself again!” She smiled. “Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward despite it. Give it a try.” Reluctantly, I chose a topic close to my heart: “Small Acts of Kindness.” For weeks, I practiced daily—in front of my mirror, my dog, and even my little brother. My hands trembled during rehearsals, and I often forgot lines. Once, I tripped over a chair while practicing, but my brother clapped and said, “Do it again!” I recorded myself, cringed(畏缩)at every mistake, and tried again. Slowly, my confidence grew, though doubt still whispered: What if I freeze? What if no one cares? On the day of the competition, my legs felt like jelly. Backstage, I held my notes tightly, my heart pounding like a drum. When my name was called, the spotlight blinded me as I stepped onto the stage. For a second, panic surged—but then I spotted Mrs. Lee in the front row, nodding encouragingly. Her calm smile anchored me. I took a deep breath and began speaking. My voice wavered at first, but as I shared stories of kindness—a stranger helping my lost grandmother, classmates cheering for a struggling runner—my words flowed. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： The moment I finished my speech, the auditorium fell silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that afternoon, Mrs. Lee handed me a small envelope. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 海南州第三民族高级中学 高二年级英语学科2025年春季学期期中考试试题（卷） 第一节 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，你将有10秒钟的时间回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The cellphone group took 19 percent longer to finish the rest of the task, and solved 22 percent fewer problems than those in the other break conditions combined.(有趣的是，在休息时间使用手机的那组人回去工作时感觉最累，也最没有动力继续工作。他们解决剩下的字谜也最困难。使用手机的小组完成剩下的任务要多花19%的时间，解决的问题比其他休息条件下的小组总和还要少22%)”可知，研究发现休息时间使用手机会降低解决问题的能力。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Terri Kurtzberg, co-author of the study, explained that they assumed looking at cellphones during a break would be no different from any other break—but instead, the phone may cause increasing levels of distraction that make it difficult to return focused attention to work tasks.(这项研究的合著者Terri Kurtzberg解释说，他们原以为休息时看手机和其他休息没什么区别，但事实上，手机可能会导致更多的分心，使人难以将注意力重新集中到工作任务上)”以及第五段中““Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, access to ever-refilling information and more, in ways that are different from how we use other screens like computers, and laptops, ” Kurtzberg told Science Daily.(Kurtzberg在接受《科学日报》采访时表示：“手机可能会产生这种影响，因为即使只是看到手机，也会让人想到查看信息、与人联系、获取不断补充的信息等等，这与我们使用电脑、笔记本电脑等其他屏幕的方式不同。”)”可推知，从Kurtzberg的话中我们可以了解到手机可能会使人们难以集中精力工作。故选C。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中““Cellphones may have this effect because even just seeing your phone activates thoughts of checking messages, connecting with people, access to ever-refilling information and more, in ways that are different from how we use other screens like computers, and laptops, ” Kurtzberg told Science Daily.(Kurtzberg在接受《科学日报》采访时表示：“手机可能会产生这种影响，因为即使只是看到手机，也会让人想到查看信息、与人联系、获取不断补充的信息等等，这与我们使用电脑、笔记本电脑等其他屏幕的方式不同。”)”可知，休息时看手机会让人分心是因为它会激活人们使用手机的想法。故选C。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“So, during your next break, try putting your smartphone way. Go out for a walk, get to know your classmates or even take a nap. You may be surprised by the results!(所以，下次休息时，试着把你的智能手机收起来。出去散散步，认识一下你的同学，甚至小睡一会儿。你可能会对结果感到惊讶！)”可知，作者建议人们在休息时间把手机收起来，即把手机放在看不见的地方。故选B。 C A tree planting initiative in Kenya has seen over 30,000 trees being planted. The Green Generation Initiative is a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to counter climate change and the reduction in forest in the East African nation since 2016. Founded by climate activist Elizabeth Wathuti, the initiative's primary focus is on developing young climate activists through environmental education in schools and addressing food insecurity in the region through planting fruit trees. Since its foundation, over 30,000 trees have been planted in Kenya, while thousands of school children have not just planted trees but adopted them to ensure that young people learn the importance of acting as a guardian of the health of the environment. The trees have recorded a survival rate of over 98 percent, as they continue growing from young trees to maturity. Speaking to world leaders at the recent UN Climate Change Conference in Glasgow (COP26)，Elizabeth issued a serious warning about the threat of climate change: “Over two million of Kenyans are facing climate­related starvation. In 2025, half of the world's population will be facing water shortage. By the time I'm 50, the climate crisis will displace over 80 million people in sub­Saharan Africa alone.” Elizabeth said, “I have been doing what I can.Inspired by the great Wangari Maathai, I founded a tree growing initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans. So far, we have grown 30，000 fruit trees, providing desperately needed nutrition for thousands of children.” “Every day we see that when we look after the trees, they look after us. We are the adults on this Earth right now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the children have food and water, ”she added. 8. What is the initiative intended for? A. Making policies. B. Raising money. C. Educating adults. D. Fighting climate change. 9. What crisis are Kenyans encountering at present? A. Hunger. B. Sickness. C. Water shortage. D. Economic risks. 10 What has been achieved since 2016 in Kenya? A. Over 3,000 trees have been planted. B. Green awareness has been raised. C. Over 80 million people have been saved. D. School education has been guaranteed. 11. Which of the following can best describe Elizabeth Wathuti? A. Friendly and talented. B. Caring and responsible. C. Honest and determined. D. Ambitious and humorous. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。气候活动家Elizabeth Wathuti于2016年创立了“绿色一代倡议”。自成立以来，它已经在肯尼亚种植了3万多棵树。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The Green Generation Initiative is a Kenyan charity that has been planting trees to counter climate change and the reduction in forest in the East African nation since 2016.”（绿色一代倡议是一家肯尼亚慈善机构，自2016年以来一直在植树，以应对气候变化和东非国家森林的减少。）可知，这项倡议是为了应对气候变化和森林减少而创立的。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Over two million of Kenyans are facing climate­related starvation.”（200多万肯尼亚人正面临与气候有关的饥饿。）可知，肯尼亚现今面临的问题是与气候相关的饥饿问题。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Since its foundation, over 30,000 trees have been planted in Kenya, while thousands of school children have not just planted trees but adopted them to ensure that young people learn the importance of acting as a guardian of the health of the environment.”（自基金会成立以来，在肯尼亚种植了3万多棵树，数千名学童不仅种植了树木，而且还收养了树木，以确保年轻人了解作为环境健康守护者的重要性。）可知，自2016年以来，肯尼亚年轻人的环保意识有所提高。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I founded a tree growing initiative that enhances food security for young Kenyans.”（我创立了一个树木种植计划，旨在提高肯尼亚年轻人的粮食安全。）可知，Elizabeth Wathuti关心肯尼亚的年轻一代。再结合最后一段中的“We are the adults on this Earth right now, and it is our responsibility to ensure that the children have food and water.”（我们现在是地球上的成年人，确保孩子们有食物和水是我们的责任。）可知，Elizabeth Wathuti是一个有责任心的人。由此可推知，Elizabeth Wathuti是一个有爱心和责任心的人。故选B。 D It is a popular viewpoint that time spent online is bad for our health because surfing the Internet or checking our phones sometimes takes us away from activities which are considered healthier, such as playing sports or socializing. As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being. However, a new global study has found a surprising answer: The Internet might be good for you. The University of Oxford researchers studied data on the psychological (心理的) well-being of over 2 million people across 168 countries between 2006 and 2021. They looked at 8 indicators (标志) of well-being among the individuals, who were aged 15 to 99, including life satisfaction, daily negative and positive experiences and physical health. The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people. Despite the study’s overall positive findings, however, the link between Internet access and positive well-being was fainter for young women. While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women. A systematic review of research into the topic found higher levels of social media use were connected with worse mental health outcomes, and higher levels of social media use were connected with an increased risk of internalizing and externalizing difficulties among youths, especially females. The same report also noted that the impacts of social media on mental health are complex (复杂的), as different goals are served by different behaviors, and different outcomes are produced by different patterns of use. All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. 12. What did the University of Oxford researchers study? A. The influence of social media on physical health. B. The mental health of people in different countries. C. The effects of outdoor activities on physical health. D. The relationship between Internet use and mental health. 13. What does the underlined word “fainter” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Weaker. B. Closer. C. More obvious. D. More complex. 14. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A The benefits of social media for women. B. The effects of social media on youths. C. The increased risks of human socialization. D. The difficulties of research on human connection. 15. Which part of a magazine is the text probably taken from? A. Sport and health. B. Economy and life. C. Technology and society. D. Philosophy and psychology. 【答案】12 D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述互联网对幸福感的影响复杂，社交媒体对青少年利弊并存，需理性使用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The researchers applied well-being indicators to test the relationship between Internet use and well-being outcomes. They found that Internet access was related to positive well-being among some people. (研究人员运用幸福感指标来测试互联网使用与幸福感结果之间的关系。他们发现，对一些人来说，上网与积极的幸福感有关。)”可知，研究通过分析互联网接入与幸福感指标的关系，探讨互联网使用对心理健康的影响，即网络使用与心理健康的关系。故选D。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Despite the study’s overall positive findings (尽管这项研究总体上是积极的)”及“While some links between Internet connectivity and well-being were positive, some links were negative — with the most observed among women aged 15 to 24 years old. The researchers state that many studies have shown social media use to be connected with greater depression, especially among young women. (虽然互联网连接和幸福感之间有一些积极的联系，但也有一些消极的联系——在15至24岁的女性中观察到的联系最多。研究人员表示，许多研究表明，社交媒体的使用与更大的抑郁有关，尤其是在年轻女性中。)”可知，前文指出互联网连接与幸福感之间有一些积极的联系，而后文补充年轻女性使用社交媒体更易抑郁，二者形成转折对比，由此推断互联网连接与年轻女性的幸福感之间关系不大，由此推断划线单词的含义是“关联性较弱，并无明显联系”。故选A。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. (总而言之，社交媒体的使用对年轻人的健康既有好处也有风险，所以青少年学生尤其应该正确对待它。)”可知，最后一段聚焦社交媒体对青少年（尤其是女性）心理健康的影响，强调利弊并存，即最后一段主要讲述社交媒体对年轻人的影响。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“As the digital economy develops, such behavior is often linked to reduced well-being. (随着数字经济的发展，这种行为往往与幸福感下降有关。)”以及最后一段“All in all, social media use offers both benefits and risks to the health of young people, so particularly, teenage students should treat it properly. (总而言之，社交媒体的使用对年轻人的健康既有好处也有风险，所以青少年学生尤其应该正确对待它。)”可知，全文围绕互联网技术对心理健康和社会行为的影响展开，由此推断本文主要出自杂志中技术与社会部分。故选C。 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。 Why are people taking pictures of their faces, their hobbies and their food?

Why do we capture every single moment?(为什么人们要拍他们的脸、他们的爱好和他们的食物? 为什么我们要捕捉每一个瞬间?)”提出了问题，可推知下文需要对问题进行回答，F项“我真的不能给你答案，因为我也喜欢拍所有东西的照片”是对上文问题的回答，符合句意。故选F项。 【17题详解】 下文“Every single one of us can get started with this wonderful hobby, no matter if your goal is to sell your photographs or just to keep them for your own viewing pleasure.(我们每个人都可以开始这个很棒的爱好，不管你的目的是卖出你的照片，还是仅仅为了自己的观赏乐趣而保留它们)”可知，每个人不管出于什么目的都能开始拍照这个爱好，选项E“与其他形式的视觉艺术相比，你不需要任何特殊的才能”和下文构成内容上顺承的关系，说明拍照不需要特殊技能只要爱好它即可。故选E项。 【18题详解】 上文“Every picture you take is a personal story. There is no painting without context (背景). However, unlike a painting, you don’t need to spend hours of your time on it.(你所拍摄的每一张照片都是一个个人的故事。这不需要背景。然而，不像一幅画，你不需要花几个小时在上面)”可知，拍照不会费太多时间就可以记录个人的故事，B项“这是一种通过不同的照片来表达自己的方式”是对上文内容的解释，说明你拍的每一张照片都是在讲述自己的故事，换句话说拍照是表达自我的方式。故选B项。 【19题详解】 上文“If you prefer to share your pictures with the world, you can also get immediate feedback (反馈). (如果你喜欢与世界分享你的照片，你也可以立即得到反馈)”和D项“带摄像头的手机可以让我们在几秒钟内上传照片”构成顺承关系，根据常识，推断出我们想与世界分享照片又能得到快速反馈的手段就是上传照片。故选D项。 【20题详解】 上文“The most amazing thing for me is without question the ability to capture every single click of a button.(毫无疑问，对我来说最神奇的事情就是只需要点击一下按钮，就能够捕捉到生活的每一个瞬间)”可推知下文要介绍捕捉生活瞬间的意义，C项“这使我能够记住每一次发生的经历”中的“this”指代的是上文中的“the ability to capture every single click of a button”，C项和上文构成因果关系，表明因为拍照可以捕捉生活瞬间产生的结果就是使我记住每一次的经历。故选C项。 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 On a rainy afternoon, I sat in a cozy coffee shop, enjoying a Latte.

My voice would shake, my hands would sweat, and my mind would go blank. During a class presentation on climate change, I stumbled(结结巴巴)over my words and froze halfway through. A few students giggled, and my face turned bright red. Afterward, my teacher, Mrs. Lee, pulled me aside. “You have great ideas,” she said, “but you need to trust yourself.” A week later, she announced a school-wide speech competition. To my horror, she signed me up. “Why me?” I protested. “I’ll embarrass myself again!” She smiled. “Courage isn’t the absence of fear—it’s moving forward despite it. Give it a try.” Reluctantly, I chose a topic close to my heart: “Small Acts of Kindness.” For weeks, I practiced daily—in front of my mirror, my dog, and even my little brother. My hands trembled during rehearsals, and I often forgot lines. Once, I tripped over a chair while practicing, but my brother clapped and said, “Do it again!” I recorded myself, cringed(畏缩)at every mistake, and tried again. Slowly, my confidence grew, though doubt still whispered: What if I freeze? What if no one cares? On the day of the competition, my legs felt like jelly. Backstage, I held my notes tightly, my heart pounding like a drum. When my name was called, the spotlight blinded me as I stepped onto the stage. For a second, panic surged—but then I spotted Mrs. Lee in the front row, nodding encouragingly. Her calm smile anchored me. I took a deep breath and began speaking. My voice wavered at first, but as I shared stories of kindness—a stranger helping my lost grandmother, classmates cheering for a struggling runner—my words flowed. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1： The moment I finished my speech, the auditorium fell silent. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Later that afternoon, Mrs. Lee handed me a small envelope. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】The moment I finished my speech, the auditorium fell silent. For an agonizing second, I feared the worst. Had I bombed? Then, like a sudden thunderclap, applause erupted. The audience rose to their feet, cheering and whistling. I was stunned. Classmates I barely knew smiled and gave me thumbs - up. Some even rushed forward to congratulate me. Overwhelmed with relief and joy, I realized that my hard work had paid off. I had faced my fear and triumphed. Later that afternoon, Mrs. Lee handed me a small envelope. Inside was a note that read, “I knew you could do it. Your courage and the power of your words are inspiring. Keep believing in yourself.” Along with the note was a medal. “You won second place,” she said, beaming with pride. Holding the medal, I felt a new - found sense of self - assurance. Mrs. Lee’s faith in me had been the push I needed. From that day on, I was no longer the girl who trembled at the thought of public speaking. I was a conqueror, ready to face any challenge that came my way. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在高中时期从害怕公开演讲到通过努力和老师的鼓励在学校演讲比赛中取得成功的经历，展现了个人在面对恐惧、克服困难、实现自我成长的过程。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我演讲一结束，礼堂里就安静了下来。”以及第二段首句内容“那天下午晚些时候，李老师递给我一个小信封。”可知，第一段可描写让作者意外的是，礼堂里爆发出雷鸣般的掌声，作者的演讲大获成功。 ②由第二段首句内容“那天下午晚些时候，李老师递给我一个小信封。”可知，第二段可描写李老师为作者感到自豪，而作者也拥有了自信。 2.续写线索：演讲一结束，礼堂里就安静下来——作者心下一沉，觉得自己搞砸了——然后，突然之间，礼堂里爆发出雷鸣般的掌声——作者惊呆了，原来自己的演讲非常成功——作者意识到努力终有回报——后来，李老师给了作者一个信封——作者发现里面有一张便条，李老师说自己就知道作者一定会成功，让作者相信自己——信封里还有一枚奖章，摸着奖章，作者感受到了一种新的自信——从那天起，作者不再是那个一想到公开演讲就会颤抖的女孩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①意识到：realize/ come to know ②信任：believe in/ trust ③颤抖：tremble/ shake 情绪类 ①惊讶的：stunned/ astonished ②高兴：joy/ delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】Classmates I barely knew smiled and gave me thumbs - up.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】From that day on, I was no longer the girl who trembled at the thought of public speaking.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
