B The concept of a milkman dropping off farm-fresh milk and cream on the doorstep seems old-fashioned, but it’s still something that happens in villages and small towns around the world. One such village is the centuries-old city of St. Albans in England. For the past 47 years, Michael Tutton has filled that role. Each day, “Mick the Milk” was up before dawn to load his milk float, and then he’d visit with residents as he made his rounds. While he delivered milk, eggs, and other necessary items, he also remembered every family’s milestone. If someone had a birthday, he left a small piece of candy or special yogurt on their door. He loved doing charity runs and other events, raising thousands of dollars over the years that went right back into the community. In 2023, his milk float was damaged beyond repair, and he decided it was time to retire. Naturally, his beloved residents couldn’t let him go without a proper send-off! Without telling him, they planned a big party for him. Kate Crick, who organized Tutton’s retirement party, said, “We had Tutton delivering our milk for more than 45 years. He knows everyone and even remembers all the children from the streets.” Tutton has never learned to drive, but that has never stopped him. He would walk or get the bus from Welwyn to St. Albans, just to pick up the milk float and deliver milk to his loyal customers. Tutton was moved by the support of his community, and sad to bid farewell to a job that had meant much more to him than income. “It was amazing and very emotional. I’m definitely going to keep in touch with everybody I can,” he continued. “My heart is there.” It’s clear that this milkman made a huge impact on the world around him, simply by being kind, caring, and considerate of others. Congratulations on nearly 50 years on the job, Tutton! 4 What can we know about Michael Tutton from paragraph 2? A. He raised money by selling milk. B. He started the delivery job in his forties. C. He had a flexible work schedule. D. He got along well with the locals. 5. What made Michael Tutton decide to retire? A. His weak physical condition. B. Increasing delivery distance. C. His broken delivery float. D. Low demand for milk delivery. 6. How did Michael Tutton feel on the day of his retirement? A. Touched and sorrowful. B. Excited and hopeful. C. Anxious but relieved. D. Disappointed but peaceful. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show a milkman’s devotion and kindness. B. To introduce the influence of milk delivery. C. To state milkmen’s challenges in rural areas. D. To record a milkman’s retirement party. C Having been a taxi driver for 28 years, Anthony was accustomed to the “traditional” means of picking up passengers — either by waiting at taxi stands, or by picking up riders hailing cabs on the street. This had served him well-until the appearance of ride-hailing applications. While younger taxi drivers are generally more willing to adapt to new technology such as ride-hailing applications, not all taxi drivers are open to it. Older drivers are generally more accustomed to “old-school” methods. “Customers always like to have something new... but for older taxi drivers, they will say the new model is difficult to accept,” said Anthony. “Due to increased competition from the ride-hailing platforms, many taxi drivers saw a decline in customers and their income took a drastic (猛烈的) hit.” The number of taxis fell by about half between 2014 and 2022. Over the same period, the number of private hire vehicles increased by more than threefold. It is not just the older taxi drivers who are disadvantaged. Older commuters have also been forced to play the waiting game as taxi numbers decreased. Many of them prefer to wait at taxi stands. They have had to tolerate longer waiting times in the past few months just for a vacant taxi to pick them up. Ms. Lim, a 63-year-old woman, takes taxis for crrands (差事) sometimes. “Sometimes there are just no taxis passing by, so I will wait longer than one hour,” she said. “I know ride-hailing is more convenient, but I just don’t know how to surf the web.” Older taxi drivers and commuters are at a clear disadvantage in the technology-reliant society. But the good news is that taxi operators have rolled out initiatives to help the senior drivers. For drivers who are unfamiliar with how to use the technology, the operator provides them with training at its headquarters. By doing so, older drivers can not only use the applications, but also see the unique opportunities that driving a taxi can bring. Through their experience, they can also pick up passengers who can’t use ride-hailing apps. 8. What mainly caused the drop in Anthony’s income? A. The poor condition of his taxi. B. The development of public transport. C. The less demand for cars in the market. D. The popularity of a new taxi-calling approach. 9. What does Ms. Lim think of ride-hailing? A. It is hard to adapt. B. It is seldom reliable. C. It should be banned. D. It is time-consuming. 10. How are disadvantaged senior taxi drivers supported? A. By informing them of the best pick-up routes. B. By matching them with elderly passengers. C. By developing custom-made apps for them. D. By providing them with targeted training. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Taxi Services: A Dying Business in the Tech Wave. B. A Taxi Revolution: Seniors’ Difficulties and Solutions. C. Keeping Pace: Young Drivers’ Success in Ride-Hailing. D. A Technology Era: Combine Old and New Transports. D In between the speedboats and wooden fishing boats in a Hong Kong harbor, a different kind of boat sails. It looks ordinary, but as the three-meter-long new unmanned boat moves skillfully through the water, it consumes waste floating on the surface. Wasted plastic water bottles and juice boxes travel through a gap in the front of the boat and move up a belt. Around 33 billion pounds of plastic trash enter the oceans every year, according to Oceana, an ocean conservation group. The sight of this ever-growing marine litter is truly concerning. “We have garbage trucks for the land. Why don’t we have something to clean the water?” said Sidhant Gupta, the co-founder of the marine-tech startup Clearbot, which developed the boat. Clearbot is trying to change that with its autonomous boats. The boats can provide data by algorithms and analyze what items are being collected so that they can help people stop the flow of waste into waterways. And the boats don’t stop at collecting waste. There are many other “dull, dirty or dangerous” jobs that Clearbot’s boats are capable of. Equipped with sensors and tools, they can map the bottom of waterways, test water quality and collect samples. Due to the massive need for marine clean-up, Clearbot is now focused on scaling up. Gupta hopes to have 20 boats put into use by next year, and 50 in operation within two years. “You should be able to see these in the harbors and think it’s so normal,” said Gupta. “We want it to be used widely.” Some worry that too many boats will also cause pollution. But Gupta doesn’t think so. This boat has an impressive energy system. It has solar panels on top and an 8-hour battery, which can store the energy and enable it to operate without relying on traditional energy sources. “The fleet has the potential to protect the marine ecology and turn to pollution-free marine operations across a range of uses by replacing fossil fuel-powered boats,” said Gupta. 12. What drives Sidhant Gupta to develop this new boat? A. Lack of transport boats. B. Needs of local fishermen. C. Increase in marine litter. D. Waste of water resources. 13. What can we know about the performance of the boat? A. It is multi-functional. B. It works better underwater. C. It requires manual operation. D. It can avoid risky situations. 14 What does the underlined phrase “scaling up” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Selling abroad. B. Functioning well. C. Building harbors. D. Adding production. 15. What is the boat expected to do in marine operations? A. To achieve zero carbon emissions. B. To help conduct research on marine ecology. C. To develop deep-sea fossil fuels. D. To improve efficiency of marine operations. 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。 You deserve to have things you enjoy, and there’s nothing wrong with chasing the thrill of going shopping. ____16____.

He loved basketball more than anything in the world. He would spend hours every day practicing his dribbling (运球) and shooting. He dreamed of one day becoming professional basketball player and playing in the NBA. Max’s town had a small basketball court that was often empty. Max would go there every day after school to practice. One day, as he was practicing shooting, he heard a voice behind him. “Nice shot, kid,” the voice said. Max turned around to see a tall man with a friendly smile. The man introduced himself as Coach Johnson of a basketball club named Florida Tiger, and asked Max if he wanted to join his team. Max was overjoyed. He had never played on a team before and couldn’t wait to start. The team was made up of kids from all over the state, and they practiced every day after school. Max quickly became the star player of the team. He was fast, agile (灵活的), and had an incredible shot. At first, Max trained well and scored a lot of points in some mini competitions, relying on his super high shooting percentage. But Coach Johnson soon noticed a problem: Max played as if he were alone on the court, never communicating or collaborating with his teammates. Johnson communicated with Max about his problem many times, but Max remained unconvinced, “I’ve scored enough points using my shooting ability. I don’t see how it’s something that needs to be changed. ” The next game was with The Bolles School. It was Max’s first time playing in the Intercollegiate Major Competition. He was nervous, but more than that, he was confident. The big day finally came. Before the game, Coach Johnson made a final plea (请求) for Max to focus on passing and teamwork. Max simply nodded before heading to the court, his mind set on proving his talent. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With all players ready, the game began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Falling behind, Max knew he must change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 英语 本试卷共15页，67小题，满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡和试卷上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟-的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

One such village is the centuries-old city of St. Albans in England. For the past 47 years, Michael Tutton has filled that role. Each day, “Mick the Milk” was up before dawn to load his milk float, and then he’d visit with residents as he made his rounds. While he delivered milk, eggs, and other necessary items, he also remembered every family’s milestone. If someone had a birthday, he left a small piece of candy or special yogurt on their door. He loved doing charity runs and other events, raising thousands of dollars over the years that went right back into the community. In 2023, his milk float was damaged beyond repair, and he decided it was time to retire. Naturally, his beloved residents couldn’t let him go without a proper send-off! Without telling him, they planned a big party for him. Kate Crick, who organized Tutton’s retirement party, said, “We had Tutton delivering our milk for more than 45 years. He knows everyone and even remembers all the children from the streets.” Tutton has never learned to drive, but that has never stopped him. He would walk or get the bus from Welwyn to St. Albans, just to pick up the milk float and deliver milk to his loyal customers. Tutton was moved by the support of his community, and sad to bid farewell to a job that had meant much more to him than income. “It was amazing and very emotional. I’m definitely going to keep in touch with everybody I can,” he continued. “My heart is there.” It’s clear that this milkman made a huge impact on the world around him, simply by being kind, caring, and considerate of others. Congratulations on nearly 50 years on the job, Tutton! 4. What can we know about Michael Tutton from paragraph 2? A. He raised money by selling milk. B. He started the delivery job in his forties. C. He had a flexible work schedule. D. He got along well with the locals. 5. What made Michael Tutton decide to retire? A. His weak physical condition. B. Increasing delivery distance. C. His broken delivery float. D. Low demand for milk delivery. 6. How did Michael Tutton feel on the day of his retirement? A. Touched and sorrowful. B. Excited and hopeful. C. Anxious but relieved. D. Disappointed but peaceful. 7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To show a milkman’s devotion and kindness. B. To introduce the influence of milk delivery. C. To state milkmen’s challenges in rural areas. D. To record a milkman’s retirement party. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7.

This had served him well-until the appearance of ride-hailing applications. While younger taxi drivers are generally more willing to adapt to new technology such as ride-hailing applications, not all taxi drivers are open to it. Older drivers are generally more accustomed to “old-school” methods. “Customers always like to have something new... but for older taxi drivers, they will say the new model is difficult to accept,” said Anthony. “Due to increased competition from the ride-hailing platforms, many taxi drivers saw a decline in customers and their income took a drastic (猛烈的) hit.” The number of taxis fell by about half between 2014 and 2022. Over the same period, the number of private hire vehicles increased by more than threefold. It is not just the older taxi drivers who are disadvantaged. Older commuters have also been forced to play the waiting game as taxi numbers decreased. Many of them prefer to wait at taxi stands. They have had to tolerate longer waiting times in the past few months just for a vacant taxi to pick them up. Ms. Lim, a 63-year-old woman, takes taxis for crrands (差事) sometimes. “Sometimes there are just no taxis passing by, so I will wait longer than one hour,” she said. “I know ride-hailing is more convenient, but I just don’t know how to surf the web.” Older taxi drivers and commuters are at a clear disadvantage in the technology-reliant society. But the good news is that taxi operators have rolled out initiatives to help the senior drivers. For drivers who are unfamiliar with how to use the technology, the operator provides them with training at its headquarters. By doing so, older drivers can not only use the applications, but also see the unique opportunities that driving a taxi can bring. Through their experience, they can also pick up passengers who can’t use ride-hailing apps. 8. What mainly caused the drop in Anthony’s income? A. The poor condition of his taxi. B. The development of public transport. C. The less demand for cars in the market. D. The popularity of a new taxi-calling approach. 9. What does Ms. Lim think of ride-hailing? A. It is hard to adapt. B. It is seldom reliable. C. It should be banned. D. It is time-consuming. 10. How are disadvantaged senior taxi drivers supported? A. By informing them of the best pick-up routes. B. By matching them with elderly passengers. C. By developing custom-made apps for them. D. By providing them with targeted training. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Taxi Services: A Dying Business in the Tech Wave. B. A Taxi Revolution: Seniors’ Difficulties and Solutions. C. Keeping Pace: Young Drivers’ Success in Ride-Hailing. D. A Technology Era: Combine Old and New Transports. 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文讲述了随着叫车应用程序的出现，传统出租车行业受到了冲击，老年出租车司机和乘客都面临着困境，但出租车运营商推出了一些举措来帮助老年司机。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Due to increased competition from the ride-hailing platforms, many taxi drivers saw a decline in customers and their income took a drastic hit.(由于叫车平台的竞争加剧，许多出租车司机的客源减少，收入也大幅下降。)”可知，导致Anthony收入下降的主要原因是新的叫车方式的流行。故选D。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I know ride-hailing is more convenient, but I just don’t know how to surf the web.(我知道叫车服务更方便，但我就是不知道怎么上网。)”可知，林女士认为她很难适应叫车服务。故选A。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“For drivers who are unfamiliar with how to use the technology, the operator provides them with training at its headquarters.(对于不熟悉如何使用这项技术的司机，运营商会在其总部为他们提供培训。)”可知，运营商通过为老年出租车司机提供有针对性的培训来支持他们。故选D。 11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了随着叫车应用程序的出现，传统出租车行业受到了冲击，老年出租车司机和乘客都面临着困境，但出租车运营商推出了一些举措来帮助老年司机。由此可知，选项B“出租车革命：老年人的困境与解决方案”能概括文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D In between the speedboats and wooden fishing boats in a Hong Kong harbor, a different kind of boat sails. It looks ordinary, but as the three-meter-long new unmanned boat moves skillfully through the water, it consumes waste floating on the surface. Wasted plastic water bottles and juice boxes travel through a gap in the front of the boat and move up a belt. Around 33 billion pounds of plastic trash enter the oceans every year, according to Oceana, an ocean conservation group. The sight of this ever-growing marine litter is truly concerning. “We have garbage trucks for the land. Why don’t we have something to clean the water?” said Sidhant Gupta, the co-founder of the marine-tech startup Clearbot, which developed the boat. Clearbot is trying to change that with its autonomous boats. The boats can provide data by algorithms and analyze what items are being collected so that they can help people stop the flow of waste into waterways. And the boats don’t stop at collecting waste. There are many other “dull, dirty or dangerous” jobs that Clearbot’s boats are capable of. Equipped with sensors and tools, they can map the bottom of waterways, test water quality and collect samples. Due to the massive need for marine clean-up, Clearbot is now focused on scaling up. Gupta hopes to have 20 boats put into use by next year, and 50 in operation within two years. “You should be able to see these in the harbors and think it’s so normal,” said Gupta. “We want it to be used widely.” Some worry that too many boats will also cause pollution. But Gupta doesn’t think so. This boat has an impressive energy system. It has solar panels on top and an 8-hour battery, which can store the energy and enable it to operate without relying on traditional energy sources. “The fleet has the potential to protect the marine ecology and turn to pollution-free marine operations across a range of uses by replacing fossil fuel-powered boats,” said Gupta. 12. What drives Sidhant Gupta to develop this new boat? A. Lack of transport boats. B. Needs of local fishermen. C. Increase in marine litter. D. Waste of water resources. 13. What can we know about the performance of the boat? A. It is multi-functional. B. It works better underwater. C. It requires manual operation. D. It can avoid risky situations. 14. What does the underlined phrase “scaling up” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Selling abroad. B. Functioning well. C. Building harbors. D. Adding production. 15. What is the boat expected to do in marine operations? A. To achieve zero carbon emissions. B. To help conduct research on marine ecology. C. To develop deep-sea fossil fuels. D. To improve efficiency of marine operations. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了海洋科技初创公司Clearbot研发的新型无人船，它能清理海洋垃圾，具备多种功能，公司正扩大生产，且此船有望实现零碳排放。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Around 33 billion pounds of plastic trash enter the oceans every year, according to Oceana, an ocean conservation group. The sight of this ever-growing marine litter is truly concerning. ‘We have garbage trucks for the land. Why don’t we have something to clean the water?’ said Sidhant Gupta, the co-founder of the marine-tech startup Clearbot, which developed the boat.(据海洋保护组织Oceana称，每年约有330亿磅的塑料垃圾进入海洋。这种日益增多的海洋垃圾的景象确实令人担忧。开发这艘船的海洋科技初创公司Clearbot的联合创始人Sidhant Gupta说：‘我们陆地上有垃圾车。为什么我们没有清理水面的东西呢?’)”可知，海洋垃圾的增多促使Sidhant Gupta开发这种新船。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The boats can provide data by algorithms and analyze what items are being collected so that they can help people stop the flow of waste into waterways. And the boats don’t stop at collecting waste. There are many other ‘dull, dirty or dangerous’ jobs that Clearbot’s boats are capable of. Equipped with sensors and tools, they can map the bottom of waterways, test water quality and collect samples.(这些船可以通过算法提供数据，分析正在收集的物品，以便帮助人们阻止垃圾流入水道。而且这些船不止能收集垃圾。Clearbot的船还能完成许多其他‘枯燥、肮脏或危险’的工作。它们配备了传感器和工具，可以绘制水道底部地图、测试水质和收集样本)”可知，这种船不止能收集垃圾，还能完成许多其他“枯燥、肮脏或危险”的工作，说明它具有多种功能。故选A项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线短语后“Gupta hopes to have 20 boats put into use by next year, and 50 in operation within two years.(Gupta希望到明年能有20艘船投入使用，两年内有50艘船投入运营)”可推知，由于海洋清洁的巨大需求，所以Clearbot现在专注于扩大生产。故“scaling up”意思是“增加生产”，与D项“Adding production”同义。故选D项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“This boat has an impressive energy system. It has solar panels on top and an 8-hour battery, which can store the energy and enable it to operate without relying on traditional energy sources. ‘The fleet has the potential to protect the marine ecology and turn to pollution free marine operations across a range of uses by replacing fossil fuel powered boats,’ said Gupta.(这艘船有一个令人印象深刻的能源系统。它顶部有太阳能板和一个8小时续航的电池，可以储存能量，使其在不依赖传统能源的情况下运行。Gupta说：‘这支船队有潜力保护海洋生态，并通过取代化石燃料动力船，在一系列用途上转向无污染的海洋作业。’)”可知，这艘船在海洋作业中有望实现零碳排放。故选A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。 You deserve to have things you enjoy, and there’s nothing wrong with chasing the thrill of going shopping. ____16____.

It’s fine to enjoy a little emotional spending sometimes(偶尔进行一些情感性消费是可以的)符合语境，“a little”与下文中的“out of hand”是两种情感消费的程度，意思是偶尔可以，失控了就是一个大问题了。故选E项。 【17题详解】 根据小标题Make an “emotional spending” budget(制定一个“情感性消费”预算)及上文“Creating an ‘emotional spending’ budget can help, because it will remind you to make a more conscious decision to shop.(制定一个“情感性消费”预算会有帮助，因为它会提醒你更理性地做出购物决定)”可知，对于情感性消费应该要在消费额度上进行限制，由此可知，F. Set a monthly or weekly amount you can afford and stick to it(设定一个你负担得起的每月或每周的金额，并坚持下去)符合语境。故选F项。 【18题详解】 根据小标题Find healthier ways to cope with your emotions(寻找更健康的情绪应对方式)及上文“Dopamine (多巴胺) is released when we are shopping, which can feel like an instant reward.(购物时会释放多巴胺，这会让人感觉像是一种即时的奖励)”及下文“Exercising, or pursuing a hobby can be healthy and fulfilling alternatives.(锻炼身体或追求一项爱好可以是健康且充实的替代方式)”可知，前面表示购物的确可以让人心情好，后文建议了健康的方式释放情绪，所以此处应该转折，表示不要依赖购物消费这一种方式，还有别的方法。由此可知，G. But there are many healthier ways to release those happy feelings(但有许多更健康的方式来释放这些快乐情绪)承上启下。故选G项。 【19题详解】 根据小标题Check on your finances regularly(定期检查财务状况)及下文“We may be unclear what we have spent, and what we have left to spend.(我们可能不清楚自己已经花了多少钱，以及还剩下多少钱可以花)”可知，本段讲财务状况，下一句表示我们很多人不知道自己花了多少，余额多少。由此可知，C. Many of us aren’t clear about our finances(我们中的许多人对自己的财务状况并不清楚)符合语境。故选C项。 【20题详解】 该空为段落小标题。应该概括本段主旨大意。根据下文“When you feel the urge to make a non-essential purchase, hit the pause button. Give yourself some time to think about whether you truly need the item, or if it’s just an emotional whim (心血来潮). Often, the impulse will fade, and you’ll be glad you didn’t make the purchase.(当你感到冲动想要进行非必需品的购买时，按下暂停键。给自己一些时间思考你是否真的需要这件商品，还是这只是一时的情绪冲动。通常，冲动会逐渐消退，你会庆幸自己没有做出购买决定)”可知，本段主要建议读者在情绪冲动想要购物时，先停下来冷静思考，分析是否有必要买这个东西。由此可知，B. Give yourself a cooling-off period(给自己一个冷静时间)符合语境。故选B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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Eclipses (日食) can be predicted centuries in advance, so many people have been waiting for them their whole lives.

He loved basketball more than anything in the world. He would spend hours every day practicing his dribbling (运球) and shooting. He dreamed of one day becoming professional basketball player and playing in the NBA. Max’s town had a small basketball court that was often empty. Max would go there every day after school to practice. One day, as he was practicing shooting, he heard a voice behind him. “Nice shot, kid,” the voice said. Max turned around to see a tall man with a friendly smile. The man introduced himself as Coach Johnson of a basketball club named Florida Tiger, and asked Max if he wanted to join his team. Max was overjoyed. He had never played on a team before and couldn’t wait to start. The team was made up of kids from all over the state, and they practiced every day after school. Max quickly became the star player of the team. He was fast, agile (灵活的), and had an incredible shot. At first, Max trained well and scored a lot of points in some mini competitions, relying on his super high shooting percentage. But Coach Johnson soon noticed a problem: Max played as if he were alone on the court, never communicating or collaborating with his teammates. Johnson communicated with Max about his problem many times, but Max remained unconvinced, “I’ve scored enough points using my shooting ability. I don’t see how it’s something that needs to be changed. ” The next game was with The Bolles School. It was Max’s first time playing in the Intercollegiate Major Competition. He was nervous, but more than that, he was confident. The big day finally came. Before the game, Coach Johnson made a final plea (请求) for Max to focus on passing and teamwork. Max simply nodded before heading to the court, his mind set on proving his talent. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With all players ready, the game began. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Falling behind, Max knew he must change. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With all players ready, the game began. Max quickly became the center of attention, relying on his outstanding shooting skills. However, his opponents were stronger and sharper this time. They seemed to have noticed Max’s problem and designed a strategy to stop him. Their defence was perfectly-organized, like a wall. Soon, Max found himself cornered and his shots blocked. The frustration was overwhelming, his usual skills and precision deserting him. Seeing the scoreboard, he felt a sense of tension. Falling behind, Max knew he must change. Recalling Coach Johnson’s words, Max found a way out. He began to pass the ball and create opportunities for his teammates. Gradually, the situation changed. Their opponents’ seemingly unbreakable defence was broken down as Max and his teammates worked together. In the dying seconds, with the score neck and neck, a well-timed pass found its way to Max. Shouldering the trust, he made the final shot. The court was silent, the clock ticking. The ball flew gracefully in the air and finally went through the net. They won! The cheers burst out, but deep down, Max understood the victory was due to team cooperation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以17岁的篮球爱好者 Max 为线索展开，主要讲述了他凭借出色投篮能力加入球队，但因单打独斗遭教练提醒，在重要比赛中受挫后学会团队合作的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容 “所有球员都准备好了，比赛开始了。” 可知，第一段可描写比赛开始后Max依赖个人投篮遇阻，对手针对其单打特点严密防守，导致他被限制、得分受阻，球队陷入落后局面。 ②由第二段首句内容“比分落后，Max知道他必须做出改变。”可知，第二段可描写Max回忆教练建议后改变策略，开始传球配合队友，团队协作打破对手防守，最后在关键时刻通过配合完成绝杀，领悟到团队合作的重要性。 2.续写线索：比赛开始Max单打——对手严防导致受阻——球队落后Max反思——尝试传球与队友配合——团队协作打破僵局——关键传球Max绝杀致胜。 3.词汇激活 行为类 依赖：rely on/depend on/count on 传球：pass the ball/make a pass/throw the ball 创造机会：create opportunities/generate chances/make openings 情绪类 ①挫败：frustration/dismay/dissatisfaction ②紧张：tension/anxiety/nervousness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Their opponents’ seemingly unbreakable defence was broken down as Max and his teammates worked together.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】The cheers burst out, but deep down, Max understood the victory was due to team cooperation.（运用了省略连接词that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
