An instruction on how to upload contents to online libraries B Five-year-old Willard Wigan struggled to tell the difference between an M and a W or a 6 and a 9. Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses. At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart. At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan, microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG. 4. Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher? A. Sympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless. 5. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants? A. Because he had a love for little things. B. Because he was absent-minded in class. C. Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school. D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant. 6. What can we infer from the text? A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream. B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work. C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time. D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school. 7. Which of the following may Willard agree with? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Success belongs to those who don’t give up. C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals. D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work. C The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has brought the remarkable capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) into the spotlight, particularly in the field of protein structure prediction. This year’s award celebrated the development of AlphaFold, an AI tool created by DeepMind, which has transformed our ability to understand proteins — the fundamental building blocks of life. Proteins, composed of chains of amino acids (氨基酸), are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of tissues and organs in the human body. Traditionally, determining a protein’s 3D structure was a time-consuming process that could take years of meticulous work. However, AlphaFold has revolutionized this field by predicting protein structures from their amino acid sequences in mere minutes. AlphaFold’s success lies in its use of deep learning algorithms (算法) that can identify patterns in vast amounts of data. It has been trained on extensive databases of known protein structures and amino acid sequences, allowing it to predict over 200 million protein structures. This includes nearly all cataloged proteins known to science, from humans to plants, bacteria, animals, and other organisms. The impact of AlphaFold is not just limited to theoretical science; it has practical applications in drug and vaccine development. For example, AlphaFold played a crucial role in advancing research for a malaria vaccine. By accurately predicting the structure of a key protein, AlphaFold enabled scientists to identify which parts of the protein to target in the vaccine, thus accelerating the research from fundamental science to preclinical and clinical development stages. Moreover, AlphaFold’s open-source nature allows academic scientists to predict protein interactions, which is crucial for understanding how proteins behave in the presence of potential drugs. This advancement not only accelerates biomedical research but also has the potential to improve our understanding of antibiotic resistance and contribute to the development of enzymes that can decompose plastic, addressing environmental concerns. With AlphaFold demonstrating how AI can supercharge existing knowledge to benefit mankind, the possibilities of AI in scientific research are vast and hold the promise of further breakthroughs that could change the world. 8. Why was AlphaFold celebrated by the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A. It quickly predicts protein structures. B. It simplifies amino acid analysis. C. It invents new protein functions. D. It reduces lab work for proteins. 9. How does AlphaFold achieve its success in predicting protein structures? A By using traditional methods. B. By relying on a small database. C. By employing deep learning algorithms. D. By identifying patterns of proteins. 10. What practical application of AlphaFold is mentioned in the passage? A. Developing drugs to cure malaria. B. Speeding up the development of a malaria vaccine. C. Enhancing antibiotic resistance in plants. D. Predicting the structure of plastic-decomposing enzymes. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage? A. The Rise of AI in Biological Science B. AlphaFold: Unlocking the Secrets of Proteins C. The Nobel Prize and the Future of AI in Science D. The Evolution of Protein Structure Research D A prehistoric fossil uncovered in Antarctica could be the oldest modern bird ever found and an ancestor of today’s ducks and geese. The discovery could help scientists continue piecing together the long evolutionary history of birds. The nearly complete bird skull is about 69 million years old. Called Vegavis iaai, it belongs to a species of waterfowl (birds that include ducks, geese, and swans) that lived at the same time as dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex. Only the duck-like species survived when all dinosaurs that were not avian died out about 66 million years ago. The mystery of Vegavis iaai began in 1993, when researchers discovered the fossil of a bird on Vega Island in Antarctica. It did not have a skull, which made it difficult to fully identify. Julia Clarke, a paleontologist (scientist who studies fossils) at the University of Texas, Austin, was one of the scientists who found the first fossil. She thought it was related to modern waterfowl but couldn’t prove that without the creature’s skull. Then, in 2011, researchers found a skull on Vega Island. They recently confirmed that it was a match for the skeleton from 1993, which provided an opportunity to determine whether Vegavis iaai was connected to today’s ducks and geese. The researchers created a digital 3D model of the Vegavis iaai skull which showed that its brain was shaped like the brains of today’s ducks and geese. However, it had a long, narrow beak and powerful jaw muscles that made it different from waterfowl and more like modern birds that dive and catch fish. Despite the range of characteristics, the study’s authors believe Vegavis iaai is related to today’s waterfowl. “It’s exactly the kind of thing we need to help fill in an evolutionary gap” Christopher Torres, a co-author of the new study, told The New York Times. Other scientists are not convinced, however, and argue that more fossils of the species are needed to fully confirm the findings. Torres and his colleagues understand that there is more work to be done to support their findings and that their conclusions are controversial. “Few birds are as likely to start as many arguments among paleontologists as Vegavis.” Torres told Science News. 12. What does the underlined word “avian” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean? A. Related to water. B. Related to birds. C. Similar to dinosaurs. D. Related to fish. 13. Why is the discovery in 1993 mentioned? A. To explain the challenges in confirming the identity of Vegavis iaai. B. To describe the process of fossil preservation in Antarctica. C. To highlight Julia Clarke’s contributions to paleontology. D. To introduce the final conclusion about Vegavis iaai’s evolution. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. The 1993 fossil included a complete skull. B. Vegavis iaai lived only after the extinction of all dinosaurs. C. The study’s conclusions are widely accepted by all scientists. D. Vegavis iaai had a brain shape similar to modern fish-catching birds. 15. What will the follow-up study probably focus on? A. Creating more 3D models of ancient bird brains. B. Studying the impact of dinosaur extinction on waterfowl. C. Finding more fossils of Vegavis iaai to confirm its relationship to modern birds. D. Analyzing the differences in jaw muscles between Vegavis iaai and diving birds. 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。 Have you ever noticed that some people seem to climb the career ladder (梯子) effortlessly, while others struggle to get their foot on the first step? ____16____ Often, it’s about the Matthew Effect: the idea that initial success can create a snowball effect, making future success easier to achieve. Understanding how it works can help you make use of it to your advantage. ____17____ Think of yourself as a young designer who lands a high-profile client early on. That one project, if handled well, opens the door to bigger opportunities, referrals and a growing collection of impressive work. ____18____ When your manager sees you excel in the first place, they’re more likely to trust you with bigger responsibilities. Visibility is crucial to the Matthew Effect. ____19____ If you are an employee who consistently delivers outstanding work but doesn’t share that you may be overshadowed by a coworker who’s just as competent but better at self-promotion. Consider the example of a mid-level marketing manager. By regularly presenting their team’s results at company meetings, they ensure leadership associates their name with success. This visibility can lead to opportunities like promotions, speaking engagements, or even being headhunted by other companies. Another key driver of the Matthew Effect is the power of networks. People with strong professional networks are often exposed to more opportunities than those with limited connections. Psychologically, people tend to associate success with competence. ____20____ This is why networking isn’t just about meeting people — it’s about creating meaningful relationships that lead to trust and mutual (相互的) benefit. A. Visibility contributes to the interaction with celebrated people. B. It’s not always about talent or hard work — though both are vital. C. More clients want to work with you when you’re already successful. D. If people don’t know about your achievements, it’s hard to obtain more success. E. The first big break in your career often sets the stage for everything that follows. F. Early recognition builds confidence — not just in the people around you, but in yourself. G. If you’re recommended by someone respected in your field, the recommendation carries weight. 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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 It was dark and rainy in early winter.

Among the lively atmosphere, Wanda Petronski, a poor Polish girl, with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that showed signs of frequent wear, became the target of cruel jokes among her classmates. Each morning, as Wanda stepped into the classroom, a sudden silence would fall over the room. The abrupt silence was soon replaced by whispers and laughter. “Look, there’s Wanda,” Peggy would whisper to her friend Maggie, her eyes shining with mischief. Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda?” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity. Wanda would hesitate, her fingers nervously twisting her dress. “A hundred,” she would reply in a soft murmur; her voice was barely heard. Instantly, the classroom would erupt in laughter. “A hundred!” Peggy would shout, her laughter echoing through the room. “I bet they’re all made of paper!” The other students would join in, their cruel laughter filling the air. Wanda’s face would redden with awkward, and she would quickly lower her head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Miss Mason, their teacher, often tried to intervene. “That’s enough, class. Let’s start the lesson,” she would say firmly, attempting to restore order. But the damage had been done. Day after day, Peggy and her group of friends continued to make fun of Wanda, asking about her “hundred dresses” and making ill remarks about her plain clothes. One day, Miss Mason announced an exciting drawing contest. The theme was “Design a Dress,” and the winning entries would be displayed in the school hall. Peggy, confident in her artistic abilities, was determined to claim victory. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福州三中2024-2025学年高三第二十次质量检测 英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分） 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.

Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. Not surprisingly, Willard didn’t like school. Usually, his mind drifted — to playing outside, to his dog Maxie, or to the ants that lived near his family’s garden shed. Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant. Thus, when he noticed some ants trying to build a house, he decided to help them! Willard constructed a little building. Then he sprinkled sugar inside to encourage the ants to move in. When they did, Willard built more houses. At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart. At age nine, Willard began carving faces on toothpicks. He discovered that his ability improved when he held his breath as he worked. When he quit school at age 15 to help support his family, Willard still spent his spare time carving. His confidence grew as more people appreciated his talent. Eventually, he quit his factory job to pursue his dream of becoming one of the best artists in the world. Now, years later, Willard carves the tiniest artwork in the world! His sculptures are so small that several can fit on a period at the end of a sentence. Because of their beauty and rarity, his sculptures have made Willard a wealthy man. But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.” Willard Wigan, microsculptor, has done just that. The man who felt small as a boy has shown the world that something small can really be BIG. 4. Which of the following best describes Willard’s teacher? A. Sympathetic. B. Unhelpful. C. Impatient. D. Careless. 5. Why did Willard become interested in building homes for ants? A. Because he had a love for little things. B. Because he was absent-minded in class. C. Because he wouldn’t have to struggle at school. D. Because he thought they both seemed unimportant. 6. What can we infer from the text? A. Willard gave up his study in school to pursue his dream. B. Willard became popular when more people appreciated his work. C. Willard was able to carve small artwork in a short period of time. D. Willard found a way to make better artwork when he was at school. 7. Which of the following may Willard agree with? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Success belongs to those who don’t give up. C. Dreaming big is the first step in achieving your goals. D. Talent is sometimes more important for success than hard work. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了阅读障碍症患者Willard Wigan通过微观雕刻实现梦想的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Unfortunately, his schoolteacher knew nothing about dyslexia (阅读障碍症), a learning disability that can make letters and numbers confusing. She didn’t try to help him. (不幸的是，他的老师对阅读障碍一无所知，这是一种会使字母和数字混淆的学习障碍。她没有试图帮助他)”可知，Willard的老师帮不上他忙，可以用unhelpful来描述。故选B。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“Willard was especially curious about those ants. He felt like them — small and insignificant. (Willard对那些蚂蚁特别好奇。他觉得自己和它们一样——渺小而微不足道)”可知，Willard对给蚂蚁建房子感兴趣是因为他觉得他和蚂蚁一样，都不重要。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“At school, Willard still struggled, but now he knew he could do something special. Maybe he wasn’t a failure after all. If he had trouble with his reading or math, Willard would later go home and create tiny furniture for the ant houses. He even built an ant school, with teeny swings, ladders, seesaws, and a merry-go-round. His artistic skill increased, and a love for little things began to grow in his heart. (在学校里，Willard仍然很挣扎，但现在他知道他可以做一些特别的事情。也许他根本就不是个失败者。如果Willard在阅读或数学方面有困难，他就会回家为蚂蚁屋制作小家具。他甚至建了一个蚂蚁学校，里面有小秋千、梯子、跷跷板和旋转木马。他的艺术技巧提高了，对小事物的热爱开始在他心中滋长)”可推知，Willard在上学的时候发现了一种制作更好艺术品的方法。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“But he says, “Success isn’t about material things like an expensive watch or a costly ring; it’s about persevering and achieving your dreams.” (但他说：“成功不是物质上的东西，比如一块昂贵的手表或一枚昂贵的戒指；这是关于坚持和实现你的梦想。”)”可推知，Willard可能会同意的说法是成功属于那些不放弃的人。故选B。 C The 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has brought the remarkable capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) into the spotlight, particularly in the field of protein structure prediction. This year’s award celebrated the development of AlphaFold, an AI tool created by DeepMind, which has transformed our ability to understand proteins — the fundamental building blocks of life. Proteins, composed of chains of amino acids (氨基酸), are essential for the structure, function, and regulation of tissues and organs in the human body. Traditionally, determining a protein’s 3D structure was a time-consuming process that could take years of meticulous work. However, AlphaFold has revolutionized this field by predicting protein structures from their amino acid sequences in mere minutes. AlphaFold’s success lies in its use of deep learning algorithms (算法) that can identify patterns in vast amounts of data. It has been trained on extensive databases of known protein structures and amino acid sequences, allowing it to predict over 200 million protein structures. This includes nearly all cataloged proteins known to science, from humans to plants, bacteria, animals, and other organisms. The impact of AlphaFold is not just limited to theoretical science; it has practical applications in drug and vaccine development. For example, AlphaFold played a crucial role in advancing research for a malaria vaccine. By accurately predicting the structure of a key protein, AlphaFold enabled scientists to identify which parts of the protein to target in the vaccine, thus accelerating the research from fundamental science to preclinical and clinical development stages. Moreover, AlphaFold’s open-source nature allows academic scientists to predict protein interactions, which is crucial for understanding how proteins behave in the presence of potential drugs. This advancement not only accelerates biomedical research but also has the potential to improve our understanding of antibiotic resistance and contribute to the development of enzymes that can decompose plastic, addressing environmental concerns. With AlphaFold demonstrating how AI can supercharge existing knowledge to benefit mankind, the possibilities of AI in scientific research are vast and hold the promise of further breakthroughs that could change the world. 8. Why was AlphaFold celebrated by the 2023 Nobel Prize in Chemistry? A. It quickly predicts protein structures. B. It simplifies amino acid analysis. C. It invents new protein functions. D. It reduces lab work for proteins. 9. How does AlphaFold achieve its success in predicting protein structures? A. By using traditional methods. B. By relying on a small database. C. By employing deep learning algorithms. D. By identifying patterns of proteins. 10. What practical application of AlphaFold is mentioned in the passage? A. Developing drugs to cure malaria. B. Speeding up the development of a malaria vaccine. C. Enhancing antibiotic resistance in plants. D. Predicting the structure of plastic-decomposing enzymes. 11.

The discovery could help scientists continue piecing together the long evolutionary history of birds. The nearly complete bird skull is about 69 million years old. Called Vegavis iaai, it belongs to a species of waterfowl (birds that include ducks, geese, and swans) that lived at the same time as dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex. Only the duck-like species survived when all dinosaurs that were not avian died out about 66 million years ago. The mystery of Vegavis iaai began in 1993, when researchers discovered the fossil of a bird on Vega Island in Antarctica. It did not have a skull, which made it difficult to fully identify. Julia Clarke, a paleontologist (scientist who studies fossils) at the University of Texas, Austin, was one of the scientists who found the first fossil. She thought it was related to modern waterfowl but couldn’t prove that without the creature’s skull. Then, in 2011, researchers found a skull on Vega Island. They recently confirmed that it was a match for the skeleton from 1993, which provided an opportunity to determine whether Vegavis iaai was connected to today’s ducks and geese. The researchers created a digital 3D model of the Vegavis iaai skull, which showed that its brain was shaped like the brains of today’s ducks and geese. However, it had a long, narrow beak and powerful jaw muscles that made it different from waterfowl and more like modern birds that dive and catch fish. Despite the range of characteristics, the study’s authors believe Vegavis iaai is related to today’s waterfowl. “It’s exactly the kind of thing we need to help fill in an evolutionary gap” Christopher Torres, a co-author of the new study, told The New York Times. Other scientists are not convinced, however, and argue that more fossils of the species are needed to fully confirm the findings. Torres and his colleagues understand that there is more work to be done to support their findings and that their conclusions are controversial. “Few birds are as likely to start as many arguments among paleontologists as Vegavis.” Torres told Science News. 12. What does the underlined word “avian” in Paragraph 2 most likely mean? A Related to water. B. Related to birds. C. Similar to dinosaurs. D. Related to fish. 13. Why is the discovery in 1993 mentioned? A. To explain the challenges in confirming the identity of Vegavis iaai. B. To describe the process of fossil preservation in Antarctica. C. To highlight Julia Clarke’s contributions to paleontology. D. To introduce the final conclusion about Vegavis iaai’s evolution. 14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. The 1993 fossil included a complete skull. B. Vegavis iaai lived only after the extinction of all dinosaurs. C The study’s conclusions are widely accepted by all scientists. D. Vegavis iaai had a brain shape similar to modern fish-catching birds. 15. What will the follow-up study probably focus on? A. Creating more 3D models of ancient bird brains. B. Studying the impact of dinosaur extinction on waterfowl. C. Finding more fossils of Vegavis iaai to confirm its relationship to modern birds. D. Analyzing the differences in jaw muscles between Vegavis iaai and diving birds. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了在南极洲发现的一种古老鸟类化石Vegavis iaai，及其对研究现代鸟类进化关系的意义和争议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Called Vegavis iaai, it belongs to a species of waterfowl (birds that include ducks, geese, and swans) that lived at the same time as dinosaurs like Tyrannosaurus rex. Only the duck-like species survived when all dinosaurs that were not avian died out about 66 million years ago. (这种生物被称为维加鸟（Vegavis iaai），它属于水禽物种（包括鸭子、鹅和天鹅在内的鸟类），与霸王龙等恐龙生活在同一时期。大约 6600 万年前，当所有非avian恐龙灭绝时，只有类似鸭子的物种存活了下来)”可知，在恐龙大灭绝时，非“avian”的恐龙灭绝了，而类似鸭子的鸟类存活了下来，所以“avian”指的是与鸟类有关的。故选B。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“The mystery of Vegavis iaai began in 1993, when researchers discovered the fossil of a bird on Vega Island in Antarctica. It did not have a skull, which made it difficult to fully identify. (Vegavis iaai的神秘故事始于1993年，当时研究人员在南极洲的维加岛上发现了一只鸟类的化石。它没有头骨，这使得很难完全确定其身份)”可推知，1993年的发现被提及是为了解释确认Vegavis iaai身份所面临的挑战。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“The researchers created a digital 3D model of the Vegavis iaai skull, which showed that its brain was shaped like the brains of today’s ducks and geese. However, it had a long, narrow beak and powerful jaw muscles that made it different from waterfowl and more like modern birds that dive and catch fish. (研究人员创建了Vegavis iaai头骨的数字3D模型，该模型显示其大脑形状与今天的鸭子和鹅的大脑相似。然而，它有一个又长又窄的喙和强壮的下颌肌肉，这使它不同于水禽，而更像现代潜水捕鱼的鸟类)”可知，Vegavis iaai的大脑形状与现代捕鱼鸟类相似。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中“Other scientists are not convinced, however, and argue that more fossils of the species are needed to fully confirm the findings. (然而，其他科学家并不信服，并认为需要更多该物种的化石来完全证实这一发现)”以及最后一段中“Torres and his colleagues understand that there is more work to be done to support their findings and that their conclusions are controversial. (托雷斯和他的同事们明白，要支持他们的研究结果，还有更多工作要做，而且他们的结论存在争议)”可推知，后续研究可能会集中在寻找更多的Vegavis iaai化石，以确认它与现代鸟类的关系。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。 Have you ever noticed that some people seem to climb the career ladder (梯子) effortlessly, while others struggle to get their foot on the first step? ____16____ Often, it’s about the Matthew Effect: the idea that initial success can create a snowball effect, making future success easier to achieve.

Among the lively atmosphere, Wanda Petronski, a poor Polish girl, with her unruly hair and a faded blue dress that showed signs of frequent wear, became the target of cruel jokes among her classmates. Each morning, as Wanda stepped into the classroom, a sudden silence would fall over the room. The abrupt silence was soon replaced by whispers and laughter. “Look, there’s Wanda,” Peggy would whisper to her friend Maggie, her eyes shining with mischief. Peggy, the most popular girl in class, was well-known for her sharp tongue and a good sense of fashion. Driven by a mix of boredom and meanness (恶意), she would call out, “How many dresses do you have now, Wanda?” Her voice was filled with pretended curiosity. Wanda would hesitate, her fingers nervously twisting her dress. “A hundred,” she would reply in a soft murmur; her voice was barely heard. Instantly, the classroom would erupt in laughter. “A hundred!” Peggy would shout, her laughter echoing through the room. “I bet they’re all made of paper!” The other students would join in, their cruel laughter filling the air. Wanda’s face would redden with awkward, and she would quickly lower her head, unable to meet anyone’s eyes. Miss Mason, their teacher, often tried to intervene. “That’s enough, class. Let’s start the lesson,” she would say firmly, attempting to restore order. But the damage had been done. Day after day, Peggy and her group of friends continued to make fun of Wanda, asking about her “hundred dresses” and making ill remarks about her plain clothes. One day, Miss Mason announced an exciting drawing contest. The theme was “Design a Dress,” and the winning entries would be displayed in the school hall. Peggy, confident in her artistic abilities, was determined to claim victory. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 A few days later, Miss Mason announced the result and everyone was shocked. Wanda won the first prize, for she had submitted 100 exquisite, uniquely detailed fashion design drawings. Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students. Peggy and the class stared in disbelief at the beautiful display of Wanda’s talent. But Wanda wasn’t there to see her triumph. She had been absent for days, likely due to classmates’ constant bad behavior. The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her. Feeling a strong sense of guilt, Peggy and Maggie went to Wanda’s house with the good news. When they arrived, Wanda seemed surprised to see them. Peggy, her voice filled with regret, said, “Wanda, your drawings won! They’re amazing. We’re so sorry for being mean.” Maggie nodded in agreement. Wanda smiled gently and said, “It’s okay.” She then offered to give Peggy and Maggie some of her drawings. “I want you to have them,” she said. Her kindness touched their hearts. From that day on, Peggy and Maggie learned the importance of kindness and never judged others by their appearance again. Whenever anyone walked through the school hall and saw Wanda’s beautiful drawings, they were reminded of the power of forgiveness and the impact that a single act of kindness could have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在Benton学校里，波兰贫困女孩Wanda因衣着朴素而遭受同学嘲笑，但最终凭借自己的绘画才华赢得绘画比赛并赢得同学们尊重与歉意的故事，传达了不应以貌取人、应尊重他人、善良与宽容的力量等深刻道理。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“几天后，Mason小姐公布了比赛结果，所有人都震惊了。”以及第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第一段可描写Wanda获得了一等奖，她提交了100副作品，但是Wanda因为同学们的嘲笑已经几天没有上学了。 ②由第二段首句内容“Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家。”可知，第二段可描写两人诚挚地向Wanda道了歉，也明白了善良重要性。 2.续写线索：几天后，Mason小姐公布了比赛结果，所有人都震惊了——Wanda获得了一等奖，因为她提交了100副作品——每一幅作品都是杰作——但是Wanda却因为同学们的嘲笑几天没有来上学——所有人都陷入了沉默——Peggy和Maggie深感愧疚，带着这个好消息去了Wanda家——她们告诉了Wanda这个好消息，并向Wanda道歉——从那天开始，两人明白了善良的重要性 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满了：be filled with/ be full of ②明白：realize/come to know ③打动：touch/ move/strike 情绪类 ①尴尬的：awkward/ embarrassing ②惊讶的：surprised/ astonished 【点睛】【高分句型1】Each drawing was a masterpiece, featuring elaborate patterns and vivid colors that far exceeded the simple sketches of the other students.（运用了that引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The classroom was filled with an awkward silence as the students realized how wrong they had been to laugh at her.（运用了as引导的状语从句和how引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
