B Bill Ashton (1936‒2015) was a British saxophonist (萨克斯吹奏者), composer, and music educator famous for his contributions to jazz education and performance. In 1965, he founded the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO) , a groundbreaking organization dedicated to cultivating young jazz musicians in the UK. In 2011 Bill Ashton shared an old recording with The Times. The record, made in 2000, captured 16-year-old Amy Winehouse’s first public performance with the orchestra at a hotel. Ashton introduced her by saying, “Her name is Amy Winehouse,” before she sang Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out. At first, the crowd doubted she would sing, but she surprised everyone with her powerful voice and confidence. After finishing four songs, Ashton praised her, saying, “With that confidence, she has a bright future.” Ashton found Winehouse through Sylvia Young, founder of her school. At early rehearsals, she seemed shy, but when she sang, she amazed everyone. The recording happened because the original singer canceled last-minute. Ashton called Winehouse just two hours before the show. She agreed, learned the songs on the subway, and performed perfectly. Winehouse kept singing with NYJO occasionally until 2002. After her death at 27, Ashton shared the record to show her early talent. He said, “She was special from the start,” proving how her incredible journey began. Under his leadership, NYJO became a platform for ambitious artists to develop their skills, cooperate with professionals, and perform nationally and internationally. Ashton’s vision emphasized accessibility and excellence, bridging the gap between education and professional jazz. He also composed works for the orchestra and advocated for jazz inclusion in formal music curricula (课程). His legacy lives on through generations of musicians who credit NYJO as a starting point for their careers, stabilizing his impact on British jazz culture. 4. What was the primary goal of Bill Ashton in creating NYJO? A. To replace music education in schools. B. To compose music for young musicians. C. To compete in international competitions. D. To provide a platform for future jazz artists. 5. What can we learn about Winehouse’s first public performance? A. She prepared for two weeks. B. She was the scheduled singer. C. She had been popular before that. D. She performed well with confidence. 6. Why did Bill Ashton share the recording in 2011? A. To show her lack of professionalism. B. To promote the jazz curriculum in NYJO. C. To facilitate NYJO’s upcoming concerts. D. To highlight her early talent after her death. 7. Which of the following best describes Bill Ashton? A. Influential. B. Innovative. C. Generous. D. Humble. C Vitamin D supplements may not be an effective defense against acute respiratory infections (急性呼吸道感染), according to a recent study published in The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. A 2021 paper by the same team had found a slight but statistically significant protective effect (8%) against acute respiratory infections from taking vitamin D. The most recent analysis collected data from nearly four dozen clinical trials involving more than 60,000 participants and added the results of three new large trials to the previous data. The updated analysis found a negligible — or non-statistically significant — protective effect (6%) from the supplements. It’s still possible the vitamin supplementation could reduce the severity and duration of such infections, “but we did not address this question,” said Adrian Martineau, a clinical professor at Queen Mary University of London and the study’s senior author. Vitamin D is one of the supplements most commonly taken by U.S. adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We need only small-to-moderate amounts of vitamin D, and most people are already getting what they need without taking supplements,” said JoAnn E. Manson, co-author of the study and a professor at Harvard Medical School. Donald Hensrud, a nutrition specialist at the Mayo Clinic, who was not involved in the study, pointed out that the 2021 paper and the recent study both showed “vitamin D probably does not help reduce respiratory infections, but even if it did, the effect is relatively small.” Hensrud added that individuals should consider supplementation in certain cases. “If you’re part of a high-risk group for vitamin D deficiency (缺乏), then talk to your doctor,” he said. “Importantly, be physically active outdoors and eat healthfully. Dietary supplements will never be a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle.” 8. What is vitamin D’s effect on acute respiratory infections? A. It worsens the symptoms. B. It has little protective effect. C. It completely prevents infections. D. It significantly reduces infection rates. 9. What can we learn about the recent study compared to the 2021 one? A. It had a larger sample size. B. It ignored statistical significance. C. It concluded vitamin D was useless. D. It found vitamin D had a stronger effect. 10. What is Manson’s view on vitamin D supplementation for the general public? A. Most people don’t need supplements. B. Everyone should take high doses daily. C. Only children require additional vitamin D. D. Supplements are more effective than sunlight. 11. Which of the following may Hensrud agree with? A. Vitamin D supplements have no health benefits. B. People should stop taking vitamin D supplements. C. Vitamin D can reduce the severity of respiratory infections. D. People shouldn’t turn to Vitamin D against respiratory infections. D In today’s world, bad news seems endless — wars, economic crises, and climate disasters fill headlines. Yet, many of us can’t stop checking our phones for updates, even late into the night. This habit, known as “doom-scrolling”, traps people in a cycle of consuming negative content. Humans naturally focus on threats — a survival need from ancient times. Early humans who noticed dangers like predators (掠食者) had better chances to survive. Modern media uses this natural ability, prioritizing shocking headlines with the rule “if it bleeds, it leads.” Social media now acts like a digital “lion in the grass”, feeding our brains endless alerts about global crises. Christopher Ferguson, a psychology professor at Stetson University, explains, “People who struggle with uncertainty are especially open to doom-scrolling.” This habit resembles contemplation (沉思) — repeating dark thoughts without solving problems. Research suggests heavy social media use may worsen mental health, linking it to depression and anxiety. Even if the cause-effect relationship is unclear, losing sleep over endless scrolling certainly harms mood. Physical effects are also emerging. Dan Nicolau, an immunobiologist at King’s College London, found that frequent social media users may have higher levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation (炎症). This could result from the body preparing for imagined threats, leading to long-term inflammation linked to diseases. To escape this cycle, start by distancing yourself from your phone. Delete app shortcuts or use tools to limit screen time. Ferguson advises, “Social media should mostly be fun. Ask yourself: Are you enjoying this?” If not, create a plan. For example, use a catchphrase like “Stop scrolling” to interrupt the habit. Finally, avoid panicking about your tech use — small, mindful steps can rebuild a healthier relationship with your devices. By understanding why doom-scrolling happens and taking practical actions, we can reclaim our time and mental well-being. His final tips? Don’t doom-scroll about doom-scrolling. “It’s healthy to reflect on our relationship with technology. Just try not to panic while doing it,” Perguson said. 12 Why do people tend to focus on threats naturally? A People enjoy consuming negative content. B. It is a survival need inherited from ancestors. C. Modern media prioritizes shocking headlines. D. Social media keeps informing us of global crises. 13. How does the author organize the information in Paragraph 3? A. By proving clear causes of health problems. B. By listing experts’ opinions from both sides. C. By showing study findings with explanations. D. By warning about risks and advising solutions. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Various doom-scrolling habits. B. Media’s role in doom-scrolling. C. The lasting effects of doom-scrolling. D. Strategies to overcome doom-scrolling. 15. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Stop researching doom-scrolling. B. Avoid discussing doom-scrolling. C. Don’t over-worry about doom-scrolling. D. Don’t learn about doom-scrolling online. 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。 It doesn’t matter if you twist and shout, if you prefer to be a dancing queen, or if you just like — in the privacy of your kitchen — a bit of dancing on the ceiling. ____16____, bopping for 20 minutes each day as you get breakfast ready could be enough to give you your recommended weekly exercise.

They were told to dance in whatever style they chose. The point was simply that they moved. And the researchers would “not really be watching” the dance moves.

While this happened, they had their heart rate and oxygen uptake measured. ____18____, according to Aston McCulloch from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. “Dance is a really accessible form of physical activity that people can do, even in their homes,” he said. “The main idea was to understand whether the intensity (强度) that people would receive from dancing freely on their own would be enough. ____19____. All adults were able to reach a health-enhancing level of activity without being told what intensity to dance at.” With guidelines recommending 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity a week, the findings suggest that four of those five-minute bursts were enough to count as a good day’s exercise. ____20____. A. And the answer was yes B. This made people feel relaxed C. Just put on your own music and dance around D. In all cases, however well or badly you dance E. The goal was to find easier ways to keep active F. For the research, 48 people were invited into the lab G.

I want to learn the drums,” I said, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. He stared at me, speechless. After all, in 35 years of marriage, my relationship with music had been practically non-existent-except for the occasional “Can you turn it down?” when things got too loud. But here I was, signing up for a drum lesson. My career in a variety of TV shows like The Grammys and The Voice must have sparked this “drum appetite” in me. Plus, I’d read that playing music could preserve brain function. With the kids grown and my work schedule easing up, I figured it was worth a try. But as soon as I signed up, anxiety hit like a tidal wave. What if I was terrible at it? What if I looked foolish? And then there was my teacher — a young musician in his 20s. The sight of him only worsened my nerves. He walked in just 30 seconds before our lesson, looking like he’d rolled out of bed and into the room. But his enthusiasm was infectious. “We get people of all ages,” he said with an encouraging smile. “You’ll do great.” He began by teaching me the names of each drum, how to properly hold the sticks, and the rhythm of counting beats. Then it was time to attempt a simple rhythm. I knew drumming would be physically demanding, but I hadn’t expected the level of balance it required. For someone who’d never been athletic or graceful, this was challenging. As I started drumming a basic rhythm, I found myself getting into the beat. It was actually fun! But then self-doubt crept in. A woman my age trying to learn drums? How stupid did I look? The more I focused on these thoughts, the more I messed up, my rhythm getting out of control with each self-conscious moment. 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。 For a moment, the idea of quitting crossed my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In my last class, my teacher said he was proud of me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 2024～2025年度高二期末调研考试 英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，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。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

In 1965, he founded the National Youth Jazz Orchestra (NYJO) , a groundbreaking organization dedicated to cultivating young jazz musicians in the UK. In 2011, Bill Ashton shared an old recording with The Times. The record, made in 2000, captured 16-year-old Amy Winehouse’s first public performance with the orchestra at a hotel. Ashton introduced her by saying, “Her name is Amy Winehouse,” before she sang Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out. At first, the crowd doubted she would sing, but she surprised everyone with her powerful voice and confidence. After finishing four songs, Ashton praised her, saying, “With that confidence, she has a bright future.” Ashton found Winehouse through Sylvia Young, founder of her school. At early rehearsals, she seemed shy, but when she sang, she amazed everyone. The recording happened because the original singer canceled last-minute. Ashton called Winehouse just two hours before the show. She agreed, learned the songs on the subway, and performed perfectly. Winehouse kept singing with NYJO occasionally until 2002. After her death at 27, Ashton shared the record to show her early talent. He said, “She was special from the start,” proving how her incredible journey began. Under his leadership, NYJO became a platform for ambitious artists to develop their skills, cooperate with professionals, and perform nationally and internationally. Ashton’s vision emphasized accessibility and excellence, bridging the gap between education and professional jazz. He also composed works for the orchestra and advocated for jazz inclusion in formal music curricula (课程). His legacy lives on through generations of musicians who credit NYJO as a starting point for their careers, stabilizing his impact on British jazz culture. 4. What was the primary goal of Bill Ashton in creating NYJO? A. To replace music education in schools. B. To compose music for young musicians. C. To compete in international competitions. D. To provide a platform for future jazz artists. 5. What can we learn about Winehouse’s first public performance? A. She prepared for two weeks. B. She was the scheduled singer. C. She had been popular before that. D. She performed well with confidence. 6. Why did Bill Ashton share the recording in 2011? A. To show her lack of professionalism. B.

A 2021 paper by the same team had found a slight but statistically significant protective effect (8%) against acute respiratory infections from taking vitamin D. The most recent analysis collected data from nearly four dozen clinical trials involving more than 60,000 participants and added the results of three new large trials to the previous data. The updated analysis found a negligible — or non-statistically significant — protective effect (6%) from the supplements. It’s still possible the vitamin supplementation could reduce the severity and duration of such infections, “but we did not address this question,” said Adrian Martineau, a clinical professor at Queen Mary University of London and the study’s senior author. Vitamin D is one of the supplements most commonly taken by U.S. adults, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “We need only small-to-moderate amounts of vitamin D, and most people are already getting what they need without taking supplements,” said JoAnn E. Manson, co-author of the study and a professor at Harvard Medical School. Donald Hensrud, a nutrition specialist at the Mayo Clinic, who was not involved in the study, pointed out that the 2021 paper and the recent study both showed “vitamin D probably does not help reduce respiratory infections, but even if it did, the effect is relatively small.” Hensrud added that individuals should consider supplementation in certain cases. “If you’re part of a high-risk group for vitamin D deficiency (缺乏), then talk to your doctor,” he said. “Importantly, be physically active outdoors and eat healthfully. Dietary supplements will never be a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle.” 8. What is vitamin D’s effect on acute respiratory infections? A. It worsens the symptoms. B. It has little protective effect. C. It completely prevents infections. D. It significantly reduces infection rates. 9. What can we learn about the recent study compared to the 2021 one? A. It had a larger sample size. B. It ignored statistical significance. C. It concluded vitamin D was useless. D. It found vitamin D had a stronger effect. 10. What is Manson’s view on vitamin D supplementation for the general public? A. Most people don’t need supplements. B. Everyone should take high doses daily. C. Only children require additional vitamin D. D. Supplements are more effective than sunlight. 11. Which of the following may Hensrud agree with? A. Vitamin D supplements have no health benefits. B. People should stop taking vitamin D supplements. C. Vitamin D can reduce the severity of respiratory infections. D. People shouldn’t turn to Vitamin D against respiratory infections. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍最新研究发现维生素D补充剂对急性呼吸道感染防护效果甚微。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The updated analysis found a negligible — or non-statistically significant — protective effect (6%) from the supplements.(最新分析发现，补充剂的保护作用可忽略不计——或无统计学意义——为6%)”可知，维生素D对急性呼吸道感染几乎没有保护作用。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The most recent analysis collected data from nearly four dozen clinical trials involving more than 60,000 participants and added the results of three new large trials to the previous data.(最近的分析收集了近48项涉及6万多名参与者的临床试验数据，并将三项新的大型试验结果添加到之前的数据中)”可知，与2021年的研究相比，最近的研究样本量更大。故选A项。 10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的““We need only small-to-moderate amounts of vitamin D, and most people are already getting what they need without taking supplements,” said JoAnn E. Manson, co-author of the study and a professor at Harvard Medical School.(该研究的合著者、哈佛医学院教授乔安·曼森说：“我们只需要少量到中等量的维生素D，大多数人已经在不服用补充剂的情况下获得了所需的量。” )”可知，曼森认为大多数人不需要补充维生素D。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Donald Hensrud, a nutrition specialist at the Mayo Clinic, who was not involved in the study, pointed out that the 2021 paper and the recent study both showed “vitamin D probably does not help reduce respiratory infections, but even if it did, the effect is relatively small.”(梅奥诊所的营养专家唐纳德·亨斯鲁德没有参与这项研究，他指出，2021年的论文和最近的研究都表明，“维生素D可能无助于减少呼吸道感染，但即使有帮助，效果也相对较小。”)”以及最后一段中的“Dietary supplements will never be a substitute for a healthy diet and lifestyle.(膳食补充剂永远无法替代健康的饮食和生活方式。)”可知，亨斯鲁德可能会同意人们不应该依靠维生素D来预防呼吸道感染。故选D项。 D In today’s world, bad news seems endless — wars, economic crises, and climate disasters fill headlines. Yet, many of us can’t stop checking our phones for updates, even late into the night. This habit, known as “doom-scrolling”, traps people in a cycle of consuming negative content. Humans naturally focus on threats — a survival need from ancient times. Early humans who noticed dangers like predators (掠食者) had better chances to survive. Modern media uses this natural ability, prioritizing shocking headlines with the rule “if it bleeds, it leads.” Social media now acts like a digital “lion in the grass”, feeding our brains endless alerts about global crises. Christopher Ferguson, a psychology professor at Stetson University, explains, “People who struggle with uncertainty are especially open to doom-scrolling.” This habit resembles contemplation (沉思) — repeating dark thoughts without solving problems. Research suggests heavy social media use may worsen mental health, linking it to depression and anxiety. Even if the cause-effect relationship is unclear, losing sleep over endless scrolling certainly harms mood. Physical effects are also emerging. Dan Nicolau, an immunobiologist at King’s College London, found that frequent social media users may have higher levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation (炎症). This could result from the body preparing for imagined threats, leading to long-term inflammation linked to diseases. To escape this cycle, start by distancing yourself from your phone. Delete app shortcuts or use tools to limit screen time. Ferguson advises, “Social media should mostly be fun. Ask yourself: Are you enjoying this?” If not, create a plan. For example, use a catchphrase like “Stop scrolling” to interrupt the habit. Finally, avoid panicking about your tech use — small, mindful steps can rebuild a healthier relationship with your devices. By understanding why doom-scrolling happens and taking practical actions, we can reclaim our time and mental well-being. His final tips? Don’t doom-scroll about doom-scrolling. “It’s healthy to reflect on our relationship with technology. Just try not to panic while doing it,” Perguson said. 12. Why do people tend to focus on threats naturally? A. People enjoy consuming negative content. B. It is a survival need inherited from ancestors. C. Modern media prioritizes shocking headlines. D. Social media keeps informing us of global crises. 13. How does the author organize the information in Paragraph 3? A. By proving clear causes of health problems. B. By listing experts’ opinions from both sides. C. By showing study findings with explanations. D. By warning about risks and advising solutions. 14. What does Paragraph 4 mainly talk about? A. Various doom-scrolling habits. B. Media’s role in doom-scrolling. C. The lasting effects of doom-scrolling. D. Strategies to overcome doom-scrolling. 15. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean? A. Stop researching doom-scrolling. B. Avoid discussing doom-scrolling. C. Don’t over-worry about doom-scrolling. D. Don’t learn about doom-scrolling online. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了“末日刷屏”这一现象，包括其产生的原因、对人们身心健康的影响以及克服这一习惯的策略。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Humans naturally focus on threats — a survival need from ancient times. Early humans who noticed dangers like predators (掠食者) had better chances to survive. (人类天生就关注威胁 —— 这是从古代遗传下来的生存需求。早期注意到掠食者等危险的人类有更好的生存机会。)”可知，人们倾向于关注威胁是因为这是从祖先那里遗传下来的生存需求。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Research suggests heavy social media use may worsen mental health, linking it to depression and anxiety. (研究表明，过度使用社交媒体可能会恶化心理健康，将其与抑郁和焦虑联系起来。)”以及“Dan Nicolau, an immunobiologist at King’s College London, found that frequent social media users may have higher levels of C-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation (炎症). This could result from the body preparing for imagined threats, leading to long-term inflammation linked to diseases. (伦敦国王学院的免疫生物学家丹·尼科劳发现，频繁使用社交媒体的人体内C反应蛋白水平可能更高，这是一种炎症标志物。这可能是由于身体为想象中的威胁做准备，导致与疾病相关的长期炎症。)”可知，作者在第三段中通过展示研究结果并给出解释来组织信息。故选C项。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“To escape this cycle, start by distancing yourself from your phone. (为了摆脱这个循环，首先要远离你的手机。)”以及“Finally, avoid panicking about your tech use — small, mindful steps can rebuild a healthier relationship with your devices. (最后，不要对你的科技使用感到恐慌 —— 小而谨慎的步骤可以重建你与设备之间更健康的关系。)”可知，第四段主要讨论了克服“末日刷屏”的策略。故选D项。 【15题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段中划线句后Perguson所说的“It’s healthy to reflect on our relationship with technology. Just try not to panic while doing it (反思我们与技术的关系是健康的。只是尽量不要在这样做的时候感到恐慌)”可知，Perguson建议不要过度恐慌于“末日刷屏”这一行为，即不要过度担心“末日刷屏”。所以划线句子的意思是“不要过度担心‘末日刷屏’”。故选C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。 It doesn’t matter if you twist and shout, if you prefer to be a dancing queen, or if you just like — in the privacy of your kitchen — a bit of dancing on the ceiling. ____16____, bopping for 20 minutes each day as you get breakfast ready could be enough to give you your recommended weekly exercise. That is the conclusion of a small study that looked into the cardiovascular (心血管的) benefits of what scientists called “solo freeform dancing”. ____17____. They were told to dance in whatever style they chose. The point was simply that they moved. And the researchers would “not really be watching” the dance moves. Reassured, the participants then danced in five-minute bursts. While this happened, they had their heart rate and oxygen uptake measured. ____18____, according to Aston McCulloch from Northeastern University in Boston, Massachusetts. “Dance is a really accessible form of physical activity that people can do, even in their homes,” he said. “The main idea was to understand whether the intensity (强度) that people would receive from dancing freely on their own would be enough. ____19____. All adults were able to reach a health-enhancing level of activity without being told what intensity to dance at.” With guidelines recommending 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous (剧烈的) physical activity a week, the findings suggest that four of those five-minute bursts were enough to count as a good day’s exercise. ____20____. A. And the answer was yes B. This made people feel relaxed C. Just put on your own music and dance around D. In all cases, however well or badly you dance E.

I want to learn the drums,” I said, my voice steady despite the butterflies in my stomach. He stared at me, speechless. After all, in 35 years of marriage, my relationship with music had been practically non-existent-except for the occasional “Can you turn it down?” when things got too loud. But here I was, signing up for a drum lesson. My career in a variety of TV shows like The Grammys and The Voice must have sparked this “drum appetite” in me. Plus, I’d read that playing music could preserve brain function. With the kids grown and my work schedule easing up, I figured it was worth a try. But as soon as I signed up, anxiety hit like a tidal wave. What if I was terrible at it? What if I looked foolish? And then there was my teacher — a young musician in his 20s. The sight of him only worsened my nerves. He walked in just 30 seconds before our lesson, looking like he’d rolled out of bed and into the room. But his enthusiasm was infectious. “We get people of all ages,” he said with an encouraging smile. “You’ll do great.” He began by teaching me the names of each drum, how to properly hold the sticks, and the rhythm of counting beats. Then it was time to attempt a simple rhythm. I knew drumming would be physically demanding, but I hadn’t expected the level of balance it required. For someone who’d never been athletic or graceful, this was challenging. As I started drumming a basic rhythm, I found myself getting into the beat. It was actually fun! But then self-doubt crept in. A woman my age trying to learn drums? How stupid did I look? The more I focused on these thoughts, the more I messed up, my rhythm getting out of control with each self-conscious moment. 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。 For a moment, the idea of quitting crossed my mind. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ In my last class, my teacher said he was proud of me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: For a moment, the idea of quitting crossed my mind. My hands shook as sticks slipped. The drum set suddenly seemed like a mountain. “Breathe,” my teacher reminded gently, tapping his chest. “Rhythm starts here.” Swallowing pride, I remembered why I began — to challenge boredom, not to be perfect. Slowly, I copied his counting, matching breaths to beats. Progress felt tiny, but his nod gave me determination. When I finally got a four-beat rhythm right, his cheer drowned out self-doubt. Maybe imperfection had its own music. In my last class, my teacher said he was proud of me. He handed me an old practice pad and grinned, “Keep surprising yourself” Months ago, I’d feared what others thought, now my hands and the rhyme told a louder story. At home, my husband peeked into the garage now used as my studio, amused at my focused playing. “Dinner’s ready, rockstar,” he teased. Laughter mixed with drum sounds — proof that courage beat embarrassment. The drums, once strange to my ears, now danced to my own heartbeat. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索，讲述了作者在35年婚姻生活中几乎与音乐绝缘后，决定报名学习打鼓的经历。从最初的焦虑、自我怀疑，到在老师的鼓励下逐渐找到节奏，最终在最后一节课上得到老师的认可的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“有那么一刻，我想过放弃”可知，第一段可以描写作者克服困难，逐步取得进步的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在我的最后一节课上，我的老师说他为我感到骄傲。”可知，第二段可描写作者在最后一节课上老师的认可与评价、丈夫的支持以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：动摇想放弃——老师提醒鼓励——回忆学鼓初衷——专注节奏进步——老师赠礼认可——丈夫调侃支持——感悟勇气价值 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①颤抖：shook/tremble/shiver ②轻拍：tap/pat 情感类： ①使惊讶：surprise/astonish ②尴尬：embarrassment/ awkwardness 【点睛】[高分句型 1] Swallowing pride, I remembered why I began — to challenge boredom, not to be perfect.（运用了现在分词短语作状语以及why引导的宾语从句） [高分句型 2] When I finally got a four-beat rhythm right, his cheer drowned out self-doubt.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
