How long is an adult volunteer expected to spend gardening each month? A. 8 hours. B. 12 hours. C. 16 hours. D. 24 hours. 2. Which is a criterion for selecting volunteers at The Huntington? A. Previous volunteer experience. B. Personal development prospects. C. Interest in the institution's collections. D. Willingness to attend training sessions. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A service website. B. A news report. C. A volunteer brochure. D. A community noticeboard. B Passionate about the environment since she was young, Sophie Weenink organized her first official environmental protection event at age 13. It was a beach cleanup she posted on her social media. She thought she might get ten people at most, but 200 showed up. The community's support drove her ambition for change. Since then, Sophie has organized large events on a zero budget. One of Sophie's major hopes for the future is that we can preserve all our beautiful environments. She thinks we often take what we have in our country for granted. A trip overseas can make us realize how beautiful it is here and why we must fight to protect our environment. Sophie's decision to become heavily involved in Giving Aroha, a volunteer-based organization, was made during her river cleanup. She found a tent and sleeping bags that belonged to people living in difficult conditions. This encounter made Sophie realize how hard life was for some people, which inspired her to find solutions to help the homeless. Since then, she has raised thousands of dollars for this organization. Sophie says the housing crisis and climate change are major problems today. Through her work, she has tried to make an impact by finding solutions. However, as these are huge issues, she says it helps to find a community of people who also want to make a change. As a group, it is much easier to create collective change. But one person can also make a big impact by educating others. It helps us understand why we need to make a change and inspire them to make a difference rather than leaving it to future generations. Sophie says being passionate and strong about what we’re doing is crucial. People often look to others to take the first step. They may be eager to act, but they are held back by hindrances — be it time limitations or a lack of experience — that block their path. For those who want to start taking action, she says just start small, by doing grassroots actions in our personal lives or communities. 4. What motivated Sophie to help the homeless? A. The encouragement she received from social media. B The reality that climate change affects housing. C. A desire to expand her volunteer work into social issues. D. A discovery of their terrible living conditions. 5. What helps create meaningful change according to Sophie? A. School education. B. Community collaboration. C. Government support. D. Strict environmental regulations. 6. What does the underlined word “hindrances” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Obstacles. B. Warnings. C. Failures. D. Disagreements. 7. Which of the following can best describe Sophie? A. Conventional and cautious. B. Humorous and considerate. C. dedicated and committed. D. Sympathetic and reserved. C Economist Tyler Cowen argues that traditional interview methods are not effective in determining the best candidates for a job, especially in creative roles. Candidates who are well-prepared often pass these interviews, but this only tests their preparation and not their abilities. To determine the best candidate Cowen suggests that interviewers concentrate on authenticity(真实性) and spontaneity(自发性) in their interactions with candidates, rather than relying on pre- written questions. The interviewer should be trustworthy, Cowen argues, as it helps them better evaluate the authenticity of candidates. Eventually,“ better allocation(分配) of talent” contributes to economic growth, and more thoughtful interview methods can help identify more talented individuals and promote them to greater opportunities. Cowen adds,“ There are too many interview questions, and every interviewer is ready. For example, ‘What mistakes did you make in your previous job?’ But many candidates just didn’t prepare well and didn’t provide a good answer. So in most cases, you end up testing how well candidates prepare, rather than their actual abilities. But for more creative jobs, you will lose candidates with other qualities.” “How to get people into what I call the ‘Real Mode’ largely depends on who they are, as well as who you are. If I am interviewing a candidate, my favorite discussions are just those without preparation. I prefer to have these conversations without asking questions. I hope they are natural. I like spontaneity— how to achieve it depends on the environment, work, and how much time you have.” “An estimate suggests that since the 1960s, 20% to 40% of US economic growth has come from’ better talent allocation’. If we had a fresher and more creative interview process, I do think people would be more thoughtful. They will think more deeply about the work they will be engaged in. I think we will find talents that we haven’t seen so far. We will enable more people to have greater opportunities.” 8. What core limitation of traditional interviews does Cowen mention? A. They focus too much on past work experiences. B. They overemphasize academic qualifications. C. They favor prepared responses over insight. D. They assess preparation rather than true competence. 9. Why does Cowen value interviewer trustworthiness? A. It puts candidates at ease. B. It helps reveal candidates’ genuine qualities. C. It ensures fairness in the selection process. D. It increases the efficiency of choosing candidates. 10. What impact would a more innovative interview process have on candidates? A. They would reflect more on work. B They would face stricter evaluation standards. C. They would encounter more spontaneous questions. D. They would spend less time making preparation. 11. What message does Cowen want to convey? A. Individual efforts are not enough to create lasting change. B. Creating structured interviews is key to long-term progress. C. Addressing social issues must start with better planned formats. D. Small changes to the process can lead to great outcomes. D Seabird colony survey data collected over 55 years were used to estimate the number of birds nesting on the 280 atolls (环礁) in the Indo-Pacific. The study, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, also measured the nutrient contribution of the birds to the ecosystem. Atolls are ring-shaped coral reef islands that enclose a lagoon (环礁湖). They form when a dead volcano sinks lower, leaving behind the coral reef that has grown around its edge. Of the approximately 440 atolls in the world, most are in the Pacific Ocean. Their combined surface area makes up only about 0.02% of the total island area in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the new study shows that their importance to seabirds far outweighs their relatively small total area.“ We calculate that over 31 million seabirds — about 25% of the world’s tropical seabirds — are nesting on atolls,” says first author Sebastian Steibl from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.“ At least 14 seabird species have more than half of their global populations nesting on atolls.” This is also just a small part of historical populations using the atolls for breeding and nesting. The authors also note the importance of seabirds and, by extension, the atolls they rely on for the broader ecosystem. “Seabirds are globally important mediators of ecological connectivity between land and sea,” they write. “They transport nutrients in the form of bird droppings from marine feeding grounds to their nesting sites.” The research highlights the importance of conserving seabird colonies and the atolls amid growing environmental challenges such as warming oceans and rising sea levels. “Protecting atolls is therefore not only important for seabird conservation — in turn, seabirds on atolls are also supporting the functioning of the atolls themselves, which might be key to building resilience (适应力) against climate change,” Steibl says. “Many atoll islands that bear legacies of exploitation are now uninhabited,” says Steibl. “Building on the globally recognized importance of atolls for seabird conservation, these uninhabited atoll islands offer themselves as main target sites for future seabird conservation and restoration plans.” 12. What’s the main function of the first two paragraphs? A. To show key research findings. B. To offer a definition of atolls. C. To provide background information. D. To arouse public interest in atolls. 13. What can be learned about seabirds? A. They help coral reefs grow faster. B. They are experiencing a global decline. C. They mainly nest away from marine areas. D. They transfer nutrients between ecosystems. 14. Why does Steibl consider some atoll islands as ideal places for future seabird preservation? A. They experience little human disturbance. B. They have large lagoons for nesting. C. They offer abundant food sources for seabirds. D. They have warm climates suitable for many bird species. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Seabirds and Atolls: Hope for Ecological Restoration B. Seabird Populations and Atoll Ecosystems Under Threat C. Small Atolls, Powerful Seabirds: A Critical Ecological Link D. Seabirds’ Impact on Atoll Islands and Their Environment 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。 Life moves fast, and we often find ourselves juggling various responsibilities — parenting, household chores, and work.

Every day after school, he dedicated countless hours to improving his dribbling (控球), shooting, and footwork. He firmly believed that as long as he worked hard enough, nothing could stop him. However, Jack often felt his teammates were not good enough. They were too slow or clumsy during games. Gradually, he became convinced that he had to carry the team on his own, During matches, Jack took every chance to display his skills. He seldom passed the ball, thinking that scoring enough points by himself would guarantee victory, no matter how poorly the others performed. When his teammates asked for passes, he ignored them, unwilling to trust their abilities." They might ruin the game," he often told himself. After all, Jack was the best player on the team — wasn't that enough? The interschool league final was the most important game of the season, and the gym was packed with cheering fans from both schools. Jack felt the pressure but also the excitement. From the beginning, he dribbled past opponents and made several impressive shots, quickly scoring points for his team. His teammates ran fast, tried to find open spaces, and shouted for the ball. But Jack held onto it tightly, believing he could bring the victory by himself. As the game progressed, the opposing team noticed Jack's playing style and began surrounding him with two or three defenders whenever he had the ball. Jack found it difficult to break free and missed several easy shots. Meanwhile, his teammates stayed ready and eager to help, but Jack rarely passed to them. The harder he tried to win alone, the more mistakes he made. His shots missed the basket, and his passes were intercepted (拦截). As a result, his team lost by a wide margin (大比分). 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Jack sat alone in the locker room, struggling to face the defeat despite his efforts. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the new season began, the team transformed remarkably. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 湛江第一中学2024~2025学年度第二学期期末考试 高二英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷满分120分，考试时间120分钟。 2.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 3.本卷命题范围：人教版选择性必修第四册Unit 3~Unit 5。 第一部分阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A Already a volunteer?

Which of the following can best describe Sophie? A. Conventional and cautious. B. Humorous and considerate. C. dedicated and committed. D. Sympathetic and reserved. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7.

This encounter made Sophie realize how hard life was for some people, which inspired her to find solutions to help the homeless.(她发现了属于生活困难人群的帐篷和睡袋。这次经历让索菲意识到一些人的生活有多艰难，这激发了她寻找帮助无家可归者的办法)”可知，是发现无家可归者糟糕的生活条件激励索菲去帮助他们。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“However, as these are huge issues, she says it helps to find a community of people who also want to make a change. As a group, it is much easier to create collective change.(然而，由于这些是重大问题，她说找到一群同样想做出改变的人组成社区会有帮助。作为一个群体，更容易实现共同的改变)”可知，索菲认为社区协作有助于带来有意义的改变。故选B项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“People often look to others to take the first step. They may be eager to act, but they are held back by hindrances — be it time limitations or a lack of experience — that block their path.(人们常常期待别人迈出第一步。他们可能渴望行动，但他们被hindrances所阻碍——无论是时间限制还是缺乏经验——这些都阻碍了他们的道路)”可知，“time limitations(时间限制)”和“a lack of experience(缺乏经验)”都是阻碍人们行动的因素，所以hindrances意思是“Obstacles(障碍)”故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Passionate about the environment since she was young, Sophie Weenink organized her first official environmental protection event at age 13. Since then, Sophie has organized large events on a zero budget.(自小就热衷于环保的索菲・维宁克在 13 岁时组织了她的第一次正式环保活动。从那以后，索菲零预算组织了大型活动)”，这表明索菲对环保事业充满热忱且坚定投入，体现出她的“dedicated(专注的)”；再根据第三段“She found a tent and sleeping bags that belonged to people living in difficult conditions. This encounter made Sophie realize how hard life was for some people, which inspired her to find solutions to help the homeless. Since then, she has raised thousands of dollars for this organization.(她发现了属于生活困难人群的帐篷和睡袋。这次相遇让索菲意识到一些人的生活有多艰难，这促使她寻找帮助无家可归者的办法。从那以后，她为这个组织筹集了数千美元)”，说明她不仅关注环境问题，还对帮助弱势群体尽心尽力，凸显其“committed(尽责的)” 。故选C项。 C Economist Tyler Cowen argues that traditional interview methods are not effective in determining the best candidates for a job, especially in creative roles.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要论述经济学家泰勒·考恩认为传统面试方法在选拔人才尤其是创意岗位人才时效果不佳，并提出应注重面试互动中的真实性和自发性，还阐述了创新面试流程的重要意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Candidates who are well-prepared often pass these interviews, but this only tests their preparation and not their abilities.(准备充分的候选人通常能通过这些面试，但这仅仅测试了他们的准备情况，而非他们的能力)”可知，考恩提到传统面试的核心局限在于它们评估的是准备情况而非真正的能力。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The interviewer should be trustworthy, Cowen argues, as it helps them better evaluate the authenticity of candidates.(考恩认为，面试官应该值得信赖，因为这有助于他们更好地评估候选人的真实性)”可知，考恩重视面试官的可信度是因为这有助于揭示候选人的真实品质。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“If we had a fresher and more creative interview process, I do think people would be more thoughtful. They will think more deeply about the work they will be engaged in.(如果我们有一个更新颖、更有创意的面试流程，我确实认为人们会更深入思考。他们会更深入地思考他们将要从事的工作)”可知，更具创新性的面试流程会让候选人对工作进行更多反思。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““An estimate suggests that since the 1960s, 20% to 40% of US economic growth has come from’ better talent allocation’. If we had a fresher and more creative interview process, I do think people would be more thoughtful. They will think more deeply about the work they will be engaged in. I think we will find talents that we haven’t seen so far. We will enable more people to have greater opportunities.”(一项评估表明，自 20 世纪 60 年代以来，美国 20% 至 40% 的经济增长源于 “更合理的人才配置”。如果我们有一个更新颖、更具创意的面试流程，我确实认为人们会思考得更深入。他们会对自己将要从事的工作进行更深入的思考。我认为我们会发现那些至今尚未被发掘的人才。我们将让更多人获得更好的机会)”可知，考恩指出从 20 世纪 60 年代起，美国经济增长部分源于 “更好的人才分配” ，而一个更新颖、更有创意的面试流程，即对面试过程做出小改变，就能让人们更深入思考工作，发现更多人才，为更多人提供机会，带来大的成果。所以考恩想要传达的信息是小改变能带来大成果，故选D项。 D Seabird colony survey data collected over 55 years were used to estimate the number of birds nesting on the 280 atolls (环礁) in the Indo-Pacific. The study, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, also measured the nutrient contribution of the birds to the ecosystem. Atolls are ring-shaped coral reef islands that enclose a lagoon (环礁湖). They form when a dead volcano sinks lower, leaving behind the coral reef that has grown around its edge. Of the approximately 440 atolls in the world, most are in the Pacific Ocean. Their combined surface area makes up only about 0.02% of the total island area in the Indo-Pacific region. However, the new study shows that their importance to seabirds far outweighs their relatively small total area.“ We calculate that over 31 million seabirds — about 25% of the world’s tropical seabirds — are nesting on atolls,” says first author Sebastian Steibl from the University of Auckland in New Zealand.“ At least 14 seabird species have more than half of their global populations nesting on atolls.” This is also just a small part of historical populations using the atolls for breeding and nesting. The authors also note the importance of seabirds and, by extension, the atolls they rely on for the broader ecosystem. “Seabirds are globally important mediators of ecological connectivity between land and sea,” they write. “They transport nutrients in the form of bird droppings from marine feeding grounds to their nesting sites.” The research highlights the importance of conserving seabird colonies and the atolls amid growing environmental challenges such as warming oceans and rising sea levels. “Protecting atolls is therefore not only important for seabird conservation — in turn, seabirds on atolls are also supporting the functioning of the atolls themselves, which might be key to building resilience (适应力) against climate change,” Steibl says. “Many atoll islands that bear legacies of exploitation are now uninhabited,” says Steibl. “Building on the globally recognized importance of atolls for seabird conservation, these uninhabited atoll islands offer themselves as main target sites for future seabird conservation and restoration plans.” 12. What’s the main function of the first two paragraphs? A. To show key research findings. B. To offer a definition of atolls. C. To provide background information. D. To arouse public interest in atolls. 13. What can be learned about seabirds? A. They help coral reefs grow faster. B. They are experiencing a global decline. C. They mainly nest away from marine areas. D. They transfer nutrients between ecosystems. 14. Why does Steibl consider some atoll islands as ideal places for future seabird preservation? A. They experience little human disturbance. B. They have large lagoons for nesting. C. They offer abundant food sources for seabirds. D. They have warm climates suitable for many bird species. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Seabirds and Atolls: Hope for Ecological Restoration B. Seabird Populations and Atoll Ecosystems Under Threat C. Small Atolls, Powerful Seabirds: A Critical Ecological Link D. Seabirds’ Impact on Atoll Islands and Their Environment 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项关于印度洋-平洋地区环礁上海鸟筑巢情况的研究，阐述环礁虽面积小，但对海鸟意义重大，同时强调海鸟与环礁对生态系统的重要性及保护它们的意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Seabird colony survey data collected over 55 years were used to estimate the number of birds nesting on the 280 atolls (环礁) in the Indo-Pacific. The study, published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution, also measured the nutrient contribution of the birds to the ecosystem. (研究人员利用 55 年来收集的海鸟种群调查数据，对印度洋-太平洋地区280个环礁上筑巢的海鸟数量进行了估算。这项发表在《自然・生态与进化》杂志上的研究，还评估了这些海鸟对生态系统的养分贡献) ”，说明研究利用长期收集的数据对特定环礁上的海鸟筑巢数量及对生态系统营养贡献进行研究；根据第二段“Atolls are ring-shaped coral reef islands that enclose a lagoon (环礁湖). They form when a dead volcano sinks lower, leaving behind the coral reef that has grown around its edge. Of the approximately 440 atolls in the world, most are in the Pacific Ocean. Their combined surface area makes up only about 0.02% of the total island area in the Indo-Pacific region.(环礁是环形的珊瑚礁岛，环绕着一个环礁湖。它们形成于死火山下沉时，留下了在其边缘生长的珊瑚礁。在世界上大约440个环礁中，大多数位于太平洋。它们的总面积仅占印度洋-太平洋地区岛屿总面积的约0.02%) ”可知，介绍了环礁的定义、形成过程、分布以及在该地区的面积占比。这些信息为后文关于海鸟与环礁关系以及研究成果的论述提供了背景。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Seabirds are globally important mediators of ecological connectivity between land and sea. They transport nutrients in the form of bird droppings from marine feeding grounds to their nesting sites.(海鸟是全球陆地与海洋生态连通性的重要调节者。它们以鸟粪的形式将营养物质从海洋觅食地输送到筑巢地点)”可知，海鸟在不同生态系统之间转移营养物质。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Many atoll islands that bear legacies of exploitation are now uninhabited. Building on the globally recognized importance of atolls for seabird conservation, these uninhabited atoll islands offer themselves as main target sites for future seabird conservation and restoration plans.(许多曾被开发利用的环礁岛如今无人居住。基于环礁对海鸟保护的全球公认的重要性，这些无人居住的环礁岛成为未来海鸟保护和恢复计划的主要目标地点)”可知，这些环礁岛无人居住，较少受到人类干扰，所以Steibl认为它们是未来海鸟保护的理想之地。故选A项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。主要介绍一项关于印度洋-太平洋地区环礁上海鸟筑巢情况的研究，阐述环礁虽面积小，但对海鸟意义重大，同时强调海鸟与环礁对生态系统的重要性及保护它们的意义。C选项“小环礁，强大的海鸟：关键的生态联系”准确概括了文章主旨，为最佳标题。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。 Life moves fast, and we often find ourselves juggling various responsibilities — parenting, household chores, and work.

With a bit of strategic planning, you can make rewarding yourself a meaningful part of your daily routine. ___17___ . Not all rewards are created equal.

By choosing rewards that match your preferences, you can enhance your satisfaction and motivation in daily life. Tie rewards to specific achievements. Make sure your treats depend on completing particular tasks or reaching certain goals. Having a direct link between the goal or task and the treat gives you more support to engage in the behavior you’re aiming to achieve. ___18___ . Practice moderation. ___19___ . However, it’s more effective to treat yourself occasionally. If you reward yourself too often, it becomes an expectation rather than a treat. Additionally, rewards shouldn’t lead to stress, like overspending on things that burden your budget. Ensure your rewards are truly beneficial. ___20___ . And evaluate whether your rewards are truly helping you. If necessary, adjust your approach to strengthen your goals or tasks. Additionally, consider how these rewards contribute to your progress and motivation, helping you stay on track toward your goals. A. Consider uncommon gifts B. Identify meaningful rewards C. These rewards go beyond simple pleasures D. Take a moment to reflect on what you’ve achieved E. It would be nice to reward yourself for everything you do F. This connection helps strengthen positive habits and motivates progress G. Such a relationship makes it easier to track your progress toward the goal 【答案】16. C 17. B 18. F 19. E 20. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要探讨了在忙碌生活中进行自我奖励的重要性，并提供了一些关于如何有效进行自我奖励的方法，强调自我奖励是维护心理健康的关键部分，需通过策略性规划将其融入日常生活。 【16题详解】 前文提到“While taking time for self-reward might seem like a luxury, it’s actually an essential part of maintaining mental well - being.(虽然花时间进行自我奖励看似奢侈，但实际上是维持心理健康的重要部分)”，后文指出“they’re about being intentional with self-care.(它们关乎有意识地进行自我关怀)”可知，选项承上启下，进一步解释了自我奖励的意义。These rewards与前后文的self-reward相呼应。C选项“这些奖励不仅仅是简单的愉悦”符合语境。故选C项。 【17题详解】 此空为段落小标题。后文提到“Not all rewards are created equal. So choose treats that genuinely make you happy and boost your well-being.(并非所有奖励都是一样的。所以要选择真正能让你开心并提升幸福感的犒赏)”可知，本段强调要挑选有意义的奖励。B选项“确定有意义的奖励”能够准确概括该段内容，适合作小标题，故选B项。 【18题详解】 前文提到“Tie rewards to specific achievements. Make sure your treats depend on completing particular tasks or reaching certain goals. Having a direct link between the goal or task and the treat gives you more support to engage in the behavior you're aiming to achieve.(将奖励与特定成就联系起来。确保你的犒赏取决于完成特定任务或达到特定目标。在目标或任务与犒赏之间建立直接联系，会给你更多动力去做出你想要达成的行为)”推知，空处应承接上文进一步说明这种联系对强化习惯和激励进步的作用。F选项“这种联系有助于强化积极的习惯并激励进步”符合语境，故选F项。 【19题详解】 后文提到“However, it’s more effective to treat yourself occasionally. If you reward yourself too often, it becomes an expectation rather than a treat.(然而，偶尔犒劳自己会更有效。如果你过于频繁地奖励自己，它就会变成一种预期，而不是一种犒赏)”可知，通过“However”进行转折，说明过于频繁奖励不好，那么前文应是表达一种看似合理但实际不太恰当的做法。E选项“为自己所做的每件事都奖励自己会很不错”符合语境，故选E项。 【20题详解】 根据前文“Ensure your rewards are truly beneficial.(确保你的奖励是真正有益的)”和后文“And evaluate whether your rewards are truly helping you.(并评估你的奖励是否真的对你有帮助)”可知，选项起到承上启下，在确保奖励有益的基础上，通过反思成就来评估奖励是否有帮助。D选项“花点时间反思你所取得的成就”，符合语境，故选D项。 第二部分 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。 I began to study English when I was 10 years old.

Every day after school, he dedicated countless hours to improving his dribbling (控球), shooting, and footwork. He firmly believed that as long as he worked hard enough, nothing could stop him. However, Jack often felt his teammates were not good enough. They were too slow or clumsy during games. Gradually, he became convinced that he had to carry the team on his own, During matches, Jack took every chance to display his skills. He seldom passed the ball, thinking that scoring enough points by himself would guarantee victory, no matter how poorly the others performed. When his teammates asked for passes, he ignored them, unwilling to trust their abilities." They might ruin the game," he often told himself. After all, Jack was the best player on the team — wasn't that enough? The interschool league final was the most important game of the season, and the gym was packed with cheering fans from both schools. Jack felt the pressure but also the excitement. From the beginning, he dribbled past opponents and made several impressive shots, quickly scoring points for his team. His teammates ran fast, tried to find open spaces, and shouted for the ball. But Jack held onto it tightly, believing he could bring the victory by himself. As the game progressed, the opposing team noticed Jack's playing style and began surrounding him with two or three defenders whenever he had the ball. Jack found it difficult to break free and missed several easy shots. Meanwhile, his teammates stayed ready and eager to help, but Jack rarely passed to them. The harder he tried to win alone, the more mistakes he made. His shots missed the basket, and his passes were intercepted (拦截).

He hung his head in shame, replaying the game in his mind. He realized his over - confidence and refusal to pass had cost the team dearly. His teammates had tried their best, but he had let his ego get in the way. Just then, the coach walked in. Instead of scolding, he sat beside Jack and said, “Basketball is a team sport. You're talented, but without unity, we can't win. Learn from this, and you'll be a real leader.” Jack nodded, determined to change. When the new season began, the team transformed remarkably. Jack had become a different player. He passed the ball more often, communicating effectively with his teammates. He encouraged them during games, pointing out open spaces and giving advice. The team started to play as a cohesive unit. Their passes were crisp, and their cooperation was seamless. As a result, they won game after game. Jack finally understood that true victory came not from individual glory but from the strength of the team working together. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述杰克热爱篮球，自认为队友不够好，比赛时总独自带球，不传球给队友。在一场校际联赛决赛中，因对方针对他的打法进行防守，他又不传球，导致球队大比分失利。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“杰克独自坐在更衣室里，尽管付出了努力，却仍难以面对这场失败。”可知，第一段可描写杰克在更衣室的反思。他羞愧地意识到自己的自负和不传球导致球队失败，这时教练进来开导他，让他明白篮球是团队运动，杰克决心改变。此段突出杰克对失败的反思和改变的决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“新赛季开始时，这支队伍发生了显著的变化。”可知，第二段可描写新赛季球队的变化。杰克改变打法，常传球并与队友有效沟通，球队变得团结，配合默契，不断获胜，杰克领悟到团队合作带来真正胜利的道理。此段强调杰克改变后团队的积极变化和他的感悟。 2.续写线索：杰克在更衣室反思失败—— 教练开导—— 杰克决心改变—— 新赛季杰克改变打法——球队团结获胜 ——杰克领悟团队合作意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①反思：replay...in one's mind /reflect on ②鼓励：encourage /motivate ③领悟：understand /comprehend 情绪类： ①羞愧：shame /disgrace ②有决心的：determined /resolute 【点睛】【高分句型 1】He hung his head in shame, replaying the game in his mind.（运用了现在分词作伴随状语 ） 【高分句型 2】Jack finally understood that true victory came not from individual glory but from the strength of the team working together.（运用了 that 引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
