Here are four remarkable celebrations that showcase the heart of different civilizations. Japanese Cherry Blossom Festival (Hanami) One of Japan’s most iconic events, the Cherry Blossom Festival (Hanami) takes place from late March to early April, depending on the cherry blossoms’ bloom. Families and friends gather in parks to picnic under pink and white blossoms, enjoying snacks like bento boxes and mochi. Many cities host nighttime light-up events, where trees are illuminated after dusk, creating a magical atmosphere. The festival symbolizes the transient beauty of life, as cherry blossoms bloom briefly before falling. Melbourne Cup Carnival, Australia Known as “the race that stops a nation,” this event is Australia's most prestigious horse racing carnival, held on the first Tuesday of November in Melbourne. Thousands dress in elegant attire and elaborate hats, combining sport, fashion, and socializing with parades, and live music. It reflects Australia’s love for horse-racing culture and collective joy. Holi, India The “Festival of Colors” celebrates spring and the triumph of good over evil in late February or early March. People take to the streets to throw vibrant powders, dance to traditional music, and enjoy sweets like gujiya. A bonfire the night before symbolizes burning hatred, inviting forgiveness and new beginnings. Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), Mexico Contrary to its name, this joyful festival honors life and memory on November 1st and 2nd. Families build altars with marigolds, ancestor photos, and favorite foods, then visit cemeteries to leave offerings. Colorful sugar skulls and papel picado decorate the lively scene, reminding everyone that death is part of life’s cycle. 1. The Melbourne Cup Carnival and Holi both involve ______. A. public gatherings. B. historical figures. C. traditional foods. D. month-long celebrations.. 2. Which festival shows people’s reflection and respect towards life and death? A. Cherry Blossom Festival. B. Melbourne Cup Carnival. C. Holi. D. Day of the Dead. 3. What is the text mainly about? A. Origins of global festivals. B. Cultural significance in festivals. C. Various cultural festivals. D. Travel destinations for festivals. B In a quiet corner of Montreal, Canada, 72-year-old Elaine McBride has spent the past decade breathing new life into abandoned books. Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a haven for literature that others regarded beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice. McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free adhesives, and a vintage press passed down from her grandfather. Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it traced the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, ‘Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,’” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history. McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are tangible memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories outlive their shelves.” 4. What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books? A. A desire to teach others craft skills. B. The sight of books being thrown away. C. Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. D. A childhood love for classic literature. 5. Why does the author mention the fire damaged The Little Prince? A. To illustrate McBride’s technical skills. B. To stress the emotional impact of her work. C. To compare different restoration challenges. D. To show the popularity of children’s books. 6. What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4? A. Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular. B. Damaged books can hardly carry any stories. C. McBride promises to keep worn books restored. D. Physical books can go beyond the physical form. 7. Which words best describe Elaine McBride? A. Brave and responsible. B. Selfish and greedy. C. Patient and generous. D. Ambitious and decisive. C Gifts shaping children’s skills carry societal weight. New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. In 985, Norse settlers from Iceland established communities on Greenland’s fertile coastline, thriving for centuries until the world entered a cold period called the Little Ice Age (1300 — 1400). While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. The toys were divided into five categories: weapons (such as harpoons and swords), tools (like cooking pots and lamps), transport (boats and sledges), social play (dolls and figurines), and skill play (tops and balls). The results were striking: not only did Inuit children have far more toys, but the variety of their toys was also much greater. For example, while Norse children had only toy arrows, axes, and swords, Inuit children had a wide range of hunting-related toys, including bows, crossbows, and harpoons. As time went on, the gap between the two cultures in terms of toy diversity became even more obvious. From 1000 to 1200, there were 8 social-play toys in Norse settlements compared to 23 in Inuit settlements. By 1200 — 1400, this gap expanded to 11 versus 158. The Inuit continuously increased the number of toys related to sea hunting, such as seal figurines, while the Norse still focused on land-based toys like horse figurines. The researchers argue that Norse reliance on traditional toys hindered children’s ability to innovate in a changing environment. In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. 8. What is the central mystery addressed in the passage? A. Why the Norse residents preferred farming to fishing. B. How the Inuit people maintained toy diversity over time. C. Why the Norse settlements collapsed despite seafood diets. D. How climate change affected Greenland’s early inhabitants. 9. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By defining a new concept. B. By examining previous essays. C. By comparing climate changes. D. By investigating ancient toys. 10. What does the underlined word “hinder” probably mean? A Promote. B. Prevent. C. Ignore. D. Determine. 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Besides Toys: Society’s Cultural Clues. B. Beyond Culture: the Settlement Factors. C. Rather than Climate: Toy Roles in Collapse. D. More than Play: the Skill-shaping Tools. D By the end of 2025, space exploration will witness significant milestones, blending government ambition and private innovation. America’s Artemis programme, delayed by technical issues with the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield and life-support systems, aims to send four astronauts on a ten-day lunar fly-by mission in late 2025. They will orbit the Moon in a figure-of-eight path before returning to Earth, though potential delays remain. India’s Gagnayaan human-spaceflight programme may make its mark in 2025, as the country hopes to join the list of nations that have sent astronauts into space using domestically developed rockets. Despite earlier hold-ups, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to launch astronauts on a mission to spend several days in low-Earth orbit. Unmanned missions will also take centre stage. In May 2025, China’s Tianwen-2 probe will depart for the near-Earth asteroid 469219 Kamo’ oalewa, while the joint European-Japanese BepiColombo probe is set to reach Mercury in December. The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing the first flight of Space Rider, a reusable robotic spaceplane designed to be launched by rocket and go back to Earth for reuse. Unlike the Space Shuttle, it serves as a robotic space laboratory, focusing on automated scientific missions. Private companies will play a crucial role in 2025’s space activities. SpaceX, already a dominant force, will continue testing its massive Starship rocket and expanding its Starlink satellite constellation (卫星群). The company plans to launch the “direct-to-cell” service, enabling ordinary smartphones to connect directly with Starlink satellites and provide mobile coverage in underserved areas. Tech giant Amazon will advance its Kuiper satellite constellation, while Rocket Lab aims to launch its reusable Neutron rocket, building on the success of its smaller Electron rocket. Several privately funded lunar missions, including robotic landers and rovers, are scheduled to launch on a single SpaceX rocket in January. Notable is the Venus Life Finder (VLF), a $10m joint project by MIT, Rocket Lab, and philanthropists, set to search for life in Venus’ clouds with a simple robotic instrument — highlighting how private efforts now match government budgets in cosmic ambition. 12. What caused the delay in America’s Artemis programme? A. Technical flaws in the spacecraft. B. Budget cuts for lunar missions. C. Astronaut training complications. D. Launch site scheduling conflicts. 13. What makes the ESA’s Space Rider different from the Space Shuttle? A. It is intended for crewed missions. B. It prioritizes reusable technology. C. It functions as a robotic space lab. D. It requires no rocket launch. 14. What is the goal of SpaceX’s Starlink “direct-to-cell” service? A. To provide high-speed internet in remote areas. B. To enable communication in uncovered regions. C. To station additional satellites in low-Earth orbit. D. To compete with Amazon’s Kuiper constellation. 15. Why is the Venus Life Finder (VLF) mission significant? A. It uses advanced telescopes to study Venus. B. It represents the first private Mars exploration. C. It owns a larger budget than government missions. D. It demonstrates private capability in space research. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 In today’s fast-paced world, many people push themselves beyond their personal limits. ____16____ Recognizing and respecting your limits is not a sign of weakness—it’s a form of self-awareness that helps you live a healthier and more productive life.

But when it came to performing in front of other people, I always became nervous and got discouraged frequently with my inability to play as well as I could when practicing alone. The fear of making mistakes made my hand tremble, overshadowing the joy I found in music. I worried that a single wrong note would break the connection I hoped to create with my listeners. Determined to overcome this fear, I joined my high school orchestra (管弦乐队) as a freshmen. At our first class, the conductor announced that we would have the opportunity to perform in San Antonio, and everyone was excited about the trip. A few weeks before the actual trip, one of my friends sent me a video of Joshua Bell, a well-known violinist, performing at a subway station. I was particularly fascinated by one piece that he played for the passersby. And he earned $32.17 for that piece. I was deeply moved by the emotional richness and complexity of the piece, and I felt a strong desire to express its beauty. I imagined myself performing it confidently, just like Bell. I started practicing it like crazy. However, the difficulty of the piece and the constant repetitions and adjustments wore me out to the point where I almost considered just giving up. But it was a worthy challenge and I thought I could master it, with my unique style. Several weeks later, our orchestra group were staying at a hotel in San Antonio. As we were hanging out, we found a beautiful courtyard just in front of the hotel. The friend who sent me the video and I were talking about how Joshua Bell’s performance at the subway station went viral on the social media. 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。 Suddenly, he suggested that I play for the hotel customers in the courtyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried not to mind the mistakes halfway through the performance as before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ 重庆一中高22027届高一下期期末考试 英语试题卷 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写在答题卡上。 2.作答时，务必将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷及草稿纸上无效。 3.考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分20分) 第一节(共5小题；每小题1分，满分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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.

Her small basement workshop, lined with shelves of torn classics and water-stained novels, is a haven for literature that others regarded beyond repair. “Every book has a story worth preserving,” she says, her fingers brushing the worn cover of a 1940s edition of Pride and Prejudice. McBride’s mission began accidentally. After retiring from her job as a librarian, she came across a pile of damaged books destined for landfill. Horrified by the waste, she taught herself bookbinding and restoration techniques through online tutorials and old craft manuals. “I started with glue and patience,” she laughs. Now, her tools include specialized paperweights, acid-free adhesives, and a vintage press passed down from her grandfather. Over the years, McBride has restored over 2,000 books, donating most to community centers, schools, and prisons. One of her most memorable projects was reviving a fire-damaged copy of The Little Prince for a local children’s hospital. “The child who received it traced the charred (烧焦的) pages and said, ‘Now it’s like me — burned but still loved,’” she recalls. Her work has also inspired a group of teenagers from a nearby high school to join her, learning the art of restoration while listening to her stories of literary history. McBride’s efforts highlight a quiet revolution in a digital age: the belief that physical books hold irreplaceable value. “In a world of screens, these pages are tangible memories,” she says. Though her hands now ache after long hours, she shows no sign of slowing down. “Each book I save is a promise that stories outlive their shelves.” 4. What inspired Elaine McBride to start restoring books? A. A desire to teach others craft skills. B. The sight of books being thrown away. C. Her grandpa’s old bookbinding tools. D. A childhood love for classic literature. 5. Why does the author mention the fire damaged The Little Prince? A. To illustrate McBride’s technical skills. B. To stress the emotional impact of her work. C. To compare different restoration challenges. D. To show the popularity of children’s books. 6. What can be inferred from the words of McBride in paragraph 4? A. Stories need new bookshelves to stay popular. B. Damaged books can hardly carry any stories. C. McBride promises to keep worn books restored. D. Physical books can go beyond the physical form. 7. Which words best describe Elaine McBride? A. Brave and responsible. B. Selfish and greedy. C. Patient and generous. D. Ambitious and decisive. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. D 7.

New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. In 985, Norse settlers from Iceland established communities on Greenland’s fertile coastline, thriving for centuries until the world entered a cold period called the Little Ice Age (1300 — 1400). While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. The toys were divided into five categories: weapons (such as harpoons and swords), tools (like cooking pots and lamps), transport (boats and sledges), social play (dolls and figurines), and skill play (tops and balls). The results were striking: not only did Inuit children have far more toys, but the variety of their toys was also much greater. For example, while Norse children had only toy arrows, axes, and swords, Inuit children had a wide range of hunting-related toys, including bows, crossbows, and harpoons. As time went on, the gap between the two cultures in terms of toy diversity became even more obvious. From 1000 to 1200, there were 8 social-play toys in Norse settlements compared to 23 in Inuit settlements. By 1200 — 1400, this gap expanded to 11 versus 158. The Inuit continuously increased the number of toys related to sea hunting, such as seal figurines, while the Norse still focused on land-based toys like horse figurines. The researchers argue that Norse reliance on traditional toys hindered children’s ability to innovate in a changing environment. In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. 8. What is the central mystery addressed in the passage? A. Why the Norse residents preferred farming to fishing. B How the Inuit people maintained toy diversity over time. C. Why the Norse settlements collapsed despite seafood diets. D. How climate change affected Greenland’s early inhabitants. 9. How did the researchers carry out their study? A. By defining a new concept. B. By examining previous essays. C. By comparing climate changes. D. By investigating ancient toys. 10. What does the underlined word “hinder” probably mean? A. Promote. B. Prevent. C. Ignore. D. Determine. 11. Which can be the best title of the passage? A. Besides Toys: Society’s Cultural Clues. B. Beyond Culture: the Settlement Factors. C. Rather than Climate: Toy Roles in Collapse. D. More than Play: the Skill-shaping Tools. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究揭示，在格陵兰岛挪威人因玩具单一限制了儿童适应能力而崩溃，而因纽特人通过多样化玩具培养生存技能，得以在恶劣环境中延续。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“While the Inuit people who arrived later survived, the Norse had to leave their settlements by 1400. Archaeologists long puzzled over why, as Norse diets increasingly included seafood — contradicting earlier theories about their refusal to adapt. (虽然后来到达的因纽特人幸存下来，但挪威人不得不在1400年前离开他们的定居点。考古学家长期以来一直困惑于为什么，因为挪威人的饮食中越来越多地包括海鲜——这与早期关于他们拒绝适应环境的理论相矛盾)”可知，研究探究的核心谜团是尽管古挪威人的饮食转向海鲜，他们的定居点为何仍然崩溃。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To find an answer, Meyer and Riede conducted a comparative analysis of the toys from both cultures. They examined 72 toys from Norse settlements and a remarkable 2,397 toys from Inuit settlements in similar environmental conditions. (为了找到答案，Meyer和Riede对两种文化的玩具进行了比较分析。他们检查了来自挪威定居点的72个玩具和来自因纽特人定居点的2397个玩具，它们的环境条件相似)”可知，研究者通过研究古代玩具展开探究。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词的下文“In contrast, the Inuit’s focus on diverse, context-relevant toys equipped children with adaptive skills, ensuring long-term survival. (相比之下，因纽特人对多样化、与环境相关的玩具的关注使儿童具备了适应技能，确保了长期生存)”可知，挪威人的情况与因纽特人不同，他们依赖传统玩具，这会阻碍儿童的创新能力，画线词意为“阻碍”。A. Promote促进，推动；B. Prevent阻碍，防止；C. Ignore忽略；D. Determine决定。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Gifts shaping children’s skills carry societal weight. New research led by Mathilde Meyer and Felix Riede suggests that inadequate or outdated toys contributed to the collapse of Norse settlements in Greenland. (塑造孩子技能的礼物具有社会影响力。Mathilde Meyer和Felix Riede领导的一项新研究表明，不充足或过时的玩具导致了格陵兰岛挪威人定居点的崩溃)”和最后一段中“This study serves as a warning: in the game of survival, the toys children play with may shape the fate of a society. (这项研究是一个警告：在生存的游戏中，孩子们玩的玩具可能会塑造一个社会的命运)”可知，文章介绍了一项研究，该研究聚焦格陵兰岛的挪威人和因纽特人的玩具差异，发现了挪威人因玩具单一限制了儿童适应能力而崩溃，而因纽特人通过多样化玩具培养生存技能，得以在恶劣环境中延续。因此，C项“非关气候：玩具在社会崩溃中的作用”呼应文中对传统气候解释的否定，点明玩具多样性与社会存亡的因果关系，最适合作为文章标题。故选C项。 D By the end of 2025, space exploration will witness significant milestones, blending government ambition and private innovation. America’s Artemis programme, delayed by technical issues with the Orion spacecraft’s heat shield and life-support systems, aims to send four astronauts on a ten-day lunar fly-by mission in late 2025. They will orbit the Moon in a figure-of-eight path before returning to Earth, though potential delays remain. India’s Gagnayaan human-spaceflight programme may make its mark in 2025, as the country hopes to join the list of nations that have sent astronauts into space using domestically developed rockets. Despite earlier hold-ups, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) plans to launch astronauts on a mission to spend several days in low-Earth orbit. Unmanned missions will also take centre stage. In May 2025, China’s Tianwen-2 probe will depart for the near-Earth asteroid 469219 Kamo’ oalewa, while the joint European-Japanese BepiColombo probe is set to reach Mercury in December. The European Space Agency (ESA) is preparing the first flight of Space Rider, a reusable robotic spaceplane designed to be launched by rocket and go back to Earth for reuse. Unlike the Space Shuttle, it serves as a robotic space laboratory, focusing on automated scientific missions. Private companies will play a crucial role in 2025’s space activities. SpaceX, already a dominant force, will continue testing its massive Starship rocket and expanding its Starlink satellite constellation (卫星群). The company plans to launch the “direct-to-cell” service, enabling ordinary smartphones to connect directly with Starlink satellites and provide mobile coverage in underserved areas. Tech giant Amazon will advance its Kuiper satellite constellation, while Rocket Lab aims to launch its reusable Neutron rocket, building on the success of its smaller Electron rocket. Several privately funded lunar missions, including robotic landers and rovers, are scheduled to launch on a single SpaceX rocket in January. Notable is the Venus Life Finder (VLF), a $10m joint project by MIT, Rocket Lab, and philanthropists, set to search for life in Venus’ clouds with a simple robotic instrument — highlighting how private efforts now match government budgets in cosmic ambition. 12. What caused the delay in America’s Artemis programme? A. Technical flaws in the spacecraft. B. Budget cuts for lunar missions. C. Astronaut training complications. D. Launch site scheduling conflicts. 13. What makes the ESA’s Space Rider different from the Space Shuttle? A. It is intended for crewed missions. B. It prioritizes reusable technology. C. It functions as a robotic space lab. D. It requires no rocket launch. 14. What is the goal of SpaceX’s Starlink “direct-to-cell” service? A. To provide high-speed internet in remote areas. B. To enable communication in uncovered regions. C. To station additional satellites in low-Earth orbit. D. To compete with Amazon’s Kuiper constellation. 15. Why is the Venus Life Finder (VLF) mission significant? A. It uses advanced telescopes to study Venus. B. It represents the first private Mars exploration. C. It owns a larger budget than government missions. D. It demonstrates private capability in space research. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15.

But when it came to performing in front of other people, I always became nervous and got discouraged frequently with my inability to play as well as I could when practicing alone. The fear of making mistakes made my hand tremble, overshadowing the joy I found in music. I worried that a single wrong note would break the connection I hoped to create with my listeners. Determined to overcome this fear, I joined my high school orchestra (管弦乐队) as a freshmen. At our first class, the conductor announced that we would have the opportunity to perform in San Antonio, and everyone was excited about the trip. A few weeks before the actual trip, one of my friends sent me a video of Joshua Bell, a well-known violinist, performing at a subway station. I was particularly fascinated by one piece that he played for the passersby. And he earned $32.17 for that piece. I was deeply moved by the emotional richness and complexity of the piece, and I felt a strong desire to express its beauty. I imagined myself performing it confidently, just like Bell. I started practicing it like crazy. However, the difficulty of the piece and the constant repetitions and adjustments wore me out to the point where I almost considered just giving up. But it was a worthy challenge and I thought I could master it, with my unique style. Several weeks later, our orchestra group were staying at a hotel in San Antonio. As we were hanging out, we found a beautiful courtyard just in front of the hotel. The friend who sent me the video and I were talking about how Joshua Bell’s performance at the subway station went viral on the social media. 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。 Suddenly, he suggested that I play for the hotel customers in the courtyard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I tried not to mind the mistakes halfway through the performance as before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Suddenly, he suggested that I play for the hotel customers in the courtyard. At first, I was hesitant. The fear of making mistakes and embarrassing myself in front of others welled up inside me. But then I thought of Joshua Bell’s performance in the subway station. He played with such passion and dedication regardless of the setting. I took a deep breath, nodded, and got my violin ready. I walked to the center of the courtyard, and as I started to play, all eyes turned towards me. I tried not to mind the mistakes halfway through the performance as before. Instead, I focused on the music itself, on expressing the beauty and emotion that I had felt when I first listened to the piece. I remembered the countless hours of practice, the determination to master this challenge. Gradually, I lost myself in the music. When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then warm applause filled the courtyard. I looked around, seeing smiles on the faces of the hotel customers. A sense of accomplishment washed over me. I had finally overcome my fear and connected with the audience through the music. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了 作者曾经热爱小提琴，但在人前表演时总会因害怕犯错而紧张，影响发挥。为了克服恐惧，作者高一加入了学校管弦乐队，并之后将有机会在圣安东尼奥演出。一次，朋友给作者发了著名小提琴家约书亚·贝尔在地铁站表演的视频，作者被他演奏的曲目打动，决定练习并以独特风格演绎。几周后，作者所在的管弦乐队在圣安东尼奥的酒店停留，作者和朋友聊起约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演，这时朋友提议作者在酒店庭院为顾客演奏。 【详解】 1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“突然，他建议我在院子里为酒店顾客表演。”可知，第一段可描写作者刚开始很犹豫，因为一直以来在人前表演会紧张的心理还在，但是想到约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演后，作者决定尝试。于是作者开始演奏。 ②由第二段首句内容“我试图不像以前那样介意表演中的错误。”可知，第二段可描写作者专注于表演，并回忆起自己练习的时光，这给作者增强了信心。演奏结束后，响起了热烈的掌声，作者终于克服了自己的恐惧。 2.续写线索：犹豫——想到约书亚·贝尔在地铁站的表演——决定尝试——专注于演奏——观众热烈鼓掌——克服了恐惧 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①集中于：focus on/concentrate on ②表达：express/convey ③记得：remember/memorize 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/fright ②激情：passion/enthusiasm 【点睛】[高分句型1] I walked to the center of the courtyard, and as I started to play, all eyes turned towards me.(运用了as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2] Instead, I focused on the music itself, on expressing the beauty and emotion that I had felt when I first listened to the piece.(运用了关系代词that引导的限制性定语从句和when引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型3] When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then warm applause filled the courtyard.(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 $$
