The crowd gasped, and the sisters’ hearts sank. The once magnificent strawberry now lay in a sticky mess on the table. But Sara, ever the optimist, quickly recovered. “Look at the seeds!” she exclaimed, pointing to the numerous tiny seeds scattered all over. “This isn’t a loss, it’s a new beginning!” She proposed that they distribute the seeds to anyone interested, so everyone could grow their own giant strawberries. Suddenly, Sara saw the nearby cake stand. An idea sparked in her eyes. She approached the baker, explaining the situation and her plan. The baker, interested and impressed by her spirit, agreed to help. Together, they used the fresh strawberry pieces to create strawberry cakes, right there at the fair. The crowd, now delighted, lined up for a taste of the unplanned dessert. The sisters’ stall, initially known for the giant strawberry, was now the talk of the town for its delicious and inventive strawberry cake. The day ended with full bellies and happy hearts, proving that even when things don’t go as planned, a bit of creativity can turn a potential disaster into a sweet victory. 这篇故事主要讲述了Sara姐妹种植的草莓在即将获得种植比赛奖励时发生意外以及她们对待意外的态度和做法。第一段故事内容要求学生写出草莓出现问题爆裂后姐妹的由伤心态度和Sara积极的想法；第二段要求学生写出Sara看到蛋糕摊后，联想到妈妈曾经说过的话将草莓制成草莓蛋糕让大家分享，在理解把坏事变好事中结束故事，升华主题。 评分标准： 1. 本题总分为25分，按五个档次进行评分。 2. 评分时，主要从内容、语言表达和篇章结构三个方面考查，具体为： （1）续写内容的质量、续写的完整性以及与原文情境的融洽度。 （2）所使用词汇和语法结构的准确性、恰当性和多样性。 （3）上下文的衔接和全文的连贯性。 3. 评分时，应先根据作答的整体情况确定其所属的档次，然后以该档次的要求来综合衡量，确定或调整档次，最后给分。 4. 评分时还应注意: （1）词数少于120的，酌情扣分； （2）单词拼写和标点符号是写作规范的重要方面，评分时应视其对交际的影响程度予以考虑，英、美拼写及词汇用法均可接受； （3）书写较差以致影响交际的，酌情扣分。 各档次给分范围和要求： 第五档（21-25分）完全达到了预期的写作目的。 ● 与所给短文融合度高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接合理； ● 内容丰富，故事发展合理、逻辑性强，续写完整，符合写作目的与情境； ● 所使用语法结构和词汇多样、准确和恰当，可能有个别错误，但完全不影响意义表达； ● 有效地使用了语句间的连接手段，结构清晰，意义连贯。 第四档（16-20分）达到了预期的写作目的。 ● 与所给短文融合度较高，与所提供各段落开头语衔接较为合理； ● 内容比较丰富，故事发展比较合理、有逻辑性，续写比较完整，比较符合写作目的与情境； ● 所使用语法结构和词汇较为丰富、准确，可能有些许错误，但完全不影响意义表达； ● 比较有效地使用了语句间的连接手段，结构比较清晰，意义比较连贯。 第三档（11-15分）整体而言，基本达到了预期的写作目的。 ● 与所给短文关系较为密切，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接； ● 写出了若干有关内容，故事发展有合理之处、有一定的逻辑性，续写基本完整，基本符合写作目的与情境； ● 应用的语法结构和词汇能满足任务的要求，虽有一些错误，但不影响意义的表达； ● 应用简单的语句间的连接手段，结构基本清晰，意义基本连贯。 第二档（6-10分）未能达到预期的写作目的。 ● 与所给短文有一定的关系，与所提供各段落开头语有一定程度的衔接； ● 写出了一些有关内容，故事发展不太合理、逻辑性差，不太符合写作目的与情境； ● 语法结构单调、词汇项目有限，错误较多，影响了意义的表达； ● 较少使用语句间的连接手段，全文结构不够清晰，意义不够连贯。 第一档（1-5分）完全未达到预期的写作目的。 ● 与所给短文和开头语的衔接较差； ● 产出无关内容太多，故事发展不合理、不合逻辑，续写不完整，不符合写作目的与情境； ● 语法结构单调、词汇项目很有限，错误很多，严重影响了意义的表达； ● 缺乏语句间的连接手段，全文结构不清晰，意义不连贯。 0分 ● 未能传达给读者任何信息：内容太少，无法评判；所写内容均与所要求内容无关或所写内容无法看清。 答案解析 第一部分：听力 略 第二部分：阅读 第一节 A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文，主要介绍了英国四个适合家庭参加的夏季音乐节，内容包括活动内容、时间和官网等信息。 21. B 细节理解题。根据 Deer Shed 部分中 “For the smallest party-goers, there’s the blackout tent hosting a kid ‘nightclub’.” 可知，该音乐节专门为幼儿设置了夜间活动区域，适合有 3 岁孩子的家庭。其它音乐节虽然也有相关活动，但是不适合三岁的幼儿，故排除。Deer Shed的官网网址为deershedfestival.com，故选 B。 22. C 细节理解题。根据四个音乐节的介绍可知，Green Man 有科学工作坊和艺术课程，Deer Shed 有昆虫知识歌曲教学，Rock Oyster 有烹饪学校，Camp Bestival 有机器人工作坊和音乐创作课程。因此，这四个音乐节的共同特点是都融入了教育元素，故选 C。 23. A推理判断题。文章介绍的四个音乐节都安排了适合家庭和儿童的活动，内容偏向亲子和育儿场景，因此文章最可能来自育儿博客，故选 A。 B 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了 Francis Asiku 因目睹社区儿童营养不良，并受到小鸟啄食芒果的启发，与兄弟一起创办 “The Mango Project”，通过相对简易的低成本罐装方式保存芒果以缓解饥饿的故事。 24. C 细节理解题。根据第四段中 “When he spotted birds eating mangoes heartily on his way home, a question struck him: Why were so many people in his community famished when it experienced two plentiful mango seasons a year?” 可知，Asiku 看到小鸟啄食树上的芒果，想到可以利用芒果解决所在社区的饥荒问题，这一观察直接启发他创办The Mango Project，故选 C。 25. D 词义猜测题。根据第一段中 “Mr. Asiku was surprised to learn that what many newborns and expectant mothers seeking care needed wasn’t necessarily medicine. It was nutritious food.” 和第二段中 “Mr. Asiku quickly found poor feeding as the root of the child’s problem.” 可知，Asiku所在社区的人们面临食物短缺的问题，可推知 “famished” 意为 “饥饿的”，故选 D。 26. B 推理判断题。根据第六段中 “While canning is practiced throughout the world, many Midigo villagers can’t bear the cost of sugar, not to mention glass jars with secure lids.” 可知，当地村民经济上无法负担传统的制作罐头的方法。由此可推知，新的制作方法相对简单，成本更低，适合大多数村民，故选 B。 27. A 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知，Asiku 知道芒果不能完全解决饥饿问题，但是又肯定了这个项目是重要的一步，所以他对这个项目的态度是 “谨慎乐观”，故选 A。 C 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文，探讨了血清素与情绪的关系，指出市场上宣称提升血清素的产品缺乏足够的科学依据，并建议通过传统方式改善心情。 28. D 细节理解题。根据第二段中 “Researchers have long thought that serotonin has a role in regulating mood because “drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are widely used for and show promising results in treating depression” 可知，SSRIs 类药物对抑郁症有效，因此研究者认为血清素有助于调节情绪，故选 D。 29. D 推理判断题。文章第二段提到研究者们对与血清素如何调节任何具体功能一无所知，随后在第三段将血清素与多巴胺对比，指出科学家对多巴胺的作用更有把握，由此可推知，提及多巴胺的目的是为了凸显对血清素的研究不足，故选 D。 30. C 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容可知，证明血清素产品（如含 5-HT 和色氨酸的分子的保健品）效果的证据有限，以药片形式摄入色氨酸并不能显著提升血清素含量，而且色氨酸每次只能少量穿越血脑屏障，这些都表明作者认为血清素产品并不可靠，故选 C。 31. A 标题归纳题。文章开头指出有很多产品声称可以提升血清素，随后又指出研究者们对于血清素的作用机制了解有限，因此这些产品的有效性也值得怀疑。整篇文章围绕能否通过这些产品提升血清素展开讨论，故选 A。 D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了人们在搜索信息时倾向于使用特定关键词以强化固有偏见的现象，通过实验证明这种倾向的普遍性。 32. C 推理判断题。文章第一段提到，人们倾向于搜索能够证实他们偏见的信息，而搜索引擎本应该优先展示高质量、可信来源的结果以避免偏见。同时第二段中指出这一想法在技术层面无法实现，研究表明在使用者方面也无法达成。由此可推知 “the concept” 指代的正是第一段提及的“用高质量搜索结果来规避偏见”的设想，故选 C。 33. B 推理判断题。根据第三段中列举的问题示例可知，要获取无偏见的结果，应使用中性的提问方式。C 选项 “How does green tea impact health?” 询问的是绿茶对健康的影响，涵盖正反两面，而其他选项均带有倾向性，故选B。 34. B 细节理解题。根据第四段 “they were more likely to hang onto their original opinion” 可知，使用狭隘的搜索词会导致人们更固执己见，不会变通。故选 B。 35. A 段落大意题。根据文章最后一段内容可知，Leung和Urminsky测试了涵盖生活不同方面的多个问题，发现表明人们在搜索信息时，倾向于使用那些会加强他们现有观念的搜索词，而且这种倾向性始终存在，由此可知这一现象存在普遍性，故选A。 第二节 七选五 【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文，探讨了 “休闲” 的本质，反驳了 “休闲无需训练” 的观点，强调真正的休闲需通过沉思、艺术体验等实现个人成长，并引用研究支持其对幸福感的持久影响。 36. F 本段的主要作用是引出人们认为“休闲无需训练”的观点。空前一句提到社会假设 “在职业方面达到卓越水平需要训练，而其他（跟工作无关的）生活领域无需训练”，空后一句指出 “非工作活动非常简单，并且与生俱来。由此可知，此空在两句话间起顺承、衔接作用。F 选项 “毕竟没有专门教授休闲的课程”契合人们“休闲不需要专门训练”的想法，符合段落逻辑，故选 F。 37. B 空前一句说我们的高等教育是按照第一段提到的“休闲不需要训练”的假设（assumption）运作的。而空后一句说休闲并不简单。由此可知，作者并不认同前文提及的普遍想法，B 选项“这在我看来很有问题。”符合文章逻辑，其中it指代前一句中的“assumption”，故选 B。 38. E空后内容提到“德国哲学家Josef Pieper认为，当我们正确理解和实践休闲时，我们可以实现最好的自己”。这与第二段最后提一句中作者会“利用非工作活动让自己成为一个更明智、更快乐、更高效、更优秀的人”的想法一致。由此可知，作者的想法并不新颖。空所在的句子是两个段落之间的过渡句，故选E。 39. C 本段主要解释了休闲的真正含义。空前一句列举了“哲学反思、艺术体验学习新思想或技能、亲近自然或是深化人际关系” 等休闲活动，C 选项 “你做这些是为了个人成长” 总结了这些活动的真正目的，且跟前文的“休闲是为了实现最好更好的自己”的思想一致，逻辑连贯，故选 C。 40. G空前一句指出 “科学家发现无所事事的休闲方式只会带来短暂的幸福”，说明空后句子提及的做法与前面的做法相反，G 选项 “多参加社会活动和自我反思” 符合语境，与后面一句形成因果关系，故选 G。 第三部分：语言应用 第一节：本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章，讲述了作者热爱采集大自然的声音，从捕捉自然物种的声音到对大自然全景式音响的沉浸，并从中获得愉悦与治愈的故事。 41. B 这里介绍作者的工作目标，他一开始从事这项工作时只是为了近距离地、清晰地捕获一些动物的声音，“primary”表示“主要的，基本的”，符合文意。 42. C 根据后文“l when it comes to training people to recognize wildlife by their sounds”（当涉及到训练人们通过声音来识别野生动物时），这些录音非常有用。这里需要表示程度“极好”的意思，incredibly“非常地”。 43. D 根据后文，作者不仅出版，还为博物馆提供录音，可以推测作者是非常擅长这份工作的。excel at sth“在...做得很杰出”。 44. C 根据后文，作者为电影提供录音材料，可推测这里不是“films”。guide表示“指南，手册”符合文意。 45. B “exhibit”表示“展览”的意思，和museum and nature center搭配在一起合适。 46. B find its own way to...为固定搭配，意思是“设法到达”。 47. D 这句话的主语是“Pursuing wildlife and getting closeup recordings”，宾语是“numerous trips ”，这里用动词“involve”表示“包含、涉及到”。 48. A 根据上句“Pursuing wildlife”和本句中的“catch”一词可以推测这是一个“搜寻的过程”，所以“hunt”符合文意。 49. A 根据后文“ instead began to focus on ”可以推测，作者已经对提取的方式感到“无聊”，所以选择“bored”。 50. D 根据后一句“ the full chorus of sound ”可以推测出，这里是指“整体音效”，所以选as a whole。 51. B 根据上文“began to focus on the natural soundscape”可知作者转变了自己的关注点，开始逐渐对大自然全景式音响产生兴趣，所以选develop。 52. C 从上文“inspring”和后文“which are suitable for relaxation and personal enjoyment.”可知，这里强调声音的积极作用，所以选“positive”（积极的）。 53. C “exposure”表示“暴露，接触”，这里理解成“与大自然声音的深层次接触”。 54. D 根据后文“of their healing qualities”，这里强调的是对“大自然声音治愈品质的理解和欣赏”，选择“appreciation”符合文意。 55. A compare sth/sb to sth 把...比作...，符合文意。 第二节： 56. was recommended “推荐”是过去某个时间发生的动作，故使用过去时的被动结构。 57. fondness fond的名词形式。 58. experimenting 使用非谓语ing形式做状语，和逻辑主语之间是主动关系。 59. for 介词for 表原因用法。 60. to be enhanced enable后面结构需要动词不定式形式，和逻辑主语之间是被动关系。 61. an 不定冠词an用法。 62. locals 名词local需要使用复数形式。 63. and 前面noted和expressed是并列谓语，用and连接。 64. exceptional 形容词修饰后面的academic performance。 65. advanced 过去分词作形容词用法。 第四部分 写作 略 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$普通高中 2024-2025 学年高二质量监测考试 英　 语 本试卷满分 150 分。 考试用时 120 分钟。 注意事项: 1. 答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。 如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。 回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡 上。 写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分　 听力(共两节, 满分 30 分) 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。 录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的 答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共 5 小题; 每小题 1. 5 分,满分 7. 5 分) 听下面 5 段对话。 每段对话后有一个小题, 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.

B Francis Asiku had just landed his first nursing job in Midigo. He was excited and joyful. But in his first month at work, Mr. Asiku was surprised to learn that what many newborns and expectant mothers seeking care needed wasn’t necessarily medicine. It was nutritious food. He recalls one hot afternoon, when a young mother rushed into the health center with a 4- year-old child. Mr. Asiku quickly found poor feeding as the root of the child’s problem. When he spotted birds eating mangoes heartily on his way home, a question struck him: Why were so many people in his community famished when it experienced two plentiful mango seasons a year? He raised the issue with his younger brother, Emmanuel Mao. Soon afterward, the brothers met with village elders under the huge mango tree where community meetings were held. That was the start of their nonprofit, The Mango Project, which delivers glass jars full of mangoes to schools, to health centers, and directly to hungry individuals. Most mangoes in Midigo spoil (腐烂) because rural villagers lack refrigerators. So the brothers needed to figure out a way to preserve mangoes throughout dry periods. They began “jarrying” — cutting fruit into thin slices and putting them in a glass container of boiling-hot water and sugar. While canning is practiced throughout the world, many Midigo villagers can’ t bear the cost of sugar, not to mention glass jars with secure cover. The relatively easy preservation method delighted village elders. The brothers initially collected mangoes that were scattered throughout the village, but have since expanded their initiative to preserve the fruit from their family’s ancestral land. Mr. Asiku understands that mangoes alone won’ t solve the community’ s health issues, as people need a variety of foods. But he believes this project is a significant step toward improving food security in Midigo. 24. What inspired Asiku to start The Mango Project? A. The shortage of medical care. B. The request from village elders. C. His observation of feasting birds. D. His encounter with a dying child. 高二英语试卷　 第 5 页(共 12 页) 25.

Why did the village elders approve of the “jarrying” method? A. It required few special tools. B. It was affordable for most villagers. C. It preserved the sweetness of mangoes. D. It made the most of the wasted mangoes. 27. What is Asiku’s attitude towards the influence of the project? A. Cautiously positive. B. Mildly uncertain. C. Slightly pessimistic. D. Blindly optimistic. C Serotonin, known as a “ happy hormone (激素)”, is widely thought to play a role in mood, sleep, learning, and more. So it’ s no wonder that there’ s an abundance of health products on the market that claim to boost serotonin. Researchers have long thought that serotonin has a role in regulating (调节) mood because drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRIs) are widely used for and show promising results in treating depression. But if you ask a serotonin researcher specifically how serotonin regulates any specific function, the answer will likely be “I don’t know. ” Serotonin is often compared to dopamine, another “happy hormone” that likely has many different roles in the body. But scientists are much more confident about what dopamine does in the central nervous system. There’ s strong evidence that it’ s involved in brain circuits that predict how much of a reward you’ll receive. Despite all these, many serotonin products claim to lift your mood by boosting your serotonin levels. Some of them contain molecule (分子) 5-HT and tryptophan, two molecules that are transformed to serotonin in the body. But there’s only limited evidence that they work. Tryptophan, for one, is found in large quantities in people’s daily diets. Experts say that taking large amounts of it in pill form isn’ t likely to do much to serotonin levels in the brain. Some studies have linked low tryptophan levels to worsening mood, but that’ s only in people who already have depression. On top of that, to get to the brain, tryptophan needs to cross the blood -brain barrier, and can only do this a little bit at a time. There are also natural ways to stimulate serotonin release, like exercise, eating healthy, and getting plenty of sleep. If you’ re worried about your mood, ultimately, the best thing you can do is take the traditional route — If you’re feeling down, talk to a doctor. 28. Why is serotonin believed to help regulate mood? A. It is acknowledged as a happy hormone. B. It is a key element of mood regulating drugs. C. SSRIs are recommended by researchers. D. SSRIs are effective for depression treatment. 高二英语试卷　 第 6 页(共 12 页) 29. What is the purpose of mentioning dopamine in paragraph 3? A. To explore its similarity with serotonin. B.

D People are often quite selective about the information they’ ll accept, seeking out sources that will confirm their biases (偏见). In theory, search engines can potentially change that by prioritizing results from high-quality, credible sources. Obviously, that hasn’t worked out on the technology side, as people quickly learned how to game the algorithms (算法) used by search engines. But a new study is suggesting that the concept fails on the human side, too, as people tend to enter search terms that are specific enough to ensure that the results will end up strengthening their existing beliefs. Researchers Eugina Leung and Oleg Urminsky explored this by focusing on simple questions like, “Is caffeine (咖啡因) good or bad for you?” If you wanted to search for that, you could potentially ask “ what are the health effects of caffeine?” which should get you a mixture of the benefits and risks. But people could also use terms like, “ Is caffeine bad for you?” These searches are likely to pull up a more biased selection of results. With that in mind, they designed a series of experiments. First, they asked the participants their thoughts on an issue. The participants were then told to go search for more information, after which their opinions on the topic were checked again. The results showed that if a participant used narrow search terms, they were more likely to structure them in a way that should return information that confirms their biases. And, not surprisingly, they were more likely to hang onto their original opinion after having been given the chance to look over the results of that search. The topic really didn’ t matter that much. Leung and Urminsky tested questions covering different aspects of life. All of them displayed the same pattern. Again, it was never absolute — narrow searches tended to be 10 to 25 percent more common than general ones. There was simply a tendency to focus searches in a way that would likely strengthen existing beliefs. But that tendency was remarkably consistent. 高二英语试卷　 第 7 页(共 12 页) 32. What does “the concept”in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Tricking algorithms to get results. B. Using technology to broaden minds. C. Presenting quality results to avoid biases. D. Entering specific terms to confirm beliefs. 33. Which might be a proper search term to get unbaised results? A. Does red meat increase cancer risk? B. How does green tea impact health? C. Is drinking milk good for bone health? D. What are the benefits of a low-sugar diet? 34. What is the result of narrow search terms? A. Original insight. B. Fixed mindset. C. Complete confidence. D. Structured information. 35. What does the last paragraph emphasize about the phenomenon? A. Its universality. B. Its limitation. C. Its solution. D. Its tendency. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为 多余选项。 As a professor, my main task is to teach young adults skills that will prepare them to stand out in their careers. It is assumed that professional excellence requires formal training, while excellence in the rest of life, such as leisure, does not. 　 36　 People believe work demands training while leisure time is easy and enjoyable and comes naturally. Our higher- education system operates on this assumption. 　 37 　 Leisure is not at all straightforward or easy. True leisure isn’ t simple or automatic. I don’ t want to waste any time on meaningless activities. Both work and free time should help me grow — to become wiser, happier, and a better person. 　 38　 German philosopher Josef Pieper believed that when we understand and practice leisure properly, we can achieve our best selves. Pieper thought we misunderstood leisure when we defined it as work’s opposite. He described it as an attitude of opening your mind through deep thinking. Leisure, in other words, is far from the modern concept of just relaxing. It is a serious business, and if you don’t do leisure well, you will never find life’s full meaning. True leisure would involve philosophical reflection, deep artistic experiences, learning new ideas or skills, spending time in nature, or deepening personal relationships. 　 39　 Social scientists agree with Pieper’ s ideas. We may define leisure as doing nothing. But 高二英语试卷　 第 8 页(共 12 页) researchers found that this kind of act brings short-term happiness. 　 40　 So we need to take the time to focus on life’ s big questions without interruption and learn to appreciate what is beautiful. A. I used to think like this. B. But to me, it’s very questionable. C. You do these for personal growth. D. You fail to give leisure its due seriousness. E. My attitude is not, in fact, especially original. F. After all, there is no course specifically teaching leisure. G. It is social activities and self reflection that result in lasting joy. 第三部分 语言运用(共两节, 满分 30 分) 第一节 (共 15 小题;每小题 1 分,满分 15 分) 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳 选项。 I have been recording the voices of nature for long.

Sometimes Sara and her sisters would select the best ones to show at the State Fair. One day, Sara was surveying the strawberries. As Sara searched, she suddenly stopped short. Something surprising stood out in front of her. “ Suzy! Stacey!” she shouted for her sisters. “Come see!” Her sisters walked over from the stable where they had been feeding the horses. When they got closer, they were shocked. There, growing under a leafy vine, was a strawberry the size of a pumpkin. “Unbelievable!,” said Suzy. “I’ve never seen a strawberry that size. ” 高二英语试卷　 第 11 页(共 12 页) Her sister Stacey suggested they submit the strawberry as their selection to the State Fair. “Such a significant strawberry should stand out from the competition. ” Sara and Suzy agreed. The sisters settled on a scheme to support the fruit as much as possible before the fair. Every day, one would sit with the sizable strawberry and sing gentle songs, which did seem to stimulate the strawberry, and its size grew significantly. As Sara hummed, she giggled (咯咯 笑) to herself, “ This giant could bake a hundred pies!” She remembered her mother’ s wisdom: “Never worry over split (裂开的) berries, girls — they’ re just begging to become dessert. ” In a week, the berry had grown to be as big as a watermelon. After the second week, it was as large as a tractor tire. It was time to take their substantial strawberry to the State Fair. The sisters somehow succeeded in shifting it safely onto the pick-up truck. Sara and Suzy sat on either side of the strawberry while Stacey drove. At the fair, the spectators crowded the sisters’ stand to see the surprising strawberry. “Sensational!” said a shoe salesman. “Shocking!” screamed a senior citizen. “Superb!” said the judge of the competition. “I’ve never seen such a splendid, superior one! I declare it the Supreme Strawberry of the State Fair!” The sisters screamed at their success. 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。 　 　 However, just at the moment of their victory, the fruit unexpectedly burst open. 　 　 　 　 　 　 Suddenly, Sara saw the nearby cake stand. 高二英语试卷　 第 12 页(共 12 页)
