She was so poor that she had to work hard every day. But one night as she sat at the table, the lady said to herself, “I wish I could be of some use to the world. Why can’t I do good to someone else besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea. She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes hit the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of the danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast. The lady felt glad when the thought came into her mind. She found that, if she worked an hour longer each night. she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp. So she worked late and made money to buy the oil and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives. She did this for five years without any reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds are often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick. She was happy with the thought that she was doing something good. So, as long as she lived, she would light her lamp each night and place it at the window. 24. How might sailors feel when they saw the lamp at the window? A. Thankful. B. Nervous. C. Sorry. D. Proud. 25. How did the lady get the money to pay for the oil? A. She worked one more hour each night. B. She raised money from the sailors. C. She got money from the government. D. She sold tea and grapes to others. 26. What can we know about the lady? A. She knew the sailors. B. She was kind-hearted. C. She worked on a ship. D. She lived alone on the sea. 27. What’s the best title for the text? A. Love for the Poor B. Ships in the Sea C. Gifts from Sailors D. The Lady’s Lamp C Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is observed in Canada every October or November. People mark the occasion in many ways — schools, businesses, community groups, and cultural associations all join in the festivities. Some companies host special Diwali dinners, while communities organize various events like firework shows, dance performances, street light displays, and theatrical plays. Many women wear fine jewellery and silk outfits to celebrate Diwali. Some women and girls use Mehendi, a dye decoration which can last a limited time, on their palms, and then they will finally get colourful hand paintings. Many homes that celebrate Diwali have various types of sweets, salty and spiced food as well as Diwali herbs (香草). Various lights, candles and sparklers are lit inside and outside homes, especially in courtyards, on Diwali. Diwali is not a nationwide public holiday in Canada, but it is a prevalent festival celebrated in many towns and cities. There may be traffic jams and parking places may be full in areas where events are held to celebrate Diwali. Some businesses may close early on Diwali. Diwali is called the “Festival of Lights” and is celebrated to honour Rama, a hero who once fought and won a battle against the demons (恶魔). In the past, people lit their houses to celebrate his victory over demons (light over darkness). At the same time, every household did careful and complete cleaning at home in advance. It is believed that the goddess of happiness and good fortune, Lakshmi, travels around the Earth on this day and enters the house that is pure, clean, and bright. Diwali celebrations may vary in different communities but its spiritual meaning is generally “the awareness of the inner light”. As the word “Deepavali” means “a row or cluster of light”, the festival symbolises the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. 28. What can we learn about Diwali from the first two paragraphs? A. It is celebrated on a fixed day. B. It centres on various local foods. C. People stay up late to prepare for it. D. People from all walks of life enjoy celebrating it. 29. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A Popular. B. Free. C. Serious. D. Funny. 30. According to Paragraph 3, why did people make their houses bright and clean on Diwali? A. To expect joy and good luck. B. To pray for a good journey. C. To create a romantic atmosphere. D. To welcome their friends to visit. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To stress the importance of a public holiday. B. To briefly introduce a traditional festival in Canada. C. To tell an interesting story about a Canadian festival. D. To show different holiday celebrations in Western cultures. D When you buy a coffee table from IKEA (宜家家居), you have to wrestle with a bag of seemingly mismatched screws (螺丝钉) and some difficult-to-understand instructions. Or you can simply buy the same thing ready-to-use at a higher price. Which one will you choose? The one that requires the less effort? Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. Inzlicht’s aim was not just to name it, but to explain why people find effort so satisfying. Their study suggests two possibilities: whether the satisfaction comes more from the good results of hard effort or more from hard effort itself. For the first, the good results seem extra sweet because of the sharp contrast between the unpleasantness of working hard and the joy of achievement. The second is self-delusion (自我欺骗): If you do something hard without a good result, you make yourself believe you must really like it because you have worked so hard. The study also shows that even if the Effort Paradox applies to everyone, it doesn’t apply equally. Some people will naturally be drawn to hard effort more than others, while others seemingly can learn to value effort more. However, it doesn’t mean that you need to turn life into a never-ending struggle. Neither should you shy away from trouble. As Inzlicht said, making efforts “seems to be the key path, maybe the only path to meeting certain needs. You can’t get those without pushing yourself.” 32. Why is the IKEA table mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To promote IKEA’s design style. B. To explore the effort issue. C. To show a shopping phenomenon. D. To introduce a DIY product. 33. What can we learn about the two possibilities? A. Working hard is pleasant. B. Good results bring people joy. C. People like comparing things. D. Success is from self-cheating. 34. Which of the following might Inzlicht agree with? A. Great minds think alike. B. Nothing worth having comes easy. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Good things come to those who wait. 35. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. How Can People Live Life to the Fullest? B. The IKEA Effect: How Effort Creates Value C. Why Do People Enjoy Doing Difficult Things? D. Struggle with Effort: The Path to Achievement 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。 Learning about and understanding diverse cultures can broaden our horizons (眼界) and help us respect people from different backgrounds. ___36___.

I had to deal with school affairs, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. Fortunately, it was my neighbor, Mr Jensen, who brought me back to earth. Mr Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Often, we would spend hours side by side in our gardens, sharing stories about the plants and flowers that we tended to with great care. One sunny afternoon, feeling stressed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed (除杂草), and my annoyance was letting up with each of unwanted plants pulled out. Mr Jensen was there as usual, taking care of his flowering rosebushes. Seeing my frustration, he walked slowly towards me and silently started weeding alongside me. After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. “You know,” he began, “weeding a garden is a lot like going through life.” Deeply attracted, I stopped and looked at him with curiosity. He continued, “Sometimes, we focus so much on the weeds — the problems and difficulties — that we forget to enjoy the flowers.” He pointed to the beautiful roses in his garden, their bright colors shining in the afternoon sun. “Don’t forget to appreciate the roses even as you deal with the weeds,” he said. Those simple and deep words lit up a light in my heart at that moment. I stared at the roses, which gently swayed (摇摆) in the light wind with a few drops on their petals (花瓣), looking especially beautiful. I suddenly realized that it had been a long time since I quietly appreciated the lovely things around me. 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。 From that day on, my life changed a bit. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Mr Jensen, I got my college acceptance letter!” I said excitedly. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$顶尖教育高一英语听力，现在是听力试音时间。Hello, international friends club. can I help you?

Her husband died. She had no children and lived by herself. She was so poor that she had to work hard every day. But one night as she sat at the table, the lady said to herself, “I wish I could be of some use to the world. Why can’t I do good to someone else besides myself?” At last, she came up with an idea. She decided that she would keep a lighted lamp at the window for the sailors every night. She found that ships sometimes hit the rocks in the sea, since there was no lighthouse to warn them of the danger at night. Maybe her lamp would warn them when their ships came near the rocks on the coast. The lady felt glad when the thought came into her mind. She found that, if she worked an hour longer each night. she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp. So she worked late and made money to buy the oil and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives. She did this for five years without any reward, or the hope of reward. However, good deeds are often found out. The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. But the poor lady did not need these gifts to make her happy. She gave many of them to the poor and the sick. She was happy with the thought that she was doing something good. So, as long as she lived, she would light her lamp each night and place it at the window. 24. How might sailors feel when they saw the lamp at the window? A. Thankful. B. Nervous. C. Sorry. D. Proud. 25. How did the lady get the money to pay for the oil? A. She worked one more hour each night. B. She raised money from the sailors. C. She got money from the government. D. She sold tea and grapes to others. 26. What can we know about the lady? A. She knew the sailors. B. She was kind-hearted. C. She worked on a ship. D. She lived alone on the sea. 27. What’s the best title for the text? A. Love for the Poor B. Ships in the Sea C. Gifts from Sailors D. The Lady’s Lamp 【答案】24. A 25. A 26. B 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述一位贫困女士每晚在窗前点灯为水手引路，拯救许多生命的故事。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“  So she worked late and made money to buy the oil and then she placed the lamp at the window each night. In this way she saved many lives. (于是她工作到很晚，挣钱买油，然后每天晚上把灯放在窗户上。她就这样救了许多人的命。)”和第五段的“The sailors whose lives had been saved began to send gifts to her from faraway countries. They sent her tea from China, cloth from India, silk from France and grapes from Spain. (那些被救了性命的水手开始从遥远的国度给她寄礼物。他们送给她中国的茶叶、印度的布匹、法国的丝绸和西班牙的葡萄。)”可知，当水手们看到窗户上的灯时，他们对这个女人很是感谢。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“She found that, if she worked an hour longer each night, she could make enough money to pay for the oil for the lamp.

(她决定每天晚上在窗户上为水手们放一盏灯。)”和最后一段的“So, as long as she lived, she would light her lamp each night and place it at the window. (因此，只要她活着，她就为每晚点亮放在窗口的灯。)”可知，文章主要讲述了一位独自生活的女士每天晚上在窗户上放一盏灯为船员指明靠岸的方向，很多船员的生命因此得救，女士为自己能帮助别人而感到开心，因此，“女士的灯”可以概括文章主题，作为标题合适。故选D项。 C Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is observed in Canada every October or November. People mark the occasion in many ways — schools, businesses, community groups, and cultural associations all join in the festivities. Some companies host special Diwali dinners, while communities organize various events like firework shows, dance performances, street light displays, and theatrical plays. Many women wear fine jewellery and silk outfits to celebrate Diwali. Some women and girls use Mehendi, a dye decoration which can last a limited time, on their palms, and then they will finally get colourful hand paintings. Many homes that celebrate Diwali have various types of sweets, salty and spiced food as well as Diwali herbs (香草). Various lights, candles and sparklers are lit inside and outside homes, especially in courtyards, on Diwali. Diwali is not a nationwide public holiday in Canada, but it is a prevalent festival celebrated in many towns and cities. There may be traffic jams and parking places may be full in areas where events are held to celebrate Diwali. Some businesses may close early on Diwali. Diwali is called the “Festival of Lights” and is celebrated to honour Rama, a hero who once fought and won a battle against the demons (恶魔). In the past, people lit their houses to celebrate his victory over demons (light over darkness). At the same time, every household did careful and complete cleaning at home in advance. It is believed that the goddess of happiness and good fortune, Lakshmi, travels around the Earth on this day and enters the house that is pure, clean, and bright. Diwali celebrations may vary in different communities but its spiritual meaning is generally “the awareness of the inner light”. As the word “Deepavali” means “a row or cluster of light”, the festival symbolises the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. 28. What can we learn about Diwali from the first two paragraphs? A. It is celebrated on a fixed day. B. It centres on various local foods. C. People stay up late to prepare for it. D. People from all walks of life enjoy celebrating it. 29. What does the underlined word “prevalent” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Popular. B. Free. C. Serious. D. Funny. 30. According to Paragraph 3, why did people make their houses bright and clean on Diwali? A. To expect joy and good luck. B. To pray for a good journey. C. To create a romantic atmosphere. D. To welcome their friends to visit. 31. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To stress the importance of a public holiday. B. To briefly introduce a traditional festival in Canada. C. To tell an interesting story about a Canadian festival. D. To show different holiday celebrations in Western cultures. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了加拿大排灯节的庆祝方式、意义等相关内容。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People mark the occasion in many ways — schools, businesses, community groups, and cultural associations all join in the festivities. (人们以多种方式庆祝这个节日——学校、企业、社区团体和文化协会都参与到庆祝活动中来)”可知，各行各业的人都喜欢庆祝排灯节。故选D。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“Diwali is not a nationwide public holiday in Canada, but it is a prevalent festival celebrated in many towns and cities. There may be traffic jams and parking places may be full in areas where events are held to celebrate Diwali. Some businesses may close early on Diwali. (排灯节在加拿大不是全国性的公共假日，但它是一个在许多城镇都庆祝的prevalent节日。在庆祝排灯节的地区可能会出现交通堵塞，停车位可能会爆满。一些企业可能会在排灯节提前关门)”可知，排灯节受到很多关注和庆祝，由此推测prevalent意为“受欢迎的，流行的”，与Popular意思相近。故选A。 30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“It is believed that the goddess of happiness and good fortune, Lakshmi, travels around the Earth on this day and enters the house that is pure, clean, and bright. (人们相信，幸福和好运女神拉克希米在这一天环游地球，并进入纯净、干净和明亮的房子)”可知，人们把房子弄得明亮干净是为了期待快乐和好运。故选A。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights,” is observed in Canada every October or November. People mark the occasion in many ways-schools, businesses, community groups, and cultural associations all join in the festivities. Some companies host special Diwali dinners, while communities organize various events like firework shows, dance performances, street light displays, and theatrical plays. (排灯节，又称“光明节”，每年十月或十一月在加拿大庆祝。人们以多种方式庆祝这个节日——学校、企业、社区团体和文化协会都参与到庆祝活动中来。一些公司会举办特别的排灯节晚宴，而社区则会组织各种活动，如烟花表演、舞蹈演出、街灯展示和戏剧表演)”可知，文章主要从排灯节的庆祝时间、方式，背后的意义等方面对加拿大的排灯节进行了介绍。故选B。 D When you buy a coffee table from IKEA (宜家家居), you have to wrestle with a bag of seemingly mismatched screws (螺丝钉) and some difficult-to-understand instructions. Or you can simply buy the same thing ready-to-use at a higher price. Which one will you choose? The one that requires the less effort? Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. Inzlicht’s aim was not just to name it, but to explain why people find effort so satisfying. Their study suggests two possibilities: whether the satisfaction comes more from the good results of hard effort or more from hard effort itself. For the first, the good results seem extra sweet because of the sharp contrast between the unpleasantness of working hard and the joy of achievement. The second is self-delusion (自我欺骗): If you do something hard without a good result, you make yourself believe you must really like it because you have worked so hard. The study also shows that even if the Effort Paradox applies to everyone, it doesn’t apply equally. Some people will naturally be drawn to hard effort more than others, while others seemingly can learn to value effort more. However, it doesn’t mean that you need to turn life into a never-ending struggle. Neither should you shy away from trouble. As Inzlicht said, making efforts “seems to be the key path, maybe the only path to meeting certain needs. You can’t get those without pushing yourself.” 32. Why is the IKEA table mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To promote IKEA’s design style. B. To explore the effort issue. C. To show a shopping phenomenon. D. To introduce a DIY product. 33. What can we learn about the two possibilities? A. Working hard is pleasant. B. Good results bring people joy. C. People like comparing things. D. Success is from self-cheating. 34. Which of the following might Inzlicht agree with? A. Great minds think alike. B. Nothing worth having comes easy. C. Fortune favors the brave. D. Good things come to those who wait. 35. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. How Can People Live Life to the Fullest? B. The IKEA Effect: How Effort Creates Value C. Why Do People Enjoy Doing Difficult Things? D. Struggle with Effort: The Path to Achievement 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. B 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了努力悖论，即人们为何会珍视通过努力获得的东西，为什么人们喜欢做困难的事情。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“When you buy a coffee table from IKEA (宜家家居), you have to wrestle with a bag of seemingly mismatched screws (螺丝钉) and some difficult-to-understand instructions. Or you can simply buy the same thing ready-to-use at a higher price. Which one will you choose? The one that requires the less effort? (当你在宜家家居购买一张咖啡桌时，你得面对一堆看似不匹配的螺丝钉和一些难以理解的安装说明，费尽心思去组装。或者，你也可以选择直接以更高的价格购买一件现成的同款咖啡桌。你会选择哪一种呢？是选择那个不需要太多努力就能得到的吗？)”和第二段中“Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. (研究发现，人们实际上更珍视那些需要花费时间和精力去组装的咖啡桌。多伦多大学的社会心理学家Inzlicht和他的同事们引入了“努力悖论”来解释这一现象：尽管“少工作定律”表明人们会选择更容易的方式，但有时人们会因为需要付出努力而珍视某些经历和结果。)”可知，第一段提到宜家咖啡桌是为了引出“努力悖论”，探讨努力的问题。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Their study suggests two possibilities: whether the satisfaction comes more from the good results of hard effort or more from hard effort itself. For the first, the good results seem extra sweet because of the sharp contrast between the unpleasantness of working hard and the joy of achievement. (他们的研究提出了两种可能性：这种满足感是更多地来自努力付出后取得的好结果，还是更多地来自努力付出本身。对于第一种可能性，由于努力工作的艰辛与成就带来的喜悦之间形成了鲜明的对比，因此好结果显得格外甜美。)”可知，好的结果会给人带来快乐。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“As Inzlicht said, making efforts “seems to be the key path, maybe the only path to meeting certain needs. You can’t get those without pushing yourself.” (正如Inzlicht所说，努力“似乎是满足某些需求的关键途径，也许是唯一的途径。不逼自己一把，你就得不到这些。”)”可知，他认为有价值的事物需要付出努力，即值得拥有的东西来之不易。故选B。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第二段中“Studies have found that people actually value the coffee table they have to construct with time and hard work. Inzlicht, a University of Toronto social psychologist, and his workmates introduced the Effort Paradox (悖论) to make sense of it: Though the law of less work suggests people make the easier choice, sometimes people value experiences and results because they require effort. (研究发现，人们实际上更珍视那些需要花费时间和精力去组装的咖啡桌。多伦多大学的社会心理学家Inzlicht和他的同事们引入了“努力悖论”来解释这一现象：尽管“少工作定律”表明人们会选择更容易的方式，但有时人们会因为需要付出努力而珍视某些经历和结果。)”可知，文章主要探讨了努力悖论，即人们为何会珍视通过努力获得的东西，为什么人们喜欢做困难的事情。所以B项“Why Do People Enjoy Doing Difficult Things? (为什么人们喜欢做困难的事情？)”最符合文章主旨。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning about and understanding diverse cultures can broaden our horizons (眼界) and help us respect people from different backgrounds. ___36___.

I was a high-school student at the time. I had to deal with school affairs, social activities, and the pressure of upcoming college applications. Fortunately, it was my neighbor, Mr Jensen, who brought me back to earth. Mr Jensen was a quiet man in his seventies who lived alone in the house next door. Despite our age difference, we had a shared love for gardening, a hobby that formed an unlikely friendship between us. Often, we would spend hours side by side in our gardens, sharing stories about the plants and flowers that we tended to with great care. One sunny afternoon, feeling stressed and anxious, I decided to take a break from my studies. I headed outside to my backyard garden where I began to angrily weed (除杂草), and my annoyance was letting up with each of unwanted plants pulled out. Mr Jensen was there as usual, taking care of his flowering rosebushes. Seeing my frustration, he walked slowly towards me and silently started weeding alongside me. After a few minutes of shared silence, he finally spoke up. “You know,” he began, “weeding a garden is a lot like going through life.” Deeply attracted, I stopped and looked at him with curiosity. He continued, “Sometimes, we focus so much on the weeds — the problems and difficulties — that we forget to enjoy the flowers.” He pointed to the beautiful roses in his garden, their bright colors shining in the afternoon sun. “Don’t forget to appreciate the roses, even as you deal with the weeds,” he said. Those simple and deep words lit up a light in my heart at that moment. I stared at the roses, which gently swayed (摇摆) in the light wind with a few drops on their petals (花瓣), looking especially beautiful. I suddenly realized that it had been a long time since I quietly appreciated the lovely things around me. 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。 From that day on, my life changed a bit. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Mr Jensen, I got my college acceptance letter!” I said excitedly. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: From that day on, my life changed a bit. I began to slow down and notice the little things that brought me joy. Instead of rushing through each day buried in stress, I made time to walk through the garden, admire blooming flowers, or simply sit quietly with Mr Jensen. Our conversations became more frequent and deeper, and I found peace in his calm presence. The act of gardening taught me patience, care, and the importance of appreciating beauty even during difficult times. As seasons passed, I grew not only as a student but also as a person who learned to balance hard work with moments of stillness and gratitude. “Mr Jensen, I got my college acceptance letter!” I said excitedly. He smiled warmly and gave me a gentle pat on the back. “I always knew you could do it,” he said. Then, without a word, he walked into his garden and picked a single red rose. Handing it to me, he said, “This is for you — a symbol of growth, strength, and beauty.” I held it close, feeling a deep sense of gratitude. That rose reminded me of where I started and how far I had come. Though I would soon leave for college, I knew that Mr Jensen’s lessons — and the roses — would always stay with me. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者与邻居詹森先生的交往为线索，讲述了高压生活中的作者在詹森先生的点拨下，领悟到要在应对生活“杂草”的同时欣赏“玫瑰”般美好事物的道理，展现了园艺爱好带来的人生启迪与跨越年龄的友谊。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那天起，我的生活有了一点变化。”可知，第一段可描写作者开始放慢节奏，留意生活中的小确幸，与詹森先生交流增多，在园艺中学会耐心与感恩，实现学业与生活的平衡。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘詹森先生，我收到大学录取通知书了！’我兴奋地说。”可知，第二段可描写詹森先生的欣慰与鼓励，他赠送红玫瑰象征成长与美好，作者感恩这份情谊，明白先生的教诲会伴自己远航。 2. 续写线索：生活转变——慢节奏赏美好——深化交流——园艺悟成长——获录取通知——先生赠玫瑰——铭记教诲 3. 词汇激活 行为类： ①匆忙度过：rush through/hurry through ②走进：walk into/step into/enter ③欣赏：admire/appreciate 情绪类： ①平静：peace/calmness/serenity ②感恩：gratitude /thankfulness/appreciation 【点睛】【高分句型1】As seasons passed, I grew not only as a student but also as a person who learned to balance hard work with moments of stillness and gratitude.
