B Simon took as much time as he could pulling on his snow trousers and boots, zipping up his jacket, and finding his helmet and gloves. His brother Gabe paced the front hall. “Let’s go!” The brothers walked to the park, the sleds (雪橇) bouncing against their snow pants. Swish, swish, swish. Simon could see the sledding hill ahead of them. To him, it looked more like a sledding mountain. It was so high that the park district had built wooden steps into the slope to help sledders climb back up. Kids were taking turns on sleds, screaming all the way down. Simon couldn’t tell if their cries meant they were happy or terrified. Yet he knew which one he felt. Gabe was taking the steps two at a time. “Come on!” he called to Simon. Simon stared up. He was both sweating and freezing, his stomach knotted like a pretzel. Should he turn back? But the line of kids on the steps behind him meant he had to keep climbing. At the top his brother stopped and looked at Simon. “Do you want me to go down with you?” he asked. Knowing Gabe wanted to fly down the sledding hill without his little brother, Simon took a deep breath. “I’m going. By myself.” “Good for you, Simon,” Gabe said. Simon sat crossed-legged on the sled and gripped (紧握) the plastic handles on each side. His heart was doing leapfrogs. Gabe gave him a small nudge on his back. Suddenly, he was dashing down the hill like a wild penguin. The wind whooshed. The cold stung. He had the handles in a death grip when the sled swung around and sent him flying down the hill backward. BACKWARD! He couldn’t stop. Faster and faster he went. He couldn’t even scream. Was he going to crash? Why had he thought this was a good idea? The ground leveled off, and Simon’s sled slowed and then came to a stop at last. He rolled out and lay on his back, breathing hard. “Are you all right?” Gabe asked. Simon sat up slowly and looked around. “Simon, say something! Say something!” Gabe said. Simon grinned, “Again?” 4. How did Simon feel before leaving for the park? A. Excited and confident. B. Hesitant and unwilling. C. Eager and amazed. D. Shocked and depressed. 5. Why did Simon decide to keep climbing the steps despite his fears? A. Because Gabe was pushing him to do so. B. Because he didn’t want to disappoint his brother. C. Because other kids were waiting behind him. D. Because the view from the top was too inviting. 6. What happened to Simon when he was sledding down the hill? A. He lost control and flew backward. B. He skillfully made a perfect turn. C. He crashed into the ground and got injured. D. He enjoyed a smooth ride down. 7. What can be inferred about Simon’s attitude at the end of the story? A. He was regretful and didn’t want to sled again. B. He was relieved and grateful to be safe. C. He was eager to sled a second time at once. D. He felt it unworthy to take the risk. C Step aside, blue collar. And white collar, pink collar and green collar. There’s a new collar in town. “New collar” jobs are those that require advanced skills but not necessarily advanced degrees, especially in emerging high-tech fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity (网络安全), electric vehicles and robotics. There are real fears that workers will lose jobs to technology, especially artificial intelligence, in the coming years. But “new collar” optimists think in a more positive way: There are also real opportunities ahead for skilled workers who know how to handle machines. “Somebody has to program, monitor and maintain those robots,” said Sarah Boisvert, the founder of the New-Collar Network. Even if millions of high-tech jobs are created in the coming years, the impact on workers who lose jobs may be significant. For many Americans without four-year college degrees, according to census (人口普查) data, the new job market will require training. Ginni Rometty, a former chief executive of IBM, is believed to have created a “new collar” in 2016. At the time, she said, IBM was having trouble filling cybersecurity jobs, partly because outdated criteria required that candidates have college degrees. “Due to our high qualifications in these online jobs we overlooked a large number of qualified and available candidates,” she wrote in an email. “Unless millions of people are trained in the skills employers need now,” she added, “they risk being unemployed even as millions of good-paying jobs go unfilled.” Christopher M. Cox, a researcher who has written about the new-collar economy, said, “The alternative model of four-year universities is really great.” However, he added that “new collar” may also be a clever term that relieves the anxiety of workers by defining the constantly changing labor market and technology companies as more ideal rather than “terminators (终结者).” 8. What does “new collar” mean? A. People engaged in cybersecurity. B. People working at electric vehicles. C. People closely connected with artificial intelligence. D. People with advanced skills regardless of degrees. 9. What made IBM’s cybersecurity jobs unfilled? A. Much stress. B. Low salaries. C. High qualifications. D. Few candidates. 10. What is the benefit of the “new collar” economy to the society? A. It gives more opportunities to the workers. B. It helps artificial intelligence develop better. C. It rebuilds the confidence of the white collar. D. It changes the system of technology companies. 11 What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the anxiety of workers. B. To state the electric vehicle industry. C. To emphasise the college education. D. To introduce the new-collar phenomenon. D While concerns about “digital dementia” — the potential for technology to harm memory and thinking skills — have grown, new research suggests smart phones and computers might actually help protect older adults’ cognitive health, the ability to think clearly, learn effectively, remember information and make decisions, all of which are essential for maintaining independence and overall mental well-being. A comprehensive review of 57 studies involving over 411,000 adults, whose average age was sixty-eight, revealed surprising findings. Older individuals who regularly used digital devices showed a 42% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to non-users. The research examined various technologies including smart phones, computers, social media, and email. Scientists propose several explanations for this protective effect. First, technology use, like texting, browsing, video calls, activates multiple brain regions, strengthening neural connections as crossword puzzles do. Second, digital tools help maintain social connections, fighting loneliness known to negatively impact cognitive health. “Technology engagement appears to offer both mental exercise and social benefits,” noted Dr. Helen Zhou, the study’s lead author. However, the study didn’t analyze specific usage patterns or duration. Additionally, since participants adopted technology later in life, results may differ for lifelong users. “Further comprehensive studies are required to establish the most effective ways of using digital tools for preserving cognitive function,” scientists cautioned. With approximately 10 million new dementia cases annually worldwide according to data from WHO, these findings open promising avenues for prevention. In Japan, retirement homes using tablet-based memory games report 30% slower cognitive decline. While not definitive, they challenge assumptions about technology’s universal harm to aging minds and highlight its potential as a tool for maintaining cognitive vitality in older populations. 12. Which factor contributes to the cognitive benefits that digital devices bring to the elderly? A. Improved dietary habits. B. Enhanced social connectivity. C. Increased physical activity. D. Better sleep quality. 13. What limitation of the study is highlighted by the researchers? A. The study focused mainly on younger adults. B. The sample size was too small to draw conclusions. C. The study included only lifelong technology users. D. It did not analyze specific usage patterns or duration. 14. What does the underlined word “avenues” refer to? A. Physical pathways. B. Research methods. C Potential approaches. D. Technological devices. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Digital Dementia Risks Outweigh Benefits B. Study: Tech Use May Protect Elderly Brains C. Social Media Harms Elderly Cognition D. Exercise Better Than Tech for Brain Health 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。 Stair-climbing: A Good Way to Exercise If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs as a regular exercise might be for you. Research shows that stair-climbing is more effective than walking. ____16____. Even going down stairs, you burn around five times more because your muscles have to work to slow the body.

However, I have always believed that girls need to be brave above all else, but this is easier said than done. I still remember I couldn’t see the screen directly when my daughter switched to the animal channel, which was broadcasting a show about snakes. I stood as far away from the TV as possible, too scared to open my eyes. However, my little angel was not scared of the snakes. In fact, she watched the show with a keen interest. I was relieved that my daughter didn’t get too many genetic phobias(遗传恐惧症). Even to this day, she is still obsessed with challenging herself with new things. This year, I got a chance to study in Singapore for six months. After the novelty of the first few days had gone, I found myself missing my family. With the summer vacation approaching, my husband agreed to make good use of the fact that I was staying in Singapore. He brought our daughter out to visit me and to enjoy the new experience in a new country. The reunion day finally came. My husband and my daughter arrived in the second week of July. I was so looking forward to seeing them. I had made many preparations for their visit. On the first day, I arranged for us to see Gardens by the Bay. When we walked out of the MRT station, we were amazed by the sight of the Super Trees. When my daughter saw lots of people walking on the Skyway, she couldn’t help shouting excitedly that she wanted to have a try. The Skyway is a 22-meter-high suspension bridge from which you can enjoy a birds eye view. Last time I came here with my friends, I firmly rejected their repeated attempts to challenge me to go up there. It was like the day with the snakes all over again. But could I really reject my little angel? Paragraph 1: My daughter was waiting for my reply. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 奋斗中学2025-2026学年第一学期高三第一次月考 英语试题 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纸上。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

His brother Gabe paced the front hall. “Let’s go!” The brothers walked to the park, the sleds (雪橇) bouncing against their snow pants. Swish, swish, swish. Simon could see the sledding hill ahead of them. To him, it looked more like a sledding mountain. It was so high that the park district had built wooden steps into the slope to help sledders climb back up. Kids were taking turns on sleds, screaming all the way down. Simon couldn’t tell if their cries meant they were happy or terrified. Yet he knew which one he felt. Gabe was taking the steps two at a time. “Come on!” he called to Simon. Simon stared up. He was both sweating and freezing, his stomach knotted like a pretzel. Should he turn back? But the line of kids on the steps behind him meant he had to keep climbing. At the top his brother stopped and looked at Simon. “Do you want me to go down with you?” he asked. Knowing Gabe wanted to fly down the sledding hill without his little brother, Simon took a deep breath. “I’m going. By myself.” “Good for you, Simon,” Gabe said. Simon sat crossed-legged on the sled and gripped (紧握) the plastic handles on each side. His heart was doing leapfrogs. Gabe gave him a small nudge on his back. Suddenly, he was dashing down the hill like a wild penguin. The wind whooshed. The cold stung. He had the handles in a death grip when the sled swung around and sent him flying down the hill backward. BACKWARD! He couldn’t stop. Faster and faster he went. He couldn’t even scream. Was he going to crash? Why had he thought this was a good idea? The ground leveled off, and Simon’s sled slowed and then came to a stop at last. He rolled out and lay on his back, breathing hard. “Are you all right?” Gabe asked. Simon sat up slowly and looked around. “Simon, say something! Say something!” Gabe said. Simon grinned, “Again?” 4. How did Simon feel before leaving for the park? A. Excited and confident. B. Hesitant and unwilling. C. Eager and amazed. D. Shocked and depressed. 5. Why did Simon decide to keep climbing the steps despite his fears? A. Because Gabe was pushing him to do so. B. Because he didn’t want to disappoint his brother. C Because other kids were waiting behind him. D. Because the view from the top was too inviting. 6. What happened to Simon when he was sledding down the hill? A. He lost control and flew backward. B. He skillfully made a perfect turn. C. He crashed into the ground and got injured. D. He enjoyed a smooth ride down. 7. What can be inferred about Simon’s attitude at the end of the story? A. He was regretful and didn’t want to sled again. B. He was relieved and grateful to be safe. C. He was eager to sled a second time at once. D. He felt it unworthy to take the risk. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了西蒙和哥哥加布去公园滑雪橇的故事，西蒙起初害怕犹豫，但最终勇敢尝试，结束后还想再滑一次。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Simon took as much time as he could pulling on his snow trousers and boots, zipping up his jacket, and finding his helmet and gloves. His brother Gabe paced the front hall. ‘Let’s go!’(西蒙尽可能慢地穿上雪裤和靴子，拉上夹克的拉链，找到他的头盔和手套。他的哥哥加布在前厅里踱来踱去。‘我们走吧!’)”可知，西蒙磨蹭着穿装备，表现出他的犹豫，不太愿意去公园。由此可推断出，西蒙在去公园之前是犹豫和不情愿的。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“But the line of kids on the steps behind him meant he had to keep climbing.(但他身后台阶上排着队的孩子们意味着他必须继续往上爬)”可知，西蒙决定继续爬台阶是因为其他孩子在他后面等着。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“He had the handles in a death grip when the sled swung around and sent him flying down the hill backward. BACKWARD! He couldn’t stop. Faster and faster he went.(他死命攥着雪橇把手，突然一个急转弯，整个人竟倒栽着飞冲下山！倒栽着啊！根本刹不住。速度越来越快，风在耳边呼啸)”可知，西蒙在滑雪橇下山时失去控制，倒着向后冲了下去。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Simon grinned, ‘Again?’(西蒙咧嘴一笑，‘再来一次?’)”可知，西蒙还想再滑一次，由此可推断出，他在故事结尾渴望立刻再滑一次雪橇。故选C项。 C Step aside, blue collar. And white collar, pink collar and green collar. There’s a new collar in town. “New collar” jobs are those that require advanced skills but not necessarily advanced degrees, especially in emerging high-tech fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity (网络安全), electric vehicles and robotics. There are real fears that workers will lose jobs to technology, especially artificial intelligence, in the coming years. But “new collar” optimists think in a more positive way: There are also real opportunities ahead for skilled workers who know how to handle machines. “Somebody has to program, monitor and maintain those robots,” said Sarah Boisvert, the founder of the New-Collar Network. Even if millions of high-tech jobs are created in the coming years, the impact on workers who lose jobs may be significant. For many Americans without four-year college degrees, according to census (人口普查) data, the new job market will require training. Ginni Rometty, a former chief executive of IBM, is believed to have created a “new collar” in 2016. At the time, she said, IBM was having trouble filling cybersecurity jobs, partly because outdated criteria required that candidates have college degrees. “Due to our high qualifications in these online jobs, we overlooked a large number of qualified and available candidates,” she wrote in an email. “Unless millions of people are trained in the skills employers need now,” she added, “they risk being unemployed even as millions of good-paying jobs go unfilled.” Christopher M. Cox, a researcher who has written about the new-collar economy, said, “The alternative model of four-year universities is really great.” However, he added that “new collar” may also be a clever term that relieves the anxiety of workers by defining the constantly changing labor market and technology companies as more ideal rather than “terminators (终结者).” 8. What does “new collar” mean? A. People engaged in cybersecurity. B. People working at electric vehicles. C. People closely connected with artificial intelligence. D. People with advanced skills regardless of degrees. 9. What made IBM’s cybersecurity jobs unfilled? A. Much stress. B. Low salaries. C. High qualifications. D. Few candidates. 10. What is the benefit of the “new collar” economy to the society? A. It gives more opportunities to the workers. B. It helps artificial intelligence develop better. C. It rebuilds the confidence of the white collar. D. It changes the system of technology companies. 11. What is the purpose of the text? A. To explain the anxiety of workers. B. To state the electric vehicle industry. C. To emphasise the college education. D. To introduce the new-collar phenomenon. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。就业市场上出现了一种新的术语，“新领”，指的是那些需要高级技能但不一定需要高学历的工作，文章对此进行了介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第三句““New collar” jobs are those that require advanced skills but not necessarily advanced degrees, especially in emerging high-tech fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity (网络安全), electric vehicles and robotics.(“新领”工作是指那些需要高级技能但不一定需要高学历的工作，尤其是在人工智能、网络安全、电动汽车和机器人等新兴高科技领域。)”可知，“新领”指的是那些需要高级技能但不一定需要高学历的工作。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段最后一句“At the time, she said, IBM was having trouble filling cybersecurity jobs, partly because outdated criteria required that candidates have college degrees.(她说，当时IBM很难找到合适网络安全职位，部分原因是过时的招聘标准要求应聘者必须拥有大学学位。)”可知，高资质要求使得IBM的网络安全职位空缺。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段最后一句“However, he added that “new collar” may also be a clever term that relieves the anxiety of workers by defining the constantly changing labor market and technology companies as more ideal rather than “terminators (终结者).”(然而，他补充说，“新领”也可能是一个聪明的术语，它将不断变化的劳动力市场和科技公司定义为更理想的，而不是“终结者”，从而缓解劳动者的焦虑。)”可知，“新领”经济对社会的好处是它给了劳动者更多的机会。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Step aside, blue collar. And white collar, pink collar and green collar. There’s a new collar in town. “New collar” jobs are those that require advanced skills but not necessarily advanced degrees, especially in emerging high-tech fields like artificial intelligence, cybersecurity (网络安全), electric vehicles and robotics.(让开，蓝领。还有白领，粉领和绿领。镇上来了个新头目。“新领”工作是指那些需要高级技能但不一定需要高学历的工作，尤其是在人工智能、网络安全、电动汽车和机器人等新兴高科技领域。)”以及全文内容可知，写作该篇文章的目的是为了介绍“新领”经济现象。故选D。 D While concerns about “digital dementia” — the potential for technology to harm memory and thinking skills — have grown, new research suggests smart phones and computers might actually help protect older adults’ cognitive health, the ability to think clearly, learn effectively, remember information and make decisions, all of which are essential for maintaining independence and overall mental well-being. A comprehensive review of 57 studies involving over 411,000 adults, whose average age was sixty-eight, revealed surprising findings. Older individuals who regularly used digital devices showed a 42% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to non-users. The research examined various technologies including smart phones, computers, social media, and email. Scientists propose several explanations for this protective effect. First, technology use, like texting, browsing, video calls, activates multiple brain regions, strengthening neural connections as crossword puzzles do. Second, digital tools help maintain social connections, fighting loneliness known to negatively impact cognitive health. “Technology engagement appears to offer both mental exercise and social benefits,” noted Dr. Helen Zhou, the study’s lead author. However, the study didn’t analyze specific usage patterns or duration. Additionally, since participants adopted technology later in life, results may differ for lifelong users. “Further comprehensive studies are required to establish the most effective ways of using digital tools for preserving cognitive function,” scientists cautioned. With approximately 10 million new dementia cases annually worldwide according to data from WHO, these findings open promising avenues for prevention. In Japan, retirement homes using tablet-based memory games report 30% slower cognitive decline. While not definitive, they challenge assumptions about technology’s universal harm to aging minds and highlight its potential as a tool for maintaining cognitive vitality in older populations. 12. Which factor contributes to the cognitive benefits that digital devices bring to the elderly? A. Improved dietary habits. B. Enhanced social connectivity. C. Increased physical activity. D. Better sleep quality. 13. What limitation of the study is highlighted by the researchers? A. The study focused mainly on younger adults. B. The sample size was too small to draw conclusions. C. The study included only lifelong technology users. D. It did not analyze specific usage patterns or duration. 14. What does the underlined word “avenues” refer to? A. Physical pathways. B. Research methods. C. Potential approaches. D. Technological devices. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Digital Dementia Risks Outweigh Benefits B. Study: Tech Use May Protect Elderly Brains C. Social Media Harms Elderly Cognition D. Exercise Better Than Tech for Brain Health 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了新研究表明智能手机和电脑等数字设备可能有助于保护老年人的认知健康，文章还探讨了其相关原因、研究局限性以及该发现的意义。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Second, digital tools help maintain social connections, fighting loneliness known to negatively impact cognitive health. (其次，数字工具有助于保持社交联系，对抗已知会对认知健康产生负面影响的孤独感。)”可知，数字设备给老年人带来的认知益处得益于加强了社交联系。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“However, the study didn’t analyze specific usage patterns or duration. (然而，该研究没有分析具体的使用模式或持续时间。)”可知，该研究的局限性在于没有分析具体的使用模式或持续时间。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段划线词所在句“With approximately 10 million new dementia cases annually worldwide according to data from WHO, these findings open promising avenues for prevention. (根据世界卫生组织的数据，全球每年约有1000万新增痴呆病例，这些发现为预防痴呆症开辟了有希望的avenues。)”可知，每年新增大量痴呆病例，而研究发现数字设备可能有助于保护老年人认知健康，所以这些发现为预防痴呆症开辟了有希望的方法或途径，“avenues”意为“潜在的方法或途径”，与C项“Potential approaches (潜在的方法)”意思相近。故选C项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。纵览全文，尤其是根据第一段“While concerns about “digital dementia” — the potential for technology to harm memory and thinking skills — have grown, new research suggests smart phones and computers might actually help protect older adults’ cognitive health, the ability to think clearly, learn effectively, remember information and make decisions, all of which are essential for maintaining independence and overall mental well-being. (尽管人们对“数字痴呆症”（即技术对记忆和思维能力造成损害的可能性）的担忧日益增加，但一项新的研究表明，智能手机和电脑实际上可能有助于保护老年人的认知健康，包括清晰思考、有效学习、记忆信息和做出决策的能力，而这些能力对于保持独立和整体心理健康至关重要。)”可知，文章主要介绍了新研究表明智能手机和电脑等数字设备可能有助于保护老年人的认知健康，B项“Study: Tech Use May Protect Elderly Brains (研究：使用科技可能保护老年人的大脑)”符合文章主旨，适宜作为标题。故选B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。 Stair-climbing: A Good Way to Exercise If you are trying to lose weight, climbing stairs as a regular exercise might be for you. Research shows that stair-climbing is more effective than walking. ____16____. Even going down stairs, you burn around five times more because your muscles have to work to slow the body.

He suggests that older people and beginner stair-climbers watch their speed. Minetti does his own stair-climbers at his home in Milan. He says he often takes a few deep breaths before going up many stairs. Trained as a doctor, Minetti has spent his career as a researcher, ____18____. The study notes that handrails (扶手) are available along most stairs in tall buildings. Using them increases the muscle involved by getting the arms involved, the study shows. “They are relatively small muscles s in the arms, but better than nothing,” Minetti says. “Handrails offer safety, too.” ____19____. If stair-climbing were an Olympic sport, Australian Suzy Walsham would win gold medals. She has won 10 races up New York City’s Empire State Building-officially 1,576 stairs—and five climbs up the Eiffel Tower, Overall, Walsham has won more than 100 international stair races.

However, I have always believed that girls need to be brave above all else, but this is easier said than done. I still remember I couldn’t see the screen directly when my daughter switched to the animal channel, which was broadcasting a show about snakes. I stood as far away from the TV as possible, too scared to open my eyes. However, my little angel was not scared of the snakes. In fact, she watched the show with a keen interest. I was relieved that my daughter didn’t get too many genetic phobias(遗传恐惧症). Even to this day, she is still obsessed with challenging herself with new things. This year, I got a chance to study in Singapore for six months. After the novelty of the first few days had gone, I found myself missing my family. With the summer vacation approaching, my husband agreed to make good use of the fact that I was staying in Singapore. He brought our daughter out to visit me and to enjoy the new experience in a new country. The reunion day finally came. My husband and my daughter arrived in the second week of July. I was so looking forward to seeing them. I had made many preparations for their visit. On the first day, I arranged for us to see Gardens by the Bay. When we walked out of the MRT station, we were amazed by the sight of the Super Trees. When my daughter saw lots of people walking on the Skyway, she couldn’t help shouting excitedly that she wanted to have a try. The Skyway is a 22-meter-high suspension bridge from which you can enjoy a birds eye view. Last time I came here with my friends, I firmly rejected their repeated attempts to challenge me to go up there. It was like the day with the snakes all over again. But could I really reject my little angel? Paragraph 1: My daughter was waiting for my reply. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Possible version one: My daughter was waiting for my reply. I was secretly very worried. But my daughter kept begging me and I could not bear to reject her. Bravery was the most significant quality that I wanted her to possess. Her curiosity was so strong that I couldn’t resist. I nodded slightly, and my daughter’s frowning face slowly broke into a smile. My response surprised my husband, who reacted with the wildest excitement as we walked towards the Skyway. When I stepped on it, I found myself horrified by the height. I grabbed the railing, almost unable to move. Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. My heart beat wildly, casting scared glances down the bridge. My husband and daughter held my hands tightly. I walked as though I were drunk. But their firm gaze built up my confidence and we kept going together. “Mom, look, it’s so beautiful.” What I saw there filled my soul with joy. The bay spread out far below me. Beyond it stood the tall and beautiful skyscrapers. I looked down at my little girl who taught her mother how to be brave, and breathed a sigh of relief. Possible version two: My daughter was waiting for my reply. I looked at her, then at the Skyway. I felt my heart threatening to burst out from my chest. My husband, who was used to this kind of situation and understood how scared I was, consoled me. He said he could go with our little girl instead. But my daughter wouldn’t give up easily and shouted out her own encouragement. I plucked up my courage and took my first step onto the suspension bridge, then another, I inched forward, all the way holding on tight to the handrail. Halfway across the bridge, I had to stop. I stood there, and my legs trembled despite my fruitless attempt to stay calm. Below the bridge, the treetops formed an ocean of green waves that threatened to devour me. Just then, I heard a familiar voice, and two little hands slipped into my arm. Looking down, I saw my little angel’s bright smile, encouraging me to finish the walk. Eventually, we reached the end together. My husband was surprised at my nerve, but I knew the reason I had felt so brave was for my little girl. 【解析】 【分析】本篇书面表达是读后续写。通过阅读所给文章可知，作者认为女孩最重要的品质是勇敢，但是说起来容易做起来难，作者被电视上播放的关于蛇的节目吓得离电视很远，但女儿却不怕，今年作者去新加坡学习，丈夫带着女儿来看她，一家人去滨海湾公园玩，女儿想玩悬索桥的航线，作者却不敢玩，但是她真的会拒绝女儿吗？ 【详解】续写部分分为两段，第一段开头是：我的女儿在等着我的答复……，所以本段应该写作者做决定的过程和丈夫的反应，着重写作者的心理活动，虽然自己很怕，但是希望女儿勇敢，所以不得不答应，丈夫对这一决定应该很惊讶等内容。第二段开头是：在桥的半道上，我不得不停止……本段应该写作者由于太害怕停下来后，丈夫和女儿的反应，他们应是鼓励并帮助作者战胜恐惧，最教会作者勇敢。 续写时注意所续写短文的词数应为150左右。按要求完成写作任务。 【点睛】本文描写详略得当，使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如：could not bear to do sth.，burst out，pluck up等高级词汇；Bravery was the most significant quality that I wanted her to possess. 中that引导的定语从句，Her curiosity was so strong that I couldn’t resist. 中so...that...引导的状语从句，My husband, who was used to this kind of situation and understood how scared I was, consoled me.中who引导的非限制性定语从句和how引导的宾语从句等高级句式。 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
