The girl placed two things into Wang’s hand: a small, folded note and a warm heat patch. Wang unfolded (打开) the paper: “If the sky is cloudy, I will be your sunshine.” In that instant, the classroom walls of Mengla No. 1 High School seemed to glow. The pain and weariness didn’t vanish, but something warmer — a shared kindness — rose to meet it. This quiet moment defined Wang’s year as a volunteer teacher in rural Yunnan. Wang, 22, graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing with degrees in Chinese literature and international economics. Yet her true passion was service. Guided by her motto — “When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world” — she led campus volunteer groups and launched online literacy projects. When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place. Now, far from her coastal hometown of Quanzhou, Wang teaches in mountainous Mengla County. Her classroom holds not just textbooks, but trust. The student’s note wasn’t just comfort; it was a reflection of the connection Wang builds daily. “People might imagine rural teaching means just giving lessons,” Wang might say. “But it’s more. It’s showing up, even when it’s hard. It’s seeing their struggles, and letting them see yours. That note? That was sunshine returned.” Wang understands her role transcends (超越) academics. In Mengla, she cultivates hope — one warm patch, one quiet word of sunshine at a time. 4. Why did the girl give Wang Xueru two things? A. To thank her for excellent teaching. B. To return classroom items she lost. C To comfort her during physical pain. D. To remind her about the weather. 5. Why was Wang Xueru selected for the “Go West” program? A. She had rich volunteer experience. B. She had top grades in economics. C. She created new teaching methods. D. She could bear difficult conditions. 6. Which of the following best describes Wang Xueru? A. Ambitious and strict. B. Caring and committed. C. Intelligent and quiet. D. Brave and self-reliant. 7. What does Wang Xueru understand rural teaching involves? A. Following school rules strictly. B. Adapting to local weather challenges. C. Focusing on personal achievements. D. More than academic lessons. C In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station. Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones. Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake. EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added. 8. Which of the following best describes the EDP project? A. It went unquestioned. B. It can be costly but eco-friendly. C. It has already expanded. D. It is separated from the power station. 9. What can be learned about floating solar projects? A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots. B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access. C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones. D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake. 10. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph? A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success. B. By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity. C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power. D. The floating solar technology has a promising future. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Floating Solar Ready to Shine B. Solar Power or Hydro Power C. The Dawn of Renewable Energy D. A Glimpse into Global Floating Solar Farms D David Strayer, an expert in attention at the University of Utah never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. His research shows that, when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol. Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress. What is the best cure for the overstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results. Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says. Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. People enjoy them without having to concentrate on them, which allows the brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and could improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’” 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cure for the reduction of creativity. B. The harmful effects caused by multitasking. C. The common use of multitasking in the USA. D. The reason for the popularity of multitasking. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a likely benefit of seeing nature? A. Faster reaction speeds. B. Better school performance. C. Improved mental function. D. Feelings of calm and relaxation. 14. How did the researchers get the result of their study? A. By doing surveys. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining the phenomenon. 15. What does Strayer think about “interacting with nature”? A. It requires a lot of concentration to be effective. B. It only works for people who enjoy natural views. C. It is a free and accessible treatment to reduce stress. D. It is an expensive therapy that improves brain function. 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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。 Visiting a science museum is a highly underrated leisure activity.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that swim meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever that I would come in anything but eighth place and only that, because there weren’t nine lanes. As I was mounting the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head. “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 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。 SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 菁华校区高二第一次阶段性考试英语试题 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 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.

When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place.(在“穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下”的座右铭指引下，她带领校园志愿者团队，发起在线扫盲项目。当她申请竞争激烈的“西部计划”研究生支教项目时（每年50名申请者中仅选21人），她的经历十分亮眼，最终成功入选)”可知，王雪茹之所以能入选“西部计划”，是因为她拥有丰富的志愿者经历。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Wang, 22, graduated from the University of International Business and Economics in Beijing with degrees in Chinese literature and international economics. Yet her true passion was service. Guided by her motto — “When poor, cultivate yourself; when successful, help the world” — she led campus volunteer groups and launched online literacy projects. When she applied for the competitive “Go West” Postgraduate Education Supporting Program (only 21 chosen yearly from 50 applicants), her experience shone. She earned her place.(22 岁的王雪茹毕业于北京对外经济贸易大学，拥有中国文学与国际经济双学位。但她真正的热忱在于服务他人。在‘穷则独善其身，达则兼济天下’这一座右铭的指引下，她带领校园志愿者团队，还发起了线上扫盲项目。当她申请竞争激烈的“西部计划”研究生支教项目时（该项目每年从 50 名申请者中仅选拔 21 人），她的过往经历十分亮眼，最终成功入选)”可知，从王雪茹的行为来看：她放弃城市机会，前往云南农村支教，体现对支教事业的“投入（committed）”；根据第四段“Now, far from her coastal hometown of Quanzhou, Wang teaches in mountainous Mengla County. Her classroom holds not just textbooks, but trust. The student’s note wasn’t just comfort; it was a reflection of the connection Wang builds daily.(如今，王雪茹远离自己位于沿海地区的家乡泉州，在山区勐腊县任教。在她的课堂上，不仅有课本，更有信任。学生递来的那张纸条，不只是一份安慰，更是王雪茹日常与学生建立起情感联结的体现)”可知，学生在她胃痛时送暖贴和纸条，而这源于她日常与学生建立的信任和关怀，反过来也体现她平时对学生的“关心（caring）”。故选B项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中的““People might imagine rural teaching means just giving lessons,” Wang might say. “But it’s more. It’s showing up, even when it’s hard. It’s seeing their struggles, and letting them see yours. ”（王雪茹可能会说：“人们可能以为农村教学只是上课，但远不止如此。它意味着即便困难也要坚持到场，意味着看见学生的困境，也让学生看见你的不易”）”以及第六段中的“Wang understands her role transcends (超越) academics (王雪茹明白自己的角色超越了学术教学)”可知，王雪茹认为农村教学不仅仅包含学术课程。故选D项。 C In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. In this first phase of the project at Alqueva, engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. These are connected to an energy-storage system combining batteries and are integrated with the hydroelectric dam’s power station. Floating solar projects do face plenty of challenges. The kit has to be water-, wave-, wind- and storm-resistant, which adds complexity and cost. The fish in lakes attract plenty of birds, whose droppings can block the sun. To deal with this, engineers for the project at Alqueva have developed remote-controlled cleaning robots and are working on autonomous ones. Yet floating solar projects also enjoy several advantages. When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. The cooling effect of being on water boosts the efficiency of the modules, with studies suggesting gains of between 5% and 15%over land-based PV, while the shade they produce slows the water loss of the lake. EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. “This may pale in comparison to the 1,600,000MW of solar capacity installed as of last year. But every bit counts,” he added. 8 Which of the following best describes the EDP project? A. It went unquestioned. B. It can be costly but eco-friendly. C. It has already expanded. D. It is separated from the power station. 9. What can be learned about floating solar projects? A. Engineers have developed auto cleaning robots. B. Floating solar projects demand less time for grid access. C. Land-based PV modules are more productive than floating ones. D. The PV modules decrease the water level of the lake. 10. What might EDP agree with according to the last paragraph? A. The project at Alqueva is an instant success. B By 2025 the project at Alqueva will provide 70MW capacity. C. The project will generate the majority of global renewable power. D. The floating solar technology has a promising future. 11. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Floating Solar Ready to Shine B. Solar Power or Hydro Power C. The Dawn of Renewable Energy D. A Glimpse into Global Floating Solar Farms 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了葡萄牙阿尔克瓦镇附近的欧洲最大人工湖中的一个创新型浮动太阳能发电厂项目，该项目由领先的可再生能源公司EDP开发。文章阐述了该项目面临的挑战、具备的优势以及公司对其未来的规划和前景展望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. ( 尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度，但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”以及第二段中“engineers have stationed some 12,000 PV modules (光伏组件) on floating platforms made from partially recycled plastic and locally sourced soft wood. (工程师们在浮动平台上安装了大约12,000个光伏模块，这些平台由部分回收塑料和当地采购的软木材制成。)”可知，该项目成本较高，但是使用了部分回收塑料和当地的软木，是环保的。故选B项。 9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“When located at existing hydroelectric dams they do not require any additional land and can be connected to the grid (电网) without the multi-year wait common for solar projects. (当它们位于现有的水电大坝上时，不需要任何额外的土地，并且可以连接到电网，而不需要像太阳能项目那样等待多年。)”可知，浮动太阳能项目不需要额外的土地，并且可以更快地接入电网，不需要像普通太阳能项目那样等待多年。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“EDP views floating solar as a cornerstone of its renewable energy strategy. The initial 5megawatt s (MW, 兆瓦) capacity at Alqueva may seem modest, but it’s just the beginning. The company is planning a second phase, which will see an additional 70MW capacity by 2025. According to Wood Mackenzie, a leading consultancy, floating solar technology could deliver up to 60,000MW of renewable energy globally by 2031. (EDP将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石。Alqueva最初的5兆瓦容量可能看起来不大，但这只是一个开始。该公司正在计划第二阶段，到2025年将增加70兆瓦的产能。据领先的咨询公司伍德·麦肯齐称，到2031年，浮动太阳能技术将为全球提供高达6万兆瓦的可再生能源。)”可知，EDP 公司将浮动太阳能视为其可再生能源战略的基石，虽然目前规模较小，但有进一步的规划，并且咨询公司也认为到 2031 年浮动太阳能技术有很大的发展潜力，所以EDP公司会认为浮动太阳能技术有光明的未来。故选D项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及第一段“In Portugal, near the town of Alqueva, lies Europe’s largest artificial lake, home to an innovative floating solar-power plant developed by EDP, a leading renewable energy company. Despite initial skepticism about the high costs and potential issues of floating solar technology, this project represents the sector’s maturation and readiness for expansion. ( 在葡萄牙的阿尔基瓦镇附近，坐落着欧洲最大的人工湖，一个由领先的可再生能源公司EDP开发的创新型浮动太阳能发电厂就在这里。尽管最初对浮动太阳能技术的高成本和潜在问题持怀疑态度，但该项目代表了该行业的成熟和扩张准备。)”可知，文章主要介绍了 EDP公司开发的浮动太阳能发电厂项目，包括其面临的挑战、优势以及未来的发展规划，强调了浮动太阳能技术的发展前景。A选项“Floating Solar Ready to Shine”（浮动太阳能即将大放异彩），既提到了浮动太阳能，又体现了其未来的发展前景，符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选A项。 D David Strayer, an expert in attention at the University of Utah never texts or talks on a phone when he is driving. His research shows that, when driving, using a phone can be as dangerous as drinking alcohol. Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress. What is the best cure for the overstressed minds? David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school. In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate. All did better than the city walkers. Lead researcher Yoshifumi Miyazaki has an explanation for these results. Our bodies relax in pleasant natural surroundings, he says. Humans evolved in that environment, not in places with tall buildings and lots of traffic. Strayer says it is the visual details in nature — sunsets, streams, butterflies that reduce stress and mental tiredness. People enjoy them without having to concentrate on them, which allows the brains to rest and recover from the stresses of modern life. “Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and could improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’” 12. What is the second paragraph mainly about? A. The cure for the reduction of creativity. B. The harmful effects caused by multitasking. C. The common use of multitasking in the USA. D. The reason for the popularity of multitasking. 13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a likely benefit of seeing nature? A. Faster reaction speeds. B. Better school performance. C. Improved mental function. D. Feelings of calm and relaxation. 14. How did the researchers get the result of their study? A. By doing surveys. B. By analyzing cause and effect. C. By making comparisons. D. By explaining the phenomenon. 15. What does Strayer think about “interacting with nature”? A. It requires a lot of concentration to be effective. B. It only works for people who enjoy natural views. C. It is a free and accessible treatment to reduce stress. D. It is an expensive therapy that improves brain function. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述了多任务处理对生产力和思维能力的负面影响，以及接触自然对缓解压力和提高认知能力的好处。研究表明，开车时使用手机等多任务处理行为会降低生产力，减少清晰思考和创造性记忆信息的能力，而接触自然环境则有助于放松大脑，减轻压力，提高学习和认知能力。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“Despite many warnings, multitasking is increasingly common. It is found that people in the United States switch tasks on their computers 566 times a day. However, when people spend hours on digital devices constantly switching between activities, the overall productivity decreases. Too much multitasking reduces the ability to think clearly and creatively and to remember information. This, in turn, can result in stress.(尽管有很多警告，但多任务处理越来越普遍。研究发现，美国人每天在电脑上切换任务多达 566 次。然而，当人们长时间使用数字设备，在不同活动之间频繁切换时，整体工作效率会下降。过多的多任务处理会降低清晰思考、创造性思考以及记忆信息的能力，这反过来又可能导致压力。)”可知，尽管有很多警告，但多任务处理越来越普遍，接着提到多任务处理会导致生产力下降、思维能力和记忆力减退，以及增加压力等负面影响。因此，本段主要讲述的是多任务处理造成的有害影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“David Strayer says the answer is simple: Spend some time in nature. When people are in natural environments, the prefrontal cortex (the brain’s control center) relaxes. Studies show that when people can see trees and grass, they are calmer and do better in school.( David Strayer 说道，答案很简单：花些时间在自然里。当人们身处自然环境时，前额皮质（大脑的控制中心）会放松下来。研究表明，当人们能够看到树木和草地时，他们会更加平静，并且在学校的表现也会更好。)”可知，接触自然的好处包括更好的学业表现、改善精神功能以及平静和放松的感觉。而文章中没有提到接触自然可以提高反应速度。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“In a study at Chiba University in Japan, 84 subjects went for a 15-minute walk in seven different forests. The same number of people walked around different city centers. Researchers then took blood from each person. The forest walkers had a 16 percent decrease in the stress hormone cortisol. In addition, they had a 2 percent drop in blood pressure and a 4 percent drop in heart rate.( 在日本千叶大学进行的一项研究中，84 名受试者在七处不同的森林中进行了 15 分钟的步行。同时，还有同样数量的人在不同的城市中心散步。随后，研究人员从每个人身上抽取了血液样本。结果显示，进行森林散步的受试者体内的应激激素皮质醇水平降低了 16%。此外，他们的血压降低了 2%，心率降低了 4%。)”可知，研究人员将受试者分为两组，一组在森林中散步，另一组在城市中心散步，然后通过比较两组受试者的生理指标（如应激激素皮质醇、血压和心率）来得出研究结果。因此，研究人员是通过对比两组受试者的结果来得出结论的。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Imagine a therapy (疗法) that was readily available, and could improve the cognitive (认知的) functioning at zero cost,” Strayer says. “It exists: it’s called ‘interacting with nature.’(“想象一下一种唾手可得的疗法，而且能够零成本地改善认知功能，”Strayer 说道。“它就存在：它叫做‘与自然互动’。”)”可知，Strayer认为接触自然是一种无需花费即可改善认知功能的疗法，因此选项C“It is a free and accessible treatment to reduce stress.(它是一种免费且容易获得的减压疗法)”符合题意。故选C。 第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15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。 Visiting a science museum is a highly underrated leisure activity.

I was often the only African American at the swimming competitions and our team couldn’t afford good uniforms. However, my number-one reason for wanting to quit was that I kept receiving “Honorable mentions” (安慰奖). Any athlete knows that you don’t want to have a bookshelf full of “Honorable Mentions”, which you get just because you showed up. One summer day, the day before a big swim meet, I decided to break the news to my grandma that I was quitting the swim team. When I told her, she looked me in the eye and said, “Baby, remember these words: ‘Quitters never win and winners never quit.’ Your grandmother didn’t raise losers or quitters. You go to that swim meet tomorrow, and you swim like you are a grandchild of mine, you hear?” I was too afraid to say anything but “Yes, ma’am.” The next day we arrived at the swim meet late, missing my group of swimmers in the 15/16 age group. My coach insisted that I be allowed to swim with the older group. I knew that she was including me in the race so that our journey to the meet would not be wasted, and she had no expectations whatsoever that I would come in anything but eighth place and only that, because there weren’t nine lanes. As I was mounting the board, all the other girls looked at me. I quickly noticed that these girls were here to do one thing—beat me! All of a sudden, my grandma’s words rang in my head. “Quitters never win and winners never quit. You swim like you are a grandchild of mine. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” “Yes, Grandma, I will swim like I am a grandchild of yours,” I said to myself. 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。 SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One Possible Version: SPLASH! I swam harder than I’d ever swum before. As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person. I assumed we were battling for eighth place and I refused to finish dead last, so I added more kick on the last 200 yards. I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there. They must have gotten out of the water already. It was then that I heard the claps and cheers around me. I raised my head to see my coach screaming hysterically. My eyes followed her pointing finger and I couldn’t believe what I saw. The other swimmers had just reached the halfway point of the pool! That day, at age 15, I broke the national 17/18-year-old 400-freestyle record. I hung up my honorable mentions and replaced them with a huge trophy. “Yes, grandma, you’re right. Quitters never win and winners never quit.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以参加游泳比赛为线索展开，讲述了作者已经参加了五年的游泳比赛，准备退出，因为觉得自己很糟糕，但奶奶让作者坚持下去。第二天作者来到比赛地点，没有赶上作者15/16岁年龄组的游泳选手。教练坚持允许作者和年龄大一些的人一起游泳。当作者登上跳板时想起了奶奶的话。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①根据第一段首句“扑通一声！我游得比以前任何时候都努力”可知，下文应讲述作者比赛的经过和心理活动。 ②根据第二段首句“就在那时，欢呼声和掌声淹没了我”可知，下文应讲述作者打破了17/18 400自由泳的全国纪录，以及作者获胜后的感想。 2.续写线索：努力游泳——心理活动——听到欢呼声和掌声——知道自己破了纪录——感悟 3.此类激活 行为类 ①注意到：notice/spot/see/witness ②认为：assume/think ③抬起：raise/lift ④到达：reach/arrive at/get to 情绪类 ①歇斯底里地：hysterically/with all strength 【点睛】[高分句型1]As I drew my right arm back, I noticed I was tied with one person.（运用了as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]I hit the wall and looked to the left and to the right for the swimmers who had beat me, but no one was there.（运用了who引导的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
