B Last September, I visited a protected wetland near my home. Though I’d used binoculars (望远镜), field guides and song identification apps all summer while hiking, this was the first time I only watched birds. I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird-watching marked my transformation into a birder. Seven months later, I’ve seen 452 species, learned dozens of calls, tracked rare birds, and even went looking for owls at night. I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A. When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 6. What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to. C easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by. 7 What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. C Britain’s housing crisis has created a distinct generational divide. While older generations often own property, millions of young adults face increasing rents and unachievable homeownership. A recent official report warns that 630, 000 people under 35 may face homelessness in old age due to chronic shortages of affordable homes. This crisis originates from decades of policy failure. Since the mid-1990s, house prices have skyrocketed dramatically, widening the gap between property owners and others. Government projects like “Help-to-Buy” intended to assist first-time buyers instead inflated prices further, making housing less accessible. University graduates carry heavy debts from tuition fees exceeding £9, 000 annually since 2010, weakening their savings potential. The rental market offers little relief. Private renters have jumped from 2. 8 million to 4. 5 million households since 2007, with those aged 25-34 consisting of over a third. Yet renters face instability and exploitation. “No-fault drivings” allow landlords (房东) to end rentings without cause, while rents exceed wage growth. Even social housing renters experience widening inequality compared to homeowners. Policy responses are emerging but controversial. London Mayor Sadiq Khan proposed a landlord registry and rent control commission to regulate the private sector. Scotland has established “rent pressure zones” to stop increases. The Labour Party advocates abolishing no-fault drivings, arguing that secure right of habitation are essential for dignity. Ultimately, this is about intergenerational fairness. A functional society cannot thrive when younger citizens bear unreasonable burdens. As one analyst notes: “We depend on the young to sustain our future — denying them housing security damages everyone.” 8. What does the official report predict about young adults? A. Universal elderly poverty. B. Persistent renting difficulties. C. Long-term housing insecurity. D. Unachievable huge property. 9. What brings about the housing crisis? A. Stable rental market. B. Students’ reduced debt burden. C. Decades-long policy failure. D. Consistent policy responses. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Young adults’ housing security should be guaranteed. B. Efforts should be made to create a sustainable society. C. The property of older generations should be passed on. D. The young should be responsible for intergenerational fairness. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Housing: Pricing out the Young? B. Policy: Regulating the Private Owners? C. Landlords: Forced to Accept Rent Hikes? D. Rental Control: Solving the Renter-landlord Conflicts? D The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below. The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand. As floatovoltaic systems expand with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better siting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.” Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output. Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company. Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock-on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso. Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens. 12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics? A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work. C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene. 13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics? A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output. C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms. 14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5? A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics. C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds. 15. What are scientists focusing on? A. Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices. C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats. 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。 You had the best intentions to study well before your exam, but you ended up getting distracted by other commitments, and now you have to study at the last minute. ____16____ Here are some strategies that can make last minute exam preparation more effective.

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 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。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南宁二中2025年9月高三月考 英语 （时间: 120分钟, 共150分） 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, 并标在试卷的相应位置, 听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题, 每段对话仅读一遍。 例: How much is the shirt?

I crowdsourced tips on social media platforms and went out with experienced birders. I used tools available to beginners. Many regard birding as just turning lives into checklist numbers, but even that is harder without knowledge. To find the birds, you have to know them. And in doing that, much else falls into space. Birding has boosted my time outdoors, pushing me to explore my neighborhood in ways I never would have: amazing hot spots in industrial areas, wastewater treatment plants, and random parks. I seem imperious to heat, cold, hunger, and thirst. My mind quiets, focusing only on the present. I also feel a much deeper connection to nature, which I’ve long written about but always remained slightly distant from. Every bird I meet gives color and sound to the facts I once knew only from books. Birds I assumed lived far away — golden eagles, cranes — have all appeared within an hour of my house. People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as involvement with the true reality. I don’t need to know social media drama when I can spend an hour hunting for a rare bird. The choice is obvious. Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait. 4. What is paragraph 1 mainly about? A When the author became a birder. B. The author’s early interest in birding. C. An ideal destination for new birders. D. A memorable birding trip without tools. 5. What does the author emphasize in paragraph 3? A. Why new birders can never start from zero. B. How prior skills have aided his/ her birding. C. The difficulties of birding without guidance. D. The use of effective bird identification tools. 6 What does the underlined phrase “imperious to” mean in paragraph 5? A. extremely afraid of. B. Strongly opposed to. C. easily contented with. D. completely unaffected by. 7. What is the author’s main message? A. Birding is an escape from reality. B. Technology kills real experience. C. Simple joys like birding enrich life. D. Hobbies require a lot of knowledge. 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者讲述了自己从一名科学写作者转变为真正的观鸟爱好者的经历，强调了观鸟带来的乐趣、知识积累和对自然更深层次的连接，表达了作者对自然生活的热爱和对“真实现实”的追求。 【4题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“This was the first time I only watched birds.(这是我第一次只是单纯地观察鸟类)”以及第二段“I’ve always cared about birds and have written about them as a science writer, but the moment I decided with purpose to devote time and energy to bird- watching marked my transformation into a birder.(我一直对鸟类很感兴趣，并且作为一名科学作家也写过相关文章，但当我下定决心专门投入时间和精力去观察鸟类的时候，这标志着我正式成为了鸟类爱好者)”可知，整段的重点在于作者成为一名观鸟者的时间和契机。故选A。 5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I didn’t start from zero. My career spent writing about nature taught me about the habitats; journalism allowed me to quickly familiarize myself with new topics and new people. I crowdsourced tips on social media plat forms and went out with experienced birders.(我并非从零开始。我的职业生涯一直致力于关于自然的报道工作，这让我对各种栖息地有了深入的了解；而新闻工作则让我能够迅速熟悉新的主题和新的人物。我通过社交媒体平台收集相关建议，并与有经验的观鸟者一同外出观察)”可知，这些已有的技能如何支持了他的观鸟活动。故选B。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段“My mind quiets, focusing only on the present.(我的思绪平静下来，只专注于当下)”可推知，作者在观鸟时完全沉浸在当下，不受天气、饥渴等影响，由此可判断“impervious to”意为“完全不受……影响的”。故选D。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“People call birding an escape from reality. I reject that. Instead, I see it as engagement with the true reality.(人们把观鸟称作是对现实世界的逃离。但我却不这么认为。在我看来，观鸟其实是一种与真实世界紧密相连的体验)”和最后一段“Spring is coming. New birds will soon flood the Bay Area. I can’t wait.(春天就要来了。新的鸟类很快就会涌入旧金山湾区。我迫不及待地想要见到它们了)”可知，作者认为观鸟不是逃避现实，而是一种接触真实生活的方式，同时也表达了对自然的热爱和期待。因此，文章的主旨是强调像观鸟这样简单的爱好可以丰富我们的生活。故选C。 C Britain’s housing crisis has created a distinct generational divide. While older generations often own property, millions of young adults face increasing rents and unachievable homeownership. A recent official report warns that 630, 000 people under 35 may face homelessness in old age due to chronic shortages of affordable homes. This crisis originates from decades of policy failure. Since the mid-1990s, house prices have skyrocketed dramatically, widening the gap between property owners and others. Government projects like “Help-to-Buy” intended to assist first-time buyers instead inflated prices further, making housing less accessible. University graduates carry heavy debts from tuition fees exceeding £9, 000 annually since 2010, weakening their savings potential. The rental market offers little relief. Private renters have jumped from 2. 8 million to 4. 5 million households since 2007, with those aged 25-34 consisting of over a third. Yet renters face instability and exploitation. “No-fault drivings” allow landlords (房东) to end rentings without cause, while rents exceed wage growth. Even social housing renters experience widening inequality compared to homeowners. Policy responses are emerging but controversial. London Mayor Sadiq Khan proposed a landlord registry and rent control commission to regulate the private sector. Scotland has established “rent pressure zones” to stop increases. The Labour Party advocates abolishing no-fault drivings, arguing that secure right of habitation are essential for dignity. Ultimately, this is about intergenerational fairness. A functional society cannot thrive when younger citizens bear unreasonable burdens. As one analyst notes: “We depend on the young to sustain our future — denying them housing security damages everyone.” 8. What does the official report predict about young adults? A. Universal elderly poverty. B. Persistent renting difficulties. C. Long-term housing insecurity. D. Unachievable huge property. 9. What brings about the housing crisis? A. Stable rental market. B. Students’ reduced debt burden. C. Decades-long policy failure. D. Consistent policy responses. 10. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Young adults’ housing security should be guaranteed. B. Efforts should be made to create a sustainable society. C. The property of older generations should be passed on. D. The young should be responsible for intergenerational fairness. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Housing: Pricing out the Young? B. Policy: Regulating the Private Owners? C. Landlords: Forced to Accept Rent Hikes? D. Rental Control: Solving the Renter-landlord Conflicts? 【答案】8. C 9. C 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了英国住房危机造成代际分化，政策失败是根源，需保障年轻人住房安全。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A recent official report warns that 630, 000 people under 35 may face homelessness in old age due to chronic shortages of affordable homes.(一份最新的官方报告警告称，由于长期缺乏经济适用房，63万35岁以下的人可能在老年时面临无家可归的风险)”可知，官方报告预测年轻人将长期面临住房无保障的问题。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“This crisis originates from decades of policy failure.(这场危机源于几十年的政策失败)”可知，几十年的政策失败导致了住房危机。故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We depend on the young to sustain our future — denying them housing security damages everyone.(我们依靠年轻人来维持我们的未来——剥夺他们的住房安全会损害到每个人)”可知，年轻人的住房安全应该得到保障。故选A。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Britain’s housing crisis has created a distinct generational divide.(英国的住房危机造成了明显的代际分化)”可知，本文主要讲述了英国的住房危机造成了明显的代际分化，年轻人面临着租房难和买不起房的问题，因此选项A“住房：让年轻人望而却步？”适合作为文章标题。故选A。 D The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below. The primary advantage of the technology is that no trees need to be cleared for solar farms. As an added bonus, the water cools the panels, increasing their efficiency. Research shows that floatovoltaics on just a small share of global lakes and reservoirs could meet nearly a third of the US’s annual electricity demand. As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better siting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.” Most floatovoltaics are placed on reservoirs. When paired with the existing water power plants, the panels can generate additional daytime power. This combination can make up for seasonal drops in water or sunlight, ensuring a more stable yearly output. Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with. Would this bring risks or benefits? “Our customers have seen migrating (迁徙的) birds feeding and resting on the floats,” reports Chris Bachman of a leading floatovoltaics company. Ecological considerations get trickier where there are unforeseen knock-on effects. Experiments show that shading from panels can slow the growth of algae that fish eat and also reduce harmful algae, affecting the food chain. Floats can hide fish from birds that hunt them but may also serve as safe habitats for these birds. “We need to monitor for long periods to understand the big picture,” says freshwater ecologist Simpson Cardoso. Scientists and companies are discussing wider spacing between panels and avoiding construction during waterbirds’ sensitive periods, such as migration and nesting. “There can definitely be that kind of ecological balance,” says Stephens. 12. How does the author introduce floatovoltaics? A. By giving a technical definition. B. By explaining how they work. C. By relating them to a married couple. D. By describing a popular movie scene. 13. What is scientists’ major concern about floatovoltaics? A. Their influence on ecosystems and biodiversity. B. Their seasonal changes in power output. C. Their high cost of construction and maintenance. D. Their competition against traditional solar farms. 14. Why does the author quote Chris Bachman in paragraph 5? A. To provide evidence of customer satisfaction. B. To show a potential benefit of floatovoltaics. C. To note the complexity of ecological interactions. D. To draw attention to protecting migrating birds. 15. What are scientists focusing on? A. Conducting the application of wider panels. B. Developing smarter designs and practices. C. Proving the existence of ecological balance. D. Avoiding constructions on waterbird habitats. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一种将太阳能面板和水库结合的新兴技术——浮动光伏。但科学家也提醒应关注其对生态系统的潜在影响，以确保可再生能源的发展不会以破坏生物多样性为代价。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The newest, hottest power couple doesn’t live in Hollywood. It’s actually the marriage of solar panels and reservoirs (水库): Known as floatovoltaics, these devices on simple floats (浮体) generate power while shading the water below.(当下最炙手可热的“明星夫妻档”并非生活在好莱坞。实际上，它们是太阳能电池板与水库的结合体：这种被称为“浮式光伏”的装置安装在简单的浮体上，既能发电又能为下方的水域遮阳)”可知，作者通过将浮式光伏系统与一对已婚夫妇的情况进行关联介绍浮式光伏系统。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As floatovoltaic systems expand, with the market expected to grow 23% annually from 2025 to 2030, scientists are studying their impact on ecosystems. “We shouldn’t be expanding clean energy at the cost of biodiversity loss,” warns Elisa Stephens, a researcher at the University of California, Davis. “This is a great opportunity to increase our research and develop smart designs and better siting practices to have this happy marriage between a healthy, biodiverse ecosystem and renewable energy expansion.”(随着浮式光伏系统的不断推广，预计从 2025 年到 2030 年，该市场的年增长率将达到 23%。科学家们正在研究其对生态系统的潜在影响。加州大学戴维斯分校的研究员伊莉莎·斯蒂芬斯警告说：“我们不应以牺牲生物多样性为代价来扩大清洁能源的规模。”“这是一个绝佳的机会，让我们加大研究力度，开发智能设计和更合理的布局方式，以实现健康、多样化的生态系统与可再生能源扩张之间的和谐共生。”)”可知，生态平衡和生物多样性是主要关注点。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“Though artificial, reservoirs host lots of water life that floatovoltaics can interact with.

The bell’s ringing brought her out of her daydreaming. She nervously gathered her books, preparing to reach another classroom for the next new class. Lily followed the other kids and rushed into the hallway. Others walked in groups, chatted, and laughed, using the break to socialize. Lily, instead, walked alone along the wall of the hallway, with her head down. She was a shy girl, afraid to speak in front of other kids, and didn’t think others would like her. Lily finally sat in Mr. Johnson’s Language Arts class nervously. “Welcome to Language Arts,” said Mr. Johnson. He told jokes as he talked about English. Lily forgot to daydream and laughed along with the rest of the class. “We’ll have some fun with language,” he said. “Just wait and see.” Fun was far beyond what Lily desired. She just wanted to be like other kids—running with friends in the hallway, laughing and joking between classes. Reminded of her pimply (长粉刺的) face, she felt hopeless and disappointed. “Take out a piece of paper,” the teacher continued, when pointing at words on the blackboard. “Write for the next thirty minutes on this topic.” Lily began writing crazily as idea after idea fought for recognition in her head. The final result was a short story about a beautiful beach house. As she wrote, she could smell the salty air, hear the crashing waves and feel the pull of the sand beneath her feet. For just a moment, she forgot where she was. She was lost in the story. “OK, pass your papers forward,” said the teacher. “Let’s see what we have.” For the rest of the class time, the teacher read each individual work aloud. Lily originally thought it would be awkward. However, she was gradually attracted by the excitement in the teacher’s voice. “He’s actually enjoying this,” she thought. When the class would be soon over, there were still fifteen students’ papers not read, including Lily’s paper. Then, Mr. Johnson announced his decision, asking these students to read their work themselves in front of the class next class. 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。 Paragraph 1: A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version： A week later, the bell rang and the Language Arts class began again. Lily was nervous with her head down. After other students finished reading the papers one by one, finally, it was Lily’s turn. Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking. Seeing it, Mr. Johnson told a funny joke, which made all laugh. Feeling more relaxed, Lily began reading. She was so focused that she felt she was alone. She didn’t notice that her story soon attracted all her classmates who sat up straight, without any chatting. They were lost in her fantastic story. After Lily finished her reading, the clapping from her classmates continued for a long time. Lily was shocked. When she raised her head, she found everyone staring at her excitedly. Lily finally smiled. She found everyone in the class responded to her story positively. After that class, Lily slowly lifted her head while walking. Later, she kept writing. And she began speaking in front of people and enjoyed it. A braver and more confident girl appeared. And she was grateful to Mr. Johnson who believed in every student. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莉莉上中学的第一周非常紧张，害怕在其他孩子面前说话，也不认为别人会喜欢她。在语言艺术课上，莉莉写了一篇作文，被老师要求在下节课当着全班同学的面朗读自己的作业。莉莉最后克服了紧张，阅读了自己的文章，得到了大家的认可，莉莉也有了自信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，下课铃响了，语言艺术课又开始了”可知，第一段可描写莉莉在课上朗读作文的情况。 ②由第二段首句内容“莉莉念完后，同学们的掌声持续了很长时间”可知，第二段可描写莉莉得到了同学的认可，获得了自信。 2.续写线索：开始上课——紧张——老师开玩笑——感觉轻松——朗读——鼓掌——获得自信 3.词汇激活 行为类 结束：finish/complete 抬起：raise/lift 注意到：notice /take notice of 情绪类 感谢的：grateful /thankful 轻松的：relaxed /relieved 【点睛】[高分句型1] Frozen with fear, Lily stood in front of the class, with her hands holding her paper, shaking.
