Because of this, my brother took a wrong turn. Unluckily, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge toll (费) and drove on. He was clearly frustrated about the mistake and the needless waste of $4. We eventually reached an exit slip-way and, as we took it, my brother noticed a beat-up black Mustang pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench (扳手) to get it off. My brother gave him a wrench, and then offered to help him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man from a rough neighborhood nearby. He said this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us, “A breath of fresh air,” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge and took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” What struck me most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his irritation for the mistake into positive energy and managed to see a chance to help even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross. 4. What can we infer about the author’s brother?​ A. He always helps strangers in trouble on the road.​ B. He didn’t ignore others’ needs despite his frustration. C. He helped the young man mainly to cheer himself up.​ D. He felt less frustrated after seeing the young man’s flat tire.​ 5. Why did the young guy call the author and the brother “A breath of fresh air”? A. Because they rejected his money. B. Because they also got on that bridge. C. Because they offered a chance to serve D. Because they turned up when he needed help. 6 What does the underlined word “irritation” probably mean in the last paragraph? A. Fright. B. Annoyance. C. Excitement. D. Embarrassment. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A The Bridge We Were Meant To Cross. B. A Terrible Experience We Experienced. C. My Brother Who Took A Wrong Turn. D. A Young Guy We Were Grateful To. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者和哥哥开车时因专注交谈绕错路而误上桥，哥哥虽为粗心的错误和不必要的花费沮丧，仍帮路边爆胎的年轻人换胎，作者感慨哥哥将负面情绪转化为助人机会，称那桥是他们注定要过的。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“He was clearly frustrated about the mistake and the needless waste of $4. (他显然对这个错误和4美元的不必要浪费感到沮丧。)”、第三段“I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench (扳手) to get it off.(我正忙着想下一步该走哪条路，但我哥哥停下来问那家伙是否需要帮助。他的确需要。他爆胎了，需要扳手才能把它拆下来。)”以及第四段“My brother gave him a wrench, and then offered to help him change the flat. (我哥哥给了他一把扳手，然后主动提出帮他换备胎。)”可知，尽管作者的哥哥因绕路和不必要的花费而沮丧，但他仍没有忽视他人的需求，主动提供帮助。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“He had a flat tire and needed a wrench (扳手) to get it off.(他爆胎了，需要一把扳手才能把它拆下来。)”和第四段“But he called us, “A breath of fresh air,” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. (但他叫我们“一缕清风”，不停地感谢我们，因为如果我们不来，他真的会被困住的。)”可知，年轻人称他们为“一缕清风”，是因为在他需要帮助（爆胎被困）时，作者和哥哥恰好出现并提供了帮助。故选D项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“He was able to turn his irritation for the mistake into positive energy (他能够将自己对这个错误的irritation转化为正能量)”以及结合第二段“He was clearly frustrated about the mistake and the needless waste of $4. (他显然对这个错误和4美元的不必要浪费感到沮丧。)”可知，irritation应与frustrated语义相近，指因错误产生“烦恼”的情绪。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“My brother and I were driving home together and became absorbed in a conversation. Because of this, my brother took a wrong turn.(我和哥哥一起开车回家，全神贯注地交谈着。因此，我哥哥转错了弯。)”、第二段“Unluckily, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. (不幸的是，错误的转弯把我们带到了一座桥上，我们无法回头。)”以及最后一段“That was the bridge we were meant to cross. (那才是我们注定要过的桥。)”以及全文可知，作者和哥哥开车时因专注交谈绕错路误上桥，哥哥虽为错误和花费沮丧，仍帮路边爆胎的年轻人换胎，作者感慨哥哥将负面情绪转化为助人机会，称那桥是他们注定要过的。这里“桥”不仅指实际的桥，更象征哥哥因绕路遇到需要帮助的人，将粗心的错误转化为助人机会的“心灵之桥”。所以A项The Bridge We Were Meant To Cross(我们注定要过的桥)既包含实际场景，又点明文章主旨（粗心的错误带来的意外意义）。故选A项。 C A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been released to help many people deal with their anxiety when making a speech. Dr Chris Macdonald, who created the online platform, said the approach was an attempt to reduce the lengthy waits or high costs people often face when seeking help. The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform is based on the idea that facing fears directly can help reduce them. It is combined with breathing exercises and eye movements that help slow the heart rate and control the fear response. People using the technology can practice speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom or small audience of virtual figures who feel bored and sleepy, to a stadium of 10,000 viewers, with the option to add distractions such as flashing cameras and loud noises. A recent study suggests the platform could be beneficial. The research involved 29 volunteers from China, who each finished a 30-minute session in which they switched between using the VR system and practicing a simple breathing exercise. After that, they delivered a prepared one-minute speech in English to 34 people in real life. The percentage of students who said they were anxious public speakers fell from 65% before the experiment to 20% after the presentations, while the percentage who described themselves as confident rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform. But Cella, a psychologist and leader of the virtual reality lab at King’s College London, who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk that overdependence on the platform could increase people’s avoidance of public speaking. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address mental health challenges in our society. But unfortunately, many products like this platform have poor uptake (利用) and short lifespan due to the rapid development and limited evidence,” he said. “As with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to evaluate its real-world impact, how people use it, whether it truly improves confidence and reduces anxiety, and what unintended effects might arise.” 8. Who may find this platform useful? A. A graduate preparing for a job interview. B. A delivery driver taking a road safety test. C. A coach planning athletes’ training workouts. D. A programmer giving instructions to a computer. 9. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To offer advice on using VR. B. To explain the reason for exercise. C. To describe how the platform works. D. To show how to overcome speech anxiety. 10. What can we learn from the research? A. The number of users rose dramatically. B. The platform improved users’ English ability. C. The platform contributed to users’ presentation. D. The users practiced breathing exercise every day. 11. What’s Cella’s attitude to the platform? A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Supportive. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍一款虚拟现实公开演讲平台可帮助缓解演讲焦虑，研究显示有效，但专家认为需评估其实际影响及潜在风险。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been released to help many people deal with their anxiety when making a speech.(一个免费的在线平台已发布，允许演讲者在数千名虚拟观众面前练习，以帮助许多人应对演讲时的焦虑)”可知，该平台用于帮助人们缓解演讲焦虑。毕业生准备求职面试时需要演讲或展示，可能会感到焦虑，因此该平台对其有用。故选A。 【9题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第二段“The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform is based on the idea that facing fears directly can help reduce them.(虚拟现实公开演讲平台基于这样一种理念：直接面对恐惧有助于减轻恐惧)”及后文对平台结合呼吸练习、眼球运动以及提供多种虚拟场景的描述可知，该段主要介绍平台的工作原理。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“The percentage of students who said they were anxious public speakers fell from 65% before the experiment to 20% after the presentations, while the percentage who described themselves as confident rose from 31% to 79%.(表示自己有公开演讲焦虑的学生比例从实验前的65%降至演讲后的20%，而自称自信的学生比例从31%升至79%)”可知，该平台有助于提升使用者的演讲表现。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中Cella所说的话“There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address mental health challenges in our society. But unfortunately, many products like this platform have poor uptake (利用) and short lifespan due to the rapid development and limited evidence,(在我们的社会中，数字创新者们有很多热情和解决问题的精力来应对心理健康挑战。但不幸的是，由于发展迅速且证据有限，许多像这个平台这样的产品利用率低且寿命短)”以及“As with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to evaluate its real-world impact, how people use it, whether it truly improves confidence and reduces anxiety, and what unintended effects might arise.(与任何新兴技术一样，评估其实际影响、人们如何使用它、它是否真的能提高信心和减少焦虑，以及可能产生哪些意想不到的影响，这些都至关重要)”可知，Cella指出了平台存在的潜在问题和需要评估的方面，体现出他对该平台是担忧的。故选A。 D People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,” Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine when they should be being harvested.” Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction. In the worst situation, global food inflation (食品通胀) due to climate change goes over 4% per year by 2060. “We need to be aware of the fact that climate change brings huge new challenges for food security,” says Kotz. “Warming-fuelled extreme weather is increasingly affecting food production around the world. If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.” 12. What does the study focus on? A. The factors in the rising living costs. B. The impact of climate change on food prices. C. The effects of natural disasters on food production. D. The comparison of food prices in different regions. 13. How did researchers reach their conclusions? A. By analyzing a mass of data. B. By referring to previous studies. C. By tracking some cities for years. D. By conducting a survey among farmers. 14. What is the main reason for the rising food prices according to Kotz? A. Frequent rainfall. B. Extreme high temperature. C. The increasing demand for crops. D. The restrictions of trade policies. 15. What does the author intend to do in the last paragraph? A. To investigate how food prices change. B. To predict the loss caused by the heat wave. C. To urge farmers to adjust their practices. D. To clarify the situation of global food inflation. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了全球变暖导致气温上升对食品价格的影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. (为了弄清楚这是如何影响食品价格的，波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安·科茨和他的同事们研究了1996年至2021年间121个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据)”可知，研究重点是气候变化对食品价格的影响。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021.”(波茨坦气候影响研究所的马克西米利安・科茨和他的同事们研究了 1996 年至 2021 年间 121 个国家的月度价格和天气状况数据)”可知，研究人员是通过分析大量数据得出结论的。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The study didn’t look at why prices rose, but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,” Kotz says. (科茨说：“这项研究没有探讨价格上涨的原因，但可能的解释是，极端高温正在降低产量”)”可知，科茨认为食品价格上涨的主要原因是极端高温。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 “If farmers don’t adapt their practices to better cope with rising temperatures, the losses will become more serious.(如果农民不调整他们的做法以更好地应对不断上升的气温，损失将会更加严重)”可推知，作者在最后一段意在敦促农民调整他们的做法。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 Humor: An Essential Life Skill Mark Twain said, “Humor is the great thing, the saving thing.

One rainy afternoon while she was browsing at the local bookstore, a colorful magazine about climate change attracted her attention. As she was looking through the pages, one particular article stood out. Its writing was so clear, powerful and well-organized that she immediately decided to buy the magazine, thinking it might provide helpful references (参考) for future school projects. When the deadline for her English essay arrived, Anne found herself completely unprepared. The topic of the composition “Environmental Protection Today” seemed quite difficult. After staring at a blank page for nearly an hour, her frustration (沮丧) growing with each passing minute, she suddenly remembered the magazine. With shaky hands, she pulled it out from her desk drawer and began copying several key paragraphs, changing just a few words here and there to make it seem different. “It’s just for reference.” she thought to herself nervously, but deep down she knew it was wrong. The next week, Mrs. White held up Anne’s essay to the whole class. “This is an outstanding essay!” the teacher said excitedly. Anne’s heart beat fast as she heard words like “original thinking” and “excellent analysis”. Each compliment (赞美) made her feel more ashamed. Then came the worst part-Mrs. White wanted to send Anne’s essay in an important writing competition. Anne imagined all the possibilities. The magazine wasn’t well-known, so perhaps no one would ever notice the copied sections. But even if no one knew it, could she keep this secret in her heart? At lunch in the crowded cafeteria, her best friend Sarah rushed over and hugged her tightly. “I just heard about your essay! I’m so proud of you!” Sarah shouted excitedly, her eyes shining with true admiration. Seeing how Sarah believed in her writing talent so much, Anne suddenly realized that she wasn’t just lying to her teacher — she was lying to everyone who trusted her. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After a few minutes of silence, she whispered to Sarah, “I need to tell you something.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sarah held Anne’s hand tightly and walked towards Mrs. White’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 After a few minutes of silence, she whispered to Sarah, “I need to tell you something.” Her voice trembled as she admitted copying parts of the essay, her cheeks turning red with shame. Sarah’s eyes widened in surprise at first, but then she gave Anne’s shoulder a comforting pat. “It takes courage to admit mistakes,” Sarah said firmly. “Let’s go to tell Mrs. White together.” With Sarah’s support, Anne carefully wrote a sincere apology letter, explaining exactly what she had done wrong and promising to make up for it with her own hard work. Sarah held Anne’s hand tightly as they walked towards Mrs. White’s office. Anne’s palms were sweaty and her heart raced, but she kept walking. When Mrs. White read the letter, her serious expression gradually softened. “I appreciate your honesty,” she said finally. “Everyone makes mistakes, but only brave people correct them.” That evening, Anne stayed up late rewriting her essay completely on her own. Though the new version wasn’t as perfect as the copied one, it was truly hers. As she handed it in the next day, Anne realized that being honest might be difficult, but it always leaves you feeling lighter and prouder. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Anne的抄袭事件为线索展开，讲述了她因一时冲动抄袭杂志内容完成英语论文，受到老师表扬后内心备受煎熬，最终在好友Sarah的鼓励下勇敢承认错误并重新完成论文的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句“沉默了几分钟后，她小声对Sarah说：‘我有件事要告诉你。’”可知，第一段可描写Anne向Sarah坦白自己抄袭的事实，以及Sarah的反应和给予的支持。 ②由第二段首句“Sarah紧紧握住Anne的手，朝White老师的办公室走去。”可知，第二段可描写Anne向White老师承认错误，老师的态度以及Anne之后的行动和感悟。 2.续写线索：Anne坦白抄袭——Sarah朋友支持——向老师认错——White老师谅解——Anne重写作文——感悟诚实 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①一起去：go together/walk towards ②承认错误：admit mistakes/confess the truth ③重写论文：rewrite the essay/complete a new version 情绪类 ①羞愧：with shame/feeling ashamed ②坚定：firmly/with determination 【点睛】【高分句型1】Her voice trembled as she admitted copying parts of the essay, her cheeks turning red with shame.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句，独立主格结构her cheeks turning red with shame作伴随状语） 【高分句型2】Though the new version wasn’t as perfect as the copied one, it was truly hers.（运用了though引导的让步状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 泸县二中高2027届2025年秋期第一学月考试 英 语 试 题 （考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1. 答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、班级、考号填写在答题卷上相应位置。 2. 选择题答案使用2B铅笔填涂在答题卷对应题目号的位置上，填涂在试卷上无效。 3. 非选择题答案使用黑色签字笔填写在答题卷对应题目号的位置，填写在试卷上无效。 第I卷 选择题部分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分 30 分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

B My brother and I were driving home together and became absorbed in a conversation. Because of this, my brother took a wrong turn. Unluckily, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my brother paid the bridge toll (费) and drove on. He was clearly frustrated about the mistake and the needless waste of $4. We eventually reached an exit slip-way and, as we took it, my brother noticed a beat-up black Mustang pulled over to the side of the road. A young guy was standing nearby trying to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out which way we went next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a wrench (扳手) to get it off. My brother gave him a wrench, and then offered to help him change the flat. We started getting to know the young man from a rough neighborhood nearby. He said this has been a bad week for him; earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his way home from work. But he called us, “A breath of fresh air,” and kept thanking us because he really would have been stuck if we hadn’t come along. After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 and tried to give it to us. “No,” I said. “We were never supposed to even get on that bridge and took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to serve.” What struck me most was watching my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his irritation for the mistake into positive energy and managed to see a chance to help even in an otherwise negative situation, which can only come from a calm mind and an open heart. That was the bridge we were meant to cross. 4. What can we infer about the author’s brother?​ A. He always helps strangers in trouble on the road.​ B.

Excitement. D. Embarrassment. 7. Which is the best title for the text? A. The Bridge We Were Meant To Cross. B. A Terrible Experience We Experienced. C. My Brother Who Took A Wrong Turn. D. A Young Guy We Were Grateful To. C A free online platform that allows speakers to practice in front of thousands of virtual audience has been released to help many people deal with their anxiety when making a speech. Dr Chris Macdonald, who created the online platform, said the approach was an attempt to reduce the lengthy waits or high costs people often face when seeking help. The Virtual Reality Public Speaking platform is based on the idea that facing fears directly can help reduce them. It is combined with breathing exercises and eye movements that help slow the heart rate and control the fear response. People using the technology can practice speaking in various virtual reality (VR) settings, from an empty classroom or small audience of virtual figures who feel bored and sleepy, to a stadium of 10,000 viewers, with the option to add distractions such as flashing cameras and loud noises. A recent study suggests the platform could be beneficial. The research involved 29 volunteers from China, who each finished a 30-minute session in which they switched between using the VR system and practicing a simple breathing exercise. After that, they delivered a prepared one-minute speech in English to 34 people in real life. The percentage of students who said they were anxious public speakers fell from 65% before the experiment to 20% after the presentations, while the percentage who described themselves as confident rose from 31% to 79%. More students said they enjoyed public speaking after using the platform. But Cella, a psychologist and leader of the virtual reality lab at King’s College London, who was not involved in the work, said there was a potential risk that overdependence on the platform could increase people’s avoidance of public speaking. “There is a lot of enthusiasm and problem-solving energy from digital innovators to address mental health challenges in our society. But unfortunately, many products like this platform have poor uptake (利用) and short lifespan due to the rapid development and limited evidence,” he said. “As with any emerging technology, it’s crucial to evaluate its real-world impact, how people use it, whether it truly improves confidence and reduces anxiety, and what unintended effects might arise.” 8. Who may find this platform useful? A. A graduate preparing for a job interview. B. A delivery driver taking a road safety test. C. A coach planning athletes’ training workouts. D. A programmer giving instructions to a computer. 9. What’s the main purpose of Paragraph 2? A. To offer advice on using VR. B. To explain the reason for exercise. C. To describe how the platform works. D. To show how to overcome speech anxiety. 10. What can we learn from the research? A. The number of users rose dramatically. B. The platform improved users’ English ability. C. The platform contributed to users’ presentation. D. The users practiced breathing exercise every day. 11. What’s Cella’s attitude to the platform? A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Unclear. D. Supportive. D People are already paying more and more for food due to global warming — and rising temperatures will drive food prices a lot higher in the next decade. According to a study by the European Central Bank, by 2035, higher temperatures alone will be pushing up worldwide food prices by between 0.9% and 3.2% every single year. To find out how this is affecting food prices, Maximilian Kotz at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research and his colleagues examined data on the monthly prices and weather conditions in 121 countries between 1996 and 2021. By looking for associations between food prices and factors such as the average monthly temperature, temperature changes, and measures of drought and extreme rainfall, they found a strong link between the average temperature and the food prices a month or so later. In regions north of 40 degrees, like the latitude (纬度) of New York City and Beijing, warmer-than-average temperatures during winter led to falling food prices. But above-average temperatures increased food prices in summer and at all times in the rest of the world. “The study didn’t look at why prices rose but the likely explanation is that extreme heat is reducing yields,” Kotz says. “Crops may be drying out on the vine when they should be being harvested.” Factors such as extreme rainfall had less impact on food prices than average temperatures. This may be because flooding tends to be localized, while above-average temperatures can be very widespread. Other studies have reached similar conclusions. Kotz’s team then went further by investigating how food prices could change based on average temperature rises in climate model prediction.

One rainy afternoon while she was browsing at the local bookstore, a colorful magazine about climate change attracted her attention. As she was looking through the pages, one particular article stood out. Its writing was so clear, powerful and well-organized that she immediately decided to buy the magazine, thinking it might provide helpful references (参考) for future school projects. When the deadline for her English essay arrived Anne found herself completely unprepared. The topic of the composition “Environmental Protection Today” seemed quite difficult. After staring at a blank page for nearly an hour, her frustration (沮丧) growing with each passing minute, she suddenly remembered the magazine. With shaky hands, she pulled it out from her desk drawer and began copying several key paragraphs, changing just a few words here and there to make it seem different. “It’s just for reference.” she thought to herself nervously, but deep down she knew it was wrong. The next week, Mrs. White held up Anne’s essay to the whole class. “This is an outstanding essay!” the teacher said excitedly. Anne’s heart beat fast as she heard words like “original thinking” and “excellent analysis”. Each compliment (赞美) made her feel more ashamed. Then came the worst part-Mrs. White wanted to send Anne’s essay in an important writing competition. Anne imagined all the possibilities. The magazine wasn’t well-known, so perhaps no one would ever notice the copied sections. But even if no one knew it, could she keep this secret in her heart? At lunch in the crowded cafeteria, her best friend Sarah rushed over and hugged her tightly. “I just heard about your essay! I’m so proud of you!” Sarah shouted excitedly, her eyes shining with true admiration. Seeing how Sarah believed in her writing talent so much, Anne suddenly realized that she wasn’t just lying to her teacher — she was lying to everyone who trusted her. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 After a few minutes of silence, she whispered to Sarah, “I need to tell you something.” ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Sarah held Anne’s hand tightly and walked towards Mrs. White’s office. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
