Sports are not a modern invention. People around the world have enjoyed exciting and meaningful sports since ancient times. Here are some examples of ancient sports from different cultures.
Egyptian Pharaohs’ Running Race
In ancient Egypt, kings demonstrated their physical strength by running during the Sed Festival. This special event took place after a king had ruled for 30 years. For example, Pharaoh Djoser ran around the temple for a long time to prove he was still healthy and strong.
Minoan Bull-Leaping
The Minoan people created a very dangerous sport called bull-leaping. In this event, athletes would run directly at a charging bull, grab its horns (角) and leap over its back. Wall paintings from the Palace of Knossos show these exciting scenes.
Mesopotamian Wrestling
Ancient Mesopotamians practiced wrestling and boxing. Stone carvings show strong fighters wearing skirts during matches. These matches were intense, with fighters wrestling like wild animals.
Ancient Chinese Archery (射箭)
In the Zhou Dynasty’s royal education, archery was a required skill for men. Competitions, called “sheyi”, were held with strict rules and ceremonies. To win, a person needed both physical skill and qualities such as grace, self-control and respect. These contests often took place in temples and served to promote moral values and social order.
Although ancient sports varied widely in form and intent, they universally highlighted the value of skill. Beyond mere competition, these activities were deeply integrated into their societies, reflecting cultural beliefs and shaping a sense of community.

With its rolling hills, dramatic waterfalls, and rich woodlands, the Durham Dales in England provides a natural habitat for birds — and it’s also home to zoologist and artist Sara Cox. Surrounded by nature since childhood, she has always been passionate about birds. Today, she creates detailed bird sculptures made from fine metal wire, combining scientific knowledge with artistic creativity to raise awareness about the challenges facing bird populations and to inspire people to care for them.
As a child, Sara spent much of her time outdoors with her brothers — exploring the garden or walking in the countryside. These early experiences helped her develop a deep appreciation for the natural world. At the same time, creativity was a strong presence in her home: her father, an engineer, enjoyed welding (焊接) and building, while her mother made pottery in her spare time. Their hands-on skills and artistic sensibility gave Sara both technical and creative foundations. Later, when she moved to Mickleton 20 years ago, the surrounding wildlife became a powerful source of inspiration. Observing birds up close in their natural habitat helped her find her own artistic voice and connect her love of nature with sculpture.
Sara’s wire bird sculptures are the result of careful observation and detailed study. She will sit outside for hours, sketching and observing their movements — right down to how their muscles work and how they shift their weight. She also visits museums to study bird skeletons (骨架) so she can understand the structure beneath the feathers. “To sculpt a bird accurately, I need to know what’s underneath,” she explains.
Her sculptures have been shown in national exhibitions, including one held by the Royal Society of British Artists in London. They can also be seen along nature trails (小径), such as at the Durham Wildlife Trust’s Low Barns reserve. Whether displayed in galleries or out in the wild, her work has been praised by museums, galleries, and wildlife trusts alike for its scientific accuracy, emotional impact, and ability to encourage greater appreciation for bird species.
4. Why did Sara Cox create bird sculptures?
A. To promote her hometown. B. To display her artistic talent.
C. To inspire conservation efforts. D. To support scientific research.
5. Which experience most helped Sara Cox develop her artistic voice?
A. Trying different art techniques. B. Having close contact with birds.
C. Growing up in a creative family. D. Exploring nature with her brothers.
6. Which words can best describe Sara?
A. Patient and precise. B. Curious and brave.
C. Confident and proud. D. Creative and humorous.
7 Why is the Royal Society of British Artists mentioned in the last paragraph?
A To illustrate the UK’s top art institutions. B. To contrast national and local art scenes.
C. To explain the further study Sara pursued. D. To highlight the recognition Sara received.
C
It’s a familiar scene: You assure your parents you’ll leave for school in “just five minutes”, or confidently plan to memorize 50 words in an hour. Yet reality hits. You’re ten minutes late, breathless at the classroom’s front door. And of the fifty words? You managed barely twenty. So why do we keep misjudging time so badly?
You’re not alone, and you’re not simply bad at planning. Most of us suffer from what is called the planning fallacy (谬误) , a concept introduced by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It describes how we consistently underestimate the time to complete a task, often accompanied by a failure to account for effort and risk, even if it contradicts our experiences.
This happens because people tend to imagine the ideal situation and omit real-world challenges. Imagine trying to finish a math worksheet before evening study session. You picture yourself focused and finishing it in thirty minutes. But reality is different. You get stuck on a tough problem, look for your textbook, and check your phone "just once", and suddenly an hour has passed. Before you know it, you’re rushing to complete the work, feeling stressed, and worried about how others will perceive your delay.
So, what can you do? First, instead of thinking about the task, use data. Ask: how long did similar tasks take last time—not just the writing, but the thinking, searching, revising? Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one. It’s easier to estimate “answer the first three multiple-choice questions” than “finish biology homework”. Third, don’t just add a fixed number to your estimate; adjust by percentages because larger tasks scale differently. A 10-minute task might need 5 extra minutes while a 2-hour task might need 30.
The next time you catch yourself thinking “this will just take a few minutes”, pause for a moment and remind yourself of the planning fallacy. The goal is, however, not to become pessimistic about your capabilities, but to become realistic about the complexities of the real world. Your future self will thank you.
8. What phenomenon does the planning fallacy mainly describe?
A. Anxiety over future plans. B. Frequent mistakes in daily life.
C. Misjudgment about task duration. D. Failure to reflect on past experiences.
9. What does the underlined word “omit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A Meet. B. Accept. C. Handle. D. Ignore.
10. Which of the following is a solution to the planning fallacy?
A. Dividing a project into smaller parts.
B. Doing more research before acting.
C Adding at least five more minutes to a task.
D. Following the same time estimate as before.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Perfectionism Fools Us B. Closing the Planning Gap
C. Why Realism Is So Important D. Breaking the Deadline Cycle
D
While players train hard for the FIFA World Cup, experts also work behind the scenes to design the perfect match ball. The 2026 World Cup ball is named Trionda, meaning “three waves” in Spanish, which celebrates the three host nations—the U.S., Mexico and Canada. What really makes the Trionda unique is its design. It consists of only four panels, the smallest number in World Cup history. This is a significant change from the 20-paneled ball used in 2022.
The design of a soccer ball is based on 3D shapes called platonic solids (柏拉图立体) . The classic Telstar ball, used in 1970, comes from the icosahedron with 20 triangle (三角) faces. By cutting off its corners, designers turned it into a rounder ball.
Tetrahedron Hexahedron (cube) Octahedron Dodecahedron Icosahedron
Platonic Solids
The 2026 Trionda ball is based on a tetrahedron, which seems the least ball-like. The trick is in the panels: their edges are curves (曲线) that fit together to form a round shape. This design idea also appeared in the Brazuca ball from 2014, which was based on a cube.
Basing the Trionda on a tetrahedron might be a risky choice, since the last match ball based on that shape was widely criticized. That was the Jabulani from 2010, which combined cutting off a tetrahedron’s corners to make eight faces and turning their edges into curves. Despite its roundest shape, players complained it was unpredictable in the air.
So why didn’t the Jabulani work as intended? When a ball flies through the air, it faces a force called drag, which slows it down. Normally, drag becomes smaller after the ball reaches a certain speed. But if the ball is too smooth, this “critical speed” becomes very high, and the ball may fly in strange ways. That is why golf balls have tiny holes—to reduce drag and make their movement more stable.
To minimize drag, experts designed Trionda with small holes and special seams (线缝). This makes its surface less smooth and the ball easier for players to control during a match.
12. Why is the Trionda ball special?
A. It has the smallest size. B. It uses the fewest panels.
C. It is designed by three hosts. D. It is named after a Spanish man.
13. What can we learn about the design of the Trionda ball?
A. It’s adapted from the classic Telstar ball.
B. It shares the same shape with the Brazuca.
C. It’s made round by a curved-edged tetrahedron.
D. It involves cutting the corners of an icosahedron.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The challenge of the Trionda’s design.
B. The training strategy for soccer players.
C. The physical risk of playing ball games.
D. The science behind the Jabulani’s problem.
15. How did experts improve the Trionda ball’s performance?
A. By roughening its surface. B. By controlling its speed.
C. By changing its materials. D. By minimizing its weight.
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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In writing, a stereotype (刻板印象) is an oversimplified and widely accepted idea about a type of person, group, or situation. Stereotypes are easy answers that may seem useful. ____16____ Here are three key areas you can work on to go beyond stereotypes:
Character Development: Go Beyond First Impressions
____17____ A stereotype turns a character into a simple type — like the “shy book lover” or the “angry sports player”. To make your characters more realistic and memorable, you might add surprising twists (转折) — a book lover who enjoys risky sports, or an athlete who writes poems.
Plot Structure: Avoid Predictable Storylines
We see the same old plots again and again: the chosen one and the perfect happy ending. ____18____ Try going against expectations: maybe the chosen one fails, or the happy ending comes with unexpected costs. Readers appreciate fresh takes on familiar situations.
Descriptive Writing: Show, Don’t Tell Emotions
Simple labels like “she was nervous” can describe a feeling but often make a character seem dull and cliched (陈词滥调的). Instead, bring emotions to life through details, such as “her fingers twisted, and her breath was short and uneven”. This technique makes emotions come alive and relatable. ____19____
Last but not least, avoiding stereotypes doesn’t mean writing something unrealistic. Even the most imaginative twists lose power if they violate basic logic. ____20____ The most memorable stories are those that find new ways to express universal truths.
A. Aim to surprise, but stay grounded.
B. Such stories follow overly familiar paths.
C. However, they often take away a story’s depth.
D. Therefore, they serve as a powerful tool in writing.
E. By doing so, you let readers feel rather than just read it.
F. Real people are complex, so your creations should be too.
G. After all, most readers prefer plots that are easy to follow.

The next year, my daily practice began to pay off. My game experience now helped me ____31____ what made characters appealing, allowing me to create better ____32____ ones. By graduation, my carefully collected artwork earned me a design school scholarship.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Little Notes
Once again, I headed out to look for a job. Although I wasn’t very confident about the interview, I still held my head high, trying to stay hopeful under the morning sun. Before leaving, I made sure to stick a note on the fridge that read, “Son, finish your breakfast and have a good day.” Then I walked out of the door.
This quiet tradition came from my father. I still remember how, before every trip, he would leave a note on my desk: “I’ll come back with gifts for you.” When I stayed up late studying, I would open my pencil box and find another note inside: “Go to bed and have a good dream.” During summer camp, I would find a little note in my pocket that said, “Take care of yourself.” Those small pieces of paper were my first understanding of love — a gentle way of reminding me that someone always cared.
Years later, when my own son Jack was old enough to read, I continued the tradition. I left little notes throughout his life: “You are smarter than you think” in his math book, “Son, my little sun” on his bedroom door, and “Good luck at soccer” inside his shoe. He never said anything about them, but he became a happy, brave, and kind boy. That was enough for me.
Then came the hardest winter of my life. My company cut our pay, and people began whispering about who might lose their jobs. I worked every day with a heavy heart, always anxious, but in the end, I was still told to leave. It was a huge shock — but things got even harder. My husband lost his job too and had to move to another city to find work. I didn’t have time to feel sad. I needed to find a new job quickly to support our family.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150个左右;
2. 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
That evening, after another long, unsuccessful day, I came home exhausted.

Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one. It’s easier to estimate “answer the first three multiple-choice questions” than “finish biology homework”. Third, don’t just add a fixed number to your estimate; adjust by percentages because larger tasks scale differently. A 10-minute task might need 5 extra minutes while a 2-hour task might need 30.
The next time you catch yourself thinking “this will just take a few minutes”, pause for a moment and remind yourself of the planning fallacy. The goal is, however, not to become pessimistic about your capabilities, but to become realistic about the complexities of the real world. Your future self will thank you.
8. What phenomenon does the planning fallacy mainly describe?
A. Anxiety over future plans. B. Frequent mistakes in daily life.
C. Misjudgment about task duration. D. Failure to reflect on past experiences.
9. What does the underlined word “omit” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Meet. B. Accept. C. Handle. D. Ignore.
10. Which of the following is a solution to the planning fallacy?
A. Dividing a project into smaller parts.
B. Doing more research before acting.
C. Adding at least five more minutes to a task.
D. Following the same time estimate as before.
11. What is the best title for the text?
A. How Perfectionism Fools Us B. Closing the Planning Gap
C. Why Realism Is So Important D. Breaking the Deadline Cycle
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了“计划谬误”——人们往往会低估自己完成任务所需的时间。通过描述典型现象、心理原因以及三条实用建议,作者帮助读者改善时间管理,强调“现实规划”胜过“乐观假设”。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“It describes how we consistently underestimate the time to complete a task, often accompanied by a failure to account for effort and risk, even if it contradicts our experiences.(描述了我们如何总是低估完成一项任务的时间,通常伴随着未能考虑到努力和风险,即使这与我们的经验相矛盾。)”可知,计划谬误主要描述的现象是对任务持续时间判断错误。故选C。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段“people tend to imagine the ideal situation(人们倾向于想象理想的情况)”和“real-world challenges(现实世界的挑战)”可知,划线词所在句子表示“人们倾向于设想理想状态,从而忽略了现实问题”,划线词omit的意思是“忽略”,和ignore意思相近。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one.(第二,将大目标分解成更容易预测的小步骤,并估计每个步骤的持续时间。)”可知,解决计划谬误的方法是把一个项目分成更小的部分。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第二段“Most of us suffer from what is called the planning fallacy (谬误) , a concept introduced by psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky. It describes how we consistently underestimate the time to complete a task, often accompanied by a failure to account for effort and risk, even if it contradicts our experiences.(我们大多数人都患有所谓的计划谬误,这是心理学家Daniel Kahneman和Amos Tversky提出的概念。它描述了我们如何总是低估完成一项任务的时间,通常伴随着未能考虑到努力和风险,即使这与我们的经验相矛盾。)”和倒数第二段“First, instead of thinking about the task, use data.(首先,不要考虑任务,而是使用数据。)”,“Second, break big goals into small, more predictable steps and estimate the duration of each one.(第二,将大目标分解成更容易预测的小步骤,并估计每个步骤的持续时间。)”和“Third, don’t just add a fixed number to your estimate; adjust by percentages because larger tasks scale differently.(第三,不要只是在你的估算中添加一个固定的数字;按百分比调整,因为更大的任务规模不同。)”可知,本文主要讲的是“计划谬误”(Planning Fallacy)这一心理现象,即人们常常低估完成任务所需的时间,忽视实际努力和潜在风险,导致时间管理失误以及解决办法,因此最好的题目是B选项“Closing the Planning Gap(缩小规划差距)”。故选B。
D
While players train hard for the FIFA World Cup, experts also work behind the scenes to design the perfect match ball. The 2026 World Cup ball is named Trionda, meaning “three waves” in Spanish, which celebrates the three host nations—the U.S., Mexico and Canada. What really makes the Trionda unique is its design. It consists of only four panels, the smallest number in World Cup history. This is a significant change from the 20-paneled ball used in 2022.
The design of a soccer ball is based on 3D shapes called platonic solids (柏拉图立体) . The classic Telstar ball, used in 1970, comes from the icosahedron with 20 triangle (三角) faces. By cutting off its corners, designers turned it into a rounder ball.
Tetrahedron Hexahedron (cube) Octahedron Dodecahedron Icosahedron
Platonic Solids
The 2026 Trionda ball is based on a tetrahedron, which seems the least ball-like. The trick is in the panels: their edges are curves (曲线) that fit together to form a round shape. This design idea also appeared in the Brazuca ball from 2014, which was based on a cube.
Basing the Trionda on a tetrahedron might be a risky choice, since the last match ball based on that shape was widely criticized. That was the Jabulani from 2010, which combined cutting off a tetrahedron’s corners to make eight faces and turning their edges into curves. Despite its roundest shape, players complained it was unpredictable in the air.
So why didn’t the Jabulani work as intended? When a ball flies through the air, it faces a force called drag, which slows it down. Normally, drag becomes smaller after the ball reaches a certain speed. But if the ball is too smooth, this “critical speed” becomes very high, and the ball may fly in strange ways. That is why golf balls have tiny holes—to reduce drag and make their movement more stable.
To minimize drag, experts designed Trionda with small holes and special seams (线缝). This makes its surface less smooth and the ball easier for players to control during a match.
12. Why is the Trionda ball special?
A. It has the smallest size. B. It uses the fewest panels.
C. It is designed by three hosts. D. It is named after a Spanish man.
13. What can we learn about the design of the Trionda ball?
A. It’s adapted from the classic Telstar ball.
B. It shares the same shape with the Brazuca.
C. It’s made round by a curved-edged tetrahedron.
D. It involves cutting the corners of an icosahedron.
14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about?
A. The challenge of the Trionda’s design.
B. The training strategy for soccer players.
C. The physical risk of playing ball games.
D. The science behind the Jabulani’s problem.
15. How did experts improve the Trionda ball’s performance?
A. By roughening its surface. B. By controlling its speed.
C. By changing its materials. D. By minimizing its weight.
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了2026年世界杯用球Trionda的设计创新——从以四面体为基础构型、由最少面板构成、到运用独特的表面设计减小空气阻力。文中还提到了历史用球Jabulani的问题,以及Trionda如何通过科技手段在此基础上提升其稳定性与可控性。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“What really makes the Trionda unique is its design. It consists of only four panels, the smallest number in World Cup history.(真正让Trionda球与众不同的是它的设计。它只由四块球皮组成,这是世界杯历史上球皮数量最少的。)”可知,Trionda球的特别之处在于它仅由4块面板组成,是世界杯历史上面板数量最少的。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The 2026 Trionda ball is based on a tetrahedron, which seems the least ball-like. The trick is in the panels: their edges are curves (曲线) that fit together to form a round shape.(2026年的Trionda球以四面体为设计基础,而四面体看起来最不像球体。关键在于面板:它们的边缘是曲线,拼接在一起就能形成圆形。)”可知,面板边缘的曲线设计能使Trionda呈圆形。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段“So why didn’t the Jabulani work as intended? When a ball flies through the air, it faces a force called drag, which slows it down. Normally, drag becomes smaller after the ball reaches a certain speed. But if the ball is too smooth, this “critical speed” becomes very high, and the ball may fly in strange ways. That is why golf balls have tiny holes—to reduce drag and make their movement more stable.(那么,为何Jabulani球未能达到预期效果呢?当球在空中飞行时,会受到一种名为“空气阻力”的力,这种力会使球减速。通常情况下,当球达到特定速度后,空气阻力会随之减小。但如果球体表面过于光滑,这个“临界速度”会变得极高,导致足球可能出现不规则的飞行轨迹。这正是高尔夫球表面会带有微小凹痕的原因 —— 目的是减小空气阻力,让球的飞行轨迹更稳定。)”可知,第五段主要围绕Jabulani未能达到预期效果背后的科学原理展开。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段“To minimize drag, experts designed Trionda with small holes and special seams (线缝). This makes its surface less smooth and the ball easier for players to control during a match.(为了将阻力降到最低,专家们为Trionda球设计了小孔和特殊接缝。这使得球的表面不那么光滑,球员在比赛中更容易控制球。)”可知,专家们通过使球体表面拥有恰当的粗糙度来改善其性能。故选A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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In writing, a stereotype (刻板印象) is an oversimplified and widely accepted idea about a type of person, group, or situation. Stereotypes are easy answers that may seem useful. ____16____ Here are three key areas you can work on to go beyond stereotypes:
Character Development: Go Beyond First Impressions
____17____ A stereotype turns a character into a simple type — like the “shy book lover” or the “angry sports player”. To make your characters more realistic and memorable, you might add surprising twists (转折) — a book lover who enjoys risky sports, or an athlete who writes poems.
Plot Structure: Avoid Predictable Storylines
We see the same old plots again and again: the chosen one and the perfect happy ending. ____18____ Try going against expectations: maybe the chosen one fails, or the happy ending comes with unexpected costs. Readers appreciate fresh takes on familiar situations.
Descriptive Writing: Show, Don’t Tell Emotions
Simple labels like “she was nervous” can describe a feeling but often make a character seem dull and cliched (陈词滥调的). Instead, bring emotions to life through details, such as “her fingers twisted, and her breath was short and uneven”. This technique makes emotions come alive and relatable. ____19____
Last but not least, avoiding stereotypes doesn’t mean writing something unrealistic. Even the most imaginative twists lose power if they violate basic logic. ____20____ The most memorable stories are those that find new ways to express universal truths.
A. Aim to surprise, but stay grounded.
B. Such stories follow overly familiar paths.
C. However, they often take away a story’s depth.
D. Therefore, they serve as a powerful tool in writing.
E. By doing so, you let readers feel rather than just read it.
F. Real people are complex, so your creations should be too.
G. After all, most readers prefer plots that are easy to follow.
【答案】16. C 17. F 18. B 19. E 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章聚焦写作中如何突破刻板印象(stereotype),分别从角色塑造、情节构建和情感表达三方面提出具体建议。文章还强调要创造更真实、有层次的文学作品,同时提醒大家避免脱离现实逻辑的反转情节。
【16题详解】
根据上文“Stereotypes are easy answers that may seem useful.(刻板印象就是那些看似有用的简单答案)”以及后文“Here are three key areas you can work on to go beyond stereotypes(以下是你可以着力改进的三个关键方面,从而打破刻板印象)”可知,此处需转折说明其弊端。选项C通过“However”承接上文并指出“刻板印象会削弱故事深度”,从而引出主题“如何避免刻板印象”。故选C。
17题详解】
根据后文“A stereotype turns a character into a simple type — like the “shy book lover” or the “angry sports player”. To make your characters more realistic and memorable, you might add surprising twists (转折) — a book lover who enjoys risky sports, or an athlete who writes poems.(刻板印象会将人物简化为单一的类型——比如“害羞的书迷”或者“脾气暴躁的运动员”。为了使你的角色更加真实且令人难忘,你可以加入一些出人意料的转折——比如一个喜欢冒险运动的书迷,或者一个会写诗的运动员)”可知,本段讨论如何打破对人物的简化印象,需用一句引导句统领整个段落。选项F指出“真实的人物具有复杂性”,紧扣主题“Go Beyond First Impressions”,承上启下,符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据上文“We see the same old plots again and again: the chosen one and the perfect happy ending.(我们总是能看到那些老套的情节:那个被选中的主角以及完美的圆满结局)”可知,本段讲述套路化情节。选项B指出“这类故事情节过于老套”,准确评价并自然引出“Try going against expectations”。故选B。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Simple labels like “she was nervous” can describe a feeling but often make a character seem dull and cliched (陈词滥调的). Instead, bring emotions to life through details, such as “her fingers twisted, and her breath was short and uneven”. This technique makes emotions come alive and relatable.(像“她很紧张”这样的简单描述能够表达一种情绪,但往往会让角色显得平淡且落入俗套。相反,通过细节来展现情感,比如“她的手指扭动着,呼吸短促且不均匀”,这样能让人的情感更加鲜活且易于产生共鸣)”可知,前文建议通过细节呈现情感,此处选E“通过这样做,你能让读者产生身临其境的感受,而非仅仅只是阅读而已”说明了这么做的作用。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据上文“Last but not least, avoiding stereotypes doesn’t mean writing something unrealistic. Even the most imaginative twists lose power if they violate basic logic.(最后但同样重要的是,避免刻板印象并不意味着要写出不切实际的内容。即便是最富有想象力的创新违背了基本逻辑,也会失去其影响力)”以及后文“The most memorable stories are those that find new ways to express universal truths.(最令人难忘的故事往往是那些以新颖的方式表达出普遍真理的故事)”可知,本段总结全文,强调创新不能脱离现实逻辑。选项A“力求给人带来惊喜,但也要保持脚踏实地”符合语境。故选A。

【答案】Dear Johnson,
I am writing to share my suggestion for the optional course “English Short Video Creation”. I recommend the theme “A Day in Our School”.
This theme will allow us to record daily life in English, such as classes, activities, and friendships. It is simple but meaningful, giving us many chances to practice English expressions. At the same time, it can show the spirit of our school and make us feel proud. In addition, students can work in groups, which will boost cooperation and creativity and make the class more enjoyable.
I hope my suggestion will be helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua

Little Notes
Once again, I headed out to look for a job. Although I wasn’t very confident about the interview, I still held my head high, trying to stay hopeful under the morning sun. Before leaving, I made sure to stick a note on the fridge that read, “Son, finish your breakfast and have a good day.” Then I walked out of the door.
This quiet tradition came from my father. I still remember how, before every trip, he would leave a note on my desk: “I’ll come back with gifts for you.” When I stayed up late studying, I would open my pencil box and find another note inside: “Go to bed and have a good dream.” During summer camp, I would find a little note in my pocket that said, “Take care of yourself.” Those small pieces of paper were my first understanding of love — a gentle way of reminding me that someone always cared.
Years later, when my own son Jack was old enough to read, I continued the tradition. I left little notes throughout his life: “You are smarter than you think” in his math book, “Son, my little sun” on his bedroom door, and “Good luck at soccer” inside his shoe. He never said anything about them, but he became a happy, brave, and kind boy. That was enough for me.
Then came the hardest winter of my life. My company cut our pay, and people began whispering about who might lose their jobs. I worked every day with a heavy heart, always anxious, but in the end, I was still told to leave. It was a huge shock — but things got even harder. My husband lost his job too and had to move to another city to find work. I didn’t have time to feel sad. I needed to find a new job quickly to support our family.

【答案】That evening, after another long, unsuccessful day, I came home exhausted. Jack was already asleep. I sank onto the couch in the quiet living room and saw a small plate of neatly sliced apples waiting for me on the table. I picked a piece up, and as I did, my fingers brushed against something underneath. Curious, I lifted the plate and found a small note. In Jack’s neat handwriting, it read, “Mom, everything will be OK. I love you.” My eyes welled up with tears as I held the note gently in my hand.
The apple was refreshing and sweet, and so was the note. They were simple gifts, but they filled me with warmth and strength. In that quiet moment, all the stress and sadness of the day melted away. I smiled through my tears, feeling the power of love that had been passed down through three generations. The notes I had once left for Jack had come full circle. He was now the one lifting me up, just like my father once did. I realized that love, when shared, grows stronger, one small note at a time.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者外出找工作前,像父亲曾对自己做的那样,给儿子留便条。作者回忆父亲曾通过便条传递关爱,自己也延续这一传统陪伴儿子成长。如今作者遭遇失业、丈夫异地找工作的困境,仍需尽快找新工作养家。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“傍晚,又一个漫长且毫无收获的日子过后,我筋疲力尽地回到家”可知,第一段可描写作者失业后找工作受挫的疲惫状态,通过“杰克已睡熟”“安静的客厅”营造压抑氛围,再以“桌上整齐的苹果片”制造转折,引出后续的便条。
②由第二段句首内容“我拿起一块苹果,手指碰到了下面的东西”及便条内容可知,第二段可聚焦作者发现便条的过程,展现儿子的关爱,抒发作者的感动,升华“爱能传递力量”的主旨。
2.续写线索:归家——发现桌上苹果片——触摸到苹果下的东西——看到杰克的便条——品尝苹果、回味便条——领悟爱与传承的力量
3.词汇激活
行为类
①拿起:pick up/take up/lift up
②轻轻握住便条:hold the note gently/grasp the note softly/clutch the note tenderly
③传递:pass down/hand down/pass on
情绪类
