She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year! In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma's house. This event caused a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day six years ago, Shirley visited the skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized how much help they needed, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty. Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her make-up, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time. Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even livestreaming (网络直播) some of her events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit organization, Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating money or time to expand Shirley’s impact. Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless. Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others. 4. How did Shirley change her sad feeling and live purposefully? A. By livestreaming her daily life. B. By giving a hand to the homeless. C. By taking good care of her family members. D. By interacting with her fans in her free time. 5. What is the most likely to make Shirley the CNN Hero of the Year? A. Her strong character. B. Her make-up services. C. Her creative idea. D. Her charitable acts. 6. Why are some beauty professionals mentioned in the fourth paragraph? A. To show their contributions to the organization. B. To introduce the regulation of Shirley's program. C. To explain the structure of the organization. D. To demonstrate the diversity of volunteers. 7. Which does the author probably suggest readers do? A. Think twice before we leap. B. Stay optimistic all the time. C. Pass on love. D. Never give up. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，文章讲述了雪莉·雷恩斯通过创立非营利组织Beauty 2 The Streetz，为洛杉矶贫民窟的无家可归者提供免费的食物、衣物、理发和化妆服务，最终成为CNN年度英雄的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。文章第一段提到“Shirley Raines makes the homeless community in Los Angeles’s skid row (贫民窟) neighborhood feel human. She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless.(雪莉·雷恩斯让洛杉矶贫民窟社区的无家可归者感受到了人性的温暖。她是Beauty 2 The Streetz的创始人，这是一个非营利组织，为无家可归者提供免费的食物、衣物、理发和化妆服务。)”和第三段“Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless.(雪莉开始每周六去做志愿者。于是，她开了一家户外美容院为无家可归的人服务。)”可知，雪莉是通过帮助无家可归的人来改变她悲伤的情绪并有目的地生活的。故选B。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中“Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year!(雪莉现在是CNN年度英雄。)”以及“She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless.（她是Beauty 2 The Streetz创始人，这是一个为无家可归者提供免费食物、衣物、理发和化妆服务的非营利组织。）”可知，雪莉因为她的慈善行为成为了年度英雄。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中“Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling.(她的Instagram粉丝增长到超过20万人，其中包括许多美容专业人士，如持证发型师、理发师、化妆师。他们中的许多人定期捐款，以保持服务继续。)”可知，这些美容专业人士捐赠时间和金钱支持她的组织，因此提到他们是为了展示他们对组织的贡献。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others.(雪莉的大胆、关心、勇气、一致性和采取行动的愿望对人们的生活产生了真正的影响。她也成为了他人的榜样和灵感来源。)”可知，作者通过讲述雪莉的故事，鼓励读者像雪莉一样传递爱心，为他人带来帮助和温暖。故选C。 C When you reach 10, 000 steps in a day, your fitness app rewards you with virtual (虚拟的) stars and fireworks. Similarly, when you practice a language for several days in a row, you earn a “bonus” and are encouraged to keep it going. Many companies and apps use these types of features to make tasks more engaging and motivate people to achieve their goals. Business consultants promised that gamifying work could help motivate employees by making tasks more exciting. Instead of changing the nature of the work itself, gamification changes its presentation, using rewards and competition to make goal achievement feel more fun. However, recent studies have shown that gamification does not always work as expected. Ethan Mollick and Nancy Rothbard conducted an experiment to test the effectiveness of gamification in the workplace. They worked with a group of salespeople who were tasked with convincing businesses to offer coupons (优惠券) for products sold on their company’s website. The salespeople earned rewards based on how many coupons they sold. To make the work more exciting, Mollick and Rothbard created a basketball-themed game where salespeople earned points for each deal closed, with bigger deals earning more points. The names of top performers were displayed on giant screens, and regular emails updated everyone on who was winning. The top performer received a bottle of wine as a prize. Despite these efforts, the game did not improve sales or make employees feel more motivated. In fact, salespeople who disliked the game reported feeling worse about their work, and their performance even declined slightly. The game only helped those who bought into it, making them feel more engaged. At its best, gamification seems to work when it helps people achieve the goals they want to reach anyway by making the process of goal achievement more exciting. When people fully accept a game, the results can be impressive. However, when designed to encourage people to do something they don’t particularly care to do, it can backfire. What matters most is how the people playing the game feel about it. 8. What is the main purpose of gamification? A. To make work more enjoyable. B. To change the nature of work itself. C. To replace traditional reward systems. D. To discourage people from achieving goals. 9. What did Mollick and Rothbard find in their experiment? A. Employees were confused by rewards. B. All employees were not motivated by the game. C. The game increased overall sales performance. D. People who purchased games closed more deals. 10. Gamification works best when ______. A. tasks are challenging. B. rewards are financial. C. it matches people’s goals. D. people are forced to participate. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the article? A. The Importance of Playing Games in Business. B. The Challenges of Using Technologies Effectively. C. The Benefits of Reward Systems in the Workplace. D. The Impact of Gamification on Motivating People. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，介绍了工作游戏化的概念、目的及其效果，通过一项研究实验说明了游戏化在工作环境中的不同效果及其适用条件。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Many companies and apps use these types of features to make tasks more engaging and motivate people to achieve their goals(许多公司和应用程序使用这些类型的功能使任务更吸引人，并激励人们实现他们的目标)”以及“Instead of changing the nature of the work itself, gamification changes its presentation, using rewards and competition to make goal achievement feel more fun(游戏化不是改变工作的本质，而是改变其展示方式，利用奖励和竞争使目标的实现更有乐趣)”可推知，游戏化的主要目的是让工作变得更愉快。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Despite these efforts, the game did not improve sales or make employees feel more motivated. In fact, salespeople who disliked the game reported feeling worse about their work, and their performance even declined slightly.(尽管做出了这些努力，但这款游戏并没有提高销售额，也没有让员工感到更有动力。事实上，不喜欢这款游戏的销售人员对自己的工作感觉更差，他们的表现甚至略有下降)”可知，并非所有员工都被这个游戏激励了。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“At its best, gamification seems to work when it helps people achieve the goals they want to reach anyway by making the process of goal achievement more exciting.(最好的情况是，当游戏化通过让实现目标的过程变得更令人兴奋来帮助人们实现他们想要达到的目标时，它似乎是有效的)”可推知，当游戏化与人们的目标相匹配时，它是最有效的。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容，特别是最后一段“When people fully accept a game, the results can be impressive. However, when designed to encourage people to do something they don’t particularly care to do, it can backfire. What matters most is how the people playing the game feel about it.(当人们完全接受一款游戏时，结果可能会令人印象深刻。然而，当它被设计成鼓励人们去做他们并不特别喜欢做的事情时，它可能会适得其反。最重要的是玩家对游戏的感受)”可知，本文主要讨论了游戏化对激励人们的影响，描述了不同的效果，因此“游戏化对激励人们的影响”是文章的最佳标题。故选D。 D For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视觉感知) and the rhythm (节奏) of our steps while we’re walking. Researchers studied 45 subjects walking in a virtual environment along a 10-meter path. During each 9-second walk, subjects responded to visual inputs. Eye and head movements, as well as walking information, were tracked. “The study shows that the brain processes vision in a rhythmic manner, rising and falling in response to rhythm with our steps. When swinging from one step to the next, visual perception is good and reactions are fast. During the footfall, however, our vision is not as sharp and reactions are slow. Lead author Dr Davidson said, “We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision but this is deceptive. Compare it with a duck swimming on a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling activity.” For the mismatch, the current view is that the brain is a predictive machine that actively predicts what ought to be there and fills in the missing details It is unclear why our brain’s perceptual processes are so closely related to walking. Professor Alais said, “One possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.” Dr Davidson said, “An obvious question is whether the connection is more evident in the elderly given difficulty with balance as we age. The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.” He said it could also be applied to further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes. 12. What happens to a walking man according to the study? A. The head moves with the steps. B. The brain works best during the footfall. C. The level of vision experiences changes. D. The eyes’ information processing is limited. 13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 3? A. Effortless. B. Unreliable. C. Inspiring. D. Changeable. 14. What does Professor Alais’s explanation highlight? A The narrow range of human focus. B. The cooperation among body parts. C. The different tasks of the human senses. D. The adaptive nature of brain processing. 15. Which findings will Dr Davidson agree with? A. They help improve athletes’ recovery. B. They need to be tested on a larger scale. C. They may fail to apply to elderly people. D. They may drive progress in various areas. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了神经科学家首次发现，我们通常的感知变化与我们走路时的步子节奏之间的联系。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视觉感知) and the rhythm (节奏) of our steps while we’re walking.( 神经科学家首次在我们走路时的视觉感知变化和步伐节奏之间建立了联系。)”可知，根据这项研究，走路的人视觉水平经历着变化。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线单词句中“We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision…(我们有意识地意识到流畅的视觉流……)”及but以及下文“Compare it with a duck swimming on a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling activity.( 把它比作在池塘里游泳的鸭子。在表面光滑的运动之下，有很多周期性活动。)”由此可知，我们有意识地意识到流畅的视觉流，但这是骗人的。划线单词deceptive为“欺骗性的”意思，和B选项Unreliable“不可靠的”意思一致。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Professor Alais said, “One possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.”(艾莱斯教授说：“一种可能的解释是，当你的脚站稳了，下一步就计划好了，视觉变得次于运动控制。一旦你处于脚步之间的摇摆阶段，大脑就会切换回对世界的感知，创造出一种与你的步伐速度相协调的持续感知节奏。”)”可推知，艾莱斯教授的解释强调了大脑处理的自适应特性。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.” He said it could also be applied to further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes.( “这些发现还提出了一种令人兴奋的可能性，即我们可以使用VR耳机开发廉价而简单的医学测试，或者利用这些信息开发针对早期肌肉疾病或一些精神疾病的测试，这些疾病可以在异常行走中表现出来。”他说，它还可以应用于体育科学的进一步研究，以提高运动员的决策和反应时间。)”可推知，戴维森博士认为这些发现可能会推动各个领域的进步。故选D项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Perhaps you love listening to a happy song when you need to cheer up.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, however, Mary came with good news. She told Jane the school music festival was to be held the next month and that her classmates all expected her to sing on behalf of her class. Jane’s eyes sparkled but responded doubtfully, “Can I...?” Mary and I immediately assured her that she could make it. In the following month, with the help of Mary, Jane kept on practicing singing. Beautiful songs echoed in our house again and smiles began to appear on her face. Finally the big day came when she could present herself. When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. Jane was greeted with warm applause. As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice. Seconds after her performance, all the audience rose with thunderous cheers. When wheeled off stage, Jane received praise and bunches of flowers from her teachers and classmates. Jane was moved to tears. The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者的女儿简梦想成为歌手，在她的音乐老师玛丽的帮助下，简为了她的梦想努力取得进步。突然有一天，简遭遇了车祸，以后都不能自己站起来了，必须坐轮椅四处走动，简再也没有提过唱歌的话题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然而，有一天，玛丽带来了好消息。”可知，第一段可描写玛丽告诉简希望她代表班级唱歌，简在玛丽的帮助下继续练习，终于可以展示自己了。 ②由第二段首句内容“当主持人宣布轮到简时，她被推上了舞台。”可知，第二段可描写简的歌声得到了老师和同学们的赞扬，简重新找回了最初追求梦想的信心。 2.续写线索：好消息——简怀疑自己——练习唱歌——开始表演——得到赞扬——找到信心 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①希望：expect/hope/wish ②回答：respond/reply/answer ③保证：assure/guarantee/ensure 情绪类 ①眼睛闪闪发光：eyes sparkle/eyes glitter ②感动：move/touch 【点睛】[高分句型1]As she began to sing, the audience got absorbed in her beautiful voice.（由连接词as引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2]The kindness and encouragement from her teachers and classmates stimulated Jane’s enthusiasm for life, making her regain confidence in pursuing her original dream, which I will support wholeheartedly.（由关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 江苏省扬州中学阶段性检测 高二英语 2025.10 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.

B Shirley Raines makes the homeless community in Los Angeles’s skid row (贫民窟) neighborhood feel human. She is the founder of Beauty 2 The Streetz, a nonprofit organization that provides free food, clothing, haircuts, and make-up services for the homeless. And Shirley is now the CNN Hero of the Year! In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son Demetrius passed away from accidental poisoning while at his grandma's house. This event caused a lot of pain for Shirley Raines. The pain lasted for many years. And she did not know what to do about it. She struggled to understand what her purpose was in life. Until one day six years ago, Shirley visited the skid row with a friend from church who asked her to volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people and realized how much help they needed, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves and their own worth and beauty. Shirley started to volunteer every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her make-up, hair, and style. She started to offer to “make up” the homeless. They loved it, she loved it, they loved her and she loved them. She found purpose. So she started an outdoor beauty salon to serve the homeless, which took most of her spare time. Raines started sharing her efforts on Instagram with photos and even livestreaming (网络直播) some of her events. Things took off. She formed her nonprofit organization, Beauty 2 The Streetz, and her followers quickly began donating money or time to expand Shirley’s impact. Her Instagram followers grew to over 200,000 people, including many beauty professionals such as licensed hairstylists, barbers, make-up artists. Many of them regularly donate money to keep the services rolling. Others donate their time to help Shirley serve the homeless. Shirley’s boldness, caring, courage, consistency (连贯性), and desire to take action have led to making a real impact on people’s lives. And she also serves as a role model for and an inspiration to others. 4. How did Shirley change her sad feeling and live purposefully? A. By livestreaming her daily life. B. By giving a hand to the homeless. C. By taking good care of her family members. D. By interacting with her fans in her free time. 5. What is the most likely to make Shirley the CNN Hero of the Year?

C When you reach 10, 000 steps in a day, your fitness app rewards you with virtual (虚拟的) stars and fireworks. Similarly, when you practice a language for several days in a row, you earn a “bonus” and are encouraged to keep it going. Many companies and apps use these types of features to make tasks more engaging and motivate people to achieve their goals. Business consultants promised that gamifying work could help motivate employees by making tasks more exciting. Instead of changing the nature of the work itself, gamification changes its presentation, using rewards and competition to make goal achievement feel more fun. However, recent studies have shown that gamification does not always work as expected. Ethan Mollick and Nancy Rothbard conducted an experiment to test the effectiveness of gamification in the workplace. They worked with a group of salespeople who were tasked with convincing businesses to offer coupons (优惠券) for products sold on their company’s website. The salespeople earned rewards based on how many coupons they sold. To make the work more exciting, Mollick and Rothbard created a basketball-themed game where salespeople earned points for each deal closed, with bigger deals earning more points. The names of top performers were displayed on giant screens, and regular emails updated everyone on who was winning. The top performer received a bottle of wine as a prize. Despite these efforts, the game did not improve sales or make employees feel more motivated. In fact, salespeople who disliked the game reported feeling worse about their work, and their performance even declined slightly. The game only helped those who bought into it, making them feel more engaged. At its best, gamification seems to work when it helps people achieve the goals they want to reach anyway by making the process of goal achievement more exciting. When people fully accept a game, the results can be impressive. However, when designed to encourage people to do something they don’t particularly care to do, it can backfire. What matters most is how the people playing the game feel about it. 8. What is the main purpose of gamification? A. To make work more enjoyable. B. To change the nature of work itself. C. To replace traditional reward systems. D. To discourage people from achieving goals. 9. What did Mollick and Rothbard find in their experiment? A. Employees were confused by rewards. B. All employees were not motivated by the game. C. The game increased overall sales performance. D. People who purchased games closed more deals. 10. Gamification works best when ______. A. tasks are challenging. B. rewards are financial. C. it matches people’s goals. D. people are forced to participate. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the article? A. The Importance of Playing Games in Business. B. The Challenges of Using Technologies Effectively. C. The Benefits of Reward Systems in the Workplace. D. The Impact of Gamification on Motivating People. D For the first time, neuroscientists have established a connection between changes in our visual perception (视觉感知) and the rhythm (节奏) of our steps while we’re walking. Researchers studied 45 subjects walking in a virtual environment along a 10-meter path. During each 9-second walk, subjects responded to visual inputs. Eye and head movements, as well as walking information, were tracked. “The study shows that the brain processes vision in a rhythmic manner, rising and falling in response to rhythm with our steps. When swinging from one step to the next, visual perception is good and reactions are fast. During the footfall, however, our vision is not as sharp and reactions are slow. Lead author Dr Davidson said, “We are consciously aware of a smooth stream of vision but this is deceptive. Compare it with a duck swimming on a pond. Beneath the smooth motion on the surface there is a lot of cycling activity.” For the mismatch, the current view is that the brain is a predictive machine that actively predicts what ought to be there and fills in the missing details It is unclear why our brain’s perceptual processes are so closely related to walking. Professor Alais said, “One possible explanation is that vision becomes secondary to movement control while your foot is grounded and the next step is planned. Once you are in the swing stage between footfalls, the brain switches back to prioritizing (优先处理) the sensing of the world, creating an ongoing perceptual rhythm that harmonizes with your step rate.” Dr Davidson said, “An obvious question is whether the connection is more evident in the elderly given difficulty with balance as we age. The findings also raise the exciting possibility that we could develop cheap and easy medical tests using VR headsets, or use this information to develop tests for the early stage of muscular disorders or some mental illnesses, which can be shown in abnormal walking.” He said it could also be applied to further research in sports science to better decision-making and reaction times in athletes. 12. What happens to a walking man according to the study? A. The head moves with the steps. B. The brain works best during the footfall. C. The level of vision experiences changes. D. The eyes’ information processing is limited. 13. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “deceptive” in paragraph 3? A. Effortless. B. Unreliable. C. Inspiring. D. Changeable. 14. What does Professor Alais’s explanation highlight? A. The narrow range of human focus. B. The cooperation among body parts. C. The different tasks of the human senses. D.

At an early age, she was crazy about singing. Whenever she had a chance, she would sing to her heart’s content. Her sweet and charming voice tended to get people around attracted to her songs. Living in a small city, I took several odd jobs, determined to do everything in my power to support her. Soon after Jane attended school, her music teacher Mary noticed her talent by chance and volunteered to give her some guidance on how to sing. Jane practiced so hard that before long she made great progress in singing. Unfortunately, one noon a year later, Jane was crossing the street when a careless driver knocked her down. She was rushed to hospital. When I hurried there, the doctor told me that my daughter would probably not stand on her own feet. I froze with shock, feeling as if I had been thrown into a dark world. Weak and dizzy, I was about to fall to the ground when someone took hold of me. It was Mary, who got the news and raced here. She comforted me, saying firmly, “Grace, Jane needs you. You must stay calm and strong.” I nodded. Having calmed down, I entered the ward with Mary. That night, Jane recovered her consciousness (知觉) and opened her eyes. Holding her hand, I said, “My dear, everything would be fine.” Mary comforted her gently, “I know you are a strong girl, Jane. Don’t worry. We’ll be standing by you.” I was heartbroken to see tears streaming down Jane’s cheeks. After two months, we returned home from hospital. Her teachers and friends frequently visited her. Jane eventually accepted the fact that she would have to get around in a wheelchair. Never did she refer to the subject of singing again. I knew she was a nice and understanding girl, who was afraid that talking about her original dream would upset the two of us. 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。 One day, however, Mary came with good news. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When the host announced it was Jane’s turn, she was wheeled onto the stage. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
