B My wife and I enjoy a well-built home with a large yard. Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what’s there to worry about? That’s what a lot of people thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best-built homes were dangerously low. Luckily, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn’t, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our active preparation and my self-sufficient(自给自足的)skill set. My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self-sufficient. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid(电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival skills were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I’m familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off. Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious(节能意识的)habit. Living off the grid doesn’t have to be a simple lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same rules hold true, such as putting an end to using a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather. 4. What does the underlined word “devastating” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Demanding. B. Disastrous. C. Delightful. D. Developing. 5. What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas after the storm? A. Ask the government for help. B. Make active preparations. C. Improve self-sufficient skills. D. Lead a relatively normal life. 6. How did the writer know about living through bad situations? A. By growing up on a farm. B. By studying from the books. C. By suffering natural disasters. D. By learning from his experience. 7. What is the best way to live off the grid? A. To pay attention to saving energy. B. To live a simple life. C. To wash clothes on a rainy day. D. To buy a high- quality clothes dryer. C In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart. Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction. It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes. The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live. While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing. 8. Why do people attend live shows despite music streaming services? A. Because they prefer being with friends at a concert. B. Because they enjoy the process of finding popular music. C. Because they intend to meet their favorite musicians in person. D. Because they value the emotional connection live music brings. 9. The role of the pianist play in the “live” experiment is to _______. A. observe the participants’ brain activity as feedback B. compare the effectiveness of live performances and recorded ones C. provide live accompaniment to participants inside the MRI scanner D. demonstrate their ability to read and respond to the audience’s mood 10. What did the study published in PNAS find about the impact of live music on the brain? A. Live music affected only the amygdala of the brain. B. The brain responded more intensely to acoustic features of live music. C. Live music had a reduced emotional impact compared to recorded music. D. The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive to dynamic music. 11. What does the author suggest by mentioning ABBA Voyage in the last paragraph? A. It fails to create a perfect performing atmosphere. B. It matches the sound quality of live performances. C. It greatly stirs up the audience’s emotional response. D. It lacks artists’ response based on audience’s feedback. D Four-legged robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Cheetah owe almost all their quickness to fancy footwork. In biology, however, a four-legged animal’s movement, flexibility, and complex motor functions come almost entirely from its spine (脊柱). If artificial spines could be put into such designs, engineers could find entirely new approaches to accurate mobility. Now, engineers are reportedly a few steps further towards spine-centric, four-legged bots thanks to a research team’s rat-inspired robot. NeRmo is a biomimetic and four-legged robot that depends on an innovative motor-tendon (运动肌腱的) structure to move around environments. As far as looks go, NeRmo mirrors a mouse’s bone system. The robot’s solid front half houses its electronics systems, while its latter half functions much as an actual flexible spine would. Artificial tendons passing through the spine as well as the robot’s arm and knee joints allow NeRmo even more mouselike movements alongside quicker turning times. NeRmo’s tendon system prevented the need for any muscle while still allowing for smooth bending capabilities, i. e. side-to-side, and up-and-down. To test their new design, the team ran NeRmo through a series of four experiments to demonstrate balancing, straight-line walking, quick turning, and maze navigation. Each trial included two rounds — one with the spinal system engaged, and the other with it disabled. Across the board, NeRmo performed the tasks better, faster, and more accurately when it combined the spine with its movements. Maze navigation, however, was NeRmo’s true shining moment. With its spine engaged, the mouse-bot completed its maze runs much faster than simply wandering through without spinal support. Although still in its early stages, researchers believe further design involving the spinal systems in future four-legged robots could vastly improve their functionality. If NeRmo wasn’t proof enough, think of it this way — MIT’s Cheetah can run 13 feet per second with just one joint copying the bending of the spine forward and backward. NeRmo, meanwhile, has eight joints. 12. What is the limitation of Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Cheetah? A. Having an unattractive appearance. B. Referring to few biological bases. C. Having a strict range of applications. D. Lacking spine-based moving accuracy. 13. Which of the following makes NeRmo move more like mice? A. The tendon system. B. The bone system. C. The muscle system. D. The knee joint. 14. What did the four testing experiments find? A. NeRmo had a great sense of direction. B. The spinal system bettered NeRmo’s movement. C. NeRmo without an artificial spine lost control easily. D. Artificial spines gave hope to disabled animals. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Putting NeRmo into use has difficulties in practice. B. Reducing the number of joints in robots is necessary. C. Applying spinal systems to robots has a promising outlook. D. Creating more four-legged robots is a matter of time. 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。 Want to encourage more of your students to continue their history studies to GCSE?

For every student in our school, becoming a member was the biggest dream. Now, we were only one step away. That weekend, Dee and I sat together in the library, filling out the application forms. We both worked hard to prove we possessed all the required qualities: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. I wrote about the effort I put into my honors math and science classes. He listed his experience of baking cookies to raise money for the community. We poured our hearts into those applications, convinced that we would pass this test — together. The next day, we submitted the paperwork to the advisor and tried to put it out of our minds. Months later, a letter arrived. I tore it open, only to feel a sharp stab (刺痛) of disappointment. They had not chosen me. At that very moment, I saw Dee rushing toward me from a distance, his face lit up with a bright smile, a letter in his hand. I knew immediately that his news was the opposite of mine. Without a second thought, I turned away. I knew he wanted to share his joy and had probably even planned for us to celebrate together. But I just couldn’t face him. That afternoon, I stepped off the school bus without even a glance or a goodbye to Dee. I hurried home, handed the letter to my mom, and finally let the tears roll down my cheeks. How could the world be so unfair? I was completely blinded by my own anger and disappointment. 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。 From that day on, I didn’t talk to Dee. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom talked with me a week later, pointing out Dee wasn’t the one to blame. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年上学期月二考试 高三年级英语试题 时间：120分钟 总分：150分 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 注意，听力部分答题时请先将答案标在试卷上，听力部分结束前你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到答题卡上。 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。 1.

Our electricity comes from a pole in the street, our water from the city water company, and our natural gas from the natural gas supply company. We live in South Texas, the energy center of the world, so what’s there to worry about? That’s what a lot of people thought until a devastating winter storm hit Texas. Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best-built homes were dangerously low. Luckily, our electricity and gas stayed on. Even if they hadn’t, we were prepared for the worst. If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our active preparation and my self-sufficient(自给自足的)skill set. My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self-sufficient. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid(电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival skills were a practiced necessity. So, although my wife and I are currently on the grid, I’m familiar with what it takes to live a comfortable lifestyle when the power is cut off. Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious(节能意识的)habit. Living off the grid doesn’t have to be a simple lifestyle like the kind I lived on the farm, but some of the same rules hold true, such as putting an end to using a clothes dryer and planning your wash days around the weather. 4. What does the underlined word “devastating” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Demanding. B. Disastrous. C. Delightful. D. Developing. 5. What would the writer do if he lost electricity and gas after the storm? A. Ask the government for help. B. Make active preparations. C. Improve self-sufficient skills. D. Lead a relatively normal life. 6. How did the writer know about living through bad situations? A. By growing up on a farm. B. By studying from the books. C. By suffering natural disasters. D. By learning from his experience. 7. What is the best way to live off the grid? A. To pay attention to saving energy. B. To live a simple life. C. To wash clothes on a rainy day. D. To buy a high- quality clothes dryer. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. D 7. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。作者就德克萨斯州暴雪断电情况发表自己感想：要防患于未然，形成即使脱离传统公共设施也能正常生活的能力。 【4题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段“Many people were left without water, power or gas. Temperatures inside even the best- built homes were dangerously low.(许多人没有水、电和煤气。即使是建造最好的房子，里面的温度也低得危险)”可知，这是一场“灾难性的”冬季风暴，使人们的正常生活变得很艰难。由此推测 devastating 表“灾难性的”意思，B项Disastrous意为“灾难性的”。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If we had lost our power and gas, we might have been uncomfortable, but we would have made it through thanks to our active preparation and my self-sufficient(自给自足的)skill set.(如果我们没了电力和燃气，我们可能会感到不舒服，但由于我们积极的准备和我自给自足的技能，我们会度过难关的)”可知，如果作者家断电和断气，他也将过上相对正常的生活。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“My knowledge of getting through that type of situation comes from a lifetime of surviving in difficult environments. I grew up on a farm in Arkansas, where my family was almost totally self- sufficient. Later in life, I lived for three years in Fairbanks, Alaska, where living off the grid(电网)was a normal lifestyle and basic survival skills were a practiced necessity.(我克服这种情况的知识来自于我一生在困难环境中的生存经验。我在阿肯色州的一个农场长大，家里几乎完全自给自足。后来，我在阿拉斯加的费尔班克斯住了三年，在那里，远离电网是一种正常的生活方式，基本的生存技能是一种实践的必需品)”可知，作者通过从自己先前的生活经历中学习了解如何度过没有电的困难时期。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Perhaps the most important thing you can do to ensure your success living off the grid is to develop an energy-conscious habit.(也许你能做的最重要的事情就是养成一种能源意识的习惯，以确保你在远离电网的生活中取得成功)”可知，有节能意识，养成节约能源习惯是脱离传统公共设施生活的最佳方式。故选A项。 C In a world of music streaming services, access to almost any song is just a few clicks away. Yet, the live performance lives on. People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart. Concerts are immersive (沉浸式的) social experiences in which people listen to and feel the music together through crescendos, key changes and rhythmic drops. Moreover, they are dynamic — artists can adapt their playing according to the crowd’s reaction. It was this last difference that led neuroscientists, based at the Universities of Zurich and Oslo, to study the brain responses of people listening to music. In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback. In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes. The scientists were interested in how live music affected the areas of the brain responsible for processing emotions, particularly the amygdala, an area deep inside the brain. The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact. Whether the music conveyed happiness or sadness, dynamic live performances led to increased activity not only in the amygdala but also other parts of the brain’s emotion processing network. The researchers also found that participants’ brain activity tracked the acoustic (声学的) features of the music, like tempo and pitch, far more closely when it was played live. While the study didn’t fully recreate the live concert experience, the findings suggest that artists’ ability to adjust their performance in real time contributes to the emotional resonance (共鸣) of live music. Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing. 8. Why do people attend live shows despite music streaming services? A. Because they prefer being with friends at a concert. B. Because they enjoy the process of finding popular music. C. Because they intend to meet their favorite musicians in person. D. Because they value the emotional connection live music brings. 9. The role of the pianist play in the “live” experiment is to _______. A. observe the participants’ brain activity as feedback B. compare the effectiveness of live performances and recorded ones C. provide live accompaniment to participants inside the MRI scanner D. demonstrate their ability to read and respond to the audience’s mood 10. What did the study published in PNAS find about the impact of live music on the brain? A. Live music affected only the amygdala of the brain. B. The brain responded more intensely to acoustic features of live music. C. Live music had a reduced emotional impact compared to recorded music. D. The participants’ brain activity was especially sensitive to dynamic music. 11. What does the author suggest by mentioning ABBA Voyage in the last paragraph? A. It fails to create a perfect performing atmosphere. B. It matches the sound quality of live performances. C. It greatly stirs up the audience’s emotional response. D. It lacks artists’ response based on audience’s feedback. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了尽管有音乐流媒体服务，人们还参加现场演出，因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。文章介绍了与之有关的研究和研究发现。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“People still fill sweaty basements, muddy fields and gilded concert halls to hear their favourite musicians play. And now neuroscientists might know why—live music engages the brain’s emotion centres more than its recorded counterpart.(人们仍然挤在闷热的地下室、泥泞的田野和镀金的音乐厅里听他们最喜欢的音乐家演奏。现在神经科学家可能知道了原因——现场音乐比录音音乐更能调动大脑的情绪中枢)”可知，尽管有音乐流媒体服务，人们还参加现场演出是因为他们重视现场音乐带来的情感联系。故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“In the “live” experiment, participants lay in an MRI scanner listening to the music through earphones, while a pianist was positioned outside the room. The pianist was shown the participant’s real-time brain activity as a form of feedback.In the recorded condition, participants listened to pre-recorded versions of the same tunes.(在“现场”实验中，参与者躺在核磁共振扫描仪中，戴着耳机听音乐，而钢琴家则被安排在房间外面。作为一种反馈，钢琴家被展示了参与者的实时大脑活动。在录音条件下，参与者听预先录制的相同曲调)”可知，钢琴家在“现场”实验中扮演的角色是为MRI扫描仪内的参与者提供现场伴奏。故选C。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The results, just published in the journal PNAS, revealed that live music had a significantly greater emotional impact.(刚刚发表在《美国科学院院刊》上的研究结果显示，现场音乐对情绪的影响要大得多)”可知，关于现场音乐对大脑的影响，发表在PNAS上的研究发现大脑对现场音乐的声学特征反应更强烈。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Some musical acts now attempt to recreate live concerts, such as ABBA Voyage, an immersive pre-recorded VR concert, but without artists’ capacity to read audience’s mood and respond accordingly, it will never quite match the real thing.(现在，一些音乐表演试图重现现场音乐会，比如ABBA Voyage，这是一场身临其境的预先录制的VR音乐会，但如果艺术家没有能力读懂观众的情绪并做出相应的反应，它就永远无法与真实的音乐会媲美)”可知，作者在最后一段提到ABBA Voyage意思是缺乏艺术家基于观众反馈的回应。故选D。 D Four-legged robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Cheetah owe almost all their quickness to fancy footwork. In biology, however, a four-legged animal’s movement, flexibility, and complex motor functions come almost entirely from its spine (脊柱). If artificial spines could be put into such designs, engineers could find entirely new approaches to accurate mobility. Now, engineers are reportedly a few steps further towards spine-centric, four-legged bots thanks to a research team’s rat-inspired robot. NeRmo is a biomimetic and four-legged robot that depends on an innovative motor-tendon (运动肌腱的) structure to move around environments. As far as looks go, NeRmo mirrors a mouse’s bone system. The robot’s solid front half houses its electronics systems, while its latter half functions much as an actual flexible spine would. Artificial tendons passing through the spine as well as the robot’s arm and knee joints allow NeRmo even more mouselike movements alongside quicker turning times. NeRmo’s tendon system prevented the need for any muscle while still allowing for smooth bending capabilities, i. e. side-to-side, and up-and-down. To test their new design, the team ran NeRmo through a series of four experiments to demonstrate balancing, straight-line walking, quick turning, and maze navigation. Each trial included two rounds — one with the spinal system engaged, and the other with it disabled. Across the board, NeRmo performed the tasks better, faster, and more accurately when it combined the spine with its movements. Maze navigation, however, was NeRmo’s true shining moment. With its spine engaged, the mouse-bot completed its maze runs much faster than simply wandering through without spinal support. Although still in its early stages, researchers believe further design involving the spinal systems in future four-legged robots could vastly improve their functionality. If NeRmo wasn’t proof enough, think of it this way — MIT’s Cheetah can run 13 feet per second with just one joint copying the bending of the spine forward and backward. NeRmo, meanwhile, has eight joints. 12. What is the limitation of Boston Dynamics’ Spot and Cheetah? A. Having an unattractive appearance. B. Referring to few biological bases. C. Having a strict range of applications. D. Lacking spine-based moving accuracy. 13. Which of the following makes NeRmo move more like mice? A. The tendon system. B. The bone system. C. The muscle system. D. The knee joint. 14. What did the four testing experiments find? A. NeRmo had a great sense of direction. B. The spinal system bettered NeRmo’s movement. C. NeRmo without an artificial spine lost control easily. D. Artificial spines gave hope to disabled animals. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Putting NeRmo into use has difficulties in practice. B. Reducing the number of joints in robots is necessary. C. Applying spinal systems to robots has a promising outlook. D. Creating more four-legged robots is a matter of time. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了受老鼠启发的机器人NeRmo，它的运动肌腱结构使它能够像老鼠一样快速、灵活地运动。研究人员通过一系列实验证明，NeRmo的脊柱系统能够提高它的运动性能，这为未来四足机器人的设计提供了新的思路。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Four-legged robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spo t and Cheetah owe almost all their quickness to fancy footwork. In biology, however, a four-legged animal’s movement, flexibility, and complex motor functions come almost entirely from its spine(脊柱). If artificial spines could be put into such designs, engineers could find entirely new approaches to accurate mobility.(像波士顿动力公司(Boston Dynamics)的Spot和Cheetah这样的四足机器人，它们的快速几乎都归功于花哨的步法。然而，在生物学中，四足动物的运动、灵活性和复杂的运动功能几乎完全来自其脊柱。如果人工脊柱能够被应用到这样的设计中，工程师们可能会找到全新的方法来实现精确的运动。)”可知，Boston Dynamics的Spot和Cheetah几乎完全依赖于复杂的步法来实现快速运动，而在生物学中，四足动物的运动、灵活性和复杂的运动功能几乎完全来自其脊柱。由此可知，Boston Dynamics的Spot和Cheetah的局限性在于缺乏基于脊柱的运动精度。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Artificial tendons passing through the spine as well as the robot’s arm and knee joints allow NeRmo even more mouselike movements alongside quicker turning times.(穿过脊柱以及机器人手臂和膝盖关节的人造肌腱使NeRmo能够做出更像老鼠的动作，同时还能更快地转弯)”可知，NeRmo机器人的运动肌腱结构使其能够像老鼠一样快速、灵活地运动。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Across the board, NeRmo performed the tasks better, faster, and more accurately when it combined the spine with its movements.(总的来说，当NeRmo将脊柱与运动结合起来时，它能更好、更快、更准确地完成任务。)”可知，上文的四个测试实验发现脊柱系统改善了NeRmo的运动。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although still in its early stages, researchers believe further design involving the spinal systems in future four-legged robots could vastly improve their functionality.(尽管仍处于早期阶段，研究人员相信，在未来的四足机器人中涉及脊柱系统的进一步设计可以大大提高它们的功能。)”可知，在机器人中应用脊柱系统具有广阔的前景。故选C。 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。 Want to encourage more of your students to continue their history studies to GCSE?

For every student in our school, becoming a member was the biggest dream. Now, we were only one step away. That weekend, Dee and I sat together in the library, filling out the application forms. We both worked hard to prove we possessed all the required qualities: scholarship, leadership, service, and character. I wrote about the effort I put into my honors math and science classes. He listed his experience of baking cookies to raise money for the community. We poured our hearts into those applications, convinced that we would pass this test — together. The next day, we submitted the paperwork to the advisor and tried to put it out of our minds. Months later, a letter arrived. I tore it open, only to feel a sharp stab (刺痛) of disappointment. They had not chosen me. At that very moment, I saw Dee rushing toward me from a distance, his face lit up with a bright smile, a letter in his hand. I knew immediately that his news was the opposite of mine. Without a second thought, I turned away. I knew he wanted to share his joy and had probably even planned for us to celebrate together. But I just couldn’t face him. That afternoon, I stepped off the school bus without even a glance or a goodbye to Dee. I hurried home, handed the letter to my mom, and finally let the tears roll down my cheeks. How could the world be so unfair? I was completely blinded by my own anger and disappointment. 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。 From that day on, I didn’t talk to Dee. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Mom talked with me a week later, pointing out Dee wasn’t the one to blame. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 From that day on, I didn’t talk to Dee. Every time I thought of Dee or saw Dee, the stab of sadness caused by refusal returned, making me feel bitter and angry. I noticed Dee tried to do something to mend it. One day, he even left me a note. But I looked at him coldly, tearing it into pieces. I yelled rudely. “Don’t show off” Dee attempted to explain but I stopped him by saying “Leave me alone.” He left, obviously annoyed and upset. We became stranger, even worse than that, enemies. What I did might have made Dee think he had robbed me of that precious chance. Mom talked with me a week later, pointing out Dee wasn’t the one to blame. “You should have congratulated your friend on this instead of feeling pitiful for yourself,” she said seriously. At that instant, I suddenly realized I treated Dee unfairly. In fact, Dee made all the efforts to stick with me. It was I who hurt him. Seized by guilt, I apologized to Dee, for my selfishness and rudeness. Dee hugged me, tears in eyes. I felt so grateful and lucky he should have forgiven me. And I also learnt a life lesson: Never forget to applaud your friend’s making it to the peak even though when you are still at the foot of the mountain. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和挚友迪伊同时获得国家初中荣誉学会提名后共同准备申请材料。作为全校学生梦寐以求的荣誉，两人分别通过数学竞赛经验和社区筹款经历全力展现自身品质。当录取通知揭晓时，作者因落选而深受打击，恰逢迪伊手持录取信欣喜奔来，作者却因无法面对现实而刻意回避好友。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“从那天起，我就没有和迪伊说过话。”可知，第一段可以描写作者拒绝和迪伊沟通，导致两人关系恶化。 ②由第二段首句内容“一周后，妈妈找我谈话，指出迪伊不应该受到责备。”可知，第二段可以描写作者在妈妈的开导下，认识到自己的错误，并最终和迪伊和好如初。 2. 续写线索：再也没和迪伊说过话——迪伊试图修补——依旧拒绝沟通——关系恶化——妈妈开导——认识到错误——道歉——和好。 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①看见：see/spot ②修补：mend/repair ③向……道歉：apologize to/make an apology to 情绪类 ①悲伤：sadness/sorrow ②愤怒的：angry/furious 【点睛】【高分句型1】What I did might have made Dee think he had robbed me of that precious chance.(what引导的主语从句) 【高分句型2】It was I who hurt him.(it was...who引导的强调句型) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
