B In the summer of 2015, Jenny, a young environmental enthusiast, traveled to the coast of California with her family to enjoy a relaxing beach vacation. She was excited to spend time by the ocean, swimming and basking in the sun. However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Jenny’s heart sink. Jenny had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. It was not only ruining her vacation but also endangering the marine life she loved. She thought of the turtles that might mistake plastic for food, or the seabirds that could get trapped in the nets. She knew she had to do something about it. After returning home, Jenny decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. She encouraged her friends, family and classmates to join her. And soon, a small group of dedicated volunteers formed. They organized monthly cleanups and started educating the community about reducing plastic waste. But Jenny didn’t stop there. Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called Ocean’s Hope. The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. Jenny’s passion for the ocean grew stronger, and she worked tirelessly to inspire others. By 2020, Ocean’s Hope had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices. Jenny’s dream of a cleaner, safer ocean was becoming a reality. 24. What first made Jenny realize the seriousness of ocean pollution? A. A lecture at her school. B. Seeing piles of plastic and trash on a beach. C. A news report about endangered turtles. D. A documentary about marine life. 25. Which action did Jenny take immediately after her vacation? A. She wrote a letter to the government. B. She started a fundraising campaign online. C. She organized an international conference. D. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups. 26. Why did Jenny create the non-profit Ocean’s Hope? A. To involve more people worldwide. B. To earn money from eco-tourism. C. To publish books about marine animals. D. To start a new career as a public speaker. 27. By 2020, what had Ocean’s Hope achieved? A. It had won a Nobel Prize. B. It had removed all plastic from every ocean. C. It had become a global movement. D. It had built a new research lab in California. C Eight-year-old Xiao Ming sat with his head in his hands, muttering to himself as he tried to beat an AI-powered robot at a game of chess. But this was not in an AI showroom or lab — the robot was living on a coffee table in a Beijing apartment, along with Xiao Ming. “It’s like a little teacher or a little friend,” the boy said, as he showed his mum the next move he was considering on the chessboard. China is actively employing AI in its bid to become a tech superpower by 2030. DeepSeek, the breakthrough Chinese chatbot that caught the world’s attention in January, was just the first shot of that ambition. Beijing plans to invest 100 billion Chinese yuan ($13.7 billion; €12.9 billion) over the next 15 years as it competes with Washington to gain the edge in advanced tech. AI funding got yet another boost at the government’s annual political gathering, which is currently underway. This comes on the heels of a 60-billion-yuan AI investment fund created in January, just days after the US further tightened export controls for advanced chips and placed more Chinese firms on a trade blacklist. But DeepSeek has shown that Chinese companies can overcome these barriers. And that’s what has surprised Silicon Valley and industry experts — they did not expect China to catch up so soon. “DeepSeek’s rapid rise has caused hostile reactions from some in the West,” a commentary in the state-run Beijing Daily noted, adding that “the development environment for China’s AI models remains highly uncertain.” But China’s AI firms are not discouraged. Rather, they believe thrifty innovation (节俭创新) will win them an undeniable advantage — because it was DeepSeek’s claim that it could rival ChatGPT for a tiny amount of the cost that shocked the AI industry. 28. Why is Xiao Ming mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To present detailed information. C. To provide an argument. D. To illustrate China’s AI firms. 29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. China has already had many successful AI achievements. B. China invested 100-billion-yuan investment fund in January. C. DeepSeek has suggested China’s determination to cooperate with others. D. DeepSeek was just the first step for China to become a tech giant. 30. What is the attitude of some Western countries towards DeepSeek’s booming? A. Supportive. B. Unfriendly C. Indifferent. D. Admiring. 31. What do we know from the passage? A. Chinese AI firms could outweigh due to its less expense. B. The cost of DeepSeek is much higher than that of ChatGPT. C. China’s AI development will face no difficulty in the future. D. All countries are making joint efforts in the development of AI. D Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from. Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form. No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children. The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. 32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat? A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation. C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history. 33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids? A. To illustrate that it never goes bad. B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians. C. To compare it with the honey in Spain. D. To inform that it originates from Egypt. 34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey? A. Promoting bacterial growth. B. Curing throat pain. C. Preventing infection in wounds. D. Resisting common colds. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy D. Honey: a Common Sweetener 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。 Learning English can be hard, but don’t give up!

She was always ready to help others. Most importantly, she was honest. One day, when Lily entered the classroom, she saw a crowd looking at something. Lily joined them and found that Peter, her classmate, was showing his newly bought pen to other students. The pen was special and everyone was talking about it cheerfully. Lily was really fond of that pen. She even asked Peter where he bought the pen and she intended to buy one. However, such a pen was too expensive for her — she could only earn her pocket money by helping do housework at home. At that time, the school bell rang. Immediately, all the children rushed to the playground to do morning exercises. When Lily ran out of the classroom, Smith, their math teacher, asked Lily to get some chalk from the classroom. Lily went back to the classroom and found Peter's pen on his desk. She couldn’t help walking to the pen. While Lily was admiring the pen, she heard Smith call her out. In a hurry, she dropped the pen on the floor. She quickly picked it up, put it back and went to give the chalk to Smith. Before Lily ran to the playground, she saw her classmate Mary coming back to the classroom as she was ill. After the morning exercises everyone went back to the classroom. Just then Peter found his pen was broken and asked who was in the classroom at the time of doing morning exercises. Almost everyone pointed to Mary. When asked whether she had broken Peter’s pen, Mary said no. However, no one could prove her words. Feeling sad, she started to cry. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily felt her heart race as she realized what might have happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smith, having heard Lily’s confession（坦白）, praised her honesty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 武强中学2025-2026学年度上学期期中考试 高二英语试题 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Where will the man sit?

First, the headmaster gave a speech at eight o’clock. He encouraged us all to do well. Five teams took part in each event. At eight thirty, the 100-meter freestyle began. Unfortunately, one of our swimmers had a sudden pain in her left leg during the race. She stopped swimming and shouted for help. A teacher jumped into the pool and brought her back. Luckily, she was fine. At about ten past nine, it was time for my event, the 200-meter freestyle. I walked to the edge of the pool and waited for the judge to fire his gun. I heard him say “On your marks, get set, go” and we jumped in. However, a swimmer dived into the pool too early. We had to start again. I was in the lead for the first 150 meters, but another swimmer swam past me later. I won a medal for second place. I was a little disappointed. My team came in second overall with 47 points. The team which won had a total of 53 points. I’m tired out now. It’s been a long day and I’m about to go to sleep.

She was excited to spend time by the ocean, swimming and basking in the sun. However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Jenny’s heart sink. Jenny had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. It was not only ruining her vacation but also endangering the marine life she loved. She thought of the turtles that might mistake plastic for food, or the seabirds that could get trapped in the nets. She knew she had to do something about it. After returning home, Jenny decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. She encouraged her friends, family and classmates to join her. And soon, a small group of dedicated volunteers formed. They organized monthly cleanups and started educating the community about reducing plastic waste. But Jenny didn’t stop there. Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called Ocean’s Hope. The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. Jenny’s passion for the ocean grew stronger, and she worked tirelessly to inspire others. By 2020, Ocean’s Hope had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices. Jenny’s dream of a cleaner, safer ocean was becoming a reality. 24. What first made Jenny realize the seriousness of ocean pollution? A. A lecture at her school. B. Seeing piles of plastic and trash on a beach. C. A news report about endangered turtles. D. A documentary about marine life. 25. Which action did Jenny take immediately after her vacation? A. She wrote a letter to the government. B. She started a fundraising campaign online. C. She organized an international conference. D. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups. 26. Why did Jenny create the non-profit Ocean’s Hope? A. To involve more people worldwide. B. To earn money from eco-tourism. C. To publish books about marine animals. D. To start a new career as a public speaker. 27. By 2020, what had Ocean’s Hope achieved? A. It had won a Nobel Prize. B. It had removed all plastic from every ocean. C. It had become a global movement. D. It had built a new research lab in California. 【答案】24. B 25. D 26. A 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述环保爱好者珍妮因目睹加州海滩污染，从参与清理到创立非营利组织“海洋希望”，推动全球海洋环保行动的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“However, as she walked along the shore, she was astonished to see piles of plastic bottles, broken fishing nets and discarded wrappers along the sand. The once beautiful beach was now littered with trash, and this made Jenny’s heart sink. (然而，当她沿着海岸行走时，惊讶地发现沙滩上堆满了塑料瓶、破旧的渔网和丢弃的包装纸。这个曾经美丽的海滩现在到处都是垃圾，这让珍妮的心情沉重起来。)”以及第二段中的“Jenny had always cared about the environment, but seeing the pollution up close made her realize just how serious the problem had become. (珍妮一直很关心环境，但近距离看到污染，让她意识到问题已经变得多么严重。)”可知，是在海滩上看到成堆的塑料和垃圾，让珍妮首次意识到海洋污染的严重性。故选B项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“After returning home, Jenny decided to take action. She began volunteering at local beach cleanups every weekend, picking up trash and raising awareness about the dangers of ocean pollution. (回家后，珍妮决定采取行动。她开始每个周末都在当地的海滩清理活动中做志愿者，捡拾垃圾，并提高人们对海洋污染危害的认识。)”可知，假期结束后，珍妮立即采取的行动是参与当地的海滩清理志愿活动。故选D项。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“Realizing that the problem was far too big for just a small group to handle, she created a non-profit organization called Ocean’s Hope. The organization’s mission was to raise awareness about plastic pollution, organize global beach cleanups and collaborate with businesses to reduce plastic packaging. (意识到这个问题太大，仅靠一个小团体无法解决，她创立了一个名为“海洋希望”的非营利组织。该组织的使命是提高人们对塑料污染的认识，组织全球海滩清理活动，并与企业合作减少塑料包装。)”可知，珍妮创立“海洋希望”是因为她意识到小团体力量有限，希望通过该组织让更多人参与到海洋环保中，即让全球更多人参与进来。故选A项。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“By 2020, Ocean’s Hope had become a global movement. Volunteers from all over the world participated in cleanups, and companies began adopting more sustainable practices.

But this was not in an AI showroom or lab — the robot was living on a coffee table in a Beijing apartment, along with Xiao Ming. “It’s like a little teacher or a little friend,” the boy said, as he showed his mum the next move he was considering on the chessboard. China is actively employing AI in its bid to become a tech superpower by 2030. DeepSeek, the breakthrough Chinese chatbot that caught the world’s attention in January, was just the first shot of that ambition. Beijing plans to invest 100 billion Chinese yuan ($13.7 billion; €12.9 billion) over the next 15 years as it competes with Washington to gain the edge in advanced tech. AI funding got yet another boost at the government’s annual political gathering, which is currently underway. This comes on the heels of a 60-billion-yuan AI investment fund created in January, just days after the US further tightened export controls for advanced chips and placed more Chinese firms on a trade blacklist. But DeepSeek has shown that Chinese companies can overcome these barriers. And that’s what has surprised Silicon Valley and industry experts — they did not expect China to catch up so soon. “DeepSeek’s rapid rise has caused hostile reactions from some in the West,” a commentary in the state-run Beijing Daily noted, adding that “the development environment for China’s AI models remains highly uncertain.” But China’s AI firms are not discouraged. Rather, they believe thrifty innovation (节俭创新) will win them an undeniable advantage — because it was DeepSeek’s claim that it could rival ChatGPT for a tiny amount of the cost that shocked the AI industry. 28. Why is Xiao Ming mentioned in paragraph 1? A. To lead in the topic. B. To present detailed information. C. To provide an argument. D. To illustrate China’s AI firms. 29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3? A. China has already had many successful AI achievements. B. China invested 100-billion-yuan investment fund in January. C. DeepSeek has suggested China’s determination to cooperate with others. D. DeepSeek was just the first step for China to become a tech giant. 30. What is the attitude of some Western countries towards DeepSeek’s booming? A. Supportive. B. Unfriendly C. Indifferent. D. Admiring. 31. What do we know from the passage? A. Chinese AI firms could outweigh due to its less expense. B. The cost of DeepSeek is much higher than that of ChatGPT. C. China’s AI development will face no difficulty in the future. D. All countries are making joint efforts in the development of AI. 【答案】28. A 29. D 30. B 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了中国在人工智能领域的发展现状，包括AI技术的应用场景、政府的投资规划、中国企业突破技术壁垒的案例，以及面临的国际竞争与挑战。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Eight-year-old Xiao Ming sat with his head in his hands, muttering to himself as he tried to beat an AI-powered robot at a game of chess. (八岁的小明双手抱头坐着，一边喃喃自语，一边试图在国际象棋比赛中击败一个人工智能机器人)”可知，通过描述小明与AI机器人下棋的场景，以具体事例引出中国AI技术已融入日常生活这一话题，进而自然过渡到后文对中国AI发展战略的介绍。故选A项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“DeepSeek, the breakthrough Chinese chatbot that caught the world’s attention in January, was just the first shot of that ambition. Beijing plans to invest 100 billion Chinese yuan ($13.7 billion; €12.9 billion) over the next 15 years as it competes with Washington to gain the edge in advanced tech. (DeepSeek是一款突破性的中国聊天机器人，在1月份引起了全世界的关注，这只是这一雄心壮志的第一步。北京计划在未来15年投资1000亿元人民币（137亿美元；129亿欧元），与华盛顿竞争在先进技术领域的优势)”可知，DeepSeek仅仅是伟大理想的初次实践。故选D项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“DeepSeek’s rapid rise has caused hostile reactions from some in the West. (DeepSeek的迅速崛起引起了西方一些国家的敌对反应)”可知，部分西方国家对其态度是不友好的。故选B项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Rather, they believe thrifty innovation (节俭创新) will win them an undeniable advantage — because it was DeepSeek’s claim that it could rival ChatGPT for a tiny amount of the cost that shocked the AI industry.(相反，他们相信节俭创新将为他们赢得不可否认的优势——因为DeepSeek声称，它可以以极低的成本与ChatGPT竞争，这震惊了人工智能行业)”可知，中国AI企业的优势在于低成本高效能。故选A项。 D Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. Honey is the only food product made by an insect that humans eat. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). A single pound of honey may require a beehive of up to 60,000 bees to visit two million flowers. No wonder some people call it liquid gold! Although amber-colored clover honey tends to be most common, honey comes in a variety of shades and flavors, depending on the flowers that the bees gather nectar (花蜜) from. Honey has been used throughout history in a number of ways. One of the most remarkable things about it is that it never goes bad. It may crystallize, meaning that it becomes solid in parts, but simply warming it slightly will melt the crystals and return the honey to its liquid form. No one knows exactly how long honey has been used by humans, but Spanish cave paintings dated at 7,000BC show early evidence of beckeeping. Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! Besides its many uses as a sweetener, honey has long been used as a medicinal remedy (疗法). Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. Honey is also an effective remedy to relieve a painful throat. It has even been found to be as effective in easing coughs in children. The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. 32. According to the passage, what makes honey unique among the foods that humans eat? A. Its various shades. B. Its natural creation. C. Its delightful sweetness. D. Its remarkable history. 33. Why does the author mention the honey in the Egyptian pyramids? A. To illustrate that it never goes bad. B. To show the cleverness of Egyptians. C. To compare it with the honey in Spain. D. To inform that it originates from Egypt. 34. What is one of the medicinal uses of honey? A. Promoting bacterial growth. B. Curing throat pain. C. Preventing infection in wounds. D. Resisting common colds. 35. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature B. Honey: a Timeless Treasure C. Honey: a Natural Medicinal Remedy D. Honey: a Common Sweetener 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了蜂蜜不只是一种常见的甜味剂，更是一种堪称奇迹的自然产物。通过介绍蜂蜜是由昆虫制造的唯一性、获取过程的不易、在历史长河中的多样用途以及在医学方面的诸多功效等内容，突出强调了蜂蜜的独特价值，呼吁人们重新认识并重视蜂蜜这种来自大自然的“甜蜜奇迹”。 【32题详解】 细节理解题，根据第二段“Honey is the only food product that humans cat that is made by an insect. Even with all our technical abilities, no one has figured out how to make artificial honey. There’s really no substitute (替代品). (蜂蜜是人类食用的唯一一种由昆虫制造的食品。即使我们拥有所有的技术能力，也没有人想出如何制造人造蜂蜜。真的没有替代品。)”可知，蜂蜜是人类食用的唯一由昆虫制造的食物产品，这是它在人类所食用的食物中独一无二的地方，即它的天然形成方式。故选B项。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Honey was also used by the ancient Egyptians as a sweetener, as a gift to the gods, and even as an element used to create mummies. Honey has been found inside the Egyptian pyramids, and although that honey was more than 3,000 years old, it would still taste like honey and be safe to eat. No other food has such lasting power! (蜂蜜也被古埃及人用作甜味剂、送给神的礼物，甚至用作制作木乃伊的元素。在埃及金字塔内发现了蜂蜜，虽然这种蜂蜜已有3,000多年的历史，但它的味道仍然像蜂蜜，可以安全食用。没有其他食物具有如此持久的力量！)”可知，作者提到埃及金字塔里的蜂蜜是为了说明蜂蜜不会变质的这一特性，即便过了三千多年，它尝起来还是蜂蜜的味道且能安全食用，其他食物没有这种持久的特性。故选A项。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第六段中“Because it’s difficult for any kind of bacteria (细菌) to survive in honey, it makes a perfect barrier on cuts and can prevent infection. (因为任何种类的细菌都很难在蜂蜜中生存，所以它在切口上形成了完美的屏障，可以防止感染。)”可知，蜂蜜的药用用途之一是它能在伤口上形成一道屏障，防止感染。故选C项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Honey is a sweet treat that most people take for granted. But it is more than just a topping for cakes or a sweetener for tea. It’s a miracle of sorts. (蜂蜜是一种大多数人认为理所当然的甜食。但它不仅仅是蛋糕的配料或茶的甜味剂。它在某种程度上是一个奇迹。)”可知，蜂蜜不只是人们习以为常的用于蛋糕或茶的东西，而是一种奇迹般的存在，结合最后一段“The next time a bee flies through your garden or you spread some honey on a piece of toast, think about the miracle of honey. (下次蜜蜂飞过您的花园或您在吐司上涂抹一些蜂蜜时，想想蜂蜜的奇迹。)”再次呼吁人们在看到蜜蜂或食用蜂蜜时思考蜂蜜的奇迹之处。综合全文，都是围绕蜂蜜是大自然赋予的一种甜蜜奇迹来展开叙述的，A项“Honey: a Sweet Miracle of Nature”最能概括文章主旨。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可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Learning English can be hard, but don’t give up!

She was always ready to help others. Most importantly, she was honest. One day, when Lily entered the classroom, she saw a crowd looking at something. Lily joined them and found that Peter, her classmate, was showing his newly bought pen to other students. The pen was special and everyone was talking about it cheerfully. Lily was really fond of that pen. She even asked Peter where he bought the pen and she intended to buy one. However, such a pen was too expensive for her — she could only earn her pocket money by helping do housework at home. At that time, the school bell rang. Immediately, all the children rushed to the playground to do morning exercises. When Lily ran out of the classroom, Smith, their math teacher, asked Lily to get some chalk from the classroom. Lily went back to the classroom and found Peter's pen on his desk. She couldn’t help walking to the pen. While Lily was admiring the pen, she heard Smith call her out. In a hurry, she dropped the pen on the floor. She quickly picked it up, put it back and went to give the chalk to Smith. Before Lily ran to the playground, she saw her classmate Mary coming back to the classroom as she was ill. After the morning exercises, everyone went back to the classroom. Just then Peter found his pen was broken and asked who was in the classroom at the time of doing morning exercises. Almost everyone pointed to Mary. When asked whether she had broken Peter’s pen, Mary said no. However, no one could prove her words. Feeling sad, she started to cry. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Lily felt her heart race as she realized what might have happened. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Smith, having heard Lily’s confession（坦白）, praised her honesty. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Lily felt her heart race as she realized what might have happened. Taking a deep breath, she told the truth and said to Peter, “I think I accidentally broke your pen. I shouldn’t have touched it without your permission.

Her face turned red, but before she could continue, the math teacher walked in. Smith, having heard Lily’s confession（坦白）, praised her honesty. “It takes courage to admit a mistake,” Smith said, smiling at Lily. Peter, though upset about his broken pen, chose to forgive Lily for he knew it was an accident. Mary, relieved, gave Lily a grateful hug. Later, Lily promised to save her pocket money to buy Peter a new pen. From that day on, Lily’s classmates admired her even more for her honesty and kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了10岁的莉莉乐于助人且诚实。一天，同学彼得展示新买的钢笔，莉莉很喜欢但因贵买不起。做早操时，莉莉回教室拿粉笔，看到钢笔忍不住去看，匆忙中弄掉钢笔。之后彼得发现钢笔坏了，大家误以为是生病回教室的玛丽弄坏的，玛丽委屈哭泣。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“莉莉意识到可能发生了什么，她感觉自己的心怦怦直跳。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉意识到可能是自己弄坏钢笔后，鼓起勇气向彼得坦白并道歉，也向玛丽道歉，就在她尴尬时，数学老师走进来。 ②由第二段首句内容“史密斯听到莉莉的坦白后，称赞了她的诚实。”可知，第二段可描写老师史密斯表扬莉莉诚实，彼得选择原谅，玛丽感激地拥抱莉莉，莉莉承诺攒零花钱买新钢笔，此后同学们因她的诚实善良更钦佩她。 2.续写线索：莉莉坦白——向两人道歉——老师表扬——彼得原谅——玛丽拥抱——莉莉承诺——同学钦佩 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①坦白：confess /admit ②道歉：apologize /make an apology ③选择：chose /select 情绪类： ①感激的：grateful/appreciative ②尴尬的： face turned red/embarrassed /awkward 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Lily felt her heart race as she realized what might have happened.（运用了 as 引导的时间状语从句，表明莉莉意识到事情时的感受 ） 【高分句型 2】I think I accidentally broke your pen.（运用了省略that的宾语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $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ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Excuse me, may I sit next to you?
