He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who bakes great bread, but he does. Every Saturday he bakes silently by himself. The rest of the week, he’s a car mechanic whose job involves complex lifting, tightening, shaking and hitting. People tend to think of cars as metallic (金属的) members of the family, and Dad seldom lets them down. I kind of understand Dad’s baking routine. Though he’s into the work, customers’ expectation and heavy work weigh him down. When working on the dough (生面团), he returns to a life of ease. I had been feeling stressed out myself since I didn’t qualify for the swim team. I thought Dad had found that and he asked me to help and headed to the kitchen. Though I was surprised, I followed him. Dad took out his mixing bowl, telling me to mix ingredients while he added them. Then he showed me how to process the dough-repeatedly stretching, pounding and folding it. It took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy to finish. But what came next was harder and more surprising — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl. It took an hour to rise. Then we pressed and stretched it, put it into pans and waited another hour for it to double. “It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough,” Dad explained. When the dough rose at its own pace, time seemed to slow down. We could do nothing to speed that. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and started enjoying the time. My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more — appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise. 4. What can we learn about the author’s father? A. He is very talkative. B. He takes no interest in baking. C. He is expert at his work. D. He doesn’t like fixing cars. 5. Why does the author’s father make bread every Saturday? A. To get relaxed. B. To kill the time. C. To pursue his hobby. D. To learn a new skill. 6. What is the most difficult part during baking bread according to the author? A. Measuring ingredients. B. Waiting for the dough to rise. C. Processing the dough. D. Controlling the temperature of the oven. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets of Baking B. Influence of My Father C. A Bread Lesson D. A Surprising Leisure Time C People worldwide are living longer. Today, for the first time in history, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015. Today, 125 million people are aged 80 years or older. By 2050, there will be almost this many (120 million) living in China alone, and 434 million people in this age group worldwide. The pace of population ageing around the world is also increasing dramatically. France had almost 150 years to adapt to a change from 10% to 20% in the proportion of the population that was older than 60 years. However, places such as Brazil, China and India will have slightly more than 20 years to make the same adaptation. A longer life brings with it opportunities, not only for older people and their families, but also for societies as a whole. Additional years provide the chance to undertake new activities such as further education, a new career or a long ignored passion. Older people also contribute in many ways to their families and communities. Yet the extent of these opportunities and contributions depends heavily on one factor: health. There is, however, little evidence to suggest that older people today are experiencing their later years in better health than their parents. While rates of severe disability have declined in high­income countries over the past 30 years, there has been no significant change in mild or moderate disability over the same period. If people can experience these extra years of life in good health and if they live in a supportive environment, their ability to do the things they value will be of little difference from that of a younger person. If these added years are affected by declines physically and mentally, the results for older people and for society are more negative. 8 What does the author want to tell in the first paragraph? A. The whole world is faced with the problem of ageing. B. Some countries witness people live longer than before. C. China has the highest rate of ageing population at present. D. By 2050, over half of the world’s population is ageing. 9. What is the most important for the ageing society? A. The attitude of the older to life. B. The contributions the older make. C. The health of the older people. D. The activities the older take part in. 10. What is the author’s attitude to the ageing world? A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Astonished. 11. What’s the author’s statement about ageing based on? A. His own opinion. B. Some data. C. Causes and effects. D. Comparisons. D “Army ants are very aggressive,” says Isabella Muratore at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. But what’s even more remarkable about them is their architectural expertise. Muratore has been studying how army ants build bridges by linking their bodies, which could give scientists insights into controlling groups of robots. Commonly found in Central America, South America and Africa, the ants search forest floors in long foraging (觅食) lines. When they encounter obstacles — like a gap between leaves or branches — they build a bridge, linking themselves together like a group of monkeys. “The workers will string themselves across that gap, and then other workers will walk on top of them,” Muratore said. “Basically, they create shortcuts to make things easier for the other ants or just to allow them to cross something that they otherwise couldn’t.” But building bridges comes at a cost to the group: the ants occupied with supporting the bridge aren’t available to hunt. Despite individually having small brains, the ants collectively weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge, Muratore said. She found that the ants build bridges where they get the greatest benefit for the smallest number of bodies. “Just like people, we don’t just build one bridge, we have to decide: ‘How is this whole road going to look like across many different obstacles?’” says David Hu, a professor of engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He says this type of research is shedding new light on the collective intelligence of army ants. He compares the individual ants to “neurons (神经元) in a big moving brain”, with no singular ant deciding where to build bridges. The collective decision-making of ants also has implications for human technology. Engineers have already applied swarm behaviors learned from ant research to building algorithms (算法) for self-assembling (自组装的) robots. “It was the grand challenge of robotics for a long time to take a bucket of robot parts and dump it out and have that robot be able to piece itself together and solve sort of bigger problems,” Hu said. “Ants are kind of existence proof that such a robot would actually be able to survive and have a lot of interesting problems to solve in the real world. Ants are really capable of solving these things with really, really little brain power.” 12. Why does Muratore study army ants’ act of bridge-building? A. To design advanced robots. B. To learn about conducting robots. C. To know their architectural skills. D. To understand their behavioral pattern. 13. What can be inferred about the ants’ building a bridge? A. Its building process is time-consuming. B. It depends on the strongest ants’ efforts. C. Its cost outweighs its benefits. D. It makes foraging more efficient. 14. What does the underlined phrase “shedding new light on” in paragraph 3 mean? A Praising. B. Challenging. C. Revealing. D. Tracking. 15. What does Hu intend to explain in the last paragraph? A. The need to learn from army ants. B. The challenges in designing robots. C. The comparison between ants and robots. D. The problems to be addressed by future robots. 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。 Imagine the great challenge in front of you as a big rock.

I’d always laugh along, pretending to be in on the joke. But behind the smile, their words only fueled a quiet fire of self-doubt. This secret shame found a new audience when I met Matt, my new next-door neighbor. We were chatting over the fence one afternoon when he mentioned he enjoyed biking along the lake on weekends. My stomach sank. A familiar, critical voice piped up in my head: “He’s going to think you’re boring. There goes your chance at a friendly neighbor.” I took a deep breath, deciding to confess (坦白) before I got too invested in the budding (萌芽) friendship. “Um, actually, I never learned how to ride a bike,” I said with a weak smile, bracing for the usual gentle teasing. But it never came. Instead, Matt simply nodded with a look of genuine kindness. “Well,” he said, “I’d be happy to teach you sometime. We could start right here on our quiet street.” I was surprised. His offer was so simple, so free of judgment. “Oh, maybe,” I managed to reply, my mind racing. In the following weeks, as we’d wave hello while getting the mail or taking out the trash, Matt would occasionally ask, “So, ready for that biking lesson?” I’d always have an excuse ready. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to learn; past attempts with well-meaning friends had ended in frustration and tears. I was hesitant, afraid of failing again and embarrassing myself in front of someone I now almost see every day. But he stayed patient. His calm support slowly helped my fears go away, little by little. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next day, Matt showed up at my house with a bike in hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After weeks of practice, I have made significant progress. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 南宁三中2025~2026学年度上学期高二段考英语试题 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.

Kasmin Sculpture Garden. B. Olympic Sculpture Park. C. Storm King Art Center. D. Tippet Rise Art Center. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了美国的四个雕塑公园的相关信息。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据Kasmin Sculpture Garden (New York City)部分中“This quiet sculpture garden in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood is far from the crowds. Owned and operated by Kasmin Gallery, this exhibition space can be viewed from the nearby High Line. (这座位于曼哈顿切尔西区的安静雕塑花园远离人群。这个展览空间由Kasmin Gallery拥有和运营，可以从附近的High Line观看。)”可知，Kasmin Sculpture Garden由Kasmin Gallery运营。故选A项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Storm King Art Center (New Windsor)部分中的“Since opening in 1960, it has grown to include dozens of sculptures that change over time. (自1960年开放以来，它已经发展到拥有几十座雕塑，这些雕塑随着时间的推移而变化。)”可知，随着时间的推移而变化的雕塑这是其最显著的特点，是其他几个雕塑公园所不具备的。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Tippet Rise Art Center (Fishtail)部分中“This summer, the ranch will be open to those who are hiking or traveling by bike. (今年夏天，农场将对徒步或骑自行车旅行的人开放。)”可知，该公园今年夏天提倡徒步和骑行。故选D项。 B My dad has watermelon-size muscles and enormous hands. He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who bakes great bread, but he does.

My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more — appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise. 4. What can we learn about the author’s father? A. He is very talkative. B. He takes no interest in baking. C. He is expert at his work. D. He doesn’t like fixing cars. 5. Why does the author’s father make bread every Saturday? A. To get relaxed. B. To kill the time. C. To pursue his hobby. D. To learn a new skill. 6. What is the most difficult part during baking bread according to the author? A. Measuring ingredients. B Waiting for the dough to rise. C. Processing the dough. D. Controlling the temperature of the oven. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets of Baking B. Influence of My Father C. A Bread Lesson D. A Surprising Leisure Time 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章过描述作者与父亲一起烤面包的经历，不仅展示了烤面包的过程，还深刻反映了作者从这一过程中领悟到的人生哲理——学会欣赏时间的缓慢节奏，让事情自然而然地发展。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“People tend to think of cars as metallic (金属的) members of the family, and Dad seldom lets them down.(人们往往把汽车当作家里的金属成员，而爸爸很少让他们失望)”可知，人们往往把汽车当作家里的金属成员，而爸爸很少让他们失望。这表明爸爸在汽车修理工作方面很专业，能够满足客户的需求，所以爸爸是他工作领域的专家。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Though he’s into the work, customers’ expectation and heavy work weigh him down. When working on the dough (生面团), he returns to a life of ease.(虽然他热爱自己的工作，但顾客的期望和繁重的工作还是让他感到压力很大。而在处理生面团的时候，他又回到了轻松惬意的生活状态)”可知，虽然父亲热爱他的汽车修理工作，但顾客的期望和繁重的工作让他感到压力很大。而当他处理生面团时，他又回到了轻松惬意的生活状态。由此可知，父亲每周六烤面包是为了让自己放松，缓解工作带来的压力。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“But what came next was harder and more surprising — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl. It took an hour to rise. Then we pressed and stretched it, put it into pans and waited another hour for it to double. “It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough,” Dad explained.(但接下来的事情更难，也更让人惊讶——什么都不做。我们把面团放回碗里，它需要一个小时才能发酵。然后我们按压、拉伸面团，把它放进烤盘里，再等上一个小时，让它膨胀到原来的两倍大。“很难忍住不把面团直接放进烤箱里，但如果你这么做了，面包就会很硬。”爸爸解释道)”可知，作者认为在烤面包过程中，最困难的部分是等待面团发酵。在等待的过程中什么都不能做，需要有足够的耐心，而人们往往很难忍住不把面团直接放进烤箱。故选B。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章最后一段“My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more — appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise.(我爸爸教我如何烤面包，但我学到了更多的东西——要欣赏时间的缓慢节奏，让面包慢慢发酵)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要讲述了作者因为未入选游泳队而感到压力大，父亲邀请作者一起烤面包。在烤面包的过程中，父亲教作者如何混合食材、处理面团，更重要的是作者从等待面团发酵的过程中领悟到要欣赏时间的缓慢节奏，学会耐心等待。所以选项C“A Bread Lesson(一堂关于烤面包的课)”既包含了父亲教作者烤面包这一行为，又体现了作者从烤面包经历中所学到的人生道理，符合文章主旨。故选C。 C People worldwide are living longer. Today, for the first time in history, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015. Today, 125 million people are aged 80 years or older. By 2050, there will be almost this many (120 million) living in China alone, and 434 million people in this age group worldwide. The pace of population ageing around the world is also increasing dramatically. France had almost 150 years to adapt to a change from 10% to 20% in the proportion of the population that was older than 60 years. However, places such as Brazil, China and India will have slightly more than 20 years to make the same adaptation. A longer life brings with it opportunities, not only for older people and their families, but also for societies as a whole. Additional years provide the chance to undertake new activities such as further education, a new career or a long ignored passion. Older people also contribute in many ways to their families and communities. Yet the extent of these opportunities and contributions depends heavily on one factor: health. There is, however, little evidence to suggest that older people today are experiencing their later years in better health than their parents. While rates of severe disability have declined in high­income countries over the past 30 years, there has been no significant change in mild or moderate disability over the same period. If people can experience these extra years of life in good health and if they live in a supportive environment, their ability to do the things they value will be of little difference from that of a younger person. If these added years are affected by declines physically and mentally, the results for older people and for society are more negative. 8. What does the author want to tell in the first paragraph? A. The whole world is faced with the problem of ageing. B. Some countries witness people live longer than before. C. China has the highest rate of ageing population at present. D. By 2050, over half of the world’s population is ageing. 9. What is the most important for the ageing society? A. The attitude of the older to life. B. The contributions the older make. C. The health of the older people. D. The activities the older take part in. 10. What is the author’s attitude to the ageing world? A. Concerned. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Astonished. 11. What’s the author’s statement about ageing based on? A. His own opinion. B. Some data. C. Causes and effects. D. Comparisons. 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。讲述了当人们的寿命变长之后，在社会面对老龄化时，老年人自身以及对于社会的影响。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一二句“People worldwide are living longer. Today, for the first time in history, most people can expect to live into their sixties and beyond. (全世界的人都活得更长了。今天，这是历史上第一次，大多数人有望活到60岁以上)”以及末句“ By 2050, there will be almost this many (120 million) living in China alone, and 434 million people in this age group worldwide. (到2050年，仅在中国就会有差不多这么多的人(1.2亿)，而全球这个年龄段的人口将达到4.34亿)”可知，第一段主要讲述全世界在面临老龄化问题。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段末句“Yet the extent of these opportunities and contributions depends heavily on one factor: health. (然而，这些机会和贡献的程度在很大程度上取决于一个因素：健康)”可知，老龄化社会最重要的一点是老年人的健康。故选C。 【10题详解】 逻辑推理题。根据最后一段“If people can experience these extra years of life in good health and if they live in a supportive environment, their ability to do the things they value will be of little difference from that of a younger person. If these added years are affected by declines physically and mentally, the results for older people and for society are more negative. (如果人们能够健康地度过这额外的岁月，如果他们生活在一个支持性的环境中，他们做自己珍视的事情的能力将与年轻人相差无几。如果这些增加的年数受到身体和精神衰退的影响，那么对老年人和社会的影响将更加负面)”可知，作者在评价老龄化社会时既讲到了其积极意义也提到了其消极意义。可知，作者的态度是客观中立的。故选B。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“By 2050, the world’s population aged 60 years and older is expected to total 2 billion, up from 900 million in 2015. Today, 125 million people are aged 80 years or older. By 2050, there will be almost this many (120 million) living in China alone, and 434 million people in this age group worldwide.(到2050年，全球60岁及以上人口预计将达到20亿，而2015年为9亿。今天，有1.25亿人年龄在80岁以上。到2050年，仅在中国就会有差不多这么多的人(1.2亿)，而全球这个年龄段的人口将达到4.34亿)”以及第二段“France had almost 150 years to adapt to a change from 10% to 20% in the proportion of the population that was older than 60 years. (法国有近150年的时间来适应60岁以上人口比例从10%到20%的变化)”可知，作者关于老龄化的陈述论断是基于数据。故选B。 D “Army ants are very aggressive,” says Isabella Muratore at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. But what’s even more remarkable about them is their architectural expertise. Muratore has been studying how army ants build bridges by linking their bodies, which could give scientists insights into controlling groups of robots. Commonly found in Central America, South America and Africa, the ants search forest floors in long foraging (觅食) lines. When they encounter obstacles — like a gap between leaves or branches — they build a bridge, linking themselves together like a group of monkeys. “The workers will string themselves across that gap, and then other workers will walk on top of them,” Muratore said. “Basically, they create shortcuts to make things easier for the other ants or just to allow them to cross something that they otherwise couldn’t.” But building bridges comes at a cost to the group: the ants occupied with supporting the bridge aren’t available to hunt. Despite individually having small brains, the ants collectively weigh the costs and benefits of a bridge, Muratore said. She found that the ants build bridges where they get the greatest benefit for the smallest number of bodies. “Just like people, we don’t just build one bridge, we have to decide: ‘How is this whole road going to look like across many different obstacles?’” says David Hu, a professor of engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He says this type of research is shedding new light on the collective intelligence of army ants. He compares the individual ants to “neurons (神经元) in a big moving brain”, with no singular ant deciding where to build bridges. The collective decision-making of ants also has implications for human technology. Engineers have already applied swarm behaviors learned from ant research to building algorithms (算法) for self-assembling (自组装的) robots. “It was the grand challenge of robotics for a long time to take a bucket of robot parts and dump it out and have that robot be able to piece itself together and solve sort of bigger problems,” Hu said. “Ants are kind of existence proof that such a robot would actually be able to survive and have a lot of interesting problems to solve in the real world. Ants are really capable of solving these things with really, really little brain power.” 12. Why does Muratore study army ants’ act of bridge-building? A. To design advanced robots. B. To learn about conducting robots. C. To know their architectural skills. D. To understand their behavioral pattern. 13. What can be inferred about the ants’ building a bridge? A. Its building process is time-consuming. B. It depends on the strongest ants’ efforts. C. Its cost outweighs its benefits. D. It makes foraging more efficient. 14. What does the underlined phrase “shedding new light on” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Praising. B. Challenging. C. Revealing. D. Tracking. 15. What does Hu intend to explain in the last paragraph? A. The need to learn from army ants. B. The challenges in designing robots. C. The comparison between ants and robots. D. The problems to be addressed by future robots. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍军蚁具有搭建活体桥梁的建筑专长，相关研究不仅揭示其集体智慧，还为人类机器人技术的发展提供了借鉴。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Muratore has been studying how army ants build bridges by linking their bodies, which could give scientists insights into controlling groups of robots.(Muratore一直在研究军蚁如何通过连接身体来搭建桥梁，这可能会让科学家们深入了解如何掌控机器人群体。)”可知，Muratore研究军蚁搭桥行为，是为了获取控制机器人集群的相关思路。故选B项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Basically, they create shortcuts to make things easier for the other ants or just to allow them to cross something that they otherwise couldn’t.(基本上，它们会创造捷径，让其他蚂蚁行动更方便，或者只是让它们能够越过原本无法越过的障碍。)”可知，军蚁搭建桥梁是为了创造捷径，帮助同伴跨越障碍，这会让整个群体的觅食过程更高效。故选D项。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“He says this type of research is shedding new light on the collective intelligence of army ants. He compares the individual ants to “neurons in a big moving brain”, with no singular ant deciding where to build bridges.(他说这类研究正在为shedding new light on军蚁的集体智慧带来新的启发。他将单个蚂蚁比作“一个大型移动大脑中的神经元”，没有任何一只单独的蚂蚁决定在哪里搭建桥梁。)”可知，Hu教授通过比喻阐释军蚁的集体智慧，说明相关研究让人们对这一智慧有了新的认识，因此“shedding new light on”意为“揭示、阐明”，与“Revealing”含义相近。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The collective decision-making of ants also has implications for human technology. Engineers have already applied swarm behaviors learned from ant research to building algorithms for self-assembling robots.(蚂蚁的集体决策也对人类技术有启示意义。工程师们已经将从蚂蚁研究中习得的群体行为应用到自组装机器人的算法构建中。)”及Hu教授的表述“Ants are kind of existence proof that such a robot would actually be able to survive and have a lot of interesting problems to solve in the real world. Ants are really capable of solving these things with really, really little brain power.(蚂蚁某种程度上就是实证——这类机器人实际上能够在现实世界中存活，并且会有许多有趣的问题等待解决。蚂蚁确实仅凭极其有限的脑力，就能够解决这些问题。)”可知，他通过说明蚂蚁集体智慧对机器人技术的实际应用价值，意在解释人类有必要向军蚁学习。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。 Imagine the great challenge in front of you as a big rock.

I’d always laugh along, pretending to be in on the joke. But behind the smile, their words only fueled a quiet fire of self-doubt. This secret shame found a new audience when I met Matt, my new next-door neighbor. We were chatting over the fence one afternoon when he mentioned he enjoyed biking along the lake on weekends. My stomach sank. A familiar, critical voice piped up in my head: “He’s going to think you’re boring. There goes your chance at a friendly neighbor.” I took a deep breath, deciding to confess (坦白) before I got too invested in the budding (萌芽) friendship. “Um, actually, I never learned how to ride a bike,” I said with a weak smile, bracing for the usual gentle teasing. But it never came. Instead, Matt simply nodded with a look of genuine kindness. “Well,” he said, “I’d be happy to teach you sometime. We could start right here on our quiet street.” I was surprised. His offer was so simple, so free of judgment. “Oh, maybe,” I managed to reply, my mind racing. In the following weeks, as we’d wave hello while getting the mail or taking out the trash, Matt would occasionally ask, “So, ready for that biking lesson?” I’d always have an excuse ready. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to learn; past attempts with well-meaning friends had ended in frustration and tears. I was hesitant, afraid of failing again and embarrassing myself in front of someone I now almost see every day. But he stayed patient. His calm support slowly helped my fears go away, little by little. 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。 Paragraph 1: The next day, Matt showed up at my house with a bike in hand. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After weeks of practice, I have made significant progress. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1: The next day, Matt showed up at my house with a bike in hand. “Ready to try?” he asked with a warm smile. “No pressure. We’ll just take it slow. ” His calm voice helped me relax a little. We started on the quiet, flat street outside our homes. He held the bike steady patiently explained the basics — how to balance, pedal and brake. I wobbled and fell a lot at first, but Matt never made me feel foolish. Instead, he always ran alongside me. “You’ve got this! Just look ahead!” he encouraged. For the first time, I didn’t feel like I was failing. Paragraph 2: After weeks of practice, I have made significant progress. The feeling was absolutely incredible! I’ll never forget the moment I realized Matt was no longer holding on, and I was pedaling all by myself. A huge smile spread across my face. It felt like pure freedom, with the wind in my hair. That evening, I rode the whole length of our street alone, with Matt cheering from the sidewalk. It was more than just learning a skill; it was a personal victory. Matt, my neighbor and now my true friend, taught me how to ride a bike. But what he truly taught me was confidence I never thought I’d have. 【解析】 【导语】本文以汉娜的学骑自行车经历为线索，讲述了成年后仍不会骑自行车的汉娜因这件事心存自卑，向邻居马特坦白后，马特主动提出教她，而汉娜因过往失败经历一直犹豫，在马特耐心支持下逐渐克服恐惧的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，马特推着一辆自行车出现在我家门口。”可知，第一段可描写马特鼓励汉娜慢慢尝试，讲解骑车基础，在她摇晃摔倒时耐心陪伴鼓励，让她不再觉得自己失败的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“经过几周的练习，我取得了很大的进步。”可知，第二段可描写汉娜实现独自骑车的突破，感受自由与喜悦，领悟到这不仅是学会技能，更是个人胜利，马特还让她收获了前所未有的自信的情景。 2. 续写线索：马特上门教骑车——讲解基础并耐心鼓励——汉娜逐渐适应——几周练习获进步——独自骑车成功——收获自信与感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①讲解基础：explain the basics/clarify the fundamental skills/illustrate the essential points​ ②抓住：hold/grasp ③骑行：ride /cycle /go biking 情绪类 ①放松：relax/ calm down ②自信：confidence/self-assurance/faith in oneself 【点睛】[高分句型1] He held the bike steady and patiently explained the basics — how to balance, pedal and brake.（运用了“疑问词+不定式”结构） [高分句型2] That evening, I rode the whole length of our street alone, with Matt cheering from the sidewalk.（运用了with复合结构作状语） [高分句型3] But what he truly taught me was confidence I never thought I’d have.（运用了what引导主语从句和省略关系词的定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
