It began when 71-year-old Brazilian fisherman Joao found an oil-covered penguin on a Rio de Janeiro beach, close to death. The kindhearted fisherman knew that he could not simply walk away from the poor penguin. So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost. Soon, he decided to name his newfound friend Dindim. Right after Dindim was able to recover, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the sea. However, Dindim would not leave his side. If you are thinking that their one-of-a-kind friendship ended there, then you are in for a big surprise! Apparently, Dindim was so touched by the local fisherman’s kind gesture that it cannot forget about him and considered where he lives as its second home. Hence, each year, Dindim would travel over 5,000 miles just to see and be reunited with Joao, the man who saved its life. In fact, for the past four years, Dindim has already spent 8 months of the year with the kindhearted fisherman in its second home. According to Professor Krajweski, the one who interviewed Joao for Globo TV, Dindim was the first ever penguin that he had encountered to be sweet, thoughtful, and attached to its rescuer. But he has an explanation about such remarkable incident. Meanwhile, this heartwarming story of a unique friendship has made its way to the big screen. In My Penguin Friend, Brazilian director David Schurmann adds creative touches to the true story, sometimes going beyond the original facts. Although Schurmann aimed to subtly (巧妙地)include an environmental message, his main goal was to offer hope and relief to audiences. 4. How did Joao help Dindim? A. He released it into the sea. B. He called nurses to clean it. C. He trained it in learning tricks. D. He helped it to restore strength. 5. What do we learn about Dindim? A. It possessed a good memory. B. It improved its swimming skills. C. It formed a strong bond with Joao. D. It built its second home on the island. 6. What was Schurmann’s primary goal to make My Penguin Friend? A. To uplift viewers. B. To arouse attention. C. To inform audiences. D. To document a story. 7. What message does the story try to convey? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Good deeds bring good returns. C. Every cloud has a silver lining. D Birds of a feather flock together. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了巴西渔民Joao救了企鹅Dindim；Dindim每年都回到他身边。他们的故事被拍成了电影《我的企鹅朋友》，主要是为了给观众希望。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost.(于是，Joao清理了企鹅羽毛上的油，并照顾它恢复健康。他开始照顾这只可怜的企鹅，用鱼喂它以恢复它失去的能量)”可知，Joao清洁企鹅羽毛、喂养它以恢复体力。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Hence, each year, Dindim would travel over 5,000 miles just to see and be reunited with Joao, the man who saved its life. In fact, for the past four years, Dindim has already spent 8 months of the year with the kindhearted fisherman in its second home.(因此，每年，Dindim都要跋涉5000多英里去看望并与救了它一命的人Joao团聚。事实上，在过去的四年里，Dindim每年都有8个月的时间和这位善良的渔民一起住在他的第二个家)”可知， Dindim不愿离开Joao，每年长途跋涉归来相聚，说明二者建立了紧密联系。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Although Schurmann aimed to subtly (巧妙地)include an environmental message, his main goal was to offer hope and relief to audiences.(虽然Schurmann的目的是巧妙地包含环境信息，但他的主要目标是给观众带来希望和宽慰)”可推知，Schurmann制作《我的企鹅朋友》的主要目的是为了鼓舞观众。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章大意以及第三段中“Hence, each year, Dindim would travel over 5,000 miles just to see and be reunited with Joao, the man who saved its life. In fact, for the past four years, Dindim has already spent 8 months of the year with the kindhearted fisherman in its second home.(因此，每年，Dindim都要跋涉5000多英里去看望并与救了它一命的人Joao团聚。事实上，在过去的四年里，Dindim每年都有8个月的时间和这位善良的渔民一起住在他的第二个家)”可知，故事核心是Joao的善举（救助Dindim）换来Dindim的忠诚陪伴（每年归来）。由此推知，这个故事想要传达“善举有善报”这个信息。故选B项。 C A company called Colossal Biosciences has created thick-haired mice that they are calling “Colossal Woolly Mice”. These mice are a step toward the company’s goal of creating the extinct woolly mammoth (猛犸象). Colossal focuses on replacing extinct animals that went extinct long ago. Its main project is to recreate woolly mammoths. These mammoths, which looked like hairy elephants, died out about 4,000 years ago after the last ice age. Colossal isn’t trying to bring woolly mammoths back to life. Instead, it wants to change Asian elephant DNA to create an animal similar to a woolly mammoth. The company believes this could help regain balance to the Arctic environment. Some scientists question this. Actually, working with Asian elephants would be very difficult. They are endangered and take 22 months to have a baby. So, Colossal focuses on mice instead. Mice are more manageable, cost-effective, simpler to handle, and have a quicker reproductive cycle. For the experiment, researchers looked at how woolly mammoths stayed warm, focusing on their long, thick hair. They compared mammoth DNA to elephant DNA. Using CRISPR (a gene-editing technology), they edited mouse DNA to change not just one gene, but as many as seven genes at one time. This made the experiment special. The results were striking. Lead scientist Beth Shapiro said, “We ended up with adorable (可爱的) mice that have longer, woolly, golden coats.” This is good news for Colossal. Since they plan to use elephant DNA to create something like a mammoth, they will need to edit many genes— perhaps as many as 85. The company is pleased that it has been able to target these genes for hair so accurately. Many experts are impressed with Colossal’s ability to edit many genes at once. But not everyone thinks the woolly mice are a big deal. Some people question the company’s plans to bring back extinct animals. They say it might be better to help animals that are currently endangered. However, Colossal believes its work could be of assistance in many situations, including protecting endangered animals. 8. What is the main goal of Colossal Biosciences? A. To create a new kind of mouse called “Colossal Woolly Mice”. B. To change the DNA of Asian elephant. C. To restore extinct animals like woolly mammoth. D. To clone woolly mammoths for scientific research. 9. Why did Colossal choose mice for their experiments? A. They are not in danger of extinction. B. They are cheaper and reproduce faster. C. Their genes are much simpler to target. D. They have a relatively longer lifespan. 10 What does Colossal Biosciences think of its work? A. Fruitless. B. Beneficial. C. Impressive. D. Efficient. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Conservation vs De-extinction: A Modern Dilemma. B. Mice with Golden Coats: A Breakthrough in mammoth recreation. C. Reviving the Past: Colossal Biosciences and the Woolly mammoth Project. D. The Future of Genetic Research: Advancements in CRISPR Technology. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了Colossal Biosciences公司通过基因编辑技术培育厚毛小鼠，以推进复活猛犸象项目的进展。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A company called Colossal Biosciences has created thick-haired mice that they are calling “Colossal Woolly Mice”. These mice are a step toward the company’s goal of creating the extinct woolly mammoth.(一家名为Colossal Biosciences的公司培育出了毛发浓密的小鼠，他们将其命名为“Colossal Woolly Mice”。这些小鼠的培育，是该公司朝着复活已灭绝猛犸象这一目标迈出的一步。)”以及第二段中“Colossal focuses on replacing extinct animals that went extinct long ago.(Colossal公司专注于复原那些早已灭绝的动物，其核心项目便是重现猛犸象。)”可知，Colossal Biosciences的主要目标是复活像猛犸象这样的已灭绝动物。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Actually, working with Asian elephants would be very difficult. They are endangered and take 22 months to have a baby. So, Colossal focuses on mice instead. Mice are more manageable, cost-effective, simpler to handle, and have a quicker reproductive cycle.(实际上，与亚洲象合作将非常困难。它们是濒危动物，而且要22个月才能生下一只小象。所以，Colossal转而关注老鼠。老鼠更容易管理，性价比更高，更容易处理，而且繁殖周期更快。)”可知，Colossal选择老鼠进行实验是因为它们更便宜，繁殖更快。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, Colossal believes its work could be of assistance in many situations, including protecting endangered animals.(然而，Colossal认为其工作可以在许多情况下提供帮助，包括保护濒危动物。)”可知，Colossal Biosciences认为其工作是有益的。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是根据第一段“A company called Colossal Biosciences has created thick-haired mice that they are calling “Colossal Woolly Mice”. These mice are a step toward the company’s goal of creating the extinct woolly mammoth.(一家名为Colossal Biosciences的公司培育出了毛发浓密的小鼠，他们将其命名为“Colossal Woolly Mice”。这些小鼠的培育，是该公司朝着复活已灭绝猛犸象这一目标迈出的一步。)”可知，文章主要讲述了Colossal Biosciences公司通过基因编辑技术培育厚毛小鼠，以推进复活猛犸象项目的进展。因此，C选项“Reviving the Past: Colossal Biosciences and the Woolly mammoth Project(复活过去：Colossal Biosciences和猛犸象项目)”最符合文章主旨，适合用作标题。故选C。 D There’s a famous story about NASA and the Russian space programme. It is said that NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that would write in space. The Russians, on the other hand, just used a pencil. This story isn’t true, but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils. The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans. The pencil that we know, however, got its start in England in 1564. In that year, farmers in a county north of London discovered graphite (石墨), which they called “black lead” and used to mark sheep. There was only one problem: the graphite blackened their hands and clothes. To prevent this from happening, they covered sheep skin around graphite sticks. The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder. At first, they dug out wood and slid the graphite in. Later, though, they put the graphite between two pieces of wood and glued the wood together. Then, in 1662, some Germans learned how to use powdered (粉末的) graphite and began mass-producing pencils. The next major development occurred in the mid-18th century, when war broke out between England and France. Since England had the only source of graphite, France was unable to import the mineral. This led a Frenchman to mix clay (黏土) with the graphite powder that he had. By changing the amount of graphite in the mixture, he could control the hardness and darkness of the pencil. The HB (Hardness and Blackness) system of pencils was thus born. Soon after that, pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere. Pencils are primarily used to write, but they can serve in other roles too. For example, rub a pencil over a newly- bought key to ensure that it slides easily into a lock. This method also works with zippers (拉链) that are repeatedly getting stuck. Additionally, use it as a replacement for a ruler to help you draw straight lines. Today, more than 15 billion pencils are made each year. For many, the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool. Its design may have changed throughout the years, yet its usefulness has allowed it to continue making a mark on our lives. 12. What does the story about the Russian space programme help to show? A. The darkness of pencils. B. The weakness of pencils. C. The hardness of pencils. D. The usefulness of pencils. 13. Who were the first to think of putting the graphite into a wooden holder? A. Italians. B. Germans. C. Englishmen. D. Frenchmen. 14. What made pencils become common everywhere? A. The outbreak of a war. B. The use of glued wood. C. The birth of the HB system. D. The import of the graphite. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The effect of pencils. B. The history of pencils. C. The design of pencils. D. The variety of pencils. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了铅笔的历史、发展、用途及其在人们生活中的持续影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This story isn’t true, but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils.(这个故事不是真的，但它有助于说明铅笔的实用性)”可知，关于俄罗斯太空计划的故事有助于展示铅笔的用处。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder.(意大利人最后想到了把石墨放进一个木架里)”可知，意大利人是第一个想到把石墨放进木架里的人。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“The HB (Hardness and Blackness) system of pencils was thus born. Soon after that, pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere.(HB（硬度和黑度）铅笔系统就这样诞生了。此后不久，铅笔大量生产，并在各地变得普遍)”可知，让铅笔变得无处不在的是HB系统的诞生。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段“The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans.(最早的铅笔是罗马人使用的一根金属棒)”和最后一段“Today, more than 15 billion pencils are made each year. For many, the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool. Its design may have changed throughout the years, yet its usefulness has allowed it to continue making a mark on our lives.(如今，每年生产的铅笔超过150亿支。对许多人来说，铅笔是他们首选的书写工具。随着时间的推移，它的设计可能会发生变化，但它的实用性使它继续在我们的生活中留下印记)”可知，本文介绍了铅笔的历史、发展、用途及其在人们生活中的持续影响。由此可知，B选项“The history of pencils.(铅笔的历史)”能够概括文章主旨。故选B。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Do you sometimes feel like you have a lot to do but very little time to do it?

One day, Ryan, my thirteen-year-old son, approached me and said, “Mom, would you like to join in our bikeathon (自行车马拉松) next month?” As he told me the details of the bikeathon, I laughed out loudly. “What makes you think I could finish a 20-mile bikeathon?” I asked. Ryan looked straight in my eyes and said, “I know you can do it. You can be my iron (铁) mommy.” I almost laughed again. But my son was serious. So I promised him that I would consider it. When I began to think over his invitation, I surprisingly found that it would need months of training and new equipment, and that my bike needed fixing to work again. At that moment, I lost my interest in doing all of that. The next day, I went to kindergarten class. I played a familiar counting song and the kids were struggling to keep up with the beat at first. “Let’s do it again, and this time better. I know you can do it!” There it was again and again, and the kids made it to sing to the beat. Realizing my inspiring words “I know you can do it”, I was determined to have a try for the bikeathon. I told Ryan about it and asked him to give me some tips on how to get ready. I began training hard to get prepared. Then the bikeathon day came on a cool spring morning. Ryan and I set out for the site together. Ryan kept encouraging me on the road. However, as soon as I came to the starting point, which is on a hill overlooking our town and about twenty miles away from the finish line, I became a bit nervous. 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。 Then the bikeathon began. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged by Ryan and other bikers, I regained (重新获得) my energy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文: Then the bikeathon began. As I pushed off down the hill, the wind rushed past my face, and my heart pounded wildly. The first few miles were thrilling, but soon, my legs began to ache, and doubt flashed through my mind. “Can I really make it?” I wondered. I felt like giving up. Every mile ahead became a challenge for me. I slowed down and almost stopped. Ryan, riding beside me, noticed my hesitation. “You’re doing great, Mom! Just keep going!” he said. Besides, other bikers passing by me also cheered me. Encouraged by Ryan and other bikers, I regained (重新获得) my energy. Taking a deep breath, I focused on the beat of my riding, just like how my kindergarten kids followed the beat of the counting song. The pain in my legs was still there, but the cheers around me made it feel lighter. Mile after mile, I pushed forward, repeating Ryan’s words in my head: “You can do it, Iron Mommy!” When I finally crossed the finish line, my heart was filled with pride. I had done it. That day, I truly became Ryan’s “iron mommy”. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了一位40岁的幼儿园教师妈妈，作为自认“毫无运动细胞”的普通女性，在十三岁儿子Ryan邀请她参加20英里自行车马拉松时，第一反应是哈哈大笑地反问“你怎么会觉得我能完成”。当第二天在幼儿园课堂上，她发现自己反复鼓励孩子们“我知道你们能做到”的话语时，突然意识到这恰是儿子对自己说过的“你可以成为我的铁人妈妈”——这个顿悟让她决定接受挑战。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后自行车马拉松开始了。”可知，第一段可描写作者参加自行车马拉松的经过，刚开始比较愉快，但是一度的疲劳让作者想放弃，在作者几乎停下时，收到儿子和同行者的鼓励。 ②由第二段首句内容“在Ryan和其他骑自行车的人的鼓励下，我恢复了体力。”可知，第二段可描写作者克服身体的痛苦，最终完成了比赛而感到自豪。 2. 续写线索：比赛开始——愉快——痛苦——想放弃——鼓励——继续比赛——坚持——完成比赛——自豪 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①开始出发：push off/set off ②注意到：notice/observe/spot/take notice of ③鼓励：cheer/encourage 情绪类 ①令人兴奋的：thrilling/exciting ②自豪：pride /sense of accomplishment 【点睛】[高分句型1]As I pushed off down the hill, the wind rushed past my face, and my heart pounded wildly.(as引导的时间状语从句) [高分句型2]Taking a deep breath, I focused on the beat of my riding, just like how my kindergarten kids followed the beat of the counting song.(how引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度（上）沈阳市第十中学高一期中考试 英语 满分：150分 时间：120分钟 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 A story of friendship between a human and a beast is familiar, but one between a man and a penguin is rare. It began when 71-year-old Brazilian fisherman Joao found an oil-covered penguin on a Rio de Janeiro beach, close to death. The kindhearted fisherman knew that he could not simply walk away from the poor penguin. So Joao cleaned the oil off the penguin’s feathers and nursed it back to health. He started taking care of the poor penguin and fed it with fish to recover the energy it had lost. Soon, he decided to name his newfound friend Dindim. Right after Dindim was able to recover, Joao attempted to release the penguin back into the sea. However, Dindim would not leave his side. If you are thinking that their one-of-a-kind friendship ended there, then you are in for a big surprise! Apparently, Dindim was so touched by the local fisherman’s kind gesture that it cannot forget about him and considered where he lives as its second home. Hence, each year, Dindim would travel over 5,000 miles just to see and be reunited with Joao, the man who saved its life. In fact, for the past four years, Dindim has already spent 8 months of the year with the kindhearted fisherman in its second home. According to Professor Krajweski, the one who interviewed Joao for Globo TV, Dindim was the first ever penguin that he had encountered to be sweet, thoughtful, and attached to its rescuer. But he has an explanation about such remarkable incident. Meanwhile, this heartwarming story of a unique friendship has made its way to the big screen. In My Penguin Friend, Brazilian director David Schurmann adds creative touches to the true story, sometimes going beyond the original facts. Although Schurmann aimed to subtly (巧妙地)include an environmental message, his main goal was to offer hope and relief to audiences. 4. How did Joao help Dindim? A. He released it into the sea. B. He called nurses to clean it. C. He trained it in learning tricks. D. He helped it to restore strength. 5. What do we learn about Dindim? A. It possessed a good memory. B. It improved its swimming skills. C. It formed a strong bond with Joao. D. It built its second home on the island. 6. What was Schurmann’s primary goal to make My Penguin Friend? A. To uplift viewers. B. To arouse attention. C. To inform audiences. D. To document a story. 7. What message does the story try to convey? A. Love me, love my dog. B. Good deeds bring good returns. C Every cloud has a silver lining. D. Birds of a feather flock together. C A company called Colossal Biosciences has created thick-haired mice that they are calling “Colossal Woolly Mice”. These mice are a step toward the company’s goal of creating the extinct woolly mammoth (猛犸象). Colossal focuses on replacing extinct animals that went extinct long ago. Its main project is to recreate woolly mammoths. These mammoths which looked like hairy elephants, died out about 4,000 years ago after the last ice age. Colossal isn’t trying to bring woolly mammoths back to life. Instead, it wants to change Asian elephant DNA to create an animal similar to a woolly mammoth. The company believes this could help regain balance to the Arctic environment. Some scientists question this. Actually, working with Asian elephants would be very difficult. They are endangered and take 22 months to have a baby. So, Colossal focuses on mice instead. Mice are more manageable, cost-effective, simpler to handle, and have a quicker reproductive cycle. For the experiment, researchers looked at how woolly mammoths stayed warm, focusing on their long, thick hair. They compared mammoth DNA to elephant DNA. Using CRISPR (a gene-editing technology), they edited mouse DNA to change not just one gene, but as many as seven genes at one time. This made the experiment special. The results were striking. Lead scientist Beth Shapiro said, “We ended up with adorable (可爱的) mice that have longer, woolly, golden coats.” This is good news for Colossal. Since they plan to use elephant DNA to create something like a mammoth, they will need to edit many genes— perhaps as many as 85. The company is pleased that it has been able to target these genes for hair so accurately. Many experts are impressed with Colossal’s ability to edit many genes at once. But not everyone thinks the woolly mice are a big deal. Some people question the company’s plans to bring back extinct animals. They say it might be better to help animals that are currently endangered. However, Colossal believes its work could be of assistance in many situations, including protecting endangered animals. 8. What is the main goal of Colossal Biosciences? A. To create a new kind of mouse called “Colossal Woolly Mice”. B. To change the DNA of Asian elephant. C. To restore extinct animals like woolly mammoth. D. To clone woolly mammoths for scientific research. 9. Why did Colossal choose mice for their experiments? A. They are not in danger of extinction. B. They are cheaper and reproduce faster. C. Their genes are much simpler to target. D. They have a relatively longer lifespan. 10. What does Colossal Biosciences think of its work? A. Fruitless. B. Beneficial. C. Impressive. D. Efficient. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Conservation vs De-extinction: A Modern Dilemma. B. Mice with Golden Coats: A Breakthrough in mammoth recreation. C. Reviving the Past: Colossal Biosciences and the Woolly mammoth Project. D. The Future of Genetic Research: Advancements in CRISPR Technology. D There’s a famous story about NASA and the Russian space programme. It is said that NASA spent millions of dollars developing a pen that would write in space. The Russians, on the other hand, just used a pencil. This story isn’t true, but it helps illustrate the usefulness of pencils. The earliest form of the pencil was a metal stick that was used by the Romans. The pencil that we know, however, got its start in England in 1564. In that year, farmers in a county north of London discovered graphite (石墨), which they called “black lead” and used to mark sheep. There was only one problem: the graphite blackened their hands and clothes. To prevent this from happening, they covered sheep skin around graphite sticks. The Italians finally thought of putting the graphite into a wooden holder. At first, they dug out wood and slid the graphite in. Later, though, they put the graphite between two pieces of wood and glued the wood together. Then, in 1662, some Germans learned how to use powdered (粉末的) graphite and began mass-producing pencils. The next major development occurred in the mid-18th century, when war broke out between England and France. Since England had the only source of graphite, France was unable to import the mineral. This led a Frenchman to mix clay (黏土) with the graphite powder that he had. By changing the amount of graphite in the mixture, he could control the hardness and darkness of the pencil. The HB (Hardness and Blackness) system of pencils was thus born. Soon after that, pencils were produced in large numbers and became common everywhere. Pencils are primarily used to write, but they can serve in other roles too. For example, rub a pencil over a newly- bought key to ensure that it slides easily into a lock. This method also works with zippers (拉链) that are repeatedly getting stuck. Additionally, use it as a replacement for a ruler to help you draw straight lines. Today, more than 15 billion pencils are made each year. For many, the pencil is their preferred choice for a writing tool. Its design may have changed throughout the years, yet its usefulness has allowed it to continue making a mark on our lives. 12. What does the story about the Russian space programme help to show? A. The darkness of pencils. B. The weakness of pencils. C. The hardness of pencils. D. The usefulness of pencils. 13. Who were the first to think of putting the graphite into a wooden holder? A.

One day, Ryan, my thirteen-year-old son, approached me and said, “Mom, would you like to join in our bikeathon (自行车马拉松) next month?” As he told me the details of the bikeathon, I laughed out loudly. “What makes you think I could finish a 20-mile bikeathon?” I asked. Ryan looked straight in my eyes and said, “I know you can do it. You can be my iron (铁) mommy.” I almost laughed again. But my son was serious. So I promised him that I would consider it. When I began to think over his invitation, I surprisingly found that it would need months of training and new equipment, and that my bike needed fixing to work again. At that moment, I lost my interest in doing all of that. The next day, I went to kindergarten class. I played a familiar counting song and the kids were struggling to keep up with the beat at first. “Let’s do it again, and this time better. I know you can do it!” There it was again and again, and the kids made it to sing to the beat. Realizing my inspiring words “I know you can do it”, I was determined to have a try for the bikeathon. I told Ryan about it and asked him to give me some tips on how to get ready. I began training hard to get prepared. Then the bikeathon day came on a cool spring morning. Ryan and I set out for the site together. Ryan kept encouraging me on the road. However, as soon as I came to the starting point, which is on a hill overlooking our town and about twenty miles away from the finish line, I became a bit nervous. 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。 Then the bikeathon began. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Encouraged by Ryan and other bikers, I regained (重新获得) my energy. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
