B Over the years, as I dealt with the pressure of finishing my Ph. D. and starting my post-doctor, I had grown more competitive. I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators (合作者) became rivals I hated. But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable (脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone. Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition. With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. 24. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach? A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated. C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed. 25. Why did the writer take a break? A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust. C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself. 26. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly. C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever. 27. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty C A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention. 28. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue. C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain. 29. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams. C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better. 30. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans. C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a study on beavers behavior. B To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. D To be clear: Food noise has nothing to do with hunger or food shortage, says Lawrence Cheskin, a professor of nutrition and food studies at George Mason University. It’s about being absorbed in thoughts about food. In an issue of the journal Nutrients, researchers defined food noise as something that can be caused by internal signs such as your stomach growling with hunger or external signs such as seeing or smelling delicious foods. These signs can cause food-related thoughts to start playing on a repetitive cycle. “Imagine you have a picture chart — think about what percentage of the day is spent thinking about food,” says Susan Albers, a clinical psychologist. “For those with a lot of food noise, 80 to 90 percent of their day is spent thinking about food.” “For those with intrusive food noise, it might affect their sleep, or lead to shame around eating or anxious thoughts,” says Goldman. “It can get in the way of someone being able to function at their best.” By contrast, those with mild food noise may hardly notice it. Anyone can experience food noise but people with obesity or overweight often struggle with food noise more than other people do, which can make it difficult to lose weight. Other people include those with an eating disorder or disordered eating pattern. Also, if you have a lot of food rules or you’ve been dieting off and on for years, you may be more likely to experience food noise. “There’s a lot of shame and judgment around food noise,” Albers says. “It can impact relationships, leading to social withdrawal, and reduce people’s engagement in other areas of their life.” Keep in mind, however, that food noise is a common suffering. “Don’t beat yourself up for it. Instead, exercise some self-sympathy,” Goldman suggests. “The way we talk to ourselves matters, so be mindful about what you’re saying to yourself about food noise.” 32. What do we know about the food noise? A. It’s the noise people make while eating. B It’s only for people with weight issues. C. It refers to repeated food thoughts due to signs. D. It’s related to food shortage and causes hunger. 33. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. annoying B. inviting C. available D. unnoticeable 34. How does food noise affect people’s life? A. It leads to severe weight gain. B. It brings about regular eating habits. C. It results in a lack of social activities. D. It causes sleep disorders and overeating. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Being kind to yourself is helpful. B. Food noise is not a serious problem. C. Talking to others about food noise matters. D. People should blame themselves for food noise. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Embracing a Green Lifestyle Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet.

The wind and the rain chilled (使很冷) me to the bone and the sun was yet out to warm up the air. The starting gun would go off any second. I was ready. I was 28 and in the best shape of my life. At least, I thought I was. I ran all the time and had already run several races. But none of them was 26.2 miles. The farthest I had run before was only 15 miles. Still, I was young and overconfident and I knew I could do it. The gun went off and the race started. I was excited and the weather became the furthest thing from my mind. I just concentrated on holding my own position among the other runners. I had no real finishing goal in mind, but when I settled into my pace, I soon worked out that I could easily break 4 hours. Within a few miles, I ran past an elderly runner. He must have been over 70 years old and I was surprised he was even in the race. I was even more surprised that he was still ahead of me. He kept to the side of the road, his old legs moving one in front of the other, slowly but stably. I passed him without giving him a second glance or a word of encouragement. I kept moving. 15 miles came and I was on pace to beat 4 hours. Then something strange happened. I started to get tired. My goal of 4 hours soon got pushed back to 4:10. Then 4:20. Finally, at about the 20-mile mark, I couldn’t run any more. I had to walk. I moved to the side of the road and with difficulty I walked along. I needed a second wind, but it wasn’t coming. The rain was back. There was nothing I could do about it but concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other. Then the elderly man passed me. He looked the same as he had earlier, running at the same speed. As he passed, he looked over at me and smiled, “Only a few more miles to go. Don’t give up now!” 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。 Thinking of being beaten by an elderly man, I moved on. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He crossed the finish line ahead of me and I was soon to follow. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 湖北省2025—2026学年上学期八校期中联考 高三英语试题 本试卷共10页，全卷满分150分，考试用时120分钟。 ★祝考试顺利★ 注意事项： 1、答题前，请将自己的姓名、准考证号、考场号、座位号填写在试卷和答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的制定位置。 2、选择题的作答：每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3、非选择题作答：用黑色签字笔直接答在答题卡对应的答题区域内，写在试卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4、考试结束后，请将答题卡上交。 第一部分 听力 (共两节、满分30分) 做题时先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 Which film does Mary want to see?

B 【解析】 【原文】I am often asked what the defining moment in my life was. Was it opening my first restaurant? Was it serving food to some of the world’s most famous people? Or was it becoming a successful businessman? Well, I would say that none of these things was the right answer. My defining moment was when I left home to study at university. Up until then I was a child. I was well taken care of by my family. My mother was kind and thoughtful. The meals she made were wonderful and gave me the best ideas for my future as a restaurateur. But starting university was a shock. Suddenly, I had to look after myself, pay for what I’ve got, and even cook for myself. I was lost at that moment. How would I manage all the stuff? But I finally did it. I learnt from these difficulties and the experiences made me stronger. I took Mom’s cooking advice and turned it into something new, something that various people have praised me for. Shortly after leaving university, I opened my first restaurant in London. Since then I have opened branches in Paris, New York and many other cities. Now I employ some of the world’s leading chefs, artists in their profession. But it is still the inspiration my mom gave me that is the foundation of my restaurant empire. 第二部分 阅读(共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的 A、B、C 和 D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Participate in Arts Fest 2025!

I pushed myself to be t ho first to generate thrilling results and to publish in high-impact journals. Those who could have been collaborators (合作者) became rivals I hated. But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. Back home, I spent time with family and friends and opened up about my struggles. At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. Vulnerable (脆弱的) researchers were poking their heads out of their shells. Our relationships deepened. I began to feel less alone. Three months later, I was prepared to go back to the science that I loved, and I now had a foundation to be more open with my colleagues. I understood that we all struggle sometimes, and that collaboration can be more powerful than competition. With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. 24. How did the author feel after adopting a competitive approach? A. Empowered and successful. B. Overwhelmed and isolated. C. Motivated and productive. D. Ashamed and annoyed. 25. Why did the writer take a break? A. He was always the last. B. He needed some time to readjust. C. He got serious homesick. D. He failed to care about himself. 26. What does the underlined phrase mean? A. Trying to be open with others. B. Starting to walk out regularly. C. Being more confident in research. D. Tending to be happier than ever. 27. Which can be the most suitable title for the passage? A. From competition to cooperation B. From selfishness to selflessness C. From problems to solutions D. From uncertainty to certainty 【答案】24 B 25. B 26. A 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要叙述了作者面对科研竞争，在求学及工作中变得过于好强，导致压力倍增、孤立无援。经过休整并与人沟通后，作者认识到合作的力量，重拾科研热情，不再孤单。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第二段“But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. (但这种好胜性格的影响与我所希望的完全相反。当我遇到科学问题时，我认为我必须自己解决，而不是寻求帮助。压力变得势不可挡。我开始感到孤独和失落。我的效率越来越低。)”可知，采取竞争方式后，作者感到不堪重负，孤立无援。故选B。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。由文章第三段“I emailed my mentors (导师), explaining that I had put myself second and the job first for too long. They told me that I wasn’t the first academic to feel that way, and that I wouldn’t be the last. They agreed that I should take the time I needed to take care of myself. So, with my mentors’ support and an uncertain future, I left. (我给我的导师发了邮件，解释说我把自己放在第二位，把工作放在第一位太久了。他们告诉我，我不是第一个有这种感觉的学者，也不会是最后一个。他们同意我应该花时间照顾好自己。因此，在导师的支持和不确定的未来下，我离开了。)”可知，作者需要休息是因为他需要一些时间来调整。故选B。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。由第四段“At first, I was ashamed. But the more I talked about my demons, the more other people told me about their own. I also started to receive emails from my workmates. After a few lines asking how I was, many expressed worries about how they were managing the stress of academic life. (起初，我感到羞愧。但我谈论我的恶魔越多，其他人就越告诉我他们自己的恶魔。我也开始收到同事的电子邮件。在问候了我几句之后，许多人表达了他们对如何应对学术生活压力的担忧。)”可知，脆弱的研究者开始向别人敞开心扉，所以划线部分的意思为“试着对他人坦诚相待，向别人敞开心扉”。A. Trying to be open with others尽量与他人坦诚相待；B. Starting to walk out regularly开始定期外出；C. Being more confident in research对研究更有信心；D. Tending to be happier than ever倾向于比以往任何时候都更快乐。故选A。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第二段“But the effect of this competitive character was exactly the opposite of what I had hoped for. When I encountered scientific problems, I thought I had to solve them myself instead of asking for help. The pressure became overwhelming. I began to feel alone and lost. I became less and less productive. (但这种好胜性格的影响与我所希望的完全相反。当我遇到科学问题时，我认为我必须自己解决，而不是寻求帮助。压力变得势不可挡。我开始感到孤独和失落。我的效率越来越低。)”和最后一段“With a bit of time, collaboration has replaced competition. Working with others and seeking help doesn’t weaken my value or contributions; it means we can all win. I no longer feel lonely and unhappy. (随着时间的推移，合作取代了竞争。与他人合作和寻求帮助并不会削弱我的价值或贡献;这意味着我们都能赢。我不再感到孤独和不快乐。)”可知，文章讲述了作者从最初在学术界采取竞争态度导致压力巨大、感到孤独和失去效率，到后来通过与人分享自己的困扰、得到支持并意识到合作的重要性，最终转变为更加开放和合作的态度的过程。因此，“From competition to cooperation (从竞争到合作)”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A。 C A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was, restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wildfire prevention. 28. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It cost significantly less money. B. It used animals to solve the issue. C. It took effect quicker than expected. D. It changed the land into a lively plain. 29 How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They ate the dry bush. B. They protected dams. C. They created water bodies. D. They helped the trees grow better. 30. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are trained to stop wildfire. B. They were threatened by humans. C. They got protected for their roles in ecology. D. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. 31. What is the purpose of this text? A. To present a study on beavers behavior. B. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. C. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. D. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. 【答案】28. C 29. C 30. B 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了人类利用海狸来预防森林野火以及这一做法的效果和海狸的习性。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do.(领导该项目的生物学家达蒙·乔蒂说，他对该项目的结果感到惊讶。他曾估计，海狸需要大约十年的时间才能将该地区干涸的土地恢复到溪流中，但这些动物打破了他的预期。到了第三年，水又回来了。)”可知，乔蒂对这个项目感到惊讶因为效果比预期的要快。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive.(他们在水里很快移动，可以建造水坝，使池塘和湿地，他们可以更好地生存)”可知，海狸建造水体来减少野火的燃料来源。故选C。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. (北美海狸的数量一度因大量狩猎而减少)”可知，北美的海狸受到人类的威胁。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸).(该州的消防工作者和生态学家正在尽一切可能减少潜在的野火燃料来源。面对危险的干燥平原和至少需要100万美元的大型建设项目来修复这个地方，生态学家们做了一些令人惊讶的事情。他们叫来了海狸)”结合文章主要说明了人类利用海狸来预防森林野火，介绍了这一做法的效果以及海狸的习性。可知，这篇文章的目的是介绍利用海狸预防野火的方法。故选D。 D To be clear: Food noise has nothing to do with hunger or food shortage, says Lawrence Cheskin, a professor of nutrition and food studies at George Mason University. It’s about being absorbed in thoughts about food. In an issue of the journal Nutrients, researchers defined food noise as something that can be caused by internal signs such as your stomach growling with hunger or external signs such as seeing or smelling delicious foods. These signs can cause food-related thoughts to start playing on a repetitive cycle. “Imagine you have a picture chart — think about what percentage of the day is spent thinking about food,” says Susan Albers, a clinical psychologist. “For those with a lot of food noise, 80 to 90 percent of their day is spent thinking about food.” “For those with intrusive food noise, it might affect their sleep, or lead to shame around eating or anxious thoughts,” says Goldman. “It can get in the way of someone being able to function at their best.” By contrast, those with mild food noise may hardly notice it. Anyone can experience food noise but people with obesity or overweight often struggle with food noise more than other people do, which can make it difficult to lose weight. Other people include those with an eating disorder or disordered eating pattern. Also, if you have a lot of food rules or you’ve been dieting off and on for years, you may be more likely to experience food noise. “There’s a lot of shame and judgment around food noise,” Albers says. “It can impact relationships, leading to social withdrawal, and reduce people’s engagement in other areas of their life.” Keep in mind, however, that food noise is a common suffering. “Don’t beat yourself up for it. Instead, exercise some self-sympathy,” Goldman suggests. “The way we talk to ourselves matters, so be mindful about what you’re saying to yourself about food noise.” 32. What do we know about the food noise? A. It’s the noise people make while eating. B. It’s only for people with weight issues. C. It refers to repeated food thoughts due to signs. D. It’s related to food shortage and causes hunger. 33. What does the underlined word “intrusive” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. annoying B. inviting C. available D. unnoticeable 34. How does food noise affect people’s life? A. It leads to severe weight gain. B. It brings about regular eating habits. C. It results in a lack of social activities. D. It causes sleep disorders and overeating. 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Being kind to yourself is helpful. B. Food noise is not a serious problem. C. Talking to others about food noise matters. D. People should blame themselves for food noise. 【答案】32. C 33. A 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍“食物噪音”这一概念，包括其定义、表现形式、影响人群以及对人们生活的负面影响，并强调食物噪音是常见现象，建议人们以自我同情的态度来对待它，不要过分自责。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In an issue of the journal Nutrients, researchers defined food noise as something that can be caused by internal signs such as your stomach growling with hunger or external signs such as seeing or smelling delicious foods. These signs can cause food-related thoughts to start playing on a repetitive cycle. (在《营养》杂志的一期中，研究人员将食物噪音定义为可能由内部信号引起的东西，比如你饥饿时肚子咕噜叫，或者外部信号，比如看到或闻到美味的食物。这些迹象会导致与食物有关的想法开始重复循环。)” 可知，食物噪音是由内部（如饥饿时肚子咕噜叫）或外部（如看到或闻到美味食物）信号引起的，这些信号会导致与食物相关的想法开始重复循环。故选C。 【33题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“it might affect their sleep, or lead to shame around eating or anxious thoughts (这可能会影响他们的睡眠，或者导致他们在吃饭时感到羞耻或焦虑)” 可知，对于有这种食物噪音的人来说，它可能会影响睡眠，导致对进食感到羞耻或产生焦虑的想法，由此可推测“intrusive”意思是令人烦恼的，和annoying同义。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““There’s a lot of shame and judgment around food noise,” Albers says. “It can impact relationships, leading to social withdrawal, and reduce people’s engagement in other areas of their life.” (阿尔伯斯说：“人们对食物噪音感到羞耻和评判。“它会影响人际关系，导致社交退缩，减少人们在生活其他领域的参与度。”)” 可知，食物噪音会影响人际关系，导致社交退缩，减少人们对生活其他方面的参与。故选C。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Keep in mind, however, that food noise is a common suffering. “Don’t beat yourself up for it. Instead, exercise some self-sympathy,” Goldman suggests. “The way we talk to ourselves matters, so be mindful about what you’re saying to yourself about food noise.” (记住，食物噪音是一种常见的痛苦。“不要为此自责。相反，锻炼一下自我同情，”戈德曼建议。“我们对自己说话的方式很重要，所以要注意你对自己说的关于食物噪音的话。”)” 可知，食物噪音是一种常见的困扰，不要为此自责，要对自己有同情心，我们对自己说的话很重要。故推断善待自己是有帮助的。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Embracing a Green Lifestyle Living a green lifestyle is not only beneficial for the environment but also for your health and wallet.

The wind and the rain chilled (使很冷) me to the bone and the sun was yet out to warm up the air. The starting gun would go off any second. I was ready. I was 28 and in the best shape of my life. At least, I thought I was. I ran all the time and had already run several races. But none of them was 26.2 miles. The farthest I had run before was only 15 miles. Still, I was young and overconfident and I knew I could do it. The gun went off and the race started. I was excited and the weather became the furthest thing from my mind. I just concentrated on holding my own position among the other runners. I had no real finishing goal in mind but when I settled into my pace, I soon worked out that I could easily break 4 hours. Within a few miles, I ran past an elderly runner. He must have been over 70 years old and I was surprised he was even in the race. I was even more surprised that he was still ahead of me. He kept to the side of the road, his old legs moving one in front of the other, slowly but stably. I passed him without giving him a second glance or a word of encouragement. I kept moving. 15 miles came and I was on pace to beat 4 hours. Then something strange happened. I started to get tired. My goal of 4 hours soon got pushed back to 4:10. Then 4:20. Finally, at about the 20-mile mark, I couldn’t run any more. I had to walk. I moved to the side of the road and with difficulty I walked along. I needed a second wind, but it wasn’t coming. The rain was back. There was nothing I could do about it but concentrate on putting one foot in front of the other. Then the elderly man passed me. He looked the same as he had earlier, running at the same speed. As he passed, he looked over at me and smiled, “Only a few more miles to go. Don’t give up now!” 注意： 1.续写词数应150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Thinking of being beaten by an elderly man, I moved on. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ He crossed the finish line ahead of me and I was soon to follow. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Thinking of being beaten by an elderly man, I moved on. As I said, I was young and proud, and this little setback didn’t matter much to me. So, I was determined to finish it. The elderly man had run ahead of me, but I could still see him in the distance. I tried to catch up with him, but no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t getting any closer. I would not give in. Soon, I was running at a good pace with my second wind, but the elderly man still stayed just out of my reach. He crossed the finish line ahead of me and I was soon to follow. I never had such mixed emotions. I was proud of finishing the marathon, but I was angry with myself for being beaten by the elderly man. It was only later on that I realized how much I admired him. I’ll never forget the senior citizen runner who put the proud 28-year-old in his place. Some day I hope to be like him, running marathons in my 70’s and passing all those first-times as they struggle to finish. I’ll make sure to give them encouragement. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者参加马拉松比赛，刚开始作者认为自己28岁，正处于人生的最佳状态，一定可以完成比赛。经过一位70多岁的跑者时，作者超过他，没有再看他一眼，也没有鼓励他。大约20英里时，作者感觉很累，不得不走路了。老人从作者身边经过，鼓励作者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“想到被一位老人打败，我继续前行。”可知，第一段可描写作者下定决心继续完成比赛，努力想追上老人，但是仍然没有追上。 ②由第二段首句内容“他在我前面冲过终点线，我很快就跟上了。”可知，第二段可描写作者意识到对老人的钦佩，以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索： 作者继续前行——努力想追上老人——继续跑，但没有追上老人——作者感觉复杂——作者的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①下决心：be determined to do/decide to do/make up one’s mind to do ②完成：finish/complete ③钦佩：admire/respect 情绪类 ①复杂的情绪：mixed emotions/ complex feelings ②生气：angry/ furious 【点睛】【高分句型1】I tried to catch up with him, but no matter how hard I tried, I wasn’t getting any closer.（运用了no matter how引导的让步状语从句） 【高分句型2】I’ll never forget the senior citizen runner who put the proud 28-year-old in his place.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。What's on at the movies?
