At 65, I thought we should be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the scruffy mutt with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake. Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a frantic creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the mocking question, “Who’s walking who?” Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting, “Casey!” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together. Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking of his tags keeping time with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love. The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home. 4. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog? A. Scared. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Frustrated. 5. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning? A. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore. B. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. C. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach. 6. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Cease. B. Unfold. C. Fade. D. Develop. 7. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey? A. A positive attitude. B. A close friendship. C. A sense of belonging. D. A cure for restlessness. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了作者从最初抗拒养狗，到在与狗狗Casey的相处中逐渐理解、爱上它，并从这段关系中获得平静的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the mocking question, “Who’s walking who?” (我感到疲惫又挫败，还总听到嘲讽的疑问：“到底是谁在遛谁？”)”可知，作者最初遛狗时的感受是挫败的。故选D项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. (她解释说Casey是猎犬，天生就爱捕猎)”可知，Casey表现不好，是因为它无法抗拒爱捕猎、爱探索的天性。故选A项。 【6题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. (慢慢地，混乱开始____。我们不再像敌人一样，而是以团队的方式一起散步。我懂了它的习惯，他开始对我的声音作出反应)”可知，人与狗之间的紧张、混乱状态逐渐改善，此处abate表示“减弱，平息，消退”，与“Fade (逐渐消失)”意思相近。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. (然而，最珍贵的礼物是平静。我以前总是睡不安稳)”以及“my worries melt away with his steady breath. (我的烦恼渐渐消散了)”可知，作者从Casey那里得到的最珍贵礼物是缓解了失眠的困扰。故选D项。 C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced？ A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings. C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升，并展望其全球应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. (按照传统，他要在苏格兰国家医疗服务体系(National Health Service)获得专家预约，需要等待很长时间)”可知，在引入人工智能程序之前，Robert Campbell遇到的问题是他不得不等很长时间才能预约到专家，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. (短短几分钟内，该系统便给出了自动评估结果，以极高的准确率检测出了疾病的细微迹象，这一举措有效绕过了传统流程中的瓶颈环节，将专家级的筛查服务直接带到了社区)”可知，RetinaScan AT的主要优势是它为社区提供了快速准确的筛查，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Dr. Eleanor Reed所说的“By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss. (通过承担大量初始筛查工作，它们确保人类专家能够将自身技能专注于复杂诊断和治疗方案的制定，最终防止可预防的视力丧失情况发生)”可知，埃莉诺·里德博士称人工智能平台为“游戏规则改变者”是因为它们负责初步筛选，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantedness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert,who require urgent specialist care. (这项技术基于深度学习构建。人工智能接受了数十万张由眼科医生先前标注过的视网膜图像的训练，通过这一过程，它学会了识别糖尿病眼病的关键指标，且识别的一致性不受人为因素影响。它的主要作用是筛查：高效地识别出健康患者，并标记出像罗伯特这样需要紧急专科护理的患者)”可知，本文介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升，并展望其全球应用前景，主题始终围绕AI如何变革眼科护理，所以“人工智能如何改变眼部护理？”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it? Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries. However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. Once researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately. In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it. The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought. This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By making a comparison. B. By presenting a puzzle. C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher. 13. What is the key finding of the European researchers’ study? A. Plant cells contain special proteins that respond to light. B. Arabidopsis has a unique genetic structure for light sensing. C. Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues. D. Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction. 14. What is the significance of the research findings? A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants’ passive growth pattern. C. They challenge traditional views of plants. D. They confirm Aristotle’s theory about plants. 15. What might be the future impact of this research? A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors. C. Stronger leaf formation. D. More robot production. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了植物向光生长的古老谜题，阐述了研究意义与未来影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段首句“For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? (两千多年来，科学家和哲学家一直被一个简单的问题困扰：没有眼睛的植物，是如何向光生长的？)”可知，文章开篇即提出一个困扰科学家和哲学家两千多年的简单问题：“植物没有眼睛，如何向光生长? ”，以此引出主题。这种方式是通过呈现一个长期存在的谜题来吸引读者兴趣。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light (植物细胞间的气隙会散射光线)”以及““It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately. (“这就像植物有数千个微型透镜。”这种散射让茎部的光强产生细微差异，使植物能精准定位光的方向)”可知，研究的核心发现是植物利用细胞间气隙作为微型透镜来探测光的方向。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. (这些发现不仅解开了古老谜题，还挑战了亚里士多德认为植物是被动的观点)”可知，该研究的意义在于挑战了关于植物的传统认知。故选C项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics. (了解这些机制能帮助我们更深入了解植物与世界的互动方式，甚至可能启发光传感和机器人领域的新技术)”可知，该研究未来可能推动更好的光传感器的研发。故选B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。 Although driving your car is likely second nature, a successful road trip is more than just shifting your vehicle to “drive”.

As a non-native speaker placed in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I felt lost from the start. The rapid English in the hallways was a blur, and in class, I struggled to form even the simplest sentences, often met with puzzled looks from my peers. My name, unfamiliar to American ears, became a source of quiet embarrassment. Classmates would hesitate before attempting it, sometimes giggling at their own mispronunciation. Though no harm was meant, each time it happened, I felt a little more invisible. The tension peaked one Tuesday in the crowded cafeteria. A boy from my class, surrounded by his friends, deliberately twisted my name into a mocking sound. “What kind of name is that? ” he asked loudly. When I nervously asked him to repeat himself, the entire table burst into laughter. The heat rushed to my face, and I stared at my tray, fighting back tears. It was a small moment, but it was the last straw. From then on, I avoided the cafeteria entirely, seeking shelter anywhere quiet. That led me to the school library, a haven of silence and order. It was there I met Anthony, the librarian, whose calm presence and gentle smile made me feel welcome without a word. I started spending every lunch hour there, tucked into a corner table. Day after day, I watched Anthony. I saw how patiently he helped other students find books, his low, steady voice never rushing them. He’d sometimes catch my eye and give a small, understanding nod, but he never pressured me to speak. It was in that quiet consistency that a fragile sense of safety began to grow. Slowly, the idea that he might actually help me stopped my feeling so terrifying. One afternoon, I finally gathered the courage to approach him, holding out a book about pirates I couldn’t understand. 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。 “I need help, ” I whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, I was participating in class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 “I need help, ” I whispered. He didn’t laugh or dismiss me. Instead, Anthony took the book, his eyes kind. “Pirates are a great place to start, ” he said, his voice as steady as I’d always imagined. He opened it, not to the dense text, but to a vibrant illustration of a ship. “Ship, ” he said slowly, pointing. Then, “Ocean. ” He looked at me, inviting me to repeat them. The words felt strange and thick on my own tongue, but his patience made the silence feel safe, not awkward. In that first meeting, he handed me the key to a language I thought would forever lock me out. Soon, I was participating in class. The first time I raised my hand to answer a question, my heart hammered so loudly that I barely heard my own voice. It was a simple question about the story we were reading, and I used a word Anthony had taught me — “journey. ” The teacher, who was used to my silence, gave me a warm, surprised smile and said, “Excellent. ” There were no puzzled looks that day, only quiet acknowledgment. It wasn’t a dramatic transformation, but a beginning. I was no longer just the invisible ESL student; I was slowly becoming a part of the class. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了移民美国的作者因英语不佳和名字特殊在学校倍感孤立，后在图书馆管理员Anthony的帮助下逐渐突破语言障碍、融入班级的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““我需要帮忙，”我小声说。”以及第二段首句内容“不久后，我开始在课堂上主动参与。”可知，第一段可描写作者向Anthony求助，并得到了帮助，作者终于打开了语言之门。 ②由第二段首句内容“不久后，我开始在课堂上主动参与。”可知，第二段可描写作者开始主动参与课堂，慢慢地成为了班级的一份子。 2.续写线索：作者主动向Anthony求助——Anthony赞扬了作者的选择，并且开始耐心地向作者解读那本书——慢慢地，作者开始学会那些单词——第一次的交流为作者打开了语言之门——不久，作者开始主动参与课堂——从一开始的低声不自信，到作者慢慢地展现出自信，并得到老师的鼓励——作者发现自己终于融入了新班级 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/ begin ②想象：imagine/ picture ③习惯了：be used to/ get accustomed to 情绪类 ①尴尬的：awkward/ embarrassed ②困惑的：puzzled/ bewildered 【点睛】【高分句型1】In that first meeting, he handed me the key to a language I thought would forever lock me out.（运用了省略关系代词的定语从句） 【高分句型2】The first time I raised my hand to answer a question, my heart hammered so loudly that I barely heard my own voice.（运用了the first time引导的状语从句和so…that…引导的状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 浙江强基联盟2025年12月高三联考 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，每段对话读两遍。 1.

B When my husband Paul persuaded me to adopt a dog, I was full of doubts. At 65, I thought we should be planning trips, not picking up dog hair. I never believed I could love a dog, especially not the scruffy mutt with a torn ear from the shelter. I agreed only for Paul’s sake. Casey burst into our lives like a storm. Our morning walks became a daily struggle. His powerful nose guided him, pulling me toward every piece of forgotten pizza or chicken nugget on the ground. The sight of a squirrel turned him into a frantic creature, leaping and howling, while I tried desperately to hold him back. I felt exhausted and defeated, often hearing the mocking question, “Who’s walking who?” Hope arrived with Laurie, a young dog trainer. She explained that Casey was a hound — born to hunt. Laurie taught us not to yell in panic, but to use a firm, confident voice to break his focus. I practiced shouting, “Casey!” with authority, something that had always been hard for me. When he listened, he would get a treat and a “Good boy”. It was a new language we were learning together. Slowly, the chaos began to abate. We started walking together not as enemies, but as a team. I learned his habits, and he began to respond to my voice. The constant pulling turned into a gentle rhythm except for an occasional excited one, the clinking of his tags keeping time with my steps. My frustration softened into understanding, and then, into love. The greatest gift, however, was peace. I had always been a restless sleeper. One sleepless night, I found Casey sound asleep on the couch, breathing deeply and calmly. I lay my head on his warm chest, and for the first time, felt my worries melt away with his steady breath. This unexpected companion, once a source of anxiety, had quietly taught me how to find rest and acceptance. He was no longer just Paul’s dog; he had become the heart of our home. 4. How did the author initially feel about walking the dog? A. Scared. B. Doubtful. C. Indifferent. D. Frustrated. 5. Why did Casey behave badly during walks at the beginning? A. He couldn’t resist his nature to explore. B. He wasn’t familiar with the routes well. C. He couldn’t concentrate without a trainer. D. He didn’t like the author’s initial approach. 6. What does the underlined word “abate” in paragraph 4 mean? A. Cease. B. Unfold. C. Fade. D. Develop. 7. What was the greatest gift the author received from Casey? A. A positive attitude. B. A close friendship. C. A sense of belonging. D. A cure for restlessness. C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced？ A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings. C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? D For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it? Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment — almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries. However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. Once researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction accurately. In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it. The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment — without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought. This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world — and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics. 12.

Light intensity varies significantly in different plant tissues. D. Plants use air channels as tiny lenses to detect light direction. 14. What is the significance of the research findings? A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants’ passive growth pattern. C. They challenge traditional views of plants. D. They confirm Aristotle’s theory about plants. 15. What might be the future impact of this research? A. Faster plant growth. B. Better light sensors. C. Stronger leaf formation. D. More robot production. 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。 Although driving your car is likely second nature, a successful road trip is more than just shifting your vehicle to “drive”.

As a non-native speaker placed in English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, I felt lost from the start. The rapid English in the hallways was a blur, and in class, I struggled to form even the simplest sentences, often met with puzzled looks from my peers. My name, unfamiliar to American ears, became a source of quiet embarrassment. Classmates would hesitate before attempting it, sometimes giggling at their own mispronunciation. Though no harm was meant, each time it happened, I felt a little more invisible. The tension peaked one Tuesday in the crowded cafeteria. A boy from my class, surrounded by his friends, deliberately twisted my name into a mocking sound. “What kind of name is that? ” he asked loudly. When I nervously asked him to repeat himself, the entire table burst into laughter. The heat rushed to my face, and I stared at my tray, fighting back tears. It was a small moment, but it was the last straw. From then on, I avoided the cafeteria entirely, seeking shelter anywhere quiet. That led me to the school library, a haven of silence and order. It was there I met Anthony, the librarian, whose calm presence and gentle smile made me feel welcome without a word. I started spending every lunch hour there, tucked into a corner table. Day after day, I watched Anthony. I saw how patiently he helped other students find books, his low, steady voice never rushing them. He’d sometimes catch my eye and give a small, understanding nod, but he never pressured me to speak. It was in that quiet consistency that a fragile sense of safety began to grow. Slowly, the idea that he might actually help me stopped my feeling so terrifying. One afternoon, I finally gathered the courage to approach him, holding out a book about pirates I couldn’t understand. 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。 “I need help, ” I whispered. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Soon, I was participating in class. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
