河北省2025-2026学年高三上学期12月期中英语试题

听力部分 第一部分 听力 Text 1 M: Pardon me, could you tell me the price of this biology reference book? W: It’s $60. Students with a student ID can get a 10% off. M: Fantastic! Here is my ID. Text 2 M: I’m sorry, Lisa. I didn’t realize you were waiting in the hall since 3:30 p.m. I lost track of time during the workshop. W: That’s all right. I should have texted you that I finished work early today. No problem at all. Text 3 M: Hi, Lily. How’s the debate club’s sign-up going? W: We’ve made some progress, but Ms. Wang suggested we add more interactive activities. She said simple posters aren’t enough. M: What did you decide to do then? W: We’ll set up a mini debate showcase during lunch break. Text 4 W: Honey, is our dinner reservation at 6:00 p.m. tonight? I’m afraid I might be late. M: No, I called the restaurant this morning. They had a staff shortage, so it’s moved to 7:30 p.m. W: Oh! Then I can finish my work report first and then meet you there. Text 5 W: Did you get your notebook back? M: Yes, after searching everywhere. It was under the sofa. I clearly remember placing it on the table, but my little brother often moves things around when he’s playing. I can’t leave anything important in the living room anymore. Text 6 W: Have you tried the new office printer? It’s supposed to be faster. M: Yes, but I’m having trouble with it. It keeps breaking down when I print multiple pages. W: Really? I thought it was designed to handle large print jobs easily. M: Me, too. It works fine for single pages, but as soon as I print 10 or more, it gets stuck. W: Maybe we should check it carefully — maybe the paper is loaded incorrectly. M: I already tried that. I think we need to call the repair team. W: Please do it now. Text 7 W: Welcome to our program, Mr. Green. You’re the founder of an environmental organization fighting plastic pollution. M: Thank you for having me. I'm glad to talk about this important issue. W: What made you start this organization? Your school teachers or your parents? M: Well, actually, several years ago, I saw a documentary about marine animals harmed by plastic waste. It shocked me deeply. I knew I had to do something to reduce plastic use. W: What's the biggest challenge your organization faces? M: Changing people's habits. Many people are used to single-use plastics and don't realize the harm. W: What's your future plan to address this problem? M: We'll work with local schools to teach students about plastic pollution. Text 8 M: Hi, Sarah. I'm preparing for the school English speech contest. But I'm stuck. W: Oh, what's the problem? Is it the topic or the content? M: The topic is "Youth and Responsibility", but I can't find good examples to support my ideas. W: Why not talk about young volunteers in community service? They're great examples of responsibility. M: That's a good idea! But I'm also worried about my speech structure. It feels disorganized. W: I have some speech documents from last year's contest, which I can lend to you. M: Really? That would be wonderful! Thank you so much. And I'm nervous about my pronunciation — some long words are hard to say clearly. W: You can record yourself practicing, then listen and correct mistakes. It worked for me last year. M: That's a smart tip! I'll try it tonight. W: No problem. I'll bring the documents to you after class tomorrow. Text 9 W: Hi, Alex! Fancy seeing you here — didn’t expect to run into you at this café. How's everything been since we last met at Lily's home birthday party? M: Hi, Mia! It's so good to see you. Things have been pretty busy but great — I switched jobs last month. Remember how I wanted to try visual design? W: Oh, right! You were always talking about turning your hobby into work. How's the new role treating you? M: It's rewarding — my team is awesome, and I get to work on fun projects. What about you? Still loving that weekend pottery class you joined? W: Absolutely! I just finished a small vase for my mom — she absolutely loves it. You should come to check out the pottery studio sometime! They offer trial classes, and it's such a relaxing way to unwind. M: I'd love to! When is your next class? W: This Saturday afternoon — we'll be making coffee cups. No experience needed, I promise. Want to join? M: Definitely! Send me the studio address? W: Will do! Can't wait to have you there. M: Perfect! After the class, we can grab dinner nearby. W: Agreed! I know a little Italian place that serves the best pizza. Text 10 M: George found a poster at the local community center about a weekend science project, but his mom was unsure. She thought it might be too difficult and that he should rest after a week of classes. The poster didn’t give many details. It just said participants should be curious. These kinds of hands-on projects are becoming common for students in the city. Different centers offer different themes — some focus on robots, some on simple chemistry. George joined the project with two classmates on Sunday. At 2:00 p.m., they started working. They built small model cars, tested them on different surfaces, and learned about basic physics. Three hours later, they finished the project. George returned home before 6:00 p.m. His mom was relieved to see him back early and so excited. George said, “It was amazing to see how things work in real life. I didn’t expect it to be so interesting! I’ll definitely go back next week — learning by doing is so much fun!” 1 ~ 5 AABCB 6 ~ 10 ABBCA 11 ~ 15 CCBCB 16 ~ 20 AABCB 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三年级期中考试 英语试卷 全卷满分150分。考试用时120分钟。 注意事项： 1. 答题前，先将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上，并将准考证号条形码粘贴在答题卡上的指定位置。 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，写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 3. 非选择题的作答：用签字笔直接写在答题卡上对应的答题区域内。写在试题卷、草稿纸和答题卡上的非答题区域均无效。 4. 考试结束后，请将本试题卷和答题卡一并上交。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分20分) 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1分，满分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。 例：How much is the shirt?

B When I first stepped into Gaelscoil Dhún Dealgan, an Irish-medium school located in Dundalk, I felt a quiet unease about picking up what so many labeled a “dying language” — it grew from the simple fact that I, like most of my classmates, had no history of speaking Irish at home, and I’d heard only 1.2 million people worldwide still used it. Little did I know this would mark the start of an amazing journey to safeguard a precious cultural treasure. We learned math, history and traditional songs all in Irish, and as days passed, the once-strange words gradually felt natural. Ireland now has 291 Gaelscoil schools, with 48,684 students in 2023 – 2024, accounting for 8% of primary school population. Duolingo, a popular language app among us students, reports over 1 million weekly active Irish learners globally. After class, I often turned to TikTok, where the #Gaeilge tag has hit 117 million views; from the platform, I learnt creators like@seamboysean, who has 170,000 followers, made educational Irish-language videos, while the group Kneecap used their music to show the language’s trendy and energetic side. The government requires that public bodies respond to public communications in the language they receive and integrate Irish into their logos (标识). Even buses and trains across Ireland now feature bilingual (双语) stop announcements, making the language visible in daily life. In the school, I often joined the community campaign for Irish language rights. We also celebrated Seachtain na Gaeilge (Irish Language Week) in March, joining bilingual walks and music events that brought people of all ages together. Last month, my class performed an Irish play at a local festival, and seeing kids from English-speaking families clapping and cheering filled me with great pride. Now, Irish is not just a school subject but a part of our music, daily chats and public services. This experience taught me that endangered languages can survive and grow when young people adopt them with passion and receive strong policy support. 24. Which word best describes the author’s initial feeling at the school? A. Confused. B. Amazed. C. Excited. D. Worried. 25. What do the statistics in paragraph 2 indicate regarding the Irish learning? A. The learning effectiveness. B. The author’s useful approaches. C. The people’s great interest. D. The support from social platforms. 26. What does the author highlight about the efforts to promote Irish? A. The combined official and public efforts. B. The younger generation’s role modeling. C. The popularity of national bilingual walks. D. The reduction of English usage in all fields. 27. What is the suitable title for the text? A. The Key to Irish Language Survival B. A Personal Irish Learning Journey C. Policy Impacts on the Irish Language D. Challenges and Hopes Irish Faces C Not successful enough for senior leadership roles but too experienced (and expensive) for the front-line positions artificial intelligence (AI) hasn’t replaced, many mid-career professionals of America’s workforce suddenly find themselves in no-man’s-land. Many major companies like Amazon and Target have announced white-collar staff reductions recently. Gone are the days when employers would reserve talented employees or worry about being understaffed for the good times. When a job description calls for 10 to 15 years of experience, 25-year seasoned professionals aren’t necessarily seen as better-than-expected prospects. They’re often viewed as applicants who will ask for too much money and leave as soon as they find better opportunities. However, we ought to be aware of the real circumstances of overqualified job applicants in daily life. Some people want less responsibility than in previous roles and are willing to take pay cuts accordingly. Others have been out of work for months and have no desire to job hop once they finally get hired. Anthony Nigbur, 41, was a top healthcare program manager. He’s been job hunting since May, with a recruiter (招聘专员) submitting him for roles. “He’s told me the feedback about his experience: ‘This guy has all this experience, but we don’t need it or know how to use him,’” says Nigbur. He wishes to explain to prospective employers why he’d take a job that seems beneath him on paper. That’s because he’s willing to take the lead parenting role as his wife, a nurse, has upped her hours and travel. The way companies have cut middle management is so striking that a new study projects a shortage of 2.9 million managers in 2032. By then, middle management will be a hot job again, the study predicts. That doesn’t do people like Nigbur much good today. Experienced sales manager Anne Marie Sterling found that playing down her experience was a key to landing her current job at a solar energy company. The 55-year-old Florida resident tells me she had to “play dumb”. “That happens a lot in job interviews. There’s no doubt about it,” she says. 28. What do we know about overqualified candidates in the US job market? A. They’ll be easily replaced by AI. B. They’ve held senior leadership roles. C. They’re struggling to get hired now. D. They’re highly valued by companies. 29. What’s the author’s attitude to employers’ views on overqualified job seekers? A. Unclear. B. Doubtful. C. Tolerant. D. Disapproving. 30. What can be inferred about Nigbur? A. He hasn’t landed an interview. B. He needs the professional experience. C. He’s already had a well-paid job. D. He doesn’t want to be a househusband. 31. What do the underlined words “play dumb” in paragraph 5 probably mean? A. Keep the peace. B. Tell the truth. C. Act less capable. D. Stay more independent. D Farms might soon have a new helper that never needs a lunch break. Agricultural robots are inching closer to becoming practical farm hands, thanks to a new navigation (导航) system developed by researchers in Japan. These robots can now autonomously travel between high-bed cultivation (栽培) rows, like those used for growing strawberries, without relying on costly extra tools or perfect positioning systems. Rather than expensive GPS systems or having to putting special markers in fields, these robots use a straightforward approach that copies how humans navigate: They keep a consistent distance from the crop beds while moving, adjusting as they go. When the robot moves between general areas, it uses “waypoint navigation” to reach pre-defined spots. Near crop rows, it switches to “cultivation bed navigation”, using a laser scanner (激光扫描) to maintain a specific distance to the beds. This new approach lets robots move accurately through farm rows, even where GPS and other positioning tools perform poorly. Between strawberry rows, a robot's sensors detect limited distinctive features, making accurate self-location difficult. Using cultivation beds as a reference, the robot can move accurately without perfect self-localization. Testing the system in actual greenhouses was a little bit more challenging. Unlike factories with flat floors and consistent lighting, farms have uneven ground, changing light conditions, and even blowing plastic sheets that can confuse sensors sometimes. Despite this, the robot successfully navigated its way around. But the traditional navigation methods took over three times as long and often left the robot confused, stopping, turning around, or even backing up just to figure out where it was. Today's farmers are struggling to find enough workers to plant, tend, and harvest crops, especially on smaller farms. In many countries, aging rural populations, and declining interest in agricultural work have made seasonal labor hard to come by. As a result, growers are increasingly turning to automation to fill the gap, hoping technologies like agricultural robots can help keep their operations running. 32. What is one of the features of the agricultural robots? A. They can reduce operating costs greatly. B. They have their own positioning system. C. They place special field markers alone. D. They can work as a GPS device anytime. 33. What must an agricultural robot do to move accurately between crop rows? A. Pre-set its target spot in advance. B. Equip itself with waypoint navigation. C. Employ the cultivation beds as guides. D. Find out its location in the crop rows. 34. Why was the field testing on the new navigation system difficult? A. It took much more time than the old one. B. The greenhouses were too standardized. C. Its sensors were always confused easily. D. The farmland environment was complex. 35. What does the last paragraph imply about the agricultural robots? A. Their high development costs. B. Their potential commercial value. C. Their future theoretical foundation. D. Their impacts on human employment. 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。 Inclusion is more than just a word; it is a way of living that helps us build a kinder world. At its heart, inclusion means accepting and respecting people. __ 36 __ When we choose to be inclusive, we choose to listen with an open heart and see differences not as barriers, but as opportunities to learn. __ 37 __ Imagine working on a group project where one student has difficulty expressing ideas in clear English. Instead of leaving that person aside, we could give him/her patience and support. We might try to understand his/her point of view or help him/her find the right words. By doing so, the team's work becomes stronger because everyone contributes. In daily life, inclusion matters just as much. Think about a situation where someone has a different opinion from yours. __ 38 __ Maybe they grew up in a different culture or had life experiences that you have not had. Listening with kindness can turn a disagreement into a meaningful conversation. Of course, it does not mean you must always agree, but you show respect for their right to think differently. These acts of inclusion, both big and small, bring significant benefits. __ 39 __ This supportive environment allows individuals to share their unique ideas and talents freely. In such a space, teamwork improves, friendships grow stronger, and the entire community becomes more harmonious and creative. Ultimately, the practice of inclusion makes the world around us a better place. __ 40 __ A. Inclusion is important in families. B. Everyone has different ideas about respecting others. C. In our studies, inclusion does play a very important role. D. They create an atmosphere of belonging where everyone feels safe. E. Rather than ignoring them, you could try to see why they think that way. F. This applies even when they are different from us in their ideas or backgrounds. G. All these gains show inclusion is the key to personal growth and a better society. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分40分) 第一节 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Lena was proud of her neat, tidy backyard garden, a symbol of order and control.

I walked through the main gate with my big suitcase and a crumpled (皱的) note in my hand — Mom stayed up late the night before writing directions to the check-in room. She even drew little stars next to places like the “big tree” and “red notice board”. But nothing looked like what she wrote. My family moved to this town only a week ago, and the school’s hallways seemed like never-ending mazes (迷宫). Students rushed by. Some carried backpacks with the school’s sign, others laughed and held each other’s arms. Their noise made my chest feel tight. I held the note harder, my hands sweating. Being late on the first day was my biggest fear, and the clock on the wall already said 8:15. Check-in was supposed to start at 8:30. Then, a voice pulled me out of my worry: “Hey, you look stuck.” I turned around and saw a tall boy, who held some Hiking Club papers and smiled so warmly that it made me less worried. “I’m Leif. Did you get lost on your first day?” I nodded fast and held out the note. “I can’t find the check-in room.” Leif took a quick look, and then said, “Oh, they moved the red notice board last month! Follow me — I know a short way.” As we walked, he introduced the big school to me. Suddenly, Leif stopped at a door with a “Hiking Club” sign taped on it. “Wait here for some time, okay?” he said, tapping the door. “I left my compass (指南针) here last weekend. We often went hiking in the woods — my mom bought it for me. She said she’d worry if I didn’t have it. Last Saturday we stayed out until sunset, and I totally forgot to take it home. It’s not special or expensive, but it’s saved me from getting lost many times.” 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 listened, but I felt so nervous — the check-in time was coming soon. I froze when Leif gave me the compass as a welcome gift before he left. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 英语参考答案及解析 第二部分 阅读 第一节 A 【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了一个面向全球教育工作者的实践社区活动。活动旨在帮助教育者在自我关怀与设定健康界限的同时培养共情能力。活动包含三次90分钟课程，有来自世界各地的教育者共同探讨共情科学，参与者完成课程可获得徽章和专业发展学分。 21.

D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“When I first stepped into Gaelscoil Dhún Dealgan … I felt a quiet unease about picking up what so many labeled a ‘dying language’”可知，作者刚到学校时，对于学习爱尔兰语这种被很多人认为即将消亡的语言感到隐隐不安，也就是担忧。故选D。 25. C 【解析】推理判断题。第二段显示：爱尔兰现在有291所盖尔语学校，2023~2024年有48,684名学生，占小学人口的8%。全球每周有超过100万活跃的爱尔兰语学习者。TikTok上的#Gaeilge标签点击量已达1.17亿次，这些数据表明有很多人在学习爱尔兰语。由此可推知，人们对爱尔兰语学习有浓厚的兴趣。故选C。 26. A 【解析】推理判断题。第三段作者谈到：政府要求公共机构用收到的语言回复公众通信，并将爱尔兰语融入其标识中。甚至爱尔兰各地的公共汽车和火车现在都使用双语站名播报，使这种语言在日常生活中可见。在学校里，有为爱尔兰语权利开展的活动；有爱尔兰语周，有双语徒步旅行和音乐活动。由此可推知，作者强调了政府和公众在推广爱尔兰语方面所做的努力。故选A。 27. B 【解析】主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者自己在盖尔语学校学习爱尔兰语的经历，从一开始的担忧，到后来在学习过程中感受到爱尔兰语学习的情况，以及参与推广爱尔兰语的活动等。由此可推知，B项最适合作文标题。故选B。 C 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了美国职场中资历过高(overqualified)的中年求职者面临的困境。他们因经验多、薪资要求高而被企业拒之门外，既不适合高层职位，又“超配”于基层岗位，成了尴尬的一个群体。 28. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第一段“many mid-career professionals of America’s workforce suddenly find themselves in no-man’s-land”以及第二段可知，许多中年职场人士发现自己处于一个尴尬的境地，而许多大公司最近也宣布了白领员工的裁员计划。当一份工作要求10到15年的工作经验时，有25年经验的资深人士未必会被视为超出预期的理想人选。他们往往会被看作是那些会要求过高薪资，而且很快会离职的人。这表明这些资历过高的候选人目前在就业市场上面临困难。故选C。 29. D 【解析】推理判断题。根据第三段“However, we ought to be aware of the real circumstances of overqualified job applicants”可知，作者在第二段陈述了雇主对资历过高的求职者的负面看法后，用“However”进行转折，并列举事实（如有人愿意降薪、不想跳槽）来反驳这些看法。由此可推知，作者认为雇主的观点是片面且错误的，因此持不赞成的态度。故选D。 30. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第四段“He’s been job hunting since May, with a recruiter (招聘专员) submitting him for roles.”可知，他一直在通过招聘专员申请职位，接着引用招聘专员转述的有关他经历的反饋，说明这种反饋应该来自简历筛选阶段；再结合“He wishes to explain to prospective employers why he’d take a job that seems beneath him”可推知，他尚未有机会直接向雇主解释，进一步暗示他连面试都很难进入。由此可推知，他还没有获得面试机会。故选A。 31. C 【解析】词义猜测题。根据画线短语前“playing down her experience was a key to landing her current job”可知，Anne Marie 发现淡化自己的经验是找到工作的关键。紧接着她说自己不得不“play dumb”，因此，这里的“play dumb”与前文的“playing down her experience”意思相近，指在求职时表现得没有实际那么有能力，即“装傻”或“表现得更差”。故选C。 D 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。日本研究人员开发的新导航系统让农业机器人更实用。它们无需昂贵的工具或完美的定位系统就能在作物行间准确移动。实地测试虽遇挑战，但比传统方法高效。因劳动力短缺，农业机器人具有潜在的商业价值，有望帮助农场持续运转。 32. A 【解析】推理判断题。根据第二段“These robots can now autonomously travel between high-bed cultivation（栽培）rows, like those used for growing strawberries, without relying on costly extra tools or perfect positioning systems.”可知，这些机器人现在可以在高垄栽培行之间自主移动，比如种植草莓的栽培行，无需依赖昂贵的额外工具或完美的定位系统。由此可推知，这些农业机器人可以大大降低运营成本。故选A。 33. C 【解析】细节理解题。根据第三段“Using cultivation beds as a reference, the robot can move accurately without perfect self-localization.”可知，农业机器人以栽培床为参照物，可以在没有完美自我定位的情况下准确移动，即农业机器人要想准确地在作物行之间移动，必须以栽培床为导向。故选C。 34. D 【解析】细节理解题。根据第四段“Testing the system in actual greenhouses was a little bit more challenging. Unlike factories with flat floors and consistent lighting, farms have uneven ground, changing light conditions, and even blowing plastic sheets that can confuse sensors sometimes.”可知，在实际温室中测试该系统更具挑战性，与拥有平坦地面和一致照明的工厂不同，农田地面不平，光照条件不断变化，甚至还有飘动的塑料布会干扰传感器，即对新导航系统的实地测试很困难是因为农田环境复杂。故选D。 35. B 【解析】推理判断题。根据最后一段“Today’s farmers are struggling to find enough workers to plant, tend, and harvest crops, especially on smaller farms. In many countries, aging rural populations … hoping technologies like agricultural robots can help keep their operations running.”可知，如今的农民很难找到足够的工人来种植、照料和收获作物，尤其是在较小的农场，在许多国家，农村人口老龄化以及对农业工作兴趣的下降使得季节性劳动力难以获得，因此，种植者越来越多地求助于自动化来填补这一空白，希望农业机器人等技术能够帮助他们的业务持续运转。由此可推知，最后一段暗示了农业机器人具有潜在的商业价值。故选B。 第二节 【语篇导读】本文是一篇说明文。文章深入探讨了包容作为一种生活方式的重要性，分析了包容在构建更友善世界中的重要作用。 36. F 【解析】前文提到包容不仅仅是一个词，而是一种生活方式，它的核心是接受和尊重他人。后文提到当我们选择包容时，我们选择用开放的心态去倾听，把差异视为学习的机会，而不是障碍。因此，本空应该在谈包容适用于那些与我们在想法或背景上不同的人，与前后文相呼应。故选F。 37. C 【解析】本段以一个小组项目为例，说明在学习中包容的重要性。当一个学生难以用清晰的英语表达想法时，我们应该给予耐心和支持，而不是忽视他。通过这样做，团队的工作会变得更强，因为每个人都做出了贡献。因此，本段应该在谈包容在学习中的重要作用。故选C。 38. E 【解析】本段讨论在日常生活中包容的重要性。当有人与你意见不同时，你应该尝试去理解他们的观点，而不是忽视他们。这种善意的倾听可以将分歧转化为有意义的对话。因此，本空应该在谈如何处理与他人的意见分歧，E项“与其忽视他们，你不如试着去理解他们为什么那样想。”与前后文相符合。故选E。 39. D 【解析】前文提到包容的行为，无论大小，都会带来显著的好处。后文提到这种支持性的环境允许个人自由地分享他们独特的想法和才能。因此，本空应该在谈包容的行为创造了一种归属感的氛围，与前后文相衔接。故选D。 40. G 【解析】本段总结了包容的好处，包括团队合作的改善、友谊的加深以及整个社区变得更加和谐和有创造力。最后，包容的做法使我们周围的世界变得更美好。因此，本空应该在总结：所有这些好处都表明包容是个人成长和更美好社会的关键，与全文相呼应。故选G。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节 【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。Lena 以花园整洁有序为傲，新邻居 Nabil 的花园风格迥异且植物蔓延到她的空间，这让她恼怒。但 Nabil 的热情分享与文化介绍让 Lena 逐渐消气，她意识到了自己的狭隘，明白真正的和谐始于心墙倒塌。 41.

Conventional 69. contradictory 70. shortage 71. embarrassed 72. assessment 73. entirely 74. vividly 75. assumption 第四部分 写作 第一节 One possible version: Dear Peter, I’m Li Hua, a senior high school student in China. I’m writing to apply to participate in your International Language Exchange Winter Camp. I have long been passionate about language communication and eager to practice English in real cross-cultural interactions. I have a good command of English, with excellent grades in exams and fluent spoken English. Besides, being outgoing, warm-hearted and self-reliant, I can fit in well with people from different backgrounds. I would be grateful if you could consider my application and give me this precious opportunity. Looking forward to your early reply. Yours sincerely, Li Hua 第二节 One possible version: I listened, but I felt so nervous — the check-in time was coming soon. I kept looking at my watch, thinking, “What if I miss the check-in time?” My hands even shook a little. But I didn’t say a word. Leif was being nice to help me, a total stranger. I told myself to wait calmly. After several minutes, he came out with his compass. He held it tightly and said, “Let’s go! We won’t be late!” Soon, we got to the check-in room. We made it on time! I took a big breath and felt better. I froze when Leif gave me the compass as a welcome gift before he left. He said, “I went to the Hiking Club just to get this compass for you. I thought it could help you not get lost here.” I was so surprised that I didn’t know what to say. Tears almost came to my eyes. I took the compass carefully. It wasn’t just a small tool — it felt like a big hug from a new friend. That day, I didn’t just find the check-in room. I found my first real friend at Northwood High School. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
