B Just under a quarter of the runners in the men’s marathon (马拉松) at the 1968 Mexico City Olympic Games failed to finish. It was a hard race. The city’s punishing altitude (海拔) made a big contribution. But John Stephen Akhwari, a 30-year-old from a farming family in Tanzania, was going to make it to the finish line. “I never thought of stopping. My only goal was to finish the race,” Akhwari said. Like many of the runners, Akhwari had not had any high-altitude training. Mexico City’s nearly 2,300-metre altitude caused even the strongest muscles (肌肉) to cramp (痉挛) painfully. However, worse— much worse— was to come. As a group of runners fought for position, Akhwari was knocked to the ground by a participant. Despite the old man now cheerily saying that he had “minor injuries”, reports from 1968 suggest that time has made people forget the severe pain the Tanzanian must have felt. Akhwari not only hurt his shoulder and cut his knee deeply, he also dislocated this knee joint. But, after receiving “first aid” as he puts it, the bandaged Akhwari set off for the finish line. Those on the streets of the Mexican capital soon realized what they were seeing. “The crowd was clapping and cheering; they encouraged me a lot to finish the race,” said the man who walked into the Olympic Stadium (体育场) almost exactly 60 minutes after winner Mamo Wolde had gone through the gates. Several thousand members of the audience had perhaps heard that something special was about to happen, and remained in place. “I was obviously very happy because I managed to finish the race, but also I experienced some pain in my body due to the fall. At the finish line, a journalist asked why I did not give up when I knew I had no chance to win. My answer was, ‘My country did not send me to Mexico City to start the race; they sent me 5,000 miles to finish the race.’” 4 What made the 1968 marathon a hard race? A. The twisty-turny route. B. The punishing weather. C. The strong competitors. D. The high-altitude host city. 5. Why did a large audience stay to watch Akhwari finish? A. They wanted to see the winner. B. They doubted the race’s outcome. C. They wanted to show their admiration. D. They expected some special performances. 6. What is expressed in Akhwari’s statement in the last paragraph? A. His devotion to national duty. B. His desire for personal improvement. C. His competitiveness against opponents. D. His confidence in his country’s winning. 7. What is the main message of Akhwari’s story? A. Winning requires support. B. Challenges lead to growth. C. Perseverance defines success. D. Honour prioritises personal health. C Published in the journal Sleep by Mary Carskadon at Brown University, Rhode Island and her colleagues, a new paper set out to answer an age-old riddle: why do teenagers stay up so late, and why is it so hard to get them out of bed in the morning? Existing theories held that teens’ preference for waking up and staying up later was driven up by social forces — the pressures of school and the pleasures of partying. Carskadon, however, suspected that biological (生物的) factors might be responsible. To test that guess, she surveyed 2,000 schoolchildren across the US on their preferred and actual bedtimes and wake times, the times of day when they felt most or least energetic, and their physical development. The results pointed to biology. Sixth-graders (aged 11 or 12) scored higher on “eveningness” and lower on “morningness” than younger children, even though they were in the same social environment. Therefore, Carskadon and her team concluded, the practice of ringing the morning bell earlier at middle schools (for 11-to 13-year-olds) and high schools (for ages 14 to 18) than at elementary schools “may run counter to children’s biological needs”. In response, a growing number of US cities began pushing back start times in middle and high schools. In 2019, California became the first US state to pass laws based on those guidelines. This May, Florida became the second. Meanwhile, school districts from Australia to South Korea have started similar reforms. This is certainly a significant step towards improving teens’ mental and physical health. Yet later school start times alone may not be sufficient to stop teenagers from sleeping late. If teens are staying up till dawn on their phones, or socioeconomic factors make it difficult to access a comfortable bed in a quiet, dark room, even a 10 am start can do little good. That is why some people argue that courses teaching evidence-based practices that promote and enhance sleep should be added to school curriculums (课程). In small studies, researchers at the University of Oxford have found that such courses can significantly improve sleep quality, even for children from low-income households who initially reported poor sleep. 8. What did Carskadon and her colleagues try to confirm? A. The true causes of teens’ late sleep. B. The problems with existing theories. C. The effective ways to wake up teens. D. The impact of late sleep on teens’ learning. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “run counter to”in paragraph 3? A. go against B. agree with C. account for D. focus on 10. What is the attitude of the authorities towards Carskadon’s conclusion? A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unconcerned. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Evidence-based sleep education counts. B. Sleep education fails to work as expected. C. Sleep courses do little good to poor children. D. Sleep education in schools is easy to promote. D It’s a pleasant summer morning. A line of poplar trees (白杨树) stands in the gentle wind. Insects buzz and fly among the branches. Everything seems calm and peaceful. But don’t be fooled. These trees are actually under attack as hungry insects chew (咀嚼) on their leaves. The trees can’t hide, and they can’t run away. But they aren’t helpless — The trees can quickly message their neighbors: “We’re under attack! Get ready to protect yourself!” All of this happens in ways we don’t see. But scientists are learning that plants can do many things we link with thinking. They can even form memories. One famous study used a plant called Mimosa pudica. Known for being “sensitive,” it curls its leaves when it’s touched. The researchers potted up dozens of these plants. Then they dropped each Mimosa 60 times in a row. The plants weren’t harmed by the drop. It was short, with a soft landing. And they curled their leaves — but only the first few times. Pretty quickly, they stopped reacting. Just to be sure the plants weren’t too tired to fold their leaves, the researchers shook the plants. Now they curled their leaves right away. But when dropped again, they didn’t curl them. A month later, they tried the experiment again. The plants still didn’t curl their leaves after being dropped. They had formed long-lasting memories. Does this mean that plants are intelligent? Some scientists think so. Others are not so sure. The problem may come from how we explain words like “thinking” and “intelligence”. Still, this is now a big debate among plant experts. Take a look at a tree in your garden. It won’t ever be able to pass your math exam. Even if you talk to it every day, it won’t learn your name. But when it comes to doing the things that matter to it as a plant, it’s remarkable. And it does all that without a nervous system. 12. What do we know about the poplar trees in the first paragraph? A. They are warning humans. B. They are being eaten by insects. C. They are adjusting to the weather. D. They are enjoying the environment. 13. Why did the researchers choose Mimosa pudica for the experiment? A. It grows much faster than other plants. B. It can communicate with nearby plants. C. It naturally remembers past experiences. D. It shows clear responses to what happens to it. 14. Why did the researchers shake the Mimosa plants? A. To test their health. B. To check for tiredness. C. To observe their flowers. D. To examine possible harm. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To discuss plants’ intelligence. B. To study plant survival strategies. C. To explain insects’ attacks on trees. D. To compare different plant species. 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。 Preventing your mind from aging has many advantages.

The girl was a reader. She would make her weekly trip to the yellow library. frequently, she went into the library in search of interesting new books. As the young librarian stamped the due dates on the ten-year-old’s choices, the little girl looked longingly at “The New Book” displayed on the counter. She was amazed again at the wonder of writing a book and having it honored like that, right there for the world to see. On that particular day, she had a goal. “When I grow up,” she said, “I’m going to be a writer. I’m going to write books.” The librarian looked up from her stamping and smiled, not with the condescension (傲慢) so many children receive, but with encouragement. “When you do write that book,” she replied, “bring it into our library and we’ll put it on display, right here on the counter.” The little girl promised she would. As she grew, so did her dream. She got her first job in ninth grade, writing brief personality profiles, which earned her $1.50 each from the local newspaper. The money palled (索然无味) in comparison with the magic of seeing her words on paper. A book was a long way off. She edited her high-school paper, married and started a family, but the desire to write burned deep. She got a part-time job covering school news at a weekly newspaper. It kept her brain busy as she balanced that with her babies. But no book. Then her family moved to a faraway place, but her dream of writing and publishing a book never changed. She went to work full time for a major daily, and even tried her hand at magazines. Still no book. Finally, she believed she had something to say and managed to write her first book. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She sent it to publishers hopefully, but it was rejected. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking her published book, Jann flew to the yellow library. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋季学期高二年级期中教学质量监测 英语试卷 （试卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

It was a hard race. The city’s punishing altitude (海拔) made a big contribution. But John Stephen Akhwari, a 30-year-old from a farming family in Tanzania, was going to make it to the finish line. “I never thought of stopping. My only goal was to finish the race,” Akhwari said. Like many of the runners, Akhwari had not had any high-altitude training. Mexico City’s nearly 2,300-metre altitude caused even the strongest muscles (肌肉) to cramp (痉挛) painfully. However, worse— much worse— was to come. As a group of runners fought for position, Akhwari was knocked to the ground by a participant. Despite the old man now cheerily saying that he had “minor injuries”, reports from 1968 suggest that time has made people forget the severe pain the Tanzanian must have felt. Akhwari not only hurt his shoulder and cut his knee deeply, he also dislocated this knee joint. But, after receiving “first aid” as he puts it, the bandaged Akhwari set off for the finish line. Those on the streets of the Mexican capital soon realized what they were seeing. “The crowd was clapping and cheering; they encouraged me a lot to finish the race,” said the man who walked into the Olympic Stadium (体育场) almost exactly 60 minutes after winner Mamo Wolde had gone through the gates. Several thousand members of the audience had perhaps heard that something special was about to happen, and remained in place. “I was obviously very happy because I managed to finish the race, but also I experienced some pain in my body due to the fall. At the finish line, a journalist asked why I did not give up when I knew I had no chance to win. My answer was, ‘My country did not send me to Mexico City to start the race; they sent me 5,000 miles to finish the race.’” 4. What made the 1968 marathon a hard race? A. The twisty-turny route. B. The punishing weather. C. The strong competitors. D. The high-altitude host city. 5. Why did a large audience stay to watch Akhwari finish? A. They wanted to see the winner. B. They doubted the race’s outcome. C. They wanted to show their admiration. D. They expected some special performances. 6. What is expressed in Akhwari’s statement in the last paragraph? A. His devotion to national duty. B. His desire for personal improvement. C. His competitiveness against opponents. D. His confidence in his country’s winning. 7. What is the main message of Akhwari’s story? A. Winning requires support. B. Challenges lead to growth. C. Perseverance defines success. D. Honour prioritises personal health. 【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述1968年墨西哥城奥运会马拉松选手阿克瓦里，在受伤情况下坚持完赛，诠释坚持精神的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“It was a hard race. The city’s punishing altitude (海拔) made a big contribution.(这是一场艰难的比赛。这座城市严酷的海拔高度是主要原因)”可知，墨西哥城高海拔是导致马拉松比赛艰难的关键因素。故选D项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段中的“Those on the streets of the Mexican capital soon realized what they were seeing. “The crowd was clapping and cheering; they encouraged me a lot to finish the race,” said the man who walked into the Olympic Stadium (体育场) almost exactly 60 minutes after winner Mamo Wolde had gone through the gates. Several thousand members of the audience had perhaps heard that something special was about to happen, and remained in place.(墨西哥首都街头的人们很快就明白自己看到的是什么景象。“众人鼓掌欢呼，他们给了我很大鼓励，让我坚持跑完了比赛。” 这位男子说道。他走进奥林匹克体育场时，距离冠军马莫・沃尔德冲过终点线刚好过去了近 60 分钟。数千名观众或许事先听说会有特别的事情发生，因此一直留在原地等候。)”以及前文阿克瓦里受伤后仍坚持参赛的情况可知，观众留下是想见证他坚持完赛这一特别的时刻，以此表达敬佩之情。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“My country did not send me to Mexico City to start the race; they sent me 5,000 miles to finish the race.(我的国家派我去墨西哥城不是为了开始比赛，而是派我走5000英里去完成比赛)”可知，阿克瓦里的话体现了他对国家责任的坚守，认为完成比赛是自己的使命。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。文章讲述了Akhwari在比赛中摔倒受伤，在面临身体受伤的巨大痛苦时没有放弃，坚持到终点，最终完成了比赛的故事。他的故事体现了坚持不懈的精神，这种精神让他在艰难的情况下完成了比赛，并获得了观众的认可，完美体现了奥林匹克精神，取得了另一种成功。故事主要传达“坚持铸就成功”的道理。故选C项。 C Published in the journal Sleep by Mary Carskadon at Brown University, Rhode Island and her colleagues, a new paper set out to answer an age-old riddle: why do teenagers stay up so late, and why is it so hard to get them out of bed in the morning? Existing theories held that teens’ preference for waking up and staying up later was driven up by social forces — the pressures of school and the pleasures of partying. Carskadon, however, suspected that biological (生物的) factors might be responsible. To test that guess, she surveyed 2,000 schoolchildren across the US on their preferred and actual bedtimes and wake times, the times of day when they felt most or least energetic, and their physical development. The results pointed to biology. Sixth-graders (aged 11 or 12) scored higher on “eveningness” and lower on “morningness” than younger children, even though they were in the same social environment. Therefore, Carskadon and her team concluded, the practice of ringing the morning bell earlier at middle schools (for 11-to 13-year-olds) and high schools (for ages 14 to 18) than at elementary schools “may run counter to children’s biological needs”. In response, a growing number of US cities began pushing back start times in middle and high schools. In 2019, California became the first US state to pass laws based on those guidelines. This May, Florida became the second. Meanwhile, school districts from Australia to South Korea have started similar reforms. This is certainly a significant step towards improving teens’ mental and physical health. Yet later school start times alone may not be sufficient to stop teenagers from sleeping late. If teens are staying up till dawn on their phones, or socioeconomic factors make it difficult to access a comfortable bed in a quiet, dark room, even a 10 am start can do little good. That is why some people argue that courses teaching evidence-based practices that promote and enhance sleep should be added to school curriculums (课程). In small studies, researchers at the University of Oxford have found that such courses can significantly improve sleep quality, even for children from low-income households who initially reported poor sleep. 8. What did Carskadon and her colleagues try to confirm? A. The true causes of teens’ late sleep. B. The problems with existing theories. C. The effective ways to wake up teens. D. The impact of late sleep on teens’ learning. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “run counter to”in paragraph 3? A. go against B. agree with C. account for D. focus on 10. What is the attitude of the authorities towards Carskadon’s conclusion? A. Disapproving. B. Doubtful. C. Favorable. D. Unconcerned. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Evidence-based sleep education counts. B. Sleep education fails to work as expected. C Sleep courses do little good to poor children. D. Sleep education in schools is easy to promote. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了卡斯卡顿和同事通过研究证实生物因素是青少年晚睡的原因，一些地方据此改革，还有人建议开设睡眠课程。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Published in the journal Sleep by Mary Carskadon at Brown University, Rhode Island and her colleagues, a new paper set out to answer an age-old riddle: why do teenagers stay up so late, and why is it so hard to get them out of bed in the morning?(罗得岛州布朗大学的玛丽·卡斯卡顿和她的同事在《睡眠》杂志上发表了一篇新论文，旨在回答一个古老的谜题：为什么青少年熬夜这么晚，为什么早上很难把他们从床上叫起来？)”以及第二段中“Carskadon, however, suspected that biological (生物的) factors might be responsible.(然而，卡斯卡顿怀疑生物因素可能是原因)”可知，卡斯卡顿和她的同事试图确认青少年晚睡的真正原因。故选A。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“The results pointed to biology. Sixth-graders (aged 11 or 12) scored higher on “eveningness” and lower on “morningness” than younger children, even though they were in the same social environment. Therefore, Carskadon and her team concluded, the practice of ringing the morning bell earlier at middle schools (for 11-to 13-year-olds) and high schools (for ages 14 to 18) than at elementary schools “may run counter to children’s biological needs”.(结果指向生物学。六年级学生（11或12岁）在“晚间表现”上的得分高于低年级孩子，而在“晨间表现”上的得分则低于低年级孩子，即使他们处于相同的社会环境中。因此，卡斯卡顿和她的团队得出结论，中学（11至13岁）和高中（14至18岁）比小学更早敲响晨钟的做法“可能run counter to儿童的生物需求”)”可知，这种做法违背了儿童的生物需求，run counter to意思是“违背”，与A选项“go against(违背)”意思一致。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“In response, a growing number of US cities began pushing back start times in middle and high schools. In 2019, California became the first US state to pass laws based on those guidelines. This May, Florida became the second.(作为回应，越来越多的美国城市开始推迟中学和高中的上课时间。2019年，加州成为第一个根据这些指导方针通过法律的美国州。今年5月，佛罗里达州成为第二个)”可知，当局对卡斯卡顿的结论持支持态度。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“That is why some people argue that courses teaching evidence-based practices that promote and enhance sleep should be added to school curriculums (课程). In small studies, researchers at the University of Oxford have found that such courses can significantly improve sleep quality, even for children from low-income households who initially reported poor sleep.(这就是为什么有些人认为，应该在学校课程中增加教授基于证据的促进和改善睡眠的课程。在小规模研究中，牛津大学的研究人员发现，这样的课程可以显著改善睡眠质量，即使是那些最初报告睡眠不佳的低收入家庭的孩子)”可知，基于证据的睡眠教育很重要。故选A。 D It’s a pleasant summer morning. A line of poplar trees (白杨树) stands in the gentle wind. Insects buzz and fly among the branches. Everything seems calm and peaceful. But don’t be fooled. These trees are actually under attack as hungry insects chew (咀嚼) on their leaves. The trees can’t hide, and they can’t run away. But they aren’t helpless — The trees can quickly message their neighbors: “We’re under attack! Get ready to protect yourself!” All of this happens in ways we don’t see But scientists are learning that plants can do many things we link with thinking. They can even form memories. One famous study used a plant called Mimosa pudica. Known for being “sensitive,” it curls its leaves when it’s touched. The researchers potted up dozens of these plants. Then they dropped each Mimosa 60 times in a row. The plants weren’t harmed by the drop. It was short, with a soft landing. And they curled their leaves — but only the first few times. Pretty quickly, they stopped reacting. Just to be sure the plants weren’t too tired to fold their leaves, the researchers shook the plants. Now they curled their leaves right away. But when dropped again, they didn’t curl them. A month later, they tried the experiment again. The plants still didn’t curl their leaves after being dropped. They had formed long-lasting memories. Does this mean that plants are intelligent? Some scientists think so. Others are not so sure. The problem may come from how we explain words like “thinking” and “intelligence”. Still, this is now a big debate among plant experts. Take a look at a tree in your garden. It won’t ever be able to pass your math exam. Even if you talk to it every day, it won’t learn your name. But when it comes to doing the things that matter to it as a plant, it’s remarkable. And it does all that without a nervous system. 12. What do we know about the poplar trees in the first paragraph? A. They are warning humans. B. They are being eaten by insects. C. They are adjusting to the weather. D. They are enjoying the environment. 13. Why did the researchers choose Mimosa pudica for the experiment? A. It grows much faster than other plants. B. It can communicate with nearby plants. C. It naturally remembers past experiences. D. It shows clear responses to what happens to it. 14. Why did the researchers shake the Mimosa plants? A To test their health. B. To check for tiredness. C. To observe their flowers. D. To examine possible harm. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To discuss plants’ intelligence. B. To study plant survival strategies. C. To explain insects’ attacks on trees. D. To compare different plant species. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. B 15.

The girl was a reader. She would make her weekly trip to the yellow library. frequently, she went into the library in search of interesting new books. As the young librarian stamped the due dates on the ten-year-old’s choices, the little girl looked longingly at “The New Book” displayed on the counter. She was amazed again at the wonder of writing a book and having it honored like that, right there for the world to see. On that particular day, she had a goal. “When I grow up,” she said, “I’m going to be a writer. I’m going to write books.” The librarian looked up from her stamping and smiled, not with the condescension (傲慢) so many children receive, but with encouragement. “When you do write that book,” she replied, “bring it into our library and we’ll put it on display, right here on the counter.” The little girl promised she would. As she grew, so did her dream. She got her first job in ninth grade, writing brief personality profiles, which earned her $1.50 each from the local newspaper. The money palled (索然无味) in comparison with the magic of seeing her words on paper. A book was a long way off. She edited her high-school paper, married and started a family, but the desire to write burned deep. She got a part-time job covering school news at a weekly newspaper. It kept her brain busy as she balanced that with her babies. But no book. Then her family moved to a faraway place, but her dream of writing and publishing a book never changed. She went to work full time for a major daily, and even tried her hand at magazines. Still no book. Finally, she believed she had something to say and managed to write her first book. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 She sent it to publishers hopefully, but it was rejected. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Taking her published book, Jann flew to the yellow library. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 She sent it to publishers hopefully, but it was rejected. She was disappointed, but not discouraged. She knew that writing was a tough business, and rejection was part of the game. She kept trying, and eventually, her book found a home with a publisher. Her effort paid off. The moment she held her published book in her hands, she felt a sense of pride and accomplishment that she had never felt before. Then she remembered that librarian’s invitation, and her promise. Taking her published book, Jann flew to the yellow library. She approached the counter, where the young librarian in her childhood memories was now white-haired. Jann handed her the book and said, “I promised you that I would bring my book to you. Here it is.” The librarian’s eyes widened in surprise and delight, and she said, “I’d be honored to display your book.” Jann signed the book and placed it on the counter, right next to where. “The New Book” had once inspired her. Jann’s journey proved that dreams can come true and promises can be kept, even if it takes years. 【解析】 【导语】本文以小女孩Jann Mitchell的梦想为线索展开。她从小热爱阅读，梦想成为作家。成长过程中，她不断尝试写作，从写人物简介到编辑校报，再到为报纸和杂志撰稿，虽历经波折，但始终未放弃梦想，最终成功出版了第一本书。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“她满怀希望地把它寄给了出版商，却遭到了拒绝。”可知，第一段可以描写Jann的作品被出版商拒绝后，虽失望但不气馁，坚持尝试最终成功出版，以及手握新书时的自豪与成就感，呼应儿时对图书管理员的承诺。 ②由第二段句首内容“Jann带着她出版的书，飞往了那座黄色的图书馆。”可知，第二段可以描写Jann回到图书馆履行承诺，与已是白发苍苍的图书管理员重逢，捐赠并签名自己的书，最终升华“梦想可成真，承诺能坚守”的主旨。 2.续写线索：作品遭拒不气馁——坚持投稿终出版——手握新书感自豪——践行承诺赴图书馆——与老管理员重逢赠书——彰显梦想与承诺的力量 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①尝试： try/make an attempt/have a try ②走近：approach/come up to/get close to ③递给某人某物：hand sb. sth./pass sth. to sb./give sb. sth. 情绪类 ①失望：disappointed/despondent ②气馁的：discouraged/frustrated 【点睛】【高分句型1】The moment she held her published book in her hands, she felt a sense of pride and accomplishment that she had never felt before.
