And it’s okay if your teen didn’t play soccer in the past. The organization says it has developed special training to help volunteers who may have little or no soccer experience quickly gain the age-appropriate knowledge and skills they need to become outstanding coaches. Boy Scouts of America The nationwide organization encourages Scouts (童子军) to do service projects as one way to keep their promise to help other people, which has made many parents of teens become fans of the Boy Scouts. Although they’re encouraged to help other people every day, group service projects teach Scouts to give back to their community in a bigger way. YMCA The YMCA is the leading non-profit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, and it relies heavily on support from volunteers. Many teens have enjoyed giving back through the organization and have even been offered employment later on. Habitat for Humanity Teens who work with habitat for Humanity are given the opportunity to help improve the whole neighborhood and, in turn, assist families in achieving the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life, according to the organization, which offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for people of all ages. 21. Who might be more interested in AYSO? A. Job seekers. B. Soccer lovers. C. Basketball coaches. D. Scientific researchers. 22. What can be learned about Boy Scouts of America? A. It welcomes people of all ages. B. It focuses on sports activities. C. It offers special training. D. It is appealing to parents. 23. Which of the following probably provides a job? A. AYSO. B. Boy Scouts of America. C. YMCA. D. habitat for Humanity. B Little Johnny lived in a poor village. One summer day Johnny’s mother sent him to the field to pick up some dried wood for the fire. Johnny worked very hard. By the time the sun was high, he was very hot and wished for a cool place to rest and have some food. As he walked along, he found some fine, wild blueberries. “How good these will be with my bread and butter,” thought Johnny. He picked up all of the blueberries. As he was lifting the first blueberry to his mouth, he remembered his sick mother. With this in mind, he put the blueberry back again He thought how refreshing they would be for her, yet was still looking at them with a longing eye. “I will eat half, and take the other half to her,” he said. He divided them into two parts, but each part looked small. He put them together again. “I will only eat one,” he thought. But, as he again lifted it to his mouth, he saw that he had taken the finest, and he put it back. When the sun was beginning to sink, Johnny set out for home How happy he felt, then, that he had all his blueberries for his mother. He heard his mother’s faint (虚弱的) voice calling him “Is that you, Johnny? I am thirsty, and am longing for some tea.” Johnny ran to her and joyfully offered his wild blueberries “And you saved them for your sick mother, didn’t you? ”said she, laying her hand lovingly on his head, with tears in her eyes. 24. Why did Johnny go to the field? A. To eat his bread and butter. B. To dry the plants in their field C. To look for some wood for the fire. D. To pick some fruits for his mother to eat. 25. What does the underlined phrase “with a longing eye” show about Johnny? A. He wanted to find more blueberries. B. He felt that the sunlight was too strong. C. He wanted to eat the blueberries very much. D. He thought the blueberries were good for his mother. 26. Why did Johnny put down the blueberry the second time he lifted it to his mouth? A. Because it looked so small. B. Because it was the finest one. C. Because he was not so hungry. D. Because he wanted to eat other blueberries. 27. How did Johnny’s mother feel after seeing the blueberries? A. She felt the blueberries were so delicious. B. She was moved by her son’s care and love. C. She was too hungry to think about anything D. She thought that her son might want to eat them C “It seems as if a gas lamp explodes in your face when you light it,” Justin Schmidt, an expert on insects, wrote about his battle with black polybia wasps (黄蜂). This description is one of 78 entries on ant, bee, and wasp stings (叮咬) in his Schmidt Sting Pain Index (指数). Schmidt willingly offered his arm to different stinging insects to create the index featured in his 2016 book The Sting of the Wild. The index ranks stinging pain from one to four and gives a detailed account of Schmidt’s face-off with each insect with a poetic, and sometimes humorous, description. Schmidt began collecting data for the pain index in 1973 after digging up groups of harvester ants in Georgia. He got stung and described the episode as a “tearing pain”. “I realized the harvester ant stings were dramatically different from those of honey bees, wasps, and hornets” said Schmidt. He found that there was a difference in venom (毒液) and set out to conduct a larger survey. Collecting data on stings became Schmidt’s side project. While most people would run away, Schmidt went out of his way to get to stinging insects. To bring live samples back to the lab to study their venom, he often used his bare hands to grab fistfuls of the insect. If he didn’t get stung during that process, he’d apply one to his arm to be stung once or twice. What made the Schmidt Sting Pain Index unique was the colloquial (通俗的) manner in which he described insects’ stings. Schmidt would associate a strike of lightning with the sting of a tarantula hawk and the pain of a messy divorce with the sting of a wasp. He thought it was a more effective way to inform people how much each sting hurt. While the numerical scale is still valuable to entomologists, most people don’t identify with numbers, he explained. “Numbers are kind of an unnatural thing,” he said. “I can’t even remember the numbers. I have to look at my notebook and see how I evaluated it, whereas the descriptions are much easier to feel.” 28. What can we learn about black polybia wasps? A. They can be quite dangerous. B. They are an endangered species. C. They can hardly interest Schmidt. D. They tend to fly around gas lamps. 29. What inspired Schmidt to conduct the new survey for his index? A. A book about insects published in 2016. B. His experience of raising an ant group. C. The stings he got from harvester ants. D. His battle with black polybia wasps. 30. Which of the following can best describe Schmidt? A. Adventurous and athletic. B. Generous and committed. C. Talented and ambitious. D. Courageous and devoted. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. How the Schmidt Sting Pain Index measures the hurt of stings. B. Why Schmidt adopted the colloquial manner to describe stings. C. Whether it is possible to describe stings in the colloquial manner. D. What helped Schmidt to describe stings in the colloquial manner. D Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s health. Researchers have found that lack of sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement. While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam. Even more interesting, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most. The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says, “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or l at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.” Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes. 32. What have researchers found about lack of sleep? A. It can help people lose weight. B. It can make people more likely to get sick. C. It can reduce people’s risk of heart disease. D. It can improve people’s academic performance. 33. What was Professor Jeffrey Gross’s original intention? A. To study the relationship between sleep and grades. B. To investigate the impact of sleep on students’ health. C. To prove that smart watches can track physical activity. D. To find out the connection between exercise and academic achievement. 34. According to the text, which of the following is correct? A. The more sleep students get, the better their grades. B. It’s the sleep you get during the daytime that matters most. C. Differences in sleep patterns have great impact on students’ grades. D. Students who go to bed after 2 am can perform well by sleeping longer. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of exercise for students. B. The relationship between sleep and health. C. The impact of sleep on academic performance. D. The benefits of using smart watches in class. 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。 A paid internship (带薪实习) is a job often in your chosen field of work that offers a salary and is combined with training in your field.

I had been working as a veterinary (兽医的) nurse at a university hospital for only nine months. My job included assisting doctors in performing operations on animals. And I was already familiar with the basic operation procedure: preparing operation tools, giving anesthesia (麻醉), positioning the animal on the operation table, cleaning the injured part, and at last, attaching the steel plate to the broken bone. On this particular night, the only information given was an emergency that needed my immediate attention. I was calm, yet anxious as I headed to the hospital. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, I found that two doctors and another nurse had just arrived. They were checking the patient in a stall (牲畜棚) near the operation room. I entered the stall, surprised to find there stood a tiny horse. Obviously, she lived outside all year round. Her entire body was covered with caked-on mud. She looked normal. The only thing out of place was the unnatural angle at which she held her right back leg, which was injured. As I came closer, I realized she was shaking and sweating, even though the night was cool. As I approached, I heard her family talking to her, their voices quiet and serious. “It’s okay, Doro. We love you. Doctors will fix you right up, ”said a small child. Her name was Daisy and the horse was 28-year-old with a broken leg. For a horse, such an injury usually means the death sentence. And Doro’s age was against her. Her family included Mom, Dad, Daisy and her twin brothers, who were as worried as the little girl about the seriousness of the horse’s condition. Looking wide-eyed and frightened, Daisy turned to her father and asked, “Daddy, you won’t let Doro die, will you? ”That look in her eyes struck everyone’s heart. I knew we would be working all night to save Doro. Soon, we anxiously prepared for the operation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I rushed into Central Supply, the area where all our operation tools were kept. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Doro has woken up and now you can see her. Come!” I cheerfully told the family. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 姜堰区2025～2026学年度第一学期期中考试 高三英语试题 （考试时间：120分钟；总分：150分） 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。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】 What color was the man’s little sweater?

And it’s okay if your teen didn’t play soccer in the past. The organization says it has developed special training to help volunteers who may have little or no soccer experience quickly gain the age-appropriate knowledge and skills they need to become outstanding coaches. Boy Scouts of America The nationwide organization encourages Scouts (童子军) to do service projects as one way to keep their promise to help other people, which has made many parents of teens become fans of the Boy Scouts. Although they’re encouraged to help other people every day, group service projects teach Scouts to give back to their community in a bigger way. YMCA The YMCA is the leading non-profit organization for youth development, healthy living and social responsibility, and it relies heavily on support from volunteers. Many teens have enjoyed giving back through the organization and have even been offered employment later on. Habitat for Humanity Teens who work with habitat for Humanity are given the opportunity to help improve the whole neighborhood and, in turn, assist families in achieving the strength, stability and independence they need to build a better life, according to the organization, which offers a variety of volunteer opportunities for people of all ages. 21.

This description is one of 78 entries on ant, bee, and wasp stings (叮咬) in his Schmidt Sting Pain Index (指数). Schmidt willingly offered his arm to different stinging insects to create the index featured in his 2016 book The Sting of the Wild. The index ranks stinging pain from one to four and gives a detailed account of Schmidt’s face-off with each insect with a poetic, and sometimes humorous, description. Schmidt began collecting data for the pain index in 1973 after digging up groups of harvester ants in Georgia. He got stung and described the episode as a “tearing pain”. “I realized the harvester ant stings were dramatically different from those of honey bees, wasps, and hornets” said Schmidt. He found that there was a difference in venom (毒液) and set out to conduct a larger survey. Collecting data on stings became Schmidt’s side project. While most people would run away, Schmidt went out of his way to get to stinging insects. To bring live samples back to the lab to study their venom, he often used his bare hands to grab fistfuls of the insect. If he didn’t get stung during that process, he’d apply one to his arm to be stung once or twice. What made the Schmidt Sting Pain Index unique was the colloquial (通俗的) manner in which he described insects’ stings. Schmidt would associate a strike of lightning with the sting of a tarantula hawk and the pain of a messy divorce with the sting of a wasp. He thought it was a more effective way to inform people how much each sting hurt. While the numerical scale is still valuable to entomologists, most people don’t identify with numbers, he explained. “Numbers are kind of an unnatural thing,” he said. “I can’t even remember the numbers. I have to look at my notebook and see how I evaluated it, whereas the descriptions are much easier to feel.” 28. What can we learn about black polybia wasps? A. They can be quite dangerous. B. They are an endangered species. C. They can hardly interest Schmidt. D. They tend to fly around gas lamps. 29. What inspired Schmidt to conduct the new survey for his index? A. A book about insects published in 2016. B. His experience of raising an ant group. C. The stings he got from harvester ants. D. His battle with black polybia wasps. 30. Which of the following can best describe Schmidt? A. Adventurous and athletic. B. Generous and committed. C. Talented and ambitious. D. Courageous and devoted. 31. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about? A. How the Schmidt Sting Pain Index measures the hurt of stings. B. Why Schmidt adopted the colloquial manner to describe stings. C. Whether it is possible to describe stings in the colloquial manner. D. What helped Schmidt to describe stings in the colloquial manner. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. D 31. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了昆虫专家施密特自1973年起主动让蜂蚁等叮咬，收集数据创建刺痛疼痛指数，以通俗描述呈现疼痛程度，该指数独特且兼具科研与科普价值。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段““It seems as if a gas lamp explodes in your face when you light it,” Justin Schmidt, an expert on insects, wrote about his battle with black polybia wasps (黄蜂).(昆虫专家贾斯汀·施密特在描述与黑波利比亚马蜂的斗争时写道：“这种感觉就好像你点燃一盏煤气灯时，它突然在你脸前炸开一样”)”可知，黑波利比亚马蜂可能相当危险。故选A。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Schmidt began collecting data for the pain index in 1973 after digging up groups of harvester ants in Georgia. He got stung and described the episode as a “tearing pain”.(1973年，施密特在佐治亚州挖掘出数群收割蚁后，开始为这份疼痛指数收集相关数据。他被蜇伤了，并将这段经历描述为一种“撕裂般的剧痛”)”可知，施密特从蚁群中获得的那些触碰反应促使他开展这项新的调查，以建立他的指数体系。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“He found that there was a difference in venom (毒液) and set out to conduct a larger survey. Collecting data on stings became Schmidt’s side project. While most people would run away, Schmidt went out of his way to get to stinging insects. To bring live samples back to the lab to study their venom, he often used his bare hands to grab fistfuls of the insect. If he didn’t get stung during that process, he’d apply one to his arm to be stung once or twice.(他发现毒液存在差异，于是着手进行更广泛的调查。收集有关蜇伤的数据成了施密特的副业。大多数人都会逃离这些蜇人的昆虫，但施密特却特意去接近它们。为了将活样本带回实验室以研究其毒液，他经常用双手抓取大量的昆虫。如果在这个过程中自己没有被蜇到，他就会将一只昆虫放在手臂上被蜇上一两次)”以及“Schmidt began collecting data for the pain index in 1973 after digging up groups of harvester ants in Georgia.(1973年，施密特在佐治亚州挖掘出数群收割蚁后，开始为这份疼痛指数收集相关数据)”可知，施密特主动让叮咬昆虫攻击自己以收集数据，甚至徒手捕捉昆虫、刻意让其叮咬，体现了“勇敢”，从 1973年开始持续积累数据，最终完成疼痛指数并出版书籍，体现了“专注投入”。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“What made the Schmidt Sting Pain Index unique was the colloquial (通俗的) manner in which he described insects’ stings. Schmidt would associate a strike of lightning with the sting of a tarantula hawk and the pain of a messy divorce with the sting of a wasp. He thought it was a more effective way to inform people how much each sting hurt. While the numerical scale is still valuable to entomologists, most people don’t identify with numbers, he explained. “Numbers are kind of an unnatural thing,” he said. “I can’t even remember the numbers. I have to look at my notebook and see how I evaluated it, whereas the descriptions are much easier to feel.”(让施密特蜇伤疼痛指数与众不同的，是他描述昆虫蜇伤时所用的通俗表述方式。施密特会将蛛蜂的蜇伤比作一道闪电的突袭，又将胡蜂的蜇伤痛感比作一场糟糕透顶的离婚所带来的痛苦。他认为，这是一种更有效的方式，能让人们清楚地了解不同昆虫蜇伤的疼痛程度。他解释道，虽然这种数值量表对昆虫学家而言仍有价值，但大多数人很难对数字产生共鸣。“数字这东西多少有些脱离实际，” 他说，“我自己甚至都记不住那些数字，每次都得翻看笔记本才能查到当初的评分。而那些形象的描述，却能让人更直观地体会到那种痛感。”)”可知，最后一段主要讲了施密特为何采用口语化的表述方式来描述刺击事件。故选B。 D Sleep, considered a luxury by many, is essential for a person’s health. Researchers have found that lack of sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease. Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance. Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement. While Gross’s data showed no relationship between these two factors, the study found something surprising. As the researchers were analyzing their data, they noticed that there was a straight-line relationship between the average amount of sleep a student got and their results in the course’s 11 quizzes, three midterm tests, and the final exam. Even more interesting, it was not enough for students to just head to bed early the night before a test. Instead, it’s the sleep you get during the days when learning is happening that matters most. The time students went to bed each night was similarly important. Those who went to bed in early hours of the morning performed poorly, even if the total sleep time was the same as a higher-performing student. “When you go to bed matters,” Gross says, “If you go to bed at 10, or 12, or l at night, and sleep for seven hours, your performance is the same. But if you go to bed after 2, your performance starts to go down even if you get the same seven hours. So, quantity isn’t everything.” Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes. 32. What have researchers found about lack of sleep? A. It can help people lose weight. B. It can make people more likely to get sick. C. It can reduce people’s risk of heart disease. D. It can improve people’s academic performance. 33 What was Professor Jeffrey Gross’s original intention? A. To study the relationship between sleep and grades. B. To investigate the impact of sleep on students’ health. C. To prove that smart watches can track physical activity. D. To find out the connection between exercise and academic achievement. 34. According to the text, which of the following is correct? A. The more sleep students get, the better their grades. B. It’s the sleep you get during the daytime that matters most. C. Differences in sleep patterns have great impact on students’ grades. D. Students who go to bed after 2 am can perform well by sleeping longer. 35. What is the main idea of the text? A. The importance of exercise for students. B. The relationship between sleep and health. C. The impact of sleep on academic performance. D. The benefits of using smart watches in class. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. C 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于睡眠与学业成绩关系的研究发现：充足且规律的睡眠是提升学术表现的关键，而非仅靠考前突击，研究通过追踪100名化学课学生的智能手表数据，揭示了睡眠时长、入睡时间及规律性对学生成绩的显著影响，强调睡眠质量远比单纯时长更重要。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“Researchers have found that lack of sleep and tiredness increase a person’s risk of developing severe medical conditions, such as obesity (being very overweight), high blood sugar levels, and heart disease.(研究人员发现，睡眠不足和疲劳会增加一个人患上严重疾病的风险，比如肥胖（体重严重超标）、高血糖水平以及心脏病。如今，一项新的研究发现，充足的睡眠也是提高学习成绩的关键。)”可知，研究人员发现睡眠不足和疲劳会增加一个人患上严重疾病的风险，比如肥胖（体重严重超标）、高血糖水平以及心脏病。也就是说，研究人员发现睡眠不足会使人们更有可能生病。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Jeffrey Gross, the university science professor who led the research, was not trying to find the relationship between sleep and grades when he handed out smart watches to the 100 students in his chemistry class. Instead, the professor hoped the devices, which track a person’s physical activity, would show a connection between exercise and academic achievement.(Jeffrey Gross是领导这项研究的大学理科教授，当他把智能手表分发给自己化学课上的100名学生时，他并不是试图去探究睡眠与成绩之间的关系。相反，这位教授希望这些能追踪人的身体活动的设备，能显示出运动与学业成绩之间的联系。)”可知，Jeffrey Gross教授给化学课上的100名学生发放智能手表时，并不是试图寻找睡眠和成绩之间的关系。相反，他希望这些能追踪人体活动的设备可以显示出运动和学业成绩之间的联系。也就是说，他最初的意图是找出运动和学业成绩之间的联系。故选D。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“Perhaps the most interesting was the huge impact that small differences in sleep patterns had on the students’ grades. The overall course grades for students averaging six and a half hours of sleep each night were 25% lower than students who averaged just one hour more sleep. Similarly, students who varied their bedtime by even one hour each night had grades that dropped 45% below those with more regular bedtimes.(或许最有趣的是睡眠模式上的微小差异对学生成绩产生的巨大影响。每晚平均睡眠时间为6个半小时的学生，其课程总评成绩比平均睡眠时间仅多1个小时的学生低25%。同样，每晚睡觉时间变化哪怕只有1个小时的学生，其成绩比那些有更规律睡眠时间的学生低45% 。)”可知，睡眠模式的微小差异对学生成绩有巨大影响。故选C。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容可知，并结合第一段中“Now, a new study has found that getting enough sleep is also the key to improving academic performance.(现在，一项新的研究发现，充足的睡眠也是提高学习成绩的关键)”文章开篇指出睡眠对健康的重要性，接着讲述Jeffrey Gross教授原本想探究运动和学业成绩的关系，却意外发现了睡眠与学业成绩之间的联系，包括平均睡眠时间、睡觉时间点以及睡眠模式的差异等对学生成绩都有影响。因此，文章重点围绕睡眠对学业成绩的影响展开论述。故选C。 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。 A paid internship (带薪实习) is a job often in your chosen field of work that offers a salary and is combined with training in your field.

I had been working as a veterinary (兽医的) nurse at a university hospital for only nine months. My job included assisting doctors in performing operations on animals. And I was already familiar with the basic operation procedure: preparing operation tools, giving anesthesia (麻醉), positioning the animal on the operation table, cleaning the injured part, and at last, attaching the steel plate to the broken bone. On this particular night, the only information given was an emergency that needed my immediate attention. I was calm, yet anxious as I headed to the hospital. Shortly after arriving at the hospital, I found that two doctors and another nurse had just arrived. They were checking the patient in a stall (牲畜棚) near the operation room. I entered the stall, surprised to find there stood a tiny horse. Obviously, she lived outside all year round. Her entire body was covered with caked-on mud. She looked normal. The only thing out of place was the unnatural angle at which she held her right back leg, which was injured. As I came closer, I realized she was shaking and sweating, even though the night was cool. As I approached, I heard her family talking to her, their voices quiet and serious. “It’s okay, Doro. We love you. Doctors will fix you right up, ”said a small child. Her name was Daisy and the horse was 28-year-old with a broken leg. For a horse, such an injury usually means the death sentence. And Doro’s age was against her. Her family included Mom, Dad, Daisy and her twin brothers, who were as worried as the little girl about the seriousness of the horse’s condition. Looking wide-eyed and frightened, Daisy turned to her father and asked, “Daddy, you won’t let Doro die, will you? ”That look in her eyes struck everyone’s heart. I knew we would be working all night to save Doro. Soon, we anxiously prepared for the operation. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150个左右； 2. 请按如下格式作答。 I rushed into Central Supply, the area where all our operation tools were kept. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “Doro has woken up and now you can see her. Come!” I cheerfully told the family. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I rushed into Central Supply, the area where all our operation tools were kept. My heart was pounding as I quickly gathered the necessary tools, double-checking to make sure nothing was missing. With the tools in hand, I dashed back to the operating room. The doctors were already preparing, and we all worked in harmony, determined to give Doro the best chance at recovery. The operation was no easy job even with the doctors’ expertise and my whole-hearted assistance. I could feel the pressure mounting, knowing that every second counted in saving Doro. Time seemed to have frozen in the stall. “Doro has woken up and now you can see her. Come!” I cheerfully told the family. They all rushed in, their faces filled with hope and anticipation. They crowded around Doro, tears of relief streaming down their faces as they saw her slowly regaining consciousness. Daisy let out a squeal of joy and hugged her father tightly. The horse looked at them with a gentle gaze, as if she knew she was loved. We all watched with smiles on our faces, feeling a sense of accomplishment and gladness that our efforts had paid off. The family thanked us over and over again, and in that moment, I knew that our hard work and dedication had truly made a difference. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一匹受伤的小马为线索展开。一个兽医护士匆忙赶到医院。她发现需要急救的是一匹住在户外、满身泥泞的小马，右后腿骨折，尽管夜晚凉爽，小马仍在颤抖和出汗。小马的家人，包括父母和一对双胞胎兄弟，以及小女孩黛西，都十分担忧。他们对小马的爱显而易见，尤其是黛西恳求的眼神触动了所有人的心。尽管对于一匹28岁马来说，这样的伤势很可能致命，但医护人员决定整夜奋战，尽力挽救小马多萝的生命。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“我冲进Central Supply，那里存放着我们所有的操作工具。”可知，第一段可以描写作者拿到工具后对小马的救助过程和心理活动。 ②由第二段句首内容“‘多洛醒了，现在你可以看到她了。来！’我兴高采烈地告诉了这家人。”可知，第二段可以描写得知小马获救后这家人的动作、表情和心理活动。 2.续写线索：找工具—救治—成功—告诉这家人—如释重负—感谢 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①（心）跳：pound/beat ②搜集：gather/collect ③确保：make sure/ensure 情绪类 ①压力：pressure/stress ②快乐：joy/delight 【点睛】【高分句型1】 I could feel the pressure mounting, knowing that every second counted in saving Doro.
