John Keating, an English teacher with a mysterious and enthusiastic manner, walked into the school like a breath of fresh air in a boring room. Just by being there, he questioned the school’s long-held customs. Instead of merely standing at the front of the classroom lecturing on Shakespeare’s poetry or grammar, Keating had a unique way of making the words come alive. In his first class, he walked into the room, a twinkle in his eye, and led the boys out into the hallway. Pointing at the old, faded pictures of former students, he said, “Carpe diem (抓住当下), boys. Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary. These men were once just like you, with dreams and potential. Don’t let this place bury your ambitions.” Keating’s secret haven (港湾) “Whispers of the Bard” — a magical spot hidden from school authorities — was where he gathered students outdoors. Reciting poetry with great enthusiasm, he told them poetry is more than rhymes and meters: it’s the soul’s language, expressing our deepest desires and wildest dreams. Keating encouraged students to find their own voice in great poets’ works. For Neil Perry, who secretly loved the stage, Keating was a guiding star-he recognized Neil’s potential, urged him not to let his father dim his passion, and helped him practice lines to express emotions. With Keating’s consistent guidance, Neil grew more confident, daring to surpass (超出) his father’s expectations. Shy Todd Anderson, overshadowed by his brother, had a talent for uncovering literature’s deeper meaning-something Keating noticed. Urging him to “open your treasure chest of a mind” and share his valuable interpretations without fear of standing out, Keating’s encouragement helped Todd come out of his shell and find the courage to speak up. Keating’s encouragement was like a gentle wind that blew through the lives of these students, fanning the flames of their dreams and giving them the strength to pursue what they truly loved. 4. Why did Keating take the boys to the hallway in his first class? A. To let the boys relax after boring lessons and enjoy the fresh air. B. To avoid lecturing on the boring Shakespeare’s poetry and grammar. C. To encourage the boys to seize the moment and fulfill their potential. D. To show the boys the school’s history and former academic achievements. 5. What can we infer about “Whispers of the Bard” from the passage? A. It is a stage where Neil practices his acting skills. B. It is a classroom controlled by school authorities. C. It is a library with many classic poetry collections. D. It is a secret place for students to learn poetry freely. 6 Why does the author compare Keating’s encouragement to “a gentle wind”? A. Because it was unexpected and strong. B. Because it only affected a few students. C. Because it was soft and had a lasting influence. D. Because it was like wind and disappeared quickly. 7. Which of the following best describes John Keating as a teacher? A. Passionate and inspiring. B. Strict and stubborn. C. Quiet and reserved. D. Traditional and conservative. C Many of us develop strong attachments to particular colors, but purple brings out the most focused and enthusiastic devotion. What makes purple so distinctive? Part of the answer comes from optics (光学). Violet light has the shortest wavelength on the spectrum (光谱) of visible light, right next to the unseen ultraviolet (紫外光), which only our skin detects. With its short wavelength and high frequency, the color purple contains the highest energy of all visible light. Symbolically, we can think of purple as the border between the visible and the invisible. Evolution also favors purple. As hunters and gatherers, early humans were drawn to variations of purple for the purpose of detecting eatable ripe fruit against the backdrop of green leaves. Purple’s significance stems from these physical and natural traits, but our love for it goes beyond science. Robert N. Kraft, a cognitive psychology professor, analyzed interviews with purple lovers, along with experiments and cultural evidence. A key reason is that purple looks good on them-all interviewees noted their purple outfits receive admirations. Purple offers many combination possibilities, with deep purple on one end and lighter lavenders on the other. More than half the people interviewed extolled the “great variety” of colors to choose from, and they enjoy choosing different shades to wear, while staying in the color world of purple. Studies looking at personal characteristics suggest that people who love purple appreciate freshness, enjoy being artistic, and are comfortable taking innovative approaches to the challenges of everyday life. However, as noted by color researcher Andrew Eliot, we are only at the beginning of strict experimentation on color and psychological functioning. The primary way people express their love of purple is by wearing it, with every manner of clothing and accessories, including coats, shirts, pants, dresses, jewelry and computer bags. But this love is expressed in other ways, as well. Three of the people interviewed said that when they moved to a different house, they made themselves feel at home by painting at least one wall of their new house purple. 8. What was the reason for early humans’ interest in purple, as stated in the text? A. It helped them survive in extreme natural conditions. B. It allowed them to show their artistic side in daily life C. It enabled them to find food easily among green plants. D. It helped them sense ultraviolet light through their skin. 9. What can we infer about people who love purple from the passage? A. They all paint their new houses purple when moving. B. They pay little attention to others’ opinions on their outfits. C. They prefer to wear dark purple rather than light lavender. D. They are more likely to try creative ways to solve problems. 10. What does the underlined word “extolled” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Praised. B. Ignored. C. Criticized. D. Admitted. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The historical development of purple’s popularity. B. The reasons why purple is particularly loved by people. C. The differences between purple and other favorite colors. D. The scientific experiments on purple and human psychology D AI models may be a bit like humans, after all. A new study by the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University reveals that large language models trained on popular but low-quality social media content can suffer from a type of “brain rot”, which is familiar to anyone who’s scrolled X or TikTok for too long. “We live in an era where information grows faster than our attention spans. And much of the information is designed to get clicks, not to share truth or depth,” says Junyuan Hong, an assistant professor at the National University of Singapore. Hong and his team fed different types of text to two open-source large language models during pretraining. They tested the models with a mix of widely shared social media posts with exaggerated language like “wow”, “look”, or “today only”. The researchers then used several different evaluation standards to measure the impact of this “junk” social media content on two open-source models. The models trained on junk text experienced a kind of AI brain rot — with cognitive decline including reduced reasoning abilities and degraded memory. According to two assessment methods, the models also became less consistent with ethical (道德的) standards and more inclined to show psychopathic (精神错乱的) characteristics. These results are similar to research on humans, showing that low-quality online content has a harmful effect on people’s cognitive abilities. Many model developers might think social media posts are a good source of training data. “Training content may look like expanding the amount of data,” Hong explains. “But it can silently damage reasoning abilities, ethical awareness, and the ability to focus on long contexts.” The findings also suggest that AI systems built around social platforms might suffer from quality control issues if user-generated posts are used in training without an eye toward the integrity of the posts. Hong warns that AI-generated low-quality content spreading on social media taints the data for future models. Their research shows such “brain rot” cannot be fully reversed by subsequent clean training. 12. What does the “brain rot” in the study mainly refer to for AI models? A. Cognitive decline and less consistent ethics. B. Inability to deal with social media content. C. Failure to produce logical and connected text. D. Tendency to copy exaggerated language from social media. 13. What is the main finding of the study mentioned in the passage? A. AI models trained on social media content become more popular. B. Low-quality social media content causes cognitive decline in AI models. C. Open-source AI models are more likely to be influenced by junk text. D. Clean training can completely fix AI models “brain rot” problem. 14 What does the passage suggest about the future of AI training? A. Clean training data will no longer be needed for AI models. B. There will be stricter quality checks on user-generated training data. C. Developers will stop using any social media content for training. D. AI models will be trained only on academic or professional content. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How to Reverse AI Cognitive Decline Through Clean Training B. The Impact of Online Information on Human Cognitive Abilities C. Social Media: A Valuable Data Source for Large Language Models D. AI “Brain Rot”: Caused by Low-Quality Social Media Training Content 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， How to Appreciate Art Art can often seem inaccessible because it has been stereotyped (老套的) in popular culture as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy. ____16____.

She hadn’t played there for a whole week because a bee had stung her, and the memory still made her heart race. She took a deep breath and finally opened the door, ready to face her fear. As soon as she stepped outside, a big bumblebee (大黄蜂), even bigger than her thumb, appeared. Its yellow and black body was covered with soft, fuzzy hair that shone in the sunlight, and its wings made a low humming sound as it hovered near the flowers. Ella stepped outside carefully, holding her breath and hoping the bee wouldn’t notice her. After just three steps, the bee flew straight toward her. It moved quickly but didn’t seem aggressive. It hovered in the air right in front of her nose, only a few inches away. Ella’s heart beat fast. She stepped back and crouched down. “Please, don’t sting (蛰) me!” she cried. Ella wanted to run, but her legs wouldn’t move. To her astonishment, the bee replied, “I am a guard bee.” Ella was so surprised that the bee could speak that she momentarily forgot her fear. “What are you guarding?” she asked cautiously. “I just want to play on my swing.” The bumblebee hovered around Ella’s head and said, “I’m not stopping you from going anywhere. I’m here to guard you.” Ella wasn’t convinced. “Last week, a bee stung me for no reason. I really wish you wouldn’t follow me. What if you hurt me by accident?” she said, with her uneasy eyes fixed on the insect. “That must have been a terrible mistake.” the bee said, landing on a nearby leaf. “We only sting when we feel truly threatened. I promise. I’m here to protect you. not to harm you.” 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。 Just then, a big dog ran into Ella’s yard, barking loudly and running toward Ella. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching the dog run away, Ella felt very thankful for her little guardian. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 听力测试卷 (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。 46.

Just by being there, he questioned the school’s long-held customs.(John Keating是一位神秘而热情的英语老师，他走进学校就像在一间沉闷的房间里吹来一股清新的空气。仅仅是在那里，他就对学校长期以来的习俗提出了质疑)”及最后一段“Keating’s encouragement was like a gentle wind that blew through the lives of these students, fanning the flames of their dreams and giving them the strength to pursue what they truly loved.(Keating的鼓励就像一阵微风，吹拂着这些学生的生活，点燃了他们梦想的火焰，给了他们追求真正热爱事物的力量)”可知，Keating老师教学方式独特，充满热情，能够鼓励学生追求梦想，发掘自身潜力，由此可推知，他是一位充满激情且鼓舞人心的老师。故选A项。 C Many of us develop strong attachments to particular colors, but purple brings out the most focused and enthusiastic devotion. What makes purple so distinctive? Part of the answer comes from optics (光学). Violet light has the shortest wavelength on the spectrum (光谱) of visible light, right next to the unseen ultraviolet (紫外光), which only our skin detects. With its short wavelength and high frequency, the color purple contains the highest energy of all visible light. Symbolically, we can think of purple as the border between the visible and the invisible. Evolution also favors purple. As hunters and gatherers, early humans were drawn to variations of purple for the purpose of detecting eatable ripe fruit against the backdrop of green leaves. Purple’s significance stems from these physical and natural traits, but our love for it goes beyond science. Robert N. Kraft, a cognitive psychology professor, analyzed interviews with purple lovers, along with experiments and cultural evidence. A key reason is that purple looks good on them-all interviewees noted their purple outfits receive admirations. Purple offers many combination possibilities, with deep purple on one end and lighter lavenders on the other. More than half the people interviewed extolled the “great variety” of colors to choose from, and they enjoy choosing different shades to wear, while staying in the color world of purple. Studies looking at personal characteristics suggest that people who love purple appreciate freshness, enjoy being artistic, and are comfortable taking innovative approaches to the challenges of everyday life. However, as noted by color researcher Andrew Eliot, we are only at the beginning of strict experimentation on color and psychological functioning. The primary way people express their love of purple is by wearing it, with every manner of clothing and accessories, including coats, shirts, pants, dresses, jewelry and computer bags. But this love is expressed in other ways, as well. Three of the people interviewed said that when they moved to a different house, they made themselves feel at home by painting at least one wall of their new house purple. 8. What was the reason for early humans’ interest in purple, as stated in the text? A. It helped them survive in extreme natural conditions. B. It allowed them to show their artistic side in daily life C. It enabled them to find food easily among green plants. D. It helped them sense ultraviolet light through their skin. 9. What can we infer about people who love purple from the passage? A. They all paint their new houses purple when moving. B. They pay little attention to others’ opinions on their outfits. C. They prefer to wear dark purple rather than light lavender. D. They are more likely to try creative ways to solve problems. 10. What does the underlined word “extolled” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Praised. B. Ignored. C. Criticized. D. Admitted. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The historical development of purple’s popularity. B. The reasons why purple is particularly loved by people. C. The differences between purple and other favorite colors. D. The scientific experiments on purple and human psychology 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了紫色受到人们特别喜爱的原因，包括其光学特性、自然意义、人们对它的主观感受以及表达喜爱的方式等。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As hunters and gatherers, early humans were drawn to variations of purple for the purpose of detecting eatable ripe fruit against the backdrop of green leaves.(作为狩猎采集者，早期人类被各种紫色所吸引，目的是在绿叶的背景下发现可食用的成熟果实)”可知，早期人类对紫色感兴趣是因为紫色能使他们在绿色植物中更容易找到食物。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中“Studies looking at personal characteristics suggest that people who love purple appreciate freshness, enjoy being artistic, and are comfortable taking innovative approaches to the challenges of everyday life.(研究个人特征的研究表明，喜欢紫色的人欣赏新鲜事物，喜欢艺术，并且乐于以创新的方式应对日常生活中的挑战)”可推知，喜欢紫色的人乐于以创新的方式应对日常生活中的挑战，所以更有可能尝试用创造性的方法解决问题。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“More than half the people interviewed extolled the “great variety” of colors to choose from, and they enjoy choosing different shades to wear, while staying in the color world of purple.(超过一半的受访者extolled可供选择的“多种多样”的颜色，他们喜欢选择不同的色调来穿戴，同时仍保持在紫色的色彩世界里)”可知，划线词下文描述他们享受选择不同色调，这反映了他们对颜色多样性的积极态度。因此，extolled应表示对“variety”的正面评价，即“称赞、赞美”，与A项“praised”意思相近。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章开篇提出问题“What makes purple so distinctive?(是什么让紫色如此与众不同？)”，随后从光学特性、进化优势(第二段)、心理学原因(第三、四段)和人们表达喜爱的方式(第五段)等多方面分析了紫色备受人们偏爱的原因。由此可知，文章的主要是解释人们特别喜爱紫色的原因。故选B项。 D AI models may be a bit like humans, after all. A new study by the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University reveals that large language models trained on popular but low-quality social media content can suffer from a type of “brain rot”, which is familiar to anyone who’s scrolled X or TikTok for too long. “We live in an era where information grows faster than our attention spans. And much of the information is designed to get clicks, not to share truth or depth,” says Junyuan Hong, an assistant professor at the National University of Singapore. Hong and his team fed different types of text to two open-source large language models during pretraining. They tested the models with a mix of widely shared social media posts with exaggerated language like “wow”, “look”, or “today only”. The researchers then used several different evaluation standards to measure the impact of this “junk” social media content on two open-source models. The models trained on junk text experienced a kind of AI brain rot — with cognitive decline including reduced reasoning abilities and degraded memory. According to two assessment methods, the models also became less consistent with ethical (道德的) standards and more inclined to show psychopathic (精神错乱的) characteristics. These results are similar to research on humans, showing that low-quality online content has a harmful effect on people’s cognitive abilities. Many model developers might think social media posts are a good source of training data. “Training content may look like expanding the amount of data,” Hong explains. “But it can silently damage reasoning abilities, ethical awareness, and the ability to focus on long contexts.” The findings also suggest that AI systems built around social platforms might suffer from quality control issues if user-generated posts are used in training without an eye toward the integrity of the posts. Hong warns that AI-generated low-quality content spreading on social media taints the data for future models. Their research shows such “brain rot” cannot be fully reversed by subsequent clean training. 12. What does the “brain rot” in the study mainly refer to for AI models? A. Cognitive decline and less consistent ethics. B. Inability to deal with social media content. C. Failure to produce logical and connected text. D. Tendency to copy exaggerated language from social media. 13. What is the main finding of the study mentioned in the passage? A. AI models trained on social media content become more popular. B. Low-quality social media content causes cognitive decline in AI models. C. Open-source AI models are more likely to be influenced by junk text. D. Clean training can completely fix AI models “brain rot” problem. 14. What does the passage suggest about the future of AI training? A. Clean training data will no longer be needed for AI models. B. There will be stricter quality checks on user-generated training data. C. Developers will stop using any social media content for training. D. AI models will be trained only on academic or professional content. 15. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. How to Reverse AI Cognitive Decline Through Clean Training B. The Impact of Online Information on Human Cognitive Abilities C. Social Media: A Valuable Data Source for Large Language Models D AI “Brain Rot”: Caused by Low-Quality Social Media Training Content 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究，该研究表明，使用低质量的社交媒体内容进行训练的大型语言模型可能会像人类一样患上“脑退化”，表现为认知能力下降、道德一致性减弱等问题，并且这种影响可能难以完全逆转。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The models trained on junk text experienced a kind of AI brain rot—with cognitive decline including reduced reasoning abilities and degraded memory. According to two assessment methods, the models also became less consistent with ethical standards and more inclined to show psychopathic (精神错乱的) characteristics.(用垃圾文本训练的模型经历了一种AI脑退化——伴随着认知能力下降，包括推理能力减弱和记忆退化。根据两种评估方法，模型也变得与道德标准不那么一致，更倾向于表现出精神错乱的特征。)”可知，研究中的“brain rot”主要指认知能力下降和道德一致性减弱。故选A。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A new study by the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University reveals that large language models trained on popular but low-quality social media content can suffer from a type of ‘brain rot’(一项由得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和得克萨斯农工大学开展的新研究表明，以热门但低质量的社交媒体内容为训练数据的大型语言模型，可能会出现一种‘脑退化’现象)”以及第四段中“The models trained on junk text experienced a kind of AI brain rot—with cognitive decline including reduced reasoning abilities and degraded memory.(用垃圾文本训练的模型经历了一种AI脑退化——伴随着认知能力下降，包括推理能力减弱和记忆退化。)”可知，该研究的主要发现是低质量社交媒体内容会导致人工智能模型认知能力下降。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The findings also suggest that AI systems built around social platforms might suffer from quality control issues if user-generated posts are used in training without an eye toward the integrity of the posts.(研究结果还表明，围绕社交平台构建的AI系统可能会遇到质量控制问题，如果在训练中使用用户生成的帖子而不关注其完整性。)”可以合理推断，未来在AI训练中会对用户生成的训练数据进行更严格的质量检查。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，第二段中“A new study by the University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University reveals that large language models trained on popular but low-quality social media content can suffer from a type of ‘brain rot’(一项由得克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校和得克萨斯农工大学开展的新研究表明，以热门但低质量的社交媒体内容为训练数据的大型语言模型，可能会出现一种‘脑退化’现象)”直接点明研究结论，随后介绍研究过程、具体发现(AI“脑退化”及其表现)和原因(低质量社交媒体训练内容)，最后讨论其影响和未来警示。由此可知，全文围绕低质量社交媒体内容导致人工智能“脑退化”这一核心展开。因此，D选项“AI ‘Brain Rot’: Caused by Low-Quality Social Media Training Content(AI‘脑退化’：由低质量社交媒体训练内容引起)”准确、全面地概括了文章的核心论述，适合作为本文标题。故选D。 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， How to Appreciate Art Art can often seem inaccessible because it has been stereotyped (老套的) in popular culture as something that only educated or wealthy people can enjoy. ____16____.

(艺术常常显得高不可攀，因为在流行文化中它被定型为只有受过教育或富有的人才能享受的东西)”描述了艺术在流行文化中被贴上的“精英专属”的刻板印象。D选项“However, this couldn’t be further from the truth (然而，这与事实相去甚远)”与上文构成强烈的转折关系，直接否定了上文提到的刻板印象，表明这种观点是完全错误的。下文“Anyone can come to appreciate art with a little bit of time and effort. (任何人都可以花一点时间和努力来欣赏艺术)”则是在D选项否定刻板印象后，提出的正面、包容性的观点。D选项起到了破旧立新的关键作用。故选D项。 【17题详解】 小标题“Understand the historical context of the time when the art was produced. (理解艺术创作时期的历史背景)”提出了第一条建议。F选项“Artists often create works about major historical events (艺术家经常创作关于重大历史事件的作品)”紧接小标题之后，说明了为何要了解历史背景的一个具体原因：因为艺术家常常将重大历史事件作为创作题材。下文“and this can give you a window into their unique perspective. (而这可以让你一窥他们独特的视角)”中的“this”正是指代F选项的内容(艺术家以历史事件为题材创作)，从而理解艺术家的视角。F选项是具体阐述“历史背景”重要性的第一步。故选F项。 【18题详解】 下文“If you’re looking at a painting, knowing what genre it belongs to can be helpful. Genres are essentially categories that are used to classify art. In painting, the established and well-known genres are landscape, portrait, genre paintings (which are paintings of scenes from ordinary life), history, and still life. (如果你在看一幅画，知道它属于什么类型会很有帮助。类型本质上是用来对艺术进行分类的类别。在绘画中，公认且著名的类型有风景画、肖像画、风俗画(描绘日常生活场景的画作)、历史画和静物画)”详细介绍了绘画的类型(genre)及其具体分类。A选项“Find out the genre of the painting (找出这幅画的类型)”是对下文的概括，点明了本段的核心建议。该句可以作为本段的小标题，与上下文其他段落结构(小标题+具体解释)保持一致。故选A项。 【19题详解】 上文“Learn about the art movements or schools that influenced the piece. Art movements were surges (增长) in popularity of certain ways of creating art. (了解影响了该作品的艺术运动或流派。艺术运动是某些创作方式流行度的激增)”引入了“艺术运动”和“艺术流派”这两个概念来解释艺术家创作风格。E选项“An art school is basically just a group of artists (一个艺术流派基本上就是一群艺术家)”具体解释了什么是“art school (艺术流派)”，将其定义为“一群艺术家”。下文“They may be all in the same region. They may all have a similar style or subject matter. (他们可能都在同一个地区。他们可能都有相似的风格或主题)”则是对E选项“a group of artists”这一概念的进一步特征描述，句中的“They”指代的就是E选项中的“a group of artists”。E选项起到了承上启下、具体解释“art school”的作用。故选E项。 【20题详解】 上文“Read up on the life and perspective of the artist. Learning a bit about the artist who created a piece can help shed light on it in a variety of ways. (研读艺术家的生平和观点。了解一点创作某件作品的艺术家的信息，可以从多方面帮助你理解它)”提出了通过了解艺术家生平来理解其作品的观点。C选项“It can help you understand their actions (它可以帮助你理解他们的行为)”顺承上文，具体说明了这种了解能带来何种帮助，句中“It”指代上文的“Learning a bit about the artist”，而“their actions”则对应下文破折号后的解释“why they made certain artistic decisions, or chose to make the work at all in the first place (为什么他们做出某些艺术决定，或者首先选择创作这件作品)”。C选项概括了下文即将要解释的具体内容。故选C项。 第二部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30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。 Elena wiped the dust from her only pair of shoes her eyes fixed on the grand art school across the street.

She hadn’t played there for a whole week because a bee had stung her, and the memory still made her heart race. She took a deep breath and finally opened the door, ready to face her fear. As soon as she stepped outside, a big bumblebee (大黄蜂), even bigger than her thumb, appeared. Its yellow and black body was covered with soft, fuzzy hair that shone in the sunlight, and its wings made a low humming sound as it hovered near the flowers. Ella stepped outside carefully, holding her breath and hoping the bee wouldn’t notice her. After just three steps, the bee flew straight toward her. It moved quickly but didn’t seem aggressive. It hovered in the air right in front of her nose, only a few inches away. Ella’s heart beat fast. She stepped back and crouched down. “Please don’t sting (蛰) me!” she cried. Ella wanted to run, but her legs wouldn’t move. To her astonishment, the bee replied, “I am a guard bee.” Ella was so surprised that the bee could speak that she momentarily forgot her fear. “What are you guarding?” she asked cautiously. “I just want to play on my swing.” The bumblebee hovered around Ella’s head and said, “I’m not stopping you from going anywhere. I’m here to guard you.” Ella wasn’t convinced. “Last week, a bee stung me for no reason. I really wish you wouldn’t follow me. What if you hurt me by accident?” she said, with her uneasy eyes fixed on the insect. “That must have been a terrible mistake.” the bee said, landing on a nearby leaf. “We only sting when we feel truly threatened. I promise. I’m here to protect you. not to harm you.” 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。 Just then, a big dog ran into Ella’s yard, barking loudly and running toward Ella. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Watching the dog run away, Ella felt very thankful for her little guardian. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, a big dog ran into Ella’s yard, barking loudly and running toward Ella. Memories of the sharp sting and the burning pain made her hands tremble. Ella was too scared to move, her old fears rushing back. But remembering the bee’s promise, she stood her ground. The brave bumblebee immediately flew into the dog’s face, buzzing fiercely. Confused and startled by the persistent insect, the dog eventually turned and fled. Watching the dog run away, Ella felt very thankful for her little guardian. All the tension in her shoulders melted away. All her fear vanished. A bright smile spread across her face and she gently held out her hand. “You kept your promise,” she said. The bee landed softly on her finger, its hum a friendly reply. In that moment, Ella conquered her fear. More importantly, she had gained an unexpected friendship built on trust and a kept promise. She learned that courage is built when someone keeps their word, and friendship begins when we trust enough to overcome our fears. 【解析】 【导语】本文以Ella克服对蜜蜂的恐惧为线索展开，讲述了Ella因被蜜蜂蛰过而不敢去后院荡秋千，却遇到一只会说话的大黄蜂自称“守护蜂”，在Ella半信半疑时，一只大狗闯入院子的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在这时，一只大狗跑进了艾拉的院子，大声地叫着，向艾拉跑去”可知，第一段可描写Ella面对大狗时的恐惧，以及大黄蜂履行承诺保护她的过程：Ella吓得僵住，回忆起大黄蜂的承诺后强装镇定，大黄蜂凶猛驱赶大狗，最终将其吓退。 ②由第二段首句内容“看着狗跑掉，Ella非常感谢她的小监护人”可知，第二段可描写Ella对大黄蜂的态度转变：她放下恐惧，主动与大黄蜂互动，不仅克服了对蜜蜂的害怕，还收获了友谊，最终开心地去荡秋千。 2. 续写线索： 大狗闯入——Ella 恐惧僵住——大黄蜂驱退大狗——Ella 感激释怀——互动建立友谊——开心去荡秋千 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①记得：remember/recall ②消失：vanish/fade away ③逃跑：flee/ run away ④获得：gain/obtain 情绪类 ①困惑的：confused/puzzled ②害怕：fear/dread 【点睛】【高分句型1】Ella was too scared to move, her old fears rushing back.
