Listed below are the ways the school celebrate success with students, parents and staff during the academic year. Merit Badges Merit badges are awarded in line with the student qualities. E.g., when a student reaches 200 merits in a semester for being kind, they receive their kind merit badge. The West Exe shield is awarded to students who have achieved all six merit badges. The Golden Ticket Every two weeks, all members of staff have a ‘Golden Ticket’ which they can award to any student who has displayed what the student qualities stand for. There will be a bi-weekly focus on one of the student qualities as positive reinforcement. The golden tickets awarded are then placed in a prize draw, for prizes suggested by the student body. Punctuality Award Students who are on time for every lesson across the week will be entered into a prize draw. This is to promote the importance of punctuality in school and in life. Headteacher Reward Headteacher’s Reward is given to students who have been nominated (提名) by staff members every month for demonstrating the qualities, behaviors and values of what it means to be an exceptional West Exe Student. They are also awarded to students who have shown exceptional achievement, either in school or as part of an extracurricular activity. This includes a certificate and pen, with a letter going home to parents to share news of the young person’s achievement. 1. Which of the following rewards is given most frequently? A. Merit Badges. B. The Golden Ticket. C. Punctuality Award. D. Headteacher Reward. 2. What do we know about Headteacher Reward? A. All staff members can be nominated for the award. B. Students rewarded will receive a certificate and a letter. C. Parents of the students awarded will be honored with a letter. D. Only students making outstanding achievements in school can be awarded. 3. Where is the text probably taken from? A. A school website. B. A news report. C. A travel leaflet. D. A book review. B Does work ever leave you feeling unchanged with limited opportunities to be creative? To fly high, you might want to increase your brain’s flexibility. But is this even possible, and if so, how? Most jobs require the ability to solve problems and cope with challenges, at least to a certain extent. Imagine a teacher who has a new and very nervous student in their class. If that teacher is a flexible thinker, they will be able to adapt their classroom management, even if they haven’t seen this situation before. According to Leonard Mlodinow, author of Elastic, flexible thinkers rely on idea generation and imagination — they are willing to experiment and take risks. “Flexible thinking is what you need when the circumstances change, and you are dealing with something new. It’s not about following rules.” Therefore, instead of following the typical procedure for inducting a new student, the teacher might come up with a tailored response, based on prediction and previous experience. So, how can you become a more flexible thinker? According to Dr Lisa Feldman Barrett, it’s all about exercising the brain. One way of doing this, she says, is through exposure to a variety of experiences which make it easier to adjust to new situations. A lot of companies now consider flexible thinking in the workplace, especially when it comes to design. Workspaces may have couches where workers can lie down and relax, giving them the space to come up with and process new ideas. Mlodinow says it’s very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone. This will help you understand multiple points of view and therefore blossom in many different aspects of your career. So, if you want to make a change, you can become a flexible thinker too, with a little practice. 4. Why does the author mention the teacher in paragraph 2? A. To indicate teachers are more flexible. B. To explain teachers are highly-paid. C. To prove the job faces little challenges. D. To show the job requires problem-solving skills. 5. What does the underlined word “tailored” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Fixed. B. Suitable. C. Permanent. D. Designed. 6. What is crucial for flexible thinkers? A. Following fixed rules. B. Lying down and sleep. C. Adjusting to new surroundings. D. Being exposed to various dangers. 7. What can be inferred about flexible thinking from the text? A. It can be trained by experiencing more. B. It leads people to step into comfort zone. C. It encourages people to perform the routine. D It emphasizes the risks of processing new ideas. C Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance. C. AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines. 9. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning. 11. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots D Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO₂ and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO₂ trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die. However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO₂ into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO₂ is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference. While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several concerns remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO₂ that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change. This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers a complementary approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration. The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come? 12. What is special about the trees found in Kenya? A. They absorb more CO₂. B. They help turn CO₂ into solids. C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria. 13. What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally? A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil. C. Quantifying the CO₂ transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity. 14. What does the underlined word “complementary” in the last but one paragraph probably mean? A. Essential. B. Primary. C. Alternative. D. Contradictory. 15. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs? A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development. C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions. 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Traveling itself is an experience hard to be described in words. ____16____ Especially the solo (独自) traveling experience is so transforming that it lives with you forever.

My mind was full of bad thoughts. You are too heavy and weak and silly for even trying this impossible climb. The worries had begun long before when I first joined this trip, back when I was still happy about six months without drinking. My advisor had said this might be too hard, but I wanted to show I could change my life. Now, standing on this dangerous mountain side, all that hope seemed foolish. The thin air made breathing difficult, and my uncomfortable shoes already hurt my feet. I watched jealously as the other twenty-eight climbers, mostly skilled walkers much younger than me, moved up the path easily. Their happy calls to each other only made me feel more alone. During our first break, one leader quietly talked to me. “Your bag is too heavy,” he said, looking at my full backpack. But it wasn’t just the bag’s weight slowing me down. It was years of mistakes, broken words, and lost friendships that I’d stupidly thought I could forget at the mountain’s bottom. As night came at camp, I stayed awake hearing the others sleep, my body hurting from tiredness. The freezing cold made my old knee problem worse, and whenever I tried to rest, I imagined falling down the rocky hill. Now, just an hour into the final climb, my eyes couldn’t see clearly from tiredness and held-back tears. The leader watched me, looking worried, but I couldn’t face him. Sarah, the trip planner, appeared like a dream in the early morning darkness. When I weakly said I wanted to stop, she didn’t answer right away. Instead, she looked at me carefully, making me want to disappear. Finally, she spoke, her voice clear over the loud wind: “The man who wrote to me months ago spoke about making life better on his own. Is that man really giving up now?” Her question hit me hard. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sarah’s words echoed in my mind as I forced myself to take another step. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally reached the summit the rising sun painted the sky gold. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山西大学附中 2025~2026学年第一学期高三年级12月模块诊断（总第七次） 英语试题 考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：150分 第一部分 听力 （共两节，满分30分）听力不计入总分 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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

One way of doing this, she says, is through exposure to a variety of experiences which make it easier to adjust to new situations.(丽莎·费尔德曼·巴雷特博士表示，这完全取决于锻炼大脑。她说，其中一种方法是通过接触各种各样的经历，这让人更容易适应新情况)”以及“Mlodinow says it’s very important to take time to daydream, listen to ideas and concepts you disagree with and spend time doing activities outside of your comfort zone. This will help you understand multiple points of view and therefore blossom in many different aspects of your career.(Mlodinow说，花时间做白日梦、倾听你不同意的想法和概念，以及花时间做你舒适区之外的活动，这些都很重要。这将帮助你理解多种观点，从而在你的职业生涯的许多不同方面取得成功)”可推知，要想拥有弹性思维，可以通过锻炼大脑、更多的体验、灵活调适环境等方式获取。故选A项。 C Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme. Such forethought is unexpected. Scientists at Anthropic, the lab that developed Claude, built a tool and they discovered some unexpected complexity. The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits. This has let the team solve some open questions in AI research, for example, whether a multilingual (多语言的) chatbot has awareness of concepts beyond language. When Claude is asked for the opposite of “big” in English, or the same concept in Chinese, the same feature lights up in every case, before more language-specific circuits kick in to “translate” the concept of smallness into a particular word. This suggests that AI might have a deeper understanding of the world than we thought. Other insights, though, are less encouraging. When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong. But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future. The goal, after all, is not to have to do brain surgery, but to know what it’s thinking. 8. What does the writer intend to show through the example in paragraph 1? A. AI can write texts as programmed. B. AI can plan sentences in advance. C AI can deal with complex tasks. D. AI can simplify rhyming lines. 9. How does “digital microscope” function in the research? A. By tracking AI’s thinking activities. B. By working on different jobs. C. By activating AI’s “brain” potential. D. By matching language patterns. 10. What can be inferred from paragraph 5 about Claude? A. It may make stuff up. B. It may skip chains of thought. C. It may leave clues out. D. It may give logical reasoning. 11. Which of the following titles best suits this text? A. Why AI Still Gets It Wrong B. Chatbots’ Language Magic C. Looking Inside AI’s Mind D. The Rise of AI Chatbots 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍研究人员通过“数字显微镜”探究AI（如Claude）的思维机制，揭示其提前规划、概念理解及推理问题，并提及研究意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Imagine you’re writing a poem, rhymes must be paired up before you start a new line. It turns out that AI does something similar! When Claude, a large language model (LLM), is given the first line “he saw a carrot and had to grab it”, it begins thinking about words like “rabbit” almost immediately, writing the next sentence to end at the appropriate rhyme.(想象一下你正在写诗，在开始新的一行之前，必须先搭配好押韵词。事实证明，人工智能也会做类似的事情！当大型语言模型（LLM）克劳德（Claude）得到第一行文字“he saw a carrot and had to grab it”（他看到一根胡萝卜，不得不抓住它）时，它几乎立刻就开始思考像“rabbit”（兔子）这样的词，并写出下一个句子，使其结尾有合适的押韵词。)”可知，作者以AI写诗提前思考押韵词为例，是为了说明AI能提前规划句子。故选B项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks. If a particular area of the LLM lights up whenever it produces words like rabbit, then that gets marked as being related to rabbits.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具，能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时，其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活。如果大型语言模型（LLM）的某个特定区域在生成“rabbit”（兔子）这类词时总会被激活，那么该区域就会被标记为与“兔子”相关。)”可知，“数字显微镜”通过追踪AI的思维活动（神经网络激活情况）发挥作用。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“When Claude itself is asked to reason, printing out its chain of thought to answer maths questions, the microscope suggests that the way the model says it reached a conclusion, and what it actually thought, might not always be the same. Worse still, ask a leading question — suggesting that the answer “might be 4”, and it will specifically add numbers that ultimately lead it to agree with the question, even if the suggestion is wrong.(当要求克劳德（Claude）进行推理，输出其思考过程来解答数学问题时，“数字显微镜”显示，该模型声称得出结论的方式与其实际思考过程可能并不总是一致的。更糟糕的是，若提出一个诱导性问题——暗示答案“可能是4”，即便这个暗示是错误的，它也会特意添加数字，最终得出与该问题暗示一致的结论。)”可知，Claude可能会编造思考过程或结果来迎合错误暗示，即“可能会编造内容”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段中的“The tool, a “digital microscope”, lets scientists look at which parts of the AI’s neural (神经的) network light up when it’s working on different tasks.(这个被称为“数字显微镜”的工具，能让科学家观察到人工智能在处理不同任务时，其神经网络的哪些部分会被激活。)”以及最后一段中的“But being able to gain insight into the mind of an LLM provides clues as to how to stop it doing the same in the future.(但能够深入了解大型语言模型（LLM）的“思维”，为未来找到阻止它出现类似问题的方法提供了线索。)”可知，文章围绕通过“数字显微镜”探究AI的“思维”展开，“探究AI的内心（思维）”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D Throughout history, trees have played a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance. They absorb CO₂ and transform it into oxygen. But one of the challenges with this traditional carbon absorption is that the CO₂ trees store can be released back into the atmosphere when they die. However, the discovery of certain trees in Kenya adds a new dimension to this natural process. These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO₂ into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO₂ is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference. While the scientific community is optimistic about these findings, several concerns remain. The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO₂ that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally. Understanding the ecological balance and ensuring the preservation of biodiversity are crucial before worldwide planting of these trees. Cooperative research efforts are needed to explore these aspects and develop a comprehensive strategy for using these trees as a natural solution to climate change. This discovery in Kenya invites us to reconsider the potential of natural processes in addressing environmental challenges. While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers a complementary approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration. The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come? 12. What is special about the trees found in Kenya? A. They absorb more CO₂. B. They help turn CO₂ into solids. C. They release oxygen quickly. D. They live in harmony with bacteria. 13. What is the core challenge before applying the discovery globally? A. Assessing the cost of the process. B. Understanding the impact on soil. C. Quantifying the CO₂ transformation. D. Collecting the data on biodiversity. 14. What does the underlined word “complementary” in the last but one paragraph probably mean? A. Essential. B. Primary. C. Alternative. D. Contradictory. 15. What does the author try to explore in the last two paragraphs? A. The seriousness of climate change. B. The method of green development. C. The prospect of scientific approaches. D. The role of nature in climate solutions. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍树木在维持生态平衡中的作用，重点阐述肯尼亚发现的特殊树木能将二氧化碳转化为碳酸钙以实现长期固碳的独特过程，同时提及当前研究面临的挑战，并指出该发现为利用自然方法应对气候变化提供了新思路。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“These trees, also found in several other countries, have been observed to transform CO₂ into calcium oxalate. Then bacteria (细菌) present in the trees and surrounding soil transform it further into calcium carbonate (碳酸钙), a primary component of limestone and chalk. The unique process ensures that the CO₂ is kept in solid form for much longer, even after the tree’s life ends. This finding was emphasized by Mike Rowley from the University of Zurich at the Goldschmidt Conference.(这类树木在其他几个国家也有分布，研究观察到它们能将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙。随后，树木内部及周围土壤中的细菌会进一步将草酸钙转化为碳酸钙 —— 石灰岩和白垩的主要成分。这一独特过程确保二氧化碳以固态形式被长期封存，即便树木寿命终结也不会轻易释放)”可知，肯尼亚发现的树木特殊之处在于，它们能通过一系列过程将二氧化碳转化为草酸钙，进而转化为碳酸钙，使二氧化碳以固态形式长期封存。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“The primary concern is determining the exact amount of CO₂ that these trees can transform throughout their lifetime. Without this accurate data, it is challenging to assess the full impact of this method globally.(首要的问题在于确定这些树木在其整个生命周期内能够转化的二氧化碳的具体量。若没有这一准确的数据，就难以全面评估这种方法在全球范围内的影响)”可知，在全球应用这一发现前，核心挑战是确定这类树木在生命周期内转化二氧化碳的精确量，即对二氧化碳转化量进行量化。故选C。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers a(虽然针对气候变化的技术解决方案至关重要，但将自然方法加以整合提供了一种……)”以及划线词后文“The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.(这些树木的独特特性为我们提供了探索的潜在方法)”可知，这些树木的独特特性为我们提供了探索的潜在方法，说明应对气候变化的技术方案很重要，而结合自然方法是一种补充性的途径。故划线词意思是“补充的”。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“While technological solutions to climate change are vital, integrating natural methods offers a complementary approach. The unique ability of these trees presents a promising method for exploration.(虽然针对气候变化的技术解决方案至关重要，但结合自然方法则提供了一种互补的解决途径。这些树木的独特特性为探索开辟了一条有前景的路径)”以及最后一段“The journey to fighting climate change is complex. As we dig deeper into understanding natural phenomena like the Kenyan trees, we must ask ourselves: How can we make the best of the power of nature to create a sustainable future for generations to come?(应对气候变化的征程是复杂的。随着我们更深入地探究像肯尼亚的树木这样的自然现象，我们必须扪心自问：我们如何才能充分利用大自然的力量，为子孙后代创造一个可持续的未来呢？)”可知，作者在最后两段中试图探讨自然在气候解决方案中的作用。故选D。 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。 Traveling itself is an experience hard to be described in words. ____16____ Especially the solo (独自) traveling experience is so transforming that it lives with you forever.

My mind was full of bad thoughts. You are too heavy and weak and silly for even trying this impossible climb. The worries had begun long before when I first joined this trip, back when I was still happy about six months without drinking. My advisor had said this might be too hard, but I wanted to show I could change my life. Now, standing on this dangerous mountain side, all that hope seemed foolish. The thin air made breathing difficult, and my uncomfortable shoes already hurt my feet. I watched jealously as the other twenty-eight climbers, mostly skilled walkers much younger than me, moved up the path easily. Their happy calls to each other only made me feel more alone. During our first break, one leader quietly talked to me. “Your bag is too heavy,” he said, looking at my full backpack. But it wasn’t just the bag’s weight slowing me down. It was years of mistakes, broken words, and lost friendships that I’d stupidly thought I could forget at the mountain’s bottom. As night came at camp, I stayed awake hearing the others sleep, my body hurting from tiredness. The freezing cold made my old knee problem worse, and whenever I tried to rest, I imagined falling down the rocky hill. Now, just an hour into the final climb, my eyes couldn’t see clearly from tiredness and held-back tears. The leader watched me, looking worried, but I couldn’t face him. Sarah, the trip planner, appeared like a dream in the early morning darkness. When I weakly said I wanted to stop, she didn’t answer right away. Instead, she looked at me carefully, making me want to disappear. Finally, she spoke, her voice clear over the loud wind: “The man who wrote to me months ago spoke about making life better on his own. Is that man really giving up now?” Her question hit me hard. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Sarah’s words echoed in my mind as I forced myself to take another step. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I finally reached the summit, the rising sun painted the sky gold. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Sarah’s words echoed in my mind as I forced myself to take another step. The cold wind cut through my clothes, but her belief in me warmed my heart. I focused on putting one foot in front of the other, counting each movement. With each movement, my confidence grew. Though my legs still ached, the pain became my motivation. The guide beside me nodded approvingly when I passed the next resting spot without stopping. Looking up at the winding path ahead, I realized the summit was closer than I thought. When I finally reached the summit, the rising sun painted the sky gold. Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the incredible view — clouds floating below us like a white ocean. Sarah came over and put a hand on my shoulder. “I knew you could do it,” she said simply. At that moment, I understood something important. The mountain hadn’t changed; I had. As we took group photos, smiling with windburned faces, I realized this journey wasn’t just about climbing a mountain. It was about learning that our greatest limitations are often the ones we place on ourselves. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者在戒酒六个月后参加登山，途中双腿颤抖、体力不支，被年轻登山者超越，背包过重且内心充满过往失误的痛苦。最终在领队和策划者Sarah的激励下，作者决定直面挑战。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“Sarah的话在我脑海中回荡，我强迫自己再迈出一步。”可知，第一段可以描写作者在登山过程中身体的疲惫与环境的严酷，穿插Sarah鼓励的话语如何在脑海中回响，成为支撑作者继续前行的精神力量；同时刻画作者从自我怀疑到逐步建立信心的心理转变，以及向导的肯定如何进一步激励作者不放弃。 ②由第二段句首内容“当我终于到达山顶时，初升的太阳把天空染成了金色。”可知，第二段可以描写登顶瞬间的壮丽景象与作者的情感爆发：日出染金天空、云海翻涌的视觉震撼，与Sarah默契对视、她轻搭肩膀的动作细节，以及她简短却有力的话语；最后升华主旨——真正的高峰不是山，而是突破自我设限的心路历程，领悟“限制源于内心”的成长哲理。 2.续写线索：强迫自己再迈出一步——环境严酷——身体疲惫——回忆鼓励——信心重建——向导肯定——登顶震撼——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注于：focus on/concentrate on/fix attention on ② 点头：nod/give a nod ③ 经过：pass/go past 情绪类 ① 信心：confidence/assurance ② 赞许：approvingly/in approval/with approval 【点睛】【高分句型1】Though my legs still ached, the pain became my motivation.
