Whether you are looking for culture, history, nature, or cuisine, you will find a place to suit your taste here. Below are four popular tourist destinations in Myanmar. Yangon Yangon has a large population, but the city doesn’t seem crowded. There are trees everywhere, which gives it a totally different feel from other Asian cities. At night, Yangon’s wide streets come alive with stalls (货摊) selling delicious food. The most famous temple is the gold-plated Shwedagon Paya. The colonial architecture of the Strand Hotel is another great sight. Mandalay Picturesque Mandalay is famous for being the old royal capital of Myanmar. In the past, Burmese kings would have lived in the city and you can still see some of their palaces in evidence. Mandalay is also known for its Chinese and Indian immigrants. One of the best things to do here is to spend time enjoying the varied cuisines on offer. Its scenic mountains and beautiful waterfalls are what visitors should not miss. Bagan Travelers with a passion for Buddhist temples should have a field day in Bagan, since it contains the most of these in the world. The most popular destination in Bagan was the capital of the First Burmese Empire from the 9th to the 13th centuries. Today the site is still home to thousands of temples and pagodas, including the famous Ananda Temple with its sparkling gold spires. Kalaw If you want to explore the rural and natural beauty of Myanmar, Kalaw is a must-go place. When trekking (长途跋涉) through the hills of Kalaw, you will experience the diverse landscapes, cultures, and lifestyles of the local people, as well as enjoy the fresh air and scenic views. You will need a guide to show you the way and arrange your accommodation. 1. What makes Yangon different from other Asian cities? A. Its large population. B. Shwedagon Paya. C. Its delicious food. D. The trees everywhere. 2. What do Mandalay and Bagan have in common? A. The old capital identity. B. The diverse cuisines. C. The royal palaces. D. The Buddhist temples. 3. What will visitors experience in Kalaw? A. The temple culture. B. The local lifestyle. C. The cozy accommodation. D. The fresh cuisines. Ernst Mach was a weak child, born in Moravia（now Czechia）in 1838. He didn’t even go to school until the age of 14. Instead, his parents educated him at home. Like many genius children, his teachers criticized him, calling him “unteachable, absolutely talentless.” Yet young Mach excelled at university in Vienna. He studied mathematics, physics and philosophy. He was also boundlessly curious. He conducted all kinds of experiments, believing that theories must be tried, tested, and proven in facts, but first formulated in the mind. He brought this rigorous（严密的）approach to his studies, believing that true science is based on what actually happens and can be observed. In addition to his work in the sciences, Mach was also a well-rounded student, with interests in philosophy and even sports. He was an excellent boxer and fencer, which reflected the wide range of his abilities and interests. As a teacher, Mach was serious and demanding. That was the model of pedagogy （教学）of his time, and Mach followed this standard: tight collar, buttoned-down tie, waistcoat and jacket, and serious eyes behind wire-framed glasses. He expected exactness from his students. Among those he influenced was the young Albert Einstein. Mach’s insistence on clarity and rigorous testing of ideas helped shape Einstein’s thinking. Though Mach was doubtful about some of Einstein’s later conclusions, such as E=mc2, his doubt drove Einstein to prove his ideas further. He pushed the young Einstein to achieve excellence. While Mach is credited with many theories of his own, including the aircraft velocity（速度）measurement that bears his name, “Mach 1. Mach 2, etc.”, his mentorship of Einstein is perhaps his greatest achievement. The best teachers in our lives also challenge us and see us as not yet complete but full of potential. They shine a light on the path that gets us to a successful reality. And through us, they live on. 4. What can we know about Ernst Mach from paragraph 1? A. He attended university at the age of 14. B. He was considered a genius by his teachers. C. His early education was shaped by his parents. D. His physical disability discouraged his studying. 5. How did Ernst Mach impact Albert Einstein? A. He forced Einstein to give in. B. He challenged Einstein to excel. C. He introduced new theories to Einstein. D. He inspired Einstein to focus on physics. 6. Which can best describe Ernst Mach? A. Cautious and ambitious. B. Professional and influential. C. Diligent and dependent. D. Incredible and accessible. 7. In which column of a magazine can we probably read this text? A. Sports. B. Travel. C. Fashion. D. Education. Cuckoos (杜鹃) are a familiar and beloved species in the UK, whose arrival marks the beginning of summer. They make a long journey from their wintering grounds in Africa to raise its young on the British Isles. However, the cuckoo population in the UK is falling sharply. Since 1995, the number of breeding cuckoos has dropped by 35%. To understand why this is happening, researchers at the British Trust for ornithology (鸟类学) are now using high-tech equipment to find answers. Researchers have been attaching satellite tags (标签) to cuckoos, which send out real-time location data. This data reveals how long cuckoos spend in the UK, when they leave, and which migration (迁徙) routes they take between the UK and Africa. The hope is that this data will give scientists a detailed understanding of cuckoo migration, the threats they face along the way, and the conservation measures that could be adopted to improve their chances of survival. The tags have already revealed many insights into cuckoo migration. It’s hoped that as data keeps coming in, scientists will better understand the factors that influence whether cuckoos survive their migration, and therefore the best ways to help protect the species. It’s not just the scientists who have been eagerly tracking the tagged birds, though. The tags provide live location data which is published on an online map. Members of the public can therefore watch the cuckoos’ incredible journeys, too, and if you click on the individuals on the map, you can find out more about each bird. “This ongoing project opens a significant window on the wonders of migration, and our discoveries are helping to shape the way we look at bird migration more widely,” says lead scientist on the project, Dr. Chris Hewson. “It will also lay a foundation (基础) from which cuckoo conservation measures can be planned, increasing the likelihood that the call of these birds will grace our summers for generations to come.” 8. What is the purpose of the British Trust for ornithology’s research? A. To find out why there are fewer and fewer cuckoos. B. To find out what happened to cuckoos’ habitat. C. To test out how to make an online map for Africa. D. To test out how high-tech equipment can be used in the research. 9. How can the public be involved in the cuckoo tracking project according to the passage? A. By contributing funds to the research. B. By following the live location data online. C. By observing the birds in their natural habitat. D. By participating in bird watching tours. 10. Which statement may Dr. Chris Hewson agree with about the project? A. It inspires the public’s passion for technology. B. It shows the exact population of cuckoos in the UK. C. It lays a foundation for the species’ conservation. D. It will help cuckoos choose a safer migration route. 11. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. Cuckoos’ Migration Routes B. Conservation Measures for Birds C. Decline of New Species in the UK D. Tracking Cuckoos’ Journeys In recent years, prefabricated dishes have grown rapidly popular in China. These are pre-cooked, seasoned, and packaged meals that require little to no preparation, offering a quick and convenient dining option without sacrificing major taste or nutrition. As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. Other factors also contribute to their popularity — such as the convenience of e-commerce and delivery services that allow easy online ordering and quick home delivery, and the role of modern technology like vacuum and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage. Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. Additionally, when compared to traditional freshly prepared meals, they often fall short in keeping the original flavor and nutritional value. In response, governments have carried out stricter safety standards and enhanced quality control measures. Meanwhile, certain manufacturers are actively exploring the use of natural ingredients and reducing additives to improve nutritional composition. As a growing trend in China’s food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development — where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. 12. What is the main reason behind the popularity of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. The social trend of pursuing a modern lifestyle. B. The government’s strong promotion and supports. C. The superior flavor they offer compared to home-cooked meals. D. The time-saving convenience they provide in a fast-paced society. 13. The underlined word “spoilage” in Paragraph 2 most probably means the process of ______. A. losing nutritional value B. changing original flavor C. becoming bad or unfit to eat D. being delivered to customers 14. Which of the following best describes the current situation of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. They are gradually replacing traditional cooking in most households. B. They are achieving widespread acceptance and also arousing doubts. C. They are considered as equally nutritious as freshly prepared meals. D. They have mostly addressed food safety issues through regulations. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the industry’s future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 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。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ____16____ Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. ____17____ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ____18____ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ____19____ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ____20____ matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 第二部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45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。 I was an eighth-grader without ever really learning how to read.

After school, you could always find them on the school basketball court, sweat dripping from their foreheads as the sun dipped low. Peter had a natural talent for shooting hoops, while Oliver struggled a little with his dribbling (运球). Though Oliver didn’t play as well as Peter, he was a warm-hearted child willing to accept others’ opinions. The basketball court often witnessed their laughter mixed with the sound of the ball bouncing on the concrete. A piece of exciting news came one day: the school would attend a youth basketball tournament of the city. All boys buzzed with excitement. Almost every one of them wanted to join the school team, and Peter and Oliver wanted it more than anyone else. “Imagine us playing together on the court, representing our school!” Peter said one day, grinning. Oliver’s eyes lit up. From that day on, they trained even harder. They woke up early to practice before school, worked on passing drills during lunch breaks, and stayed late to perfect their shots. Oliver’s skills got better, but he still looked up to Peter. The day the school team list was announced finally arrived. Everyone sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for the headmaster, Mr. Lee, to speak. Peter sat up straight, confident he’d make it. But Oliver’s hands were shaking, and he stared at his desk, too nervous to look up. Peter gently nudged (轻推) him. “Don’t worry,” he whispered. “We’re both getting in. I know it.” Mr. Lee started reading the names: “Tom, Jake, Sam… Peter.” A big smile spread across Peter’s face. He turned to high-five Oliver, only to see Oliver’s pale face. Mr. Lee finished the list, and Oliver’s name wasn’t there. Oliver’s shoulders slumped, and he stared out the window, blinking hard to hold back tears. After Mr. Lee left, Oliver dashed out of the room. 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。 Peter ran after Oliver, trying to comfort him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The match day saw Oliver sitting beside the court, happily watching. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 平冈中学2025-2026学年第一学期期中考试 高二年级英语试题 考试时间：14:30-16:30 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 If you’re looking for a truly original country to visit, then Myanmar is the place.

These are pre-cooked, seasoned, and packaged meals that require little to no preparation, offering a quick and convenient dining option without sacrificing major taste or nutrition. As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. Other factors also contribute to their popularity — such as the convenience of e-commerce and delivery services that allow easy online ordering and quick home delivery, and the role of modern technology like vacuum and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage. Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. Additionally, when compared to traditional freshly prepared meals, they often fall short in keeping the original flavor and nutritional value. In response, governments have carried out stricter safety standards and enhanced quality control measures. Meanwhile, certain manufacturers are actively exploring the use of natural ingredients and reducing additives to improve nutritional composition. As a growing trend in China’s food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development — where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. 12. What is the main reason behind the popularity of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. The social trend of pursuing a modern lifestyle. B. The government’s strong promotion and supports. C. The superior flavor they offer compared to home-cooked meals. D. The time-saving convenience they provide in a fast-paced society. 13. The underlined word “spoilage” in Paragraph 2 most probably means the process of ______. A. losing nutritional value B. changing original flavor C. becoming bad or unfit to eat D. being delivered to customers 14. Which of the following best describes the current situation of prefabricated dishes according to the text? A. They are gradually replacing traditional cooking in most households. B. They are achieving widespread acceptance and also arousing doubts. C. They are considered as equally nutritious as freshly prepared meals. D. They have mostly addressed food safety issues through regulations. 15. What is the author’s attitude toward the industry’s future? A. Favorable. B. Objective. C. Critical. D. Indifferent. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了预制菜在中国迅速流行的原因、带来的问题以及目前的发展现状，并对其未来提出了期望。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As people grow increasingly busier, time for cooking has become a rare resource. Prefabricated dishes address this pressing need by offering a significant reduction in meal preparation time. (随着人们越来越忙，烹饪时间成为一种稀缺资源。预制菜通过大幅减少备餐时间来解决这一迫切需求)”和“Along with precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality, it is ultimately the fundamental demand for time-saving solutions in a nonstop world that serves as the primary driving force for their widespread acceptance. (除了精确的温度控制和杀菌技术能确保安全与质量外，最终而言，在这个不停运转的世界里，人们对省时解决方案的基本需求才是它们被广泛接受的主要驱动力)”可知，预制菜受欢迎的主要原因是它们在快节奏的社会中提供了节省时间的便利。故选D项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“the role of modern technology like vacuum and adjusted atmosphere packaging slows food spoilage (真空和气调包装等现代技术的作用减缓了食物的spoilage)”及“precise temperature control and bacteria-killing techniques that ensure safety and quality (精确的温度控制和杀菌技术能确保安全与质量)”可知，真空包装、气调包装与温控杀菌技术的核心作用是保障食品安全与品质，减缓食物变质。因此，spoilage指的是“食物变质、不宜食用的过程”。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“In recent years, prefabricated dishes have grown rapidly popular in China. (近年来，预制菜在中国迅速流行起来)”和第三段中“However, the rise of prefabricated dishes is not without concerns. Health issues remain a primary consideration, as some products contain additives and preservatives, which could pose risks if consumed excessively. (然而，预制菜的兴起并非没有担忧。健康问题仍然是首要考虑因素，因为一些产品含有添加剂和防腐剂，过量食用可能会带来风险)”可知，预制菜获得了广泛接受，但也引起了一些担忧。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“As a growing trend in China’s food industry, prefabricated dishes provide undeniable convenience, yet consumers are advised to remain cautious about their dietary choices. The future of the industry relies on balanced development — where convenience, safety, and health can coexist. (作为中国食品行业的一个日益增长的趋势，预制菜提供了不可否认的便利性，但建议消费者在饮食选择上保持谨慎。该行业的未来取决于均衡发展——让便利、安全与健康能够共存)”可知，作者既提到了预制菜的便利性，也指出了其存在的问题，并对其未来提出了期望。因此，作者对预制菜行业的未来持客观态度。故选B项。 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。 After hours of cooking and arranging the table, your goal is simple: to create an unforgettable dining experience for your guests. But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. ____16____ Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. ____17____ The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. So, making the food visually attractive is key, as guests will assume it tastes as good as it looks. For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. ____18____ They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. A red bowl can also make them hesitant to try new dishes, and they might even refuse food if the bowl’s colour doesn’t suit them. Choosing the right tableware colour is top priority here. White plates are usually a safe choice, but avoid them with pale foods, which will look tasteless. They work well with vibrant dishes like salads or roasted meats, making the food’s colours stand out. For desserts, white plates enhance sweetness and flavor intensity. ____19____ Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. ____20____ matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. Understanding colour psychology lets you turn a simple meal into a memorable experience — all through smart tableware choices. It allows you to guide your guests’ perceptions subtly, ensuring that each dish not only tastes wonderful but also feels perfectly suited to the moment. A. Dark plates have more varied effects. B. They prefer simple tableware without any patterns. C. The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. D. That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. E. Using the wrong colour can ruin the overall dining mood. F. Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. G. The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. 【答案】16. G 17. D 18. F 19. A 20. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了餐具颜色对食物感受的影响，以及如何通过选择合适的餐具颜色来提升用餐体验。 【16题详解】 根据上文“But success isn’t just about fresh ingredients or cooking skills. (但成功不仅仅取决于新鲜的食材或烹饪技巧。)”以及下文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. (颜色的影响从第一眼就开始了。)”可知，上文说用餐体验不仅仅取决于新鲜的食材或烹饪技巧，下文则提到了颜色。G选项“The colour of tableware like plates, shapes how guests feel about the food. (盘子等餐具的颜色会影响客人对食物的感受。)”承接上文“成功的用餐体验不止于食材和厨艺”，引出下文“颜色的影响”，“The colour of tableware”与下文“Colour’s influence”直接呼应，明确了文章核心话题 —— 餐具颜色的重要性。故选G项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Colour’s influence starts with the first glance. (颜色的影响始于第一眼。)”以及下文“The brain processes colour information and links it to taste, making us judge the same dish as delicious, average, or unappealing. (大脑处理颜色信息并将其与味道关联，让我们判断同一道菜是美味、普通还是令人反感。)”可知，此处应描述第一眼看到食物颜色后的一系列反应，D选项“That initial visual impression brings about a chain reaction. (这种最初的视觉印象会引发连锁反应。)”中的“initial visual impression”与上文的“first glance”相呼应，“a chain reaction”则引出下文大脑对颜色信息的处理和判断。故选D项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“For picky eaters, bowl colour is crucial. (对于挑食的人来说，碗的颜色至关重要。)”以及下文“They often find meals in red or blue bowls saltier than in white ones. (他们经常发现放在红色或蓝色碗里的饭菜比放在白色碗里的更咸。)”可知，此处应描述挑食者对餐具颜色的敏感反应，F选项“Their reactions to tableware colours are often more sensitive. (他们对餐具颜色的反应往往更敏感。)”解释了“碗的颜色对挑食者至关重要”的原因，即敏感度更高，“Their”指代“picky eaters”，“more sensitive”与下文具体的颜色反应相呼应，逻辑连贯。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Black plates, for example, can make food seem saltier and larger in portion. This means dark tableware needs careful consideration of the dish’s flavor and portion size. (例如，黑色盘子会让食物看起来更咸、分量更大。这意味着深色餐具需要仔细考虑菜品的味道和分量。)”可知，此处应描述深色盘子对食物感受的影响，A选项“Dark plates have more varied effects. (深色盘子有更多样化的效果。)”是对下文内容的概括，“Dark plates”对应下文 “Black plates”“dark tableware”，“more varied effects”点明深色餐具的特点，引出下文具体举例说明，适合作为段落首句。故选A项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“On the contrary, bright plates add creativity and highlight less colorful foods but can go wrong. (相反，亮色盘子能增添创意，突出颜色较淡的食物，但也可能出错。)”以及下文“matching the plate’s colour too closely to the food can make portions seem smaller, as everything blends. (如果盘子的颜色和食物的颜色太接近，会让食物看起来分量更小，因为一切都融合在一起了。)”可知，此处应描述明亮盘子可能出错的具体情况，C选项“The wrong bright shade makes food look artificial. (错误的明亮色调会让食物看起来不自然。)” 是对“亮色盘子可能出错”的具体说明，与下文“颜色过于接近导致分量显小”并列，补充了亮色餐具的另一个弊端，“The wrong bright shade”呼应上文“can go wrong”，衔接紧密。故选C项。 第二部分 语言运用（共三节，满分45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。 I was an eighth-grader without ever really learning how to read.

After school, you could always find them on the school basketball court, sweat dripping from their foreheads as the sun dipped low. Peter had a natural talent for shooting hoops, while Oliver struggled a little with his dribbling (运球). Though Oliver didn’t play as well as Peter, he was a warm-hearted child willing to accept others’ opinions. The basketball court often witnessed their laughter mixed with the sound of the ball bouncing on the concrete. A piece of exciting news came one day: the school would attend a youth basketball tournament of the city. All boys buzzed with excitement. Almost every one of them wanted to join the school team, and Peter and Oliver wanted it more than anyone else. “Imagine us playing together on the court, representing our school!” Peter said one day, grinning. Oliver’s eyes lit up. From that day on, they trained even harder. They woke up early to practice before school, worked on passing drills during lunch breaks, and stayed late to perfect their shots. Oliver’s skills got better, but he still looked up to Peter. The day the school team list was announced finally arrived. Everyone sat on the edge of their seats, waiting for the headmaster, Mr. Lee, to speak. Peter sat up straight, confident he’d make it. But Oliver’s hands were shaking, and he stared at his desk, too nervous to look up. Peter gently nudged (轻推) him. “Don’t worry,” he whispered. “We’re both getting in. I know it.” Mr. Lee started reading the names: “Tom, Jake, Sam… Peter.” A big smile spread across Peter’s face. He turned to high-five Oliver, only to see Oliver’s pale face. Mr. Lee finished the list, and Oliver’s name wasn’t there. Oliver’s shoulders slumped, and he stared out the window, blinking hard to hold back tears. After Mr. Lee left, Oliver dashed out of the room. 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。 Peter ran after Oliver, trying to comfort him. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The match day saw Oliver sitting beside the court, happily watching. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Peter ran after Oliver, trying to comfort him. Peter sat silently beside him. “Don’t be sad. You have your advantages. Don’t give up on yourself just because of one failure.” he patted Oliver on the shoulder, looking straight into his eyes sincerely. Then Peter told Oliver that because he was meticulous, considerate and had strong organizational skills, the team needed him. Serving the team was as meaningful as playing on the court. Oliver lowered his head and thought for a while, then nodded, knowing what he should do. Oliver and Peter smiled knowingly at each other. The match day saw Oliver sitting beside the court, happily watching. He brought water bottles for everyone, wiped the sweat off their faces with towels, and shouted loudest when Peter scored a three-pointer. In the final minute, Tom twisted his ankle and had to stop. Mr. Lee looked worried — until Peter pointed at Oliver. “Let him play!” he yelled. Oliver froze, then rushed onto the court. With the crowd cheering, he made a perfect pass to Peter, who won the game with a last-second shot. Afterward, Oliver grinned at Peter. “We did it,” he said. Peter laughed. “Told you we’d play together.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Peter和Oliver热爱篮球，为参加青年篮球锦标赛刻苦训练，学校公布校队名单时，Peter入选而Oliver落选，Oliver伤心地冲出教室，Peter追出去安慰他。 【详解】段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“彼得追着奥利弗跑，试图安慰他。”可知，第一段可描写彼得安慰奥利弗，告诉他落选并不意味着他不够好，他有自己的优势，团队需要他，奥利弗思考后点头。 ②由第二段首句内容“比赛当天，奥利弗坐在球场边，开心地看着。”可知，第二段可描写奥利弗在比赛时为队员服务，在最后关键时刻，奥利弗上场并完美传球给彼得，彼得投进最后一球赢得比赛。 续写线索：彼得安慰——奥利弗思考——奥利弗为队员服务——奥利弗上场——完美传球——赢得比赛 词汇激活 行为类 ①轻拍：pat/tap ②大喊：yell/exclaim ③冲上：rush onto/dash onto 情绪类 ①真诚地：sincerely/genuinely ②担心的：worried/concerned 【点睛】[高分句型1] Then Peter told Oliver that because he was meticulous, considerate and had strong organizational skills, the team needed him.(运用了连词that引导的宾语从句和从属连词because引导的原因状语从句) [高分句型2] With the crowd cheering, he made a perfect pass to Peter, who won the game with a last-second shot.(运用了with的复合结构作状语和关系代词who引导的非限制性定语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
