In it, a kouji performer, specializing in vocal mimicry, creates lifelike performances of various sounds using just his mouth, with the stage having only a table, a block of wood on it, a chair and a fan. Originating from ancient China, the art of kouji involves skillfully using movements of the lips, teeth, throat, and tongue to produce sounds that mimic birds, animals, and various other noises in the world. It is often combined with story-telling during performances. In 2011, kouji was recognized as a national intangible cultural heritage. According to the IHChina website, traditional kouji is becoming endangered due to the rapid development of electronic audio. However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art. Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her B -box performance. "As a former percussionis (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise." she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic." The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences." said Cao. In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as DJ. "Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do," said Cao, "As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it." 4. What does the article tell us about kouji ? A. It involves five parts of the human mouth. B. It originated in the Western Han dynasty. C. It usually mixes sound mimicry with storytelling. D. It received national heritage status in 2001. 5. How has Cao Quyang contributed to the preservation of kouji? A. By developing a new form of art. B. By employing it to compose pop songs. C. By including digital effects in her performances. D. By combining it with percussion instruments. 6. What aspect of kouji does Cao enhance with beatboxing ? A. Visual appeal. B. Emotional depth. C. Mimicry accuracy. D. Rhythmic complexity. 7. What does Cao think of innovation ? A. It presents challenges and risks of failure. B. It is a means of beautifying the old. C. It is a way to bridge understanding. D. It serves as a form of self-expression. C What comes into your mind when you think of British food? Probably fish and chips or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the bestseller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 8. Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. British food is actually very interesting. B. Britain has always had many top-class chefs. C. The reputation of British food is not very good. D. Recipe books in Britain are not popular. 9. What is the main reason for Britons changing their cooking habits according to the text? A. Advertising campaigns. B. TV chefs’ influence. C. The decline of traditional diet. D. The increase of food courses in colleges. 10. How many Britons say watching TV cookery programmes encourages them to try different food? A. 1/5 B. 1/4 C. 1/3 D. 3/4 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Cookery shows are less broadcast now. B. Male chefs on TV make cooking cool for boys. C. Young people lose interest in cooking. D. Britons are less obsessed with food. D Many studies have explored whether speaking multiple languages improves brain function. Some research suggests that multilingualism (多语言) can improve “executive function” — skills like ignoring distractions, planning tasks, and adapting to new information. For instance, bilingual children have been shown to outperform monolingual (单语的) children in tasks requiring attention control. A study from 2019 further clarified these effects in adults. While confirming that a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost core executive functions, it delays the onset of age-related mental deterioration (恶化). But not all language learners benefit equally. The greatest benefits appear among those who achieve full fluency in a second language— especially those who use both languages regularly, almost every day. Casual language study, such as taking a college course, does not offer the same advantages as deep, long-term use. Frequent switching between languages within a single day or conversation seems to be especially helpful. Interpreters and translators, for example, often show stronger cognitive (认知的) control and mental flexibility. Still, many factors complicate the research. Bilingual individuals often differ from monolinguals in education, socioeconomic status, and cultural exposure. For instance, a child growing up abroad with diplomat parents may enjoy many advantages unrelated to language. On the other hand, studies in poorer regions suggest that multilingualism can provide significant cognitive benefits where educational resources are limited. Age also matters. The brain benefits of bilingualism are most prominent in young children and older adults. Young bilingual children often show early cognitive advantages, though monolingual peers may catch up later in life. For seniors, speaking multiple languages may help protect cognitive health — similar to how layering slices of Swiss cheese can cover more holes. Beyond potential cognitive benefits, learning a language offers a more certain superpower: the ability to communicate with more people and understand other cultures. Even if you didn’t grow up bilingual, that alone is an excellent reason to start learning. 12. What have researchers found about multilingualism? A. It prevents mental issue. B. It slows cognitive decline. C It boosts short-term memory. D. It replaces executive function. 13. Who likely gains the most cognitive benefits from bilingualism? A. Casual learners. B. Monolingual seniors. C. College course takers. D. Daily language switchers. 14. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limited. B. Overstated. C. Distinct. D. Immediate. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards multilingualism? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Sympathetic. D. Cautious. 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。 What is moderation (适度)? Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs.

Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out, yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance. As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?” Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head. “This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically (杂乱地). It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were required to clear away the items. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （1）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 兴平市2026届高三第一次模拟考试 英语 （全卷满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 老师真诚地提醒你： 1.本试卷共12页，满分150分，请直接在答题纸上作答； 2.答卷前请将密封线内的项目填写清楚； 3.书写要认真、工整、规范；卷面干净、整洁、美观。 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。 例：How much is the shirt?

However, Cao Quyang, a 28-year-old inheritor, has found a solution by combining kouji with beatboxing, achieving a perfect combination of traditional and modern performance art. Cao started learning kouji in 2016 when she wanted to bring something original to her B -box performance. "As a former percussionis (打击乐器演奏者), I'm sensitive to rhythm, so I integrated the kouji techniques I learned into beatboxing and created my own unique style in my area of expertise." she added. For example, when mimicking environmental sounds like wind, Cao can use her mouth to weave beatboxing into it, making the sound of the wind stronger and more rhythmic." The addition of beatboxing brings more musical expression to kouji performances, making the stories more vivid and appealing to today's young audiences." said Cao. In addition to kouji and beatboxing, Cao can also play the Chinese drums, drum set, and piano, as well as DJ. "Innovation is not difficult for me. To me, innovation is simply expressing something that people don't understand in a way they do," said Cao, "As long as it combines tradition and modernity and allows the public to appreciate the beauty of tradition through innovation, I'm willing to do it." 4. What does the article tell us about kouji ? A. It involves five parts of the human mouth. B. It originated in the Western Han dynasty. C. It usually mixes sound mimicry with storytelling. D. It received national heritage status in 2001. 5. How has Cao Quyang contributed to the preservation of kouji? A. By developing a new form of art. B. By employing it to compose pop songs. C. By including digital effects in her performances. D. By combining it with percussion instruments. 6. What aspect of kouji does Cao enhance with beatboxing ? A. Visual appeal. B. Emotional depth. C.

Probably fish and chips, or a Sunday dinner of meat and two vegetables. But is British food really so uninteresting? Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the bestseller lists. It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits. It is recently reported that the number of those sticking to a traditional diet is slowly declining and around half of Britain’s consumers would like to change or improve their cooking in some way. There has been a rise in the number of students applying for food courses at UK universities and colleges. It seems that TV programmes have helped change what people think about cooking. According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food. Almost one third say they now use a wider variety of ingredients (配料) than they used to, and just under 1 in 4 say they now buy better quality ingredients than before. One in four adults say that TV chefs have made them much more confident about expanding their cookery knowledge and skills, and young people are also getting more interested in cooking. The UK’s obsession (痴迷) with food is reflected through television scheduling. Cookery shows and documentaries about food are broadcast more often than before. With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer “uncool” for boys to like cooking. 8. Which of the following can be inferred from the first paragraph? A. British food is actually very interesting. B. Britain has always had many top-class chefs. C. The reputation of British food is not very good. D. Recipe books in Britain are not popular. 9. What is the main reason for Britons changing their cooking habits according to the text? A. Advertising campaigns. B. TV chefs’ influence. C. The decline of traditional diet. D. The increase of food courses in colleges. 10. How many Britons say watching TV cookery programmes encourages them to try different food? A. 1/5 B. 1/4 C. 1/3 D. 3/4 11. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Cookery shows are less broadcast now. B. Male chefs on TV make cooking cool for boys. C. Young people lose interest in cooking. D. Britons are less obsessed with food. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍英国食物虽名声不佳，但在电视厨师影响下，英国人烹饪习惯更具探索性，且对烹饪的兴趣和投入不断提升。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“Even though Britain has a reputation for less-than-impressive cuisine, it is producing more top class chefs who appear frequently on our television screens and whose recipe books frequently top the bestseller lists.(尽管英国以令人印象平平的菜肴而闻名，但它正培养出更多顶级厨师，这些厨师频繁出现在我们的电视屏幕上，他们的食谱书也经常登上畅销书排行榜。)”可知，英国食物的名声并不是很好，“less-than-impressive”直接体现其口碑一般的特点。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“It’s thanks to these TV chefs rather than any advertising campaign that Britons are turning away from meat-and-two-veg and ready-made meals and becoming more adventurous in their cooking habits.(正是由于这些电视厨师，而不是任何广告宣传活动，英国人才不再偏爱“一肉两菜”和预制餐，并且在烹饪习惯上变得更具探索精神。)”可知，英国人改变烹饪习惯的主要原因是电视厨师的影响，而非广告或其他因素。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“According to a new study from market analysts, 1 in 5 Britons say that watching cookery programmes on TV has encouraged them to try different food.(根据市场分析师的一项新研究，五分之一的英国人表示，观看电视烹饪节目鼓励他们尝试不同的食物。)”可知，有五分之一的英国人因观看电视烹饪节目而尝试不同食物。故选A项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“With an increasing number of male chefs on TV, it’s no longer ‘uncool’ for boys to like cooking.(随着电视上男性厨师数量的增加，男孩喜欢烹饪不再是’不酷’的事情了。)”可知，电视上的男性厨师让男孩觉得烹饪是很酷的事。故选B项。 D Many studies have explored whether speaking multiple languages improves brain function. Some research suggests that multilingualism (多语言) can improve “executive function” — skills like ignoring distractions, planning tasks, and adapting to new information. For instance, bilingual children have been shown to outperform monolingual (单语的) children in tasks requiring attention control. A study from 2019 further clarified these effects in adults. While confirming that a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost core executive functions, it delays the onset of age-related mental deterioration (恶化). But not all language learners benefit equally. The greatest benefits appear among those who achieve full fluency in a second language— especially those who use both languages regularly, almost every day. Casual language study, such as taking a college course, does not offer the same advantages as deep, long-term use. Frequent switching between languages within a single day or conversation seems to be especially helpful. Interpreters and translators, for example, often show stronger cognitive (认知的) control and mental flexibility. Still, many factors complicate the research. Bilingual individuals often differ from monolinguals in education, socioeconomic status, and cultural exposure. For instance, a child growing up abroad with diplomat parents may enjoy many advantages unrelated to language. On the other hand, studies in poorer regions suggest that multilingualism can provide significant cognitive benefits where educational resources are limited. Age also matters. The brain benefits of bilingualism are most prominent in young children and older adults. Young bilingual children often show early cognitive advantages, though monolingual peers may catch up later in life. For seniors, speaking multiple languages may help protect cognitive health — similar to how layering slices of Swiss cheese can cover more holes. Beyond potential cognitive benefits, learning a language offers a more certain superpower: the ability to communicate with more people and understand other cultures. Even if you didn’t grow up bilingual, that alone is an excellent reason to start learning. 12. What have researchers found about multilingualism? A. It prevents mental issue. B. It slows cognitive decline. C. It boosts short-term memory. D. It replaces executive function. 13. Who likely gains the most cognitive benefits from bilingualism? A. Casual learners. B. Monolingual seniors. C. College course takers. D. Daily language switchers. 14. What does the underlined word “prominent” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Limited. B. Overstated. C. Distinct. D. Immediate. 15. What is the author’s attitude towards multilingualism? A. Critical. B. Indifferent. C. Sympathetic. D. Cautious. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍多项研究探讨多语言能力对大脑功能的影响，并指出其可改善执行功能、延缓与年龄相关的认知恶化，同时提及研究受教育、社会经济地位等因素影响，且不同年龄段获益程度不同。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“A study from 2019 further clarified these effects in adults. While confirming that a moderate amount of language learning in adults does not boost core executive functions, it delays the onset of age-related mental deterioration (2019年的一项研究进一步阐明了这些对成年人的影响。该研究证实，成年人适度学习语言虽不会提升核心执行功能，但能延缓与年龄相关的认知恶化的发生)”可知，研究发现多语言能力可减缓认知衰退。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The greatest benefits appear among those who achieve full fluency in a second language— especially those who use both languages regularly, almost every day. Casual language study, such as taking a college course, does not offer the same advantages as deep, long-term use. Frequent switching between languages within a single day or conversation seems to be especially helpful.(最大益处出现在那些能熟练掌握第二语言的人身上——尤其是那些每天、几乎频繁使用两种语言的人。随意的语言学习，比如参加大学课程，并不能提供与长期深入使用语言相同的好处。在一天内或一次对话中频繁切换语言似乎特别有帮助)”可知，日常频繁切换语言的人可能从双语能力中获得最多认知益处。故选D。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“The brain benefits of bilingualism are most prominent in young children and older adults. Young bilingual children often show early cognitive advantages, though monolingual peers may catch up later in life.(双语能力对大脑的益处在幼儿和老年人中最为显著。双语幼儿通常会较早展现出认知优势，尽管单语同龄人在后期生活中可能会赶上)”可知，后文通过举例（双语幼儿有早期认知优势）解释前文，说明双语益处在这两个年龄段“很明显、突出”，由此猜测，划线词意为“明显的，显著的”，与distinct意思相近。故选C。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Beyond potential cognitive benefits, learning a language offers a more certain superpower: the ability to communicate with more people and understand other cultures. Even if you didn’t grow up bilingual, that alone is an excellent reason to start learning.(除了潜在的认知好处，学习一门语言还提供了一个更确定的超能力：与更多人交流和了解其他文化的能力。即使你不是在双语环境中长大的，这本身就是一个开始学习的绝佳理由)”可知，作者认为除了潜在的认知好处，多语言还有其他好处，由此推知，作者对多语言持支持态度。故选C。 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。 What is moderation (适度)?

Basically, it means eating only as much food as your body needs. You should feel satisfied at the end of a meal, but not too full. For many of us, moderation means eating less than we do now. (什么是适度饮食？基本上，它指的是只吃身体所需分量的食物。餐后你应该感到满足，但不要过饱。对我们很多人来说，适度饮食意味着比现在吃得少。)”可知，此空需补充说明“吃得少”不等于完全放弃喜爱的食物，避免读者对适度饮食产生误解。F选项“But it doesn’t mean saying goodbye to the foods you love. (但这并不意味着要和你喜欢的食物说再见。)”通过“but”转折，纠正了对“吃得少”的片面认知，符合语境。故选F项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Take your time. It’s important to slow down and think about food as something nutritious rather than just something to eat in between meetings. Don’t swallow a meal on the way to work. It actually takes a few minutes for your brain to tell your body that it has had enough food, (慢慢来。放慢速度，把食物看作有营养的东西，而不只是会议间隙用来果腹的东西，这一点很重要。不要在上班路上狼吞虎咽地吃饭。实际上，大脑需要几分钟时间才能告诉身体已经吃饱了，)”可知，此空需基于“大脑传递饱腹信号有延迟”这一事实，给出对应的进食建议。C选项“so eat slowly and stop eating before you feel full. (所以要慢慢吃，在感觉饱之前就停止进食。)”中的“so”承接上文逻辑，“慢慢吃”和“提前停食”的建议可避免因信号延迟导致的过量进食，符合语境。故选C项。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Eat with others whenever possible. (尽量和别人一起吃饭。)”可知，此空需从反面说明独自吃饭的弊端，以突出与人共餐对适度饮食的重要性。E选项“Eating alone, especially in front of the TV or computer, often leads to mindless overeating. (独自吃饭，尤其是在电视或电脑前，往往会导致无意识的过量进食。)”通过对比独自吃饭的负面影响，呼应了“与人共餐”的建议，符合语境。故选E项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“We don’t always eat just to satisfy hunger. Many of us also turn to food to deal with unpleasant emotions such as sadness, loneliness, or boredom. But by learning healthier ways to manage emotions, you can regain control over the food you eat and your feelings. (我们吃饭不总是为了满足饥饿。很多人还会通过食物来应对悲伤、孤独或无聊等不愉快的情绪。但通过学习更健康的情绪管理方法，你可以重新掌控自己吃的食物和情绪。)”可知，本段围绕“情绪性进食”展开，此空需作为小标题概括该主题。B选项“Control emotional (情绪的) eating. (控制情绪性进食。)”直接点明主题，且与下文内容高度契合，符合语境。故选B项。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Eat properly throughout the day. A healthy breakfast can start your metabolism (新陈代谢) , while eating small, healthy meals keeps your energy up all day. (全天合理安排饮食。健康的早餐能启动新陈代谢，而少量、健康的加餐能让你全天保持精力充沛。)”以及下文“Try to eat dinner earlier and fast for 14–16 hours until breakfast the next morning. Studies suggest that eating only when you’re most active and giving your digestive system a long break each day may help to regulate weight. (尽量早点吃晚饭，然后禁食14到16小时，直到第二天早上吃早餐。研究表明，只在你最活跃的时候进食，并且每天让消化系统得到长时间休息，可能有助于调节体重。)”可知，此空需提出与“晚餐时间”相关的建议，衔接上下文。A选项“Avoid eating late at night. (避免在深夜进食。)”是对下文“早点吃晚饭”的概括，符合语境。故选A项。 第三部分 语言知识运用（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四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A few months ago, I was down with a terrible cold which ended in a bad cough.

Their parents worked tirelessly day in and day out yet still struggled to make ends meet. Cameron and Barton, both in middle school, witnessed their parents’ hard work and anxiety and decided to take action and offer their assistance. As summer vacation began, while other children were enjoying their carefree time, Cameron and Barton had a different plan. They started the challenging journey of seeking part-time jobs. Their first attempt was at a local restaurant. Filled with hope, they stood before the manager with an eager expression. However, the manager looked at them critically and said, “You two are too young!” Their hearts sank instantly. Cameron felt a sense of deep disappointment, thinking, “How can we prove ourselves if no one gives us a chance?” Barton’s face fell as he asked his brother, “Will we ever find a job?” Not discouraged by the rejection, they then went to a store named Thompson’s Grocery, hoping to become assistants. “Hello, you must be Mr. Thompson. We’re here to apply for the job,” Cameron said. Barton stood on tiptoe and handed a card from their school’s help-wanted board to Mr. Thompson behind the counter, who was the owner and seemed to be a kind person. However, before they could say more, he shook his head. “This job is too hard for you kids,” he said. “I need someone big and strong.” “Let us give it a try, and if you don’t like our work, don’t pay us,” Cameron begged. He stared at the brothers, who were so sincere, then nodding. Next, he led them to the warehouse (仓库) of the store. The floor was piled with boxes of different sizes and all kinds of objects at random, filling every corner. The various items were mixed up chaotically (杂乱地). It seemed as if they had never been sorted or cleaned. Cameron and Barton were required to clear away the items. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150个左右； （1）请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 “It’s a tough job. Just do as much as you can,” Mr. Thompson said. Indeed, the task seemed so demanding. Not long after they started working, the heat and dust made them uncomfortable. Cameron’s arms ached from moving heavy boxes, and Barton’s back was sore from bending over. When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished. Although the thought of giving up crossed their minds, the brothers pushed it aside thinking about how hard their parents had been working. The task took them over three hours, but they finally made the warehouse clean and tidy. Cameron and Barton asked Mr. Thompson to come after they finished. Mr. Thompson’s eyes widened seeing the once chaotic space took on a completely new look, where everything was in order. He had not expected the brothers to do this job so well. Mr. Thompson handed them their wages, paying extra, and said, “You’ve earned this. By the way, I could use some help over the summer. I wonder if you’re interested.”“We’d love to!” Barton replied happily. Then the brothers went home excitedly, eager to share their success with their parents. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了十五岁的Cameron和十二岁的Barton来自Taxco的一个小镇，父母辛勤工作仍入不敷出，兄弟俩决定在暑假寻找兼职帮助家庭。尽管初次求职被餐馆经理拒绝，他们并未气馁，随后向Thompson杂货店申请工作。店主起初认为他们太小，但在兄弟俩的真诚请求下同意让他们试一试。最终，Cameron和Barton被安排清理仓库的杂物。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容““这活儿可不轻松。你们尽力而为就行，”Thompson先生说道。”可知，第一段可描写兄弟二人的辛苦工作的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“Cameron和Barton完成后请Thompson先生过来看看。”可知，第二段可描写Thompson先生看到二人的成果后的反应和最后的结果。 2.续写线索：安排任务——努力完成——请Thompson先生来——得到钱——再次被邀请——兴奋地回家 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①开始：start/begin ②完成：finish/complete ③放弃：give up/abandon 情绪类 ①高兴地：happily/delightedly ②兴奋地：excitedly/feverishly 【点睛】[高分句型1] When they had to stop for a break, only a small part was finished.
