But not everywhere has been impacted equally. For travelers, these places can offer the same big-city convenient facilities at a much lower cost of living. Lisbon, Portugal As the least-expensive city in Western Europe, according to the EIU rankings, Lisbon has been a hot spot for travelers in recent years. Mercedes Zach recommends exploring the bohemian(波西米亚式) Bairro Alto neighbourhood to uncover street art, city views and sunset gatherings with locals. The Roman Theatre Museum gives a glimpse into the city’s Roman past, with preserved theatre ruins. Toronto, Canada Canadian cities to the north continue to remain lower in the cost of-living rankings. Of all the Canadian cities ranked, Toronto ranks the most affordable. Toronto resident Stephanie Ciccarelli recommends city sightseeing via boat cruise on Lake Ontario, or visiting the Hockey Hall of Fame. Tokyo, Japan Moving three down the index(指标 ) this year and ranking 60 overall, Tokyo continues to be Japan’s most expensive city yet is now more affordable than fellow Asian cities like Singapore and Hong Kong. Tokyo resident Masa Yamamoto encourages tourists to wander around the urban garden and public art displays at the newly developed Azabudai Hils neighbourhood for free. For a new perspective on the city, he recommends the contemporary art Mori Art Museum and its connected Tokyo City View, which offers a view of the city from 250 m above sea level for just2,000 yen. 1. Which attraction can give you brief insights into the city’s history? A. The Hockey Hall of Fame. B. The Mori Art Museum. C. The Roman Theatre Museum. D. The Bairro Alt o neighbourhood. 2. What tourist highlights are shared by Lisbon and Tokyo? A. City views and artistic appeal. B. Street markets and urban parks. C Historical ruins and museums. D. Local customs and landmarks. 3. What is the primary focus of this passage? A. Affordable big cities for travelers. B. EIU ranking of cost-effective cities. C. The rapid rise in global living expenses. D. Cities known for their high cost of living. B From collectors flying across countries to K-pop star Lisa saying “I go Pop Mart everywhere,” Pop Mart, a Chinese toy brand, has become a worldwide craze. At the center are blind-box toys and famous characters, none more talked about than Labubu, a furry “ugly-cute” figure loved across the globe. Founded in 2010 by Wang Ning, Pop Mart grew from a small shop in Beijing into China’s top “trendy toy” company. Its breakthrough came in 2016 with Molly blind boxes, proving mystery packs could create excitement and huge sales. Since then, Pop Mart has built an “IP engine” — developing or licensing characters, turning them into toy figures, and selling them through shops and vending machines (自动售货机). It has also partnered with Disney and Sanrio. By 2025, Labubu had become its best-selling character, reflecting the rise of trendy toys as part of global youth culture. For young consumers these toys mean more than playthings. Claire Carrillo, a 24-year-old from the Philippines, is drawn to CryBaby, a genderless character with rosy cheeks and teary eyes. “I see myself as a crybaby,” she explained. Similarly, Singapore filmmaker Ashley Jane Leow collects Hirono and Nyota because they reflect her and her boyfriend’s personalities. One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” market, made up of young people and Gen Z who enjoy hobbies linked to childhood. According to its 2024 report, the company now operates over 530 stores worldwide, making around 13.2 billion yuan in sales. Another driver is blind box culture. The surprise element pushes people to buy more and creates a sense of anticipation that makes each purchase feel like a small adventure. It also encourages community through sharing, trading and displaying the toys. “It’s just a fun little thing we do together to relieve stress,” said Amanda Lee, 26, from Singapore, who enjoys opening blind boxes with colleagues at lunch. For many, the magic of Pop Mart lies in this mix of art, emotion and connection. 4. What does the word “craze” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. A common daily habit. B. A lasting cultural tradition. C. A brief but intense fashion. D. A problem troubling society. 5. What helped Pop Mart grow quickly in 2016? A. The launch of vending machines. B. The success of Molly blind boxes. C. Partnerships with Disney and Sanrio. D. Its licensing characters and toy figures. 6. Why does Carrillo from the Philippines like the CryBaby series? A. Because it has a delicate appearance. B. Because it shows her own character. C. Because it reminds her of childhood. D. Because it enjoys worldwide popularity. 7. Why are Pop Mart purchases attractive to consumers? A. Because they remind elderly people of their childhood. B. Because they boost stress relief and community growth. C. Because they offer office workers fun during lunch breaks. D. Because they increase excitement through surprise elements. C A Chinese research team has developed a new AI tool called DeepWheat, designed to revolutionize crop breeding. This innovation offers a way to predict how genes will behave in different parts of a plant, a long-standing challenge in agriculture. The wheat genome is especially complex, even larger than the human genome, which has made understanding its functions difficult. By overcoming this barrier, DeepWheat provides a new path to creating excellent crop varieties with desirable qualities. DeepWheat’s key strength lies in its ability to handle the complex effects of genes. Many important genes can have a dual role, being either helpful or harmful depending on where and when they are active. For instance, a gene might increase grain size but reduce the number of branches on a plant. This complex interaction has made traditional breeding difficult. The AI tool helps scientists see these potential trade-offs by predicting tissue-specific outcomes, allowing for more informed decisions. Traditional methods often relied on a slow and unpredictable process of trial and error. Researchers would have to edit countless gene sites, hoping to find one that worked, which was both time-consuming and wasteful. DeepWheat offers a smarter alternative. It uses computer simulations to test all possible gene changes and pinpoint the ones most likely to produce the desired result. This targeted approach means scientists only carry out the edits most likely to succeed, greatly improving efficiency and accuracy. The impact of DeepWheat extends beyond wheat. It has been successfully applied to other major crops like rice and corn. By providing a way to fine-tune gene control, the tool helps solve a key breeding problem: improving one trait (like yield) might unintentionally weaken another (like disease resistance). DeepWheat helps balance these competing needs, speeding up the development of high-performance plants that combine multiple positive characteristics. It represents a major leap forward in agricultural science. 8. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce an AI tool for improving crops. B. To explain the complexity of the wheat genome. C. To compare traditional and modern farming methods. D. To discuss the risks of using AI in science. 9 What can be inferred about traditional breeding methods? A. They are no longer used by scientists. B. They are costly and inefficient. C. They focus mainly on growing rice. D. They are more accurate than AI tools. 10. What does DeepWheat do before scientists perform actual edits? A. It grows new crops in fields. B. It runs computer simulations to find the best edits. C. It analyzes historical data on successful crops. D. It consults with other plant breeding experts. 11. How does DeepWheat help solve a key problem in breeding? A. By making the wheat genome smaller. B. By increasing the number of genes in plants. C. By predicting gene changes to balance traits. D. By removing the need for laboratory editing. D Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. One explanation for confirmation bias is that it is an efficient way to process information. Humans are constantly fed with information and cannot possibly take the time to carefully process each piece. It is adaptive for humans to rely on subconscious, automatic judgements that contribute to the efficiency. Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. Therefore, confirmation bias will encourage them to disregard the information contrary to their belief. Researches show that confirmation bias is strong and widespread. In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are contrary to their beliefs, but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. Confirmation bias also surfaces in interpersonal communication. When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. 12. Why do people show confirmation bias? A. To help maintain their dignity. B. To prevent shallow judgements. C. To handle complex information. D. To develop their logical reasoning. 13. What did the studies in Paragraph 3 find? A. People couldn’t produce arguments against their belief. B. Information supporting people’s belief often won preference. C. It took considerable motivation to face controversial issues. D. People focused on information concerning the opposing side. 14. How does the writer illustrate confirmation bias in communication? A. By making comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By introducing a study. D. By defining a concept. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of my-side bias in enhancing people’s own beliefs. B. The effects of information overload on decision-making process. C. The impact of confirmation bias on interpersonal communication. D. Understanding of confirmation bias and strategies to overcome it. 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。 Hobbies are more than just a fun way to kill the time. A widespread and harmful misunderstanding is that engaging in hobbies mirrors a lack of self-discipline. ___16___ In fact, hobbies can provide essential balance in our lives and enhance overall well-being. The benefits you obtain will depend on your hobby-taking up jogging, for instance, will benefit your cardiovascular (心血管的) health more than, say, crossword puzzles, which may improve your cognitive health The point is that nearly all hobbies can provide measurable positive health benefits. If we regularly spend time on hobbies, we usually enjoy a higher level of fitness. ___17___. A 2023 comprehensive analysis of multiple studies found strong evidence that engaging in leisure activities can improve health by protecting against heart disease and age-related physical decline. The report, published in the journal Lancet Psychiatry, found that for people who were suffering from a chronic (慢性的) illness, doing a hobby helped them manage their symptoms and even slowed the progression of their illness. But another of the researchers’ findings is perhaps the most striking: the strong relationship between doing leisure activities and increased longevity (长寿). ___18___ It found that older adults have a 19% lower risk of disease-related death when they engage in regular leisure activities. ___19___ They are vital to sustaining our mental health. People who made a conscious effort each day to spend time doing hobbies (no matter what they were) showed an average boost of 8% in well-being and a 10% drop in stress and anxiety, according to a 2023 study published in the Journal of Personality. “On a fundamental level, humans need meaning, something that gives them a sense of purpose. ___20___” says Dr Hafeez, who has led several massive studies on hobbies. “Engaging in what you enjoy greatly enhances your well-being.” With all these visible benefits of hobbies, why not just make time for activities that bring you joy and fulfillment every day? A. The science backs this up. B. Hobbies make us happier. C. You gain a lot from hobbies. D. Nothing could be further from the truth. E. The more you engage in hobbies, the longer you will live. F. A different study conducted last year confirmed the impact. G. And being able to pursue your passion really contributes to that. 第三部分：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，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 The August sun beat down without mercy.

Sweating for fun? Unthinkable. However, everything changed three years ago when life’s pressure became unbearable. Eager for relief, I recalled reading about exercise releasing endorphins, a chemical within your body that reduces pain and can make you feel happier. This time, I knew I needed more than willpower — I needed an accountability partner who could hold me accountable for my exercise routine. The moment I walked into Adria’s circuit training studio, her warm smile disarmed me. “Accountability partner” proved not enough to describe this force of nature. Though we quickly became friends, her determination shone through every time I tried canceling sessions. “What’s your workout plan this week?” her texts would arrive whenever I skipped two days. Gradually, my baggy sweatshirts tightened around newly toned arms, and genuine laughter started replacing my gloomy sighs. One rainy Thursday, Adria leaned against the gym mirrors. “I have run solo operations for three years. I need a day off,” she sighed. My comforting nod froze when she suddenly locked eyes with me. “You should get certified — maybe start with the American Council on Exercise (ACE) test. You’re the only one I’d trust with these keys.” Nervous laughter escaped me. “Me? A trainer?” The idea seemed as ridiculous as teaching rocket science. It was so good that she trusted me but there was no way! I hadn’t studied for anything in years, not to mention that a large portion of my “day job” was reading as a full-time editor. Could I really read about fitness in the evenings? For days following our conversation, every time the thought popped into my head, I heard the words “No way!” Yet her words planted persistent seeds in my mind. I decided to do some research to understand what it would take to be a Group Fitness Instructor. I learned it would take three to six months of reading text, analyzing charts, watching videos and listening to the provided podcasts. Though hesitant, I finally signed up for the ACE course. 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。 There were many times when I wanted to give up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The test day came, and it was no joke. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 临澧一中高三年级第五次阶段性考试试卷英语 时量：120分钟 满分：150分 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分）。 第一节 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。 1.

It has also partnered with Disney and Sanrio. By 2025, Labubu had become its best-selling character, reflecting the rise of trendy toys as part of global youth culture. For young consumers, these toys mean more than playthings. Claire Carrillo, a 24-year-old from the Philippines, is drawn to CryBaby, a genderless character with rosy cheeks and teary eyes. “I see myself as a crybaby,” she explained. Similarly, Singapore filmmaker Ashley Jane Leow collects Hirono and Nyota because they reflect her and her boyfriend’s personalities. One big reason behind Pop Mart’s success is the “kidult” market, made up of young people and Gen Z who enjoy hobbies linked to childhood. According to its 2024 report, the company now operates over 530 stores worldwide, making around 13.2 billion yuan in sales. Another driver is blind box culture. The surprise element pushes people to buy more and creates a sense of anticipation that makes each purchase feel like a small adventure. It also encourages community through sharing, trading and displaying the toys. “It’s just a fun little thing we do together to relieve stress,” said Amanda Lee, 26, from Singapore, who enjoys opening blind boxes with colleagues at lunch. For many, the magic of Pop Mart lies in this mix of art, emotion and connection. 4. What does the word “craze” in paragraph 1 most probably mean? A. A common daily habit. B. A lasting cultural tradition. C. A brief but intense fashion. D. A problem troubling society. 5. What helped Pop Mart grow quickly in 2016? A. The launch of vending machines. B. The success of Molly blind boxes. C. Partnerships with Disney and Sanrio. D. Its licensing characters and toy figures. 6. Why does Carrillo from the Philippines like the CryBaby series? A. Because it has a delicate appearance. B. Because it shows her own character. C. Because it reminds her of childhood. D. Because it enjoys worldwide popularity. 7. Why are Pop Mart purchases attractive to consumers? A. Because they remind elderly people of their childhood. B. Because they boost stress relief and community growth. C. Because they offer office workers fun during lunch breaks. D. Because they increase excitement through surprise elements. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7.

This innovation offers a way to predict how genes will behave in different parts of a plant, a long-standing challenge in agriculture. The wheat genome is especially complex, even larger than the human genome, which has made understanding its functions difficult. By overcoming this barrier, DeepWheat provides a new path to creating excellent crop varieties with desirable qualities. DeepWheat’s key strength lies in its ability to handle the complex effects of genes. Many important genes can have a dual role, being either helpful or harmful depending on where and when they are active. For instance, a gene might increase grain size but reduce the number of branches on a plant. This complex interaction has made traditional breeding difficult. The AI tool helps scientists see these potential trade-offs by predicting tissue-specific outcomes, allowing for more informed decisions. Traditional methods often relied on a slow and unpredictable process of trial and error. Researchers would have to edit countless gene sites, hoping to find one that worked, which was both time-consuming and wasteful. DeepWheat offers a smarter alternative. It uses computer simulations to test all possible gene changes and pinpoint the ones most likely to produce the desired result. This targeted approach means scientists only carry out the edits most likely to succeed, greatly improving efficiency and accuracy. The impact of DeepWheat extends beyond wheat. It has been successfully applied to other major crops like rice and corn. By providing a way to fine-tune gene control, the tool helps solve a key breeding problem: improving one trait (like yield) might unintentionally weaken another (like disease resistance). DeepWheat helps balance these competing needs, speeding up the development of high-performance plants that combine multiple positive characteristics. It represents a major leap forward in agricultural science. 8. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To introduce an AI tool for improving crops. B. To explain the complexity of the wheat genome. C To compare traditional and modern farming methods. D. To discuss the risks of using AI in science. 9. What can be inferred about traditional breeding methods? A. They are no longer used by scientists. B. They are costly and inefficient. C. They focus mainly on growing rice. D. They are more accurate than AI tools. 10. What does DeepWheat do before scientists perform actual edits? A. It grows new crops in fields. B. It runs computer simulations to find the best edits. C. It analyzes historical data on successful crops. D. It consults with other plant breeding experts. 11. How does DeepWheat help solve a key problem in breeding? A. By making the wheat genome smaller. B. By increasing the number of genes in plants. C. By predicting gene changes to balance traits. D. By removing the need for laboratory editing. 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个由中国研究团队开发的名为DeepWheat的人工智能工具，该工具旨在革新作物育种，通过预测基因在不同植物组织中的行为，帮助科学家更有效地培育出具有优良特性的作物品种。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A Chinese research team has developed a new AI tool called DeepWheat, designed to revolutionize crop breeding.

It uses computer simulations to test all possible gene changes and pinpoint the ones most likely to produce the desired result. (DeepWheat提供了一个更聪明的选择。它使用计算机模拟来测试所有可能的基因变化，并找出最有可能产生预期结果的基因变化。)”由此可知，DeepWheat在科学家进行实际编辑之前，会运行计算机模拟来找出最佳的编辑方案。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第最后一段“By providing a way to fine-tune gene control, the tool helps solve a key breeding problem: improving one trait (like yield) might unintentionally weaken another (like disease resistance). DeepWheat helps balance these competing needs, speeding up the development of high-performance plants that combine multiple positive characteristics. (通过提供一种微调基因控制的方法，该工具帮助解决了一个关键的育种问题：改善一个特性(如产量)可能会无意中削弱另一个特性(如抗病性)。DeepWheat有助于平衡这些相互竞争的需求，加速开发结合多种优良特性的高性能植物。)”由此可知，DeepWheat通过预测基因变化来平衡作物特性，从而解决了育种中的一个关键问题。故选C项。 D Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. One explanation for confirmation bias is that it is an efficient way to process information. Humans are constantly fed with information and cannot possibly take the time to carefully process each piece. It is adaptive for humans to rely on subconscious, automatic judgements that contribute to the efficiency. Another reason why people show confirmation bias is to protect their self-worth. People like to feel good about themselves, and discovering a belief they highly value is incorrect makes them feel bad about themselves. Therefore, confirmation bias will encourage them to disregard the information contrary to their belief. Researches show that confirmation bias is strong and widespread. In studies examining my-side bias, people were able to generate and remember more reasons supporting their side of a controversial issue than the opposing side. Only when a researcher directly asked people to generate arguments against their own beliefs were they able to do so. It is not that people are incapable of generating arguments that are contrary to their beliefs, but, rather, people are not motivated to do so. Confirmation bias also surfaces in interpersonal communication. When interacting with people who perceivers think have certain personalities, the perceivers will ask questions that are biased toward supporting the perceivers’ beliefs. If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. 12. Why do people show confirmation bias? A. To help maintain their dignity. B. To prevent shallow judgements. C. To handle complex information. D. To develop their logical reasoning. 13. What did the studies in Paragraph 3 find? A. People couldn’t produce arguments against their belief. B. Information supporting people’s belief often won preference. C. It took considerable motivation to face controversial issues. D. People focused on information concerning the opposing side. 14. How does the writer illustrate confirmation bias in communication? A. By making comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By introducing a study. D. By defining a concept. 15. What is the passage mainly about? A. The role of my-side bias in enhancing people’s own beliefs. B. The effects of information overload on decision-making process. C. The impact of confirmation bias on interpersonal communication. D. Understanding of confirmation bias and strategies to overcome it. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15.

If a new roommate is expected to be friendly and outgoing, Maria may ask her if she likes to go to parties rather than asking if she often studies in the library. (在与人们认为具有某种性格的人互动时，感知者会提出倾向于支持自己信念的偏见性问题。如果玛丽亚认为新室友友好且外向，她可能会问她是否喜欢参加聚会，而不是问她是否经常在图书馆学习)”可知，文中通过举Maria与新室友交往的例子来说明确认偏误在交流中的表现，即作者是运用举例的写作手法。故选B。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是由文章第一段“Confirmation bias refers to people’s tendency to seek out information that supports their existing beliefs. While it’s usually subconscious, its impacts are significant. It can cloud people’s judgement and decision-making processes. (确认偏误指的是人们倾向于寻找支持自己现有信念的信息。尽管这通常是潜意识的，但其影响却十分重大。它会使人们的判断和决策过程变得模糊)”和最后一段“Confirmation bias may lead to incomplete and misinterpreted understanding of an issue or topic, as crucial information may be overlooked or dismissed. Thus, to avoid it, people are supposed to diversify the sources of information accessed as seeking multiple perspectives brings a broader understanding of the subject matter and allows for well-rounded decision-making. Another way is to actively challenge the bias by questioning assumptions and relying on evidence rather than personal opinions, which helps us consciously recognize informational biases and minimize their impact. (确认偏误可能导致对某个问题或话题的理解不完整和误解，因为关键信息可能会被忽视或驳回。因此，为了避免这种情况，人们应该多样化信息来源，因为从多个角度获取信息有助于更全面地理解主题，并做出周全的决策。另一种方法是主动挑战偏见，通过质疑假设并依赖证据而非个人意见，这有助于我们有意识地识别信息偏见并最大限度地减少其影响)”可知，文章主要讲述了对确认偏误的理解以及克服它的策略。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。 Hobbies are more than just a fun way to kill the time.

Sweating for fun? Unthinkable. However, everything changed three years ago when life’s pressure became unbearable. Eager for relief, I recalled reading about exercise releasing endorphins, a chemical within your body that reduces pain and can make you feel happier. This time, I knew I needed more than willpower — I needed an accountability partner who could hold me accountable for my exercise routine. The moment I walked into Adria’s circuit training studio, her warm smile disarmed me. “Accountability partner” proved not enough to describe this force of nature. Though we quickly became friends, her determination shone through every time I tried canceling sessions. “What’s your workout plan this week?” her texts would arrive whenever I skipped two days. Gradually, my baggy sweatshirts tightened around newly toned arms, and genuine laughter started replacing my gloomy sighs. One rainy Thursday, Adria leaned against the gym mirrors. “I have run solo operations for three years. I need a day off,” she sighed. My comforting nod froze when she suddenly locked eyes with me. “You should get certified — maybe start with the American Council on Exercise (ACE) test. You’re the only one I’d trust with these keys.” Nervous laughter escaped me. “Me? A trainer?” The idea seemed as ridiculous as teaching rocket science. It was so good that she trusted me but there was no way! I hadn’t studied for anything in years, not to mention that a large portion of my “day job” was reading as a full-time editor. Could I really read about fitness in the evenings? For days following our conversation, every time the thought popped into my head, I heard the words “No way!” Yet her words planted persistent seeds in my mind. I decided to do some research to understand what it would take to be a Group Fitness Instructor. I learned it would take three to six months of reading text, analyzing charts, watching videos and listening to the provided podcasts. Though hesitant, I finally signed up for the ACE course. 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。 There were many times when I wanted to give up. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The test day came, and it was no joke. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: There were many times when I wanted to give up. The study materials were dense and difficult to understand, and my evenings were filled with the stress of trying to balance my full-time editing job and the fitness course. On top of that, I had never been a fan of studying. Whenever I felt overwhelmed, Adria would send me encouraging messages. ‌“You’re doing great,” she’d say. ‌“I believe in you.” Her unwavering support kept me going. I started making a study schedule, setting aside a specific time each day for learning. Slowly but surely, I began to understand the concepts and gain confidence. The test day came, and it was no joke. My heart pounded as I sat at the desk, looking at the test paper. But as I started answering the questions, I realized that all the hard work had paid off. I recognized many of the concepts and was able to recall the information I had studied. When I finally submitted my test, a sense of relief washed over me. A few weeks later, I received the news that I had passed. Adria was overjoyed. She handed me the keys to the studio with pride, and I knew that this was just the beginning of a new chapter in my life. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述青少年时期的作者不爱运动，三年前因生活压力大开始锻炼，在Adria的激励下坚持下来。Adria建议作者考ACE证并把工作室交给作者，作者虽犹豫但还是报了名。 详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“有很多次我都想放弃。”可知，第一段可描述学习过程的艰难，如材料难懂、要平衡工作和学习等，同时Adria的鼓励让作者坚持，最后开始理解知识并获得信心。 ②由第二段首句内容“考试那天到了，这可不是闹着玩的。”可知，第二段可描写考试时的紧张，以及答题时发现努力有了回报，最后通过考试，Adria为作者骄傲，开启新生活篇章。 2. 续写线索：想放弃学习——Adria鼓励坚持——考试紧张——努力有回报——通过考试开启新章 3. 词汇激活： 行为类 ①理解：understand/comprehend ②相信：believe in/have faith in ③开始：start/begin ④提交：submit/hand in 情绪类 ①鼓舞人心的：encouraging/inspiring ②狂喜的：overjoyed/ecstatic 【点睛】[高分句型1] I started making a study schedule, setting aside a specific time each day for learning.
