Let’s uncover the top 4 longest underwater tunnels in the world. Seikan Tunnel Seikan Tunnel is one of the longest underwater tunnel in the world, in terms of overall length, 33.46 miles. Connecting Japan’s Honshu and Hokkaido islands, the Seikan Tunnel was finished in 1988, reaching depths of 790 feet beneath sea level. Having two stations is an achievement. They are important emergency exits if there is a disaster. Channel Tunnel The Channel Tunnel covers a distance of 31.35 miles linking Folkestone, in England to Coquelles, in France beneath the English Channel at the Dover Strait. Construction started on both ends of the Dover Strait in 1987 — 1988. Completed in 1991, it officially opened on May 6, 1994. Presently it serves more than 10 million passengers over 1.6 million trucks through its rail shuttle service. Ryfast Tunnel Located in Rogaland County, Norway, the Ryfast Tunnel System comprises two tunnels stretching a total of 8.9 miles beneath the sea. Ryfast Tunnel holds the record as the world’s deepest subsea road tunnel, reaching a maximum depth of 958 feet below sea level. Opened in 2020, the tunnel system serves as a replacement for the Høgsfjorden ferry(渡船)crossing. Eysturoyartunnilin tunnel Established in the year 2020, the Eysturoyartunnilin stretches a distance of 6.9 miles beneath the North Atlantic Ocean linking the two islands, in the Faroe archipelago, Streymoy, and Eysturoy. Reaching a depth of 613.5 feet below the seabed at its deepest point, this underwater passage comprises a layout of three tunnels; however, its standout feature is undoubtedly the lively centre intersection (十字路口) — the world’s first and only subsea roundabout affectionately known as the “jellyfish (水母) roundabout”. 1. When was the Channel Tunnel officially opened? A. In 1988. B. In 1991. C. In 1994. D. In 2020. 2. Which of the following is the world’s deepest subsea road tunnel? A. Seikan Tunnel. B. Channel Tunnel. C. Ryfast Tunnel. D. Eysturoyartunnilin tunnel. 3. What is the unique feature of the Eysturoyartunnilin tunnel? A. It is the longest underwater tunnel. B. It features a layout of two tunnels. C. It serves more than 10 million passengers. D. It has the world’s first subsea roundabout. B Failure is a big part of everyone’s life. The problem many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden. In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism to get it right next time, or the time after. I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything. One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn’t achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn’t have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered. What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times. Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important — including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think and behave. Ultimately, we will realize life may throw manure at us, but we can grow roses with it. 4. What do people usually think of failure? A. Shameful. B. Unavoidable. C. Changeable. D. Rewarding. 5. Why did the woman give up studying for her university degree? A. She had no interest in studying in university. B. She failed all her exams without exception. C. She was eager to start a singing business to make money. D. She suffered from some disturbance and couldn’t handle study pressure. 6. What can be inferred about the woman’s success? A. It had nothing to do with failure. B She succeeded easily without any difficulties. C. Failure and the ability to recover and be flexible both mattered. D. Only the ability to bounce back and be flexible led to her success. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A Failure should be avoided at all costs in tough conditions. B. Singing is a better career than teaching in the case of the woman. C. Flexibility and accepting unchangeable things are key to dealing with failure. D. People with bipolar disorder can’t achieve success whatever their efforts are. C Most people hate mosquitoes-but scientists are about to build a “mosquito factory” to release modified mosquitoes. The modified mosquitoes carry a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis which can be naturally found in most insect species. However, it’s rarely discovered in mosquitoes. “We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’Neil. An Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population. Several studies have demonstrated the insects’ success. For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021. The World Mosquito Program has announced that it will release modified mosquitoes in many of Brazil’s urban areas over the next 10 years. The aim is to protect up to 70 million people from diseases such as dengue, a disease mainly spread by mosquitoes. Dengue patients may have mild symptoms like fever, but severe cases can lead to death. Brazil has one of the highest rates of dengue infection in the world, according to the Nature website. “More than 1,000 people died of dengue in 2022 because of the spread of mosquitoes. It’s going everywhere,” Luciano Moreira, a scientist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, told CBC News. Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified (GM 转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida. According to the agency, GM mosquitoes carry two types of genes: a self-limiting gene that prevents female offspring from surviving to adulthood, and a marker gene that allows researchers to identify GM ones in the wild. After being released, GM mosquitoes lay eggs, so the genes are passed on to offspring. In this way, the number of female mosquitoes is reduced, therefore reducing the chance of spreading disease. 8. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O’Nei? A. To spread one of bacteria. B. To make money for the scientists involved. C. To reduce the number of insects in the world. D. To prevent mosquitoes from biting people. 9. What can we infer from the experiment in Indonesia mentioned in the text? A. Dengue is not a serious disease in Indonesia. B Modified mosquitoes have no effect on dengue. C. Mosquitoes in Indonesia are not carriers of dengue. D. Modified mosquitoes can significantly decrease dengue cases. 10. What does the underlined word “cleared” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Removed B. Approved C. Cleaned D. Blocked 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of GM Mosquitoes B. Modified Mosquitoes to Fight Diseases C. Genetic Engineering in Medical Research D. The World GM Mosquito Program’s Success D This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds.” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it. The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works. However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data. 12 What can we learn about MusicLM? A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched. B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences. C. It generates complex writings from a simple description. D. It creates music based on simple descriptive words. 13. What can be inferred from the passage about AI tools like MusicLM and ChatGPT? A. They will soon replace human creators. B. They need a large amount of data for training. C. They have no limitations in their applications. D. They are only useful in the field of music. 14. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model? A. Being difficult for some people to use. B. Requiring too much training data. C. Creating music with strong preference. D. Producing music works with no creativity. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of AI tools. B. The popularity of ChatGPT. C. The features and problems of MusicLM. D. The difference between MusicLM and ChatGPT. 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 In today’s rapidly evolving world, the importance of critical thinking can’t be overstated.

When I entered Senior One, our school held an English speech competition, which I dreamed of taking part in for a long time. However, the fear of being laughed at always stopped me from signing up. I was worried that I would forget my words or make silly mistakes in pronunciation during the speech. My English teacher Ms. Liu found my desire and my fear. She is a patient and knowledgeable teacher who always encourages us to challenge ourselves. One day, she talked to me softly and said that courage was not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward despite fear. She told me that every chance to try was a step to grow, even if I failed. Her words touched my heart deeply, and I finally made up my mind to sign up for the competition. I spent all my spare time practicing my speech. I read it aloud again and again to correct my pronunciation, and I asked Ms. Liu to help me polish the speech and correct my grammar mistakes. She guided me patiently and taught me some skills of public speaking, like how to make eye contact with the audience and control my speed. As the competition drew near, my nervousness grew day by day. I practiced my speech hundreds of times, yet I still felt anxious, afraid that I would let myself and Ms. Liu down. I even thought about giving up when I stumbled over some sentences during the last practice before the competition. On the eve of the competition, Ms. Liu sent me a short message, which said, “Believe in yourself, and your efforts will never be in vain. Be brave, and you will shine.” Staring at the warm words, I took a deep breath and told myself that I should fight for my dream bravely, no matter what the result would be. 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。 Paragraph 1: The day of the English speech competition finally arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finished my speech, a wave of warm applause swept over the hall. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第一学期1月月考 高一英语试题 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将答题卡交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

The problem many of us face, however, is that we automatically equate experiencing failure with being a failure. We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden. In fact, failure gives us an opportunity to learn, adapt and grow. It should be expected on the way to achieving life goals and used as a feedback mechanism to get it right next time, or the time after. I recently saw a woman who had to give up studying for her university degree. She had bipolar disorder and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. She was studying to be a teacher and had hoped to find a teaching job. However, she failed her exams and job interviews, and overall felt like she was failing to achieve anything. One of the things she enjoyed doing was singing in a band. So in order to earn a bit of money, she began giving singing lessons to children in her community. Fast forward 18 months and she now has her own growing business of teaching singing full-time. She hasn’t achieved this goal in the way she imagined, and she wouldn’t have embarked on this path without the setbacks she encountered. What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. An important part of developing flexibility is having a supportive network. Having relationships with people who can support us helps us go through tough times. Our attitudes toward ourselves are also crucially important — including a sense that we are in control of our actions, have confidence in what we do, realize our strengths and set ourselves achievable and realistic goals. The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change. Rather than thinking of ourselves as victims, we need to realize we have the ability to change the way we think and behave. Ultimately, we will realize life may throw manure at us, but we can grow roses with it. 4. What do people usually think of failure? A. Shameful. B. Unavoidable. C. Changeable. D. Rewarding. 5. Why did the woman give up studying for her university degree? A. She had no interest in studying in university. B. She failed all her exams without exception. C. She was eager to start a singing business to make money. D. She suffered from some disturbance and couldn’t handle study pressure. 6. What can be inferred about the woman’s success? A. It had nothing to do with failure. B. She succeeded easily without any difficulties. C. Failure and the ability to recover and be flexible both mattered. D. Only the ability to bounce back and be flexible led to her success. 7. What is the main idea of the text? A. Failure should be avoided at all costs in tough conditions. B. Singing is a better career than teaching in the case of the woman. C. Flexibility and accepting unchangeable things are key to dealing with failure. D. People with bipolar disorder can’t achieve success whatever their efforts are. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要探讨了如何正确地看待失败，表达了灵活性以及接受不可改变的事物是应对失败的关键的观点。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“We view it as something to be ashamed of, or embarrassed about, something to be avoided or hidden. (我们视其为羞耻或尴尬之事，应避免或隐瞒。)”可知，人们通常认为失败是可耻的。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“She had bipolar disorder and was unable to cope with the pressure of studying. (她患有躁郁症，无法应对学习压力。)”可知，这个女士因患有躁郁症，无法应对学习压力，所以放弃攻读大学学位。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“What was it about this woman that made her succeed? Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. (这个女人为何能成功？是的，失败起了很大作用，但能够迅速恢复和灵活变通也是一个重要因素。)”可知，失败以及恢复能力和灵活性对她的成功都很重要，故选C。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第五段“Yes, failure had a big part to play, but the ability to bounce back and be flexible was an important factor. (是的，失败起了很大作用，但能够迅速恢复和灵活变通也是一个重要因素。)”和最后一段“The secret to flexibility lies in accepting that there are things in life we cannot change.

The modified mosquitoes carry a bacterium called Wolbachia pipientis which can be naturally found in most insect species. However, it’s rarely discovered in mosquitoes. “We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’Neil. An Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population. Several studies have demonstrated the insects’ success. For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021. The World Mosquito Program has announced that it will release modified mosquitoes in many of Brazil’s urban areas over the next 10 years. The aim is to protect up to 70 million people from diseases such as dengue, a disease mainly spread by mosquitoes. Dengue patients may have mild symptoms like fever, but severe cases can lead to death. Brazil has one of the highest rates of dengue infection in the world, according to the Nature website. “More than 1,000 people died of dengue in 2022 because of the spread of mosquitoes. It’s going everywhere,” Luciano Moreira, a scientist at the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, told CBC News. Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified (GM 转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida. According to the agency, GM mosquitoes carry two types of genes: a self-limiting gene that prevents female offspring from surviving to adulthood, and a marker gene that allows researchers to identify GM ones in the wild. After being released, GM mosquitoes lay eggs, so the genes are passed on to offspring. In this way, the number of female mosquitoes is reduced, therefore reducing the chance of spreading disease. 8. Why are the modified mosquitoes grown according to Scott O’Nei? A. To spread one of bacteria. B. To make money for the scientists involved. C. To reduce the number of insects in the world. D. To prevent mosquitoes from biting people. 9. What can we infer from the experiment in Indonesia mentioned in the text? A. Dengue is not a serious disease in Indonesia. B. Modified mosquitoes have no effect on dengue. C. Mosquitoes in Indonesia are not carriers of dengue. D. Modified mosquitoes can significantly decrease dengue cases. 10. What does the underlined word “cleared” in paragraph 6 mean? A. Removed B. Approved C. Cleaned D. Blocked 11. What might be the best title for the text? A. The Benefits of GM Mosquitoes B. Modified Mosquitoes to Fight Diseases C Genetic Engineering in Medical Research D. The World GM Mosquito Program’s Success 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了科学家培育改良蚊子对抗疾病的相关举措及成效。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中““We actually grow these mosquitoes that contain the bacterium,” Scott O’Neil. An Australian scientist who is involved in the project, told CBC News. When the modified mosquitoes are released, they slowly spread the bacterium to the population.(“我们实际上是在培育携带这种细菌的蚊子，”参与该项目的澳大利亚科学家斯科特·奥尼尔告诉加拿大广播公司新闻。当改良后的蚊子被释放后，它们会慢慢将这种细菌传播给人群)”可知，斯科特·奥尼尔培育改良蚊子是为了传播一种细菌。故选A。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“For example, a controlled experiment in Indonesia showed that the modified insect helped reduce the cases of the disease dengue by 77 percent, according to a study paper published in 2021.(例如，根据2021年发表的一项研究论文，在印度尼西亚进行的一项对照实验表明，这种改良昆虫有助于将登革热病例减少77%。)”可推知，改良蚊子可以显著减少登革热病例。故选D。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段中“Another way to prevent mosquitoes from spreading diseases is by producing genetically modified (GM 转基因的) mosquitoes. In 2022, the US Environmental Protection Agency cleared the release of 2.4 billion GM mosquitoes in California and Florida.(另一种防止蚊子传播疾病的方法是生产转基因蚊子。2022年，美国环境保护局cleared在加利福尼亚州和佛罗里达州释放24亿只转基因蚊子)”可知，防止蚊子传播疾病的一种方法是生产转基因蚊子，所以此处指美国环境保护局批准释放转基因蚊子，故推测cleared意为“批准”，与“Approved”意思相近。故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段中“Most people hate mosquitoes-but scientists are about to build a ‘mosquito factory’ to release modified mosquitoes.(大多数人讨厌蚊子，但科学家们即将建造一个“蚊子工厂”来释放改良蚊子)”以及下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了科学家们通过培育改良蚊子来对抗疾病。因此，B选项“改良蚊子对抗疾病”最符合文章主旨。故选B。 D This week, Google researchers published a paper describing results from an AI tool built to create music. The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words. Several different music examples produced by MusicLM were published online. Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno”. The tool also created other examples from more detailed descriptions containing whole sentences. In one example, Google researchers included these instructions to MusicLM, “It is a soundtrack of a game. It is fast-paced and upbeat, with a catchy electric guitar riff (反复乐节). The music is repetitive and easy to remember, but with unexpected sounds.” In the resulting recording, the music seemed to keep very close to the description. The team said the more detailed the description was, the better the system could attempt to produce it. The MusicLM model operates similarly to the machine-learning systems used by ChatGPT. ChatGPT and MusicLM both require powerful computers to operate complex machine-learning models. The San Francisco-based company OpenAI launched ChatGPT late last year. ChatGPT has recently received a lot of attention because of its ability to generate complex writings and other content from just a simple description in natural languages. Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works. However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool. One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other. The researchers said this raised a question about appropriateness for music generation for cultures underrepresented in the training data. 12. What can we learn about MusicLM? A. It is the first AI music tool to be launched. B. It requires detailed descriptions of full sentences. C. It generates complex writings from a simple description. D. It creates music based on simple descriptive words. 13. What can be inferred from the passage about AI tools like MusicLM and ChatGPT? A. They will soon replace human creators. B. They need a large amount of data for training. C. They have no limitations in their applications. D. They are only useful in the field of music. 14. Which of the following is an issue of the MusicLM model? A. Being difficult for some people to use. B. Requiring too much training data. C. Creating music with strong preference. D. Producing music works with no creativity. 15. What is the main idea of the passage? A. The development of AI tools. B. The popularity of ChatGPT. C. The features and problems of MusicLM. D. The difference between MusicLM and ChatGPT. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一款名为MusicLM的人工智能音乐工具。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.(但谷歌提供的例子表明，仅基于少量描述性词语就能展现出音乐创作能力)”和第二段“Some of the generated music came from just one-or-two-word descriptions, such as “jazz”, “rock” or “techno”.(有些生成的音乐则是根据一两个词的描述来创作的，比如“爵士乐”“摇滚乐”或者“电子音乐”)”可知，MusicLM根据简单的描述性词语就可以创作音乐。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Such tools can produce human-like results because they are trained on huge amounts of data. Many different materials are fed into the systems to permit them to learn complex skills to create realistic works.(这类工具能够生成与人类相似结果，是因为它们是基于大量数据进行训练的。各种不同的材料被输入到系统中，以便它们能够学习复杂的技能，从而创作出逼真的作品)”可知，像MusciLM和ChatGPT这样的AI工具，需要大量的数据进行训练。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“One of the biggest issues the researchers identified was biases present in the training data. A bias might be including too much of one side and not enough of the other.(研究人员发现的最大问题之一是训练数据中存在的偏见——这种偏见可能表现为过度呈现某一方观点而忽视另一方)”可知，MusicLM模型的一个问题是在创作音乐时带有强烈的偏好。故选C。 15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“The tool, called MusicLM, is not the first AI music tool to be launched. But the examples Google provided demonstrate musical creative ability based on a limited set of descriptive words.(这款名为MusicLM的工具并非首个问世的人工智能音乐创作工具。但谷歌提供的示例展示了仅凭少量描述性词汇就能生成音乐作品的创造性能力)”和最后一段“However, the MusicLM researchers said there were some risks linked to the new tool.(然而，MusicLM的研究人员表示，这款新工具存在一些风险)”以及全文内容可知，本文主要介绍了MusicLM的特点和问题。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，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。 In today’s rapidly evolving world, the importance of critical thinking can’t be overstated.

When I entered Senior One, our school held an English speech competition, which I dreamed of taking part in for a long time. However, the fear of being laughed at always stopped me from signing up. I was worried that I would forget my words or make silly mistakes in pronunciation during the speech. My English teacher Ms. Liu found my desire and my fear. She is a patient and knowledgeable teacher who always encourages us to challenge ourselves. One day, she talked to me softly and said that courage was not the absence of fear, but the decision to move forward despite fear. She told me that every chance to try was a step to grow, even if I failed. Her words touched my heart deeply, and I finally made up my mind to sign up for the competition. I spent all my spare time practicing my speech. I read it aloud again and again to correct my pronunciation, and I asked Ms. Liu to help me polish the speech and correct my grammar mistakes. She guided me patiently and taught me some skills of public speaking, like how to make eye contact with the audience and control my speed. As the competition drew near, my nervousness grew day by day. I practiced my speech hundreds of times, yet I still felt anxious, afraid that I would let myself and Ms. Liu down. I even thought about giving up when I stumbled over some sentences during the last practice before the competition. On the eve of the competition, Ms. Liu sent me a short message, which said, “Believe in yourself, and your efforts will never be in vain. Be brave, and you will shine.” Staring at the warm words, I took a deep breath and told myself that I should fight for my dream bravely, no matter what the result would be. 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。 Paragraph 1: The day of the English speech competition finally arrived. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When I finished my speech, a wave of warm applause swept over the hall. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Paragraph 1: The day of the English speech competition finally arrived. Walking into the hall with my heart beating fast, I saw many students waiting nervously for their turn. When my name was called, I took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage calmly. I looked at the audience and saw Ms. Liu sitting in the front row, smiling and nodding at me to encourage me. With her warm gaze, I began my speech smoothly, trying my best to express every word clearly and confidently. I focused on my speech and forgot all my nervousness gradually. Paragraph 2: When I finished my speech, a wave of warm applause swept over the hall. I bowed politely and walked off the stage with a big smile. In the end, I won the second prize, which made me extremely excited and proud. Ms. Liu congratulated me sincerely and said that my courage and hard work deserved the reward. This unforgettable experience taught me that we should never let fear hold us back from chasing our dreams. As long as we believe in ourselves and keep trying bravely, we will surely make our dreams come true and grow into a better self. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。作者热爱英语演讲却生性羞涩，老师刘女士发现后鼓励作者挑战自我，作者决心参赛并努力练习，临近比赛仍紧张，最终在老师鼓励下勇敢逐梦。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“英语演讲比赛的日子终于到来了”可知，第一段可以描写作者走进赛场时的紧张状态、听到自己名字被喊到时的应对方式、看到刘老师鼓励的目光后的状态，以及演讲过程中逐渐克服紧张、流畅表达的过程。 ②由第二段句首内容“当我结束演讲时，一阵热烈的掌声席卷了整个大厅”可知，第二段可以描写作者演讲结束后的表现、获奖后的激动与自豪、刘老师对作者的祝贺与肯定，最后升华文章的主旨：不要让恐惧阻碍追梦的脚步，相信自己并勇敢尝试就能成长为更好的自己。 2.续写线索：比赛到来心生紧张 —— 被叫登台沉着应对 —— 得老师鼓励流畅演讲 —— 演讲结束收获掌声 —— 荣获二等奖倍感自豪 —— 老师祝贺点明道理 —— 总结感悟坚定信念 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走进大厅：walk into the hall/enter the hall ②深呼吸：take a deep breath/breathe deeply ③走上舞台：step onto the stage/go up onto the stage 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously ②兴奋：excited/thrilled 【点睛】【高分句型1】When my name was called, I took a deep breath and stepped onto the stage calmly.
