Their stories are a reminder of how science and innovation can shape the course of history and the world we live. Let’s explore what makes them special. Jonas Salk Jonas Salk was an American medical researcher and physician, who discovered and perfected the first vaccine (疫苗) in preventing polio (小儿麻痹症), one of the most-feared diseases of the early 20th century. On the day his vaccine was announced “safe and effective”, Salk was interviewed and asked who owned the patent; Salk replied, “Well, the people, I would say.” Norman Borlaug Norman Borlaug, an American agricultural scientist, devoted his life to advancing agricultural science. He developed new wheat varieties, which helped greatly increase food production in many developing countries, saving millions from hunger. For his contributions, he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970. Marie Curie Marie Curie, a Polish-French scientist, was known as the “Mother of Modern Physics” for her pioneer work in research about radioactivity (放射), a word she created. She co-discovered polonium and radium, which helped treatment (治疗) for cancer. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize (Physics in 1903), and the first person to win a second Nobel Prize (Chemistry in 1911). Elon Musk Elon Musk, a South African-born American businessman, has made waves in various fields. He founded Tesla, pushing the development of electric vehicles to reduce air pollution. He also established Space X, aiming to make space travel affordable and eventually live in Mars. His great ideas have inspired a new generation of inventors. 21. Why did Norman Borlaug win the Nobel Peace Prize? A. He advocated organic farming methods. B. He helped reduce hunger worldwide. C. He donated food to developing countries. D. He improved rice seeds and its production. 22. What is special about Marie Curie? A. She’s expert at chemistry and medicine. B. She was the first woman scientist. C. She won the Nobel Prize in two fields. D. She created radiation treatment for cancer. 23. What do all the four figures have in common? A. They are all physics geniuses. B. They set up funds for inventors. C. They are pioneers shaping the world. D. They are committed to the medical field. B At the edge of an ice cliff (悬崖), a group of Emperor penguins stay close together, their tiny bodies swaying (摇摆) in the cold wind. Suddenly, one penguin moves forward. In a heartbeat, it jumping into the icy sea below. Off-camera, a voice breaks the silence, filled with amazement and joy: “I can’t believe it! He made it!” This scene is from Secrets of the Penguins, a new National Geographic series. The voice belongs to Bertie Gregory, the wildlife filmmaker. Gregory has made a career out of documenting the wildlife that are difficult to find. In Secrets of the Penguins, he teams up with Garcia Borboroglu, Argentinian biologist and environmentalist whose life’s work is mainly about sea birds, and particularly penguins. Together, they have been honoured with the title of 2025 Rolex National Geographic Explorers of the Year — an award given to individuals who cast a critical light on important issues, discoveries, and challenges facing our planet, and inspire action for a more eco-friendly future. Gregory’s journey began at 18, when he won the Youth Outdoor Photographer of the Year award. As a Zoology (动物学) graduate from the University of Bristol, he soon found himself assisting legendary National Geographic Magazine photographer Steve Winter, who became his early teacher. Since then, he has become addicted to doing exciting things for his work, like hanging from the bottom of a helicopter or tracking animals through thick forests, always with his camera ready to film. In Secrets of the Penguins, with Borboroglu’s deep knowledge of penguins and Gregory’s talent for storytelling, viewers get a special look into the hidden lives of these charming seabirds. Filmed using the latest technology in some of the most faraway places on Earth, the series shows moments few have ever seen. Facing with threats from climate change and ecosystems shift, projects like this carry a deeper urgency. This is more than a wildlife documentary; it’s a pressing call to action. By drawing viewers into the beauty of the natural world and showing the results of conservation, Borboroglu and Gregory offer something increasingly precious — hope. 24. How does the author begin the story? A. By introducing the background. B. By exposing Gregory’s hard work. C. By showing the shooting method. D. By describing an impressive scene. 25. Why did Gregory win the title of 2025 Rolex National Geographic Explorers? A. He invented different filming tools. B. He revealed the hidden lives of penguins. C. He discovered penguins in Antarctica. D. He criticised some environmental action. 26. Which of the following words can best describe Gregory? A. Adventurous and professional. B. Responsible and grateful. C. Confident and understanding. D. Humorous and outgoing. 27. What is the best title for the text? A. Technology’s Role in Wildlife Study B. Teamwork in Environmental Protection C. Antarctic Penguins Now Critically Endangered D. Explorers Protecting Penguins And The Planet C Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, drinking cups of water at an aid station, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That gave her an idea for something more sustainable-a lightweight silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Smith e ordered some cups and tested them at a race in 2021. Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70,000 cups that can be rented out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups. Billions of disposable (一次性的) cups are used around the world each year. These cups are often made of plastic, but even if they are made of paper, they typically have a plastic lining that makes it difficult for them to biodegrade (生物降解). Making these cups, and disposing or burning them, also generates planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. “It’s something that generates a lot of waste, and the waste — depending on what exactly it’s made of — can really last in landfills for hundreds of years,” said Sarah Gleeson, an expert at climate nonprofit Project Drawdown. Now, Smithe rents out thousands of reusable cups, driving them to events in big boxes and leaving recycling bins with the company logo for collection after use. By the start of May this year, Smithe estimated she’s taken her cups to 137 races and spared more than 900,000 disposable ones from the landfills. Gleeson sees the reusable cups as an effective way that innovators are looking to cut down on waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local or small applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby recycling bins later on. High adoption of sustainable solutions really maximizes environmental benefits. 28. What inspired Smithe’s business idea? A. The popularity of lightweight cups. B. The disposable cups in the Marathon. C. Runners’ demands for quality cups. D. Insufficient cup supply at aid stations. 29. Why does the author mention Sarah Gleeson’s words in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the growing global warming. B. To highlight the value of waste sorting. C. To show the determining factor of pollution. D. To stress the necessity of reducing plastic waste. 30. What is Hiccup Earth’s primary service? A. Selling reusable cups directly to runners. B. Donating silicone cups to race organizers. C. Renting recyclable cups to sports events. D. Offering eco-friendly materials to cup producers. 31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on more sustainable practice. B. To analyze potential challenges. C To compare waste reduction measures. D. To introduce another innovation. D It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also find themselves discussing some very important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds children who set big goals in terms of their future career and education often set themselves up for success as they get older. The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Rodica Damian, a professor of psychology at the University of Houston, are the first to relate life goal development to future success in school or the workplace. Damian and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change and these changes are expected to have influences on future life outcomes, including occupational (职业的) outcomes. During the study, researchers compared how these goals changed as children moved from adolescence (青春期) to adulthood and how a person’s goals impacted their success in school and as a worker later on. To do this, the team examined two youth groups from Iceland who were followed for 12 years. By understanding how changes in life goals relate to educational and occupational outcomes, researchers show how changes within individuals may also predict desired educational and occupational achievement. “For educational achievement, the strongest effects were found for education goals. Both initial levels and slopes (坡度) of education goals were positively associated with educational achievement in both samples,” Damian reports. “This indicates that adolescents with higher education goals, and those who showed a more positive change pattern in education goals, had higher educational achievement in young adulthood.” Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future success in life were concordant with their income in adulthood throughout their life. Simply put, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! If you can dream it, you can be it. 32. What is the significance of the new study according to the text? A. It tells children the importance of setting goals in school. B. It presents how to change goals during different stages. C. It shows the connection between life goals and future success. D. It encourages kids to have a plan for their future work early. 33. How did researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing typical cases. B. By observing the youth’s daily activities. C. By interviewing adults of different ages. D. By comparing the long-term information of the youth. 34. What does the underlined word “concordant” mean in the last paragraph? A. Consistent. B. Unrelated. C. Contrary. D. Competitive. 35. What does the author suggest kids do? A. Struggle for educational and career goals. B Aim high and have ambitious goals. C. Make regular change in goal choices. D. Value the experience in adolescence. 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。 Some people seem to have a naturally higher baseline for happiness — one large-scale study of more than 2,000 twins suggested that around 50% of overall life satisfaction was due to genetics (遗传学), 10% to external events, and 40% to individual activities. So while you might not be able to control what your “base level” of happiness is, there are things that you can do to make your life happier and more fulfilling. ____36____ Get Regular Exercise. Exercise is good for both your body and mind. Physical activity is linked to a range of physical and psychological benefits including improved mood.

They meant speed and freedom to me. But the shoes were very expensive, and my pocket money was only enough for bus tickets and school lunches. They felt like an impossible dream. To solve this, I looked for a part-time job. I noticed that an old neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who had bad eyesight, needed help with shopping. I bravely asked him if I could help, and he agreed happily, offering to pay me a little for my time. My first job was on a rainy Saturday. The supermarket was busy and noisy. I had to guide Mr. Jenkins slowly, telling him about the items and prices. It was a test of patience. Carrying the heavy shopping bags made my arms tired. Whenever I felt bored or tired, I would think about the shoes. That thought gave me energy to continue. After a few hours of careful work, Mr. Jenkins paid me. It wasn’t a lot of money, but it was my first step toward buying the shoes. Holding the money, I felt very proud of myself. I went straight to the sports store, feeling excited. On my way, I passed by a small building site near my home. There, I saw a familiar person — my father. He was working hard, carrying heavy bags of cement (水泥). His clothes were dirty with dust, his gloves were torn, and sweat was on his face. I knew he worked on a building site, but I had never actually seen him doing such tiring work before. Seeing him like that made my heart feel heavy. My dream of buying expensive shoes suddenly seemed less important and a bit selfish. 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。 In the sports store, I found the shoes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During my father’s break, I went to the building site and gave him the gifts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年高二年级上学期期末考试 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，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 考试时间为120分钟，满分150分 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What are the speakers doing?

A 18. C 19. B 20. A 【解析】 【原文】The US Postal system was established on July 26th, 1775, with founding father, Benjamin Franklin as the first Postmaster General. It set into motion much of what we think of today as mail delivery. And that system mostly relies on the tireless dedication of US mail carriers. If you think postal delivery people riding around on scooters is a new thing, we’re here to tell you: mailmen have been delivering mail by scooter for more than a century. Did you know that women have been working as mail carriers since the turn of the 20th century? Women were initially employed only to service rural routes. However, by 1917, female mail carriers had begun taking city routes. Today, more than one-third of all letter carriers are women. The first official airmail was delivered on May 15th, 1918. Officer James Clark Edgerton was the youngest of the six pilots who first began to fly the mail. He got the job because of his father who worked for the US Post Office Department, according to the Smithsonian Postal Museum.

Let’s explore what makes them special.(纵观历史，那些有所成就的人将毕生精力投入到解决重大难题和进行探索之中。他们的故事提醒着我们，科学与创新能够如何塑造历史进程以及我们所生活的这个世界。让我们来探究一下他们之所以出众的原因吧)”并结合全文内容可知，文章介绍的四个人物：乔纳斯·索尔克研发出小儿麻痹症疫苗对抗疾病；博洛格致力于利用农业技术缓解全球饥饿；居里夫人推动物理科学与癌症治疗；马斯克推动电动汽车与太空探索，四人均为各领域先驱，推动世界发展。故选C项。 B At the edge of an ice cliff (悬崖), a group of Emperor penguins stay close together, their tiny bodies swaying (摇摆) in the cold wind. Suddenly, one penguin moves forward. In a heartbeat, it jumping into the icy sea below. Off-camera, a voice breaks the silence, filled with amazement and joy: “I can’t believe it! He made it!” This scene is from Secrets of the Penguins, a new National Geographic series. The voice belongs to Bertie Gregory, the wildlife filmmaker. Gregory has made a career out of documenting the wildlife that are difficult to find. In Secrets of the Penguins, he teams up with Garcia Borboroglu, Argentinian biologist and environmentalist whose life’s work is mainly about sea birds, and particularly penguins. Together, they have been honoured with the title of 2025 Rolex National Geographic Explorers of the Year — an award given to individuals who cast a critical light on important issues, discoveries, and challenges facing our planet, and inspire action for a more eco-friendly future. Gregory’s journey began at 18, when he won the Youth Outdoor Photographer of the Year award. As a Zoology (动物学) graduate from the University of Bristol, he soon found himself assisting legendary National Geographic Magazine photographer Steve Winter, who became his early teacher. Since then, he has become addicted to doing exciting things for his work, like hanging from the bottom of a helicopter or tracking animals through thick forests, always with his camera ready to film. In Secrets of the Penguins, with Borboroglu’s deep knowledge of penguins and Gregory’s talent for storytelling, viewers get a special look into the hidden lives of these charming seabirds. Filmed using the latest technology in some of the most faraway places on Earth, the series shows moments few have ever seen. Facing with threats from climate change and ecosystems shift, projects like this carry a deeper urgency. This is more than a wildlife documentary; it’s a pressing call to action. By drawing viewers into the beauty of the natural world and showing the results of conservation, Borboroglu and Gregory offer something increasingly precious — hope. 24. How does the author begin the story? A. By introducing the background. B. By exposing Gregory’s hard work. C. By showing the shooting method. D. By describing an impressive scene. 25. Why did Gregory win the title of 2025 Rolex National Geographic Explorers? A. He invented different filming tools. B. He revealed the hidden lives of penguins. C.

By drawing viewers into the beauty of the natural world and showing the results of conservation, Borboroglu and Gregory offer something increasingly precious — hope.(这不仅仅是一部野生动物纪录片，更是一份紧迫的行动呼吁。通过让观众感受自然世界的美，展示保护工作的成果，Borboroglu和Gregory为人们带来了越来越珍贵的东西——希望。)”可知，文章核心讲述了两位探索家合作拍摄企鹅纪录片，展现企鹅生存状态，同时通过作品呼吁环保，保护企鹅与地球的故事，所以“探险家保护企鹅和地球”准确涵盖核心人物、事件与对象，最适合作本文标题。故选D项。 C Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, drinking cups of water at an aid station, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That gave her an idea for something more sustainable-a lightweight silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Smith e ordered some cups and tested them at a race in 2021. Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70,000 cups that can be rented out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups. Billions of disposable (一次性的) cups are used around the world each year. These cups are often made of plastic, but even if they are made of paper, they typically have a plastic lining that makes it difficult for them to biodegrade (生物降解). Making these cups, and disposing or burning them, also generates planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. “It’s something that generates a lot of waste, and the waste — depending on what exactly it’s made of — can really last in landfills for hundreds of years,” said Sarah Gleeson, an expert at climate nonprofit Project Drawdown. Now, Smithe rents out thousands of reusable cups, driving them to events in big boxes and leaving recycling bins with the company logo for collection after use. By the start of May this year, Smithe estimated she’s taken her cups to 137 races and spared more than 900,000 disposable ones from the landfills. Gleeson sees the reusable cups as an effective way that innovators are looking to cut down on waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local or small applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby recycling bins later on. High adoption of sustainable solutions really maximizes environmental benefits. 28. What inspired Smithe’s business idea? A. The popularity of lightweight cups. B. The disposable cups in the Marathon. C. Runners’ demands for quality cups. D. Insufficient cup supply at aid stations. 29. Why does the author mention Sarah Gleeson’s words in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the growing global warming. B. To highlight the value of waste sorting. C. To show the determining factor of pollution. D. To stress the necessity of reducing plastic waste. 30. What is Hiccup Earth’s primary service? A. Selling reusable cups directly to runners. B. Donating silicone cups to race organizers. C. Renting recyclable cups to sports events. D. Offering eco-friendly materials to cup producers. 31. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on more sustainable practice. B. To analyze potential challenges. C. To compare waste reduction measures. D. To introduce another innovation. 【答案】28. B 29. D 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kristina Smithe在参加马拉松比赛时，受到一次性杯子浪费现象的启发，创立了Hiccup Earth公司，提供可重复使用的硅胶杯以减少浪费。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, drinking cups of water at an aid station, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away.(2019年，Kristina Smithe在参加加州国际马拉松比赛时，在补给站喝了几杯水，她开始思考这样的活动会产生多少垃圾。在回家的飞机上，她算了一笔账：9000名跑步者，17个补给站，大约15万只一次性杯子用过就被扔掉了)”和第二段中“That gave her an idea for something more sustainable — a lightweight silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again.(这让她想到了一个更可持续的主意——一个可以反复使用的轻便硅胶杯)”可知，Smithe是在马拉松比赛中看到一次性杯子的浪费现象后，受到启发产生了可重复使用杯子的商业想法。故选B项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“These cups are often made of plastic, but even if they are made of paper, they typically have a plastic lining that makes it difficult for them to biodegrade (生物降解). Making these cups, and disposing or burning them, also generates planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. “It’s something that generates a lot of waste, and the waste — depending on what exactly it’s made of — can really last in landfills for hundreds of years,” said Sarah Gleeson, an expert at climate nonprofit Project Drawdown.(这些杯子通常由塑料制成，即便使用纸制品，其内壁也往往覆有塑料膜，导致难以生物降解。无论是生产过程，还是丢弃焚烧这些杯子，都会产生导致全球变暖的温室气体。非营利气候组织“项目减排”专家Sarah Gleeson指出：“这类物品产生大量废弃物，根据具体材质不同，可能在垃圾填埋场存留数百年之久。”)”可知，作者提到Sarah Gleeson的话是为了强调一次性杯子造成的浪费和污染问题，从而凸显减少塑料垃圾的必要性。故选D项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70,000 cups that can be rented out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups.(现在，她的公司Hiccup Earth有7万个杯子可以出租给感兴趣的比赛，以取代典型的白色纸杯)”和第四段中“Now, Smithe rents out thousands of reusable cups, driving them to events in big boxes and leaving recycling bins with the company logo for collection after use.(现在，Smithe出租了数千个可重复使用的杯子，用大箱子把它们运到活动现场，并留下带有公司标志的回收箱，以便使用后收集)”可知，Hiccup Earth的主要业务是将可回收杯子租给体育赛事。故选C项。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local or small applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby recycling bins later on. High adoption of sustainable solutions really maximizes environmental benefits.(可循环使用杯是创新者寻求减少废弃物的重要途径。这类解决方案必须立足便捷性，扎根地方性或小范围应用，才能提升公众接受度。例如，某些城市正在试点可循环外卖餐盒计划，顾客可将使用后的餐盒投递至附近的回收箱。当可持续方案获得广泛采纳时，环境效益才能真正实现最大化)”可知，最后一段旨在呼吁采用更多可持续的做法，比如循环外卖餐盒，以最大化环境效益。故选A项。 D It’s one of the most common questions adults ask children: what do you want to be when you grow up? Although childhood is supposed to be fun, kids also find themselves discussing some very important topics regarding their futures. Now, a new study finds children who set big goals in terms of their future career and education often set themselves up for success as they get older. The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Rodica Damian, a professor of psychology at the University of Houston, are the first to relate life goal development to future success in school or the workplace. Damian and other researchers discovered that as children grow up, their goals naturally begin to change and these changes are expected to have influences on future life outcomes, including occupational (职业的) outcomes. During the study, researchers compared how these goals changed as children moved from adolescence (青春期) to adulthood and how a person’s goals impacted their success in school and as a worker later on. To do this, the team examined two youth groups from Iceland who were followed for 12 years. By understanding how changes in life goals relate to educational and occupational outcomes, researchers show how changes within individuals may also predict desired educational and occupational achievement. “For educational achievement, the strongest effects were found for education goals. Both initial levels and slopes (坡度) of education goals were positively associated with educational achievement in both samples,” Damian reports. “This indicates that adolescents with higher education goals, and those who showed a more positive change pattern in education goals, had higher educational achievement in young adulthood.” Overall, a child’s goals focusing on their education and future success in life were concordant with their income in adulthood throughout their life. Simply put, when a child dreams big about doing well in school or achieving great success as an adult, these goals accurately paint a picture of how successful these children will be. So, the message is simple: dream big and dream of success, kids! If you can dream it, you can be it. 32. What is the significance of the new study according to the text? A. It tells children the importance of setting goals in school. B. It presents how to change goals during different stages. C. It shows the connection between life goals and future success. D. It encourages kids to have a plan for their future work early. 33. How did researchers conduct the study? A. By analyzing typical cases. B. By observing the youth’s daily activities. C. By interviewing adults of different ages. D. By comparing the long-term information of the youth. 34. What does the underlined word “concordant” mean in the last paragraph? A. Consistent. B. Unrelated. C. Contrary. D. Competitive. 35. What does the author suggest kids do? A. Struggle for educational and career goals. B. Aim high and have ambitious goals. C. Make regular change in goal choices. D. Value the experience in adolescence. 【答案】32. C 33. D 34. A 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍一项新研究发现儿童树立远大的学业和职业目标与未来成功密切相关。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The findings, published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology by Rodica Damian, a professor of psychology at the University of Houston, are the first to relate life goal development to future success in school or the workplace.

They meant speed and freedom to me. But the shoes were very expensive, and my pocket money was only enough for bus tickets and school lunches. They felt like an impossible dream. To solve this, I looked for a part-time job. I noticed that an old neighbor, Mr. Jenkins, who had bad eyesight, needed help with shopping. I bravely asked him if I could help, and he agreed happily, offering to pay me a little for my time. My first job was on a rainy Saturday. The supermarket was busy and noisy. I had to guide Mr. Jenkins slowly, telling him about the items and prices. It was a test of patience. Carrying the heavy shopping bags made my arms tired. Whenever I felt bored or tired, I would think about the shoes. That thought gave me energy to continue. After a few hours of careful work, Mr. Jenkins paid me. It wasn’t a lot of money, but it was my first step toward buying the shoes. Holding the money, I felt very proud of myself. I went straight to the sports store, feeling excited. On my way, I passed by a small building site near my home. There, I saw a familiar person — my father. He was working hard, carrying heavy bags of cement (水泥). His clothes were dirty with dust, his gloves were torn, and sweat was on his face. I knew he worked on a building site, but I had never actually seen him doing such tiring work before. Seeing him like that made my heart feel heavy. My dream of buying expensive shoes suddenly seemed less important and a bit selfish. 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。 In the sports store, I found the shoes. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ During my father’s break, I went to the building site and gave him the gifts. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: In the sports store, I found the shoes. They looked perfect under the bright lights. But as I was about to take them, I recalled my father’s tired face. The money in my pocket now felt different. After thinking for a while, I decided not to buy the shoes. Instead, I went to a nearby shop and bought a pair of strong work gloves and a good water bottle for my father. It was a hard choice, but I felt right. During my father’s break, I went to the building site and gave him the gifts. He was very surprised. He took the gloves and the bottle, looking at them quietly for a moment. Then he looked at me with soft eyes and gave me a warm hug. “Thank you, son,” he said, his voice full of emotion. At that moment, I didn’t think about the shoes anymore. I felt a much deeper happiness — the joy of giving to someone you love. I learned that true value isn’t in what you buy for yourself, but in what you can do for others. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者对跑鞋的渴望与思想转变为线索展开，讲述了17岁的作者为买心仪的昂贵跑鞋，主动帮视力不佳的邻居詹金斯先生购物赚钱。当作者拿着辛苦挣来的钱去买鞋时，偶然看到父亲在工地辛苦劳作，内心受到触动，对买鞋的想法产生动摇的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容“在运动用品店，我找到了那双鞋。”可知，第一段可描写鞋子十分合心意，但作者想起父亲疲惫的模样，改变买鞋的想法，转而给父亲买了耐用的工作手套和水壶，虽做了艰难决定，却内心坦然。 ②由第二段首句内容“父亲休息时，我去了工地，把礼物递给了他。”可知，第二段可描写父亲收到礼物十分惊讶，默默端详后深情拥抱作者并致谢，作者不再执着于跑鞋，领悟到给予亲人的爱比为自己买贵重物品更有价值。 2. 续写线索：找到心仪跑鞋——回忆父亲辛劳，内心动摇——放弃买鞋，为父亲选购礼物——赠送礼物给父亲——父亲感动拥抱——领悟付出的意义 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①想起：recall/think of ②购置：buy/purchase ③给某人拥抱：give sb. a hug/embrace sb./hug sb. 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②喜悦：happiness/joy 【点睛】[高分句型1] He took the gloves and the bottle, looking at them quietly for a moment.(运用了现在分词短语作状语) [高分句型2] I learned that true value isn’t in what you buy for yourself, but in what you can do for others.(运用了that引导宾语从句以及“not...but...”连接两个并列结构和what引导的宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语试题第一部分听力第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。Text one, I haven informed everyone that there will be a meeting this afternoon.
