B Efforts to help Scotland’s red squirrels are bearing positive fruits, which owes much to the Saving Scotland’s Red Squirrels (SSRS) project and its helper, Polly Pullar, who has transformed her farm into red squirrels’ natural habitat. Polly recalls her first encounters with red squirrels at school in Dunkeld. Despite being a top student and popular girl on campus, she, as a boarder, frequently missed her family far away when she was alone. She got her first baby squirrels to look after in the nearby woods. “I became completely absorbed in them and they distracted me from missing home too much,” she says. The squirrels eventually returned to the wild, and since then she has regularly taken more in, developing special techniques such as regular touching to stimulate bodily functions. In Polly’s view, the eventual release is often challenging because the newly released squirrels still need feeding until they rewild themselves. Their susceptible character makes them suffer from stress more seriously than other small creatures. Polly’s own farm, where she lives now, has a rising population of the reds. With the help of the SSRS, more than 20,000 trees have been planted. On the farm, everything is kept untidy. “We arrange it intentionally to keep the living environment of squirrels original and natural.” To Polly’s relief, it has proved a major boost for the reds’ population. Polly believes the reds have a healthy future if efforts can be maintained. That is a matter of money, one for the politicians. The experience of raising red squirrels has taught Polly a lesson: “When I have these baby squirrels in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.” 4. What did tending the baby squirrels relieve Polly of? A. Social anxiety. B. Academic pressure. C. Intense homesickness. D. Life’s boredom. 5. The underlined word “susceptible” in the sentence probably means ______. A. resistant to change B. easily affected C. extremely aggressive D. totally indifferent 6. Why doesn’t Polly keep the farm neat and well arranged? A. To attract the attention of the SSRS. B. To safeguard a habitat free from disturbance. C. To seek politicians’ economic support. D. To make room for newly-planted trees. 7. What do Polly’s words mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Her pride in human superiority. B. Her affection for red squirrels. C. Her appreciation of the wildness. D. Her awareness of shared responsibility. C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced？ A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings. C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? D For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it? Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment—almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries. However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. One researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light's direction accurately. In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it. The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment—without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought. This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world—and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By presenting a puzzle. B. By telling a story. C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher. 13. What can be inferred about the Arabidopsis from paragraph 3? A. Its stem structure is much simpler than that of other plants. B. It relies on specific cells to directly absorb light signals. C. The air channels in it help the plant "see" the light. D. It scatters light to protect itself from strong sunlight. 14. What is the significance of the research findings? A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants' passive growth pattern. C. They confirm Aristotle's theory about plants. D. They challenge conventional perceptions of plants. 15. What might be the future impact of this research? A. Faster plant growth. B. More robot production. C. Stronger leaf formation. D. Better light sensors. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Art of Mindful Reading in the Digital Age In a world filled with short-form content and digital distractions, mindful reading — deliberate, focused engagement with a text — has become a valuable practice. Unlike passive scrolling, it requires intentionality and presence. It prioritizes depth over speed, unlike skimming. ____16____ To practice mindful reading, first create a distraction-free environment. ____17____ Turn off phone notifications, find a quiet space, and set aside 20-30 minutes daily. This dedicated time helps your brain shift to contemplation mode for deeper engagement. Next, approach the text with curiosity, not a “finish quickly” goal. ____18____ Pause to reflect on unfamiliar concepts, reread confusing parts, and ask: What is the author conveying? How does this connect to my experiences? Active engagement turns reading into a dialogue. ____19____ It facilitates a deeper immersion into mindful reading. In a speed-obsessed culture, it’s easy to feel anxious if you don’t “get” a text immediately. But mindful reading encourages sitting with uncertainty, letting ideas unfold naturally. This reduces stress and improves comprehension. Finally, reflect after reading. Jot down key insights or questions post-chapter. ____20____ Writing solidifies understanding and makes the experience personal. Mindful reading is about cultivating a deeper relationship with words. It offers a chance to slow down, think deeply, and reconnect with the power of ideas. A. Take a quick note to stay focused. B. Embrace silence and patience, too. C. It enriches thinking, deepens empathy, and fosters calm. D. This reflection doesn’t have to be formal — notes work fine. E. Avoid multitasking-reading while eating divides attention. F. Rushing to meet a “reading goal” defeats mindful engagement. G. This intentional focus helps absorb and retain information better. 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，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 Artist Charlotte Davis has a unique approach to spreading love and caring for people who serve others.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, bank accountants, and various professions. When Mrs. Thompson turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I responded firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often returns home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my upbringing created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. After hearing my answer, Mrs. Thompson didn’t make any comment. Instead, she advised me to think more about that. A turning point came when our school decided to stage a New Year’s play. It was the grandest event of the year, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. Preparing for our roles, I needed to buy costume. Unfortunately, my mom had to travel to another city for work, so it fell upon my dad to accompany me. Reluctantly (不情愿地), I agreed, realizing there was no other option. In the mall, it became evident that my dad was clueless about the items on the shopping list. Despite Mom providing a detailed list, we wandered through different floors, in and out between different shops before finally getting everything we needed. And I was getting more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My dad rushed forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年高三年级第一次模拟考试 英语试题 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在答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

The experience of raising red squirrels has taught Polly a lesson: “When I have these baby squirrels in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.” 4. What did tending the baby squirrels relieve Polly of? A. Social anxiety. B. Academic pressure. C. Intense homesickness. D. Life’s boredom. 5. The underlined word “susceptible” in the sentence probably means ______. A. resistant to change B. easily affected C. extremely aggressive D. totally indifferent 6. Why doesn’t Polly keep the farm neat and well arranged? A. To attract the attention of the SSRS. B. To safeguard a habitat free from disturbance. C. To seek politicians’ economic support. D. To make room for newly-planted trees. 7. What do Polly’s words mainly convey in the last paragraph? A. Her pride in human superiority. B. Her affection for red squirrels. C. Her appreciation of the wildness. D. Her awareness of shared responsibility. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述波莉·普拉尔通过改造农场为红松鼠打造自然栖息地，助力苏格兰红松鼠保护项目，以及她的相关经历和感悟。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I became completely absorbed in them and they distracted me from missing home too much,(我完全沉浸在它们身上，它们让我不再那么思念家乡)”可知，照料幼松鼠缓解了波莉强烈的思乡之情，故选C项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“In Polly’s view, the eventual release is often challenging because the newly released squirrels still need feeding until they rewild themselves. Their susceptible character makes them suffer from stress more seriously than other small creatures.(在波莉看来，最终的放归往往具有挑战性，因为新放归的松鼠在重新适应野外生活之前仍需要喂食。它们的susceptible性格使它们比其他小动物更容易受到压力)”可知，该词描述的是这类生物的性格易受外界压力影响的特点，与easily affected意义相近。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“We arrange it intentionally to keep the living environment of squirrels original and natural.(我们故意安排它，以保持松鼠的生活环境原始和自然)”可知，波莉不把农场打理得整洁有序，是为了为松鼠保留一个不受干扰的原始自然栖息地，故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“When I have these baby squirrels in my hands and they are completely dependent on me, they highlight the fact that we humans hold the key to nature. It is our duty to protect the natural world.(当我把这些幼松鼠捧在手里，它们完全依赖我时，这凸显了一个事实：我们人类掌握着自然的钥匙，保护自然世界是我们的责任)”可知，波莉的话主要传达了她对保护自然的共同责任感，故选D项。 C Robert Campbell, a 68-year-old retired teacher from Glasgow, has lived with type 2 diabetes (糖尿病) for a decade. Recently, worrying blurriness in his vision prompted him to seek a screening for diabetic retinopathy — a diabetes-related eye disease that causes blindness. Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. His local clinic, however, was part of a new pilot program using an AI-powered platform for eye disease called “RetinaScan AI”. The process was simple: a staff member took a photograph of Robert's retina (视网膜). Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by human tiredness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert, who require urgent specialist care. “Platforms like RetinaScan AI are game-changers,” explains Dr. Eleanor Reed, a consultant eye doctor. “They don’t replace our expertise; they enhance it. By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss.” The Glasgow pilot has already yielded promising results. In its first six months, the program successfully screened over 5,000 patients, cutting average wait times for screening from 12 weeks to just days. More importantly, it has accurately tagged hundreds of at risk individuals, like Robert, for early intervention, demonstrating a meaningful impact on patient outcomes. Robert Campbell’s story is just the first chapter. This pilot program paves the way for AI technology to expand globally, reaching millions who need these vital screenings. 8. What problem did Robert Campbell face before the the AI program was introduced？ A. He was found to have a rare diabetic eye disease. B. His eye disease was too advanced to be treated. C. His local clinic lacked the necessary equipment. D. He had to wait long for a specialist appointment. 9. What is the main advantage of “RetinaScan AI” according to the text? A. It replaces the need for human doctors. B. It provides immediate treatment for patients. C. It offers quick and accurate screening in communities. D. It is cheaper than traditional screening methods. 10. Why does Dr Eleanor Reed call AI platforms “game-changers”? A. They finally avoid vision loss. B. They conduct initial screenings. C. They treat complex diseases. D. They work without specialists. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Is AI the Doctor’s Newest Assistant? B. How is AI Transforming Eye Care? C. What Could AI Contribute to Humans? D. Can AI Systems See More Than Doctors? 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，主要介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升，并展望其全球应用前景。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditionally, he would have faced a long wait for a specialist appointment within Scotland’s National Health Service. (按照传统，他要在苏格兰国家医疗服务体系(National Health Service)获得专家预约，需要等待很长时间)”可知，在引入人工智能程序之前，Robert Campbell遇到的问题是他不得不等很长时间才能预约到专家，故选D。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Within minutes, the system provided an automated assessment, detecting subtle signs of the disease with remarkable accuracy. This initiative effectively skipped the traditional bottleneck, bringing expert-level screening directly to the community. (短短几分钟内，该系统便给出了自动评估结果，以极高的准确率检测出了疾病的细微迹象，这一举措有效绕过了传统流程中的瓶颈环节，将专家级的筛查服务直接带到了社区)”可知，RetinaScan AT的主要优势是它为社区提供了快速准确的筛查，故选C。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段Dr. Eleanor Reed所说的“By handling the massive initial screening workload, they ensure that human specialists can focus their skills on complex diagnoses and treatment planning, ultimately preventing preventable vision loss. (通过承担大量初始筛查工作，它们确保人类专家能够将自身技能专注于复杂诊断和治疗方案的制定，最终防止可预防的视力丧失情况发生)”可知，埃莉诺·里德博士称人工智能平台为“游戏规则改变者”是因为它们负责初步筛选，故选B。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第三段“The technology is built on deep learning. The AI was trained on hundreds of thousands of retinal images previously labeled by eye doctors. Through this process, it learned to identify critical indicators of diabetic eye disease with a consistency unaffected by humantedness. Its primary role is screening: efficiently identifying healthy patients and flagging those, like Robert,who require urgent specialist care. (这项技术基于深度学习构建。人工智能接受了数十万张由眼科医生先前标注过的视网膜图像的训练，通过这一过程，它学会了识别糖尿病眼病的关键指标，且识别的一致性不受人为因素影响。它的主要作用是筛查：高效地识别出健康患者，并标记出像罗伯特这样需要紧急专科护理的患者)”可知，本文介绍了AI视网膜筛查技术的工作原理、优势及其对医疗效率的提升，并展望其全球应用前景，主题始终围绕AI如何变革眼科护理，所以“人工智能如何改变眼部护理？”适合作为文章标题。故选B。 D For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light? While animals use eyes to detect the direction of light, plants seem to have no such organ. So how do they do it? Early Greek thinkers believed plants could sense and react to their environment—almost like animals. But Aristotle later argued that plants were passive, unable to perceive or respond to the world around them. His view influenced Western thought for centuries. However, a team of European researchers has now uncovered the secret. They focused on Arabidopsis, a small weed commonly used in plant genetics. Using advanced imaging techniques such as confocal microscopy, the scientists measured how light passes through the plant’s stem. Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. One researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light's direction accurately. In other words, the plant doesn’t need eyes. Instead, it uses its entire body to sense light. This clever mechanism lets seedlings “see” where the light is coming from and adjust their growth toward it. The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive. It turns out that plants have evolved a sophisticated way to perceive their environment—without the need for complex organs like eyes. They are far more active and adaptive than we once thought. This research opens new questions for plant biologists. How are these air channels formed? How exactly do plants process the light information? Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world—and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics. 12. How does the author introduce the topic in the first paragraph? A. By presenting a puzzle. B. By telling a story. C. By stating a phenomenon. D. By quoting a philosopher. 13. What can be inferred about the Arabidopsis from paragraph 3? A. Its stem structure is much simpler than that of other plants. B. It relies on specific cells to directly absorb light signals. C. The air channels in it help the plant "see" the light. D. It scatters light to protect itself from strong sunlight. 14. What is the significance of the research findings? A. They explain the formation of air channels. B. They reveal plants' passive growth pattern. C. They confirm Aristotle's theory about plants. D. They challenge conventional perceptions of plants. 15. What might be the future impact of this research? A. Faster plant growth. B. More robot production. C. Stronger leaf formation. D. Better light sensors. 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. D 15. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。介绍了植物向光生长的古老谜题，阐述了研究意义与未来影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段首句“For over two thousand years, scientists and philosophers have been puzzled by a simple question: how can plants, without eyes, grow toward light?(两千多年来，科学家和哲学家一直被一个简单的问题困扰：没有眼睛的植物，是如何向光生长的？)”可知，文章开篇即提出一个困扰科学家和哲学家两千多年的简单问题：“植物没有眼睛，如何向光生长？”，以此引出主题。这种方式是通过呈现一个长期存在的谜题来吸引读者兴趣。故选A项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“Their results, published in a recent study, showed that the air channels between the plant’s cells scatter the light, bending it significantly as it travels through the tissue. One researcher noted, “It’s like the plant has thousands of tiny lenses.” This scattering creates subtle differences in light intensity across the stem, allowing the plant to pinpoint the light's direction accurately.(他们近期发表在一项研究中的成果表明，植物细胞间的空气通道会散射光线，在光线穿过组织时使其发生显著偏折。一位研究人员指出：“这就像植物有成千上万个微小的透镜。”这种散射会在茎部造成细微的光强差异，从而使植物能够准确地确定光线的方向。)”提到植物细胞间的“空气通道（air channels）”会散射光线，这种散射使得植物能够“准确定位光源方向（pinpoint the light’s direction）”。选项C中的“help the plant ‘see’ the light”是对原文“allowing the plant to pinpoint the light’s direction”的同义替换和概括。这里的“see”加了引号，对应了文章中拟人化的描述，即感知光线的方向。故选C项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“The findings not only solve an ancient mystery but also challenge Aristotle’s idea that plants are passive.(这些发现不仅解开了古老谜题，还挑战了亚里士多德认为植物是被动的观点)”可知，该研究的意义在于挑战了关于植物的传统认知。故选D项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Understanding these mechanisms could help us learn more about how plants interact with the world—and perhaps even inspire new technologies in light sensing and robotics.（(了解这些机制能帮助我们更深入了解植物与世界的互动方式，甚至可能启发光传感和机器人领域的新技术）”可知，该研究未来可能推动更好的光传感器的研发。故选D项。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Art of Mindful Reading in the Digital Age In a world filled with short-form content and digital distractions, mindful reading — deliberate, focused engagement with a text — has become a valuable practice. Unlike passive scrolling, it requires intentionality and presence. It prioritizes depth over speed, unlike skimming. ____16____ To practice mindful reading, first create a distraction-free environment. ____17____ Turn off phone notifications, find a quiet space, and set aside 20-30 minutes daily.

I can’t wait to share my New Year’s holiday volunteer experience at the city botanical garden with you! My main tasks there were guiding visitors around the garden and introducing the unique plants — like explaining the growth habits of rare orchids. Sometimes I also helped sort out the plant — related brochures to make them easier for people to get. This experience was really eye-opening and rewarding. Not only did I learn more about various plants, but I also felt proud to help others know and love nature better. It made my summer both meaningful and fun! Yours, Li Hua 例文② Dear David, I’m dropping you a line to share my New Year’s holiday volunteer experience at the city botanical garden.

This experience turned out to be a lovely surprise: I picked up tons of new botany knowledge, and grew way more confident chatting with people. Most importantly, it made me see how precious nature is — I’ll definitely be more mindful of protecting plants from now on.

The classroom suddenly got filled with eager voices as classmates enthusiastically shared their dreams. “I want to be a college professor,” said Sarah confidently. “I dream of becoming a basketball player,” exclaimed Mike with light in his eye. The air was filled with dreams of doctors, nurses, bank accountants, and various professions. When Mrs. Thompson turned her attention to me, inquiring about my future career, I hesitated. “I don’t know yet,” I admitted. Then she asked if I wished to follow in my dad’s footsteps. “No,” I responded firmly. My dad is a distinguished doctor with a demanding schedule, who often finds himself engaged in the responsibilities of his job. Thus, he often returns home late in the evening. The limited time we spent together during my upbringing created a noticeable distance in our relationship. I had such a lot to complain about his job and thus being a doctor would be the last option I would take. After hearing my answer, Mrs. Thompson didn’t make any comment. Instead, she advised me to think more about that. A turning point came when our school decided to stage a New Year’s play. It was the grandest event of the year, and we had been preparing for it for a long time. Preparing for our roles, I needed to buy costume. Unfortunately, my mom had to travel to another city for work, so it fell upon my dad to accompany me. Reluctantly (不情愿地), I agreed, realizing there was no other option. In the mall, it became evident that my dad was clueless about the items on the shopping list. Despite Mom providing a detailed list, we wandered through different floors, in and out between different shops before finally getting everything we needed. And I was getting more and more uncomfortable. Suddenly, chaos drew our attention. A crowd had gathered, and someone was shouting for help. It turned out that an elderly customer had a fall, and onlookers were at a loss on how to assist. 注意： 1.续写的词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 My dad rushed forward. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】one possible version My dad rushed forward. And I followed suit. “Stay calm, everyone. We need to act quickly,” after he figured out what was going on, he gestured for everyone to remain calm and call emergency services. He started performing first aid, which immediately put those around him at ease. Soon, an ambulance arrived. Thanks to my dad’s timely intervention, the patient regained consciousness, gaining crucial time for further treatment. Then the patient was rushed to the hospital. Witnessing the scene there, I suddenly realized the value of my dad’s work. On the way back home, I thanked Dad, not only for accompanying me to the shopping mall, but also for saving the customer and helping me understand the worth of adult professions. A few days after the play, Mrs. Thompson asked me if I had changed my mind. I replied proudly with a definite “yes”. The journey through the mall had totally reshaped my perspective on the significance of every kind of work and taught me that I should never judge the value of people’s work at will. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，文章讲述课堂上作者不愿继承父业当医生，因父亲忙碌致关系疏远。新年剧筹备时，与父购物遇老人摔倒，父亲果断施救的专业与担当打动作者，让作者理解其责任，最终愿成为医生。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段内容“父亲立刻冲了过去。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：父亲带作者购物时遇老人摔倒，父亲施救并助其恢复意识，为治疗赢时间，后老人被送医。 ②由第二段首句内容“目睹眼前的情景，我突然明白了父亲工作的价值。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：目睹父亲救人后，作者懂了其工作价值，感谢父亲，改变想法，明白不应随意评判工作价值。 2.续写线索：老人摔倒——父亲施救——明白父亲工作的价值——改变想法——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.弄明白：figure out/understand ②.开始：start/begin ③.拯救：save/rescue 情绪类 ①.冷静的：calm/relaxed/sober ②.自豪地：proudly /in pride 【点睛】[高分句型1].
