阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
When young people attend college or university, they will often be living away from home for the first time. This can also be a concern for parents when their children are not living under the same roof. Luckily, there are many people and resources dedicated to keeping students safe.

In a bright cafe just off Leith Walk in Edinburgh, a group of young people gather around a table covered with fabric pieces, small decorations and crochet (钩针) tools. Each session brings a new theme: one week it’s crochet, the next jewellery-making, the week after that they learn latte-art. Coffees are enjoyed, biscuits are passed around and laughter fills the room.
This is the Girls Craft Club, founded earlier this year by art history graduate Gabby after a medical finding of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (注意力缺陷多动障碍) left her feeling disconnected. “We were all going through life problems,” she says. “We decided to make something beautiful out of it. When you make your own bag or repair your clothes, you value them differently. And you value yourself differently, too.”
What may seem like pure longing for the past is, in fact, part of a wider cultural shift. Across the UK, Generation Z is taking up hobbies once more associated with their grandparents or great grandparents: crochet and jewellery-making, pottery cafes and baking clubs that echo Come Dine With Me. These “slow” pastimes are taking off, not because they are an old trend being brought back, but because they offer something people feel is urgently missing: connection, purpose and relief from digital burnout.
This return to offline hobbies is happening against a difficult national backdrop. Britain’s teenagers are among the unhappiest in Europe. In its Good Childhood report last year, the Children’s Society warned of a youth happiness decline, with just over 25% of 15-year-olds in the UK reporting low life satisfaction, compared with 7% in the Netherlands.
For Gabby, these hobbies have become a lifeline. “As life speeds up, we need to actively decide to slow down,” she says.
During crafting and conversation Britain’s young people are building something important: connection.
4. Why did Gabby start the Girls Craft Club?
A. To practise creative skills in groups. B. To hold weekly themed craft sessions.
C. To develop self-worth through crafting. D. To seek medical treatment for an illness.
5. What makes “slow” hobbies popular in the UK?
A. A longing for the past. B. A relief from digital stress.
C. A pursuit of personal growth. D. A hope for cultural diversity.
6. How does the author use the Good Childhood report to support the text?
A By providing related statistics. B. By offering a simple solution.
C. By expressing a personal view. D. By comparing some countries.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A Crafts Rejuvenation: Hobbies Connect Gen Z B. Offline Hobbies: Gen Z Escape the Old Trends
C. Youth Cultural Exchange: A National Concern D. Crafting Communities: The Value of Innovation
C
For several years now, the countryside has no longer functioned merely as a picturesque counterpoint (对应物) to the city but has become an active laboratory for new relationships between landscape and people. Trace of Land, designed by ELSE Design Studio, is one of the examples.
ELSE reinterprets the hay bale (干草捆) as a spatial installation (装置) that unfolds across the fields of Val Badia in the Italian Dolomites. Presented as part of the international open-air art event — SMACH 2025, the project transforms an agricultural object into a canopy-like (类顶棚的) structure that follows the landscape, offering places for shade, rest, and gathering.
The land art installation is a continuous path made of unfolded hay bales. It moves with the outline of the Alpine landscape. Removed from its functional role in farming, the hay bale becomes both sculptural and architectural, drawing attention to the relationship between human labor, tools, and the land.
Often seen as typical parts of farm life, hay bales are in fact products of industrialized processes, stored and transported by machinery. In Trace of Land, this industrial form is loosened and reshaped, creating a structure that switches between lying on the ground and lifting lightly to form shaded passages. The result is a temporary canopy that strikes a balance between agricultural efficiency and natural setting. In line with this year’s SMACH theme, hay bales represent the reciprocal relationship between human and the land, enhancing the dialogue between people and the environment.
Visitors are invited to walk along and beneath the structure, using box-shaped bales arranged as seating to pause and reflect. As time passes, the hay will naturally break down, returning to the soil and completing a cycle of use and renewal.
8. What role does ELSE give to the hay bale?
A. A farming tool. B. A storage device. C. A cultural platform. D. A relaxation zone.
9. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Formal. B. Casual. C. Mutual. D. Distant.
10. Which can best describe the installation based on the last paragraph?
A. Natural and traditional. B. Sustainable and eco-friendly.
C. Advanced and modern. D. Intelligent and energy-efficient.
11. Which column of a website might the text be taken from?
A. Reimaging the Countryside. B. Advocating Farming Techniques.
C. Redesigning Urban Landscape. D. Conversing with Agriculturalists.
D
Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty.
Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.
The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.”
Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.
Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”
12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon-feeding?
A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts.
C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity.
13. Which might be a “moment of unease”?
A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds.
B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill.
C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition.
D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field.
14. What can make leaders fail according to the author?
A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience.
C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts.
15. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A. Intuition types and brain functions. B. Initial doubts and competing goals.
C. Brain systems and connection forms. D. Scientific theories and workable tips.

I didn’t start by falling in love with programming. I hated it, actually. During my tech studies, I ____21____ struggled. I couldn’t solve problems. The logic didn’t ____22____. I felt lost. So I ____23____: “This isn’t for me. I don’t have talent for this.”
If the story had ended there, I probably would have ____24____ forever. But it didn’t, for a ____25____ reason: I had already invested years in tech studies, and software development was (and still is) a ____26____ field. So I gave it another ____27____, partly out of pragmatism (实用主义).

My story isn’t unique. It’s just evidence of a simple truth: You don’t need to start with ____34____. Start with pragmatism, build small ____35____ and competencies; enjoyment will follow. Then, you’re not waiting for talent — you’ve actively built it.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Luckily, the end of the school day had finally arrived. When Mrs. Periwinkle stopped Ricardo and reminded him to see the ballet the next day, he forced a smile as he walked quickly past her and into the hallway. The truth was, he was much more excited about the coming soccer match which had occupied his mind for several days.
Little did he know that this experience would change his life forever! It was in the Opera House that Ricardo realized how strong, athletic, powerful and graceful the ballet stars were — just like skillful soccer players in a big game. He watched, amazed. He then decided that he wanted to learn more about ballet. But he definitely did not want to share his plans with his friends, at least not yet — there weren’t many boys who took ballet. What if his friends made fun of him?
Over the next few months, Ricardo took several lessons without telling anyone. Playing soccer had made him strong. His strength helped him perform difficult steps and master complex dance skills like grand jetés (大跳) and pirouettes (旋转). The better he got at it, the more he knew he wanted to dance. And Ricardo realized he couldn’t keep his dancing a secret from his friends for much longer. He just hoped that they would somehow understand.
One summer afternoon, Ricardo was wandering through the city zoo with his best friend, Zach. When they had arrived at the crocodile (鳄鱼) pond, Ricardo took a deep breath and got ready to pour out his heart to Zach. Just then, he noticed a baby girl climbing up onto a teeter-totter (跷跷板). From out of nowhere came a wildly running boy, who suddenly jumped onto the raised end of the teeter-totter, not even noticing the baby! As he jumped, the baby on the other end was sent flying through the air, straight toward the pond.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
At that moment of emergency, Ricardo’s ballet training was put to the test.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
People all around clapped and cheered, “Hero! Hero!”

For several years now, the countryside has no longer functioned merely as a picturesque counterpoint (对应物) to the city but has become an active laboratory for new relationships between landscape and people. Trace of Land, designed by ELSE Design Studio, is one of the examples.
ELSE reinterprets the hay bale (干草捆) as a spatial installation (装置) that unfolds across the fields of Val Badia in the Italian Dolomites. Presented as part of the international open-air art event — SMACH 2025, the project transforms an agricultural object into a canopy-like (类顶棚的) structure that follows the landscape, offering places for shade, rest, and gathering.
The land art installation is a continuous path made of unfolded hay bales. It moves with the outline of the Alpine landscape. Removed from its functional role in farming, the hay bale becomes both sculptural and architectural, drawing attention to the relationship between human labor, tools, and the land.
Often seen as typical parts of farm life, hay bales are in fact products of industrialized processes, stored and transported by machinery. In Trace of Land, this industrial form is loosened and reshaped, creating a structure that switches between lying on the ground and lifting lightly to form shaded passages. The result is a temporary canopy that strikes a balance between agricultural efficiency and natural setting. In line with this year’s SMACH theme, hay bales represent the reciprocal relationship between human and the land, enhancing the dialogue between people and the environment.
Visitors are invited to walk along and beneath the structure, using box-shaped bales arranged as seating to pause and reflect. As time passes, the hay will naturally break down, returning to the soil and completing a cycle of use and renewal.
8. What role does ELSE give to the hay bale?
A. A farming tool. B. A storage device. C. A cultural platform. D. A relaxation zone.
9. What does the underlined word “reciprocal” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Formal. B. Casual. C. Mutual. D. Distant.
10. Which can best describe the installation based on the last paragraph?
A. Natural and traditional. B. Sustainable and eco-friendly.
C. Advanced and modern. D. Intelligent and energy-efficient.
11. Which column of a website might the text be taken from?
A. Reimaging the Countryside. B. Advocating Farming Techniques.
C. Redesigning Urban Landscape. D. Conversing with Agriculturalists.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍 ELSE 设计工作室的大地艺术《大地踪迹》,将干草捆改造成乡村休憩装置,体现人与自然的共生,兼具可持续性与环保理念。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Presented as part of the international open-air art event — SMACH 2025, the project transforms an agricultural object into a canopy-like (类顶棚的) structure that follows the landscape, offering places for shade, rest, and gathering.(作为国际露天艺术活动“SMACH 2025”的一部分,该项目将一个农业设施改造成了一个与地形相契合的类似伞盖的结构,为人们提供了遮阳、休憩和聚会的场所)”可知,干草捆被打造成休闲区域。故选D。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“The result is a temporary canopy that strikes a balance between agricultural efficiency and natural setting.(其结果是一个临时的遮蔽顶篷,既体现了农业的高效性,又与自然环境相融合)”以及后文“relationship between human and the land, enhancing the dialogue between people and the environment(人类与土地之间的相互关系,加强了人与环境之间的交流)”可知,干草捆体现了人与土地的相互、互惠关系,故划线词意思是“相互的”。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Visitors are invited to walk along and beneath the structure, using box-shaped bales arranged as seating to pause and reflect. As time passes, the hay will naturally break down, returning to the soil and completing a cycle of use and renewal.(欢迎游客们沿着这座建筑漫步,甚至可以置身其下方。他们可以坐在由方形草捆排列而成的座位上稍作停留,进行思考和感悟。随着时间的推移,这些干草会自然分解,回归土壤,从而完成使用与更新的循环过程)”可知,这个安装工程的特点是可持续且环保的。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“For several years now, the countryside has no longer functioned merely as a picturesque counterpoint (对应物) to the city but has become an active laboratory for new relationships between landscape and people. Trace of Land, designed by ELSE Design Studio, is one of the examples.(近年来,乡村不再仅仅作为城市的一道美丽风景线而存在,而是成为了探讨人与自然环境之间新关系的活跃实验场。由ELSE设计工作室设计的“土地痕迹”就是其中的一个范例)”以及文章开篇点明乡村不再只是城市的风景对应物,而是景观与人新型关系的试验场,后文围绕乡村大地艺术装置展开,可知,文章可能出自该网站的《重塑乡村》栏目。故选A。
D
Most of us were raised to think that smart people always know the right answers. From gold stars in school to performance reviews in the office, we’re rewarded for certainty.
Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.
The hardest problems we face in life, whether in careers, relationships, or society, rarely come with single right answers. They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty. The old playbook of being a “right-answer getter” not only fails here, but backfires. As Parmar explains, “We often treat complex problems like simple ones until we are faced with the reality.”
Our personal and professional environments are more uncertain than ever. Technology evolves faster than regulation, workplaces are more diverse, and social standards are shifting. I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.
Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”
12. What is implied by mentioning the spoon-feeding?
A. Certainty might ruin decision-making. B. Average people can learn few facts.
C. Smart habits secure positive outcomes. D. Simple tools secretly boost creativity.
13. Which might be a “moment of unease”?
A. Profiting from stable investments with spare funds.
B. Trying to find a job overseas when a parent falls ill.
C. Treating difficult problems with one’s first intuition.
D. Continuing to develop in one’s familiar research field.
14. What can make leaders fail according to the author?
A. Shifting standards. B. Lacking experience.
C. Ignoring principles. D. Overlooking doubts.
15. What is mainly talked about in the last paragraph?
A. Intuition types and brain functions. B. Initial doubts and competing goals.
C. Brain systems and connection forms. D. Scientific theories and workable tips.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇议论文。主要阐述了人们常被教导追求确定答案,但这会阻碍明智决策。复杂问题无唯一解,过度追求确定性易适得其反。应善用大脑的审慎系统,拥抱怀疑,以学习心态应对不确定性。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Yet as Bidhan Parmar, professor at the UVA Darden School of Business, argues in his new book, Radical Doubt, “Certainty somehow blinds us. The only thing that spoon-feeding teaches us is the shape of a spoon”. His point is unsettling: The very habits we rely on to feel smart — rushing toward the final goals, simplifying complex problems, sugar-coating our initial reactions — are the ones that keep us from making wise choices.(然而,正如弗吉尼亚大学达顿商学院的布迪安·帕尔马尔教授在其新书《激进的怀疑》中所指出的那样:“确定性会让我们变得盲目。一味地灌输所教会我们的,不过是勺子的形状而已”。他的观点令人不安:我们赖以自认为聪明的那些习惯——急于追求最终目标、简化复杂问题、美化最初的反应——恰恰是那些阻碍我们做出明智选择的习惯)”可知,提到“填鸭式教育”所隐含的意思是过分的确定性可能会破坏决策过程。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“They’re what Parmar calls “moments of unease”: multi-criteria choices that involve competing goals, high risks, and deep uncertainty.(这就是帕尔玛所说的“不安时刻”:这类决策涉及多重标准,包含相互冲突的目标、巨大的风险以及极大的不确定性)”可知,“不安时刻”涉及多重标准,包含相互冲突的目标、巨大的风险以及极大的不确定性。B选项“当父母生病时,却试图去国外找工作”符合“不安时刻”的描述。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“I’ve watched firsthand that seasoned leaders ignore warning signs because they were addicted to “feeling right.” They simplified the situation when they should have paused or explored, and missed the opportunity that doubt was pointing them toward.(我亲眼目睹过一些经验丰富的领导者会忽视那些警示信号,因为他们过于执着于“感觉是对的”这种想法。他们本应停下来或深入探究,却选择了简化问题,从而错失了那些由怀疑所指向的机遇)”可知,导致领导者失败的原因是忽视疑虑。故选D。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Our brains run on interconnected systems: the Pursue system (seek rewards), the Protect system (avoid threats), and the Pause-and-Piece-Together system (engage doubt and reframe). Prior evidence-based studies report that most of us let the first two dominate, charging ahead or withdrawing in fear. Grounded in behavioral science, the wiser move is to take enough time to notice complexity, question assumptions, and treat our intuition (直觉) not as the only decision but as an alternative. In practice, this means holding competing goals side by side, and learning to say not “I know,” but “I’m learning.”(我们大脑由相互关联的系统构成:追求系统(寻求奖励)、保护系统(避免威胁)以及暂停并整合系统(质疑并重新审视)。以往基于实证的研究表明,我们大多数人往往让前两个系统占据主导地位,要么勇往直前,要么因恐惧而退缩。从行为科学的角度来看,更明智的做法是花足够的时间去留意复杂性、质疑假设,并将我们的直觉(直觉)视为一种可供选择的决策方式,而非唯一的决定依据。实际上,这意味着要同时兼顾相互冲突的目标,并学会说“我正在学习”,而非“我知道”)”可知,最后一段主要谈论了科学理论与实用建议。故选D。

【导语】本文是记叙文,讲述了英国环保人士汤森德2009年赴京工作后,因对鸟类的热爱创办“北京自然”网站,致力于宣传北京城市生物多样性的故事。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他对鸟类的热爱促使他创办了“北京自然”网站(https://wildbeijing.org),该网站致力于赞颂这座首都城市的野生动物,并让更多人与自然建立联系。固定搭配lead sb. to do sth.表示“促使某人做某事”,后接动词不定式作宾语补足语。故填to establish。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意:他对鸟类的热爱促使他创办了“北京自然”网站(https://wildbeijing.org),该网站致力于赞颂这座首都城市的野生动物,并让更多人与自然建立联系。此处“celebrating the capital city’s wildlife”与“connecting more people to nature”为并列关系,用连词and连接。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:该网站最初是作为观鸟博客,后来逐渐成为对城市生物多样性的颂歌。此处为非谓语动词作状语,serve与逻辑主语the website之间是主动关系,用现在分词形式。故填serving。
【39题详解】
考查名词。句意:例如,北京雨燕在这座城市古老的庭院和城门处筑巢。courtyard为可数名词,结合and后的gateways(复数)可知,此处表多个古老庭院,用复数形式courtyards。故填courtyards。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:最近的追踪研究显示,它们一路飞往非洲南部再返回,这段旅程全程不降落——这意味着这些鸟类在数月的飞行中进食、饮水和休息。结合后文“meaning the birds eat, drink and sleep while flying”可知,旅程没有降落,用介词without表“没有”。故填without。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:在北京颐和园筑巢的雨燕可能会在博茨瓦纳过冬。此处引导定语从句,先行词是The swifts,指物,从句中作主语,用关系代词that/which。故填that/which。
【42题详解】
考查代词。句意:如果我们能为更多物种做到这一点,想象一下北京人与在非洲接待这些雨燕的社区相遇;这将建立起一种强烈的共同责任感。此处修饰名词swifts,用形容词性物主代词their。故填their。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:受到当地组织的兴起和年轻人参与的鼓舞,汤森德很高兴许多年轻人开始对环保产生热情。此处为非谓语动词作状语,encourage与主语Townshend之间是被动关系(被鼓舞),用过去分词形式,句首首字母大写。故填Encouraged。
【44题详解】
考查形容词。句意:受到当地组织的兴起和年轻人参与的鼓舞,汤森德很高兴许多年轻人开始对环保产生热情。此处作系动词become的表语,用形容词形式;enthusiasm的形容词为enthusiastic,表示“热情的”。故填enthusiastic。
【45题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:到目前为止,北京凭借其壮观的迁徙景象,已经成为向世界传授共同生态责任的完美之地。根据时间状语So far可知,用现在完成时;主语Beijing为单数,谓语动词用第三人称单数形式。故填has been。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Luckily, the end of the school day had finally arrived. When Mrs. Periwinkle stopped Ricardo and reminded him to see the ballet the next day, he forced a smile as he walked quickly past her and into the hallway. The truth was, he was much more excited about the coming soccer match which had occupied his mind for several days.
Little did he know that this experience would change his life forever! It was in the Opera House that Ricardo realized how strong, athletic, powerful and graceful the ballet stars were — just like skillful soccer players in a big game. He watched, amazed. He then decided that he wanted to learn more about ballet. But he definitely did not want to share his plans with his friends, at least not yet — there weren’t many boys who took ballet. What if his friends made fun of him?
Over the next few months, Ricardo took several lessons without telling anyone. Playing soccer had made him strong. His strength helped him perform difficult steps and master complex dance skills like grand jetés (大跳) and pirouettes (旋转). The better he got at it, the more he knew he wanted to dance. And Ricardo realized he couldn’t keep his dancing a secret from his friends for much longer. He just hoped that they would somehow understand.
One summer afternoon, Ricardo was wandering through the city zoo with his best friend, Zach. When they had arrived at the crocodile (鳄鱼) pond, Ricardo took a deep breath and got ready to pour out his heart to Zach. Just then, he noticed a baby girl climbing up onto a teeter-totter (跷跷板). From out of nowhere came a wildly running boy, who suddenly jumped onto the raised end of the teeter-totter, not even noticing the baby! As he jumped, the baby on the other end was sent flying through the air, straight toward the pond.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

At that moment of emergency, Ricardo’s ballet training was put to the test.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
People all around clapped and cheered, “Hero! Hero!”
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
At that moment of emergency, Ricardo’s ballet training was put to the test. Without hesitation, he sprang into action, performing a perfect grand jeté. He soared through the air, reaching the baby girl just in time. With a gentle pirouette, he safely landed on the ground, holding the baby tightly in his arms. His quick thinking and excellent control, honed by his ballet training, had saved the day.
People all around clapped and cheered, “Hero! Hero!” Zach looked at Ricardo in disbelief and then with pride. “Ricardo, that was amazing! I had no idea you were such a great dancer.” Ricardo blushed, “I’ve been taking ballet lessons secretly. I was afraid you guys would laugh at me.” Zach put his arm around Ricardo, “Are you kidding? That was the most heroic thing I’ve ever seen. Ballet has made you so capable. We should be proud of you.” From that day on, Ricardo no longer hid his love for ballet, and his friends supported him wholeheartedly.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了 Ricardo 原本对足球比赛更感兴趣,但在观看芭蕾舞表演后被深深吸引,开始秘密学习芭蕾舞。在和朋友 Zach 逛动物园时,遇到一个小女孩即将掉进鳄鱼池的紧急情况。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“在那紧急时刻,Ricardo的芭蕾训练受到了考验。”可知,第一段可要续写 Ricardo 如何运用芭蕾舞技能去救小女孩。
②由第二段首句内容“周围的人都鼓掌欢呼:“英雄!英雄!””可知,第二段要续写周围人的反应以及 Ricardo 和朋友的互动,Ricardo 不再隐瞒对芭蕾的热爱,众人欢呼,朋友理解并支持 Ricardo。
2.续写线索:危险发生——Ricardo运用芭蕾技能救小女孩——众人欢呼——朋友理解支持 Ricardo
3.词汇激活
行为类
①支持:support/back
②到达:reach /arrive at
③紧紧抱住:hold tightly /embrace tightly
