Some of them are special because of their history or the stories behind them. Here are three famous examples. Mogao Caves The Mogao Caves are near Dunhuang on the old Silk Road. They were built in the 4th century. The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate (冥想). Artists painted colorful pictures on the walls, showing both religious and daily life scenes. In 1907, a Daoist named Wang Yuanlu showed a British researcher a small “library cave” with more than 50,000 documents in multiple languages. Grotto of Massabielle This small cave in Lourdes, France, became famous in 1858. A 14-year-old girl named Bernadette said she saw a goddess in her dreams. She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there, and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick. Later, a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave, and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health. A film about her life, The Song of Bernadette, became an international success, earning actress Jennifer Jones an Oscar. Lascaux Cave In 1940, four boys in France found a cave when their dog ran inside. On the walls, they saw hundreds of paintings and engravings, mostly of animals, such as bulls and horses. Experts believe the drawings were part of religious life, not just for decoration. Too many visitors damaged the paintings, so the cave was closed in 1963. A copy of it, called Lascaux II, was built and opened to visitors in 1983, and it remains popular now. 1. What were the Mogao Caves used for? A. Goods trade. B. Art and research. C. Language study. D. Rest and meditation. 2. What can we learn about the Grotto of Massabelle? A. It was built by Bernadette’s family. B. It was famous for its healing spring. C. It was found by travelers accidentally. D. It was filled with animal paintings inside. 3. Why was the Lascaux Cave closed in 1963? A Its decorations needed updating. B. It was reserved for religious use. C. Too many visitors harmed the art. D. A copy of it became more popular. B Holding my newborn baby, I looked at the nurses rushing around me. Little Lou was born with a heart problem and had surgery when he was just 48 hours old. The medical staff took my breath away with how hard they worked. Learning the special bed my baby lay on cost $55,000, I decided to raise that sum for the hospital. By the time Lou turned six months old, he experienced another critical surgery — an 18-hour marathon where the medical team refused to give up. Their skill and perseverance saved him. Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds. During COVID-19, I took an online painting class. I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions. In my spare time, I’d post my latest work on my newsletter and a buyer would quickly purchase it. I could barely keep up with demand. Every time I sold a painting, I donated money to the Children’s Hospital. Then one day, I was contacted by a woman called Emily, an aerospace engineer who was going to be the 100th woman to go to space. She floated the idea of taking one of my artworks into space. I created a painting for her. It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22, 2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise $21,000. I haven’t reached my $55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou, six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he’s currently thriving (茁壮成长). My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again. 4. Why did the author raise money for the hospital? A. To repay its efforts. B. To upgrade its facilities. C. To fund research on heart problems. D. To improve children’s healthcare. 5. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. What made the author stand out. B. What COVID-19 brought to the author. C. How the author developed her painting skills. D. How the author’s journey to artistic success began. 6. The author detailed the painting in paragraph 3 to highlight ________. A. the painting’s popularity B. their shared determination C. Emily’s space exploration D. Emily’s childhood memory 7. What does the author’s experience show? A. Dreams shape tomorrow. B. Art benefits heart health. C. Many hands make light work. D. Gratitude fuels creative giving. C “Rubbish is immortal,” wrote Czech author Ivan Klima in his novel Love and Garbage. “What else is there that is so indestructible?” And even as we make the world into a greener place by embracing renewable energy, the problem of how to deal with waste remains a difficult one to solve. The thing is, renewable energy tools like wind turbines (涡轮机) do a lot of good, but they also need replacing and recycling when they get old. Many of the parts can be melted down and used again, but this comes at a cost to the environment, because the process produces carbon emissions. Luckily, experts have been working on ways to use these giant turbines again at the end of their lives. Old blades (叶片) have been used as noise barriers next to roads, as bike sheds, and as children’s playground equipment. And some of the stems — or nacelles, as the parts that contain the engines are known have even been used for housing. Last year, a Swedish energy company called Vattenfall and a Dutch firm Blade-Made worked together to create a tiny home made from a decommissioned turbine. Shown during Dutch Design Week in 2024, it’s 4 meters wide, 10 meters long and 3 meters high and according to a television network, it is “surprisingly light and airy” thanks to glass doors at either end. Crucially, it also follows Dutch building rules. But with more and more turbines expected to be replaced in the coming years, could they really help to solve housing crises? Jos de Krieger is a co-founder of Blade-Made, and he said, “Why not?” His company, along with its collaborators, is planning to create 10 tiny homes using turbines. He told the network that making old turbines into homes is, “the most complex thing you can do”, but now it’s been done. Anything is possible. “We-need solutions,” he said, adding that he wanted to “create stories, instead of waste”. Klima would surely approve. 8. What aspect of wind turbines does the passage focus on? A. Their high cost of production. B. Their new uses after retirement. C. Their role in reducing carbon emissions. D. Their contribution to greener housing. 9. How can people deal with old turbine blades? A. By burning them for fuel. B. By using them as road barriers. C. By throwing them away safely. D. Their contribution to greener housing. 10. What does the word ”decommissioned“ in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Out-of-use. B. Up-to-date C. Very expensive. D. Fully repaired. 11. What can we infer from Jos de Krieger’s words? A. He needs to create stories for Blade-Made. B. He does the job to win approval from Klima. C. He has doubts about whether the idea will work. D. He hopes to expand the business in turbine houses. D Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 12. What is an advantage of physical buttons over touchscreens? A. They are cheaper to produce and replace. B. They are easier to see in bright sunlight. C. They can be operated without looking at them. D. They allow control of a wider range of functions. 13. Which took the longest time in the 2022 study? A. The model running at 110 km/h. B. The old model with real buttons. C. The best-performing modern car. D. The worst-performing modern car. 14. How does the author prove his argument in the passage? A. By showing different research results. B. By telling his own driving experience. C. By comparing the actions of car drivers. D. By mentioning the rules of an organization. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Safety features will be smarter. B. Touchscreens will be abandoned. C. Voice control will dominate the market. D. In-car control will innovate continually. 第二节(共五小题，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。 Nature is a quiet but wise teacher — its simple wonders hold important lessons for how we live.

Having just finished my freshman year, I was there because my parents insisted I get a job to improve myself. As soon as I stepped inside, my manager, Ms. Carter, greeted me with a bright smile. “Welcome aboard! Today, we start with the basics, ” she said. I nodded, trying not to show how nervous I was. I spent the first few hours learning the registers, the proper way to handle the fryer, and the Special words for different orders. By the end of the first week, I had learned one important lesson: patience. During the lunch rush, I was thrown into the deep end. Orders came quickly. The line of customers stretched out the door, and my hands shook as I tried to keep up. A customer got angry because I gave him the wrong drink, and I felt my face burn. I wanted to quit. But Ms. Carter pulled me aside. “Mistakes happen. Take a breath, focus, and keep going. You’ll get faster, I promise.” Her confidence in me made me realize I couldn’t give up yet. The next few weeks were full of challenges and small victories. I learned how to work the fryer without burning myself, how to remember orders without writing them down, and how to calm angry customers with a smile. I began to feel like part of a team. Then came my biggest challenge. One Friday evening, right before the dinner rush, our cashier called in sick. Ms. Carter looked around and said, “Leo, you’re up front tonight.” My stomach dropped. The register was fast and complicated, and the line was already forming outside. I wanted to say no, but everyone was counting on me. At first, it was a disaster. I hit the wrong buttons and the line grew restless. For a moment, I thought about running into the kitchen and hiding. But then I remembered Ms. Carter’s words: “Take a breath, focus, and keep going.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and forced myself to slow down. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the shift, I was tired but extremely proud. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025年秋期高二年级期末考试模拟 英语学科 考试范围：选择性必修三 考试时间：120分钟 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。每段听力对话仅读一遍。 1.Where are the speakers?

It was reserved for religious use. C. Too many visitors harmed the art. D. A copy of it became more popular. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了世界上三个著名洞穴（莫高窟、马萨贝尔洞穴、拉斯科洞窟）的地理位置、历史背景及独特之处。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Mogao Caves部分中的“The caves were a shelter for travelers and gave monks a quiet place to meditate (冥想).()”可知，莫高窟是旅行者的休憩之所，也为僧侣提供了冥想的安静空间，即用于休息和冥想。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Grotto of Massabielle部分中的“She guided Bernadette to dig a small hole there, and a spring of water came out. People believed it could cure the sick. Later, a statue of the goddess was placed in the cave, and many visitors came flooding every year to pray for good health.(她指引Bernadette在洞穴里挖了一个小洞，一股泉水随即涌出。人们相信这泉水能治愈疾病。后来，洞穴中安放了一尊女神雕像，每年都有大批游客纷至沓来，祈求身体健康。)”可知，马萨贝尔洞穴因涌出的泉水被认为能治愈疾病而闻名，即它以具有治疗功效的泉水著称。故选B。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章Lascaux Cave部分中的“Too many visitors damaged the paintings, so the cave was closed in 1963.(由于游客过多导致壁画受损，该洞窟于1963年关闭。)”可知，由于过多游客导致洞窟内的绘画受损，所以拉斯科洞窟在1963年关闭。故选C。 B Holding my newborn baby, I looked at the nurses rushing around me.

I created a painting for her. It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up. On November 22, 2024, Emily took my painting to space and helped me raise $21,000. I haven’t reached my $55,000 mark yet but hope to do so soon. Lou, six, will need another heart operation eventually, but he’s currently thriving (茁壮成长). My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again. 4. Why did the author raise money for the hospital? A. To repay its efforts. B.

I’d always been creative and had worked as a visual designer. While I painted, all my worries disappeared. A mushroom I painted came out better than expected, so I kept at it. I wondered if I could start selling my art so I entered a national competition and was astonished to be a finalist. That competition opened many doors. Soon, I was being contacted by galleries to do solo exhibitions.(在新冠疫情期间，我参加了线上绘画课程。我一直都很有创造力，并且曾从事过视觉设计师的工作。在画画的时候，我所有的烦恼都消失了。我画的一朵蘑菇比预期的还要好，于是我就继续坚持下去。我想知道我是否能够开始出售自己的作品，于是参加了全国性的比赛，结果惊讶地成为了决赛选手。那次比赛为我打开了许多机会之门。很快，我就收到了画廊的邀请，要我举办个人展览)”可知，该段主要讲述了作者是如何开始绘画艺术，并一步步走向成功的。故选D。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“It’s about a child in a space suit being lifted by balloons to show Emily’s childhood dream of going to space. The balloons are slightly deflated (泄气的) to show how hard it was but that she never gave up.(这是一个关于穿着太空服的孩子被气球托起的画面，以此来展现艾米莉儿时的梦想——去太空旅行。这些气球略微瘪了下去，以此来表现当时是多么艰难，但她从未放弃)”可知，该段对这幅画的详细描述突出了艾米莉在困难面前不放弃的坚持和决心，也反映了作者自己在经历孩子手术、筹钱这些困难时的坚持和决心。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Though I could never fully express my thanks, I remained determined: I would find a way to raise those funds.(尽管我始终无法充分表达自己的感激之情，但我依然坚定地认为：我一定会找到办法筹集到那些资金)”和最后一段“My art uses different shades to show we all have dark times, but if we keep going, we’ll see light again.(我的艺术作品通过不同的色调来展现，我们每个人都会经历低谷时期，但只要我们坚持不懈，终会迎来光明)”以及文章对作者经历的描写可知，作者的经历表明了对医务人员的感激之情，激发了作者卖画为医院筹钱的创意行为。故选D。 C “Rubbish is immortal,” wrote Czech author Ivan Klima in his novel Love and Garbage. “What else is there that is so indestructible?” And even as we make the world into a greener place by embracing renewable energy, the problem of how to deal with waste remains a difficult one to solve. The thing is, renewable energy tools like wind turbines (涡轮机) do a lot of good, but they also need replacing and recycling when they get old. Many of the parts can be melted down and used again, but this comes at a cost to the environment, because the process produces carbon emissions. Luckily, experts have been working on ways to use these giant turbines again at the end of their lives. Old blades (叶片) have been used as noise barriers next to roads, as bike sheds, and as children’s playground equipment. And some of the stems — or nacelles, as the parts that contain the engines are known have even been used for housing. Last year, a Swedish energy company called Vattenfall and a Dutch firm Blade-Made worked together to create a tiny home made from a decommissioned turbine. Shown during Dutch Design Week in 2024, it’s 4 meters wide, 10 meters long and 3 meters high and according to a television network, it is “surprisingly light and airy” thanks to glass doors at either end. Crucially, it also follows Dutch building rules. But with more and more turbines expected to be replaced in the coming years, could they really help to solve housing crises? Jos de Krieger is a co-founder of Blade-Made, and he said, “Why not?” His company, along with its collaborators, is planning to create 10 tiny homes using turbines. He told the network that making old turbines into homes is, “the most complex thing you can do”, but now it’s been done. Anything is possible. “We-need solutions,” he said, adding that he wanted to “create stories, instead of waste”. Klima would surely approve. 8. What aspect of wind turbines does the passage focus on? A. Their high cost of production. B. Their new uses after retirement. C. Their role in reducing carbon emissions. D. Their contribution to greener housing. 9. How can people deal with old turbine blades? A. By burning them for fuel. B. By using them as road barriers. C. By throwing them away safely. D. Their contribution to greener housing. 10. What does the word ”decommissioned“ in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Out-of-use. B. Up-to-date C. Very expensive. D. Fully repaired. 11. What can we infer from Jos de Krieger’s words? A. He needs to create stories for Blade-Made. B. He does the job to win approval from Klima. C. He has doubts about whether the idea will work. D. He hopes to expand the business in turbine houses. 【答案】8. B 9. B 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了风力涡轮机退役后新的用途，包括被改造成房屋等，还探讨了其解决住房危机的可能性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Luckily, experts have been working on ways to use these giant turbines again at the end of their lives.(幸运的是，专家们一直在研究如何在这些巨型涡轮机寿命结束时再次利用它们)”以及后文介绍旧涡轮机被改造成各种物品，可知，文章聚焦于风力涡轮机退役后的新用途。故选B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Old blades (叶片) have been used as noise barriers next to roads, as bike sheds, and as children’s playground equipment.(旧叶片已被用作道路旁的隔音屏障、自行车棚和儿童游乐场设备)”可知，人们可以用旧涡轮机叶片作为道路屏障。故选B。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“Last year, a Swedish energy company called Vattenfall and a Dutch firm Blade-Made worked together to create a tiny home made from a decommissioned turbine.(去年，瑞典能源公司Vattenfall和荷兰公司Blade-Made合作，用一台decommissioned涡轮机建造了一座小房子)”以及前文提到涡轮机寿命结束会被再次利用，可推测“decommissioned”意思是“不再使用的，退役的”，与“Out-of-use.(不再使用的)”意思相近。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“His company, along with its collaborators, is planning to create 10 tiny homes using turbines.(他的公司及其合作伙伴计划用涡轮机建造10座小房子)”以及“Anything is possible. “We-need solutions,” he said, adding that he wanted to “create stories, instead of waste”.(一切皆有可能。“我们需要解决方案，”他说，并补充说他想“创造故事，而不是浪费”)”可推断出，他希望扩大涡轮机房屋的业务。故选D。 D Do you usually spot the touchscreen first when checking out a new car? For years, almost every new car sold has a high-tech screen that controls everything. Even safety features like automatic lane-keeping are sometimes screen-controlled. But is it really safe? If scrolling down the screen of a smartphone while driving is distracting and then doing likewise with your car’s is probably risky too. Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder. And because screens have to do so many things, it often takes a few steps through several sub-menus to find the right setting. In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons. In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds. Even in the best-performing modern cars, testers still took several seconds longer than in the old car. Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen. Even the quickest job like changing the temperature meant three and a half seconds, on average, of not looking at the road. New rules from Euro NCAP, an organization that provides safety ratings for cars sold in Europe, will give no car a full five-star score unless certain crucial functions are controlled by real switches. Euro NCAP’s safety guidelines have no legal force, but carmakers use its ratings as a selling point. Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story. 12. What is an advantage of physical buttons over touchscreens? A. They are cheaper to produce and replace. B. They are easier to see in bright sunlight. C. They can be operated without looking at them. D. They allow control of a wider range of functions. 13. Which took the longest time in the 2022 study? A. The model running at 110 km/h. B. The old model with real buttons. C. The best-performing modern car. D. The worst-performing modern car. 14. How does the author prove his argument in the passage? A. By showing different research results. B. By telling his own driving experience. C. By comparing the actions of car drivers. D. By mentioning the rules of an organization. 15. What can we learn from the last paragraph? A. Safety features will be smarter. B. Touchscreens will be abandoned. C. Voice control will dominate the market. D. In-car control will innovate continually. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. A 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了汽车中触摸屏与物理按钮的对比，通过研究数据和安全指南表明物理按钮在操作安全性上的优势，并提及汽车内部控制方式将持续创新。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Drivers know the location of physical controls and press buttons without taking their eyes off the road. A touchscreen offers no physical feedback, making the operation much harder.(驾驶员熟悉物理控件的位置，无需移开注视路面的视线即可完成按键操作。而触控屏无法提供实体反馈，使得操作难度显著增加)”可知，与触摸屏相比，实体按钮的优势在于司机无需转移视线即可操作。故选C项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“In the old cars, drivers were able to do all their tasks within about 10 seconds, while the worst-performing modern car took 45 seconds.(在旧款车上，司机能在大约10秒内完成所有任务，而表现最差的现代汽车需要45秒)”可知，2022年的研究中耗时最长的是表现最差的现代汽车。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“In 2022, Vi Bilagare, a Swedish motoring magazine, measured how long it took drivers to do things like changing the temperature while driving at 110 kilometers per hour. It compared 11 cars with touchscreens to a single older model with real buttons.(2022年，瑞典汽车杂志《Vi Bilagare》测量了司机在以每小时110公里的速度行驶时，调节温度等操作所需的时间。该研究将11辆配备触摸屏的汽车与一辆配备实体按钮的旧款车型进行了比较)”和第四段中“Another study, done in 2024 by researchers in Norway, used tracking cameras to compare how long drivers were distracted while performing different tasks on a touchscreen.(2024年，挪威的研究人员进行了另一项研究，他们使用追踪摄像头来比较司机在使用触摸屏执行不同任务时的分心时间)”可知，作者通过引用瑞典和挪威的研究数据，对比触摸屏与实体按钮的操作效率，进而证明实体按钮更安全。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Traditional carmakers have begun restoring some buttons to their new models. But innovation never stops. Even as touchscreens are falling out of favour, many manufacturers are turning their attention to voice control — though that is a subject for another story.(传统汽车制造商已经开始在新车型中恢复一些按钮。但创新从未停止。尽管触摸屏逐渐失宠，但许多制造商已将注意力转向语音控制——不过这是另一个话题了)”可知，汽车内部控制方式正经历从触摸屏到语音控制的持续创新。故选D项。 第二节(共五小题，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。 Nature is a quiet but wise teacher — its simple wonders hold important lessons for how we live.

Having just finished my freshman year, I was there because my parents insisted I get a job to improve myself. As soon as I stepped inside, my manager, Ms. Carter, greeted me with a bright smile. “Welcome aboard! Today, we start with the basics, ” she said. I nodded, trying not to show how nervous I was. I spent the first few hours learning the registers, the proper way to handle the fryer, and the Special words for different orders. By the end of the first week, I had learned one important lesson: patience. During the lunch rush, I was thrown into the deep end. Orders came quickly. The line of customers stretched out the door, and my hands shook as I tried to keep up. A customer got angry because I gave him the wrong drink, and I felt my face burn. I wanted to quit. But Ms. Carter pulled me aside. “Mistakes happen. Take a breath, focus, and keep going. You’ll get faster, I promise.” Her confidence in me made me realize I couldn’t give up yet. The next few weeks were full of challenges and small victories. I learned how to work the fryer without burning myself, how to remember orders without writing them down, and how to calm angry customers with a smile. I began to feel like part of a team. Then came my biggest challenge. One Friday evening, right before the dinner rush, our cashier called in sick. Ms. Carter looked around and said, “Leo, you’re up front tonight.” My stomach dropped. The register was fast and complicated, and the line was already forming outside. I wanted to say no, but everyone was counting on me. At first, it was a disaster. I hit the wrong buttons and the line grew restless. For a moment, I thought about running into the kitchen and hiding. But then I remembered Ms. Carter’s words: “Take a breath, focus, and keep going.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 I took a deep breath and forced myself to slow down. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the shift, I was tired but extremely proud. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I took a deep breath and forced myself to slow down. I told myself that what mattered most was not speed, but doing it right. I focused on one order at a time, smiled at each customer, and double-checked every button. Slowly, the line began to move again. One man even said, “You’re doing great!” — words that gave me courage. It was amazing how a little support could make such a big difference, and I realized I wasn’t alone in this. By the end of the shift, I was tired but extremely proud. Ms. Carter came over and said, “I knew you could do it.” Her words made me smile. I had started the summer thinking this job was just something my parents wanted, but now I saw it as a chance to grow. I now know that when things get hard, the best thing is to keep going, because that’s how we become stronger. This job taught me patience, confidence, and the value of never giving up. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者暑假到快餐店打工，从最初紧张不安，在经理鼓励下逐渐适应工作，后因收银员请假被推上收银岗位，一开始手忙脚乱，想起经理的话后努力调整的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我深吸一口气，强迫自己慢下来。”可知，第一段可描写作者深呼吸后冷静下来，告诉自己正确比速度更重要，专注处理订单，得到顾客鼓励，意识到自己并非独自面对困难。 ②由第二段首句内容“下班时，我很累，但非常自豪。”可知，第二段可描写经理对作者表示肯定，作者感悟到这份工作让自己成长，明白了面对困难要坚持才能变得更强，懂得了耐心、自信和永不放弃的价值。 2.续写线索：深呼吸冷静——专注处理订单——获顾客鼓励——经理肯定——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①专注：focused on/concentrated on ②鼓励：give sb. courage /encourage sb. /cheer sb. on ③教会：teach /instruct/impart 情绪类 ①令人吃惊的：amazing/astonishing ②自信：confidence/assurance 【点睛】【高分句型1】I told myself that what mattered most was not speed, but doing it right.
