The main draw is its programme of spoken-word performances, most of which take place in its 100-seat basement theatre. The storytelling doesn’t just happen on stage, though. The ground floor has a large, airy room used for exhibitions, workshops and open-mic events, as well as a monthly story session for one-to three-year-olds. The centre will also host the Scottish Storytelling Festival (18-31 October). The other highlight of the Scottish Storytelling Centre is Knox House. You’ll find tricks and traps throughout designed to fool visitors, so watch out. Getting there? The centre is in the middle of Edinburgh’s Old Town, at the eastern end of the Royal Mile. It’s a five-minute walk from Waverley railway station. Driving in the city centre is to be avoided; the nearest bus stops are on the High Street and North Bridge. Value for money? Reasonable. Entry to the ground-floor space is free, although all the theatre performances are ticketed. Prices for shows vary, £12 for adults and £8 for children, family £38 (two adults and two children) or £25 (one adult and three children). Café Voices, the centre’s monthly storytelling night, is £5 each. Opening hours 10 am — 6 pm Monday — Saturday; Sunday (July and August only). Last entry: 5:30 pm. Additional Information The Centre is wheelchair accessible with lift access to all floors, and hearing loops (助听设备) in Reception and the Theatre. 1.

B Louisa May Alcott a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later. Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual. Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures. She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages. Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) , alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same. Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature. 4. What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate. 5. Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau? A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club. C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career. C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches. 7. What can we infer about Louisa from the text? A She valued women’s rights. B. Little Men was her first work. C. Her mother was a philosopher. D. She lived in Pennsylvania all her life. C With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects? As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future — that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there. Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being. High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight. Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air. 8. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles? A. To reinvent the way we travel. B. To cut the costs of car production. C. To improve the quality of products. D. To pursue sustainable development. 9. What do we know about the electric car? A. It came into use a century ago. B. It enjoys increasing popularity. C. It sells better than the traditional one. D. It costs less than the gas-powered one. 10. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A. To show the disadvantages of battery power. B. To emphasize the significance of short flights. C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes. D. To state the developments of commercial flight. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Green transportation is on its way. B. The electric train is running regularly. C. The gas-powered train has become the past. D. Train transportation has seen remarkable improvement. D In the future, we may be doing a job that doesn’t even exist yet now. The requirements, levels and styles of all kinds of work are being updated very fast, which means we need to understand how we can make ourselves qualified for future roles that may appear. There’s no way to tell exactly what skills will be needed, and which ones will become unnecessary. However, based on current observations and patterns of how artificial intelligence (AI) and robots work, we have some basic ideas about how we can prepare for the future. According to a report, human cognitive (认知的) and interpersonal skills will be very important requirements in future workplaces, even with the rise of AI. One thing we need to understand is that it is humans that will manage and control machines. Future workers will need new skills to work with machines. The most important strengths that humans will need to develop is the ability to be a lifelong learner. Lifelong learning enables an individual to learn anywhere and anytime. Lifelong learning isn’t just about digital or AI skill. It’s about having a mindset that allows the brain to be open and receptive at any given time and place. The style of work changes over time, so do styles of learning. Different people learn in different ways. Traditional classroom or online platforms might not be the most useful approaches in the future. Since information is everywhere, it takes an open mindset to be always ready to effectively absorb, evaluate (评价) and make sense of the information that is so easily accessible wherever we are. At the same time, adaptability can be a challenge for employees who are used to the traditional way of doing things. However, a lifelong learning mindset can help change this. Moreover, lifelong learning increases employ ability. Amazon says lifelong learning will help its employees use new technologies. And many Amazon employees say it’ll open new opportunities for them to grow and change into new roles. 12. What does the author say about future jobs? A. They might come in unexpected forms. B. They are for people of high intelligence. C. They will be mainly performed by robots. D. They need employees to take on many roles. 13. Which will be the most significant skill in future workplaces? A. Having a different mindset. B. The ability to keep learning. C. Having the knowledge of AI. D. The ability to control machines. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The shortage of digital skills. B. The loss of new opportunities. C. The traditional way of doing things. D. The employee’s lack of adaptability. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. It Is Never Too Late to Learn B. It Is Difficult to Be a Lifelong Learner C. Lifelong Learning Is the Future of Work D. Lifelong Learning Will Help People Create New Jobs 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。 Do you feel lost, upset, or stressed out?

To me, they mean growth under the care of others. I learned this the hard way. I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever there were some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. Things would go on like that but for a sports meet. By mistake, my name was put on the list of the women’s 1,500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late. My deskmate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three events already.” Other girls of the class said the same. I was dumbfounded (目瞪口呆), 1,500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare (噩梦) I’d ever have! You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet, they said. My deskmate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will train together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too,I said to myself. But still, 1,500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. Every afternoon after class, my deskmate ran beside me. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if to run beside me. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。 With the shot of the starting gun, I rushed out and ran as fast as I could. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度第一学期期末质量监测 高二英语 （考试时间：150分钟 试卷满分：150分） 注意事项： 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号等填写在答题卡指定位置上。 2.回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，将试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

The ground floor has a large, airy room used for exhibitions, workshops and open-mic events, as well as a monthly story session for one-to three-year-olds.(其核心亮点当属现场口头表演项目，多数演出在该中心地下那座可容纳百人的剧场内上演。不过，讲故事的活动并不局限于舞台之上——一楼设有宽敞通透的多功能厅，用于举办展览、工作坊、开放麦活动，以及每月为1至3岁幼儿开设的故事时光。)”可知，游客在苏格兰讲故事中心可以体验现场故事艺术。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Café Voices, the centre’s monthly storytelling night, is £5 each.(中心每月举办的‘咖啡馆之声’故事夜活动票价为每人5英镑。)”可知，一对带着两个孩子的夫妇要花的钱是£5×4，等于20英镑，故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“The Centre is wheelchair accessible with lift access to all floors, and hearing loops (助听设备) in Reception and the Theatre.(中心全楼层配备无障碍通道与电梯，接待处及剧场内设有助听设备（hearing loops），为残障人士提供便利。)”可知，该中心是残疾人友好型的。故选A。 B Louisa May Alcott a leading American writer of the 19th century, used writing both as a means of escape and a way to chronicle the world around her — she would write down details of her family’s daily life, like her sisters’ laughter over morning meals or her father’s late-night discussions with friends, and integrate these moments into her stories later. Born on November 29, 1832, in Germantown, Pennsylvania, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up in Boston and Concord, Massachusetts, Louisa was primarily educated by her father and received additional lessons from the well-known writer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson and the influential philosopher and naturalist Henry David Thoreau. Both men, along with her father, were part of the Transcendental Club, a group that emphasized self-reliance and the power of the individual. Despite this rich intellectual environment, the Alcott family faced continuing financial difficulties. Determined to help, Louisa worked various jobs as a young woman, including as a teacher and domestic helper. For Louisa, writing became her creative outlet and an escape from these pressures. She began her literary career by publishing Flower Fables at the age of 22. Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy. The book is semi-autobiographical, drawing heavily from Louisa’s own childhood and young adulthood. The central character, Jo March, mirrors Louisa herself as an independent thinker and writer. The novel’s extraordinary popularity has led to translations into more than 50 languages. Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886) , alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s. Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same. Louisa May Alcott died on March 6, 1888. Through her timeless body of work, particularly Little Women, she has left an incredible mark on American literature. 4. What does the underlined word “chronicle” in the first paragraph probably mean? A. Imagine. B. Judge. C. Record. D. Decorate. 5. Why does the author mention Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry David Thoreau? A. To list famous 19th-century writers. B. To recommend the Transcendental Club. C. To explain Louisa’s father’s social circle. D. To introduce Louisa’s educational background. 6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A Louisa’s family life. B. Louisa’s literary career. C. The success of Little Women. D. The influence of Hospital Sketches. 7. What can we infer about Louisa from the text? A. She valued women’s rights. B. Little Men was her first work. C. Her mother was a philosopher. D. She lived in Pennsylvania all her life. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7.

Several years later, Hospital Sketches, based on letters she wrote to her family while she was serving as a nurse during the Civil War, brought her wider positive recognition. However, it was the publication of Little Women that secured her lasting literary fame. Originally released in two volumes in 1868 and 1869, this coming-of-age novel follows the lives of the four March sisters — Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy.

Louisa continued the story of the March family with Little Men (1871) and Jo’s Boys (1886), alongside numerous other novels and children’s stories throughout the 1870s and 1880s.(她22岁时出版了《花寓言》，开启了自己的文学生涯。数年后，《医院速写》为她赢得了更广泛的积极认可，这部作品基于她内战期间担任护士时写给家人的信件。然而，正是《小妇人》的出版为她奠定了持久的文学声誉。这部成长小说最初于1868年和1869年分两卷出版，讲述了马奇家四姐妹——梅格、乔、贝丝和艾米的生活。该书是半自传体的，大量取材于路易莎自己的童年和青年时期。主角乔·马奇是路易莎本人的写照，她是一位独立的思想家和作家。这部小说极受欢迎，已被翻译成50多种语言。19世纪70年代至80年代期间，路易莎继续创作马奇家的故事，推出了《小绅士》（1871年）和《乔的男孩们》（1886年），同时还创作了许多其他小说和儿童故事。)”可知，该段完整梳理了路易莎从开启文学生涯、早期作品崭露头角，到代表作《小妇人》奠定声誉，再到后续持续创作的全过程，核心围绕其文学事业的发展展开。故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Following a Massachusetts law in 1879 that allowed women to vote in local elections, she became the first woman to register to vote in Concord and actively encouraged other women to do the same.(1879年，马萨诸塞州通过了一项允许女性在地方选举中投票的法律，之后她成为康科德首位登记投票的女性，并积极鼓励其他女性也这样做。)”可知，路易莎积极参与女性投票权相关活动，鼓励女性行使权利，由此可推断她重视女性权利。故选A项。 C With nearly a quarter of global greenhouse gas coming from all types of transportation, can we keep ourselves off gas-powered vehicles to avoid the worst effects? As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future — that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there. Cars and trucks are undergoing their greatest improvement since the automobile’s existence more than a century ago. Almost overnight, the era of the electric car has arrived. Electricity has the advantage that it works without smell and with less noise. Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. The price is about $10,000 above the gas-powered one, but Ford says the electric model will cost much less to maintain. Everything creating a green revolution on the ground is of limited help in the sky for the time being. High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight. Our planet’s health depends on zeroing out carbon dioxide emissions by 2050, and yet, by the timetable needed to address the climate challenge, the shift away from gas-powered vehicles remains far too slow. Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air. 8. Why are many companies switching to electricity-powered vehicles? A. To reinvent the way we travel. B. To cut the costs of car production. C. To improve the quality of products. D. To pursue sustainable development. 9. What do we know about the electric car? A. It came into use a century ago. B. It enjoys increasing popularity. C. It sells better than the traditional one. D. It costs less than the gas-powered one. 10. What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3? A. To show the disadvantages of battery power. B. To emphasize the significance of short flights. C. To stress the future prospects of electric planes. D. To state the developments of commercial flight. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Green transportation is on its way. B. The electric train is running regularly. C. The gas-powered train has become the past. D. Train transportation has seen remarkable improvement. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了交通运输业为应对气候变化而向电动化转型的趋势，介绍了电动汽车的快速发展现状及电动飞机面临的技术挑战与前景，并指出尽管转型速度仍需加快，但绿色交通的未来已势不可挡。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“As more governments push for urgent action on climate change, quite a few companies are betting their future — that millions of consumers are finally ready for electricity-powered vehicles. Modern battery-powered cars are selling fast and zero-emission planes are coming. These changes, both leading to a more sustainable future, are reinventing how we get from here to there. (随着更多国家政府力推应对气候变化的紧急行动，不少公司正将未来押注于一个趋势：数以百万计的消费者终于准备好接纳电动汽车。现代电池驱动的汽车正在热销，零排放飞机也即将问世。这两大变革共同指向一个更可持续的未来，并重塑着我们从此地到彼处的出行方式。)”可推知，许多公司转向电动交通工具的主要驱动力是应对气候变化、减少排放，从而追求可持续发展。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Global annual sales of electric vehicles are expected to soar from just over 3 million today to 14 million by 2025. Just a month after Ford unveiled an electric version of the popular F-150, customers had reserved more than 100,000 of them. (全球电动汽车的年销量预计将从现在的300多万辆猛增到2025年的1400万辆。福特推出广受欢迎的F-150电动版仅一个月后，客户就已预订了超过10万辆。)”可知，电动汽车的销量预期和具体车型的预订量都在快速增长，说明其越来越受欢迎。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“High-storage batteries are useless at present when it comes to the technological challenge of launching a few hundred people into the sky and carrying them thousands of miles. No battery yet invented can power, say, a Boeing 747 from New York to London. Promising improvements, however, do add up. Developments with zero-emission, battery-powered electric engines are already happening in commercial flight, involving trips of limited duration and distance. Airlines specializing in short journeys with small planes will lead the way to electric flight. (在将几百人送上天空并携带他们飞行数千英里的技术挑战方面，目前高储能电池是无用的。目前还没有发明出能为例如波音747从纽约到伦敦提供动力的电池。然而，有希望的改进确实在增加。零排放、电池驱动的电动发动机的发展已经在商业飞行中发生，涉及有限时间和距离的旅行。专门从事短途小型飞机飞行的航空公司将引领电动飞行之路。)”可知，作者在第三段中通过承认现有挑战，转而强调电动飞机在特定领域(短途、小飞机)的积极进展和未来前景。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Nevertheless, the train has left the station. Someday, electric-powered transportation will be as common as air. (尽管如此，火车已经离站。总有一天，电动交通将像空气一样普遍。)”可知，这里的“火车已经离站”是一个比喻，意指向电动交通的转型已经启动，势不可挡。因此可以推断，绿色交通(即电动交通)正在路上，已成为趋势。故选A项。 D In the future, we may be doing a job that doesn’t even exist yet now. The requirements, levels and styles of all kinds of work are being updated very fast, which means we need to understand how we can make ourselves qualified for future roles that may appear. There’s no way to tell exactly what skills will be needed, and which ones will become unnecessary. However, based on current observations and patterns of how artificial intelligence (AI) and robots work, we have some basic ideas about how we can prepare for the future. According to a report, human cognitive (认知的) and interpersonal skills will be very important requirements in future workplaces, even with the rise of AI. One thing we need to understand is that it is humans that will manage and control machines. Future workers will need new skills to work with machines. The most important strengths that humans will need to develop is the ability to be a lifelong learner. Lifelong learning enables an individual to learn anywhere and anytime. Lifelong learning isn’t just about digital or AI skill. It’s about having a mindset that allows the brain to be open and receptive at any given time and place. The style of work changes over time, so do styles of learning. Different people learn in different ways. Traditional classroom or online platforms might not be the most useful approaches in the future. Since information is everywhere, it takes an open mindset to be always ready to effectively absorb, evaluate (评价) and make sense of the information that is so easily accessible wherever we are. At the same time, adaptability can be a challenge for employees who are used to the traditional way of doing things. However, a lifelong learning mindset can help change this. Moreover, lifelong learning increases employ ability. Amazon says lifelong learning will help its employees use new technologies. And many Amazon employees say it’ll open new opportunities for them to grow and change into new roles. 12. What does the author say about future jobs? A. They might come in unexpected forms. B. They are for people of high intelligence. C. They will be mainly performed by robots. D. They need employees to take on many roles. 13. Which will be the most significant skill in future workplaces? A. Having a different mindset. B. The ability to keep learning. C. Having the knowledge of AI. D. The ability to control machines. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A. The shortage of digital skills. B. The loss of new opportunities. C. The traditional way of doing things. D. The employee’s lack of adaptability. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. It Is Never Too Late to Learn B. It Is Difficult to Be a Lifelong Learner C. Lifelong Learning Is the Future of Work D. Lifelong Learning Will Help People Create New Jobs 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文，讲述了未来工作的形式可能是意想不到的，而人类认知和人际交往能力在未来工作场所非常重要，其中最重要的是终身学习的能力，终身学习有助于员工适应变化并增加就业能力。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“In the future, we may be doing a job that doesn't even exist yet now.

I used to be very shy and often felt lonely. I was afraid of physical education. My classmates often laughed at me. “Look at that girl,” they said. “Her feet don’t leave the ground when she runs!” Their words embarrassed me. Moreover, whenever there were some competitive games, no one in the class liked to have me as their team member. As a result, I often ended up looking at others enjoy their games. Things would go on like that but for a sports meet. By mistake, my name was put on the list of the women’s 1,500 meters race. By the time people found the mistake, it was too late. My deskmate was a natural athlete. She said to me, “I couldn’t run that race in your place, because I’ve signed up for three events already.” Other girls of the class said the same. I was dumbfounded (目瞪口呆), 1,500 meters! Running against the best runners from other classes! And in front of students of the entire school! It would be the worst nightmare (噩梦) I’d ever have! You still have time to catch up because there is still one month before the sports meet, they said. My deskmate patted me on the shoulder, “Cool! You will run for our class! And we will train together.” Yes, this is not just for myself, but for my class too,I said to myself. But still, 1,500 meters to me was like Mount Everest to a beginning climber. Every afternoon after class, my deskmate ran beside me. One month certainly couldn’t make me a good runner. But when I was standing behind the start line, I no longer felt lonely or afraid. I saw my classmates standing by the tracks waving at me as if to run beside me. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在以下位置作答。 With the shot of the starting gun, I rushed out and ran as fast as I could. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文： With the shot of the starting gun, I rushed out and ran as fast as I could. However, soon I was out of breath, my legs feeling like lead. I slowed down as other runners passed me one by one. At the sight of that, I was on the verge of giving up when I heard my classmates shouting, “Come on! You can do it!” Later, my deskmate even ran along the track beside me, cheering for me, just like the month-long training we did together. This lively scene flooded me with energy to push myself forward. As expected, I was almost the last to cross the finish line. There stood my classmates waiting for me, who exploded with warm applause and cheers! “You made it!” they yelled. “We are so proud of you!” Someone pressed a water bottle into my palm and wiped away the sweat rolling down my cheeks. With such strong collective care embracing me, gone was the great shame weighing on my mind. Deeply touched by them, I was lost in thought: The true victory lay not in winning a race but in overcoming my fear to complete it, which would inspire me to grow together with them. 【解析】 【导语】本文以时间为线索展开。作者非常不擅长跑步，甚至受到同学们的嘲笑，在一次跑步比赛中作者的名字被错误地写在了参加者名单上，在朋友们的鼓励下，作者坚持完成了比赛，虽然是最后一名，但作者明白了真正的胜利是克服恐惧。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“随着发令枪的响声，我冲了出去，以最快的速度奔跑起来。”可知，第一段可描写作者在开跑之后状态不佳，正要放弃的时候受到了朋友们的鼓励，于是继续奔跑。 ②由第二段首句内容“正如所料，我几乎是最后一个冲过终点线的。”可知，第二段可描写虽然作者是最后一个冲过终点线的，但是因为朋友们的鼓励和宽慰，作者受到了极大鼓舞。 2.续写线索：状态不佳想要放弃——朋友鼓励——完成比赛——朋友鼓舞——非常感动——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①减速：slow down/decrease speed ②充斥：flood with/fill with ③围绕：embrace/surround 情绪类 ①羞愧：shame/abashment ②感动：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] There stood my classmates waiting for me, who exploded with warm applause and cheers!
