B The 97-year-old botanist, Margaret Bradshaw, is the chief caretaker of Teesdale’s rarest flowers. “Everything about Teesdale is unique,” says Bradshaw with pride — and the authority of someone who has just written a 288-page book on the subject. Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases.Her data was the first to prove that — and the need to do something about it. The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000, as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate (娇嫩) flowers, taking away the light they need to grow. As a result of her findings and her work with farmers who herd the land — as well as Natural England, which manages it — sheep numbers are increasing and the timing of herding is being carefully managed. This has led to the partial recovery of some plants. At 93, she set up Teesdale Special Flora Research and Conservation Trust to record rare plants. A keen horse rider, at 95, she did a 55-mile horse journey across Teesdale, raising almost $ 10,000 for the Trust. When asked about the secret to longevity, “Just keep going,” she says. “Keep at it. Don’t sit down and just watch TV.” “I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.” 4. What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants? A. Writing a book. B. Preventing their decrease. C. Collecting their data. D. Directing farmers to grow plants. 5. What contributed to the reduction of rare plants in Teesdale? A. Not enough sheep. B. Lack of fund. C. Poor management. D. Too many sheep. 6. What can we learn from Bradshaw’s words in the last paragraph? A. Unity brings strength. B. Many hands make light work. C. Youthful at heart, regardless of age. D. Advance what the forerunners began. 7. Which might be a suitable title for the text? A. Teesdale: Home to Rare Plants B. Battling for Teesdale’s Wildflowers C. Bradshaw: A 97-Year-Old Gardener D. Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants C Whether you’re happy with your size or not, the basic fact of life is that we all have to eat. How you choose to raise yourself can make a big difference in how you feel, not only in your body, but about yourself and the world around you. “I had this babysitter who was a dieter,” said Dr Linda Shiue, an internal medicine physician and trained chef. “She would eat colourless, smell-less food and she was sad all the time.” That isn’t Shiue’s style. She is the first director of culinary (烹饪的) medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where she founded Thrive Kitchen, a teaching kitchen inspired by the babysitter. Her classes show people how to use spices (香料) and herbs to flavour seasonal cuisine while following an eating pattern that supports health. “As a physician who has seen the negative effects of long-term dieting, I encourage people to reconsider their relationship to food as a source of pleasure. This can be a very arduous task considering the diet-supporting messaging that surrounds us,” Shiue said in an email. What can you do to enjoy your food?” Many of us have experienced shame or guilt around food, and a lot of that is a product of our culture and what the fashion and whole dieting industries have created,” Shiue said. “I think that most people at some point feel like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t eat that. That’s bad for me.’ Actually, there’s no need to feel bad about food choices. Everything has to be in moderation, and that means there’s room for the occasional indulgence (放纵).” Restrictive (限制的) diets are having the opposite effect. “Research shows that the best eating plan is the one any given individual can stick with — a sustainable (可持续的) lifestyle change,” Shiue said. In Shiue’s opinion, food is more than a way to simply stay alive. “Nutrition is only one small part of food,” she said. “Food is also an expression of love and care. So enjoy your food!” 8. What inspired Dr Linda Shiue to found Thrive Kitchen? A. Her training as a chef. B. Her own eating habits and lifestyle. C. Her work as an internal medicine physician. D. Her experience with a babysitter who was a dieter. 9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meaningful. B. Difficult. C. Abstract. D. Promising. 10. According to Shiue, what should people do to enjoy their food? A. Always eat what you like. B. Follow fashion and dieting trends. C. Stop judging food as good or bad. D. Completely avoid restrictive diets. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should eat healthy food to stay alive. B. People should reconsider the role of nutrition. C. How and what people eat affects their well-being. D. Long-term dieting has negative effects on people’s health. D The feeling of magic around Christmas is something many of us remember from childhood and spend the rest of our lives trying to recreate. Warm childhood memories of writing letters to Santa Claus still lie in our heart. There’s something about the “Christmas feeling” that everyone recognizes. But why is it so hard to experience it as an adult? Has Christmas changed? Is it really a Christmas feeling, or just a feeling of missing the past? Katie Carhart, a clinical psychologist, said, “As adults, they feel different, because instead of just enjoying the joy, they’re making it. They’re responsible for making the magic and continuing the traditions — from cooking for hours, shopping to wrapping gifts until late at night, which comes with pressure, high expectations and stress.” She also explained, “Adults are not always missing Christmas itself as much as they’re missing how it felt when life was simpler and they weren’t responsible for making it happen.” A recent survey from major U.S. mental health provider, LifeStance Health, found that 75 percent of respondents (调查对象) think some planned holiday gatherings feel like duties rather than something they want to attend. It also found that 69 percent of respondents feel at least some pressure to appear happier than they actually are during the holidays, with 34 percent of millennials (千禧一代) and 35 percent of Gen Z reporting a high degree of pressure. However, Marcum, a psychologist at AMFM Healthcare, encourages adults to do things to make the time feel more magical and less stressful. Consider the things that mean the most and attach primary importance to them. He also advises people to set boundaries and not to feel the need to attend every social event, hit every holiday item on the bucket list. Setting boundaries helps to reduce burnout. 12. Why does the author mention childhood memories of Christmas? A. To explain why people try to recreate the magic. B. To contrast past warmth with present difficulty. C. To show Christmas is the most important festival. D. To prove children enjoy Christmas more than adults. 13. What do adults actually miss according to Katie Carhart? A. The simplicity of childhood life. B. Making delicious holiday meals. C. The changed Christmas traditions. D. Buying presents for family members. 14. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 3? A. To show gatherings are popular. B. To prove holiday stress is common. C. To explain avoidance of social events. D. To compare different age-group pressures. 15. What is Marcum’s advice to avoid holiday burnout? A. Stick to traditions firmly. B. Prepare holiday items early. C. Solve key things and set limits. D. Attend as many events as possible. 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。 The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere. It is not exercise or hiking or jogging. It is being in nature and connecting with nature. ____16____ It can improve your immune (免疫) system, lower blood pressure and help with depression. Follow the tips below to experience forest bathing. Find a place where you’re surrounded by trees. The ideal place to have a forest bath is in the forest. But if you live far away from one or don’t have the means to get there, any place that has a lot of trees and quiet spaces will do. You can even get beneficial effects from a city park. ____17____ Set aside a large amount of time. To get the final rewards of shinrin-yoku, plan to spend two to six hours in the woods. ____18____ If you can’t set aside a good part of your day to wander through the forest, you can also do shorter walks. Anyway, the longer the time in the forest, the better. ____19____ The difference between normal activities and forest bathing is that we’re going to move very slowly. Forest bathing is about calming down your nervous system and reducing your heart rate and blood pressure. If you work too hard physically, your tiredness will reduce the effect of forest bathing. Quite often, when we are bathed in the forest, it sends something back to help us make sense of what’s going on in our life. ____20____ You may be surprised by what you discover. A. Aim to reduce heart rate. B. Enjoy sweating in forest bathing. C. Forest bathing for about that amount of time helps improve immunity. D. But the health benefits will not be great if you don’t stay there longer. E. Now, find a spot in the forest or the park and breathe in the smell of nature. F. Not only is forest bathing a way to explore nature, it’s also good for your health. G. However, the health benefits won’t be as obvious as walking in the deep woods. 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。 A few years ago, we bought a model Lego (乐高) set of the Taj Mahal for my dad’s birthday, hoping to combine his love for ____21____ with family time.

But when Charley dove into the water from the edge, he hit the concrete bottom of the swimming pool and was badly hurt. Soon he was rushed away in the screaming ambulance. The doctor said he had seriously broken his leg and would stay at hospital for several weeks. When Tad went to visit him in the hospital, Charley was in a low mood, unwilling to talk to others. When Charley got out of the hospital, Tad visited him a few times, chatting and playing video games with him, but things just were not the same. Charley was still in low spirits. Meanwhile, Tad made friends at school, boys who enjoyed the things he and Charley used to do. Still, he felt sad and guilty for not spending more time with Charley. He wanted to help Charley and be the same good friend like before, but it was hard. Charley came back to middle school in the fall, but he had a tough time. Tad helped him get to class on time by pushing his wheelchair, but sometimes, Charley had to find someone else if Tad was at ball practice, or he would be late. One day Charley dropped his book. As he tried to lean (倾斜) down and pick it up, he fell out of his wheelchair. Tad and one of his classmates helped him back into his chair. Charley wasn’t hurt, but he was so embarrassed that he didn’t speak to anyone the rest of the day. Another time, Charley tried to get through the gym door, but it closed on him. He was trapped between the door and the wall until someone helped him. With each passing day, Charley became sadder and sadder. 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。 Tad realized that he couldn’t be by Charley’s side every single second. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the joint efforts of his classmates, Tad sensed something had changed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2024级高二年级上学期期末考试 英语试题 时间：120分钟 分值：150分 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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.” 4. What is Margaret Bradshaw’s main work with the rare plants? A. Writing a book. B. Preventing their decrease. C. Collecting their data. D. Directing farmers to grow plants. 5.

Exploring Teesdale’s Unique Plants 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了97岁植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Bradshaw has been recording rare plants here since the early 1950s and has witnessed great decreases. Her data was the first to prove that —and the need to do something about it.”（布拉德肖从20世纪50年代初就开始记录这里的珍稀植物，并见证了它们的大幅减少。她的数据是第一个证明这一点的人，也证明了对此采取措施的必要性。）可知，布拉德肖在珍稀植物方面的主要工作是收集它们的数据。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“The main reason for the decrease of these plants is an unusual one. The number of sheep in Teesdale had been reduced by half by 2000,as the uplands were generally believed there were too many sheep. Bradshaw says while sheep are hunted in some upland areas, reducing herding in Teesdale has been destructive. Longer grass overshadows the delicate(娇嫩)flowers, taking away the light they need to grow.”（这些植物减少的主要原因是一个不寻常的原因。到2000年，提斯代尔的羊数量减少了一半，因为人们普遍认为高地上羊太多了。布拉德肖说，虽然羊在一些高地地区被猎杀，但在提斯代尔减少放牧是具有破坏性的。较长的草遮住了娇弱的花朵，带走了它们生长所需的光。）可推知，没有足够的羊导致了提斯代尔稀有植物的减少。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours, “she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””（“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”）可推知，从最后一段布拉德肖的话中我们能了解到，她希望推进先行者开创这个事业。故选D项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章大意以及最后一段““I recognise I’m getting older and I’ve been trying to get more people to take over and do the records. They don’t believe I won’t be here forever,” Bradshaw says. Despite Bradshaw’s guardianship of this land, and the love and energy she has put into saving it, the future here is unknown. The last words of her book speak to this endless loss. “This is our heritage, this unique plant species, mine and yours,” she writes. “In spite of trying, I have failed to prevent its decrease, now it is up to you.””（“我意识到我年纪越来越大了，我一直在努力让更多的人接手并做记录。他们不相信我不会永远在这里，”布拉德肖说。尽管布拉德肖守护着这片土地，她为拯救这片土地付出了爱和精力，但这里的未来仍是未知的。她书中的最后几句话讲述了这种无尽的失落。“这是我们的遗产，这种独特的植物物种，我的和你的，”她写道。“尽管我努力了，但还是没能阻止它的减少，现在就看你的了。”）可知，文章主要讲的是97岁的植物学家玛格丽特·布拉德肖(Margaret Bradshaw)是提斯代尔最稀有花卉的主要看护人，她希望让更多的人接手并做记录并且开创这个事业。故文章最好的标题是“为提斯代尔的稀有花卉而奋斗”。故选B项。 C Whether you’re happy with your size or not, the basic fact of life is that we all have to eat. How you choose to raise yourself can make a big difference in how you feel, not only in your body, but about yourself and the world around you. “I had this babysitter who was a dieter,” said Dr Linda Shiue, an internal medicine physician and trained chef. “She would eat colourless, smell-less food and she was sad all the time.” That isn’t Shiue’s style. She is the first director of culinary (烹饪的) medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where she founded Thrive Kitchen, a teaching kitchen inspired by the babysitter. Her classes show people how to use spices (香料) and herbs to flavour seasonal cuisine while following an eating pattern that supports health. “As a physician who has seen the negative effects of long-term dieting, I encourage people to reconsider their relationship to food as a source of pleasure. This can be a very arduous task considering the diet-supporting messaging that surrounds us,” Shiue said in an email. What can you do to enjoy your food?” Many of us have experienced shame or guilt around food, and a lot of that is a product of our culture and what the fashion and whole dieting industries have created,” Shiue said. “I think that most people at some point feel like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t eat that. That’s bad for me.’ Actually, there’s no need to feel bad about food choices. Everything has to be in moderation, and that means there’s room for the occasional indulgence (放纵).” Restrictive (限制的) diets are having the opposite effect. “Research shows that the best eating plan is the one any given individual can stick with — a sustainable (可持续的) lifestyle change,” Shiue said. In Shiue’s opinion, food is more than a way to simply stay alive. “Nutrition is only one small part of food,” she said. “Food is also an expression of love and care. So enjoy your food!” 8. What inspired Dr Linda Shiue to found Thrive Kitchen? A. Her training as a chef. B. Her own eating habits and lifestyle. C. Her work as an internal medicine physician. D. Her experience with a babysitter who was a dieter. 9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Meaningful. B. Difficult. C. Abstract. D. Promising. 10. According to Shiue, what should people do to enjoy their food? A. Always eat what you like. B. Follow fashion and dieting trends. C. Stop judging food as good or bad. D. Completely avoid restrictive diets. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. People should eat healthy food to stay alive. B. People should reconsider the role of nutrition. C. How and what people eat affects their well-being. D. Long-term dieting has negative effects on people’s health. 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要介绍了不要过度节食，要合理的选择食物，这对我们的心理和身体健康都有好处。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段关键句““I had this babysitter who was a dieter,” said Dr Linda Shiue, an internal medicine physician and trained chef. “She would eat colourless, smell-less food and she was sad all the time.” That isn’t Shiue’s style. She is the first director of culinary (烹饪的) medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, where she founded Thrive Kitchen, a teaching kitchen inspired by the babysitter. (“我有个节食者保姆，”内科医生、训练有素的厨师Linda Shiue博士说。“她会吃无色无味的食物，她总是很难过。”这不是Shiue的风格。她是旧金山凯撒医疗集团的第一位烹饪医学总监，在那里她创立了Thrive Kitchen，这是一个受保姆启发的教学厨房。)”可知，Linda Shiue博士创建Thrive Kitchen是受到了一个节食者保姆的启发，由此可知，Linda Shiue博士和一个节食者保姆相处的经历促使她创立了Thrive Kitchen。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线单词上文“As a physician who has seen the negative effects of long-term dieting, I encourage people to reconsider their relationship to food as a source of pleasure. (作为一名已经看到长期节食负面影响的医生，我鼓励人们重新考虑他们与食物的关系，将其作为快乐的来源。)”可知，Linda Shiue博士希望人们将食物作为快乐的来源，不要执着于节食，根据画线单词下文“…considering the diet-supporting messaging that surrounds us (……考虑我们周围的节食支持信息)”可知，很多人支持节食，由此可知，Linda Shiue博士的想法可能是一项困难的任务，“Difficult”意为“困难的”，能够表达画线单词在句中所要表达的意思。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段关键句““I think that most people at some point feel like, ‘Oh, I shouldn’t eat that. That’s bad for me.’ Actually, there’s no need to feel bad about food choices. Everything has to be in moderation, and that means there’s room for the occasional indulgence (放纵).”(“我认为大多数人在某个时候都会觉得，‘哦，我不应该吃那个。这对我不好。’事实上，没有必要对食物选择感到难过。一切都必须适度，这意味着偶尔放纵一下是有空间的。”)”可知，Linda Shiue博士认为要想享受食物，就不要判食物是好是坏, 一切都必须适度，偶尔可以放纵一下，由此可知，Linda Shiue博士认为人们要想享受他们的食物，就不要评判食物是好是坏。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段内容“Whether you’re happy with your size or not, the basic fact of life is that we all have to eat. How you choose to raise yourself can make a big difference in how you feel, not only in your body, but about yourself and the world around you. (无论你对自己的体型是否满意，生活的基本事实是我们都必须吃饭。你选择如何喂养自己会对你的感受产生很大的影响，不仅是你的身体，还有你对自己和周围世界的感受。)”可知，本文主要告诉我们人们怎么吃和吃什么不仅会影响身体，也会影响自己和对周围世界的感受，即幸福感，由此可知，这篇文章的主要讲了人们怎样吃和吃什么会影响他们的健康。故选C项。 D The feeling of magic around Christmas is something many of us remember from childhood and spend the rest of our lives trying to recreate. Warm childhood memories of writing letters to Santa Claus still lie in our heart. There’s something about the “Christmas feeling” that everyone recognizes. But why is it so hard to experience it as an adult? Has Christmas changed? Is it really a Christmas feeling, or just a feeling of missing the past? Katie Carhart, a clinical psychologist, said, “As adults, they feel different, because instead of just enjoying the joy, they’re making it. They’re responsible for making the magic and continuing the traditions — from cooking for hours, shopping to wrapping gifts until late at night, which comes with pressure, high expectations and stress.” She also explained, “Adults are not always missing Christmas itself as much as they’re missing how it felt when life was simpler and they weren’t responsible for making it happen.” A recent survey from major U.S. mental health provider, LifeStance Health, found that 75 percent of respondents (调查对象) think some planned holiday gatherings feel like duties rather than something they want to attend. It also found that 69 percent of respondents feel at least some pressure to appear happier than they actually are during the holidays, with 34 percent of millennials (千禧一代) and 35 percent of Gen Z reporting a high degree of pressure. However, Marcum, a psychologist at AMFM Healthcare, encourages adults to do things to make the time feel more magical and less stressful. Consider the things that mean the most and attach primary importance to them. He also advises people to set boundaries and not to feel the need to attend every social event, hit every holiday item on the bucket list. Setting boundaries helps to reduce burnout. 12. Why does the author mention childhood memories of Christmas? A. To explain why people try to recreate the magic. B. To contrast past warmth with present difficulty. C To show Christmas is the most important festival. D. To prove children enjoy Christmas more than adults. 13. What do adults actually miss according to Katie Carhart? A. The simplicity of childhood life. B. Making delicious holiday meals. C. The changed Christmas traditions. D. Buying presents for family members. 14. Why does the author list the numbers in paragraph 3? A. To show gatherings are popular. B. To prove holiday stress is common. C. To explain avoidance of social events. D. To compare different age-group pressures. 15. What is Marcum’s advice to avoid holiday burnout? A. Stick to traditions firmly. B. Prepare holiday items early. C. Solve key things and set limits. D. Attend as many events as possible. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了成年人为何难以体验到童年时那种纯粹的圣诞魔力，分析了其中因角色转变带来的压力，并提供了缓解节日压力的建议。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Warm childhood memories of writing letters to Santa Claus still lie in our heart. (童年时给圣诞老人写信的温暖记忆仍留在我们心中)”以及后文提出的疑问“But why is it so hard to experience it as an adult? (但为什么成年后却很难体验到这种感觉呢？)”可知，作者提及童年记忆是为了与成年后难以体验到相同感觉的现状进行对比。故选B项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“She also explained, “Adults are not always missing Christmas itself as much as they’re missing how it felt when life was simpler and they weren’t responsible for making it happen.” (她还解释说：“成年人往往并不是怀念圣诞节本身，而是怀念过去生活更简单、自己无需负责营造节日氛围时的感觉。”)”可知，根据Katie Carhart的说法，成年人真正怀念的是童年生活的简单。故选A项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“A recent survey from major U.S. mental health provider, LifeStance Health, found that 75 percent of respondents (调查对象) think some planned holiday gatherings feel like duties rather than something they want to attend. It also found that 69 percent of respondents feel at least some pressure to appear happier than they actually are during the holidays, with 34 percent of millennials (千禧一代) and 35 percent of Gen Z reporting a high degree of pressure. (美国主要心理健康服务提供商LifeStance Health最近的一项调查发现，75%的受访者认为一些计划好的节日聚会感觉像是义务，而不是他们想参加的活动。调查还发现，69%的受访者至少感到一些压力，要在节日期间表现得比实际更快乐，其中34%的千禧一代和35%的Z世代表示压力很大)”可知，作者列出这些数据是为了证明成年人在节日期间普遍感到压力。故选B项。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Consider the things that mean the most and attach primary importance to them. He also advises people to set boundaries and not to feel the need to attend every social event (考虑那些对你来说最重要的事情，并优先处理它们。他还建议人们设定界限，不要觉得有必要参加每一个社交活动)”可知，Marcum建议优先处理关键的事情并设定界限，以避免节日倦怠。故选C项。 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。 The act of spending time in the forest is called shinrin-yoku, meaning bathing in the forest atmosphere.

How should we define a successful life? The words of Albert Einstein provide a timeless perspective. He urged us to “become a person of value” rather than merely one of success. I believe true success lies not in external recognition, but in the lasting value we create for others. Consider Tu Youyou. Her success wasn’t defined by fame, but by decades of persistent research aimed at saving lives. The value of her work — the countless lives saved by artemisinin — is what makes her achievement profound and enduring. This teaches me that the most meaningful path is to focus on contributions. I hope to build my future on this principle. 【解析】 【导语】本篇书面表达属于议论文。要求考生以“What Makes a Life Truly Successful?”为题，结合具体人物阐述对成功人生的看法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 提供：provide → supply 永恒的： timeless → eternal 坚持的：persistent → consistent 专注于：focus on → concentrate on 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Consider Tu Youyou. 拓展句：Consider Tu Youyou, whose decades of unyielding efforts have left an indelible mark on global healthcare. 【点睛】[高分句型1] The value of her work — the countless lives saved by artemisinin — is what makes her achievement profound and enduring.

But when Charley dove into the water from the edge, he hit the concrete bottom of the swimming pool and was badly hurt. Soon he was rushed away in the screaming ambulance. The doctor said he had seriously broken his leg and would stay at hospital for several weeks. When Tad went to visit him in the hospital, Charley was in a low mood, unwilling to talk to others. When Charley got out of the hospital, Tad visited him a few times, chatting and playing video games with him, but things just were not the same. Charley was still in low spirits. Meanwhile, Tad made friends at school, boys who enjoyed the things he and Charley used to do. Still, he felt sad and guilty for not spending more time with Charley. He wanted to help Charley and be the same good friend like before, but it was hard. Charley came back to middle school in the fall but he had a tough time. Tad helped him get to class on time by pushing his wheelchair, but sometimes, Charley had to find someone else if Tad was at ball practice, or he would be late. One day Charley dropped his book. As he tried to lean (倾斜) down and pick it up, he fell out of his wheelchair. Tad and one of his classmates helped him back into his chair. Charley wasn’t hurt, but he was so embarrassed that he didn’t speak to anyone the rest of the day. Another time, Charley tried to get through the gym door, but it closed on him. He was trapped between the door and the wall until someone helped him. With each passing day, Charley became sadder and sadder. 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。 Tad realized that he couldn’t be by Charley’s side every single second. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With the joint efforts of his classmates, Tad sensed something had changed. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Tad realized that he couldn’t be by Charley’s side every single second. Out of his worry about Charley, Tad felt it was urgent to talk to their classmates. That afternoon, Tad called a meeting and shared Charley’s difficulties and his own feelings of guilt. He suggested that everyone take turns to help Charley with small tasks, like opening doors or carrying books. To his relief, the whole class agreed immediately. The next day, when Charley arrived at school, he was surprised to find a group of classmates waiting for him with warm smiles. They formed a “buddy system” to ensure he never felt alone or embarrassed again. With the joint efforts of his classmates, Tad sensed something had changed. Charley’s eyes, once filled with sadness, now held a light of hope. He began to join conversations during breaks and even laughed at the boys’ jokes. Little by little, Charley stopped seeing himself as “the boy in the wheelchair” and started seeing himself as part of the group again. Even better, Charley no longer hesitated to ask for help, and he was no longer embarrassed by his situation. Tad finally understood that true friendship isn’t about constant presence, but about lifting someone up by building a supportive circle. Their bond, forged in hardship, became a lifelong lesson in kindness. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述六年级暑假时，查理在游泳池受伤导致腿部严重骨折，出院后回到学校面临诸多困难，情绪低落。泰德想帮助他，但因时间有限无法时刻陪伴，查理在学校的处境愈发艰难。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“塔德意识到，他不可能每时每刻都陪在查理身边。”可知，第一段可描写泰德意识到不能时刻陪伴查理后，决定召集同学们开会，分享查理的困难和自己的愧疚，建议大家轮流帮助查理，同学们纷纷响应，第二天就开始行动。 ②由第二段首句内容“在同学们的共同努力下，塔德感觉到有些事情已经不一样了”可知，第二段可描写在同学们的共同努力下，查理发生了积极的变化，他眼中重燃希望，重新融入集体，不再因自身情况而尴尬，泰德也从中领悟到友谊的真谛。 2.续写线索：泰德召集同学开会——建议轮流帮助查理——同学们响应并行动——查理在大家帮助下发生变化——重燃希望融入集体——泰德领悟友谊真谛。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①分享：share /distribute ②建议：suggest/advise ③发现：find /spot 情绪类 ①惊讶的：surprised/astonished ②尴尬的：embarrassed/awkward 【点睛】【高分句型 1】Out of his worry about Charley, Tad felt it was urgent to talk to their classmates.（运用 it 作形式宾语，真正的宾语为后面的不定式短语） 【高分句型 2】Tad finally understood that true friendship isn’t about constant presence, but about lifting someone up by building a supportive circle.（运用 that 引导的宾语从句 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
