Campus stalls featured diverse foods like Italian pasta and Chinese dumplings, and exchange students shared interesting stories behind their dishes.The activity was so rewarding that it received overwhelming response. We gained a deeper understanding of different cultures, improved our cross-cultural communication skills, and made new friends. Besides, it is strongly recommended that next time, hands-on cooking workshops be added for more interaction. Extending the event by an hour could let more students join. What a meaningful and enjoyable experience! 【读后续写】 The Big Cleaning plan began. Joan collected the clothes from sofa and then put them in the water of a basin. After pouring in some washing liquids, she began to wash them by hand. Realizing the clothes were clean enough, Joan gently squeezed water out and hung them to dry. Meanwhile, Mike was busy mopping the floor back and forth with all his strength, really aware of what hard work his Mum had at home! They had just finished the cleaning when the express boy came to the door. With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in. “Happy birthday, Mum!”, they greeted in chorus. Confused and surprised, Mum stood frozen. When Mum realized what had happened, a warm current rose in her heart. Staring at the clean floor and the washed clothes, she could hardly contain her excitement and hugged them tightly, “It is the best birthday gift I have ever had!” Mum said emotionally. Just then Joan took out her smartphone and took a happy video named Mum’s Birthday and sent it to Dad. 【答案解析】 【B】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了研究表明，街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目可显著提升安全性，减少车祸，该项目成本低，虽部分城市效果不佳，但相关计划仍将扩展。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians.(这些作品通常色彩鲜艳、难以被司机忽视，往往会促使司机减速、更加小心，并更加留意行人)”可知，道路艺术项目有助于司机集中注意力。故选D。 【26题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study.(根据这项研究，将艺术作品绘制在街道和交叉路口能够显著提高安全性，可将涉及汽车和行人的事故率降低多达50%，并将所有事故率降低17%)”可知，第三段中“interventions”指代前文提到的内容。第二段主要介绍“Art projects painted onto streets and intersections”（街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目），第三段承接上文，说明这些简单的“干预措施”被纳入相关计划，因此“interventions”指“街头彩绘项目”。故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively.(然而，这些举措并不会自动带来安全方面的改善。研究发现，在佐治亚州的亚特兰大和迪凯特市开展的沥青艺术项目与事故减少并无关联，事故率分别上升了41%和28%)”以及第六段“But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work.(但布隆伯格慈善基金会计划继续开展这项工作)”可知，尽管结果好坏参半，该计划仍将扩大实施。故选A。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Intersections are deadly places, where more than half of all car crashes occur. A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint.(交叉路口是极其危险的地方，这里发生的车祸占所有车祸总数的一半以上。一项研究表明，解决这一公共健康危机的部分问题或许可以依靠一个简单而令人意想不到的工具。它并非新的交通信号灯或大型建筑，而是一桶油漆)”结合文章主要说明了研究表明，街道和十字路口的艺术彩绘项目可显著提升安全性，减少车祸，该项目成本低，虽部分城市效果不佳，但相关计划仍将扩展。可知，D选项“成本效益高的街头艺术能确保城市道路更加安全”最符合文章标题。故选D。 【C】 29. A 30. A 31. C 32. A 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章探讨了创造力的不确定性，指出固定目标和方法会限制创意，强调从多角度观察和灵活应对变化是激发创造力的关键。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“There is a tendency among how-to enthusiasts to talk about creativity as if it had fixed goals: things you know from the start will turn out to be novels or symphonies (交响乐). Writers and musicians who have suffered many failures know this is an unlikely task. (在那些热衷于“如何做”的人中，有一种倾向是谈论创造力，仿佛它有固定的目标：从一开始就知道会变成小说或交响乐的东西。经历过多次失败的作家和音乐家知道，这几乎是不可能的任务)”可知，作家和音乐家认识到创造力具有不确定性，不是从一开始就有固定目标的。故选A项。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Scientists call this need the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists to favour known methods in problem-solving at the expense of alternatives. It is also a good way of describing what can happen when an artistic approach stops producing results. A few years ago, when I finished Murmur, a novel about Alan Turing, I knew I wouldn’t be working that way again. Nevertheless, I tried a second historical fiction. Failed. (科学家将这种需求称为定势效应。研究发现，人们在解决问题时普遍倾向于使用已知方法，而忽视了其他选择。这也是描述当一种艺术方法不再产生结果时会发生什么的一种好方式。几年前，当我完成了Murmur——一部关于艾伦·图灵的小说时，我知道我不会再以那种方式工作了。然而，我还是尝试了第二部历史小说，结果失败了)”可知，作者在创作小说时失败，是因为他试图重复之前的方式，受到了定势效应的影响。故选A项。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段“So, the side-long view is important. The world of nature also offers similar cases. Insects and some birds rely less on an inbuilt map of the world to locate food than on what they see when they are moving. When a bee flies sideways, generating motion parallax (运动视差), a flower can be clearly located. (因此，从侧面着眼很重要。自然界也提供了类似的例子。昆虫和一些鸟类在寻找食物时，较少依赖内置的世界地图，而是更多地依靠它们在移动时看到的东西。当蜜蜂侧飞时，产生运动视差，花朵的位置就能被清晰地确定)”可知，本段主要通过昆虫和鸟类的例子说明从侧面着眼的重要性，提供了自然界的支持证据。故选C项。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Perhaps, artistic vision is a part of physical seeing, where looking from different angles is more important than staring straight at something. Creative projects and artistic vision come from our inborn response to the world around us. And since the world is always changing, so is our creativity — it’s never fixed or set in stone. (或许，艺术愿景是物理视觉的一部分，从不同角度观察比直盯着某样东西更为重要。创意项目和艺术愿景源于我们对周围世界与生俱来的反应。既然世界总是在变化，我们的创造力也是如此——它从来不是固定不变的)”可知，作者认为创造力也应该是灵活的，需用从多角度出发，而不是固定不变的。由此可知，作者建议保持灵活。故选A项。 【七选五】【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章就怎样才能成为伟大的人发表自己观点，即充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力，从而找到一个合理的成功水平。 【36题详解】 由上文“So, what does it take to be great? I thoroughly reject the ‘10 years, 10,000 hours’ notion that anyone can be an expert if they just put in enough time.(那么，怎样才能成为伟大的人呢？我坚决反对‘10年，10000小时’的观点，即只要投入足够的时间，任何人都可以成为专家。)”可知，作者这里否定只要时间足够就能成为专家，而F项The reality is that genes matter, whether inborn intelligence or inborn physical talent.(事实上，基因很重要，无论是天生的智力还是天生的身体天赋。)符合语境，即提出自己的观点——基因决定能否成为伟人，且The reality 与下文Another reality 对应，有启下作用。故选F项。 【37题详解】 由上文“Another reality though is that you can’t control your genes. If you received good ones from your parents thank them. If you didn’t, don’t blame your parents because they didn’t choose their genes either. (另一个现实是，你无法控制你的基因。如果你得到了父母的好基因，感谢他们。如果你没有，不要责怪你的父母，因为他们也没有选择自己的基因。)”可知，这里讲你无法控制你的基因，而A项Instead, let it go and focus on what you can control.(相反，不必追究它，专注于你能控制的事情。)符合语境，其中Instead与上文形成转折，can control也与上文 can’t control形成对比。故选A项。 【38题详解】 由下文“What this means is that you need inborn ability to be great, but it isn’t enough. (这意味着你需要天生的能力才能变得伟大，但这还不够。)”可知，这里讲天生的能力也并不足够让你变得伟大，而D项Inborn ability is a necessary but not sufficient contributor to greatness.(天生的能力是伟大的必要因素，但还不够。)符合语境，其中Inborn ability与上下文对应，下句也对本句进行了解释说明，所以本句有启下作用。故选D项。 【39题详解】 由上文“Talent is only the starting point to greatness and, if you’ re fortunate enough to have won the genetic lottery, it puts you ahead of the field at the beginning the race to be great. (天赋只是伟大的起点，如果你足够幸运地赢得了基因彩票，它会让你在比赛一开始就处于领先地位。) ”可知，这里主要讲天赋只是让你起点领先，但不保证终点能领先。而B项But, of course, races aren’t won at the start, but at the finish(但是，当然，比赛不是在开始时获胜，而是在结束时获胜)符合语境，其中at the start与上文at the beginning对应，at the finish与下文get to the finish 对应，所以本句有承上启下作用。故选B项。 【40题详解】 由下文“I define that as fully realizing whatever ability you were born with. That inborn ability may not be enough to be a superstar in your area of achievement, but, if you do what is necessary, you will find a reasonable level of success.(我将其定义为充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力。这种与生俱来的能力可能不足以成为你成就领域的超级明星，但如果你做了必要的事情，你会找到一个合理的成功水平。)”可知，这里主要讲充分认识到你与生俱来的任何能力来实现适合你自己的伟大，而C项Rather, your goal should be to find your own personal greatness.(相反，你的目标应该是找到自己的个人伟大之处。)符合语境，其中 your own personal greatness为下文 that的指代内容，所以本句有启下作用。故选C项。 【完形】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者和父亲一起拼装乐高模型的经历，并从中感悟到人生与拼乐高的不同之处。 【38题详解】 考查动词短语辨析。句意：每天晚上，我和爸爸都会围坐在大餐桌旁，计划我们的拼装策略。A. gathered around聚集在……周围；B. sided with支持，站在……一边；C. lived off依靠……生活；D. straightened up整理，站直。根据后文“the large dining table to plan our line of attack”可知，作者和父亲围坐在餐桌旁计划拼装的策略。故选A。 【39题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们面对着成千上万的小小的白色积木，每个都精确地包装在编号的塑料袋里，还伴有一本厚厚的说明书。A. vast广阔的；B. tiny微小的；C. relevant相关的；D. original原始的。根据常识和后文“white pieces, each packaged with precision in numbered plastic bags”可知，乐高积木是很小的白色积木块。故选B。 【40题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意同上。A. favored偏爱；B. accompanied陪伴，附有；C. transformed转变；D. covered覆盖。根据后文“by a thick instruction booklet”指乐高积木附有一本厚厚的说明书。故选B。 【41题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们对这个模型的复杂程度感到惊讶。A. impractical不切实际的；B. unique独特的；C. complex复杂的；D. dull枯燥的。根据后文“We also realized the booklet itself was a work of art, beautiful, but also surprisingly 5 and clear.”可知，说明书既漂亮又详细清晰，可推知模型很复杂。故选C。 【42题详解】 考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我们也意识到这本说明书本身就是一件艺术品，既漂亮，又出奇地详细和清晰。A. ordinary普通的；B. abstract抽象的；C. meaningless无意义的；D. detailed详细的。根据后文“clear”可知，说明书详细且清晰。故选D。 【43题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：它给了我们确定性的安慰。A. certainty确定性；B. relaxation放松；C. insecurity不安全；D. competition竞争。根据后文“We knew if we followed all the 7, we would end up with a mode hat looked 8 like the picture on the box.”可知，如果我们按照说明书来，就能拼出和图片一样的模型，这给了我们确定性的安慰。故选A。 【44题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意：我们知道，如果我们遵循所有的说明，我们最终会得到一个看起来和盒子上的图片一模一样的模型。A. assessments评估；B. circumstances情况；C. instructions说明；D. inferences推断。根据前文“accompanied by a thick instruction booklet”可知，此处指遵循说明书。故选C。 【45题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意同上。A. initially最初；B. ultimately最终；C. exactly恰好地，正是；D. partly部分地。根据后文“like the picture on the box”可知，拼出的模型和图片一模一样。故选C。 【46题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：如果我们犯了一个错误，我们所要做的就是回溯我们的步骤，翻回前几页，重新开始。A. recycle回收；B. retrace回溯；C. reveal揭露；D. recall回忆。根据后文“our steps, flip back the pages and start again”可知，拼错的话要回溯步骤，翻回前几页重新开始。故选B。 【47题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：然而，生活并不是如此整齐地契合在一起的，也很少为我们提供如此清晰的指示。A. fit适合；B. occupy占领；C. shift转移；D. involve涉及。根据后文“together so neatly”可知，生活并不像乐高积木那样整齐地契合在一起。故选A。 【48题详解】 考查副词词义辨析。句意同上。A. fundamentally根本地；B. merely仅仅；C. slightly轻微地；D. rarely很少。根据前文“Life, however, does not 10 together so neatly”可知，生活很少给我们提供如此清晰的指示。故选D。 【49题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们讨论了各自的生活，所做的决定，以及从未采取的行动和选择。A. motivated激发；B. declined下降；C. opposed反对；D. taken采取。根据后文“actions and choices”可知，此处指从未采取的行动和做出的选择。故选D。 【50题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：我们认为我们有能力控制我们的生活，但我们的选择是受到我们无法控制的力量的影响。A. controlling控制；B. designing设计；C. analyzing分析；D. founding建立。根据后文“our life”可知，此处指控制生活，应用control。故选A。 【51题详解】 考查名词词义辨析。句意同上。A. rays射线；B. forces力量；C. shadows阴影；D. instances例子。根据后文“beyond our control”可知，是无法控制的力量影响我们的选择。故选B。 【52题详解】 考查动词词义辨析。句意：面对不确定性，我们必须继续前进，既要相信过程，也要相信最终结果。A. proceed继续前进；B. succeed成功；C. predict预测；D. interrupt打断。根据后文“trusting both in the process and the end result”可知，面对不确定性要继续前进。故选A。 【听力原文】 Text 1 通勤方式 M: The train has been late every day this week.

Text 3 去森林远足 M: I’m going to Green Forest with my hiking club this weekend. Do you want to join us? W: Sure. (3) I love being surrounded by trees and fresh air. M: ①I know what you mean. Nature is a perfect place to relax and get your energy back. ①本句中what you之间存在“同化”现象：/wɒt/+/ju/=/wɒˈtʃu/。 Text 4 买衣服 W: Look! How about this shirt? M: You always spend lots of hours choosing clothes in different shops but never find anything you really want. (4) W: Come on, honey. You never know which one fits you best until you shop around. Text 5 周末同去美食节 M: Mary, would you like to try some new foods? W: Yes! ②I love tasting different dishes from different countries. You can learn a lot about their cultures that way. M: I agree. There’s a food festival taking place this weekend. We can go there together if you want. (5) ②本句中different dishes之间存在“失去爆破”现象：different最后一个音为爆破音/t/，dishes第一个音为爆破音/d/，两者遇到一起，前面的爆破音做出发音的准备，但并不发音。 Text 6 广告频繁 M: It’s nice to see you reading a book for a change, Chloe. W: Well, I was trying to watch a live stream online, but it kept getting cut off by those advertisements. ③I just gave up in the⌒end. (6) M: Yes.

In fact, I have some pictures we took — they’re in my room somewhere. Let me find them for you now. (10) W: Thanks.

W: Of course, I’d be happy to share. Is there a specific topic you’re looking at? M: Yes. I’m looking at how different cultures give gifts.

M: No, do they have special traditions around gifts? W: Yes. I spent three months traveling in East Asia before I started university. In Japan, people often give gifts that are packed carefully.

(15) I also looked at your social media activity. Do you know how many times you post each day? (16) W: Maybe five times? (16) M: Double that number. (16) W: No way! M: I’ve gone back through the last month across all of your accounts. W: I’m sorry. I didn’t realize I was using it that much. M: I know. Overuse of mobile phones is becoming a real problem, not just with children but with adults too. However, you can try to avoid this issue by focusing on your studies. (17) W: I will. I promise. M: At the same time, we’ll set a new family rule. Mom and I will keep your phone on weekdays. You can have it on Sunday mornings, but only for an hour. Text 10 英国圣迈克尔山 I think everyone is on board, so we’ll head off shortly. Let me tell you a bit about where we’re heading today. We’re going to transport you to a place called St. Michael’s Mount, which is one of the most southern and western points of England. This historic site is home to an ancient castle that sits on top of a rocky hill that rises from the sea. (18) The bus will stop in the lovely small town of Marazion, where you can find food and gift shops. We will then need to wait for the sea to go back so that we can walk on the stones to the island. (19) According to our experience, the waiting time won’t be too long. When the sea comes in, the path disappears, and the only way to get to and from the island is by boat. Don’t worry! We have already booked a boat for you to come back on. Once you are there, you can tour the 800-year-old castle, which has several hidden rooms to discover, beautiful gardens to relax in, (20) and excellent views of the surrounding ocean. We will arrive in Marazion in an hour, so make yourselves comfortable. 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 福州四中2025-2026学年第一学期第二学段模块考试 高二英语 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共5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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话仅读二遍。 1.

To my surprise, I discovered in the margins (页边空白) my own faded hand-writing. So I was actually reading it again, but what I was rereading seemed entirely new. I also found sentences underlined. Only this time I wondered: Why did I underline this sentence? It’s the next one that is important! Clearly, my view of reading had changed over the years. This raised the larger question of rereading, which comes in many forms. There’s voluntary rereading, the result of a willful decision to revisit a book one has admired, or to confirm certain details in the text. A devoted teacher might wish to refresh his understanding of a work, and thus avoid teaching through the same old written notes with soporific (让人瞌睡的) effects. Next, there’s involuntary rereading. The original reading was either forgotten or so totally absorbed that the new chance encounter with the text produced surprise and astonishment. My reaction to the renewed reading no longer felt like the original experience, and I was no longer sure that I recognized myself as the same reader. Then there are what one might call subconscious (潜意识的) rereadings, those that happen without reading —much like recalling a song without actually being heard again. This remembered connection to books stays with us for life, shaping and strengthening us. We may over the years recite to ourselves poems learnt by heart long ago, which have become part of our self-recognition. All of these ways of reading are valuable. The “new” reading, a form of revision, uncovers the change in us. The newness is not in the text. Rereading makes it possible for us to see the world around us, ourselves included, in a new light. 21. What did the author find when reading Montaigne’s Essays? A. He couldn’t understand it. B. It was his favorite work C. He had made notes in it. D. It was a brand-new copy. 22. What could be a purpose of voluntary rereading for a teacher? A. To learn from admirable characters. B. To improve the quality of teaching. C. To collect details for writing novels. D. To help make important decisions. 23. What can involuntary rereading bring about? A. Better reading skills. B. Original preference for books. C. Faster reading speed. D. Unexpected reading experience. 24. What can be learnt about subconscious rereading? A. It helps make who we are. B. It prevents memory from fading. C. It involves actual reading. D. It works best with poetry and music. B Intersections（交叉路口） are deadly places, where more than half of all car crashes occur. A study shows that solving part of this public health crisis could come down to a simple, surprising tool. It’s not a new traffic signal or a big structure: it’s a bucket of paint. Art projects painted onto streets and intersections significantly improve safety, reducing the rate of crashes involving cars and pedestrians (行人) by up to 50% and all crashes by 17%, according to the study. These road art projects include multi-colored wall decorations and paint jobs on the streets, crosswalks, and asphalt (沥青) in and around busy intersections. Often bright and hard for drivers to miss, they tend to cause drivers to slow down, be more careful, and be more attentive to pedestrians. The simple interventions have been adopted as part of Bloomberg Philanthropies’ Asphalt Art Initiative, which has issued funds to 41 U. S. cities and three European cities. This study focused on some of these projects, and its findings provide data to suggest they can make intersections safer. Sadik-Khan, a former commissioner of the New York City Department of Transportation, started with a simple paint job on the street and some plastic traffic posts. The project had a positive effect on travel times, increased pedestrian activity, and even benefited businesses in the area. Now, such projects are being extended across the country with similar benefits. Some were completed for just a few thousand dollars. A few cost even hundreds. They don’t automatically translate into safety improvements, though. The study found that asphalt art projects in Atlanta and Decatur, Georgia, weren’t related to crash reductions, with crash rates increasing 41% and 28% respectively. But Bloomberg Philanthropies plans to continue the work. They’ll give $25,000 to as many as 20 European cities to do their own road art projects. With decreased crashes reported in the study, Sadik-Khan is hoping other cities will see the benefit of doing these kinds of projects. 25. What do we know about road art projects? A. They need a great deal of money. B. They function permanently. C. They raise concern in drivers. D. They help drivers concentrate. 26. What does the underlined word “interventions” refer to in paragraph 3? A. Financial investment plans. B. Street painting projects. C. Traffic control regulations. D. Wall decoration practices. 27. What can be inferred about the Asphalt Art Initiative’s future strategy? A. It will expand despite mixed outcomes. B. It will replace traditional traffic methods. C. It will focus on suburban intersections next. D. It will prioritize European cities over US cities. 28. What is the best title of the text? A. Bloomberg’s Initiative Transforms American Arts. B. Colorful Roads Boost Local Tourism in Major Cities. C. Innovative Traffic Signals Enhance Pedestrian Safety. D. Cost-Efficient Street Art Ensures Safer Urban Roads. C There is a tendency among how-to【方法论】 enthusiasts to talk about creativity as if it had fixed goals: things you know from the start will turn out to be novels or symphonies (交响乐). Writers and musicians who have suffered many failures know this is an unlikely task. If they have to talk about it, they use “artistic vision” and leave it at that. However, experience tells me that creativity often lies to one side of a declared aim. Some young writers are attracted by the idea that they can identify a model and knock out a thriller. Well, maybe so, but novels can take on countless shapes. The problem becomes clear when you start work creatively, because the need to believe in a fixed goal will hold you back. Scientists call this need the set effect. It finds that a general tendency exists to favour known methods in problem-solving at the expense of alternatives. It is also a good way of describing what can happen when an artistic approach stops producing results. A few years ago, when I finished Murmur, a novel about Alan Turing, I knew I wouldn’t be working that way again. Nevertheless, I tried a second historical fiction. Failed. Meanwhile, I was playing the piano and composing on the side, which worked nicely. So, the side-long view is important. The world of nature also offers similar cases. Insects and some birds rely less on an inbuilt map of the world to locate food than on what they see when they are moving. When a bee flies sideways, generating motion parallax (运动视差), a flower can be clearly located. Perhaps, artistic vision is a part of physical seeing, where looking from different angles is more important than staring straight at something. Creative projects and artistic vision come from our inborn response to the world around us. And since the world is always changing, so is our creativity — it’s never fixed or set in stone. 29. How do writers and musicians view creativity in the first paragraph? A. It has uncertainties. B. It is hidden in failures. C. It comes with a fixed goal. D. It is limited to specific fields. 30. What made the author fail in the creation of the fiction? A. Influence of the set effect. B. Lacking historical knowledge. C. Trying a new artistic approach. D. Distraction from playing the piano. 31. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. Explanation of the set effect. B. Deep research into insect life. C. Supporting evidence in nature. D. Doubts on insects’ inborn abilities. 32. What does the author suggest in the last paragraph? A. Staying flexible. B. Living to the fullest. C. Keeping exploring. D. Holding on to your goal. 第二节(共5题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 So, what does it take to be great?

Joan was sleeping soundly when the phone rang in the living room. She rolled over and glanced at the clock on the wall—it was already nine o’clock.Every weekend morning, her mother had to work part-time in the cafe. Although Joan was still sleepy, she knew she had to get up. After all, she didn’t expect her brother Mike, who was sleeping like a log, to hear the phone. She quietly went over to the living room. When she picked up the receiver, on the other end came the warmhearted greetings,“Good morning, my Dear!”Recognizing the voice from her father, Joan was immediately surrounded by a sense of joy and the sleepiness swept away. Joan’s father was a seaman, who rarely came back. Working on the sea was really hard.Born in a not-rich family, Joan and Mike felt the stress of life but they were happy to enjoy the family atmosphere. At school, they were straight-A students throughout the academic career and actively involved in school activities. They became the pride of the school and the envy of the students. “Good morning, Dad, what’s up?”Joan said in an easy tone.“I have been very nice recently, my baby. Today is your mother’s birthday, and I have ordered her a cake online and it should come to the house in one and half an hour. Do remember to take the cake.” Hearing her father’s words, Joan felt a little ashamed. How she could forget Mum’s birthday!She took a glance at the dirty clothes piled on the sofa and the oily floor that hadn’t been mopped(拖地) for a few days—There was two hours before her mother came back. She calculated they had enough time to prepare a surprise for Mum. Thinking of this, she felt full of excitement.“Well, Dad, now I’m going to wake Mike up.We will give Mum a surprise !” Joan hung up the phone with Dad, and hurriedly went to Mike’s room to share him her Big Cleaning plan. After listening to Joan, Mike readily accepted her idea. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右; 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Para.1 The Big Cleaning plan began. Para.2 With the cake placed on the table, Mum came in. 高二英语 第2 页 共8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
