The region is water-stressed. The annual rainfall is less than 4 cm. Access to water is an ongoing problem for the residents in and around the South American capital. When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to climb down a valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring. “It was downhill from the house, far away and steep,” he says. Cruz began dreaming up better ways to collect water. Then he noticed that subtropical plants capture rain and mist with their wide leaves. Actually Lima doesn’t lack in humidity (湿度), averaging 83% year-round. Located in the foothills of the Andean mountains, it is close to the Pacific Ocean, which ensures that blankets of dense fog roll in for three-quarters of a year. Eventually, Abel Cruz struck upon the idea of a fog net. Each upraised net is 20 square metres, where micro-droplets of water suspended in the foggy atmosphere condense (凝结) and drip down into collection tanks. Approximately 200 to 400 litres of water is collected daily from each net. Locals can fetch it in buckets for small-scale farming. Working in Lima with support from the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has installed over 3, 600 nets on hillsides around the city to capture fog drifting in from the Pacific Ocean. Cruz raised funds for hundreds of nets in Peru with his revolutionary initiative Peruvians Without Water. He aims to set up even more fog harvesters, and to treat the water to make it drinkable. “The planet has less and less fresh water,” Cruz points out, “because the glaciers that are natural reservoirs are disappearing. So we must find a way to accumulate and save water for times of drought.” The technology is life-changing for the poor households who normally have to rely on water tanks being delivered to them. His approach ends extreme poverty and brings rural development. Moreover, he is trying to bring healthy and clean water also to urban areas lacking water. 4. Why does the author mention Cruz’s childhood experience in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the urgency of reducing poverty. B. To highlight his responsibility for the family. C. To trace the origin of Cruz’s great invention. D. To stress Lima’s terrible geographical conditions. 5. What do we know about Cruz’s invention? A. It was inspired from subtropical plants. B. It used collection tanks to condense water. C. It lowered costs in building irrigation channels. D. It solved the drinking water issue with fog harvesters. 6. What may Abel Cruz’s efforts lead to? A. Guaranteeing crop harvests in Peru. B. Promoting the recycle of water resources. C. Ending poverty by improving traditional farming. D. Improving the life quality for people in water-stressed areas. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To describe the functions of an innovative fog-catcher. B. To call people’s attention to the worsening water crisis. C. To seek more support in raising funds for water collection. D. To introduce Abel Cruz’s invention and its great significance. C One of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees (猩猩) is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment. Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope to resume in the near future. This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart. 29-year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano. We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees, Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes—this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new! To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey. 8. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment? A. They are of different genders. B. They have natural curiosities. C. They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters. 9. Who showed the least interest in the piano? A. Buttercup and Clarisse. B. Emma. C. Precious. D. Luke. 10. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Continue. B. Suspend. C. Monitor. D. Regulate. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees. B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees’ daily life. C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment. D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps. D Digital technology has deeply transformed how we acquire and process information, but it has also brought a less recognized challenge: cognitive offloading. The term refers to our tendency to rely heavily on digital devices to store knowledge, remember plans, and even make judgments, rather than using our own mental capacity. While convenient in the short term, growing evidence suggests that excessive cognitive offloading may gradually weaken our fundamental cognitive abilities, especially memory and critical thinking. Many people take it for granted that they can search for any information within seconds, so there is no need to memorize facts or figures. A recent study conducted by a team of European psychologists supported this concern. The research tracked 360 college students over two academic years. Students who constantly used digital devices to store routine information and avoid memorization performed significantly worse in tests measuring working memory and logical reasoning than those who preferred to remember key information manually. More alarmingly, the decline was not temporary; it tended to persist even when participants tried to rely on their own memory again. Researchers explain that human memory is like a muscle: it strengthens with use and weakens with disuse. When we constantly outsource thinking to digital tools, our brain does not fully engage in encoding and storing information. Over time, this reduces the brain’s ability to focus, process complex problems, and form deep, long-lasting memories. However, experts do not advocate completely abandoning digital devices. Instead, they suggest a balanced approach: use technology as a supplement, not a replacement, for mental activity. The key is to maintain active cognitive engagement. For example, people can try to remember directions before checking a map, or recall important schedules before turning to a calendar app. By consciously reducing unnecessary cognitive offloading, individuals can protect and even improve their mental abilities while still enjoying the benefits of modern technology. As digital dependence continues to rise, finding this balance becomes increasingly vital for long-term cognitive health. 12. What does the phrase “cognitive offloading” (in Para. 1) most probably mean? A. Transferring memory tasks to digital devices. B. Improving cognitive abilities through technology. C. Reducing screen time to protect mental health. D. Organizing information in a more efficient way. 13. What can we learn about the study mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It lasted for more than three years. B. It included over 500 college students. C. It showed offloading affects memory negatively. D. It proved digital devices improve test performance. 14. What is experts’ attitude toward digital devices? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cognitive Abilities: A Key to Brain Health B. Digital Technology: A Double-edged Sword C. Cognitive Offloading: A Hidden Mental Risk D. Active Thinking: A Way to Improve Memory D. Active Thinking: A Way to Improve Memory 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） Bullying (霸凌) is a serious problem. It can make kids feel hurt, scared, sick, lonely, embarrassed and sad.

I was on my second outdoor experience trip that every student had to go on. That year, we had a choice of what difficulty level we wanted: one through five. My friends and I had agreed that one would make us seem lazy and that challenging ourselves would make for a good story. In choosing level two, we believed that it would still be a fun experience. We were quickly proven wrong. The further we drove into the White Mountains, the higher the walls on either side of the winding highway grew. I was still in awe of the mountains I had seen so many times before, but I couldn’t help feeling my heart shaking with anxiety. Soon I would have to leave the school bus that brought 50 students out into the wilderness like every year before. My group consisted of my friends, Riley and Ann, and six extremely athletic boys. We arrived at base camp lodge (木屋) first. After putting things aside and rearranging our bags, we made our way out into the wilderness. The three of us girls were questioning if this was really a level two. The path was unbelievably steep (陡峭) and rocky toward the top of the mountain where the first hut was located. We were practically jogging in an attempt to keep up with the boys ahead of us. Before the trip, we were told to take breaks as often as we needed to drink water, but that wasn’t helping our pounding hearts and heavy breathing as much as it should have. Then, 30 minutes into the most difficult hike the three of us had ever done, Riley slipped and landed on her knee. After a few moments, we turned back down the mountain as it was decided that Riley could not make the trip with us. We sat on the grass outside the lodge where we had started while Riley was brought inside to join the level one group. Ann and I exchanged breathless glances, our cheeks red and wet with sweat. 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。 “Do you think we should ask if we could join the level one group too?” I asked Ann. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next days, although extremely tired, we kept on. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 辽宁省实验中学2027届高二下学期第一次月考 英语试卷 （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：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。每段录音读两遍。 1.

He aims to set up even more fog harvesters, and to treat the water to make it drinkable. “The planet has less and less fresh water,” Cruz points out, “because the glaciers that are natural reservoirs are disappearing. So we must find a way to accumulate and save water for times of drought.” The technology is life-changing for the poor households who normally have to rely on water tanks being delivered to them. His approach ends extreme poverty and brings rural development. Moreover, he is trying to bring healthy and clean water also to urban areas lacking water. 4. Why does the author mention Cruz’s childhood experience in paragraph 2? A. To illustrate the urgency of reducing poverty. B. To highlight his responsibility for the family. C. To trace the origin of Cruz’s great invention. D. To stress Lima’s terrible geographical conditions. 5. What do we know about Cruz’s invention? A. It was inspired from subtropical plants. B. It used collection tanks to condense water. C. It lowered costs in building irrigation channels. D. It solved the drinking water issue with fog harvesters. 6. What may Abel Cruz’s efforts lead to? A. Guaranteeing crop harvests in Peru. B. Promoting the recycle of water resources. C. Ending poverty by improving traditional farming. D. Improving the life quality for people in water-stressed areas. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage? A. To describe the functions of an innovative fog-catcher. B. To call people’s attention to the worsening water crisis. C. To seek more support in raising funds for water collection. D. To introduce Abel Cruz’s invention and its great significance. 【答案】4. C 5. A 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是新闻报道。这篇文章主要报道了一位名叫Abel Cruz的工业工程师如何通过观察和思考，利用利马的湿度和雾气，设计了一种捕雾网来收集水分，解决了当地水资源匮乏的问题。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“When industrial engineer Abel Cruz was a boy, his weekly work was to climb down a valley in the foothills of the Peruvian Andes to fetch the family’s water from a spring. “It was downhill from the house, far away and steep,” he says. Cruz began dreaming up better ways to collect water.(当工业工程师阿贝尔·克鲁兹还是个孩子的时候，他每周的工作是爬下秘鲁安第斯山脉山麓的一个山谷，从一个泉里取家里的水。他说：“从房子开始就是下坡路，又远又陡。”克鲁兹开始设想更好的取水方法)”可知，本段提到Cruz的童年经历是为了追寻克鲁兹伟大发明的起源。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Then he noticed that subtropical plants capture rain and mist with their wide leaves. Actually Lima doesn’t lack in humidity (湿度), averaging 83% year-round. Located in the foothills of the Andean mountains, it is close to the Pacific Ocean, which ensures that blankets of dense fog roll in for three-quarters of a year. Eventually, Abel Cruz struck upon the idea of a fog net.(然后他注意到亚热带植物用它们宽大的叶子捕捉雨和雾。事实上，利马并不缺乏湿度，全年平均湿度为83%。它位于安第斯山脉的山脚下，靠近太平洋，这确保了一年四分之三的时间里，浓雾滚滚。最终，阿贝尔·克鲁兹想到了一个雾网的主意)”可知，Cruz的发明的灵感来自亚热带植物。故选A项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The technology is life-changing for the poor households who normally have to rely on water tanks being delivered to them. His approach ends extreme poverty and brings rural development.(这项技术改变了贫困家庭的生活，这些家庭通常不得不依靠运送给他们的水箱。他的方法结束了极端贫困，带来了农村发展)”可推知，亚伯·克鲁兹的努力会改善缺水地区人民的生活质量。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Each upraised net is 20 square metres, where micro-droplets of water suspended in the foggy atmosphere condense (凝结) and drip down into collection tanks. Approximately 200 to 400 litres of water is collected daily from each net. Locals can fetch it in buckets for small-scale farming. Working in Lima with support from the Creating Water Foundation, Cruz has installed over 3, 600 nets on hillsides around the city to capture fog drifting in from the Pacific Ocean.(每个升起的网有20平方米，悬浮在雾蒙蒙的空气中的微水滴凝结后滴入集水罐。每天从每个净水器中收集大约200至400升水。当地人可以把它装在桶里，用于小规模农业。在利马创造水基金会的支持下，克鲁兹在城市周围的山坡上安装了3600多张网，以捕捉从太平洋飘来的雾)”以及纵观全文可知，本文主要介绍阿贝尔·克鲁兹的发明及其重大意义。故选D项。 C One of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees (猩猩) is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment. Last year, we began inviting musicians to perform for chimps to see what they may respond. A violin performance received quite the response. Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope to resume in the near future. This past week, we brought an electric piano for the chimps to investigate. Some chimps, like twins Buttercup and Clarisse, were immediately interested and could not wait to tap out a few notes. Others, like Emma, were more interested in trying to take it apart. 29-year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. Receiving her message loud and clear, we removed the piano. We could never have guessed how 33-year-old Luke would react to it. As with many retired lab chimpanzees, Luke has some anxiety issues. He seems particularly distrustful of anything new, including people, food, and enrichment. But when we presented the chimps with the piano, Luke was the first to investigate. We could not believe our eyes—this usually anxious chimpanzee bravely chose to explore something new! To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey. 8. Why do chimpanzees respond differently to new enrichment? A. They are of different genders. B. They have natural curiosities. C. They are as intelligent as humans. D. They have their unique characters. 9. Who showed the least interest in the piano? A. Buttercup and Clarisse. B. Emma. C. Precious. D. Luke. 10. What does the underlined word “resume” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Continue. B. Suspend. C. Monitor. D. Regulate. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. How caregivers care for the retired chimpanzees. B. What care staff do to enrich chimpanzees’ daily life. C. How chimpanzees are trained through various enrichment. D. What Project Chimps does to observe and study wild chimps. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了“黑猩猩计划”的护理人员如何通过各种方法丰富黑猩猩的生活的故事。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句“With 79 chimpanzees, each with their distinctive personality, care staff often find that different chimps react differently to new enrichment. (有79只黑猩猩，每只都有各自独特的个性，护理人员经常发现，不同的黑猩猩对新事物的反应不同)”可知，每只猩猩都有自己独特的个性，所以对新事物会有不同的反应；选项D意为“他们有自己独特的性格”，与原文相符。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段前三句的“29-year-old Precious has very little tolerance for the piano. She sat off to the side for a few minutes, but eventually she decided that was enough. She called an end to the enrichment session by throwing a handful of waste at the piano. (29岁的Precious对钢琴的承受力很小。她在一旁坐了几分钟，但最后她觉得已经够了。她向钢琴扔了几个垃圾，以此结束了丰富的演奏)”可知，Precious对钢琴最不感兴趣。故选C项。 【10题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词所在句“Additional musicians were lined up to visit but the coronavirus has stopped the activities, which we hope to resume in the near future. (更多的音乐家排队等着来为黑猩猩们演奏，但冠状病毒已经导致这个活动停止了，我们希望在不久的将来恢复这个活动)”，可知这个让音乐家给猩猩演奏乐器的活动因为新冠病毒被迫中止，但是我们希望在不久的将来能恢复这个活动，即继续进行这个活动。选项A意为“继续”，与原文相符。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段前两句“One of the greatest challenges in caring for such intelligent animals as chimpanzees (猩猩) is providing them with enriching experiences. Every day, the chimpanzees at Project Chimps receive morning and evening food-based enrichment devices, but caregivers are always looking for more ways to keep the chimps mentally engaged. (照顾像黑猩猩这样聪明的动物最大的挑战之一是为他们提供丰富的生活体验。每天，“黑猩猩计划”的黑猩猩都会收到早晚的伴随食物一起的丰富体验，但护理人员总是在寻找更多的方法让黑猩猩保持精神状态)”，以及最后一段“To us at Project Chimps, this is what it is all about: giving chimpanzees the freedom to choose. We are honored to be part of their journey. (对于从事黑猩猩计划的我们来说，这就是它的全部意义：给予黑猩猩选择的自由。我们很荣幸能成为他们旅程的一部分)”可知，本文主要讲述了参与“黑猩猩计划”的护理人员为了丰富黑猩猩的生活而采取的各种措施；选项B意为“护理人员如何丰富黑猩猩的日常生活”，与原文相符。故选B项。 D Digital technology has deeply transformed how we acquire and process information, but it has also brought a less recognized challenge: cognitive offloading. The term refers to our tendency to rely heavily on digital devices to store knowledge, remember plans, and even make judgments, rather than using our own mental capacity. While convenient in the short term, growing evidence suggests that excessive cognitive offloading may gradually weaken our fundamental cognitive abilities, especially memory and critical thinking. Many people take it for granted that they can search for any information within seconds, so there is no need to memorize facts or figures. A recent study conducted by a team of European psychologists supported this concern. The research tracked 360 college students over two academic years. Students who constantly used digital devices to store routine information and avoid memorization performed significantly worse in tests measuring working memory and logical reasoning than those who preferred to remember key information manually. More alarmingly, the decline was not temporary; it tended to persist even when participants tried to rely on their own memory again. Researchers explain that human memory is like a muscle: it strengthens with use and weakens with disuse. When we constantly outsource thinking to digital tools, our brain does not fully engage in encoding and storing information. Over time, this reduces the brain’s ability to focus, process complex problems, and form deep, long-lasting memories. However, experts do not advocate completely abandoning digital devices. Instead, they suggest a balanced approach: use technology as a supplement, not a replacement, for mental activity. The key is to maintain active cognitive engagement. For example, people can try to remember directions before checking a map, or recall important schedules before turning to a calendar app. By consciously reducing unnecessary cognitive offloading, individuals can protect and even improve their mental abilities while still enjoying the benefits of modern technology. As digital dependence continues to rise, finding this balance becomes increasingly vital for long-term cognitive health. 12. What does the phrase “cognitive offloading” (in Para. 1) most probably mean? A. Transferring memory tasks to digital devices. B. Improving cognitive abilities through technology. C. Reducing screen time to protect mental health. D. Organizing information in a more efficient way. 13. What can we learn about the study mentioned in Paragraph 2? A. It lasted for more than three years. B. It included over 500 college students. C. It showed offloading affects memory negatively. D. It proved digital devices improve test performance. 14. What is experts’ attitude toward digital devices? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Cognitive Abilities: A Key to Brain Health B. Digital Technology: A Double-edged Sword C. Cognitive Offloading: A Hidden Mental Risk D. Active Thinking: A Way to Improve Memory 【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍认知卸载这一现象，说明过度依赖数字设备存储信息会削弱记忆力与思维能力，并给出平衡建议。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段中的“The term refers to our tendency to rely heavily on digital devices to store knowledge, remember plans, and even make judgments, rather than using our own mental capacity.(该术语指我们倾向于高度依赖数字设备来存储知识、记住计划甚至做出判断，而不是使用我们自身的心智能力。)”可知，认知卸载就是把记忆等认知任务转移给数字设备，因此该短语意为“将记忆任务转移到数字设备上”。故选A项。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Students who constantly used digital devices to store routine information and avoid memorization performed significantly worse in tests measuring working memory and logical reasoning than those who preferred to remember key information manually.(经常使用数字设备存储日常信息、回避记忆的学生，在测量工作记忆和逻辑推理的测试中，表现明显不如那些习惯手动记忆关键信息的学生。)”可知，该研究表明认知卸载对记忆力有负面影响。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“However, experts do not advocate completely abandoning digital devices. Instead, they suggest a balanced approach: use technology as a supplement, not a replacement, for mental activity.(然而，专家并不主张完全抛弃数字设备。相反，他们建议采取平衡的方式：将技术作为心智活动的补充，而非替代。)”可知，专家既指出危害也不否定其作用，对数字设备持客观态度。故选B项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“While convenient in the short term, growing evidence suggests that excessive cognitive offloading may gradually weaken our fundamental cognitive abilities, especially memory and critical thinking.(尽管短期方便，但越来越多的证据表明，过度的认知卸载可能逐渐削弱我们的基本认知能力，尤其是记忆力和批判性思维。)”可知，文章围绕认知卸载展开，全文核心是揭示过度认知卸载对大脑认知能力的潜在危害，因此“认知卸载：一种隐藏的心理风险”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。故选C项。 D.

I was on my second outdoor experience trip that every student had to go on. That year, we had a choice of what difficulty level we wanted: one through five. My friends and I had agreed that one would make us seem lazy and that challenging ourselves would make for a good story. In choosing level two, we believed that it would still be a fun experience. We were quickly proven wrong. The further we drove into the White Mountains, the higher the walls on either side of the winding highway grew. I was still in awe of the mountains I had seen so many times before, but I couldn’t help feeling my heart shaking with anxiety. Soon I would have to leave the school bus that brought 50 students out into the wilderness like every year before. My group consisted of my friends, Riley and Ann, and six extremely athletic boys. We arrived at base camp lodge (木屋) first. After putting things aside and rearranging our bags, we made our way out into the wilderness. The three of us girls were questioning if this was really a level two. The path was unbelievably steep (陡峭) and rocky toward the top of the mountain where the first hut was located. We were practically jogging in an attempt to keep up with the boys ahead of us. Before the trip, we were told to take breaks as often as we needed to drink water, but that wasn’t helping our pounding hearts and heavy breathing as much as it should have. Then, 30 minutes into the most difficult hike the three of us had ever done, Riley slipped and landed on her knee. After a few moments, we turned back down the mountain as it was decided that Riley could not make the trip with us. We sat on the grass outside the lodge where we had started while Riley was brought inside to join the level one group. Ann and I exchanged breathless glances, our cheeks red and wet with sweat. 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。 “Do you think we should ask if we could join the level one group too?” I asked Ann. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The next days, although extremely tired, we kept on. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: “Do you think we should ask if we could join the level one group too?” I asked Ann. “I know you won’t,” she breathed out. “I won’t!” I said to myself, looking at the awesome mountains in the distance. Then we started up the steep and rocky path again, attempting to keep up with the boys. Our bags felt heavier; legs burned; backs hurt; tears threatened to spill over our sweat-covered eyes. I wanted nothing more than to turn back and leave right then and there. But, I couldn’t; I didn’t want to be someone who gave up easily. Paragraph 2: The next days, although extremely tired, we kept on. Ann and I still found ourselves lagging behind the boys. Instead of embarrassment, I felt as though I was gaining more out of the trip than anyone else. As the boys ran, Ann and I hung back and took breaks, drinking water and admiring the deep green valleys from high above. Level two was fun, too. And eventually we made it to the destination. Facing the beautiful views in front of us, I exchanged a glance with Ann, both of us beaming. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者和朋友参加远足活动。为了挑战自己，他们选择了二级小组，途中遇到了很多困难，一度想要放弃。但是作者和朋友互相鼓励，不愿意放弃，最终虽然筋疲力尽，但是到达了目的地。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我问安：“你认为我们应该问一下我们是否也可以加入一级小组吗？””可知，第一段可描写作者和朋友相互鼓励，不愿意放弃。 ②由第二段首句内容“接下来的几天，虽然筋疲力尽，我们还是继续。”可知，第二段可描写作者和朋友继续前行直至目的地。 2.续写线索：选择二级小组——遇到困难——想要退缩——咬牙坚持——到达目的地 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①加入：join/become a member of/be a part of ②继续：keep on/go on/continue ③成功：make it/succeed/ be victorious 情绪类 ①欣赏：admire/appreciate/enjoy ②开心：beam/smile/ be delighted 【点睛】[高分句型1]“I won’t!” I said to myself, looking at the awesome mountains in the distance.（现在分词作伴随状语） [高分句型2] I didn’t want to be someone who gave up easily. （由关系代词who引导的定语从句） [高分句型3] As the boys ran, Ann and I hung back and took breaks, drinking water and admiring the deep green valleys from high above.（as引导的时间状语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
