One quiet morning on Oct. 31, Samuel’s mother Diana left him napping in his bed and stepped out for a moment. Unnoticed, the baby woke up, crawled out of the bed, and made his way toward the open staircase, unaware of the 12 steep steps ahead. Gatubela, who’d napped on the nearby sofa, spotted the danger in an instant. The cat, just two months older than Samuel and a beloved family member since she was a tiny kitten, sprang into action. She leaped off the sofa, rushed across the living room, and wrapped her front paws around Samuel’s body, stopping him right at the stair edge. When the confused baby tried to move forward again, Gatubela stepped in front of him, gently patting his legs with her paw to guide him back to safety, keeping a careful eye on him until he crawled away from the danger. Diana later checked the CCTV (闭路电视) to find out how Samuel escaped his bed, only to discover Gatubela’s brave act. Shocked and grateful, she said the cat had saved her son’s life. The heartwarming video quickly went popular online, with people praising Gatubela as a real-life “Catwoman” and the incredible bond between the cat and the baby. 4.

AI-powered sensors and satellites monitor air and water quality in real time in both crowded cities and remote mountainous or coastal areas, collecting information on contaminants such as carbon dioxide and industrial waste that do harm to the ecological balance. AI systems then analyze the data quickly and accurately to find hidden pollution sources, discover slow environmental change trends and warn people of possible risks, which helps governments take scientific and targeted measures to reduce environmental damage in time. Waste management also gets great benefits from AI technology. Smart robots that are equipped with machine learning functions can sort recyclable waste more accurately and efficiently than human workers. AI can also design the most scientific waste collection routes by considering real-time traffic conditions, waste generation density and collection time, thus cutting down on fuel use and carbon emissions from waste collection cars. AI also provides accurate early warnings for natural disasters like wildfires and floods by analyzing large amounts of weather, land and vegetation data, allowing local communities and conservation teams to make full and careful preparations in advance and reduce ecological and human losses. With its unique ability, AI makes environmental protection work smarter, more scientific and more efficient. It breaks the traditional limits of human monitoring and slow data analysis, and brings great hope for building a greener and more sustainable world, as well as protecting the earth for the generations to come. 8. What does the underlined word “contaminants” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Harmful materials. B. Useful data. C. Satellite monitors. D. Energy sources. 9. Which of the following is the correct role of AI according to the text? A. It takes measures to reduce environmental damage. B. It cuts down the use of waste collection cars. C. It makes preparations in advance for natural disasters. D. It breaks the traditional limits of manual monitoring. 10. What can we infer about AI in the last paragraph? A. It will replace all the human monitoring. B. It will bring more benefits. C. It still has a long way to go. D. It will be used only in remote areas. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Advantages of AI-powered Sensors and Satellites B. AI: A Powerful Tool for Environmental Protection C. How AI Predicts Natural Disasters Accurately D. The Future of Environmental Protection 【答案】8. A 9. D 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍人工智能在环保领域的重要作用，可实时监测污染、优化垃圾处理、预警自然灾害，突破人工局限，让环保更科学高效，为地球绿色可持续发展带来希望。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“such as carbon dioxide and industrial waste that do harm to the ecological balance(例如二氧化碳以及工业废弃物，它们会对生态平衡造成破坏)”可知，指破坏生态的有害物质。故划线词意思是“有害物质”。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“It breaks the traditional limits of human monitoring and slow data analysis, and brings great hope for building a greener and more sustainable world, as well as protecting the earth for the generations to come.(它打破了人类监测和缓慢数据分析的传统限制，为构建一个更绿色、更可持续的世界以及为子孙后代保护地球带来了巨大的希望)”可知，打破了传统的人工检测限制是人工智能的正确作用。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“With its unique ability, AI makes environmental protection work smarter, more scientific and more efficient.

Recent studies show that how we produce and perceive sounds directly affects memory, attention, and the efficiency of learning new linguistic and cognitive skills. This connection runs through all stages of language development, from early childhood to adult language learning. When we speak, our brain activates motor areas to control mouth and vocal cord (声带) movements. This creates a clear link between sound and meaning, helping us better understand and store words in long-term memory. A Northwestern University study led by Dr. Nina Kraus found that participants recalled objects better when their names shared sound features. This shows a cross-linguistic sound connection that improves cognitive memory. Pronunciation also has a great influence on how we learn new languages. Better control of target language speech sounds improves working memory and accelerates language comprehension. For instance, infants as young as six months start linking human speech sounds to basic cognitive tasks like forming object categories and telling semantic differences apart. This early sound-cognition connection builds a foundation for later language use and thinking skills, shaping cognitive development from the very beginning of language acquisition. Moreover, clear and accurate pronunciation reduces cognitive load during communication. The brain spends far less energy decoding sound information and can use more cognitive resources to process and understand meaning. This explains why consistent pronunciation practice not only makes daily communication smoother but also strengthens overall cognitive abilities, including critical thinking and information processing in daily tasks. 12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By presenting findings. B. By listing specific data. C. By giving an example. D. By making contrast. 13. What did Dr. Nina Kraus’ team find in the study? A. Words with similar sounds are hard to recall. B. Similar sounds help remember objects. C. Our brain controls mouth and vocal cord movements. D. Kids link speech sounds to cognitive tasks easily. 14. Why does the author take infants as an example in paragraph 3? A. To prove infants have better language learning ability. B. To show how infants form object categories. C. To explain sound control helps memory and comprehension. D. To discuss the difficulty of learning a new language. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Pronunciation affects memory ability. B. Linguistic skills have an influence on cognition. C. The value of good pronunciation. D. The connection between pronunciation and cognition. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. C 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了发音与认知之间的紧密联系及其在语言处理、学习和交流中的重要作用。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Recent studies show that how we produce and perceive sounds directly affects memory, attention, and the efficiency of learning new linguistic and cognitive skills.(最近的研究表明，我们如何产生和感知声音直接影响记忆、注意力以及学习新的语言和认知技能的效率)”可知，作者通过展示研究发现来引入文章主题。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“A Northwestern University study led by Dr. Nina Kraus found that participants recalled objects better when their names shared sound features.(西北大学由Nina Kraus博士领导的一项研究发现，当物体的名字有相似的发音特征时，参与者能更好地记住这些物体)”可知，Nina Kraus博士的团队在研究中发现相似的声音有助于记住物体。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Pronunciation also has a great influence on how we learn new languages. Better control of target language speech sounds improves working memory and accelerates language comprehension. For instance, infants as young as six months start linking human speech sounds to basic cognitive tasks like forming object categories and telling semantic differences apart. (发音对我们学习新语言也有很大的影响。更好地控制目标语言的语音可以提高工作记忆，加速语言理解。例如，6个月大的婴儿就开始将人类语音与基本的认知任务联系起来，比如形成物体类别和区分语义差异)”可推知，作者以婴儿为例是为了解释语音控制有助于记忆和理解。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Pronunciation and cognition are closely linked in human language processing. Recent studies show that how we produce and perceive sounds directly affects memory, attention, and the efficiency of learning new linguistic and cognitive skills. This connection runs through all stages of language development, from early childhood to adult language learning.(在人类语言处理中，发音和认知是紧密相连的。最近的研究表明，我们如何产生和感知声音直接影响记忆、注意力以及学习新的语言和认知技能的效率。这种联系贯穿于语言发展的所有阶段，从儿童早期到成人语言学习)”以及全文可知，文章主要讲述了发音与认知之间的紧密联系及其在语言处理、学习和交流中的重要作用。可知，D选项“发音与认知的联系”最符合文章主旨。 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。 In Western societies, taking a gap year between high school and university has developed from a special choice to a widely discussed practice. Unlike the simple “good or bad” judgment, educators, parents, students focus on aspects like practical challenges, individual adaptability, and long-term impacts. ____16____ Supporters of the gap year stress its special value in connecting academic learning and real life. ____17____ Educators who support this practice also note that many students enter university with unclear academic goals. A gap year allows them to explore their interests, adjust their career directions, and return to campus with more focus and motivation, which improves their academic involvement and graduation rates. ____18____ A key worry is the break of academic development: many students, after a year away from formal study, find it hard to re-adapt to the difficulty of university courses, leading to lower grades in their first year or even longer time to graduate. ____19____ Travel, accommodation, and living expenses are too expensive, making the gap of educational inequality wider. Some critics also point out that unplanned gap years often become aimless time-wasting. Students may get little meaningful experience but falling behind their peers in studies. ____20____ It is about how it is planned and who it is for. Most researchers agree that the value of the gap year depends on many factors together: family support, individual self-management ability, and the quality of the activities chosen, rather than a solution that fits all young people moving from high school to university. A. In conclusion, gap year is not needed by everyone. B. The core of the debate is never about the gap year itself. C. The debate is far more complex than a one-sided conclusion. D. Critics, however, point out the possible risks and inequalities of the gap year. E. Many students and parents are worried about the increasing cost of the school fee. F. They argue that well-planned gap year activities help students develop practical skills. G. Additionally, the gap year often brings financial pressure for many low-income families. 【答案】16. C 17. F 18. D 19. G 20. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了在西方社会，高中与大学之间的间隔年从特殊选择变为广泛讨论的做法，各方对此存在复杂争议。 【16题详解】 上文“Unlike the simple “good or bad” judgment, educators, parents, students focus on aspects like practical challenges, individual adaptability, and long-term impacts.(与简单的“好或坏”的判断不同，教育工作者、家长和学生关注的是实际挑战、个人适应能力和长期影响等方面)”说明间隔年的讨论很复杂，不是简单的“好或坏”的判断。空处和前文为顺接关系，进一步说明这种讨论的复杂性。所以C项“这场争论远比片面的结论复杂。”符合语境。 【17题详解】 上文“Supporters of the gap year stress its special value in connecting academic learning and real life.(间隔年的支持者强调它在连接学术学习和现实生活方面的特殊价值)”说明支持者认为间隔年有特殊价值，空处应进一步阐述这种价值。所以F项“他们认为，精心规划的间隔年活动有助于学生培养实践技能。”符合语境，该项中的They指代前文中的“Supporters of the gap year”。 【18题详解】 上文主要阐述了间隔年支持者的观点，下文“A key worry is the break of academic development: many students, after a year away from formal study, find it hard to re-adapt to the difficulty of university courses, leading to lower grades in their first year or even longer time to graduate.(一个关键的担忧是学术发展的中断：许多学生在脱离正规学习一年后，发现很难重新适应大学课程的难度，导致第一年成绩较低，甚至毕业时间更长)”开始讲述间隔年的弊端。空处为段落总起句，起到转折引出反对观点的作用。所以D项“然而，批评者指出了间隔年潜在的风险与不公平问题”符合语境。 【19题详解】 上文“A key worry is the break of academic development: many students, after a year away from formal study, find it hard to re-adapt to the difficulty of university courses, leading to lower grades in their first year or even longer time to graduate.(一个主要的担忧是学术发展的中断：许多学生在离开正式学习一年后，发现很难重新适应大学课程的难度，导致第一年成绩下降，甚至毕业时间更长)”说明间隔年存在学术发展中断的问题，下文“Travel, accommodation, and living expenses are too expensive, making the gap of educational inequality wider.(旅行、住宿和生活费用太贵，使得教育不平等差距扩大)”说明间隔年存在经济方面的问题，空处应进一步阐述经济问题。所以G项“此外，间隔年常常给许多低收入家庭带来经济压力。”符合语境。 【20题详解】 下文“It is about how it is planned and who it is for. Most researchers agree that the value of the gap year depends on many factors together: family support, individual self-management ability, and the quality of the activities chosen, rather than a solution that fits all young people moving from high school to university.(这是关于它是如何规划的以及它是为谁而设的。大多数研究人员一致认为，间隔年的价值取决于许多因素：家庭支持、个人自我管理能力和所选活动的质量，而不是适合所有从高中升入大学的年轻人的解决方案)”点明间隔年的核心不在于自身好坏。空处总领段落主旨，所以B项“争论的核心从来不是间隔年本身”与后文内容呼应，衔接自然。 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。 I have always enjoyed cold climates and nature.

She had begged her parents countless times, but they always shook their heads firmly. Her parents, especially her father Cronus, were worried that a phone would distract her from studies — her grades had already slipped a little recently, and they didn’t want it to get worse. Their relationship had become strained because of this. Every time Lillian brought up the phone, Cronus would frown (皱眉) and start talking about the importance of study, while Lillian would stamp (跺) her feet in anger and lock herself in the room. She felt her parents didn’t understand her — all her friends had phones, and she was the only one left out. One evening, after Lillian had quietly mentioned the phone again and fallen silent in disappointment, Cronus knocked on her door. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I want to give you a gift tomorrow morning.” Lillian’s heart jumped. Could it be a phone? She had been dreaming of it for weeks, even imagining how she would show it to her friends. The next day at school, she told her friend Maya, “My dad’s giving me a gift tonight. I bet it’s the new iPhone!” Maya raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? Don’t get your hopes up too high. My cousin begged her parents for a phone, too, and they gave her a Brick instead — it’s that boring device that blocks all social apps and only lets you make calls.” 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。 Hearing the words, Lillian’s smile faded (逐渐消失). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Lillian came to school the next day, she told Maya what she got last night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Hearing the words, Lillian’s smile faded (逐渐消失). A cold feeling spread from her chest to her fingertips, and she stared at the desk in silence. Maya’s words kept repeating in her mind — what if her dad really gave her a Brick? She thought about how she had imagined showing off her new phone to her friends, and her eyes stung a little. The whole afternoon, she couldn’t focus on her lessons, counting down the minutes to go home, yet uneasy about the moment she opened the gift. When Lillian came to school the next day, she told Maya what she got last night. “It was neither an iPhone nor a Brick,” she said, taking out a letter. “My dad wrote it to me, saying he knows I feel left out. He promised that if I get back my good grades in the midterm exam, he’ll buy me the phone I want.” Maya patted her shoulder gently, smiling. “That’s way better than a Brick! Your dad really cares about you — this is a gift full of love.” Lillian nodded, a warm smile finally returning to her face. 【解析】 【导语】本文以莉莉安渴望拥有一部手机为线索展开，讲述了她曾多次向父母请求却遭到拒绝，导致家庭关系紧张。某天晚上父亲承诺第二天送她一份礼物，莉莉安满怀期待。朋友玛雅告诉她，表妹也曾有相同请求，结果只得到了一部“板砖”手机。莉莉安听后开始担心自己的礼物也会令人失望。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“听到这话，莉莉安的笑容逐渐消失了。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉安听到玛雅的话后的心理活动，她开始担心而无法集中注意力。 ②由第二段首句内容“第二天莉莉安来上学，她告诉玛雅昨晚得到了什么。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉安向玛雅描述她收到的礼物及朋友的安慰。 2.续写线索：听到消息心生担忧——整个下午心神不宁——回家后收到礼物——第二天向朋友讲述——朋友安慰和肯定 3.词汇激活 行为类： ①想象：imagine/picture ②盯着看：stare at/gaze at/fix her eyes on ③拿出：takeout/pull out 情绪类： ①一言不发：in silence/in stillness/without a word ②温暖的笑容：a warm smile/a smile like sunshine 【点睛】[高分句型1] She thought about how she had imagined showing off her new phone to her friends, and her eyes stung a little.（由how引导的宾语从句作thought about的宾语） [高分句型2] He promised that if I get back my good grades in the midterm exam, he’ll buy me the phone I want.（由that引导宾语从语作promised的宾语，由if引导条件状语从句，句末由that引导定语从句省略that） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年第二学期期中学情诊断 高二英语试卷 考生注意： 1．本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2．答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3．考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4．本卷命题范围：选择性必修第一册~选择性必修第二册。 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

Here are four must-visit coastal parks that perfectly capture the spirit of New Zealand. Abel Tasman National Park (South Island) This coastal paradise is famous for its golden beaches and crystal-clear waters. The park’s visitor center in Marahau keeps a rare collection of Māori coastal artifacts, including a well-preserved 19th-century boat, once used by local tribes for coastal trade and cultural ceremonies. Akaroa Harbour (South Island) Akaroa Harbour is a peaceful sheltered bay shaped by ancient volcanic activity with gentle waters and rolling green hills. The charming town center is famous for local cultural restaurants, and with the colorful French-style buildings on the coast. Bay of Islands (North Island) This breathtaking region of over 140 subtropical islands is a true heaven for diverse marine life. Visitors can swim with dolphins, explore historic landmarks like the Waitangi Treaty Grounds, and wander the quiet streets of the small town of Paihia. But the best part is kina, a fresh local food served at cozy waterfront cafes with ocean views. Coromandel Peninsula (North Island) This relaxing North Island coastal spot is well-known for Cathedral Cove’s famous natural arch and Hot Water Beach.

B In Bogotá, Colombia, a heroic Siamese cat named Gatubela became an internet star after saving one-year-old Samuel from a deadly fall down a steep flight of stairs. One quiet morning on Oct. 31, Samuel’s mother Diana left him napping in his bed and stepped out for a moment. Unnoticed, the baby woke up, crawled out of the bed, and made his way toward the open staircase, unaware of the 12 steep steps ahead. Gatubela, who’d napped on the nearby sofa, spotted the danger in an instant. The cat, just two months older than Samuel and a beloved family member since she was a tiny kitten, sprang into action. She leaped off the sofa, rushed across the living room, and wrapped her front paws around Samuel’s body, stopping him right at the stair edge. When the confused baby tried to move forward again, Gatubela stepped in front of him, gently patting his legs with her paw to guide him back to safety, keeping a careful eye on him until he crawled away from the danger. Diana later checked the CCTV (闭路电视) to find out how Samuel escaped his bed, only to discover Gatubela’s brave act. Shocked and grateful, she said the cat had saved her son’s life. The heartwarming video quickly went popular online, with people praising Gatubela as a real-life “Catwoman” and the incredible bond between the cat and the baby. 4.

AI-powered sensors and satellites monitor air and water quality in real time in both crowded cities and remote mountainous or coastal areas, collecting information on contaminants such as carbon dioxide and industrial waste that do harm to the ecological balance. AI systems then analyze the data quickly and accurately to find hidden pollution sources, discover slow environmental change trends and warn people of possible risks, which helps governments take scientific and targeted measures to reduce environmental damage in time. Waste management also gets great benefits from AI technology. Smart robots that are equipped with machine learning functions can sort recyclable waste more accurately and efficiently than human workers. AI can also design the most scientific waste collection routes by considering real-time traffic conditions, waste generation density and collection time, thus cutting down on fuel use and carbon emissions from waste collection cars. AI also provides accurate early warnings for natural disasters like wildfires and floods by analyzing large amounts of weather, land and vegetation data, allowing local communities and conservation teams to make full and careful preparations in advance and reduce ecological and human losses. With its unique ability, AI makes environmental protection work smarter, more scientific and more efficient. It breaks the traditional limits of human monitoring and slow data analysis, and brings great hope for building a greener and more sustainable world, as well as protecting the earth for the generations to come. 8. What does the underlined word “contaminants” in paragraph 1 refer to? A. Harmful materials. B. Useful data. C. Satellite monitors. D. Energy sources. 9. Which of the following is the correct role of AI according to the text? A. It takes measures to reduce environmental damage. B. It cuts down the use of waste collection cars. C. It makes preparations in advance for natural disasters. D. It breaks the traditional limits of manual monitoring. 10. What can we infer about AI in the last paragraph? A. It will replace all the human monitoring. B. It will bring more benefits. C. It still has a long way to go. D. It will be used only in remote areas. 11. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Advantages of AI-powered Sensors and Satellites B. AI: A Powerful Tool for Environmental Protection C. How AI Predicts Natural Disasters Accurately D. The Future of Environmental Protection D Pronunciation and cognition are closely linked in human language processing. Recent studies show that how we produce and perceive sounds directly affects memory, attention, and the efficiency of learning new linguistic and cognitive skills. This connection runs through all stages of language development, from early childhood to adult language learning. When we speak, our brain activates motor areas to control mouth and vocal cord (声带) movements. This creates a clear link between sound and meaning, helping us better understand and store words in long-term memory. A Northwestern University study led by Dr. Nina Kraus found that participants recalled objects better when their names shared sound features. This shows a cross-linguistic sound connection that improves cognitive memory. Pronunciation also has a great influence on how we learn new languages. Better control of target language speech sounds improves working memory and accelerates language comprehension. For instance, infants as young as six months start linking human speech sounds to basic cognitive tasks like forming object categories and telling semantic differences apart. This early sound-cognition connection builds a foundation for later language use and thinking skills, shaping cognitive development from the very beginning of language acquisition. Moreover, clear and accurate pronunciation reduces cognitive load during communication. The brain spends far less energy decoding sound information and can use more cognitive resources to process and understand meaning. This explains why consistent pronunciation practice not only makes daily communication smoother but also strengthens overall cognitive abilities, including critical thinking and information processing in daily tasks. 12. How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By presenting findings. B. By listing specific data. C. By giving an example. D. By making contrast. 13. What did Dr. Nina Kraus’ team find in the study? A. Words with similar sounds are hard to recall. B. Similar sounds help remember objects. C. Our brain controls mouth and vocal cord movements. D. Kids link speech sounds to cognitive tasks easily. 14. Why does the author take infants as an example in paragraph 3? A. To prove infants have better language learning ability. B. To show how infants form object categories. C. To explain sound control helps memory and comprehension. D. To discuss the difficulty of learning a new language. 15. What is the main idea of the text? A. Pronunciation affects memory ability. B. Linguistic skills have an influence on cognition. C. The value of good pronunciation. D. The connection between pronunciation and cognition. 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。 In Western societies, taking a gap year between high school and university has developed from a special choice to a widely discussed practice. Unlike the simple “good or bad” judgment, educators, parents, students focus on aspects like practical challenges, individual adaptability, and long-term impacts. ____16____ Supporters of the gap year stress its special value in connecting academic learning and real life. ____17____ Educators who support this practice also note that many students enter university with unclear academic goals. A gap year allows them to explore their interests, adjust their career directions, and return to campus with more focus and motivation, which improves their academic involvement and graduation rates. ____18____ A key worry is the break of academic development: many students, after a year away from formal study, find it hard to re-adapt to the difficulty of university courses, leading to lower grades in their first year or even longer time to graduate. ____19____ Travel, accommodation, and living expenses are too expensive, making the gap of educational inequality wider.

She had begged her parents countless times, but they always shook their heads firmly. Her parents, especially her father Cronus, were worried that a phone would distract her from studies — her grades had already slipped a little recently, and they didn’t want it to get worse. Their relationship had become strained because of this. Every time Lillian brought up the phone, Cronus would frown (皱眉) and start talking about the importance of study, while Lillian would stamp (跺) her feet in anger and lock herself in the room. She felt her parents didn’t understand her — all her friends had phones, and she was the only one left out. One evening, after Lillian had quietly mentioned the phone again and fallen silent in disappointment, Cronus knocked on her door. “I’m sorry,” he said softly. “I want to give you a gift tomorrow morning.” Lillian’s heart jumped. Could it be a phone? She had been dreaming of it for weeks, even imagining how she would show it to her friends. The next day at school, she told her friend Maya, “My dad’s giving me a gift tonight. I bet it’s the new iPhone!” Maya raised an eyebrow. “Are you sure? Don’t get your hopes up too high. My cousin begged her parents for a phone, too, and they gave her a Brick instead — it’s that boring device that blocks all social apps and only lets you make calls.” 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。 Hearing the words, Lillian’s smile faded (逐渐消失). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Lillian came to school the next day, she told Maya what she got last night. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
