His love for art began in his childhood, under the guidance of his father, Albert Popa. Albert, one of NYC’s first graffiti (涂鸦) writers, later turned to traditional painting and passed on his skills to his son. This unique interaction of graffiti’s free spirit and the discipline of traditional painting shaped David’s artistic vision. His passion for street art and big wall paintings grew during his college years, where he experimented with wall paintings, combining urban art with the physical and temporary nature of his creations. In 2017-2018, David relocated to Finland, where he found inspiration in the raw beauty of the Nordic landscape. It was here that he pioneered his art form, creating large artworks using natural materials, such as chalk and earth pigments (颜料). Drawing inspiration from prehistoric cave drawings, David describes himself as a “paleo-painter”, continuing the ancient tradition of making art directly from the natural world around him. David’s work is a harmonious mix of anthropology (人类学), nature, and art. By using natural pigments and water sourced from his work sites, he creates pieces that connect with the earth. His creations are typically situated in remote, otherworldly locations, often on small islands in the Nordic region. These artworks are subject to nature, lasting from a few days to a few months before they are reclaimed by the environment. The impermanent nature of David’s work is central to his artistic philosophy. For instance, his first major project Ephemeral, created in 2020, featured the integration of art and nature, showing the short-lived beauty that defines David’s work. He wholeheartedly accepts the unpredictability of the natural world, including elements like bird droppings and sudden storms in his art. These interactions result in dynamic pieces that beautifully highlight the shortness of life, showing the beauty of impermanence, and reminding us to appreciate the momentary wonders of life. 4. What mainly influenced David Popa’s early artistic style? A. The traditional painting skills he learned in college. B. The combination of graffiti spirit and traditional painting. C. The beautiful natural environment of New York City. D. The prehistoric cave drawings he studied in his childhood. 5. What does the underlined word “paleo-painter” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A painter painting on ancient cave walls. B. A painter creating artworks on small islands. C. A painter using methods similar to early humans. D. A painter concentrating on Nordic landscapes. 6. What can we learn about David Popa’s works? A. They are usually protected and kept for a long time. B. They use natural materials found at the creation sites. C. They are mainly made in modern city centers. D. They are completed with the help of local people. 7. What is the key idea of David Popa’s artistic philosophy? A. Art should be created indoors to keep safe and clean. B. Artists should control every part of their works. C. The temporary beauty of art is valuable and meaningful. D. Urban art is better connected with people’s daily life. C Across Hawaii, what looks like a bad haircut on the landscape is marking the slow death of the coconut palm (椰子树), thanks to the coconut rhinoceros beetle (椰树犀牛甲虫) or CRB. Today, all that stands between the beetle and a palm-poor Hawaii is a small team of scientists, field crews and two trained dogs. The beetle was first detected in Hawaii on Dec. 23, 2013, at a golf course on Hickam AirForce Base. “But who was responsible is really hard to prove. You’d have to find the transported goods that came in years before we even knew the beetle was here,” said Keith Weiser, deputy incident commander for CRB Response. At first, the beetle population appeared to be under control. But in 2019, it began its great growth. “We basically lost control once it hit central Oahu,” said professor and investigator Michael Melzer. “With the tools we have, we’re not going to eliminate it on Oahu.” After that determination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) told the team to pull back to the ports in order to focus on stopping accidental beetle carriers there. When the beetle was discovered on Kauai in 2023, Dr. Melzer thought there was a chance of elimination. “But it turned out the beetle had already been widespread there,” he said. In May and July, beetles were discovered in two shipments on Lanai and were destroyed. On the Big Island, the team is trying to eliminate the beetle, which was found in March, before it’s too late. The state is stepping in to help. This spring, the Hawaii government provided $500,000 annually for the next two years to CRB Response. The same bill added “Biosecurity” to the name of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture in a show of urgency. “We should be prepared if there is no funding from the USDA,” Dr. Weiser said. Ultimately, the team can only delay the beetle’s spread. “We don’t have the resources to stop it,” he added. “We’ve just given people a few more good years with palms.” 8. Why does the author mention Keith Weiser’s words in paragraph 2? A. To stress the challenges of proving the beetle’s origin. B. To explain the beetle’s living habits. C. To describe the goods infected by the beetle. D. To introduce the beetle’s harm to palm trees. 9. The underlined word “elimination” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A. control B. spread C. removal D. study 10. What can be inferred about the CRB crisis in Hawaii from the passage? A. More financial support is needed to eliminate CRB. B. Hawaii government’s bill has no practical impact. C. The beetles haven’t spread to other places. D. More trained dogs are needed to deal with the beetles. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Rapid Spread of CRB Across Hawaiian Islands B. The Economic Impact of CRB on Hawaii’s Agriculture C. Scientists’ New Discoveries About CRB Control D. Hawaii’s Losing Battle Against the CRB D Once you’re stuffed from a big meal, most foods lose their appeal. But see a sweet treat and you might be ready to make room for more. Biology may explain this feeling, a new study led by neuroscientist Marielle Minere suggests. Minere first got curious about sugar cravings (渴望) while working with mice in an experiment. “When full, the mice wouldn’t eat normal food but would eat sugar. That really made us want to know what drives sugar cravings,” she recalls. So Minere’s team thought out a way to explore which parts of the brain might explain this. They put special proteins into a few parts of the mice’s brains. These proteins light up when brain cells are active. The researchers focused on a group of brain cells called the POMC. These cells are known to make mice — and people — feel full. The team wondered if the same cells might help drive sugar cravings. When an animal eats, the POMC cells send messages to other groups of brain cells that give a sense of feeling full. That feeling tells the animal to stop eating. When the mice were offered sugar, though, a different pathway out of the POMC lit up. “We found that the POMC cells are also quickly turned on when mice see signs of sugar,” says Minere. This pathway, she believes, acts as a sugar-craving circuit. It can overpower the fullness circuit. The sugar-craving circuit engages a part of the brain that signals rewards and pleasure. This, the researchers think, is what makes sweets so appealing. To test if people have the same sugar-craving brain circuit, Minere’s team designed another experiment. Volunteers agreed to lie in a brain scanner (扫描仪). It recorded brain activity as people were given water or sugar. When they got sugar, cells in their sugar-craving circuit lit up. This showed that the sugar-craving circuit exists in both mice and us. Minere believes there’s a reason why our brains crave sugar. Our ancient ancestors lived in a time when it was tougher to find food, she says. And sweet foods provide quick energy. So, Minere says, it’s not your fault if you can’t resist a sweet treat. Blame biology. 12. What inspired Minere to study sugar cravings? A. What is the way to help people lose weight. B. What stops mice from feeling full. C. Why people avoid foods after a big meal. D. Why mice still eat sugar when full. 13. What is the finding of Minere’s team about the POMC cells? A. They can be activated by the sight of sugar. B. They can drive mice to look for sugar. C. They can make the brain signal pleasure. D. They can change other types of brain cells. 14. Why do human brains crave sugar according to the study? A. Because sweet foods are more delicious than other foods. B. Because ancient humans needed quick energy from sugar. C. Because modern people have more sugar to eat. D. Because POMC cells stop working in modern humans. 15. What is Minere’s attitude towards people’s sugar cravings? A. Critical. B. Understanding. C. Doubtful. D. Subjective. 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。其中有两项多余。 Lifeguard chairs are essential lifesaving tools widely used in public swimming pools, coastal beaches, and water parks. ____16____ With thoughtful design features, they play a key role in ensuring water safety and helping lifeguards respond to emergencies promptly.

As an only child, Ruby saw Wanda as the older sister she’d never had — someone she admired deeply and wanted to copy in every way. Wanda was everything Ruby hoped to be: beautiful with long brown hair that fell in soft waves, smart enough to get perfect grades in every test, and a talented piano player who could make everyone in the room quiet with her music. She had a small group of close friends and an easy sense of style that made every clothes look great — nice, fun, and completely her own. Ruby, still in high school, paid close attention to every part of Wanda’s life, secretly hoping to go to the same university as her one day. Wanda knew Ruby admired her, and she found this love sweet, not annoying. For Christmas that year, she picked out a soft light-colored sweater with the golden logo of her university on it, knowing how much it would mean to Ruby. When Ruby opened the gift, her eyes lit up like stars; she hugged Wanda tightly, her voice shaking with happiness. She wore the sweater to school almost every day, even on warm days, as if it were a lucky thing that linked her to her dream. One afternoon, in a lively literature class, Ruby put up her hand quickly to answer a question about poems. The teacher, looking closely at her from the front, accidentally called her “Wanda”. “I’m so sorry, dear — you just look so much like her,” the teacher said, feeling upset. But Ruby smiled brightly, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear. “Don’t say sorry at all — I’m flattered (感到荣幸的),” she said, her chest filling with pride. She even joined the same after-school clubs Wanda had been in, from the speech team to the art club, trying hard to follow Wanda’s path. Sometimes classmates laughed at her for copying Wanda, saying she had no personality of her own. However, the truth was Ruby was different from Wanda. Ruby was more humorous and outgoing. Finally, the big day came. When Ruby was surfing the Internet for the college admission result, her hands shook so badly that she could hardly type her login information. She closed her eyes tightly, counting to three before slowly opening them. The screen showed “Congratulations! You’ve been accepted!”. Seeing that, she let out a cry of joy, tears running down her face. She called Wanda right away, her voice breaking with excitement as she thanked her for checking her application and cheering her on. The next day, Wanda took her to visit the campus, ready to show her the place that would soon be her new home. 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。 As they walked around the beautiful campus, Ruby felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that day, over a cup of coffee, Wanda said something that took Ruby by surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第二学期期中测试 高二英语试题 (考试时间：120分钟 总分：150分) 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有 10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

His love for art began in his childhood, under the guidance of his father, Albert Popa. Albert, one of NYC’s first graffiti (涂鸦) writers, later turned to traditional painting and passed on his skills to his son. This unique interaction of graffiti’s free spirit and the discipline of traditional painting shaped David’s artistic vision. His passion for street art and big wall paintings grew during his college years, where he experimented with wall paintings, combining urban art with the physical and temporary nature of his creations. In 2017-2018, David relocated to Finland, where he found inspiration in the raw beauty of the Nordic landscape. It was here that he pioneered his art form, creating large artworks using natural materials, such as chalk and earth pigments (颜料). Drawing inspiration from prehistoric cave drawings, David describes himself as a “paleo-painter”, continuing the ancient tradition of making art directly from the natural world around him. David’s work is a harmonious mix of anthropology (人类学), nature, and art. By using natural pigments and water sourced from his work sites, he creates pieces that connect with the earth. His creations are typically situated in remote, otherworldly locations, often on small islands in the Nordic region. These artworks are subject to nature, lasting from a few days to a few months before they are reclaimed by the environment. The impermanent nature of David’s work is central to his artistic philosophy. For instance, his first major project Ephemeral, created in 2020, featured the integration of art and nature, showing the short-lived beauty that defines David’s work. He wholeheartedly accepts the unpredictability of the natural world, including elements like bird droppings and sudden storms in his art. These interactions result in dynamic pieces that beautifully highlight the shortness of life, showing the beauty of impermanence, and reminding us to appreciate the momentary wonders of life. 4. What mainly influenced David Popa’s early artistic style? A. The traditional painting skills he learned in college. B. The combination of graffiti spirit and traditional painting. C. The beautiful natural environment of New York City. D. The prehistoric cave drawings he studied in his childhood. 5. What does the underlined word “paleo-painter” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. A painter painting on ancient cave walls. B. A painter creating artworks on small islands. C. A painter using methods similar to early humans. D. A painter concentrating on Nordic landscapes. 6. What can we learn about David Popa’s works? A. They are usually protected and kept for a long time. B. They use natural materials found at the creation sites. C. They are mainly made in modern city centers. D. They are completed with the help of local people. 7. What is the key idea of David Popa’s artistic philosophy? A. Art should be created indoors to keep safe and clean. B. Artists should control every part of their works. C. The temporary beauty of art is valuable and meaningful. D. Urban art is better connected with people’s daily life. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了艺术家David Popa的艺术成长经历、创作风格、作品特点以及其艺术哲学理念。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“This unique interaction of graffiti’s free spirit and the discipline of traditional painting shaped David’s artistic vision. (涂鸦的自由精神与传统绘画的严谨性之间的这种独特互动塑造了大卫的艺术视野。)”可知，涂鸦精神与传统绘画的结合主要影响了David Popa早期的艺术风格。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Drawing inspiration from prehistoric cave drawings, David describes himself as a “paleo-painter”, continuing the ancient tradition of making art directly from the natural world around him. (从史前洞穴壁画中汲取灵感，大卫称自己为“paleo-painter”，延续着直接从周围自然世界创造艺术的古老传统。)”可知，David从史前洞穴壁画中汲取灵感，称自己为“paleo-painter”，由此可推测“paleo-painter”指的是使用类似早期人类方法的画家。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“By using natural pigments and water sourced from his work sites, he creates pieces that connect with the earth. (通过使用来自工作地点的天然颜料和水，他创作出与大地相连的作品。)”可知，David Popa的作品使用在创作地点发现的天然材料。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“The impermanent nature of David’s work is central to his artistic philosophy. (大卫作品的短暂性是其艺术哲学的核心。)”以及最后一段中“These interactions result in dynamic pieces that beautifully highlight the shortness of life, showing the beauty of impermanence, and reminding us to appreciate the momentary wonders of life. (这些互动产生了充满活力的作品，优美地突出了生命的短暂，展现了短暂之美，提醒我们欣赏生命中转瞬即逝的奇迹。)”可知，David Popa艺术哲学的关键思想是艺术的短暂之美是有价值和有意义的。 C Across Hawaii, what looks like a bad haircut on the landscape is marking the slow death of the coconut palm (椰子树), thanks to the coconut rhinoceros beetle (椰树犀牛甲虫) or CRB. Today, all that stands between the beetle and a palm-poor Hawaii is a small team of scientists, field crews and two trained dogs. The beetle was first detected in Hawaii on Dec. 23, 2013, at a golf course on Hickam AirForce Base. “But who was responsible is really hard to prove. You’d have to find the transported goods that came in years before we even knew the beetle was here,” said Keith Weiser, deputy incident commander for CRB Response. At first, the beetle population appeared to be under control. But in 2019, it began its great growth. “We basically lost control once it hit central Oahu,” said professor and investigator Michael Melzer. “With the tools we have, we’re not going to eliminate it on Oahu.” After that determination, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) told the team to pull back to the ports in order to focus on stopping accidental beetle carriers there. When the beetle was discovered on Kauai in 2023, Dr. Melzer thought there was a chance of elimination. “But it turned out the beetle had already been widespread there,” he said. In May and July, beetles were discovered in two shipments on Lanai and were destroyed. On the Big Island, the team is trying to eliminate the beetle, which was found in March, before it’s too late. The state is stepping in to help. This spring, the Hawaii government provided $500,000 annually for the next two years to CRB Response. The same bill added “Biosecurity” to the name of the Hawaii Department of Agriculture in a show of urgency. “We should be prepared if there is no funding from the USDA,” Dr. Weiser said. Ultimately, the team can only delay the beetle’s spread. “We don’t have the resources to stop it,” he added. “We’ve just given people a few more good years with palms.” 8. Why does the author mention Keith Weiser’s words in paragraph 2? A. To stress the challenges of proving the beetle’s origin. B. To explain the beetle’s living habits. C. To describe the goods infected by the beetle. D. To introduce the beetle’s harm to palm trees. 9. The underlined word “elimination” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ________. A. control B. spread C. removal D. study 10. What can be inferred about the CRB crisis in Hawaii from the passage? A. More financial support is needed to eliminate CRB. B. Hawaii government’s bill has no practical impact. C. The beetles haven’t spread to other places. D. More trained dogs are needed to deal with the beetles. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. The Rapid Spread of CRB Across Hawaiian Islands B. The Economic Impact of CRB on Hawaii’s Agriculture C. Scientists’ New Discoveries About CRB Control D. Hawaii’s Losing Battle Against the CRB 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了椰树犀牛甲虫入侵夏威夷并持续扩散，多地已难以根除。当地团队全力防控，政府追加资金支持，但受资源限制，只能延缓虫害蔓延，难以彻底解决危机。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段““But who was responsible is really hard to prove. You’d have to find the transported goods that came in years before we even knew the beetle was here,” said Keith Weiser, deputy incident commander for CRB Response.(“但究竟谁该为此负责却很难确定。你得找到那些早在我们知晓这种甲虫已经出现之前就运抵这里的货物才行。”CRB应急响应小组的副指挥官基思·韦瑟说道)”可知，作者在第二段中提及基思·韦瑟的话是为了强调证明这种昆虫起源过程中的种种困难。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“In May and July, beetles were discovered in two shipments on Lanai and were destroyed. On the Big Island, the team is trying to eliminate the beetle, which was found in March, before it’s too late.(在5月和7月，兰艾岛上的两批货物中发现了甲虫，并且这些甲虫已被销毁。在大岛，研究团队正努力在为时过晚之前消灭在3月发现的这种甲虫)”可知，发现考艾岛出现甲虫时，Melzer本以为有机会根除它，但实际已大范围扩散。故划线词意思是“消灭”。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We should be prepared if there is no funding from the USDA,” Dr. Weiser said. Ultimately, the team can only delay the beetle’s spread. “We don’t have the resources to stop it,” he added.(韦瑟博士表示：“如果美国农业部没有提供资金支持，我们也应该做好应对准备。” 最终，该团队只能延缓这种害虫的蔓延。“我们没有足够的资源来阻止它。”他补充道)”可知，需要更多资金来消灭甲虫。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Across Hawaii, what looks like a bad haircut on the landscape is marking the slow death of the coconut palm (椰子树), thanks to the coconut rhinoceros beetle (椰树犀牛甲虫) or CRB. Today, all that stands between the beetle and a palm-poor Hawaii is a small team of scientists, field crews and two trained dogs.(在夏威夷各地，原本看似糟糕的植被破坏景象实际上却标志着椰子树的缓慢消亡，这要归咎于椰树犀牛甲虫（CRB）。如今，阻止这种甲虫侵害避免夏威夷变成椰树稀少的地方的屏障，只剩下了一支由科学家、野外工作人员以及两只训练有素的训练犬组成的团队)”结合文章主要说明了椰树犀牛甲虫入侵夏威夷并持续扩散，多地已难以根除。当地团队全力防控，政府追加资金支持，但受资源限制，只能延缓虫害蔓延，难以彻底解决危机可知，D选项“夏威夷在与CRB的斗争中逐渐败下阵来”最符合文章标题。 D Once you’re stuffed from a big meal, most foods lose their appeal. But see a sweet treat and you might be ready to make room for more. Biology may explain this feeling, a new study led by neuroscientist Marielle Minere suggests. Minere first got curious about sugar cravings (渴望) while working with mice in an experiment. “When full, the mice wouldn’t eat normal food but would eat sugar. That really made us want to know what drives sugar cravings,” she recalls. So Minere’s team thought out a way to explore which parts of the brain might explain this. They put special proteins into a few parts of the mice’s brains. These proteins light up when brain cells are active. The researchers focused on a group of brain cells called the POMC. These cells are known to make mice — and people — feel full. The team wondered if the same cells might help drive sugar cravings. When an animal eats, the POMC cells send messages to other groups of brain cells that give a sense of feeling full. That feeling tells the animal to stop eating. When the mice were offered sugar, though, a different pathway out of the POMC lit up. “We found that the POMC cells are also quickly turned on when mice see signs of sugar,” says Minere. This pathway, she believes, acts as a sugar-craving circuit. It can overpower the fullness circuit. The sugar-craving circuit engages a part of the brain that signals rewards and pleasure. This, the researchers think, is what makes sweets so appealing. To test if people have the same sugar-craving brain circuit, Minere’s team designed another experiment. Volunteers agreed to lie in a brain scanner (扫描仪). It recorded brain activity as people were given water or sugar. When they got sugar, cells in their sugar-craving circuit lit up. This showed that the sugar-craving circuit exists in both mice and us. Minere believes there’s a reason why our brains crave sugar. Our ancient ancestors lived in a time when it was tougher to find food, she says. And sweet foods provide quick energy. So, Minere says, it’s not your fault if you can’t resist a sweet treat. Blame biology. 12. What inspired Minere to study sugar cravings? A. What is the way to help people lose weight. B. What stops mice from feeling full. C. Why people avoid foods after a big meal. D. Why mice still eat sugar when full. 13. What is the finding of Minere’s team about the POMC cells? A. They can be activated by the sight of sugar. B. They can drive mice to look for sugar. C. They can make the brain signal pleasure. D. They can change other types of brain cells. 14. Why do human brains crave sugar according to the study? A. Because sweet foods are more delicious than other foods. B. Because ancient humans needed quick energy from sugar. C. Because modern people have more sugar to eat. D. Because POMC cells stop working in modern humans. 15. What is Minere’s attitude towards people’s sugar cravings? A. Critical. B. Understanding. C. Doubtful. D. Subjective. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲的是一项由神经科学家马里埃尔·米内尔（Marielle Minere）领导的新研究，该研究揭示了人们（以及小鼠）在饱餐后仍对甜食产生渴望的生物学机制。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““When full, the mice wouldn’t eat normal food but would eat sugar. That really made us want to know what drives sugar cravings,” she recalls.(“当吃饱后，这些小鼠不再吃正常的食物，而是会吃糖。这真的让我们想要弄清楚是什么导致了这种对糖的渴望。”她回忆道。)”可知，米内尔研究糖分渴望的动机是为什么老鼠吃饱了仍会渴望吃糖。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““We found that the POMC cells are also quickly turned on when mice see signs of sugar,” says Minere.(“我们发现，当老鼠看到糖的迹象时，POMC 细胞也会迅速被激活，”米内尔说道。)”可知，米内尔团队对 POMC 细胞的研究结果是它们会因看到糖而被激活。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Minere believes there’s a reason why our brains crave sugar. Our ancient ancestors lived in a time when it was tougher to find food, she says. And sweet foods provide quick energy.(米内尔（Minere）认为，我们的大脑渴望糖分是有原因的。她说，我们的远古祖先生活在食物更难获取的时代，而甜食能快速提供能量。)”可知，人类大脑会渴望糖分是因为古代人类需要从糖分中获取快速能量。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“So, Minere says, it’s not your fault if you can’t resist a sweet treat. Blame biology.(所以，米内尔说，如果你无法抗拒甜食，那并不是你的错。这要归咎于生理因素。)”可知，米内尔对于人们对糖的渴望的态度是理解的。 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。其中有两项多余。 Lifeguard chairs are essential lifesaving tools widely used in public swimming pools, coastal beaches, and water parks. ____16____ With thoughtful design features, they play a key role in ensuring water safety and helping lifeguards respond to emergencies promptly.

As an only child, Ruby saw Wanda as the older sister she’d never had — someone she admired deeply and wanted to copy in every way. Wanda was everything Ruby hoped to be: beautiful with long brown hair that fell in soft waves, smart enough to get perfect grades in every test, and a talented piano player who could make everyone in the room quiet with her music. She had a small group of close friends and an easy sense of style that made every clothes look great — nice, fun, and completely her own. Ruby, still in high school, paid close attention to every part of Wanda’s life, secretly hoping to go to the same university as her one day. Wanda knew Ruby admired her, and she found this love sweet, not annoying. For Christmas that year, she picked out a soft light-colored sweater with the golden logo of her university on it, knowing how much it would mean to Ruby. When Ruby opened the gift, her eyes lit up like stars; she hugged Wanda tightly, her voice shaking with happiness. She wore the sweater to school almost every day, even on warm days, as if it were a lucky thing that linked her to her dream. One afternoon, in a lively literature class, Ruby put up her hand quickly to answer a question about poems. The teacher, looking closely at her from the front, accidentally called her “Wanda”. “I’m so sorry, dear — you just look so much like her,” the teacher said, feeling upset. But Ruby smiled brightly, pushing a piece of hair behind her ear. “Don’t say sorry at all — I’m flattered (感到荣幸的),” she said, her chest filling with pride. She even joined the same after-school clubs Wanda had been in, from the speech team to the art club, trying hard to follow Wanda’s path. Sometimes classmates laughed at her for copying Wanda, saying she had no personality of her own. However, the truth was Ruby was different from Wanda. Ruby was more humorous and outgoing. Finally, the big day came. When Ruby was surfing the Internet for the college admission result, her hands shook so badly that she could hardly type her login information. She closed her eyes tightly, counting to three before slowly opening them. The screen showed “Congratulations! You’ve been accepted!”. Seeing that, she let out a cry of joy, tears running down her face. She called Wanda right away, her voice breaking with excitement as she thanked her for checking her application and cheering her on. The next day, Wanda took her to visit the campus, ready to show her the place that would soon be her new home. 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。 As they walked around the beautiful campus, Ruby felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Later that day, over a cup of coffee, Wanda said something that took Ruby by surprise. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： As they walked around the beautiful campus, Ruby felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. Wanda, the cousin she had always looked up to, enthusiastically pointed out each building and shared her fond memories here. Wearing the university sweater Wanda had given her, Ruby listened carefully but couldn’t help wondering if she could ever find her own place here, a place where Wanda had once shone so brightly. Observing students perform lively comedy in the square, Ruby was instantly drawn to their energy. Her own playful spirit surfaced, and she laughed freely. Noticing this, Wanda smiled thoughtfully. Later that day, over a cup of coffee, Wanda said something that took Ruby by surprise. “You know, Ruby,” Wanda said gently, “I brought you here not to follow my path, but to see your own. Watching you at the square, I realized this campus needs your unique energy. That sweater I gave you is a gift of welcome, not a template to conform to.” Ruby felt a warmth spread through her. She finally understood her journey wasn’t about becoming a second Wanda, but about writing her own story alongside her cousin. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Ruby一直崇拜表姐Wanda，视其为榜样并努力模仿。Wanda送她带有大学标志的毛衣，激励她前行。Ruby努力追随，最终被同一所大学录取，激动落泪，Wanda陪她参观即将成为新家的校园。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写Ruby跟随表姐Wanda参观大学校园，内心既期待又忐忑，羡慕表姐的优秀，担心自己无法融入，随后Ruby被广场上学生的表演感染，展露天性、放松欢笑，也被表姐看在眼里。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写二人喝咖啡交谈，Wanda贴心开导Ruby，告诉她不必复刻自己的道路、要活出独特的自我，Ruby深受触动，最终领悟成长的意义是书写属于自己的人生。 2.续写线索：参观校园心生忐忑 —— 羡慕表姐心生迷茫 —— 目睹表演释放自我 —— 表姐观察默默留意 —— 暖心对话解开困惑 —— 顿悟自我奔赴人生 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①聆听：listen carefully/hear attentively ②被……吸引：be drawn to/be attracted to ③意识到：realize/become aware of 情绪类 ①热情：enthusiastically/passionately ②温暖：warmth/coziness 【点睛】【高分句型1】Observing students perform lively comedy in the square, Ruby was instantly drawn to their energy.
