He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who bakes great bread, but he does. Every Saturday he bakes silently by himself. When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious. The rest of the week, he’s a car mechanic whose job involves complex lifting, tightening, shaking and hitting. People tend to think of cars as metallic members of the family, and Dad seldom lets them down. I kind of understand Dad’s baking routine. Though he’s into the work, customers’ expectation and understaffing weigh him down. When working on the dough (生面团) he returns to a life of ease. I had been feeling stressed out myself since I didn’t qualify for the swim team. I would have to wait a whole year, which was like a million years. I thought Dad had found that. He asked me how things were going last Saturday. I said OK. He looked at me for a moment, said it was time for me to help and headed to the kitchen. Surprised though, I followed him. Dad took out his mixing bowl, telling me to mix materials while he added them. He isn’t big on measuring, knowing instinctively (凭直觉) how much to use. The bread is always great. Then he showed me how to process the dough — repeatedly stretching, pounding and folding it. It took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy to finish. But what came next was harder and more surprising — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl. It took an hour to rise. Then we pressed and stretched it, put it into pans and waited another hour for it to double. “It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough,” Dad explained. When the dough rose at its own pace, time seemed to slow down. We could do nothing to speed that. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and started enjoying the time. My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more — appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise. 24. What can we learn about the author’s father? A. He is not talkative. B. He enjoys playing baseball. C. He is expert at his work. D. He doesn’t like fixing cars. 25. Why does the author’s father make bread every Saturday? A. To get relaxed. B. To kill the time. C. To pursue his hobby. D. To learn a new skill. 26. What is the most difficult part during baking bread according to the author? A. Measuring materials. B. Waiting for the dough to rise. C. Processing the dough. D. Controlling the temperature of the oven. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets of Baking B. Influence of My Father C. A Bread Lesson D. A Surprising Leisure Time C One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage. Everyone from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 28. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _________. A. kids are missing the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 29. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _________. A. keep a high sense of wonder B. be over-protected by their parents C. be less healthy both physically and mentally D. change wild places and creatures for the better 30. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is _________. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 31. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _________. A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around D Runners completing a half marathon in Beijing later this year will do so with something unusual. More than 12,000 human runners will compete against dozens of bipedal (双足行走的) humanoids from more than 20 companies in a 13-mile course. The top three finishers, whether a human or a humanoid, will receive prizes. But the robots will have their work cut out for them. As of now, no bipedal robot has successfully completed that long a race, let alone competing against a human runner. There are some requirements the robot runners will have to meet. For starters, they will need to look somewhat like a human, which means two legs and a mechanical structure capable of carrying out bipedal functions like upright walking and running. These guidelines rule out high-functioning quadruped (四足的) robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot or KAIST’s RAIBO2. The latter completed a full marathon last year in just over four hours. Wheels aren’t allowed. In terms of size, the humanoid should measure between 1.6－6.5 feet tall with a maximum extension from their hip joint (髋关节) to the foot sole of at least 0.45 meters. Importantly, the robots won’t need to be fully autonomous (自动的) to compete. Teams are allowed to remotely operate their machines, which could come as welcome news if Tesla decides to send its Optimus bot to the race. Humanoids have already proven capable of running, sometimes quite quickly. In China, humanoids from the companies ROBOTERA and Unitree Robotics can reportedly reach top running speeds of eight miles per hour and 7.38 miles per hour respectively. Tiangong, a humanoid created by Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation (BHRI) Center actually made an appearance at the finish line of a half marathon last year, but it didn’t complete the entire course. Still, none of these robots come close to matching human athlete Usain Bolt’s record top speed. But the April race might not be all for show either. Government-backed challenges and competitions have a history of fostering research innovations in the future. It’s possible one of the running robots in Beijing could follow a similar track. Or, they could also fall flat on their faces. Either way, we’ll be watching with interest. 32. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The robots will face difficult tasks. B. The robots will complete the race. C. The robots will win the award. D. The robots will have different goals. 33. What robots meet the requirements of the competition? A. Quadruped robots. B. Robots over 6.5 feet high. C. Distantly controlled robots. D. Bipedal robots with wheel feet. 34. Which of the following robots completed a full marathon? A. KAIST’s RAIBO2. B. BHRI’s Tiangong. C. Tesla’s Optimus bot. D. Boston Dynamics’ Spot. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the April marathon? A. Wholly indifferent. B. Highly skeptical. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Extremely enthusiastic. 第二节 七选五 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) What is a Mobile Blog?

When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin (垃圾箱). There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city had taken the other trash cans away and the last one wasn’t emptied very often. As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns. The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help. Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up. Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation (陈述). As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 山西大学附中 2025～2026学年高一第二学期期中考试 英 语 试 题 考试时间：120分钟 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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What is the man’s advice for the woman?

It was a summer house for royal families because as you can see, it’s surrounded by beautiful nature and ancient forests. Later, however, it was used as a prison where many war prisoners were held during the 17th century regional conflicts. Owing to the castle’s history and natural beauty, a lot of movies about the Middle Ages have been filmed here. You’ve probably seen some of them. Despite its ancient origins, modern facilities have been added to improve tourists’ experience. Please understand that some parts of the castle are inaccessible due to ongoing repair work. Now, let’s start walking around the castle. Please stay together for safety on the uneven stones. If you have any questions during the tour, just ask me. I will be happy to answer them. 第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) A The Chocolate Museum offers the world’s most detailed exhibition of the history of cocoa, covering the full range of its 5,000 years of growing.

He doesn’t seem like the kind of person who bakes great bread, but he does. Every Saturday he bakes silently by himself. When he’s done, the whole house smells delicious. The rest of the week, he’s a car mechanic whose job involves complex lifting, tightening, shaking and hitting. People tend to think of cars as metallic members of the family, and Dad seldom lets them down. I kind of understand Dad’s baking routine. Though he’s into the work, customers’ expectation and understaffing weigh him down. When working on the dough (生面团) he returns to a life of ease. I had been feeling stressed out myself since I didn’t qualify for the swim team. I would have to wait a whole year, which was like a million years. I thought Dad had found that. He asked me how things were going last Saturday. I said OK. He looked at me for a moment, said it was time for me to help and headed to the kitchen. Surprised though, I followed him. Dad took out his mixing bowl, telling me to mix materials while he added them. He isn’t big on measuring, knowing instinctively (凭直觉) how much to use. The bread is always great. Then he showed me how to process the dough — repeatedly stretching, pounding and folding it. It took ten minutes and a surprising amount of energy to finish. But what came next was harder and more surprising — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl. It took an hour to rise. Then we pressed and stretched it, put it into pans and waited another hour for it to double. “It’s hard to resist putting the dough directly into the oven, but if you do, the bread will be tough,” Dad explained. When the dough rose at its own pace, time seemed to slow down. We could do nothing to speed that. As I accepted that, I stopped watching the clock and started enjoying the time. My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more — appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise. 24. What can we learn about the author’s father? A. He is not talkative. B. He enjoys playing baseball. C. He is expert at his work. D. He doesn’t like fixing cars. 25. Why does the author’s father make bread every Saturday? A. To get relaxed. B. To kill the time. C. To pursue his hobby. D. To learn a new skill. 26. What is the most difficult part during baking bread according to the author? A. Measuring materials. B. Waiting for the dough to rise. C. Processing the dough. D. Controlling the temperature of the oven. 27. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Secrets of Baking B. Influence of My Father C. A Bread Lesson D. A Surprising Leisure Time 【答案】24. C 25. A 26. B 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者通过跟父亲学做面包，学会了耐心等待，享受慢时光。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The rest of the week, he’s a car mechanic whose job involves complex lifting, tightening, shaking and hitting. People tend to think of cars as metallic members of the family, and Dad seldom lets them down.(这周剩下的时间，他是一名汽车修理工，他的工作涉及复杂的起重、收紧、摇晃和撞击。人们往往认为汽车是家庭中的金属成员，而爸爸很少让他们失望)”可知，作者的父亲的技术高超，在修车方面很专业。故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“When working on the dough (生面团) he returns to a life of ease.(当他在面团上工作时，他又回到了放松的生活)”可知，作者的父亲做面包是为了放松。故选A。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“But what came next was harder and more surprising — doing nothing. We put the dough back into the bowl. It took an hour to rise. Then we pressed and stretched it, put it into pans and waited another hour for it to double.(但接下来发生的事情更困难，也更令人惊讶——什么都不做。我们把面团放回碗里。发面花了一个小时。然后我们把它压扁、拉伸，放进平底锅里，再等一个小时，让它翻倍)”可知，对于作者来说，在做面包的过程中，最难的是什么也不做，等待着面团发酵。故选B。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。全文讲述了作者通过跟父亲学做面包，学会了耐心等待，享受慢时光。文章最后一句“My father taught me how to bake, but I learned something more — appreciate the slow pace of time and let the bread rise.(父亲教会了我烘焙，但我学会了更多——珍惜时间的慢节奏，让面包发酵)”点明文章主旨。C项“A Bread Lesson”一语双关，既表明作者学做面包的经历，也暗示作者从中所获得的启示。故选C。 C One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to a serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play. Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in parks use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment (蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods. Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives. That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health, to stress levels, creativity and cognitive (认知的) skills. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part of it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters (培养) leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest. Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more. Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time, but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite (仪式) of passage. Everyone from developers, to schools and outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that cement (增强) love, respect and need for landscape. As parents, we should devote some of our energies to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause. 28. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that _________. A. kids are missing the sense of wonder outdoors B. parks are in danger of being gradually encroached C. Richard Louv is the author of Last Child in the Woods D. children are expected to develop into protectors of nature 29. According to the passage, children without experiencing nature will _________. A. keep a high sense of wonder B. be over-protected by their parents C. be less healthy both physically and mentally D. change wild places and creatures for the better 30. According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is _________. A. the fault on the part of their parents B. the natural experience in their growing up C. the result of their own carelessness in play D. the effect of their repetitive stress from computers 31. In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to _________. A. blame children for getting lost in computer games B. encourage children to protect parks from encroachment C. show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature D. inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around 【答案】28. D 29. C 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章作者从一些孩子缺乏对户外和自然的了解引发的一些问题，表达了对孩子成长经历的担忧。 【28题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes(这样下去，那些失去了户外奇妙感觉的孩子长大后就不会成为自然景观的保护者。)”可知，第二段主要讲述了孩子们被期望成长为自然的保护者。故选D。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Without having a nature experience,kids can turn out just fine,but they are missing out a huge enrichment of their lives.That applies to everything from their physical health and mental health(没有大自然的经历，孩子们可能会很好，但他们错过了丰富他们生活的巨大机会。这适用于他们的身体健康和心理健康)”可知，没有经历过自然的孩子错失了丰富其生活的机会，无论是身体健康还是心理健康都受到影响。由此可推知，没有经历过自然的孩子在生理和心理上都不太健康。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段末“as a childhood rite of passage.”可知breaking an arm是指孩子成长的经历。故选B。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world.( 如今我们最大的恐惧之一是，我们的孩子有一天可能会迷失在“科技的海洋”中，而不是去体验自然世界。)”可知，作者从一些孩子缺乏对户外和自然的了解引发的一些问题，表达了对孩子成长经历的担忧。故选C。 D Runners completing a half marathon in Beijing later this year will do so with something unusual. More than 12,000 human runners will compete against dozens of bipedal (双足行走的) humanoids from more than 20 companies in a 13-mile course. The top three finishers, whether a human or a humanoid, will receive prizes. But the robots will have their work cut out for them. As of now, no bipedal robot has successfully completed that long a race, let alone competing against a human runner. There are some requirements the robot runners will have to meet. For starters, they will need to look somewhat like a human, which means two legs and a mechanical structure capable of carrying out bipedal functions like upright walking and running. These guidelines rule out high-functioning quadruped (四足的) robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot or KAIST’s RAIBO2. The latter completed a full marathon last year in just over four hours. Wheels aren’t allowed. In terms of size, the humanoid should measure between 1.6－6.5 feet tall with a maximum extension from their hip joint (髋关节) to the foot sole of at least 0.45 meters. Importantly, the robots won’t need to be fully autonomous (自动的) to compete. Teams are allowed to remotely operate their machines, which could come as welcome news if Tesla decides to send its Optimus bot to the race. Humanoids have already proven capable of running, sometimes quite quickly. In China, humanoids from the companies ROBOTERA and Unitree Robotics can reportedly reach top running speeds of eight miles per hour and 7.38 miles per hour respectively. Tiangong, a humanoid created by Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation (BHRI) Center actually made an appearance at the finish line of a half marathon last year, but it didn’t complete the entire course. Still, none of these robots come close to matching human athlete Usain Bolt’s record top speed. But the April race might not be all for show either. Government-backed challenges and competitions have a history of fostering research innovations in the future. It’s possible one of the running robots in Beijing could follow a similar track. Or, they could also fall flat on their faces. Either way, we’ll be watching with interest. 32. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean? A. The robots will face difficult tasks. B. The robots will complete the race. C. The robots will win the award. D. The robots will have different goals. 33. What robots meet the requirements of the competition? A. Quadruped robots. B. Robots over 6.5 feet high. C. Distantly controlled robots. D. Bipedal robots with wheel feet. 34. Which of the following robots completed a full marathon? A. KAIST’s RAIBO2. B. BHRI’s Tiangong. C. Tesla’s Optimus bot. D. Boston Dynamics’ Spot. 35. What is the author’s attitude towards the April marathon? A. Wholly indifferent. B. Highly skeptical. C. Cautiously optimistic. D. Extremely enthusiastic. 【答案】32. A 33. C 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了一场即将在北京举行的特殊半程马拉松比赛，人类跑者将与双足人形机器人同场竞技，并讨论了机器人参赛的要求、当前技术局限、已有的机器人跑步能力，以及这场比赛可能带来的科研创新意义。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线句后文的内容“As of now, no bipedal robot has successfully completed that long a race, let alone competing against a human runner.(截至目前，还没有任何双足机器人成功完成过这么长的比赛，更不用说与人类跑者同场竞技了。)”可知，划线句后文提到了没有任何机器人能完成这么长的比赛，更不用说与人类跑者比赛了，即说明了机器人面临着艰巨的挑战，故此处划线句意为“机器人将面临艰巨的任务”。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“Importantly, the robots won’t need to be fully autonomous(自动的) to compete. Teams are allowed to remotely operate their machines, which could come as welcome news if Tesla decides to send its Optimus bot to the race.(重要的是，机器人并不需要完全自主地完成比赛。团队可以远程操控它们的机器人——如果特斯拉决定派出其Optimus机器人参赛，这无疑是一个好消息。)”可知，机器人不需要自主完成比赛，由团队远程操控机器人，故远程操控机器人符合参赛标准。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“These guidelines rule out high-functioning quadruped (四足的) robots like Boston Dynamics’ Spot or KAIST’s RAIBO2. The latter completed a full marathon last year in just over four hours.(这些规定排除了像波士顿动力公司的Spot或韩国科学技术院的RAIBO2这样的高性能四足机器人——后者去年刚刚以四个多小时的成绩完成了一场全程马拉松。)”可知，此处的“后者”指KAIST’s RAIBO2机器人，故KAIST’s RAIBO2机器人完成了一场全程马拉松。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“But the April race might not be all for show either. Government-backed challenges and competitions have a history of fostering research innovations in the future. It’s possible one of the running robots in Beijing could follow a similar track. Or, they could also fall flat on their faces. Either way, we’ll be watching with interest.(但四月的这场比赛也许不仅仅是一场表演。政府支持的挑战和竞赛历来有推动未来研究创新的历史。北京这场比赛中也许会有某个跑步机器人走上类似的道路。当然，它们也可能当场摔个跟头。无论如何，我们都会饶有兴趣地关注。)”可知，作者认为这次四月马拉松可以推动未来研究创新，也认为机器人可能会摔跟头，承认失败的可能，但仍然保持兴趣关注。故他对这次马拉松的态度是“谨慎乐观的”。 第二节 七选五 (共5小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分12.5分) What is a Mobile Blog?

When they passed by Tubman park, Isabel suggested cutting through it to get to the library. As they entered the park, the sight of the swings (秋千) and the merry-go-round brought back a flood of memories of their childhood spent there. But now everything looked so old, sad, and dirty. Litter lay on the ground next to an overflowing trash bin (垃圾箱). There were still young schoolchildren playing there but they had to avoid the trash that littered the playground. A little boy told them that the city had taken the other trash cans away and the last one wasn’t emptied very often. As they headed toward the library, the two high school students wrinkled their forehead. In the library, they encountered Mrs. Evans, their kind-hearted fifth-grade teacher, retired yet still passionate. Mrs. Evans listened as Isabel and Peter eagerly explained what they’d seen. Finally, she recommended them to go to the City Hall to voice their concerns. The next day, Isabel and Peter went into the building of the City Hall but were met with an impatient officer. They were informed that the city couldn’t help with their problem due to a tight budget. Discouraged, they left and turned to Mrs. Evans for help. Under her guidance, they decided to ask Go Green, a non-profit organization whose goal is to protect the environment, for help. “This group is good at raising money for projects just like yours,” said Mrs. Evans. She promised to arrange them to present their ideas to Go Green. Hearing this, their face lit up. Two main tasks remained ahead: researching ways to clean up the park and preparing a convincing presentation (陈述). As Isabel was good at researching while Peter always had a talent for speaking, they cooperated quite well. Isabel learned from a science magazine that a new type of trash bin can squeeze the trash down without being emptied often, which saves time, money, and energy. Based on this, Peter practiced his presentation over and over again. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右；2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: A week later, Peter stood nervously at the back of the hall where Go Green was meeting. His palms were sweaty as he clutched his notecards, nervously reviewing the key points one last time. When called upon, he stepped forward and began speaking with growing confidence. Using vivid photos of Tubman Park’s current state and diagrams of the innovative trash bins, he explained how this solution could transform their childhood playground. He emphasized the community impact — how clean parks foster healthier children and stronger neighborhoods. The board members listened intently, nodding as he presented cost estimates and maintenance plans. By the end, even the sternest faces had softened into smiles. After the meeting, Isabel excitedly told Peter the good news. Go Green had not only approved their proposal but also pledged to fund the installation of five self-compacting trash bins and organize monthly volunteer clean-ups. Better yet, they’d connected the teens with a city council member who promised to advocate for restored park funding. Overwhelmed with joy, the two immediately texted Mrs. Evans, who replied, “Proud of you both! This is just the beginning.” The following weekend, they gathered classmates to remove litter from Tubman Park, their laughter mixing with the rustle of trash bags — a sound of change in motion. 【解析】 【导语】本文以公园改造为线索展开，讲述了高中生Peter和Isabel发现童年乐园Tubman公园垃圾堆积、市政维护缺失。求助市政厅被拒后，两人在老师Evans的建议下向环保组织Go Green提案。Isabel调研出自压缩垃圾桶技术，Peter精彩演讲打动评审，成功获资金安装智能垃圾桶并组织月度清洁。他们更带动同学清理公园，在笑声与行动中重燃社区希望。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一周后，Peter紧张地站在‘绿色行动’组织开会的大厅后面”可知，第一段可描写Peter演讲的情景，并过渡到方案得到评审的认可。 ②由第二段首句内容“会议结束后，Isabel兴奋地告诉Peter这个好消息”可知，第二段可描写他们的提议获批，得到更多的合作支持，他们开心地开展公园改造行动。 2. 续写线索：Peter紧张等待陈述——Peter演讲——评审认可——Isabel告知好消息——提议获批，得到支持——两人改造公园 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①解释：explain/clarify/explicate ②改变：transform/change ③强调：emphasize/highlight/stress/underline ④回复：reply/respond/answer 情绪类 ①紧张地：nervously/anxiously ②高兴：joy/delight/happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] His palms were sweaty as he clutched his notecards, nervously reviewing the key points one last time.
