B On a warm afternoon, I sat on a seat in the local park. Midlife had crept in (悄然来临) uninvited, and the fast-paced world left me feeling lost. I couldn’t help wondering: Where am I headed now? Then, I saw a young mother placing her one-year-old daughter on the grass nearby. The baby girl took a few seconds to take in her new kingdom, and then set off crawling (爬行) with boundless enthusiasm — tipping over and correcting herself. Every inch she covered was a joyful discovery. The curious baby taught me the first lesson: We begin life crawling not toward goals, but toward possibilities. Soon after, the second stranger appeared — a man in his early twenties, walking down the sidewalk beside the park. There was something wrong with his right leg. I could tell from the way it dragged along the ground. When the sidewalk sloped down (向下倾斜) suddenly, he stopped and got down on his hands and knees, moving forward methodically. That young man crawled not out of weakness, but because he had a place to reach. His determination taught me the second lesson: Sometimes we crawl not because we are weak, but because we are strong enough to continue despite hardship. The third stranger was an older man, possibly in his sixties. He walked through the park gate and stopped near the greens. After stretching slowly, he attempted a gentle jog — but within seconds, he doubled over, pressing his hands to his knees. Then, he lowered himself to the ground and crawled steadily towards a nearby seat. His face was set, but his movements stayed steady. His graceful manner taught me the third lesson: When life changes our abilities, accepting new rhythms with grace is a sign of wisdom. That afternoon, I went to the park in search of clarity. I didn’t find the answers I was looking for. I found three strangers who held up three mirrors to my own life. And strangely, that was enough to make me move forward. 4. What made the author feel lost at the beginning? A. Failure to set and reach his life goals. B. Inner confusion in the rushing world. C. Being unsure about the travel destination. D. Being an outsider among the middle-aged. 5. How did the baby behave in the new environment? A. She explored it eagerly. B. She struggled to her feet. C. She turned to her mother. D. She focused on small goals. 6. What did the author learn from the old man? A. Accept changes gracefully. B. Keep going despite hardship. C. Work out with great caution. D. Fight against aging tirelessly. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Fast World, Pure Soul B. Heavy Steps, Curious Heart C. Crawling through Life’s Path D. Counting Every Small Victory C An ancient yet challenging regenerative harvesting technique has provided China with a new sustainable weapon in its search for food security, an unmanned ratoon rice (再生稻) farm that produces 50 percent higher yields. It aims to help meet China’s 2032 goal of growing 90 percent of its own grain, including rice, corn, soybeans and wheat. The world’s first smart farm for ratoon rice was built by a Chinese biotechnology company and scientists from several institutes by applying smart seedling care, sowing, growing and harvesting. With the entire intelligent and minimally staffed base covering 200 hectares, the farm has enabled an ancient but technically challenging technique of harvesting the second rice crop grown from the stubble (稻茬) of the first harvest. Unlike traditional two-season rice, which requires replanting after each harvest, ratoon rice is considered a sustainable farming practice because it does not require replanting and allows for a higher yield on a single planting cycle. Though the technique has existed for a long time, it has not been used in modern farming because hand-driven mechanical harvesters often both crush (压碎) the rice stubble and pack down the soil during the first harvest. But by using smart, unmanned equipment, the rate of rice stubble crushing at the smart farm has been reduced to 18 percent, compared with traditional manual harvesters. Beyond this farm, China pushes for a diversified food supply and food security through other innovations, such as growing salt-tolerant rice in Xinjiang’s desert areas. Breakthroughs in rice genetics, automated machinery and smart monitoring have made this possible. The farm uses AI, cloud computing, the Internet of Things and BeiDou to operate unmanned rice transplanters and harvesters. After three years of trials, it has grown from an experimental field into a copyable model. 8. Why does China develop the ratoon rice farm? A. To modernize harvesting tools. B. To ensure reliable grain supply. C. To control production expenses. D. To feature China’s tech progress. 9. How is the harvest increased with ratoon rice? A. By planting new seeds. B. By reducing chemical use. C. By protecting the stubble. D. By using traditional harvesters. 10. What is the problem of traditional harvesting methods? A. They damage growing conditions. B. They require high costs. C. They cause serious soil pollution. D. They waste water resources. 11. What does the last paragraph imply about the smart farm? A. It improves the quality of rice. B. It slows down desertification. C. It allows for broader application. D. It gains worldwide recognition. D Brain research provides powerful insights into the mechanism of how people like music. Understanding why human beings like music requires exploring the value of music to the brain. A recent article about music is currently enjoying wide circulation. In it, we learn that our brains are inborn to respond emotionally to music. The author illustrates this concept through the story of a man whose brain doesn’t respond emotionally to music and this condition affects roughly 5 percent of people. Tests of this man’s brain reveal that he lacks strong neural connections between the hearing system and the emotional system in his brain. The article explains how we like music, but not why. To answer why, we need to explore the evolutionary value of music. 95 percent of people do respond emotionally to music, and this response is hardwired into our brains through our genes. So important that it promotes survival. The brain makes predictions about what will happen next. This ability is valuable because an organism can more effectively prepare an appropriate response to an event if that event can be predicted. Like any skill, prediction improves with practice, and music helps the brain practice this ability. One explanation for our emotional response to music is called the prediction model. According to it, the brain uses its knowledge of musical structure to predict what will come next. Our emotional responses either follow these expectations or break them, which influence whether we like the music or not. They also connect us to the practice of using music to strengthen our prediction skills. Music also helps manage our inner emotional world. Even when we try to avoid them, unwanted thoughts and feelings can arise from the subconscious. One effective strategy is engaging with music. The most common reason people listen to music is to change their mood. Music becomes a tool when unwelcome thoughts threaten to overwhelm us. Feeling down? Play upbeat music. Feeling anxious? Listen to calm, soothing music. Feeling bored? Try an unfamiliar style. 12. What causes the man’s inability to respond emotionally to music? A. His hearing system is affected. B. His emotional system is overactive. C. He shows little interest in music. D. He lacks necessary neural connections. 13. What does the underlined phrase “is hardwired into” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Is built into. B. Is divided into. C. Is learned by. D. Is controlled by. 14. What decides people’s preference for a certain piece of music? A. The complexity of music structure. B. The frequency of listening to music. C. The listener’s real-time emotional state. D. The match between music and predictions. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Unique skills human brain develops. B. Reasons behind people’s love for music. C. How music shapes people’s social life. D. How the brain’s prediction model works. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 How to manage digital rage We’ve all been there: you scroll (滚动) through social media, spot a rude comment or misleading news, and suddenly feel angry. ____16____.

But the pressure of teaching had left me desperate for a change. When I heard about an opening for a Spanish teacher at the public high school in a small town, it felt like a gift. I would work at a place that was only five minutes away from my home — the same school my daughter attended. Life would finally get a little easier. Two months in, none of my classes was going well. I was working longer hours than ever, going through online resources, reading old lesson plans, searching for something that would get my students excited about learning Spanish. But every day, I returned to bored faces and complaints. I felt like a beginner in the classroom, not an experienced teacher. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t seem to bond with my students. This day was no exception. I was helping a student with a worksheet when another student, Eliza, yelled from across the room. “I can’t do it. This worksheet is really hard. I hate this class!” she said, glaring at me. I felt a twist in my heart. Eliza had started the year bubbly, full of enthusiasm. I was the one who had lost her. Not for the first time, I kept asking myself who could help me out here? I remembered seeing those words in the library: “A good book usually helps on a bad day.” Maybe that’s what I needed, a good book. After school, I went to the town library. I ran my fingers along the book and stopped on My Journey with Maya. I pulled the book off the shelf and read. Before I knew it, I was 30 pages in, drawn to the advice about struggle. One paragraph jumped out at me: “I’ve tried to remind myself that even the worst news may well carry a blessing. It might take a day, a week, a year, or even a lifetime for that blessing to appear, but appear it will.” Did my own struggles in the classroom carry such a blessing? I certainly didn’t want to wait a lifetime for it. 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。 The message I’d received that day shifted my attitude. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few months later, I met with Eliza’s mother at a parent-teacher conference. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 乌鲁木齐地区2026年高三年级第三次质量监测 英语（问卷） （卷面分值：150分；考试时间：120分钟） 本试卷共10页。考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生先将自己的姓名、准考证号码填写清楚，将条形码准确粘贴在考生信息条形码粘贴区。在答题卡相应位置上。 2．选择题必须使用2B铅笔填涂；非选择题必须使用0.5毫米黑色字迹的签字笔书写，字体工整、笔迹清楚。 3．请按照题号顺序在答题卡各题目的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效；在草稿纸、试卷上答题无效。 4．作图可先使用铅笔画出，确定后必须用黑色字迹的签字笔描黑。 5．保持卡面清洁，不要折叠，不要弄破、弄皱，不准使用涂改液、修正带、刮纸刀。 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，并标在试卷的相应位置。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Midlife had crept in (悄然来临) uninvited, and the fast-paced world left me feeling lost. I couldn’t help wondering: Where am I headed now? Then, I saw a young mother placing her one-year-old daughter on the grass nearby. The baby girl took a few seconds to take in her new kingdom, and then set off crawling (爬行) with boundless enthusiasm — tipping over and correcting herself. Every inch she covered was a joyful discovery. The curious baby taught me the first lesson: We begin life crawling not toward goals, but toward possibilities. Soon after, the second stranger appeared — a man in his early twenties, walking down the sidewalk beside the park. There was something wrong with his right leg. I could tell from the way it dragged along the ground. When the sidewalk sloped down (向下倾斜) suddenly, he stopped and got down on his hands and knees, moving forward methodically. That young man crawled not out of weakness, but because he had a place to reach. His determination taught me the second lesson: Sometimes we crawl not because we are weak, but because we are strong enough to continue despite hardship. The third stranger was an older man, possibly in his sixties. He walked through the park gate and stopped near the greens. After stretching slowly, he attempted a gentle jog — but within seconds, he doubled over, pressing his hands to his knees. Then, he lowered himself to the ground and crawled steadily towards a nearby seat. His face was set, but his movements stayed steady. His graceful manner taught me the third lesson: When life changes our abilities, accepting new rhythms with grace is a sign of wisdom. That afternoon, I went to the park in search of clarity. I didn’t find the answers I was looking for. I found three strangers who held up three mirrors to my own life. And strangely, that was enough to make me move forward. 4. What made the author feel lost at the beginning? A. Failure to set and reach his life goals. B. Inner confusion in the rushing world. C. Being unsure about the travel destination. D. Being an outsider among the middle-aged. 5. How did the baby behave in the new environment? A. She explored it eagerly. B. She struggled to her feet. C. She turned to her mother. D. She focused on small goals. 6. What did the author learn from the old man? A. Accept changes gracefully. B. Keep going despite hardship. C. Work out with great caution. D. Fight against aging tirelessly. 7. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Fast World, Pure Soul B. Heavy Steps, Curious Heart C. Crawling through Life’s Path D. Counting Every Small Victory 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述作者中年陷入人生迷茫，在公园偶遇三位陌生人，从他们爬行的状态中悟出人生道理，重拾前行勇气。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Midlife had crept in (悄然来临) uninvited, and the fast-paced world left me feeling lost. I couldn’t help wondering: Where am I headed now.(中年悄然而至，快节奏的世界让我感到迷茫。我不禁疑惑：我现在要去往何方。)”可知，快节奏的生活让作者内心迷茫不知所措。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The baby girl took a few seconds to take in her new kingdom, and then set off crawling (爬行) with boundless enthusiasm — tipping over and correcting herself.(女婴花了几秒钟适应这片新天地，随后满怀热情地爬起来，摔倒后又自行调整姿态。)”可知，女婴满怀兴致地探索新环境。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“His graceful manner taught me the third lesson: When life changes our abilities, accepting new rhythms with grace is a sign of wisdom.(他从容的姿态教会我第三个道理：当生活改变我们的能力时，优雅接纳新的生活节奏是一种智慧。)”可知，作者从老人身上学到要优雅接受人生带来的改变。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“That afternoon, I went to the park in search of clarity. I didn’t find the answers I was looking for. I found three strangers who held up three mirrors to my own life. And strangely, that was enough to make me move forward.(那天下午，我去公园寻求内心解惑。我没有找到想要的答案，却遇见三位陌生人，他们如三面镜子映照我的人生，而奇妙的是，这足以让我继续前行。)”可知，文章以三位陌生人不同的爬行姿态为线索，讲述各自背后蕴含的人生哲理，围绕人生路上如爬行一般历经境遇、从容前行展开，所以“Crawling through Life’s Path(在人生路上爬行)”最能概括全文核心，适合作为最佳标题。 C An ancient yet challenging regenerative harvesting technique has provided China with a new sustainable weapon in its search for food security, an unmanned ratoon rice (再生稻) farm that produces 50 percent higher yields. It aims to help meet China’s 2032 goal of growing 90 percent of its own grain, including rice, corn, soybeans and wheat. The world’s first smart farm for ratoon rice was built by a Chinese biotechnology company and scientists from several institutes by applying smart seedling care, sowing, growing and harvesting. With the entire intelligent and minimally staffed base covering 200 hectares, the farm has enabled an ancient but technically challenging technique of harvesting the second rice crop grown from the stubble (稻茬) of the first harvest. Unlike traditional two-season rice, which requires replanting after each harvest, ratoon rice is considered a sustainable farming practice because it does not require replanting and allows for a higher yield on a single planting cycle. Though the technique has existed for a long time, it has not been used in modern farming because hand-driven mechanical harvesters often both crush (压碎) the rice stubble and pack down the soil during the first harvest. But by using smart, unmanned equipment, the rate of rice stubble crushing at the smart farm has been reduced to 18 percent, compared with traditional manual harvesters. Beyond this farm, China pushes for a diversified food supply and food security through other innovations, such as growing salt-tolerant rice in Xinjiang’s desert areas. Breakthroughs in rice genetics, automated machinery and smart monitoring have made this possible. The farm uses AI, cloud computing, the Internet of Things and BeiDou to operate unmanned rice transplanters and harvesters. After three years of trials, it has grown from an experimental field into a copyable model. 8. Why does China develop the ratoon rice farm? A. To modernize harvesting tools. B. To ensure reliable grain supply. C. To control production expenses. D. To feature China’s tech progress. 9. How is the harvest increased with ratoon rice? A. By planting new seeds. B. By reducing chemical use. C. By protecting the stubble. D. By using traditional harvesters. 10. What is the problem of traditional harvesting methods? A. They damage growing conditions. B. They require high costs. C. They cause serious soil pollution. D. They waste water resources. 11. What does the last paragraph imply about the smart farm? A. It improves the quality of rice. B. It slows down desertification. C. It allows for broader application. D. It gains worldwide recognition. 【答案】8. B 9. C 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了中国在再生稻种植方面取得的进展，包括再生稻农场的建设、再生稻的可持续种植优势、传统收割方法的问题以及智能农场对再生稻种植的推动作用。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“It aims to help meet China’s 2032 goal of growing 90 percent of its own grain, including rice, corn, soybeans and wheat.(它的目标是帮助中国实现到2032年自主种植90%粮食的目标，包括大米、玉米、大豆和小麦。)”可知，中国发展再生稻农场是为了确保可靠的粮食供应。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Unlike traditional two-season rice, which requires replanting after each harvest, ratoon rice is considered a sustainable farming practice because it does not require replanting and allows for a higher yield on a single planting cycle. Though the technique has existed for a long time, it has not been used in modern farming because hand-driven mechanical harvesters often both crush the rice stubble and pack down the soil during the first harvest.(与传统的两季稻不同，传统的两季稻每次收获后都需要重新种植，而再生稻被认为是一种可持续的耕作方式，因为它不需要重新种植，并且可以在一个种植周期内获得更高的产量。尽管这项技术已经存在了很长时间，但它并没有在现代农业中使用，因为手动机械收割机在第一次收获时往往会压碎稻茬并压实土壤。)”可知，再生稻通过保护稻茬来增加收成。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Though the technique has existed for a long time, it has not been used in modern farming because hand-driven mechanical harvesters often both crush the rice stubble and pack down the soil during the first harvest.(尽管这项技术已经存在了很长时间，但它并没有在现代农业中使用，因为手动机械收割机在第一次收割时经常压碎稻茬并压实土壤。)”可知，传统收割方法的问题是它们破坏了生长条件。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The farm uses AI, cloud computing, the Internet of Things and BeiDou to operate unmanned rice transplanters and harvesters. After three years of trials, it has grown from an experimental field into a copyable model.(农场使用人工智能、云计算、物联网和北斗来操作无人水稻插秧机和收割机。经过三年的试验，它已经从试验田发展成为一个可复制的模式。)”可知，最后一段暗示了智能农场允许更广泛的应用。 D Brain research provides powerful insights into the mechanism of how people like music. Understanding why human beings like music requires exploring the value of music to the brain. A recent article about music is currently enjoying wide circulation. In it, we learn that our brains are inborn to respond emotionally to music. The author illustrates this concept through the story of a man whose brain doesn’t respond emotionally to music and this condition affects roughly 5 percent of people. Tests of this man’s brain reveal that he lacks strong neural connections between the hearing system and the emotional system in his brain. The article explains how we like music, but not why. To answer why, we need to explore the evolutionary value of music. 95 percent of people do respond emotionally to music, and this response is hardwired into our brains through our genes. So important that it promotes survival. The brain makes predictions about what will happen next. This ability is valuable because an organism can more effectively prepare an appropriate response to an event if that event can be predicted. Like any skill, prediction improves with practice, and music helps the brain practice this ability. One explanation for our emotional response to music is called the prediction model. According to it, the brain uses its knowledge of musical structure to predict what will come next. Our emotional responses either follow these expectations or break them, which influence whether we like the music or not. They also connect us to the practice of using music to strengthen our prediction skills. Music also helps manage our inner emotional world. Even when we try to avoid them, unwanted thoughts and feelings can arise from the subconscious. One effective strategy is engaging with music. The most common reason people listen to music is to change their mood. Music becomes a tool when unwelcome thoughts threaten to overwhelm us. Feeling down? Play upbeat music. Feeling anxious? Listen to calm, soothing music. Feeling bored? Try an unfamiliar style. 12. What causes the man’s inability to respond emotionally to music? A. His hearing system is affected. B. His emotional system is overactive. C. He shows little interest in music. D. He lacks necessary neural connections. 13. What does the underlined phrase “is hardwired into” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Is built into. B. Is divided into. C. Is learned by. D. Is controlled by. 14. What decides people’s preference for a certain piece of music? A. The complexity of music structure. B. The frequency of listening to music. C. The listener’s real-time emotional state. D. The match between music and predictions. 15. What is the text mainly about? A. Unique skills human brain develops. B. Reasons behind people’s love for music. C. How music shapes people’s social life. D. How the brain’s prediction model works. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要探讨人们喜欢音乐的原因，从大脑对音乐的情感反应机制，到音乐在进化中的价值，如帮助大脑练习预测能力、管理内心情感世界等方面进行阐述。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Tests of this man’s brain reveal that he lacks strong neural connections between the hearing system and the emotional system in his brain.(对这个男人大脑的测试表明，他大脑中听觉系统和情感系统之间缺乏强大的神经连接)”可知，导致这个男人无法对音乐产生情感反应的原因是他缺乏必要的神经连接。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“95 percent of people do respond emotionally to music, and this response is hardwired into our brains through our genes. So important that it promotes survival.(95%的人确实会对音乐产生情感反应，这种反应通过我们的基因is hardwired into我们的大脑。它非常重要，以至于能促进生存)”可知，这里说的是这种情感反应是通过基因植入大脑中的，“is hardwired into”意思最接近“Is built into（内置到；植入）”。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“According to it, the brain uses its knowledge of musical structure to predict what will come next. Our emotional responses either follow these expectations or break them, which influence whether we like the music or not.(根据它（预测模型），大脑利用其对音乐结构的了解来预测接下来会发生什么。我们的情感反应要么遵循这些预期，要么打破它们，这会影响我们是否喜欢这首音乐)”可知，音乐与预测之间的匹配程度决定了人们对某一首音乐的偏好。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Brain research provides powerful insights into the mechanism of how people like music. Understanding why human beings like music requires exploring the value of music to the brain.(大脑研究为人类喜爱音乐的内在机制提供了深刻见解。 想要弄清人类为何喜爱音乐，就需要探究音乐对大脑的价值)”可知，文章开篇指出理解人们喜欢音乐的原因需要探索音乐对大脑的价值，接着从大脑对音乐的情感反应、音乐在进化中的价值、预测模型以及音乐对管理内心情感的作用等方面，全面阐述了人们喜欢音乐背后的原因，所以“Reasons behind people’s love for music(人们喜欢音乐背后的原因)”最能概括文章主旨。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据下面短文，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。 How to manage digital rage We’ve all been there: you scroll (滚动) through social media, spot a rude comment or misleading news, and suddenly feel angry. ____16____.

But the pressure of teaching had left me desperate for a change. When I heard about an opening for a Spanish teacher at the public high school in a small town, it felt like a gift. I would work at a place that was only five minutes away from my home — the same school my daughter attended. Life would finally get a little easier. Two months in, none of my classes was going well. I was working longer hours than ever, going through online resources, reading old lesson plans, searching for something that would get my students excited about learning Spanish. But every day, I returned to bored faces and complaints. I felt like a beginner in the classroom, not an experienced teacher. No matter how I tried, I couldn’t seem to bond with my students. This day was no exception. I was helping a student with a worksheet when another student, Eliza, yelled from across the room. “I can’t do it. This worksheet is really hard. I hate this class!” she said, glaring at me. I felt a twist in my heart. Eliza had started the year bubbly, full of enthusiasm. I was the one who had lost her. Not for the first time, I kept asking myself who could help me out here? I remembered seeing those words in the library: “A good book usually helps on a bad day.” Maybe that’s what I needed, a good book. After school, I went to the town library. I ran my fingers along the book and stopped on My Journey with Maya. I pulled the book off the shelf and read. Before I knew it, I was 30 pages in, drawn to the advice about struggle. One paragraph jumped out at me: “I’ve tried to remind myself that even the worst news may well carry a blessing. It might take a day, a week, a year, or even a lifetime for that blessing to appear, but appear it will.” Did my own struggles in the classroom carry such a blessing? I certainly didn’t want to wait a lifetime for it. 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。 The message I’d received that day shifted my attitude. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ A few months later, I met with Eliza’s mother at a parent-teacher conference. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The message I’d received that day shifted my attitude. I replaced the dry worksheets with lively stories and music, allowing myself to be a learner with them rather than a beginner. I paid attention to the girl who had yelled at me, sharing the message about hidden blessings with her. She seemed more focused in my class after her outburst. As the semester progressed, the heavy atmosphere in the room gradually lifted, leading up to the moment I would finally see the blessings in my class. A few months later, I met with Eliza’s mother at a parent-teacher conference. As she sat down, she greeted me with a grateful smile that instantly eased my nerves. “Eliza loves your class,” she said. “She’s always practicing Spanish at home.” As I heard this, the “twist in my heart” I had felt months ago was replaced by a wave of warmth and relief. The girl, who had once “hated” the class, now became the very spark that saved my career. It turned out that I didn’t have to wait a lifetime — or even a school year — for my blessing to appear. 【解析】 【导语】文章以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在费城一所学校教了20年西班牙语，因教学压力渴望改变，于是转到离家很近、女儿也就读的小镇公立高中任教，本以为生活会变得轻松。可入职两个月后教学状况很糟糕，尽管作者费尽心思备课，学生依旧毫无兴趣、不愿配合，作者难以和学生建立情感联结。随后作者去小镇图书馆读书排解心情，被书中“困境中往往藏着福气，只是需要时间显现”的话语触动，开始反思自己教学上的困境是否也暗藏转机。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者转变了教学心态与方式，还主动开导了曾发脾气的学生Eliza，课堂氛围慢慢好转。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者从Eliza母亲口中得知，Eliza如今很喜欢西班牙语课以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：转变教学心态与方式——主动开导Eliza——Eliza喜欢西班牙语——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①代替：replace/take the place of ②拯救：save/rescue ③向……大喊：yell at/shout at 情绪类 ①专注的：focused/concentrated ②喜欢：love/be fond of ③感激的：grateful/appreciative 【点睛】[高分句型1]I replaced the dry worksheets with lively stories and music, allowing myself to be a learner with them rather than a beginner.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2]The girl, who had once “hated” the class, now became the very spark that saved my career.（运用了who引导非限制性定语从句，that引导限制性定语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
