The Undercover Economist A favourite of the 10Eighty team is Tim Harford’s The Undercover Economist — if you’ve ever wondered why the gap between the rich and the poor is so great, then this book is for you. Relatable and engaging, Harford highlights the relevance of economics to everyday life, from buying a coffee to sitting in a traffic jam. He exposes how coffee shops, supermarkets and airlines convince us to part with our money, shedding light on how to apply economic principles to everyday life. Slow Productivity 10Eighty’s researcher also recommends Slow Productivity by Cal Newport for the summer reading list. In the modern workplace workers feel pushed to the edge by continual meetings, overflowing inboxes, non-stop busywork, and office rules that laugh at autonomy and agency. Newport offers alternative strategies for knowledge workers to do the best work of their lives by taking a slower approach to work that matters. Tom Sawyer Few books are better at sparking eagerness to act than Mark Twain’s Tom Sawyer. Forced to paint a fence white rather than play with his friends, naughty Tom finds a way to make it seem so appealing that the local kids want to do it — and end up paying Tom for the privilege. Business-school professors call it “psychic rewards”. What is your favorite from this summer reading list? Why not share your ideas with us below? 1. How does Tim Harford make economics accessible in The Undercover Economist? A. By analyzing economic theories in depth. B. By revealing how businesses fuel spending. C. By explaining the cause of the wealth gap. D. By connecting economic concepts to daily life. 2. What does Cal Newport suggest knowledge workers do? A. Follow office rules strictly. B. Accelerate work pace. C. Slow down to tackle key tasks. D. Schedule frequent meetings. 3. According to the passage, why is Tom Sawyer recommended for summer reading? A. It stimulates motivation effectively. B. It describes the life of a clever boy. C. It tells an exciting kids’ adventure tale. D. It shows how to deal with naughty kids. B Jason, a student from Manchester, used to spend his afternoons alone. Now, he performs classical music with peers on weekends. This change began when he received a 114-year-old cello (大提琴) from a charity. The instrument, once broken and nearly silent, was rescued and restored, and now Jason gives it a new voice. Jason’s story reflects a wider movement in the UK, where over 10,000 instruments are thrown away annually. While some are beyond repair, many can be saved. With school budgets tight, these recovery efforts do more than reduce waste — they provide the tools that help young people. To address musical waste, various initiatives have sprung up. Since 2012, Arts Council England has run 43 regional music centers that loan out instruments at nearly no rates and carry out repairs. Grassroots programs also make a difference. Dr. Jo Yee Cheung, a music educator in Manchester, started taking home damaged instruments that no one else would touch. She found that too often people were replacing instruments that could easily be fixed rather than repairing them. Eventually, she applied for funding from Oglesby Charitable Trust, and launched the Olympías Music Foundation, where Jason received his cello. The foundation supports young people from low-income households with free, high-quality music education. The movement has roots in international inspiration too. The UK charity Nucleo, for example, now operates a national instrument donation bank. “We receive two or three offers of instruments daily,” says manager Nina Kaye. Donors are glad their instruments will help children who couldn’t afford them. So far, the bank has distributed over 3,000 instruments. Back in his classroom, Jason adjusts his cello and gets ready to play his favorite song, Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. His cello might not be new, but it is perfectly in tune — just like the growing effort that saved it from silence. 4. What does the movement in the UK refer to? A. Fighting against musical waste. B. Pushing young people to learn music. C. Saving and reusing abandoned instruments. D. Providing cheap instruments for young people. 5. What do we know about Dr. Jo Yee Cheung? A. She teaches cello at a local school. B. She started a program that repairs instruments. C. She runs regional centers for Arts Council England. D. She founded a foundation offering free music education. 6. What motivates people to donate instruments? A. Making profits from the bank. B. Seeing their instruments revive. C. Obtaining public praise. D. Following an international trend. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Jason: A Promising Cello Player. B. An Old Cello produces New Music. C. A Movement Changes Musical Education. D. Instruments Help Young People Grow. C Near the Dominican Republic’s coast, tiny lab-grown “coral babies” are attached to spider-like metal structures in underwater nurseries. This is the assisted coral fertilization program led by local marine protection group Fundemar, offering a glimmer of hope for the world’s declining coral reefs. The technology is critically important amid severe reef degradation. Seventy percent of the Dominican Republic’s coral reefs now have less than 5% coral cover. Climate change not only kills corals directly through warming oceans but also significantly reduces the natural reproduction chances of surviving individuals. “What was once normal in coral reefs is no longer possible for many species,” noted Andreina Valdez, a biologist at Fundemar. Assisted fertilization fills this gap by artificially facilitating gamete fusion (配子融合) . The implementation follows a precise process. Each year, a few days after the full moon at dusk, corals release millions of eggs and sperm. Fundemar’s team collects these gametes, performs artificial fertilization in the lab, and nurtures the larvae (幼体) until they are robust enough for transplantation to reefs. Though only 1% of the 2. 5 million embryos cultivated annually survive in the wild, this rate still outperforms natural reproduction on degraded reefs. It holds distinct advantages over the non-sexual reproduction used in the past. Non-sexual reproduction involves transplanting fragments of healthy corals, which is faster but produces genetically identical clones vulnerable to mass disease outbreaks. In contrast, assisted sexual reproduction creates genetically diverse individuals, significantly lowering the risk of widespread die-offs. Originating in Australia, the technology has now expanded across the Caribbean, with projects in Mexico, Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Jamaica. However, a fundamental challenge remains: climate change. UNESCO data shows oceans are warming twice as fast as 20 years ago, increasing coral bleaching risks. Expert Mark Eakin stated, “You can’t conserve something if you don’t have it. So these programs are helping to expand the population that’s out there.” Yet he urgently warns, “Without tackling the 800-pound gorilla of climate change, much restoration work could be wiped out.” But, for Fundemar, current efforts matter, “We are investing immense effort to protect what we love, and we trust many around the world are doing the same. ” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain the reason of coral decline. B. To advocate for coral protection. C. To present a coral conservation project. D. To highlight coral’s economic value. 9. What does the underlined phrase “this gap” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The challenge of climate change. B. The lack of funding for marine research. C. The absence of underwater nurseries. D. The failure of natural coral reproduction. 10. What is the primary advantage of assisted fertilization? A. Faster growth. B. Wide-spread application. C. Genetic diversity. D. Lower disease-resistance. 11. What is Mark Eakin’s attitude toward assisted fertilization? A. Entirely supportive. B. Clearly indifferent. C. Strongly opposed. D. Cautiously hopeful. D Scoring systems have become a defining feature of modern life. We rank wines, track daily steps, count online likes, and judge academic performance through numbers. In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen offers a careful examination of how such systems shape not only our decisions, but also our values. Nguyen begins with the world of professional wine tasting. Critics often rely on numerical scales to judge wines under strictly controlled conditions, usually tasting without food to reduce variation. While this practice is understandable, Nguyen asks, “How could you score a ‘best’ wine if one is incredibly good with tomato sauces but kind of listless with anything else, and then rank it against a wine that is moderately good with every food?” To make scoring possible, variability is removed, but so is much of what gives wine its richness and pleasure. More seriously, Nguyen argues that scoring systems do not simply describe reality; they reshape it. Because high scores increase sales, winemakers are encouraged to design wines that perform well within scoring frameworks. Over time, this leads to what Nguyen calls “fruit bombs” — wines that are bold and immediately impressive, but lack depth when paired with food. In this way, the scoring system gradually transforms the industry itself, favoring what is easily measurable over what is genuinely meaningful. Nguyen uses this example to introduce a broader concept he calls “value capture.” This occurs when simplified metrics (衡量指标) fail to reflect what we originally cared about, yet slowly replace those values. Similar patterns appear across modern society. Fitness trackers promote fixed step counts regardless of individual health needs; Social media; Nguyen suggests, offers a particularly clear case. Platforms record likes, shares; and followers, but ignore qualities such as empathy or intellectual growth. He describes this mismatch as “the Gap”, referring to the distance between what is measured and what truly matters. Such tensions are not limited to digital spaces. Drawn to philosophy by deep inquiry, he later found himself pushed toward narrowly defined outputs. The pressure to perform well on measurable indicators can quietly reshape priorities. Despite his critique, Nguyen does not reject scoring systems entirely. As a passionate board and video gamer, he acknowledges that following external rules can be enjoyable. The danger arises when people mistake metrics for value itself. Scores should serve human purposes; not replace them. Ultimately, The Score calls for a more reflective attitude toward numbers. By remembering why we measure in the first place, Nguyen argues, we can resist allowing scores to decide what deserves attention, effort, and care. 12. Why does Nguyen introduce the example of wine tasting at the beginning of the passage? A. To show that numerical evaluation can impact consumer decision-making. B. To argue that professional critics misunderstand public preferences. C. To demonstrate how scoring systems remove meaningful complexity. D. To compare different cultural attitudes toward wine appreciation. 13. What does the underlined word “bold” in paragraph 3 mean? A. strong B. daring C. rich D. plain 14. Which of the following best illustrates “the Gap” mentioned in the passage? A. Student focusing on test scores rather than learning itself. B. A critic adjusting ratings to reflect personal taste. C. A company refusing to use data in decision-making. D. A gamer ignoring rules to increase enjoyment. 15. What is Nguyen’s overall attitude toward scoring systems? A. Dismissive. B. Cautious. C. Neutral. D. Hostile. 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。 Every child should have access to safe and nutritious food, because the quality of their early diet greatly influences their long-term health.

I spotted a classmate leaving the psychology building, and he broke the news: the exam had started at 11:00 a.m., not our usual 12:20 class time as I’d assumed. Panic hit me hard for a few seconds. I took a deep breath to calm down. “Stay calm — you can fix this,” I told myself. My plan was clear: find my professor, Mr. White, and explain what happened. On my way into the building, I ran into Amanda, who was in charge of the program. I told her my problem, and her encouraging words gave me some confidence. I held onto hope that my professor was nearby. I decided to check his office, and on the way, I’d look for his car. I was both in awe of and a little scared of this professor — a middle-aged Scottish philosophy teacher with long hair, known for his sharp wit and bad mood when annoyed. Before reaching the parking lot, I crossed my fingers: “Please let his car be here, and let him be in a good mood.” Relief washed over me when I saw his car. I hurried to his office, my heart racing fast. But his office light was on, and no one was inside. I didn’t want to give up, though — so I thought: Try the Kampus Korner diner. As I walked to the diner, I felt a sudden courage. I opened the door, and there he was, grading papers near the entrance. It was perfect timing. “I missed your 11:00 exam,” I said, my voice steadier than I expected. “I know,” he replied calmly. “I was there. You should have been, too.” His words made me nervous, but I knew honesty was my only choice. “It’s all my fault,” I admitted. “I didn’t double-check the time for the final I’d studied so hard for.” 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。 Surprisingly, he smiled, pulling a two-page double-sided exam paper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Time was up and I handed the exam paper to my professor, feeling restless and uneasy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期高二年级期中考试试题 英语 （满分150分，考试时间120分钟） 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

Since 2012, Arts Council England has run 43 regional music centers that loan out instruments at nearly no rates and carry out repairs. Grassroots programs also make a difference. Dr. Jo Yee Cheung, a music educator in Manchester, started taking home damaged instruments that no one else would touch. She found that too often people were replacing instruments that could easily be fixed rather than repairing them. Eventually, she applied for funding from Oglesby Charitable Trust, and launched the Olympías Music Foundation, where Jason received his cello. The foundation supports young people from low-income households with free, high-quality music education. The movement has roots in international inspiration too. The UK charity Nucleo, for example, now operates a national instrument donation bank. “We receive two or three offers of instruments daily,” says manager Nina Kaye. Donors are glad their instruments will help children who couldn’t afford them. So far, the bank has distributed over 3,000 instruments. Back in his classroom, Jason adjusts his cello and gets ready to play his favorite song, Coldplay’s Viva la Vida. His cello might not be new, but it is perfectly in tune — just like the growing effort that saved it from silence. 4. What does the movement in the UK refer to? A. Fighting against musical waste. B. Pushing young people to learn music. C. Saving and reusing abandoned instruments. D. Providing cheap instruments for young people. 5. What do we know about Dr. Jo Yee Cheung? A. She teaches cello at a local school. B. She started a program that repairs instruments. C. She runs regional centers for Arts Council England. D. She founded a foundation offering free music education. 6. What motivates people to donate instruments? A. Making profits from the bank. B. Seeing their instruments revive. C. Obtaining public praise. D. Following an international trend. 7. What is a suitable title for the text? A. Jason: A Promising Cello Player. B. An Old Cello produces New Music. C. A Movement Changes Musical Education. D. Instruments Help Young People Grow. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. B 7.

The instrument, once broken and nearly silent, was rescued and restored, and now Jason gives it a new voice.(这一转变始于他从一家慈善机构收到一把有114年历史的大提琴。这件曾破损不堪、几乎发不出声音的乐器被修复重焕生机，如今杰森让它奏响了新的乐章)”以及最后一段中的“His cello might not be new, but it is perfectly in tune — just like the growing effort that saved it from silence.(他的大提琴或许并不崭新，但音色精准完美——正如这场不断壮大的公益行动，让它告别沉寂、重获新生)”可知，全文以这把老旧大提琴为核心线索，讲述废弃乐器被修复后助力青少年追逐音乐梦想的故事，既体现旧物新生，又串联全文主旨。B项“一把老旧大提琴奏出新乐章”概括全文主旨，适合作本文标题。故选B项。 C Near the Dominican Republic’s coast, tiny lab-grown “coral babies” are attached to spider-like metal structures in underwater nurseries. This is the assisted coral fertilization program led by local marine protection group Fundemar, offering a glimmer of hope for the world’s declining coral reefs. The technology is critically important amid severe reef degradation. Seventy percent of the Dominican Republic’s coral reefs now have less than 5% coral cover. Climate change not only kills corals directly through warming oceans but also significantly reduces the natural reproduction chances of surviving individuals. “What was once normal in coral reefs is no longer possible for many species,” noted Andreina Valdez, a biologist at Fundemar. Assisted fertilization fills this gap by artificially facilitating gamete fusion (配子融合) . The implementation follows a precise process. Each year, a few days after the full moon at dusk, corals release millions of eggs and sperm. Fundemar’s team collects these gametes, performs artificial fertilization in the lab, and nurtures the larvae (幼体) until they are robust enough for transplantation to reefs. Though only 1% of the 2. 5 million embryos cultivated annually survive in the wild, this rate still outperforms natural reproduction on degraded reefs. It holds distinct advantages over the non-sexual reproduction used in the past. Non-sexual reproduction involves transplanting fragments of healthy corals, which is faster but produces genetically identical clones vulnerable to mass disease outbreaks. In contrast, assisted sexual reproduction creates genetically diverse individuals, significantly lowering the risk of widespread die-offs. Originating in Australia, the technology has now expanded across the Caribbean, with projects in Mexico, Curaçao, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Jamaica. However, a fundamental challenge remains: climate change. UNESCO data shows oceans are warming twice as fast as 20 years ago, increasing coral bleaching risks. Expert Mark Eakin stated, “You can’t conserve something if you don’t have it. So these programs are helping to expand the population that’s out there.” Yet he urgently warns, “Without tackling the 800-pound gorilla of climate change, much restoration work could be wiped out.” But, for Fundemar, current efforts matter, “We are investing immense effort to protect what we love, and we trust many around the world are doing the same. ” 8. What is the purpose of the first paragraph? A. To explain the reason of coral decline. B. To advocate for coral protection. C. To present a coral conservation project. D. To highlight coral’s economic value. 9. What does the underlined phrase “this gap” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The challenge of climate change. B. The lack of funding for marine research. C. The absence of underwater nurseries. D. The failure of natural coral reproduction. 10. What is the primary advantage of assisted fertilization? A. Faster growth. B. Wide-spread application. C. Genetic diversity. D. Lower disease-resistance. 11. What is Mark Eakin’s attitude toward assisted fertilization? A. Entirely supportive. B. Clearly indifferent. C. Strongly opposed. D. Cautiously hopeful. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了海洋保护组织Fundemar在多米尼加共和国海岸附近实施人工辅助珊瑚受精计划，为世界上正在衰退的珊瑚礁带来了一线希望。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Near the Dominican Republic’s coast, tiny lab-grown “coral babies” are attached to spider-like metal structures in underwater nurseries. This is the assisted coral fertilization program led by local marine protection group Fundemar, offering a glimmer of hope for the world’s declining coral reefs.(在多米尼加共和国海岸附近，实验室培育的“珊瑚宝宝”附着在水下苗圃的蜘蛛状金属结构上。这是由当地海洋保护组织Fundemar领导的辅助珊瑚受精计划，为世界上正在衰退的珊瑚礁带来了一线希望。)”可知，第一段开篇介绍了多米尼加当地保护组织开展的人工辅助珊瑚授精保护计划，引出本文话题，目的是展示该珊瑚保护计划。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。“this gap”指代的是上文内容，结合第二段中的“Climate change not only kills corals directly through warming oceans but also significantly reduces the natural reproduction chances of surviving individuals. “What was once normal in coral reefs is no longer possible for many species,” noted Andreina Valdez, a biologist at Fundemar.(气候变化不仅通过海洋变暖直接杀死珊瑚，而且大大降低了幸存个体的自然繁殖机会。Fundemar的生物学家Andreina Valdez指出：“珊瑚礁中曾经正常的事情对许多珊瑚物种来说已经不可能了。”)”可知，气候变化严重降低了存活珊瑚的自然繁殖概率，很多珊瑚物种已经无法自然完成繁殖，因此辅助人工授精填补的就是“珊瑚自然繁殖失败”这一空缺。故选D。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“In contrast, assisted sexual reproduction creates genetically diverse individuals, significantly lowering the risk of widespread die-offs.(相比之下，辅助有性繁殖创造了基因多样的个体，大大降低了广泛死亡的风险。)”可知，辅助有性繁殖的优势是创造基因多样性。故选C。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Expert Mark Eakin stated, “You can’t conserve something if you don’t have it. So these programs are helping to expand the population that’s out there.” Yet he urgently warns, “Without tackling the 800-pound gorilla of climate change, much restoration work could be wiped out.”(专家Mark Eakin表示：“如果你没有某个东西，你就无法保护它。因此，这些项目正在帮助扩大那里的数量。”然而，他紧急警告说：“如果不解决800磅重的气候变化问题，许多恢复工作可能会付诸东流。”)”可知，Mark Eakin首先肯定了辅助授精项目能够帮助扩大现有珊瑚种群，同时又警告：如果不解决气候变化这个核心问题，大部分修复工作都会白费。因此他的态度是谨慎抱有希望。故选D。 D Scoring systems have become a defining feature of modern life. We rank wines, track daily steps, count online likes, and judge academic performance through numbers. In The Score, philosopher C. Thi Nguyen offers a careful examination of how such systems shape not only our decisions, but also our values. Nguyen begins with the world of professional wine tasting. Critics often rely on numerical scales to judge wines under strictly controlled conditions, usually tasting without food to reduce variation. While this practice is understandable, Nguyen asks, “How could you score a ‘best’ wine if one is incredibly good with tomato sauces but kind of listless with anything else, and then rank it against a wine that is moderately good with every food?” To make scoring possible, variability is removed, but so is much of what gives wine its richness and pleasure. More seriously, Nguyen argues that scoring systems do not simply describe reality; they reshape it. Because high scores increase sales, winemakers are encouraged to design wines that perform well within scoring frameworks. Over time, this leads to what Nguyen calls “fruit bombs” — wines that are bold and immediately impressive, but lack depth when paired with food. In this way, the scoring system gradually transforms the industry itself, favoring what is easily measurable over what is genuinely meaningful. Nguyen uses this example to introduce a broader concept he calls “value capture.” This occurs when simplified metrics (衡量指标) fail to reflect what we originally cared about, yet slowly replace those values. Similar patterns appear across modern society. Fitness trackers promote fixed step counts regardless of individual health needs; Social media; Nguyen suggests, offers a particularly clear case. Platforms record likes, shares; and followers, but ignore qualities such as empathy or intellectual growth. He describes this mismatch as “the Gap”, referring to the distance between what is measured and what truly matters. Such tensions are not limited to digital spaces. Drawn to philosophy by deep inquiry, he later found himself pushed toward narrowly defined outputs. The pressure to perform well on measurable indicators can quietly reshape priorities. Despite his critique, Nguyen does not reject scoring systems entirely. As a passionate board and video gamer, he acknowledges that following external rules can be enjoyable. The danger arises when people mistake metrics for value itself. Scores should serve human purposes; not replace them. Ultimately, The Score calls for a more reflective attitude toward numbers. By remembering why we measure in the first place, Nguyen argues, we can resist allowing scores to decide what deserves attention, effort, and care. 12. Why does Nguyen introduce the example of wine tasting at the beginning of the passage? A. To show that numerical evaluation can impact consumer decision-making. B. To argue that professional critics misunderstand public preferences. C. To demonstrate how scoring systems remove meaningful complexity. D. To compare different cultural attitudes toward wine appreciation. 13. What does the underlined word “bold” in paragraph 3 mean? A. strong B. daring C. rich D. plain 14. Which of the following best illustrates “the Gap” mentioned in the passage? A. Student focusing on test scores rather than learning itself. B. A critic adjusting ratings to reflect personal taste. C. A company refusing to use data in decision-making. D. A gamer ignoring rules to increase enjoyment. 15. What is Nguyen’s overall attitude toward scoring systems? A. Dismissive. B. Cautious. C. Neutral. D. Hostile. 【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要说明了评分系统是现代生活特征，它虽方便却会抹去事物的丰富意义，用简单指标替代真正价值。Nguyen批判其弊端，但不彻底否定，呼吁人们理性看待分数。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“To make scoring possible, variability is removed, but so is much of what gives wine its richness and pleasure.(为了实现评分的目的，多样性被消除了，但随之消失的还有赋予葡萄酒丰富口感和愉悦体验的诸多元素)”可知，Nguyen在文章开头引入了品酒的例子是为了说明评分系统是如何消除有意义的复杂性的。故选C。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“immediately impressive (立即给人留下深刻印象)”可知，这些葡萄酒立即给人留下深刻印象，说明口感浓烈、强烈。故划线词意思是“浓烈、强烈”。故选C。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“He describes this mismatch as “the Gap”, referring to the distance between what is measured and what truly matters.(他将这种不匹配现象称为“差距”，指的是所测量的内容与真正重要之事之间的差距)”可知，学生只关注考试成绩而忽视了学习本身最能体现文中所提到的“差距”。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Despite his critique, Nguyen does not reject scoring systems entirely. As a passionate board and video gamer, he acknowledges that following external rules can be enjoyable. The danger arises when people mistake metrics for value itself.(尽管有上述批评，Nguyen并未完全否定评分系统。作为一位热衷于电子游戏和桌游的玩家，他承认遵循外部规则本身是令人愉悦的。但问题在于，人们往往会将衡量标准误认为是价值本身)”可知，Nguyen对于评分体系的总体态度是谨慎的。故选B。 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。 Every child should have access to safe and nutritious food, because the quality of their early diet greatly influences their long-term health.

I spotted a classmate leaving the psychology building, and he broke the news: the exam had started at 11:00 a.m., not our usual 12:20 class time as I’d assumed. Panic hit me hard for a few seconds. I took a deep breath to calm down. “Stay calm — you can fix this,” I told myself. My plan was clear: find my professor, Mr. White, and explain what happened. On my way into the building, I ran into Amanda, who was in charge of the program. I told her my problem, and her encouraging words gave me some confidence. I held onto hope that my professor was nearby. I decided to check his office, and on the way, I’d look for his car. I was both in awe of and a little scared of this professor — a middle-aged Scottish philosophy teacher with long hair, known for his sharp wit and bad mood when annoyed. Before reaching the parking lot, I crossed my fingers: “Please let his car be here, and let him be in a good mood.” Relief washed over me when I saw his car. I hurried to his office, my heart racing fast. But his office light was on, and no one was inside. I didn’t want to give up, though — so I thought: Try the Kampus Korner diner. As I walked to the diner, I felt a sudden courage. I opened the door, and there he was, grading papers near the entrance. It was perfect timing. “I missed your 11:00 exam,” I said, my voice steadier than I expected. “I know,” he replied calmly. “I was there. You should have been, too.” His words made me nervous, but I knew honesty was my only choice. “It’s all my fault,” I admitted. “I didn’t double-check the time for the final I’d studied so hard for.” 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。 Surprisingly, he smiled, pulling a two-page double-sided exam paper. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Time was up and I handed the exam paper to my professor, feeling restless and uneasy. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Surprisingly, he smiled, pulling a two-page double-sided exam paper. “Luckily, I prepared a spare copy just in case,” he said, pushing the form and a pen toward me. “You have exactly 45 minutes — same as everyone else. No extra time, no exceptions.” I nodded eagerly, my hands still shaking slightly as I grabbed the pen. The diner was noisy with chatter, but I tuned it all out, focusing on every question. I’d studied for weeks, and the answers came to me one by one, though I paused on a few tricky multiple choices, my mind racing to recall Mr. White’s lectures. Time was up and I handed the exam paper to my professor, feeling restless and uneasy. I apologized again for my carelessness, fearing this mistake would ruin my final grade. He glanced at the form, then met my eyes with his usual sharp but kind gaze. “You did well — better than most, actually,” he said, tucking the paper into his folder. “Mistakes happen, but taking responsibility matters more. Go enjoy your break.” I let out a deep breath, gratitude flooding over me. That day, I learned kindness could hide behind a strict exterior — and to always double-check exam times. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了期末考试最后一天，作者因记错时间迟到了一小时。作者冷静寻找怀特教授，诚恳承认自己的失误。教授给了作者备用试卷，作者认真完成了考试。他不仅没有严厉批评，还肯定了作者的表现，告诉作者勇于承担责任更重要。这件事让作者学到了深刻的一课。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“令人惊讶的是，他笑了起来，然后拿出了一页又一页、双面都写满内容的试卷。”可知，第一段可描写教授给了作者备用试卷，作者认真完成了考试。 ②由第二段首句内容“时间到了，我将考试试卷交给了教授，心里既不安又焦虑。”可知，第二段可描写这件事让作者学到了深刻的一课。 2.续写线索：拿出备用试卷——肯定作者表现——作者完成考试——交还试卷——再次道歉——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①颤抖：shake/tremble ②抓起：grab/snatch up ③集中：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①担心：fear/concern ②感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1] I’d studied for weeks, and the answers came to me one by one, though I paused on a few tricky multiple choices, my mind racing to recall Mr. White’s lectures.（运用了though引导让步状语从句和独立主格） [高分句型2] I apologized again for my carelessness, fearing this mistake would ruin my final grade.（运用了现在分词作状语和省略that的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
