A top-chef career requires great passion, dedication, and hard work. Many chefs work fifteen-hour days, six days a week, in hot, noisy kitchens where precision must be kept even under high pressure. Shortly after graduating from the Prudy College of Food and Wine, I set my goal high: I sent my resume to every three-Michelin-star restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide that year. Before long, I got a trial shift at one of them. The beginning was tough. In a rush to plate dishes, I burned my arm on a hot pan. My knife skills were too slow for the head chef, who snapped, “Faster! This isn’t for grandma! “Another night, with orders piling up, I nearly dropped a full tray of desserts. Exhausted, I began doubting if I was fit for this world. Yet I didn’t give up. I practiced cutting techniques late each night, studied classic recipes until they became second nature, and trained myself to focus on one task at a time to keep calm. Slowly, I became faster and steadier. Eventually, the same strict chef gave a nod and said, “Better.” Looking back, I realize that aiming high is important, but real growth comes from pushing through difficulties with honesty and perseverance. Now, whenever I speak to young students, I tell them: follow your passion, but understand — success isn’t just about reaching the peak. True fulfillment lies in learning through challenges and choosing a path that matches both your dreams and your well-being. 4. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show how the author overcame early career challenges and gained wisdom B. To advise young people to think twice before entering the culinary industry C. To describe the daily life of a top chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant. D. To compare cooking for others with cooking for oneself 5. Why did the author begin to doubt whether he belonged in a top kitchen? A. He preferred cooking for himself rather than for customers. B. He made mistakes and felt exhausted under pressure C. He disliked the heat and noise of the environment D. His head chef never praised his efforts. 6. According to the passage, what is the author’s overall attitude toward being a top chef? A. It should be avoided unless one can handle extreme stress easily. B. It is admirable but may not suit everyone’s lifestyle and health. C. It is the only way to prove one’s true passion for cooking D. It is less rewarding than other careers in the food industry 7. From the author’s advice to young students, we can conclude that he believes ________. A. personal well-being should be part of one’s definition of success B. avoiding challenges is necessary for a balanced life C. passion alone is enough to achieve one’s dreams D. becoming a top chef is the only true success C You may not catch them on TikTok or Snapchat, but the latest data shows that the over-70s are spending more time online than any generation besides Gen Z. According to figures from the Office for National Statistics detailing how different Britons report spending their time, the 70-plus age group is second only to those in their 20s when it comes to the average amount of time using a computer or device as a primary activity separate from working or watching streamed video. The over-70 spent more time web browsing, checking email, and on other computer use than any other age group surveyed-but also spent the least time just three minutes a day on social media. The Internet can have great benefits for older people, according to the digital inclusion charity Good Things Foundation, whether it is making it easier to stay connected with loved ones keeping up to date with the latest news, or making health care appointments. Katie Heard, the head of research and data insight at the charity, said: “We know older people are most likely to be digitally excluded because they don’t have digital skills, so this data may initially appear surprising. However, there is a significant proportion of this age group that has embraced the change. Many people aged over 70 have benefited by joining thousands of others to gain digital skills in local digital inclusion hubs.” Older people are increasingly using the Internet to interact with key services. Separate figures found that pensioners were the most active users of the NHS app last year-with two-thirds of users over retirement age accessing the app within the most recent three months of data-273,500 of whom were over 80 years old. Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK, said it was good to see older people crossing the digital divide and that being online could offer a range of benefits. However, she also warned: “There is a need for more support to help those older people who want to go online to do so, but it’s also vital that those who aren’t IT users can continue to access services of all kinds in other ways. They shouldn’t be forced into a digital world just because it cuts costs for business or the government we should be using digital tech to expand choice for people, not restrict it. 8. According to the survey, which of the following activities do the over-70s spend the least time on? A. Playing computer games B. Browsing the Internet. C. Using social media. D. Checking emails. 9. From paragraph 3, what can we infer about the role of “digital inclusion hubs”? A. They have helped many over-70s overcome barriers to going online B. They are run by the government to replace traditional services C. They focus on providing healthcare services through apps D. They mainly teach older people how to use social media. 10. What can we infer from Katie Heard’s comments in paragraph 4? A. The high online activity of some seniors reflects their efforts to overcome digital barriers. B. Younger generations are better learners at digital inclusion hubs than older people. C. Local hubs mainly focus on teaching older adults to use entertainment apps. D. Most over-70s still refuse to learn digital skills despite the benefits. 11. What can be concluded from the NHS app usage and Caroline Abrahams’ warning together? A. Even with growing adoption, non-digital access remains essential for some seniors. B. Digital health services should replace all offline options to save costs. C. People over 80 are unwilling to use any form of online services. D. Pensioners prefer social media over practical apps like the NHS. D Authors once turned to fire to be rid of writing they didn’t want the world to read. Terry Pratchett took a slightly more creative — and modern — route. He ordered that his hard drive be destroyed after his death. The destroyed drive is now on display at England’s Salisbury Museum The extreme action represents a new solution to a question that has troubled authors, their families, and their publishers for centuries: If an author doesn’t want his or her work published after his or her death, must families and publishers comply — even if they believe the work is valuable? “You could say that on the one hand, an author should enjoy a kind of sovereignty over his or her unpublished material…,” says Paul Saint-Amour, a professor of humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. But what about the possible loss to world culture? Franz Kafka, for example, told his friend Max Brod he wanted his unpublished works burned after his death. If Brod had done so, Kafka’s masterpieces The Trial and The Castle would have been destroyed. Was Brod right not to do so? Sometimes an author’s desires are difficult to recognize. The family of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo author Stieg Larsson used another writer to complete one of his unfinished novels. But Larsson’s partner, Eva Gabrielsson, said Larsson would never have wanted that. To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee was alive but older when her second work, Go Set a Watchman, was released in 2015. Questions were raised as to whether this was really Lee’s wish. (The Alabama Securities Commission stated that it was.) Sometimes a good compromise can be waiting for a period of time before publication. Professor Saint-Amour points to De Profundis, Oscar Wilde’s 1897 letter to a male lover. The full text appeared in 1962 — long after the letter’s recipient and his family had died. Saint-Amour says, “I think that those surface solutions can be elegant in that they recognize the long-term cultural interest in a work while also recognizing that certain kinds of expressive works can be sensitive for the living.” 12. What does the underlined word “comply” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Attempt. B. Ignore. C. Deny. D. Obey 13. What does the author want to show by using the example of Franz Kafka? A. It’s hard to say if it’s right to go against the author B. Going against the author doesn’t do any good C. The author’s wishes should be respected. D. Not all friends can be trusted. 14. How might Stieg Larsson feel about his family’s behavior according to Eva Gabrielsson? A. Unconcerned. B. Dissatisfied. C. Grateful. D. Proud. 15. What would be a possible solution according to the last paragraph? A. Having the works judged before publication. B. Publishing the works after the author dies C. Talking the author into publication. D. Putting off publishing the works 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Relationships between teenagers and parents can sometimes become difficult.

He loved painting but never showed his work, afraid of being laughed at. His deskmate, Anna, often encouraged him, but Tom would just shake his head. Last month, the school announced an “Art Festival”. Tom secretly spent two weeks painting their school campus — the old library, the ginkgo tree, and students on the path. He was proud of it, but when the deadline came, he couldn’t hand it in. He rolled up the canvas and put it in his locker. One day at lunch, Anna saw Tom staring at his locker. He opened it and showed her the painting. Anna said, “This is amazing! You have to submit it.” Tom closed the locker. “No, I’m not good enough.” The next day, Anna told their art teacher, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang asked Tom to stay after class. Tom brought the painting to the teacher’s office. Mr. Zhang looked at it and smiled. “This is excellent. You must enter it.” Encouraged, Tom submitted his painting. A week later, it won first prize. The headmaster asked him to come on stage and say a few words. Shocked, Tom slowly walked onto the stage. Not everyone was happy, though. Jack, a classmate who also loved painting, had told his friends the day before: “The winner is probably someone the teachers like, not someone truly talented.” 注意: 续写词数应为150左右; 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Tom stood on the stage, holding the certificate, his heart racing. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: However, the praise also brought unexpected problems. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网(北京)股份有限公司 $ 高二下学期期中考试英语试题 注意事项: 答卷前,考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 回答选择题时,选出每小题答案后,用铅笔把答题卡对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动,用橡皮擦干净后,再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时,将答案写在答题卡上,写在本试卷上无效。 考试结束后,将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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.

A top-chef career requires great passion, dedication, and hard work. Many chefs work fifteen-hour days, six days a week, in hot, noisy kitchens where precision must be kept even under high pressure. Shortly after graduating from the Prudy College of Food and Wine, I set my goal high: I sent my resume to every three-Michelin-star restaurant listed in the Michelin Guide that year. Before long, I got a trial shift at one of them. The beginning was tough. In a rush to plate dishes, I burned my arm on a hot pan. My knife skills were too slow for the head chef, who snapped, “Faster! This isn’t for grandma! “Another night, with orders piling up, I nearly dropped a full tray of desserts. Exhausted, I began doubting if I was fit for this world. Yet I didn’t give up. I practiced cutting techniques late each night, studied classic recipes until they became second nature, and trained myself to focus on one task at a time to keep calm. Slowly, I became faster and steadier. Eventually, the same strict chef gave a nod and said, “Better.” Looking back, I realize that aiming high is important, but real growth comes from pushing through difficulties with honesty and perseverance. Now, whenever I speak to young students, I tell them: follow your passion, but understand — success isn’t just about reaching the peak. True fulfillment lies in learning through challenges and choosing a path that matches both your dreams and your well-being. 4. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To show how the author overcame early career challenges and gained wisdom B. To advise young people to think twice before entering the culinary industry C. To describe the daily life of a top chef in a Michelin-starred restaurant. D. To compare cooking for others with cooking for oneself 5. Why did the author begin to doubt whether he belonged in a top kitchen? A. He preferred cooking for himself rather than for customers. B. He made mistakes and felt exhausted under pressure C. He disliked the heat and noise of the environment D. His head chef never praised his efforts. 6. According to the passage, what is the author’s overall attitude toward being a top chef? A. It should be avoided unless one can handle extreme stress easily. B. It is admirable but may not suit everyone’s lifestyle and health. C. It is the only way to prove one’s true passion for cooking D. It is less rewarding than other careers in the food industry 7. From the author’s advice to young students, we can conclude that he believes ________. A. personal well-being should be part of one’s definition of success B. avoiding challenges is necessary for a balanced life C. passion alone is enough to achieve one’s dreams D. becoming a top chef is the only true success 【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者追梦米其林主厨的艰难从业经历,凭借坚持克服职场困境,并从中感悟成长与成功的真正内涵。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是尾段中的“Looking back, I realize that aiming high is important, but real growth comes from pushing through difficulties with honesty and perseverance.(回顾过往,我意识到志存高远很重要,但真正的成长源于凭借本心与毅力冲破困境。)”可知,文章主要目的是讲述作者克服职业生涯初期的磨难并从中获得人生感悟。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Another night, with orders piling up, I nearly dropped a full tray of desserts. Exhausted, I began doubting if I was fit for this world.(还有一天晚上订单堆积,我差点打翻一整托盘甜点,身心疲惫的我开始怀疑自己是否适合这个行业。)”可知,作者在压力下频频出错、身心俱疲,因此开始怀疑自己是否能胜任高端厨房的工作。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“True fulfillment lies in learning through challenges and choosing a path that matches both your dreams and your well-being.(真正的成就感在于在挑战中成长,并选择一条既契合梦想又适合自身身心健康的道路。)”可知,作者认为顶级厨师这份职业令人敬佩,但未必适合所有人的生活方式与身心状态。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据尾段中的“Now, whenever I speak to young students, I tell them: follow your passion, but understand — success isn’t just about reaching the peak. True fulfillment lies in learning through challenges and choosing a path that matches both your dreams and your well-being. (现在,每当我和年轻学子交流,我都会告诉他们:追随自己的热爱,但要明白——成功不只是抵达顶峰。真正的满足感,源于在挑战中成长,选择一条既契合梦想、又兼顾自身身心安好的人生道路。)”可知,作者认为个人身心健康理应是成功定义的一部分。 C You may not catch them on TikTok or Snapchat, but the latest data shows that the over-70s are spending more time online than any generation besides Gen Z. According to figures from the Office for National Statistics detailing how different Britons report spending their time, the 70-plus age group is second only to those in their 20s when it comes to the average amount of time using a computer or device as a primary activity separate from working or watching streamed video. The over-70 spent more time web browsing, checking email, and on other computer use than any other age group surveyed-but also spent the least time just three minutes a day on social media. The Internet can have great benefits for older people, according to the digital inclusion charity Good Things Foundation, whether it is making it easier to stay connected with loved ones keeping up to date with the latest news, or making health care appointments. Katie Heard, the head of research and data insight at the charity, said: “We know older people are most likely to be digitally excluded because they don’t have digital skills, so this data may initially appear surprising. However, there is a significant proportion of this age group that has embraced the change. Many people aged over 70 have benefited by joining thousands of others to gain digital skills in local digital inclusion hubs.” Older people are increasingly using the Internet to interact with key services. Separate figures found that pensioners were the most active users of the NHS app last year-with two-thirds of users over retirement age accessing the app within the most recent three months of data-273,500 of whom were over 80 years old. Caroline Abrahams, the charity director at Age UK, said it was good to see older people crossing the digital divide and that being online could offer a range of benefits. However, she also warned: “There is a need for more support to help those older people who want to go online to do so, but it’s also vital that those who aren’t IT users can continue to access services of all kinds in other ways. They shouldn’t be forced into a digital world just because it cuts costs for business or the government we should be using digital tech to expand choice for people, not restrict it. 8. According to the survey, which of the following activities do the over-70s spend the least time on? A. Playing computer games B. Browsing the Internet. C. Using social media. D. Checking emails. 9. From paragraph 3, what can we infer about the role of “digital inclusion hubs”? A. They have helped many over-70s overcome barriers to going online B. They are run by the government to replace traditional services C. They focus on providing healthcare services through apps D. They mainly teach older people how to use social media. 10. What can we infer from Katie Heard’s comments in paragraph 4? A. The high online activity of some seniors reflects their efforts to overcome digital barriers. B. Younger generations are better learners at digital inclusion hubs than older people. C. Local hubs mainly focus on teaching older adults to use entertainment apps. D. Most over-70s still refuse to learn digital skills despite the benefits. 11. What can be concluded from the NHS app usage and Caroline Abrahams’ warning together? A. Even with growing adoption, non-digital access remains essential for some seniors. B. Digital health services should replace all offline options to save costs. C. People over 80 are unwilling to use any form of online services. D. Pensioners prefer social media over practical apps like the NHS. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍英国七十岁以上老人上网时长现状、网络带来的益处,以及社会需兼顾老人线上线下获取服务的权益。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The over-70 spent more time web browsing, checking email, and on other computer use than any other age group surveyed-but also spent the least time just three minutes a day on social media.(70岁以上老人浏览网页、查看邮件及其他电脑使用时长高于受访其他年龄段,但每天仅花三分钟,在社交媒体上耗时最少。)”可知,七十岁以上老人在社交媒体上花费的时间最少。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“Many people aged over 70 have benefited by joining thousands of others to gain digital skills in local digital inclusion hubs.(许多七十岁以上老人在当地数字包容中心学习数字技能,从中获益。)”可知,数字包容中心帮助众多高龄老人克服上网障碍、掌握数字技能。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“We know older people are most likely to be digitally excluded because they don’t have digital skills, so this data may initially appear surprising. However, there is a significant proportion of this age group that has embraced the change.(老年人本易因缺乏数字技能被隔绝在数字生活外,这份数据看似意外,但该群体中有相当一部分人主动接受改变、学习上网。)”可知,部分老人上网活跃度高,背后是自身努力克服数字壁垒的体现。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的“Separate figures found that pensioners were the most active users of the NHS app last year-with two-thirds of users over retirement age accessing the app within the most recent three months of data-273,500 of whom were over 80 years old.(另有数据显示,退休老人是去年NHS应用程序最活跃的用户——在最近三个月的数据中,三分之二的用户超过退休年龄,其中273500人年龄在80岁以上。)”以及第六段中的“However, she also warned: “There is a need for more support to help those older people who want to go online to do so, but it’s also vital that those who aren’t IT users can continue to access services of all kinds in other ways. (然而,她也警告说:“我们需要更多支持来帮助那些想要上网的老年人,但同样重要的是,那些不使用信息技术的人能够继续通过其他方式获得各种服务。)”可知,一方面,退休老人中已有大量人习惯使用线上服务(如NHS app),体现了老年群体数字化使用率的提升;另一方面,Caroline Abrahams强调,不能强迫不擅长使用网络的老人进入数字世界,必须保留非线上的服务渠道,满足这部分老人的需求。综上可推断,即便老年群体线上使用率在增长,非数字形式的服务获取方式对部分老人来说依然至关重要。 D Authors once turned to fire to be rid of writing they didn’t want the world to read. Terry Pratchett took a slightly more creative — and modern — route. He ordered that his hard drive be destroyed after his death. The destroyed drive is now on display at England’s Salisbury Museum The extreme action represents a new solution to a question that has troubled authors, their families, and their publishers for centuries: If an author doesn’t want his or her work published after his or her death, must families and publishers comply — even if they believe the work is valuable? “You could say that on the one hand, an author should enjoy a kind of sovereignty over his or her unpublished material…,” says Paul Saint-Amour, a professor of humanities at the University of Pennsylvania. But what about the possible loss to world culture? Franz Kafka, for example, told his friend Max Brod he wanted his unpublished works burned after his death. If Brod had done so, Kafka’s masterpieces The Trial and The Castle would have been destroyed. Was Brod right not to do so? Sometimes an author’s desires are difficult to recognize. The family of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo author Stieg Larsson used another writer to complete one of his unfinished novels. But Larsson’s partner, Eva Gabrielsson, said Larsson would never have wanted that. To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee was alive but older when her second work, Go Set a Watchman, was released in 2015. Questions were raised as to whether this was really Lee’s wish. (The Alabama Securities Commission stated that it was.) Sometimes a good compromise can be waiting for a period of time before publication. Professor Saint-Amour points to De Profundis, Oscar Wilde’s 1897 letter to a male lover. The full text appeared in 1962 — long after the letter’s recipient and his family had died. Saint-Amour says, “I think that those surface solutions can be elegant in that they recognize the long-term cultural interest in a work while also recognizing that certain kinds of expressive works can be sensitive for the living.” 12. What does the underlined word “comply” in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Attempt. B. Ignore. C. Deny. D. Obey 13. What does the author want to show by using the example of Franz Kafka? A. It’s hard to say if it’s right to go against the author B. Going against the author doesn’t do any good C. The author’s wishes should be respected. D. Not all friends can be trusted. 14. How might Stieg Larsson feel about his family’s behavior according to Eva Gabrielsson? A. Unconcerned. B. Dissatisfied. C. Grateful. D. Proud. 15. What would be a possible solution according to the last paragraph? A. Having the works judged before publication. B. Publishing the works after the author dies C. Talking the author into publication. D. Putting off publishing the works 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍作家常设法处理不愿公开的遗作,是否遵从其意愿引发争议,诸多事例难定对错,延后出版成兼顾文化与人情的折中方案。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句子“If an author doesn’t want his or her work published after his or her death, must families and publishers comply(如果一位作者在去世后不希望自己的作品出版,那么其家属和出版商是否必须comply)”可知,作者死后不愿作品出版,家人出版商是否必须遵从其意愿,故划线词意思是“服从”。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But what about the possible loss to world culture? Franz Kafka, for example, told his friend Max Brod he wanted his unpublished works burned after his death. If Brod had done so, Kafka’s masterpieces The Trial and The Castle would have been destroyed. Was Brod right not to do so?(但这样一来,世界文化可能会遭受怎样的损失呢?比如,弗兰兹·卡夫卡曾对他的朋友马克斯·布罗德说,他希望自己未出版的作品在去世后被销毁。如果布罗德照做了,卡夫卡的代表作《审判》和《城堡》就会被毁掉。那么布罗德当初不这么做是不是做得对呢?)”可知,作者通过举弗兰兹·卡夫卡的例子想要表达很难说是否应该违背作者的观点。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“ The family of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo author Stieg Larsson used another writer to complete one of his unfinished novels. But Larsson’s partner, Eva Gabrielsson, said Larsson would never have wanted that. To Kill a Mockingbird author Harper Lee was alive but older when her second work, Go Set a Watchman, was released in 2015. Questions were raised as to whether this was really Lee’s wish. (The Alabama Securities Commission stated that it was.)(《龙纹身的女孩》的作者斯蒂格·拉森的家人曾让另一位作家来完成他未完成的一部小说。但拉森的伴侣埃娃·加布里埃尔松表示,拉森绝不会希望出现这种情况。)”可知,根据埃娃·加布里埃尔松的说法,斯蒂格·拉森对他家人的行为感到不满意。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Sometimes a good compromise can be waiting for a period of time before publication. Professor Saint-Amour points to De Profundis, Oscar Wilde’s 1897 letter to a male lover. The full text appeared in 1962 — long after the letter’s recipient and his family had died. Saint-Amour says, “I think that those surface solutions can be elegant in that they recognize the long-term cultural interest in a work while also recognizing that certain kinds of expressive works can be sensitive for the living.”(有时,一个不错的折衷方案是先暂不发表,而是等待一段时间再公布。圣阿莫尔教授提到了奥斯卡·王尔德 1897 年写给一位男性恋人的信——《来自深处的信》。该信全文直到 1962 年才发表——此时信件的收件人及其家人早已离世。圣阿莫尔说:“我认为这些表面的解决方案之所以优雅,是因为它们既认识到作品在长期文化层面的吸引力,同时也认识到某些类型的表达性作品可能会对在世之人产生敏感影响。”)”可知,可能的解决办法是推迟出版这些作品。 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Relationships between teenagers and parents can sometimes become difficult.

His deskmate, Anna, often encouraged him, but Tom would just shake his head. Last month, the school announced an “Art Festival”. Tom secretly spent two weeks painting their school campus — the old library, the ginkgo tree, and students on the path. He was proud of it, but when the deadline came, he couldn’t hand it in. He rolled up the canvas and put it in his locker. One day at lunch, Anna saw Tom staring at his locker. He opened it and showed her the painting. Anna said, “This is amazing! You have to submit it.” Tom closed the locker. “No, I’m not good enough.” The next day, Anna told their art teacher, Mr. Zhang. Mr. Zhang asked Tom to stay after class. Tom brought the painting to the teacher’s office. Mr. Zhang looked at it and smiled. “This is excellent. You must enter it.” Encouraged, Tom submitted his painting. A week later, it won first prize. The headmaster asked him to come on stage and say a few words. Shocked, Tom slowly walked onto the stage. Not everyone was happy, though. Jack, a classmate who also loved painting, had told his friends the day before: “The winner is probably someone the teachers like, not someone truly talented.” 注意: 续写词数应为150左右; 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Tom stood on the stage, holding the certificate, his heart racing. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: However, the praise also brought unexpected problems. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: Tom stood on the stage, holding the certificate, his heart racing. He looked at the audience, then at his painting on the wall. Taking a deep breath, he said, “I almost didn’t submit this. I was too afraid. But my deskmate, Anna, believed in me, and Mr. Zhang encouraged me. Thank you.” The audience applauded warmly. For the first time, Tom felt proud of himself. As he stepped down many students came to congratulate him. But he also noticed Jack standing in the corner, his arms crossed, saying nothing. Paragraph 2: However, the praise also brought unexpected problems. The next day, Jack told several classmates that Tom’s painting wasn’t original. “No way a shy guy like him could paint that,” Jack whispered. Soon, some students began to doubt Tom. Tom overheard them and felt his heart sink again. At lunch, Anna found him sitting alone. “Don’t listen to them,” she said. “Mr. Zhang knows the truth.” Tom nodded and decided to keep painting, not for prizes, but to prove to himself that he was a real artist. When the school art club opened applications, Tom signed up — something he would never have done before. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物成长为线索展开,讲述了内向害羞的高中生Tom热爱绘画却不敢展示作品,在同桌Anna和美术张老师的鼓励下,鼓起勇气投稿校园艺术节画作并荣获一等奖;获奖后收获掌声的同时,也遭到同班绘画爱好者Jack的质疑与流言,最终Tom坚守本心,坚持绘画,突破自我,勇敢成长。 【详解】1. 段落续写: ①由第一段首句内容可知,第一段可描写Tom上台紧张发言、感谢Anna和张老师、赢得全场掌声,同时留意到Jack冷漠不满的神情。 ②由第二段首句内容可知,第二段可描写Jack私下散布谣言、引发同学质疑,Tom陷入低落,在Anna安慰下重拾信心,坚持绘画并勇敢报名学校美术社团,完成自我突破。 2. 续写线索:上台——收获掌声——流言四起 ——遭受质疑——情绪低落——好友安慰——坚守热爱——成长蜕变 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①深呼吸:take a deep breath/breathe deeply ②注意:notice/pay attention to 情绪类 ①对……感到骄傲:feel proud of/take pride in ②害怕的:afraid/frightened 【点睛】【高分句型 1】The next day, Jack told several classmates that Tom’s painting wasn’t original.
