C 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了英国全国诗歌大赛的创办历史、赛事影响力、参赛须知、截止时间、奖项设置、往届获奖情况以及本届评委等相关赛事信息。 【21题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Established in 1978, the National Poetry Competition is one of the longest running and widely respected poetry competitions in Britain.(英国全国诗歌大赛始于1978年，是英国历史最悠久、广受推崇的诗歌赛事之一。)”及全篇内容可知，文章目的是介绍一项赛事。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段 “Last year’s judges have very kindly provided us with some very useful tips towards making a successful entry.(去年的评委贴心地为我们提供了一些有助于成功参赛的实用建议。)”可知，去年的评委将会在参赛前给参赛者提供建议。 【23题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文Prizes部分“The winning poems will be published in leading poetry magazine Poetry Review and on the Poetry Society’s website.(获奖诗作将刊登在知名诗歌杂志《诗歌评论》以及诗歌协会官网上。)”可知，所有获奖诗歌都将被刊登在《诗歌评论》杂志上。 B When Jessika Kattah was put in a wheelchair, she knew she wouldn’t be able to walk again. But she could still fly. Kattah and other disabled people have found a home once a month at iFly, an indoor skydiving center in Davie, US. Every second Thursday of the month, iFly hosts All Abilities Night, at which individuals with physical challenges can safely try the free-fall simulation in a giant wind tunnel. And if you’re thinking that floating in a giant wind tunnel is nothing like jumping out of an airplane, Kattah is happy to tell you that you’re wrong. “You definitely get that feeling of flying,” said Kattah, who did skydiving twice. “But the fact that I’m able to get out of my chair makes it so great. You forget about your disability； you’re just like everybody else.” The experience is safe and almost anyone can participate. Few people come out without a big smile on their face, and there will be applause from the people sitting in the observation area. Chuck Petscher, who is blind, had never been the type of person to try anything risky. But recently he decided to give indoor skydiving a shot. “I’ll do this, but I’m not jumping out of an airplane,” he joked. “When you’re disabled, you usually have to do things in a different way from everybody else,” he said. “Here, you’re doing what everybody else is doing. That’s what turned me on to it.” This is also why Kattah has started sharing her experiences on a blog. She wants to send a message to people like her that even though they may feel restricted by their disability, they can always do something they never thought they’d be able to do. “If you want to do something, just do it. Don’t let fear guide you. In the end, you’re going to be so happy you did it,” she says. 24. What’s special about All Abilities Night? A. One can travel on an airplane. B. One can jump out of an airplane. C. It takes place four times a month. D. It offers special service for the disabled. 25. After experiencing skydiving, most people will 　　　. A. feel regretful B. feel frightened C. get a sense of achievement D. get a sense of responsibility 26. Why did Chuck Petscher try indoor skydiving? A. He wanted to be appreciated. B. He liked showing off in public. C. He could be treated as equals. D. He was interested in adventures. 27. Why does Kattah share her experience on her blog? A. To share her joy and excitement. B. To promote the skydiving center. C. To offer some suggestions for the disabled. D. To encourage others to challenge themselves. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了美国一家室内跳伞中心为残障人士举办专属体验之夜，讲述了残障人士参与室内模拟跳伞的亲身感受，并传递出鼓励残障人士勇敢挑战自我、突破局限的积极精神。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第三段“Every second Thursday of the month, iFly hosts All Abilities Night, at which individuals with physical challenges can safely try the free-fall simulation in a giant wind tunnel.(每月第二个周四，iFly 都会举办全能之夜，身体有障碍的人士可以在巨型风洞中安全体验自由落体模拟。)”可知，全能之夜的特别之处在于它为残障人士提供专属服务。 【25题详解】 推理判断题。根据原文第六段“Few people come out without a big smile on their face, and there will be applause from the people sitting in the observation area.(几乎没有人体验完不面带笑容，观赛区的人们还会为之鼓掌。)”可知，大多数人体验完室内跳伞后，会产生成就感。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第八段Chuck Petscher说的话“Here, you’re doing what everybody else is doing. That’s what turned me on to it.(在这里，你可以和其他人做一样的事，这正是吸引我的地方。)” 可知，Chuck Petscher尝试室内跳伞是因为在这里自己能被平等对待。 【27题详解】 细节理解题。根据原文第九段“This is also why Kattah has started sharing her experiences on a blog. She wants to send a message to people like her that even though they may feel restricted by their disability, they can always do something they never thought they’d be able to do.(这也是Kattah开始在博客上分享自身经历的原因。她想告诉和自己有相似遭遇的人：尽管身体残疾会让他们感觉处处受限，但他们永远可以去尝试那些自己原本以为做不到的事情。)”可知，Kattah在博客分享经历是为了鼓励其他残障人士挑战自我。 C Even though we may believe that it’s important to say thank you, sometimes expressing gratitude is easier said than done. We might find ourselves getting hung up on the best way to deliver the message. However, it’s possible that we might be making our thanks more complex. In a paper, researchers compared the effects of expressing thanks in person, over a video call, and over text. And, while people generally expect an in-person thank you to be the most effective, what happened in reality was quite different: Sending a thank-you over text was almost as effective as that. Additionally, texting may be especially well-suited for situations where we feel awkward or embarrassed about expressing our appreciation. In the study, 219 college students participated in a gratitude activity in which they wrote about three things they were grateful for over a two- week period. After writing, the students were asked to actually thank the persons involved. Some connected with the gratitude recipients (接受者) in person, others via video call, and others via text. At the beginning and end of the two weeks，participants completed surveys measuring their feelings of well-being, connections with others, loneliness and happiness. The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude gained increased happiness, with only a few differences for the different methods of gratitude expression. Overall, video calls were just as beneficial as meeting in person. Texting was slightly less effective than video calling- it didn’t make people feel more connected and happier, while video calling did. However, participants who sent their thanks over text still experienced benefits: Texting improved their well- being and reduced their loneliness. Overall, however, the message is that we shouldn’t worry about finding just the “best” way to express our gratitude. In fact, you re better off sending a quick thank you shortly after you receive the kindness than waiting for an occasion to schedule an in-person visit. Don’t put it off just for finding the best way—many times our gratitude goes unsaid because we spend too much time on the details. 28. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Making a video call. B. Sending a text message. C. Expressing thanks in person. D. Writing a thank-you letter. 29. Why did the researchers ask the students to finish surveys? A. To find the effect of expressing thanks on them. B. To measure their physical health. C. To collect a lot more ways to express thanks. D. To know their views on gratitude. 30. What did the research suggest? A. In-person gratitude was less likely to be accepted. B. Expressing gratitude could benefit mental health. C. Ways of gratitude expression should be improved. D. Texting made the gratitude recipients much happier. 31. What are we advised to do to express thanks? A. Search for the best way. B. Wait for an in-person visit. C. Express gratitude in time. D. Make careful preparations. 【答案】28. C 29. A 30. B 31. C 【解析】 【分析】这是一篇说明文。研究人员发现，表达感激之情的人获得了更高的幸福感，有利于身心健康，并建议，表达感激要及时。 【28题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句“Additionally, texting may be especially well-suited for situations where we feel awkward or embarrassed about expressing our appreciation(此外，发短信可能特别适合于我们在表达感激之情时感到难堪或尴尬的情况)”可推测划线词所在句子的句意为“而且，尽管人们普遍认为当面致谢最有效，但实际情况却大不相同：通过短信发送感谢几乎与此一样有效”，其中划线词“that”指的是“当面致谢”。因此，第2段中带下划线的“that”是C项“Expressing thanks in person.(当面致谢)”符合题意。故选C项。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“At the beginning and end of the two weeks，participants completed surveys measuring their feelings of well-being, connections with others, loneliness and happiness. (在这两周的开始和结束时，参与者完成了调查，测量他们的幸福感、与他人的联系、孤独感和幸福感)”及第四段提到的研究结果可推断，研究者要求学生完成调查问卷，是为了找出表达感谢对他们产生的影响。因此，研究人员要求学生完成调查的原因是A项“To find the effect of expressing thanks on them. (找出表达感谢对他们的影响)”符合题意。故选A项。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段的内容，尤其是“The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude gained increased happiness (研究人员发现，表达感激之情的人获得了更高的幸福感)”及“However, participants who sent their thanks over text still experienced benefits: Texting improved their well- being and reduced their loneliness.(但是，通过短信发送感谢的参与者仍然体验到了好处：短信改善了他们的幸福感，减少了他们的孤独感。)”可知，表达感谢减少了他们的孤独感，获得了更高的幸福感，有益于心理健康。因此，研究表明了B项“To measure their physical health. (表达感激之情有利于心理健康)”符合题意。故选B项。 【31题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“In fact, you re better off sending a quick thank you shortly after you receive the kindness than waiting for an occasion to schedule an in-person visit(事实上，你最好在收到好意后立即向你表示感谢，而不是等待一个机会安排一次亲自拜访)”可知，本文建议我们，应该及时表达感谢。因此，我们被建议 C项“Express gratitude in time. (及时表达感激之情)”符合题意。故选C项。 D Many retirees spend time playing games like crossword puzzles, and social games like chess. These games keep people thinking and give their brains a good workout. But can they really help improve memory? The idea of using games that are specifically designed to brain training is very complicated, but research published in The Cambridge University Press has found that brain games certainly make people think and use acquired skills. Brain games sharpen certain thinking skills like short-term memory decision making, planning skills, and reaction time according to Dr. Julie Brody-Magid, clinical director of the Memory Disorders Assessment Clinic at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital. Many of these skills decrease as people age,especially after retirement, “Learning to use your brain in response to other forms of stimulation can help strengthen valuable mental skills, which older people continue to need and rely on every day,” Brody-Magid said. The best way to build up cognitive (认知的) reserve is to stay physically active, especially when you age, by taking care of your health by eating right and managing chronic diseases like high blood pressure, and diabetes. All of these go hand-in-hand with playing brain games.“In this way, participating in brain games actually can help with cognition, but it’s a team effort,” said Brody-Magid. “You can’t do it by doing crossword puzzles alone.” So, if you want to mix it up and combine different types of brain boosting games, here’s a selection from Very Well Mind. Sudoku, a number placement game, relies on short-term memory and concentration. Crossword puzzles are the classic brain game that revolves around long-term memory and knowledge. You can also find them in newspapers and books. If you prefer online games, you can check out Braingle, a free site that has over 15,000 puzzles, riddles, and more. You can even create your own puzzles to get your creative juices flowing too. So, play some brain games to exercise your brain cells and harvest all of the benefits. 32. What is the purpose of the games in paragraph 2? A. To train brain. B. To improve creativity. C. To work out physically. D. To get relaxed. 33. How can older people acquire strong mental power according to Brody-Magid? A. By only staying physically active. B. By exercising their brain frequently. C. By participating in more team work. D. By stimulating their cognitive ability. 34. What does the author suggest doing to improve your creative ability? A. Relying on Sudoku. B. Doing crossword puzzles. C. Checking out Braingle. D. Designing puzzles in person. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The elderly should play more games than the young. B. Brain games help people solve complicated problems. C. Playing brain games helps improve your memory. D. Crossword puzzles hold the secret of your creativity. 【答案】32. A 33. B 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了玩脑力游戏可以帮助老年人提高记忆力。 【32题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The idea of using games that are specifically designed to brain training is very complicated, but research published in The Cambridge University Press has found that brain games certainly make people think and use acquired skills.(使用专门用于大脑训练的游戏的想法非常复杂，但发表在剑桥大学出版社的研究发现，益智游戏确实能让人们思考和使用获得的技能。)”可知，设计这些游戏是为了训练大脑。故选A。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Learning to use your brain in response to other forms of stimulation can help strengthen valuable mental skills, which older people continue to need and rely on every day(学会使用你的大脑对其他形式的刺激做出反应，可以帮助加强有价值的心理技能，这是老年人每天都需要和依赖的)”可知，老年人可以通过频繁锻炼大脑来获得强化的心智技能。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“You can even create your own puzzles to get your creative juices flowing too.(你甚至可以创造自己的谜题来激发你的创造力。)”可知，作者建议通过自己设计谜题提高创造力。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段的“So, play some brain games to exercise your brain cells and harvest all of the benefits.(所以，玩一些益智游戏来锻炼你的脑细胞，收获所有的好处。)”可知，文章介绍了玩脑力游戏可以帮助老年人提高记忆力，因此C项“Playing brain games helps improve your memory.(玩益智游戏有助于提高记忆力。)”是文章的主旨，故选C。 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。 Space exploration has made remarkable progress in 2024.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?“ I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. It was a picture of the pumpkin we had carved together. Underneath, Brian had written, “My first real win with my brother. Even if we didn’t get first, it was a victory because we worked as a team.” Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me. I remembered how I had selfishly taken all the money and lied to him. I realized how much I had let him down. I turned to Brian, ready to confess everything. Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?” I was shocked. Brian just smiled gently and said, “I always knew. But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time. And I was proud of our teamwork, not the prize. I hoped one day you’d understand the real meaning of winning together.” His words made me feel even more ashamed. I apologized sincerely, vowing to make it up to him. From then on, I truly understood my role as his guardian angel and the importance of true brotherhood. 【解析】 【导语】本文以兄弟情谊为线索展开，讲述了作者一直被要求照顾体弱的哥哥布莱恩，在学校南瓜雕刻比赛中，作者因手指笨拙求助布莱恩，两人约定平分奖金，最终获得二等奖仅50美元，作者为买心仪的游戏，独自拿走奖金并向布莱恩撒谎。多年后，布莱恩收拾大学行李时，作者在他的相册里发现当年南瓜的照片，才得知布莱恩早已知道真相，从而领悟到兄弟情谊的真谛的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“作者正欣赏着照片，突然一张照片吸引了他的目光。”可知，第一段可描写作者看到当年两人一起雕刻的南瓜照片，以及布莱恩写下的文字，内心充满愧疚，决定向布莱恩坦白当年的谎言。 ②由第二段首句内容““你竟然早就知道，却什么也没说？”作者震惊不已。”可知，第二段可描写布莱恩温柔解释自己早已知晓真相，在乎的是兄弟间的协作而非奖金，作者真诚道歉，领悟到兄弟情谊的重要性。 2.续写线索：翻看相册——发现照片——内心愧疚——决定坦白——得知真相——真诚道歉——领悟真谛 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①席卷：wash over/sweep over ②坦白：confess/admit ③发誓：vow/promise 情绪类 ①愧疚：guilt/ashamed ②对……感到自豪：be proud of/ take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] Seeing those words, a wave of guilt washed over me.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] But I also knew that you needed that game more than the money at that time.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年度下学期湖大附中高二期中质量检测 英语试卷 试卷满分：150分 考试时间：120分钟 第一部分 听力(共两节, 满分30分) 做题时, 先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后, 你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节(共5小题；每小题1.5分, 满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题, 从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后, 你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What problem does the woman have?

Kattah and other disabled people have found a home once a month at iFly, an indoor skydiving center in Davie, US. Every second Thursday of the month, iFly hosts All Abilities Night, at which individuals with physical challenges can safely try the free-fall simulation in a giant wind tunnel. And if you’re thinking that floating in a giant wind tunnel is nothing like jumping out of an airplane, Kattah is happy to tell you that you’re wrong. “You definitely get that feeling of flying,” said Kattah, who did skydiving twice. “But the fact that I’m able to get out of my chair makes it so great. You forget about your disability； you’re just like everybody else.” The experience is safe and almost anyone can participate. Few people come out without a big smile on their face, and there will be applause from the people sitting in the observation area. Chuck Petscher, who is blind, had never been the type of person to try anything risky. But recently he decided to give indoor skydiving a shot. “I’ll do this, but I’m not jumping out of an airplane,” he joked. “When you’re disabled, you usually have to do things in a different way from everybody else,” he said. “Here, you’re doing what everybody else is doing. That’s what turned me on to it.” This is also why Kattah has started sharing her experiences on a blog. She wants to send a message to people like her that even though they may feel restricted by their disability, they can always do something they never thought they’d be able to do. “If you want to do something, just do it. Don’t let fear guide you. In the end, you’re going to be so happy you did it,” she says. 24. What’s special about All Abilities Night? A. One can travel on an airplane. B. One can jump out of an airplane. C. It takes place four times a month. D. It offers special service for the disabled. 25. After experiencing skydiving, most people will 　　　. A. feel regretful B. feel frightened C. get a sense of achievement D. get a sense of responsibility 26. Why did Chuck Petscher try indoor skydiving? A. He wanted to be appreciated. B. He liked showing off in public. C. He could be treated as equals. D. He was interested in adventures. 27. Why does Kattah share her experience on her blog? A. To share her joy and excitement. B. To promote the skydiving center. C. To offer some suggestions for the disabled. D. To encourage others to challenge themselves. C Even though we may believe that it’s important to say thank you, sometimes expressing gratitude is easier said than done. We might find ourselves getting hung up on the best way to deliver the message. However, it’s possible that we might be making our thanks more complex. In a paper, researchers compared the effects of expressing thanks in person, over a video call, and over text. And, while people generally expect an in-person thank you to be the most effective, what happened in reality was quite different: Sending a thank-you over text was almost as effective as that. Additionally, texting may be especially well-suited for situations where we feel awkward or embarrassed about expressing our appreciation. In the study, 219 college students participated in a gratitude activity in which they wrote about three things they were grateful for over a two- week period. After writing, the students were asked to actually thank the persons involved. Some connected with the gratitude recipients (接受者) in person, others via video call, and others via text. At the beginning and end of the two weeks，participants completed surveys measuring their feelings of well-being, connections with others, loneliness and happiness. The researchers found that people who expressed gratitude gained increased happiness, with only a few differences for the different methods of gratitude expression. Overall, video calls were just as beneficial as meeting in person. Texting was slightly less effective than video calling- it didn’t make people feel more connected and happier, while video calling did. However, participants who sent their thanks over text still experienced benefits: Texting improved their well- being and reduced their loneliness. Overall, however, the message is that we shouldn’t worry about finding just the “best” way to express our gratitude. In fact, you re better off sending a quick thank you shortly after you receive the kindness than waiting for an occasion to schedule an in-person visit. Don’t put it off just for finding the best way—many times our gratitude goes unsaid because we spend too much time on the details. 28. What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. Making a video call. B. Sending a text message. C. Expressing thanks in person. D. Writing a thank-you letter. 29. Why did the researchers ask the students to finish surveys? A. To find the effect of expressing thanks on them. B. To measure their physical health. C. To collect a lot more ways to express thanks. D. To know their views on gratitude. 30. What did the research suggest? A. In-person gratitude was less likely to be accepted. B. Expressing gratitude could benefit mental health. C. Ways of gratitude expression should be improved. D. Texting made the gratitude recipients much happier. 31. What are we advised to do to express thanks? A. Search for the best way. B. Wait for an in-person visit. C. Express gratitude in time. D. Make careful preparations. D Many retirees spend time playing games like crossword puzzles, and social games like chess. These games keep people thinking and give their brains a good workout. But can they really help improve memory? The idea of using games that are specifically designed to brain training is very complicated, but research published in The Cambridge University Press has found that brain games certainly make people think and use acquired skills. Brain games sharpen certain thinking skills like short-term memory decision making, planning skills, and reaction time according to Dr. Julie Brody-Magid, clinical director of the Memory Disorders Assessment Clinic at Harvard-affiliated McLean Hospital. Many of these skills decrease as people age,especially after retirement, “Learning to use your brain in response to other forms of stimulation can help strengthen valuable mental skills, which older people continue to need and rely on every day,” Brody-Magid said. The best way to build up cognitive (认知的) reserve is to stay physically active, especially when you age, by taking care of your health by eating right and managing chronic diseases like high blood pressure, and diabetes. All of these go hand-in-hand with playing brain games.“In this way, participating in brain games actually can help with cognition, but it’s a team effort,” said Brody-Magid. “You can’t do it by doing crossword puzzles alone.” So, if you want to mix it up and combine different types of brain boosting games, here’s a selection from Very Well Mind. Sudoku, a number placement game, relies on short-term memory and concentration. Crossword puzzles are the classic brain game that revolves around long-term memory and knowledge. You can also find them in newspapers and books. If you prefer online games, you can check out Braingle, a free site that has over 15,000 puzzles, riddles, and more. You can even create your own puzzles to get your creative juices flowing too. So, play some brain games to exercise your brain cells and harvest all of the benefits. 32. What is the purpose of the games in paragraph 2? A. To train brain. B. To improve creativity. C. To work out physically. D. To get relaxed. 33. How can older people acquire strong mental power according to Brody-Magid? A. By only staying physically active. B. By exercising their brain frequently. C. By participating in more team work. D. By stimulating their cognitive ability. 34. What does the author suggest doing to improve your creative ability? A. Relying on Sudoku. B. Doing crossword puzzles. C. Checking out Braingle. D. Designing puzzles in person. 35. What is the text mainly about? A. The elderly should play more games than the young. B. Brain games help people solve complicated problems. C. Playing brain games helps improve your memory. D. Crossword puzzles hold the secret of your creativity. 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。 Space exploration has made remarkable progress in 2024.

I’d often tie his shoes or prepare another glass of water for him. My mom saw my larger size and strong body as a sign that I was to be a kind of guardian angel (守护天使) for Brian. However, that was not the case. One day our school sponsored a pumpkin-carving contest. First prize was $100, and I knew just how I would spend it. There was a brand-new game I was dying to own. So I decided the first place bonus definitely had to land in my pocket. When I had to carve the perfect pumpkin I’d picked out, it dawned on me that with my big clumsy fingers I’d surely screw it up (搞砸). I thought of Brian’s smaller, delicate hands and knew he was the man for the job. I immediately begged Brian. Unexpectedly, he asked for a cut. That was fifty-fifty. Quickly doing the math in my head, I figured out even if I split (分摊) the first prize, I’d still have enough cash for the game. So I gave in to Brian’s demands. With skillful hands Brian carved the perfect face, and now we had the best pumpkin ever. Then the unexpected happened: We came in second. Unfortunately, second prize was only $50, and I needed every penny of that to buy the game. The day of the awards ceremony, the principal handed over the money to me because Brian was home, sick with cold. If he really wanted to win, he would have been here today, I thought to myself, justifying stealing the cash from under poor Brian’s runny nose. With hardly a thought, I ran to the store and bought my dream game. That night when Brian asked if we had won, I denied, afraid to look into his eyes. The whole thing was never mentioned again until the day when Brian was packing for college. I played my usual role in helping him pack when I came across an old album filled with photos he had taken as the school photographer. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: I was enjoying the photos when one caught my eye. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: “You actually knew and didn’t say anything?“ I was shocked. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
