Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods.
This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private.
I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life.
However, when did the front porch begin to disappear? When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors? It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected.
When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills.
You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch.
4. What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories?
A. A family-only reunion spot. B. A quiet corner for reading stories.
C. A lively center of social activities. D. An occasion-specific party place.
5. Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3?
A. To recall previous porch-events. B. To show porch activities as daily life.
C. To highlight the porch’s decline. D. To stress the close family relationship.
6. What led to the disappearance of front porches?
A. A link to weaker community ties. B. A reflection of improved lifestyles.
C. A result of limited housing space. D. A shift toward indoor entertainment.
7. What message does the passage convey?
A. The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions.
B. The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties.
C. The insignificance of porches in modern community building.
D. The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds.
C
The world’s diverse forests are facing increasing threats, making effective monitoring crucial for conservation. While traditional methods like camera traps and GPS tags are useful, low-cost, solar-powered microphones have proven strikingly effective in revealing what’s living in some of the planet’s most densely inhabited and biodiverse environments.
Rainforest Connection (RFC), a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Topher White, pioneered this bioacoustic monitoring for conservation. RFC initially repurposed old phones into monitoring devices, but later developed a standardized unit called the Guardian. These Guardians have since been deployed in over 600 locations worldwide, acting as constant “ears” in the wilderness.
Guardians are designed to capture a broad soundscape of the rainforest. “Placed high in treetops, these solar-powered devices can operate for years, continuously recording sounds and transmitting them to the cloud, where we are then able to analyze them for all sorts of things,” says White. Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land.
Beyond detecting obvious threats, RFC is exploring advanced data analysis. White explains that the soundscape itself can act as a detector. In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. For example, tracking animal calls can reveal when animals suddenly go silent, potentially indicating the presence of poachers. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment.
This innovative bioacoustic monitoring provides invaluable “eyes and ears” in remote forests, offering a powerful tool for wildlife protection and anti-poaching efforts. By understanding and reacting to the subtle sounds of nature, this technology offers a promising pathway for conservation. Furthermore, RFC also provides an app allowing the public to listen to live streams from the Ecuadorian rainforest, fostering greater awareness and connection to these vital ecosystems globally.
8. What can we know about RFC?
A. It removed potential threats. B. It prioritized traditional methods.
C. It recycled old electronic products. D. It initiated sound monitoring.
9. How do Guardians mainly function in forest protection?
A. By analyzing sounds of wildlife. B. By identifying animal species.
C. By transmitting sounds to locals. D. By sending instant warnings.
10. What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Popularized. B. Evaluated. C. Resisted. D. Marketed.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. RFC: A Pioneer in Forest Conservation
B. Public Apps: Platforms for Rainforest Protection
C. Listening to Nature: Guardians Protecting Forests
D. Monitoring Sounds: An Approach to Protecting Trees
D
Imagine a night sky where satellites, equipped with huge mirrors reflecting sunlight, shine like artificial moons. Reflect Orbital, a startup in Los Angeles, is awaiting regulatory approval to make that dream a reality, with plans to sell the light to illuminate areas on Earth at night. These locations could include solar farms, industrial worksites, city streets, defense operations and even public events.
The first test satellite would bear a 60-foot mirror, capable of lighting up a 3-mile-wide circle on Earth. Reflect Orbital plans 1,000 satellites by 2029 and 50,000 by 2035. An hour of light could cost a minimum of $5,000. “The sun powers 99% of life on Earth. But we can’t use it at night. So I’m really excited about the project,” said Ben Nowack, the founder of Reflect Orbital.
Reflect Orbital’s proposal to deliver “a spot of sunlight on-demand” has raised significant public concerns. People worry the reflection could mess up astronomy, air travel, and Earth’s natural day-night cycles — and also that the light could shine beyond where it’s supposed to.
Joanna Isa Saryawongse, a neurologist at the University of Pittsburgh, highlighted implications of Reflect Orbital’s proposal for human health. “Its similarity to daylight saving time is striking: both represent deliberate interventions that throw human biology off the natural light-dark cycle. Even a one-hour shift damages the heart, metabolism, and brain function,” she noted. Stanford professor Jamie Zeitzer who studies daylight saving time also said, “Insects and plants are very sensitive to extra light. Like today’s artificial light, it could also disturb animal migration.”
Reflect Orbital’s website lists main safety measures baked into the design of the technology, emphasizing it can contain and quickly turn off the light, and avoid research observatories or protected habitats. The company also claims the light can’t start fires. “They’re missing a lot of details in the technology,” Nowack said of the company’s critics. “The satellites only light a specific area when a customer asks. They are normally off, not shining all night.”
12. What is the aim of Reflect Orbital?
A. To provide reflected sunlight at night. B. To study the effects of light on ecosystems.
C. To reduce the cost of satellite technology. D. To replace traditional street lighting globally.
13. What is a concern about Reflect Orbital’s project?
A. It may increase energy consumption. B. It may limit the development of tourism.
C. The light may extend beyond target areas. D. The light supply may fall short of demand.
14. Why does Joanna mention daylight saving time?
A. To advocate efficient use of natural light.
B. To illustrate the project’s working principle.
C. To show the significance of human intervention.
D. To stress the project’s impact on biological rhythms.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The satellites usually stay inactive. B. The technology has been proven safe.
C. The company ignores critics’ opinions. D. The project is well-received by customers.
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
I used to love my nonstick pans, marveling at the ease of cleanup, until I learned that the plastic lining may release toxins (毒素) when heated. Thus began my campaign to rid my life of plastics. ____16____ But I still had no clear idea what kinds of plastic were truly dangerous. I wanted to know my enemy.
To be fair, plastics are amazing. Light, waterproof and stretchy, plastics have made modern life safer and cheaper. ____17____ Eighteen minutes after waking up, I admitted defeat. I couldn’t turn on the light. Nor could I brush my teeth. No underwear or socks — if something stretches, it’s thanks to plastic.
____18____ Even the human body itself is part plastic. Curious to know how plastic I am, I got tested. The results showed 2.06 nanograms of PFAS in every milliliter of my blood — an “intermediate” level associated with a potential risk of adverse health effects.
I then consulted Tracey Woodruff of UC San Francisco. People should just do what they can, she said. In the kitchen, opt for glass containers. Elsewhere in the home, replace microfiber towels with cotton ones. Another point Woodruff made stuck in my head. ____19____
So I turned my attention to my kids. Sheets and blankets matter because we breathe so close to the fibers for so many hours. ____20____ What worried me was my children growing up in a world where all the objects around them seem bound to hurt them. Throwing the pans out seemed, for now, like the least I could do. And the most I could do, too.
A. I threw out obvious offenders.
B. We depend heavily on plastics.
C. I wanted to make life safer for my children.
D. I replaced my sons’ with natural alternatives.
E. Children are among those most at risk from plastics.
F. One day, I decided to see how long I could go without using plastic.
G. Plastic is not just everywhere in our homes, but everywhere, period.

The final whistle blew and the basketball game was over. The Hawks won again. Abby shouted, leaping from the bench (长凳) and cheering loudly. Thirteen games, thirteen wins — the best record the team had ever had. But Abby hadn’t made much of a contribution. Her playing time totaled only about ten minutes for the entire season. As she walked toward Coach McKenzie and her teammates, she overheard someone saying under their breath that she was basically a cheerleader in a basketball uniform. Her heart sank and tears filled her eyes.
Coach McKenzie praised the whole team and singled out Kathy for her excellent free throws (罚球). Thinking of the countless hours she had spent practicing shots after school, Abby felt like shouting, “I can shoot well too! — if I could just get in the game!”
That evening, Mom drove Abby home silently. She always knew when it was best to say nothing. After finishing homework, Abby grabbed her basketball and rushed outside to practice. Mom came up behind her. Abby sighed, murmuring that she knew she should be satisfied just to be on the team, and launched a jump shot. “Not this time, Abby,” Mom replied, passing the ball back. “I just want to say that I’m proud of you for hanging in there and I believe, your time will come.”
The last game of the season came, and the gym was packed. The crowd erupted as the second half began. Abby watched closely as the players ran up and down the court. The score stayed close, and the Hawks were one point behind with only ten minutes left. “Come on, Hawks,| Abby breathed.
Suddenly, Kathy, the star player, stole the ball but fell hard and got injured when another player ran into her. She couldn’t continue, so the judge approached the bench and told Coach McKenzie that someone had to take Kathy’s place and shoot the two free throws. Coach scanned her reserves. Her eyes landed on Abby, the girl who always stayed late to practice.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Abby was called up to step in for Kathy.

In the loud cheers, Abby spotted her mother in the crowd.

Oregon forests were the playground of my childhood, and our house there had a wide wraparound porch that started from the front door and finally extended the entire length of the back of the house. That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods.
This was, I think, the beginning of my fascination with the front porch. If a house is a place where we learn to create a home, then a front porch is an in-between space, a borderland that lets us keep some things at arm’s length, while inviting other things close, a place that is at once public and private.
I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life.
However, when did the front porch begin to disappear? When did we retreat inside, each confined to our own spaces, with no care for what was happening outside our front doors? It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected.
When I investigate community care and mutual aid, I am surprised by the types of actions that are suggested for those looking to build stronger communities. An incomplete list: get to know your neighbors, socialize with those who live nearby, share childcare duties, teach one another new skills.
You see, we’ve always known how to do this work. It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch.
4. What was the porch like in the author’s childhood memories?
A. A family-only reunion spot. B. A quiet corner for reading stories.
C. A lively center of social activities. D. An occasion-specific party place.
5. Why does the author mention her grandmother and neighbors in paragraph 3?
A. To recall previous porch-events. B. To show porch activities as daily life.
C. To highlight the porch’s decline. D. To stress the close family relationship.
6. What led to the disappearance of front porches?
A. A link to weaker community ties. B. A reflection of improved lifestyles.
C. A result of limited housing space. D. A shift toward indoor entertainment.
7. What message does the passage convey?
A. The unavoidable decline of face-to-face interactions.
B. The necessity of formal events for neighborhood ties.
C. The insignificance of porches in modern community building.
D. The power of simple daily acts in fostering community bonds.

【导语】文章主要讲的是作者回忆童年时前廊作为邻里社交热闹场所的经历,反思其逐渐消失与社区纽带弱化之间的关联,并呼吁通过像“坐在前廊”这样简单的日常行为来重建社区联系。
【4题详解】
细节理解。根据第一段“That porch — and indeed, almost every porch — was a place to gather and party, a place where neighbors stood as they dropped off dishes, a place where we sat in the soft sun of a spring afternoon and told stories and whispered rumors and made up tales of what lived deeper in the woods. (那个门廊——实际上,几乎每一个门廊都是人们聚会和狂欢的场所,是邻居们把菜肴送来时会站在门廊边闲聊,也是我们在春日午后柔和的阳光下坐在一起讲故事、窃窃私语谈论传闻以及编造关于森林深处生物的故事的地方。)”可知,前廊是人们聚集、聚会、邻里驻足聊天、讲故事、说闲话的地方,呈现出热闹活跃的社交场景。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“I remember my grandmother sitting there as she enjoyed the cooling air of a summer evening and talked to my parents, my aunts, my uncles, and all the cousins old enough for ‘adult’ conversation. As neighbors walked by they would pause, they would chat, they would check in with one another. These were not organized events. They were a part of everyday life. (我记得当时我的祖母就坐在那里,享受着夏日夜晚的凉爽空气,还与我的父母、姑姑、叔叔以及所有年龄足够大、能进行“成人”交流的堂兄弟姐妹们交谈着。当邻居们路过时,他们会停下来,交谈几句,彼此问候一下。这些并非是有组织的活动,而是日常生活的一部分。)”可知,作者在第三段中提及她的祖母和邻居们是为了展现门廊活动是日常生活的一部分。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“It feels like this change has come about gradually, and been accompanied by challenges like loneliness, and a breakdown of our community ties — and I can’t help but think they must be connected. (感觉这种变化是逐渐发生的,并且伴随着诸如孤独感以及我们社区联系的破裂等种种问题——我不禁觉得这些现象之间肯定存在着某种关联。)”可知,作者将前廊的消失与社区纽带弱化视为彼此关联的现象,隐含二者存在因果联系。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“It is nothing new. Nothing radical. Nothing revolutionary — it can be as simple as stepping out of our doors and sitting on our own front porch. (这并非什么新鲜事。也并非什么激进之举。更不是什么革命性的举措——它可能仅仅就是走出家门,坐在自家的门廊上这么简单。)”结合全文对前廊日常社交的怀念,以及社区纽带重建的讨论,可知文章主旨在于传达:像出门坐在前廊这样简单的日常行为,恰恰是培育社区联系的有力方式。

The world’s diverse forests are facing increasing threats, making effective monitoring crucial for conservation. While traditional methods like camera traps and GPS tags are useful, low-cost, solar-powered microphones have proven strikingly effective in revealing what’s living in some of the planet’s most densely inhabited and biodiverse environments.
Rainforest Connection (RFC), a non-profit organization founded in 2014 by Topher White, pioneered this bioacoustic monitoring for conservation. RFC initially repurposed old phones into monitoring devices, but later developed a standardized unit called the Guardian. These Guardians have since been deployed in over 600 locations worldwide, acting as constant “ears” in the wilderness.
Guardians are designed to capture a broad soundscape of the rainforest. “Placed high in treetops, these solar-powered devices can operate for years, continuously recording sounds and transmitting them to the cloud, where we are then able to analyze them for all sorts of things,” says White. Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land.
Beyond detecting obvious threats, RFC is exploring advanced data analysis. White explains that the soundscape itself can act as a detector. In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. For example, tracking animal calls can reveal when animals suddenly go silent, potentially indicating the presence of poachers. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment.
This innovative bioacoustic monitoring provides invaluable “eyes and ears” in remote forests, offering a powerful tool for wildlife protection and anti-poaching efforts. By understanding and reacting to the subtle sounds of nature, this technology offers a promising pathway for conservation. Furthermore, RFC also provides an app allowing the public to listen to live streams from the Ecuadorian rainforest, fostering greater awareness and connection to these vital ecosystems globally.
8. What can we know about RFC?
A. It removed potential threats. B. It prioritized traditional methods.
C. It recycled old electronic products. D. It initiated sound monitoring.
9. How do Guardians mainly function in forest protection?
A. By analyzing sounds of wildlife. B. By identifying animal species.
C. By transmitting sounds to locals. D. By sending instant warnings.
10. What does the underlined phrase “rolled out” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Popularized. B. Evaluated. C. Resisted. D. Marketed.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. RFC: A Pioneer in Forest Conservation
B. Public Apps: Platforms for Rainforest Protection
C. Listening to Nature: Guardians Protecting Forests
D. Monitoring Sounds: An Approach to Protecting Trees
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. C

【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Their primary goal is to pick up immediate threats — chainsaws, logging trucks, and gunshots — and relay real-time alerts to local authorities and communities, enabling swift action to protect the land.(它们的主要目标是捕捉即时威胁——电锯、运材卡车和枪声——并向地方当局和社区传递实时警报,以便迅速采取行动保护土地)”可知,“守护者”在森林保护中的主要作用是发送即时警告。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段“In a test on the island of Sumatra, RFC and a German software firm used machine learning to identify “uncharacteristic sudden changes to the soundscape”, which successfully identified human invaders. This advanced method will soon be rolled out in Thailand, Jamaica and Romania by building a unique model for each environment.(在苏门答腊岛的一项测试中,RFC和一家德国软件公司利用机器学习识别“声景的异常突然变化”,成功识别出人类入侵者。这种先进的方法很快将通过为每个环境建立独特的模型,在泰国、牙买加和罗马尼亚rolled out)”可知,这种先进方法在苏门答腊岛测试成功后,将在其他国家推广使用,由此推测rolled out意为“推广、普及”,与popularized同义。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,第一段引出低成本太阳能麦克风用于森林监测的话题,第二段介绍RFC及其开发的“守护者”监测设备,第三、四段详细说明“守护者”的功能及先进数据分析的应用,最后一段总结这种生物声学监测对森林保护的意义。文章核心围绕“守护者”通过监测声音保护森林展开,C选项“倾听自然:守护森林的‘守护者’”贴合文章主旨,适合作标题。

Imagine a night sky where satellites, equipped with huge mirrors reflecting sunlight, shine like artificial moons. Reflect Orbital, a startup in Los Angeles, is awaiting regulatory approval to make that dream a reality, with plans to sell the light to illuminate areas on Earth at night. These locations could include solar farms, industrial worksites, city streets, defense operations and even public events.
The first test satellite would bear a 60-foot mirror, capable of lighting up a 3-mile-wide circle on Earth. Reflect Orbital plans 1,000 satellites by 2029 and 50,000 by 2035. An hour of light could cost a minimum of $5,000. “The sun powers 99% of life on Earth. But we can’t use it at night. So I’m really excited about the project,” said Ben Nowack, the founder of Reflect Orbital.
Reflect Orbital’s proposal to deliver “a spot of sunlight on-demand” has raised significant public concerns. People worry the reflection could mess up astronomy, air travel, and Earth’s natural day-night cycles — and also that the light could shine beyond where it’s supposed to.
Joanna Isa Saryawongse, a neurologist at the University of Pittsburgh, highlighted implications of Reflect Orbital’s proposal for human health. “Its similarity to daylight saving time is striking: both represent deliberate interventions that throw human biology off the natural light-dark cycle. Even a one-hour shift damages the heart, metabolism, and brain function,” she noted. Stanford professor Jamie Zeitzer who studies daylight saving time also said, “Insects and plants are very sensitive to extra light. Like today’s artificial light, it could also disturb animal migration.”
Reflect Orbital’s website lists main safety measures baked into the design of the technology, emphasizing it can contain and quickly turn off the light, and avoid research observatories or protected habitats. The company also claims the light can’t start fires. “They’re missing a lot of details in the technology,” Nowack said of the company’s critics. “The satellites only light a specific area when a customer asks. They are normally off, not shining all night.”
12. What is the aim of Reflect Orbital?
A. To provide reflected sunlight at night. B. To study the effects of light on ecosystems.
C. To reduce the cost of satellite technology. D. To replace traditional street lighting globally.
13. What is a concern about Reflect Orbital’s project?
A. It may increase energy consumption. B. It may limit the development of tourism.
C. The light may extend beyond target areas. D. The light supply may fall short of demand.
14. Why does Joanna mention daylight saving time?
A. To advocate efficient use of natural light.
B. To illustrate the project’s working principle.
C. To show the significance of human intervention.
D. To stress the project’s impact on biological rhythms.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. The satellites usually stay inactive. B. The technology has been proven safe.
C. The company ignores critics’ opinions. D. The project is well-received by customers.

【导语】本文介绍青海共和塔拉滩光伏产业园的独特模式,园区利用丰富太阳能资源发电,光伏板兼具遮阳防风功能改善生态,同时引入牧民放羊解决植被疯长隐患,实现产业发展、传统牧业与环境保护的协同共赢。
【36题详解】
考查主谓一致与时态。句意:让这一场景别具一格的是头顶成片蔚蓝的光伏板,因为羊群的放牧场地是一座光伏产业园。陈述客观事实,用一般现在时;主语the sheep’s grazing grounds为复数,谓语动词用are。
【37题详解】
考查冠词。句意:塔拉滩光伏产业园占地609平方公里,这片平地太阳能资源丰富,年平均日照时长接近3000小时。固定搭配an average of...意为“平均……”,average以元音音素开头,故填an。
【38题详解】
考查连词。句意:园区内大量的光伏板不仅为偏远省份供电,还为周边土地起到遮阳和防风的作用。固定结构not only...but (also)...意为“不仅……而且……”,符合语境,故填but。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:平均风速降低了一半,该地区的植被覆盖率已达到80%。此处为with复合结构,wind speeds与reduce之间是被动关系,用过去分词reduced作宾语补足语。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:然而,这种植被的生长并非没有问题。根据后文提到的野草疯长的隐患可知,此处表示“并非没有问题”,without意为“没有”,符合语境。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:疯长的草会大幅降低光伏板的效率,并在干燥的冬季引发火灾。修饰动词lower,需用副词形式,dramatic的副词为dramatically。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:羊群为该地区施肥,促成了绿色生态链的形成。固定搭配allow sth. to do sth.意为“允许某物做某事”,此处用不定式to form作宾语补足语。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:此外,牧民可以出售部分羊群,获得可观的经济收益。此处为现在分词作结果状语,herders与secure(获得)之间是主动关系,用securing表示自然而然的结果。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:去年,600只羊被安排负责保护园区内的光伏板。时间状语last year表明用一般过去时;主语600 sheep与task之间是被动关系,故用一般过去时被动语态were tasked。
【45题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这座光伏产业园为产业发展、传统做法和环境保护如何协同推进树立了典范。宾语从句中缺少方式状语,用how引导,表“如何、怎样”。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The final whistle blew and the basketball game was over. The Hawks won again. Abby shouted, leaping from the bench (长凳) and cheering loudly. Thirteen games, thirteen wins — the best record the team had ever had. But Abby hadn’t made much of a contribution. Her playing time totaled only about ten minutes for the entire season. As she walked toward Coach McKenzie and her teammates, she overheard someone saying under their breath that she was basically a cheerleader in a basketball uniform. Her heart sank and tears filled her eyes.
Coach McKenzie praised the whole team and singled out Kathy for her excellent free throws (罚球). Thinking of the countless hours she had spent practicing shots after school, Abby felt like shouting, “I can shoot well too! — if I could just get in the game!”
That evening, Mom drove Abby home silently. She always knew when it was best to say nothing. After finishing homework, Abby grabbed her basketball and rushed outside to practice. Mom came up behind her. Abby sighed, murmuring that she knew she should be satisfied just to be on the team, and launched a jump shot. “Not this time, Abby,” Mom replied, passing the ball back. “I just want to say that I’m proud of you for hanging in there and I believe, your time will come.”
The last game of the season came, and the gym was packed. The crowd erupted as the second half began. Abby watched closely as the players ran up and down the court. The score stayed close, and the Hawks were one point behind with only ten minutes left. “Come on, Hawks,| Abby breathed.
Suddenly, Kathy, the star player, stole the ball but fell hard and got injured when another player ran into her. She couldn’t continue, so the judge approached the bench and told Coach McKenzie that someone had to take Kathy’s place and shoot the two free throws. Coach scanned her reserves. Her eyes landed on Abby, the girl who always stayed late to practice.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
Abby was called up to step in for Kathy.

In the loud cheers, Abby spotted her mother in the crowd.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Abby was called up to step in for Kathy. Her heart thudded in her chest as she jogged onto the court, the crowd’s roar fading into a distant hum. She took a deep breath, recalling countless hours of solitary practice, and stepped up to the free-throw line. With a steady hand, she released the first ball, watching it arc gracefully through the net. The second shot followed suit, and the gym erupted in cheers. Abby had done it, scoring crucial points to put the Hawks ahead!
In the loud cheers, Abby spotted her mother in the crowd. Her mother was standing up, clapping wildly, her eyes shining with pride and love. Abby felt a surge of warmth and gratitude, knowing that her mother had always been her biggest supporter. As the game continued, Abby played with renewed confidence, contributing to the team’s efforts. When the final buzzer sounded, the Hawks had won, and Abby was surrounded by her teammates, who congratulated her on her outstanding performance. She knew that this moment would be a cherished memory.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Hawks篮球队再次获胜,但Abby在整个赛季中上场时间极少,贡献不大。她听到有人议论自己不过是穿着篮球服的啦啦队员,心中难过。教练表扬了全队,特别提到了Kathy的出色罚球,Abby想到自己无数次课后练习却鲜有机会上场,感到沮丧。当晚,妈妈鼓励她坚持下去。在赛季最后一场比赛中,Hawks队落后一分,此时核心球员Kathy受伤无法继续比赛,教练需要找人替补完成两次关键罚球,最终选择了总是刻苦训练的Abby。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“Abby被叫来代替凯西上场了。”可知,第一段可描写Abby在关键时刻被教练叫上场替补受伤的Kathy,并成功完成两次罚球,帮助球队取得领先的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“在热烈的欢呼声中,Abby看到了人群中她的母亲。”可知,第二段可描写Abby受到妈妈的鼓舞后和队友一起赢得胜利的过程。
2.续写线索:紧张准备——罚球得分——受到鼓舞——自信比赛——最终胜利——庆祝铭记
3.词汇激活
行为类
①深呼吸:take a deep breath/breathe deeply
②走上:step up to/walk up to

【高分句型2】When the final buzzer sounded, the Hawks had won, and Abby was surrounded by her teammates, who congratulated her on her outstanding performance. (由when引导的时间状语从句和who引导的非限制性定语从句)
