B When I was young, my father inspired my love for astronomy and space exploration by taking me outside at night to observe the stars. Together, we learned to identify constellations (星座), and I felt drawn to the power of the universe. Now, as a master’s student in Stanford’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics, I am pursuing that early wonder. I chose Stanford because it combines cutting-edge technology with real-world impact. Here, engineering is purposeful — aimed at creating change beyond oneself. To me, space offers a platform for large-scale positive impact. I want to use it not only to advance technology, but to help ordinary people and address major challenges. Examples include using satellites to monitor climate and detect wildfires, or applying microgravity environments to develop new medicines and materials. In my program, I take and assist in courses covering all aspects of the space environment — from guidance systems to spacecraft design. Beyond the classroom, I explore space entrepreneurship as a member of the Threshold Venture Fellow program, which gives students a front-row seat to startup creation. I am passionate about innovation and hope to see more women taking the lead in this field. Aerospace has long been taken over by men, with women facing many one-sided views. Since high school, I have worked to change this through a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) outreach program, teaching scientific concepts to young girls in schools that lack sufficient resources. My father once showed me historical figures like Hypatia, the ancient astronomer and mathematician, proving that women have long been pioneers in science. What I value greatly about Stanford is its interdisciplinary (跨学科) culture. As an engineer, I can take classes in law or ethics, which help me consider space innovation from multiple perspectives. Debating was a favorite hobby of mine growing up, and that skill is particularly useful in a field full of uncharted questions. Since my bike broke early in the term, I’ve been walking everywhere. The campus is beautiful, and walking allows me time to think, plan, and relax. It is a peaceful routine in a busy life — and a gentle reminder to keep moving forward, step by step. 4. What does the author aim to illustrate by mentioning the examples in paragraph 2? A. Stanford’s leadership in space technology. B. The difficulty of solving global challenges. C. The main courses of her major at Stanford. D. The real-world value of space-related work. 5. What does the Threshold Venture Fellow program offer? A. Hands-on experience in startup creation. B. Guidance on spacecraft design. C. Chances to assist in college courses. D. Courses in environmental art. 6. What can we infer about the author? A. She dislikes interdisciplinary courses. B. She wants to empower women in STEM. C. She walks to avoid bike traffic on campus. D. She once worked as a historical astronomer. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Ways to study law or ethics at Stanford. B. The beauty of Stanford’s campus scenery. C. A student’s love for space and her efforts. D. The role of women in space-related fields. C A small, quiet Caribbean island has been transformed into a successful breeding (繁殖) ground for the critically endangered Lesser Antillean iguana (鬣蜥). Once absent from Prickly Pear East, the species now multiplies there, with scientists celebrating the rising population. The Lesser Antillean iguana faced extinction across most of its native range. A major threat comes from the introduced green iguana, which competes for food, is more aggressive (进攻性), and interbreeds with the native species, diluting its genetics. Nearly a decade ago, the native iguanas had disappeared from Prickly Pear East. Determined to save the species, conservationists from the Anguilla National Trust launched a rescue mission. In 2015, they carefully captured the few remaining native iguanas on the main island of Anguilla. After genetic testing confirmed they were purebred, the first ten were transported by boat to Prickly Pear East. With no dogs, cats, traffic, or green iguanas, the small island offered a safe home. The relocation of the iguanas achieved remarkable results. The iguanas adapted and began breeding. The population on the small island has now grown to approximately 300, making it one of five key global sites for the species’ recovery. It is estimated that fewer than 20,000 of these iguanas survive worldwide. To further ensure the health of the new population, scientists sought to increase its genetic diversity. They collaborated with authorities in Dominica, which is home to the region’s largest remaining population of Lesser Antillean iguanas. After health checks, additional iguanas were carefully flown from Dominica to Anguilla and then released on Prickly Pear East. The iguanas, which are bright green when they are young and turn dark gray or black as adults, now breed freely across the island. While Prickly Pear East remains unoccupied by people and welcomes visiting boaters, the endangered iguanas are under strict protection and will never be hunted locally. This project shows how a species can be brought back from the edge of extinction. It proves that when endangered animals are kept safe from non-native species and harmful human activities, they can rebound and grow well. 8. What does the underlined word “diluting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Improving the quality of. B. Protecting the diversity of. C. Weakening the uniqueness of. D. Strengthening the stability of. 9. Why were the first ten iguanas sent to Prickly Pear East? A. To test their genetic purity. B. To provide them a protected habitat. C. To study their breeding habits. D. To capture green iguanas there. 10. Which word best describes the project carried out by the Anguilla National Trust? A. Successful. B. Risky. C. Time-consuming. D. Disappointing. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A Caribbean travel brochure. B. A recipe book of local food. C. A magazine on wildlife biology. D. A textbook of Anguilla history. D As we age, it becomes common to experience stiffness (僵硬) or discomfort during simple daily movements. However, if such problems occur frequently, it may indicate the need to focus on mobility exercises. According to sports medicine specialists, maintaining good mobility is essential for long-term health and can help reduce the risk of various diseases, including heart conditions and depression. Mobility is often confused with flexibility, but the two are distinct concepts. Flexibility refers to how far a muscle can stretch, while mobility combines strength with the ability to move freely through a full range of motion. It involves the coordinated function of muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Without adequate mobility, everyday tasks such as reaching overhead, bending down, or lifting objects can become challenging. From around the age of 30, the body naturally begins to lose collagen (胶原蛋白), leading to weaker muscular support and increased stress on joints. Even active individuals may overlook certain muscle groups, such as those supporting the shoulders and spine. Two early signs may suggest the need for mobility training: first, general joint stiffness or aching without significant exertion; second, sharp pain or swelling after occasional physical activity, such as playing sports. Experts warn against extreme self-tests popular on social media, which can easily cause injury without proper guidance. Instead, simple assessments like standing up from a chair without using hands or balancing on one foot can indicate current mobility levels. To maintain or improve mobility, regular low-impact exercises are recommended. Walking daily is an accessible starting point, especially for those who are less active. Integrating short mobility sessions into existing routines—such as hip lifts, knee pulls, or spinal twists—can gradually enhance movement capacity. Exercises like Tai Chi and yoga are also beneficial as follow-up practices, as they promote strength, balance, and joint mobility. For those seeking a structured workout plan, body-weight exercises like chair squats or wall push-ups can be done at home. As these become easier, resistance bands may be added to build further strength. Consistency is key; improvements in mobility may take several weeks to become noticeable, but regular, intentional practice leads to lasting and meaningful results. In summary, focusing on mobility through safe, regular exercises helps preserve functional independence and supports overall well-being throughout aging. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Tasks challenging for inactive people. B. Diseases caused by poor joint function. C. How to improve muscle stretching ability. D. Differences between mobility and flexibility. 13. Which is a simple mobility assessment? A. Balancing on one foot. B. Lifting heavy objects. C. Trying extreme social media tests. D. Using hands to stand up from a chair. 14. What is a recommended starting exercise for less active people? A. Practicing Tai Chi regularly. B. Walking daily. C. Using resistance bands at home. D. Doing wall push-ups frequently. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To warn against extreme self-tests. B. To compare mobility and flexibility. C. To introduce high-impact exercise types. D. To stress the importance of mobility in aging. 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。 Older people who are particularly at risk of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease could slow their cognitive (认知) decline by taking just 3,000 steps a day. ___16___ However, it could be linked to the impact of regular exercise on inflammation (炎症) or blood flow to the brain. Previous studies that link regular exercise to reduced cognitive decline have mostly relied on people recalling their activity levels but have rarely explored why staying active may have this effect. To address such limitations, Wai-Ying Wendy Yau at Harvard University and her co-workers analysed the physical activity of 296 cognitively healthy people, who wore step-tracking devices for one week to objectively measure their activity levels. ___17___ Most of the participants had their brain imaged to reveal their baseline levels of misfolded proteins called tau (tau蛋白) and beta-amyloid, gathering of which is thought to cause Alzheimer’s. The participants also completed annual cognitive tests that assessed things like their memory and how quickly they processed information. ___18___ They found that, among the participants with above-average levels of misfolded beta-amyloid in their brain at the start, taking between 3,000 and 5,000 steps per day seemed to greatly slow the build-up of misfolded tau, but not beta-amyloid. “ ___19___ This activity level showed 54% slower cognitive decline than inactivity,” says Yau. The researchers didn’t explore exactly how regular exercise may have these effects, but it could be due to physical activity reducing inflammation. ___20___ A. What was the result? B. A simple walk can fight diseases. C. The tests were not easy to complete. D. These people were aged between 50 and 90. E. Exercise may also boost blood flow to the brain. F. Why this step count might have this effect is unclear. G. Walking 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily further reduces tau build-up. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 What started as a peaceful day off for Sarasota County lifeguard Landon Lacy turned into a dramatic life-saving mission.

On our first day, my parents told my brother Leo and me to always be polite and honest to our neighbors. Next door lived Mr. Jenkins, a retired man who mostly kept to himself. His garden was the neatest on the street, filled with colorful flowers, especially roses that he took very good care of. In the middle, on a small stone seat, sat a fine white ceramic (陶瓷的) bird. It looked old and was placed with great care. Last Saturday, while playing soccer with Leo in our backyard, I kicked the ball too hard. It flew over the wooden fence. We heard a sharp crack. Looking through the gaps, we saw the ball next to the stone seat. The white ceramic bird was in pieces. Leo cried, “Oh no! Mr. Jenkins!” Everyone knew Mr. Jenkins was a serious man who valued his quiet space. Just last month, a boy’s toy had landed in his yard, and Mr. Jenkins had returned it with a firm “Please be more careful,” but no smile. Fear rushed through me. “Quick! Inside!” I whispered, pulling Leo away before we were seen. For two days, I avoided the backyard, feeling guilty each time I glanced toward Mr. Jenkins’s house. But yesterday evening, while taking out the trash, I saw him. He was on his knees by the seat, slowly gathering the broken pieces into a small box. He held one piece, a wing, for a long time before placing it inside. His shoulders drooped (下垂), and he looked more sad than angry. My heart sank as I realized how much that little bird must have meant to him. 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。 That night, guilt kept me awake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my savings in hand, I entered the gift shop, determined to make things right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 考生注意： 1.本试卷分选择题和非选择题两部分。满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 2.答题前，考生务必用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔将密封线内项目填写清楚。 3.考生作答时，请将答案答在答题卡上。选择题每小题选出答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑；非选择题请用直径0.5毫米黑色墨水签字笔在答题卡上各题的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域书写的答案无效，在试题卷、草稿纸上作答无效。 4.本卷命题范围：选择性必修第三册。 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.

Debating was a favorite hobby of mine growing up, and that skill is particularly useful in a field full of uncharted questions. Since my bike broke early in the term, I’ve been walking everywhere. The campus is beautiful, and walking allows me time to think, plan, and relax. It is a peaceful routine in a busy life — and a gentle reminder to keep moving forward, step by step. 4. What does the author aim to illustrate by mentioning the examples in paragraph 2? A. Stanford’s leadership in space technology. B. The difficulty of solving global challenges. C. The main courses of her major at Stanford. D. The real-world value of space-related work. 5. What does the Threshold Venture Fellow program offer? A. Hands-on experience in startup creation. B. Guidance on spacecraft design. C. Chances to assist in college courses. D. Courses in environmental art. 6. What can we infer about the author? A. She dislikes interdisciplinary courses. B. She wants to empower women in STEM. C. She walks to avoid bike traffic on campus. D. She once worked as a historical astronomer. 7. What is the text mainly about? A. Ways to study law or ethics at Stanford. B. The beauty of Stanford’s campus scenery. C. A student’s love for space and her efforts. D. The role of women in space-related fields. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7.

Once absent from Prickly Pear East, the species now multiplies there, with scientists celebrating the rising population. The Lesser Antillean iguana faced extinction across most of its native range. A major threat comes from the introduced green iguana, which competes for food, is more aggressive (进攻性), and interbreeds with the native species, diluting its genetics. Nearly a decade ago, the native iguanas had disappeared from Prickly Pear East. Determined to save the species, conservationists from the Anguilla National Trust launched a rescue mission. In 2015, they carefully captured the few remaining native iguanas on the main island of Anguilla. After genetic testing confirmed they were purebred, the first ten were transported by boat to Prickly Pear East. With no dogs, cats, traffic, or green iguanas, the small island offered a safe home. The relocation of the iguanas achieved remarkable results. The iguanas adapted and began breeding. The population on the small island has now grown to approximately 300, making it one of five key global sites for the species’ recovery. It is estimated that fewer than 20,000 of these iguanas survive worldwide. To further ensure the health of the new population, scientists sought to increase its genetic diversity. They collaborated with authorities in Dominica, which is home to the region’s largest remaining population of Lesser Antillean iguanas. After health checks, additional iguanas were carefully flown from Dominica to Anguilla and then released on Prickly Pear East. The iguanas, which are bright green when they are young and turn dark gray or black as adults, now breed freely across the island. While Prickly Pear East remains unoccupied by people and welcomes visiting boaters, the endangered iguanas are under strict protection and will never be hunted locally. This project shows how a species can be brought back from the edge of extinction. It proves that when endangered animals are kept safe from non-native species and harmful human activities, they can rebound and grow well. 8. What does the underlined word “diluting” in paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Improving the quality of. B. Protecting the diversity of. C. Weakening the uniqueness of. D. Strengthening the stability of. 9. Why were the first ten iguanas sent to Prickly Pear East? A. To test their genetic purity. B. To provide them a protected habitat. C. To study their breeding habits. D. To capture green iguanas there. 10. Which word best describes the project carried out by the Anguilla National Trust? A. Successful. B. Risky. C. Time-consuming. D. Disappointing. 11. Where is the text most probably taken from? A. A Caribbean travel brochure. B. A recipe book of local food. C. A magazine on wildlife biology. D. A textbook of Anguilla history. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了安圭拉国家信托基金通过将濒危的小安的列斯鬣蜥迁移至东普里克利皮尔岛并采取保护措施，成功使其种群数量得以恢复的保育项目。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“A major threat comes from the introduced green iguana, which competes for food, is more aggressive(一个主要的威胁来自引入的绿鬣蜥，这种生物会争夺食物，而且更具攻击性。)”以及后文“its genetics. Nearly a decade ago, the native iguanas had disappeared from Prickly Pear East(其基因特性。大约十年前，普里克利尔东地区的本土鬣蜥就已经消失不见了)”可知，一个主要威胁来自引入的绿鬣蜥，它会争夺食物，更具攻击性，并且会与本地物种杂交，从而削弱了本地物种的基因特性。故画线词的意思是“削弱”。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“After genetic testing confirmed they were purebred, the first ten were transported by boat to Prickly Pear East. With no dogs, cats, traffic, or green iguanas, the small island offered a safe home.(经过基因检测确认它们均为纯种鬣蜥后，最初的十只鬣蜥便被用船运到了仙人掌东岛。那里没有狗、猫、车辆，也没有绿色鬣蜥，这个小岛成了它们安全的栖息地)”可知，把鬣蜥运送到Prickly Pear East岛上是为了给它们提供一个受保护的栖息地。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“The relocation of the iguanas achieved remarkable results. The iguanas adapted and began breeding. The population on the small island has now grown to approximately 300, making it one of five key global sites for the species’ recovery.(这些鬣蜥的迁移取得了显著成效。鬣蜥适应了环境并开始繁殖。这个小岛上的鬣蜥数量现已增长至约300只，使其成为该物种全球恢复计划中的五个关键地点之一)”可知，安圭拉国家信托基金开展的项目是成功的。故选A。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“A small, quiet Caribbean island has been transformed into a successful breeding (繁殖) ground for the critically endangered Lesser Antillean iguana (鬣蜥). Once absent from Prickly Pear East, the species now multiplies there, with scientists celebrating the rising population.(一个位于加勒比海的偏小且宁静的岛屿，已成功地成为了极度濒危的“小安的列斯鬣蜥”繁衍的场所。这种鬣蜥曾经在“刺梨东”地区绝迹，如今却在那里大量繁殖，科学家们为此感到欣喜，称其种群数量正在不断增加)”以及文章主要讲述了濒危的小安的列斯鬣蜥在保护项目的帮助下，在一个小岛上成功繁殖并恢复种群的故事，涉及野生动物的保护和生物学相关知识。由此可推断，本文最可能来自一本野生动物生物学杂志。故选C。 D As we age, it becomes common to experience stiffness (僵硬) or discomfort during simple daily movements. However, if such problems occur frequently, it may indicate the need to focus on mobility exercises. According to sports medicine specialists, maintaining good mobility is essential for long-term health and can help reduce the risk of various diseases, including heart conditions and depression. Mobility is often confused with flexibility, but the two are distinct concepts. Flexibility refers to how far a muscle can stretch, while mobility combines strength with the ability to move freely through a full range of motion. It involves the coordinated function of muscles, joints, tendons, and ligaments. Without adequate mobility, everyday tasks such as reaching overhead, bending down, or lifting objects can become challenging. From around the age of 30, the body naturally begins to lose collagen (胶原蛋白), leading to weaker muscular support and increased stress on joints. Even active individuals may overlook certain muscle groups, such as those supporting the shoulders and spine. Two early signs may suggest the need for mobility training: first, general joint stiffness or aching without significant exertion; second, sharp pain or swelling after occasional physical activity, such as playing sports. Experts warn against extreme self-tests popular on social media, which can easily cause injury without proper guidance. Instead, simple assessments like standing up from a chair without using hands or balancing on one foot can indicate current mobility levels. To maintain or improve mobility, regular low-impact exercises are recommended. Walking daily is an accessible starting point, especially for those who are less active. Integrating short mobility sessions into existing routines—such as hip lifts, knee pulls, or spinal twists—can gradually enhance movement capacity. Exercises like Tai Chi and yoga are also beneficial as follow-up practices, as they promote strength, balance, and joint mobility. For those seeking a structured workout plan, body-weight exercises like chair squats or wall push-ups can be done at home. As these become easier, resistance bands may be added to build further strength. Consistency is key; improvements in mobility may take several weeks to become noticeable, but regular, intentional practice leads to lasting and meaningful results. In summary, focusing on mobility through safe, regular exercises helps preserve functional independence and supports overall well-being throughout aging. 12. What is paragraph 2 mainly about? A. Tasks challenging for inactive people. B. Diseases caused by poor joint function. C. How to improve muscle stretching ability. D. Differences between mobility and flexibility. 13. Which is a simple mobility assessment? A. Balancing on one foot. B. Lifting heavy objects. C. Trying extreme social media tests. D. Using hands to stand up from a chair. 14. What is a recommended starting exercise for less active people? A. Practicing Tai Chi regularly. B. Walking daily. C. Using resistance bands at home. D. Doing wall push-ups frequently. 15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To warn against extreme self-tests. B. To compare mobility and flexibility. C. To introduce high-impact exercise types. D. To stress the importance of mobility in aging. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. B 15. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了随着年龄增长关注活动能力的重要性，包括活动能力与柔韧性的区别、身体变化对活动能力的影响、活动能力评估方式及改善活动能力的运动建议等。 【12题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第二段“Mobility is often confused with flexibility, but the two are distinct concepts. Flexibility refers to how far a muscle can stretch, while mobility combines strength with the ability to move freely through a full range of motion.(灵活性经常与柔韧性混淆，但两者是不同的概念。柔韧性指肌肉能伸展的程度，而灵活性则结合了力量和在完整运动范围内自由移动的能力)”可推知，该段主要阐述灵活性与柔韧性的区别。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Instead, simple assessments like standing up from a chair without using hands or balancing on one foot can indicate current mobility levels.(相反，一些简单的评估，比如不用手从椅子上站起来或单脚站立，就能反映出当前的灵活性水平)”可知，单脚站立是一种简单的灵活性评估方法。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段的“Walking daily is an accessible starting point, especially for those who are less active.(每天散步是一个容易实现的起点，尤其是对于那些不太活跃的人来说)”可知，对于不太活跃的人来说，推荐的入门锻炼是每天散步。故选B。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章第一段提到衰老过程中身体可能出现僵硬或不适，进而引出灵活性锻炼的重要性；随后区分了灵活性与柔韧性的概念、说明灵活性下降的原因和需要训练的信号、并介绍评估和锻炼方法，最后一段“In summary, focusing on mobility through safe, regular exercises helps preserve functional independence and supports overall well-being throughout aging.( 总之，通过安全且规律的锻炼来保持身体的灵活性，有助于维持功能上的独立性，并在整个衰老过程中促进整体健康状况的改善。)”做出总结，因此推断本文的写作目的是强调衰老过程中灵活性的重要性。故选D。 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。 Older people who are particularly at risk of Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病) disease could slow their cognitive (认知) decline by taking just 3,000 steps a day. ___16___ However, it could be linked to the impact of regular exercise on inflammation (炎症) or blood flow to the brain. Previous studies that link regular exercise to reduced cognitive decline have mostly relied on people recalling their activity levels but have rarely explored why staying active may have this effect. To address such limitations, Wai-Ying Wendy Yau at Harvard University and her co-workers analysed the physical activity of 296 cognitively healthy people, who wore step-tracking devices for one week to objectively measure their activity levels. ___17___ Most of the participants had their brain imaged to reveal their baseline levels of misfolded proteins called tau (tau蛋白) and beta-amyloid, gathering of which is thought to cause Alzheimer’s. The participants also completed annual cognitive tests that assessed things like their memory and how quickly they processed information. ___18___ They found that, among the participants with above-average levels of misfolded beta-amyloid in their brain at the start, taking between 3,000 and 5,000 steps per day seemed to greatly slow the build-up of misfolded tau, but not beta-amyloid. “ ___19___ This activity level showed 54% slower cognitive decline than inactivity,” says Yau. The researchers didn’t explore exactly how regular exercise may have these effects, but it could be due to physical activity reducing inflammation. ___20___ A. What was the result? B. A simple walk can fight diseases. C. The tests were not easy to complete. D. These people were aged between 50 and 90. E. Exercise may also boost blood flow to the brain. F. Why this step count might have this effect is unclear. G. Walking 5,000 to 7,500 steps daily further reduces tau build-up. 【答案】16. F 17. D 18. A 19. G 20.

On our first day, my parents told my brother Leo and me to always be polite and honest to our neighbors. Next door lived Mr. Jenkins, a retired man who mostly kept to himself. His garden was the neatest on the street, filled with colorful flowers, especially roses that he took very good care of. In the middle, on a small stone seat, sat a fine white ceramic (陶瓷的) bird. It looked old and was placed with great care. Last Saturday, while playing soccer with Leo in our backyard, I kicked the ball too hard. It flew over the wooden fence. We heard a sharp crack. Looking through the gaps, we saw the ball next to the stone seat. The white ceramic bird was in pieces. Leo cried, “Oh no! Mr. Jenkins!” Everyone knew Mr. Jenkins was a serious man who valued his quiet space. Just last month, a boy’s toy had landed in his yard, and Mr. Jenkins had returned it with a firm “Please be more careful,” but no smile. Fear rushed through me. “Quick! Inside!” I whispered, pulling Leo away before we were seen. For two days, I avoided the backyard, feeling guilty each time I glanced toward Mr. Jenkins’s house. But yesterday evening, while taking out the trash, I saw him. He was on his knees by the seat, slowly gathering the broken pieces into a small box. He held one piece, a wing, for a long time before placing it inside. His shoulders drooped (下垂), and he looked more sad than angry. My heart sank as I realized how much that little bird must have meant to him. 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。 That night, guilt kept me awake. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my savings in hand, I entered the gift shop, determined to make things right. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: That night, guilt kept me awake. My parents’ words about honesty echoed in my mind, mixing with the image of Mr. Jenkins’s sad face. I imagined him finding the broken bird, piece by piece, all alone. Hiding felt like a second mistake, bigger than the first. I found Leo looking at Mr. Jenkins’s window. “We have to tell him and make up the loss,” I said, my voice firm. Leo nodded slowly and said, “I’ll go with you.” Courage began to push aside the fear. I knew apologizing was the only way forward. With my savings in hand, I entered the gift shop, determined to make things right. I searched until I found a similar ceramic bird with the word “Hope” on it. It felt right. Holding it tightly, I walked to Mr. Jenkins’s door. My heart raced as I knocked. When he opened it, I took a deep breath. “Mr. Jenkins, I broke your bird. I am truly sorry. This is for you.” He looked at the gift, then at me. After a quiet moment, his expression softened. “Thank you for your courage,” he said gently. “Would you boys like to help me in the garden this weekend?” I nodded, smiling with relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者一家搬到枫树街后，作者不小心踢球打碎了邻居詹金斯先生珍爱的陶瓷鸟，因恐惧选择了逃避，但后来看到老人伤心的背影深感愧疚，最终决定用零花钱买一只新鸟赔罪并道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ① 由第一段首句可知，第一段可描写作者内心的挣扎，回想起父母的教诲和詹金斯先生的悲伤，最终鼓起勇气决定坦白并承担责任。 ② 由第二段首句可知，第二段可描写作者购买替代礼物、登门道歉的过程，以及詹金斯先生态度的转变和对作者的谅解。 2. 续写线索： 内心煎熬——决定坦白——购买礼物——登门道歉——获得谅解——感悟成长 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 弥补损失：make up the loss/compensate for the loss ② 驱散：push aside the fear/set aside/dispel ③ 软化（态度）：soften/relax/ease up 情绪类 ① 悲伤的：sad/upset/sorrowful ② 坚定：firm/determined/resolute 【点睛】【高分句型1】I knew apologizing was the only way forward.(运用了省略了连接词that的宾语从句，动名词作主语) 【高分句型2】When he opened it, I took a deep breath.(运用了when引导的时间状语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
