So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible. My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins.He made the least rubbish in our family. My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing! My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves.She did a good job! I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it! I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth! 4. What activity did the writer’s family hold when they joined the club? A. A competition. B. A trip. C. A picnic. D. A party. 5. What does the word “leftovers” mean in the third paragraph? A. Dishes that are cooked by mother. B. Waste that is produced in the kitchen. C. Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal. D. Food bags that are used to put the vegetable leaves. 6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s mother can deal with the rubbish easily. B. The writer stopped eating snacks. C. The writer’s sister used only one side of the paper now. D. The writer might become healthier after the activity. 7. Which can be the slogan (口号) of the activity? A. No pain, no gain. B. Never too old to learn. C. Small actions make a big difference. D. He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文，作者讲述了自己一家加入名为 “绿色未来” 的环保俱乐部后，开展了 “垃圾瓶任务”活动，即把垃圾装在一个 600 毫升的瓶子里，尽量减少垃圾产生。文中分别介绍了父亲、母亲、妹妹和自己在活动中的表现以及从中的收获，强调了每个人都可以通过小行动来保护地球。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible.(所以我们家举办了一个活动“垃圾瓶任务”。这意味着垃圾需要装在一个600毫升的瓶子里。我们决定测试一下我们的能力，尽量少制造垃圾。)”可知，作者一家举行的“垃圾瓶任务”活动是为了测试自己的能力，尽量少产生垃圾，这类似于一种竞赛性质的活动。故选A项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day.(更糟糕的是，那天我们吃不完晚餐上所有的食物。)”由此可知，剩菜是无法避免的。故可猜测划线单词leftovers为“剩菜”的意思，和C选项Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal.“饭后没吃完的食物”意思相近。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it!(我喜欢零食和饮料。所以我的垃圾几乎都来自它们。我高度警惕，必须减少废物的产生。我很少吃零食或饮料。太难了，但我做到了！)”可知，作者为了减少垃圾产生，减少了吃零食和喝饮料的量。从健康角度来说，少吃零食和饮料可能会让作者变得更健康，所以D选项“The writer might become healthier after the activity.”（作者在活动后可能会变得更健康）正确，ABC选项均与原文实意不符。故选D项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了作者一家通过 “垃圾瓶任务”这样的小行动来减少垃圾产生，进而保护环境，强调了每个人都可以从身边的小行动做起，为保护地球做出贡献。C 选项“Small actions make a big difference.”（小行动会产生大影响），符合文章中通过小行动来保护环境的主旨，可以作为活动的口号。故选C项。 C English is an excellent language to learn, whether it’s for business, travel or personal reasons. Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English. When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Don’t wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you—you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them. Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find it’s very difficult to understand if you don’t work on your pronunciation. Correct , clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them. The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence—this is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time. Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis(重点) is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking “correct” English. 8. What is the best title of the text? A. Ways of improving your spoken English B. English is an excellent language to learn C. English is useful for business and travels D. How to learn English grammar clearly 9. The writer suggested people start practicing when________. A. they feel comfortable B. they meet the surprising thing C. they have any time D. they improve their language skills 10. What is the best way to improve the pronunciation? A. Just remember the grammar. B. Make sure how words are read and copy them. C. Try the best to remember the spelling of the words. D. Speak English when you “feel more comfortable”. 11. We can learn from the passage that_________. A. it’s not necessary to find a native English speaker with whom you can practice speaking English B. native English speakers can understand you easily if you have a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary C. An English party is a good place where you can learn the correct way of speaking D. Using a new word or phrase in a sentence is the best way to memorize it 【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲了提高英语口语水平的一些方法。 【8题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段主题句“Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English.( 这里有一些提高英语口语的重要方法。)”可知这篇文章主要讲了提高英语口语水平的一些方法。故选A项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Don’t wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today.(当你有时间说话时，就尽力练习。不要等到你觉得说英语“更舒服”了，所以今天就开始说英语吧。)”可知作者建议人们一有时间就开始练习说英语。故选C项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Correct , clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them. (正确、清晰的发音是必要的，如果你真的想提高你的英语。仔细听以英语为母语的人如何发某些单词和音，尽最大努力去模仿。)”可知改善发音最好的方法是确定每一个单词如何发音，并且模仿。故选B项。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence—this is the best way to keep it in mind. (一旦你学会了一个新单词或短语，你应该努力在一个句子中使用它——这是记住它的最好方法。)”可知在一个句子中使用一个新的单词或新的短语，是记住它的最好的方法。故选D项。 D Sally Rooney’s fans have all been speculating (猜测) about a television adaptation of her third book, Beautiful World, Where Are You. The expectations have grown after Normal People and Conversations with Friends were adapted into TV shows. However, Rooney has settled the speculation once and for all, saying that this book will not be adapted anytime soon. In interviews with the media, Rooney said she had not yet considered offers for TV adaptations of the book, citing that it was “time to take a break from that” and let the novel be its own thing in literature. It goes along with her feelings about the world of TV, which she says isn’t one she feels like she’s meant to be in. Sally Rooney has refused to adapt her third novel for the screen because of what occurred with her previous works. In a September 2024 interview, she explained that after the media attention around Normal People, the discourse (讨论) and public interest in the project began to overwhelm her. “It was a really big job,” Rooney said, reflecting on the adaptation process of her hit novel. Reminding everyone of the huge attention an adaptation can bring, she said that the wide media coverage and audience reaction made her realize that her true home is in books. “Now I know that my books are where I belong, and that’s all I want to be doing,” she said. While Beautiful World, Where Are You is not heading to TV anytime soon, Sally Rooney has not entirely ruled out the possibility of future adaptations. “I just feel it is time to take a break from TV,” she told Deadline in a September 2024 interview. These adaptations have arguably shifted the direction of her career, but for now, the author seems fairly comfortable relying on her literary roots. On September 24, 2024, Rooney published the novel Intermezzo. Whether this new book, or even Beautiful World, Where Are You, will eventually be adapted remains to be seen, but Sally Rooney is happy to let her writing speak for itself without the need for the silver screen. 12. What do we know about Rooney’s response to the TV adaptation of her third book? A. Her fans prefer the TV adaptation of her third book. B. She has no plan to adapt her third book into TV plays yet. C. She is confident in the status of her books in literature. D. She doesn’t have good impressions of the TV world. 13. What contributed to Rooney’s rejection to bringing her third book to the screen? A. The unpleasant experiences in previous adaptations. B. The public criticism and countless TV interviews. C. The peace and comfort she could find only in books. D. The pressure from adaptations and audience reaction. 14. What can we infer from the passage? A. Rooney’s fans still have a chance to see her third work on TV. B. Rooney will never adapt her third book as she only relies on books. C. Rooney won’t let adaptations change the direction of her career. D. Rooney is too exhausted from adaptations and wants to have a rest. 15. Which column of a website does this passage belong to? A. Book Review. B. Celebrity. C. Literature. D. Weekly charts. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇新闻报道。文章主要介绍了Sally Rooney明确表示，她的第三本小说Beautiful World, Where Are You暂时不会改编成电视剧。她解释了自己拒绝改编的原因，包括之前作品改编带来的巨大压力和公众关注，以及她对文学创作的深厚归属感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In interviews with the media, Rooney said she had not yet considered offers for TV adaptations of the book, citing that it was “time to take a break from that” and let the novel be its own thing in literature.(在接受媒体采访时，Rooney表示她尚未考虑过将这本书改编成电视剧的提议，并称现在是“从这件事中休息一下”的时候了，让这部小说在文学领域中独立存在)”可知，Rooney明确表示她暂时没有考虑将第三本书Beautiful World, Where Are You改编成电视剧，并强调现在是时候从电视改编中“休息一下”，因此她还没有计划将第三本书改编成电视剧。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“In a September 2024 interview, she explained that after the media attention around Normal People, the discourse (讨论) and public interest in the project began to overwhelm her. “It was a really big job,” Rooney said, reflecting on the adaptation process of her hit novel. Reminding everyone of the huge attention an adaptation can bring, she said that the wide media coverage and audience reaction made her realize that her true home is in books.(在2024年9月的一次采访中，她解释说，在Normal People引起媒体关注后，关于该项目的讨论和公众兴趣开始让她感到压力巨大。“这真是一份巨大的工作，” Rooney在回顾她畅销小说的改编过程时说道。她提醒人们，改编可能带来的巨大关注，媒体的广泛报道和观众的反应让她意识到，自己的真正归属是书籍)”可知，Rooney提到之前的作品改编后带来的媒体关注和公众讨论让她感到压力巨大，这种压力和观众反应让她意识到，自己的真正归属是书籍，因此拒绝将第三本书改编。故选D。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While Beautiful World, Where Are You is not heading to TV anytime soon, Sally Rooney has not entirely ruled out the possibility of future adaptations. “I just feel it is time to take a break from TV,” she told Deadline in a September 2024 interview.(虽然Beautiful World, Where Are You暂时不会搬上电视，但Sally Rooney并未完全排除未来改编的可能性。“我只是觉得现在是时候从电视中休息一下了，”她在2024年9月接受《截止日》采访时表示)”可知，虽然Rooney目前拒绝改编，但她并没有完全排除未来的可能性，只是表示“现在”需要休息。故可推知，粉丝未来仍有机会看到她的第三本书被改编。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Sally Rooney’s fans have all been speculating (猜测) about a television adaptation of her third book, Beautiful World, Where Are You. The expectations have grown after Normal People and Conversations with Friends were adapted into TV shows. However, Rooney has settled the speculation once and for all, saying that this book will not be adapted anytime soon.( Sally Rooney的粉丝们一直在猜测她的第三本书Beautiful World, Where Are You是否会被改编成电视剧。在Normal People和Conversations with Friends被改编成电视剧后，这种期待愈发强烈。然而，Rooney最终明确表示，这本书暂时不会改编成电视剧)”可知，这篇文章主要讨论了Sally Rooney的小说及其对电视改编的态度，属于文学领域的报道，因此应归类为文学栏目。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Dark circles under the eyes are a big problem not only for women but also for men. ___16___.

Sometimes, I would become very confused. Math problems that seemed to be impossible to solve, puzzling grammar in English, and difficult historical events all made me feel at a loss. I didn’t know where to start or how to improve. Moreover, the fierce competition among classmates also added to my anxiety. Seeing others doing well, I couldn’t help but question myself, wondering if I was working hard enough. This sense of uncertainty made me doubt my abilities and future. I was losing patience and drive. One sunny day, as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored, my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project — to plant a tree in the schoolyard. I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree. I worked hard, feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead. As I was working, a classmate, Mary, came over and said, “Hey, you’re really putting a lot of effort into this!” I smiled and replied, “Yeah, I want this tree to grow strong. It feels like we’re doing something meaningful.” Mary nodded in agreement, “Definitely. And it’s amazing to think about how we’re all part of this process of growth.” As the weeks passed, I would visit the tree often, observing the little tree as it faced many challenges, including harsh weather and strong winds. But each time, it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger, providing shade and shelter for us. Its journey in the wind and rain was a test of its perseverance (坚持) and growth. It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree, growing and changing. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 One day, as I stood by a tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, as I stood by the tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. She asked, “What are you thinking about?” I explained my realization about the tree and how it mirrored my struggles. My teacher smiled warmly and said, “That’s exactly right. Just like the tree, you will face challenges, but you must keep growing. You need to persevere, adapt, and find strength within yourself. Remember, every difficulty you overcome makes you stronger.” Her words impressed me deeply, and I felt a renewed sense of determination. I decided then and there to approach my studies with the same persistence as the tree. Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. Inspired by the tree’s growth and my teacher’s encouragement, I began to tackle my academic challenges . Slowly but surely, I noticed improvements in my grades. More importantly, I learned to consider challenges as opportunities for growth. This shift in mindset not only helped me academically but also taught me a lifelong lesson about the power of perseverance and the beauty of continuous learning. Whenever I face obstacles now, I remember the tree and the wisdom it taught me, reminding me that with patience and determination, I can overcome any adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一棵树的成长过程为线索，映射了作者在高中阶段面对学习困难和自我怀疑的心路历程。然而，一次特别的植树项目成为转折点，激发了作者的兴趣与热情。作者见证了小树在逆境中展现出的坚韧与成长，这不禁让他反思，是否也能如树一般，在面对生活中的风雨时，学会坚持与改变。这个过程不仅让作者体验到了自然界的顽强生命力，更促使他对自身的潜力与成长轨迹有了新的认识。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，当我站在树边沉思时，我的老师接近了我。”可知，第一段可描写老师解开作者心中的疑惑。 ②由第二段首句内容“现在回想起来，我意识到这次交谈是我生命中转折点。”可知，第二段可描这次谈话以后作者获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：站在树旁沉思——老师走近并询问——解开心中疑惑——回想交谈内容——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解决：tackle/handle/resolve ②克服：overcome/get over/conquer ③鼓舞：inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①深深地打动了我：impress me deeply/touch me deeply ②被激励的：inspired/motivated/encouraged 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Inspired by the tree’s growth and my teacher’s encouragement, I began to tackle my academic challenges.（运用了过去分词inspired 作状语） 【高分句型2】Whenever I face obstacles now, I remember the tree and the wisdom it taught me, reminding me that with patience and determination, I can overcome any adversity.（运用了whenever引导时间状语从句，省略了引导词that/which的定语从句和现在分词reminding 作结果状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上期衡阳县三中高一年级期中英语试卷 （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） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面6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.

B My family joined an environmental protection club named Green Future — a club to remind people to protect the earth. So our family held an activity “Bottle of Rubbish Task”. That means the rubbish needs to be put in a 600 ml bottle. We decided to test our ability and produce as little rubbish as possible. My father worked online all day, so he didn’t produce any paper waste except paper napkins.He made the least rubbish in our family. My mother cooked and produced plenty of kitchen waste, such as vegetable leaves, eggshells and food bags. What’s worse, we couldn’t eat up all the food of the dinner that day. So leftovers couldn’t be avoided. It was not easy for mom to deal with all the rubbish, but she found a way to put it all into the bottle. How amazing! My sister, a 16-year-old student, was busy preparing for her exams. She had to use paper to work out math or physics problems. She used only one side of the paper in the past. But from then on, she tried to use both sides of the paper because she realized we were challenging ourselves.She did a good job! I was different from my sister. I love snacks and drinks. So my rubbish was almost from them. I was highly alert (警觉的) that I must produce less waste. I had fewer snacks or drinks. It was too difficult, but I did it! I’ve learnt a lot from this activity. I realize that everyone can produce less rubbish. We should start with small actions to protect the earth! 4. What activity did the writer’s family hold when they joined the club? A. A competition. B. A trip. C. A picnic. D. A party. 5. What does the word “leftovers” mean in the third paragraph? A. Dishes that are cooked by mother. B. Waste that is produced in the kitchen. C. Food that hasn’t been eaten up at the end of a meal. D. Food bags that are used to put the vegetable leaves. 6. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s mother can deal with the rubbish easily. B. The writer stopped eating snacks. C. The writer’s sister used only one side of the paper now. D. The writer might become healthier after the activity. 7. Which can be the slogan (口号) of the activity? A. No pain, no gain. B. Never too old to learn. C. Small actions make a big difference. D. He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man. C English is an excellent language to learn, whether it’s for business, travel or personal reasons. Here are some important ways to improve your spoken English. When you have time to speak, just try your best to practice. Don’t wait until you “feel more comfortable” speaking in English, so start speaking English today. You’ll be surprised at how quickly your language skills improve. Find a native English speaker who is willing to spend some time speaking English with you—you may be able to offer them a language exchange, where they spend 30 minutes speaking English with you and you spend 30 minutes speaking your native language with them. Even if you have a good knowledge of the grammar and vocabulary, native English speakers may find it’s very difficult to understand if you don’t work on your pronunciation. Correct , clear pronunciation is necessary if you really want to improve your English. Listen closely to how native English speakers pronounce certain words and sounds and do your best to copy them. The wider your vocabulary and the more English phrases you learn, the easier speaking English will become. Once you have learned a new word or phrase, you should make an effort to use it in a sentence—this is the best way to keep it in mind. You should also start a notebook of phrases that English speakers use all the time. Another great way to add some more English conversation into your weekly practice is to sign up for a class of discussion group. Attending an English class is a great way to pay attention to some of the more formal aspects of speaking English. A class will teach you the correct way of speaking. Attending a discussion group is a more informal and relaxed way of learning English, where the emphasis(重点) is more on communication and relationship building than on speaking “correct” English. 8. What is the best title of the text? A. Ways of improving your spoken English B. English is an excellent language to learn C. English is useful for business and travels D. How to learn English grammar clearly 9. The writer suggested people start practicing when________. A. they feel comfortable B. they meet the surprising thing C. they have any time D. they improve their language skills 10. What is the best way to improve the pronunciation? A. Just remember the grammar. B. Make sure how words are read and copy them. C. Try the best to remember the spelling of the words. D. Speak English when you “feel more comfortable”. 11. We can learn from the passage that_________. A. it’s not necessary to find a native English speaker with whom you can practice speaking English B. native English speakers can understand you easily if you have a good knowledge of grammar and vocabulary C. An English party is a good place where you can learn the correct way of speaking D. Using a new word or phrase in a sentence is the best way to memorize it D Sally Rooney’s fans have all been speculating (猜测) about a television adaptation of her third book, Beautiful World, Where Are You. The expectations have grown after Normal People and Conversations with Friends were adapted into TV shows. However, Rooney has settled the speculation once and for all, saying that this book will not be adapted anytime soon. In interviews with the media, Rooney said she had not yet considered offers for TV adaptations of the book, citing that it was “time to take a break from that” and let the novel be its own thing in literature. It goes along with her feelings about the world of TV, which she says isn’t one she feels like she’s meant to be in. Sally Rooney has refused to adapt her third novel for the screen because of what occurred with her previous works. In a September 2024 interview, she explained that after the media attention around Normal People, the discourse (讨论) and public interest in the project began to overwhelm her. “It was a really big job,” Rooney said, reflecting on the adaptation process of her hit novel. Reminding everyone of the huge attention an adaptation can bring, she said that the wide media coverage and audience reaction made her realize that her true home is in books. “Now I know that my books are where I belong, and that’s all I want to be doing,” she said. While Beautiful World, Where Are You is not heading to TV anytime soon, Sally Rooney has not entirely ruled out the possibility of future adaptations. “I just feel it is time to take a break from TV,” she told Deadline in a September 2024 interview. These adaptations have arguably shifted the direction of her career, but for now, the author seems fairly comfortable relying on her literary roots. On September 24, 2024, Rooney published the novel Intermezzo. Whether this new book, or even Beautiful World, Where Are You, will eventually be adapted remains to be seen, but Sally Rooney is happy to let her writing speak for itself without the need for the silver screen. 12. What do we know about Rooney’s response to the TV adaptation of her third book? A. Her fans prefer the TV adaptation of her third book. B. She has no plan to adapt her third book into TV plays yet. C. She is confident in the status of her books in literature. D. She doesn’t have good impressions of the TV world. 13. What contributed to Rooney’s rejection to bringing her third book to the screen? A. The unpleasant experiences in previous adaptations. B. The public criticism and countless TV interviews. C. The peace and comfort she could find only in books. D. The pressure from adaptations and audience reaction. 14. What can we infer from the passage? A. Rooney’s fans still have a chance to see her third work on TV. B. Rooney will never adapt her third book as she only relies on books. C. Rooney won’t let adaptations change the direction of her career. D. Rooney is too exhausted from adaptations and wants to have a rest. 15. Which column of a website does this passage belong to? A. Book Review. B. Celebrity. C. Literature. D. Weekly charts. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，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。 Dark circles under the eyes are a big problem not only for women but also for men. ___16___.

Sometimes, I would become very confused. Math problems that seemed to be impossible to solve, puzzling grammar in English, and difficult historical events all made me feel at a loss. I didn’t know where to start or how to improve. Moreover, the fierce competition among classmates also added to my anxiety. Seeing others doing well, I couldn’t help but question myself, wondering if I was working hard enough. This sense of uncertainty made me doubt my abilities and future. I was losing patience and drive. One sunny day, as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored, my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project — to plant a tree in the schoolyard. I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree. I worked hard, feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead. As I was working, a classmate, Mary, came over and said, “Hey, you’re really putting a lot of effort into this!” I smiled and replied, “Yeah, I want this tree to grow strong. It feels like we’re doing something meaningful.” Mary nodded in agreement, “Definitely. And it’s amazing to think about how we’re all part of this process of growth.” As the weeks passed, I would visit the tree often, observing the little tree as it faced many challenges, including harsh weather and strong winds. But each time, it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger, providing shade and shelter for us. Its journey in the wind and rain was a test of its perseverance (坚持) and growth. It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree, growing and changing. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 One day, as I stood by a tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
