B When Maggie was a very young girl, she loved looking up at the stars in the sky, and she loved a British television stop- animation (定格动画) series, The Clangers, about mousy- looking beings from another planet. It’s debatable as to which fueled her dream of becoming a space scientist more, but one thing is for sure: the passion Maggie had for space inspired a career and helped her overcome her dyslexia (读写困难) . The now celebrated space scientist, mechanical engineer, and science communicator grew up bouncing from one area of the country to another, the child of two Nigerian immigrants. Diagnosed (诊断) with dyslexia at the age of eight, Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning environments. Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult, and she was sometimes looked down upon by classmates. Despite these obstacles, her passion for science and space exploration shone through. Rather than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed, Maggie discovered its advantages: her brain was good at visualization and problem- solving, enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges from unique perspectives. Her journey to success wasn’t easy. After overcoming early academic struggles, she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering. Today, she is well known for her work in space science, including the development of satellites and instruments used to explore the universe. Her contributions to science are widely recognized, and she has become an inspiring role model for young people, particularly those facing learning difficulties. Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of processing the world, one that can lead to extraordinary achievements. Maggie’s life and career prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths, inspiring others to see the potential in their own unique abilities. 4. What can we learn about Maggie from paragraph 1? A. She was born with a talent for space science. B. Her dyslexia stopped her path to her dream. C. Her passion for space promoted her career. D. She was mainly inspired by The Clangers. 5. Which word best describes Maggie’s early learning experience? A. Engaging. B. Enriching. C. Relaxing. D. Demanding. 6. What did Maggie’s achievements result from? A. Inner desire. B. Family support. C. Peer assistance. D. Social recognition. 7. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the text? A. To present a scientist’s contributions. B. To discuss the disadvantages of dyslexia. C. To encourage people to face difficulties bravely. D. To highlight the importance of space exploration. C People have been trying to create glowing (发光) plants for decades. The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see. Last year, US biotech company Light Bio launched the Firefly Petunia, the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale. It claims that the plant’s brightness is “similar to moonlight,” but judging from photos on social media, it’s nowhere near as bright as a full moon. There is a reason why this is so difficult. Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light. Given this fact, plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights. To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it’s found that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants, so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand. However, making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is considered “cheating.” At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential environmental concern when the plants die and are thrown out. If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wavelengths into usable ones, and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark. 8. What makes it hard for plants to glow brightly? A. The low light-use efficiency of photosynthesis. B. Plants need most captured light to survive and grow. C. Photosynthesis transforms only part of sunlight into usable energy. D. Plants’ leaves cannot store enough light. 9. How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants? A. By adding phosphors into the leaves. B. By using adult plants that are more efficient than seedlings. C. By manually adjusting light conditions. D. By distributing chemicals evenly inside the leaves. 10. What can we learn about phosphorescent plants from the passage? A. They need careful light management. B. Their glow fade over time. C. They can cause environmental pollution. D. They are less bright than expected. 11. What’s the function of the last paragraph? A. To discuss the difficulties of making plants glow. B. To explore potential future applications of glowing plants. C. To explain current experiments with glowing plants. D. To highlight environmental concerns of glowing plants. D For years, sugar has been labeled a primary cause behind the global rise in diabetes (糖尿病), especially type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, groundbreaking research from Brigham Young University challenges this broad assumption. A large-scale study reveals a crucial detail: the source and form of sugar matter significantly when it comes to diabetes risk. The findings paint a contrasting picture. On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. On the other hand, sugars naturally present in or added to solid, nutrient-dense whole foods (such as whole fruits, dairy products, or whole grains) appeared to be far less harmful or potentially even protective. Why is there such a big difference? Researchers point to metabolism (新陈代谢). Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system. They cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar, overwhelming the liver. This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development. Conversely, sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream. The fiber, fat, protein, and other beneficial nutrients naturally accompanying the sugar in these whole foods act as buffers, reducing the glycemic (血糖的) impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded. The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice. Despite containing some vitamins, its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit. The vital fiber present in whole fruit, crucial for moderating blood sugar response, is largely missing in juice. “This study emphasizes the need for even stricter recommendations for liquid sugars such as those in sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice, as they appear to harmfully associate with metabolic health,” said Della Corte, one of the lead researchers. “Rather than criticizing all added sugars, future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form.” 12. Which form of sugar consumption brings a higher T2D risk? A. Sugar from whole grains and dairy products. B. Sugar naturally found in whole fruits. C. Sugar added to nutrient-dense solid foods. D. Sugar present in various liquid drinks. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reasons for sugar metabolism. B. The benefits of sugar metabolism. C. The differences in sugar metabolism. D. The significance of sugar metabolism. 14. To lower the risk of T2D, which practice is most likely supported by the study? A. Avoiding dairy products containing sugar. B. Replacing soda drinks with whole fruits. C. Increasing consumption of 100% fruit juice. D. Consuming as much fiber and fat as possible. 15. What can be inferred from Della Corte’s statement about future dietary guidelines? A. They should reconsider the impact of sugar on metabolism. B. They should remove fruit juice from recommendations. C. They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to sugar. D. They should criticize sugars regardless of different effects. 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。 Changing Your Inner Voice Picture this: You’ve just arrived home from the grocery store and realized that you forgot to buy the main food you needed for dinner. You may feel upset and tired. And then, the voice in your head begins its comments: “It’s really stupid of me.” Or “Why am I always so careless?” ____16____ We’ve all been there — experiencing the inner dialogue that follows a mistake or a setback. ____17____ Negative self-talk is a normal part of being human.

In addition, self-criticism has been associated with higher stress levels and an increased risk of mental health issues, such as depression. The good news is that we can change our self-talk. The first step is becoming aware of the role our inner voice plays. Once we recognize its impact, we can use simple techniques to shift how we talk to ourselves. ____20____ Besides, using your name instead of “I” during inner dialogue can also create a more supportive, less critical voice.

Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 历城一中高二期中考试英语试题 202605 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.

Diagnosed (诊断) with dyslexia at the age of eight, Maggie faced enormous challenges in traditional learning environments. Dyslexia often made reading and writing difficult, and she was sometimes looked down upon by classmates. Despite these obstacles, her passion for science and space exploration shone through. Rather than focusing on the limitations dyslexia imposed, Maggie discovered its advantages: her brain was good at visualization and problem- solving, enabling her to think creatively and approach challenges from unique perspectives. Her journey to success wasn’t easy. After overcoming early academic struggles, she went on to earn degrees in physics and mechanical engineering. Today, she is well known for her work in space science, including the development of satellites and instruments used to explore the universe. Her contributions to science are widely recognized, and she has become an inspiring role model for young people, particularly those facing learning difficulties. Her story is a powerful reminder that dyslexia is not a limitation but a different way of processing the world, one that can lead to extraordinary achievements. Maggie’s life and career prove that facing what makes you different can turn challenges into strengths, inspiring others to see the potential in their own unique abilities. 4.

The challenge is making the glow bright enough for our eyes to see. Last year, US biotech company Light Bio launched the Firefly Petunia, the first genetically engineered glowing plant to go on sale. It claims that the plant’s brightness is “similar to moonlight,” but judging from photos on social media, it’s nowhere near as bright as a full moon. There is a reason why this is so difficult. Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light. Given this fact, plants will never glow bright enough to take the place of streetlights. To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis. The problem is getting the phosphor chemicals evenly distributed inside the leaves. But now it’s found that such distribution is easily achieved in certain plants, so brightly phosphorescent plants of various colors are created by adding phosphors into each leaf by hand. However, making plants glow by physically adding phosphors into them is considered “cheating.” At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger. There is also a potential environmental concern when the plants die and are thrown out. If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. Being able to temporarily “store” light could help keep the light steady, transform unusable wavelengths into usable ones, and allow photosynthesis to continue into the night. One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark. 8. What makes it hard for plants to glow brightly? A. The low light-use efficiency of photosynthesis. B. Plants need most captured light to survive and grow. C. Photosynthesis transforms only part of sunlight into usable energy. D. Plants’ leaves cannot store enough light. 9. How do some groups improve the brightness of the plants? A. By adding phosphors into the leaves. B. By using adult plants that are more efficient than seedlings. C. By manually adjusting light conditions. D. By distributing chemicals evenly inside the leaves. 10. What can we learn about phosphorescent plants from the passage? A. They need careful light management. B. Their glow fade over time. C. They can cause environmental pollution. D. They are less bright than expected. 11. What’s the function of the last paragraph? A. To discuss the difficulties of making plants glow. B. To explore potential future applications of glowing plants. C. To explain current experiments with glowing plants. D. To highlight environmental concerns of glowing plants. 【答案】8. A 9. A 10. B 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨了创造发光植物所面临的挑战，介绍了当前物理添加磷光体的方法及其局限性，并提出了未来的展望。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Plants get their energy from light, but photosynthesis (光合作用) is wildly inefficient. It’s estimated that most plants capture less than 2 percent of the light that falls on them, and they need part of it to survive and grow. That leaves precious little to transform back into light.(植物的能量来源于光，但光合作用的效率极低。据估计，大多数植物只能吸收照射在它们身上的光能的不到2%，它们需要其中的一部分来生存和生长。这就使得能够重新转化为光能的量少之又少。)”可知，植物难以发出明亮光芒的原因是光合作用效率极低，植物捕获光能少，并且需要将部分捕获的光能用于自身的生存和生长，导致没有足够的能量用于发光。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“To solve this, a few groups have instead been trying to physically add phosphors (磷光体), a type of light-storing material that glows in the dark, to adult plants, which are much more efficient than photosynthesis.(为了解决这个问题，一些研究小组转而尝试在成熟植物上直接添加磷光体，这是一种能在黑暗中发光的储光材料，磷光体比光合作用更为高效。)”可知，一些研究小组尝试将磷光体直接添加到成熟植物的叶子中。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“At the very least, the glow will become weaker if these plants survive and grow larger.(至少，如果这些植物存活下来并长得更大，发光会变得更弱。)”可知，随着时间推移，光会减弱。原文只是说“There is also a potential environmental concern(存在潜在的环境担忧)”，并没有确定会造成环境污染，C项的表述太绝对。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“If the plants were genetically engineered to make their own long-lasting phosphors that are fully biodegradable, it would be a different story. In fact, giving plants this ability might even boost the efficiency of photosynthesis. (如果这些植物经过基因工程改造，可以制造出自身完全可生物降解的长效荧光粉，那就另当别论了。事实上，赋予植物这种能力甚至可能提高光合作用的效率。)”可知，文章最后一段提出设想，如果通过基因工程改造让植物自身产生可生物降解的磷光体，不仅能解决环境问题，甚至可能提高光合作用效率，并在最后“One day, perhaps entire fields will glow in the dark.(也许有一天，整片田野都会在黑暗中发光)”提出展望。由此可见，该段落旨在探讨发光植物在未来可能的潜在应用和广阔前景。 D For years, sugar has been labeled a primary cause behind the global rise in diabetes (糖尿病), especially type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, groundbreaking research from Brigham Young University challenges this broad assumption. A large-scale study reveals a crucial detail: the source and form of sugar matter significantly when it comes to diabetes risk. The findings paint a contrasting picture. On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. On the other hand, sugars naturally present in or added to solid, nutrient-dense whole foods (such as whole fruits, dairy products, or whole grains) appeared to be far less harmful or potentially even protective. Why is there such a big difference? Researchers point to metabolism (新陈代谢). Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system. They cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar, overwhelming the liver. This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development. Conversely, sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream. The fiber, fat, protein, and other beneficial nutrients naturally accompanying the sugar in these whole foods act as buffers, reducing the glycemic (血糖的) impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded. The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice. Despite containing some vitamins, its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit. The vital fiber present in whole fruit, crucial for moderating blood sugar response, is largely missing in juice. “This study emphasizes the need for even stricter recommendations for liquid sugars such as those in sugar-sweetened beverages and fruit juice, as they appear to harmfully associate with metabolic health,” said Della Corte, one of the lead researchers. “Rather than criticizing all added sugars, future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form.” 12. Which form of sugar consumption brings a higher T2D risk? A. Sugar from whole grains and dairy products. B. Sugar naturally found in whole fruits. C. Sugar added to nutrient-dense solid foods. D. Sugar present in various liquid drinks. 13. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The reasons for sugar metabolism. B. The benefits of sugar metabolism. C. The differences in sugar metabolism. D. The significance of sugar metabolism. 14. To lower the risk of T2D, which practice is most likely supported by the study? A. Avoiding dairy products containing sugar. B. Replacing soda drinks with whole fruits. C. Increasing consumption of 100% fruit juice. D. Consuming as much fiber and fat as possible. 15. What can be inferred from Della Corte’s statement about future dietary guidelines? A. They should reconsider the impact of sugar on metabolism. B. They should remove fruit juice from recommendations. C. They should not adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to sugar. D. They should criticize sugars regardless of different effects. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究，它对“糖是2型糖尿病上升的主要原因”这一普遍观点提出挑战，并阐述了不同形式糖分代谢差异、并给出相关建议。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. (一方面，以液体形式摄入的糖分，特别是通过含糖饮料如苏打水甚至100%的果汁，一直与2型糖尿病风险急剧增加有关联)”可知，各种液体饮料中的糖分摄入会使2型糖尿病风险更高。故选D项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段第一、二句“Why is there such a big difference? Researchers point to metabolism (新陈代谢). (为什么会有这么大的差异？研究人员指出是新陈代谢的原因)”可知，研究人员首先指出新陈代谢是造成巨大差异的原因。根据第三段“Liquid sugars from drinks act like isolated sugar floods entering the system. They cause rapid and large spikes in blood sugar, overwhelming the liver. This metabolic disruption leads to increased liver fat and insulin resistance-key factors in T2D development. (饮料中的液态糖就像孤立的糖洪流一样进入人体系统。它们会导致血糖迅速飙升，使肝脏不堪重负。这种代谢紊乱导致肝脏脂肪增加和胰岛素抵抗，这是2型糖尿病发展的关键因素)”和“Conversely, sugars added to solid foods are released much more slowly into the bloodstream. ... act as buffers, reducing the glycemic (血糖的) impact and preventing the liver from being overloaded. (相反，添加到固体食物中的糖释放到血液中的速度要慢得多。……起到缓冲作用，降低血糖的影响，防止肝脏负荷过重)”可知，液体糖分和固体食物中糖分在新陈代谢方面有着不同表现和影响，因此第三段主要讲的是不同类型糖分在新陈代谢方面的差异。故选C项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“On one hand, sugars consumed in liquid form — specifically through sugar-sweetened beverages like soda and even 100% fruit juice — were consistently linked to a sharply increased risk of developing T2D. (一方面，以液体形式摄入的糖分，特别是通过含糖饮料如苏打水甚至100%的果汁，一直与2型糖尿病风险急剧增加有关联)”以及第四段“The study delivers a clear warning about fruit juice. Despite containing some vitamins, its high concentration of liquid sugar makes it a poor substitute for whole fruit. (这项研究对果汁发出了明确的警告。尽管含有一些维生素，但它高浓度的液体糖分使其无法很好地替代完整的水果)”可知，用完整水果代替苏打饮料或100%的果汁能降低2型糖尿病风险，最有可能被这项研究支持。故选B项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段最后一句“Rather than criticizing all added sugars, future dietary guidelines might consider the different effects of sugar based on its source and form. (未来的饮食指南可能会根据糖的来源和形式考虑其不同影响，而不是批评所有的添加糖)”可知，未来的饮食指南不应该对糖分采取“一刀切”的方法。故选C项。 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。 Changing Your Inner Voice Picture this: You’ve just arrived home from the grocery store and realized that you forgot to buy the main food you needed for dinner.

He felt fortunate and happy when he was assigned as a steward instead of being sent back home. 【答案】39. dreaming 40. hid 41. to be found 【解析】 【导语】这篇文章主要介绍了Perce Blackborow一心想要参与探险，在申请被拒绝后偷偷藏在船上，最终被留下担任乘务员的经历。 【39题详解】 考查时态。句意：Perce Blackborow是一个既有激情又有毅力的年轻人，他长久以来一直向往一场精彩的冒险，因此当 Ernest Shackleton爵士拒绝他加入探险队的请求时，他并没有放弃。句中had long been + 现在分词构成过去完成进行时，表示从过去更早时间开始，一直持续到过去某时的动作，dream的现在分词形式为dreaming。 【40题详解】 考查时态。句意：Perce偷偷躲进了一个橱柜里，结果在他们出发三天后才被发现。文章整体叙述过去发生的事情，谓语动词使用一般过去时，hide的过去式为hid。 【41题详解】 考查非谓语动词。句意同上。only to do为固定结构，常表示出乎意料的结果；主语He与find之间是被动关系，因此用不定式的被动形式to be found。 C 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 There are ____42____ (vary) reasons why people write poetry.

The most anticipated event, the 4x100-meter relay race, was about to start. Tim, a passionate and athletic student, was part of his class’s relay team. Along with his teammates—Mark, Jack and Alex, he had trained intensively for weeks, nurturing high hopes of winning the gold medal. The atmosphere was electric as the runners took their positions. The starting gun fired, and Mark took off like a bolt of lightning, his powerful strides eating up the track. He smoothly handed the baton(接力棒)to Jack. Jack sprinted(冲刺)ahead with all his might, skillfully maintaining their lead. Then, it was Tim’s turn. As Jack approached at top speed, Tim reached out eagerly for the baton. But in his over-enthusiasm, he miscalculated the distance, and to his horror, the baton dropped to the ground. Time seemed to stand still as Tim stared at the baton, his heart pounding. He quickly snatched it up and dashed forward, but the precious seconds lost had put them behind the other teams. Alex did his absolute best in the final leg, pushing himself to the limit, but they ultimately crossed the finish line in fourth place, narrowly missing out on the medals. The disappointment on the team’s faces was obvious. Tim felt as if a heavy weight had settled on his shoulders. He couldn’t bring himself to look at his teammates, consumed by guilt. He replayed the moment of the dropped baton over and over in his mind, each time wishing he could turn back the clock. Mark, usually the most talkative, was silent, his eyes downcast(低垂的). Jack shook his head in frustration, muttering something under his breath. Alex just looked at the ground, his shoulders low. Without a word, they started walking back to the changing room, leaving Tim alone on the track, filled with self-blame. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Just then, Mark Jack, and Alex appeared. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Tim knew his mistake had cost the team dearly. He couldn’t help but blame himself for the failure. As he sat on the edge of the track, tears of frustration welled up in his eyes. He thought about all the hard work and dedication they had put into training, and how it had all seemed to be in vain because of his one moment of carelessness. He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done. Just then, Mark, Jack, and Alex appeared. They walked up to Tim and sat down beside him. Mark placed a comforting hand on Tim’s shoulder and said, “Hey, it’s not your fault. These things happen. We’re a team, and we all make mistakes.” Jack nodded in agreement, adding, “We didn’t lose because of you. We lost because we didn’t work together well enough in that moment. Let’s learn from this and come back stronger next time.” Alex smiled and patted Tim on the back, saying, “We’re still proud of you, and we know you’ll do better next time. We’re in this together.” 【解析】 【导语】本文以学校运动会的4×100米接力赛为背景，讲述了主人公Tim因失误导致团队失去奖牌机会的故事，展现了比赛中的紧张氛围以及失败后的自责与队友的支持，体现了团队精神和成长的重要性。 【详解】一、段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Tim知道他的失误让团队付出了沉重的代价。”可知，第一段可描写Tim内心的自责以及对比赛结果的反思。 ②由第二段首句内容“就在那时，Mark、Jack和Alex出现了。”可知，第二段可描写队友们对Tim的支持和鼓励，以及Tim的感悟。 二、续写线索：学校举办比赛——失误——自责——队友支持——感悟 三、词汇激活 行为类 ①责备：blame/reproach ②反思：reflect/contemplate ③安慰：comfort/console ④笑：smile/grin 情绪类 ①沮丧：frustration/disappointment ②安慰的：comforting/conciliative 【点睛】【高级句型1】He wondered if his teammates would ever forgive him, and if he would ever be able to make up for what he had done.
