B For former Chinese women’s soccer player Zhao Lina, her story began not under stadium lights but in the dusty schoolyard of Jinshajiang Road Primary School in Shanghai’s Putuo District. Now 33, she still remembers joining the school soccer team in first grade — the tallest among all her teammates. The coach lined everyone up by height, and Zhao stood at the end of the line. Impressed by her height, the coach decided she should be a goalkeeper. But she never imagined one day she would step onto the international stage. In the beginning, her only fan was her father. A decade later, she stood on the world stage at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wearing the red jersey of China. She then felt the pure joy of playing, with the thunderous cheers from the packed stadium forever unforgettable. One of her most unforgettable matches came in 2022, when China made a stunning 3-2 comeback against South Korea to reclaim the AFC Women’s Asian Cup after 16 years. It was the perfect high point and a year later, Zhao announced her retirement, closing an 18-year career. After retiring from Team China in 2023, former goalkeeper Zhao Lina never truly walked away from the soccer field. Instead, she found a new mission — bringing soccer to children in China’s rural areas. Through her soccer charity program, Zhao plans to visit 100 remote schools, build fields, donate equipment, organize leagues and train local physical education teachers to coach. In the 10 months since her retirement, she has already helped build four soccer fields and deliver equipment to 40 schools. Alongside her charity work, Zhao has also stepped into journalism. She served as a reporter for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. “Life isn’t a straight line,” she reflects. “Even athletes have peaks and declines. But when the next rise comes — if you’ve prepared enough and give your all — you’ll surpass your last peak. That’s what life and soccer have taught me.” 24. How was Zhao Lina first chosen to be a goalkeeper? A. She was recognized for her natural talent. B. She was encouraged by her father. C. She was drawn to the position herself. D. She was selected because of her height. 25. What is the goal of Zhao Lina’s charity work? A. To encourage more PE teachers to play soccer. B. To improve the soccer conditions in rural areas. C. To help soccer team of China win more matches. D. To keep herself away from the soccer field. 26. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By comparing her early and later life. B. By listing the challenges from her career. C. By following the time order of her life. D. By showing the procedures of her work. 27. Which saying best describes Zhao Lina’s story? A. Every ending leads to a new beginning. B. Life begins at the end of comfort zone. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Failure is the mother of success. C What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “dress for success”? Perhaps it’s a no-brainer for you — wearing a nice suit so others will take you more seriously. But the truth is more complex (复杂的) and important. How we present ourselves doesn’t just change how others see us. It also changes how we see ourselves — and that can influence how we act. A recent study shows this point well. When people believe that they look better, they act more kindly. They even donate twice as much to the poor as those who do not feel the same way. The researchers find that when people feel good about their appearance, they believe more people will notice them. This encourages them toward more generous (慷慨的) and helpful social behavior. This new finding mirrors what scientists call the “halo effect”: it is common for people to believe that those who look good also have other positive qualities. In this way, they are more likely to be treated kindly or trusted. However, the new discovery is that this effect also works inwardly. When we feel we look good, we don’t just benefit from others’ positive opinions. We start to behave in ways that strengthen them. This change can begin early, as research shows even children are kinder to those who are “nice-looking”. In short, our self-image and our generosity are closely connected. This can create a positive feedback loop (反馈循环): feeling good about our appearance builds up our confidence, which shapes our behavior in a positive way. In turn, the positive feedback from others strengthens our positive self-image. Therefore, dressing for success is not just about being seen by others. It is about becoming the kind of person who encourages kindness — both in yourself and in others. 28. Why does the author mention wearing a nice suit in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of good behavior. B. To show the features of a formal lifestyle. C. To suggest a way of achieving success. D. To lead to more effects of dressing well. 29. How does feeling good about appearance affect a person according to the study? A. It promotes kind social acts. B. It improves job performance. C. It shapes one’s character. D. It causes self-centered behavior. 30. What is the new discovery about the “halo effect”? A. Its effect is self-directed. B. Its power works on others. C. Its basis is others’ kindness. D. Its influence is always strong. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Dress for Confidence: Feel Good. B. Dress for Confidence: Impress Others. C. Dress for Success: Gain Respect. D. Dress for Success: Encourage Kindness. D Besides its known benefits for mental health and connecting with nature, the hobby of birdwatching may have another surprising advantage: It can cause helpful physical changes in the human brain. A recent brain science study from McGill University shows that the deep mental effort needed for this activity has a real effect on our brain’s structure. The research compared brain scans and thinking tests between expert birdwatchers, who could name hundreds of birds by sight and sound, and beginners. When doing bird identification (识别) tasks, the experts were not only faster and more correct, but their brains also showed much higher activity in specific areas. These areas are linked to advanced visual processing (seeing fine details), strong and focused attention (ignoring distractions), and working memory (holding and comparing information). Importantly, brain structure scans showed that these key areas were thicker and had better connections in the expert group. These findings suggest that the specialized, demanding practice of birding — which needs quickly putting together small visual clues, sounds, and learned knowledge — does not just use the brain but actively strengthen and improve its wiring, like exercise builds muscle. This is important for brain health as we age. The study found that the normal loss of brain tissue and function with age was much less obvious in the expert birdwatchers. Researchers think that such long-term, complex mental activity helps build a “cognitive reserve (认知保护)”, making the brain stronger and better at dealing with damage over time. “Our work shows that doing a challenging, skill-based hobby for life is linked to a protective effect for the brain,” explained lead scientist Dr. Robert Zatorre. The idea likely applies to other activities needing deep focus and learning, like playing music or learning a language. So, spending time watching and identifying birds is much more than a relaxing pastime. It is an active investment in long-term brain health, building a stronger and more agile mind that can better handle the natural changes that come with getting older. 32. What did the brain scans of expert birdwatchers show compared to beginners? A. Their brains were less active in some certain areas. B. Their brains were smaller in size but more efficient. C. They used different senses when identifying birds. D. Their certain brain areas were better connected. 33. Why does the author mention “like exercise builds muscle” in paragraph 3? A. To explain how the brain strengthens by birdwatching. B. To show how birdwatching benefits people’s muscles. C. To prove that birdwatching is physically tiring. D. To compare birdwatching with physical activities. 34. What does the underlined word “agile” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Sharp. B. Anxious. C. Strict. D. Solid. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. What to Expect from Birdwatching. B. Effective Ways of Keeping Brain Healthy. C. How Birdwatching Reshapes the Brain. D. Birdwatching — A Challenging Hobby. 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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Build a Slow-Down Routine In today’s fast-paced world, taking time to relax and recharge is crucial for your mental and physical well-being. ____36____ Check out some ideas for how you can add healthy habits to your daily life.

Every spring, crowds line the streets, bringing everyone together to celebrate courage and hard work. For as many years as I could remember, I had only ever stood on the sidelines, clapping and cheering as the runners passed by. I called myself a proud “couch potato” and had long believed that my own athletic days were firmly behind me. I was comfortable with my routine, never imagining I would ever join the runners myself. But this year was different. My daughter, Lily, looked at me one evening and gently issued a challenge. “Just try the 5K, Dad,” she said softly. “It’s not the full marathon, and I’ll run right beside you the whole way.” I hesitated at first, feeling both nervous and unconfident. Still, I reluctantly accepted her challenge, determined not to let her down. The training turned out to be far tougher than I had expected. My lungs burned with every deep breath, and my legs felt so heavy that they seemed like lead. There were countless early mornings when I woke up tired and sore, wanting only to roll over and quit. Yet every time, Lily was already waiting by the door, her shoes tied and her smile bright. Her quiet persistence and faith in me pushed me to keep going, one step at a time. Finally, race day arrived. The atmosphere was electric, filled with excitement, music, and the murmur of the crowd. We started slowly and steadily, careful not to rush. At the 3-kilometer mark, a steep, unforgiving hill loomed directly ahead. Halfway up, my strength began to fail. My breath came in short, painful gasps, and I had to slow to a shaky walk. “Go on without me, Lily,” I wheezed. “Don’t let me slow you down.” 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。 Lily stopped immediately and turned around to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Side by side, we crossed the finish line together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025～2026学年度第二学期期中学情检测 高一英语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上指定位置，在其他位置作答一律无效。 3．本卷满分为150分，考试时间为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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What did the woman eat this morning?

Now 33, she still remembers joining the school soccer team in first grade — the tallest among all her teammates. The coach lined everyone up by height, and Zhao stood at the end of the line. Impressed by her height, the coach decided she should be a goalkeeper. But she never imagined one day she would step onto the international stage. In the beginning, her only fan was her father. A decade later, she stood on the world stage at the 2015 FIFA Women’s World Cup, wearing the red jersey of China. She then felt the pure joy of playing, with the thunderous cheers from the packed stadium forever unforgettable. One of her most unforgettable matches came in 2022, when China made a stunning 3-2 comeback against South Korea to reclaim the AFC Women’s Asian Cup after 16 years. It was the perfect high point and a year later, Zhao announced her retirement, closing an 18-year career. After retiring from Team China in 2023, former goalkeeper Zhao Lina never truly walked away from the soccer field. Instead, she found a new mission — bringing soccer to children in China’s rural areas. Through her soccer charity program, Zhao plans to visit 100 remote schools, build fields, donate equipment, organize leagues and train local physical education teachers to coach. In the 10 months since her retirement, she has already helped build four soccer fields and deliver equipment to 40 schools. Alongside her charity work, Zhao has also stepped into journalism. She served as a reporter for the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. “Life isn’t a straight line,” she reflects. “Even athletes have peaks and declines. But when the next rise comes — if you’ve prepared enough and give your all — you’ll surpass your last peak. That’s what life and soccer have taught me.” 24. How was Zhao Lina first chosen to be a goalkeeper? A. She was recognized for her natural talent. B. She was encouraged by her father. C. She was drawn to the position herself. D. She was selected because of her height. 25. What is the goal of Zhao Lina’s charity work? A. To encourage more PE teachers to play soccer. B. To improve the soccer conditions in rural areas. C. To help soccer team of China win more matches. D. To keep herself away from the soccer field. 26. How is the passage mainly organized? A. By comparing her early and later life. B. By listing the challenges from her career. C. By following the time order of her life. D. By showing the procedures of her work. 27. Which saying best describes Zhao Lina’s story? A. Every ending leads to a new beginning. B. Life begins at the end of comfort zone. C. Time and tide wait for no man. D. Failure is the mother of success. 【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了前中国女足门将赵丽娜从校园起步、登上国际赛场、退役后投身乡村足球公益和新闻事业的人生历程，展现了她“每一段结束都是新的开始”的人生态度。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The coach lined everyone up by height, and Zhao stood at the end of the line. Impressed by her height, the coach decided she should be a goalkeeper. (教练按身高排队，赵丽娜站在队伍最后。教练对她的身高印象深刻，决定让她当守门员。)”可知，她是因为身高被选为守门员的。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“Instead, she found a new mission — bringing soccer to children in China's rural areas. Through her soccer charity program, Zhao plans to visit 100 remote schools, build fields, donate equipment, organize leagues and train local physical education teachers to coach. (她找到了新使命——把足球带给中国农村的孩子。通过她的足球慈善项目，赵丽娜计划走访100所偏远学校，建造球场，捐赠装备，组织联赛并培训当地体育老师执教。)”可知，她的慈善工作旨在改善农村地区的足球条件。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章从赵丽娜一年级加入校队讲起，依次叙述了她的成长、2015年世界杯、2022年亚洲杯、2023年退役及退役后的公益和新闻工作，是按照时间顺序展开的。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““Life isn’t a straight line,” she reflects. “Even athletes have peaks and declines. But when the next rise comes — if you’ve prepared enough and give your all — you’ll surpass your last peak. That’s what life and soccer have taught me.”. (“人生并非一条直线，”她沉思道。“即便是运动员，也会经历巅峰期与低谷期。但当下一次攀登来临之际——只要你准备充分并全力以赴——你定能超越上一次的巅峰。这就是生活和足球带给我的启示。”)”可知，她的故事体现了每一个结束都是新的开始。 C What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “dress for success”? Perhaps it’s a no-brainer for you — wearing a nice suit so others will take you more seriously. But the truth is more complex (复杂的) and important. How we present ourselves doesn’t just change how others see us. It also changes how we see ourselves — and that can influence how we act. A recent study shows this point well. When people believe that they look better, they act more kindly. They even donate twice as much to the poor as those who do not feel the same way. The researchers find that when people feel good about their appearance, they believe more people will notice them. This encourages them toward more generous (慷慨的) and helpful social behavior. This new finding mirrors what scientists call the “halo effect”: it is common for people to believe that those who look good also have other positive qualities. In this way, they are more likely to be treated kindly or trusted. However, the new discovery is that this effect also works inwardly. When we feel we look good, we don’t just benefit from others’ positive opinions. We start to behave in ways that strengthen them. This change can begin early, as research shows even children are kinder to those who are “nice-looking”. In short, our self-image and our generosity are closely connected. This can create a positive feedback loop (反馈循环): feeling good about our appearance builds up our confidence, which shapes our behavior in a positive way. In turn, the positive feedback from others strengthens our positive self-image. Therefore, dressing for success is not just about being seen by others. It is about becoming the kind of person who encourages kindness — both in yourself and in others. 28. Why does the author mention wearing a nice suit in Paragraph 1? A. To stress the importance of good behavior. B. To show the features of a formal lifestyle. C. To suggest a way of achieving success. D. To lead to more effects of dressing well. 29. How does feeling good about appearance affect a person according to the study? A. It promotes kind social acts. B. It improves job performance. C. It shapes one’s character. D. It causes self-centered behavior. 30. What is the new discovery about the “halo effect”? A. Its effect is self-directed. B. Its power works on others. C. Its basis is others’ kindness. D. Its influence is always strong. 31. What is the best title for the passage? A. Dress for Confidence: Feel Good. B. Dress for Confidence: Impress Others. C. Dress for Success: Gain Respect. D. Dress for Success: Encourage Kindness. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】文章探讨“为成功着装”的深层意义：良好形象不仅影响他人看法，还通过内心作用让人更友善慷慨，形成积极循环，真正意义在于激发自身与他人的善意。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“What comes to mind when you hear the phrase “dress for success”? Perhaps it’s a no-brainer for you — wearing a nice suit so others will take you more seriously. But the truth is more complex (复杂的) and important. How we present ourselves doesn’t just change how others see us. It also changes how we see ourselves — and that can influence how we act.(当你听到“穿着得体以求成功”这句话时，脑海中会浮现出什么画面呢？对于你来说，这可能是个显而易见的道理——穿上一套得体的西装，以便让别人更重视你。但事实却要复杂得多，也更为重要。我们如何展现自己不仅会影响别人对我们的看法，还会改变我们对自己的看法——而这又会影响我们的行为方式)”可知，作者在第1段中提及穿一套漂亮的西装是为了以此引入一个新的话题。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When people believe that they look better, they act more kindly. They even donate twice as much to the poor as those who do not feel the same way. The researchers find that when people feel good about their appearance, they believe more people will notice them. This encourages them toward more generous (慷慨的) and helpful social behavior.(当人们认为自己外表更出众时，他们的行为也会变得更加友善。他们甚至向贫困者捐赠的金额是那些没有这种想法的人的两倍。研究人员发现，当人们对自己的外表感到满意时，他们就会认为会有更多的人注意到自己。这促使他们展现出更慷慨和乐于助人的社交行为)”可知，根据最近的研究，对自己外貌感到满意会促进友善的社交行为。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“However, the new discovery is that this effect also works inwardly. When we feel we look good, we don’t just benefit from others’ positive opinions. We start to behave in ways that strengthen them. This change can begin early, as research shows even children are kinder to those who are “nice-looking”.(然而，新的发现是，这种效应在内心层面也同样起作用。当我们觉得自己外表出众时，我们不仅会受益于他人对我们的正面评价。我们还会开始以更能强化这种感觉的方式行事。这种变化可能在很早的时候就开始了，因为研究表明，就连儿童也会更友善地对待那些“长相出众”的人)”可知，“光环效应”的新发现是其影响是自我导向的。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“But the truth is more complex (复杂的) and important. How we present ourselves doesn’t just change how others see us. It also changes how we see ourselves — and that can influence how we act.(但事实却要复杂得多，也更为重要。我们如何展现自己不仅会影响别人对我们的看法，还会改变我们对自己的看法——而这又会影响我们的行为方式)”结合文章探讨“为成功着装”的深层意义：良好形象不仅影响他人看法，还通过内心作用让人更友善慷慨，形成积极循环，真正意义在于激发自身与他人的善意。可知，D选项“穿着得体：鼓励友善”最符合文章标题。 D Besides its known benefits for mental health and connecting with nature, the hobby of birdwatching may have another surprising advantage: It can cause helpful physical changes in the human brain. A recent brain science study from McGill University shows that the deep mental effort needed for this activity has a real effect on our brain’s structure. The research compared brain scans and thinking tests between expert birdwatchers, who could name hundreds of birds by sight and sound, and beginners. When doing bird identification (识别) tasks, the experts were not only faster and more correct, but their brains also showed much higher activity in specific areas. These areas are linked to advanced visual processing (seeing fine details), strong and focused attention (ignoring distractions), and working memory (holding and comparing information). Importantly, brain structure scans showed that these key areas were thicker and had better connections in the expert group. These findings suggest that the specialized, demanding practice of birding — which needs quickly putting together small visual clues, sounds, and learned knowledge — does not just use the brain but actively strengthen and improve its wiring, like exercise builds muscle. This is important for brain health as we age. The study found that the normal loss of brain tissue and function with age was much less obvious in the expert birdwatchers. Researchers think that such long-term, complex mental activity helps build a “cognitive reserve (认知保护)”, making the brain stronger and better at dealing with damage over time. “Our work shows that doing a challenging, skill-based hobby for life is linked to a protective effect for the brain,” explained lead scientist Dr. Robert Zatorre. The idea likely applies to other activities needing deep focus and learning, like playing music or learning a language. So, spending time watching and identifying birds is much more than a relaxing pastime. It is an active investment in long-term brain health, building a stronger and more agile mind that can better handle the natural changes that come with getting older. 32. What did the brain scans of expert birdwatchers show compared to beginners? A. Their brains were less active in some certain areas. B. Their brains were smaller in size but more efficient. C. They used different senses when identifying birds. D. Their certain brain areas were better connected. 33. Why does the author mention “like exercise builds muscle” in paragraph 3? A. To explain how the brain strengthens by birdwatching. B. To show how birdwatching benefits people’s muscles. C. To prove that birdwatching is physically tiring. D. To compare birdwatching with physical activities. 34. What does the underlined word “agile” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Sharp. B. Anxious. C. Strict. D. Solid. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. What to Expect from Birdwatching. B. Effective Ways of Keeping Brain Healthy. C. How Birdwatching Reshapes the Brain. D. Birdwatching — A Challenging Hobby. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了观鸟这一爱好对大脑的积极影响。研究表明，观鸟不仅能锻炼视觉处理、注意力和工作记忆等脑区，还能使这些脑区的结构更厚、连接更好，从而构建“认知储备”，减缓大脑老化，是对长期脑健康的主动投资。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“When doing bird identification (识别) tasks, the experts were not only faster and more correct, but their brains also showed much higher activity in specific areas. These areas are linked to advanced visual processing (seeing fine details), strong and focused attention (ignoring distractions), and working memory (holding and comparing information). Importantly, brain structure scans showed that these key areas were thicker and had better connections in the expert group. (在执行鸟类识别任务时，专家不仅反应更快、准确率更高，其大脑特定区域的活动水平也显著增强。这些功能区域与高级视觉处理（识别精细细节）、强而集中的注意力（忽略干扰因素）以及工作记忆（存储和比较信息）密切相关。值得注意的是，脑结构扫描显示，在专家组中这些关键区域的厚度更大且神经连接更为紧密。)”可知，与初学者相比，专家观鸟者的特定脑区连接更好。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“These findings suggest that the specialized, demanding practice of birding...does not just use the brain but actively strengthen and improve its wiring, like exercise builds muscle. (这些发现表明，观鸟这种需要快速整合视觉线索、声音和已有知识的专门且高要求的练习，不仅在使用大脑，还在主动加强和改善其连接，就像锻炼能增长肌肉一样。)”可知，作者用“锻炼增长肌肉”来类比，是为了解释观鸟如何强化大脑。 【34题详解】 词句猜测题。根据最后一段“It is an active investment in long-term brain health, building a stronger and more agile mind that can better handle the natural changes that come with getting older. (这是对长期脑健康的主动投资，能塑造一个更强壮、更agile的大脑，更好地应对衰老带来的自然变化。)”可知，agile与stronger并列，修饰mind，且后文说能更好地应对变化，说明该词意为“敏锐的、灵活的”，与sharp意思相近。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章围绕观鸟对大脑结构和功能的积极改变展开，从脑区活动增强、结构变厚到构建认知储备、减缓老化，核心在于观鸟如何重塑大脑，所以C选项“观鸟如何重塑大脑”适合作标题。 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，并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to Build a Slow-Down Routine In today’s fast-paced world, taking time to relax and recharge is crucial for your mental and physical well-being. ____36____ Check out some ideas for how you can add healthy habits to your daily life.

Every spring, crowds line the streets, bringing everyone together to celebrate courage and hard work. For as many years as I could remember, I had only ever stood on the sidelines, clapping and cheering as the runners passed by. I called myself a proud “couch potato” and had long believed that my own athletic days were firmly behind me. I was comfortable with my routine, never imagining I would ever join the runners myself. But this year was different. My daughter, Lily, looked at me one evening and gently issued a challenge. “Just try the 5K, Dad,” she said softly. “It’s not the full marathon, and I’ll run right beside you the whole way.” I hesitated at first, feeling both nervous and unconfident. Still, I reluctantly accepted her challenge, determined not to let her down. The training turned out to be far tougher than I had expected. My lungs burned with every deep breath, and my legs felt so heavy that they seemed like lead. There were countless early mornings when I woke up tired and sore, wanting only to roll over and quit. Yet every time, Lily was already waiting by the door, her shoes tied and her smile bright. Her quiet persistence and faith in me pushed me to keep going, one step at a time. Finally, race day arrived. The atmosphere was electric, filled with excitement, music, and the murmur of the crowd. We started slowly and steadily, careful not to rush. At the 3-kilometer mark, a steep, unforgiving hill loomed directly ahead. Halfway up, my strength began to fail. My breath came in short, painful gasps, and I had to slow to a shaky walk. “Go on without me, Lily,” I wheezed. “Don’t let me slow you down.” 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。 Lily stopped immediately and turned around to me. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Side by side, we crossed the finish line together. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Lily stopped immediately and turned around to me. I saw her eyes filled with warmth and determination. Without saying a word, she came to hold my hands tightly. Her face was calm and encouraging, not a sign of impatience. “We started together, so we’ll finish together,” she said softly and confidently. Lily did not rush or pull me forward. Instead, she walked calmly beside me until I regained my breath. Her quiet support gave me fresh strength, and I decided to keep moving forward with her. Side by side, we crossed the finish line together. I was breathing heavily, my legs weak, but my heart was full of pride. Lily looked up at me, her face bright with a big, joyful smile. I felt moved and proud, not because of the race, but because of her. At that moment, I realized I had not only finished the race, but gained courage and the deepest love from my daughter.
