2025—2026 学年高二下学期期末英语模拟卷（一） （2026新高考I卷风格 · 不含听力 · 满分120分） 满分：120 分　　考试时间：100 分钟 第一部分　阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Want to pick up a useful new skill this summer without ever leaving home? FutureSkills is a free online programme that helps students aged 12 to 18 learn the kind of skills that schools rarely have time to teach. From writing your first line of code to speaking with confidence, the skills on offer are ones you can use for life. Every session is taught live, so you can ask questions and get answers on the spot. Best of all, joining costs you nothing at all. Our courses. This term we offer four popular workshops: Everyday Coding, Public Speaking, Smart Money, and Digital Drawing. Each workshop meets once a week for six weeks, and a single session lasts about an hour. You are free to join more than one. Whatever your level, there is a workshop that will suit you. How it works. Lessons are led by friendly volunteers who actually work in these fields. You will be given small weekly tasks, but there are no exams and no marks at all — the aim is simply to enjoy learning something new. If you have to miss a class, a recording stays online for a week. That way, a busy week never has to mean a lesson lost. Signing up. Register on our website before 20 June. Places are limited, and the most popular workshops fill up quickly, so it is wise to sign up early. All you need is a computer or a phone and a quiet corner to listen in. No special software or expensive equipment is required. Still have questions? Send an email to hello@futureskills.org and a member of our team will reply within two days. We look forward to learning together with you. 21. Who is FutureSkills mainly intended for? A. Students aged twelve to eighteen. B. Adults looking for a new job. C. University teachers and tutors. D. Children under ten years old. 22. What do we know about the workshops? A. They all end with a written exam. B. Each runs weekly for about six weeks. C. They are taught by famous teachers. D. They are recorded but never shown live. 23. What should students do to take part? A. Pay a small course fee first. B. Pass an entrance interview. C. Register online before 20 June. D. Send two letters of support. B When Evelyn lost her hearing at the age of seven, the doctors were kind but clear: a life in music, they said, was now closed to her. For a girl who had loved to dance to every tune on the radio, the silence felt like the end of a dream. Music had filled her days, and now, it seemed, all of it had fallen silent. Yet Evelyn soon discovered that she had not really lost music at all. Standing barefoot on the wooden floor of her room, she found that she could feel the beat rising through her feet — the deep notes as a slow tremble, the high ones as a light flutter. Music, she realised, was not only something to be heard; it could also be felt with the whole body. From that day on, she practised barefoot, letting every song travel up from the floor into her bones. The road was far from smooth. Teachers turned her away, sure that a dancer who could not hear would never keep time. Evelyn practised for hours, watching the other dancers closely and trusting the vibrations beneath her feet. Slowly, she learned to move in perfect rhythm, and at last a small dance company agreed to take her in. Today Evelyn performs on stages around the country, and audiences are often astonished to learn that she dances without hearing a single note. On weekends she teaches deaf children, showing them how to sense a rhythm through the floor and how to let their bodies sing. Their shining faces, she says, mean more to her than any applause. Looking back, Evelyn no longer thinks of her deafness as something that was taken from her. It simply pushed her to listen in a different way. What others saw as an ending, she turned into a beginning — and in doing so, she discovered that there is always more than one way to feel the music of the world. 24. How does Evelyn experience music? A. By reading the words of each song. B. By turning the volume up very high. C. By watching videos of famous singers. D. By feeling its vibrations through her body. 25. What can we learn from paragraph 3? A. She succeeded through practice and effort. B. She quickly became a star with little effort. C. She gave up dancing for several years. D. She was welcomed by all the dance teachers. 26. Why does the writer mention the deaf children Evelyn teaches? A. To prove dancing is easy to learn. B. To show how she passes on hope to others. C. To explain why she stopped performing. D. To compare her with other teachers. 27. What is the main message of the text? A. Natural talent matters more than effort. B. Music should be heard, never felt at all. C. A weakness can become a new strength. D. Doctors are usually right about the future. C When we think of pollution, we usually picture dirty air or rivers full of rubbish. Noise rarely comes to mind. Yet the constant roar of traffic, machines and crowds is a kind of pollution too — one that is easy to ignore precisely because we cannot see it. Unlike a cloud of smoke, noise leaves no stain, and so it slips easily out of our attention. The harm, however, is real. Living with too much noise raises stress, disturbs sleep, and over the years can even damage the heart. Children who grow up near busy roads or airports often find it harder to concentrate and to learn. Nor are humans the only victims: birds struggle to hear one another over the din, and some sea animals, which rely on sound to find food, lose their way in waters filled with the noise of ships. What we cannot see, it turns out, can still do real harm. The good news is that noise can be managed. Trees, soft walls and special road surfaces can deaden a surprising amount of sound, while careful planning can keep the noisiest activities away from homes and schools. Some cities have even created quiet zones — parks and streets where engines are kept out and people can simply hear themselves think. Even small choices, like switching off a machine that is not needed, can add up to a calmer day. Of course, no one wants a silent world. The aim is not to remove every sound, but to cut the harmful, needless noise that wears us down without our noticing. Quiet, in other words, is not empty; it is something well worth protecting. A gentler soundscape is not a luxury; it is part of a healthy place to live. Perhaps the first step is simply to listen — to become aware of the noise around us, and of the quiet we have slowly lost. Once we truly notice a problem, we are far more likely to do something about it. 28. What point does the writer make in paragraph 1? A. Noise is less common than air pollution. B. Dirty rivers are the worst kind of pollution. C. People can easily see the harm of noise. D. Noise is a pollution we tend to overlook. 29. What does the underlined word "deaden" in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Reduce. B. Record. C. Welcome. D. Spread. 30. Why does the writer mention birds and sea animals? A. To prove animals make most of the noise. B. To show that noise harms wildlife too. C. To suggest people should keep more pets. D. To explain how animals find their food. 31. What does the writer suggest we do about noise? A. Try to remove every sound around us. B. Move all factories into the countryside. C. Notice it and design quieter places. D. Simply get used to living with noise. D Few creatures seem stranger to us than the octopus. It has eight arms, three hearts and blue blood, and it can change the colour of its skin in an instant. Yet behind this alien appearance lies a mind that scientists find truly remarkable. The more closely we look, the harder it becomes to dismiss the octopus as a simple sea creature. In laboratories, octopuses have learned to open screw-top jars to reach the food inside, and some have slipped out of their tanks at night to hunt in neighbouring ones before sneaking back. In the wild, certain octopuses collect empty coconut shells and carry them around to use as portable shelters — a clear example of using tools, something once thought to belong only to a few clever animals. Such behaviour suggests not blind instinct, but a real ability to plan ahead. What makes this intelligence so fascinating is how differently it is built. Unlike us, an octopus keeps most of its nerve cells not in a central brain but spread along its arms, so that each arm can almost think for itself. Having no backbone and only a short life, the octopus has clearly arrived at its cleverness by a path quite separate from our own. In other words, nature seems to have invented intelligence not once, but at least twice. This is exactly why researchers are so interested. The octopus reminds us that intelligence need not look like human intelligence at all. Studying such a different kind of mind may widen our understanding of what thinking really is, and even offer fresh ideas to those who design robots and artificial intelligence. If thinking can arise in a body so unlike ours, perhaps it can take many shapes we have yet to imagine. In the end, the octopus is humbling. It shows that the ability to learn, solve problems and adapt can appear in forms we would never expect — a reminder that, on this planet, there is more than one way to be smart. 32. What does paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Octopuses prefer to live inside jars. B. Octopuses are dangerous to other animals. C. Octopuses cannot survive in the wild. D. Octopuses can solve problems and use tools. 33. How is an octopus's intelligence different from ours? A. Most of its nerve cells lie along its arms. B. It keeps all its nerve cells in one brain. C. It depends entirely on its three hearts. D. It can think only when it changes colour. 34. Why are researchers so interested in the octopus? A. It proves humans are the cleverest species. B. It shows intelligence can take other forms. C. It helps people catch more sea animals. D. It lives far longer than other animals. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Most Dangerous Sea Animal. B. How to Keep an Octopus as a Pet. C. A Different Way to Be Smart. D. Why Animals Are Losing Their Homes. 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。 We all set goals — to read more, to exercise, to learn a language. Yet by the end of the year, many of these goals are quietly forgotten. ___36___ The problem is usually not a lack of effort, but the way the goals were set in the first place. Learning to set goals well, then, is a skill worth practising in itself. Make your goal clear and exact. ___37___ A vague wish like "get fit" is hard to act on, because you never quite know what to do today. Instead, decide to walk for twenty minutes after dinner. A clear goal tells you exactly what success looks like. ___38___ It is tempting to aim for something huge and impressive, but a goal that is too far out of reach soon feels hopeless. Choosing a smaller, realistic target keeps you moving and lets you enjoy small wins along the way. Each small success then becomes the fuel for the next. Write your goals down and check them often. ___39___ A goal kept only in your head is easy to ignore, while one written on paper, or set as a reminder on your phone, keeps gently pulling you back. Reviewing your progress also shows you how far you have come. Finally, be kind to yourself when you slip. ___40___ One missed day does not mean failure; what matters is that you start again. Reachable goals are built not on perfect days, but on patient, steady returns. In the end, the goals we reach are simply the ones we keep coming back to. A. Set a goal that is challenging but possible. B. So why do so many of our goals fail? C. A clear goal is far easier to follow than a fuzzy one. D. Seeing your goals keeps them alive in your mind. E. Nobody keeps every promise to themselves perfectly. F. The bigger your goal, the prouder you will feel. G. Goals are best kept secret from your friends. 第二部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（完形填空，共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandfather had practised Chinese calligraphy for more than fifty years. As a child, I often ___41___ him sitting at his desk, the brush moving smoothly across the paper. To me, writing a few characters with a brush looked perfectly ___42___ , and I was sure I could master it in no time. How hard, I thought, could a few simple strokes really be? So one afternoon I asked him to let me ___43___ . The brush, however, proved far ___44___ in my hand than it had looked. My lines came out crooked and ___45___ , nothing like the graceful strokes he made. Frustrated, I almost ___46___ after only a few minutes. My grandfather, however, only chuckled and shook his head. Calligraphy, he said gently, was not something that could be rushed. But my grandfather was endlessly ___47___ . Holding my hand in his, he guided the brush ___48___ across the page, telling me to feel the rhythm of each stroke. He asked me to ___49___ the same character dozens of times, until my wrist began to remember the movement on its own. There was no shortcut, he told me — only patience and practice. Day after day, I noticed my writing slowly ___50___ . The first time I produced a truly neat character, a wave of ___51___ rose in my chest. Calligraphy, my grandfather said with a smile, teaches a person ___52___ above all else. Now, whenever I pick up the brush, I feel strangely ___53___ inside. I have come to understand that what I practise is not merely handwriting, but a living ___54___ — one that, stroke by stroke, is being ___55___ from my grandfather's hands into mine. And every careful stroke, I now know, carries a little of his quiet wisdom. 41. A. watched B. forgot C. feared D. sold 42. A. boring B. simple C. strange D. wrong 43. A. refuse B. leave C. try D. sleep 44. A. easier B. faster C. cheaper D. harder 45. A. messy B. neat C. bright D. heavy 46. A. showed off B. gave up C. set off D. looked up 47. A. angry B. busy C. patient D. absent 48. A. quickly B. loudly C. secretly D. slowly 49. A. repeat B. change C. skip D. cancel 50. A. failing B. improving C. resting D. leaving 51. A. fear B. doubt C. pride D. anger 52. A. money B. luck C. speed D. patience 53. A. calm B. nervous C. tired D. afraid 54. A. problem B. tradition C. secret D. game 55. A. lost B. hidden C. passed D. wasted 第二节（语法填空，共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分） 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。 Peking Opera, ___56___ (know) as the national treasure of China, is one of the most famous traditional arts in the country. It first ___57___ (appear) more than two hundred years ago and has been loved by audiences ever since. It blends history, literature and music into a single art form. A performance of Peking Opera is a feast for the eyes and ears. Actors wear bright costumes and colourful face paintings, ___58___ tell the audience whether a character is honest, brave or evil. ___59___ (combine) singing, dancing and acrobatics, the art requires years of hard training. A skilled actor may spend a whole lifetime perfecting just a few roles. In the past, Peking Opera was performed mainly in teahouses and on open-air stages, and it was hugely popular ___60___ ordinary people. Today it ___61___ (bring) to a much wider public through television and the Internet, and it is now enjoyed by ___62___ (audience) of all ages. To help young people appreciate ___63___ (it) beauty, many schools have ___64___ (recent) begun to offer Peking Opera lessons. Protecting such a precious art is the duty of every generation, so that this ___65___ (live) tradition will never fade away. 第三部分　写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 你校英文报正在就“什么对一个人的成功最重要”征稿。请你就努力（effort）、机遇（opportunity）、天赋（talent）三者，按对成功的重要性排序并说明理由。 注意：1．词数80左右； 2．请按所给格式作答。 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Mr. Allen had taught English at our school for nearly forty years. To generations of students he was more than a teacher: patient, kind, and always ready to stay after class for anyone who was struggling. Many of us owed our love of English entirely to him. Now, at the end of this term, he was finally going to retire. The thought that we would soon say goodbye filled the class with a quiet sadness. He had been part of our school for so long that it was hard to picture the place without him. Our class wanted to give him a farewell he would never forget. One lunchtime, twenty of us crowded into an empty classroom and, in excited whispers, began to plan a surprise party. Lisa would bake a cake, Tom would prepare a slideshow of old class photos, and I was put in charge of collecting a thank-you message from every single student. We divided the jobs carefully, checking twice that nothing had been forgotten. For two weeks we worked in secret. It was not easy. We had to gather signatures without Mr. Allen noticing, decorate the room while he was at a meeting, and keep the whole plan hidden behind our most innocent smiles. More than once we nearly gave ourselves away, but somehow the secret held. Twice he almost walked into the decorated room too early, and our hearts nearly stopped. Keeping such a happy secret, we discovered, was harder than any homework. At last the day came. We told Mr. Allen that the headmaster needed to see him in Room 12 after his final lesson. As his footsteps approached the door, we switched off the lights, held our breath, and waited, our hearts pounding with excitement. In the darkness no one dared to make a sound, and the seconds seemed to stretch on forever. The moment Mr. Allen opened the door, we turned on the lights and shouted, "Surprise!" Looking at the cake, the photos and our smiling faces, Mr. Allen was too moved to speak for a while. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026 学年高二下学期期末英语模拟卷（一） （2026新高考I卷风格 · 不含听力 · 满分120分） 满分：120 分　　考试时间：100 分钟 第一部分　阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Want to pick up a useful new skill this summer without ever leaving home?

Noise is less common than air pollution. B. Dirty rivers are the worst kind of pollution. C. People can easily see the harm of noise. D. Noise is a pollution we tend to overlook. 【答案】D　【解析】根据第一段“a kind of pollution too — one that is easy to ignore precisely because we cannot see it”可知，作者指出噪音是一种常被忽视的污染。其余选项分析：并未说噪音比空气污染少见；没说脏河最严重；恰恰强调噪音之害“看不见”，均与原文相悖。故选D。 29.

Spread. 【答案】A　【解析】根据划线词处“Trees, soft walls and special road surfaces can deaden a surprising amount of sound”及全文治理噪音的语境可知，这些做法能“减弱、降低”声音，故 deaden 意为“减弱”。其余选项分析：record（录制）、welcome（欢迎）、spread（扩散）都与“降噪”的语境不符。故选A。 30.

It shows that the ability to learn, solve problems and adapt can appear in forms we would never expect — a reminder that, on this planet, there is more than one way to be smart. 【导语】本文是一篇科普说明文，介绍章鱼非凡而“另类”的智慧，指出智慧可以有与人类截然不同的形态，并由此引发对智能本质的思考。 32. What does paragraph 2 mainly show? A. Octopuses prefer to live inside jars. B. Octopuses are dangerous to other animals. C. Octopuses cannot survive in the wild. D. Octopuses can solve problems and use tools. 【答案】D　【解析】根据第二段开罐取食、夜间溜出捕食、用椰壳作庇护所（使用工具）等例子可知，章鱼能解决问题、使用工具。其余选项分析：并非偏爱住在罐里、对其他动物危险，也不是无法在野外生存，均与原文不符。故选D。 33. How is an octopus's intelligence different from ours? A. Most of its nerve cells lie along its arms. B. It keeps all its nerve cells in one brain. C. It depends entirely on its three hearts. D. It can think only when it changes colour. 【答案】A　【解析】根据第三段“keeps most of its nerve cells not in a central brain but spread along its arms”可知，章鱼大多数神经细胞分布在腕足上。其余选项分析：恰与“集中于一个大脑”相反；与三颗心脏、变色均无关，属曲解或无中生有。故选A。 34. Why are researchers so interested in the octopus? A. It proves humans are the cleverest species. B. It shows intelligence can take other forms. C. It helps people catch more sea animals. D. It lives far longer than other animals. 【答案】B　【解析】根据第四段“intelligence need not look like human intelligence at all”及有助于拓宽对“思维”的理解可知，研究者感兴趣是因为它表明智慧可以有截然不同的形态。其余选项分析：并非证明人类最聪明、帮人多捕海洋动物，原文还说章鱼寿命短，均与原文相悖。故选B。 35. What is the best title for the text? A. The Most Dangerous Sea Animal. B. How to Keep an Octopus as a Pet. C. A Different Way to Be Smart. D. Why Animals Are Losing Their Homes. 【答案】C　【解析】全文围绕章鱼“另类而非凡的智慧”及“智慧可有不同形态”展开，故最佳标题为“另一种聪明的方式”。其余选项分析：最危险的海洋动物、如何把章鱼当宠物、动物为何失去家园均与主旨无关或以偏概全。故选C。 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。 We all set goals — to read more, to exercise, to learn a language. Yet by the end of the year, many of these goals are quietly forgotten. ___36___ The problem is usually not a lack of effort, but the way the goals were set in the first place. Learning to set goals well, then, is a skill worth practising in itself. Make your goal clear and exact. ___37___ A vague wish like "get fit" is hard to act on, because you never quite know what to do today. Instead, decide to walk for twenty minutes after dinner. A clear goal tells you exactly what success looks like. ___38___ It is tempting to aim for something huge and impressive, but a goal that is too far out of reach soon feels hopeless. Choosing a smaller, realistic target keeps you moving and lets you enjoy small wins along the way. Each small success then becomes the fuel for the next. Write your goals down and check them often. ___39___ A goal kept only in your head is easy to ignore, while one written on paper, or set as a reminder on your phone, keeps gently pulling you back. Reviewing your progress also shows you how far you have come. Finally, be kind to yourself when you slip. ___40___ One missed day does not mean failure; what matters is that you start again. Reachable goals are built not on perfect days, but on patient, steady returns. In the end, the goals we reach are simply the ones we keep coming back to. A. Set a goal that is challenging but possible. B. So why do so many of our goals fail? C. A clear goal is far easier to follow than a fuzzy one. D. Seeing your goals keeps them alive in your mind. E. Nobody keeps every promise to themselves perfectly. F. The bigger your goal, the prouder you will feel. G. Goals are best kept secret from your friends. 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，介绍如何设定切实可行、能够实现的目标。 【答案】B　【解析】空前说目标常被遗忘，空后说问题在于设定方式。B 项“那么为什么这么多目标都失败了？”承上启下、引出下文，故选B项。 【答案】C　【解析】空前要求目标“清晰确切”，空后用“get fit”这一模糊愿望举例。C 项“清晰的目标远比模糊的好执行”与之呼应，故选C项。 【答案】A　【解析】段首空。空后说目标过大会让人绝望、应选较小可行的目标。A 项“设定有挑战但可实现的目标”作主题句，故选A项。 【答案】D　【解析】空前说把目标写下来并常检查，空后说只记在脑中易被忽视、写下来则不断提醒。D 项“看见目标能让它在脑中保持鲜活”衔接，故选D项。 【答案】E　【解析】空前说失误时要善待自己，空后说漏掉一天不算失败。E 项“没有人能完美地兑现对自己的每个承诺”给出理由，故选E项。 【干扰项】F、G 借用 bigger/proud、secret 等词似是而非：F“目标越大越自豪”与全文“目标过大易放弃、应设可行目标”的主张相悖；G“目标最好对朋友保密”与全文话题无关，放入任一空都逻辑不接，故排除。 第二部分　语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（完形填空，共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 My grandfather had practised Chinese calligraphy for more than fifty years. As a child, I often ___41___ him sitting at his desk, the brush moving smoothly across the paper. To me, writing a few characters with a brush looked perfectly ___42___ , and I was sure I could master it in no time. How hard, I thought, could a few simple strokes really be? So one afternoon I asked him to let me ___43___ . The brush, however, proved far ___44___ in my hand than it had looked. My lines came out crooked and ___45___ , nothing like the graceful strokes he made. Frustrated, I almost ___46___ after only a few minutes. My grandfather, however, only chuckled and shook his head. Calligraphy, he said gently, was not something that could be rushed. But my grandfather was endlessly ___47___ . Holding my hand in his, he guided the brush ___48___ across the page, telling me to feel the rhythm of each stroke. He asked me to ___49___ the same character dozens of times, until my wrist began to remember the movement on its own. There was no shortcut, he told me — only patience and practice. Day after day, I noticed my writing slowly ___50___ . The first time I produced a truly neat character, a wave of ___51___ rose in my chest. Calligraphy, my grandfather said with a smile, teaches a person ___52___ above all else. Now, whenever I pick up the brush, I feel strangely ___53___ inside. I have come to understand that what I practise is not merely handwriting, but a living ___54___ — one that, stroke by stroke, is being ___55___ from my grandfather's hands into mine. And every careful stroke, I now know, carries a little of his quiet wisdom. 41. A. watched B. forgot C. feared D. sold 42. A. boring B. simple C. strange D. wrong 43.

Effort comes first because it is the one thing fully within our control; without hard work, even the greatest gift is wasted. Opportunity ranks second, for a timely chance can open doors that effort alone cannot — yet such chances usually favour those who are already prepared. Talent, though helpful, matters least, since it sets only our starting point, not how far we finally go. In short, while all three play a part, it is steady effort that turns possibility into real achievement. 【导语】本篇书面表达是一篇开放思辨型投稿（参照2026年全国Ⅰ卷题型）。要求考生向校英文报投稿，就努力、机遇、天赋三者对成功的重要性排序并说明理由，体现价值判断与逻辑论证。 【详解】 1. 词汇积累： 　　排序：rank → put in order 　　在掌控之中：within our control → controllable 　　及时的：timely → well-timed 　　有利于、青睐：favour → benefit 　　成就：achievement → success 2. 句式拓展： 　　简单句变复合句 　　原句：Effort is the most important. 　　拓展句：If I had to rank effort, talent and opportunity by their importance to success, I would put effort first, opportunity second, and talent last. 【点睛】 【高分句型 1】If I had to rank effort, talent and opportunity by their importance to success, I would put effort first, opportunity second, and talent last.（if 引导虚拟条件句，主句用 would 表对应结果） 【高分句型 2】Talent, though helpful, matters least, since it sets only our starting point, not how far we finally go.（though 引导让步状语，since 引导原因状语从句） 第二节（满分25分） 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Mr. Allen had taught English at our school for nearly forty years. To generations of students he was more than a teacher: patient, kind, and always ready to stay after class for anyone who was struggling. Many of us owed our love of English entirely to him. Now, at the end of this term, he was finally going to retire. The thought that we would soon say goodbye filled the class with a quiet sadness. He had been part of our school for so long that it was hard to picture the place without him. Our class wanted to give him a farewell he would never forget. One lunchtime, twenty of us crowded into an empty classroom and, in excited whispers, began to plan a surprise party. Lisa would bake a cake, Tom would prepare a slideshow of old class photos, and I was put in charge of collecting a thank-you message from every single student. We divided the jobs carefully, checking twice that nothing had been forgotten. For two weeks we worked in secret. It was not easy. We had to gather signatures without Mr. Allen noticing, decorate the room while he was at a meeting, and keep the whole plan hidden behind our most innocent smiles. More than once we nearly gave ourselves away, but somehow the secret held. Twice he almost walked into the decorated room too early, and our hearts nearly stopped. Keeping such a happy secret, we discovered, was harder than any homework. At last the day came. We told Mr. Allen that the headmaster needed to see him in Room 12 after his final lesson. As his footsteps approached the door, we switched off the lights, held our breath, and waited, our hearts pounding with excitement. In the darkness no one dared to make a sound, and the seconds seemed to stretch on forever. 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述学生们瞒着即将退休的 Mr. Allen 精心筹备一场惊喜告别会、表达感恩的暖心故事。 【写作思路】第一段紧承所给首句，铺展惊喜现场：开灯欢呼后，依次呈现气球与横幅、蛋糕、老照片幻灯片以及逐条朗读的感谢留言，并刻画老师起初的惊讶；第二段承接第二个首句，写老师被深深打动后的回应与临别赠言，学生献上留言册，最后以师生道别、师恩长存收束。注意：保持第三人称与一般过去时一致，情感层层递进；做到第一段结尾与第二段开头衔接、第二段结尾呼应“感恩师长”的全文主旨。 Possible Version（约170词） The moment Mr. Allen opened the door, we turned on the lights and shouted, "Surprise!" For a second he simply stood there, blinking at the bright room, the colourful balloons and the banner that read "Thank You, Mr. Allen." Then a wide smile spread across his face. Lisa carried in the cake while Tom started the slideshow, and old photos of our class filled the screen, drawing waves of laughter and cheers. One by one, we read out the messages we had secretly collected, each a small memory of how he had helped us. The classroom we had decorated so carefully had never felt so warm. Looking at the cake, the photos and our smiling faces, Mr. Allen was too moved to speak for a while. When he finally found his voice, he told us that of all his years of teaching, this was the gift he would treasure most. He said that seeing us grow into kind and confident young people was the true reward of his life. We presented him with the booklet of our messages, and he held it close, promising to read it again and again. As we walked him out of the school that evening, we knew that although he was leaving, the lessons he had given us would stay with us forever. 【详解】 1. 词汇积累： 　　感动的：moved → touched 　　珍惜：treasure → cherish 　　传播、绽放：spread → break out 　　奖赏：reward → return 　　答应、保证：promise → assure 2. 句式拓展： 　　简单句变复合句 　　原句：Mr. Allen was too moved to speak. 　　拓展句：Looking at the cake, the photos and our smiling faces, Mr. Allen was too moved to speak for a while. 【点睛】 【高分句型 1】When he finally found his voice, he told us that of all his years of teaching, this was the gift he would treasure most.（when 引导时间状语从句，that 引导宾语从句） 【高分句型 2】As we walked him out of the school that evening, we knew that although he was leaving, the lessons he had given us would stay with us forever.（as 引导时间状语从句，although 引导让步状语从句，多重复合句） 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
