Objectives ·To encourage and develop the reading skills ·To cultivate an appreciation of books ·To facilitate exposure to highly rated literature and foster continuing education for adults Organization The National Reading Competition is organized annually over a five-month period, April to August. The preliminary round for children is held at individual service points/libraries. Following this, the top performers compete at the county level. County champions are then selected for each of the three age groups: 6–8, 9–11 and 12–14. In 1999, a category for adults was introduced, involving persons who were 15 years of age and over. Then in 2006, the adult category was modified and now features two age groups:15–20, and 21 years and over. Testing Testing at each stage includes a mix of oral and written elements such as letters, book reviews, and puzzles. The competitors’ ability to read, understand and interpret set books or excerpts (节选) of books is the main determinant for the selection of winners. The adult section of the competition is run concurrently with the children’s section and emphasizes the reading of mainly West Indian literature. The final stage begins in mid-July and culminates (达到顶点) in the National Reading Competition Quiz Finals held at TVJ Studios at the end of August. One national champion emerges from each category after these very competitive sections are completed. They are the individuals who, when all scores are counted, gain the highest marks in their respective age groups. 1. How many age groups are there in the competition? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 2. What should an adult competitor focus on in the competition? A. Becoming a county champion. B. Reading West Indian literature. C. Reading highly rated literature. D. Learning about Jamaican history. 3. When does the final stage of the competition start? A. In April. B. In May. C. In July. D. In August. B “Do you remember why we proceeded with this study, Anirban?” my PhD supervisor asked. “What was the goal of these experiments?” I had painstakingly conducted 4 months of work, melting soil, extracting microbial genomic DNA, quantifying hydrocarbons, and washing endless piles of glassware. But faced with these seemingly straightforward questions, I was speechless. Amid the routine work and technical details, I had lost sight of how my work fitted in with the research hypothesis and the overall system we were investigating. This wasn’t the first time I had lost track of my research goals. In earlier endeavors, including my master’s degree and research internships, I had focused on running as many experiments, performing as many meta-analyses, and generating as many results as I could. I welcomed details and grew accustomed to getting lost in them. When I felt lost, I instead assumed my problem was lack of technical expertise. But my PhD supervisor’s comment helped me realize my detail-loving approach alone would no longer cut it. I realized that one solution might be as simple as slowing down a bit. I started taking periodic breaks from running experiments to reflect on the “so what” of the studies I was conducting. I also learned tremendously from two postdocs, who helped me balance top-down and bottom-up thinking by connecting experiment planning and data analysis with overall study objective. They helped me develop the habit of always asking ahead of time how a specific experiment or analysis would help answer the hypothesis. This led to more structured, focused thinking about subsequent steps. With time, I began to complement my love of details with an ability to evaluate the how and why of research tasks and the relevance of my work beyond the experiments, data, and analyses. I was still getting lost in the details, but I was now able to understand why. I have realized that big-picture thinking is one of the many adaptable, universal skills one can get from a PhD. And I’m happy my mentors (导师) and managers pushed me to develop it. 4. What used to be the author’s primary issue during the research? A. Lack of technical expertise. B. Losing sight of the research goals. C. Difficulty in extracting genomic DNA. D. Failing to answer the supervisor’s questions. 5. What’s the function of paragraph 2? A. To provide more examples. B. To state the author’s good work habits. C. To offer a solution to the author’s issue. D. To show the author’s educational background. 6. What strategy did the author use to approach his problem? A. Focusing on details more carefully. B. Increasing the number of experiments. C. Speeding up the experimental process. D. Taking breaks to engage in self-reflection. 7. What does the author want to tell us from his own experiences? A. Mentors are essential for providing technical expertise. B. Top-down thinking is better for research than bottom-up thinking. C. Big-picture thinking helps you stay focused on the overall objective. D. Self-reflection is important when you encounter setbacks in research. C Maybe a hug from a parent no longer solves problems for a teen as it did in their childhood. Yes, teens are often facing greater challenges than the generations before them. But when it comes to teenage mental health, adults can do a lot to help, according to new data. The bad-tempered, withdrawn stereotype many people have about teens isn’t the full picture, according to the research. Of the preteens and teens who were surveyed, 45% said they felt stressed the day before, 38% felt anxious and 23% felt sad, according to the data. But nearly all of them — 94% — said they also felt happy for much of that day. The survey found that 1 in 6 parents had a hard time comforting and communicating with their teens. Fortunately, the teens told adults exactly what they needed in this survey as well. “What I hope that families can take from these results is that kids have ups at least as much as they have downs, and kids have terrific, really healthy ways of managing their own emotions,” said Lisa Damour, author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers:Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents. Among the top coping strategies preteens and teens listed were playing video games, listening to music, cuddling a pet, talking about their feelings and connecting with friends. Social media and other screen-based entertainment are often talked about in terms of the risks, but they can be an effective way to distract oneself, Damour said. “As long as it’s done in moderation, distraction is a perfectly effective way to handle a feeling,” she added. The thing preteens and teens going through something tough want most from their parents is to be listened to, the data showed. That was followed closely by giving them space and taking their feelings seriously. Physical comfort and advice lagged behind. But that can be hard to do when parents so badly want their children to feel better. Often adults find themselves jumping right to a solution. “In my experience as a psychologist, if they want advice, they’ll ask for it, or we should ask them if it’s what they want,” Damour said. 8. What can we know from the research? A. Teens often face greater challenges than preteens. B. A hug is surely beneficial for teens’ mental health. C. Some parents feel powerless to relate to their children. D. Parents nowadays pay too much attention to their children. 9. Why are Damour and her book mentioned in the text? A. To expand the popularity of Damour and her book. B. To justify kids’ ways of managing their own emotions. C. To enhance the trustworthiness of the data given above. D. To increase the credibility of the advice presented in the text. 10. What role does social media play in teens’ emotional coping according to Damour? A. It’s entirely harmful. B. It serves as a mild distraction. C. It acts as the main stressor. D. It provides positive feedback. 11. What is the top strategy for parents when faced with their teens’ trouble according to the text? A. Listening. B. Comforting. C. Giving advice. D. Leaving them alone. D Humans make decisions using statistical information every day. For example, we weigh the likelihood of various factors when deciding what to bet in card games. However, humans aren’t alone in using statistical inferences in decision-making. Until now, human cousins like monkeys and also some birds have been identified as the only animals to show evidence of reasoning based on probability and statistics, which requires advanced mental power. These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often associated with high intelligence. Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and doubted that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could perform statistical reasoning as well. Giraffes were an ideal choice. But researchers had a concern: Statistical reasoning is quite distinct from basic counting. Giraffes have already exhibited an ability to perform quantity discrimination (辨别), being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number, which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their doubt. So the research team settled on a special approach where they started with a mixture of carrots the animal desires along with zucchinis they dislike and varied the number and proportion (比例) of both items. The researchers placed different proportions of carrots and zucchinis into two plastic containers to test whether the giraffes could predict a higher likelihood of receiving a carrot. Each test consisted of 20 trials in which a researcher selected a piece of food from each container without showing it to the giraffes. The giraffes then touched the hand they wanted to eat from, using only the information they had from the containers. In the first test, where one container had 20 carrots and 80 zucchinis and another had 80 carrots and 20 zucchinis, each giraffe chose the hand that had a higher probability of holding a carrot at least 17 times. In the following two tests, the proportion of carrots and zucchinis was changed. Yet again the giraffes chose correctly. The combined results indicated that the researchers’ idea held water. 12. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Statistical reasoning is unique to humans. B. Brain size is positively related to intelligence. C. Animals with larger bodies have larger brains. D. Large animals are smart enough to perform reasoning. 13. What does the underlined word “oppugned” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Declared. B. Explained. C. Questioned. D. Understood. 14. Why did the research team introduce a special approach to the study? A. To test the giraffes’ ability to perform basic counting. B. To observe the giraffes’ behavior in different situations. C. To rule out the effect of giraffes’ quantity discrimination. D. To determine whether giraffes prefer carrots or zucchinis. 15. What do the test results show? A. Giraffes are capable of statistical reasoning. B. Giraffes’ sense of proportion is relatively limited. C. Giraffes rely on visual information to make food choices. D. Giraffes’ food preferences can be changed through training. 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。 Psychologists have long been interested in what sets successful people apart from the rest of us.

That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again. Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision! Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声). At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged. “That’s horrible!” I shouted 1oudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked? Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “1ecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration. 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。 “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高二英语 (120分钟 150分) 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,并标在试卷的相应位置。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。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.How many students failed the exam?

I welcomed details and grew accustomed to getting lost in them. When I felt lost, I instead assumed my problem was lack of technical expertise. But my PhD supervisor’s comment helped me realize my detail-loving approach alone would no longer cut it. I realized that one solution might be as simple as slowing down a bit. I started taking periodic breaks from running experiments to reflect on the “so what” of the studies I was conducting. I also learned tremendously from two postdocs, who helped me balance top-down and bottom-up thinking by connecting experiment planning and data analysis with overall study objective. They helped me develop the habit of always asking ahead of time how a specific experiment or analysis would help answer the hypothesis. This led to more structured, focused thinking about subsequent steps. With time, I began to complement my love of details with an ability to evaluate the how and why of research tasks and the relevance of my work beyond the experiments, data, and analyses. I was still getting lost in the details, but I was now able to understand why. I have realized that big-picture thinking is one of the many adaptable, universal skills one can get from a PhD. And I’m happy my mentors (导师) and managers pushed me to develop it. 4. What used to be the author’s primary issue during the research? A. Lack of technical expertise. B. Losing sight of the research goals. C. Difficulty in extracting genomic DNA. D. Failing to answer the supervisor’s questions. 5. What’s the function of paragraph 2? A. To provide more examples. B.

Big-picture thinking helps you stay focused on the overall objective. D. Self-reflection is important when you encounter setbacks in research. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. C 【解析】 【导语】文章讲述了作者在研究中曾因迷失目标而苦恼，通过放慢节奏、反思研究意义和向导师学习，培养了宏观思考能力，最终实现了目标。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“Amid the routine work and technical details, I had lost sight of how my work fitted in with the research hypothesis and the overall system we were investigating.(在日常工作和技术细节中，我忽略了我的工作如何与研究假设和我们正在调查的整体系统相吻合。)”以及第二段中的“This wasn’t the first time I had lost track of my research goals.(这不是我第一次失去对研究目标的追踪。)”可知，作者过去在研究中的主要问题是忽略了研究目标。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“In earlier endeavors, including my master's degree and research internships, I had focused on running as many experiments, performing as many meta-analyses, and generating as many results as I could.(在之前的努力中，包括我的硕士学位和研究实习，我专注于进行尽可能多的实验，进行尽可能多的荟萃分析，并产生尽可能多的结果。)”可知，第二段是对第一段所提到的问题提供更多的例子来加以说明，进一步论证作者确实经常迷失在细节中而忽略研究目标。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“I realized that one solution might be as simple as slowing down a bit. I started taking periodic breaks from running experiments to reflect on the ‘so what’ of the studies I was conducting.(我意识到，一个解决方案可能就是稍微放慢节奏。我开始定期暂停实验，停下来思考自己所做研究的实际意义。)”可知，作者通过定期休息来进行自我反思。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“I have realized that big-picture thinking is one of the many adaptable, universal skills one can get from a PhD.(我已经意识到，大局观思维是从博士学位中可以获得的许多适应性强的、通用的技能之一。)”以及全文内容可知，作者通过自己的亲身经历告诉我们：大局观思维有助于你始终聚焦于整体目标，而不是迷失在细节中。 C Maybe a hug from a parent no longer solves problems for a teen as it did in their childhood. Yes, teens are often facing greater challenges than the generations before them. But when it comes to teenage mental health, adults can do a lot to help, according to new data. The bad-tempered, withdrawn stereotype many people have about teens isn’t the full picture, according to the research. Of the preteens and teens who were surveyed, 45% said they felt stressed the day before, 38% felt anxious and 23% felt sad, according to the data. But nearly all of them — 94% — said they also felt happy for much of that day. The survey found that 1 in 6 parents had a hard time comforting and communicating with their teens. Fortunately, the teens told adults exactly what they needed in this survey as well. “What I hope that families can take from these results is that kids have ups at least as much as they have downs, and kids have terrific, really healthy ways of managing their own emotions,” said Lisa Damour, author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers:Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents. Among the top coping strategies preteens and teens listed were playing video games, listening to music, cuddling a pet, talking about their feelings and connecting with friends. Social media and other screen-based entertainment are often talked about in terms of the risks, but they can be an effective way to distract oneself, Damour said. “As long as it’s done in moderation, distraction is a perfectly effective way to handle a feeling,” she added. The thing preteens and teens going through something tough want most from their parents is to be listened to, the data showed. That was followed closely by giving them space and taking their feelings seriously. Physical comfort and advice lagged behind. But that can be hard to do when parents so badly want their children to feel better. Often adults find themselves jumping right to a solution. “In my experience as a psychologist, if they want advice, they’ll ask for it, or we should ask them if it’s what they want,” Damour said. 8. What can we know from the research? A. Teens often face greater challenges than preteens. B. A hug is surely beneficial for teens’ mental health. C. Some parents feel powerless to relate to their children. D. Parents nowadays pay too much attention to their children. 9. Why are Damour and her book mentioned in the text? A. To expand the popularity of Damour and her book. B. To justify kids’ ways of managing their own emotions. C. To enhance the trustworthiness of the data given above. D. To increase the credibility of the advice presented in the text. 10. What role does social media play in teens’ emotional coping according to Damour? A. It’s entirely harmful. B. It serves as a mild distraction. C. It acts as the main stressor. D. It provides positive feedback. 11. What is the top strategy for parents when faced with their teens’ trouble according to the text? A. Listening. B. Comforting. C. Giving advice. D. Leaving them alone. 【答案】8. C 9. D 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕青少年心理健康相关调查数据展开，介绍青少年真实情绪状态、自我调节方式，并给出父母与青春期孩子沟通相处的专业建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The survey found that 1 in 6 parents had a hard time comforting and communicating with their teens. (调查发现，六分之一的父母很难安抚青少年孩子、难以和他们沟通。)”可知，部分父母在和孩子沟通相处时感到无力。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““What I hope that families can take from these results is that kids have ups at least as much as they have downs, and kids have terrific, really healthy ways of managing their own emotions,” said Lisa Damour, author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers:Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents. (《The Emotional Lives of Teenagers:Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents》一书的作者莉萨・达穆尔表示：“我希望各位家长能从这些研究结果中明白，孩子快乐的时刻至少和低落的时刻一样多，而且他们拥有非常出色、健康的方式来调节自身情绪。”)”以及后文达穆尔给出的多条专业育儿建议可知，文中引用她及其著作，是为了让文中给出的建议更有可信度、更权威。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Social media and other screen-based entertainment are often talked about in terms of the risks, but they can be an effective way to distract oneself, Damour said. “As long as it’s done in moderation, distraction is a perfectly effective way to handle a feeling,” she added. (达穆尔称，人们谈及社交媒体以及其他电子屏幕类娱乐产品时，往往只关注其潜在危害，但它们其实是一种有效的情绪转移方式。她补充道：“只要适度使用，借助分心来平复情绪是完全可行、效果不错的办法。”)”可知，社交媒体可以起到适度转移情绪、分散烦恼的作用。 【11题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“The thing preteens and teens going through something tough want most from their parents is to be listened to, the data showed. (数据显示，正遭遇困境的少年与青少年最希望从父母那里得到的，就是被认真倾听。)”可知，父母应对孩子烦恼的首要方式是倾听。 D Humans make decisions using statistical information every day. For example, we weigh the likelihood of various factors when deciding what to bet in card games. However, humans aren’t alone in using statistical inferences in decision-making. Until now, human cousins like monkeys and also some birds have been identified as the only animals to show evidence of reasoning based on probability and statistics, which requires advanced mental power. These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often associated with high intelligence. Researchers from the University of Barcelona oppugned such statements and doubted that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could perform statistical reasoning as well. Giraffes were an ideal choice. But researchers had a concern: Statistical reasoning is quite distinct from basic counting. Giraffes have already exhibited an ability to perform quantity discrimination (辨别), being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number, which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their doubt. So the research team settled on a special approach where they started with a mixture of carrots the animal desires along with zucchinis they dislike and varied the number and proportion (比例) of both items. The researchers placed different proportions of carrots and zucchinis into two plastic containers to test whether the giraffes could predict a higher likelihood of receiving a carrot. Each test consisted of 20 trials in which a researcher selected a piece of food from each container without showing it to the giraffes. The giraffes then touched the hand they wanted to eat from, using only the information they had from the containers. In the first test, where one container had 20 carrots and 80 zucchinis and another had 80 carrots and 20 zucchinis, each giraffe chose the hand that had a higher probability of holding a carrot at least 17 times. In the following two tests, the proportion of carrots and zucchinis was changed. Yet again the giraffes chose correctly. The combined results indicated that the researchers’ idea held water. 12. What can be inferred from paragraph 2? A. Statistical reasoning is unique to humans. B. Brain size is positively related to intelligence. C. Animals with larger bodies have larger brains. D. Large animals are smart enough to perform reasoning. 13. What does the underlined word “oppugned” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Declared. B. Explained. C. Questioned. D. Understood. 14. Why did the research team introduce a special approach to the study? A. To test the giraffes’ ability to perform basic counting. B. To observe the giraffes’ behavior in different situations. C. To rule out the effect of giraffes’ quantity discrimination. D. To determine whether giraffes prefer carrots or zucchinis. 15. What do the test results show? A. Giraffes are capable of statistical reasoning. B. Giraffes’ sense of proportion is relatively limited. C. Giraffes rely on visual information to make food choices. D. Giraffes’ food preferences can be changed through training. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了巴塞罗那大学研究人员通过实验证实长颈鹿具备统计推理能力，挑战了大脑大小与智能关系的传统观点。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“These animals have large brains relative to their body size, which is often associated with high intelligence.(这些动物的大脑相对于其体型较大，这通常与高智商相关联。)”可知，从第二段可以推断出大脑大小与智力呈正相关。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段中的划线词后面的句子“doubted that an animal with a small brain relative to its body size could perform statistical reasoning as well(怀疑一个大脑相对于体型较小的动物也能进行统计推理)”可知，巴塞罗那大学的研究人员对之前的说法持怀疑态度，此处信息与前文构成并列，因此划线词意为“质疑、反对”，与C选项“Questioned.(质疑)”意思相近。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Giraffes have already exhibited an ability to perform quantity discrimination (辨别), being able to tell a larger number of items from a smaller number, which poses a challenge for the researchers to confirm their doubt.(长颈鹿已经展现出进行数量辨别的能力，能够区分较多和较少的物品，这对研究人员验证他们的怀疑构成了挑战。)”以及第五段“So the research team settled on a special approach where they started with a mixture of carrots the animal desires along with zucchinis they dislike and varied the number and proportion (比例) of both items.(因此，研究团队采用了一种特殊的方法，他们用动物喜欢的胡萝卜和它们不喜欢的西葫芦的混合物开始，并改变了两种物品的数量和比例。)”可知，研究团队引入特殊方法是为了排除长颈鹿数量辨别能力的影响，从而确认它们是否真的在进行统计推理。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中的“each giraffe chose the hand that had a higher probability of holding a carrot at least 17 times(每只长颈鹿至少17次选择了更有可能拿着胡萝卜的那只手)”以及“The combined results indicated that the researchers' idea held water.(综合结果表明研究人员的想法站得住脚。)”可知，测试结果表明长颈鹿能够进行统计推理。 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。 Psychologists have long been interested in what sets successful people apart from the rest of us.

That afternoon, the hot sun was shining brightly, making the tree leaves almost burn and making people’s bodies seem to be on fire. Having nothing interesting to do at home, I decided to go to the pool to enjoy the coolness instead of going swimming. The reason was simple — I still couldn’t swim. I was impatient, and I always failed to do something and suffered losses. So the swimming lesson was put off again and again. Upon arriving at the gym’s pool, I was greeted by a lively scene. Some people just jumped into the water, with hands entering first and the body following in a smooth motion. Some were kicking their legs rhythmically below the surface. All were happy. That was infectious, and I couldn’t help but feel deep admiration. Then I made a decision! Taking a deep breath, I followed their example, closing my eyes and jumping into the “vast water” with a plop (扑通声). At this moment, my head was pointing to the ground and my feet to the sky. When I “plopped” to the bottom, my whole body was swinging hard and my hands and feet lost their ability to feel. I just felt water rushing towards me, and my nose was filled with water. It was very terrible. Suddenly, I was hit by something. I struggled out of the light blue water bit by bit as if being dragged. “That’s horrible!” I shouted 1oudly, and while I was complaining, I suddenly realized that I couldn’t swim in the first place, so why should I be shocked? Just when I decided to stay away from water, someone gently patted my shoulder and said, “Don’t be discouraged, little girl. Look, swimming requires...” The lady introduced herself as Allison. She gave me a “1ecture” on how to hold my breath, how to kick gently, and how to start with floating with the help of a swimming ring, being patient while giving me a demonstration. 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。 “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Version 1: “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. Her words echoed in my mind, and I found myself nodding in agreement. After all, I had come here with a purpose — to learn how to swim. So why give up now? With renewed determination, I took a deep breath and prepared to give it another go. This time, I focused on her instructions and tried to mimic her movements as closely as possible. Surprisingly, I was able to stay afloat for a few seconds longer than before. Progress, however small, was still progress. As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I didn’t feel defeated or discouraged. Instead, I felt a sense of accomplishment and pride. After all, I had taken the first step towards overcoming my fear of water and learning a new skill. And even though I wasn’t quite there yet, I knew that with practice and patience, I would eventually get it. Besides, today had been more than just about learning how to swim. It had also been about finding the courage to face my fears and trying something new. And for that, I was grateful to Allison and the encouragement she had given me. Version 2: “Why not try one more time?” said Allison. She smiled at me encouragingly, her eyes filled with warmth and confidence. “You can do it, girl. I know it seems scary, but with the right techniques and some practice, you’ll be swimming like a fish in no time.” She handed me a swimming ring and gently guided me back to the shallow end of the pool. Together, we began the slow process of teaching me to float and then, eventually, to swim. As the day drew to a close, I still could not swim very well. But I had made progress, and that was what mattered. I could now float comfortably with the help of the swimming ring, and my kicks were becoming more coordinated. Allison praised me for my efforts and told me to keep practicing. She knew that with time and dedication, I would overcome my fears and learn to swim. And so, with a renewed sense of determination, I bid farewell to the pool that day, knowing that my journey to becoming a confident swimmer had just begun. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述作者在这个炎热的夏季我决定去游泳池享受凉爽，被游泳池的热闹景象所感染，决定去学习游泳，当跳进水里的时候作者感到了恐惧，在作者决定放弃的时候，一位叫艾利森的女士鼓励作者不要放弃并教作者如何游泳。 【详解】①由第一段首句内容“‘为什么不再试一次呢?’艾利森说。”可知，本段可描写作者决定继续尝试，按照艾利森所教的方法、模仿她的动作继续学习游泳。 ②由第二段首句内容“当这一天接近尾声时，我仍然不能很好地游泳。”可知，本段可以描写作者尽管没有很好学会游泳，但是感到自豪，因为作者能够鼓起勇气面对恐惧，尝试新事物。 2. 续写线索：决定继续——反复练习——有所进步——并不气馁——收获与感悟——感谢鼓励 3. 词类激活 行为类 ①克服：overcome/get over ②放弃：give up/quit ③面对，正视：face/confront 情绪类 ①感到沮丧、泄气：feel discouraged/feel frustrated ②感激：grateful/thankful 【点睛】【高分句型1】After all, I had taken the first step towards overcoming my fear of water and learning a new skill. (运用了动名词短语作宾语) 【高分句型2】And for that, I was grateful to Allison and the encouragement she had given me.
