B I have always felt most comfortable in the classroom, and I enjoy the recognition from family and teachers for doing well in a job. Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. Throughout my life, I wanted to learn more than I wanted to be in a bunch of extracurriculars. My academic journey continued at a community college, where I joined the student newspaper. In the newsroom, I discovered an interesting, fast-paced world that allowed me to never stop learning. It was just what I had expected. Now my transfer (转学) to Drake University for a journalism degree was a no-brainer. It was exciting to see my future become clear, but I never pictured the shock waves headed my way. The campus phenomenon known as “Drake Busy” was completely unexpected. The term describes the idea that constant busyness is the main indicator of college success. Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers were. I saw students trying to balance multiple jobs and organizations alongside schoolwork. As a student who used to be confident in class, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and fueled my anxiety. I spent my first term struggling with doubts about my worthiness. My anxious thoughts tricked my mind into believing lies like “You’re not good enough.” A part of my mind realized those thoughts were not true, but that sensible voice was a whisper compared to the shouts of doubt. As I struggled with this inner conflict every day, I realized that it simply took time to overcome these negative thoughts. In time, I recognized that my experience as a transfer student was different but valuable. The outsider perspective helped me handle “Drake Busy”. I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. I wanted to shake them and say, “Why do this to yourself?” Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own way. The pressure didn’t disappear, but my need to give in to it did. I realized that my worth was not determined by the number of meetings on my calendar, but by the real satisfaction I felt in my work. On the days I managed to balance my ambition with my peace of mind, I felt most inspired. I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you. 4. Before entering Drake University, the author ________. A. adopted a relaxing lifestyle B. performed well academically C. struggled to choose a major D. longed to become a teacher 5. How did the author feel within the first week at Drake University? A. Hopeful. B. Relaxed. C. Regretful. D. Unaccustomed. 6. What does the author think of the “Drake Busy” lifestyle? A. It lowers students’ learning efficiency. B. It indicates students’ future success. C. It threatens students’ well-being. D. It erases students’ self-doubt. 7. What message does the passage tell? A. Your own pace matters. B. Outsiders rarely win. C. Busyness equals worthiness. D. Your anxiety drives you forward. C A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduce dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state. 8. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”? A. The damage has been done. B. The rangers’ work is efficient. C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely. 9. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A. A shortage of food supplies. B. A shift in animal behavior. C. A decrease in bacterial species. D. An increase in conflicts between animals. 10. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 11. It is conveyed in this passage that we should ______. A. encourage wildlife protection B. promote national park tourism C. leave no trace in the wild D. restore ecological damage D New Year’s gifts may contain more surprises than usual this year, as children open presents that can talk back. Toymakers in China have declared 2025 the year of artificial intelligence (AI) and are producing robots and teddies that can teach, play and tell stories. Older children, meanwhile, are glued to viral AI videos and AI-enhanced games. In school, many are being taught with materials created with tools like ChatGPT. Some are even learning alongside chatbot-assistants. In work and play, AI is remaking the very nature of childhood. AI promises every child the kind of upbringing previously available only to the rich, with private assistants, personalised courses and tailored entertainment. Children can listen to songs composed for them, read stories in which they star, play video games that adapt to their skill level and have chatbot friends cheering them on. A childhood fit for a king could become universal. Yet this future is filled with both opportunities and hidden traps: a tailored upbringing may lead to loneliness and isolation. What’s more, as their subjects often find out, it can create adults who are ill-equipped for real life. As AI changes childhood for better and for worse, society must rethink the business of growing up. Being brought up by robots has advantages. Tech firms are already showing how AI can enhance learning, especially where teachers and materials are scarce. Early trials have shown it improves language skills significantly. AI assistants free students from one-size-fits-all classes, where bright pupils grow bored and struggling ones fall behind; AI can even rewrite complex content into cartoons or songs for 8-year-old learners. Yet there are well-publicised risks in letting children loose on an evolving technology. Toys can go off the rails; children can easily misuse AI. Worse still, the technology quickly learns what its master likes and shows more of it. One-sided relationships with chatbots present a similar risk. AI companions that never criticise, nor share feelings of their own, are a poor preparation for dealing with imperfect humans. Some basic counter-measures are urgent. Parents should think twice before entrusting their child to a machine; chatbots should have age restrictions; However, the longer-term challenge is to think deeply about how to preserve the socialisation that AI could take out of children’s lives. Schools are the best place to do this. They should take advantage of personalised teaching where it is proven to work. But they must also redouble their efforts to teach things that a robot can’t: to debate, to disagree and to get along with — perhaps even to appreciate — people who are not as sycophantic (阿谀) as a chatbot. 12. Why are several examples cited in paragraph 1? A. To label 2025 as the first year of AI. B. To demonstrate AI’s widespread existence. C. To emphasize academic and leisure activities. D. To exhibit the technological advances AI brings. 13. What does the author think of the AI-supported childhood? A. It limits children’s range of choices. B. It may cause drawbacks in adulthood. C. It is only available to the privileged class. D. It enables children to become kings in the future. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Improving chatbots’ emotional ability. B. Setting AI usage rules for children. C. Protecting kids’ real-life interaction skills. D. Balancing AI and children’s social skills. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. AI & Kids’ Growth: A Bright Future Within Reach B. AI’s Influence on Kids: Negative Impacts on Childhood C. AI and Childhood: Transformation with Pros and Cons D. Children and AI Tech: An Indispensable Daily Companion 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 The Library’s Hidden Treasure Need a quiet place to study or a little guidance with your research?

Every year, we’d throw a combined birthday party, and seventh grade felt extra special — our moms finally agreed we could invite our classmates. We settled on a “Discover the Pyramids” theme, spending weeks crafting hieroglyphic (象形文字的) decorations and planning mummy wrap contests. As we wrote names on the invitation list, my mom leaned over my shoulder. “What about John?” she asked softly. John had transferred to our class a few months earlier, his math and science grades far outshining everyone else. But he was a quiet loner, never joining group activities, and he wore the same pair of brown corduroy (灯芯绒的) pants to school every single day. “Mom, he can’t even afford a costume,” I frowned, a surge of guilt welling up in me. My family wasn’t wealthy, but my mom was a master at bargain hunting — I’d never had to repeat an outfit. Mom’s brows wrinkled as she walked away to answer her office phone. The next afternoon, Nellie and I were cutting gold paper into pyramid shapes when Mom handed me an envelope. Inside was a gift certificate to our favorite department store, enough to buy several new outfits. “Nellie’s mom and I thought you two could give this to John,” she said before heading back to work. Nellie and I stared at the certificate in awe. “We can’t just hand it to him — that’d shame him,” Nellie said firmly. I nodded, thinking of how John would shrink into himself if we openly offered charity. We talked over ideas — slipping it into his desk, asking the teacher to pass it along — but none felt right. Just as I was about to suggest another plan, Nellie’s eyes lit up. “I’ve got an idea,” she said, snatching the envelope and bouncing on her heels. 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。 She giggled and whispered in my ears, “Let’s have a grand prize game.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ John’s hand shot up before anyone else, his answer precise and quick. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第二学期期末考试 2028届高一英语试题 （考试时间120分钟，满分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.

Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. Throughout my life, I wanted to learn more than I wanted to be in a bunch of extracurriculars. My academic journey continued at a community college, where I joined the student newspaper. In the newsroom, I discovered an interesting, fast-paced world that allowed me to never stop learning. It was just what I had expected. Now my transfer (转学) to Drake University for a journalism degree was a no-brainer. It was exciting to see my future become clear, but I never pictured the shock waves headed my way. The campus phenomenon known as “Drake Busy” was completely unexpected. The term describes the idea that constant busyness is the main indicator of college success. Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers were. I saw students trying to balance multiple jobs and organizations alongside schoolwork. As a student who used to be confident in class, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and fueled my anxiety. I spent my first term struggling with doubts about my worthiness. My anxious thoughts tricked my mind into believing lies like “You’re not good enough.” A part of my mind realized those thoughts were not true, but that sensible voice was a whisper compared to the shouts of doubt. As I struggled with this inner conflict every day, I realized that it simply took time to overcome these negative thoughts. In time, I recognized that my experience as a transfer student was different but valuable. The outsider perspective helped me handle “Drake Busy”. I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. I wanted to shake them and say, “Why do this to yourself?” Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own way. The pressure didn’t disappear, but my need to give in to it did. I realized that my worth was not determined by the number of meetings on my calendar, but by the real satisfaction I felt in my work. On the days I managed to balance my ambition with my peace of mind, I felt most inspired. I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you. 4. Before entering Drake University, the author ________. A. adopted a relaxing lifestyle B. performed well academically C. struggled to choose a major D. longed to become a teacher 5. How did the author feel within the first week at Drake University? A. Hopeful. B. Relaxed. C. Regretful. D. Unaccustomed. 6. What does the author think of the “Drake Busy” lifestyle? A. It lowers students’ learning efficiency. B. It indicates students’ future success. C. It threatens students’ well-being. D. It erases students’ self-doubt. 7. What message does the passage tell? A. Your own pace matters. B. Outsiders rarely win. C. Busyness equals worthiness. D. Your anxiety drives you forward. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述的是作者从社区大学转学到德雷克大学后，面对“德雷克忙碌”文化带来的压力，最终找到自我节奏、重新定义成功的心路历程。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Although I was a high achiever, I was not a student who joined every club. (虽然我是一个成绩优异的学生，但我并不是一个参加所有社团的学生。)”可知，在进入德雷克大学之前，作者学业表现优异。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Within the first week, I felt heavy pressure to be active in all the ways my peers were. (在第一周内，我感到巨大的压力，要以同伴们的方式积极参与各种活动。)”以及“As a student who used to be confident in class, I felt this new standard threatened my identity and fueled my anxiety. (作为一个曾经在课堂上自信的学生，我感到这种新标准威胁到了我的身份认同，并加剧了我的焦虑。)”可知，作者在德雷克大学的第一周感到不适应。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“I watched people trying to do too much at the expense of their well-being. (我看到人们试图做太多事情，以牺牲自己的健康为代价。)”可知，作者认为“德雷克忙碌”的生活方式威胁着学生的健康。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Instead of fighting the current, I eventually learned to swim in my own way. (我不再与潮流抗争，最终学会了以自己的方式游泳。)”以及“I discovered that: true success is defined internally, not by the noise around you. (我发现：真正的成功是由内心定义的，而不是由周围的喧嚣定义的。)”可知，文章传达的信息是自己的节奏很重要。 C A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. “Things in the damp cave get wet quickly,” says park guide Ashley. The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. “But that can be all it takes,” says Ashley. “I’m sure some crickets got a bit of the snack.” Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. “When you look at the numbers, it’s incredible,” says Watts, head of the Leave No Trace Center in Colorado, an organization aimed at minimizing human impact on nature. Food waste takes a long time to break down, especially in certain areas. “It takes much longer for an apple core to rot in a desert than in a forest,” says Blye, a teacher at the University of Utah. Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.” Biological waste is also problematic. Dog waste brings new bacteria into the ecosystem and scares away deer. Meanwhile, human waste and toilet paper introduce dangerous bacteria into water sources. In national parks, trails are designed to avoid sensitive areas. Stepping off the trail, even for a quick photo, can scare wildlife away. Impacts from many visitors result in long-term damage to nature and wildlife. But people don’t think of that when they see the perfect photo opportunity. “It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion (侵蚀) and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state. 8. What does Ashley mean by “But that can be all it takes.”? A. The damage has been done. B. The rangers’ work is efficient. C. The cleanup takes a long time. D. The pollution has spread widely. 9. What is a result of foreign waste in public lands? A. A shortage of food supplies. B. A shift in animal behavior. C. A decrease in bacterial species. D. An increase in conflicts between animals. 10. Why does the writer mention wildflowers in paragraph 5? A. To praise their benefits to desert life. B. To highlight our ignorance of wildlife. C. To stress their significance for photography. D. To show our unawareness of nature’s sensitivity. 11. It is conveyed in this passage that we should ______. A. encourage wildlife protection B. promote national park tourism C. leave no trace in the wild D. restore ecological damage 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人类活动，特别是游客在自然保护区的不当行为，对自然环境造成的负面影响。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第一段“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. This cave is almost cut off from the outside world, so introducing anything foreign can be harmful. (在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴生态系统。这个洞穴几乎与外界隔绝，因此引入任何外来物质都可能带来危害)”和“The snack attracts tiny organisms, causing unwanted growth. Soon, small animals like crickets and spiders came to eat, spreading the pollution. Rangers found the bag within hours. (这种零食会吸引微小生物，导致不必要的生长。很快，蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物前来觅食，从而传播了污染。公园管理员在几小时内就发现了这个袋子)”可知，一袋薯片掉落在洞穴里，虽然护林员在几小时内就发现了薯片，但是在此之前薯片已经吸引了微小生物，导致了不必要的生物生长，蟋蟀和蜘蛛等小动物也跑来觅食并扩散了污染。所以Ashley说“But that can be all it takes. ”意思是损害已经造成了。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. Bears who taste garbage and become a threat to humans may have to be put down. “Bears can get used to unnatural food in three weeks,” says Watts. “Everyone loses in this case.”(留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，并改变它们的行为，有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果。尝到过垃圾味道并对人类构成威胁的熊可能不得不被杀死。“熊能在三周内习惯非自然的食物，”Watts说。“在这种情况下，大家都输了。”)”可知，在公共土地上留下的外来垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，进而改变它们的行为，有时还会带来灾难性的后果，比如尝到垃圾味道的熊会对人类构成威胁。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““It’s just such a hard thing to resist,” says Blye. The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. “It’s easy to think, oh, there’s wildflowers over there. I shouldn’t step on that,” says Blye, but these tiny ecosystems full of microscopic organisms essential to desert life provide many benefits, including reducing the risk of erosion （侵蚀） and helping absorb rainfall, and can take hundreds of years to return to their original state.(“这真的很难抗拒，”Blye说。敏感生态系统面临的风险并不明显。“人们很容易想，哦，那边有野花。我不应该踩到它们，”Blye说，但这些充满对沙漠生活至关重要的微生物的微小生态系统提供了许多好处，包括减少侵蚀的风险和帮助吸收降雨，而且可能需要数百年才能恢复到原始状态)”可知，作者提到野花是为了举例说明：人们可能知道不应该踩踏野花，但却没意识到野花所在的微小生态系统对沙漠至关重要，且恢复难度极大，即突出人们对自然敏感性的无知。故选D。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A dropped bag of chips disturbed a cave ecosystem in Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico. (在新墨西哥州的卡尔斯巴德洞穴国家公园，一袋掉落的薯片扰乱了洞穴生态系统)”、第二段“Over 500 million people visit American public lands each year, creating many chances to harm wild places. (每年有超过5亿人参观美国的公共土地，这为破坏野生环境提供了许多机会)”和第三段“Leaving waste introduces animals to an unnatural diet and changes their behavior with sometimes disastrous results. (留下垃圾会让动物接触到非自然的食物，并改变它们的行为，有时甚至会带来灾难性的后果)”以及第五段“The risk to sensitive ecosystems isn’t obvious. (敏感生态系统面临的风险并不明显)”可知，文章开篇以一袋薯片扰乱洞穴生态系统为例，接着讲述了食物垃圾、生物垃圾等人类在公共土地上留下的废弃物对生态系统的危害，如改变动物行为、引入有害细菌等，还提到游客踏出小径拍照等行为对自然和野生动物造成长期损害，强调了人类活动对自然环境的不良影响。所以文章传达的是我们应该在野外不留下痕迹。故选C。 D New Year’s gifts may contain more surprises than usual this year, as children open presents that can talk back. Toymakers in China have declared 2025 the year of artificial intelligence (AI) and are producing robots and teddies that can teach, play and tell stories. Older children, meanwhile, are glued to viral AI videos and AI-enhanced games. In school, many are being taught with materials created with tools like ChatGPT. Some are even learning alongside chatbot-assistants. In work and play, AI is remaking the very nature of childhood. AI promises every child the kind of upbringing previously available only to the rich, with private assistants, personalised courses and tailored entertainment. Children can listen to songs composed for them, read stories in which they star, play video games that adapt to their skill level and have chatbot friends cheering them on. A childhood fit for a king could become universal. Yet this future is filled with both opportunities and hidden traps: a tailored upbringing may lead to loneliness and isolation. What’s more, as their subjects often find out, it can create adults who are ill-equipped for real life. As AI changes childhood for better and for worse, society must rethink the business of growing up. Being brought up by robots has advantages. Tech firms are already showing how AI can enhance learning, especially where teachers and materials are scarce. Early trials have shown it improves language skills significantly. AI assistants free students from one-size-fits-all classes, where bright pupils grow bored and struggling ones fall behind; AI can even rewrite complex content into cartoons or songs for 8-year-old learners. Yet there are well-publicised risks in letting children loose on an evolving technology. Toys can go off the rails; children can easily misuse AI. Worse still, the technology quickly learns what its master likes and shows more of it. One-sided relationships with chatbots present a similar risk. AI companions that never criticise, nor share feelings of their own, are a poor preparation for dealing with imperfect humans. Some basic counter-measures are urgent. Parents should think twice before entrusting their child to a machine; chatbots should have age restrictions; However, the longer-term challenge is to think deeply about how to preserve the socialisation that AI could take out of children’s lives. Schools are the best place to do this. They should take advantage of personalised teaching where it is proven to work. But they must also redouble their efforts to teach things that a robot can’t: to debate, to disagree and to get along with — perhaps even to appreciate — people who are not as sycophantic (阿谀) as a chatbot. 12. Why are several examples cited in paragraph 1? A. To label 2025 as the first year of AI. B. To demonstrate AI’s widespread existence. C. To emphasize academic and leisure activities. D. To exhibit the technological advances AI brings. 13. What does the author think of the AI-supported childhood? A. It limits children’s range of choices. B. It may cause drawbacks in adulthood. C. It is only available to the privileged class. D. It enables children to become kings in the future. 14. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Improving chatbots’ emotional ability. B. Setting AI usage rules for children. C. Protecting kids’ real-life interaction skills. D. Balancing AI and children’s social skills. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. AI & Kids’ Growth: A Bright Future Within Reach B. AI’s Influence on Kids: Negative Impacts on Childhood C. AI and Childhood: Transformation with Pros and Cons D. Children and AI Tech: An Indispensable Daily Companion 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文围绕人工智能对当代童年的深刻影响展开，辩证分析其在学习、陪伴等方面的优势，以及引发社交缺失、脱离现实等潜在弊端，并呼吁社会与学校合理管控人工智能、重视孩子现实社交能力的培养。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“New Year’s gifts may contain more surprises than usual this year, as children open presents that can talk back.

Every year, we’d throw a combined birthday party, and seventh grade felt extra special — our moms finally agreed we could invite our classmates. We settled on a “Discover the Pyramids” theme, spending weeks crafting hieroglyphic (象形文字的) decorations and planning mummy wrap contests. As we wrote names on the invitation list, my mom leaned over my shoulder. “What about John?” she asked softly. John had transferred to our class a few months earlier, his math and science grades far outshining everyone else. But he was a quiet loner, never joining group activities, and he wore the same pair of brown corduroy (灯芯绒的) pants to school every single day. “Mom, he can’t even afford a costume,” I frowned, a surge of guilt welling up in me. My family wasn’t wealthy, but my mom was a master at bargain hunting — I’d never had to repeat an outfit. Mom’s brows wrinkled as she walked away to answer her office phone. The next afternoon, Nellie and I were cutting gold paper into pyramid shapes when Mom handed me an envelope. Inside was a gift certificate to our favorite department store, enough to buy several new outfits. “Nellie’s mom and I thought you two could give this to John,” she said before heading back to work. Nellie and I stared at the certificate in awe. “We can’t just hand it to him — that’d shame him,” Nellie said firmly. I nodded, thinking of how John would shrink into himself if we openly offered charity. We talked over ideas — slipping it into his desk, asking the teacher to pass it along — but none felt right. Just as I was about to suggest another plan, Nellie’s eyes lit up. “I’ve got an idea,” she said, snatching the envelope and bouncing on her heels. 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。 She giggled and whispered in my ears, “Let’s have a grand prize game.” ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ John’s hand shot up before anyone else, his answer precise and quick. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】She giggled and whispered in my ears, “Let’s have a grand prize game.” We immediately started brainstorming, deciding to design a math puzzle—John’s strongest subject. We drafted a problem about calculating pyramid volumes, then ran to ask Mom to check if it was fair but challenging. Mom nodded approvingly, praising our thoughtfulness. The party night was bustling with laughter; everyone danced and played games joyfully. Just as the party hit its peak, I climbed onto a chair. “Time for the grand prize game!” Nellie, next to me, held up a problem sheet and read out the math puzzle. John’s hand shot up before anyone else, his answer precise and quick. The crowd cheered—no one was surprised he’d nailed it. I bounced to him and congratulated him with the envelope. His eyes widened as he opened it, and a bright grin spread across his face when he saw the gift certificate. “Thank you!” he said excitedly. The next Monday, we spotted John striding into the school gate in a neat new shirt and dark jeans, a bright smile lifting at the corner of his mouth. Nellie and I exchanged a knowing glance, our hearts warm with the secret we’d guarded so carefully. We felt proud of our little trick—kindness, we realized, is best when wrapped in respect. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了 Nellie 和作者从出生起就是好朋友，七年级时，妈妈们同意她们邀请同学举办 “探索金字塔”主题的联合生日派对。写邀请名单时，妈妈提议邀请转校生 John，但作者因 John 家境不好且性格孤僻而有所顾虑。之后妈妈和Nellie 的妈妈准备了百货商店的礼品券让我们给John，我们为如何不伤害 John的自尊心而苦恼，这时Nellie 想到一个主意。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“她咯咯笑着，在我耳边轻声说：“我们来玩一个赢大奖的游戏吧””可知，第一段可描写我们决定设计一个关于数学的谜题游戏，以金字塔体积计算为题目，还找妈妈检查题目难度，派对当晚游戏环节大家玩得很开心，我们在派对高潮时宣布游戏开始。 ②由第二段首句内容“约翰的手比其他人都快地举了起来，他的回答准确又迅速”可知，第二段可描John快速且准确地回答出问题，赢得了游戏，作者把装有礼品券的信封给他，他看到礼品券后非常开心。下周一，我们看到John穿着新衣服来上学，脸上带着笑容，我们为自己善意且尊重他人的做法感到骄傲。 2.续写线索：决定设计数学谜题游戏——找妈妈检查题目——派对宣布游戏开始——John 赢得游戏获得礼品券——开心——下周一穿新衣上学——我们为做法骄傲。 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①决定：decide /determine ②意识到：realize/be aware of ③发现：spot/find 情绪类 ①高兴地：excitedly/feverishly ②惊讶的：surprised/astonished 【点睛】【高分句型 1】We immediately started brainstorming, deciding to design a math puzzle — John’s strongest subject.（运用了现在分词短语作状语 ） 【高分句型 2】The next Monday, we spotted John striding into the school gate in a neat new shirt and dark jeans, a bright smile lifting at the corner of his mouth.（运用了独立主格结构 ） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
