A variety of technical fields are presented in 65 halls-Mining, Space, Energy, and Transportation, etc. And the exposition (博览会) is the only museum project in Russia about the history of the bike. The interactive division "Technoplay" is open, where you not only can but also need touch most of the exhibits with your hands. In addition to self-experimentation, for visitors with special requests the museum's experts will show many enjoyable experiments. Eureka, England The Eureka educational center is a huge complex where modern science and technology are becoming clear, even to kids. The main exhibition is devoted to the human body, the laws of physics and natural things. Visitors can obtain energy or create paper with their own hands. On the area of the Eureka educational park there is a botanical garden and a collection of minerals from the rock types of Finland is presented there. Deutsches Museum, Germany In this museum you can see more than 100 thousand different items from windmills (风车) to medical equipment. All aspects of industrial production appear before the eyes. Several museum rooms are arranged especially for children -there are exhibits that entertain kids starting from three. NEMO, the Netherlands The largest Dutch research centre stands ready to share its secrets with everyone. This immersion (沉没) in the world of science and technology will not be dull. All significant information is presented in the form of exciting games. All exhibits are interactive; visitors are allowed to touch, pull and press on anything. The museum is for children from 6 to 16, as well as for their parent - it will be interesting to all. 21. What makes Polytechnic Museum unique? A. It is specially designed for children. B.

That is why Michael Edwards, or “Eddie the Eagle”, became a rather unexpected hero. Unlike most athletes, Eddie did not come to the 1988 Calgary Olympic Winter Games for a medal. He came simply to compete. In doing so, he realized his dream. At first, Eddie tried to make the British national ski team but failed. Then he chose the riskiest event, ski jumping. No British skier had ever competed in that sport, but having no competitors meant that Eddie had a better chance of qualifying (取得资格) for the 1988 Olympic. Games. It also meant there was no support for him. Eddie had no coach, equipment, or financial support, but what he had was determination. Not afraid of what he lacked, Eddie set out to learn his chosen sport, training himself for nearly 2 years. And he managed to meet the qualification for Olympic ski jumping, and landed himself in the 1988 Olympic Games. Eddie was determined to compete, and while he came in last, he did manage to land his jumps, and he still holds the British record in that sport. Coming in last place actually made him the star of the Olympics and the true embodiment (化身) of the Olympic spirit. Many of us may have experienced similar limitations during our own youth that prevented us from following our dreams. Eddie’s rejection (拒绝) from the British national ski team is a story that many of us can relate to. Rejection can be devastating, but we can struggle to find the courage to put ourselves back out there, or the creativity to find another way. 24. What was Eddie’s dream? A. To become a hero. B. To join the national ski team. C. To take part in the Olympics. D. To develop his ski jumping skills. 25. Why did Eddie choose ski jumping as his event? A. It was popular among British skiers. B. It meant a better chance to win a medal. C. He would get the support he needed in this event. D. He would be more likely to be included in the Olympics. 26. What made Eddie the star of the Olympics? A. His caring little for fame. B. His professional performance. C. His breaking the British record. D. His determination to follow his dream. 27. What does the underlined word “devastating” mean in the last paragraph? A. Disastrous. B. Unforgettable. C. Sudden. D. Confusing. C An international team led by scientists at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) has recently developed the world’s first 3D artificial eye with capabilities that even outperform those of the human eyes, bringing vision to humanoid robots and new hope to patients with visual damage. Scientists have spent decades trying to produce the exact copies of the structure and clarity of a biological eye, but vision provided by existing artificial eyes with external wires are still in poor resolution (分辨率) with 2D flat image sensors. The Electrochemical Eye (EC-Eye) developed at HKUST, however, may actually offer sharper vision than a human eye, with extra functions such as the ability to see things in darkness. The key feature allowing such breakthroughs is a 3D artificial retina (视网膜), made of nanowire light sensors which are like the photoreceptor in human retinas. The scientists connected the nanowire light sensors to some liquid-metal wires serving as nerves behind the human-made retina during the experiment, and successfully carried out the visual signal transmission to reflect what the eye sees onto the computer screen. In the future, those nanowire light sensors could be directly connected to the nerves of the visually damaged patients. Apart from that, the artificial retina can receive more light signals and potentially attain a higher image resolution than human retina. With further adjustment, the EC-Eye can be a self-powered image sensor, so there is no need for external power source, which will be much more user-friendly as compared with the current technology. “The current artificial eyes are still of no match to the human eyes. A new technology is in urgent need, and it gives me a strong motivation to start this unconventional project. In the next step, we plan to further improve the performance of our device. Animal and clinical trials are now being planned. I think if everything is on track, perhaps in five years, the technology will become practical,” said Prof. Fan, whose team has spent nine years to complete the current study. 28. What’s the feature of the EC Eye? A. It uses 2D flat image sensors. B. It provides a clearer vision than human eyes. C. It performs better at night than in the day. D. It is attached with external wires. 29. What’s the function of nanowire light sensors? A. To send computer signals. B. To serve as nerves behind the retina. C. To receive visual signals. D. To connect nerves of patients to the wires. 30. What can we infer about the EC- Eye from Dr. Fan’s words? A. It is different from the previous devices. B. It has been improved by the team. C. It will be in clinical trials in five years. D. It is of no match to human eyes. 31. What can be the best title for the text? A. EC-Eye Will Become Popular B. Nanowire Light Sensors Help People See C. Scientists Have Developed First Artificial 3D Eye D. EC-Eye Helps to Cure People of Eye Diseases D Use food to ease your moods? The time of meals may have an impact on moods, including levels of depression and anxiety, according to researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. To conduct the study, 19 participants (12 men and 7 women) were arranged to experience a Forced Process in a dark room for four 28-hour “days”. Participants were assigned to one of two meal timing groups: the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group, which had meals according to a 28-hour cycle (resulting in eating both during the night and day, which is typical among night workers), and the Daytime Only Meal Group, which had meals on a 24-hour cycle (resulting in eating only during the day). The team then assessed depression and anxiety like mood levels every hour. The result showed that meal timing significantly affected the participants’ mood levels. During the simulated (模拟的) night shift (day 4), those in the Daytime and Nighttime Meal Control Group had increased depression and anxiety like mood levels, compared to the baseline(day 1). In contrast, there were no changes in mood in the Daytime Only Meal Group. Participants with a greater degree of circadian(昼夜节律的) disorder experienced more depression and anxiety like moods. Researchers discovered that among individuals in the daytime and nighttime eating groups, anxiety and depression rose by 16% and 26% individually. A famous author Sarah Chellappa, who completed work on this project, said, “Meal timing is emerging as an important aspect of nutrition that may influence physical health, but the causal role of the timing of food intake in affecting mental health remains to be tested. Future studies are required to establish if changes in meal timing can lead individuals to experience anxiety-related disorders.” The findings open the door for studying a behavioral strategy that might benefit individuals suffering from mental health disorders, such as shift workers. The study also adds to a growing body of evidence finding that strategies that improve sleep and circadian patterns may help promote mental health. 32．How is the study carried out according to the text? A．By presenting cause and effect. B．By examining the participants’ eating habits. C．By recording the eating time in various groups. D．By comparing data from two different groups. 33．Which of the following will the researchers probably agree with? A．Daytime eating might benefit mental health. B．It’s unavoidable for people to eat at the wrong time. C．Nighttime meal is harmful and should be prohibited. D．It’s necessary to keep track of our mood levels each day. 34．What does the follow-up test aim to find out according to Sarah Chellappa? A．How food intake affects human’s moods. B．Whether changes in meal timing cause emotional problems. C．Whether food nutrition is related to mental health. D．Why shift workers suffer from mental health disorders. 35．Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A．Meal Timing Reduces Pressure B．Meal Timing May Affect Moods C．Mood Disorders Result in Anxiety D．Good Strategies Benefit Our Health 第二节 七选五：(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) Self-improvement is universal to the human experience. ____36____ Perhaps you want to lose weight, improve your skills in a certain area, be more comfortable socially, be happier, or be more productive.

Every single day, he drives along the busy urban streets, picking up and dropping off various passengers. The job is tiring and barely well-paid, yet he never utters a single complaint. Instead, he always returns home with a big smile and small jokes to brighten up the whole family. “A passenger tipped me with a half-eaten apple today!” he would joke, bringing laughter to my mother and me. Back in fifth grade, I handmade a sunflower key chain for him. It looked rough with faded paint. Nevertheless, Father cherished it deeply. He fastened it to his waist belt and took it wherever he went. As years rolled by, the key chain grew worn and nearly lost all its color, yet it still hung on his belt, swaying gently with every step he took. Currently a high schooler, I am constantly buried in piles of homework and exams. Last week, I suffered a terrible failure in my math exam, leaving me feeling extremely defeated. Upon arriving home, I threw my schoolbag aside and sank into silence. Father instantly spotted my low spirits and asked softly what had happened. Refusing to reply, I felt annoyed at his repeated comfort offers. The accumulated frustration and embarrassment finally exploded. “Leave me alone!” I shouted rudely at him. My harsh words hung awkwardly in the room. Father froze on the spot, his smile fading away completely. For a brief moment, he stared at me in shock and hurt, confused by my sudden outburst. Without any explanation, he turned around and walked slowly to his bedroom. The soft click of the closing door stung my heart far more fiercely than a loud slam. That night, I tossed and turned in bed, consumed by great guilt. I quietly stepped out of my room and walked to the living room. There lay his belt on the sofa, with the faded sunflower key chain resting on it, silently reminding me of my foolishness. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.首句已给出。 Paragraph 1 I was shocked at my own rudeness。 _______________________________________________________________________________________Paragraph 2 I knocked at the door and it opened. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年第二学期高二英语期末试卷答案 第1部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 1-5 CAACA 6-10 BBAAB 11-15 CCCBC 16-20 BCACB 第二部分 阅读理解（共两节, 满分50分, 每小题2. 5分） 阅读理解答案: 21- -23 D B C 24--27 C D D A 28---31 B C A C 32 --35 D A B B 36--40 C B E G D 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分, 共15分） 完形填空答案: 41--55 DBADC 56-60 CBDBA 61-65 CDBAC 第二节 （共10小题；每小题1. 5分, 满分15分） 56. to learn 57. was held 58. dynasties 59. dressed 60. of 61. performance 62. where 63. taking 64. enjoyed 65. deeply 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节（满分15分） 【参考范文】 正方 反方 1.放松身体，增强体质 2.缓解学习压力 1.跑步后，容易疲劳，影响上课 2.出汗多，可能导致感冒 Dear Mr. Smith, I’m writing to show my great enthusiasm for your upcoming lecture on AI-assisted learning, which has aroused wide interest among us senior high students.

Moreover, we are confused about how to take full advantage of AI tools wisely and avoid over-reliance on artificial intelligence. I would appreciate it if you could give your professional guidance and valuable advice. I am looking for your reply. Yours, Li Hua 第二节（满分25分） Paragraph 1 I was shocked at my own rudeness. My gaze fixed on the worn keychain, countless thoughts flooding into my mind. It suddenly dawned on me that this simple sunflower had accompanied my hardworking father through countless tough days and busy shifts. He stood endless traffic chaos, tiredness and indifferent passengers all year round to support our family. Despite all the hardships, he always showered me with unconditional love and patience. In sharp contrast, I lost my temper just because of a poor exam grade. A strong sense of guilt washed over me. I picked up the belt gently, held the faded keychain tightly, and headed for my father’s room. Paragraph 2 I knocked at the door and it opened. Standing before me was my father, whose reddened eyes clearly revealed the hurt he had tried hard to hide. Overwhelmed with regret, I apologized sincerely, with tears streaming down my cheeks. Instead of blaming me, Father pulled me into his arms gently. “Everyone has bad moods and tough moments,” he comforted me in a soft voice. At that moment, I came to realize that true family love lies not in perfect performances, but in silent devotion, endless tolerance and selfless forgiveness. It is always the warmest shelter that backs me up through all difficulties in life. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ ] ] ] ] ( 青铜峡市一中2025-2026学年第二学期 高二 期 末 考试 英语答题卡 ( A卷 ) ) ( 16 abc 17 abc 18 abc 19 abc 20 abc ) ( 11 abc 1 2 abc 13 abc 14 abc 15 abc ) ( 1 abc 2 abc 3 abc 4 abc 5 abc ) 注意事项 1、 选择题请用2B铅笔填涂方框，如需改动，必须用橡皮擦干净，不留痕迹。 2、 非选择题必须使用黑色签字笔书写。 3、 请按题号在对应的答题区域内作答，超出答题区域、在草稿纸和试题上的答案均无效。 4、 请保持卷面清洁，不要折叠和弄破答题卡。 选择题填涂样例： 正确填涂 ] ( 姓 名 班 级 座位号 ) ( 条形码粘贴区域 (正面朝上，切勿贴出虚线方框) ) ( 缺考标记 （禁止考生填涂） ) ( 试卷类型 A B ) ( [ ) ( [ ) ( [ ) ( 21 abcd 22 abcd 23 abcd 24 abcd 25 abcd ) ( 31 abcd 32 abcd 33 abcd 34 abcd 35 abcd ) ( 26 abcd 27 abcd 28 abcd 29 abcd 30 abcd ) ( 36 abcdefg 37 abcdefg 38 abcdefg 39 abcdefg 40 abcdefg ) ( 41 abcd 42 abcd 43 abcd 44 abcd 45 abcd ) ( ) ( 6 abc 7 abc 8 abc 9 abc 10 abc ) ( 46 abcd 47 abcd 48 abcd 49 abcd 50 abcd ) ( 51 abcd 52 abcd 53 abcd 54 abcd 55 abcd ) ( 第一、二部分及第三部分第一节 选择题 （95分） （1-20题，每题1.5分；21 — 40题，每题2.5分；41－55题，每题1分） ) ( 第三部分第四部分 非选择 （55分） ) ( 第二节、语法填空, 注意 正确形式 （每空1.5分，共15分） 56. 57. 58. 59. 60. 61. 62. 63. 64. 65. ) ( 第四部分：写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节: 书面表达 （15分） Dear Smith, ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Yours, Li Hua ) ( 第二节：读后续写 （25分） I was shocked at my own rudeness I knocked at the door and it opened. ) ( 严禁超出矩形边框作答 ) ] 英语 第2页 共2页 ] ] 英语 第1页 共2页 ] 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 青铜峡市第一中学2025-2026学年第二学期期末试卷 高 二 英 语（B卷） （考试时间：120分钟 试卷满分：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。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。每段对话读两遍。 1.

This colorful act symbolizes the victory of good over evil (邪恶) each year. It begins with a bonfire (篝火) , the flame of which burns away evil, and after that, the participants are in for some real fun. Crowds of people sprinkle (酒) each other with colored powder and organic paints as a sign of goodness and good luck. Venice Carnival in Italy The most romantic city in Italy fills with bright colors and sounds of music every year at the end of February. Residents and guests of Venice dress up in splendid costumes in the style of the Middle Ages and cover their faces with masks. The carnival ends with the awarding of the competitors who have showed the most original and colorful costumes. Tomorrowland in Belgium The biggest electronic music festival in the world is held at the end of July in the Belgian city of Boom. The famous three-day event annually gathers more than 300 thousand guests. The main stages are set up in a large park with artificial ponds and beautiful green areas. The area will be equipped in advance with food courts, grills, and all the necessary equipment. Burning Man in the USA Many cultural events pale in comparison to the legendary Burning Man, held in Nevada from the last Monday in August to the first Monday in September. The unique atmosphere is created not only by the organizers and the desert where the festival takes place but also by the participants themselves. They build a tent city with homemade art objects and the necessary equipment.

B Music is not just a collection of sounds — it’s a powerful force that affects our lives in many ways. Scientists have been studying the effects of music on humans, and their findings are truly amazing. A study from the University of Toronto showed that listening to music before a test can improve focus. Students who listened to calm music for 10 minutes before an exam scored higher on average than those who didn’t. Another research by the University of Oxford found that making music, like playing the guitar or singing, can boost (提升) people’s self-confidence. People who spent 30 minutes a day practicing music reported feeling more positive about themselves. Moreover, music helps us connect with others. Whether it’s singing along at a concert or sharing playlists with friends, music creates a sense of community. So, the next time you listen to your favorite song or play an instrument, remember: music is much more than entertainment — it’s a key to a better mood, stronger focus, and deeper connections. 24．What is the passage mainly about? A．How to choose good music. B．The powerful effects of music on our lives. C．The history of different music types. D．Why people love listening to music. 25．According to the University of Toronto’s study, listening to music before a test can help students ________. A．sleep better B．score higher C．make more friends D．speak more fluently 26．What can playing music do according to the University of Oxford’s research? A．Make people feel more confident. B．Make people feel more tired. C．Make people eat more food. D．Make people run faster. 27．Which of the following is the best title for this passage? A．“The Best Music for Students” B．“Music: A Path to Success” C．“The Magic of Music” D．“How to Play Musical Instruments” C Swimmers are tidy and make the best lovers while cyclists vote Liberal Democrat. What your favorite sport says about you? Unless your name is Rebecca Adlington, Victoria Pendleton or Mo Farah, sport is probably nothing more than an enjoyable hobby. Now a new study has revealed that your choice of sport says more about you than you could possibly have imagined. According to researchers, cyclists are more likely to be emotionally stable, runners the most outgoing and swimmers the happiest, while walkers are the least materialistic. The psychological study, which was carried out by experts from Mind Lab, also revealed that sport can also offer clues to a person’s attitude to charity, reading habits and even their voting intentions. Cyclists, for example, are most likely to vote Liberal Democrat and tend to be calm in front of material possessions. Meanwhile runners tend to be Labour-voting outgoing people who love being the centre of attention. Those who swim tend to make the best lovers, are tidy and are also the most charitable, although according to Mind Lab, 61 percent of adults are fond of charity regardless of their choice of sport. Walkers, a group that includes those who enjoy wandering, cross-country races and hiking, are least concerned about material possessions and like being alone. “It has long been known that exercise is not only good for your body, but also your mind,” says psychologist Dr David Lewis. “Past research has shown that exercising can be used to treat and possibly even prevent anxiety and generally has a positive effect on mental health. The results from this study show that no matter what kind of person you are, there is the right kind of exercise for you,” Dr David Lewis adds. 28．What kind of people may not get angry easily according to the study? A．Walkers. B．Runners. C．Swimmers. D．Cyclists. 29．How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed? A．By giving examples. B．By following time order. C．By making comparisons D．By setting down general rules 30．Which word can best describe the character of swimmers? A．Humorous. B．Warm-hearted. C．Open-minded. D．Pessimistic. 31．In the last paragraph, Dr David Lewis makes the point that ________. A．It’s better to choose sports that suit you well B．Bad feelings can be got rid of by doing exercise C．There’s no doubt that sports can keep you healthy D．Exercise benefits you both physically and mentally D Mr. and Mrs. Gordon were sitting on the sand, reading their magazines. Mr. Gordon was too stingy (吝啬) to rent a chair. Their twelve-year-old daughter, Sandra, was playing at the water’s edge. Suddenly a huge wave lifted Sandra up and carried her out to sea. Fortunately, a lifeguard was on duty and he saw the wave carry Sandra away. He ran along the beach and dived into the sea. He swam quickly to where the girl, with her head only just above the water, was shouting for help. She was very frightened. When the lifeguard reached her, she struggled with him, as drowning people often do. However, he was a skillful lifeguard and quickly took hold of her and swam with her back to the beach. By the time he reached it, Mr. and Mrs. Gordon had realized what had happened. They had run down to the water’s edge. Neither of them could swim. They just stood in the shallow water, and worried about their daughter. Had the lifeguard reached her in time? Fortunately, he had. “That was quick work, young man,” Mr. Gordon said. He turned to his wife, “Give the lifeguard a dollar” “A dollar!” Sandra cried. “Dad, how can you give him a dollar! He saved my life. I was half dead” “Quite right, girl” Mr. Gordon said, pleased by his daughter’s awareness of the value of money. He turned to his wife again and said, “She’s right. She was only half dead. Give him fifty cents.” 32. What happened to Sandra? A. She ran into the sea. B. Her life was saved by a lifeguard. C. She was drowned. D. She died. 33. What did Mr. and Mrs. Gordon do when Sandra was carried out to sea by the wave? A. Perhaps they were reading magazines. B. They dived into the water. C. They shouted to the lifeguard. D. They offered the lifeguard money to save Sandra. 34. Why was Sandra angry with her father? A. He did not give the lifeguard any money. B. He did not swim out to save her. C. He did not show the lifeguard hearty thankfulness. D. He gave the lifeguard too much money. 35. Why was Mr. Gordon pleased with her daughter? A. She was safe again. B. She was polite to the lifeguard. C. She gave the lifeguard fifty cents. D. He thought she did not want him to give the life-guard too much money. 第二节 七选五：(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) One of the best experiences while in college is living with a roommate. However, it is difficult and it’s unavoidable that conflicts will arise. 36 There are plenty of ways to handle conflict so that it does not ruin your relationship with your roommate. Communication is Key Communicating with your roommate is the most important thing when it comes to solving a conflict. 37 Communicating with them directly is much better received than if you were to send them a text about the issue. 38 Being passive-aggressive doesn’t get anybody anywhere when it comes to roommate conflicts. In fact, it usually just makes people even angrier at the situation. So, before you decide to leave that sticky note on the bathroom mirror about closing the shower curtain after using it, think twice. If you have something you want to say to your roommate, say it in person. Confront them rather than leaving notes around the house. Listen to Your Roommate While communication is key, so is listening. 39 When your roommates confront you or respond to your confrontation, listen attentively to them. They may provide important insight into how they are feeling that you were never aware of. They will be more likely to talk the issue out with you when they see that you are actively making an effort to listen to them. Be Ready to Compromise You most likely will not get your way when it comes to solving an issue with a roommate. So, to avoid getting upset, always be prepared to compromise. Keep an open mind about how to solve the issue. It may not always be exactly how you want it to be solved. 40 A. Think twice before expressing anger. B. Don’t be passive-aggressive. C. Actually, they both go hand in hand. D. However, it is how you communicate that makes all the difference. E. But listening shows more respect for speakers than communication. F. Even if you are best friends, you should be prepared to solve conflicts. G. But if compromise is made to make both of you happier, that is a success. 第三部分 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) A few days ago I landed at the Bombay Airport and took a taxi to my scheduled destination in South Bombay.

Every single day, he drives along the busy urban streets, picking up and dropping off various passengers. The job is tiring and barely well-paid, yet he never utters a single complaint. Instead, he always returns home with a big smile and small jokes to brighten up the whole family. “A passenger tipped me with a half-eaten apple today!” he would joke, bringing laughter to my mother and me. Back in fifth grade, I handmade a sunflower key chain for him. It looked rough with faded paint. Nevertheless, Father cherished it deeply. He fastened it to his waist belt and took it wherever he went. As years rolled by, the key chain grew worn and nearly lost all its color, yet it still hung on his belt, swaying gently with every step he took. Currently a high schooler, I am constantly buried in piles of homework and exams. Last week, I suffered a terrible failure in my math exam, leaving me feeling extremely defeated. Upon arriving home, I threw my schoolbag aside and sank into silence. Father instantly spotted my low spirits and asked softly what had happened. Refusing to reply, I felt annoyed at his repeated comfort offers. The accumulated frustration and embarrassment finally exploded. “Leave me alone!” I shouted rudely at him. My harsh words hung awkwardly in the room. Father froze on the spot, his smile fading away completely. For a brief moment, he stared at me in shock and hurt, confused by my sudden outburst. Without any explanation, he turned around and walked slowly to his bedroom. The soft click of the closing door stung my heart far more fiercely than a loud slam. That night, I tossed and turned in bed, consumed by great guilt. I quietly stepped out of my room and walked to the living room. There lay his belt on the sofa, with the faded sunflower key chain resting on it, silently reminding me of my foolishness. 注意：1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.首句已给出。 Paragraph 1 I was shocked at my own rudeness。 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 I knocked at the door and it opened. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第 1 页 共 4 页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $第一节听下面五段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Molly needs some crayons for her art class at school.
