B Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, drinking cups of water at an aid station, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away. That gave her an idea for something more sustainable-a lightweight silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again. After working out a design, Smith e ordered some cups and tested them at a race in 2021. Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70,000 cups that can be rented out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups. Billions of disposable (一次性的) cups are used around the world each year. These cups are often made of plastic, but even if they are made of paper, they typically have a plastic lining that makes it difficult for them to biodegrade (生物降解). Making these cups, and disposing or burning them, also generates planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. “It’s something that generates a lot of waste, and the waste — depending on what exactly it’s made of — can really last in landfills for hundreds of years,” said Sarah Gleeson, an expert at climate nonprofit Project Drawdown. Now, Smithe rents out thousands of reusable cups, driving them to events in big boxes and leaving recycling bins with the company logo for collection after use. By the start of May this year, Smithe estimated she’s taken her cups to 137 races and spared more than 900,000 disposable ones from the landfills. Gleeson sees the reusable cups as an effective way that innovators are looking to cut down on waste. Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local or small applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby recycling bins later on. High adoption of sustainable solutions really maximizes environmental benefits. 4. What inspired Smithe’s business idea? A. The popularity of lightweight cups. B. The disposable cups in the Marathon. C. Runners’ demands for quality cups. D. Insufficient cup supply at aid stations. 5. Why does the author mention Sarah Gleeson’s words in paragraph 3? A. To illustrate the growing global warming. B. To highlight the value of waste sorting. C. To show the determining factor of pollution. D. To stress the necessity of reducing plastic waste. 6. What is Hiccup Earth’s primary service? A. Selling reusable cups directly to runners. B. Donating silicone cups to race organizers. C. Renting recyclable cups to sports events. D. Offering eco-friendly materials to cup producers. 7. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A. To call on more sustainable practice. B. To analyze potential challenges. C. To compare waste reduction measures. D. To introduce another innovation. C Yellowstone’s wolves are helping a new generation of young aspen (山杨) trees to grow tall and join the forest — the first new generation of such trees in Yellowstone’s northern range in 80 years. Gray wolves had disappeared from Yellowstone National Park by 1930 following extensive habitat loss, human hunting and government wolf-killing programs. Without these wolves, populations of deer grew quickly. At their peak population, an estimated 18,000 deer ranged across the park, living on grasses as well as the leaves of trees like aspen. This prevented young trees from establishing themselves, and surveys in the 1990s found no young aspen trees. But when wolves were reintroduced in 1995, the picture began to change. As wolf numbers rose, the deer population in the park dropped sharply, and it is now down to about 2,000. In the new study, published in the journal Forest Ecology and Management, Luke Painter and his colleagues from Oregon State University surveyed aspen stands. “We’re seeing significant new growth of young aspen and this is the first time that we’ve found it in our plots since the 1940s,” Painter said. However, while Yellowstone’s aspen are recovering, they aren’t out of the woods just yet. The deer population has declined, but bison (野牛) numbers have increased in recent years. Bison are a lot harder for wolves to take down, said Painter, so increasing numbers of bison may be emerging as a new restriction on aspen in some areas. The re-emergence of aspen has widespread effects, Painter said. “Aspen are a key species for biodiversity. The aspen trees let more sunlight through their leaves, which creates a habitat that supports a lot of diversity of plants.” “The paper shows the important ecological benefits occurring from the restoration of wolves to Yellowstone National Park,” Dominick Spracklen, a professor at the University of Leeds, said. “Ecosystems that lack large carnivores (食肉动物) are often increasingly out of balance. While reintroducing carnivores raises important challenges around human-wildlife coexistence, this work brings the significant ecological benefits in the long run.” 8. What can be inferred about Yellowstone Park before 1930 according to the text? A. Deer population reached its peak. B. Human activities slightly affected wolves. C. Bison were the main species in the park. D. Gray wolves existed with deer there. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. The aspen trees are too young to make a forest. B. The aspen trees cannot get rid of survival threat. C. Other tree species may hold back aspen’s recovery. D. Yellowstone is not the best habitat for aspen trees. 10. What is Professor Spracklen’s attitude toward carnivore restoration in ecosystems? A. Favorable. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Worried. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The History of Gray wolves in Yellowstone B. The Return of Gray wolves Revives Aspen Trees C. The Challenges of Human-Wildlife Coexistence Grow D. The Restoration of Large Carnivores in National Parks D Fighting fires usually uses water or foam, but these can make a mess and harm the surroundings. To address this, engineers at Ohio State University have now made handheld tools that put out fires cleanly with “ionic (离子的) wind” and vortex (涡流) rings. If you’ve ever blown out a birthday candle, you’ll know that a quick burst of air can be enough to put out a flame. It works by separating the heat from the fuel so it can’t start again. But blowing on a campfire doesn’t help — it’s too big, and you just add oxygen. The new device is like a bigger version of the birthday candle trick. First, it shoots a vortex ring of air that creates wild airflow to split heat and fuel. At the same time, the vortex carries tiny conductive particles (导电颗粒) that ionize the air and make even more vortex. In practice, firefighters would aim this handheld tool at a fire and shoot these “ionic wind” rings to put it out. That would also reduce the expense and cleanup. “Using ionic wind and vortex ring technology, we found a more efficient way to solve an environmental problem that will improve lives,” lead researcher John Larocco said. One of the biggest advantages of this device is that it allows firefighters to put out flames from a safer distance, reducing the risk of injury. Since vortex rings can carry chemicals over long distances, firefighters wouldn’t need to get dangerously close to fires. Much more work still needs to be done, however. For one thing, the devices were tested on groups of candles, which aren’t like real house or forest fires. Testing them against more realistic fires is a priority for future experiments. Still, the team thinks this technology could really work in the real world. The researchers also believe this device could be improved with smart sensors and image analysis, making it more precise in detecting different types of fires. Beyond firefighting, this technology could have future applications in aerospace and industrial safety. 12. Why did engineers at Ohio State University invent the new handheld tools? A. To take full advantage of water and foam. B. To enhance firefighters’ professional skills. C. To abandon traditional firefighting methods. D. To reduce the rescue damage to the environment. 13. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning the birthday candle in paragraph 2? A. The principle of putting out a flame by air. B. The efficient way to blow out a birthday candle. C. The difference between a small flame and a campfire. D. The reason why blowing on a campfire doesn’t work. 14. Why can the new device lower the risk of injuries? A. It creates stronger wind than other tools. B. It absorbs harmful substances in the smoke. C. It enables users to stay farther from the fire. D. It allows firemen to avoid using chemicals. 15. What is the researchers’ expectation for the new device? A. It will prevent all types of fire. B. It will reform the aerospace industry. C. It will be more intelligent and accurate. D. It will be widely used by ordinary people. 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My sister is a three-time breast cancer survivor who has personally experienced significant loss in her lifetime. ____16____ She is one of the most resilient(有韧性的)people I know.

One day, when Lily heard about the school cross-country race (越野比赛) would be held soon, an thought came into her mind suddenly. She decided that this was her chance to prove to herself and everyone else that she was more than just a sickly girl. Without the slightest hesitation, she decided to enter for the greatest ever race for herself. Considering her poor strength, her parents and friends tried to persuade her to give it up. However, Lily didn’t change her mind and started to train for the race from then on. At first, every step was a struggle. She would get out of breath quickly and her legs would ache after just a short distance. But Lily was bound and determined to challenge herself. She started with short walks, gradually increasing the distance each day. She would push herself a little further each time, ignoring the pain and tiredness. As the days passed, Lily’s strength began to grow little by little. She could run for longer periods without stopping and her endurance (忍耐力) improved significantly. The day of the big cross-country run arrived at last. Lily stood at the starting line and her heart beat quickly and loudly with excitement and a touch of nervousness. As the starting gun fired, Lily took off with other runners. The course (进程) was really tough, with hills and rough terrain, but Lily didn’t give up. She kept pushing forward, remembering every detail of the training she had put great efforts into. As she ran, she focused on her breathing and her pace, without realizing the tiredness was slowly beginning to occur. 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。 About halfway through the race, Lily began to struggle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, she saw the finishing line. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 东莞市第四高级中学2025-2026第一学期高三十月月考 第一部分 (共2节，满分50分) 第一节 (共15题，每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每道题给出的选项中选出最佳答案 A 2026 Steel Design Competition Administered by the Association of College Schools of Architecture (ACSA) and sponsored by the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), the competition is intended to challenge architecture students to explore a variety of design issues related to the use of steel in design and construction.

A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Kristina Smithe在参加马拉松比赛时，受到一次性杯子浪费现象的启发，创立了Hiccup Earth公司，提供可重复使用的硅胶杯以减少浪费。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Kristina Smithe was running the California International Marathon in 2019, drinking cups of water at an aid station, when she started to think about how much waste such events produce. On the flight home, she did the math: 9,000 runners, 17 aid stations and something like 150,000 cups used once and thrown away.(2019年，Kristina Smithe在参加加州国际马拉松比赛时，在补给站喝了几杯水，她开始思考这样的活动会产生多少垃圾。在回家的飞机上，她算了一笔账：9000名跑步者，17个补给站，大约15万只一次性杯子用过就被扔掉了)”和第二段中“That gave her an idea for something more sustainable — a lightweight silicone (硅胶) cup that could be used again and again.(这让她想到了一个更可持续的主意——一个可以反复使用的轻便硅胶杯)”可知，Smithe是在马拉松比赛中看到一次性杯子的浪费现象后，受到启发产生了可重复使用杯子的商业想法。故选B项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“These cups are often made of plastic, but even if they are made of paper, they typically have a plastic lining that makes it difficult for them to biodegrade (生物降解). Making these cups, and disposing or burning them, also generates planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. “It’s something that generates a lot of waste, and the waste — depending on what exactly it’s made of — can really last in landfills for hundreds of years,” said Sarah Gleeson, an expert at climate nonprofit Project Drawdown.(这些杯子通常由塑料制成，即便使用纸制品，其内壁也往往覆有塑料膜，导致难以生物降解。无论是生产过程，还是丢弃焚烧这些杯子，都会产生导致全球变暖的温室气体。非营利气候组织“项目减排”专家Sarah Gleeson指出：“这类物品产生大量废弃物，根据具体材质不同，可能在垃圾填埋场存留数百年之久。”)”可知，作者提到Sarah Gleeson的话是为了强调一次性杯子造成的浪费和污染问题，从而凸显减少塑料垃圾的必要性。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Now her business, Hiccup Earth, has 70,000 cups that can be rented out to interested races to replace the typical white paper cups.(现在，她的公司Hiccup Earth有7万个杯子可以出租给感兴趣的比赛，以取代典型的白色纸杯)”和第四段中“Now, Smithe rents out thousands of reusable cups, driving them to events in big boxes and leaving recycling bins with the company logo for collection after use.(现在，Smithe出租了数千个可重复使用的杯子，用大箱子把它们运到活动现场，并留下带有公司标志的回收箱，以便使用后收集)”可知，Hiccup Earth的主要业务是将可回收杯子租给体育赛事。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Such solutions often have to be rooted in convenience and grounded in local or small applications to get more people to adopt them. Some cities, for instance, are experimenting with reusable food takeout containers that customers return to nearby recycling bins later on. High adoption of sustainable solutions really maximizes environmental benefits.(可循环使用杯是创新者寻求减少废弃物的重要途径。这类解决方案必须立足便捷性，扎根地方性或小范围应用，才能提升公众接受度。例如，某些城市正在试点可循环外卖餐盒计划，顾客可将使用后的餐盒投递至附近的回收箱。当可持续方案获得广泛采纳时，环境效益才能真正实现最大化)”可知，最后一段旨在呼吁采用更多可持续的做法，比如循环外卖餐盒，以最大化环境效益。故选A项。 C Yellowstone’s wolves are helping a new generation of young aspen (山杨) trees to grow tall and join the forest — the first new generation of such trees in Yellowstone’s northern range in 80 years.

However, while Yellowstone’s aspen are recovering, they aren’t out of the woods just yet. The deer population has declined, but bison (野牛) numbers have increased in recent years. Bison are a lot harder for wolves to take down, said Painter, so increasing numbers of bison may be emerging as a new restriction on aspen in some areas. The re-emergence of aspen has widespread effects, Painter said. “Aspen are a key species for biodiversity. The aspen trees let more sunlight through their leaves, which creates a habitat that supports a lot of diversity of plants.” “The paper shows the important ecological benefits occurring from the restoration of wolves to Yellowstone National Park,” Dominick Spracklen, a professor at the University of Leeds, said. “Ecosystems that lack large carnivores (食肉动物) are often increasingly out of balance. While reintroducing carnivores raises important challenges around human-wildlife coexistence, this work brings the significant ecological benefits in the long run.” 8. What can be inferred about Yellowstone Park before 1930 according to the text? A. Deer population reached its peak. B. Human activities slightly affected wolves. C. Bison were the main species in the park. D. Gray wolves existed with deer there. 9. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 4 mean? A. The aspen trees are too young to make a forest. B. The aspen trees cannot get rid of survival threat. C. Other tree species may hold back aspen’s recovery. D. Yellowstone is not the best habitat for aspen trees. 10. What is Professor Spracklen’s attitude toward carnivore restoration in ecosystems? A. Favorable. B. Skeptical. C. Disapproving. D. Worried. 11. Which of the following can be a suitable title for the text? A. The History of Gray wolves in Yellowstone B. The Return of Gray wolves Revives Aspen Trees C. The Challenges of Human-Wildlife Coexistence Grow D. The Restoration of Large Carnivores in National Parks 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. A 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了黄石公园中灰狼群的重新引入如何帮助山杨树恢复生长，并强调了恢复大型食肉动物对生态系统平衡的重要生态效益。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Gray wolves had disappeared from Yellowstone National Park by 1930 following extensive habitat loss, human hunting and government wolf-killing programs. Without these wolves, populations of deer grew quickly. (由于栖息地大量丧失、人类捕猎和政府的灭狼计划，灰狼在1930年从黄石国家公园消失。没有了这些狼，鹿的数量迅速增长。)”可知，1930年前灰狼尚未消失，那时灰狼和鹿是共存的。故选D项。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段“However, while Yellowstone’s aspen are recovering, they aren’t out of the woods just yet. The deer population has declined, but bison (野牛) numbers have increased in recent years. Bison are a lot harder for wolves to take down, said Painter, so increasing numbers of bison may be emerging as a new restriction on aspen in some areas.(然而，尽管黄石公园的山杨正在恢复，但they aren’t out of the woods just yet。鹿的数量有所减少，不过近年来野牛的数量却在增加。潘特（Painter）表示，野牛对狼群来说要难对付得多，因此在部分区域，不断增多的野牛可能正逐渐成为山杨生长的新制约因素。)”可知，“they aren’t out of the woods”指山杨仍面临野牛带来的新威胁，即“无法摆脱生存威胁”。故选B项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The paper shows the important ecological benefits occurring from the restoration of wolves to Yellowstone National Park,” Dominick Spracklen, a professor at the University of Leeds, said. “Ecosystems that lack large carnivores (食肉动物) are often increasingly out of balance. While reintroducing carnivores raises important challenges around human-wildlife coexistence, this work brings the significant ecological benefits in the long run.” (利兹大学教授多米尼克・斯普拉克伦（Dominick Spracklen）表示：“该研究论文表明，黄石国家公园重新引入狼群后，产生了重要的生态效益。缺乏大型食肉动物的生态系统，往往会越来越失衡。尽管重新引入食肉动物会给人兽共存带来重大挑战，但从长远来看，这项举措能带来显著的生态效益。”)”可知，斯普拉克伦教授认可食肉动物恢复带来的生态效益，态度是“支持的”。故选A项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文特别是第一段“Yellowstone’s wolves are helping a new generation of young aspen (山杨) trees to grow tall and join the forest——the first new generation of such trees in Yellowstone’s northern range in 80 years.(黄石公园的狼群正助力新一代山杨幼苗长得高大，并融入森林 —— 这是80年来黄石公园北部区域首批这样的新一代山杨树。)”可知，文章开篇点明“黄石的狼帮助新一代山杨生长”，接着介绍1930年狼消失后山杨因鹿过量而无法生长，1995年狼回归后鹿减少、山杨恢复，还提及山杨面临的新威胁及狼回归的生态意义，核心是“灰狼回归促进山杨复苏”。故选B项。 D Fighting fires usually uses water or foam, but these can make a mess and harm the surroundings. To address this, engineers at Ohio State University have now made handheld tools that put out fires cleanly with “ionic (离子的) wind” and vortex (涡流) rings. If you’ve ever blown out a birthday candle, you’ll know that a quick burst of air can be enough to put out a flame. It works by separating the heat from the fuel so it can’t start again. But blowing on a campfire doesn’t help — it’s too big, and you just add oxygen. The new device is like a bigger version of the birthday candle trick. First, it shoots a vortex ring of air that creates wild airflow to split heat and fuel. At the same time, the vortex carries tiny conductive particles (导电颗粒) that ionize the air and make even more vortex. In practice, firefighters would aim this handheld tool at a fire and shoot these “ionic wind” rings to put it out. That would also reduce the expense and cleanup. “Using ionic wind and vortex ring technology, we found a more efficient way to solve an environmental problem that will improve lives,” lead researcher John Larocco said. One of the biggest advantages of this device is that it allows firefighters to put out flames from a safer distance, reducing the risk of injury. Since vortex rings can carry chemicals over long distances, firefighters wouldn’t need to get dangerously close to fires. Much more work still needs to be done, however. For one thing, the devices were tested on groups of candles, which aren’t like real house or forest fires. Testing them against more realistic fires is a priority for future experiments. Still, the team thinks this technology could really work in the real world. The researchers also believe this device could be improved with smart sensors and image analysis, making it more precise in detecting different types of fires. Beyond firefighting, this technology could have future applications in aerospace and industrial safety. 12. Why did engineers at Ohio State University invent the new handheld tools? A. To take full advantage of water and foam. B. To enhance firefighters’ professional skills. C. To abandon traditional firefighting methods. D. To reduce the rescue damage to the environment. 13. What does the author try to illustrate by mentioning the birthday candle in paragraph 2? A. The principle of putting out a flame by air. B. The efficient way to blow out a birthday candle. C. The difference between a small flame and a campfire. D. The reason why blowing on a campfire doesn’t work. 14. Why can the new device lower the risk of injuries? A. It creates stronger wind than other tools. B. It absorbs harmful substances in the smoke. C. It enables users to stay farther from the fire. D. It allows firemen to avoid using chemicals. 15. What is the researchers’ expectation for the new device? A. It will prevent all types of fire. B. It will reform the aerospace industry. C. It will be more intelligent and accurate. D. It will be widely used by ordinary people. 【答案】12. D 13. A 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了研究人员发明了一种新型灭火工具。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据“Fighting fires usually uses water or foam, but these can make a mess and harm the surroundings. To address this, engineers at Ohio State University have now made handheld tools that put out fires cleanly with “ionic (离子的) wind” and vortex (涡流) rings. (灭火通常会使用水或泡沫，但这些方法可能会造成混乱并对周围环境造成损害。为了解决这个问题，俄亥俄州立大学的工程师们现在研制出了手持式工具，它们利用“离子风”和涡旋环来干净地扑灭火灾。)”可知，文章第一段提到传统灭火方式会造成混乱并破坏周围环境，为解决这一问题，工程师们制造出一种新型手持工具。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“If you’ve ever blown out a birthday candle, you’ll know that a quick burst of air can be enough to put out a flame. It works by separating the heat from the fuel so it can’t start again. But blowing on a campfire doesn’t help — it’s too big, and you just add oxygen. (如果你曾经吹灭过生日蜡烛，你就会知道，一股快速吹出的气流就足以扑灭火焰。其原理是将热量与燃料分离开来，这样火焰就无法再次燃烧了。但对着篝火吹气却没什么效果——篝火太大了，你这样做只会增加氧气的供应。)”可知，作者提及生日蜡烛意在说明通过空气扑灭火焰的原理。故选A。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One of the biggest advantages of this device is that it allows firefighters to put out flames from a safer distance, reducing the risk of injury. Since vortex rings can carry chemicals over long distances, firefighters wouldn’t need to get dangerously close to fires. (该设备的最大优势之一在于，它能让消防员在更安全的距离扑灭火焰，从而降低受伤的风险。由于涡旋环能够将化学物质远距离输送，消防员就不必冒险靠近火灾现场了。)”可知，这种装置最大的优点之一是它可以让消防员从更安全的距离扑灭火焰，减少受伤的风险。由于涡流环可以将化学物质携带到很远的地方，消防员不需要危险地靠近火场。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Still, the team thinks this technology could really work in the real world. The researchers also believe this device could be improved with smart sensors and image analysis, making it more precise in detecting different types of fires. Beyond firefighting, this technology could have future applications in aerospace and industrial safety. (不过，该团队认为这项技术在实际应用中确实可行。研究人员还相信，通过配备智能传感器和图像分析技术，该设备能够更精确地检测不同类型的火灾。除了用于灭火之外，这项技术在航空航天和工业安全领域也可能有未来的应用前景。)”可知，研究人员希望这个新设备更智能，更精准。故选C。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 My sister is a three-time breast cancer survivor who has personally experienced significant loss in her lifetime. ____16____ She is one of the most resilient(有韧性的)people I know.

As scheduled, the activity began at 3:00 p.m., lasting three hours. What came first was a moving speech delivered by a volunteer, mirroring the authentic life of the needy students and kindling the kindness. What subsequently followed was the exciting sales section where many second-hand items, ranging from electronic devices to old fancy clothes, were sold at a pretty low price.

She was constantly in and out of hospitals, battling various illnesses. Her weak physical condition made her feel like an outsider among her peers who were always full of energy in and out of school. One day, when Lily heard about the school cross-country race (越野比赛) would be held soon, an thought came into her mind suddenly. She decided that this was her chance to prove to herself and everyone else that she was more than just a sickly girl. Without the slightest hesitation, she decided to enter for the greatest ever race for herself. Considering her poor strength, her parents and friends tried to persuade her to give it up. However, Lily didn’t change her mind and started to train for the race from then on. At first, every step was a struggle. She would get out of breath quickly and her legs would ache after just a short distance. But Lily was bound and determined to challenge herself. She started with short walks, gradually increasing the distance each day. She would push herself a little further each time, ignoring the pain and tiredness. As the days passed, Lily’s strength began to grow little by little. She could run for longer periods without stopping and her endurance (忍耐力) improved significantly. The day of the big cross-country run arrived at last. Lily stood at the starting line and her heart beat quickly and loudly with excitement and a touch of nervousness. As the starting gun fired, Lily took off with other runners. The course (进程) was really tough, with hills and rough terrain, but Lily didn’t give up. She kept pushing forward, remembering every detail of the training she had put great efforts into. As she ran, she focused on her breathing and her pace, without realizing the tiredness was slowly beginning to occur. 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。 About halfway through the race, Lily began to struggle. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, she saw the finishing line. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 About halfway through the race, Lily began to struggle. Her legs felt like lead, and every breath seemed harder than the last. Doubts crept into her mind, whispering that she should just stop and walk. However, she remembered the countless hours of training, the pain she had endured, and the determination that had driven her to this moment. Encouraged by the cheers of her classmates, she willed herself to keep going, pushing through the discomfort and reminding herself that she was capable of more than she had ever believed. Finally, she saw the finishing line. A surge of adrenaline coursed through her body, and she found a reserve of strength she didn’t know she had. With a renewed sense of purpose, Lily sprinted toward the finish line, her heart racing with exhilaration. As she crossed it, a wave of joy washed over her, and she realized that this moment was not just about finishing the race; it was about overcoming her limitations and proving to herself that she could achieve anything she set her mind to. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了莉莉是一个身体虚弱的女孩，整个童年都在与健康问题作斗争。尽管身体虚弱，她还是决定参加学校的越野比赛，以证明自己的力量和韧性。在最初的训练中，莉莉面临着巨大的挑战，她逐渐建立了自己的耐力和毅力。在比赛当天，她感到紧张，但决心坚定。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“比赛进行到一半时，莉莉开始挣扎。”可知，第一段可描写莉莉忍受着痛苦决定继续前进。 ②由第二段首句内容“最后，她看到了终点线。”可知，第二段可描写莉莉终于到达终点线证明了自己。 2.续写线索：莉莉开始挣扎——心理斗争——决定继续前进——看到终点线——到达终点——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①忍受：endure/tolerate/put up with ②激励：encourage/motivate/stimulate ③意识到：realize/be aware of 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight/happiness ②痛苦：pain/suffering 【点睛】[高分句型1]Doubts crept into her mind, whispering that she should just stop and walk.（运用了现在分词作状语和that引导的宾语从句） [高分句型2] However, she remembered the countless hours of training, the pain she had endured, and the determination that had driven her to this moment.（运用了省略关系词的定语从句以及that引导的定语从句） [高分句型3] With a renewed sense of purpose, Lily sprinted toward the finish line, her heart racing with exhilaration.（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 $
