Mark fell for Marilynn’s charm in 2012, the day he came to interview for the job. He was standing in the hallway, hoping he didn’t look as nervous as he felt, when a stylishly dressed woman walked right up to him. “Good morning,” she said. “I’m Marilynn. I hope everything works out for you.” She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn’t help but smile back, nerves forgotten. He got the job, and it didn’t take long for him to realize what a treasure Marilynn was. She’d arrived herself only two years before, moving from Fargo. It was a huge change. She loved teaching, seeing her students’ skills and confidence grow. Would she find something as fulfilling at the Homestead? “I could have just sat in my apartment,” she says, “but I wasn’t going to do that.” Marilynn noticed that most people kept to themselves and didn’t know much about their neighbors, so she started a monthly newcomers’ get-together. One by one they’d go around the circle and share a fun fact about themselves as an icebreaker. She went to the monthly women’s breakfast. To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up. She took over, each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest, trips they’d taken, former careers, even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn’t long before the room was packed. She gave out birthday cards, using the Homestead’s monthly newsletter to get the dates. She played the piano for church services and special occasions. Marilynn didn’t notice anything different about the Homestead, but others did. “These changes you’re making, they’re great,” the residents would tell Mark. “Keep it up.” Mark knew he wasn’t the one who deserved the credit. Marilynn wasn’t trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her, doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition. 4. How did Mark feel after meeting Marilynn in the hallway? A. Amused. B. Worried. C. Astonished. D. Relieved. 5. What does the underlined word “fulfilling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Spiritually satisfying. B. Truly comforting. C. Extremely interesting. D. Incredibly challenging. 6. Why did Marilynn take over organizing the women’s breakfast? A. To improve its quality. B. To promote healthy eating. C. To make it more engaging. D. To show her personal power. 7. What can be inferred about Marilynn’s contributions to the community? A. They go unrecognised by Mark. B. They come from her caring nature. C. They are used to gain her influence. D. They are far from Mark’s expectation. C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By conducting drug experiments. D. By employing computer modeling. 9. What does the decrease of SCG’s BOLD signal mean? A. Patients’ depression was relieved. B. Motor symptoms got much worse. C. Brain activity became totally abnormal. D. Patients needed more medical treatment. 10. According to the last paragraph, what is the purpose of dancing for Parkinson’s patients? A. To teach them dance skills. B. To improve their life quality. C. To cure Parkinson’s disease. D. To activate all the brain regions. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits C. Dancing: Multiple Benefits to Be Seen D. Dancing: A Journey to Mental Well-Being D The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car. Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe’s difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market. Sixteen stations of Barcelona’s subway system are part of its new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the underground trains’ brakes (刹车) is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables (电缆) to the surface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles. Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. “I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in,” Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. “And if it is from energy from the trains’ brakes, then even better.” Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate (加速) the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers. Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses — in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency. 12. Why does Barcelona launch the MetroCharge project? A. To fuel the city’s economy. B. To enhance passengers’ experience. C. To promote green transportation. D. To raise the quality of electric cars. 13. What is Espinoza’s concern? A. How to cut his travel expenses. B. Where to get a parking space. C. How to avoid rush-hour traffic. D. Where to find a charging point. 14. What aspect of regenerative brakes is discussed in paragraph 5? A. Their operating conditions. B. Their conventional standard. C. Their potential risks. D. Their working mechanism. 15. What did Luna say about the system? A. It uses reclaimed energy creatively. B. It improves workers’ efficiency. C. It prioritizes the safety of trains. D. It generates jobs for the locals. 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。 Take a walk around any local park, office or city center and there’s a good chance you’ll see a number of people drinking from reusable water bottles. ____16____ But, while using a water bottle might be a planet-protecting act, the bottles may be carrying a hidden risk. Research has shown that if you don’t regularly wash your water bottle thoroughly, bacteria can build up — both on the inside and outside — that have the potential to make you very ill if swallowed. Some of a water bottle’s bacteria will come from the water itself, but mostly they come from the person drinking from it. ____17____ Although these bacteria are normally part of the human microorganisms, they can cause skin and breathing infections. ____18____ While they might land on the exterior of your bottle initially, they may later find their way onto the interior. For example, if you don’t wash your hands after going to the toilet, bacteria that typically live in your intestines (肠道) may also make their way onto, and into, your bottle. The type of drink you keep in your bottle also has a major effect on what grows inside it. Drinks that nourish (滋养) you also nourish bacteria. ____19____ Liquids to particularly avoid include protein shakes, energy drinks, fruit juices or anything containing sugar, as this can stimulate the growth of any bacteria present. Although your bottle may be reusable, it doesn’t maintain its own cleanliness. ____20____ Use hot water (over 60℃), as this temperature kills most pathogens (病原体), add washing-up liquid and then leave it for ten minutes. Afterwards, wash off it with hot water and allow it to dry — overnight is best. A. Our bodies are naturally covered with millions of bacteria. B. It’s therefore important that you regularly clean your bottle. C. It’s best to avoid filling your bottle with anything other than water. D. The longer that water is stored in a bottle, the more bacteria will grow. E. They’ve become a means to help us reduce our environmental footprint. F. The bottle will also contain bacteria present in the environment around it. G. Humans have a powerful defense system protecting us against kinds of infections. 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 A golden mist lay softly over the cornfields, as if the sun were settling the land for the night.

I had come here to take pictures, but I left with something else — how to mirror ____33____ itself. When we let go of ____34____ our needs, our desire to perfect — we make space for real beauty to appear. The boy didn’t need me to turn him into ____35____. He only wanted one thing: to be seen. 21.

They’d been glued (形影不离、如胶似漆) to each other’s side ever since Brittany moved next door in the second grade. Often, the two girls would play together at the park across the street, their days always filled with laughter. They’d swing high on the playground equipment, play hide-and-seek, or kick a soccer ball until their legs ached. On rainy days, they’d go in one of their houses to make crafts, play video games, or do their nails. Most days, they’d giggle (傻笑) and chat for hours without a single cross word, but one day, they just could not agree on what to do next. “Come on, let’s play on the playground equipment! We’ve played soccer for three days straight!” Alexa asked. “The grass was just cut — it’s perfect, short and soft! I don’t want to waste it on the playground,” Brittany replied. “We always do what YOU want, Brittany. It’s my turn to choose!” Alexa screamed, her cheeks reddening with frustration. “Fine! Go play by yourself then! I’m playing soccer!” Brittany shot back, planting her feet firmly. Alexa stormed off, anger burning in her chest. When she got home, she found Brittany’s notebook stuffed in her bag. “Hmph, she can wait till tomorrow to get this back!” she resolved. The next day at school, their teacher, Ms. Stone, asked everyone for their notebooks. Brittany froze in panic when she didn’t find hers in her bag. Nervously, she walked to Ms. Stone and asked if she could bring her notebook in the following day instead. Ms. Stone allowed one late assignment per month, but Brittany had already used hers. She looked upset, and walked quietly back to her desk. Witnessing all of this, Alexa felt butterflies in her stomach, a war going on in her head. She knew she should tell Ms. Stone that she had Brittany’s notebook, but the anger from yesterday still remained, keeping her lips sealed. 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。 When the bell rang for break, Alexa hesitated to talk with Ms. Stone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By lunchtime, Ms. Stone sat down with the pair for a talk. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 玉田县第一中学2025—2026学年度高二第二学期质量调研 高二英语 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力(共两节，满分30分) 第一节 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.

Would she find something as fulfilling at the Homestead? “I could have just sat in my apartment,” she says, “but I wasn’t going to do that.” Marilynn noticed that most people kept to themselves and didn’t know much about their neighbors, so she started a monthly newcomers’ get-together. One by one they’d go around the circle and share a fun fact about themselves as an icebreaker. She went to the monthly women’s breakfast. To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up. She took over, each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest, trips they’d taken, former careers, even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn’t long before the room was packed. She gave out birthday cards, using the Homestead’s monthly newsletter to get the dates. She played the piano for church services and special occasions. Marilynn didn’t notice anything different about the Homestead, but others did. “These changes you’re making, they’re great,” the residents would tell Mark. “Keep it up.” Mark knew he wasn’t the one who deserved the credit. Marilynn wasn’t trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her, doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition. 4. How did Mark feel after meeting Marilynn in the hallway? A. Amused. B. Worried. C. Astonished. D. Relieved. 5. What does the underlined word “fulfilling” mean in Paragraph 3? A. Spiritually satisfying. B. Truly comforting. C. Extremely interesting. D. Incredibly challenging. 6. Why did Marilynn take over organizing the women’s breakfast? A. To improve its quality. B. To promote healthy eating. C. To make it more engaging. D. To show her personal power. 7. What can be inferred about Marilynn’s contributions to the community? A. They go unrecognised by Mark. B. They come from her caring nature. C. They are used to gain her influence. D. They are far from Mark’s expectation. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述养老社区住户玛丽莲以无私关怀改善社区生活，传递温暖的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“She gave him such a warm smile that he couldn’t help but smile back, nerves forgotten. (她给了他一个温暖的微笑，他忍不住也笑了笑，忘记了紧张。)”可知，马克在走廊遇见玛丽莲后忘记了紧张，即松了一口气，放松并如释重负的感觉。故选D。 【5题详解】 词义猜测题。根据第三段“It was a huge change. She loved teaching, seeing her students’ skills and confidence grow. (这是一个巨大的变化。她喜欢教书，看着学生的技能和信心增长。)”可知，玛丽莲在这里作教书工作，帮助学生成长，她在这的工作充实而有意义。由此推断划线单词的含义是“充实的，有意义的”。故选A。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“She went to the monthly women’s breakfast. To her disappointment, only three or four others showed up. She took over, each month lining up one of the residents to give a talk about a special interest, trips they’d taken, former careers, even more weighty topics. She personally invited women to attend. It wasn’t long before the room was packed. (她去参加每月一次的妇女早餐会。令她失望的是，只有三四个人来了。她接手了工作，每个月都安排一名住院医生来做演讲，谈论他们的特殊兴趣、旅行经历、以前的职业，甚至更重要的话题。她亲自邀请女性参加。没过多久房间里就挤满了人。)”可知，玛丽莲要接管妇女早餐的组织工作之前，很少有人参加，于是她安排演讲，谈论各种有趣，重要的话题，在这之后参加的人越来越多，由此可知，玛丽莲要接管妇女早餐的组织工作是为了吸引更多的人参与进来。故选C。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Marilynn wasn’t trying to become a noticeable figure. She cared deeply about the people around her, doing so naturally and without intending to seek recognition. (玛丽莲并不想成为一个引人注目的人物。她很自然地关心周围的人，并没有刻意寻求别人的认可。)”可知，玛丽莲做出贡献，是因为她天性善良。故选B。 C Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. “It was very cool to see dance had a positive effect on the mood circuits in the brain, which we could see in the imaging from MRI brain scans (扫描),” says Joseph DeSouza, author of the study. “These improvements were also reported by the participants via survey. Our study is the first to demonstrate these benefits across these two detection methods.” The study followed 23 participants with Parkinson’s disease from the Sharing Dance Parkinson’s program at Canada’s National Ballet School, along with family members or caregivers. Participants took weekly dance classes for 8 months, progressing from simple leg and foot work to more complex movements like waltzes and more. The research team focused on the subcallosal cingulate gyrus (SCG), a brain region linked to depression. They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. The researchers found that after each dance class, reported depression rates dropped, and the effect was increasing from class to class, with significant improvements after 8 months. “We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza. “Parkinson’s disease is often accompanied by depression long before motor symptoms (症状) appear.” Dance is thought to have a double benefit, with music activating the brain’s reward centers, and the movement acting on sensory and motor circuits. DeSouza, dancing with participants for 14 years, says that while dancing is not a treatment for Parkinson’s disease by itself, the benefits are clear. “We’re not trying to cure it with dance,” he says. “What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life. This goes for both the patients, and their families that take care of them.” 8. How did the researchers conduct the study? A. By referring to previous studies. B. By making pre-post comparisons. C. By conducting drug experiments. D. By employing computer modeling. 9. What does the decrease of SCG’s BOLD signal mean? A. Patients’ depression was relieved. B. Motor symptoms got much worse. C. Brain activity became totally abnormal. D. Patients needed more medical treatment. 10. According to the last paragraph, what is the purpose of dancing for Parkinson’s patients? A. To teach them dance skills. B. To improve their life quality. C. To cure Parkinson’s disease. D. To activate all the brain regions. 11. What is the best title of the text? A. Dancing Away Parkinson’s Blues B. Dancing With Your Mood Circuits C. Dancing: Multiple Benefits to Be Seen D. Dancing: A Journey to Mental Well-Being 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一项科学研究，证实跳舞可以有效缓解帕金森患者的抑郁情绪。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“They measured mood and depression before and after each class using the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) (老年抑郁量表) and conducted regular MRI scans. (他们使用老年抑郁量表（GDS）在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，并定期进行MRI扫描。)”可知，研究人员在每节课前后测量情绪和抑郁，是通过前后对比来进行研究的。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段““We showed that SCG’s BOLD (blood oxygen level dependent) signal decreases while dancing, which means the SCG was not functioning as fast as it would if you had depression,” says DeSouza.(德索萨表示：“我们发现，人们跳舞时，胼胝体下扣带回的血氧水平依赖信号会减弱。这说明，该脑区的活跃程度要低于处于抑郁状态时的水平。”)”可知，胼胝下回扣带皮层的血氧信号减弱意味着患者的抑郁得到缓解。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“What we’re trying to do is to have people live a better quality of life.(我们想做的，就是帮助人们提升生活质量。)”可知，根据最后一段，帕金森患者跳舞的目的是提升生活质量。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Dancing lowers the depression associated with Parkinson’s disease, and the benefits can be seen in multiple ways, a new study shows. (一项新的研究表明，跳舞可以降低与帕金森氏症相关的抑郁，其益处通过多种方式看出。)”以及文章内容可知，本文主要介绍了舞蹈可缓解帕金森病患者的抑郁症状，由此可知，A项“跳舞远离帕金森氏症的忧郁”适合作为文章标题。 D The Barcelona subway pulls into the station, the doors slide open and passengers pour out to go about their daily business. Little do they know that as they do so, a burst of energy is sent up to street level to help charge an electric car. Barcelona has put together a package of clean energy technologies to help public transportation go greener, while also doing its part to tackle climate change and aid Europe’s difficult shift to the privately owned electric vehicle market. Sixteen stations of Barcelona’s subway system are part of its new MetroCharge project, whereby the energy from the underground trains’ brakes (刹车) is used to power the trains and the stations themselves, while the remainder is sent snaking through cables (电缆) to the surface to power plug-in stations for privately owned vehicles. Bernardo Espinoza, an engineer who takes the subway every day, owns an electric car. “I am pleasantly surprised, because I am always looking for where to plug it in,” Espinoza said before catching the subway in a working-class area of southern Barcelona. “And if it is from energy from the trains’ brakes, then even better.” Regenerative brakes have been in trains for decades and are also used in some cars. They consist of an electric motor which collects energy used in the braking action that would be lost as heat by conventional brakes. That energy can be immediately used to accelerate (加速) the vehicle or, in the case of the Barcelona subway system, sent along cables to supply electricity for the station or for electric car chargers. Alvaro Luna, a professor of electrical engineering, said that the system is innovative in so far as it allows for recycled energy to be redirected to specific local uses — in this case powering electric cars parked nearby. That, he said, boosts efficiency. 12. Why does Barcelona launch the MetroCharge project? A. To fuel the city’s economy. B. To enhance passengers’ experience. C. To promote green transportation. D. To raise the quality of electric cars. 13. What is Espinoza’s concern? A. How to cut his travel expenses. B. Where to get a parking space. C. How to avoid rush-hour traffic. D. Where to find a charging point. 14. What aspect of regenerative brakes is discussed in paragraph 5? A. Their operating conditions. B. Their conventional standard. C. Their potential risks. D. Their working mechanism. 15. What did Luna say about the system? A. It uses reclaimed energy creatively. B. It improves workers’ efficiency. C. It prioritizes the safety of trains. D. It generates jobs for the locals. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. D 15.

(电气工程教授阿尔瓦罗・卢纳表示，这套系统颇具创新性，原因在于它能将回收的电能重新调配，用于当地特定用途——本案例中就是为停在附近的电动汽车供电。)”可知，卢纳认为该系统创新性地利用了回收能源。 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。 Take a walk around any local park, office or city center and there’s a good chance you’ll see a number of people drinking from reusable water bottles. ____16____ But, while using a water bottle might be a planet-protecting act, the bottles may be carrying a hidden risk. Research has shown that if you don’t regularly wash your water bottle thoroughly, bacteria can build up — both on the inside and outside — that have the potential to make you very ill if swallowed. Some of a water bottle’s bacteria will come from the water itself, but mostly they come from the person drinking from it. ____17____ Although these bacteria are normally part of the human microorganisms, they can cause skin and breathing infections. ____18____ While they might land on the exterior of your bottle initially, they may later find their way onto the interior. For example, if you don’t wash your hands after going to the toilet, bacteria that typically live in your intestines (肠道) may also make their way onto, and into, your bottle. The type of drink you keep in your bottle also has a major effect on what grows inside it. Drinks that nourish (滋养) you also nourish bacteria. ____19____ Liquids to particularly avoid include protein shakes, energy drinks, fruit juices or anything containing sugar, as this can stimulate the growth of any bacteria present. Although your bottle may be reusable, it doesn’t maintain its own cleanliness. ____20____ Use hot water (over 60℃), as this temperature kills most pathogens (病原体), add washing-up liquid and then leave it for ten minutes. Afterwards, wash off it with hot water and allow it to dry — overnight is best. A. Our bodies are naturally covered with millions of bacteria. B. It’s therefore important that you regularly clean your bottle. C. It’s best to avoid filling your bottle with anything other than water. D. The longer that water is stored in a bottle, the more bacteria will grow. E. They’ve become a means to help us reduce our environmental footprint. F. The bottle will also contain bacteria present in the environment around it. G. Humans have a powerful defense system protecting us against kinds of infections. 【答案】16. E 17. A 18. F 19. C 20.

They’d been glued (形影不离、如胶似漆) to each other’s side ever since Brittany moved next door in the second grade. Often, the two girls would play together at the park across the street, their days always filled with laughter. They’d swing high on the playground equipment, play hide-and-seek, or kick a soccer ball until their legs ached. On rainy days, they’d go in one of their houses to make crafts, play video games, or do their nails. Most days, they’d giggle (傻笑) and chat for hours without a single cross word, but one day, they just could not agree on what to do next. “Come on, let’s play on the playground equipment! We’ve played soccer for three days straight!” Alexa asked. “The grass was just cut — it’s perfect, short and soft! I don’t want to waste it on the playground,” Brittany replied. “We always do what YOU want, Brittany. It’s my turn to choose!” Alexa screamed, her cheeks reddening with frustration. “Fine! Go play by yourself then! I’m playing soccer!” Brittany shot back, planting her feet firmly. Alexa stormed off, anger burning in her chest. When she got home, she found Brittany’s notebook stuffed in her bag. “Hmph, she can wait till tomorrow to get this back!” she resolved. The next day at school, their teacher, Ms. Stone, asked everyone for their notebooks. Brittany froze in panic when she didn’t find hers in her bag. Nervously, she walked to Ms. Stone and asked if she could bring her notebook in the following day instead. Ms. Stone allowed one late assignment per month, but Brittany had already used hers. She looked upset, and walked quietly back to her desk. Witnessing all of this, Alexa felt butterflies in her stomach, a war going on in her head. She knew she should tell Ms. Stone that she had Brittany’s notebook, but the anger from yesterday still remained, keeping her lips sealed. 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。 When the bell rang for break, Alexa hesitated to talk with Ms. Stone. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By lunchtime, Ms. Stone sat down with the pair for a talk. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 When the bell rang for break, Alexa hesitated to talk with Ms. Stone. Watching Brittany sitting alone with her head down, looking sad and helpless, Alexa’s anger gradually faded away. Deep regret flooded her heart. She realized she had acted selfishly and foolishly just because of a small quarrel. Eventually, she gathered all her courage and walked up to Ms. Stone, admitting that she had accidentally kept Brittany’s notebook in her bag. She sincerely apologized for her mistake and explained the whole quarrel between them in a low voice. By lunchtime, Ms. Stone sat down with the pair for a talk. Instead of blaming them severely, she gently told them that true friendship never avoids small conflicts and forgiveness matters more than being right. Moved by the teacher’s words, the two girls looked at each other with teary eyes. Alexa apologized for her childish behavior, and Brittany also admitted she had been stubborn earlier. They hugged tightly, promising to listen to each other and cherish their precious friendship. Their laughter finally returned. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了亚历克莎与好友布列塔尼争吵后私藏对方笔记本，事后愧疚坦白，二人经老师劝解和好的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写课间亚历克莎内心纠结，最终鼓起勇气向老师坦白拿走笔记本的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写老师开导两个女孩，二人互相道歉、和好如初的场景。 2.续写线索：内心愧疚——主动坦白——老师开导——互相道歉——重归于好 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit/acknowledge ②紧紧相拥：hug tightly/embrace closely 情绪类 ① 伤心的：sad/upset/sorrowful ②愧疚：regret/guilt/remorse 【点睛】【高分句型1】Watching Brittany sitting alone with her head down, looking sad and helpless, Alexa’s anger gradually faded away.
