It lets people stay in local homes during trips, deeply experiencing local life and culture. Lin Yue, a young girl who has an adventurous spirit and likes exploring new things, decided to try a home exchange trip last summer. Through a home exchange website, she reached an agreement with a family in Paris, France. She had always wanted to go to Paris, and this trip gave her a special chance to experience the romantic city in a real way. When Lin Yue arrived in Paris, she was immediately captivated by the streets and buildings full of history. She lived in a warm apartment of a local family, which was in a lively community with bakeries, cafes and small shops. Like a local person, she bought freshly-baked bread from the corner bakery every morning. The smell of the warm bread filled the air when she walked on the stone streets. Then she would go to the park, where she could see locals playing chess under old trees or feeding friendly pigeons. In the evenings, she joined neighbors at the community square, listening to music played by local bands and chatting with them about their daily lives. Before the trip, Lin Yue thought traveling was just about visiting famous places, taking photos, and then leaving. However, this home exchange trip changed her idea completely. She felt a deep sense of connection to the city and its people. It was as if she had found a hidden world full of warmth. She realized that real travel is not only about seeing scenery but also about becoming part of the local life, communicating with locals, and understanding their culture. Lin Yue said, “Home exchange travel makes me feel another kind of charm of traveling. I’m not a person who just passes by quickly. I’ve become a part of this city. This experience makes me love traveling more. It also makes me know that there are beautiful things everywhere in life waiting for us to discover.” 4. What does the underlined word “captivated” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Confused. B. Attracted. C. Frightened. D. Disappointed. 5. Why did Lin Yue say she became a part of the city? A. Because she bought a lot of souvenirs. B. Because she took a lot of photos in the city. C. Because she visited many famous scenic spots. D. Because she lived like a local and joined community activities. 6. What might Lin Yue learn from her home exchange trip? A. It’s better to travel alone. B. Actions speak louder than words. C. Traveling is all about visiting famous spots. D. True travel means more than just seeing scenery. 7. Which word can best describe Lin Yue’s trip to Paris? A. Boring. B. Ordinary. C. Unforgettable. D. Tiring. C About one in 10 people worldwide die from stroke (中风), the third leading cause of death globally after heart disease and COVID-19. The number of people who have had a stroke has been rising in the U.S. and worldwide. While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. A new study in the Lancet Neurology reveals more people worldwide are surviving after a stroke, with no increases and even some decreases in strokes among adults over 70 — but increases in strokes in younger adults, particularly those under 55. Among more than 5.2 million adults surveyed in the May CDC report from 2011 – 2022, those with a stroke increased from 2.7 percent in 2011 – 2013 to 2.9 percent in 2020 – 2022. Although older age is a known risk factor for stroke, prevalence (患病率) did not actually go up in adults aged 65 and older. The age group with the largest growth was 45 to 64, accounting for a 16 percent increase. Among adults aged 18 – 44, stroke occurrence also rose by a relative 15 percent. In plain terms, younger adults still make up a very small proportion of overall strokes, but rates are climbing quickly in these younger groups with no increases seen in older adults. Growing risk factors range from climbing rates of obesity (肥胖) to hotter temperatures from climate change, but the single biggest risk factor is the same across every region in the world: high blood pressure, responsible for a little over half of all strokes, the Lancet study found. Fortunately, of all the risk factors for stroke, hypertension is also one of the easiest to monitor and change. A healthy blood pressure is anything below 120/80, which can be achieved through both lifestyle changes and medicines. Richard Temes, a neurologist at Northwell Health in New York, say’s the first step for individuals is understanding their risk, whether from lifestyle or family history. Changing one aspect of lifestyle can have a chain effect. 8. What can be known from Paragraph 1? A. COVID-19 is the deadliest disease globally. B. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. C. There is a tendency for younger adults to develop stroke. D. People suffering from stroke live longer than those who don’t. 9. How are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing relevant figures. B. By explaining cause and effect. C. By providing supporting reasons. D. By comparing the similarities and differences. 10. What does the underlined word “hypertension” mean in paragraph 5? A. Mental pressure. B. Body temperature. C. High blood pressure. D. Heart disease. 11. Which could serve as the best title for this text? A. Stroke: A Disease on the Rise. B. Stroke: A Younger Trend Worldwide. C. Healthy Lifestyle: Key Factor to Avoid Stroke. D. High Blood Pressure: The Biggest Risk among Adults. D “I was dead for 67 minutes. It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson, who survived a cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up. It was an early summer morning, a typical Saturday. Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center. “I had no symptoms that there was any problem. It was a completely normal morning; I felt fine,” he shared. “I was visiting with friends. Then, I passed out. What happened next I know from what others have told me.” Bruce’s friend, Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions. Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedic tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED. By this time, Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes, often when time of death is called. On the phone with an emergency room doctor, one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously (同时). It worked; Bruce’s heart began to beat again. Incredibly, he awoke the next day and was able to communicate. After a week, Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital. Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest, he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences. He now is a passionate CPR advocate. He has shared his story in the news, and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR. Finally, Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country. 12. What made Bruce’s survival from a severe heart attack possible? A. The doctor’s first aid without delay. B. The instant actions of his friends and the first responders. C. His volunteer experiences in the community center. D. His friends’ proper guidance on performing CPR. 13. Why did Bruce share his story in a video? A. To advocate the application of CPR. B. To appeal to more people to volunteer. C. To share his struggle for a normal life. D. To enhance people’s awareness of fitness. 14. What can we learn from Bruce’s story? A. Hard work will pay off one day. B. Ease your mind when panic arises. C. Learning to live in the present matters. D. The knowledge of first aid counts. 15. What is the text? A. A research paper. B. A book review. C. A news report. D. A course advertisement. 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 It’s now been 10 years since I sold everything and left the United States to travel the world. Here are some of my best travel planning tips to help you have a great trip. ____16____ I don’t know how to answer when readers ask how many days they should spend traveling in a particular country or city. The truth is that I have no idea what you’ll enjoy or who you’ll meet. My advice is to pick a starting point, 1 or 2 must-do activities, and an ending point(or not). ____17____ Be open to changing your plans if you learn about something along the way! Learn a few foreign words. There’s no need to be fluent in order to visit a foreign country. However, mastering a few phrases in the local language can improve your travel experience.____18____ But remember that this is your problem, not theirs. Raising your voice doesn’t magically help Mexicans understand English. Try hand signals, images on your phone, or Google Translate! Write down the address of your hotel. Sometimes, after a long flight playing games on your smartphone, your battery could end up dead. And if you didn’t write down where you’re staying, how will you tell the taxi driver? ____19____ Read a book about the country. Before you travel to a new country, I recommend reading a good book about it to learn more about its history and culture before you arrive. ____20____ Your travel experience will be different if you already know about your destination. A. Pick a starting point. B. Be flexible and don’t over plan. C. Then just let the universe determine the rest. D. You are sure to benefit from these simple images. E. This could be as simple as a popular novel by a local author. F. Not being able to communicate while traveling can be frustrating. G. I also recommend noting down your room number after you check in. 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 I’m a university professor at an art school.

The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register. “Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse?” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks. The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.” My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you?!” Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat? Our lemon loaf just came out warm.” Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile. 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。 The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, my phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2026年上学期高二期末考试 英语 注意事项: 1.答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 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，写在试卷上无效。 3.考试结束后，本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 一、听力-选择题：本大题共20小题，共30分。 1.What is the woman now?

However, this home exchange trip changed her idea completely. She felt a deep sense of connection to the city and its people. It was as if she had found a hidden world full of warmth. She realized that real travel is not only about seeing scenery but also about becoming part of the local life, communicating with locals, and understanding their culture.(在旅行之前，林悦认为旅行就是去参观一些著名的地方、拍照然后离开。然而，这次家庭交换之旅彻底改变了她的想法。她对这座城市及其居民产生了深深的归属感。仿佛她找到了一个充满温暖的隐秘世界。她意识到真正的旅行不仅在于欣赏风景，还在于融入当地的生活、与当地人交流以及了解他们的文化)”可推断，林悦从这次换房旅行中学到，真正的旅行不仅仅是看风景。故选D。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Lin Yue said, “Home exchange travel makes me feel another kind of charm of traveling. I’m not a person who just passes by quickly. I’ve become a part of this city. This experience makes me love traveling more. It also makes me know that there are beautiful things everywhere in life waiting for us to discover.”(林悦说：“换房旅行让我感受到了旅行的另一种魅力。我不是那种匆匆而过的人。我已经成为了这座城市的一部分。这次经历让我更热爱旅行了。它还让我明白，在生活中处处都有美好的事物等待着我们去发现。”)”以及林悦在巴黎像当地人一样生活，体验当地文化，还改变了自己对旅行的看法，说明这次旅行给她留下了深刻的印象。故选C。 C About one in 10 people worldwide die from stroke (中风), the third leading cause of death globally after heart disease and COVID-19. The number of people who have had a stroke has been rising in the U.S. and worldwide. While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. A new study in the Lancet Neurology reveals more people worldwide are surviving after a stroke, with no increases and even some decreases in strokes among adults over 70 — but increases in strokes in younger adults, particularly those under 55. Among more than 5.2 million adults surveyed in the May CDC report from 2011 – 2022, those with a stroke increased from 2.7 percent in 2011 – 2013 to 2.9 percent in 2020 – 2022. Although older age is a known risk factor for stroke, prevalence (患病率) did not actually go up in adults aged 65 and older. The age group with the largest growth was 45 to 64, accounting for a 16 percent increase. Among adults aged 18 – 44, stroke occurrence also rose by a relative 15 percent. In plain terms, younger adults still make up a very small proportion of overall strokes, but rates are climbing quickly in these younger groups with no increases seen in older adults. Growing risk factors range from climbing rates of obesity (肥胖) to hotter temperatures from climate change, but the single biggest risk factor is the same across every region in the world: high blood pressure, responsible for a little over half of all strokes, the Lancet study found. Fortunately, of all the risk factors for stroke, hypertension is also one of the easiest to monitor and change. A healthy blood pressure is anything below 120/80, which can be achieved through both lifestyle changes and medicines. Richard Temes, a neurologist at Northwell Health in New York, say’s the first step for individuals is understanding their risk, whether from lifestyle or family history. Changing one aspect of lifestyle can have a chain effect. 8. What can be known from Paragraph 1? A. COVID-19 is the deadliest disease globally. B. Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the U.S. C. There is a tendency for younger adults to develop stroke. D. People suffering from stroke live longer than those who don’t. 9. How are Paragraph 3 and Paragraph 4 developed? A. By listing relevant figures. B. By explaining cause and effect. C. By providing supporting reasons. D. By comparing the similarities and differences. 10. What does the underlined word “hypertension” mean in paragraph 5? A. Mental pressure. B. Body temperature. C. High blood pressure. D. Heart disease. 11. Which could serve as the best title for this text? A. Stroke: A Disease on the Rise. B. Stroke: A Younger Trend Worldwide. C. Healthy Lifestyle: Key Factor to Avoid Stroke. D. High Blood Pressure: The Biggest Risk among Adults. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现中风呈现年轻化趋势，并分析了导致中风的因素，分享了预防措施。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. (虽然中风患者比以前的患者寿命更长，存活时间更长，但他们也越来越年轻)”可知，中风的人有年轻化的趋势。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Among more than 5.2 million adults surveyed in the May CDC report from 2011 – 2022, those with a stroke increased from 2.7 percent in 2011 – 2013 to 2.9 percent in 2020 – 2022. (美国疾病控制与预防中心5月份的报告显示，在2011年至2022年期间调查的520多万成年人中，中风患者从2011年至2013年的2.7%增加到2020年至2022年的2.9%)”和第四段中“The age group with the largest growth was 45 to 64, accounting for a 16 percent increase. Among adults aged 18 – 44, stroke occurrence also rose by a relative 15 percent. (增长最大的年龄组是45岁至64岁，增长了16%。在18至44岁的成年人中，中风发生率也相对上升了15%)”可知，这两段都用到了列数据说明的方法来阐释研究结果。故选A项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。画线词的上文“Growing risk factors range from climbing rates of obesity (肥胖) to hotter temperatures from climate change, but the single biggest risk factor is the same across every region in the world: high blood pressure, responsible for a little over half of all strokes, the Lancet study found. (《柳叶刀》的研究发现，不断增加的危险因素包括肥胖率上升和气候变化导致的气温升高，但最大的一个危险因素在世界上每个地区都是相同的：高血压，占所有中风的一半多一点)”提到影响中风的因素中危险最大的是高血压，画线词的下文“A healthy blood pressure is anything below 120/80, which can be achieved through both lifestyle changes and medicines. (健康的血压是低于120/80，这可以通过改变生活方式和药物来实现)”提到健康血压的管理方式。由此可知，画线词所在句表示“在所有中风的危险因素中，高血压也是最容易监测和改变的因素之一”，画线词意思应该是“高血压”，与High blood pressure意思一致。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“While stroke victims are living longer and surviving more than such victims before, they’re also getting younger. (虽然中风患者比以前的患者寿命更长，存活时间更长，但他们也越来越年轻)”可知，文章主要介绍了一项新的研究发现中风呈现年轻化趋势，并分析了导致中风的因素，分享了预防措施。因此，B项“中风：世界范围内的年轻化趋势”最契合文章主旨，适合作为文章标题。故选B项。 D “I was dead for 67 minutes. It’s a miracle that I’m here today.” Those are the words of Bruce Richardson, who survived a cardiac arrest (心脏骤停) in July 2016 thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up. It was an early summer morning, a typical Saturday. Bruce volunteered as usual in the community center. “I had no symptoms that there was any problem. It was a completely normal morning; I felt fine,” he shared. “I was visiting with friends. Then, I passed out. What happened next I know from what others have told me.” Bruce’s friend, Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions. Another friend, Doug, dialed 911 and the operator walked him through compressions until first responders arrived. Once the ambulance arrived, the paramedic tried five times to restart Bruce’s heart with an AED. By this time, Bruce had been without a heartbeat for over 30 minutes, often when time of death is called. On the phone with an emergency room doctor, one of the paramedics was instructed to try two AEDs simultaneously (同时). It worked; Bruce’s heart began to beat again. Incredibly, he awoke the next day and was able to communicate. After a week, Bruce made a full recovery and left the hospital. Since Bruce’s cardiac arrest, he has since been able to resume a normal life with some differences. He now is a passionate CPR advocate. He has shared his story in the news, and last year he was a guest speaker at the Association’s Indianapolis Heart & Stroke Ball to encourage people to spread the message of CPR. Finally, Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country. 12. What made Bruce’s survival from a severe heart attack possible? A. The doctor’s first aid without delay. B. The instant actions of his friends and the first responders. C. His volunteer experiences in the community center. D. His friends’ proper guidance on performing CPR. 13. Why did Bruce share his story in a video? A. To advocate the application of CPR. B. To appeal to more people to volunteer. C. To share his struggle for a normal life. D. To enhance people’s awareness of fitness. 14. What can we learn from Bruce’s story? A. Hard work will pay off one day. B. Ease your mind when panic arises. C. Learning to live in the present matters. D. The knowledge of first aid counts. 15. What is the text? A. A research paper. B. A book review. C. A news report. D. A course advertisement. 【答案】12. B 13. A 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章讲述了Bruce因心脏骤停67分钟后，在朋友和急救人员及时救助下奇迹生还，并致力于宣传CPR急救知识的故事。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“thanks to the quick actions of his friends and the first responders who refused to give up.(多亏了他的朋友们和急救人员拒绝放弃的迅速行动)”可知，是朋友和急救人员的即时行动让Bruce得以生还。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“Bruce shared his story in a video now being used to promote American Heart Association Hands-Only CPR kiosks installed around the country.(Bruce在一个视频中分享了他的故事，该视频现被用来推广美国心脏协会在全国各地安装的仅用手部CPR亭)”可知，Bruce在视频中分享故事是为了倡导CPR的应用。故选A。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Bruce’s friend, Jack, had learned how to perform CPR, and he quickly began chest compressions.(Bruce的朋友杰克学过如何进行心肺复苏术，他很快开始进行胸部按压。)”可知，正是因为朋友掌握了急救知识并及时施救，Bruce才得以存活，由此可知急救知识非常重要。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。文章以当事人的直接引语开篇，按时间顺序叙述事件经过(具体时间、地点、人物、救援过程、医院治疗及后续社会活动)，语言客观平实，具备新闻的时效性、真实性和叙事性特征，属于典型的新闻报道。故选C。 三、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。 It’s now been 10 years since I sold everything and left the United States to travel the world. Here are some of my best travel planning tips to help you have a great trip. ____16____ I don’t know how to answer when readers ask how many days they should spend traveling in a particular country or city. The truth is that I have no idea what you’ll enjoy or who you’ll meet. My advice is to pick a starting point, 1 or 2 must-do activities, and an ending point(or not). ____17____ Be open to changing your plans if you learn about something along the way! Learn a few foreign words. There’s no need to be fluent in order to visit a foreign country. However, mastering a few phrases in the local language can improve your travel experience.____18____ But remember that this is your problem, not theirs. Raising your voice doesn’t magically help Mexicans understand English. Try hand signals, images on your phone, or Google Translate! Write down the address of your hotel. Sometimes, after a long flight playing games on your smartphone, your battery could end up dead. And if you didn’t write down where you’re staying, how will you tell the taxi driver? ____19____ Read a book about the country. Before you travel to a new country, I recommend reading a good book about it to learn more about its history and culture before you arrive. ____20____ Your travel experience will be different if you already know about your destination. A. Pick a starting point. B. Be flexible and don’t over plan. C. Then just let the universe determine the rest. D. You are sure to benefit from these simple images. E. This could be as simple as a popular novel by a local author. F. Not being able to communicate while traveling can be frustrating. G. I also recommend noting down your room number after you check in. 【答案】16. B 17. C 18. F 19. G 20. E 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了作者给读者的一些最佳旅行计划建议，帮助读者有一次愉快的旅行。 【16题详解】 根据下文“I don’t know how to answer when readers ask how many days they should spend traveling in a particular country or city.(当读者问我应该在某个特定的国家或城市旅行多少天时，我不知道该怎么回答。)”可知，作者在此部分给出的旅行计划建议是不要过度计划在某地呆多少天，旅行计划要灵活一些。选项B“要灵活，不要过度计划”符合语境。故选B。 【17题详解】 根据上文“My advice is to pick a starting point, 1 or 2 must-do activities, and an ending point (or not).(我的建议是选择一个起点，1或2个必须做的活动，以及一个终点（或者没有）。)”和下文“Be open to changing your plans if you learn about something along the way.(如果你在路上了解到了一些新情况，要乐于改变你的计划。)”可知，作者建议旅行者选定起点和终点以及一些必须做的活动后，剩下的就顺其自然，如果在路上了解到一些新情况，要乐于改变计划。选项C“然后让一切顺其自然”符合语境。故选C。 【18题详解】 根据上文“Learn a few foreign words.(学一些外语单词。)”和下文“But remember that this is your problem, not theirs. Raising your voice doesn’t magically help Mexicans understand English.(但请记住，这是你的问题，不是他们的问题。提高嗓门并不能神奇地帮助墨西哥人理解英语。)”可知，此空应是说在旅行时不能交流会让人感到沮丧，所以作者才建议掌握一些当地语言的短语，以便能更好地和当地人交流。提高嗓门也不能帮助交流，因为这是旅行者自己的问题，当地人没有义务去理解旅行者。选项F“旅行时不能交流会让人感到沮丧”符合语境。故选F。 【19题详解】 根据上文“Sometimes, after a long flight playing games on your smartphone, your battery could end up dead. And if you didn’t write down where you’re staying, how will you tell the taxi driver.(有时候，在长途飞行中玩智能手机游戏后，你的手机可能会没电。如果你没有写下你住的地方，你怎么告诉出租车司机。)”可知，作者在此部分应是建议旅行者记下自己住的地方，以防手机没电时无法告诉出租车司机自己要去哪里。选项G“我还建议在入住后记下你的房间号”符合语境。故选G。 【20题详解】 根据上文“Before you travel to a new country, I recommend reading a good book about it to learn more about its history and culture before you arrive.(在你去一个新的国家旅行之前，我建议你读一本关于它的好书，在你到达之前了解更多关于它的历史和文化。)”和下文“Your travel experience will be different if you already know about your destination.(如果你已经了解了你的目的地，你的旅行体验将会不同。)”可知，此空应是举例说明可以读一本关于目的地的什么书，选项E“这可以简单到当地作家的一本流行小说”符合语境。故选E。 四、完形填空：本大题共15小题，共15分。 I’m a university professor at an art school.

I am going to talk about one real hero in my heart. In my opinion, a hero is someone or something that has a power of inspiring and guiding others. He was a famous physicist who studies the universe and made big achievements. He had serious physical problems, and can only move one finger. But he never gave up life, and he never stopped considering about the most difficult physics puzzles. He was Stephen Williams Hawking.

The rich smell of freshly made coffee filled the air, but I paid no attention my eyes were fixed on the shelf where the limited edition bear cups should have been. But it was empty! My heart sank, but I walked straight to the register. “Do you have any more of those bear cups in the warehouse?” I asked, leaning forward. That cup was for my sick niece, who’d been begging for it for weeks. The server, a young woman with a name tag reading “Lila”, gave a polite but apologetic smile. “I’m so sorry, ma’am. They’re selling very fast — we sell out within hours of getting a new shipment. We’ll have a new delivery on Friday, though. I can put your name and number down to set one aside for you.” My patience broke. I hit my hand on the counter and said, “No! That’s impossible!” My voice was loud, drawing looks from every corner of the store. “From downtown to the suburbs, this is the ninth Starbucks I’ve been to today! Nine. And everyone says ‘sold out’! But I see them online for hundreds of dollars! You’re holding them back to resell, aren’t you?!” Lila’s smile faded, but her voice stayed steady. “Ma’am, I work fifty hours a week here. The last thing I want is to bring a Starbucks cup home. We don’t keep any back — first-come, first-served. Even regular customers struggle to get one. Can I get you a drink or something to eat? Our lemon loaf just came out warm.” Anger made my cheeks burn. “Forget it!” I hit both hands on the counter harder, then turned around and rushed out. The doorbell rang sharply behind me. As I walked away, guilt washed over me — I’d totally overreacted, but I was so desperate to see my niece smile. 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。 The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Three days later, my phone rang. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: The next day, I gathered the courage to return, determined to apologize. Lila was taking an order when she saw me; she nodded gently, indicating she’d be with me soon. When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday. I was really overwhelmed — my niece is sick, and I just wanted to make her happy.” She smiled, “I understand. Family matters most. I’ll keep one for you. Could you leave your phone number so I can call you when it comes in?”I quickly wrote it down, thanking her repeatedly. Three days later, my phone rang. It was Lila, her warm voice coming through: “Hi, this is Lila from Starbucks. The bear cup you wanted has arrived.” A surge of joy filled me, and I thanked her again. I rushed to the store right away, and when I saw the neatly placed bear cup on the counter, I knew my niece’s wish would come true. Taking the cup gently in my hands, I was already looking forward to seeing my niece’s bright smile. It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者为生病的侄女寻找限量版熊杯，跑了九家星巴克都被告知售罄，情急之下对店员莱拉大发雷霆，事后心生愧疚，决定第二天回去道歉的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“第二天，我鼓起勇气回去，决心道歉。”可知，第一段可描写作者找到莱拉并真诚道歉，说明自己发火的原因，莱拉表示理解并答应为她预留熊杯，作者留下电话号码并再三感谢。 ②由第二段首句内容“三天后，我的电话响了。”可知，第二段可描写电话是莱拉打来的，告知熊杯已到，作者十分开心，立刻赶往店里拿到杯子，满心期待侄女的笑容，也感激莱拉的善意。 2. 续写线索：回去道歉——说明缘由——莱拉理解并答应预留——留下电话——莱拉来电告知杯子到货——赶往店里拿杯子——感激善意、期待侄女笑容 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①道歉：apologize/say sorry ②预留：keep/set aside ③赶往：rush/hurry 情绪类 ①开心：joy/happiness ②宽慰：relief/comfort/reassurance 【点睛】[高分句型1] When she came over, I lowered my head slightly and said, “Lila, I’m truly sorry for yelling at you yesterday.（运用了when引导时间状语从句） [高分句型2] It was Lila’s kindness that had turned my anxiety into relief.（运用了强调句型“It’s...that...”强调主语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
