In 2008, he founded Pristine Seas, a project that combines exploration, research, public policy and media to inspire the creation of ocean protection areas. It aims to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 for the benefit of nature and humanity. Less than 8% is currently protected. To date, the project has helped to create 29 of the largest ocean reserves on the planet, covering an area of over 6.9 million square kilometers, which is twice the size of India. The achievements are the result of Enric’s 36 trips across the globe, from the Southern Line Islands to Greenland and Alaska. The ongoing ocean protection efforts reflect Enric’s lifelong passion. He says he admires a famous French filmmaker and undersea explorer. Growing up in Catalonia in the 1970s, he would sit in front of the TV watching his hero every Sunday. He was fascinated by the amazing places, the brave underwater explorers and the wonderful creatures. That was all he wanted to do in his life. Enric writes that in the last century alone, humans have removed over 90% of the ocean’s large fish, yet less than 8% of the ocean is under protection. It is possible to make the ocean continuously beneficial to people and the planet. All humans must do is to rewild the sea. In his book, The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild, published in 2020, Enric writes that preserving the planet’s wild places, on land and in the ocean, is essential for our continued existence and financial well-being. The process of rewilding, or recovering and protecting natural processes, allows nature to do the hard work for us. Mentioning the successes of wildlife recovery in Yellowstone National Park, Mozambique National Parks, and the Southern Line Islands, Enric adds that our natural world can be a lasting and strong engine of regeneration, and that we just need to give it some space. 4. What can we learn about the Pristine Seas project’s achievements? A. It protected over 90% of large fish. B. It helped create 29 ocean reserves. C. It doubled the size of wild habitats. D. It completed 36 trips to Africa safely. 5. What inspired Enric Sala’s career choice as a child? A. A TV hero exploring the ocean. B. A film about undersea creatures. C. A book by a French filmmaker. D. A trip to the Southern Line Islands. 6. Why is rewilding the ocean important according to Enric? A. It supports further ocean exploration work. B. It draws more people to protect marine life. C. It matters to human survival and economy. D. It enlarges the area of current ocean reserves. 7. What does Enric mainly stress in the last paragraph? A. Nature can renew itself if given enough space. B. We should learn from past protection projects. C. Wildlife recovery can’t be completely achieved. D. Many national parks have achieved great success. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍海洋研究者恩里克·萨拉发起海洋保护项目，讲述其从业缘由，阐述海洋再野生化对人类的重要意义。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“To date, the project has helped to create 29 of the largest ocean reserves on the planet, covering an area of over 6.9 million square kilometers, which is twice the size of India.(迄今为止，该项目已助力建立29个全球规模最大的海洋保护区，覆盖面积超过690万平方公里，是印度国土面积的两倍。)”可知，该项目取得的成果是帮助建成29个海洋保护区。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Growing up in Catalonia in the 1970s, he would sit in front of the TV watching his hero every Sunday. He was fascinated by the amazing places, the brave underwater explorers and the wonderful creatures. That was all he wanted to do in his life.(20世纪70年代，他在加泰罗尼亚长大，每个周日都会坐在电视机前观看自己心目中的偶像。那些奇妙的地点、勇敢的水下探险家以及神奇的生物深深吸引了他。那就是他毕生想要做的事。)”可知，儿时电视上这位探索海洋的偶像促使他做出职业选择。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“In his book, The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild, published in 2020, Enric writes that preserving the planet’s wild places, on land and in the ocean, is essential for our continued existence and financial well-being. (恩里克在其2020年出版的著作《自然的本质：我们为何需要荒野》中写道，保护地球上陆地与海洋的荒野地带，对人类的持续生存与经济福祉至关重要。)”可知，海洋再野生化十分重要，因为它关乎人类生存与经济状况。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中的“Mentioning the successes of wildlife recovery in Yellowstone National Park, Mozambique National Parks, and the Southern Line Islands, Enric adds that our natural world can be a lasting and strong engine of regeneration, and that we just need to give it some space.(恩里克提到黄石国家公园、莫桑比克国家公园以及南莱恩群岛野生动物恢复取得的成功，补充道自然界可以成为持久且强大的修复动力，我们只需要给予它一定的空间。)”可知，本段主要强调给予足够空间，大自然便能够自我恢复。 C Many people know that helping others feels good. But now, a new US study shows it might actually be good for your brain, too. Researchers followed over 30,000 adults for 20 years, studying how thinking skills changed over time and comparing this with helping frequency. Those who regularly gave their time to help others had brains that aged more slowly. Their thinking ability declined 15 to 20 percent less than that of those who helped others less frequently. The help did not have to be formal volunteering. Both formal and informal support worked. Formal helping included volunteering for a charity or community group. Informal helping meant simple acts like giving a neighbor a ride to the doctor’s or babysitting for a friend. Regular small actions brought great merits, with the best results at two to four hours of helping per week. The study also used data from the Health and Retirement Study, tracking Americans over age 51. What made the study stand out was that researchers considered other interfering (干扰) factors affecting brain health, such as education, income, and physical and mental health. Even after adjusting for these influences, the link between helping others and slower thinking decline remained strong. People who stopped helping others completely had poorer brain function. This research adds to growing evidence that helping others is not just good for communities, but also for the people doing it. It may reduce stress, make people happier, and give them a sense of purpose. In fact, the same research team recently found that helping others also lowers stress-related inflammation (炎症) in the body. Inflammation is linked to many health problems, including memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer’s. As people get older and face risks of feeling lonely or isolated, this study shows the importance of keeping them involved in meaningful ways. “Many older adults can still give a lot to the people around them,” said lead researcher Sae Hwang Han. “And they may also be the ones who receive the greatest rewards from continuing to help.” 8. What did the new study in the USA find about helping others? A. It lowers physical health risks. B. It makes people feel anxious daily. C. It slows down brain aging. D. It helps communities grow faster. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “merits” in paragraph 3? A. Difficulties. B. Advantages. C. Reputations. D. Mistakes. 10. What can be concluded about the research design? A. It studied only memory-loss patients. B. It ignored people’s mental health. C. It removed various interfering elements. D. It surveyed people of various ages. 11. Why does the author include Han’s words in the last paragraph? A. To question the study’s conclusion. B. To call on young people to volunteer more. C. To criticize society’s view on aging. D. To suggest a solution for seniors’ loneliness. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍美国一项新研究，说明帮助他人有益于大脑，分析相关研究细节，并阐述该行为对老年人的现实意义。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Those who regularly gave their time to help others had brains that aged more slowly. Their thinking ability declined 15 to 20 percent less than that of those who helped others less frequently.(那些经常抽出时间帮助他人的人群，大脑衰老速度更慢。他们思维能力的衰退幅度，比不常帮助别人的人低15%‑20%。)” 可知，这项美国新研究发现帮助他人能够减缓大脑衰老。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“Regular small actions brought great merits, with the best results at two to four hours of helping per week.(经常性的微小举动带来巨大的merits，每周两至四小时的助人行为效果最佳。)”可知，本句在表达小小的助人行为可以带来很好的益处，由此推断merits含义为“好处、优势”。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What made the study stand out was that researchers considered other interfering (干扰) factors affecting brain health, such as education, income, and physical and mental health. Even after adjusting for these influences, the link between helping others and slower thinking decline remained strong. (这项研究的突出之处在于，研究人员考虑到了其他影响大脑健康的干扰因素，例如教育水平、收入以及身心健康。即便在排除这些因素的影响之后，帮助他人与思维能力衰退放缓之间的关联依旧十分显著。)”可知，该研究设计剔除了各类干扰因素。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“As people get older and face risks of feeling lonely or isolated, this study shows the importance of keeping them involved in meaningful ways. “Many older adults can still give a lot to the people around them,” said lead researcher Sae Hwang Han. “And they may also be the ones who receive the greatest rewards from continuing to help.”(随着人们年纪增长，面临孤独或与世隔绝的风险，这项研究表明让老年人以有意义的方式参与社会活动十分重要。首席研究员韩赛黄表示：“许多老年人仍然可以为身边的人付出很多，他们或许也是在持续助人的过程中收获最大回报的群体。”)”可知，作者引用这段话，意在为老年人的孤独问题提供解决思路。 D Domestic service robots once existed only in science fiction, but this dream is gradually becoming a reality. Many tech developers are now racing to create humanoid robots that can handle daily housework such as folding laundry, washing dishes, or even pushing kids on a swing. A growing number of research groups have joined in this trend over recent years. Although affordable household humanoid robots are still years away from reaching ordinary families, the whole industry is pouring plenty of effort into related research. Since a classic cartoon introduced the image of a robot maid in the 1960s, creating intelligent service robots has become a shared dream worldwide. This brand-new industry has great market potential with no clear leader yet. Nevertheless, developing fully functional humanoid robots is full of challenges. The tech industry has witnessed large-scale projects end in failure due to various difficulties. That’s why some experts suggest developers focus on more realistic AI applications first, such as robot taxis or robot vacuums (真空吸尘器). Creating a humanoid robot that can cook dinner and clean toilets is far more difficult. It requires breakthroughs in hardware, not software. Accurately imitating human muscle movements and distinguishing objects through touch is extremely costly and technically demanding. Even a revolution in artificial intelligence alone cannot overcome these physical obstacles. But AI will play a key role. Tech developers have used up most of the world’s easily accessible data for training models. What’s left is data grounded in reality — from robots that learn, like children do, how to act in the physical world. Building human-like robots that can interact with humans produces more data for AI learning, which leads to better AI that improves the robots so they can take on more jobs. Currently, many research teams are committed to humanoid robot technology and are making steady progress. Major economies have recognized that the competition to build robotic servants may be the most critical technological race of the next decade. 12. What can we know about household robots at present? A. They are serving more ordinary families. B. They face no major technical problems. C. They are attracting growing research interest. D. They have become a highly profitable industry. 13. What makes humanoid robots harder to develop than robot vacuums? A. They require more advanced hardware. B. They need more training data to learn. C. They completely depend on AI software. D. They cost too much in mass production. 14. How does AI contribute to humanoid robot development? A. By removing all physical obstacles. B. By collecting easily accessible data. C. By copying human muscle movements. D. By learning from real-world actions. 15. Which of the following can be the suitable title for the text? A. The History of Cartoon Robots. B. The Race to Build Robot Servants. C. Challenges for Robot Vacuums. D. Advantages of Home Appliances. 【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍家用人形服务机器人的研发热潮，阐述其研发难题、人工智能的作用以及各国之间的技术竞争。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A growing number of research groups have joined in this trend over recent years. Although affordable household humanoid robots are still years away from reaching ordinary families, the whole industry is pouring plenty of effort into related research.(近年来，越来越多的研究团队加入了这一趋势。虽然价格亲民的家用人形机器人距离走进普通家庭仍有数年时间，但整个行业正投入大量精力开展相关研究。)”可知，家用机器人正吸引越来越多的研究关注。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Creating a humanoid robot that can cook dinner and clean toilets is far more difficult. It requires breakthroughs in hardware, not software.(制造能够做饭、打扫卫生间的人形机器人要困难得多。它需要硬件方面取得突破，而非软件。)”可知，人形机器人比扫地机器人更难研发是因为它对硬件水平要求更高。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段中的“What’s left is data grounded in reality — from robots that learn, like children do, how to act in the physical world. Building human‑like robots that can interact with humans produces more data for AI learning, which leads to better AI that improves the robots so they can take on more jobs.(剩下的就是立足现实的数据——来自像孩子一样学习如何在现实世界行动的机器人。打造能够与人类互动的类人机器人，会为人工智能学习生成更多数据，进而催生更优质的人工智能，人工智能又会优化机器人，使其能够承担更多工作。)”可知，人工智能通过从现实世界行为当中学习，推动人形机器人发展。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“Major economies have recognized that the competition to build robotic servants may be the most critical technological race of the next decade.(主要经济体已经意识到，研发机器佣人方面的竞争或许是未来十年最为关键的技术竞赛。)”可知，文章围绕人形家用机器人的研发热潮、困难与技术竞赛展开，“研发机器仆人的竞赛”能够概括全文内容，适合作为标题。 第二节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5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。 In today’s world of rapid transformations and progress, new career paths are constantly emerging, traditional ones are being altered (改变), and shifts are occurring in occupational skills and educational requirements.

You almost forgot your snorkeling (浮潜) equipment,” my husband Peter said as he handed it to me. “Yeah, how could I forget something so important?” I replied, without enthusiasm. “Don’t worry, I’ll be right by your side the entire time,” he said. I liked swimming in the pool but I feared swimming in the ocean. I felt helpless and out of control in open waters. Since I recently had knee surgery, trusting my knee was going to be a challenge. Peter loved snorkeling. On past vacations, he had spent hours swimming in the water, while I had tried for a few minutes and then returned to the beach. Snorkeling in the Galapagos was supposed to be amazing, with various sea creatures to observe close thanks to the lack of dangerous sharks. I didn’t want to disappoint him, but I also didn’t want to have a vacation colored by anxiety. Hesitantly, I placed the snorkeling equipment in my suitcase. Hours later, we reached the island and the adventure began. We walked and observed rare species. It was incredible. On the second day, we went on a hike, and then there was a snorkeling option afterward. So, I put on my snorkeling equipment, and we chose to begin from the shore, rather than the boat, to help ease me into the depths. We started walking into the water, together with a group of people we had gotten to know. The sand was shifting under our feet as the waves rolled in. I could feel my knee being pulled this way and that, and I started panicking. I looked at Peter, shaking my head. “I don’t think I can do this! It’s hurting my knee. I don’t even know if I can swim with it very well. You go; I’ll hang out on the beach,” I said, nearly in tears. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just when I turned to leave, Peter reached for my hand, saying, “You’ll make it!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then came all the beauty. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： Just when I turned to leave, Peter reached for my hand, saying, “You’ll make it!” “Based on my experience, you’ll succeed. Besides, we’ll watch you,” he added. Motivated, I then continued walking until we could float and begin swimming. He stayed before me and constantly checked on me. All the others stayed close to me, which gave me more confidence and a sense of security. At first, all we could see was the murky water. I kept swimming. The water got colder, and the whole process of putting my face in the water while breathing was unnatural. Though nervous, I persevered, trying to fit in. Then came all the beauty. There were schools of fish, which had beautiful colors and shapes. And there were rocks covered with red starfish. I felt amazed and joyful. While swimming, we saw more amazing creatures, such as sea lions twirling and turtles gracefully gliding beneath us. We even saw various seafloor plants. The entire snorkeling was breathtaking. Had I remained on the beach, I would have missed this wonder. Now I don’t fear the sea. And I know, when I’m doing something new, I just need to try. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的浮潜经历为线索，讲述了作者因害怕海洋、担心术后膝盖，在加拉帕戈斯群岛旅行时对浮潜心存抗拒，最终在丈夫Peter和同行者的鼓励下尝试浮潜，并见证海底美景、克服恐惧的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“正当我转身要离开时，Peter伸手抓住我的手，说：‘你会成功的！’”可知，第一段可描写Peter对作者的鼓励，如描写Peter用经验打气、全程守护，以及同行者的陪伴给作者带来安全感，作者虽紧张仍坚持尝试浮潜的过程，以展现作者从退缩到鼓起勇气的转变。 ②由第二段首句内容“接着，所有的美景都呈现在眼前。”可知，第二段可描写作者看到的海底美景以及作者的感悟，如描写彩色鱼群、红色海星、海狮、海龟等生物，以展现浮潜的震撼体验，点明“勇敢尝试新事物”的主题。 2. 续写线索：Peter鼓励——同行陪伴——作者坚持尝试——见证海底美景——克服恐惧、获得感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①照看：check on/watch over/keep an eye on ②坚持：persevere/stick to ③旋转：twirl/spin ④滑行：glide/slide 情感类 ①紧张的：nervous/anxious ②惊讶的：amazed/astonished ③快乐的：joyful/delighted ④震撼的：breathtaking/shocking 【点睛】[高分句型1] All the others stayed close to me, which gave me more confidence and a sense of security.（运用了which引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2] Had I remained on the beach, I would have missed this wonder.（运用了条件状语从句虚拟语气的省略倒装结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025~2026学年度第二学期期末质量检测 高二英语试题 注意事项： 1．本试卷共10页，满分120分，时间100分钟。 2．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名和准考证号填写在答题卡上。 3．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用2B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。涂写在本试卷上无效。 4．作答非选择题时，将答案书写在答题卡上，书写在本试卷上无效。 5．考试结束后，监考员将答题卡按顺序收回，装袋整理；试卷不回收。 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段录音，每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B Enric Sala is a former university professor, and left the academic field to become a full-time marine explorer and researcher. In 2008, he founded Pristine Seas, a project that combines exploration, research, public policy and media to inspire the creation of ocean protection areas. It aims to protect at least 30% of the ocean by 2030 for the benefit of nature and humanity. Less than 8% is currently protected. To date, the project has helped to create 29 of the largest ocean reserves on the planet, covering an area of over 6.9 million square kilometers, which is twice the size of India. The achievements are the result of Enric’s 36 trips across the globe, from the Southern Line Islands to Greenland and Alaska. The ongoing ocean protection efforts reflect Enric’s lifelong passion. He says he admires a famous French filmmaker and undersea explorer. Growing up in Catalonia in the 1970s, he would sit in front of the TV watching his hero every Sunday. He was fascinated by the amazing places, the brave underwater explorers and the wonderful creatures. That was all he wanted to do in his life. Enric writes that in the last century alone, humans have removed over 90% of the ocean’s large fish, yet less than 8% of the ocean is under protection. It is possible to make the ocean continuously beneficial to people and the planet. All humans must do is to rewild the sea. In his book, The Nature of Nature: Why We Need the Wild, published in 2020, Enric writes that preserving the planet’s wild places, on land and in the ocean, is essential for our continued existence and financial well-being. The process of rewilding, or recovering and protecting natural processes, allows nature to do the hard work for us. Mentioning the successes of wildlife recovery in Yellowstone National Park, Mozambique National Parks, and the Southern Line Islands, Enric adds that our natural world can be a lasting and strong engine of regeneration, and that we just need to give it some space. 4. What can we learn about the Pristine Seas project’s achievements? A. It protected over 90% of large fish. B. It helped create 29 ocean reserves. C. It doubled the size of wild habitats. D. It completed 36 trips to Africa safely. 5. What inspired Enric Sala’s career choice as a child? A. A TV hero exploring the ocean. B. A film about undersea creatures. C. A book by a French filmmaker. D. A trip to the Southern Line Islands. 6. Why is rewilding the ocean important according to Enric? A. It supports further ocean exploration work. B. It draws more people to protect marine life. C. It matters to human survival and economy. D. It enlarges the area of current ocean reserves. 7. What does Enric mainly stress in the last paragraph? A. Nature can renew itself if given enough space. B. We should learn from past protection projects. C. Wildlife recovery can’t be completely achieved. D. Many national parks have achieved great success. C Many people know that helping others feels good. But now, a new US study shows it might actually be good for your brain, too. Researchers followed over 30,000 adults for 20 years, studying how thinking skills changed over time and comparing this with helping frequency. Those who regularly gave their time to help others had brains that aged more slowly. Their thinking ability declined 15 to 20 percent less than that of those who helped others less frequently. The help did not have to be formal volunteering. Both formal and informal support worked. Formal helping included volunteering for a charity or community group. Informal helping meant simple acts like giving a neighbor a ride to the doctor’s or babysitting for a friend. Regular small actions brought great merits, with the best results at two to four hours of helping per week. The study also used data from the Health and Retirement Study, tracking Americans over age 51. What made the study stand out was that researchers considered other interfering (干扰) factors affecting brain health, such as education, income, and physical and mental health. Even after adjusting for these influences, the link between helping others and slower thinking decline remained strong. People who stopped helping others completely had poorer brain function. This research adds to growing evidence that helping others is not just good for communities, but also for the people doing it. It may reduce stress, make people happier, and give them a sense of purpose. In fact, the same research team recently found that helping others also lowers stress-related inflammation (炎症) in the body. Inflammation is linked to many health problems, including memory loss and diseases like Alzheimer’s. As people get older and face risks of feeling lonely or isolated, this study shows the importance of keeping them involved in meaningful ways. “Many older adults can still give a lot to the people around them,” said lead researcher Sae Hwang Han. “And they may also be the ones who receive the greatest rewards from continuing to help.” 8. What did the new study in the USA find about helping others? A. It lowers physical health risks. B. It makes people feel anxious daily. C. It slows down brain aging. D. It helps communities grow faster. 9. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “merits” in paragraph 3? A. Difficulties. B. Advantages. C. Reputations. D. Mistakes. 10. What can be concluded about the research design? A. It studied only memory-loss patients. B. It ignored people’s mental health. C. It removed various interfering elements. D. It surveyed people of various ages. 11. Why does the author include Han’s words in the last paragraph? A. To question the study’s conclusion. B. To call on young people to volunteer more. C. To criticize society’s view on aging. D. To suggest a solution for seniors’ loneliness. D Domestic service robots once existed only in science fiction, but this dream is gradually becoming a reality. Many tech developers are now racing to create humanoid robots that can handle daily housework such as folding laundry, washing dishes, or even pushing kids on a swing. A growing number of research groups have joined in this trend over recent years. Although affordable household humanoid robots are still years away from reaching ordinary families, the whole industry is pouring plenty of effort into related research. Since a classic cartoon introduced the image of a robot maid in the 1960s, creating intelligent service robots has become a shared dream worldwide. This brand-new industry has great market potential with no clear leader yet. Nevertheless, developing fully functional humanoid robots is full of challenges. The tech industry has witnessed large-scale projects end in failure due to various difficulties. That’s why some experts suggest developers focus on more realistic AI applications first, such as robot taxis or robot vacuums (真空吸尘器). Creating a humanoid robot that can cook dinner and clean toilets is far more difficult. It requires breakthroughs in hardware, not software. Accurately imitating human muscle movements and distinguishing objects through touch is extremely costly and technically demanding. Even a revolution in artificial intelligence alone cannot overcome these physical obstacles. But AI will play a key role. Tech developers have used up most of the world’s easily accessible data for training models. What’s left is data grounded in reality — from robots that learn, like children do, how to act in the physical world. Building human-like robots that can interact with humans produces more data for AI learning, which leads to better AI that improves the robots so they can take on more jobs. Currently, many research teams are committed to humanoid robot technology and are making steady progress. Major economies have recognized that the competition to build robotic servants may be the most critical technological race of the next decade. 12. What can we know about household robots at present?

You almost forgot your snorkeling (浮潜) equipment,” my husband Peter said as he handed it to me. “Yeah, how could I forget something so important?” I replied, without enthusiasm. “Don’t worry, I’ll be right by your side the entire time,” he said. I liked swimming in the pool but I feared swimming in the ocean. I felt helpless and out of control in open waters. Since I recently had knee surgery, trusting my knee was going to be a challenge. Peter loved snorkeling. On past vacations, he had spent hours swimming in the water, while I had tried for a few minutes and then returned to the beach. Snorkeling in the Galapagos was supposed to be amazing, with various sea creatures to observe close thanks to the lack of dangerous sharks. I didn’t want to disappoint him, but I also didn’t want to have a vacation colored by anxiety. Hesitantly, I placed the snorkeling equipment in my suitcase. Hours later, we reached the island and the adventure began. We walked and observed rare species. It was incredible. On the second day, we went on a hike, and then there was a snorkeling option afterward. So, I put on my snorkeling equipment, and we chose to begin from the shore, rather than the boat, to help ease me into the depths. We started walking into the water, together with a group of people we had gotten to know. The sand was shifting under our feet as the waves rolled in. I could feel my knee being pulled this way and that, and I started panicking. I looked at Peter, shaking my head. “I don’t think I can do this! It’s hurting my knee. I don’t even know if I can swim with it very well. You go; I’ll hang out on the beach,” I said, nearly in tears. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Just when I turned to leave, Peter reached for my hand, saying, “You’ll make it!” ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Then came all the beauty. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
