Their coach, Brendan King, never contacted them on a Sunday. But on this Sunday, he said he needed them back at the gym. The score had been miscounted in last night’s 44-43 win, he told them. Players were puzzled: What did this mean for the rest of their tournament? But within 20 minutes, the team decided there was only one thing left to do. The district championship game against Apache was intense. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by 14 points. After King called one last timeout, Academy played as if they had nothing to lose, sinking shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then, with two minutes left to go, the referee blew the whistle. There was a difference between scoreboard and scorebook. The scoreboard had Academy down by 4 points; the scorebook had them down by 2. League rules state that the score follows the scorebook. The scoreboard was updated to 43-41. Play continued. Academy freshman Lily Payne hit a 3-point to top Apache by a point. Players cheered wildly. But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling. That night, King watched the entire thing through, calculating every point. By his count, Academy had lost the game by a point. Just a minute before the referee stopped the game, an Academy shot went up and rolled around the rim (篮筐). The crowd roared, sure that it was bound to drop into the basket…but then it didn’t. Instead, it came down for a rebound. King suspects that the recordkeeper had a poor angle and thought it had gone in. With his team’s support, King made the 90-minute drive to Apache to deliver the trophy to its rightful champions. “He didn’t have to do that.” Apache coach Amy Meriwether told the Times. “Most coaches wouldn’t have”. 24．(2.5分)Why did King contact the players on Sunday? A．To inform them of the rest of their tournament. B．To admit his mistake in judging the final shot. C．To tell them about the incorrect game scores. D．To celebrate the victory with them. 25．(2.5分)What decided the final score? A．The written scorebook. B．The real-time scoreboard. C．Players’ rough judgment. D．Audience’s visual memory. 26．(2.5分)What was King’s feeling when he walked to the locker room? A．Strong competitive desire. B．Wild joyful excitement. C．Deep angry complaint. D．Inner uneasy doubt. 27．(2.5分)What is the main theme of the story? A．Honesty matters above victory. B．Team spirit wins tough games. C．Fair rules guarantee matches. D．Sport skills decide success. 【答案】24．C 25．A 26．D 27．A 【导语】本文讲述篮球教练金发现计分失误，主动归还冠军奖杯，诠释体育诚信高于胜利的道理。 【详解】24．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“But on this Sunday, he said he needed them back at the gym. The score had been miscounted in last night’s 44-43 win, he told them.(但在这个周日，他说需要队员们回到体育馆。他告诉队员们，昨晚44比43的胜利比赛出现了计分错误)”可知，金教练周日联系队员是为了告知他们比赛分数统计有误。 25．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“League rules state that the score follows the scorebook.(联赛规则规定，比赛分数以计分簿为准)”可知，书面计分簿决定了最终比赛分数。 26．推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Players cheered wildly. But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling.(队员们疯狂欢呼，但金却怀着沉重的心情走向更衣室)”以及第四段他复盘比赛、怀疑计分出错的内容可知，金教练内心不安、心存疑虑。 27．主旨大意题。根据第四段中的“That night, King watched the entire thing through, calculating every point. By his count, Academy had lost the game by a point.(当晚，金完整回看了整场比赛，计算每一个得分。按照他的统计，学院队以一分之差输掉了比赛)”以及第五段“With his team’s support, King made the 90-minute drive to Apache to deliver the trophy to its rightful champions.(在队员们的支持下，金驱车90分钟前往阿帕奇队，将奖杯交还给真正的冠军)”可知，球队因计分失误意外取胜，教练主动承认问题、归还奖杯，体现出诚信比胜利更重要，因此本文的主旨是“诚信比胜利重要”。 （本题10分）The Night of the Radishes (萝卜) is a centuries-old event held on December 23 every year in Oaxaca, Mexico, where people carve oversized radishes into scenes for a competition. The radishes grown for the competition are different from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Most often, they’re not very tasty. Instead, they’re used as artists’ canvas and hand-carved into different festive scenes. There are two primary radish-carving types in the modern-day Night of the Radishes competition — traditional or free. The traditional one requires the radish works to reflect the Oaxacan culture and festivals. The free type allows entrants to carve anything they want. The tradition of carving radishes dates back to the late 19th century, when Oaxaca’s farmers would attract buyers’ attention in the Zócalo, the city’s main square, by creatively showing their seasonal produce. Oaxaca’s long-standing wood carving tradition also plays a part. At some point, local wood carvers showed interest in the big radishes on display and decided to carve them into eye-catching scenes in the hope of making an extra sale. In 1897, Oaxaca’s Municipal President, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to make the radish-carved scene tradition official and created a competition to be held on Dec.23. Today, the radish festival’s cultural roots remain the same. Early on the morning of December 23, Oaxaca’s main square is changed into an exhibition (展览) space. Competitors begin to work on their radishes at first light. Their works will formally be judged by mid-afternoon. More than 120,000 Mexican pesos（around $ 6,000）are on the line for the best designs, which are decided by a respected judging team made up of officials, previous winners and artists, who will award the prizes at 18:00. As night draws in, competitors can carry their masterpieces back home. These radishes will be shown on mantelpieces (壁炉架) or outside homes for a few more hours before the white radish flesh begins to turn brown and soften. In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost (肥料), from which new radishes can grow the next year. 28．(2.5分)How would you describe competition radishes? A．Big and tasteless. B．Red-white and delicious. C．Round and sweet. D．Sharp and strange in shapes. 29．(2.5分)What played a role in starting the radish-carving tradition? A．Market public preferences. B．Long history of local wood carving. C．The city’s official food festival. D．Farmers’ need to sell cooked products. 30．(2.5分)What finally happens to the carved radishes after the festival? A．They are kept as long-term decorations. B．They are re-carved for next competition. C．They are eaten by the owners and visitors. D．They are used to help the next radishes grow. 31．(2.5分)What can be a suitable title for the text? A．A Unique Mexican Cultural Festival B．How to Make Beautiful Radish Arts C．The History of Oaxaca’s Vegetable Trade D．How Mexicans Celebrate Winter Holidays 【答案】28．A 29．B 30．D 31．A 【导语】本文主要介绍的是墨西哥瓦哈卡市（Oaxaca）一个有着数百年历史的独特文化节日——“萝卜之夜”（The Night of the Radishes） 【详解】28．细节理解题。根据第一段“The radishes grown for the competition are different from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Most often, they’re not very tasty. (用于比赛的萝卜不同于墨西哥大多数餐厅餐桌上常见的那种又小又细、红白相间的萝卜。它们通常不太好吃。)”可知，比赛用的萝卜个头大但味道寡淡。 29．细节理解题。根据第三段“Oaxaca’s long-standing wood carving tradition also plays a part. At some point, local wood carvers showed interest in the big radishes on display and decided to carve them into eye-catching scenes in the hope of making an extra sale. In 1897, Oaxaca’s Municipal President, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to make the radish-carved scene tradition official and created a competition to be held on Dec.23. (Oaxaca悠久的木雕传统也起到了一定作用。某个时候，当地的木雕匠人对展台上的大萝卜产生了兴趣，决定把它们雕刻成引人注目的场景，希望能多卖一些。1897年，Oaxaca的市长Francisco Vasconcelos决定将萝卜雕刻场景的传统正式化，并创建了一个在12月23日举行的比赛。)”可知，当地悠久的木雕历史促成了萝卜雕刻这一传统的兴起。 30．细节理解题。根据最后一段“In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost (肥料), from which new radishes can grow the next year. (24小时后，它们就只能用作堆肥了，而新的萝卜可以在次年从这些堆肥中生长出来。)”可知，节日过后，被雕刻的萝卜会被用来培育新萝卜。 31．主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“The Night of the Radishes (萝卜) is a centuries-old event held on December 23 every year in Oaxaca, Mexico, where people carve oversized radishes into scenes for a competition. (“萝卜之夜”是一项有着数百年历史的活动，每年12月23日在墨西哥瓦哈卡市举行，人们将超大的萝卜雕刻成各种场景进行比赛。)”可知，本文主要介绍的是墨西哥瓦哈卡市（Oaxaca）一个有着数百年历史的独特文化节日——“萝卜之夜”（The Night of the Radishes），因此最恰当的标题是A选项“A Unique Mexican Cultural Festival (一个独特的墨西哥文化节)”。 （本题10分）After a competitive event, three medalists stand on the podium (领奖台) and receive a round of applause from the crowd, but their levels of happiness aren’t equal. While it is believed that the higher the rank, the happier the medalist, psychological studies reveal it is not the case. Bronze (铜牌) medalists often express greater joy and satisfaction than those who finish in second place. Researchers from the Carlson School of Management, who used facial expression software to compare the expressions of medalists at three different ranks, further confirmed that bronze medalists were more likely to exhibit a smile than silver medalists. This surprising result can be explained by counterfactual thinking, a mental process of imagining alternative outcomes to events that have already occurred. Silver medalists are frequently observed to experience regret and disappointment. For them, it’s a shame that they missed out on the top prize. They tend to imagine the alternate reality where they win gold, which is known as upward comparison. Their sense of nearly achieving victory can cast a shadow over their accomplishments and lead them to feel unsuccessful. On the other hand, bronze medalists compare their achievement to the alternative of not winning a medal at all. This downward comparison brings them relief and gratitude because they feel fortunate just to be on the podium. The thought of “at least I won a medal” gives them satisfaction with their accomplishment. While silver medalists center on “almost winning,” bronze medalists find joy in making it onto the podium. This shows that contentment often depends less on the outcome itself, but more on how we frame it. By focusing on what we have rather than what we miss, we might find more happiness in our lives. 32．(2.5分)What is true about the medalists’ happiness? A．It is equal among the medalists. B．The bronze medalists feel happier. C．The higher the rank, the happier. D．The silver medalists express the greatest joy. 33．(2.5分)What is counterfactual thinking? A．Feeling successful and fortunate. B．Experiencing alternative outcomes. C．Imagining the results would have been different. D．Comparing accomplishments among the medalists. 34．(2.5分)How do silver medalists usually feel about their achievement? A．Regretful and disappointed. B．Very satisfied and proud. C．Indifferent and neutral. D．Grateful and relieved. 35．(2.5分)What is the main message of the passage? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. 【答案】32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍赛事获奖者中铜牌得主常比银牌得主更开心的现象，并从反事实思维角度解析原因，点明幸福感取决于看待结果的方式。 【详解】32．细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Bronze (铜牌) medalists often express greater joy and satisfaction than those who finish in second place. Researchers from the Carlson School of Management, who used facial expression software to compare the expressions of medalists at three different ranks, further confirmed that bronze medalists were more likely to exhibit a smile than silver medalists.(铜牌得主往往比银牌得主表现出更多的喜悦与满足感。卡尔森管理学院的研究人员借助面部表情软件，对比了三个不同名次获奖者的面部表情，进一步证实铜牌得主比银牌得主更有可能露出笑容)可知，铜牌获得者会感到更开心。故选B项。 33．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“This surprising result can be explained by counterfactual thinking, a mental process of imagining alternative outcomes to events that have already occurred.(这一令人惊讶的结果可以用反事实思维来解释，即想象已经发生的事件的其他结果的心理过程)可知，反事实思维是想象已经发生的事情本会有不同的结果。故选C项。 34．细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Silver medalists are frequently observed to experience regret and disappointment. For them, it’s a shame that they missed out on the top prize. They tend to imagine the alternate reality where they win gold, which is known as upward comparison. Their sense of nearly achieving victory can cast a shadow over their accomplishments and lead them to feel unsuccessful.(人们常常发现，银牌得主会心生遗憾与失落。对他们而言，错失金牌是一大憾事。他们总忍不住想象自己夺得金牌的另一种可能，这种心理被称为向上对比。那份差一点就能夺冠的心情，会给他们的成就蒙上一层阴影，让他们产生挫败感)可知，银牌得主对自己的成绩通常感到遗憾和失望。故选A项。 35．推理判断题。通读全文，文章核心介绍了银牌得主因向上对比感到遗憾，铜牌得主因向下对比感到满足的现象，最后点明“This shows that contentment often depends less on the outcome itself, but more on how we frame it. By focusing on what we have rather than what we miss, we might find more happiness in our lives.(这表明，内心的满足感往往不在于结果本身，而更多取决于我们如何看待它。专注于自己所拥有的，而非那些错失的，我们便能在生活中收获更多的幸福感)可知，D项“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”(一鸟在手胜过双鸟在林)，寓意珍惜当下拥有的，符合文章的主要信息。故选D项。 （本题12.5分）How to Be a Better Player in Sports Do you want to improve your performance in sports?

Don’t let a bad game get you down.(你将不可避免地面临困难，有时还会输掉比赛，这完全没关系。不要让一场糟糕的比赛让你沮丧)”可知，此处应具体说明良好心态的内涵，即面对困难保持积极，B选项“Stay positive even when you face difficulties.(即使面对困难也要保持积极)”衔接上文“心态重要性”，又呼应下文“面对困难和失败不沮丧”的内容，符合语境。故选B项。 40．根据上文“In addition, learning from others is another great way to improve your skills.(此外，向他人学习是提升技能的另一个好方法)”以及下文“Asking your coaches for advice is also very helpful.(向你的教练寻求建议也非常有帮助)”可知，此处应举例说明向他人学习的具体方式，D选项“You can learn a lot by watching how skilled players perform.(通过观察熟练运动员的表现，你可以学到很多东西)”承接上文“向他人学习”的核心，且与下文“向教练请教”构成并列的学习方式，符合语境。故选D项。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）I had many adventures as a child, but one stands out on the local football pitch at Pacaembu, Brazil, the legendary cradle of football geniuses.

I had to walk the rest of the way, 49 my heavy kitbag. People gaped at my face in shock, but I kept moving. The long walk home felt like a lonely march of 50 . When I finally arrived, my grandmother treated the wound with warm turmeric. Seeing my downcast eyes, she whispered, “The mark on your face isn’t a sign of failure, but a proof of your 51 . You stood where others wouldn’t.” Her words 52 me faster than the medicine. That wasn’t the only time I got hurt on those overused pitches.

The wind and the rain were cold, and the sun had not yet appeared to warm the day. The starting gun was about to go off any second, and I was ready. At 28, I felt I was in the best shape of my life. I thought I was completely prepared, having run regularly and participated in several races. But none of those races had been as long as a marathon — 26.2 miles. The longest distance I had run before was just 15 miles. But I was young, full of confidence, and certain that I could make it. When the gun went off, the race began. I was filled with excitement, and soon the cold weather seemed like nothing to worry about. I focused only on maintaining my position among the other runners. At first, I did have a specific goal in mind — to finish in under four hours. Once I settled into my pace (步伐), though, I quickly realized the goal was well within reach. After a few miles, I passed an older runner. He looked to be at least 70 years old, and I was surprised to see him in the race. What surprised me even more was that he was ahead of me. He was running slowly, but he kept a steady rhythm (节奏). I passed him without saying a word or offering any encouragement, just continuing to focus on my own race. By the time I reached the 15-mile mark, I was still on track to finish in under four hours. However, I began to feel tired. My original goal quickly changed from under four hours to four hours and ten minutes, then four hours and 20 minutes. By the time I reached the 20-mile mark, I was out of breath and had to stop running and walk. I moved to the side of the road, struggling to keep my legs moving. 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。 And then, to my surprise, the elderly man passed me again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ His words struck me hard, and I pushed myself to continue running. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 And then, to my surprise, the elderly man passed me again. He was still moving effortlessly, and his rhythm remained steady despite the heavy rain and strong winds. I was struggling to keep moving, but there he was, running at the same calm pace as before. As he passed, he gave me a smile and said, “You’re almost there, young man. Just keep going!” His energy, which seemed endless, filled me with a mixture of admiration and frustration. How could he maintain such a steady rhythm? I couldn’t let him outpace me again. His words struck me hard, and I pushed myself to continue running. I focused on every step, telling myself that I could keep up with him. The race wasn’t just about beating others; it was about pushing my own limits and finding out how far I could go. As I neared the finish line, I couldn’t catch him, but I was proud of the effort I had put in. The elderly man had taught me an important lesson: It’s not about how fast you run, but how you keep going, no matter what challenges you face. 【导语】本文以人物心理变化为线索展开，讲述了作者在马拉松比赛中从信心满满到疲惫不堪，最后被一位年长跑者激励而坚持完成比赛的经历。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者看到年长者再次超过自己时的惊讶、钦佩以及内心的触动，以及年长者鼓励的话语。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者在年长者鼓励下重新振作、坚持奔跑，最终完成比赛并从中获得人生感悟。 2.续写线索：年长者再次超过——作者惊讶与钦佩——年长者给予鼓励——作者受到触动——坚持奔跑——冲向终点——获得感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①精力集中于：focus on/ fix one’s attention on ②告诉：tell/inform ③教：teach/instruct 情绪类 ①钦佩：admiration/esteem ②自豪：be proud/ take pride in 【点睛】[高分句型1] I focused on every step, telling myself that I could keep up with him.（使用现在分词短语作状语以及that引导宾语从句） [高分句型2] His energy, which seemed endless, filled me with a mixture of admiration and frustration.（使用关系代词which引导的定语从句） 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 3 Faster, Higher, Stronger（较易版01）（解析版） 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分） Which team is the woman’s daughter in?

Their coach, Brendan King, never contacted them on a Sunday. But on this Sunday, he said he needed them back at the gym. The score had been miscounted in last night’s 44-43 win, he told them. Players were puzzled: What did this mean for the rest of their tournament? But within 20 minutes, the team decided there was only one thing left to do. The district championship game against Apache was intense. Scoring was back and forth until the fourth quarter, when Apache pulled away by 14 points. After King called one last timeout, Academy played as if they had nothing to lose, sinking shot after shot to pull within a few points of Apache. Then, with two minutes left to go, the referee blew the whistle. There was a difference between scoreboard and scorebook. The scoreboard had Academy down by 4 points; the scorebook had them down by 2. League rules state that the score follows the scorebook. The scoreboard was updated to 43-41. Play continued. Academy freshman Lily Payne hit a 3-point to top Apache by a point. Players cheered wildly. But King walked to the locker room with a sinking feeling. That night, King watched the entire thing through, calculating every point. By his count, Academy had lost the game by a point. Just a minute before the referee stopped the game, an Academy shot went up and rolled around the rim (篮筐). The crowd roared, sure that it was bound to drop into the basket…but then it didn’t. Instead, it came down for a rebound. King suspects that the recordkeeper had a poor angle and thought it had gone in. With his team’s support, King made the 90-minute drive to Apache to deliver the trophy to its rightful champions. “He didn’t have to do that.” Apache coach Amy Meriwether told the Times. “Most coaches wouldn’t have”. 24．(2.5分)Why did King contact the players on Sunday? A．To inform them of the rest of their tournament. B．To admit his mistake in judging the final shot. C．To tell them about the incorrect game scores. D．To celebrate the victory with them. 25．(2.5分)What decided the final score? A．The written scorebook. B．The real-time scoreboard. C．Players’ rough judgment. D．Audience’s visual memory. 26．(2.5分)What was King’s feeling when he walked to the locker room? A．Strong competitive desire. B．Wild joyful excitement. C．Deep angry complaint. D．Inner uneasy doubt. 27．(2.5分)What is the main theme of the story? A．Honesty matters above victory. B．Team spirit wins tough games. C．Fair rules guarantee matches. D．Sport skills decide success. （本题10分）The Night of the Radishes (萝卜) is a centuries-old event held on December 23 every year in Oaxaca, Mexico, where people carve oversized radishes into scenes for a competition. The radishes grown for the competition are different from the small, thin, red and white ones that are commonly on the tables of most restaurants in Mexico. Most often, they’re not very tasty. Instead, they’re used as artists’ canvas and hand-carved into different festive scenes. There are two primary radish-carving types in the modern-day Night of the Radishes competition — traditional or free. The traditional one requires the radish works to reflect the Oaxacan culture and festivals. The free type allows entrants to carve anything they want. The tradition of carving radishes dates back to the late 19th century, when Oaxaca’s farmers would attract buyers’ attention in the Zócalo, the city’s main square, by creatively showing their seasonal produce. Oaxaca’s long-standing wood carving tradition also plays a part. At some point, local wood carvers showed interest in the big radishes on display and decided to carve them into eye-catching scenes in the hope of making an extra sale. In 1897, Oaxaca’s Municipal President, Francisco Vasconcelos, decided to make the radish-carved scene tradition official and created a competition to be held on Dec.23. Today, the radish festival’s cultural roots remain the same. Early on the morning of December 23, Oaxaca’s main square is changed into an exhibition (展览) space. Competitors begin to work on their radishes at first light. Their works will formally be judged by mid-afternoon. More than 120,000 Mexican pesos（around $ 6,000）are on the line for the best designs, which are decided by a respected judging team made up of officials, previous winners and artists, who will award the prizes at 18:00. As night draws in, competitors can carry their masterpieces back home. These radishes will be shown on mantelpieces (壁炉架) or outside homes for a few more hours before the white radish flesh begins to turn brown and soften. In 24 hours, they’ll be only good for compost (肥料), from which new radishes can grow the next year. 28．(2.5分)How would you describe competition radishes? A．Big and tasteless.

While it is believed that the higher the rank, the happier the medalist, psychological studies reveal it is not the case. Bronze (铜牌) medalists often express greater joy and satisfaction than those who finish in second place. Researchers from the Carlson School of Management, who used facial expression software to compare the expressions of medalists at three different ranks, further confirmed that bronze medalists were more likely to exhibit a smile than silver medalists. This surprising result can be explained by counterfactual thinking, a mental process of imagining alternative outcomes to events that have already occurred. Silver medalists are frequently observed to experience regret and disappointment. For them, it’s a shame that they missed out on the top prize. They tend to imagine the alternate reality where they win gold, which is known as upward comparison. Their sense of nearly achieving victory can cast a shadow over their accomplishments and lead them to feel unsuccessful. On the other hand, bronze medalists compare their achievement to the alternative of not winning a medal at all. This downward comparison brings them relief and gratitude because they feel fortunate just to be on the podium. The thought of “at least I won a medal” gives them satisfaction with their accomplishment. While silver medalists center on “almost winning,” bronze medalists find joy in making it onto the podium. This shows that contentment often depends less on the outcome itself, but more on how we frame it. By focusing on what we have rather than what we miss, we might find more happiness in our lives. 32．(2.5分)What is true about the medalists’ happiness? A．It is equal among the medalists. B．The bronze medalists feel happier. C．The higher the rank, the happier. D．The silver medalists express the greatest joy. 33．(2.5分)What is counterfactual thinking? A．Feeling successful and fortunate. B．Experiencing alternative outcomes. C．Imagining the results would have been different. D．Comparing accomplishments among the medalists. 34．(2.5分)How do silver medalists usually feel about their achievement? A．Regretful and disappointed. B．Very satisfied and proud. C．Indifferent and neutral. D．Grateful and relieved. 35．(2.5分)What is the main message of the passage? A．Every cloud has a silver lining. B．Don’t judge a book by its cover. C．Don’t count your chickens before they hatch. D．A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. （本题12.5分）How to Be a Better Player in Sports Do you want to improve your performance in sports?

The wind and the rain were cold, and the sun had not yet appeared to warm the day. The starting gun was about to go off any second, and I was ready. At 28, I felt I was in the best shape of my life. I thought I was completely prepared, having run regularly and participated in several races. But none of those races had been as long as a marathon — 26.2 miles. The longest distance I had run before was just 15 miles. But I was young, full of confidence, and certain that I could make it. When the gun went off, the race began. I was filled with excitement, and soon the cold weather seemed like nothing to worry about. I focused only on maintaining my position among the other runners. At first, I did have a specific goal in mind — to finish in under four hours. Once I settled into my pace (步伐), though, I quickly realized the goal was well within reach. After a few miles, I passed an older runner. He looked to be at least 70 years old, and I was surprised to see him in the race. What surprised me even more was that he was ahead of me. He was running slowly, but he kept a steady rhythm (节奏). I passed him without saying a word or offering any encouragement, just continuing to focus on my own race. By the time I reached the 15-mile mark, I was still on track to finish in under four hours. However, I began to feel tired. My original goal quickly changed from under four hours to four hours and ten minutes, then four hours and 20 minutes. By the time I reached the 20-mile mark, I was out of breath and had to stop running and walk. I moved to the side of the road, struggling to keep my legs moving. 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。 And then, to my surprise, the elderly man passed me again. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ His words struck me hard, and I pushed myself to continue running. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 试卷第1页，共3页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
