B Fu Mingxia has spent nearly a decade tracking a shadow. She knows its weight from its footprints, its diet from its waste, its route from broken bamboo stems. But the giant panda itself remains a creature she has never seen in the wild. Each morning, she and her team hike the misty trails of Sichuan’s Daxiangling mountains, scanning the forest floor for spindle-shaped ‌(纺锤形)‌ droppings. When they find one, they celebrate — a quiet nod, a brief smile, then a careful measurement. Once, a fresh pile made her heart race. Now, its increasing frequency tells a story more powerful than any sighting. Today, Fu stops before a strange boundary. On her left stand tall firs ‌(冷杉)‌, their canopies ‌(林冠)‌ so dense that sunlight barely reaches the ground. The earth is bare. On her right, sunbeams pass through the leaves, lighting up bush and bamboo waving in the breeze. Birds call. Insects hum. “This is what we planted after logging stopped,” she says, pointing left. “Nice trees, but useless for wildlife.” She steps into the sunlight on the right. “This is what we’re building now.” For years, her team has cleared thick vines (藤), replanted local young trees, and tended them for three seasons. They have linked separate bamboo patches into green pathways, so pandas can move freely, find food, and meet mates. Some 467 hectares have been restored. Back at the monitoring station, Fu goes through images from hundreds of infrared ‌(红外线的)‌ cameras. That morning alone, the system recorded 72 mammal and 12 bird detections. Pandas were feeding on shoots. Mothers were leading babies. Deer were stepping quietly through the undergrowth ‌(下木层)‌. She stops on one picture: a panda, half-hidden in bamboo, chewing calmly. She studies its face — a face she has never seen in person, yet knows better than most. A colleague jokes, “One day you’ll meet one.” Fu smiles. “Maybe,” she says, closing the laptop. “But some things are more precious when seen through the signs they leave behind.” 4. What does the “shadow” refer to? A. The giant panda. B. The misty forest. C. A hidden danger. D. A lost memory. 5. Why does the author describe the left side of the boundary? A. To praise the beauty of tall firs. B. To explain why logging was banned. C. To offer a contrast to current efforts. D. To compare two types of bamboo forests. 6. What does the camera data mainly indicate about the area? A. The bamboo forest is expanding. B. Panda numbers are steadily rising. C. Human activity has been reduced. D. The wildlife has become more diverse. 7. How does Fu feel about her work? A. Disappointed. B. Content. C. Hopeful. D. Critical. C The phrase “the world’s smallest violin” is used to joke about someone who’s feeling sorry for themselves, but for some scientists, it’s a mark of pride. Thanks to the latest nanotechnology, which is a scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are incredibly tiny, a team at the United Kingdom’s Loughborough University recently created what is literally the world’s smallest violin. It’s made of a metal called platinum, and measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide — a micron is one millionth of a meter. The “instrument” is thinner than a human hair and makes tiny tardigrades, also called water bears, look big. Don’t expect to hear any pieces of music played on it, however. In this case, engineers designed a tiny image of a violin instead of a playable instrument. For decades, electronics designers and producers have consistently made products smaller while improving performance. Computer chips (芯片) double their capacity roughly every 1.5 to 2 years, according to Moore’s Law (1965, Intel’s Gordon Moore). Soon, data space will run out, so scientists need better methods for extremely tiny electronics. One such approach is Nanolithography. It’s similar to using a stencil (模板): cut a violin-shaped hole in a piece of paper, and only the hole gets colored. To make the violin, the scientists first covered a small chip with a special gel (凝胶) (like paper). They made the hole in two steps: use a machine called NanoFrazor (with a tiny heatable needle) to “draw” the violin on the chip, burning the gel where the needle touched, and wash away burned gel, leaving a tiny violin-shaped hole in the gel. Next, they covered the chip with platinum, which filled the violin-shaped hole. Finally, they washed off the remaining gel, leaving the tiny metal violin. The whole process of making the violin took about three hours. But it took the researchers several months to develop the methods they used to create it. “The process has actually laid the groundwork for the research we’re now undertaking,” said Morrison. 8. Why does the author mention tardigrades? A. To highlight a potential task. B. To introduce a new species. C. To explain a unique phrase. D. To offer a comparison reference. 9. What was one of the scientists’ purposes in creating such a violin? A. To play more universal music. B. To push technical boundaries. C. To find computing limitations. D. To boost super tiny products. 10. What did the scientists do before making the violin-shaped hole? A. They drew with a heated needle. B. They washed away burned gel. C. They applied a special gel layer. D. They used platinum coating. 11. What's the best title for the text? A. Tiniest Violin: A Tech Breakthrough B. Tiniest Violin: Key to Future Tech C. Tiniest Violin’s Platinum Creation D. Tiniest Violin’s Gel Process D Grief can bring waves of heartache, but for most people those feelings gradually fade. For some, they don’t. The loss remains intense, persistent, and difficult to handle in daily life. This condition, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD), was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) in 2022. “There’s something blocking their ability to finally say ‘I have to accept this,’” says Katherine Shear, director of the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia University. Researchers are now beginning to understand why PGD may involve breakdowns in the brain systems that govern attachment and reward, according to a 2026 study published in Trends in Neurosciences. In people with prolonged grief, those systems may continue to signal that the lost loved one is still expected, creating conflict between memory and reality. PGD is a “long-term, intense painful reaction to loss”, says Holly Prigerson at Weill Cornell Medicine. Individuals remain “stuck”, marked by persistent yearning and not accepting the reality of the loss. Grief is considered PGD when symptoms last longer than 12 months. How does it affect the brain? Regions involved in reward and motivation appear to remain active. “People with severe grief are still expecting the existence of what is gone, making it harder for the brain to update and accept the loss,” says Shear. Research published in 2020 also found that PGD involves different activity patterns in the amygdala (大脑杏仁核). PGD can lead to a higher risk of death. One explanation is that prolonged grief keeps the body in a lasting stress response. High levels of cortisol can hurt the heart system and interfere with immune function. The most common treatment is Prolonged Grief Therapy. “The treatment focuses on helping people accept the reality of the loss and restore their capacity for well-being, but formal recognition of PGD is crucial, as it ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for those stuck in this disabling experience.” Shear explains. 12. What is PGD according to the text? A. Grief that can’t be treated. B. Grief that brings heartaches. C. Grief that comes from great loss. D. Grief that doesn’t ease with time. 13. What does the study published in 2026 mainly focus on? A. Who PGD affects. B. What PGD brings. C. How PGD works. D. Why PGD spreads. 14. How does PGD affect humans according to Katherine Shear? A. It disturbs brain functions. B. It reduces memory activity. C. It weakens the immune system. D. It shortens people’s lifetime. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Official identification of PGD leads to better medical help. B. Well-being can be recovered with short-term PGD therapy. C. Reality acceptance of the loss is the main goal of curing PGD. D. Recognition of PGD largely relies on patients’ self-awareness. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读并根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people hold the fixed opinion that elderly people resist modern digital technology.

Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White. That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school. Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground. Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced! 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 厦门十中2026—2027学年第一学期 高二英语自主练习卷 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 班级：________ 姓名：________ 座号：________ 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

She knows its weight from its footprints, its diet from its waste, its route from broken bamboo stems. But the giant panda itself remains a creature she has never seen in the wild. Each morning, she and her team hike the misty trails of Sichuan’s Daxiangling mountains, scanning the forest floor for spindle-shaped ‌(纺锤形)‌ droppings. When they find one, they celebrate — a quiet nod, a brief smile, then a careful measurement. Once, a fresh pile made her heart race. Now, its increasing frequency tells a story more powerful than any sighting. Today, Fu stops before a strange boundary. On her left stand tall firs ‌(冷杉)‌, their canopies ‌(林冠)‌ so dense that sunlight barely reaches the ground. The earth is bare. On her right, sunbeams pass through the leaves, lighting up bush and bamboo waving in the breeze. Birds call. Insects hum. “This is what we planted after logging stopped,” she says, pointing left. “Nice trees, but useless for wildlife.” She steps into the sunlight on the right. “This is what we’re building now.” For years, her team has cleared thick vines (藤), replanted local young trees, and tended them for three seasons. They have linked separate bamboo patches into green pathways, so pandas can move freely, find food, and meet mates. Some 467 hectares have been restored. Back at the monitoring station, Fu goes through images from hundreds of infrared ‌(红外线的)‌ cameras. That morning alone, the system recorded 72 mammal and 12 bird detections. Pandas were feeding on shoots. Mothers were leading babies. Deer were stepping quietly through the undergrowth ‌(下木层)‌. She stops on one picture: a panda, half-hidden in bamboo, chewing calmly. She studies its face — a face she has never seen in person, yet knows better than most. A colleague jokes, “One day you’ll meet one.” Fu smiles. “Maybe,” she says, closing the laptop. “But some things are more precious when seen through the signs they leave behind.” 4. What does the “shadow” refer to? A. The giant panda. B. The misty forest. C. A hidden danger. D. A lost memory. 5. Why does the author describe the left side of the boundary? A. To praise the beauty of tall firs. B. To explain why logging was banned. C. To offer a contrast to current efforts. D. To compare two types of bamboo forests. 6. What does the camera data mainly indicate about the area? A. The bamboo forest is expanding. B. Panda numbers are steadily rising. C. Human activity has been reduced. D. The wildlife has become more diverse. 7. How does Fu feel about her work? A. Disappointed. B. Content. C. Hopeful. D. Critical. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了野生动物保护工作者付明霞在四川大相岭山区追踪大熊猫近十年的经历，通过描绘日常巡护中的细节、对比单纯造林与生态修复的差异以及红外相机记录下的野生动物复苏，展现了栖息地恢复的显著成效，体现了她对这份工作的满足与对大自然隐秘之美的深刻体悟。 【4题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“Fu Mingxia has spent nearly a decade tracking a shadow. She knows its weight from its footprints, its diet from its waste, its route from broken bamboo stems. But the giant panda itself remains a creature she has never seen in the wild. (付明霞花了近十年时间追踪一个影子。她从脚印中知道它的重量，从粪便中知道它的饮食，从折断的竹茎中知道它的路线。但大熊猫本身仍是她在野外从未见过的生物。)”可知，付明霞近十年来追踪的“影子”具有重量、饮食和活动路线等特征，却始终未在野外得见真容，这与大熊猫完全吻合。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“On her left stand tall firs ‌(冷杉)‌, their canopies ‌(林冠)‌ so dense that sunlight barely reaches the ground. The earth is bare. (在她左边矗立着高大的冷杉，它们的树冠如此茂密以至于阳光几乎无法照到地面。土地是光秃秃的。)”和第四段““This is what we planted after logging stopped,” she says, pointing left. “Nice trees, but useless for wildlife.” She steps into the sunlight on the right. “This is what we’re building now.”(“这是停止伐木后我们种的，”她指着左边说。“树很好，但对野生动物毫无用处。”她走到右边的阳光下。“这就是我们现在正在建设的。”)”可知，作者描绘左侧单一的人工林是为了与右侧当前修复的自然生境形成鲜明对比，从而突出生态恢复工作的转变与成效。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第六段“Back at the monitoring station, Fu goes through images from hundreds of infrared ‌(红外线的)‌ cameras. That morning alone, the system recorded 72 mammal and 12 bird detections. Pandas were feeding on shoots. Mothers were leading babies. Deer were stepping quietly through the undergrowth ‌(下木层)‌. (回到监测站，付明霞浏览着数百台红外相机拍摄的图像。仅那天早上，系统就记录到72次哺乳动物和12次鸟类检测。大熊猫在吃竹笋。母亲们带着幼崽。鹿悄悄穿过下木层。)”可知，相机数据主要表明该地区的野生动物变得更加多样化。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Fu smiles. “Maybe,” she says, closing the laptop. “But some things are more precious when seen through the signs they leave behind.”(付明霞微笑着。“也许吧，”她说，合上笔记本电脑。“但有些东西通过它们留下的痕迹来看更为珍贵。”)”可知，付明霞虽未在野外亲眼见到大熊猫，却因自己能通过足迹、粪便及相机影像等迹象见证其回归而心生满足，对自己的工作成果感到欣慰。 C The phrase “the world’s smallest violin” is used to joke about someone who’s feeling sorry for themselves, but for some scientists, it’s a mark of pride. Thanks to the latest nanotechnology, which is a scientific area that deals with making or changing things that are incredibly tiny, a team at the United Kingdom’s Loughborough University recently created what is literally the world’s smallest violin. It’s made of a metal called platinum, and measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide — a micron is one millionth of a meter. The “instrument” is thinner than a human hair and makes tiny tardigrades, also called water bears, look big. Don’t expect to hear any pieces of music played on it, however. In this case, engineers designed a tiny image of a violin instead of a playable instrument. For decades, electronics designers and producers have consistently made products smaller while improving performance. Computer chips (芯片) double their capacity roughly every 1.5 to 2 years, according to Moore’s Law (1965, Intel’s Gordon Moore). Soon, data space will run out, so scientists need better methods for extremely tiny electronics. One such approach is Nanolithography. It’s similar to using a stencil (模板): cut a violin-shaped hole in a piece of paper, and only the hole gets colored. To make the violin, the scientists first covered a small chip with a special gel (凝胶) (like paper). They made the hole in two steps: use a machine called NanoFrazor (with a tiny heatable needle) to “draw” the violin on the chip, burning the gel where the needle touched, and wash away burned gel, leaving a tiny violin-shaped hole in the gel. Next, they covered the chip with platinum, which filled the violin-shaped hole. Finally, they washed off the remaining gel, leaving the tiny metal violin. The whole process of making the violin took about three hours. But it took the researchers several months to develop the methods they used to create it. “The process has actually laid the groundwork for the research we’re now undertaking,” said Morrison. 8. Why does the author mention tardigrades? A. To highlight a potential task. B. To introduce a new species. C. To explain a unique phrase. D. To offer a comparison reference. 9. What was one of the scientists’ purposes in creating such a violin? A. To play more universal music. B. To push technical boundaries. C. To find computing limitations. D. To boost super tiny products. 10. What did the scientists do before making the violin-shaped hole? A. They drew with a heated needle. B. They washed away burned gel. C. They applied a special gel layer. D. They used platinum coating. 11. What's the best title for the text? A. Tiniest Violin: A Tech Breakthrough B. Tiniest Violin: Key to Future Tech C. Tiniest Violin’s Platinum Creation D. Tiniest Violin’s Gel Process 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍英国科学家利用纳米技术制造出世界上最小的小提琴，介绍了它的尺寸、制作工艺，以及这项研究在微型电子技术方面的科研意义。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段“It’s made of a metal called platinum, and measures just 35 microns long and 13 microns wide — a micron is one millionth of a meter. The “instrument” is thinner than a human hair and makes tiny tardigrades, also called water bears, look big. (它由铂金属制成，仅有 35 微米长、13 微米宽 ——1 微米等于一百万分之一米。这件“仪器”比人类头发丝还要细，让微小的水熊虫都显得很大。)”可推知，作者提到水熊虫，是用来作对比参照物，体现小提琴极其微小。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For decades, electronics designers and producers have consistently made products smaller while improving performance… Soon, data space will run out, so scientists need better methods for extremely tiny electronics. (几十年来，电子设计师和生产商不断缩小产品体积同时提升性能……很快数据空间将会耗尽，因此科学家需要用于微型电子器件的更好方法。)”以及第五段“The process has actually laid the groundwork for the research we’re now undertaking. (该工艺实际上为我们正在开展的研究奠定了基础。)”可推知，科学家制作该小提琴目的之一是突破技术边界。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段“To make the violin, the scientists first covered a small chip with a special gel (凝胶) (like paper). They made the hole in two steps… (为制作这把小提琴，科学家首先在一小块芯片上覆盖一层特殊凝胶。他们分两步做出孔洞……)”可推知，在做出小提琴形状孔洞之前，科学家先涂上一层特殊凝胶。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章围绕世界最小的小提琴展开，介绍它的诞生，详细讲解制作过程，点明其代表着技术突破。A 选项“最小小提琴：一项技术突破”能够概括全文，最适合作为本文标题。 D Grief can bring waves of heartache, but for most people those feelings gradually fade. For some, they don’t. The loss remains intense, persistent, and difficult to handle in daily life. This condition, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD), was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) in 2022. “There’s something blocking their ability to finally say ‘I have to accept this,’” says Katherine Shear, director of the Center for Prolonged Grief at Columbia University. Researchers are now beginning to understand why PGD may involve breakdowns in the brain systems that govern attachment and reward, according to a 2026 study published in Trends in Neurosciences. In people with prolonged grief, those systems may continue to signal that the lost loved one is still expected, creating conflict between memory and reality. PGD is a “long-term, intense painful reaction to loss”, says Holly Prigerson at Weill Cornell Medicine. Individuals remain “stuck”, marked by persistent yearning and not accepting the reality of the loss. Grief is considered PGD when symptoms last longer than 12 months. How does it affect the brain? Regions involved in reward and motivation appear to remain active. “People with severe grief are still expecting the existence of what is gone, making it harder for the brain to update and accept the loss,” says Shear. Research published in 2020 also found that PGD involves different activity patterns in the amygdala (大脑杏仁核). PGD can lead to a higher risk of death. One explanation is that prolonged grief keeps the body in a lasting stress response. High levels of cortisol can hurt the heart system and interfere with immune function. The most common treatment is Prolonged Grief Therapy. “The treatment focuses on helping people accept the reality of the loss and restore their capacity for well-being, but formal recognition of PGD is crucial, as it ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for those stuck in this disabling experience.” Shear explains. 12. What is PGD according to the text? A. Grief that can’t be treated. B. Grief that brings heartaches. C. Grief that comes from great loss. D. Grief that doesn’t ease with time. 13. What does the study published in 2026 mainly focus on? A. Who PGD affects. B. What PGD brings. C. How PGD works. D. Why PGD spreads. 14. How does PGD affect humans according to Katherine Shear? A. It disturbs brain functions. B. It reduces memory activity. C. It weakens the immune system. D. It shortens people’s lifetime. 15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Official identification of PGD leads to better medical help. B. Well-being can be recovered with short-term PGD therapy. C. Reality acceptance of the loss is the main goal of curing PGD. D. Recognition of PGD largely relies on patients’ self-awareness. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. A 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍了持续性哀伤障碍（PGD）的定义、大脑发病机制、对人体产生的危害以及对应的主流治疗方式。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Grief can bring waves of heartache but for most people those feelings gradually fade. For some, they don’t. The loss remains intense, persistent, and difficult to handle in daily life. This condition, known as prolonged grief disorder (PGD), was added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5 (DSM-5) in 2022. (悲伤会带来阵阵心痛，但大多数人的情绪会慢慢消退。一部分人却不会，失落感强烈持久，难以应对日常生活。这种名为持续性哀伤障碍（PGD）的病症，于2022年被纳入《精神疾病诊断与统计手册（第五版）》（DSM-5）。)”可知，PGD是不会随着时间缓解的悲伤。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Researchers are now beginning to understand why PGD may involve breakdowns in the brain systems that govern attachment and reward, according to a 2026 study published in Trends in Neurosciences. (据2026年发表在《神经科学趋势》期刊上的一项研究显示，研究人员如今开始探明持续性哀伤障碍为何会造成人体负责依恋与奖赏机制的大脑系统出现功能紊乱。)”可知，这项研究主要探究PGD的运作原理、发病机制。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“‘People with severe grief are still expecting the existence of what is gone, making it harder for the brain to update and accept the loss,’ says Shear. (Shear说：‘重度哀伤人群仍期盼逝去之人还在，致使大脑难以更新认知、接受离别事实。’)”可知，PGD会扰乱大脑机能。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘The treatment focuses on helping people accept the reality of the loss and restore their capacity for well-being, but formal recognition of PGD is crucial, as it ensures accurate diagnosis and effective treatment for those stuck in this disabling experience.’ Shear explains. (Shear解释道：‘该疗法重在帮助人们正视亲人离世的现实，重拾身心健康的能力；而对持续性哀伤障碍进行官方正式认定尤为关键，这能为深陷这种身心困境的人群提供精准诊断与有效治疗。’)”可知，PGD获得官方认定能够带来更优质的医疗帮扶。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读并根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people hold the fixed opinion that elderly people resist modern digital technology.

Mary was skipping rope on the playground, surrounded by several classmates watching her. It was her best sport. The rope spun (旋转) quickly as she jumped. When time was up, the counter showed 201 skips. Smiling, Mary flashed a victory sign to the crowd. Just then, the school bell rang-class was over. Mary packed up her skipping rope. It was time to give her answer to Ms. White. That morning, Ms. White had asked her if she would be willing to take charge of the class bulletin board (板报) for the upcoming competition. The student who usually handled it, Lily, was out sick, and someone needed to step in. Mary was shocked that Ms. White had chosen her. She responded nervously, insisting that her handwriting was terrible. But Ms. White reassured her, saying she believed in her ability and encouraged her to think it over and let her know her decision after school. Now, walking toward the teachers’ office, Mary felt nervous. The thought of her messy handwriting being put up on the wall for everyone to see made her stomach turn. She had already made up her mind to say no. With that decision in mind, she quickened her pace and ran across the sports ground. Mary was about to pass the sandpit (沙坑) when someone nearby caught her attention. It was Tom from a different class. In her mind, Tom had never been good at long jump, but he was practicing it. Curious, she went over to ask what he was doing. Tom explained that no one else had signed up for the long jump event, and without a participant, their class wouldn't get any points in the school sports meeting. So when the headteacher asked if anyone would give it a try, he volunteered. Mary reminded him that he wasn't good at it, but Tom simply said that he knew that-and that it wasn't about being the best, but about trying and doing his part for the class. Then he went back to practicing. What a similar issue they both faced! 注意：(1)续写词数应为150个左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Mary stood there, watching Tom practicing patiently and hard. Every time he jumped, he would stumble a little, but he never stopped. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and adjusted his posture, then tried again. Mary thought about how Tom was willing to take on something he wasn’t good at just to help his class. She felt a little ashamed of herself—she was scared of showing her bad handwriting, but what if she could try her best like Tom? Maybe the bulletin board wouldn’t be perfect, but she could put her heart into it. The nervous feeling in her stomach slowly faded, and a new sense of determination took its place. She turned around and headed straight for the teachers’ office, her steps no longer hesitant.​ With determination, Mary stepped into the teachers’ office. Ms. White was sitting at her desk, grading papers. When she saw Mary, she looked up and smiled, “Have you made your decision?” Mary took a deep breath and nodded firmly, “Yes, Ms. White. I’d like to take charge of the class bulletin board.” She then added, “My handwriting isn’t good, but I’ll practice and do my best to make it nice. I want to help our class, just like Tom is helping his.” Ms. White’s eyes lit up with pride. She stood up and patted Mary’s shoulder, “That’s what I wanted to hear, Mary. Bravery to try is more important than being perfect. I’ll be right here to help you.” Mary left the office with a big smile on her face, already looking forward to starting her new task. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述放学后，擅长跳绳的玛丽本打算拒绝怀特老师让她接手班级板报的请求，因她担心自己字迹差。途中，她看到不擅长跳远的汤姆为给班级争分，正主动练习跳远，汤姆认为重要的是尝试和为班级出力。这让玛丽面临与汤姆相似的是否承担任务的问题。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“玛丽站在那里，看着汤姆耐心又努力地练习。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛丽见汤姆虽不擅长跳远仍努力练习，羞愧自身胆怯，决心接办板报，走向教师办公室。 ②由第二段首句内容“玛丽满怀决心地走进教师办公室。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：玛丽决心走进教师办公室，答应负责板报并说明会努力，获怀特老师的肯定与支持，满心期待新任务。 2.续写线索：见汤姆努力练习——自我感到羞愧——决心接办板报—— 答应负责板报——获老师肯定与支持——满怀期待 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.尝试：try/attempt ②.帮助：help/assist/aid ③.擅长：be good at/do well in 情绪类 ①.害怕的：scared/afraid/frightened ②.焦虑的： nervous/anxious/uneasy 【点睛】[高分句型1].
