B．He wrote romantic novels. C．He was African American. 【答案】18．B 19．A 20．C 【原文】    W: Welcome to Introduction to Modern American Literature. For those thinking we are going to be discussing the Harry Potter novels, I have some bad news for you. When we say “Modern”, we’re referring to a specific period of American literature. There are some arguments over the dates of this period, but the general understanding is that it’s from 1910 to 1945. This period was marked by a big break from the past, and modernist fiction was characterized by themes of disappointment and loss. It is an important period, not just in literature, but in history too, so you have to consider what was happening in the world when reading the books. And there is a lot of reading! Those who have taken my previous classes in Old English Literature and the Romantic Period will know I expect you to complete the main reading list, plus a good amount of the suggested reading list too. Now, it may not surprise you that because of that period, many of the authors were white males, such as T.S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway, but we’ll also look at African American writers whose works are equally important, like novelist Zora Neale Hurston and poet Langston Hughes. Right, let’s begin in 1910. 二、阅读理解 （本题7.5分）From: Hiro Katana <hirokboss@email.com> To: Rachel Baines <Rachel. baines@email.com> Re: Shhh... Date: December 10, 2025 Hi Rachel, We have to start planning for Jan’s surprise party. It’s about a month away and we have barely got anything organized! I started a list and just gave people jobs.

Does Marty know this so he can make sure Jan is free that day? - Food: Hilary &Matt — decide on appetizers, or a sit-down meal? Dessert table?

Or should we just play our own music? - Ticket prices: Rachel & Hiro decide on admission price to cover costs. - Invitations: Rachel & Hiro — figure out who to invite!!! Send out a “Save-the-Date” by December 15. Am I missing anything else? I feel like I’m forgetting something. Is it too luxury?

It’s about a month away and we have barely got anything organized! I started a list and just gave people jobs.(我们得开始为Jan的惊喜派对做计划了。还有一个月左右，我们几乎还没组织好任何事情！我列了一个清单，给人们分配了任务)”可知，Hiro已经开始为派对做计划并给人们分配任务，Hiro是个爱管事、负责的人。故选C。 22．推理判断题。根据邮件中“Ticket prices: Rachel & Hiro decide on admission price to cover costs. Invitations: Rachel & Hiro — figure out who to invite!!! Send out a ‘Save-the-Date’ by December 15.(票价：Rachel和Hiro决定入场价格以覆盖成本。邀请：Rachel和Hiro——确定邀请谁！！！在12月15日前发送“预留日期”)”可知， 在票价和邀请等事项上都需要Rachel和Hiro共同决定和处理，Rachel是派对的共同组织者。故选A。 23．细节理解题。根据邮件中最后一段“Is it too luxury? Maybe we should make an alternate plan in case people don’t want to pay to go to a birthday party.(是不是太奢侈了？也许我们应该制定一个备用计划，以防人们不想花钱去参加生日派对)”可知， Hiro担心派对过于奢华，人们可能不愿意付钱参加，即Hiro担心派对过于铺张。故选B。 （本题10分）In the morning, when mist still hangs over the old stone streets of the coastal town of Seabrook, Thaddeus Flint is already at work in his workshop. For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking from within. Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. The deep, clear-sounding bell that now marks each hour in Seabrook is partly Leo’s creation. News of their successful work together spread. Many locals bring their hard-to-fix antique shelf clock for repair. Leo, once an outsider, gradually became a familiar face. Thaddeus often speaks proudly of Leo’s “steady hands and a steadier mind”. Leo plans to study engineering after graduation. “A clock isn’t just gears and time,” Thaddeus told him. “It’s a promise that every piece has its place. All we need is to observe and study calmly and steadily.” In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. 24．(2.5分)Which word best describes both Thaddeus and Leo? A．Dedicated. B．Moody. C．Easy-going. D．Flexible. 25．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Thaddeus from paragraph 2? A．He displayed strong devotion to clocks. B．He aimed to impress Leo more quickly. C．He intended to train Leo in clock making. D．He got inspiration from his prior experience. 26．(2.5分)What surprised Thaddeus about Leo’s skills in clock making? A．An old physics book. B．A solution to a bottleneck. C．Leo’s careful modesty. D．Leo’s challenge to authority. 27．(2.5分)What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Precision is key. B．Patience matters. C．Every detail counts. D．Teamwork is essential. 【答案】24．A 25．C 26．B 27．B 【导语】主要讲述转学生Leo结识老钟表匠Thaddeus，二人合作修钟表并彼此影响、收获成长的故事。 【详解】24．推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In the morning, when mist still hangs over the old stone streets of the coastal town of Seabrook, Thaddeus Flint is already at work in his workshop. For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone.(清晨，当薄雾还笼罩着西布鲁克海滨小镇古老的石板街道时，Thaddeus Flint就已经在工坊里工作了。数十年来，这位因制作复杂手工钟表而出名的老钟表匠一直独自工作。)”以及第二段中的“Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears.(察觉到Leo异于常人的专注，Thaddeus给了他一项简单任务：分类螺丝。一周又一周，任务难度不断提升，Leo学会调试细小钟摆、摆放精密齿轮。)”可知，二人对待钟表制作都专心投入、认真执着，dedicated符合人物特点。 25．推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears.(看到Leo 对钟表感兴趣，寡言的Thaddeus只是递给男孩一个布满灰尘的小齿轮和一块干净的布。令他意外的是，第二天Leo 就把齿轮擦拭得光亮如新。察觉到Leo出众的专注力，Thaddeus安排他做分类螺丝的简单活计。一周又一周，任务难度逐步增加，Leo开始学习调试钟摆、安放精细齿轮。)”可知，Thaddeus循序渐进地布置任务，意在培养Leo学习钟表制作的技艺。 26．细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked.(真正的转折点是市政厅定制钟表的项目，这款钟表因为报时铃装置故障，困扰了Thaddeus数月。经过数周观察，Leo参考一本旧物理书的方法，提出重新设计弹簧张力结构。Thaddeus心存疑虑却也颇为赏识，同意让他尝试。令老人大为惊讶的是，这个办法奏效了。)”可知，Leo解决了困扰Thaddeus几个月的铃铛声音机制问题，这让Thaddeus感到惊讶。 27．推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time.(在这个常常节奏匆忙的世界里，他们这段看似意外的合作提醒着小镇，一些最美好的情谊都是慢慢建立起来的，如同钟表每一次沉稳的滴答声。)”可知，作者借这句话传递出耐心的重要性。 （本题10分）When I first came across All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A doomsday-after story centered around a young girl’s survival journey? Interesting! But what really drew me in was the description of the destruction caused by climate change and the moving exploration of human courage. Little did I know, it would transform my understanding of both hope and loss. Caffall’s writing is nothing short of amazing. Her vivid description brought to life the terrifying beauty of a world now more watery than land. Through Nonie’s eyes, the strangeness of floating through a drowned city is both amazing and frightening. The pictures of empty buildings under dark water painted a dream-like scene that stayed in my mind long after I set the book down. The characters are rich and caring, each showing a fierce love for one another that adds warmth to the dangerous journey they start. Nonie’s early wisdom and her relationship with water indicate the connection people can have with nature, even when faced with its destructive side. It’s a narrative that speaks deeply, especially in today’s world. Reflecting on my reading experience, I can confidently say that All the Water in the World is a narrative that stays with you — filled with beauty and terror, hope and despair. Readers who enjoy stories similar to Station Eleven or The Light Pirate will undoubtedly find themselves attracted by Caffall’s delicate yet powerful storytelling. In conclusion, if you’re searching for a meaningful yet exciting book that explores survival and humanity’s fragile relationship with the environment, this book calls out to you. It’s a “don’t miss” doomsday-after story that will inspire long after you reach the final page. 28．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The author’s writing style. B．The development of the plot.

Her vivid description brought to life the terrifying beauty of a world now more watery than land. Through Nonie’s eyes, the strangeness of floating through a drowned city is both amazing and frightening. The pictures of empty buildings under dark water painted a dream-like scene that stayed in my mind long after I set the book down.(Caffall的写作简直令人惊叹。她生动的描写使一个如今水比陆地还多的世界的恐怖之美栩栩如生。透过Nonie的眼睛，漂浮在被淹没的城市中的陌生感既令人惊奇又令人恐惧。黑暗的水下空荡荡的建筑物的画面描绘了一个梦幻般的场景，在我放下书后很久还留在我的脑海里)”可知，第二段主要描述了Caffall的写作风格，她通过生动的描写使读者仿佛身临其境。故选A项。 29．推理判断题。根据第三段“The characters are rich and caring, each showing a fierce love for one another that adds warmth to the dangerous journey they start.(人物丰富而富有同情心，每个人都表现出对彼此的强烈爱意，这为他们开始的危险旅程增添了温暖)”可知，这些人物在旅程中既经历了冒险，又感受到了彼此之间的温暖和关爱。故选A项。 30．推理判断题。根据第四段“Readers who enjoy stories similar to Station Eleven or The Light Pirate will undoubtedly find themselves attracted by Caffall’s delicate yet powerful storytelling.(喜欢《Station Eleven》或《The Light Pirate》这类故事的读者无疑会被Caffall细腻而有力的叙事所吸引)”可知，作者提到《Station Eleven》和《The Light Pirate》是为了吸引那些喜欢这类故事的潜在读者，让他们知道《世界上所有的水》这本书也会吸引他们。故选B项。 31．推理判断题。根据最后一段“In conclusion, if you’re searching for a meaningful yet exciting book that explores survival and humanity’s fragile relationship with the environment, this book calls out to you. It’s a “don’t miss” doomsday-after story that will inspire long after you reach the final page.(总之，如果你正在寻找一本既有意义又令人兴奋的书，探索生存和人类与环境的脆弱关系，这本书会吸引你。这是一个“不容错过”的末日后的故事，即使你读到最后一页，也会长久地激励着你)”可知，作者对这本书持支持态度，认为这是一本值得一读的好书。故选D项。 （本题10分）Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated (培养). With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck? Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life. 32．(2.5分)What can we know about virtuous people from Paragraph 1? A．They are born with virtues. B．They never make a mistake. C．They have a habit of doing good. D．They act on the principle of profit. 33．(2.5分)What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．Satisfying career. B．Practicing virtues. C．Trust in a relationship. D．Basic qualities of well-being. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer from the examples given in Paragraph 3? A．Virtues only work in personal relationships. B．Being grateful always leads to a better job quickly. C．Kindness is the most useful virtue in dealing with bad moods. D．Applying virtues properly can change a situation for the better. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s purpose in the last paragraph? A．To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B．To encourage readers to live a purposeful life. C．To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D．To encourage readers to develop others’ potential. 【答案】32．C 33．B 34．D 35．A 【导语】文章主要介绍了美德的含义、培养美德的重要性，以及如何在生活中运用美德来改善处境和提升幸福感。 【详解】32．推理判断题。根据第一段中“Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. (道德卓越的人，其品格由被视为善的种种美德构成。例如，他们诚实、尊重他人、勇敢、宽容且善良。他们做正确的事，不屈服于冲动或欲望，而是依照价值观和原则行事)”可知，有美德的人，其品格由被视为善的种种美德构成，他们诚实、尊重他人、勇敢、宽容且善良。由此推知，他们会有行善的习惯。 33．主旨大意题。根据第二段“Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck?(美德是普世的，被所有文化公认为幸福的基本品质。然而，践行美德并非易事。我们常常知道，需要坚持不懈才能达到目标，却仍旧无法企及。我们知道，如果能宽恕，愤怒就会减少。我们知道，成就伟业需要勇气。那么，如果我们知道该做什么，为何还会停滞不前呢？)”可知，本段主要讨论的是践行美德面临困难。 34．推理判断题。根据第三段中“Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. (因为我们尚未有意识地将某种美德运用于特定情境中以改变其结果，例如：对心情不佳的人施以善意，可以使其展露笑颜，并建立亲密的关系；在关系中投入信任，能创造宝贵而有意义的联结；面对失业时心怀感激，能将我们的关注点从情绪低落转向如何开启一份更充实的新事业；服务他人能够改变生命、改善社区，并建设更强大的国家)”可知，段中这些例子说明恰当地运用美德可以改变结果，可以让情况变得更好。 35．推理判断题。根据最后一段中“We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. (我们知道我们正在成为更有美德的人，不仅因为上述结果，还因为他人对我们的回应方式。我们的朋友、家人、同事和邻居会信任并依赖我们。他们会来向我们寻求指导和帮助。他们会想要和我们在一起，因为我们激励他们成为更好的人)”可知，作者通过描述变得有美德后他人会如何积极回应，旨在鼓励读者成为更有美德的人。 （本题12.5分）Living on your own can give you an incredible sense of freedom, but many people still struggle. They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day. 36(2.5分) Predictable routines help to reduce stress and worry. They take away some of the exhaustion you might feel when faced with a long day ahead, and they reduce the day-to-day decision-making. Structured days help to maintain your mood and support mental strength. 37(2.5分) For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable. 38(2.5分) If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events — you might get a last-minute social invitation from a friend, the weather might be awful, or you might be feeling extremely tired. You should be allowed to accommodate these changes. Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost. 39(2.5分) However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine — even if you only do the basics. It can help you to feel more purposeful. Building a routine is an evolving process, and as you settle more into your solo (独居的) life, your routine will adapt and change. Celebrate being consistent, not perfect. 40(2.5分) Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation.

D．However, it’s important not to be too strict with it. E．Without a routine, you may easily lose your identity. F．It’s appealing to stay in bed and not face the day at all. G．There are also physical health benefits of having a routine. 【答案】36．C 37．G 38．D 39．F 40．B 【导语】文章主要介绍独居生活虽自由但易作息混乱，阐述规律作息的身心益处，说明作息规划需兼顾灵活与平衡，倡导适度、可持续的作息习惯。 【详解】36．上文“Living on your own can give you an incredible sense of freedom, but many people still struggle. They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day.(独居能给人极大的自由，但很多人仍倍感煎熬，他们认为独居无人约束，很难养成规律的生活节奏)”指出独居易缺乏规律作息的问题，C选项“But having a healthy routine can bring stability(但健康的作息能带来稳定)”与上文构成转折关系，转折引出规律作息的积极作用，开启下文对作息益处的介绍。 37．下文“For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable.(例如，规划锻炼时间，你更可能坚持运动；固定用餐时间，就不会忘记吃饭，有助于维持血糖稳定)”举例说明了规律作息对身体健康的好处，G选项“There are also physical health benefits of having a routine(规律作息对身体健康也有益处)”起到承上启下的作用，承接上文规律作息对心理、情绪的积极影响，引出下文身体健康层面的益处，贴合段落内容。 38．下文“If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events...You should be allowed to accommodate these changes.(如果作息过于死板，会引发紧张和焦虑，生活需要预留应对突发状况的空间，要学会适应变化)”强调作息不能过于僵化，需要灵活变通，D选项“However, it’s important not to be too strict with it(但重要的是不要对作息太过严苛)”引出本段核心观点，与下文内容精准呼应。 39．上文“Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost.(有时你会感到低落迷茫)”提出情绪低落的状态，F选项“It’s appealing to stay in bed and not face the day at all(此时人们总想卧床不起，逃避生活)”承接上文，说明低落时的常见状态；下文“However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine(但只要可以，就起身遵循日常作息)”与F选项构成转折，提出应对办法。 40．上文“Celebrate being consistent, not perfect.(要追求作息的持之以恒，而非完美无缺)”倡导适度的作息状态，下文“Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation(日程过满会让人疲惫焦虑，预留休息放松的时间同样重要)”强调作息需要劳逸结合、张弛有度，B选项“When building a routine, think about balance(制定作息时要兼顾平衡)”概括本段主旨，衔接上下文观点。 三、完形填空 （本题15分）For years, self-doubt shadowed me. Its roots stretched back to my autism diagnosis (自闭症的诊断), a time when 41 was rare. Teachers puzzled over me, classmates bullied me, and I 42 my truth, letting the self-doubt grow heavier. Middle school compounded (混合) it: back surgery, failed exams, repeated SAT struggles. Yet beneath these 43 , a tiny voice insisted, “Keep going.” After three attempts, I finally passed — but 44 remained. To solve it, I began 45 — pouring anger, sadness, hope onto pages. 46 , feelings I couldn’t speak found shape. I started 47 my story: autism, bullying, the fight to believe. With each word, the doubt 48 . I realized my weaknesses like sensitivity and unique perspective became strengths. After I turned those writings into a book, responses 49 : readers felt less alone, and opened up their own 50 , while parents found hope. Then I began to instruct, 51 at conferences and connect with others who’d felt humble. In Dubai, after a speech, a shy teen — who communicated through song — stepped up. With my 52 , he sang of longing for family closeness, his voice raw and beautiful. In that moment, I knew: the 53 I once hid had helped someone express theirs. Now, I speak worldwide, but the real 54 is knowing someone out there hears my story and thinks, “Maybe I’m not alone.” To anyone 55 self-doubt, my advice is: Your voice matters.

The novel follows the life of Fugui, a once-wealthy landowner who lost his fortune through gambling. As his status shifted to that of a peasant, he 58(1.5分) (witness) the rapid changes of society. Despite enduring relentless hardship, Fugui survived, 59(1.5分) (find) moments of solace (安慰) in small, everyday acts of perseverance. Fugui’s life is basically divided into two stages. One is extravagant through a life of gambling, drunkenness and dreams. 60(1.5分) other is a life of hardship, full of thorns, poverty and suffering. In the former, he is absurd in soul and decadent in body. In the latter he is rich in soul and tough in body. 61(1.5分) gives us this invisible power is not the “master” of the former, but the “people” of the latter; not the “pleasure” of the rich, 62(1.5分) the “tenacity”(固执；韧性) of the poor. To live is not to let go of wealth, but 63(1.5分) (rise) to the challenge of self-improvement. From Fugui making his way through the hardships, twists and turns of life, we can easily see that in life, nine out of 10 times things do not end 64(1.5分) (satisfactory), but the people who have survived and the things that have happened are real and 65(1.5分) (meaning). 【答案】 56．published 57．humanity 58．witnessed 59．finding 60．The 61．What 62．but 63．to rise 64．satisfactorily 65．meaningful 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章简要介绍了中国作家余华的著名小说《活着》，讲述了主人公福贵跌宕起伏的人生经历，以及小说所传达的关于命运、忍耐和人性本质的深刻主题。 【详解】56．考查非谓语动词。句意：这本书最初于1993年出版，此后因其原始的情感深度以及对命运、忍耐和人性本质等主题的探索而获得了国际认可。句中已有谓语动词has gained，且与所给动词间无连词，空格处应用非谓语形式。逻辑主语the book和publish之间是动宾关系，因此用过去分词published表被动。故填published。 57．考查名词。句意：这本书最初于1993年出版，此后因其原始的情感深度以及对命运、忍耐和人性本质等主题的探索而获得了国际认可。the essence of后接名词，human的名词是humanity，意为“人性”，为不可数名词。故填humanity。 58．考查时态。句意：随着他的地位转变为农民，他目睹了社会的快速变化。句子描述过去的事情，时态用一般过去时，空格处用过去式witnessed。故填witnessed。 59．考查非谓语动词。句意：尽管经历了不断的苦难，福贵还是活了下来，在微小的、日常的坚持行为中找到了慰藉。句中已有谓语动词survived，且与所给动词间无连词，空格处应用非谓语形式。逻辑主语Fugui和find之间是主谓关系，因此用现在分词finding表主动，故填finding。 60．考查冠词。句意：另一种是充满荆棘、贫穷和苦难的艰辛生活。根据上文的“One is...”可知，此处表示“另一种”，用the other，位于句首，首字母大写，故填The。 61．考查主语从句。句意：给予我们这种无形力量的，不是前者的“主人”，而是后者的“人民”；不是富人的“快乐”，而是穷人的“韧性”。空格处引导的是主语从句，从句中缺少主语，指“……的东西”，因此用what引导，位于句首，首字母大写，故填What。 62．考查固定短语。句意：给予我们这种无形力量的，不是前者的“主人”，而是后者的“人民”；不是富人的“快乐”，而是穷人的“韧性”。not...but...是固定短语，意为“不是……而是……”，故填but。 63．考查非谓语动词。句意：活着不是放弃财富，而是迎接自我提升的挑战。not... but...连接并列成分，意为“不是……而是……”，由not to let go可知，空格处也用不定式，故填to rise。 64．考查副词。句意：从福贵经历生活的艰难、曲折，我们可以很容易地看到，在生活中，十有八九事情的结果都不尽如人意，但幸存下来的人和发生过的事情是真实且有意义的。空格处修饰动词end，应用副词satisfactorily，意为“令人满意地”。故填satisfactorily。 65．考查形容词。句意：从福贵经历生活的艰难、曲折，我们可以很容易地看到，在生活中，十有八九事情的结果都不尽如人意，但幸存下来的人和发生过的事情是真实且有意义的。空处与real并列作表语，应用形容词meaningful，意为“有意义的”。故填meaningful。 五、书面表达 66．（本题15分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last week, our school held a cross-country running race (越野跑比赛) to raise money for the local children’s hospital. The race covered a 5-kilometer path around the hill near our school. I signed up for it, hoping to challenge myself and do something good for the sick kids. On the race day, the weather was perfect, sunny and warm. All the runners gathered at the starting line, excited and nervous, while teachers and classmates waved flags and shouted encouragement from the sidelines (场外). When the starting gun went off, we all rushed out. I ran at a steady (稳定的) pace at first, keeping up with the middle group. The path wound through the woods, and the soft wind blew through my hair as I ran, making me feel relaxed and hopeful about the race. About halfway through the race, I noticed a girl named Lily from my class falling behind. She was limping (跛行) badly, holding her left ankle (脚踝), her face pale with pain. I slowed down and asked if she was okay. She told me she had twisted (扭伤) her ankle stepping on a stone, and couldn’t run any more. Actually, Lily was the fastest girl runner in our grade, and she had also trained for weeks for this race. I wanted to keep running. I had trained for this race for a whole month — every morning I got up at 6 to run around the playground, even giving up my weekend cartoons to practice. I really wanted to win a prize. But when I saw her struggling to walk alone, I couldn’t just leave her there. I helped her stand up, letting her put her arm around my shoulder. We walked slowly forward, and she kept apologizing for slowing me down. I told her it was fine, but secretly I felt a little upset that I would miss the chance to finish the race. 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 as we were walking slowly towards the finish line, we heard cheers coming from far away. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When we finally crossed the finish line, all the people stood up and clapped for us. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1: Just as we were walking slowly towards the finish line, we heard cheers coming from far away. I looked up and saw all the runners who had already finished the race running towards us, many of them holding the water bottles and towels they had prepared for themselves. Some of them ran to support Lily, while others walked with us, cheering us on, their voices loud and warm, pushing away the little upset I had felt earlier. I was so moved by their warmth that my eyes turned red at once, never expecting they would give up their rest just to stay with us. Paragraph 2: When we finally crossed the finish line, all the people stood up and clapped for us. The teacher in charge said that even though we didn’t get the race prize, we had won the most valuable thing: kindness. He also announced we would get a special award for the best team spirit. Later, all the donation we raised was sent to the hospital, and Lily said she would join me to visit the sick kids there the next weekend, saying we could bring this warm story to cheer the kids up. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，主要讲述了作者参加学校公益越野跑比赛，途中遇到同班同学Lily脚踝扭伤，在个人获奖机会和帮助他人之间，选择搀扶受伤的Lily前行的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，本段可描写同学们、老师赶来陪伴鼓励二人，作者内心的失落被温暖治愈的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，本段可描写师生对二人的认可、学校颁发特殊荣誉，以及二人收获感悟、体悟公益与善意的真谛。 2. 续写线索：搀扶前行——众人赶来鼓励——内心备受感动——抵达终点——全场鼓掌致敬——收获荣誉与成长感悟 3. 词汇积累 行为类 ①冲向某人：run towards sb./rush to sb./head for sb. quickly ②给某人加油鼓劲：cheer sb. on/encourage sb. 情绪类 ①沮丧的：upset/depressed/frustrated ②感动：be moved/be touched 【点睛】【高分句型1】I looked up and saw all the runners who had already finished the race running towards us, many of them holding the water bottles and towels they had prepared for themselves.（运用了who引导的限制性定语从句，独立主格结构作状语，that或which引导的限制性定语从句、that或which被省略） 【高分句型2】The teacher in charge said that even though we didn’t get the race prize, we had won the most valuable thing: kindness.（运用了that引导的宾语从句，even though引导的让步状语从句） 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The final exams at Oakwood High were around the corner, and with them, a whispered topic had spread among the seniors: the “Special Room” — a separate, quieter room for students with special needs. With an approved note, students could gain extra time for tests in the room. Leo knew all about it. He was the kind of student who filled his textbooks with colored words and stayed up late reviewing, yet his scores remained frustratingly average. However, his friend, Ethan, who always passed exams effortlessly, should have got the approved note. Leo felt a wave of unease. The pressure peaked when his father, who was worried about college, suggested, “Have you thought about applying for the ‘Special Room’? It might help!” The message was clear. Hoping to relieve the growing anxiety of his own as well as his family’s, Leo applied for the “special room” and eventually he secured the official approval. The note in his hand felt heavy, a clear solution bringing no peace. The evening before the crucial chemistry exam, Leo stared at the note beside his textbook, torn by an inner conflict: “I am not sick; I am just slow. This note is an official permit, but why do I feel like a cheater to use it? I have worked hard for so long, but is it enough for my future? Still, is it worth losing my self-respect?” On exam day, the hallway was a river of nervous energy. To the left was the entrance to the “Special Room”, watched over by Mr. Smith. Leo saw Ethan show his approved note and bounce away. Leo’s hand reached his own pocket, where the note was folded. He felt it there, heavy. The sounds of the crowd around him seemed to fade, leaving him standing between two choices: the ready-made help in his pocket, and the door to the main examination hall, where he would be tested on his own. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Then, determined, Leo walked into the main examination hall. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, the long-awaited exam results were posted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文 Then, determined, Leo walked into the main examination hall. The rustling of papers and the quick instructions from the teacher made his heart beat faster. He took a deep breath, pushing aside thoughts of the special room he had given up. As the exam began, he focused solely on the questions, recalling his colored words. Time pressed on, yet he refused to be discouraged by any difficulty. He kept working steadily, determined to secure every point he could earn. The final minutes were a race, but as he placed his pen down, profound calm settled over him. He had faced the challenge directly and honestly, with nothing but his own preparation. Weeks later, the long-awaited exam results were posted. Leo found his name on the list — a ‘B’ in chemistry, a grade that mirrored his honest effort. A sense of quiet satisfaction warmed him. As he turned to leave, Mr. Smith came up to him. “Leo,” he said, with clear appreciation in his voice, “I saw you choose the main hall that day. That took integrity. In my book, that counts for more than any ‘A’.” Those words struck Leo deeply. He realized then that the true reward wasn’t the letter on the board, but the unshakable respect which he had earned for himself. He had taken a far more important test and, most importantly, he had passed it. 【导语】本文以利奥的内心挣扎与选择为线索展开，讲述了备考期末考的利奥为缓解升学压力申请了特殊考场的批准单，却在考试当天直面内心、放弃特殊考场选择凭实力应考，最终收获成绩与自尊，领悟到诚信比分数更重要。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“然后，利奥下定决心，走进了主考场”可知，第一段可描写利奥进入常规考场后的应考状态，包括考场环境带来的感受、他答题时的专注与坚持、凭借自身准备完成考试的过程，以及交卷时内心的坦然，体现他直面挑战的决心。 ②由第二段首句内容“几周后，期待已久的考试成绩公布了”可知，第二段可描写利奥查看化学考试成绩的结果、看到成绩后的心情，还加入了史密斯老师的肯定与赞赏，最后写利奥的内心感悟，点明诚信与自尊的重要性，升华文章主题。 2.续写线索：申请特殊考场批准单——考试当天内心抉择——坚定走入常规考场——专注答题——查看考试成绩——得到老师的认可——领悟人生道理 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①走进：walk into/stride into ②集中精力于：focus on/concentrate on ③悄然笼罩：settle over/descend on 情绪类 ①平静：calm/composure ②满足：satisfaction/gratification 【点睛】【高分句型1】He took a deep breath, pushing aside thoughts of the special room he had given up.(运用了现在分词结构作伴随状语) 【高分句型2】He realized then that the true reward wasn’t the letter on the board, but the unshakable respect which he had earned for himself.(运用了that引导的宾语从句以及which引导的定语从句) 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高中英语单元测试——Unit 1 Growing Up 学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、听力选择题 1．（本题1.5分）What are the speakers mainly talking about?

For decades, the elderly clockmaker, known for his complicated handmade timepieces, had worked alone. That changed last spring when Leo, a quiet transfer student with no friends in his new school, wandered into the shop by accident, drawn by the steady ticking from within. Seeing Leo interested in clocks, Thaddeus, a man of few words, simply handed the boy a dusty small gear and a clean cloth. To his surprise, Leo returned the next day, having polished it to a shine. Recognizing his uncommon attentiveness, Thaddeus offered him a simple task: sorting screws. Week by week, Thaddeus’ tasks grew more complex. Leo learned to adjust tiny pendulums (钟摆) and carefully position delicate gears. The real turning point came with the specially ordered Clock Project for the town hall — a piece that had defeated Thaddeus for months due to a faulty bell sound mechanism. Leo, after observing for weeks, suggested a different design for the spring tension setup using a method from an old physics book. Doubtful but impressed, Thaddeus let him try. To the old man’s astonishment, it worked. The deep, clear-sounding bell that now marks each hour in Seabrook is partly Leo’s creation. News of their successful work together spread. Many locals bring their hard-to-fix antique shelf clock for repair. Leo, once an outsider, gradually became a familiar face. Thaddeus often speaks proudly of Leo’s “steady hands and a steadier mind”. Leo plans to study engineering after graduation. “A clock isn’t just gears and time,” Thaddeus told him. “It’s a promise that every piece has its place. All we need is to observe and study calmly and steadily.” In a world that often feels rushed, their unlikely partnership reminds the town that some of the best connections are built slowly, one careful tick at a time. 24．(2.5分)Which word best describes both Thaddeus and Leo? A．Dedicated. B．Moody. C．Easy-going. D．Flexible. 25．(2.5分)What can be inferred about Thaddeus from paragraph 2? A．He displayed strong devotion to clocks. B．He aimed to impress Leo more quickly. C．He intended to train Leo in clock making. D．He got inspiration from his prior experience. 26．(2.5分)What surprised Thaddeus about Leo’s skills in clock making? A．An old physics book. B．A solution to a bottleneck. C．Leo’s careful modesty. D．Leo’s challenge to authority. 27．(2.5分)What does the author want to convey in the last paragraph? A．Precision is key. B．Patience matters. C．Every detail counts. D．Teamwork is essential. （本题10分）When I first came across All the Water in the World by Eiren Caffall, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. A doomsday-after story centered around a young girl’s survival journey? Interesting! But what really drew me in was the description of the destruction caused by climate change and the moving exploration of human courage. Little did I know, it would transform my understanding of both hope and loss. Caffall’s writing is nothing short of amazing. Her vivid description brought to life the terrifying beauty of a world now more watery than land. Through Nonie’s eyes, the strangeness of floating through a drowned city is both amazing and frightening. The pictures of empty buildings under dark water painted a dream-like scene that stayed in my mind long after I set the book down. The characters are rich and caring, each showing a fierce love for one another that adds warmth to the dangerous journey they start. Nonie’s early wisdom and her relationship with water indicate the connection people can have with nature, even when faced with its destructive side. It’s a narrative that speaks deeply, especially in today’s world. Reflecting on my reading experience, I can confidently say that All the Water in the World is a narrative that stays with you — filled with beauty and terror, hope and despair. Readers who enjoy stories similar to Station Eleven or The Light Pirate will undoubtedly find themselves attracted by Caffall’s delicate yet powerful storytelling. In conclusion, if you’re searching for a meaningful yet exciting book that explores survival and humanity’s fragile relationship with the environment, this book calls out to you. It’s a “don’t miss” doomsday-after story that will inspire long after you reach the final page. 28．(2.5分)What is Paragraph 2 mainly about? A．The author’s writing style. B．The development of the plot. C．The background of the story. D．The struggles of the character. 29．(2.5分)What can be inferred about the characters’ journey in Paragraph 3? A．It is quite adventurous but also warm. B．It goes smoothly due to Nonie’s wisdom. C．It improves characters’ ability to deal with flood. D．It promotes the relation between human and nature. 30．(2.5分)Why does the author mention Station Eleven and The Light Pirate? A．To compare the differences. B．To attract potential readers. C．To question their popularity. D．To criticize their disadvantages. 31．(2.5分)What is the author’s attitude towards the book? A．Unclear. B．Doubtful. C．Objective. D．Supportive. （本题10分）Virtue, by definition, is the moral excellence of a person. Morally excellent people have a character made up of virtues valued as good. They are honest, respectful, courageous, forgiving and kind, for example. They do the right thing, and don’t bend to impulses, urges or desires, but act according to values and principles. Some might say good qualities are inborn. Actually, virtues need to be cultivated (培养). With the habit of being virtuous, we can take control of our lives and move them in the direction of greater happiness and fulfillment. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures as basic qualities of well-being. However, practicing virtues is not easy. So often we know that it takes perseverance to reach our goals, and we still never get there. We know if we forgive, we’ll be less angry. We know it takes courage to accomplish great things. So why then, if we know what to do, are we still stuck? Because we have not yet consciously applied a virtue to a given situation so as to change its outcome such as in these examples: kindness towards someone who is having a bad day can make him or her smile and build a close relationship; trust in a relationship creates valuable, meaningful relationships; gratitude in a job loss can shift our focus from feeling low to how we can have a new, more fulfilling career; service to others can change lives, better neighborhoods and create stronger nations. We know we are becoming more virtuous people, not only because of the results above but also because of the way other people respond to us. Our friends, families, co-workers, and neighbors will trust and rely on us. They will come to us for guidance and help. They will want to be around us because we inspire them to be better people. Practicing virtues allows us to develop our potential, and live a more purposeful, better life. 32．(2.5分)What can we know about virtuous people from Paragraph 1? A．They are born with virtues. B．They never make a mistake. C．They have a habit of doing good. D．They act on the principle of profit. 33．(2.5分)What is the second paragraph mainly about? A．Satisfying career. B．Practicing virtues. C．Trust in a relationship. D．Basic qualities of well-being. 34．(2.5分)What can we infer from the examples given in Paragraph 3? A．Virtues only work in personal relationships. B．Being grateful always leads to a better job quickly. C．Kindness is the most useful virtue in dealing with bad moods. D．Applying virtues properly can change a situation for the better. 35．(2.5分)What is the author’s purpose in the last paragraph? A．To encourage readers to be more virtuous. B．To encourage readers to live a purposeful life. C．To encourage readers to offer others guidance. D．To encourage readers to develop others’ potential. （本题12.5分）Living on your own can give you an incredible sense of freedom, but many people still struggle. They claim: When you only need to answer to yourself in the house, it can be harder to have a regular rhythm in your day. 36(2.5分) Predictable routines help to reduce stress and worry. They take away some of the exhaustion you might feel when faced with a long day ahead, and they reduce the day-to-day decision-making. Structured days help to maintain your mood and support mental strength. 37(2.5分) For example, if you schedule in your exercise, you’re more likely to do it. If you plan regular mealtimes, it means you don’t forget to eat, which helps to keep your blood sugar levels stable. 38(2.5分) If you make it very inflexible, it can become a source of tension and anxiety. There should be space for unexpected events — you might get a last-minute social invitation from a friend, the weather might be awful, or you might be feeling extremely tired. You should be allowed to accommodate these changes. Sometimes you’ll have a day when you feel sad and lost. 39(2.5分) However, if you can, get up and start following some of your routine — even if you only do the basics. It can help you to feel more purposeful. Building a routine is an evolving process, and as you settle more into your solo (独居的) life, your routine will adapt and change. Celebrate being consistent, not perfect. 40(2.5分) Overpacking your days will make them exhausting and stressful, which is why it’s just as important to add in periods of rest and relaxation. A．An extremely fixed routine has its advantages. B．When building a routine, think about balance. C．But having a healthy routine can bring stability. D．However, it’s important not to be too strict with it. E．Without a routine, you may easily lose your identity. F．It’s appealing to stay in bed and not face the day at all. G．There are also physical health benefits of having a routine. 三、完形填空 （本题15分）For years, self-doubt shadowed me. Its roots stretched back to my autism diagnosis (自闭症的诊断), a time when 41 was rare. Teachers puzzled over me, classmates bullied me, and I 42 my truth, letting the self-doubt grow heavier. Middle school compounded (混合) it: back surgery, failed exams, repeated SAT struggles. Yet beneath these 43 , a tiny voice insisted, “Keep going.” After three attempts, I finally passed — but 44 remained. To solve it, I began 45 — pouring anger, sadness, hope onto pages. 46 , feelings I couldn’t speak found shape. I started 47 my story: autism, bullying, the fight to believe. With each word, the doubt 48 . I realized my weaknesses like sensitivity and unique perspective became strengths. After I turned those writings into a book, responses 49 : readers felt less alone, and opened up their own 50 , while parents found hope. Then I began to instruct, 51 at conferences and connect with others who’d felt humble. In Dubai, after a speech, a shy teen — who communicated through song — stepped up. With my 52 , he sang of longing for family closeness, his voice raw and beautiful. In that moment, I knew: the 53 I once hid had helped someone express theirs. Now, I speak worldwide, but the real 54 is knowing someone out there hears my story and thinks, “Maybe I’m not alone.” To anyone 55 self-doubt, my advice is: Your voice matters. Write it down and share it. 41．(1分)A．sympathy B．observing C．understanding D．forgiveness 42．(1分)A．witnessed B．ignored C．remembered D．buried 43．(1分)A．troubles B．events C．appearances D．remarks 44．(1分)A．danger B．doubt C．panic D．pride 45．(1分)A．writing B．crying C．reading D．whispering 46．(1分)A．Generally B．Recently C．Occasionally D．Suddenly 47．(1分)A．explaining B．changing C．sharing D．reflecting 48．(1分)A．continued B．lightened C．deepened D．surfaced 49．(1分)A．leaked out B．turned up C．took off D．poured in 50．(1分)A．earnings B．dreams C．struggles D．complaints 51．(1分)A．wander B．speak C．defend D．discuss 52．(1分)A．encouragement B．treatment C．assessment D．commitment 53．(1分)A．identity B．accent C．pain D．voice 54．(1分)A．decision B．reward C．purpose D．suggestion 55．(1分)A．wrestling B．monitoring C．analyzing D．considering 四、语法填空 （本题15分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 To Live is an acclaimed novel by Chinese author Yu Hua that paints a miserable and deeply human portrait of life. Originally 56(1.5分) (publish) in 1993, the book has since gained international recognition for its raw emotional depth and exploration of themes like fate, endurance, and the essence of 57(1.5分) (human). The novel follows the life of Fugui, a once-wealthy landowner who lost his fortune through gambling. As his status shifted to that of a peasant, he 58(1.5分) (witness) the rapid changes of society. Despite enduring relentless hardship, Fugui survived, 59(1.5分) (find) moments of solace (安慰) in small, everyday acts of perseverance. Fugui’s life is basically divided into two stages. One is extravagant through a life of gambling, drunkenness and dreams. 60(1.5分) other is a life of hardship, full of thorns, poverty and suffering. In the former, he is absurd in soul and decadent in body. In the latter he is rich in soul and tough in body. 61(1.5分) gives us this invisible power is not the “master” of the former, but the “people” of the latter; not the “pleasure” of the rich, 62(1.5分) the “tenacity”(固执；韧性) of the poor. To live is not to let go of wealth, but 63(1.5分) (rise) to the challenge of self-improvement. From Fugui making his way through the hardships, twists and turns of life, we can easily see that in life, nine out of 10 times things do not end 64(1.5分) (satisfactory), but the people who have survived and the things that have happened are real and 65(1.5分) (meaning). 五、书面表达 66．（本题15分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 Last week, our school held a cross-country running race (越野跑比赛) to raise money for the local children’s hospital. The race covered a 5-kilometer path around the hill near our school. I signed up for it, hoping to challenge myself and do something good for the sick kids. On the race day, the weather was perfect, sunny and warm. All the runners gathered at the starting line, excited and nervous, while teachers and classmates waved flags and shouted encouragement from the sidelines (场外). When the starting gun went off, we all rushed out. I ran at a steady (稳定的) pace at first, keeping up with the middle group. The path wound through the woods, and the soft wind blew through my hair as I ran, making me feel relaxed and hopeful about the race. About halfway through the race, I noticed a girl named Lily from my class falling behind. She was limping (跛行) badly, holding her left ankle (脚踝), her face pale with pain. I slowed down and asked if she was okay. She told me she had twisted (扭伤) her ankle stepping on a stone, and couldn’t run any more. Actually, Lily was the fastest girl runner in our grade, and she had also trained for weeks for this race. I wanted to keep running. I had trained for this race for a whole month — every morning I got up at 6 to run around the playground, even giving up my weekend cartoons to practice. I really wanted to win a prize. But when I saw her struggling to walk alone, I couldn’t just leave her there. I helped her stand up, letting her put her arm around my shoulder. We walked slowly forward, and she kept apologizing for slowing me down. I told her it was fine, but secretly I felt a little upset that I would miss the chance to finish the race. 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 as we were walking slowly towards the finish line, we heard cheers coming from far away. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: When we finally crossed the finish line, all the people stood up and clapped for us. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 67．（本题25分）阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。 The final exams at Oakwood High were around the corner, and with them, a whispered topic had spread among the seniors: the “Special Room” — a separate, quieter room for students with special needs. With an approved note, students could gain extra time for tests in the room. Leo knew all about it. He was the kind of student who filled his textbooks with colored words and stayed up late reviewing, yet his scores remained frustratingly average. However, his friend, Ethan, who always passed exams effortlessly, should have got the approved note. Leo felt a wave of unease. The pressure peaked when his father, who was worried about college, suggested, “Have you thought about applying for the ‘Special Room’? It might help!” The message was clear. Hoping to relieve the growing anxiety of his own as well as his family’s, Leo applied for the “special room” and eventually he secured the official approval. The note in his hand felt heavy, a clear solution bringing no peace. The evening before the crucial chemistry exam, Leo stared at the note beside his textbook, torn by an inner conflict: “I am not sick; I am just slow. This note is an official permit, but why do I feel like a cheater to use it? I have worked hard for so long, but is it enough for my future? Still, is it worth losing my self-respect?” On exam day, the hallway was a river of nervous energy. To the left was the entrance to the “Special Room”, watched over by Mr. Smith. Leo saw Ethan show his approved note and bounce away. Leo’s hand reached his own pocket, where the note was folded. He felt it there, heavy. The sounds of the crowd around him seemed to fade, leaving him standing between two choices: the ready-made help in his pocket, and the door to the main examination hall, where he would be tested on his own. 注意： （1）续写词数应为150左右； （2）请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 Then, determined, Leo walked into the main examination hall. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Weeks later, the long-awaited exam results were posted. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2 / 2 2 / 2 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。This magazine has a feature article you might find interesting.

When we say modern, we're referring to a specific period of american literature. There are some arguments over the date of this period, but the general understanding is that it's from one thousand hundred and ten to nineteen forty five. This period was marked by a big break from the past, and modern fiction was characterized by themes of disappointment and loss. IT is an important period not just in literature, but in history, too. So you have to consider what was happening in the world when reading the books. And there is a lot of reading those who have taken my previous classes in old english literature and the romantic period. Well, no, I expect you to complete the main reading list, plus a good amount of the suggested reading list too. Now, IT may not surprise you that because of that period, many of the authors were White males such as T. S. Elliot and earnest hemingway. But we'll also look at african american writers whose works are equally important, like novellas, sora, neil hurst and poet length and hues. right? Let's begin in nineteen nine ten.
