B “Did you forget your name?” someone asked me at a networking event a few years ago after it took me almost a minute to say it. “No, I stutter (口吃),” I politely replied. This is what I have to face every day. So I wasn’t upset. I’ve stuttered since I was three years old. In my case, stuttering usually shows itself in terms of repetitions: “My name is S-S-S-S-Samuel.” Instead of being unhappy about the experience at the networking event, I felt proud that I’d brought up my stuttering. But I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it. When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at. But things became different after I attended the National Stuttering Association meeting, the largest gathering of stutterers worldwide. It was the first time I’d met so many other professionals who stutter—lawyers, doctors, actors, etc.—all in one place. To my surprise, everyone spoke without fear or embarrassment. In fact, they were proud. Stuttering was celebrated. That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay. The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-workers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encourages them to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still frustrating when I know exactly what I want to say but I just can’t seem to get the words out of my mouth. But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress. 24. By saying “I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it”, the author means ________. A. he was once an outgoing person B. he regretted talking about his stuttering C. he used to avoid opening up about his stuttering D. he was unwilling to receive comments on his speech 25. How did the National Stuttering Association meeting influence the author? A. He began to make friends with stutterers. B. He learned some skills at stopping stuttering there. C. It made him focus his attention on good comments. D. The confident stutterers changed his attitude to stuttering. 26. What happened after the author started bringing up his stuttering? A. He has improved his work performance. B. He became popular among his co-workers. C. He learned to express himself with simple words. D. He was able to build a close relationship with others. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The power of accepting my stutter B. The challenge from normal people C. Special ways to live with stuttering D. My experience of overcoming stuttering C Vertical farming is the method of growing plants and crops over each other, mostly in buildings with many storeys. They often look like skyscrapers with glass around them, similar to a giant greenhouse. Such farming methods can already be seen in cities. For agriculture experts, vertical farming will be in widespread use in the future because the world’s population is growing constantly and there is more need for farming land. Vertical farming offers many advantages. Not only can crops be grown on a smaller area of land, but water can be recycled and used over and over again. Plants grow on minerals and do not need soil. Many farming products can be harvested more than once per year. With the new form of farming, many resources could be saved and forests could be preserved. Burning less fossil fuel would result in fewer emissions, reduction of global warming and healthier environments. Vertical farming can protect crops from bad weather or disasters like hurricanes, storms, droughts or floods. The same weather conditions all year round provide ideal conditions for perfect crops. On the other side, building such vertical farms can prove to be a costly undertaking. During the beginning of such a project, a lot of energy is needed. Because plants require large amounts of sunlight, buildings need to be provided with artificial sunlight the whole year. But compared to traditional farms that take up a lot of space, vertical farming has a low carbon footprint. It can do without fossil fuels because it relies on energy from the sun. Critics are not sure whether vertical farming projects can really be profitable in the long term. They claim that initial costs are too high and suggest that such farms actually need more light and power than in normal regions. Heating and cooling costs would also be enormous. They also say that not all crops can be grown in this way. In my opinion, such farming methods could only be applied to lightweight produce, like small fruits, lettuce and other vegetables. 28. What’s the purpose of building vertical farming? A. To develop healthy plants and crops. B. To satisfy the need of modern farming. C. To make use of natural resources. D. To meet the needs of increasing population. 29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of vertical farming. B. Different forms of vertical farming. C. Ways to manage vertical farming. D. Effects of the changes in farming. 30. What is the advantage of vertical farms compared to traditional farms? A. They use less energy. B. They cost less money. C. They take up less space. D. They rely less on the sun. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming? A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. D As much as I love the rides in theme parks, my favorite part of the experience is the live entertainment. Whether it’s a parade, stage show, “streetmosphere”, or even an impressive nighttime show, I just love the energy that a live performance can bring to a space. It is not uncommon for me to visit a theme park and go on one ride and spend the rest of the time just enjoying the atmosphere. No matter how many times I ride an attraction, I’m having the same experience. But with live entertainment, it constantly changes. Different performers bring their own touch to the show. Even when things go wrong in a live situation, I find it fascinating to see how it is covered. There is an impressive art to fixing an error, or sometimes even making it a comedic moment. But because these live performances aren’t bolted (固定) to the ground and are easily influenced, they are often the first thing to get removed from the parks when there is a shortage of money. As much as I understand this business decision, it feels shortsighted. The parks simply don’t feel alive when live entertainment is missing. Without it, a theme park is just a group of people walking quickly from one ride to the next. We are certainly living in an unprecedented time, but I’m happy to see that theme parks have found creative ways to make sure there is some sort of live entertainment put on safe. Most parks are having their characters and performances visible from a distance. One of my favorite examples of this was shared by @Attractions on Twitter, where Winnie the Pooh was frolicking around Epcot and trying to catch a butterfly. This is such a great example of what can be done with characters and live entertainers in a time when the “norm” isn’t possible, I honestly hope that these special moments remain once it’s safe for the meet-and-greets and close-up interactions to return. 32. What does the author like best in a theme park? A. Joining its parades. B. Observing its visitors. C. Trying its various rides. D. Enjoying its live shows. 33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The error. B. The show. C. The reason. D. The attention. 34. What does the author think of the business decision in paragraph 3? A. It will bring theme parks more business. B. It will make theme parks easily influenced C. It will make theme park rides more popular. D. It will take away the liveliness of theme parks. 35. Why does the author mention Winnie the Pooh? A. To explain what theme parks can do to stay B. To show its popularity among theme park visitors. C. To explain what characters can do to get closer to visitors. D. To show the influence special times can have on theme park. 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Safer Internet Day is a yearly event in which Internet companies, charities, and schools team up to talk about how young people can stay safe online. ____36____ This year’s event is on 8 February.____37____ And it will focus on respect and relationships in games, social apps, and anywhere else that people spend time online.

At 7 years old, the worst thing my parents could ask of me was to talk to someone outside of my immediate family, and presenting in front of my class was a nightmare. As I grew up, I started to notice my fear was affecting my health and social life. I was only 14, yet the idea of a class presentation made me lose sleep and I had a hard time meeting new people and making friends. I felt upset. It seemed impossible for me to get over such fear. I admitted defeat and made peace with knowing I just wasn’t good at public speaking. Deep down I knew it wasn’t a permanent fact — I was always just too scared to try. Two shameful years went by and just when I thought I was fine with my inability to communicate in front of people, my school announced the start of that year’s Model United Nations competition. Model UN consisted of several mock trials during a week-long span, where students would assume a role and debate in front of others. My friends had been a part of Model UN for years and had the best times when they participated. I wanted to join, but I knew I would freeze on the spot. I was tired of missing out on moments with my friends, so I made an impulsive (冲动的) out-of-character decision and joined the club at the last minute. The first day was the worst. I was assigned an important role, and the debate would have been dull if I didn’t participate, so I tried my best to say something. When I stood up to read my opening speech, I froze. I imagined that moment many times, and I was hoping I’d suddenly be able to speak clearly, but the reality was far off from my dream. I didn’t pronounce a single word clearly and nobody understood my argument. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请在答题卡上按照以下格式作答。 The committee’s president saw how scared I was and she encouraged me to speak. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, I was finally able to stand up and speak like I had always wanted to. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 东川区高级中学高二年级期中测试 英语试卷 (考试时间：120分钟 满分：150分 ) 注意事项： 1．本试卷分第Ⅰ卷(选择题)和第Ⅱ卷(非选择题)两部分。答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、准考证号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答第Ⅰ卷时，选出每小题答案后，用2B铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。写在本试卷上无效。 3．回答第Ⅱ卷时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 4．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分： 听力理解(共两节，满分20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。 1. 【此处可播放相关音频，请去附件查看】 What will Justin do this Friday?

C 【解析】 【原文】 M: Over the summer, I came across a notice for a community senior and teen program. It paired up teenagers with neighbors over sixty, so I decided to give it a shot. That’s how I got matched with Mrs. Brown, who lives alone a few streets over. The rules were pretty straightforward: visit Mrs. Brown every Tuesday and Saturday afternoon for about an hour each time. Most of our sessions were about me helping her with tech stuff, like using her phone to message, shop online, or scan old photos into a digital album. I still remember her laugh when she finally sent that album to her daughter all by herself. We also had to turn in a short community memory each week based on our chats. At first, I thought it was kind of a pointless assignment, but hearing Mrs. Brown’s stories about the neighborhood back in the day made me realize something. A community isn’t just houses and streets. It’s built from all these little memories that people carry with them. 第二部分 阅读 (共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15题;每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A Becoming a Nature Lover through Citizen Science Citizen Science is an education series featuring workshops on a variety of topics in a relaxed and inspiring environment.

This is what I have to face every day. So I wasn’t upset. I’ve stuttered since I was three years old. In my case, stuttering usually shows itself in terms of repetitions: “My name is S-S-S-S-Samuel.” Instead of being unhappy about the experience at the networking event, I felt proud that I’d brought up my stuttering. But I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it. When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at. But things became different after I attended the National Stuttering Association meeting, the largest gathering of stutterers worldwide. It was the first time I’d met so many other professionals who stutter—lawyers, doctors, actors, etc.—all in one place. To my surprise, everyone spoke without fear or embarrassment. In fact, they were proud. Stuttering was celebrated. That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay. The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-workers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encourages them to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them. Don’t get me wrong. It’s still frustrating when I know exactly what I want to say but I just can’t seem to get the words out of my mouth. But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress. 24. By saying “I wasn’t always so forthcoming about it”, the author means ________. A. he was once an outgoing person B. he regretted talking about his stuttering C. he used to avoid opening up about his stuttering D. he was unwilling to receive comments on his speech 25. How did the National Stuttering Association meeting influence the author? A. He began to make friends with stutterers. B. He learned some skills at stopping stuttering there. C. It made him focus his attention on good comments. D. The confident stutterers changed his attitude to stuttering. 26. What happened after the author started bringing up his stuttering? A. He has improved his work performance. B. He became popular among his co-workers. C. He learned to express himself with simple words. D. He was able to build a close relationship with others. 27. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. The power of accepting my stutter B. The challenge from normal people C. Special ways to live with stuttering D. My experience of overcoming stuttering 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. D 27. A 【解析】 【导语】本文为一篇记叙文。讲述了作者因为口吃而不愿意与人交流，但在加入了全国口吃协会之后，作者变得自信，不再逃避与人交流，且与人联系紧密起来，在生活中取得了很多进步。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第二段中本句后文“When I was growing up, I hardly spoke. Whether it was at school or at work, I avoided most social situations out of embarrassment and fear of being laughed at.（在我成长过程中，我很少说话。无论是在学校还是在工作中，因害怕尴尬和被嘲笑，我会去避免社交。）”可知，作者的意思是他过去常常避免提及自己口吃的事情，也因为害怕尴尬和被嘲笑，而避免社交，故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段“That was when I first realized that stuttering isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s just something I happen to do, and that’s okay.（就在那时，我意识到，口吃并不是什么令人羞愧的事情，这只是我碰巧做的事情，没什么关系的。）”可知，在参加了国家口吃协会后，作者对口吃有了新的认识，协会里自信的口吃者给了改变了他对口吃原有的态度，故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“The change didn’t happen overnight, but over the last eight years, I’ve started to bring up my stuttering more. I’ve talked to friends and co-workers. I’ve mentioned it in every organization I’ve worked for. And when I talk about it with others, it encourages them to open up, too. My stuttering has allowed me to connect with others and develop stronger ties with them.（这种改变并不是一夜之间发生的，在过去的八年间，我开始更多地提到我的口吃。我和朋友和同事交流，在每个我工作的机构里，我都会提及我的口吃。当我与其他人提起时，也鼓励了他们与我交流。勇敢面对口吃让我敢于与其他人交流，也让我与其他人培养了紧密的联系。）”可知，在作者勇敢面对自己的口吃后，作者与其他人建立了紧密的联系，故选D。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其文章最后一段“But today I don’t let my stuttering hold me back. Instead, I let it push me forward and help me make progress.（但是今天，我不再让我的口吃阻止我。相反，我让它推动我前进，帮助我取得进步。）”可知，本文主要讲述了作者因为口吃而不愿意与人交流，但在加入了全国口吃协会之后，接受了自己的口吃，作者变得自信，不再逃避与人交流，且与人联系紧密起来，在生活中取得了很多进步。故A项“接受口吃的力量”符合文章标题，故选A。 C Vertical farming is the method of growing plants and crops over each other, mostly in buildings with many storeys. They often look like skyscrapers with glass around them, similar to a giant greenhouse. Such farming methods can already be seen in cities. For agriculture experts, vertical farming will be in widespread use in the future because the world’s population is growing constantly and there is more need for farming land. Vertical farming offers many advantages. Not only can crops be grown on a smaller area of land, but water can be recycled and used over and over again. Plants grow on minerals and do not need soil. Many farming products can be harvested more than once per year. With the new form of farming, many resources could be saved and forests could be preserved. Burning less fossil fuel would result in fewer emissions, reduction of global warming and healthier environments. Vertical farming can protect crops from bad weather or disasters like hurricanes, storms, droughts or floods. The same weather conditions all year round provide ideal conditions for perfect crops. On the other side, building such vertical farms can prove to be a costly undertaking. During the beginning of such a project, a lot of energy is needed. Because plants require large amounts of sunlight, buildings need to be provided with artificial sunlight the whole year. But compared to traditional farms that take up a lot of space, vertical farming has a low carbon footprint. It can do without fossil fuels because it relies on energy from the sun. Critics are not sure whether vertical farming projects can really be profitable in the long term. They claim that initial costs are too high and suggest that such farms actually need more light and power than in normal regions. Heating and cooling costs would also be enormous. They also say that not all crops can be grown in this way. In my opinion, such farming methods could only be applied to lightweight produce, like small fruits, lettuce and other vegetables. 28. What’s the purpose of building vertical farming? A. To develop healthy plants and crops. B. To satisfy the need of modern farming. C. To make use of natural resources. D. To meet the needs of increasing population. 29. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about? A. The benefits of vertical farming. B. Different forms of vertical farming. C. Ways to manage vertical farming. D. Effects of the changes in farming. 30. What is the advantage of vertical farms compared to traditional farms? A. They use less energy. B. They cost less money. C. They take up less space. D. They rely less on the sun. 31. What is the author’s attitude towards vertical farming? A. Opposed. B. Supportive. C. Objective. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】28. D 29. A 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了垂直农业，包括它所带来的好处，以及人们的一些质疑。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“For agriculture experts, vertical farming will be in widespread use in the future because the world’s population is growing constantly and there is more need for farming land.（对于农业专家来说，垂直农业在未来将被广泛使用，因为世界人口不断增长，对耕地的需求也越来越大）”可知，建立垂直农业的目的是为了满足增长的人口的需求。故选D。 【29题详解】 主旨大意题。根据本段的主要内容，尤其“With the new form of farming, many resources could be saved and forests could be preserved. （有了新的农业形式（垂直农业），许多资源可以被保存，森林可以被保护）”可知，本段主要介绍了垂直农业能够带来的好处。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“But compared to traditional farms that take up a lot of space, vertical farming has a low carbon footprint. （但与占用大量空间的传统农场相比，垂直农业的碳足迹较低）”可知，与传统农业相比，垂直农业的优势是占用的空间少。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段的“With the new form of farming, many resources could be saved and forests could be preserved. （有了新的农业形式（垂直农业），许多资源可以被保存，森林可以被保护）”，和最后一段的“They claim that initial costs are too high and suggest that such farms actually need more light and power than in normal regions. Heating and cooling costs would also be enormous. They also say that not all crops can be grown in this way. （他们声称，最初的成本太高，表明这种农场实际上比正常地区需要更多的光和电。供暖和制冷成本也将是巨大的。他们还表示，并非所有作物都能以这种方式种植）”可知，作者既介绍了垂直农业的优点，也介绍它的不足。由此推知，作者对垂直农业的态度是客观的。故选C。 D As much as I love the rides in theme parks, my favorite part of the experience is the live entertainment. Whether it’s a parade, stage show, “streetmosphere”, or even an impressive nighttime show, I just love the energy that a live performance can bring to a space. It is not uncommon for me to visit a theme park and go on one ride and spend the rest of the time just enjoying the atmosphere. No matter how many times I ride an attraction, I’m having the same experience. But with live entertainment, it constantly changes. Different performers bring their own touch to the show. Even when things go wrong in a live situation, I find it fascinating to see how it is covered. There is an impressive art to fixing an error, or sometimes even making it a comedic moment. But because these live performances aren’t bolted (固定) to the ground and are easily influenced, they are often the first thing to get removed from the parks when there is a shortage of money. As much as I understand this business decision, it feels shortsighted. The parks simply don’t feel alive when live entertainment is missing. Without it, a theme park is just a group of people walking quickly from one ride to the next. We are certainly living in an unprecedented time, but I’m happy to see that theme parks have found creative ways to make sure there is some sort of live entertainment put on safe. Most parks are having their characters and performances visible from a distance. One of my favorite examples of this was shared by @Attractions on Twitter, where Winnie the Pooh was frolicking around Epcot and trying to catch a butterfly. This is such a great example of what can be done with characters and live entertainers in a time when the “norm” isn’t possible, I honestly hope that these special moments remain once it’s safe for the meet-and-greets and close-up interactions to return. 32. What does the author like best in a theme park? A. Joining its parades. B. Observing its visitors. C. Trying its various rides. D. Enjoying its live shows. 33. What does the underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 refer to? A. The error. B. The show. C. The reason. D. The attention. 34. What does the author think of the business decision in paragraph 3? A. It will bring theme parks more business. B. It will make theme parks easily influenced C. It will make theme park rides more popular. D. It will take away the liveliness of theme parks. 35. Why does the author mention Winnie the Pooh? A. To explain what theme parks can do to stay B. To show its popularity among theme park visitors. C. To explain what characters can do to get closer to visitors. D. To show the influence special times can have on theme park. 【答案】32. D 33. A 34. D 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章介绍了作者认为主题公园里的现场娱乐表演让公园更有活力，体验更好。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段的“As much as I love the rides in theme parks, my favorite part of the experience is the live entertainment. Whether it’s a parade, stage show, “streetmosphere”, or even an impressive nighttime show, I just love the energy that a live performance can bring to a space. ( 虽然我很喜欢主题公园里的游乐设施，但我最喜欢的部分是现场娱乐。无论是游行、舞台表演、“街头氛围”，甚至是令人印象深刻的夜间表演，我喜欢现场表演给空间带来的活力。)”可知，作者在主题公园里，最喜欢做的事情是欣赏现场表演。故选D。 【33题详解】 词义猜测题。根据画线句和下文“Even when things go wrong in a live situation, I find it fascinating to see how it is covered. There is an impressive art to fixing an error, or sometimes even making it a comedic moment.( 即使在现场情形中出了问题，我也很高兴看到人们是如何掩盖它的。修正错误是一门令人印象深刻的艺术，有时甚至会使它成为一个喜剧时刻。)”可知，it指代前文提到的“things go wrong”，即下文的“error”。故选A。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段的“As much as I understand this business decision, it feels shortsighted. The parks simply don’t feel alive when live entertainment is missing. (尽管我了解这一商业决策，单数感觉它是目光短浅的。当现场表演不见的时候，公园就会没有活力。)”可知，对于这个商业决定，作者认为它会带走主题公园的活力。故选D。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段的“One of my favorite examples of this was shared by @Attractions on Twitter, where Winnie the Pooh was frolicking around Epcot and trying to catch a butterfly. This is such a great example of what can be done with characters and live entertainers in a time when the “norm” isn’t possible, I honestly hope that these special moments remain once it’s safe for the meet-and-greets and close-up interactions to return.( 我最喜欢的一个例子是推特上的@Attractions分享的，小熊维尼在未来世界里嬉戏，试图抓一只蝴蝶。这是一个很好的例子，说明在一个“规范”不可能实现的时代，角色和现场艺人可以做些什么，我真诚地希望一旦见面和近距离互动安全了这些特殊的时刻能够保留下来。)”可知，作者希望在近距离互动安全的时候，可以把像小熊维尼这样的特殊时刻保留下来，因此推断提到小熊维尼是为了解释主题公园里角色可以做些什么接近观众。故选C。 第二节 七选五(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Safer Internet Day is a yearly event in which Internet companies, charities, and schools team up to talk about how young people can stay safe online. ____36____ This year’s event is on 8 February.____37____ And it will focus on respect and relationships in games, social apps, and anywhere else that people spend time online.

At 7 years old, the worst thing my parents could ask of me was to talk to someone outside of my immediate family, and presenting in front of my class was a nightmare. As I grew up, I started to notice my fear was affecting my health and social life. I was only 14, yet the idea of a class presentation made me lose sleep and I had a hard time meeting new people and making friends. I felt upset. It seemed impossible for me to get over such fear. I admitted defeat and made peace with knowing I just wasn’t good at public speaking. Deep down I knew it wasn’t a permanent fact — I was always just too scared to try. Two shameful years went by and just when I thought I was fine with my inability to communicate in front of people, my school announced the start of that year’s Model United Nations competition. Model UN consisted of several mock trials during a week-long span, where students would assume a role and debate in front of others. My friends had been a part of Model UN for years and had the best times when they participated. I wanted to join, but I knew I would freeze on the spot. I was tired of missing out on moments with my friends, so I made an impulsive (冲动的) out-of-character decision and joined the club at the last minute. The first day was the worst. I was assigned an important role, and the debate would have been dull if I didn’t participate, so I tried my best to say something. When I stood up to read my opening speech, I froze. I imagined that moment many times, and I was hoping I’d suddenly be able to speak clearly, but the reality was far off from my dream. I didn’t pronounce a single word clearly and nobody understood my argument. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右。 2.请在答题卡上按照以下格式作答。 The committee’s president saw how scared I was and she encouraged me to speak. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ By the end of the week, I was finally able to stand up and speak like I had always wanted to. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The committee’s president saw how scared I was and she encouraged me to speak. She told me everyone felt nervous at first and no one would judge my imperfect words. Inspired by her kindness, I took a deep breath and tried again slowly. Every afternoon after class, I stayed in the empty classroom to practise my lines repeatedly. Whenever panic rose inside me, I reminded myself that progress mattered more than perfection. Little by little, I grew braver and dared to raise my voice during small group discussions. By the end of the week, I was finally able to stand up and speak like I had always wanted to. My voice was steady and my points were fully understood by all members. I didn’t become a perfect speaker overnight, but I beat my long-lasting fear of public speaking. This unforgettable experience taught me that courage doesn’t mean having no fear. It means moving forward bravely even when you are terrified. I felt proud of myself for making that brave impulsive choice. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的当众演讲恐惧为线索展开，讲述了长期惧怕公开发言的作者，为融入朋友毅然加入模联社团，首次发言失败受挫，最终坚持练习、突破自我、战胜内心恐惧的成长故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写 ① 由第一段首句内容可知，接下来可描写主席的暖心安慰、作者重拾勇气，以及课后反复练习、朋友热心帮助，逐步克服紧张、大胆开口的过程。 ② 由第二段首句内容可知，接下来可描写作者成功流畅发言的表现，总结本次经历的收获，领悟勇气的真谛，实现自我突破与成长。 2. 续写线索 主席暖心安慰鼓励——作者重拾勇气、坚持课后练习——逐步克服紧张、敢于发言——成功流畅完成发言——领悟勇气的真谛、收获成长与自信 3.词类激活 行为类 ①告诉：tell/inform ②激励：inspire/motivate 情绪类 ①紧张的：nervous/anxious/tense ②恐惧：fear/horror 【点睛】【高分句型1】Inspired by her kindness, I took a deep breath and tried again slowly.(运用了过去分词inspired作状语) 【高分句型2】This unforgettable experience taught me that courage doesn’t mean having no fear.(运用了that引导宾语从句) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力部分，该部分分为第一第二两节。注意回答听力部分时，请先将答案标在试卷上。听力部分结束前，你将有两分钟的时间将答案转涂到客观题答题卡上。听力考试正式开始，请看听力部分第一节，第一节听下面5段对话，每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。例如现在你有5秒钟的时间看试卷上的例题。你将听到以下内容。Excuse me. can you tell . me how much the shirt is?
