第一节
[写作提示]

第二节
[写作提示]
从小跛足的作者很想参加学校的马拉松比赛,但是他迟迟不敢报
名参加。好友 Eric得知后，主动成为作者的陪跑员,帮助作者训练。
在 Eric的鼓励和陪伴下,两人共同参加了比赛。比赛时，作者不断突
破自我,努力奔跑。然而在接近终点时,作者却意外摔倒……根据故事
情节和续写首句可知,在 Eric的帮助下,作者最终完成了比赛。第一部
分学生应围绕作者站起来后努力完成比赛的情节展开,可以描写作者
的内心感受和观众们的反应;续写第二部分学生应该重点描写作者对
Eric的感谢,还可以体现作者通过本次比赛对“友谊”、“永不言败”、“突
破自我”的感悟。
One possible version:
He helped me up. With his support, I got my strength back and
limped forward even though each step was a war against pain and
1
{#{QQABDYaEogiAAAJAAAhCUwFCCgMQkhCCAQgOAAAIoAAAiBNABAA=}#}
tiredness. The cheers of the crowd disappeared into the background as
Eric's voice caught all of my attention,guiding me forward. Finally,
together with Eric, I crossed the finish line. I couldn't believe it. Tears
welled up in my eyes as I realized I'd finally made it as a marathon runner.
Seeing me achieve this milestone, Eric's eyes shone with pride and
happiness.
I hugged Eric close and felt truly thankful. It was his selflessness
and belief in me that pushed me to achieve a dream I once thought
impossible. Thinking back to that unforgettable day, I realized the true
meaning of friendship. Eric not only helped me face my physical
challenges but also taught me the power of never giving up.Together, we
showed that with determination and a supportive friend by your side, any
challenge can be solved.

人生成功道路上的小障碍，它们就会变成收获。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“We are always doing things that someone
else makes us do and aren't allowed to do all the things we like. (我们总
是做别人让我们做的事情，而我们不被允许做所有我们喜欢的事情)”
可知，小时候，有时我们不能做自己喜欢的事情。故选 D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“As a young girl my parents forced my sisters
and me to do so many things that I never liked. (当我还是个小女孩的时
2
{#{QQABDYaEogiAAAJAAAhCUwFCCgMQkhCCAQgOAAAIoAAAiBNABAA=}#}
候，父母强迫我和姐妹们做很多我不喜欢的事情)”和第三段中的
“They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. At that time I
hated music, just because it was what they wanted me to do. But looking
back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music
lessons. (他们让我先学小提琴，然后学钢琴。当时我讨厌音乐，只是
因为那是他们想要我做的。但现在回想起来，我很高兴我的父母鼓励
我去上音乐课)”可知，作者小时候，她的父母强迫她上音乐课。故选
A项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“If we realize that these pains are just
small bumps (凸块) on our road to success we will realize that our
growing pains are actually growing gains！(如果我们意识到这些痛苦只
是我们成功道路上的一个小坎坷，我们就会意识到我们成长的痛苦实

【答案】28. A 29. C 30. A 31. B
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章一项研究表明，狗的摆动尾巴方向的
变化取决于它们的情绪，这一发现有助于人们通过摇尾变化来判断狗
的心情。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“Researchers in Italy examined the tail
wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of
stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras. (意大利的研究人员研究了 30只
狗的摇尾行为，用摄像机捕捉它们对一系列刺激的反应)”和最后一段
中的“While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed
without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help
people judge the mood of dogs. (虽然没有视频的帮助，摇尾巴的变化
不容易被注意到，但人们认为这些发现可以帮助人们判断狗的情绪)”
可知，没有摄像机的帮助，人们很难发现狗的摇尾变化，所以在狗摇
动尾巴时，摄像机更容易捕捉到狗的反应变化。故选 A项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。由第三段中的“The researchers led by Professor Giorgio
Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were
shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails wagged
energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar
3
{#{QQABDYaEogiAAAJAAAhCUwFCCgMQkhCCAQgOAAAIoAAAiBNABAA=}#}
human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The
appearance of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with
less intensity again. (的里亚斯特大学的 Giorgio Vallortigara教授领导
的研究人员发现，当狗狗们看到它们的主人时——这是一个积极的体
验——它们的尾巴积极地向右摇摆。当它们看到一个不熟悉的人类时，
它们的尾巴向右摇摆，但是没有那么热情。一只猫的出现再次引起了
尾巴向右边摇摆，尽管 intensity再次变小了)”可知，这三个例子，同
样都在说狗尾巴向右摇摆，但是热情积极的情绪逐渐下降。因此，划
线词“intensity”和前面的“energetically”，“enthusiasm”应是同义词，
intensity在此处意为“兴奋（excitement）”。故选 C项。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。由第三段中的“When the dogs were not shown any stimuli
they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred
company. (当狗没有受到任何刺激时，它们倾向于向左摇尾巴，这表
明它们更喜欢有人陪伴)”可知，当没有刺激时，狗会向左摇尾巴。故
选 A项。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段中的“While the changes in the tail wagging
were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the
findings could help people judge the mood of puter and video
systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to
determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach. (虽然没
有视频的帮助，摇尾巴的变化不容易被注意到，但人们认为这些发现
可以帮助人们判断狗的情绪。例如，计算机和视频系统可以被专业的
训狗师用来确定他们需要接近的狗的情绪)”可知，此实验能帮助人们
判断狗的情绪，因此做这个实验的目的是帮助人们判断狗的情绪。故
选 B项。
【答案】36.G 37.C 38.F 39.B 40.E
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要为大家提供了如何计划省钱、
令人放松的暑假旅游的建议。包括在高峰期避开七、八月份，灵活出
行可节省开支，选择便宜的目的地等。同时，建议选择有经验的旅游
公司来帮助规划行程，这往往比自己预订更加经济划算。而且，如果
选择便宜的航班公司，不携带行李可以为你节省大量费用。
【36 题详解】
根据上文 “If your summer vacation window is wide open, why not
consider was to skipping (跳过) July and August altogether (如果你的暑
假时间很充裕，为什么不考虑干脆跳过 7月和 8 月呢 )”可知，本句
主要是关于旅游时间的建议，且上文提到了跳过夏季，可知本句是在
建议旅行的最佳季节。故 G选项“It’s much more affordable to travel in
the spring or early autumn when fights and accommodation are
cheaper.(在春季或初秋旅行要便宜得多，因为机票和住宿都比较便
宜。)”符合语境，指出跳过暑期，旅游划算的季节是春季或者初秋。
故选 G。

the United Kingdom, while a trip to South-cast Asia could be more

affordable than you might expect.(葡萄牙和东欧比法国和英国便宜得
多，而去东南亚旅行可能比你想象的更便宜)”可知，后文提到了葡萄
牙、东欧等具体的旅行目的地，可知本句是在针对目的地进行建议。
故 C 选项“Don't forget about the destination you're considering.(不要忘
记你正在考虑的目的地)”符合语境，指出不要忘记考虑目的地。故选
C。
【38 题详解】
根据后文“ If you plan on flying to your destination, for example, it will
be much easier to find seats on flights you like better if you book in
March than if you were to wait until the last minute. The same thing
applies to hotels(例如，如果你计划飞往你的目的地，如果你预定在 3
月份的航班，比你等到最后一分钟才预订要容易得多。同样的道理也
适用于酒店)”可知，本段主要是针对提前预定的建议，F 选项“It’s
always in your best interest to book your summer vacation early.(尽早预
定你的署假总是对你最有利的。)”中 book early 对应后文中 book前
后形成呼应，我指出提前预定暑假总是对你最有利的，符合语境，故
选 F。
【39 题详解】
根据后文“Seasoned tour companies take the stress out of travel so all
you have to do is show up and enjoyyourse1f (经验丰富的旅游公司可
以减轻旅行的压力，所以你所要做的就是出现并享受自己)”可知，本
段主要是建议跟团旅游，指出了跟团旅游的好处是可以减轻旅行的压
力。B 选项“A package tourist a good choice if you're very tired.(如果你
很累的话，跟团旅游是个不错的选择。)”指出，如果你很累的话，跟
团旅游是个不错的选择，与下文提出的跟团旅游的好处相呼应，符合
语境。故选 B。
【40 题详解】
根据后文 “Especially if you're flying on a cheap airline that does not
include luggage(行李), this can be a huge cost saver.(特别是如果你乘坐
的是不含行李的廉价航班，这可以节省大量成本)”可知，后文提到了
没有沉重的行李更加便利，可知本段主要是建议轻装出行。故 E选项
“One of the smartest things you can do when travelling is pack light.(旅
行时最明智的做法之一就是轻装出行。)”符合语境，故选 E。

Growing up, I hated exercise, but things changed when I turned 40.I developed a
painful thing in my neck caused by weight increases. I was told it wasn't dangerous
but could lead to long-term pain. I knew I had to make a change.
I began doing 15 minutes of jumping rope at home or swimming at my local gym
daily. I also cut out the chocolate and fast food and introduced a healthier diet.
I felt fitter and happier within just a few days of moving more and eating more
healthily, but this kind of lifestyle change isn't always easy for women in my country.
It's considered a cultural custom(风俗) for women to avoid showing their skin (皮肤)
in public, which can make gymwear and swimwear difficult. This means many women
3
{#{QQABDYaEogiAAAJAAAhCUwFCCgMQkhCCAQgOAAAIoAAAiBNABAA=}#}
aren't taught to swim as children.
I wanted to prove to other women in my country that showing your skin and
exercising for your own health is nothing to feel bad about. I felt the need to help them
experience the confidence swimming was giving me.
With the support of my parents, I began sharing photos and videos of myself in
swimwear and actively swimming on social media. I received so many comments
from other women thanking me and asking me to teach them how to swim. It was a
big deal for them to see me, in my 40s, taking swimming so seriously and having such
huge rewards, and I jumped at the chance to help them.
Now, three months later, I' m a swimming teacher with a waiting list of 40
women who I teach in person, in small groups at my local gym. My goal is to make it
accessible to everyone; if my mum can jump into the-water and do tumble turns at 71,
anyone can.
24.What led the author to change her lifestyle
A. The pain in her neck. B.Her mother's lifestyle.
C.Her doctor's suggestion. D. The increase in her stress.
25. Why is the author's new lifestyle hard for other women in her country
A. They are not supposed to stay long in public.
B. It is considered time-wasting for them to do exercise.
C. It is considered improper to show their skin in public.
D. They are often asked to stay at home and care for the family.
26.What is the author's parents’ attitude toward her sharing her swimming

Dogs wag (摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are
excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a
study has found.
Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behavior of 30 dogs, catching their
4
{#{QQABDYaEogiAAAJAAAhCUwFCCgMQkhCCAQgOAAAIoAAAiBNABAA=}#}
responses to a range of stimuli (刺激物) with video cameras. To conduct the study
they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The
dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the
experiment at Bari University. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an
opening at the front to allow for them to view various stimuli. They were tested one at
a time.
The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste
found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive experience—their tails
wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human
they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appearance of a cat
again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance
of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail
wagging to the left. Researchers thought the dog was thinking of moving back. When
the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left,
suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not
easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help
people judge the mood of puter and video systems, for example, could be
used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were
required to approach.
28. The video cameras were used to catch the dogs’ responses because________.
A. it was easier to catch the dogs’ response changes in the tail wagging
B. the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time
C. they enabled the dogs’ owners to know about their dogs’ habit
D. the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different
moods
29. The underlined word “intensity” in paragraph 3 means________.
A. Surprise B. worry C. excitement D. interest
30. When there are no stimuli, a dog will ________.
A. wag to the left B. wag to the right
C. not wag at all D. wag to the left and then to the right
31. The purpose of doing the experiment is ________.
A. to train dogs for their owners B. to help people judge the mood of dogs
C. to help dogs find company D. to help people choose their pet dogs

Plastic (塑料) is everywhere. According to the United Nations, a lot of rubbish is
thrown into waterways. There's plastic litter at the bottom of the sea and on top of
mountains. Now plastic has been found in another unlikely place: on the backs of
hermit crabs(寄居蟹). According to a study, hermit crabs are using plastic litter as
shells (壳). Zuzanna Jagiello is a scientist at the University of Warsaw, in Poland.
She's the study's lead author.“Hermit crabs don' t have homes, so they use rubbish.”
Hermit crabs are small, soft-bodied crabs that live near the sea. To protect
themselves, the crabs usually wear seashells that have been left behind by dead sea
snails(海螺).However, according to the study, at least386 hermit crabs have been
found wearing litter. Of the world's 16 kinds of hermit crabs that live on land, 10 have
been seen wearing litter. Nearly nine out of every 10 of those crabs were wearing
plastic waste, such as bottle caps. The others wore glass.
Jagiello says that she and her team first learned about hermit crabs wearing litter
when they noticed photos of them posted online. They decided to learn more by doing
research.
Scientists aren't sure why hermit crabs are choosing litter instead of snail shells.
But they have several ideas. Some sea snail populations are going down. Hermit crabs
could be turning to litter because they can't find enough seashells. It's also possible
that crabs choose plastic because it's light and easy to carry. Or they’re drawn to its
colors.
Scientists agree that plastic pollution badly influences wild animals in many
ways. But it isn't clear that the crabs are in any danger.“It's a great example of the
beauty of adaptation, how some animals are living with humans,"Jagiello says. “What
are the long-term influences of these adaptations We don't know."
32. What do we know about hermit crabs
A. They prefer to live in deep water. B. They are badly harmed by plastic.
C. Many of them have been seen wearing plastic waste.
D. Most of them like glass because of its brightness.
33. What led scientists to do research on hermit crabs
A. Studies carried out by Polish scientists.
B. A report from the United Nations.
C. Requirements of nature lovers.
D. Online photos of hermit crabs.

A. By listing possible reasons. B.By comparing.
C. By explaining research results. D.By following time order.
35. What does Jagiello think about the hermit crabs’ behavior
A. She believes it shows they can deal with the changing environment.
B. She believes it can help them live peacefully with humans.
C. She worries it is having a bad influence on other animals.
D. She worries it will make them lose their living space.

67. 阅读下面短文 ，根据所给情节进行续写 ，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Because of my limp (跛行 )since childhood, I never thought about running a
marathon. However, when my head teacher said last Friday that a campus marathon
was coming up, I really wanted to take part. Considering my physical condition, I
started to feel afraid of signing up.
When my friend Eric learned of my situation, he volunteered to be my running
partner, determined to help me reach the finish line.
Our training journey was challenging yet satisfying. We spent countless hours
running together, starting with short distances and slowly increasing our running
distance. Eric's encouragement and patience were important in keeping me active.
One autumn morning, we set out for our first long training run.With each step, I
felt the weight of my leg, but Eric encouraged me to push through. “Keep going and
you've got this!” Eric's voice rang through the air. As the weeks passed, I noticed great
improvements in my distance and speed. Eric celebrated each small victory I made
and I was gradually getting the confidence and courage to take part in the marathon.
On race day, we stood among a large group of runners. Nervous, I looked at Eric,
who gave me a comforting smile. When everything was ready, we set off.
The first few miles were hard. My limp became more noticeable,and doubts came
into my mind. But Eric's presence was a great source of encouragement. He cheered
me on,reminding me of our months of preparation.
As we neared the end of the marathon, I could see the finish line in sight. But
then, just meters away from the finish line, I fell. Pain went through my leg, and at
that time, I thought about giving up.
“We're almost there! Don't give up!” Eric, running beside me, shouted loudly.
