Simone Biles is a remarkable athlete, having won 7 Olympic medals across two Olympic Games. However, in 2020, she shocked the world when she quitted from the Tokyo Games due to some mental problems. Many praised it as a brave decision, as mental health is just as important as physical health. The athlete said she often suddenly lost the sense of direction during the Games, which meant she could no longer sense her body move in the air. It is dangerous for any athlete.
Since then, Biles has focused on her personal life, marrying the love of her life in the process. Recently, USA Gymnastics announced that Biles is ready to return to gymnastics. She is scheduled to compete at the coming US Classic in August, and fans are waiting eagerly to see her in action. Joining Biles in the upcoming competition are 12 Olympic and 16 World Championships roster members. Some notable names include Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee and 2020 Olympic floor champion Jade Carey, among others.
Before Simone Biles became a successful athlete, she and her siblings experienced a “hungry” childhood. Biles’ love for gymnastics began on a field trip. They visited a local gymnasium, where she was given a flyer (传单) to join the program. Biles was a natural, but she didn’t see her potential right away. Little did she know, but everybody else around her did. Her difficult beginnings set the stage for Biles to become one of the most successful sportswomen. Her parents gave their 100% support for her to grow up in the environment she was great at.
Biles has everything she could need to live a golden life— a supportive family, a loving boyfriend and a passion, which also happens to be her career. At 26 years old, she has her whole life ahead of her and is expected to continue dominating (统治) the gymnastics world in the coming years.
4. What did Simone Biles do during the 2020 Olympic Games
A. She dropped out unexpectedly.
B. She won her seventh Olympic medal.
C. She hurt others due to dangerous moves.
D. She shocked the world with her great performance.
5. How do Biles’ fans feel about her return to gymnastics
A. Worried. B. Disappointed.
C. Excited. D. Shocked.
6. What does the author want to convey through Biles’ story
A. One’s birth decides his or her future.
B. Quitting doesn’t necessarily mean giving up.
C. One should never give up his or her own job.
D. A person’s success requires all kinds of preparations.
7. Where is the text probably from
A. A guidebook. B. A fashion magazine.
C. A book review. D. A news report.
C
A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport (walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health.
The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex. However, previous studies have found that especially school-based physical activity, such as physical education, can improve classroom performance — particularly in mathematics. Despite this, few studies have examined the association between active school transport and educational outcomes.
In the recently published study of over 34, 000 teenagers, researchers observed that active school transport was associated with higher chances of high perceived academic performance and self-reported competence in academic skills. Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class. The association was even stronger for leisure-time physical activity. Similar to previous studies, the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and mathematical skills stood out.
Leisure-time physical activity was also inversely associated (负相关的) with school burnout. As little as 30 minutes of weekly activity was associated with 24% lower possibilities of school burnout. Teenagers who engaged in leisure-time physical activity for 4 to 6 hours a week had 46% lower possibilities of school burnout compared to their physically inactive peers. Both leisure-time physical activity and active school transport were also positively
associated with school enjoyment.
“To the best of my knowledge, this was the first large-scale study to examine the association between physical activity and school burnout among teenagers. Leisure-time physical activity can be an effective way to disconnect from schoolwork and the potential stress related to it. If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant,” said Juuso Jussila, a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Eastern Finland.
8. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on
A. Its purpose. B. Its subjects. C. Its result. D. Its process.
9. According to the text, the relationship between workout and academic performance is ________.
A. complex B. clear C. meaningless D. simple
10. How may a student cycling to school perform
A. Feel tired in class. B. Pay more attention in class.
C. Be afraid of learning mathematics. D. Be eager to do physical activity.
11. What’s Jussila’s suggestion for schools
A. Asking students to respect teachers. B. Teaching students how to be happy.
C. Focusing on improving students’ scores. D. Increasing students’ time for physical activity.
D
Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers.
It is well known that nature has a positive effect on people. In cities in particular, studies have shown that trees and other greenery contribute to people’s wellbeing. However, experts do not agree on the reasons behind this phenomenon.
Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have reviewed several studies within this field that examine both innate factors and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children.
In a Japanese study, subjects were asked to walk in a forest and in a city while their heartbeat was measured. This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature.
Another environmental psychology study found that research subjects are unconsciously (无意识地) drawn to nature instead of cities, and that this attraction was strengthened in those whose childhood was rich in nature.
An additional study on identical and non-identical twins showed that a genetic (遗传的) component influences an individual’s positive or negative relationship with nature. But the study also highlighted the importance of environment in terms of attitudes towards nature.
Moreover, nature can mean completely different things to different people. Some enjoy parks with lawns and planted trees, while others prefer being in the wilderness. The researchers believe that this variation is also determined by both genetics and environment.
“So it’s important that we don’t standardise nature when planning greenery in our towns and cities,” adds Marcus Hedblom, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and co-author of the article. “We shouldn’t replace wild greenery with a park and assume that it will be good for everyone.”
12. How did the author introduce the topic
A. By bringing up an argument. B. By listing a series of facts.
C. By referring to different opinions. D. By asking and answering questions.
13. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Social. B. Inborn. C. Extra. D. Unique.
14. What did the Japanese study indicate
A. People had a negative experience in nature.
B People were unconsciously drawn to nature.
C. All people didn’t respond to nature positively.
D. The feeling toward nature was related to childhood.
15 What is a suitable title for the text
A. Why Do We Love Nature B. How Do People Feel in Nature
C. What Makes Nature So Powerful D. Why Is Nature Important to Humans

47. 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。
I have never been creative, so despite enjoying most of school, I had a tough time with creative writing assignments. One year, we had a short story assigned that was especially big — ten to twenty pages — and worth an especially large part of that semester’s final mark. I was unable to think up even a bad idea, let alone a good one.
Then, the Sunday before it was due, I awoke having had a dream that would work fine for the short story! I wrote it all down. A young man killed all the bad men in the village, but then more people became bad guys. In the end, the young man realized that killing could never make the world a better place.
Monday arrived, but the teacher announced an extra week was being given since many kids were having trouble getting their stories done on time. So, a few of us who had our stories ready exchanged them to read. My friend read my story. I said, “I had great trouble doing it, but then, like a miracle, this came to me in a dream!”
My friend was surprised, “That wasn’t out of your subconsciousness (潜意识). That was the story of the last movie you saw. How could you forget ! We watched it three weeks ago.”
“Oh my God. You’re right! What have I done This is cheating!”
I was a good kid who got good marks easily, so I had never even for a moment considered cheating before. But I had no other story idea with which to redo the assignment. Eventually, I persuaded myself it was morally acceptable because I had written it in my own words, with the story of my choice, not copied something completely, and I had not stolen the idea purposely. So, I handed it in.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；

Simone Biles is a remarkable athlete, having won 7 Olympic medals across two Olympic Games. However, in 2020, she shocked the world when she quitted from the Tokyo Games due to some mental problems. Many praised it as a brave decision, as mental health is just as important as physical health. The athlete said she often suddenly lost the sense of direction during the Games, which meant she could no longer sense her body move in the air. It is dangerous for any athlete.
Since then, Biles has focused on her personal life, marrying the love of her life in the process. Recently, USA Gymnastics announced that Biles is ready to return to gymnastics. She is scheduled to compete at the coming US Classic in August, and fans are waiting eagerly to see her in action. Joining Biles in the upcoming competition are 12 Olympic and 16 World Championships roster members. Some notable names include Olympic gold medalist Sunisa Lee and 2020 Olympic floor champion Jade Carey, among others.
Before Simone Biles became a successful athlete, she and her siblings experienced a “hungry” childhood. Biles’ love for gymnastics began on a field trip. They visited a local gymnasium, where she was given a flyer (传单) to join the program. Biles was a natural, but she didn’t see her potential right away. Little did she know, but everybody else around her did. Her difficult beginnings set the stage for Biles to become one of the most successful sportswomen. Her parents gave their 100% support for her to grow up in the environment she was great at.
Biles has everything she could need to live a golden life— a supportive family, a loving boyfriend and a passion, which also happens to be her career. At 26 years old, she has her whole life ahead of her and is expected to continue dominating (统治) the gymnastics world in the coming years.

A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport (walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health.
The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex. However, previous studies have found that especially school-based physical activity, such as physical education, can improve classroom performance — particularly in mathematics. Despite this, few studies have examined the association between active school transport and educational outcomes.
In the recently published study of over 34, 000 teenagers, researchers observed that active school transport was associated with higher chances of high perceived academic performance and self-reported competence in academic skills. Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class. The association was even stronger for leisure-time physical activity. Similar to previous studies, the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and mathematical skills stood out.
Leisure-time physical activity was also inversely associated (负相关的) with school burnout. As little as 30 minutes of weekly activity was associated with 24% lower possibilities of school burnout. Teenagers who engaged in leisure-time physical activity for 4 to 6 hours a week had 46% lower possibilities of school burnout compared to their physically inactive peers. Both leisure-time physical activity and active school transport were also positively
associated with school enjoyment.
“To the best of my knowledge, this was the first large-scale study to examine the association between physical activity and school burnout among teenagers. Leisure-time physical activity can be an effective way to disconnect from schoolwork and the potential stress related to it. If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant,” said Juuso Jussila, a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Eastern Finland.
8. Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on
A. Its purpose. B. Its subjects. C. Its result. D. Its process.
9. According to the text, the relationship between workout and academic performance is ________.
A. complex B. clear C. meaningless D. simple
10. How may a student cycling to school perform
A. Feel tired in class. B. Pay more attention in class.
C. Be afraid of learning mathematics. D. Be eager to do physical activity.
11. What’s Jussila’s suggestion for schools
A. Asking students to respect teachers. B. Teaching students how to be happy.
C. Focusing on improving students’ scores. D. Increasing students’ time for physical activity.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文，一项研究表明，多参加学校体育活动有助于提高学生的学业表现。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport(walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health.(东芬兰大学领导的一项研究表明，积极参与学校交通（每周至少一次步行/骑自行车上下学）和闲暇时间体育锻炼的青少年在中学的表现要比不怎么运动的同龄人好。有规律的闲暇时间体育活动也与降低学校倦怠的可能性有关。研究结果发表在《欧洲公共卫生杂志》上)”可知，第一段主要是讲述这项研究的结果，在学校里多进行体育活动的学生在学校表现更好，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex.(体育活动和学业成绩之间的关系是复杂的)”可知，锻炼和学习成绩之间的关系是复杂的，故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class.(例如，上学前进行体育锻炼可以提高课堂上的注意力)”可知，上学前进行体育锻炼可以提高课堂上的注意力，所以骑自行车上学的孩子可能在课堂上的注意力更集中，故选B。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中Jussila说的话“If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant(如果学校能增加青少年在闲暇时间的体育活动，对学习和健康都有很大的好处)”可知，Jussila建议学校增加学生的体育活动时间，故选D。
D
Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers.
It is well known that nature has a positive effect on people. In cities in particular, studies have shown that trees and other greenery contribute to people’s wellbeing. However, experts do not agree on the reasons behind this phenomenon.
Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have reviewed several studies within this field that examine both innate factors and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children.
In a Japanese study, subjects were asked to walk in a forest and in a city while their heartbeat was measured. This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature.
Another environmental psychology study found that research subjects are unconsciously (无意识地) drawn to nature instead of cities, and that this attraction was strengthened in those whose childhood was rich in nature.
An additional study on identical and non-identical twins showed that a genetic (遗传的) component influences an individual’s positive or negative relationship with nature. But the study also highlighted the importance of environment in terms of attitudes towards nature.
Moreover, nature can mean completely different things to different people. Some enjoy parks with lawns and planted trees, while others prefer being in the wilderness. The researchers believe that this variation is also determined by both genetics and environment.
“So it’s important that we don’t standardise nature when planning greenery in our towns and cities,” adds Marcus Hedblom, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and co-author of the article. “We shouldn’t replace wild greenery with a park and assume that it will be good for everyone.”
12. How did the author introduce the topic
A. By bringing up an argument. B. By listing a series of facts.
C. By referring to different opinions. D. By asking and answering questions.
13. What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Social. B. Inborn. C. Extra. D. Unique.
14. What did the Japanese study indicate
A. People had a negative experience in nature.
B. People were unconsciously drawn to nature.
C. All people didn’t respond to nature positively.
D. The feeling toward nature was related to childhood.
15. What is a suitable title for the text
A. Why Do We Love Nature B. How Do People Feel in Nature
C. What Makes Nature So Powerful D. Why Is Nature Important to Humans
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是研究人员说，人们对自然的热爱是高度个人化的，应该会影响我们如何规划城市。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with (人类对自然有着积极的看法。但这是由于我们在成长过程中学到的一种方法，还是我们与生俱来的？)”和“The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.(哥德堡大学和瑞典农业科学大学的研究人员表示，答案是“两者都有”。)”可知，作者是通过提问和回答问题引入话题的。故选D。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段“But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with (但这是由于我们在成长过程中学到的一种方法，还是我们与生俱来的？)”和第三段“and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children(以及个人在他们的生活中，主要是在儿童时期所经历的)”可知，划线词所在的句子表示“University of Gothenburg和Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences的研究人员回顾了该领域的几项研究，这些研究既考察了先天因素，也考察了个人在生活中（主要是在儿童时期）经历的事情”，划线词innate的意思是“天生的”，和inborn意思相近，故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature.(研究表明，65%的人在森林中散步时，积极情绪增加了。因此，远非每个人都有一个积极的自然观。)”可知，日本的研究表明了并不是所有的人都对自然做出积极的反应。故选C。
15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段“Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers.(人类对自然有着积极的看法。但这是由于我们在成长过程中学到的一种方法，还是我们与生俱来的？哥德堡大学和瑞典农业科学大学的研究人员表示，答案是“两者都有”。研究人员说，我们对自然的热爱是高度个人化的，应该会影响我们如何规划城市。)”可知，本文主要讲的是研究人员说，人们对自然的热爱是高度个人化的，应该会影响我们如何规划城市，也就是我们为什么会热爱大自然，因此最恰当的题目是A选项“Why Do We Love Nature (我们为什么热爱大自然？)”。故选A。

You accept the possibility of being wrong
____19____. They are always able to accept the possibility that they are wrong, that they don’t know something, because there is always more to learn.

根据本段内容“Often, we see how badly people look when they get overly upset due to unimportant things. So the first sign of maturity (成熟) is letting the small things go and not getting angry over a tiny detail that didn’t go as you planned.(通常，我们看到人们因为不重要的事情而过度沮丧时的样子是多么糟糕。所以成熟的第一个标志就是让小事过去，不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气)”可知，本段提到“让小事过去，不要因为没有按计划进行的小细节而生气”，即建议不计较小事情。故B项“你不计较小事”适合作本节的小标题。故选B。
【17题详解】
根据标题“You start forgiving and understanding other people(你开始原谅和理解别人)”；空前“As we mature, we are better able to understand the world beyond black and white.(随着我们的成熟，我们能够更好地理解非黑即白的世界)”及空后“It enables us to look beyond the obvious and let go of simple judgments.(它使我们能够超越显而易见的事物，放弃简单的判断)”可知，本段的主旨是理解他人，更好地理解非黑即白的世界，F选项中understanding对应标题中understanding。故F项“变得更加善解人意是一种力量，而不是软弱”符合语境。故选F。
【18题详解】
根据空前“Immature people don’t know when to commit (承诺) themselves and their energy or resources are always not well employed.(不成熟的人不知道什么时候该承诺自己，他们的精力和资源总是没有得到很好的利用)”及空后“In this way, they can often keep their promises and honor their commitments.(通过这种方式，他们通常可以遵守他们的承诺和履行他们的承诺)”可知，上文提到了不成熟的人的做法，可知本句是在说明成熟的人会怎么做。C选项中mature people与上文Immature people相对应。故C项“相反，成熟的人专注于完成重要的事情”符合语境。故选C。

【20题详解】
根据空前“You are never done learning and developing. This means that you don’t set yourself up as the highest authority.(你永远不会停止学习和发展。这意味着你没有把自己设定为最高权威)”可知，上文提到了“没有把自己设定为最高权威”，故本句与上文构成转折，指出这种特性会导致的结果：你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性。故E项“相反，你会敞开心扉接受其他的想法和新的可能性”符合语境。故选E。

【导语】这是一篇说明文。民意调查显示几乎四分之三的成年人在年轻时参加过体育运动，但只有四分之一的人成年后继续参加体育运动。体育运动不仅能帮助小孩健康成长，同时也能让成年人保持健康和幸福。
【36题详解】
考查时态。句意：最近，一项民意调查发现，尽管几乎四分之三的成年人在年轻时参加过体育运动，但只有四分之一的人成年后继续参加体育运动。分析句子结构可知，成年人小的时候应该是过去事实，应使用一般过去时，且从句中主语they（他们）是复数概念，空处应使用be动词过去式were。故填were。
【37题详解】
考查介词。句意：事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语in fact，意为“事实上”。位于句首时首字母大写。故填In。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词parents（家长）指人，且从句中缺少定语，可使用关系代词whose在从句中作定语。故填whose。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意：事实上，近十分之九的初高中孩子参加体育运动的父母说，他们的孩子从体育运动中受益匪浅。分析句子结构可知，此处是固定短语a great deal，意为“很多”。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查代词。句意：而且，虽然大多数成年人自己不再参加体育运动，但大多数父母说，他们的孩子长大后很可能或有可能继续参加体育运动。分析句子结构可知，句中主语adults（成人）与宾语为同一对象时，应使用其反身代词。故填themselves。
【41题详解】
考查形容词。句意：四分之一的父母也希望自己的孩子成为职业运动员。分析句子结构可知，空处可使用形容词professional（职业的；专业的）在句中作定语修饰名词athletes（运动员）。故填professional。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意：它们帮助儿童和成人保持合适的体重，教导接受和团队合作，并为生活在贫困中的儿童扩大机会。分析句子结构和不定冠词a可知，空处可使用单数名词weight（体重）在句中作宾语。故填weight。
【43题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：它们帮助儿童和成人保持合适的体重，教导接受和团队合作，并为生活在贫困中的儿童扩大机会。分析句子结构可知，句中已有谓语expand，空处应使用非谓语。children和live之间是逻辑上的主动关系，因此需使用现在分词，作后置定语，故填living。
【44题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：“这项调查表明，我们必须继续鼓励孩子们参加体育运动，但同样重要的是，我们必须找到让成年人参与体育运动的方法，以保持健康和幸福。”分析句子结构可知，此处陈述一般事实，且主语this poll为单数形式，空处应使用一般现在时。故填indicates。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语。句意：“这项调查表明，我们必须继续鼓励孩子们参加体育运动，但同样重要的是，我们必须找到让成年人参与体育运动的方法，以保持健康和幸福。”名词way后常接不定式作后置定语，表示“做某事的方法”，故填to keep。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
I have never been creative, so despite enjoying most of school, I had a tough time with creative writing assignments. One year, we had a short story assigned that was especially big — ten to twenty pages — and worth an especially large part of that semester’s final mark. I was unable to think up even a bad idea, let alone a good one.
Then, the Sunday before it was due, I awoke having had a dream that would work fine for the short story! I wrote it all down. A young man killed all the bad men in the village, but then more people became bad guys. In the end, the young man realized that killing could never make the world a better place.
Monday arrived, but the teacher announced an extra week was being given since many kids were having trouble getting their stories done on time. So, a few of us who had our stories ready exchanged them to read. My friend read my story. I said, “I had great trouble doing it, but then, like a miracle, this came to me in a dream!”
My friend was surprised, “That wasn’t out of your subconsciousness (潜意识). That was the story of the last movie you saw. How could you forget ! We watched it three weeks ago.”
“Oh my God. You’re right! What have I done This is cheating!”
I was a good kid who got good marks easily, so I had never even for a moment considered cheating before. But I had no other story idea with which to redo the assignment. Eventually, I persuaded myself it was morally acceptable because I had written it in my own words, with the story of my choice, not copied something completely, and I had not stolen the idea purposely. So, I handed it in.
注意：1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A few days later, I was called into the teacher’s office.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I couldn’t accept this excellent award with peace of mind.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
A few days later, I was called into the teacher’s office. I thought for sure I would be punished for cheating! But as a few students entered the office, the teacher began to say words of praise, and I realized that he had no idea! The teacher didn’t know my story was one of the biggest movies of this year! He thought it was 100% my original story. He admired the plot of the story and gave me an excellent grade for the assignment!
I couldn’t accept this excellent award with peace of mind. After the other students left, I opened up to my teacher about my creative process and my psychological struggle. The teacher’s expression from shock to satisfaction let me feel a weight off my mind. My story needed to be rewritten, but it was okay. I was finally at peace. Maybe this was the best material for my assignment.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者在创造性写作上有困难，一次老师布置了一份比较难的作业：写一篇特别长的短篇故事，因为作业有点难，老师周一宣布延时一周再交，作者把故事交给朋友看并向朋友说这次自己创造力爆棚，朋友看了故事后，说作者的故事是作者之前看的电影的内容，作者虽认为这是作弊，但因为是用自己的话写出来的，道德上可接受，作者最终还是原样上交了它。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“几天后，我被叫到老师的办公室。”可知，第一段可描写作者害怕被老师发现作弊的心理活动，老师告诉作者自己很欣赏作者的故事，给作者的作业打高分和作者对老师不知情的心理活动。
②由第二段首句内容“我不能安心地接受这个优秀的奖项。”可知，第二段可描写作者向老师承认错误，老师的情感反应，最后作者重写故事，如释重负。
2.续写线索：作者被叫到办公室——老师表扬作者——作者对老师不知情的心理活动——老师给作者的作业打高分——作者不能安心接受奖项——作者承认错误——老师的情感反应——作者重写故事
3.词汇激活
行为类
①进入：enter/walk into
②欣赏：admire/appreciate
③需要：need/require
情绪类
①震惊：shock/amazement

[高分句型2]He thought it was 100% my original story. (运用了省略that引导的宾语从句)
