Blending the agility of “Drunken Fist” and the movements of Tai Chi, the young duo has fused traditional kung fu with Hip-Hop dancing moves, making history by reaching the top four at the Juste Debout 2025 global finals, the best result ever for a Chinese team. Juste Debout, known as the “the world’s biggest street-dance competition,” attracts top-tier dancers from around the world. Despite facing elite competition, Song and Fu, advanced to the quarter finals in the Hip Hop category of the competition.The official Juste Debout’s Instagram account praised the duo: “Song Haoming and Fu Junxi from China fought like warriors on the Juste Debout stage — fearless, relentless, and unstoppable. From the first round to the TOP 4, they gave everything. Pure heart. Pure fire. This wasn’t just a dance show — it was a statement.” Fu’s mother, Jia, told the Global Times the international response “exceeded her expectations.”When asked why the pair chose to incorporate Chinese elements into their routine, Fu explained, “This was our own idea.” According to Fu, he is a fan of wuxia culture while Song comes from a martial arts family. “When Song suggested adding Chinese elements such as Drunken Fist, Tai Chi, and Wing Chun into our performance, I immediately agreed. Street dance comes from the West, but we are Chinese. We want to bring our culture into it and show the world Chinese culture’s strength,” Fu told the Global Times. For both of them, the future is still full of possibilities. In addition to kung fu and street dance, many more opportunities await.Looking ahead, Song ,the Chinese dancer, longs to incorporate more ethnic influences into his performance. Fu wants to explore more new creative fusions, such as incorporating lion dancing and other traditional Chinese arts into his performances to help spread Chinese culture. “There’s so much more to explore, and we’re just getting started.”4. According to the article, which of the following is a reason for Song and Fu to incorporate Chinese elements into their performance A. They want to win the competition at all costs.B. Their roots of being born in China make them do so.C. Both of them have a strong connection with martial arts.D. They simply want to boast about their knowledge of Chinese culture.5. What can be inferred from the article about street-dance competitions in the future A. It will decline with traditional art promotion.B. It will be dominated by Chinese dancers due to their unique styles.C. It will increase cultural fusion influenced by performers like Song and Fu.D. It will be losing original charm as they keep incorporating new elements.6. What kind of personalities do Song and Fu probably have according to the article A. Conservative and cautious.B. Aggressive and impulsive.C. Indifferent and self-centered.D. Creative and culturally-conscious.7. What is the main purpose of the article A. To narrate their cultural-dance blend and prospect for it.B. To praise the outstanding dancing skills of Song and Fu.C. To highlight the importance of spreading Chinese kung fu.D. To introduce the rules and significance of the competition.CWalking through the China International Consumer Products Expo 2025, I was amazed at how swiftly technology is blending with daily life. This global event wasn’t just an exhibition; it was a vivid preview of our future, filled with innovations that promise to reshape our world.The low-altitude economy zone was a highlight, featuring unmanned drones and flying cars that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie. The EH216-L unmanned aerial vehicle by EHang, a fully certified eVTOL, stole the show. It can take off and land vertically, carrying two passengers over short urban distances. EHang’s COO, Wang Zhao, pointed out its potential uses in tourism, emergency medical transport, and as a solution to traffic jam, calling it the “air taxi” of the future. Although the low-altitude economy is still in its early days, focusing mainly on tourist spots, it has huge potential for urban and intercity travel. Another notable product was the TD550 unmanned helicopter at the United Aircraft booth. With its long endurance and high payload, it’s ideal for remote logistics (物流), forestry protection, and emergency rescues. The growth of this sector signals significant technological progress and new economic drivers.In the health consumer zone, technology and wellness combined in remarkable ways. The NutriSleep 6s, a sleep aid by Air Nutri, attracted long lines of people eager to experience deep relaxation in just 15 minutes. AI health management was everywhere. OSIM’s massage chairs offered stress-monitoring features, while an AI facial diagnosis robot combined traditional Chinese face reading with modern technology to generate accurate health reports.AI’s role in elder care was particularly touching. China Mobile’s quadruped robot dog, equipped with visual algorithms, could monitor elderly individuals living alone and alert family members in case of emergencies. Keenon’s service robots, already active in catering and healthcare, perform tasks like meal delivery and patient guidance, aiming to bridge the companionship gap.As the sun set over the exhibition center, I realized that this expo was more than a tech showcase. It was a reflection of a future where AI becomes a companion, air taxis and service robots are part of daily life, and consumer habits transform, leading to a more inclusive and innovative economy. The future isn’t a distant dream; it’s already here.8. What unique feature does the EH216-L by EHang possess A. It is the only certified eVTOL in the world.B. It can uprightly depart and land without relying on a runway.C. It has the longest endurance among all the flying vehicles exhibited.D. It can carry up to four passengers over lon-distance intercity routes.9. What can be inferred from the fact that the low-altitude economy currently focuses mainly on tourist attractions A. It is safe for low-altitude aircraft to operate only in Tourist attractions .B. The market demand for low-altitude transportation is already steady.C. There are no technological challenges in low-altitude aircraft transportation.D. Developing facilities and rules for low-altitude transportation may be in progress.10. Based on the information about AI in elder care, which of the following best describes the future trend A. Traditional elder care will completely disappear.B. Family members will be no longer required in the care of the elderly.C. AI-based elder care devices will mainly serve as entertainment tools.D. The integration of AI in elder care will expand to cover more aspects of their lives.11. What is the main idea of the third paragraph A. To introduce various health products from different companies.B. To illustrate tech-wellness integration in innovative health offerings.C. To compare the functions of different health-related devices at the expo.D. To emphasize AI-based health management’s edge over traditional methods.DIn Malcolm Gladwell’s thought — provoking book Outliers (异类), the Matthew effect (马太效应) suggests that an individual’s success is intricately tied to the timing of their birth date and the subsequent opportunities that arise. While Gladwell claims that this seemingly random factor initiates a chain of advantages leading to success, this essay seek to challenge that perception. It argues that success is an interplay of multiple factors, insisting that individual ambition, inborn talent, and family influences are equally crucial, if not more so, in shaping one’s path to success.Gladwell argues that those who possess will receive more, and those without will lose even the little they have. He extends this to success, attributing it to hidden birth dates advantages, but neglects the profound impact of individual ambition, innate talent, and family influences on the success.Contrary to Gladwell’s perspective, individual ambition emerges as a powerful force in determining success. Ambition acts as the driving force behind individuals who, regardless of their age or birth date, strive for excellence and surpass the norm. A convincing example is found in the story of Stephanie Bradley, a young girl with a strong desire to become a doctor. Stephanie’s upbringing in a modest environment with parents of limited education did not provide her with extraordinary opportunities. However, her unwavering ambition stimulated her to overcome obstacles. Her story vividly illustrates the power of ambition in fostering determination, maintaining focus, and creating opportunities independent of external advantages.While Gladwell focuses mainly on accumulative advantages, he overlooks the significant role of inborn talent in inspiring individuals to success. Natural abilities, distinct from skills acquired through training, often act as a catalyst (催化剂) for extraordinary achievement. Consider the case of Taylor, a high school freshman on a local swim team. Taylor’s story challenges Gladwell’s theory by illustrating innate talent triumphing over accumulative advantages. Despite lacking the opportunities, training scheme, and financial backing of his competitors, Taylor’s natural talent powerfully facilitated him to victory. His success demonstrates that innate talent, independent of external advantages, can be a driving force in the pursuit of excellence.In conclusion, while Gladwell’s Matthew effect makes some sense in certain instances, it oversimplifies success. The stories of Stephanie Bradley and Taylor show how personal drive and natural abilities can stimulate individuals to success, challenging the conclusive view presented by Gladwell. Success is a combination of multiple factors, and recognizing these is crucial for understanding achievement.12. Which example does the author use to demonstrate the power of individual ambition A. Malcolm Gladwell’s definition of “outliers”.B. The achievements of the Medicine Hat hockey team.C. The story of Stephanie Bradley who desires to be a doctor.D. The experience of Taylor a high-school freshman on a swim team.13. What can we infer from the passage about Gladwell’s perspective on success A. It has been supported by scholars in the field.B. It fully takes into account the diverse factors influencing success.C. It might overlook the significance of certain internal factors for success.D. It provides an comprehensive and accurate theory for understanding success.14. What implication can we draw from the example of Taylor A. Athletes without financial support can never achieve great success.B. Innate talents can fuel success even without external advantages.C. Accumulative advantages are the decisive factor for an athlete’s victory.D. High-school freshmen are more likely to shine in sports competitions.15. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage A. Success: Is It All about Birth Dates or Something More B. Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: A Groundbreaking TheoryC. The Matthew Effect: Unveiling the True Secret of SuccessD. The Stories of Stephanie Bradley and Taylor: Keys to Success第二节(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。We tend to think that our success is limited because of lack of money, time, and energy, but this is not necessarily true. Lack of self-worth is often the biggest roadblock on our path to living a fulfilling life. Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world. _____16_____It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity. _____17_____ Because these aspects of your life can change at any moment, it’s more useful to consider inner values such as compassion, generosity, leadership, respect, and kindness. _____18_____ We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures. Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute. Consider the virtue of what this voice is telling you.

Instead, do it with your internal dialogue and your actions.We all mess up sometimes — it’s part of being human. _____20_____ It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor. There’s no point in worrying about your mistakes or upsetting over the not-so-good decisions from the past. Self-compassion is about believing that you are worthy of love regardless of what you do or fail to do.A. Don’t let your inner critic rule your thoughts.B. What matters is what you think about yourself.C. All these do not determine your value and self-worth.D. But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go.E.

Pay attention to the perceptions about where you should be.第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Growing up in Calgary, our kids had only seen buildings from the 1900s.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and this uncertainty left me feeling lost. This big city was a soulless place and everyone was just out for themselves. The only thing that truly gave me comfort was playing the flute (笛子).My connection with the flute began when I was 16. Determined to buy one, I worked at a supermarket earning just $2. 35 an hour. When I finally bought it, it became my most valued possession. Every day I would come home and play it. The tunes helped me process my emotions.One day I was working at the restaurant when someone asked me what I was doing that night. I said, “I’m going to be playing the flute at…” and then I suddenly realised that I hadn’t picked up my flute when I got off the train that day. I immediately and completely freaked out (六神无主).I raced to the train station to ask if it had been handed in. It hadn’t, but I gave them my number anyway in case it turned up. I just thought, well, it’s gone — stupidly, I didn’t even have my name written on the case. I spent the following week in total guilt, feeling sorry for myself.Then, one day, I got a call from someone at CityRail saying they had my flute. I went into the lost property place at Central and there it was, among all the lost bags and umbrellas. As I went to grab it, the guards there asked for my ID. I told them I had lost my ID, and that it would take several weeks to get a new one. And they said, well, sorry — you’ve got to have your ID to get your flute back.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。Feeling quite desperate, I said, “What if I play you a tune ”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I finished my playing____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________武汉二中2025届高三全真模拟考试英语试卷试卷满分:150分第一部分 听力 (共两节,满分 30 分)注意,听力部分答题时,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答题卡上。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。每段对话仅读一遍。1.What did the woman buy at the sale A.A coat.

For both of them, the future is still full of possibilities. In addition to kung fu and street dance, many more opportunities await.Looking ahead, Song ,the Chinese dancer, longs to incorporate more ethnic influences into his performance.

This global event wasn’t just an exhibition; it was a vivid preview of our future, filled with innovations that promise to reshape our world.The low-altitude economy zone was a highlight, featuring unmanned drones and flying cars that looked straight out of a sci-fi movie. The EH216-L unmanned aerial vehicle by EHang, a fully certified eVTOL, stole the show. It can take off and land vertically, carrying two passengers over short urban distances. EHang’s COO, Wang Zhao, pointed out its potential uses in tourism, emergency medical transport, and as a solution to traffic jam, calling it the “air taxi” of the future. Although the low-altitude economy is still in its early days, focusing mainly on tourist spots, it has huge potential for urban and intercity travel. Another notable product was the TD550 unmanned helicopter at the United Aircraft booth. With its long endurance and high payload, it’s ideal for remote logistics (物流), forestry protection, and emergency rescues. The growth of this sector signals significant technological progress and new economic drivers.In the health consumer zone, technology and wellness combined in remarkable ways.

While Gladwell claims that this seemingly random factor initiates a chain of advantages leading to success, this essay seek to challenge that perception. It argues that success is an interplay of multiple factors, insisting that individual ambition, inborn talent, and family influences are equally crucial, if not more so, in shaping one’s path to success.Gladwell argues that those who possess will receive more, and those without will lose even the little they have. He extends this to success, attributing it to hidden birth dates advantages, but neglects the profound impact of individual ambition, innate talent, and family influences on the success.Contrary to Gladwell’s perspective, individual ambition emerges as a powerful force in determining success. Ambition acts as the driving force behind individuals who, regardless of their age or birth date, strive for excellence and surpass the norm. A convincing example is found in the story of Stephanie Bradley, a young girl with a strong desire to become a doctor. Stephanie’s upbringing in a modest environment with parents of limited education did not provide her with extraordinary opportunities. However, her unwavering ambition stimulated her to overcome obstacles. Her story vividly illustrates the power of ambition in fostering determination, maintaining focus, and creating opportunities independent of external advantages.While Gladwell focuses mainly on accumulative advantages, he overlooks the significant role of inborn talent in inspiring individuals to success. Natural abilities, distinct from skills acquired through training, often act as a catalyst (催化剂) for extraordinary achievement. Consider the case of Taylor, a high school freshman on a local swim team. Taylor’s story challenges Gladwell’s theory by illustrating innate talent triumphing over accumulative advantages. Despite lacking the opportunities, training scheme, and financial backing of his competitors, Taylor’s natural talent powerfully facilitated him to victory. His success demonstrates that innate talent, independent of external advantages, can be a driving force in the pursuit of excellence.In conclusion, while Gladwell’s Matthew effect makes some sense in certain instances, it oversimplifies success. The stories of Stephanie Bradley and Taylor show how personal drive and natural abilities can stimulate individuals to success, challenging the conclusive view presented by Gladwell. Success is a combination of multiple factors, and recognizing these is crucial for understanding achievement.12. Which example does the author use to demonstrate the power of individual ambition A. Malcolm Gladwell’s definition of “outliers”.B. The achievements of the Medicine Hat hockey team.C. The story of Stephanie Bradley who desires to be a doctor.D. The experience of Taylor, a high-school freshman on a swim team.13. What can we infer from the passage about Gladwell’s perspective on success A. It has been supported by scholars in the field.B. It fully takes into account the diverse factors influencing success.C. It might overlook the significance of certain internal factors for success.D. It provides an comprehensive and accurate theory for understanding success.14. What implication can we draw from the example of Taylor A. Athletes without financial support can never achieve great success.B. Innate talents can fuel success even without external advantages.C. Accumulative advantages are the decisive factor for an athlete’s victory.D. High-school freshmen are more likely to shine in sports competitions.15. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage A. Success: Is It All about Birth Dates or Something More B. Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers: A Groundbreaking TheoryC. The Matthew Effect: Unveiling the True Secret of SuccessD. The Stories of Stephanie Bradley and Taylor: Keys to Success【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. A【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了成功因素,反驳了马太效应,强调个人抱负和天赋的重要性。【12题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段中“Contrary to Gladwell’s perspective, individual ambition emerges as a powerful force in determining success. Ambition acts as the driving force behind individuals who, regardless of their age or birth date, strive for excellence and surpass the norm. A convincing example is found in the story of Stephanie Bradley, a young girl with a strong desire to become a doctor. (与Gladwell的观点相反,个人抱负在决定成功方面成为一股强大的力量。抱负是驱动个体的动力,无论其年龄或出生日期如何,这些个体都会追求卓越并超越常规。一个令人信服的例子是Stephanie Bradley的故事,她是一个渴望成为医生的小女孩)”可知,作者使用Stephanie Bradley渴望成为医生的故事来展示个人野心的力量。故选C。【13题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段中“He extends this to success, attributing it to hidden birth dates advantages, but neglects the profound impact of individual ambition, innate talent, and family influences on the success. (他将这一点延伸到成功上,将其归因于隐藏出生日期优势,但却忽视了个人抱负、天赋和家庭影响对成功的深远影响)”可知,Gladwell的成功观可能忽视了某些内部因素对成功的重要性。故选C。【14题详解】推理判断题。根据第四段中“Taylor’s story challenges Gladwell’s theory by illustrating innate talent triumphing over accumulative advantages. Despite lacking the opportunities, training scheme, and financial backing of his competitors, Taylor’s natural talent powerfully facilitated him to victory. (Taylor的故事通过展示天赋战胜累积优势来挑战Gladwell的理论。尽管缺乏竞争对手的机会、训练计划和资金支持,但Taylor的天赋还是让他轻松获得了胜利)”可知,Taylor的例子表明,即使没有外部优势,天赋也能推动成功。故选B。【15题详解】主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“In conclusion, while Gladwell’s Matthew effect makes some sense in certain instances, it oversimplifies success. The stories of Stephanie Bradley and Taylor show how personal drive and natural abilities can stimulate individuals to success, challenging the conclusive view presented by Gladwell. Success is a combination of multiple factors, and recognizing these is crucial for understanding achievement. (总之,虽然Gladwell的马太效应在某些情况下有一定道理,但它过于简化了成功。Stephanie Bradley和Taylor的故事展示了个人动力和天赋如何激励个人走向成功,挑战了Gladwell提出的决定性观点。成功是多种因素的综合结果,认识到这些对于理解成就至关重要)”可知,文章主要讨论了成功的因素,反驳了Gladwell的马太效应,强调了个人野心和天赋的重要性。因此,最佳标题是“Success: Is It All about Birth Dates or Something More (成功:只是与出生日期有关,还是还有其他因素?)”。故选A。第二节(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。We tend to think that our success is limited because of lack of money, time, and energy, but this is not necessarily true.

Instead, do it with your internal dialogue and your actions.We all mess up sometimes — it’s part of being human. _____20_____ It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor.

C 18. A 19. B 20. D【解析】【导语】本文是一篇议论文,探讨自我价值的核心在于内在品质,而非外在条件,并强调自我接纳与自我宽恕的重要性。【16题详解】根据上文“Not all of us recognize our individual worth and the contributions we make to the world(并非所有人都认识到自己的个人价值和对世界的贡献)”可知,作者指出人们普遍存在对自我价值认知不足的问题。下文需衔接解决这一问题的方向,F项“However, you can build self-worth by practicing self-care(然而,你可以通过自我关怀来建立自我价值)”以However转折,提出解决方案,符合逻辑。故选F项。【17题详解】根据上文“It might seem natural to measure your value by your income, physical appearance, job title, or social media popularity(用收入、外貌、职位头衔或社交媒体上的人气度来衡量自身价值,这看似自然而然)”以及下文“Because these aspects of your life can change at any moment, it’s more useful to consider inner values such as compassion, generosity, leadership, respect, and kindness(因为这些生活层面可能随时改变,所以考虑诸如同情心、慷慨、领导力、尊重和善良等内在价值观更为有益)”可知,作者否定外在标准的可靠性。C项“All these do not determine your value and self-worth(所有这些都不能决定你的价值和自我价值)”中的“All these”指代上文的外在因素,明确否定其决定性,承上启下。故选C项。【18题详解】根据下文“We all have a self-talk that points out our shortcomings and failures(我们都有自我对话,指出自己的缺点和失败)”以及“Whenever you begin criticizing yourself, stop and pause for a minute(每当你开始批评自己时,停下来一分钟)”可知,下文说的是要在自我对话到来的时候,停一分钟,可推理出此处说的是不要让内在的批评支配你的思想,A项“Don’t let your inner critic rule your thoughts(不要让你内心的批评者支配你的思想)”符合语境。故选A项。【19题详解】根据上文“You alone are responsible for your self-worth. Regardless of other people’s words, thoughts, and opinions about you, you can still choose how you view yourself(你自身的价值完全由你自己负责。无论他人对你有何种言论、想法和看法,你依然可以选择如何审视自己)”可知,你自身的价值完全由你自己负责,可推理出此处强调自我认知的主导性。B项“What matters is what you think about yourself(重要的是你如何看待自己)”进一步强化“自我看法”的核心地位,故选B项。【20题详解】根据上文“We all mess up sometimes — it’s part of being human(我们都会犯错——这是人性的一部分)”以及下文“It’s easy to extend kindness and forgiveness to others, but you have to do yourself the same favor(我们很容易对别人善良和宽恕,但你也必须同样善待自己)”可知,我们都会犯错,所以你要善待自己,可推理出此处说的是当你犯错的时候,要原谅自己,D项“But when you do, you must forgive yourself and let it go(但当你犯错时,你必须原谅自己并放下)”表达的含义符合语境,故选D项。第一节(共15小题;每小题1分,满分15分)阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Growing up in Calgary, our kids had only seen buildings from the 1900s.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do, and this uncertainty left me feeling lost. This big city was a soulless place and everyone was just out for themselves. The only thing that truly gave me comfort was playing the flute (笛子).My connection with the flute began when I was 16. Determined to buy one, I worked at a supermarket earning just $2. 35 an hour. When I finally bought it, it became my most valued possession. Every day I would come home and play it. The tunes helped me process my emotions.One day I was working at the restaurant when someone asked me what I was doing that night. I said, “I’m going to be playing the flute at…” and then I suddenly realised that I hadn’t picked up my flute when I got off the train that day. I immediately and completely freaked out (六神无主).I raced to the train station to ask if it had been handed in. It hadn’t, but I gave them my number anyway in case it turned up. I just thought, well, it’s gone — stupidly, I didn’t even have my name written on the case. I spent the following week in total guilt, feeling sorry for myself.Then, one day, I got a call from someone at CityRail saying they had my flute. I went into the lost property place at Central and there it was, among all the lost bags and umbrellas. As I went to grab it, the guards there asked for my ID. I told them I had lost my ID, and that it would take several weeks to get a new one. And they said, well, sorry — you’ve got to have your ID to get your flute back.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。Feeling quite desperate, I said, “What if I play you a tune ”____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I finished my playing.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】范文Feeling quite desperate, I said, “What if I play you a tune ” The guards exchanged glances before nodding. With trembling hands, I lifted the familiar flute to my lips. The melody that flowed out was the first song I’d ever learned — a simple folk tune my grandmother taught me. As the notes danced through the cluttered lost-and-found room, the guards’ stern expressions softened. A passing janitor paused to listen, and even the ticking clock seemed to slow its rhythm. The flute’s voice carried memories of teenage summers spent practicing in my attic, of lonely nights in Sydney soothed by its song. My eyes stayed fixed on the scratched case, as if the music itself could prove our unbreakable bond.I finished my playing. The silence that followed was broken by the oldest guard clearing his throat. “That’s enough proof for me,” he said, handing over the case. Clutching my flute, I walked into the bustling station where sunlight streamed through the glass ceiling. For the first time, the hurried footsteps around me sounded less like indifference and more like life’s vibrant rhythm. That night, as I played by my window, a neighbor waved from across the street. Maybe this concrete jungle had soul after all — it just needed a little music to wake it up.【解析】【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了21岁时,作者搬到了悉尼,在当地一家小餐馆当服务员。作者通过笛子来安慰自己的灵魂。某天作者丢失了自己的笛子,去失物招领处的时候警卫要求出示证件,但是作者的身份证丢了。最后作者通过吹笛子来证明是自己的笛子,拿回了笛子。【详解】1.段落续写:①由第一段首句内容“我感到很绝望,于是说:‘我给你吹首曲子怎么样?’”可知,第一段可描写作者吹笛子的经过。②由第二段首句内容“我吹完了”可知,第二段可描写作者拿回了自己的笛子以及作者的感悟。2.续写线索:提议吹笛子——开始吹奏——吹完笛子——拿回笛子——作者感悟3.词汇激活行为类①递给:hand over/ deliver up②拿着:clutch/hold③证明:prove/justify情绪类①牢不可破:unbreakable/adamant②严厉:stern/ severe【点睛】[高分句型1] As the notes danced through the cluttered lost-and-found room, the guards’ stern expressions softened.(由as引导时间状语从句)[高分句型2] Clutching my flute, I walked into the bustling station where sunlight streamed through the glass ceiling.(由现在分词作状语) 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 2025届湖北省武汉市第二中学高三下学期二模考试英语试题(原卷版).docx 2025届湖北省武汉市第二中学高三下学期二模考试英语试题(解析版).docx
