It’s housed in a former railway station and you’ll see nods to that history everywhere — the most appealing are the mini trains running on tracks above the bookshelves. There’s also a trading system, so you can bring your old books for a chance to trade them in for credits to spend in the store.HatchardsLondonThis five-floor bookshop, established in 1797, is the oldest in the capital. It draws visiting authors from Charles Cumming to Sofia Coppola — which means lots of signed copies of your favourite stories. Owing to being mentioned in Mrs Dalloway, it’s a favourite among Virginia Woolf fans.The Mainstreet Trading CompanySt BoswellsThe husband-and-wife team Rosamund and Bill de la Hey have transformed this former auction house (拍卖行) into a place for book lovers. It hosts events with star writers regularly — former guests have included Michael Morpurgo and Margaret Atwood. Here younger readers can discover the Book Burrows: two cupboards were changed into listening rooms where audiobooks (有声读物) are played.Much Ado BooksAlfristonThis bookshop is run by old book enthusiasts Cate Olsen and Nash Robbins, who love to champion new talent and introduce readers to forgotten classics. As well as a two-floor shop, there’s a large room with workshops offering everything from sculpting to woodworking.21. What is special about Barter Books A. It exhibits rare train models. B. It has a book exchange system.C. It hosts events with well-known writers. D. It is the oldest second-hand bookstore.22. Which bookshop is most attractive to Virginia Woolf fans A. Hatchards. B. Barter Books.C. Much Ado Books. D. The Mainstreet Trading Company.23. Where is the bookshop offering workshops A. In London. B. In Alnwick.C. In St Boswells. D. In Alfriston.BAfter a brief stop in Istanbul, I found myself traveling alone through the Maldives. It was the last stop: Velaa Private Island, a palm-covered (长满棕榈树的) dot of sand in the middle of the impossibly blue Indian ocean.The thing everybody knows about the Maldives is the over-water bungalows (平房). They are just as gorgeous as they look in photos — fantastic in design and breathtaking in view. My room had a wall of windows that opened onto a private deck (露台), overlooking the ocean, the calm and blue sea stretching into the horizon (地平线).One of the underrated joys of traveling alone is doing exactly what you want, whenever you want. I am absolutely one of those people who can sit and“do nothing” on vacation for a week, supposing I have a comfortable chair and a good book — or seven. But this dreamlike place has a way of drawing you outside. I decided to try a Jet Ski trip. The scenery was picturesque, with dolphins and rainbows and water so blue it looked digitally edited.Ocean life is a highlight of a trip to the Maldives, and many of the eco-friendlier resorts have strong preservation programs. Remote Lands can set up a custom experience that includes sea turtle rehabilitation and manta ray research with a biologist. There are plenty of ways to feel like an explorer, not just a guest.One of the most surprising highlights of the trip was an encounter with a doctor visiting from India. We talked about my energy, my sleep, my digestion, and the cycles of stress I’d been stuck in. He offered insights into how those things were showing up in my body and gave me small but thoughtful recommendations for rebalancing.I didn’t leave the Maldives with a suitcase full of souvenirs, but with something far more lasting — a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years. Sometimes, the best journeys don’t take you to new places — they bring you back to yourself.24. What does the underlined word “gorgeous” in paragraph 2 probably mean A. Deeply private. B. Extremely beautiful.C. Impossibly colorful. D. Surprisingly large.25. Which of the following impressed the author according to paragraph 3 A. Enjoying a Jet Ski trip.B. Reading a total of seven books.C. Playing with dolphins among the waves.D. Staying completely indoors for relaxation.26. What does the author say about eco-friendly resorts A. They avoid contact with wildlife.B. They focus on recycling programs.C. They offer guests chances to do research.D. They provide experimental sites for researchers.27. What lasting impact did the trip have on the author A. She became friends with a doctor.B. She learned how to travel more efficiently.C. She returned home with a deep sense of calm.D. She discovered her love for a healthy lifestyle.CFranklin D. Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.”Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction.Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice.When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world, we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”28. Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually A. To test their sympathy. B. To evaluate social politeness.C. To expose their passive listening. D. To avoid exchanging small talk.29. What leads to strong interpersonal bonds A. Talking more to show you care.B. Finding common topics to discuss.C. Sharing your own experiences regularly.D. Giving others enough time to express themselves.30. What does the author suggest about silence in conversation A. It is a sign of disinterest.B. It allows thoughts to develop.C. It means the talk is about to end.D. It brings reflective answers to questions.31. What is the most suitable title for the text A. Why We Fail to ListenB. How to Have a Good ConversationC. Beyond Hearing: The Art of ListeningD. Conversations: More Than Just TalkingDThe town of Salem, in New Jersey, is tied to a rather legendary tale (故事) where tomatoes were once seen as “poison apples”. While the tale may not be entirely true, it shows how tomatoes became a beloved food.The Aztecs are credited with growing, consuming, and naming the tomato, and the fruit was later brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese colonists (殖民者) in the 16th century. Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as morally wrong.By the 18th century, the tomato was nicknamed the “poison apple” because rich people in Europe and America would fall ill or die after consuming it. But it wasn’t the consumption of the tomato that led to their illness or death. Instead, it was the plates the wealthy used to dine on, which contained lead. When the acid (酸)in tomatoes reacted with the lead, it caused poisoning. This made people think tomatoes were poisonous.In the late 18th century, people in America were growing tomatoes out of curiosity, not eating them. Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion— Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse (法院) steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see. When he didn’t die of poison, word spread that tomatoes were safe to eat. However, no record of Johnson’s actions has ever been found.Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries— particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them— contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes. By the 1830s, tomato recipes became popular in America. The legend of Johnson grew, especially after a 1949 radio show reenacted (重演) his brave act. For years, Salem even held a Tomato Festival celebrating the story. The tomato’s journey— from“poison apples” to kitchen favorite— shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.32. What’s the truth behind the nickname “poison apples” A. A legend spread this claim.B. Europeans disliked the color red.C. The Aztecs considered them as harmful.D. Their reacting with the lead led to poisoning.33. What did Johnson do to change public views on tomatoes according to legend A. He developed a new variety of tomatoes.B. He ate tomatoes in public to show they were safe.C. He took legal action against those spreading lies.D. He persuaded the government to support tomatoes.34. What played a significant role in popularizing tomatoes in America A. Italian immigrants introducing pizza.B. Salem holding the Tomato Festival yearly.C. Robert Gibbon Johnson’s real recorded action.D. People viewing them as both fruits and vegetables.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text A. To present scientific facts about tomatoes.B. To criticize the European view of tomatoes.C. To promote the consumption of tomatoes in the U. S.D. To describe tomatoes’ rise to popularity in the U. S.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。Everyone sends texts. It’s simple — one message goes out, and another comes back. ____36____ They smile, wink (眨眼) and cry. Without much notice, emojis (表情符号) change how messages feel.Researchers often ignore these tiny images. But Eun Huh from the University of Texas at Austin and her team decided to take a closer look. ____37____Think about your last text. Did it have an emoji Most likely it did. Nearly everyone uses them. But emojis aren’t just decorations. They work like tiny signals of emotion and bring life to plain words. ____38____ The researchers looked at this effect closely. Their analysis showed something surprising. People feel more connected to those who use emojis. It’s not about picking the right emoji. The magic lies in using them at all.Why do emojis work so well They make conversations feel softer and friendlier. They can help to reduce misunderstandings since tone gets difficult to express over text. They also act like little touches of warmth. ____39____ Most importantly, they can do what words sometimes can’t: show that you care.____40____ This one focused on imagined situations. People weren’t texting real friends during the test. The researchers suggest testing real-time chats next. The experts pointed out that this study included mostly U.S.-based participants. Emoji meanings can shift across cultures. What works in one place might not in another. And there’s one more question waiting. What happens when emojis conflict with words Like a smiley face paired with sad news. Future studies might explore those mixed signals.A. Somewhere in between, emojis appear.B. That sense of being heard led to stronger friendships.C. Every study has limitations and this one is no exception.D. They called them more responsive and the chats felt warmer.E. A simple heart can completely change the tone of a message.F. They draw attention and show effort, even in rushed conversations.G. Her study examined emojis’ role in improving relationship closeness.第三部分 语言运用 (共两节，满分30分)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。I’d started a new job and decided to say yes to everything I wanted for the next year.

Struggling to support our two kids, he job hunted tirelessly and I stayed home making the most of every cent. It was hard to stay positive, but we did our best.One day, I found the milk in the fridge was lukewarm (温热的), but we could not afford to call a repairman. Anxious, I looked for ways to earn money, even a little, maybe to fix the fridge.Later, I had lunch with a former coworker, who said I’d be good at teaching computer classes. I was good at word processing software but had no teaching experience except in Sunday School. Doubt and fear consumed me. Then I remembered my mom’s words, “Can’t never could until he tried.” So I decided to give it a try.I wasn’t sure where to start. Finally, I finished a plan. The first thing I did was check on the availability and the cost of a meeting room. After securing a room, I got local business addresses from the Chamber of Commerce, typed them into my computer to make labels, and designed a brochure advertising my class. I folded brochures, stuck on labels and stamps, and mailed them after praying outside the post office. We could barely afford these costs, and I was filled with self-doubt as I waited for responses.On the third day, I got my first response — a check and two registrations. In two weeks, more checks and registrations came. I had 17 students. I then rented computers, but couldn’t afford delivery. My husband helped me carry and set them up before leaving.The night before the first-class day, while my family slept, I stayed up late checking my notes. I went over every keystroke, breaking complex steps into simple ones. I practiced my explanations out loud, timing myself to be sure I wouldn’t run over. I prayed my passion would make up for my lack of experience.注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。The next day, before class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As the class ended, students’ positive words filled the room.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________答案版湖北部分省级示范高中2025-2026学年春季学期高二年级3月起点考试英语试卷第一部分 听力 （满分30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，并标在试卷的相应位置。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.What is the problem A.

A 17. C原文：W: Hey Tom, I just learned that people drive on the left in England. It’s totally different from America. Why do these two countries have such opposite driving habits M: Oh, it’s mainly because of history. In medieval England, knights usually held swords with their right hands. Riding on the left let them protect themselves from enemies easily. Later, this habit became a law and never changed.W: That makes sense! Then why does America drive on the right Wasn’t it a British colony M: Exactly. But after gaining independence, America wanted to break away from British traditions. Besides, most immigrants were from countries like France and Germany, where right-hand driving was common. What’s more, right-hand driving was more convenient for wagon drivers.W: I see! So history and immigration really shaped these habits. By the way, if I travel to England, I mustn’t drive on the right, right M: You’re absolutely right! It’s against the traffic rules and super dangerous. Also, pay attention to road signs — they’re designed for left-hand traffic.W: Thanks for the tips. I’ll keep that in mind if I ever visit there.听下面一段独白，回答以下小题。18. What does the speaker mainly talk about A. The university library. B. The library facilities. C. The library hours.19.

It’s housed in a former railway station and you’ll see nods to that history everywhere — the most appealing are the mini trains running on tracks above the bookshelves. There’s also a trading system, so you can bring your old books for a chance to trade them in for credits to spend in the store.HatchardsLondonThis five-floor bookshop, established in 1797, is the oldest in the capital. It draws visiting authors from Charles Cumming to Sofia Coppola — which means lots of signed copies of your favourite stories. Owing to being mentioned in Mrs Dalloway, it’s a favourite among Virginia Woolf fans.The Mainstreet Trading CompanySt BoswellsThe husband-and-wife team Rosamund and Bill de la Hey have transformed this former auction house (拍卖行) into a place for book lovers. It hosts events with star writers regularly — former guests have included Michael Morpurgo and Margaret Atwood. Here younger readers can discover the Book Burrows: two cupboards were changed into listening rooms where audiobooks (有声读物) are played.Much Ado BooksAlfristonThis bookshop is run by old book enthusiasts Cate Olsen and Nash Robbins, who love to champion new talent and introduce readers to forgotten classics. As well as a two-floor shop, there’s a large room with workshops offering everything from sculpting to woodworking.21. What is special about Barter Books A. It exhibits rare train models. B. It has a book exchange system.C. It hosts events with well-known writers. D. It is the oldest second-hand bookstore.22. Which bookshop is most attractive to Virginia Woolf fans A. Hatchards. B. Barter Books.C. Much Ado Books. D. The Mainstreet Trading Company.23. Where is the bookshop offering workshops A. In London. B. In Alnwick.C. In St Boswells. D. In Alfriston.【答案】21. B 22. A 23. DBAfter a brief stop in Istanbul, I found myself traveling alone through the Maldives. It was the last stop: Velaa Private Island, a palm-covered (长满棕榈树的) dot of sand in the middle of the impossibly blue Indian ocean.The thing everybody knows about the Maldives is the over-water bungalows (平房). They are just as gorgeous as they look in photos — fantastic in design and breathtaking in view. My room had a wall of windows that opened onto a private deck (露台), overlooking the ocean, the calm and blue sea stretching into the horizon (地平线).One of the underrated joys of traveling alone is doing exactly what you want, whenever you want. I am absolutely one of those people who can sit and“do nothing” on vacation for a week, supposing I have a comfortable chair and a good book — or seven. But this dreamlike place has a way of drawing you outside. I decided to try a Jet Ski trip. The scenery was picturesque, with dolphins and rainbows and water so blue it looked digitally edited.Ocean life is a highlight of a trip to the Maldives, and many of the eco-friendlier resorts have strong preservation programs. Remote Lands can set up a custom experience that includes sea turtle rehabilitation and manta ray research with a biologist. There are plenty of ways to feel like an explorer, not just a guest.One of the most surprising highlights of the trip was an encounter with a doctor visiting from India. We talked about my energy, my sleep, my digestion, and the cycles of stress I’d been stuck in. He offered insights into how those things were showing up in my body and gave me small but thoughtful recommendations for rebalancing.I didn’t leave the Maldives with a suitcase full of souvenirs, but with something far more lasting — a sense of calm I hadn’t felt in years. Sometimes, the best journeys don’t take you to new places — they bring you back to yourself.24. What does the underlined word “gorgeous” in paragraph 2 probably mean A. Deeply private. B. Extremely beautiful.C. Impossibly colorful. D. Surprisingly large.25. Which of the following impressed the author according to paragraph 3 A. Enjoying a Jet Ski trip.B. Reading a total of seven books.C. Playing with dolphins among the waves.D. Staying completely indoors for relaxation.26. What does the author say about eco-friendly resorts A. They avoid contact with wildlife.B. They focus on recycling programs.C. They offer guests chances to do research.D. They provide experimental sites for researchers.27. What lasting impact did the trip have on the author A. She became friends with a doctor.B. She learned how to travel more efficiently.C. She returned home with a deep sense of calm.D. She discovered her love for a healthy lifestyle.【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. CCFranklin D. Roosevelt hated small talk. He argued that in most conversations of this kind, people never actually listened to what other people said, as if people were reading from a prompt card (提示卡) and politely waiting their turn. To illustrate his point, he would sometimes greet people by saying, “I murdered a huge snake this morning.” Invariably, people nodded, smiled, and carried on as usual. Only once did someone actually listen, and replied, “I’m sure she had it coming.”Roosevelt no doubt had a point. A lot of the time, people hardly ever listen to what’s going on in a conversation. They focus instead on getting their own response ready. Research proves that good conversations, like a game of catch, are a back-and-forth game. They need a talking-listening ratio (比率) that’s not far from 50:50. When we talk tirelessly, our partner can feel unwanted and unappreciated. When we listen to someone else, we allow them to deal with whatever stresses or bothers them. As such, it builds much deeper relationships with much higher satisfaction.Listening does not always come easily to people. But there are small tricks you can try. One is to let silence fall. Silence is the space where conversation grows. In the same way the words on this page are defined by the space around them, silence allows our ideas to take shape and drives the conversation forward. Let people say more. Just because someone has stopped talking, it doesn’t mean they’re done communicating. Another helpful habit is asking questions. Don’t plan them in advance or wait for your turn to speak. Ask for more information about something which interests you. Explore the details behind a half-told story. It’s a hard skill to get right, but it gets easier with practice.When we listen to what other people say, when we read and learn from the world, we become better. As Epictetus, an ancient Greek philosopher, once said, “Nature has given men one tongue but two ears, that we may hear from others twice as much as we speak.”28. Why did Roosevelt greet people unusually A. To test their sympathy. B. To evaluate social politeness.C. To expose their passive listening. D. To avoid exchanging small talk.29. What leads to strong interpersonal bonds A. Talking more to show you care.B. Finding common topics to discuss.C. Sharing your own experiences regularly.D. Giving others enough time to express themselves.30. What does the author suggest about silence in conversation A. It is a sign of disinterest.B. It allows thoughts to develop.C. It means the talk is about to end.D. It brings reflective answers to questions.31. What is the most suitable title for the text A. Why We Fail to ListenB. How to Have a Good ConversationC. Beyond Hearing: The Art of ListeningD. Conversations: More Than Just Talking【答案】28. C 29. D 30. B 31. CDThe town of Salem, in New Jersey, is tied to a rather legendary tale (故事) where tomatoes were once seen as “poison apples”. While the tale may not be entirely true, it shows how tomatoes became a beloved food.The Aztecs are credited with growing, consuming, and naming the tomato, and the fruit was later brought to Europe by Spanish and Portuguese colonists (殖民者) in the 16th century. Tomatoes spread slowly in Europe because many Europeans avoided the color red, which was regarded as morally wrong.By the 18th century, the tomato was nicknamed the “poison apple” because rich people in Europe and America would fall ill or die after consuming it. But it wasn’t the consumption of the tomato that led to their illness or death. Instead, it was the plates the wealthy used to dine on, which contained lead. When the acid (酸)in tomatoes reacted with the lead, it caused poisoning. This made people think tomatoes were poisonous.In the late 18th century, people in America were growing tomatoes out of curiosity, not eating them. Legend has it that one man helped change public opinion— Robert Gibbon Johnson of Salem, New Jersey, who stood on Salem’s courthouse (法院) steps in 1820, eating a basket of tomatoes for all the public to see. When he didn’t die of poison, word spread that tomatoes were safe to eat. However, no record of Johnson’s actions has ever been found.Immigration to America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries— particularly Italians, who brought the pizza with them— contributed to the eventual consumption of tomatoes. By the 1830s, tomato recipes became popular in America. The legend of Johnson grew, especially after a 1949 radio show reenacted (重演) his brave act. For years, Salem even held a Tomato Festival celebrating the story. The tomato’s journey— from“poison apples” to kitchen favorite— shows how legend and facts can shape what we eat.32. What’s the truth behind the nickname “poison apples” A. A legend spread this claim.B. Europeans disliked the color red.C. The Aztecs considered them as harmful.D. Their reacting with the lead led to poisoning.33. What did Johnson do to change public views on tomatoes according to legend A. He developed a new variety of tomatoes.B. He ate tomatoes in public to show they were safe.C. He took legal action against those spreading lies.D. He persuaded the government to support tomatoes.34. What played a significant role in popularizing tomatoes in America A. Italian immigrants introducing pizza.B. Salem holding the Tomato Festival yearly.C. Robert Gibbon Johnson’s real recorded action.D. People viewing them as both fruits and vegetables.35. What is the author’s purpose in writing this text A. To present scientific facts about tomatoes.B. To criticize the European view of tomatoes.C. To promote the consumption of tomatoes in the U. S.D. To describe tomatoes’ rise to popularity in the U. S.【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. D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。Everyone sends texts. It’s simple — one message goes out, and another comes back. ____36____ They smile, wink (眨眼) and cry. Without much notice, emojis (表情符号) change how messages feel.Researchers often ignore these tiny images. But Eun Huh from the University of Texas at Austin and her team decided to take a closer look. ____37____Think about your last text. Did it have an emoji Most likely it did. Nearly everyone uses them. But emojis aren’t just decorations. They work like tiny signals of emotion and bring life to plain words. ____38____ The researchers looked at this effect closely. Their analysis showed something surprising. People feel more connected to those who use emojis. It’s not about picking the right emoji. The magic lies in using them at all.Why do emojis work so well They make conversations feel softer and friendlier. They can help to reduce misunderstandings since tone gets difficult to express over text. They also act like little touches of warmth. ____39____ Most importantly, they can do what words sometimes can’t: show that you care.____40____ This one focused on imagined situations. People weren’t texting real friends during the test. The researchers suggest testing real-time chats next. The experts pointed out that this study included mostly U.S.-based participants. Emoji meanings can shift across cultures. What works in one place might not in another. And there’s one more question waiting. What happens when emojis conflict with words Like a smiley face paired with sad news. Future studies might explore those mixed signals.A. Somewhere in between, emojis appear.B. That sense of being heard led to stronger friendships.C. Every study has limitations and this one is no exception.D. They called them more responsive and the chats felt warmer.E. A simple heart can completely change the tone of a message.F. They draw attention and show effort, even in rushed conversations.G.

Struggling to support our two kids, he job hunted tirelessly and I stayed home making the most of every cent. It was hard to stay positive, but we did our best.One day, I found the milk in the fridge was lukewarm (温热的), but we could not afford to call a repairman. Anxious, I looked for ways to earn money, even a little, maybe to fix the fridge.Later, I had lunch with a former coworker, who said I’d be good at teaching computer classes. I was good at word processing software but had no teaching experience except in Sunday School. Doubt and fear consumed me. Then I remembered my mom’s words, “Can’t never could until he tried.” So I decided to give it a try.I wasn’t sure where to start. Finally, I finished a plan. The first thing I did was check on the availability and the cost of a meeting room. After securing a room, I got local business addresses from the Chamber of Commerce, typed them into my computer to make labels, and designed a brochure advertising my class. I folded brochures, stuck on labels and stamps, and mailed them after praying outside the post office. We could barely afford these costs, and I was filled with self-doubt as I waited for responses.On the third day, I got my first response — a check and two registrations. In two weeks, more checks and registrations came. I had 17 students. I then rented computers, but couldn’t afford delivery. My husband helped me carry and set them up before leaving.The night before the first-class day, while my family slept, I stayed up late checking my notes. I went over every keystroke, breaking complex steps into simple ones. I practiced my explanations out loud, timing myself to be sure I wouldn’t run over. I prayed my passion would make up for my lack of experience.注意：(1) 续写词数应为150个左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。The next day, before class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________As the class ended, students’ positive words filled the room.________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________【答案】The next day, before class, standing alone in the classroom, I panicked. My hands shook as I checked the rented computers again, fearing malfunctions. I kept replaying my practice in mind, worrying about forgetting steps or failing to answer questions. I even thought about giving up for a moment, but my mom’s words echoed in my head and stopped me. When students arrived, their friendliness and eagerness to learn calmed my nerves. I forced a smile, greeted them, took a deep breath, and got ready to start the class.As the class ended, students’ positive words filled the room. Many thanked me for my clear explanations that simplified complex steps. One student said the class would help with her work, and another promised to recommend me. A few even asked about the time of the next class, which made me more confident. A surge of pride and joy swept over me — I knew my effort paid off. Self-doubt faded, and this small success gave my family a new chance. We could finally afford to fix the fridge and ease our tight budget. 展开更多...... 收起↑ 资源列表 湖北省部分省级示范高中2025-2026学年高二下学期3月起点考试英语听力.mp3 湖北省部分省级示范高中2025-2026学年高二下学期3月起点考试英语试卷（含音频）.docx
