　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇记叙文，讲述在越野赛中，BrandonSchutt帮助受伤的BlakeCerveny一起到达终点的故事，展现了真正的体育精神。

1.A　前文提到：运动员在运动场上不仅和其他人竞争也和自己竞争，因此尽力实现最好的自己。结合下文的“his personal best”可知，本空应选achieve。

2.A　下文提到：当他意识到达不到必需的速度时，只是享受比赛并在最后帮助对手一起完成比赛。由此可知，他展示了“the biggest heart(最宽广的心胸)”。

3.B　上文提到：Schutt意识到他达不到必需的速度，所以减慢到舒服的速度来享受比赛。

4.C　上文提到：Blake Cerveny的目的是打破自己的个人记录，故应是“push himself hard”。

5.B　由上文提到的“腿抽筋了”可以推断，此处表示“使其失望、无能为力”之意。

6.D　后文提到：Cerveny从地面上站了起来继续参加比赛，故用resolved表示“下定决心完成比赛”。

7.D　前文提到：Cerveny摔倒以后，站起来，跑了150米，又摔倒了。据此可推知，教练担心他的情况。

8.C　根据文意可知，教练担心他的情况，询问是否退出比赛。back off意为“退出”。

9.A　前文提到：Cerveny腿抽筋，一直坚持比赛，脚步不稳，故用unsteady。

10.B　下文提到：他的腿没有力气了，Schutt试图把他扶起。据此可知，他蜷缩着躺在地上。

11.B　根据下一段中的“get Cerveny up”可知，此处应该是“Schutt offered a helping hand”。

12.D　由后文的“With a second try”可知此处表示“他第一次试图把他扶起”。

13.D　由“Schutt把Cerveny扶起”和下文内容可知，两个人一起完成了比赛。

14.C　结合第一段表述可知，在今天竞争的社会，运动员的重点应该是打破纪录。

15.A　Schutt扶起Cerveny,一起完成比赛，体现了真正的运动精神。

　　【语篇解读】本文是一篇说明文。国际奥委会(IOC)在第138届会议上决定，在历史上首次改变奥林匹克格言。

1.decision　考查名词。根据空前的定冠词the可知，此处动词decide应变成名词decision。

2.added　考查非谓语动词。这里是考查“with+n./pron.+非谓语动词”的复合结构，过去分词作宾语补足语表示被动，意为“被添加”。

3.a　考查冠词。此处a landmark event意为“一个里程碑式的事件”,不定冠词表示数量，意为“一个、一次、一组、一种或一类”等。

4.was approved　考查被动语态。本句written部分是定语，此空为谓语动词，根据“in 1894”可知，用一般过去时，且“格言被通过”,主语为三单形式。故填was approved。

5.it　考查代词。结合上文的表述可知，此处应用代词it指代上文的“the phrase”。

6.completely　考查副词。此空修饰动词sounds,应用副词completely。

7.stressing　考查非谓语动词。stressing为现在分词作状语，与主语“the press officer of the committee”是主动关系。

8.values　考查名词的数。根据谓语lie可知，主语应该是复数名词。

9.but　考查连词。not… but为常用词组，意为“不是……而是”。

10.to　考查介词。react to…为固定搭配，表示“对……做出反应”之意。

(二)读后续写

(山东省临沂市2022届高三下学期2月一模考试)As a nurse at the cancer care center where I’ve worked for seven years, I’ll do almost anything to make a patient feel better. But when I met Patty at the center, in 2011, she didn’t want my help.

She was a tiny 44-year-old single mom battling an aggressive head and neck cancer. Unlike many of our other patients, Patty was alone during her treatment, but no matter what I did. I couldn’t get her to open up. She just buried herself in a book or pulled a blanket over her head to fend off conversation.

Eventually I hit on a reliable way to make Patty smile:mentioning her nine-year-old son, Stephen. She’d tell me how well he did in school, how he’d been selected to read a poem he wrote at a local bookstore. She desperately wanted to live for him. With three kids myself, I totally understood how she felt.

After a year and a half of treatment, in August 2012, Patty was told her cancer had spread, and I learned she wouldn’t live much longer. My first thought was,“What’s going to happen to Stephen?”

Nurses at the center shared stories at their meetings about how bright and unusual the boy was. But no one seemed to know how to resolve the issue of what would happen to him when his mom died. My husband, Michael, who also works at the center, started hearing about Patty and Stephen.

One morning in October, Patty quietly slipped away. Michael and I picked Stephen up after school, drove him to a nearby park, and sat on a bench by a pond. I finally managed to say,“Stephen, we’re sorry to have to tell you this, but your mom came to an end this morning.” The sound that came out of his mouth was like nothing I’d ever heard before. This skinny little guy sat between the two of us and just wailed(恸哭) and wailed. It was as if his whole world was just destroyed.

Something inside me was telling me what to do.

Finally, we took him home with us.

_______________________________________________________________

　　【答案】Something inside me was telling me what to do. I wanted to help the poor boy. Although I had three children of my own and a modest family income, I decided to adopt the boy. I told my husband what I thought, and he immediately agreed, saying,“That’s exactly what I want to tell you.” I told the boy we would give him a home and take care of him for his mother. The boy nodded, crying.

Finally, we took him home with us. We introduced Stephen to our three children and told them that he would live with us in the future. My children happily accepted and warmly took Steven to visit his new home and discussed how to make room for Steven. I was glad that my children were so kind and willing to share everything with other children. Stephen soon integrated into our family and lived a happy life with us.
