校园之星评选 The Star of Our School 词数 231建议用时 6 分钟难度 ★★★☆☆ — — — — — — Last Friday, our school held a special activity called 'The Star of Our School'. Every class chose three students as candidates. The rule was easy: we must pick the student who is the best at one thing. Each candidate showed his or her talent on the stage. All the teachers and students were excited about it. In our class, Tom is the tallest boy and he runs the fastest in the school race. He is also the strongest and can lift the heaviest box in the classroom. Lucy is the kindest girl; she always helps everyone with a warm smile. Among all the boys, Jack is the smartest and answers questions the quickest in math class. Peter is the most careful student because he never makes mistakes in his homework. Mary sings the most beautifully of all the girls in the choir. She is also the most popular student this term, so many classmates like to be with her. Our English teacher says she is the most hardworking reader in the grade. After the voting, our teacher said Lily was the most hardworking and the bravest of all. She won the title of Star of Our School this month. We all cheered for her because she is the best friend to everyone in our class. The activity taught us that everyone can be a star in his or her own way. |

❑ 答案精讲ANSWERS
1A2B3A4B5B |
Q1 · A（细节题） 出处：第二段 "Tom is the tallest boy" ▍ 抓主语 the tallest boy。第二段首句直接给出 Tom is the tallest boy（汤姆是班里最高的男孩），A 一致；B Jack 是最聪明、C Peter 最仔细、D 作者未提身高，都不对。 |
Q2 · B（细节题） 出处：第三段 "Mary sings the most beautifully" 与 "she is the most popular student this term" ▍ 定位 Mary 的两处最高级。第三段写 Mary sings the most beautifully（唱歌最优美）且 is the most popular student（最受欢迎），B 两项都中；A 跑最快的是 Tom，C 最强的是 Tom，D 最聪明的是 Jack，都不属于 Mary。 |
Q3 · A（词义猜测） 出处：第四段 "Lily was the most hardworking and the bravest of all." ▍ 整篇评选氛围给你线索。文中 Lily 被评为 the most hardworking（最勤奋）和 the bravest（最勇敢）并赢得称号，结合她"赢得星星"的正面形象，hardworking 意为"勤奋的"；A 正确。B 勇敢对应 brave，C 受欢迎对应 popular，D 小心对应 careful，都不是 hardworking。 |
Q4 · B（推断题） 出处：第四段 "everyone can be a star in his or her own way" ▍ 把结尾主旨串起来。全文列举每个同学在某一方面"最……"（最高、最快、最善良、最仔细、最勤奋），结尾点明 everyone can be a star in his or her own way（每个人都能以自己的方式成为星星），所以作者想表达"人人各有长处，都能成为明星"，B 最准；A 说只有最高才行、C 说评选浪费、D 说该老师选，都与全文"各有闪光点"相反。 |
Q5 · B（主旨题） 出处：全文围绕"The Star of Our School"这场评选展开，写各班推选、同学各自的长处与结果。 ▍ 标题要罩住整篇。A 只讲跑步，C 只讲数学，D 只提 Mary 的歌——都是局部；B 的 The Star of Our School 扣住核心事件与主题，最全面。 |

❑ 长难句拆解SENTENCE
Peter is the most careful student because he never makes mistakes in his homework. 翻译：彼得是最仔细的学生，因为他作业从不出错。｜ 今天核心语法——形容词最高级。规则分三类：① 单音节/部分双音节词，直接加 -est：tall→tallest、fast→fastest、kind→kindest、smart→smartest、strong→strongest；以"辅音+y"结尾变 y 为 i 加 -est：heavy→heaviest。② 多音节/部分双音节词，前面加 the most：careful→the most careful、beautiful→the most beautiful、popular→the most popular、hardworking→the most hardworking。③ 不规则：good/well→best、bad→worst、many/much→most。三个窍门：最高级前面一定要加 the；一定要圈出比较范围（in our class / of all the girls / this term）；承接 Day 07 比较级——比较级 -er 是"两者比"（Tom is taller than Jack），最高级 -est/most 是"三者及以上比 + the"（Tom is the tallest of all）。 |
主语 | Peter人名，指"彼得" |
系动词 | is一般现在时 be 动词，第三人称单数 |
表语(最高级) | the most careful student多音节形容词最高级：careful（原级）→ more careful（比较级）→ the most careful（最高级）；前面必须加 the，表示"最仔细的"；student 是名词中心词 |
原因状语从句 | because he never makes mistakes in his homework.because 引导，说明为什么他最仔细——"因为他作业从不出错"；never makes 一般现在时否定 |
❑ 家长陪读贴士FOR PARENTS
01 | 三类最高级口诀：和孩子把文中最高级分类——规则 -est（tallest, fastest, kindest, smartest, strongest, heaviest）、the most + 原级（most careful, most beautiful, most popular, most hardworking）、不规则（best）。口诀：单音节加 -est，多音节加 the most，the 不能掉。 |
02 | 最高级必须带"范围"：和孩子找文中的范围词——in the school race、in our class、of all the girls、this term。没有范围的最高级不完整，考试常考"漏 the"或"漏范围"的错题，提醒孩子两个都写全。 |
03 | 比较级 vs 最高级连线：回顾 Day 07——比较级比两个人（than），最高级比三人及以上（the + 范围）。和孩子各说一句："Tom is taller than Jack" 对比 "Tom is the tallest in class"，体会 -er 和 -est 的差别，把两个语法点串成一条线。 |
