I've had this room since I was in the fifth grade. My parents said I could do anything I wanted with IT. I picked the paint colors for the walls. One wall is Green, one is pale gray, and the rest is White, which makes the room seem bigger. I do feel disappointed that my room is so small. Mom suggested the platform bed and built in corner desk, but still there isn't room for my friends and me to sit in here, so mostly I just sleep, read or get ready to go out. My shoes are put on shelves, dresses hung on the door. I like my room clean and tidy. I've put away most of my childhood things, but i've kept some. It's very important for me to have my own space. If i'm a way at school, I usually leave the door open, but if IT is shot, I like my parents to knock. Hello, everyone, this is a picture of my room at home.

Training will be provided upon the start of volunteer service.(不需要之前有工作经验。志愿者服务开始后，将提供培训)”可知A“工作经验”和B“学术培训”不是成为志愿者的要求，再结合四个志愿者工作的工作时间可知并不要求必须“全天有空”，D选项也不是要求，根据第一段中“Volunteers are a vital part of our mission of providing high quality environmental educational programming for local youth, Hudson River research, and community events.(志愿者是我们为当地青少年提供高质量环境教育计划、哈德逊河研究和社区活动的重要组成部分)”可推知，成为四名志愿者的要求是爱护环境。故选C。 B Most teenagers kill time playing video games, or surfing TikTok. But it’s not so for William Gadoury, a 14-year-old from Quebec. William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents bought him books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座). Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities. But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck. Luckily, he asked Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there. Gadoury’s findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Estrada- Belli. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya’s long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities. 24. What are Gadoury’s findings mainly about? A. The villages in the Mexican jungle. B. The images from CSA satellites. C. The origins of Mayan culture. D. The locations of Mayan cities. 25. How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2? A. By tracking the best-preserved building on maps. B. By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books. C. By checking star maps against satellite images. D. By updating HERE WeGo on the Internet. 26. What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan constellation? A. A thick forest. B. A forest fire. C. Fund shortage. D. Bad weather. 27. Which of the following best describes Gadoury? A. Cheerful. B. Intelligent. C. Ambitious. D. Sympathetic. 【答案】24. D 25. C 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。14 岁的男孩Gadoury与其他玩电子游戏或刷TikTok的孩子不同，他专心研究玛雅文明，推测玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中星星的位置相对应，据此他和一位科学家发现了一个玛雅农庄。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座). (从12岁开始的一个爱好逐渐发展成严肃的研究，他提出了玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中的星星相对应的理论。)”可知，Gadoury通过研究推测，玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中的星星相对应。所以Gadoury的发现主要是关于玛雅城市的位置。故选D。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities. (Gadoury利用古书分析了22张玛雅星座地图，并将这些位置覆盖到尤卡坦半岛的HERE WeGo图像上，直到今天，尤卡坦半岛仍然是大量当地人口的家园，还有一些保存最完好的玛雅文化建筑。他会用特殊的纸张在HERE WeGo上追踪星座，并将它们覆盖在纸质地图上玛雅城市的位置上。这个少年能够展示117个玛雅城市与星星的位置相匹配，最亮的星星代表更大的城市。)”可知， Gadoury通过对照HERE WeGo地图和玛雅星图研究玛雅城市的位置。故选C。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck. (但当Gadoury在研究第23个玛雅星座时，他发现了一个矛盾：三颗星，但在HERE WeGo上只有两座古城。第三颗星星指向墨西哥和伯利兹边境的一个地方。然而，该地区被茂密的丛林覆盖，使Gadoury陷入困境。)”可知茂密的森林让Gadoury很难找到第23个玛雅星座中的第三个城市，故选A。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，尤其第一段“What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座). (从12岁开始的一个爱好逐渐发展成严肃的研究，他提出了玛雅城市的位置可能与玛雅星座中的星星相对应的理论。)”可知本文主要介绍了14岁的男孩 Gadoury 专心研究玛雅文明，通过比对地图和玛雅星图最终发现了一个玛雅农庄的故事。由此推知, Gadoury是一个聪明的孩子。故选B。 C Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London. “Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops, is not the only answer,” says art director Francesca Price. “We want these images to empower people to support their local food system.” By growing traditional and non-commercial varieties, small farms support biodiversity and increase food security. With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks. However, traditional farming communities are working to preserve their ancient seed diversity. Keeping variety alive is very important in the face of climate change. In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease. Contrary to the false impression held by the public, small farms that practise traditional agriculture can be highly productive. Studies show that the output of crops rises when there’s a wider diversity of crops being grown on a farm, and money is saved since the need for harmful fertilizer and other chemicals is reduced. “The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories, but the message is universal,” says photographer Cheryl Newman. “I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.” 28. What is the purpose of the photo exhibition? A. To help small farmers to sell their produce. B. To show the challenges faced by small farmers. C. To draw attention to small farmers’ contribution. D. To help farmers to fight against industrial agriculture. 29. What can we say about the industrial agriculture? A. It produces more food than small farms in total. B. It harms biodiversity and decreases food security. C. It has been competing unfairly with small farms. D. It is the only way to feed the world’s population. 30. Why is it important to preserve the traditional and non-commercial crops? A. Their genes are much better. B. Their output is much higher. C. They may help improve the other crops. D. They don’t need chemical fertilizers at all. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of traditional small farms. B. The problems with the industrial agriculture. C. The consequences of fast-growing population. D. The impact of climate change on agriculture. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】本文说明文。文章主要介绍了传统的小农场在保护生物多样性及确保粮食安全等方面的重要作用。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London.”（但是，大约25英亩或更少的小型农场生产世界70%以上的粮食。为了提高人们对这些农民贡献的认识，一个名为“我们养活世界”的全球图片展将于10月12日在伦敦开幕）可知，图片展的目的是为了提高人们对从事小型农业农民贡献的认识。故选C。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops,”（工业化农业主要集中在几种作物上）和第三段“With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks.”（只有12种植物和5种动物占世界食物的75%，食物系统很容易受到自然灾害和疾病爆发的伤害）可知，注重规模而忽视多样性的工业化农业很可能会损害生物多样性及危害粮食安全。故选B。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease.”（在未来，研究人员可能需要从一个品种中获得特定的基因，以帮助另一个品种适应更温暖、更暴风雨或更干燥的天气，或拯救一个珍贵的品种免于疾病）可知，保护传统作物和非商业作物可以帮助改善其它农作物。故选C。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London.”（工业化农业往往被认为是解决世界不断增长的人口吃饭问题的办法。但是，大约25英亩或更少的小农场生产了世界上70% 以上的粮食。为了提高人们对这些农民贡献的认识，一个名为“我们养活世界”的全球图片展将于10月12日在伦敦开幕）和最后一段““The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories, but the message is universal,” says photographer Cheryl Newman. “I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.””(摄影师 Cheryl Newman 说：“家庭农场主的照片可能只讲述了一些当地的故事，但是它传递的信息是普遍的。我希望这些图片能让观众深入思考他们的食物来自哪里，以及它对我们周围世界的影响。”）可知，本文主要介绍了传统的小农场在保护生物多样性及确保粮食安全等方面所发挥的重要作用。故选A。 D Beijing is no stranger to Western food. American restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC have brought more Western dishes to the local food scene in recent years. Now, two new restaurants have joined them. In August, Tac o Bell and Shake Shack opened their doors to cager customers in Beijing. Taco Bell is a popular American fast food restaurant that features Mexican food. Hard- and soft-shell tacos are a staple (主食) on the menu; they are generally served with beef, lettuce and tomato. And of course there are burritos—chicken, beef or beans wrapped in a tortilla (墨西哥薄馅饼). However, there are new menu items that are special to the Beijing location, such as the Yang Berry Freeze and Avocado Oolong Tea. Shake Shack, known for its traditional American-style hamburgers and milk shakes, is also serving up dishes that won’t be found in branches outside of the capital. Harry Wang, who studied in the US, visited the restaurant soon after it opened. “The last time I had Shake Shack was more than a year ago when I was in the United States,” Wang said. “They are pretty similar to what we had in the United States, but there is a milkshake special to Beijing.” The milkshake Wang referred to is the Hutong Hawthorn. The shake mixes hawthorn, a traditional Chinese snack, into a milkshake, a common ice cream drink in Western fast food. The Beijing Shake Shack also offers roasted chestnut ice cream. Both restaurants also reflect elements of Chinese culture in their decorations. Shake Shack’s windows feature cartoons showing hu tong life, and Taco Bell has a picture of a pa lace at the Temple of Heaven on one of its walls. From the design to the menus, the two restaurants are “adding a touch of local flavor”, noted China news. 32. Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of Western food in Beijing. B. To lead up to the topic of new Western restaurants in Beijing. C. To compare the differences between McDonald’s and KFC. D. To express the author’s personal love of Western food. 33. What can we know about Taco Bell? A. It is a traditional Mexican restaurant. B. It has the same menu around the world. C. It is a popular Mexican restaurant in China. D. It is a fast food restaurant serving Mexican food. 34. What does the underlined word “reflect” mean in Paragraph 5? A. astonish B. present C. deny D. arise 35. What does the article tell us about Taco Bell and Shake Shack? A. They try to keep the original characteristics in all locations. B. They will probably have more customers than KFC. C. They make changes to the menu for Chinese people’s tastes. D. They like to work together with Chinese restaurants. 【答案】32. B 33. D 34. B 35.

(Shake Shack餐厅的窗户上有卡通漫画，展示了胡彤的生活，Taco Bell餐厅的一面墙上有天坛广场的图片。)”可知，这两家餐厅的装饰也反映了中国文化的元素。A. astonish使吃惊；B. present展现，显示；C. deny否认；D. arise出现。划线单词与present意义一致。故选 B。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“However, there are new menu items that are special to the Beijing location, such as the Yang Berry Freeze and Avocado Oolong Tea. (不过，这家北京店也推出了一些特别的新菜单，比如杨果冻和鳄梨乌龙茶。)”、第三段中的“a milkshake special to Beijing (北京特色奶昔)”、最后一段“From the design to the menus, the two restaurants are “adding a touch of local flavor”, noted China news.(《中国新闻网》指出，从设计到菜单，这两家餐厅都“增添了一点当地风味”。)”的总结可知，Taco Bel和 Shake Shack都根据中国人的口味对菜单做出改变。故选 C。 第二节 (共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的答案中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。其中有两项为多余选项。 Building up your confidence not only helps feel good about yourself but also helps you leave a good impression on others. ___36___ Here are some tips that may help you achieve it.

(每天花一点时间塑造自己的个人形象。)承接上文，引出下文，符合上下文语境。故选E项。 【38题详解】 根据空前“Perfect your posture. How you carry yourself conveys a lot to others. Keep your shoulders back, your spine (脊椎) straight, and your chin high. (完善你的姿势。你的言行举止会给别人传达很多信息。保持你的肩膀向后，你的脊柱直，你的下巴高。)”可知本段是在讲如何通过完善个人姿势来树立自信，根据空后“Positioning yourself like that will make you genuinely feel in charge. And to top it off, having confident body language has been linked to lower levels of stress, too.

I saw my teacher’s eyes fixed on my every move. My mom’s blank expression betrayed one thing: disappointment. “He is not giving his full potential,” I heard my teacher say. I gazed down, afraid, ashamed, and determined. My determination was not to excel and put my best effort into improvement; my determination told me to give up. It was my first year in the United States. I was a fifth grader, and everything around me seemed alien. My native language had been Spanish, and after coming to the United States from Puerto Rico because of serious family problems, I just felt like hiding inside my metaphorical shell. The school itself was bright and very welcoming. The bright walls with colored dinosaurs and cartoons were appealing, and the distinct smell of crayons, play dough, and chalks made the place feel like my home. Then why did l have such a negative attitude? It was not because my teachers did not support me. They were willing to stay after school with me to help me learn the concepts. It was not because my classmates did not want me there. Most of them invited me to sit with them at lunch. It was not because I could not talk to anyone; I had a bilingual teacher with me all day, helping me. My negative attitude was the result of frustration and lack of interest in study. No matter how hard I tried, the mysterious code known as “English” would not take root in my brain. I tried for hours on end to improve my grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary ,but the unknown language “did not want to be learned”. Paragraph 1: One afternoon, my mother was informed to attend a parent-leacher conference. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, I found myself understanding English words I had thought I would never know. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Paragraph 1: One afternoon, my mother was informed to attend a parent-teacher conference. Having learned my sudden lack of interest and that I had just given up, she was not content. In fact,1 spent that whole afternoon listening to her telling me why I should struggle. She told me, “You can never achieve your goal unless you put your best effort into it.” That simple statement stuck in my young mind. It “clicked” and inspired me. Paragraph 2: The next day, I found myself understanding English words I had thought I would never know. A simple change in attitude had made the words slowly go from looking like something alien to actually making sense. My teachers’ welcoming smile, patience, and bright attitude, in addition to my desire to learn, were enough to make a difference. Within days, I found myself starting to communicate with the natives in English fluently. My mother helped me to see where my problems were lying, and learn that success in life requires desire, but desire is not enough.

B Most teenagers kill time playing video games, or surfing TikTok. But it’s not so for William Gadoury, a 14-year-old from Quebec. William Gadoury has been crazy about the Mayans for most of his childhood, ever since his grandparents bought him books about the civilization. What started as a hobby at age 12 snowballed into serious research, and he theorized that the locations of Mayan cities might correspond (相一致) to stars in Mayan constellations (星座). Using ancient books, Gadoury analyzed 22 Mayan constellation maps and covered the positions onto HERE WeGo images of the Yucatan Peninsula, which to this day is home to large local populations and some best-preserved architecture from Mayan culture. He would track the constellations from HERE WeGo using special sheets, covering them onto the position of Mayan cities on a paper map. The teen was able to show that 117 Mayan cities matched up with the position of the stars, with the brightest stars representing bigger cities. But when Gadoury was working on the 23rd Mayan constellation, he found a conflict: three stars, but only two ancient cities on HERE WeGo. The third star pointed to a location on the Mexico-Belize border. However, the area was covered with thick jungle, leaving Gadoury stuck. Luckily, he asked Canadian Space Agency (CSA) for images from their RADARSAT-2 satellite. Indeed, there was a square, man-made-looking structure in the heavy forest. Gadoury then learned a fire had swept across the region, thinning out the grass cover. He found images from the agency, and eventually concluded that there was indeed a city there. Gadoury’s findings eventually took him into the jungle in 2022 to search on foot, along with scientist Francisco Estrada- Belli. The team discovered a farming village deep in the Mexican jungle, which showed the “backbone” of the Maya’s long-term success, which was down to their ability to work the land and support large cities. 24. What are Gadoury’s findings mainly about? A. The villages in the Mexican jungle. B. The images from CSA satellites. C. The origins of Mayan culture. D. The locations of Mayan cities. 25. How did Gadoury carry out his research according to Paragraph 2? A. By tracking the best-preserved building on maps. B. By analyzing 117 Mayan cities in ancient books. C. By checking star maps against satellite images. D. By updating HERE WeGo on the Internet. 26. What made it difficult for Gadoury to find the third city of the 23rd Mayan constellation? A. A thick forest. B. A forest fire. C. Fund shortage. D. Bad weather. 27. Which of the following best describes Gadoury? A. Cheerful. B. Intelligent. C. Ambitious. D. Sympathetic. C Industrial agriculture is often held up as the solution to feeding the world’s growing population. But small farms of about 25 acres or less produce over 70 percent of the world’s food. To raise awareness of the contribution of these farmers, a global photo exhibition, We Feed the World, is to open on October 12 in London. “Industrial agriculture, which mainly focuses on a few types of crops, is not the only answer,” says art director Francesca Price. “We want these images to empower people to support their local food system.” By growing traditional and non-commercial varieties, small farms support biodiversity and increase food security. With only 12 plants and five animal species making up 75 percent of what the world eats, food systems will be easily hurt by natural disasters and disease outbreaks. However, traditional farming communities are working to preserve their ancient seed diversity. Keeping variety alive is very important in the face of climate change. In the future, researchers might need to get particular genes from one variety to help another to adapt to warmer, stormier, or drier weather, or to save a prized variety from disease. Contrary to the false impression held by the public, small farms that practise traditional agriculture can be highly productive. Studies show that the output of crops rises when there’s a wider diversity of crops being grown on a farm, and money is saved since the need for harmful fertilizer and other chemicals is reduced. “The photographs of family farmers may tell just a few local stories, but the message is universal,” says photographer Cheryl Newman. “I hope that the images will leave viewers thinking deeply about where their food comes from and the impact it has on the world around us.” 28. What is the purpose of the photo exhibition? A. To help small farmers to sell their produce. B. To show the challenges faced by small farmers. C. To draw attention to small farmers’ contribution. D. To help farmers to fight against industrial agriculture. 29. What can we say about the industrial agriculture? A. It produces more food than small farms in total. B. It harms biodiversity and decreases food security. C. It has been competing unfairly with small farms. D. It is the only way to feed the world’s population. 30. Why is it important to preserve the traditional and non-commercial crops? A. Their genes are much better. B. Their output is much higher. C. They may help improve the other crops. D. They don’t need chemical fertilizers at all. 31. What is the text mainly about? A. The importance of traditional small farms. B. The problems with the industrial agriculture. C. The consequences of fast-growing population. D. The impact of climate change on agriculture. D Beijing is no stranger to Western food. American restaurants like McDonald’s and KFC have brought more Western dishes to the local food scene in recent years. Now, two new restaurants have joined them. In August, Tac o Bell and Shake Shack opened their doors to cager customers in Beijing. Taco Bell is a popular American fast food restaurant that features Mexican food. Hard- and soft-shell tacos are a staple (主食) on the menu; they are generally served with beef, lettuce and tomato. And of course there are burritos—chicken, beef or beans wrapped in a tortilla (墨西哥薄馅饼). However, there are new menu items that are special to the Beijing location, such as the Yang Berry Freeze and Avocado Oolong Tea. Shake Shack, known for its traditional American-style hamburgers and milk shakes, is also serving up dishes that won’t be found in branches outside of the capital. Harry Wang, who studied in the US, visited the restaurant soon after it opened. “The last time I had Shake Shack was more than a year ago when I was in the United States,” Wang said. “They are pretty similar to what we had in the United States, but there is a milkshake special to Beijing.” The milkshake Wang referred to is the Hutong Hawthorn. The shake mixes hawthorn, a traditional Chinese snack, into a milkshake, a common ice cream drink in Western fast food. The Beijing Shake Shack also offers roasted chestnut ice cream. Both restaurants also reflect elements of Chinese culture in their decorations. Shake Shack’s windows feature cartoons showing hu tong life, and Taco Bell has a picture of a pa lace at the Temple of Heaven on one of its walls. From the design to the menus, the two restaurants are “adding a touch of local flavor”, noted China news. 32. Why are McDonald’s and KFC mentioned in the first paragraph? A. To show the popularity of Western food in Beijing. B. To lead up to the topic of new Western restaurants in Beijing. C. To compare the differences between McDonald’s and KFC. D. To express the author’s personal love of Western food. 33. What can we know about Taco Bell? A. It is a traditional Mexican restaurant. B. It has the same menu around the world. C. It is a popular Mexican restaurant in China. D. It is a fast food restaurant serving Mexican food. 34. What does the underlined word “reflect” mean in Paragraph 5? A. astonish B. present C. deny D. arise 35. What does the article tell us about Taco Bell and Shake Shack? A. They try to keep the original characteristics in all locations. B. They will probably have more customers than KFC. C. They make changes to the menu for Chinese people’s tastes. D. They like to work together with Chinese restaurants. 第二节 (共 5 小题; 每小题 2.5 分, 满分 12.5 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的答案中选出能填入空白处的最佳答案。其中有两项为多余选项。 Building up your confidence not only helps feel good about yourself but also helps you leave a good impression on others. ___36___ Here are some tips that may help you achieve it.

I saw my teacher’s eyes fixed on my every move. My mom’s blank expression betrayed one thing: disappointment. “He is not giving his full potential,” I heard my teacher say. I gazed down, afraid, ashamed, and determined. My determination was not to excel and put my best effort into improvement; my determination told me to give up. It was my first year in the United States. I was a fifth grader, and everything around me seemed alien. My native language had been Spanish, and after coming to the United States from Puerto Rico because of serious family problems, I just felt like hiding inside my metaphorical shell. The school itself was bright and very welcoming. The bright walls with colored dinosaurs and cartoons were appealing, and the distinct smell of crayons, play dough, and chalks made the place feel like my home. Then why did l have such a negative attitude? It was not because my teachers did not support me. They were willing to stay after school with me to help me learn the concepts. It was not because my classmates did not want me there. Most of them invited me to sit with them at lunch. It was not because I could not talk to anyone; I had a bilingual teacher with me all day, helping me. My negative attitude was the result of frustration and lack of interest in study. No matter how hard I tried, the mysterious code known as “English” would not take root in my brain. I tried for hours on end to improve my grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary ,but the unknown language “did not want to be learned”. Paragraph 1: One afternoon, my mother was informed to attend a parent-leacher conference. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: The next day, I found myself understanding English words I had thought I would never know. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
