Chin was partially paralysed in 2018 after a stroke. For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate. “At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn’t even use a wheelchair,” she says. “I realised that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my old life.”
Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn’t want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy (疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport. “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says.
The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65-year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says. “The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it’s changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.”
Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair. “We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs. “I’m the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn’t come into it — it’s such a pleasure.”
“I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says. “I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there’s opportunity out there — they don’t have to be alone.”
26.Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team?
A.She was passionate about the sports. B.She was inspired by a social worker.
C.She gained the support from the team. D.She wanted to test the effect of therapy.
27.What did Chin experience during the first two attempts?
A.A mental struggle. B.A frustrating rejection.
C.A warm welcome. D.A hard training session.
28.What does Chin think of the team?
A.It relieves her aging anxiety. B.It feels like a happy family.
C.It has brilliant basketball players. D.It helps her enjoy some jokes.
29.Which of the following can best describe Chin?
A.Modest and cheerful. B.Talented and creative.
C.Confident and honest. D.Independent and kind.

When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the world, customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor sips of these tasty drinks.
In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: Would milk tea just be another fad (一时风尚) food? And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila- based milk-tea company, faced in2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.
Unsure of what consumers truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitors. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate?
Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea triggered three consistent psychological responses.
People connected to milk through the concept of nurturing; they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological cornerstones of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path.
30.What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Made an adjustment. B.Won a position.
C.Lost the initiative. D.Achieved a breakthrough.
31.What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014?
A.Being confused with other brands. B.The rapid growth of milk tea brands.
C.The possibility of milk tea catching on. D.Falling behind the changing consumer tastes.
32.What did CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in?
A.Product packaging design. B.Market expansion strategies.
C.Analysis of customer psychology. D.Flavor innovation and development.
33.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A New Path to Business Success B.Three Cornerstones of Milk Tea
C.Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea D.Revealing Milk Tea Psychology
D
Good news for lazy gardeners: one labour-saving change could almost double the number of butterflies in your garden, according to a new scientific study — let the grass grow long.
Now an analyses of six years of butterfly sightings across 600 British gardens has provided evidence that wilder lawns increase numbers.The benefits of leaving areas of grass long were most obvious in gardens within intensively (密集) farmed landscapes, with up to 93% more butterflies found and a greater range of species. Gardens with long grass in urban areas showed an 18% increase.
“We wanted to be able to give tried and tested gardening advice that will benefit butterflies, as we know lots of people want to help,” said Dr Richard Fox, the head of science at Butterfly Conservation and a co-author of the study, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
“This study proves, for the first time, that allowing a patch of grass to grow long will attract more butterflies into your garden,” he said.
According to the study, long grass in gardens attracts more butterfly species whose caterpillars feed on grasses. Fox said this suggested the lift in population was not simply because long grass provided more nectar (花蜜) from wildflowers within it, but because butterflies were seeking or actually breeding (繁殖) in rewilded lawns.
Fox said: “What people are doing with long grass in gardens is creating potential or actual breeding habitat. In order to make an impact on the bio-diversity crisis we need to be creating places where butterflies and other wildlife can breed.”
If you have a patch of long grass you may have grasshoppers, beetles and ant hills as well — there will be all these spin-offs (派生物).” He added.
34.What do we know about the study?
A.The researchers viewed 600 Americans gardens.
B.Only more butterflies were found in the gardens.
C.Dr. Richard Fox alone completed the research.
D.It proves wilder lawns attracts more butterflies.
35.Why do more butterfly species go to wilder fields?
A.They can eat caterpillars on the long grass.
B.Wild flowers create a beautiful environment.
C.Butterflies will easily breed babies there.
D.Wild grass can itself provide sweet nectar.
36.Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Long grass brings more butterflies.
B.Lazy gardeners have a good harvest.
C.More sighting of butterflies in cities.
D.A good labour-saving change in factory.
37.What do Fox’s words mean in the last two paragraphs?
A.If you are lazy, your vegetables will be eaten by insects.
B.The effortless change helps solve the bio-diversity crisis.
C.We should protect just butterflies instead of other wildlife.
D.Ants and grasshoppers are less important than butterflies.

“Swimmers, take your marks!”
A beep signaled the start of the race, Tara dove into the pool, beginning her first IM (个人混合泳). Despite being a strong swimmer, the thought of the IM had made her nervous all morning. Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke (蛙泳), and freestyle. She’d been repeating the order in her head all morning, but had messed it up several times in practice.
Tara burst through the water, starting with the butterfly stroke. Soon, she touched the wall and made a swift turn, pushing off hard. She did one frog kick and drew her arms under the water for the breaststroke, then quickly turned over to her back. Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. She knew the order, but she'd messed up again. Had the officials seen her mistake?
Tara smoothly completed her backstroke lap, then the breaststroke. She moved ahead, and kept the lead through the freestyle lap, scoring a comfortable win. She looked up at the scoreboard. The results listed her as the winner. Would that hold up after her mistake?
A few minutes later, the announce read the results. Tara had been disqualified, meaning she’d scored none for her team. “Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, I knew the order,” Tara muttered as she prepared for the final relay (接力赛).
Each of the four relay members would complete one lap of the 25-metre pool, and all would swim freestyle. As the final swimmer, Tara had an opportunity to make up for the disqualification.
The first swimmers for each team were lined up at the end of the pool, shaking out their arms and legs as they loosened up. Tara reached her arms to the sides and gently swung them. All set, she thought.
Tara’s teammates swam well. After two lengths of the pool, they had a small lead. But the third swimmer fell back a bit. As the leader approached the wall, Tara’s teammate Hannah was slightly behind. “Come on, come on!” Tara whispered. She leaned forward, ready to spring as soon as Hannah touched the wall. Soon after the leader dived into the pool, Tara did too.
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。

【原文】W: Thank you very much I’m very happy to be here today. This conference has offered a good opportunity for concerned people to meet an exchange ideas on these important issues. There are many positive water projects in progress around the world. I’m going to start with two examples and then later we’ll consider them in detail. But first is here in the United States near EL paso. Texas in a small town called SAN ellizario SAN elizario is a very poor town. And until just recently people there did not have a water system in the town so water for drinking cooking and toilets was difficult to get. The water authorities had told the town repeatedly that water systems would be built but it never happened. Finally the women in the town had enough and they decided to do something about the problem. They got together and build a water system for themselves. Obviously they have to learn as they went along but they built things themselves and raise the money throughout the project and they did it. The lives of the families and SAN ellizario have changed because they now have enough water for everyday activities. People from nearby towns that still don’t have water systems have visited the town to get ideas about how they might set up something similar this is a real success story. Another example of a successful project is in India.

Chin was partially paralysed in 2018 after a stroke. For several months, she remained in hospital and began to rebuild her strength and ability to communicate. “At the beginning, I was so weak I couldn’t even use a wheelchair,” she says. “I realised that I wouldn’t be able to go back to my old life.”
Asking for help was particularly difficult as Chin didn’t want to feel like a burden, but after being recommended a course of therapy (疗法), she started to glimpse a future for herself. She started opening up to other people and one day her social worker suggested she should try a sport. “She mentioned the wheelchair basketball team and I decided to give it a try,” she says.
The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65-year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says. “The third time, though, I made myself go through before I could think about it. The team welcomed me with open arms and it’s changed the way I live in my wheelchair ever since.”
Following that successful third attempt onto the court in 2022, Chin was enlisted as part of the 10- person team and began attending weekly training sessions learning how to pass, throw and defend while moving herself in a specially designed chair. “We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes,” she laughs. “I’m the oldest on the team and the youngest is 19 but when I play, age doesn’t come into it — it’s such a pleasure.”
“I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can,” she says. “I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join. They might be feeling like I was, but I want them to know that there’s opportunity out there — they don’t have to be alone.”
26.Why did Chin try out for the wheelchair basketball team?
A.She was passionate about the sports. B.She was inspired by a social worker.
C.She gained the support from the team. D.She wanted to test the effect of therapy.
27.What did Chin experience during the first two attempts?
A.A mental struggle. B.A frustrating rejection.
C.A warm welcome. D.A hard training session.
28.What does Chin think of the team?
A.It relieves her aging anxiety. B.It feels like a happy family.
C.It has brilliant basketball players. D.It helps her enjoy some jokes.
29.Which of the following can best describe Chin?

27.推理判断题。根据第三段“The first two times Rose Chin arrived at the basketball court as a 65- year-old , to try out for the Inverness wheelchair team, she couldn’t make it past the doors. “I looked through the window and just thought: ‘I can’t do this,’” she says.(65岁的Rose Chin头两次来到篮球场,参加Inverness轮椅队的选拔,她都没能通过。她说:“我看着窗外,心想:‘我不能做成这件事。’)”可知,Chin在前两次尝试中经历了心里的挣扎。故选A。
28.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“We very quickly became a little family with a WhatsApp group full of jokes(我们很快就成了一个小家庭,在WhatsApp上有一个充满笑话的群)”可知,Chin认为这支球队感觉就像一个幸福的家庭。故选B。
29.推理判断题。根据最后一段“I feel so independent and I know I will keep playing for as long as I can(我觉得自己很独立,我知道只要我能,我就会一直玩下去)”和“I want us to raise more money to get more equipment so we can encourage others to join.(我希望我们能筹集更多的资金来购买更多的设备,这样我们就可以鼓励其他人加入。)”可知,Chin是独立的,善良的。故选D。

When you see someone take that first sip of freshly made milk tea, their faces look like pure joy. Across the world, customers flock to their favorite spots to meet with friends and savor sips of these tasty drinks.
In the early 2000s, though, milk tea was just coming on the scene. The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry were concerned: Would milk tea just be another fad (一时风尚) food? And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila- based milk-tea company, faced in2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.
Unsure of what consumers truly felt towards the drink, they offered as many flavors as possible. They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitors. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate?
Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer “why”. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea triggered three consistent psychological responses.
People connected to milk through the concept of nurturing; they fondly remembered their childhood and being cared for by their mothers. Next, consumers connected tea to its healing properties; respondents would recall receiving tea when they had indigestion problems or seeing their parents drinking herbal tea for health reasons. Lastly, they associated milk tea itself with teenage fun: a guilty pleasure of their youth. They had uncovered the three psychological cornerstones of the milk tea experience: nurturing, healing, and teenage fun. This set of insights was crucial. By including them into the core of their brand strategy, they charted an entirely new path.
30.What do the underlined words “earned a foothold” mean in Paragraph 2?
A.Made an adjustment. B.Won a position.
C.Lost the initiative. D.Achieved a breakthrough.
31.What was Serenitea’s main concern in 2014?
A.Being confused with other brands. B.The rapid growth of milk tea brands.
C.The possibility of milk tea catching on. D.Falling behind the changing consumer tastes.
32.What did CIA Bootleg Manila specialize in?
A.Product packaging design. B.Market expansion strategies.
C.Analysis of customer psychology. D.Flavor innovation and development.
33.Which can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A New Path to Business Success B.Three Cornerstones of Milk Tea
C.Sharing the Pure Joy of Milk Tea D.Revealing Milk Tea Psychology
【答案】30.B 31.A 32.C 33.D
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章讲述了Serenitea这个奶茶品牌在发展过程中遇到的挑战,以及他们如何通过深入研究消费者心理,找到了品牌的独特定位,从而开辟了一条全新的发展道路。
30.词句猜测题。根据下文“These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila- based milk-tea company, faced in 2014. While successfully opening 60 stores, they found themselves in a strategic fog.(这些都是马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea在2014年面临的问题。虽然成功地开了60家店,但他们发现自己陷入了战略迷雾)”可知,马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea虽然已经开了60家店,在奶茶行业成功立足,但它仍然充满担忧。由此推知,“马尼拉奶茶公司Serenitea”是对划线词所在句中“The few brands that earned a foothold in the industry”的举例说明,其意为“为数不多的在这个行业站稳脚跟的品牌”,后置定语从句“that earned a foothold in the industry”中“earned a foothold”的意思是“赢得了一席之地;站稳脚跟”,即“Won a position”。故选B。
31.推理判断题。根据第二段中“And with so much new excitement for this product, would people be able to distinguish milk tea companies? These were the questions that Serenitea, a Manila- based milk-tea company, faced in2014.(伴随着这款产品带来的如此多的新兴奋点,人们能否区分开奶茶公司呢?这些是马尼拉一家奶茶公司Serenitea在2014年所面临的问题)”和第三段中“They also had no clear definition of how they were distinct — their brand promise, product line, and product packaging all seemed nearly identical to their competitors. How could they define themselves, in a way that would deeply resonate?(他们也不清楚自己究竟有何独特之处——他们的品牌承诺、产品线和产品包装似乎都与竞争对手几乎一模一样。他们究竟该如何界定自身,才能引起消费者的强烈共鸣呢?)”可推知,Serenitea在2014年的主要担忧是自身品牌与其他奶茶品牌没有区分度,容易混淆。故选A。
32.细节理解题。根据第四段中“Like Airbnb, Serenitea partnered with an agency, CIA Bootleg Manila, which specializes in drilling down to the deep consumer ‘why’. The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea.(像Airbnb一样,Serenitea与一家名为CIA Bootleg Manila的机构合作,该机构专门研究深入探究消费者的‘为什么’。该机构进行了一系列以心理为基础的市场调查。具体来说,他们探究了消费者与奶茶更深层次的情感联系,包括他们童年对牛奶和茶的最早记忆)”可知,CIA Bootleg Manila进行了一系列以心理为基础的市场调查,专门深入探究消费者的心理。故选C。
33.主旨大意题。根据全文内容,结合第四段中“The agency conducted a series of psychological-based market research. Specifically, they probed the consumer’s deeper, emotional connections to milk tea, including their earliest childhood memories of milk and tea. Their research revealed that milk tea triggered three consistent psychological responses.(该机构进行了一系列以心理为基础的市场调查。具体来说,他们探究了消费者与奶茶更深层次的情感联系,包括他们童年对牛奶和茶的最早记忆。他们的研究表明,奶茶会引发三种一致的心理反应)”可知,文章主要说明了奶茶背后心理学原理的发现和揭示过程,按照时间顺序展开,从出现问题到寻求解决,最终找到答案。故D项“揭示奶茶心理”最符合文章标题。故选D。
D
Good news for lazy gardeners: one labour-saving change could almost double the number of butterflies in your garden, according to a new scientific study — let the grass grow long.
Now an analyses of six years of butterfly sightings across 600 British gardens has provided evidence that wilder lawns increase numbers.The benefits of leaving areas of grass long were most obvious in gardens within intensively (密集) farmed landscapes, with up to 93% more butterflies found and a greater range of species. Gardens with long grass in urban areas showed an 18% increase.
“We wanted to be able to give tried and tested gardening advice that will benefit butterflies, as we know lots of people want to help,” said Dr Richard Fox, the head of science at Butterfly Conservation and a co-author of the study, published in the journal Science of the Total Environment.
“This study proves, for the first time, that allowing a patch of grass to grow long will attract more butterflies into your garden,” he said.
According to the study, long grass in gardens attracts more butterfly species whose caterpillars feed on grasses. Fox said this suggested the lift in population was not simply because long grass provided more nectar (花蜜) from wildflowers within it, but because butterflies were seeking or actually breeding (繁殖) in rewilded lawns.
Fox said: “What people are doing with long grass in gardens is creating potential or actual breeding habitat. In order to make an impact on the bio-diversity crisis we need to be creating places where butterflies and other wildlife can breed.”
If you have a patch of long grass you may have grasshoppers, beetles and ant hills as well — there will be all these spin-offs (派生物).” He added.
34.What do we know about the study?
A.The researchers viewed 600 Americans gardens.
B.Only more butterflies were found in the gardens.
C.Dr. Richard Fox alone completed the research.
D.It proves wilder lawns attracts more butterflies.
35.Why do more butterfly species go to wilder fields?
A.They can eat caterpillars on the long grass.
B.Wild flowers create a beautiful environment.
C.Butterflies will easily breed babies there.
D.Wild grass can itself provide sweet nectar.
36.Which is the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Long grass brings more butterflies.
B.Lazy gardeners have a good harvest.
C.More sighting of butterflies in cities.
D.A good labour-saving change in factory.
37.What do Fox’s words mean in the last two paragraphs?
A.If you are lazy, your vegetables will be eaten by insects.
B.The effortless change helps solve the bio-diversity crisis.
C.We should protect just butterflies instead of other wildlife.
D.Ants and grasshoppers are less important than butterflies.
【答案】34.D 35.C 36.A 37.B
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讨论了一项研究发现,即让草长得更长可以吸引更多的蝴蝶,并有助于解决生物多样性危机。
34.细节理解题。根据第二段的“Now an analyses of six years of butterfly sightings across 600 British gardens has provided evidence that wilder lawns increase numbers.(现在,对英国600个花园六年来蝴蝶目击事件的分析提供了证据,表明更荒凉的草坪会增加蝴蝶的数量)”可知,研究证明了更野生的草坪吸引了更多的蝴蝶。故选D。
35.细节理解题。根据第五段的“Fox said this suggested the lift in population was not simply because long grass provided more nectar(花蜜)from wildflowers within it, but because butterflies were seeking or actually breeding(繁殖)in rewilded lawns.(福克斯说,这表明种群数量的增加不仅仅是因为长草从其中的野花中提供了更多的花蜜,还因为蝴蝶在重新修剪的草坪上寻找或实际繁殖)”可知,更多的蝴蝶种类去到更野生的草地是因为它们更容易在那里繁殖。故选C。
36.主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段的“Good news for lazy gardeners: one labour-saving change could almost double the number of butterflies in your garden,according to a new scientific study—let the grass grow long.(对于懒惰的园丁来说,这是个好消息:根据一项新的科学研究,一项节省劳动力的改变几乎可以使你花园里的蝴蝶数量翻一番——让草长高)”可知,文章主要讨论了一项研究发现,即让草长得更长可以吸引更多的蝴蝶,并有助于解决生物多样性危机。故选A。
37.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“In order to make an impact on the bio-diversity crisis we need to be creating places where butterflies and other wildlife can breed.(为了对生物多样性危机产生影响,我们需要创造蝴蝶和其他野生动物可以繁殖的地方)”以及最后一段“If you have a patch of long grass you may have grasshoppers, beetles and ant hills as well — there will be all these spin-offs(派生物).” He added.(他补充道:“如果你有一片长草,你可能也会有蚱蜢、甲虫和蚁丘——会有所有这些副产品。”)”可推知,Fox的话意味着这种不费力的改变有助于解决生物多样性危机。故选B。

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Swimmers, take your marks!”
A beep signaled the start of the race, Tara dove into the pool, beginning her first IM (个人混合泳). Despite being a strong swimmer, the thought of the IM had made her nervous all morning. Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke (蛙泳), and freestyle. She’d been repeating the order in her head all morning, but had messed it up several times in practice.
Tara burst through the water, starting with the butterfly stroke. Soon, she touched the wall and made a swift turn, pushing off hard. She did one frog kick and drew her arms under the water for the breaststroke, then quickly turned over to her back. Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle. She knew the order, but she'd messed up again. Had the officials seen her mistake?
Tara smoothly completed her backstroke lap, then the breaststroke. She moved ahead, and kept the lead through the freestyle lap, scoring a comfortable win. She looked up at the scoreboard. The results listed her as the winner. Would that hold up after her mistake?
A few minutes later, the announce read the results. Tara had been disqualified, meaning she’d scored none for her team. “Butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle, I knew the order,” Tara muttered as she prepared for the final relay (接力赛).
Each of the four relay members would complete one lap of the 25-metre pool, and all would swim freestyle. As the final swimmer, Tara had an opportunity to make up for the disqualification.
The first swimmers for each team were lined up at the end of the pool, shaking out their arms and legs as they loosened up. Tara reached her arms to the sides and gently swung them. All set, she thought.
Tara’s teammates swam well. After two lengths of the pool, they had a small lead. But the third swimmer fell back a bit. As the leader approached the wall, Tara’s teammate Hannah was slightly behind. “Come on, come on!” Tara whispered. She leaned forward, ready to spring as soon as Hannah touched the wall. Soon after the leader dived into the pool, Tara did too.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Catch her, Tara told herself. Make up for that disqualification! Tara churned through the water. Every stroke had to be fast. Her head drew even with the leader’s knees, then with her waist. With 10 metres to go, Tara was within inches of the lead. She stroked harder. Whap! Tara slapped the wall hard. Had she done it? A turn towards her competitor gave her the answer. The girl had her arms raised high, and her relay mates were cheering. After shaking hands with the winner, Tara scrambled out of the pool and gave Hannah a quick hug. “We should be champions,” she said. “We all swam well. You almost won it for us,” said Hannah. “Almost,” Tara said, breathing hard. “But almost isn’t good enough!” she thought sadly.
Tara looked at her teammates celebrating their second- place finish. After all, they’d done very well today. Tara smiled. “I’ll be right back,” she said. Tara joined the swim team, bumping fists with her teammates. Her coach came over and pointed to his clipboard. “Your IM time would have been a team record,” he said. “It doesn’t count, of course, but do you want to give it another try next weekend?” “Definitely,” Tara said. She laughed happily. “I’ll have an entire week to memorize the order. I think I can handle that!”
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Tara参加个人混合泳比赛,虽然赛前紧张且练习时出错,但仍以领先完成比赛,但因比赛中泳姿顺序出错被取消资格。在接下来的接力赛中,作为最后一棒,Tara有机会弥补之前的失误,队友们表现出色,为Tara创造了赶超机会,她全神贯注,准备在接力中发挥最佳水平。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段句首内容“跟上她,Tara告诉自己。”可知,第一段可以描写Tara比赛的过程和心理活动。
②由第二段句首内容“Tara看着队友们正在庆祝获得第二名。”可知,第二段可以描写Tara与队友的庆祝和教练的邀请。
