Olympic National Park covers nearly 1 million acres in Washington State. While the typical image of the park is a dark, damp, and overwhelmingly beautiful temperate rainforest, the park also shelters a wild Pacific coastline that seems totally untouched by humans.

From a young age, I collected role models. In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Beyoncé. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and copying others — especially women of color who looked or sounded like me — I gained confidence in my own abilities.
But when I started my own company, my pool of potential role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who could I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I emulate?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see — women like Oprah, Melinda, and Vicky, cofounder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.
Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day!
That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too—because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.
I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard — a reminder that, just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow.
4. Why did the author create an inspiration wall in her office?

B. To inspire her employees’ creativity.
C. To make her workplace more attractive.
D. To improve her employees’ work efficiency.
5. Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky?

B. She feared for being rejected by others.
C. Vicky’s story had always motivated her.
D. Vicky liked giving guidance to other women.
6. Which of the following can best describe the author?

C. Honest and responsible. D. Talented and capable.
7. What is the best title for this passage?

Cars produced today are essentially smartphones with wheels. For drivers, this has meant many new features: automatic braking (刹车), turn-by-turn directions, entertainment systems. But carmakers are getting much more. They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have and even financial information. But who owns and, finally, controls that data? And what are carmakers doing with it?
The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’re come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation.
What carmakers are doing with the collected data isn’t clear. We know they use it to improve car performance and safety. And we know they have the ability to sell it to third parties they might choose. The data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share your data with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there is no opt-out (退出权) feature for your car.
Carmakers use data to warn us when something needs repair or when our cars need to be taken in for service. For almost a century, car owners have been able to take their vehicles to whichever shop they trust for maintenance and repair. That may be changing. When carmakers control the data, they can choose which service centers receive our information. They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have the edge in price and convenience.
It’s clear, because of its value — as high as $750 billion by 2030 — carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the opportunity to give drivers control — not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people they want to see it. This will let car owners maintain what they’ve had for a century: the right to decide who fixes their car.
8. How is paragraph 2 developed?
A. By presenting data. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.
9. What if carmakers control user’s data?
A. More car shops will open.
B. Users will pay more for service.
C. Independent repair shops will make profits.
D. Carmakers will provide more repair shops.
10. What does the underlined phrase “have the edge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Be weaker. B. Be worse. C. Be safer. D. Be better.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Laws are expected to bring the data back to drivers.
B. Drivers trade personal information for convenience.
C. Carmakers will share the vehicle data with drivers soon.
D. Car owners already have direct access to their vehicle data.
D
Close your eyes and picture yourself walking in the town. You can probably imagine the turns you’d need to take and the landmarks you’d encounter. This ability to imagine such scenarios in our minds is thought to be crucial to humans’ ability to plan ahead and has long been considered as a feature that distinguishes humans from animals. But a new study has found that rats can think about objects and places that are not right in front of them.
Like humans, when rats experience places and events, specific neural (神经系统的) activity patterns are activated in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain responsible for spatial (空间的) memory. In the study, the researchers developed a brain-machine interface (BMI), which allows them to test whether a rat can activate hippocampal activity to imagine going to a location.
First, some rats were placed into a virtual reality environment and were rewarded when they traveled through this environment towards their goals by running on a treadmill (跑步机). At the same time, the BMI system recorded the rat’s hippocampal activity. The researchers could see which neurons were activated when the rat navigated the environment to reach each goal. Next, researchers disconnected the treadmill so that the rats could still see the virtual reality environment, but their running had no impact. By reproducing the brain activity they’d shown during the previous sessions, the rats could navigate to reward locations using just their thoughts.
“Although it’s still unclear what the rat is experiencing while it’s traveling, the team has done a convincing job of showing rats can voluntarily reactivate mental maps of familiar places,” said Shayna, a cognitive neuroscientist.
The research also shows that the BMI can be used to explore hippocampal activity, providing a novel system for studying this important brain region. Because the BMI is increasingly used in prosthetics (假肢), this new work also opens up the possibility of designing novel prosthetic devices based on the same principles.
12. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To explore whether rats have the ability to imagine.
B. To compare how humans and rats process spatial memory.
C. To record how rats navigate in an unfamiliar environment.
D. To prove the hippocampus is associated with spatial memory in rats.
13. What happened to the rats after the treadmill was disconnected?
A. They had difficulty running freely.
B. They demonstrated abnormal brain activity.
C. They could reach reward places using mental maps.
D. They were at a loss in the virtual reality environment.
14. What’s Shayna’s attitude towards the new study?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
15. What does the author highlight about the BMI in the last paragraph?
A. Its design concept. B. Its research limitation.
C. Its operating principle. D. Its application potential.

47. 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。
“You should go for it,” Artie said, giving my shoulder a squeeze as we stood gazing at the poster. ‘Cinderella — auditions (试镜) this Thursday after school,’ the words proclaimed.
“Me?” My voice came out as a frightened squeak. “Come on, Amy. You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play.
When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长).
Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions.
Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive.
Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning.
“When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient.
“Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated.
As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come.

From a young age, I collected role models. In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Beyoncé. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and copying others — especially women of color who looked or sounded like me — I gained confidence in my own abilities.
But when I started my own company, my pool of potential role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who could I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I emulate?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see — women like Oprah, Melinda, and Vicky, cofounder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.
Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day!
That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too—because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.
I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard — a reminder that, just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow.
4. Why did the author create an inspiration wall in her office?

Cars produced today are essentially smartphones with wheels. For drivers, this has meant many new features: automatic braking (刹车), turn-by-turn directions, entertainment systems. But carmakers are getting much more. They’re constantly collecting data from our vehicles, like how much we weigh, how fast we drive, how many children we have and even financial information. But who owns and, finally, controls that data? And what are carmakers doing with it?
The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’re come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation.
What carmakers are doing with the collected data isn’t clear. We know they use it to improve car performance and safety. And we know they have the ability to sell it to third parties they might choose. The data on your driving habits could be valuable to insurance companies. You may or may not choose to share your data with these services. But while you can turn off location data on your cellphone, there is no opt-out (退出权) feature for your car.
Carmakers use data to warn us when something needs repair or when our cars need to be taken in for service. For almost a century car owners have been able to take their vehicles to whichever shop they trust for maintenance and repair. That may be changing. When carmakers control the data, they can choose which service centers receive our information. They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have the edge in price and convenience.
It’s clear, because of its value — as high as $750 billion by 2030 — carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the opportunity to give drivers control — not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people they want to see it. This will let car owners maintain what they’ve had for a century: the right to decide who fixes their car.
8. How is paragraph 2 developed?
A. By presenting data. B. By giving examples.
C. By analyzing causes. D. By making comparisons.
9. What if carmakers control user’s data?
A. More car shops will open.
B. Users will pay more for service.
C. Independent repair shops will make profits.
D. Carmakers will provide more repair shops.
10. What does the underlined phrase “have the edge” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Be weaker. B. Be worse. C. Be safer. D. Be better.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Laws are expected to bring the data back to drivers.
B. Drivers trade personal information for convenience.
C. Carmakers will share the vehicle data with drivers soon.
D. Car owners already have direct access to their vehicle data.
【答案】8. D 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,主要讨论了汽车制造商收集车辆数据及其所有权和控制权问题。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“The issue of ownership is not clearly known. Drivers usually sign away their rights to data. It’s not unlike buying a smartphone. The difference is that most customers have no idea vehicles collect data. We know our smartphones collect data and we’re come to accept that we trade personal information for convenience. With cars, we have no such expectation.(所有权问题尚不明确。司机通常会签署放弃数据权利的文件。这与购买智能手机的情况不无相似。区别在于,大多数顾客并不知道车辆会收集数据。我们知道智能手机会收集数据,并且我们已经接受用个人信息换取便利的事实。但对于汽车,我们并没有这样的预期。)”可推知,第二段是通过智能手机和汽车收集数据的对比来展开论述的,即通过比较来展开论述的。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段最后一句“They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have the edge in price and convenience.(他们更有可能只与他们的品牌经销商分享我们的数据,而不是与在价格和便利性方面有优势的独立维修店分享。)”可知,如果汽车制造商控制用户的数据,那么他们更有可能只与他们的品牌经销商分享数据,而不是与在价格和便利性方面有优势的独立维修店分享,这意味着用户可能需要为服务支付更多费用,因为品牌经销商的收费可能会更高。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段最后一句“They’re more likely to share our data only with their branded dealerships (经销商) than with independent repair shops which could have the edge in price and convenience.(他们更有可能只与他们的品牌经销商分享我们的数据,而不是与在价格和便利性方面_____的独立维修店分享。)”可知,独立维修店在价格和便利性方面应该是有某种优势,才会让汽车制造商不愿意与它们分享数据,所以“have the edge”在这里的意思是“更好”。故选D。
11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“It’s clear, because of its value—as high as $750 billion by 2030—carmakers are unlikely to release control of the data collected from our vehicles. Policymakers, however, have the opportunity to give drivers control—not just so that they can keep their data private but also so that they can share it with the people they want to see it.(很明显,由于其价值可能高达7500亿美元(截至2030年),汽车制造商不太可能放弃对我们车辆所收集数据的控制权。然而,政策制定者有机会让驾驶员掌握控制权——这不仅仅是为了保护他们的数据隐私,还为了让他们能与希望看到这些数据的人共享数据。)”可推知,法律有望将数据归还给司机。故选A。
D
Close your eyes and picture yourself walking in the town. You can probably imagine the turns you’d need to take and the landmarks you’d encounter. This ability to imagine such scenarios in our minds is thought to be crucial to humans’ ability to plan ahead and has long been considered as a feature that distinguishes humans from animals. But a new study has found that rats can think about objects and places that are not right in front of them.
Like humans, when rats experience places and events, specific neural (神经系统的) activity patterns are activated in the hippocampus (海马体), an area of the brain responsible for spatial (空间的) memory. In the study, the researchers developed a brain-machine interface (BMI), which allows them to test whether a rat can activate hippocampal activity to imagine going to a location.
First, some rats were placed into a virtual reality environment and were rewarded when they traveled through this environment towards their goals by running on a treadmill (跑步机). At the same time, the BMI system recorded the rat’s hippocampal activity. The researchers could see which neurons were activated when the rat navigated the environment to reach each goal. Next, researchers disconnected the treadmill so that the rats could still see the virtual reality environment, but their running had no impact. By reproducing the brain activity they’d shown during the previous sessions, the rats could navigate to reward locations using just their thoughts.
“Although it’s still unclear what the rat is experiencing while it’s traveling, the team has done a convincing job of showing rats can voluntarily reactivate mental maps of familiar places,” said Shayna, a cognitive neuroscientist.
The research also shows that the BMI can be used to explore hippocampal activity, providing a novel system for studying this important brain region. Because the BMI is increasingly used in prosthetics (假肢), this new work also opens up the possibility of designing novel prosthetic devices based on the same principles.
12. What is the purpose of the new study?
A. To explore whether rats have the ability to imagine.
B. To compare how humans and rats process spatial memory.
C. To record how rats navigate in an unfamiliar environment.
D. To prove the hippocampus is associated with spatial memory in rats.
13. What happened to the rats after the treadmill was disconnected?
A. They had difficulty running freely.
B. They demonstrated abnormal brain activity.
C. They could reach reward places using mental maps.
D. They were at a loss in the virtual reality environment.
14. What’s Shayna’s attitude towards the new study?
A. Concerned. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.
15. What does the author highlight about the BMI in the last paragraph?
A. Its design concept. B. Its research limitation.
C. Its operating principle. D. Its application potential.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,一项新的研究发现,老鼠可以思考不在它们面前的物体和地方。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“But a new study has found that rats can think about objects and places that are not right in front of them.(但一项新的研究发现,老鼠可以思考不在它们面前的物体和地方)”和第二段中“In the study, the researchers developed a brain-machine interface (BMI), which allows them to test whether a rat can activate hippocampal activity to imagine going to a location.(在这项研究中,研究人员开发了一个脑机接口(BMI),使他们能够测试老鼠是否可以激活海马活动来想象去一个地方)”可知,这项研究的目的是探索老鼠是否有想象的能力,故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Next, researchers disconnected the treadmill so that the rats could still see the virtual reality environment, but their running had no impact. By reproducing the brain activity they’d shown during the previous sessions, the rats could navigate to reward locations using just their thoughts.(接下来,研究人员断开了跑步机,这样老鼠仍然可以看到虚拟现实环境,但它们的跑步没有影响。通过重现它们在前几次实验中表现出的大脑活动,老鼠可以仅凭思想导航到奖励地点)”可知,断开跑步机后老鼠仍旧可以通过心理地图到达奖励地点,故选C。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段““Although it’s still unclear what the rat is experiencing while it’s traveling, the team has done a convincing job of showing rats can voluntarily reactivate mental maps of familiar places,” said Shayna, a cognitive neuroscientist.(认知神经科学家Shayna说:“虽然目前还不清楚老鼠在旅行时经历了什么,但研究小组已经做了一项令人信服的工作,证明老鼠可以自愿重新激活熟悉地点的心理地图。”)”可知,Shayna对这项新研究的态度是积极的,故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Because the BMI is increasingly used in prosthetics (假肢), this new work also opens up the possibility of designing novel prosthetic devices based on the same principles.(由于BMI在义肢中的应用越来越多,这项新工作也为基于相同原理设计新型义肢装置提供了可能性)”可知,本段强调了BMI的应用潜力,故选D。

【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述奥运会运动员在比赛之外面临很多问题和压力。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:奥林匹克运动员全身心地投入到训练中,挑战自己身体和精神极限,只为获得金牌的机会。devote oneself to…“致力于……”,故填to。
【37题详解】
考查一般过去时。句意:2022年,美国队赛艇运动员Kate Knifton了解了突然离开竞技体育的精神压力,当时她面临着几乎结束职业生涯的背部伤病。根据时间状语“in 2022”可知,此处使用一般过去时,故填understood。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:多伦多大学的一项研究发现,为2020年奥运会训练的41.4%的加拿大国家队运动员经历过饮食失调、焦虑和抑郁。空处引导定语从句,先行词是athletes,指人,关系词在从句中作主语,使用关系代词who或that引导,故填who/that。
【39题详解】

【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:成为一名奥运选手的兴奋和紧张感很快就会消失。Olympian是可数名词,此处表示泛指“一名奥运选手”,使用不定冠词修饰,且Olympian是以元音音素开头,故填an。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:如果运动员受伤了,需要恢复,这些问题可能会更有压力。have injuries和need recovery是并列顺承关系,使用连词and连接,故填and。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 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。
“You should go for it,” Artie said, giving my shoulder a squeeze as we stood gazing at the poster. ‘Cinderella — auditions (试镜) this Thursday after school,’ the words proclaimed.
“Me?” My voice came out as a frightened squeak. “Come on, Amy. You probably know the entire play off by heart. You are the best person for Cinderella.” he encouraged. I knew he was joking, but the truth was, I could tell you every single line (台词) in the play.
When we reached the hall on Thursday, I began to wish I hadn’t signed up to be Cinderella. It was easier to feel hopeful several days ago when my name was the only one on the sign-up sheet. Since then, seven other girls have added their own names to the list, including Sherry Anderson, the head cheerleader (拉拉队长).
Luckily, we were given a moment to practice before the auditions began. “Good,” Mr Cordoza said approvingly as he stopped by and listened to my practice. I felt a glimmer of hope. “Now let’s see how you get on performing on the stage in front of everyone.” He clapped his hands for attention, signaling the start of the auditions.
Sherry Anderson was up first. She showed great confidence as she tossed her long blonde hair and recited her lines. Although she lacked an understanding of the lines, her performance was attractive.
Then it was my turn. As I climbed the stairs to the stage, I tripped, nearly falling flat on my face. I felt my cheeks burning.
“When you’re ready,” Mr Cordoza said, sounding impatient.
“Sorry,” I mumbled. I tried to calm my breathing, but the nerves tightened in my throat. “I...I…” I stuttered. ‘Speak up Amy, can’t hear you!’ jeers and whistles came from the back of the hall. I could feel that my performance was a disaster. Even Sherry’s lines were better than mine. Finally, I limped to the end of the scene, and as soon as it was over, I rushed off the stage, feeling defeated.
As I made my way through the hallway, I spotted Artie waiting for me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150左右;
(2)请按如下格式作答。
He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角).
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】He told me that Sherry got the role of Cinderella but I would be the understudy (替角). At the news, I sighed and forced a smile. Sensing my disappointment, Artie put his hand on my shoulder and encouraged, “Seize the chance and you can shine too. Believe in yourself!” His words giving me a burst of confidence, I nodded admittedly, determined to be the best understudy. In the following days, I spent hours every day rehearsing my lines, perfecting my expressions and practicing each act. Gradually, I grew more confident and was fully prepared for the possibility of stepping onto the stage if needed.
On the day of the performance, Sherry got sick and couldn’t come. Panic filled the air backstage. Calm outside but nervous inside, I took a deep breath and stepped forward. All those days of hard work and preparation had led to this moment. As the curtains rose, I walked onto the stage with a newfound courage. The lights shone on me, and I delivered my lines with full of passion and confidence. With the music fading away, the audience broke into thunderous applause. At that very moment, I knew I fulfilled my mission as an understudy. That day, I became the star of the show, proving to myself and everyone that chances are for those who are prepared.
【解析】
【导语】文章以人物为线索展开,讲述了主人公艾米在朋友的鼓励下参加学校话剧《灰姑娘》试镜的经历。尽管艾米对台词非常熟悉,但在试镜当天,她感到非常紧张,甚至在上台时差点摔倒,表演时结结巴巴,感觉自己的表现非常糟糕。文章通过艾米的试镜经历,展现了她在面对挑战时的内心挣扎和不安,以及她最终未能克服紧张情绪,感到失落和挫败的心情。
【详解】1.段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“他告诉我Sherry得到了灰姑娘的角色,但我会是替补演员。”可知,第一段可描写Amy在Artie的鼓励下,努力练习,尽管是替补演员也努力做好表演的准备的过程。
②由第二段首句内容“演出的那天,Sherry生病了,不能来。”可知,第二段可描写Amy顺利完成表演的过程以及感悟。
2.续写线索:感到失望——Artie鼓励——努力排练——表演成功——感悟
