20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much!
4. Why is the 2028 Summer Olympic Games mentioned?
A. To describe what made Edgar famous.
B. To explain why Edgar loved Los Angeles.
C. To introduce what inspired Edgar to start his project.
D. To discuss why Edgar started exploring the national forest.
5. Which of the following can best describe Edgar?
A. Determined and caring.
B. Creative and influential.
C. Talented and productive.
D. Adventurous and sociable.
6. What is Edgar’s next plan?
A. Encouraging others to join in his cleanup.
B. Making a journey to clean Eaton Canyon.
C. Cleaning up other parts of the national forest.
D. Returning to the parks he has already cleaned.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. A hero for the environment. B. A way of dealing with litter.
C. A local development project. D. A huge personal achievement.
C
Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon. Nowadays, it’s normal for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly. Supporters of social media say it brings people closer together, and helps make friends, learn about different cultures, and celebrate events.
Yet, concerns arise over this lifestyle’s impact, especially regarding the quantity and nature of shared information. Studies reveal that overuse of social media could be harmful. Researchers observed individuals’moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt.
This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively events, and trendy outfits. Since negative experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their lives as inferior. Even those sharing the positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying makes things worse, with people being mean and hurtful in their comments.
Since social media is a big part of our lives now, it’s not going away. Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents. Understanding that what we see online is a fraction of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest.
8. What is the impact of inappropriate social media use according to the research?
A. It enhances online interactions. B. It increases overall happiness.
C. It can lead to unhappiness. D. It improves global connectivity.
9. Why might individuals feel stressed after posting the positive content on social media?
A. They are concerned others mislead their posts. B. They believe others lead happier lives.
C. They fear they may be cyber-bullied by others. D. They worry about quality of their posts.
10. How does the author develop the third paragraph of the article?
A. By providing examples. B. By listing causes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By describing process.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To encourage people to quit social media. B. To discuss the benefits of social media.
C. To highlight the negative effects of social media. D. To advocate balancing online and offline lives.
D
The Olympic Games, among the world’s most significant sports events, not only demonstrate the high level of athletic competition but also serve as a symbol of global cultural exchange and unity. However, they face an aging audience and declining viewership. The median age of American viewers was 39 in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, rising to 53 by the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The Tokyo 2021 viewership dropped by a third compared to 2008.
To attract younger audiences and stay relevant the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has acknowledged the need for the Olympics to evolve, adding “youth-based” sports. Climbing, skateboarding, and surfing were included in Tokyo, and breakdancing made its first appearance in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
To further broaden appeal, esports could be the key. With a massive following, esports could attract large audiences and add income through media rights and sponsorships. Esports could also bring Olympic glory to a diverse range of countries and represent the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect.
However, the IOC’s approach to esports has been cautious. The inaugural (首次的) Olympic Esports Week in Singapore in June 2023 was met with confusion among fans, with events like archery and “Just Dance” not reflecting as expected, attracting a peak viewership of only 22,000.
Recognizing esports’ potential, the IOC has officially included esports in the Olympic Movement with the Olympic Esports Games in Saudi Arabia in 2025. This decision is in line with the principles of the Olympic Agenda 2020+5, which advocates for gender equality, inclusiveness, and diversity. By embracing esports, the Olympics can attract younger audiences, expand its global reach, and maintain its status as a popular sports and entertainment event.
12. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about the Olympic Games?
A. The Olympic Games have always been popular among young viewers.
B. The IOC has not recognized the changing viewer trends.
C. The median age of Olympic viewers has remained stable over time.
D. The Olympic Games are becoming less popular in America.
13. How do the Olympics keep connected with society?
A. By focusing on traditional sports.
B. By adding sports that appeal to younger audiences.
C. By reducing the number of events in the Games.
D. By hosting the Games in countries with diverse cultures.
14. What was the public’s attitude toward the inaugural Olympic Esports Week?
A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Distinctions between traditional sports and esports.
B. Benefits of multicultural countries in esports.
C. Possible advantages of adding esports to the Olympics.
D. Suggestions on establishing a secure gaming setting for esports.

Mobile Phones in Education: A Double-Edged Sword
The widespread use of mobile phones has changed how we communicate daily, but their place in education is still a matter of debate.

Teachers think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool. They also teach about how to use phones properly, including how to be responsible with social media and the Internet. ___20___ In their eye, the technology has already existed, so schools should use it to help students and not fear it.

52. 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。
Jeff fixed his eyes on the scoring record, breathed deeply as he gazed upon the basketball court. Despite the gym’s age and modest size, it held a long history. “Maybe today is my chance to create some history,” Jeff whispered to himself. His basketball league was in a celebratory mood, with today’s championship game signifying the 50th anniversary (周年). Jeff read the anniversary brochure, which detailed the winners and leading scorers from each championship game. He paused suddenly upon spotting the top scorer’s name from a game that took place 30 years ago. His eyes widened in astonishment as he called out to his teammate David, brandishing (挥舞) the brochure. “Look who holds the all-time record! It’s my dad! He never mentioned this to me.” “Twenty-four points,” David remarked. “That’s awesome!” Jeff, the Badgers’ leading scorer with a personal best of 19 points, was amazed. “My dad never showed off something like that,” Jeff commented.
When Jeff’s parents arrived, he showed them the brochure. His dad chuckled (咯咯笑). “It’s true that I didn’t miss a shot in that game, but look at the score. I would have traded every shot for a win,” he sighed with a regret look on his face. Jeff had failed to notice that his dad’s team had lost by a single point. “I had a great group of teammates back then,” his dad added. “You have a great team in the Badgers too.” As Jeff prepared for the game, his father’s words were still echoing in his mind. “This will be a struggle every second,” the coach had emphasized before they took to the court. “I expect to see your tough defense, sharp passing, and, most important, smart play as a team.” Jeff was confident in his ability to lead the Badgers to victory, just as he had in previous games against the Lions. By the end of the game, Jeff had scored 23 points, playing with exceptional determination. Another basket would break his father’s scoring record.
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。
However, the Badgers was now one point behind the Lions.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With no defenders around, David caught the ball, turned and shot at the basket.

20-year-old Edgar McGregor decided to visit his local park, Eaton Canyon, day in and day out to pick up as much litter as he could fit in two buckets (提桶). Now, over 589 days and 19,000 Twitter followers later, he is more passionate (热爱的) than ever about his task to save the planet!
Edgar found out that Los Angeles would be the host of the 2028 Summer Olympic Games. Knowing the state of the national forest at the time, he feared that its grounds that were full of litter would make the city a “global embarrassment,” so he decided to make cleaning it up his new passion project.
As time went on, he began documenting his progress on Twitter. Soon, he began encouraging others to start park cleanup projects of their own.
As part of southern California’s Angeles National Forest, Eaton Canyon can see quite a bit of daily foot traffic. On one particularly busy day, Edgar spent five hours picking up litter and came away with over 1,000 pounds of rubbish. Rain or shine, Edgar headed over to carry out his task. He worked through conditions like snowstorms, a record heat wave, and even a forest fire on the opposite side of the park.
The more he did, the more treasures he discovered. In addition to a lot of old iPhones and cans, Edgar collected enough recyclables to earn around 30 dollars every few weeks, which he would donate to nonprofits.
Recently, Edgar began noticing that the top-littered areas in his park were becoming few and far between. At one point, he spent four hours moving around the park and only returned with two buckets. Edgar plans to return to Eaton Canyon two or three times a week to keep up with the maintenance, but he is excited to start expanding his reach to new locations. Though he realizes this doesn’t mean his journey is complete, he is excited to have already achieved so much!

Twenty years ago, the idea of sharing personal information publicly was uncommon. Nowadays, it’s normal for young people to post updates about their lives and interact on the Internet regularly. Supporters of social media say it brings people closer together, and helps make friends, learn about different cultures, and celebrate events.
Yet, concerns arise over this lifestyle’s impact, especially regarding the quantity and nature of shared information. Studies reveal that overuse of social media could be harmful. Researchers observed individuals’moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt.
This outcome has several reasons. Social media often features idealized content like beautiful vacations, lively events, and trendy outfits. Since negative experiences or unappealing images are rarely shared, it creates a false reality. Comparing these highlights to one’s own life can contribute to depression, as people may perceive their lives as inferior. Even those sharing the positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying makes things worse, with people being mean and hurtful in their comments.
Since social media is a big part of our lives now, it’s not going away. Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents. Understanding that what we see online is a fraction of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest.
8. What is the impact of inappropriate social media use according to the research?
A. It enhances online interactions. B. It increases overall happiness.
C. It can lead to unhappiness. D. It improves global connectivity.
9. Why might individuals feel stressed after posting the positive content on social media?
A. They are concerned others mislead their posts. B. They believe others lead happier lives.
C. They fear they may be cyber-bullied by others. D. They worry about quality of their posts.
10. How does the author develop the third paragraph of the article?
A. By providing examples. B. By listing causes.
C. By making comparisons. D. By describing process.
11. What is the author’s main purpose in writing the article?
A. To encourage people to quit social media. B. To discuss the benefits of social media.
C. To highlight the negative effects of social media. D. To advocate balancing online and offline lives.
【答案】8. C 9. C 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了社交媒体的流行以及对人们生活的影响,并提醒人们用正确的心态去对待社交媒体所展示的内容。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Researchers observed individuals’ moods before and after platform interactions and found that the more time people spent on social media, the more unhappy they felt. (研究者观察了人们在社交媒体互动前后的情绪,并发现人们在社交媒体上花费的时间越长,他们就越感到不快乐) ”可知,过度使用社交媒体会导致人们感到更加不快乐。故选C。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Even those sharing positive content can get worried and stressed about how many likes and comments they get, and whether they are popular enough. Online bullying makes things worse, with people being mean and hurtful in their comments. (即便是那些分享积极内容的人也会担心和焦虑自己能得到多少点赞和评论,以及他们是否足够受欢迎。网络欺凌让情况变得更糟,有些人在评论中表现出刻薄和伤人的态度)”可知,发布积极内容的人们也会害怕遭遇其他人的网络欺凌。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容及段首的“This outcome has several reasons.(这个结果有多个原因)”可知,本段中作者列举了导致社交媒体使用后感到不快乐的几个原因,如理想化的内容、负面体验的缺失、比较导致的抑郁等,即作者是通过给出原因来展开第三段的。故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Research emphasizes finding a balance between our digital and physical existence. It’s not necessary to cut off from the online world to be happy, but it’s important to be aware of the selective image that the online world presents. Understanding that what we see online is a fraction of the complete story allows us to safeguard our mental health and enjoy life to the fullest. (研究强调了在数字世界和现实世界之间找到平衡的重要性。我们不必完全与网络世界断开联系就能感到幸福,但认识到网络世界呈现的是有选择性的画面至关重要。理解我们在网上看到的内容只是完整故事的一部分,这有助于我们保护心理健康并充分享受生活) ”可知,作者写这篇文章是为了提倡平衡线上和线下生活,这是很重要的。故选D。

The Olympic Games, among the world’s most significant sports events, not only demonstrate the high level of athletic competition but also serve as a symbol of global cultural exchange and unity. However, they face an aging audience and declining viewership. The median age of American viewers was 39 in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, rising to 53 by the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. The Tokyo 2021 viewership dropped by a third compared to 2008.
To attract younger audiences and stay relevant, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Thomas Bach has acknowledged the need for the Olympics to evolve, adding “youth-based” sports. Climbing, skateboarding, and surfing were included in Tokyo, and breakdancing made its first appearance in the 2024 Paris Olympics.
To further broaden appeal, esports could be the key. With a massive following, esports could attract large audiences and add income through media rights and sponsorships. Esports could also bring Olympic glory to a diverse range of countries and represent the Olympic values of excellence, friendship, and respect.
However, the IOC’s approach to esports has been cautious. The inaugural (首次的) Olympic Esports Week in Singapore in June 2023 was met with confusion among fans, with events like archery and “Just Dance” not reflecting as expected, attracting a peak viewership of only 22,000.
Recognizing esports’ potential, the IOC has officially included esports in the Olympic Movement with the Olympic Esports Games in Saudi Arabia in 2025. This decision is in line with the principles of the Olympic Agenda 2020+5, which advocates for gender equality, inclusiveness, and diversity. By embracing esports, the Olympics can attract younger audiences, expand its global reach, and maintain its status as a popular sports and entertainment event.
12. What can be inferred from the first paragraph about the Olympic Games?
A. The Olympic Games have always been popular among young viewers.
B. The IOC has not recognized the changing viewer trends.
C. The median age of Olympic viewers has remained stable over time.
D. The Olympic Games are becoming less popular in America.
13 How do the Olympics keep connected with society?
A. By focusing on traditional sports.
B. By adding sports that appeal to younger audiences.
C. By reducing the number of events in the Games.
D. By hosting the Games in countries with diverse cultures.
14. What was the public’s attitude toward the inaugural Olympic Esports Week?
A. Tolerant. B. Unclear. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
15. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Distinctions between traditional sports and esports.
B. Benefits of multicultural countries in esports.
C. Possible advantages of adding esports to the Olympics.
D. Suggestions on establishing a secure gaming setting for esports.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. C

___19___ The teachers in these schools believe that students have grown up with mobile phones. Teachers think it’s their job to teach students how to use mobile phones the right way as a learning tool.

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了南京高中的学生在一家养老院做志愿活动的经历和学生们的感受。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:上周末,南京高中的学生在当地一家养老院做志愿者,给老人们带来了欢乐,也让他们的一天变得更加愉快。这里泛指当地的一家养老院,且local的发音以辅音音素开头,所以用不定冠词a。故填a。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这家养老院位于一个住宅区,有150多名老年人,其中一些人已经90多岁了。本句的谓语是has,所以空处应用非谓语动词。The nursing home和locate之间是动宾关系,所以用过去分词作后置定语。故填located。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意参考上题。这里是“介词+关系词”引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是指人的more than 150 senior citizens,所以用whom引导。故填whom。
【39题详解】
考查时态。句意:虽然这是许多学生第一次参加这样的志愿者项目,但他们渴望与居民分享各种有趣的话题,比如如何使用手机和上网。It was the first time (that)...意为“这是第一次……”,为固定句型,从句应用过去完成时。故填had taken。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意参考上题。be eager to do sth.意为“渴望做某事”。故填to share。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:午餐后,居民和年轻志愿者们通过包括国画和书法在内的艺术活动来娱乐自己。主语和宾语都是指the residents and the young volunteers,所以用反身代词themselves。故填themselves。
【42题详解】
考查名词。句意:他们非常喜欢彼此的陪伴,16岁的苏明说,他希望定期回到养老院,与和他交朋友的老年人共度时光。空前有“each other’s”,空处应用名词。company意为“陪伴”,为不可数名词。故填company。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意参考上题。make friends with意为“和……交朋友”。故填with。
【44题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:我担心学生和老年居民相处不好,但事实恰恰相反。I和concern(让……担忧)之间是被动关系,且根据“wouldn’t get along”和“turned out”可知,这里指过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态。故填was concerned。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意参考上题。“I ___9___(concern) that the students and the senior residents wouldn’t get along easily”和“it turned out to be the exact opposite”前后之间是转折关系,应用but或yet。故填but/yet。
第三节 (共5小题;每小题1分,满分5分)
请按照课文原文内容填空
46. As Coubertin believed, “With the Olympic Games, each generation celebrates its advent, its joy of living, its ________ in the future, its ambition and its will to ascend.” (根据句意单词拼写)
【答案】faith
【解析】
【详解】考查名词。句意:正如顾拜旦所相信的那样:“每一代人都在庆祝奥运会的到来,庆祝生活的快乐,庆祝对未来的信念,庆祝雄心壮志和向上的意志。”根据句意以及前文形容词性物主代词“its”和后文“in the future”可知,空处需要一个名词来表示对未来的态度,可用不可数名词faith“信念”和前后文并列,作宾语。故填faith。
47. Given his personal experiences and the ________, it is only natural to see that the majority of Li Bai’s poems are characterized by the romantic style. (根据句意填空)
【答案】historical background
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词和名词。句意:鉴于他的个人经历和历史背景,李白的诗歌大多具有浪漫主义风格,这是很自然的。根据句意和空前“his personal experiences”可知,空处缺少一个名词短语来与“his personal experiences”搭配,来补充说明影响李白诗歌风格的因素,可用historical background“历史背景”,强调时代和社会环境对李白创作的影响,与 “personal experiences” 并列作宾语,共同说明影响李白诗歌风格的因素。故填historical background。
48. My heart ________ in my chest as I found a shady place to rest my tired body. (根据句意填空)
【答案】was beating rapidly
【解析】
【详解】考查动词及时态。句意:当我找到一个阴凉的地方休息我疲惫的身体时,我的心在我的胸口快速跳动。根据后文“I found a shady place to rest my tired body”可知,作者在寻找休息的地方时,心情可能是紧张或兴奋的,因此心跳加快,可用beat rapidly“快速跳动”,空处为句子的谓语部分,根据从句谓语动词found可知,句子陈述过去发生的事情,结合句意表示在作者找到阴凉地方休息之前,心脏正在快速跳动,应使用过去进行时态,主语My heart为第三人称单数,be动词用was。故填was beating rapidly。
49. In the future, advertising will be even more about understanding individual customers and sending them advertisements that ________ specific needs. (根据句意填空)
【答案】are tailored to
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语和时态语态。句意:未来,广告将更多地关注理解个体客户,并向他们发送量身定制以满足特定需求的广告。空处位于关系代词that引导的定语从句中,对先行词advertisements进行修饰,结合句意可知,在该从句中,空处表示“为……量身定做”应为动词短语be tailored to,表示广告的特性用一般现在时,关系词that指代先行词advertisements在从句中作主语,为复数,be动词用are。故填are tailored to。
50. The fire, which is thought to have started from the 8th floor, spread quickly through the tower block on Sunday night, ________. (根据句意填空)
【答案】leaving people on the upper floors trapped
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词和短语。句意:据认为火灾始于8楼,周日晚上迅速蔓延至整个塔楼,导致上层的人被困。根据句意及空前“spread quickly through the tower block”可知,空处可表示火灾迅速蔓延的结果是上层的人被困,可用leave people on the upper floors trapped“导致上层的人被困”,其中运用了“leave+宾语+宾语补足语”的结构,其中宾语为people on the upper floors“上层的人”,宾补trap“使陷入困境”与宾语为被动关系,故用过去分词作宾补;句子已有谓语动词spread,空处应用现在分词短语,表示火灾迅速蔓延的结果。故填leaving people on the upper floors trapped。

第二节 (满分25分)
52. 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。
Jeff fixed his eyes on the scoring record, breathed deeply as he gazed upon the basketball court. Despite the gym’s age and modest size, it held a long history. “Maybe today is my chance to create some history,” Jeff whispered to himself. His basketball league was in a celebratory mood, with today’s championship game signifying the 50th anniversary (周年). Jeff read the anniversary brochure, which detailed the winners and leading scorers from each championship game. He paused suddenly upon spotting the top scorer’s name from a game that took place 30 years ago. His eyes widened in astonishment as he called out to his teammate David, brandishing (挥舞) the brochure. “Look who holds the all-time record! It’s my dad! He never mentioned this to me.” “Twenty-four points,” David remarked. “That’s awesome!” Jeff, the Badgers’ leading scorer with a personal best of 19 points, was amazed. “My dad never showed off something like that,” Jeff commented.
When Jeff’s parents arrived, he showed them the brochure. His dad chuckled (咯咯笑). “It’s true that I didn’t miss a shot in that game, but look at the score. I would have traded every shot for a win,” he sighed with a regret look on his face. Jeff had failed to notice that his dad’s team had lost by a single point. “I had a great group of teammates back then,” his dad added. “You have a great team in the Badgers too.” As Jeff prepared for the game, his father’s words were still echoing in his mind. “This will be a struggle every second,” the coach had emphasized before they took to the court. “I expect to see your tough defense, sharp passing, and, most important, smart play as a team.” Jeff was confident in his ability to lead the Badgers to victory, just as he had in previous games against the Lions. By the end of the game, Jeff had scored 23 points, playing with exceptional determination. Another basket would break his father’s scoring record.
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。
However, the Badgers was now one point behind the Lions.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
With no defenders around, David caught the ball, turned and shot at the basket.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
However, the Badgers was now one point behind the Lions. The pressure mounted as the final seconds ticked away on the game clock. Jeff got the ball and he could feel the weight of his father’s glory on his shoulder. And here came the final attack of the Badgers. Knowing what the Badgers’ top scorer was capable of, the Lions tried to defend the lead by surrounding Jeff. With the ball in his possession, Jeff saw David, positioned perfectly for a shot. In a split-second decision, Jeff selflessly passed the ball to his teammate, trusting in David’s ability to make the crucial play.
With no defenders around, David caught the ball, turned and shot at the basket. The ball sailed through the air, tracing a beautiful curve before eventually swishing through the net. The gym erupted into cheers as the referee blew the whistle, signaling the end of the game. Jeff’s heart raced as he realized what had just happened. With that basket, his team secured the victory, but personally, he failed to achieve his goal of breaking his father’s scoring record. However, as he glanced at his father’s approving gaze from the sidelines, Jeff felt a profound sense of accomplishment. In that moment, he understood that while individual achievements are noteworthy, the true essence of victory lies in “playing as a team”.
