At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what better than the marathon. Back then, the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people. Besides, I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon. On the way from England to Dublin, I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin. I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves, but I found it hard. The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds. My limited memories from that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel (隧道) of people as the crowds lined beside the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what’s important, the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. Eventually, I didn’t get the prize, but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself. After my first marathon, I started a website based on my love for running. Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home. Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals. They’re part of a global team and a global community. 24. Why did the author take part in his first marathon? A. To show his talent for running. B. To win a prize in a longer distance race. C. To attract the public’s attention to running. D To express his preference for 400-meter running. 25. What impressed the author deeply during his first marathon? A. He hit the wall and tried to struggle through. B. He ran through a tunnel with other racers. C. He nearly got lost due to the cloudy weather. D. He received lots of encouragement from the crowds. 26. What can we know about the author’s website? A. It aims to help unite running lovers. B. It has attracted large numbers of participants. C. It attaches great importance to community spirit. D. It was set up mainly for experienced marathoners. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A Good Marathon Runner B. My Unforgettable First Marathon C. Starting a Website for Runners D. Being Brave to Challenge Ourselves 【答案】24. A 25. D 26. A 27. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者第一次参加马拉松比赛的经历。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what better than the marathon. (当时，我在高中时是一名优秀的400米跑者，但我的脑海中却有一个想法，那就是我应该尝试更长的距离来证明我真的很擅长跑步——还有什么比马拉松更好的)”可知，作者认为参加马拉松比赛是一个证明自己拥有跑步天赋的好机会。故选A项。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段第一二句“The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds. My limited memories from that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel (隧道) of people as the crowds lined beside the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what’s important, the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. (比赛日有点多云，但人们的温暖驱散了云层。我对第一场比赛的记忆还很有限：当人群在街道旁排队时，我会有一种穿过人群隧道的感觉；当一名爱尔兰人赢得比赛的消息传来时，人群中的欢呼声；重要的是，当我撞到墙上并试图挣扎通过时，人群为我欢呼，令人难以置信)”可知，观众对作者的热情鼓励让他印象深刻。故选D项。 26题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第二句“Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home. (无论你是一位经验丰富的马拉松选手还是一位感兴趣的路人，我都邀请你加入这个网站，让它成为你的家)”可知，作者建网站旨在给对跑步感兴趣的人一个联系的平台，即团结跑步爱好者。故选A项。 【27题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段第一句“At 18, I competed in my first marathon in Dublin, Ireland. (18岁时，我在爱尔兰都柏林参加了我的第一场马拉松比赛)”可知，本文主要讲述了作者第一次参加马拉松比赛的故事，以及随后建立跑步者网站的故事。故选B项。 C New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic. The new approaches include genetically modifying bacteria to eat wood and produce useful chemicals. But the bio-plastics are currently significantly more expensive to make than fossil fuel-based plastics. Land and seas around the world, from high mountains to deep oceans, have become polluted with plastic, prompting major public concern. The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising. While some waste plastic is recycled, much of it is burnt to produce electricity, resulting in carbon emissions that drive climate change. In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew. Bio-plastics will also give more options for products that biodegrade (生物降解) in the environment, although they can be made very long-lasting if required. “Plastics are an incredible enhancement to our daily lives,” said Paul Mines, CEO of Biome Technologies in the UK, which has spent t5m in the last five years on bio-plastics research. “But we can’t go on using fossil fuel-based materials. About 6-7% of every barrel (桶) of oil is used to make plastics.” “Using plant materials is feasible,” said professor Simon, at the University of York. “Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said. Currently, just a few thousand tons of bio-plastic are used in the UK each year, compared to millions of tons of conventional plastic. Mines said this could rise to about 20,000 tons in the next five years. 28. Why are high mountains and deep oceans mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To display the range of plastic pollution. B. To show the widespread use of plastic. C. To present a reason of wide use of plastic. D. To stress the increasing demand for plastic. 29. What is one advantage of bio-plastics over fossil fuel-based plastics? A. Producing electricity. B. Being eco-friendly. C. Driving climate change. D. Biodegrading other plastic. 30. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Possible. B. Troublesome. C. Original. D. Costly. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Plastics arc necessary in daily life. B. Oil is the source of the world’s plastic. C. Bioplastic making is a promising industry. D. Scientists are researching bioplastic making. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. A 31. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。实验室正在用稻草、木屑和食物垃圾制造新型生物塑料，研究人员的目标是取代石油成为世界塑料的来源。文章主要介绍了研究者们正在研究生物塑料。 【28题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising.(自上世纪50年代以来，全球已经生产了80亿吨塑料，而且需求仍在上升)”可知，塑料污染范围很广，因此第三段提到高山和深海是为了展示塑料污染的范围之大。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段第二句“In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew.(与由石油制成的塑料不同，由植物性材料制成的塑料只释放植物在生长过程中从空气中吸收的碳)”可知，与化石燃料塑料相比，生物塑料的一个优势是它排放的碳更少，即更环保。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第六段第二句““Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said.(他说“只需使用3%的甜菜作物、5%的麦秸或2.5%的食物垃圾，就可以替换全国一半的塑料瓶。”)”可知，利用植物材料是可行的。故画线词意思是“可能的”。故选A。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic.(实验室正在用稻草、木屑和食物垃圾制造新型生物塑料，研究人员的目标是取代石油成为世界塑料的来源)”并结合全文可知，文章主要介绍了研究者们正在研究生物塑料。故选D。 D European researchers say they have created a process (制作法) that can produce oxygen (氧气) from moon dust (尘埃) . The process could provide oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency, or ESA, carried out the experiments at a lab in the Netherlands. The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated (模拟的) moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, a top layer of dirt and rock pieces that sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith returned from the moon have proved that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easy to use. Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing. The oxygen extraction (提取) process is carried out using a method called molten salt electrolysis (熔盐电解). This includes first placing the regolith in a metal container. Calcium chloride (氯化钙) salt is added to the mixture, which is then heated to 950 degrees Celsius. Next, an electrical current is passed through the material. The researchers say it is this step that results in oxygen being extracted from the regolith. The study reported that up to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted during the experiments. ESA’s long- term goal is to design an oxygen- producing “pilot plant” to operate full- time on the moon. Beth Lomax, a lead researcher on the project, said, “Being able to get oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future moon settlers, both for breathing and the local production of rocket fuel.” The researchers reported that “as an unexpected discovery”, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. ESA and the US space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2034 with the aim of keeping humans on the moon for long periods. 32. Why is oxygen from moon dust difficult to use? A. It is impossible for human beings to get moon dust. B. It is chemically fixed in the form of minerals or glass. C. The conditions of moon dust are terrible. D. There exists only a little of it. 33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. What molten salt electrolysis is. B. Where the value of the study lies. C. How oxygen is extracted from moon dust. D. What is necessary in the oxygen extraction process. 34. What is Beth Lomax’s attitude to the possibility of getting oxygen from moon dust? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Fearful. D. Uninterested. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Recent Studies of Moon Dust by Researchers. B. How Researchers Extracted Oxygen from Moon Dust. C. Potential Importance of Oxygen Extracted from Moon Dust. D. Researchers Report Extracting Oxygen from Moon Dust Successfully. 【答案】32. B 33. C 34. A 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了欧洲研究人员成功从月尘中提取氧气，这一成果对未来月球探索活动有重要意义。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easy to use.(然而，氧气是以矿物或玻璃的形式化学锁定的，因此不容易使用。)”可知，月尘中的氧气之所以难以使用，是因为它以矿物或玻璃的形式化学固定。故选B项。 【33题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第三段第一句“The oxygen extraction process is carried out using a method called molten salt electrolysis.(氧气提取过程是使用一种称为熔盐电解的方法进行的。)”可知，这句话引出了第三段的主题，即氧气提取过程，接着该段详细描述了如何从月尘中提取氧气，包括放置月尘、添加氯化钙盐、加热以及通电等步骤，所以第三段的主要内容是讲述如何从月尘中提取氧气。故选C项。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Being able to get oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future moon settlers, both for breathing and the local production of rocket fuel.(能够从月球上发现的资源中获取氧气显然对未来的月球定居者非常有用，无论是呼吸还是火箭燃料的本地生产)”可知，Beth Lomax对于能够从月球尘埃中获取氧气的可能性持积极态度。故选A项。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。文章首段提到“European researchers say they have created a process that can produce oxygen from moon dust.(欧洲研究人员说，他们已经创造了一种可以从月尘中生产氧气的方法。)”，然后下文详细讲述了这一研究过程以及这一研究的意义，由此可知，文章主要报道了研究人员成功从月尘中提取氧气这一成果，所以选项D“研究人员报告成功从月尘中提取氧气”可以作为本文的最佳标题。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people lead busy lives and think they barely have time to work out every day. ____36____ They are short workouts that often involve high-intensity(高强度的)exercises. Here we explore some reasons to do micro workouts. Require Less of a Time Commitment Committing to exercising for a certain amount of time per week can be difficult, especially when you do not have the time or motivation to work out for an extended period. Microworkouts are good alternatives. They take up only 10 to 30 minutes of your day. Many people spend much longer scrolling through social media each day. ____37____ Make Scheduling Workouts Easier It can be challenging to commit the time needed to exercise every day,but it can also be hard to fit a workout into a tight schedule. However, a study suggests that it may be possible. ____38____ For example, walking your dog, using the stairs, parking farther away from a destination, or walking during your lunch break are all ways you can try. Need No Equipment Investing in expensive home gym equipment can be a real burden. When you decide to do micro workouts, though, you don’t need a bunch of equipment. ____39____ For example, you may choose to do steps on your stairs, run on the spot, or even do some star jumps. Since you can choose what type of workout you’d prefer to do, it means that you can exercise whenever you please. ____40____ Now that you know all about micro workouts, you can add them to your day. Get as creative as you please and think about the types of movements that suit you. You never know-it might just boost your health and wellness. A. Ready to get moving? B. You just fit it into your routine. C. Fitness should be simple and convenient. D. So it should be a relatively easy time commitment. E. If you feel this way, you may be interested in micro workouts. F. Can micro workouts give the same benefits as longer workout sessions? G. Instead,you can use things around your home to empower your workout. 【答案】36. E 37. D 38. B 39. G 40. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了微锻炼的一些相关知识。 【36题详解】 上文“Many people lead busy lives and think they barely have time to work out every day.(许多人过着忙碌的生活，认为自己每天几乎没有时间锻炼。)”提到了没时间锻炼这一问题，下文“They are short workouts that often involve high-intensity(高强度的)exercises.(它们是短时间的锻炼，通常包括高强度的锻炼。)”提到了短时间锻炼，选项E中上半句If you feel this way承接上文内，下半句中micro workouts是关键词，引起下文内容，所以E选项“如果你有这种感觉，你可能会对微锻炼感兴趣。”承上启下，符合题意。故选E项。 【37题详解】 上文“Microworkouts are good alternatives.

Suddenly thrown into a world of darkness. I was troubled by frustration and self-pity. Depression consumed me and I was frightened to try anything challenging. Imagine my surprise when my teacher asked me to enter a speaking contest. I rejected it out of hand. Among so many students, why did she pick me? I was an average student. blind and plain-looking. Anyhow. she insisted that I go for it. Her reply:“Because I believe you can deliver a good speech. You are more capable than you imagine!” Encouraged by her words,1agreed to give it a shot I decided on a fictional mole (鼹鼠) as my topic. It was a cute creature with poor eyesight mostly living underground, digging holes and helping get rid of pests. Not a brilliant idea, but unique; and undoubtedly a relatable tale. What did the mole think, as he fought his way in the darkness? Would he get scared? Have second thoughts? Want to quit? It struck a chord immediately. I got exhausted from preparing the speech. I had doubts about my choice. I wanted to escape from reality. But, like the blind mole. I kept it up. I doubled my efforts. I checked out books from the school library. I referred to some great speeches. I turned to my father for guidance. A week before the competition, I presented my speech to my teacher. She smiled, saying “Good. Now, polish your writing and practice your delivery.” I couldn’t remember how many times I made adjustments to my writing. Nor could I recall how I practiced it over and over again, with mixed feelings. “Could my message get across to the audience?” “How would they react?” Tons of questions crowded into my mind. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The big day finally arrived _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went up to my teacher after the award ceremony. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The big day finally arrived.

Blind as I was, I managed to interact with my audience with proper gestures and tones, whose applause lingered around the hall. “Your story is well-organized, creative and inspiring,” a judge commented. I went up to my teacher after the award ceremony. At the sight of me, she exclaimed in delight, “Congratulations! You are amazing!” Overwhelmed with excitement, I threw myself into her arms. “Thank you!

At that time, I was an excellent 400-meter runner at high school, but got it into my head that I should try the longer distance to prove that I was really good at running — and what better than the marathon. Back then, the running craze hadn’t quite heated up to the point it has today and running a marathon was unknown to most people. Besides, I never knew anyone who had actually run a marathon. On the way from England to Dublin, I was wondering what I was getting myself in two days later when the race would begin. I tried to get some sleep to ease my nerves, but I found it hard. The race day was somewhat cloudy, but the warmth of the people forced away the clouds. My limited memories from that first race remain: the feeling of running through a tunnel (隧道) of people as the crowds lined beside the streets; the cheers from the crowds as the news came that an Irishman had won the race; what’s important, the unbelievable kindness of the crowds cheering me on as I hit the wall and tried to struggle through. Eventually, I didn’t get the prize, but I never gave up and regarded it as a success because I challenged myself. After my first marathon, I started a website based on my love for running. Whether you’re an experienced marathoner or just an interested passer-by, I invite you to participate in the website and make it your home. Runners and particularly marathoners seem to share common ideals. They’re part of a global team and a global community. 24. Why did the author take part in his first marathon? A. To show his talent for running. B. To win a prize in a longer distance race. C. To attract the public’s attention to running. D. To express his preference for 400-meter running. 25. What impressed the author deeply during his first marathon? A. He hit the wall and tried to struggle through. B. He ran through a tunnel with other racers. C. He nearly got lost due to the cloudy weather. D. He received lots of encouragement from the crowds. 26. What can we know about the author’s website? A. It aims to help unite running lovers. B. It has attracted large numbers of participants. C. It attaches great importance to community spirit. D. It was set up mainly for experienced marathoners. 27. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text? A. A Good Marathon Runner B. My Unforgettable First Marathon C. Starting a Website for Runners D. Being Brave to Challenge Ourselves C New bio-plastics are being made in laboratories from straw, wood chips and food waste, with researchers aiming to replace oil as the source of the world’s plastic. The new approaches include genetically modifying bacteria to eat wood and produce useful chemicals. But the bio-plastics are currently significantly more expensive to make than fossil fuel-based plastics. Land and seas around the world, from high mountains to deep oceans, have become polluted with plastic, prompting major public concern. The world has produced 8bn tons of plastic since the 1950s and demand is still rising. While some waste plastic is recycled, much of it is burnt to produce electricity, resulting in carbon emissions that drive climate change. In contrast to plastic made from oil, plastics made from plant-based materials only release the carbon the plants absorbed from the air as they grew. Bio-plastics will also give more options for products that biodegrade (生物降解) in the environment, although they can be made very long-lasting if required. “Plastics are an incredible enhancement to our daily lives,” said Paul Mines, CEO of Biome Technologies in the UK, which has spent t5m in the last five years on bio-plastics research. “But we can’t go on using fossil fuel-based materials. About 6-7% of every barrel (桶) of oil is used to make plastics.” “Using plant materials is feasible,” said professor Simon, at the University of York. “Replacing half of the nation’s plastic bottles could be done using just 3% of the sugar beet crop, 5% of wheat straw or 2.5% of food waste,” he said. Currently, just a few thousand tons of bio-plastic are used in the UK each year, compared to millions of tons of conventional plastic. Mines said this could rise to about 20,000 tons in the next five years. 28. Why are high mountains and deep oceans mentioned in Paragraph 3? A. To display the range of plastic pollution. B. To show the widespread use of plastic. C. To present a reason of wide use of plastic. D. To stress the increasing demand for plastic. 29. What is one advantage of bio-plastics over fossil fuel-based plastics? A. Producing electricity. B. Being eco-friendly. C. Driving climate change. D. Biodegrading other plastic. 30. What does the underlined word “feasible” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Possible. B. Troublesome. C. Original. D. Costly. 31. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Plastics arc necessary in daily life. B. Oil is the source of the world’s plastic. C. Bioplastic making is a promising industry. D. Scientists are researching bioplastic making. D European researchers say they have created a process (制作法) that can produce oxygen (氧气) from moon dust (尘埃) . The process could provide oxygen for humans taking part in moon exploration activities in the future. Researchers from the European Space Agency, or ESA, carried out the experiments at a lab in the Netherlands. The team says ESA’s experimental “plant” was able to successfully produce oxygen from simulated (模拟的) moon dust. The dust is part of a material known as regolith, a top layer of dirt and rock pieces that sit on the surface of the moon. Samples of regolith returned from the moon have proved that the material contains about 45 percent oxygen by weight. However, the oxygen is chemically locked in the form of minerals or glass, so it is not easy to use. Having real samples of regolith from the moon made it possible for the researchers to create the simulated moon dust material used during testing. The oxygen extraction (提取) process is carried out using a method called molten salt electrolysis (熔盐电解). This includes first placing the regolith in a metal container. Calcium chloride (氯化钙) salt is added to the mixture, which is then heated to 950 degrees Celsius. Next, an electrical current is passed through the material. The researchers say it is this step that results in oxygen being extracted from the regolith. The study reported that up to 96 percent of oxygen in the simulated moon dust was extracted during the experiments. ESA’s long- term goal is to design an oxygen- producing “pilot plant” to operate full- time on the moon. Beth Lomax, a lead researcher on the project, said, “Being able to get oxygen from resources found on the moon would obviously be hugely useful for future moon settlers, both for breathing and the local production of rocket fuel.” The researchers reported that “as an unexpected discovery”, the process also results in the production of usable metallic materials. ESA and the US space agency NASA are both working on plans to return human beings to the moon. NASA has set a goal for 2034 with the aim of keeping humans on the moon for long periods. 32. Why is oxygen from moon dust difficult to use? A. It is impossible for human beings to get moon dust. B. It is chemically fixed in the form of minerals or glass. C. The conditions of moon dust are terrible. D. There exists only a little of it. 33. What is the main idea of the third paragraph? A. What molten salt electrolysis is. B. Where the value of the study lies. C. How oxygen is extracted from moon dust. D. What is necessary in the oxygen extraction process. 34. What is Beth Lomax’s attitude to the possibility of getting oxygen from moon dust? A. Positive. B. Doubtful. C. Fearful. D. Uninterested. 35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Recent Studies of Moon Dust by Researchers. B. How Researchers Extracted Oxygen from Moon Dust. C. Potential Importance of Oxygen Extracted from Moon Dust. D. Researchers Report Extracting Oxygen from Moon Dust Successfully. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能够填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Many people lead busy lives and think they barely have time to work out every day. ____36____ They are short workouts that often involve high-intensity(高强度的)exercises. Here we explore some reasons to do micro workouts. Require Less of a Time Commitment Committing to exercising for a certain amount of time per week can be difficult, especially when you do not have the time or motivation to work out for an extended period. Microworkouts are good alternatives. They take up only 10 to 30 minutes of your day. Many people spend much longer scrolling through social media each day. ____37____ Make Scheduling Workouts Easier It can be challenging to commit the time needed to exercise every day,but it can also be hard to fit a workout into a tight schedule. However, a study suggests that it may be possible. ____38____ For example, walking your dog, using the stairs, parking farther away from a destination, or walking during your lunch break are all ways you can try. Need No Equipment Investing in expensive home gym equipment can be a real burden. When you decide to do micro workouts, though, you don’t need a bunch of equipment. ____39____ For example, you may choose to do steps on your stairs, run on the spot, or even do some star jumps. Since you can choose what type of workout you’d prefer to do, it means that you can exercise whenever you please. ____40____ Now that you know all about micro workouts, you can add them to your day. Get as creative as you please and think about the types of movements that suit you. You never know-it might just boost your health and wellness. A. Ready to get moving? B. You just fit it into your routine. C. Fitness should be simple and convenient. D. So it should be a relatively easy time commitment. E. If you feel this way, you may be interested in micro workouts.

Suddenly thrown into a world of darkness. I was troubled by frustration and self-pity. Depression consumed me and I was frightened to try anything challenging. Imagine my surprise when my teacher asked me to enter a speaking contest. I rejected it out of hand. Among so many students, why did she pick me? I was an average student. blind and plain-looking. Anyhow. she insisted that I go for it. Her reply:“Because I believe you can deliver a good speech. You are more capable than you imagine!” Encouraged by her words,1agreed to give it a shot I decided on a fictional mole (鼹鼠) as my topic. It was a cute creature with poor eyesight mostly living underground, digging holes and helping get rid of pests. Not a brilliant idea, but unique; and undoubtedly a relatable tale. What did the mole think as he fought his way in the darkness? Would he get scared? Have second thoughts? Want to quit? It struck a chord immediately. I got exhausted from preparing the speech. I had doubts about my choice. I wanted to escape from reality. But, like the blind mole. I kept it up. I doubled my efforts. I checked out books from the school library. I referred to some great speeches. I turned to my father for guidance. A week before the competition, I presented my speech to my teacher. She smiled, saying “Good. Now, polish your writing and practice your delivery.” I couldn’t remember how many times I made adjustments to my writing. Nor could I recall how I practiced it over and over again, with mixed feelings. “Could my message get across to the audience?” “How would they react?” Tons of questions crowded into my mind. 注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右： 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 The big day finally arrived _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I went up to my teacher after the award ceremony. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$第一节听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。现在你有5秒钟的时间阅读第一小题的有关内容。Hello, this is ultimate computers.
