B
It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water to signal the huge whale, which turns out a mother with her baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, appears to blow mist in my face, then lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy. Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.
San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍) or even plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek. I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale, we see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.
So we are two species connecting through touch, but also through eye contact. Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these attractive creatures turn violent when threatened. That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand. Though she’s wiser and apparently more alert than her child, she still decides to trust us.
4. Why did the author visit Laguna San Ignacio?
A. To analyse the behavior of gray whales.
B To interact with gray whales.
C. To observe the mating habits of gray whales.
D. To take photographs of gray whales.
5. What does the author imply about human interaction with whales in San Ignacio?
A. It is strictly controlled to minimize stress on the whales.
B. It is harmful to the whales and should be avoided.
C. It is encouraged to promote scientific research.
D. It is dangerous and should only be done by experts.
6. Why does the author consider it “a blessing” when a large mama whale approaches the boat?
A. Because she is smarter than her child and better at interacting with people.
B. Because she believes in people and will not turn violent if her baby is harmed.
C. Because a whale as large as this one is rare to see.
D. Because she trusts people despite her concerns about her child’s safety.
7. What’ s the writer’s implied purpose in the passage?
A. To popularize the knowledge of whales.
B. To share an experience of the sea voyage.
C. To show admiration for whales’ motherhood.
D. To advocate harmony between man and nature.
【答案】4. B 5. A 6. D 7. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者和孩子在圣伊格纳西奥与灰鲸互动的经历。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it.(我和我的孩子们正乘坐一艘 18 英尺长的小船——小到如果有一头灰鲸从旁边游过来,我们可以把手伸到水里。然后我们看到了我们此行的目的:一个心形的水花和在它下面急速游动的一个黑色的物体)”等内容可知,作者来圣伊格纳西奥是为了和灰鲸互动。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms.(我通常很担心这样的互动,因为野生动物可能会因为人类的接触而深感压力。但是船只的数量受到严格限制。而且任何靠近船只的鲸鱼都是按照它自己的意愿这么做的)”可知,人类与鲸鱼的互动是受到严格控制的,以尽量减少对鲸鱼的压力。故选A。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these attractive creatures turn violent when threatened. That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand. Though she’s wiser and apparently more alert than her child, she still decides to trust us.(捕鲸者过去常常把灰鲸称为“魔鬼鱼”,因为这些迷人的生物在受到威胁时会变得很凶猛。当我们在那里的第三天,一头大母鲸靠近我们的船时,这就更让我觉得是一种福气了。我正在溅水,这时我感觉到它的鼻子顶到了我的手上。尽管它比它的幼崽更聪明,显然也更警觉,但它还是决定信任我们)”可知,灰鲸在受到威胁时会变得暴力,而这只大母鲸尽管她会担心自己孩子们的安全,但它依然选择相信人类,故作者认为这是一种福气。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“ I touched its skin gently.(我温柔地摸着它的皮肤)”和第二段“he seems to like being petted and splashed.(他好像很喜欢被抚摸和泼水)”及最后一段“she still decides to trust us.(她仍然决定相信我们)”并结合全文内容可知,文章通过描述作者和孩子的一段与鲸鱼互动的海上之旅,想要展现人与自然和谐共处的场景,故文章隐含的目的是提倡人与自然和谐相处。故选D。
C
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers. While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is an edition devoted to environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more sustainable is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advised readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most distinguished advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative. The publisher’s core belief is environmental sustainability. As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
Approximately 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users represents 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has impacted how people look at the news and the print readership has declined dramatically. Likewise, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper can bring about a revolution in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental impact.
8. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”?
A. It uses water-resistant materials.
B. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
C. It functions as nutrients for seeds.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
9. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey?
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
10. How does the author explain the initiative’s influence?
A. By listing statistics.
B. By making a comparison.
C. By conducting surveys.
D. By analyzing results.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A living newspaper gives back to Earth.
B. The publishing industry sees a green milestone.
C. Used newspapers become home to plants.
D. Many companies support plantable newspapers.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了日本一家出版公司发明了“绿色报纸”,这种报纸可以种植植物,很好地解决了废报纸问题。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中“What makes it even more sustainable is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. (使它更具可持续性的是用于打印文字和照片的油墨,它是由植物制成的)”可知,“绿色报纸”是用植物油墨印制的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。由第三段中“As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. (正如其使命声明所说,“Mainichi不仅通过信息采取行动,还通过解决全球问题采取行动。”在共同努力下,这一举措已传播到日本的各个角落,每天售出约数百万份)”可知,每天售出的绿色报纸传播到日本各地,Mainichi用自己的实际行动来解决环保问题。由此推知,他们的使命声明很好地表达了“行动胜于言语”的思想。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段“Approximately 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users represents 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has impacted how people look at the news and the print readership has declined dramatically. Likewise, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper can bring about a revolution in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental impact. (每年大约有9500万棵树因制作报纸而损失。互联网,其用户数量为62。占全球人口的5%,影响了人们看待新闻的方式,印刷品读者人数急剧下降。同样,本报的重塑和重新构想可以带来出版业的革命,也会对环境产生影响)”可推知,作者首先阐述了互联网对出版业的影响,然后将“绿色报纸”和互联网类比,表明“绿色报纸”将会给出版业带来的巨大影响。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文可知,文章主要介绍了日本株式会社每日新闻社开发的嵌入植物种子的环保报纸“Green Newspaper”,该报纸采用环保油墨印制,把这种报纸的碎屑种在土壤里能长出植物,A项“有生命的报纸回馈地球”概括了文章主要内容且生动形象,选项中的“living”体现了能长出植物这一特点,“gives back to Earth”体现了报纸的绿色环保。故选A项。
D
In today’s digital age, browsing short-form videos on platforms like TikTok and YouTube has become a popular way to pass time. While there are truly engaging videos, there are also plenty of unremarkable ones. However, a recent study reveals that frequently skipping between videos or fast-forwarding within them might not relieve boredom—it could actually make it worse.
Dr. Katy Tam from the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead researcher of this study, explained that boredom has a close connection with attention. “When the level of our engagement with a video doesn’t match what we expect, boredom sets in,” she said. “People who frequently switch videos are seeking more interesting content, but this actually reduces their engagement and increases feelings of boredom.”
The findings align with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Tam and her team conducted seven experiments involving over 1,200 participants in total. The initial two experiments had different results. One showed that people switch more when they find videos boring, and the other indicated that people thought the ability to skip or switch would reduce boredom. But later experiments proved otherwise. For example, undergraduates reported higher boredom levels when they could skip within a video or switch between several short videos compared to watching a single longer video.
“Our research clearly shows that the act of fast-forwarding or skipping videos in an attempt to avoid boredom can backfire,” Dr. Tam said. “Just like in a movie theatre, true enjoyment often comes from full immersion, not constant switching.”
12 What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The relationship between video switching and boredom.
B. How to avoid boredom while browsing videos.
C. The popularity of TikTok and YouTube among young people.
D. The importance of immersive experiences in movie theaters.
13. What does the underlined phrase “align with” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. contrast with B. compare with C. agree with D. conflict with
14. What did the early experiments by Dr Tam’s team show?
A. People switch less when videos are boring.
B. People have different ideas about video-watching.
C. The ability to skip or switch can reduce boredom.
D. Boredom has no relation with video-switching.
15. To relieve boredom while watching videos, Dr. Katy Tam suggest people ________.
A. skip through videos as often as possible
B. fast-forward videos to keep interest
C. avoid watching videos on social media platforms
D. absorb themselves in the video content
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了多伦多斯卡伯勒大学的研究人员关于人们浏览视频的研究,研究表明不断切换视频或在同一视频中前后跳跃实际上会让人们感到更无聊。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“a recent study reveals that frequently skipping between videos or fast-forwarding within them might not relieve boredom—it could actually make it worse. (一项最近的研究揭示,频繁地在视频之间切换或在视频中快进可能无法缓解无聊,实际上,它可能会使无聊感变得更糟。)”以及纵观全文可知,文章主要探讨了人们在浏览视频时频繁切换或跳过内容如何影响他们的无聊感,因此主旨是视频切换与无聊之间的关系。故选A项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段“People who frequently switch videos are seeking more interesting content, but this actually reduces their engagement and increases feelings of boredom.(频繁切换视频的人是在寻找更有趣的内容,但这实际上降低了他们的参与度,增加了他们的无聊感)”及第三段“as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse. (正如研究小组指出的那样,之前的研究表明,尽管缓解无聊是人们使用社交媒体或智能手机的一个动力,但使用这些技术似乎会让感觉更糟)”可知,之前的研究和现在的研究结果一样,推知align with是“与……一致”之意。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“The initial two experiments had different results. One showed that people switch more when they find videos boring, and the other indicated that people thought the ability to skip or switch would reduce boredom. (最初的两个实验得出了不同的结果。一个实验表明,当人们觉得视频无聊时,他们会更频繁地切换;而另一个实验则表明,人们认为能够跳过或切换视频可以减少无聊感。)”可知人们持不同的观点。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Just like in a movie theatre, true enjoyment often comes from full immersion, not constant switching. (就像在电影院一样,真正的享受往往来自于全身心的投入,而不是不断地切换。)”可知,Dr. Katy Tam建议人们沉浸于视频内容中来缓解无聊。故选D项。

How to Teach Your Kids to Enjoy Hiking
Hiking is one of my favorite things to do. Ever since my kids were babies, we’ve been getting out of the house on most weekends to explore. Get exercise and fresh air.
A good, long, family hike gives us a sense of accomplishment. It creates opportunities for conversation. It brings us closer with a shared memories and experiences. ___16___

First of all, eat before you leave and carry food. It’s common for us to have a quick bite before we strike out on a trail. ___18___ But these are served at official stops, not just handed out freely.
Pack lots of water. There are few things more miserable than hiking while thirsty. I like my kids drink as much as they want because they can always stop to relieve (方便,上厕所) themselves along the way.
___19___ Kids like knowing where they are in the world. Maps are perfect for helping them to understand that. I always take some time before we leave to show them where we are,where we’re headed, and what the journey will look like. Point out landmarks that they will see. We talk about how long it will take so they don’t ask me. “Are we there yet?”

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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there?” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team,” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Dan walked away, leaving me in despair. I felt dead inside, like nothing mattered. My mind went blank for the rest of the school day. My heart broke when I saw all my friends gathering after school, joking and laughing around. It was then that it occurred to me that nobody was going to give me a position on that team. I would have to earn it by myself. Having made this mental breakthrough, I decided to work for my goal of making the team. I decided to hit the gym every day.
After almost a year of practicing, I tried again. I felt confident. Regardless of the outcome, I knew that I had worked hard. The next day, I found out that I was on the list. Seeing my name printed in large bold letters on the name list made me feel excited. My dream came true finally. I became a member of the school basketball team. From the experience, I realized that the greater efforts we made, the sweeter reward we would get and that success needed painstaking efforts and patience.
【解析】

It’s a windy day in Laguna San Ignacio, and the waves seem to come from all directions. My children and I are riding on a 18-foot boat — small enough that we can reach down into the water if a gray whale swims up alongside. And then we see what we’ve come for: a heart-shaped shower of water and a dark mass rushing below it. As instructed, we splash (溅泼) the water to signal the huge whale, which turns out a mother with her baby. The baby soon swims beneath our boat, appears to blow mist in my face, then lies onto its side like a 2-ton puppy. Leaning down, I touched its skin gently. It feels electric. Also, a bit like petting a hard-boiled egg.
San Ignacio is one of very few places where a person can pet a whale. The whales come each year to give birth and to mate. If you’re lucky, you can shake hands with a leathery fin (鳍) or even plant a kiss on a cold, salty cheek. I usually worry about such interactions, because wild creatures can become deeply stressed by human contact. But boat numbers are strictly limited. And any whale that approaches a boat does so on its own terms. Like that baby whale, we see him a few times, and he seems to like being petted and splashed.
So we are two species, connecting through touch, but also through eye contact. Whalers used to call gray whales “devil fish” because these attractive creatures turn violent when threatened. That makes it feel even more of a blessing when, on our third day there, a large mama whale approaches the boat. I’m splashing when I feel her nose press up into my hand. Though she’s wiser and apparently more alert than her child, she still decides to trust us.
4. Why did the author visit Laguna San Ignacio?
A. To analyse the behavior of gray whales.
B. To interact with gray whales.
C. To observe the mating habits of gray whales.
D. To take photographs of gray whales.
5. What does the author imply about human interaction with whales in San Ignacio?
A. It is strictly controlled to minimize stress on the whales.
B. It is harmful to the whales and should be avoided.
C. It is encouraged to promote scientific research.
D. It is dangerous and should only be done by experts.
6. Why does the author consider it “a blessing” when a large mama whale approaches the boat?
A. Because she is smarter than her child and better at interacting with people.
B. Because she believes in people and will not turn violent if her baby is harmed.
C. Because a whale as large as this one is rare to see.
D. Because she trusts people despite her concerns about her child’s safety.
7. What’ s the writer’s implied purpose in the passage?
A. To popularize the knowledge of whales.
B. To share an experience of the sea voyage.
C. To show admiration for whales’ motherhood.
D. To advocate harmony between man and nature.
C
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers. While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is an edition devoted to environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more sustainable is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advised readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most distinguished advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative. The publisher’s core belief is environmental sustainability. As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
Approximately 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users represents 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has impacted how people look at the news and the print readership has declined dramatically. Likewise, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper can bring about a revolution in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental impact.
8. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”?
A. It uses water-resistant materials.
B. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
C. It functions as nutrients for seeds.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
9. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey?
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
10. How does the author explain the initiative’s influence?
A. By listing statistics.
B. By making a comparison.
C. By conducting surveys.
D. By analyzing results.
11. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. A living newspaper gives back to Earth.
B. The publishing industry sees a green milestone.
C. Used newspapers become home to plants.
D. Many companies support plantable newspapers.

In today’s digital age, browsing short-form videos on platforms like TikTok and YouTube has become a popular way to pass time. While there are truly engaging videos, there are also plenty of unremarkable ones. However, a recent study reveals that frequently skipping between videos or fast-forwarding within them might not relieve boredom—it could actually make it worse.
Dr. Katy Tam from the University of Toronto Scarborough, the lead researcher of this study, explained that boredom has a close connection with attention. “When the level of our engagement with a video doesn’t match what we expect, boredom sets in,” she said. “People who frequently switch videos are seeking more interesting content, but this actually reduces their engagement and increases feelings of boredom.”
The findings align with other studies: as the team notes, previous research has suggested that while boredom relief is a driver for people to use social media or smartphones, the use of such technology appears to make the feeling worse.
Tam and her team conducted seven experiments involving over 1,200 participants in total. The initial two experiments had different results. One showed that people switch more when they find videos boring, and the other indicated that people thought the ability to skip or switch would reduce boredom. But later experiments proved otherwise. For example, undergraduates reported higher boredom levels when they could skip within a video or switch between several short videos compared to watching a single longer video.
“Our research clearly shows that the act of fast-forwarding or skipping videos in an attempt to avoid boredom can backfire,” Dr. Tam said. “Just like in a movie theatre, true enjoyment often comes from full immersion, not constant switching.”
12. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The relationship between video switching and boredom.
B. How to avoid boredom while browsing videos.
C. The popularity of TikTok and YouTube among young people.
D. The importance of immersive experiences in movie theaters.
13. What does the underlined phrase “align with” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. contrast with B. compare with C. agree with D. conflict with
14. What did the early experiments by Dr Tam’s team show?
A People switch less when videos are boring.
B People have different ideas about video-watching.
C. The ability to skip or switch can reduce boredom.
D. Boredom has no relation with video-switching.
15. To relieve boredom while watching videos, Dr. Katy Tam suggest people ________.
A. skip through videos as often as possible
B. fast-forward videos to keep interest
C. avoid watching videos on social media platforms
D. absorb themselves in the video content

How to Teach Your Kids to Enjoy Hiking
Hiking is one of my favorite things to do. Ever since my kids were babies, we’ve been getting out of the house on most weekends to explore. Get exercise and fresh air.
A good, long, family hike gives us a sense of accomplishment. It creates opportunities for conversation. It brings us closer with a shared memories and experiences. ___16___
But how do we do it? I often get this question from friends and strangers. They express surprise at my small children’s ability to walk 10-mile trial or their willingness to climb 2,800-foot mountains. Their children don’t even want to walk to school. ___17___ So what’s the secret?
First of all, eat before you leave and carry food. It’s common for us to have a quick bite before we strike out on a trail. ___18___ But these are served at official stops, not just handed out freely.
Pack lots of water. There are few things more miserable than hiking while thirsty. I like my kids drink as much as they want because they can always stop to relieve (方便,上厕所) themselves along the way.
___19___ Kids like knowing where they are in the world. Maps are perfect for helping them to understand that. I always take some time before we leave to show them where we are,where we’re headed, and what the journey will look like. Point out landmarks that they will see. We talk about how long it will take so they don’t ask me. “Are we there yet?”
Remember, it’s not about the speed. It’s about steady progress. The last thing you want is a exhausted child who can barely continue. ___20___

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。
My knees started shaking, yet my body froze; it felt as though my soul departed from my body and I had no control over it. Anxiously, I looked through the name list posted on the wall of the locker room. My heart was beating harder and harder as I slowly saw all my friends’ names on that list but could not find mine. At that moment, I froze; I just could not accept that all my friends were on the school basketball team, but I was not.
I was so convinced there was a mistake that I went and found the coach. “Mr John, are you sure that the name list you posted is correct?” I asked anxiously, dreading his answer.
“Yes, the names on the list are finalized. Sorry if you did not make it this year. There is always next year,” the coach replied without the slightest bit of pity.
I could feel the hot, bitter tears filling my eyes. All my efforts were in vain. I ran out of the room as fast as I could. As soon as I walked out, I saw my friends crowding into the locker room to look at the team list. I heard them shouting and laughing as I walked away. Every one of them jumped around with exuberance (生气勃勃) after seeing that they made the team. Trying to forget about the situation, I planned to head over to the cafeteria to buy some food, but Dan caught up with me on the way.
“Everybody is coming over to my house to celebrate! Will you be there?” he asked.
“I… I didn’t make the team,” I stammered (结巴).
“Oh, I didn’t know. You can still come after school if you want,” he hesitated.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右;
2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。

Dan walked away, leaving me in despair.
