【解析】
【原文】M: Last week, a portrait of mathematician Alan Turing became the first artwork created by a humanoid robot to be sold, fetching an impressive $1.08 million in New York. The portrait of Turing was created by Ai-Da, an AI-powered robot introduced in 2019 by British art specialist Aidan Meller. It was named after Ada Lovelace, the woman thought by many to be the world’s first computer programmer. The work honors Alan Turing, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern computing and artificial intelligence.
Although the work was initially estimated to fetch up to $180,000, a series of bids drove the price over $1 million. The work was exhibited in 2024 during the AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva. The portrait of Turing not only honors his legacy but also invites us to think about how technology is reshaping human life and creativity.

To write about food, we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production, the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat-processing, etc. But for readers, it will all come back to the grocery store, the kitchen, and the menu they’re faced with at a restaurant. How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity, greedy businessmen, climate change — without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers?
As an essayist, a cultural critic and food writer, at the end of the day, I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat. It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma. After all, I have to eat too.
I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food, I need to know about their eating history and appetites. This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay.
I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage.
My eating biography includes a lot of experiences — as eater, as server, as cook — and a commitment to what tastes good. All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective, and it’s why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history: If I could grow up eating everything, how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system?
I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders?
24. What does the author’s writing mainly focus on?
A. The influence of human diet.
B. The nutritional value of food.
C. The economic impact of food production.
D. The effectiveness of the actions of the local government.
25. Why does the author need to know her readers’ appetites?
A. To make comparisons. B. To list examples.
C. To understand their background. D. To better know herself.
26. What is the author mainly discussing in paragraph 4?
A. Her multicultural identity. B. Her rich experiences with food.
C. Her fascination with special foods. D. Her understanding of foreign foods.
27. What does the author convey about the future diet?
A. It will empower humans.
B. It will be influenced by the past.
C. It will become less diverse.
D. It will be mainly based on personal preference.
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. B 27. B

C
The natural world teems with animals that move in groups, from flocks of birds to packs of wolves to schools of fish. But ants, like humans, are special: animals that routinely travel in congested (拥挤的), two-way traffic. When ants find food sources, many species will lay down a chemical trail for other ants from their colony to follow. These trails can fill up quickly and involve hundreds of ants per minute.
To see how ants avoid congestion, scientists studied them as they moved across a bridge to gather food and return it to the nest. To control ant density (密度), the scientists varied the width of the bridge among 5 millimeters, 10 millimeters and 20 millimeters and the number of ants from 400 to 25,600.
Co-author Sebastien Motsch, an associate professor in Arizona State University’s School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, specializing in studying how individuals interact and self-organize without a central authority to direct them, said the ants changed their speed and behavior to avoid congestion when getting into the densest traffic. “Surprisingly, it appeared that no traffic jam occurred. They always managed to keep flowing somehow.”
Unlike human drivers jockeying for position on the road, ant “commuters” cooperate to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, so optimizing their ability to forage (觅食) while avoiding congestion is more a survival skill than convenience or altruism.
Understanding how ants manage to keep on trucking through the worst jams could have widespread applications beyond traffic engineering, such as in fields involving dense flows of agents, particles or packets of information.
Ants in general appear to share beneficial reinforcement mechanisms that help them adapt to situations involving masses of bodies. Carpenter ants spread out to avoid trampling each other when trying to escape through a narrow door. Fire ants know how to stay out of each other’s way during construction projects. Garden ants excel at avoiding bottlenecks.
Motsch and his colleagues next hope to discover the mechanisms behind the ants’ self-regulation. But doing so could require tracking each ant’s behavior individually. “This kind of tracking is possible,” Motsch said, “but in an environment where it’s so crowded, it’s really challenging.”
28. How did scientists study ants’ traffic behavior?
A. By referring to the computer modeling in the lab.
B. By observing how ants communicate with each other.
C. By comparing the behavior of different species of ants.
D. By varying the number of ants and the width of a bridge.
29. What does the underlined word “jockeying” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Waiting. B. Fighting. C. Searching. D. Applying.
30. What does paragraph 5 mainly show?
A. Ants’ behavior in natural habitats.
B. The impact of traffic jams on wildlife.
C. Applications of ants’ traffic management.
D. Differences between ants and human traffic.
31. What is a key factor in ants’ avoiding traffic jams?
A. Their tiny size.
B. Their competitive nature.
C. Their reliance on a central authority.
D. Their cooperation to achieve a common goal.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】本文为一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家如何研究蚂蚁在密集交通中的流动机制,并探讨其对人类交通工程及其他领域的启示。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“To see how ants avoid congestion, scientists studied them as they moved across a bridge to gather food and return it to the nest. To control ant density (密度), the scientists varied the width of the bridge among 5 millimeters, 10 millimeters and 20 millimeters and the number of ants from 400 to 25,600.(为了了解蚂蚁如何避免拥堵,科学家们研究了它们在穿过一座桥去收集食物并返回巢穴时的行为。为了控制蚂蚁的密度,科学家们改变了桥的宽度,分别设置为5毫米、10毫米和20毫米,同时调整了蚂蚁的数量,从400只到25,600只不等)”可知,科学家通过改变桥的宽度以及蚂蚁的数量来研究蚂蚁的交通行为,故选D。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词后文的内容“ant “commuters” cooperate to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, so optimizing their ability to forage (觅食) while avoiding congestion is more a survival skill than convenience or altruism.(蚂蚁“通勤者”通过合作来实现一个对双方都有益的目标,因此优化觅食能力并避免拥堵更多是一种生存技能,而非仅仅为了方便或利他)”可知,后文提到蚂蚁“通勤者”合作完成一个互利的目标,此处将人类司机在道路上为位置而做的事情与蚂蚁的行为进行对比,故此处划线词“jockeying”在这里的意思应该是“争夺、竞争”,与B项“Fighting(斗争,争夺)”意思相近,人类司机在道路上抢夺位置,为位置而斗争,故选B。
【30题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Understanding how ants manage to keep on trucking through the worst jams could have widespread applications beyond traffic engineering, such as in fields involving dense flows of agents, particles or packets of information.(了解蚂蚁如何在最糟糕的拥堵中保持通行,除了交通工程领域外,还可能有广泛的应用,比如在涉及密集流动的代理、粒子或信息包的领域)”可知,本段主要讲述了理解蚂蚁如何在最拥堵的情况下保持通行在其他涉及密集流动的领域也有广泛的应用,因此本段介绍了蚂蚁的交通管理在其他领域的运用,故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Unlike human drivers jockeying for position on the road, ant “commuters” cooperate to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, so optimizing their ability to forage(觅食) while avoiding congestion is more a survival skill than convenience or altruism.(与人类司机在路上争夺位置不同,蚂蚁“通勤者”通过合作来实现一个对双方都有益的目标,因此优化觅食能力并避免拥堵更多是一种生存技能,而非仅仅为了方便或利他)”可推知,蚂蚁避免交通堵塞的关键因素是它们通过合作来实现一个对双方都有益的目标,故选D。
D
Attachment theory is a psychological theory that describes the ways in which infants and children form close relationships with their caregivers. The theory was developed by British psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s and 1960s.
According to attachment theory, infants are born with a biological need for attachment. This need is driven by the fact that infants are completely dependent on their caregivers for survival. The quality of the attachment relationship that an infant forms with their caregiver has a profound impact on their emotional development.
Bowlby identified four main types of attachment: secure, anxious-avoidant, anxious-ambivalent, and disorganized. Securely attached infants feel safe and secure in their relationships with their caregivers. They are able to explore their environment and learn new things, knowing that their caregiver is there to provide them with support and comfort when they need it. Anxious-avoidant infants avoid close contact with their caregivers. They may seem aloof or indifferent to their caregivers’ attention. Anxious-ambivalent infants are clingy (过于依赖别人的) and demanding of their caregivers’ attention. They may become upset when their caregivers leave them, and they may have difficulty calming down when they are reunited. Disorganized infants exhibit a range of contradictory behaviors when they are with their caregiver. They may seem confused or disoriented, and they may have difficulty forming a secure attachment.
The quality of an infant’s attachment relationship is influenced by a number of factors, including the caregiver’s responsiveness to the infant’s needs, the caregiver’s emotional availability, and the caregiver’s own attachment style. Secure attachment is associated with a number of positive outcomes for infants and children, including better emotional regulation, social skills, and academic achievement. In contrast, insecure attachment is associated with a number of negative outcomes, including difficulty forming close relationships, anxiety, and depression.
Attachment theory has been influential in the field of psychology and has been used to inform a variety of interventions for children and adults with attachment problems. Attachment-based interventions can help people to develop more secure attachment styles, which can lead to improved emotional regulation, social skills, and relationships.
32. What does the second paragraph mention about attachment in infants?
A. It develops over time. B. It is biologically driven.
C. It begins in adulthood. D. It is based on cultural factors.
33. What is the function of paragraph 3?
A. To introduce the origins of attachment theory. B. To describe types of attachment styles in infants.
C. To explain how caregivers form attachment. D. To examine the benefits of secure attachment.
34. What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A. Secure attachment leads to positive outcomes.
B. Caregivers’ attachment styles are unimportant.
C. Attachment has no effect on children’s future.
D. Insecure attachment benefits emotional development.
35. What would the author likely discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Criticism of Bowlby’s work.
B. New types of attachment styles discovered.
C. The effect of culture on attachment theory.
D. More detailed interventions based on attachment theory.
【答案】32. B 33. B 34. A 35. D

Being in the sun is hard work — or so your brain and body seem to think. Even when you’re just relaxing on a lawn chair by the pool or at the beach, you may notice you feel extra sleepy after being outside in the sun for hours. Why does this happen? ____36____
Your body is working hard to regulate its temperature. Even if you are in a lying position by the pool, your body is constantly working to decrease its temperature to a normal level when you’re out in the heat. ____37____ You’re breathing faster, your heart rate is increasing and you’re sweating more. These all require extra energy from your body, which can leave you feeling tired.
____38____ When you’re hanging out by the pool or at the beach, this may give you the opportunity to finally slow down and unwind from stress. Your body may recognize that it lacks sleep and can finally recover and relax, which can make you feel sleepy.
So, it’s time to say goodbye to sunbath? ____39____ In fact, being in the sun can be quite good for you — if you use it properly. For example, sun exposure helps your body produce vitamin D, which is key for the immune system and bone health. ____40____ The problem is that we’re not protecting our skin, not staying hydrated and being exposed to too much sun. As with anything, too much of a good thing can be bad.
A. Your body is releasing built-up stress.
B. Here are some reasons why you can get sunburnt.
C. Also sunshine has been shown to boost your mood.
D. We talked to doctors about why the sun can make us feel tired.
E. These are some symptoms of heat exhaustion you’re experiencing.
F. There are three things your body is doing to try to cool itself down.
G. None of these is meant to suggest that you should stay away from the sun’s rays.

What kids are doing in their spare time
Of the 10,000 kids that were interviewed, all the boys and girls stated that they enjoy watching TV or videos in their spare time. The second most popular activity, attracting 80% of boys and 60% of girls, is playing electronic or computer games.
While girls rates activities such as art and craft highly—just under 60% responded that they enjoy these—only 35% of boys choose creative pastimes. Bike riding, on the other hand, is almost as popular as electronic or computer games among boys and surprisingly, almost 60% of girls said that they enjoy it, too. Skateboarding is relatively less popular among both boys and girls, although it still attracts 38% of boys and 25% of girls.
It is clear from the data that inactive pursuits are far more popular than active ones. I suggest that we pay more attention to active programs.

第二节(满分25分)
67. 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。
When I was in elementary school, I wasn’t very good at sports. I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me.
“You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable.
At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet.
As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A few days later, I signed up for the race.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the race, I went to see Mr Harris.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
A few days later, I signed up for the race. On the race day, I stood nervously at the starting line, surrounded by faster runners. As expected, when the race started, the others sped ahead of me. About halfway through the course, one of the fastest runners tripped and fell. Without thinking, I stopped running and helped him get back on his feet. “Keep going, don’t worry about me,” he said, but I stayed with him. We crossed the finish line together, much slower than everyone else, but we finished side by side.
After the race, I went to see Mr Harris. He smiled when he saw me and said, “What you did today was more important than winning.” At first, I didn’t understand. I didn’t win the race, after all. But he explained, “You helped someone, and that’s something far greater than crossing the finish line first.” At that moment, I realized he was right. The race wasn’t just about speed; it was about determination and compassion. That day, I learned that real success comes from the heart, not from a gold medal.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者在小学时不擅长运动,常因速度慢和身体弱而觉得自己是失败者,但体育老师哈里斯先生通过鼓励和引导改变了作者的看法。哈里斯先生告诉作者坚持和不放弃比获胜更重要,并建议作者每天练习。作者开始每天放学后跑步,逐渐提高了耐力。在学校的年度赛跑日,尽管作者仍不够快,但在老师的鼓励下,作者明白了比赛的意义不在于拿第一,而在于展现坚持不放弃的精神,这才是真正的成功。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“几天后,我报名参加了比赛。”可知,第一段可描写作者报名参加比赛后的经历。
②由第二段首句内容“比赛结束后,我去看哈里斯先生。”可知,第二段可描写作者在比赛后与哈里斯先生的交流,以及从这次交流中获得的深刻领悟。
2.续写线索:比赛开始——其他人超过作者——有人摔倒——帮助他站起来——冲过终点线——哈里斯先生微笑——哈里斯先生解释——作者感悟

①加速:speed/accelerate
②绊倒:trip/stumble

To write about food, we can be reporting on deforestation for palm oil production, the animal welfare conditions in industrial meat-processing, etc. But for readers, it will all come back to the grocery store, the kitchen, and the menu they’re faced with at a restaurant. How do we navigate this field which includes loss of biodiversity, greedy businessmen, climate change — without overwhelming but instead empowering and encouraging readers?
As an essayist, a cultural critic and food writer, at the end of the day, I am trying to attract my readers to consider what they eat. It requires that I involve and insert myself into this human dilemma. After all, I have to eat too.
I once wrote that in order to trust someone on the subject of food, I need to know about their eating history and appetites. This isn’t because I want to measure my own appetite against theirs to ensure we line up, but because it provides significant context: What purpose does food serve in your life? I want to know, so that I can understand why you’re choosing to take it as a focus, whether in a writing career or just one essay.
I grew up on Long Island, spent years in Brooklyn, and now live in San Juan, Puerto Rico. My upbringing consisted of all the Italian, Chinese, Japanese, and Greek food one might imagine a kid just outside New York City would eat, plus Puerto Rican food influenced by my paternal grandmother’s heritage.
My eating biography includes a lot of experiences — as eater, as server, as cook — and a commitment to what tastes good. All of these are useful knowledge for my perspective, and it’s why there is a touch of memoir threaded throughout what is seemingly a cultural history: If I could grow up eating everything, how did I end up with all these ethical concerns and commitments around the food system?
I take the ordinary, the everyday and the ancestral (祖先的) with me when I write about how we have eaten for the past 50 years, and how we could eat in the future. How do I eat and what do I cook when I feel the weight of all these on my shoulders?
24. What does the author’s writing mainly focus on?
A. The influence of human diet.
B. The nutritional value of food.
C. The economic impact of food production.
D. The effectiveness of the actions of the local government.
25. Why does the author need to know her readers’ appetites?
A. To make comparisons. B. To list examples.
C. To understand their background. D. To better know herself.
26. What is the author mainly discussing in paragraph 4?
A. Her multicultural identity. B. Her rich experiences with food.
C. Her fascination with special foods. D. Her understanding of foreign foods.
27. What does the author convey about the future diet?
A. It will empower humans.
B. It will be influenced by the past.
C. It will become less diverse.
D. It will be mainly based on personal preference.
C
The natural world teems with animals that move in groups, from flocks of birds to packs of wolves to schools of fish. But ants, like humans, are special: animals that routinely travel in congested (拥挤的), two-way traffic. When ants find food sources, many species will lay down a chemical trail for other ants from their colony to follow. These trails can fill up quickly and involve hundreds of ants per minute.
To see how ants avoid congestion, scientists studied them as they moved across a bridge to gather food and return it to the nest. To control ant density (密度), the scientists varied the width of the bridge among 5 millimeters, 10 millimeters and 20 millimeters and the number of ants from 400 to 25,600.
Co-author Sebastien Motsch, an associate professor in Arizona State University’s School of Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, specializing in studying how individuals interact and self-organize without a central authority to direct them, said the ants changed their speed and behavior to avoid congestion when getting into the densest traffic. “Surprisingly, it appeared that no traffic jam occurred. They always managed to keep flowing somehow.”
Unlike human drivers jockeying for position on the road, ant “commuters” cooperate to accomplish a mutually beneficial goal, so optimizing their ability to forage (觅食) while avoiding congestion is more a survival skill than convenience or altruism.
Understanding how ants manage to keep on trucking through the worst jams could have widespread applications beyond traffic engineering, such as in fields involving dense flows of agents, particles or packets of information.
Ants in general appear to share beneficial reinforcement mechanisms that help them adapt to situations involving masses of bodies. Carpenter ants spread out to avoid trampling each other when trying to escape through a narrow door. Fire ants know how to stay out of each other’s way during construction projects. Garden ants excel at avoiding bottlenecks.
Motsch and his colleagues next hope to discover the mechanisms behind the ants’ self-regulation. But doing so could require tracking each ant’s behavior individually. “This kind of tracking is possible,” Motsch said, “but in an environment where it’s so crowded, it’s really challenging.”
28. How did scientists study ants’ traffic behavior?
A. By referring to the computer modeling in the lab.
B. By observing how ants communicate with each other.
C. By comparing the behavior of different species of ants.
D. By varying the number of ants and the width of a bridge.
29. What does the underlined word “jockeying” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Waiting. B. Fighting. C. Searching. D. Applying.
30. What does paragraph 5 mainly show?
A. Ants’ behavior in natural habitats.
B. The impact of traffic jams on wildlife.
C. Applications of ants’ traffic management.
D. Differences between ants and human traffic.
31. What is a key factor in ants’ avoiding traffic jams?
A. Their tiny size.
B. Their competitive nature.
C. Their reliance on a central authority.
D. Their cooperation to achieve a common goal.
D
Attachment theory is a psychological theory that describes the ways in which infants and children form close relationships with their caregivers. The theory was developed by British psychologist John Bowlby in the 1950s and 1960s.
According to attachment theory, infants are born with a biological need for attachment. This need is driven by the fact that infants are completely dependent on their caregivers for survival. The quality of the attachment relationship that an infant forms with their caregiver has a profound impact on their emotional development.
Bowlby identified four main types of attachment: secure, anxious-avoidant, anxious-ambivalent, and disorganized. Securely attached infants feel safe and secure in their relationships with their caregivers. They are able to explore their environment and learn new things, knowing that their caregiver is there to provide them with support and comfort when they need it. Anxious-avoidant infants avoid close contact with their caregivers. They may seem aloof or indifferent to their caregivers’ attention. Anxious-ambivalent infants are clingy (过于依赖别人的) and demanding of their caregivers’ attention. They may become upset when their caregivers leave them, and they may have difficulty calming down when they are reunited. Disorganized infants exhibit a range of contradictory behaviors when they are with their caregiver. They may seem confused or disoriented, and they may have difficulty forming a secure attachment.
The quality of an infant’s attachment relationship is influenced by a number of factors, including the caregiver’s responsiveness to the infant’s needs, the caregiver’s emotional availability, and the caregiver’s own attachment style. Secure attachment is associated with a number of positive outcomes for infants and children, including better emotional regulation, social skills, and academic achievement. In contrast, insecure attachment is associated with a number of negative outcomes, including difficulty forming close relationships, anxiety, and depression.
Attachment theory has been influential in the field of psychology and has been used to inform a variety of interventions for children and adults with attachment problems. Attachment-based interventions can help people to develop more secure attachment styles, which can lead to improved emotional regulation, social skills, and relationships.
32. What does the second paragraph mention about attachment in infants?
A. It develops over time. B. It is biologically driven.
C. It begins in adulthood. D. It is based on cultural factors.
33. What is the function of paragraph 3?
A. To introduce the origins of attachment theory. B. To describe types of attachment styles in infants.
C. To explain how caregivers form attachment. D. To examine the benefits of secure attachment.
34. What can be learned from paragraph 4?
A. Secure attachment leads to positive outcomes.
B. Caregivers’ attachment styles are unimportant.
C. Attachment has no effect on children’s future.
D. Insecure attachment benefits emotional development.
35. What would the author likely discuss in the paragraph that follows?
A. Criticism of Bowlby’s work.
B. New types of attachment styles discovered.
C. The effect of culture on attachment theory.
D. More detailed interventions based on attachment theory.

When I was in elementary school, I wasn’t very good at sports. I was always the last to be picked for teams, and I never won a race. I thought being slow and weak made me a failure. But one day, my P. E. teacher, Mr Harris, said something that changed my mind. He had been watching me struggle during a running drill, and after the class, he came over to talk to me.
“You may not be the fastest,” he said, “but you have something even more important. You don’t give up.” I didn’t really understand what he meant at the time. How could not quitting be better than winning? In my mind, if you weren’t first, then you lost. But Mr Harris kept encouraging me. He told me that winning wasn’t everything and that sometimes trying hard and not giving up was even more valuable.
At first, I didn’t believe him, but then he suggested I start practicing a little every day after school. “Don’t focus on becoming the fastest,” he said. “Just focus on improving, even if it’s a little bit each day.” I decided to give it a try, although I wasn’t sure it would make a difference. I began running around the track after school, one lap, then two, slowly increasing my endurance. Over the next few weeks, I noticed small changes. I could run longer without getting tired, and I was improving, even if I wasn’t winning yet.
As the school’s annual race day approached, I wondered if I should sign up. I still wasn’t fast enough to win, but Mr Harris encouraged me once more. “The race isn’t about being first,” he reminded me. “It’s about showing what you can do when you don’t give up. That’s real success.”
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
A few days later, I signed up for the race.
