第二部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分50分)
第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2.5分, 满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
With all work-related books available finding guidance for one’s professional growth is as simple as ABC. But there’s something special given to us from someone we adore and look up to — mothers.
I am blessed to have a mother who is a teacher. Growing up, she always encouraged me to follow what I enjoyed. I never felt the pressure to have to follow a certain career path because of status or finance, or just because it was believed to mean “earning a good living”. She recommended that I follow the path that might bring me the most joy.
—Nancy
My mom spent her entire career as a nurse. When I was hired as a healthcare consultant, it was an honor to be “Lauran’s daughter”. The best career lesson she taught me is to find my strong points. I didn’t love the hands-on caregiving, but I excelled in marketing healthcare programs. I’ve got the natural talent there, and enjoy my career.
—Pat
The best career advice I’ve gotten from my mom is that life is easier and happier when you are clear on your top priority (优先权) — and you can only have one top priority. You’ll be better off when you are honest with people about that priority and you give yourself permission to say no to things that are against that priority.
—Rebecca
The best advice from my mum was to be true to myself. For years, I had tried to succeed by learning from people who had found success in their respective careers. Although it had helped to some degree, when I truly accepted who I was and allowed myself to focus on my unique personality and strength, I found new levels of career growth.
—Suzanne
21. What did Nancy’s mother advise her to do?
A. Find her strength.
B. Accept who she is.
C. Know her priority.
D. Pursue happiness.
22. What have Pat and Suzanne both learned?
A. Develop natural talents.
B. Make oneself a priority.
C. Focus on one’s strength.
D Be honest with people.
23. In which column of the magazine will you find the text?
A. Career guidance. B. Family relation.
C. Mental health. D. Professional skills.
B
The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached.
As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence.
I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron.We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself.
I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother.
While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognised from a professional club approached me.“What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face.
24. What used to trouble the writer?
A. The longing for recognition. B. The eagerness to bear labels.
C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The hardship of physical training.
25. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the match?
A. Defeated. B. Anxious. C. Optimistic. D. Honored.
26. What can we learn about Aaron from paragraph 4?
A. He adopted his usual trick in the match.
B. He purchased a tennis racket for the writer.
C. He had an obvious advantage in the last round.
D. He withdrew from the World Tennis Tournament.
27 Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Price for One Mistake B. From Nobody to Somebody
C. Why Brotherhood Matters D. Aaron's Last-minute Victory
C
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games kicked off with a 24-second countdown video of the 24 solar terms. The ceremony coincided with Lichun (Beginning of Spring), the first of the 24 solar terms of the year. Audiences around the world admired on the screen the changes in natural rhythm at different solar terms.
Described in some books and documentaries, the ancient Chinese understood the importance of time in developing agriculture. They arranged farming activities based on the 24 solar terms. According to a survey by a British agronomist in the 19th century, farmers in China used the land well. With unchanged energy and labor, each acre of land could support six times more people than a similar plot in Britain at the time, demonstrating Chinese farmers’ deep understanding of time.
The solar terms not only affect agriculture but shape Chinese regimen. The solar terms guide people to live and work out according to the laws of nature and to seek harmony with it. Lots of traditions and customs regarding the solar terms are sill popular, such as weighing oneself on Lixia (Beginning of Summer), eating newly harvested wheat on Xiaoman (Grain Buds) and gaining weight on Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn).
Production and life follow the rhythm of time, as do individuals and society. The 24 solar terms not only mark changes of time, but also serve as cultural symbols reminding people to maintain certain principles. As the solar term Lichun arrives, it is the time for planning activities of plants and animals. For Chinese, it also means humans should develop self-discipline and avoid pursuing their own interests at the expense of other lives on the planet. As the name of the solar term Qingming (Pure Brightness) suggests, people should lead a life of honesty and fairness.
28. Why does the writer mention Beijing Olympic Winter Games?
A. To praise the organizing committee.
B. To present the solar terms to readers.
C. To appeal to readers to admire the video.
D. To introduce the changes in natural world.
29. What benefit does the solar terms bring to agriculture?
A. Advanced sowing techniques.
B. Increased grain harvests.
C. Deepened understanding of labor.
D. Improved energy use scheme.
30. What does the underlined word “regimen” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Rules about employing leisure time.
B. Rules about controlling body weight.
C. Rules about consuming nutritional food.
D. Rules about maintaining physical health.
31. What can be inferred about the solar terms from the last paragraph?
A. They reflect Chinese philosophy of life.
B. They force people to lead an honest life.
C. They enjoy increasing popularity in China.
D. They escape people’s mind in modem times.
D
A woman paralyzed (瘫痪) from the neck down has learned to use her thoughts to control a specially designed motorized arm. The arm is the product of years of research on mind-controlled artificial arm.
Researchers in the American state of Pennsylvania say the motorized arm is the most advanced mind-controlled artificial arm ever made. They created the device to help return some muscle control to Jan Scheuermann. She is suffering from a degenerative neuro muscular disease that paralyzed her from the neck down. She has no control of her arms and legs. The motorized right arm has a five-fingered hand with certain joints. It enables Ms. Scheuermann to pick up and hold objects and feed herself.
Neurobiologist Andrew Schwartz led the University of Pittsburgh research team that developed the artificial arm. Researchers placed about 200 electrodes (电极) in the woman’s left cerebral cortex which is the part of the brain that people use to move their right arm. The electrodes recorded what the woman’s brain cells were doing when she thought about moving the arm. That was enough information that we could then decode (解码) from those recordings what the intention of the subject was, the way she wanted to move her arm and her wrist and close her hand. Researchers could decode the information from those neurons to allow them to do that.
Jan Scheuermann took part in a 13-week-long program to teach her brain to move the arm. But she did not need that much time. “Nothing to it.” she smiled. She was able to use her mind to move the robotic arm after just two weeks of training. She reportedly told researchers that she planned to use the arm to feed herself some chocolate. When she was able to do that it made the research team very delighted.
Andrew Schwartz says his team plans to build another artificial arm, so people like Ms. Scheuermann can hold and move objects using two hands. “And really, the satisfying part is that we’re not just making a machine move; we’re actually recreating natural humanoid movements. So we’re capturing all the beauty, and grace, and skill of a real movement and allowing these subjects to basically regain natural functions that they used to have.”
32. What can we learn about the artificial arm?
A. It was completely controlled by AI. B. It has the same structure as human’s.
C. It can help patients do some daily chores. D. It makes movements under verbal commands.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The procedures of fixing the artificial arm. B. The working principle of the artificial arm.
C. How the woman operated the artificial arm. D. How the researchers recorded the information.
34. What might Jan Scheuermann think of the training program?
A. Tough. B. Unattainable. C. Complicated. D. Simple.
35. What made the researchers satisfied?
A. They captured graceful movements.
B. They made a contribution to society.
C. They updated the new generation of artificial arm.
D. They assisted others with restoring natural functions.

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续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cool autumn morning when the school announced the annual sports day. For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts.
Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her persistence was hard to ignore.
The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and fell, scraping (擦伤) my knee. Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone.
As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was infectious. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging.
The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dream of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the thrill of competition. Training hard, I longed to showcase my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it means a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it!
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 day I looked forward to came eventually.

M: My teacher recommended that too. This can lead to a shortage of labor force. Moreover, it will result in increased pressure on elderly care.
W: Well, some countries have invited young people from other countries, like Canada. And some others have adopted the form of delaying retirement.
M: Besides, we should also believe in the power of science and technology.
W: With the development of AI and robots, robots will be smart and advanced enough to act as carers for humans. Not just the elderly, but the young and disabled as well.
M: That’s a good point.

A
With all work-related books available, finding guidance for one’s professional growth is as simple as ABC. But there’s something special given to us from someone we adore and look up to — mothers.
I am blessed to have a mother who is a teacher. Growing up, she always encouraged me to follow what I enjoyed. I never felt the pressure to have to follow a certain career path because of status or finance, or just because it was believed to mean “earning a good living”. She recommended that I follow the path that might bring me the most joy.
—Nancy
My mom spent her entire career as a nurse. When I was hired as a healthcare consultant, it was an honor to be “Lauran’s daughter”. The best career lesson she taught me is to find my strong points. I didn’t love the hands-on caregiving, but I excelled in marketing healthcare programs. I’ve got the natural talent there, and enjoy my career.
—Pat
The best career advice I’ve gotten from my mom is that life is easier and happier when you are clear on your top priority (优先权) — and you can only have one top priority. You’ll be better off when you are honest with people about that priority and you give yourself permission to say no to things that are against that priority.
—Rebecca
The best advice from my mum was to be true to myself. For years, I had tried to succeed by learning from people who had found success in their respective careers. Although it had helped to some degree, when I truly accepted who I was and allowed myself to focus on my unique personality and strength, I found new levels of career growth.
—Suzanne
21. What did Nancy’s mother advise her to do?
A. Find her strength.
B. Accept who she is.
C. Know her priority.
D. Pursue happiness.
22. What have Pat and Suzanne both learned?
A. Develop natural talents.
B. Make oneself a priority.
C. Focus on one’s strength.
D. Be honest with people.
23. In which column of the magazine will you find the text?
A. Career guidance. B. Family relation.
C. Mental health. D. Professional skills.

The title of “Aaron’s younger brother” was given to me at the age of six. It was a label stuck to me and all people had to do was to refer to the imaginary label and they would know how to address me. I wanted to defeat Aaron, whose fame had reduced me to a nameless tennis player. Then the day eventually approached.
As I shook Aaron's hand at the start of the match, I stared at him with determination. “I’m going to beat you today.” I gathered the confidence to claim over the outcome of the match. Aaron laughed carelessly as he turned his back towards me. For a brief moment, I regretted that display of over-confidence.
I nervously shifted my weight from one foot to the other. The tennis court seemed to stretch out further than usual. My sweaty hands tightened around my racket (球拍) — the fifth one passed down to me from Aaron.We entered into a heated fight. I was persevering as expected, and I was not sure how long it would take before I withdrew. We were down to the last round, neck and neck in points. I made a mistake, then Aaron leaped up, stretching his arm out. The sun cast his image over me, reminding me that I would always be walking in his shadow if I couldn’t prove myself.
I readied myself for the finishing blow, images of Aaron’s past matches flooding through my mind. I recalled the habit of his hit in the World Tennis Tournament, extending my arm to the left in anticipation of where the ball was going to land. The ball made contact with my racket and was lobbed(吊高球) over Aaron’s head. He could do nothing but witness his undefeated status being erased by his younger brother.
While I was still enjoying the unfamiliar feeling of victory, a man whom I recognised from a professional club approached me.“What is your name, son?” he asked. A smile spread across my face.
24. What used to trouble the writer?
A. The longing for recognition. B. The eagerness to bear labels.
C. The desire to be a tennis player. D. The hardship of physical training.
25. How did the writer feel at the beginning of the match?
A. Defeated. B. Anxious. C. Optimistic. D. Honored.

B. He purchased a tennis racket for the writer.
C. He had an obvious advantage in the last round.
D. He withdrew from the World Tennis Tournament.
27. Which is the best title for the text?
A. The Price for One Mistake B. From Nobody to Somebody
C. Why Brotherhood Matters D. Aaron's Last-minute Victory
【答案】24. A 25. C 26. A 27. B
【解析】

C
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games kicked off with a 24-second countdown video of the 24 solar terms. The ceremony coincided with Lichun (Beginning of Spring), the first of the 24 solar terms of the year. Audiences around the world admired on the screen the changes in natural rhythm at different solar terms.
Described in some books and documentaries, the ancient Chinese understood the importance of time in developing agriculture. They arranged farming activities based on the 24 solar terms. According to a survey by a British agronomist in the 19th century, farmers in China used the land well. With unchanged energy and labor, each acre of land could support six times more people than a similar plot in Britain at the time, demonstrating Chinese farmers’ deep understanding of time.
The solar terms not only affect agriculture but shape Chinese regimen. The solar terms guide people to live and work out according to the laws of nature and to seek harmony with it. Lots of traditions and customs regarding the solar terms are sill popular, such as weighing oneself on Lixia (Beginning of Summer), eating newly harvested wheat on Xiaoman (Grain Buds) and gaining weight on Liqiu (Beginning of Autumn).
Production and life follow the rhythm of time, as do individuals and society. The 24 solar terms not only mark changes of time, but also serve as cultural symbols reminding people to maintain certain principles. As the solar term Lichun arrives, it is the time for planning activities of plants and animals. For Chinese, it also means humans should develop self-discipline and avoid pursuing their own interests at the expense of other lives on the planet. As the name of the solar term Qingming (Pure Brightness) suggests, people should lead a life of honesty and fairness.
28. Why does the writer mention Beijing Olympic Winter Games?
A. To praise the organizing committee.
B. To present the solar terms to readers.
C. To appeal to readers to admire the video.
D. To introduce the changes in natural world.
29. What benefit does the solar terms bring to agriculture?
A. Advanced sowing techniques.
B. Increased grain harvests.
C. Deepened understanding of labor.
D. Improved energy use scheme.
30. What does the underlined word “regimen” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Rules about employing leisure time.
B. Rules about controlling body weight.
C. Rules about consuming nutritional food.
D. Rules about maintaining physical health.
31. What can be inferred about the solar terms from the last paragraph?
A. They reflect Chinese philosophy of life.
B. They force people to lead an honest life.
C. They enjoy increasing popularity in China.
D. They escape people’s mind in modem times.
【答案】28. B 29. B 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文介绍了24节气对中国人农耕、养生之道以及人生观各方面的影响。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Winter Games kicked off with a 24-second countdown video of the 24 solar terms.(北京冬奥会开幕式以24秒的24节气倒计时视频拉开帷幕)”以及全文内容可知,第一自然段提到北京冬奥会是为了引出主题,即“24节气”。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“With unchanged energy and labor, each acre of land could support six times more people than a similar plot in Britain at the time, demonstrating Chinese farmers’ deep understanding of time.(在能源和劳动力不变的情况下,每英亩土地可以养活的人口是当时英国同类土地的6倍,显示出中国农民对时间的深刻理解)”可知,中国人根据节气进行耕种,使得农业产量得以增长。故选B。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段的第二句话“The solar terms guide people to live and work out according to the laws of nature and to seek harmony with it.( 节气引导人们按照自然规律生活和工作,并寻求与自然的和谐)”可知,24节气引导人们按照自然规律生活和锻炼,并寻求与自然的和谐,即养生之道。由此可知regimen一词的意思为“养生之道”。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的内容“The 24 solar terms not only mark changes of time, but also serve as cultural symbols reminding people to maintain certain principles. As the solar term Lichun arrives, it is the time for planning activities of plants and animals. For Chinese, it also means humans should develop self-discipline and avoid pursuing their own interests at the expense of other lives on the planet. As the name of the solar term Qingming (Pure Brightness) suggests, people should lead a life of honesty and fairness.(二十四节气不仅标志着时间的变化,也是提醒人们保持一定原则的文化符号。随着立春节气的到来,是动植物计划活动的时候了。对中国人来说,这也意味着人类应该自律,避免以牺牲地球上其他生命为代价来追求自己的利益。正如节气清明的名字所暗示的那样,人们应该过一种诚实和公平的生活)”可知,24节气影响了中国人的人生观。故选A。
D
A woman paralyzed (瘫痪) from the neck down has learned to use her thoughts to control a specially designed motorized arm. The arm is the product of years of research on mind-controlled artificial arm.
Researchers in the American state of Pennsylvania say the motorized arm is the most advanced mind-controlled artificial arm ever made. They created the device to help return some muscle control to Jan Scheuermann. She is suffering from a degenerative neuro muscular disease that paralyzed her from the neck down. She has no control of her arms and legs. The motorized right arm has a five-fingered hand with certain joints. It enables Ms. Scheuermann to pick up and hold objects and feed herself.
Neurobiologist Andrew Schwartz led the University of Pittsburgh research team that developed the artificial arm. Researchers placed about 200 electrodes (电极) in the woman’s left cerebral cortex which is the part of the brain that people use to move their right arm. The electrodes recorded what the woman’s brain cells were doing when she thought about moving the arm. That was enough information that we could then decode (解码) from those recordings what the intention of the subject was, the way she wanted to move her arm and her wrist and close her hand. Researchers could decode the information from those neurons to allow them to do that.
Jan Scheuermann took part in a 13-week-long program to teach her brain to move the arm. But she did not need that much time. “Nothing to it.” she smiled. She was able to use her mind to move the robotic arm after just two weeks of training. She reportedly told researchers that she planned to use the arm to feed herself some chocolate. When she was able to do that, it made the research team very delighted.
Andrew Schwartz says his team plans to build another artificial arm, so people like Ms. Scheuermann can hold and move objects using two hands. “And really, the satisfying part is that we’re not just making a machine move; we’re actually recreating natural humanoid movements. So we’re capturing all the beauty, and grace, and skill of a real movement and allowing these subjects to basically regain natural functions that they used to have.”
32. What can we learn about the artificial arm?
A. It was completely controlled by AI. B. It has the same structure as human’s.
C. It can help patients do some daily chores. D. It makes movements under verbal commands.
33. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The procedures of fixing the artificial arm. B. The working principle of the artificial arm.
C. How the woman operated the artificial arm. D. How the researchers recorded the information.
34. What might Jan Scheuermann think of the training program?
A. Tough. B. Unattainable. C. Complicated. D. Simple.
35. What made the researchers satisfied?
A. They captured graceful movements.
B. They made a contribution to society.
C. They updated the new generation of artificial arm.
D. They assisted others with restoring natural functions.
【答案】32. C 33. B 34. D 35. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是通过脑机接口技术,一位颈部以下瘫痪的女性成功使用思维控制机械臂完成日常活动的突破性进展。
【32题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了美国阿拉斯加的一个名为“North of Hope”的为化疗患者提供舒适包的公益组织项目,并介绍了项目的起源、内容以及如何参与捐赠。
【56题详解】
考查介词。句意:自2016年以来,位于阿拉斯加的组织“North of Hope”与朋友、家人和社区成员合作,为接受化疗的妇女和男性提供化疗舒适包。此处为固定短语provide sb. with sth.,意思是“给某人提供……”,符合题意。故填with。
【57题详解】
考查现在分词。句意:为那些患有严重癌症的人提供化疗舒适包的项目始于一位癌症患者从朋友那里收到一个类似的包。句子中已经存在谓语started,所以suffer需要转化为非谓语,它与逻辑主语those之间是助动关系,需用现在分词形式作后置定语。故填suffering。
【58题详解】
考查名词。句意:在经历了两轮乳腺癌治疗后,Teresa Koop——一位在阿拉斯加工作的当地居民兼销售员——深知在化疗期间一些舒适物品的重要性。此处为breast cancer,名词宾语,treat的名词是treatment意为“治疗”。故填treatment。
【59题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:在经历了两轮乳腺癌治疗后,Teresa Koop——一位在阿拉斯加工作的当地居民兼销售员——深知在化疗期间一些舒适物品的重要性。这个句子是个宾语从句,结合句意,从句中缺少“多么”的意思,需用how。故填how。
【60题详解】
考查时间状语从句。句意:当一位朋友被诊断出患有乳腺癌时,Teresa想到了为她的朋友准备一个化疗舒适包。这个句子是个时间状语从句,根据句意,表示“当……时”,或者“在……之后”,需用连词when或after,首字母大写。故填When/After。
【61题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这个想法从那里开始发展,自2016年以来,已有超过50个这样的化疗舒适包被送到了正在接受化疗的患者手中。根据句意,表示特指,指代这个想法,需用定冠词the,首字母大写。故填The。
【62题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:这个想法从那里开始发展,自2016年以来,已有超过50个这样的化疗舒适包被送到了正在接受化疗的患者手中。根据since 2016可知,表示从过去到现在完成的动作,且主语与动词之间是被动关系,需用现在完成时的被动语态,其主语为名词复数。故填have been delivered。
【63题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:每个化疗舒适包都包含一些有助于缓解化疗过程中的身体不适的舒适物品。item是可数名词单数,空前无限定词,所以此处使用名词复数表示泛指意义。故填items。
【64题详解】
考查形容词。句意:但更重要的是,每个包为接收者提供了一点情感上的安慰。空后有名词comfort,说明横线处需用形容词,emotion的形成为emotional表示“情感上的”的意思。故填emotional。
【65题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:点击我们官方网站底部的黄色捐赠按钮,赞助一个化疗舒适包,并确保在备注中写上“化疗舒适包”。根据句意,这里表示目的,需用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to sponsor。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cool autumn morning when the school announced the annual sports day. For most students, it was a day of excitement and joy, but for me, it was just another event I wanted to avoid. I had always been the type to shy away from group activities, preferring the company of my books and thoughts.
Our class monitor, Sarah, noticed my unwillingness. She was the very image of enthusiasm and leadership, always trying to bring the class together. One day, she approached me during lunch. “Why don’t you join us for the relay race? It’ll be fun,” she said with a warm smile. I hesitated, but her persistence was hard to ignore.
The next day, Sarah organized a practice session. I unwillingly joined, feeling out of place among my more athletic classmates. As we ran, I tripped and fell, scraping (擦伤) my knee. Embarrassed, I wanted to quit, but Sarah was there in an instant, offering a hand and words of encouragement. “It’s okay, we’re a team,” she said. At this time, other fellow classmates came to encourage me. Their kindness made me feel less alone.
As the days went by, I found myself looking forward to the practices. The care and support among my classmates was infectious. I began to see the value of teamwork and the joy of shared experiences. My initial unwillingness melted away, replaced by a newfound sense of belonging.
The anticipation for the sports day filled me with excitement. I dream of the cheers, the applauding crowd, and the thrill of competition. Training hard, I longed to showcase my skills, push my limits, share and feel the joy of victory. This event was more than a game; it means a lot for me. I could not wait to be part of it!
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 day I looked forward to came eventually.

Our opponent winning narrowly, I blamed our failure on myself.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The day I looked forward to came eventually. The air buzzed with cheers as our relay team stepped onto the track. I was seized by tension and unease, my palms sweating constantly. Sarah patted me on my shoulders, giving me encouragement with an inspiring look. A sense of determination crowding in, I raised my head confidently. When the whistle blew, I dashed like an arrow. But my competitors ran rather fast. My teammates’ shouts urged me forward. What made me frustrated was that I didn’t catch up with them. I was the last one to hand over the baton.
Our opponent winning narrowly, I blamed our failure on myself. “If I’d run faster, we could have won.” I murmured, burying my head, with tears of guilt rolling down my checks. Approaching me. Sara said firmly, “We all gave our best!” The team gathered around, echoing her words. So warm was I that I felt incredibly comforted. Later, we shared snacks under a tree, encouraging each other to do it better next year. We were overwhelmed with joy, broad smiles lighting up our faces. It was then that I realized victory wasn’t just about medals; it was the courage to try and the bonds we’d built. Sports Day had taught me to cherish both.
