Yao Zhihui, an experienced high-speed train electrician, is devoted to her work. No issue is not important for her to solve. “Each high-speed railcar has 19,726 wire harnesses (线束) and nearly 100,000 connection points,” said Yao, 37, who works for CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles, a high-speed train manufacturer based in Northeast China’s Jilin Province.
After graduating from Northeast Electric Power University in 2011, Yao was employed by the company. Since then, she has dealt with nearly 50 key production processes for 13types of high-speed trains and solved 76 technical issues.
At first, she wasn’t clear about the specifics of her job. She was arranged to connect train wires, which requires removing insulation (绝缘层). To accurately remove it, she practiced over 200 times every day. She and her colleagues worked within a space of less than five square meters, so she had to kneel (跪着) to work for two to three hours at a time.
Yao discovered later that despite having the same standards, the completion was quite different among workers — some wire ends had burrs (毛刺), some wire coils were out of shape. These issues might seem unimportant on the surface, but they brought safety risks to train operations. Yao spent a month thinking out a solution and created five electrical sample boards (样板). Every wire’s connection points, wiring positions and directions were shown in detail on each board. As long as wiring is done according to this standard, the quality will be ensured.
Yao has been developing her skills and improving her work, starting from upgrading blueprints, improving tools and setting standards, while also constantly summarizing the technical challenges in improving wiring efficiency, which has greatly increased production efficiency and reduced production costs in practical applications.
Yao was awarded as one of the company’s top ten outstanding young employees. “I hope to inspire more colleagues with my actions and collectively work towards creating a shining example for Chinese manufacturing,” she said.
24. What is Yao’s main job at CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles?
A. Designing advanced high-speed sample trains.
B. Managing all the company’s daily operations.
C. Connecting wires and solving technical issues.
D. Training new workers in manufacturing skills.
25. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show?
A. Yao was good at getting well with others.
B. Yao found it easy to clear the insulation of train wires.
C. Yao spared no effort to do her work well.
D. Yao learned the importance of her work at great pains.
26. What problem did Yao Zhihui find?
A. The former sample boards were not shown.
B. Not all wire connections were satisfactory.
C. The workers had a poor awareness of goals.
D There were no details in avoiding safety risks.
27. Which of the following can best describe Yao?
A. Kind and emotional. B. Creative and responsible.
C. Humorous and outgoing. D. Caring and determined.
C
Studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous (极大的) beneficial impacts in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of writing itself.
Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the advent of the typewriter in the mid 1880s, even more so due to computers. In fact, nowadays, some schools in the United States no longer require teaching handwriting as a part of the main courses. However, despite the sense that writing on paper is out of fashion, it actually has a number of very important strengths.
Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory, but it is also important for mental development. In learning to write by hand, the human brain must combine feeling, movement control, and thinking. For whatever reason, it does not do so when learning to type.
Writing by hand is good for mental health, and there are some studies that can prove it. Writing on paper can help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard. Similarly, a study from 2014 shows that compared to writing by hand, taking notes on a laptop results in a less deep absorption of the learned material. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.
These advantages actually translate to how you recall the information. In this case, writing by hand instead of typing also helps students do better on exams. Children write longer and more complex essays when they are writing by hand, compared with using a keyboard. Children usually do better writing with a pen when they write essays. They write more and faster.
The next time you want to sit down to write an email to a loved one, why not try writing a handwritten letter instead? It can be more beneficial to your brain. Plus, the personal touch of a handwritten letter can make your message even more special and memorable.
28. What does the underlined word “advent” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Rent. B. Request. C. Alarm. D. Appearance.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about handwriting?
A. Its advantages. B. Its types. C. Its development. D. Its requirements.
30. What happens when students use a laptop instead of a pen to take notes?
A. They recall more words.
B. They do better in writing essays.
C. They are less confident about their exams.
D. They have a lower understanding of the material.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To make a suggestion. B. To express thanks.
C. To honour loved ones. D. To share a personal experience.
D
A rare moss (苔藓) called takakia has adapted over hundreds of millions of years to survive the extremes of life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. And there is a team of researchers who have been studying the moss for nearly ten years. Takakia includes just two species, both of which are found only on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Takakia in this location has been buried under snow for eight months of the year, and it faced strong UV rays when it came from its snowy cover. Takakia has been developing here for over 65 million years, with the habitat increasingly becoming extreme. The researchers record how climate change has greatly changed the moss’ habitat within just a few years. And the team is surprised to find takakia’s shape in 165 million-year-old fossils (化石) , showing that genetic changes affecting the shape developed more than 165 million years ago under wildly different conditions.
Despite having hundreds of millions of years to adapt to climate change, the little moss will be ended if the global climate keeps getting warmer. Since they began taking measurements of takakia’s habitat in the early 2010s, the researchers have described an average temperature increase of almost 0.5℃ per year. Meanwhile, the glacier (冰川) near sample sites is melting at an alarming pace-around 50 meters per year. The researchers note that takakia’s populations have become significantly smaller over the study period. During the ten years, the coverage of takakia’s populations decreased by 1.6% every year, faster than that of four local common mosses — a trend they expect to continue.
“Our study shows how valuable takakia is in tracing the development of land plants. The population reduction we found is frightening,” a researcher says. “Luckily, knowing that the plant is threatened by extinction also gives us a chance to protect it. For example, we can grow it in the lab,” another researcher says. “Takakia has seen the dinosaurs come and go. It has seen us humans coming. Now we can learn something about adaptive ability and extinction from this moss.”
32. What can be inferred about takakia on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from the text?
A. Its habitat is free from snow.
B. It has been developing wildly in China.
C. It has adapted to extreme conditions for quite a time.
D. Its genes have been unchanged for millions of years.
33 What might be the main threat to takakia according to paragraph 3?
A. The rise of glacial water. B. Human harvesting.
C. The competition with the local mosses. D. Global warming.
34. What is the attitude of the two researchers in the last paragraph to takakia?
A. Curious. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Impatient.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Ancient History of Takakia B. The Unique Adaptive Ability of Takakia
C. The Threatened Survival of Takakia D. The Rapidly Increasing Population of Takakia

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。
Emma is a teacher. She is 42 years old and lives a simple and regular life. Every day, she teaches at school and takes care of her family after work. Although her life is stable, deep inside, Emma always has a desire to challenge herself and try something she has never done before.
One day, Emma’s son, Jay, came home excitedly with a flyer (宣传单) in his hand. “Mom, our school is having a parent-child mountain climbing competition, and I signed up!” Jay said with excitement.
Emma smiled and nodded, but she felt a bit uneasy inside. She hadn’t done any hard exercise for a long time, let alone a mountain climbing competition. However, Jay’s eyes were full of expectation, and Emma couldn’t say no.
“Please, Mom! Don’t refuse to do it. I know you can do it!” Jay looked at Emma seriously, his eyes showing firmness.
Emma was surprised. She never thought she would join in a mountain climbing competition, but Jay’s words gave something in her heart. “I know you can do it” reminded her of what she often said to her students in class. She realized that if she didn’t believe in herself, how could she encourage her students?
So, Emma decided to take the challenge. She made a training plan, running every morning and doing strength training at the gym every evening. At first, her body was not used to it, and she often felt very tired. But whenever she wanted to give up, Jay’s words would echo in her ears, “I know you can do it!”
Months later, the day of the mountain climbing competition finally arrived. That morning, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining. Emma, Jay, and the other participants stood at the foot of the mountain. Her legs were shaking a bit, but her eyes were firm.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Yao Zhihui, an experienced high-speed train electrician, is devoted to her work. No issue is not important for her to solve. “Each high-speed railcar has 19,726 wire harnesses (线束) and nearly 100,000 connection points,” said Yao, 37, who works for CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles, a high-speed train manufacturer based in Northeast China’s Jilin Province.
After graduating from Northeast Electric Power University in 2011, Yao was employed by the company. Since then, she has dealt with nearly 50 key production processes for 13types of high-speed trains and solved 76 technical issues.
At first, she wasn’t clear about the specifics of her job. She was arranged to connect train wires, which requires removing insulation (绝缘层). To accurately remove it, she practiced over 200 times every day. She and her colleagues worked within a space of less than five square meters, so she had to kneel (跪着) to work for two to three hours at a time.
Yao discovered later that despite having the same standards, the completion was quite different among workers — some wire ends had burrs (毛刺), some wire coils were out of shape. These issues might seem unimportant on the surface, but they brought safety risks to train operations. Yao spent a month thinking out a solution and created five electrical sample boards (样板). Every wire’s connection points, wiring positions and directions were shown in detail on each board. As long as wiring is done according to this standard, the quality will be ensured.
Yao has been developing her skills and improving her work, starting from upgrading blueprints, improving tools and setting standards, while also constantly summarizing the technical challenges in improving wiring efficiency, which has greatly increased production efficiency and reduced production costs in practical applications.
Yao was awarded as one of the company’s top ten outstanding young employees. “I hope to inspire more colleagues with my actions and collectively work towards creating a shining example for Chinese manufacturing,” she said.
24. What is Yao’s main job at CRRC Changchun Railway Vehicles?
A. Designing advanced high-speed sample trains.
B. Managing all the company’s daily operations.
C. Connecting wires and solving technical issues.
D. Training new workers in manufacturing skills.
25. What do the figures in paragraph 3 show?
A. Yao was good at getting well with others.
B. Yao found it easy to clear the insulation of train wires.
C. Yao spared no effort to do her work well.
D. Yao learned the importance of her work at great pains.
26. What problem did Yao Zhihui find?
A. The former sample boards were not shown.
B. Not all wire connections were satisfactory.
C. The workers had a poor awareness of goals.
D. There were no details in avoiding safety risks.
27. Which of the following can best describe Yao?
A. Kind and emotional. B. Creative and responsible.
C. Humorous and outgoing. D. Caring and determined.
【答案】24. C 25. C 26. B 27. B

Studies have shown that writing by hand can have enormous (极大的) beneficial impacts in terms of memory, brain development, and even the quality of writing itself.
Some might say that handwriting has become a dying art since the advent of the typewriter in the mid 1880s, even more so due to computers. In fact, nowadays, some schools in the United States no longer require teaching handwriting as a part of the main courses. However, despite the sense that writing on paper is out of fashion, it actually has a number of very important strengths.
Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory, but it is also important for mental development. In learning to write by hand, the human brain must combine feeling, movement control, and thinking. For whatever reason, it does not do so when learning to type.
Writing by hand is good for mental health, and there are some studies that can prove it. Writing on paper can help students recall material better than typing on a keyboard. Similarly, a study from 2014 shows that compared to writing by hand, taking notes on a laptop results in a less deep absorption of the learned material. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.
These advantages actually translate to how you recall the information. In this case, writing by hand instead of typing also helps students do better on exams. Children write longer and more complex essays when they are writing by hand, compared with using a keyboard. Children usually do better writing with a pen when they write essays. They write more and faster.
The next time you want to sit down to write an email to a loved one, why not try writing a handwritten letter instead? It can be more beneficial to your brain. Plus, the personal touch of a handwritten letter can make your message even more special and memorable.
28. What does the underlined word “advent” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Rent. B. Request. C. Alarm. D. Appearance.
29. What does paragraph 3 mainly tell us about handwriting?
A. Its advantages. B. Its types. C. Its development. D. Its requirements.
30. What happens when students use a laptop instead of a pen to take notes?
A. They recall more words.
B. They do better in writing essays.
C. They are less confident about their exams.
D. They have a lower understanding of the material.
31. What is the author’s purpose in writing the last paragraph?
A. To make a suggestion. B. To express thanks.
C. To honour loved ones. D. To share a personal experience.
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述了手写相较于打字在记忆、大脑发育和写作质量方面的显著优势,并建议读者尝试手写以获得更多益处。
【28题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“In fact, nowadays, some schools in the United States no longer require teaching handwriting as a part of the main courses.(事实上,如今美国的一些学校已不再将手写作为主要课程的一部分来进行教学。)”可知,有人可能会说,自从19世纪80年代中期打字机出现以来,手写已经成为一种濒临消亡的艺术,而在电脑出现后更是如此。由此可知,此处想表达的是“自从打字机出现后,手写就不如以前流行了”,advent意为“出现”。故选D。
【29题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Writing by hand is not only important for language processing and memory, but it is also important for mental development. In learning to write by hand, the human brain must combine feeling, movement control, and thinking. For whatever reason, it does not do so when learning to type.(手写不仅对语言处理和记忆很重要,而且对大脑发育也很重要。在学习手写的过程中,人类大脑必须将感觉、运动控制和思维结合起来。不管出于什么原因,在学习打字时,大脑并不会这样做。)”可知,第三段主要讲述了手写对语言处理、记忆和大脑发育的重要性,这些都是手写的优点。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Similarly, a study from 2014 shows that compared to writing by hand, taking notes on a laptop results in a less deep absorption of the learned material. This is because when using a laptop, students will often type out lectures word for word instead of processing information and rewording it in their own language.(同样,2014年的一项研究表明,与手写相比,用笔记本电脑记笔记会导致对所学材料的吸收不够深入。这是因为当使用笔记本电脑时,学生通常会逐字逐句地打出讲座内容,而不是处理信息并用他们自己的语言重新表述。)”可知,当学生使用笔记本电脑而不是笔来记笔记时,他们对材料的理解较低。故选D。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“The next time you want to sit down to write an email to a loved one, why not try writing a handwritten letter instead? It can be more beneficial to your brain. Plus, the personal touch of a handwritten letter can make your message even more special and memorable.(下次你想坐下来给心爱的人写电子邮件时,为什么不试试写一封手写信呢?这对你的大脑更有益。此外,手写信件的个人触感可以让你的信息更加特别和难忘。)”可知,作者在最后一段建议读者尝试手写信件。故选A。
D
A rare moss (苔藓) called takakia has adapted over hundreds of millions of years to survive the extremes of life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. And there is a team of researchers who have been studying the moss for nearly ten years. Takakia includes just two species, both of which are found only on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.
Takakia in this location has been buried under snow for eight months of the year, and it faced strong UV rays when it came from its snowy cover. Takakia has been developing here for over 65 million years, with the habitat increasingly becoming extreme. The researchers record how climate change has greatly changed the moss’ habitat within just a few years. And the team is surprised to find takakia’s shape in 165 million-year-old fossils (化石) , showing that genetic changes affecting the shape developed more than 165 million years ago under wildly different conditions.
Despite having hundreds of millions of years to adapt to climate change, the little moss will be ended if the global climate keeps getting warmer. Since they began taking measurements of takakia’s habitat in the early 2010s, the researchers have described an average temperature increase of almost 0.5℃ per year. Meanwhile, the glacier (冰川) near sample sites is melting at an alarming pace-around 50 meters per year. The researchers note that takakia’s populations have become significantly smaller over the study period. During the ten years, the coverage of takakia’s populations decreased by 1.6% every year, faster than that of four local common mosses — a trend they expect to continue.
“Our study shows how valuable takakia is in tracing the development of land plants. The population reduction we found is frightening,” a researcher says. “Luckily, knowing that the plant is threatened by extinction also gives us a chance to protect it. For example, we can grow it in the lab,” another researcher says. “Takakia has seen the dinosaurs come and go. It has seen us humans coming. Now we can learn something about adaptive ability and extinction from this moss.”
32. What can be inferred about takakia on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau from the text?
A. Its habitat is free from snow.
B. It has been developing wildly in China.
C. It has adapted to extreme conditions for quite a time.
D. Its genes have been unchanged for millions of years.
33. What might be the main threat to takakia according to paragraph 3?
A. The rise of glacial water. B. Human harvesting.
C. The competition with the local mosses. D. Global warming.
34. What is the attitude of the two researchers in the last paragraph to takakia?
A. Curious. B. Concerned. C. Indifferent. D. Impatient.
35. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. The Ancient History of Takakia B. The Unique Adaptive Ability of Takakia
C. The Threatened Survival of Takakia D. The Rapidly Increasing Population of Takakia
【答案】32. C 33. D 34. B 35. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述角叶藻苔在青藏高原长期适应极端环境,现因全球变暖数量锐减,生存受威胁
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“A rare moss (苔藓) called takakia has adapted over hundreds of millions of years to survive the extremes of life on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.(一种名为‘角叶藻苔’的稀有苔藓已经在数亿年的时间里适应了青藏高原极端的生存环境。)”以及第二段“Takakia has been developing here for over 65 million years, with the habitat increasingly becoming extreme.(角叶藻苔已经在这里发展了超过6500万年,其栖息地越来越极端。)”可知,角叶藻苔在相当长的一段时间里已经适应了极端条件。故选C。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Despite having hundreds of millions of years to adapt to climate change, the little moss will be ended if the global climate keeps getting warmer.(尽管有数亿年的时间来适应气候变化,但如果全球气候继续变暖,这种小苔藓将会灭绝。)”可知,对角叶藻苔的主要威胁是全球变暖。故选D。
【34题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“‘Our study shows how valuable takakia is in tracing the development of land plants. The population reduction we found is frightening,’ a researcher says.‘Luckily, knowing that the plant is threatened by extinction also gives us a chance to protect it. ’(一位研究人员说:‘我们的研究表明,角叶藻苔在追踪陆地植物的发展方面是多么有价值。我们发现的数量减少是令人恐惧的。幸运的是,知道这种植物受到灭绝的威胁也给了我们一个保护它的机会。’)”可知,研究人员认为角叶藻苔数量减少令人恐惧,并且提到要保护它,所以他们对角叶藻苔的态度是担忧的。故选B。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了角叶藻苔在青藏高原适应极端环境生存了很长时间,但是由于全球气候变暖,其栖息地发生变化,数量显著减少,面临灭绝的威胁。所以C选项The Threatened Survival of Takakia(角叶藻苔受到威胁的生存状况)符合文章主旨,可以作为最佳标题。故选C。

第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分,满分15分)
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
Two early developers of artificial intelligence (AI) have won this year’s Nobel Prize in Physics. American John Hopfield works at Princeton University and Geoffrey Hinton, ____56____ is from Canada and Britain, works at the University of Toronto. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (RSAS) honored ____57____ (they) for helping to create methods that are the basis of today’s strong machine learning.
The 76-year-old Hinton is known as the Godfather of AI because he helped develop machine learning. However, he also warned that AI might be dangerous to humans.
“The two scientists used basic ideas from statistics and physics ____58____ (design) artificial neural networks that work like memories and find ____59____ (pattern) in large data sets,” says Moons, a member of the Nobel committee. Moons adds that their research ____60____ (use) to improve physics and has also become part of people’s ____61____ (day) lives. Technologies like facial ____62____ (recognize) and language translation are used every day.
Hinton says that AI will have a big effect ____63____ our world and make productivity and health care better. He told reporters ____64____ RSAS officials that it would be like the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was a time of fast development of machines and manufacturing that ____65____ (start) more than 250 years ago in Britain.
【答案】56. who
57. them 58. to design
59. patterns
60. has been used
61. daily 62. recognition
63. on##upon
64. and 65. started
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了两位人工智能早期开发者获得今年诺贝尔物理学奖的相关情况,以及他们的研究成果和影响。
【56题详解】
考查定语从句引导词。句意:美国的约翰·霍普菲尔德在普林斯顿大学工作,来自加拿大和英国的杰弗里·辛顿在多伦多大学工作。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为Geoffrey Hinton,指人,且从句中缺少主语,所以用关系代词who引导。故填who。
【57题详解】
考查代词宾格。句意:瑞典皇家科学院表彰他们帮助创造了作为当今强大机器学习基础的方法。honor为动词,其后接代词宾格作宾语,they的宾格形式为them。故填them。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:诺贝尔委员会成员穆恩斯说:“这两位科学家利用统计学和物理学的基本思想来设计像记忆一样工作的人工神经网络,并在大数据集中寻找模式。”,此处为非谓语动词作状语,结合句意,此处表示目的,应用动词不定式作目的状语。故填to design。
【59题详解】
考查名词复数。句意同上。pattern为可数名词,空前无限定词,所以用其复数形式patterns表示泛指意义。故填patterns。
【60题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:穆恩斯补充说,他们的研究已被用于改进物理学,也已成为人们日常生活的一部分。根据语境以及并列谓语动词has also become可知,此处强调研究成果从过去到现在的应用,应用现在完成时,且research与use之间为被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,其结构为“have/has been +过去分词”,主语their research为不可数名词,所以用has been used。故填has been used。
【61题详解】
考查形容词。句意同上。此处修饰名词lives,应用形容词作定语,day的形容词形式为daily,意为“日常的”。故填daily。
【62题详解】
考查名词。句意:像面部识别和语言翻译这样的技术每天都在使用。此处作介词like的宾语,应用名词形式,recognize的名词形式为recognition,facial recognition意为“面部识别”,为固定短语。故填recognition。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:辛顿说,人工智能将对我们的世界产生重大影响,并使生产力和医疗保健更好。此处为固定搭配have an effect on/upon,意为“对……有影响”,所以用介词on或upon。故填on/upon。
【64题详解】
考查连词。句意:他告诉记者和瑞典皇家科学院官员,这将类似于工业革命。根据句意,reporters和RSAS officials为并列关系,作told的宾语,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
【65题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:工业革命是机器和制造业快速发展的时期,始于250多年前的英国。此处为定语从句的谓语动词,根据时间状语more than 250 years ago可知,动作发生在过去,应用一般过去时,start的过去式为started。故填started。

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。
Emma is a teacher. She is 42 years old and lives a simple and regular life. Every day, she teaches at school and takes care of her family after work. Although her life is stable, deep inside, Emma always has a desire to challenge herself and try something she has never done before.
One day, Emma’s son, Jay, came home excitedly with a flyer (宣传单) in his hand. “Mom, our school is having a parent-child mountain climbing competition, and I signed up!” Jay said with excitement.
Emma smiled and nodded, but she felt a bit uneasy inside. She hadn’t done any hard exercise for a long time, let alone a mountain climbing competition. However, Jay’s eyes were full of expectation, and Emma couldn’t say no.
“Please, Mom! Don’t refuse to do it. I know you can do it!” Jay looked at Emma seriously, his eyes showing firmness.
Emma was surprised. She never thought she would join in a mountain climbing competition, but Jay’s words gave something in her heart. “I know you can do it” reminded her of what she often said to her students in class. She realized that if she didn’t believe in herself, how could she encourage her students?
So, Emma decided to take the challenge. She made a training plan, running every morning and doing strength training at the gym every evening. At first, her body was not used to it, and she often felt very tired. But whenever she wanted to give up, Jay’s words would echo in her ears, “I know you can do it!”
Months later, the day of the mountain climbing competition finally arrived. That morning, the sky was blue, and the sun was shining. Emma, Jay, and the other participants stood at the foot of the mountain. Her legs were shaking a bit, but her eyes were firm.
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。
With the sound of a whistle, the competition began.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
In the end, Emma reached the top of the mountain.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
With the sound of a whistle, the competition began. Emma climbed with the crowd, her breathing becoming heavy, and her clothes soaked with sweat. But she never stopped. Whenever she felt tired, she would think of Jay’s trusting eyes and her own words of encouragement to her students. As she climbed, she met other parents who were also struggling but determined. They encouraged each other, sharing water and snacks. Emma felt a sense of community and support, which made her journey a little easier.
In the end, Emma reached the top of the mountain. Jay ran over excitedly and hugged her tightly. “Mom, you did it!” Jay’s face was full of pride. Emma smiled, her heart full of emotion. She understood that this climb was not only a physical challenge but also a spiritual one. She learned to believe in herself and not to back down in the face of difficulties. And all of this was thanks to Jay’s simple but powerful words, “I know you can do it!”
