They’re not collecting oysters or looking for fish but fixing small baby coral to underwater frames on the ocean floor. Coral expert Huang Wen and his team have spent years planting, monitoring and surveying coral reefs (珊瑚礁) around the island, diving the waters more than 500 times as part of efforts to restore its coral reefs. As an associate professor at the School of Marine Sciences at Guangxi University, Huang developed a strong passion for coral reefs during his diving trips in Malaysia, where he discovered a lively underwater world that looked like a magical aquarium filled with colorful coral. Those trips left a lasting impression on him. “I remember my first dive underwater at Weizhou Island in 2015. I was so disappointed to find low coral coverage,” recalled Huang, explaining why he joined the university’s team to make a change. Huang said that not only are coral reefs vital for the underwater ecosystem (生态系统), but they also act as a protective barrier for natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis. “Coral reefs are the ‘Great Wall’ of the seabed, capable of resisting 70% to 90% of wave impacts. Without the protection of coral reefs, the sandy coastal rocks are easily washed away,” explained Huang. Since the 1950s, global coral reef degradation (退化) has become increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to their survival and leading to the extinction of marine life. Under Huang’s guidance, the team has successfully grown more than 10 coral species and over 50, 000 individual corals, marking great progress in their restoration efforts. Their hard work has resulted in a survival rate of over 80% for coral in the northern restoration zone, supporting thriving coral communities that attract diverse marine life. “I hope more people will join our cause to protect coral reefs,” Huang said, “In the future, our team will continue to perfect our technology and restore more damaged coral reefs. Once our experience on Weizhou Island matures, we plan to expand it to the South China Sea and even overseas.” 4. What do the volunteers dive for? A. Collecting baby coral. B. Restoring coral reefs. C. Monitoring ocean life. D. Removing waste from the sea. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Huang? A. His efforts to improve coral coverage. B. His motivation to preserve coral reefs. C. His passion for exploring marine species. D. His rich experience in diving in Malaysia. 6. Why did Huang mention the “Great Wall” in paragraph 3? A. To stress coral reefs’ key role against natural disasters. B. To show the poor survival conditions for coral reefs. C. To explain the cause of global coral reef degradation. D. To reveal ways to protect the underwater ecosystem. 7. What can we expect from Huang’s team in the future? A. They will strive to cultivate new species of coral reefs. B. They will invite volunteers to get involved in his cause. C. They will expand their restoration work to more regions. D. They will apply their technology to saving other marine animals. 【答案】4. B 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了广西大学教授黄文及其团队多年来致力于涠洲岛珊瑚礁修复工作，取得显著成果，他希望更多人加入保护珊瑚礁的事业。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第1段“They’re not collecting oysters or looking for fish but fixing small baby coral to underwater frames on the ocean floor. (他们不是在采集牡蛎或寻找鱼类，而是在海底固定小珊瑚苗到水下框架上。)”可推知，志愿者的潜水目的是修复珊瑚礁。故选B。 【5题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第2段“Those trips left a lasting impression on him. “I remember my first dive underwater at Weizhou Island in 2015. I was so disappointed to find low coral coverage,” recalled Huang, explaining why he joined the university’s team to make a change. (这些经历给他留下了深刻的印象。“我记得2015年第一次在涠洲岛潜水时，发现珊瑚覆盖率很低，非常失望，”黄回忆道，解释了他为什么加入大学的团队来做出改变。)”可推知，本段主要讲述黄文保护珊瑚礁的动机。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第3段““Coral reefs are the ‘Great Wall’ of the seabed, capable of resisting 70% to 90% of wave impacts. Without the protection of coral reefs, the sandy coastal rocks are easily washed away,” explained Huang. (“珊瑚礁是海底的“长城”，能够抵御70%到90%的波浪冲击。没有珊瑚礁的保护，沿海的沙岩很容易被冲走，”黄解释道。)”可推知，提到“长城”是为了强调珊瑚礁在抵御自然灾害中的关键作用。故选A。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第4段“Once our experience on Weizhou Island matures, we plan to expand it to the South China Sea and even overseas. (一旦我们在涠洲岛的经验成熟，我们计划将其扩展到南海甚至海外。)”可推知黄文的团队未来计划将修复工作扩展到更多地区。故选C。 C A surprisingly efficient and powerful Chinese AI model has taken the technology industry by storm. It’s called DeepSeek R1, which makes Wall Street nervous. The new AI model was developed by DeepSeek, a company that was born in 2023. R1 can nearly match the capabilities of its far more famous competitors, including OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemini — but it costs much less. The company spent just $5.6 million powering its base AI model, compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars American companies spend. But R1 gained significant attention this week when the company revealed its shockingly low cost of operation. And it is open-source, which means other companies can test and build upon the model to improve it. The DeepSeek app has been downloaded nearly 2 million times. AI development needs a lot of power and money. Meta said it would spend $65 billion this year on AI development. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said the AI industry would need even more dollars in investment to support the development of high-in-demand chips (芯片). Andreessen, who set up Andreessen Horowitz, calls DeepSeek one of the most amazing and impressive achievements that he has ever seen in a post on the Internet. If that potentially world changing power can be achieved at a significantly reduced cost, it will open up new possibilities and threats to the planet. Although the cost-saving achievement may be significant, the R1 model hasn’t yet proven it can deal with some of the extremely ambitious (耗资的) AI capabilities for industries that for now still require huge and large amounts of investment. 8. Which makes DeepSeek R1 amazing? A. Its developers. B. Its latest chips. C. Its cost-effectiveness. D. Its application fields. 9. What is Andreessen’s opinion on capabilities of DeepSeek R1? A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 10. What can be inferred about the R1 model? A. It reaches perfection. B. It is dangerous for humans. C. It still has technology bottle-neck. D. Its cost can’t go down any more. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. DeepSeek R1’s Limiting Factors B. AI’s High-cost Problem C. DeepSeek R1: Low-cost Wonder D. AI Competitors: A Big Race 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国的人工智能模型DeepSeek R1。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的“A surprisingly efficient and powerful Chinese AI model has taken the technology industry by storm. It’s called DeepSeek R1, which makes Wall Street nervous.(一款令人惊讶的高效且强大的中国人工智能模型在科技行业掀起了一场风暴。它被称为DeepSeek R1，这让华尔街感到紧张。)”以及“R1 can nearly match the capabilities of its far more famous competitors, including OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemini — but it costs much less. The company spent just $5.6 million powering its base AI model, compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars American companies spend.(R1的性能几乎可以与更知名的竞争对手相媲美，包括OpenAI的GPT-4、Meta的Llama和谷歌的Gemini，但成本却低得多。该公司仅花费了560万美元来为其基础人工智能模型提供动力，而美国公司则花费了数亿美元。)”可知，DeepSeek R1之所以令人惊叹，是因为它高效且成本低，即具有很高的成本效益。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章倒数第二段“Andreessen, who set up Andreessen Horowitz, calls DeepSeek one of the most amazing and impressive achievements that he has ever seen in a post on the Internet.(安德森（Andreessen）是安德森·霍洛维茨基金（Andreessen Horowitz）的创始人，他在互联网上的一篇帖子中称，DeepSeek是他见过的最令人惊叹和印象深刻的成就之一。)”可知，安德森对DeepSeek R1的能力持积极态度。故选A项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although the cost-saving achievement may be significant, the R1 model hasn’t yet proven it can deal with some of the extremely ambitious (耗资的) AI capabilities for industries that for now still require huge and large amounts of investment.(尽管R1模型在节约成本方面取得的成就可能非常显著，但它尚未证明自己能够应对某些对于目前仍需巨额投资的行业而言极为复杂且耗资巨大的AI能力。)”可知，R1模型尚未证明能处理某些需要巨额投资的行业需求，说明其技术仍存在瓶颈。故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段中“A surprisingly efficient and powerful Chinese AI model has taken the technology industry by storm. It’s called DeepSeek R1, which makes Wall Street nervous.(一款令人惊讶的高效且强大的中国人工智能模型在科技行业掀起了一场风暴。它被称为DeepSeek R1，这让华尔街感到紧张。)”以及“R1 can nearly match the capabilities of its far more famous competitors, including OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemini — but it costs much less.(R1的性能几乎可以与更知名的竞争对手相媲美，包括OpenAI的GPT-4、Meta的Llama和谷歌的Gemini，但成本却低得多。)”可知，文章主要介绍了DeepSeek R1这一低成本且高效能的人工智能模型。因此，C项“DeepSeek R1：低成本的人工智能奇迹”最适合作为本文的标题。故选C项。 D Like a literal breath of fresh air, so-called “micro-forests” represent a green practice, boosting the quality of life in many of the world’s polluted and overcrowded urban centers. These small areas of densely (稠密地) planted woodland trees, also known as mini-forests or pocket forests, allow communities to manage the effects of climate change in a small way, but offer enormous benefits to the environment and local people, as they restore soil, air and water quality. These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality. Significantly, mini-forests, as one of their nonprofit facilitators SUGi outlines, serve to build social bonds in communities as well, as they come together to enjoy and sustain new natural settings. They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance. According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces. Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022. Their plots are made up of 600 trees. A tree-planting program aiming to restore biodiversity and reintroduce native species, SUGi, has created 230 pocket forests in 52 cities around the world, from Toulouse in France, to Madrid in Spain, and Saint George in Romania. 12. What does the underlined word “magnet” in paragraph 2 most probably mean? A. Something artificial. B. Something simplified. C. Something innovative. D. Something appealing. 13. How do micro-forests benefit a city according to the text? A. They reduce traffic jams. B. They improve urban land use. C. They popularize sports activities. D. They ensure citizens’ privacy. 14. What is the data in paragraph 4 intended to stress? A. The fast pace of urbanization. B. The need to control populations. C. The importance of micro-forests, D. The harm caused by deforestation. 15. What is the last paragraph mainly about? A. Plans to further promote micro-forests. B. Benefits of sustaining micro-forests. C. Examples of creating micro-forests in cities. D. Policies about micro-forest preservation. 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. C 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了“微型森林”作为绿色实践对城市环境和居民生活的益处。 【12题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段中“These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality. (事实证明，这些迷你森林对各种动植物物种是magnet，为人类提供了更多了解自然的机会。随着时间的推移，它们神奇地实现了自我维持，成为重塑城市生活的一种方式。)”并结合选项可知，这些小森林吸引了很多动植物物种，所以能为人类提供了更多了解自然的机会，所以magnet在这里的意思是“有吸引力的东西”。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance. (例如，它们还可以改造和美化城市中被忽视的地块，如以前的篮球场、废弃的停车场和游乐场。)”可知，微型森林可以改善城市土地利用。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces. (根据联合国2020年《世界森林状况报告》，自1990年以来，超过4.4亿公顷的森林被用于其他用途。如今，全球一半以上的人口居住在城市地区，但接触绿色空间的机会有限。好消息是，城市中的微型森林可以为对抗森林砍伐和扩大绿色空间提供重要机会。)”可知，第四段中的数据旨在强调微型森林的重要性。故选C。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段“Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022. Their plots are made up of 600 trees. A tree-planting program aiming to restore biodiversity and reintroduce native species, SUGi, has created 230 pocket forests in 52 cities around the world, from Toulouse in France, to Madrid in Spain, and Saint George in Romania. (《欧洲新闻》详细介绍了全球范围内已经扎根的许多令人兴奋的微型森林。例如，非营利组织欧洲地球观察组织自2022年以来已经种植了285个。他们的地块由600棵树组成。一个旨在恢复生物多样性和重新引入本地物种的植树项目SUGi，已经在全球52个城市创建了230个袖珍森林，从法国的图卢兹到西班牙的马德里，再到罗马尼亚的圣乔治。)”可知，最后一段主要介绍了在城市中创建微型森林的实例。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Corrigan has spent years helping kids pull through crises.

In class, even when I knew the answer perfectly, I would lower my head, afraid to catch the teacher’s eye. Group discussions were a living nightmare (噩梦), as I was convinced that my ideas were never good enough. This lack of confidence had deeply affected my life in various aspects. One day, my English teacher, Mr. Smith, announced a school-wide English speech contest. Everyone was encouraged to take part. I was filled with fear at the thought of standing on stage in front of so many people. But Mr. Smith, with his sharp eye, seemed to have noticed my hesitation. He came to me after class and said sincerely, “Tom, I think you have great potential. This could be a chance for you to shine.” His words gently planted a small seed of hope in my heart. I decided to give it a try. I spent days writing my speech, carefully choosing every single word. Then came the practice. When I stood in front of the mirror, my hands would shake. But I didn’t give up. I practiced day and night, each time a little more bravely. Finally, the day of the contest arrived. As I stepped onto the stage, my heart was pounding so hard that I could hear it in my ears. The audience seemed like a vast ocean of eyes, all staring at me. For a moment, I froze, my mind going blank. But then, I remembered Mr. Smith's words and all the hard work I had put in. I took a deep breath and began to speak. At first, my voice was soft, but as I gradually got into the rhythm (节奏) of my speech, it grew stronger and more confident. I poured my heart and soul into every sentence, sharing my story sincerely. When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then thunderous applause (雷鸣般的掌声) filled the hall. I had done it! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 The host finally announced, “The first-prize winner is Tom!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked up to the stage on shaky legs to receive my award. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 The host finally announced, “The first-prize winner is Tom!” I stood rooted to the spot, disbelief and joy washing over me. The words echoed in my ears as if in a dream. My classmates’ cheers blended with the judges’ nods of approval, and I felt a rush of warmth prickling my eyes. Glancing at Mr. Smith, I saw him beaming, his eyes bright with pride. This wasn’t just a win — it was proof that my endless hours of practice and newfound courage had paid off. The fear that once haunted me melted away, replaced by a sense of accomplishment I’d never known. I walked up to the stage on shaky legs to receive my award. As I grasped the trophy, its weight grounded me in reality. “Thank you,” I managed, my voice steady despite the trembling. Turning to face the audience, I spoke from the heart: “Once, I was too afraid to speak up. But Mr. Smith’s belief and my own determination changed that.” The applause swelled again, and I realized confidence isn’t born overnight — it’s forged through challenges. From that day on, I vowed to embrace every opportunity, knowing that beneath my self-doubt lay a strength waiting to shine. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，本文讲述原本极度缺乏自信的作者汤姆，课堂上不敢发言，小组讨论充满恐惧。在英语老师史密斯先生的鼓励下，他参加全校英语演讲比赛。经过日夜练习，克服登台恐惧，最终在比赛中出色发挥，收获雷鸣般掌声并夺得一等奖，从此重获自信。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“主持人最终宣布：‘一等奖获得者是汤姆！’”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者意外获英语演讲比赛一等奖，在欢呼与认可中感受努力回报，重拾成就感。 ②由第二段首句内容“我双腿颤抖地走上舞台去领奖。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：作者颤抖着上台领奖，致谢时坦言蜕变缘由，悟自信源于挑战，决心把握机遇。 2续写线索：英语演讲获奖——感受努力终有回报——重拾成就感——领奖致谢——决心把握机遇 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.看见：see/catch sight of/spot ②.代替：replace/take the place of ③.意识到：realize/recognize/appreciate 情绪类①.快乐：joy/happiness/delight ②.恐惧害怕： fear/panic/fright/scare 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B On the blue ocean surrounding Weizhou Island in Guangxi, a group of volunteers are preparing to dive into the water. They’re not collecting oysters or looking for fish but fixing small baby coral to underwater frames on the ocean floor. Coral expert Huang Wen and his team have spent years planting, monitoring and surveying coral reefs (珊瑚礁) around the island, diving the waters more than 500 times as part of efforts to restore its coral reefs. As an associate professor at the School of Marine Sciences at Guangxi University Huang developed a strong passion for coral reefs during his diving trips in Malaysia, where he discovered a lively underwater world that looked like a magical aquarium filled with colorful coral. Those trips left a lasting impression on him. “I remember my first dive underwater at Weizhou Island in 2015. I was so disappointed to find low coral coverage,” recalled Huang, explaining why he joined the university’s team to make a change. Huang said that not only are coral reefs vital for the underwater ecosystem (生态系统) but they also act as a protective barrier for natural disasters such as storms and tsunamis. “Coral reefs are the ‘Great Wall’ of the seabed, capable of resisting 70% to 90% of wave impacts. Without the protection of coral reefs, the sandy coastal rocks are easily washed away,” explained Huang. Since the 1950s, global coral reef degradation (退化) has become increasingly severe, posing a significant threat to their survival and leading to the extinction of marine life. Under Huang’s guidance, the team has successfully grown more than 10 coral species and over 50, 000 individual corals, marking great progress in their restoration efforts. Their hard work has resulted in a survival rate of over 80% for coral in the northern restoration zone, supporting thriving coral communities that attract diverse marine life. “I hope more people will join our cause to protect coral reefs,” Huang said, “In the future, our team will continue to perfect our technology and restore more damaged coral reefs. Once our experience on Weizhou Island matures, we plan to expand it to the South China Sea and even overseas.” 4. What do the volunteers dive for? A. Collecting baby coral. B. Restoring coral reefs. C. Monitoring ocean life. D. Removing waste from the sea. 5. What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about Huang? A. His efforts to improve coral coverage. B. His motivation to preserve coral reefs. C. His passion for exploring marine species. D. His rich experience in diving in Malaysia. 6. Why did Huang mention the “Great Wall” in paragraph 3? A. To stress coral reefs’ key role against natural disasters. B. To show the poor survival conditions for coral reefs. C. To explain the cause of global coral reef degradation. D. To reveal ways to protect the underwater ecosystem. 7. What can we expect from Huang’s team in the future? A. They will strive to cultivate new species of coral reefs. B. They will invite volunteers to get involved in his cause. C. They will expand their restoration work to more regions. D. They will apply their technology to saving other marine animals. C A surprisingly efficient and powerful Chinese AI model has taken the technology industry by storm. It’s called DeepSeek R1, which makes Wall Street nervous. The new AI model was developed by DeepSeek, a company that was born in 2023. R1 can nearly match the capabilities of its far more famous competitors, including OpenAI’s GPT-4, Meta’s Llama and Google’s Gemini — but it costs much less. The company spent just $5.6 million powering its base AI model, compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars American companies spend. But R1 gained significant attention this week when the company revealed its shockingly low cost of operation. And it is open-source, which means other companies can test and build upon the model to improve it. The DeepSeek app has been downloaded nearly 2 million times. AI development needs a lot of power and money. Meta said it would spend $65 billion this year on AI development. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, said the AI industry would need even more dollars in investment to support the development of high-in-demand chips (芯片). Andreessen, who set up Andreessen Horowitz, calls DeepSeek one of the most amazing and impressive achievements that he has ever seen in a post on the Internet. If that potentially world changing power can be achieved at a significantly reduced cost, it will open up new possibilities and threats to the planet. Although the cost-saving achievement may be significant, the R1 model hasn’t yet proven it can deal with some of the extremely ambitious (耗资的) AI capabilities for industries that for now still require huge and large amounts of investment. 8. Which makes DeepSeek R1 amazing? A. Its developers. B. Its latest chips. C. Its cost-effectiveness. D. Its application fields. 9. What is Andreessen’s opinion on capabilities of DeepSeek R1? A. Positive. B. Uninterested. C. Doubtful. D. Negative. 10. What can be inferred about the R1 model? A. It reaches perfection. B. It is dangerous for humans. C. It still has technology bottle-neck. D. Its cost can’t go down any more. 11. Which is the best title for the text? A. DeepSeek R1’s Limiting Factors B. AI’s High-cost Problem C. DeepSeek R1: Low-cost Wonder D. AI Competitors: A Big Race D Like a literal breath of fresh air, so-called “micro-forests” represent a green practice, boosting the quality of life in many of the world’s polluted and overcrowded urban centers. These small areas of densely (稠密地) planted woodland trees, also known as mini-forests or pocket forests, allow communities to manage the effects of climate change in a small way, but offer enormous benefits to the environment and local people, as they restore soil, air and water quality. These mini-forests are proving a magnet for various animal and plant species, which offer human beings the chance to learn more about nature. Magically becoming self-sustaining over time, they are a way to make reimagined urban life a reality. Significantly, mini-forests, as one of their nonprofit facilitators SUGi outlines, serve to build social bonds in communities as well, as they come together to enjoy and sustain new natural settings. They can also regenerate and beautify neglected (被忽视的) plots in cities such as former basketball courts, and disused parking lots and playgrounds, for instance. According to the UN’s State of the World’s Forests Report from 2020, over 440 million hectares (公顷) of forest have been lost to other uses since 1990. Now, more than half of the global population lives in urban areas, but the access to green spaces is limited. The good news is that micro-forests in cities can offer an important chance to fight against deforestation and enlarge green spaces. Euro News details some of the many exciting micro-forests that have taken root globally. Nonprofit Earthwatch Europe, for instance, has planted 285 of them since 2022.

In class, even when I knew the answer perfectly, I would lower my head, afraid to catch the teacher’s eye. Group discussions were a living nightmare (噩梦), as I was convinced that my ideas were never good enough. This lack of confidence had deeply affected my life in various aspects. One day, my English teacher, Mr. Smith, announced a school-wide English speech contest. Everyone was encouraged to take part. I was filled with fear at the thought of standing on stage in front of so many people. But Mr. Smith, with his sharp eye, seemed to have noticed my hesitation. He came to me after class and said sincerely, “Tom, I think you have great potential. This could be a chance for you to shine.” His words gently planted a small seed of hope in my heart. I decided to give it a try. I spent days writing my speech, carefully choosing every single word. Then came the practice. When I stood in front of the mirror, my hands would shake. But I didn’t give up. I practiced day and night, each time a little more bravely. Finally, the day of the contest arrived. As I stepped onto the stage, my heart was pounding so hard that I could hear it in my ears. The audience seemed like a vast ocean of eyes, all staring at me. For a moment, I froze, my mind going blank. But then, I remembered Mr. Smith's words and all the hard work I had put in. I took a deep breath and began to speak. At first, my voice was soft, but as I gradually got into the rhythm (节奏) of my speech, it grew stronger and more confident. I poured my heart and soul into every sentence, sharing my story sincerely. When I finished, there was a moment of silence, and then thunderous applause (雷鸣般的掌声) filled the hall. I had done it! 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题纸相应位置作答。 The host finally announced, “The first-prize winner is Tom!” _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I walked up to the stage on shaky legs to receive my award. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
