Timeless beauty: A thousand years of dance at Dunhuang
From Qianshou Guanyin to Kalavinka, every dance breathes the spirit of the desert wind and mirrors the timeless beauty.
Qianshou Guanyin
The “Qianshou Guanyin” dance is inspired by the murals (壁画) of Dunhuang’s Mogao Cave3. With attractive movements and true-to-life staging, dancers recreate the remarkable beauty of ancient art, transporting audiences into the grand Dunhuang culture and the Silk Road-a celebration of artistic beauty and cultural combination across time.
Pipa dance
Commonly pictured in ancient Dunhuang murals, pipa dance is a perfect combination of music and movement. It first appeared in Xiyu, or the western regions, and developed quickly in the Tang Dynasty. Dancers perform while playing the pipa with classic movements like the famous “playing the pipa behind the back”.
Huxuan dance
The Huxuan dance impressed China after traveling along the ancient Silk Road. Known for its fast, powerful spins (旋转) on a small round carpet, it reached the top in the Tang Dynasty. Celebrated by poet Bai Juyi, this dance showed the enthusiasm of Xiyu people and the richness of the Tang Dynasty
Kalavinka
With origins in Buddhist art, the Kalavinka dance brings to life the mysterious bird with a human head and bird’s body from Dunhuang murals. Developing at a fast pace during the Tang Dynasty and combining Indian, Central Asian, and Chinese influences, the dance expresses admiration for beauty, faith, and cultural harmony through the ages.
1. What drives the creation of “Qianshou Guanyin”?
A. The Silk Road. B. Dunhuang murals C. The audience’s needs. D. Cultural ceremonies.
2. What is a common feature of the four dances?
A. The use of musical instruments. B. The speed of movements.
C. The combination of different cultures. D. The association with animals.
3. The passage is intended to ________.
A. introduce B. conclude C. predict D. comment
B
Davis loved nature, but growing up in a city, she had little contact with it. She fortunately found experiences that helped her be active outside beyond play.
One was a course with a vet (兽医) at the National Zoo, where she saw how a zoo kept its animals healthy and happy. She also volunteered to work with a guardian at a nature center at Rock Creek Park in Washington D. C. where she could care for their animals. She gained a new understanding of science and its impact on the natural world during a high school course on the Chesapeake Bay. These opportunities were life-changing for Davis.
“The leader of that workshop and the guardian I worked with opened the door to this idea that one could find work in the environmental field,” she said. “We went on field trips and we did role playing, addressing different issues of the Bay. We made a gumbo (秋葵汤): we studied all the organisms and of course none of the girls would eat it, but I saw how one could engage (参与) deeply and study the environment. It kind of fired up this interest for me,” she said.
When she went to college, she started studying science, but was soon drawn toward another degree — one in television and radio production. It was during a traineeship in Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s lab that she would see where her interests lay.
“I had a strong interest in storytelling, but the seed of science remained,” she said. “There were so many stories. I was constantly drawn to the human part of the research process and I think that had an influence on where I ended up.”
She went on to get a Ph.D. in ecology and moved into science education to combine the elements of storytelling into the work she did. “My research is mainly focused on engaging the public in science, involving non-scientists in the science process, and inspiring in them that same excitement I felt when I was younger,” she. said.
4. What can be learned about Davis’s experiences?
A. She volunteered to work as a guardian. B. She taught vet science at the National Zoo
C. The Bay course reshaped her view of science. D. Tending animals at nature center was hard for her.
5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Davis developed a love for nature. B. Davis realized the value of teamwork
C. Davis considered becoming a science teacher. D. Davis struggled with environmental field work.
6. Why did Davis turn to television and radio production at college?
A. She lost interest in science. B. She fell in love with media devices.
C. She was drawn to storytelling. D. She decided to work at a TV station.
7. What’s the purpose of Davis’s research on science education?
A. To train more professional scientists. B. To tell science stories to young people
C. To help non-scientists solve practical problems. D. To stimulate the public’s enthusiasm for science.
C
A soft electronic skin could allow people with prostheses (假肢) to sense pressure and temperature, helping them to more easily interact with their surroundings.
Thin and stretchable like regular skin, the electronic skin sticks to surfaces. It contains sensors to measure the outside temperature and pressure, which it sends to an implanted electrode (电极) in the brain as electrical signals. These signals vary in frequency to help the brain tell the difference between feelings like a softer touch and a firm handshake, a strawberry and an apple, or hot and cold.
It was created by researchers from Stanford University, who implanted soft e-skin electrodes into the brains of mice and recorded electrical signals from the animals’ motor cortex (大脑皮层). The animals moved their legs in response to different pressure levels the e-skin could discover. That shows it works like our natural sense of touch.
The team says the work could lead to better prosthetics and could help create robots that can feel human-like emotions. “Our dream is to make a whole hand where we have multiple sensors that can sense pressure, strain and temperature,” says Zhenan Bao, a chemical engineering professor at Stanford University. “Then we will be able to provide a true kind of feeling.”
The lack of sensory feedback is one of the main reasons people stop wearing a prosthesis, as it can leave users feeling upset. Although previous e-skins have used soft sensors to sense touch, they were forced to rely on inflexible external parts to change them into measurable electrical signals. Such systems tend to hold back people from moving freely. This new e-skin is entirely soft, which could help avoid that problem.
“The fact that the e-skin is thin and soft and uses little power makes it an exciting option for people working in the prosthetics field,” says Silvestro Micera, a medical professor in Switzerland. “We have to see it built into a real prosthesis. That’s clearly the next step.”
8. What is the function of the sensors in the e-skin?
A. To help the e-skin stick to skin B. To control movement of prostheses
C. To measure and send sensory signals. D. To provide power for brain electrodes.
9. What does the author imply in paragraph 4?
A. Robotic hands tend to respond slowly. B. E-skin will need no power in the future.
C. Robotic products will hit the market soon. D. Robots with human-like emotions are achievable.
10. What is a disadvantage of traditional e-skin?
A. It is of high risk. B. It receives weak signals.
C. It is of low quality. D. It limits free physical activity.
11. What do experts think of e-skin’s future?
A. Promising. B. Challenging. C. Uncertain. D. Risky.
D
It seems common that different people, based on their personalities, preferences and personal histories of listening to particular music, will have different experiences when enjoying a particular piece of music. Their attention to various details will vary and they might like different things about it.
But Levitin and his teammates showed in a European Journal of Neuroscience study that, from the perspective of the brain, there may be more similarities among music listeners. “Despite our unique habits in listening, the brain experiences music in a very consistent (一致的) fashion across participants (参与者).” said Daniel Abrams, lead author at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Seventeen participants who had little or no music training took part in this study. Participants listened to four symphonies by composer William Boyce. The researchers chose four symphonies because they reflect Western music but were likely to be unfamiliar to participants.
Among participants, the researchers found consistent activities. in several key brain areas, and similar brain activity patterns in different people who listen to the same music. This suggests that the participants feel the music the same way. In addition, despite personal differences, there’s a level on which they share a common experience.
One resulting theory is that these brain areas are involved in holding particular parts of a song. such as the tune, in the mind while the rest of the piece of music plays on. The results also reflect the power of music to bring people together.
“It’s not our nature to push ourselves into a crowd of 20,000 people, but for a Muse concert or a Radiohead concert we’ll do it,” Levitin said. “There’s this bonding force that comes from the music, and we don’t get that from other things.”
Further research will compare how individuals with healthy brains differ from people with brain disorders in their musical listening. “The methods that we’ve used can be applied to understand how the brain tracks sound over time,” Abrams said.
12. What is a common belief about listening to music?
A. People pay more attention to details. B. Music types shape listening experiences.
C. Personal histories determine music habits D. Appreciation of music varies among individuals.
13. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The causes of the research. B. The purpose of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The findings of the research.
14. What does the example of concerts in paragraph 6 indicate?
A. Music encourages people to move on. B. Music brings shared feelings among people
C. Music changes people’s nature for the better. D. Music has the power to control people’s lives.
15. What can we know about further research?
A. It will consider health factors first.
B. It will focus on new trends of music.
C. It will apply old methods to cure brain disorders.
D. It will compare how different brains respond to music.

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。
Followers of science news may have seen similar exciting headlines over the years, from “New super-enzyme (酶) eats plastic bottles six times faster” to “Plastic-eating bacteria could help aid global recycling efforts”. ____16____ But why do these bacteria and the enzymes we’ve engineered still fall short in handling the problem? It turns out there are a few reasons.
Plastic isn’t all the same. Many enzymes or bacteria only work for one specific kind of plastic, and much of our rubbish combines several kinds of plastic. ____17____ It’s chemically easier to break down than other types used in plastic film and food packaging. In other words, most of these solutions fail to solve our plastic problem entirely.
____18____ Often, the reactions or bacteria only work at certain temperatures, in special environments, or after extended periods of time. The harder it is to create the conditions, the less practical it is to do it widely.
They cost too much. These processes can be expensive. Further, most solutions simply break down plastic to its original chemical units, which are really only useful for creating more plastic. ____19____ One, it doesn’t reduce the amount of plastic in the world. Two, making new plastic is already really cheap.
So, for now, these technologies could really only be used within our existing recycling systems, rather than being a completely new choice. ____20____
A. This has two problems.
B. Fortunately, there’s also some good news.
C. Many solutions work under special conditions.
D. We don’t need the super bacteria to do our dirty work
E Such headlines suggest the plastic problem is nearing a solution.
F. We still have to process all the plastic we want the bacteria to eat.
G. Most recycling efforts focus on a widely used plastic called PET.

One afternoon, my friend Leo came over to me. “Hey, we’re short one ____23____,” he said. I laughed. “Me? I can’t play basketball.” “You don’t have to be great,” he replied. “You just have to ____24____.”
Unwillingly, I agreed, more out of guilt than excitement. The first ____25____ was awful. I ____26____ every shot, even ran in the wrong direction and almost quit. But then our coach, Mr. Evans, pulled me aside. “You’ve got what others forget,” he said. I looked at him, ____27____. “Heart. You keep going. You listen. That matters.”
The next few weeks, Leo ____28____ me after school, showing me how to move, pass, and shoot. I still wasn’t the best, but I felt I was ____29____.
On game day, I acted nervously at first, but soon I ____30____ what I had learnt. In the second half, I became ____31____. When Leo passed me the ball, I shot and made it. The crowd cheered. We didn’t win that day, but I had made a(n) _____32_____ before everyone. I felt like I belonged for the first time.
After the ____33____, Mr. Evans clapped me on the back. “____34____ you,” he smiled. That game taught me sometimes we discover our strength not because we ____35____, but because we dare to try.

第二节(满分25分)
52. 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。
In primary school, I had an experience that nearly turned me off reading.
My teacher, Ms. W., selected me to read aloud to the class. I took out a book about various forms of light, hoping the images I found interesting would also entertain my classmates. But when I began to read, the class was silent. My classmates stared as I struggled to pronounce some of the words.
The next time Ms. W. asked me to read aloud to the full class, I felt uncomfortable and judged. The silent stares of my classmates let me know that my second try wasn’t going any better. I got so nervous that I struggled to pronounce many of the words and read so quickly that I tripped over others. I began to hate reading out loud.
Later Ms. W. recommended me to participate in a Reading Buddy (伙伴) program. Once a week, I met with an older student and we would read together. She helped me pronounce words in a more correct way, and gave me the advice to speak louder. My reading buddy was also an attentive listener and often asked me questions about the book after I read it out aloud to her. This both challenged me and gave me confidence as we had more sessions together.
Reading out loud in a more informal setting helped me adapt to reading at a pace I was comfortable with without worrying about being judged by others. In the end, I just needed someone to push me out of my comfort zone (区域) but stay by my side for support while I took small steps.
Then came our monthly formal reading test led by Ms. W. We had to read a small excerpt (节选) from a book out loud to her, and then answer some questions. Afterward, we wrote responses to the excerpt. After each test, we found out if we were promoted to a new reading level.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was especially nervous this time as it was my first test.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
During my last year at primary school, I decided to join the program again as a helper.

Davis loved nature, but growing up in a city, she had little contact with it. She fortunately found experiences that helped her be active outside beyond play.
One was a course with a vet (兽医) at the National Zoo, where she saw how a zoo kept its animals healthy and happy. She also volunteered to work with a guardian at a nature center at Rock Creek Park in Washington D. C. where she could care for their animals. She gained a new understanding of science and its impact on the natural world during a high school course on the Chesapeake Bay. These opportunities were life-changing for Davis.
“The leader of that workshop and the guardian I worked with opened the door to this idea that one could find work in the environmental field,” she said. “We went on field trips and we did role playing, addressing different issues of the Bay. We made a gumbo (秋葵汤): we studied all the organisms and of course none of the girls would eat it, but I saw how one could engage (参与) deeply and study the environment. It kind of fired up this interest for me,” she said.
When she went to college, she started studying science, but was soon drawn toward another degree — one in television and radio production. It was during a traineeship in Scripps Institution of Oceanography’s lab that she would see where her interests lay.
“I had a strong interest in storytelling, but the seed of science remained,” she said. “There were so many stories. I was constantly drawn to the human part of the research process and I think that had an influence on where I ended up.”
She went on to get a Ph.D. in ecology and moved into science education to combine the elements of storytelling into the work she did. “My research is mainly focused on engaging the public in science, involving non-scientists in the science process, and inspiring in them that same excitement I felt when I was younger,” she. said.
4. What can be learned about Davis’s experiences?
A. She volunteered to work as a guardian. B. She taught vet science at the National Zoo
C. The Bay course reshaped her view of science. D. Tending animals at nature center was hard for her.
5. What is the main idea of paragraph 3?
A. Davis developed a love for nature. B. Davis realized the value of teamwork
C. Davis considered becoming a science teacher. D. Davis struggled with environmental field work.
6. Why did Davis turn to television and radio production at college?

A soft electronic skin could allow people with prostheses (假肢) to sense pressure and temperature, helping them to more easily interact with their surroundings.
Thin and stretchable like regular skin, the electronic skin sticks to surfaces. It contains sensors to measure the outside temperature and pressure, which it sends to an implanted electrode (电极) in the brain as electrical signals. These signals vary in frequency to help the brain tell the difference between feelings like a softer touch and a firm handshake, a strawberry and an apple, or hot and cold.
It was created by researchers from Stanford University, who implanted soft e-skin electrodes into the brains of mice and recorded electrical signals from the animals’ motor cortex (大脑皮层). The animals moved their legs in response to different pressure levels the e-skin could discover. That shows it works like our natural sense of touch.
The team says the work could lead to better prosthetics and could help create robots that can feel human-like emotions. “Our dream is to make a whole hand where we have multiple sensors that can sense pressure, strain and temperature,” says Zhenan Bao, a chemical engineering professor at Stanford University. “Then we will be able to provide a true kind of feeling.”
The lack of sensory feedback is one of the main reasons people stop wearing a prosthesis, as it can leave users feeling upset. Although previous e-skins have used soft sensors to sense touch, they were forced to rely on inflexible external parts to change them into measurable electrical signals. Such systems tend to hold back people from moving freely. This new e-skin is entirely soft, which could help avoid that problem.
“The fact that the e-skin is thin and soft and uses little power makes it an exciting option for people working in the prosthetics field,” says Silvestro Micera, a medical professor in Switzerland. “We have to see it built into a real prosthesis. That’s clearly the next step.”
8. What is the function of the sensors in the e-skin?
A. To help the e-skin stick to skin B. To control movement of prostheses
C. To measure and send sensory signals. D. To provide power for brain electrodes.
9. What does the author imply in paragraph 4?
A. Robotic hands tend to respond slowly. B. E-skin will need no power in the future.
C. Robotic products will hit the market soon. D. Robots with human-like emotions are achievable.
10. What is a disadvantage of traditional e-skin?
A. It is of high risk. B. It receives weak signals.
C. It is of low quality. D. It limits free physical activity.
11. What do experts think of e-skin’s future?
A. Promising. B. Challenging. C. Uncertain. D. Risky.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了电子皮肤的功能、工作原理、优势以及专家对其未来的看法。

It seems common that different people, based on their personalities, preferences and personal histories of listening to particular music, will have different experiences when enjoying a particular piece of music. Their attention to various details will vary and they might like different things about it.
But Levitin and his teammates showed in a European Journal of Neuroscience study that, from the perspective of the brain, there may be more similarities among music listeners. “Despite our unique habits in listening, the brain experiences music in a very consistent (一致的) fashion across participants (参与者).” said Daniel Abrams, lead author at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Seventeen participants who had little or no music training took part in this study. Participants listened to four symphonies by composer William Boyce. The researchers chose four symphonies because they reflect Western music but were likely to be unfamiliar to participants.
Among participants, the researchers found consistent activities. in several key brain areas, and similar brain activity patterns in different people who listen to the same music. This suggests that the participants feel the music the same way. In addition, despite personal differences, there’s a level on which they share a common experience.
One resulting theory is that these brain areas are involved in holding particular parts of a song. such as the tune, in the mind while the rest of the piece of music plays on. The results also reflect the power of music to bring people together.
“It’s not our nature to push ourselves into a crowd of 20,000 people, but for a Muse concert or a Radiohead concert we’ll do it,” Levitin said. “There’s this bonding force that comes from the music, and we don’t get that from other things.”
Further research will compare how individuals with healthy brains differ from people with brain disorders in their musical listening. “The methods that we’ve used can be applied to understand how the brain tracks sound over time,” Abrams said.
12. What is a common belief about listening to music?
A. People pay more attention to details. B. Music types shape listening experiences.
C. Personal histories determine music habits D. Appreciation of music varies among individuals.
13. What is paragraph 3 of the text mainly about?
A. The causes of the research. B. The purpose of the research.
C. The process of the research. D. The findings of the research.
14. What does the example of concerts in paragraph 6 indicate?
A. Music encourages people to move on. B. Music brings shared feelings among people
C. Music changes people’s nature for the better. D. Music has the power to control people’s lives.
15. What can we know about further research?
A. It will consider health factors first.
B. It will focus on new trends of music.
C. It will apply old methods to cure brain disorders.
D. It will compare how different brains respond to music.
【答案】12. D 13. C 14. B 15. D

【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“Seventeen participants who had little or no music training took part in this study. Participants listened to four symphonies by composer William Boyce. (17名几乎没有或没有接受过音乐训练的参与者参与了这项研究。参与者聆听了作曲家威廉·博伊斯的四部交响曲。)”可知,第三段主要讲研究过程。故选C项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第六段中的““It’s not our nature to push ourselves into a crowd of 20,000 people, but for a Muse concert or a Radiohead concert we’ll do it,” Levitin said. “There’s this bonding force that comes from the music, and we don’t get that from other things.” (莱维廷说:“我们的天性不是把自己挤进两万人的人群,但为了缪斯或电台司令的音乐会,我们会这么做。音乐有一种凝聚力,这是其他事物所没有的。”)”可知,音乐会的例子表明音乐能让人们产生共同感受。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Further research will compare how individuals with healthy brains differ from people with brain disorders in their musical listening. (进一步的研究将比较大脑健康者与大脑紊乱者在听音乐方面的差异。)”可知,进一步研究将比较不同大脑对音乐的反应。故选D项。

Followers of science news may have seen similar exciting headlines over the years, from “New super-enzyme (酶) eats plastic bottles six times faster” to “Plastic-eating bacteria could help aid global recycling efforts”. ____16____ But why do these bacteria and the enzymes we’ve engineered still fall short in handling the problem? It turns out there are a few reasons.
Plastic isn’t all the same. Many enzymes or bacteria only work for one specific kind of plastic, and much of our rubbish combines several kinds of plastic. ____17____ It’s chemically easier to break down than other types used in plastic film and food packaging. In other words, most of these solutions fail to solve our plastic problem entirely.
____18____ Often, the reactions or bacteria only work at certain temperatures, in special environments, or after extended periods of time. The harder it is to create the conditions, the less practical it is to do it widely.
They cost too much. These processes can be expensive. Further, most solutions simply break down plastic to its original chemical units, which are really only useful for creating more plastic. ____19____ One, it doesn’t reduce the amount of plastic in the world. Two, making new plastic is already really cheap.
So, for now, these technologies could really only be used within our existing recycling systems, rather than being a completely new choice. ____20____
A. This has two problems.
B. Fortunately, there’s also some good news.
C. Many solutions work under special conditions.
D. We don’t need the super bacteria to do our dirty work
E. Such headlines suggest the plastic problem is nearing a solution.
F. We still have to process all the plastic we want the bacteria to eat.
G. Most recycling efforts focus on a widely used plastic called PET.

【详解】考查名词。句意:我今天的演讲可能无法公正地评价人们在幕后所做的所有工作。空格处用名词作宾语,just的名词是justice,意为“公正”,是不可数名词,do justice to意为“公平对待”,故填justice。
43. ________ (belong) to no single group but to all, Just Dance unites every dance lover. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】Belonging
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:《Just Dance》不属于任何单一群体,而是属于所有人,它将每一位舞蹈爱好者团结在一起。逗号后为完整的句子,且无其它连词,因此belong应用非谓语动词形式,因其与句子主语Just Dance之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,所以应用现在分词作状语,且位于句首,首字母需大写。故填Belonging。
44. It is well-known that the Amazon rain forest is a ________ (nature) treasure.
【答案】natural
【解析】
【详解】考查形容词。句意:众所周知,亚马逊雨林是一处天然的瑰宝。根据句意和空格后的名词treasure可知,空格处应该用形容词natural作定语,修饰后面的名词。故填natural。
45. Their efforts ________ (conduct) research in the two fields finally paid off. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】to conduct
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:他们在这两个领域的研究工作最终取得了成功。名词effort后用不定式作定语是固定搭配,effort to do“……的努力/艰难的尝试”。故填to conduct。
46. ________ a certain extent, the world’s knowledge is all at our fingertips.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】To
【解析】
【分析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意:在某种程度上,世界上的知识唾手可得。根据空后的a certain extent及句意可知,此处应填to,to a certain extent表示“在某种程度上”,故填To。
47. I grew up, with the Beatles’s music ________ (accompany) me every step of the way. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】accompanying
【解析】
【详解】考查非谓语。句意:我是在披头士乐队的音乐陪伴下长大的,他们的音乐一路伴随我成长的每一步。这里考查with的复合结构,the Beatles’s music与accompany为主动关系,所以应用现在分词形式作宾补。故填accompanying。
48. So far, lots of new and modern facilities ________ (put) in place. (所给词适当形式填空)
【答案】have been put
【解析】
【详解】考查动词时态和语态。句意:到目前为止,许多新的现代化设施已经安装到位。分析句子可知,设空处为谓语动词,根据时间状语“So far”可知,句子应用现在完成时,主语“lots of new and modern facilities”与谓语动词put之间为被动关系,应用被动语态,现在完成时的被动语态结构为“have/has been + 过去分词”,主语为复数。故填have been put。
49. Teenagers who do not sleep well may experience situations ________ body development slows down, and their health suffers.(用适当的词填空)
【答案】where
【解析】
【详解】考查定语从句。句意:睡眠不好的青少年可能会经历身体发育放缓的情况,他们的健康也会受到影响。分析句子可知,空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词situations,从句缺地点状语,用关系副词where。类似用法的还有case,condition,point,stage,position等。故填where。
50. Good study habits, useful skills and a positive attitude are ________ (equal) important for high school students. (所给词的适当形式填空)
【答案】equally
【解析】
【详解】考查副词。句意:良好的学习习惯、实用的技能以及积极的态度对于高中生来说都同等重要。空格处修饰下文的形容词important作状语,应该用副词形式equally。故填equally。

52. 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。
In primary school, I had an experience that nearly turned me off reading.
My teacher, Ms. W., selected me to read aloud to the class. I took out a book about various forms of light, hoping the images I found interesting would also entertain my classmates. But when I began to read, the class was silent. My classmates stared as I struggled to pronounce some of the words.
The next time Ms. W. asked me to read aloud to the full class, I felt uncomfortable and judged. The silent stares of my classmates let me know that my second try wasn’t going any better. I got so nervous that I struggled to pronounce many of the words and read so quickly that I tripped over others. I began to hate reading out loud.
Later, Ms. W. recommended me to participate in a Reading Buddy (伙伴) program. Once a week, I met with an older student and we would read together. She helped me pronounce words in a more correct way, and gave me the advice to speak louder. My reading buddy was also an attentive listener and often asked me questions about the book after I read it out aloud to her. This both challenged me and gave me confidence as we had more sessions together.
Reading out loud in a more informal setting helped me adapt to reading at a pace I was comfortable with, without worrying about being judged by others. In the end, I just needed someone to push me out of my comfort zone (区域) but stay by my side for support while I took small steps.
Then came our monthly formal reading test led by Ms. W. We had to read a small excerpt (节选) from a book out loud to her, and then answer some questions. Afterward, we wrote responses to the excerpt. After each test, we found out if we were promoted to a new reading level.
注意:
(1) 续写词数应为150左右;
(2) 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I was especially nervous this time as it was my first test.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
During my last year at primary school, I decided to join the program again as a helper.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I was especially nervous this time as it was my first test. When I opened the book to read, I kept in mind all the tips my reading buddy had taught me, including putting emphasis on words, especially the -ed in past tense verbs. Then I answered the questions smoothly and ended the reading test. After the test, the teacher told me I seemed more confident reading aloud this time. I was officially promoted to a new reading level, unlocking a wider selection of books I could read.
During my last year at primary school, I decided to join the program again as a helper. I remembered how much the program had encouraged me and hoped to do the same for younger students. The first time I met with my assigned student, I noticed how shy and hesitant she was, and I saw my younger self in her. I tried my best to encourage her, to be the welcoming and attentive listener my younger self would have opened up to. I felt proud watching her grow. And I felt glad that I passed it on.
