For years, she had been collecting fossils (化石) on the land in Monroe County, unaware of their significant scientific value. However, her teacher, Dr. Andrew, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection. “Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew. Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various fossils, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨). “Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained. Lindsey got a research scholarship to continue her fossil-digging alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood hobby would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up fossils, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.” “The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.” 4. Why did Andrew become interested in Lindsey’s collection? A. He had a hobby of collecting fossils. B. He recognized the value of one fossil. C. He wanted to show the collection in class. D. He needed help in his study of paleontology. 5. What major discovery did Lindsey and her teacher make? A Plant fossils. B. A rare shark tooth. C. Dinosaur footprints. D. A skull of an ancient whale. 6. What do we know about Andrew and Lindsey’s project from paragraph 3? A. It’s disappointing. B. It’s impractical. C. It’s time-consuming. D. It’s money-saving. 7. What does Andrew want to express in the last paragraph? A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B. Lindsey’s possibility of becoming a paleontologist. C. The importance of attending professional meetings. D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述高中生Lindsey因在自家土地上意外发现化石，在老师Andrew的指导下开展挖掘项目，还获得研究奖学金及独特发展机会。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew.(安德鲁说：“在检查Lindsey展示的鲨鱼牙齿化石时，我很快认出了其中一个，并急于了解它的来源”)”可知，Andrew对Lindsey的收藏感兴趣是因为他认出了其中一块化石的价值。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨).(不久，他们在这片土地上有了一个特别重大的发现：一块来自3400万年前鲸鱼的大骨头！这使得两人开始了挖掘其余骨头的大工程。经过两个月的努力，他们成功找到了这只动物的颅骨)”可知，Lindsey和她的老师的重大发现是一个古代鲸鱼的颅骨。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段““Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained.(安德鲁解释说：“假设鲸鱼的所有骨头都在，我们可能需要几年时间才能把整个动物带回实验室”）”可知，Andrew和Lindsey的项目很耗时。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.”(安德鲁说：“研究员计划让Lindsey获得了科学研究的实际经验，甚至可以在专业会议上展示这项研究。对于一名高中生来说，这是一个一生只有一次的机会，在申请大学时脱颖而出，甚至可能发现一条新的职业道路”）”可知，Andrew在最后一段想表达Lindsey未来发展的独特机会。故选D项。 C Have you ever thrown old things into the bin? Yes, we all have this kind of experience, but many of us still haven’t taken part in a festival for that. In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah. What other things can we do for the environment? In Portland, Oregon, the government sets a rule for gardening with native plants across the city. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. Many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner. Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount (折扣). Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste significantly.” 8. Why is the monthly recycling festival hosted? A. To create jobs for local residents. B. To exchange second-hand materials. C. To promote sorting of recyclables. D. To change residents’ attitude to nature. 9. Which word best describes the practice of Portland? A. Fruitful. B. Fortunate. C. Costly. D. Meaningless. 10. How do New York coffee shops encourage reusable cups? A. By offering free drinks. B. By providing more coffee. C. By cutting down the price a little. D. By giving posters to customers. 11. What does the author want to stress about environmental protection? A. Advance in technologies. B. Supports from plant companies. C. Responsibilities of the government. D. Education and everyone’s participation. 【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在美国，人们如何保护环境一些做法。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah.(在加利福尼亚州的一个小镇上，社区中心每月举办一次回收节，居民们会带来各种可回收物，如旧报纸、塑料瓶和金属罐，当地志愿者也在现场指导正确的分类。此外，人们就回收利用交换意见，孩子们被教导如何将不同的材料转化为新的物品。当地居民Sarah说：“我过去常常把所有东西都放在一个垃圾桶里。但在参加了这些节日后，我明白了分类的重要性。”。)”可知，举办每月一次的回收节的目的是促进可回收物品的分类。故选C项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. Many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner.(本地植物适应当地气候，需要更少的水和更少的农药。许多家庭把传统的草坪换成了种满了花草的花园。这些花园不仅美化了社区，还为当地野生动物提供了栖息地。波特兰房主汤姆说：“我们的花园已经成为蜜蜂和蝴蝶的家园。看到它们飞来飞去真是太棒了，这都要归功于我们选择了当地的植物。”。)”可知，波特兰的实践是富有成效的。故选A项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount (折扣).(在纽约等城市，咖啡店宣传回收利用的好处，并通过提供小折扣鼓励顾客自带可重复使用的杯子。)”可知，纽约的咖啡店是通过给折扣，即把价格降低一点，来鼓励使用可重复使用的杯子。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting.(在加利福尼亚州的一个小镇上，社区中心每月举办一次回收节，居民们会带来各种可回收物，如旧报纸、塑料瓶和金属罐，当地志愿者也在现场指导正确的分类。)”和第二段中“Many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses.(许多家庭把传统的草坪换成了种满了花草的花园。)”以及第三段中“In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount (折扣). Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags.(在纽约等城市，咖啡店宣传回收利用的好处，并通过提供小折扣鼓励顾客自带可重复使用的杯子。杂货店还通过海报宣传重复使用塑料袋的好处，以促进人们使用可重复使用的塑料袋。)”可知，关于环境保护，作者想强调教育和人人参与相结合。故选D项。 D From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to misapply technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop looks like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented. A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team of scientists built a 3-D model to uncover the impacts technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years. “Spending hours looking down at your phone hurts your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance,” explained Caleb Backe, a health expert. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back bent and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (爪子),” Nikola Djordjevic, a practicing physician told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone. Some people also commented that human evolution (进化) may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative influence of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years. The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in different countries. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are out of shape due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too. 12. What does the underlined word “misapply” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Avoid. B. Overuse. C. Improve. D. Obtain. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The working theory of Mindy. B. The harm of mobile phones on health. C. The influence of the computer model. D. The proper ways of using mobile phones. 14. What does Emma look like? A. Smart. B. Flexible. C. Unhappy. D. Abnormal 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Computer Models Serve as Helpers B. Computer Games Should Be Improved C. Technology Might Change Body Shape D. Adjustment Shall Be Made to Technology 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要讲述科学家通过计算机模型预测科技滥用（如过度使用手机、电脑）对人类身体形态可能造成的负面影响，Mindy和Emma模型，分别展示800年后人类形态变化和20年后办公室人群的身体变化。 【12题详解】 词义猜测题。根据划线词上文“From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games(从每分钟查看社交媒体到沉迷于电脑游戏)”以及下文“For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop looks like a lifetime(对很多人来说，没有手机或笔记本电脑的一刻就像一辈子)”可知，“misapply technology”强调科技使用频率过高，misapply指“过度使用”，与B选项“Overuse”意思一致。故选B项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段中“Spending hours looking down at your phone hurts your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance(花几个小时低头看手机会伤到脖子并使脊椎失去平衡)”以及“The way we hold our phones can cause stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (爪子), It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm.( 我们拿手机的方式会在某些接触点造成压力，导致 ‘短信爪’，它也会影响肘部，导致手臂疼痛)”等内容，可知，这段主要讲述了手机对健康的危害。故选B项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are out of shape due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too.(Emma的背部一直弯曲，由于人们在电脑前度过的时间，她的腿也走样了。由于很少在户外和阳光下，她的皮肤也呈灰色。)”可推知，Emma看起来是不正常的。故选D项。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其根据第二段“A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team of scientists built a 3-D model to uncover the impacts technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years.(一个名为Mindy的计算机模型可能会让很多人重新思考一些问题。一组科学家构建了一个三维模型，旨在探究在不到 800 年的时间里，科技会对人类身体产生的影响。)”以及最后一段“The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in different countries. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are out of shape due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too.(研究小组根据来自不同国家的3000多名员工提到的健康问题构建了Emma。由于人们长时间坐在电脑前，Emma的背一直是弯曲的，她的腿也变形了。由于很少在户外晒太阳，她的皮肤也是灰色的。)”可知，文章主要介绍科学家通过计算机模型Mindy和Emma预测科技滥用（如过度使用手机、电脑）对人类身体形态可能造成的负面影响，对人体外形造成的改变。C选项“Technology Might Change Body Shape(科技可能改变身体形状)”符合文章主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选C项。 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。 If you ever had a thought that biking might be for you, July might be the perfect month to try it out.

Mr. Thompson, his English teacher, had encouraged him to enter the speech contest. “Your pronunciation is very good,” Mr. Thompson had said, patting him on the shoulder. But Peter knew the truth—he often forgot his lines (台词) when he spoke in public or when he was nervous. Every afternoon after class, Peter stayed in the empty classroom, practicing alone. He marked his lines with colored pens and spoke the lines to the silent walls. Sometimes he pretended Mr. Thompson was sitting in the front row, nodding approvingly. The big day finally arrived. Peter’s legs were shaking as he waited on the backstage. Through the curtains, he saw the sea of faces in the hall. Suddenly, a staff member rushed in. “We need to cut two minutes from each speech!” Peter’s heart sank—his carefully timed lines now had a gaping hole. He didn’t know what contents should be cut off. He froze there. Just at that time, Mr. Thompson appeared beside him. “Think of it as a chance to adapt to the change,” the teacher said softly. “If you don’t know what to talk about, you can TELL YOUR STORY.” But Peter’s mind went blank. When his name was called, he stumbled (跌跌撞撞) onto the stage, microphone trembling (颤抖) in his hand. The first sentence came out shakily. Then disaster. Peter forgot all his lines. The audience shifted in their seats and waited for his next sentence. With so many eyes fixed on him, his face went red and his throat tightened. He wanted to run from the stage. 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。 Just then he noticed Mr. Thompson looking at him full of expectation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Just then, he noticed Mr. Thompson looking at him full of expectation. Peter took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He remembered Mr. Thompson’s advice to tell his own story. So, he began to talk about how he had always been afraid of speaking in public, but how his teacher’s encouragement had given him the courage to try. He spoke about the countless hours he had spent practicing alone in the classroom and how much he wanted to overcome his fear. As he spoke, he felt his confidence growing. He realized that he didn’t need to stick to the exact lines he had memorized. He could share his true feelings and experiences instead. When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall. Peter looked out at the audience and saw smiles and nods of approval. He felt a wave of relief and pride wash over him. He had done it! He had faced his fear and shared his story with everyone. Mr. Thompson came backstage to congratulate him. “You did great, Peter,” he said. “You adapted to the situation and showed everyone your true self. That’s what public speaking is all about.” Peter smiled, knowing that he had learned a valuable lesson about facing challenges and being true to himself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以学校年度才艺展示为背景，讲述了主人公彼得在演讲比赛中的紧张经历，当他登上舞台时，他紧张的忘记了台词。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“就在那时，他注意到Thompson先生正满怀期待地看着他。”可知，第一段可描写彼得在台上紧张的情绪以及他如何在老师的鼓励下调整心态并开始讲述自己的故事。 ②由第二段首句内容“当他完成演讲时，大厅里响起了热烈的掌声。”可知，彼得的演讲成功了，第二段可描写观众的反应以及彼得完成演讲后的感受和感悟。 2. 续写线索：老师鼓励参加才艺表演——紧张——调整心态——讲述故事——成功完成——感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①冷静下来：calm down/settle down ②尝试：try/give it a try ③鼓励：encourage/inspire ④完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①恐惧：fear/fright ②宽慰： relief/comfort ③自信：confidence/assurance ④自豪：pride/glory 【点睛】【高分句型1】He realized that he didn’t need to stick to the exact lines he had memorized.

B Lindsey, a high school student from Alabama, is on her way to a promising career in paleontology (古生物学) due to an unexpected discovery on family property. For years, she had been collecting fossils (化石) on the land in Monroe County, unaware of their significant scientific value. However, her teacher, Dr. Andrew, a paleontologist himself, took an interest when she showed him her collection. “Upon examining the fossil shark teeth Lindsey presented, I quickly identified one and became eager to learn about its origin,” said Andrew. Lindsey guided her teacher through the rural area where she had unearthed various fossils, including shark teeth. Before long, they encountered an especially significant find on the grounds: a large bone from a 34-million-year-old whale! This led the pair to start the huge project of uncovering the rest of the bones. After two months of hard work, they’ve managed to find the animal’s skull (颅骨). “Assuming all the bones of the whale are present, it may require several years for us to have the entire animal back in the lab,” Andrew explained. Lindsey got a research scholarship to continue her fossil-digging alongside her instructor. Her enthusiasm for the project was at an all-time high, though she had never imagined a childhood hobby would lead her down this road. “We would go out and pick up fossils, but we never knew anyone that could tell us anything about them,” she recalled. “We just thought they were cool.” “The Research Fellows Program allows Lindsey to gain real-world experience in scientific research and even present that research at professional meetings,” Andrew said. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a high school student to stand out when applying to college and maybe even discover a new career path.” 4. Why did Andrew become interested in Lindsey’s collection? A. He had a hobby of collecting fossils. B. He recognized the value of one fossil. C. He wanted to show the collection in class. D. He needed help in his study of paleontology. 5. What major discovery did Lindsey and her teacher make? A. Plant fossils. B. A rare shark tooth. C. Dinosaur footprints. D. A skull of an ancient whale. 6. What do we know about Andrew and Lindsey’s project from paragraph 3? A. It’s disappointing. B. It’s impractical. C. It’s time-consuming. D. It’s money-saving. 7. What does Andrew want to express in the last paragraph? A. The unexpected joy of discovering fossils. B. Lindsey’s possibility of becoming a paleontologist. C. The importance of attending professional meetings. D. Lindsey’s unique opportunities for future development. C Have you ever thrown old things into the bin? Yes, we all have this kind of experience, but many of us still haven’t taken part in a festival for that. In a small town in California, the community center hosts a monthly recycling festival where residents bring various recyclables like old newspapers, plastic bottles, and metal cans and local volunteers are on-hand to guide the proper sorting. Moreover, people exchange ideas on recycling, and children are taught how different materials can be transformed into new items. “I used to throw everything in one bin. But after coming to these festivals, I understand the importance of sorting,” said a local resident, Sarah. What other things can we do for the environment? In Portland, Oregon, the government sets a rule for gardening with native plants across the city. Native plants are adapted to the local climate, requiring less water and fewer pesticides. Many households have replaced their traditional lawns (草坪) with gardens filled with native flowers and grasses. These gardens not only beautify the neighborhood but also provide habitats for local wildlife. “Our garden has become a home for bees and butterflies. It’s wonderful to see them flying around, and it’s all thanks to our choice of native plants,” said Tom, a Portland homeowner. Another popular environmental proposal is the use of reusable items. In cities like New York, coffee shops advertise the benefits of recycling and encourage customers to bring their own reusable cups by offering a small discount (折扣). Grocery stores also promote the use of reusable bags with posters telling people the benefits of reusing bags. A shopper, Lisa, shared, “I always carry a reusable bag with me when I go shopping. It’s a simple step, but it helps reduce plastic waste significantly.” 8. Why is the monthly recycling festival hosted? A. To create jobs for local residents. B. To exchange second-hand materials. C. To promote sorting of recyclables. D. To change residents’ attitude to nature. 9. Which word best describes the practice of Portland? A. Fruitful. B. Fortunate. C. Costly. D. Meaningless. 10. How do New York coffee shops encourage reusable cups? A. By offering free drinks. B. By providing more coffee. C. By cutting down the price a little. D. By giving posters to customers. 11. What does the author want to stress about environmental protection? A. Advance in technologies. B. Supports from plant companies. C. Responsibilities of the government. D. Education and everyone’s participation. D From checking social media every minute to being lost in computer games, we tend to misapply technology. “For many people, a moment without your phone or laptop looks like a lifetime,” the Daily Mail commented. A computer model called Mindy may make many people to think twice. A team of scientists built a 3-D model to uncover the impacts technology can have on human bodies in less than 800 years. “Spending hours looking down at your phone hurts your neck and throws your spine (脊椎) off balance,” explained Caleb Backe, a health expert. Then, the muscles in our neck need to spend extra effort to support the head, making our back bent and neck wide. “The way we hold our phones can cause stress in certain points of contact — causing text claw (爪子),” Nikola Djordjevic, a practicing physician told the team. It affects the elbows too, causing pain in the arm. That’s why Mindy has a 90-degree elbow, and her hands look like she’s always holding a mobile phone. Some people also commented that human evolution (进化) may not work this way. They believe that only features with actual benefits would be kept throughout the years. For example, features that can increase the rate of survival, instead of the negative influence of technology. However, current human lifestyles still raise concerns. A model called Emma was built by researchers to show how the way people work at their desks could change them in 20 years. The research team built Emma based on the health issues mentioned by over 3,000 workers in different countries. Emma’s back stays bent, and her legs are out of shape due to the time people spend in front of computers. With little time spent outdoors and in the sun, her skin is gray, too. 12. What does the underlined word “misapply” in paragraph 1 mean? A. Avoid. B. Overuse. C. Improve. D. Obtain. 13. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. The working theory of Mindy. B. The harm of mobile phones on health. C. The influence of the computer model. D. The proper ways of using mobile phones. 14. What does Emma look like? A. Smart. B. Flexible. C. Unhappy. D. Abnormal 15. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. Computer Models Serve as Helpers B. Computer Games Should Be Improved C. Technology Might Change Body Shape D.

Mr. Thompson, his English teacher, had encouraged him to enter the speech contest. “Your pronunciation is very good,” Mr. Thompson had said, patting him on the shoulder. But Peter knew the truth—he often forgot his lines (台词) when he spoke in public or when he was nervous. Every afternoon after class, Peter stayed in the empty classroom, practicing alone. He marked his lines with colored pens and spoke the lines to the silent walls. Sometimes he pretended Mr. Thompson was sitting in the front row, nodding approvingly. The big day finally arrived. Peter’s legs were shaking as he waited on the backstage. Through the curtains, he saw the sea of faces in the hall. Suddenly, a staff member rushed in. “We need to cut two minutes from each speech!” Peter’s heart sank—his carefully timed lines now had a gaping hole. He didn’t know what contents should be cut off. He froze there. Just at that time, Mr. Thompson appeared beside him. “Think of it as a chance to adapt to the change,” the teacher said softly. “If you don’t know what to talk about, you can TELL YOUR STORY.” But Peter’s mind went blank. When his name was called, he stumbled (跌跌撞撞) onto the stage, microphone trembling (颤抖) in his hand. The first sentence came out shakily. Then disaster. Peter forgot all his lines. The audience shifted in their seats and waited for his next sentence. With so many eyes fixed on him, his face went red and his throat tightened. He wanted to run from the stage. 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。 Just then, he noticed Mr. Thompson looking at him full of expectation. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When he finished his speech, a great round of applause filled the hall. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
