The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, tells the story of Dorian Gray, a very handsome young man who spends his life only concerned with his own pleasure, regardless of the suffering he brings to others.
The story starts with young Dorian having his portrait painted. His friend Lord Wotton talks about beauty and pleasure being the only important things in life. Fascinated by his words, Dorian wishes he could remain young and good-looking always, with his portrait growing old instead of him.
Soon afterwards, Dorian is surprised to find his wish has come true, after he meets Sybil, an innocent actress who falls in love with him. Dorian heartlessly abandons her just because she performs poorly one night. When he learns that Sybil has killed herself, Dorian finds his face in the painting has taken on a cruel look
He hides the painting away so that no one else may see it. For the next 18 years, Dorian engages in various bad things, even murdering the painter of the portrait. But he never feels guilty about the harm he is doing. His portrait ages and reveals his inner ugliness. One day, he suddenly comes to be fearful of his past crimes and wants to start a new life. But his portrait remains the same and reminds him of everything he has done. Feeling desperate, he tries to destroy the portrait with a knife, but it is he who is killed. His body is discovered, old and awful, while his portrait is young and handsome once again
In the story, what matters most to Dorian Gray is that he is good-looking, not that he has a good heart. He sacrifices his true self in pursuit of physical beauty and pleasure, which leads to his destruction (毁灭) in the end
4. What was Dorian Gray’s initial wish?
A. To gain wealth and social status. B. To remain young and handsome forever.
C. To find true love with an innocent actress. D. To become a famous painter like his friend.

A Dorian hiding the portrait away. B. Dorian having his portrait painted.
C. Lord Wotton talking about beauty and pleasure. D. Dorian abandoning Sybil who later killed herself.
6. Why does Dorian Gray try to destroy the portrait?
A. It looks old and ugly. B. It reminds him of his past crimes.
C. He fears that it will be discovered. D. His portrait looks much nicer than him.
7. What message does the novel convey according to the text?
A. True beauty comes from within and good deeds.
B. Friendship with immoral people is always dangerous.
C. Art has the power to reveal a person’s deepest secrets.
D Prioritizing physical beauty and pleasure ends in destruction.

It’s mid-afternoon and you start to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)? From a health perspective, it may be worth it. Though there is some debate over whether napping benefits everyone, research suggests naps can boost at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.
In a recent study, participants were given math problems that could be solved with an easy shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants were encouraged to take a brief nap before tackling the problems. The researchers found those who napped — and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest phase (阶段) of sleep — were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep phase had a negative effect on this creative insight. In other words, there may be a “sweet spot” of mental relaxation that clears the way for eureka (顿悟) moments.
The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have a sleep debt. Shift workers, new parents and older people with poor night-time sleep all seem to get a boost: a review of research, for example, showed that taking a nap during one’s night-shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people experienced “sleep inertia” — when you wake up but feel your mind isn’t clear until a bit later.
According to Natalie Dautovich, a psychologist at Virginia Commonwealth University, a 20-minute nap is recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia.
The short-term benefits of naps are well established, but long-term effects are a little less clear. In particular, there has been debate about whether naps are good or bad for cardiovascular (心血管) health after mixed research was published on the topic. Self-reports of how frequently people nap and for how long are unreliable; thus, working out the relationship between naps and any specific health outcome is not always simple.
8. According to the recent study, what advantage did participants gain from a very short nap?
A. They avoided sleep inertia after waking up.
B. They entered deeper sleep phases more quickly.
C. They were more likely to discover math shortcuts.
D. They solved math problems faster with known methods.
9. Who benefits most from napping based on the text?
A. Doctors working in shifts. B. Parents with more children.
C. Office workers with regular schedules. D. Older people with good night-time sleep.
10. Why does the psychologist recommend avoiding a nap between 20-60 minutes?
A. It reduces night-time sleep quality. B. It causes long-term cardiovascular risks.
C. It is most likely to result in sleep inertia. D. It fails to provide any cognitive improvement.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward the long-term effects of napping?
A. Uncertain. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
D
The world’s most populous continent, Africa, is facing a major challenge due to climate change. The rise in sea levels caused by global warming has led to more frequent and severe flooding along Africa’s coastline, which will have destructive consequences for the continent’s economic growth.
According to a new report from the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, a US Department of Defense-funded think tank, once every 40 years, the century floods are expected to start happening in Africa. This will have a significant impact on the inland economies of coastal and port cities across the continent.
Experts warn that the destruction to these cities’ infrastructure (基础设施) and services will be disastrous. In some areas, such as Ganvie in Benin’s economic capital Cotonou, homes are built on wooden poles in a coastal lagoon (潟湖), making them highly vulnerable to flooding. Local government officials in So-Ava, where Ganvie is located, say flooding has become increasingly worse in recent decades, destroying crops and freshwater fish and leaving residents without homes or income. Alexandra Bodo, another resident of Ganvie, says his livestock (牲畜) were lost to the flood and his house was filled with water. “We lose our houses and we have no money to rebuild them, so the whole family sleeps in a boat,” he said.
Communities along the coast around estuaries and coastal lagoons like Ganvie will be the first to bear the impacts. Flooding and coastal erosion (侵蚀) will also affect Africa’s ports, which play a crucial role in trade and commerce.
Economists say that not enough is being done to address this issue. They argue that much more funding should be given to support the building of infrastructure and services in affected areas, particularly with regards to slowing down climate change.
The stretch of West Africa’s coastline from Abidjan to Lagos is set to become the world’s largest cities by the end of this century, with half a billion people living there. This could have a major impact on Africa’s economy and global development if it develops poorly.
The rising sea levels caused by climate change in Africa are a serious threat to the continent’s economic growth and stability. It is essential that urgent action is taken to reduce their effects and ensure that affected communities are supported in rebuilding their lives.
12. According to the text, what is the reason for flooding in coastal areas of Africa?
A. The increase of rainfall.
B. The movement of the continents.
C. The rising sea levels caused by global warming.
D. The development of industries and transportation.
13. What did Alexandra Bodo lose due to flooding in Ganvie?
A. Freshwater sources. B. Government support.
C. His livestock and house. D. His crops and fishing boat.
14. The underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 most likely means ________.
A. resistant B. easily harmed C. well-protected D. adaptable
15. What do economists suggest to address the flooding problem in Africa?
A. Reducing international trade. B. Relocating all coastal communities.
C. Building taller houses in flood-prone areas. D. Investing more in infrastructure and climate action.

The Unseen Classroom: Why Hands-On Work Matters
In an era dominated by screens, schools are rediscovering the transformative power of manual labor. A recent study found teens spending less than 30 minutes daily on practical tasks, yet engaged in regular hands-on work showed 25% higher problem-solving skills.
____16____. Why? Physical work builds neural pathways differently than abstract learning. When students repair a bicycle or grow vegetables, they learn physics through tension and biology through soil ecosystems.
At Greenfield High, educators took action. ____17____. Instead of traditional homework, students design urban gardens or build furniture for local shelters. “Mistakes with a tool teach lessons no textbook can,” notes principal Dr. Reed.
Consider a real-world example from Seattle. A group tried to build chairs for a park. However, they discovered they’d mis-measured wood lengths. Through collaborative troubleshooting, they mastered geometry and resource management. ____18____.
The benefits extend beyond academics. ____19____. Teens report reduced anxiety after structured physical work and community projects promote empathy (同情). As one student reflected, “Sandpapering a rough table reminds you that everything — and everyone — has potential.”
Labor isn’t just about productivity; it’s about human development. ____20____. In reconnecting with the real world, we’re not just shaping materials — we’re shaping better thinkers, collaborators and citizens for tomorrow.
A. In this way, they learn through real-world failure
B. These skills translate directly to real-life challenges
C. Governments should fund school workshops urgently
D. Such initiatives require professional tools and workshops
E. Physical activities also benefit mental health significantly
F. The school integrated weekly “craft labs” into its classes
G. It shapes adaptable minds, empathetic hearts and capable hands

The Robotics Challenge
I had always enjoyed working with machines, so when my teacher announced a robot-building contest. I immediately raised my hand to join. The task was to create a robot that could follow a black line on the floor and pick up small objects along the way. The winning team would represent our school in the city — wide competition — a chance I didn’t want to miss.
My teammates were Alex, who loved computers, and Mia, who was good at fixing things. At our first meeting in the science classroom, Alex kept typing on his laptop while saying things like “We need better sensors.” and “The code must be perfect.” Mia sat quietly drawing detailed pictures of how the robot should look, but didn’t want to start building yet. After three long hours, we just talked about the robot’s name — Clutch — and didn’t make anything.
Over the next week, I tried my best to help. I stayed after school reading books about robots and writing down possible solutions in my notebook. When I excitedly showed Alex my simplest idea, he barely looked up from his computer screen. “That won’t work,” he muttered (低声嘟囔). “We need a more complex program.” Mia, surrounded by metal parts and tools, just shook her head when I asked when we could build something. “Not yet,” she said, “the design isn’t ready.”
Feeling very anxious, I made up my mind to handle everything on my own. That night, I stayed up late, working hard to build the robot by myself. However, despite all my efforts, the result was far from satisfactory — wheels that couldn’t go straight, arms that couldn’t grasp anything. I was tired and discouraged. My dad noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” he gently reminded me. “Alex and Mia have talents that can make this project shine. Don’t let them get stuck on perfection at the beginning. Get them to help you with the practical problems first.”
I thought about the difficulties we met before. I knew that perhaps perfection was not the goal we pursued. Being able to complete the task-following the line and grasping the object with the claw (爪) — was crucial.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, I called Alex and Mia together.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Finally, it came the competition day.

The Picture of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, tells the story of Dorian Gray, a very handsome young man who spends his life only concerned with his own pleasure, regardless of the suffering he brings to others.
The story starts with young Dorian having his portrait painted. His friend Lord Wotton talks about beauty and pleasure being the only important things in life. Fascinated by his words, Dorian wishes he could remain young and good-looking always, with his portrait growing old instead of him.
Soon afterwards, Dorian is surprised to find his wish has come true, after he meets Sybil, an innocent actress who falls in love with him. Dorian heartlessly abandons her just because she performs poorly one night. When he learns that Sybil has killed herself, Dorian finds his face in the painting has taken on a cruel look
He hides the painting away so that no one else may see it. For the next 18 years, Dorian engages in various bad things, even murdering the painter of the portrait. But he never feels guilty about the harm he is doing. His portrait ages and reveals his inner ugliness. One day, he suddenly comes to be fearful of his past crimes and wants to start a new life. But his portrait remains the same and reminds him of everything he has done. Feeling desperate, he tries to destroy the portrait with a knife, but it is he who is killed. His body is discovered, old and awful, while his portrait is young and handsome once again
In the story, what matters most to Dorian Gray is that he is good-looking, not that he has a good heart. He sacrifices his true self in pursuit of physical beauty and pleasure, which leads to his destruction (毁灭) in the end

C
It’s mid-afternoon and you start to feel sleepy. Should you give in to the comfort of a nap (小睡)? From a health perspective, it may be worth it. Though there is some debate over whether napping benefits everyone, research suggests naps can boost at least some people’s cognitive (认知的) performance in the short term.
In a recent study, participants were given math problems that could be solved with an easy shortcut that they weren’t told about. Some participants were encouraged to take a brief nap before tackling the problems. The researchers found those who napped — and spent even just 30 seconds in the first, lightest phase (阶段) of sleep — were 2.7 times more likely to figure out the math shortcut than those who stayed awake. But entering a deeper sleep phase had a negative effect on this creative insight. In other words, there may be a “sweet spot” of mental relaxation that clears the way for eureka (顿悟) moments.
The benefits of napping are strongest for people who have a sleep debt. Shift workers, new parents and older people with poor night-time sleep all seem to get a boost: a review of research, for example, showed that taking a nap during one’s night-shift work reduced sleepiness and improved overall performance, even if people experienced “sleep inertia” — when you wake up but feel your mind isn’t clear until a bit later.
According to Natalie Dautovich, a psychologist at Virginia Commonwealth University, a 20-minute nap is recharging, and 60 to 90 minutes of sleep can be even more restorative. The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia.
The short-term benefits of naps are well established, but long-term effects are a little less clear. In particular, there has been debate about whether naps are good or bad for cardiovascular (心血管的) health after mixed research was published on the topic. Self-reports of how frequently people nap and for how long are unreliable; thus, working out the relationship between naps and any specific health outcome is not always simple.
8. According to the recent study, what advantage did participants gain from a very short nap?
A. They avoided sleep inertia after waking up.
B. They entered deeper sleep phases more quickly.
C. They were more likely to discover math shortcuts.
D. They solved math problems faster with known methods.
9. Who benefits most from napping based on the text?
A. Doctors working in shifts. B. Parents with more children.
C. Office workers with regular schedules. D. Older people with good night-time sleep.
10. Why does the psychologist recommend avoiding a nap between 20-60 minutes?
A. It reduces night-time sleep quality. B. It causes long-term cardiovascular risks.
C. It is most likely to result in sleep inertia. D. It fails to provide any cognitive improvement.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward the long-term effects of napping?
A. Uncertain. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uninterested.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. A
【解析】

细节理解题。根据第四段中的“The nap to avoid is one lasting more than 20 minutes and less than 60 minutes, which is most likely to lead to sleep inertia.(应该避免的是持续20分钟以上、60分钟以下的小睡,这最有可能导致睡眠惯性。)”可知,心理学家建议避免20到60分钟的小睡是因为它最有可能导致睡眠惯性。故选C项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中的“The short-term benefits of naps are well established, but long-term effects are a little less clear.(小睡的短期益处已得到充分证实,但长期影响则不太明确。)”可知,作者对小睡的长期影响持不确定态度。故选A项。
D
The world’s most populous continent, Africa, is facing a major challenge due to climate change. The rise in sea levels caused by global warming has led to more frequent and severe flooding along Africa’s coastline, which will have destructive consequences for the continent’s economic growth.
According to a new report from the Africa Center for Strategic Studies, a US Department of Defense-funded think tank, once every 40 years, the century floods are expected to start happening in Africa. This will have a significant impact on the inland economies of coastal and port cities across the continent.
Experts warn that the destruction to these cities’ infrastructure (基础设施) and services will be disastrous. In some areas, such as Ganvie in Benin’s economic capital Cotonou, homes are built on wooden poles in a coastal lagoon (潟湖), making them highly vulnerable to flooding. Local government officials in So-Ava, where Ganvie is located, say flooding has become increasingly worse in recent decades, destroying crops and freshwater fish and leaving residents without homes or income. Alexandra Bodo, another resident of Ganvie, says his livestock (牲畜) were lost to the flood and his house was filled with water. “We lose our houses and we have no money to rebuild them, so the whole family sleeps in a boat,” he said.
Communities along the coast around estuaries and coastal lagoons like Ganvie will be the first to bear the impacts. Flooding and coastal erosion (侵蚀) will also affect Africa’s ports, which play a crucial role in trade and commerce.
Economists say that not enough is being done to address this issue. They argue that much more funding should be given to support the building of infrastructure and services in affected areas, particularly with regards to slowing down climate change.
The stretch of West Africa’s coastline from Abidjan to Lagos is set to become the world’s largest cities by the end of this century, with half a billion people living there. This could have a major impact on Africa’s economy and global development if it develops poorly.
The rising sea levels caused by climate change in Africa are a serious threat to the continent’s economic growth and stability. It is essential that urgent action is taken to reduce their effects and ensure that affected communities are supported in rebuilding their lives.
12. According to the text, what is the reason for flooding in coastal areas of Africa?
A. The increase of rainfall.
B. The movement of the continents.
C. The rising sea levels caused by global warming.
D. The development of industries and transportation.
13. What did Alexandra Bodo lose due to flooding in Ganvie?
A. Freshwater sources. B. Government support.
C. His livestock and house. D. His crops and fishing boat.
14. The underlined word “vulnerable” in paragraph 3 most likely means ________.
A. resistant B. easily harmed C. well-protected D. adaptable
15. What do economists suggest to address the flooding problem in Africa?
A. Reducing international trade. B. Relocating all coastal communities.
C. Building taller houses in flood-prone areas. D. Investing more in infrastructure and climate action.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍非洲因气候变化导致海平面上升,引发沿海洪水等问题及应对建议。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The rise in sea levels caused by global warming has led to more frequent and severe flooding along Africa’s coastline, which will have destructive consequences for the continent’s economic growth.(全球变暖导致的海平面上升,使得非洲沿海地区洪水更加频繁和严重,这将对非洲大陆的经济增长造成破坏性影响)”可知,非洲沿海地区洪水的原因是全球变暖导致的海平面上升。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Alexandra Bodo, another resident of Ganvie, says his livestock (牲畜) were lost to the flood and his house was filled with water.(甘维的另一位居民亚历山德拉·博多表示,他的牲畜在洪水中丢失,他的房子也被水淹没)”可知,亚历山德拉·博多因甘维的洪水失去了牲畜和房子。故选C项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“In some areas, such as Ganvie in Benin’s economic capital Cotonou, homes are built on wooden poles in a coastal lagoon (泻湖), making them highly vulnerable to flooding.(在一些地区,如贝宁经济首都科托努的甘维,房屋建在沿海泻湖的木杆上,这使得它们vulnerable to flooding)”及后文“Local government officials in So-Ava, where Ganvie is located, say flooding has become increasingly worse in recent decades, destroying crops and freshwater fish and leaving residents without homes or income.(冈维埃所在的索阿瓦地区的当地政府官员表示,近几十年来,洪水愈发严重,毁坏了农作物和淡水鱼,导致居民无家可归、失去收入来源)”可知,洪水造成很大的破坏,由此可推断,建在沿海泻湖木杆上的房屋在洪水来临时很容易受损,因此“vulnerable”意为“易受伤害的”。故选B项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“Economists say that not enough is being done to address this issue. They argue that much more funding should be given to support the building of infrastructure and services in affected areas, particularly with regards to slowing down climate change.(经济学家表示,在解决这一问题上做得还不够。他们认为,应该提供更多资金,支持受影响地区的基础设施和服务建设,特别是在减缓气候变化方面)”可知,经济学家建议为基础设施建设和气候行动投入更多资金来解决非洲的洪水问题。故选D项。

The Unseen Classroom: Why Hands-On Work Matters
In an era dominated by screens, schools are rediscovering the transformative power of manual labor. A recent study found teens spending less than 30 minutes daily on practical tasks, yet engaged in regular hands-on work showed 25% higher problem-solving skills.
____16____. Why? Physical work builds neural pathways differently than abstract learning. When students repair a bicycle or grow vegetables, they learn physics through tension and biology through soil ecosystems.
At Greenfield High, educators took action. ____17____. Instead of traditional homework, students design urban gardens or build furniture for local shelters. “Mistakes with a tool teach lessons no textbook can,” notes principal Dr. Reed.
Consider a real-world example from Seattle. A group tried to build chairs for a park. However, they discovered they’d mis-measured wood lengths. Through collaborative troubleshooting, they mastered geometry and resource management. ____18____.
The benefits extend beyond academics. ____19____. Teens report reduced anxiety after structured physical work and community projects promote empathy (同情). As one student reflected, “Sandpapering a rough table reminds you that everything — and everyone — has potential.”
Labor isn’t just about productivity; it’s about human development. ____20____. In reconnecting with the real world, we’re not just shaping materials — we’re shaping better thinkers, collaborators and citizens for tomorrow.
A. In this way, they learn through real-world failure
B. These skills translate directly to real-life challenges
C. Governments should fund school workshops urgently
D. Such initiatives require professional tools and workshops
E. Physical activities also benefit mental health significantly
F. The school integrated weekly “craft labs” into its classes

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了龟兹巷曾经破败的状况以及后来的改造项目,改造后环境变好,吸引了更多游客。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:位于萨喀萨克街道的龟兹巷是库车老城区保存最完好的街区,保留着清末和民国时期的街道布局。locate(把……安置或建造于)是非谓语动词,与逻辑主语“Qiuci Alley”之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填located。
【37题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:位于萨喀萨克街道的龟兹巷是库车老城区保存最完好的街区,保留着清末和民国时期的街道布局。“____ holds the street layout from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China”是限制性定语从句,修饰先行词block,指物,关系词将其代入从句中作主语,应用关系代词that或which引导该从句。故填that/which。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意:沿着这条1.2公里长的小巷漫步,游客们被色彩鲜艳、装饰着复杂图案的门、菱形格子窗、装饰着瓷盘的墙壁、古老的庭院和路边的花朵所吸引。提示词修饰形容词colored,用副词brightly作状语,意为“明亮地;鲜明地”。故填brightly。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:沿着这条1.2公里长的小巷漫步,游客们被色彩鲜艳、装饰着复杂图案的门、菱形格子窗、装饰着瓷盘的墙壁、古老的庭院和路边的花朵所吸引。“decorated porcelain plates”作后置定语,表示“用瓷盘装饰墙壁”,用介词with;be decorated with是固定搭配,意为“用……装饰”。故填with。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:但两年前,这里是一个道路崎岖、墙壁破败、堆满了碎片和垃圾地方。path(小路)是可数名词,根据语境,这里指很多条小路,应用复数形式。故填paths。
【41题详解】
考查冠词。句意:小巷里的大多数房子都是用木头和泥土建造的,处于年久失修的状态。in a state of是固定短语,意为“处于……的状态”。故填a。
【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:改造项目旨在清理碎片、平整道路、美化街道。clear debris、level the roads和beautify the streets是并列关系,用and连接。故填and。
【43题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:然而,并没有破坏建筑结构,而是改善了水电等基本设施,保留了原来的建筑。preserve (保留)是分句谓语动词,与主语“the original buildings”之间是被动关系,结合上下文可知,讲述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时的被动语态,主语是复数名词,谓be动词用were。故填were preserved。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:萨喀萨克街道宣传官员杨婷婷说,超过4000名居民自愿帮忙,并捐赠了盘子和自行车等珍贵物品来装饰小巷。“(decorate) the alley”是“donated cherished belongings...”的目的,用不定式作目的状语。故填to decorate。
【45题详解】
考查形容词比较级。句意:“改造前,道路崎岖不平,也没有路灯,”阿卜杜卡迪尔回忆道。“现在环境好多了,更多的游客来到我的茶馆。”根据“now”和“more tourists are coming to my teahouse”可推知,现在的环境比以前更好,用形容词比较级better表语。故填better。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 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。
The Robotics Challenge
I had always enjoyed working with machines, so when my teacher announced a robot-building contest. I immediately raised my hand to join. The task was to create a robot that could follow a black line on the floor and pick up small objects along the way. The winning team would represent our school in the city — wide competition — a chance I didn’t want to miss.
My teammates were Alex, who loved computers, and Mia, who was good at fixing things. At our first meeting in the science classroom, Alex kept typing on his laptop while saying things like “We need better sensors.” and “The code must be perfect.” Mia sat quietly drawing detailed pictures of how the robot should look, but didn’t want to start building yet. After three long hours, we just talked about the robot’s name — Clutch — and didn’t make anything.
Over the next week, I tried my best to help. I stayed after school reading books about robots and writing down possible solutions in my notebook. When I excitedly showed Alex my simplest idea, he barely looked up from his computer screen. “That won’t work,” he muttered (低声嘟囔). “We need a more complex program.” Mia, surrounded by metal parts and tools, just shook her head when I asked when we could build something. “Not yet,” she said, “the design isn’t ready.”
Feeling very anxious, I made up my mind to handle everything on my own. That night, I stayed up late, working hard to build the robot by myself. However, despite all my efforts, the result was far from satisfactory — wheels that couldn’t go straight, arms that couldn’t grasp anything. I was tired and discouraged. My dad noticed I was upset. “You can’t do this alone,” he gently reminded me. “Alex and Mia have talents that can make this project shine. Don’t let them get stuck on perfection at the beginning. Get them to help you with the practical problems first.”
I thought about the difficulties we met before. I knew that perhaps perfection was not the goal we pursued. Being able to complete the task-following the line and grasping the object with the claw (爪) — was crucial.
注意:1. 续写词数应为150个左右;2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
The next day, I called Alex and Mia together.

Finally it came the competition day.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
The next day, I called Alex and Mia together. I took a deep breath and said, “Let’s stop worrying about making it perfect and just start building.” To my surprise, they both nodded. I showed them the robot’s basic structure I had worked on alone, and instead of criticizing, Alex suggested a simple code that could help control the movement. Mia examined the claw and offered to fix the grasping problem using a better joint design. We finally started working as a team — testing, adjusting, and learning from our mistakes. Clutch slowly came to life, not perfect, but functional and ready for the competition.
Finally, it came the competition day. Clutch moved along the black line, pausing slightly but staying on track. When it reached the small objects, Mia’s improved claw picked them up smoothly. The crowd cheered as we completed the task successfully. Though we didn’t win first place, we finished strong and made our school proud. Later, Alex, Mia, and I laughed about all the late nights and arguments. We realized that teamwork, not perfection, was the key to success. And in the end, we gained something far more valuable than a trophy — trust, friendship, and the joy of building something together.
【解析】
【导语】本文围绕机器人挑战赛展开,讲述了作者与队友Alex、Mia在参与机器人搭建比赛时,起初因各自执着于完美而毫无进展,作者尝试独自完成却效果不佳,在父亲的点拨下,意识到团队合作的重要性,最终共同协作让机器人具备功能并参加比赛的故事。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
① 由第一段首句“第二天,我把亚历克斯和米娅叫到一起。”可知,第一段可描写作者召集队友后,提出放下对完美的执念、开始实际搭建的想法,队友们积极响应,各自发挥所长共同完善机器人的过程。
② 由第二段首句“终于,到了比赛那天。”可知,第二段可描写比赛当天机器人的表现,以及团队最终的比赛结果和从中得到的感悟。
