Kari Lehman can’t imagine life without the free after-school program at Beaver River School in Beaver Falls, New York. Each afternoon, her two sons, aged 7 and 11, get hands-on help with homework, a healthy snack, fun activities and chances to make friends — while she and her husband finish their workdays. “They get their homework done, move their bodies, socialize — and then our evenings are free for family time,” Lehman says. “So we can have dinner together and spend time as a family. It would actually change our lives, our family, if we didn’t have this program.”
The program at Beaver River is just one of 18 after-school programs at schools across New York, serving over 1,200 students at no cost. Each day, the first hour is for academics (学业). School-day teachers work one-on-one with children who need extra help in math, reading, or any other school subject. The second hour is for hands-on projects. Students try activities in science, cooking, art, health, and career skills while also learning teamwork and building confidence.
Last year, nearly 60% of students participating (参加) in the programs improved their math grades, around 80% of students got A’s in English exams, and close to 100% of parents reported satisfaction. In one survey of the parents of more than 700 students, 93% of parents said their children showed overall well-being because of their participation in the programs.
Beyond academics, the programs host family nights, and community events. Last year, the programs each hosted more than 25 events for families, providing opportunities for the whole family to connect with the school, with nearly 100% of attendees rating the events as effective. “The program makes us feel like we’re a part of the community by bringing the families in and helping us build relationships,” says Makenna Grunert, a mother who has two kids.
4. What do we learn from Lehman’s words?
A. Children should learn to do housework.
B. The program takes a long time every day.
C. She is quite satisfied with the program.
D. Her family seldom gather for dinner now.
5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Educators working for the program.
B. The daily class schedule of the program.
C. A hands-on project for senior students.
D. The importance of after-school programs.
6. Which is the percentage of the participating students raising their math grades last year?
A. About 60%. B. Nearly 80%. C. 93%. D. 100%.
7. Grunert believes the after-school program brings a sense of ________.
A. safety B. humour C. curiosity D. belonging
【答案】4. C 5. B 6. A 7. D

Many people in America believe that “more is better”. College students often share this idea when they use laptops in class. Laptops do allow students to do more, like engage in online activities, and access information from the Internet. In fact, students who use laptops often take many more notes than those who write by hand. Moreover, when students take notes using laptops, they tend to take notes verbatim, writing down every word the teacher says. Obviously, they believe that it is advantageous to take more complete notes that are useful for later review.
However, research by Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer shows a surprising result. Across the experiments, Mueller and Oppenheimer had students take notes in a classroom setting and then tested students on their memory for factual detail, their conceptual (概念的) understanding of the material, and their ability to generalize the information. Half of the students were instructed to take notes with a laptop, and the other half were instructed to write the notes out by hand. In each study, however, those who wrote out their notes by hand had a stronger conceptual understanding and were more successful in applying the material than those who took notes with their laptops.
What drives this unexpected finding? Writing by hand is slower and forces students to listen carefully. They must think about what is important and then summarize the information in their own words. This process makes the brain work harder and helps them understand and remember better. On the other hand, typing on a laptop is so fast that many students write everything down without thinking deeply about the lecture. This type of note-taking does not help them learn well.
The research by Mueller and Oppenheimer serves as a reminder, however, that even when technology allows us to do more in less time, it does not always foster (促进) learning. Even though laptops let students record a lot of information quickly, deep learning happens when the brain must work to choose and summarize key ideas.
8. What does the underlined word “verbatim” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Regularly. B. Nervously. C. Exactly as spoken. D. Creatively as expected.
9. What do Mueller and Oppenheimer find in their research?
A. More complete notes are very useful for later review.
B. Students who write out their notes on paper learn more.
C. College teachers increasingly turn to technology in class.
D. Students who take notes with a laptop outperform the rest.
10. What does the author focus on in paragraph 3?
A. Giving an example. B. Introducing a new topic.
C. Making a summary. D. Offering an explanation.
11. What should students do when it comes to learning according to the text?
A. Use more brain power instead of technology.
B. Produce a written record as soon as possible.
C. Have a memory test shortly after each lesson.
D. Brush up on some language points repeatedly.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要介绍了一项研究,该研究关于笔记本电脑记笔记与手写笔记对学习效果影响。
【8题详解】
词义猜测题。根据划线单词所在句“Moreover, when students take notes using laptops, they tend to take notes verbatim, writing down every word the teacher says.(此外,用笔记本电脑记笔记时,学生倾向于……记录,把老师说的每一个字都写下来。)”可推测,“verbatim”描述的是学生逐字记录老师说的每一个字的行为。选项C“Exactly as spoken(逐字地)”与此相符。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“In each study, however, those who wrote out their notes by hand had a stronger conceptual understanding and were more successful in applying the material than those who took notes with their laptops.(但每项研究都显示,手写笔记的学生对概念的理解更深刻,运用材料的能力也比用笔记本电脑记笔记的学生更强。)”可知,穆勒和奥本海默的研究发现,手写笔记的学生在概念理解和知识应用上表现更优。故选B。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第三段“What drives this unexpected finding? Writing by hand is slower and forces students to listen carefully. They must think about what is important and then summarize the information in their own words. This process makes the brain work harder and helps them understand and remember better. On the other hand, typing on a laptop is so fast that many students write everything down without thinking deeply about the lecture. This type of note-taking does not help them learn well.(是什么导致了这一意外发现?手写速度较慢,迫使学生仔细倾听。他们必须思考哪些内容重要,然后用自己的话总结信息。这一过程让大脑更努力地工作,帮助他们更好地理解和记忆。另一方面,笔记本电脑打字速度极快,许多学生不加深入思考就把所有内容记录下来。这种记笔记的方式不利于学习。)”可知,第三段以问题开头,随后从手写和打字的速度差异出发,解释了为何手写笔记能促进深度学习,而打字记录缺乏深度思考。全段围绕研究发现的原因展开,即提供了解释。故选D。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Even though laptops let students record a lot of information quickly, deep learning happens when the brain must work to choose and summarize key ideas.(尽管笔记本电脑能让学生快速记录大量信息,但深度学习发生在大脑必须努力筛选和总结关键观点之时。)”可知,作者强调深度学习需要大脑主动筛选和总结关键信息,而非依赖科技快速记录。故选A。
D
A recent study of Asian elephants in northern Cambodia shows a larger population than previously thought, raising hopes that the endangered species could slowly recover.
Researchers, with the help of the Fauna & Flora conservation group, collected samples (取样) from elephant waste in Cambodia’s northern plains and extracted (提取) DNA. From the DNA, they were able to figure out individual elephants, population size, and determine the sex of the animals and the overall genetic diversity of the population.
From their work, they discovered that there are around 51 elephants in the Prey Lang, Preah Roka, and Chhaeb Wildlife Sanctuaries, with greater genetic diversity — which helps animals stay healthy and survive longer, the researchers said — than in two other areas of the country where elephants live.
Overall, some 400 to 600 Asian elephants are believed to remain living in the wild in Cambodia. Researchers said the study’s findings underscore the potential (潜力) of the northern area studied to become a national stronghold for Asian elephants, contributing to Cambodia’s biodiversity conservation goals.
“Still, problems remain. Deforestation and habitat degradation continue to be a serious concern,” said Pablo Sinovas, director of Fauna & Flora in Cambodia. “This study provides a strong base to support conservation efforts and landscape management.”
The research was carried out in the 2020-21 dry season, but Sinovas said since elephants reproduce slowly, it is not thought that the population size would have changed significantly since then.
Researchers want to conduct similar studies elsewhere in Cambodia and in other countries, such as neighboring Vietnam where the Asian elephants face similar challenges with small populations. “We were very pleasantly surprised by the results of the project,” said Alex Ball, co-author of the study. “We now hope to apply this methodology across Cambodia and beyond, helping to build a clearer picture of Asian elephant numbers and guide efforts to stop the fall in the populations of these remarkable animals.”
12. What does the new study show about Asian elephants in northern Cambodia?
A. There is a slow growth in their populations.
B. They have a smaller population than expected.
C. Their habitats have doubled in the previous years.
D. Genetic diversity has little impact on their survival.
13. What can we infer about the northern area studied in Cambodia?
A. It is home to a new species of elephants.
B. It has been protected as a tourist attraction.
C. It has been divided into small parts since 2020.
D. It provides a valuable habitat for Asian elephants.
14. What is Sinovas’ attitude toward the study?
A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
15. What do the researchers plan to do next?
A. Post the pictures of elephants they have studied.
B. Address other challenges facing Asian elephants.
C. Work with the local villagers to build elephant parks.
D. Support the recovery of Asian elephants in other areas.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章主要报道了一项关于柬埔寨北部亚洲象数量的最新研究,提到了研究的方法、发现以及对保护工作的意义。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“A recent study of Asian elephants in northern Cambodia shows a larger population than previously thought, raising hopes that the endangered species could slowly recover.(柬埔寨北部一项关于亚洲象的最新研究显示,其种群数量比此前认为的更多,这为这种濒危物种的缓慢恢复带来了希望。)”可知,北部柬埔寨的亚洲象种群数量比此前认为的更多,且这一发现为该濒危物种的缓慢恢复带来了希望。由此可推断,其种群数量呈现出缓慢增长的趋势。故选A。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Researchers said the study’s findings underscore the potential (潜力) of the northern area studied to become a national stronghold for Asian elephants, contributing to Cambodia’s biodiversity conservation goals.(研究人员表示,该研究结果凸显了所调查的北部地区有潜力成为亚洲象的国家据点,助力柬埔寨实现生物多样性保护目标。)”可推测,该区域为亚洲象提供了有价值的栖息地。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第五段 Sinovas 的表述“This study provides a strong base to support conservation efforts and landscape management.(这项研究为支持保护工作和景观管理提供了有力依据。)”可知,他认为研究具有实际价值,对保护工作有积极推动作用。因此,其态度是肯定的。故选B。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Researchers want to conduct similar studies elsewhere in Cambodia and in other countries, such as neighboring Vietnam where the Asian elephants face similar challenges with small populations. “We were very pleasantly surprised by the results of the project,” said Alex Ball, co-author of the study. “We now hope to apply this methodology across Cambodia and beyond, helping to build a clearer picture of Asian elephant numbers and guide efforts to stop the fall in the populations of these remarkable animals.”(研究人员希望在柬埔寨其他地区及邻国越南等面临类似小种群挑战的国家开展类似研究。“我们对项目结果感到非常惊喜,”研究合著者Alex Ball说,“我们现在希望将这种方法应用于柬埔寨及其他地区,帮助更清晰地掌握亚洲象数量,并指导相关工作以遏制这些非凡动物的种群下降趋势。”)”可知,研究人员计划将该研究方法推广到柬埔寨其他地区及周边国家,以帮助掌握亚洲象数量并推动保护工作。这一行动的核心是支持其他地区亚洲象的恢复。故选D。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了在安徽省怀宁县,黄梅戏深受村民喜爱,但观众多为老人和孩子,年轻人较少。为吸引年轻观众,黄梅戏团负责人刘尝试通过网络直播平台进行表演,意外地获得了大量关注和点赞,这不仅增加了他们的线上人气,还带来了更多的线下演出机会,甚至有可能走向国际舞台。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在安徽省怀宁市的一个村庄里,一个用水泥建造的户外舞台矗立在那里。分析句子结构,此处为非谓语动词作后置定语修饰“An outdoor stage”。“stage”与 “build”之间是被动关系,即舞台是被用水泥建造的,所以用过去分词built。故填built。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:孩子们充满好奇,在舞台上爬上爬下。“full of”是固定短语,意为“充满……”,of 是介词,后面接名词,“curious” 是形容词,其名词形式是curiosity。故填curiosity。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:每次表演结束后,表演者通常会收到村民的礼物,包括从村民的树上摘来的桃子等水果。分析句子可知,设空处引导定语从句,“peaches”是先行词,指物,且在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that或which引导定语从句。故填which/that。
【39题详解】
考查固定短语。句意:这种乡村景象不同于传统歌剧院的正式气氛。“be different from”是固定短语,意为“与…… 不同”,所以此处填from。故填from。
【40题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这表明黄梅戏是人们日常生活的一部分。“lives”是名词,前面需要用形容词修饰,“day”的形容词形式是daily,“daily lives”意为“日常生活”。故填daily。
【41题详解】
考查动名词。句意:黄梅剧团团长刘说,这些演出旨在为当地人带来高质量的艺术体验。“aim at”是固定短语,意为“旨在;目的是”,其中at是介词,后面接动名词形式,所以 “bring”要变为bringing。故填bringing。
【42题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:所以去年,她尝试了一些新的东西。根据时间状语“last year”可知,句子描述的是过去发生的事情,所以用一般过去时,“try”的过去式是tried。故填tried。
【43题详解】
考查连词。句意:令人惊讶的是,在三个月内,他们的账户吸引了近60万粉丝,并收到了300万个“赞”。根据句意可知,“their account had attracted nearly 600, 000 followers”和 “received 3 million “likes””是并列关系,即他们的账号吸引了近 60 万粉丝并且获得了300 万个“赞”,所以用连词and连接。故填and。
【44题详解】
考查动词不定式。句意:在过去的一年里,队员们收到了到其他省份演出的邀请,甚至还有参加国际演出的机会。“invitations”是名词,“receive invitations to do sth.”是固定用法,意为 “收到做某事的邀请”,所以此处用动词不定式to perform作后置定语。故填to perform。
【45题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:在过去的一年里,队员们收到了到其他省份演出的邀请,甚至还有参加国际演出的机会。“opportunity”是可数名词,根据前面的“there are”可知,此处要用复数形式opportunities。故填opportunities。

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。
One morning, I sat in the back of the classroom, feeling nervous and restless. I had always been shy and hated being in the spotlight. I rarely participated in activities or spoke in class. That day, however, our teacher announced we would have a class assembly (集会) next week, and each class needed to select a student to give a short speech about the importance of honesty.
The room fell silent as my classmates looked at each other nervously. The teacher asked, “Who would like to volunteer?” She looked directly at me and I shook my head, hoping not to be chosen. But she smiled and pointed, saying, “You, Richard.” My heart raced. I wanted to say no, but I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. My face turned red and my hands were shaking, but I accepted the challenge.
After school, I still could not believe it. I rehearsed (排练) giving a speech on honesty in the empty classroom. Fear and excitement mixed inside me as I imagined all the students waiting for me. I knew it was a big challenge, but a small voice inside told me it could be a chance to change something.
The next morning, I bought a notebook and started writing the speech. I rehearsed each line in front of a mirror. My voice quivered (颤抖) at first, but slowly I gained courage. I wrote and rewrote the speech, remembering how honesty had helped me before. It felt strange but comforting to watch myself speak.
On the morning of the assembly, my knees shook backstage as I waited for my turn. Finally, the moment came and I walked up to the stage with sweaty hands but determined eyes. I took a deep breath and stepped forward. My heart was racing as I prepared to speak.
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 audience was completely silent as I spoke the first sentence.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finished the speech, all my classmates stood up and cheered.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
The audience was completely silent as I spoke the first sentence. My voice, initially weak and trembling, gradually grew stronger as I continued. I shared personal stories about honesty, how it had guided me through difficult times and taught me valuable lessons. With each word, I felt more confident, as if a new strength was flowing through me. The silence in the room was replaced by focused attention, and I could see some of my classmates nodding in agreement. I realized that I wasn’t just speaking; I was connecting with them, sharing something meaningful. The fear that had gripped me earlier faded away, replaced by a sense of purpose and fulfillment.
When I finished the speech, all my classmates stood up and cheered. The applause was thunderous, and I was overwhelmed with a mix of relief and joy. My teacher walked up to me with a big smile, patting me on the back and saying, “Well done, Richard! You really nailed it!” My classmates surrounded me, offering congratulations and words of encouragement. I felt a warmth in my heart that I had never experienced before. That day, I not only delivered a speech but also overcame my shyness and gained newfound confidence. I realized that stepping out of my comfort zone could lead to amazing experiences and personal growth. From then on, I became more active in class and participated in various activities, no longer afraid of being in the spotlight.

Kari Lehman can’t imagine life without the free after-school program at Beaver River School in Beaver Falls, New York. Each afternoon, her two sons, aged 7 and 11, get hands-on help with homework, a healthy snack, fun activities and chances to make friends — while she and her husband finish their workdays. “They get their homework done, move their bodies, socialize — and then our evenings are free for family time,” Lehman says. “So we can have dinner together and spend time as a family. It would actually change our lives, our family, if we didn’t have this program.”
The program at Beaver River is just one of 18 after-school programs at schools across New York, serving over 1,200 students at no cost. Each day, the first hour is for academics (学业). School-day teachers work one-on-one with children who need extra help in math, reading, or any other school subject. The second hour is for hands-on projects. Students try activities in science, cooking, art, health, and career skills while also learning teamwork and building confidence.
Last year, nearly 60% of students participating (参加) in the programs improved their math grades, around 80% of students got A’s in English exams, and close to 100% of parents reported satisfaction. In one survey of the parents of more than 700 students, 93% of parents said their children showed overall well-being because of their participation in the programs.
Beyond academics, the programs host family nights, and community events. Last year, the programs each hosted more than 25 events for families, providing opportunities for the whole family to connect with the school, with nearly 100% of attendees rating the events as effective. “The program makes us feel like we’re a part of the community by bringing the families in and helping us build relationships,” says Makenna Grunert, a mother who has two kids.
4. What do we learn from Lehman’s words?
A. Children should learn to do housework.
B. The program takes a long time every day.
C. She is quite satisfied with the program.
D. Her family seldom gather for dinner now.
5. What is the second paragraph mainly about?
A. Educators working for the program.
B. The daily class schedule of the program.
C. A hands-on project for senior students.
D. The importance of after-school programs.
6. Which is the percentage of the participating students raising their math grades last year?
A About 60%. B. Nearly 80%. C. 93%. D. 100%.
7. Grunert believes the after-school program brings a sense of ________.
A. safety B. humour C. curiosity D. belonging
C
Many people in America believe that “more is better”. College students often share this idea when they use laptops in class. Laptops do allow students to do more, like engage in online activities, and access information from the Internet. In fact, students who use laptops often take many more notes than those who write by hand. Moreover, when students take notes using laptops, they tend to take notes verbatim, writing down every word the teacher says. Obviously, they believe that it is advantageous to take more complete notes that are useful for later review.
However, research by Pam Mueller and Daniel Oppenheimer shows a surprising result. Across the experiments, Mueller and Oppenheimer had students take notes in a classroom setting and then tested students on their memory for factual detail, their conceptual (概念的) understanding of the material, and their ability to generalize the information. Half of the students were instructed to take notes with a laptop, and the other half were instructed to write the notes out by hand. In each study, however, those who wrote out their notes by hand had a stronger conceptual understanding and were more successful in applying the material than those who took notes with their laptops.
What drives this unexpected finding? Writing by hand is slower and forces students to listen carefully. They must think about what is important and then summarize the information in their own words. This process makes the brain work harder and helps them understand and remember better. On the other hand, typing on a laptop is so fast that many students write everything down without thinking deeply about the lecture. This type of note-taking does not help them learn well.
The research by Mueller and Oppenheimer serves as a reminder, however, that even when technology allows us to do more in less time, it does not always foster (促进) learning. Even though laptops let students record a lot of information quickly, deep learning happens when the brain must work to choose and summarize key ideas.
8. What does the underlined word “verbatim” in the first paragraph mean?
A. Regularly. B. Nervously. C. Exactly as spoken. D. Creatively as expected.
9. What do Mueller and Oppenheimer find in their research?
A. More complete notes are very useful for later review.
B. Students who write out their notes on paper learn more.
C. College teachers increasingly turn to technology in class.
D. Students who take notes with a laptop outperform the rest.
10. What does the author focus on in paragraph 3?
A. Giving an example. B. Introducing a new topic.
C. Making a summary. D. Offering an explanation.
11. What should students do when it comes to learning according to the text?
A. Use more brain power instead of technology.
B. Produce a written record as soon as possible.
C. Have a memory test shortly after each lesson.
D. Brush up on some language points repeatedly.
D
A recent study of Asian elephants in northern Cambodia shows a larger population than previously thought raising hopes that the endangered species could slowly recover.
Researchers, with the help of the Fauna & Flora conservation group, collected samples (取样) from elephant waste in Cambodia’s northern plains and extracted (提取) DNA. From the DNA, they were able to figure out individual elephants, population size, and determine the sex of the animals and the overall genetic diversity of the population.
From their work, they discovered that there are around 51 elephants in the Prey Lang, Preah Roka, and Chhaeb Wildlife Sanctuaries, with greater genetic diversity — which helps animals stay healthy and survive longer, the researchers said — than in two other areas of the country where elephants live.
Overall, some 400 to 600 Asian elephants are believed to remain living in the wild in Cambodia. Researchers said the study’s findings underscore the potential (潜力) of the northern area studied to become a national stronghold for Asian elephants, contributing to Cambodia’s biodiversity conservation goals.
“Still, problems remain. Deforestation and habitat degradation continue to be a serious concern,” said Pablo Sinovas, director of Fauna & Flora in Cambodia. “This study provides a strong base to support conservation efforts and landscape management.”
The research was carried out in the 2020-21 dry season, but Sinovas said since elephants reproduce slowly, it is not thought that the population size would have changed significantly since then.
Researchers want to conduct similar studies elsewhere in Cambodia and in other countries, such as neighboring Vietnam where the Asian elephants face similar challenges with small populations. “We were very pleasantly surprised by the results of the project,” said Alex Ball, co-author of the study. “We now hope to apply this methodology across Cambodia and beyond, helping to build a clearer picture of Asian elephant numbers and guide efforts to stop the fall in the populations of these remarkable animals.”
12. What does the new study show about Asian elephants in northern Cambodia?
A. There is a slow growth in their populations.
B. They have a smaller population than expected.
C. Their habitats have doubled in the previous years.
D. Genetic diversity has little impact on their survival.
13. What can we infer about the northern area studied in Cambodia?
A. It is home to a new species of elephants.
B. It has been protected as a tourist attraction.
C. It has been divided into small parts since 2020.
D. It provides a valuable habitat for Asian elephants.
14. What is Sinovas’ attitude toward the study?
A. Uncaring. B. Positive. C. Doubtful. D. Concerned.
15. What do the researchers plan to do next?
A. Post the pictures of elephants they have studied.
B. Address other challenges facing Asian elephants.
C. Work with the local villagers to build elephant parks.
D. Support the recovery of Asian elephants in other areas.

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。
One morning, I sat in the back of the classroom, feeling nervous and restless. I had always been shy and hated being in the spotlight. I rarely participated in activities or spoke in class. That day, however, our teacher announced we would have a class assembly (集会) next week, and each class needed to select a student to give a short speech about the importance of honesty.
The room fell silent as my classmates looked at each other nervously. The teacher asked, “Who would like to volunteer?” She looked directly at me and I shook my head, hoping not to be chosen. But she smiled and pointed, saying, “You, Richard.” My heart raced. I wanted to say no, but I could feel everyone’s eyes on me. My face turned red and my hands were shaking, but I accepted the challenge.
After school I still could not believe it. I rehearsed (排练) giving a speech on honesty in the empty classroom. Fear and excitement mixed inside me as I imagined all the students waiting for me. I knew it was a big challenge, but a small voice inside told me it could be a chance to change something.
The next morning, I bought a notebook and started writing the speech. I rehearsed each line in front of a mirror. My voice quivered (颤抖) at first, but slowly I gained courage. I wrote and rewrote the speech, remembering how honesty had helped me before. It felt strange but comforting to watch myself speak.
On the morning of the assembly, my knees shook backstage as I waited for my turn. Finally, the moment came and I walked up to the stage with sweaty hands but determined eyes. I took a deep breath and stepped forward. My heart was racing as I prepared to speak.
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 audience was completely silent as I spoke the first sentence.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finished the speech, all my classmates stood up and cheered.
