Whether you are looking for a unique cultural difference or the experience of sheer joy there is something here for everyone in this article.

On that day, the whole city turns green and many Irish make traditional bread. It is also one of the most fun days of the year, when the whole city turns into a big green party. South by Southwest (SXSW) Austin, the USA, March Founded in 1987, SXSW has been praised by music fans and the media worldwide as one of the top 10 music festivals in the world.

I had always lived in the city, and the idea of spending two months in a place where life moved at a slower pace was both exciting and intimidating. Little did I know, this experience would change my perspective on life and help me grow in ways I never expected. The community center served as a hub (中心) for local activities, offering after-school programs for children, English classes for adults, and support for elderly residents. My main role was to assist with the children’s programs. Every morning, I helped organize games, art projects, and reading sessions. At first, I struggled to connect with the kids. Many of them were shy, and I felt unsure of how to engage them. But over time, I learned to be patient and creative. I started using storytelling and hands-on activities to capture their attention, and soon, the classroom was filled with laughter and enthusiasm. One of the most memorable moments was when a young girl named Lily, who had barely spoken a word during the first week, finally opened up. She shared her dream of becoming a teacher and even helped me lead a reading session. Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have. By the end of the summer, I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself. I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds, and appreciate the simple joys of life. This experience inspired me to continue volunteering and to approach challenges with a more open mind. 4. What was the author’s primary role at the community center? A. Teaching English to adults. B. Helping with children’s programs. C. Supporting for elderly residents. D. Offering after-school programs for children. 5. What did the author do to connect with the children? A. He gave them gifts. B. He became more patient and creative. C. He organized daily games and art projects. D. He employed storytelling and practical activities. 6. How did the author feel about Lily’s progress? A. Excited. B. Pleased. C. Fulfilled. D. Relaxed. 7. What can we learn about the author’s personal growth from the last paragraph? A. Gained self-awareness and adaptability. B. Developed a focus on technical expertise. C. Strengthened commitment to community service. D. Prioritized academic achievements over experiences. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者去年夏天在乡村社区中心做志愿者的经历。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“My main role was to assist with the children’s programs. (我的主要职责是协助开展儿童项目。)”可知，作者在社区中心的主要角色是协助儿童项目。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But over time, I learned to be patient and creative. I started using storytelling and hands on activities to capture their attention (但随着时间的推移，我学会了要有耐心和创造力。我开始用讲故事和实践活动来吸引他们的注意力)”可知，作者通过采用讲故事和实践活动的方式来与孩子们建立联系。故选D项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have. (看到她的信心不断增长，我感到无比有成就感，也让我想起了微小的行动所能产生的影响。)”可知，作者对Lily的进步感到有成就感(fulfilled)。故选C项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段中“By the end of the summer, I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself. I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations (到夏天结束时，我不仅发展了新技能，还对自己有了更深刻的认识。我学会了适应陌生的环境)”可知，作者获得了自我认知和适应能力。故选A项。 C If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life. 8. What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text? A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility. 9. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text? A. They explore mysteries of life. B. They spark emotional responses. C. They enhance physical well-being. D. They offer a getaway from daily life. 10. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Barriers to combine the arts and life. B. Benefits of engaging with the arts. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Arts Journey: Refreshing Soul B. The Arts Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full C. Embracing the Arts: From Luxury to Necessity D. Connecting with the Arts: From Reality to Fantasy 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. D 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讲述了人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术，但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed.(这种不匹配可以归结为一个事实，即我们被日常责任压得喘不过气来，使得我们的日程安排得很满)”可知，是缺少时间阻止了人们享受艺术。故选C。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air.(想想你听到一首音乐想哭的时候。或者，当你从一个陌生城市的狭窄小巷中走出来时，你可能会感到头晕目眩。在那里，你发现自己置身于一个美丽的城市广场，仿佛置身于幻想之中。它们可能刺激了突然的觉醒，就像在吸入烟雾弥漫的空气后，吸入满满一口纯氧所带来的震撼一样)”可知，艺术能激起情感反应。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life.(然后制定一个你的艺术接触之旅的时间表，逐渐把艺术融入你的日常生活)”可推知，下文可能会讲述把艺术融入日常生活的方法。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据最后一段中“If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity.(如果你觉得艺术是一种纯粹的乐趣，可以去体验和参与，那么你可能会把它们视为奢侈品，而更好的态度是把艺术不那么看作是一种分散注意力的乐趣，而更多地看作是锻炼或睡眠，是一种必需品)”，并结合文章主要讲述了人们因日常责任而缺少时间享受艺术，但应将艺术视为必需品融入生活。可知，C选项“拥抱艺术：从奢侈品到必需品”最符合文章标题。故选C。 D Cortisol (皮质醇), often referred to as the “stress hormone (激素),” plays a crucial role in managing our body’s stress response. Recent discussions on platforms like TikTok have contributed to a widespread misinterpretation that imbalances in cortisol levels are directly responsible for a range of health problems, such as loose skin, sleep disturbances, and digestive issues. As highlighted by experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University, the relationship between cortisol levels and various physical symptoms is complex and not entirely straightforward. Cortisol is released by the adrenal glands in response to various stressors, whether they are psychological, such as receiving an unsettling work email, or physical, like encountering a bear during a hike. This hormone helps in regulating energy supply and metabolism (新陈代谢), with its levels typically peaking in the early morning and decreasing as the day progresses. However, long-term stress can disturb this natural rhythm, resulting in continuously high cortisol levels. Such sustained high levels of cortisol can have adverse effects on health, including a weakened immune system, high blood sugar levels, and mental health issues such as depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In severe cases, too much cortisol production can lead to Cushing’s syndrome, a condition that causes significant physical changes and requires medical treatment. Given the dynamic nature of cortisol, assessing cortisol-related problems accurately often requires professional evaluation. Home testing for cortisol may not produce reliable results, emphasizing the need for consultation with healthcare professionals for a comprehensive assessment. While managing cortisol levels effectively does not involve a single universal solution, research has shown that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can be beneficial in regulating the body’s stress response. These activities not only help in reducing immediate stress but also contribute to training the body to handle stress more efficiently over time. In summary, while cortisol plays a key part in how our body manages stress and overall functioning, linking many health issues only to cortisol imbalances overlooks the complex interplay between hormones, stress, and health. Adopting a holistic approach to health, which includes seeking professional advice and developing personalized stress management strategies, is crucial for maintaining well-being. 12. What can we know about cortisol? A. Its level always remains stable. B It has no impact on physical well-being. C. It is directly responsible for sleep disorders. D. Its role has been wrongly interpreted on TikTok. 13. What can be inferred from Paragraph 3? A. Stress management depends on mindfulness. B. Regular exercise guarantees lower cortisol levels. C. Home testing for cortisol is highly recommended. D. Measuring cortisol accurately involves medical tests. 14. What does the underlined word “holistic” mean in the last paragraph? A. Comprehensive. B. Immediate. C. Physical. D. Medical. 15. Where is this text most likely from? A. A book review. B. A scientific paper. C. A health magazine. D. An educational guide. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章通过解释皮质醇在人体中的作用，以及其与各种健康问题之间的复杂关系，向读者普及了关于皮质醇的科学知识。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Recent discussions on platforms like TikTok have contributed to a widespread misinterpretation that imbalances in cortisol levels are directly responsible for a range of health problems, such as loose skin, sleep disturbances, and digestive issues.(近期，TikTok等平台上的讨论导致了一种广泛的误解，即皮质醇水平失衡是导致一系列健康问题（如皮肤松弛、睡眠障碍和消化问题）的直接原因。)”可知，皮质醇在TikTok上被错误解读为是多种健康问题的直接原因，也就是说TikTok等平台上的讨论导致了对皮质醇的广泛误解。故选D。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段“Given the dynamic nature of cortisol, assessing cortisol-related problems accurately often requires professional evaluation. Home testing for cortisol may not produce reliable results, emphasizing the need for consultation with healthcare professionals for a comprehensive assessment. While managing cortisol levels effectively does not involve a single universal solution, research has shown that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can be beneficial in regulating the body’s stress response.(鉴于皮质醇的动态特性，准确评估皮质醇相关问题通常需要专业评估。家庭皮质醇测试可能无法产生可靠结果，这强调了与医疗保健专业人员进行全面评估的必要性。虽然有效管理皮质醇水平没有单一的通用解决方案，但研究表明，瑜伽、正念和适度运动等做法有助于调节身体的应激反应。)”可知，由于皮质醇的动态特性，准确评估与皮质醇相关的问题通常需要专业评估。也就是说准确测量皮质醇水平可能需要医学检查。故选D。 【14题详解】 词义猜测题。根据最后一段划线单词下文“which includes seeking professional advice and developing personalized stress management strategies(包括寻求专业建议并制定个性化的压力管理策略)”可知，作者建议采用包括专业建议以及个性化的压力管理策略的健康方法，也就是说划线单词的意思和“全面的”相似。选项A“Comprehensive (全面的)”；选项B“Immediate (立即的)”；选项C“Physical (身体的)”；选项D“Medical (医学的)”。故选A。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As highlighted by experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University, the relationship between cortisol levels and various physical symptoms is complex and not entirely straightforward.(哥伦比亚大学的马丁·皮卡德等专家强调指出，皮质醇水平与各种身体症状之间的关系复杂，并非完全直接相关。)”以及全文内容可知，文章讨论了皮质醇（一种压力激素）对人体健康的影响，包括其对免疫系统、血糖水平和心理健康的潜在作用。文章还提到了皮质醇水平失衡可能导致的一系列健康问题，并强调了准确评估和管理皮质醇水平的重要性。此外，文章还提供了一些关于如何降低皮质醇水平和应对压力的建议。符合健康杂志的内容和特点。故选C。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. ____16____, that is, they are concerned about their own appearance and actions too much.

Sometimes, I would become very confused. Math problems that seemed to be impossible to solve, puzzling grammar in English, and difficult historical events all made me feel at a loss. I didn’t know where to start or how to improve. Moreover, the fierce competition among classmates also added to my anxiety. Seeing others doing well, I couldn’t help but question myself, wondering if I was working hard enough. This sense of uncertainty made me doubt my abilities and future. I was losing patience and drive. One sunny day, as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored, my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project — to plant a tree in the schoolyard. I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree. I worked hard, feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead. As I was working, a classmate, Mary, came over and said, “Hey, you’re really putting a lot of effort into this!” I smiled and replied, “Yeah, I want this tree to grow strong. It feels like we’re doing something meaningful.” Mary nodded in agreement, “Definitely. And it’s amazing to think about how we’re all part of this process of growth.” As the weeks passed, I would visit the tree often, observing the little tree as it faced many challenges, including harsh weather and strong winds. But each time, it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger, providing shade and shelter for us. Its journey in the wind and rain was a test of its perseverance (坚持) and growth. It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree, growing and changing. 注意： 1．续写词数应为150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 One day, as I stood by a tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 One day, as I stood by the tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. She asked, “What are you thinking about?” I explained my realization about the tree and how it mirrored my struggles. My teacher smiled warmly and said, “That’s exactly right. Just like the tree, you will face challenges, but you must keep growing. You need to persevere, adapt, and find strength within yourself. Remember, every difficulty you overcome makes you stronger.” Her words impressed me deeply, and I felt a renewed sense of determination. I decided then and there to approach my studies with the same persistence as the tree. Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. Inspired by the tree’s growth and my teacher’s encouragement, I began to tackle my academic challenges . Slowly but surely, I noticed improvements in my grades. More importantly, I learned to consider challenges as opportunities for growth. This shift in mindset not only helped me academically but also taught me a lifelong lesson about the power of perseverance and the beauty of continuous learning. Whenever I face obstacles now, I remember the tree and the wisdom it taught me, reminding me that with patience and determination, I can overcome any adversity. 【解析】 【导语】本文以一棵树的成长过程为线索，映射了作者在高中阶段面对学习困难和自我怀疑的心路历程。然而，一次特别的植树项目成为转折点，激发了作者的兴趣与热情。作者见证了小树在逆境中展现出的坚韧与成长，这不禁让他反思，是否也能如树一般，在面对生活中的风雨时，学会坚持与改变。这个过程不仅让作者体验到了自然界的顽强生命力，更促使他对自身的潜力与成长轨迹有了新的认识。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天，当我站在树边沉思时，我的老师接近了我。”可知，第一段可描写老师解开作者心中的疑惑。 ②由第二段首句内容“现在回想起来，我意识到这次交谈是我生命中转折点。”可知，第二段可描这次谈话以后作者获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：站在树旁沉思——老师走近并询问——解开心中疑惑——回想交谈内容——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①解决：tackle/handle/resolve ②克服：overcome/get over/conquer ③鼓舞：inspire/encourage 情绪类 ①深深地打动了我：impress me deeply/touch me deeply ②被激励的：inspired/motivated/encouraged 【点睛】 【高分句型1】Inspired by the tree’s growth and my teacher’s encouragement, I began to tackle my academic challenges.（运用了过去分词inspired 作状语） 【高分句型2】Whenever I face obstacles now, I remember the tree and the wisdom it taught me, reminding me that with patience and determination, I can overcome any adversity.（运用了whenever引导时间状语从句，省略了引导词that/which的定语从句和现在分词reminding 作结果状语以及that引导的宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025—2026学年第一学期收心检测 高二英语 第一部分 听力（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1.

St. Patrick's Day Dublin, Ireland & New York, the USA, March 17th It has been a cultural and religious celebration held in memory of the death date of Saint Patrick, the foremost patron saint of Ireland, since 1762. On that day, the whole city turns green and many Irish make traditional bread. It is also one of the most fun days of the year, when the whole city turns into a big green party. South by Southwest (SXSW) Austin, the USA, March Founded in 1987, SXSW has been praised by music fans and the media worldwide as one of the top 10 music festivals in the world.

I had always lived in the city, and the idea of spending two months in a place where life moved at a slower pace was both exciting and intimidating. Little did I know, this experience would change my perspective on life and help me grow in ways I never expected. The community center served as a hub (中心) for local activities, offering after-school programs for children, English classes for adults, and support for elderly residents. My main role was to assist with the children’s programs. Every morning, I helped organize games, art projects, and reading sessions. At first, I struggled to connect with the kids. Many of them were shy, and I felt unsure of how to engage them. But over time, I learned to be patient and creative. I started using storytelling and hands-on activities to capture their attention, and soon, the classroom was filled with laughter and enthusiasm. One of the most memorable moments was when a young girl named Lily, who had barely spoken a word during the first week, finally opened up. She shared her dream of becoming a teacher and even helped me lead a reading session. Seeing her confidence grow was incredibly rewarding and reminded me of the impact small actions can have. By the end of the summer, I had not only developed new skills but also gained a deeper understanding of myself. I learned to adapt to unfamiliar situations, communicate effectively with people from different backgrounds, and appreciate the simple joys of life. This experience inspired me to continue volunteering and to approach challenges with a more open mind. 4. What was the author’s primary role at the community center? A. Teaching English to adults. B. Helping with children’s programs. C. Supporting for elderly residents. D. Offering after-school programs for children. 5. What did the author do to connect with the children? A. He gave them gifts. B. He became more patient and creative. C. He organized daily games and art projects. D. He employed storytelling and practical activities. 6. How did the author feel about Lily’s progress? A. Excited. B. Pleased. C. Fulfilled. D. Relaxed. 7. What can we learn about the author’s personal growth from the last paragraph? A. Gained self-awareness and adaptability. B. Developed a focus on technical expertise. C. Strengthened commitment to community service. D. Prioritized academic achievements over experiences. C If someone asked whether you like the arts, you’d probably say you do at least in theory. According to a survey, more than two-thirds of U.S. adults say the arts “lift me up beyond everyday experiences”. However, only 30 percent attended a concert of any type in 2017; 23 percent went to an art museum. Fewer than half actively created art of any kind. The mismatch can boil down to the fact that we are weighed down by our day-to-day responsibilities, leaving our schedule packed. Maybe you like to play a little background music while you work or do the chores, but even before the pandemic, most of us rarely, if ever, saw a live performance, let alone visited a gallery or watched a play. Too often, we let the dull reality of life get in the way of the arts. But this is a mistake. The arts are the opposite of an escape from reality; they might just be the most realistic glimpse we ever get into the nature and meaning of life. If you make time for consuming and producing the arts the same way you make time for work and exercise and family commitments, I assure you that you’ll find your life getting fuller and happier. Think of a time when you heard a piece of music and wanted to cry. Or maybe your dizziness struck as you emerged from a narrow side street in an unfamiliar city. There you found yourself in a beautiful town square as if in a fantasy. They probably stimulated a sudden awakening, much like the shock from a lungful of pure oxygen after breathing in smoggy air. If you are among the people who feel that the arts are pure pleasures to experience and participate in, you might see them as a luxury item, while a preferable attitude is to treat the arts less like a distracting pleasure, and more like exercise or sleep, a necessity. Then draw up a schedule of your art exposure journey, and gradually weave the arts into your everyday life. 8. What prevents people from enjoying the arts according to the text? A. Lack of interest. B. Avoidance of duty. C. Shortage of time. D. Art space inaccessibility. 9. What can we learn about the role of the arts according to the text? A. They explore mysteries of life. B. They spark emotional responses. C. They enhance physical well-being. D. They offer a getaway from daily life. 10. What will probably be talked about in the following paragraph? A. Barriers to combine the arts and life. B. Benefits of engaging with the arts. C. Forms of distracting pleasures. D. Ways to integrate the arts into daily routine. 11. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. The Arts Journey: Refreshing Soul B The Arts Pursuit: Transforming Dull into Full C. Embracing the Arts: From Luxury to Necessity D. Connecting with the Arts: From Reality to Fantasy D Cortisol (皮质醇), often referred to as the “stress hormone (激素),” plays a crucial role in managing our body’s stress response. Recent discussions on platforms like TikTok have contributed to a widespread misinterpretation that imbalances in cortisol levels are directly responsible for a range of health problems, such as loose skin, sleep disturbances, and digestive issues. As highlighted by experts like Martin Picard from Columbia University, the relationship between cortisol levels and various physical symptoms is complex and not entirely straightforward. Cortisol is released by the adrenal glands in response to various stressors, whether they are psychological, such as receiving an unsettling work email, or physical, like encountering a bear during a hike. This hormone helps in regulating energy supply and metabolism (新陈代谢), with its levels typically peaking in the early morning and decreasing as the day progresses. However, long-term stress can disturb this natural rhythm, resulting in continuously high cortisol levels. Such sustained high levels of cortisol can have adverse effects on health, including a weakened immune system, high blood sugar levels, and mental health issues such as depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In severe cases, too much cortisol production can lead to Cushing’s syndrome, a condition that causes significant physical changes and requires medical treatment. Given the dynamic nature of cortisol, assessing cortisol-related problems accurately often requires professional evaluation. Home testing for cortisol may not produce reliable results, emphasizing the need for consultation with healthcare professionals for a comprehensive assessment. While managing cortisol levels effectively does not involve a single universal solution, research has shown that practices such as yoga, mindfulness, and moderate exercise can be beneficial in regulating the body’s stress response. These activities not only help in reducing immediate stress but also contribute to training the body to handle stress more efficiently over time. In summary, while cortisol plays a key part in how our body manages stress and overall functioning, linking many health issues only to cortisol imbalances overlooks the complex interplay between hormones, stress, and health.

Sometimes, I would become very confused. Math problems that seemed to be impossible to solve, puzzling grammar in English, and difficult historical events all made me feel at a loss. I didn’t know where to start or how to improve. Moreover, the fierce competition among classmates also added to my anxiety. Seeing others doing well, I couldn’t help but question myself, wondering if I was working hard enough. This sense of uncertainty made me doubt my abilities and future. I was losing patience and drive. One sunny day, as I was sitting in the classroom feeling a bit bored, my teacher came in and announced that we would have a special project — to plant a tree in the schoolyard. I was excited at the thought of getting outside and doing something different. I went outside and started digging the hole for the tree. I worked hard, feeling the dirt on my hands and the sweat on my forehead. As I was working, a classmate, Mary, came over and said, “Hey, you’re really putting a lot of effort into this!” I smiled and replied, “Yeah, I want this tree to grow strong. It feels like we’re doing something meaningful.” Mary nodded in agreement, “Definitely. And it’s amazing to think about how we’re all part of this process of growth.” As the weeks passed, I would visit the tree often, observing the little tree as it faced many challenges, including harsh weather and strong winds. But each time, it overcame them and continued to grow taller and stronger, providing shade and shelter for us. Its journey in the wind and rain was a test of its perseverance (坚持) and growth. It made me wonder whether I could be like the tree, growing and changing. 注意： 1．续写词数应150左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡相应位置作答。 One day, as I stood by a tree lost in thought, my teacher approached me. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Reflecting on it now, I realize this conversation was a turning point in my life. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
