Everyone has their favourite Bond songs with the 007 movies offering so many different musical outings over the years from classic rock and pop to soul and even dance. Let us know in the comments.
Golden Eye — Tina Turner
Golden Eye (1995)
Golden Eye sees a cat-like Turner wandering about throughout its sound stage, flashing her claws where necessary. Its sweeping arrangement and sentimental brass (感伤的铜管乐) contribute to a powerful vocal performance. The strings are mixed with horns that sound like a passing train. This is effortless singing from Turner and her amazing control is a joy to hear.
Tomorrow Never Dies — Sheryl Crow
Tomorrow Never Dies (1997)
This rock/pop little number has always felt rather clear to the listeners. It is a bit Bond-aping (邦德式模仿) rather than creating something new all by itself, which is what it should ideally be aiming for. Crow gives it her all with her soft voice.
You Know My Name — Chris Cornell
Casino Royal (2006)
Right from the brilliantly exciting intro, the whole track just sounds so strong, as if it was chiseled (镌刻) out of the very finest stone. A lot of this is down to Chris Cornell’s powerful and deeply rich voice. One of the greatest singers of his generation, he absolutely nails this track.
Writing’s On The Wall — Sam Smith
Spectre (2015)
The title theme that most people can’t actually remember. By all accounts Sam Smith’s Writing’s On The Wall was written very quickly, and frankly, it shows. Far from being a terrible song, it just lacks basically everything that a Bond theme needs. Sure, it certainly feels empty.
1. Who gives an impression of joy to hear through his/her voice?
A. Tina Turner. B. Sheryl Crow.
C. Chris Cornell. D. Sam Smith.
2 How does the song Tomorrow Never Dies sound to the listeners?
A. Sweet. B. Strong. C. Gentle. D. Terrible.
3. Which song lacks a Bond theme according to the author?
A. Golden Eye.
B. Tomorrow Never Dies.
C. You Know My Name.
D. Writing’s On The Wall.
B
Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.
4. What happened to the author after science class?
A. He lost his science textbook.
B. He got lost on the campus.
C. He was late for math class.
D. He was given detention.
5. What did the author think of his art class?
A. Difficult. B. Enjoyable. C. Boring. D. Easy.
6. What did the English teacher do after seeing the author’s work?
A. He praised the author.
B. He pointed out the author’s mistake.
C. He asked the author to check punctuation.
D. He encouraged the author to introduce himself.
7. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Learn useful skills in high school
B. My new teachers in high school
C. Make plans for high school life
D. My first day in high school
C
A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情) and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
9. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort?
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
10. How does the author develop this text?
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
D
People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
12. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”?
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey?
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.

Never had Jason lost a debate. He was known as the best speaker in school, and he walked through the halls with confidence that sometimes felt like arrogance (傲慢). Teachers praised his skills, classmates admired him, and his opponents feared him. To him, winning was natural. And losing? Impossible.
One afternoon, the school announced an upcoming interschool debate competition. As soon as Jason heard the news, a proud smile appeared on his face. “This will be easy,” he said. His teammates, though unsure, nodded. After all, wasn’t he always right?
Jason wanted to prove how smart he was, so he decided to take full control. He wrote the main arguments, planned the strongest points, and saved the most important speaking parts for himself. His teammates? He only gave them simple tasks. Why did he need their help when he could deal with everything himself? As they prepared, one of his teammates David suggested a different idea. Jason didn’t look up. “No, this way is better,” he said. Nobody argued. Finally, the big day arrived. Jason walked onto the stage, standing tall. The other team sat across from them, looking focused and well-prepared. The debate began, and Jason spoke with his usual confidence. His opening argument was strong, and for a moment, everything was going exactly as he had expected. Then, the other team started their response.
Unlike Jason, they each took turns to speak. Their teamwork was perfect. Whenever Jason made an argument, they quickly pointed out the wrong in his reasoning. Jason tried to argue back, but they had evidence (证据) to question him. Panic washed over Jason. He glanced at his teammates for help, but they hesitated (犹豫). They had been left out of the preparation, so they weren’t ready to support him. As the debate continued, Jason realized he was losing control. His confidence disappeared, his arguments became weaker, and the other team only grew stronger. By the time the final round ended, he knew it was over.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then the result was announced.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Realizing his mistake, Jason came over to his teammates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Today was my first day at senior high and it was hard. In high school, you have 4 minutes to get to your next class. My high school is very big and those 4 minutes to go from one class to another really isn’t a lot of time. Today I had to go from one end of the building to the other to get from science class to math class. I wanted to go to my locker first and leave my science book there, but that took time. I was worried about being late, and I was. The math teacher said, “Just be on time tomorrow, or you’ll have detention (放学后留校).”
After math, I went to art class. I like my art class a lot because I get to create things. The teacher there showed us how to make portraits (肖像). He explained, “A portrait is a way of communicating with a person. It does not just show how the person looks but what is important to understand the person.” We just did drawings today, but I know it’s going to be great. I like drawing.
I like my English class, too. I think the teacher is really supportive. Today we wrote about ourselves. The teacher said to just write what you think, and we’ll pay attention to punctuation (标点) later. We could write a paragraph or a poem, and I wrote a poem about myself. I thought it was a good poem, and the teacher said I had used good images (意象) to communicate my feelings.
Lunch was very hurried. I arrived at the dining room with 12 minutes to eat. I sat with people I didn’t know, and everyone was eating quickly. After lunch I signed up for a computer club. I need to learn how to use a computer well because my social studies teacher says it is the one skill you need in every class.

A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.
But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others.
Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart. A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others. That, itself, is psychologically healing. It draws you away from concentration on yourself, and possibly towards helping others in need of comfort.
Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. In fact, it did so when the person first consciously accept the situation causing their sadness, and then began listening to the sad music. That is, when they intended that the sad music might help, they found that it did.
These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense. For example, research from Cornell University, published in Psychological Science, found that accepting discomfort about a life experience or new situation, and viewing it as a step towards growth and change, encourages people to find a pathway through it, beyond it. As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.
8. What can we learn from paragraph 3 and paragraph 4?
A. Sad music can make people help others.
B. Sad music can make sad people feel better.
C. Sad music can make people believe in themselves.
D. Sad music can make people concentrate on themselves.
9. What does Churchill advise us to do when experiencing discomfort?
A. Listen to a sad song. B. Avoid unwise actions.
C. Find support from others. D. Face the discomfort directly.
10. How does the author develop this text?
A. By listing figures.
B. By giving directions.
C. By comparing examples.
D. By presenting research findings.
11. Which is the best title for the text?
A. How to Find Pathways through Heartaches
B. How We React to A Broken Heart Matters a Lot
C. What We Can Do to Overcome Discomfort in Life
D. Why Listening to Sad Music Heals Your Broken Heart
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. D 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是听悲伤音乐能够治愈悲伤的原因。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Sad music can help heal and uplift you from your broken heart.(悲伤的音乐可以帮助你从破碎的心中治愈和振作起来。)”可知,悲伤音乐能帮助人们从新振奋精神,结合第四段中的“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood.(肯特大学的另一项实验发现,当人们感到悲伤时,听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”可知,实验发现,在人经历悲伤的时候,听悲伤音乐能改善情绪,综上可知,悲伤音乐可以让人们感觉更好。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据尾段中的“As Churchill famously said, “If you’re going through hell, keep going.” That discomfort points you towards creating a plan, a new action. It fuels hope.(正如丘吉尔的名言:“如果你正在经历地狱,那就继续前进。”这种不适会让你制定一个计划,一个新的行动。它点燃了希望。)”可知,丘吉尔认为,如果遭遇困难的时候,要继续前进,这种不适会让你制定计划,开始新的行动,由此可知,丘吉尔是要我们直面困难。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again.(但研究表明,心痛是有解决的途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望。)”、第三段中的“A recent study from Germany found the emotional influence of listening to sad music is an arousal of feelings of empathy (共情), and a desire for positive connection with others.(德国最近的一项研究发现,听悲伤的音乐对情绪的影响是一种同理心的唤起,以及与他人建立积极联系的愿望。)”、第四段中的“Another experiment, from the University of Kent, found that when people were experiencing sadness, listening to music that was “beautiful but sad” improved their mood. (肯特大学的另一项实验发现,当人们感到悲伤时,听“美丽但悲伤”的音乐可以改善他们的情绪。)”以及尾段中的“These findings link with other studies that show accepting your sad situation emotionally leads to healing and growth beyond it. It seems unbelievable but it does make sense.(这些发现与其他研究相联系,这些研究表明,从情感上接受你的悲伤处境会导致愈合和成长。这看起来难以置信,但确实有道理。)”可知,全文中分别介绍了几项不同的研究,并对这些研究进行了分析,这些研究都证明了听悲伤音乐有助于改善人们的情绪,由此可知,作者是通过介绍研究结果展开的。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据首段中的“A broken heart. A sad ending to a love affair. That’s something most of us have experienced, or probably will. After all, it’s part of human life. But no question, the experience can be hard to get over.(破碎的心。一段恋情的悲惨结局。这是我们大多数人都经历过的,或者可能会经历的。毕竟,这是人类生活的一部分。但毫无疑问,这种经历很难忘记。)”可知,本文通过陈述生活中的客观情况,引出本文的话题,结合下文中的“But research shows there are pathways through the heartache. Listening to sad music is a major one. It can help you begin to feel joy and hopefulness about your life again. It can arouse (激发,唤醒) the desire (渴望) to connect with others. (但研究表明,心痛是有解决途径的。听悲伤的音乐是主要的。它可以帮助你重新感受到生活的快乐和希望。它能唤起与他人联系的欲望。)”可知,心痛的解决途径之一就是听悲伤音乐,进而在下文中列举多个研究发现听悲伤音乐有助于改善人们的情绪,并对这些研究结果进行了分析,由此可知,本文介绍了听悲伤音乐能治愈悲伤的原因,所以本文的标题为“为什么听悲伤音乐能治愈悲伤”与本文内容一致,且概括了本文的主题。故选D项。

People have different ways of dealing with waste paper, specifically used newspapers. Some put them in the recycling area, while others keep them as wrappers (包装纸). While these are both good measures, a Japanese publishing company had a better idea for their end use.
The Mainichi Newspapers Co., Ltd. invented the “Green Newspaper”, which allows people to grow plants with it. This unique newspaper was published on Greenery Day, which is focused on environmental news and made of green paper with seeds placed into it. What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants. The publisher advises readers to tear the used newspaper into small pieces and plant them in a container with soil. They should water them, like they would do for any plant. Within a few weeks, the seeds will grow into plants.
This brilliant concept was invented by Dentsu Inc., one of Japan’s most famous advertising agencies, which works with the publishing company on the initiative (倡议). The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily. Other such initiatives producing plantable paper are also seen in India and the US.
About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly. However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.
12. What do we know about the “Green Newspaper”?
A. It uses high-tech materials.
B. It provides energy for seeds.
C. It’s printed with plant-based ink.
D. It’s published to celebrate Greenery Day.
13. What message does the publisher’s mission statement convey?
A. It’s easier said than done.
B. Everything comes to him who waits.
C. Many hands make light work.
D. Actions speak louder than words.
14. What’s the author’s attitude to the “Green Newspaper”?
A. Doubtful. B. Supportive.
C. Indifferent. D. Negative.
15. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. About 59 million trees are lost for producing newspapers.
B. The Internet has changed the way people read news totally.
C. The popularity of the Internet leads to the fall of the print readership.
D. The “Green Newspaper” will encourage more people to protect the environment.
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一家日本出版公司对废纸的处理。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段“What makes it even more special is the ink (油墨) used to print words and photos, which is made from plants.(更特别的是,用于打印文字和照片的墨水是由植物制成的)”可知,打印这种“绿色环保的报纸”的墨水是由植物制成的。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“The publisher’s belief is environmental sustainability (持续性). As its mission statement says, “The Mainichi doesn’t take action only through information, but also by solving global issues.” With joint efforts, this initiative has reached the corners of Japan and sold around millions of copies daily.(出版商的信念是环境的可持续性。正如其使命宣言所言,“《每日新闻》不仅通过信息采取行动,还通过解决全球问题采取行动。”在大家的共同努力下,这一创想已经传播到了日本的各个角落,每天的销量达到了数百万份)”可知,出版商的使命宣言和出版商的行为相一致,他们的理念是环境的可持续性,而他们也通过自己的行动践行这一理念。由此推知,选项D“Actions speak louder than words.(事实胜于雄辩)”阐述的正是这家出版商的行为。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“However, the reinvention and reimagination of this newspaper will bring about a change in the publishing industry as well as having an environmental influence.(然而,这份报纸的重塑和再想象将带来出版业的变化,并对环境产生影响)”可推知,作者对于这份报纸抱有支持的态度。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“About 95 million trees are lost for producing newspapers every year. The Internet, the number of whose users stands for 62.5 percent of the population worldwide, has influenced how people read news and the print readership has dropped greatly.(每年约有9500万棵树因生产报纸而消失。互联网的用户数量占全球人口的62.5%,它影响了人们阅读新闻的方式,纸质报纸的读者数量大幅下降)”可知,由于互联网的普及,纸质报纸的读者数量大幅下降。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要介绍了风筝的起源、传播以及潍坊国际风筝节等信息。
【36题详解】
考查代词。句意:但是人们相信第一个风筝是在2000多年前由中国人发明的。此处为it is believed that“据信,据认为”的固定句型,其中it作形式主语,that引导的主语从句作真正的主语。故填it。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:一开始,风筝被用于军事和防御。主语the kites为复数名词和动词use为被动关系,结合语境可知,该句为陈述过去发生的事情,所以为一般过去时的被动语态结构,谓语用复数。故填were used。
【38题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:访问中国的商人把风筝带到了印度、韩国和亚洲其他地区。此处为关系代词who/that引导的定语从句,先行词Businessmen(指人)在从句中作主语成分。故填who/that。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:十三世纪,马可・波罗在一次著名的中国之行后,成为第一个把中国风筝带到欧洲的人。由空前the first可知,名词前有序数词修饰,用动词不定式作后置定语,构成the first…to do..“第一个做某事的……”。故填to take。
【40题详解】
考查名词复数形式。句意:他也是最早写风筝的作家之一,向西方读者解释如何使用风筝。由空前one of可知,此处为名词复数形式,表示“……的其中之一”。故填authors。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:他也是最早写风筝的作家之一,向西方读者解释如何使用风筝。此处为非谓语动词作状语,explain和逻辑主语He为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填explaining。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:它们从欧洲传播到了北美洲和南美洲。短语from…to…表示“从……到……”。故填to。
【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:山东潍坊被认为是世界风筝之都,潍坊国际风筝节吸引了来自世界各地的许多游客。此处为谓语动词的填入,根据句意可知,该句为陈述客观事实,所以为一般现在时,主语Weifang International Kite Festival为单数名词,所以为动词三单形式。故填attracts。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:潍坊还拥有世界上最著名的风筝博物馆。根据语境以及表示范围的介词短语in the world可知,此处应用形容词最高级形式。故填most famous。
【45题详解】
考查冠词。句意:在潍坊风筝博物馆,你可以看到令人印象深刻的各个时期的风筝收藏。根据句意以及空后impressive collection为单数名词可知,此处应表示泛指“一个令人印象深刻的收藏”为泛指概念,结合impressive是发音以元音音素开头的单词,故填不定冠词an。故填an。

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。
Never had Jason lost a debate. He was known as the best speaker in school, and he walked through the halls with confidence that sometimes felt like arrogance (傲慢). Teachers praised his skills, classmates admired him, and his opponents feared him. To him, winning was natural. And losing? Impossible.
One afternoon, the school announced an upcoming interschool debate competition. As soon as Jason heard the news, a proud smile appeared on his face. “This will be easy,” he said. His teammates, though unsure, nodded. After all, wasn’t he always right?
Jason wanted to prove how smart he was, so he decided to take full control. He wrote the main arguments, planned the strongest points, and saved the most important speaking parts for himself. His teammates? He only gave them simple tasks. Why did he need their help when he could deal with everything himself? As they prepared, one of his teammates David suggested a different idea. Jason didn’t look up. “No, this way is better,” he said. Nobody argued. Finally, the big day arrived. Jason walked onto the stage, standing tall. The other team sat across from them, looking focused and well-prepared. The debate began, and Jason spoke with his usual confidence. His opening argument was strong, and for a moment, everything was going exactly as he had expected. Then, the other team started their response.
Unlike Jason, they each took turns to speak. Their teamwork was perfect. Whenever Jason made an argument, they quickly pointed out the wrong in his reasoning. Jason tried to argue back, but they had evidence (证据) to question him. Panic washed over Jason. He glanced at his teammates for help, but they hesitated (犹豫). They had been left out of the preparation, so they weren’t ready to support him. As the debate continued, Jason realized he was losing control. His confidence disappeared, his arguments became weaker, and the other team only grew stronger. By the time the final round ended, he knew it was over.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then the result was announced.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Realizing his mistake, Jason came over to his teammates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then the result was announced. The opposing team was declared the winner. Applause erupted in the auditorium, but Jason heard none of it. He stood frozen, the cheers sounding distant and hollow. For the first time, the confident stride that usually carried him through the halls felt heavy. He walked off the stage, head lowered, the weight of defeat pressing down on him like never before. The hall, once a place he dominated, now felt strangely unfamiliar and cold.
Realizing his mistake, Jason came over to his teammates. He found David packing his bag alone. “David,” Jason began, his voice unsteady, “I… I was wrong. I should have listened to you. I shouldn’t have tried to do everything myself.” He looked at his other teammates who had joined them. “I apologize to all of you. I let my ego get in the way of our teamwork.” David looked surprised, then nodded slowly. “It’s okay, Jason,” David said. “Debating is a team sport. Next time, let’s plan together, listen to each other, and trust each other.” Jason managed a small, genuine smile, finally understanding that true strength came from unity, not solitary brilliance.
