第二部分 阅读理解(共两节;满分40分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分27.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
A
Four female pioneers from different fields will soon appear on some US coins. Generations to come will look at the coins bearing these designs and be reminded of what can be accomplished with determination and a desire to improve opportunities for all.
Anna May Wong
Wong was the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood, appearing in more than 60 movies. Her coin shows her resting her head on her hand, surrounded by the round lights of a stage.
A film critic once noted that Wong’s performances often carried a sense of longing, as if she was yearning for a Hollywood that fully accepted her.
Maya Angelou
The late writer and social activist has already received a presidential Medal of Freedom, won a National Book Award, and published more than 30 bestselling poems. Angelou’s coin will show her with her arms lifted, in front of a bird in flight and a rising sun. Those images are inspired by her poetry and symbolic of the way she lived. Scholars analyze that her works frequently explored themes of resilience (恢复) and hope, mirroring her own life journey marked by overcoming hardships.
Sally Ride
The late astronaut, physicist and educator is best known as the first American woman — and youngest American — to travel to space. After her retirement, she devoted herself to inspiring young people, particularly girls, in science, engineering, technology and math. Her coin design shows her standing next to a window on a spaceship, which is inspired by what she once said. “When I wasn’t working, I was usually at a window looking down at Earth.”
Wilma Mankiller
Mankiller was the first elected female chief of the Cherokee Nation in 1987, and is celebrated as an activist for Native American and women’s rights. Under her leadership, infant death rate declined and educational levels rose. Mankiller’s coin shows her in a traditional dress in front of the seven-pointed star of the Cherokee Nation. Historians emphasize that her leadership style was both inclusive (包容的) and decisive, bringing about tangible (明确的) changes for her people.
1. What can we infer about Anna May Wong from the passage?
A. Her performances lacked emotional depth.
B. She was widely accepted by Hollywood from the start.
C. She faced challenges in gaining full acceptance in Hollywood.
D. She starred in fewer than 50 movies throughout her career.
2. Why are the images of a bird in flight and a rising sun chosen for Maya Angelou’s coin?
A. They represent her love for nature.
B. They are symbols of her favorite hobbies.
C. They were randomly selected by coin designers.
D. They reflect the themes in her poetry and her life attitude.
3. Which of the following best describes Wilma Mankiller’s leadership?
A Ineffective in bringing about any changes.
B. Focused mainly on economic development.
C. Unconcerned with the social welfare of her community.
D. Characterized by inclusiveness and the ability to achieve results.
B
On a recent weekday, I sent an Instagram message to a friend of mine, an art adviser in New York named Stephen Truax, to chat about an exhibition. Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to say that he’d blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime working hours.
Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such a challenge. Truax said he was using Opal, an app that makes your smartphone a little more like a so-called dumbphone (功能机). He said that several of his friends swore by the app, and so he had begun using it, too. I took this word of mouth as evidence that it might actually work. I downloaded it without any particular optimism, considering my phone addiction an incurable case.
Opal, I found, provides something like gentle parenting for your smartphone habits: you set up a daily schedule of which apps to block, and then the app guides you into sticking with it. As the app suggested, I set up a recurring “Work Time” block from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and selected every social app I ever use. At the scheduled time, those apps go gray on my home screen and remain that way all day.
Every time I’m upset that I can’t look at Instagram on my phone, I just think, surely I, a human adult, can wait a few more hours to see my friends’ dog photos—5 p.m. isn’t that far away. Crucially, Opal also allows users to suspend the block for short periods of time without feeling like failures; when the scheduled break time passes, the blockage automatically continues.
I find comfort in the fact that my mind feels clearer after a full workday without checking social media, and an added bonus is that once the block ends I can mainline all the good posts that I missed. As Truax told me, “The flood of content that happens after dinner is wild.” The addiction is not cured, perhaps, but at least it’s finally managed.
4. How did the author feel when downloading Opal?
A. Impressed. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.
5. What does Opal do according to the passage?
A. Block any incoming texts. B. Prevent users from using Instagram.
C. Turn smartphones into dumbphones. D. Limit access to certain apps in given time.
6. Why does Opal allow temporary lift of the blockage?
A. To extend block duration. B. To offer guilt-free flexibility.
C. To improve app performance. D. To suspend all phone functions.
7. What can we learn from the text?
A. Surfing the web makes the mind clearer. B. Practising self-control deepens enjoyment.
C. It’s best to surf the latest news after supper. D. It is impossible to ease phone addiction.
C
As dust from the Sahara blows thousands of kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean, it becomes progressively more nutritious for marine microbes (海洋微生物), a new study suggests.
“Dust clouds settling on the Atlantic can generate phytoplankton (浮游植物) blooms that support marine ecosystems,” said Timothy Lyons, a scientist at the University of California, Riverside. “Iron in the dust is incredibly important for life,” he said. Phytoplankton require it to change carbon dioxide into sugars.
Over 240 million metric tons of Saharan dust blows over the Atlantic Ocean each year. To know whether the types of dust settling on the Atlantic had changed over the past 120,000 years, Lyons and the marine geologist Jeremy Owens, analyzed dust-derived (灰尘衍生的) minerals in four cores collected from the muddy seafloor — two in the eastern Atlantic near Africa, and two from farther west near North America.
In dust worldwide, approximately 40% of iron is ordinarily present within “reactive” minerals like pyrite. This kind of iron can break down with weak acids and potentially be used by life. In the core samples from the bottom of the Atlantic, only about 9% of iron in the dust minerals sampled from farther west consisted of reactive iron minerals, compared with about 18% in dust minerals taken from closer to Africa.
“There’re photochemical transformations that tend to make the iron more soluble (可溶解的) in water,” said Lyons. He and Owens concluded that during the dust’s several-day trans-Atlantic flight, more and more of its reactive iron was changed — attacked by acids and radiation. As that improved iron later settled into the ocean, it was eaten directly by phytoplankton. The only reactive iron that made it to the seafloor was the stuff that wasn’t changed during air transport, and wasn’t taken in later.
“The new results are plausible because previous studies have shown that iron minerals react in the atmosphere,” said Natalie Mahowald, an atmospheric scientist who studies dust at Cornell University. “Their conclusion goes along with what I thought was happening,” she said.
8. Why is iron important for marine ecosystems?
A. It helps dust clouds settle. B. It generates phytoplankton.
C. It changes CO₂ into sugars. D. It boosts phytoplankton growth.
9. What can be concluded from the findings of the research?
A. Weak acids seldom change reactive iron minerals.
B. The dust minerals from farther west are rich in iron.
C. The fewer minerals there are, the more sensitive weak acids are.
D. The farther the desert dust flies, the less the reactive iron is left.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. How phytoplankton makes it to the seafloor. B. How reactive iron cooperates with radiation.
C. How iron in dust becomes easier to absorb. D. How atmospheric chemical reactions fail.
11. What does the underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph mean?
A reliable. B. uncertain. C. abstract. D. Contradictory.
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Everybody lies to some degree. ___12___ However nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers (弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for.
___13___
There are many signs that indicate that someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___14___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.
Ask questions — quickly.
If you suspect you’re being lied to, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “ ___15___ When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.”
Check for emotional “leaks”
Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. ___16___ And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie.
So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it.
A. Listen to the voices.
B. Get better at body language.
C The follow-up lie is more difficult.
D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still.
E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart.
F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact.
G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives.

48. 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。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs in my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” she grinned. “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Dear, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called saying that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

On a recent weekday, I sent an Instagram message to a friend of mine, an art adviser in New York named Stephen Truax, to chat about an exhibition. Instead of messaging me back in the app, he texted me to say that he’d blocked Instagram on his smartphone during daytime working hours.
Impressed, I asked him how he was accomplishing such a challenge. Truax said he was using Opal, an app that makes your smartphone a little more like a so-called dumbphone (功能机). He said that several of his friends swore by the app, and so he had begun using it, too. I took this word of mouth as evidence that it might actually work. I downloaded it without any particular optimism, considering my phone addiction an incurable case.
Opal, I found, provides something like gentle parenting for your smartphone habits: you set up a daily schedule of which apps to block, and then the app guides you into sticking with it. As the app suggested, I set up a recurring “Work Time” block from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and selected every social app I ever use. At the scheduled time, those apps go gray on my home screen and remain that way all day.
Every time I’m upset that I can’t look at Instagram on my phone, I just think, surely I, a human adult, can wait a few more hours to see my friends’ dog photos—5 p.m. isn’t that far away. Crucially, Opal also allows users to suspend the block for short periods of time without feeling like failures; when the scheduled break time passes, the blockage automatically continues.
I find comfort in the fact that my mind feels clearer after a full workday without checking social media, and an added bonus is that once the block ends I can mainline all the good posts that I missed. As Truax told me, “The flood of content that happens after dinner is wild.” The addiction is not cured, perhaps, but at least it’s finally managed.
4. How did the author feel when downloading Opal?
A. Impressed. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Disappointed.
5. What does Opal do according to the passage?
A. Block any incoming texts. B. Prevent users from using Instagram.

【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Opal, I found, provides something like gentle parenting for your smartphone habits: you set up a daily schedule of which apps to block, and then the app guides you into sticking with it.(我发现,Opal为你的智能手机使用习惯提供了一种类似温和管教的方式:你可以设置一个每日计划,决定屏蔽哪些应用,随后这款应用会引导你坚持下去)”以及“As the app suggested, I set up a recurring “Work Time” block from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and selected every social app I ever use.(根据应用的建议,我设置了一个从上午9点到下午5点的重复‘工作时间’屏蔽,并选择了我使用的所有社交应用)”可知,Opal的核心功能是在用户设定的时间段内限制对特定应用的访问。故选D项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Crucially, Opal also allows users to suspend the block for short periods of time without feeling like failures; when the scheduled break time passes, the blockage automatically continues. (关键是,Opal还允许用户短暂解除屏蔽,而不会让他们觉得失败;当预定的休息时间过去后,屏蔽会自动继续)”可知,这一设计的目的是在严格的管理中提供一种灵活的、不让用户产生挫败感的弹性空间。故选B项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“I find comfort in the fact that my mind feels clearer after a full workday without checking social media, and an added bonus is that once the block ends I can mainline all the good posts that I missed. As Truax told me, “The flood of content that happens after dinner is wild.” The addiction is not cured, perhaps, but at least it’s finally managed. (令我感到欣慰的是,在整整一天不刷社交媒体之后,我的头脑变得格外清醒。而额外的惊喜是,当屏蔽一结束,我就能一口气看完所有错过的精彩内容。正如特鲁克斯告诉我的:“晚饭后内容喷涌而来的感觉真是太棒了。”手机瘾或许尚未根除,但至少终于得到了控制)”可知, 作者通过亲身经历说明,在工作时段通过Opal应用进行自我控制,不查看社交媒体,带来了头脑更清晰的舒适感,并且在屏蔽结束后集中浏览所有我错过的好帖子获得了加倍的快乐,即自律能带来更深层的愉悦。故选B项。
C
As dust from the Sahara blows thousands of kilometers across the Atlantic Ocean, it becomes progressively more nutritious for marine microbes (海洋微生物), a new study suggests.
“Dust clouds settling on the Atlantic can generate phytoplankton (浮游植物) blooms that support marine ecosystems,” said Timothy Lyons, a scientist at the University of California, Riverside. “Iron in the dust is incredibly important for life,” he said. Phytoplankton require it to change carbon dioxide into sugars.
Over 240 million metric tons of Saharan dust blows over the Atlantic Ocean each year. To know whether the types of dust settling on the Atlantic had changed over the past 120,000 years, Lyons and the marine geologist Jeremy Owens, analyzed dust-derived (灰尘衍生的) minerals in four cores collected from the muddy seafloor — two in the eastern Atlantic near Africa, and two from farther west near North America.
In dust worldwide, approximately 40% of iron is ordinarily present within “reactive” minerals like pyrite. This kind of iron can break down with weak acids and potentially be used by life. In the core samples from the bottom of the Atlantic, only about 9% of iron in the dust minerals sampled from farther west consisted of reactive iron minerals, compared with about 18% in dust minerals taken from closer to Africa.
“There’re photochemical transformations that tend to make the iron more soluble (可溶解的) in water,” said Lyons. He and Owens concluded that during the dust’s several-day trans-Atlantic flight, more and more of its reactive iron was changed — attacked by acids and radiation. As that improved iron later settled into the ocean, it was eaten directly by phytoplankton. The only reactive iron that made it to the seafloor was the stuff that wasn’t changed during air transport, and wasn’t taken in later.
“The new results are plausible because previous studies have shown that iron minerals react in the atmosphere,” said Natalie Mahowald, an atmospheric scientist who studies dust at Cornell University. “Their conclusion goes along with what I thought was happening,” she said.
8. Why is iron important for marine ecosystems?
A. It helps dust clouds settle. B. It generates phytoplankton.
C. It changes CO₂ into sugars. D. It boosts phytoplankton growth.
9. What can be concluded from the findings of the research?
A. Weak acids seldom change reactive iron minerals.
B. The dust minerals from farther west are rich in iron.
C. The fewer minerals there are, the more sensitive weak acids are.
D. The farther the desert dust flies, the less the reactive iron is left.
10. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. How phytoplankton makes it to the seafloor. B. How reactive iron cooperates with radiation.
C. How iron in dust becomes easier to absorb. D. How atmospheric chemical reactions fail.
11. What does the underlined word “plausible” in the last paragraph mean?
A reliable. B. uncertain. C. abstract. D. Contradictory.
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项新的研究发现,即撒哈拉沙漠的沙尘在穿越大西洋数千公里的过程中,其携带的铁元素逐渐变得更易被海洋微生物吸收,对海洋生态系统产生了积极影响。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的““Iron in the dust is incredibly important for life,” he said. Phytoplankton require it to change carbon dioxide into sugars.(“沙尘中的铁对生命至关重要,”他说。浮游植物需要铁才能将二氧化碳转化为糖类)” 可知,铁能帮助浮游植物完成关键的物质转化,从而促进浮游植物生长,而浮游植物又支撑着海洋生态系统,因此铁对海洋生态系统很重要。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段中“He and Owens concluded that during the dust’s several-day transatlantic flight, more and more of its reactive iron was changed — attacked by acids and radiation. (他和Owens得出结论,在沙尘穿越大西洋的几天飞行中,越来越多的活性铁发生了变化——受到酸和辐射的攻击)”可知,沙尘中的活性铁在穿越大西洋的过程中,逐渐被酸和辐射改变,即沙漠尘埃飞得越远,剩下的活性铁就越少。故选D。
【10题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第五段中““There’re photochemical transformations that tend to make the iron more soluble (可溶解的) in water,” said Lyons. He and Owens concluded that during the dust’s several-day transatlantic flight, more and more of its reactive iron was changed — attacked by acids and radiation. As that improved iron later settled into the ocean, it was eaten directly by phytoplankton. (Lyons说:“有一些光化学反应会使铁更容易溶解在水中。”他和Owens得出结论,在沙尘穿越大西洋的几天飞行中,越来越多的活性铁发生了变化——受到酸和辐射的攻击。当这些改良后的铁后来沉积到海洋中时,它们被浮游植物直接吸收了)”可知,第五段主要讲述了沙尘中的铁是如何在大气中发生化学反应,变得更容易被浮游植物吸收的。故选C。
【11题详解】
词句猜测题。根据最后一段““The new results are plausible because previous studies have shown that iron minerals react in the atmosphere,” said Natalie Mahowald, an atmospheric scientist who studies dust at Cornell University. “Their conclusion goes along with what I thought was happening,” she said. (“新的结果是plausible,因为之前的研究表明,铁矿物在大气中会发生反应,”康奈尔大学 (Cornell University) 研究尘埃的大气科学家娜塔莉·马霍瓦尔德 (Natalie Mahowald)说。“他们的结论与我当时的想法一致,”她说。)”可知,Natalie Mahowald认为新的研究结果是可靠的。故选A。
第二节 (共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Everybody lies to some degree. ___12___ However, nobody wants to be caught. Of course there’s a huge gap that separates little white lies from the whoppers (弥天大谎), but learning how to tell if someone is lying is a skill that’ll always come in handy. Here’s what to watch for.
___13___
There are many signs that indicate that someone could be lying. For example, one may make too little or too much eye contact, sweat or flush, and have difficulty controlling the volume and tone of their voice. ___14___ Hand gestures that normally accompany talking may occur with less frequency. Arm and leg movements may also be fewer. It seems that liars (撒谎者) would become more concentrated on telling the lie, so they get quieter in their body.
Ask questions — quickly.
If you suspect you’re being lied to, try this technique, which experts say can trip up a liar. Try asking questions quickly — one after the other. “The first lie is easy.” explains Kang Lee, a professor at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education. “ ___15___ When you continue to ask questions and put people on the spot, it gets harder to maintain the lie.”
Check for emotional “leaks”
Micro-expressions often show a person’s real thoughts. If you were to watch people very closely on videotape, you would see them showing their true emotion just before they show the fake expression designed to cover up the lie. But these extremely brief facial movements, some only lasting a quarter of a second, aren’t easy to spot. ___16___ And intentional liars tend to add other expressions, like smiling, to hide a lie.
So here’s hoping that the next time someone throws a lie your way, you’ll know just how to catch it.
A. Listen to the voices.
B. Get better at body language.
C. The follow-up lie is more difficult.
D. Interestingly, people who are lying often become more still.
E. Even professionals trained in lie detection can’t always tell them apart.
F. In some cultures, it’s considered inappropriate to maintain eye contact.
G. Lies occur between friends, teachers and students, husbands and wives.
【答案】12. G 13. B 14. D 15. C 16. E

42. 这位年轻的小说家致力于创造一部有吸引力的小说。 (commit) (汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The young novelist is committed to creating an attractive/appealing novel.
【解析】
【详解】考查时态,动词短语和非谓语动词。句子描述的是现阶段持续的状态或长期的决心,属于客观存在的事实性情况,用一般现在时。“这位年轻的小说家”用The young novelist;“致力于做某事”用固定短语be committed to doing sth.,主语为单数,be动词用is;“创造”用create,用动名词形式作宾语;“一部有吸引力的小说”用an attractive/appealing novel。故翻译为The young novelist is committed to creating an attractive/appealing novel.
43. 我的朋友说服我将阅读加入我的每日例行,因为我偏好故事。(persuade;preference)(汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】My friend persuaded me to add reading to my daily routine because of my preference for stories.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语、名词短语和原因状语。根据句意,该句描述过去发生的劝说行为及其原因,使用一般过去时;主语“我的朋友”为my friend,位于句首,首字母需大写;表示“说服某人做某事”为persuade sb. to do sth.,谓语动词使用一般过去时,persuade的过去式为persuaded,宾语为“me”,宾语补足语“将……加入……”可译为add… to,使用动词不定式形式作宾语,表示“阅读”为reading作add的宾语,表示“每日例行”为daily routine 作to的宾语;原因状语“因为我偏好故事”译为because of my preference for stories。故翻译为My friend persuaded me to add reading to my daily routine because of my preference for stories.
44. 相比之下,John更适合担任这个职位因为他很可靠,也几乎不缺席工作。(it作形式主语, appropriate) (汉译英)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】In contrast, it is more appropriate for John to hold this position because he is reliable and rarely absent from work.
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配和固定句型。“相比之下”可以用固定搭配in contrast表示;“某人更合适……”可以用固定句型It is more appropriate for somebody to do something,其中it是形式主语,真正的主语是后面的不定式复合结构。“担任这个职位”翻译为hold the position;“因为”用because引导原因状语从句;“他”是he;“可靠”翻译为be reliable,“缺席工作”翻译为be absent from work,主语是he,be动词用is;“几乎不”用副词rarely。故整句翻译为In contrast, it is more appropriate for John to hold this position because he is reliable and rarely absent from work.
45. It is indeed an honour for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world. (英译汉)
【答案】中国的科研和中医药走向世界,确实是一种荣誉。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定句型。分析句子结构可知,这是一个形式主语的句子,真正主语为for China’s scientific research and Chinese medicine to be spread around the world.“中国的科研和中医药走向世界”,系动词is“是”,表语an honour“一种荣誉”,indeed “确实”副词作状语修饰be动词,故可译为:中国的科研和中医药走向世界,确实是一种荣誉。
46. Whatever difficulties you meet in your English study, don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for help. (英译汉)
__________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】无论你在英语学习中遇到什么困难,都不要害怕向老师求助。
【解析】
【详解】考查让步状语从句、动词短语和祈使句结构。分析句子可知,本句为“让步状语从句+主句”结构;Whatever引导让步状语从句,意为“无论什么”,从句主语you译为“你”,谓语meet使用了一般现在时态,译为“遇到”,宾语difficulties译为“困难”,介词短语in your English study作地点状语,译为“在你的英语学习中”;主句为祈使句,don’t be afraid译为“不要害怕”,不定式短语to ask your teacher for help翻译为“向你的老师求助”。故翻译为:无论你在英语学习中遇到什么困难,都不要害怕向老师求助。

第二节(满分25分)
48. 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。
When I was in middle school, my family moved to Seattle, where my parents started their new business — a small grocery store downstairs in my house. As a girl of shy and reserved nature, I had to take a fresh start to fit into the sophisticated city life.
One sunny day, my school announced an exciting event, a talent show for the local food bank. Students were encouraged to showcase their unique talents in front of the public in the city hall on National Day. A buzz of excitement filled the school as everyone began preparing for the big day. Deep down, I felt a spark of curiosity and a desire to participate. However, my self-doubt held me back, “I don’t have any special skills to share.”
Days turned into weeks, and the talent show drew closer. I couldn’t shake the upsetting feeling until one day Emma, one of the most popular girls in my class, came to me while I was helping in the grocery store after class. “How about singing together in the talent show?” she grinned. “I heard you singing a tune, along the way back home. I can’t help following you here.” Dear, I couldn’t believe my ears. Emma, with personality and popularity, acknowledged my little talent. Since Emma had the world’s prettiest voice, I felt like being favoured by fortune.
“You two? The talent show for the food bank?” My mum bent towards us and her face lit up. “Why not practise right now upstairs? I bet you’ll be a perfect match.” Winking at us, she seemed to know we were thinking alike.
Emma and I embarked on rehearsing almost every single day after school. We brainstormed, exchanged ideas and rehearsed the scene. As the days rolled by, I was feeling pretty good about our act. But the day before the performance, Emma called saying that she had an acute stomachache and was not in any shape to perform.

Paragraph 1:
I was completely knocked out by the news.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
Finally came the big moment.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
I was completely knocked out by the news. My heart sank, and I didn’t know what to do. “How can I perform alone?” I asked myself, tears welling up. But my mom said gently, “You’ve practiced so hard; don’t let fear stop you.” That night, I stayed up thinking about whether I should go on stage by myself. Finally, I decided that I would try, because it was for the food bank.
Finally came the big moment. As I walked onto the stage, my hands were shaking, and I could hardly breathe. I closed my eyes and remembered the days when Emma and I sang together, which gave me courage. When I opened my mouth, my voice came out clear and steady. The audience clapped warmly, and I felt proud of myself for the first time. What mattered most was not perfection, but that I dared to try.
