A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma (芳香).
“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, and hard; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.
4. What did the daughter complain to her father?
A. Her uncertainty of life. B. Her refusal to changes.
C. Her tiredness of fighting alone. D. Her struggle to be independent.
5. What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?
A. To boil three things for her. B. To explain to her how to cook.
C. To carry out an experiment with her. D. To give her some inspiration.
6. What can be inferred from the text?
A. The father seemed to be in favor of the egg most.
B. The carrot was likely to be the daughter’s favorite.
C. The three things all stood the test of the boiling water.
D. The ground coffee beans chose to affect their surroundings.
7. What’s the best title for the text?
A. A best choice B. A vivid lesson C. A tough challenge D. A rough ride
C
A simple handshake may reveal more than just a greeting. A new study suggests that the way people shake hands could unconsciously communicate emotions and personality characteristics.
Dr. Emily Carter, a behavioral psychologist leading the research, studies non-verbal (非口头的) communication and its role in relationships. Her curiosity about handshakes began during a leadership workshop. She noticed that participants’ handshakes varied significantly, and she wondered if these differences might carry meaningful information. To test her idea, she and her team conducted an experiment.
The researchers found 200 volunteers and recorded their handshakes using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. Participants were asked to shake hands with strangers, friends, and colleagues under different situations, such as meeting for the first time, resolving a conflict, or celebrating success. The team also measured participants’ heart rates and skin reactions to track emotional responses.
The findings were illuminating. Strong, firm handshakes were often associated with confidence and enthusiasm, while weaker handshakes tended to signal nervousness or discomfort. Notably, longer handshakes with slight upward movements were linked to excitement, while short, rigid ones reflected tension. The study also illustrated that the temperature and moisture (湿度) of a person’s hand could reflect their emotional state. Warmer, slightly sweaty hands were more common when participants felt anxious or stressed, while cooler, dry hands were linked to calmness.
Carter believes these insights have practical applications. For instance, business professionals could use handshake analysis to better understand their clients’ emotions during negotiations. Similarly, advisors might use it as a tool to understand a client’s emotional state without relying only on verbal communication.
However, Carter cautions that handshakes are just one piece of the puzzle. “Human interaction is complex, and something as simple as a handshake can speak volumes,” she says. As scientists continue to explore the mysteries of non-verbal communication, it’s clear that no single gesture can tell the whole story.
8. How did Dr. Carter and her team study handshakes?
A. By conducting surveys. B. By analyzing prior data.
C. By observing participants. D. By interviewing volunteers.
9. What does the underlined word “illuminating” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Convincing. B. Revealing. C. Disturbing. D. Confusing.
10. What can we learn about handshake analysis?
A. It helps interpret hidden emotions. B. It enhances communication skills.
C. It contributes to bonding with clients. D. It facilitates the process of negotiation.
11. What can be inferred about human interaction according to the last paragraph?
A Non-verbal clues often mislead us. B. Handshakes are key to communication.
C. One gesture cannot explain everything. D. Body language speaks louder than words.
D
From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — can avoid the stop-and-go traffic. On a driveway with 15 vehicles per mile, one driver tapping their brakes can cause a persistent traffic jam. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
Previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. So what’s their secret? In a recent study published in Transportation Research, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of 3 to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour hardly tend to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals. That is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says study co-author Nicola Pugno. In his vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would avoid traffic jams by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.
Like ants on a trail, which use scent to control behavior while interacting with one another, the autonomous vehicle network would help cars keep constant speeds while collecting and sharing information. “There is no leader,” but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be very strong and changeable.
Still, ants can do a lot of things that cars can’t, the researcher points out. Ants can make trails as wide as they like, unlike drivers stuck on highways. Plus, unlike cars, ants don’t crash; they can literally walk over one another. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: by leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise lead to a traffic jam with no obvious cause.
12. Which does not contribute to ants’ stable traffic at high densities?
A. Steady speed. B. Proper distance. C. Continuous movement. D. Team spirit.
13 Which of the following agrees with Nicola Pugno’s opinion?
A. Human drivers usually follow the traffic rules at rush hour.
B. Autonomous vehicles may be programmed to improve traffic situation.
C. Human drivers will drive more slowly than autonomous vehicles.
D. Prioritizing interests can definitely lead to inefficient traffic flow.
14. What can we learn about autonomous vehicle network?
A. It can keep vehicle speed under control. B. It can use scent to communicate with vehicles.
C. It can provide drivers with changeable routes. D. It can form a solid and flexible traffic system.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What ants will do when they face traffic jams. B. What we can benefit from autonomous vehicles.
C. Why we should keep good distances while driving. D. How ants may save you from future traffic jams.

阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Lying on the sofa, eyes half-closed, one part of your brain screams that you should be sleeping, but the other is whispering just one more episode, one more level on that game. ____16____ As defined by researchers Kroese, it is the habit of needlessly and voluntarily delaying going to bed.
Why do we keep stuck in the cycle of bedtime procrastination (拖延)? The answer, it turns out, is a mix of digital distractions and our own psychological tendencies. ____17____ Besides, when we’re dealing with negative emotions, it’s appealing to drown them out with some entertainment until we’re too tired to feel anything.
How can we break the bad cycle and get back our good night’s sleep? Here are some practical strategies.
Establish a consistent bedtime routine. Think back to your childhood. Many of us had bedtime routines that included a set sleep time, a story, or perhaps a bedtime song. As adults, we can benefit from the same consistency. ____18____.
Manage digital distractions. ____19____ They entertain, educate, and connect us, but they also distract and keep us awake. Try to make special tech-free times or zones in the bedroom. Use apps or tools that limit screen time or switch your device to nighttime mode to reduce blue light exposure.
____20____ When those negative emotions keep us up, we need to address them directly. Relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing, yoga, or meditation, can help calm our minds and prepare us for sleep.
Above all, breaking the cycle of bedtime procrastination won’t happen overnight, but every effort you make, every new habit you form, is a step in the right direction.
A. Our smart devices are double-edged swords.
B. So what exactly is this bedtime procrastination?
C. Identify the causes of it and start making changes.
D. Master stress and anxiety management techniques.
E. We can set a regular sleep schedule and try to stick to it.
F. As life goes tech-driven, we spend more time on screens.

Without ____24____, Kristen accepted the idea. She immediately ____25____ weaving looms and materials for both of us online, calling our project “Patti’s Pot Holders”. And so, our weekly crafting sessions began.
We spend time ____26____ the instructions through the Skype video call: ____27____ the threads horizontally (水平地) to the sides of the frame, then weaving others over and under them. It required ____28____ and patience. However, as our fingers grew more skilled with the rhythm of the work, a wonderful ____29____ occurred. We found we could work almost ____30____, freeing us to have long conversations.
Our talks grew ____31____. We asked each other honest questions and shared true feelings. I felt I learned more about my daughter than when she lived ____32____.
Now, the colorful pot holders I’ve made so far ____33____ on my kitchen wall like an art display. But what ____34____ most was the bond we built through those shared hours across the miles. Like angels flying between Philadelphia and San Francisco, our love found a new way to ____35____.

It all began one ordinary afternoon in world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new group project. We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we each wrote down the names of three friends we hoped to work with. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B said she would consider our choices and announce the groups the next day. I had no doubt that I would be with my best friend. We had chosen each other.
The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. B called for our attention and started to read out the group lists. When she reached group three, my best friend’s name was called, followed by three others—but not mine. There had to be some mistakes!
Then I heard my name in the last group—with Linn, who always kept to herself, Marsha, who had just transferred to our school from South Africa, and Jeremy, who spoke typical Japanese English!
Tears welled up in my eyes. How could I face being in a group with “the invisible”! I just wanted to be with my friends.
Fighting back tears, I walked up to Mrs. B She seemed to know what I was going to say. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why?” I started.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder, “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I’m counting on you to help them do the job well. Only you can.” She looked into my eyes and continued, “Get to know them, and you might be surprised at what they can do.”
I was stunned, humbled, and deeply moved. “So, will you help them?” she asked. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied.
注意:

A daughter complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know if she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Her father, a cook, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.
The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her, he asked, “Darling, what do you see?”
“Carrots, eggs, and coffee,” she replied.
He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma (芳香).
“What does it mean, father?” she humbly asked.
He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, and hard; but after being subjected to the boiling water, it became softened and weak. The egg had been fragile; its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior; but after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened.
The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had changed the water.
“Which are you?” he asked his daughter.
4. What did the daughter complain to her father?
A. Her uncertainty of life. B. Her refusal to changes.
C. Her tiredness of fighting alone. D. Her struggle to be independent.
5. What did the father take his daughter to the kitchen for?

C
A simple handshake may reveal more than just a greeting. A new study suggests that the way people shake hands could unconsciously communicate emotions and personality characteristics.
Dr. Emily Carter, a behavioral psychologist leading the research, studies non-verbal (非口头的) communication and its role in relationships. Her curiosity about handshakes began during a leadership workshop. She noticed that participants’ handshakes varied significantly, and she wondered if these differences might carry meaningful information. To test her idea, she and her team conducted an experiment.
The researchers found 200 volunteers and recorded their handshakes using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. Participants were asked to shake hands with strangers, friends, and colleagues under different situations, such as meeting for the first time, resolving a conflict, or celebrating success. The team also measured participants’ heart rates and skin reactions to track emotional responses.
The findings were illuminating. Strong, firm handshakes were often associated with confidence and enthusiasm, while weaker handshakes tended to signal nervousness or discomfort. Notably, longer handshakes with slight upward movements were linked to excitement, while short, rigid ones reflected tension. The study also illustrated that the temperature and moisture (湿度) of a person’s hand could reflect their emotional state. Warmer, slightly sweaty hands were more common when participants felt anxious or stressed, while cooler, dry hands were linked to calmness.
Carter believes these insights have practical applications. For instance, business professionals could use handshake analysis to better understand their clients’ emotions during negotiations. Similarly, advisors might use it as a tool to understand a client’s emotional state without relying only on verbal communication.
However, Carter cautions that handshakes are just one piece of the puzzle. “Human interaction is complex, and something as simple as a handshake can speak volumes,” she says. As scientists continue to explore the mysteries of non-verbal communication, it’s clear that no single gesture can tell the whole story.
8. How did Dr. Carter and her team study handshakes?
A. By conducting surveys. B. By analyzing prior data.
C. By observing participants. D. By interviewing volunteers.
9. What does the underlined word “illuminating” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Convincing. B. Revealing. C. Disturbing. D. Confusing.
10. What can we learn about handshake analysis?
A. It helps interpret hidden emotions. B. It enhances communication skills.
C. It contributes to bonding with clients. D. It facilitates the process of negotiation.
11. What can be inferred about human interaction according to the last paragraph?
A. Non-verbal clues often mislead us. B. Handshakes are key to communication.
C. One gesture cannot explain everything. D. Body language speaks louder than words.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项新研究发现握手方式能无意识传递情绪与性格特质,以及研究过程、结果、应用及对人际互动的启示。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The researchers found 200 volunteers and recorded their handshakes using high-speed cameras and pressure sensors. Participants were asked to shake hands with strangers, friends, and colleagues under different situations, such as meeting for the first time, resolving a conflict, or celebrating success. The team also measured participants’ heart rates and skin reactions to track emotional responses.(研究人员找到了200名志愿者,并使用高速摄像机和压力传感器记录他们的握手情况。参与者被要求在不同场景下与陌生人、朋友和同事握手,例如初次见面、解决冲突或庆祝成功。该团队还测量了参与者的心率和皮肤反应,以追踪他们的情绪反应)”可知,卡特博士及其团队通过使用设备记录志愿者在不同场景下的握手、心率和皮肤反应来研究握手,本质是对参与者的观察。故选C项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中的“Strong, firm handshakes were often associated with confidence and enthusiasm, while weaker handshakes tended to signal nervousness or discomfort. Notably, longer handshakes with slight upward movements were linked to excitement, while short, rigid ones reflected tension. The study also illustrated that the temperature and moisture (湿度) of a person’s hand could reflect their emotional state. Warmer, slightly sweaty hands were more common when participants felt anxious or stressed, while cooler, dry hands were linked to calmness.(有力、坚定的握手通常与自信和热情相关,而无力的握手往往暗示紧张或不适。值得注意的是,时间较长且带有轻微向上动作的握手与兴奋有关,而短暂、僵硬的握手则反映出紧张。该研究还表明,一个人手的温度和湿度可以反映其情绪状态。当参与者感到焦虑或压力大时,手部温暖且略带潮湿的情况更为常见,而手部凉爽、干燥则与平静有关)”可知,后文详细阐述了研究得出的关于握手与情绪、性格关联的具体结论,这些结论是有启发意义、能揭示真相的,因此“illuminating”意为“揭示真相的、有启发作用的”,与“Revealing”含义相近。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A new study suggests that the way people shake hands could unconsciously communicate emotions and personality characteristics.(一项新研究表明,人们的握手方式可能会无意识地传递情绪和性格特质)”以及第五段中的“For instance, business professionals could use handshake analysis to better understand their clients’ emotions during negotiations. Similarly, advisors might use it as a tool to understand a client’s emotional state without relying only on verbal communication.(例如,商业人士可以利用握手分析在谈判中更好地理解客户的情绪。同样,顾问也可以将其作为一种工具,不单纯依赖语言交流就能了解客户的情绪状态)”可知,握手分析有助于解读人们隐藏的情绪。故选A项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“However, Carter cautions that handshakes are just one piece of the puzzle. “Human interaction is complex, and something as simple as a handshake can speak volumes,” she says. As scientists continue to explore the mysteries of non-verbal communication, it’s clear that no single gesture can tell the whole story. (然而,卡特提醒道,握手只是其中的一部分。“人际互动很复杂,像握手这样简单的动作也能传递很多信息,”她说。随着科学家们继续探索非语言交流的奥秘,很明显,没有任何一个单一的手势能说明全部情况)”可知,卡特指出握手只是人际互动中的一个部分,没有单一手势能解释所有情况。由此推知,人际互动中一个手势无法说明一切。故选C项。
D
From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — can avoid the stop-and-go traffic. On a driveway with 15 vehicles per mile, one driver tapping their brakes can cause a persistent traffic jam. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.
Previous research had shown that ants can maintain their flow even at high densities. So what’s their secret? In a recent study published in Transportation Research, researchers recorded ants on trails and used traffic-engineering models to analyze their movement. They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of 3 to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others.
Human drivers at rush hour hardly tend to follow such rules. “We’re maximizing the interests of individuals. That is why, at a given point, you start to have a traffic jam,” says study co-author Nicola Pugno. In his vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would avoid traffic jams by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.
Like ants on a trail, which use scent to control behavior while interacting with one another, the autonomous vehicle network would help cars keep constant speeds while collecting and sharing information. “There is no leader,” but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be very strong and changeable.
Still, ants can do a lot of things that cars can’t, the researcher points out. Ants can make trails as wide as they like, unlike drivers stuck on highways. Plus, unlike cars, ants don’t crash; they can literally walk over one another. Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: by leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise lead to a traffic jam with no obvious cause.
12. Which does not contribute to ants’ stable traffic at high densities?
A. Steady speed. B. Proper distance. C. Continuous movement. D. Team spirit.
13. Which of the following agrees with Nicola Pugno’s opinion?
A. Human drivers usually follow the traffic rules at rush hour.
B. Autonomous vehicles may be programmed to improve traffic situation.
C. Human drivers will drive more slowly than autonomous vehicles.
D. Prioritizing interests can definitely lead to inefficient traffic flow.
14. What can we learn about autonomous vehicle network?
A. It can keep vehicle speed under control. B. It can use scent to communicate with vehicles.
C. It can provide drivers with changeable routes. D. It can form a solid and flexible traffic system.
15. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. What ants will do when they face traffic jams. B. What we can benefit from autonomous vehicles.
C. Why we should keep good distances while driving. D. How ants may save you from future traffic jams.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究人员通过研究蚂蚁在高密度交通下的行为模式,发现蚂蚁通过保持稳定的行进速度和相互间适当的距离来避免交通堵塞,进而探讨如何将这些策略应用于自动驾驶汽车,以减少或避免交通拥堵。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“They found that the ants don’t jam because they travel in groups of 3 to 20 that move at nearly constant rates while keeping good distances between one another and they don’t speed up to pass others.(他们发现,这些蚂蚁不会发生拥堵现象,这是因为它们以3至20只为一组进行移动,移动速度几乎保持恒定,同时彼此之间保持着适当的距离,并且它们不会加速超越其他蚂蚁)”可知,蚂蚁在高密度下交通稳定的原因包括“速度稳定”、“适当距离”和“持续移动”,未提及“团队精神”。故选D项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In his vision of this future, autonomous vehicles would avoid traffic jams by prioritizing constant speeds and headways or by not passing others on the road.(在他对这一未来的设想中,自动驾驶车辆将通过保持恒定速度和车距,或者不在道路上超越其他车辆的方式来避免交通拥堵)”可知,Nicola Pugno认为自动驾驶汽车可以通过编程来改善交通状况,即自动驾驶汽车可能被编程以改善交通状况。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Like ants on a trail, which use scent to control behavior while interacting with one another, the autonomous vehicle network would help cars keep constant speeds while collecting and sharing information. “There is no leader,” but this organization emerges anyway, says Noa Pinter-Wollman. And in both ant and vehicle traffic, this type of distributed system can be very strong and changeable.(就像蚂蚁沿着路径移动时依靠气味来协调彼此之间的行为一样,自动驾驶车辆网络也能帮助车辆保持恒定的速度,并收集和共享信息。诺亚·皮特尔-沃尔曼表示:“没有领导者”,但这种组织还是会出现的。而且在蚂蚁和车辆的交通中,这种分布式系统都可能非常强大且具有可变性)”可知,自动驾驶汽车网络将帮助汽车保持恒定速度,同时收集和共享信息,这种分布式系统都非常强大且可变。由此推知,自动驾驶汽车网络可以形成一个坚固而灵活的交通系统。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段“From an airplane, cars crawling down the highway look like ants. But actual ants — unlike cars — can avoid the stop-and-go traffic. On a driveway with 15 vehicles per mile, one driver tapping their brakes can cause a persistent traffic jam. Researchers are now studying these insects’ cooperative strategies to learn how to program self-driving cars that don’t jam up.(从飞机上俯瞰,高速公路上缓慢行驶的汽车看起来就像蚂蚁一般渺小。但真正的蚂蚁——与汽车不同——能够避开这种时停时走的交通状况。在每英里有 15 辆车的车道上,一位司机猛踩刹车就可能引发持续的交通堵塞。研究人员正在研究这些昆虫的协作策略,以了解如何设计不会造成交通堵塞的自动驾驶汽车)”和最后一段“Today’s drivers can learn at least one thing from ants to avoid causing a traffic jam: by leaving room between their car and the one ahead of them, drivers can absorb a wave of braking in dense traffic conditions that would otherwise lead to a traffic jam with no obvious cause.(如今的司机们可以从蚂蚁身上学到至少一点经验,以避免造成交通堵塞:在车与前车之间留出一段距离,这样在交通拥堵的情况下,司机们就能吸收一波刹车冲击力,否则这种冲击力可能会导致毫无明显原因的交通堵塞)”可知,文章围绕蚂蚁的交通策略展开,说明其对解决人类交通拥堵的启发,尤其是对自动驾驶汽车的借鉴意义。由此可知,“蚂蚁如何帮你摆脱未来交通拥堵”可以概括本文的主题。故选D项。

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。
It all began one ordinary afternoon in world history class when Mrs. Bartlett announced a new group project. We were asked to create a newspaper about the culture we were studying.
On a piece of paper, we each wrote down the names of three friends we hoped to work with. After collecting all the requests, Mrs. B said she would consider our choices and announce the groups the next day. I had no doubt that I would be with my best friend. We had chosen each other.
The next day, after the bell rang, Mrs. B called for our attention and started to read out the group lists. When she reached group three, my best friend’s name was called, followed by three others—but not mine. There had to be some mistakes!
Then I heard my name in the last group—with Linn, who always kept to herself, Marsha, who had just transferred to our school from South Africa, and Jeremy, who spoke typical Japanese English!
Tears welled up in my eyes. How could I face being in a group with “the invisible”! I just wanted to be with my friends.
Fighting back tears, I walked up to Mrs. B She seemed to know what I was going to say. I was determined to convince her I should be in the “good” group. “Why?” I started.
She gently placed a hand on my shoulder, “I know what you want, Karina,” she said, “but your group needs you. I’m counting on you to help them do the job well. Only you can.” She looked into my eyes and continued, “Get to know them, and you might be surprised at what they can do.”
I was stunned, humbled, and deeply moved. “So, will you help them?” she asked. “Since you trust me, let me try,” I replied.

The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】例文
I gathered them to discuss how to finish our job. I started by encouraging them to share their thoughts. Linn had a deep understanding of the cultural details, Marsha brought unique insights from her South African background, and Jeremy’s knowledge of Japanese culture was impressive. We divided the tasks based on everyone’s strengths. Every time we met, we communicated actively, and the initial awkwardness gradually turned into a harmonious collaboration. To our surprise, the newspaper we created was graded A.
The real success of our group wasn’t just the A we received. It was the friendships we built and the lessons we learned. I got to know Linn, Marsha, and Jeremy beyond my initial impressions. We started hanging out after school, sharing stories from our different cultures. Mrs. Bartlett’s decision taught me not to judge people by their appearance. This project made me realize that diversity can bring unexpected strengths, and stepping out of my comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Karina原本满心期待与好友同组完成历史课报纸项目,却发现被分到与内向的Linn、新转学的Marsha和说话带日本口音的Jeremy一组。她因无法与朋友合作而委屈落泪,甚至想找老师换组。但老师指出“这个小组需要你”,并鼓励她用心了解组员、发掘他们的潜力,Karina深受触动。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“我召集他们讨论如何完成我们的工作。”可知,第一段可描写小组队员的优势,以及作者和小组队员分工合作并取得优异成绩。
②由第二段首句内容“我们小组的真正成功不仅仅是我们得到了A。”可知,第二段可描写作者认为自己团队取得成功的原因和感悟。
2. 续写线索:分享想法——发现优势——分工合作——获得A——感悟。
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①分配:divide/allocate
②交流:communicate/interact
③变成:turn into/transform into
情绪类
①惊讶:surprise/astonishment
②尴尬:awkwardness/embarrassment
【点睛】【高分句型1】Every time we met, we communicated actively, and the initial awkwardness gradually turned into a harmonious collaboration.(动用了every time引导的时间状语从句)
【高分句型2】This project made me realize that diversity can bring unexpected strengths, and stepping out of my comfort zone can lead to wonderful surprises.(动用了that引导的宾语从句)
