OUR JUDGING TEAM
Gillian Burke, biologist
“Achingly beautiful.This piece is nearperfect as far as I am concerned.It hit every mark, delivering all the elements set out in the brief and more.I could read it again and again...”

“I loved the ‘Hansel's bread crumbs of the Scarlet Pimpernel path’ that led you back to the past, to a Lost Eden.The line ‘the thaw (天气回暖期) never came for our moorland household’ has such dramatic power.”
Cal Flyn, journalist and author
“What a striking piece of writing.This was lyrical, knowledgeable and showed deep connection to a place.It also came with an emotional hit that made me want to lie down.”
Joe Pontin, editor and chair of the judging panel

(2025·北京朝阳高二上期末)When I got my first research project to work, I was so excited.Seeing research in action was enjoyable.My excitement, though, was soon cut short when my professor asked me to write a research paper on the project.My body tensed.Writing was the last thing I wanted to do; it's one reason why I pursued science in the first place.
I had hated writing since I was a little boy.But I couldn't avoid it: writing classes were required in high school.For hours, I stared at blank pages, trying to turn my disorganised thoughts into fluent sentences.My teachers would return my papers littered with red, showing my paragraphs were out of order.I was frustrated to no end.How could I know what was good if there was no objectively right answer? Maybe I wasn't cut out for writing.
I studied engineering in college.A few years later, I joined a research lab.The professor assigned me an initial project to improve the efficiency of an inductor (电路感应器).I spent weeks setting up a test for a new design.When I got the results, though, the numbers weren't good.I kept trying new designs, using the results to brainstorm ideas with a team of researchers.Finally, after dozens of designs, we had one that could work.I was overjoyed—until my professor told me to write that research paper.
In panic, I asked a graduate student in my lab for help.I carefully wrote an outline.But when I asked him for feedback, I soon found the paper full of red marks.Before I could quit in defeat, though, the graduate student explained red didn't mean I was a bad writer.Writing isn't a oneanddone thing.It requires revising your work, often several times.Suddenly it occurred to me, “Hadn't I done the same thing when I was designing my research project?” I kept improving my outline, eventually turning it into sentences and paragraphs, guided by feedback from others.Finally, I made it, and surprisingly, I was having fun.
From then on, writing became one of my favourite parts of research, and it still is today.It's a future I never could have imagined during my early struggles with writing classes.But I came around.

6.Which word would best describe the author's final research design?
A.Hardearned. B.Confusing.
C.Wellknown. D.Worrying.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第三段的描述可知,作者接到提高电路感应器效率的项目后,经过几十次的尝试后,才终于有了一个可行的方案。可以看出这个最终的研究设计是作者付出了大量的时间、精力,经过反复尝试、不断努力才得来的。由此推断出,A选项“Hardearned(来之不易的,辛苦获得的)”很好地体现了这个最终设计是经过作者艰辛努力才得到的这一特点。故选A。

(2025·湖南长沙高二上期中)I was in middle school when I had my first bout with anxiety, it began when I struggled with the pressure of being on a sports team.Being constantly compared to others caused a pit in my stomach that kept rising.I was scared and uncomfortable.
I had to find a way to cope.My therapist taught me to fill in the gaps, because anxiety would show up on and on its own schedule, and I had to be prepared to deal with it.I knew I had to turn to something I enjoyed in order to cope.I love to write.As a child, my father always influenced me to write my own story.In middle school, I wrote letters to my future self in a diary.Today, I run the feature section in our student newspaper La Vista, which interviews student staff and alumni about their hobbies they've turned into passions.
In the beginning, I didn't know what to write.But as the words began to flow, I began acknowledging feelings I'd been pushing down.If I experienced uneasiness, even queasiness, I'd write about it.If I felt guilty for having anxiety, I'd write about it.If I felt like everyone else was handling their anxiety way better than me, I'd write about it.Writing allowed me to look at my feelings as a third person, and just as a friend might tell you that you're being too hard on yourself, or it only looks like people are handling their anxiety well.Writing allowed me to look at the absurdity and the high standards I set for myself.Writing opens up my heart and relinquishes the pit in my stomach that tells me I am not good enough, or I will make the wrong decision.
As I write more and more, it's like exercise.Maybe I don't want to get started, but as I move the pen across the page, I feel stronger.I feel proud of myself.I feel a sense of accomplishment.The actual content of what I write is less important than writing itself.I kept writing, it is powerful to me, and I see it has the power to calm me down and sharpen my focus.Writing has been a gift.

(2025·吉林G8教务联盟高二上期末)On the website of the EU Prize for Women Innovators, there are dozens of inspiring stories of female leaders alongside pictures of these professionallooking women wearing single color business suits.But when we move the page down a little further, Ailbhe and Izzy's pictures pop off the page, with their eyecatching colors and bright rainbow patterns, which is entirely in line with their company belief “If you can't stand up, stand out.” The fashionable sisters took the world by storm with their personalized wheelchair decorations.
Ailbhe, now 25, was four years old when she became a big sister to Izzy.Although Izzy was born disabled and couldn't move from the waist down, her courage and energy deeply impressed Ailbhe and the two sisters developed a lifelong friendship.They spent hours as children decorating Izzy's wheelchairs and her other mobility devices.So when Ailbhe graduated from the National College of Art and had to complete a final year project, she knew what to choose—dress up a wheelchair's wheels! Ailbhe said, “The wheelchair itself didn't show Izzy's attitudes to life, or her energetic personality.It was ugly and made you lose confidence.I thought there might be a way of bridging that gap.”
Ailbhe's project was extremely well received at her school's design show.Izzy loved the new wheels as well.A state organization helped the sisters work with fashion designers and get their business to take off.The next step for the sisters was partnering with big companies which were interested in representing people with disabilities.They turned to Disney.After all, this cooperation would involve one of their favorite activities—watching Disney movies! Besides, Disney was willing to donate 10% of profits to a charity that helps disabled children.In addition, the company promised to realize the dreams of children with disabilities.
The sisters are excited for their creativity to make life in a wheelchair more fashionable, fun and personalized.

C.Her pity for Izzy's disability.
D.Her admiration for great women.
解析:选B。推理判断题。第二段说Ailbhe 选择的最后一年的项目就是装扮轮椅的轮子。因为她认为轮椅本身并不能展现伊兹对生活的态度,也体现不出她充满活力的个性。可推断出启发Ailbhe选择她最后一年的项目的是她想要通过装饰轮椅来展示真正的Izzy。故选B。

(2025·江苏南通高二上期中)Many of us have a dream that we would love to achieve.Having dreams is fine, but achieving them is another thing.It covers a lot of elements, like determination, motivation, singlemindedness, courage, commitment and so on.16( ) Staying motivated can be hard, especially if you think you are being frustrated frequently.
How do we get motivated to realize our dreams? The first thing that can't be ignored is to figure out our dreams.Actually, our dream is usually a bit vague.17( ) The next step is to turn it into a series of goals.A longterm goal will be the ultimate dream—let's say, setting up a new business.Shortterm and mediumterm goals will be the stages on the road to the final goal.
If you have set goals step by step, it's time to keep yourself motivated.Above all, being positive is of great importance.18( ) Once faced with such situations, you should find a support system.After all, surroundings have a great influence on what people are like.In view of this, you'd better mix with motivated people around us to keep you in high spirits.Because such guys always smile at any difficulties, firmly believing that after the wind and rain, there is a rainbow.19( ) And they can provide you with positive emotional value, such as encouragement, support and appreciation.If surrounded by those people, how can you suffer from frustration and negative thoughts?
20( ) What you should do is tackle it as soon as you realize your motivation has gone.Think about why your selfmotivation has been lost and then look at how you can bring it back.Don't ignore it or you will come to regret your lack of action.Work to get that selfmotivation back and get back on the road to success.
A.Your plan itself is a foundation of selfmotivation.
B.So it is necessary to make a clear whole plan in advance.
C.Their optimism and confidence must reflect back on you.
D.Among them, I think motivation is the most important one.
E.In addition, it is important not to worry about losing motivation.
F.There are so many sources available to anyone seeking motivation.
G.However, you are often stuck in frustration and even doubt yourself.

[语篇解读]本文为一篇夹叙夹议文,通过讲述三位作家在成名前经历了挫折但是努力坚持最终成功的事迹,告诉我们面对挫折,要坚持下去,最终会实现梦想。
36.解析:previously。考查副词。设空处单词修饰句子的谓语动词had faced,要用其副词形式作状语。故填previously。
37.解析:whom。考查定语从句。设空处是both+of(介词)+关系代词引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词J.K Rowling and J.D.Salinger,先行词是指“人”,所以介词后只能用关系代词whom。故填whom。
38.解析:on。考查介词。根据语境此处考查concentrate on短语,专注于。故填on。
39.解析:what。考查宾语从句。设空处引导宾语从句,充当did的宾语。引导词在宾语从句中充当they can (do)的宾语,要用what引导。故填what。

43.解析:perseverance。考查名词。设空处单词是句子的主语,所以要用其名词形式。故填perseverance。
44.解析:Inspired。考查非谓语动词。设空处引导的是非谓语动词作状语,与其逻辑主语we之间是被动关系,要用过去分词形式,置于句首,单词首字母要大写。故填Inspired。
45.解析:harming。考查非谓语动词。设空处是非谓语动词作定语,与其所修饰的名词the setbacks之间是主动关系,要用现在分词形式。故选harming。

(2025·吉林八校高二上期末)When Jaron Casillas was very young, his parents discovered that he saw the world a bit differently.Take the Texas sunrise for example.
One morning, Jaron's mom was driving him to school beneath an especially spectacular Texas sunrise.She heard his little voice from the car seat behind her say, “Look, Mommy! Look at the beautiful green sunshine!” She turned to look at it.The rising sun was so beautiful, flooding the earth with warm and red light.However, Jaron's mom was about to cry.“Oh dear, my poor boy,” she thought.
Without delay, the parents rushed Jaron to the hospital for a visual checkup, which turned out to be color blindness.
On that fateful day, Jaron's parents were shocked to learn that their son was color blind—a condition that affects a person's ability to see colors in the same way as others.There is no cure, but special glasses can help individuals like Jaron distinguish between different colors.Unfortunately, these glasses are often too expensive for most families to afford.
The parents were sad, but Jaron remained calm and even comforted his parents.He saw his condition as something special and decided to keep it a secret.However, his silence caused him to feel left out when others talked about colors.
One day, during a class discussion, the teacher, Christina Hayes, asked the students to share a secret about themselves.Working up his courage, Jaron revealed his condition to his classmates, explaining that he saw gray instead of colors like purple, green, and blue.When the teacher asked if there was anything that could help him, Jaron mentioned the special glasses, but noted that they were too expensive for his family.
Hearing Jaron's words, the teacher fought back tears and praised the boy for his bravery.The other students looked at Jaron with newfound understanding and empathy.
注意:1.续写词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
After class, Jaron's classmates privately approached Ms.Hayes.
Seeing the special glasses, Jaron was puzzled.
