But that didn’t stop these three women from taking off and doing big things. Jeanne Baret(1740—1807): Baret was a French scientist. She studied plants. And she was the first woman to sail around the world. In 1766, Baret wanted to set sail with a group of scientists. But they were all men. Women weren’t allowed to travel on French navy ships.

And she led an archeological (考古的) dig there. She was the first woman to do this. Nellie Bly(1864—1922): Bly was a reporter. In 1887, she wrote a story about hidden problems at a hospital.

Performers usually tell stories in teahouses or small theaters, attracting listeners with their voices and gestures. To learn Pingshu well, artists need years of training. Most of them learn by studying under experienced performers. As one famous artist, Yuan Kuocheng, said, Pingshu is “both mental and physical work.” Performers must memorize long stories and add their own words to make the old stories more attractive. They also need to understand the deeper meanings of the stories and share their thoughts with the listeners. During performances, artists stand behind a table. They use tools like a folding fan and a wooden block called Xingmu. The fan helps act out scenes, such as “drawing a sword(剑).” The Xingmu is knocked on the table to mark the start of the story or to highlight exciting moments. Modern technology has brought both challenges and chances to Pingshu. Since young people today prefer online entertainment, technology allows artists to record their performances. These recordings can be shared widely, helping more people discover Pingshu. Digital methods also protect this art for future people. More often than not, those who listen to Pingshu stories belong to older generations (辈). While most young people spend hours online, a small number still find value in Pingshu, drawn by its cultural richness and storytelling traditions. In summary, Pingshu is not just entertainment—it carries Chinese culture and wisdom. Through stories, performers connect the past with the present, offering listeners both fun and life lessons. 14. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Pingshu artists can master the skill within a few months. B. Memorizing stories is less important than physical gestures. C. Learning Pingshu requires both time and guidance from experts. D. Performers need to create completely new stories to attract today’s listeners. 15. What tool is NOT needed during a Pingshu performance? A. A folding fan to act out scenes. B. A wooden block to mark key moments. C. A table to stand behind while performing. D. A microphone to make their voices louder. 16. Which group will most likely attend Pingshu performances? A. Teenagers who prefer online short videos. B. Older people and some young adults who value traditional culture. C. Foreign tourists visiting modern theaters. D. Children learning to play musical instruments. 17. What is modern technology’s influence on Pingshu? A. It allows artists to perform without live listeners. B. It reduces the need for performers to memorize stories. C. It spreads Pingshu to more people and protects its future. D. It forces performers to use digital tools during shows. 【答案】14. C 15. D 16. B 17. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了中国传统说书艺术“评书”的历史、学习要求、表演工具，同时讲述了现代科技对评书的影响及它的受众群体，点明评书不仅是娱乐，更承载着中国文化与智慧。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据“To learn Pingshu well, artists need years of training. Most of them learn by studying under experienced performers”可知，学习评书需要时间和资深表演者的指导。故选C。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据“artists stand behind a table. They use tools like a folding fan and a wooden block called Xingmu”可知，评书表演需要桌子、折扇、醒木，未提及麦克风。故选D。 【16题详解】 细节理解题。根据“those who listen to Pingshu stories belong to older generations... a small number still find value in Pingshu, drawn by its cultural richness”可知，评书的受众主要是老年人和部分重视传统文化的年轻人。故选B。 【17题详解】 细节理解题。根据“These recordings can be shared widely, helping more people discover Pingshu. Digital methods also protect this art for future people”可知，现代科技能让评书传播给更多人，并保护这门艺术的未来。故选C。 C One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate change, autumn is changing. According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.” Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.” If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to slow down this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently. Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow. 18. Which is the effect of climate change on autumn? A. The season length is becoming shorter. B. Leaves are changing their colors and falling later. C. There are more frosts in autumn. D. Pests are no longer active. 19. What does the word “ruin” most likely mean in the passage? A. Cause damage. B. Improve greatly. C. Become more colorful. D. Change completely. 20. What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to? A. The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s lives. B. Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before. C. The autumn changes because of climate change. D. Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions. 21. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To call for actions against climate change. B. To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. C. To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D. To explain the research about leaf phenology. 【答案】18. B 19. A 20. C 21. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了气候变化对秋天的影响（如树叶变色、落叶推迟、霜冻延后等），同时指出限制碳排放可减缓这些变化，呼吁人们保护秋天。 【18题详解】 细节理解题。根据“the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors”及“Trees are holding onto their leaves longer”可知，气候变化使树叶变色和掉落的时间延后。故选B。 【19题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“However, because of climate change, autumn is changing.”和第二段“And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season.”可知，气候变化正在“破坏”秋天。结合上下文，ruin表示“造成损害”。故选A。 【20题详解】 词句猜测题。根据前文“because of climate change, autumn is changing”及相关影响的描述可知，“this development”指代的是“气候变化带来的秋天的变化”。故选C。 【21题详解】 主旨大意题。根据“if humans limited the carbon emissions... stop the worst effects”及“The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory” 可知，文章目的是呼吁人们采取行动应对气候变化，保护秋天。故选A。 D When winter arrived, the porcupine looked for somewhere nice and warm to live. He ran into the woods, looking around for a place. First, he came to a fallen tree trunk. “This looks like a suitable place!” he said, digging a hole in its side. But when he poked his head in, he heard “You can’t stay here. It’s our home, and breakfast, lunch and dinner!” said hundreds of tiny termites (白蚁). The porcupine apologized and backed away. “Now, where can I go?” he wondered. Then he found a space under a thick bush that seemed to be protected from the wind, so he tried crawling in there. “Hey!” hissed the lynx (猞猁), showing her sharp paws. “This is my place, and don’t you forget it!” The porcupine went away in a hurry—he didn’t want any trouble. The poor porcupine was really getting worried, “I might freeze if I don’t find somewhere to stay soon!” he said, his teeth chattering. A snake overheard the porcupine and felt sorry for him. She poked her head out of her hole and said, “Would you like to stay in here with me? My home is quite small, but I’m sure we can both fit!” The porcupine was ever so thankful. He pushed his way into the snake’s narrow home. “This is so nice!” he said. “How kind of you to let me in!” However, when the snake tried to get to sleep, she found it impossible to get into a comfortable position. Twist and turn as she might, she was always getting hurt by the porcupine’s spines. “Can you move over a bit?” she asked. The porcupine tried, but it didn’t help! They both spent an uneasy night in the little burrow and hardly slept at all! “I really wanted to help the poor porcupine,” the snake thought, “but I wish I’d never invited him in.” The porcupine was feeling just as upset. When morning came, he cleared his throat and said, “I’m sorry that things are so uncomfortable, especially as you have been so kind. I think I have an idea, if you agree!” The snake was still painful and tired from her sleepless night, so she just nodded. With his paws, the porcupine began scratching (刨) at the hole’s walls. As the snake watched in wonder, the porcupine dug out an extra room that was just the right size for him. “There you are!” he said in a satisfied voice. “Now there is plenty of room for both of us!” The snake and the porcupine shared that burrow all winter. It was warmer with the two of them in it, and there was enough space for both animals to sleep comfortably. The snake enjoyed the stories the porcupine told, and the porcupine was impressed by the snake’s skills at finding food. Their unlikely friendship made winter less lonely for both of them. “I’m glad I let you in!” the snake hissed, “It’s really nice to share my home!” 22. How many times had the porcupine tried before being invited by the snake? A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times. 23. How did the snake’s feelings change? A. scared→helpless→curious B. interested→nervous→calm C. worried→thankful→pleased D. sorry→uncomfortable→happy 24. Which sentence in the story shows the porcupine’s return for the snake’s kindness? A. He pushed his way into the snake’s narrow home. B. He ran into the woods, looking around for a place. C. The porcupine went away in a hurry—he didn’t want any trouble. D. With his paws, the porcupine began scratching at the hole’s walls. 25. Which saying best expresses the theme of this story? A. When we give, we receive. B. Home is where the heart is. C A miss is as good as a mile. D. Many hands make light work. 【答案】22. B 23. D 24. D 25. A 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了冬天豪猪寻找温暖住处的经历：它先尝试了倒下的树干（被白蚁拒绝）、灌木丛下（被猞猁赶走），后被蛇邀请同住，因豪猪的刺让蛇不适，最终豪猪挖了额外空间，二者愉快共处并建立友谊的故事。 【22题详解】 细节理解题。根据“fallen tree trunk”和“space under a thick bush”可知，豪猪在被蛇邀请前，先后尝试了两次。故选B。 【23题详解】 推理判断题。根据“felt sorry for him”“found it impossible to get into a comfortable position”及“glad I let you in”可知，蛇最初是同情，同住后因豪猪的刺而不舒服，最后因为共同分享洞穴而感到高兴，情感变化是“sorry→uncomfortable→happy”。故选D。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据“With his paws, the porcupine began scratching at the hole’s walls”可知，豪猪挖出了额外空间，解决了拥挤问题，这是对蛇善意的回报。故选D。 【25题详解】 主旨大意题故事中蛇给予豪猪帮助，豪猪回报善意，二者都从中受益，对应谚语When we give, we receive.“付出即收获”。故选A。 第四部分 信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever been in trouble and wanted to get away?

We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, finishing tasks on our to-do lists. Living a busy life makes us feel like we never have enough time. We think in a way that focuses on speed, and we value doing more rather than doing things well. For a long time, we think speed means being productive and successful, so we keep hurrying around to do all things. However, from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Movement, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Movement to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量). Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living tells us to live each moment with full attention and give everything the time it requires, instead of trying to do as many things as we can every minute. Today, lots of people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement because social media spreads the many good points of living slowly. 54. Why do we choose fast living? ______________________________________________________________________ 55. According to the Slow Movement, what is the answer to our predicament? ______________________________________________________________________ 56. Which lifestyle do you prefer, fast living or slow living? Why? ______________________________________________________________________ 【答案】54. Because we think we have no control of time. 55. To learn how to live slower. 56. I prefer slow living because it helps me enjoy moments of rest and focus on life better. 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。探讨了人们选择快节奏生活的原因及快节奏生活带来的困境，介绍了慢运动的兴起、理念以及慢生活这一生活方式的目标，并提到如今更多人因社交媒体分享慢生活的益处而被吸引。 【54题详解】 根据第一段“We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time.”可知，选择快节奏生活的原因是我们觉得自己控制不了时间。故填Because we think we have no control of time. 【55题详解】 根据第三段“The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster，but to learn how to live slower.”可知，慢生活运动给出的解决方法是学会过更慢的生活。故填To learn how to live slower. 【56题详解】 本题为开放性试题，答案不唯一，结合自身情况，合理作答即可。故填I prefer slow living because it helps me enjoy moments of rest and focus on life better. 第八部分 书面表达(共1题;满分25分) 57. 初中阶段的学习与生活宛如一幅徐徐展开的多彩画卷，其间既有成功时绽放的璀璨荣光，亦有失败中沉淀的深刻砥砺。例如，一次演讲比赛的成功，或是一场足球比赛的失利，这些经历相互交织，共同勾勒出我们独特的成长轨迹。你校英文报刊现正举办主题为“成长路上的我”的征文活动，现从以下两个征稿要求中任选其一，写一篇文章投稿。 Through Success, I Grow √一次促进你成长进步的成功经历； √你的体会或收获。 Through Failure, I Grow √一次令你奋发向上的失败经历； √你的体会或收获。 注意： 1．词数100左右，须包含所给提示信息，可适当发挥； 2．请先填写你所选的标题，再写文章； 3．照抄阅读语篇不得分； 4．请勿在文中使用真实姓名、校名和地名。 Through ______, I Grow Throughout our life, we may experience successes or failures that help us grow up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 例文 Through Failure, I Grow Throughout our life, we may experience successes or failures that help us grow up.

These days, women go to space. They sail around the world. They have all kinds of adventures (冒险). This wasn’t true hundreds of years ago. Back then, women were expected to stay home. But that didn’t stop these three women from taking off and doing big things. Jeanne Baret(1740—1807): Baret was a French scientist. She studied plants. And she was the first woman to sail around the world. In 1766, Baret wanted to set sail with a group of scientists. But they were all men. Women weren’t allowed to travel on French navy ships. So Baret pretended (假装) to be a man. And she sailed away. Lady Hester Stanhope(1776—1839): Stanhope was from England. She wanted to travel. She traveled throughout the Middle East by herself. And she led an archeological (考古的) dig there. She was the first woman to do this. Nellie Bly(1864—1922): Bly was a reporter. In 1887, she wrote a story about hidden problems at a hospital. She dressed up like a patient at the hospital. Then she wrote an alarming six-part report. The story made Bly well-known. It also led the way for other women reporters. Two years later, Bly set a world record. She traveled around the world in seventy-two days! 11. The passage is probably from the ______ section of a magazine. A. People B. Science C. Health D. News 12. According to the passage, ______ had to dress up like a man in order to sail away. A. Red Bank B. Nellie Bly C. Lady Hester Stanhope D. Jeanne Baret 13. If you are retelling this passage, it is the most important to tell others that ______. A. women today have all kinds of adventures B women could do great things even centuries ago C. Jeanne Baret was the first woman to sail around the world D. the fact that Nellie Bly traveled around the world in seventy-two days made her famous B Pingshu, a traditional Chinese storytelling art, has a history dating back to the Qing Dynasty. Performers usually tell stories in teahouses or small theaters, attracting listeners with their voices and gestures. To learn Pingshu well, artists need years of training. Most of them learn by studying under experienced performers. As one famous artist, Yuan Kuocheng, said, Pingshu is “both mental and physical work.” Performers must memorize long stories and add their own words to make the old stories more attractive. They also need to understand the deeper meanings of the stories and share their thoughts with the listeners. During performances, artists stand behind a table. They use tools like a folding fan and a wooden block called Xingmu. The fan helps act out scenes, such as “drawing a sword(剑).” The Xingmu is knocked on the table to mark the start of the story or to highlight exciting moments. Modern technology has brought both challenges and chances to Pingshu. Since young people today prefer online entertainment technology allows artists to record their performances. These recordings can be shared widely, helping more people discover Pingshu. Digital methods also protect this art for future people. More often than not, those who listen to Pingshu stories belong to older generations (辈). While most young people spend hours online, a small number still find value in Pingshu, drawn by its cultural richness and storytelling traditions. In summary, Pingshu is not just entertainment—it carries Chinese culture and wisdom. Through stories, performers connect the past with the present, offering listeners both fun and life lessons. 14. What can we infer from the second paragraph? A. Pingshu artists can master the skill within a few months. B. Memorizing stories is less important than physical gestures. C. Learning Pingshu requires both time and guidance from experts. D. Performers need to create completely new stories to attract today’s listeners. 15. What tool is NOT needed during a Pingshu performance? A. A folding fan to act out scenes. B. A wooden block to mark key moments. C. A table to stand behind while performing. D. A microphone to make their voices louder. 16. Which group will most likely attend Pingshu performances? A. Teenagers who prefer online short videos. B. Older people and some young adults who value traditional culture. C. Foreign tourists visiting modern theaters. D. Children learning to play musical instruments. 17. What is modern technology’s influence on Pingshu? A. It allows artists to perform without live listeners. B. It reduces the need for performers to memorize stories. C. It spreads Pingshu to more people and protects its future. D. It forces performers to use digital tools during shows. C One of the best parts of autumn is its beautiful colors. Normally green leaves turn into orange, yellow, red and finally brown. This is called “leaf phenology”, and many people look forward to it every year. However, because of climate change, autumn is changing. According to a study that came out earlier this year, the season length is growing. It is taking longer for leaves to change their colors. And this is not the only way that climate change is ruining the season. “Trees are holding onto their leaves longer,” explained Dr. Diamond, a senior climate scientist. “In my own neighborhood, I can remember that the leaves would drop a lot sooner 20 years ago than they do now. This is a personal experience, but research actually supports what we’re seeing.” Climate change isn’t just causing the leaves to change later. We can also expect later frosts (霜) according to Dr. Mann, a professor of the University of Pennsylvania. Mann said, “That means pests stay active for a longer time in autumn, leading to a greater health risk to human beings.” If there is any good news at all, though, we may be able to slow down this development. Mann pointed out that if humans limited the carbon emissions (限制碳排放), they could still stop the worst effects (影响) of climate change from hitting them during the autumn months. “A new study recently suggests that surface warming will possibly stop after carbon emissions reach zero,” Mann noted in Live Science recently. Autumn is such a wonderful season—whether it’s the golden leaves covering the grasslands in North China or the ginkgo trees (银杏树) dropping their yellow leaves in our schoolyard, it’s a gift we should keep. The beautiful autumn we protect today may be the sweet memory we will hold tomorrow. 18. Which is the effect of climate change on autumn? A. The season length is becoming shorter. B. Leaves are changing their colors and falling later. C. There are more frosts in autumn. D. Pests are no longer active. 19. What does the word “ruin” most likely mean in the passage? A. Cause damage. B. Improve greatly. C. Become more colorful. D. Change completely. 20. What does the underlined phrase “this development” refer to? A. The beautiful autumn scenery in people’s lives. B. Dr. Diamond’s memories of the autumn before. C. The autumn changes because of climate change. D. Dr. Mann’s advice on stopping carbon emissions. 21. What’s the purpose of the passage? A. To call for actions against climate change. B. To describe the beautiful colors of autumn. C. To talk about the effects of autumn changes. D. To explain the research about leaf phenology. D When winter arrived, the porcupine looked for somewhere nice and warm to live. He ran into the woods, looking around for a place. First, he came to a fallen tree trunk. “This looks like a suitable place!” he said digging a hole in its side. But when he poked his head in, he heard “You can’t stay here. It’s our home, and breakfast, lunch and dinner!” said hundreds of tiny termites (白蚁). The porcupine apologized and backed away. “Now, where can I go?” he wondered. Then he found a space under a thick bush that seemed to be protected from the wind, so he tried crawling in there. “Hey!” hissed the lynx (猞猁), showing her sharp paws. “This is my place, and don’t you forget it!” The porcupine went away in a hurry—he didn’t want any trouble. The poor porcupine was really getting worried, “I might freeze if I don’t find somewhere to stay soon!” he said, his teeth chattering. A snake overheard the porcupine and felt sorry for him. She poked her head out of her hole and said, “Would you like to stay in here with me? My home is quite small, but I’m sure we can both fit!” The porcupine was ever so thankful. He pushed his way into the snake’s narrow home. “This is so nice!” he said. “How kind of you to let me in!” However, when the snake tried to get to sleep, she found it impossible to get into a comfortable position. Twist and turn as she might, she was always getting hurt by the porcupine’s spines. “Can you move over a bit?” she asked. The porcupine tried, but it didn’t help! They both spent an uneasy night in the little burrow and hardly slept at all! “I really wanted to help the poor porcupine,” the snake thought, “but I wish I’d never invited him in.” The porcupine was feeling just as upset. When morning came, he cleared his throat and said, “I’m sorry that things are so uncomfortable, especially as you have been so kind. I think I have an idea, if you agree!” The snake was still painful and tired from her sleepless night, so she just nodded. With his paws, the porcupine began scratching (刨) at the hole’s walls. As the snake watched in wonder, the porcupine dug out an extra room that was just the right size for him. “There you are!” he said in a satisfied voice. “Now there is plenty of room for both of us!” The snake and the porcupine shared that burrow all winter. It was warmer with the two of them in it, and there was enough space for both animals to sleep comfortably. The snake enjoyed the stories the porcupine told, and the porcupine was impressed by the snake’s skills at finding food. Their unlikely friendship made winter less lonely for both of them. “I’m glad I let you in!” the snake hissed, “It’s really nice to share my home!” 22. How many times had the porcupine tried before being invited by the snake? A. Once. B. Twice. C. Three times. D. Four times. 23. How did the snake’s feelings change? A. scared→helpless→curious B. interested→nervous→calm C. worried→thankful→pleased D. sorry→uncomfortable→happy 24. Which sentence in the story shows the porcupine’s return for the snake’s kindness? A. He pushed his way into the snake’s narrow home. B. He ran into the woods, looking around for a place. C. The porcupine went away in a hurry—he didn’t want any trouble. D. With his paws, the porcupine began scratching at the hole’s walls. 25. Which saying best expresses the theme of this story? A. When we give, we receive. B. Home is where the heart is. C. A miss is as good as a mile. D. Many hands make light work. 第四部分 信息还原(共5小题;每小题1分，满分5分) 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever been in trouble and wanted to get away?

We choose fast living because we think we have no control of time. We try to do as much as we can each day, finishing tasks on our to-do lists. Living a busy life makes us feel like we never have enough time. We think in a way that focuses on speed, and we value doing more rather than doing things well. For a long time, we think speed means being productive and successful, so we keep hurrying around to do all things. However, from time to time, we find ourselves in a predicament (困境) that no matter how fast we go, we never seem to be quick enough to catch up with our endless tasks and goals. The Slow Movement thinks that the answer to our predicament is not to live faster, but to learn how to live slower. The movement began with the Slow Food Movement, which was set up in 1986. It believed that we should fight against fast-food restaurants, protect traditional cooking, and encourage people to enjoy preparing and eating food. The belief finally spread from the Slow Food Movement to other parts of life. In 1999, it helped create Cittaslow—a group focused on slowing down life in cities. This belief about slowing down quickly began to influence areas like work, travel, fashion, and living in general. The main idea of the Slow Movement is to value quality over quantity (数量). Slow living is a lifestyle based on the Slow Movement. Its goal is to free us from endless rush that stops us from enjoying moments of rest. Slow living tells us to live each moment with full attention and give everything the time it requires, instead of trying to do as many things as we can every minute. Today, lots of people are drawn to the idea of the Slow Movement because social media spreads the many good points of living slowly. 54.

Which lifestyle do you prefer, fast living or slow living? Why? ______________________________________________________________________ 第八部分 书面表达(共1题;满分25分) 57. 初中阶段的学习与生活宛如一幅徐徐展开的多彩画卷，其间既有成功时绽放的璀璨荣光，亦有失败中沉淀的深刻砥砺。例如，一次演讲比赛的成功，或是一场足球比赛的失利，这些经历相互交织，共同勾勒出我们独特的成长轨迹。你校英文报刊现正举办主题为“成长路上的我”的征文活动，现从以下两个征稿要求中任选其一，写一篇文章投稿。 Through Success, I Grow √一次促进你成长进步的成功经历； √你的体会或收获。 Through Failure, I Grow √一次令你奋发向上的失败经历； √你的体会或收获。 注意： 1．词数100左右，须包含所给提示信息，可适当发挥； 2．请先填写你所选的标题，再写文章； 3．照抄阅读语篇不得分； 4．请勿在文中使用真实姓名、校名和地名。 Through ______, I Grow Throughout our life, we may experience successes or failures that help us grow up. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
