Academic involution, characterized by excessive competition, harms students in multiple ways. It leads to long-term stress, sleep disorder, and less creativity, as students focus solely on grades rather than genuine learning. Moreover, it fosters anxiety and weakens social bonds, making school life unhealthy. To address this, students should prioritize balanced growth. Setting realistic goals and managing time efficiently can reduce pressure. Schools should emphasize whole-person education, encouraging extracurricular activities and collaboration over competition. Parents and teachers can also support mental well-being, valuing progress over perfection. Together, we can transform competition into motivation for meaningful development. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生以“How to Deal with Academic Involution? ”为题给校刊英文专栏撰稿，分析“内卷”的负面影响并提出解决方法。 【详解】1.词汇积累 过度的：excessive → extreme 导致：lead to → result in 优先考虑：prioritize → give priority to 转变：transform → convert 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：Academic involution, characterized by excessive competition, harms students in multiple ways. 拓展句：Academic involution, which is characterized by excessive competition, harms students in multiple ways. 【点睛】[高分句型1] It leads to long-term stress, sleep disorder, and less creativity, as students focus solely on grades rather than genuine learning.

(运用了现在分词作伴随状语) 67 Maybe I could be someone who was really competent. "I can definitely help with that!Where are the parts?"Following Grandma,I went into the room,where a computer sat surrounded by some scattered parts.Rolling up my sleeves,I carefully connected everything.It was a piece of cake to me."Done!"I announced confidently.After a few adjustments,the internet was up and running. Now it was time to sell the roses.I decided to start from my social media platform. I quickly uploaded photos,added descriptions,and set prices.Before long,notifications started showing up—people were noticing. My abilities made a difference!(96词) Within a few hours,orders for roses flooded in."This is amazing,Jude!"Grandma cheered with joy as she began bustling about,packing flowers.Mr.Jackson chuckled warmly as he handed me another bunch to label.The energy was electric—everyone was on their feet,moving quickly to keep up with the growing orders.The farm felt alive,and so did I.To our surprise,the roses sold out in just half a day."You've brought the farm into the twenty-first century,Jude,"Grandma hugged me tightly.I realized that being competent wasn't about avoiding mistakes. It was about facing them head-on and making the most of my strengths.(100词) 听力材料 Text 1 W: Be quiet, Ethan. Can you turn the TV down? I'm calculating how many people will come to celebrate your birthday. M: OK. Do you need any help? I have learned addition at school this week. W: Ha-ha, thanks. I'm nearly done. Text 2 W: Have you heard about the traffic accident that happened yesterday? M: Yes. It is said that three died on the spot and four died despite rescue efforts. Fifteen were injured, but luckily, they are out of life-threatening danger. W: That's the worst news for today. I hope this won't happen again. Text 3 W: Terry, where are you going? So many chores are waiting for us. M: Can I deal with them after I come back? I have an appointment with my coach. Regular exercise will help to strengthen my muscles. W: OK. I' ll go with you, for I'm gaining weight. Text 4 W: Wow, Christopher, you' re quite a skilled swimmer. How often do you hit the pool? Every day? M: These days, I swim around twice a week. But back in the day, it was five times a week. Text 5 M: How did you get to Berlin, Lucy? Did you take a plane? W: I was planning to. You know, it's not a good idea to drive for such a long journey. But Tom decided to ride a motorcycle and invited me to go with him. It took us three days and two nights. Text 6 M: Are you free tomorrow, Nancy? W: I planned to go to the library, but it won't open tomorrow. So I don't have any plans. M: There will be an exhibition of photographs at the gallery. Would you like to go with me? W: I'd love to. But when? M: How about tomorrow morning? It may be cooler and less crowded. W: I'm afraid I cannot get up early. How about tomorrow afternoon, Bill? Believe me, there won't be too many people. M: So, shall we meet at 2 o’ clock? W: Great. I' ll meet you at your home first. Text 7 W: Hello, Steve. I know you're from China. Which city are you from? From Beijing? M: No, I'm from Chengdu in the southwest. W: Wonderful! I' ve been there a few times. And what do you do now, Steve? M: Well, I'm a musician. I'm playing in a local band in Chongqing, which is a big city like Chengdu. W: Music! That's amazing. What do you do when you' re not working? M: Well, I don't have a lot of free time because I have to practice a lot and I have a part-time job of serving customers in a tea house. But I like to take photos of the wonderful scenery and meet my friends. What about you, Daisy? W: Now I'm learning to play a traditional Chinese instrument—— pipa. Perhaps in the future I will launch a pipa class for British children. M: That must be very cool. Text 8 W: It was very kind of you to show me around the place. It gave me a good idea of your product range. M: It's a pleasure to show our company to you. May I ask your general impression? W: It's very impressive, indeed, especially how fast this model can perform. M: It is our latest model, a high-performance product. We put it on the market just three months ago. W: The machine gives you an advantage over your competitors, I guess. M: Certainly. No one can match us in terms of how good a product can be. W: Could you give me some brochures for that product? And the price if possible. M: Of course. Here is our sales list and instructions. W: Thank you. I think we can work together in the future. Text 9 M: Sandy, do you hear that? Our city will begin using electronic pets to help keep track of the physical condition of elderly people. People who live alone can buy these toy animals that have a built-in computer. W: How can they help the seniors? M: Health Centers are connected with the home of the“pet” owner. A microphone and a speaker attached to the pet can pass conversations between its owner and doctors. The pet can also summarize the owner's physical condition and send the data to the centre. It is a pity that the pets are unable to talk. W: But what if the person is seriously ill? M: If no response is received, a vehicle with special equipment will be sent from hospital at once. Technology has made great changes in our lives, Sandy. In future, almost everything will be controlled by computers. W: But I wouldn't get too excited about that. Do you remember the“Terminator” movies? At first computers were invented to serve humans, but the computers ended up taking over the world! Text 10 Good morning, all educators. Welcome to the International Education Conference.

Do I paint my room pink or use wall paper instead? Is it better to take up volleyball or swimming? (我该选择一块士力架还是吃一块芝士蛋糕呢？是把房间刷成粉色还是用壁纸来装饰呢？是选择打排球还是游泳呢？)”通过三个日常选择的例子，如选择士力架还是芝士蛋糕、粉刷房间还是贴墙纸、打排球还是游泳，引出了人们在日常生活中经常需要做选择的情境。F选项“People make choices every day, which causes tension and feeling of uncertainty.(人们每天都在做选择，这会导致紧张和不确定感。)”直接承接上文，进一步阐述了人们每天面临选择时可能产生的心理状态，即紧张和不确定感，与后文提到的“When you’re able to reach decisions, accept and learn from your choices. This can give you a sense of calmness.(当你能够做出决定、接受并从选择中学习时，这会给你一种平静的感觉)”形成对比，强调了做出决定的重要性。故选F。 37．上文提到“Some decisions, like what to order when you go out to eat, aren’t very serious, but others can have consequences for your health, schoolwork or relationships.(有些决定，比如出去吃饭点什么，并不是很严重，但有些决定可能会对你的健康、学业或人际关系产生影响。)”说明了决策的轻重之分。C选项“It is not necessary to take unimportant decisions too seriously.(没有必要把不重要的决定看得太认真。)”与上文中的“aren’t very serious”相呼应，进一步强调了对于不重要的决定不必过于认真，与后文提到的“On the contrary, making random decisions on crucial matters can make you bury your head in the sand. (相反，在重要的事情上随意做决定可能会让你逃避现实)”形成对比，突出了正确对待不同重要性的决策的重要性。故选C。 38．下文提到“You could start by listing the different options, then weighing up the positives and negatives of each one.(你可以先列出不同的选择，然后权衡每个选择的利弊。)”这是一种处理困难决策的方法。E选项“For difficult decisions, it can be helpful to break down your thinking.(对于困难的决定，分解你的思考可能是有帮助的。)”直接引出了下文要讨论的内容，即如何处理困难的决策，通过分解思考来帮助做出决定。故选E。 39．上文Anita Holland提到“Try to catch your first thought before your mind gets confused.(在你的头脑变得混乱之前，试着抓住你的第一个想法。)”这是关于听从自己内心感受的建议。A选项“Other people’s feelings can be considered, too.(也可以考虑别人的感受。)”在听从自己内心感受的基础上，进一步提出了考虑他人感受的建议，使决策过程更加全面和周到。同时，下文也提到了“However, you should be careful about choices that are made only to please somebody else.(然而，你应该小心那些只是为了取悦别人而做出的选择。)”强调了在做决策时不能仅仅为了取悦他人而忽略了自己的真实感受，与设空处构成转折关系，符合题意。故选A。 40．上文提到“Many people worry about making the “wrong” decision, especially if they feel disappointed by how things turn out.(许多人担心做出“错误”的决定，尤其是当他们对事情的结果感到失望时。)”说明了人们在做决策时可能会产生的担忧。G选项“Indeed, there is not always a reasonable choice but different paths lead to distinct experiences.(事实上，并不总是有一个合理的选择，不同的道路会导致不同的经历。)”进一步阐述了决策的复杂性和多样性，不同的选择会带来不同的经历和结果，由此引发许多人的担忧。故选G。 【答案】 41．C 42．D 43．D 44．A 45．B 46．D 47．B 48．C 49．D 50．C 51．A 52．A 53．B 54．B 55．C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者44岁时决定学习游泳，在教练和同学们的帮助下克服恐惧，学会游泳并获得成长的经历，最后作者给犹豫尝试新事物的成年人提出建议。 41．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：我戴着儿子的旧泳镜，穿着更适合闲逛的泳衣，出现在第一堂课上，感觉很尴尬。A. proud骄傲的；B. inspired受鼓舞的；C. awkward尴尬的；D. bored无聊的。根据后文“in my son’s old goggles (泳镜) and a bathing suit more suitable for hanging around”可知，作者戴着儿子的旧泳镜，穿着不适合游泳的泳衣，所以感到尴尬。故选C项。 42．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：原来教练和同学们都很支持我。A. relaxed放松的；B. demanding要求高的；C. cheerful高兴的；D. supportive支持的。根据后文“They told me by breaking the process down into 3 steps”可知，教练和同学们帮助作者学习，所以是支持作者的。故选D项。 43．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：他们告诉我，把这个过程分解成容易处理的步骤：先漂浮，然后滑行，然后踢腿。A. familiar熟悉的；B. changeable可改变的；C. necessary必要的；D. manageable易处理的，易控制的。根据后文“first floating, then gliding, then kicking”可知，学习游泳的过程被分解成容易处理的步骤。故选D项。 44．考查动词词义辨析。句意：在第一节课结束时，我不仅学会了基本知识，还发现了其他东西：水的美丽。A. discovered发现；B. investigated调查；C. selected选择；D. anticipated预期。根据后文“the beauty of the water”可知，作者发现了水的美丽。故选A项。 45．考查动词词义辨析。句意：这是我第一次游完游泳池的长度。A. record记录；B. cover覆盖，游过；C. measure测量；D. forget忘记。根据后文“the length of the pool”可知，此处指游完游泳池的长度。故选B项。 46．考查名词词义辨析。句意：在这个过程中，成就感难以言表。A. belonging归属感；B. responsibility责任；C. urgency紧迫性；D. accomplishment成就感。根据前文“It was the first time for me to 5 the length of the pool.”可知，作者第一次游完游泳池的长度，所以有成就感。故选D项。 47．考查动词词义辨析。句意：随着教练和同学们的每一次欢呼，我意识到我不仅仅是在学习游泳——我是在向自己证明，我可以面对一生的恐惧，并变得更强大。A. insisted坚持；B. realized意识到；C. imagined想象；D. signaled示意。根据后文“I wasn’t just learning to swim — I was proving to myself that I could face a lifelong fear and come out 8 .”可知，作者意识到自己不仅仅是在学习游泳，还在克服恐惧，变得更强大。故选B项。 48．考查形容词词义辨析。句意：随着教练和同学们的每一次欢呼，我意识到我不仅仅是在学习游泳——我是在向自己证明，我可以面对一生的恐惧，并变得更强大。A. quieter更安静的；B. healthier更健康的；C. stronger更强大的；D. younger更年轻的。根据前文“I was proving to myself that I could face a lifelong fear”可知，作者克服了恐惧，所以变得更强大。故选C项。 49．考查动词词义辨析。句意：课程结束许久后，那种感觉仍紧紧抓住我的心。A. protected保护；B. stopped停止；C. disturbed打扰；D. seized抓住。根据后文“replaying it in my head”可知，那种感觉没有消失，依然抓住作者的心。故选D项。 50．考查副词词义辨析。句意：我发现自己不断地在脑海中回放：清凉的水包裹着我，我的胳膊和腿以一种我从未想过自己能掌握的节奏移动，当我终于触摸到对面的墙壁时，我感到的宽慰。A. randomly随机地；B. eventually最终；C. constantly不断地；D. temporarily暂时地。根据后文“replaying it in my head”可知，作者不断地在脑海中回放学习游泳的过程。故选C项。 51．考查名词词义辨析。句意：我发现自己不断地在脑海中回放：清凉的水包裹着我，我的胳膊和腿以一种我从未想过自己能掌握的节奏移动，当我终于触摸到对面的墙壁时，我感到的宽慰。A. relief宽慰；B.boredom无聊；C. tiredness疲劳；D. curiosity好奇心。根据前文“I was proving to myself that I could face a lifelong fear”和“when I finally touched the opposite wall”可推知，作者原本怕水，所以在水中触摸到对面的墙壁会感到宽慰。故选A项。 52．考查动词词义辨析。句意：多年来，我一直避开游泳池——甚至去海滩旅行——因为不知道如何游泳的恐惧让我感到渺小，就像我错过了一些每个人都认为理所当然的东西。A. avoided避免；B. designed设计；C. stressed强调；D. explored探索。根据后文“because the fear of not knowing how to swim made me feel small”可知，作者因为不会游泳，所以避开游泳池。故选A项。 53．考查动词短语辨析。句意：多年来，我一直避开游泳池——甚至去海滩旅行——因为不知道如何游泳的恐惧让我感到渺小，就像我错过了一些每个人都认为理所当然的东西。A. going through经历；B. missing out on错过；C. setting down放下；D. making up for弥补。根据前文“I’d 12 pools — even beach trips — because the fear of not knowing how to swim made me feel small”和后文“something everyone else took for granted”可知，作者因为不会游泳，会避开游泳池，所以错过了别人认为理所当然的东西。故选B项。 54．考查动词词义辨析。句意：但那天，我的生活发生了改变。A. scheduled安排；B. transformed改变；C. exposed暴露；D. mirrored反映。根据前文“By the end of my first class, I had not only learned the basics but also 4 something else: the beauty of the water.”和“I 7 that I wasn’t just learning to swim — I was proving to myself that I could face a lifelong fear and come out 8 .”可知，作者克服了恐惧，学会了游泳，所以生活发生了改变。故选B项。 55．考查名词词义辨析。句意：从浅水区开始，一步一步来——你可能会给自己一个惊喜。A. goal目标；B. choice选择；C. surprise惊喜；D. promise承诺。根据前文“They told me by breaking the process down into 3 steps: first floating, then gliding, then kicking.

B I recently turned seventy.Seventy is a nice number for a chapter in a book,a score in a game,or a temperature in the summer,but it wasn't a number I was ready to face in my life.I was stuck with this number and everything it means. A few days after my birthday,a close friend remarked,"Seventy is the new sixty." This statement was meant to be encouraging,but it left me considering the changing meanings of age.Am I truly over the hill,or has society simply shifted the standard for aging?The physical challenges are undeniable.I can no longer run the marathons I once did,and my daily walks are now interrupted by pauses and rest. Dr.Smith,a renowned gerontologist(老年病学家)，often says,“You are not getting older,you are getting more mature."While this may be true,it doesn't change the fact that my body is aging,and the aches and pains are more frequent.I appreciate his viewpoint, but I know it's time to face the realities of aging head-on. As I step into my seventh decade,I tend to reflect on what it means to age.I see aging as a mixture of resilience and acceptance,a process that requires both fighting against the inevitable and embracing the changes that come.Aging is a natural part of life,and while I may no longer be the athlete I once was,I find new ways to stay active and engaged. Seventy is a number that once seemed distant,but now it is my present reality.I am reminded of the words of the philosopher:"Old is always fifteen years from now."This perspective helps me to stay positive,even as I acknowledge the physical limitations that come with age.The best may indeed be yet to come and I am determined to find the beauty in every new chapter. 24.What does the author imply at the beginning? A.Time flies quickly. B.Only time will tell. C.Time heals all wounds. D.Aging is a tough reality. 25.What does the underline phrase "over the hill"in Paragraph 2 mean? A.Passing one's peak. B.Enjoying retirement life. C.Reaching the top position. D.Facing physical challenges. 26.What can we learn from the author's reflection on aging? A.Aging is contradictory but natural process. B.Aging is a clear decline in mental abilities. C.There is no need to fight against our aging. D.The author will give up new activities. 27.How does the author feel about the future life? A.Peaceful. B.Promising. C.Upset. D.Regretful. C When a plant is stressed,it doesn't keep quiet about it.You won't hear the plant's cry because it's in the ultrasonic(超声的)range-一too high-pitched for human ears-but,for decades,scientists have been using special devices to listen in. For the first time,a team of researchers in Israel has documented that insects can hear and interpret plants'distress sounds.The research team recorded sounds from 高三英语第4页，共10页 tomato and tobacco plants that were dehydrated().The noise created was a result of changes in the plant's water balance.During periods when the plants lack water,air bubbles form,expand and collapse in xylem tissuest(木质部组织)，which are responsible for distributing water from the roots,creating shaking and click-like sounds. In the study published in eLife,scientists tested Egyptian cotton leafworm moths().The researchers conducted a series of experiments where they observed Egyptian cotton leafworm moths detecting ultrasonic signals emitted by drought-stressed tomato plants.These subtle sounds help female moths choose where to lay their eggs. In one experiment,when there were no plants present,the female moths preferred the side where the sounds of stressed plants were played,indicating that the moths may have associated the sound with the presence of vegetation.However,when healthy plants were placed on two sides,where only one played the sound of distressed plant clicks,the moths chose to lay their eggs on the silent side.As part of the research,when the moths'sense of hearing was removed,they no longer showed a preference for where to lay their eggs.This suggests that sound plays a key role when it comes to moths choosing the best environment for their eggs. The new discovery sheds light on the possibility of this invisible ecosystem. Professor Yossi Yovel called this "the first proof of animals responding to plant sounds" Another expert Rya Seltzer added."This is just the tip of the iceberg.Countless organisms hear these frequencies,and more plant sounds await discovery."These "secret lives"of plants and moths aren't just fascinating-they may also have real-world uses as scientists learn more.As scientists continue to tune in,much may still be waiting to be discovered,just beyond our perception. 28.What is the main finding of the Israeli research? A.Insects react to sounds from stressed plants. B.Moths lay their eggs based on plant sounds C.Dehydrated plants have more xylem tissues. D.Plants produce sounds human beings can't hear. 29.Why did moths choose the silent side to lay their eggs? A.The moths preferred silence to noise. B.There were a larger number of healthy plants. C.The moths adjusted to the quiet environment. D.The silent side meant better survival chances. 30.What can be inferred about the significance of the new discovery? A.It confirms many stressed plants produce ultrasonic signals. B.It challenges the traditional view of plant-insect interactions. C.It proves plant sounds are the key factor in ecosystem balance. D.It explains why moths are more sensitive to sounds than other insects. 31.Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.The "Secret Sounds"Between Plants and Insects B.How Moths Choose Places to Lay Their Eggs C.Why Drought Makes Tomato Plants "Click" D.Forests:The Quietest Ecosystem on Earth 高三英语第5页，共10页 D Everyone relies on bias-otherwise known as cognitive (shortcuts-in their daily lives.For example,imagine you're scrolling through your social media feed and immediately dismiss a news article because it comes from a source you don't typically trust.This scenario highlights how automatic and unconscious the mental process can be. These biases aren't character flaws.Thousands of years ago,this type of quick decision-making ensured the safety of ancient humans.Although these mental shortcuts served us well long ago,they don't always translate well to our complex modern world For several decades,psychology researchers have been testing interventions to help people become aware of and minimize their biases. A new systematic review published in Nature Human Behaviour offers the most comprehensive analysis of bias training to date.Researchers combined results from 54 randomized controlled trials involving nearly 11,000 students to determine whether educational interventions can reduce cognitive biases.The studies used a wide range of approaches,including games,online simulations,classroom instruction,video-based training,and group discussions.The analysis found that these interventions led to a small but significant reduction in biased thinking. The most successful interventions from the studies focused on teaching specific cognitive strategies to neutralize (particular biases.These strategies include actively seeking out contradictory evidence when evaluating a claim and using structured checklists to avoid jumping to conclusions. Interestingly,the research revealed that some biases are harder to avoid than others. For example,people are more likely to stick to stereotypes(),such as assuming someone who wears glasses and reads a lot is a librarian.It remains unclear whether these lessons transfer beyond the classroom;just because someone can avoid confirmation bias in an online test doesn't mean they will use those skills in the real world.Researchers said this gap between laboratory performance and real-world application represents the next frontier in bias research. This field is important because cognitive biases can have far-reaching consequences in modern society,influencing medical diagnoses,public policy decisions, elections,and more.The take-home message:This review provides solid evidence that bias reduction is possible. 32.How did bias help ancient humans? A.Strengthen mental process. B.Make quick and safe decisions. C.Improve unconscious learning. D.Enhance social communication. 33.Which method is most effective for lessening specific biases? A.Having group discussions. B.Watching an instructional video C.Thinking critically about an event. D.Conducting video-based experiments. 34.What remains a major challenge in bias research according to the text? A.The lack of research funding. B.The absence of effective tools C.The gap between lab and reality. D.The unwillingness of participants. 高三英语第6页，共10页 35.What is the best title for the text? A.Scientists Find New Ways to Train Our Brains B.Bias Training Proves Ineffective in New Study C.Stereotypes Remain the Biggest Challenge for Society D.Evidence Grows that Cognitive Bias Can Be Reduced 第二节（共10小题：每小题1.5分，满分15分） 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。 Should I go for a bar of snickers (or a piece of cheese cake?Do I paint my room pink or use wallpaper instead?Is it better to take up volleyball or swimming? 36 When you're able to reach decisions,accept and learn from your choices.This can give you a sense of calmness. Treat decisions differently Some decisions,like what to order when you go out to eat,aren't very serious,but others can have consequences for your health,schoolwork or relationships.37 On the contrary,making random decisions on crucial matters can make you bury your head in the sand.Try to stop taking everything so seriously and witness the difference that makes in your life. Make tough decisions 38 You could start by listing the different options,then weighing up the positives and negatives of each one.Anita Holland,an expert,says following your true feelings and listening to your heart can also work."Try to catch your first thought before your mind gets confused,"she says.39 However,you should be careful about choices that are made only to please somebody else. What if I regret my choice? Many people worry about making the "wrong"decision,especially if they feel disappointed by how things turn out.40 If the one you choose leads to a disappointing experience,try reflecting on it and think about whether you would make a different decision in the future. A.Other people's feelings can be considered,too. B.You must think twice before you decide to make it. C.It is not necessary to take unimportant decisions too seriously. D.It is easy to make a wrong decision,especially under pressure E.For difficult decisions,it can be helpful to break down your thinking. F.People make choices every day,which causes tension and feelings of uncertainty. G.Indeed,there is not always a reasonable choice but different paths lead to distinct experiences. 第三部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题：每小题1分，满分15分） At 44,I never thought I'd dive headfirst-literally-into learning to swim.Yet, here I was.I showed up for my first lesson,feeling 41 in my son's old goggles (and a bathing suit more suitable for hanging around.It turned out that the coach and my classmates were 42.They told me by breaking the process down into 43 steps:first floating,then gliding,then kicking.By the end of my first class,I had 高三英语第7页，共10页 not only learned the basics but also 44 something else:the beauty of the water.

The car engine wasn't off before Grandma hugged me.I slowly dragged myself out of the car."Jude,you look unhappy.Why?"Grandma asked.She acted like nothing bad had happened last time.Could I ask how much money her neighbor Mr.Jackson had lost because of my mistake?Was he still upset with me?"I'm fine,"I answered."I'm just missing my computer camp.Computers are something I'm good at.""That sounds disappointing."Grandma nodded. I liked visiting the farm during breaks before I messed things up last summer. Grandma lived alone,and Mr.Jackson was like family to her.Then one day I forgot to lock the gate and let the goats into his flower beds.He lost almost all his roses for the 高三英语第9页，共10页 farmers'market. Now,back at the farm,I felt nervous.I was trying to hide in the room when I saw Mr.Jackson!He was opening the door and calling Grandma."I need help!"he yelled to her."Just a second for the freshly harvested roses!"That was when he saw me.I felt my heart tighten and was ready for his criticism.I deserved it.He had probably been waiting for this moment since last summer. However,Mr.Jackson greeted me happily,"Great,Jude is here!Your grandma always tells us you are a wonderfully competent(有能力的)computer programmer.”I shook my head.I am not competent.I am sorry I messed things up."He was suprised and comforted me,"It was an accident.Being competent doesn't mean you never make mistakes.” I looked out of the window.There were piles of roses waiting to be sold."Jude,can you help us?We want to sell roses online.We have a computer and all the parts() for our internet connection,but we just can't set it up,"Grandma asked.No internet. They seemed to live in the twentieth century. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 67.Maybe I could be someone who was really competent.
