In 100 words or less, tell us about your family traditions — in the style of a poem!(你是青少年诗人吗？这里有一个比赛适合你！用诗歌的形式，在100词以内，向我们讲述你的家庭传统！)”可知，这则通知的主要目的是邀请青少年诗人参加比赛。故选D。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分中“Teen Ink will only consider entries by teens.(《青少年文墨》只接受青少年的参赛作品)”可知，比赛对参赛者的年龄有限制。故选A。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Guidelines部分中“Submissions should relate to the topic (Your Family Traditions).(参赛作品需与主题(你的家庭传统)相关)”可知，参赛作品的要求是必须围绕家庭传统展开。故选A。 B “How many times have you heard, or maybe you’ve said to yourself, ‘I hate small talk’?” asks Kyle Kellams, a Fayetteville, Arkansas, news director and radio host. But, he believes that it can serve as the gateway to real understanding. One “small talk” question that he frequently asks guests in the KUAF studio is: “What’s the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater?” Part of the reason he poses this particular question is technical — he’s testing the sound level of people’s voices on the microphone — but that’s not all. He says, “Sometimes that question leads to an interesting conversation.” Here’s an example of what he means. One guest’s answer was Jaws, which surprised him because he guessed she must have been quite young at the time. He recalls, “So I asked her, ‘Who took you as a kid to see Jaws?’ She said, ‘My dad.’ Well, that led us to a brief conversation about sharks, about fear, and about, for her, growing up the kid of divorced (离婚的) parents. Then we went away and had the regular conversation about the topic we were scheduled to, and I think it went slightly better because we had actually made a connection.” By “small talk”, Kellams adds, “I’m not talking about, ‘Hey, isn’t that strange weather?’ followed by a few moments of awkward silence.” You should probably also avoid asking “What do you do?” since that question tends to keep things at a shallow level, too. Instead, you can borrow Kellams movie-theater question or come up with your own. Maybe it’s “What’s the first book you remember reading by yourself?” or “What’s your favorite vegetable?” Think about what could draw out vivid memories or passionate opinions, or what you’d be genuinely interested in finding out. But remember, you’re not there to simply collect their answer and depart. You’re there to receive it like the gift that it is, and respond wholeheartedly. As radio host Celeste Headlee likes to say, “A good conversation is like a game of catch.” Just as you wouldn’t interrupt catching and throwing a ball or Frisbee (飞盘) with a friend to check your phone or look for someone more interesting, commit yourself to following the small talk wherever it may lead. 4. Why does Kellams use small talk in conversations? A. It reveals a personal detail. B. It can raise microphone levels. C. It helps build a genuine connection. D. It involves questions about movies. 5. What can be inferred about the movie Jaws? A. It tells a love story. B. It’s a children’s movie. C. It contains terrifying scenes. D. It’s about animal conservation. 6. What does Kellams think of small talk about the weather? A. It takes up too much time. B. It makes one feel unhappy. C. It fails to test one’s memory. D. It keeps the talk on the surface. 7. What does the author want to highlight in the last paragraph? A. Strategies for a conversation. B. Benefits of a heartfelt conversation. C. Competitive elements in a conversation. D. Wholehearted engagement in a conversation. 【答案】4. C 5. C 6. D 7. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了主持人Kyle Kellams对“闲聊”的见解，分享了有效闲聊的方式及参与闲聊的要点。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“But, he believes that it can serve as the gateway to real understanding. (但他认为，闲聊可以成为通往真正理解的“敲门砖”)”及第三段“I think it went slightly better because we had actually made a connection. (我觉得沟通效果好了一些，因为我们确实建立了联结)”可知，Kellams用闲聊是为了建立真诚的联结。故选C项。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“Well, that led us to a brief conversation about sharks, about fear, and about, for her, growing up the kid of divorced (离婚的) parents. (这让我们聊起了鲨鱼、聊起了恐惧，还聊到了她作为离异家庭孩子的成长经历)”可推知，《大白鲨》包含令人恐惧的场景。故选C项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“By “small talk”, Kellams adds, “I’m not talking about, ‘Hey, isn’t that strange weather?’ followed by a few moments of awkward silence.” You should probably also avoid asking “What do you do?” since that question tends to keep things at a shallow level, too. (提到“闲聊”，Kellams补充道，“我不是说那种‘嘿，这天气挺反常的吧？’说完就是一阵尴尬沉默的对话。”你也该避免问“你是做什么的？”，因为这个问题也会让交流停留在肤浅的层面上)”可知，Kellams认为聊天气的闲聊流于表面的。故选D项。 【7题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“But remember, you’re not there to simply collect their answer and depart. You’re there to receive it like the gift that it is, and respond wholeheartedly. (但要记住，你不是去简单地获取对方的回答就离开。你要像对待礼物一样接纳对方的回应，并全心投入地互动)”及“ Just as you wouldn’t interrupt catching and throwing a ball or Frisbee (飞盘) with a friend to check your phone or look for someone more interesting, commit yourself to following the small talk wherever it may lead.(就像你不会为了看手机或寻找更有趣的人而中断和朋友的接球或扔飞盘一样，你要保证自己跟随谈话的方向)”可知，作者想要强调的是全身心投入到闲聊中。故选D项。 C When did you last sit down for a meal without any distractions(分心)? Many of us multitask during meals, checking social media, watching TV, or even working. According to a study led by Stephen Lee Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University, this habit of distracted eating could lead to overconsumption. The study investigates “hedonic(享乐的) consumption”, where we buy and use products for the pleasure they bring rather than necessity. “On any given day, a person may take great pleasure from one or more of these activities, yet people often consume more hedonic goods than they want or than is good for them,” said Murphy. To understand how distraction affects our enjoyment, researchers conducted an experiment with 122 participants, mostly young adults. Participants were asked to eat their lunch under two different conditions: no distraction, and high distraction. After their meal, they reported their level of enjoyment, satisfaction, and desire for more satisfaction. The results were telling. Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, leading to increased snacking later in the day and a heightened desire for further satisfaction. Murphy called this effect “hedonic compensation”. When we are distracted, we experience less enjoyment from our activities, which drives us to seek more consumption to make up for the shortfall. “Overconsumption often results from a lack of self- control.” Murphy explained. “However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to make up for it by consuming more.” In a world where distractions are unavoidable, learning to be present and fully engaged in our pleasurable activities might be the key to enjoying them more and consuming less. So, next time you sit down for a meal, put away your phone, turn off the TV, and enjoy each bite. Your mind and body will thank you. 8. According to Murphy, what is the problem with “hedonic consumption”? A. It reduces enjoyment. B. It’s a waste of time. C. People do too much of it. D. People know little about it. 9. Which of the following shows the result of the experiment? A. No distraction, no satisfaction. B. High distraction, less satisfaction. C. Less distraction, less satisfaction. D. High distraction, more satisfaction. 10. What does the author recommend to reduce hedonic overconsumption? A. Trying to have more self-control. B. Avoiding eating pleasurable foods. C. Focusing fully on consumption experiences. D. Reducing the amount of food consumed. 11. What is the main topic discussed in the text? A. How overconsumption does harm to health. B. How distracted eating leads to overconsumption. C. How we can increase enjoyment while eating. D. How we can consume less food during the meal. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了一项研究，该研究表明吃饭时分心的习惯会导致过度消费，研究者通过实验证实了分心会降低饮食的愉悦感和满足感，进而促使人们通过更多消费来弥补这种缺失，并给出了专注饮食的建议。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第2段中“On any given day, a person may take great pleasure from one or more of these activities, yet people often consume more hedonic goods than they want or than is good for them(在任何一天，一个人可能会从一项或多项这类活动中获得极大的乐趣，但人们往往消费的享乐型商品超出了自己的需求或对自己有益的程度)”可知，穆菲认为享乐型消费的问题是人们过度进行了这种消费。故选C。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第3段中“Participants were asked to eat their lunch under two different conditions: no distraction, and high distraction. After their meal, they reported their level of enjoyment, satisfaction, and desire for more satisfaction. The results were telling. Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction(参与者被要求在两种不同条件下吃午餐：无干扰和高干扰。餐后，他们报告了自己的愉悦感、满足感以及对更多满足感的渴望程度。结果很明显，分心进食的参与者报告的愉悦感和满足感更低)”可知，实验结果是高干扰会带来更低的满足感。故选B。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第6段中“In a world where distractions are unavoidable, learning to be present and fully engaged in our pleasurable activities might be the key to enjoying them more and consuming less(在一个干扰不可避免的世界里，学会活在当下，全身心投入到能带来愉悦感的活动中，或许是更多享受、更少消费的关键)”可知，作者建议要全身心投入消费体验。故选C。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第1段中“According to a study led by Stephen Lee Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University, this habit of distracted eating could lead to overconsumption(根特大学的斯蒂芬·李·穆菲博士主导的一项研究表明，这种分心进食的习惯可能会导致过度消费)”以及全文围绕分心进食与过度消费的关联展开分析可知，本文的主题是分心进食如何导致过度消费。故选B。 D “Insects have personalities,” says Melinda Babits, a PhD student at the University of Debrecen. In her work with insects, Babits defines “personality” as “consistent individual differences”. Consistencies in individual behavior patterns can be observed in the same insects across time or across different situations. To understand the difference between human personality and insect personality, think about what personality means to you in terms of a dog or cat — you think about their playfulness, energy and level of attachment — in contrast to what it means in your friends — you think about their traits(特质) that stand out when you first meet them, and the ways they communicate. In her research, Babits puts firebugs(红蝽) into an experimental container. A computer program then analyzes the movement patterns of the individuals to see how much the insects have explored the container and interacted with the novel objects. Three days later, the same individuals are put into the container again to see if their behavior remains consistent. Two traits of a firebug’s personality are activity and explorativeness. “These are usually related. With activity, you can see how much time the individual spends exploring its surroundings,” Babits explains, “Explorativeness is more connected to the space — some individuals just like exploring a small section of the container, while others go around trying to explore the nooks and crannies.” Another trait is sociability. To assess it in firebugs, Babits maps the insects’ social networks. If two firebugs are in the same location at the same time and have a physical interaction, then they are considered in the same social network. Like humans, some firebugs are sociable and others prefer to keep to themselves. Diverse personalities could be the key to survival for insect species. “In different situations, different personality types are beneficial for the group or for the species itself. If there are individuals who are more explorative, they can discover new food sources,” says Babits. “Understanding insect personality can give us insight into other aspects of that insect’s behavior such as habitat expansion and social organization.” Next time an ant or fly pays you a visit, just remember: “What you see is indeed a truly unique individual,” says Babits. 12. Why does the author mention “a dog or cat” in paragraph 3? A. To support Babits’ definition of personality. B. To help readers better understand insect personality. C. To show the difference between pets and insects. D. To compare human personality with animal personality. 13. Why does Babits put the same firebugs into the container again after three days? A. To test the firebugs’ memory. B. To confirm the firebugs’ personality. C. To analyze the firebugs’ movement patterns. D. To train the firebugs to form their personality. 14. What does the underlined part “the nooks and crannies” in paragraph 5 imply? A. The firebugs are active in learning new tasks. B. The firebugs tend to form different social groups. C. The firebugs are looking for different food sources. D. The firebugs like exploring every part of the container. 15. What trait, according to the text, can most likely help insects find food? A. Explorativeness. B. Energy. C. Playfulness. D. Sociability. 【答案】12. B 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了德布勒森大学博士生梅林达·巴比茨关于昆虫也有个性的研究，包括她对昆虫个性的定义、研究红蝽个性的实验方法、红蝽的几种个性特质以及昆虫个性对物种生存的意义。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“To understand the difference between human personality and insect personality, think about what personality means to you in terms of a dog or cat(要理解人类个性和昆虫个性之间的区别，不妨从狗或猫的角度思考个性对你来说意味着什么)”可知，作者提及猫狗是为了帮助读者更好地理解昆虫的个性。故选B。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Babits defines ‘personality’ as ‘consistent individual differences’(巴比茨将‘个性’定义为‘稳定的个体差异’)”以及第四段中“Three days later, the same individuals are put into the container again to see if their behavior remains consistent.(三天后，同样的个体会被再次放入容器中，观察它们的行为是否保持稳定)”可知，重复实验的目的是为了验证火蝽的行为是否具有跨时间的一致性，这正是巴比茨研究中定义的“个性”(一致的个体差异)的核心。因此，此举是为了确认它们的个性。故选B。 【14题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第五段中“Explorativeness is more connected to the space — some individuals just like exploring a small section of the container, while others go around trying to explore the nooks and crannies.(探索性与空间的关联更强——有些个体只喜欢探索容器的一小片区域，而另一些则会四处走动，试图探索……)”可知，该句通过“while”进行对比，前半句说有些火蝽只探索一小部分，后半句则描述与之相反的、探索欲更强的行为。“the nooks and crannies”与“a small section”形成对比，且与“go around trying to explore(四处走动试图探索)”搭配，因此它暗示的是容器的各个部分、每个角落。故选D。 【15题详解】 细节理解题。根据第七段中“If there are individuals who are more explorative, they can discover new food sources(如果有些个体的探索性更强，它们就能发现新的食物来源)”可知，探索性这一特质最有可能帮助昆虫找到食物。故选A。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Being a great reader involves more than just reading.

This is what I experienced with Alex. I always thought Alex and I were so different. I was the serious one, the star of the debate team who always came prepared. Alex, on the other hand, was known for his unconcerned manner and his constant sketching (画素描). We shared a biology class but never spoke. To be honest, I thought we had nothing in common, and I was fine with that. So, you can imagine my disappointment when our teacher paired us for a project on butterflies. I preferred to work alone due to the tight deadline for the project presentation. For the first week, we barely spoke. I buried myself in research, while Alex just sat there, drawing in his notebook. One afternoon, I couldn’t help taking a look at his drawings. I found they weren’t just simple sketches; they were detailed, full of emotion, and surprisingly beautiful. “Why do you spend so much time drawing?” I asked. He looked up, surprised that I had spoken to him. “It helps me think,” he replied softly. “Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what I feel.” His words stuck with me. The next day, I saw him sitting alone in the library, looking really upset. “Is everything okay?” I asked. He sighed, “I’m struggling with the written part of the project. I’m just not good with words.” I realized I had judged him without ever trying to know him. “Maybe I can help with the writing,” I offered. “And you could help me see things in a different way — like through your art.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And that’s what we did. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the project presentation finally arrived ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 And that’s what we did. I helped him organize his ideas and arguments into clear, logical sentences and paragraphs. In return, he shared his drawings with me. He sketched the life cycle of butterflies, not as a boring chart, but as a beautiful story of change. His drawings gave me new ways to see scientific facts, and my writing skills gave voice to his ideas. Slowly, the project became not just an assignment, but a bridge between two different worlds. We weren’t just partners; we became a team. The day of the project presentation finally arrived. As we stood before the class, I felt nervous but confident. I began explaining the life cycle of butterflies with precise data while Alex displayed his beautiful drawings on the screen — each told a story of growth, change, and freedom. The whole class was amazed as the butterflies came to life through Alex’s art. As a result, our project won first prize for its “perfect combination”, but what mattered more was the lesson we learned: differences can be strengths when shared. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者与Alex的合作项目为线索展开，讲述了原本性格、特长迥异的作者与Alex，在生物项目合作中从互不了解到发挥各自优势，最终完成优秀项目并收获友谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“这就是我们所做的”可知，第一段可描写作者与Alex分工协作的具体过程，作者帮Alex梳理文字内容，Alex用绘画呈现蝴蝶知识，两人的合作逐渐让项目从任务变成联结彼此的桥梁。 ②由第二段首句内容“项目展示的日子终于到了”可知，第二段可描写两人在展示时的配合，以及项目获得成功、两人的感悟。 2. 续写线索： 分工协作——项目从任务变桥梁——展示时配合呈现——班级反响热烈——项目获奖——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①梳理：organize/ sort out ②呈现：display/ present ③获奖：win a prize/ get an award 情绪类 ①惊讶的：amazed/ surprised/ astonished ②自信的：confident/ self-assured/ sure of oneself 【点睛】【高分句型1】The whole class was amazed as the butterflies came to life through Alex’s art.

B “How many times have you heard, or maybe you’ve said to yourself, ‘I hate small talk’?” asks Kyle Kellams, a Fayetteville, Arkansas, news director and radio host. But, he believes that it can serve as the gateway to real understanding. One “small talk” question that he frequently asks guests in the KUAF studio is: “What’s the first movie you ever saw in a movie theater?” Part of the reason he poses this particular question is technical — he’s testing the sound level of people’s voices on the microphone — but that’s not all. He says, “Sometimes that question leads to an interesting conversation.” Here’s an example of what he means. One guest’s answer was Jaws, which surprised him because he guessed she must have been quite young at the time. He recalls, “So I asked her, ‘Who took you as a kid to see Jaws?’ She said, ‘My dad.’ Well, that led us to a brief conversation about sharks, about fear, and about, for her, growing up the kid of divorced (离婚的) parents. Then we went away and had the regular conversation about the topic we were scheduled to, and I think it went slightly better because we had actually made a connection.” By “small talk”, Kellams adds, “I’m not talking about, ‘Hey, isn’t that strange weather?’ followed by a few moments of awkward silence.” You should probably also avoid asking “What do you do?” since that question tends to keep things at a shallow level, too. Instead, you can borrow Kellams movie-theater question or come up with your own. Maybe it’s “What’s the first book you remember reading by yourself?” or “What’s your favorite vegetable?” Think about what could draw out vivid memories or passionate opinions, or what you’d be genuinely interested in finding out. But remember, you’re not there to simply collect their answer and depart. You’re there to receive it like the gift that it is, and respond wholeheartedly. As radio host Celeste Headlee likes to say, “A good conversation is like a game of catch.” Just as you wouldn’t interrupt catching and throwing a ball or Frisbee (飞盘) with a friend to check your phone or look for someone more interesting, commit yourself to following the small talk wherever it may lead. 4. Why does Kellams use small talk in conversations? A. It reveals a personal detail. B. It can raise microphone levels. C. It helps build a genuine connection. D. It involves questions about movies. 5. What can be inferred about the movie Jaws? A. It tells a love story. B. It’s a children’s movie. C. It contains terrifying scenes. D. It’s about animal conservation. 6. What does Kellams think of small talk about the weather? A. It takes up too much time. B. It makes one feel unhappy. C. It fails to test one’s memory. D. It keeps the talk on the surface. 7. What does the author want to highlight in the last paragraph? A. Strategies for a conversation. B. Benefits of a heartfelt conversation. C. Competitive elements in a conversation. D. Wholehearted engagement in a conversation. C When did you last sit down for a meal without any distractions(分心)? Many of us multitask during meals, checking social media, watching TV, or even working. According to a study led by Stephen Lee Murphy, PhD, of Ghent University, this habit of distracted eating could lead to overconsumption. The study investigates “hedonic(享乐) consumption”, where we buy and use products for the pleasure they bring rather than necessity. “On any given day, a person may take great pleasure from one or more of these activities, yet people often consume more hedonic goods than they want or than is good for them,” said Murphy. To understand how distraction affects our enjoyment, researchers conducted an experiment with 122 participants, mostly young adults. Participants were asked to eat their lunch under two different conditions: no distraction, and high distraction. After their meal, they reported their level of enjoyment, satisfaction, and desire for more satisfaction. The results were telling. Participants who ate while distracted reported lower enjoyment and satisfaction, leading to increased snacking later in the day and a heightened desire for further satisfaction. Murphy called this effect “hedonic compensation”. When we are distracted, we experience less enjoyment from our activities, which drives us to seek more consumption to make up for the shortfall. “Overconsumption often results from a lack of self- control.” Murphy explained. “However, our findings suggest overconsumption may also often be driven by the simple human desire to reach a certain level of enjoyment from an activity. When distraction gets in the way, it’s likely we may try to make up for it by consuming more.” In a world where distractions are unavoidable, learning to be present and fully engaged in our pleasurable activities might be the key to enjoying them more and consuming less. So, next time you sit down for a meal, put away your phone, turn off the TV, and enjoy each bite. Your mind and body will thank you. 8. According to Murphy, what is the problem with “hedonic consumption”? A. It reduces enjoyment. B. It’s a waste of time. C. People do too much of it. D. People know little about it. 9. Which of the following shows the result of the experiment? A. No distraction, no satisfaction. B. High distraction, less satisfaction. C. Less distraction, less satisfaction. D. High distraction, more satisfaction. 10. What does the author recommend to reduce hedonic overconsumption? A. Trying to have more self-control. B. Avoiding eating pleasurable foods. C. Focusing fully on consumption experiences. D. Reducing the amount of food consumed. 11. What is the main topic discussed in the text? A. How overconsumption does harm to health. B. How distracted eating leads to overconsumption. C. How we can increase enjoyment while eating. D. How we can consume less food during the meal. D “Insects have personalities,” says Melinda Babits, a PhD student at the University of Debrecen. In her work with insects, Babits defines “personality” as “consistent individual differences”. Consistencies in individual behavior patterns can be observed in the same insects across time or across different situations. To understand the difference between human personality and insect personality, think about what personality means to you in terms of a dog or cat — you think about their playfulness, energy and level of attachment — in contrast to what it means in your friends — you think about their traits(特质) that stand out when you first meet them, and the ways they communicate. In her research, Babits puts firebugs(红蝽) into an experimental container. A computer program then analyzes the movement patterns of the individuals to see how much the insects have explored the container and interacted with the novel objects. Three days later, the same individuals are put into the container again to see if their behavior remains consistent. Two traits of a firebug’s personality are activity and explorativeness. “These are usually related. With activity, you can see how much time the individual spends exploring its surroundings,” Babits explains, “Explorativeness is more connected to the space — some individuals just like exploring a small section of the container, while others go around trying to explore the nooks and crannies.” Another trait is sociability. To assess it in firebugs, Babits maps the insects’ social networks. If two firebugs are in the same location at the same time and have a physical interaction, then they are considered in the same social network. Like humans, some firebugs are sociable and others prefer to keep to themselves. Diverse personalities could be the key to survival for insect species. “In different situations, different personality types are beneficial for the group or for the species itself. If there are individuals who are more explorative, they can discover new food sources,” says Babits. “Understanding insect personality can give us insight into other aspects of that insect’s behavior such as habitat expansion and social organization.” Next time an ant or fly pays you a visit, just remember: “What you see is indeed a truly unique individual,” says Babits. 12. Why does the author mention “a dog or cat” in paragraph 3? A. To support Babits’ definition of personality. B. To help readers better understand insect personality. C. To show the difference between pets and insects. D. To compare human personality with animal personality. 13. Why does Babits put the same firebugs into the container again after three days? A. To test the firebugs’ memory. B. To confirm the firebugs’ personality. C. To analyze the firebugs’ movement patterns. D. To train the firebugs to form their personality. 14. What does the underlined part “the nooks and crannies” in paragraph 5 imply? A. The firebugs are active in learning new tasks. B. The firebugs tend to form different social groups. C. The firebugs are looking for different food sources. D The firebugs like exploring every part of the container. 15. What trait, according to the text, can most likely help insects find food? A. Explorativeness. B. Energy. C. Playfulness. D. Sociability. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 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。 Being a great reader involves more than just reading.

This is what I experienced with Alex. I always thought Alex and I were so different. I was the serious one, the star of the debate team who always came prepared. Alex, on the other hand, was known for his unconcerned manner and his constant sketching (画素描). We shared a biology class but never spoke. To be honest, I thought we had nothing in common, and I was fine with that. So, you can imagine my disappointment when our teacher paired us for a project on butterflies. I preferred to work alone due to the tight deadline for the project presentation. For the first week, we barely spoke. I buried myself in research, while Alex just sat there, drawing in his notebook. One afternoon, I couldn’t help taking a look at his drawings. I found they weren’t just simple sketches; they were detailed, full of emotion, and surprisingly beautiful. “Why do you spend so much time drawing?” I asked. He looked up, surprised that I had spoken to him. “It helps me think,” he replied softly. “Sometimes words aren’t enough to express what I feel.” His words stuck with me. The next day, I saw him sitting alone in the library, looking really upset. “Is everything okay?” I asked. He sighed, “I’m struggling with the written part of the project. I’m just not good with words.” I realized I had judged him without ever trying to know him. “Maybe I can help with the writing,” I offered. “And you could help me see things in a different way — like through your art.” 注意： (1)续写词数应为150个左右; (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 And that’s what we did. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The day of the project presentation finally arrived. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
