第二部分:阅读理解(共两节,满分50分)
第一节:(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题纸上将该项涂黑。
A
Let’s play games from different countries and learn about different cultures.
Otedama (Japan)
It is played alone with five small sandbags. The player kneels down behind the sandbags, throws one in the air, then uses the same hand to quickly pick up another bag and catch the first. Keep going until you’re holding all five. Too easy? Throw up all the bags and catch them on the back of your hand.
Fengzheng (China)
Fengzhengs or kites are believed to have been invented in China during the fifth century BC by Mozi and Lu Ban. By the fifth century AD, paper kites were being used for military purposes such as signaling and measuring distances. These days, locals commonly fly handmade kites to mark the arrival of spring. In Beijing, the kite string is traditionally cut to allow bad luck to be blown away by the wind.
Topfschlagen (Germany)
Germany is the world’s top exporter of chocolate, so no wonder this game is based on the sweet reward. Put some chocolate under an overturned cooking pot. Kids take turns crawling on the ground blindfolded and lightly strike whatever’s in their path with a wooden spoon. When the spoon hits the pot, the chocolate hunter gathers up the treasure.
EI Gatoy El Raton (Costa Rica)
It is a favorite group circle game for kids. One plays el gato (the cat); another is el raton (the mouse). The rest hold hands, forming a circle around the mouse. As the group skips and sings “the cat wants to get the mouse”, the cat runs outside the circle trying to touch the mouse. The players forming the circle raise and lower their arms to block the cat, and the mouse runs around to avoid being touched. When the cat “gets” the mouse, start over with a new cat and mouse.
1. Which game was once used for wars?
A. Otedama. B. Fengzheng. C. Topfschlagen. D. EI Gatoy El Raton.
2 What is the reward for the Topfschlagen players?
A. Kites. B. Beans. C. Meat. D. Chocolate.
3. What is special about El Gatoy El Raton?
A. It requires at least four players in each round.
B. It is related with a country’s top exported goods.
C. It must be played by children and adults together.
D. It started in the East and spread all around the world.
B
I never liked rings. I do not wear a high school ring; I do not wear a college ring, and I did not want to wear a wedding ring. This was not because I did not want people to know that I was married, but because I just did not feel comfortable with a ring on my finger.
After graduating from college, I finally was about to “pop the question” to my sweetheart, Sharon GailWeingarton, who was at my side continually after I was seriously injured during a robbery.
Sharon was the best — pretty, kind, sweet, and goodhearted. However, what would she say when I proposed and said that I did not want to wear a wedding ring? I practiced what I was going to say to her. I thought long and hard. I finally decided that there was no answer to my problem. I would simply tell her, and then wait five minutes for the explosion.
So that night I proposed, and afterwards I told Sharon that I was not going to wear a ring. I simply said: “I just don't like rings. I don't wear a high school ring....” I expected Sharon to become enraged: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE NOT GOING TO WEAR A WEDDING RING?”
However, instead, I merely heard silence. After what in my mind seemed like an age, Sharon quietly remarked: “Fine. If you don't want to wear a wedding ring, I won't change my name. I will not call myself Sharon Segal.”
On our fifteenth anniversary (周年纪念日), I remembered the first lesson of marriage that was taught to me by my wife Sharon Gail Segal as I looked down upon the ring on my ring finger — COMPROMISE (妥协).
4. Why didn't the author want to wear a wedding ring?
A. He hated letting others know he was married. B. Rings just made him feel uncomfortable.
C He thought wedding rings were unnecessary. D. He forgot to prepare a ring for the proposal.
5. What can we infer about Sharon from the text?
A. She was angry with the author's decision at first. B. She chose to end the relationship a bit later.
C. She was calm and willing to meet halfway. D. She cared more about her name than the ring.
6. What does the underlined word “enraged” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Excited. B. Disappointed. C. Confused. D. Angry.
7. What is the main idea of the text?
A. The first important lesson of marriage the author learned.
B. The author's experience of proposing to his girlfriend.
C. How a wedding ring disagreement tested the couple's love.
D. Why the author finally changed his attitude towards rings.
C
Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne (UC) in Germany have developed an AI-based learning system.
The idea is simple yet effective: a webcam (网络摄像头) tracks students’ eye movements. Maike Schindler, a math professor from the UC, and her team have designed hundreds of math tasks involving basic math skills. Depending on the task, specific patterns appear, which are shown digitally on a heat map, with red indicating areas where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly. Confident students quickly get to key problem areas, while struggling ones often look aimlessly.
“Tracking eye movements helps recognize different learning strategies through patterns and finally create detailed support reports for teachers,” says Maike Schindler. “The AI system sorts the patterns. On the basis, the software selects tailored learning videos and exercises for the pupil,” says robotics professor Achim Lilienthal from the TUM.
To develop the new eye-tracking technology, Professor Lilienthal has drawn on his robotics research experience. In that work, he used eye trackers with a small human-like robot named Nao. It enables better communication with humans. However, these advanced systems with high accuracy cost many thousands of euros.
To find a better solution for schools, the researchers cleverly mix technical experience with math knowledge. Instead of using high-end eye-trackers, their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy through AI improvements. “By focusing on problem areas, the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam, achieving accuracy comparable to high-end tools,” professor Lilienthal says.
Germany’s Wulfen Comprehensive School is the first to introduce the system. A math test there showed that about one-third of the new students struggled with basic math. With the AI system, one teacher can now support five students at once — a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching. “As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,” says Schindler.
8. What is the function of the heat map?
A. Presenting students’ focus areas.
B. Measuring the difficulty of math tasks.
C. Tracking the eye movements of students.
D. Comparing students’ problem-solving speeds.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The system’s advantages in recognizing eye problems.
B. The system’s role in supporting personalized learning.
C The system’s challenges in tracking student behavior.
D. The system’s progress in upgrading specific patterns.
10. Which best describes the AI-driven eye-tracking technology?
A. Helpful but slow. B. Simple and relaxing.
C. Creative but costly. D. Affordable and effective.
11. What does Wulfen Comprehensive School get from the system?
A. Reduction in teacher training. B. Adaptation to learning needs.
C. Inspiration for advanced math. D. Absence of human judgment.
D
“One issue that hasn’t really been examined much is what happens in the here and now — are we happier spending our money on an experience or on a material item?” says Amit Kumar, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. “The basic finding from a lot of experiments is that people gain more happiness from their experiences than from their possessions.”
The researchers organized 2,635 adults and randomly assigned them to a material or experiential group. The participants received random texts during the day to monitor their emotions and their purchasing behavior.
Material purchasers bought things such as jewelry, clothing, or furniture; Experiential shoppers attended sporting events, dined at restaurants, or engaged in other experiences.
The results: Happiness was higher for participants who consumed experiential purchases versus material ones in every kind, regardless of the cost of the item.
“It would be unfair to compare a shirt to a trip, but when we explain the reason for price, we still see this result where experiences are associated with more happiness,” Kumar says.
To address possible differences in types of consumers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they asked more than 5,000 participants to first rate their happiness and then report whether they had used, enjoyed, or consumed either a material or experiential purchase within the past hour. If they responded “yes”, researchers asked participants a series of questions and details about their purchase.
“We still observed the same effect,” Kumar says. “When the very same person was consuming an experience, that was associated with more happiness.”
The researchers concluded that people are happier with experiential purchases over material ones irrespective of when you measure happiness: before, during, or after consumption. Experiences also bring more satisfaction even though people typically spend more time using their material possessions.
The researchers say a possible explanation is the endurance of experiences in people’s memories, while the perceived value of material goods weakens over time.
12. Why was the second experiment conducted?
A. To expect a different result. B. To have subjects of more varieties.
C. To balance the two groups. D. To have more experiential purchasers.
13. What do the two experiments want to prove?
A. Experiences supply more happiness. B. Material possessions bring more happiness.
C. Two experiments show different results. D. Believable results come from more repetitions.
14. What is the possible reason for the result?
A. Happiness from material possessions never stay in the memories.
B. Material possessions can create much less happiness in the mind.
C. Happiness from experiential purchases lasts longer in the memories.
D. Experiential purchases can probably create happiness more quickly.
15. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Wider Experiences, and more Happiness for You.
B. More Money on Purchases and Longer Happiness.
C. To Be Happier, Try to Remember more Experiences.
D. To Feel Happier, Spend on Experiences not Stuff.
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。
For most of us, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. But when it’s about ourselves, we often struggle-thinking it’s selfish, rude, or unkind to speak up for our own needs. ____16____ So how do you shift from championing others to becoming your own advocate?
Building self-worth is the foundation. Just as financial health depends on saving more than you spend, self-worth grows when we keep more of ourselves than we give away. This “currency of self” isn’t limitless-it’s earned, spent, and invested. ____17____ Giving them to things or people that drain you is bound to leave you running on empty.
Boundaries are the guardrails of self-worth. They’re not threats but clear guidelines for what you’ll protect. Healthy boundaries start with honoring your limits-defining what’s sustainable so your resources aren’t exhausted. ____18____
Finally, stop the habit of pleasing people. People-pleasing does indeed please others. However, over time this habit over a long period of time can be harmful to your sense of self-worth. ____19____ Start valuing courage in yourself and others, and try to take small steps of courage in your relationships.
____20____ Speaking them-to yourself or others-is how you carve your place in the world. They shape your journey, guiding you toward a life of substance. Standing up for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s the act of tending to the very worth that lets you show up fully-for others and yourself.
A. Then how can you raise self-worth?
B. Your desires deserve attention, energy, and respect.
C. Healthy boundaries will lead to broader social networks.
D. To break it, start leaning toward courage and inner strength.
E. To grow it, protect your time, energy, and emotional reserves.
F. State them clearly, and others will understand how to respect you.
G. Yet, dismissing your own needs weakens self-worth and invites disregard.

“I want to ride some more!”
“More?” the father asked, “You’re not ___27___ ?”
“Not at all. It is fun! Fun!” his son pleaded, looking into his father’s eyes ___28___ . “All right,” the father agreed, and when the door opened we all got on. I realized that the father and his son were just riding this train together, making it exciting, sharing each other’s ___29___ .
At this warm ___30___ , I was lost in thought. Some parents afford to send their children to study abroad alone, ___31___ they end up going on the wrong track. Some parents live in million-dollar houses and ___32___ to meet their children’s every need, even unreasonable ones. As a consequence, their children become ___33___ .
What’s wrong? The answer is so simple: parents should care enough to ___34___ some time with their children, to pay attention and to try their best. It doesn’t cost a cent, but it is the most ___35___ thing in the world.

I was always the kind of person who tried hard to please everyone around me. Whether it was my classmates, teachers, or family members, I went out of my way to make them happy. I would agree to do things I didn’t really want to do, like lending my favorite books that I was still reading to classmates who asked, or sacrificing my own study time to help others with their homework.
One day, my classmate Lily asked me to help her with a difficult math project. The project was due in a week, and it was going to take up a lot of my time. I had my own study plans and a big English test was around the corner, but I couldn’t bring myself to say no. So, I started spending hours every day helping Lily. We worked on the math problems, did research, and prepared the presentation together.
As the days passed, I was getting more and more stressed. I was constantly tired from staying up late to study for my English test after helping Lily. On the day of the English test, I was so sleepy and unfocused that I made a lot of silly mistakes. When the results came out, I got a much lower grade than I had expected. I was devastated (崩溃的).
Lily, on the other hand, got a great grade on the math project and was very happy. She thanked me, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, I felt a sense of resentment (怨恨) building up inside me. I realized that I had put my own needs aside for so long to please others, and it had finally had a negative effect on me.
That evening, I sat in my room, thinking about what had happened. I was tired of always being the one to give in and sacrifice for others. I decided that things had to change.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了来自不同国家的四个传统游戏。
【1题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Fengzheng (China)一节中“By the fifth century AD, paper kites were being used for military purposes such as signaling and measuring distances.(到公元5世纪,纸风筝被用于军事目的,如发送信号和测量距离。)”可知Fengzheng曾被用于战争。故选B。
【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据 Topfschlagen (Germany)一节中“Germany is the world’s top exporter of chocolate, so no wonder this game is based on the sweet reward.(德国是世界上最大的巧克力出口国,难怪这个游戏是基于甜蜜的奖励。)”可知Topfschlagen选手的奖励是巧克力。故选D。
【3题详解】

I never liked rings. I do not wear a high school ring; I do not wear a college ring, and I did not want to wear a wedding ring. This was not because I did not want people to know that I was married, but because I just did not feel comfortable with a ring on my finger.
After graduating from college, I finally was about to “pop the question” to my sweetheart, Sharon GailWeingarton, who was at my side continually after I was seriously injured during a robbery.
Sharon was the best — pretty, kind, sweet, and goodhearted. However, what would she say when I proposed and said that I did not want to wear a wedding ring? I practiced what I was going to say to her. I thought long and hard. I finally decided that there was no answer to my problem. I would simply tell her, and then wait five minutes for the explosion.
So that night I proposed, and afterwards I told Sharon that I was not going to wear a ring. I simply said: “I just don't like rings. I don't wear a high school ring....” I expected Sharon to become enraged: “WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU’RE NOT GOING TO WEAR A WEDDING RING?”
However, instead, I merely heard silence. After what in my mind seemed like an age, Sharon quietly remarked: “Fine. If you don't want to wear a wedding ring, I won't change my name. I will not call myself Sharon Segal.”
On our fifteenth anniversary (周年纪念日), I remembered the first lesson of marriage that was taught to me by my wife Sharon Gail Segal as I looked down upon the ring on my ring finger — COMPROMISE (妥协).

Researchers from the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the University of Cologne (UC) in Germany have developed an AI-based learning system.
The idea is simple yet effective: a webcam (网络摄像头) tracks students’ eye movements. Maike Schindler, a math professor from the UC, and her team have designed hundreds of math tasks involving basic math skills. Depending on the task, specific patterns appear, which are shown digitally on a heat map, with red indicating areas where the children look frequently and green showing the areas where they look only briefly. Confident students quickly get to key problem areas, while struggling ones often look aimlessly.
“Tracking eye movements helps recognize different learning strategies through patterns and finally create detailed support reports for teachers,” says Maike Schindler. “The AI system sorts the patterns. On the basis, the software selects tailored learning videos and exercises for the pupil,” says robotics professor Achim Lilienthal from the TUM.
To develop the new eye-tracking technology, Professor Lilienthal has drawn on his robotics research experience. In that work, he used eye trackers with a small human-like robot named Nao. It enables better communication with humans. However, these advanced systems with high accuracy cost many thousands of euros.
To find a better solution for schools, the researchers cleverly mix technical experience with math knowledge. Instead of using high-end eye-trackers, their AI-driven approach uses regular webcams and makes up for low accuracy through AI improvements. “By focusing on problem areas, the AI adapts the eye-tracking with the webcam, achieving accuracy comparable to high-end tools,” professor Lilienthal says.
Germany’s Wulfen Comprehensive School is the first to introduce the system. A math test there showed that about one-third of the new students struggled with basic math. With the AI system, one teacher can now support five students at once — a significant improvement over traditional one-on-one teaching. “As education faces teacher shortages and increasing pressure to deal with individual learning styles, our system for promoting basic math skills is simply excellent support for schools,” says Schindler.
8. What is the function of the heat map?
A. Presenting students’ focus areas.
B. Measuring the difficulty of math tasks.
C. Tracking the eye movements of students.
D. Comparing students’ problem-solving speeds.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The system’s advantages in recognizing eye problems.
B. The system’s role in supporting personalized learning.
C. The system’s challenges in tracking student behavior.
D. The system’s progress in upgrading specific patterns.
10. Which best describes the AI-driven eye-tracking technology?
A. Helpful but slow. B. Simple and relaxing.
C. Creative but costly. D. Affordable and effective.
11. What does Wulfen Comprehensive School get from the system?
A. Reduction in teacher training. B. Adaptation to learning needs.
C. Inspiration for advanced math. D. Absence of human judgment.
【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. B

“One issue that hasn’t really been examined much is what happens in the here and now — are we happier spending our money on an experience or on a material item?” says Amit Kumar, assistant professor of marketing at the University of Texas at Austin. “The basic finding from a lot of experiments is that people gain more happiness from their experiences than from their possessions.”
The researchers organized 2,635 adults and randomly assigned them to a material or experiential group. The participants received random texts during the day to monitor their emotions and their purchasing behavior.
Material purchasers bought things such as jewelry, clothing, or furniture; Experiential shoppers attended sporting events, dined at restaurants, or engaged in other experiences.
The results: Happiness was higher for participants who consumed experiential purchases versus material ones in every kind, regardless of the cost of the item.
“It would be unfair to compare a shirt to a trip, but when we explain the reason for price, we still see this result where experiences are associated with more happiness,” Kumar says.
To address possible differences in types of consumers, the researchers conducted a second study in which they asked more than 5,000 participants to first rate their happiness and then report whether they had used, enjoyed, or consumed either a material or experiential purchase within the past hour. If they responded “yes”, researchers asked participants a series of questions and details about their purchase.
“We still observed the same effect,” Kumar says. “When the very same person was consuming an experience, that was associated with more happiness.”
The researchers concluded that people are happier with experiential purchases over material ones irrespective of when you measure happiness: before, during, or after consumption. Experiences also bring more satisfaction even though people typically spend more time using their material possessions.
The researchers say a possible explanation is the endurance of experiences in people’s memories, while the perceived value of material goods weakens over time.
12. Why was the second experiment conducted?
A. To expect a different result. B. To have subjects of more varieties.
C. To balance the two groups. D. To have more experiential purchasers.
13. What do the two experiments want to prove?
A. Experiences supply more happiness. B. Material possessions bring more happiness.
C. Two experiments show different results. D. Believable results come from more repetitions.
14. What is the possible reason for the result?
A. Happiness from material possessions never stay in the memories.
B. Material possessions can create much less happiness in the mind.
C. Happiness from experiential purchases lasts longer in the memories.
D. Experiential purchases can probably create happiness more quickly.
15. What is the most suitable title for the text?
A. Wider Experiences, and more Happiness for You.
B. More Money on Purchases and Longer Happiness.
C. To Be Happier, Try to Remember more Experiences.
D. To Feel Happier, Spend on Experiences not Stuff.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D

For most of us, it’s pretty easy to stand up for someone else. But when it’s about ourselves, we often struggle-thinking it’s selfish, rude, or unkind to speak up for our own needs. ____16____ So how do you shift from championing others to becoming your own advocate?
Building self-worth is the foundation. Just as financial health depends on saving more than you spend, self-worth grows when we keep more of ourselves than we give away. This “currency of self” isn’t limitless-it’s earned, spent, and invested. ____17____ Giving them to things or people that drain you is bound to leave you running on empty.
Boundaries are the guardrails of self-worth. They’re not threats but clear guidelines for what you’ll protect. Healthy boundaries start with honoring your limits-defining what’s sustainable so your resources aren’t exhausted. ____18____
Finally, stop the habit of pleasing people. People-pleasing does indeed please others. However, over time this habit over a long period of time can be harmful to your sense of self-worth. ____19____ Start valuing courage in yourself and others, and try to take small steps of courage in your relationships.
____20____ Speaking them-to yourself or others-is how you carve your place in the world. They shape your journey, guiding you toward a life of substance. Standing up for yourself isn’t selfish; it’s the act of tending to the very worth that lets you show up fully-for others and yourself.
A. Then how can you raise self-worth?
B. Your desires deserve attention, energy, and respect.
C. Healthy boundaries will lead to broader social networks.
D. To break it, start leaning toward courage and inner strength.
E. To grow it, protect your time, energy, and emotional reserves.
F. State them clearly, and others will understand how to respect you.
G. Yet, dismissing your own needs weakens self-worth and invites disregard.

【36题详解】
考查介词。句意:即使在工作日的晚上10点以后,步行区也会因灯光和欢快的音乐而活跃起来。分析句子可知,此处为动词短语come alive with“因……而变得生动活泼”,所以此处为介词with的填入。故填with。
【37题详解】
考查动词时态,语态和主谓一致。句意:主要街道两旁是唐式凉亭,人们穿着中国传统服装悠闲地散步。空处为第一个分句的谓语动词,主语The main street为单数名词和动词line为被动关系,结合上下文时态可知,此处为陈述客观事实,为一般现在时。故填is lined。
【38题详解】

【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:让这个现代娱乐活动与众不同的是一系列以唐代文化元素为特色的户外表演,以现代的方式呈现。分析句子可知,主句已有谓语动词is,空处应填非谓语动词,performances和feature为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式作后置定语。故填featuring。

【43题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:这些互动活动已成为该市的旅游亮点,自6月以来,每天平均吸引30万游客前往大唐购物中心。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,由该句since可知,此处应为现在完成时,主语events为复数名词,所以为动词复数形式。故填have become。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:这些互动活动已成为该市的旅游亮点,自6月以来,每天平均吸引30万游客前往大唐购物中心。an/a...average of“……的平均”是固定短语,修饰词daily的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was always the kind of person who tried hard to please everyone around me. Whether it was my classmates, teachers, or family members, I went out of my way to make them happy. I would agree to do things I didn’t really want to do, like lending my favorite books that I was still reading to classmates who asked, or sacrificing my own study time to help others with their homework.
One day, my classmate Lily asked me to help her with a difficult math project. The project was due in a week, and it was going to take up a lot of my time. I had my own study plans and a big English test was around the corner, but I couldn’t bring myself to say no. So, I started spending hours every day helping Lily. We worked on the math problems, did research, and prepared the presentation together.
As the days passed, I was getting more and more stressed. I was constantly tired from staying up late to study for my English test after helping Lily. On the day of the English test, I was so sleepy and unfocused that I made a lot of silly mistakes. When the results came out, I got a much lower grade than I had expected. I was devastated (崩溃的).
Lily, on the other hand, got a great grade on the math project and was very happy. She thanked me, but I didn’t feel the slightest bit of joy. Instead, I felt a sense of resentment (怨恨) building up inside me. I realized that I had put my own needs aside for so long to please others, and it had finally had a negative effect on me.
That evening, I sat in my room, thinking about what had happened. I was tired of always being the one to give in and sacrifice for others. I decided that things had to change.
注意:
1. 续写词数应为150左右;

The next day at school, another classmate, Tom, came to me with a request.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After firmly saying no to Tom, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and relief.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
The next day at school, another classmate, Tom, came to me with a request. He wanted me to join his group for a history project, which would require a significant amount of my free time. Just a few days ago, I would have immediately said yes without hesitation. But this time, looking at Tom’s expectant face, I summoned up my courage and said, “Tom, I really appreciate you asking me, but I have my own study schedule and personal things to take care of. I’m afraid I can’t join your group.” Tom looked a bit surprised. He tried to persuade me, saying that my ideas would be really helpful for the project. However, I stood my ground and politely declined again.
Paragraph 2:
After firmly saying no to Tom, I felt a strange mix of nervousness and relief. I was nervous because I was worried that Tom might be angry with me or that other classmates would think I was selfish. But at the same time, there was a huge sense of relief. I realized that it was okay to prioritize my own needs. To my surprise, a few days later, Tom came to me again. He said that although he was a bit disappointed at first, he understood my decision. He even thanked me for being honest with him. From then on, I continued to be true to myself. I still helped others when I could, but I no longer over-committed.
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文,本文讲述的是作者之前一直是一个喜欢让别人开心的人,尽管自己不愿意,也会答应别人的请求,这种取悦别人的行为给作者带来了很大的困扰。最终作者决定改变自己,重新做回自己。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天在学校,另一个同学Tom向我提出了一个要求。”可知,第一段可描写Tom向作者寻求帮助,作者因前一天拒绝Lily的求助已想好要拒绝Tom的请求,写作者拒绝Tom的请求,并说服Tom的理由。
②由第二段首句内容“在坚定地拒绝了汤姆之后,我感到一种奇怪的既紧张又宽慰的感觉。”可知,第二段可描写作者在拒绝别人之后的感觉以及作者的醒悟:应该把自己放在第一位。
2.续写线索:Tom寻求帮助——作者拒绝——Tom说服作者,遭受再次拒绝——作者感到紧张和宽慰——要优先考虑自己——Tom理解我——作者做真实自己
