My exposure to diverse cultures and global perspectives was limited. However, during my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to participate in a cross-cultural exchange program that opened my eyes to the beauty and importance of global engagement. This experience not only broadened my horizons (视野), but also shaped my worldview and made me realize the value of learning from different cultures.
My cross-cultural experience began when I was selected to visit a school in Nicaragua. As we arrived in the capital city, Managua, I was immediately struck by the stark contrast to my own hometown. The busy and noisy city, the colorful buildings, and the crowded street markets all seemed like scenes from a different world. I realized, at that time, that this journey would be a transformative experience.
During our time in Nicaragua, we stayed with a local host family who warmly welcomed us into their homes. This immersion (沉浸) into the local culture allowed us to experience firsthand the daily lives of Nicaraguan people. I still remember the smell of homemade food, the sound of children playing in the streets, and the warmth and hospitality of our host family. Despite the language barrier, we quickly formed deep connections and friendships that transcended (超越) words.
One particular experience stands out in my memory. One evening, our host family invited us to a traditional Nicaraguan celebration. As we arrived at the colorful square, I was amazed by the sights and sounds that surrounded us. The rhythmic beats of traditional music filled the air, and people were joyously dancing and celebrating. It was at that moment when I found myself moving to the rhythm and enjoying the local customs that I realized the power of cultural exchange. I felt a sense of unity and connection with the people around me, despite our differences. This experience taught me that understanding and respecting different cultures can bring people closer together and help build a more connected world.
4. How did the exchange program affect the author?
A. It shaped his view on his country. B. It made him fall in love with travel.
C. It deepened his understanding of the world. D. It helped him know the importance of learning.
5. What does the underlined word “stark” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Clear. B. Fair. C. Expected. D. Common.
6. What did the author say about the language barrier?
A. It created misunderstandings at first. B. It made cultural immersion impossible.
C. It failed to block genuine human bonds. D. It was overcome through formal lessons.
7. What did the author learn from the exchange program?
A. Music and dance were universal languages.
B. Celebrations brought people together naturally.
C. Local customs were worth experiencing firsthand.
D. True connection went beyond cultural differences.
【答案】4. C 5. A 6. C 7. D

Newly published research finds that tropical forests can rebound up to twice as fast after deforestation (毁林) when their soils contain enough nitrogen (氮). The study shows that what happens below ground plays a major role in how quickly forests return after land has been cleared. Scientists led by the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients shape forest regrowth.
The researchers selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for as long as 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to follow how trees grew and died as forests recovered over time. To test the role of nutrients, the plots received different treatments. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some were given phosphorus (磷) fertiliser, some received both nutrients, and some were left untreated. This approach allowed the scientists to directly compare how forests responded under different soil conditions.
The results show that soil nutrients strongly influence how quickly tropical forests regrow. During the first 10 years of recovery, forests with adequate nitrogen rebounded at about twice the rate of those lacking it. Phosphorus alone did not produce the same effect.
Wen, who carried out the research, said, “Our study is exciting because it suggests there are ways we can boost the capture and storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.”
Although nitrogen fertiliser was used in the experiment, the researchers do not recommend fertilising forests. Widespread fertiliser use could lead to harmful side effects, including emissions of N2O, a powerful greenhouse gas. Instead, the team suggests practical alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which naturally add nitrogen to the soil. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution.
8. What is the key to forest regrowth?
A. The forest size. B. The tropical location.
C. The type of nutrient. D. The land-clearing method.
9. Why did the researchers treat the forest plots differently?
A. To find proper trees. B. To make a comparison.
C. To choose the best plot. D. To test the soil nutrients.
10. What made researchers refuse to recommend nitrogen fertiliser?
A. Its potential environmental risks. B. Its poor availability in rural areas.
C. Its limited effect on forest growth. D. Its high cost and complex application.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Air Pollution Accidentally Helps Forest Recover
B. Scientists Measure Tropical Forest Recovery Time
C. Nitrogen Fertiliser May Do Harm to the Atmosphere
D. Scientists Found the Soil Secret That Doubles Forest Regrowth
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍新研究表明土壤中含足够氮时热带森林在毁林后恢复速度可快达两倍,阐述相关实验过程、结果及对森林恢复的意义,并说明不推荐用氮肥的原因及替代办法。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。依据第一段中的“Newly published research finds that tropical forests can rebound up to twice as fast after deforestation (毁林) when their soils contain enough nitrogen (氮). The study shows that what happens below ground plays a major role in how quickly forests return after land has been cleared.(新发表的研究发现,当土壤中含有足够的氮时,热带森林在毁林后恢复速度可快达两倍。该研究表明,地下发生的情况对土地被清理后森林恢复的速度起着重要作用。)”以及第三段中的“The results show that soil nutrients strongly influence how quickly tropical forests regrow. During the first 10 years of recovery, forests with adequate nitrogen rebounded at about twice the rate of those lacking it. Phosphorus alone did not produce the same effect.(结果表明,土壤养分强烈影响热带森林的再生速度。在恢复的前10年里,氮含量充足的森林恢复速度大约是氮含量不足的森林的两倍。仅施用磷不会产生同样的效果。)”可知,森林恢复的关键在于养分类型,特别是氮元素。故选C项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“To test the role of nutrients, the plots received different treatments. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some were given phosphorus (磷) fertiliser, some received both nutrients, and some were left untreated. This approach allowed the scientists to directly compare how forests responded under different soil conditions.(为了测试养分的作用,这些地块接受了不同的处理。一些地块施用氮肥,一些地块施用磷肥,一些地块同时施用两种养分,还有一些地块不做处理。这种方法使科学家能够直接比较森林在不同土壤条件下的反应。)”可知,研究人员对森林地块进行不同处理是为了进行对比。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“Although nitrogen fertiliser was used in the experiment, the researchers do not recommend fertilising forests. Widespread fertiliser use could lead to harmful side effects, including emissions of N2O, a powerful greenhouse gas.(尽管在实验中使用了氮肥,但研究人员不建议对森林施肥。广泛使用化肥可能会导致有害的副作用,包括排放强大的温室气体N2O。)”可知,研究人员拒绝推荐氮肥是因为其潜在的环境风险。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。文章开篇点明研究发现土壤含足够氮能使热带森林恢复速度翻倍,接着讲述相关实验,然后说明不推荐氮肥的原因及替代方案,整体围绕科学家发现使森林恢复速度翻倍的土壤秘密展开。所以D选项“Scientists Found the Soil Secret That Doubles Forest Regrowth(科学家发现使森林恢复速度翻倍的土壤秘密)”最适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
D
Many residents viewed bottled water sold in large refillable containers as the safest choice. However, testing showed that among the 11 water sources examined, bottled water was the most likely to contain coliform bacteria (大肠菌群). “We found there is a clear gap between what people believe about water safety and what is actually happening in their homes, and that can have major public health implications,” said Dr Brooke Ramay, a researcher from Washington State University.
Unsafe drinking water continues to be a serious global health issue. More than 4 billion people around the world lack access to safely managed water, and polluted water contributes to millions of cases of diarrheal illness each year, especially among children. Polluted water is also increasingly linked to the spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (耐药菌).
The research team surveyed 60 households, split evenly between urban and rural areas, and collected water samples from several sources, including bottled, piped, well, spring, and filtered water. The samples were analyzed for coliform bacteria. Despite being widely trusted, bottled water was six times more likely to test positive for coliform bacteria than other water sources. Only 17% of bottled water samples met World Health Organization standards for safe drinking water.
The study also highlighted how cultural beliefs influence everyday behavior. People who trust their water source are less likely to boil or treat it, and those who rely on bottled water often skip cleaning water dispensers (饮水机).
“Our results suggest that beliefs about water safety may actually contribute to pollution because people do not take the same steps with sources they trust as they do with other less trusted ones,” said Ramay. “Understanding how people view water safety is key to improving public health. When people believe their water is safe, they don’t take extra measures, but when they see a risk, they change their behavior.”
12. What does Ramay imply in paragraph 1?
A. Views on water safety differ from reality. B. Bottled water is probably safe.
C. People know water safety well. D. Home water affects public health.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Global health issues. B. The effect of polluted water.
C. Water management problems. D. The spread of bacteria in water.
14. What does the study find about bottled water?
A. It has poor test results though trusted by people.
B. It is unimproved when dispensers are cleaned.
C. It meets standards more than other sources.
D. It is the safest choice among all sources.
15. What might Ramay agree with about drinking water safely?
A. Choosing the water you like best. B. Never believing bottled water is safe.
C. Changing the thought of clean water. D. Understanding water safety correctly.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕瓶装水的安全隐患展开,通过研究数据打破公众认知误区,分析背后成因并提出健康启示。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的句子““We found there is a clear gap between what people believe about water safety and what is actually happening in their homes, and that can have major public health implications,” said Dr Brooke Ramay, a researcher from Washington State University.(华盛顿州立大学的研究员布鲁克·拉梅博士说:“我们发现,人们对水安全的认知与他们家中的实际情况之间存在明显差距,这可能会对公众健康产生重大影响。”)”可知,拉梅暗示人们对水安全的看法与现实存在差异。故选A项。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段的句子“Unsafe drinking water continues to be a serious global health issue. More than 4 billion people around the world lack access to safely managed water, and polluted water contributes to millions of cases of diarrheal illness each year, especially among children. Polluted water is also increasingly linked to the spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria.(不安全饮用水仍然是一个严重的全球健康问题。全球有超过40亿人无法获得安全管理的饮用水,受污染的水每年导致数百万例腹泻病例,尤其是在儿童中。受污染的水还与耐药菌的传播日益相关。)”可知,第二段主要讨论了受污染水的影响。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的句子“Despite being widely trusted, bottled water was six times more likely to test positive for coliform bacteria than other water sources. Only 17% of bottled water samples met World Health Organization standards for safe drinking water.(尽管瓶装水广受信任,但它的大肠杆菌检测呈阳性的可能性是其他水源的6倍。只有17%的瓶装水样本符合世界卫生组织的安全饮用水标准。)”可知,研究发现瓶装水虽然深受人们信任,但检测结果不佳。故选A项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段Ramay说的话“Understanding how people view water safety is key to improving public health. When people believe their water is safe, they don’t take extra measures, but when they see a risk, they change their behavior.(了解人们对水安全的看法是改善公众健康的关键。当人们认为自己的水是安全的,他们就不会采取额外措施,但当他们看到风险时,他们就会改变行为。)”可知,拉梅可能会认同正确理解水安全对安全饮水很重要。故选D项。

Success is not always about what you do, but about how you think. The way you face challenges, setbacks, and opportunities shapes the path you take. ____16____ It keeps you stuck in cycles of doubt, fear, and hesitation. Understanding these patterns will help you break free and move forward with clarity and confidence.
____17____ Your mind has a natural tendency to focus on problems because they are urgent and need attention. But when you focus too much on what’s wrong, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of frustration and helplessness. Your energy drains (耗尽) as you think about the same issues without making progress.
You are afraid of what people will think if you fail. Being seen as someone who could succeed creates pressure that is too heavy to carry. The thought of failing in front of others, disappointing them, or losing their respect is overwhelming. It isn’t just about failure itself — it is about the judgment that might follow. ____18____
You don’t believe your hard work will pay off. Effort can sometimes feel invisible, especially when results don’t come as quickly as you hope. The problem is that by doubting that your hard work will make a difference, you lose motivation and give up before you’ve really had a chance to succeed. ____19____ Often, the most meaningful achievements come from steady, patient effort over time.
You think small and avoid dreaming big. Limiting your dreams to what is safe or realistic can quietly shrink (缩小) your potential. When you think small, you miss out on growing beyond your limits and discovering what you’ re truly capable of. ____20____ You’re afraid of failure, disappointment, or even standing out. But settling for less doesn’t protect you. It keeps you trapped in a life that is smaller than it could be.
A. Often, this belief comes from fear.
B. It’s great to solve problems by yourself.
C. You focus on problems instead of solutions.
D. That fear often stops people from trying new things.
E. You don’t want to lose your interest in learning skills.
F. Sometimes, your own mind becomes the biggest barrier.
G. It’s important to remember that success rarely happens overnight.
【答案】16. F 17. C 18. D 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,阐述了成功更多取决于思维方式,而非行为本身。文章列举了几种阻碍前进的消极思维模式,如只关注问题、害怕他人评判、怀疑努力的价值、不敢拥有远大梦想等,并指出这些思维模式是成功路上的最大障碍。
【16题详解】
根据上文 “The way you face challenges, setbacks, and opportunities shapes the path you take. (你面对挑战、挫折和机遇的方式决定了你走的道路)” 以及下文 “It keeps you stuck in cycles of doubt, fear, and hesitation. (它让你陷入怀疑、恐惧和犹豫的循环)” 可知,空格处指出内心是最大障碍。F选项 “Sometimes, your own mind becomes the biggest barrier. (有时,你自己的内心会成为最大的障碍)” 承上启下,符合语境。故选F项。
【17题详解】
根据下文 “Your mind has a natural tendency to focus on problems because they are urgent and need attention. (你的大脑天生倾向于关注问题)” 可知,空格处为本段主旨,说明你只关注问题而不是解决方案。C选项 “You focus on problems instead of solutions .(你只关注问题而不是解决方案)” 概括本段内容,符合语境。故选C项。
【18题详解】
根据上文 “It isn’t just about failure itself — it is about the judgment that might follow. (这不仅仅是失败本身,还关乎随之而来的评判。)” 可知,空格处说明这种恐惧带来的后果。D选项 “That fear often stops people from trying new things. (那种恐惧常常阻止人们尝试新事物。)” 承接上文,符合语境。故选D项。
【19题详解】
根据下文 “Often, the most meaningful achievements come from steady, patient effort over time. (通常,最有意义的成就来自长期稳定、耐心的付出。)” 可知,空格处强调成功并非一蹴而就。G 选项 “It’s important to remember that success rarely happens overnight. (重要的是要记住,成功很少一蹴而就。)” 引出下文,符合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
根据下文 “You’re afraid of failure, disappointment, or even standing out. (你害怕失败、失望,甚至害怕脱颖而出。)” 可知,空格处指出这种想法来源。A选项 “Often, this belief comes from fear. (通常,这种想法源于恐惧,)” 承接上文,符合语境。故选A项。

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 had just stepped off the plane after an exhausting business trip in Los Angeles. It was June 13th, and as I stood at the baggage carousel (传送带), waiting for my luggage, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief wash over me. All I wanted was to go home and see Eric, who’d been waiting to celebrate our 33rd anniversary together. But as I picked up my suitcase, my heart skipped a beat — the diamond from my engagement ring (订婚戒指) was missing.
“Oh no,” I whispered to myself, my heart sinking. Panic set in. I truly didn’t think I was ever going to see that precious diamond again. It wasn’t just a piece of jewelry; it was a symbol of our love and commitment.
Without hesitation, I rushed back to the airline desk, determined to find my diamond. I reported the loss to an airline staff member, who immediately showed concern and offered support. A maintenance team, led by Tom Riordan, a dedicated stationary engineer with two decades of experience, quickly acted to help me.
“We’ll do everything we can to find it,” Tom said firmly, his eyes reflecting a genuine commitment to helping me. His team quickly got to work, moving among the complicated mechanical devices beneath the carousel. I stood there, feeling helpless but grateful for their firm dedication.
After an hour and a half of searching, Tom turned to me with a sympathetic look. “We haven’t found it yet, but the next shift will continue the search,” he said. “Don’t worry, we won’t give up.”
I left the airport that day with a heavy heart, but Tom’s assurance kept a small spark of hope alive within me.

【答案】参考范文:
A few hours later, surprisingly, I got a call from Tom. “Madam, we have found it!” he shouted, and his voice was full of joy. I couldn’t believe it. My jaw dropped as Tom explained how the team found the diamond. “It was like finding a needle in a haystack,” he said. I rushed back to the airport, my heart racing with hope. Tom showed a tiny plastic bag containing my diamond. When I saw it sparkling in his palm, I felt a surge of emotion.
Tears welled up in my eyes as I thanked Tom and his team, over and over again. “You have no idea how much this means to me,” I said. “I travel a lot and go to many airports. But I’ve never had an experience like this before. You treat me like an important person, not just a random passenger.” Tom smiled, eyes twinkling with kindness. Reflecting on the experience, I realized how lucky I was to have met such kind-hearted people. Their compassion and teamwork had turned despair into joyful reunion.

My exposure to diverse cultures and global perspectives was limited. However, during my senior year of high school, I had the opportunity to participate in a cross-cultural exchange program that opened my eyes to the beauty and importance of global engagement. This experience not only broadened my horizons (视野), but also shaped my worldview and made me realize the value of learning from different cultures.
My cross-cultural experience began when I was selected to visit a school in Nicaragua. As we arrived in the capital city, Managua, I was immediately struck by the stark contrast to my own hometown. The busy and noisy city, the colorful buildings, and the crowded street markets all seemed like scenes from a different world. I realized, at that time, that this journey would be a transformative experience.
During our time in Nicaragua, we stayed with a local host family who warmly welcomed us into their homes. This immersion (沉浸) into the local culture allowed us to experience firsthand the daily lives of Nicaraguan people. I still remember the smell of homemade food, the sound of children playing in the streets, and the warmth and hospitality of our host family. Despite the language barrier, we quickly formed deep connections and friendships that transcended (超越) words.
One particular experience stands out in my memory. One evening, our host family invited us to a traditional Nicaraguan celebration. As we arrived at the colorful square, I was amazed by the sights and sounds that surrounded us. The rhythmic beats of traditional music filled the air, and people were joyously dancing and celebrating. It was at that moment when I found myself moving to the rhythm and enjoying the local customs that I realized the power of cultural exchange. I felt a sense of unity and connection with the people around me, despite our differences. This experience taught me that understanding and respecting different cultures can bring people closer together and help build a more connected world.
4. How did the exchange program affect the author?
A. It shaped his view on his country. B. It made him fall in love with travel.
C. It deepened his understanding of the world. D. It helped him know the importance of learning.
5. What does the underlined word “stark” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Clear. B. Fair. C. Expected. D. Common.
6. What did the author say about the language barrier?
A. It created misunderstandings at first. B. It made cultural immersion impossible.
C. It failed to block genuine human bonds. D. It was overcome through formal lessons.
7. What did the author learn from the exchange program?
A. Music and dance were universal languages.
B. Celebrations brought people together naturally.
C. Local customs were worth experiencing firsthand.
D. True connection went beyond cultural differences.
C
Newly published research finds that tropical forests can rebound up to twice as fast after deforestation (毁林) when their soils contain enough nitrogen (氮). The study shows that what happens below ground plays a major role in how quickly forests return after land has been cleared. Scientists led by the University of Leeds launched the largest and longest experiment ever designed to examine how nutrients shape forest regrowth.
The researchers selected 76 forest plots across Central America and monitored them for as long as 20 years. Each site differed in age and size, allowing the team to follow how trees grew and died as forests recovered over time. To test the role of nutrients, the plots received different treatments. Some were given nitrogen fertiliser, some were given phosphorus (磷) fertiliser, some received both nutrients, and some were left untreated. This approach allowed the scientists to directly compare how forests responded under different soil conditions.
The results show that soil nutrients strongly influence how quickly tropical forests regrow. During the first 10 years of recovery, forests with adequate nitrogen rebounded at about twice the rate of those lacking it. Phosphorus alone did not produce the same effect.
Wen, who carried out the research, said, “Our study is exciting because it suggests there are ways we can boost the capture and storage of greenhouse gases through reforestation by managing the nutrients available to trees.”
Although nitrogen fertiliser was used in the experiment, the researchers do not recommend fertilising forests. Widespread fertiliser use could lead to harmful side effects, including emissions of N2O, a powerful greenhouse gas. Instead, the team suggests practical alternatives. Forest managers could plant trees from the bean family, which naturally add nitrogen to the soil. Another option is restoring forests in areas that already have sufficient nitrogen due to the effects of air pollution.
8. What is the key to forest regrowth?
A. The forest size. B. The tropical location.
C. The type of nutrient. D. The land-clearing method.
9. Why did the researchers treat the forest plots differently?
A. To find proper trees. B. To make a comparison.
C. To choose the best plot. D. To test the soil nutrients.
10. What made researchers refuse to recommend nitrogen fertiliser?
A. Its potential environmental risks. B. Its poor availability in rural areas.
C. Its limited effect on forest growth. D. Its high cost and complex application.
11. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Air Pollution Accidentally Helps Forest Recover
B. Scientists Measure Tropical Forest Recovery Time
C. Nitrogen Fertiliser May Do Harm to the Atmosphere
D. Scientists Found the Soil Secret That Doubles Forest Regrowth
D
Many residents viewed bottled water sold in large refillable containers as the safest choice. However, testing showed that among the 11 water sources examined, bottled water was the most likely to contain coliform bacteria (大肠菌群). “We found there is a clear gap between what people believe about water safety and what is actually happening in their homes, and that can have major public health implications,” said Dr Brooke Ramay, a researcher from Washington State University.
Unsafe drinking water continues to be a serious global health issue. More than 4 billion people around the world lack access to safely managed water, and polluted water contributes to millions of cases of diarrheal illness each year, especially among children. Polluted water is also increasingly linked to the spread of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria (耐药菌).
The research team surveyed 60 households, split evenly between urban and rural areas, and collected water samples from several sources, including bottled, piped, well, spring, and filtered water. The samples were analyzed for coliform bacteria. Despite being widely trusted, bottled water was six times more likely to test positive for coliform bacteria than other water sources. Only 17% of bottled water samples met World Health Organization standards for safe drinking water.
The study also highlighted how cultural beliefs influence everyday behavior. People who trust their water source are less likely to boil or treat it, and those who rely on bottled water often skip cleaning water dispensers (饮水机).
“Our results suggest that beliefs about water safety may actually contribute to pollution because people do not take the same steps with sources they trust as they do with other less trusted ones,” said Ramay. “Understanding how people view water safety is key to improving public health. When people believe their water is safe, they don’t take extra measures, but when they see a risk, they change their behavior.”
12. What does Ramay imply in paragraph 1?
A. Views on water safety differ from reality. B. Bottled water is probably safe.
C. People know water safety well. D. Home water affects public health.
13. What does paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. Global health issues. B. The effect of polluted water.
C. Water management problems. D. The spread of bacteria in water.
14. What does the study find about bottled water?

Success is not always about what you do, but about how you think. The way you face challenges, setbacks, and opportunities shapes the path you take. ____16____ It keeps you stuck in cycles of doubt, fear, and hesitation. Understanding these patterns will help you break free and move forward with clarity and confidence.
____17____ Your mind has a natural tendency to focus on problems because they are urgent and need attention. But when you focus too much on what’s wrong, it’s easy to get stuck in a cycle of frustration and helplessness. Your energy drains (耗尽) as you think about the same issues without making progress.
You are afraid of what people will think if you fail. Being seen as someone who could succeed creates pressure that is too heavy to carry. The thought of failing in front of others, disappointing them, or losing their respect is overwhelming. It isn’t just about failure itself — it is about the judgment that might follow. ____18____
You don’t believe your hard work will pay off. Effort can sometimes feel invisible, especially when results don’t come as quickly as you hope. The problem is that by doubting that your hard work will make a difference, you lose motivation and give up before you’ve really had a chance to succeed. ____19____ Often, the most meaningful achievements come from steady, patient effort over time.
You think small and avoid dreaming big. Limiting your dreams to what is safe or realistic can quietly shrink (缩小) your potential. When you think small, you miss out on growing beyond your limits and discovering what you’ re truly capable of. ____20____ You’re afraid of failure, disappointment, or even standing out. But settling for less doesn’t protect you. It keeps you trapped in a life that is smaller than it could be.
A. Often, this belief comes from fear.
B. It’s great to solve problems by yourself.
C. You focus on problems instead of solutions.
D. That fear often stops people from trying new things.
E. You don’t want to lose your interest in learning skills.
F. Sometimes, your own mind becomes the biggest barrier.
G. It’s important to remember that success rarely happens overnight.

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 had just stepped off the plane after an exhausting business trip in Los Angeles. It was June 13th, and as I stood at the baggage carousel (传送带), waiting for my luggage, I couldn’t help but feel a wave of relief wash over me. All I wanted was to go home and see Eric, who’d been waiting to celebrate our 33rd anniversary together. But as I picked up my suitcase, my heart skipped a beat — the diamond from my engagement ring (订婚戒指) was missing.
“Oh no,” I whispered to myself, my heart sinking. Panic set in. I truly didn’t think I was ever going to see that precious diamond again. It wasn’t just a piece of jewelry; it was a symbol of our love and commitment.
Without hesitation, I rushed back to the airline desk, determined to find my diamond. I reported the loss to an airline staff member, who immediately showed concern and offered support. A maintenance team, led by Tom Riordan, a dedicated stationary engineer with two decades of experience, quickly acted to help me.
“We’ll do everything we can to find it,” Tom said firmly, his eyes reflecting a genuine commitment to helping me. His team quickly got to work, moving among the complicated mechanical devices beneath the carousel. I stood there, feeling helpless but grateful for their firm dedication.
After an hour and a half of searching, Tom turned to me with a sympathetic look. “We haven’t found it yet, but the next shift will continue the search,” he said. “Don’t worry, we won’t give up.”
I left the airport that day with a heavy heart, but Tom’s assurance kept a small spark of hope alive within me.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

A few hours later, surprisingly, I got a call from Tom.

Tears welled up in my eyes as I thanked Tom and his team, over and over again.
