B
From a young age, I collected role models. In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities.
But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.
Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day!
That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.
I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow.
4. How did the author build up her confidence?
A. By cooperating with women of color. B. By observing and copying her models.
C. By making friends with persons like her. D. By starting her own sunglasses company.
5. What is the author’s intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office?
A. To inspire her employees’ creativity. B. To make her workplace more attractive.
C. To encourage herself to achieve success. D. To improve her employees’ work efficiency.
6. Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky?
A. She was afraid of being rejected. B. She only had Vicky’s email address.
C. Vicky’s story had always motivated her. D. Vicky liked giving guidance to other women.
7. What can be concluded according to the text?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Strength flows both ways.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. Actions speak louder than words.
【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. B

【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities.(通过观察和模仿别人——尤其是那些和我长相或声音相似的有色人种女性——我对自己的能力有了信心。)”可知,作者通过观察和模仿她的榜样来建立她的信心。故选B。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.(我决定在我的办公室里建一面灵感墙,上面挂着我能看到的榜样的照片——像Oprah、Michelle Obama和一个护肤品牌的联合创始人Vicky这样的女性。我从没想过会遇到这些女人,但她们的成功给了我希望。)”可知,作者在办公室创建灵感墙是为了激励自己努力工作。故选C。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三年段中“I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me.(我选择了Vicky,她的经历一直激励着我。)”可知,作者选择联系Vicky是因为Vicky的故事一直激励着作者。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第四段中“All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.(在我的一生中,我一直认为榜样是一种单向关系:我从更强大的人那里获得力量。但情况不止于此。)”和最后一段中“We’re all here to help each other grow.(我们都是来帮助彼此成长的。)”可知,作者从小就从榜样中汲取力量,也一直认为榜样是一种单向关系,直到接触了其中一个榜样人物Vicky后才明白自己和榜样之间是互相帮助彼此成长,因此,根据文章可以得出的结论是力量是双向流动的。故选B。
C
Scientists from the University of Otago’s Christchurch Medical School have discovered a direct connection between people’s vitamin C intake and their skin’s ability to produce collagen (胶原蛋白)and renew itself. The study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, clearly shows that skin health is influenced by vitamin C from daily food, not just by topical (外用的)creams applied to the skin surface. It also found that vitamin C levels in the skin are closely related to those in the blood. Therefore, eating more foods rich in vitamin C can effectively increase vitamin C levels in both the blood and the skin.
The research included 24 healthy adults from New Zealand and Germany. Those eating two SunGold kiwifruits daily raised blood vitamin C levels and saw a clear increase in skin vitamin C. This made skin thicker — due to more collagen — and sped up outer skin renewal. Lead researcher Professor Margreet Vissers described the results as surprising and said the strong connection between skin thickness and vitamin C intake is fully believable.
She noted the connection between blood and skin vitamin C is clearer than in other organs. “We were surprised by how closely blood vitamin C levels are connected to those in the skin,” she said. The research team also discovered that vitamin C in the blood can reach all layers of the skin and help the skin work better. Though vitamin C is often added to skincare products, it is not well taken in through the outer skin. However, skin cells can take in vitamin C from the blood very well.
SunGold kiwifruits were chosen for the study because they always have a high vitamin C content. But the researchers believe other foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and berries, can bring similar benefits to the skin. It is important to keep steady vitamin C levels in the blood because the human body does not store vitamin C for a long time. Professor Vissers suggested that healthy people can reach the best blood vitamin C levels with about 250mg of vitamin C every day through their diet.
8. What affects skin health according to the study?
A. Water taken in by the skin. B. Vitamin C from food intake.
C. Collagen from skin products. D. Topical skincare creams alone.
9. What is Professor Vissers’ attitude towards the study results?
A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective.
10. Why are vitamin C-rich skincare products less effective?
A. They lack enough collagen.
B. They are not used in a proper way.
C. They don’t suit all skin types.
D. They are poorly taken in through skin.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Vitamin C Intake and Skin Health
B. Blood Vitamin C and Skin Vitamin C
C. Skincare Products and Vitamin C Intake
D. Collagen Production and Skin Thickness
【答案】8. B 9. B 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了奥塔哥大学基督城医学院的科学家发现人们摄入的维生素C与皮肤产生胶原蛋白和自我更新的能力之间存在直接联系,阐述了维生素C对皮肤健康的影响等相关研究内容。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“The study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, clearly shows that skin health is influenced by vitamin C from daily food, not just by topical (外用的)creams applied to the skin surface.(这项发表在《皮肤病学研究杂志》上的研究明确表明,皮肤健康受日常食物中维生素C的影响,而不仅仅是涂抹在皮肤表面的外用乳膏。)”可知,研究显示食物摄入的维生素C会影响皮肤健康。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Lead researcher Professor Margreet Vissers described the results as surprising and said the strong connection between skin thickness and vitamin C intake is fully believable.(首席研究员Margreet Vissers教授称这些结果令人惊讶,并表示皮肤厚度与维生素C摄入之间的密切关联完全可信。)”可知,她对研究结果持认可态度。故选B项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Though vitamin C is often added to skincare products, it is not well taken in through the outer skin.(尽管维生素C常被添加到护肤品中,但它很难通过皮肤外层被很好地吸收。)”可知,含维生素C的护肤品效果较差是因为皮肤难以吸收。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段中的“Scientists from the University of Otago’s Christchurch Medical School have discovered a direct connection between people’s vitamin C intake and their skin’s ability to produce collagen (胶原蛋白)and renew itself.(奥塔哥大学基督城医学院的科学家发现,人们摄入的维生素C与皮肤产生胶原蛋白和自我更新的能力之间存在直接联系。)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要围绕维生素C摄入与皮肤健康之间的关系展开,所以A选项“Vitamin C Intake and Skin Health(维生素C摄入与皮肤健康)”是最佳标题。故选A项。
D
A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.
The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive (草书) on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type.
“We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard,” says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. “Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding (编码) new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning.” The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper.
“We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.”
Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. “There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes.
12. What was the special cap used to do?
A. Measure the participants’ brain activity. B. Evaluate the participants’ writing styles.
C. Tell the participants when to write or type. D. Record the time the participants used to write.
13. What does paragraph 3 focus on about the study?
A. Its backgrounds. B. Its equipment.
C. Its outcomes. D. Its process.
14. What plays the key role in strengthening brain connectivity?
A. Writing letters carefully by hand. B. Forming the habit of taking notes.
C. Recognizing letters’ mirror images. D. Learning to practice cursive writing.
15. What is Audrey’s attitude towards handwritten note-taking?
A. Critical B. Tolerant C. Ambiguous D. Approving
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于手写和用键盘打字的研究,研究发现大脑的连接模式比用键盘打字时要复杂得多。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type.(学生们戴上这顶帽子,每次被要求书写或打字时,他们的大脑活动都会被记录5秒钟)”可知,这个特殊的帽子用来测量参与者的大脑活动。故选A。
【13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段““We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.”(“我们已经证明,大脑活动的差异与手写时仔细排列字母有关,同时更多地利用感官。奥黛丽补充说:“由于形成字母时手指的运动促进了大脑的连接,因此印刷体书写对学习也有类似的好处。”“这也解释了为什么学会在平板电脑上写字和读书的孩子很难区分互为镜像的字母,比如‘b’和‘d’。”他们还没有用自己的身体感受过写出这些字母的感觉。”)”可知,第三段的重点是研究结果。故选C。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing(由于形成字母时手指的运动促进了大脑的连接,因此印刷体书写对学习也有类似的好处)”可知,用手认真地写信在加强大脑连通性方面起着关键作用。故选A。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes.(奥黛丽总结道:“有证据表明,学生在手写课堂笔记时学得更多,记忆也更好,而在写长篇文章或论文时,使用带键盘的电脑可能更实用。”)”可知,奥黛丽对手写笔记是支持态度。故选D。

How to Build a Lifelong Reading Habit
In today’s fast-paced digital world, developing a lasting reading habit brings significant benefits. It expands knowledge, enhances thinking skills, and provides stress relief. ____16____ Here are practical ways to make reading a regular part of life.
Select books that genuinely interest you
The main obstacle to regular reading is choosing books that feel like obligations. ____17____ If you enjoy mysteries, pick mystery novels; if you like science, explore popular science books. Reading becomes enjoyable when you love what you read.
____18____
Many abandon reading because they set unrealistic goals like finishing a book daily. Such goals can lead to frustration and make you lose interest quickly. Instead, aim for 10 pages each morning or 20 minutes at night. Stay flexible — adjust your goal when busy rather than quitting entirely.
Create a dedicated reading space and time
Our brains naturally associate specific settings with activities. ____19____ Choose a comfortable chair or quiet corner, and pair it with a regular time — like after meals or before sleep — to make reading automatic.
Join reading communities or share progress with others
Reading needn’t be alone. ____20____ Book clubs offer supportive communities where members gain new perspectives and maintain motivation through discussion. You can also share reading experiences on social media.
Anyway, building lifelong habits takes time. It’s okay to occasionally skip reading — just return to it consistently. Over time, reading will become a natural and rewarding part of your life.
A. Set achievable targets.
B. Try audio books during commute.
C. This makes habit formation much easier.
D. Reading groups provide a supportive community for readers.
E. The secret is to find books that match your hobbies and passions.
F. A quiet and comfortable space helps you focus better on reading.
G. However, many people struggle to maintain a regular reading practice.
【答案】16. G 17. E 18. A 19. C 20. D

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。
Six-year-old Leo was born with a problem in his right leg. He needed a stick to walk. When he said he wanted to learn swimming, his whole family was surprised. “In the water, there’s no ground to stop me. I can ‘run’ like everyone else,” Leo said, holding his hands closely with strong hope in his eyes.
When Leo walked into the swimming pool for the first time, the cold water reached his stomach. Suddenly, his right leg lost control, and he started to sink (下沉). Coach Lisa quickly caught him and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. The water will hold you up.” But the training was much harder than Leo had thought. Kicking, which others learned easily, made Leo struggle a lot. His right leg just couldn’t move in the proper way. He could only swim two meters before choking (窒息) on water.
After about one month, Leo watched other kids swimming freely. He sat by the pool and wiped his tears: “I can never do this. I want to give up.” His mom sat by his side and said, “Look, Leo. At first, you couldn’t even stand in the water. But now you can swim five meters — that’s progress!” Coach Lisa also came over with a float (浮板): “Let’s try a new way. We’ ll practice using your left arm to swim first, and use a float for your right leg.”
The days of trying again were still full of challenges. One night, Leo’s right leg hurt so badly that he couldn’t fall asleep at all. The next morning, Leo refused to go to the pool, but his mother still drove him there. When Coach Lisa came to check on him, she brought along some good news. “The city’s disabled swimming competition is coming soon,” Coach Lisa said. “You’re getting faster and stronger, Leo. And I’ve signed you up for this competition.”
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。
Hearing those words, Leo felt greatly encouraged.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The competition day soon came, and Leo appeared at the starting point confidently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Hearing those words, Leo felt greatly encouraged. He forgot the pain in his right leg at once and looked at Coach Lisa with bright eyes. Every day after that, he trained harder than before. He practiced arm strokes hundreds of times until his shoulders ached, and kept trying kicking even when his leg felt weak. His mom cheered for him by the pool, and Coach Lisa always corrected his postures patiently. Leo never complained again — he knew the competition was his chance to prove he could do it. He even started to imagine himself swimming bravely in the pool, with everyone cheering for him.
The competition day soon came, and Leo appeared at the starting point confidently. He knew he was well prepared. When the gun rang, he jumped into the water and swam as hard as he could. His right leg still didn’t move as smoothly as others, but he tried his best to push forward. The cheers from his family and Coach Lisa kept him going. Finally, he touched the finish line! Though he took third place, Leo raised his head proudly with tears of joy. Holding the medal, he realized he had not only shown everyone he could swim, but also found true freedom in the water — freedom from limits,freedom to chase his dreams.

From a young age, I collected role models. In school, as a teenager, I tried to channel Whitney Houston. In the working world, I paid close attention to our female senior managers. By watching and imitating others-especially women of color who looked or sounded like me-I gained confidence in my own abilities.
But when I started my own company, my pool of role models became smaller. Only 2.1% of risk investment goes to women-founded companies. “Who can I look up to?” I wondered. “Who can I learn from?” I decided to create an inspiration wall in my office, with photos of the role models I could see-women like Oprah, Michelle Obama, and Vicky, co-founder of a skincare brand. I never thought I’d meet these women, but their success gave me hope.
Then one day, a couple of years ago, I surprised myself with a thought: what if I did reach out to one of my role models? I feared rejection, but my desire for connection was stronger. I chose Vicky, whose journey had long inspired me. I didn’t have her email address. So I tried a cold Instagram message, and she responded the next day!
That was in 2022. We’ve spoken numerous times since, and the conversations have been invaluable. They’re rare chances to gain guidance from a successful woman. But here’s the most valuable lesson I gained: when Vicky first replied to me, I wasn’t the only one excited. Vicky was excited too-because she’s always looking for ways to support other women. All my life, I’d thought of role models as a one-way relationship: I’d gain strength from someone stronger. But the situation is more than that.
I once sent Vicky a care package from my sunglasses company. She wrote me a thank-you note, and texted a selfie of her and her daughter wearing my products. Today, I keep that letter on my desk next to my keyboard—a reminder that just as I believe in her, she believes in me. We’re all here to help each other grow.
4. How did the author build up her confidence?
A. By cooperating with women of color. B. By observing and copying her models.
C. By making friends with persons like her. D. By starting her own sunglasses company.
5. What is the author’s intention of creating an inspiration wall in her office?
A. To inspire her employees’ creativity. B. To make her workplace more attractive.
C. To encourage herself to achieve success. D. To improve her employees’ work efficiency.
6. Why did the author choose to reach out to Vicky?
A. She was afraid of being rejected. B. She only had Vicky’s email address.
C. Vicky’s story had always motivated her. D. Vicky liked giving guidance to other women.
7. What can be concluded according to the text?
A. Practice makes perfect. B. Strength flows both ways.
C. A good beginning is half done. D. Actions speak louder than words.

Scientists from the University of Otago’s Christchurch Medical School have discovered a direct connection between people’s vitamin C intake and their skin’s ability to produce collagen (胶原蛋白)and renew itself. The study, published in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, clearly shows that skin health is influenced by vitamin C from daily food, not just by topical (外用的)creams applied to the skin surface. It also found that vitamin C levels in the skin are closely related to those in the blood. Therefore, eating more foods rich in vitamin C can effectively increase vitamin C levels in both the blood and the skin.
The research included 24 healthy adults from New Zealand and Germany. Those eating two SunGold kiwifruits daily raised blood vitamin C levels and saw a clear increase in skin vitamin C. This made skin thicker — due to more collagen — and sped up outer skin renewal. Lead researcher Professor Margreet Vissers described the results as surprising and said the strong connection between skin thickness and vitamin C intake is fully believable.
She noted the connection between blood and skin vitamin C is clearer than in other organs. “We were surprised by how closely blood vitamin C levels are connected to those in the skin,” she said. The research team also discovered that vitamin C in the blood can reach all layers of the skin and help the skin work better. Though vitamin C is often added to skincare products, it is not well taken in through the outer skin. However, skin cells can take in vitamin C from the blood very well.
SunGold kiwifruits were chosen for the study because they always have a high vitamin C content. But the researchers believe other foods rich in vitamin C, such as oranges and berries, can bring similar benefits to the skin. It is important to keep steady vitamin C levels in the blood because the human body does not store vitamin C for a long time. Professor Vissers suggested that healthy people can reach the best blood vitamin C levels with about 250mg of vitamin C every day through their diet.
8. What affects skin health according to the study?
A. Water taken in by the skin. B. Vitamin C from food intake.
C. Collagen from skin products. D. Topical skincare creams alone.
9. What is Professor Vissers’ attitude towards the study results?
A. Doubtful. B. Approving. C. Unconcerned. D. Objective.
10. Why are vitamin C-rich skincare products less effective?
A. They lack enough collagen.
B. They are not used in a proper way.
C. They don’t suit all skin types.
D. They are poorly taken in through skin.
11. What is the best title for the passage?
A. Vitamin C Intake and Skin Health
B. Blood Vitamin C and Skin Vitamin C
C. Skincare Products and Vitamin C Intake
D. Collagen Production and Skin Thickness

A team in Norway recently conducted in-depth research on writing by hand and typing on a keyboard.
The team invited 36 university students who had to either write or type words displayed on a screen. The study participants used a digital pen to write in cursive (草书) on a touchscreen, and they used one finger on a keyboard to type. The researchers used a special cap with 256 sensors. This cap was worn by the students, and their brain activity was recorded for five seconds each time they were asked to write or type.
“We show that when writing by hand, brain connectivity patterns are far more complex than when typewriting on a keyboard,” says Professor Audrey van der Meer, the team leader. “Such widespread brain connectivity is known to be important for memory formation and for encoding (编码) new information and, therefore, is beneficial for learning.” The researchers also note that even though the participants used digital pens for writing in the study, they believe the findings would be similar if the participants used an ink pen and paper.
“We’ve shown that the differences in brain activity are related to the careful forming of the letters when writing by hand while making more use of the senses. Since it’s the movement of the fingers carried out when forming letters that promotes brain connectivity, writing in print also has similar benefits for learning as cursive writing,” Audrey adds. “This also explains why children who have learned to write and read on a tablet can have difficulty distinguishing between letters that are mirror images of each other, such as ‘b’ and ‘d’. They haven’t felt with their bodies what it feels like to produce those letters.”
Considering handwritten note-taking is becoming less common in educational settings, the researchers advocate for more opportunities for students to write by hand. “There’s some evidence that students learn more and remember better when taking handwritten lecture notes, while using a computer with a keyboard may be more pragmatic when writing a long text or essay,” Audrey concludes.
12. What was the special cap used to do?

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。
Six-year-old Leo was born with a problem in his right leg. He needed a stick to walk. When he said he wanted to learn swimming, his whole family was surprised. “In the water, there’s no ground to stop me. I can ‘run’ like everyone else,” Leo said, holding his hands closely with strong hope in his eyes.
When Leo walked into the swimming pool for the first time, the cold water reached his stomach. Suddenly, his right leg lost control, and he started to sink (下沉). Coach Lisa quickly caught him and said softly, “Don’t be afraid. The water will hold you up.” But the training was much harder than Leo had thought. Kicking, which others learned easily, made Leo struggle a lot. His right leg just couldn’t move in the proper way. He could only swim two meters before choking (窒息) on water.
After about one month, Leo watched other kids swimming freely. He sat by the pool and wiped his tears: “I can never do this. I want to give up.” His mom sat by his side and said, “Look, Leo. At first, you couldn’t even stand in the water. But now you can swim five meters — that’s progress!” Coach Lisa also came over with a float (浮板): “Let’s try a new way. We’ ll practice using your left arm to swim first, and use a float for your right leg.”
The days of trying again were still full of challenges. One night, Leo’s right leg hurt so badly that he couldn’t fall asleep at all. The next morning, Leo refused to go to the pool, but his mother still drove him there. When Coach Lisa came to check on him, she brought along some good news. “The city’s disabled swimming competition is coming soon,” Coach Lisa said. “You’re getting faster and stronger, Leo. And I’ve signed you up for this competition.”
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。
Hearing those words, Leo felt greatly encouraged.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The competition day soon came, and Leo appeared at the starting point confidently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
