It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. (当我年轻的时候，我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特，这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇。它可能会让人觉得很小：同样的面孔出现在同样的地方，一个新的咖啡馆或画廊常常会遭到质疑。显然，人们坚持认为生活本该如此。但对于一个渴望看到更多的青少年来说，这种缺乏好奇心是令人沮丧的)”可知，作者想要离开拉姆斯盖特是因为这个地方无法满足他探索的欲望。故选D项。 25. 推理判断题。根据第二段中“But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. (但现实是残酷的。在杂志和报纸工作之前，我努力为各种日报撰稿)”和第三段中“In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. (在一顿顿分食小碟菜的聚餐间隙，我发现自己陷入了一场永无止境的激烈竞争，要更快地行动，需要赚更多的钱，只是为了跟上节奏。伦敦的房租压力很大，公寓很小，但拥有一个公寓的梦想感觉就像一个残酷的玩笑)”可知，作者在伦敦的生活充满了挑战。故选C项。 26. 推理判断题。根据第一段中“When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. (当我年轻的时候，我迫不及待地想要逃离拉姆斯盖特，这个我在萨尼特岛上长大的海港小镇)”和第四段“As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. (随着年龄的增长，回到萨尼特岛的旅行让我看清了自己留下的东西。主要是大海。宽阔的黄色沙滩，甚至空气中盐的味道，在童年时很普通，突然变得吸引人。但我也开始怀念小镇生活的节奏：向街上的人挥手，注意谁的花园杂草丛生，甚至在我曾经不屑一顾的酒吧里也能找到魅力。更重要的是，我曾经匆匆离开的地方，现在别人却急着来。艺术家、创意人士和科技人员因为伦敦的高房价而离开，纷纷涌向萨尼特岛，带来了新的想法和动力。现在，当我回到家乡时，我感到既自豪又有些惊讶：我曾经以为自己早已超越、已经不再适合的地方，却有了意想不到的改头换面)”可知，作者对Thanet的情感随着时间的推移从最初的排斥转变为后来的重新连接和热爱。故选C项。 27. 主旨大意题。通读全文，结合最后一段中“Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. (每一次到访都提醒我，地方和人一样，可以在不失去本质的情况下成长。我已经不再仅仅把萨尼特岛当作我离开的家;它现在是它继续成为的地方)”可知，文章主要讲述了作者离开家乡去伦敦打拼，历经挑战后回到家乡，重新认识并爱上家乡的故事，表达了作者对家乡和自身成长的深刻感悟。故D项“A Growing Place, a Growing Me (一个成长的地方，一个成长的我)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章标题。故选D项。 28-31 DBAB 文章大意：鸵鸟效应指人们主动回避不想知道的信息，以避免负面情绪。实验表明5-6岁儿童乐于接受任何信息，年龄较大的儿童则选择性回避。过度回避会损害健康、加剧社会分裂。 28. D. A student refusing to check his test scores. 解析：鸵鸟效应是主动回避可能带来负面情绪的信息，拒绝查看考试成绩符合这一定义。 29. B. To avoid psychological pain. 解析：第三段说“By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves... from negative emotions”。 30. A. deepen 解析：第四段“avoidance may entrench political divides”，回避可能加深政治分歧，entrench意为“使根深蒂固、加深”。 31. B. The Ostrich Effect: Why We Avoid Facts. 解析：全文围绕鸵鸟效应展开，解释其发生原因及后果，B项最贴切。 32-33 DCAC 32 D 原文第 2 段明确提到："This special design cuts the device's weight by about 80% and its cost by nearly half"，直接对应选项 D “显著降低了重量和成本”。A 选项错误，它并未使用金属电极；B 选项错误，文中并未说电压比传统发电机更高；C 选项错误，它的工作环境是水域，不是沙漠。 33 C 第 3 段前半部分讲了雨滴如何通过冲击、离子运动发电（工作原理），后半部分介绍了智能排水孔、耐温耐盐、适应恶劣环境等优势，因此核心是工作原理与优势，对应选项 C。 34 A 第 4 段提到这个模型 “可以同时为 50 个 LED 灯供电，并在几分钟内为小型电池充电”，直观体现了它强大的供电能力，对应选项 A。 35 C 作者在最后一段既提到了它的优势和意义，也指出了 “仍存在挑战，需要更多测试”，整体是谨慎乐观的态度，对应选项 C。A 选项与原文不符；B 选项错误，作者讨论了技术细节；D 选项过于绝对，文中并未提及 “取代其他能源”。 第二节（共 5 个小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分） 36-40 GFAEB 本文是一篇生活指南类说明文。文章介绍了在高温天气下保持凉爽的多种实用方法，包括补充水分、选择合适衣物、遮挡窗户、使用喷雾降温等，并引用专家观点解释这些方法背后的科学原理。 36. G 上文提到“也许你是那种当别人都抱怨冷时却脱下毛衣的人”，描述了一种对温度感知与众不同的人群。空后指出“关键在于，没有一个能让所有人都感到舒适的确切温度”。G项“Or maybe you’re the person who’s putting on a sweater when others say it’s too hot.（或者你可能是那个别人说太热时却在穿毛衣的人）”与上文形成并列对照，描述了另一种类型的人群，共同引出“每个人对温度的舒适感不同”这一核心观点。故选G。 37. F 上文引用专家观点指出“人们开始感到不适的温度实际上是因人而异、变化多端的”。空后提到“它还取决于湿度和气流等因素”，并使用“also”表示并列。F项“In fact, our perception of heat and cold doesn’t just depend on the temperature.（事实上，我们对冷热的感知并不仅仅取决于温度）”中的“doesn’t just depend on”与后文“also relies on”形成完美呼应，先指出不仅取决于温度，再补充还取决于其他因素，逻辑连贯。故选F。 38. A 空处位于第三段段首，是该段主题句。空后内容围绕出汗调节体温以及饮用凉水或电解质饮料展开。A项“Drink plenty of water.”（多喝水）准确概括了本段的核心建议，作为主题句引出后文关于补水的具体说明，逻辑清晰。故选A。 39. E 上文建议选择浅色、轻薄、宽松的衣物，并解释宽松衣物有助于空气流通。空处需要在此基础上补充其他衣物选择。E项“But workout clothing made from new fabrics is also a good choice.（但由新型面料制成的运动服也是不错的选择）”中的“also”表示补充，“but”则形成轻微转折，说明除了传统宽松衣物外，现代运动面料也是好选择，逻辑合理。故选E. 40. B 上文介绍了用喷雾瓶喷冷水并配合风扇散热的方法，这是一种局部、表面的降温方式。下文引用专家观点“你冷却的身体表面积越大，效果越好”，强调了大面积降温的重要性。B项“If you are really hot, take a cold bath or shower.（如果你真的很热，洗个冷水澡或淋浴）”提出的全身浸泡或淋浴方式能够覆盖几乎全部体表面积，是对上文喷雾降温的递进和补充——当简单方法不够用时，可以采用更彻底的全身降温，与后文“更大体表面积”的逻辑完美契合。故选B。 第三部分 语言运用 第一节：完形填空（共 15 个小题；每小题 1 分，满分 15 分） 41. B    42. A    43. C    44. D    45. A    46. D    47. B    48. C    49. D    50. B    51. A 52. B    53. D    54. C    55. C 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者在母亲被诊断出癌症后，从最初的震惊、逃避，到逐渐接受现实、寻求朋友支持，再到最终积极面对、寻找生活乐趣的心路历程。 41. 考查动词词义辨析。句意：白天我忙于各种事情，晚上则靠看电视来麻痹自己的思绪。A. occupy占据；B. numb使麻木；C. refresh使恢复精力；D. engage参与。根据上文“I attempted to escape it”和下文“my mind at night”可知，作者想要逃避，所以晚上通过看电视来麻痹自己的思绪，故选B。 42. 考查副词词义辨析。句意：然而，逃避并没有提供庇护。A.

Possible version: As for the elective courses to be offered in our school, I strongly believe they should be designed mainly according to students’ interests. Compared with required subjects, elective courses are meant to broaden students’ horizons rather than simply improve test scores. When allowed to choose courses they are truly interested in, students are more likely to learn actively instead of passively completing tasks. This not only increases learning efficiency but brings out their strengths and talents. What’s more, interest-oriented courses can reduce study pressure and provide students with opportunities to relax and think creatively, which is especially important in a highly competitive learning environment. Therefore, focusing on students’ interests will better serve the purpose of elective courses and contribute to students’ all-round development. 第二节：读后续写（满分 25 分） 67.读后续写范文 Then I saw Ryan running towards me. Suddenly the scene struck me where he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily. I thought this would be his chance to return the favor. I lowered my head, my face burning with embarrassment. But unexpectedly Ryan didn't laugh. Instead, he approached me from behind, took off his jacket swiftly and offered it to me, signaling to me to cover my torn jeans. Without any delay, I did it. Struggling against my tears, l did want to express my gratitude to him but courage failed me. In total silence, I left the courtyard. That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. I thanked him, giving the jacket back to him and telling him the cheer went great. Then gathering my courage, I sincerely apologized to him for my misconduct on the bus and thanked him again for his helping me out of the desperate situation. Ryan, with a broad smile, patted me on the shoulder and told me to forget about that, joking he fell like that a lot. Hearing that, I was amused and convinced that he was someone I would be friends with. Honestly, Monday was a great day indeed! 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者经历的一个充满波折但最终收获友谊的周一。早上作者乘校车上学途中目睹了同学Ryan绊倒的尴尬一幕。午餐后，作者与拉拉队队员相聚，并在餐后练习足球赛加油口号。然而，在练习过程中，作者的牛仔裤意外撕裂，引来同学们的嘲笑，让作者感到尴尬和无助。Ryan主动上前，脱下自己的夹克给作者遮挡裂开的牛仔裤，展现了宽容与友善。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①.由第一段的首句内容“然后我看到Ryan朝我跑来。”可知，第一段可描写Ryan对作者意外情况的善意反应。作者原本以为Ryan会借此机会“回报”自己之前的嘲笑，感到尴尬和羞愧。然而，Ryan并没有嘲笑作者，反而迅速脱下自己的夹克给作者遮挡裂开的牛仔裤，展现出意想不到的宽容和友善。作者虽然内心感激，却因害羞而难以表达，最终默默离开了操场。 ②.由第二段的首句内容“那天晚上，在足球比赛的加油口号结束后，我找到了Ryan。”可知，第二段可描写作者对Ryan行为的感激与道歉。作者找到Ryan，归还夹克并表达感谢，同时鼓起勇气为之前在校车上的不当行为向Ryan道歉。Ryan 则以宽容的态度接受了作者的道歉，并用幽默的话语化解了尴尬，这让作者更加确信Ryan是一个值得交往的朋友。最后，作者总结说，尽管周一经历了波折，但总体上仍然是一个美好的一天。 2.续写线索： Ryan 跑向我——以为他会报复——Ryan给我夹克遮破掉的裤子——我感激却不敢表达，默默离开——赛后我找到Ryan还夹克并道谢——我道歉并再次感谢，总结周一很棒 3.词汇激活： 行为类 ①.跑：run/jog/sprint ②.低下：lower/drop/bend ③.离开：leave/depart/exit 情绪类 ①.疯狂的：crazily/insanely/madly ②.尴尬的：embarrassed/ashamed/humiliated 【点睛】【高分句型1】Suddenlythescene struck mewhere he fell flat and I laughed at him crazily.

B When I was younger, I couldn’t wait to escape from Ramsgate, the harbor town where I grew up on the Isle of Thanet. It could feel small: the same faces in the same places, and where a new café or gallery was often met with doubt. There was this apparent insistence that life was fine as it was. But for a teenager itching to see more, that lack of curiosity was disheartening. So I left. I headed north for a four-year academic journey from York to Durham. After university, having played at newspapers, I made the move to London to do it for real. But the reality was tough. I struggled to contribute to various dailies before periods on staff at both magazines and newspapers. In my twenties, I threw myself into city life: sampling Mediterranean restaurants, navigating around on the Tube, and staying out late with friends. For a while, it was enough. Then it became too much. In and among the sharing plates, I found myself on an unending rat race of moving faster and needing to earn more — just to keep up. Rents in London were pressing, apartments were tiny, yet the dream of owning one felt like a cruel joke. As I got older, trips back to Thanet opened my eyes to what I had left behind. Mainly, it was the sea. Wide yellow sands and even the touch of salt in the air, ordinary in childhood, suddenly felt appealing. But I also started to miss the beat of small-town life: waving to people on the street, noticing whose garden was overgrown, finding charm even in the pubs I had once dismissed. What’s more, where I’d once hurried to leave, others are now rushing to arrive. Artists, creatives, and technologists have been priced out of London and are pouring to Thanet, bringing new ideas and drive. Now, when I head back home, I feel a mixture of pride and mild wonder: the place I once thought I’d outgrown has had a facelift I wasn’t expecting. I’ll keep returning to Thanet, with eager willingness. Each visit reminds me that places, like people, can grow without losing their essence. I’ve come to love Thanet as more than just the home I left; it is now the place it continues to become. 24. Why did the author want to leave Ramsgate? A. It offered few job opportunities. B. It lacked modern entertainment. C. It stuck to values he disagreed with. D. It failed to satisfy his desire to explore. 25. Which of the following best summarizes the author’s life in London? A. Rich in possibilities. B. Socially diverse. C. Filled with challenges. D. Financially stressful. 26. What can we learn about the author’s bond with Thanet over time? A. It remains stable and strong. B. It is influenced by public opinions. C. It shifts from rejection to reconnection. D. It is shaped by his childhood experience. 27. What can be a suitable title for the text? A. The Sea in Memory B. Four Years Up North C. The Hometown Out of Reach D. A Growing Place, a Growing Me C It might seem strange that in an information-rich world, people often try their best to avoid finding out about certain things. Whether it's skipping a follow-up doctor's appointment or refusing to read an unsettling news article, this tendency has a name: "the Ostrich (鸵鸟) Effect" just like the bird supposedly burying its head in the sand. Researchers at the University of Chicago set out to understand when and why this occurs. In one experiment, children aged from 5 to 10 were asked to imagine their favorite and least favorite candy. Then came the choice: Would they like to watch a video about why eating that candy was bad for their teeth? Children at the age of 5 or 6 wanted to know-good or bad, the information itself was exciting. Older children, however, hesitated. They were much less interested in hearing about the downsides of their favorite treat, though they had no problem learning why their least favorite candy was bad. So why do children transform from fearless learners into strategic avoiders? The answer lies in emotions. Information is not neutral (中立的)-it often carries consequences for how we feel. News about our health, abilities, or beliefs can trigger disappointment, anxiety, or shame. By avoiding knowledge, people protect themselves, at least in the short term, from negative emotions. Saving ourselves from pain can be protective, yet when avoidance becomes habitual, the costs can outweigh the benefits. At a personal level, refusing to learn important medical information can endanger health. At a societal level, avoidance may entrench political divides or stubborn mindsets. When people deliberately tune out perspectives that challenge their worldview, they lose opportunities for growth, understanding, and connection. At its core, the Ostrich Effect reveals something deeply human. We are curious creatures, but also fragile ones. We want to know, yet we fear what knowing might mean. This push and pull shapes our decisions every day. This is why researchers stress the importance of teaching children not only to embrace curiosity, but also to develop resilience (韧性) and always grab the chance to learn, adapt, and succeed. 28. Which of the following shows the "Ostrich Effect"? A. A patient checking drug side effects. B. A player blaming others for his failure. C. A runner dropping out of a fierce race. D. A student refusing to check his test scores. 29. Why does the "Ostrich Effect" occur? A. To build up self-confidence. B. To avoid psychological pain. C. To screen useless information. D. To develop independent thinking. 30. What does the underlined word "entrench" in paragraph 4 mean? A. deepen B. create C. remove D. settle 31. Which of the following is the best title for the text? A. Information Explosion: A Modern Crisis B. The Ostrich Effect: Why We Avoid Facts C. Emotions: The Key to Strategic Learning D. The Ostrich Effect: Comfort Comes First D Scientists have long explored to turn the mechanical energy of raindrops into electricity. However, traditional droplet (液滴) generators have problems like being heavy, expensive, and hard to make in large sizes. A team from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics has created a new floating droplet electricity generator. It uses water in its structure, making it lighter, cheaper and more eco-friendly. Unlike most existing generators that use solid platforms and metal electrodes (电极), the new device floats on water. Water here works both as a support and a conductive electrode. This special design cuts the device's weight by about 80% and its cost by nearly half, while it still produces as much electricity as traditional systems. When a raindrop hits the floating layer of the generator, the water below takes in the impact and helps the drop spread out. At the same time, ions (离子) in the water carry electric charges. Together, these things let the generator make about 250 volts of electricity from one raindrop. The generator also has smart drainage holes. These holes use water's surface tension to remove extra water without letting it flow back, so the generator works stably. It can also work well in different temperatures and salt levels, even in natural lake water. Its special structure makes it strong enough for bad environments. Another advantage of this new technology is its capacity for large-scale production. Researchers built a 0.3-square-meter model, which is much bigger than earlier ones. It can power 50 LEDs at the same time and charge small batteries in minutes. This means it could be used to power small electronic devices and sensors on lakes or near the sea, without taking up any land. Professor Wanlin Guo, who led the study, said this "nature-integrated" design is a big step for cheap and light hydropower systems. These systems can work with solar and wind power. Besides making electricity, the technology can also help monitor water environments, like powering sensors that check water quality. Of course, there are still challenges. For example, raindrops fall unevenly, and the generator's long-term outdoor use needs more testing. But this floating generator is still an important progress for practical hydropower use. 32. What is the main advantage of the floating generator over traditional ones? A. It uses eco-friendly metal electrodes. B. It produces higher voltage per raindrop. C. It works efficiently in desert environments. D. It reduces weight and cost significantly. 33. What's Paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The materials used to make the new generator. B. The working environment of the new generator. C. The working principle and strengths of the new generator. D. The differences between the new generator and traditional ones. 34. The 0.3-square-meter model in Para 4 demonstrates ______. A. the generator's powerful capacity. B. the larger size of traditional versions. C. the reliability of outdoor operations. D. the ability to monitor the water quality. 35. What is the author's attitude toward the new generator? A. Doubtful about its practical value. B. Unconcerned about its technical details. C. Cautiously optimistic about its future use. D. Confident that it will replace other energy sources. 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。 Beat the heat — How to stay cool when temperatures soar Maybe you’re one of those people who peel off a sweater when everyone else is complaining that it’s chilly. 36 The point is, there’s no single temperature that can be pinpointed (明确指出) as comfortable for everyone. “What temperature people start to become uncomfortable at is really individual and variable,” says S. Tony Wolf, PhD, assistant professor at the University of Georgia. 37 It also relies on things like humidity and air flow. Plus, combinations of factors unique to individuals — age, gender, body mass, medical conditions and medications — affect how we experience temperature. And fortunately, there are many things we can do to stay comfortable in spite of the heat. 38 “Sweating is how we regulate heat,” says Robert Kenefick, PhD, professor at the University of Massachusetts. “Drinking plain, cool water or fluids with electrolytes (like sports drinks) helps.” Choose clothing that’s right — light fabrics, light colors — and loose. Loose clothing allows for better airflow and helps keep you cool. 39 Keep windows covered with shades, blinds or curtains. Think of how a car with closed windows heats up when left sitting in sunlight — it’s called the greenhouse effect. The same thing can happen at home if uncovered windows trap sunlight and heat inside. Keep a spray bottle handy. Spraying yourself with cool or cold water and then sitting or standing near a fan can help your body evaporate (蒸发) sweat and dissipate (消散) heat through your skin. 40 “The more of your body surface areas that you cool, the better off you’re going to be,” says Wolf. A. Drink plenty of water. B. If you are really hot, take a cold bath or shower. C. Use fans to keep the air constantly flowing indoors. D. Go out earlier in the day when it’s cooler or later at night. E. But workout clothing made from new fabrics is also a good choice. F. In fact, our perception of heat and cold doesn’t just depend on the temperature. G. Or maybe you’re the person who’s putting on a sweater when others say it’s too hot. 第三部分 语言运用(共三节，满分30分) 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 “It’s cancer.” I’ll never forget the day my mom said those words to me last year.

By posting photos of a homemade meal or a morning coffee with this caption, they transform small, daily acts 57 a shared ritual of self-kindness. Praised as one of the kindest trends, its resonance runs deep. The key lies in calling oneself “Old Self”, 58 friendly nickname that allows one to step back and speak to oneself with the kindness usually reserved for a close friend. This trend’s 59 (popular) is no accident, as today’s youth navigate overwhelming pressure, including the 60 (end) cycle of exams and fierce competition for university places and jobs. For instance, a Beijing high school student writes “Love You, Old Self” in her notebook to calm herself after a tough exam. Within this context, 61 (turn) to this gentle self-compassion has become a vital way to cope. Crucially, this practice is far from an excuse to shy away from challenges 62 a solid foundation for building greater resilience. To “Love You, Old Self” is to acknowledge one’s own efforts, to permit necessary rest, and thus 63 (find) a sustainable balance. It is a low-cost but powerful tool for emotional stability. And young people have realized 64 they truly need is internal self-compassion rather than external validation. Ultimately, this gentle, steady power fosters inner peace and affirms a profound truth 65 genuine care for others begins with compassion for oneself. 第四部分 写作（共两节，满分40分） 第一节 （满分15分） 假定你是李华，你校英语报正就 “选修课应是基于学科发展还是兴趣爱好？” 这一话题征集稿件。请你写一篇短文投稿，内容包括： (1) 你的观点；(2) 说明理由。 注意：(1) 写作词数应为 80 左右；(2) 请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。 Elective Courses: Subject-based or Interest-oriented? 第二节 （满分25分） 67. 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。 A Great Monday Monday started out well. I woke up on time, ate breakfast and did some last-minute studying for my first hour math test. I was confident of getting good grades. Then I left my house. Ten minutes later, I got on school bus with my friends. We were busy chatting about how we spent our weekend. At one stop, Fat Ryan got on hurriedly. He tripped over someone’s foot accidentally and THUMP! He fell down onto the floor. Every one of us on the bus looked on and laughed crazily. Ryan struggled to his feet, dusted (擦灰) off his jacket and made his way to an empty seat. He tried to laugh with us, but his face was burning with embarrassment. The rest of the morning flew by. I did well in my math test. I read two more chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird in English class. It wasn’t long before we heard the lunch bell. I met my friends from the cheerleading team in the dining hall. Then I couldn’t help but notice Ryan a few tables away, sitting all alone. He caught me looking. I smiled at him quickly and looked away. When we had finished eating, we went out to the courtyard to practice a cheer we would do at that night’s football game. After much practice, we finally managed to do the cheer perfectly. We decided to practice it again one last time. Again, just like the rest of my day so far, the cheer was going great. I raised my leg for one last toe (脚趾) touch. RIIPPP! I felt my jeans broken, in the middle of my backside (臀部). I froze. I had no idea what to do but stand still. Then I heard people burst out laughing and I saw them pointing at my torn jeans. Trying to cover myself with my hands, I tried to laugh too, but I felt tears begin to well up in my eyes. 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。 Then I saw Ryan running towards me. ________________________________________________ That night, after the cheer at the football game, I found Ryan. _____________________________ 2025-2026学年第二学期高二期中考试·英语试卷·共8页·第8页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
