Every Saturday morning, I wake up early before my alarm rings. The house is quiet, and my husband is still asleep. I make a cup of coffee and sit in my favorite chair with my phone. It is time to call my parents in Beijing.
Sometimes we talk through video, and sometimes it is only a voice call. I have kept this routine for 18 years while living in Canada, France, and now the US. Many things have changed over the years — where I live and how we communicate — but the reason for the call has stayed the same: I need to know they are okay.
Our conversations are usually about ordinary things. We talk about the weather, the news, their blood pressure, and the food they have eaten. They tell me about relatives, neighbors, and daily life. I share stories about my work, my trips, and the books I have read. The talks may seem simple, but they mean a lot to all of us.
I call my parents separately, and the conversations are different. My father likes to think deeply and often gives gentle advice. He is also interested in new technology such as smart watches and AI tools. My mother, on the other hand, is always concerned about me. She asks whether I am eating well or getting enough sleep. When I ask about her health, she always says everything is fine, even when my father has told me something different.
Over time, I have learned to listen carefully not only to their words but also to their voices. A small pause or a change in tone can reveal feelings they do not say directly.
I return to Beijing once a year to see them. The joy of meeting them is great, but saying goodbye is always difficult. As my parents grow older, I sometimes feel sad that I cannot help them in person. Anyway, though these weekly calls cannot remove the distance, they help keep our family closely connected, one ordinary conversation at a time.
4. What can we infer about the writer’s weekly calls?
A. They are a long-time habit. B. The reasons for them are various.
C. They are often short and formal. D. They started after moving abroad.
5. Why does the writer keep calling her parents every week?
A. To ask for life advice. B. To check they are well.
C. To avoid feeling lonely. D. To solve family problems.
6. What does the writer learn from listening carefully to her parents?
A. Their daily schedules. B. Their hidden feelings.
C. Their plans for the future. D. Their opinions on family life.
7. What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph?
A. Time together is very short. B. Visits matter more than calls.
C. Distance weakens family love. D. Ordinary chats deepen family ties.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. B 7. D
【解析】
【导语】作者常年身在海外,坚持每周定时给远在北京的父母打电话,用平凡通话跨越距离,维系温暖深厚的亲情。
【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“I have kept this routine for 18 years while living in Canada, France, and now the US.(我在加拿大、法国以及现在的美国生活期间,已经坚持这个习惯18年了)”可知,每周打电话是作者坚持了很久的固定习惯。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“but the reason for the call has stayed the same: I need to know they are okay.(但打电话的原因从未改变:我想确认他们一切安好)”可知,作者每周坚持打电话,是为了确认父母身体健康、一切安好。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中的“I have learned to listen carefully not only to their words but also to their voices. A small pause or a change in tone can reveal feelings they do not say directly.(我学会了仔细倾听他们的话语和语气,短暂停顿、语气变化都能透露出他们没有直说的情绪)”可知,作者用心倾听,能读懂父母隐藏在话语背后的真实情绪。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Anyway, though these weekly calls cannot remove the distance, they help keep our family closely connected, one ordinary conversation at a time.(尽管每周通话无法消除距离,但一次次平凡的闲聊,让一家人紧紧相连、亲情不减)”可知,最后一段主要说明日常普通通话,能够加深亲情、维系家庭联结。

Tea has always brought comfort to people on Earth. Now, scientists are asking a new question: Could we grow tea on the Moon? A recent study by the University of Kent suggests that tea plants might actually survive in lunar soil. This offers hope for future astronauts who will live and work on the Moon.
Working with tea experts and space groups, researchers planted young tea bushes in soil made to look like the Moon’s surface. They carefully controlled light, temperature, and water. Another group of plants grew in normal Earth soil for comparison. Surprisingly, after several weeks, the tea plants in the “moon soil” grew just as well as those on Earth. However, plants in soil made to look like Mars did not grow at all. Students measured root length, leaf health, and soil conditions, suggesting that lunar ground may be less hostile than expected.
The idea began when a space scientist heard about farming research. He worked with tea farmers to provide plants for the test. While the main goal is to help space travel, the findings could also help farmers on Earth. Many places today face poor soil because of climate change and over-farming. Learning how plants survive in hard, low-nutrient conditions might lead to new ways to protect crops here at home.
Professor Nigel Mason explained that as humans plan to build bases on the Moon, knowing what people can eat is very important. Growing tea in lunar greenhouses could give settlers fresh food and a taste of home.
He added that the team’s next step is to learn exactly how the plants manage to grow in these extreme conditions. This knowledge could then be used to help other crops grow, both in space and back on our planet. It seems that the idea of a quiet tea break could one day be a small but important part of life on the moon.
8. What did the study by the University of Kent find?
A. Tea plants grew better in moon soil. B. Tea plants cannot grow in moon soil.
C. Mars soil is better for growing plants. D. Moon soil can support tea plant growth.
9. What does the underlined word “hostile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unfavorable for growth. B. Similar to the soil on Mars.
C. Full of enemies and attacks. D. Angry and ready to fight back.
10. What is the main purpose of growing tea in moon-like soil?
A. To test if tea tastes better in space. B. To compare with plants in Mars soil.
C. To help future astronauts live on the moon. D. To find new ways to grow tea plants on Earth.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Astronauts prefer tea to other drinks in space.
B. Growing food on the moon is still impossible.
C. Tea breaks will soon be common on the moon.
D. Scientists will study how plants survive in tough soil.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文介绍肯特大学研究发现茶树或许能在模拟的月球土壤中生长,这为未来宇航员月球生存及地球农业带来新希望。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“A recent study by the University of Kent suggests that tea plants might actually survive in lunar soil.(肯特大学最近的一项研究表明,茶树或许真的能在月球土壤中存活下来)”可知,研究发现月球土壤可以支持茶树生长。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Surprisingly, after several weeks, the tea plants in the “moon soil” grew just as well as those on Earth. However, plants in soil made to look like Mars did not grow at all.(令人惊讶的是,几周后,“月壤”中的茶树生长状况与地球上的茶树一样好。然而,模拟火星土壤中的植物却根本没长。)”可知,茶树在模拟月球土壤中生长状况和在土壤中生长一样良好,而在火星土壤中完全无法生长,“Students measured root length, leaf health, and soil conditions, suggesting that lunar ground may be less hostile than expected.(学生们测量了根系长度、叶片健康状况和土壤状况,表明月球表面可能没有预期的那么hostile。)”是指学生对植株和土壤的测量表明月壤不像人们之前所预想的那样不利于植物生长,“hostile”意思是“不利的、恶劣的”。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“While the main goal is to help space travel, the findings could also help farmers on Earth.(虽然这项研究的主要目的是促进太空探索,但其发现也可能对地球上的农民有所帮助)”可知,其目的是帮助未来的宇航员在月球上生活。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“He added that the team’s next step is to learn exactly how the plants manage to grow in these extreme conditions.(他补充道,该团队接下来要做的就是深入了解这些植物是如何在如此恶劣的环境中茁壮成长的)”可知,科学家们将继续研究植物如何在恶劣土壤中生存。

China’s annual Spring Festival Gala is as popular as the US Super Bowl. This year, it surprised people around the world. During the Lunar New Year show, human-like robots performed difficult martial arts (武术) moves. The stunts were so amazing that some viewers online asked if the video was real. However, major news groups have confirmed that it was not fake (假的).
Four Chinese robot companies — Unitree, Galbot, Noetix, and MagicLab — showed their latest technology. In one act, more than ten Unitree robots worked with child actors. They did flips, fight scenes, and waved swords and sticks skillfully. Just a year ago, these robots could only do simple dances. Now, their fast progress shows what people call “China speed.” Other robots joined humans in a funny sketch or danced together to music.
Experts say this success comes from better computer programs. These programs act like a robot “brain” to control movement. This quick growth is part of China’s plan to lead in robotics. Last year, China made 90% of all human-like robots sold worldwide. Sales are expected to double again in 2026. Even Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, admits that Chinese companies are his biggest competitors.
However, the rise of robots also brings important questions. Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan, an AI expert, warns that robots could change our jobs, armies, and personal lives. He asks whether we truly want robots to become our coworkers, soldiers, or even friends. While some people joke about stopping robots with chat programs, others worry about the future of human work.
The show proves that technology is moving fast. As robots become more common, society must decide how to use them wisely. The goal should be to build a future where technology helps humans live better, rather than replacing them. After all, feeling safe and connected matters most.
12. What surprised people during this year’s Spring Festival Gala?
A. The robots danced with children. B. The robots performed martial arts.
C. The robots sang songs with pop stars. D. The show was confirmed to be a fake video.
13. What does “China speed” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Fast economic growth in China. B. Quick changes in Chinese culture.
C. Rapid progress in robot technology. D. The speed of Chinese high-speed trains.
14. What does Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan worry about?
A. Robots cannot be controlled. B. Robots will become too smart.
C. Robots may replace human jobs. D. Robots will become too expensive.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kung fu Robots Shock the World B. The Secret Behind Human-like Robots
C. The Future of Human-Robot Friendship D. Robots Take Over the Spring Festival Gala
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A

第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humans may have begun taming(驯养) animals and growing small crops as early as 10,000 years ago. However, many early people were nomads who moved from place to place. ____16____ They hunted, fished, and gathered nuts, berries, and roots. Life was hard and uncertain.
Over time, people began to keep animals in herds. ____17____ They built homes and started farming the land around them. Growing crops provided a more reliable food supply than hunting and gathering. As a result, small settlements grew into villages, towns, and eventually cities.
Farmers also discovered that planting certain crops together was helpful. Native Americans, for example, planted beans, corn, and squash together. ____18____ People also realized that rotating crops — changing what is grown on the same land each year — helps keep the soil healthy. Sometimes, farmers leave fields empty for a while to give the land a rest.
The Industrial Revolution, about 200 years ago, brought major changes to farming. Before this, people used hand tools and animals to farm. ____19____ Because fewer workers were needed on farms, many people moved to cities to find jobs.
____20____ In the mid-1900s, scientists developed new types of wheat and rice that produced much more food. This was called the Green Revolution. Today, much of our food is grown on large farms, often owned by big companies. These farms use irrigation and chemicals to increase production. However, since the early 2000s, organic farming has become more popular.
A. Modern farming continues to change.
B. New machines made farming easier and faster.
C. They found their food in the wild as they traveled.
D. This led them to stay in one place for longer periods.
E. However, early farming methods often destroyed the soil very quickly.
F. Farmers often shared tools and seeds with their neighbors in early villages.
G. This method brought them better results than growing each crop separately.
【答案】16. C 17. D 18. G 19. B 20. A
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍了人类农业从早期游牧采摘、定居驯养耕种,到合理轮作养护土地,再到工业革命机械化发展、绿色革命增产以及现代有机农业兴起的完整发展历程。
【16题详解】
根据前文“However, many early people were nomads who moved from place to place.(然而,许多早期人类是四处迁徙的游牧民族。)” 以及后文“They hunted, fished, and gathered nuts, berries, and roots.(他们狩猎、捕鱼,采集坚果、浆果和根茎。)” 可知,空前提到早期人类是不断迁徙的游牧者,空后一句说明他们通过狩猎、捕鱼和采集获取食物。因此空格处需要承接游牧生活的觅食方式;选项C“They found their food in the wild as they traveled.(他们在迁徙途中从野外获取食物。)”贴合上下文语境,衔接自然。
【17题详解】
根据前文“Over time, people began to keep animals in herds.(久而久之,人们开始成群饲养牲畜。)” 以及后文 “They built homes and started farming the land around them.(他们建造房屋,开始耕种周边的土地。)”可知,饲养牲畜让人们不再频繁迁徙,进而选择定居;选项D“This led them to stay in one place for longer periods.(这使得他们能够长时间停留在同一个地方。)” 符合前后因果逻辑。
【18题详解】
根据前文“Native Americans, for example, planted beans, corn, and squash together.(例如,美洲原住民会将豆类、玉米和南瓜混合种植。)”可知,前文提到美洲原住民把豆类、玉米和南瓜一起种植,选项G“This method brought them better results than growing each crop separately.(这种种植方式比单独种植每种作物的效果更好。)”承接前文例子,说明混合种植这种做法的效果或好处,逻辑通顺。
【19题详解】
根据前文“Before this, people used hand tools and animals to farm.(在此之前,人们依靠手工工具和牲畜耕种。)”以及后文“Because fewer workers were needed on farms, many people moved to cities to find jobs.(农场不再需要大量劳动力,许多人前往城市谋生。)”可知,前一句说明以前使用手工工具和动物耕作,空后说明对劳动力的需求减少;故空处应说明工业革命带来的变革,导致对劳动力需求减少的原因,选项B“New machines made farming easier and faster.(新式机器让农耕变得更加简便高效。)”对应工业革命带来的农业变化。
【20题详解】
根据后文“In the mid-1900s, scientists developed new types of wheat and rice that produced much more food.(20 世纪中期,科学家培育出高产的新型小麦和水稻。)”以及“These farms use irrigation and chemicals to increase production. However, since the early 2000s, organic farming has become more popular.(这类农场利用灌溉技术与化学药剂来提高产量。然而,自21世纪初以来,有机农业变得愈发普及。)”可知,本段讲述现代农业的不断发展变化;选项A“Modern farming continues to change.(现代农业仍在不断发展变革。)”作为段首总起句,统领全段内容。

【答案】Dear Noah,
I’m so glad to hear from you. You asked about my after-school life, and I’d like to share a special experience I had last weekend.
Last Saturday, our class organized a volunteer activity at a local nursing home. Upon arrival, we were divided into groups. Some cleaned the windows and swept the yard, while others, including me, chatted with the elderly and taught them how to use smartphones to video call their families. We also put on a small singing performance for them. The room was filled with laughter and warmth.
Personally, I felt extremely fulfilled. Not only did I learn the importance of caring for others, but I also realized that a small act of kindness can bring great joy. It was tiring but truly worthwhile.

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。
Today was the big day-the final of our school’s talent show. The school hall was full of excitement. Students gathered around the stage, talking and laughing. Bright lights shone above, and music played softly in the background. Everyone was looking forward to the performances.
I was standing behind the stage, waiting for my turn. My act was a piano performance. Although I had practiced for several weeks, I still felt very nervous.
My best friend Kevin noticed my worried face. “Relax,” he said with a smile. “You’ve practiced so much. Just enjoy the music.” I tried to smile back, but my heart was beating quickly. I kept thinking about what might go wrong. What if I forgot the notes? What if I played badly?
Soon the show began. One by one, the contestants gave wonderful performances. A group of dancers performed an energetic dance. Then a boy showed several amazing magic tricks that surprised everyone. The audience cheered loudly after each act.
Listening to the applause made me even more nervous. Finally, a teacher walked onto the stage and announced my name.
My legs suddenly felt heavy as I walked toward the piano. The bright lights made it hard to see the audience clearly. I sat down and placed my fingers on the keys. For a moment, the hall became very quiet.
I took a deep breath and began to play. At first, my fingers trembled slightly. But slowly, the music began to flow. The familiar melody helped me relax, and my hands moved more smoothly. Everything seemed to be going well. However, when I reached the middle part of the piece, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, my mind went blank. I couldn’t remember the next notes.
The music stopped. The whole hall became silent. I sat there, staring at the piano keys, not knowing what to do.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;

Just then, I noticed Kevin in the audience.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version:
Just then, I noticed Kevin in the audience. He was standing up, looking straight at me with a warm and encouraging smile. He didn’t say a word, but he gently tapped his chest and then pointed to my heart, as if telling me, “Believe in yourself.” His quiet support gave me sudden courage. I closed my eyes for a second, took a deep breath, and suddenly remembered the rhythm of the music. The music returned, soft at first, then growing stronger and more confident. When I played the final note, the hall erupted into loud cheers. I stood up, bowed to the audience, and felt a great sense of relief.
After all the performances ended, the results were announced. I didn’t win first prize. Although I felt a little disappointed at first, Kevin hugged me and said, “You were amazing up there! Everyone loved your performance.” Looking at the happy faces in the crowd and seeing my friends clap for me, I realized something important. Winning was not everything. The true reward was overcoming my fear and sharing my music with others. That night, I walked home with a light heart, proud of what I had achieved.

Every Saturday morning, I wake up early before my alarm rings. The house is quiet, and my husband is still asleep. I make a cup of coffee and sit in my favorite chair with my phone. It is time to call my parents in Beijing.
Sometimes we talk through video, and sometimes it is only a voice call. I have kept this routine for 18 years while living in Canada, France, and now the US. Many things have changed over the years — where I live and how we communicate — but the reason for the call has stayed the same: I need to know they are okay.
Our conversations are usually about ordinary things. We talk about the weather, the news, their blood pressure, and the food they have eaten. They tell me about relatives, neighbors, and daily life. I share stories about my work, my trips, and the books I have read. The talks may seem simple, but they mean a lot to all of us.
I call my parents separately, and the conversations are different. My father likes to think deeply and often gives gentle advice. He is also interested in new technology such as smart watches and AI tools. My mother, on the other hand, is always concerned about me. She asks whether I am eating well or getting enough sleep. When I ask about her health, she always says everything is fine, even when my father has told me something different.
Over time, I have learned to listen carefully not only to their words but also to their voices. A small pause or a change in tone can reveal feelings they do not say directly.
I return to Beijing once a year to see them. The joy of meeting them is great, but saying goodbye is always difficult. As my parents grow older, I sometimes feel sad that I cannot help them in person. Anyway, though these weekly calls cannot remove the distance, they help keep our family closely connected, one ordinary conversation at a time.
4. What can we infer about the writer’s weekly calls?
A. They are a long-time habit. B. The reasons for them are various.
C. They are often short and formal. D. They started after moving abroad.
5. Why does the writer keep calling her parents every week?
A. To ask for life advice. B. To check they are well.
C. To avoid feeling lonely. D. To solve family problems.
6. What does the writer learn from listening carefully to her parents?
A. Their daily schedules. B. Their hidden feelings.
C. Their plans for the future. D. Their opinions on family life.
7. What does the writer mainly want to show in the last paragraph?
A. Time together is very short. B. Visits matter more than calls.
C. Distance weakens family love. D. Ordinary chats deepen family ties.
C
Tea has always brought comfort to people on Earth. Now, scientists are asking a new question: Could we grow tea on the Moon? A recent study by the University of Kent suggests that tea plants might actually survive in lunar soil. This offers hope for future astronauts who will live and work on the Moon.
Working with tea experts and space groups, researchers planted young tea bushes in soil made to look like the Moon’s surface. They carefully controlled light, temperature, and water. Another group of plants grew in normal Earth soil for comparison. Surprisingly, after several weeks, the tea plants in the “moon soil” grew just as well as those on Earth. However, plants in soil made to look like Mars did not grow at all. Students measured root length, leaf health, and soil conditions, suggesting that lunar ground may be less hostile than expected.
The idea began when a space scientist heard about farming research. He worked with tea farmers to provide plants for the test. While the main goal is to help space travel, the findings could also help farmers on Earth. Many places today face poor soil because of climate change and over-farming. Learning how plants survive in hard, low-nutrient conditions might lead to new ways to protect crops here at home.
Professor Nigel Mason explained that as humans plan to build bases on the Moon, knowing what people can eat is very important. Growing tea in lunar greenhouses could give settlers fresh food and a taste of home.
He added that the team’s next step is to learn exactly how the plants manage to grow in these extreme conditions. This knowledge could then be used to help other crops grow, both in space and back on our planet. It seems that the idea of a quiet tea break could one day be a small but important part of life on the moon.
8. What did the study by the University of Kent find?
A. Tea plants grew better in moon soil. B. Tea plants cannot grow in moon soil.
C. Mars soil is better for growing plants. D. Moon soil can support tea plant growth.
9. What does the underlined word “hostile” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Unfavorable for growth. B. Similar to the soil on Mars.
C. Full of enemies and attacks. D. Angry and ready to fight back.
10. What is the main purpose of growing tea in moon-like soil?
A. To test if tea tastes better in space. B. To compare with plants in Mars soil.
C. To help future astronauts live on the moon. D. To find new ways to grow tea plants on Earth.
11. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Astronauts prefer tea to other drinks in space.
B. Growing food on the moon is still impossible.
C. Tea breaks will soon be common on the moon.
D. Scientists will study how plants survive in tough soil.

China’s annual Spring Festival Gala is as popular as the US Super Bowl. This year, it surprised people around the world. During the Lunar New Year show, human-like robots performed difficult martial arts (武术) moves. The stunts were so amazing that some viewers online asked if the video was real. However, major news groups have confirmed that it was not fake (假的).
Four Chinese robot companies — Unitree, Galbot, Noetix, and MagicLab — showed their latest technology. In one act, more than ten Unitree robots worked with child actors. They did flips, fight scenes, and waved swords and sticks skillfully. Just a year ago, these robots could only do simple dances. Now, their fast progress shows what people call “China speed.” Other robots joined humans in a funny sketch or danced together to music.
Experts say this success comes from better computer programs. These programs act like a robot “brain” to control movement. This quick growth is part of China’s plan to lead in robotics. Last year, China made 90% of all human-like robots sold worldwide. Sales are expected to double again in 2026. Even Elon Musk, the head of Tesla, admits that Chinese companies are his biggest competitors.
However, the rise of robots also brings important questions. Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan, an AI expert, warns that robots could change our jobs, armies, and personal lives. He asks whether we truly want robots to become our coworkers, soldiers, or even friends. While some people joke about stopping robots with chat programs, others worry about the future of human work.
The show proves that technology is moving fast. As robots become more common, society must decide how to use them wisely. The goal should be to build a future where technology helps humans live better, rather than replacing them. After all, feeling safe and connected matters most.
12. What surprised people during this year’s Spring Festival Gala?
A. The robots danced with children. B. The robots performed martial arts.
C. The robots sang songs with pop stars. D. The show was confirmed to be a fake video.
13. What does “China speed” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Fast economic growth in China. B. Quick changes in Chinese culture.
C. Rapid progress in robot technology. D. The speed of Chinese high-speed trains.
14. What does Dr. Ramesh Srinivasan worry about?
A. Robots cannot be controlled. B. Robots will become too smart.
C. Robots may replace human jobs. D. Robots will become too expensive.
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. Kung fu Robots Shock the World B. The Secret Behind Human-like Robots
C. The Future of Human-Robot Friendship D. Robots Take Over the Spring Festival Gala
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Humans may have begun taming(驯养) animals and growing small crops as early as 10,000 years ago. However, many early people were nomads who moved from place to place. ____16____ They hunted, fished, and gathered nuts, berries, and roots. Life was hard and uncertain.
Over time, people began to keep animals in herds. ____17____ They built homes and started farming the land around them. Growing crops provided a more reliable food supply than hunting and gathering. As a result, small settlements grew into villages, towns, and eventually cities.
Farmers also discovered that planting certain crops together was helpful.

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。
Today was the big day-the final of our school’s talent show. The school hall was full of excitement. Students gathered around the stage, talking and laughing. Bright lights shone above, and music played softly in the background. Everyone was looking forward to the performances.
I was standing behind the stage, waiting for my turn. My act was a piano performance. Although I had practiced for several weeks, I still felt very nervous.
My best friend Kevin noticed my worried face. “Relax,” he said with a smile. “You’ve practiced so much. Just enjoy the music.” I tried to smile back, but my heart was beating quickly. I kept thinking about what might go wrong. What if I forgot the notes? What if I played badly?
Soon the show began. One by one, the contestants gave wonderful performances. A group of dancers performed an energetic dance. Then a boy showed several amazing magic tricks that surprised everyone. The audience cheered loudly after each act.
Listening to the applause made me even more nervous. Finally, a teacher walked onto the stage and announced my name.
My legs suddenly felt heavy as I walked toward the piano. The bright lights made it hard to see the audience clearly. I sat down and placed my fingers on the keys. For a moment, the hall became very quiet.
I took a deep breath and began to play. At first, my fingers trembled slightly. But slowly, the music began to flow. The familiar melody helped me relax, and my hands moved more smoothly. Everything seemed to be going well. However, when I reached the middle part of the piece, something unexpected happened. Suddenly, my mind went blank. I couldn’t remember the next notes.
The music stopped. The whole hall became silent. I sat there, staring at the piano keys, not knowing what to do.
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。
Just then, I noticed Kevin in the audience.
