My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person. For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces. At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time. After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft. The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. 4. Why did the author organize the trip? A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B. To make shared memories for the family. C. To document the kids’ exposure to nature. D. To relive the special outback experiences. 5. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Tripped over my words. B. Argued about the stories. C. Subscribed to their views. D. Reflected on the memories. 6. What does the author think of the trip? A. It well fulfills its original purpose. B. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences. C. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory. D. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt. 7. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage? A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges. B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the outback. C. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes. D. The outback offers more unique sights than cities. 【答案】4. B 5. A 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了作者组织一次长途旅行，旨在为家人创造共同回忆，尽管途中遇到诸多不便，但孩子们的快乐和纯真视角让作者意识到，旅行中的收获往往超乎预期。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. (我把家人塞进旧车里，踏上了从悉尼到内陆的3000公里旅程，希望能给孩子们留下持久的回忆。)”可知，作者组织这次旅行是为了给家人创造共同的回忆。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. (我急切地想和孩子们分享澳大利亚的民间故事，自信地告诉他们那里住着一个神秘的生物——但当他们问我后续问题时，我stumbled了。)”可知，作者在自信地讲述故事后，面对孩子们的追问却回答不上来，由此可推知，此处指作者说话不流畅，即“结结巴巴地说不出话来”，与A项“Tripped over my words (结结巴巴地说不出话来)”意思一致。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (这次旅行并不棒——我甚至抱怨床上的床垫太硬，毛巾太小。但在复活节早上，孩子们在我们廉价的汽车旅馆房间里疯狂地寻找彩蛋，兴奋地搜遍了每一个角落。我本想教孩子们了解我们州最偏远的地方，但实际上，孩子们才是我一直想要的最好的视角。)”可知，作者认为这次旅行虽然有不便之处，但孩子们的快乐和纯真视角让作者觉得这次旅行是值得的。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. (我本想教孩子们了解我们州最偏远的地方，但实际上，孩子们才是我一直想要的最好的视角。)”可知，作者原本想通过旅行教育孩子们，但最终发现孩子们的视角和反应给了作者意想不到的启示和收获，由此可推知，作者想通过这篇文章传达的关键信息是“我们通过孩子的眼睛获得了意想不到的见解”。 C Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). These products, ranging from ready-to-drink sports drinks to powders that mix with water, can cost a few pounds per day, adding up to a considerable sum over time. Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in regulating nerves, supporting muscle function and maintaining fluid balance in the human body. Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs. However, during long and intense exercise where people sweat heavily, their electrolyte levels may drop significantly. “If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice,” Close says. Besides, electrolyte drinks can increase thirst, which helps people drink more water — something particularly necessary during extended workouts. For moderate exercise such as a short trip to the gym, electrolytes are not necessary at all. “Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things,” Close advises. Of course, if you just enjoy the taste and it encourages you to drink more during exercise, it is not a bad thing. Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. He also notes there’s little scientific evidence that taking electrolytes first thing in the morning brings any real benefit. 8. Which best describes the current market for electrolyte drinks? A. Primarily used for top athletes in extreme training. B. Chiefly sold as sports drinks to professionals. C. Mainly sold as costly nerve disease treatments. D. Shifted from professional to the general market. 9. Why does Professor Close think people waste money on electrolyte drinks? A. Such drinks are mostly just plain water. B. People mix electrolyte powders poorly. C. A normal balanced diet offers enough electrolytes. D. The body maintains fluid balance by itself. 10. What can be inferred about the recommended homemade mix? A. It works best when taken in the morning. B. It only works with special pineapple juice. C. It is worse for the body than commercial products. D. It is a cheap alternative to expensive drinks. 11. What is Professor Close’s attitude towards electrolyte drinks? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned. 【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章指出对大多数进行适度运动的普通人而言，均衡饮食已能满足电解质需求，购买电解质饮料可能是一种浪费，但在长时间高强度出汗运动时，补充电解质仍是有益的。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). (电解质饮料在健身房和跑步路线旁变得越来越受欢迎，被广泛宣传为提升运动表现和加速运动后恢复所必需的饮品。过去，只有顶尖运动员才会在炎热的训练环境中使用这种饮料，而现在它吸引了普通健身者和上班族，成为一种简单的日常补水方式。)”可知，电解质饮料的使用人群从“曾经仅限顶尖运动员”变为“现在吸引了普通健身者和上班族”，表明其市场已从专业市场转向大众市场。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs. (利物浦约翰摩尔斯大学的著名运动营养学专家Graeme Close教授指出，大多数人都在毫无必要地浪费钱购买电解质饮料。对于普通人而言，一份合理的、精心设计的饮食就能轻松满足日常所需的电解质含量。)”可知，Close教授认为人们在电解质饮料上浪费钱，是因为正常的均衡饮食就能提供足够的电解质。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. (他建议不要购买昂贵的商业冲剂，而是采用一种简单的自制混合物：三分之二的水，三分之一的果汁（比如菠萝汁），再加上一点点盐。)”可推知，教授推荐的自制混合物经济实惠，是昂贵饮料的一种廉价替代品。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Close所说的话“If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice (如果你长时间进行锻炼，尤其是如果你属于容易出汗且体液流失较多的人群，那么以钠的形式补充电解质是一个不错的选择)”和最后一段中Close所说的话“Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things (只需定期小口喝水即可。这已经足够了，所以把钱留着用于其他用途吧。)”可知，Close教授否定不必要的电解质饮料消费，也肯定其特定场景的价值，表明他对电解质饮料的态度是客观的。 D In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring innovative solutions in unexpected areas — specifically the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature introduces a promising discovery: certain kinds of naturally existing bacteria can greatly reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, mainly released from farmland because of the overuse of nitrogen (氮)-based fertilizers, has long been a critical climate concern. As Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences explains, this gas traps heat 265 times more effectively than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and can stay in the air for over a century. To develop this eco-friendly solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Based on earlier studies, their main goal was to identify certain bacteria that could reduce N₂O emissions without staying in the soil for too long, so as to keep the soil healthy. Tests showed two weeks after the second fertilizer application, the bacteria cut emissions by about half. After three months, the soil’s microbial (微生物的) makeup remained the same, indicating the bacteria pose no threat to the soil ecosystem. The bacteria are not genetically changed and live naturally in special devices that transform organic waste into biofuels. Paul Carini of the University of Arizona noted that these bacteria’s natural origin may facilitate agricultural acceptance. Besides, the bacteria can be added to fertilizers for farmers to use directly, which makes the method cost-effective and opens up numerous possibilities for managing farmland in a sustainable way. However, significant challenges still exist before it can be widely used. Researchers explained that soils vary greatly around the world, so more field tests are needed to make sure the bacteria work effectively in different environments. Most importantly, farmers currently get no financial motivation to use such methods. Bakken argued that governments must make policies to make reducing N₂O emissions profitable. If these barriers are overcome, this bacterial treatment could greatly reduce agriculture’s role in climate change. 12. Why is nitrous oxide a critical climate concern? A. It is overused in nitrogen-based fertilizers. B. It traps heat much more effectively than CO₂. C. It is mainly released from farmland. D. It destroys crop growth in farmland easily. 13. What can we infer from Paragraph 3? A. Researchers failed in earlier experiments. B. The bacteria don’t grow well in organic waste. C. The bacteria are environmentally safe for the soil. D. Organic waste changes the soil’s microbial structure. 14. Which aspect of the bacteria is mainly discussed in paragraph 4? A. Its producing process. B. Its working principle. C. Its potential benefits. D. Its research value. 15. What is the best title for the text? A. Natural Bacteria Against Climate Change B. Harmful Greenhouse Gas From Farmland C. Significant Changes in Soil Ecosystem D. Effective Approaches to Stop Warming 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】文章介绍了一项研究发现某些天然存在的细菌能有效减少农业排放的强效温室气体一氧化二氮，阐述了其原理、环境安全性、应用优势以及走向广泛应用前仍需克服的挑战。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“As Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences explains, this gas traps heat 265 times more effectively than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (挪威生命科学大学的Lars Bakken教授解释道，这种气体吸收热量的效率比大气中的二氧化碳高出265倍)”可知，一氧化二氮之所以成为关键的气候问题，是因为它捕获热量的能力远强于二氧化碳。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“After three months, the soil’s microbial (微生物的) makeup remained the same, indicating the bacteria pose no threat to the soil ecosystem. (三个月后，土壤中的微生物构成保持不变，这表明这些细菌对土壤生态系统没有危害。)”可知，引入细菌后土壤微生物构成未变，证明其对土壤生态系统安全。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中“Paul Carini of the University of Arizona noted that these bacteria’s natural origin may facilitate agricultural acceptance. Besides, the bacteria can be added to fertilizers for farmers to use directly, which makes the method cost-effective and opens up numerous possibilities for managing farmland in a sustainable way. (亚利桑那大学的Paul Carini指出，这些细菌的天然来源可能有助于其在农业领域的推广接受度。此外，这些细菌可以被添加到肥料中供农民直接使用，这使得该方法具有成本效益，并为以可持续方式管理农田开辟了众多可能性。)”可知，该段主要讨论了这种细菌的潜在好处。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“A recent study published in Nature introduces a promising discovery: certain kinds of naturally existing bacteria can greatly reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O), a powerful greenhouse gas. (最近发表在《自然》期刊上的一项研究揭示了一个令人振奋的发现：某些天然存在的细菌能够显著减少农业活动中一氧化二氮N₂O的排放量，而N₂O是一种强效的温室气体。)”可知，文章核心是介绍一种利用天然细菌减少农业一氧化二氮排放的创新性气候解决方案。因此，“对抗气候变化的天然细菌”准确概括了文章主题，最适合作为文章标题。 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。 Turning the Page: Steps to Create a New Chapter in Your Life Life is like a journey with ups and downs.

For a Chinese student, using chopsticks to eat is the most natural thing. But here, every time I ate in the cafeteria and skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, the foreign classmates around me always cast curious and slightly confused looks, and from time to time, there were whispers: “How do they do that?” At first, I would smile and briefly explain how to use chopsticks to them. But as the number of times increased, the sense of strangeness brought about by cultural differences gradually made me feel uncomfortable. Even for a moment, I hesitated to switch to a knife and fork to eat in order to fit in. During a group dinner, everyone sat around the restaurant. I habitually reached out for chopsticks. Jack, who was in the same group, saw this and exclaimed excitedly: “Hey, let’s see your magic with chopsticks!” As he spoke, he also picked up a pair of chopsticks and clumsily imitated. But before he could pick up anything, the chopsticks slipped from his hand. The other classmates laughed, and my face burned. I lowered my head to eat awkwardly, but my heart was in a mess. I realized that in their eyes, chopsticks were just a novel “performance prop (道具)”, and I, as a “foreigner” using chopsticks, seemed to have become an object of observation. After that, when facing others’ curiosity about chopsticks, I lost the initial enthusiasm to share and just casually smiled. I was afraid of this excessive attention, afraid that my cultural habits would become an “outsider label” in the eyes of others. I even began to deliberately reduce the number of times I used chopsticks in public, trying to make myself “fit in” with the local dining style. 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。 Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival. Each country’s student union was required to set up a booth to showcase their own culture. Our Chinese student union decided to take chopsticks as the theme. At first, I was a little hesitant, but when I saw my classmates actively preparing, I was also infected by their enthusiasm. I thought, since chopsticks are an important part of Chinese culture, why not let more people know and understand them? I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize. I told them that chopsticks represent the wisdom and philosophy of the Chinese people. They are not only a tool for eating, but also a cultural carrier. As I spoke, more and more people gathered around our booth. Some of them were curious, some were amazed, and some even tried to use chopsticks under my guidance. Looking at their serious expressions and the smiles on their faces, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. I realized that cultural differences are not a barrier, but a bridge. As long as we are willing to share and communicate, we can understand and respect each other’s cultures. 【解析】 【导语】本文讲述了作者在加拿大留学时，因使用筷子吃饭被外国同学好奇围观，逐渐对筷子产生抵触，直到学校举办国际文化节。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①第一段首句“直到有一天，学校举办了国际文化节。”可续写作者在文化节上的经历，如决定以筷子为主题展示中国文化，开始时的犹豫，以及看到同学们积极准备后的转变。 ②第二段首句“我开始耐心地解释如何拿筷子以及它们象征着什么。”可续写作者在文化节上向外国同学介绍筷子的过程，同学们的反应，以及作者自己的感受和领悟。 2. 续写线索：学校举办国际文化节——中国学生以筷子为主题——作者犹豫后加入——作者介绍筷子——同学们的反应——作者的感受和领悟 3. 词汇激活： 行为类： ①展示：showcase/display ②影响：infect/affect ③聚集：gather/assemble 情绪类： ①热情：enthusiasm/passion/zeal ②满意：satisfaction/contentment 【点睛】[高分句型1] I thought, since chopsticks are an important part of Chinese culture, why not let more people know and understand them?

B I packed my family into our old car and set off on a 3,000 km trip from Sydney to the outback, hoping to create lasting memories for the kids. My plan seemed ambitious — covering such distances with two young kids in the back might sound crazy to a sensible person. For most of the journey, we often felt annoyed, arguing about the remaining distance and the discomfort in the car. I’d had outback road trip memories as a kid and wanted my city-raised children to see the vast open spaces. At a bird-hide near Forbes, we watched a swamp with bright green water and dead trees. Eager to share Australian folk stories, I confidently told the kids that a mysterious creature lived there — but stumbled when they asked me follow-up questions. Their enthusiasm for the smallest joy knocked me for six. At a roadside motel that looked like a movie set, the kids loved being woken by the night trains, cheering each time. After three days, we reached Broken Hill — a town dominated by a big slag heap (矿渣堆), just as remarkable as I remembered. Surrounded by kilometers of mineral-rich land, its streets imply its mining roots. I feared the mineral museum would bore the kids, but they yelled with joy, thinking it was real-life Minecraft. The trip wasn’t fantastic — I even complained about hard mattresses on the bed and small towels. But on Easter morning, the kids went wild for a simple egg hunt in our cheap motel room, thrilled to search every corner. I set out to teach the kids about the far reaches of our state, when in fact the kids were the best perspective I could ask for all along. 4. Why did the author organize the trip? A. To explore the locals’ unique lifestyle. B. To make shared memories for the family. C. To document the kids’ exposure to nature. D. To relive the special outback experiences. 5. What does the underlined word “stumbled” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Tripped over my words. B. Argued about the stories. C. Subscribed to their views. D. Reflected on the memories. 6. What does the author think of the trip? A. It well fulfills its original purpose. B. It is worthwhile despite inconveniences. C. It leaves the family an unpleasant memory. D. It is an ambitious but disappointing attempt. 7. What key message does the author try to convey through the passage? A. Travel joy lies in overcoming challenges. B. City-raised kids can easily adapt to the outback. C. We gain unexpected insights through kids’ eyes. D. The outback offers more unique sights than cities. C Electrolyte (电解质) drinks have become increasingly popular on gym floors and running routes, widely promoted as essential for boosting athletic performance and speeding up post-exercise recovery. Once used only by top athletes to cope with intense training in hot conditions, they now attract casual gym-goers and office workers as a simple daily way to stay hydrated (水分充足). These products, ranging from ready-to-drink sports drinks to powders that mix with water, can cost a few pounds per day, adding up to a considerable sum over time. Electrolytes are essential minerals that play a key role in regulating nerves, supporting muscle function and maintaining fluid balance in the human body. Professor Graeme Close, a leading sports nutrition researcher at Liverpool John Moores University, points out that most people are wasting money on electrolyte drinks unnecessarily. A regular, well-designed diet can easily supply enough electrolytes for the average person’s daily needs. However, during long and intense exercise where people sweat heavily, their electrolyte levels may drop significantly. “If you exercise for a long period of time, especially if you are a salty sweater, adding electrolytes in the form of sodium (钠) is a good choice,” Close says. Besides, electrolyte drinks can increase thirst, which helps people drink more water — something particularly necessary during extended workouts. For moderate exercise such as a short trip to the gym, electrolytes are not necessary at all. “Just sip water regularly. That’s more than good enough, so keep your hard-earned money for other things,” Close advises. Of course, if you just enjoy the taste and it encourages you to drink more during exercise, it is not a bad thing. Instead of buying expensive commercial powders, he suggests a simple homemade mix: two-thirds water, one-third fruit juice (like pineapple juice) and a tiny pinch of salt. He also notes there’s little scientific evidence that taking electrolytes first thing in the morning brings any real benefit. 8. Which best describes the current market for electrolyte drinks? A. Primarily used for top athletes in extreme training. B. Chiefly sold as sports drinks to professionals. C. Mainly sold as costly nerve disease treatments. D. Shifted from professional to the general market. 9. Why does Professor Close think people waste money on electrolyte drinks? A. Such drinks are mostly just plain water. B. People mix electrolyte powders poorly. C. A normal balanced diet offers enough electrolytes. D. The body maintains fluid balance by itself. 10. What can be inferred about the recommended homemade mix? A. It works best when taken in the morning. B. It only works with special pineapple juice. C. It is worse for the body than commercial products. D. It is a cheap alternative to expensive drinks. 11. What is Professor Close’s attitude towards electrolyte drinks? A. Supportive. B. Objective. C. Disapproving. D. Unconcerned. D In the global effort to fight climate change, scientists are exploring innovative solutions in unexpected areas — specifically the soil beneath our feet. A recent study published in Nature introduces a promising discovery: certain kinds of naturally existing bacteria can greatly reduce agricultural emissions of nitrous oxide (N₂O), a powerful greenhouse gas. Nitrous oxide, mainly released from farmland because of the overuse of nitrogen (氮)-based fertilizers, has long been a critical climate concern. As Professor Lars Bakken of the Norwegian University of Life Sciences explains, this gas traps heat 265 times more effectively than carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and can stay in the air for over a century. To develop this eco-friendly solution, researchers grew the bacteria using organic waste. Based on earlier studies, their main goal was to identify certain bacteria that could reduce N₂O emissions without staying in the soil for too long, so as to keep the soil healthy. Tests showed two weeks after the second fertilizer application, the bacteria cut emissions by about half. After three months, the soil’s microbial (微生物的) makeup remained the same, indicating the bacteria pose no threat to the soil ecosystem. The bacteria are not genetically changed and live naturally in special devices that transform organic waste into biofuels. Paul Carini of the University of Arizona noted that these bacteria’s natural origin may facilitate agricultural acceptance. Besides, the bacteria can be added to fertilizers for farmers to use directly, which makes the method cost-effective and opens up numerous possibilities for managing farmland in a sustainable way. However, significant challenges still exist before it can be widely used. Researchers explained that soils vary greatly around the world, so more field tests are needed to make sure the bacteria work effectively in different environments. Most importantly, farmers currently get no financial motivation to use such methods. Bakken argued that governments must make policies to make reducing N₂O emissions profitable.

For a Chinese student, using chopsticks to eat is the most natural thing. But here, every time I ate in the cafeteria and skillfully picked up food with chopsticks, the foreign classmates around me always cast curious and slightly confused looks, and from time to time, there were whispers: “How do they do that?” At first, I would smile and briefly explain how to use chopsticks to them. But as the number of times increased, the sense of strangeness brought about by cultural differences gradually made me feel uncomfortable. Even for a moment, I hesitated to switch to a knife and fork to eat in order to fit in. During a group dinner, everyone sat around the restaurant. I habitually reached out for chopsticks. Jack, who was in the same group, saw this and exclaimed excitedly: “Hey, let’s see your magic with chopsticks!” As he spoke, he also picked up a pair of chopsticks and clumsily imitated. But before he could pick up anything, the chopsticks slipped from his hand. The other classmates laughed, and my face burned. I lowered my head to eat awkwardly, but my heart was in a mess. I realized that in their eyes, chopsticks were just a novel “performance prop (道具)”, and I, as a “foreigner” using chopsticks, seemed to have become an object of observation. After that, when facing others’ curiosity about chopsticks, I lost the initial enthusiasm to share and just casually smiled. I was afraid of this excessive attention, afraid that my cultural habits would become an “outsider label” in the eyes of others. I even began to deliberately reduce the number of times I used chopsticks in public, trying to make myself “fit in” with the local dining style. 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。 Until one day, the school held an international cultural festival. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I started to patiently explain how to hold chopsticks and what they symbolize. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
