When she was in middle school, Richmonder and Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School (MLWGS) senior Anushri Ramesh desired to be a professional athlete.
The more sports Ramesh played, though, the more she noticed some things, like how her club softball team was once displaced from a practice facility for the baseball team. Then, she learned that professional female athletes often earned less than the male athletes. “It struck me that female and male sports weren’t treated equally,” Ramesh says. “If I wanted to make a career in sports, I wouldn’t be able to live the life that male athletes were paid to have.” Ramesh’s dream to bring equity to local youth sports inspired her to start We Play Too, an athlete-driven initiative that encourages girls and young people to enjoy club sports at a young age.
In 2023, Ramesh started We Play Too as a school club. Then the activity grew into its own organization, with high school athletes serving as coaches for elementary students at Henrico County and Richmond public schools. “We teach gifted students, so we often hear great ideas,” says MLWGS teacher Michael White, who served as the club’s advisor for its first two years. “But to actually turn an idea into a real charitable institution for the community needs a lot of hard work and sweat.”
We Play Too now has chapters at Deep Run, Freeman, Godwin, Henrico and Tucker high schools and has spread beyond the region to schools in Queens, New York, and Tamil Nadu, India. Ramesh estimates that more than 2,000 elementary students have participated in clubs locally, and more than 100 high schoolers have volunteered.
As the organization has grown, so has its mission. Sports can lead to college scholarship opportunities, but financial barriers often prevent kids from participating in the first place. We Play Too’s free clubs help young athletes start their careers at no cost.
Though Ramesh will move on to college next year, she sees a future for the effort. “I want to bring We Play Too to college with me, and bring it across the country,” Ramesh says.
4. What motivated Anushri Ramesh to start We Play Too?
A. The unequal treatment in youth sports.
B. The lack of sports facilities in her school.
C. Her failure to become a professional athlete.
D. Her teacher’s advice on helping elementary students.
5. What can we know from Michael White’s words?
A. Operating community-serving organizations is easy.
B. A real charitable organization needs creative ideas.
C. It takes a lot of effort to start We Play Too.
D. Doing sports isn’t accepted among the locals.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The difficulty in choosing schools. B. The severity of lacking volunteers.
C. The meaning of student participation. D. The influence of We Play Too.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To raise funds for sports. B. To tell about a school program.
C. To advertise free sports clubs. D. To organize sports activities.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. D 7. B
【解析】

In medicine, a quick diagnosis (诊断) and treatment can be lifesaving. Thankfully, the tools of the future have arrived, which are now helping doctors make medical decisions as quickly as possible.
Rapid responses are particularly important in the case of strokes (中风). The severity of the impact of a stroke is often a matter of minutes. Now, according to a news release in BMJ, the NHS England has found that AI software that interprets brain scans (扫描) could increase stroke recovery rates by three times.
The technology may be able to accomplish this goal by diagnosing patients faster. The new AI software processes, interprets, and transfers images at a speed that assists doctors in making faster decisions about the right form of treatment.
A stroke, which is when blood supply to a part of the brain is stopped, can become very dangerous. According to current estimates, a person can lose 2 million brain cells (细胞) per minute at the start of a stroke. The longer a stroke goes on, the more likely it is to cause permanent damage, such as mobility, communication issues, or memory loss.
As Health Club Management Magazine reports, making the decision about how to treat a stroke and whether surgery is necessary— can take a specialist up to 30 minutes. That’s a long time when every moment matters. Luckily, a new piece of AI software has been put in all 107 stroke centers in England. This technology, which can analyze brain scans and recognize patterns that point to a stroke that doctors may not be able to recognize, can give a doctor data on the severity of a stroke, and therefore what kind of intervention it may need immediately. This has led to a reduction in the time in which patients receive treatment by an hour.
The new technology in England illustrates the power of AI to help humanity through saving lives. Machines can see quicker, view more, and analyze information more quickly than humans. When it comes to a stroke, that can make all the difference.
8. What determines the stroke recovery rates according to the text?
A. The medicine. B. The quick response.
C. The medical team. D. Patients’ health levels.
9. What does the author want to do by listing numbers in paragraph 4?
A. Show the advantages of machines. B. Call for preventive healthcare policies.
C. highlight the urgency of timely assistance. D. Say the necessity of protecting brain cells.
10. What is a feature of the new AI software?
A. It can perform surgery on patients. B. It can restore the missing memory.
C. It can prevent strokes from happening. D. It can help doctors decide rapidly.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. AI Speeds up Stroke Rescue B. AI and Brain Attack
C. Doctors and Stroke Patients D. Diagnosis Is the Key
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. D 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了人工智能技术在医疗领域,尤其是中风诊断和治疗中风的革命性应用。一款新的AI软件可以通过快速解读脑部扫描图像,显著提升中风患者的救治效率和康复率。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Rapid responses are particularly important in the case of strokes (中风). The severity of the impact of a stroke is often a matter of minutes. Now, according to a news release in BMJ, the NHS England has found that AI software that interprets brain scans (扫描) could increase stroke recovery rates by three times.(在中风的情况下,快速反应尤为重要。中风影响的严重程度通常是几分钟的问题。现在,根据《英国医学杂志》的一篇新闻稿,英国国家医疗服务体系发现,解读脑部扫描的人工智能软件可以将中风的康复率提高三倍。)”可知,决定中风康复率的是快速响应。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“According to current estimates, a person can lose 2 million brain cells (细胞) per minute at the start of a stroke. The longer a stroke goes on, the more likely it is to cause permanent damage, such as mobility, communication issues, or memory loss.(据目前估计,中风发作之初,人每分钟会损失 200 万个脑细胞。中风持续的时间越长,造成永久性损伤的可能性就越大,比如行动不便、交流障碍或记忆力减退。)”可知,作者在第四段列数字旨在强调及时救助的紧迫性。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“This technology, which can analyze brain scans and recognize patterns that point to a stroke that doctors may not be able to recognize, can give a doctor data on the severity of a stroke, and therefore what kind of intervention it may need immediately.(这项技术能够分析脑部扫描图像并识别出医生可能无法察觉的中风迹象,从而为医生提供有关中风严重程度的数据,进而确定其可能需要的即时干预措施。)”可知,新的AI软件可以帮助医生及时作决定。故选D项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。分析全文内容可知,文章主要介绍了一款人工智能AI软件,它可以通过快速解读脑部扫描图像,显著提升中风患者的救治效率和康复率。故A项“AI提速中风救援”能概括全文内容适合用作本文标题。故选A项。
D
In mid-October 2025, at the IUCN Congress in Abu Dhabi, it was announced that the worldwide population of green sea turtles, aka Chelonia mydas, had grown by approximately 28% since the 1970s.
News of their recovery, after decades of decline, has been greeted with excitement by conservationists. “This is a major win for turtle conservation and proves that joint efforts can reverse populations at risk of extinction,” says Christine Madden, WWF Global Marine Turtle Conservation Lead. Brendan Godley, a turtle expert from the UK’s University of Exeter, tells Mongabay, “It stresses that marine (海洋的) conservation can work. There is hope, and we should rightly celebrate it.”
Green sea turtles are slow to reproduce, with adults only reaching maturity at an estimated 26 to 40 years of age. In addition, just 1% of young turtles survive long enough to reproduce themselves. Despite this challenge, green sea turtles, details the Smithsonian Magazine, were once so rich that during the time of Christopher Columbus, sailors could sail at night around islands by the sounds of turtles breathing and their hard shells bumping into the wooden boats.
A severe decline came about, however, because historically, humans hunted green turtles for their shells, meat and eggs. Their meat was sought out to make soup, while their eggs and shells were decorated by many cultures, decimating their populations.
Even after hunting declined, the species continued to be threatened due to entanglement (缠绕) in fishing nets, the decline of nesting beaches and ocean habitats, the impacts of invasive (侵入的) species, and factors involved in pollution, diseases and climate change.
This exciting recovery is credited to turtle conservation efforts focused on safeguarding nesting females and their eggs on beaches, and reducing the unsustainable harvest of turtles and their eggs for human consumption despite ongoing other threats such as climate change.
However, Madden warns, “Conservation efforts must continue for green turtle populations to thrive and recover in areas where they remain threatened by overfishing and loss of habitats.”
12. What is Brendan Godley’s attitude toward the conservation efforts?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain.
13. Why is Christopher Columbus mentioned?
A. To stress the large number of green sea turtles in history.
B. To compare ancient and modern sailing techniques.
C. To criticize early explorers’ environmental impact.
D. To explain the turtles’ breathing mechanism.
14. What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Increasing. B. Ignoring. C. Protecting. D. Destroying.
15. What does Madden try to say in the last paragraph?
A. The complete success of protecting green turtles.
B. The importance of ongoing conservation efforts.
C. The challenges to recover turtle nesting habitats.
D. The way to improve current fishing practices.
【答案】12. C 13. A 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了绿海龟数量从20世纪70年代以来增长了约28%这一消息,并说明了绿海龟数量曾经锐减的原因、目前面临的威胁以及保护措施等。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中Brendan Godley所说的话“It stresses that marine (海洋的) conservation can work. There is hope, and we should rightly celebrate it.(这强调了海洋保护是可行的。希望尚存,我们理应为此庆祝。)”可知,他认为海洋保护能发挥作用,对绿海龟的保护工作充满希望,认为应该庆祝,由此可推断出他对保护工作持乐观态度。故选C项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Green sea turtles are slow to reproduce, with adults only reaching maturity at an estimated 26 to 40 years of age. In addition, just 1% of young turtles survive long enough to reproduce themselves. Despite this challenge, green sea turtles, details the Smithsonian Magazine, were once so rich that during the time of Christopher Columbus, sailors could sail at night around islands by the sounds of turtles breathing and their hard shells bumping into the wooden boats.(绿海龟繁殖缓慢,据估计成年海龟要到26至40岁才能成熟。此外,只有1%的小海龟能存活到繁殖后代。尽管面临这一挑战,据《史密森尼杂志》详细介绍,绿海龟曾经数量众多,在哥伦布时代,水手们可以在夜晚听着海龟的呼吸声和它们坚硬的壳撞击木船的声音绕着岛屿航行。)”可知,提到克里斯托弗·哥伦布是为了强调历史上绿海龟数量之多。故选A项。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段中“A severe decline came about, however, because historically, humans hunted green turtles for their shells, meat and eggs. Their meat was sought out to make soup, while their eggs and shells were decorated by many cultures, decimating their populations.(然而,数量出现了严重下降,因为从历史上看,人类捕猎绿海龟是为了获取它们的壳、肉和蛋。人们寻找它们的肉来做汤,而它们的蛋和壳被许多文化用来装饰,decimating他们的数量)”可知,人类捕猎绿海龟的行为导致绿海龟的数量大量减少,造成了严重破坏,结合选项可知,划线词decimating与D项“Destroying”意思相近,都表示“毁灭;破坏”。故选D项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Madden所说的话“Conservation efforts must continue for green turtle populations to thrive and recover in areas where they remain threatened by overfishing and loss of habitats.(为了使绿海龟种群在仍然受到过度捕捞和栖息地丧失威胁的地区茁壮成长并恢复,保护工作必须继续下去。)”可知,Madden想强调持续保护工作的重要性。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者和丈夫在浙江乡村徒步时,与淳朴的村民相处的温馨经历,体现了乡村的人情美和微笑的力量。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:当我和约翰在他浙江的村子里徒步,停下来欣赏一片黄色雏菊时,一个说中文的声音从小溪对岸传来。此空考查非谓语,voice与speak为主动关系,再由语境可知,应用现在分词作后置定语。故填speaking。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:我抬头看见两张微笑却陌生的脸庞正望着我和丈夫,两人脸上都满是友好的好奇。此空考查独立主格结构,both指代前文的two smiling yet unfamiliar faces,与fill为被动关系,应用过去分词。故填filled。
【38题详解】
考查名词。句意:毕竟,他们不是每天都能见到一个白人外国人在自家田埂对面徒步。形容词white后需接名词,foreign的名词形式为foreigner,意为“外国人”,符合语境,前面有不定冠词a,用单数形式。故填foreigner。

【40题详解】
考查时态。句意:很快,我们就聊了起来 —— 聊我们的徒步之行,还有他们的庄稼种植。此空考查谓语动词,主语we与fall为主动关系,文章讲述过去的经历,应用一般过去时,fall的过去式为fell。故填fell。
【41题详解】
考查代词。句意:很快,我们就聊了起来 —— 聊我们的徒步之行,还有他们的庄稼种植。此处修饰名词hike,应用形容词性物主代词,we的形容词性物主代词为our。故填our。
【42题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:一位山里的妇人经常邀请我们吃晚饭;一位农夫曾硬把樱桃塞进我手里;每当约翰用方言跟村民打招呼时,无数人都会报以微笑。cherry为可数名词,此处表泛指,应用复数形式。故填cherries。
【43题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:让我感到惊奇的是,在丈夫的村子里简单散步,竟会突然打开一扇扇意想不到的门,走进一颗颗淳朴的心。空格处引导主语从句,且在从句中作主语,指代“让人惊奇的事情”,应用连接代词what,句首首字母大写。故填What。
【44题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:尽管经历过往日的艰辛,他依然以乐观开朗的态度问候每一个人,让我明白微笑是孤单日子里最好的解药。根据语境及定冠词the可知,应用形容词good的最高级形式best,表“最好的”,符合文意。故填best。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:有一天,我们会为了更远大的前程离开,但我们的一部分,将永远留在这片教会我们相信人性与微笑力量的大山里。分析句子结构可知,空格前后为转折关系,应用连词but。故填but。

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Banning Mobile Phones in Class
I strongly support the school rule that bans mobile phones in class.
Mobile phones are a major distraction to our study. If students bring phones to class, they may be addicted to online games or social apps instead of listening to teachers attentively. What’s worse, some even secretly watch videos, which affects both their own grades and the class order. Without mobile phones, we can concentrate better on lessons and communicate more with classmates.
Therefore, this rule is necessary and helpful for us to form good learning habits.
【解析】
【导语】本篇书面表达要求考生就学校“禁止带手机进课堂”的规定发表看法,表明支持或反对,并结合实例说明理由。
【详解】1. 词汇积累
支持:strongly support → firmly advocate
禁止:ban → prohibit
沉迷于:be addicted to → be obsessed with

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。
Writing was my passion. I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted — Ethan transferred (转学) to our school.
Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world, and the other students didn’t know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything.
It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to share, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds.
When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher’s eyes shone with delight. “Ethan,” she said, “you have a rare gift. With your talent, you’re bound to win the upcoming writing competition.”
The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared — one that threatened to outshine mine.
That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said, “Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手) , but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out? You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours — it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something.
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。
The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch. I took a deep breath and walked towards the table where he sat alone, his nose buried in a book. “Hi, Ethan,” I said, trying to sound casual. “I really loved your essay in class. It was amazing.” He looked up, surprise flashing across his face. A small smile played on his lips as he thanked me. I then invited him to join me in preparing for the upcoming writing competition. To my relief, he agreed.
From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work. We shared our ideas, gave each other honest feedback, and encouraged one another. His unique perspective broadened my horizons, and I found my own writing improving. When the day of the competition arrived, we walked in side by side, full of confidence. In the end, we both won awards. It was a moment of pure joy. Father was right: Ethan’s light didn’t dim mine — actually, it made mine shine brighter.
【解析】
【导语】本文以作者的写作经历为线索,讲述原本是班级写作之星的作者,因转学生Ethan的出色表现受到挑战,作者感到嫉妒,后来在父亲的建议下转变态度,和Ethan互相学习、共同进步。
【详解】1. 段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“第二天午饭时,我走向了Ethan。”可知,第一段可描写作者主动与Ethan交流,夸赞他的文章并邀请他一起准备写作比赛,Ethan答应了。
②由第二段首句内容“从那天起,我和Ethan定期见面写作并讨论我们的作品。”可知,第二段可描写两人互相分享、鼓励,写作水平提升,最终在比赛中都获奖,作者真正领悟了父亲所说的话。
2. 续写线索:主动交流——邀请参赛——共同准备——比赛获奖——友谊加深

When she was in middle school, Richmonder and Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School (MLWGS) senior Anushri Ramesh desired to be a professional athlete.
The more sports Ramesh played, though, the more she noticed some things, like how her club softball team was once displaced from a practice facility for the baseball team. Then, she learned that professional female athletes often earned less than the male athletes. “It struck me that female and male sports weren’t treated equally,” Ramesh says. “If I wanted to make a career in sports, I wouldn’t be able to live the life that male athletes were paid to have.” Ramesh’s dream to bring equity to local youth sports inspired her to start We Play Too, an athlete-driven initiative that encourages girls and young people to enjoy club sports at a young age.
In 2023, Ramesh started We Play Too as a school club. Then the activity grew into its own organization, with high school athletes serving as coaches for elementary students at Henrico County and Richmond public schools. “We teach gifted students, so we often hear great ideas,” says MLWGS teacher Michael White, who served as the club’s advisor for its first two years. “But to actually turn an idea into a real charitable institution for the community needs a lot of hard work and sweat.”
We Play Too now has chapters at Deep Run, Freeman, Godwin, Henrico and Tucker high schools and has spread beyond the region to schools in Queens, New York, and Tamil Nadu, India. Ramesh estimates that more than 2,000 elementary students have participated in clubs locally, and more than 100 high schoolers have volunteered.
As the organization has grown, so has its mission. Sports can lead to college scholarship opportunities, but financial barriers often prevent kids from participating in the first place. We Play Too’s free clubs help young athletes start their careers at no cost.
Though Ramesh will move on to college next year, she sees a future for the effort. “I want to bring We Play Too to college with me, and bring it across the country,” Ramesh says.
4. What motivated Anushri Ramesh to start We Play Too?
A. The unequal treatment in youth sports.
B. The lack of sports facilities in her school.
C. Her failure to become a professional athlete.
D. Her teacher’s advice on helping elementary students.
5. What can we know from Michael White’s words?
A. Operating community-serving organizations is easy.
B. A real charitable organization needs creative ideas.
C. It takes a lot of effort to start We Play Too.
D. Doing sports isn’t accepted among the locals.
6. What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A. The difficulty in choosing schools. B. The severity of lacking volunteers.
C. The meaning of student participation. D. The influence of We Play Too.
7. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To raise funds for sports. B. To tell about a school program.
C. To advertise free sports clubs. D. To organize sports activities.
C
In medicine, a quick diagnosis (诊断) and treatment can be lifesaving. Thankfully, the tools of the future have arrived, which are now helping doctors make medical decisions as quickly as possible.
Rapid responses are particularly important in the case of strokes (中风). The severity of the impact of a stroke is often a matter of minutes. Now, according to a news release in BMJ, the NHS England has found that AI software that interprets brain scans (扫描) could increase stroke recovery rates by three times.
The technology may be able to accomplish this goal by diagnosing patients faster. The new AI software processes, interprets, and transfers images at a speed that assists doctors in making faster decisions about the right form of treatment.
A stroke, which is when blood supply to a part of the brain is stopped, can become very dangerous. According to current estimates, a person can lose 2 million brain cells (细胞) per minute at the start of a stroke. The longer a stroke goes on, the more likely it is to cause permanent damage, such as mobility, communication issues, or memory loss.
As Health Club Management Magazine reports, making the decision about how to treat a stroke and whether surgery is necessary— can take a specialist up to 30 minutes. That’s a long time when every moment matters. Luckily, a new piece of AI software has been put in all 107 stroke centers in England. This technology, which can analyze brain scans and recognize patterns that point to a stroke that doctors may not be able to recognize, can give a doctor data on the severity of a stroke, and therefore what kind of intervention it may need immediately. This has led to a reduction in the time in which patients receive treatment by an hour.

In mid-October 2025, at the IUCN Congress in Abu Dhabi, it was announced that the worldwide population of green sea turtles, aka Chelonia mydas, had grown by approximately 28% since the 1970s.
News of their recovery, after decades of decline, has been greeted with excitement by conservationists. “This is a major win for turtle conservation and proves that joint efforts can reverse populations at risk of extinction,” says Christine Madden, WWF Global Marine Turtle Conservation Lead. Brendan Godley, a turtle expert from the UK’s University of Exeter, tells Mongabay, “It stresses that marine (海洋的) conservation can work. There is hope, and we should rightly celebrate it.”
Green sea turtles are slow to reproduce, with adults only reaching maturity at an estimated 26 to 40 years of age. In addition, just 1% of young turtles survive long enough to reproduce themselves. Despite this challenge, green sea turtles, details the Smithsonian Magazine, were once so rich that during the time of Christopher Columbus, sailors could sail at night around islands by the sounds of turtles breathing and their hard shells bumping into the wooden boats.
A severe decline came about, however, because historically, humans hunted green turtles for their shells, meat and eggs. Their meat was sought out to make soup, while their eggs and shells were decorated by many cultures, decimating their populations.
Even after hunting declined, the species continued to be threatened due to entanglement (缠绕) in fishing nets, the decline of nesting beaches and ocean habitats, the impacts of invasive (侵入的) species, and factors involved in pollution, diseases and climate change.
This exciting recovery is credited to turtle conservation efforts focused on safeguarding nesting females and their eggs on beaches, and reducing the unsustainable harvest of turtles and their eggs for human consumption despite ongoing other threats such as climate change.
However, Madden warns, “Conservation efforts must continue for green turtle populations to thrive and recover in areas where they remain threatened by overfishing and loss of habitats.”
12. What is Brendan Godley’s attitude toward the conservation efforts?
A. Critical. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Uncertain.
13. Why is Christopher Columbus mentioned?
A. To stress the large number of green sea turtles in history.
B. To compare ancient and modern sailing techniques.
C. To criticize early explorers’ environmental impact.
D. To explain the turtles’ breathing mechanism.
14. What does the underlined word “decimating” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Increasing. B. Ignoring. C. Protecting. D. Destroying.
15. What does Madden try to say in the last paragraph?
A. The complete success of protecting green turtles.
B. The importance of ongoing conservation efforts.
C. The challenges to recover turtle nesting habitats.
D. The way to improve current fishing practices.

Writing was my passion. I had always been the best writer in my class. But then, the balance of my little universe shifted — Ethan transferred (转学) to our school.
Ethan was quiet. He seemed lost in his own world, and the other students didn’t know how to approach him. He was often alone, and it was clear that he felt out of place. I didn’t pay much attention at first. But then came the day that changed everything.
It was a writing class like any other, until our teacher assigned us a creative essay. I dove into my work, confident as always. When it was time to share, I listened politely as my classmates read their essays, but my mind was already racing ahead to the praise I knew would come my way. Then, Ethan’s turn arrived. He stood up, his voice soft but steady, and began to read. His words painted a picture of an old, forgotten library, where time stood still and the pages of ancient books whispered stories of forgotten worlds.
When he finished, the room fell silent. Then, thunderous applause spread across the class. Our teacher’s eyes shone with delight. “Ethan,” she said, “you have a rare gift. With your talent, you’re bound to win the upcoming writing competition.”
The words hung in the air like a challenge. I had always been the star of our literary world, but now, it seemed, a new light had appeared — one that threatened to outshine mine.
That evening, I had a talk with my father. When I finished, he sighed softly and said, “Jealousy is a thief that steals our joy. It’s easy to see Ethan as a rival (对手) , but perhaps he’s just a fellow traveler on the same journey. Instead of pushing him away, why not reach out? You might discover that his light doesn’t dim (使黯淡) yours — it only makes the world brighter.” At that moment, I seemed to realize something.
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。
The next day, I approached Ethan during lunch.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
From that day forward, Ethan and I met regularly to write and discuss our work.
