Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind. Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bad habits. And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to. Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything. I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in. 4. Why did the author say yes to things she disliked? A. To please her boss. B. To prove her profession. C. To earn herself a good reputation. D. To push herself to the limit. 5. How did the author deal with the changes in her body? A. She got rid of bad habits. B. She thought little of them. C. She slowed down her life pace. D. She paid more attention to her health. 6. What will the author do before saying yes? A. Find a cheerleader. B. Evaluate her situation. C. Breathe in some fresh air. D. Seek help from her friends. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A. Ways to Improve Time Management. B. The Dangers of Autoimmune Diseases. C. How to Build a Good Reputation at Work. D. The Importance of Saying “No” for Self-Care. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。本文讲述了作者过去总是习惯性地说“是”，即使是不喜欢的事情，导致健康出现问题。经历了一系列事件后，作者开始学会说“不”，并更加关注自己的需求和健康。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind.(这是一种取悦他人的技巧，会影响别人对我的看法：我是一个无所不能的女人，这样我才能在他们的心目中赢得一个好名声。)”可知，作者对自己不喜欢的事情说“是”，是为了在别人心目中赢得一个好名声。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”.(我的关节严重肿胀，大脑昏沉，但我还是坚持了下来，这样我才能在一天结束时看着镜子里的自己，感到“有成就感”。)”可知，作者对自己的身体变化不太在意，而是继续坚持工作。故选B项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in.(在答应之前，我会深呼吸，快速评估一下自己的精力和能力。)”可知，作者在说“是”之前会评估自己的情况。故选B项。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要讲述了作者过去总是习惯性地说“是”，导致健康出现问题，后来作者开始学会说“不”，并更加关注自己的需求和健康，故选项D“说“不”对自我照顾的重要性”能概括文章的主旨，适合作为文章的标题。故选D项。 C Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 8. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about? A. The number of friends you should have. B. The advantages of having a lot of friends. C. Some social skills you may need at work. D. Some useful advice on how to make friends. 9. What can be inferred from Dunbar’s study? A. Most social media connections fail to develop into meaningful relationships. B. The number of online friends directly determines one’s life quality. C. People with 2,000 online friends have a wider circle of close friends. D. Shared interests are the key to maintaining long-term close friendships. 10. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. 10. B. 35. C. 100. D. 150. 11. What does the text mainly want to show? A. You need to spend more time with your friends. B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. C. Friends are sometimes more important than family. D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文探讨了朋友数量与质量的关系，引用多项研究说明拥有好朋友的重要性。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段中的句子“Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. (澳大利亚的研究人员对1500人及其生活方式进行了研究，发现拥有好朋友有助于长寿。一项针对1万名学生、历时35年的美国研究也发现，如果你在学校里交的朋友比普通人多，你以后的工资会更高。)”可知，第一段提到的研究主要是关于拥有很多朋友的好处。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第三段中的句子“He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. (他发现他们最多只和150人交流。)”以及第四段中的句子“Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful. (邓巴说，超过这个数字，就不可能让任何关系变得有意义。)”可推断出，大多数社交媒体联系无法发展成有意义的关系。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段的句子“He found that they always communicate with a maximum of 150 people (他发现他们最多总是与150人交流)”以及第四段对这150人进行分层描述，结合划线短语所在的句子“Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful (Dunbar说，超过这个数字，就不可能让任何关系变得有意义)”可知，“this number”指代前文提到的150人。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。文章主要介绍了关于朋友数量和质量的研究，指出虽然人们在社交媒体上有很多“朋友”，但真正有意义的关系数量有限，强调拥有好朋友比拥有很多朋友更重要。 D From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny things. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy (喜剧) writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug 4 to 28. Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker. “We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,” said Mirowski, according to the Guardian. But one performer at the Fringe said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated (生成的) comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.” The reasons for companies wanting to use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world. Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority (优先事项) alongside... diseases and nuclear war.” 12. In what way is the Fringe unique this year? A. The AI-made jokes were very funny. B. It presented dangers to comedy writers. C. Some jokes were created by robots. D. Harry Potter fashion videos were shown. 13. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4? A. AI Jesus is an expert in jokes. B. Bazely was positive about using AI. C. Al was used to show its creativity. D. Chortle was concerned about the use of AI. 14. Why does AI present a danger in the future? A. Because many people will use AI to show off. B. Because AI can present diseases and nuclear war. C. Because well-known tech leaders will stop developing AI. D. Because some people will probably be out of work. 15. What’s the author’s attitude to the future of the AI development? A. Objective. B. Positive. C. Unclear. D. Negative. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了今年爱丁堡边缘艺术节上AI在喜剧表演中的应用及其引发的关于AI未来发展的讨论。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段的“Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans.(任何人都可以在艺穗节上表演，今年甚至连机器人都加入了这个行列。Fringe上的一个大型节目甚至使用了一个小型机器人根据观众的建议想出笑话，然后由人类表演)”可知，今年的Fringe独特之处在于一些笑话是由机器人创造的。故选C。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段的“Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated (生成的) comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.”(喜剧演员彼得·巴泽利在他的节目中扮演了一个由‘完全计算机生成的喜剧演员’AI耶稣担任主角的配角。边缘艺术节的评论网站Chortle谈到了当今的AI担忧：‘在一个艺术家担心AI最终会取代他们的工作的世界里，据说巴泽利在祈祷这一幕真的会发生。’)”可知，Bazely希望人工智能可以为他完成工作；由此可知，Bazely对AI的使用持积极的态度。故选B。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段“The reasons for companies wanting to use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world.(公司想要使用人工智能的原因当然是可以理解的，但它们给许多人的工作带来的危险越来越真实，这并不好笑。从学校和大学中对学生使用ChatGPT完成作业的担忧，到作家和演员担心AI会被用来取代他们，对AI危险的恐惧已成为全球热议的话题)”可推知，AI在未来会带来危险是因为它可能会让一些人失业。故选D。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority (优先事项) alongside... diseases and nuclear war.”(据《纽约时报》报道，早在今年3月，包括埃隆·马斯克（Elon Musk）和其他知名科技领袖在内的1000多名人工智能技术工作人员签署了一封呼吁停止先进人工智能开发6个月的信件。然后，在5月，人工智能行业的领导者签署了一份文件，警告说人工智能可能会带来灭绝的危险，‘应该成为全球优先考虑的问题……疾病和核战争’)”以及全文内容可知，本文从爱丁堡艺穗节上使用了机器人讲笑话引出人工智能的话题，阐述了节目制作者、演员、工智能行业的领导者等人的不同看法和态度，作者只是在客观地陈述事实，并没有讲述自己对人工智能的未来发展的看法，所以作者对人工智能的发展持客观态度。故选A。 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。选项中有一项为多余选项。 Ways of Studying and Learning Efficiently Choose a quiet place to study without distractions.

My world was backstage, between the tall, heavy curtains and the busy equipment tables. Among the lights and props, I knew exactly where everything was and what to do. While others shone during rehearsals (排练), I found my place quietly supporting them from behind the scenes, feeling happy to be a helpful part of the team. My drama teacher, Ms. Jenkins, noticed this. She had a way of seeing the efforts that others didn’t. One afternoon, after everyone else had left, she handed me a script (脚本) for the year-end show. “The lead role,” she said, her voice calm and certain. “I believe you have a story inside you, waiting to be told.” Her words were kind but felt like a heavy responsibility, making me stand up straighter without thinking. My heart sank. The lead role meant speaking alone in front of everyone and standing in the bright spotlight, where I couldn’t hide. “But, Ms. Jenkins,” I stammered, holding the script tightly in both hands, “I’m not an actor. I work backstage. I might ruin the play.” The thought of forgetting my lines on stage filled me with a cold fear that made my hands feel stiff. She smiled gently, and her eyes were warm and encouraging. “Sometimes, the biggest growth happens when we face our fears, not avoid them. Try to read it,” she said, looking right at me, “not just as lines, but as someone’s true feelings.” For days, the script lay unopened on my desk, a constant reminder of my anxiety, and I avoided looking at it. Hearing my confident classmates practice, their clear voices coming from the hall, only made me feel more like an outsider, as if I was standing outside a closed door, unsure if I could ever cross the gap between us. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: One evening, tired of my own worry, I finally picked up the script and began to read. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the night of the performance, standing in the dark behind the curtain, I took a deep breath. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 One evening, tired of my own worry, I finally picked up the script and began to read. To my surprise, the character’s feelings of being an outsider slowly started to make sense to me. I found myself reading his lines out loud in my quiet room. Each time, I imagined the scenes not as a performance, but as a true story I needed to tell. Ms. Jenkins stayed after school to practice with me, offering small corrections and constant encouragement. Her belief became a tiny, steady light in my growing confidence. On the night of the performance, standing in the dark behind the curtain, I took a deep breath. I could hear the murmur of the audience. My hands were cold, but my mind was clear. I remembered Ms. Jenkins’ words: “Just tell the story.” The curtain rose, and the bright lights hit my face. Though still scared, I spoke the first line. The words flowed out, not from memory, but from a place of understanding. I wasn’t just a student on a stage anymore; for those moments, I truly was the character, sharing his truth. When the final line ended, the silence was broken by warm applause. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了我是戏剧社里最安静的成员，只在幕后工作。老师看到了我的付出，让我担任主角，这让我十分害怕，不愿接受。我害怕上台表演，也怀疑自己的能力。但老师鼓励我直面恐惧、实现成长。剧本让我焦虑不已，听到同学们练习时，我更觉得自己格格不入。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“一天晚上，我厌倦了自己的焦虑，终于拿起剧本开始阅读。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：我克服焦虑开始读剧本，与角色产生共鸣，老师陪练鼓励，我逐渐建立自信。 ②由第二段首句内容“演出当晚，我站在幕布后深呼吸。”可以预测续写这段主要内容：演出当晚，我虽紧张仍牢记老师叮嘱，登台后真情演绎角色，最终收获观众热烈掌声。 2.续写线索：我开始阅读剧本——老师陪练鼓励——逐渐建立自信——登台真情演绎——收获观众掌声 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①想象：imagine/picture ②提供： offer/providet/supply ③回忆起：remember/recall 情绪类 ①惊讶：surprise/astonishment/amazement ②害怕的：scared/afraid/terrified 【点睛】[高分句型1]Ms. Jenkins stayed after school to practice with me, offering small corrections and constant encouragement.(运用了现在分词offering作状语) [高分句型2]Though still scared, I spoke the first line.(运用了状语从句的省略) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高一年级四月份英语素养能力提升 满分150分 考试时间120分钟 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话读两遍。 1.

B As a mother and a professional working full time, I spent all of my 30 years saying yes. Saying yes to things I wanted to do, but a lot of the time saying yes to things I disliked. This was a people-pleasing technique that would affect people’s opinion of me: the woman who could do it all, so that I can obtain a nice fame in their mind. Little did I know that I was also developing an autoimmune (自身免疫的) disease, which I have to believe was my body’s way of telling me to slow down. I had severely swollen joints and brain fog but I pushed through so that I could look in the mirror at the end of the day and feel “accomplished”. The only things I was accomplishing were bad health and bad habits. And then a series of events changed everything: serious medical issues and losing my job. It took all that to help me see how intensely burnt out I was. I spent a lot of time thinking about where I had to be next instead of being present in the moment. But now, I wake up each day knowing that everything on my schedule has been purposefully agreed to. Looking back, I had the capability to suffer the pressure to say yes. I also felt it necessary to say yes, from driving people to the airport to seeing family every Friday night. I always wanted to solve everyone’s problems and offered sound and immediate solutions. It was one big “yes” to everything. I was everyone’s cheerleader, but forgot how to cheer for myself along the way. But saying no is being my own cheerleader. And it’s not saying no to caring for family and friends. Instead, it’s a minor change in mindset, taking a pause before automatically agreeing. I take a breath, do a quick count of my energy and ability before jumping in. 4. Why did the author say yes to things she disliked? A. To please her boss. B. To prove her profession. C. To earn herself a good reputation. D. To push herself to the limit. 5. How did the author deal with the changes in her body? A. She got rid of bad habits. B. She thought little of them. C. She slowed down her life pace. D. She paid more attention to her health. 6. What will the author do before saying yes? A. Find a cheerleader. B. Evaluate her situation. C. Breathe in some fresh air. D. Seek help from her friends. 7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the passage? A. Ways to Improve Time Management. B. The Dangers of Autoimmune Diseases. C. How to Build a Good Reputation at Work. D. The Importance of Saying “No” for Self-Care. C Researchers in Australia, who studied 1,500 people and their lifestyles, have found that having good friends can help you live longer. An American study of 10,000 students, over a period of 35 years, also found that if you make more friends than the average (普通的) person at school, you’ll receive a higher salary (工资) in later life. People need good social skills at work to manage people and work in a team successfully. These are the same skills we use to make friends at school. On average, teenagers aged between 15 and 17 have 500 “friends” on their favourite social networking site. Adults have 130. So if you believe this research, you might live for a long time and be very rich. However, according to Professor Robin Dunbar from the University of Oxford, it probably won’t make any difference. Dunbar studied the number of messages between users of a popular social networking website, each of whom had between 200 and 2,000 friends. He found that they always communicate with a maximum (最大量) of 150 people. Among these 150, Dunbar believes that around five people are close friends. You’ve most likely known them for a long time; they are probably old friends and you share all your good and bad experiences with them. Then there are ten more friends. Although they’re close to you, you may not keep in touch with them every week. Next there are 35 people who you might spend time with because of a shared interest. You aren’t close. And finally, there’s a large group of 100. You see or speak to these people at least once a year, but you don’t know them well. Beyond this number, Dunbar says, it’s impossible to make any relationship meaningful. If you have a lot of online “friends”, try this experiment: First take away anyone you haven’t been in touch with for a year. Then remove people you can’t remember and, finally, take away friends who you wouldn’t mind losing touch with. How many do you have left? How many of these people are actually good friends? According to the research, these are the only people that really matter. 8. What are the studies mentioned in the first paragraph mainly about? A. The number of friends you should have. B. The advantages of having a lot of friends. C. Some social skills you may need at work. D. Some useful advice on how to make friends. 9. What can be inferred from Dunbar’s study? A. Most social media connections fail to develop into meaningful relationships. B. The number of online friends directly determines one’s life quality. C. People with 2,000 online friends have a wider circle of close friends. D. Shared interests are the key to maintaining long-term close friendships. 10. What does the underlined part “this number” in Paragraph 4 refer to? A. 10. B. 35. C. 100. D. 150. 11. What does the text mainly want to show? A. You need to spend more time with your friends. B. There is a lot of research on the influence of friends. C. Friends are sometimes more important than family. D. It’s more important to have good friends than lots of friends. D From AI-made jokes to Harry Potter fashion videos, AI can be used to make funny things. But can it be as funny as a human? And if it can, does it present a danger to comedy (喜剧) writers in the future? That’s something performers have been looking at in this year’s Edinburgh Festival Fringe, running from Aug 4 to 28. Anyone can put on a show at the Fringe, and this year even robots were getting in on the act. One of Fringe’s big shows even used a small robot to come up with jokes from audience suggestions, which were then performed by humans. The results could be very funny, but sometimes they weren’t funny at all. That was part of the point, explained Piotr Mirowski, the show’s co-maker. “We do not use humans to ‘show off’ AI; instead, we use AI ‘to show’ its limitations, to showcase human creativity on the stage,” said Mirowski, according to the Guardian. But one performer at the Fringe said he’s using AI to make jokes for him because he’s out of ideas. Comedian Peter Bazely’s show has him playing a supporting role to “an entirely computer-generated (生成的) comedian” called AI Jesus. The Fringe review website, Chortle, talked about today’s AI concerns: “In a world where artists are worried that AI could end up doing their jobs for them, Bazely is said to be praying this one will do exactly that.” The reasons for companies wanting to use Al are certainly understandable, but the dangers they present to many people’s jobs are becoming more and more real, and that’s not very funny. From concerns in schools and colleges about students using ChatGPT for their work, to writers and actors worrying that AI could be used to replace them, fears about the dangers of AI are a hot topic in the world. Back in March of this year, a letter calling for a six-month stop on advanced AI development was signed by over 1,000 people working with AI technologies including Elon Musk and other well-known tech leaders, reported The New York Times. Then, in May, leaders in the AI industry signed a document warning that AI could present an extinction-level danger and “should be a global priority (优先事项) alongside... diseases and nuclear war.” 12. In what way is the Fringe unique this year? A. The AI-made jokes were very funny. B. It presented dangers to comedy writers. C. Some jokes were created by robots. D. Harry Potter fashion videos were shown. 13. Which of the following is true according to Paragraph 4? A. AI Jesus is an expert in jokes. B. Bazely was positive about using AI. C. Al was used to show its creativity. D. Chortle was concerned about the use of AI. 14. Why does AI present a danger in the future? A. Because many people will use AI to show off. B.

My world was backstage, between the tall, heavy curtains and the busy equipment tables. Among the lights and props, I knew exactly where everything was and what to do. While others shone during rehearsals (排练), I found my place quietly supporting them from behind the scenes, feeling happy to be a helpful part of the team. My drama teacher, Ms. Jenkins, noticed this. She had a way of seeing the efforts that others didn’t. One afternoon, after everyone else had left, she handed me a script (脚本) for the year-end show. “The lead role,” she said, her voice calm and certain. “I believe you have a story inside you, waiting to be told.” Her words were kind but felt like a heavy responsibility, making me stand up straighter without thinking. My heart sank. The lead role meant speaking alone in front of everyone and standing in the bright spotlight, where I couldn’t hide. “But, Ms. Jenkins,” I stammered, holding the script tightly in both hands, “I’m not an actor. I work backstage. I might ruin the play.” The thought of forgetting my lines on stage filled me with a cold fear that made my hands feel stiff. She smiled gently, and her eyes were warm and encouraging. “Sometimes, the biggest growth happens when we face our fears, not avoid them. Try to read it,” she said, looking right at me, “not just as lines, but as someone’s true feelings.” For days, the script lay unopened on my desk, a constant reminder of my anxiety, and I avoided looking at it. Hearing my confident classmates practice, their clear voices coming from the hall, only made me feel more like an outsider, as if I was standing outside a closed door, unsure if I could ever cross the gap between us. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答。 Paragraph 1: One evening, tired of my own worry, I finally picked up the script and began to read. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: On the night of the performance, standing in the dark behind the curtain, I took a deep breath. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
