The boy skipped ahead excitedly, chasing a colorful butterfly flying among green leaves, his little hands waving gently as he ran. Suddenly, his foot caught on a thick root hidden under the soft grass. He tripped and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his knee. He screamed loudly in pain, only to be surprised by a clear echo from the nearby mountain — exactly his scream, lingering in the peaceful woods. Curiosity soon replaced the pain, and the boy raised his voice to call out a simple question to the mountain. But the only response was the same question ringing back from the hard rocks in the distance. Annoyed by this seemingly teasing (戏弄的) repetition, he shouted a rude word angrily, his face turning red with frustration, and the mountain echoed (回声应和) it without hesitation. Confused by the strange phenomenon that he couldn’t understand, he turned to his father, who had been watching quietly by his side, for an explanation. The father smiled gently, telling him to pay close attention. He cupped his hands to raise his voice and shouted warm praises to the mountain. Immediately, the mountain responded with the same positive words, clear and warm. The boy stared in amazement, forgetting his knee pain as his father explained the phenomenon. People call this an “echo,” but it is more than a natural sound — it reflects life itself. Life always gives back what one puts into it, a true mirror of our words and actions. To gain love, kindness or respect, we must first offer these sincerely. 4. What made the boy angry during the walk? A. Falling down. B. Missing the butterfly. C. Repetition of his words. D. Father’s failure to help. 5. Which is the correct order of the boy’s feelings? A. Surprised→Angry→Amazed→Curious B. Surprised→Curious→Angry→Amazed C. Curious→Surprised→Angry→Confused D. Curious→Confused→Amazed→Angry 6. Why did the father shout warm praises to the mountain? A. To calm his son down. B. To teach his son a truth. C. To show his love for nature. D. To make fun of the phenomenon. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. No pain, no gain. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Do well and have well. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】4. C 5. B 6. B 7. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇哲理故事类记叙文。文章讲述了父亲带儿子在森林散步时，儿子意外发现回声现象，父亲借此教会儿子“生活如回声，付出什么就会得到什么”的人生道理。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Annoyed by this seemingly teasing (戏弄的) repetition, he shouted a rude word angrily, his face turning red with frustration, and the mountain echoed (回声应和) it without hesitation.(他被这看似戏弄人的反复回声惹恼，气愤地骂了一句，脸因挫败涨得通红，而大山毫不犹豫地回声应和。)”可知，男孩因为自己的话被不断重复而生气。故选C项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He screamed loudly in pain, only to be surprised by a clear echo from the nearby mountain — exactly his scream, lingering in the peaceful woods.(他疼得大声尖叫，不料却被附近山中传来的清晰回声吓了一跳——那正是他的尖叫声，在宁静的树林里久久回荡。)”、第三段“Curiosity soon replaced the pain, and the boy raised his voice to call out a simple question to the mountain.(很快，好奇心取代了疼痛，男孩提高嗓门，对着大山大声问了一个简单的问题。)”、“Annoyed by this seemingly teasing (戏弄的) repetition, he shouted a rude word angrily, his face turning red with frustration, and the mountain echoed (回声应和) it without hesitation.(他被这看似戏弄的重复激怒了，气得涨红了脸，愤怒地骂了一句脏话，而大山也毫不犹豫地将这句话回声应和了回去。)”、和第四段“The boy stared in amazement, forgetting his knee pain as his father explained the phenomenon.(男孩惊愕地瞪大了眼睛，在父亲为他解释这一现象时，早已忘了膝盖的疼痛。)”可知，男孩的情绪变化顺序是惊讶→好奇→生气→惊讶。故选B项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“People call this an “echo,” but it is more than a natural sound — it reflects life itself. Life always gives back what one puts into it, a true mirror of our words and actions.(人们称这为“回声”，但它不仅仅是一种自然声音——它反映了生活本身。生活总会回馈我们所付出的一切，是我们言行的真实“镜子”。)”可知，父亲特意向大山喊温暖的赞美，是为了借助回声现象，让儿子直观理解“付出什么就会得到什么”的人生道理，故选B项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文特别是最后一段“To gain love, kindness or respect, we must first offer these sincerely.(想要得到爱、善良或尊重，我们必须先真诚地付出这些。)”可知，这个故事核心是传递“付出与回报相对应”的道理，而“Do well and have well”意为“善有善报”，与故事主旨一致。故选C项。 C The ordinary-seeming act of picking up a T-shirt and folding it into a neat square requires a surprisingly complex understanding of how objects move in three dimensions. Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks. A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple (变皱). Think about all the times you’ve thrown a T-shirt into the laundry basket and how it landed in a slightly different-shaped heap each time. It’s simple for people to pick up a shirt and quickly find a sleeve or collar to orient themselves, but every unique way a shirt crumples is a new challenge for robots, which are often trained on images of unwrinkled clothing lying flat on a surface, with all features visible. “It’s not the fabric itself that is the challenge. It’s the number of variations that can be created by the way fabric can be crumpled,” says David Held, a robotics researcher. Once they have been trained on a fabric’s properties, many robotic systems use a folding strategy called “pick and place”, where the robot uses computer vision technology to identify a specific point on a shirt like the left sleeve, then pick up that point and place it down at a different specified point like the right sleeve. In these models, the origin, destination and trajectory (轨迹) of the movement are predetermined based on assumed properties of the fabric, such as stretch and weight. Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment — such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can’t change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly. 8. Why do robots perform poorly in folding tasks? A. They struggle to apply learning. B. They fail to know the fabric. C. They lack the relevant training. D. They can’t observe new situations. 9. What makes robots’ learning to fold clothes difficult? A. The ways that people pick up their T-shirts. B. Countless fabric variations from crumpling. C. Very few images about unwrinkled clothing. D. Different assumed properties of the fabric. 10. What can we know about the strategy called “pick and place”? A. It is highly effective. B. It can adapt to changes. C. It ignores fabric’s weight. D. It has certain shortcomings. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. Robot’s Big Challenge: Folding Clothes B. Pick and Place: A Common Robot Strategy C. Humans’ Natural Ability to Fold Clothes D. The Endless Possibilities of Home Robots 【答案】8. A 9. B 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要探讨了机器人在叠衣服这一任务上所面临的挑战。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training.(我们自身能够顺利完成此类任务，是因为我们已经掌握了不同布料在折叠时的反应规律，即便我们此前从未叠过这些衣服（面料），但机器人却难以将所学知识应用到与训练环境不同的新情境中去)”可知，机器人表现不佳的原因在于它们难以将所学的东西应用到与训练时不同的新情况中。故选A。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple (变皱).(在教机器人掌握这项技能的过程中，最大的难题在于各种织物会以无数种方式发生褶皱)”可知，机器人学习叠衣服的一个大挑战在于织物因变皱而产生的无数种形态变化。故选B。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment — such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can’t change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly.(尽管这听起来可能很简单，但这种方法限制了机器人适应环境实时变化的能力——比如一条裤子的实际重量比预期的要重很多，或者一个纽扣会挡住操作路径。如果出现这类复杂情况，系统就无法改变其运行轨迹来正确完成折叠动作)”可知，虽然“抓放”策略听起来简单直接，但它限制了机器人适应环境变化的能力。这说明该策略存在缺点。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks.(我们自身能够顺利完成此类任务，是因为我们已经掌握了不同织物在折叠时的反应规律，即便我们此前从未叠过这些衣服（面料），但机器人却难以将所学知识应用到与训练环境不同的新情境中。因此，目前的机器人动作迟缓，即便是在最简单的折叠任务中也常常表现不佳)”以及文章始终围绕“机器人叠衣服所面临的巨大挑战”这一核心主题展开，因此A项“机器人的重大挑战：折叠衣物”最符合文章标题。故选A。 D When people see me today, they often think my path was paved with high-tech success. However, the most important lessons of my life didn’t come from a computer lab; they came from a Denny’s restaurant in a small town. My family had immigrated to the United States when I was a child, and we didn’t have much. As a teenager, I was quite shy and struggled to fit in. To support myself and gain some confidence, I took a job as a dishwasher and a waiter. It was a humble beginning, but it was there that I learned the value of hard work and the importance of serving others. In that busy kitchen, there was no room for excuses. If the dishes weren’t clean, the whole system stopped. I had to be organized, fast, and, most importantly, resilient. I remember the heat of the kitchen and the constant pressure of a Friday night rush. My manager once told me that excellence isn’t an act, but a habit. I took that to heart. I realized that even the smallest task, like cleaning a table or mopping a floor, deserved my full attention and effort. This mindset of “doing your best at whatever you do” became the foundation of my professional life. Later, when I moved on to study electrical engineering, I carried those lessons with me. I wasn’t the smartest student in the room, but I was certainly the most persistent. I treated my difficult coding assignments with the same focus I had given to those restaurant shifts. I learned that innovation is often just the result of staying with a problem longer than anyone else is willing to. My childhood taught me that your background doesn’t define your future; your work ethic does. Today, as I lead a company at the center of the AI revolution, I still think of myself as that boy in the kitchen, always ready to work hard and keep learning. 12. What did the manager’s words lead the author to understand? A. Confidence in one’s abilities leads to excellence B. One should focus energy only on the most critical tasks C. Repeatedly practising a skill builds lasting muscle memory D. Every task, no matter how small, deserves one’s best effort 13. How did the author approach his university engineering studies? A. By relying on his strong natural intelligence B. By bringing the same persistence he had in the kitchen C. By choosing simpler assignments to build confidence first D. By learning directly from experienced senior engineers 14. According to the author, what is innovation most closely linked to? A. The willingness to endure when others have already given up B. Receiving formal training in engineering or technology C. Collaborating closely with a talented and driven team D. Being placed in the right environment at the right time 15. What is the main message the author conveys in this passage? A. Moving to a new country creates the best chance of success B. Natural talent is always less important than hard work C. Lessons from a humble start can shape one’s entire career D. Working in the service industry is the best form of education 【答案】12. D 13. B 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。讲述了作者以移民家庭为起点到成长为AI领域领军人物的经历，强调了早年在餐厅学到的勤奋、坚持等品质对其职业生涯的深远影响。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“My manager once told me that excellence isn’t an act, but a habit. I took that to heart. I realized that even the smallest task, like cleaning a table or mopping a floor, deserved my full attention and effort. (我的经理曾告诉我，卓越不是一种行为，而是一种习惯。我把这句话铭记于心。我意识到，即使是最微小的任务，比如擦桌子或拖地，也值得我全身心的关注和努力)”可知，经理的话让作者明白，无论任务多么渺小，都值得付出最大的努力。故选D。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Later, when I moved on to study electrical engineering, I carried those lessons with me. I wasn’t the smartest student in the room, but I was certainly the most persistent. I treated my difficult coding assignments with the same focus I had given to those restaurant shifts. (后来，当我学习电气工程时，我把这些经验教训带在了身上。我不是班里最聪明的学生，但我肯定是最执着的。我用对待餐厅轮班时的专注，来完成那些困难的编程作业)”可知，作者用在餐厅工作时的坚持和专注来对待大学的工程学习。故选B。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“I learned that innovation is often just the result of staying with a problem longer than anyone else is willing to. (我明白了，创新往往就是比其他人更愿意坚持钻研一个问题而产生的结果)”可知，作者认为创新与“比别人更愿意坚持、不放弃”紧密相关。故选A。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。第一段点明作者如今的成功看似源于高科技，但人生最重要的教训来自小镇的Denny’s餐厅；第二段讲述了作者在餐厅工作学到的勤奋、专注的道理；第三段讲述作者把这些品质带入大学学习与职场，最终成为AI领域的领导者。由此可知，“Lessons from a humble start can shape one’s entire career (从平凡起步所积累的经验能够决定一个人的整个职业生涯走向)”最能概括全文主旨。故选C。 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。 Eco-friendly ways to water your garden Whether you’re trying to prevent your lawn becoming a desert, or want to keep your plants healthy, saving water in your garden can save you money. Saving water in the garden helps us live more sustainably to protect our planet, with the added benefit of cutting your house bills. ____16____. When to water It’s all in the timing-water in the early hours of the morning to reduce evaporation. The water will sink deeper into the soil and keep your thirsty plant happy for the whole day. ____17____. If you water in the midday heat you run the risk of scorching your plants and damaging them. Recycle water Think of all the water we tip away down the drain, whether from washing-up or even bathwater. But this domestic wastewater, or grey water, may also be used in the garden. ____18____, but leaves very dirty or greasy water for the more rugged plants such as trees and shrubs, and don’t reuse water containing bleach (漂白剂) and cleaning products. You can also get greywater systems installed which collect waste water from your house and store it, providing a source for irrigation. ____19____ Admittedly the British weather can be unpredictable, but if you are expecting an impending heatwave, hold off on cutting the lawn. By giving your lawn mower a rest and allowing the grass to grow slightly longer than usual grass stays a lot greener in dry conditions. Reducing the amount of weeding you do can also keep your lawn looking healthier as drought-resistant clovers and trefoils don’t turn yellow when they are short of water. The bigger the better ____20____. They also provide roots with more space to grow and absorb water and nutrients. The smaller the pot, the more diligent you need to be monitoring soil moisture levels. A. Let your lawn grow longer B. This may sound crazy to some C. Reduce the amount of watering D. Bigger plant pots mean more water can be stored E. Plus this will encourage root growth beneath the surface F. Using the tips below will help you better manage your garden G. Washing-up liquid or ordinary soap won’t do any harm to your garden 【答案】16. F 17. E 18. G 19. A 20.

This is a lesson I learned all too well. My name is Alex and at 15 years old, I excelled academically yet longed for popularity among my peers (同龄人). Despite my achievements. I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a terrible mistake. One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned missing computer parts. Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab. "It's possible to open that lock with another key," I said, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Eyes turned to me with interest. It was a rush I'd never felt before—a taste of the attention I wanted so much. To keep it, I even showed how the lock could be opened. Little did I realise, that single moment of pride would lead to an unexpected trouble. The following day, I was called to the principal's office. My heart pounded as I entered. Mr Clark, the principal, looked at me not with anger, but with a calm and kind expression. "Alex," he began gently, "some computer parts are missing from the lab. A few students mentioned you showed them how the lock could be opened. Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" His voice was soft, not accusing. Still, nervousness tightened my throat. I knew I hadn't taken anything, but I was scared of being misunderstood and ashamed of my own foolish boast (吹嘘). I tried to speak, but no words came out. My eyes grew wet with tears. Seeing this, Mr Clark said quietly, "It's okay. You don't have to answer now. If you remember anything later, you can come tell me." He gave me a kind nod and let me return to class. That evening, I told my dad everything—how I had shown off about the lock, how I was called to the office, and how I was too upset to explain myself clearly. 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。 Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience changed how I saw myself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." The next morning, he came to school with me. With his support, I calmly explained everything to Mr Clark. I admitted I had shown off about the lock, but I also firmly stated that I never took anything. After hearing my explanation, Mr Clark nodded thoughtfully and suggested we go check the lab together. We went with the lab teacher to look again—and there were the missing parts, left behind by another student who had forgotten to return them. That experience changed how I saw myself. I stopped trying to show off to get my classmates' attention. Instead, I spent my free time helping others with maths and joined the school's computer club. When peers asked about the incident, I told the whole story honestly—including my regret. No one looked down on me; in fact, several of them started spending more time with me. I finally learned that real trust doesn't come from showing off, but from being sincere, reliable, and true to yourself. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述15岁的 “我”学业优秀但渴望在同龄人中受欢迎。在信息技术实验室，老师提及电脑零件丢失，“我”为吸引注意炫耀能打开实验室的锁。次日，“我“被校长叫到办公室询问，因紧张害怕未解释清楚。当晚，“我”将此事告知父亲。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“爸爸静静地听着，然后告诉我：“我们都会犯错，但勇敢的人会去弥补过错。””可知，第一段续写应围绕父亲的鼓励展开，描述在父亲陪伴下，“我” 向校长解释清楚事情，最后发现是其他同学遗忘零件导致误会。 ②由第二段首句内容“那次经历改变了我对自己的看法”可知，第二段，续写要体现这次经历对 “我” 的改变，“我”不再炫耀，而是通过帮助他人和参加社团展现真实自己，从而收获信任和友谊，领悟到真诚和可靠的重要性。 2.续写线索：在父亲帮助下向校长解释——误会解除——“我”改变行为方式——领悟到真诚的意义 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①承认：admit /confess ②解释：explain /clarify ③检查： check /examine 情绪类： ①平静地：calmly /peacefully ②诚实地：honestly /trustily 【点睛】【高分句型 1】When peers asked about the incident, I told the whole story honestly—including my regret.（运用了when引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型 2】I finally learned that real trust doesn't come from showing off, but from being sincere, reliable, and true to yourself.（运用 that 引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 乐平一中2025-2026学年下学期期中考试 高三英语试卷 时长：120分钟 总分：150分 座位号 注意事项： 1．答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡和试卷捕定住里上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡时应题目的答案标号涂累。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。田答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上，写在木试卷上无效。 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30分） 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上，录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上. 第一节（共5小题；每小题1.5分，满分7.5分） 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，每段对话读两通。 例：How much is the shirt？ A.£19.15.

B On a sunny weekend, a man took his 10-year-old son for a walk in a quiet forest. The boy skipped ahead excitedly, chasing a colorful butterfly flying among green leaves, his little hands waving gently as he ran. Suddenly, his foot caught on a thick root hidden under the soft grass. He tripped and fell to the ground, a sharp pain shooting through his knee. He screamed loudly in pain, only to be surprised by a clear echo from the nearby mountain — exactly his scream, lingering in the peaceful woods. Curiosity soon replaced the pain, and the boy raised his voice to call out a simple question to the mountain. But the only response was the same question ringing back from the hard rocks in the distance. Annoyed by this seemingly teasing (戏弄的) repetition, he shouted a rude word angrily, his face turning red with frustration, and the mountain echoed (回声应和) it without hesitation. Confused by the strange phenomenon that he couldn’t understand, he turned to his father, who had been watching quietly by his side, for an explanation. The father smiled gently, telling him to pay close attention. He cupped his hands to raise his voice and shouted warm praises to the mountain. Immediately, the mountain responded with the same positive words, clear and warm. The boy stared in amazement, forgetting his knee pain as his father explained the phenomenon. People call this an “echo,” but it is more than a natural sound — it reflects life itself. Life always gives back what one puts into it, a true mirror of our words and actions. To gain love, kindness or respect, we must first offer these sincerely. 4. What made the boy angry during the walk? A. Falling down. B. Missing the butterfly. C. Repetition of his words. D. Father’s failure to help. 5. Which is the correct order of the boy’s feelings? A. Surprised→Angry→Amazed→Curious B. Surprised→Curious→Angry→Amazed C. Curious→Surprised→Angry→Confused D. Curious→Confused→Amazed→Angry 6. Why did the father shout warm praises to the mountain? A. To calm his son down. B. To teach his son a truth. C. To show his love for nature. D. To make fun of the phenomenon. 7. What can we learn from the story? A. No pain, no gain. B. Practice makes perfect. C. Do well and have well. D. Actions speak louder than words. C The ordinary-seeming act of picking up a T-shirt and folding it into a neat square requires a surprisingly complex understanding of how objects move in three dimensions. Our own ease in accomplishing such tasks comes from a learned understanding of how different fabrics will respond when folded, even if we haven’t folded them before, but it’s difficult for robots to apply what they learn to new situations that may differ from their training. As a result, current robots are slow and often perform poorly on even the simplest of folding tasks. A big challenge in teaching robots the skill is the countless ways that various fabrics can crumple (变皱). Think about all the times you’ve thrown a T-shirt into the laundry basket and how it landed in a slightly different-shaped heap each time. It’s simple for people to pick up a shirt and quickly find a sleeve or collar to orient themselves, but every unique way a shirt crumples is a new challenge for robots, which are often trained on images of unwrinkled clothing lying flat on a surface, with all features visible. “It’s not the fabric itself that is the challenge. It’s the number of variations that can be created by the way fabric can be crumpled,” says David Held, a robotics researcher. Once they have been trained on a fabric’s properties, many robotic systems use a folding strategy called “pick and place”, where the robot uses computer vision technology to identify a specific point on a shirt like the left sleeve, then pick up that point and place it down at a different specified point like the right sleeve. In these models, the origin, destination and trajectory (轨迹) of the movement are predetermined based on assumed properties of the fabric, such as stretch and weight. Though it may sound straightforward, the approach limits the ability of robots to adapt to real-time changes in the environment — such as a pair of pants being far heavier than expected, or a button getting in the way. If such complications arise, the system can’t change its trajectory to complete a fold correctly. 8. Why do robots perform poorly in folding tasks? A. They struggle to apply learning. B. They fail to know the fabric. C. They lack the relevant training. D. They can’t observe new situations. 9. What makes robots’ learning to fold clothes difficult? A. The ways that people pick up their T-shirts. B. Countless fabric variations from crumpling. C. Very few images about unwrinkled clothing. D. Different assumed properties of the fabric. 10. What can we know about the strategy called “pick and place”? A. It is highly effective. B. It can adapt to changes. C. It ignores fabric’s weight. D. It has certain shortcomings. 11. What may be the best title for the text? A. Robot’s Big Challenge: Folding Clothes B. Pick and Place: A Common Robot Strategy C. Humans’ Natural Ability to Fold Clothes D. The Endless Possibilities of Home Robots D When people see me today, they often think my path was paved with high-tech success. However, the most important lessons of my life didn’t come from a computer lab; they came from a Denny’s restaurant in a small town. My family had immigrated to the United States when I was a child, and we didn’t have much. As a teenager, I was quite shy and struggled to fit in. To support myself and gain some confidence, I took a job as a dishwasher and a waiter. It was a humble beginning, but it was there that I learned the value of hard work and the importance of serving others. In that busy kitchen, there was no room for excuses. If the dishes weren’t clean, the whole system stopped. I had to be organized, fast, and, most importantly, resilient. I remember the heat of the kitchen and the constant pressure of a Friday night rush. My manager once told me that excellence isn’t an act, but a habit. I took that to heart. I realized that even the smallest task, like cleaning a table or mopping a floor, deserved my full attention and effort. This mindset of “doing your best at whatever you do” became the foundation of my professional life. Later, when I moved on to study electrical engineering, I carried those lessons with me. I wasn’t the smartest student in the room, but I was certainly the most persistent. I treated my difficult coding assignments with the same focus I had given to those restaurant shifts.

This is a lesson I learned all too well. My name is Alex and at 15 years old, I excelled academically yet longed for popularity among my peers (同龄人). Despite my achievements. I felt overshadowed and unnoticed. The desire to stand out consumed me, pushing me towards a terrible mistake. One day, during a visit to the IT lab with my friends, our teacher mentioned missing computer parts. Curious glances exchanged, everyone wondered aloud how it could happen in a locked lab. "It's possible to open that lock with another key," I said, seeking attention and admiration from my peers. Eyes turned to me with interest. It was a rush I'd never felt before—a taste of the attention I wanted so much. To keep it, I even showed how the lock could be opened. Little did I realise, that single moment of pride would lead to an unexpected trouble. The following day, I was called to the principal's office. My heart pounded as I entered. Mr Clark, the principal, looked at me not with anger, but with a calm and kind expression. "Alex," he began gently, "some computer parts are missing from the lab. A few students mentioned you showed them how the lock could be opened. Can you tell me what happened yesterday?" His voice was soft, not accusing. Still, nervousness tightened my throat. I knew I hadn't taken anything, but I was scared of being misunderstood and ashamed of my own foolish boast (吹嘘). I tried to speak, but no words came out. My eyes grew wet with tears. Seeing this, Mr Clark said quietly, "It's okay. You don't have to answer now. If you remember anything later, you can come tell me." He gave me a kind nod and let me return to class. That evening, I told my dad everything—how I had shown off about the lock, how I was called to the office, and how I was too upset to explain myself clearly. 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。 Dad listened quietly and then told me, "We all make mistakes, but brave people fix them." ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ That experience changed how I saw myself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
