His decades of hands-on experience have established him as a master in the field. Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. “In the beginning, local workers had no awareness of material dangers. Safety consciousness was very low,” Chen recounted, citing an astonishing incident where a local worker casually placed bags of explosives on the ground. “I stopped him immediately and patiently explained the risks, emphasizing that they must be handled gently and never thrown so casually,” he added. Training methods have since evolved significantly. “We break down complex procedures into simple steps and use Portuguese mnemonics (memory aids). Now, we can train a competent operator within a month,” Chen said. Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official language. “Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused!” Chen remarked on the initial language barrier. He carried a notebook constantly, jotting down new words and phrases learned from local workers, diligently reviewing them each night. Within two months, Chen was proficient enough to assign tasks to Angolan staff in Portuguese. His practical communication skills proved highly effective. “Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” Beyond Portuguese for daily operations, Chen also uses English to communicate with project owners and supervisors. He now routinely greets local workers on site in Portuguese every morning. Chen stressed the critical importance of clear communication and genuinely resolving issues for Angolan staff. “If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected,” he said. This consistent approach has earned Chen deep trust among his Angolan colleagues, who frequently hail him as “our good captain from China”. 4. What were the two challenges Chen faced at the early stage of the project? A. Lack of funding and remote location. B. Shortfall of skilled labor and technical resources. C. Outdated equipment and harsh climate conditions. D. Ineffective training methods and language barriers. 5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mainly suggest? A. Gesturing alone is insufficient for precise communication. B. Cultural differences are the toughest problem in the overseas project. C. Physical distance is no longer a barrier in modern engineering projects. D. Language barriers can create more obstacles than geographical separation. 6. Which statement best captures Chen’s philosophy on workplace communication? A. English is essential for daily task assignment. B. Language accuracy should be given the first priority. C. Being understood is more important than being perfect. D. Verbal communication alone is sufficient for most situations 7. What can be inferred about Chen’s success in Angola? A. It reflects China’s superior training system. B. It mainly results from his technical expertise. C. It depends on his willingness to work with local staff. D. It shows English’s importance in international projects. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了中国工程师陈剑峰在安哥拉一水电站项目克服初期挑战，通过创新培训、学习葡萄牙语打破语言障碍，并以务实沟通赢得当地团队信任的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. (在项目艰难的初期阶段，陈剑峰抵达了安哥拉。他面临一个严峻的问题：该偏远地区缺乏熟练工人，而且获取技术资源的渠道也很有限。)”可知，项目初期陈剑峰面临的两大挑战是熟练工人短缺和技术资源匮乏。故选B项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线句“Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused! (有时，最遥远的距离并非是不同半球之间的距离，而是当我在你面前疯狂地比划着，而你却完全一头雾水！)”可知，该句通过对比“半球距离”（地理分隔）和“比划却无法沟通”（语言障碍），表明语言障碍可能比地理分隔造成更多阻碍。故选D项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中““Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” (陈剑峰说：“语言学习并非追求完美，而是要被理解。将它与手势相结合，以达到最高效率。”)”可知，最能体现陈剑峰职场沟通理念的陈述是“被理解比追求完美更重要”。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. (他迅速启动了密集的专业培训项目。)”、第三段中“Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official language. (认识到沟通的重要性，陈剑峰致力于学习葡萄牙语，这是该国的官方语言。)”和最后一段中“If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected (如果员工发现工资发放有误，我会立即与人力资源部门核实，并确保问题得到解决。)”可知，陈剑峰培训当地工人、学习语言、积极为员工解决薪资问题，展现了主动融入、赋能本地团队的协作精神。由此推知，他在安哥拉的成功依赖于他愿意与当地员工协作的意愿。故选C项。 In a twist of modern consumer psychology, we are now comfortable injecting synthetic (人工合成的) substances into our faces, yet shy away from the thought of putting them in our mouths. While we embrace synthetics when it comes to beauty, we continue to draw the line at our lunch. Alternative proteins, from plant-based fake meat to lab-grown meat, struggle for public acceptance despite clear benefits, including far lower greenhouse gas emissions and no animal welfare issues. One explanation for this is our strange admiration for “natural” as shorthand for purity, authenticity and safety. This preference is known as the “naturalness bias” in psychology and it underlies why we draw back from “synthetic meat” even when it is less risky than industrial farming. This preference isn’t unreasonable so much as old-fashioned. For early humans, avoiding unfamiliar food was a survival tool, as a strong disgust response protected us against taking polluted food. But our instincts(本能) haven’t kept pace with innovation and what is now considered the “natural” choice may be the one carrying significant risk. If we are to meet the protein needs of a global population approaching 10 billion by mid-century, food innovation isn’t a choice, but a necessity. Livestock farming’s land use, water consumption and emissions footprints are unsustainable at scale. Cultivated meat is reasonable alternative, but consumer scepticism, fueled by outdated beliefs, is slowing their adoption. One way forward is transparency (透明度): explaining alternative protein production processes to consumers and linking these to familiar ones like cheese-making or beer-brewing. Equally, we must be willing to break the myth that meat, as it is consumed today, is somehow “natural”. A typical supermarket pack of sausages is the result of a long process involving feed additives, genetic selection and industrial killing. If we are uncomfortable with the word “synthetic”, we might do well to consider what traditional meat production actually contains. Our bias towards the natural once kept us alive. Now it may be preventing us from embracing the very technologies that are essential to our long-term food security, environmental stability and even public health. After all, if we have welcomed synthetics into our lives and our bodies, perhaps it is time to extend that pragmatism(实用主义) to our plates. 8. What does the author mean by “a twist of modern consumer psychology”? A. Psychology studies have taken a new turn in consumer research. B. People’s psychology has now become twisted and complicated. C. Alternative proteins are beneficial yet undesirable among consumers. D. Consumers hold contradictory attitudes towards synthetics in different products. 9. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true about the “naturalness bias”? A. It has been easily overcome by recent food innovations. B. It is a completely unreasonable fear of new technology. C. It protects people from significant risks in the modern food system. D. It was once a logical survival tool but may be unsuitable nowadays. 10. What is a recommended approach to increasing public acceptance of alternative proteins? A. Making the unfamiliar production process more understandable. B. Focusing on balancing the flavour just like conventional meat. C. Maintaining the myth about their production to avoid public fear. D. Adapting their production process to be more industrial and efficient. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude towards alternative proteins? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Uncertain. D. Neutral. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. A 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇议论文。文章分析消费者对合成物质的矛盾态度，指出天然偏好阻碍替代蛋白推广，提出解决办法并支持其助力粮食安全等长远发展。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“we are now comfortable injecting synthetic substances into our faces, yet shy away from the thought of putting them in our mouths.(如今，我们乐于将人工合成物质注入面部，却对将其吃进嘴里的想法避之不及。)”可知，“a twist of modern consumer psychology”指的是消费者对不同产品中的合成物质持有矛盾的态度。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For early humans, avoiding unfamiliar food was a survival tool, as a strong disgust response protected us against taking polluted food.(对早期人类而言，避开不熟悉的食物是一种生存手段，强烈的排斥反应能保护我们不摄入受污染的食物。)” 以及第三段“But our instincts(本能) haven’t kept pace with innovation and what is now considered the “natural” choice may be the one carrying significant risk.(但我们的本能并未跟上创新的步伐，如今被认为是“天然”的选择反而可能存在极大风险。)”可知，“天然偏好”曾经是合理的生存工具，但如今已经不合时宜。故选D项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“One way forward is transparency: explaining alternative protein production processes to consumers and linking these to familiar ones like cheese-making or beer-brewing.(解决问题的一个方法是提高透明度：向消费者解释替代蛋白的生产过程，并将其与人们熟悉的奶酪制作或啤酒酿造流程联系起来。)”可知，提升公众对替代蛋白接受度的推荐方法是让陌生的生产流程变得通俗易懂。故选A项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“ If we are to meet the protein needs of a global population approaching 10 billion by mid-century, food innovation isn’t a choice, but a necessity. Livestock farming’s land use, water consumption and emissions footprints are unsustainable at scale Cultivated meat are reasonable alternatives, but consumer scepticism, fueled by outdated beliefs, is slowing their adoption.(若要在本世纪中叶满足全球近100亿人口的蛋白质需求，食品创新并非可选项，而是必由之路。畜牧业在土地占用、水资源消耗及排放足迹方面的规模效应已难以为继。培养肉是合理的替代方案，但受陈旧观念驱使的消费者疑虑，正阻碍其推广应用。)”以及最后一段“After all, if we have welcomed synthetics into our lives and our bodies, perhaps it is time to extend that pragmatism (实用主义) to our plates.(毕竟，既然我们早已接纳人工合成物质融入生活、进入身体，或许现在是时候将这份实用主义延伸到餐桌之上了。)”可知，作者认为替代蛋白是解决未来粮食问题的必要选择，对其持支持态度。故选A项。 Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers-led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind-said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 12. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 13. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian. 14. What do the inventions have in common? A. They are AI-driven technology tools. B. They are developed by Facebook. C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They focus on health issues. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14.

Buried under piles of papers and burning the midnight oil almost every night, I kept telling myself that I must work harder to realize my dream of entering a top university. I tried every method known: making detailed timetables, reciting vocabulary till midnight, and redoing wrong questions. However, despite my persistent efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. Time and time again, I received disappointing test scores. The red marks on the paper were like sharp knives, piercing my heart and making me feel completely defeated. One Friday afternoon, after getting yet another discouraging school report, I locked myself in my room. Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably as I stared at the low grades. I began to doubt my own ability, wondering if I was actually smart enough to make it. “Maybe I should just give up,” I whispered to myself, feeling exhausted and hopeless. Just when I was drowning in self-pity, my deskmate, Li Hua, noticed my absence from the classroom. He tracked me down at home and knocked gently on my door. When I finally opened it, with red and swollen eyes, he didn’t say a word of blame. Instead, he handed me a cup of hot milk and sat beside me quietly. After letting me calm down for a moment, he shared his own struggle with math, admitting that he had also wanted to quit many times. Then, looking me straight in the eyes, he said softly but firmly: “The process is more important than the result. Keep going, and you will see the change sooner or later.” These simple yet powerful words were like a ray of sunshine, breaking through the dark clouds of my mind. They touched my heart deeply and pulled me out of the abyss of negativity. I took a deep breath, wiped away my tears, and silently made up my mind to hold on to my dream. 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。 Paragraph 1 I made a detailed study plan and started to change my learning methods. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 With my continuous efforts, I finally made significant progress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 I made a detailed study plan and started to change my learning methods. Instead of blindly reciting and redoing questions, I began to analyze my mistakes carefully, noting down the reasons and summarizing key knowledge points. I asked teachers for help whenever I encountered difficulties, and Li Hua and I studied together after class, discussing problems and sharing learning skills. I also adjusted my schedule, ensuring enough rest to avoid burnout. Every day, I stuck to the plan firmly, step by step, no longer anxious about the results but focusing on every small progress. With my continuous efforts, I finally made significant progress. In the next exam, my scores improved greatly, and the red marks on the paper were no longer sharp knives but a reminder of my hard work. When I saw the report, a big smile appeared on my face, and tears of joy rolled down. I told Li Hua the good news immediately, and he was as happy as I was. I realized that persistence and correct methods are the keys to success. From then on, I became more confident, knowing that as long as I keep going, I will eventually realize my dream. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述升入高二后，“我”为考上顶尖大学拼命学习，用尽方法却成绩不佳，一次次失利让“我”崩溃想放弃。同桌李华找到失落的“我”，暖心安慰并分享自身经历，鼓励“我”过程比结果重要。这番话让“我”深受触动，重新振作，决心坚持追梦。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由续写第一段首句“我制定了详细的学习计划，并开始改变学习方法。”可以预测续写第一段主要内容：“我”调整学习方法与作息，认真分析错题、请教老师、和同学互助，踏实坚持，专注点滴进步。 ②由第二段首句“经过不断努力，我终于取得了显著进步。”可以预测续写第二段主要内容：通过不懈努力，“我”成绩大幅提升，收获喜悦，也懂得坚持与方法的重要，变得更加自信。 2.续写线索：调整学习方法与作息——向老师和同学求助——取得显著进步——喜悦——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①.遇见： encounter/come across ②.调整：adjust/modify ③.专注于：focus on/concentrate on 情绪类 ①.焦虑的：nervous /anxious /worried ②.高兴：joy/happiness/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1].

Chen Jianfeng, a 53-year-old Chinese engineer, has spent the past nine years at the Caculo-Cabaca Hydropower Project in Angola, one of Angola’s key energy projects. His decades of hands-on experience have established him as a master in the field. Arriving in Angola during the project’s challenging early phase, Chen faced a critical issue: a severe shortage of proficient workers and limited access to technical resources in the remote area. He swiftly initiated intensive professional training programs. “In the beginning, local workers had no awareness of material dangers. Safety consciousness was very low,” Chen recounted, citing an astonishing incident where a local worker casually placed bags of explosives on the ground. “I stopped him immediately and patiently explained the risks, emphasizing that they must be handled gently and never thrown so casually,” he added. Training methods have since evolved significantly. “We break down complex procedures into simple steps and use Portuguese mnemonics (memory aids). Now, we can train a competent operator within a month,” Chen said. Recognizing communication as vital, Chen dedicated himself to learning Portuguese, the country’s official language. “Sometimes the longest distance isn’t the miles between hemispheres, but me gesturing frantically in front of you while you remain utterly confused!” Chen remarked on the initial language barrier. He carried a notebook constantly, jotting down new words and phrases learned from local workers, diligently reviewing them each night. Within two months, Chen was proficient enough to assign tasks to Angolan staff in Portuguese. His practical communication skills proved highly effective. “Language learning isn’t about perfection,” Chen said, “It’s about being understood. Combine it with gestures for maximum efficiency.” Beyond Portuguese for daily operations, Chen also uses English to communicate with project owners and supervisors. He now routinely greets local workers on site in Portuguese every morning. Chen stressed the critical importance of clear communication and genuinely resolving issues for Angolan staff. “If an employee reports a payroll error, I verify it with HR immediately and ensure it’s corrected,” he said. This consistent approach has earned Chen deep trust among his Angolan colleagues, who frequently hail him as “our good captain from China”. 4. What were the two challenges Chen faced at the early stage of the project? A. Lack of funding and remote location. B. Shortfall of skilled labor and technical resources. C. Outdated equipment and harsh climate conditions. D. Ineffective training methods and language barriers. 5. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mainly suggest? A. Gesturing alone is insufficient for precise communication. B. Cultural differences are the toughest problem in the overseas project. C. Physical distance is no longer a barrier in modern engineering projects. D. Language barriers can create more obstacles than geographical separation. 6. Which statement best captures Chen’s philosophy on workplace communication? A. English is essential for daily task assignment. B. Language accuracy should be given the first priority. C. Being understood is more important than being perfect. D. Verbal communication alone is sufficient for most situations 7. What can be inferred about Chen’s success in Angola? A. It reflects China’s superior training system. B. It mainly results from his technical expertise. C. It depends on his willingness to work with local staff. D. It shows English’s importance in international projects. In a twist of modern consumer psychology, we are now comfortable injecting synthetic (人工合成的) substances into our faces, yet shy away from the thought of putting them in our mouths. While we embrace synthetics when it comes to beauty, we continue to draw the line at our lunch. Alternative proteins, from plant-based fake meat to lab-grown meat, struggle for public acceptance despite clear benefits, including far lower greenhouse gas emissions and no animal welfare issues. One explanation for this is our strange admiration for “natural” as shorthand for purity, authenticity and safety. This preference is known as the “naturalness bias” in psychology and it underlies why we draw back from “synthetic meat” even when it is less risky than industrial farming. This preference isn’t unreasonable so much as old-fashioned. For early humans, avoiding unfamiliar food was a survival tool, as a strong disgust response protected us against taking polluted food. But our instincts(本能) haven’t kept pace with innovation and what is now considered the “natural” choice may be the one carrying significant risk. If we are to meet the protein needs of a global population approaching 10 billion by mid-century, food innovation isn’t a choice, but a necessity. Livestock farming’s land use, water consumption and emissions footprints are unsustainable at scale. Cultivated meat is reasonable alternative, but consumer scepticism, fueled by outdated beliefs, is slowing their adoption. One way forward is transparency (透明度): explaining alternative protein production processes to consumers and linking these to familiar ones like cheese-making or beer-brewing. Equally, we must be willing to break the myth that meat, as it is consumed today, is somehow “natural”. A typical supermarket pack of sausages is the result of a long process involving feed additives, genetic selection and industrial killing. If we are uncomfortable with the word “synthetic”, we might do well to consider what traditional meat production actually contains. Our bias towards the natural once kept us alive. Now it may be preventing us from embracing the very technologies that are essential to our long-term food security, environmental stability and even public health. After all, if we have welcomed synthetics into our lives and our bodies, perhaps it is time to extend that pragmatism(实用主义) to our plates. 8. What does the author mean by “a twist of modern consumer psychology”? A. Psychology studies have taken a new turn in consumer research. B. People’s psychology has now become twisted and complicated. C. Alternative proteins are beneficial yet undesirable among consumers. D. Consumers hold contradictory attitudes towards synthetics in different products. 9. According to paragraphs 2 and 3, which of the following is true about the “naturalness bias”? A. It has been easily overcome by recent food innovations. B. It is a completely unreasonable fear of new technology. C. It protects people from significant risks in the modern food system. D. It was once a logical survival tool but may be unsuitable nowadays. 10. What is a recommended approach to increasing public acceptance of alternative proteins? A. Making the unfamiliar production process more understandable. B. Focusing on balancing the flavour just like conventional meat. C. Maintaining the myth about their production to avoid public fear. D. Adapting their production process to be more industrial and efficient. 11. What is the author’s overall attitude towards alternative proteins? A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Uncertain. D. Neutral. Throughout the past year, we followed some interesting new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Here is a look back at some notable AI developments in 2022. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation Facebook’s parent Meta said it had built a technology tool to directly translate between English and the Hokkien language, a spoken language without a widely used written form. Meta said it trained its AI models on written text examples from Mandarin Chinese. In addition, developers used an encoding (编码) tool designed to compare spoken Hokkien to similar English text. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease Researchers announced a new AI method to identify Parkinson’s disease. The system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. With just one night of sleep, the Al system was able to correctly identify Parkinson’s up to 86 percent of the time. With 12 nights of data, the rate went up to 95 percent. Tool to interpret pig emotions Researchers announced they had created a technology tool that uses pig sounds to interpret different emotions. The tool is based on thousands of recordings collected from more than 400 pigs throughout their lives. The scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm (算法) to identify a series of emotions pigs could be experiencing. It is expected to lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings Researchers-led by Alphabet’s AI company DeepMind-said they developed an AI system to help fill in missing words in ancient writings. The tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians work on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged writings is about 25 percent. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72 percent. 12. Which can be used for cross-cultural communication? A. Tool to interpret pig emotions. B. Meta’s speech-to-speech translation. C. Method to identify Parkinson’s disease. D. Tool to fill in missing words in ancient writings. 13. Who will most probably be interested in Ithaca? A. A farmer. B. A doctor. C. A zoologist. D. A historian. 14. What do the inventions have in common? A. They are AI-driven technology tools. B. They are developed by Facebook. C. They aim to promote productivity. D. They focus on health issues. 三、七选五 For teens, art can be a powerful and transformative activity. In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of art for teens and why art is so beneficial.

Buried under piles of papers and burning the midnight oil almost every night, I kept telling myself that I must work harder to realize my dream of entering a top university. I tried every method known: making detailed timetables, reciting vocabulary till midnight, and redoing wrong questions. However, despite my persistent efforts, the results were far from satisfactory. Time and time again, I received disappointing test scores. The red marks on the paper were like sharp knives, piercing my heart and making me feel completely defeated. One Friday afternoon, after getting yet another discouraging school report, I locked myself in my room. Tears rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably as I stared at the low grades. I began to doubt my own ability, wondering if I was actually smart enough to make it. “Maybe I should just give up,” I whispered to myself, feeling exhausted and hopeless. Just when I was drowning in self-pity, my deskmate, Li Hua, noticed my absence from the classroom. He tracked me down at home and knocked gently on my door. When I finally opened it, with red and swollen eyes, he didn’t say a word of blame. Instead, he handed me a cup of hot milk and sat beside me quietly. After letting me calm down for a moment, he shared his own struggle with math, admitting that he had also wanted to quit many times. Then, looking me straight in the eyes, he said softly but firmly: “The process is more important than the result. Keep going, and you will see the change sooner or later.” These simple yet powerful words were like a ray of sunshine, breaking through the dark clouds of my mind. They touched my heart deeply and pulled me out of the abyss of negativity. I took a deep breath, wiped away my tears, and silently made up my mind to hold on to my dream. 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。 Paragraph 1 I made a detailed study plan and started to change my learning methods. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 With my continuous efforts, I finally made significant progress. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $听力考试正式开始。Your meeting is at two P.
