The Appelbee family were on inflatable (可充气的) paddleboards and a kayak in Geographe Bay when strong winds pushed them offshore on Friday afternoon. Joanne Appelbee, 47, asked her son Austin to take the kayak back for help, but his boat took on water, forcing him to swim 4 km to shore. Fighting rough seas, Austin wore a life jacket at first but removed it after two hours to swim more efficiently. “I was thinking in my head I was going to make it through,” he told ABC News. To keep his spirits up, he recalled “thinking of Thomas the Tank Engine, a children’s TV character known for his ‘can-do’ attitude”. Upon reaching the beach, he collapsed, and then raced 2 km to call emergency services. “I need helicopters. I need planes. I need boats. My family’s out at sea,” he said on the phone. After the call, he passed out from exhaustion. Police launched a multi-agency search and rescue operation. Around 8:30 pm, Joanne and her children, aged 12 and 8, were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14.5 km offshore and were rescued by a volunteer marine vessel. Austin had been taken to hospital and learned minutes later his family was safe. “It was a moment I will never forget,” he said. Joanne described the outcome as “an absolute perfect ending” with all children well and unharmed. Rescue commander Paul Bresland said Austin’s detailed description of their equipment proved invaluable. Police praised the family for wearing life jackets and hailed Austin’s determination and courage, which ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings. Austin returned to school this week with the aid of crutches after his special experience. 4. Why did Austin take off his life jacket during the swim? A. To escape faster after seeing something scary. B. To avoid the damage caused by rough waves. C. To get rid of it due to the exhaustion. D. To enhance his swimming efficiency. 5. What can we learn about Austin during his swim? A. He used positive thinking to cope with the challenges. B. He was confident and never doubted his success. C. He focused on the technical aspects of swimming. D. He was distracted by worries about his family. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Austin was praised for his physical strength in the rescue. B. Austin helped in the rescue with his resolve and bravery. C. Austin was the only family member in a life jacket. D. Austin returned to school uninjured right after. 7. Where can the text most likely be found? A. In a travel blog. B. In a news report. C. In a medical journal. D. In a boating safety manual. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. B 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要讲述了西澳大利亚一名13岁男孩奥斯汀在海上遇险后，独自游泳数小时求援，最终成功救出母亲和两个年幼的兄弟姐妹的英勇事迹。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Fighting rough seas, Austin wore a life jacket at first but removed it after two hours to swim more efficiently. (在与汹涌的海浪搏斗时，奥斯汀起初穿着救生衣，但两小时后为了游得更高效将其脱掉。)”可知，奥斯汀脱掉救生衣是为了提高游泳效率。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“I was thinking in my head I was going to make it through (我心里一直想着我一定能挺过去)”以及“To keep his spirits up, he recalled “thinking of Thomas the Tank Engine, a children's TV character known for his 'can-do' attitude”. (为了振作精神，他回忆起想着托马斯小火车，这个以‘能做到’态度闻名的儿童电视角色。)”可知，奥斯汀在游泳过程中用积极的想法来应对挑战。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Police praised the family for wearing life jackets and hailed Austin's determination and courage, which ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings. (警方表扬了这家人穿着救生衣，并称赞奥斯汀的决心和勇气，这些最终救了他母亲和兄弟姐妹的命。)”可知，奥斯汀凭借他的决心和勇气帮助了这次救援。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章以客观、及时的口吻报道了一起真实的海上救援事件，包含具体的时间、地点、人物引语以及救援过程等新闻要素，因此最可能出现在新闻报道中。 C Whales, among Earth’s most intelligent species, boast distinct communication systems that vary even within populations. A crucial question thus arises: Could humans engage in sound-related interactions with them? Researchers from UC Davis’ Whale-SETI team and the Alaska Whale Foundation have explored this with humpback whales, yielding fascinating findings. In a key experiment, scientists recorded a humpback contact call called a “whup” and played it underwater near their vessel. A whale named Twain actively participated in the call-and-response: Each human “whup” prompted her own response, described as a “conversation” in their Peer J paper. Josephine Hubbard, a study author, noted the call might loosely mean “hello” or a location signal, emphasizing Twain was responding to human-produced whale signals. Crucially, Twain’s interaction was voluntary. She circled the boat, stayed close to the speakers, and continued signaling after the 20-minute playback (limited by permits) ended. “She could have left anytime — this wasn’t a captive environment,” Hubbard explained, highlighting that whales’ willingness to communicate depends on individual character and environment, much as human beings display different degrees of extroversion. Additional evidence supports this. Humpbacks often produce “bubble rings” near boats, a playful behavior suggesting communicative intent, as Hubbard’s team documented in Marine Mammal Science. Besides, gray whales in Mexico’s San Ignacio lagoon are famously friendly, approaching boats and allowing gentle contact — this behavior, not food-driven, may be passed down through generations, though not all gray whales exhibit it. In conclusion, these encounters confirm some individual whales are willing to engage with humans. As we deepen our understanding of their communication modes and messages, we gain invaluable insights into these marine giants, bridging the gap between human and non-human intelligence. 8. What can we know about the research in the first paragraph? A. It is the first study of its kind. B. It has proved whales understand human sounds. C. It chooses humpback whales for their intelligence. D. It explores a problem on human-animal interaction. 9. According to Hubbard, what was significant about Twain’s behavior? A. She remained near the sound source by choice. B. She tried to destroy the underwater speakers. C. She only responded because she was fed. D. She was trapped in a net near the boat. 10. What does the underlined word “extroversion” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The habit of living alone. B. The ability to swim long distances. C. The quality of being sociable. D. The fear of communicating with strangers. 11. Which would be the most suitable title for the text? A. Humpback Whales: The Most Intelligent Mammals B. A “Conversation” Between Humans and Whales C. A Groundbreaking Experiment in Marine Biology D. Whales’ Communication: Bubble Rings and Calls 【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要讲述了研究人员通过播放鲸鱼叫声与座头鲸Twain进行了一次“对话”互动。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“A crucial question thus arises: Could humans engage in sound-related interactions with them? (由此产生了一个关键问题：人类能否与它们进行声音相关的互动？)”可知，这项研究探索的是人类与动物之间互动的问题。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Crucially, Twain's interaction was voluntary. She circled the boat, stayed close to the speakers, and continued signaling after the 20-minute playback ended. (关键的是，Twain的互动是自愿的。她绕着船转，靠近扬声器，并在20分钟的播放结束后继续发出信号)”以及Hubbard所说“She could have left anytime (她随时可以离开)”可知，Twain是自愿选择留在声源附近的。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“whales' willingness to communicate depends on individual character and environment, much as human beings display different degrees of extroversion (鲸鱼的交流意愿取决于个体性格和环境，正如人类表现出不同程度的extroversion)”可知，此处将鲸鱼的交流意愿与人类进行类比，人类有的外向有的内向，所以extroversion应指“外向、善于社交”的品质。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文可知，文章主要讲述了研究人员通过播放鲸鱼叫声与座头鲸Twain进行了一次“对话”互动，Twain自愿回应人类发出的鲸鱼信号，这次交流被描述为一场“对话”。因此B项“人类与鲸鱼之间的‘对话’”最适合作为文章标题。 D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts, leaving patches of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. To tackle this issue, researchers at UC Davis have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. Composed of 90% water, this innovative material can be molded into various shapes. It remains solid below freezing, becomes soft at room temperature, and can be reused by simply rinsing (冲洗) and refreezing. Study researcher Jiahan Zou noted that jelly ice achieves up to 80% of the cooling efficiency of regular ice of identical shape and size, and it sustains heat absorbance through multiple freeze-thaw (解冻) cycles — a key advantage over traditional ice. The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed the heavy ice usage in fish-processing plants and the risk of bacteria spread via meltwater. Seeking a safer choice for grocery seafood displays, they turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure traps water during freezing and thawing. After years of testing, they perfected a simple, one-step method of producing jelly ice. Made from natural material and biodegradable after use, jelly ice does not contribute to microplastic pollution and may even enhance tomato plant growth when add to soil. Beyond grocery stores, it could be widely applied, such as preserving medical supplies during shipping, reducing waste in biotechnology, and delivering reliable cooling in water-scarce regions, offering a sustainable solution that lowers pollution risks and supports agriculture. While licenses for the technology have been secured, jelly ice is not yet available to the public, requiring further market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers (聚合物), including plant-based proteins such as soy, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is a major drawback of conventional ice? A. It is too expensive for industrial use. B. Its solid form is difficult to transport. C. Its cooling efficiency decreases over time. D. It produces meltwater that may cause harm. 13. Why did the researchers choose gelatin to make jelly ice? A. It works better than common ice in cooling. B. It is a cost-effective material for mass production. C. Its natural structure can hold water during freeze-thaw. D. It is the most commonly used material in food safety. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of jelly ice? A. Skeptical. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To inform readers of a new sustainable cooling material. B. To persuade readers to stop using traditional ice immediately. C. To compare the cooling efficiency of different natural polymers. D. To promote the research work of UC Davis. 【答案】12. D 13. C 14. D 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍了一款新型可重复使用、可生物降解的果冻冰，对比传统冰块的弊端，阐述其制作特性、研发缘由、多重用途及未来发展前景。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Traditional ice melts, leaving patches of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. (传统冰会融化，留下一片片水迹，可能让饮料变稀、损坏产品，甚至传播危险细菌。)”可知，传统冰的主要缺点是它融化后产生的水可能造成危害。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“they turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure traps water during freezing and thawing. (他们转向了明胶，这是一种食品安全材料，其蛋白质结构可以在冷冻和解冻过程中锁住水分。)”可知，研究者选择明胶是因为它的天然结构能在冻融过程中锁住水分。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Beyond grocery stores, it could be widely applied, such as preserving medical supplies during shipping, reducing waste in biotechnology, and delivering reliable cooling in water-scarce regions, offering a sustainable solution that lowers pollution risks and supports agriculture. (除了在超市中使用之外，它还可以广泛应用于其他领域，例如在运输过程中保存医疗用品、减少生物技术领域的废弃物、在水资源匮乏的地区提供可靠的冷却服务，从而提供一种可持续的解决方案，降低污染风险并支持农业发展。)”以及最后一段提到技术许可已获批、团队正在研究其他天然聚合物等内容，可以看出作者对果冻冰的未来持乐观态度。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章主要介绍了果冻冰这一新型可持续冷却材料的研发背景、特性、优势及应用前景，目的是向读者介绍这一创新材料。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Switching from high school to college can be a big change for students, with many moving away from family and friends for the first time. ____16____.

Most importantly, I was worried about performing poorly. Fortunately, my classmate Anna kindly offered to help me prepare. After school, we spent several hours together in the kitchen, practicing my recipe over and over again. She guided me patiently, showing me how to chop vegetables evenly, cook the pasta (意大利面食) perfectly, and mix the ingredients carefully. She even gave me tips on how to make the salad look more appealing on the plate by arranging colors and shapes neatly. Her encouragement and advice made me feel more confident and make much progress. Every weekend, for a whole month, we got up early so that we could have enough time to practice and we followed the same routine to prepare for the competition. In the beginning, we carefully selected the freshest vegetables from the market, checking each carrot, cucumber, and lettuce leaf for quality. Anna reminded me to time every step perfectly, so the pasta would not be overcooked and the vegetables would remain crisp and fresh. We also practiced plating the salad neatly, arranging the colors and shapes to make it look attractive, because presentation was just as important as taste. Each rehearsal made me feel more confident and ready. And by the night before the competition, I was nervous but also excited to show what we had learned. On the day of the contest, standing at the center of the bustling school campus, I felt the crowd’s eyes on me and my anxiety returned immediately. The tables were neatly arranged with all the ingredients we would need, while students from other classes moved quickly, chopping, stirring, and plating with confidence. At first, I hesitated, afraid of making mistakes in front of so many people and worried that my pasta salad would not turn out well. My hands trembled slightly as I picked up the knife. 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 things did not go smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The judges announced the winners, and to my surprise, I won third place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】参考范文： The things did not go smoothly. As I began cooking, one of the vegetables accidentally fell to the floor. Panic rose inside me, and I felt my confidence slipping. At that time, I remembered Anna’s advice: “Stay calm and take one step at a time.” I took a deep breath, replaced the fallen vegetable, and carefully drained the pasta. Slowly, I regained my rhythm, chopping and mixing with more focus. By the time the judges tasted my dish, I felt proud of what I had done. The judges announced the winners, and to my surprise, I won third place. I stood there, too excited to believe my ears. My hands trembled with joy as I looked for Anna in the crowd. When I saw her waving and smiling at me proudly, my eyes were filled with tears. I truly owed my success to her generous help, patient guidance, and constant encouragement over the past month. This unforgettable experience taught me that true friendship can turn fear into courage and bring me unexpected achievements. 【解析】 【导语】本文以烹饪比赛为线索展开，讲述了作者在烹饪比赛前感到紧张，同学安娜主动帮助作者反复练习食谱，耐心指导作者烹饪技巧和摆盘方法，经过一个月的努力，作者逐渐变得自信。比赛当天，作者站在赛场中央，紧张感再次袭来，动手烹饪时也并不顺利，但最终意外获得三等奖，深刻体会到友谊的力量的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“事情进展得并不顺利。”可知，第一段可描写作者烹饪时出现失误，想起安娜的建议后冷静下来，重新调整节奏完成菜品的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“评委宣布了获胜者，令我惊讶的是，我获得了三等奖。”可知，第二段可描写作者获奖后的激动心情，寻找并感谢安娜，以及从这次经历中获得的感悟。 2.续写线索：烹饪失误——内心慌乱——想起建议——冷静调整——完成菜品——意外获奖——激动感恩——感悟友谊 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①保持：stay/keep/remain ②颤抖：tremble/shake/shiver ③转变：turn/transform/shift 情绪类 ①激动：excited/thrilled ②高兴：joy/delight 【点睛】[高分句型1] Slowly, I regained my rhythm, chopping and mixing with more focus.（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] My hands trembled with joy as I looked for Anna in the crowd.（运用了as引导的时间状语从句） [高分句型3] This unforgettable experience taught me that true friendship can turn fear into courage and bring me unexpected achievements.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 高三英语 注意事项： 1．答题前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号、考场号、座位号填写在答题卡上。 2．回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3．考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 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。每段对话读两遍。 例：How much is the shirt?

B A 13-year-old boy in Western Australia saved his mother and two younger siblings by swimming for hours to raise the alarm after the family was swept out to sea. The Appelbee family were on inflatable (可充气的) paddleboards and a kayak in Geographe Bay when strong winds pushed them offshore on Friday afternoon. Joanne Appelbee, 47, asked her son Austin to take the kayak back for help, but his boat took on water, forcing him to swim 4 km to shore. Fighting rough seas, Austin wore a life jacket at first but removed it after two hours to swim more efficiently. “I was thinking in my head I was going to make it through,” he told ABC News. To keep his spirits up, he recalled “thinking of Thomas the Tank Engine, a children’s TV character known for his ‘can-do’ attitude”. Upon reaching the beach, he collapsed, and then raced 2 km to call emergency services. “I need helicopters. I need planes. I need boats. My family’s out at sea,” he said on the phone. After the call, he passed out from exhaustion. Police launched a multi-agency search and rescue operation. Around 8:30 pm, Joanne and her children, aged 12 and 8, were found clinging to a paddleboard about 14.5 km offshore and were rescued by a volunteer marine vessel. Austin had been taken to hospital and learned minutes later his family was safe. “It was a moment I will never forget,” he said. Joanne described the outcome as “an absolute perfect ending” with all children well and unharmed. Rescue commander Paul Bresland said Austin’s detailed description of their equipment proved invaluable. Police praised the family for wearing life jackets and hailed Austin’s determination and courage, which ultimately saved the lives of his mother and siblings. Austin returned to school this week with the aid of crutches after his special experience. 4. Why did Austin take off his life jacket during the swim? A. To escape faster after seeing something scary. B. To avoid the damage caused by rough waves. C. To get rid of it due to the exhaustion. D. To enhance his swimming efficiency. 5. What can we learn about Austin during his swim? A. He used positive thinking to cope with the challenges. B. He was confident and never doubted his success. C. He focused on the technical aspects of swimming. D. He was distracted by worries about his family. 6. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Austin was praised for his physical strength in the rescue. B. Austin helped in the rescue with his resolve and bravery. C. Austin was the only family member in a life jacket. D. Austin returned to school uninjured right after. 7. Where can the text most likely be found? A. In a travel blog. B. In a news report. C. In a medical journal. D. In a boating safety manual. C Whales, among Earth’s most intelligent species, boast distinct communication systems that vary even within populations. A crucial question thus arises: Could humans engage in sound-related interactions with them? Researchers from UC Davis’ Whale-SETI team and the Alaska Whale Foundation have explored this with humpback whales, yielding fascinating findings. In a key experiment, scientists recorded a humpback contact call called a “whup” and played it underwater near their vessel. A whale named Twain actively participated in the call-and-response: Each human “whup” prompted her own response, described as a “conversation” in their Peer J paper. Josephine Hubbard, a study author, noted the call might loosely mean “hello” or a location signal, emphasizing Twain was responding to human-produced whale signals. Crucially, Twain’s interaction was voluntary. She circled the boat, stayed close to the speakers, and continued signaling after the 20-minute playback (limited by permits) ended. “She could have left anytime — this wasn’t a captive environment,” Hubbard explained, highlighting that whales’ willingness to communicate depends on individual character and environment, much as human beings display different degrees of extroversion. Additional evidence supports this. Humpbacks often produce “bubble rings” near boats, a playful behavior suggesting communicative intent, as Hubbard’s team documented in Marine Mammal Science. Besides, gray whales in Mexico’s San Ignacio lagoon are famously friendly, approaching boats and allowing gentle contact — this behavior, not food-driven, may be passed down through generations, though not all gray whales exhibit it. In conclusion, these encounters confirm some individual whales are willing to engage with humans. As we deepen our understanding of their communication modes and messages, we gain invaluable insights into these marine giants, bridging the gap between human and non-human intelligence. 8. What can we know about the research in the first paragraph? A. It is the first study of its kind. B. It has proved whales understand human sounds. C. It chooses humpback whales for their intelligence. D. It explores a problem on human-animal interaction. 9. According to Hubbard, what was significant about Twain’s behavior? A. She remained near the sound source by choice. B. She tried to destroy the underwater speakers. C. She only responded because she was fed. D. She was trapped in a net near the boat. 10. What does the underlined word “extroversion” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. The habit of living alone. B. The ability to swim long distances. C. The quality of being sociable. D. The fear of communicating with strangers. 11. Which would be the most suitable title for the text? A. Humpback Whales: The Most Intelligent Mammals B. A “Conversation” Between Humans and Whales C. A Groundbreaking Experiment in Marine Biology D. Whales’ Communication: Bubble Rings and Calls D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: Traditional ice melts, leaving patches of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. To tackle this issue, researchers at UC Davis have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. Composed of 90% water, this innovative material can be molded into various shapes. It remains solid below freezing, becomes soft at room temperature, and can be reused by simply rinsing (冲洗) and refreezing. Study researcher Jiahan Zou noted that jelly ice achieves up to 80% of the cooling efficiency of regular ice of identical shape and size, and it sustains heat absorbance through multiple freeze-thaw (解冻) cycles — a key advantage over traditional ice. The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed the heavy ice usage in fish-processing plants and the risk of bacteria spread via meltwater. Seeking a safer choice for grocery seafood displays, they turned to gelatin, a food-safe material whose protein structure traps water during freezing and thawing. After years of testing, they perfected a simple, one-step method of producing jelly ice. Made from natural material and biodegradable after use, jelly ice does not contribute to microplastic pollution and may even enhance tomato plant growth when add to soil. Beyond grocery stores, it could be widely applied, such as preserving medical supplies during shipping, reducing waste in biotechnology, and delivering reliable cooling in water-scarce regions, offering a sustainable solution that lowers pollution risks and supports agriculture. While licenses for the technology have been secured, jelly ice is not yet available to the public, requiring further market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers (聚合物), including plant-based proteins such as soy, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. What is a major drawback of conventional ice? A. It is too expensive for industrial use. B. Its solid form is difficult to transport. C. Its cooling efficiency decreases over time. D. It produces meltwater that may cause harm. 13. Why did the researchers choose gelatin to make jelly ice? A. It works better than common ice in cooling. B. It is a cost-effective material for mass production. C. Its natural structure can hold water during freeze-thaw. D. It is the most commonly used material in food safety. 14. What is the author’s attitude towards the future of jelly ice? A. Skeptical. B. Critical. C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic. 15. What is the main purpose of the text? A. To inform readers of a new sustainable cooling material. B. To persuade readers to stop using traditional ice immediately. C. To compare the cooling efficiency of different natural polymers. D. To promote the research work of UC Davis. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Switching from high school to college can be a big change for students, with many moving away from family and friends for the first time. ____16____.

Most importantly, I was worried about performing poorly. Fortunately, my classmate Anna kindly offered to help me prepare. After school, we spent several hours together in the kitchen, practicing my recipe over and over again. She guided me patiently, showing me how to chop vegetables evenly, cook the pasta (意大利面食) perfectly, and mix the ingredients carefully. She even gave me tips on how to make the salad look more appealing on the plate by arranging colors and shapes neatly. Her encouragement and advice made me feel more confident and make much progress. Every weekend, for a whole month, we got up early so that we could have enough time to practice and we followed the same routine to prepare for the competition. In the beginning, we carefully selected the freshest vegetables from the market, checking each carrot, cucumber, and lettuce leaf for quality. Anna reminded me to time every step perfectly, so the pasta would not be overcooked and the vegetables would remain crisp and fresh. We also practiced plating the salad neatly, arranging the colors and shapes to make it look attractive, because presentation was just as important as taste. Each rehearsal made me feel more confident and ready. And by the night before the competition, I was nervous but also excited to show what we had learned. On the day of the contest, standing at the center of the bustling school campus, I felt the crowd’s eyes on me and my anxiety returned immediately. The tables were neatly arranged with all the ingredients we would need, while students from other classes moved quickly, chopping, stirring, and plating with confidence. At first, I hesitated, afraid of making mistakes in front of so many people and worried that my pasta salad would not turn out well. My hands trembled slightly as I picked up the knife. 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 things did not go smoothly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The judges announced the winners, and to my surprise, I won third place. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
