Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢).
“Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body is held up, everything is held up and I’ve made it to 104.”
She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continue.
Altogether, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4, 385 kilometers. During that time, she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing...This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s taught me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.”
24. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons?
A. She wanted to set a new record.
B. She intended to challenge herself.
C. She was driven by her interest.
D. She was inspired by people like her.
25. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with?
A. She didn’t get professional training.
B. She found it hard to keep her balance.
C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg.
D. She couldn’t use regular running blades.
26. What message does the author express through the story?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. Time works wonders.
C. A good beginning is half the battle.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
27. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Broersma?
A. Annoyed. B. Concerned
C. Admiring. D. Humorous.

Tiny, black-capped chickadees (北美山雀) have big memories. They store food in hundreds to thousands of different locations in the wild — and then comeback to these places when other food sources are low.
Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months.
Some researchers thought that neurons called place cells (细胞) would explain these birds’ ability to remember where their food is stored. These cells are known to include information about where things are in space. But recently,Selmaan Chettih and his team found that each time a chickadee hides a seed (种子) in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears — separate from place cells
To observe this, Chettih and his team created special areas with lots of feeders filled with sunflower seeds. They put small flaps (片状下垂物) where birds could hide seeds.
The scientists tracked the activity in their brains. Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, researchers saw a brief unique brain pattern appear—what they called the barcode. Different patterns appeared even if the birds hid many seeds in the same location. When the birds revisited these sites and retrieved the hidden seeds, the same barcode-like pattern appeared again, as though all the information about each location and seed were related to a unique brain pattern.
The researchers compared these memories to episodic memories in humans, which are memories of specific events or personal experiences. They’re important to how humans connect time, people, places and sensory information together.
Chettih says that this see chiding behavior has a clear pattern of activity, which may help researchers build a structure for how the brain creates and stores memories
28. Why are memory skills necessary for chickadees?
A. Memory skills can help them survive in colder months.
B. Memory skills show their intelligence and learning abilities.
C. They need memory skills to identify different types of food.
D. They use memory skills to avoid being attacked by other animals.
29. What did Chettih and his team find?
A. Chickadees’ memories were controlled by place cells.
B. Chickadees preferred hiding sunflower seeds.
C. Unique brain patterns appeared when chickadees hid seeds.
D. Chickadees often hid many seeds in the same location.
30. What does the underlined word “retrieved” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Repaired. B. Regained. C. Decorated. D. Designed.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a study on chickadees’ memory.
B. To present a detailed description of chickadees.
C. To compare chickadees and human memory skills.
D. To provide readers with a way to improve memory skills.
D
Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a scheme (计划) to improve the situation.
Under the Velib project ('Velib' comes from vélo liberté, or 'bicycle freedom') people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a project like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle — they'll still use their cars."
A city spokesman said, 'The bicycle project won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.'
32. What can we learn about the Velib scheme?
A. Its bikes have no baskets. B. Its bikes are light and colorful.
C. It aims to make traveling easier. D. It owns more stations than the subway.
33. If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay _______.
A. €l B. €30 C. €29 D. no money
34. Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?
A. The cost is rather high.
B. It's hard to find a Velib station.
C. It's not suitable for a long journey.
D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.
35. What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uncaring. D. Worried.

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was very young, my mother thought it was necessary for me to learn to play a musical instrument, as most parents do nowadays. She asked me what kind of instrument I was interested in. I didn’t have any idea, but I thought playing the drums was cool and interesting. So she took me to enroll in a drum course in the Children’s Palace, where I spent nearly every Sunday morning for two years, practicing playing the drum.
As time went on, I went to middle school. I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum in a team and meeting new friends. At first it was easy because of my constant practice during the primary school, but a month later, it got more and more difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace with the other players. The band consists of students playing the violin, the piano, the guitar and so on. We were in a team; the music was beautiful, but it seemed rather challenging. So I was in low spirits when playing in the band, and the joy of playing music began to fade.
Our teacher, Ms Miller, noticed my struggle and singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. With each missed beat, I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I no longer cared if it was done right.
“Are you giving up, Steve?” Ms Miller asked gently.
“Yes, I am,” I shouted. Ms Miller sent me inside the music room where I cried out. Then she came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it! ” She told me never to give up and left me alone to think about it. Alone in the music room, I recalled Ms Miller’s words and finally realized she was right. Quitting wasn’t just about giving up on myself; it was about abandoning my team. I couldn’t let my teammates down.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I decided to go on practicing.

Generally, the story notes has about 180 pages. A copy usually weighs around 200 to 250 grams. In March, students often borrow it to read during breaks. In May, it’s popular for group discussions in literature classes. When final exams come in July, some students use it to relax between studying. The book tells stories about high school students. When a new term starts, the main characters join the school’s stargazing club. Once they’re familiar with the club activities, they start planning a star-themed show.
It’s hard to put down this book because the stories feel real. You can almost imagine being part of their adventures. Also, the writing is clear and the pictures inside are beautiful.

Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢).
“Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. “I thought it would be a great way to inspire others to push their limits because I truly believe that we’re stronger than what we think. And I’ve been so pleasantly surprised that my body is held up, everything is held up and I’ve made it to 104.”
She actually did not pick up the sport until after she lost the lower part of her left leg in 2001 to a type of cancer called Ewing sarcoma. Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continue.
Altogether, Hunt-Broersma ran over 4, 385 kilometers. During that time, she has had a lot of time to think and has learned a few things about herself. “It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing...This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s taught me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.”
24. Why did Hunt-Broersma decide to run marathons?
A. She wanted to set a new record.
B. She intended to challenge herself.
C. She was driven by her interest.
D. She was inspired by people like her.
25. What difficulty did Hunt-Broersma meet with?
A. She didn’t get professional training.
B. She found it hard to keep her balance.
C. She suffered discomfort in her left leg.
D. She couldn’t use regular running blades.
26. What message does the author express through the story?
A. Rome wasn’t built in a day.
B. Time works wonders.
C. A good beginning is half the battle.
D. Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.
27. What may be the author’s attitude towards Hunt-Broersma?
A. Annoyed. B. Concerned
C. Admiring. D. Humorous.
【答案】24. B 25. C 26. D 27. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Jacky Hunt-Broersma虽然由于癌症而左腿截肢,但是借助假肢连续104天跑104场马拉松的励志故事。
【24题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中““Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. (她说:“以前有一个身体健全的人做过这种事。我想看看我是否可以用假腿做这件事,看看会发生什么。”)”可推知,Hunt-Broersma决定跑马拉松是为了挑战自己。故选B项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Runners using a prosthetic leg can’t use a regular one. They need a running blade (刀锋式跑步义肢). Hunt-Broersma has two, but she was only able to run with one because of the swelling she experienced in her left leg that made it impossible to connect to the other blade. But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued.(使用假肢的跑步者不能使用普通的假肢。他们需要一个刀锋式跑步义肢。Hunt-Broersma有两个刀锋式跑步义肢,但她只能用其中一个,因为她左腿肿胀,无法连接到另一把刀。但即使发生了痛苦,她也能够忍受并继续下去。)”可知,Hunt-Broersma在跑马拉松时,要忍受左腿肿胀带来的不适和痛苦。故选C项。
【26题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,以及第三段中“But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued.(但即使发生了痛苦,她也能够忍受并继续下去。)”和最后一段中““It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is. If you’re mentally strong, you can do anything,” she said. “And our bodies are just amazing...This whole journey was impressive and super hard, but it’s taught me how strong I can be as a person and how far I can push myself.”(“它教会了我一个人可以有多坚强,以及绝对的决心有多重要。如果你内心强大,你可以做任何事情,”她说。“我们的身体真是太棒了……整个旅程令人印象深刻,也非常艰难,但它告诉我,作为一个人,我可以有多强大,我可以把自己逼到多远。”)”可知,作者通过Hunt-Broersma的故事告诉读者只要有坚定意志与决心,只要我们迎难而上,坚持不懈,就能取得成功,因此作者通过这个故事表达了“有志者事竟成”的哲理。故选D项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,以及第一段“Most people who ran the marathon last month spent days before resting up and days after recovering. But not Jacky Hunt-Broersma. In total, she ran 104 marathons in 104 days. If it’s confirmed by Guinness World Records, that would be a new world record. And she did it all with one leg and a prosthesis (假肢).(上个月跑马拉松的大多数人在赛前休息了几天时间,在赛后恢复了几天时间。但Jacky Hunt-Broersma不是。她总共在104天内跑了104场马拉松。如果吉尼斯世界纪录证实,这将是一项新的世界纪录。她用一条腿和一个假肢完成了这一切。)”和第二段中““Someone able-bodied had done it previously. I wanted to see if I could do it on a prosthetic leg and see what would happen,” she said. (她说:“以前有一个身体健全的人做过这种事。我想看看我是否可以用假腿做这件事,看看会发生什么。”)”和第三段中“But even with the pain that occurred, she has been able to put up with it and continued.(但即使发生了痛苦,她也能够忍受并继续下去。)”以及最后一段中““It has taught me how strong one can be and how important absolute determination is.

C
Tiny, black-capped chickadees (北美山雀) have big memories. They store food in hundreds to thousands of different locations in the wild — and then comeback to these places when other food sources are low.
Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months.
Some researchers thought that neurons called place cells (细胞) would explain these birds’ ability to remember where their food is stored. These cells are known to include information about where things are in space. But recently,Selmaan Chettih and his team found that each time a chickadee hides a seed (种子) in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears — separate from place cells
To observe this, Chettih and his team created special areas with lots of feeders filled with sunflower seeds. They put small flaps (片状下垂物) where birds could hide seeds.
The scientists tracked the activity in their brains. Each time a bird hid a seed under a flap, researchers saw a brief unique brain pattern appear—what they called the barcode. Different patterns appeared even if the birds hid many seeds in the same location. When the birds revisited these sites and retrieved the hidden seeds, the same barcode-like pattern appeared again, as though all the information about each location and seed were related to a unique brain pattern.
The researchers compared these memories to episodic memories in humans, which are memories of specific events or personal experiences. They’re important to how humans connect time, people, places and sensory information together.
Chettih says that this see chiding behavior has a clear pattern of activity, which may help researchers build a structure for how the brain creates and stores memories
28. Why are memory skills necessary for chickadees?
A. Memory skills can help them survive in colder months.
B. Memory skills show their intelligence and learning abilities.
C. They need memory skills to identify different types of food.
D. They use memory skills to avoid being attacked by other animals.
29. What did Chettih and his team find?
A. Chickadees’ memories were controlled by place cells.
B. Chickadees preferred hiding sunflower seeds.
C. Unique brain patterns appeared when chickadees hid seeds.
D. Chickadees often hid many seeds in the same location.
30. What does the underlined word “retrieved” mean in paragraph 5?
A. Repaired. B. Regained. C. Decorated. D. Designed.
31. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To introduce a study on chickadees’ memory.
B. To present a detailed description of chickadees.
C. To compare chickadees and human memory skills.
D. To provide readers with a way to improve memory skills.
【答案】28. A 29. C 30. B 31. A
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了北美山雀记忆力很强,以此来度过寒冷的月份。文章介绍了相关研究。
【28题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months. (科学家们已经知道,山雀拥有令人难以置信的记忆力。当在寒冷的月份没有足够的食物资源时,这种记忆对这些鸟类来说可能是生死攸关的问题。)”可知,记忆技能对山雀来说是必要的是因为记忆力可以帮助他们在寒冷的月份生存。故选A。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“But recently, Selmaan Chettih and his team found that each time a chickadee hides a seed (种子) in a specific location, a unique brain pattern appears—separate from place cells. (但最近,Selmaan Chettih和他的团队发现,每当山雀把种子藏在一个特定的位置时,一种独特的大脑模式就会出现——与位置细胞分开)”可知,Chettih和他的团队发现当山雀隐藏种子时,大脑出现了独特的模式。故选C。
【30题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“the birds revisited these sites and”以及后文“the hidden seeds”可知,这些鸟再次造访这些地点是为了拿回藏起来的种子。故划线词意思是“拿回”。故选B。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Scientists have known that chickadees have incredible memory skills. That memory can be a matter of life or death for these birds when there are no enough food resources in colder months. (科学家们已经知道,山雀拥有令人难以置信的记忆力。当在寒冷的月份没有足够的食物资源时,这种记忆对这些鸟类来说可能是生死攸关的问题。)”结合文章主要说明了北美山雀记忆力很强,以此来度过寒冷的月份。文章介绍了相关研究。可知,文章的目的是介绍一项关于山雀记忆的研究。故选A。
D
Like all big cities, Paris has a traffic problem: lots of cars, lots of traffic jams and lots of pollution from exhaust fumes (废气). So the city began a scheme (计划) to improve the situation.
Under the Velib project ('Velib' comes from vélo liberté, or 'bicycle freedom') people can take a bicycle, use it for as long as they want, and then leave it at the same or another bicycle station. The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only €1 a day or €29 a year! The bicycles are heavy (25 kg), and they are all grey and have baskets. There are about 20,000 of them in the city, and around 1,450 bicycle stations. So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations!
Paris is not the first city to have a project like this. But not everybody thinks it's a great idea. One Parisian said, "These bicycles are only for short journeys. If people want to travel across the city, they won't use a bicycle — they'll still use their cars."
A city spokesman said, 'The bicycle project won't solve all our traffic problems, of course. But it might help reduce air pollution. Traffic, together with factory fumes, is a big problem. There aren't any simple answers to traffic problems and pollution in cities. But unless we do something now, there will be more traffic jams and temperatures will continue to rise, so the problems in our environment will get worse. The bikes might help people to lead a healthier life, too.'
32. What can we learn about the Velib scheme?
A. Its bikes have no baskets. B. Its bikes are light and colorful.
C. It aims to make traveling easier. D. It owns more stations than the subway.
33. If you use a Velib for 1 hour, you should pay _______.
A. €l B. €30 C. €29 D. no money
34. Why do some people disagree with the Velib scheme?
A. The cost is rather high.
B. It's hard to find a Velib station.
C. It's not suitable for a long journey.
D. The distance between two Velib stations is long.
35. What's the city spokesman's attitude towards the bicycle scheme?
A. Doubtful. B. Positive.
C. Uncaring. D. Worried.
【答案】32. D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一种新的自行车骑行方案,鼓励人们为了环境和自己的身体健康,多骑自行车。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段的“So there are a lot more Velib stations than the 298 subway stations! (所以Velib车站比298个地铁站要多得多!)”可知自行车车站要比汽车车站多得多。故选D。
【33题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“The first half-hour on the bike is free, but if you don't return it after 30 minutes, you have to pay. But it's only €1 a day or €29 a year! (骑自行车的前半小时是免费的,但如果30分钟后不还,你就得付钱。但是每天只要1欧元,一年只要29欧元!)”可知骑自行车一天,需要付费1欧元,前半小时内是免费的,超过半小时需要付费,由此可推知骑自行一小时需要1欧元。故选A。
【34题详解】

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章阐述养狗的诸多益处,包括让人更活跃、有益心脏健康、使人平静及促进社交等,说明养狗能改善生活。
【36题详解】
根据上文“There’s a reason why dogs are called man’s best friends. A good friend is faithful, will be there to pick you up when you’re down, will keep you on track to reach your goals, and will just be there for you as company. (狗被称为人类最好的朋友是有原因的。好朋友是忠诚的,会在你情绪低落时鼓励你,会帮助你坚持实现目标,并且会一直陪伴在你身边。)” 以及下文“The mental, physical and social benefits of caring for a dog — or any other pet, for that matter — are in large numbers. (照顾一只狗——或者任何其他宠物——所带来的心理、生理和社会益处是众多的。)” 可知,上文作者将狗比作人类最好的朋友,并列举了好朋友的特质。本空位于该比喻之后,应承接这一比喻,说明狗正是能提供这些支持的朋友。D选项“And that’s exactly what a dog can do for its owner. (这正是狗狗能为它的主人所做的。)”完美承接上文对“好朋友”的描述,引出下文关于养狗好处的具体论述,实现了自然过渡,符合题意。故选D。
【37题详解】
根据上文“Owning a dog keeps you active. (养狗能让你保持活力。)”可知,本段讨论养狗能促进主人保持活跃。本空位于该主题句之后,应解释其原因。E选项“Dogs are naturally energetic and love to play and exercise. (狗天生精力充沛,喜欢玩耍和运动。)”解释了为什么养狗能让人活跃——因为狗自身需要运动,从而促使主人也动起来。并且该选项与下文“dog owners are often inspired toward an active lifestyle to satisfy their dog’s needs”逻辑一致。故选E。
【38题详解】
根据下文“Owning a dog has many heart-healthy benefits, such as a decrease in blood pressure, decreasing the risk of heart disease. (养狗对心脏健康有很多益处,比如降低血压,减少患心脏病的风险。)”可知,本段讨论养狗对心脏健康的益处。空处需作为本段总起句,概括养狗与心脏健康的关系,A选项“Keeping a dog makes you live longer. (养狗能让你活得更久。)”是对本段内容的概括,因为降低心脏病风险、降低血压等益处最终可能延长寿命,且A选项中“makes you live longer”与下文“One study showed that non-dog owners who had survived a heart attack were more likely to die within a year than dog owners.”相呼应,符合逻辑。故选A。
【39题详解】
本段主题为“养狗让人更平静”,根据上文“Dogs provide a calming and familiar presence. (狗狗的存在让人感到平静和亲切。)”可知,狗能提供平静和熟悉的陪伴,空处需解释狗为何能带来平静感,B选项“That decreases stress and anxiety levels. (这会降低压力和焦虑水平。)”直接说明了狗的陪伴如何让人平静,且B选项中的“that”指代上文的“a calming and familiar presence”,逻辑衔接紧密,B选项中的“decreases stress and anxiety”与后文阿尔茨海默病患者焦虑减轻的研究结果相呼应。故选B。
【40题详解】
本段主题是“养狗能促进与他人的交流”,根据上文“Dogs provide a natural connection with other people and are great conversation starters. (狗狗能与其他人建立天然的联系,是开启对话的绝佳话题。)”可知,提到狗是聊天的开端,并列举了常见话题。空白处需说明这些话题的作用,F选项“These conversation starters lead to an immediate social connection. (这些开场白能迅速建立起社交联系。)”中的“these conversation starters”指代上文提到的关于狗的常见问题和评论,呼应了“促进交流”的主题,并解释了狗如何帮助主人与他人产生互动。故选F。

67. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When I was very young, my mother thought it was necessary for me to learn to play a musical instrument, as most parents do nowadays. She asked me what kind of instrument I was interested in. I didn’t have any idea, but I thought playing the drums was cool and interesting. So she took me to enroll in a drum course in the Children’s Palace, where I spent nearly every Sunday morning for two years, practicing playing the drum.
As time went on, I went to middle school. I joined a band as a drummer in my middle school. I thought it would be fun playing the drum in a team and meeting new friends. At first it was easy because of my constant practice during the primary school, but a month later, it got more and more difficult. I was the only one who couldn’t keep pace with the other players. The band consists of students playing the violin, the piano, the guitar and so on. We were in a team; the music was beautiful, but it seemed rather challenging. So I was in low spirits when playing in the band, and the joy of playing music began to fade.
Our teacher, Ms Miller, noticed my struggle and singled me out to keep practicing while everyone else got to relax. With each missed beat, I felt ashamed as my teammates watched me fail so many times. Finally I got so tired of practicing that I no longer cared if it was done right.
“Are you giving up, Steve?” Ms Miller asked gently.
“Yes, I am,” I shouted. Ms Miller sent me inside the music room where I cried out. Then she came in and said, “Don’t be sad. I believe you can make it! ” She told me never to give up and left me alone to think about it. Alone in the music room, I recalled Ms Miller’s words and finally realized she was right. Quitting wasn’t just about giving up on myself; it was about abandoning my team. I couldn’t let my teammates down.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then I decided to go on practicing.

Later, we performed in an important show.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
Then I decided to go on practicing. I took Ms Miller’s words to heart and spent extra hours in the music room after school, focusing on each beat and rhythm until I got them right. It was tough, but as I gradually improved, my confidence grew. My teammates began to notice my progress and supported me with encouraging words. The joy of playing music started to return, and I began to feel like an essential part of the band again.
Later, we performed in an important show. Standing on the stage, I felt a mix of excitement and nerves, but I was ready. As we began our piece, I concentrated on each beat, ensuring my drumming matched the harmony of the team. The performance went smoothly, and the audience applauded loudly as we finished. Ms Miller smiled at me from the side of the stage, and I felt a deep sense of accomplishment. That moment taught me the value of perseverance and teamwork, lessons I would carry with me forever.
【解析】
