Your mental qualities like problem-solving, memory, focus, and attention span change over time, for better or worse. The good news is that brain training exercises can help you increase performance and hold off mental decline as you age. If you want to boost your brainpower, here are some simple things you can work into your day-to-day life!
Find a new path
The routes you take to work, school, or home are probably rooted into your memory. After you’ve done it so many times, it becomes easy. Well, that ease isn’t firing up your neurons! Instead of driving the same roads, take an unexpected turn. You can use side streets instead of the highway and vice versa. Another method to change your route is to open your window if the weather permits and identify the sounds and smells you experience. Change comes in many forms, and these sensory changes can help you remember new roads.
Play observation games
Our brains choose to ignore information it thinks unnecessary. What color shirt was the cashier wearing at the store last time? What was the name of that supporting character on the TV show your roommate was watching? Chances are, you don’t know. But you can — if you choose to pay attention. You can play a daily observation game to improve your focus and memory. Choose one quality to observe and look for it everywhere. For example, you could focus on people’s fashion, their eye colors, or identifying their emotions. By giving your brain a stimulus (刺激), you’re working it out and strengthening it.
Tell stories
No, this one isn’t advice about lying. Your stories should be memories, whether you’ve experienced the story or heard about it from someone else. Every morning, think about a story and then prepare to tell others. If you want, you can even rehearse it. The key is to make it engaging, and if you can, make it more engaging every time you tell it. This will help you in your social life, and it’s a great way to exercise your memory.
1. Why does the author suggest opening the window?
A. To welcome the fresh air. B. To appreciate the scenery.
C. To help you remember new roads. D. To check the local weather conditions
2. Which of the following might the author agree with?
A. Focusing on the details will strengthen your memory.
B. Observing strangers’ clothing may disturb privacy.
C. Playing observation games will only appeal to children.
D. Supporting characters on the show are too minor to notice.
3. Which section of a magazine is the text probably taken from?
A. Science and technology. B. Nature and geography.
C. Language and culture. D. Sports and fitness.
B
In less than two weeks since its release on Jan. 29, at the start of the Chinese New Year holiday, Ne Zha 2, an animated film based loosely on Chinese mythology (神话) and a famous 16th century novel, has become the highest-grossing movie ever in China, with more than $1.3 billion in ticket sales. It is also the first film not made by a Hollywood studio to cross that mark.
Ne Zha 2 is a follow-up to what had been the highest-grossing animated film in China. In the 2019 original, Nezha is born as the rebirth of a demon (恶魔) with supernatural powers, but destined to live only three years. He fights back against his fate and saves his village. In the follow-up, Nezha revisits a similar theme. He challenges the political order and authority governing gods and demons, fighting the Dragon King of the Four Seas and other creatures.
The blockbuster delivered good news for the Chinese film industry, which is struggling with weak ticket sales and a falling economy. “Ne Zha 2 is the rare movie that hits all the marks,” said an independent Chinese film critic. “It targets all groups, and has successfully won over all of them.” The film, distributed by CMC Pictures, will be released in North America on Friday.
China Daily, a state-run newspaper, said in an opinion essay that Ne Zha 2 symbolizes the country’s “growing cultural confidence.” It called it evidence that China’s entertainment industry is telling its own stories instead of relying on Western studios to make movies based on Chinese folklore, citing Mulan from Walt Disney Studios as an example. “Ne Zha 2 reclaims the storytelling duty, proving that no one can narrate China’s myths better than China itself.” the essay stated.
Traditional Chinese culture has also inspired breakthroughs in other forms of entertainment. In video games, Black Myth: Wukong, based on a classic 16th century Chinese novel called “Journey to the West” was an instant hit when it came out last year.
4. What do you know about Ne Zha 2?
A. It follows a totally different theme from its original.
B. It’s an animated film strictly adapted from a Chinese mythology.
C. It tells of a demonic child who fights against his fate and saves his village.
D. It’s the first homegrown film to become the highest-grossing one in China.
5. What most probably contributes to Ne Zha 2’s success?
A. Its releasing time. B. Its appeal to all groups.
C. Its excellent special effects. D. Its professional production team.
6. Why is Black Myth: Wukong mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To prove that Black Myth: Wukong is as good as Ne Zha 2.
B. To indicate that China’s film industry is relying on itself.
C. To boost the growing cultural confidence of Chinese people.
D. To stress the inspiration of traditional Chinese culture in entertainment.
7. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mulan: A Walt Disney product based on Chinese folklore
B. China Daily: A state-run newspaper thinking highly of Ne Zha 2
C. Ne Zha 2: An animated hit breaking box office records at home
D. Ne Zha 2: A home grown animation to be released in North America
C
Shopping has long been a popular way to lift the spirits. Whether it is buying a new outfit or a garage, the act of purchasing something new often brings a sense of joy. This phenomenon, often called “retail therapy”, has become widely accepted despite its potential drawbacks. But why does retail therapy seem to work so well?
First, shopping provides a short-term happiness boost. Research shows that acquiring new items may lead to a surge of excitement and satisfaction. This is especially true when people find something that lines up with their tastes. Additionally, shopping offers emotional distraction, giving individuals a temporary escape from stress or sadness. For many, the process of looking at and selecting items is comforting.
Retail therapy also enhances self-expression and confidence. The items people choose often reflect their values and references, helping them feel more connected to their identities. Finding the “perfect” item or scoring a great deal can create a sense of achievement. Moreover, the act of shopping gives people a feeling of control during times of uncertainty, as they can make choices freely in a controlled environment.
However, retail therapy isn’t only about the purchases. The social aspect of shopping plays a key role too. Going shopping with friends or family fosters bonding and creates shared experiences. These positive interactions contribute to overall happiness and wellbeing.
While retail therapy can provide temporary relief, it’s important to practice moderation. Excessive shopping may lead to financial stress and regrets. Nevertheless, while done mindfully, it can be a valuable tool for improving mood and coping with emotional challenges.
8. What might be the reason for people to engage in retail therapy?
A. Passing their leisure time. B. Experiencing brief happiness.
C. Showing off their belongings. D. Seeking control over material basis.
9. How does shopping help enhance self-esteem?
A. By fostering competition among friends. B. By enabling people to make free choices.
C. By encouraging responsible financial habits. D. By reflecting personal values through purchases.
10. What is a potential downside of retail therapy?
A. It can result in social isolation. B. It may lead to financial problems.
C. It prompts poor time management. D. It lessens emotional bonds with others.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward retail therapy?
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Slightly critical.
C. Completely supportive. D. Entirely dismissive.
D
It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Eating a pastry, cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a “zero-sugar” diet, which might cause nutrient deficiencies and energy crashes, etc., according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden.
The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019. Sugar intake was grouped into three categories: sugary toppings(like honey), sweet treats(like pastries and sweets), and sweetened beverages (like fizzy drinks).Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced (相互对照) against seven types of cardiovascular diseases, including strokes and heart attacks, with several other risk factors(such as smoking) accounted for.
The associations varied between sugar type and heart disease type. Overall though, the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to a sweet treat every now and again.
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways in which we get our sugar: what other foods and drinks we have with the sugar, for example, as well as how regularly we include added sugar in our diet. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically provide less satiety than solid forms — they make you feel less full — potentially leading to overconsumption,” says Janzi. “Context also matters — treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions, while sweetened beverages might be consumed more regularly.”
Bear in mind that these findings hint at relationships, rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences — like damage to teeth for example-and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar.
12. What is the less expected discovery of a new study?
A. A zero-sugar diet proves to be the most healthy one.
B. A sweet tooth is the most likely to develop heart diseases.
C. Eating sweets once in a while may do good to your heart.
D. Consuming too much sugar increases risks of heart diseases.
13. How do researchers conduct the study?
A. By consulting doctors. B. By doing experiments.
C. By analyzing databases. D. By interviewing patients.
14. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Fullness. B. Sweetness. C. Comfort. D. Relief.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The benefits of the findings. B. The limitations of the findings.
C. The application of the findings. D. The further research of the findings.

47. 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。
The final buzzer sounded, signaling the end of my high school basketball career. As I walked off the court for the last time, the scoreboard displayed our disturbing loss: 68-72. My heart sank as I realized I’d never wear the blue and gold jersey again.
The locker room was unusually quiet that night. No one spoke as we changed out of our uniforms. I sat on the wooden bench, staring at the number 23 on my jersey, remembering how proud I’d been when I first earned it three years ago. My fingers traced the slightly worn edges where I’d pulled it on and off countless times.
“Hey, Mike,” Coach Johnson’s voice broke the silence. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
I followed him to his office, the weight of the loss still heavy in my chest.
“Mike,” he began, his voice softer than usual, “I know tonight didn’t go the way we wanted, but I want you to know something.” He leaned forward, his elbows on the desk. “You’ve been the heart of this team for three years. Your leadership, your dedication — it’s been remarkable to watch.”
I opened my mouth to protest, but he held up his hand.
“Basketball is about more than just winning games,” he continued. “It’s about the lessons we learn, the character we build. And you, Mike, have grown into an exceptional young man through this sport.”
As I left the locker room that night, I noticed a group of students waiting outside. Among them was Emily Carter, a quiet girl from my English class who I’d partnered with on a project last semester.
“Mike,” she said hesitantly, stepping forward. “We just wanted to say… thank you.”
I blinked, confused. “Thank me? For what?”
“For always playing with heart,” she said, her voice gaining confidence. “Win or lose, you never gave up. You inspired us to keep trying in our own lives, even when things get tough.”
The other students nodded in agreement, and in that moment, I realized that maybe Coach Johnson was right. Maybe basketball was about more than just the score at the end of the game.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
I stood there, my basketball bag slung over my shoulder, completely astonished by their words.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I got home, the porch light was on, and I could see my parents waiting through the living room window.

In less than two weeks since its release on Jan. 29, at the start of the Chinese New Year holiday, Ne Zha 2, an animated film based loosely on Chinese mythology (神话) and a famous 16th century novel, has become the highest-grossing movie ever in China, with more than $1.3 billion in ticket sales. It is also the first film not made by a Hollywood studio to cross that mark.
Ne Zha 2 is a follow-up to what had been the highest-grossing animated film in China. In the 2019 original, Nezha is born as the rebirth of a demon (恶魔) with supernatural powers, but destined to live only three years. He fights back against his fate and saves his village. In the follow-up, Nezha revisits a similar theme. He challenges the political order and authority governing gods and demons, fighting the Dragon King of the Four Seas and other creatures.
The blockbuster delivered good news for the Chinese film industry, which is struggling with weak ticket sales and a falling economy. “Ne Zha 2 is the rare movie that hits all the marks,” said an independent Chinese film critic. “It targets all groups, and has successfully won over all of them.” The film, distributed by CMC Pictures, will be released in North America on Friday.
China Daily, a state-run newspaper, said in an opinion essay that Ne Zha 2 symbolizes the country’s “growing cultural confidence.” It called it evidence that China’s entertainment industry is telling its own stories instead of relying on Western studios to make movies based on Chinese folklore, citing Mulan from Walt Disney Studios as an example. “Ne Zha 2 reclaims the storytelling duty, proving that no one can narrate China’s myths better than China itself.” the essay stated.
Traditional Chinese culture has also inspired breakthroughs in other forms of entertainment. In video games, Black Myth: Wukong, based on a classic 16th century Chinese novel called “Journey to the West” was an instant hit when it came out last year.
4. What do you know about Ne Zha 2?
A. It follows a totally different theme from its original.
B. It’s an animated film strictly adapted from a Chinese mythology.
C. It tells of a demonic child who fights against his fate and saves his village.
D. It’s the first homegrown film to become the highest-grossing one in China.
5. What most probably contributes to Ne Zha 2’s success?
A. Its releasing time. B. Its appeal to all groups.
C. Its excellent special effects. D. Its professional production team.
6. Why is Black Myth: Wukong mentioned in the last paragraph?
A. To prove that Black Myth: Wukong is as good as Ne Zha 2.
B. To indicate that China’s film industry is relying on itself.
C. To boost the growing cultural confidence of Chinese people.
D. To stress the inspiration of traditional Chinese culture in entertainment.
7. What might be a suitable title for the text?
A. Mulan: A Walt Disney product based on Chinese folklore
B. China Daily: A state-run newspaper thinking highly of Ne Zha 2
C. Ne Zha 2: An animated hit breaking box office records at home
D. Ne Zha 2: A home grown animation to be released in North America

Shopping has long been a popular way to lift the spirits. Whether it is buying a new outfit or a garage, the act of purchasing something new often brings a sense of joy. This phenomenon, often called “retail therapy”, has become widely accepted despite its potential drawbacks. But why does retail therapy seem to work so well?
First, shopping provides a short-term happiness boost. Research shows that acquiring new items may lead to a surge of excitement and satisfaction. This is especially true when people find something that lines up with their tastes. Additionally, shopping offers emotional distraction, giving individuals a temporary escape from stress or sadness. For many, the process of looking at and selecting items is comforting.
Retail therapy also enhances self-expression and confidence. The items people choose often reflect their values and references, helping them feel more connected to their identities. Finding the “perfect” item or scoring a great deal can create a sense of achievement. Moreover, the act of shopping gives people a feeling of control during times of uncertainty, as they can make choices freely in a controlled environment.
However, retail therapy isn’t only about the purchases. The social aspect of shopping plays a key role too. Going shopping with friends or family fosters bonding and creates shared experiences. These positive interactions contribute to overall happiness and wellbeing.
While retail therapy can provide temporary relief, it’s important to practice moderation. Excessive shopping may lead to financial stress and regrets. Nevertheless, while done mindfully, it can be a valuable tool for improving mood and coping with emotional challenges.
8. What might be the reason for people to engage in retail therapy?
A. Passing their leisure time. B. Experiencing brief happiness.
C. Showing off their belongings. D. Seeking control over material basis.
9. How does shopping help enhance self-esteem?
A. By fostering competition among friends. B. By enabling people to make free choices.
C. By encouraging responsible financial habits. D. By reflecting personal values through purchases.
10. What is a potential downside of retail therapy?
A. It can result in social isolation. B. It may lead to financial problems.
C. It prompts poor time management. D. It lessens emotional bonds with others.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward retail therapy?
A. Cautiously optimistic. B. Slightly critical.
C. Completely supportive. D. Entirely dismissive.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. A

It’s probably not surprising that a new study has linked added sugar consumption to an increased risk of heart disease, but a less expected discovery is that those who have an occasional sweet treat appear to be at a reduced risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) problems. Eating a pastry, cake, or chocolate bar every so often may be better for your heart than a “zero-sugar” diet, which might cause nutrient deficiencies and energy crashes, etc., according to the research team from Lund University in Sweden.
The researchers looked at records of 69,705 people in Swedish public health databases. The participants, aged between 45 and 83, were quizzed on their diet and lifestyle in 1997 and 2009, then tracked up to 2019. Sugar intake was grouped into three categories: sugary toppings(like honey), sweet treats(like pastries and sweets), and sweetened beverages (like fizzy drinks).Type of added sugar consumed was then cross-referenced (相互对照) against seven types of cardiovascular diseases, including strokes and heart attacks, with several other risk factors(such as smoking) accounted for.
The associations varied between sugar type and heart disease type. Overall though, the lowest risks across all cardiovascular diseases were found in those who limited themselves to a sweet treat every now and again.
There’s a lot to consider when it comes to the different ways in which we get our sugar: what other foods and drinks we have with the sugar, for example, as well as how regularly we include added sugar in our diet. “Liquid sugars, found in sweetened beverages, typically provide less satiety than solid forms — they make you feel less full — potentially leading to overconsumption,” says Janzi. “Context also matters — treats are often enjoyed in social settings or special occasions, while sweetened beverages might be consumed more regularly.”
Bear in mind that these findings hint at relationships, rather than proving cause and effect. They also don’t factor in other health consequences — like damage to teeth for example-and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar.
12. What is the less expected discovery of a new study?
A. A zero-sugar diet proves to be the most healthy one.
B. A sweet tooth is the most likely to develop heart diseases.
C. Eating sweets once in a while may do good to your heart.
D. Consuming too much sugar increases risks of heart diseases.
13. How do researchers conduct the study?
A. By consulting doctors. B. By doing experiments.
C. By analyzing databases. D. By interviewing patients.
14. What does the underlined word “satiety” in paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Fullness. B. Sweetness. C. Comfort. D. Relief.
15. What does the last paragraph mainly tell us?
A. The benefits of the findings. B. The limitations of the findings.
C. The application of the findings. D. The further research of the findings.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. A 15. B

【15题详解】

They also don’t factor in other health consequences — like damage to teeth for example-and need to be taken in context with what we already know about sugar.(请记住,这些发现暗示了关系,而不是证明因果关系。它们也没有考虑到其他的健康后果,比如对牙齿的损害,需要结合我们对糖的了解来考虑)”可知,本段主要说明这个新发现的局限性。故选B。

Are the boundaries between family life and work life unclear because of technology?(所有的电子邮件和社交媒体通知是否让你感到焦虑或沮丧?不得不学习另一款新软件会让你感到压力吗?由于科技的发展,家庭生活和工作生活之间的界限变得模糊了吗?)”通过三个并列问句描述技术影响人们的场景;空后“The term is used to describe the negative psychological effect that using new technologies can have.(这个词用来描述使用新技术可能产生的负面心理影响。)”提到这个术语的影响。所以空处内容应是对三个场景的解释或拓展,且涉及一个术语,使The term有所指,E项“你可能正在经历一种被称为技术压 力的现象”能概括上述问题,且technostress与The term呼应。故选E项。
【17题详解】
空前“Technostress can be broken down into a few subcategories including techno-overload, techno-complexity and techno-invasion.(技术压力可以分为几个子类,包括技术超载、技术复杂性和技术入侵。)”提到了技术压力的几种子类别,故空处内容应涉及这些子类别。对比选项可知,A项中的“All of them”可承接上文,指代“techno-overload, techno-complexity and techno-invasion”,所以A选项“所有这些都会对健康产生重大影响。”起到承上启下作用。故选A项。

【19题详解】
空后“Acknowledge that it’s a sign of strength and courage to recognize a mental health challenge and take steps to manage it. Experts encourage people struggling with technostress to take steps in the workplace to get involved in how technology may be used.(承认这是一种力量和勇气的标志,认识到心理健康的挑战,并采取措施来管理它。专家们鼓励那些与技术压力作斗争的人在工作场所采取措施,了解如何使用技术。)”提到了对待技术压力的态度,是所有G项“首先要做的是接受有技术压力是正常的”能概括下文内容,符合语境。故选G项。
【20题详解】
空前“Taking time each day to get outside is also a great way. By all accounts, there’s almost nothing that aids in stress management so much as a few hours spent in the park, the woods or the mountains.(每天花点时间出去走走也是一个很好的方法。大家都说,几乎没有什么比在公园、树林或山上呆上几个小时更能帮助管理压力了。)”提到了花点时间出去走走,所以C项“对大多数人来说,这样的时间是现成的资源。”能承接上文,且Such time与空前的a few hours spent in the park,the woods or the mountains呼应。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了贵州铜仁叶脉绣的历史、制作工艺、价值以及传承现状。
【36题详解】
考查时态和语态。句意:叶脉绣最早出现在宋代(960 - 1279),从那时起,西南地区的几个少数民族就一直用它来传递信息。根据时间状语ever since可知,该句表示的是过去发生的动作对现在的影响,谓语动词应用现在完成时,主语Leaf - vein embroidery与use之间是被动关系,所以用现在完成时的被动语态,故填has been used。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这项技艺的传承人杨丽,将苗族、土家族和侗族的传统刺绣融入树叶中,展示了传统美学与现代工艺的结合。空白处在句子中作状语,表示一个自然而然的结果,使用现在分词,故填showcasing。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:叶脉绣艺术品由于其复杂的制作工艺,具有很高的收藏和艺术价值。根据空后的名词value可知,此处应用形容词修饰名词作定语,故填artistic。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些叶子采自铜仁梵净山景区原始森林中的珍稀植物,叶脉较硬且即将在秋季掉落,是最好的原材料。此处应用过去分词作状语,表被动和完成,故填Obtained。
【40题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:这些叶子采自铜仁梵净山景区原始森林中的珍稀植物,叶脉较硬且即将在秋季掉落,是最好的原材料。空处引导定语从句,修饰先行词veins,且在从句中作主语,指物,所以用关系代词that或which引导定语从句,故填that/which。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在接下来的20天里自然软化后,树叶会被加热和烟熏以保存它们。此处应用动词不定式作状语表示目的,故填to preserve。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:变软后,树叶也非常脆弱。根据空后的形容词fragile可知,此处应用副词修饰形容词做状语,故填 extremely。
【43题详解】
考查介词。句意:受古代故事和自然启发的图案被绘制在处理过的叶脉上。根据句意,此处表示“在……上”,应用介词on,故填on。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意:由于制作过程繁琐,高质量产品的产量低,传承这门传统技艺面临挑战。空白处在句子中作宾语,使用名词,此处指面临多种挑战,应用名词复数,故填challenges。
【45题详解】
考查连词。句意:杨丽说:“我已经把这项技艺介绍给了大学、社区、村庄,甚至挑选了有技能的绣工来学习叶脉绣技艺,但很少有人能够坚持下来。” 根据“I have introduced this technique to universities, communities, villages and even selected skilled embroiderers to learn leaf-vein embroidery skills (我向大学、社区、村庄甚至一些选定的熟练刺绣工介绍了这种技术,让他们学习叶脉刺绣技艺)”以及“very few have been able to persevere(很少有人能够坚持下来)”可知,前后句之间是转折关系,使用表示转折关系的连词,故填but/yet。

47. 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。
The final buzzer sounded, signaling the end of my high school basketball career. As I walked off the court for the last time, the scoreboard displayed our disturbing loss: 68-72. My heart sank as I realized I’d never wear the blue and gold jersey again.
The locker room was unusually quiet that night. No one spoke as we changed out of our uniforms. I sat on the wooden bench, staring at the number 23 on my jersey, remembering how proud I’d been when I first earned it three years ago. My fingers traced the slightly worn edges where I’d pulled it on and off countless times.
“Hey, Mike,” Coach Johnson’s voice broke the silence. “Can I talk to you for a minute?”
I followed him to his office, the weight of the loss still heavy in my chest.
“Mike,” he began, his voice softer than usual, “I know tonight didn’t go the way we wanted, but I want you to know something.” He leaned forward, his elbows on the desk. “You’ve been the heart of this team for three years. Your leadership, your dedication — it’s been remarkable to watch.”
I opened my mouth to protest, but he held up his hand.
“Basketball is about more than just winning games,” he continued. “It’s about the lessons we learn, the character we build. And you, Mike, have grown into an exceptional young man through this sport.”
As I left the locker room that night, I noticed a group of students waiting outside. Among them was Emily Carter, a quiet girl from my English class who I’d partnered with on a project last semester.
“Mike,” she said hesitantly, stepping forward. “We just wanted to say… thank you.”
I blinked, confused. “Thank me? For what?”
“For always playing with heart,” she said, her voice gaining confidence. “Win or lose, you never gave up. You inspired us to keep trying in our own lives, even when things get tough.”
The other students nodded in agreement, and in that moment, I realized that maybe Coach Johnson was right. Maybe basketball was about more than just the score at the end of the game.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

【答案】One possible version
I stood there, my basketball bag slung over my shoulder, completely astonished by their words. My throat tightened as I struggled to find the right response. “I…I don’t know what to say,” I finally managed, my voice cracking slightly. “I thought tonight was a failure, but hearing this…it means more than any game we could have won.” Emily stepped forward and handed me a small blue and gold ribbon — our school colors. “We made these for the whole team,” she explained. “to remind you that you’re all champions to us, no matter what the scoreboard says.” As I took the ribbon, I felt a warmth spread through me, melting away the disappointment of the loss.
When I got home, the porch light was on, and I could see my parents waiting through the living room window. As I opened the door, my little sister came running, her eyes wide with excitement. “Mike! Mike! Did you win?” she asked eagerly. I knelt down to her level and showed her the ribbon. “We didn’t win the game,” I said, “but something even more important happened tonight.” As we sat around the kitchen table, I told them about the students’ unexpected show of support. My mom’s eyes glistened with tears as she listened, and my dad put a firm hand on my shoulder. “That,” he said, “is what true victory looks like.” That night, as I lay in bed, the ribbon pinned to my bulletin board, I realized that while my time as a high school basketball player was over, the lessons and connections I’d made would stay with me forever.

【详解】1.段落续写:
