Yet chaining myself to other professions frightened me even more. So I set foot on Iceland as an exchange student, giving myself one more year to decide what to do with my life. However, after a month of living in Iceland, I was still unaccustomed. The cold wind, the unfamiliar language, and the long nights only deepened my uncertainty. One day, in class, I started writing a poem on my notebook. Outside, Mount Tindastóll’s snowy heights were lit in pink from the late sunrise. It was as if the mountain was on fire with soft, warm light. I became so absorbed in pressing its beauty onto paper that I did not notice my teacher, Geirlaugur, until he cleared his throat and asked, “Poetry?” My face turned red. “Sorry,” I said, expecting to be told to focus on the lesson. Geirlaugur called me to his desk the next day. I was expecting criticism, but instead he handed me a collection of Icelandic nature poems. He told me, “Keep going, and your work will be published one day. Onwards.” I was speechless. For the first time, someone had taken my writing seriously. That thin book of poems became my treasure. From that day on, my relationship with Iceland shifted. I threw myself into reading Icelandic novels, found friendship and belonging, and realized that Icelanders respect writers. One friend told me proudly that Iceland is a nation of writers: one in ten would publish a book. I began to see the land not as cold and foreign, but as alive with stories waiting to be told. I would not have become a writer were it not for Iceland. She renewed my confidence in the worthiness of writing. Her mountains remain my inspiration. And if I ever feel the old doubt creeping back, I close my eyes and hear Geirlaugur’s voice, “Onwards.” 4. Why did the author go to Iceland? A. To decide on her future path. B. To escape from social pressure. C. To find new inspiration for writing. D. To learn Icelandic from the natives. 5. Which of the following best describes Geirlaugur? A. Calm and modest. B. Strict and responsible. C. Humorous and easygoing. D. Encouraging and insightful. 6. What did the author do after receiving the poetry collection? A. She buried herself in Icelandic novels. B. She followed Geirlaugur’s career path. C. She published her first poem in Iceland. D. She wrote more poems about mountains. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Iceland: A Nation of Writers. B. A Memorable Stay in Iceland. C. How a Teacher Shaped My Career. D. Onwards: Iceland Led Me to Writing. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. A 7. D 【解析】 【导语】主要讲述作者热爱写作却自我怀疑，前往冰岛交换，在老师鼓励下重拾写作信心，冰岛最终指引她走上作家道路。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“So I set foot on Iceland as an exchange student, giving myself one more year to decide what to do with my life.(于是我踏上冰岛成为交换生，再多给自己一年时间，来决定我这一生该做什么。)”可知，作者前往冰岛是为了确定自己未来的发展道路。 【5题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“I was expecting criticism, but instead he handed me a collection of Icelandic nature poems. He told me, “Keep going, and your work will be published one day. Onwards.”(我本等着挨批评，可他反倒递给我一本冰岛自然诗集。他对我说：“坚持写下去，你的作品总有一天会出版。向前走。”)”可知，老师懂得发现作者的写作天赋并给予鼓励，是善于鼓舞人心、富有见地的人。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“From that day on, my relationship with Iceland shifted. I threw myself into reading Icelandic novels, found friendship and belonging, and realized that Icelanders respect writers.(从那天起，我与冰岛之间的关系发生了转变。我全身心投入阅读冰岛小说，收获了友谊与归属感，也意识到冰岛人敬重作家。)”可知，收到诗集后作者埋头阅读冰岛小说。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是尾段中的“I would not have become a writer were it not for Iceland. She renewed my confidence in the worthiness of writing. And if I ever feel the old doubt creeping back, I close my eyes and hear Geirlaugur’s voice, “Onwards.”(如果不是冰岛，我不会成为一名作家。她重新燃起了我对写作价值的信心。每当旧日的疑虑悄悄袭来，我闭上双眼，便能听见盖尔劳古尔的声音：“向前走。”)”可知，文章围绕作者在冰岛得到老师鼓励，重拾写作信心、最终走上写作道路展开，“Onwards: Iceland Led Me to Writing(向前走：冰岛带我奔赴写作)”概括了文章的主题，适合作为最佳标题。 C Popular among fashion celebrities, Labubu, a small, bunny-like toy with a doll’s face produced by Pop Mart, has become a street style item as bag charms since 2024. Unless you’re directly connected to the creator, your only way of getting a Labubu is by trying your luck at a Pop Mart store or paying resale (零售) and auction (拍卖) prices. The $20 to $30 retail prices for general releases often skyrocket on the secondary market, with rare pieces selling for hundreds of times their original price. According to experts, this craze reveals meaningful insights into today’s luxury consumers. Facing economic challenges and climate chaos, audiences are lowering purchasing power as they mature. In this context, toys like Labubu offer a form of escapism, which has led to an undeniable increase in “kidult” customers in recent years, with a real appetite for nostalgic (怀旧的) joy and perhaps a simpler time. For fans, styling them with luxury handbags helps show off their personality and refresh their style. Labubu’s exposed teeth and striking colors represent the ugly-cute aesthetic (美学), offering an alternative to today’s unrealistic standards of perfection. The continued hunger for Labubu is a definitive proof that its “ugly-cute” aesthetic has struck a universal chord. The success of Labubu owes much to the blind box format. “The nature of the blind box itself is addictive. It’s super rare that you get the one that you actually want. So you keep buying more,” says Maria. Tora Northman adds, “The blind box concept is the reason why they’re all so exciting — it’s not just buying a toy. Actually, it is taking part in the unboxing experience.” The ritual (仪式) of unboxing fuels consumers’ desire to repeat the experience, which leads to repeat purchases. And, because they love it so much, they share the unboxing experience on their favorite social media platforms. The thrill of joining a popular craze and owning sought-after items ultimately drives more shoppers. 8. What can we learn about getting a Labubu from paragraph 1? A. It centers on auction sales. B. It calls for celebrity approval. C. It comes through luck or resale. D. It relies on personal connections. 9. Why do “kidult” customers favor Labubu? A. It matches luxury handbags. B. It offers comfort and nostalgia. C. It helps fight economic challenges. D. It shows their strong economic power. 10. What does the “ugly-cute” aesthetic challenge? A. High-end luxury designs. B. Modern celebrities’ tastes. C. Impractical perfection ideals. D. Traditional toy appearances. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The magic of blind boxes. B. The ugly-cute trend in toys. C. The rise of kidult consumers. D. The reasons for Labubu’s craze. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】文章分析泡泡玛特拉布布火爆出圈的多重原因：满足成年人怀旧解压需求、独特丑萌审美受人喜爱，盲盒玩法和社交分享进一步助推这股潮流。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“Unless you’re directly connected to the creator, your only way of getting a Labubu is by trying your luck at a Pop Mart store or paying resale (零售) and auction (拍卖) prices.(除非你和创作者有直接人脉，否则买到拉布布只有两种途径：在泡泡玛特门店碰运气，或是支付二手转卖、拍卖价格入手。)”可知，获取拉布布只能靠碰运气或二手渠道。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“In this context, toys like Labubu offer a form of escapism, which has led to an undeniable increase in “kidult” customers in recent years, with a real appetite for nostalgic (怀旧的) joy and perhaps a simpler time.(在这样的环境下，拉布布这类玩具提供了一种逃避现实的方式，近年来童心未泯的成年人消费者数量明显增多，他们渴望怀旧带来的愉悦，怀念简单纯粹的时光。)”可知，童心未泯的成年人消费者喜爱拉布布是因为它能带来心灵慰藉与怀旧感。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Labubu’s exposed teeth and striking colors represent the ugly-cute aesthetic (美学), offering an alternative to today’s unrealistic standards of perfection.(拉布布外露的牙齿、亮眼配色代表丑萌美学，为当下不切实际的完美标准提供另一种选择。)”可知，丑萌美学挑战了脱离现实的完美主义观念。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“According to experts, this craze reveals meaningful insights into today’s luxury consumers.(专家称这股热潮能反映当下奢侈品消费者的心理。)”、第二段拉布布满足成年人怀旧逃避需求、第三段丑萌美学广受喜爱、第四段盲盒模式刺激重复消费与社交传播可知，全文从消费心理、美学风格、销售模式多角度分析拉布布火爆的多重原因。 D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: traditional ice melts, leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher. “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin — a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water during both freezing and thawing. After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. Which best describes jelly ice? A. Fast-freezing and solid. B. Reusable and eco-friendly. C. Inexpensive and convenient. D. Unchangeable and small-sized. 13. What does the underlined word “thawing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Losing its structure. B. Spreading bacteria. C. Melting into liquid. D. Staying frozen solid. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The broad uses of jelly ice. B. Problems of traditional ice. C. How jelly ice preserves food. D. Jelly ice’s role in pollution reduction. 15. What can be inferred about jelly ice from the last paragraph? A. It has been mass-produced. B. It has got official approval. C. It is based on plant proteins. D. It is on sale in grocery stores. 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文主要介绍了美国加州大学戴维斯分校研究人员研发的新型制冷材料果冻冰，文章讲述了果冻冰的研发背景、自身特点、优势、应用场景及发展现状。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing.(在零度以下保持坚硬，室温下变软，只需清洗后重新冷冻即可重复使用。)”和第四段“The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution(该材料由天然成分制成，使用后可生物降解，不会造成微塑料污染)”可知，果冻冰可重复使用且环保。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据文章第三段“Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin — a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water during both freezing(为了寻找更安全的海鲜陈列方案，团队转而使用了明胶——一种食品级材料，其蛋白质结构在冷冻和thawing过程中都可以锁住水分)”可知，freezing(冷冻)和thawing是对应相反的过程，冷冻过程对应冰融化的过程，即thawing意为“融化成液体”。 【14题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章第五段“Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications.(除了杂货店之外，果冻冰还可能有广泛的应用。)”且该段后续列举了果冻冰在医疗运输、生物技术等多个领域的应用可知，第五段主要介绍了果冻冰的广泛用途。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing.(尽管该技术的许可证已获得，但果冻冰尚未开放向公众销售。目前仍需进行市场分析、产品设计以及大规模生产测试。)”可知，该果冻冰技术已经获得了官方批准。 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。 Practise Your Leadership Qualities What is leadership? ____16____ In today’s fast-changing world, several core qualities stand out as essential to effective and respected leadership.

Kids hurried off, messing up the once spotless lobby (大厅), so I had to clean it all over again. The work took up my entire day, yet I was paid very little in return. Then I was assigned to work at the drive-through (汽车外卖窗口). The non-stop dinging in my ear would drive me crazy. Noisy vehicles hurt my ears, drowning out the voice of the person who was ordering. Some people spoke so softly that I assumed they were talking to each other. Yet later, they yelled at me because I failed to respond. There were also people who were talking among themselves when ordering and got mad at me when I asked them to check their orders. Some people left their radios on, which also drowned out their voices. Others, with an unpleasant smell of smoke, came to the window, talking rudely, and shouting at their family members. They changed their orders many times but still blamed me for getting their orders wrong. I gradually became afraid of going to work, feeling unhappy the moment I got to work, and even lost my temper easily after work. Soon I realized this situation couldn’t last. Nothing would change unless I changed myself. I had two choices: either feel terrible all day and hate my life, or find a way to stay positive at work. So I decided that for just one day, I would say something nice to everyone who came to my drive-through window. 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。 Honestly, it was easier said than done. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The most amazing thing of all, though, wasn’t my own reaction, but theirs. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Honestly, it was easier said than done. The next day, the drive-through was as chaotic as ever, with the endless dinging and angry voices filling my ears. Taking a deep breath, I forced a smile and greeted the first rude customer with a cheerful “Have a wonderful day!” My voice felt awkward, but to my surprise, he paused, looked at me, and mumbled a quiet “thanks.” Emboldened, I continued offering kind words and sincere smiles to every impatient driver. As the shift went on, the heavy weight in my chest began to lift, and the annoying noises didn’t seem so unbearable anymore. The most amazing thing of all, though, wasn’t my own reaction, but theirs. The angry customers gradually softened their tones, and some even returned my smiles warmly. A tired mother thanked me for my patience, and a grumpy teenager wished me a good evening. By the end of the day, the drive-through felt completely different. I realized that my positive attitude acted like a mirror, reflecting back the kindness I offered. From that day on, I chose to bring light to my workplace, discovering that a simple act of warmth could truly change everything. 【解析】 【导语】本文以心态转变为线索展开，讲述作者在快餐店工作，整日面对嘈杂环境与顾客的刁难，身心疲惫、情绪糟糕。为改变现状，作者决定用善意和微笑对待每一位顾客，最终以积极心态改变工作氛围、收获成长的故事。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写作者践行善意服务顾客，过程虽不易，却慢慢平复心态，不再厌烦工作。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写作者的善意打动顾客，对方态度转变，作者领悟积极心态可以改变周遭一切。 2.续写线索：践行善意——克服不适——平复心态——顾客转变——氛围改善——感悟成长 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①充满：fill /stuff ②发现：discover/find 情绪类 ①尴尬：awkward/embarrassed ②惊讶：surprise/amazement 【点睛】[高分句型1] Taking a deep breath, I forced a smile and greeted the first rude customer with a cheerful “Have a wonderful day!”（运用了现在分词短语作状语） [高分句型2] I realized that my positive attitude acted like a mirror, reflecting back the kindness I offered.（运用了that引导的宾语从句以及现在分词短语作状语） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 秘密★启用前 九江市2025-2026学年度下学期期末考试 高二英语试题卷 本试卷分第Ⅰ卷（选择题）和第Ⅱ卷（非选择题）两部分；满分150分，考试时间120分钟。 第Ⅰ卷（选择题，满分95分） 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段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段录音后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段录音播放两遍。 1.

B From a young age, I had needed to write as one needs to breathe, but social values convinced me that writing wasn’t worthy. “Writing won’t pay the bills,” people said. Yet chaining myself to other professions frightened me even more. So I set foot on Iceland as an exchange student, giving myself one more year to decide what to do with my life. However, after a month of living in Iceland, I was still unaccustomed. The cold wind, the unfamiliar language, and the long nights only deepened my uncertainty. One day, in class, I started writing a poem on my notebook. Outside, Mount Tindastóll’s snowy heights were lit in pink from the late sunrise. It was as if the mountain was on fire with soft, warm light. I became so absorbed in pressing its beauty onto paper that I did not notice my teacher, Geirlaugur, until he cleared his throat and asked, “Poetry?” My face turned red. “Sorry,” I said, expecting to be told to focus on the lesson. Geirlaugur called me to his desk the next day. I was expecting criticism, but instead he handed me a collection of Icelandic nature poems. He told me, “Keep going, and your work will be published one day. Onwards.” I was speechless. For the first time, someone had taken my writing seriously. That thin book of poems became my treasure. From that day on, my relationship with Iceland shifted. I threw myself into reading Icelandic novels, found friendship and belonging, and realized that Icelanders respect writers. One friend told me proudly that Iceland is a nation of writers: one in ten would publish a book. I began to see the land not as cold and foreign, but as alive with stories waiting to be told. I would not have become a writer were it not for Iceland. She renewed my confidence in the worthiness of writing. Her mountains remain my inspiration. And if I ever feel the old doubt creeping back, I close my eyes and hear Geirlaugur’s voice, “Onwards.” 4. Why did the author go to Iceland? A. To decide on her future path. B. To escape from social pressure. C. To find new inspiration for writing. D. To learn Icelandic from the natives. 5. Which of the following best describes Geirlaugur? A. Calm and modest. B. Strict and responsible. C. Humorous and easygoing. D. Encouraging and insightful. 6. What did the author do after receiving the poetry collection? A. She buried herself in Icelandic novels. B. She followed Geirlaugur’s career path. C. She published her first poem in Iceland. D. She wrote more poems about mountains. 7. What can be the best title for the text? A. Iceland: A Nation of Writers. B. A Memorable Stay in Iceland. C. How a Teacher Shaped My Career. D. Onwards: Iceland Led Me to Writing. C Popular among fashion celebrities, Labubu, a small, bunny-like toy with a doll’s face produced by Pop Mart, has become a street style item as bag charms since 2024. Unless you’re directly connected to the creator, your only way of getting a Labubu is by trying your luck at a Pop Mart store or paying resale (零售) and auction (拍卖) prices. The $20 to $30 retail prices for general releases often skyrocket on the secondary market, with rare pieces selling for hundreds of times their original price. According to experts, this craze reveals meaningful insights into today’s luxury consumers. Facing economic challenges and climate chaos, audiences are lowering purchasing power as they mature. In this context, toys like Labubu offer a form of escapism, which has led to an undeniable increase in “kidult” customers in recent years, with a real appetite for nostalgic (怀旧的) joy and perhaps a simpler time. For fans, styling them with luxury handbags helps show off their personality and refresh their style. Labubu’s exposed teeth and striking colors represent the ugly-cute aesthetic (美学), offering an alternative to today’s unrealistic standards of perfection. The continued hunger for Labubu is a definitive proof that its “ugly-cute” aesthetic has struck a universal chord. The success of Labubu owes much to the blind box format. “The nature of the blind box itself is addictive. It’s super rare that you get the one that you actually want. So you keep buying more,” says Maria. Tora Northman adds, “The blind box concept is the reason why they’re all so exciting — it’s not just buying a toy. Actually, it is taking part in the unboxing experience.” The ritual (仪式) of unboxing fuels consumers’ desire to repeat the experience, which leads to repeat purchases. And, because they love it so much, they share the unboxing experience on their favorite social media platforms. The thrill of joining a popular craze and owning sought-after items ultimately drives more shoppers. 8. What can we learn about getting a Labubu from paragraph 1? A. It centers on auction sales. B. It calls for celebrity approval. C. It comes through luck or resale. D. It relies on personal connections. 9. Why do “kidult” customers favor Labubu? A. It matches luxury handbags. B. It offers comfort and nostalgia. C. It helps fight economic challenges. D. It shows their strong economic power. 10. What does the “ugly-cute” aesthetic challenge? A. High-end luxury designs. B. Modern celebrities’ tastes. C. Impractical perfection ideals. D. Traditional toy appearances. 11. What is the text mainly about? A. The magic of blind boxes. B. The ugly-cute trend in toys. C. The rise of kidult consumers. D. The reasons for Labubu’s craze. D Keeping food cold often comes with a hidden problem: traditional ice melts, leaving pools of water that can make drinks watery, damage products, or even spread dangerous bacteria. Now, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have created jelly ice, a reusable and biodegradable (可生物降解的) alternative that cools like ice but never melts into liquid. The new material is made of 90% water and can be shaped into various forms. It stays solid below freezing, softens at room temperature, and can be reused by simply washing and refreezing. “Compared to regular ice of the same shape and size, jelly ice has up to 80% of the cooling efficiency,” said Jiahan Zou, a study researcher. “We can reuse the material and maintain the heat absorbance across multiple cooling and warming cycles, an advantage that regular ice cannot offer.” The project began when UC Davis food scientists noticed how much ice was used in fish-processing plants and how meltwater could spread bacteria. Seeking a safer option for grocery seafood displays, the team turned to gelatin — a food-safe material whose protein structure can trap water during both freezing and thawing. After years of testing, the researchers perfected a simple, one-step process for making jelly ice. The material is made from natural components and can be biodegraded after use. It doesn’t contribute to microplastic pollution, even offering a side benefit of improving tomato plant growth when added to soil. Beyond grocery stores, jelly ice could have wide applications. It could help preserve medical supplies during shipping, reduce waste in biotechnology, and provide reliable cooling options. It promises fresher food shipments without the mess of melting ice packs while also offering a sustainable alternative that reduces pollution risks and supports agriculture. Although licenses for the technology have already been secured, jelly ice is not yet available for public purchase. It still requires market analysis, product design, and large-scale production testing. Inspired by its success, the team is now studying other natural polymers, such as plant-based proteins, to see if similar innovations can be developed. 12. Which best describes jelly ice? A. Fast-freezing and solid. B. Reusable and eco-friendly. C. Inexpensive and convenient. D. Unchangeable and small-sized. 13. What does the underlined word “thawing” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Losing its structure. B. Spreading bacteria. C. Melting into liquid. D. Staying frozen solid. 14. What is paragraph 5 mainly about? A. The broad uses of jelly ice. B. Problems of traditional ice. C. How jelly ice preserves food. D. Jelly ice’s role in pollution reduction. 15. What can be inferred about jelly ice from the last paragraph? A. It has been mass-produced. B. It has got official approval. C. It is based on plant proteins. D. It is on sale in grocery stores. 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。 Practise Your Leadership Qualities What is leadership? ____16____ In today’s fast-changing world, several core qualities stand out as essential to effective and respected leadership.

And I hated it. Buses always arrived right before closing time. Kids hurried off, messing up the once spotless lobby (大厅), so I had to clean it all over again. The work took up my entire day, yet I was paid very little in return. Then I was assigned to work at the drive-through (汽车外卖窗口). The non-stop dinging in my ear would drive me crazy. Noisy vehicles hurt my ears, drowning out the voice of the person who was ordering. Some people spoke so softly that I assumed they were talking to each other. Yet later, they yelled at me because I failed to respond. There were also people who were talking among themselves when ordering and got mad at me when I asked them to check their orders. Some people left their radios on, which also drowned out their voices. Others, with an unpleasant smell of smoke, came to the window, talking rudely, and shouting at their family members. They changed their orders many times but still blamed me for getting their orders wrong. I gradually became afraid of going to work, feeling unhappy the moment I got to work, and even lost my temper easily after work. Soon I realized this situation couldn’t last. Nothing would change unless I changed myself. I had two choices: either feel terrible all day and hate my life, or find a way to stay positive at work. So I decided that for just one day, I would say something nice to everyone who came to my drive-through window. 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。 Honestly, it was easier said than done. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The most amazing thing of all, though, wasn’t my own reaction, but theirs. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
