The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease — and for which there is no cure. Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. “My dream of dancing died that day,” she says, adding that she felt lonely when she couldn’t join her friends on the sports field. Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born. At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, “I exceed (超出) my expectations,” she says. She’s also found love: “My fiance, Tiago, has always supported me. He comes with me to cardiology visits, reminds me to take my medication and does things like carry the shopping bag for me.” Reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, Chato feels pride. “Despite all the sad times I have been through, I am alive. I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping, I get to watch my nephews grow up,” she says. “25 years ago there was not as much hope for people with PAH. My advice to anyone is: Be happy, enjoy every minute of your life and don’t give up.” 24. What caused Chato to develop PAH? A. The failed operation. B. Her lack of exercise. C. Her heart condition. D. The lung infection. 25. Why did Chato give up her dream? A. She was unwilling to see others. B. Her interest in dancing was reduced. C. She had to receive treatment. D. Her physical state worsened. 26. How did Chato manage her work? A. By getting extra breaks. B. By changing work pace. C. By asking others for help. D. By showing more patience. 27. Which words can best describe Chato? A. Courageous and tough. B. Energetic and talkative. C. Considerate and gifted. D. Humorous and modest. 【答案】24. C 25. D 26. B 27. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了Catarina Rosa Morais Chato患有先天性心脏病后又患PAH，经治疗坚持工作，她以自身经历鼓励人们热爱生活、永不放弃的事迹。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease(她患上了肺动脉高压（PAH），这是一种心脏和肺部的高血压，可能与先天性心脏病有关)”可知，Chato患上肺动脉高压可能与先天性心脏病有关，故选C。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. ‘My dream of dancing died that day,’ she says(她的症状包括咳嗽、疲惫、胸痛和头晕，尤其是在爬楼梯的时候。她被告知要停止一切形式的运动，因为体育活动对她的身体太消耗了。‘我的舞蹈梦想在那天破灭了，’她说)”可知，Chato放弃她的梦想是因为身体状况恶化，故选D。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, ‘I exceed (超出) my expectations,’ she says.(起初，她觉得长时间站着很累。但多亏了灵活的时间安排，以及学着按照自己的节奏去做，‘我超出了自己的预期，’她说)”可知，Chato是通过改变工作节奏来胜任自己的工作的，故选B。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“Catarina Rosa Morais Chato had heart surgery when she was just 6 months old to repair a hole in her heart. The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)(Catarina Rosa Morais Chato在6个月大的时候做了心脏手术来修复心脏上的一个洞。手术有效地堵住了这个洞，但四年后，她患上了肺动脉高压（PAH）)”、第三段中“Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born.(在她的诊断之后，她很快开始治疗，以帮助控制她的症状，这使她能够过着相当正常的生活。这包括在她出生的同一家医院担任个人护理助理，帮助护士)”和最后一段中“I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping(我工作，开车，旅行，做家务)”可知，Chato身患顽疾，但她克服挑战正常生活和工作，故她勇敢且坚强，故选A。 C Being bored is no fun, especially at work. However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit. In a study, 52 participants were given a boring task of separating red from green beans for 30 minutes, while another group of 49 participants was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue. Then both groups were instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task. Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s lead author, Guihyun Park. “People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to find novelty, which can lead to unique thinking and bring out creativity.” Moreover, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored. Finally, Park admits that not every type of job allows a state of boredom, and it really can be detrimental to some important work. “I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park. “Also, those jobs require less creativity but much attention to details instead; boredom won’t help much there.” But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever. 28. What did the recent study find about boredom? A. It improves work efficiency. B. It raises people’s patience. C. It inspires creative ideas. D. It leads to negative feelings. 29. Which kind of people are more likely to benefit from boredom? A. People who are afraid of change. B. People who are willing to try new things. C. People who tend to focus on details. D. People who enjoy competing with others. 30. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Attractive. B. Necessary. C. Harmful. D. Challenging. 31. Why does the author mention J.K. Rowling in the last paragraph? A. To prove the importance of creativity and imagination. B. To encourage people to stay bored in their daily life. C. To show the power of embracing boredom. D. To explain the creation process of the Harry Potter series. 【答案】28. C 29. B 30. C 31. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究表明无聊可能激发创造力并介绍了相关研究及观点。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project.(令人惊讶的是，执行无聊任务的小组比参与艺术项目的小组产生了更多数量和更高质量的创意。)”可知，最近的研究发现无聊能激发创意想法。故选C。 【29题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored.(研究人员在一项实验中发现，乐于接受新体验并致力于实现特定目标的参与者更有可能从无聊中看到积极影响。)”可知，愿意尝试新事物的人更有可能从无聊中受益。故选B。 【30题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第四段中“I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad(我想说的是，在需要时刻保持警惕的安全工作中，比如警察或保安，无聊会让你的思想走神，这真的很糟糕)”可知，在需要保持警惕的工作中，无聊会使思想走神，这是非常糟糕的，因此不是所有类型的工作都允许无聊的状态，它真的会对一些重要的工作有害。由此可知，detrimental意思是“有害的”。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever.(但对于设计师和任何从事创意领域的人来说，无聊并不是什么可怕的事情，而是应该接受。哈利波特系列小说的作者J.K.罗琳分享了她如何花几个小时坐在火车上，让自己的思绪飘荡，为自己的故事想出新点子。这种无聊让她能够发挥自己的创造力和想象力，创作出了有史以来最受欢迎的系列小说之一。)”可知，作者在最后一段提到J.K.罗琳是为了展示接受无聊的力量。故选C。 D While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice. When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future! But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it. AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer? Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected. 32. What plays an important role in producing PROTO? A. Holly’s special voice. B. The input of existing music. C. Holly’s rich knowledge. D. The use of an instrument. 33. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa? A. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians. B. To show the popularity of smart robots. C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists. D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans? A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Confident. 35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The increasing diversity of AI music. B. The development of musical composition. C. The history of computer-generated music. D. The combination of AI and musical composition. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. D 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon使用人工智能创作了新音乐。文章介绍了其操作过程以及关于对AI音乐人的深度思考。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI).(该过程需要输入人工或人工智能（AI）创作的音乐数据)”可知，现有音乐的输入在产生原型中起着重要的作用。故选B。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer?( Miquela Sousa是一个电脑生成的艺术家，在Instagram上有超过一百万的粉丝。“我是一名模特兼歌手。我是一个机器人，”Miquela说。这就提出了一个问题：我们能用电脑重现创造力吗？)”可推知，作者提到Miquela Sousa的例子是为了促进对AI音乐人的深度思考。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected.(虽然这些问题不容易回答，但我相信音乐的下一个前沿是介于两者之间。我可以看到人类创造力与人工智能相结合的新曙光。随着音乐和人工智能的联系越来越紧密，音乐的下一篇章肯定会变得非常精彩)”可推知，作者对AI和人类共同创作的音乐很有信心。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice.(虽然大多数音乐家在创作音乐时都是与其他艺术家合作，但现居住在柏林的美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon采取了不同的方式，使用名为Spawn的机器学习软件。该软件使用了模仿人类大脑结构的人工神经网络。这些网络在训练过程中从数据集中学习模式。根据这些数据，网络创造了新的材料，包括Herndon自己的声音)”结合文章主要说明了美国音乐家和声音艺术家Holly Herndon使用人工智能创作了新音乐。文章介绍了其操作过程以及关于对AI音乐人的深度思考。可知，这篇文章主要讲了人工智能和音乐创作的结合。故选D。 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。 If you are interested in learning more about Chinese culture, there are multiple ways to get started.

I was afraid to speak in public, even in front of my classmates. Every time the teacher asked a question, I would lower my head and hope that I would not be called on. I knew I was not stupid, but I just lacked courage. One day, our English teacher, Ms. Li, announced that we would have a group speech competition in two weeks. Each group had to prepare a 3-minute speech about “My Growth”. When she asked who wanted to be the speaker of our group, no one raised their hand. I felt my heart beating fast—I really wanted to try, but fear stopped me. My deskmate, Lily, noticed my nervousness. She turned to me and whispered, “You can do it. I’ve heard you read English aloud before, and your pronunciation is great.” Her words gave me a little courage, but I still shook my head. “What if I make a mistake?” I asked. Lily smiled and said, “Mistakes are part of growth. Even if you mess up, we will support you.” With her encouragement, I finally raised my hand slowly. Ms. Li looked at me with a smile and said, “I believe you, dear. You will shine.” The next two weeks were busy. I spent every evening practicing the speech. I wrote down my story about being shy and wanting to change, and Lily helped me correct my grammar and pronunciation. Sometimes I wanted to give up because I was still afraid of standing in front of the whole class. But every time I thought of Lily’s words and Ms. Li’s trust, I kept going. On the day of the competition, I stood backstage, my hands sweating and my legs shaking. I could hear my heart beating loudly, and I almost ran away. 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。 Just then, I saw Lily and Ms. Li standing not far away. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After my speech, the whole class broke into warm applause. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】例文 Paragraph 1: Just then, I saw Lily and Ms. Li standing not far away. They smiled at me and gave me a thumbs-up. Ms. Li mouthed “You are the best” to me, and Lily waved her hand gently. Their encouragement made me take a deep breath. I told myself: I have practiced so hard, and I can’t give up now. With trembling legs, I walked onto the stage. When I held the microphone, my voice was a little shaky. I looked down at my notes and started my speech slowly. At first, I forgot a few words, but I quickly calmed down and went on. Paragraph 2: After my speech, the whole class broke into warm applause. I felt my face turn red, but I also felt a strong sense of pride. Ms. Li walked up to me and patted my shoulder, saying, “You did a wonderful job! I’m so proud of you.” Lily ran to me and gave me a hug. “I told you you could do it!” she said. At that moment, I realized that growth is not about being perfect, but about having the courage to try. I overcame my shyness and became more confident. From then on, I dared to speak in public and tried more new things. 【解析】 【导语】本文以作者的成长蜕变经历为线索展开，讲述了十年级的作者性格内向害羞，极度畏惧当众发言。班级筹备主题为“我的成长”的小组演讲比赛，无人主动担当发言人。在同桌Lily的鼓励和李老师的信任下，作者鼓起勇气主动承担演讲任务。随后的两周里，作者刻苦练习、打磨演讲稿，克服内心恐惧。比赛当天，站在后台的作者依旧紧张忐忑，心生退缩之意。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写老师和同桌给予作者眼神、手势鼓励，作者深受鼓舞、稳住心态，克服紧张走上舞台，克服短暂失误，坚持完整完成演讲。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写演讲结束后收获全班掌声，得到老师肯定与同桌的祝贺，作者内心充满自豪，领悟成长的真谛，最终突破自卑、收获自信与蜕变。 2. 续写线索：收获鼓励、稳住心态 —— 勇敢登台、克服紧张 —— 坚持完成演讲 —— 收获掌声与肯定 —— 感悟成长、突破自我 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①克服：overcome / get over/ conquer ②告诉：tell / inform 情绪类 ①自信的：confident / self-assured ②鼓励：encouragement / motivation 【点睛】[高分句型 1] When I held the microphone, my voice was a little shaky.

B Catarina Rosa Morais Chato had heart surgery when she was just 6 months old to repair a hole in her heart. The operation was effective in closing the hole, but four years later, she developed pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a type of high blood pressure in the heart and lungs that can be linked with congenital (先天的) heart disease — and for which there is no cure. Her symptoms included coughing, exhaustion, chest pain and feeling faint, especially when climbing stairs. She was told to stop all forms of exercise, since physical activity would be too draining on her body. “My dream of dancing died that day,” she says, adding that she felt lonely when she couldn’t join her friends on the sports field. Following her diagnosis (诊断), she quickly began treatment to help manage her symptoms, which enabled her to live a fairly normal life. That includes working as a personal care assistant, helping nurses in the same hospital where she was born. At first, she found the long hours on her feet very tiring. But thanks to a flexible schedule, as well as learning to go at her own pace, “I exceed (超出) my expectations,” she says. She’s also found love: “My fiance, Tiago, has always supported me. He comes with me to cardiology visits, reminds me to take my medication and does things like carry the shopping bag for me.” Reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, Chato feels pride. “Despite all the sad times I have been through, I am alive. I work, drive, travel, and do housekeeping, I get to watch my nephews grow up,” she says. “25 years ago there was not as much hope for people with PAH. My advice to anyone is: Be happy, enjoy every minute of your life and don’t give up.” 24. What caused Chato to develop PAH? A. The failed operation. B. Her lack of exercise. C. Her heart condition. D. The lung infection. 25. Why did Chato give up her dream? A. She was unwilling to see others. B. Her interest in dancing was reduced. C. She had to receive treatment. D. Her physical state worsened. 26. How did Chato manage her work? A. By getting extra breaks. B. By changing work pace. C. By asking others for help. D. By showing more patience. 27. Which words can best describe Chato? A. Courageous and tough. B. Energetic and talkative. C. Considerate and gifted. D. Humorous and modest. C Being bored is no fun, especially at work. However, a recent study from the Research School of Management at the Australian National University suggests that boredom may have an unexpected benefit. In a study, 52 participants were given a boring task of separating red from green beans for 30 minutes, while another group of 49 participants was asked to create art projects with paper, beans, and glue. Then both groups were instructed to spend five minutes on a creative task. Surprisingly, the group that had performed the boring task produced a higher quantity and quality of creative ideas than the group that had taken part in the art project. “Boredom is not necessarily terrible based on my research,” says the study’s lead author, Guihyun Park. “People want to get out of a boring state, so they tend to find novelty, which can lead to unique thinking and bring out creativity.” Moreover, it’s also worth noting that studies have found that not everyone experiences the same level of creative benefits from boredom. Researchers have discovered in one experiment that participants who are open to new experiences and driven to achieve specific goals are more likely to see positive effects from being bored. Finally, Park admits that not every type of job allows a state of boredom, and it really can be detrimental to some important work. “I would say at safety jobs where you need to stay alert (警惕的) all the time, like police or safety guards, boredom will keep your mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park. “Also, those jobs require less creativity but much attention to details instead; boredom won’t help much there.” But for designers and anyone in a creative field, boredom is not something to fear, but to embrace. J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series, has shared how she would spend hours sitting on trains, letting her mind wander and coming up with new ideas for her stories. This boredom allowed her to tap into her creativity and imagination, leading to one of the most beloved book series ever. 28. What did the recent study find about boredom? A. It improves work efficiency. B. It raises people’s patience. C. It inspires creative ideas. D. It leads to negative feelings. 29. Which kind of people are more likely to benefit from boredom? A. People who are afraid of change. B. People who are willing to try new things. C. People who tend to focus on details. D. People who enjoy competing with others. 30. What does the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Attractive. B. Necessary. C. Harmful. D. Challenging. 31. Why does the author mention J.K. Rowling in the last paragraph? A. To prove the importance of creativity and imagination. B. To encourage people to stay bored in their daily life. C. To show the power of embracing boredom. D. To explain the creation process of the Harry Potter series. D While most musicians work with other artists when creating their music, Holly Herndon, an American musician and sound artist who is now based in Berlin, takes a different way, working with the machine learning software called Spawn. The software uses artificial neural networks modeled after the structure of the human brain. These networks learn patterns from datasets during the training process. Based on the data, the networks create new material that includes Herndon’s own voice. When producing her album, PROTO, Holly trained datasets to write new music. The process requires the input data of music written by people or by artificial intelligence (AI). The neural networks then produce variations of that music. “Computers surprise you in a way that an instrument doesn’t,” Holly said. So what does music sound like when composed by what is essentially a robot? It sounds like music from the future! But Holly Herndon isn’t the only one exploring AI in composition. Machines have played an increasingly important role in music over the last century. The godfather of computer science, Alan Turing, developed the first computer generated music in 1951. Then in 1980, David Cope from the University of California, Santa Cruz developed EMI — Experiments in Musical Intelligence, a system that analyzes existing music and produces new pieces based on it. AI might not take over the job of the “pop star” anytime soon, or will it? Miquela Sousa is a computer-generated artist with over one million followers on Instagram. “I’m a model and singer. And I’m a robot,” Miquela said. This then raises the question: Can we reproduce creativity using a computer? Though those questions are not easy to answer, I believe the next frontier of music lies somewhere in between. I can see the path forward with a new dawn of creativity that combines human inventiveness with AI. And the next chapter of music will certainly become wonderful as music and AI become even more closely connected. 32. What plays an important role in producing PROTO? A. Holly’s special voice. B. The input of existing music. C. Holly’s rich knowledge. D. The use of an instrument. 33. Why does the author mention the example of Miquela Sousa? A. To promote deep thinking on AI musicians. B. To show the popularity of smart robots. C. To explain the tasks of computer-generated artists. D. To make comparisons between human and robotic artists. 34. What is the author’s attitude towards music co-created by AI and humans? A. Doubtful. B. Surprised. C. Confused. D. Confident. 35. What does the text mainly talk about? A. The increasing diversity of AI music. B. The development of musical composition. C. The history of computer-generated music. D. The combination of AI and musical composition. 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。 If you are interested in learning more about Chinese culture, there are multiple ways to get started.

I was afraid to speak in public, even in front of my classmates. Every time the teacher asked a question, I would lower my head and hope that I would not be called on. I knew I was not stupid, but I just lacked courage. One day, our English teacher, Ms. Li, announced that we would have a group speech competition in two weeks. Each group had to prepare a 3-minute speech about “My Growth”. When she asked who wanted to be the speaker of our group, no one raised their hand. I felt my heart beating fast—I really wanted to try, but fear stopped me. My deskmate, Lily, noticed my nervousness. She turned to me and whispered, “You can do it. I’ve heard you read English aloud before, and your pronunciation is great.” Her words gave me a little courage, but I still shook my head. “What if I make a mistake?” I asked. Lily smiled and said, “Mistakes are part of growth. Even if you mess up, we will support you.” With her encouragement, I finally raised my hand slowly. Ms. Li looked at me with a smile and said, “I believe you, dear. You will shine.” The next two weeks were busy. I spent every evening practicing the speech. I wrote down my story about being shy and wanting to change, and Lily helped me correct my grammar and pronunciation. Sometimes I wanted to give up because I was still afraid of standing in front of the whole class. But every time I thought of Lily’s words and Ms. Li’s trust, I kept going. On the day of the competition, I stood backstage, my hands sweating and my legs shaking. I could hear my heart beating loudly, and I almost ran away. 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。 Just then, I saw Lily and Ms. Li standing not far away. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ After my speech, the whole class broke into warm applause. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $英语听力模拟试题18第1节. 听下面5段录音。每段录音后有一个小题，从题中所给的ABC3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。听下面的录音，回答第一小题。Could you tell me where gate twenty five is?
