A
Are you crazy about these newly-built products that are not merely quite useful but also good for the environment? Come and see them!
Eco-friendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.
Pollution-sensitive Dress
Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.
Eco-friendly Car Racer
Can you imagine a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at $51,000.
Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) Carpet
Do you know it is said that walking on fresh grass can really increase your blood circulation? The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
1. What is special about the Eco-friendly Umbrella?
A. It has a fixed surface. B. It is made of plastic only.
C. It cannot be folded. D. Its surface can be replaced easily.
2. When the air is dirty, the pollution-sensitive EPA Dress will look _______.
A. pretty and clean B. like dirty laundry
C. colorful and bright D. similar to ancient clothes
3. Where should the Moss Carpet be placed?
A. In the bathroom. B. In the bedroom.
C. In the living room. D. In the kitchen.
【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A

Shan Xinghua, a leading engineer widely known as the “Mother of 12306”, has completely transformed China’s railway travel experience with her groundbreaking innovations. As the chief researcher at the China Academy of Railway Sciences, she took the lead in developing the 12306 railway ticketing system — a true technological wonder that has redefined how Chinese people book train tickets. Every year, this system handles an astonishing number of billions of ticket inquiries and trades. Its value becomes even more evident during the Spring Festival travel rush, the world’s largest annual human migration, when hundreds of millions of people travel across the country to reunite with their families.
Beyond the ticketing platform, Shan also pioneered electronic ticket technology, leading the “paperless travel” era for China’s railways. This revolutionary change shortened the average ticket-checking time by two-thirds, greatly improving travel efficiency and bringing unprecedented (前所未有的) convenience to passengers. In 2024, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to building a strong transportation nation, she was honored with the highly respected “Model of the Times” title by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee.
Her extraordinary work not only solved the long-standing problem of difficult ticket purchase (购买) that had troubled Chinese travelers for years but also set a global standard for large-scale public service information systems. Shan’s determined commitment to using technology to serve the people makes her an inspiring role model, especially for young people who dream of becoming engineers and making a positive impact on society.

Every morning when the alarm goes off, many people face a hard choice: to snooze (打盹) or not to snooze? If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science.
The nine-minute snooze period is not unique to the iPhone. In the mid-20th century, when mechanical alarm clocks were the main type on the market, a leading producer introduced a snooze alarm. However, the standard parts of mechanical clocks made it hard to set a double-digit (两位数的) snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit, to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s structure. Apple might have taken the nine-minute snooze to honor this early invention.
From a physiological point of view, a nine-minute period is practical. Our bodies start to fall into the second stage of a sleep cycle about 10 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, a snooze period of nine minutes allows for less sudden awakening as it helps avoid a deeper stage of sleep. This timing can also reduce sleepiness and make it slightly easier to wake up when the alarm rings again.
The debate over whether snoozing is helpful or harmful continues among sleep experts. Some research suggests that snoozing provides enough time for the body and brain to shift gradually from sleep to wakefulness. On the other hand, other studies argue that while hitting the snooze button might give you a brief feeling of extra rest, it breaks your sleep and makes you more tired than if you wake up with the first alarm. Continuous, undisturbed sleep is generally better for mental abilities and overall health. Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button or embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm.
8. Why was the nine-minute snooze used in mechanical alarm clocks?
A. To show respect to an early design.
B. To follow the trend of other clock producers.
C. To match the principles of human sleep science.
D. To avoid the change of the clock’s inner structure.
9. How is the third paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By giving typical examples.
C. By quoting expert opinions.
D. By analyzing causes and effects.
10. What does the underlined word “embrace” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Forget. B. Accept.
C. Change. D. Avoid.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Is the Snooze Alarm Important?
B. Nine-Minute Snooze: Extra Rest?
C. How Does Snoozing Affect Sleep Quality?
D. The Snooze Button: Smart Design?
【答案】8. D 9. D 10. B 11. B
【解析】
【导语】文章解释了iPhone贪睡按钮设为九分钟的历史原因和生理学依据,并探讨了贪睡功能对睡眠质量的争议,建议根据个人睡眠模式决定是否使用该功能。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“However, the standard parts of mechanical clocks made it hard to set a double-digit (两位数的) snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit, to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s structure. (然而,机械钟的标准时钟部件使得设置两位数的睡眠时间变得困难。工程师们最终选定九分钟作为最长的个位数分钟数,这样就无需对钟的结构进行重新设计了。)”可知,使用九分钟贪睡是为了避免改变时钟的内部结构。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“From a physiological point of view, a nine-minute period is practical. Our bodies start to fall into the second stage of a sleep cycle about 10 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, a snooze period of nine minutes allows for less sudden awakening as it helps avoid a deeper stage of sleep. This timing can also reduce sleepiness and make it slightly easier to wake up when the alarm rings again. (从生理学角度来看,九分钟的间隔是合理的。我们入睡约10分钟后,身体就会进入睡眠周期的第二阶段。因此,九分钟的贪睡时间能减少突然醒来的情况,因为它有助于避免进入更深层次的睡眠状态。这种时间安排还能减轻困倦感,并使再次响起的闹钟更容易让人醒来。)”可知,该段从生理学原理出发,解释了九分钟如何避免进入深睡眠、减少突然惊醒,并带来更容易醒来的效果,属于分析原因和结果。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据画线词的上文“Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button (最后,了解自己的睡眠模式可以帮助你决定是否继续按贪睡按钮)”和“or”表示的选择关系可知,embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm与keep hitting the snooze button“继续按贪睡按钮”形成对比,指接受第一遍闹钟就立即醒来的现实,因此embrace应理解为“接受”,与accept同义。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中“If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science. (如果你是iPhone用户,或许你曾好奇过为何“贪睡”按钮设定的间隔时间恰好是9分钟。这个数字并非随意选定,而是与历史设计以及人体睡眠科学密切相关。)”可知,文章核心是探讨九分钟贪睡功能的由来、科学依据及其效果争议,选项B“九分钟贪睡:额外休息?”以问句形式概括了这一主题,点出核心疑问,最适合作为文章标题。
D
In 1915, Albert Einstein stood before the Prussian Academy of Sciences and presented the equations (方程) of general theory of relativity. Today, Einstein and relativity are seen as symbols of genius. However, when he first showed his ideas, other scientists did not care much about them. Part of the reason was that the theory was too radical (全新的) for them to fully understand.
A century later, technology companies use genius to describe artificial intelligence. Some predict “superintelligent” systems that will outperform experts in most fields and work like “a country of geniuses in a datacenter”. Yet such claims often come with little evidence. Intelligence is difficult to define, and genius is even harder to recognize before its effects become clear.
However, there is one field where this prediction seems to be coming true: math. Recent AI systems have made rapid progress on difficult problems. One AI-assisted study even showed that a mathematical conjecture (猜想) made 80 years earlier was false. Such achievements have filled mathematicians with both wonder and concern. If machines can move so quickly in a field built on proof, it is easy to imagine them racing ahead alone.
In fact, AI’s mathematical successes show how vital human experts remain. A result becomes believable only when mathematicians examine it and decide that it holds. Researchers are also using ideas produced by AI to make progress on other problems. Machines may generate possibilities, but people still test them, connect them with existing knowledge and decide which ones are worth pursuing.
The real value of AI may not lie in replacing human genius, but in working alongside it. This may sound less dramatic than the future promised by technology companies, yet it is close to how genius has always worked. Einstein’s equations had their full impact only after other scientists applied them to the universe, helping predict black holes and an expanding universe. Great ideas may appear in a moment; turning them into knowledge is a shared scientific process.
12. Why does the author mention Einstein in paragraph 1?
A. To support a claim. B. To present a theory.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To illustrate a concept.
13. What does the author think of the companies’ claims about AI?
A. They sound persuasive. B. They lack solid evidence.
C. They cause experts’ panic. D. They rest on clear measures.
14. What can be inferred about AI’s role in math?
A. It has made human experts less essential in research.
B. It has proven the arrival of superintelligence in math.
C. It serves mainly to test existing mathematical theories.
D. It acts as a partner to experts rather than a replacement.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI in mathematics?
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. D 15. B
【解析】
【导语】文章主要介绍人工智能在数学领域取得突破,但人工智能无法取代人类,人类专家依旧发挥不可替代的重要作用。
【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In 1915, Albert Einstein stood before the Prussian Academy of Sciences and presented the equations (方程) of general theory of relativity. Today, Einstein and relativity are seen as symbols of genius. However, when he first showed his ideas, other scientists did not care much about them.(1915年,阿尔伯特·爱因斯坦站在普鲁士科学院面前,提出了广义相对论方程。如今,爱因斯坦和相对论被视作天才的象征。然而,当他首次提出自己的观点时,其他科学家并不太在意)”可知,作者以爱因斯坦的经历开篇,引出下文关于“天才”与人工智能的话题。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Yet such claims often come with little evidence.(然而,这类说法往往几乎没有证据支撑)”可知,作者认为科技公司关于人工智能的说法缺少确凿有力的证据。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“In fact, AI’s mathematical successes show how essential human experts remain. A result becomes credible only when mathematicians examine it and decide that it holds.(事实上,人工智能在数学方面的成功表明人类专家依旧至关重要。只有经过数学家检验并认定成立,一个结果才具备可信度)”以及第五段中的“The real value of AI may not lie in replacing human genius, but in working alongside it.(人工智能真正的价值或许不在于取代人类天才,而是与人类天才协同合作)”可知,在数学领域人工智能是专家的合作伙伴,而非替代品。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, there is one field where this prediction seems to be coming true: math. Recent AI systems have made rapid progress on difficult problems. One AI-assisted study even showed that a mathematical conjecture (猜想) made 80 years earlier was false. (然而,有一个领域似乎正在实现这一预测:数学。最近的人工智能系统在解决难题方面取得了快速进展。一项借助人工智能的研究甚至证明了一个80年前提出的数学猜想是错误的)”以及最后一段“The real value of AI may not lie in replacing human genius, but in working alongside it. This may sound less dramatic than the future promised by technology companies, yet it is close to how genius has always worked. Einstein’s equations had their full impact only after other scientists applied them to the universe, helping predict black holes and an expanding universe. Great ideas may appear in a moment; turning them into knowledge is a shared scientific process.(人工智能真正的价值或许不在于取代人类的天才,而在于与之并肩合作。这听起来可能不如科技公司所承诺的未来那么宏大,但这也正是天才一直以来运作的方式。爱因斯坦的方程式只有在其他科学家将其应用于宇宙后,才真正产生了深远影响,帮助预测了黑洞和宇宙膨胀。伟大的想法可能突然出现,而将它们转化为知识,则是一个共同的科学过程)”以及作者既介绍AI在数学上取得的巨大进步,也点明人类专家不可替代,客观陈述利弊,态度客观。

【答案】Dear David,
I’m glad to tell you about the debate held in our class last week on whether Internet slang should be prohibited.
Some students support the ban. They argue that Internet slang is informal and may ruin our standard written Chinese. However, opponents hold that it enriches our language and helps us express ideas vividly.

Yours,
Li Hua

Li Yue was a hardworking but quite shy student. She loved English and had always been at the top of her class in written exams, but speaking in front of others was her greatest fear. This year, to her own surprise, she had made it to the final of the school’s English speech competition. The topic was “The Power of Friendship,” which made her think immediately of Wang Lei.
Li Yue had spent weeks preparing, writing, and rewriting her speech with the help of her best friend, Wang Lei. Wang Lei had always been her biggest supporter. He had practiced with her for many hours, patiently listening and giving suggestions. Whenever Li Yue felt nervous or looked unsure, he would smile and say, “Believe in yourself — you’re fully prepared.” Those words encouraged her a lot.
Standing backstage, Li Yue’s heart was beating quickly and loudly. She could feel her hands getting sweaty. She looked through the curtain secretly and saw a large audience. Then she saw her main competitor, Sun Qian, walking off the stage with a confident smile, and receiving loud applause (掌声). The sound felt like a wave of pressure crashing over her.
Suddenly, Li Yue’s confidence disappeared. Her hands started to shake uncontrollably, her mind going blank. “What if I forget everything? What if they laugh at me? What if I disappoint Wang Lei after all his help?” she thought, fear rising inside her. She took a deep breath, but it did little to calm her. Just then, the host’s voice rang through the speakers, “And now, let’s welcome our next contestant (参赛选手), Li Yue!”
注意:(1)续写词数应为150个左右;

【答案】
Li Yue slowly walked onto the stage. The bright lights shone on her face, and she could feel thousands of eyes fixed on her. Her voice trembled as she began, and her mind went blank for a moment. Then she saw Wang Lei in the front row, smiling and nodding at her. His encouraging eyes reminded her of his words, “Believe in yourself.” A warm feeling of courage rose in her heart, her confidence growing.
Taking a deep breath, Li Yue calmed down quickly. Her fear disappeared, replaced by a strong sense of confidence. She spoke clearly and passionately about the power of friendship, sharing the story of how Wang Lei had always supported her. The audience listened quietly, nodding with appreciation. When she finished, thunderous applause burst out. Many students even stood up to cheer for her. Her eyes shining with joy, Li Yue bowed deeply and walked off the stage, feeling proud of herself. She realized that friendship had given her the courage to overcome her fear.

Are you crazy about these newly-built products that are not merely quite useful but also good for the environment? Come and see them!
Eco-friendly Umbrella
Traditional umbrellas come with a fixed surface. Although it is changeable, you cannot replace it easily. This eco-friendly design is more flexible. It is actually only an umbrella skeleton without any surface, which can be folded, so you can put anything such as newspapers, plastic bags or whatever you want to serve as the protecting surface.
Pollution-sensitive Dress
Don’t be caught outside unaware of pollution levels in the air. The pollution-sensitive EPA Dress by Stephanie Sandstrom notices pollution in the air accordingly. This dress — which is actually quite pretty — looks like you pull it from the bottom of the dirty laundry pile when the air is dirty. It might protect your health by advising you to stay indoors for the day, but it won’t do you any favor if you’re meeting with clients.
Eco-friendly Car Racer
Can you imagine a car racer is so eco-friendly that its tyres are made from potatoes, its body is created from hemp (大麻) and rapeseed oil and it runs on fuel made from wheat and sugar beet? The one-seater racing car called Eco One is built by experts from Warwick University, who hope that Eco One will be adopted by the automotive industry. It is sold at $51,000.
Eco-friendly Moss (苔藓) Carpet
Do you know it is said that walking on fresh grass can really increase your blood circulation? The Moss Carpet, created by Nguyen La Chanh, looks at getting the grass to your feet. The mat includes ball moss, island moss and forest moss. The humidity (湿度) of the bathroom ensures that it grows well. And that’s why you need to place it there and not anywhere else.
1. What is special about the Eco-friendly Umbrella?
A. It has a fixed surface. B. It is made of plastic only.
C. It cannot be folded. D. Its surface can be replaced easily.
2. When the air is dirty, the pollution-sensitive EPA Dress will look _______.
A. pretty and clean B. like dirty laundry
C. colorful and bright D. similar to ancient clothes
3. Where should the Moss Carpet be placed?

Shan Xinghua, a leading engineer widely known as the “Mother of 12306”, has completely transformed China’s railway travel experience with her groundbreaking innovations. As the chief researcher at the China Academy of Railway Sciences, she took the lead in developing the 12306 railway ticketing system — a true technological wonder that has redefined how Chinese people book train tickets. Every year, this system handles an astonishing number of billions of ticket inquiries and trades. Its value becomes even more evident during the Spring Festival travel rush, the world’s largest annual human migration, when hundreds of millions of people travel across the country to reunite with their families.
Beyond the ticketing platform, Shan also pioneered electronic ticket technology, leading the “paperless travel” era for China’s railways. This revolutionary change shortened the average ticket-checking time by two-thirds, greatly improving travel efficiency and bringing unprecedented (前所未有的) convenience to passengers. In 2024, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to building a strong transportation nation, she was honored with the highly respected “Model of the Times” title by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee.
Her extraordinary work not only solved the long-standing problem of difficult ticket purchase (购买) that had troubled Chinese travelers for years but also set a global standard for large-scale public service information systems. Shan’s determined commitment to using technology to serve the people makes her an inspiring role model, especially for young people who dream of becoming engineers and making a positive impact on society.
4. What do we know about Shan Xinghua in the first two paragraphs?
A. She donated money to build 12306.
B. She first proposed the idea of 12306.
C. She offered passengers cheaper tickets from 12306.
D. She led the development and improvement of 12306.
5. What benefit does the electronic ticket technology bring?
A. It helps analyze customers’ travelling habits.
B. It cuts the average ticket-checking time by half.
C. It improves travel efficiency and brings convenience.
D. It makes the Spring Festival travel much more interesting.
6. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. The trouble Chinese travelers faced in purchasing tickets.
B. The global standard for large-scale public service systems.
C. The personal life and family background of Shan Xinghua.
D. The significance of Shan’s work and her role as an inspiration.
7. Which words can best describe Shan Xinghua?
A. Brave and generous. B. Creative and determined.
C. Ambitious and honest. D. Optimistic and cautious.
C
Every morning when the alarm goes off, many people face a hard choice: to snooze (打盹) or not to snooze? If you happen to be an iPhone user, you may have wondered why the snooze button gives you exactly nine minutes. This number is not a casual choice as it is tied to historical design and human sleep science.
The nine-minute snooze period is not unique to the iPhone. In the mid-20th century, when mechanical alarm clocks were the main type on the market, a leading producer introduced a snooze alarm. However, the standard parts of mechanical clocks made it hard to set a double-digit (两位数的) snooze period. Engineers eventually settled on nine minutes, the largest possible single-digit, to avoid the need to redesign the clock’s structure. Apple might have taken the nine-minute snooze to honor this early invention.
From a physiological point of view, a nine-minute period is practical. Our bodies start to fall into the second stage of a sleep cycle about 10 minutes after falling asleep. Therefore, a snooze period of nine minutes allows for less sudden awakening as it helps avoid a deeper stage of sleep. This timing can also reduce sleepiness and make it slightly easier to wake up when the alarm rings again.
The debate over whether snoozing is helpful or harmful continues among sleep experts. Some research suggests that snoozing provides enough time for the body and brain to shift gradually from sleep to wakefulness. On the other hand, other studies argue that while hitting the snooze button might give you a brief feeling of extra rest, it breaks your sleep and makes you more tired than if you wake up with the first alarm. Continuous, undisturbed sleep is generally better for mental abilities and overall health. Finally, understanding your own sleep patterns can help you make the decision between whether to keep hitting the snooze button or embrace the cruel reality of the first alarm.
8. Why was the nine-minute snooze used in mechanical alarm clocks?
A. To show respect to an early design.
B. To follow the trend of other clock producers.
C. To match the principles of human sleep science.
D. To avoid the change of the clock’s inner structure.
9. How is the third paragraph mainly developed?
A. By making comparisons.
B. By giving typical examples.
C. By quoting expert opinions.
D. By analyzing causes and effects.
10. What does the underlined word “embrace” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Forget. B. Accept.
C. Change. D. Avoid.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Why Is the Snooze Alarm Important?
B. Nine-Minute Snooze: Extra Rest?
C. How Does Snoozing Affect Sleep Quality?
D. The Snooze Button: Smart Design?
D
In 1915, Albert Einstein stood before the Prussian Academy of Sciences and presented the equations (方程) of general theory of relativity. Today, Einstein and relativity are seen as symbols of genius. However, when he first showed his ideas, other scientists did not care much about them. Part of the reason was that the theory was too radical (全新的) for them to fully understand.
A century later, technology companies use genius to describe artificial intelligence. Some predict “superintelligent” systems that will outperform experts in most fields and work like “a country of geniuses in a datacenter”. Yet such claims often come with little evidence. Intelligence is difficult to define, and genius is even harder to recognize before its effects become clear.
However, there is one field where this prediction seems to be coming true: math. Recent AI systems have made rapid progress on difficult problems. One AI-assisted study even showed that a mathematical conjecture (猜想) made 80 years earlier was false. Such achievements have filled mathematicians with both wonder and concern. If machines can move so quickly in a field built on proof, it is easy to imagine them racing ahead alone.
In fact, AI’s mathematical successes show how vital human experts remain. A result becomes believable only when mathematicians examine it and decide that it holds. Researchers are also using ideas produced by AI to make progress on other problems. Machines may generate possibilities, but people still test them, connect them with existing knowledge and decide which ones are worth pursuing.
The real value of AI may not lie in replacing human genius, but in working alongside it. This may sound less dramatic than the future promised by technology companies, yet it is close to how genius has always worked. Einstein’s equations had their full impact only after other scientists applied them to the universe, helping predict black holes and an expanding universe. Great ideas may appear in a moment; turning them into knowledge is a shared scientific process.
12. Why does the author mention Einstein in paragraph 1?
A. To support a claim. B. To present a theory.
C. To introduce a topic. D. To illustrate a concept.
13. What does the author think of the companies’ claims about AI?
A. They sound persuasive. B. They lack solid evidence.
C. They cause experts’ panic. D. They rest on clear measures.
14. What can be inferred about AI’s role in math?
A. It has made human experts less essential in research.
B. It has proven the arrival of superintelligence in math.
C. It serves mainly to test existing mathematical theories.
D. It acts as a partner to experts rather than a replacement.
15. What is the author’s attitude toward AI in mathematics?
A. Uninterested. B. Objective. C. Negative. D. Uncaring.

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。
Li Yue was a hardworking but quite shy student. She loved English and had always been at the top of her class in written exams, but speaking in front of others was her greatest fear. This year, to her own surprise, she had made it to the final of the school’s English speech competition. The topic was “The Power of Friendship,” which made her think immediately of Wang Lei.
Li Yue had spent weeks preparing, writing, and rewriting her speech with the help of her best friend, Wang Lei. Wang Lei had always been her biggest supporter. He had practiced with her for many hours, patiently listening and giving suggestions. Whenever Li Yue felt nervous or looked unsure, he would smile and say, “Believe in yourself — you’re fully prepared.” Those words encouraged her a lot.
Standing backstage, Li Yue’s heart was beating quickly and loudly. She could feel her hands getting sweaty. She looked through the curtain secretly and saw a large audience. Then she saw her main competitor, Sun Qian, walking off the stage with a confident smile, and receiving loud applause (掌声). The sound felt like a wave of pressure crashing over her.
Suddenly, Li Yue’s confidence disappeared. Her hands started to shake uncontrollably, her mind going blank. “What if I forget everything? What if they laugh at me? What if I disappoint Wang Lei after all his help?” she thought, fear rising inside her. She took a deep breath, but it did little to calm her. Just then, the host’s voice rang through the speakers, “And now, let’s welcome our next contestant (参赛选手), Li Yue!”
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。
Paragraph 1: Li Yue slowly walked onto the stage.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: Taking a deep breath, Li Yue calmed down quickly.
