Its natural growth and lively vitality made me sense the perfect balance and unique value of all living things around me. This brief but striking experience made me curious about why nature can bring people special inner peace and spiritual connection. To figure out the reason, I looked into relevant documents and professional scholars’ opinions. A large number of classic works and research findings suggest that nature serves as a precious carrier for people to obtain spiritual comfort and inner strength. Dr. Paul Marshall, who has long focused on natural spiritual experiences, stated that such moments in nature can help individuals understand themselves better and develop positive inner feelings. “Such precious experiences are not limited to a small number of people,” he said. “They are far more common than we imagine.” His research further confirmed that people of all ages and different life attitudes can gain comfort from nature. I considered the touching story of Colleen, a girl like me, as a convincing example. When her father fell ill and became difficult to communicate with, she was trapped in great sadness and helplessness. During a hiking trip with her father on a quiet hilltop, the peaceful valley, soaring hawks and warm sunshine gradually calmed her anxious heart. She asked her father softly, “Daddy, how is your heart?” Her father smiled and replied gently, “My heart is fine. My home is my heart. I am at home.” It was the power of nature that helped them repair their emotional bonds and freed her from long-term distress. Furthermore, I have read numerous scientific studies which have proven that communing with nature benefits people both physically and mentally. It can effectively relieve anxiety, improve physical conditions and refresh exhausted minds. The diverse and breathtaking beauty of natural scenery inspires people’s awe, which greatly helps them adjust their life attitudes and maintain stable inner balance. 4. What did the author become curious about after the blackberry experience? A. How wild fruit grows in nature. B. Why nature gives people inner peace. C. Whether all living things are balanced. D. How people can connect with each other. 5. What does Dr. Paul Marshall’s research indicate? A. Older people need nature more than others. B. Only certain people can benefit from nature. C. Scholars hold different views on nature. D. Nature’s spiritual comfort is available to many. 6. Why is Colleen’s experience included in the text? A. To explain why her father became ill. B. To prove hiking is a popular family activity. C. To show nature can help heal emotional pain. D. To describe the beauty of a hilltop. 7. What does the underlined phrase “communing with” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Keeping pace with. B. Taking account of. C. Making up for. D. Connecting with. 【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】文章主要说明了作者采摘黑莓时感悟自然的力量。查阅资料与研究可知，自然能给予人精神慰藉。Colleen父女的故事印证自然修复情感，科学也证明亲近自然有益于身心，抚慰焦虑、稳定心态。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This brief but striking experience made me curious about why nature can bring people special inner peace and spiritual connection.(这个短暂而惊人的经历让我好奇为什么大自然能给人们带来特殊的内心平静和精神联系)”可知，作者好奇的是大自然为何能赋予人们内心的宁静。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段““Such precious experiences are not limited to a small number of people,” he said. “They are far more common than we imagine.”(“如此珍贵的经历并不局限于少数人，”他说，“它们远比我们想象的更为普遍。”)”以及“His research further confirmed that people of all ages and different life attitudes can gain comfort from nature.(他的研究进一步证实，所有年龄段和不同生活态度的人都能从大自然中获得安慰)”可知，他的研究表明大自然的精神慰藉对许多人都是敞开的。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段“I considered the touching story of Colleen, a girl like me, as a convincing example. When her father fell ill and became difficult to communicate with, she was trapped in great sadness and helplessness. During a hiking trip with her father on a quiet hilltop, the peaceful valley, soaring hawks and warm sunshine gradually calmed her anxious heart. She asked her father softly, “Daddy, how is your heart?” Her father smiled and replied gently, “My heart is fine. My home is my heart. I am at home.” It was the power of nature that helped them repair their emotional bonds and freed her from long-term distress.(我把和我年纪相仿的科琳的感人故事作为有力例证。她的父亲患病后难以沟通，她陷入巨大的悲伤与无助之中。一次，她和父亲在宁静的山顶徒步，静谧的山谷、翱翔的雄鹰与和煦的阳光慢慢抚平了她焦躁的心。她轻声问父亲：“爸爸，你的心还好吗？”父亲温柔笑着答道：“我的心很好。心安之处便是家，我已然归家。”正是大自然的力量帮他们修复了情感纽带，使她摆脱长久的痛苦)”可知，作者引用这个具有说服力的例子，是为了证明大自然能够帮助治愈情感上的创伤。 【7题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第一段“This brief but striking experience made me curious about why nature can bring people special inner peace and spiritual connection.(这段简短却令人印象深刻的体验，让我开始好奇：为什么大自然能给人带来特殊的内心平静和精神联结)”以及文章探讨的是人与自然的互动与连结。可知，与大自然交流对人们的身心都有益处。故划线词communing with意思是“与……联系/交流”。 C As our planet steadily gets warmer, our bodies will need to deal with the stresses of higher temperatures. A new study shows that continued exposure to heat waves can age the body as much as regular drinking or smoking. Led by a team from the University of Hong Kong in China, the investigation looked at data from 24,922 people who had gone through medical examinations between 2008 and 2022. The researchers compared their records with the number of heat waves each person had probably experienced based on their registered addresses. The results showed that those who had been exposed to more heat waves had higher scores for biological markers associated with biological aging — a measure of the functionality of tissues, organs, and cells. The participants were sorted into four groups depending on heat wave exposure, and each step up from group to group was associated with an extra 0.023 to 0.031 years in biological age. The researchers say it puts heat waves in the same category as smoking, drinking, diet, and exercise in terms of how much they can affect biological aging. While this isn’t an entirely new connection, and doesn’t show direct cause and effect, it outperforms many earlier studies in that it measures heat waves over a long period of time in a large group of people. The findings add to what we know about both heat waves and aging. Since the elderly, those in rural areas, and physical workers are often more exposed to heat than others, this study highlights the need for further policy development to address environmental inequalities and enhance population adaptation to the health impacts of heat waves. The findings are also important in the context of aging populations. By 2050, some 16 percent of people worldwide are expected to be aged 65 or over, and as we all live longer lives, targeted policies and interventions are urgently needed to make sure those extra years are lived as healthily as possible. 8. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By interviewing people from different areas. B. By tracking heat waves as they happened. C. By giving participants new health examinations. D. By studying collected health and location data. 9. What did the study find about people exposed to more heat waves? A. Their organs functioned better than average. B. They were more likely to smoke and drink. C. They did less exercise than other people. D. Their bodies showed signs of aging more quickly. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of earlier research. B. The causes of biological aging. C. The advantages of the study. D. The measures to reduce heat waves. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Longer lives do not always mean healthier lives. B. Healthy aging requires further policy support. C. The elderly are less exposed to heat waves. D. Rural workers adapt to heat better than others. 【答案】8. D 9. D 10. C 11. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍一项新研究，说明持续遭遇热浪会加速人体生物衰老及其研究价值与政策启示。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的 “Led by a team from the University of Hong Kong in China, the investigation looked at data from 24,922 people who had gone through medical examinations between 2008 and 2022. The researchers compared their records with the number of heat waves each person had probably experienced based on their registered addresses.(由中国香港大学团队主导，该研究分析了24922位在2008至2022年间做过体检的人群数据。研究人员结合他们的登记地址，对比个人体检记录和每个人可能经历过的热浪次数。)” 可知，研究者是通过分析收集到的健康与地理位置数据开展研究。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的 “The results showed that those who had been exposed to more heat waves had higher scores for biological markers associated with biological aging — a measure of the functionality of tissues, organs, and cells.(结果表明，经历更多热浪的人群，与生物衰老相关的生物标志物数值更高，该指标用来衡量组织、器官与细胞的功能状态。)” 可知，更多热浪暴露的人群身体衰老迹象显现得更快。 【10题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第四段中的 “While this isn’t an entirely new connection, and doesn’t show direct cause and effect, it outperforms many earlier studies in that it measures heat waves over a long period of time in a large group of people. The findings add to what we know about both heat waves and aging.(尽管这种关联并非全新发现，也无法证明直接因果关系，但该研究优于许多早期研究，它在大样本人群中长时间追踪热浪影响。这些发现丰富了我们对热浪和衰老的认知。)” 可知，本段主要讲这项新研究相比以往研究具备的优势。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“Since the elderly, those in rural areas, and physical workers are often more exposed to heat than others, this study highlights the need for further policy development to address environmental inequalities and enhance population adaptation to the health impacts of heat waves. The findings are also important in the context of aging populations. By 2050, some 16 percent of people worldwide are expected to be aged 65 or over, and as we all live longer lives, targeted policies and interventions are urgently needed to make sure those extra years are lived as healthily as possible.(老年人、农村居民以及体力劳动者往往更容易遭受高温。该研究强调需要进一步制定政策，解决环境不公问题，提升人群对热浪健康影响的适应能力。到2050年全球约16%人口将达到65岁及以上，人们寿命延长，急需有针对性的政策与干预手段，保障晚年生活尽可能健康。)” 可知，健康老龄化需要更多政策层面的支持。 D From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, real-time translation powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is now embedded in everyday life. All this raises a vital question. If machines can do this faster and more accurately than humans, is investing years in learning another language still worth it? Our recent study examined cognitive performance in 94 adults aged 18 to 83, using both visuospatial (视觉空间的) and auditory tasks across working memory, attention and inhibition. Put simply, we looked at how people process and respond to information they see or mentally map out in space (visuospatial) and information they hear (auditory). Examples include remembering sounds, focusing on visual patterns, or ignoring distractions. Our study measured multilingualism as a spectrum, not a category. This allowed us to capture diverse language backgrounds and experiences. Multilingual participants spoke a range of languages with varying levels of proficiency and daily use, reflecting the linguistic diversity common within multicultural communities. Across most tasks, multilinguals and monolinguals performed similarly. However, one pattern was striking. Individuals with richer, more diverse multilingual experience showed markedly better performance in visuospatial working memory. These effects were most pronounced in older people. This suggests that multilingual experience doesn’t broadly enhance cognition, like some headlines claim. Instead, it may help preserve specific functions over time. Separate population-level research has also linked multilingualism to later onset of Alzheimer’s disease and better overall ageing outcomes, though the mechanisms continue to be debated. Overall, however, it appears that sustained use of multiple languages represents a form of mental activity with effects that accumulate across a lifetime. AI translation excels at speed and accessibility. For many practical purposes, it works remarkably well. AI will continue to change how we engage with language learning. It can personalize instruction, minimize barriers and provide feedback at scale. But it can’t replace the cognitive work that comes from learning a language. This work builds and preserves the mental sharpness that sustains us across a lifetime. And this difference still matters. 12. What is the main purpose of mentioning AI translation at the beginning? A. To show that AI has already surpassed human translators. B. To question whether learning a language is still worthwhile. C. To explain why real-time translation is now so common. D. To argue that language learning will soon become outdated. 13. What can be learned about the recent study? A. It grouped participants strictly by their language backgrounds. B. It found multilinguals outperformed monolinguals in most tasks. C. It treated multilingual experience as a matter of degree. D. It proved that age is the key factor in cognitive benefits. 14. What does the author suggest about multilingualism in the last three paragraphs? A. It mainly improves young people’s visuospatial memory. B. It can effectively prevent Alzheimer’s disease. C. It is more beneficial than other forms of mental activity. D. It may help maintain certain mental abilities as people age. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. AI Translation: A Threat to Language Learning? B. Learning Another Language: Still Worth the Effort? C. Multilingualism and Ageing: What the Evidence Shows? D. AI Translation vs Language Learning: Who Will Win? 【答案】12. B 13. C 14. D 15. B 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍AI实时翻译普及背景下，研究探讨学习外语的价值以及多语言经历对认知能力的影响。 【12题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, real-time translation powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is now embedded in everyday life. All this raises a vital question. If machines can do this faster and more accurately than humans, is investing years in learning another language still worth it?(从视频通话的实时语音翻译到TikTok自动配音，人工智能驱动的实时翻译现已融入日常生活。这就引出了一个关键问题。如果机器做这项工作比人类更快、更准确，花费数年学习另一门语言是否仍然值得？)” 可知，开篇提及AI翻译，目的是提出疑问：学习外语是否还有价值。 【13题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中的“Our study measured multilingualism as a spectrum, not a category. This allowed us to capture diverse language backgrounds and experiences.(我们的研究将多语言能力视为一个谱系，而不是一个类别。这使我们能够充分体现多样的语言背景和经历。)” 可知，该研究把多语言经历看作程度高低的问题。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中的 “This suggests that multilingual experience doesn’t broadly enhance cognition, like some headlines claim. Instead, it may help preserve specific functions over time. Separate population-level research has also linked multilingualism to later onset of Alzheimer’s disease and better overall ageing outcomes, though the mechanisms continue to be debated.(这表明，多语言经历并不像一些新闻标题所说的那样全面提升认知能力。相反，随着时间推移，它可能有助于维持特定的大脑功能。另有人群层面的研究也发现，掌握多种语言与阿尔茨海默病发病推迟、整体衰老结局更佳存在关联，不过相关作用机制仍存在争议。)” 可知，掌握多种语言有助于人们衰老过程中维持部分心智能力。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，文章由AI翻译普及引出核心问题：花费多年学习外语是否值得；随后介绍相关研究，证明语言学习带来独特的认知益处，AI无法替代。所以最佳标题为“Learning Another Language: Still Worth the Effort?”(学习另一门语言：仍值得付出努力吗？)。 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。 Finding a career as a teenager can be a frightening task, but it’s an important step in preparing you for the future. ____16____ It’s a long-term professional path that allows you to use your skills and hobbies to earn a living and make a huge contribution to your country.

Not because she couldn’t, but because every time she tried, her voice shrank to a whisper. Her classmates called her “the shadow.” Only her little brother, Sam, knew another Maya — the one who made up bedtime stories about a brave rabbit and a paper moon. Maya wrote those stories in a worn blue notebook, never showing anyone. In September, a new teacher, Mr. Reed, arrived. He started a class magazine and asked everyone to submit a short story. Maya’s best friend, Ava, urged her to try. “Just write. I’ll hand it in for you if you want,” Ava said. Maya spent three nights polishing a story about a silent girl who could only speak through paper birds. She gave it to Ava, who passed it to Mr. Reed without Maya’s name. Two weeks later, Mr. Reed announced that the class magazine would be printed, and the best story would be read at the school’s Autumn Festival. The chosen story was “The Paper Birds.” The class clapped. Maya froze. Then Mr. Reed added, “The writer will read it aloud on stage.” Ava looked at Maya, whose face had turned pale. Sam, who had come to visit her classroom that afternoon, tugged her sleeve and whispered, “You can do it. The rabbit told me.” 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。 That evening, Ava and Sam sat with Maya, the blue notebook open. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the night of the Autumn Festival, Maya stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 That evening, Ava and Sam sat with Maya, the blue notebook open. Sam kept reminding her of the brave rabbit in her story, telling her that the rabbit believed she could make it. Ava practised with her sentence by sentence patiently. At first, Maya’s voice trembled and she could hardly speak loudly. However, with their warm support, she calmed down gradually. She read the story again and again, trying to make her voice clear and steady. Still, the thought of standing before so many audiences filled her heart with anxiety. On the night of the Autumn Festival, Maya stepped onto the stage. Bright lights shone down on her, and her heart beat wildly. With the memory of her paper birds filling her mind, she took a deep breath and began to read. Her voice was soft at first, but it grew stronger as she went on. When she finished the last sentence, loud applause burst out. A bright smile appeared on her face. She finally defeated her fear and found her own voice. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述Maya两年来不敢在课堂上说完整的句子，声音总是微弱如低语，被同学叫做“影子”。她只在破旧蓝色笔记本里创作关于勇敢兔子和纸月亮的故事。新老师Mr. Reed创办班级杂志，Maya匿名投稿《纸鸟》，文章被选中，要求作者在秋季节日登台朗读。好友Ava和弟弟Sam鼓励惶恐不安的Maya。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Ava与Sam陪着Maya，陪着她逐句练习朗读。Maya一开始声音颤抖，在两人不断鼓励下慢慢找到状态，但内心依旧忐忑。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Maya站上舞台，面对台下观众内心紧张，想起自己故事里的纸鸟鼓起勇气朗读。读完之后全场响起热烈掌声，Maya战胜恐惧，敢于大声表达自己。 2. 续写线索：陪伴Maya练习朗读 → Maya声音颤抖，获得鼓励 → 慢慢建立信心 → 登台内心紧张 → 鼓起勇气朗读故事 → 收获掌声，突破自我 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①告诉：tell/inform ②完成：finish/complete 情绪类 ①焦虑：anxiety/unease ②恐惧：fear/terror 【点睛】[高分句型 1] When she finished the last sentence, loud applause burst out.

Its natural growth and lively vitality made me sense the perfect balance and unique value of all living things around me. This brief but striking experience made me curious about why nature can bring people special inner peace and spiritual connection. To figure out the reason, I looked into relevant documents and professional scholars’ opinions. A large number of classic works and research findings suggest that nature serves as a precious carrier for people to obtain spiritual comfort and inner strength. Dr. Paul Marshall, who has long focused on natural spiritual experiences, stated that such moments in nature can help individuals understand themselves better and develop positive inner feelings. “Such precious experiences are not limited to a small number of people,” he said. “They are far more common than we imagine.” His research further confirmed that people of all ages and different life attitudes can gain comfort from nature. I considered the touching story of Colleen, a girl like me, as a convincing example. When her father fell ill and became difficult to communicate with, she was trapped in great sadness and helplessness. During a hiking trip with her father on a quiet hilltop, the peaceful valley, soaring hawks and warm sunshine gradually calmed her anxious heart. She asked her father softly, “Daddy, how is your heart?” Her father smiled and replied gently, “My heart is fine. My home is my heart. I am at home.” It was the power of nature that helped them repair their emotional bonds and freed her from long-term distress. Furthermore, I have read numerous scientific studies which have proven that communing with nature benefits people both physically and mentally. It can effectively relieve anxiety, improve physical conditions and refresh exhausted minds. The diverse and breathtaking beauty of natural scenery inspires people’s awe, which greatly helps them adjust their life attitudes and maintain stable inner balance. 4. What did the author become curious about after the blackberry experience? A. How wild fruit grows in nature. B. Why nature gives people inner peace. C. Whether all living things are balanced. D. How people can connect with each other. 5. What does Dr. Paul Marshall’s research indicate? A. Older people need nature more than others. B. Only certain people can benefit from nature. C. Scholars hold different views on nature. D. Nature’s spiritual comfort is available to many. 6. Why is Colleen’s experience included in the text? A. To explain why her father became ill. B. To prove hiking is a popular family activity. C. To show nature can help heal emotional pain. D. To describe the beauty of a hilltop. 7. What does the underlined phrase “communing with” in the last paragraph probably mean? A. Keeping pace with. B. Taking account of. C. Making up for. D. Connecting with. C As our planet steadily gets warmer, our bodies will need to deal with the stresses of higher temperatures. A new study shows that continued exposure to heat waves can age the body as much as regular drinking or smoking. Led by a team from the University of Hong Kong in China, the investigation looked at data from 24,922 people who had gone through medical examinations between 2008 and 2022. The researchers compared their records with the number of heat waves each person had probably experienced based on their registered addresses. The results showed that those who had been exposed to more heat waves had higher scores for biological markers associated with biological aging — a measure of the functionality of tissues, organs, and cells. The participants were sorted into four groups depending on heat wave exposure, and each step up from group to group was associated with an extra 0.023 to 0.031 years in biological age. The researchers say it puts heat waves in the same category as smoking, drinking, diet, and exercise in terms of how much they can affect biological aging. While this isn’t an entirely new connection, and doesn’t show direct cause and effect, it outperforms many earlier studies in that it measures heat waves over a long period of time in a large group of people. The findings add to what we know about both heat waves and aging. Since the elderly, those in rural areas, and physical workers are often more exposed to heat than others, this study highlights the need for further policy development to address environmental inequalities and enhance population adaptation to the health impacts of heat waves. The findings are also important in the context of aging populations. By 2050, some 16 percent of people worldwide are expected to be aged 65 or over, and as we all live longer lives, targeted policies and interventions are urgently needed to make sure those extra years are lived as healthily as possible. 8. How did the researchers carry out the study? A. By interviewing people from different areas. B. By tracking heat waves as they happened. C. By giving participants new health examinations. D. By studying collected health and location data. 9. What did the study find about people exposed to more heat waves? A. Their organs functioned better than average. B. They were more likely to smoke and drink. C. They did less exercise than other people. D. Their bodies showed signs of aging more quickly. 10. What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A. The limitations of earlier research. B. The causes of biological aging. C. The advantages of the study. D. The measures to reduce heat waves. 11. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Longer lives do not always mean healthier lives. B. Healthy aging requires further policy support. C. The elderly are less exposed to heat waves. D. Rural workers adapt to heat better than others. D From live speech translation in video calls to auto-dubbing on TikTok, real-time translation powered by artificial intelligence (AI) is now embedded in everyday life. All this raises a vital question. If machines can do this faster and more accurately than humans, is investing years in learning another language still worth it? Our recent study examined cognitive performance in 94 adults aged 18 to 83, using both visuospatial (视觉空间的) and auditory tasks across working memory, attention and inhibition. Put simply, we looked at how people process and respond to information they see or mentally map out in space (visuospatial) and information they hear (auditory). Examples include remembering sounds, focusing on visual patterns, or ignoring distractions. Our study measured multilingualism as a spectrum, not a category. This allowed us to capture diverse language backgrounds and experiences. Multilingual participants spoke a range of languages with varying levels of proficiency and daily use, reflecting the linguistic diversity common within multicultural communities. Across most tasks, multilinguals and monolinguals performed similarly. However, one pattern was striking. Individuals with richer, more diverse multilingual experience showed markedly better performance in visuospatial working memory. These effects were most pronounced in older people. This suggests that multilingual experience doesn’t broadly enhance cognition, like some headlines claim. Instead, it may help preserve specific functions over time. Separate population-level research has also linked multilingualism to later onset of Alzheimer’s disease and better overall ageing outcomes, though the mechanisms continue to be debated. Overall, however, it appears that sustained use of multiple languages represents a form of mental activity with effects that accumulate across a lifetime. AI translation excels at speed and accessibility. For many practical purposes, it works remarkably well. AI will continue to change how we engage with language learning. It can personalize instruction, minimize barriers and provide feedback at scale. But it can’t replace the cognitive work that comes from learning a language. This work builds and preserves the mental sharpness that sustains us across a lifetime. And this difference still matters. 12. What is the main purpose of mentioning AI translation at the beginning? A. To show that AI has already surpassed human translators. B. To question whether learning a language is still worthwhile. C. To explain why real-time translation is now so common. D. To argue that language learning will soon become outdated. 13. What can be learned about the recent study? A. It grouped participants strictly by their language backgrounds. B. It found multilinguals outperformed monolinguals in most tasks. C. It treated multilingual experience as a matter of degree. D. It proved that age is the key factor in cognitive benefits. 14. What does the author suggest about multilingualism in the last three paragraphs? A. It mainly improves young people’s visuospatial memory. B. It can effectively prevent Alzheimer’s disease. C. It is more beneficial than other forms of mental activity. D. It may help maintain certain mental abilities as people age. 15. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.

Not because she couldn’t, but because every time she tried, her voice shrank to a whisper. Her classmates called her “the shadow.” Only her little brother, Sam, knew another Maya — the one who made up bedtime stories about a brave rabbit and a paper moon. Maya wrote those stories in a worn blue notebook, never showing anyone. In September, a new teacher, Mr. Reed, arrived. He started a class magazine and asked everyone to submit a short story. Maya’s best friend, Ava, urged her to try. “Just write. I’ll hand it in for you if you want,” Ava said. Maya spent three nights polishing a story about a silent girl who could only speak through paper birds. She gave it to Ava, who passed it to Mr. Reed without Maya’s name. Two weeks later, Mr. Reed announced that the class magazine would be printed, and the best story would be read at the school’s Autumn Festival. The chosen story was “The Paper Birds.” The class clapped. Maya froze. Then Mr. Reed added, “The writer will read it aloud on stage.” Ava looked at Maya, whose face had turned pale. Sam, who had come to visit her classroom that afternoon, tugged her sleeve and whispered, “You can do it. The rabbit told me.” 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。 That evening, Ava and Sam sat with Maya, the blue notebook open. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ On the night of the Autumn Festival, Maya stepped onto the stage. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
