The app is a social media platform where people share snippets (片段) of their lives and content they consider worth sharing, and it’s also a space to communicate with others. While all those are obviously great things, it comes with many negative aspects. Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling (滚屏) addiction. The Internet is overflowing with con tent and our “Far You” page is an unending supplier of it. What I’ve come to learn through my own experience is that after some time we become so used to scrolling that it becomes a reflex action (反射动作) for us to do so whenever we’re bored. Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. I wasn’t feeling motivated enough to get myself out of the bad cycle I’d fallen into. Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app. Now I can concentrate on reading and writing again. I’m glad I’ve made the right decision. I know many young people are struggling now just like I used to. If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it. I’ve managed to do that. You can do it, too. 4. What does the author think is the biggest problem of using the app? A. Being addicted to scrolling. B. Sharing too much about one’s life. C. Making one get bored easily. D. Having’ difficulty in finding good content. 5. How did the app influence the author? A. She became more creative. B. She became interested, in online stories. C. She developed some new hobbies. D. She couldn’t focus on reading and writing. 6. What do we know about the author’s quitting the app? A. She failed many times. B. She succeeded gradually. C. She managed it overnight. D. She got help from her parents. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell her story of using social media. B. To show how she began to write again. C. To show social media is a double edged sword. D. To warn young people not to be addicted to social media. 【答案】4. A 5. D 6. B 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述作者沉迷手机社交软件，影响生活和创造力，后决心戒除并呼吁年轻人做出改变。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段中的“Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling (滚屏) addiction.(问题清单上的第一个是滚屏上瘾。)”可知，作者认为使用这个应用程序的最大问题是滚屏成瘾。故选A。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中“Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. (在我使用这个应用程序之前，我真的很喜欢写作和读书。然而，在我使用它之后，一切都变了。我唯一想做的就是玩手机。滚屏只会让我感到疲倦和懒惰，我的创造力就会丧失。)”可知，这个应用程序使作者无法专注于阅读和写作。故选D。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app.(最后，我意识到我被困住了。我知道我需要摆脱它。但这不是一夜之间发生的。我花了几周时间才最终停止使用这款应用。)”可知，作者是逐渐成功戒掉这个应用程序的。故选B。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it. I’ve managed to do that. You can do it, too.(如果你认为使用社交媒体平台对你的生活有负面影响，那就采取行动戒掉它。我已经做到了。你也可以做到。)”可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是警告年轻人不要沉迷于社交媒体。故选D。 It’s not common for student-led inventions to make international news. But when a project brings real connection to people’s lives, it makes sense the world takes notice. Elly Savatia, a senior student from Kenya, has created Terp 360, a web-based app that translates spoken language into sign language using AI-powered 3D images. It’s a bit like Google Translate — but designed specifically to give deaf users real-time sign language help, without the need for a human interpreter (翻译). “To work, study or see a doctor, you have to communicate,” Savatia explained. “But the deaf community is often left behind.” He spent months recording common sign language moves and testing if the app’s translations were clear — closing this gap was his main goal. Earlier this month, the invention got international recognition. Savatia got £50,000 from the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering, winning the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation (创新). His project beat three other finalists from across Africa. The judges were impressed not just by the technology, but more by its real effect. “What really stood out is the level of innovation,” shares Rebecca Enonchong, the head of the judging panel (评审团). “It shows Africans can use advanced technology to solve problems, not just in Africa but around the world.” What makes Terp 360 so powerful isn’t just the technology. It’s the heart behind it. Savatia developed the app together with Kenyan deaf people, making sure it fits their real needs. Now it supports Kenyan Sign Language and Swahili. He plans to add more, like Ugandan, Rwandan, South African, British and American Sign Languages by 2027. And that’s what makes this story so heartening: caring for others in action. In a world full of digital noise, Terp 360 reminds us that technology can still serve something deeply human — the simple but powerful act of understanding each other. 8. What is Terp 360 mainly designed for? A. Recording Kenyan sign languages. B. Translating sign language to texts. C. Offering speech-to-sign translation. D. Teaching international sign languages. 9. What impressed the judges most about Terp 360? A. Its advanced technology alone. B. Its practical influence on people. C. Its large number of recorded signs. D. Its special design for African users. 10. What helps Savatia make sure Terp 360 meets users’ needs? A. Funding from the UK Academy. B. Support from the local government. C. Teaming up with the deaf community. D. Recognition from global organizations. 11. Which of the following can best describe Savatia? A. Creative and kind-hearted. B. Curious and humorous. C. Brave and responsible. D. Confident and outgoing. 【答案】8. C 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了肯尼亚学生Elly Savatia开发了一款名为Terp 360的网络应用程序，该程序利用人工智能驱动的3D图像将口语翻译成手语，为聋人用户提供实时帮助。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Elly Savatia, a senior student from Kenya, has created Terp 360, a web-based app that translates spoken language into sign language using AI-powered 3D images It’s a bit like Google Translate — but designed specifically to give deaf users real-time sign language help, without the need for a human interpreter (翻译). (肯尼亚大四学生Elly Savatia开发了一款名为Terp 360的网络应用程序，该程序利用人工智能驱动的3D图像将口语翻译成手语。它有点像谷歌翻译，但专门为聋人用户提供实时手语帮助，无需人工翻译。)”可知，Terp 360主要是为了提供语音到手语的翻译服务。故选C项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中“The judges were impressed not just by the technology, but more by its real effect. (评委们不仅对这项技术印象深刻，更对其实际效果印象深刻。)”可知，评委们对Terp 360最印象深刻的是它对人们的实际影响。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段中“Savatia developed the app together with Kenyan deaf people, making sure it fits their real needs. (Savatia与肯尼亚聋人一起开发了这款应用程序，确保它符合他们的实际需求。)”可知，与聋人社区合作帮助Savatia确保Terp 360满足用户需求。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Elly Savatia, a senior student from Kenya, has created Terp 360, a web-based app that translates spoken language into sign language using AI-powered 3D images It’s a bit like Google Translate — but designed specifically to give deaf users real-time sign language help, without the need for a human interpreter (翻译). (肯尼亚大四学生Elly Savatia开发了一款名为Terp 360的网络应用程序，该程序利用人工智能驱动的3D图像将口语翻译成手语。它有点像谷歌翻译，但专门为聋人用户提供实时手语帮助，无需人工翻译。)”可知，Savatia开发了Terp 360，说明他具有创造性；根据第五段“Savatia developed the app together with Kenyan deaf people, making sure it fits their real needs. (Savatia与肯尼亚聋人一起开发了这款应用程序，确保它符合他们的实际需求。)”可知，Savatia确保Terp 360符合聋人的实际需求，说明他心地善良。所以，A项“Creative and kind-hearted. (有创造力的和心地善良的。)”能够最好地描述Savatia。故选A项。 The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and improved their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The study involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) from 45 state primary schools. They were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups were asked to read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and write a letter as Romeo after being apart from Juliet. The only difference was that the target group first took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding shown in the children’s writing, and that they expressed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed. However, she pointed out Shakespeare’s unique value: his 20,000-word vocabulary gives children a huge language improvement. Only when they act the words out with their whole bodies does this effect come to life. 12. How can children benefit from Shakespeare’s works based on the study? A. By rewriting Shakespeare’s plays. B. By performing Shakespeare’s works. C. By learning Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. By watching professional acting on stage. 13. What can be inferred about the target group in the study? A. They wrote shorter texts but expressed more emotions. B. They struggled with Shakespeare’s difficult vocabulary. C. They preferred writing about their own personal experiences. D. They could understand and express characters’ feelings better. 14. What did O’Hanlon think of the target group’s emotional depth? A. Impressive. B. Ordinary. C. Disappointing. D. Confusing. 15. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Reading makes a full man. C. Learning by doing works best. D. Actions speak louder than words. 【答案】12. B 13. D 14. A 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文介绍一项研究表明，通过戏剧表演的方式学习莎士比亚作品，能够拓宽孩子词汇量、提升写作水平并加深情感理解，对比实验证实参与戏剧活动的学生表现更突出，研究者也指出莎士比亚丰富的词汇量只有通过肢体演绎才能发挥教学优势。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第一段“The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out.(一项开创性研究表明莎士比亚作品确实有益于孩子读写能力与情感发展，但前提是孩子们要演绎他的作品)”可知，孩子通过表演莎士比亚作品从中获益。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion.(对照组学生想象自己与爱人分离的感受，实验组学生换位思考罗密欧，表达角色的情绪)”可推知，实验组学生能更好地理解和表达人物的情感。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第五段“O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding shown in the children’s writing, and that they expressed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly.(奥汉伦表示，她对孩子们作文中展现出的情感理解最为惊讶，他们共情更深、情绪表达更生动)”可知，她认为实验组孩子展现的情感深度令人印象深刻。 【15题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文多处内容，第三段实验组参与戏剧实践活动，第四段、第六段说明亲身演绎能充分发挥莎士比亚作品的教学效果，可推知文章核心体现实践式学习效果最好。 Vacation in a sustainable manner Vacationing in a sustainable manner starts from your planning. Vacationing can be busy and inconveniences occur. If you are not careful, your vacation may turn out to be more harmful than you intended.

Using a shopping list helps account for everything you will need.

Respecting their culture and appreciating their contribution will be the best approach to take. ____19____ The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd or unachievable to another person. However, sharing your experience may just help other people have different perspectives. For instance, spending a night at an off-grid cottage might seem boring to someone else. However, sharing the experience and explaining your idea to your friends may get them to appreciate it. There is no one rule that fits all scenarios when it comes to sustainable vacationing. ____20____ However, it all starts with the intention to keep our earth healthy for our future. A.

That idea stayed with him until his junior year, when his science teacher Mr. White announced a technology design competition. Seeing it as a chance to prove himself, Evan signed up at once, sure that his long hours of devotion would finally bring success. His project was a voice-controlled study helper, a small device that could respond to simple commands and remind users of their tasks. The idea sounded useful, and for weeks, Evan worked alone in his room, surrounded by notes, wires, and small parts. He rarely showed his work to others, believing that solving problems by himself meant real ability. When the device worked, Evan felt overjoyed. On the day of the competition, the school hall was full of energy. Machines lit up, screens flashed, and students spoke confidently about their designs. Some students demonstrated smart lights, while others presented robots or energy-saving inventions. Evan set up his device carefully and began his presentation. At first, everything seemed fine. But when the judges asked him to test it in a noisy environment, the device failed to respond. Evan repeated the command, adjusting the settings quickly, but the system stayed silent. Heat rose to his face as the voices around him seemed suddenly louder. The moment felt longer than it was, and soon the judges moved on. That evening, Evan sat at his desk, looking at the silent device. In the following days, he tried to avoid thinking about the competition, but his thoughts kept returning. While reading through his notebook, he noticed how often he had skipped careful testing because he was too eager to finish. He had trusted his first success too easily and ignored the possibility that real conditions might be different. What troubled him most was not simply the loss, but the realization that he had mistaken working alone for working well. 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。 Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version: Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. He first asked Mr. White for advice, who pointed out his lack of testing and teamwork. Evan then invited two classmates good at programming and acoustics to join him. They improved the device’s noise cancellation together, testing it in crowded classrooms and busy corridors over and over again. Every small problem was discussed openly, and Evan learned to listen to others’ opinions instead of working alone. He also recorded every test result, and adjusted the settings patiently until the device worked perfectly in any environment. Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition. This time, he presented his improved voice-controlled study helper confidently. He calmly introduced the design concept and detailed improvement process of his work. When tested in various complex environments, his voice-controlled study helper responded accurately and operated steadily without any mistakes. His sincere sharing and outstanding work won wide recognition from the judges and warm applause from the audience. Holding the award, he realized that real success wasn’t just about hard work, but also about reflection, humility, teamwork and careful preparation. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了坚信“努力即成功”的Evan在科技设计大赛中因设备抗噪性差而惨败，事后反思认识到独自蛮干并非高效工作，进而决心改进方法、寻求合作的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容可知，第一段可描写Evan主动向老师求教，组建团队共同改进设备，并通过反复测试解决抗噪问题的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容可知，第二段可描写Evan在新比赛中从容展示改进后的作品，获得评委认可，并从中领悟到成功的真谛。 2. 续写线索：​ 决心重启——请教老师——组建团队——反复测试——再次参赛——从容展示——获奖感悟 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ①征求建议：ask sb. for advice/seek suggestions from sb. ②赢得认可：win recognition/gain approval 情绪类 ①自信地：confidently/with assurance/self-assuredly ②谦逊：humility/modesty 【点睛】【高分句型1】​ He first asked Mr. White for advice, who pointed out his lack of testing and teamwork.(运用了关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句) 【高分句型2】​ Holding the award, he realized that real success wasn’t just about hard work, but also about reflection, humility, teamwork and careful preparation.(运用了连接词that引导宾语从句、现在分词Holding...作状语) 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 天水一中2026-2027学年第一学期高二年级第一阶段检测考试 英语试卷 (满分:150分时间:120分钟) 第一部分听力(共两节，满分30分) 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．What is the probable relationship between the speakers?

The app is a social media platform where people share snippets (片段) of their lives and content they consider worth sharing, and it’s also a space to communicate with others. While all those are obviously great things, it comes with many negative aspects. Number 1 on the list of problems is the scrolling (滚屏) addiction. The Internet is overflowing with con tent and our “Far You” page is an unending supplier of it. What I’ve come to learn through my own experience is that after some time we become so used to scrolling that it becomes a reflex action (反射动作) for us to do so whenever we’re bored. Before I used the app, I really loved writing and reading books. However, after I used it, everything changed for me. All I wanted to do was to be on my phone. Scrolling was just making me feel tired and lazy and my creativity was lost. I wasn’t feeling motivated enough to get myself out of the bad cycle I’d fallen into. Finally, I realized that I was stuck. I knew I needed to get out of it. It didn’t just happen overnight though. It took me a few weeks to finally stop using the app. Now I can concentrate on reading and writing again. I’m glad I’ve made the right decision. I know many young people are struggling now just like I used to. If you think using social media platforms is negatively affecting your life, then take action to quit it. I’ve managed to do that. You can do it, too. 4. What does the author think is the biggest problem of using the app? A. Being addicted to scrolling. B. Sharing too much about one’s life. C. Making one get bored easily. D. Having’ difficulty in finding good content. 5. How did the app influence the author? A. She became more creative. B. She became interested, in online stories. C. She developed some new hobbies. D. She couldn’t focus on reading and writing. 6. What do we know about the author’s quitting the app? A. She failed many times. B. She succeeded gradually. C. She managed it overnight. D. She got help from her parents. 7. What’s the author’s purpose in writing the text? A. To tell her story of using social media. B. To show how she began to write again. C. To show social media is a double edged sword. D. To warn young people not to be addicted to social media. It’s not common for student-led inventions to make international news. But when a project brings real connection to people’s lives, it makes sense the world takes notice. Elly Savatia, a senior student from Kenya, has created Terp 360, a web-based app that translates spoken language into sign language using AI-powered 3D images. It’s a bit like Google Translate — but designed specifically to give deaf users real-time sign language help, without the need for a human interpreter (翻译). “To work, study or see a doctor, you have to communicate,” Savatia explained. “But the deaf community is often left behind.” He spent months recording common sign language moves and testing if the app’s translations were clear — closing this gap was his main goal. Earlier this month, the invention got international recognition. Savatia got £50,000 from the UK’s Royal Academy of Engineering, winning the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation (创新). His project beat three other finalists from across Africa. The judges were impressed not just by the technology, but more by its real effect. “What really stood out is the level of innovation,” shares Rebecca Enonchong, the head of the judging panel (评审团). “It shows Africans can use advanced technology to solve problems, not just in Africa but around the world.” What makes Terp 360 so powerful isn’t just the technology. It’s the heart behind it. Savatia developed the app together with Kenyan deaf people, making sure it fits their real needs. Now it supports Kenyan Sign Language and Swahili. He plans to add more, like Ugandan, Rwandan, South African, British and American Sign Languages by 2027. And that’s what makes this story so heartening: caring for others in action. In a world full of digital noise, Terp 360 reminds us that technology can still serve something deeply human — the simple but powerful act of understanding each other. 8. What is Terp 360 mainly designed for? A. Recording Kenyan sign languages. B. Translating sign language to texts. C. Offering speech-to-sign translation. D. Teaching international sign languages. 9. What impressed the judges most about Terp 360? A. Its advanced technology alone. B. Its practical influence on people. C. Its large number of recorded signs. D. Its special design for African users. 10. What helps Savatia make sure Terp 360 meets users’ needs? A. Funding from the UK Academy. B. Support from the local government. C. Teaming up with the deaf community. D. Recognition from global organizations. 11. Which of the following can best describe Savatia? A. Creative and kind-hearted. B. Curious and humorous. C. Brave and responsible. D. Confident and outgoing. The grammar school boy from Stratford-Upon-Avon has made headlines again after a groundbreaking study showed that Shakespeare does benefit children’s literacy and emotional development, but only if they can act him out. The study found that a drama-based approach to teaching Shakespeare broadened children’s vocabulary, improved the quality of their writing, and improved their emotional understanding. “The way actors work makes a big difference to how children use language and how they think about themselves,” said Jacqui O’Hanlon, lead researcher of the study. The study involved hundreds of Year 5 pupils (aged nine and ten) from 45 state primary schools. They were divided into a target group and a control group. Both groups were asked to read a passage from Romeo and Juliet and write a letter as Romeo after being apart from Juliet. The only difference was that the target group first took part in a 30-minute drama-based activity, while the control group did not. It was shown that pupils in the target group drew on a wider vocabulary, used more complicated or rarer words, and wrote at greater length. They also appeared more comfortable writing in role. While pupils in the control group imagined how they themselves would react to being separated from a loved one, children in the target group put themselves in Romeo’s shoes and expressed that character’s emotion. O’Hanlon said she had been most surprised by the emotional understanding shown in the children’s writing, and that they expressed deeper empathy and expressed emotions more vividly. “It is probably related to the drama-based process, where you are used to trying to think and feel as the character,” she added. But could the results be reproduced with any old dramatists? O’Hanlon said more research would be needed. However, she pointed out Shakespeare’s unique value: his 20,000-word vocabulary gives children a huge language improvement. Only when they act the words out with their whole bodies does this effect come to life. 12. How can children benefit from Shakespeare’s works based on the study? A. By rewriting Shakespeare’s plays. B. By performing Shakespeare’s works. C. By learning Shakespeare’s lines by heart. D. By watching professional acting on stage. 13. What can be inferred about the target group in the study? A. They wrote shorter texts but expressed more emotions. B. They struggled with Shakespeare’s difficult vocabulary. C. They preferred writing about their own personal experiences. D. They could understand and express characters’ feelings better. 14. What did O’Hanlon think of the target group’s emotional depth? A. Impressive. B. Ordinary. C. Disappointing. D. Confusing. 15. What can be learned from the text? A. Practice makes perfect. B. Reading makes a full man. C. Learning by doing works best. D. Actions speak louder than words. Vacation in a sustainable manner Vacationing in a sustainable manner starts from your planning. Vacationing can be busy and inconveniences occur. If you are not careful, your vacation may turn out to be more harmful than you intended. The only way to avoid messing up everything is to be armed with some essential knowledge. Write a packing list and go for sustainable products while you’re at it. Using a shopping list helps account for everything you will need. Do not put yourself under pressure when you step into the store. ____16____ If a park says no to feeding wildlife, simply avoid feeding them. ____17____ If parks allowed every person to feed animals, chances of the animals dying from food poisoning are high. Attain sustainability by keeping the laws and respecting those in charge. We also protect our lives from potential danger when we follow the set guidelines. One key aspect of sustainability is the ability of humanity to coexist with nature. ____18____ For instance, the Indigenous communities in the Amazon are a part of the forest’s life. Respecting their culture and appreciating their contribution will be the best approach to take. ____19____ The sustainable option you choose may seem absurd or unachievable to another person. However, sharing your experience may just help other people have different perspectives. For instance, spending a night at an off-grid cottage might seem boring to someone else. However, sharing the experience and explaining your idea to your friends may get them to appreciate it. There is no one rule that fits all scenarios when it comes to sustainable vacationing. ____20____ However, it all starts with the intention to keep our earth healthy for our future. A. Most people are not sustainability conscious. B. This has been possible in some communities for years. C. It’s a wide field and this article barely scratches the surface. D. First get the shopping list right when shopping for supplies. E. Unfortunately, some practices may be out of reach for individuals. F. Simply read the labels and avoid products with a high carbon footprint. G. Most times, what we interpret as affection for wildlife puts them at risk. 三、完形填空 When I was young, I was constantly told I lacked the “natural talent” to become a writer. My teachers claimed I didn’t have the ____21____ for storytelling, marking my essays with red notes that “lacked spark”. My classmates made fun of my rough drafts, joking about my awkward phrasing, and even my parents suggested that I should ____22____ a more “practical” career path like accounting or teaching, worried I’d struggle to make a living from writing. The ____23____ around me made me wonder if I could ever reach my ____24____. For months, I nearly ____25____.

The idea sounded useful, and for weeks, Evan worked alone in his room, surrounded by notes, wires, and small parts. He rarely showed his work to others, believing that solving problems by himself meant real ability. When the device worked, Evan felt overjoyed. On the day of the competition, the school hall was full of energy. Machines lit up, screens flashed, and students spoke confidently about their designs. Some students demonstrated smart lights, while others presented robots or energy-saving inventions. Evan set up his device carefully and began his presentation. At first, everything seemed fine. But when the judges asked him to test it in a noisy environment, the device failed to respond. Evan repeated the command, adjusting the settings quickly, but the system stayed silent. Heat rose to his face as the voices around him seemed suddenly louder. The moment felt longer than it was, and soon the judges moved on. That evening, Evan sat at his desk, looking at the silent device. In the following days, he tried to avoid thinking about the competition, but his thoughts kept returning. While reading through his notebook, he noticed how often he had skipped careful testing because he was too eager to finish. He had trusted his first success too easily and ignored the possibility that real conditions might be different. What troubled him most was not simply the loss, but the realization that he had mistaken working alone for working well. 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。 Determined not to let the failure define him, Evan started over. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Months later, Evan signed up for another technology design competition. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
