I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. One day about 12 years ago. I stopped at a supermarket along the Coral Bay coast to buy some groceries. But the lady at the counter told me that the supermarket didn’t sell any shopping bags to prevent plastic in the ocean and help preserve the endangered turtles (海龟) living in that area. After a first reaction of surprise, I gathered all purchases in my arms and left, reflecting on what I had been told.
The experience in that trip made me more conscious about my impact and pushed me to adopt various habits to travel and live more sustainable. For example, I always carried a cotton bag when I went shopping.
My travel to Indonesia was another life-changing experience that strengthened my determination to turn to a zero-waste lifestyle. In Indonesia, finding safe drinkable water was always a challenge, so I traveled with my water bottle, managing to avoid almost entirely the use of plastic during my trip.
However, I was seriously struck by my stay on the Libaran Island, where a sustainable and turtle conservation project was launched 10 years ago. Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community in cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. Walking on a carpet of plastic that almost prevented me from seeing the beach underneath was quite shocking.
Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!
24．How does the author lead in the topic of the text
A．By reflecting on the present life.
B．By looking into the future environment.

D．By recalling the past shopping experience.
25．What did the author decide to do after the trip about 12 years ago
A．Cut back on travel. B．Shop less frequently.

26．What do we know about the project in paragraph 4
A．It had no clear goal. B．It didn’t work out very well.
C．It met the islanders’ needs. D．It was aimed to prevent turtle attacks.
27．What does the author think of the plastic problem
A．It is permanent. B．It is manageable.
C．It is easy to solve. D．It is lacking in attention.

Scientists are confused about two newly discovered stars. The two stars, one of which was announced this month in the journal Nature, send out long pulses (脉冲) of radio waves about every 20 minutes. This means they move much more slowly, and they have other characteristics that astronomers can’t explain. “We are all still quite amazed,” says astronomer Natasha Hurley-Walker, who led the discovery of both of these surprising sources.
The mystery began in 2021, when Hurley-Walker and her colleagues discovered a slowly repeating radio pulse. It shone for three months. But by the time they discovered it in the records, its activity had died down, and it had become invisible in the skies. In a January 2022 paper, the scientists suggested the object could be a kind of star called a magnetar (磁陀星). But the object, with the name GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3, sent out a pulse every 18 minutes instead of every few seconds like known magnetars.
It also had no X-ray signal associated with the radio emission (发射), which doesn’t fit with magnetar theories. And strangely, the object’s magnetic field was likely much stronger than previously seen. So the scientists began looking for other similar objects. In June 2022, Hurley-Walker and her colleagues began observing the entire visible sky every three nights. Almost immediately, they found something that sent out a radio flash every 21 minutes.
At first glance, it looked similar to the previously discovered object. But once the team began to dig through data for additional pulses from this source, named GPM J1839-10, the object only seemed more perplexing. Unlike the first star, the signal of J1839-10 was detected over decades.
For now, researchers assume both objects are the same. But why would one flash for three months and the other for 33 years and counting “I don’t know,” says Hurley-Walker. “That’s the problem.”
28．What can be learned about the two newly discovered stars
A．They were made public in Nature this month.
B．They send out short radio waves every 20 minutes.
C．They move at the slowest speed of all known stars.
D．They are unlike the stars astronomers have seen before.
29．How often do known magnetars send out a pulse
A．Every few seconds. B．Every 18 minutes.
C．Every 20 minutes. D．Every 21 minutes.
30．What drove scientists to look for the second star
A．Radio waves research project. B．Strange features of the first star.
C．The government’s guidance program. D．The assumption of the magnetar theories.
31．Which of the following best explains “perplexing” underlined in paragraph 4
A．Appealing. B．Challenging.
C．Unaccountable. D．Unacceptable.
D
Scientists have mapped out oceanic “dead zones” from the Pliocene, about 5. 3 to 2. 6 million years ago, when Earth’s temperature was two to three degrees higher than today. This could offer insight into the future locations and effects of low oxygen areas in a warmer Earth’s oceans.
Oxygen minimum zones, or OMZs, are regions in the ocean with lower oxygen levels in the mid-waters to support marine (海洋的) life. These dead zones play an important role in the ocean’s overall health. “Their locations show where carbon and nitrogen (氮) are available in the ocean —so they’re important drivers of nutrient cycles,” says Catherine Davis, assistant professor at North Carolina State University.
Being able to predict the location of OMZs is important not only for understanding nutrient cycling but also because of their effects on marine life. Oceanic dead zones restrict the range of animals to the shallow surface ocean where oxygen is more plentiful. Davis and her colleagues wanted to figure out how a warmer climate might impact future OMZs. So they looked to the Pliocene, when the Earth’s atmospheric CO2 levels were close to what they are now.
“This is the first global spatial reconstruction of oxygen minimum zones in the past,” Davis says. “And it’s in line with what we’re already seeing in the Atlantic in terms of lower oxygen levels. Warmer water holds less oxygen. This dead zone map from the Pliocene could give us insight into what the Atlantic might look like 100 years from now.”
What would a future with much less oxygen in the Atlantic mean According to Davis, it could have a big impact on everything from carbon storage and nutrient cycling in the ocean to how fisheries and marine species are managed. “OMZs act as a ‘floor’ for marine —animals they are pushed to the surface,” Davis says. “So fishermen may suddenly see a lot of fish, but it doesn’t mean that there are actually more than normal —they’re just being forced into a smaller space.” Fisheries will need to take the effects of OMZs into account when managing populations.
32．What does Catherine Davis say about OMZs
A．They have lower carbon levels. B．They may affect the ocean’s health.
C．They make Earth’s temperature higher. D．They have the highest oxygen levels.
33．How do OMZs benefit marine life
A．They offer more oxygen.
B．They make the climate more pleasant.
C．They drive animals to areas with more oxygen.
D．They attract more scientists to research the ocean.
34．Which field is most probably influenced by OMZs
A．Fishing. B．Farming.
C．Education. D．Travel.
35．What is a suitable title for the text
A．Scientists Have Mapped Future Oceans
B．Animals in the Ocean Will Benefit from OMZs
C．“Dead Zones” in the Old Times Will Appear Again
D．Map of Ancient Ocean “Dead Zones” Could Predict Future Ocean

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesn’t matter if the words come from ourselves or someone else. The positive and negative effects are just as lasting.
We all talk to ourselves sometimes. 36 . In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. 37 .
Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. 38 . And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.
39 . Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well. Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it loving Is it needed If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.
Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. 40 . The choice is ours.
A．How should I say it
B．Will we use our words to hurt or to heal
C．Generally people like positive and pleasant words.
D．We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though.
E．Words possess power because of their lasting effect.
F．So in order to stay positive, we should only speak encouraging words to ourselves.
G．For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange.

Ambition is a necessary quality in life. It is the 41 which drives us on to use whatever talent we have got. If we haven’t got some degree of ambition, these talents will not be used for our own and others’ 42 .
Ambition, 43 , can have several faults. First of all, it can be 44 . We may not be able to see the limits of our own abilities, so we do ambitious things that are completely beyond us. Our career masters can see our good qualities and our limitations 45 . They may tell us that we haven’t the ability to deal with people and would not make good businessmen. We refuse to take their 46 . We keep on trying. Many years and many 47 later we are forced to accept their judgement. But what a waste of time our ill-founded ambition has caused us!
Secondly, our ambition can be too concentrated. Our attention is devoted to one 48 aim, such as getting distinctions in a science subject. Everything that may draw us away from this aim is cut out of our lives. In the end we get our distinctions. But what 49 we have caused ourselves in the process! We are isolated beings only caring about a particular examination. And we probably won’t make good scientists. We 50 the breadth of vision necessary for success at a higher level.
Thirdly, our ambition can be limited to lifeless objectives. We want to gain money, or power, or membership of some circles. Persons who feel inferior try to 51 by seeking the respect of others through possession of these artificial signs of worth.
Fourthly, our ambition may be 52 . Instead of directing some of our ambitions towards community improvement, we may exploit members of the community in the interests of self-advancements. In later life we may be ambitious for the success of our children but we regard this success as only a further 53 of our own success.
Ambition is necessary in the lives of individuals—necessary for their own improvement and for the improvement of the community in which they live. But, like all blind forces, it must be 54 if it is not to cause disaster. It must be tightly controlled by the head and the heart. Otherwise ambition may demand too high a price 55 human qualities.

The Yellow River Wetland Park in Yinchuan was once a place local people avoided: raw sewage(污水)caused awful smells and almost no grass could grow on the land. It had been several years 56 this area became a popular destination for locals to take a walk and a habitat frequented by migratory birds. Now this Wetland Park has appealed 57 many bird photographers.
The Yinchuan Wetland Park is a microcosm (缩影) of China’s achievements in wetland protection. Last year seven Chinese cities 58 (award) “international wetland cities” at the 14th Meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties to the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands (COP 14). So far, there are 13 wetland cities in China, showing 59 great variety of patterns and styles.
For example, Wuhan, 60 (acknowledge) as a “city of a hundred lakes”, has five large wetland reserves, 61 tens of thousands of birds come to stay in wintertime.
Liangping district in Chongging, however, is more 62 (close) tied to human activity. People built small wetlands in rural areas. What’s more, they have combined these wetlands with organic farms, homestays, and healthcare centers, which 63 (result) in an income increase of 52,000 yuan per household in the past decade.
Panjin in Liaoning province is another surprising wetland city. In the past, the city long suffered from 64 (environment) problems caused by oil production. But now in the coastal wetlands, seagrass turns a breathtaking red every autumn, 65 (create) beautiful “red beaches”.

67．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。
During the summer before Patty entered fifth grade, she decided to try a new sport. Swim training was nearly over and Patty was the fastest swimmer in her age group. She had always been the best. The neighborhood was offering a one-week tennis training course. Patty and her friend Darla got permission from their parents to join.
On Saturday morning, Darla’s mom took the girls to a store and bought them each a good, used tennis racket. “If you girls stick to tennis, then we’ll talk about a new racket. These will do for now.” The girls were excited about their new purchases. On Monday morning, at 7:00 a.m., Patty’s mom woke her up. “It’s time for tennis!” Patty covered her face. “Mom, it’s too early!” She made great effort to get out of bed and down to the breakfast table. Patty finished breakfast and ran to Darla’s house, then they walked to the court.
Mrs. Cane, the tennis coach, lined everyone up and started with the basics. After that, Mrs. Cane tirelessly taught them to practice their forehand and backhand. By the end of the week, Patty had made impressive progress. Mrs. Cane commented that Patty had lots of potential. Darla, on the other hand, was struggling. The other teenagers were having a tough time of it, too. Patty was the only one who seemed to get somewhere.
Since then, Darla had always been out in the August heat, practicing her serves or hitting the ball. Patty wasn’t really interested. She felt she was such a “natural” for tennis that she really didn’t need to practice. By the end of the summer, Darla began to get the hang of it. She joined a neighborhood junior tennis team. There would be matches every Thursday. Patty wanted to join as well, but she didn’t want to miss her favorite TV show. She told herself that she would join it when she got some free time. If Darla had fun, she would join the team in the spring.
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。
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course.

Now, listen carefully! I want to tell you about a new TV quiz show for children. It’s called Answer That, and it will be on channel five at 4:00 every Thursday. It will be just like the popular adult quiz show on the same channel on Monday afternoon. I’m sure you’ve all seen that. Every week there will be 48 children on the program. They will be in 8 teams, and each team will have 6 children. The questions will be easy at the beginning of the quiz and then they will get more difficult. They will all be about films, music and TV. So it has nothing to do with your science knowledge or whether you’re good at sports or not. In the end there will only be one team left — the winners. There will be some great prizes. Last week, the winners got a mobile phone. This week the winners will all get a new camera. Everyone loves taking photos. Next week the first prize is a computer for everyone. If you would like to be on Answer That, then call 05735 789 655. Just give your name, age and school address, so that we can fill in the application form for you. And maybe you will be on TV soon. OK, that’s all for me. Thank you for listening. And I wish you all a good night.

【导语】本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。文章主要讲述了作者在旅行中对塑料问题的意识到，并且决心采取一些可持续生活方式来减少塑料使用。旅行中的经历让作者意识到塑料对地球的影响，特别是对海龟的影响。作者在印度尼西亚的旅行中进一步加强了对零浪费生活方式的决心。尽管在海龟保护项目中付出了很大努力，但塑料问题依然存在。最后，作者呼吁大家从自己做起，逐步减少塑料使用。
24．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I first realized that plastic was a serious matter for our planet during my travel in Western Australia. (在西澳大利亚旅行期间，我第一次意识到塑料对我们的星球来说是一个严重的问题)”可知，文章一开始作者回忆起12年前在澳大利亚的旅行中的一个购物经历，这个经历让作者第一次意识到塑料对地球的影响。由此推知，作者通过回忆过去的购物经历引入了文章的主题。故选D。
25．细节理解题。根据第二段“The experience in that trip made me more conscious about my impact and pushed me to adopt various habits to travel and live more sustainable. For example, I always carried a cotton bag when I went shopping.(那次旅行的经历让我更加意识到自己的影响，并促使我养成了各种旅行习惯和更可持续的生活方式。例如，我总是带着一个棉袋当我去购物)”可知，通过这次旅行，促使作者养成了各种零浪费的旅行习惯和更可持续的生活方式即作者决定领导一种绿色的生活。故选C。
26．推理判断题。根据第四段中“Despite the big efforts by the project staff and the community in cleaning up the beaches and creatively reusing plastic, the shore was washed daily with tons of plastic coming from the tides. (尽管项目工作人员和社区在清理海滩和创造性地重复利用塑料方面做出了巨大努力，但海岸每天都被潮汐带来的成吨塑料冲刷)”可知，尽管项目的工作人员和社区在清理海滩，可是每天还是会带来成吨塑料。由此推知，该项目收效甚微即作用不大。故选B。
27．推理判断题。根据最后一段“Facing this global issue in person, I felt a sense of sadness and anger that soon turned into determination: to do as much as possible to reduce plastic in my life. Sometimes we might feel helpless in front of big problems, but we should be aware that small changes could actually make a difference step by step!(面对这个全球性的问题，我感到一种悲伤和愤怒，很快就变成了决心：尽我所能减少生活中的塑料。有时我们可能会在大问题面前感到无助，但我们应该意识到，小的改变实际上可以一步一步地改变！)”可知，面临塑料污染这个全球性问题，作者感觉到悲伤和愤怒，虽然感觉到无助，但是作者相信从自身的小的改变一定可以产生大的影响即一步一步地改变并解决这个问题。由此推知，作者认为塑料问题一定是可以解决的。故选B。
28．D 29．A 30．B 31．C
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了科学家们对两颗新发现的恒星感到困惑以及这两颗恒星各自存在的难以理解之处。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段“This means they move much more slowly, and they have other characteristics that astronomers can’t explain.(这意味着它们的移动速度要慢得多，而且它们还有其他一些天文学家无法解释的特征)”可推知，这两颗新发现的恒星与专家们所了解的现有星体都是不同的。故选D。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段“But the object, with the name GLEAM-X J162759. 5-523504. 3, sent out a pulse every 18 minutes instead of every few seconds like known magnetars.(但这颗名为GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3的天体每18分钟发出一次脉冲，而不是像已知的磁陀星那样每几秒钟发出一次脉冲)”可知，已知的磁陀星每几秒钟发射一次脉冲。故选A。
30．细节理解题。根据第三段“It also had no X-ray signal associated with the radio emission(发射), which doesn’t fit with magnetar theories. And strangely, the object’s magnetic field was likely much stronger than previously seen. So the scientists began looking for other similar objects.(它也没有与射电发射相关的X射线信号，这与磁星理论不符。奇怪的是，这个物体的磁场可能比之前看到的要强得多。因此，科学家们开始寻找其他类似的物体)”可知，第一颗星星的种种奇怪特征促使科学家们决定寻找类似的星体。故选B。
31．词句猜测题。根据第二段“But the object, with the name GLEAM-X J162759. 5-523504. 3, sent out a pulse every 18 minutes instead of every few seconds like known magnetars.(但这颗名为GLEAM-X J162759.5-523504.3的天体每18分钟发出一次脉冲，而不是像已知的磁星那样每几秒钟发出一次脉冲)”；第三段“And strangely, the object’s magnetic field was likely much stronger than previously seen.(奇怪的是，这个物体的磁场可能比之前看到的要强得多)”以及划线词上文“the object only seemed more”可知，前文中介绍了第一颗发现的新星的种种难以理解之处，根据该词前面的修饰词more可以推知，第二颗新发现的星星是更加无法用现有知识解释的。故画线词义与Unaccountable最接近，表示“难以理解的”。故选C。
32．B 33．C 34．A 35．D
【导语】本文是说明文。介绍了科学家门绘制出了上新世的海洋OMZs，从而去推测大西洋100年后的样子，以及未来大西洋里的氧气少得多意味着什么。
32． 推理判断题。根据第二段““Their locations show where carbon and nitrogen (氮) are available in the ocean —so they’re important drivers of nutrient cycles,” says Catherine Davis, assistant professor at North Carolina State University.(北卡罗莱纳州立大学助理教授凯瑟琳·戴维斯说：“它们的位置显示了海洋中碳和氮的可用性——所以它们是营养循环的重要驱动力。”)”可推断，海洋中低氧地区对于海洋中的营养循环是很关键的，可能影响海洋的健康。故选B项。
33．细节理解题。根据第三段“Being able to predict the location of OMZs is important not only for understanding nutrient cycling but also because of their effects on marine life. Oceanic dead zones restrict the range of animals to the shallow surface ocean where oxygen is more plentiful.(能够预测OMZs的位置不仅对了解营养循环很重要，而且对海洋生物的影响也很重要。海洋死亡区将动物的活动范围限制在氧气更丰富的浅海表面)”可知，这些低氧地区的存在可以让动物们主要活动在氧气比较充足的浅水区，从而有利于海洋生命的生存。故选C项。
34．推理判断题。根据第五段““So fishermen may suddenly see a lot of fish, but it doesn’t mean that there are actually more than normal —they’re just being forced into a smaller space.” Fisheries will need to take the effects of OMZs into account when managing populations.(“所以渔民可能会突然看到很多鱼，但这并不意味着实际上比正常情况下更多——他们只是被迫进入一个更小的空间。”渔业在管理种群时需要考虑到海洋保护区的影响)” 可推断，渔业最有可能受到OMZs的影响。故选A项。
35．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Scientists have mapped out oceanic “dead zones” from the Pliocene, about 5. 3 to 2. 6 million years ago, when Earth’s temperature was two to three degrees higher than today. This could offer insight into the future locations and effects of low oxygen areas in a warmer Earth’s oceans.(科学家们绘制出了上新世的海洋“死亡区”，大约在530万到260万年前，当时地球的温度比现在高2到3度。这可以让我们深入了解未来地球海洋中低氧区域的位置和影响)”以及倒数第二段“This dead zone map from the Pliocene could give us insight into what the Atlantic might look like 100 years from now.(这张上新世的死亡区地图可以让我们了解100年后大西洋的样子)”可知，本文主要介绍了科学家绘制了古代海洋中的低氧区域的地图，通过这张地图可以对未来100年后海洋的状况进行预测，所以D项“Map of Ancient Ocean “Dead Zones” Could Predict Future Ocean(古代海洋“死亡区”地图可以预测未来的海洋)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。
36．D 37．F 38．G 39．E 40．B
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了语言的力量。积极的语言可以激励我们，消极的语言会摧毁我们。用话语去伤害别人还是治愈别人，选择权在于我们自己。
36．根据上文“We all talk to ourselves sometimes.(我们都有自言自语的时候)”以及后文“In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.(事实上，我们真的不应该感到不好意思，因为越来越多的专家认为大声自言自语是一种健康的习惯)”由此可知，本句属于过渡句，上文提到我们都会自言自语，后文则提到“不应该感到不好意思”，说明本句是在说明我们会为自己自言自语的行为感到不好意思。故D选项“不过，我们通常都不好意思承认”符合语境，故选D。
37．根据上文“Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. (不过要注意，77%的自言自语往往是消极的)”由此可知，上文提到了要注意自己自言自语时的消极语言，说明本句是在强调要对自己说积极鼓励的话。故F选项“所以为了保持积极，我们应该只对自己说鼓励的话”符合语境，故选F。
38．根据后文“And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. However, critical language may cause anger and defense.(而店员可能也会以同样的方式回答你。然而，批评的语言可能会引起愤怒和防卫)”由此可知，后文提到了商店店员，可知本句是在举例说明在购物时会发生的一些情况，且强调要使用热情友好的语言。后文中the clerk与G选项中store相对应。故G选项“例如，当我们把商品退回商店时，我们可能会在交换过程中使用热情友好的语言”符合语境，故选G。
39．根据后文“Many of us regret something we once said. We remember unkind words said to us as well.( 很多人对自己说过的话感到后悔。我们也记得别人对我们说过的不友善的话)”可知，后文提到很多人对自己说出的话感到后悔，也记得他人对自己说过的不友善的话，说明人们说出的话语有持久的影响。故E选项“语言具有力量，因为它们具有持久的影响”符合语境，故选E。
40．根据上文“Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things.(话语具有积极的和消极的力量。当我们积极地说话时，我们周围的人会得到鼓励。我们可以提供希望，建立自尊，激励他人做到最好。消极的话语会摧毁一切)”以及后文“The choice is ours.(选择权在我们自己)”可知，上文分别说明了积极的话语和消极的话语的影响，本句承接上文，说明选择用话语去伤害别人还是治愈别人，选择权在我们自己。故B选项“我们会用我们的话去伤害别人还是治愈别人？”符合语境，故选B。
41．D 42．C 43．A 44．D 45．B 46．C 47．C 48．A 49．A 50．D 51．D 52．A 53．B 54．A 55．B

67．【参考范文】
The week before school started, Mrs. Cane held another training course. Darla and Patty signed up immediately. In a class, Mrs. Cane asked the teenagers to play in turn. Darla came first, impressing others with her excellent performance. Mrs. Cane was pleased with Darla’s progress. “Well, I can tell who’s been practicing!” she smiled. Soon it was Patty’s turn. Everyone looked at the “talent” expectantly. Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the rest, which was a shock for all. Patty was upset and absent until the class was over.
Patty couldn’t stop thinking of her poor performance on the way home. She realized she needed change if she still wanted to continue with tennis. The next day, Patty came to Darla’s team when they practiced to ask whether she could join. Warmly welcomed, she became a member of the team that day. Weak though she was, Patty enjoyed herself and worked hard at practice. She finally found that “natural talent” got her nowhere without diligence and she was able to join in the fun. That was one of the best lessons of her life.
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了在暑假期间，Patty和她的朋友Darla一起加入了Mrs. Cane的网球培训课。Mrs. Cane不知疲倦地教他们练习正手和反手，起初，Patty进步很快，被教练称赞具有天赋，Darla和课上其他同学却学得艰难，所以Darla一直勤加练习，练习发球或击球，Patty并不是很感兴趣，她觉得自己打网球是天生的，根本不需要练习。夏末的时候，Darla开始掌握了窍门，她加入了附近的青少年网球队，Patty也想加入，但是又想看电视。
【详解】1.段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“开学前一周，Mrs. Cane又举办了一次培训课程。”可知，第一段可描写Patty和Darla在培训课程上的表现。
②由第二段首句内容“在回家的路上，帕蒂一直在想她糟糕的表现。”可知，第二段可描写Patty加入了Darla的队伍，并且醒悟了，知道了勤奋练习的重要性。
2.续写线索：Darla得第一名——Mrs.Cane高兴——Patty表现不好——Patty反省——Patty加入Darla的队伍——Patty努力练习——Patty感悟
3.词汇激活
行为类
①得第一：come first/take the first place
②远远落后：be far behind/fall further behind
③意识到：realize/be aware
情绪类
①高兴的：pleased/delighted
②沮丧的：upset/dispirited
【点睛】[高分句型1] Yet, Patty had not practiced and was far behind the rest, which was a shock for all. (由关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] She realized she needed change if she still wanted to continue with tennis. (由if引导的条件状语从句和that引导的宾语从句，省略了连接词that)
