But now 1 have to study all day. I used to play baseball and basketball with my classmates, but now I just stay at home and do my homework. I seldom watch TV these days, for I‘m often busy preparing for my tests. Books were my good friends. I used to read a lot of cartoon books and storybooks instead of reading textbooks all day like now. I enjoy doing homework with my friends. But my parents don’t allow me to do that, because they think we will talk instead of studying. I disagree. We can learn a lot from each other. My mother is a doctor, and my father is an engineer. They expect me to be a doctor when I grow up, but I want to be a writer. Maybe I’ll be a doctor anyway, but I don’t think I could be a happy doctor.

Eileen Gu got into extreme sports because of an overprotective mother. The older Gu hated seeing her daughter rush down California’s Tahoe ski slopes (斜坡), so she enrolled the 8-year-old in a free-skiing school, not knowing exactly what it involved. However, she was confident that anything would be safer than racing. Little did she know that she would one day watch her child perform death-defying flips, spins and jumps instead. And she never thought her daughter could be one of the sport’s top stars, with golds at X Games.
“I’ve probably been an adrenaline (肾上腺素) addict from day one,” Eileen Gu said. In February, that adrenaline took her all the way to the Winter Olympics in Beijing. It’s where her mom was born and a place she visited regularly during childhood. These are Gu’s first Games. She is just 18 years old.
In China, she is nicknamed “Snow Princess”. She is also academically gifted, graduating from high school a year early despite her punishing training schedule, and scoring 1,580 on her SAT and getting accepted into Stanford for 2022.
It’s a rapid rise that she hopes will inspire others. A speech, which she made to her seventh-grade class, urged her peers to “show the boys that girls are just as powerful as they are”. Naturally, you don’t soar to such heights without getting hurt. After cracking a finger and tearing a ligament (韧带) in her thumb, she was expected to miss last year’s world championships in Aspen. Gu certainly walks the talk: She instead chose to compete without ski poles and took home two gold medals and a bronze.
“Honestly, I’m a little nervous about getting the poles back, because I’ve gotten used to skiing without them.” she said after the event.
24. What caused Eileen Gu to be interested in extreme sports at first
A. Her special talent. B. Her strong interest.
C. Her experienced coach. D. Her overprotective mother.
25. What did Eileen Gu’s mother do to help develop her daughter’s interest
A. Take her daughter to skiing classes. B. Watch sports program with her daughter.
C. Give her daughter some skiing equipment. D. Travel around the world with her daughter.
26. What do we know about Eileen Gu from the text
A. She has grown up in Beijing. B. She has graduated from Stanford.
C. She has been to Beijing many times. D. She has won gold medals in other Olympics.
27. In which column of the magazine could you probably find this text
A. Fashion. B. Technology. C. Environment. D. Figure.
【答案】24. D 25. A 26. C 27. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了谷爱凌的相关事迹，她如何爱上滑雪运动及在此项运动上展现天赋。
【24题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“Eileen Gu got into extreme sports because of an overprotective mother. (谷爱凌因为母亲过度保护而进入极限运动)”可知，过度保护的母亲让谷爱凌一开始对极限运动感兴趣。故选D项。
【25题详解】
细节理解题。由第一段中的“The older Gu hated seeing her daughter rush down California’s Tahoe ski slopes (斜坡), so she enrolled the 8-year-old in a free-skiing school, not knowing exactly what it involved. (谷妈妈讨厌看到女儿冲下加利福尼亚州的太浩滑雪场，所以她让8岁的女儿上了一所免费滑雪学校，当时她并不清楚学校的具体内容)”可知，谷爱凌妈妈为培养女儿的兴趣，让女儿去上滑雪班。故选A项。
【26题详解】
细节理解题。由第二段中的“In February, that adrenaline took her all the way to the Winter Olympics in Beijing. It’s where her mom was born and a place she visited regularly during childhood. (2月，肾上腺素让她一路赶往北京冬奥会。这是她妈妈出生的地方，也是她童年时经常去的地方)”可知，谷爱凌童年时去过北京很多次。故选C项。
【27题详解】
推理判断题。本文是一篇人物类记叙文，讲述了谷爱凌的相关事迹，她如何爱上滑雪运动及在此项运动上展现天赋，文章可能在杂志的“人物（Figure）”专栏找到。故选D项。
C
In a year that has been characterized by the restriction, there are two activities I have found myself doing more of: running and writing.
At first glance, these two passions seem to be completely opposite. When I write, I’ll retreat (缩进) into my head, where I dig memories, ideas, characters to shape into stories. When I run, I’ll fully inhabit my body. The sounds and feelings of physical effort—foot strike, heartbeat and sweat—drown out the thoughts.
Despite their differences, though, there are similarities. Running and writing are both things we do alone. They both demand at times that we dig deep, keep going and never give up. I’ve also found that running can be complementary to writing. If I’ve been sat for hours, there’s nothing more restorative than getting out for a run. Sometimes when I’m least expecting it, solutions to tricky twists present themselves and ideas drop in as if the movement of running has itself shaken things into place. On the other hand, running especially long-distances has taught me to be brave, to look inside myself to see if there’s more to give. It has also taught me patience.
I’m far from the first runner to notice that running can help the writing process. Reflecting on her writing methods in an article in The New York Times, author and lifelong runner Joyce Oates wrote: Running seems to allow me, ideally, to have an expanded consciousness in which I can imagine what I’m writing as a film or a dream. I can’t say there is an expanded consciousness when I put on my trainers after a hard day’s writing, but there’s some evidence that working up a sweat can also fire up the imagination.
It’s not clear what’s behind the creativity though increased oxygen to the brain has been shown to help cognitive processes, so there’s no reason to think it’s useless. Whatever the link between running and creativity is, next time I find myself struggling to find the right words in the face of a deadline, I’ll run for it.
28. What does running contribute to the author’s writing process
A. Exhaustion and challenges. B. Relaxation and consciousness.
C. Affection and physical benefits. D. Inspiration and creative solutions.
29. What does the underlined word “complementary” mean in paragraph 3
A. Really helpful. B. Clearly different.
C. Negatively related. D. Potentially dangerous.
30. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A. She is stressed over struggles and deadlines.
B. She challenges the claim that running improves creativity.
C. She is determined to find out why running helps creativity.
D. She will keep running in order to help her writing process.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. What I Have Learned From Running
B. Running May Fire up the Imagination
C. Differences Between Running and Writing
D. Science Says Running Is Good for One’s Health
【答案】28. D 29. A 30. D 31. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述了跑步可以有利于与激发想象力。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“If I’ve been sat for hours, there’s nothing more restorative than getting out for a run. Sometimes when I’m least expecting it, solutions to tricky twists present themselves and ideas drop in as if the movement of running has itself shaken things into place.(如果我已经坐了几个小时，没有什么比出去跑步更能让我恢复精力了。有时，当我最不期待它的时候，棘手的转折的解决方案就会出现，想法就会从天而降，就好像跑步本身就把事情摇到了合适的位置)”以及最后一段“Whatever the link between running and creativity is, next time I find myself struggling to find the right words in the face of a deadline, I’ll run for it.(不管跑步和创造力之间有什么联系，下次当我发现自己在最后期限前难以找到合适的词语时，我会跑步)”可知，跑步有助于作者的写作过程的灵感和创造性的解决方案。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词义猜测题。根据文章第三段“I’ve also found that running can be complementary to writing. If I’ve been sat for hours, there’s nothing more restorative than getting out for a run. Sometimes when I’m least expecting it, solutions to tricky twists present themselves and ideas drop in as if the movement of running has itself shaken things into place.(我还发现跑步可以对写作complementary。如果我已经坐了几个小时，没有什么比出去跑步更能让我恢复精力了。有时，当我最不期待它的时候，棘手的转折的解决方案就会出现，想法就会从天而降，就好像跑步本身就把事情摇到了合适的位置)”可知，作者发现跑步对写作有帮助。由此推知，划线单词可理解为“有帮助的”。故选A项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Whatever the link between running and creativity is, next time I find myself struggling to find the right words in the face of a deadline, I’ll run for it.(不管跑步和创造力之间有什么联系，下次当我发现自己在最后期限前难以找到合适的词语时，我会跑步)”推知，她将继续跑步，以帮助她的写作过程。故选D项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章倒数第二段“Running seems to allow me, ideally, to have an expanded consciousness in which I can imagine what I’m writing as a film or a dream. I can’t say there is an expanded consciousness when I put on my trainers after a hard day’s writing, but there’s some evidence that working up a sweat can also fire up the imagination.(理想情况下，跑步似乎让我有了一种扩展的意识，我可以把我写的东西想象成一部电影或一个梦。我不能说在辛苦写作一天后穿上运动鞋，意识会得到拓展，但有证据表明，出汗也能激发想象力)”以及最后一段“Whatever the link between running and creativity is, next time I find myself struggling to find the right words in the face of a deadline, I’ll run for it.(不管跑步和创造力之间有什么联系，下次当我发现自己在最后期限前难以找到合适的词语时，我会跑步)”可知，文章主要讲述了跑步有助于激发想象力。故选B项。
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.
B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.
D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.
33. What can we know from the scientific findings
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
C. The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.
34. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.
A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects
B. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
35. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.
【答案】32. D 33. B 34. A 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲述了一项新研究表明，学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度，让人变得更聪明，而且越早学习新语言，这种效果就越好。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density(灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes(加工) information.(根据英国一所大学的一项新研究，学习第二语言可以提高你的脑力。研究人员发现，学习其他语言会改变灰质密度。这是大脑中处理信息的区域。)”可知，一项新研究发现学习新语言可以提高脑力，改变大脑的灰质密度，接着“It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.(这与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似。)”提到学习新语言提高脑力与锻炼增加肌肉的方式相似，结合常识可知，锻炼时会通过各种运动来活动肌肉，让肌肉变得更强大，由此可推测出，提到锻炼是为了更好地说明学习新语言能够有效训练大脑，让头脑变得更灵活。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.(研究还发现，学习第二语言的人越年轻，效果就越大。)”和第四段“Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.(扫描显示，双语者大脑中的灰质密度高于没有学第二语言的人。但一个人在掌握一门新语言之前等待的时间越长，差异就越小。)”可推知，学习第二语言会增加灰质密度，而且越早学习，效果就越好，越晚学习，灰质密度的变化就越小。故选B。
34题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. ‘Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.’ he said. ‘You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.’(威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究了双语与数学技能之间的联系。他说：‘拥有两种语言可以给你打开两扇世界之窗，让大脑更加灵活。你实际上超越了语言，对不同的想法有了更好的理解。’)”和最后一段中的“The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. ‘Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,’ explained the scientists.(结果表明，他们开始学习的年龄越小越好。科学家们解释说：‘学习一门语言意味着你可以进入另一个世界。’)”可知，威尔士大学的Dylan Vaughan Jones教授研究双语与数学技能之间的联系，他认为学习语言可以更好地了解不同的想法；科学家们认为学习语言让人了解另一个世界，而不单单局限于语言方面，而且越早学习，效果就越好。由此可推测出，提早学习第二语言有助于学习其他科目。故选A。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文可知，第一段中用问题“Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language (你没有注意到，自从你开始学习一门语言以来，你变得更聪明了吗？)”引出学习语言会让人变聪明的话题，接下来具体介绍了一项新研究的发现：学习新语言会增加大脑的灰质密度（这是大脑中的信息加工区域），而且越早学习新语言，这种效果就越好。由此可推测出，本文主要讲述的是学习新语言有助于提高人的思维能力。故选C。

根据后文“bring a hat and sunscreen(带上帽子和防晒霜)”可知，后文提到带上帽子和防晒霜，说明是晴天出行。故A选项“如果天气晴朗的话”符合语境，故选A。
【40题详解】
根据后文“When hiking, you need to keep up your energy, so bring good foods. It is also very important to bring water for everyone. Water is one of the most important things you can bring.(当徒步旅行时，你需要保持能量，所以带上好的食物。给每个人带水也很重要。水是你能带的最重要的东西之一)”可知，后文提到了要带上食物，F选项中snacks对应后文中foods。故F选项“给每个人带一包零食是个好主意”符合语境，故选F。

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。
I was sure everyone in my junior-high drama class saw the paper in my hands shaking when I stood up to audition for a lead role in the annual Christmas play. I was there, not by choice, but because teacher Alice wanted each of us to try out for a part.
As a “good” student, I did what I was asked, even if it was scary. I was small for my age, wore secondhand clothes and cried easily. At school, I was often the object of jokes and laughter and had few friends. I wanted desperately to shrink back into my seat and be invisible. But there I was, on stage. Reading was, at least, something I loved. So, I read.
I finished reading and rushed back to my seat. The spell was broken. I wanted to curl up and disappear. When the teacher read the cast list and called my name, I wasn’t paying attention. No one ever chose me for anything.
“Patty,” she repeated, “you are e and get your script.”
This is impossible! How can it be With a pounding heart and cold, sweaty hands, I felt nearly dizzy, but incredibly happy. I walked up unsteadily to get the papers. On returning to my desk, I felt regretful. I should have refused. I felt as if everyone else were looking at and laughing at me. I buried my head in my arms. Gently patting my shoulder, teacher Alice said, “Be confident, Patty. You can do this. I know you can. I’ll help you.” With tears in my eyes, I raised my head and nodded firmly.
So, I practiced every day — while walking to school, at lunchtime, before bedtime, even on weekends. At first, I was worried about forgetting parts of a long monologue that took place in one scene, but I managed to memorize it. I felt more confident after that. At last, it was the day for the show.
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。
Everything went smoothly until it was my turn to give the long monologue.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fighting back tears, I continued my performance.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Para. 1:
Everything went smoothly until it was my turn to give the long monologue. Out of nervousness, I forgot the first word. I stood there, my mind blank. A loud noise sounded from the audience, followed by loud laughter. I became the target of laughter again. I lowered my head, with tears welling in my eyes. I was about to dash down the stage when suddenly I felt gentle hands on my arms. I looked up to see teacher Alice’s concerned face. She gave me an encouraging look.
Para. 2:
Fighting back tears, I continued my performance. To my great surprise, the first word of the long monologue came to my mind. I spoke loudly and clearly without any mistake. I finished the show with no further interruptions. The audience even applauded in the middle of the play after my monologue! I was flying, dancing, filled with the greatest joy you could imagine. I remember forever that I was once a fallen star who managed to rise and sparkle, through my own efforts, with the loving guidance of a great teacher.

The older Gu hated seeing her daughter rush down California’s Tahoe ski slopes (斜坡), so she enrolled the 8-year-old in a free-skiing school, not knowing exactly what it involved. However, she was confident that anything would be safer than racing. Little did she know that she would one day watch her child perform death-defying flips, spins and jumps instead. And she never thought her daughter could be one of the sport’s top stars, with golds at X Games.
“I’ve probably been an adrenaline (肾上腺素) addict from day one,” Eileen Gu said. In February, that adrenaline took her all the way to the Winter Olympics in Beijing. It’s where her mom was born and a place she visited regularly during childhood. These are Gu’s first Games. She is just 18 years old.
In China, she is nicknamed “Snow Princess”. She is also academically gifted, graduating from high school a year early despite her punishing training schedule, and scoring 1,580 on her SAT and getting accepted into Stanford for 2022.
It’s a rapid rise that she hopes will inspire others. A speech, which she made to her seventh-grade class, urged her peers to “show the boys that girls are just as powerful as they are”. Naturally, you don’t soar to such heights without getting hurt. After cracking a finger and tearing a ligament (韧带) in her thumb, she was expected to miss last year’s world championships in Aspen. Gu certainly walks the talk: She instead chose to compete without ski poles and took home two gold medals and a bronze.
“Honestly, I’m a little nervous about getting the poles back, because I’ve gotten used to skiing without them.” she said after the event.

In a year that has been characterized by the restriction, there are two activities I have found myself doing more of: running and writing.
At first glance, these two passions seem to be completely opposite. When I write, I’ll retreat (缩进) into my head, where I dig memories, ideas, characters to shape into stories. When I run, I’ll fully inhabit my body. The sounds and feelings of physical effort—foot strike, heartbeat and sweat—drown out the thoughts.
Despite their differences, though, there are similarities. Running and writing are both things we do alone. They both demand at times that we dig deep, keep going and never give up. I’ve also found that running can be complementary to writing. If I’ve been sat for hours, there’s nothing more restorative than getting out for a run. Sometimes when I’m least expecting it, solutions to tricky twists present themselves and ideas drop in as if the movement of running has itself shaken things into place. On the other hand, running especially long-distances has taught me to be brave, to look inside myself to see if there’s more to give. It has also taught me patience.
I’m far from the first runner to notice that running can help the writing process. Reflecting on her writing methods in an article in The New York Times, author and lifelong runner Joyce Oates wrote: Running seems to allow me, ideally, to have an expanded consciousness in which I can imagine what I’m writing as a film or a dream. I can’t say there is an expanded consciousness when I put on my trainers after a hard day’s writing, but there’s some evidence that working up a sweat can also fire up the imagination.
It’s not clear what’s behind the creativity though increased oxygen to the brain has been shown to help cognitive processes, so there’s no reason to think it’s useless. Whatever the link between running and creativity is, next time I find myself struggling to find the right words in the face of a deadline, I’ll run for it.
28. What does running contribute to the author’s writing process
A. Exhaustion and challenges. B. Relaxation and consciousness.
C. Affection and physical benefits. D. Inspiration and creative solutions.
29. What does the underlined word “complementary” mean in paragraph 3
A. Really helpful. B. Clearly different.
C. Negatively related. D. Potentially dangerous.
30. What can we learn about the author from the last paragraph
A. She is stressed over struggles and deadlines.
B. She challenges the claim that running improves creativity.
C. She is determined to find out why running helps creativity.
D. She will keep running in order to help her writing process.
31. Which of the following can be the best title for the text
A. What I Have Learned From Running
B. Running May Fire up the Imagination
C. Differences Between Running and Writing
D Science Says Running Is Good for One’s Health
D
If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language
According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter density (灰质密度). This is the area of the brain which processes (加工) information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the younger people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.
A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London (UCL), took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.
Scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.
“Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.
Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible.” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”
The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learnt English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.
32. Why does the writer mention “exercise” in the second paragraph
A. To make people believe language learning is helpful for their health.
B. To suggest language learning is also a kind of physical labor.
C. To prove that one needs more resources when he/she is learning a language.
D. To tell us that learning a language can train your brain effectively.
33. What can we know from the scientific findings
A. The ability of learning a second language is changing all the time.
B. The earlier you start to learn a second language, the higher the grey matter density is.
C The experience of learning a second language has a bad effect on brain.
D. There is no difference between a later second language learner and one without a second language.
34. In the last two paragraphs, the author tries to tell us that ________.
A. early learning of a second language helps in studying other subjects
B. learning a second language is the same as studying maths
C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language
D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language
35. What is mainly talked about in this passage
A. Language learning is closely connected with maths study.
B. Man has a great ability of learning a second language.
C. Studying a foreign language can improve man’s ability to think.
D. The study done by the researchers from UCL is failed finally.

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。
I was sure everyone in my junior-high drama class saw the paper in my hands shaking when I stood up to audition for a lead role in the annual Christmas play. I was there, not by choice, but because teacher Alice wanted each of us to try out for a part.
As a “good” student, I did what I was asked, even if it was scary. I was small for my age, wore secondhand clothes and cried easily. At school, I was often the object of jokes and laughter and had few friends. I wanted desperately to shrink back into my seat and be invisible. But there I was, on stage. Reading was, at least, something I loved. So, I read.
I finished reading and rushed back to my seat. The spell was broken. I wanted to curl up and disappear. When the teacher read the cast list and called my name, I wasn’t paying attention. No one ever chose me for anything.
“Patty,” she repeated, “you are e and get your script.”
This is impossible! How can it be With a pounding heart and cold, sweaty hands, I felt nearly dizzy, but incredibly happy. I walked up unsteadily to get the papers. On returning to my desk, I felt regretful. I should have refused. I felt as if everyone else were looking at and laughing at me. I buried my head in my arms. Gently patting my shoulder, teacher Alice said, “Be confident, Patty. You can do this. I know you can. I’ll help you.” With tears in my eyes, I raised my head and nodded firmly.
So, I practiced every day — while walking to school, at lunchtime, before bedtime, even on weekends. At first, I was worried about forgetting parts of a long monologue that took place in one scene, but I managed to memorize it. I felt more confident after that. At last, it was the day for the show.
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。
Everything went smoothly until it was my turn to give the long monologue.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Fighting back tears, I continued my performance.
