A
Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.
1. On which of the following can trains pass
A. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
B. Rio-Niterói Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge.
D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.
2. What is special about the Hartland Covered Bridge
A. It is a busy bridge. B. It was built in 1980.
C. It has a roof. D. It is a wooden bridge.
3. Where can you find the longest bridge over water
A. In America. B. In Brazil. C. In Canada. D. In China.

I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
4. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
5. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
6. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
7. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
【答案】4. B 5. D 6. C 7. A
【解析】

【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.(因此，当波士顿的新闻电台WBUR给我一份大学毕业后的工作时，我欣然接受了这个机会。一路走来，我发现我真的很喜欢这份工作。我成了WBUR的新闻记者。我小时候在马戏团学到的灵活性和适应能力帮助我在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作——无论是波士顿郊外的破坏性龙卷风，还是2013年波士顿马拉松爆炸事件。)”可知，作者在WBUR工作时，能够在紧张的情况下自然而轻松地完成工作，由此可知，这份工作对作者而言如鱼得水，非常轻松。故选D。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“For me, the circus symbolizes who I am.(对我来说，马戏团象征着我是谁。)”以及最后一段“And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.(最重要的是，对我来说，这意味着回家。)”可知，对于作者而言，马戏团已经是他身份的一部分，象征着作者的身份。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第三段“But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free.

As you walk around the UK in March, you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil (水仙花) on their coats. The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities: Marie Curie.
Marie Curie tries to ensure everyone who has cancer is cared for in the best possible way. It also helps fun d research into possible cures. Founded in 1948, it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie, a famous scientist. She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity (放射性). Unfortunately, over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934. Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields. Because of her pioneering work, the charity decided on the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a symbol, hoping cancer patients could recover from sickness.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has contributed to the charity, but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it. The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of 1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off. But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
8. Why do some British people wear a daffodil
A. To advocate a charity. B. To celebrate patients’ recovery.
C. To remember a scientist. D. To offer hope to cancer patients.
9. What makes the charity use the name of Marie Curie
A. Marie Curie’s support for the charity. B. Marie Curie’s achievement in cancer treatment.
C. Marie Curie’s study on radioactivity. D. Marie Curie’s concern over cancer patients.
10. What does the daffodil imply according to the charity
A. Bringing life to other people. B. Returning of flowering plants.
C. Contributing money to the charity. D. Encouraging patients to cheer up.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. A change in a British custom. B. The effect of a campaign.
C. A special activity held in March. D. The time to wear daffodils.
【答案】8. A 9. C 10. A 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。本文主要介绍了在英国人们会佩戴水仙花来支持Marie Curie这一慈善机构。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段第二句“The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities: the Marie Curie Cancer Care.(英国人佩戴这些黄色的花是为了表示他们支持这个国家最著名的慈善机构之一：玛丽·居里癌症护理中心)”可知，英国人戴水仙花代表支持一个慈善机构。故选A。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中的“She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity (放射性).(她用新发现的元素做实验，创立了放射性理论)”和“Because of her pioneering work, the charity decided on the name of Marie Curie.(由于她的开创性工作，慈善机构决定以玛丽居里的名字命名)”可知，居里夫人关于放射性的研究推动了化学物质在癌症治疗方面的运用，因此该慈善机构选用了居里夫人的名字。故选C。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中的“The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a symbol, hoping cancer patients could recover from sickness.(在英国，水仙花是最早在春天开花的植物之一，这标志着开花植物在冬季后回归生态系统。正因为如此，该慈善机构使用水仙花作为象征，希望癌症患者能够康复。)”可知，水仙花象征着冬去春来，生命的复苏。由此推知，该慈善机把水仙花作为象征，是因为此花给他人带来生命的象征。故选A。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the“Great Daffodil Appeal”kicks off. But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.(该慈善机构鼓励人们在三月初“水仙花大游行”开始时开始佩戴水仙花。但这并不意味着你只能在三月份穿。人们有时会看到一年四季都在衣服上挂着水仙花走来走去.)”可知，最后一段主要讨论了人们佩戴水仙花的时间。故选D。
D
One of the ocean’s noisiest creatures is smaller than you’d expect — snapping shrimp (鼓虾). They create a widespread background noise in the underwater environment, which helps them communicate, protect their homes and hunt for food. When enough shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can be deafening.
Aran Mooney, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, suggested that with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder than before. This could raise the background noise of the global ocean. “They make a sound by closing a claw so fast. This makes a bubble (泡泡) and when that bubble bursts, it makes that snapping sound,” said Mooney.
Mooney discovered a strong relationship between warmer waters and more frequent snapping shrimp sounds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. “As the temperature rises, the snap rate increases,” he said. This makes sense because shrimp are essentially cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature and activity levels are largely controlled by their living environment. “We can actually show in the field that not only do snap rates increase, but the sound levels increase as well.”
How the louder snapping shrimp would affect or benefit the surroundings remained to be seen. “We know that fish use sound to communicate,” Mooney said. “If the environment gets noisy, it has the possibility to influence that communication. That’s something we have to follow up on.” There is also the possibility that the change of snapping shrimp affects machines humans use to discover mines, which could lead to unpleasant results.
12. What can we know about the snapping shrimp’s sound
A. It aims to protect the shrimp. B. It is important to the ecosystem.
C. It has different uses for the shrimp. D. It is hard to be discovered by other creatures.
13. How does Mooney do the experiment
A. By observing snapping shrimp in the field. B. By recording the snap rates in the lab.
C. By analyzing the way shrimp make noise. D. By comparing shrimp’s sound in different places.
14. What might Mooney research next
A. Other uses of shrimp’s sound. B. Influences of the noise on other creatures.
C. Means of communication among fish. D. Methods of stopping shrimp’s snapping.
15. Which of the following could be the best title for the text
A. Underwater World Is No Longer Quiet B. Small Animals Make a Big Difference
C. Warming Oceans Are Getting Louder D. Snapping Shrimp’s Noise Speaks Much
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。鼓虾是一种体形很小却能发出很大声音的海洋生物，随着气候变暖，海水升温，鼓虾发出的声音也日益增大，这可能会影响其他海洋生物和人类。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中的“They create a widespread background noise in the underwater environment, which helps them communicate, protect their homes and hunt for food. When enough shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can be deafening. (它们在水下环境中产生广泛的背景噪音，这有助于它们交流、保护家园和寻找食物。当足够多的虾同时发出噼啪声，噪音可以震耳欲聋)”可知，鼓虾发出的声音有助于它们交流、保卫家园和寻找食物，即有多种作用。故选C。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“Mooney discovered a strong relationship between warmer waters and more frequent snapping shrimp sounds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. (Mooney在实验室的水箱里对虾进行实验，并在不同的水温下聆听虾的声音，他发现温暖的海水和更频繁的鼓虾声之间存在着密切的联系)”可知，Mooney在实验室的水箱中用鼓虾做实验，并听各种水温里的鼓虾发出的声音。由此推知，他通过对比在不同地点鼓虾发出的声音进行实验。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中的““We know that fish use sound to communicate,” Mooney said. “If the environment gets noisy, it has the possibility to influence that communication. That’s something we have to follow up on.” (“我们知道鱼是用声音来交流的，”Mooney说。“如果环境变得嘈杂，就有可能影响交流。我们必须对此进行跟进。”)”可知，Mooney认为应跟进这种噪音对鱼类交流的影响。由此推断，Mooney接下来可能会研究鼓虾发出的声音对其他生物的影响。故选B。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第二段中的“with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder than before (随着海洋温度的升高，鼓虾的声音会比以前更频繁、更响亮)”可知，文章主要介绍了随着气候变暖，海水温度升高，鼓虾发出的声音也日益增大，发出声音的频率也增加，使海洋环境变得嘈杂，这可能会影响其他海洋生物和人类。C项“变暖的海洋变得更吵闹”形象贴切地总结了文章内容，最适合作为标题。故选C。

【导语】这是一篇应用文。文章介绍了面对失败我们应该做什么。
【16题详解】
根据前文“Most people are afraid of failure. The truth is that everyone, including all successful people, has ever failed time after time and will fail again.(大多数人都害怕失败。事实是，每个人，包括所有成功人士，都曾经失败过一次又一次，而且还会再次失败。)”和小标题“Learn from it(从中学习)”可知，此处是指不要害怕失败，所以选项F“所以不要害怕失败，这是你通往成功之路的一部分。”切合文意。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据后文“Failure makes us rethink, reconsider, and find new ways and strategies to achieve our goals. Through failure, we will get to know ourselves better.(失败让我们重新思考，重新考虑，寻找新的方法和策略来实现我们的目标。通过失败，我们会更好地了解自己。)”可知，此处是介绍失败的价值，所以选项A“失败是有价值的。”切合文意。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据小标题“Stop fearing it(停止恐惧它)”可知，此处是指不要恐惧失败，所以选项E“为了达到你的最佳状态，你不必害怕失败。”切合文意。故选E。

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Thanksgiving Day was approaching, my primary school decided to celebrate it by presenting shows like dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, the schoolmaster called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancie, could you write a poem for the festival and read it during the coming event ” “Sure!” Excitedly, I had loved poetry since my fifth grade. I was fascinated by poems for it is an amazing thing to convey feelings through them. When my first poem was published, I was known to my friends and teachers as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon, feeling quite happy. Then for weeks, I worked or my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader! No one would take my work seriously What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, hoping I could disappear. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck!” my little brother's voice rose as he took his seat a few rows down with his class. I nodded, struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded, the crowd quieted, and the schoolmaster took the stage to introduce the list of the shows. Mine was at the end of the list. So I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher brought me downstairs next to the stage. My mind was blank. Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped over something. And I stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.
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。
I was about to run away when my teacher came up to me.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】I was about to run away when my teacher came up tome. He joked I fell due to my eagerness to bow to the audience. His humor helped remove the embarrassment. Then he motivated the audience to give me encouragement. Feeling less nervous I took the microphone and cleared my voice before reading the title. Surprisingly, my voice sounded clear and loud. The hall silenced. I continued reading, with words coming out in the right order and lines flowing together appropriately.
When I finished my reading, the hall was silent at first. I swallowed hard. Maybe no one loved my poem. Then out of the silence there was clapping and cheering. I dared to look for my parents in the sea of faces, and found my mother wiping away tears and my father smiling. With a light-headed feeling and a happy smile, I bowed slightly and walked off the stage. I greeted each person I met when going back to my seat, with relief and gratefulness spreading warmly through my body.

Over the last century, engineers all over the world have spared no effort to achieve the unachievable in bridge design.
Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge
No bridge is as long as the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge in the world. The 164.8-kilometre-long bridge built in 2011 in China serves as part of the Beijing-Shanghai High-Speed Railway. The trip from Ningbo to Jiaxing that previously took 4.5 hours has been reduced to two, thanks to this bridge.
Rio-Niterói Bridge
Completed in 1974, the Rio-Niterói Bridge in Brazil is the second-longest bridge in all of Latin America connecting the cities of Rio and Niterói across the Guanabara Bay. The Rio-Niterói Bridge is technically known as a “box-girder (箱形梁)” bridge, made of special concrete. It receives an astonishing 140,000 (or more) vehicles per day.
Hartland Covered Bridge
The Hartland Covered Bridge is the world’s longest covered bridge. The 1,282-foot-long bridge was opened in 1901 and has been on Canada’s list of National Historic Sites since 1980. Although it was originally built without a roof, the bridge was capped with wooden materials during the repairs in 1921.
Jiaozhou Bay Bridge
The newly-built Jiaozhou Bay Bridge in China was named “world’s longest bridge over water” by Guinness Book of World Records in 2011, a title previously held by the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway. The dispute was settled when the title of “longest continuous bridge over water” was given to the causeway, with the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge receiving the title of “longest bridge over water”.
1. On which of the following can trains pass
A. Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
B Rio-Niterói Bridge.
C. Hartland Covered Bridge.
D. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge.

I was 6 years old when my father told me we were leaving the Big Apple Circus (马戏团). Until that point, I had spent most of my life on the circus lot, playing with the other circus kids. The circus, by its nature, is one that has a loose structure. So the early years after my leaving the circus to sit in a classroom all day felt more like a prison.
But years later, I found areas that interested me. I took the skills I had learned from being onstage and applied them to broadcasting. And so when Boston’s news station WBUR offered me a job out of college, I jumped at the chance. Along the way, I found I really enjoyed the work. I became WBUR’s news reporter. The flexibility and adaptability I’d learned in the circus as a child helped me do my job naturally and easily in a stressful situation — whether it was a destructive tornado outside Boston, or the Boston Marathon bombings of 2013.
But then a serious infectious disease appeared. Suddenly, for the first time in my adult life, I went for a year without doing any shows. But it became clear to me that performing was what I truly wanted. For me, the circus symbolizes who I am. And stages have always been where I’ve felt the most free. Some people get nervous before they go onstage, but by assuming (扮演) the character of Jacques ze Whipper and drawing a stupid moustache on my face, all my social anxiety disappears.
Circus performances go beyond age, socioeconomic status (地位), and even language. It’s the type of performance where you can go anywhere in the world to entertain anyone — help anyone forget their troubles for 5, 10, and even 30 minutes. And most importantly, for me, it means coming home.
4. How did the author feel in the early years of school
A. Curious. B. Unfree. C. Loose. D. Impatient.
5. What do we know about the author’s job at WBUR
A. He did it for his father. B. He did it against his will.
C. He risked his neck doing it. D. He took to it like a duck to water.
6. What does the circus probably mean to the author
A. A means of living. B. A chance to go anywhere.
C. A part of his identity. D. A way to forget his troubles.
7. Why does the author write the text
A. To express his love for circus performances.
B. To stress the value of performing.
C. To share his personal experiences in a circus.
D. To discuss the problem of choosing a job.
C
As you walk around the UK in March, you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil (水仙花) on their coats. The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities: Marie Curie.
Marie Curie tries to ensure everyone who has cancer is cared for in the best possible way. It also helps fun d research into possible cures. Founded in 1948, it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie, a famous scientist. She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity (放射性). Unfortunately, over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934. Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields. Because of her pioneering work, the charity decided on the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a symbol, hoping cancer patients could recover from sickness.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has contributed to the charity, but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it. The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of 1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off. But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
8. Why do some British people wear a daffodil
A. To advocate a charity. B. To celebrate patients’ recovery.
C. To remember a scientist. D. To offer hope to cancer patients.
9. What makes the charity use the name of Marie Curie
A. Marie Curie’s support for the charity. B. Marie Curie’s achievement in cancer treatment.
C. Marie Curie’s study on radioactivity. D. Marie Curie’s concern over cancer patients.
10. What does the daffodil imply according to the charity
A. Bringing life to other people. B. Returning of flowering plants.
C. Contributing money to the charity. D. Encouraging patients to cheer up.
11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about
A. A change in a British custom. B. The effect of a campaign.
C. A special activity held in March. D. The time to wear daffodils.
D
One of the ocean’s noisiest creatures is smaller than you’d expect — snapping shrimp (鼓虾). They create a widespread background noise in the underwater environment, which helps them communicate, protect their homes and hunt for food. When enough shrimp snap (发出噼啪声) at once, the noise can be deafening.
Aran Mooney, a biologist at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, suggested that with increased ocean temperatures, snapping shrimp will snap more often and louder than before. This could raise the background noise of the global ocean. “They make a sound by closing a claw so fast. This makes a bubble (泡泡) and when that bubble bursts, it makes that snapping sound,” said Mooney.
Mooney discovered a strong relationship between warmer waters and more frequent snapping shrimp sounds after experimenting with the shrimp in tanks in the lab and by listening to the shrimp in the ocean at various water temperatures. “As the temperature rises, the snap rate increases,” he said. This makes sense because shrimp are essentially cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature and activity levels are largely controlled by their living environment. “We can actually show in the field that not only do snap rates increase, but the sound levels increase as well.”
How the louder snapping shrimp would affect or benefit the surroundings remained to be seen. “We know that fish use sound to communicate,” Mooney said. “If the environment gets noisy, it has the possibility to influence that communication. That’s something we have to follow up on.” There is also the possibility that the change of snapping shrimp affects machines humans use to discover mines, which could lead to unpleasant results.
12 What can we know about the snapping shrimp’s sound
A. It aims to protect the shrimp. B. It is important to the ecosystem.
C. It has different uses for the shrimp. D. It is hard to be discovered by other creatures.

47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
When Thanksgiving Day was approaching, my primary school decided to celebrate it by presenting shows like dancing and singing that all students could join in. Parents would also be invited to watch.
One afternoon, the schoolmaster called me into his office. He said with a smile, “Nancie, could you write a poem for the festival and read it during the coming event ” “Sure!” Excitedly, I had loved poetry since my fifth grade. I was fascinated by poems for it is an amazing thing to convey feelings through them. When my first poem was published, I was known to my friends and teachers as the class poet.
I left the schoolmaster’s office that afternoon, feeling quite happy. Then for weeks, I worked or my poem, carefully designing the content, structure and sound. I practiced reciting it aloud every day.
When the evening for the event finally came, I was ready. Well, I was ready until I looked around and realized how many people there were in the school hall. How could I present my poem in front of more than 400 people I was just a seventh-grader! No one would take my work seriously What was worse, I had never spoken in front of a huge crowd before. I sat in my chair, hoping I could disappear. Maybe they would forget I was supposed to read.
“Hey, Nancie, I saw your name in the program. Good luck!” my little brother's voice rose as he took his seat a few rows down with his class. I nodded, struggling to keep calm. I knew my parents were somewhere in the hall. Before long, the lights faded, the crowd quieted, and the schoolmaster took the stage to introduce the list of the shows. Mine was at the end of the list. So I had to sit through an hour of absolute anxiety.
It wasn’t until the students from the fourth grade were singing that my teacher brought me downstairs next to the stage. My mind was blank. Then suddenly, I was on stage with the bright white lights blinding my view of the audience. When I walked to the microphone in the center of the stage, I somehow tripped over something. And I stupidly fell down. All of the kids burst into laughter.
