Supermarkets, conservationists and farming groups have shown their concerns about pollution of the Wye, one of the UK’s longest rivers. “The pollution pressures upon the Wye are unacceptable and there was strong enthusiasm for cooperative action to resolve the problem.” said Craig Bennett, head of the Wildlife Trusts.
The pollution referred largely to runoff of the nutrient-rich waste matter produced by the 20 million-plus chickens near the river.
Bennett said: “We discussed how, if the Wye were a school or a hospital, we would be calling for it to be placed into ‘special measures’. We agreed the same level of urgency must be applied.”
Increasing concern led the local government to hold a discussion in May, when they promised to publish a plan for the Wye by the autumn. However, the local government’s push on the river was marred in June when the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs published a Wye video showing sea otters (海獺) rather than the river’s local European otters. The pollution of the Wye was not mentioned at all.
In July Bennett hosted a Wye round table in Powys, Wales, bringing together local groups, the Environment Agency, the chicken produce Avara Foodsr, regional branches of the National Farmers Union and local authorities. They agreed on a plan that included cutting the nutrient pollution “through a reduction in animal numbers” and other measures.
Bennett also wrote to Julie James, the Welsh Climate Change Minister, who said, “I share your concern for the health of the River Wye and other Welsh rivers.”
A supermarket chain said they are committed to protecting the river and engaging with their chicken suppliers to tackle water pollution. They have detailed management plans to make sure their suppliers are farming with care for the environment. A government spokesman said: “We are offering a wide range of support to farmers to speed up their transition to more sustainable practices and help protect this important site.”
24．Why does Bennett compare the Wye with a school or a hospital
A．To call for urgent measures. B．To stress the impacts of the river.
C．To show the importance of the river. D．To urge people to protect the environment.
25．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “marred” in Paragraph 4
A．Destroyed. B．Boosted C．Perfected. D．Emphasized.
26．What is agreed on at the round table
A．Making a careful plan. B．Reducing animal numbers.
C．Arousing people’s awareness. D．Asking the government for money.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Sea Otters Are under Attack for Possible Pollution
B．Cooperated Efforts Are Made to Protect the Wye
C．People Are Having More Environmental Awareness
D．More Measures Should Be Taken to Prevent Air Pollution
C
I observed one child hugging her beloved toy dog while reading a book to her friend — both she and her dog were actively turning the pages — and with every page turned, she looked down at her dog, lovingly. As a longtime educator of toddlers and a current PhD student studying transitional phenomena and object relations, I have had the pleasure to witness the presence of transitional objects in the kindergarten.
The term transitional object, coined in 195l by D．W. Winnicott, refers to any material to which a child attaches a special value and by means of which the child is able to make the necessary shift from the earliest oral relationship with mother to genuine object-relationships. It is typically something soft, such as a blanket or a soft toy, that is similar to the mother’s warm arms.
It may also be the subject of the child’s fantasies, for example where a teddy bear is spoken to, hugged, punished, etc. It thus becomes a tool for practicing interaction with the external world. Moreover, the transitional object supports the development of the self, as it is used to represent ‘not me’. By looking at the object, the child knows that it is not the object and hence something individual and separate. in this way, it helps the child develop its sense of ‘other’ things.
If the object is denied in any way, attachment difficulties may arise later in life. The object allows for and invites emotional well-being, and without such an object, true feelings may be hidden or dismissed as the child has no other means to cope with and comprehend the world. Worse still, the object is intimately bound up with the identity of the child. Taking away the object is also taking away something of the child itself.
Winnicott noted that transitional objects continue through the course of our lives, as “sacred monuments” which pull us back to “a place and time of great comfort and memory”. The attachment to certain objects like self photographs defines both memorials, and more importantly a stale of connection and presence in the world.
28．How does the writer introduce the topic
A．By sharing feelings. B．By illustrating a term.
C．By relating an experience. D．By providing background information.
29．What does the term “transitional objects” refer to according to the passage
A．Tools used by educators to aid teaching.
B．Items to which a child becomes deeply attached.
C．Toys designed to amuse kids in the kindergarten.
D．Expensive personal possessions gifted by parents.
30．What might happen if a child’s transitional object is denied
A．Ho might lose his imagination.
B．He may become more independent.
C．He is less likely to share personal feelings.
D．He probably distances himself from his mother.
31．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To introduce how to develop a sense of ‘other’ things.
B．To do research on the psychological development of kids.
C．To show how to enhance the bond between mother and child.
D．To stress the importance of transitional objects to children.
D
In 1986, King Charles suggested talking to plants, a thought initially mocked but now supported by evidence that plants can detect, react to, and potentially produce sound.
Since plants have been evolving alongside the insects for hundreds of millions of years, Heidi Appel, a botanist and Reginald Cocroft, an entomologist wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by insects. The researchers recorded the vibrations (声音震动) from caterpillars (毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. Then the plants were exposed to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. The research may have practical consequences, such as using drones armed with speakers to warn crops of pest threats, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
Further studies by ecologist Monica Gagliano reveal that plants, like pea plants, can “hear” water through sound, with roots responding to water-related vibrations even when the water is inaccessible. This finding could have implications for preventing damage to sewer (下水道) systems caused by plant roots. The assumption had been that it was leaks that attracted the roots. The solution, she says, might be to invest in pipes that are silent as water runs through them.
Additionally, the study by the team at Tel Aviv University revealed that plants under stress, due to factors like insufficient water or physical damage, make high-frequency sounds, which can be detected even in noisy environments. This opens possibilities for using microphones to monitor plant health in agriculture, potentially aiding farmers in identifying and addressing crop issues.
Despite some questions remaining to be solved, these fascinating discoveries cast new light on plants’ ability to perceive and respond to sounds in their environment. Plants live in a world full of sounds due to human civilization, and it is worth investigating this interesting aspect. Perhaps researchers might even seek funding from King Charles.
32．What was the original reaction to King Charles’s suggestion
A．Ambiguous. B．Favourable.
C．Indifferent. D．Opposed.
33．What practical result may the research by Heidi and Reginald lead to
A．Introducing drones with speakers to farmers.
B．Applying chemicals to enhance plant growth.
C．Stimulating plants to release anti-pest chemicals.
D．Developing new types of protective pesticides.
34．Why is employing silent pipes suggested
A．To reduce noise pollution.
B．To protect sewer systems.
C．To improve water transportation.
D．To attract plant roots to accessible water.
35．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
P: paragraph
A． B．
C． D．

By being selective about commitments, young adults can arrange their time and energy wisely. Saying no to non-essential activities frees up time for important tasks. 39 .
In the pursuit of personal success, young adults often find themselves caught up in a series of responsibilities and commitments. However, it’s essential for them to recognize that life shouldn’t be like this. Self-care plays a vital role in time management. 40 By ensuring they maintain a healthy work-life balance, young adults can recharge their energy levels, improve focus, and increase productivity. That way, they perfect time usage and pave the way for success.
A．That actually prevents over-commitment.
B．One should constantly review how time is spent.

I remember the day as clear as glass. I was in 6th grade and my teacher had just announced it was a class break, a time we were allowed to eat snacks and move around the classroom. But on that day, I reached a breaking point.
My friend sat across from me. Two classmates who were attention seekers were making fun of him again. They did something mean to him every day: stealing his school supplies, calling his sister ugly, or laughing at his big head. On this day, they were singing a song about him, “Chicken, chicken Josh.” They sang endlessly and cruelly. Those words were like a bite of hot pepper to my friend, who turned red with anger and embarrassment, while tears of frustration dropped from his eyes. I could see how hopeless he felt.
Normally, I would just sit and watch it all. I was very shy. I rarely spoke during breaks or raised my hand in class. I was so shy, in fact, that my teacher made me a chart to tick every time I raised my hand. She said I’d receive a prize if I filled it up. But I never did. It didn’t help with my shyness; it just made me more self-conscious. But on this particular day, I took a stand. I’d had enough. I stood up and shouted, “Leave him alone!” Silence broke out, all eyes in the room fell on me. But the silence was short-lived as everyone went back to enjoying their break. For the rest of the day, every time the bullies would laugh at my friend during class, I would scream, “Stop troubling him,” or, “It wouldn’t hurt to be nice.”
But these words didn’t help. In fact, it made the situation worse: I too became a victim. From that afternoon on, the two bullies began to make up songs about me. They chanted, pronouncing my name in a different dialect to show I was different from them. This mocking and disrespect upset me a lot. I felt helpless.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；

Supermarkets, conservationists and farming groups have shown their concerns about pollution of the Wye, one of the UK’s longest rivers. “The pollution pressures upon the Wye are unacceptable and there was strong enthusiasm for cooperative action to resolve the problem.” said Craig Bennett, head of the Wildlife Trusts.
The pollution referred largely to runoff of the nutrient-rich waste matter produced by the 20 million-plus chickens near the river.
Bennett said: “We discussed how, if the Wye were a school or a hospital, we would be calling for it to be placed into ‘special measures’. We agreed the same level of urgency must be applied.”
Increasing concern led the local government to hold a discussion in May, when they promised to publish a plan for the Wye by the autumn. However, the local government’s push on the river was marred in June when the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs published a Wye video showing sea otters (海獺) rather than the river’s local European otters. The pollution of the Wye was not mentioned at all.
In July Bennett hosted a Wye round table in Powys, Wales, bringing together local groups, the Environment Agency, the chicken produce Avara Foodsr, regional branches of the National Farmers Union and local authorities. They agreed on a plan that included cutting the nutrient pollution “through a reduction in animal numbers” and other measures.
Bennett also wrote to Julie James, the Welsh Climate Change Minister, who said, “I share your concern for the health of the River Wye and other Welsh rivers.”
A supermarket chain said they are committed to protecting the river and engaging with their chicken suppliers to tackle water pollution. They have detailed management plans to make sure their suppliers are farming with care for the environment. A government spokesman said: “We are offering a wide range of support to farmers to speed up their transition to more sustainable practices and help protect this important site.”
24．Why does Bennett compare the Wye with a school or a hospital
A．To call for urgent measures. B．To stress the impacts of the river.
C．To show the importance of the river. D．To urge people to protect the environment.
25．What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “marred” in Paragraph 4
A．Destroyed. B．Boosted C．Perfected. D．Emphasized.
26．What is agreed on at the round table
A．Making a careful plan. B．Reducing animal numbers.
C．Arousing people’s awareness. D．Asking the government for money.
27．What can be the best title for the text
A．Sea Otters Are under Attack for Possible Pollution
B．Cooperated Efforts Are Made to Protect the Wye
C．People Are Having More Environmental Awareness
D．More Measures Should Be Taken to Prevent Air Pollution
【答案】24．A 25．A 26．B 27．B
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了英国瓦伊河污染得到重视并准备治理的消息。
24．推理判断题。根据第三段“Bennett said: “We discussed how, if the Wye were a school or a hospital, we would be calling for it to be placed into ‘special measures’. We agreed the same level of urgency must be applied.”(Bennett说：“我们讨论过，如果怀伊是一所学校或医院，我们将如何要求将其置于‘特殊措施’之中。我们一致认为，必须采取同样的紧急措施。”)”可推知，Bennett觉得应该把瓦伊河的污染看作和学校或医院受到污染一样重要，必须采取同样程度的紧急措施。故选A。
25．词义猜测题。根据划线词后文“in June when the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs published a Wye video showing sea otters (海獺) rather than the river’s local European otters(当时环境、食品和农村事务部公布了一段怀伊的视频，视频中显示的是海獭，而不是这条河上当地的欧洲水獭)”可知，海獭事件的出现使得政府解决瓦伊河污染的推进工作受到了阻碍。故划线词意思是“破坏”。故选A。
26．细节理解题。根据第五段“They agreed on a plan that included cutting the nutrient pollution “through a reduction in animal numbers” and other measures.(他们达成了一项计划，包括“通过减少动物数量”和其他措施来减少营养污染)”可知，在圆桌会议上达成了减少动物数量的协议。故选B。
27．主旨大意题。根据第一段“Supermarkets, conservationists and farming groups have shown their concerns about pollution of the Wye, one of the UK’s longest rivers. “The pollution pressures upon the Wye are unacceptable and there was strong enthusiasm for cooperative action to resolve the problem.” said Craig Bennett, head of the Wildlife Trusts.(超市、自然资源保护主义者和农业组织对英国最长的河流之一怀伊河的污染表示担忧。“怀伊河的污染压力是不可接受的，大家都非常希望采取合作行动来解决问题。野生动物信托基金会负责人克雷格·贝内特说)”结合文章报道了英国瓦伊河遭到污染，政府以及连锁店积极想办法进行治理的事情，因此判断B项“共同努力保护河流”可以作为最佳标题。故选B。
C
I observed one child hugging her beloved toy dog while reading a book to her friend — both she and her dog were actively turning the pages — and with every page turned, she looked down at her dog, lovingly. As a longtime educator of toddlers and a current PhD student studying transitional phenomena and object relations, I have had the pleasure to witness the presence of transitional objects in the kindergarten.
The term transitional object, coined in 195l by D．W. Winnicott, refers to any material to which a child attaches a special value and by means of which the child is able to make the necessary shift from the earliest oral relationship with mother to genuine object-relationships. It is typically something soft, such as a blanket or a soft toy, that is similar to the mother’s warm arms.
It may also be the subject of the child’s fantasies, for example where a teddy bear is spoken to, hugged, punished, etc. It thus becomes a tool for practicing interaction with the external world. Moreover, the transitional object supports the development of the self, as it is used to represent ‘not me’. By looking at the object, the child knows that it is not the object and hence something individual and separate. in this way, it helps the child develop its sense of ‘other’ things.
If the object is denied in any way, attachment difficulties may arise later in life. The object allows for and invites emotional well-being, and without such an object, true feelings may be hidden or dismissed as the child has no other means to cope with and comprehend the world. Worse still, the object is intimately bound up with the identity of the child. Taking away the object is also taking away something of the child itself.
Winnicott noted that transitional objects continue through the course of our lives, as “sacred monuments” which pull us back to “a place and time of great comfort and memory”. The attachment to certain objects like self photographs defines both memorials, and more importantly a stale of connection and presence in the world.
28．How does the writer introduce the topic
A．By sharing feelings. B．By illustrating a term.
C．By relating an experience. D．By providing background information.
29．What does the term “transitional objects” refer to according to the passage
A．Tools used by educators to aid teaching.
B．Items to which a child becomes deeply attached.
C．Toys designed to amuse kids in the kindergarten.
D．Expensive personal possessions gifted by parents.
30．What might happen if a child’s transitional object is denied
A．Ho might lose his imagination.
B．He may become more independent.
C．He is less likely to share personal feelings.
D．He probably distances himself from his mother.
31．What is the main purpose of the text
A．To introduce how to develop a sense of ‘other’ things.
B．To do research on the psychological development of kids.
C．To show how to enhance the bond between mother and child.
D．To stress the importance of transitional objects to children.
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．C 31．D
【导语】这是一篇说明文，文章介绍了“过度客体”及其对孩子的重要性。
28．推理判断题。根据第一段中“I observed one child hugging her beloved toy dog while reading a book to her friend — both she and her dog were actively turning the pages —and with every page turned, she looked down at her dog, lovingly. As a longtime educator of toddlers and a current PhD student studying transitional phenomena and object relations, I have had the pleasure to witness the presence of transitional objects in the kindergarten. (我注意到一个孩子抱着她心爱的玩具狗给她的朋友读书——她和她的狗都在积极地翻页——每翻一页，她都低头看着她的狗，充满爱意。作为一名长期的幼儿教育工作者和一名研究过渡现象和客体关系的博士生，我很高兴地目睹了幼儿园中过渡客体的存在。)”可知，作者由自己看到的景象引出本文主题——“过度客体”，因此是通过将自己的经历相联系而介绍主题，故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“The term transitional object, coined in 195l by D.W. Winnicott, refers to any material to which a child attaches a special value and by means of which the child is able to make the necessary shift from the earliest oral relationship with mother to genuine object-relationships. (‘过渡客体’一词是由D.W. Winnicott在1951年创造的，指的是儿童赋予特殊价值的任何材料，通过这种材料，儿童能够从最早的与母亲的口头关系转变为真正的客体关系。)”和第四段中“If the object is denied in any way, attachment difficulties may arise later in life. (如果对象以任何方式被拒绝，在以后的生活中可能会出现依恋困难。)”可知，“过度客体”是指孩子赋予其特殊价值并深深依恋的东西，故选B。
30．细节理解题。根据第四段中“If the object is denied in any way, attachment difficulties may arise later in life. The object allows for and invites emotional well-being, and without such an object, true feelings may be hidden or dismissed as the child has no other means to cope with and comprehend the world. (如果对象以任何方式被拒绝，在以后的生活中可能会出现依恋困难。对象允许并邀请情感健康，没有这样的对象，真实的感受可能会被隐藏或忽视，因为孩子没有其他方法来应对和理解世界。)”可知，如果孩子的“过度客体”被拒绝，他就不太可能分享个人感受，故选C。
31．推理判断题。根据全文内容，结合最后一段中“Winnicott noted that transitional objects continue through the course of our lives, as “sacred monuments” which pull us back to “a place and time of great comfort and memory”. The attachment to certain objects like self photographs defines both memorials, and more importantly a stale of connection and presence in the world. ( Winnicott指出，过渡客体在我们的生活中一直存在，就像‘神圣的纪念碑’，把我们拉回到‘一个非常舒适和记忆的地方和时间’。对某些物品的依恋，如自拍照，既定义了纪念，更重要的是，定义了与世界的联系和存在的陈腐。)”可知，文章介绍了“过度客体”及其对孩子的重要性，故本文目的是强调过渡客体对儿童的重要性，故选D。
D
In 1986, King Charles suggested talking to plants, a thought initially mocked but now supported by evidence that plants can detect, react to, and potentially produce sound.
Since plants have been evolving alongside the insects for hundreds of millions of years, Heidi Appel, a botanist and Reginald Cocroft, an entomologist wondered if plants might be sensitive to the sounds made by insects. The researchers recorded the vibrations (声音震动) from caterpillars (毛虫) as they chewed on leaves. Then the plants were exposed to the recorded vibrations while no caterpillars were actually present. The results were striking. Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. The research may have practical consequences, such as using drones armed with speakers to warn crops of pest threats, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.
Further studies by ecologist Monica Gagliano reveal that plants, like pea plants, can “hear” water through sound, with roots responding to water-related vibrations even when the water is inaccessible. This finding could have implications for preventing damage to sewer (下水道) systems caused by plant roots. The assumption had been that it was leaks that attracted the roots. The solution, she says, might be to invest in pipes that are silent as water runs through them.
Additionally, the study by the team at Tel Aviv University revealed that plants under stress, due to factors like insufficient water or physical damage, make high-frequency sounds, which can be detected even in noisy environments. This opens possibilities for using microphones to monitor plant health in agriculture, potentially aiding farmers in identifying and addressing crop issues.
Despite some questions remaining to be solved, these fascinating discoveries cast new light on plants’ ability to perceive and respond to sounds in their environment. Plants live in a world full of sounds due to human civilization, and it is worth investigating this interesting aspect. Perhaps researchers might even seek funding from King Charles.
32．What was the original reaction to King Charles’s suggestion
A．Ambiguous. B．Favourable.
C．Indifferent. D．Opposed.
33．What practical result may the research by Heidi and Reginald lead to
A．Introducing drones with speakers to farmers.
B．Applying chemicals to enhance plant growth.
C．Stimulating plants to release anti-pest chemicals.
D．Developing new types of protective pesticides.
34．Why is employing silent pipes suggested
A．To reduce noise pollution.
B．To protect sewer systems.
C．To improve water transportation.
D．To attract plant roots to accessible water.
35．Which of the following shows the structure of the passage
P: paragraph
A． B．
C． D．
【答案】32．D 33．C 34．B 35．C
【导语】本文为说明文，介绍了植物不仅可以探测到声音，对声音做出反应，并可能产生声音。植物与声音相互关系的研究也为我们的生活提供了很多的实践价值。
32．推理判断题。根据第一段“King Charles suggested talking to plants, a thought initially mocked but now supported by evidence that plants can detect, react to, and potentially produce sound. (查尔斯国王建议与植物交谈，这一想法最初受到嘲笑，但现在有证据表明，植物可以探测到声音，对声音做出反应，并可能产生声音)”可知，人们最初对查尔斯的建议的态度是反对的，故选D项。
33．推理判断题。根据第二段“Leaves that had been exposed had significantly higher levels of defensive chemicals, making them much harder for the caterpillars to eat. The research may have practical consequences, such as using drones armed with speakers to warn crops of pest threats, offering an eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides.(曾被暴露于毛虫咀嚼声音中的叶子含有更高水平的防御性化学物质，这使得毛虫更难吃到他们。这项研究可能产生实际的影响，比如使用配备扬声器的无人机来警告农作物害虫的威胁，为化学农药提供一种环保的替代品)”推知，Heidi和Reginald的研究可能导致的实际结果是刺激植物释放抗虫化学物质。故选C项。
34．推理判断题。根据第三段“This finding could have implications for preventing damage to sewer systems caused by plant roots. The assumption had been that it was leaks that attracted the roots. The solution, she says, might be to invest in pipes that are silent as water runs through them. (这一发现可能对防止植物根系对下水道系统造成损害产生影响。此前的假设是滴水声吸引了植物根系。她说解决方法可能是投资当水流经时，保持静音的管道)”推知，应用静音管的目的是保护下水道系统。故选B项。
35．推理判断题。文章第一段总体概括植物可以探测到声音，对声音做出反应，并可能产生声音；第二、三、四段分别介绍了植物可以探测到声音、植物可以对声音做出反应、植物可以产生声音的三个实验。文章第五段总结概括这些发现为植物感知和响应环境声音的能力提供了新的视角。因此文章为总—分—总结构。故选C项。

38 It makes efficient use of their time. Whether using a planner or a calendar app scheduling specific blocks of time for different activities, including study time, exercise,socializing, can lead to better time use.
Furthermore, learning to say no is a valuable skill for youth. With numerous opportunities and interests, it’s easy to become overwhelmed. By being selective about commitments, young adults can arrange their time and energy wisely. Saying no to non-essential activities frees up time for important tasks. 39 .
In the pursuit of personal success, young adults often find themselves caught up in a series of responsibilities and commitments. However, it’s essential for them to recognize that life shouldn’t be like this. Self-care plays a vital role in time management. 40 By ensuring they maintain a healthy work-life balance, young adults can recharge their energy levels, improve focus, and increase productivity. That way, they perfect time usage and pave the way for success.
A．That actually prevents over-commitment.
B．One should constantly review how time is spent.
C．It creates opportunities for personal development as well.
D．Developing a daily schedule helps young adults stay organized.
E．Putting things off constantly is a common time management project.
F．By knowing what they want to accomplish, they can prioritize their tasks.
G．Youth should value adequate rest and activities that promote their well-being.

When Alexa couldn’t crawl, stand or walk as a baby, her mother sensed that something was wrong. 41 , doctors told her not to worry— perhaps Alexa was just a “lazy baby”. After seeing a specialist, though, Alexa was diagnosed with a rare disease called spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), which affects the central nervous system and the 42 in the body.
Throughout Alexa’s childhood and adolescence, there were no 43 medicines to treat SMA．Her muscles continued to weaken over time. But Alexa was outgoing and loved to exercise her 44 through pretend play and performing. This adventurous spirit led her to work as a child 45 , appearing in movies, television shows and commercials.
With hard work, determination and courage—not to 46 plenty of support from her loved ones — Alexa graduated from high school, and attended a law school.

第二节（满分25分）
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 remember the day as clear as glass. I was in 6th grade and my teacher had just announced it was a class break, a time we were allowed to eat snacks and move around the classroom. But on that day, I reached a breaking point.
My friend sat across from me. Two classmates who were attention seekers were making fun of him again. They did something mean to him every day: stealing his school supplies, calling his sister ugly, or laughing at his big head. On this day, they were singing a song about him, “Chicken, chicken Josh.” They sang endlessly and cruelly. Those words were like a bite of hot pepper to my friend, who turned red with anger and embarrassment, while tears of frustration dropped from his eyes. I could see how hopeless he felt.
Normally, I would just sit and watch it all. I was very shy. I rarely spoke during breaks or raised my hand in class. I was so shy, in fact, that my teacher made me a chart to tick every time I raised my hand. She said I’d receive a prize if I filled it up. But I never did. It didn’t help with my shyness; it just made me more self-conscious. But on this particular day, I took a stand. I’d had enough. I stood up and shouted, “Leave him alone!” Silence broke out, all eyes in the room fell on me. But the silence was short-lived as everyone went back to enjoying their break. For the rest of the day, every time the bullies would laugh at my friend during class, I would scream, “Stop troubling him,” or, “It wouldn’t hurt to be nice.”
But these words didn’t help. In fact, it made the situation worse: I too became a victim. From that afternoon on, the two bullies began to make up songs about me. They chanted, pronouncing my name in a different dialect to show I was different from them. This mocking and disrespect upset me a lot. I felt helpless.
注意：1. 续写词数应为 150 左右；
2. 请按所给格式在答题卷的相应位置作答。

【答案】范文
A few weeks later, I spoke to my teacher after class. She was the one person I trusted and knew would understand. Tears welled up in my eyes as I explained the situation. She listened carefully, her expression growing increasingly serious. “You’ve been brave, David,” she said softly. “But this isn’t something you should have to handle alone.” She promised to talk to the principal and find a way to stop the bullying. I felt a sense of relief, knowing that someone was finally going to take action.
One day, my teacher finally said, “David, I think it’s time to get the principal involved.” She had spoken to him and explained the situation. He agreed that something needed to be done. The next day, the principal called a meeting with me, my friend, and the bullies. He spoke firmly about the importance of respect and kindness in our school. He made it clear that bullying was unacceptable and would not be tolerated. The bullies were given a severe warning and were told that if it happened again, there would be consequences. After the meeting, I felt a weight lifted from my shoulders. I knew that things would be different now. The bullies stopped their antics, and my friend and I were finally able to enjoy our school days without fear or intimidation.
