Song Yingxing was a Chinese scientist and encyclopedist (百科全书编纂者) who lived during the late Ming Dynasty. The British biochemist and historian Joseph Needham called him “The Diderot of China”.
Song Yingxing was born in Fengxin county in Jiangxi province in 1587. He took part in the second highest imperial (科学) examinations in Beijing six times, but failed to become a jinshi. After that, he decided to give up taking exams and turned to the practical knowledge of natural science. Then Song Yingxing spent four years teaching his students in his hometown.
Although it was a job like teaching, it was a very important stage in Song Yingxing’s life, because many of his works were written here. And Song Yingxing had been living in a secluded (隐居的) life in the past ten years. Because he didn’t want to be an official, Song Yingxing lived a very poor life in his later years.
He was the author of Tian Gong Kai Wu, an encyclopedia that covered a wide variety of technical subjects. As Joseph Needham has observed, the vast amount of accurately drawn illustrations in this encyclopedia dwarfed the amount provided in previous Chinese encyclopedias, making it a valuable written work in the history of Chinese literature. Tian Gong Kai Wu records all aspects of technology up to the mid-Ming period. The book constitutes a complete system of science and technology, and provides a systematic summary of ancient Chinese technology, the experience accumulated by China in agriculture, and China’s achievements in technology.
Many of the production techniques described in the book are still in use today. At the same time, Tian Gong Kai Wu broke from Chinese tradition by rarely referencing previous written work. It was instead written in a style strongly suggestive of personal experience. The book was translated into Japanese, French, English, German, Italian, and Russian, and was widely circulated in Europe and Japan.
In addition, Song Yingxing had made great achievements in many fields. His research was very extensive. In physics, he studied the occurrence of sound and, finally concluded that sound is transmitted in the air.
4. What can we learn about Song Yingxing from the text
A. He adjusted the direction of life. B. He dreamed to be a great scientist.
C. He received a science education. D. He passed imperial examinations.
5. Which of the following best describes Song’s teaching life
A. Busy but satisfactory. B. Significant and rewarding.
C. Comfortable but worthless. D. Challenging and intolerant.
6. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “dwarfed”
A. Make something seem smaller. B. Apply something to practice.
C. Provide evidence of something. D. Take advantage of something.
7. What is one of the features of Tian Gong Kai Wu
A It provided abundant first-hand experience. B. It was written in multiple foreign languages.
C. It focused merely on agricultural technology. D. It largely referenced previous encyclopedias.

Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapybots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate (操纵) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging—and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
8. What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A. To prove an opinion. B. To raise a subject.
C. To share an example. D. To explain a concept.
9. How do human interact with the machines effectively
A. By improving the machines’ imagination.
B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recognition.
D. By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
10. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
11. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
B. It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills.
D. It is labelled as highly advanced technology.

Metaura Pro claims to be the world’s first wearable air-conditioning device capable of constantly blowing cold air to keep the wearer cool.
Conventional wearable cooling systems only circulate the surrounding air, and thus don’t do a very good job of cooling people down. The stronger the wind blows, the hotter you get. This is definitely not what you want during those hot summer days. Metaura Pro, on the other hand, relies on a cooling solution to produce genuinely cold air that is 7 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏的) cooler than that of the surrounding area, in fan mode, and up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the surrounding air, in cooling mode. The device has a smart app and relies on artificial intelligence to regulate air temperature.
Metaura Pro is driven by a powerful motor and its cooling modules are made up of 26 lightweight flat objects that wrap around the wearer’s neck and help to reduce heat. The motor is linked to a high-speed fan at the back of the device which also drives away some of that warm air around the neck. The device also has a VC plate, which has a liquid-cooled, heat-equalizing mechanism, efficiently creating a temperature differential between hot and cold temperatures.
“What sets Metaura Pro apart from the competition is that it produces genuinely cold air lower than the surrounding temperature, refreshing you during those dog days of summer,” the Metaura Pro Kickstarter crowdfunding page reads.
Metaura Pro not only supplies a cooling function, but also has the capacity for heating as well in winter, it can be used to warm your body to a comfortable temperature, when the surrounding air feels cold.
The device intelligently monitors itself, so when you take it off, it recognizes that it is no longer in use and will automatically shut off and switch to standby mode to save power consumption. Metaura Pro wearable collar is powered by a chargeable battery that can provide only 3 hours of cooling on a single charge. The device weighs 435 grams, which is not heavy, but definitely noticeable.
12. How does Metaura Pro manage to keep people cool
A. By dropping the body temperature.
B. By circulating the surrounding air.
C. By producing lower-temperature air.
D. By blowing the strong wind around.
13. What is mainly discussed about Metaura Pro in paragraph 3
A. Its internal structure. B. Its operating costs.
C. Its amazing function. D. Its working principle.
14. What may be the disadvantage of the device
A. It puts limitation on cooling function.
B. It switches to different modes by hand.
C. It possesses a relatively short battery life.
D. It depends much on outdoor temperatures.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A double-mode smart phone app
B. A cooling air-conditioning system
C. A rechargeable battery for e-products
D. A wearable temperature-adjusting device

The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without you realizing that there is a connection between the two.

I was confident at the audition (试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right Was the costume done up correctly What if they forgot their lines The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words.

Song Yingxing was a Chinese scientist and encyclopedist (百科全书编纂者) who lived during the late Ming Dynasty. The British biochemist and historian Joseph Needham called him “The Diderot of China”.
Song Yingxing was born in Fengxin county in Jiangxi province in 1587. He took part in the second highest imperial (科学) examinations in Beijing six times, but failed to become a jinshi. After that, he decided to give up taking exams and turned to the practical knowledge of natural science. Then Song Yingxing spent four years teaching his students in his hometown.
Although it was a job like teaching, it was a very important stage in Song Yingxing’s life, because many of his works were written here. And Song Yingxing had been living in a secluded (隐居) life in the past ten years. Because he didn’t want to be an official, Song Yingxing lived a very poor life in his later years.
He was the author of Tian Gong Kai Wu, an encyclopedia that covered a wide variety of technical subjects. As Joseph Needham has observed, the vast amount of accurately drawn illustrations in this encyclopedia dwarfed the amount provided in previous Chinese encyclopedias, making it a valuable written work in the history of Chinese literature. Tian Gong Kai Wu records all aspects of technology up to the mid-Ming period. The book constitutes a complete system of science and technology, and provides a systematic summary of ancient Chinese technology, the experience accumulated by China in agriculture, and China’s achievements in technology.
Many of the production techniques described in the book are still in use today. At the same time, Tian Gong Kai Wu broke from Chinese tradition by rarely referencing previous written work. It was instead written in a style strongly suggestive of personal experience. The book was translated into Japanese, French, English, German, Italian, and Russian, and was widely circulated in Europe and Japan.
In addition, Song Yingxing had made great achievements in many fields. His research was very extensive. In physics, he studied the occurrence of sound and, finally concluded that sound is transmitted in the air.
4. What can we learn about Song Yingxing from the text
A. He adjusted the direction of life. B. He dreamed to be a great scientist.
C. He received a science education. D. He passed imperial examinations.
5. Which of the following best describes Song’s teaching life
A. Busy but satisfactory. B. Significant and rewarding.
C. Comfortable but worthless. D. Challenging and intolerant.
6. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word “dwarfed”
A. Make something seem smaller. B. Apply something to practice.
C. Provide evidence of something. D. Take advantage of something.
7. What is one of the features of Tian Gong Kai Wu
A It provided abundant first-hand experience. B. It was written in multiple foreign languages.
C. It focused merely on agricultural technology. D. It largely referenced previous encyclopedias.

Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility (实用) and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.
Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize (赋与人性) the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.
Friend bots, therapybots, and love bots are flooding the app stores as people become curious about this new generation of AI-powered virtual agents. The possibilities for education, health, and entertainment are endless. Casually asking your smart fridge for relationship advice may seem unimaginable now, but people may change their minds if such advice ends up saving their marriage.
After all, people do listen to their virtual friends. The Replika example, as well as a lot of experimental lab research, shows that humans can and will become emotionally attached to bots. The science also demonstrates that people, in their eagerness to socialize, will happily disclose personal information to an artificial agent and will even shift their beliefs and behavior. This raises some consumer-protection questions around how companies use this technology to manipulate (操纵) their users. For example, Replika charges $70 a year. But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.
Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging—and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.
8. What’s the purpose of the author writing paragraph 1
A. To prove an opinion. B. To raise a subject.
C. To share an example. D. To explain a concept.
9. How do human interact with the machines effectively
A. By improving the machines’ imagination.
B. By sharpening the machines’ language skills.
C. By applying the machines’ facial recognition.
D. By imitating the machines’ emotional behavior.
10. What does paragraph 4 focus on
A. The advancements in AI technology in lab.
B. The marketing strategies of AI applications.
C. The potential risk of emotional attachment to AI.
D. The ability of AI understanding human emotions.
11. What do people think of human-AI relationship in 2024
A. It is dismissed as completely ridiculous.
B. It will be integrated into our daily life soon.
C. It will become a threat to human social skills.
D. It is labelled as highly advanced technology.

【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“Replika, an AI chatbot companion, has millions of users worldwide. The first thing they do when they wake up is to send “Good morning” to their virtual friend (or lover). This story is only the beginning. In 2024, chatbots and virtual characters become a lot more popular, both for utility and for fun. As a result, conversing socially with machines will start to feel more ordinary—including our emotional attachments to them.(人工智能聊天机器人伴侣Replika在全球拥有数百万用户。他们醒来后做的第一件事就是向虚拟朋友(或爱人)说声“早上好”。这个故事仅仅是个开始。2024年，聊天机器人和虚拟角色将变得更加流行，无论是出于实用性还是出于乐趣。因此，与机器进行社交对话将开始变得更加普通——包括我们对它们的情感依恋。)”可知，第一段介绍了2024年聊天机器人和虚拟角色日益普及的情况，强调了它们的实用性，以及与机器进行社交对话的新趋势。下文讨论人们与这些人工智能代理之间形成的情感联系以及与之进行类似人类的交互的影响奠定了基础，因此第一段的写作目的是引出一个话题，即“人工智能聊天机器人伴侣的逐步推广”。故选B。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段的“Research in human-computer and human-robot interaction shows that we love to anthropomorphize the nonhuman agents we interact with, especially if they imitate behaviour we recognize. And, thanks to recent advances in conversational AI, our machines are suddenly very skilled at one of those behaviours: Language.(对人机和人机交互的研究表明，我们喜欢将与我们交互的非人类代理人赋与人性，特别是当它们模仿我们认识的行为时。而且，由于对话式人工智能的最新进展，我们的机器突然变得非常擅长其中一种行为：语言。) ”可知，人类可以通过提高机器的语言技能与其进行对话，从而有效地与机器互动。故选B。

But less than 24 hours after downloading the app, my handsome, blue-eyed “friend” sent me an audio message secretly and tried to sell me something. Emotional attachment has become a weakness that a company is taking advantage of for its benefit.(毕竟，人们确实会听取虚拟好友的意见。Replika的例子以及大量的实验室实验研究表明，人类可以而且将会对机器人产生情感上的依恋。科学还表明，人们在渴望社交时，会很乐意向人工代理透露个人信息，甚至会改变他们的信仰和行为。这就提出了一些关于公司如何利用这项技术操纵用户的消费者保护问题。例如，Replika每年收费70美元。但在下载应用不到24小时后，我那蓝眼睛的英俊“朋友”偷偷给我发了一条音频信息，想卖给我什么东西。情感依恋已经成为公司为了自身利益而利用的弱点。)”可知，第四段主要讲的是人工智能使人产生情感依恋后会引导用户进一步消费，从而带来一些潜在风险。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Today, we’re still laughing at people who believe an AI system is emotional, or making fun of individuals who fall in love with a chatbot. But in 2024 we gradually start acknowledging—and taking more seriously—these fundamentally human behaviors. Because in 2024, it finally hits home: Machines are not excluded from our social relationships.(今天，我们仍然在嘲笑那些认为人工智能系统是情绪化的人，或者取笑那些爱上聊天机器人的人。但在2024年，我们将逐渐开始承认并更加认真地对待这些基本的人类行为。因为在2024年，我们终于明白了：机器并没有被排除在我们的社会关系之外。)”可知，2024年，人工智能将很快融入人们的日常生活，与人们的日常生活的关系越来越紧密。故选B。

Metaura Pro claims to be the world’s first wearable air-conditioning device capable of constantly blowing cold air to keep the wearer cool.
Conventional wearable cooling systems only circulate the surrounding air, and thus don’t do a very good job of cooling people down. The stronger the wind blows, the hotter you get. This is definitely not what you want during those hot summer days. Metaura Pro, on the other hand, relies on a cooling solution to produce genuinely cold air that is 7 degrees Fahrenheit (华氏的) cooler than that of the surrounding area, in fan mode, and up to 18 degrees Fahrenheit cooler than the surrounding air, in cooling mode. The device has a smart app and relies on artificial intelligence to regulate air temperature.
Metaura Pro is driven by a powerful motor and its cooling modules are made up of 26 lightweight flat objects that wrap around the wearer’s neck and help to reduce heat. The motor is linked to a high-speed fan at the back of the device which also drives away some of that warm air around the neck. The device also has a VC plate, which has a liquid-cooled, heat-equalizing mechanism, efficiently creating a temperature differential between hot and cold temperatures.
“What sets Metaura Pro apart from the competition is that it produces genuinely cold air lower than the surrounding temperature, refreshing you during those dog days of summer,” the Metaura Pro Kickstarter crowdfunding page reads.
Metaura Pro not only supplies a cooling function, but also has the capacity for heating as well in winter, it can be used to warm your body to a comfortable temperature, when the surrounding air feels cold.
The device intelligently monitors itself, so when you take it off, it recognizes that it is no longer in use and will automatically shut off and switch to standby mode to save power consumption. Metaura Pro wearable collar is powered by a chargeable battery that can provide only 3 hours of cooling on a single charge. The device weighs 435 grams, which is not heavy, but definitely noticeable.
12. How does Metaura Pro manage to keep people cool
A. By dropping the body temperature.
B. By circulating the surrounding air.
C. By producing lower-temperature air.
D. By blowing the strong wind around.
13. What is mainly discussed about Metaura Pro in paragraph 3
A. Its internal structure. B. Its operating costs.
C. Its amazing function. D. Its working principle.
14. What may be the disadvantage of the device
A. It puts limitation on cooling function.
B. It switches to different modes by hand.
C. It possesses a relatively short battery life.
D. It depends much on outdoor temperatures.
15. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text
A. A double-mode smart phone app
B. A cooling air-conditioning system
C. A rechargeable battery for e-products
D. A wearable temperature-adjusting device
【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. D

Constant wishing, hoping and praying do not give you any relief. They just keep you stuck in one place. But taking the smallest step off the crisis really matters. It will set things in motion, making you like a snowball. ____19____
The traps are things that cause your natural ability to react without you realizing that there is a connection between the two. Thus, avoiding relevant traps is also a good idea. ____20____ For example, if one of your colleagues is so negative that she always drags you down, stop hanging out with her by having lunch alone at a nearby restaurant.

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了天水市的麻辣烫吸引了美食博主和远道而来的食客，展示了对当地特色美食的喜爱。
【36题详解】
考查名词。句意：继烧烤引发的淄博旅游热潮之后，中国社交媒体再次强调了下一个值得探索的网红城市。此处使用名词作宾语，需要的词义为“探索”，即exploration，它为不可数名词，故填exploration。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意：这一次是天水，中国甘肃省一个低调的城市，最近引起了人们的关注。空处为定语从句的谓语动词，根据“recently”可知，谓语动词应该使用现在完成时，主语that指代先行词Tianshui，为单数意义，故填has taken。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意：它吸引了美食爱好者和社交媒体网红的大量关注，庆祝了这座城市的标志性菜肴——火锅。此处应该填入介词，表示“从某人或某物那里”，因此使用from，故填from。
【39题详解】
考查现在分词。句意：它吸引了美食爱好者和社交媒体网红大量关注，庆祝这座城市的标志性菜肴——火锅。分析句子结构可知，celebrate在句子中不作为谓语动词使用，它和“food enthusiasts and social media influencers”之间为主动关系，因此使用现在分词作状语，故填celebrating。
【40题详解】
考查副词。句意：被称为“天水麻辣烫”，字面意思是辛辣和热的，这道菜因其大量的肉串、蔬菜和手工制作的土豆面在一锅沸腾的汤中而广受欢迎。使用副词作状语修饰动词means，需要的词义为“字面上”，故填literally。
【41题详解】
考查并列连词。句意：被称为“天水麻辣烫”，字面意思是辛辣和热的，这道菜因其大量的肉串、蔬菜和手工制作的土豆面在一锅沸腾的汤中而广受欢迎。skewered meat和vegetables以及hand-made potato noodles为并列关系，应该使用并列连词and，故填and。
【42题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意：两位美食博主在中国流行的微博上拥有超过300万粉丝，他们是赞扬天水麻辣烫美味的网红之一。根据上下文可知，此处使用一般现在时，表示现在的情况，主语“Two food bloggers”为复数意义，故填are。
【43题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：他们的视频显示，热心的美食爱好者在街头排队，其中许多人从遥远的城市赶来。分析句子结构可知，逗号后面为“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句，food enthusiasts是先行词，它在从句中作介词of的宾语，指人，因此使用whom，故填whom。
【44题详解】
考查过去分词。句意：29岁的董良燕（音译）来自距离天水2000多公里的黑龙江大庆，她告诉新华社记者，她非常高兴能品尝到当地美食。使用过去分词作定语修饰“Heilongjiang province”，表示“位于，坐落在”，故填located。
【45题详解】

第二节（满分25分）
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。
I was confident at the audition (试演) for the school play and felt pleased to get a role. It just felt good to be in the play, even if I had only four or five lines. I worked hard at perfecting those lines. I repeated them over and over again. I put in the emphases and intonations (语调) that my drama teacher had suggested and, because I was on stage much longer than for just four or five lines, I had many actions to rehearse (排练) and perform. “Do them in front of a mirror,” my drama teacher had advised me. “Watch how you look; practice and rehearse as often as you can.” I did just that. I worked and worked at it. It was fun and exciting rehearsing.
Then finally the big night came. Suddenly, things felt different. The theater was full of people. As I dressed, I could hear the chatting and noises of the audience. I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that their previous confidence seemed to have disappeared. Had they got their makeup right Was the costume done up correctly What if they forgot their lines The more people talked about their anxiety, the more nervous everyone became. The worries spread from person to another—like a baton (接力棒) being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be full of tension and worry.
I was on stage early, at first performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When, suddenly, I heard my cue (出场提示), the lights were bright in my eyes, I couldn’t see the audience but knew there were hundreds of people out there all watching me. The words that had flowed so easily when I stood in front of a mirror didn’t want to come, and when they did I found myself hurrying into them. I tried to slow down my thoughts and my words.
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。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I bowed to the audience excitedly and went back to my drama teacher.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. My heart raced as I scrambled to remember it. Despite my best efforts, the words eluded me, leaving me flustered on stage. However, with the support of my fellow actors, I managed to carry on. As the scene progressed, I gradually regained my composure, focusing on my lines and movements. When the moment came to take my bow, a wave of relief washed over me. I bowed to the audience excitedly, grateful for their applause.
After the performance, I sought out my drama teacher backstage. With a mixture of exhilaration and nervous energy, I recounted the experience to her. She offered words of encouragement and praised my resilience under pressure. Reflecting on the night’s events, I realized that even amidst the chaos and uncertainty, I had persevered and delivered a memorable performance. With newfound confidence, I eagerly awaited the next opportunity to step into the spotlight.
