M: You need to finish your drink, Pam. I thought you were thirsty.
W: It’s got too much sugar, dad. Shouldn’t lemonade be sour I’ll just drink some ice water.
Text 2
W: Here is the menu, sir.
M: Thank you, I am in a hurry. What can you serve me quickly
Text 3
W: I’m so sorry. I thought you said your train would arrive at 4:10 pm.
M: It’s no big deal. My train was a little late so I didn’t wait that long. It arrived at 4:40 pm.
W: That’s still a long wait. It’s 5:10 pm now.
Text 4
M: What will you do this Sunday, Susan Surf the Internet at home
W: I have no idea. What is your plan
M: Maybe a day in the library. I have a test coming next Monday.
Text 5
W: What do you think of the robot economy Some people think robots will replace human beings one day.
M: Though robots benefit us a lot, it is humans who create and control them.
Text 6
W: Your dad and I are considering buying you a computer.
M: Really I want a computer that is suitable for playing games.
W: You must be living in dreamland. It is for study, not for entertainment.
M: Well, can I get an expensive computer An expensive one will surely last longer.
W: No, we can’t afford it. We’re going to buy a cheaper one for you during sales promotion.
M: Well, that’s fine. At least it’s not a used one.
W: To my delight, your father’s job is selling computers and his manager promised him a lower price.
M: Sounds great.
Text 7
W: Let’s go on an outdoor trip next weekend!
M: Okay! But I think we should make full preparations this time.
W: Right, last time we forgot to bring sleeping bags.
M: It was so cold! And we left too late, remember There was so much traffic.
W: This time we will bring sleeping bags and leave early.
M: I agree. I also need to remember to carry the new power bank I bought online especially for this trip. Enough bottled water is necessary. And can you bring snacks
W: Probably not, but I want to lose weight. Besides, they are not good for health. So I’m going to bring some fruits and beef.
M: Sure, you are right.

M: Hey Jenny, I’m a bit worried about you. The whole team has noticed you haven’t come to basketball practice recently.
W: I know. I just have so much schoolwork and so many responsibilities these days.
M: You must be worried about being unable to finish everything. If I can do anything to help, I will.
W: I appreciate that. It’s OK. I know I can finish my work. Doing well in school is my highest priority right now, so it’s difficult to commit fully to being the captain of our team.
M: I know you have a lot of responsibilities. If you want, I can tell your friends and our teammates that you need support.
W: That would be so great. If anyone can help me in studying, that would be a huge help as well.
M: We’re in different grades, so I can’t help much with your schoolwork. But I can help with your captain’s duties.
W: That would relieve a lot of stress for me.

M: Hi, Anna. You’ve agreed to talk about your school’s English Film Club on our show. So, how did it start
W: My friends and I have been learning English at senior high school for the last two years. However, at the beginning of this academic year, some of us thought it could be more fun if we learned it in different ways than just sitting in the classroom. That was when we decided to start it.
M: That sounds cool! And then what did you do
W: We spoke about the idea with our teacher and she agreed. The problem was to find an appropriate time to do it, so we discussed it with our teacher at first. Because we had a busy study schedule, we couldn’t have the club during our lessons. So, we decided to run it after school.
M: Does your school help you with that
W: Yes. It has opened an account for us to buy films online. Each month before we end a meeting, we ask for suggestions about the next film. Then we decide what to watch next time, and the teacher orders it for us. I enjoy watching films, but the discussions are the most interesting for me.
Text 10
M: I’m Richard Hunter. You may recognize my face from an article in a local paper recently. This was mainly about my so-called Boot Camp. As the name suggests, this consists of some quite difficult exercises, designed to make a man of you! That’s a joke. Most of my customers are women. I do morning training in villages, and I advertise in local primary schools. I find that’s the best way of reaching young mothers. The training is always outdoors, in all weathers. I’m very much into showing that you don’t need gym equipment or heavy weights. So I like to use real things which you can find around your house or garden. My business is still at the developing stage, and the same goes for my website. At the moment, it’s just advertising what I do. It has also got some pages of advice about training. Healthy diet is next on my list for the website, although I haven’t started that yet. Within six months, I hope to have some videos of people showing some training methods. I’m also planning to organize some sports camps for young children in the summer holidays. I’m looking for some helpers, so join me if anybody is interested.
第二部分
第一节
A
【文章大意】 本文是一篇应用文。文章主要介绍了从伦敦出发不到两小时的一日游的四个旅游目的地。
21. D　细节理解题。根据Margate部分的“However, the young are now moving here in droves as they take advantage of the excellent transport links and the working opportunities.”(然而,年轻人现在正成群结队地搬到这里,因为他们利用这里良好的交通路线和工作机会。)可知,Margate吸引年轻人的地方是便利的交通和工作机会。故选D。
22. B　细节理解题。根据The New Forest部分的“Thenewforest.co.uk is a useful resource as it has walking and cycle routes split into family, dog-friendly and those that take in pubs or villages.”(Thenewforest.co.uk网站是一个有用的资源,因为上面有步行和自行车路线,分为家庭路线、狗友好路线和含酒吧或村庄的路线。)可知,如果你想遛狗,你应该去the New Forest。故选B。
23. C　细节理解题。根据Brighton部分“Any of the small coffee shops would be a great first stop before heading to the very pink Books for Amnesty shop.”(在前往粉红色的Books for Amnesty商店之前,任何一家小咖啡馆都是不错的第一站。)和The Cotswolds部分的“Be sure to pop into Jaffe and Neale, the bookshop and cafe that has been open since 2006.”(一定要去Jaffe and Neale逛逛,这家书店兼咖啡馆从2006年就开始营业了。)可知,这两个地方都有咖啡屋。故选C。
B
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述Jake Ryan自己的经历来介绍Dear Diary Franklin这本书诞生的原因及其具体内容和意义。
24. C　词义猜测题。根据后文“After his open-heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.”(在他的心脏直视手术后,他即将进入一段不同的、艰难的身体和情感恢复之路。)可知,it代指后文提到的他会经历的一段艰难的康复期。故选C项。
25. B　细节理解题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”可知,Ryan写这本是为了为术后父母提供支持。故选B项。
26. D　推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catch-all cliché (陈词滥调) ‘everything is going to be fine’… Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.”可知,Hannah Brody在应对父亲的手术带来的影响时,有愤怒、恐惧和困惑的感受,以及她在学校几乎没有朋友,由此可推知,她受了很多苦。故选D项。
27. D　推理判断题。根据第二段“I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”以及第三段“Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in a diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.”(Dear Diary Franklin是一部以11岁的汉娜·布罗迪的口吻写成的小说,她的父亲突然瘫倒在健身房的地板上,需要紧急医疗救治。这本书以日记的形式写成,让读者深入到年轻女主角的头脑和内心。)可知,本文主要介绍了Dear Diary Franklin这本书,由此可推知,本文是一篇书评。故选D项。
C
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了通过野外放生的方式,北美洲濒危野生动物墨西哥狼种群数量呈现增长趋势。
28. C　细节理解题。根据第一段“In the 1970s, the US government began a programme of raising Mexican wolves and releasing (放出) them back into nature. The programme hoped to make the wolves spread back across the area they had once lived in for they are an important part of the balance of nature in the area.”可知,这个美国计划的目的是确保恢复墨西哥狼的数量。故选C项。
29. A　推理判断题。根据第二段“The result of the latest count of Mexican wolves was reported by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). A total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild, and half of them had baby wolves last spring. Around 90 baby wolves were born in all, and 58% of them survived. The count reported a total of 163 wolves, which is nearly 25% more than last year. Over the last 10 years, the number of wolves has been increasing by about 15% a year.”可知,USFWS报告的数据显示了狼的数量在增加。由此可推知,这个美国项目取得了巨大的成功。故选A项。
30. D　推理判断题。根据第三段“One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing little wolves into groups of wild wolves. The wolves that are returned to nature when they are young seem to be far more adaptable than wolves that go into the wild for the first time as adults. Besides, new wolves from outside the packs also improve the overall long-term health of the wolves as a group.”可推知,将人类饲养的幼狼和野生狼混合在一起对它们都有好处。故选D项。
31. B　细节理解题。根据第四段“However, not everyone is excited about the news. For farmers, who must protect their cattle from wolves, the increase is likely to mean more lost animals on their farms. Last year, 184 farm animals were killed in all. That’s the largest number since 1998.”可知,本段提到了由于狼的数量的增加,农民遭受了损失。故选B项。
D
【文章大意】 本文是一篇议论文,主要论述了每个人都有口音。从这个意义来上说,指出某人“有口音”是毫无意义的。语言差异可以帮助人们洞察他人的文化经历和背景,因此我们要欣赏口音和方言的价值。
32. D　细节理解题。根据第一段“When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, ‘Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.’ But this kind of answer misses the point.”可知,作者认为他/她的朋友忽略了口音的真正含义。故选D项。
33. A　推理判断题。根据第三段“The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different ”可知,作者认为不能因为它不同就认为它是错的。所以作者使用新加坡口语的例子是在为使用方言进行辩护。故选A项。
34. C　推理判断题。根据最后一段“Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.”可知,作者在最后一段中建议我们欣赏口音和方言的价值。故选C项。
35. A　主旨大意题。根据第二段“In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone ‘has an accent’. We all do!”以及第三段“Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too.”可知,作者认为每个人都有口音,而且作者在最后一段指出不同的口音可以让我们更多地了解我们生活的世界,并在这一过程中结交朋友。故A项“Everyone has an accent”最适合作为本文的标题。故选A项。
第二节
【文章大意】 本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了应对焦虑的三种方法。
36. C　根据前文“If you’re scared or feel unsafe, anxiety causes you to be careful.”以及后文“Here are three things that can help.”可知,此处应提到应对焦虑。C项“It’s best to learn how to deal with it.”(最好是学会如何应对它。)承上启下,选项中的第二个it指代前文的anxiety。故选C。
37. G　根据前文“Start with a ‘growth’ mindset (思维模式)…They think, ‘I’m too anxious to speak in class. So I don’t raise my hand.’ They don’t think things can change.”可知,此处强调“成长”型思维模式的重要性,说明拥有固定思维模式的人认为自己太焦虑从而不敢在课堂上发言,他们认为这种情况是不会改变的。后文应该承接前文,说明这种焦虑是可以改变的。G项“But brain science shows that you can teach your brain new ways to respond.”(但脑科学表明,你可以教会大脑新的反应方式。)承接前文,与前文构成转折关系,即教会大脑新的反应方式来应对焦虑。故选G。
38. E　根据前文“Slow breaths can slow the release of stress hormones.”可知,此处强调缓慢呼吸带来的益处。E项“They can help your body and mind feel more at ease.”(它们可以帮助你的身体和心灵感到更放松。)继续指出缓慢呼吸的好处,符合语境。故选E。
39. B　根据后文“Don’t wait for anxiety to go away. You might think that you’ll put off speaking in class or talking to that new person until you no longer feel anxious about it. But it doesn’t work that way. It’s facing the anxiety that helps you lower it.”可知,本段强调逃避是没有用的,面对焦虑才能帮助你减少焦虑。B项“Face the situation.”概括本段主旨,符合语境。故选B。
40. F　根据前文“Being willing to face situations that cause anxiety really helps. Start with one small step.”可知,此处强调从一小步开始去应对焦虑。F项“The more you practise, the better you’ll get at lowering anxiety.”(你练习得越多,你就越能减轻焦虑。)承接前文,符合语境。故选F。

第一节
One possible version:
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am Li Hua and I am writing to apply to be a volunteer for the Chinese Cultural Week at the local museum. Being an exchange student from China, I have great confidence in our culture. Besides, I’m enthusiastic about sharing and promoting my country’s rich cultural heritages. Months of studying in Boston guarantees that I’m skilled in public speaking and cross-cultural communication. I possess a flexible schedule and am committed to contributing to the success of the event.
Thank you for taking my application into consideration. Choose me, and you’re bound to own a surprise!
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
第二节
【思路点拨】 本文以人物为线索,讲述了作者喜欢诗歌,但是在研究生院时,受其他人的影响,他专注于他的工作,将对诗歌的热爱搁置一边。后来在读博士的第二年,他碰巧遇到了大学诗歌俱乐部的人,受到她的鼓励,他加入了诗歌俱乐部,重拾写诗,并发现写诗可以帮助自己放松。但作者担心别人认为自己对科学不够专心,可当他知道实验室的首席研究员Cheryl是一名舞者,而且Cheryl将在系文艺演出上表演时,他受到鼓舞,决定也在文艺演出上表演。
【详解】
1. 段落续写
①由第一段首句内容“演出当晚,我对表演者们的才华感到惊讶。”可知,第一段可以描写作者在晚会上见到了许多和自己一样对艺术有热情的研究生,发现了艺术和科学工作可以共存。
②由第二段首句内容“从那以后,我决定做我自己。”可知,第二段可以描写作者在科学工作之余,依然坚持自己对艺术的热爱。
2. 续写线索:参加晚会—发现热爱艺术的科学工作者—共同的担心—艺术和科学可以共存—坚持做自己—感悟
One possible version:
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers. Chatting with the other performers, I found many of them were graduate students. I realized many shared my concern that we might interpret a passion for art as a lack of passion for science. But over the course of the evening, I found myself at peace with the two halves of my identity, and I got the feeling that others felt that same peace, too.
Since then, I decided to be my whole self. While completing my PhD, I often wrote poetry in my spare time. Some teachers and students have seen the value of this outside interest; others have been distrustful. But when I have my own doubts, I think of some famous figures, whose achievements remind me that art and science can balance and enhance each other. And now, if someone asks me whether I’m more of a scientist or an artist, I very proudly say, “Both.”模块素养测评卷

第二部分　阅读(共两节, 满分50分)
第一节(共15小题;每小题2.5分,满分37.5分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Save your annual leave and explore beautiful towns and places with day trips less than two hours from London, offering a change of scenery, delicious food and a good walk. You can head into work the next day feeling refreshed.
Margate
The old will remember Margate as a somewhat mocked holiday location, a vintage (复古的) style amusement park with rides. However, the young are now moving here in droves as they take advantage of the excellent transport links and the working opportunities. Another draw is the Turner Contemporary art gallery opened in 2011 to celebrate artist JMW Turner, and his connection to Margate. The gallery is free to enter and has spectacular views.
The New Forest
At over 200 square miles, the New Forest is a protected national park dotted with small towns. There are many trails to walk or cycle, which are worth planning in advance. Thenewforest.co.uk is a useful resource as it has walking and cycle routes split into family, dog-friendly and those that take in pubs or villages.
Brighton
There is something for everyone in Brighton: traditional fish and chips, vegan restaurants, the Royal Pavilion and shops—both vintage and contemporary—selling clothing, jewellery, chocolate and records. Any of the small coffee shops would be a great first stop before heading to the very pink Books for Amnesty shop.
The Cotswolds
With the instantly recognisable pale-yellow stone cottages and seemingly unending supply of pubs, the towns and villages that comprise the Cotswolds are well worth a visit. Spend the morning walking around Chipping Norton, a market town with shops and theatres. Be sure to pop into Jaffe and Neale, the bookshop and cafe that has been open since 2006.
(　)21. What attracts the younger generation in Margate
A. Its amusement park.
B. The protected national park.
C. The Turner Contemporary art gallery.
D. Its convenient transportation and working chances.
(　)22. Where should you go if you want to walk with your dog
A. Brighton.　　　　　　　B. The New Forest.
C. Margate. D. The Cotswolds.
(　)23. What do Brighton and the Cotswolds have in common
A. Life style. B. Traditional food.
C. Coffee houses. D. Ancient cottages.
B
“I was in the ICU. I’d been told I’d be released the next day. The worst, it seemed, was behind me.” Jake Ryan didn’t know it at the time, but the worst was not totally behind him. After his open-heart surgery, he was about to enter a different and difficult journey on the road to physical and emotional recovery.
Upon discharge (出院), the hospital gave Jake a “care package”. “I miss my 3-year-old twins. I remember thinking how much I wished there was a book in the package that would offer guidance for how to be a dad following surgery. There wasn’t, but it was out of that thought that this book was born.”
Dear Diary Franklin is a novel written in the voice of 11-year-old Hannah Brody, whose father had suddenly collapsed on a gym floor and was in need of serious medical attention. The book is written in a diary format, which gets readers deep inside the head and heart of its young heroine.
Through her diary, readers hear about Hannah’s feelings and frustrations as she copes with the anger, fear and confusion of the impact of her father’s surgery. What are they keeping from me And why She repeatedly hears the catch-all cliché (陈词滥调) “everything is going to be fine” so many times that she can only think nothing but that. Her own translation: “Normal was over.” While her dad does his best to keep things as normal as possible, his recovery, as you’d imagine, is slow and his routine changes. Meanwhile, there’s the matter of school and Hannah’s place within what for some is a terrifying social universe—she has few friends.
While Ryan said his motivation was to help men (or parents in general) deal with the after-effects of major surgery in their families and themselves, he has delivered a valuable story for children and grown-ups alike in how to tackle a difficult life event that nobody can truly prepare you for.

Long ago, Mexican wolves were common all through the South-western US and Northern Mexico. But as more human activities appeared in the areas, the wolves were hunted until they almost died out. The Mexican wolf is the rarest kind of grey wolf in North America. In the 1970s, the US government began a programme of raising Mexican wolves and releasing (放出) them back into nature. The programme hoped to make the wolves spread back across the area they had once lived in for they are an important part of the balance of nature in the area.
The result of the latest count of Mexican wolves was reported by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). A total of 42 wolf packs were found in the wild, and half of them had baby wolves last spring. Around 90 baby wolves were born in all, and 58% of them survived. The count reported a total of 163 wolves, which is nearly 25% more than last year. Over the last 10 years, the number of wolves has been increasing by about 15% a year.
One change wildlife managers have made recently is placing little wolves into groups of wild wolves. The wolves that are returned to nature when they are young seem to be far more adaptable than wolves that go into the wild for the first time as adults. Besides, new wolves from outside the packs also improve the overall long-term health of the wolves as a group.
However, not everyone is excited about the news. For farmers, who must protect their cattle from wolves, the increase is likely to mean more lost animals on their farms. Last year, 184 farm animals were killed in all. That’s the largest number since 1998.　
Now, the USFWS and others are studying the increase in cattle killings, and trying to figure out solutions to protecting both Mexican wolves and farm animals. Bryan Bird, speaking for a group called Defenders of Wildlife, says, “Ensuring that wolves and people can get along is a necessary part of long-term success.”
(　)28. What is the aim of the US programme
A. To call on people to fight against hunting.
B. To reduce the natural areas for human activities.
C. To make sure the Mexican wolf population recovers.
D. To improve the living conditions of Mexican wolves.
(　)29. What do the numbers reported by the USFWS show
A. The US programme has achieved great success.
B. The baby wolves have faced some difficulties.
C. The number of wolves has been out of control.
D. The Mexican wolves have trouble fitting in the wild.

A. Most young wolves are healthier than adult wolves.
B. Wildlife managers should take measures to manage wolves.
C. Releasing wolves in the wild causes some environmental problems.
D. Mixing human-raised baby wolves with wild wolves benefits them all.
(　)31. What problem is mentioned in Paragraph 4
A. Wild Mexican wolves are short of food.
B. Farmers suffer losses due to increasing wolves.
C. Farmers fail to know how to drive wild wolves away.
D. Wild Mexican wolves are still in danger of dying out.

When I mentioned to some friends that we all have accents, most of them proudly replied, “Well, I speak perfect English/Chinese/etc.” But this kind of answer misses the point.
More often than not, what we mean when we say someone “has an accent” is that their accent is different from the local one, or that pronunciations are different from our own. But this definition of accents is limiting and could give rise to prejudice. Funnily enough, in terms of the language study, every person speaks with an accent. It is the regular differences in how we produce sounds that define our accents. Even if you don’t hear it yourself, you speak with some sort of accent. In this sense, it’s pointless to point out that someone “has an accent”. We all do!
Every person speaks a dialect (方言), too. In the field of language study, a dialect is a version of a language that is characterized by its variations of structure, phrases and words. For instance, “You got eat or not ” (meaning “Have you eaten ” ) is an acceptable and understood question in Singapore Oral English. The fact that this expression would cause a standard American English speaker to take a pause doesn’t mean that Singapore Oral English is “wrong” or “ungrammatical”. The sentence is well-formed and clearly communicative, according to native Singapore English speakers’ solid system of grammar. Why should it be wrong just because it’s different
We need to move beyond a narrow conception of accents and dialects—for the benefit of everyone.
Language differences like these provide insights into people’s cultural experiences and backgrounds. In a global age, the way one speaks is a distinct part of one’s identity. Most people would be happy to talk about the cultures behind their speech. We’d learn more about the world we live in and make friends along the way.
(　)32. What does the author think of his/her friends’ response in Paragraph 1
A. It reflects their self-confidence.
B. It reflects their language levels.
C. It misses the point of communication.
D. It misses the real meaning of accents.
(　)33. Why does the author use the example of Singapore Oral English
A. To justify the use of dialects.
B. To show the diversity of dialects.
C. To correct a grammatical mistake.
D. To highlight a traditional approach.
(　)34. What does the author recommend us to do in the last paragraph
A. Learn to speak with your local dialect.
B. Seek for an official definition of accents.
C. Appreciate the value of accents and dialects.
D. Distinguish our local languages from others’.
(　)35. What can be a suitable title for this passage
A. Everyone has an accent
B. Accents enhance our identities
C. Dialects lead to misunderstanding
D. Standard English is at risk

Three ways to tackle anxiety
Everyone feels anxious at times. Anxiety can surface when you face a challenge or have something to worry about. It turns on your body’s stress response. This instant rise of stress hormones (荷尔蒙) is a survival response. It prepares you to react quickly and protect yourself. If you’re scared or feel unsafe, anxiety causes you to be careful. 36.　　　　 Here are three things that can help.
Start with a “growth” mindset (思维模式). Some people have a fixed mindset. They think, “I’m too anxious to speak in class. So I don’t raise my hand.” They don’t think things can change. 37.　　　　 People with a growth mindset know this. They know they can get better with effort and practice.
Breathe. When you feel anxious, take a few slow breaths. Slow breaths can slow the release of stress hormones. 38.　　　　 As you guide your attention to your breath, you can pay less attention to anxious thoughts and feelings. Breathing like this can help you feel steady and less anxious.
39.　　　　 Don’t wait for anxiety to go away. You might think that you’ll put off speaking in class or talking to that new person until you no longer feel anxious about it. But it doesn’t work that way. It’s facing the anxiety that helps you lower it.
Learning to tackle anxiety takes time, patience, and practice.Being willing to face situations that cause anxiety really helps. Start with one small step. 40.　　　
A. Talk to others.
B. Face the situation.
C. It’s best to learn how to deal with it.
D. They can be uncomfortable but they aren’t harmful.
E. They can help your body and mind feel more at ease.
F. The more you practise, the better you’ll get at lowering anxiety.
G. But brain science shows that you can teach your brain new ways to respond.

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。
“Would you say you are more of a scientist or an artist ” I commonly heard this question as I was preparing to start my neuroscience doctoral programme, often after I told my teachers and classmates that I love writing poetry. I learned to respond, “A scientist.”—not because it was necessarily true, but because I felt it would win me more respect. As an undergraduate, poetry had been a way for me to relax. But in grad school, I wanted to be seen as just as devoted to my work as those around me, who appeared completely undisturbed by non-scientific hobbies. So, I left my poetry by the wayside—but it wasn’t long before I felt a huge void (空虚) in my life.
By the second year of my PhD, my paper project had become very boring and tiring and I was starting to burn out. One afternoon, a student mentioned the weekly event held by the university’s poetry club, of which she was a leader. After hearing how much I enjoyed poetry, she declared, “You should come!” A few days later, I sat in a crowded cafe, excited to be here and to be a part of it.
Through reading and writing poems, I rediscovered how to relax. However, I still worried about appearing less than fully dedicated to my science. So, when a senior grad student in my lab whispered, “I hear you love poetry!” I froze. My heart began to race. She went on to invite me to perform at our department’s art gala (演出). “By the way, Cheryl will be performing!” she added.
I was surprised to discover that Cheryl, our lab’s principal investigator, was a dancer. I excitedly sought her out, and we spoke for more than an hour about how science and art could intertwine (交织). She explained that my skill at picking up patterns in experimental results was the same one I used to create rhymes in my poems. With Cheryl as a model, I decided to perform at the gala, for once not feeling I had anything to hide.
注意:续写词数应为150个左右。
Paragraph 1:
The night of the gala, I was amazed at the talent of the performers.


Paragraph 2:
Since then, I decided to be my whole self.
