W: I’ve been having headaches.
M: How long have they been bothering you
W: They started about three weeks ago. Oh, no, they must have been going on for about a month. At first, I thought I had the flu because I had a runny nose and a temperature.

W: They are usually worse in the morning, especially during the past two weeks. But they get better in the afternoon.
M: OK. Now let me check if there is anything seriously wrong.

M: Well, the office opens at 8:30 am and the team starts with a meeting at 9 o’clock.

W: That sounds good.

W: Oh, I know the store. But the clothes there are too expensive. How much did the coat cost you
M: Not as much as the salesman asked for it. He wanted $80.
W: So, how much did you pay in the end
M: I got him to bring down the price to $55.
W: Wow! That’s pretty smart! In fact, I have been wanting to buy a cool hat in that store for a long time. It’s $40, which is kind of expensive. Can you help me get the price down
M: I’m not sure, but I can try.

M: Did you hear about the plan to build an amusement park at Discovery Bay
W: No. Tell me about it.
M: Look. It’s all here in the newspaper.
W: Oh, no, this will really destroy the environment. The cars, the crowds ... It’s hard to imagine what will happen in the future.
M: Sure, there’ ll be a bit more pollution and crowds, but tourists will be good for the economy. Don’t you think so
W: I guess so, but Discovery Bay is such a peaceful place right now, and lots of families with small kids live there. I really like how it looks now.
M: Well, the locals should enjoy the new place as much as the tourists. Right now there are no interesting places here.
W: I don’t know. And it says here that they’re going to fill part of the bay. What will happen to the fish living there They’ll be killed!
M: Well, you can’t stop progress.
W: That’s probably true, but I’ll still voice my concerns to the government on the internet.

W: Samos is a Greek Island in the eastern Aegean Sea. From Athens, there are three boats that go there every week in the summer, two each week in the spring and fall, and one each week in the winter. The weather there is sunny and warm for most of the year. It rains a lot from November to January. This helps the island to stay green. Many tourists visit the island mainly from April through August. Mountain climbers from all over the world come to Samos to climb the forest-covered mountains. The villages up in the mountains have been well kept, and visitors can experience the simple life there. There are many beaches with pure white sand and calm, clear water in the south of the island. They are perfect for visitors to relax. There are many busy places on the eastern side of the island where people spend their holidays.

Passage A
【答案】21. A 22. C 23. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是应用文。文章介绍了美国的四个雕塑公园的相关信息。
【21题详解】
细节理解题。由Kasmin Sculpture Garden (New York City)中的“This quiet sculpture garden in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood is far from the crowds. Owned and operated by Kasmin Gallery, this exhibition space can be viewed from the nearby High Line. (这座位于曼哈顿切尔西区的安静雕塑花园远离人群。这个展览空间由Kasmin Gallery拥有和运营，可以从附近的High Line观看)”可知，Kasmin Sculpture Garden由Kasmin Gallery运营。故选A项。
【22题详解】
细节理解题。由Storm King Art Center (New Windsor)中的“By far the most popular sculpture park in upstate New York, it is a 500-acre sculpture park in Hudson Valley. (迄今为止，它是纽约州北部最受欢迎的雕塑公园，位于哈德逊河谷，占地500英亩)”可知，Storm King Art Center位于哈德逊山谷。故选C项。
【23题详解】
细节理解题。由Olympic Sculpture Park (Seattle)中的“This outdoor park was created by the nearby Seattle Art Museum and features a large red sculpture by Alexander Calder called Eagle, as well as Wake by Richard Serra. (这座户外公园由附近的西雅图艺术博物馆创建，以亚历山大·卡尔德的大型红色雕塑Eagle和理查德·塞拉的Wake为特色)”可知，在西雅图可以看到Richard Serra的雕塑作品Wake。故选B项。
Passage B
【答案】24.B 25.C 26.B 27.A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一片记叙文，讲述了作者参加马拉松的经历和感悟。
24. 题干：What initially motivated the author to run the marathon （作者最初参加马拉松的动机是什么？）
答案定位：文章第一段 “It all started with a silly family argument about who could run the marathon the fastest. It was lighthearted at first, but within minutes, we were online, signing up for a full marathon - no real training plans, no second thoughts, just four stubborn people determined to prove each other wrong.”
解析：作者明确提到，最初的动机源于一场家庭里关于谁能最快跑完马拉松的争论，四人都想证明自己比对方强，进而报名参赛。A 选项 “渴望保持健康”、C 选项 “对跑步的兴趣”、D 选项 “姐姐的鼓励” 在文中均未提及，属于无中生有。因此正确答案为 B（一场竞争性的家庭赌注）。
25. 题干：Who did the author want to run for later （作者后来想为谁而跑？）
答案定位：文章第四段 “I realized who the real marathoners were - the healthcare workers working impossible shifts and holding everything together for patients like my mom. I found my 'why'. I wanted to run to represent the people who cared for her.” 以及最后一段 “Running the race was my way to thank those healthcare workers running silent marathons every day.”
解析：作者在母亲患病接受治疗的过程中，目睹了医护人员的辛苦付出，意识到真正的 “马拉松运动员” 是医护人员，因此后来决定为医护人员而跑，以此表达感谢。A 选项 “他生病的母亲” 是作者目睹医护人员付出的契机，并非跑步的对象；B 选项 “一位友善的陌生人”、D 选项 “他 TikTok 上的粉丝” 均不符合文意。因此正确答案为 C（医护人员）。
26. 题干：What surprised the author on the day of the race （比赛当天什么让作者感到惊讶？）
答案定位：文章第五段 “But what I didn't anticipate was how many people would actually find the journey meaningful. By the day of the race, strangers, who only knew me from TikTok, were shouting words of encouragement. Some even told me they felt inspired to start running too.”
解析：作者原本未预料到自己的跑步经历会对他人产生影响，而比赛当天，仅从 TikTok 认识他的陌生人会为他加油，甚至有人表示受他启发也想开始跑步，这一影响让他感到惊讶。A 选项 “穿刷手服跑步的困难” 文中未提及；C 选项 “他的视频内容不受欢迎” 与文意相反，视频让陌生人认识并支持他；D 选项 “其他参赛者的努力” 并非作者惊讶的点。因此正确答案为 B（他的行为对他人产生的影响）。
27. 题干：What does crossing the finish line mean to the author （冲过终点线对作者意味着什么？）
答案定位：文章第六段 “Crossing that finish line wasn't just about beating my sisters. It was about becoming part of a large community of healthcare workers, runners and everyday people who show up, push through and keep going no matter what.”
解析：作者认为冲过终点线不仅仅是打败姐妹，更重要的是成为一个由医护人员、跑步者和普通人组成的大家庭的一员，这个大家庭的成员都在坚持和努力。B 选项 “实现他的跑步梦想”、C 选项 “获得公众的认可”、D 选项 “体现坚韧的重要性” 均未体现 “加入社群” 这一核心含义。因此正确答案为 A（加入一个支持性的社群）。
Passage C
【答案】28．C 29．B 30．C 31．D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了肢体语言在交流中的重要性。
28．词句猜测题。根据画线词上文“Body language has the power to influence the audience’s feelings and even change minds.(肢体语言能够影响听众的感受，甚至改变他们的想法。)”可知，画线部分“the “saying””指代肢体语言。故选C。
29．细节理解题。根据第二段中“By ensuring that a person’s body language is “consistent” with their emotional state, someone can create a safe environment for conversation to happen.(通过确保一个人的肢体语言与他们的情绪状态“一致”，就可以为谈话创造一个安全的环境。)”可知，如果想要为对话营造一种安全感，那么说话的人的肢体语言应该忠实于他们的情感状态。故选B。
30．推理判断题。根据第三段中“For example, a person might want to make a listener feel “comfortable” and “laid back” during a conversation. If this is the goal, they will avoid having “closed-off” or “unfriendly” body language, such as avoiding eye contact or crossing their arms.(例如，一个人可能想让听者在谈话中感到“舒适”和“悠闲”。如果这是目标，他们会避免“封闭”或“不友好”的肢体语言，比如避免眼神交流或交叉双臂。)”可知，交叉手臂可能会导致紧张气氛。故选C。
31．推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中“Therefore, it is always important to be mindful of the “saying” when engaging with different audiences.(因此，在与不同的观众互动时，注意“说法”总是很重要的。)”和最后一段“In summary, body language plays a key role in speaking. Effective use of body language can also enhance the speaker’s message and engage the audience. On the contrary, poor body language can detract from (影响) the speaker’s message and create a passive impression. Therefore, it is essential for speakers to pay attention to their body language and use it to their advantage when delivering a speech.(总之，肢体语言在讲话中起着关键作用。有效地使用肢体语言也可以增强演讲者的信息并吸引听众。相反，拙劣的肢体语言会分散说话人的信息，给人一种被动的印象。因此，演讲者必须注意自己的肢体语言，并在演讲时利用它来发挥自己的优势。)”可知，作者写这篇文章旨在提醒我们要注意正确使用肢体语言。故选D。
Passage D
【答案】32.B 33.A 34.C 35.B
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，说明了人工智能时代教育如何重塑未来的教育。
32. 题干：Compared with earlier automation, what is special about AI （与早期自动化相比，人工智能的特别之处是什么？）
答案定位：文章第三段 “Different from earlier automation that replaced routine manual labor, AI can now simulate human-like writing, coding and data analysis.”
解析：早期自动化主要替代常规体力劳动，而人工智能能够模拟人类的写作、编程和数据分析，这些都属于认知类工作。A 选项 “能替代体力劳动” 是早期自动化的特点，并非 AI 的特别之处；C 选项 “能独立完成工作” 文中未提及，AI 仍需一定条件支持；D 选项 “能理解人类情感” 与第四段 “AI still struggles with tasks that require deep reasoning, empathy... It cannot truly understand human emotions or motivations” 相悖。因此正确答案为 B（它能做一些认知类工作）。
33. 题干：Why are soft skills becoming more important, according to the passage （根据文章，为什么软技能变得越来越重要？）
答案定位：文章第四段 “That's why'soft skills' will become more important than ever. Collaboration, empathy, emotional awareness and creative problem-solving are difficult to automate.”
解析：因为协作、共情、情感认知和创造性解决问题等软技能难以被人工智能自动化，所以其重要性日益凸显。B 选项 “是控制人工智能的必要条件”、C 选项 “更容易衡量和测试”、D 选项 “能帮助公司节省成本” 在文中均无依据。因此正确答案为 A（它们仍然难以被人工智能学习）。
34. 题干：What can teachers do to help students build core skills （教师可以做些什么来帮助学生培养核心技能？）
答案定位：文章第七段 “Teachers should stress the value of slower learning - through handwriting, group presentations, and hands-on projects - so that students can build core skills before using AI tools.”
解析：教师应强调慢学习的价值，通过手写、小组展示和实践项目等方式，帮助学生在使用 AI 工具前培养核心技能。A 选项 “阻止学生使用 AI 完成作业” 过于绝对，文中只是建议先培养核心技能再使用 AI；B 选项 “减少传统学科的教学” 与第四段 “these skills can be taught in schools together with traditional subjects” 相悖；D 选项 “鼓励学生多做练习” 文中未提及 “练习” 这一具体方式。因此正确答案为 C（展示慢学习的重要性）。
35. 题干：How does the author feel about the future of human workers （作者对人类工作者的未来持什么态度？）
答案定位：文章最后一段 “In the end, no one knows exactly how AI will change the job market. However, human skills such as self-awareness, empathy and complex problem-solving will only grow in value. The most important lesson schools can teach is this: Don't let shortcuts replace learning. Human abilities - especially the ability to work with others to solve difficult problems - will always matter.”
解析：作者认为虽然不确定 AI 如何改变就业市场，但人类的自我认知、共情和复杂问题解决能力的价值会不断提升，人类能力始终重要，可见其对人类工作者的未来持乐观态度。A 选项 “担忧的”、C 选项 “怀疑的”、D 选项 “漠不关心的” 均不符合文意。因此正确答案为 B（乐观的）。
第二节 七选五
36-40 CAEDF
36. C。后文主要介绍一些消除疲劳的小贴士，C选项中的choices和后文的tips相呼应，故答案为C。
37. A。从下文“People who don’t eat breakfast are more likely to be less active in the morning.”可知，该部分主要讨论了不吃早餐的危害，因此此空答案为A。
38. E。本句与前文的“highly refined carbs”相呼应，后文“oatmeal, brown rice, blueberries, or oranges”都不是精制碳水化合物，为富含纤维的食物，故答案为E。
39. D。第四个小贴士部分为总结部分，因此此空需要一个总结句，D意为“结合以上的成功秘诀，并定期这样做”，符合逻辑，故答案为D。
40. F。后文提到“you can enjoy steady vitality”，与F中的productivity and focus相呼应，故答案为F。
第三部分 语言运用
第一节 完形填空
41-45 DBACB
46-50 CCBAD
51-55 ABCAD
41. D。前句介绍了Lauren去年在食品募捐活动上发现都是些没有营养的罐装食品，结合后文Lauren种菜捐菜的行为可知，她是决心要做出改变。
42. B。从后面Lauren的父母“who provided her with half an acre of land”可知，父母给她提供了土地，说明非常支持（support）她的想法。
43. A。结合“half an acre of land”及后文介绍的管理菜园的过程可知，Lauren自己种植（grew）了蔬菜然后捐赠给需要帮助的人。
44. C。Lauren因为以前从来没有过管理菜园的经验所以开始学习农学和园艺。
45. B。从前文Lauren学习农学和后文她的辛勤劳作可知，她对待种菜这件事十分认真，全身心投入，put one’s heart into sth为固定搭配短语。
46. C。从后面这个组织给Lauren提供资金（which awarded her a small grant）可知，Lauren的行动引起了这个组织的注意（attention），所以他们给Lauren提供支持。
47. C。结合种菜的情境可知，组织给Lauren提供的资金是用于种菜相关的用品（supplies）和种子的支出。
48. B。Lauren每天花两三个小时的时间在菜园里浇水除草，dedicate sth to (doing) sth的意思是“将（时间、精力等等）投入、奉献于某事”。
49. A。从后面Lauren收获了蔬菜并捐赠出去可知，她种菜的努力很快获得了回报、带来了好结果（paid off）。
50. D。从第一段最后“... gave it all away to local food banks and non-profits”可知，Lauren种出了蔬菜之后将它们全部捐赠（donating）了出去。
51. A。Lauren觉得需要新鲜蔬菜的人通过她的努力和善举得到了蔬菜，结合后文她扩大种植规模继续种菜捐菜的行为可知，这件事应该是让她感到很振奋，鼓舞了她（encouraging）。
52. B。结合上段中“15 types of veggies”及本题后“20 different species”可知，Lauren扩大了她种植的蔬菜种类。
53. C。从后文Lauren妈妈说的话可以推知，她应该是为Lauren感到很自豪的（proud）。
54. A。Lauren从一开始完全不懂种菜到最后获得成功付出了很大努力，她是真的选择专注于农学的。
55. D。她不但钻研农学，更是将所学投入实践，真正地帮助（assisting）到了有需要的人，因此此空答案为D。

Dear Mr Johnson,
I’m Li Hua, the president of our school’s Drama Club. We’re going to hold an English Drama Performance Competition and I’m writing to sincerely invite you to be a judge.
The competition will take place in the school hall from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. next Friday. During the event, 10 teams from different classes will perform their well-prepared English dramas, covering various themes like friendship and courage. After all performances, you’ll work with other judges to score the teams based on their pronunciation, acting skills and stage design.
I'd appreciate it if you could take my invitation into consideration. Please let me know your decision at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
读后续写
As I launched into my speech, everything suddenly went very wrong. I hesitated as I explained things, and I realized too late that what I said was not clear. My speech didn’t connect logically with the other points my team had made. The confused looks on the judges’ faces almost made me cry. I realized my overconfidence was a mistake, but it was already too late. Having finished speaking, I couldn’t hold back my tears anymore—they flowed down my cheeks and felt hot. I knew we had lost the top title.
Suddenly, a teammate grabbed my hand. She comforted me, saying that it was alright. Two other teammates came over to hug me. I continued sobbing the word “sorry” to them, feeling even worse now as they repaid my irresponsibility with kindness. When we were called to receive the prize for second place, we went up together as a team and bravely lifted the award. I finally realized what it was like to be part of a team. On that day, I learned that no man is an island—we all need others.盘州市第二中学2025-2026学年高二上学期第一次月考

There’s a current exhibition featuring bronze (铜) sculptures by Alma Allen, which shows the artist’s regard for Utah.

It all started with a silly family argument about who could run the marathon the fastest. It was lighthearted at first, but within minutes, we were online, signing up for a full marathon - no real training plans, no second thoughts, just four stubborn people determined to prove each other wrong.
We had only three and a half weeks to train, and my longest run ever was 20 kilometers. However, I felt like challenging myself.
One day, after one of my sister's long day in the clinic, she sank onto the couch and said, "I just went through a marathon of my own today." That stuck with me ever since. We often use the word "marathon" to describe the non-stop, exhausting days health care workers bear. I realized this race could mean something bigger.
In the months leading up to the race, my mother was diagnosed with a brain tumour肿瘤, then underwent surgery and began her recovery. I witnessed first-hand the extraordinary care she received. I realized who the real marathoners were - the healthcare workers working impossible shifts and holding everything together for patients like my mom. I found my "why". I wanted to run to represent the people who cared for her.
So I started running in my scrubs - as a dental student牙科学生 I wear them regularly. I filmed everything - the good runs, the bad runs and the moments when I wanted to quit. But what I didn't anticipate was how many people would actually find the journey meaningful. By the day of the race, strangers, who only knew me from TikTok, were shouting words of encouragement. Some even told me they felt inspired to start running too.
Crossing that finish line wasn't just about beating my sisters. It was about becoming part of a large community of healthcare workers, runners and everyday people who show up, push through and keep going no matter what.
Running the race was my way to thank those healthcare workers running silent marathons every day. Thank you from the bottom of my heart - you made me the compassionate, resilient and committed caregiver I always aimed to be.

Body language can be a very powerful tool, no matter the size of the audience. Whether it is two people or two hundred people, body language can directly influence how audience members see a speaker or respond to what is being said. Body language has the power to influence the audience’s feelings and even change minds. Therefore, it is always important to be mindful of the “saying” when engaging with different audiences.
Within interpersonal exchanges, body language can contain many different emotions or signals. By ensuring that a person’s body language is “consistent” with their emotional state, someone can create a safe environment for conversation to happen. If one’s body language is inconsistent with their emotional state, this might leave an audience feeling uncomfortable, put off, or on edge. They won’t know what to expect from that person.
For example, a person might want to make a listener feel “comfortable” and “laid back” during a conversation. If this is the goal, they will avoid having “closed-off” or “unfriendly” body language, such as avoiding eye contact or crossing their arms. To make somebody feel more comfortable within a conversation, someone should focus on being “open” with their posture (姿势). They should relax their face and make sure to hold the listener’s attention and face the listener in an “open” position (e.g. with arms at their sides and slightly leaning (倾斜) towards the listener).
More importantly, body language can influence whether or not an audience feels confident or trusting of a speaker’s expertise. If a speaker’s body language comes across as being “nervous” or “hesitant”, then an audience might not take what they are saying seriously or be less likely to believe them or find them credible.
In summary, body language plays a key role in speaking. Effective use of body language can also enhance the speaker’s message and engage the audience. On the contrary, poor body language can detract from (影响) the speaker’s message and create a passive impression. Therefore, it is essential for speakers to pay attention to their body language and use it to their advantage when delivering a speech.
28．What does the underlined words “the ‘saying’” in paragraph 1 refer to
A．Making a speech. B．A response. C．Body language. D．An inner voice.
29．What should persons do to create a sense of safety for a conversation
A．Have lower expectations of their audience.
B．Keep their body language true to their feelings.
C．Remain emotionally consistent with the audience.
D．Avoid exposing their inner emotions to the audience.
30．What might the act of crossing one’s arms lead to according to the text
A．Relaxation. B．Optimism. C．Tension. D．Doubt.
31．What is the author’s purpose in writing the text
A．To offer suggestions on delivering a speech.
B．To show the benefits of using body language.
C．To point out improper types of body language.
D．To remind us to be careful with body language.
D
For the past 50 years, the highest-paying jobs have centered on knowledge work - especially in science, technology and analysis. But the rapid rise of generative AI is beginning to change panies are already considering replacing certain white-collar roles with artificial intelligence. This change raises an important question: Will the future economy still need as many creative and analytical workers
The impact extends beyond future workers to teachers and parents. For years, schools have focused on getting students ready for cognitive jobs. Now, with AI entering the workplace, we need to decide which skills students truly need.
Different from earlier automation that replaced routine manual labor, AI can now simulate human-like writing, coding and data analysis. As a result, some entry-level knowledge jobs may decline. However, AI still struggles with tasks that require deep reasoning, empathy, or dealing with unknown variables. It cannot truly understand human emotions or motivations.
That's why "soft skills" will become more important than ever. Collaboration, empathy, emotional awareness and creative problem-solving are difficult to automate. The good news is that these skills can be taught in schools together with traditional subjects such as math and reading.
For example, teachers can use reflection exercises to help students recognize their own emotions and interactions. Prompts提示 like "Write about a time you helped someone today" or "Describe how you solved a hard problem" encourage self-awareness and empathy.
Students can also practice solving open-ended, real-world problems - such as testing soil samples on school grounds, designing a social campaign, or discussing historical decisions. These activities build flexible thinking and teamwork - skills that AI cannot copy.
A new challenge, however, is that students may rely on AI to complete tasks, bypassing the learning process. But genuine understanding requires effort. Teachers should stress the value of slower learning - through handwriting, group presentations, and hands-on projects - so that students can build core skills before using AI tools.
In the end, no one knows exactly how AI will change the job market. However, human skills such as self-awareness, empathy and complex problem-solving will only grow in value. The most important lesson schools can teach is this: Don't let shortcuts replace learning. Human abilities - especially the ability to work with others to solve difficult problems - will always matter.
32. Compared with earlier automation, what is special about AI
A. It can replace manual labor.
B. It can do some cognitive jobs.
C. It can finish work independently.
D. It can understand human emotions.
33. Why are soft skills becoming more important, according to the passage
A. They are still difficult for AI to learn.
B. They are necessary for controlling AI.
C. They are easier to measure and test.
D. They can help companies save costs.
34. What can teachers do to help students build core skills
A. Stop students from using AI to do assignments.
B. Reduce the teaching of traditional subjects.
C. Show the significance of slower learning.
D. Encourage students to do more exercises.
35. How does the author feel about the future of human workers
A. Worried. B. Optimistic.
C. Doubtful. D. Uncaring.

When tiredness sets in during the day, most of us reach for a “pick-me-up” in the form of sugar or caffeine. Sure, both of these improve energy levels fast. But they also lack staying power and aren’t good for our overall health.
36 . Once you know what high-energy foods to eat and a few best practices on how to eat them, you’ll be on your way to feeling better in no time.
Start your high-energy diet with these four quick tips from dietitian (营养学家) Anna Kippen.
37
Research shows that people who eat breakfast perform better at tasks, eat fewer overall calories and miss fewer days of work and school than those who don’t. People who don’t eat breakfast are more likely to be less active in the morning.
Avoid refined carbs
Carbohydrates (碳水化合物) provide much-needed energy for your body. But highly refined (精制的) carbs, such as white bread, candy and sweet baked goods lead to a carb crash, making you feel sleepy. 38 . Try oatmeal, brown rice, blueberries or oranges, for starters.
Add lean protein to meals and snacks
Protein (蛋白质) takes longer to digest (消化). When you eat it with a carbohydrate, it slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream. You get continuous energy without the crash. For example, try adding a serving of nuts, nut butter (no sugar added), or yogurt to your meals or snacks.
Choose small, frequent meals to power your day
For some of us, when we skip meals (不吃饭) or eat too infrequently, our energy levels can fall so low that we may overeat at the next meal. 39 . For example, pair a lean protein, such as fish or chicken, with an unrefined carbohydrate, such as brown rice and the most important part, the vegetables!
40 . By making healthy choices in your diet and daily habits, you can enjoy steady vitality (活力). Follow these tips regularly to better manage your daily tasks.
A. Always have breakfast
B. Plan delicious breakfasts
C. Luckily, you have better choices for staying awake
D. Combine the tips above for success, and do them regularly
E. For lasting energy, eat unrefined carbs and fiber-rich foods
F. Staying energized throughout the day is vital for productivity and focus
G. Choosing the right snacks can be difficult when you are leading a busy life

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 always felt proud of my sharp tongue and clever replies, whether it was in class debates or casual arguments. So when it was time to represent my school in the national debate competition, I was naturally very confident. But this challenge would end up being one of the most important lessons in my life.
The run-up to the finals was a breeze (轻而易举的事) for my team. We were all good speakers, and we had the help of an experienced teacher who trained us well. But in the team, I was definitely the most outstanding speaker. In every round I took part in, I was always chosen as the best speaker. By the time we had only one week left to train before the finals, my confidence was higher than ever. I had no reason to even think that I wouldn’t be voted the overall best speaker in the whole debate competition.
But then I started to feel too proud. I looked down on my teammates’ weak arguments and poor debating methods. I thought I was a born debater, and their bad performance was holding me back. As a result, I became careless. I even began skipping practice sessions. This made my teammates really worried and my teacher very upset. They could only hope I would do well in the end, because they thought no one else could take my place.
The final competition day arrived. I almost walked with a skip to the place where the competition was held, ready to show off my great debating skills at last. But what actually happened was beyond my imagination. Because I had missed so many practices, our team worked together very badly. Even the students from our school who came to support us felt so embarrassed that they stayed quiet. There was a gap between team members. When it was my turn to make the final speech as the main speaker, the whole hall went quiet, waiting for me to speak. Everyone thought I would win the important title of "Overall Best Speaker".
