The museum first appeared in human civilization 2,500 years ago，which has been keeping reinventing itself to become an interactive cultural center.Here are some of the museums worth visiting.It’s time to decide your next travel destination.
The Musée du Louvre，Paris
It is the world’s largest art museum and a historical landmark of Paris.Housed in the Louvre Palace，the museum has been extended many times since its opening in 1793.Its eye-catching glass pyramid in the main courtyard was designed by Ieoh Ming Pei，a Chinese American architect，and it later became a symbol of the museum.
Metropolitan Museum of Art，New York
Commonly known as the Met，the museum is among the must-visit attractions in New York.It stands on the eastern edge of Central Park.The Met maintains extensive holdings of African，Asian，Oceanian and Byzantine art.Every May，the museum holds the luxurious，blockbuster Met Gala，grabbing global attention like the Oscars.
National Museum of China，Beijing
Near Tian’anmen Square in Beijing，it’s one of the largest museums in the world and the second most visited art museum in the world，just after the Louvre.Covering a time span from 1.7 million years ago to the Qing Dynasty，the museum boasts around 1.05 million items—and many cannot be found in museums elsewhere.
Vatican Museums，the Vatican City

I began writing when I was in high school.Life was relatively normal until the last year when my older brother died of a rare disease.I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees，and how words might fill my life blanks.Writing was all I had.Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain.
Then graduation came.After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold，I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college.With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience，I got admitted.I published my first piece in the student literary magazine.I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married.My poems got published often，and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well.I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family.With much regret，I resigned(辞职) as a small-press poetry editor，left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks.I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood.
My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do：writing poems.I dug out the notebooks，edited and re-edited.Dusty drafts changed with time into poems.It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems，I was a poet and life itself was poetry.
So why do I write poems Because I have to.It’s the first light of my day，my lifeline，and I won’t let it go.

A．Poetry mirrors life.
B．Time heals all wounds.
C．Fortune prefers the creative.
D．Polishing makes a good poem.
27．Which of the following might be the best title of the text

B．Lifelong Dawn：My Poetry Writing Journey
C．Reaching Dreams：From Housewife to Poet
D．Dramatic Change：Writing in Retiring Years

Seafood That Never Sees the Sea
Although 80% of the world’s seafood comes from marine harvests，there is a major shift underway toward aquaculture(水产养殖业) now.Nearly 40% of salmon marketed today is raised in fish farms，compared with 6% a decade ago.Almost 35% of all oysters are produced in farm environments，along with 65% of freshwater fish.“The fact that world seafood supplies continue to increase at all is due almost entirely to the phenomenal growth in aquaculture，” says Anne Platt McGinn，a research associate at the Worldwatch Institute.
Biotechnology is contributing to high-yield aquaculture through transgenics—the transfer of genes from one species to another.Researchers introduce advantageous genetic features into fish，creating stronger stocks.For example，some species of fish have a protein that allows them to live in Arctic waters.By transplanting this “anti-freeze” gene into other species，researchers have created more fish that can survive in extremely cold water.Biotechnologists are attempting to improve a wide range of genetic features in fish used for aquaculture，developing fish that are larger and faster-growing，more efficient in changing feed into muscle，more tolerant of low oxygen levels in water，and better able to resist disease.
While aquaculture produces a reliable source of protein，there are a lot of environmental problems in the industry，claims McGinn.Perhaps the biggest concern is water pollution.Fish waste and uneaten food accumulate at farm sites and can float directly downstream into water supplies.McGinn charges that aquaculture also uses resources inefficiently.Fish farms need protein feed，and about 17% of ocean fish，an overharvested wild resource，becomes food for farm-raised fish.“An estimated five kilograms of oceanic fish reduced into fish meal are required to raise one kilogram of farmed ocean fish or shrimp，representing a large net protein loss，” says McGinn.
Fish farming does not have to be an inefficient or polluting industry.McGinn predicts that many consumers will choose sustainably produced fish in the future，just as they prefer dolphin-safe tuna(金枪鱼) today.
28．What can we infer from paragraph 1
A．Nearly 80% of the world’s seafood is sourced from marine harvests.
B．The aquaculture undergoes minor changes within the recent decade.
C．Most of the seafood people consume is supplied by fish farms today.
D．The increase in aquaculture brings about the rise of world seafood supplies.
29．How do biotechnologists promote the high production of seafood
A．They create even larger and faster-growing fish.
B．They make use of the technology of transgenics.
C．They introduce a variety of genetic features into fish.
D．They transplant “anti-freeze” genes into other species.
30．What is one of the problems caused by present seafood industry
A．It fails to provide a reliable source of protein.
B．It reduces the wild resource for farm-raised fish.
C．It leads to the over-consumption of oceanic fish.
D．It causes great water pollution downstream only.
31．What does McGinn mean by saying “just as they prefer dolphin-safe tuna today”？
A．Fish farming can be improved to be eco-friendly.
B．Aquaculture is a very serious polluting industry.
C．Most consumers are against the present fish farming.
D．Dolphin-free tuna is consumers’ favourite fish meal.
D
Over the past decade or so，camera technology has become more and more integrated into our everyday lives.We use our phone camera to store memories and important information，and cameras help keep people safe while driving.Parallel parking is so much easier now that cars come with rearview cameras.
However，up until now，cameras have also been limited.Wide field of vision cameras have been around since 2013，but these cameras only have a 180 degree field of vision，and can be clumsy.They work by essentially merging images coming from two or more cameras.This can lead to distortions(失真)．In addition，using the cameras underwater also leads to distortion as light refracts differently underwater.
According to Fast Company，the researchers turned to nature for inspiration.They began by studying the fiddler crab and its compound eye.Unlike humans，fiddler crabs can look in many directions at the same time，giving them a full 360 degree field of vision.In addition，fiddler crabs need to be able to see well both on land and in water.
Dr Fredo Durand，a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory，told Laser Focus World: “Amphibian creatures are particularly exciting because they need to operate in two environments with vastly different optical characteristics.It’s humbling to learn from nature how to address these challenges.”
The result is a little black round ball of a camera that interprets and understands light in various ways.The scientists tested the camera’s capabilities by projecting a group of images onto the camera at different angles.They also immersed the camera halfway in a tub to test its underwater capabilities.It passed with flying colors.
Though the camera is still in the early stages of its development and is not ready for commercial use，the hope is that it will eventually be used to help make cars safer by improving camera quality in general and improving camera capabilities in the rain.
32．Which is a limitation of the wide field of vision cameras
A．They can only be used underwater.
B．They occupy too much space.
C．They consist of only two cameras.
D．They cover a limited field of vision.
33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The surprising adaptability of the fiddler crab.
B．The advantages of the fiddler crab’s compound eye.
C．The way of carrying out research into creatures.
D．The possibility of having a 360 degree field of vision.
34．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “immersed” in paragraph 5
A．Designed. B．Repaired.
C．Drowned. D．Abandoned.
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the camera
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear. D．Carefree.
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Writing a poem is about observing the world within or around you. 36 Writing poetry seems difficult.However，with the right approach，you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others.
Pick a specific theme or idea.This can make it easier for you to narrow down what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem.For example，you may decide to write a poem around the theme of love and friendship. 37
Avoid cliché(陈词滥调)．Your poetry will be much stronger if you avoid clichés，which are phrases that have become so familiar that they have lost their meaning. 38 By doing so，your reader is surprised and attracted by your writing.If you feel a certain phrase or image is too familiar to your reader，replace it with a more unique one.
39 Poetry is made to be read out loud.So you should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page.Pay attention to the structure of your poem and your word choice.Notice how each line of your poem flows into one another and how placing one word next to another creates a certain sound.
Get feedback(反馈) from others.You can also share your poem with other poets to get feedback from them and improve your poem. 40 Or you may take a poetry writing class，where you work with an instructor and other poets to improve your writing.
A．Write for the ear.
B．Do writing exercises.
C．Go for creative descriptions and images in your poem.
D．A poem can be about anything，from love to the gate at the old farm.
E．Strong emotional moments make for beautiful and interesting poems.
F．Then you may think about the moments where you experienced them.
G．You may join a poetry writing group where you discuss your poem with others.

第二节　(满分25分)
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 chattering and noises of the audience—something that hadn’t been there during rehearsal.I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared.Everyone was on edge(紧张不安)，anxious，and worried.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 edgy everyone became.The worries bounced from one 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 buzzing with 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 in my bedroom 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个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
No one commented on my missed sentence—apart from my drama teacher.

M：Good afternoon! My name’s Carl and I work for one of the major companies in the High Street. I’ve been with them for about 13 years.People often ask me why I decided to do this job.As a young man，I loved traveling and worked for a while as a salesman in Spain.When I came back to stay within the travel industry，my experience of working in tourist centres abroad helped me to get this job. I have to admit that one of the main reasons I wanted to be a travel agent was that we get cheap flights and holidays.It’s a great advantage! Basically I’m a salesperson.I advise people on the holiday choices available to them.You know，different destinations，types of holiday，ways to get there，and so on.When a customer has decided what he wants，I book it for them and make any other arrangements they may need，such as car hire or tours.My duty doesn’t end there，though.If my customers are flying， I need to tell them what time they have to check in，and make sure they know what time they will be arriving.I also give information on likely weather conditions and anything else I think will be useful for them.

I began writing when I was in high school.Life was relatively normal until the last year when my older brother died of a rare disease.I locked myself in the high-ceiled classrooms and spent hours trying to figure out the shades of green in trees，and how words might fill my life blanks.Writing was all I had.Poetry got me out of bed at dawn and cured my pain.
Then graduation came.After learning that to be a proper housewife was all the future I would hold，I boarded the city bus to the next state and announced I wanted to go to college.With no money but excellent academic performance and student editor experience，I got admitted.I published my first piece in the student literary magazine.I wrote and kept writing till I landed a job and got married.My poems got published often，and won small but significant awards until I discovered I couldn’t do two things at once and do both well.I would either write full time and starve or work full time and invest in family.With much regret，I resigned(辞职) as a small-press poetry editor，left my works on the shelves and only wrote occasionally in spare notebooks.I started every new year in expectation of a comeback because poems were in my blood.
My retiring years found me resolved to regain the only thing I had always wanted to do：writing poems.I dug out the notebooks，edited and re-edited.Dusty drafts changed with time into poems.It dawned on me that I never stopped writing poems，I was a poet and life itself was poetry.
So why do I write poems Because I have to.It’s the first light of my day，my lifeline，and I won’t let it go.

Seafood That Never Sees the Sea
Although 80% of the world’s seafood comes from marine harvests，there is a major shift underway toward aquaculture(水产养殖业) now.Nearly 40% of salmon marketed today is raised in fish farms，compared with 6% a decade ago.Almost 35% of all oysters are produced in farm environments，along with 65% of freshwater fish.“The fact that world seafood supplies continue to increase at all is due almost entirely to the phenomenal growth in aquaculture，” says Anne Platt McGinn，a research associate at the Worldwatch Institute.
Biotechnology is contributing to high-yield aquaculture through transgenics—the transfer of genes from one species to another.Researchers introduce advantageous genetic features into fish，creating stronger stocks.For example，some species of fish have a protein that allows them to live in Arctic waters.By transplanting this “anti-freeze” gene into other species，researchers have created more fish that can survive in extremely cold water.Biotechnologists are attempting to improve a wide range of genetic features in fish used for aquaculture，developing fish that are larger and faster-growing，more efficient in changing feed into muscle，more tolerant of low oxygen levels in water，and better able to resist disease.
While aquaculture produces a reliable source of protein，there are a lot of environmental problems in the industry，claims McGinn.Perhaps the biggest concern is water pollution.Fish waste and uneaten food accumulate at farm sites and can float directly downstream into water supplies.McGinn charges that aquaculture also uses resources inefficiently.Fish farms need protein feed，and about 17% of ocean fish，an overharvested wild resource，becomes food for farm-raised fish.“An estimated five kilograms of oceanic fish reduced into fish meal are required to raise one kilogram of farmed ocean fish or shrimp，representing a large net protein loss，” says McGinn.
Fish farming does not have to be an inefficient or polluting industry.McGinn predicts that many consumers will choose sustainably produced fish in the future，just as they prefer dolphin-safe tuna(金枪鱼) today.
28．What can we infer from paragraph 1
A．Nearly 80% of the world’s seafood is sourced from marine harvests.
B．The aquaculture undergoes minor changes within the recent decade.
C．Most of the seafood people consume is supplied by fish farms today.
D．The increase in aquaculture brings about the rise of world seafood supplies.
答案　D
解析　推理判断题。根据第一段的“‘The fact that world seafood supplies continue to increase at all is due almost entirely to the phenomenal growth in aquaculture，’ says Anne Platt McGinn，a research associate at the Worldwatch Institute.”可推断出，水产养殖业的发展带来了世界海产品供应的增加。故选D。
29．How do biotechnologists promote the high production of seafood
A．They create even larger and faster-growing fish.
B．They make use of the technology of transgenics.
C．They introduce a variety of genetic features into fish.
D．They transplant “anti-freeze” genes into other species.
答案　B
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段的“Biotechnology is contributing to high-yield aquaculture through transgenics—the transfer of genes from one species to another.”可知，生物技术专家利用转基因技术来实现海产品的高产。故选B。
30．What is one of the problems caused by present seafood industry
A．It fails to provide a reliable source of protein.
B．It reduces the wild resource for farm-raised fish.
C．It leads to the over-consumption of oceanic fish.
D．It causes great water pollution downstream only.
答案　C
解析　细节理解题。根据第三段的“Fish farms need protein feed，and about 17% of ocean fish，an overharvested wild resource，becomes food for farm-raised fish.”可知，目前海产品产业造成的问题之一是它导致对海洋鱼类的过度消费。故选C。
31．What does McGinn mean by saying “just as they prefer dolphin-safe tuna today”？
A．Fish farming can be improved to be eco-friendly.
B．Aquaculture is a very serious polluting industry.
C．Most consumers are against the present fish farming.
D．Dolphin-free tuna is consumers’ favourite fish meal.
答案　A
解析　句意理解题。根据最后一段可知，McGinn认为养鱼业不一定是一个效率低下或污染严重的行业，并预测消费者会选择环保养殖的鱼类，所以用消费者更喜欢吃对海豚友好的金枪鱼举例是说明养鱼业也可以改进为生态友好型产业。故选A。
D
Over the past decade or so，camera technology has become more and more integrated into our everyday lives.We use our phone camera to store memories and important information，and cameras help keep people safe while driving.Parallel parking is so much easier now that cars come with rearview cameras.
However，up until now，cameras have also been limited.Wide field of vision cameras have been around since 2013，but these cameras only have a 180 degree field of vision，and can be clumsy.They work by essentially merging images coming from two or more cameras.This can lead to distortions(失真)．In addition，using the cameras underwater also leads to distortion as light refracts differently underwater.
According to Fast Company，the researchers turned to nature for inspiration.They began by studying the fiddler crab and its compound eye.Unlike humans，fiddler crabs can look in many directions at the same time，giving them a full 360 degree field of vision.In addition，fiddler crabs need to be able to see well both on land and in water.
Dr Fredo Durand，a professor of electrical engineering and computer science at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory，told Laser Focus World: “Amphibian creatures are particularly exciting because they need to operate in two environments with vastly different optical characteristics.It’s humbling to learn from nature how to address these challenges.”
The result is a little black round ball of a camera that interprets and understands light in various ways.The scientists tested the camera’s capabilities by projecting a group of images onto the camera at different angles.They also immersed the camera halfway in a tub to test its underwater capabilities.It passed with flying colors.
Though the camera is still in the early stages of its development and is not ready for commercial use，the hope is that it will eventually be used to help make cars safer by improving camera quality in general and improving camera capabilities in the rain.
语篇解读　本文为一篇说明文。研究人员从自然界中寻找灵感，研究并开发了一款新相机，可以用来提高相机的整体性能。
32．Which is a limitation of the wide field of vision cameras
A．They can only be used underwater.
B．They occupy too much space.
C．They consist of only two cameras.
D．They cover a limited field of vision.
答案　D
解析　细节理解题。根据第二段关键句“Wide field of vision cameras have been around since 2013，but these cameras only have a 180 degree field of vision，and can be clumsy.”可知，宽视野相机早在2013年就已出现，但这些相机只有180度的视野。故选D。
33．What is paragraph 3 mainly about
A．The surprising adaptability of the fiddler crab.
B．The advantages of the fiddler crab’s compound eye.
C．The way of carrying out research into creatures.
D．The possibility of having a 360 degree field of vision.
答案　B
解析　段落大意题。根据第三段的内容“研究人员从大自然中寻找灵感。他们开始研究招潮蟹和它的复眼。与人类不同的是，招潮蟹可以同时看向多个方向，这让它们拥有360度的视野。此外，招潮蟹需要在陆地和水中都有很好的视力”可知，该段主要描述了招潮蟹复眼的优点。故选B。
34．Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “immersed” in paragraph 5
A．Designed. B．Repaired.
C．Drowned. D．Abandoned.
答案　C
解析　词义猜测题。根据倒数第二段画线词所在句“They also immersed the camera halfway in a tub to test its underwater capabilities.”可知，为了测试相机的水下能力，要将相机浸泡在水中，immerse与drown意思最接近。故选C。
35．What is the author’s attitude towards the camera
A．Positive. B．Doubtful.
C．Unclear. D．Carefree.
答案　A
解析　观点态度题。根据最后一段“虽然这款相机仍处于开发的早期阶段，还没有准备好投入商业使用，但人们希望它最终能通过提高相机的整体质量和提高雨天的相机性能，来帮助提高汽车的安全性”可知，作者对这款相机持赞同的态度。故选A。
第二节　(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Writing a poem is about observing the world within or around you. 36 Writing poetry seems difficult.However，with the right approach，you can write a poem that you can be proud to share with others.
Pick a specific theme or idea.This can make it easier for you to narrow down what images and descriptions you are going to use in your poem.For example，you may decide to write a poem around the theme of love and friendship. 37
Avoid cliché(陈词滥调)．Your poetry will be much stronger if you avoid clichés，which are phrases that have become so familiar that they have lost their meaning. 38 By doing so，your reader is surprised and attracted by your writing.If you feel a certain phrase or image is too familiar to your reader，replace it with a more unique one.
39 Poetry is made to be read out loud.So you should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page.Pay attention to the structure of your poem and your word choice.Notice how each line of your poem flows into one another and how placing one word next to another creates a certain sound.
Get feedback(反馈) from others.You can also share your poem with other poets to get feedback from them and improve your poem. 40 Or you may take a poetry writing class，where you work with an instructor and other poets to improve your writing.
A．Write for the ear.
B．Do writing exercises.
C．Go for creative descriptions and images in your poem.
D．A poem can be about anything，from love to the gate at the old farm.

F．Then you may think about the moments where you experienced them.
G．You may join a poetry writing group where you discuss your poem with others.
36．答案　D
解析　首段属于总起段落，前文指出写诗是关于观察内外部世界，后文描述诗歌写作似乎很难，空处应与主题衔接紧密。D项“A poem can be about anything，from love to the gate at the old farm.”概括描述诗歌可以关于任何内容，符合语境，故选D。
37．答案　F
解析　前文“For example，you may decide to write a poem around the theme of love and friendship.”提出了一个选题，这是写诗的第一步，由此推知，设空句应是接着讲述下一步。选项F“Then you may think about the moments where you experienced them.”讲对该选题的思考，符合语境，选项中“Then”使得该句与前文构成顺序关系，“them”则指代前文的“love and friendship”。故选F。
38．答案　C
解析　后文“By doing so，your reader is surprised and attracted by your writing.”讲到了某一做法的效果，由此推知，设空句应是讲述了这一做法。选项C“Go for creative descriptions and images in your poem.”建议使用创造性的描述和形象，符合语境，且呼应本段主旨句“Avoid cliché(陈词滥调)．”。故选C。
39．答案　A
解析　设空处为本段主旨句。根据后文“Poetry is made to be read out loud.So you should write your poem with a focus on how it sounds on the page.”可知，本段强调了诗歌是用来读的，即要为听而写。选项A“Write for the ear.”贴合本段主旨。故选A。
40．答案　G
解析　前文“You can also share your poem...your poem.”讲到你也可以与其他诗人分享你的诗，从他们那里得到反馈，选项G“You may join a poetry writing group where you discuss your poem with others.”承接前文，同时与后文“Or you may take a poetry writing class...”构成并列选择关系。故选G。

In 1870，when Dickens died，the world mourned him as 60. (it) first professional writer and publisher，famous and beloved,61. had led an explosion in both the publication of novels and their readership.Today Dickens’ greatness is unchallenged.62.____________(remove) him from the pantheon(万神殿) of English literature would make about as much sense as the Louvre selling off the Mona Lisa.

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 chattering and noises of the audience—something that hadn’t been there during rehearsal.I looked around at the other more experienced actors and saw that the confidence they’d shown at rehearsal seemed to have disappeared.Everyone was on edge(紧张不安)，anxious，and worried.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 edgy everyone became.The worries bounced from one 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 buzzing with 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 in my bedroom 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个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
No one commented on my missed sentence—apart from my drama teacher.
参考范文
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.What should I do I chose to carry on，but when I finished and left the stage my hands felt sweaty and my heart was racing.I didn’t think about what I had achieved—performing my first solo part in a major production.Instead I was beating myself up for the sentence that I’d missed.The audience，of course，didn’t know I had missed a sentence.They made no gasps of horror，sounds of rebuke，or peals of laughter at my mistake.My fellow actors had just carried on as though nothing had happened and，after the play had finished，they were so busy talking about their own performances.
No one commented on my missed sentence—apart from my drama teacher.“Well done，” she said.“Acting is like learning to ride a bike.You may not get it perfect the first time.You may fall a few times，yet each time you get back on you do it better.Your performance may not have been perfect but，for your first time，it was great.” What my teacher said inspired me to a great extent.I realized that even amidst the tension and worry，I had delivered a memorable performance.With newfound confidence，I eagerly awaited the next opportunity.
