My long-distance cycling career of 13 years and 35,000 kilometres ended as I approached 75 in 2019. The realisation of this dawned on me slowly during my last ride in the US summer of that same year. Although I am now no longer strong enough to endure the long days and big climbs, day in and day out, I have my memories.
Long distance cycling brings pain, anxiety and exhaustion, but these pale into insignificance compared to the joy and satisfaction of climbing huge mountains or seeing spectacular sights for the first time. Real joy would come when I was alone, on my bicycle, in some remote and beautiful place. You could say that these same feelings could have been experienced in a car, but I know this not to be true. I had time to observe nature and life, all of which would have been bypassed in a car.
I enjoyed meeting and beating the daily schedule I had set for myself. I enjoyed the ever-changing vegetation, the people, kind, unkind and indifferent, whom I met along the way. No matter how hard or easy the ride was, I always enjoyed the achievement of arriving, followed by a hot shower and bed, when I could find a motel. On the other nights, I was happy to camp. Meeting a diversity of people with different perspectives on life was easy. The cycling devices allowed me to strike up conversations in pubs and cafes and I got to see and experience the very best in people.
The road ahead always loomed large, as did the mountains, the cold, the mosquitoes and the rain. The road behind is just memories, lack of pain and anxiety, some soon to be forgotten, others to be valued and boosted with the retelling.
Cycling taught me to like who I am. I am finally happy with and accepting of my introverted (内向的) personality. I have more persistence and courage than I ever imagined. These trips all required courage, courage which I never knew I possessed.

A. Financial problems.
B. Lack of interest in cycling.
C. Desire to pursue other hobbies.
D. Physical inability to bear long rides.
5. What was the real pleasure for the author

B. One could find a real self.
C. Introverted people could be sociable.
D. Communication with strangers helps a lot.
7. Where is the text most likely from

At Marine Mammal Laboratory, laboratory director Herman put a dolphin through its paces. Using hand signals, Herman asked, “Is the ball in the pool ” The dolphin correctly pressed a lever for “YES”. Herman asked it to push the ball to a basket. It did. Then he signaled his pupil to do it again, but he removed the basket. Herman expected the dolphin to be confused. Instead, it carried the ball to the NO lever and stopped there. Herman was astonished. “This is a totally untrained, invented response,” he said, “We never dreamed the animal would ‘think’ the problem through like that.”
To get a closer look at these amazing creatures, Herman and his team spent a week on board the Jennifer Marie. Whenever they heard the cry “Dolphins!” they slipped into the water. The dolphins approached, curious about them, observing them with dark, liquid eyes. Dolphins love to imitate. If they swam on their backs, Dolphins did too. If they dived, Dolphins followed. This talent can be carried to extraordinary lengths. In one instance, a trainer blew a puff of cigarette smoke against the window of an observation tank. A young dolphin rushed to its mother, nursed briefly, and spat out a cloud of milk against the glass.
Herman said “We’re still in the early stages of learning about the intelligence of these animals and our ability to communicate with them.” Scientists are amazed at dolphins’ intelligence, but fear for the future of these trusting ocean creatures.
Dolphins’ trouble could be sharks, killer whales or, worse yet, a fishing vessel. Indeed, in the past three decades, commercial fishing, especially the biggest threat—the drift net fishing, has greatly decreased the world’s dolphin population. Every night in the North Pacific, hundreds of Asian fishing vessels put out these “curtains of death,” each up to 50 miles long. Floating with the currents, they sweep up all sea life in their path. People wonder what the world would be without dolphins.
8. Why did the dolphin stop at the NO lever
A. It was confused. B. It was unable to do the task.
C. It refused to listen to the order. D. It found the basket wasn’t there.
9. Why did the dolphin spit out a cloud of milk against the glass
A. To copy human behavior. B. To threaten its playmate.
C. To show off its talent. D. To drive the trainer away.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Further research on dolphins is essential.
B. Intelligent Dolphins could tackle their troubles.
C. Some measures should be taken to protect dolphins.
D. Drift nets are the biggest trouble for marine animals.
11. What’s the best title for the text
A. Dolphins: clever, naughty B. Dolphins: intelligent, threatened
C. Dolphins: humans’ best friends D. Dolphins: smartest marine animals
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要列举了一项实验和一些事例说明海豚是十分聪明的动物，但是海豚如今面临商业捕鱼的威胁，数量大大减少。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Then he signaled his pupil to do it again, but he removed the basket. Herman expected the dolphin to be confused. Instead, it carried the ball to the NO lever and stopped there.(然后他示意他的学生再做一次，但他拿走了篮子。赫尔曼预计海豚会感到困惑。相反，它把球带到NO杆并停在那里)”可知，海豚停在NO控制杆因为它发现篮子不在那里。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“In one instance, a trainer blew a puff of cigarette smoke against the window of an observation tank. A young dolphin rushed to its mother, nursed briefly, and spat out a cloud of milk against the glass.(有一次，一名教练对着观察舱的窗户吹了一口烟。一只小海豚冲到妈妈身边，短暂地吃了一口奶，然后在玻璃上吐了一团奶)”可知，海豚对着玻璃吐了一团牛奶是为了模仿人类行为。故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dolphins’ trouble could be sharks, killer whales or, worse yet, a fishing vessel. Indeed, in the past three decades, commercial fishing, especially the biggest threat—the drift net fishing, has greatly decreased the world’s dolphin population. Every night in the North Pacific, hundreds of Asian fishing vessels put out these “curtains of death,” each up to 50 miles long. Floating with the currents, they sweep up all sea life in their path. People wonder what the world would be without dolphins.(海豚的麻烦可能是鲨鱼、虎鲸，或者更糟糕的是，一艘渔船。事实上，在过去的三十年里，商业捕鱼，尤其是最大的威胁——流网捕鱼，已经大大减少了世界上海豚的数量。每天晚上，在北太平洋，数百艘亚洲渔船都会挂上这些“死亡之幕”，每条长达50英里。它们随着水流漂浮，横扫沿途所有的海洋生物。人们想知道没有海豚的世界会是什么样子)”可推知，应该采取一些措施来保护海豚。故选C。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段“Herman said “We’re still in the early stages of learning about the intelligence of these animals and our ability to communicate with them.” Scientists are amazed at dolphins’ intelligence, but fear for the future of these trusting ocean creatures.(赫尔曼说:“我们仍处于了解这些动物的智力和我们与它们交流能力的早期阶段。”科学家们对海豚的智力感到惊讶，但对这些信任人类的海洋生物的未来感到担忧)”结合文章主要列举了一项实验和一些事例说明海豚是十分聪明的动物，但是海豚如今面临商业捕鱼的威胁，数量大大减少。可知，B选项“海豚：聪明，受威胁”最符合文章标题。故选B。
D
In a world where fire threatens more and more homes, scientists have developed a surprising type of material that might keep some buildings safer: thin sheets of fungi (真菌).
Underneath every mushroom is a branching network of root like structures called a mycelium (菌丝体). Now researchers have successfully grown these networks into pizza-size sheets that could act as a fire retardant in building materials, according to a new study in Polymer Degradation and Stability.
“Using a biological material like mycelium has enormous benefits”, says senior author Everson Kandare. Unlike asbestos, which is still sometimes added to building materials as a fire retardant, mycelium does not release poisonous compounds when exposed to fire. “When there is a building fire, it often isn’t the flame intensity or the heat that kills or injures people,” says Kandare, an engineer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. “It is the smoke and the poisonous metal that comes out of building materials.”
The new mycelium sheets grown into protective carpets up to a few millimeters thick, could prevent such building materials from burning in the first place. Mycelium contains a lot of carbon. When exposed to fire, the sheet briefly burns, releasing water and carbon dioxide into the air, leaving behind a black layer of carbon.
This study is the first to integrate these properties into a useful building material. Kandare suggests mycelium could replace the fire retardant foam (泡沫剂), which can produce CO and other poisonous products when it burns.
The RMIT team has been reaching out to mushroom farmers to see whether they could promote the technology for commercial use. Kandare says, “Mycelium can grow in the dark, which means its energy needs are relatively minimal. Even better, mycelium is a biological material, and any waste it leaves behind can be used as fertilizer.”
12. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase
A. Fire block. B. Fire signal. C. Fire alarm. D. Fire detection.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Components of protective carpets.
B. Process of growing mycelium sheets.
C. Environmental impact of the material.
D. Working principle of mycelium sheets.
14. What can we learn about the new material
A. It is widely used.
B. It contains enormous foam.
C. It’s resistant to high temperature.
D. It’s a safer option for construction.
15. What is Kandare’s attitude to mycelium’s future use
A. Contradictory. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.
【答案】12. A 13. D 14. D 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。文章主要讲述了科学家们开发出一种新型材料——真菌薄片，在建筑中作为防火材料。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第二段的“Underneath every mushroom is a branching network of root like structures called a mycelium. Now researchers have successfully grown these networks into pizza-size sheets that could act as a fire retardant in building materials(每个蘑菇的下面都有一个由根状结构组成的分支网络，叫做菌丝体。现在研究人员已经成功地将这些网络培育成披萨大小的薄片，可以作为建筑材料的fire retardant)”和第四段的“The new mycelium sheets, grown into protective carpets up to a few millimeters thick, could prevent such building materials from burning in the first place.(这种新的菌丝体薄片可以长成几毫米厚的保护性地毯，可以从一开始就防止这些建筑材料燃烧)”可知，这些薄片被添加建筑材料中的目的就是为了阻燃。由此可知，划线词fire retardant与A项的“Fire block (防火隔断材料)”同义。故选A。
【13题详解】
段落大意题。根据第四段的“The new mycelium sheets, grown into protective carpets up to a few millimeters thick, could prevent such building materials from burning in the first place. Mycelium contains a lot of carbon. When exposed to fire, the sheet briefly burns, releasing water and carbon dioxide into the air, leaving behind a black layer of carbon.(这种新的菌丝体薄片可以长成几毫米厚的保护性地毯，可以从一开始就防止这些建筑材料燃烧。菌丝含有大量的碳。当暴露在火中，床单会短暂燃烧，将水和二氧化碳释放到空气中，留下一层黑色的碳) ”可知，第四段的主要内容是菌丝片的工作原理。故选D。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段的“Unlike asbestos, which is still sometimes added to building materials as a fire retardant, mycelium does not release poisonous compounds when exposed to fire.(石棉有时仍被添加到建筑材料中作为阻燃剂，菌丝体与石棉不同的是，它在暴露于火中时不会释放有毒化合物)”可推知，新材料菌丝体是一个更安全的选择。故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段的“Mycelium can grow in the dark, which means its energy needs are relatively minimal. Even better, mycelium is a biological material, and any waste it leaves behind can be used as fertilizer.(菌丝体可以在黑暗中生长，这意味着它对能量的需求相对较少。更好的是，菌丝体是一种生物材料，它留下的任何废物都可以用作肥料)”可推知，坎达雷对菌丝体的未来持乐观态度。故选C。

40. generated
41. latest
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章介绍了心怀天下的袁隆平院士为解决人民温饱问题做出的巨大贡献。
【36题详解】
考查主语从句。句意：然而，他最担心的是农民经常歉收，粮食严重短缺。was为主句谓语，that引导表语从句；该空需要一个连接词引导主语从句，并指代事情在句中作主语，应填what。故填what。
【37题详解】
考查谓语动词时态语态。句意：袁隆平相信，可以在杂交水稻的创造中找到答案。所给动词convince为及物动词意为“使某人信服，说服”，该动词在句中作谓语，这里指袁隆平相信，不是袁隆平让别人相信，其被动语态be convinced可表示“相信”符合语境；根据上下文语境可知助动词be应使用过去式，单数。故填was convinced。
【38题详解】
考查时态。句意：通过艰苦的努力，袁隆平克服了巨大的技术困难，开发出了第一种杂交水稻。动词overcome在句中作谓语，与主语为主动关系，应使用主动语态；根据上文语境，句子讲述的是袁隆平先生在世时的事情，应使用一般过去时态。故填overcame。
【39题详解】
考查名词或非谓语动词。句意：如今，中国国内消费的大米中约有60%是由袁隆平培育的杂交品种生产的作物。分析句子about 60 percent of domestic rice为主语部分，所给动词consume可使用过去分词形式作后置定语修饰rice；所给动词也可转化为名词形式作介词of的宾语，rice作它的定语，这样句子也是语意通顺语法正确。故填consumption/consumed。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：如今，中国国内消费的大米中约有60%是由袁的杂交品种生产的作物。所给词generate为及物动词，意为“生成，产生（后代）”，在句中作后置定语修饰名词crops，这里指庄稼是由袁隆平培育的杂交水稻的种子种植而来的，crops与动词generate为被动关系，应使用过去分词形式。故填generated。
【41题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：他对“海水大米”的最新设想也已成为现实。所给形容词late在句中作定语修饰名词vision，根据句意，这里指袁隆平生前最后的即最晚的设想，应使用其最高级形式。故填latest。
第四部分 写作（共三节，满分46分）
第一节 英汉互译（共4小题，每小题1.5分，满分6分）
42. 人如其食。（汉译英）
【答案】You are what you eat.
【解析】
【详解】考查一般现在时和what引导的表语从句。该句在描述一个客观事实，所以句子用一般现在时；be动词are后面是what引导的表语从句，what起双重作用，既起引导作用，又作从句的宾语。故答案为You are what you eat。
43. 他让人把手柄去掉，这样它就用不成了。（汉译英）
【答案】He had the handle moved so that it could not be used.
【解析】
【详解】考查使役动词，非谓语动词，时态和目的状语从句。根据汉语句子分析，“他让人把手柄去掉”为主句，“这样它就用不成了”用目的状语从句表达。主句主语“他”用“he”表达；“让人把手柄去掉”可用“have sth done”结构表达，动词“have”在句子中作谓语动词，结合语境用过去时，动词用过去式“had”，“sth”为宾语“手柄”，用“the handle”表达，“去掉”用动词过去分词“moved”表达，过去分词作宾语补足语。因此，主句翻译为“He had the handle moved”。目的状语从句用“so that”引导，从句主语“它”用“it”表达；“用不成了”即“它不能被使用了”，用含有情态动词的被动结构表达：can not be done，结合主句为一般过去时，这里也用一般过去时，“can”用过去式形式“could”，“done”用“used”表达，因此从句翻译为“so that it could not be used”。故翻译为：He had the handle moved so that it could not be used.
44. Your lights will come out the instant you enter the door.(英译汉)
【答案】你一进家门，灯就会亮起。
【解析】
【详解】考查英译汉。主语为Your lights表示“灯”；will come out翻译为“亮起”，为一般将来时；the instant引导时间状语从句，表示“一……就……”；you enter the door翻译为“你进家门”，为一般现在时。故翻译为：你一进家门，灯就会亮起。
45. Body language varies from culture to culture. (英译汉)
【答案】不同文化有着不同的肢体语言。
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。body language为“肢体语言”，vary from...to...为“从……到……不等或不同”，culture为“文化”，故翻译为：不同文化有着不同的肢体语言。

第三节（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 a bad boy in a village in India. At least I was labeled that way because I had no interest in school or studies. I used bad language, hung around with other “bad” boys, skipped school and ran through the fields. No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. And I’d heard many people in our village talking. “Why bother going to school These kids end up back on the farms anyway. He’ll never amount to anything.” My parents and teachers were disappointed with my average marks.
My mother envisioned a different future and knew the value of education to create a better life. By the time I entered the 12th grade, I had taken a good look at myself and realized the life I was creating. The bad boy image troubled me. I didn’t believe I was a bad boy. I didn’t want to be a bad boy. These realizations forced me to acknowledge that my mother was right — education was my only way out. I worked hard to finish my high school, and then I decided to apply for higher education in university. But this village bad boy faced too many challenges.
Firstly, my family had very limited money. In addition to that, my grades were not good. There was very little chance I’d gain admission to a university. Still, I took a chance and applied. The last day of admissions, I visited the university to check my result. I looked down the list, and there it was, “Parashram J. Patil”. Finally, I’d been admitted. Now, it was the last day to pay, so I had to find money to cover my fees.

Helpless, I sat outside the department head—Professor Parth’s office.

From then on, things changed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】One possible version
Helpless, I sat outside the department head—Professor Parth’s office. Head held in my hands, I contained my tears, thinking that my dreams of higher education would finish there. Perhaps my teachers and the whole village were right. “I wouldn’t amount to anything.” Seeing me sitting there sad, Professor Parth invited me in. When he heard the situation of mine, Professor Parth remained silent for a while. Then he promised to lend me money to pay the fees, believing I could have a bright future. I felt too grateful to say a word.
From then on, things changed. I was able to shake off the bad boy image. Everyone in the university had a purpose. Being in that atmosphere forced me to think bigger. Every time I was stuck in a difficult situation, Professor Parth’s encouraging words would echo in my mind. It was his kindness and faith in me that inspired me to go on. He helped a bad village boy turn his life around. Sometimes, kindness may be powerful enough to make a real difference.

My long-distance cycling career of 13 years and 35,000 kilometres ended as I approached 75 in 2019. The realisation of this dawned on me slowly during my last ride in the US summer of that same year. Although I am now no longer strong enough to endure the long days and big climbs, day in and day out, I have my memories.
Long distance cycling brings pain, anxiety and exhaustion, but these pale into insignificance compared to the joy and satisfaction of climbing huge mountains or seeing spectacular sights for the first time. Real joy would come when I was alone, on my bicycle, in some remote and beautiful place. You could say that these same feelings could have been experienced in a car, but I know this not to be true. I had time to observe nature and life, all of which would have been bypassed in a car.
I enjoyed meeting and beating the daily schedule I had set for myself. I enjoyed the ever-changing vegetation, the people, kind, unkind and indifferent, whom I met along the way. No matter how hard or easy the ride was, I always enjoyed the achievement of arriving, followed by a hot shower and bed, when I could find a motel. On the other nights, I was happy to camp. Meeting a diversity of people with different perspectives on life was easy. The cycling devices allowed me to strike up conversations in pubs and cafes and I got to see and experience the very best in people.
The road ahead always loomed large, as did the mountains, the cold, the mosquitoes and the rain. The road behind is just memories, lack of pain and anxiety, some soon to be forgotten, others to be valued and boosted with the retelling.
Cycling taught me to like who I am. I am finally happy with and accepting of my introverted (内向的) personality. I have more persistence and courage than I ever imagined. These trips all required courage, courage which I never knew I possessed.
4. What made the author end his cycling career
A. Financial problems.
B. Lack of interest in cycling.
C. Desire to pursue other hobbies.
D Physical inability to bear long rides.
5. What was the real pleasure for the author
A. Meeting different people. B. Beating the daily schedule.
C. Experiencing nature up close. D. Climbing huge mountains.
6. What special insight did the author gain through cycling
A. Nature deserves exploring.
B. One could find a real self.
C. Introverted people could be sociable.
D. Communication with strangers helps a lot.
7. Where is the text most likely from
A. A magazine. B. A brochure. C. A novel. D. A manual.

At Marine Mammal Laboratory, laboratory director Herman put a dolphin through its paces. Using hand signals, Herman asked, “Is the ball in the pool ” The dolphin correctly pressed a lever for “YES”. Herman asked it to push the ball to a basket. It did. Then he signaled his pupil to do it again, but he removed the basket. Herman expected the dolphin to be confused. Instead, it carried the ball to the NO lever and stopped there. Herman was astonished. “This is a totally untrained, invented response,” he said, “We never dreamed the animal would ‘think’ the problem through like that.”
To get a closer look at these amazing creatures, Herman and his team spent a week on board the Jennifer Marie. Whenever they heard the cry “Dolphins!” they slipped into the water. The dolphins approached, curious about them, observing them with dark, liquid eyes. Dolphins love to imitate. If they swam on their backs, Dolphins did too. If they dived, Dolphins followed. This talent can be carried to extraordinary lengths. In one instance, a trainer blew a puff of cigarette smoke against the window of an observation tank. A young dolphin rushed to its mother, nursed briefly, and spat out a cloud of milk against the glass.
Herman said “We’re still in the early stages of learning about the intelligence of these animals and our ability to communicate with them.” Scientists are amazed at dolphins’ intelligence, but fear for the future of these trusting ocean creatures.
Dolphins’ trouble could be sharks, killer whales or, worse yet, a fishing vessel. Indeed, in the past three decades, commercial fishing, especially the biggest threat—the drift net fishing, has greatly decreased the world’s dolphin population. Every night in the North Pacific, hundreds of Asian fishing vessels put out these “curtains of death,” each up to 50 miles long. Floating with the currents, they sweep up all sea life in their path. People wonder what the world would be without dolphins.
8. Why did the dolphin stop at the NO lever
A. It was confused. B. It was unable to do the task.
C. It refused to listen to the order. D. It found the basket wasn’t there.
9. Why did the dolphin spit out a cloud of milk against the glass
A To copy human behavior. B. To threaten its playmate.
C. To show off its talent. D. To drive the trainer away.
10. What can we infer from the last paragraph
A. Further research on dolphins is essential.
B. Intelligent Dolphins could tackle their troubles.
C. Some measures should be taken to protect dolphins.
D. Drift nets are the biggest trouble for marine animals.
11 What’s the best title for the text
A. Dolphins: clever, naughty B. Dolphins: intelligent, threatened
C. Dolphins: humans’ best friends D. Dolphins: smartest marine animals
D
In a world where fire threatens more and more homes, scientists have developed a surprising type of material that might keep some buildings safer: thin sheets of fungi (真菌).
Underneath every mushroom is a branching network of root like structures called a mycelium (菌丝体). Now researchers have successfully grown these networks into pizza-size sheets that could act as a fire retardant in building materials, according to a new study in Polymer Degradation and Stability.
“Using a biological material like mycelium has enormous benefits”, says senior author Everson Kandare. Unlike asbestos, which is still sometimes added to building materials as a fire retardant, mycelium does not release poisonous compounds when exposed to fire. “When there is a building fire, it often isn’t the flame intensity or the heat that kills or injures people,” says Kandare, an engineer at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. “It is the smoke and the poisonous metal that comes out of building materials.”
The new mycelium sheets, grown into protective carpets up to a few millimeters thick, could prevent such building materials from burning in the first place. Mycelium contains a lot of carbon. When exposed to fire, the sheet briefly burns, releasing water and carbon dioxide into the air, leaving behind a black layer of carbon.
This study is the first to integrate these properties into a useful building material. Kandare suggests mycelium could replace the fire retardant foam (泡沫剂), which can produce CO and other poisonous products when it burns.
The RMIT team has been reaching out to mushroom farmers to see whether they could promote the technology for commercial use. Kandare says, “Mycelium can grow in the dark, which means its energy needs are relatively minimal. Even better, mycelium is a biological material, and any waste it leaves behind can be used as fertilizer.”
12. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase
A. Fire block. B. Fire signal. C. Fire alarm. D. Fire detection.
13. What is paragraph 4 mainly about
A. Components of protective carpets.
B. Process of growing mycelium sheets.
C. Environmental impact of the material.
D. Working principle of mycelium sheets.
14. What can we learn about the new material
A. It is widely used.
B. It contains enormous foam.
C. It’s resistant to high temperature.
D. It’s a safer option for construction.
15. What is Kandare’s attitude to mycelium’s future use
A. Contradictory. B. Doubtful. C. Optimistic. D. Cautious.

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 a bad boy in a village in India. At least I was labeled that way because I had no interest in school or studies. I used bad language, hung around with other “bad” boys, skipped school and ran through the fields. No one thought I would do anything worthwhile with my life. And I’d heard many people in our village talking. “Why bother going to school These kids end up back on the farms anyway. He’ll never amount to anything.” My parents and teachers were disappointed with my average marks.
My mother envisioned a different future and knew the value of education to create a better life. By the time I entered the 12th grade, I had taken a good look at myself and realized the life I was creating. The bad boy image troubled me. I didn’t believe I was a bad boy. I didn’t want to be a bad boy. These realizations forced me to acknowledge that my mother was right — education was my only way out. I worked hard to finish my high school, and then I decided to apply for higher education in university. But this village bad boy faced too many challenges.
Firstly, my family had very limited money. In addition to that, my grades were not good. There was very little chance I’d gain admission to a university. Still, I took a chance and applied. The last day of admissions, I visited the university to check my result. I looked down the list, and there it was, “Parashram J. Patil”. Finally, I’d been admitted. Now, it was the last day to pay, so I had to find money to cover my fees.
