Ricky lived in a lovely, futuristic house, which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, off it went, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and—most importantly—gathering up clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.
In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two things did not reappear. The same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky began to suspect the robot. He planned to spy on the robot, and began following it around the house. Finally he caught it on the spot, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.
Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot, and it cooked like a dream.
One day, the robot was whirring past, and heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys, and some clothes for him.
“Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you, ” said the robot.
“How could it not, you thief! You’ve been stealing my belongings for weeks!” the boy answered angrily.
“The objects were left on the floor. I therefore calculated that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to people who can use it. I am a maximum efficiency machine. Were you unaware ” the robot said, with a certain pride.
Ricky started feeling ashamed. He understood that the robot was neither broken nor misprogrammed. Rather, it had been programmed extremely well!
Since then, Ricky has decided to become a “Maximum Efficiency Boy”, and put real care into how he treated his things. He kept them tidy, and made sure he didn’t have more than what was necessary. And, often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.
4. What is the robot meant to do
A. Do the housework. B. Take care of children.
C. Provide security services. D. Recycle used objects.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A. The robot dreamed of being a cook. B. The robot was good at cooking.
C. The robot could serve as a cooker. D. The robot found it unrealistic to cook.
6. Why did Ricky get mad at the robot
A. He mistook it as a thief. B. He disliked the way it cleaned his room.
C. He thought it was making too much noise. D. He felt less loved by his parents since its arrival.
7. Where does the text probably come from
A. A science report. B. A science fiction story.
C. An entertainment magazine. D. A commercial advertisement.

Located within the beautiful landscape of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that poses a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is none other than a giant floating island. The island, composed of plants and trees, occasionally floats around the lake, causing a significant inconvenience by blocking a vital bridge. Later, the local people proposed a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was transformed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blows, moving the entire floating mass around the lake.
Although the decades-old floating island does not relocate constantly, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the vital bridge that serves as the sole passage between the lake’s East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a fleet of boats, and not just one or two,but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision, as merely relocating (重新迁移) it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested blowing up the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for decades, and in that time a wealth of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local authorities prefer they be dealt with in a way that won’t negatively impact wildlife, highlighting the delicate balance between human convenience and environmental conservation. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of humanity and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique habitats that enrich our world.
8. What does the underlined word “solution” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Building a new bridge. B. Transforming the vast bog.
C. Moving the floating island away. D. Reconstructing the local community.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The form action of the floating island.
B. The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.
C. The abundance of species in Lake Chippewa.
D. The impact of the wind on the floating island.
10. What do we know about the relocation work from paragraph 3
A. It is usually finished within days.
B. It can only be carried out during windless days.
C. It is demanding in cooperation and precision.
D. It greatly disturbs the community residents’ lives.
11. Why have the local authorities refused to blow up the island
A. To save costs for local people.
B. To ensure the safety of residents.
C. To increase the bond between communities.
D. To protect the wildlife species on the island.
D
Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best at a right length. A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer's disease were taken into account.
“Our study suggests that there is a middle range, or ‘sweet spot’, for total sleep time where cognitive performance is stable over time. Short and long sleep time is associated with worse cognitive performance,” said first author Brendan Lucey, an associate professor of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center. “An unanswered question is if we can intervene to improve sleep, would that have a positive effect on their cognitive performance so they no longer decline We need more further data to answer this question.”
Lucey and colleagues turned to volunteers who participate in Alzheimer's studies through the university's Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center. Such volunteers experienced annual clinical and cognitive assessments, and provided a blood sample to be tested. For this study, each participant slept with a tiny EEG monitor attached to their heads for four to six nights to measure their brain activities during sleep.
The researchers found a U-shaped relationship between sleep and cognitive decline. Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.
The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep phases, including rapid-eye movement (REM), or dreaming sleep and non-REM sleep. Moreover, the same is true even after adjusting for factors that can affect both sleep and cognition, such as age, sex, levels of Alzheimer's proteins. “It was particularly interesting to see that not only those with short amounts of sleep but also those with long amounts of sleep had more cognitive decline,” said Professor Beau M. Ances.
“Each person's sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits,” said co-senior author David Holtzman, MD. “But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated.”
12. What's the passage mainly about
A. The effects of Alzheimer's disease. B. The benefits of best sleep.
C. The influence of sleep time on cognition. D. The good things in life.
13. According to the passage, which sleep time is suitable
A. 4 hours. B. 6 hours.
C. 7 hours. D. 7. 5 hours.
14. What can we know about U-shaped relationship
A. The sleep time has no connection with cognitive scores.
B. The longer sleep time is, the higher cognitive scores are.
C. Cognition is related to different sleep phases.
D. It is not effective when age, sex, and so on are considered.
15. What does David Holtzman's words imply
A. Quality of sleep is the key.
B. Long time sleepers do not have cognitive decline.
C. Short sleep schedules must change their habits.
D. Both long time and shot time sleepers have sleep problems.

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 had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance.They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式在相应位置作答。
Paragraph1:
But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined.

Ricky lived in a lovely, futuristic house, which had everything you could ever want. Though he didn’t help much around the house, Ricky was still very pleased when his parents bought him the latest model of robot. As soon as it arrived, off it went, cooking, cleaning, ironing, and—most importantly—gathering up clothes from Ricky’s bedroom floor. On that first day, when Ricky went to sleep, he had left his bedroom in a truly disastrous state. When he woke up the next morning, everything was perfectly clean and tidy.
In fact, it was actually “too” clean; now Ricky couldn’t find his favorite T-shirt, nor his favorite toy. However much he searched, the two things did not reappear. The same was starting to happen with other things. Ricky began to suspect the robot. He planned to spy on the robot, and began following it around the house. Finally he caught it on the spot, picking up one of Ricky’s toys to hide it.
Ricky told his parents that the robot was broken and badly programmed and asked them to have it changed. But his parents told him absolutely not; they were delighted with the new robot, and it cooked like a dream.
One day, the robot was whirring past, and heard the boy’s complaints. The robot returned with one of the boy’s toys, and some clothes for him.
“Here, sir. I did not know it was bothering you, ” said the robot.
“How could it not, you thief! You’ve been stealing my belongings for weeks!” the boy answered angrily.
“The objects were left on the floor. I therefore calculated that you did not like them. I am programmed to collect all that is not wanted, and at night I send it to people who can use it. I am a maximum efficiency machine. Were you unaware ” the robot said, with a certain pride.
Ricky started feeling ashamed. He understood that the robot was neither broken nor misprogrammed. Rather, it had been programmed extremely well!
Since then, Ricky has decided to become a “Maximum Efficiency Boy”, and put real care into how he treated his things. He kept them tidy, and made sure he didn’t have more than what was necessary. And, often, he would buy things, and take them along with his good friend, the robot, to help out those other people who needed them.
4. What is the robot meant to do
A. Do the housework. B. Take care of children.
C. Provide security services. D. Recycle used objects.
5. What does the underlined sentence in paragraph 3 mean
A. The robot dreamed of being a cook. B. The robot was good at cooking.
C. The robot could serve as a cooker. D. The robot found it unrealistic to cook.
6. Why did Ricky get mad at the robot
A. He mistook it as a thief. B. He disliked the way it cleaned his room.
C. He thought it was making too much noise. D. He felt less loved by his parents since its arrival.
7. Where does the text probably come from
A. A science report. B. A science fiction story.
C. An entertainment magazine. D. A commercial advertisement.

Located within the beautiful landscape of Wisconsin’s Lake Chippewa lies a natural wonder that poses a unique challenge for the local community. This hidden wonder is none other than a giant floating island. The island, composed of plants and trees, occasionally floats around the lake, causing a significant inconvenience by blocking a vital bridge. Later, the local people proposed a solution to this problem. Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.
Lake Chippewa was born in 1923 when a vast bog (沼泽) was transformed through flooding. Soon after that, many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blows, moving the entire floating mass around the lake.
Although the decades-old floating island does not relocate constantly, when it does, it causes trouble for the community by blocking the vital bridge that serves as the sole passage between the lake’s East and West sides. The only solution is to gather a fleet of boats, and not just one or two,but dozens of boats working together to push the island away. “It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision, as merely relocating (重新迁移) it a short distance may result in its return within days.
Some people have suggested blowing up the floating islands to get rid of the problem. However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for decades, and in that time a wealth of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local authorities prefer they be dealt with in a way that won’t negatively impact wildlife, highlighting the delicate balance between human convenience and environmental conservation. The annual tradition of relocating Lake Chippewa’s floating island is evidence to the coexistence of humanity and nature, a heartwarming display of community unity, and a reminder of the importance of preserving the unique habitats that enrich our world.
8. What does the underlined word “solution” in paragraph 1 refer to
A. Building a new bridge. B. Transforming the vast bog.
C. Moving the floating island away. D. Reconstructing the local community.
9. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The form action of the floating island.
B. The history of flooding in Lake Chippewa.
C. The abundance of species in Lake Chippewa.
D. The impact of the wind on the floating island.
10. What do we know about the relocation work from paragraph 3
A. It is usually finished within days.
B. It can only be carried out during windless days.
C. It is demanding in cooperation and precision.
D. It greatly disturbs the community residents’ lives.
11. Why have the local authorities refused to blow up the island
A. To save costs for local people.
B. To ensure the safety of residents.
C. To increase the bond between communities.
D. To protect the wildlife species on the island.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. C 11. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲的是位于Lake Chippewa的一个浮岛偶尔会堵塞一座重要的桥梁，给人们带来了极大的不便，当地人通过齐心协力把它推开来解决这个问题。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词下文“Every year, local boat owners work together and push the island away from the bridge.(每年，当地的船主都会齐心协力，把小岛从桥上推开)”可知，当地人想到的解决办法是把这个浮岛移走。由此可知，划线词solution指的是Moving the floating island away(将浮岛移走)。故选C。
【9题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第二段“Soon after that, many of the peat bogs started rising to the surface and became perfect growing spots for plants, with seeds carried by wind and wild birds to this floating place. Over the years, these bogs have grown plants and trees and turned into full islands. As time goes by, plants take root, and the oldest islands even have trees that act as sails when the wind blows, moving the entire floating mass around the lake.(不久之后，许多泥炭沼泽开始上升到水面，成为植物的理想生长地点，种子被风和野鸟带到这个漂浮的地方。多年来，这些沼泽长出了植物和树木，变成了完整的岛屿。随着时间的流逝，植物生根发芽，最古老的岛屿上甚至有树木，当风吹起时，它们就像帆一样，把整个漂浮的物体移动到湖周围)”可知，第二段主要讲的是浮岛是如何形成的，故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段““It takes a community’s effort, and you must have the winds at your back to push them in,” said a resident. Moving the island also requires precision, as merely relocating (重新迁移) it a short distance may result in its return within days.(“这需要整个社区的努力，而且你必须有顺风才能把它们推进来，”一位居民说。移动岛屿也需要精确，因为仅仅是将它移动一段距离就可能导致它在几天内返回)”可知，重新迁移浮岛对合作和精确度要求很高。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“However, the big bog in Lake Chippewa has been around for decades, and in that time a wealth of animal and plant species have made it their home. Therefore, local authorities prefer they be dealt with in a way that won’t negatively impact wildlife, highlighting the delicate balance between human convenience and environmental conservation.(然而，Chippewa湖的大沼泽已经存在了几十年，在此期间，大量的动植物物种将其作为家园。因此，当地政府希望以一种不会对野生动物产生负面影响的方式处理这些问题，强调人类便利与环境保护之间的微妙平衡)”可推知，地方当局拒绝炸毁这个岛是为了保护岛上的野生动物。故选D。
D
Like so many other good things in life, sleep is best at a right length. A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer's disease were taken into account.
“Our study suggests that there is a middle range, or ‘sweet spot’, for total sleep time where cognitive performance is stable over time. Short and long sleep time is associated with worse cognitive performance,” said first author Brendan Lucey, an associate professor of the Washington University Sleep Medicine Center. “An unanswered question is if we can intervene to improve sleep, would that have a positive effect on their cognitive performance so they no longer decline We need more further data to answer this question.”
Lucey and colleagues turned to volunteers who participate in Alzheimer's studies through the university's Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer Disease Research Center. Such volunteers experienced annual clinical and cognitive assessments, and provided a blood sample to be tested. For this study, each participant slept with a tiny EEG monitor attached to their heads for four to six nights to measure their brain activities during sleep.
The researchers found a U-shaped relationship between sleep and cognitive decline. Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.
The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep phases, including rapid-eye movement (REM), or dreaming sleep and non-REM sleep. Moreover, the same is true even after adjusting for factors that can affect both sleep and cognition, such as age, sex, levels of Alzheimer's proteins. “It was particularly interesting to see that not only those with short amounts of sleep but also those with long amounts of sleep had more cognitive decline,” said Professor Beau M. Ances.
“Each person's sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits,” said co-senior author David Holtzman, MD. “But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated.”
12. What's the passage mainly about
A. The effects of Alzheimer's disease. B. The benefits of best sleep.
C. The influence of sleep time on cognition. D. The good things in life.
13. According to the passage, which sleep time is suitable
A. 4 hours. B. 6 hours.
C. 7 hours. D. 7. 5 hours.
14. What can we know about U-shaped relationship
A. The sleep time has no connection with cognitive scores.
B. The longer sleep time is, the higher cognitive scores are.
C. Cognition is related to different sleep phases.
D. It is not effective when age, sex, and so on are considered.
15. What does David Holtzman's words imply
A. Quality of sleep is the key.
B. Long time sleepers do not have cognitive decline.
C. Short sleep schedules must change their habits.
D. Both long time and shot time sleepers have sleep problems.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A
【解析】

【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“A multi-year study of older adults found that both short and long sleepers experienced greater cognitive (认知的) decline than people who slept a proper amount, even when the effects of early Alzheimer's disease were taken into account. ”（一项针对老年人的多年研究发现，短时间睡眠者和长时间睡眠者的认知能力都比睡眠适量的人衰退得更严重，即使考虑到早期阿尔茨海默病的影响）结合全文内容，可知这篇文章主要介绍了睡眠时间对认知的影响。故选C。
13题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第三段“Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.”（总体而言，每晚睡眠时间少于4.5小时或超过6.5小时的那组人的认知能力得分有所下降，而睡眠时间在中间的那组人的认知能力得分则保持稳定）可知根据文章，睡眠时间6小时是合适的。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第三段“Overall, cognitive scores declined for the groups that slept less than 4.5 or more than 6.5 hours per night while scores stayed stable for those in the middle of the range.”（总体而言，每晚睡眠时间少于4.5小时或超过6.5小时的那组人的认知能力得分有所下降，而睡眠时间在中间的那组人的认知能力得分则保持稳定）和倒数第二段“The U-shaped relationship held true for measures of specific sleep phases, including rapid-eye movement (REM), or dreaming sleep and non-REM sleep.

Ances.”（u型关系适用于测量特定的睡眠阶段，包括快速眼动(REM)，或做梦睡眠和非快速眼动睡眠。 此外，即使在调整了年龄、性别、阿尔茨海默氏症蛋白质水平等可能影响睡眠和认知的因素后，情况也是如此。 Beau M. Ances教授说：“特别有趣的是，不仅睡眠时间短的人认知能力下降的情况更严重，睡眠时间长的人也一样。” ）可知睡眠时间与认知得分有关，排除A；睡眠时间越长，认知得分并不高，排除B；当考虑到年龄、性别等因素时，它依然有效，排除D。故选C。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““Each person's sleep needs are unique, and people who wake up feeling rested on short or long sleep schedules should not feel forced to change their habits,” said co-senior author David Holtzman, MD. “But those who are not sleeping well should be aware that sleep problems often can be treated.””（“每个人的睡眠需求都是独特的，那些在短时间或长时间睡眠中醒来感觉休息好的人不应该被迫改变他们的习惯，”联合资深作者大卫·霍尔茨曼医学博士说，“但那些睡眠不好的人应该意识到，睡眠问题通常是可以治疗的。” ）可推知大卫·霍尔茨曼的话意味着睡眠质量是关键。故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了北京航空航天大学博士生李金琪因坚持练习武术而在校园内广受欢迎的故事。
【36题详解】
考查介词。句意：在她的带领下，有10个同学站成两排，穿着同样的功夫风格的衣服，做出同样的动作。根据句意，表示“在排列之中”，用介词in，其意为“在……内；在……中”。故填in。
【37题详解】
考查连词。句意：在她的带领下，有10个同学站成两排，穿着同样的功夫风格的衣服，做出同样的动作。分析句子可知，produced和wore是定语从句中并列谓语动词，用连词and连接。故填and。
【38题详解】
考查副词。句意：24岁的李是北京航空航天大学的一名博士生，但她在校园里更广为人知的身份是武术大师。提示词修饰形容词known，用副词widely作状语，意为“广泛地，范围广地”。故填widely。
【39题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意：虽然她忙于研究和课业，但她说，在过去的五年里，练习武术已经成为她的日常生活。分析句子可知，become(成为)是宾语从句中谓语动词，与主语practicing martial arts(练习武术)之间是主动关系，结合时间状语over the past five years可知，讲述从过去持续到现在的动作，应使用现在完成时态，又因主语是单个动名词短语，所以谓语动词应使用单数形式。综上，谓语应用现在完成时的主动语态，单数形式。故填has become。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：她学习了拳击、剑术和棍棒等各种武术风格，并在首都举行的几次跨校园武术比赛中获胜。分析句子可知，“(hold) in the capital city”作后置定语修饰名词词组martial arts competitions，hold是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语martial arts competitions之间是被动关系，用过去分词表被动。故填held。
【41题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：她还领导了学校的武术俱乐部，该俱乐部从两个参与者发展到30多名活跃成员。分析句子可知，空格处单词引导为非限制性定语从句，修饰先行词martial arts club，指物，关系词代替先行词在定语从句中作主语，应使用关系代词which引导该从句。故填which。
【42题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：李说，连续三年在毕业典礼上表演，就招募新成员而言，该俱乐部现在是校园里最受欢迎的俱乐部之一。“(perform) at the graduation ceremony for three years in a row”作时间状语，perform(表演)是非谓语动词，与其逻辑主语Li之间是主动关系，且“连续三年在毕业典礼上表演”发生在“李说……”之前，应用现在分词的完成式表动作已发现。故填Having performed。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意：武术就是要找到最好的自己。形容词最高级前用定冠词the限定。故填the。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：随着年轻一代越来越重视传统文化，相关产业和服务也有望蓬勃发展。提示词作宾语，用名词importance，意为“重要，重要性”，不可数名词。故填importance。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：随着年轻一代越来越重视传统文化，相关产业和服务也有望蓬勃发展。expect sb./sth. to do...是固定搭配，句中使用了其被动语态形式sb./sth. be expected to do...，不定式作主语补足语。故填to thrive。

The Book I Like Most
Among all of the books I’ve read, I couldn’t get enough of a book, Tuesdays with Morrie, written by Mitch. The story centers on a successful journalist Mitch keeping visiting his professor, Morrie, who is weakened by his severe illness. The weekly conversations between them result in a series of lessons on the meaning of life.
Although this book is about dying, it is a pleasant surprise to find that this book is filled with joy and hope. Morrie’s bravery towards the end of his life has made me value my own life more.

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文、
I had always prided myself on my sharp tongue and brilliant response whether in class debates or casual arguments. Thus, when I was selected to represent the school in the national debate series, I was naturally extremely confident of myself.
All the members in my team were good speakers. We had an experienced teacher who trained us well. But I was undoubtedly the most outstanding speaker. In each of the rounds that I debated in, all the judges selected me as the best one. This meant that my confidence was the highest by the time we found ourselves with one week to train before the finals. I had every reason to believe that I would be voted the best speaker for the debate series.
I began to be self-important about the whole business and started behaving that way with my team-mates. I would laugh at Eton’s poor debating style. I would complain of Vivian’s slow response. I saw myself as the natural debater who would be disappointed by their bad performance.
As the finals drew near, I became more and more dissatisfied with my team. I began missing practices. My teacher was worried. My teammates were panicked. However, they had no choice but to rely on me to win the finals. Even if they would love to remove me from the team they could not because there was no replacement good enough.
The day of the finals finally came. I was very excited that I was able to finally show off my debating skills. Everyone was expecting my performance.They knew that I was praised to be the one most likely to win the best speaker for the debate series.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph1:
But the reality was not something that I had ever imagined. Due to lack of training, I failed to get the key point of my speech, for which I wasn’t well prepared. I didn’t know what to say and my mind just went blank. I was so nervous that I just stood there. I felt all the people present were looking at me with strange eyes. I was very embarrassed and shed big big sweat.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly, a comforting hand from behind held mine. It came from one of my teammates. He whispered to me, “Don’t be nervous and don’t be afraid. All of us are here to support you and cheer you up. I’m here to help you.” At this time, I realized the mistakes I had made before. I shouldn’t be too confident in myself. I should have humbly trained more with my teammates. At the moment, I was forgiven by my teammates. I pulled myself together, quickly straightened out my ideas and finished my speech. I saw all my teammates applaud for me and I was moved to tears.
