I was born with a physical disability. Three of my fingers on my left hand are very small. It is hard to hold things.
In my first school, the kids would tease (取笑) me about my 1 almost every day. I used to go home and tell my mum the kids made fun of me and cry. My mum would meet with my teachers to try to 2 it, but it didn’t help. I wanted friends but I didn’t have one. I didn’t want to go to school any more.
My mum’s friend recommended (推荐) a new school to me. It was smaller. At the new school, I was 3 of being in a new place. I thought the other kids might laugh at me. I would pull the sleeves (袖子) of my sweater down to 4 my hand.
It was hard but I tried my best. When I was upset, my teachers always asked, “What’s wrong Can I talk to you ” That helped because I used to keep my 5 inside. They helped me express myself in words instead of going off.
A few weeks later, I told the kids, “I’ve been teased a lot” and I showed them my hand. They asked me what happened. I told them, “I was born this way.” They didn’t make fun of me. They told me not to worry about it.
I just wanted people to be 6 to me and I wanted friends. I have that now. I study and play with them. It makes me feel like they’re not scared of me and they 7 me. When I’m having a bad day, they say, “Keep your head up, don’t give up.”
I think it was good that I came to the new school. I feel like I’m a new person. I appreciate (感激) all the people for their help. I want to say to the kids, thank you for 8 me. Now if people ask about my hand, I won’t hide it. When someone teases me, I ignore (不理睬) it. I couldn’t do that before because I was scared of what they would say. I’m not embarrassed (尴尬的) any more.

（2024·北京朝阳·一模）As I waited for the speech to start, I felt a touch on my shoulder. Looking up, I found a young woman smiling at me, holding a notebook. I 9 at once who she was.
The week before we had shared emails, and I told her I would be sitting in the front row. I always sat at the front because I’m 10 and needed to watch the way the speaker’s lips (嘴唇) move. “I’m Rosie,” the young woman said. She was the first person I’d ever met who was my age and wore hearing aids. At my school, I was the only person who wore hearing aids. So I was surprised to see Rosie wearing them. She tied her hair back, and didn’t try to 11 them like I did.
After the speech, Rosie and I carried on talking. She always remembered to look at me when we talked. I didn’t have to worry that she’d 12 away, and I’d miss a joke or statement. We both tried to make communication clear and noticeable. I once 13 that deafness was some kind of weakness but here was Rosie, who was clever, wise, full of fun and deaf. What was the big 14
I felt like a window had opened on my own experience as a deaf person. Partly it was the joy of being able to talk 15 . We discussed noisy social events, or group conversations, where we felt like outsiders. The knowledge that I wasn’t the only deaf student at school made the experience feel less lonely.
We continued to share notes on being deaf. Learning to speak up for myself as a deaf person in the workplace was hard. But Rosie was more positive, and she held up a 16 to my own experience, setting a good example for me. Our friendship has become an important part of who I am as well.

At the following class, Rita took out a roll of 19 .

I got up on the balance beam, closing my eyes and imagining I was on the mat. Then I started the cartwheel. I 23 it! Seeing that, Rita was excited to jump up and down, clapping and shouting, “You were so 24 !”

“We were the cutest babies in the world!” I smiled and said to Rachel as I put up a 25 of me riding a horse on the wall of the classroom.
“I know, look at this one!” Rachel pointed to the picture of us at age five. We both laughed and shook our heads. We couldn’t believe that we would be graduating (毕业) in a week.
As a way of celebrating our childhoods, we were asked to bring in pictures of ourselves growing up. As I looked 26 from photo to photo, from preschoolers to ninth-graders, I began to look at my classmates around me.
First I looked at Rachel, and I 27 the first day of school. I was a little five-year-old. When my mother left me, I just didn’t know what to do but cry. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Rachel.
“Why are you crying ” she asked.
“My mommy left me.”
“Would you like to play a puzzle game together ” She offered.
That got my 28 . I loved puzzle games. I started to play, and after a few minutes, I wasn’t crying anymore.
I looked back at the pictures and my eyes 29 on a picture of Tony. Tony lives right next to me, and we have always been close. I remember how much fun I had playing “boys’ games”, all thanks to Tony making it possible.
“Come on, she’s a girl—she’ll make you play Barbies or something,” one of the boys on our block said to Tony.
I turned and started to walk away. I felt tears 30 up in my eyes when I heard Tony say, “No, I want to play with Sarah. We’re going to play basketball.”
The millions of memories that I 31 from those years suddenly came back to me. High school would be different. I couldn’t imagine how that would feel. I looked at the pictures once more and noticed how, in every picture, each of us was at 32 points of our lives, but we were always smiling. We were all okay, even through all the changes.

When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴表演) classes, I was uncertain about whether to sign up. As a very shy person, I 65 getting on stage and acting in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after graduating, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and build confidence. I signed up, knowing the 66 would take me well outside my comfort zone.
During our first class, we learned an important idea of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that we accept what other performers say. If someone says that monkeys are librarians, for example, then monkeys are librarians. We do not 67 the logic (逻辑); we say “yes” and continue with the scene (场景) as if nothing is wrong.
To do this effectively, our teacher warned us that we’d have to avoid second-guessing ourselves. Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions. The best improvisation happens when performers stay open to 68 possibilities and say whatever comes into their minds.
I got a taste of the 69 when acting out my first scene. However, as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I also became better at listening, relating to my partners, and
communicating clearly.
That training came in handy two weeks ago, when I was giving a speech about my science. A student surprised me with a question that came out of nowhere. Instead of getting nervous, I used the “yes, and” method— 70 the question at face value and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me stay calm and finally find a proper answer.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Early on in school, I would get stuck when 71 data was produced in my experiments; my inner critic would suppose I had made a mistake. But now, after using the “yes, and” method, I no longer go into an experiment thinking that I already know the story my data are going to tell.
This lesson can 72 all scientists. If the data say monkeys are librarians, then it’s worth studying whether monkeys are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to produce data that support a story that we already know. Our job is to say “yes, and”.
65．A．feared B．tried C．considered D．regretted
66．A．experience B．service C．experiment D．treatment
67．A．use B．believe C．understand D．question

Sam tapped his pencil against his blank paper and sighed. “I’ll never be able to write this essay.”
“What’s wrong ” his mother asked, placing her hand on his shoulder. “You just have to write about what you did over your summer vacation.”
“Yeah, but I didn’t go on vacation. Vicki went to the Bahamas and Jake went to Myrtle Beach. I had to 73 with Aunt Tara because our house was being repaired.”
Mom turned Sam around in his desk chair. “Just because you didn’t go to a resort doesn’t mean you didn’t have a vacation. Look at all the things you did with your cousin this summer.”
Sam thought hard. He and Eric had joined a bike competition, gone to an amusement park, and taken Karate lessons. “I guess I could write about all these 74 .”
He shook his head and was still not sure if his essay was going to 75 his friends at school.
The next day, the class took turns 76 their essays. Sam slunk down in his seat, hoping Mr. Matthews wouldn’t notice him. With only ten minutes left before lunch, Sam thought he was 77 from having to read his essay.
“Sam, I think we have enough time to hear about your summer vacation.” Mr. Matthews said.
Sam got up slowly and unwillingly walked to the front of the room with his paper in his hand. With his head down, he didn’t take his eyes off the essay as he read it.
When he was finished, no one clapped or said anything. He slowly 78 his eyes to see a bunch of hands in the air.
“Looks like you have some questions.” Mr. Matthews said. He pointed to Jake in the front row.
“Did you get to go on that new roller coaster at the amusement park ” Jake asked. “I heard it was really scary.”
“Yeah. I begged my parents to take me, but they wouldn’t.” Vicki said.
As Sam answered question after question, he 79 . Before he knew it, it was time for lunch. On the way to the cafeteria, the questions continued.

Our community library decided to offer a painting class. I told my friend Ella, and we both signed up.
On the big day, our first 81 was to paint a white vase of cheerful yellow sunflowers against a blue background.
We were asked to paint our canvas (画布) 82 . It was easy to follow the instructor to move the brush. Although I had never painted before, I could tell I was a 83 . I started thinking about where I would hang my new masterpiece.
Immediately after that, however, I began to run into 84 . The first curved (弯曲的) line of my vase looked perfect, but when I painted the line on the opposite side, my hand slipped (打滑). I tried to 85 that white streak (条痕) with blue paint, but it didn’t work.
While I was busy fixing my messy painting, the instructor explained how to paint the sunflower leaves. Things went downhill fast after that. My leaves looked like fat, green caterpillars (毛毛虫). When I failed to clean my paintbrush, I accidentally made the sunflowers green. I felt 86 when I saw how good everyone else’s paintings looked.
Ella sweetly praised my sunflowers, perhaps feeling sorry for me. When I said that hers were much better, she looked surprised. “No, they’re not. I messed up in at least five places.” After a few seconds, she asked, “Want to 87 paintings ”
Until that moment, I had felt only dislike for my painting. And yet for some reason, giving it away felt wrong. It wasn’t a perfect painting, but it was mine—the first one I had ever created. I knew Ella must have realized that she felt the same way when she suddenly shook her head and said. “Never mind.”
My sunflower painting still hangs directly above my bed. I often look at it. Every time I look at it. I 88 . It always brightens my day and brings warmth to my room. I really like it now.

（2024·北京·一模）I was lucky enough to test into the best high school in the city. But then came my 97 : Am I good enough It was a question that 98 me through my first month, even as I began to get used to the early morning wake-ups and moving between buildings for class.
I knew I had to work hard to ground myself. My earliest strategy involved keeping quiet and trying to 99 my new classmates. Who were these kids anyway How did they learn in school All I knew was that they were the smartest kids in the city, obviously. But wasn’t I as well Hadn’t I landed here because I was smart like them The truth is that I didn’t know. This 100 was like a deadly cell (细胞) that threatened to divide and divide again, unless I could find some ways to stop it.
Fortunately, my first round of grades turned out to be 101 , and so did my second. Over the course of
my first two years, I began to build the same kind of 102 I’d had at my junior high school. With each little achievement, my doubt 103 took leave.
I find subjects involving writing enjoyable but I think maths is difficult. I had classmates who were always a step or two ahead of me, whose achievements seemed effortless, but I tried not to let that get to me. I was beginning to understand that if I put in extra hours of studying, I could often close the gap. I wasn’t a straight-A student, but I was always 104 and I made progress.

I was born with a physical disability. Three of my fingers on my left hand are very small. It is hard to hold things.
In my first school, the kids would tease (取笑) me about my 1 almost every day. I used to go home and tell my mum the kids made fun of me and cry. My mum would meet with my teachers to try to 2 it, but it didn’t help. I wanted friends but I didn’t have one. I didn’t want to go to school any more.

A few weeks later, I told the kids, “I’ve been teased a lot” and I showed them my hand. They asked me what happened. I told them, “I was born this way.” They didn’t make fun of me. They told me not to worry about it.
I just wanted people to be 6 to me and I wanted friends. I have that now. I study and play with them. It makes me feel like they’re not scared of me and they 7 me. When I’m having a bad day, they say, “Keep your head up, don’t give up.”

The week before we had shared emails, and I told her I would be sitting in the front row.

We continued to share notes on being deaf. Learning to speak up for myself as a deaf person in the workplace was hard. But Rosie was more positive, and she held up a 16 to my own experience, setting a good example for me. Our friendship has become an important part of who I am as well.

“We were the cutest babies in the world!” I smiled and said to Rachel as I put up a 25 of me riding a horse on the wall of the classroom.
“I know, look at this one!” Rachel pointed to the picture of us at age five. We both laughed and shook our heads. We couldn’t believe that we would be graduating (毕业) in a week.
As a way of celebrating our childhoods, we were asked to bring in pictures of ourselves growing up. As I looked 26 from photo to photo, from preschoolers to ninth-graders, I began to look at my classmates around me.
First I looked at Rachel, and I 27 the first day of school. I was a little five-year-old. When my mother left me, I just didn’t know what to do but cry. Then I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Rachel.
“Why are you crying ” she asked.
“My mommy left me.”
“Would you like to play a puzzle game together ” She offered.
That got my 28 . I loved puzzle games. I started to play, and after a few minutes, I wasn’t crying anymore.
I looked back at the pictures and my eyes 29 on a picture of Tony. Tony lives right next to me, and we have always been close. I remember how much fun I had playing “boys’ games”, all thanks to Tony making it possible.
“Come on, she’s a girl—she’ll make you play Barbies or something,” one of the boys on our block said to Tony.
I turned and started to walk away. I felt tears 30 up in my eyes when I heard Tony say, “No, I want to play with Sarah. We’re going to play basketball.”
The millions of memories that I 31 from those years suddenly came back to me. High school would be different. I couldn’t imagine how that would feel. I looked at the pictures once more and noticed how, in every picture, each of us was at 32 points of our lives, but we were always smiling. We were all okay, even through all the changes.

When I first heard about the improvisation (即兴表演) classes, I was uncertain about whether to sign up. As a very shy person, I 65 getting on stage and acting in front of strangers. However, I knew I wanted to work as a science communicator after graduating, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to improve my speaking ability and build confidence. I signed up, knowing the 66 would take me well outside my comfort zone.
During our first class, we learned an important idea of improvisation: “yes, and.” It means that we accept what other performers say. If someone says that monkeys are librarians, for example, then monkeys are librarians. We do not 67 the logic (逻辑); we say “yes” and continue with the scene (场景) as if nothing is wrong.
To do this effectively, our teacher warned us that we’d have to avoid second-guessing ourselves. Sometimes scenes go in unexpected directions. The best improvisation happens when performers stay open to 68 possibilities and say whatever comes into their minds.
I got a taste of the 69 when acting out my first scene. However, as weeks turned into months, I became more comfortable and even started to enjoy our classes. I also became better at listening, relating to my partners, and
communicating clearly.
That training came in handy two weeks ago, when I was giving a speech about my science. A student surprised me with a question that came out of nowhere. Instead of getting nervous, I used the “yes, and” method— 70 the question at face value and letting my mind focus on why it was asked. That helped me stay calm and finally find a proper answer.
The benefits of improvisation go beyond communication. Early on in school, I would get stuck when 71 data was produced in my experiments; my inner critic would suppose I had made a mistake. But now, after using the “yes, and” method, I no longer go into an experiment thinking that I already know the story my data are going to tell.
This lesson can 72 all scientists. If the data say monkeys are librarians, then it’s worth studying whether monkeys are, in fact, librarians. Our job as scientists isn’t to produce data that support a story that we already know. Our job is to say “yes, and”.

Sam tapped his pencil against his blank paper and sighed. “I’ll never be able to write this essay.”

Mom turned Sam around in his desk chair. “Just because you didn’t go to a resort doesn’t mean you didn’t have a vacation. Look at all the things you did with your cousin this summer.”

Sam got up slowly and unwillingly walked to the front of the room with his paper in his hand. With his head down, he didn’t take his eyes off the essay as he read it.
When he was finished, no one clapped or said anything. He slowly 78 his eyes to see a bunch of hands in the air.
“Looks like you have some questions.” Mr. Matthews said. He pointed to Jake in the front row.
