As a teenager in the 1990s, Melissa Blake was interested in fashion. Unfortunately, fashion wasn’t much interested in her. Blake, who has a genetic bone and muscle disorder and stands a little under 4 feet tall, couldn’t find jeans or dresses in her size. Paging through magazines, she didn’t see a single person like her. “That would have been a game changer for me,” says Blake, who had 26 surgeries before age 17 to treat her Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.
So far, Blake, 39, has spent her adult life trying to make up for that. She is a disability-rights activist as well as a freelance (自由职业的) writer whose works have appeared in The New York Times and Clamour, but she gained a national following in 2019 after clapping back at people who made ugly comments about her online.
Blake posted a new selfie (自拍)every day. “Some selfies were serious, like the ones where I talked about disabilities or, how I was feeling on not-so-good days. Some were fun and silly, but each was a celebration, and each carried a message. However, some people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. I feel like every time I post a selfie or share something about my life as a disabled woman, it is a representation to fight that,” Blake told WBUR.
Her fans went wild, calling Blake a goddess and a powerful woman. Among her fans is Mindy Scheier, the founder and CEO of Runway of Dreams, which displays fashion for people with disabilities. Last fall, Scheier asked Blake to be one of the event’s 24 models because of her support of the welfare of the disabled.
“It was a little scary,” Blake says of modeling. But she’s glad she took the challenge. “When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we should get a seat at the table in all aspects of life.”
4. What can be inferred from the 1st paragraph
A. Melissa Blake was a game designer.
B. Melissa Blake was interested in games.
C. Melissa Blake was too tall to find suitable clothes.
D. Melissa Blake’s fashion dream was affected by her disability.
5. Why did Melissa Blake post selfies every day
A. To show off her fashion sense.
B. To gain a national following.
C. To become a model for Runway of Dreams.
D. To fight against ugly comments about her appearance.
6. Why was Melissa Blake asked to be a model for Runway of Dreams
A. Because she is a fashion icon. B. Because she is the founder of the event.
C Because she is a disability-rights activist. D. Because she is a professional writer.
7. Which of the following best matches the article
A. Courage can break down obstacles.
B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.
C. Practice makes perfect.
D. It is never too old to learn.

Despite the difficulties, the California coastal ecosystem is improving, largely thanks to the huge appetite sea otters (海獭) have for crabs. In a creative study, scientists revealed the return of otters to their former habitat in a Central California river mouth has slowed the decrease of the area’s river banks by up to 90%. “It would cost tens of millions of dollars for humans to rebuild these stream banks and restore these rivers. The otters are stabilizing them for free, in exchange for an all-you-can-eat crab feast,” said biology professor Brian Silliman, Ph. D. at Duke University.
Like many California river mouths, Elkhorn once was a habitat for otters, which need to eat around 20 to 25 pounds of food every day, with crabs being one of their favorite meals. But after fur traders hunted the local otter population nearly to extinction, the number of crabs exploded over the next century. Crabs dig into salt river soil, and over time can cause a salt river to wear away and collapse. Today, years after the otters returned, rivers and stream banks became more stable.
Angelini, one of the study’s authors, said that tool is an encouraging sign for her team as they face similar threats to Florida’s coastlines from sea level rise, storms, and extra nutrients overflowing into coastal waters. “All these seem unsurmountable,” Angelini said. “However, this study shows that, if we truly understand the ecosystem and know what tools to use, we can see significant benefits to the health and stability of these systems.”
The research team conducted large-scale surveys across 13 tidal (潮汐的) streams, as well as small-scale field experiments at five locations around the river mouth over a six-year period. Otters were not included in some lest sites but allowed to be used in others, using a caging system designed by Angelini.
“And all these years later, we now see these amazing results. It’s an inspiring story about the benefits of conservation and persistent, long-term research,” Angelini said.
8. What does Brian Silliman think of the function of sea otters
A. It’s complex. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s effective. D. It’s inefficient.
9. What made the sea otters in Elkhorn nearly die out
A. The collapse of salt rivers.
B The hunting for their fur.
C. The decrease of the sea crabs.
D. The pollution of their habitat.
10. What does the underlined word “unsurmountable” probably mean
A. Hard to understand. B. Difficult to deal with.
C. Impossible to avoid. D. Dangerous to settle.
11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The process of the research.
B. The purpose of the research.
C. The limitation of the research.
D. The discovery of the research.

At a desk between a hallway entrance and a classroom door, Marge Mangelsdorf gently urged Harlan to write down what he remembered. The two had just finished reading Hi! Fly Cuy, a popular children’s book about a boy and his pet bug. Now it was time for Harlan, a first grader, to go over the plot and characters with his tutor.
Mangelsdorf spends several days each week in empty classrooms like these, working with kids through Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring. The program, which pairs volunteers with students for 30-45 minutes each week, is overseen by a St. Louis-based nonprofit that promotes healthy aging through a mix of community involvement and continuing education. This model holds a unique appeal. Its workers are largely retired volunteers, who cost less in fees, making their continuing presence sustainable.
There is some proof of its effectiveness. In a 2023 survey of educators in schools where the program works, 80 percent of classroom teachers said they’d seen improvement in their students’ reading skills, and 67 percent said they’d perceived an improvement in those students’ attitudes at school.
Whatever the effects of tutoring on young kids, the program’s work is also meant to help their volunteers. When given the chance to be active and help others, seniors’ quality of life can dramatically improve. A 2020 Harvard University study found that adults over 50 who volunteered at least two hours per week were less likely to express loneliness, depression and hopelessness and more likely to be optimistic and purposeful. Putting them in direct contact with school-aged children might be the best way to make the best of their talents, especially given America’s growing number of seniors.
12. Why did Harlan write down what he remembered
A. To finish writing a new novel.
B. To teach students how to read a novel.
C. To create a fantastic story for the old.
D. To review the content of Hi! Fly Guy.
13. What can we infer about Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring from Paragraph 2
A. It made fewer profits in 2023.
B. It builds a bridge between tutors and students.
C. It models after another community institution.
D. All of its workers are retired teachers from schools.
14. How does the author show the program’s effectiveness
A. By giving examples.
B. By analyzing a questionnaire.
C. By making a contrast.
D. By presenting data.
15. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Elderly workers benefit from the voluntary work.
B. The old suffer from many health problems.
C. Harvard University is in favor of the voluntary program.
D. Harvard University set up the voluntary program.

I was confident at the tryout for the school play and felt pleased to gel 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 tone 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 to rehearse.
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 nervous, 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 nervous everyone became. The worries bounced from one person to another—like a baton being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be buzzing with tension (紧张) and worry.
I was on stage early, performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When，suddenly, I heard my cue，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左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As a teenager in the 1990s, Melissa Blake was interested in fashion. Unfortunately, fashion wasn’t much interested in her. Blake, who has a genetic bone and muscle disorder and stands a little under 4 feet tall, couldn’t find jeans or dresses in her size. Paging through magazines, she didn’t see a single person like her. “That would have been a game changer for me,” says Blake, who had 26 surgeries before age 17 to treat her Freeman-Sheldon syndrome.
So far, Blake, 39, has spent her adult life trying to make up for that. She is a disability-rights activist as well as a freelance (自由职业的) writer whose works have appeared in The New York Times and Clamour, but she gained a national following in 2019 after clapping back at people who made ugly comments about her online.
Blake posted a new selfie (自拍)every day. “Some selfies were serious, like the ones where I talked about disabilities or, how I was feeling on not-so-good days. Some were fun and silly, but each was a celebration, and each carried a message. However, some people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. I feel like every time I post a selfie or share something about my life as a disabled woman, it is a representation to fight that,” Blake told WBUR.
Her fans went wild, calling Blake a goddess and a powerful woman. Among her fans is Mindy Scheier, the founder and CEO of Runway of Dreams, which displays fashion for people with disabilities. Last fall, Scheier asked Blake to be one of the event’s 24 models because of her support of the welfare of the disabled.
“It was a little scary,” Blake says of modeling. But she’s glad she took the challenge. “When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we should get a seat at the table in all aspects of life.”
4. What can be inferred from the 1st paragraph
A. Melissa Blake was a game designer.
B. Melissa Blake was interested in games.
C. Melissa Blake was too tall to find suitable clothes.
D. Melissa Blake’s fashion dream was affected by her disability.
5. Why did Melissa Blake post selfies every day
A. To show off her fashion sense.
B. To gain a national following.
C. To become a model for Runway of Dreams.
D. To fight against ugly comments about her appearance.
6. Why was Melissa Blake asked to be a model for Runway of Dreams
A. Because she is a fashion icon. B. Because she is the founder of the event.
C. Because she is a disability-rights activist. D. Because she is a professional writer.
7. Which of the following best matches the article

B. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D. It is never too old to learn.
【答案】4. D 5. D 6. C 7. A

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段“As a teenager in the 1990s, Melissa Blake was interested in fashion. Unfortunately, fashion wasn’t much interested in her. Blake, who has a genetic bone and muscle disorder and stands a little under 4 feet tall, couldn’t find jeans or dresses in her size. Paging through magazines, she didn’t see a single person like her.(20世纪90年代，作为一名青少年，梅丽莎·布莱克对时尚感兴趣。不幸的是，时尚界对她不太感兴趣。Blake患有遗传性骨骼和肌肉疾病，身高不到4英尺，找不到和她一样大的牛仔裤或连衣裙。翻阅杂志，她没有看到像她这样的人)”可知，梅丽莎·布莱克的时尚梦想受到残疾的影响。故选D。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“However, some people said that I should be banned from posting photos of myself because I’m too ugly. I feel like every time I post a selfie or share something about my life as a disabled woman, it is a representation to fight that(然而，有些人说我应该被禁止发布自己的照片，因为我太丑了。我觉得每次我发布自拍或分享我作为残疾女性的生活时，这都是一种对抗)”可知，梅丽莎·布莱克每天都会发布自拍照，以对抗关于她外表的恶意评论。故选D。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第四段“Last fall, Scheier asked Blake to be one of the event’s 24 models because of her support of the welfare of the disabled.(去年秋天，Scheier因为布莱克对残疾人福利的支持，邀请她成为该活动24名模特之一)”可推知，梅丽莎·布莱克被邀请为Runway of Dreams的模特，因为她是一名为残疾人争取权利的活动家。故选C。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。结合全文及文章最后一段“But she’s glad she took the challenge. “When disabled people are included, it sends a message that we should get a seat at the table in all aspects of life.”(但她很高兴自己接受了挑战。“当残疾人也包括在内时，它发出了一个信息，即我们应该在生活的各个方面都有一席之地”)”可知，这篇文章讲述的是梅丽莎·布莱克，一位患有遗传性骨骼和肌肉疾病的残疾权利活动家，如何面对时尚界的忽视和个人网络攻击，勇敢地表达自我，最终赢得认可和支持的故事，故A项“勇气可以打破障碍”与文章主题相匹配。故选A。
C
Despite the difficulties, the California coastal ecosystem is improving, largely thanks to the huge appetite sea otters (海獭) have for crabs. In a creative study, scientists revealed the return of otters to their former habitat in a Central California river mouth has slowed the decrease of the area’s river banks by up to 90%. “It would cost tens of millions of dollars for humans to rebuild these stream banks and restore these rivers. The otters are stabilizing them for free, in exchange for an all-you-can-eat crab feast,” said biology professor Brian Silliman, Ph. D. at Duke University.
Like many California river mouths, Elkhorn once was a habitat for otters, which need to eat around 20 to 25 pounds of food every day, with crabs being one of their favorite meals. But after fur traders hunted the local otter population nearly to extinction, the number of crabs exploded over the next century. Crabs dig into salt river soil, and over time can cause a salt river to wear away and collapse. Today, years after the otters returned, rivers and stream banks became more stable.
Angelini, one of the study’s authors, said that tool is an encouraging sign for her team as they face similar threats to Florida’s coastlines from sea level rise, storms, and extra nutrients overflowing into coastal waters. “All these seem unsurmountable,” Angelini said. “However, this study shows that, if we truly understand the ecosystem and know what tools to use, we can see significant benefits to the health and stability of these systems.”
The research team conducted large-scale surveys across 13 tidal (潮汐的) streams, as well as small-scale field experiments at five locations around the river mouth over a six-year period. Otters were not included in some lest sites but allowed to be used in others, using a caging system designed by Angelini.
“And all these years later, we now see these amazing results. It’s an inspiring story about the benefits of conservation and persistent, long-term research,” Angelini said.
8. What does Brian Silliman think of the function of sea otters
A. It’s complex. B. It’s expensive.
C. It’s effective. D. It’s inefficient.
9. What made the sea otters in Elkhorn nearly die out
A The collapse of salt rivers.
B. The hunting for their fur.
C. The decrease of the sea crabs.
D. The pollution of their habitat.
10. What does the underlined word “unsurmountable” probably mean
A. Hard to understand. B. Difficult to deal with.
C. Impossible to avoid. D. Dangerous to settle.
11. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. The process of the research.
B. The purpose of the research.
C. The limitation of the research.
D. The discovery of the research.
【答案】8. C 9. B 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要讲的是海獭对加利福尼亚沿海生态系统恢复的积极影响。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“In a creative study, scientists revealed the return of otters to their former habitat in a Central California river mouth has slowed the decrease of the area’s river banks by up to 90%. “It would cost tens of millions of dollars for humans to rebuild these stream banks and restore these rivers. The otters are stabilizing them for free, in exchange for an all-you-can-eat crab feast,” said biology professor Brian Silliman, Ph. D. at Duke University.(在一项创造性的研究中，科学家们发现，水獭回到加州中部河口以前的栖息地，使该地区河岸的减少速度减缓了90%。“人类重建这些河岸和恢复这些河流将花费数千万美元。海獭正在免费稳定它们，作为交换，它们可以尽情享用螃蟹大餐。”杜克大学生物学教授布莱恩·西利曼博士说)”可知，海獭回到了它们之前的栖息地，降低了当地的河岸的破坏速度，使其变得稳固，所以Brian Silliman认为海獭的作用是有效的，故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“But after fur traders hunted the local otter population nearly to extinction, the number of crabs exploded over the next century.(但在毛皮商人将当地海獭捕杀到几乎灭绝之后，螃蟹的数量在下个世纪激增)”可知，毛皮商人在当地捕杀海獭获得皮毛，让Elkhorn的海獭几乎灭绝。故选B。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词的上一句“Angelini, one of the study’s authors, said that tool is an encouraging sign for her team as they face similar threats to Florida’s coastlines from sea level rise, storms, and extra nutrients overflowing into coastal waters.(该研究的作者之一Angelini说，这个工具对她的团队来说是一个令人鼓舞的迹象，因为他们面临着与佛罗里达海岸线类似的威胁，包括海平面上升、风暴和多余的营养物质溢出到沿海水域)”和下一句“However, this study shows that, if we truly understand the ecosystem and know what tools to use, we can see significant benefits to the health and stability of these systems.(然而，这项研究表明，如果我们真正了解生态系统并知道使用什么工具，我们可以看到这些系统的健康和稳定带来的巨大好处)”可知，他们面临着与佛罗里达海岸线类似的威胁，包括海平面上升、风暴和多余的营养物质溢出到沿海水域，这似乎是很难解决的，划线词unsurmountable的意思是“很难解决的”，和difficult to deal with意思相近，故选B。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是第四段“The research team conducted large-scale surveys across 13 tidal (潮汐的) streams, as well as small-scale field experiments at five locations around the river mouth over a six-year period. Otters were not included in some lest sites but allowed to be used in others, using a caging system designed by Angelini.(研究小组在6年的时间里对13条潮汐流进行了大规模调查，并在河口周围的5个地点进行了小规模的实地实验。海獭没有被包括在一些最小的地点，但允许在其他地方使用安吉利尼设计的笼子系统)”可知，第四段主要讲的是研究的过程。故选A。
D
At a desk between a hallway entrance and a classroom door, Marge Mangelsdorf gently urged Harlan to write down what he remembered. The two had just finished reading Hi! Fly Cuy, a popular children’s book about a boy and his pet bug. Now it was time for Harlan, a first grader, to go over the plot and characters with his tutor.
Mangelsdorf spends several days each week in empty classrooms like these, working with kids through Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring. The program, which pairs volunteers with students for 30-45 minutes each week, is overseen by a St. Louis-based nonprofit that promotes healthy aging through a mix of community involvement and continuing education. This model holds a unique appeal. Its workers are largely retired volunteers, who cost less in fees, making their continuing presence sustainable.
There is some proof of its effectiveness. In a 2023 survey of educators in schools where the program works, 80 percent of classroom teachers said they’d seen improvement in their students’ reading skills, and 67 percent said they’d perceived an improvement in those students’ attitudes at school.
Whatever the effects of tutoring on young kids, the program’s work is also meant to help their volunteers. When given the chance to be active and help others, seniors’ quality of life can dramatically improve. A 2020 Harvard University study found that adults over 50 who volunteered at least two hours per week were less likely to express loneliness, depression and hopelessness and more likely to be optimistic and purposeful. Putting them in direct contact with school-aged children might be the best way to make the best of their talents, especially given America’s growing number of seniors.
12. Why did Harlan write down what he remembered
A. To finish writing a new novel.
B. To teach students how to read a novel.
C. To create a fantastic story for the old.
D. To review the content of Hi! Fly Guy.
13. What can we infer about Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring from Paragraph 2
A. It made fewer profits in 2023.
B. It builds a bridge between tutors and students.
C. It models after another community institution.
D. All of its workers are retired teachers from schools.
14. How does the author show the program’s effectiveness
A. By giving examples.
B. By analyzing a questionnaire.
C. By making a contrast.
D. By presenting data.
15. What can we know from the last paragraph
A. Elderly workers benefit from the voluntary work.
B. The old suffer from many health problems.
C. Harvard University is in favor of the voluntary program.
D Harvard University set up the voluntary program.
【答案】12. D 13. B 14. D 15. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文，Marge Mangelsdorf参与Oasis跨代辅导项目，每周辅导学生，提升阅读技能和学校态度。该非营利项目促进老年人健康，通过志愿服务提高生活质量。哈佛研究显示，志愿服务减少老年人孤独感，增加乐观感。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段的“Now it was time for Harlan, a first grader, to go over the plot and characters with his tutor. (现在轮到一年级的Harlan和他的辅导老师一起回顾故事情节和人物角色。)”可知，Harlan在和老师回顾小说中的情节和人物角色，故选D。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段的“The program, which pairs volunteers with students for 30-45 minutes each week... (该计划将志愿者与学生配对，每周进行30至45分钟的辅导...)”可知，Oasis Intergenerational Tutoring 将志愿者和学生配对，每周上课30至45分钟，由此可推断该组织在志愿者与学生之间搭建了桥梁，即将老师和学生联系了起来。故选B。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段的“80 percent of classroom teachers... (80%的课堂教师...)”和“67 percent... (67%...)”可知，作者通过列数据的方式呈现该项目的有效性，故选D。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据对最后一段“When given the chance to be active and help others, seniors’ quality of life can dramatically improve. (当老年人有机会积极参与并帮助他人时，他们的生活质量可以显著提高。)”可知，志愿工作能使老年人的生活更丰富，减少孤独感和抑郁，能改善他们的生活质量，所以志愿工作对老年人来说是有好处的，故选A。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国唐代诗人杜甫。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意：杜甫经常被认为是中国最伟大的诗人之一。根据句意和空格前的the可知，空处应填形容词great的最高级形式，表示“最伟大的”。故填greatest。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意：杜甫出生于一个学者家庭，接受了传统的儒家教育，但在735年的科举考试中失败了。空处在句中作非谓语，动词bear“生育”与其逻辑主语Du Fu构成被动关系，故用过去分词作状语，位于句首首字母大写。故填Born。

考查介词。句意：因此，他的大部分青年时期都在旅行中度过。as a result“因此”为固定短语，位于句首首字母大写。故填As。
【39题详解】
考查定语从句。句意：在旅途中，他被公认为诗人，并结识了同时期的其他诗人，包括被称为浪漫主义诗人的李白。分析句子可知，空处引导非限制定语从句，修饰先行词Li Bai，先行词为人，在从句中作主语，故用关系代词who。故填who。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意：杜甫早期的诗歌赞美了自然世界的美，并惋惜时光的流逝。分析句子可知，空处应填定冠词the，特指自然世界的美。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查时态。句意：他很快开始写关于战争的诗，如《兵车行》。描写过去发生的一次性动作，应用一般过去时，空处应用动词begin“开始”的过去式形式began。故填began。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意：特别是在755年至759年这段混乱的时期，随着他的成熟，他的诗歌开始对陷入无意义战争中的人类发出同情之声。分析句子可知，空处应填副词especially“尤其”在句中作状语。故填especially。
【43题详解】
考查代词。句意：杜甫在中国文学史上不可替代的地位建立在他卓越的经典主义之上。分析句子可知，空处应填形容词性物主代词在句中作定语。故填his。
【44题详解】
考查名词。句意：他是当时所有流行诗歌风格的专家，而他对诗歌的掌握在律诗(或称“格律诗”)中达到了顶峰。可数名词style“风格”前有all修饰，应用复数形式。故填styles。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意：他是当时所有流行诗歌风格的专家，而他对诗歌的掌握在律诗(或称“格律诗”)中达到了顶峰。at one’s height是固定短语，意为“在最高潮，在最盛时，在顶点”。故填height。

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 was confident at the tryout for the school play and felt pleased to gel 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 tone 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 to rehearse.
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 nervous, 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 nervous everyone became. The worries bounced from one person to another—like a baton being passed in a relay race—until the whole of the backstage area seemed to be buzzing with tension (紧张) and worry.
I was on stage early, performing my non-spoken role in the background with several other guys around the same age. When，suddenly, I heard my cue，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左右；
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
No one commented on my missed sentence——apart from my drama teacher.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文
But I suddenly realized I had missed a sentence. What should I do I chose to go 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 off 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.” I felt reassured. It seemed like my teacher was saying it is okay to learn. You don’t have to be perfect, especially when you start something new.
