阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four beautiful gardens in Europe
Giardino Giusti, Verona, Italy
Any list of European gardens must begin with Italy. This garden reached a peak during the Renaissance and has barely changed since. Its fundamental principles remain elegance and relaxation. Giardino Giusti, in the northern city of Verona and once well-known among the influential families of 16th-century Europe, showcases this timeless artistry. Adult ?15, child ?9.
Stavros Niarchos Park, Athens, Greece
There’s no need to leave the capital to experience Greece’s silver-leaved evergreens. Formerly a car park for the 2004 Olympic Games, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano in 2016 to house Greece’s national library, opera and a forward-thinking public park. With a gentle slope (斜坡) designed to restore a vital sea view, the park has olive-tree walks, environment-friendly planting, fountains, a vast roof garden and a playground. Free.
Latour-Marliac, Aquitaine, France
The inspiration behind Monet’s water lily (睡莲) paintings can be found at Latour-Marliac, 400 miles to the south of the impressionist’s Giverny garden. The former home and experimental ground of 19th-century plantsman Joseph Bory Latour-Marliac, this garden in the Lot-et-Garonne department was where Monet purchased the many-coloured lilies for his garden in Normandy. Adult ?8, child ?4.
Jonsered Gardens, near Gothenburg, Sweden
Once the home of industrial pioneer William Gibson, who provided living, healthcare and childcare facilities at Jonsered for the workers at his canvas mill (帆布厂), the gardens were reimagined in 2010 with a progressive view towards improved accessibility and biodiversity. A 20-minute train ride from the centre of Gothenburg, Jonsered features formal, decorative and kitchen gardens as well as a “classic English Garden”, which was designed in 2016 by British garden writer Susie White as part of a cultural exchange. Free.
1. How much should a couple and their child pay if they go on a tour of Giardino Giusti
A. ?18. B. ?24. C. ?30. D. ?39.
2. What do we know about Latour-Marliac
A. It is open to the public free of charge. B. It inspired Monet to paint water lilies.
C. It was designed by an Italian architect. D. It is fairly close to Monet’s Giverny garden.
3. Who was the owner of Jonsered Gardens
A. Renzo. B. Susie. C. William. D. Joseph.
B
Before he started a company 15 years ago selling the world’ s smelliest fruit, Eric Chan had a well-paying job writing code for satellites and robots. His family and friends were puzzled when he made the career change.
The fruit, durian (榴莲), has long been a cherished part of local cultures in Southeast Asia, where it is grown in abundance. A single durian is typically the size of a rugby ball and can emit an odor (气味) so powerful that it is banned from most hotels. When Mr. Chan began his start-up in his native Malaysia, durians were cheap and often sold from the back of trucks.
Then, China acquired a taste for durian in a very big way. Last year, the value of durian exports from Southeast Asia to China was $6.7 billion, a twelvefold increase from $550 million in 2017. China buys virtually all of the world’s exported durians, according to United Nations data. Today, businesses are expanding rapidly — one Thai company is planning an initial public offering this year — and some durian farmers have become millionaires. Mr. Chan is one of them.
Seven years ago, he sold a controlling share of his company, which specializes in producing durian paste for cookies, ice cream and even pizza, for about $4.5 million, nearly 50 times his initial investment. “Everybody has been making good money,” Mr. Chan said of the once-poor durian farmers in Raub, a small city 90 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital. “They rebuilt their houses from wood to brick. And they can afford to send their children overseas for university.”
Farmers in Southeast Asian durian orchards (果园) say they can’t recall anything like the China craze. When an increasingly wealthy country of 1.4 billion people gets a taste for something, entire regions of Asia are reshaped to meet the demand.
In Vietnam, state news media reported last month that farmers were cutting down coffee plants to make room for durian. And in Malaysia, jungles in the hills outside Raub are being razed and terraced (开垦梯田) to make way for plantations that will cater to China’s need for the fruit. “I think durian will be the new economic boom for Malaysia,” said Mohamad Sabu, the country’s minister of agriculture.
4. What can be learned about durians from the text
A. They used to be inexpensive in Southeast Asia.
B. They are widely grown both in China and Malaysia.
C. Eric Chan turned them into a popular fruit in China.
D. Southeast Asians don’t eat them due to their odor.
5. Which of the following is true according to Para.3
A. The number of durian farmers in China has increased sharply.
B. The durian export market has remained stable over the years.
C. China is the biggest consumer of the world’s exported durians.
D. The value of durian exports has decreased significantly since 2017.
6. What impact has China’s demand for durians had on Southeast Asian agriculture
A. Farmers are growing durians in other countries.
B. The profitability of coffee plants is decreasing.
C. Farmers are turning other lands into durian orchards.
D. New technology is applied to increase durian productivity.
7. What is the primary subject of the text
A. The unexpected craze for tropical fruits in China.
B. The impact of China’s demand for durians on Southeast Asia.
C. The career change of Eric Chan from coding to selling durians.
D. The history and cultural significance of durians in Southeast Asia.
C
The deep sea has long been treated as somehow separate from the surface world, a shadowy non-place populated by alien creatures. While this is partly a response to the difficulty of studying it, it also reflects a rooted tendency.
As the writer Robert Macfarlane has observed, humans are creatures of the air and light, and we have often regarded the spaces beneath our feet with prejudice, associating them with death, the unseen and unnameable. And while what Macfarlane calls the underland might be a place of ritual (宗教仪式) power as well as a place of burial, the ocean’s depths are more frequently linked with loss and forgetting.
For European sailors across the waters of the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic and Indian oceans, however, all that really mattered in navigational practices was knowing where potential obstacles and risks such as reefs and sandbars lay — a way of thinking that transformed the ocean’s depths into a blank irrelevance.
It was not until the early 19th century that a more detailed scientific understanding of the deep began to take shape.
In part, this was a result of the growing reach of the colonial powers: as the commercial and territorial desire of Europeans and Americans expanded to envelop the globe, the need for more accurate and more detailed knowledge of the ocean grew as well. But it also grew out of the experiences of whalers, whose voyages were now taking them far out into the open waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, and leading to an awareness of the great depths to which whales would often dive.
But it was not until the Challenger expedition round the world on its pioneering scientific survey of the world’s oceans in the 1870s that the true extent of the deep ocean finally started to emerge. In the north-west Pacific, where the Mariana Trench plunges downwards into the planet’s crust (地壳), HMS Challenger recorded depths of more than 8,000 metres. Perhaps even more stunning to the scientists of the day, though, was Challenger’ s discovery of tiny shells — and therefore living things — more than 7,000 metres down.
8. What is the common perception of the deep ocean
A. It is seen as a safe shelter for endangered species.
B. It is often associated with death and the unknown.
C. It is viewed as a place of ritual power and respect.
D. It is regarded as a mysterious hiding place of treasures.
9. The European sailors viewed the deep ocean as ______.
A. a place full of alien-like creatures. B. a navigational guide to avoid dangers.
C. an important area to map and understand. D. an insignificant area unworthy of exploration.
10. What significant discovery did the Challenger expedition make
A. It recorded the first accurate depths of the ocean.
B. It successfully sailed across all of the oceans in the world.
C. It discovered living organisms at depths of the deep ocean.
D. It found that no life could exist at depths greater than 7,000 metres.
11. What is the most appropriate title for the passage
A. The Evolution of Deep Sea Exploration. B. European Sailors and Ocean Navigation.
C. The Fear and Mystery of the Deep Ocean. D. The Underland: A Place of Ritual and Burial.
D
They declared that it was dead — or, if it wasn’t dead yet, it soon would be. The cause of its death was viral: first blogs, then influencers on Instagram and TikTok. Yet, for all journalists’ poor prediction, the printed travel guide is still going strong. Sales in Britain were mostly flat in 2014-19, a period when smartphones became both widespread and powerful.
But why do guidebooks still roll off the presses when all the information you could need is in your pocket One answer is that print is a useful medium for information on the go. Books can be scribbled（涂写）on and marked; they need no charging or internet access. Another is that guidebooks have changed with the times. Nitya Chambers, Lonely Planet’ s executive editor, says the innovation was driven by market research that showed that readers “have more information than ever before” on eating and stays, but are looking for things to do.
If print books are no longer selling comprehensiveness, then what is it they are selling One answer is authenticity. “I can’t help people that just want to do what everybody else does,” Mr Steves says. Another is simplicity. “The more content out there, the better for guide publishers,” says Rene Frey, who publishes Rough Guides and Insight Guides.
Trust — or, rather, brand — is important. Mr Steves and Lonely Planet’s founders, Tony and Maureen Wheeler, all produced their first guides decades ago, in an era when both international travel and self-publishing were expensive and rare. That allowed them to stand out and build businesses. Now, thanks to cheap air fares and social media, anyone can comment on restaurants on the other side of the world. But ambitious travel writers will find that it is hard to gain wide attention online.
One market in which guidebooks have struggled is China, the world’s biggest spender on oversea tourism. On June 26th Lonely Planet announced that it was closing its China branch after ten years. Many Chinese travel as part of organized tours, so see no need for guides; younger travellers are more likely to organize their own routes, but rely on digital resources rather than books.
The most popular app for tourists is Xiaohongshu, which Rest of World, a digital news outlet, describes as “a cross between a niche subreddit, a Tripadvisor page and a video game”. Gaode, a map app, offers user-generated lists of “must-visit sites”. Perhaps, in time, similar apps may take off in the West.
12. What does the underlined phrase in Para.2 probably mean
A. lose balance and fall from the printer. B. turn over and face a different direction.
C. become unpopular and gradually forgotten. D. get printed and published in large quantities.
13. What does the example of Tony and Maureen Wheeler illustrate
A. The value of building a brand in the travel guide industry.
B. The contradictory opinions about restaurants on social media.
C. The decline of people’s attention on travel writings and guides.
D. The importance of offering the most comprehensive information.
14. How do Chinese travellers obtain information
A. By consulting international travel agencies.
B. By sharing lists of sites with friends and families.
C. Through printed travel guides like Lonely Planet.
D. By relying on organized tours and mobile applications.
15. The author’s attitude towards the future of travel guides in the West is ______.
A. uncertain. B. optimistic.
C. pessimistic. D. disapproval.

Culture shock is the feeling of losing direction experienced by someone suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture and way of life. ____16____. This guide will inform you of the different stages of culture shock, helping you be better mentally prepared.
1. The Honeymoon Stage
The first stage of culture shock is often overwhelmingly positive during which travelers become fascinated with the language, people and food in their new surroundings. ____17____. On short trips, the honeymoon phase may take over the entire experience as the later effects of culture shock don’t have time to set in.
2. The Frustration Stage

3. The Adjustment Stage
____19____. Navigation becomes easier, friends and communities of support are established and details of local languages may become more recognizable during the adjustment stage. People are comfortable with the cultures, people, food and languages of new environments.

A Friendship Renewed
It was meant to be the biggest moment of their high school lives — the yearly drama competition where Judith and her closest friend Melanie were set to shine. They had worked hard on rehearsals (排练), refining every line and movement to perfection. But on the day of the grand show, their dreams fell apart.
As Melanie stumbled over (说错) her lines and the tension on stage became obvious, Judith could hear the murmurs of dissatisfaction from the audience. When the curtain finally closed, Judith turned to see Melanie’s eyes filled with tears.
“I’m so sorry, Judith,” Melanie whispered. “I ruined everything.”
Judith wanted to say some words of comfort, but the pain of their failure was too fresh. Instead, she just shook her head silently and walked away.
In the days that followed, Judith and Melanie’ s once-close friendship began to fall apart. Melanie, feeling guilty, stayed away from the drama club, avoiding Judith and any chance to perform. Judith, on the other hand, poured her sorrow into her academics.
A few weeks later, their school organized an outdoor team-building trip, so the two friends had to face the problems between them. Paired together for a series of challenging activities, they didn’t work well with each other. Then their friendly instructor Freya discovered their tension.
“I can see there’ s something holding you two back,” Freya said, her eyes studying the girls. “Want to share what’s going on ”
“It’s just...” Melanie began. “We used to be so close, but then I messed up that big show, and I...” She stopped hesitantly.
“I see,” Freya said thoughtfully. “Well, I’ve seen my fair share of setbacks. But you know what I’ve also seen The power of friendship to overcome them.”
As Freya shared stories of her own struggles and the lessons she had learned, Judith and Melanie found themselves nodding in understanding.
“The truth is,” Freya said, “we all make mistakes. But the real test of a friendship is how you support each other through the hard times.”
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。
Seeing the girls were still awkward with each other, Freya realized that she could do something.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the last day of the trip, Judith and Melanie took the stage for a shared performance.

Emojis have become an integral part of online communication and I firmly believe they can greatly enhance our interactions.
Emojis allow us to express emotions that can be difficult to convey through text alone. They add personality, warmth and clarity to our messages. When used appropriately, emojis can make our interactions more engaging and relatable. Additionally, emojis serve as a universal language that bridges cultural barriers, making online communication more inclusive and accessible for everyone.
Overall, the sensible use of emojis can significantly improve the quality of our digital exchanges.

【47题答案】
【答案】One possible version:
Seeing the girls were still awkward with each other, Freya realized that she could do something. She suggested they prepare a short performance for the campfire night on the last day of the trip. The girls exchanged uncertain looks. But they agreed when they saw the glimmer of hope in Freya’ s eyes, realizing that this might be the chance they had been waiting for to rebuild the bridge they had lost. Over the next few days, they worked together, choosing a piece that held deep meaning for both of them. As they practiced, old memories resurfaced, and they began to open their hearts, laughing and supporting each other just as they used to.
On the last day of the trip, Judith and Melanie took the stage for a shared performance. Melanie, though still nervous, drew strength from Judith’ s unwavering support and the lessons learned from Freya. The lines flowed naturally and their movements were in perfect harmony, as if they were dancing to the rhythm of their shared dream. Together, they delivered a heartfelt and moving performance, receiving thunderous applause. They not only overcame their individual fears and setbacks, but also rediscovered the power of their bond. From that day forward, they stood side by side, supporting and encouraging each other, not just onstage but in every aspect of their lives.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Four beautiful gardens in Europe
Giardino Giusti, Verona, Italy
Any list of European gardens must begin with Italy. This garden reached a peak during the Renaissance and has barely changed since. Its fundamental principles remain elegance and relaxation. Giardino Giusti, in the northern city of Verona and once well-known among the influential families of 16th-century Europe, showcases this timeless artistry. Adult ?15, child ?9.
Stavros Niarchos Park, Athens, Greece
There’s no need to leave the capital to experience Greece’s silver-leaved evergreens. Formerly a car park for the 2004 Olympic Games, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre was designed by Italian architect Renzo Piano in 2016 to house Greece’s national library, opera and a forward-thinking public park. With a gentle slope (斜坡) designed to restore a vital sea view, the park has olive-tree walks, environment-friendly planting, fountains, a vast roof garden and a playground. Free.
Latour-Marliac, Aquitaine, France
The inspiration behind Monet’s water lily (睡莲) paintings can be found at Latour-Marliac, 400 miles to the south of the impressionist’s Giverny garden. The former home and experimental ground of 19th-century plantsman Joseph Bory Latour-Marliac, this garden in the Lot-et-Garonne department was where Monet purchased the many-coloured lilies for his garden in Normandy. Adult ?8, child ?4.
Jonsered Gardens, near Gothenburg, Sweden
Once the home of industrial pioneer William Gibson, who provided living, healthcare and childcare facilities at Jonsered for the workers at his canvas mill (帆布厂), the gardens were reimagined in 2010 with a progressive view towards improved accessibility and biodiversity. A 20-minute train ride from the centre of Gothenburg, Jonsered features formal, decorative and kitchen gardens as well as a “classic English Garden”, which was designed in 2016 by British garden writer Susie White as part of a cultural exchange. Free.
1. How much should a couple and their child pay if they go on a tour of Giardino Giusti
A. ?18. B. ?24. C. ?30. D. ?39.
2. What do we know about Latour-Marliac
A. It is open to the public free of charge. B. It inspired Monet to paint water lilies.
C. It was designed by an Italian architect. D. It is fairly close to Monet’s Giverny garden.
3. Who was the owner of Jonsered Gardens
A. Renzo. B. Susie. C. William. D. Joseph.
B
Before he started a company 15 years ago selling the world’ s smelliest fruit, Eric Chan had a well-paying job writing code for satellites and robots. His family and friends were puzzled when he made the career change.
The fruit, durian (榴莲), has long been a cherished part of local cultures in Southeast Asia, where it is grown in abundance. A single durian is typically the size of a rugby ball and can emit an odor (气味) so powerful that it is banned from most hotels. When Mr. Chan began his start-up in his native Malaysia, durians were cheap and often sold from the back of trucks.
Then, China acquired a taste for durian in a very big way. Last year, the value of durian exports from Southeast Asia to China was $6.7 billion, a twelvefold increase from $550 million in 2017. China buys virtually all of the world’s exported durians, according to United Nations data. Today, businesses are expanding rapidly — one Thai company is planning an initial public offering this year — and some durian farmers have become millionaires. Mr. Chan is one of them.
Seven years ago, he sold a controlling share of his company, which specializes in producing durian paste for cookies, ice cream and even pizza, for about $4.5 million, nearly 50 times his initial investment. “Everybody has been making good money,” Mr. Chan said of the once-poor durian farmers in Raub, a small city 90 minutes from Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian capital. “They rebuilt their houses from wood to brick. And they can afford to send their children overseas for university.”
Farmers in Southeast Asian durian orchards (果园) say they can’t recall anything like the China craze. When an increasingly wealthy country of 1.4 billion people gets a taste for something, entire regions of Asia are reshaped to meet the demand.
In Vietnam, state news media reported last month that farmers were cutting down coffee plants to make room for durian. And in Malaysia, jungles in the hills outside Raub are being razed and terraced (开垦梯田) to make way for plantations that will cater to China’s need for the fruit. “I think durian will be the new economic boom for Malaysia,” said Mohamad Sabu, the country’s minister of agriculture.
4. What can be learned about durians from the text
A. They used to be inexpensive in Southeast Asia.
B. They are widely grown both in China and Malaysia.
C. Eric Chan turned them into a popular fruit in China.
D. Southeast Asians don’t eat them due to their odor.
5. Which of the following is true according to Para.3
A. The number of durian farmers in China has increased sharply.
B. The durian export market has remained stable over the years.
C. China is the biggest consumer of the world’s exported durians.
D. The value of durian exports has decreased significantly since 2017.
6. What impact has China’s demand for durians had on Southeast Asian agriculture
A. Farmers are growing durians in other countries.
B. The profitability of coffee plants is decreasing.
C. Farmers are turning other lands into durian orchards.
D. New technology is applied to increase durian productivity.
7. What is the primary subject of the text
A. The unexpected craze for tropical fruits in China.
B. The impact of China’s demand for durians on Southeast Asia.
C. The career change of Eric Chan from coding to selling durians.
D. The history and cultural significance of durians in Southeast Asia.
C
The deep sea has long been treated as somehow separate from the surface world, a shadowy non-place populated by alien creatures. While this is partly a response to the difficulty of studying it, it also reflects a rooted tendency.
As the writer Robert Macfarlane has observed, humans are creatures of the air and light, and we have often regarded the spaces beneath our feet with prejudice, associating them with death, the unseen and unnameable. And while what Macfarlane calls the underland might be a place of ritual (宗教仪式) power as well as a place of burial, the ocean’s depths are more frequently linked with loss and forgetting.
For European sailors across the waters of the Mediterranean sea and the Atlantic and Indian oceans, however, all that really mattered in navigational practices was knowing where potential obstacles and risks such as reefs and sandbars lay — a way of thinking that transformed the ocean’s depths into a blank irrelevance.
It was not until the early 19th century that a more detailed scientific understanding of the deep began to take shape.
In part, this was a result of the growing reach of the colonial powers: as the commercial and territorial desire of Europeans and Americans expanded to envelop the globe, the need for more accurate and more detailed knowledge of the ocean grew as well. But it also grew out of the experiences of whalers, whose voyages were now taking them far out into the open waters of the Atlantic and Pacific, and leading to an awareness of the great depths to which whales would often dive.
But it was not until the Challenger expedition round the world on its pioneering scientific survey of the world’s oceans in the 1870s that the true extent of the deep ocean finally started to emerge. In the north-west Pacific, where the Mariana Trench plunges downwards into the planet’s crust (地壳), HMS Challenger recorded depths of more than 8,000 metres. Perhaps even more stunning to the scientists of the day, though, was Challenger’ s discovery of tiny shells — and therefore living things — more than 7,000 metres down.
8. What is the common perception of the deep ocean
A. It is seen as a safe shelter for endangered species.
B. It is often associated with death and the unknown.
C. It is viewed as a place of ritual power and respect.
D. It is regarded as a mysterious hiding place of treasures.
9. The European sailors viewed the deep ocean as ______.
A. a place full of alien-like creatures. B. a navigational guide to avoid dangers.
C. an important area to map and understand. D. an insignificant area unworthy of exploration.
10. What significant discovery did the Challenger expedition make
A. It recorded the first accurate depths of the ocean.
B. It successfully sailed across all of the oceans in the world.
C. It discovered living organisms at depths of the deep ocean.
D. It found that no life could exist at depths greater than 7,000 metres.
11. What is the most appropriate title for the passage
A. The Evolution of Deep Sea Exploration. B. European Sailors and Ocean Navigation.
C. The Fear and Mystery of the Deep Ocean. D. The Underland: A Place of Ritual and Burial.
D
They declared that it was dead — or, if it wasn’t dead yet, it soon would be. The cause of its death was viral: first blogs, then influencers on Instagram and TikTok. Yet, for all journalists’ poor prediction, the printed travel guide is still going strong. Sales in Britain were mostly flat in 2014-19, a period when smartphones became both widespread and powerful.
But why do guidebooks still roll off the presses when all the information you could need is in your pocket One answer is that print is a useful medium for information on the go. Books can be scribbled（涂写）on and marked; they need no charging or internet access. Another is that guidebooks have changed with the times. Nitya Chambers, Lonely Planet’ s executive editor, says the innovation was driven by market research that showed that readers “have more information than ever before” on eating and stays, but are looking for things to do.
If print books are no longer selling comprehensiveness, then what is it they are selling One answer is authenticity. “I can’t help people that just want to do what everybody else does,” Mr Steves says. Another is simplicity. “The more content out there, the better for guide publishers,” says Rene Frey, who publishes Rough Guides and Insight Guides.
Trust — or, rather, brand — is important. Mr Steves and Lonely Planet’s founders, Tony and Maureen Wheeler, all produced their first guides decades ago, in an era when both international travel and self-publishing were expensive and rare. That allowed them to stand out and build businesses. Now, thanks to cheap air fares and social media, anyone can comment on restaurants on the other side of the world. But ambitious travel writers will find that it is hard to gain wide attention online.
One market in which guidebooks have struggled is China, the world’s biggest spender on oversea tourism. On June 26th Lonely Planet announced that it was closing its China branch after ten years. Many Chinese travel as part of organized tours, so see no need for guides; younger travellers are more likely to organize their own routes, but rely on digital resources rather than books.
The most popular app for tourists is Xiaohongshu, which Rest of World, a digital news outlet, describes as “a cross between a niche subreddit, a Tripadvisor page and a video game”. Gaode, a map app, offers user-generated lists of “must-visit sites”. Perhaps, in time, similar apps may take off in the West.
12. What does the underlined phrase in Para.2 probably mean
A. lose balance and fall from the printer. B. turn over and face a different direction.
C. become unpopular and gradually forgotten. D. get printed and published in large quantities.
13. What does the example of Tony and Maureen Wheeler illustrate
A. The value of building a brand in the travel guide industry.
B. The contradictory opinions about restaurants on social media.
C. The decline of people’s attention on travel writings and guides.
D. The importance of offering the most comprehensive information.
14. How do Chinese travellers obtain information
A. By consulting international travel agencies.
B. By sharing lists of sites with friends and families.
C. Through printed travel guides like Lonely Planet.
D. By relying on organized tours and mobile applications.
15. The author’s attitude towards the future of travel guides in the West is ______.
A. uncertain. B. optimistic.
C. pessimistic. D. disapproval.

A Friendship Renewed
It was meant to be the biggest moment of their high school lives — the yearly drama competition where Judith and her closest friend Melanie were set to shine. They had worked hard on rehearsals (排练), refining every line and movement to perfection. But on the day of the grand show, their dreams fell apart.
As Melanie stumbled over (说错) her lines and the tension on stage became obvious, Judith could hear the murmurs of dissatisfaction from the audience. When the curtain finally closed, Judith turned to see Melanie’s eyes filled with tears.
“I’m so sorry, Judith,” Melanie whispered. “I ruined everything.”
Judith wanted to say some words of comfort, but the pain of their failure was too fresh. Instead, she just shook her head silently and walked away.
In the days that followed, Judith and Melanie’ s once-close friendship began to fall apart. Melanie, feeling guilty, stayed away from the drama club, avoiding Judith and any chance to perform. Judith, on the other hand, poured her sorrow into her academics.
A few weeks later, their school organized an outdoor team-building trip, so the two friends had to face the problems between them. Paired together for a series of challenging activities, they didn’t work well with each other. Then their friendly instructor Freya discovered their tension.
“I can see there’ s something holding you two back,” Freya said, her eyes studying the girls. “Want to share what’s going on ”
“It’s just...” Melanie began. “We used to be so close, but then I messed up that big show, and I...” She stopped hesitantly.
“I see,” Freya said thoughtfully. “Well, I’ve seen my fair share of setbacks. But you know what I’ve also seen The power of friendship to overcome them.”
As Freya shared stories of her own struggles and the lessons she had learned, Judith and Melanie found themselves nodding in understanding.
“The truth is,” Freya said, “we all make mistakes. But the real test of a friendship is how you support each other through the hard times.”
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。
Seeing the girls were still awkward with each other, Freya realized that she could do something.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
On the last day of the trip, Judith and Melanie took the stage for a shared performance.

【答案】One possible version:
Seeing the girls were still awkward with each other, Freya realized that she could do something. She suggested they prepare a short performance for the campfire night on the last day of the trip. The girls exchanged uncertain looks. But they agreed when they saw the glimmer of hope in Freya’ s eyes, realizing that this might be the chance they had been waiting for to rebuild the bridge they had lost. Over the next few days, they worked together, choosing a piece that held deep meaning for both of them. As they practiced, old memories resurfaced, and they began to open their hearts, laughing and supporting each other just as they used to.
On the last day of the trip, Judith and Melanie took the stage for a shared performance. Melanie, though still nervous, drew strength from Judith’ s unwavering support and the lessons learned from Freya. The lines flowed naturally and their movements were in perfect harmony, as if they were dancing to the rhythm of their shared dream. Together, they delivered a heartfelt and moving performance, receiving thunderous applause. They not only overcame their individual fears and setbacks, but also rediscovered the power of their bond. From that day forward, they stood side by side, supporting and encouraging each other, not just onstage but in every aspect of their lives.
