When she was 61，Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean.In March 2021，she was one of the 12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun，salt and fierce currents.“We would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours，” she says.“For the first 15 days，I was seasick，so I hardly ate anything.I was just rowing and collapsing.I went through some pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water，Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean.“I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself，” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53，after spotting a six-oar(桨) rowing boat in Bristol harbor.Attracted by its size and appearance，she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run.“As soon as I got on the water，I fell in love with it，” she says.“Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017，though，that her Atlantic plans were born.Suffering from a herniated disc(椎间盘突出)，she was only able to crawl out of bed.“I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery，” she says.“One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better，I would row across an ocean.”
After successful surgery，Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows.Hearing the experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence.Soon after，she heard that a new boat producer was organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June，I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64，and I want to motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year.After all，we need things to look back on，” she says.
24．What do we know about Davies’ journey across the Atlantic
A．She suffered a lot during the process.
B．She fell apart and abandoned the task.
C．She was the oldest woman to finish it.
D．She rowed along with six other women.
25．How did Davies feel about her first attempt to row
A．Painful. B．Frightened.
C．Confident. D．Impressed.
26．What inspired Davies to row across an ocean
A．A trial row on a six-oar rowing boat.
B．Support from a boat company.
C．Stories of some women adventurers.
D．Sufferings from her back pain.
27．Which of the following can best describe Davies

B．Humble and self-motivated.
C．Determined and easy-going.
D．Strong-willed and ambitious.

A genetic change known as the Himalayan gene has made Siamese cats’ fur extra sensitive to temperature—but also leaves them easy to get certain diseases.
With 73 cat breeds recognized by the International Cat Association，it can be difficult to discern a Ragdoll from a Ragamuffin.Most of us，though，can pick out a Siamese cat.Known for their dark eye masks，nose，and tail—called “points” that stand out against their cream-colored bodies and sparkling blue eyes，the Siamese is one of the world’s easily recognized breeds.
Those trademark points stem from a genetic change known as the Himalayan gene，which was discovered in the breed in 2005.This hidden gene，passed down from both parents，also gives the felines(猫科动物) temperature-sensitive fur that can change color.
In the mother’s body，Siamese kittens develop at temperatures of about 101 Fahrenheit，a cat’s normal temperature.Once born，all-white kittens eventually begin to cool at their extremities(端点)，such as their tail，legs，ears，and face.These lower temperatures cause the Himalayan gene to activate the body’s melanin(黑色素)，also found in people.That’s why a Siamese cat’s warmer bodies stay light，but their cooler parts become darker as they mature.
“You can see them change，” says Betsy Arnold，a vet who runs a cats-only practice in Rochester，New York，and started breeding Siamese when she was in her teens.
At about two weeks old，Arnold says，dark color begins to spread to their limbs.By about a month old，their final color emerges，which may be one of several varieties，among them blue point，lilac point，chocolate point，and seal point，which has a light，cream-colored coat with dark brown color on its paws，tail，nose，and ears.
28．What may the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean
A．Take care of those sick cats.
B．Tell the difference between them.
C．Take them back to the rescue center.
D．Evaluate their health conditions.
29．Why is a Siamese cat easy to recognize from others
A．It stands out against other cream-colored cats.
B．Its fur is sensitive to the temperature outside.
C．It has a genetic change—the Himalayan gene.
D．Its extremities are all dark-colored with blue eyes.
30．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The color change of a Siamese is a gradual process.
B．An elderly Siamese can change its color.
C．A Siamese can only change its color to black.
D．Siamese cats are sensitive to climate change.
31．What might be the best title for the article
A．How Siamese Cats Change Their Colors
B．How a Mysterious Gene Was Found in Nature
C．What Scientists Found in Himalaya
D．Why a Siamese Cat Looks Strange

At first look，the playground at the Children’s Guild—Transformation Academy in Baltimore，Maryland，looks like any other.It has swings，slides，and places for children to climb and crawl.But the playground is not just a place for fun.It is also a place where students can learn，grow and gain independence.Everything—from the kind of surface it sits on，to the color of its sitting areas，to the placement of the surrounding fence—is specifically designed for kids with autism(自闭症)．
Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy.He said the school accepts students who are aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and are lower-functioning.
Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life.The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills，as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking.
The playground designed by Maryland company Sparks@Play，using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures，Inc.，took a month to develop，said Dan Hack.He works for Sparks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design.Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started.The design process involved physical therapists，occupational therapists，and other specialists.The huge $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation.
Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities.The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open.And the ground under the play areas is made of soft，but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches.The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away，but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements，Hack said.They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity.They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved.The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy，they can sit down and feel the bench，which can help them relax.
32．Why is the playground in Baltimore designed with special materials
A．To make it superior to other playgrounds.
B．To better serve children with autism.
C．To improve the quality of the playground.
D．To make it easier for kids to climb and crawl.
33．What can we learn from the playground project
A．It took months to complete the project.
B．The design process is simple and easy.
C．The result of the project is uncertain.
D．It’s a money-consuming project.
34．What is the last paragraph mainly about
A．The scale and the structure of the playground.
B．Ways for kids to free from stress and relax themselves.
C．The underlying logic and reasonable factors of the playground.
D．The advantages of the playground for autism and disabled kids.
35．Which best describes the playground in Baltimore
A．Advanced.
B．Environmental-friendly.
C．Functional.
D．Convenient.

Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people，so it’s beneficial to know how to eat more mindfully.Here are some techniques for eating at a healthy pace.
Remove all distractions while you eat. 36 Make sure your cellphone is face down and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Take enough time to finish your meal.Even with all distractions removed，very often you still find yourself eating faster than you should. 37 It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.
38 You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich.One way to slowdown is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal.Ask yourself: What’s on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell，the taste and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Limit the amount of the food you might munch(大口吃) on mindlessly.Put a small amount of snack food，like potato chips，in a separate bowl to help avoid mindless munching. 39 Putting aside some of the food can help you eat less at a healthier pace.
Actually chew.If you’re wolfing down(狼吞虎咽)your food，you’re probably not chewing it.And chewing is an important part of digestion. 40 Look at each bite before putting it into your mouth，acknowledge what you’re eating and chew，chew，chew.
A．Notice all the little details about your food.
B．Limit your time for a meal within 20 minutes.
C．It helps break up the foods so it’s easier for absorption.
D．Watch out for your food intake and the time you spend on it.

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。
Edward and Stephen were both eighteen years old.Their friendship was so close that they felt like brothers.They had known each other since childhood，growing up in the same block in Liverpool.
Edward was fair-skinned and lean，while Stephen was dark-complexioned and short.Edward’s brown hair was always falling over his eyes，while Stephen wore his black hair in a natural style.
Each youngster had a dream of someday becoming champion of the world.Whenever they had time，the boys worked out at the Fencing(击剑) Club.Early morning sunrise would find them running along the Mersey River，wrapped in sweatshirts，with short towels around their necks.
Edward and Stephen studied hard and dreamt positively.Between them，they had a notebook filled with torn tickets of every fencing match they had ever attended.They each had taken part in many elimination bouts(淘汰赛) and had won many gold medals.The difference was in their style.
As fencers，Edward’s lean form and long reach made him better in attack，while Stephen’s short and muscular frame made him speedy in movement.Whenever they had met in the piste(击剑台)，it had always been intense and competitive.
After a series of elimination bouts，they were informed that they were to meet each other in the finals next month—the winner to represent the Club in the Championship Tournament.
Fencing was like any other profession.The two boys knew friendship had nothing to do with it.But how would the competition affect their relationship？Every day they continued to run together along the Mersey River.However，while joking with each other，they both sensed an invisible wall rising between them.
The day before the finals，they met as usual for their daily workout.After a mile or so，Stephen stopped.
注意：1.续写词数应为150个左右；
2．请按如下格式在答题纸的相应位置作答。

M：That trip to the Atlas Mountains of North Africa was a very stressful experience.
W：What happened
M：It was a two-week hike through the mountains.We had to cook our own food and set up camp each night.
W：That sounds easy for you.You’re always spending weekends away in the wild.
M：Yes，but only for two or three days！The maximum I’d done before this was eight nights，and I usually found nice woodlands to sleep in or warm beaches.This place was cold and uncomfortable with loads of wild animals.
W：Like the Atlas lion
M：No.But there were wolves！I could hear them calling in the distance at night！Plus，there were spiders and snakes everywhere！One of the group found a snake next to her when she woke up in the morning!
W：What？Did she get bitten
M：No，I observed that the snake was poisonous，but it didn’t want to hurt her.It just wanted to keep warm！Anyway，we eventually made it across to the desert on the other side.

M：OK.Thank you.Now I would like to know your feelings about your journey.So what really floated your boat today
W：Well，the Wi-Fi has improved a lot.It makes it easier for me to work even if the room isn’t big enough.
M：That’s the first time today anyone’s mentioned that.It’s good to get some positive feedback on that.
W：Mmm.
M：And，is there anything you weren’t satisfied with
W：Well，normally，the trains run on time and are pretty reliable but today it was 15 minutes late.
M：OK.I’ll put that down.Now I’d also like to ask about the facilities at this station.You’ve probably noticed that.Can you say something
W：I think the best thing is that they’ve improved the amount of information about train times that’s given to passengers—before there was only one board.But now there is an electronic display panel.Every time I walk to the platform，I can clearly and quickly know when my train will come.
M：That’s good.Anything else
W：Let’s see...One thing is that there aren’t enough places to sit down，especially on the platforms.
M：OK—so I’ll put“seating” down.Thanks for your time.

M：Good afternoon，everyone.I’m your old friend Henry Brown.It’s Nature Time again.In today’s program，I’d like to tell you about a rescued young dolphin.The dolphin was just 5 days old when she was found far from water on the muddy ground in a nature reserve.She became stuck there.A man who was watching birds spotted the baby dolphin surrounded by cattle in mud through his telescope.He immediately called the nature reserve that helped the little dolphin to safety.Once she was rescued，she was sent straight to the hospital，where animal doctors took care of her.The baby dolphin couldn’t breathe normally，so the animal doctors had to deal with it first.Now she’s doing well and gaining weight.But she isn’t ready to be returned to the sea yet.She needs to weigh between 30 and 40 kilograms.She also needs to be able to feed in the water by herself before she can be set free.It is not known exactly how she got so far from the sea.Luckily，she is getting better.Doctors named her “Lucky”．Well，thanks for listening to our program.See you next week.

When she was 61，Sian Davies decided to row across the Atlantic Ocean.In March 2021，she was one of the 12 crew members who set out on the 3,000-mile journey from Tenerife to battle sun，salt and fierce currents.“We would row in three-hour shifts and only sleep for an hour or so every six hours，” she says.“For the first 15 days，I was seasick，so I hardly ate anything.I was just rowing and collapsing.I went through some pretty dark times.”
But after 42 days on the water，Davies reached Antigua to become one of the only six women in the world over the age of 60 to have rowed across an ocean.“I was exhausted and I was also so proud of myself，” she says.
Davies began rowing when she was 53，after spotting a six-oar(桨) rowing boat in Bristol harbor.Attracted by its size and appearance，she spoke to the crew and was encouraged to do a trial run.“As soon as I got on the water，I fell in love with it，” she says.“Feeling your whole body working and the fresh air on your skin is amazing.”
It wasn’t until 2017，though，that her Atlantic plans were born.Suffering from a herniated disc(椎间盘突出)，she was only able to crawl out of bed.“I began thinking of things I could look forward to after I had surgery，” she says.“One day I was reading about women adventurers when it hit me that once better，I would row across an ocean.”
After successful surgery，Davies began driving to meet other women who had undertaken rows.Hearing the experiences and advice of them gave Davies the confidence.Soon after，she heard that a new boat producer was organizing a team for a voyage across the Atlantic and she joined it immediately.
“In June，I’m planning to break a few world records by rowing around the UK when I’m 64，and I want to motorcycle through the Himalayas later in the year.After all，we need things to look back on，” she says.

(2025·江西九江十校联考)
A genetic change known as the Himalayan gene has made Siamese cats’ fur extra sensitive to temperature—but also leaves them easy to get certain diseases.
With 73 cat breeds recognized by the International Cat Association，it can be difficult to discern a Ragdoll from a Ragamuffin.Most of us，though，can pick out a Siamese cat.Known for their dark eye masks，nose，and tail—called “points” that stand out against their cream-colored bodies and sparkling blue eyes，the Siamese is one of the world’s easily recognized breeds.
Those trademark points stem from a genetic change known as the Himalayan gene，which was discovered in the breed in 2005.This hidden gene，passed down from both parents，also gives the felines(猫科动物) temperature-sensitive fur that can change color.
In the mother’s body，Siamese kittens develop at temperatures of about 101 Fahrenheit，a cat’s normal temperature.Once born，all-white kittens eventually begin to cool at their extremities(端点)，such as their tail，legs，ears，and face.These lower temperatures cause the Himalayan gene to activate the body’s melanin(黑色素)，also found in people.That’s why a Siamese cat’s warmer bodies stay light，but their cooler parts become darker as they mature.
“You can see them change，” says Betsy Arnold，a vet who runs a cats-only practice in Rochester，New York，and started breeding Siamese when she was in her teens.
At about two weeks old，Arnold says，dark color begins to spread to their limbs.By about a month old，their final color emerges，which may be one of several varieties，among them blue point，lilac point，chocolate point，and seal point，which has a light，cream-colored coat with dark brown color on its paws，tail，nose，and ears.
语篇解读 这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了喜马拉雅基因导致暹罗猫四肢、耳朵、尾巴等末端组织颜色变深的原理。
28．What may the underlined part in paragraph 2 mean
A．Take care of those sick cats.
B．Tell the difference between them.
C．Take them back to the rescue center.
D．Evaluate their health conditions.
答案 B
解析 词义猜测题。根据第二段前两句“With 73 cat breeds recognized by the International Cat Association，it can be difficult to...Most of us，though，can pick out a Siamese cat.”可知，猫的品种很多，但暹罗猫因其独特的特点很容易辨认，故推知大部分猫都很难区分，故画线部分应表示“分辨它们之间的区别”。故选B。
29．Why is a Siamese cat easy to recognize from others
A．It stands out against other cream-colored cats.
B．Its fur is sensitive to the temperature outside.
C．It has a genetic change—the Himalayan gene.
D．Its extremities are all dark-colored with blue eyes.
答案 D
解析 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Known for their dark eye masks...the Siamese is one of the world’s easily recognized breeds.”及第四段的“Once born，all-white kittens eventually begin to cool at their extremities(端点)，such as their tail，legs，ears，and face.These lower temperatures cause the Himalayan gene to activate the body’s melanin(黑色素)，also found in people.”可知，由于喜马拉雅基因激活了暹罗猫体内的黑色素，导致其四肢及尖端黑色素沉淀，而眼睛是蓝色的。这种特点使其易于辨认。故选D。
30．What can we infer from the last paragraph
A．The color change of a Siamese is a gradual process.
B．An elderly Siamese can change its color.
C．A Siamese can only change its color to black.
D．Siamese cats are sensitive to climate change.
答案 A
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段“At about two weeks old...dark color begins to spread to their limbs.By about a month old，their final color emerges...blue point，lilac point，chocolate point，and seal point，which has a light，cream-colored coat with dark brown color on its paws，tail，nose，and ears.”可知，暹罗猫的颜色变化是一个渐进的过程，不是一蹴而就的。故选A。
31．What might be the best title for the article
A．How Siamese Cats Change Their Colors
B．How a Mysterious Gene Was Found in Nature
C．What Scientists Found in Himalaya
D．Why a Siamese Cat Looks Strange
答案 A

At first look，the playground at the Children’s Guild—Transformation Academy in Baltimore，Maryland，looks like any other.It has swings，slides，and places for children to climb and crawl.But the playground is not just a place for fun.It is also a place where students can learn，grow and gain independence.Everything—from the kind of surface it sits on，to the color of its sitting areas，to the placement of the surrounding fence—is specifically designed for kids with autism(自闭症)．
Mark Rapaport is the managing director of autism services at the Transformation Academy.He said the school accepts students who are aged 5 to 21 with autism spectrum disorder(ASD) and are lower-functioning.
Rapaport said the goal of Transformation Academy is to make the students as independent as possible in an effort to help them prepare for adult life.The school aims to provide help with developing communication and social skills，as well as practical abilities like cleaning or cooking.
The playground designed by Maryland company Sparks@Play，using structures manufactured by Landscape Structures，Inc.，took a month to develop，said Dan Hack.He works for Sparks@Play and helped lead the playground’s design.Hack said he and others spent weeks getting to know the students and understanding their needs before any building was started.The design process involved physical therapists，occupational therapists，and other specialists.The huge $500,000 project was funded with support from the state of Maryland and the nonprofit Orokawa Foundation.
Parts of the playground that seem small are very important for children with autism and other disabilities.The surrounding fence extends into a wooded area to make it seem more open.And the ground under the play areas is made of soft，but solid materials to support students using wheelchairs or crutches.The benches on the outside of the playground look simple from far away，but are “one of our most inclusive sensory” elements，Hack said.They have many different colors that bring about feelings of calm and curiosity.They are also made with smooth material that can be felt and moved.The academy’s Rapaport said if a child starts to feel uneasy，they can sit down and feel the bench，which can help them relax.

Research has shown that mindful eating has positive impacts on people，so it’s beneficial to know how to eat more mindfully.Here are some techniques for eating at a healthy pace.
Remove all distractions while you eat. 36 Make sure your cellphone is face down and you’re not going to be responding to any messages that come through.
Take enough time to finish your meal.Even with all distractions removed，very often you still find yourself eating faster than you should. 37 It takes about that time for your body to get the signal to the brain that you are full.
38 You might wonder how to spend 20 whole minutes eating a sandwich.One way to slowdown is to engage your senses and think through all the details about your meal.Ask yourself: What’s on my plate How hungry am I today Is it too salty Notice the smell，the taste and whatever other senses that arise as you eat.
Limit the amount of the food you might munch(大口吃) on mindlessly.Put a small amount of snack food，like potato chips，in a separate bowl to help avoid mindless munching. 39 Putting aside some of the food can help you eat less at a healthier pace.
Actually chew.If you’re wolfing down(狼吞虎咽)your food，you’re probably not chewing it.And chewing is an important part of digestion. 40 Look at each bite before putting it into your mouth，acknowledge what you’re eating and chew，chew，chew.
A．Notice all the little details about your food.
B．Limit your time for a meal within 20 minutes.
C．It helps break up the foods so it’s easier for absorption.
D．Watch out for your food intake and the time you spend on it.
E．When you sit down to eat，spend at least 20 minutes doing so.
F．If you have a whole bag of it，it is challenging to stop after several bites.
G．They can limit your ability to enjoy your food and notice when you are full.
36．答案 G
解析 根据上文“Remove all distractions while you eat.(吃饭时排除一切干扰。)”可知，本句承接上文说明“吃饭时排除一切干扰”这一做法的原因。故G选项“它们会限制你享受食物的能力，也会限制你注意到自己已经吃饱的能力”符合语境，故选G。
37．答案 E
解析 根据上文“Take enough time to finish your meal...than you should.(花足够的时间吃完你的饭。即使排除了所有的干扰，你仍然经常发现自己吃得比你应该吃得快。)”以及下文“It takes about...you are full.(大约需要这段时间，你的身体才会向大脑发出你吃饱了的信号。)”可知，本句主要针对吃饭花费的时间提出建议。故E选项“当你坐下来吃饭时，至少花20分钟这样做”符合语境，故选E。
38．答案 A
解析 根据本段内容可知，下文提到注意你吃东西时产生的气味、味道和其他感觉，即建议注意食物的细节。故A选项“注意食物的所有小细节”符合语境，故选A。
39．答案 F
解析 上文“Put a small amount of snack food...avoid mindless munching.(把少量的零食，如薯片，放在一个单独的碗里，以帮助避免无意识地咀嚼。)”建议把零食单独放在一个碗里，由此可知本句承接上文，说明这么做的原因。故F选项“如果你有一整袋，吃几口就停止是很困难的”符合语境，故选F。
40．答案 C
解析 上文“And chewing is an important part of digestion.(咀嚼是消化的重要组成部分。)”提到了咀嚼的重要性，由此可知本句应说明咀嚼的作用。故C选项“它有助于分解食物，这样更容易被吸收”符合语境，故选C。

59．答案 confused
解析 考查形容词。系动词get之后用形容词担当表语。动词confuse有两种形容词形式：confused修饰人，意为“感到困惑的”；confusing修饰物，意为“令人困惑的”。本句主语new drivers是人。故填confused。
60．答案 approaching
解析 考查状语从句的省略。这里为状语从句的省略：当when引导的状语从句主语和主句主语一致，且状语从句谓语含有be的某种形式时，从句主语和be可省略。本句中when引导的状语从句完整形式为“when they are approaching a crossroads”。故填approaching。
61．答案 equipped
解析 考查非谓语动词。这里为非谓语动词担当后置定语，equip和被修饰词“crossroads”之间存在被动关系，应用其过去分词形式。故填equipped。
62．答案 carefulness
解析 考查名词。介词with之后用名词形式，构成短语with carefulness，意为“谨慎地”。故填carefulness。
63．答案 is prohibited
解析 考查时态、语态和主谓一致。根据上下文可知，本句时态为一般现在时；主语为parking，与probihit之间为被动关系，所以用被动语态，且主语parking为第三人称单数，be动词用单数。故填prohibited。
64．答案 the
解析 考查冠词。此处指每小时80千米的限速，表特指，应用定冠词the。故填the。
65．答案 to talk
解析 考查非谓语动词。非谓语动词担当allow之后的主语补足语，用不定式形式，构成sb be allowed to do sth“不允许某人做某事”。故填to talk。

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。
Edward and Stephen were both eighteen years old.Their friendship was so close that they felt like brothers.They had known each other since childhood，growing up in the same block in Liverpool.
Edward was fair-skinned and lean，while Stephen was dark-complexioned and short.Edward’s brown hair was always falling over his eyes，while Stephen wore his black hair in a natural style.
Each youngster had a dream of someday becoming champion of the world.Whenever they had time，the boys worked out at the Fencing(击剑) Club.Early morning sunrise would find them running along the Mersey River，wrapped in sweatshirts，with short towels around their necks.
Edward and Stephen studied hard and dreamt positively.Between them，they had a notebook filled with torn tickets of every fencing match they had ever attended.They each had taken part in many elimination bouts(淘汰赛) and had won many gold medals.The difference was in their style.
As fencers，Edward’s lean form and long reach made him better in attack，while Stephen’s short and muscular frame made him speedy in movement.Whenever they had met in the piste(击剑台)，it had always been intense and competitive.
After a series of elimination bouts，they were informed that they were to meet each other in the finals next month—the winner to represent the Club in the Championship Tournament.
Fencing was like any other profession.The two boys knew friendship had nothing to do with it.But how would the competition affect their relationship？Every day they continued to run together along the Mersey River.However，while joking with each other，they both sensed an invisible wall rising between them.
The day before the finals，they met as usual for their daily workout.After a mile or so，Stephen stopped.

“I think we both got something to say to each other.” Stephen said.Edward acknowledged this with a nod.For a brief，uneasy moment，silence filled the air.“Let’s be honest with each other，” Stephen proposed，his voice steady and resolute.Edward gazed at him，and a silent recognition and sense of comfort exchanged between them.“Absolutely! We’ve shared a bond that goes beyond mere competition；we’re brothers，” Edward affirmed.At last they reached an agreement that they would treat the upcoming match with intense competition and fair play.The following day marked the arrival of the finals.
As the two went onto the piste，the audience held their breath.Edward and Stephen stood face to face，their friendship temporarily forgotten in the heat of competition.Each fencer displayed his own distinct talent，Edward’s precise attacks and Stephen’s swift footwork，leaving the audience unable to guess who would come out as a winner.The boys were completely engaged in the match，and in the final second，Stephen was narrowly defeated.In the thunderous applause from the audience，they embraced tightly，fully aware that whoever the champion was，the true champion was their unbreakable bond of friendship.
