World-renowned physicist Yang Chen-Ning passed away in Beijing at 103. As a Nobel laureate and academician, he was honored as “immortal” by Tsinghua University.
Yang, alongside Tsung-Dao Lee, won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for proposing parity non-conservation in weak interactions, becoming the first Chinese Nobel laureate. He is often ranked among the greatest physicists of the 20th century, like Einstein.
Born in 1922, Yang studied in China before pursuing a PhD at the University of Chicago in 1948. He later joined Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study and served as the Albert Einstein Professor at Stony Brook University until 1999. He returned to Tsinghua as a professor in 1999.
Yang’s scientific legacy is profound. Yang, having made seminal contributions to modern physics, is recognized as one of the most eminent physicists of the 20th century. His collaborative Yang-Mills theory laid a cornerstone for the Standard Model of particle physics, comparable to the work of Maxwell and Einstein. He was a member of numerous global academies and received over twenty honorary doctorates.
Beyond research, Yang maintained deep ties to his homeland. His 1971 visit to China helped bridge academic exchanges with the US. He advised China’s leadership on strengthening basic research, raised funds to support nearly a hundred Chinese scholars studying abroad, and contributed to major national scientific projects. After returning to Tsinghua, he dedicated himself to developing its Institute for Advanced Study, fostering talent, and influencing higher education reform.
His obituary (讣告) celebrated a life of legendary dedication to both science and nation—an eternal chapter among humanity’s stars.
4. What can we infer from Tsinghua University’s honoring Yang Chen-Ning as “immortal”
A. Yang had been working at Tsinghua University for most of his career.
B. Yang was the first professor to receive this honor from Tsinghua.
C. Tsinghua University highly valued Yang’s contributions to physics.
D. Yang had always maintained close ties with Tsinghua throughout his life.
5. The word “seminal” in Paragraph 4 most nearly means ________.
A. final and completed B. groundbreaking and significant
C. minor and unnoticed D. controversial and debated
6. According to the passage, what was one of Yang’s key actions to support China’s scientific development
A. He refused all honorary degrees from foreign universities.
B. He personally raised funds to sponsor Chinese scholar s for overseas study.
C. He stopped collaborating with international researchers after returning to China.
D. He worked only in experimental physics, not theory.
7. What is the main purpose of this passage
A. To explain the technical details of the Yang-Mills theory.
B. To document Yang Chen-Ning’s personal life year by year.
C. To honor Yang’s scientific achievements and his contributions to China’s scientific and educational progress.
D. To compare Yang’s career with that of Albert Einstein.
C
A total of 52 giant panda fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave in Suiyang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, making Shuanghe the site with the largest number of such fossils in the world, according to a Friday press conference on the results of the 24th International Cave Science Expedition.
The 52 fossils include six that were uncovered during a recent scientific expedition. “Many mammalian fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave, among which the giant panda fossils are the most prominent,” said Wang Deyuan, an associate research fellow at the Guizhou Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mountain Resources.
The fossils are evidence that giant pandas lived in Guizhou from 100,000 years ago to a few hundred years ago, forming a relatively continuous chronological sequence. Teeth analysis suggests most of these giant pandas were subadult or new adult individuals.
Numerous limb bones and skulls found at the site have also enabled researchers to study the evolutionary changes in the species’ body weight. Their study found that giant pandas reached their maximum body weight during the Middle Pleistocene, after which it began to decrease until it developed into its present level.
With a total length of 439.7 kilometers, Shuanghe Cave is the longest cave in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It has been the site of 24 international joint scientific expeditions since the late 1980s.
8. What makes Shuanghe Cave special in the world
A. It’s the longest cave ever found. B. It has the most giant panda fossils.
C. It’s where pandas live today. D. It’s in Guizhou province.
9. How do scientists know pandas lived in Guizhou for a long time
A. They found live pandas there.
B. The cave is very long.
C. Pandas are getting lighter.
D. The fossils are from 100,000 to a few hundred years ago.
10. What did scientists learn from studying panda bones
A. Pandas were heaviest during the Middle Pleistocene.
B. Pandas’ weight has stayed the same.
C. Pandas were lightest in the Middle Pleistocene.
D. All pandas found were very old.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A cave in China is very long and has had many scientific visits.
B. 52 Fossil discoveries in a Chinese cave are about giant pandas’ history and evolution.
C. Giant pandas used to be much heavier in the past than they are today.
D. Scientists found both old and new giant panda fossils in the same cave.
D
Cancer research has long relied on mice, but a new study suggests that pet cats could offer a better way to test treatments for humans. The research focuses on a severe cancer called head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC-头颈部鳞状细胞癌), which is deadly in both cats and people.
In the study, 20 pet cats with this cancer were given a new drug. The drug works by blocking a key protein in cells known as STAT3, which is involved in cancer growth. The results were encouraging. More than one-third of the cats saw their disease stop progressing, with very few side effects. On average, the cats that responded to the treatment lived about 161 days — much longer than the typical 2 to 3 months. A cat named Jak, who was expected to live only a few weeks, survived for over eight months after treatment, allowing him more precious time with his family.
The success goes beyond helping cats. Researchers believe that pets with natural cancers are superior to lab mice for testing human drugs. Lab mice are genetically similar and live in controlled environments, so their cancers may not fully represent the complex situation in humans. In contrast, pet cats, like humans, have varied genes, live in diverse environments and develop cancers naturally alongside a working immune system. This makes them a more accurate model.
“This approach allows us to use our research resources more wisely,” explained one scientist. Testing drugs in pets with real cancers can give us better data for human trials, potentially speeding up the development of new therapies. At the same time, it provides a valuable chance to help sick animals. This win-win strategy is changing how scientists think about the early steps of cancer research, bringing hope to both human and animal patients.
12. What was the main finding of the study on cats with HNSCC
A. The new drug can completely cure HNSCC in cats.
B. The treatment targeting STAT3 showed promising results in extending cats’ lives.
C. Cats are more cooperative patients than mice in clinical trials.
D. HNSCC is less severe in cats than it is in humans.
13. Why are pet cats considered a better research model than lab mice according to the text
A. Because they are less expensive to care for.
B. Because their cancers develop more slowly, allowing for longer observation.
C. Because their biological conditions more closely resemble those of humans.
D. Because they are more readily available for research purposes.
14. What is the implied meaning of the “win-win strategy” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. It advances human medicine while also offering treatment options for pets.
B. It ensures that all pet cats with cancer will receive free treatment.
C. It reduces the overall cost of drug development for pharmaceutical companies.
D. It replaces the need for any further testing on lab mice.
15. Which of the following best describes the author’s primary purpose in writing this article
A. To report on a new cancer drug that has been approved for use.
B. To criticize the traditional use of mice in medical research.
C. To tell a moving story about a cat surviving cancer.
D. To explain a novel and beneficial approach in cancer research.

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。
When Leo first joined the school’s debate club, he was the shyest member, always sitting in the corner with his head down during discussions. His voice trembled so badly whenever he tried to speak that even his teammates could barely hear him. The club’s annual city-wide debate competition was approaching, and the coach announced that each member had to give a trial speech to compete for a spot on the team.
Leo’s heart sank. He had always dreamed of standing on the stage, arguing for his opinions confidently, but the thought of speaking in front of a large audience terrified him. That night, he stared at his speech draft, his mind filled with negative thoughts. “I’ll mess it up,” he muttered to himself, crumpling (弄皱) the paper in his fist. Just then, he noticed a photo on his desk — a picture of him winning a storytelling contest in primary school. Back then, he had been fearless, his eyes shining as he shared his story with the whole school.
The memory lit a small flame in his heart. The next day, Leo asked the coach for extra practice time. He practiced his speech in front of the mirror repeatedly, recording himself to check his tone and speed. Whenever his voice wavered, he took a deep breath and started over. His teammates were surprised by his change; they used to see him hiding from any chance to speak, but now he was the first to arrive at the practice room every day.
On the day of the trial speech, Leo’s hands were sweating as he walked to the front of the room. He saw the coach and his teammates looking at him, their eyes filled with encouragement. Taking a deep breath, he began his speech. At first, his voice was still soft, but as he talked about his favorite topic — environmental protection — he forgot his nervousness, his words flowing more and more smoothly. When he finished, the room erupted in applause. The coach nodded with a smile, but Leo knew there was still a long way to go.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, the coach announced the final team members list.

A total of 52 giant panda fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave in Suiyang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, making Shuanghe the site with the largest number of such fossils in the world, according to a Friday press conference on the results of the 24th International Cave Science Expedition.
The 52 fossils include six that were uncovered during a recent scientific expedition. “Many mammalian fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave, among which the giant panda fossils are the most prominent,” said Wang Deyuan, an associate research fellow at the Guizhou Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mountain Resources.
The fossils are evidence that giant pandas lived in Guizhou from 100,000 years ago to a few hundred years ago, forming a relatively continuous chronological sequence. Teeth analysis suggests most of these giant pandas were subadult or new adult individuals.
Numerous limb bones and skulls found at the site have also enabled researchers to study the evolutionary changes in the species’ body weight. Their study found that giant pandas reached their maximum body weight during the Middle Pleistocene, after which it began to decrease until it developed into its present level.
With a total length of 439.7 kilometers, Shuanghe Cave is the longest cave in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It has been the site of 24 international joint scientific expeditions since the late 1980s.
8. What makes Shuanghe Cave special in the world
A. It’s the longest cave ever found. B. It has the most giant panda fossils.
C. It’s where pandas live today. D. It’s in Guizhou province.
9. How do scientists know pandas lived in Guizhou for a long time
A. They found live pandas there.
B. The cave is very long.
C. Pandas are getting lighter.
D. The fossils are from 100,000 to a few hundred years ago.
10. What did scientists learn from studying panda bones
A. Pandas were heaviest during the Middle Pleistocene.
B. Pandas’ weight has stayed the same.
C. Pandas were lightest in the Middle Pleistocene.
D. All pandas found were very old.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A cave in China is very long and has had many scientific visits.
B. 52 Fossil discoveries in a Chinese cave are about giant pandas’ history and evolution.
C. Giant pandas used to be much heavier in the past than they are today.
D. Scientists found both old and new giant panda fossils in the same cave.

Cancer research has long relied on mice, but a new study suggests that pet cats could offer a better way to test treatments for humans. The research focuses on a severe cancer called head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC-头颈部鳞状细胞癌), which is deadly in both cats and people.
In the study, 20 pet cats with this cancer were given a new drug. The drug works by blocking a key protein in cells known as STAT3, which is involved in cancer growth. The results were encouraging. More than one-third of the cats saw their disease stop progressing, with very few side effects. On average, the cats that responded to the treatment lived about 161 days — much longer than the typical 2 to 3 months. A cat named Jak, who was expected to live only a few weeks, survived for over eight months after treatment, allowing him more precious time with his family.
The success goes beyond helping cats. Researchers believe that pets with natural cancers are superior to lab mice for testing human drugs. Lab mice are genetically similar and live in controlled environments, so their cancers may not fully represent the complex situation in humans. In contrast, pet cats, like humans, have varied genes, live in diverse environments and develop cancers naturally alongside a working immune system. This makes them a more accurate model.
“This approach allows us to use our research resources more wisely,” explained one scientist. Testing drugs in pets with real cancers can give us better data for human trials, potentially speeding up the development of new therapies. At the same time, it provides a valuable chance to help sick animals. This win-win strategy is changing how scientists think about the early steps of cancer research, bringing hope to both human and animal patients.
12. What was the main finding of the study on cats with HNSCC
A. The new drug can completely cure HNSCC in cats.
B. The treatment targeting STAT3 showed promising results in extending cats’ lives.
C. Cats are more cooperative patients than mice in clinical trials.
D. HNSCC is less severe in cats than it is in humans.
13. Why are pet cats considered a better research model than lab mice according to the text
A. Because they are less expensive to care for.
B. Because their cancers develop more slowly, allowing for longer observation.
C. Because their biological conditions more closely resemble those of humans.
D. Because they are more readily available for research purposes.
14. What is the implied meaning of the “win-win strategy” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. It advances human medicine while also offering treatment options for pets.
B. It ensures that all pet cats with cancer will receive free treatment.
C. It reduces the overall cost of drug development for pharmaceutical companies.
D. It replaces the need for any further testing on lab mice.
15. Which of the following best describes the author’s primary purpose in writing this article
A. To report on a new cancer drug that has been approved for use.
B. To criticize the traditional use of mice in medical research.
C. To tell a moving story about a cat surviving cancer.
D. To explain a novel and beneficial approach in cancer research.

When Leo first joined the school’s debate club, he was the shyest member, always sitting in the corner with his head down during discussions. His voice trembled so badly whenever he tried to speak that even his teammates could barely hear him. The club’s annual city-wide debate competition was approaching, and the coach announced that each member had to give a trial speech to compete for a spot on the team.
Leo’s heart sank. He had always dreamed of standing on the stage, arguing for his opinions confidently, but the thought of speaking in front of a large audience terrified him. That night, he stared at his speech draft, his mind filled with negative thoughts. “I’ll mess it up,” he muttered to himself, crumpling (弄皱) the paper in his fist. Just then, he noticed a photo on his desk — a picture of him winning a storytelling contest in primary school. Back then, he had been fearless, his eyes shining as he shared his story with the whole school.
The memory lit a small flame in his heart. The next day, Leo asked the coach for extra practice time. He practiced his speech in front of the mirror repeatedly, recording himself to check his tone and speed. Whenever his voice wavered, he took a deep breath and started over. His teammates were surprised by his change; they used to see him hiding from any chance to speak, but now he was the first to arrive at the practice room every day.
On the day of the trial speech, Leo’s hands were sweating as he walked to the front of the room. He saw the coach and his teammates looking at him, their eyes filled with encouragement. Taking a deep breath, he began his speech. At first, his voice was still soft, but as he talked about his favorite topic — environmental protection — he forgot his nervousness, his words flowing more and more smoothly. When he finished, the room erupted in applause. The coach nodded with a smile, but Leo knew there was still a long way to go.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150个左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
A week later, the coach announced the final team members list.

On the day of the city-wide competition, Leo stepped onto the stage calmly.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
A week later, the coach announced the final team members list. Leo held his breath, his fingers twisting the edge of his sleeve nervously. When his name echoed through the room, his eyes widened in disbelief, and a wave of joy washed over him. “I made it!” he whispered, a bright smile spreading across his face. The coach walked over and patted his shoulder gently. “Your perseverance deserves this,” she said warmly. Leo nodded firmly, his heart burning with a newfound determination to prove himself.
Paragraph 2:
On the day of the city-wide competition, Leo stepped onto the stage calmly. He glanced at the sea of faces in the audience, then locked eyes with his teammates, who gave him a thumbs-up. Taking a steady breath, he began his speech with a clear, resonant voice, pouring all his passion into every word. When he finished, the audience burst into cheers. Though his team didn’t take the top prize, Leo smiled contentedly — he had conquered his fear and found his voice at last.

A total of 52 giant panda fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave in Suiyang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province, making Shuanghe the site with the largest number of such fossils in the world, according to a Friday press conference on the results of the 24th International Cave Science Expedition.
The 52 fossils include six that were uncovered during a recent scientific expedition. “Many mammalian fossils have been discovered in Shuanghe Cave, among which the giant panda fossils are the most prominent,” said Wang Deyuan, an associate research fellow at the Guizhou Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Mountain Resources.
The fossils are evidence that giant pandas lived in Guizhou from 100,000 years ago to a few hundred years ago, forming a relatively continuous chronological sequence. Teeth analysis suggests most of these giant pandas were subadult or new adult individuals.
Numerous limb bones and skulls found at the site have also enabled researchers to study the evolutionary changes in the species’ body weight. Their study found that giant pandas reached their maximum body weight during the Middle Pleistocene, after which it began to decrease until it developed into its present level.
With a total length of 439.7 kilometers, Shuanghe Cave is the longest cave in Asia and the third-longest in the world. It has been the site of 24 international joint scientific expeditions since the late 1980s.
8. What makes Shuanghe Cave special in the world
A. It’s the longest cave ever found. B. It has the most giant panda fossils.
C. It’s where pandas live today. D. It’s in Guizhou province.
9. How do scientists know pandas lived in Guizhou for a long time
A. They found live pandas there.
B. The cave is very long.
C. Pandas are getting lighter.
D. The fossils are from 100,000 to a few hundred years ago.
10. What did scientists learn from studying panda bones
A. Pandas were heaviest during the Middle Pleistocene.
B. Pandas’ weight has stayed the same.
C. Pandas were lightest in the Middle Pleistocene.
D. All pandas found were very old.
11. What is the main idea of the passage
A. A cave in China is very long and has had many scientific visits.
B. 52 Fossil discoveries in a Chinese cave are about giant pandas’ history and evolution.
C. Giant pandas used to be much heavier in the past than they are today.
D. Scientists found both old and new giant panda fossils in the same cave.
D
Cancer research has long relied on mice, but a new study suggests that pet cats could offer a better way to test treatments for humans. The research focuses on a severe cancer called head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC-头颈部鳞状细胞癌), which is deadly in both cats and people.
In the study, 20 pet cats with this cancer were given a new drug. The drug works by blocking a key protein in cells known as STAT3, which is involved in cancer growth. The results were encouraging. More than one-third of the cats saw their disease stop progressing, with very few side effects. On average, the cats that responded to the treatment lived about 161 days — much longer than the typical 2 to 3 months. A cat named Jak, who was expected to live only a few weeks, survived for over eight months after treatment, allowing him more precious time with his family.
The success goes beyond helping cats. Researchers believe that pets with natural cancers are superior to lab mice for testing human drugs. Lab mice are genetically similar and live in controlled environments, so their cancers may not fully represent the complex situation in humans. In contrast, pet cats, like humans, have varied genes, live in diverse environments and develop cancers naturally alongside a working immune system. This makes them a more accurate model.
“This approach allows us to use our research resources more wisely,” explained one scientist. Testing drugs in pets with real cancers can give us better data for human trials, potentially speeding up the development of new therapies. At the same time, it provides a valuable chance to help sick animals. This win-win strategy is changing how scientists think about the early steps of cancer research, bringing hope to both human and animal patients.
12. What was the main finding of the study on cats with HNSCC
A. The new drug can completely cure HNSCC in cats.
B. The treatment targeting STAT3 showed promising results in extending cats’ lives.
C. Cats are more cooperative patients than mice in clinical trials.
D. HNSCC is less severe in cats than it is in humans.
13. Why are pet cats considered a better research model than lab mice according to the text
A. Because they are less expensive to care for.
B. Because their cancers develop more slowly, allowing for longer observation.
C. Because their biological conditions more closely resemble those of humans.
D. Because they are more readily available for research purposes.
14. What is the implied meaning of the “win-win strategy” mentioned in the last paragraph
A. It advances human medicine while also offering treatment options for pets.
B. It ensures that all pet cats with cancer will receive free treatment.
C. It reduces the overall cost of drug development for pharmaceutical companies.
D. It replaces the need for any further testing on lab mice.
15. Which of the following best describes the author’s primary purpose in writing this article
A. To report on a new cancer drug that has been approved for use.
B. To criticize the traditional use of mice in medical research.
C. To tell a moving story about a cat surviving cancer.
D. To explain a novel and beneficial approach in cancer research.

When Leo first joined the school’s debate club, he was the shyest member, always sitting in the corner with his head down during discussions. His voice trembled so badly whenever he tried to speak that even his teammates could barely hear him. The club’s annual city-wide debate competition was approaching, and the coach announced that each member had to give a trial speech to compete for a spot on the team.
Leo’s heart sank. He had always dreamed of standing on the stage, arguing for his opinions confidently, but the thought of speaking in front of a large audience terrified him. That night, he stared at his speech draft, his mind filled with negative thoughts. “I’ll mess it up,” he muttered to himself, crumpling (弄皱) the paper in his fist. Just then, he noticed a photo on his desk — a picture of him winning a storytelling contest in primary school. Back then, he had been fearless, his eyes shining as he shared his story with the whole school.
The memory lit a small flame in his heart. The next day, Leo asked the coach for extra practice time. He practiced his speech in front of the mirror repeatedly, recording himself to check his tone and speed. Whenever his voice wavered, he took a deep breath and started over. His teammates were surprised by his change; they used to see him hiding from any chance to speak, but now he was the first to arrive at the practice room every day.
On the day of the trial speech, Leo’s hands were sweating as he walked to the front of the room. He saw the coach and his teammates looking at him, their eyes filled with encouragement. Taking a deep breath, he began his speech. At first, his voice was still soft, but as he talked about his favorite topic — environmental protection — he forgot his nervousness, his words flowing more and more smoothly. When he finished, the room erupted in applause. The coach nodded with a smile, but Leo knew there was still a long way to go.

World-renowned physicist Yang Chen-Ning passed away in Beijing at 103. As a Nobel laureate and academician, he was honored as “immortal” by Tsinghua University.
Yang, alongside Tsung-Dao Lee, won the 1957 Nobel Prize in Physics for proposing parity non-conservation in weak interactions, becoming the first Chinese Nobel laureate. He is often ranked among the greatest physicists of the 20th century, like Einstein.
Born in 1922, Yang studied in China before pursuing a PhD at the University of Chicago in 1948. He later joined Princeton’s Institute for Advanced Study and served as the Albert Einstein Professor at Stony Brook University until 1999. He returned to Tsinghua as a professor in 1999.
Yang’s scientific legacy is profound. Yang, having made seminal contributions to modern physics, is recognized as one of the most eminent physicists of the 20th century. His collaborative Yang-Mills theory laid a cornerstone for the Standard Model of particle physics, comparable to the work of Maxwell and Einstein. He was a member of numerous global academies and received over twenty honorary doctorates.
Beyond research, Yang maintained deep ties to his homeland. His 1971 visit to China helped bridge academic exchanges with the US. He advised China’s leadership on strengthening basic research, raised funds to support nearly a hundred Chinese scholars studying abroad, and contributed to major national scientific projects. After returning to Tsinghua, he dedicated himself to developing its Institute for Advanced Study, fostering talent, and influencing higher education reform.
His obituary (讣告) celebrated a life of legendary dedication to both science and nation—an eternal chapter among humanity’s stars.
4. What can we infer from Tsinghua University’s honoring Yang Chen-Ning as “immortal”
A. Yang had been working at Tsinghua University for most of his career.
B. Yang was the first professor to receive this honor from Tsinghua.
C. Tsinghua University highly valued Yang’s contributions to physics.
D. Yang had always maintained close ties with Tsinghua throughout his life.

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。
When Leo first joined the school’s debate club, he was the shyest member, always sitting in the corner with his head down during discussions. His voice trembled so badly whenever he tried to speak that even his teammates could barely hear him. The club’s annual city-wide debate competition was approaching, and the coach announced that each member had to give a trial speech to compete for a spot on the team.
Leo’s heart sank. He had always dreamed of standing on the stage, arguing for his opinions confidently, but the thought of speaking in front of a large audience terrified him. That night, he stared at his speech draft, his mind filled with negative thoughts. “I’ll mess it up,” he muttered to himself, crumpling (弄皱) the paper in his fist. Just then, he noticed a photo on his desk — a picture of him winning a storytelling contest in primary school. Back then, he had been fearless, his eyes shining as he shared his story with the whole school.
The memory lit a small flame in his heart. The next day, Leo asked the coach for extra practice time. He practiced his speech in front of the mirror repeatedly, recording himself to check his tone and speed. Whenever his voice wavered, he took a deep breath and started over. His teammates were surprised by his change; they used to see him hiding from any chance to speak, but now he was the first to arrive at the practice room every day.
On the day of the trial speech, Leo’s hands were sweating as he walked to the front of the room. He saw the coach and his teammates looking at him, their eyes filled with encouragement. Taking a deep breath, he began his speech. At first, his voice was still soft, but as he talked about his favorite topic — environmental protection — he forgot his nervousness, his words flowing more and more smoothly. When he finished, the room erupted in applause. The coach nodded with a smile, but Leo knew there was still a long way to go.

【答案】Paragraph 1:
A week later, the coach announced the final team members list. Leo held his breath, his fingers twisting the edge of his sleeve nervously. When his name echoed through the room, his eyes widened in disbelief, and a wave of joy washed over him. “I made it!” he whispered, a bright smile spreading across his face. The coach walked over and patted his shoulder gently. “Your perseverance deserves this,” she said warmly. Leo nodded firmly, his heart burning with a newfound determination to prove himself.
Paragraph 2:
On the day of the city-wide competition, Leo stepped onto the stage calmly. He glanced at the sea of faces in the audience, then locked eyes with his teammates, who gave him a thumbs-up. Taking a steady breath, he began his speech with a clear, resonant voice, pouring all his passion into every word. When he finished, the audience burst into cheers. Though his team didn’t take the top prize, Leo smiled contentedly — he had conquered his fear and found his voice at last.
