The most trans formative moment of my life began with a failed run down my street. As a creative director at a health publication, I couldn't run for more than four minutes. My daughter's laughter on the walk home marked my lowest point—overweight, easily annoyed, and completely out of shape. That was when I decided to make a change.
I started with small, consistent steps. Weekend jogs became my routine, each time pushing me to go just a little farther. I examined my habits, replaced mindless snacking with mindful eating and got rid of sugary drinks. The rewards were gradual but profound: better sleep, looser clothes, and a newfound mental clarity. Running became my moving meditation, a time when I could process stress and return with patience and focus.
After several months, I completed my first 5 - kilometer run with my daughter. Though our pace
was slow, the accomplishment felt enormous. That success encouraged me to keep pushing myself—5 miles, then 10 miles, and then 15 miles. So when the opportunity to run the New York Marathon arose, I registered immediately, ready to embrace a challenge that truly terrified me.
For five months, I dedicated myself to a strict training plan and long runs that peaked at 20 miles. On the day I ran the New York Marathon, though tired, I kept running steadily. When I spotted my wife and daughter in the crowd, a final, electric surge(猛增) of energy carried me forward. Crossing the finish line in 4:51:28, I was flooded with overwhelming pride—I had done it. I had accomplished the impossible.
This journey taught me that true transformation is achieved in the daily choice to show up and hang on in there. We are all capable of far more than we believe. Every step forward, no matter how small, moves us toward the best version of ourselves. Progress isn't about perfection; it's about consistently choosing growth over comfort.
24. What led to the author's change of lifestyle
A. His daughter's criticism.
B. His poor physical condition.
C. His promotion to general director.
D. His need to have an attractive image.
25. What is paragraph 2 mainly about
A. The effective approaches for dealing with stress.
B. The immediate benefits of quitting drinking.
C. The strict exercise plan the author followed.
*D. The positive effects of the author's new lifestyle.
26. Why did the author decide to sign up for the New York Marathon
A. He was eager to meet challenges lying ahead.
B. He had rich experience in running marathons.
C. He aimed to demonstrate his athletic ability.
D. He wanted to run it with his daughter.
27. What message does the text mainly convey
A. Failure is the mother of success.
B. A smooth sea never made a skilled sailor.
C. One cannot obtain anything without paying the price.
D. A thousand - mile journey begins with the first step.
C
For many people, spending time in nature can be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Immersing (沉浸) oneself in the green field of grass, or the shade of a forested trail can be truly calming and healing.
Recently, researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Vienna have published a study in Nature Communications that showed that not only does being in nature help reduce pain, but looking at nature could have a similar effect.
The study showed that people who viewed images of nature experienced less pain than those who saw images of a city or an indoor office. In addition, scans of the participants' brains also showed changes in brain responses associated with processing pain. This means that seeing nature has an effect on pain, just like being in nature does. This is welcome news for people who do not live near green spaces.
However, a few months later, the researchers published another study, this time in Pain, showing that scenes of nature in virtual reality had more pain - killing power than 2D scenes.
In order to test how virtual reality affects the sensation of pain, the researchers set up an experiment with 29 healthy participants, who were shown two different types of nature scenes, one in virtual reality and the other in 2D, after pain was delivered to their forearms via electric shocks.
The researchers found that the immersive virtual reality scenes mitigated the development and feeling of pain in the participants. In fact, the virtual reality was almost two times as effective as the 2D scenes were.
There are many implications of these studies, especially concerning how people perceive and experience pain. However, more importantly, there are also potential practical implications of the studies. Though getting out into nature can be helpful in terms of treating pain, there are many people in the world who suffer from long - term pain and are unable to go into nature.
28. What did the two universities' study find about looking at natural scenes
A. It intensifies the sense of pain.
B. It changes the structure of the brain.
C. It makes people feel bored in cities.
D. It works like real nature in easing pain.
29. Why are the participants' brains scanned
A. To improve the brain's ability of pain processing.
B. To measure the brain's responses to different images.
C. To compare the brain structures of different people.
D. To locate the brain areas responsible for viewing nature.
30. What does the underlined word "mitigated" in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Caused. B. Sharpened. C. Reduced. D. Reflected.
31. What will doctors probably do to help patients with limited mobility
A. Bring nature to them. B. Provide them with recovery training.
C. Give pain killers to them. D. Show them various forms of entertainment.
D
A video of a lifelike robot released by a Chinese robotics company shows the robot's head blinks, nods, and looks around in a convincing imitation of a real human face. The head, created by AheadForm, might find use in research on human - robot interactions or in various industries, including customer service and entertainment.
Founded in 2024, Ahead Form aims to make interactions between humans and robots feel more natural and engaging, according to the company's website. The company hopes to integrate AI systems such as large language models (LLMs) with realistic robotic heads so that robots can understand and respond to people in real time.
"Our current focus is on creating sophisticated (先进的) humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact smoothly with humans," a company representative said on the website.
Ahead Form has produced multiple series of robot forms, including its "EIf" line of pointy - eared figures with precise control systems and a more human - looking "Lan Series" of bots designed to prioritize cost - efficiency and intuitive movements.
In building a robotic head that can integrate with AI, the company aims to make robots more approachable and relatable. That could be useful for industries such as customer service, education, and healthcare, "where building trust with human users is essential," according to the website.
Researchers from Ahead Form are already working on how this might play out. In a 2024 study published in the journal Science Robotics, Ahead Form founder Yuhang Hu and his colleagues designed a robot that could analyze, predict, and mimic (模仿) human facial expressions in real time.
To achieve the subtle, precise facial movements in the video, Ahead Form uses brush less motors. These tiny devices run quietly and work together to create the lifelike twitches and glances that make the head seem realistic. Inside this particular model, the Origin M1, there are up to 25 tiny motors that control the head's expressions. The bot also has cameras in its pupils to help it "see" its environment, along with built - in speakers and microphones it can use to interact with users on the fly.
32. What do we know about the robot in the video
A. It has been widely used in various industries.
B. It is designed by an international robotics company.
C. It can function better than human in certain aspects.
D. It has the potential to promote human - robot interactions.
33. What does Ahead Form center on at present
A. Developing advanced robots that entertain people.
B. Designing robots that fit in with their surroundings.
C. Producing robots with flexible and lifelike heads.
D. Combining AI with their existing robot models.
34. Why does the author mention a robot designed by Yuhang Hu and his colleagues
A. To illustrate the usage of the robot.
B. To demonstrate the robot's ability to communicate.
C. To show Ahead Form's progress in robotic research.
D. To highlight the founder's remarkable achievements.
35. Which of the following would be the best title
A. The Latest Development in Robot Research
B. New Robots Use AI to Interact with Human Beings
C. Chinese Tech Company Develops a Lifelike Robot Head
D. Advanced Humanoid Robots Are Widely Used in Various Fields

A new study highlights the importance of grit, which is defined as a strong passion and persistent determination toward long - term goals. 36 . The study also suggests that other non-cognitive(非认知性的) features are important. These are personal qualities not directly tied to intelligence. They also help people reach their objectives.
Angela Duck worth, a psychology professor, first gained widespread attention in 2013 with her TED Talk on grit. 37 This idea gained further popularity with the 2016 release of her book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, which struck a chord(引起共鸣) with diverse audiences.
However, some experts have questioned the stress on grit. 38 A recent study by Duck-worth and her team emphasizes the value of grit while also acknowledging that it is one factor among many. The study followed more than 11, 000 cadets(学员) across nine classes at West Point, examining how cognitive ability, physical fitness, and grit influenced outcomes such as academic performance, graduation rates, and completion of the demanding six - week training.
39 However, grit proved more influential than either cognitive or physical abilities in determining whether the cadets would complete the training. Furthermore, both grit and physical fitness were better predictors of four - year graduation rates than cognitive ability alone. Duck-worth admits that cognitive skills alone are not enough for success and calls for more research into non-cognitive factors.
Frank Worrell, another psychologist, agrees that these factors are important. But he questions whether grit is the most essential one. He thinks that other qualities like self - efficacy and optimism may be equally important. Duck-worth and her co - author, Michael D. Matthews, acknowledge the significance of grit. They also recognize the value of exploring other variables. 40
A. It plays a key role in achieving success in life.
B. They argue that its impact may be overstated.
C. Most importantly, grit is the only one we should be paying attention to.
D. Duck-worth hopes this research will lead to a more balanced view of success.
E. Now physical ability is considered to be more influential than cognitive ability.
F. The result showed that cognitive ability was a strong predictor of academic achievement.
G. Her previous research suggested that grit was a better predictor of success than other factors.

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。
The summer I turned sixteen, I discovered my dad's old camera in the garage(车库). It felt heavy and awkward in my hands, yet it still worked perfectly. I taught myself to take black and white photos and develop them in our garage. Watching images appear on blank paper felt like pure magic. Soon, photography became my passion. I spent hours capturing everything around our neighborhood. But my excitement was short - lived. My dad couldn't understand why I was crazy about this hobby.
Our arguments started small, but grew bigger every week. "Your math grades are dropping. Photography is distracting(使分心) you from what truly matters," Dad would say, his voice heavy with disappointment. I tried to explain what it meant to me, but he wouldn't listen. The tension reached its peak one Tuesday evening when he saw my recent report card. "That's it," he declared, taking away my camera. "No more photography until your grade improves." I felt my world was collapsing. "You don't understand anything!" I shouted through tears. For the following week, we barely spoke. The house grew cold and silent without our usual conversations.
Then everything changed when Mom quietly handed me a flyer for a photography contest titled "The Heart of Home" and encouraged me to sign up for it. Her encouragement brought me new hope. While Dad was at work, I got the camera again and began my secret project. Instead of random shots, I focused on capturing my dad's world. I took pictures of his organized workshop, his favorite coffee mug, even his worn work boots. The most important photo came on Saturday morning. I found him fixing our neighbor's garden fence, his hands moving with skill and care. The morning light transformed the ordinary scene into something beautiful. I quietly took the picture, capturing him not as a strict parent, but as the helpful, capable man I'd always admired, but recently forgotten.
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 before the contest, my heart pounded as I showed my parents the photos I had taken.
On the contest day, my parents and I found all my photos exhibited.

One possible version:
Dear Chris,
Hearing that you're organizing the Chinese Traditional Culture Week, I'm writing to share some practical suggestions for your display content.
To begin with, showcasing traditional handicrafts like paper - cutting and clay figurines is a fantastic option. These delicate artworks vividly embody the boundless ingenuity of ancient Chinese artisans, allowing visitors to feel the charm of folk art up close. What's more, a live tea ceremony demonstration would add a touch of elegance, as it perfectly reflects the profound etiquette and tranquil philosophy rooted in Chinese culture. Additionally, exhibiting traditional costumes such as hanfu is sure to draw crowds, since their elegant styles have strong visual appeal.
Hope these ideas will contribute to a remarkable event!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
A week before the contest, my heart pounded as I showed my parents the photos I had taken. When Dad saw the picture of himself fixing our neighbor's garden fence, he froze, his eyes wide open. He stared at it for a long time, with mixed feelings in his eyes. Then, he turned to me, his eyes sparkling with pride. “I never realized you have a talent for photography,” he said softly, his voice thick with emotion. He pulled me into a firm, affectionate hug. “You see the beauty in ordinary things,” he whispered, his words healing my heart.
On the contest day, my parents and I found all my photos exhibited. We watched visitors pause before my photos, whispering in appreciation. When the judges announced that I won first prize, a wave of pure joy and immense pride washed over me. My parents hugged me tightly, tears in their eyes. “I am so proud of you,” Dad whispered emotionally. At that moment, the pain of our past arguments simply melted away. Now, Dad has built me a darkroom in the garage. The camera, once a source of conflict, has become a beautiful bridge connecting us all.

W: Good morning, Mr. Evans. Thank you for coming to our "Parent Talk" program. Your daughter Sarah has been participating in the school's community volunteer program this semester, right
M: Yes, that's right. She spends every Saturday morning reading to elderly residents at the Sunshine Nursing Home.
W: That's wonderful. Have you noticed any changes in Sarah since she started volunteering
M: Certainly, quite a few positive changes. She's become more patient and considerate.
W: That's remarkable. What do you think has been the most valuable aspect of this experience for her
M: Beyond developing empathy, I believe it's the sense of responsibility she's gained.
W: How has this affected her performance at school, if at all
M: Interestingly, her grades have improved, especially in language arts. She says reading aloud to others has helped improve her own comprehension and expression.
W: That's fantastic to hear. It seems this program is making a real difference in shaping our children's character.
M: Absolutely. I do hope more students have such meaningful experiences.

M: Good morning, everyone. Today, I'd like to talk about adopting a low - carbon lifestyle right here in our school. If we look around, we can still see many practices that are against our environmentally friendly concept. For instance, lights and air - conditioners are often left on in empty classrooms, and single - use plastic bottles are commonly seen in the trash bins. What we are doing now significantly increase our carbon footprint. So what shall we do to change our lifestyle It's simpler than you think. First, we should turn off the electrical appliances when leaving a room. Second, we can use reusable water bottles instead of buying bottled water. Moreover, it is a good idea to walk, cycle, or take public transport to school instead of relying on private cars so that we can reduce our carbon emissions. By adopting these simple habits, we are not just following a trend. We are actively establishing a green lifestyle. Every small effort counts. Let's take action now. Let's make our school and our world a more sustainable place.

思路点拨 根据画线词“mitigated”所在的上下文语境，上文提到研究旨在测试虚拟现实对痛感的影响，实验
中给参与者前臂施加电击引发疼痛后,分别展示虚拟现实和二维的自然场景;下文又指出“虚拟现实的效果几乎是二维场景的两倍”。结合全文核心观点——自然相关的画面能减轻疼痛,可推断此处是指沉浸式虚拟现实场景“减轻”了参与者疼痛的产生和感受。mitigated 与 reduced 词义相近。

同说明 grit 理念的推广过程。
38.答案 B
命题透析 考查上下文衔接。
思路点拨 空前句指出一些专家对“强调坚毅”提出质疑，空后句则说明 Duckworth 团队的新研究既强调坚毅的价值，也承认它只是众多因素之一。B 项“They argue that its impact may be overstated.”（他们认为坚毅的影响可能被夸大了）中的“They”指代上文的“some experts”，“its”指代“grit”，该句直接点明专家的质疑内容，与上文的“questioned”相呼应，同时为下文新研究的观点做过渡。
39.答案 F
命题透析 考查段首句。
思路点拨 上文介绍研究设计，空格后以“However”引出 grit 比认知或体能更具影响力。F 项“结果显示，认知能力是学业成绩的有力预测因素”与下文形成对比，突出 grit 在特定情境下的作用，逻辑紧密。
40.答案 D

思路点拨 分析句子结构可知,本空引导定语从句,修饰先行词“university”。从句中缺少地点状语,故填where。
57.答案 emphasis
命题透析 考查词性转换。
思路点拨 put emphasis on 意为“强调；重视”,此处指这所大学重视诚信。
58.答案 memorable
命题透析 考查词性转换。
思路点拨 “one of + the +形容词最高级 +可数名词复数”表示“最……之一”,所以这里要用 memory 的形容
词形式 memorable。
59.答案 to step

63.答案 enabling
命题透析 考查非谓语动词。
思路点拨 分析句子结构可知,句子谓语 has improved 与动词 enable 之间没有连词,所以此处应用非谓语动词形式。“The opportunity to practice Mandarin ______ with my classmates has improved my language skills”这件事与“enable”之间是逻辑上的主动关系,即这件事使得“我”能够……,所以用现在分词作结果状语。
64.答案 be spotted
命题透析 考查动词语态。
思路点拨 分析句子结构可知,此处为“情态动词 +动词”作句子谓语。句子主语 opportunities 与动词 spot 之间为被动关系,故此处应用被动语态,填 be spotted。
65.答案 with
命题透析 考查介词。
思路点拨 engage with sb. 表示“与某人建立密切关系”,此处指与本地人建立密切关系。

The most trans formative moment of my life began with a failed run down my street. As a creative director at a health publication, I couldn't run for more than four minutes. My daughter's laughter on the walk home marked my lowest point—overweight, easily annoyed, and completely out of shape. That was when I decided to make a change.
I started with small, consistent steps. Weekend jogs became my routine, each time pushing me to go just a little farther. I examined my habits, replaced mindless snacking with mindful eating and got rid of sugary drinks. The rewards were gradual but profound: better sleep, looser clothes, and a newfound mental clarity. Running became my moving meditation, a time when I could process stress and return with patience and focus.
After several months, I completed my first 5 - kilometer run with my daughter. Though our pace
was slow, the accomplishment felt enormous. That success encouraged me to keep pushing myself—5 miles, then 10 miles, and then 15 miles. So when the opportunity to run the New York Marathon arose, I registered immediately, ready to embrace a challenge that truly terrified me.
For five months, I dedicated myself to a strict training plan and long runs that peaked at 20 miles. On the day I ran the New York Marathon, though tired, I kept running steadily. When I spotted my wife and daughter in the crowd, a final, electric surge(猛增) of energy carried me forward. Crossing the finish line in 4:51:28, I was flooded with overwhelming pride—I had done it. I had accomplished the impossible.
This journey taught me that true transformation is achieved in the daily choice to show up and hang on in there. We are all capable of far more than we believe. Every step forward, no matter how small, moves us toward the best version of ourselves. Progress isn't about perfection; it's about consistently choosing growth over comfort.

For many people, spending time in nature can be a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Immersing (沉浸) oneself in the green field of grass, or the shade of a forested trail can be truly calming and healing.
Recently, researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Vienna have published a study in Nature Communications that showed that not only does being in nature help reduce pain, but looking at nature could have a similar effect.
The study showed that people who viewed images of nature experienced less pain than those who saw images of a city or an indoor office. In addition, scans of the participants' brains also showed changes in brain responses associated with processing pain. This means that seeing nature has an effect on pain, just like being in nature does. This is welcome news for people who do not live near green spaces.
However, a few months later, the researchers published another study, this time in Pain, showing that scenes of nature in virtual reality had more pain - killing power than 2D scenes.
In order to test how virtual reality affects the sensation of pain, the researchers set up an experiment with 29 healthy participants, who were shown two different types of nature scenes, one in virtual reality and the other in 2D, after pain was delivered to their forearms via electric shocks.
The researchers found that the immersive virtual reality scenes mitigated the development and feeling of pain in the participants. In fact, the virtual reality was almost two times as effective as the 2D scenes were.
There are many implications of these studies, especially concerning how people perceive and experience pain. However, more importantly, there are also potential practical implications of the studies. Though getting out into nature can be helpful in terms of treating pain, there are many people in the world who suffer from long - term pain and are unable to go into nature.
28. What did the two universities' study find about looking at natural scenes
A. It intensifies the sense of pain.
B. It changes the structure of the brain.
C. It makes people feel bored in cities.
D. It works like real nature in easing pain.
29. Why are the participants' brains scanned
A. To improve the brain's ability of pain processing.
B. To measure the brain's responses to different images.
C. To compare the brain structures of different people.
D. To locate the brain areas responsible for viewing nature.
30. What does the underlined word "mitigated" in paragraph 6 probably mean
A. Caused. B. Sharpened. C. Reduced. D. Reflected.
31. What will doctors probably do to help patients with limited mobility
A. Bring nature to them. B. Provide them with recovery training.
C. Give pain killers to them. D. Show them various forms of entertainment.
D
A video of a lifelike robot released by a Chinese robotics company shows the robot's head blinks, nods, and looks around in a convincing imitation of a real human face. The head, created by AheadForm, might find use in research on human - robot interactions or in various industries, including customer service and entertainment.
Founded in 2024, Ahead Form aims to make interactions between humans and robots feel more natural and engaging, according to the company's website. The company hopes to integrate AI systems such as large language models (LLMs) with realistic robotic heads so that robots can understand and respond to people in real time.
"Our current focus is on creating sophisticated (先进的) humanoid robot heads that can express emotions, perceive their environment, and interact smoothly with humans," a company representative said on the website.
Ahead Form has produced multiple series of robot forms, including its "EIf" line of pointy - eared figures with precise control systems and a more human - looking "Lan Series" of bots designed to prioritize cost - efficiency and intuitive movements.
In building a robotic head that can integrate with AI, the company aims to make robots more approachable and relatable. That could be useful for industries such as customer service, education, and healthcare, "where building trust with human users is essential," according to the website.
Researchers from Ahead Form are already working on how this might play out. In a 2024 study published in the journal Science Robotics, Ahead Form founder Yuhang Hu and his colleagues designed a robot that could analyze, predict, and mimic (模仿) human facial expressions in real time.
To achieve the subtle, precise facial movements in the video, Ahead Form uses brush less motors. These tiny devices run quietly and work together to create the lifelike twitches and glances that make the head seem realistic. Inside this particular model, the Origin M1, there are up to 25 tiny motors that control the head's expressions. The bot also has cameras in its pupils to help it "see" its environment, along with built - in speakers and microphones it can use to interact with users on the fly.
32. What do we know about the robot in the video
A. It has been widely used in various industries.
B. It is designed by an international robotics company.
C. It can function better than human in certain aspects.
D. It has the potential to promote human - robot interactions.
33. What does Ahead Form center on at present
A. Developing advanced robots that entertain people.
B. Designing robots that fit in with their surroundings.
C. Producing robots with flexible and lifelike heads.
D. Combining AI with their existing robot models.
34. Why does the author mention a robot designed by Yuhang Hu and his colleagues
A. To illustrate the usage of the robot.
B. To demonstrate the robot's ability to communicate.
C. To show Ahead Form's progress in robotic research.
D. To highlight the founder's remarkable achievements.
35. Which of the following would be the best title
A. The Latest Development in Robot Research
B. New Robots Use AI to Interact with Human Beings
C. Chinese Tech Company Develops a Lifelike Robot Head
D. Advanced Humanoid Robots Are Widely Used in Various Fields

A new study highlights the importance of grit, which is defined as a strong passion and persistent determination toward long - term goals. 36 . The study also suggests that other non-cognitive(非认知性的) features are important. These are personal qualities not directly tied to intelligence. They also help people reach their objectives.
Angela Duck worth, a psychology professor, first gained widespread attention in 2013 with her TED Talk on grit. 37 This idea gained further popularity with the 2016 release of her book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance, which struck a chord(引起共鸣) with diverse audiences.
However, some experts have questioned the stress on grit. 38 A recent study by Duck-worth and her team emphasizes the value of grit while also acknowledging that it is one factor among many. The study followed more than 11, 000 cadets(学员) across nine classes at West Point, examining how cognitive ability, physical fitness, and grit influenced outcomes such as academic performance, graduation rates, and completion of the demanding six - week training.
39 However, grit proved more influential than either cognitive or physical abilities in determining whether the cadets would complete the training. Furthermore, both grit and physical fitness were better predictors of four - year graduation rates than cognitive ability alone. Duck-worth admits that cognitive skills alone are not enough for success and calls for more research into non-cognitive factors.
Frank Worrell, another psychologist, agrees that these factors are important. But he questions whether grit is the most essential one. He thinks that other qualities like self - efficacy and optimism may be equally important. Duck-worth and her co - author, Michael D. Matthews, acknowledge the significance of grit. They also recognize the value of exploring other variables. 40
A. It plays a key role in achieving success in life.
B. They argue that its impact may be overstated.
C. Most importantly, grit is the only one we should be paying attention to.
D. Duck-worth hopes this research will lead to a more balanced view of success.
E. Now physical ability is considered to be more influential than cognitive ability.
F. The result showed that cognitive ability was a strong predictor of academic achievement.
G. Her previous research suggested that grit was a better predictor of success than other factors.

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。
The summer I turned sixteen, I discovered my dad's old camera in the garage(车库). It felt heavy and awkward in my hands, yet it still worked perfectly. I taught myself to take black and white photos and develop them in our garage. Watching images appear on blank paper felt like pure magic. Soon, photography became my passion. I spent hours capturing everything around our neighborhood. But my excitement was short - lived. My dad couldn't understand why I was crazy about this hobby.
Our arguments started small, but grew bigger every week. "Your math grades are dropping. Photography is distracting(使分心) you from what truly matters," Dad would say, his voice heavy with disappointment. I tried to explain what it meant to me, but he wouldn't listen. The tension reached its peak one Tuesday evening when he saw my recent report card. "That's it," he declared, taking away my camera. "No more photography until your grade improves." I felt my world was collapsing. "You don't understand anything!" I shouted through tears. For the following week, we barely spoke. The house grew cold and silent without our usual conversations.
Then everything changed when Mom quietly handed me a flyer for a photography contest titled "The Heart of Home" and encouraged me to sign up for it. Her encouragement brought me new hope. While Dad was at work, I got the camera again and began my secret project. Instead of random shots, I focused on capturing my dad's world. I took pictures of his organized workshop, his favorite coffee mug, even his worn work boots. The most important photo came on Saturday morning. I found him fixing our neighbor's garden fence, his hands moving with skill and care. The morning light transformed the ordinary scene into something beautiful. I quietly took the picture, capturing him not as a strict parent, but as the helpful, capable man I'd always admired, but recently forgotten.
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 before the contest, my heart pounded as I showed my parents the photos I had taken.
On the contest day, my parents and I found all my photos exhibited.

Dear Chris,
Hearing that you're organizing the Chinese Traditional Culture Week, I'm writing to share some practical suggestions for your display content.
To begin with, showcasing traditional handicrafts like paper - cutting and clay figurines is a fantastic option. These delicate artworks vividly embody the boundless ingenuity of ancient Chinese artisans, allowing visitors to feel the charm of folk art up close. What's more, a live tea ceremony demonstration would add a touch of elegance, as it perfectly reflects the profound etiquette and tranquil philosophy rooted in Chinese culture. Additionally, exhibiting traditional costumes such as hanfu is sure to draw crowds, since their elegant styles have strong visual appeal.
Hope these ideas will contribute to a remarkable event!
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
A week before the contest, my heart pounded as I showed my parents the photos I had taken. When Dad saw the picture of himself fixing our neighbor's garden fence, he froze, his eyes wide open. He stared at it for a long time, with mixed feelings in his eyes. Then, he turned to me, his eyes sparkling with pride. “I never realized you have a talent for photography,” he said softly, his voice thick with emotion. He pulled me into a firm, affectionate hug. “You see the beauty in ordinary things,” he whispered, his words healing my heart.
On the contest day, my parents and I found all my photos exhibited. We watched visitors pause before my photos, whispering in appreciation. When the judges announced that I won first prize, a wave of pure joy and immense pride washed over me. My parents hugged me tightly, tears in their eyes. “I am so proud of you,” Dad whispered emotionally. At that moment, the pain of our past arguments simply melted away. Now, Dad has built me a darkroom in the garage. The camera, once a source of conflict, has become a beautiful bridge connecting us all.

M: Good morning, everyone. Today, I'd like to talk about adopting a low - carbon lifestyle right here in our school. If we look around, we can still see many practices that are against our environmentally friendly concept. For instance, lights and air - conditioners are often left on in empty classrooms, and single - use plastic bottles are commonly seen in the trash bins. What we are doing now significantly increase our carbon footprint. So what shall we do to change our lifestyle It's simpler than you think. First, we should turn off the electrical appliances when leaving a room. Second, we can use reusable water bottles instead of buying bottled water. Moreover, it is a good idea to walk, cycle, or take public transport to school instead of relying on private cars so that we can reduce our carbon emissions. By adopting these simple habits, we are not just following a trend. We are actively establishing a green lifestyle. Every small effort counts. Let's take action now. Let's make our school and our world a more sustainable place.
