On a cloudy Saturday morning in July, a team of 15—all over age 65, all women—hunts for trash across Mares
Pond on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet.
These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group has made it its mission
to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.
The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. A lifelong nature lover, she had begun
swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer choice to the ocean. Seeing the growing garbage in the pond, in 2017, she
rounded up two friends and approached a stranger with a kayak (皮艇), and together they cleared the litter from a
pond. Soon others joined them.
While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, a number have
questioned why they refer to themselves as“old ladies”. Although she admits that it wasn't initially a conscious choice,
she now believes that the “old lady” identity is an extremely important part of what the group is about.
“Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of thankfulness,” Baur says. She notes
that “women over 65 tend to feel the limitation of aging. ”They lose power and social standing, she says. Part of the
goal of OLAUG is to show that older women, working as a team, can do a lot more than people might think.
Criticism aside, the most common response is “I want to join you.” And after that first dive, the new
members’excitement is easily seen.“They have just swum farther than they’ve ever swum. They've seen what they've never seen. And they’ve done
good,” says Baur. “They come back with their hearts beating.”
4. What can we learn about OLAUG?
A. It is established by Baur’s friends. B. It offers safer swimming ponds.
C. It is supported by retired psychologists. D. It aims to remove trash from ponds.
5. What do Baur’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?
A. People over 65 are rarely healthy.
B. People should be thankful for old age.
C. Older women can still contribute to the society.
D. Older people may lose chance to do what they like.
6. What is the attitude of most new members towards OLAUG?
A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. OLAUG: Making the World a Cleaner Place
.
B OLAUG: the Only Solution to Underwater Trash
C. Old Ladies: Diving Deep for a Cleaner Cape Cod
D. Old Ladies: Unsung Heroes of Pond Conservation

If you sit at your computer all day and then lie on the sofa for more screen time in the evening, your health can
take a hit. However, a body of evidence links inactive lifestyles to an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病), memory
loss and death from heart disease. A new study finds you can cut that risk with strikingly small amounts of activity.
Researcher Keith Diaz of Columbia University Medical Center and his colleagues set out to find out what’s the
least amount of physical activity a person must do to reduce the health risks of sitting. They invited volunteers to
come to their lab and emulate a typical work day.
“They’d come in and sit for eight hours,” Diaz explains. The volunteers were connected to continuous glucose
(葡萄糖) monitors to measure blood sugar levels, and their blood pressure was measured, too. Then, the participants
took walking breaks of different lengths and frequency.
The participants walked on an exercise machine at a leisurely pace — about 1.9 miles per hour. “We were really
struck by just how powerful the effects were,” Diaz says. People who moved five minutes every half-hour experienced
a nearly 60% reduction in post-meal blood sugar rises. “I have never seen that kind of a drop in blood sugar, other
than with medication,” Diaz says.
More than one out of every three adults in the U.S. has prediabetes, and nearly half of adults have high bloodpressure. Both conditions increase the risk of heart disease which is the top cause of death in the U.S.. So, Diaz says
many people can benefit from small, frequent movement breaks.
Each week, adults are advised to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity. It can be broken up
into smaller parts, 30 minutes a day, five times a week for example or even shorter breaks that are more frequent. “I
think it’s easier to find small amounts of time to get some exercise,” Diaz says.
8. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Describe. B. Imitate.
C. Schedule. D. Consider.
9. What do participants have to do?
A. Measure their blood pressure with each other.
B. Take medicines to lower blood sugar levels.
C. Take breaks of different length while walking.
D. Take irregular walking rests of varying duration.
10. What does Diaz suggest adults do?
A. Schedule a daily 150-minute exercise.
B. Engage in short regular exercise breaks.
C. Aim for one long exercise period per week.
D. Avoid taking any breaks from work for exercise.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?
A. Entertainment. B. Business.
C. Education. D. Health.
D
In recent years, some researchers have been exploring the possibility of so-called “automated valet parking”, a
function that would allow a car to drive itself from the entrance of a parking to a free parking spot. While this
autonomous driving application gathered great research interest, its reliable realization has so far proved
challenging.
Researchers at Mach Drive in Shanghai recently developed OCEAN, an Openspace Collision-freE trAjectory
plaNner for the autonomous parking of vehicles. This planner was found to significantly improve the ability of cars
to safely reach a parking spot, without colliding (碰撞) with objects on the way. It was designed to overcome the
two primary shortcomings of approaches presented in previous studies tackling autonomous parking. The first of
these is the inability to accurately predict collisions, while the second involves poor performance in real-time tests.
The OCEAN planner builds on a previously introduced approach called Hybrid Optimization-based CollisionAvoidance (H-OBCA), dealing with its primary limitations. Its improved design ultimately improves its ability to
avoid collisions, along with its stability and speed in real time. “To avoid collisions, we have redesigned a simpler
mathematical model and found a method to deal with the problem, making the solution process faster and more
efficient,” Wang, Lu and their colleagues wrote in their paper.
They tested their planner on hundreds of simulated (模拟的) scenes and conducted real-world experiments in
public parking areas. Their results were highly promising, as OCEAN was found to outperform a variety of
methods for autonomous parking applications.
“Results show that the proposed method has better system performance compared with other standards,”
Wang, Lu and his colleagues explained in their paper. “Our method makes it possible to deploy (部署) large-scale
parking planner on low computing power platforms that require real-time performance.”
The planner developed by this team of researchers could be improved and tested in additional real-world trials.
In the future, it could be deployed by car-making firms, contributing to the introduction of automated vehicle
parking technologies.
12. What challenge does automated parking face?
A. Avoiding collisions with obstacles. B. Reaching a parking spot quickly.
C. Increasing in research investment. D. Gathering interest in the research.
13. What do we know about OCEAN?
.
A It performs poorly in real-time tests. B. It is based on a previous study.
C. It fails to accurately predict collisions. D. It is tested mainly in public parking areas.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. The planner fails on real-time platforms.
.
B The current planner is not perfect enough.
C. Parking planner is only for small-scale use.
D. The planner has been deployed on many platforms.
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. The underlying logic of the OCEAN planner.
B. The possible application of the OCEAN planner.
C. An improved planner for autonomous car parking.
D. An introduction to an autonomous driving technology.

In high school, I was the kind of student who preferred to remain unnoticed, hiding in the shadows of my louder
and more outgoing classmates. Singing was a secret joy that I held close to my heart, but the fear of being judged and
laughed at kept me from ever sharing it openly.
One unexpected day, during a school-wide meeting, a popular song filled the air, and I found myself singing
along absentmindedly. Little did I know that my music teacher, Miss Johnson, had overheard my unguarded
moment.
Days later, after the final bell rang, Miss Johnson approached me with a kind smile.“ I heard you singing during
the meeting,” she said, her voice filled with surprise. “You have a beautiful voice. Have you ever considered
participating in the school’s singing competition?”
My heart sank. I shook my head, my voice barely noticeable as I whispered, “I’m too shy. I couldn’t do that.”
Miss Johnson’s eyes twinkled with understanding.“ Shyness is just a wall you’ve built around yourself,” she
said gently. “But with practice and courage, you can break through it. I see potential in you, and I believe in you.”
Her words touched me deeply, and for the first time, I felt a little brave. I decided to take her ad vice and start
practicing. I sang in my room, alone, with the door closed, every day after school. I faced the mirror, pretending there
was an audience before me, and I sang with all my heart. My voice was initially low and uncertain, but with every
passing day, it grew stronger and more confident.
Miss Johnson continued to encourage me, reminding me that talent was meant to be shared. She said, “Your
voice is a gift , and the world deserves to hear it. Don’t let shyness rob you of that opportunity.”
Inspired by her words, I gathered all my courage and signed up for the singing competition.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；

On a cloudy Saturday morning in July, a team of 15—all over age 65, all women—hunts for trash across Mares
Pond on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet.
These are the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG). Since 2017, the group has made it its mission
to remove trash from ponds across Cape Cod.
The group’s existence is owed to Susan Baur, a retired psychologist. A lifelong nature lover, she had begun
swimming in ponds on the cape as a safer choice to the ocean. Seeing the growing garbage in the pond, in 2017, she
rounded up two friends and approached a stranger with a kayak (皮艇), and together they cleared the litter from a
pond. Soon others joined them.
While many outsiders have expressed their gratitude to OLAUG for cleaning up the ponds, a number have
questioned why they refer to themselves as“old ladies”. Although she admits that it wasn't initially a conscious choice,
she now believes that the “old lady” identity is an extremely important part of what the group is about.
“Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of thankfulness,” Baur says. She notes
that “women over 65 tend to feel the limitation of aging. ”They lose power and social standing, she says. Part of the
goal of OLAUG is to show that older women, working as a team, can do a lot more than people might think.
Criticism aside, the most common response is “I want to join you.” And after that first dive, the new
members’excitement is easily seen.
“They have just swum farther than they’ve ever swum. They've seen what they've never seen. And they’ve done
good,” says Baur. “They come back with their hearts beating.”
4. What can we learn about OLAUG?
A. It is established by Baur’s friends. B. It offers safer swimming ponds.
C. It is supported by retired psychologists. D. It aims to remove trash from ponds.
5. What do Baur’s words in paragraph 5 suggest?
A. People over 65 are rarely healthy.
B. People should be thankful for old age.
C. Older women can still contribute to the society.
D. Older people may lose chance to do what they like.
6. What is the attitude of most new members towards OLAUG?A. Favorable. B. Intolerant. C. Doubtful. D. Unclear.
7. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
A. OLAUG: Making the World a Cleaner Place
B. OLAUG: the Only Solution to Underwater Trash
C. Old Ladies: Diving Deep for a Cleaner Cape Cod
D. Old Ladies: Unsung Heroes of Pond Conservation
【答案】4. D 5. C 6. A 7. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG)以清除Cape Cod
池塘中的垃圾作为其使命。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第二段“Since 2017, the group has made it its mission to remove trash from ponds across
Cape Cod.b(自2017年以来，该组织将清除Cape Cod池塘中的垃圾作为其使命。)”可知， OLAUG旨在清
除池塘中的垃圾。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。由第五段中“Over 65, if you’re healthy enough to do what we’re doing, it is the age of
thankfulness, (65岁以上，如果你足够健康，可以做我们正在做的事情，那就是感恩年龄，)”以及“Part of
thegoal of OLAUG is to show that older women, working as a team, can do a lot more than people might think.
(OLAUG的部分目标是表明，作为一个团队，老年女性可以做比人们想象的多得多的事情。)”可知，Baur
认为老年妇女仍然可以为社会做出贡献。故选C项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。由文章第六段“And after that first dive, the new members’excitement is easily seen. (在第一次跳
水之后，新队员们的兴奋之情显而易见。)”可知，新成员对OLAUG是支持的。故选A项。
【7题详解】
主旨大意题。由文章第一段“On a cloudy Saturday morning in July, a team of 15—all over age 65, all women—
hunts for trash across Mares Pond on Cape Cod, at depths of up to 8 feet. (7月的一个多云的周六早上，一支由
15人组成的队伍——年龄都在65岁以上，都是女性——在Cape Cod的Mares Pond深处8英尺的地方搜寻
垃圾。)”以及下文可知，文章主要介绍Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG)以清除Cape Cod
池塘中的垃圾作为其使命。所以C项Old Ladies: Diving Deep for a Cleaner Cape Cod(老太太们：为了更干净
的Cape Cod而深潜)符合语境。故选C项。

If you sit at your computer all day and then lie on the sofa for more screen time in the evening, your health cantake a hit. However, a body of evidence links inactive lifestyles to an increased risk of diabetes (糖尿病), memory
loss and death from heart disease. A new study finds you can cut that risk with strikingly small amounts of activity.
Researcher Keith Diaz of Columbia University Medical Center and his colleagues set out to find out what’s the
least amount of physical activity a person must do to reduce the health risks of sitting. They invited volunteers to
come to their lab and emulate a typical work day.
“They’d come in and sit for eight hours,” Diaz explains. The volunteers were connected to continuous glucose
(葡萄糖) monitors to measure blood sugar levels, and their blood pressure was measured, too. Then, the participants
took walking breaks of different lengths and frequency.
The participants walked on an exercise machine at a leisurely pace — about 1.9 miles per hour. “We were really
struck by just how powerful the effects were,” Diaz says. People who moved five minutes every half-hour experienced
a nearly 60% reduction in post-meal blood sugar rises. “I have never seen that kind of a drop in blood sugar, other
than with medication,” Diaz says.
More than one out of every three adults in the U.S. has prediabetes, and nearly half of adults have high blood
pressure. Both conditions increase the risk of heart disease which is the top cause of death in the U.S.. So, Diaz says
many people can benefit from small, frequent movement breaks.
Each week, adults are advised to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity. It can be broken up
into smaller parts, 30 minutes a day, five times a week for example or even shorter breaks that are more frequent. “I
think it’s easier to find small amounts of time to get some exercise,” Diaz says.
8. What does the underlined word “emulate” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Describe. B. Imitate.
C. Schedule. D. Consider.
9. What do participants have to do?
A. Measure their blood pressure with each other.
B. Take medicines to lower blood sugar levels.
C. Take breaks of different length while walking.
D. Take irregular walking rests of varying duration.
10. What does Diaz suggest adults do?
A. Schedule a daily 150-minute exercise.
B. Engage in short regular exercise breaks.
C. Aim for one long exercise period per week.
D. Avoid taking any breaks from work for exercise.
11. In which section of a newspaper may this text appear?A. Entertainment. B. Business.
C. Education. D. Health.
【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。研究发现定期进行短暂的运动休息可以减少一些潜在的疾病。
【8题详解】
词句猜测题。由文章第二段“They invited volunteers to come to their lab and emulate a typical work day.(他们
邀请志愿者来到他们的实验室，emulate 一个典型的工作日。)”以及第三段“They’d come in and sit for
eight hours(他们会进来坐八个小时)”可知，这里指邀请志愿者来“模仿”一个工作日。所以猜测emulate
表“模仿”的意思。故选B项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。由文章第三段“Then, the participants took walking breaks of different lengths and frequency.(然后，
的
参与者进行不同长度和频率 步行休息。)”可知，参与者必须不定期地进行不同时间的步行休息。故选D
项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。由文章最后一段“Each week, adults are advised to get 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical
activity. It can be broken up into smaller parts, 30 minutes a day, five times a week for example or even shorter
breaks that are more frequent.‘I think it's easier to find small amounts of time to get some exercise,’ Diaz says.(建
议成年人每周进行150分钟中等强度的体育活动。它可以分成更小的部分，例如每天30分钟，每周5次，
甚至更频繁的更短的休息时间。Diaz说：‘我认为找少量时间锻炼会更容易。’)”可知，Diaz建议成人
定期进行短暂的运动休息。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文，尤其文章第二段中“Researcher Keith Diaz of Columbia University Medical Center
and his colleagues set out to find out what’s the least amount of physical activity a person must do to reduce the
health risks of sitting.(哥伦比亚大学医学中心的研究人员Keith Diaz和他的同事们开始研究一个人为了减少
久坐的健康风险而必须进行的最少的体育活动。)”可知，文章主要讲坚持运动休息从而减少疾病，所以应
出现在报纸的“健康”专栏。故选D项。

In recent years, some researchers have been exploring the possibility of so-called “automated valet parking”, a
function that would allow a car to drive itself from the entrance of a parking to a free parking spot. While this
autonomous driving application gathered great research interest, its reliable realization has so far provedchallenging.
Researchers at Mach Drive in Shanghai recently developed OCEAN, an Openspace Collision-freE trAjectory
plaNner for the autonomous parking of vehicles. This planner was found to significantly improve the ability of cars
to safely reach a parking spot, without colliding (碰撞) with objects on the way. It was designed to overcome the
two primary shortcomings of approaches presented in previous studies tackling autonomous parking. The first of
these is the inability to accurately predict collisions, while the second involves poor performance in real-time tests.
The OCEAN planner builds on a previously introduced approach called Hybrid Optimization-based Collision
Avoidance (H-OBCA), dealing with its primary limitations. Its improved design ultimately improves its ability to
avoid collisions, along with its stability and speed in real time. “To avoid collisions, we have redesigned a simpler
mathematical model and found a method to deal with the problem, making the solution process faster and more
efficient,” Wang, Lu and their colleagues wrote in their paper.
They tested their planner on hundreds of simulated (模拟的) scenes and conducted real-world experiments in
public parking areas. Their results were highly promising, as OCEAN was found to outperform a variety of
methods for autonomous parking applications.
“Results show that the proposed method has better system performance compared with other standards,”
Wang, Lu and his colleagues explained in their paper. “Our method makes it possible to deploy (部署) large-scale
parking planner on low computing power platforms that require real-time performance.”
The planner developed by this team of researchers could be improved and tested in additional real-world trials.
In the future, it could be deployed by car-making firms, contributing to the introduction of automated vehicle
parking technologies.
12. What challenge does automated parking face?
A. Avoiding collisions with obstacles. B. Reaching a parking spot quickly.
C. Increasing in research investment. D. Gathering interest in the research.
13. What do we know about OCEAN?
A. It performs poorly in real-time tests. B. It is based on a previous study.
C. It fails to accurately predict collisions. D. It is tested mainly in public parking areas.
14. What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?
A. The planner fails on real-time platforms.
B. The current planner is not perfect enough.
C. Parking planner is only for small-scale use.
D. The planner has been deployed on many platforms.
15. What is the text mainly about?A. The underlying logic of the OCEAN planner.
B. The possible application of the OCEAN planner.
C. An improved planner for autonomous car parking.
D. An introduction to an autonomous driving technology.
【答案】12. A 13. B 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了上海Mach Drive的研究人员开发了名为OCEAN的自动泊车轨

collisions, while the second involves poor performance in real-time tests.”（它旨在克服先前研究中提出的自动
泊车方法的两个主要缺点。首先是无法准确预测碰撞，其次是实时测试性能较差。）可知，自动泊车面临
的主要挑战是无法准确预测碰撞和在实时测试中表现不佳，即自动泊车无法准确预测碰撞，很难避免与障
碍物碰撞。由此推知，A项“避免与障碍物碰撞”是自动驾驶面临的挑战。故选A项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“The OCEAN planner builds on a previously introduced approach called Hybrid
Optimization-based Collision Avoidance (H-OBCA) ”（OCEAN规划器是在之前引入的一种方法的基础上建
立的，这种方法叫做基于混合优化的碰撞避免(H-OBCA)。）可知，OCEAN是基于之前的研究建立的。故

词so可知，设空句与下文之间是因果关系。下文讲“从列出你最喜欢的活动开始”，与G项“A dream
career allows you to focus on your passions (一个梦想的职业可以让你专注于你的激情)”构成因果关系，因为
梦想的职业，即最喜欢做的事情，可以让我们更有激情，更专注，所以寻找梦想职业，第一步是要先列出
自己最喜欢的活动，同时，句中“A dream career”与下文“your favorite activities”相照应。故选G项。
【17题详解】
设空处是第二个步骤的小标题。根据下文“Once you’ve determined your favorite activities, consider why you
like them. (一旦你确定了你最喜欢的活动，考虑一下你为什么喜欢它们。)”可知，这一步是要思考为什么
喜欢这些活动，也就是要确定你对它们的兴趣所在。D项“确定你对它们感兴趣的地方”正好概括了这一
步的内容。故选D项。
【18题详解】
第三段中提出要找到自己的兴趣所在，并用拼图游戏进行了举例说明：喜欢拼图游戏说明我们喜欢“解决
问题”。结合本段设空句下文“If you feel motivated by solving problems at work (如果你觉得在工作中解决
问题是一种动力)”可知，这里提到了第三段中的“解决问题”，所以本段借用了第三段中拼图游戏的例子，
即“Consider the jigsaw puzzle example (考虑一下拼图游戏的例子)”。故选B项。
【19题详解】
上文“research the education and training requirements for the job (研究工作的教育和培训要求)”提到要弄清
楚工作对的教育和培训方面的要求，下文“you might explore different colleges and universities to find a
program that works best for you (你可以研究不同的学院和大学，找到一个最适合你的课程)”提出到学院和
大学去寻找合适的课程。A选项“如果需要学位”承上启下，说明如果选择的职业需要学位，你应该去不
同的学院和大学探索适合你的课程，上下文语意连贯。故选A项。
【20题详解】
设空句是末段首句，在上文介绍了寻找梦想职业的四个步骤之后，F项“After that, you can search for open
positions (之后，你就可以搜索空缺职位了)”说明接下应该做的事：搜索职位，上下文语意连贯。故选F
项。

第二节 (满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In high school, I was the kind of student who preferred to remain unnoticed, hiding in the shadows of my louder
and more outgoing classmates. Singing was a secret joy that I held close to my heart, but the fear of being judged and
laughed at kept me from ever sharing it openly.
One unexpected day, during a school-wide meeting, a popular song filled the air, and I found myself singing
along absentmindedly. Little did I know that my music teacher, Miss Johnson, had overheard my unguarded
moment.
Days later, after the final bell rang, Miss Johnson approached me with a kind smile.“ I heard you singing during
the meeting,” she said, her voice filled with surprise. “You have a beautiful voice. Have you ever considered
participating in the school’s singing competition?”
My heart sank. I shook my head, my voice barely noticeable as I whispered, “I’m too shy. I couldn’t do that.”
Miss Johnson’s eyes twinkled with understanding.“ Shyness is just a wall you’ve built around yourself,” she
said gently. “But with practice and courage, you can break through it. I see potential in you, and I believe in you.”
Her words touched me deeply, and for the first time, I felt a little brave. I decided to take her ad vice and start
practicing. I sang in my room, alone, with the door closed, every day after school. I faced the mirror, pretending therewas an audience before me, and I sang with all my heart. My voice was initially low and uncertain, but with every
passing day, it grew stronger and more confident.
Miss Johnson continued to encourage me, reminding me that talent was meant to be shared. She said, “Your
voice is a gift , and the world deserves to hear it. Don’t let shyness rob you of that opportunity.”
Inspired by her words, I gathered all my courage and signed up for the singing competition.
注意：
1. 续写词数应为150 左右；
2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

【答案】 The day of the singing competition finally arrived. My heart pounded in my chest like a drumroll as
I stood behind the curtain, waiting for my turn. I could feel beads of sweat forming on my forehead, but I remembered
Miss Johnson’s words: “Shyness is just a wall.” Taking a deep breath, I stepped onto the stage, illuminated by the
soft glow of the lights. My voice trembled at first, but then it found its strength, filling the auditorium with every
note.
As the last music note disappeared, the audience erupted in applause. It was a moment I had never dared to
dream of — standing under the spotlight, receiving recognition for something I once kept hidden. Tears pricked at
the corners of my eyes as I realized that Miss Johnson was right; shyness was indeed a barrier, but it was one that
could be overcome. With a newfound confidence, I smiled, knowing that I had not only shared my gift but also broken
free from the chains of my own fear.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述“我”性格内向，喜欢隐藏在人群中，私下里热爱唱歌却因害怕被嘲笑而不敢分享。一次偶然的机会，音乐老师Miss Johnson听到“我”哼歌，鼓励“我”参加学校歌唱比
赛。在她的理解和鼓励下，“我”开始练习，逐渐克服害羞，鼓起勇气报名参赛。
【详解】1. 段落续写：
①由第一段首句内容“歌唱比赛的日子终于到了。”可知，第一段可描写我站上舞台，克服害羞，开始表
演。
②由第二段首句内容“当最后一个音符消失时，观众爆发出热烈的掌声。”可知，第二段可描写我表演成
功得到认可，把自己从恐惧的枷锁中解脱了出来。
2. 续写线索：感到紧张心跳加快——克服障碍开始表演——表演成功获得掌声——挣脱枷锁找回自信
3. 词汇激活
行为类
①走上舞台：step onto the stage/walk onto the stage
②照亮：illuminate/lighten
③颤抖：tremble/quiver
情绪类
①羞怯：shyness/timidness
②恐惧：fear/dread
