Passage 1
I’d spent nearly a year building my own running robot, named Bolt, for a half-marathon challenge for smart
machines. My bedroom had been turned into a 1 , with wires, sensors and metal parts 2 across
the desk. Many times I wanted to quit when the robot 3 or failed to move straight, but my passion for
robotics kept me going.
The race day finally arrived. At the starting line, hundreds of competitors stood with their high-tech inventions,
some supported by massive teams and huge 4 . I felt nervous but determined as I checked Bolt’s 5
and stability.
The whistle blew. Bolt moved forward 6 , step by step, under my remote control. Just as we passed
the halfway mark, a sudden pothole in the road caught Bolt off 7 — its left leg stumbled, and the robot
8 to the ground with a clank (金属哐当声). Without 9 , I knelt down, quickly checking its sensors
and wires. The left wheel was 10 . I adjusted the wheel, then picked up the 11 again, gently
12 Bolt to stand back onto its feet. “Come on, Bolt,” I whispered, patting its 13 body while
pressing the control button. “We’re not done yet.”
Bolt crossed the finishing line smoothly, a 14 warrior crafted from wires and metal. Though
victory’s crown eluded me, I’d learned that persistence is the quiet fire that 15 perfection.

Passage 2
Last Saturday, when I opened the fridge to prepare dinner, I noticed something odd about the tomatoes I had
picked out so carefully. Their skins, which I expected to be 1 and bright, were dotted with strange little
marks. My first thought was that they had gone 2 far too quickly, and I nearly threw them out right then
and there.
But 3 got the better of me. I 4 them more closely and found they weren’t signs of rot (腐
烂). A little research revealed that these marks often come from nature itself — tiny insects or worms that 5
leave faint traces on the fruit as it grows. In fact, tomatoes with such 6 are surprisingly common. They
simply carry the story of how they 7 in the field.
The more I read, the more I 8 that these small marks were just part of the natural life cycle of plants.
Weather conditions, soil health, and even 9 plant diseases can leave behind their signature patterns.
What I had first mistaken as a problem was really just a(n) 10 that food comes from living plants,
11 by nature and not by perfection.
In the end, I decided not to 12 them. Instead, I made a dish with these tomatoes. The 13
was just as great as ever, maybe even better than before. That night, my family enjoyed a delicious meal, and I
learned something 14 : Sometimes, what looks imperfect on the outside can turn out to be the most
rewarding 15 in life.

Passage 4
The frozen pond behind our house was like a sheet of glass, indifferent to my fear. Learning to skate at the
age of fourteen seemed 1 . My ankles wobbled like loose machines, and the cold went through my rental
skates before I 2 stepped off the slope.
That first fall hurt my 3 more than anything else. The ice 4 my palms, and the
laughter of younger kids circling past made my ears 5 . “Keep your knees bent,” my dad would say, but
my 6 refused to trust him. For weeks, I held on to the boards, 7 along while everyone else
chased pucks (冰球) happily.
The challenge wasn’t just physical; it was a daily war with the 8 inside telling me I didn’t belong
out there. I watched the others slide backward effortlessly, and my 9 grew into a quiet fury.
Instead of giving up, I chose to push myself harder. One morning, when I arrived at the ice court, it was
empty and silent. Determined to stop grabbing the rail, I 10 from the center. I fell. Got up. Fell again.
This time, I didn’t care about external 11 or recognition. I just focused on the scrape of the blade (冰
刀), the bend of my knee, and the 12 of the push.
Slowly, the stuttering stops turned into strides. By the end of that winter, I wasn’t the 13 , but I
had earned my place. I learned that indomitable spirit isn’t about never falling — it is about 14 that the
ice never cares about your excuses. It only respects the 15 you bring to it.

Passage 5
Visha and Ankeet Shah were in the middle of a meaningful moment of their wedding at the Oklahoma City
Convention Center when something unexpected happened. The couple was celebrating their traditional Garba
dance, something Visha had been especially 1 about, when the music suddenly stopped and sirens (警
报) 2 the room.
“I remember them saying, ‘We have an 3 ! There’s a tornado (龙卷风) happening and we need to
take 4 and go downstairs,’” Ankeet 5 .
With nearly 400 guests in attendance, the wedding planner and venue staff quickly sprang into action, 6
moving everyone downstairs in about 10 to 15 minutes. As the group settled into the shelter, they realized they
weren’t 7 . A volleyball tournament was also 8 in the building at the same time, and the teams
had also been directed to shelter in place.
That’s when the mood began to 9 .
“We started chatting with one of the coaches, and the girls ran onto the court to take pictures with the
couple, which 10 them up,” said the wedding planner, who decided to continue the ceremony then.
Members of the volleyball teams didn’t just watch from the sidelines — they jumped right into the 11

Passage 6
My husband and I planned to travel around Tasmania with our camper trailer (露营拖车). We drove from
Albany in Western Australia, 1 our bikes, surfboards, and our dog, Anzac.
Everything went 2 until we reached St Helens. We were excited to ride the bike, but our 3
quickly turned to disaster when my husband broke his leg on the way. Thanks to the local emergency services, he
was 4 and airlifted to the hospital. Suddenly, I was left alone, 5 for all the belongings. However,
packing up the trailer was impossible by myself.
The next day, new neighbors arrived at our campsite. A man named Sam and his partner, Hillary, 6
my situation. After I explained the 7 , they immediately offered to help. Over the next few hours, Sam
carefully packed the trailer while Hillary guided and 8 me. It was physically demanding and 9 ,
but with their help, everything was done far faster than I could have 10 on my own.
Their 11 continued throughout my husband’s recovery. They helped me find a place to stay near the
hospital and 12 I had everything I needed to 13 the next part of the journey.

Passage 7
Ethan Wargo, 9, launched what he calls a “compliments ( 赞美) stand” in mid-July, spending up to five
hours a day at his table. When people 1 , he first asks them about their day and tries to get to 2

Passage 9
On a cloudy July Saturday, 15 women, all over 65, hunted trash at Mares Pond. As it does every Saturday, it
was a 1 morning for the Old Ladies Against Underwater Garbage (OLAUG), a group born of one
woman’s vision.
Beneath the dark water, 72-year-old Margaret’s hand touched something 2 . It was a long, rusted
metal piece. With a quick 3 , her friends swam over. Together, they 4 the heavy metal onto a
waiting kayak (皮艇).
Part conservation organization, part social club, the group was 5 by Susan Bauer, a retired

Passage 11
It was the night before an important exam. My friends burst into my room excitedly, celebrating their
success in downloading the exam paper. They 1 me to join them. After a brief moment of temptation, I
refused firmly and went straight to the library.
The next day, the professor 2 the cheating and decided to interview students individually. When
my turn came, she looked at me 3 and asked directly if I knew who had cheated. My heart pounded
rapidly as I faced a tough moral 4 : to lie, or to tell the truth. Honesty, a value 5 deep in me
since childhood, deeply shapes my integrity, yet I still wanted to 6 my friends. But I clearly knew that
allowing their dishonesty is not loyalty at all. Personal loyalty to friends can 7 with moral standards that
have guided us through every stage of life, and 8 like truthfulness are the foundation of any meaningful
relationship. I felt 9 for a short while but finally chose honesty: reporting them would 10
their trust temporarily but might wake them up to their mistake, while silence would leave me 11 and
betray my own moral code. I took a deep breath and told the professor everything truthfully.
A society cannot function without honesty, and a community cannot thrive without true 12 , the
kind that puts truth over personal bonds. I made my decision with 13 reflection; my choice 14
me as a person who values integrity over temporary comfort. In the end, the most important judge is my own
15 , and I have no regret about choosing honesty.

Passage 12
The girl in the lab coat was extracting DNA from a piece of lettuce (生菜). Beside her, a boy was adjusting
his equipment. Outside the walls, their 1 worked hard under the sun, pulling lettuce from the earth while
their kids 2 its genetic material.
The overlap (重叠) was 3 . In this 1-week summer camp, we aimed to show students that there is
a(n) 4 from the agricultural work their communities have done for generations to STEM.
The program aiming to help students from 5 families out was personal for me because I, too, grew
up in an agricultural town where college wasn’t the 6 path — it was the exception. I know the feeling of
sitting in classrooms preparing for 7 , not leadership, and sensing some students will be 8 by
universities and others not.
I graduated from high school with a terrible 1.9 GPA, so community college was my only 9 . My
first year there was marked by a series of 10 and falling grades. But with instructors’ encouragement, I
eventually 11 . A decade and a half later, I had earned a master’s degree at Johns Hopkins University —
the outcomes I could never have 12 . Shortly after, I was even elected to 13 a STEM program for
students from migratory farmworker families.
Today, watching these students, I, as a tutor, still feel unbelievable given my 14 beginnings. I know
how 15 that moment has changed me when someone finally sees in you what you could not yet see in
yourself.

Passage 14
I was struggling in my junior year at school. My grades during my junior year were 1 . My
teachers had told me that if I couldn’t keep my 2 up, I should spend more time on my studies and
advised me not to participate in the school play. Acting was my only relief from stress and my way to deal with
life, but suddenly, that outlet was 3 . The situation reached a breaking point that day when my acting
teacher called me into his classroom. Instead of offering 4 , he told me that the situation would be a(n)
5 if I didn’t make a change. Hearing that, I felt ashamed and 6 , crying for the first time since my
father had left home.
I sat on the train, trying to control my tears but 7 . I felt lonely in my despair. Just then, a woman
sitting a few 8 away approached me. She didn’t ignore me. Instead, she opened her arms and 9
me. She whispered gently, “I don’t know what you’re 10 , but you’re going to be okay.”
She got off at the next stop before I could properly thank her. However, her 11 act had a lasting
impact. Four months later, I moved to a new town for a fresh 12 . Whenever I recall that dark period, I
not only remember the pain but also remember that 13 . Her comfort gave me the courage to 14
forward and taught me a valuable lesson — no matter how difficult life becomes, things will 15 get
better.

Passage 15
I’m not sure if laziness is a habit, but I must say that I’m quite good at it. Around fifteen years ago, my wife
1 me for a health workshop without my knowledge — I was informed of this after the 2 .
During a lecture, the doctor talked about the importance of exercise for good health. On the doctor’s 3
, I aimed to walk around 10,000 steps daily. As my walks 4 around the local neighborhood, I began to
notice so much litter everywhere. It 5 me that I could do something. Soon, I began my daily 6
for roadside litter. Little by little, the neighborhood began to 7 .
So would my 8 as a result. One morning, while picking up litter, I saw a crowd with many dogs on a
baseball field, wondering what they were doing. Soon after, I 9 myself in lockstep with a woman with a
Golden Retriever (金毛犬). We started chatting, learning I was a dog lover, she invited me into the 10
where a group of dog lovers gathered.
For the past fifteen years, I have bounded out of bed every morning to be surrounded by dogs and friends I
would have never met 11 . Over time, I have 12 photo calendars featuring my photography of
so many furry friends. Best of all, I found myself part of a 13 community, sharing birthdays, holidays
and celebrations.
It is safe to say I never saw this coming when I acquiesced (默许) to being 14 that health workshop.
There is no doubt that changing 15 opened up a whole new world for me.
