I was the class monitor since the beginning of the school year, and I always felt confident in my role. Whether it
was organizing project groups or helping plan school events, I enjoyed taking charge and making sure things ran
smoothly. I thought I could handle almost any responsibility until I met Alex.
Alex was one of the quietest students in our class. I knew he was smart because his essays were always well-
written, and he got good grades in subjects like math and science. But when it came to speaking in front of others, it
seemed as if he became a different person.
I first realized how serious it was a few weeks ago, during a group discussion in history class. When Mr.
Collins asked Alex to share his thoughts, Alex’s face turned pale, and he just shook his head, unable to speak.
A few days later, Mr. Johnson made the announcement that changed everything. “For your final English project
this term,” he said, standing at the front of our bright classroom, “each of you will prepare and deliver a five-minute
individual presentation. You can choose any topic you’re passionate about.” Most of the class started whispering
excitedly, but when I glanced over at Alex, my heart sank.
I waited until the classroom emptied, and then I walked over to him. “Hey, Alex,” I said gently. “Are you
feeling alright about the presentation?”
He didn’t look up at first. Then, in a voice so low that I almost missed it, he explained that back in junior high
school he froze during a speech. He completely forgot everything, and the audience laughed.
His honesty surprised me, and I suddenly felt the weight of my role in a new way. This wasn’t just about
making sure everyone completed an assignment — this was about helping someone face a fear.
Suddenly it hit me that I could help him practice to overcome his fear.

When I was in middle school, one of my classmates, Wilson, came from a financially disadvantaged family.
Without support from the local government, he wouldn’t have been able to gain knowledge with us. Wilson always
kept a low profile despite his shiny academic performances and basketball skills.
In a class meeting, our head teacher, Lily, told us to share our ideal jobs on stage. When it was Wilson’s turn
to share, all of us fixed our eyes on what he was going to express. He had never talked about his dream with anyone
of us. Contrary to my assumption that he wanted to become a scientist, he said, “I desire to become a professional
basketball player, but I don’t know whether it’s possible for me. I just have no money to realize this demanding
dream.” Lily, who was experienced in inspiring students, persuaded Wilson to persist in enhancing his basketball
skills in spare time. She also noted that every dream deserved respecting.
Three months later, Wilson’s birthday came. Our monitor, Diana, put forward an idea that all of the classmates
prepared a gift for him together. Without hesitation, we were totally for the idea. However, no one knew what kinds
of gifts Wilson loved. It seemed a headache for us to pick out a suitable gift. Suddenly, Diana broke the silence,
saying, “Maybe we can consider Wilson’s dream — basketball. Selecting something about playing basketball will
cheer him up.” We all nodded. With our tasks assigned, we set out to make preparations for Wilson’s birthday, ranging
from decorating settings, raising money, to buying a birthday cake.
That day finally came after five days. We planned to give Wilson a big surprise. Therefore, we just informed
him that the P. E. teacher was waiting for him on the basketball court. Undoubtedly, he ran to the basketball court.
Meanwhile, the whole class were expecting his arrival, hoping to witness the surprise with him. Soon, Wilson entered
the basketball court, unaware of what would happen next. “Happy birthday!” we screamed excitedly.

Passage 1

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。
Bear was not a bear. She was a big dog on the Perkinses’ family farm, a woolly creature with floppy ears and
paws like bedroom slippers. She protected the ducks and chickens from being eaten by foxes and raccoons (浣熊) .
She guarded the children as well, watching over them as closely as she did the chickens and ducks. In winter
the dog ran alongside the children as they sledded (滑雪橇) down snowy hills. In summer she swam with them in a
nearby river.
Bear belonged to a breed (品种) that had long been used by Atlantic fishermen to help with their work, and it
had a keen instinct for water rescue. When the children were in the river, the dog would swim in circles around them,
barking when she felt they went out too far. She was the perfect farm dog — companion, guardian, protector.
The dog’s favorite among the three children was three-year-old little Mike. They often curled up together.
Sometimes Bear would doze while Mike pretended to read to her. Often both were sound asleep, a tangle of dark fur,
blond hair, small hands and huge paws. At bedtime, Mike saved his last hug for Bear, his “best friend”.
On a cold winter day, when their parents went out to send a parcel, eight-year-old Martha, seven-year-old Sara
and Mike, went to slide on the frozen pond of their farm. Shouting happily, they slid back and forth, their boots
gliding easily across the ice. They laughed as they watched Bear’s attempts to stop suddenly, which would instead
send her skidding beyond them. Then, tired, the three sat down on the ice, with Bear beside them. Suddenly the ice
gave way under their combined weight.
As Bear jumped for shore, the three children fell into the freezing cold water. Screaming, Martha and Sarah
struggled to find footing on rocks underwater. Branches from a tree nearby provided handholds, and using every bit
of their strength, the two girls pulled themselves to shore.

“Oh no!” I said, rooting through my dance bag. “My other dance shoe! I must have left it at home.” “Ms. Linda
has a bin of shoes,” Mom said. Inside, I found a pair a size too big. In class, Ms. Linda reminded us of just four
practices left before the holiday program, making me feel overpowered. I didn’t sign up for this much work.
“Dance class is no fun,” I told Mom. That evening, I said, “I want to quit. Can’t I do piano or karate ( 空手
道) instead?” I expected her usual saying, but she surprised me. “I’m going to let you decide this time.” “Really?”
“But what will your dance partner do if you quit?” she asked. “She won’t mind,” I said. “I don’t think she even knows
my name.”
The next Friday, Grandma picked me up, needing to check on her sick dog Mattie. On Saturday, Grandma took
me to the holiday wreath (花环) sale at the garden center, where I unexpectedly ran into my dance partner.
“Hi, Kami,” she said. She did know my name! “Where were you yesterday?” “My grandma’s dog was sick,” I
said. “I’ll be glad when the dance program is over,” she said. “I thought you liked dance.” “I do,” she said, “But being
onstage makes me nervous. My grandmother is flying in to watch. I’m afraid I’ll mess up.” “I get nervous, too,” I
told her. “Don’t worry, you’ll do great.” As we left, I waved. “Bye, Sylvia.”
Over the next few days, I kept thinking about Sylvia and her grandmother flying in. On Friday, Mom said
softly, “Grandma called me, saying Mattie’s better today. She invited you to make cookies this afternoon.” “Actually,” I
said, “I’m going to finish dance class. I want to be there for Sylvia at the program.” “Good,” Mom smiled. “Any idea
where your shoes are?”

My name is Helen, a middle-aged British woman. I had gone through several difficult months and ended up
feeling terribly low. Therefore, the moment I saw an advertisement for trial flying lessons while passing the airfield, I
went ahead and booked one without delay.
It was something I had always dreamed of trying, and I hoped it might lift my spirits a little bit. I thoroughly
enjoyed my trial lesson — even more than I had expected — and soon booked more. Like many before me, I found
flying an airplane to be addictive. It took my mind off my troubles. By the end of that summer, I had secured my
private pilot’s license and began taking local flights just for fun.
Then I decided to give helicopters (直升机) a try, only to find I enjoyed them even more. So, despite having
promised all my friends that I wouldn’t pursue it further, I ended up earning my private pilot’s license for helicopters as
well. Before long, I was renting small helicopters and taking friends for rides. But helicopter flying in Britain is very
expensive, and I knew I couldn’t keep it up forever as just a hobby.
I was aware that many people at our local airfield were taking commercial flying exams - some aiming to
become commercial pilots, and others hoping to become instructors. That gave me an idea: maybe, just maybe, I
could become a helicopter instructor myself. That way, I could fly for free and even get paid for it.
I went ahead with my plan pretty quickly, but I wasn’t prepared for some of the reactions I got. My friends
couldn’t believe I was serious. My boss at work said, “Oh, don’t be silly, Helen! You can’t possibly become a
commercial helicopter pilot.” That was clearly what others were thinking too — they were just too polite to say it out
loud. At first, I thought it was because of my age. After all, I was well over 40, which isn’t the typical time to start a
new career. But even so, why such strong reactions?

Sophia was a 16-year-old girl who had a great passion for painting. Ever since she was little, she had dreamed of
becoming an artist, and every brushstroke she made was filled with love. For months, she had been working on a
special painting for the district art competition. It was her most precious piece, full of her hope and effort — a vibrant
landscape of the park where she used to walk with her grandfather. She kept it carefully in her schoolbag, planning
to hand it in the next day, her heart fluttering with anticipation.
That afternoon, her deskmate Ethan noticed that she was anxiously searching everywhere for her notebook, so
he offered to help her look for it. In his eagerness to assist, he accidentally knocked the painting onto the floor in his
hurry. Worse still, before either of them could react, a cup of coffee that Sophia had left on the corner of the desk was
knocked over, and the dark liquid poured directly onto the painting. The colors ran, the paper soaked through, and
the beautiful scene was badly ruined beyond repair.
Seeing her months of hard work destroyed in an instant, Sophia felt as if her heart had been torn apart. Her
face turned red with anger and she shouted at Ethan, her voice shaking. She accused him of being thoughtless and
careless, and told him she never wanted to talk to him again. Ethan stood frozen, his face pale with shock and guilt.
He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came out. He felt extremely sorry, but he didn’t know how to make it
right. For days, they didn’t speak to each other. The classroom felt cold and empty without their usual laughter, and
their friendship was in deep trouble.
At night, Sophia stared at the ruined painting, feeling a mixture of sadness and regret. She missed Ethan’s
jokes, his help with homework, and the way he always cheered her up. But her pride kept her from reaching out.

To get his three kids to do their share of housework, Dad came up with a chore chart. “Do a chore, earn some
pocket money,” he told them. “Save up, and you can buy whatever toy you like.” Dad promised to hand out pocket
money every Saturday evening based on what they had done. The kids were over the moon.
Alex, the oldest, couldn’t get a cool skateboard out of his head. He threw himself into every chore he could
find. Before Ben could even grab a dish towel, Alex had already jumped in. When Lily reached for the mop (拖把),
he gently took it from her. He washed, swept, mopped, and even walked the dog four times a day. Soon, Ben and Lily
had almost nothing left to do.
Dad soon noticed. On Friday evening, he pulled Alex aside and said coldly, “This isn’t a race, Alex. Chores
are about learning to be responsible, not just about making money.” Alex’s cheeks burned. He had worked so hard,
but now Dad seemed disappointed with him. Feeling hurt, he walked off without a word.
On Saturday afternoon, the family went for a walk in the park. Alex was still quiet, dragging his feet behind
his parents. Then they saw a little girl crying under a big tree. Her balloon had floated up and gotten stuck on a branch.
Without thinking, Alex climbed the tree. His parents held their breath, watching nervously. “Be careful, Alex!” Mom
called out, her voice tight with worry. Dad stood close beneath the tree, arms half-raised, ready to catch him if he fell.
Ben and Lily cheered from the ground, “You can do it, Alex!” Ben shouted.
Alex reached out carefully, grabbed the balloon string, and climbed back down. He handed the balloon to the little
girl. Her eyes widened, and a big smile spread across her tear-stained face. “Thank you, thank you!” she cried,
hugging the balloon tightly.注意：

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。
On a beautiful Thursday this April, Mr and Mrs Brown took their daughter Lily out for a walk in the
neighborhood. On their way back, Mrs Brown picked up a doll for Lily from the local toy store — it had smooth hair
and wore a pretty blue dress, just like the dolls Lily always admired in shop windows. These days, when Mr and Mrs
Brown were busy with their work and spending less time at home, such small joys meant more than ever.
In the afternoon, Lily couldn’t wait to play with her new doll in the backyard. She was carefully pushing the
doll in her little toy pram (推车) when suddenly, a strong wind came and blew the pram down. Before Lily could
catch it, the pram hit a tree and fell over. The doll fell out and broke into pieces on the hard ground. Since the doll
was made of porcelain (瓷器) and completely broken, the Browns could do nothing about it. Heartbroken, Lily
collected all the pieces carefully. She found a small cardboard box and put all the broken pieces inside, then buried
it under the big oak tree in their garden.
About one hour later, their neighbor Mrs White happened to pass by and saw what had happened. She came
over to comfort little Lily. Seeing how sad the girl was, she really felt sorry for her. And it was at that moment that
she decided to do something special for the poor child.
The next day, Mr Brown went out to get the mail as usual and found a package. It was addressed to Lily, with
no sender’s name written on it. Feeling curious, he brought it inside and called his daughter. Lily carefully opened
the wrapped package.

I was in high school before I realized my father had a birth problem. He had a harelip and cleft palate ( 唇腭
裂), but to me, he’d looked the same since the day I was born. I still remember kissing him goodnight as a kid and
asking if my nose would go flat after a lifetime of kisses. He smiled and assured me it wouldn’t, but I remembered a
twinkle in his eyes. I was sure he was marveling about a daughter who thought her kisses, not thirty-three operations,
had reshaped his face.
My father was kind, patient, thoughtful and loving, my lifelong hero. Never did he let his appearance hold him
back. When rejected for sales work for being “too unattractive”, he delivered goods by bike and made his own route.
When turned away by the army, he became a volunteer. People always accepted his disability calmly when they met
his warm smile and positive spirit.
But as a so-called “sophisticated teen”, I grew embarrassed by him, barely tolerating being in the same room
with the man who’d let me watch him shave every morning for a decade. The man I once admired now seemed
hopelessly old-fashioned, especially compared to my trendy friends.
One afternoon, my classmates and I were hanging out at my home, laughing and playing games in the living
room. Suddenly, Dad walked in, his usual gentle smile on his face. He was eager to host them, hurrying to the kitchen
to pour cold sodas and pop fresh popcorn, chatting softly with my friends as he handed out the snacks. Just then, one
of my classmates tugged my sleeve and whispered, “What’s wrong with your dad?” His words hit me hard. I felt a
sharp sting of shame. I mumbled an excuse, hurried all my classmates out and spoke to Dad in an impatient, cold
tone when he looked at me in confusion, my face burning with embarrassment.

Born and raised in China, I’ve always taken the subtlety (微妙之处) of our daily expressions for granted. That
was until Mateo, my American classmate and close friend, came to study in China and raised a confusion that made
me rethink our culture deeply.
Absolutely fascinated by Chinese, Mateo immersed himself in every detail of daily life to learn the language
sincerely. Every morning he said “xiexie” at the vending (出售) machine, and on his way home, he greeted a parrot
with “ni hao”. Pure, polite and curious, he was trying hard to fit into this new culture.
One afternoon after class, we sat on the campus bench watching the sunset. Mateo’s cheerful face suddenly
darkened. Frowning, he poured out his long-lasting confusion.
“I love Chinese, but there’s one thing I just can’t understand: your way of speaking,” he whispered, puzzled
and helpless. “It’s too indirect. When invited somewhere, you always say ‘maybe’ instead of a clear yes or no.”
He continued with obvious frustration, “Last month I bought a bright red scarf for my host mom. She smiled
widely, saying ‘It’s beautiful. Thank you!’ But she has never worn it. In America, my mom would just say directly
‘It’s not my style’. I know my host mom loves me, but your expressions are so hard to read.”
I wanted to explain that our indirectness came from deep consideration. We avoided hurting others and valued
harmony. Yet all words stuck in my throat. I simply patted his shoulder and promised I would help him understand.
His confusion stayed in my mind, and I determined to find a chance to solve it.
Days passed. Then one weekend, a great opportunity came as Mateo and I stepped into the old alley (小巷)
near our school — my grandma’s favorite place for handmade desserts. We soon lost ourselves in the peaceful
atmosphere there. We stopped at a dessert shop and found my grandma was chatting cheerfully with the warm-hearted
shop owner, her best friend.

When I was chosen by my headteacher to present our class project at the annual school event on behalf of my
class, I felt both honored and anxious. Speaking in front of such a large audience had always been my biggest fear.
Although the project, which focused on reducing plastic waste on campus, meant a lot to all of us, I was still worried
that my nervousness would ruin everything.
During the first practice session, I struggled to get through the speech. My voice shook, and I mispronounced
several words. Worse still, I forgot some key points, which left me feeling both frustrated and embarrassed. Seeing
my struggle, my best friend Lily volunteered to help. Every afternoon, she stayed with me after school, patiently
listening to my rehearsals and giving suggestions. “Take it slow. You’re doing better each time,” she would say,
encouraging me with her calm smile. Slowly, I began to feel more confident.
A week before the event, our headteacher organized a full rehearsal in the auditorium. Standing on the huge
stage made my stomach flip, and I felt as if the bright lights were burning my face. Halfway through the speech, I
completely lost track of my lines and froze in panic. My heart was pounding, and I thought I would never continue.
Just then, I noticed my classmates in the front row, smiling and mouthing, “You can do it!” Their warm support
helped me regain focus, and I managed to finish the rehearsal, even if it wasn’t perfect.
The night before the event, I lay in bed, filled with worries about everything that might go wrong. I imagined
forgetting my lines, stumbling over words, or even tripping on the stage. The next morning, just before I stepped onto
the stage, Lily quietly slipped a small note into my hand. It read simply, “We believe in you.” Her words made my
heart race, but in a good way. I realized that I wasn’t alone — I had the support of my friends and classmates, and
that gave me courage.

When I was seven years old, my family moved from Mexico to America. In Mexico, I was a cheerful girl who
loved making people laugh with my jokes and inventing fun games to play with my friends. However, when I arrived
in America, I found it hard to fit in, and I became quieter.
We lived in a small house with a modest yard where we grew vegetables-my responsibility. While I took pride
in watching them grow, there were times when I dreamed of having a beautiful garden like my schoolmate Luella’s,
with its delicate tulips (郁金香). Although Luella lived in the same neighborhood as me, we barely knew each
other.
It was after a tornado that Luella and I finally became close friends.
The tornado struck on a Sunday afternoon. The gentle breeze transformed into a strong wind, and thick gray
clouds filled the sky. Gradually, the tornado took shape, starting as a thin rope and growing into a large black funnel
(漏斗). My entire family gathered in the bathroom, seeking shelter from the storm. Terrified, I sat close to my mom,
knees in my chest. After the storm had passed, our worries and fears were replaced by relief that we were unharmed
and that our house had remained undamaged.
As I stepped outside, I witnessed the extent of the damage the tornado had caused to our neighborhood. Across
the street, a tall tree had fallen, crushing Luella’s garden in front of her yellow house. We hurried over to check on it.
Fortunately, her family seemed to be away at the time, and no one was injured. However, her once-beautiful garden
was in ruins, with the fallen tree destroying the tulips and debris (碎片) spread everywhere. I could only imagine
how heartbroken they must feel seeing this.
Then my mom’s usual words rang in my ear, “It is more blessed to give than to receive,” and my family started
to think about how we could help.

Laurent Raymond, a 62-year-old sailing lover, was sailing alone off the coast of northwestern Spain. He was
trying to qualify for the Route du Rhum, a famous long-distance sailing race called the “Everest of sailing”. He had
trained hard for months to become strong and balanced, so he could face unexpected difficulties at sea. One stormy
night, after sailing for over 12 hours, he stopped to rest. Suddenly, a huge wave strongly hit his boat Jeanne.
The boat’s keel (龙骨) broke, and Jeanne turned upside down in seconds. Raymond hurried down to the lower
part of the boat just in time, but water kept rushing in. His glasses and electronic equipment were broken. He put on
his red life-saving suit, sent out an SOS signal, and waited in the small air capsule. The Spanish coast guard received
his signal at once and sent ships and helicopters. However, the terrible weather made a night rescue too dangerous.
Rescuers had to wait until morning, leaving Raymond alone in the cold, dark sea.
Meanwhile, Raymond’s wife Alice got the terrible news that his boat had turned over and his chance of survival
was almost zero. She was very sad and stayed awake all night, taking care of their young daughter and trying to be
brave. Though worried, Alice chose to trust her husband’s strong will. Raymond’s brother also encouraged her, saying

Trapped in the water-filled boat, Raymond fought against cold, tiredness and fear. The smell of gas hurt his
skin and eyes, and his air capsule became smaller and smaller. To stay alive, he held safety handles to keep warm.
Memories of his warm family gave him the strength to hold on. When morning came, the sea calmed down. Divers
found the overturned boat and were greatly surprised to hear his voice. Broken wood and wires blocked the door, so
they began to clear a path carefully.
