四、实战演练
（一）基础级（4 道）
1. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Boys like to be considered to be brave, but what kind of things can be considered to be brave? It
is not a question that can be answered by words, but by the actual deed. A boy with the name Henry
gave us a good example. Ronny and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played
together and went home together. One day as Ronny and Henry were going home after school, they
saw some people fighting in the street corner. Ronny said excitedly, “Some people are fighting! Let’s
go and have a look!” But Henry refused, “It’s none of our business. We’d better go home and don’t
get close to them. Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t
want them to worry about me.”
“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Ronny, and off he ran to the spot with some other
boys. Henry had to go home alone and didn't think about it anymore.
But Ronny thought Henry was a coward and told all the boys that. They laughed at him a great
deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him.
Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Ronny for his rude behavior, because he had learned
that true courage was shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he
ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and
continued to stick to his thought and go to school and study as well. However, Ronny didn’t invite
Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had his new friends who also thought Henry was a
coward. Every day after school, they didn't go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to
play games and had lots of fun.

“Someday I’m going to Ireland,” seven-year-old Carrie declared, her tiny finger pressing eagerly
against the green fields shown in her book. Her blue eyes shone, as if she could already see the sheep
eating grass and feel the fresh air on her face. Even at that young age, there was a quiet determination
in her voice that made me nod in agreement — this wasn’t just a passing dream.
She’d always been that way: never complaining, and always ready to shoulder responsibility.
After my husband lost his job, I took on odd jobs just to collect enough money for groceries and rent.
Carrie, without being asked, joined in — cleaning floors after school, fixing clothes on weekends,
and even preparing our lunches each morning so I could have one less thing to worry about.
As money grew tighter and bills continued to pile up, Carrie’s resolve only strengthened. When
she wrote an essay in fourth grade titled “My Biggest Wish” and penned “Visit Ireland” at the top, I
saw that same strong spirit in her words — the kind that refused to give up, no matter how tough the
circumstances.
High school brought the opportunity she’d been eagerly awaiting. One afternoon, she flew
through the door, backpack swinging wildly, and shouted, “Mama! The language class trip — we’re
going to Ireland! Five days!” Her smile, however, weakened slightly. “But it’s $1,500.” Before I
could say a word, she added firmly, “I can earn it. I will.” That’s when the apple pies became her
mission.
She dug up the treasured recipe Grandma had given her. Starting small, she sold pies to
neighbors after school. “One pie closer,” she’d whisper softly, wiping flour from her cheek as she
stood over the stove (炉子), her homework spread out on the table beside her.

3. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Fourteen-year-old Nathan ran a small stand selling colorful phone cases at the annual
community Summer Carnival (嘉年华). While younger kids crowded around other attractions, he
focused on his modest business. His real ambition, however, lay beyond this: he dreamed of owning
a 3D printer. With it, he could design and create unique phone cases himself, transforming his small
summer job into a proper online business.
One afternoon, a 10-year-old girl named Michele stopped by and bought one phone case for her
mom. As they talked, Nathan shared his dream of having a 3D printer. “With that printer, I can print
anything in any form,” Nathan said. “Anything in any form?” Michele’s eyes lit up with sudden
excitement. “Once you get it, could you please make a leg for my pet duck Tim? Because he was
missing one,” Michele said hopefully. “That’ s a cool project,” Nathan replied. He thought for a
minute. “I’ll make him one, but it won’t be ready now. I have to save up some of the money myself
to buy the 3D printer.” “How lucky Tim is! You are so kind!” Michele said happily, unable to contain
her excitement.
Before leaving, Michele exchanged phone numbers with Nathan. They discovered that they lived
in the same neighborhood, which meant Nathan could easily get close to the duck and measure the
size of its leg in person to ensure that a suitable prosthetic (假体的) leg could be made. He promised
to reach out as soon as he could afford a printer.
That evening, Nathan told his family about Michele and his promise. His parents praised his
kindness and initiative. They agreed to offer some financial support to buy the printer but also
emphasized the importance of his own effort. “We’re proud you’re earning this yourself, Nathan,”
his father said. “Saving your share shows real commitment.” Nathan nodded firmly, feeling more
determined than ever.

The annual School English Festival was coming, and our class decided to perform a short play.
Li Hua, a quiet and hard-working girl, was unexpectedly chosen to play the lead role. Although she
knew her lines well, the idea of performing in front of the whole school made her increasingly
nervous.
Wang Lin, Li Hua’s desk mate and a naturally confident girl, had a supporting role. She noticed
Li Hua’s growing anxiety. During breaks, while others chatted happily, Li Hua would sit alone,
nervously reviewing her script.
On the day of the final rehearsal (排练), something unexpected happened. When delivering her
most important line, Li Hua’s mind went completely blank. A few students giggled ( 咯咯笑). Li
Hua’s face turned red with embarrassment, and she wished she could disappear. The teacher called
for a short break.
Upset, Li Hua rushed into the empty hallway, tears in her eyes. She thought about quitting. As
she took out her phone to message her mom, a friendly voice interrupted her. “Don’t worry, everyone
forgets lines sometimes,” said Wang Lin with a warm smile. “The most important thing is to enjoy
ourselves and tell the story well.” She then spent the next fifteen minutes practicing the lines with Li
Hua, suggesting breathing techniques and encouraging her to put more emotion into her
performance. She even shared her own experience of stage fright, which made Li feel much better.
On the night of the performance, the school hall was packed. As the opening music began, Li
Hua stood behind the curtain, her heart pounding. She took a deep breath and glanced at Wang Lin,
who gave her a reassuring smile and a thumbs-up.

5. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Eddy took his mom’s hand, and she led him into the street outside the family’s little
grocery shop in Brussels. When Eddy opened his eyes, he saw the most exciting thing in
the world—a shiny new bicycle with chunky(粗实的) black tyres.
The four-year-old insisted on learning to ride right away! With his dad steadying him,
Eddy tried to balance while pedaling as fast as he could. He wobbled(摇晃) and fell off
several times, but wouldn’t give up. Soon, he could shift his weight to turn sharp corners
and pull the brakes gently to avoid obstacles.
Eddy’s dad had been a keen cyclist in his youth, so he often took Eddy to watch local
races. One afternoon, they spotted Dad’s old racing teammate, Mark, by the finish line.
“Still got that same speed, huh?” Dad said. “I’m hoping to go fully professional next
year,” Mark added. Eddy’s eyes lit up. “I want to be a professional too,” he blurted out.
Eddy took a milk delivery job, saving every penny until he could buy his own racing
bike. Every evening, he’d ride it around the square, bending low over the handlebars(车把)
to cut through the wind.
Just after his sixteenth birthday, Eddy competed in many local races, but he never won
a single one. “Maybe try being a PE teacher instead?” Dad suggested. Seeing the look on
Eddy’s face, he quickly added, “But if cycling’s what you love, I’ll drive you to every
practice, whatever it takes.” But Eddy was determined to keep racing—he felt a talent for it,
and he wanted to be the fastest. So he signed up for another one: an 8-lap course through
town and fields.
Dad drove him to the starting point of the race. The other riders were all older and
taller. “Who’s that skinny boy? He’ll never finish!” some of the other riders laughed. Eyes
fixed on the road ahead, Eddy bit his lip, hands tightening around the handlebars.

6. 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
The afternoon sun baked the sports field. I stared at the sign-up paper for the 1.500 metres. The
word “RESERVE” shone beside my name, written in careful pencil. Only five minutes were left. I
took the pen, rubbed out the gray letters, and wrote ALLEN in bright blue ink. My heart beat louder,
my hands shook, but I felt warm inside.
Coach lifted one eyebrow. “You sure, Allen? This race eats lazy legs.” I nodded, not trusting my
voice. “The other runners stood tall beside me, all sharp calves(小腿肚) and bright shoes.
Somewhere inside, a small door opened and doubt ran through, but I pushed it back and locked it
tight with silent will: “You can do it.”
Training began at dawn. On day three my lungs burned like dry leaves. Halfway through the last
run I bent over and threw up behind the low seats. Mark, the fastest senior, handed me water and
laughed. “Enjoy the pain, rookie(新生).” I wetted my mouth, counted, the seconds I had lost, and
whispered, “Three seconds faster tomorrow, that’s all I need today and always.” I stood up and ran
again.
Numbers became my secret coach. Three seconds a day makes one minute in twenty days. I
repeated the math while tying shoes, while eating lunch, while staring at the top of the room at night.
The track turned silver under the moon; I ran round until the guard locked the door. Each footstep
was a small promise to the future me waiting at the finish line of dreams. I smiled at the moon and
kept going.
Race day finally arrived. Parents filled the front rows. I jogged to the line, shoes tapping lightly
on the red road. The speaker called our names; when he said “Allen,” my friends shouted my
nickname, “Ally-Alley-oop!” The gun sounded; we flew. Laps unfolded like pages in a book whose
ending I had not yet written but now would complete. Hope grew with every step.

A Ray of Light
Emma had never liked the old community library. Its old lights and dusty shelves made her feel
as if she were stepping into a forgotten world. Yet that rainy Thursday afternoon, she had no choice
but to go there. Her group project was due the next day, and she still needed several references that
could only be found in the library’s archive (档案) room.
As she shook off the rainwater and walked inside, she heard a low voice coming from behind the
front desk. It belonged to Mr Harris, the elderly librarian who had worked there longer than anyone
could remember. He looked pale and tired, but when he saw Emma, he forced a gentle smile. “The
archive room is open today. Just be careful — the lights have been flickering (闪烁) again.”
Emma nodded, though she felt a slight sense of unease. The library was unusually quiet, with
only the sound of the storm tapping against the windows. She headed toward the archive room and
began searching through the shelves. Minutes turned into an hour. She finally found the last book she
needed, but as she turned to leave, the lights went out completely.
A wave of darkness swallowed the room. Emma froze. She took a step forward but hit a shelf.
Panic rose in her chest. She reached for her phone, only to realize the battery had died earlier. Just
then, she heard something — a cough. A weak one. “Mr Harris?” she called.
No answer.
Then she moved slowly through the dark hallway, feeling her way along the wall. The storm
outside grew louder. After several tense moments, she spotted a faint light ahead. It was the
emergency light above the front desk.
Under it lay Mr Harris. He had collapsed (倒下) on the floor. “Sir!” Emma rushed to him. His
breathing was shallow, and his hands were icy cold. Her heart beat fast. She remembered he lived
alone and had no family nearby. She had to act quickly. But the storm had knocked out the power —
and likely the phone lines.

I’d loved hip-hop dancing since my childhood, and in high school I took classes that focused on
jazz and hip-hop. Dance was my favorite class, and I looked forward to going every day. And this
year, my senior year, was going to be the best dance class yet. Moreover, there was a showcase
performed at our high-school theater at the end of the semester.
As I headed to the studio, my friend Jessica ran up to me, her face serious. “Sarah, have you
heard?” she whispered. “We have a new teacher, Ms. Barton. And she’s… strictly ballet.”
My excitement disappeared. Ballet? I’d never taken a class in my life. A strong feeling of anxiety
formed in my stomach, but a part of me accepted the challenge. The studio I entered was
transformed. Gone was the lively energy; in its place was a nervous silence. Every other girl wore
tight black clothes and ballet shoes. Looking down at my baggy T-shirt and sports trousers, I felt like
a complete outsider. I quickly changed, but still felt awkward and out of place.
Ms. Barton stood as straight as an arrow, her serious expression making the room feel cold. At
the barre, she began calling out French terms — plié, tendu. I tried to copy the others, my
movements feeling awkward and wrong. “Grand plié,” she ordered. I bent my knees, doing my best
to copy the elegant position of the others. I thought I was doing okay, until the music suddenly
stopped. Ms. Barton’s sharp eyes were fixed on me.
“What is your name?” she asked, her voice cutting through the silence. “Sarah,” I replied, trying
to manage a smile. “Class, I want everyone to watch Miss Sarah,” she announced. My heart jumped.
Was she going to praise me? I took a deep breath and performed the grand plié again. Complete
silence. Every eye was on me.
“Now, class,” Ms. Barton’s voice rose, sharp and loud. “This is a perfect example of what NOT
to do.” My face burned as if I’d been slammed (猛烈撞击).

There’s a certain magic in running. Throughout the majority of any given race, you’re in pain.
Your lungs feel like an invisible hand is squeezing (挤压) them tight, and your muscles seem to have
burning flames wrapping around them. Yet it’s just through this tough experience that a top runner is
shaped.
My first cross-country coach told me that every race is run in three parts: first with the head,
using strategy and patience; then with the body, using experience and training; and finally with the
heart. I’ve carried this wisdom with me for hundreds of miles, but I’ll never forget the 5 km where it
was the only thing that carried me across that finish line.
It was a course I’d run many times before. This particular race marked the season’s end, and my
teammates hoped to set new personal records. Before the race, we walked the course, discussing
goals and strategy. The cloudy, cool day was perfect for racing. Completing our course walk, we
gathered at the starting line to do some last-minute stretches. The air was thick with tension. Then the
gun fired and we were off.
Instantly, I started running with my head. Weaving (穿行) between runners, I managed to work
my way up in the first 400 meters. Joining a group of my teammates, I, together with them, began to
take the lead, offering a “good job” or “keep it up” to every runner we passed.
The first mile always passed in a state of excitement. When the second mile began, I focused on
my body, breathing in through my nose and swinging my arms. Tiredness approached, but I pushed it
away. All around me, excellence was on display. Runners from other teams encouraged each other,
offering understanding pats on the back. In those moments, we felt unbeatable.
However, reality pulled me back to earth. My old friend, tiredness, settled in my muscles as I
neared the third and final mile. Sweat rolled down into my eyes. It was time to finish the race with
my heart.

Theo stood at the microphone. Silence settled over the hall. “Your word is onomatopoeia,” said
Mr. Ramirez, the announcer. I got this! Theo thought. Spelling was sort of his superpower. He wasn’t
a math or science guy, but he had a gift for spelling.
Theo’s brain fast-forwarded to the spelling bees ( 拼写比赛) ahead: first the county
championship, then the state championship, and finally the national spelling bee. “Your answer,
please, Theo?” He glanced back at Alexa, another fourth-grader, sitting on the edge of her chair. She
wanted another chance at winning. If he missed his word, she’d be back in the game. But that wasn’t
going to happen. Theo got the right spelling.
Theo’s sister, Deandra, who had also competed but missed her word, applauded with the rest of
the crowd. Mr. Ramirez presented the trophy (奖杯) to Theo. He lifted both arms into the air. “I’m
the alpha-best.” Then he raced toward his sister. “Ha!” Theo said, making the trophy dance in front
of Deandra’s nose.
She rolled her eyes. “You’re a terrible winner.”
“What’s wrong with celebrating my victory?”
Deandra crossed her arms and made a sour face. “You know, it wasn’t cool the way you ignored
Alexa onstage. She tried to shake your hand.”
Theo shrugged. “I didn’t notice. Anyway, county bee, here I come!”
“You might want to crack open the dictionary before counties. In two weeks, you’ll be facing the
best of the best.”
“And they’ll be up against me, the alpha-beast.”
Deandra shook her head. “Well, good luck. I think you’re going to need it.”
Two weeks passed in a blink. At the county bee, students from different schools gathered around
onstage, some looking more worried than others. Finally, it was time for the contestants to take their
seats.
After six rounds, the group of more than 100 students decreased to just seven. This was no
regular spelling bee. Theo had barely made it through the last round with a lucky guess on
conscience. And if he’d had to spell aerospace or conical, he’d be out already. His sister’s advice
suddenly made sense.
