At age 15, Zhao Yicheng has taken the speed climbing community by storm following his two stunning climbs of 4.68 and 4.65 seconds—unofficially faster than US athlete Sam Watson’s 4.74-second world record set at last year’s Paris Olympics.

Zhao’s record-breaking moment happened during a trial event for China’s national team on March 26. Since the event was not approved by the International Federation of Sport Climbing (IFSC), his achievement was not officially recognized. Nevertheless, evidently Zhao has emerged as one of China’s most promising speed climbers.

Born in 2009 in Suzhou, Zhao’s journey with speed climbing began at age 5, when a friend dragged him to a climbing gym. What started as a weekly hobby soon occupied his weekends. By 9, he had already won medals at multiple youth events. After winning the 2023 IFSC Youth World Championships in Seoul, South Korea, Zhao had to choose between school and sports. At that time, he was a top middle school student, but he chose to dedicate four to eight years to speed climbing to see how far he could go.

In September 2023, Zhao joined the Shanghai speed climbing team. During the 2023-24 winter camp, his times improved from 5.4 seconds to 4.99, reaching the “sub-five” milestone. He kept that strong momentum in the 2024 season, clocking 4.93 seconds to win the national speed climbing championships in September.

Zhao credits his quick progress to scientific training and active thinking. After his first winter training camp with the national team, he emerged transformed. “The team’s environment pushed me to train smarter. The nation’s best climbers are here, and every session demands your absolute best,” said Zhao. Between training sessions, Zhao reads history books, sci-fi stories, and a biography of basketball legend Kobe Bryant. When he can’t sleep, he watches climbing videos to study others’ movements. “Climbing isn’t just physical. It’s a mental game. Without active thinking, you can’t reach the top level in any sport,” Zhao said.

For now, age rules stop Zhao from competing in international events, but he sees the delay as an opportunity to improve his performance. “Next year, I’ll compete internationally in peak form to strive for honor for my country,” he told Xinhua.

24. Why were Zhao Yicheng’s record-breaking climbs not officially recognized?

A. Because the event was not admitted by the IFSC.

B. Because he was too young to qualify for world records.

C. Because his times were slower than Sam Watson’s record.

D. Because he competed in a national championship instead.

25. What can be inferred about Zhao’s decision to focus on speed climbing over school?

A. He wanted to break records immediately.

B. He prioritized his passion despite being a top student.

C. His family pressured him to pursue sports professionally.

D. He struggled academically and needed an alternative path.

26. What contribute to Zhao’s rapid improvement in speed climbing?

A. Natural talent and early training.B. Support from his school teachers.

C. International competition experience.D. Scientific training and mental discipline.

27. Which of the following can best describe Zhao Yicheng?

A. committed and ambitiousB. hardworking and creative

C. talented and self-disciplinedD. courageous and strong-willed

A Cooper’s hawk (鹰) in New Jersey has been observed using a smart urban hunting strategy—using traffic signals and parked cars as cover to hunt prey. Zoologist Vladimir Dinets first noticed the young raptor at a West Orange crossing when sending his daughter to school. Over several days, he documented its unique technique: the hawk would wait for the pedestrian crossing sound before launching attacks.

“It emerged from that small tree, flew very low above the sidewalk along the line of cars, made a sharp turn, crossed the street between the cars, and dove onto something near one of the houses,” Dinets described in Frontiers in Ethology. The targeted house had residents who frequently dined outdoors, leaving food scraps that attracted sparrows and doves—the hawk’s prey.

Cooper’s hawks are naturally stealthy forest hunters, but this individual adapted its strategies to the urban environment. Dinets conducted 18 observations that winter, noting the hawk only hunted when specific conditions were met: the pedestrian signal sounded, creating a long line of waiting cars for cover. “The probability of that happening by chance was very close to zero,” Dinets told Science Alert. On weekends without traffic or rainy days when no birds gathered, the hawk didn’t hunt.

The predator’s strategy demonstrated remarkable foresight. “The sound signal meant that the red light would last longer, so the queue of cars would provide cover for the entire approach,” Dinets explained. The hawk would fly low behind vehicles, make a 90-degree turn, and strike feeding flocks. Though Dinets rarely saw the kills, he once witnessed the hawk carrying a sparrow and another time eating a dove.

“This shows the ability to understand connections between events and to plan ahead,” Dinets said. “They have a mental map of their hunting area and know it intimately.” Few scientific observations capture such complex raptor behavior, as wild hawks are difficult to study.

Dinets emphasized the cognitive demands of urban survival: “A city is a dangerous habitat for a large raptor... they manage to thrive there, at least in part, by being very smart.”

28. Why did the hawk target the area near the house mentioned in the text?

A. Because cars parked there never moved.

B. Because the residents deliberately fed wild birds.

C. Because the trees there provided perfect hiding spots.

D. Because food remains left outside attracted smaller birds.

29. On what conditions would the hawk most probably launch attacks?

A. When cars were waiting in a line on rainy days.

B. When pedestrians crossed the road with light traffic.

C. When many birds gathered in a tree across the street.

D. When the pedestrian signals sounded on sunny weekdays.

30. What does the hawk’s specific hunting strategy suggest?

A. It cannot hunt without human assistance.

B. It uses the noise to scare prey into the open air.

C. It connects the sound signal with ideal hunting conditions.

D. It regards the pedestrian crossing sound as a signal for hunting.

31. Which of the following would be the best title of the article?

A. Hawks are forced to hunt in urban areasB. Raptors adapt hunting skills to urban settings

C. Traffic signals change hawks’ hunting strategyD. Human behavior disrupts wildlife’s living habits

A new study suggests that 20 minutes of sunlight before waking can help fight morning fatigue (疲惫), offering a potential solution for those struggling with long-term sleep insufficiency. While inadequate sleep poses health risks, simply sleeping more isn’t always practical or effective, as many still wake up tired.

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University found that pre-waking sunlight exposure may reduce fatigue, building on previous studies showing artificial dawn simulation can help. However, artificial light sources, often placed at bedside level, can lead to inconsistent exposure due to movement during sleep. A more stable alternative? Natural sunlight, which is freely available in most areas.

For those without light pollution, leaving curtains open at night allows natural dawn light to enter. Others may use motorized curtains that reopen at a set morning time. To test this approach, the researchers conducted a crossover randomized controlled trial with 19 university students (ages 20–30) who maintained regular sleep schedules.

Participants slept in a university lab furnished like a bedroom. All windows were shaded except for one facing east, making it the only source of natural light. The researchers installed light-shielding curtains on the east-facing window, plus a motorized device they could set to open the curtains at a specific time each morning. They used this setup to create three situations for participants: natural light exposure for 20 minutes before waking, natural light exposure from dawn until waking, and no natural light exposure.

Results showed that both sunlight-exposed situations improved alertness and reduced self-reported sleepiness compared to no light. However, 20 minutes of pre-waking sunlight was most effective, significantly lowering objective sleepiness (measured via brain activity) compared to the other conditions. The team suggests prolonged exposure from dawn may disrupt sleep by providing too much light too soon.

Daisuke Matsushita, a living environment design scientist involved in the study, hopes future research will optimize natural light exposure for better wakefulness, accounting for seasonal and daily variations. This could lead to more comfortable and energizing mornings.

32. Why is artificial dawn simulation sometimes ineffective in reducing morning fatigue?

A. Because it requires expensive equipment.

B. Because it cannot mimic natural sunlight accurately.

C. Because it only works in areas without light pollution.

D. Because it may be interrupted by the users’ movement.

33. The word “light-shielding” in paragraph 4 can probably be replaced by ______.

A. light-emittingB. light-blocking

C. light-reflectingD. light-absorbing

34. What can we learn about the study?

A. Only the window facing south let light in.

B. No light exposure improved sleeping quality.

C. Participants were required to sleep in three situations.

D. Two sunlight-exposed methods were equally effective.

35. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Motorized curtains can improve sleep quality.

B. People should sleep longer to fight morning fatigue.

C. Exposure to light sources is likely to solve sleep problems.

D. 20 minutes of pre-waking sunlight may reduce morning tiredness.

根据短文内容，从文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Patterns can be defined as predictable events or recurring responses to a specific situation. Our lives are often played out as a series of patterns. ____36____

Bad habits are patterns of behaviour that are deeply wired into our lifestyles because of constant repetition. These habits may include more harmless ones such as eating loudly or dumping your shoes on the floor instead of putting them in the closet; the more moderate ones include procrastination (拖延) and gossiping; and the more insidious ones such as gaming, drug, alcoholic addiction. ____37____ The adult brain can create new neurons (神经元) as well as trim and change existing neural pathways. Rewiring our brains to break patterns is possible.

____38____ Poverty comes with a host of problems and this elephant in the room cannot be ignored. There is no silver bullet to this complex problem, but thankfully, there are always rags-to-riches stories to show us it is possible and necessary to break the patterns of poverty.

Arguably, there are patterns that are beneficial to our lives such as an exercise or study routine. ____39____ However, patterns create predictable results and when we choose to keep to outdated patterns, we limit ourselves to an expected outcome. ____40____ If the study routine one has been following is not inspiring and does not help one to achieve his or her goals, isn’t it better to discard it? James Dyson, the inventor of the first bagless vacuum cleaner, made no fewer than 5,000 changes to his innovation before he got it right. If following a pattern of doing things leads us to failure and stagnation (停滞), it is better to disrupt the pattern than continue with it.

A. We need to put an end to them.

B. We should certainly keep them.

C. The cycle of poverty is a pattern that exists worldwide.

D. It sometimes results in a sacrifice of growth and creativity.

E. Breaking these patterns of behaviour is key to ending the habit.

F. It is often not easy to break a pattern that has been rooted in a person or in a system.

G. Most of us are stuck inside certain patterns, some of which are better broken than continued.

In art class, my friend Mariana and I had explored various creative techniques throughout the semester. We made clay pots, shoebox collages (拼贴画), pencil drawings, and even paintings using only small dots of paint. Each project helped us develop our artistic skills in different ways.

For our final assignment, Ms. Williams handed out special art kits. “You’ll each paint a portrait of someone important to you,” she explained. The kits contained small canvases, sets of vibrant paints, and two foam brushes (海绵刷).” Feel free to express yourself in any style you choose,” she added with an encouraging smile.

Mariana and I exchanged a knowing wink and immediately knew what we wanted to paint. As we packed our kits after class, we could barely contain our excitement. “I’m going to paint you in Leonardo da Vinci’s style,” I told Mariana as we walked to her house. She immediately struck a dramatic pose, crossing her arms and flashing an exaggerated Mona Lisa smile. “Call it Mariana Lisa,” she joked, making me laugh.

Our artistic planning was interrupted when our friend Jasmine came cycling toward us, her face glowing with excitement. “You have to come meet Ginger!” she called out. “My family just got the most adorable golden retriever puppy!”

At Jasmine’s house, we were greeted by a ball of golden energy. Ginger bounded around us, her fluffy tail wagging nonstop as she chased tennis balls across the yard. We kept playing with her until she was completely worn out, curling up in a sunny spot for a nap.

“Whenever she’s not running around or chewing whatever she can get her paws on, she’s sound asleep in dreamland,” said Jasmine. She led the way to the kitchen. “Do you have time for a snack?” “Sure!” we said.

After we munched (用力咀嚼) on some yummy snacks at the kitchen table, Mariana and I stood up to leave. But when we went to pick up our art bags by the front door, we found a big surprise!

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。

Paragraph 1:

Mariana pointed to the bags, “Something tells me Ginger might not have been sleeping this whole time!”

Paragraph 2:

We ended up having a great time making our portraits.

【原文】W: Mark, I’ve heard you will open a Mexican restaurant in town. Is it because you grew to love the food in Mexico while you worked there?

M: Yes, this is surely one of the reasons. But most importantly, I’m longing to expose the people here in my hometown to some really delicious foreign food.

W: It’s brilliant. I visited Mexico a year ago. I found many of the dishes there are very spicy and really to my taste. However, people here may not be very keen on spicy food.

M: You’re right. As far as I know, not all of the food is spicy. That’s why my restaurant will mainly offer dishes that are not spicy.

W: What about a small number of people who like spicy food?

M: Of course, I am planning to offer traditional Mexican food for the curious and the adventurous. Furthermore, I’ve invented many new dishes that combine the local dishes with Mexican traditional dishes, which is different from other Mexican restaurants.

W: That’s great. I can’t wait to try them out at your restaurant.

He has liked baseball and drawing since he was a child. Like children nowadays, school textbooks were his drawing paper. From junior high school, David knew that he wanted to be an artist who could play baseball. He chose the Art Center College of Design in California. After obtaining a degree in fine art, he went to New York, where he continued to paint his illustrations. He first painted some politically colored illustrations for New York Times, Time and Rolling Stone. Later, by chance, he drew illustrations for Julius Lester’s How Many Spots Does a Jaguar Have? This book won Newbery Medal. In 1994, David created How Georgie Radbourn Saved Baseball, which was the first book he completed independently. And it was the best picture book of the year in New York Times.

David’s dad also paints pictures for medical books, and his grandma is a designer of fashion bags. Overall, David’s mom has the greatest influence on his creation. She liked to save her son’s childhood paintings. She sent those childish pictures to David, unexpectedly inspiring him to create No, David! This picture book won him instant fame and many awards.

【答案】28. D29. D30. C31. B

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了一只库珀鹰利用交通信号和停放的车辆作为掩护，适应城市环境进行狩猎。

【28题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“The targeted house had residents who frequently dined outdoors, leaving food scraps that attracted sparrows and doves—the hawk’s prey.(这所目标房屋的居民经常在户外用餐，留下吸引麻雀和鸽子的食物残渣，而麻雀和鸽子正是鹰的猎物)”可知，鹰瞄准了房子附近的区域是因为外面留下的食物残渣吸引了较小的鸟类。故选D。

【29题详解】

细节理解题。根据第三段中“Dinets conducted 18 observations that winter, noting the hawk only hunted when specific conditions were met: the pedestrian signal sounded, creating a long line of waiting cars for cover.(Dinets在那个冬天进行了18次观察，注意到鹰只在满足特定条件时才捕猎：行人信号响起，形成一长排等待的汽车作为掩护)”以及“On weekends without traffic or rainy days when no birds gathered, the hawk didn’t hunt.(在没有交通的周末或没有鸟聚集的雨天，鹰不会捕猎)”可知，鹰最有可能在阳光明媚的工作日行人信号响起时发动攻击。故选D。

【30题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中“The predator’s strategy demonstrated remarkable foresight. “The sound signal meant that the red light would last longer, so the queue of cars would provide cover for the entire approach,” Dinets explained. The hawk would fly low behind vehicles, make a 90-degree turn, and strike feeding flocks.(捕食者的策略显示出非凡的远见。迪内茨解释说：“声音信号意味着红灯会持续更长的时间，这样排成一队的汽车就可以为整个过程提供掩护。”鹰会在车辆后面低飞，做一个90度的大转弯，袭击正在觅食的鸟群)”可知，鹰的具体狩猎策略表明它将声音信号与理想的狩猎条件联系起来。故选C。

主旨大意题。根据第一段中“A Cooper’s hawk (鹰) in New Jersey has been observed using a smart urban hunting strategy—using traffic signals and parked cars as cover to hunt prey.(在新泽西州，有人观察到一只库珀鹰使用了一种聪明的城市狩猎策略——利用交通信号和停放的车辆作为掩护来捕猎猎物)”以及最后一段中“Dinets emphasized the cognitive demands of urban survival: “A city is a dangerous habitat for a large raptor... they manage to thrive there, at least in part, by being very smart.”(Dinets强调了城市生存的认知需求：“城市对大型猛禽来说是一个危险的栖息地……它们至少在一定程度上是通过非常聪明而在那里茁壮成长的。”)”可知，文章主要讲述了一只库珀鹰适应城市环境，利用交通信号和停放的车辆作为掩护进行狩猎，这展示了猛禽对城市环境的适应能力。因此，B选项“猛禽适应城市环境的狩猎技能”最适合作文章标题。故选B。

32. Why is artificial dawn simulation sometimes ineffective in reducing morning fatigue?

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了大阪Metropolitan大学的研究，表明醒来前20分钟的阳光照射有助于对抗早晨疲劳，还说明了研究过程和结果。

【32题详解】

细节理解题。根据第二段中“Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University found that pre-waking sunlight exposure may reduce fatigue, building on previous studies showing artificial dawn simulation can help. However, artificial light sources, often placed at bedside level, can lead to inconsistent exposure due to movement during sleep.(大阪城市大学的研究人员发现，睡醒前接触阳光可能减轻疲劳感，该结论基于先前关于人工黎明模拟光照助益的研究。然而，通常放置在床头的模拟光源可能因睡眠时的翻身动作导致光照接触不规律)”可知，人工黎明模拟光源会被用户的移动打断，所以有时在减轻早晨疲劳方面会无效。故选D项。

【33题详解】

词句猜测题。根据划线词所在句“The researchers installed light-shieldingcurtains on the east-facing window, plus a motorized device they could set to open the curtains at a specific time each morning.(研究人员在朝东的窗户上安装了……窗帘，再加上一个机动装置，他们可以在每天早上的特定时间打开窗帘)”中“they could set to open the curtains at a specific time each morning”可推知，为了控制光照，研究人员安装的是阻挡光线的窗帘，然后让它在每天早上的特定时间打开。故划线词“light-shielding”的意思是“阻挡光线的”，与“light-blocking”同义。故选B项。

【34题详解】

细节理解题。根据第四段中“They used this setup to create three situations for participants: natural light exposure for 20 minutes before waking, natural light exposure from dawn until waking, and no natural light exposure.(他们用这个设置为参与者创造了三种情况：醒来前20分钟接受自然光照射、从黎明到醒来接受自然光照射以及不接受自然光照射)”可知，参与者需要在三种情况下睡觉。故选C项。

【35题详解】

主旨大意题。通读全文，结合第一段“A new study suggests that 20 minutes of sunlight before waking can help fight morning fatigue (疲惫), offering a potential solution for those struggling with long term sleep insufficiency.(一项新的研究表明，醒来前20分钟的阳光照射有助于对抗早晨疲劳，为那些长期睡眠不足的人提供了一个潜在的解决方案)”可知，本文主要介绍了一项新的研究，即醒来前20分钟的阳光照射可能会减少早晨的疲劳。故选D项。

(我们大多数人被困在特定的模式中，其中一些模式最好被打破而不是继续下去。)”中的内容与上文相承接，同时引出下文对不同模式的讨论，符合语境。故选G项。

【37题详解】

根据上文“These habits may include more harmless ones such as eating loudly or dumping your shoes on the floor instead of putting them in the closet; the more moderate ones include procrastination (拖延) and gossiping; and the more insidious ones such as gaming, drug, alcoholic addiction.”(这些习惯中，有些危害较小，比如吃饭吧唧嘴、把鞋子随手扔在地板上而不是放进鞋柜；中等程度的习惯包括拖延和八卦；而更隐蔽的恶习则有沉迷游戏、吸毒和酗酒。)可知，此处介绍了这些坏习惯的危害，结合下文“The adult brain can create new neurons (神经元) as well as trim and change existing neural pathways. Rewiring our brains to break patterns is possible. (成年大脑既能生成新的神经元，也能修剪和改变既有的神经通路。因此，重塑大脑以打破固有模式是可行的。)”可知，空处承上启下，应强调打破行为模式的作用。E选项“Breaking these patterns of behaviour is key to ending the habit. (打破这些行为模式是终结习惯的关键。)”中的“打破这些行为模式”与下文“重塑大脑以打破模式”相呼应，衔接上文对不同坏习惯的列举，符合语境。故选E项。

【38题详解】

根据空后的“Poverty comes with a host of problems and this elephant in the room cannot be ignored. There is no silver bullet to this complex problem, but thankfully, there are always rags-to-riches stories to show us it is possible and necessary to break the patterns of poverty. (贫困往往伴随一系列问题，而这个不容忽视的棘手难题始终存在。虽然没有解决这一复杂问题的万全之策，但所幸总有白手起家的励志故事向我们证明：打破贫困的固有模式不仅可能，而且必要。)”可知，本段围绕贫困循环这一模式展开。C选项“The cycle of poverty is a pattern that exists worldwide. (贫困循环是一种在世界范围内存在的模式。)”直接点明本段核心话题，符合语境。故选C项。

【39题详解】

根据上文“Arguably, there are patterns that are beneficial to our lives such as an exercise or study routine. (可以说，有些模式对我们的生活有益，例如锻炼或学习常规。)”可知，此空应说明对有益模式的态度。B选项“We should certainly keep them. (我们当然应该保留它们。)”中的“keep them与“beneficial to our lives”相呼应，符合语境。故选B项。

【40题详解】

根据上文“However, patterns create predictable results and when we choose to keep to outdated patterns, we limit ourselves to an expected outcome. (然而，模式会产生可预测的结果，当我们选择坚持过时的模式时，我们就把自己限制在预期的结果中。)”可知，此空应进一步说明坚持过时模式的负面影响。D选项“It sometimes results in a sacrifice of growth and creativity. (它有时会导致牺牲成长和创造力。)”中的“It”指代“keep to outdated patterns”(坚持过时模式)，具体阐释坚持过时模式的影响，符合语境。故选D项。

【解析】

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了音乐在医疗康复中的应用及其科学原理。

【56题详解】

考查时态。句意：但直到最近几年，科学家们才开始发现它为何有效。根据“it’s only in the last few years”可知，句子应用现在完成时，主语是scientists，助动词用have。故填have begun。

【57题详解】

考查介词。句意：当我们听音乐时，几乎大脑的每一部分都会活跃起来——从控制运动和记忆的区域到处理语言和情感的区域。from...to...是固定搭配，表示“从……到……”。故填to。

【58题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：这就像在我们脑海中燃放烟花。It’s like doing sth.是固定句型，表示“这就像做某事”，其中like是介词，后接动名词形式作宾语。故填setting。

【59题详解】

考查比较级。句意：就像健美运动员在健身房锻炼长出大肌肉一样，我们大脑的一部分用得越多，它就会变得越强。此处是“the+比较级，the+比较级”结构，表示“越……，越……”，所以空处应用比较级形式。故填stronger。

【60题详解】

考查非谓语动词。句意：现代音乐治疗师利用这一知识来锻炼大脑中受损的部分，这些部分无法通过其他方式接触。空处修饰名词parts，表示“受损的”，应用过去分词damaged作定语，表示被动和完成。故填damaged。

【61题详解】

考查形容词。句意：现代音乐治疗师利用这一知识来锻炼大脑中受损的部分，这些部分无法通过其他方式接触。空处作表语，应用形容词accessible，表示“可接近的，可进入的”。故填accessible。

【62题详解】

考查定语从句。句意：听音乐的节奏会激活大脑的运动区域，这有助于帕金森病患者活动得更自如。空处引导非限制性定语从句，修饰前面整句，关系词在从句中作主语，应用关系代词which引导。故填which。

【63题详解】

考查时态和主谓一致。句意：唱歌会激活语言区域，这被用来帮助中风患者重新学会说话。句子描述一般性事实，应用一般现在时，主语Singing是动名词，谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式。故填activates。

【64题详解】

考查连词。句意：唱歌会激活语言区域，并且被用来帮助中风患者重新学会说话。结合句意可知，前文填入的activate的适当形式与后文的is used是并列的谓语动词，应用连词and连接。故填and。

【65题详解】

考查副词。句意：通过听音乐和演奏音乐，人们可以真正地重建他们的思维结构。空处修饰动词rebuild，应用副词truly作状语，表示“真正地”。故填truly。

67. 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。

After we munched (用力咀嚼) on some yummy snacks at the kitchen table, Mariana and I stood up to leave. But when we went to pick up our art bags by the front door, we found a big surprise!

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。

Paragraph 1:

Mariana pointed to the bags, “Something tells me Ginger might not have been sleeping this whole time!”

Paragraph 2:

We ended up having a great time making our portraits.

【答案】Paragraph 1:

Mariana pointed to the bags, “Something tells me Ginger might not have been sleeping this whole time!” Sure enough, Ginger had sneakily dragged our art bags into the hallway! The canvas was crumpled and covered in tiny teeth marks. The foam brushes had been already torn into pieces, obviously beyond use. “Oh no!” gasped Jasmine, “Ginger must have woken up while we were snacking! I’m so sorry!” “It’s OK,” said Mariana, “She is way too little to know any better.” I bit my lip, imagining how we’d explain this to Ms. Williams. As if seeing through what was on my mind, Mariana grabbed my arm, “Remember what Ms. Williams said? We can paint our portraits in any style.” Her eyes landing on the kitchen table, she exclaimed, “How about using kitchen items?” “Why not?” I laughed. And we hurried back to Mariana’s house.

Paragraph 2:

We ended up having a great time making our portraits. We transformed kitchen items into painting tools-sponges created soft skin textures, forks made perfect hair lines, and the toothbrush speckled beautiful freckles across the cheeks of the portraits. Without proper brushes, we had to be more deliberate with each stroke, studying our subjects’ features more carefully than ever before. Finally, I declared, “Ta-dah! A perfect Mariana Lisa!” When we presented our portraits to Ms. Williams, she examined them closely before smiling. “These show incredible resourcefulness,” she said. “You’ve proven that real artists don’t need perfect tools-just perfect creativity.” So when life chews up your plans, sometimes you just need to grab a fork and keep painting.

【解析】

【导语】本文以作者和Mariana的艺术课经历为线索展开，讲述了她们在准备完成最后一项绘画作业时，遭遇了小插曲——她们的艺术材料被小狗Ginger破坏了。然而，她们并没有因此气馁，而是发挥创意，利用厨房用品完成了独特的肖像画，并得到了老师的赞赏。

【详解】1.段落续写：

①由第一段首句内容“Mariana指着那些包说：‘我觉得Ginger可能并没有一直都在睡觉！’”可知，第一段可描写她们发现艺术材料被破坏后的反应以及她们如何想办法解决这个问题。
