It was a perfect day for the beach. My brother and I were meeting our friends on the northeast side of the island, a beach we seldom visited due to the strong currents.Dad dropped us off an hour before everyone was to arrive. I watched my brother take off into the blue ocean. He was a body surfing enthusiast. I decided not to wait for our friends either because the water began to rise, forming a perfect wave.I held my breath and dove through the wave. I was under the surf, with my eyes wide open, the water like silk flowing over my body. It was cold, like liquid ice waking up my senses. I pulled my body to the surface, allowing fresh air to fill my lungs, and then went back under. I pretended to be a fish, a dolphin, anything that lived under the sea.After a while, I thought it might be a good idea to head back in and see if our friends had arrived. I looked toward the beach and realized I had gone farther out than I should have. I was the only one this far out.I was not too worried though. I was a pretty good swimmer. But, as I tried to swim in, I realized I was making no progress. After what felt like a long while, my body began to feel heavy, and my arms grew tired. However hard I tried to swim, I was not moving any closer to the beach. Worn out, terrified and desperate, I cried for help loudly.I began to think I might drown out there.A moment later, I regained my consciousness.One possible version:
I began to think I might drown out there. Just then a stranger appeared in front of me. With the last hope, I gathered all my strength to cry out “Help” but suddenly a huge wave hit me and drowned my cry. I choked on a big swallow of salty water and felt terrible. Fortunately, my angel was swiftly approaching me and then held me tightly with his strong arm. My basic knowledge reminded me to stay relaxed before I fell into a world of darkness.A moment later, I regained my consciousness, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the man who saved my life. But he was gone. My relatives and friends were so concerned about my safety that they even didn’t notice him leave. Feeling regretful, I decided to look for him through the Internet, but in vain, made a post, adding that “Words are far from enough to convey my heartfelt thanks, my angel. Best wishes for you!", expecting him to see my heart with an increasing number of likes and shares. Although I have not seen my hero ever since, the gratitude to him will live in my heart forever.2. 中学生标准学术能力诊断性测试2024年3月测试英语试卷

She was seventeen years old and always wore a bright smile. This may not seem that unusual except that Tina suffered from cerebral palsy, a condition that left her muscles stiff and, for the most part, unmanageable. Because she had trouble speaking, it was this bright smile that reflected her true personality: A great kid. She used a walker most of the time to navigate through the crowded school hallways. A lot of times people didn’t speak to her. Why? Who knows? Maybe it was because she looked different and the rest of the students didn’t know how to approach her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met in the halls (especially boys) with a big “Hi”.The assignment was to memorize three stanzas of the poem Don’t Quit. I only made the assignment worth ten points since I figured most of my students wouldn’t do it anyway. When I was in school and a teacher assigned ten-point homework, I would probably have blown it off. So I wasn’t expecting much from today’s teenagers either. Tina was in the class, and I noticed a look on her face that was different from the normal bright smile. The look was one of worry. “Don’t worry, Tina,” I thought to myself, “it’s only ten points.”
The day the assignment came due, I went through my roster and my expectations were met, as one by one each student failed to recite the poem. “Sorry, Mr. Krause,” was the standard reply. “It’s only worth ten points anyway... right?” Finally, in frustration and half kidding, I proclaimed that the next person who didn’t recite the poem perfectly had to drop to the floor and give me ten push-ups. This was a leftover discipline technique from my days as a physical education teacher.
注意：续写词数应为 150 左右。
To my surprise, Tina was next. ___________
When she finished, a fellow student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s only worth ten points!” _______________
One possible version:
To my surprise, Tina was next. Tina used her walker to move to the front of the class and, straining to form the words, began to try to recite the poem. She made it to the end of the first stanza when she made a mistake. Before I could say a word, she threw her walker to the side, fell to the floor and started doing push-ups. I was horrified and wanted to say, “Tina, I was just kidding!” But she pulled herself back up in her walker, stood in front of the class and continued the poem. She finished all three stanzas perfectly, one of only a handful of students who did, as it turned out.When she finished, a fellow student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s only worth ten points!” Tina took her time forming the words and said, “Because I want to be like you guys normal.” Silence fell on the whole room until another student exclaimed, “Tina, we’re not normal; we’re teenagers! We get in trouble all the time.” “I know.” Tina said as a big smile spread across her face. Tina got her ten points that day. She also got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a whole lot more than ten points.

At the end of my junior year, election for student body officers caused quite an excitement among students. It appeared that Debbie would run unopposed for president. Talking among a group of dissatisfied girls, I whispered, “There must be someone who’d run against her.”Suddenly Liz focused her attention on me. “Why not you?”“Me? No way. I work after school. I can’t stay for all those meetings.”My closest friend, Linda, smiled, “Why not? Just think how great our senior year would be! You could get a real senior trip approved and get better bands for the dances.”My little group continued to ignore my protests as they imagined the wonderful changes I could make. By the end of the week, they’d gotten enough signatures to put my name on the ballot(选票).Debbie and I had very different campaign styles. Because I was always skipping around, I earned the name “Rabbit”. Signs soon appeared around campus with the slogan (口号) “Make your votes count with Rabbit!” My platform aimed for more fun and less restrictions. We wore uniforms and I advocated more free dress days and a broader interpretation of what was acceptable on regular dress days.My opponent, on the other hand, avoided any implication of silliness on her posters. Catchy slogans had no place in her serious campaign. What she offered was the opening Lawn to all students and a reformatting of the yearbook that would mix ninth through twelfth graders rather than highlight seniors in oversized photos. Gone would be the yearbook with seniors’ quotes and many exciting activities. Lowerclassmen (低年级生) loved Debbie’s idea; would-be seniors, however, were angry.My classmates supported me and were confident they could persuade enough lower classmen to vote my way. Each day I got reports of a few more of lowerclassmen coming to my side.On election day, I felt fairly confident. I was even looking forward to quitting my job and focusing on school politics.However, by the end of the day, the votes were counted and Debbie was declared the winner.That’s when I noticed my teacher Mr. Laskey, who turned to me and smiled. “Congratulations!”One possible version:
However, by the end of the day, the votes were counted and Debbie was declared the winner. A friend who helped with the counting let me know I had lost by only twenty votes. The fact that I almost won made me even more depressed. All I'd been hearing for the past few weeks prepared me for the thrill of victory, not the depression of defeat. I wandered at campus aimlessly. To avoid my group or friends, I sat on the steps that led to the school library, just staring at the distance.That's when l noticed my teacher Mr. Laskey, who turned to me and smiled “Congratulations!” “No, I didn't win,” I replied. Mr. Laskey disagreed, “Yes, you did. It took great courage to compete against such a strong opponent as Debbie in the election and you made it. You won the time and freedom to do whatever you want in the future.” I bet Mr. Laskey knew what he was talking about. After that, I kept my job and took more courses at our state college while completing my high school classes. It was hard but I managed to fit everything in, which I never thought I could have accomplished before.
