9、 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。
As the cold of winter loosened its hold and spring was approaching, I found myself in the quiet process of recovery. The world outside my window, once full of life, now seemed like a distant, unreachable place. Each day was a repetition of the last, a cycle that mirrored my own struggle to regain my strength and find hope in a future that felt dark and uncertain.
One afternoon, as I sat mindlessly by the window, a flash of movement caught my eye-a swallow (燕子) under the roof. It was a delicate creature, with its elegant wings. For a moment, it seemed to look at me, its eyes bright and curious, as if it recognized a fellow soul.
"A swallow," I whispered, looking at the lovely creature, whose liveliness formed a contrast with the silence of the room.
The swallow's daily visits became a comforting rhythm, as steady as the dawn's arrival. Each time it appeared on that branch, it wasn't just a sign of spring; it was like a friend. I found myself looking forward to its daily appearances. Its presence became a flicker (闪现) of warmth in my otherwise lifeless days.
One day, the swallow was not alone; it had been joined by a mate. Together, they began the merry work of building a nest under the roof. Inspired by their joyful spirit, I decided it was time for me to take control of my own life. I began to set small, achievable goals, mirroring the swallows' tireless work on their nest.
However, life can be unpredictable. Just when the nest was almost done, a storm blew in out of nowhere, tearing the nest apart. I watched from my window, my heart aching for the swallows and their broken dream.
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。
I was worried I would never see the beautiful creatures come back.
……
Finally, the swallows' new nest took shape.

How to boost your confidence as an introvert (内向的人)
As we all know, many introverts struggle with confidence issues. . If you are an introvert who wants to build up your confidence, take your note of these four tips.
Avoid comparing yourself with others
You need to leave all comparisons behind if you want to build confidence. Comparing yourself to others is a surefire (万全的) way to stop your progress in its tracks. . Realise that you are fueled by being alone and understand that there is nothing wrong with that. The sooner you love who you are, the sooner your confidence will develop.
Part of building confidence is how you convey your thoughts, feelings, and ideas to others. Not everyone will understand the way you express yourself, and that is okay. What is important is that you put in your best effort to express your ideas. If you need help shaping your own ideas, getting your thoughts on paper is a great way to do that.
Take small steps
Brainstorm the small things you can do to build your confidence and feel better about yourself. For instance, you could try to change your vocabulary for a more positive, confident mindset. Or you can start journaling more to get to feel more comfortable and confident about yourself..
Remember that you are your own worst critic
. This is a common problem that many people must face and it is important to remember you are not alone. Constantly criticising yourself for making small errors or not showing enough confidence is the easiest way to lose it. If you want to build your confidence level, you need to learn how to forgive yourself for making mistakes and stop self-criticising.
A.Practice clear communication
B.Instead, accept who you are as an introvert
C.Replace positive self-talk with self-criticism
D.That is why clear communication is crucial for introverts
E.As a result, they are held back from various opportunities
F.You judge yourself the hardest because you expect more out of yourself
G.Just remember: you can't expect to turn into a confident person overnight

We all notice bright colors. People who opt for striking attire (服装) and shiny decorative items, hear everything from, "No one is going to miss you at the party" to, "I would never have the guts to wear that." But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma, which means color intensity in a practical way. They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and extraverted (外向的) than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality. Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors enhanced some viewer perception on personalities, but not other traits: such as emotional stability, agreeableness, reliability, responsibility or innovation. These observations are important because some job capitalize on some of the traits (特征) inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal disposition: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality traits. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service where individuals with outgoing personalities tend to excel. Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the drawbacks of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality traits differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as varying from social norms in other cultures.
(1)、What does the underlined word "guts" mean in paragraph 1?A、Sensitivity. B、Appearance. C、Courage. D、Elegance.(2)、Which personalities are believed to relate to people wearing high-chroma colors?A、Innovation and creation. B、Openness and extraversion. C、Responsibility and reliability. D、Emotional stability and agreeableness.(3)、What does the last paragraph focus on?A、The possible limitation of the research. B、The explanation of the research methodology. C、The benefits of high-chroma colors in various jobs D、The universality of high-chroma colors across cultures.(4)、Which of the following can best describe the overall tone of the text?A、Critical and skeptical. B、Informative and objective. C、Persuasive and promotional. D、Evaluative and judgmental. -

In 2019, Coleman started taking online classes in a lesser-known language: Owens Valley Paiute. But it was not easy. Coleman is a member of the Big Pine Paiute Tribe of Owens Valley—and Paiute is his father's ancestral language.
"My dad didn't grow up speaking the language—like many families, it was forced out of use by boarding schools where speaking the language was forbidden. And there was no language-based language models (LLMs) to help me. But I'm lucky my great-grandparents sat down with scientists to document the language and to create recordings so I can hear their voices and words," said Coleman.
Chat GPT and other LLMs exhibit human-level performance on many natural-language tasks in English, because one-fifth of the world speaks English. But Paiute is regarded as a "no-resource language", meaning there are no publicly available Paiute sentences translated into English on which to train a machine learning model.
In a new paper, Coleman and his professor Krishnamachari propose a machine translation approach called LLM-RBMT (Rule-Based Machine Translation) to help people learn no-resource languages. In their method, the LLM does not translate into or from Owens Valley Paiute. Instead, it gives guidance to the rule-based translators, which rely on grammatical and vocabulary rules to translate between languages.
This method, said Coleman, mirrors how language learners naturally speak by mixing known and unknown words, making it a practical tool for real-world use. LLM's remarkable general-purpose language skills make them a promising tool in helping revitalize (复兴) critically endangered languages.
Coleman also built and maintains a suite of digital tools related to language revitalization, named Kubishi or "brain" in Paiute, including an online dictionary, and a sentence-builder and translation system enabled by this research. For his part, Coleman credits his tribe's members, past and present, for paving the path. "A lot of people in my tribe have been working for a long time on different language revitalization efforts, including classes, dictionaries, recordings," said Coleman.
(1)、How did Coleman learn Paiute initially?A、By turning to an LLM. B、By taking a course at school. C、By referring to printed documents. D、By hearing the created recordings.(2)、Why did the author mention Chat GPT?A、To indicate the progress of Al. B、To show the popularity of English. C、To recommend a language learning tool. D、To stress the challenge of developing LLM-RBMT.(3)、How does Coleman's machine translation approach work?A、It bases its performance on grammar rules. B、It helps to guide the rule-based translators. C、It corrects grammar mistakes during translation. D、It directly translates Paiute into other languages.(4)、What is the last paragraph mainly talking about?A、The cooperation between individuals. B、Coleman's talents and learning goals. C、Coleman's contributions and gratitude. D、The main task of language revitalization. -

At the "I Am Mbare" community school near Harare, the capital of Zimbabwe, over 30 children sat in neat rows in the small schoolyard. Their eyes were wide with curiosity as I unrolled my calligraphy work, displaying the Chinese characters "sheng sheng bu xi" as my encouragement for the kids to grow healthily.
I read the words aloud and explained their meaning. I was touched as the children excitedly tried to imitate (模仿) me, showing their interest in my calligraphy and the Chinese language. The small yard was filled with their enthusiasm.
This happened during a field trip I took from July 1 to 9 as part of the Tsinghua University Global Competency Overseas Practicum Course. The course sent four teams to various countries as part of a summer program in 2024, and I was selected as a member of the team visiting Zimbabwe.
This small-scale, in-depth course wants to help students to have a global vision, facilitating future people-to-people connections.
During my time in Zimbabwe, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my calligraphy talents played a significant role in cultural exchanges. One of the highlights was a forum (论坛) where we engaged in a series of activities with local artists. While my fellow team members sang Welcome to Beijing, I created four calligraphy pieces and presented these pieces on stage at the end of the song, receiving an enthusiastic response.
In addition to my performance at the forum, I devoted time each evening to creating calligraphy tailored for the people we were to visit the next day. My efforts were well-received, as the Zimbabweans' initial surprise at my calligraphy turned into delight, recognition, and gratitude after I explained the meanings to them. This gave me a sense of achievement and firsthand experience in cultural exchanges.
This experience in Zimbabwe has made me realize the power of art to bridge differences. These valuable connections will stay with me, inspiring me to continue sharing Chinese culture while remaining open to others.
(1)、How did the author feel about the children's reaction?A、Curious. B、Interested. C、Impressed. D、Grateful.(2)、What is one aim of the summer course?A、To develop students' life skills. B、To connect with other universities. C、To help students obtain a global vision. D、To do voluntary work in poor countries.(3)、What greatly helped deepen the relationship between the two countries?A、Chinese songs. B、Teaching experience. C、A sense of achievement. D、Chinese calligraphy.(4)、What might be the author's intention to write the text?A、To share an unforgettable experience. B、To call on people to care for children. C、To stress the importance of international help. D、To introduce a program of Tsinghua University. -
