四、（2025·南通市期中）完形填空。
It was a chilly autumn afternoon when I fell down during the race competition，leaving my right leg in a cast（打了石膏）. The doctor said I couldn't run for 1 months. As the leader of the track team（田径队），I felt like a bird with broken wings. Even the 200 - metre walk from the classroom to the dining room，holding the wall tightly and breathing heavily，I jumped every step with 2.
Everything changed when Ms Lin placed a pot of pothos（绿萝）on my desk. “Did you know this plant grows even in the 3?” she said softly. I saw the edges of the leaves shining with strong 4. From then on，I watered it every day. The 5 sound of water drops on the soil showed me that life keeps growing in silence. Getting better was 6 than I had thought. During my first try of running，I wanted to give up because of the pain in my leg.
Until I noticed a new tiny green 7 growing from the pothos plant，I 8 that darkness won't stop the pothos just like the pain won't stop me.
Three months later，I finally tied my running shoes again. As I ran on the track，I felt a regular 9 under my feet，thump，thump，thump—like the beating of my heart. The cool morning wind 10 the sweet smell of flowers from the school garden，making me smile for the first time in weeks. Simple small things I once didn't notice before seemed 11 to me now. When I crossed the training finishing line，my teammates cheered. Ms Lin 12 the pothos over her head. The plant's vines（藤）spread all over the frame，and its leaves reached up to the sun like a road to hope. Everyone clapped loudly.
Today，I still run，but I've learnt a deeper truth：real growth isn't about how far you run，but how 13 you rise after falling. As the pothos that grow in shadows，we all need 14 to go through darkness. Every tear，every scar，and every silent effort is preparing us to meet the 15 that waits around the next corner.

那是一个寒冷的秋日午后，我在赛跑比赛中摔倒了，右腿打上了石膏。医生说我$1$个月不能跑步。作为田径队的队长，我感觉自己就像一只折翼的鸟。甚至从教室到餐厅那$200$米的路程，我紧紧扶着墙，气喘吁吁，每一步都$2$地跳着。
当林老师把一盆绿萝放在我的桌子上时，一切都改变了。“你知道这种植物即使在$3$的地方也能生长吗？”她轻声说道。我看到叶子的边缘闪烁着强烈的$4$。从那时起，我每天都给它浇水。水滴落在土壤上的$5$声音告诉我，生命在寂静中不断成长。康复比我想象的$6$。在我第一次尝试跑步时，因为腿部的疼痛我想要放弃。
直到我注意到绿萝长出了一片新的小绿叶$7$，我$8$，黑暗不会阻止绿萝生长，就像疼痛不会阻止我一样。
三个月后，我终于又系上了跑鞋。当我在跑道上奔跑时，我感觉到脚下有规律的$9$，咚、咚、咚——就像我的心跳。凉爽的晨风$10$着学校花园里花朵的甜香，这是我几周来第一次露出笑容。我以前未曾注意到的简单小事现在对我来说似乎$11$了。当我冲过训练的终点线时，我的队友们欢呼起来。林老师把绿萝$12$过头顶。植物的藤蔓爬满了架子，它的叶子向着太阳伸展，就像一条通往希望的道路。每个人都大声鼓掌。
今天，我仍然在跑步，但我学到了一个更深的真理：真正的成长不在于你跑了多远，而在于你跌倒后能$13$地重新站起来。就像生长在阴影中的绿萝，我们都需要$14$来度过黑暗。每一滴眼泪，每一道伤疤，每一次无声的努力，都在为我们迎接下一个转角处等待着的$15$做准备。
