（二）（2025·苏州）〔核心素养—思维品质〕
Light rain continued to fall as I arrived at the mountain village. With a heavy bag on my back, I was excited to teach at a small school here, but a little _1_. What would these students be like?
The school had only 18 students. Most were quiet, _2_ they ran and laughed at break. One girl, Wen, always sat alone in the corner, seldom saying anything. On my first day in the classroom, I shared with them a _3_ with the words “You are seen” on it and some spoke quietly. “That's why I'm here,” I said. However, Wen didn't _4_. She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.
Days passed quickly. The lessons were _5_ planned. The children were kind. But my effort seemed to make little difference. I was not sure if I was doing anything _6_.
One night, a heavy storm caused a power cut, leaving the classroom in darkness. As everyone was frozen, a soft light appeared. It was Wen who was holding a _7_ in her hand. “We can still read,” she whispered. That was the first time I heard her voice.
The next day, she sat _8_. In the following days, she began to talk more. In my last class, she came up and gave me the lantern. “So you will always have some _9_,” she smiled gently.
I came to give light, but found it was quietly _10_. Volunteering isn't always loud or big. Sometimes, it's a quiet lantern—shared between the two, and shining in both directions.

2. A 解析：根据句意可知，though 符合语境，引导让步状语从句。
3. B 解析：根据 put it up on the wall 可知，贴在墙上的应该是海报。
4. D 解析：根据下文“She was just drawing circles on the desk with her finger.”可知，她只是用手指在书桌上画着圆圈，并没有抬起头来看。
