比赛现场 Students in the Competition
在过去的一年中，参赛的同学们每人都阅读了24本涵盖小说类、科学类和文学类等各种类型的英文书籍。比赛由两轮知识竞赛问答和决赛组成，要回答出这些题目，需要大家对阅读过的书籍有深入的了解。答题时，每个团队仅有30秒的时间进行组内头脑风暴。出题老师刚一读完问题，台上的同学们便讨论商量起来，并且快速将答案写在白板上，争先恐后地举手展示。
Over the past year, these middle school students read 24 books covering a range of genres. Students created and submitted questions, and then competed in two rounds of quiz-bowl style questions. These questions asked students to demonstrate a depth of knowledge about the books. Each team had 30 seconds to brainstorm their answer and show it on a whiteboard.

经过两轮比赛的激烈角逐，排名前五的队伍进入到最后一轮决赛环节。大家热情高涨，答题能力不分上下，甚至出现了平局，难分伯仲。参加此次比赛的清华附中国际部学生团队分别获得了第三名和第四名的好成绩。
After two rounds, the top five teams entered the final round. The competition was fierce and ultimately decided by tie-breakers. One of the THIS teams took third place, and the second team came fourth place.
