Keen visitors can discover the tricks of the trade for themselves with a guided taster class in ice sculpting at Cardiff’s Ice Academy. The Academy offers workshops for clients who wish to create their own ice sculpture for a special event.(曾经欣赏过冰雕的细节之美，并想知道它们是如何做成的？热心的游客可以在卡迪夫冰学院的冰雕品尝课上亲自探索这一行业的窍门。学院为希望在特殊活动中创作自己的冰雕的客户提供讲习班)”可知，如果你对制作冰雕感兴趣，可以去Torfaen。故选B。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Curling部分中“For solo players, senior groups offer special curling cues (球杆) for those with bad backs and rubber ice-gripping shoes for those less certain on their feet.(对于单打选手，高年级团体为那些背部不好的人提供特殊的冰壶球杆，为那些脚不太稳的人提供橡胶防冰鞋)”可知，冰壶为有特殊需要的运动员提供装备。故选D。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“More adventurous guests can also opt for an overnight experience using state-of-the-art night vision goggles (护目镜) to take in the splendid surroundings of Scotland’s most remote forests.(更喜欢冒险的客人还可以选择使用最先进的夜视镜来体验苏格兰最偏远森林的壮丽环境)”可知，游客在雪橇犬中心可以欣赏偏远森林的美景。故选D。 B Kris Bowers, a musician and award-winning film composer, grew up playing the piano through Los Angeles Unified’s music program. But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who cared for the instruments that brought him — and so many other students — joy and emotional support over the years. The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A. storehouse since 1959. For Bowers, making the film was a full circle moment. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’ primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says. Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.A. and maybe even United States history. Dana Atkinson, who works in the strings division, shares his story. Paty Moreno, the only woman technician in the shop, talks about her journey moving to the U. S. from Mexico and raising her children here — her job in the repair shop helped her maintain some stability, she says. Duane Michaels fixes the woodwind instruments and talks about his time on tour with the great rock singer Elvis in the past. Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city. “Having that deep love for this city and having accidentally discovered this music repair shop and this program make me extremely proud of the city,” Bowers says. The film has already brought attention to the repair shop. There is now a $15 million fundraising effort set up by the LAUSD Education Foundation to help keep the program running and invest in future instrument technicians. 4. What does The Last Repair Shop focus on? A. The development of a repair shop. B. The stories of instrument technicians. C. Bowers’ journey to become a musician. D. Bowers’ struggle to support piano players. 5. Why was Steve Bagmanyan included in the film? A. He instructed Bowers to be a composer. B. He was skilled at adjusting instruments. C. He played a role in Bowers’ musical career. D. He had an influence on Bowers academically. 6. What does Bowers say about directing the documentary? A. It was a challenging task. B. It was a brave decision. C. It was a rewarding experience. D. It was a painful process. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a repair shop. B. To honor a famous director. C. To promote a music program. D. To introduce a documentary. 【答案】4. B 5. C 6. C 7. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道。文章报道了音乐家Kris Bowers通过纪录片《最后的修理店》让人们关注到了为学生免费修理乐器的技术人员和他们的故事，同时该片也引起了公众对这一项目的关注和支持。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130, 000 student instruments for free (鲍尔斯参与导演的纪录片《最后的维修店》将焦点放在了那些定期免费修理13万多件学生乐器的技术人员上)”可知，纪录片《最后的维修店》聚焦于那些免费为学生修理乐器的技术人员。故选B项。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’ primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says.(他了解了Steve Bagmanyan的工作，Bagmanyan是Bowers小学和中学的钢琴调音师。Bowers说：“我能够感谢那些在我成为音乐家的过程中伸出援手的人”)”可知，Steve Bagmanyan是Bowers小学和中学调试钢琴的技术人员，对他的音乐生涯产生了影响，因此被包括在电影中。所以，Steve Bagmanyan在Bowers的音乐生涯中扮演了重要角色，所以他会出现在电影中。故选C项。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段中“Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city.(导演这部纪录片让鲍尔斯有机会将他对音乐的热爱与他的城市结合起来)”可知，Bowers认为执导这部纪录片将他对音乐和城市的热爱融合在一起，是一次有意义的经历。故选C项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A. storehouse since 1959.(由鲍尔斯联合执导的纪录片《最后的修理店》将焦点放在了那些定期免费修理超过13万件学生乐器的技术人员上——这项工作自1959年以来一直在洛杉矶市中心的一个仓库里进行)”和下文内容可知，本文主要介绍了一部由Kris Bowers联合执导的纪录片《最后的修理店》，这部纪录片关注那些为学生免费修理乐器的技术人员。因此，本文的目的是介绍一部纪录片。故选D项。 C Consumers’ love for avocados (牛油果) in the USA seems to know no bounds. From 2001 through 2020, consumption of this fruit rich in healthy fats tripled nationwide, rising to over 8 pounds per person yearly. On average, 90% of those avocados are grown in the southwest Mexican state of Michoacán. As with other foods that have become trendy; such as acai berries, intensive avocado production is causing significant environmental damage. Michoacán is the only place on earth that grows avocados year-round, thanks to its mild climate, abundant rainfall and deep volcanic soils. Even so, however, monocultures are never environmentally sustainable. Introducing single, high-yielding plant varieties leads growers to quit native crops. This makes the local ecosystem easily harmed by threats such as pest attacks and reduces food options. It also destroys soils and increases use of agrochemicals. Monoculture also can cause deforestation. Mexican officials estimate that avocado production spurred the clearance of 2,900 to 24,700 acres of forests per year from 2010 through 2020. And it’s resource-intensive: Avocado trees consume four to five times more water than Michoacán's native pines, damaging water resources for human consumption. Today, avocados are one of the most-regulated exports from Mexico. However, these rules do little to address the industry’s environmental impacts. Farmers in Michoacán continue to clear woodlands, spray agrochemicals, and exhaust aquifers (蓄水层). U. S. Ambassador promised that the U. S. would block imports of avocados. However, this won’t restore local ecosystems. As I see it, expecting small-scale growers to protect the environment puts responsibility in the wrong place. And refusing to import Mexican avocados likely would simply lead growers to look for other markets. In my view, importing avocados from different areas of Mexico and the world to reduce the single market share may be the most effective environmental protection strategy. In 2022, the USDA approved imports of avocados grown in the Mexican state of Jalisco. This is a start, but Jalisco will follow Michoacán’s lead unless the U. S. finds more sources and develops more avocado sorts. 8. What is a result of monocultures? A. Improvement to soil quality. B. Resistance to pest attacks. C. Abandoned field of local plants. D. Pollution of water resources. 9. What does the underlined word “spurred” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Drove. B. Held back. C. Ended. D. Depended on. 10. Which of the following does the author agree with? A. Making stricter rules on avocado exports. B. Calling on growers to look for other markets. C. Increasing agrochemical use for higher output. D. Buying avocados from more areas and countries. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Avocados: A Green Choice? B. The Benefits of Avocado Exports C. The Process of Avocado Production D. Avocado Planting: A Worldwide Trend? 【答案】8 C 9. A 10. D 11. A 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。牛油果已经成为潮流食物，但牛油果实际上并不是“绿色水果”，其生产正在造成严重的环境破坏。文章对此进行了说明介绍。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段第三句“Introducing single, high-yielding plant varieties leads growers to quit native crops.(引进单一、高产的植物品种导致种植者放弃种植本地作物。)”可知，单一栽培的结果是当地植物的废弃田地。故选C。 【9题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段第六句“Monoculture also can cause deforestation.(单一栽培也会导致森林砍伐。)”可知，此处是指牛油果的生产会加速森林砍伐，所以spurred意为“加速，促使”。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句“In my view, importing avocados from different areas of Mexico and the world to reduce the single market share may be the most effective environmental protection strategy.(在我看来，从墨西哥和世界各地进口牛油果以减少单一市场份额可能是最有效的环保策略。)”可知，作者会认同从更多地区和国家购买牛油果。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段最后一句“As with other foods that have become trendy; such as acai berries, intensive avocado production is causing significant environmental damage.(就像其他已经成为潮流的食物一样，比如巴西莓，密集的牛油果生产正在造成严重的环境破坏。)”可知，文章主要是讲牛油果实际上并不是“绿色水果”，其生产正在造成严重的环境破坏。故选A。 D If you’ve ever been pleasant to a rude customer while waiting tables, or smilingly received a truly ugly sweater as a gift, you’ve participated in a display rule. This is hiding a negative emotion usually to promote harmony between two individuals. However, they can have negative consequences for the person suppressing a negative emotion or opinion. As daily interactions become increasingly virtual, display rules are changing. A group of researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan set out to answer the questions of how emojis are used to reflect emotions in different contexts, if the same display rules apply to emojis, and how they affect a person’s well being. The study observed 1,289 participants who use Simeji, the most-downloaded emoji keyboard in Japan, and how the emojis were used to either express an emotion or mask it. The participants answered questions about their subjective well being, and rated how often they use emojis. They were also given messages with different social contexts and asked to respond to them as they would normally, and then rated the intensity of the expression of their emotions. The study found that texters chose to express more emotions via emoji with people in a private context or with a close friend. The respondents expressed the least amount of emotion with higher-status individuals. The most intense expressions of emotion came with matching emojis, unless the respondents felt the need to mask their true feelings, such as using a smiling emoji to mask sadness. Only when negative feelings were very strongly felt did the respondents use a negative emoji. Additionally, using emojis to express emotions was associated with higher subjective well being compared to masking emotions. The researchers would like to expand this study with a larger and more varied sample, including more males since the Simeji keyboard is more popular among young women and from different cultural backgrounds. “First, the highly gender-imbalanced sample may have led to stronger results. Future research should explore potential gender differences in emoji display rules,” said a researcher. “Second, Japanese culture’s emphasis on interpersonal harmony and concealment (隐瞒) of negative emotions may have influenced the results.” 12. Why do people apply display rules? A. To keep the peace. B. To make more friends. C. To avoid being hurt. D. To create a good impression. 13. What is paragraph 3 mainly about? A. The research findings. B. The research process. C. The research subjects. D. The research purpose. 14. What did the study find about the participants’ use of emojis? A. It was influenced by different contexts. B. It promoted interpersonal relationships. C. It improved their subjective well being. D. It was a way of masking their true feelings. 15. Why do the researchers want to expand the study? A. To make it known to more people. B. To achieve more convincing results. C. To benefit people from different cultures. D. To explore gender differences in emoji use. 【答案】12. A 13. B 14. A 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了一项关于表情符号使用与情感表达的研究。研究探讨了在不同社交情境下，人们如何使用表情符号来反映或隐藏情绪，以及这种行为如何影响个人的幸福感。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“This is hiding a negative emotion usually to promote harmony between two individuals.(这通常是隐藏负面情绪以促进两个人之间的和谐)”可知，人们应用展示规则是为了保持和谐，即维持和平。故选A项。 【13题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第三段“The study observed 1,289 participants who use Simeji, the most-downloaded emoji keyboard in Japan, and how the emojis were used to either express an emotion or mask it. The participants answered questions about their subjective well being, and rated how often they use emojis. They were also given messages with different social contexts and asked to respond to them as they would normally, and then rated the intensity of the expression of their emotions(该研究观察了1289名使用Simeji（日本下载量最大的表情键盘）的参与者，以及他们如何使用表情符号来表达或掩饰情绪。参与者回答了有关主观幸福感的问题，并评价了他们使用表情符号的频率。他们还收到了不同社交背景下的信息，并被要求像平常一样回应，然后评价他们情绪表达的强度)”可知，第三段主要讲述了研究的观察对象、参与者回答的问题、评级的内容等，详细介绍了研究的过程。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The study found that texters chose to express more emotions via emoji with people in a private context or with a close friend. The respondents expressed the least amount of emotion with higher-status individuals.(研究发现，发短信的人选择在私人场合或与亲密朋友通过表情符号表达更多的情感。受访者对地位较高的人表达的情感最少)”可知，参与者使用表情符号受到不同情境的影响。故选A项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“First, the highly gender-imbalanced sample. may have led to stronger results. Future research should explore potential gender differences in emoji display rules, said a researcher. “Second, Japanese culture’s emphasis on interpersonal harmony and concealment(隐瞒) of negative emotions may have influenced the results.”(首先，高度性别失衡的样本可能导致了更强烈的结果。一位研究者表示，未来的研究应该探讨在表情符号显示规则上潜在的性别差异。“其次，日本文化对人际和谐和隐瞒负面情绪的重视可能影响了结果)” 可知，研究人员想要扩大研究是因为当前研究存在样本性别不平衡、文化影响等问题，可能导致结果不够准确，扩大研究是为了获得更有说服力的结果。故选B项。 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Fating junk food can have a significant impact on one's health.

A retired engineer、76-year-old Wilson had been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since no first had started volunteering his car to the young people. Wilson had covered an astonishing 64,000 miles, and had countless pleasant and often humorous conversation with the students he transported to and from school. The students who he'd driven had go ne on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they'd also got out of their time in school was finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even called him “Grandpa”. Tina Stern received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free transportation. “It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on.” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll check on those things.” Wilson often went beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they had problems with registration, Wilson was there to assist them. If they ran out of certain daily necessities, Wilson would drive to the nearest store and purchase what was needed. For many students, riding with Wilson had allowed them to complete their education—but according to Wilson, he benefited just as much from the experience. “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It's such a privilege to be a part of these kids' lives, getting to know them-and hearing their stories." One day, Stern came across Wilson and his wife in the hospital, where she knew Wilson was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease(阿尔兹海默症). 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。 “He isn't what he used to be,” his wife told Stem. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stern and other students volunteered to help Wilson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】“He isn't what he used to be,” his wife told Stern. "He's still the same kind and caring man, but the disease has taken a toll on his memory." Stern felt a deep sense of sadness and gratitude mingling within her. She couldn't imagine the man who had been such a constant and supportive presence in her life struggling with his own. “I wish there was something I could do,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. Stern and other students volunteered to help Wilson. They organized a schedule to visit him regularly, bringing him homemade meals, reading to him, and sharing stories of their lives since college. They also helped with his medical appointments and errands, ensuring that he and his wife were not alone during this challenging time. It was their way of giving back to the man who had given so much to them. "We're here for you, Grandpa," they would say, echoing the warmth and care he had once shown them. The bond between Wilson and his "adopted" students had become a two-way street of love and support, a testament to the enduring impact of his selfless acts. 【解析】 【导语】本文以事件为线索展开，讲述了退休工程师Paul Wilson过去八年为低收入大学生提供免费乘车服务，成为他们的榜样和朋友，后来Wilson被诊断出患有阿尔兹海默症。 【详解】段落续写： 由第一段首句内容“‘他不再是过去的他了，’他的妻子告诉Stern。”可知，第一段可描写Stern得知Wilson患病后的感受和想法。 由第二段首句内容“Stern和其他学生自愿帮助Wilson。”可知，第二段可描写学生们帮助Wilson的具体行动。 续写线索：妻子告知病情——Stern感到悲伤和感激——学生们组织帮助——定期探望——提供帮助——表达关怀 词汇激活 行为类 遭受折磨：suffer from/be afflicted with 组织：organize/arrange 确保：ensure/make sure 情绪类 悲伤：sadness/grief 感激：gratitude/appreciation 【点睛】[高分句型1].

B Kris Bowers, a musician and award-winning film composer, grew up playing the piano through Los Angeles Unified’s music program. But it was only a few years ago that he learned about the people who cared for the instruments that brought him — and so many other students — joy and emotional support over the years. The documentary The Last Repair Shop, co-directed by Bowers, puts the spotlight on those technicians who regularly repair more than 130,000 student instruments for free — work that has been taking place in a downtown L.A. storehouse since 1959. For Bowers making the film was a full circle moment. He learned about the work of Steve Bagmanyan, a technician who tuned the pianos in Bowers’ primary and middle schools. “I was able to thank someone who had a hand in my progress as a musician,” Bowers says. Besides Bagmanyan, who is one of four workers, each personal story intersects (交织) with a piece of L.A. and maybe even United States history. Dana Atkinson, who works in the strings division, shares his story. Paty Moreno, the only woman technician in the shop, talks about her journey moving to the U. S. from Mexico and raising her children here — her job in the repair shop helped her maintain some stability, she says. Duane Michaels fixes the woodwind instruments and talks about his time on tour with the great rock singer Elvis in the past. Directing the documentary gave Bowers a chance to mix his love for music and his city. “Having that deep love for this city and having accidentally discovered this music repair shop and this program make me extremely proud of the city,” Bowers says. The film has already brought attention to the repair shop. There is now a $15 million fundraising effort set up by the LAUSD Education Foundation to help keep the program running and invest in future instrument technicians. 4. What does The Last Repair Shop focus on? A The development of a repair shop. B. The stories of instrument technicians. C. Bowers’ journey to become a musician. D. Bowers’ struggle to support piano players. 5. Why was Steve Bagmanyan included in the film? A. He instructed Bowers to be a composer. B. He was skilled at adjusting instruments. C. He played a role in Bowers’ musical career. D. He had an influence on Bowers academically. 6. What does Bowers say about directing the documentary? A. It was a challenging task. B. It was a brave decision. C. It was a rewarding experience. D. It was a painful process. 7. What is the purpose of the text? A. To advertise a repair shop. B. To honor a famous director. C. To promote a music program. D. To introduce a documentary. C Consumers’ love for avocados (牛油果) in the USA seems to know no bounds. From 2001 through 2020, consumption of this fruit rich in healthy fats tripled nationwide, rising to over 8 pounds per person yearly. On average, 90% of those avocados are grown in the southwest Mexican state of Michoacán. As with other foods that have become trendy; such as acai berries, intensive avocado production is causing significant environmental damage. Michoacán is the only place on earth that grows avocados year-round, thanks to its mild climate, abundant rainfall and deep volcanic soils. Even so, however, monocultures are never environmentally sustainable. Introducing single, high-yielding plant varieties leads growers to quit native crops. This makes the local ecosystem easily harmed by threats such as pest attacks and reduces food options. It also destroys soils and increases use of agrochemicals. Monoculture also can cause deforestation. Mexican officials estimate that avocado production spurred the clearance of 2,900 to 24,700 acres of forests per year from 2010 through 2020. And it’s resource-intensive: Avocado trees consume four to five times more water than Michoacán's native pines, damaging water resources for human consumption. Today, avocados are one of the most-regulated exports from Mexico. However, these rules do little to address the industry’s environmental impacts. Farmers in Michoacán continue to clear woodlands, spray agrochemicals, and exhaust aquifers (蓄水层). U. S. Ambassador promised that the U. S. would block imports of avocados. However, this won’t restore local ecosystems. As I see it, expecting small-scale growers to protect the environment puts responsibility in the wrong place. And refusing to import Mexican avocados likely would simply lead growers to look for other markets. In my view, importing avocados from different areas of Mexico and the world to reduce the single market share may be the most effective environmental protection strategy. In 2022, the USDA approved imports of avocados grown in the Mexican state of Jalisco. This is a start, but Jalisco will follow Michoacán’s lead unless the U. S. finds more sources and develops more avocado sorts. 8. What is a result of monocultures? A. Improvement to soil quality. B. Resistance to pest attacks. C. Abandoned field of local plants. D. Pollution of water resources. 9. What does the underlined word “spurred” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Drove. B. Held back. C. Ended. D. Depended on. 10. Which of the following does the author agree with? A. Making stricter rules on avocado exports. B. Calling on growers to look for other markets. C. Increasing agrochemical use for higher output. D. Buying avocados from more areas and countries. 11. What is the best title for the text? A. Avocados: A Green Choice? B. The Benefits of Avocado Exports C. The Process of Avocado Production D. Avocado Planting: A Worldwide Trend? D If you’ve ever been pleasant to a rude customer while waiting tables, or smilingly received a truly ugly sweater as a gift, you’ve participated in a display rule. This is hiding a negative emotion usually to promote harmony between two individuals. However, they can have negative consequences for the person suppressing a negative emotion or opinion. As daily interactions become increasingly virtual, display rules are changing. A group of researchers from the University of Tokyo in Japan set out to answer the questions of how emojis are used to reflect emotions in different contexts, if the same display rules apply to emojis, and how they affect a person’s well being. The study observed 1,289 participants who use Simeji, the most-downloaded emoji keyboard in Japan, and how the emojis were used to either express an emotion or mask it. The participants answered questions about their subjective well being, and rated how often they use emojis. They were also given messages with different social contexts and asked to respond to them as they would normally, and then rated the intensity of the expression of their emotions. The study found that texters chose to express more emotions via emoji with people in a private context or with a close friend. The respondents expressed the least amount of emotion with higher-status individuals. The most intense expressions of emotion came with matching emojis, unless the respondents felt the need to mask their true feelings, such as using a smiling emoji to mask sadness. Only when negative feelings were very strongly felt did the respondents use a negative emoji. Additionally, using emojis to express emotions was associated with higher subjective well being compared to masking emotions. The researchers would like to expand this study with a larger and more varied sample, including more males since the Simeji keyboard is more popular among young women and from different cultural backgrounds. “First, the highly gender-imbalanced sample may have led to stronger results. Future research should explore potential gender differences in emoji display rules,” said a researcher. “Second, Japanese culture’s emphasis on interpersonal harmony and concealment (隐瞒) of negative emotions may have influenced the results.” 12.

It was influenced by different contexts. B. It promoted interpersonal relationships. C. It improved their subjective well being. D. It was a way of masking their true feelings. 15. Why do the researchers want to expand the study? A. To make it known to more people. B. To achieve more convincing results. C. To benefit people from different cultures. D.

A retired engineer、76-year-old Wilson had been offering free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since no first had started volunteering his car to the young people. Wilson had covered an astonishing 64,000 miles, and had countless pleasant and often humorous conversation with the students he transported to and from school. The students who he'd driven had go ne on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they'd also got out of their time in school was finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students even called him “Grandpa”. Tina Stern received rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free transportation. “It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in awkward silence or with your headphones on.” Stern said. “He asks you questions and actually remembers the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll check on those things.” Wilson often went beyond to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they had problems with registration, Wilson was there to assist them. If they ran out of certain daily necessities, Wilson would drive to the nearest store and purchase what was needed. For many students, riding with Wilson had allowed them to complete their education—but according to Wilson, he benefited just as much from the experience. “I just love driving, and I love these kids,” Wilson said. “It's such a privilege to be a part of these kids' lives, getting to know them-and hearing their stories." One day, Stern came across Wilson and his wife in the hospital, where she knew Wilson was diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease(阿尔兹海默症). 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。 “He isn't what he used to be,” his wife told Stem. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Stern and other students volunteered to help Wilson. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
