Ⅰ.阅读理解
(2024·石家庄模拟)My mother used to take me to my grandparents' in Belgium during the school holidays.While I would play chess with my grandfather, he would tell me stories about growing up, falling in love, and travelling around the world.
I didn't realize the importance of preserving memories until my grandfather passed away, which ultimately changed my outlook on remembering our loved ones and the stories we share.I thought about solutions to help other people record the precious memories for those they love — before it's too late.So I began matching ghostwriters (代笔人) to clients to help them write a book as smoothly and beautifully as possible, and StoryTerrace was born.
Since then, we have explored the power of stories and their ability to connect us with our past and make sense of the present.It has been documented that increased family connection is significantly linked to less loneliness.Learning more about one's family history, however, has been linked to boosting emotional health, increasing compassion and providing a deeper sense of cultures and traditions.
What we have found through our own research is that so many of us have missed out on the opportunity to explore our origins.56 percent of Brits agreed that much of their family history is lost because they are no longer able to speak with the person who knows the most about it.A further 51 percent expressed regret as they wished they could tell their younger self to document their family's life story, feeling that most of it had been forgotten.But when it comes to telling these stories, many don't know where to begin.
We have seen numerous times when people come to us with random journal entries and notes from over the years, and these can be developed into a wonderful work of art that can be passed down for generations to come.
Half of the projects we see at StoryTerrace are heritage stories, with family occupying a dominant theme for most stories.Alongside this, common themes we see are of course love, overcoming challenges, settling in new surroundings and so on.However, family is a thread that always ties these together.

The chain of kindness
The rain was coming down so hard that each drop seemed to explode as it hit the roof of the car.Tom looked out into the coal-black night, struggling desperately to keep his car on the road.The rain beat down continuously and the road was deserted except for Tom and his car.
Tom could see his wheelchair in the backseat from the rear-view mirror and quickly looked down at his thin, broken legs.He could feel a familiar wave of despair start to wash over him.Suddenly, a loud noise shook him out of his moment of hopelessness as the car began to bump down the road.“Great,” he thought, “a flat tyre.”
With a heavy sigh, Tom brought the car to a stop, resting his head on the steering wheel, defeated! After a few seconds, he looked up and peered out of the window.In the distance, he could see a light twinkling in the blackness.
When Tom approached the house, a young girl around ten years old was standing in the doorway.He pulled up and rolled down the window.“Are your parents at home?” he shouted over the wind and rain.“I have a flat tyre and I need help.”
“Wait a minute,” the girl replied and went into the house.A few minutes later, she returned with an old man.The girl held his arm and smiled lovingly up at him.
Tom explained the problem to the old man and added, “I need help because my legs are paralyzed.” The words came out flat.But he did not know how else he could convey the fact that he needed help from this weak old man in the middle of the rainstorm.The old man simply nodded.
The old man and the little girl concentrated on their work and the rain was soaking them.Once again, Tom couldn't help but feel he was useless.Soon the old man stepped to the window.“You're all set,” he said.Tom handed some money to the old man, but he made no move to take it.Finally, the young girl said, “Grandfather is blind.”
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Tom did not know what to say.
Inspired by the chance encounter, Tom started to see everything differently.
参考范文:
Tom did not know what to say.He just gestured towards the girl and the old man helplessly as he stumbled through an explanation that he would like to pay them for their help.The grandfather waved a hand and said,“There is no need.Just be careful about getting home and continue the chain of kindness.” Tom got back on to the road.The rain was now only a light mist, revealing the road ahead.As he drove through the night, he found himself looking forward to the journey ahead.
Inspired by the chance encounter, Tom started to see everything differently.He contacted his doctor the next day to see if he could do something to increase his mobility.Later, he pursued his long-lost dream of becoming a teacher and reconnected with his family.Perhaps Tom was disabled in one way, but he decided that he would not let this define who he was or what he could accomplish.Most importantly, he began to look forward to each new day and view it as an opportunity to help others so that he could continue the chain of kindness.
