“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.”
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagine lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (闪光), Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse... or snakes?” Milks asks. The students suggest making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their expected benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmosphere science at Indiana University, who has carefully watched the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not ‘I can’t do it’. It’s ‘we can do it’. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
4. What might be a purpose of Kirstin Milks’ lessons about climate change?
A. To find innovative ways to power cars.
B. To encourage students to read news critically.
C. To make science basics more accessible to students.
D. To inspire students to play their part for the society.
5. What does paragraph 5 mainly talk about?
A. Procedures of the lesson. B. The core value of creativity.
C. Potentials of different students. D. The key concept of solutions.
6. Which can best describe Kirstin Milks’ way of teaching?
A. It prioritizes practical application. B. It focuses on theoretical knowledge.
C. It encourages creative problem-solving. D. It highlights the risks of climate change.
7. Why does the author mention Ben Kravitz in the last paragraph?
A. To prove Milks’ point. B. To praise Milks’ virtue.
C. To support Milks’ practice. D. To express Milks’ hope.
C
It was 25 years ago, but I clearly remember the meeting when I drew a simple drawing of the vagus nerve (迷走神经) , showing the signals it carried from the brain to the body to turn off inflammation (炎症) .
So it is with attraction and some confusion that I observed this decades-old discovery become a new social media trend. Lots of influencers suggest you can stimulate your vagus nerve by pressing your neck, singing or jumping in cold water. On TikTok alone, the vagus nerve has gathered more than 185 million views.
But a very real distinction should be made between what influencers call vagus nerve “stimulation” and the vagus nerve-stimulating devices approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat certain illnesses. There are two vagus nerves on each side of your neck, made up of over 100, 000 fibres. Research from my lab and others shows that small, pacemaker-like (像心脏起搏器的) devices can turn on the inflammatory reflex (反射) to control the release of inflammatory proteins.
But before accepting free social media advice on this topic, I recommend checking the evidence. Scientusts are just starting to map and understand what the 100, 000 vagus nerve fibres do. So, when you are advised to stimulate your vagus nerve by taking an ice bath, you should ask: “Which of my vagus nerves?” The answer is that no one knows. In the lab, we can use specific, complicated techniques to stimulate selected vagus nerve fibres. We can force a communication flow from the brain to slow down the heart. But putting yourself in an ice bath isn’t selective. It activates lots of vagus nerve fibres, and it also activates other nerves that control your fight or flight responses.
So, sing a tune or even jump in a cold shower if your doctor say “yes”, but as you cool down and think about the decades of scientific work that started you on the journey to stimulate this powerful nerve, just recall that there is still more work—much more, in fact—to be done.
8. What does the author’s simple drawing show?
A. The popularity of social media. B. The way to stimulate inflammation.
C. The function of the vagus nerve. D. The route from the brain to the body.
9. What do we know about the vagus nerve-stimulating device?
A. It is a small pacemaker. B. It activates inflammatory reflexes.
C. It controls fight or flight responses. D. It is the same as vagus nerve stimulation.
10. How can we excite the vagus nerve in the author’s opinion?
A. By applying special techniques. B. By taking an ice bath.
C. By slowing down the heart rate. D. By selecting the vagus nerve fibre.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Ice showers are medically approved methods.
B. Social media is the main source of healthcare.
C. The vagus nerve hasn’t been fully understood yet.
D. Health advice should be regulated through social media.
D
“Why birds sing is relatively well-understood,” says Ins Adam, a behavioral scientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was: Why do birds sing so frequently?
Previous research suggests that constant singing uses a lot of energy and exposes birds to others, making them vulnerable by revealing their location and territory, which is highly dangerous. However, in a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for this risky behavior. They suggest that songbirds may need to exercise their vocal (发声的) muscles to maintain top performance in their songs.
These findings may also be relevant to human voices. Adam points out that if we apply these bird results to humans, any period of not speaking might lead to a loss in vocal performance. This insight suggests that songbirds could one day help us improve how we train and restore our own voices.
Adam assumed the muscles that produce birdsong required daily exercise, so she designed an experiment on zebra finches — small Australian songbirds. Light is what attracts the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exceptions were a few half-hour periods each day when the lights were turned on so the birds could eat and drink.
After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. Adam then tested whether this muscle loss affected the quality of the birds’ songs. Although she couldn’t hear any difference when comparing a male’s song before and after the period of darkness, a group of female birds showed a clear preference: six out of nine preferred the song from a male who had been exercising his singing muscles daily.
“This study highlights that achieving mastery in any skill requires a lot of practice,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was not involved in the research.
12. Which of the following best explains “vulnerable” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Rarely found. B. Easily targeted.
C. Directly poisoned. D. Actively defended.
13. Why are human voices mentioned in the text?
A. To illustrate Adam’s idea by comparison.
B To assess Adam’s previous work accurately.
C. To show the significance of studying birdsong.
D. To stress the distinction between human voices and birdsong.
14. What is the basis for Adam’s experiment?
A. Birds need little practice for better singing.
B. Light is a contributory factor in birds’ singing.
C. Weakening muscles result in less attractive songs.
D. Male birds produce songs to attract female birds.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Singing Invites Trouble to Birds
B. Songbirds Help Restore Human Voices
C. Vocal Muscles: the Secret of Birds’ Singing
D. Daily Singing: Essential for Birds’ Vocal Muscle Fitness
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。
Summer often encourages people to spend time in a pool, lake, or ocean. Water can be both refreshing and relaxing—and it’s also a great setting for doing a heart-healthy workout, whether that’s swimming laps or doing water aerobics (有氧运动) . ___16___
Swimming is a full-body exercise that uses nearly every muscle in your body to force you forward. And because you’re horizontal (水平的) in the water, blood doesn’t pool in your lower body like it does when you’re exercising upright. ___17___ Your heart becomes more efficient, which means your heart rate is a little lower during swimming compared with other types of exercise.
Still, swimming requires a certain amount of skill. If it doesn’t come naturally to you, water aerobics can be a good alternative. ___18___ The simplest version is pool walking or jogging done in water that’s at least waist-deep. Added resistance translates to extra calorie burn compared with land-based exercise. For example, a 150-pound person burns about 250 calories jogging for 30 minutes on land. ___19___ You can also do other moves like jumping jacks (开合跳) for a do-it-yourself water workout.
___20___ Water treatment features one-on-one exercises with a doctor for a number of sessions. Doing gentle exercise while staying in water takes stress off your joints and the water’s warm temperature has a positive effect.
A. Water can be an ideal setting for people with injuries.
B. But jogging in water for 30 minutes burns about 350 calories.
C. In fact, water-based exercise offers several unique advantages.
D. Doing water aerobics also targets the heart and muscles together.
E. The conditions doctors treat include balance problems and body pains.
F. That increases blood flow toward the centre of your body and your heart.
G. Moving your body through water provides far more resistance than through air.

She lowered herself with the only light from her flashlight and searched for any ___29___ sound. Around midnight, staffers from the local SPCA, an animal protection organisation, arrived and ____30____ Clemens in the drain.
They searched end to end, side to side. ____31____, at about 3 am, they found a tiny black puppy.

The hazy ___37___ (reflect) of the sunlight off the leaf creates a clear texture (纹理) reminding people ___38___ the Impressionists' approach to light and shadow, yet the stillness of the colours and the lines is altogether Eastern in its charm.
The painting, Autumn Haze, is the work of Lin Fengmian, one of the ___39___ (master) of 20th century art. Featured alongside other works by Lin and his student Wu Guanzhong as part of a recent special exhibition at the China Art Museum in Shanghai, it seemed to pose a question: Is it possible to redefine what makes a painting, especially a landscape painting. “Chinese” ? Lin, ___40___ was born in 1900, thought the answer ___41___ (lie) neither in looking back at traditional landscape paintings nor in the complete acceptance of Western art, ___42___ rather in the integration (融合) of East and West. Lin believed that Chinese art should combine the forms of expression in the West and the ___43___ (emotion) needs of Eastern art.
Lin also argued that basic art training should take nature as its subject and apply scientific methods to reproduce objects ___44___ (correct) as the basis for creation. To that end, he asked his students to be among nature and draw there. Such practice was meant not to force them to make naturalistic art but to allow artists unrestricted creativity as they tried ____45____ (grasp) the essence (本质) of things.

Everything changed for me when I entered high school. Among 790 freshmen, I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. My elder brother was a senior and was making decisions about his future in college. My little brother didn’t want anything to do with me. My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. “They all fit in.” I thought.
The comfort came—my mom was there waiting for my coming back. I was about to run towards her, hug her and get the bad feelings off my chest when I heard, “Carole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean? ”
Another strike! The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. I just wanted a few warm words from her. “Mom I… ” I tried to explain my suffering but was interrupted by a telephone ring.
“One minute, Carole.” Mom walked away and answered the phone. It seemed that she was negotiating something with her editor. I saw her sitting down by her desk, nodding her head now and then, and carefully taking notes. I knew she was a great writer and mother, strict with herself and affectionate towards us. I also knew she was busy all these days, but still, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed and upset.
I went back to my room and pulled out my maths exercise. I started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. “Wrong again!” I thought. I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. The paper ball landed on the floor. By the time I finished my homework, the floor had been littered with paper balls. Out of something unknown, it gave me a kind of satisfaction to see the mess I’d made. I kicked the paper balls under the bed and left the room without tidying it up.
The next day, I came home to an empty house. I dragged myself to my bedroom as usual.
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。
When I opened the door, I was astonished to see a fairly tidy room.

“The water will turn to steam, which will power cars.”
“Yeah, that’s a really cool idea.”
This conversation is part of a lesson about technologies that reduce planet-heating pollution. It was lectured by Kirstin Milks, a science teacher at Bloomington High School.
Climate change is the story of today’s young people’s lives. But Milks says, “Our students need to know not just the stuff we hear about in the news, but also the actual difference we can make in our shared future.”
Creativity is at the core of her lesson. After students learn the basics of climate engineering, they’re asked to come up with interesting wild ideas to slow global warming. In the first round of brainstorming, students imagine lots of ways to reflect light back into the atmosphere, like covering the desert in shiny glitter (闪光), Next, students are asked to consider the potential limitations and risks to their ideas. Take glitter in the desert for example: “How are we going to make sure that the glitter doesn’t get eaten by the rock pocket mouse... or snakes?” Milks asks. The students suggest making the glitter large and smooth enough so it won’t be eaten by animals or otherwise harm them. For their final assignment, students present their concepts, including their expected benefits and risks.
Ben Kravitz, an assistant professor of earth and atmosphere science at Indiana University, who has carefully watched the whole lesson, says, “The neat thing about seeing all of these ideas come out of the classroom is it’s not ‘I can’t do it’. It’s ‘we can do it’. Humans, when they get together, can do amazing things. And that’s what gives me hope.”
4. What might be a purpose of Kirstin Milks’ lessons about climate change?
A. To find innovative ways to power cars.
B. To encourage students to read news critically.
C. To make science basics more accessible to students.
D. To inspire students to play their part for the society.

It was 25 years ago, but I clearly remember the meeting when I drew a simple drawing of the vagus nerve (迷走神经) , showing the signals it carried from the brain to the body to turn off inflammation (炎症) .
So it is with attraction and some confusion that I observed this decades-old discovery become a new social media trend. Lots of influencers suggest you can stimulate your vagus nerve by pressing your neck, singing or jumping in cold water. On TikTok alone, the vagus nerve has gathered more than 185 million views.
But a very real distinction should be made between what influencers call vagus nerve “stimulation” and the vagus nerve-stimulating devices approved by the US Food and Drug Administration to treat certain illnesses. There are two vagus nerves on each side of your neck, made up of over 100, 000 fibres. Research from my lab and others shows that small, pacemaker-like (像心脏起搏器的) devices can turn on the inflammatory reflex (反射) to control the release of inflammatory proteins.
But before accepting free social media advice on this topic, I recommend checking the evidence. Scientusts are just starting to map and understand what the 100, 000 vagus nerve fibres do. So, when you are advised to stimulate your vagus nerve by taking an ice bath, you should ask: “Which of my vagus nerves?” The answer is that no one knows. In the lab, we can use specific, complicated techniques to stimulate selected vagus nerve fibres. We can force a communication flow from the brain to slow down the heart. But putting yourself in an ice bath isn’t selective. It activates lots of vagus nerve fibres, and it also activates other nerves that control your fight or flight responses.
So, sing a tune or even jump in a cold shower if your doctor say “yes”, but as you cool down and think about the decades of scientific work that started you on the journey to stimulate this powerful nerve, just recall that there is still more work—much more, in fact—to be done.
8. What does the author’s simple drawing show?
A. The popularity of social media. B. The way to stimulate inflammation.
C. The function of the vagus nerve. D. The route from the brain to the body.
9. What do we know about the vagus nerve-stimulating device?
A. It is a small pacemaker. B. It activates inflammatory reflexes.
C. It controls fight or flight responses. D. It is the same as vagus nerve stimulation.
10. How can we excite the vagus nerve in the author’s opinion?
A. By applying special techniques. B. By taking an ice bath.
C. By slowing down the heart rate. D. By selecting the vagus nerve fibre.
11. What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A. Ice showers are medically approved methods.
B. Social media is the main source of healthcare.
C. The vagus nerve hasn’t been fully understood yet.
D. Health advice should be regulated through social media.

“Why birds sing is relatively well-understood,” says Ins Adam, a behavioral scientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was: Why do birds sing so frequently?
Previous research suggests that constant singing uses a lot of energy and exposes birds to others, making them vulnerable by revealing their location and territory, which is highly dangerous. However, in a new study published in the journal Nature Communications, Adam and her colleagues offer a new explanation for this risky behavior. They suggest that songbirds may need to exercise their vocal (发声的) muscles to maintain top performance in their songs.
These findings may also be relevant to human voices. Adam points out that if we apply these bird results to humans, any period of not speaking might lead to a loss in vocal performance. This insight suggests that songbirds could one day help us improve how we train and restore our own voices.
Adam assumed the muscles that produce birdsong required daily exercise, so she designed an experiment on zebra finches — small Australian songbirds. Light is what attracts the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exceptions were a few half-hour periods each day when the lights were turned on so the birds could eat and drink.
After a week, the birds’ singing muscles lost half their strength. Adam then tested whether this muscle loss affected the quality of the birds’ songs. Although she couldn’t hear any difference when comparing a male’s song before and after the period of darkness, a group of female birds showed a clear preference: six out of nine preferred the song from a male who had been exercising his singing muscles daily.
“This study highlights that achieving mastery in any skill requires a lot of practice,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was not involved in the research.
12. Which of the following best explains “vulnerable” underlined in paragraph 2?
A. Rarely found. B. Easily targeted.
C. Directly poisoned. D. Actively defended.
13. Why are human voices mentioned in the text?
A. To illustrate Adam’s idea by comparison.
B. To assess Adam’s previous work accurately.
C. To show the significance of studying birdsong.
D. To stress the distinction between human voices and birdsong.
14. What is the basis for Adam’s experiment?
A. Birds need little practice for better singing.
B. Light is a contributory factor in birds’ singing.
C. Weakening muscles result in less attractive songs.
D. Male birds produce songs to attract female birds.
15. What’s the best title for the text?
A. Singing Invites Trouble to Birds
B. Songbirds Help Restore Human Voices
C. Vocal Muscles: the Secret of Birds’ Singing
D. Daily Singing: Essential for Birds’ Vocal Muscle Fitness
【答案】12. B 13. C 14. B 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家对鸟类为何频繁歌唱的新解释,即通过锻炼发声肌肉来保持歌唱的最佳表现。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据前文“Previous research suggests that constant singing uses a lot of energy and exposes birds to others(先前的研究表明,不断的歌唱会消耗大量的能量,并将鸟类暴露在其他动物面前)”可知,鸟类不断的歌唱会将鸟类暴露在其他动物面前,这让鸟类成为容易攻击的目标,所以推知vulnerable意为“容易成为目标的”,和B项意思相近。故选B项。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“These findings may also be relevant to human voices. Adam points out that if we apply these bird results to humans, any period of not speaking might lead to a loss in vocal performance. This insight suggests that songbirds could one day help us improve how we train and restore our own voices.(这些发现也可能与人类的声音有关。亚当指出,如果我们将这些鸟类的结果应用于人类,任何不说话的时期都可能导致发声能力的下降。这一见解表明,有一天鸣鸟会帮助我们改进自己的声音训练和恢复方法)”可知,如果将鸟类的研究结果应用于人类,任何不说话的时期都可能导致发声性能的丧失。这说明研究鸟鸣对人类有重要意义,因此人类声音在文本中被提及是为了展示研究鸟鸣的重要性。故选C项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Adam assumed the muscles that produce birdsong required daily exercise, so she designed an experiment on zebra finches — small Australian songbirds. Light is what attracts the birds to sing, so she prevented them from singing for a week by keeping them in the dark almost around the clock. The only exceptions were a few half-hour periods each day when the lights were turned on so the birds could eat and drink.(亚当假设产生鸟鸣的肌肉需要日常锻炼,于是她对斑胸草雀——一种小型澳大利亚鸣鸟——进行了一项实验。光吸引鸟类歌唱,所以她几乎全天候地让它们处于黑暗中,以防止它们歌唱,持续了一周。唯一的例外是每天有几个半小时的时间会开灯,这样鸟儿可以吃喝)”可知,Adam设计的实验是基于光照是吸引鸟类唱歌的因素,因此她几乎全天候地把鸟放在黑暗中,以防止它们唱歌。因此,Adam的实验基础是光照是鸟类唱歌的一个促成因素。故选B项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段““Why birds sing is relatively well-understood,” says Ins Adam, a behavioral scientist at the University of Southern Denmark. The big question for her was: Why do birds sing so frequently?(“为什么鸟类会唱歌这一点人们已经相对了解了,”南丹麦大学的行为科学家英斯·亚当(Ins Adam)说。对她来说,最大的问题是:为什么鸟儿如此频繁地歌唱?)”以及最后一段““This study highlights that achieving mastery in any skill requires a lot of practice,” says Ana Amador, a scientist at the University of Buenos Aires who was not involved in the research.(“这项研究强调了,要想在任何技能上达到精通,都需要大量的练习,”布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的科学家安娜·阿玛多尔(Ana Amador)说,她没有参与这项研究)”以及通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了鸟类每天歌唱对其发声肌肉健康的重要性,所以D项“Daily Singing: Essential for Birds’ Vocal Muscle Fitness(每日歌唱:鸟类声带肌肉健康的必要条件)”是本文最好的标题。故选D项。

Summer often encourages people to spend time in a pool, lake, or ocean. Water can be both refreshing and relaxing—and it’s also a great setting for doing a heart-healthy workout, whether that’s swimming laps or doing water aerobics (有氧运动) . ___16___
Swimming is a full-body exercise that uses nearly every muscle in your body to force you forward. And because you’re horizontal (水平的) in the water, blood doesn’t pool in your lower body like it does when you’re exercising upright. ___17___ Your heart becomes more efficient, which means your heart rate is a little lower during swimming compared with other types of exercise.
Still, swimming requires a certain amount of skill. If it doesn’t come naturally to you, water aerobics can be a good alternative. ___18___ The simplest version is pool walking or jogging done in water that’s at least waist-deep. Added resistance translates to extra calorie burn compared with land-based exercise. For example, a 150-pound person burns about 250 calories jogging for 30 minutes on land. ___19___ You can also do other moves like jumping jacks (开合跳) for a do-it-yourself water workout.
___20___ Water treatment features one-on-one exercises with a doctor for a number of sessions. Doing gentle exercise while staying in water takes stress off your joints, and the water’s warm temperature has a positive effect.
A. Water can be an ideal setting for people with injuries.
B. But jogging in water for 30 minutes burns about 350 calories.
C. In fact, water-based exercise offers several unique advantages.
D. Doing water aerobics also targets the heart and muscles together.
E. The conditions doctors treat include balance problems and body pains.
F That increases blood flow toward the centre of your body and your heart.
G. Moving your body through water provides far more resistance than through air.

【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:村里的房屋部分被雾笼罩着,白色的墙壁和黑色的屋顶在绿色的树林中显得格外显眼。分析句子结构可知,stand 与其逻辑主语their white walls and black roofs 之间是主动关系,应用其现在分词形式作宾语补足语。故填standing。
【37题详解】
考查名词。句意:阳光在树叶上的朦胧反射创造出一种清晰的纹理,让人想起印象派对光影的处理方法,但色彩和线条的静止却完全具有东方的魅力。the +名词 +of。根据句子结构可知,设空处用名词作句子的主语。故填reflection。

【42题详解】
考查连词。句意:出生于1900年的林认为,答案既不在于回顾传统山水画,也不在于完全接受西方艺术,而在于东西方的融合。根据句意,此处表达的是“这个答案不在于回看传统风景画,也不在于全然接受西方艺术,而是东西方的融合”,此空应填转折连词。故填but。

第二节(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Everything changed for me when I entered high school. Among 790 freshmen, I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. My elder brother was a senior and was making decisions about his future in college. My little brother didn’t want anything to do with me. My older sister was outgoing and never without her friends. “They all fit in.” I thought.
The comfort came—my mom was there waiting for my coming back. I was about to run towards her, hug her and get the bad feelings off my chest when I heard, “Carole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean? ”
Another strike! The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. I just wanted a few warm words from her. “Mom, I… ” I tried to explain my suffering but was interrupted by a telephone ring.
“One minute, Carole.” Mom walked away and answered the phone. It seemed that she was negotiating something with her editor. I saw her sitting down by her desk, nodding her head now and then, and carefully taking notes. I knew she was a great writer and mother, strict with herself and affectionate towards us. I also knew she was busy all these days, but still, I couldn’t help feeling disappointed and upset.
I went back to my room and pulled out my maths exercise. I started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. “Wrong again!” I thought. I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. The paper ball landed on the floor. By the time I finished my homework, the floor had been littered with paper balls. Out of something unknown, it gave me a kind of satisfaction to see the mess I’d made. I kicked the paper balls under the bed and left the room without tidying it up.
The next day I came home to an empty house. I dragged myself to my bedroom as usual.
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。
When I opened the door, I was astonished to see a fairly tidy room.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I read the note again and again, and felt a weight lifted from me.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When I opened the door, I was astonished to see a fairly tidy room. My mom had obviously cleaned it herself. Thinking of the mess I deliberately made under the bed, I hurried to my bed and bent down to take a look. To my great surprise, the floor had been cleaned as well. All the paper balls had disappeared. A mixed feeling surged through my whole body. As I stood up and froze for a while, I noticed a note lying on my desk. Picking it up, I recognized my mom’s perfect handwriting at once:“ Dear Carole, I am critical of myself, and I have found that I have also been very critical of you lately. For that, I’m truly sorry. I just expect that you are to be your sweet self. Love, Mom.”
I read the note again and again, and felt a weight lifted from me. It was replaced by something as soft and comforting as Mom’s hug. I knew Mom still loved me the same way, and she cared about me even when she was over occupied by work all the days. Tears were streaming so fast that my vision was a bit unclear. Mom had said sorry to me, and I owed her the same. When she got home, I rushed to her and couldn’t wait to tell her all I had bottled up inside. Embarrassed, I soon found my brothers standing by and looking at me smilingly. On the couch, we sat side by side, sharing all the stories and feelings as the sun set.
