Dan Mancina is a skateboarder whose jaw-dropping videos get hundreds of thousands of views. Mancina also happens to be blind, and videos of him using his white cane (手杖) as he skateboards have gained admiration from fans around the world.
“I’ve lost my vision slowly throughout my life,"Mancina said. It wasn’t until his mid-20s that his condition—an eye disease started to affect his day-to-day life, stopping him from driving and biking. The Michigan native started skating at seven, and got into it more seriously at 13, saying the sport helps him express himself. He stopped skating for a couple of years. This period, the 35-year-old said, was his “lowest point”.
However, mobility training helped him gain confidence. Slowly, he returned to doing what he loved. Mancina started filming short videos of his progress and posting them online and met a new group of people to skate with, gaining enough confidence to return to the streets. “I was just actually trying it, and then realized I was still the same person and that I could still do all the things that I love,” he said.
Now, Mancina wants to create spaces where visually impaired (视力受损的) people can enjoy the sport. “I wanted to build the first skatepark designed for visually impaired people, so I started a foundation called ‘Keep Pushing’ and have been raising money ever since for a few years now,” he said. The park, set to be built in Michigan, will use adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, to make it safe and accessible.
“To change the perception of the visually impaired, I started my social media stuff. Some people think it’s crazy for a blind people to skate. It’s not that crazy in my head. I just enjoy skating. I encourage people to think that way—don't let other people decide what you can and can't do. You know. It's all up to you,”Mancina added.
1. Which of the following best describes Mancina skateboarding?
A. Time-consuming B. Breath-taking. C. Labour-saving. D. Stress-reducing.
2. What happened to Mancina before he started skateboarding again?
A. His eye disease had been cured.
B. He lost all interest in skateboarding.
C. His story inspired many disabled people.
D. He experienced the worst moment of his life.
3. What can be learned about Mancina as he started skateboarding again?
A. He went through a lot of suffering.
B. He had a sense of belonging gradually.
C. He was very anxious about his performance.
D. He was optimistic about the spread of the sport.
4. Why does Mancina post videos of his skateboarding online?
A. To improve the image of blind people.
B. To introduce the skatepark he has built
C. To persuade more people to skateboard.
D. To raise money for the visually impaired.
【答案】1. B 2. D 3. B 4. A

【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““To change the perception of the visually impaired, I started my social media stuff. Some people think it’s crazy for a blind people to skate. It’s not that crazy in my head. I just enjoy skating. I encourage people to think that way—don't let other people decide what you can and can't do. You know. It's all up to you,”Mancina added. (“为了改变视障人士的看法,我开始了我的社交媒体项目。有些人认为盲人滑冰是疯狂的。我脑子里没那么疯狂。我只是喜欢滑冰。我鼓励人们这样想——不要让别人决定你能做什么,不能做什么。你知道的。这完全取决于你,”曼西纳补充道。)”可知,Mancina发布他玩滑板的视频是为了改善盲人的形象。故选A。

Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is how we memorize the alphabet (字母表) when we are little. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the US.
Rote memorization can be useful for test preparation, learning basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas, and when we are in the early stages of learning something new. Rote memorization has a place in our day to day lives, especially when we need to learn something new or in a quick fashion. It enables us to remember information in situations where doing so is the main thing asked of us, even if it doesn’t lead us to have a deep understanding of that information.
However, rote memorization isn’t always the solution to every problem. Information memorized through rote learning is often preserved in the short term but may be forgotten relatively quickly if not actively used. Besides, it often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may memorize facts or information without truly comprehending their meaning or how they fit into a broader context. And rote memorization tends to focus on memorizing facts and procedures, which may discourage critical thinking or problem-solving skills.
Both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important thing to remember is that rote memorization cannot stand in as a replacement for actual learning. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly.
5. What is Dr. Aldrich Chan’s attitude towards rote memorization?
A. Against. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Approving.
6. Which of the following can be best achieved through rote memorization?
A. Improving study effectiveness in all situations.
B. Applying knowledge flexibly in our daily lives.
C. Obtaining a thorough comprehension of information.
D. Memorizing information at the beginning stages of learning.
7. What is the purpose of Paragraph 3?
A. To compare different types of memorization.
B. To present the limitations of rote memorization.
C. To prove the effectiveness of rote memorization.
D. To discuss the advantages of meaningful learning.
8. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Rote Memorization: A Useful Learning Tool
B. Rote Memorizing: No Equal to Understanding
C. Rote Memorization: Way of Meaningful Learning
D. Rote Memorization: Alternative to Deep Learning
【答案】5. C 6. D 7. B 8. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了机械记忆作为学习工具的利弊,强调其在基础信息学习中的效用,同时也指出其缺乏深度理解和灵活运用知识的能力,主张结合有意义学习以促进长期记忆和知识应用。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段““Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the US.(美国佩珀代因大学教授、神经心理学家Aldrich Chan博士表示:“在某些情况下,机械记忆可能是一种有用的学习工具,但其有效性取决于所学信息的类型和应用方式。”)”可知,Aldrich Chan博士认为机械记忆可能是一种有用的学习工具,但其有效性是有局限的,由此可知,Aldrich Chan博士对于机械记忆的态度是客观的。故选C。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段“Rote memorization can be useful for test preparation, learning basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas, and when we are in the early stages of learning something new. Rote memorization has a place in our day to day lives, especially when we need to learn something new or in a quick fashion. It enables us to remember information in situations where doing so is the main thing asked of us, even if it doesn’t lead us to have a deep understanding of that information.(机械记忆对备考、学习基本事实和信息(如词汇或数学公式)以及当我们处于学习新事物的早期阶段时都很有用。机械记忆在我们的日常生活中占有一席之地,尤其是当我们需要快速学习新东西时。它使我们能够在主要要求我们记住信息的情况下记住信息,即使它不能使我们对这些信息有深入的理解)”可知,机械记忆在学习新事物的早期阶段时很有用,即通过机械记忆,在学习的最初阶段记忆信息可以达到最佳效果。故选D。
7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“However, rote memorization isn’t always the solution to every problem. Information memorized through rote learning is often preserved in the short term but may be forgotten relatively quickly if not actively used. Besides, it often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may memorize facts or information without truly comprehending their meaning or how they fit into a broader context. And rote memorization tends to focus on memorizing facts and procedures, which may discourage critical thinking or problem-solving skills.(然而,机械记忆并不总是解决所有问题的方法。通过机械记忆记住的信息通常会在短期内保存下来,但如果不积极使用,可能会相对较快地被遗忘。此外,它往往不能促进对材料的深入理解。学习者可能会在没有真正理解其含义或如何融入更广泛的环境的情况下记住事实或信息。机械记忆往往侧重于记住事实和程序,这可能会阻碍批判性思维或解决问题的技能)”可知,机械记忆具有局限性,本段的目的是介绍机械记忆的局限性。故选B。
【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段““Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the US.(美国佩珀代因大学教授、神经心理学家Aldrich Chan博士表示:“在某些情况下,机械记忆可能是一种有用的学习工具,但其有效性取决于所学信息的类型和应用方式。”)”以及文章内容可知,本文主要介绍了机械记忆作为学习工具的利弊,强调其在基础信息学习中的效用,同时也指出其缺乏深度理解和灵活运用知识的能力,主张结合有意义学习以促进长期记忆和知识应用,总体而言,机械记忆是一种有用的学习工具,所以“机械记忆:一种有用的学习工具”适合作为文章标题。故选A。
C
We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.
Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.
9. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?
A. The cultural implications of high chroma colors.
B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.
C. The connection between clothing and job suitability.
D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.
10. What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Draw on. B. Approve of. C. Subscribe to. D. Dig up.
11. Which might be a limitation of the study?
A. The culturally specific findings. B. The unmonitored research process.
C. The outdated data analysis methods. D. The relatively insufficient theoretical basis.
12. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?
A. Reserve bright colors for social events. B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed.
C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D. Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.
【答案】9. D 10. A 11. A 12. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。主要探讨了穿着鲜艳颜色对第一印象的影响,介绍了有关研究的开展以及研究的发现。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at firs1impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度).( Adam D. Pazda和Christopher A. Thorstenson(2019)研究了我们如何看待穿亮色衣服的人的第一印象。他们专门研究了色度的影响)”可知,文章中提到的研究重点是高色度色彩对第一印象的影响。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities.(进一步深入研究,他们发现高色度的颜色增强了观看者对开放性和外向性的看法,但对其他性格没有作用)”可知,上文提到研究人员发现高色度的颜色增强了观看者对开放性和外向性的看法,但对其他性格没有作用,说明一些工作职责利用了通过鲜艳的颜色推断出的一些个性。故划线词意思是“利用”draw on。故选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures.(关于他们研究结果的普遍性,Pazda和Thorstenson指出,他们研究的局限性之一是他们使用了生活在美国的参与者,这意味着他们的研究结果可能无法预测其他文化的结果)”可知,特定文化的发现可能是这项研究的局限性。故选A。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.(但是根据你的目标,考虑根据个人和专业的情况来调整你的色度)”可知,作者在最后一段给出的实用建议是根据你的目标策略性地使用明亮的颜色。故选D。

(我们很多人倾向于稳妥行事,因为我们害怕失败。)”正好解释了这种心态,能引起下文,符合题意。故选D。
【16题详解】
由上文“Most importantly, remind yourself that confidence doesn’t happen in leaps. (最重要的是,要提醒自己,自信不是突然发生的。)”可知,自信不是一蹴而就的,本空应对自信的逐步形成进行进一步解释。B选项“It is slowly learned in small baby steps. (它是慢慢学会的,就像婴儿一样。)”进一步解释了这一点,即自信是通过一步步小的努力慢慢建立起来的,能承接上文,符合题意。故选B。
【17题详解】
由上文“Do the same for yourself as you do for others—reflect on your best qualities, celebrate your strengths, make yourself laugh, treat yourself to things, nurture your own happiness. (对待自己就像对待别人一样——反思自己最好的品质,赞美自己的长处,让自己开怀大笑,善待自己,培养自己的快乐。)”和下文“Just remember to serve yourself from time to time the same way you serve others.

【48题详解】
考查名词。句意:中国建筑师和作家林徽因被追授宾夕法尼亚大学魏茨曼设计学院建筑学学士学位,以表彰她作为中国现代建筑先驱的杰出贡献。根据句意、提示词“recognize”以及上文的“in”,可知应填名词recognition,作宾语。故填recognition。
【49题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:魏茨曼设计学院的院长Fritz Steiner在评论这一决定时说:“所有来自中国的男性都获得了全额奖学金,林徽因获得了一半的奖学金。她是唯一一位被学校拒绝授予建筑学学位的女性和学生。”said为谓语动词,空处需填非谓语动词,院长Fritz Steiner和comment为主动关系,需用现在分词作状语,位于句首,首字母大写。故填Commenting。
【50题详解】
考查动词的被动语态。句意:魏茨曼设计学院的院长Fritz Steiner在评论这一决定时说:“所有来自中国的男性都获得了全额奖学金,林徽因获得了一半的奖学金。她是唯一一位被学校拒绝授予建筑学学位的女性和学生。”定语从句中缺少谓语,根据句意可知,这里是表被动,且是描述过去发生的事情,用一般过去时。故填was denied。
【51题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1924年,林徽因的宾夕法尼亚大学建筑系入学申请被拒,她不得不在唯一接受女生的系——金融艺术学院学习。had to study为谓语,此处为with+复合结构,需填非谓语动词,动词reject和宾语之间为被动关系,需用过去分词作宾补。故填rejected。

【53题详解】
考查定冠词。句意:除了完成艺术课程和大部分必修建筑课程外,林徽因还担任建筑设计助教,在学术上表现优于大多数男性同龄人。required architecture courses意为必修建筑课程,此处表示特指,要用定冠词the。故填the。
【54题详解】

【55题详解】
考查介词。句意:回国后,作为中国近代第一位女建筑师,尽管林徽因在战争和疾病的困扰下,但是她仍然在建筑历史、设计和教育方面取得了巨大的成功。根据句意可知上下文之间是转折关系,despite意为“尽管、虽然”,是介词,构成介词短语,符合语境。故填despite。
【56题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着海外对性别平等的历史性修正,林徽因的传奇故事现在已经为几代年轻人所熟知。根据句意、提示词“equal”以及上文的“of”可知,此处要填名词短语gender equality(性别平等)作宾语。故填equality。
【57题详解】
考查宾语从句。句意:这不仅是一个关于中国女性如何突破陈规定型观念和历史局限的故事,也是现代中国女性的榜样。空处引导宾语从句,从句缺少方式状语,需用连接副词how引导。故填how。

59. 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。
The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said.
“You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?”
“It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.
注意:续写词数应为150左右
It was late in the evening when she got home.

【答案】One possible answer
It was late in the evening when she got home. The whole family was waiting for her. It was still snowing hard outside. Seeing the white frost on his stepmother’s face, little Abe took a cloth and helped to wipe it off gently. Dinner was ready and Abe’s brothers and sisters went to lay the table. But Mrs. Lincoln was not in a hurry. She carefully took out a package from her bag and started to unwrap it.
Abe’s eyes became very wide. He fixed his eyes upon the package and watched eagerly. As Mrs. Lincoln tore the package open, a book suddenly came into sight. Little Abe couldn’t help crying out in joy! He ran to get it and found it was an old story book. He couldn’t wait one more minute and began to read it. Soon, he was so absorbed in reading the book that he totally forgot the meal on the table.
【解析】
【分析】本文以人物为线索展开,讲述了Abe是一个喜爱阅读的小男孩,但是他不得不在农场上帮父亲做事,并且没有书读,他感到很不开心。Abe的继母注意到了这些,冒着风雪出去给他买了一本书回来。Abe非常高兴。

A
Dan Mancina is a skateboarder whose jaw-dropping videos get hundreds of thousands of views. Mancina also happens to be blind, and videos of him using his white cane (手杖) as he skateboards have gained admiration from fans around the world.
“I’ve lost my vision slowly throughout my life,"Mancina said. It wasn’t until his mid-20s that his condition—an eye disease started to affect his day-to-day life, stopping him from driving and biking. The Michigan native started skating at seven, and got into it more seriously at 13, saying the sport helps him express himself. He stopped skating for a couple of years. This period, the 35-year-old said, was his “lowest point”.
However, mobility training helped him gain confidence. Slowly, he returned to doing what he loved. Mancina started filming short videos of his progress and posting them online and met a new group of people to skate with, gaining enough confidence to return to the streets. “I was just actually trying it, and then realized I was still the same person and that I could still do all the things that I love,” he said.
Now, Mancina wants to create spaces where visually impaired (视力受损的) people can enjoy the sport. “I wanted to build the first skatepark designed for visually impaired people, so I started a foundation called ‘Keep Pushing’ and have been raising money ever since for a few years now,” he said. The park, set to be built in Michigan, will use adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, to make it safe and accessible.
“To change the perception of the visually impaired, I started my social media stuff. Some people think it’s crazy for a blind people to skate. It’s not that crazy in my head. I just enjoy skating. I encourage people to think that way—don't let other people decide what you can and can't do. You know. It's all up to you,”Mancina added.
1. Which of the following best describes Mancina skateboarding?
A. Time-consuming B. Breath-taking. C. Labour-saving. D. Stress-reducing.
2. What happened to Mancina before he started skateboarding again?
A. His eye disease had been cured.
B. He lost all interest in skateboarding.
C. His story inspired many disabled people.
D. He experienced the worst moment of his life.
3. What can be learned about Mancina as he started skateboarding again?
A. He went through a lot of suffering.
B He had a sense of belonging gradually.
C He was very anxious about his performance.
D. He was optimistic about the spread of the sport.
4. Why does Mancina post videos of his skateboarding online?
A. To improve the image of blind people.
B. To introduce the skatepark he has built
C. To persuade more people to skateboard.
D. To raise money for the visually impaired.
B
Rote memorization is when we repeat a piece of information until we remember it. One great example of it is how we memorize the alphabet (字母表) when we are little. “Rote memorization can be a useful learning tool in some situations, but its effectiveness depends on the type of information being learned and how it is applied,” says Dr. Aldrich Chan, neuropsychologist and professor of Pepperdine University of the US.
Rote memorization can be useful for test preparation, learning basic facts and information such as vocabulary words or math formulas, and when we are in the early stages of learning something new. Rote memorization has a place in our day to day lives, especially when we need to learn something new or in a quick fashion. It enables us to remember information in situations where doing so is the main thing asked of us, even if it doesn’t lead us to have a deep understanding of that information.
However, rote memorization isn’t always the solution to every problem. Information memorized through rote learning is often preserved in the short term but may be forgotten relatively quickly if not actively used. Besides, it often does not promote a deep understanding of the material. Learners may memorize facts or information without truly comprehending their meaning or how they fit into a broader context. And rote memorization tends to focus on memorizing facts and procedures, which may discourage critical thinking or problem-solving skills.
Both rote memorization and meaningful learning have their place. The most important thing to remember is that rote memorization cannot stand in as a replacement for actual learning. Meaningful learning promotes long-term memory and the ability to apply knowledge flexibly.

We all notice bright colors. People who choose to go eye-catching, whether they express themselves through clothes or accessories (配饰), hear everything from “No one is going to miss you at the party” to “I would never have the courage to wear that.” But according to research, those comments may be both accurate and expected.
Adam D. Pazda and Christopher A. Thorstenson (2019) examined how we perceive people at first impression who wear bright colors. They specifically examined the effect of chroma (色度). They found that targets, both male and female, who were wearing or surrounded by high-chroma colors were perceived as more open and outgoing than in a low-chroma setting. They concluded that chroma is a variable of perception that can influence first impressions of personality.
Drilling down further, they found that high-chroma colors strengthened viewer perspective of openness and extraversion (外向), but not other personalities. These observations are important because some job responsibilities capitalize on some of the personalities inferred through bright colors.
Pazda and Thorstenson recognize what job seekers no doubt consider as they look for a career to match their personal nature: in some occupations, success is fueled by possessing certain personality qualities. They give examples of industries such as sales and marketing as well as customer service as fields where extraverts thrive (繁荣). Accordingly, applicants for these positions may be viewed more favorably and judged as more competent if they wear highly chromatic clothing.
Regarding the generality of their results, Pazda and Thorstenson note that one of the limitations of their study was their use of participants living in the United States, which means their findings may not predict results in other cultures. They note the possibility that chroma may influence the perception of personality differently in non-Western countries, and that high-chroma clothing may be perceived as at odds with social norms in other cultures. The practical takeaway, at least in the United States, appears to be that bright colors, like the peacock’s tail, will get you noticed. But depending on your goals, consider tailoring your chroma to the circumstances, personally and professionally.
9. What is the focus of the study mentioned in the passage?
A. The cultural implications of high chroma colors.
B. The influence of clothing on viewer perceptions.
C. The connection between clothing and job suitability.
D. The impact of high chroma colors on first impression.
10. What does the underlined phrase “capitalize on” in paragraph 4 probably mean?
A. Draw on. B. Approve of. C. Subscribe to. D. Dig up.
11. Which might be a limitation of the study?
A. The culturally specific findings. B. The unmonitored research process.
C. The outdated data analysis methods. D. The relatively insufficient theoretical basis.
12. What is the practical advice given by the author in the last paragraph?
A. Reserve bright colors for social events. B. Always wear bright colors to be noticed.
C. Avoid bright colors in professional settings. D. Use bright colors strategically based on your goals.

The winter of 1820 was a cold one for the Lincolns. It snowed nearly every day and the snow was high around their little farm house.
Abe was just a boy, but he had to help his father Tom around the farm. He looked after the house, milked the cow and prepared the dinner. It was hard work, and there wasn’t much fun for him and his brothers and sisters. Abe liked reading, but there was no book there. Abe was not happy. He was sad most of the time and seldom talked or smiled.
Mrs. Lincoln, Abe’s stepmother, really loved the boy. She noticed the boy’s silence and was concerned about him. She tried to think of ways to make Abe happy.
One day Mrs. Lincoln got up early in the morning. She took all the pennies from a small box. “I’m going to town tomorrow,” she said.
“You are going to town?” Tom asked. He was surprised. “That’s a long way. You see, the snow is thick. What are you going to do in town? Can’t you make it another day when the snow stops?”
“It’s a surprise. And I must go there tomorrow!” she said with a determined voice.
“Do you want Abe or me to go with you?” Tom asked his wife the next day.
“No, don’t worry, honey! I’ll be all right,” she said and went out of the house.
Walking in the snow was difficult. It took Mrs. Lincoln a long time to get to town. She bought something in town and wrapped it carefully. Then she started back.
注意:续写词数应为150左右
It was late in the evening when she got home.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Abe’s eyes became very wide.
