Professor Lum seems to be under the spell of ChatGPT, but let’s not get carried away with the AI chatbot craze. While it does have some benefits, his arguments are like a leaky boat in a stormy sea — full of holes.
According to Professor Lum, ChatGPT offers students a wealth of information. Sure, it’s like having a walking encyclopedia (百科全书), but learning is not about copying an answer. It’s about the journey of discovery. ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the opportunity to explore and learn through their own efforts. It’s like awarding a participation medal for a race that hasn’t even begun!
He also claims that ChatGPT improves communication skills. Seriously? Chatting with an AI is not the same as having a real conversation. How can we expect students to handle the complexities of the real world if all they know is how to talk to a chatbot? Let’s not turn them into socially awkward bots themselves.
Oh, and let’s not forget about critical thinking. Professor Lum thinks ChatGPT challenges students to think critically. But come on, folks! It’s merely a machine! It’s not going to teach them how to question assumptions, analyze evidence, or come up with innovative solutions. We need human interaction and lively debates for that.
Lastly, Professor Lum believes ChatGPT can provide support and guidance. Again, seriously? Are we going to replace human emotions with lines of code (代码)? ChatGPT might offer some comforting words, but it can’t replace the warmth and understanding that can only be found in human interaction. Let us not abandon our students, leaving them to feel more alone and disconnected than ever before.
Professor Lum’s opinion regarding ChatGPT warns us against too much reliance on technology. Rather than prioritizing ChatGPT, the focus should be on developing critical thinking, promoting genuine human interaction, and emphasizing the core aspects of education.
4. What is compared to a participation medal in paragraph 2?
A. A walking encyclopedia. B. A journey to explore.
C. A vast database. D. An answer.
5. What can be inferred about ChatGPT from paragraphs 3~5?
A. It is not good at socializing. B. It is a skilled critical thinker.
C. It offers nothing helpful to humans. D. It forms a warm bond with humans.
6. What is the author’s attitude towards ChatGPT?
A. Totally negative. B. Fully supportive.
C. Highly skeptical. D. Quite indifferent.
7. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To criticize a viewpoint. B. To question an authority.
C. To clarify two arguments. D. To compare two chatbots.

Whether playing tricks or holding funerals in the wild, crows have surprised the public with their unexpected capabilities. But their “intelligence” knows no bounds. A new study published in Current Biology revealed for the first time that crows can use statistical logic to solve problems.
Crows have a large brain for their size and a particularly noticeable forebrain, associated with statistical and analytical reasoning in humans. “In our lab, crows have shown complicated numerical competence and careful consideration during decision-making,” said Dr. Melissa Johnston, a fellow at the University of Tübingen. In her recent work, Johnston and her team pushed these abilities to a new extreme, testing statistical reasoning.
In the experiment, two crows were first trained to peck (啄) at various images on touchscreens to earn food treats; and gradually they had to choose between two of these images, each corresponding to a different reward probability. “Crows were tasked with learning rather abstract quantities and then applying that combination of information in a reward maximizing way,” Johnston detailed. Over 10 days of training and 5,000 trials, the two crows managed to pick the higher probability of reward, showing their ability to use statistical inference. To researchers’ much surprise, even after a month without training, the crows still perform well every time.
Statistical reasoning involves using limited information about a situation to draw conclusions and make decisions. People unknowingly use such cognitive ability every day. When we select cafes for social meetups, our brains automatically weigh collected statistics from past observations and favor the one more capable of meeting needs. Similarly, crows remembered and analyzed the connections between the images and the reward probabilities to make themselves get the most treats possible.
Crows once symbolized misfortune and death, causing them disliked even killed by people. Actually, they are among the few animals to adapt to urbanization successfully due to underestimated intelligence. “I think these studies do help change public views and improve our relationship with these lovely animals,” Johnston stated.
8. What makes crows’ intelligence possible?
A. Their limitless abilities of tricks.
B. Their social leaning in the wild.
C. Their physical structure of brains.
D. Their training received in the lab.
9. Which of the following best describes the research process in paragraph 3?
A. Instruct, task, and retest.
B. Train, perform, and record.
C. Assume, prove, and reflect.
D. Prepare, teach, and examine.
10. How does the author explain statistical inference in paragraph 4?
A. By sharing a personal experience.
B. By quoting a previous study.
C. By making a detailed comparison.
D. By using a common example.
11 What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Food Prize Competition: Crows Choosing Rewards
B. Urban Bird Survival Strategies: Living with People
C. Beyond Tricks: Surprise of Crows’ Statistical Reasoning
D. Animal Behavior Study: Training Crows in Experiments
D
Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
12. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.
C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic.
13. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?
A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals.
14. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.

Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
●___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___20___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.

An airline loses two suitcases belonging to two different travelers, Lucy and Pete. Both suitcases happen to be the same and also contain ____21____ antiques. An airline manager ____22____ to compensate for their loss figures that simply asking them for the price is hopeless, for they may ____23____ it. Instead, he has them write down the price as any dollar between 2 and 100 ____24____ so that they cannot negotiate with each other. If both write the same number, he will pay each of them that amount. If not, he will assume that the person writing the higher number is ____25____ and pay both of them the lower number with a ____26____ and a punishment-the person writing the lower number will get $2 more as a reward for ____27____ and the other will get $2 less instead. For instance, if Lucy writes 46 and Pete writes 100, Lucy will get $48 and Pete will get $44. What numbers will Lucy and Pete write?
____28____, Lucy’s idea is that she should write the largest possible number, which will earn her $100 if Pete’s similarly ____29____. Soon, it strikes her that if she wrote 99, she’d make a little more — $101. But surely this ____30____ will also occur to Pete, who will choose 99 too. Continuing with this line of ____31____, when both are unwilling to lose money or get less than the other, they will end up writing down the ____32____ price of the antique. Experimental studies conducted by economists, however, ____33____ this narrow view of reason. In their studies, most participants pick $100 or a number close to it, either without thinking the problem through or tending to believe they’ll ____34____ the “unreasonable” number. By doing so, participants ultimately get a much bigger ____35____ Based on this, researchers have concluded that people appear to have a natural tendency towards cooperation, which favors seemingly unreasonable but beneficial strategies.

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。
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, “A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I bought my paycheck home — it was $119 — my dad wanted to talk to me
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished.

【答案】4. D 5. A 6. C 7. A
【解析】
【分析】文章是说明文。介绍了Lum教授似乎被ChatGPT迷住了,认为ChatGPT有非常多的优点,但是作者提醒不能过多依赖技术,应把重点放在发展批判性思维、促进真正的人际互动和强调教育的核心方面。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。文章第二段第二句“Sure, it’s like having a walking encyclopedia (百科全书), but learning is not about copying an answer.”(当然,这就像有一本活百科全书, 但学习并不是复制答案。)和文章第二段第四句“ChatGPT, armed with its vast database, denies students the opportunity to explore and learn through their own efforts.”(拥有庞大数据库的ChatGPT剥夺了学生通过自己的努力探索和学习的机会。)可知,ChatGPT为学生提供了丰富的信息,但是同时也剥夺了孩子自努力探索学习的机会,答案都是直接获得。就好比比赛还未开始就颁发了参赛奖牌,所以此处参赛奖牌指的是学习之旅还未开始就提供了答案。故选D项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。文章第三段“Chatting with an AI is not the same as having a real conversation. How can we expect students to handle the complexities of the real world if all they know is how to talk to a chatbot? Let’s not turn them into socially awkward bots themselves. ”(与人工智能聊天并不等同于进行真正的对话。如果学生只知道如何与聊天机器人交谈,我们怎么能指望他们处理现实世界的复杂性?我们不要把他们自己变成社交尴尬的机器人。)文章第四段“It’s merely a machine! It’s not going to teach them how to question assumptions, analyze evidence, or come up with innovative solutions. We need human interaction and lively debates for that.”(这只是一台机器!它不会教他们如何质疑假设、分析证据或提出创新的解决方案。为此,我们需要人与人之间的互动和激烈的辩论。)和文章第五段“ ChatGPT might offer some comforting words, but it can’t replace the warmth and understanding that can only be found in human interaction.”(ChatGPT可能会提供一些安慰的话语,但它无法取代只有在人类互动中才能找到的温暖和理解。)可知,作者针对Lum教授提出的关于ChatGPT在与人交往方面的优点都提出了反驳。认为ChatGPT无法实现真正人与人之间的互动和交流,也无法取代只有在人类社交互动中才能找到的温暖和理解。所以可推测ChatGPT不善于人际交往。故选A项。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第一段第二句“While it does have some benefits, his arguments are like a leaky boat in a stormy sea- full of holes. ”(虽然这确实有一些好处,但他的论点就像暴风雨中漏洞百出的船。)可知,作者认为ChatGPT确实存在一些优点,但对于Lum教授认为ChatGPT可以提升交际技能,培养批判性思维和提供支持和指导作者持不赞成和怀疑态度。故填C项。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Professor Lum seems to be under the spell of ChatGPT, but let’s not get carried away with the AI chatbot craze.

Whether playing tricks or holding funerals in the wild, crows have surprised the public with their unexpected capabilities. But their “intelligence” knows no bounds. A new study published in Current Biology revealed for the first time that crows can use statistical logic to solve problems.
Crows have a large brain for their size and a particularly noticeable forebrain, associated with statistical and analytical reasoning in humans. “In our lab, crows have shown complicated numerical competence and careful consideration during decision-making,” said Dr. Melissa Johnston, a fellow at the University of Tübingen. In her recent work, Johnston and her team pushed these abilities to a new extreme, testing statistical reasoning.
In the experiment, two crows were first trained to peck (啄) at various images on touchscreens to earn food treats; and gradually they had to choose between two of these images, each corresponding to a different reward probability. “Crows were tasked with learning rather abstract quantities and then applying that combination of information in a reward maximizing way,” Johnston detailed. Over 10 days of training and 5,000 trials, the two crows managed to pick the higher probability of reward, showing their ability to use statistical inference. To researchers’ much surprise, even after a month without training, the crows still perform well every time.
Statistical reasoning involves using limited information about a situation to draw conclusions and make decisions. People unknowingly use such cognitive ability every day. When we select cafes for social meetups, our brains automatically weigh collected statistics from past observations and favor the one more capable of meeting needs. Similarly, crows remembered and analyzed the connections between the images and the reward probabilities to make themselves get the most treats possible.
Crows once symbolized misfortune and death, causing them disliked even killed by people. Actually, they are among the few animals to adapt to urbanization successfully due to underestimated intelligence. “I think these studies do help change public views and improve our relationship with these lovely animals,” Johnston stated.
8. What makes crows’ intelligence possible?
A. Their limitless abilities of tricks.
B. Their social leaning in the wild.
C. Their physical structure of brains.
D. Their training received in the lab.
9. Which of the following best describes the research process in paragraph 3?
A. Instruct, task, and retest.
B. Train, perform, and record.
C. Assume, prove, and reflect.
D. Prepare, teach, and examine.
10. How does the author explain statistical inference in paragraph 4?
A. By sharing a personal experience.
B. By quoting a previous study.
C. By making a detailed comparison.
D By using a common example.
11. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Food Prize Competition: Crows Choosing Rewards
B. Urban Bird Survival Strategies: Living with People
C. Beyond Tricks: Surprise of Crows’ Statistical Reasoning
D. Animal Behavior Study: Training Crows in Experiments

Given the astonishing potential of AI to transform our lives, we all need to take action to deal with our AI-powered future, and this is where AI by Design: A Plan for Living with Artificial Intelligence comes in. This absorbing new book by Catriona Campbell is a practical roadmap addressing the challenges posed by the forthcoming AI revolution (变革).
In the wrong hands, such a book could prove as complicated to process as the computer code (代码) that powers AI but, thankfully, Campbell has more than two decades’ professional experience translating the heady into the understandable. She writes from the practical angle of a business person rather than as an academic, making for a guide which is highly accessible and informative and which, by the close, will make you feel almost as smart as AI.
As we soon come to learn from AI by Design, AI is already super-smart and will become more capable, moving from the current generation of “narrow-AI” to Artificial General Intelligence. From there, Campbell says, will come Artificial Dominant Intelligence. This is why Campbell has set out to raise awareness of AI and its future now — several decades before these developments are expected to take place. She says it is essential that we keep control of artificial intelligence, or risk being sidelined and perhaps even worse.
Campbell’s point is to wake up those responsible for AI—the technology companies and world leaders—so they are on the same page as all the experts currently developing it. She explains we are at a “tipping point” in history and must act now to prevent an extinction-level event for humanity. We need to consider how we want our future with AI to pan out. Such structured thinking, followed by global regulation, will enable us to achieve greatness rather than our downfall.
AI will affect us all, and if you only read one book on the subject, this is it.
12. What does the phrase “In the wrong hands” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. If read by someone poorly educated. B. If reviewed by someone ill-intentioned.
C. If written by someone less competent. D. If translated by someone unacademic.
13. What is a feature of AI by Design according to the text?
A. It is packed with complex codes. B. It adopts a down-to-earth writing style.
C. It provides step-by-step instructions. D. It is intended for AI professionals.
14. What does Campbell urge people to do regarding AI development?
A. Observe existing regulations on it.
B. Reconsider expert opinions about it.
C. Make joint efforts to keep it under control.
D. Learn from prior experience to slow it down.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To recommend a book on AI. B. To give a brief account of AI history.
C. To clarify the definition of AI. D. To honor an outstanding AI expert.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. C 15. A

根据下面短文,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。
Overtourism Is For Real: How Can You Help?
Travel promotes understanding, expands our minds, makes us better people, and boosts local economies and communities, but the rapid growth of travel has led to overtourism in certain regions and destinations. ___16___ Certainly not. The loss of what travel offers would be unacceptable in today’s world. Here are some tips on making wise decisions to minimize pressure on the places we visit and improve our experience.
●Choose mindfully. Overvisited destinations are that way for a reason: they’re special. With so many online posts featuring the same places, it’s easy to feel like you’re missing out. Go somewhere only when the landscape, culture or food deeply draws you. ___17___
●Get creative. The best way to ease pressure on over-touristed destinations is to go somewhere else. Though overtourism is described as a problem affecting the entire world, it’s actually concentrated to a small number of extremely popular spots. That means you have tons of less-visited options to choose from. ___18___ Why not try a regional alternative or check out a popular destination’s lesser-known sights?
●___19___ Minimize impact and maximize experience by skipping major holidays or rush hour. You’ll compete with fewer tourists, save money, experience a different side of a popular place, and boost the economy when tourism is traditionally slower.
Visiting a place that others call home is a privilege (荣幸). Do your part to preserve what makes a destination special in the first place. ___20___ You may be amazed how much closer you’ll feel to the people there.
A. Visit during off-peak times.
B. So, should we stop traveling?
C. Travel for you and no one else.
D. Can overtourism be avoided then?
E. You can still find relatively undiscovered places.
F. You’ll find yourself virtually alone, or close to it.
G. Consider giving back to the communities you’re visiting.
【答案】16. B 17. C 18. E 19. A 20. G

Instead, he has them write down the price as any dollar between 2 and 100 ____24____ so that they cannot negotiate with each other. If both write the same number, he will pay each of them that amount. If not, he will assume that the person writing the higher number is ____25____ and pay both of them the lower number with a ____26____ and a punishment-the person writing the lower number will get $2 more as a reward for ____27____ and the other will get $2 less instead. For instance, if Lucy writes 46 and Pete writes 100, Lucy will get $48 and Pete will get $44. What numbers will Lucy and Pete write?
____28____, Lucy’s idea is that she should write the largest possible number, which will earn her $100 if Pete’s similarly ____29____. Soon, it strikes her that if she wrote 99, she’d make a little more — $101. But surely this ____30____ will also occur to Pete, who will choose 99 too. Continuing with this line of ____31____, when both are unwilling to lose money or get less than the other, they will end up writing down the ____32____ price of the antique. Experimental studies conducted by economists, however, ____33____ this narrow view of reason. In their studies, most participants pick $100 or a number close to it, either without thinking the problem through or tending to believe they’ll ____34____ the “unreasonable” number. By doing so, participants ultimately get a much bigger ____35____ Based on this, researchers have concluded that people appear to have a natural tendency towards cooperation, which favors seemingly unreasonable but beneficial strategies.

考查形容词。句意:制作宣纸的传统工艺极其费工。提示词作表语,应用形容词demanding,表示“费时费力的,费工的”。故填demanding。
【40题详解】
考查时态和主谓一致。句意:檀香木树皮,一种原产于中国南方的植物,要经过108道工序,历时三年,才能变成优质的宣纸。go through(经过,经历)是谓语动词,与主语Sandalwood bark之间是主动关系,根据后文“before it can transform into fine Xuan paper”可知,此处表示一般事实,应用一般现在时,主语Sandalwood bark是单数名词,谓语动词应用第三人称单数形式goes。故填goes。
【41题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:宣纸以其充分发挥墨水性能的卓越能力而脱颖而出。名词ability常用不定式作后置定语,ability to do“做某事的能力”。故填to give。
【42题详解】
考查介词。句意:造纸过程中树皮与稻草的不同比例可以创造出最适合自由水墨画或书法艺术表达的不同画布。(be) suited for/to表示“适合于”,固定短语。故填for/to。
43题详解】
考查副词。句意:宣纸的独特品质在中国书法和绘画界受到高度评价。空处修饰动词value,应用副词highly,表示“高度地”。故填highly。
【44题详解】
考查强调句。句意:正是这种耐久性使得许多中国古代珍贵作品的保存成为可能。句中使用了强调句型,强调句结构为“It + is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 句子其它部分”,在强调句中,当被强调部分是人时,可以使用who代替that;本句中强调的是原句主语“this durability ”,句子其它部分只能由that引出。故填that。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:宣纸悠久的历史、独特的工艺和高质量使其成为中国宝贵的文化遗产。提示词treasure(珍惜,珍视)作定语,修饰名词cultural heritage,是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语cultural heritage之间是被动关系,用过去分词作定语。故填treasured。

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。
My dad, George, only had an eighth grade education. A quiet man, he didn’t understand my world of school activities. From age 14, he worked. And his dad, Albert, took the money my dad earned and used it to pay family expenses.
I didn’t really understand his world either: He was a livestock trucker, and I thought that I would surpass (超过) anything he had accomplished by the time I walked across the stage at high school graduation.
Summers in the mid-70s were spent at home shooting baskets, hitting a baseball, or throwing a football, preparing for my future as a quarterback on a football team. In poor weather, I read about sports or practiced my trombone (长号).
The summer before my eighth grade I was one of a group of boys that a neighboring farmer hired to work in his field. He explained our basic task, the tractor fired up and we were off, riding down the field looking for weeds to spray with chemicals. After a short way, the farmer stopped and pointed at a weed which we missed. Then we began again. This happened over and over, but we soon learned to identify different grasses like cockleburs, lamb’s-quarters, foxtails, and the king of weeds, the pretty purple thistle. It was tiring work, but I looked forward to the pay, even though I wasn’t sure how much it would amount to.
At home, my dad said, “A job’s a big step to growing up. I’m glad you will be contributing to the household.” My dad’s words made me realize that my earnings might not be mine to do with as I wished.
My labors lasted about two weeks, and the farmer said there might be more work, but I wasn’t interested. I decided it was not fair that I had to contribute my money.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Paragraph 1:
When I bought my paycheck home — it was $119 — my dad wanted to talk to me.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2:
I was surprised that my dad allowed me to use the money as I wished.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】When I brought my payback home — it was $119 — my dad wanted to talk to me. He told me to wait in the living room for a while. Silence reigned in the room. I sat on the sofa, eyes glued to the money I earned. I kept digging in my mind for words to argue with dad if he announced that the money wasn’t mine. Just then, the door opened and in came my dad. The moment he sat down beside me, I gripped the paycheck more firmly, ready to argue. However, he gently placed his right hand on my shoulder and said, “I know you have grown up a lot through your work …” Then there was a long pause. He withdrew his hand and slowly continued, “You deserve the money and the money is yours now.”
I was surprised that my dad allowed to use the money as I wished. In the blink of an eye, numerous fun activities I could do presented themselves to me. I sprang to my feet and kept jumping, still wild with joy and astonishment. On that day, after calculating my budget, I went to the local store and bought many things I wanted — a new football, a baseball bat and a pair of sneakers and so on. Better yet, the idea of giving back to the farmer and working more popped into my mind. At exactly that moment, I realized why my father let me have the money — it was his expectation for my future, his encouragement and quiet love. And that was something I might never surpass.
