In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates.
In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days.
Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency.
Her daughter, Angeliki, narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.
She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.”
4. What did the scarves begin as?
A. Presents to acquaintances.
B. Initiatives for fundraising.
C. Donation to a refugee camp.
D Stock for children’s shelters.
5. What can we learn about Matsouka from paragraph 4?
A. She yields to her severely impaired vision.
B. She wakes up every morning due to facial pain.
C. She continues knitting despite her health challenges.
D. She is only rewarded with drawings from her daughter.
6. What does the underlined word “resilience” mean?
A. Insistence. B. Ambition.
C. Generosity. D. Passion.
7. What message does the article mainly convey?
A. The eye is bigger than the belly.
B. Giving is better than accepting.
C. An early bird catches the worm.
D. Time and tide wait for no man.
C
Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly made coffee in hand, only to find your attentively cared-for plants and herbs dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their roses would just tell them what they need. A new project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world.
Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Aside from the pleasant novelty of chatting with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways Al and Internet of Things technologies could be used to enhance sustainability and conservation efforts.
When the garden is uncovered, it will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model housed in a pavilion (亭子) at the back of the garden. The model can then analyze those factors and inform gardener of timely feeding, or watering.
Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown, simply trusting an Al to tell you whether a plant of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise,and could have dangerous results.
8. Why does the author put forward questions in the beginning?
A. To arouse readers’ interest.
B. To frustrate the gardeners.
C. To introduce AI-powered garden.
D. To give garden-care instructions.
9. What may visitors do in the “intelligent garden”?
A. Collect data from the soil.
B. Read novels to the plants.
C. Give presentations on physics.
D. Conduct talks with flowers.
10. What is the right process of managing the garden?
① The model analyzes the data.
② Sensors send data to Al model.
③ AI model is built in the pavilion.
④ Sensors collect environmental factors.
⑤ Sensors are installed throughout the garden.
⑥ Gardeners are given clues to tend the plants.
A. ①⑤②⑥ B. ③④②⑤
C. ④②①⑥ D. ③⑤①④.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards using Al to help gardening?
A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious.
C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.
D
“Have you eaten yet?”, a familiar Chinese greeting, might be the title of this book, but for the author Cheuk Kwan-and for almost every restaurateur he interviews-food is only the entry point. Because “running a Chinese restaurant is the easiest path for new Chinese immigrants to integrate into the host society,” Kwan writes in his memoir.
We first met Noisy Jim who arrived in Vancouver at the age of 12. To gain Jim’s entry, his father obtained the identity papers of a dead Canadian resident named Chow Jim Kook, whose name Jim would keep for the rest of his life. For years, he laboured in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant until he was called back to China to marry a woman. The couple returned to Canada to open their own Chinese cafe in a remote town, raised seven children and served egg rolls and chop suey (杂碎): food that was neither Canadian nor according to Jim, “what Chinese people eat.”
The trace of Jim’s life bears a striking resemblance to that of Maurice Soong, who helped at his father’s general store in San Fernando, before running a Chinese restaurant there with his new wife, who was married to him from his home village.
From the Arctic to Africa to the Amazon, perseverance, economic pragmatism (经济务实) and resourcefulness bind the lives of Chinese immigrant restaurateurs all over the world and inspire their diverse menus.
At its best, Kwan’s book reveals the ways in which diasporic (大移居的) Chinese restaurants are like test kitchens experimenting in opportunities for a better life, however cloudy that pursuit might be. As in the case of Jim and Maurice, many who venture on the immigration journey are children with little say in the matter.
Kwan’s book is a kind of love letter to his varied homes and a memorial to his journey through them, as reflected through the lives of faraway strangers. “To me, a home is about finding a community where you feel you belong,” Kwan writes toward the end.
12. What’s the role Chinese restaurants play in the immigrants’ lives?
A. To provide a way to make a fortune.
B. To present authentic Chinese cuisine.
C. To blend immigrants into the local community.
D. To connect immigrants with their traditional culture.
13. What can be inferred from Noisy Jim’s experiences?
A. He served traditional Canadian cuisine in his cafe.
B. He adopted a fake identity throughout his later life.
C. He was raised in Canada and always used his real name.
D. He settled in Canada and never returned to his hometown.
14. What’s the similarity between Jim and Maurice?
A. They opened restaurants in their hometowns.
B. They lacked voice in the decision to immigrate.
C. They married women from their later residence.
D. They worked in general stores before marriage.
15. What might be the suitable title of this passage?
A. Have you eaten yet?
B. Immigration is a long way to go.
C. Opening restaurants helps make a fortune.
D. Chinese restaurants spread all over the world.

The Return of Blossom
I saw Mr. Darkin in the cow barn (牛棚) and went across to him. The farmer was a kind man but he always looked mournful, and this morning he looked sadder than ever.
I had come to examine a litter of pigs who had upset stomachs but Mr. Darkin seemed in no hurry to leave the barn. He was gazing at his old cow, Blossom.
“She’s got to go, Mr. Herriot.”
“Old Blossom? Why?” I asked.
“It’s not paying me to keep her any more. She’s not giving enough milk now, and I have to sell plenty of milk to keep my farm going. Jack Dodson is coming this morning to take her to the market.”
He rested his hand briefly on the old cow’s back. “I’m right sorry to see her go. She’s like an old friend. She’s given me thousands of gallons of milk for twelve years. She doesn’t owe me anything."
There were six cows in the old barn with its low roof, and they all had names. As if she knew she were the topic of the conversation, Blossom turned her head and looked at him. She was certainly very ancient: Her bones stuck out from her skinny body and her udder (乳房) drooped almost to the ground. But there was something appealing in the friendliness of the eyes and the patient expression on her face.
Mr. Darkin had fallen silent as he looked fondly at his cow. I was about to suggest that we might see the pigs when I heard sounds of boots in the yard and Jack Dodson, the cattle drover. hurried into the barn.
“Now then Mr. Darkin. It’s easy to see which one you want me to take,” he cried, pointing to Blossom. “It’s that skinny old thing over there.”
The farmer didn’t reply for a moment, and then he went between the cows and gently rubbed Blossom’s forehead. “Aye, this is the one, Jack.” Then he undid (解开) the chain round her neck. “Off you go, old lass,” he murmured.
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。
The cow turned and made her way calmly from the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About half an hour later, we heard the clip-clop of hoofs (蹄声) on the hard ground.

In her tiny Athens apartment, 93-year-old Ioanna Matsouka has knitted thousands of brightly colored scarves for children in need from Greece to Ukraine, and she has no plans to quit just yet. “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Since she took up knitting in the 1990s, Matsouka has easily made over 3,000 scarves, her daughter estimates.
In the hallway by the door, shopping bags filled with her latest creations await their new home. A knitted blanket is thrown over the sofa where she spends her days.
Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded. Then, through acquaintances, they reached children in Bosnia and Ukraine. The latest batch of 70 went to a refugee camp near Athens this winter via the UN refugee agency.
Her daughter, Angeliki, narrates drawings and mails her mother has received over the years: “Thank you, be well, keep going. You gave joy to children, you gave joy to people.” That’s her only reward: a letter, a few words. Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). Angeliki says her mother is an example of resilience and optimism. Matsouka wakes up every morning, drinks a glass of milk, puts on her pearl earrings and gets to work. She takes a break for lunch and a nap, and then painstakingly knits into the night.
She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.”
4. What did the scarves begin as?
A. Presents to acquaintances.
B. Initiatives for fundraising.
C. Donation to a refugee camp.
D. Stock for children’s shelters.
5. What can we learn about Matsouka from paragraph 4?
A. She yields to her severely impaired vision.
B. She wakes up every morning due to facial pain.
C. She continues knitting despite her health challenges.
D. She is only rewarded with drawings from her daughter.
6. What does the underlined word “resilience” mean?
A. Insistence. B. Ambition.
C. Generosity. D. Passion.
7. What message does the article mainly convey?
A. The eye is bigger than the belly.
B. Giving is better than accepting.
C. An early bird catches the worm.
D Time and tide wait for no man.
【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B

【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章通过讲述93岁的Ioanna Matsouka为有需要的孩子们编织围巾的善举,展现了她的坚韧、乐观和无私奉献的精神。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第三段“Initially distributed to friends, the scarves were later contributed to children’s shelters across Greece as the stock expanded.(一开始,这些围巾只是分发给朋友们,但随着库存的增加,它们后来被送到了希腊各地的儿童收容所。)”可知,这些围巾最初是送给相识的朋友的礼物。故选A。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第四段“Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛).(Matsouka现在每天织一条围巾,虽然有些小瑕疵。她的视力受损,还患有严重的面部疼痛,这是一种被称为三叉神经痛的疾病。)”可知,我们可以从第四段了解到Matsouka尽管面临健康挑战,但仍然坚持织围巾。故选C。
【6题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词上文“Matsouka knits one scarf a day, now with small imperfections. Her vision is impaired and she suffers from severe facial pain, a condition known as trigeminal neuralgia (三叉神经痛). ( Matsouka现在每天织一条围巾,虽然有些小瑕疵。她的视力受损,还患有严重的面部疼痛,这是一种被称为三叉神经痛的疾病。)”可推测,Matsouka尽管面临健康挑战,但仍然坚持织围巾,因此“resilience”在此处的意思是“坚持不懈”。选项A“Insistence(坚持不懈)”与此相符。故选A。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“She may have even found the secret to a long life in it, she says. “It’s the happiness I get from giving.” she says, sitting beside a big blue bag brimming with yarn (纱线). “Until I die, I will be knitting,” Matsouka says. Her knitting needles click through her expert fingers, her nails painted red. “It brings me joy to share them.”(她说,她甚至可能从中找到了长寿的秘密。“我从中得到的快乐来自于给予,”她坐在一个装满纱线的大蓝色袋子旁边说。“直到我死的那天,我都会一直织下去,”Matsouka说道。她熟练地摆弄着织针,指甲涂成了红色。“能与人分享让我感到快乐。”)”以及全文内容可知,文章主要讲述了93岁的Ioanna Matsouka为有需要的孩子们编织围巾的善举,而Ioanna Matsouka也认为自己长寿的秘诀就是给予。传达了“给予比接受更好”的主题思想。故选B。

Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly made coffee in hand, only to find your attentively cared-for plants and herbs dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their roses would just tell them what they need. A new project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world.
Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care. Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil. Aside from the pleasant novelty of chatting with plants, the garden will provide visitors with a physical representation of the many ways Al and Internet of Things technologies could be used to enhance sustainability and conservation efforts.
When the garden is uncovered, it will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model housed in a pavilion (亭子) at the back of the garden. The model can then analyze those factors and inform gardener of timely feeding, or watering.
Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown, simply trusting an Al to tell you whether a plant of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise,and could have dangerous results.
8. Why does the author put forward questions in the beginning?
A. To arouse readers’ interest.
B. To frustrate the gardeners.
C. To introduce AI-powered garden.
D. To give garden-care instructions.
9 What may visitors do in the “intelligent garden”?
A. Collect data from the soil.
B. Read novels to the plants.
C. Give presentations on physics.
D. Conduct talks with flowers.
10. What is the right process of managing the garden?
① The model analyzes the data.
② Sensors send data to Al model.
③ AI model is built in the pavilion.
④ Sensors collect environmental factors.
⑤ Sensors are installed throughout the garden.
⑥ Gardeners are given clues to tend the plants.
A. ①⑤②⑥ B. ③④②⑤
C. ④②①⑥ D. ③⑤①④.
11. What is the author’s attitude towards using Al to help gardening?
A. Ambiguous. B. Cautious.
C. Indifferent. D. Optimistic.
【答案】8. C 9. D 10. C 11. B

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了英国皇家园艺学会计划展示的一个“智能花园”项目,该花园使用人工智能和物联网技术来监测和管理植物的生长环境,并与游客互动。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Have you ever joyously stepped out to your backyard garden, freshly made coffee in hand, only to find your attentively cared-for plants and herbs dying? Was the soil too dry? Did pests find their way in? During times like these, some frustrated gardeners may wish their roses would just tell them what they need. A new project in the UK is trying to see if that concept can be demonstrated in the real world.(你是否曾满怀愉悦地拿着刚煮好的咖啡走到后院花园,却发现自己精心照料的植物和草药正在枯萎?是土壤太干了吗?还是有害虫入侵了?在这样的时刻,一些感到沮丧的园丁可能会希望他们的玫瑰能直接告诉他们需要什么。英国的一个新项目正在尝试看看这个概念是否能在现实世界中得到实现。)”及第二段中“Next year, the Royal Horticultural Society in England will show an “intelligent garden” that uses an AI model to monitor the garden’s environment and inform gardeners when it needs care.(明年,英国的皇家园艺学会将展示一个“智能花园”,该花园使用人工智能模型来监控花园环境,并在需要护理时通知园丁。)”可知,作者在一开始就提出问题是为了引出人工智能花园的话题。故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Visitors can ask the AI-powered garden questions. The model could then respond with phrases like “I need a bit more water,” or “I could use a haircut” depending on data captured in the soil.(游客可以向这个由人工智能驱动的花园提问。根据土壤中捕捉到的数据,模型可能会回应说“我需要多一点水”或“我该剪剪头发了”。)”可知,游客可以在“智能花园”里和植物进行对话。故选D。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“When the garden is uncovered, it will rely on a network of sensors nestled throughout the garden measuring environmental factors like soil moisture, and nutrient levels as well as wind and projected rainfall. All of that data is then sent to a specially designed AI model housed in a pavilion (亭子) at the back of the garden. The model can then analyze those factors and inform gardener of timely feeding, or watering.(当这个花园揭幕时,它将依赖于遍布整个花园的传感器网络,这些传感器会测量诸如土壤湿度、营养水平、风速以及预期降雨量等环境因素。所有这些数据随后会被发送到位于花园后方亭子中特别设计的人工智能模型。该模型可以分析这些因素,并及时告知园丁何时需要施肥或浇水。)”可知,管理花园的正确过程是④传感器收集环境因素→②传感器将数据发送到AI模型→①模型分析数据→⑥园丁得到照顾植物的线索。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Several currently available apps also use AI to help gardeners identify unknown plants by comparing a photo of them against a large online database. But as past reporting has shown, simply trusting an Al to tell you whether a plant of unknown origin is safe to eat isn’t wise, and could have dangerous results.(目前市面上已有一些应用程序利用人工智能帮助园丁通过将植物的照片与庞大的在线数据库进行对比来识别未知植物。但正如以往的报道所显示的,仅仅依赖人工智能来判断未知来源的植物是否可以安全食用是不明智的,这可能会带来危险的后果。)”可推知,作者对AI在园艺中的应用持谨慎态度,既看到了其潜力,也指出了潜在的风险。故选B。
D
“Have you eaten yet?”, a familiar Chinese greeting, might be the title of this book, but for the author Cheuk Kwan-and for almost every restaurateur he interviews-food is only the entry point. Because “running a Chinese restaurant is the easiest path for new Chinese immigrants to integrate into the host society,” Kwan writes in his memoir.
We first met Noisy Jim who arrived in Vancouver at the age of 12. To gain Jim’s entry, his father obtained the identity papers of a dead Canadian resident named Chow Jim Kook, whose name Jim would keep for the rest of his life. For years, he laboured in the kitchen of a Chinese restaurant until he was called back to China to marry a woman. The couple returned to Canada to open their own Chinese cafe in a remote town, raised seven children and served egg rolls and chop suey (杂碎): food that was neither Canadian nor according to Jim, “what Chinese people eat.”
The trace of Jim’s life bears a striking resemblance to that of Maurice Soong, who helped at his father’s general store in San Fernando, before running a Chinese restaurant there with his new wife, who was married to him from his home village.
From the Arctic to Africa to the Amazon, perseverance, economic pragmatism (经济务实) and resourcefulness bind the lives of Chinese immigrant restaurateurs all over the world and inspire their diverse menus.
At its best, Kwan’s book reveals the ways in which diasporic (大移居的) Chinese restaurants are like test kitchens experimenting in opportunities for a better life, however cloudy that pursuit might be. As in the case of Jim and Maurice, many who venture on the immigration journey are children with little say in the matter.
Kwan’s book is a kind of love letter to his varied homes and a memorial to his journey through them, as reflected through the lives of faraway strangers. “To me, a home is about finding a community where you feel you belong,” Kwan writes toward the end.
12. What’s the role Chinese restaurants play in the immigrants’ lives?
A. To provide a way to make a fortune.
B. To present authentic Chinese cuisine.
C. To blend immigrants into the local community.
D. To connect immigrants with their traditional culture.
13. What can be inferred from Noisy Jim’s experiences?
A. He served traditional Canadian cuisine in his cafe.
B. He adopted a fake identity throughout his later life.
C. He was raised in Canada and always used his real name.
D. He settled in Canada and never returned to his hometown.
14. What’s the similarity between Jim and Maurice?
A. They opened restaurants in their hometowns.
B. They lacked voice in the decision to immigrate.
C. They married women from their later residence.
D. They worked in general stores before marriage.
15. What might be the suitable title of this passage?
A. Have you eaten yet?
B. Immigration is a long way to go.
C. Opening restaurants helps make a fortune.
D. Chinese restaurants spread all over the world.
【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. A

【15题详解】
主旨大意题。根据文章第一段““Have you eaten yet?”, a familiar Chinese greeting, might be the title of this book, but for the author Cheuk Kwan-and for almost every restaurateur he interviews-food is only the entry point.(这本书的标题可能是“你吃了吗?”,这是一个熟悉的中文问候语,但对于作者Cheuk Kwan和他采访的几乎所有的餐馆老板来说,食物只是切入点。)”可知,文章围绕“Have you eaten yet?”这一话题展开,讲述了几位中餐馆店主的移民故事,故A项“你吃了吗?”符合本文标题,故选A。

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。
The Return of Blossom
I saw Mr. Darkin in the cow barn (牛棚) and went across to him. The farmer was a kind man but he always looked mournful, and this morning he looked sadder than ever.
I had come to examine a litter of pigs who had upset stomachs but Mr. Darkin seemed in no hurry to leave the barn. He was gazing at his old cow, Blossom.
“She’s got to go, Mr. Herriot.”
“Old Blossom? Why?” I asked.
“It’s not paying me to keep her any more. She’s not giving enough milk now, and I have to sell plenty of milk to keep my farm going. Jack Dodson is coming this morning to take her to the market.”
He rested his hand briefly on the old cow’s back. “I’m right sorry to see her go. She’s like an old friend. She’s given me thousands of gallons of milk for twelve years. She doesn’t owe me anything."
There were six cows in the old barn with its low roof, and they all had names. As if she knew she were the topic of the conversation, Blossom turned her head and looked at him. She was certainly very ancient: Her bones stuck out from her skinny body and her udder (乳房) drooped almost to the ground. But there was something appealing in the friendliness of the eyes and the patient expression on her face.
Mr. Darkin had fallen silent as he looked fondly at his cow. I was about to suggest that we might see the pigs when I heard sounds of boots in the yard and Jack Dodson, the cattle drover. hurried into the barn.
“Now then Mr. Darkin. It’s easy to see which one you want me to take,” he cried, pointing to Blossom. “It’s that skinny old thing over there.”
The farmer didn’t reply for a moment, and then he went between the cows and gently rubbed Blossom’s forehead. “Aye, this is the one, Jack.” Then he undid (解开) the chain round her neck. “Off you go, old lass,” he murmured.
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。
The cow turned and made her way calmly from the barn.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
About half an hour later, we heard the clip-clop of hoofs (蹄声) on the hard ground.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】The cow turned and made her way calmly from the barn. Her eyes held a depth of understanding, as if she knew what was happening but had accepted her fact with grace. She walked on the road and up the hill, Jack Dodson following behind her. Soon the man and the cow disappeared, but Mr. Darkin still gazed after them with a heavy heart. The sun was beginning to rise, casting long shadows across the yard, as if the world itself was mourning the departure of this old friend. (78 words)
About half an hour later, we heard the clip-clop of hoofs (啼声) on the hard ground. To our surprise, it was Blossom, moving at a quick pace into the yard. Mr. Darkin came running out to see what was happening. “What on earth?” he exclaimed. His eyes widened in disbelief and then filled with joy as he realized that Blossom had chosen to return home. He reached out and scratched the old cow’s back. “I won’t let you go anymore.” It was a testament to the bond they shared and the love that had sustained her for so many years. (84 words)
