Dala horses, the brightly painted wooden horses, with their complex patterns, come from the Dalarna region and date back to the 1600s. Originally carved as toys, they gradually became the symbols of Swedish tradition over time.
That was my first learning about Dala horses from a book on Swedish culture. While I didn’t fully understand the deeper meaning at that time, I was immediately drawn to their charm and uniqueness. When I was younger, I remember how excited I was when my parents took me to a craft workshop. I had seen these colorful horses in many places — on postcards, at the zoo and even in shops. But this time, I was going to create one myself.
The process was so much fun! First, we started with a small wooden block. We used carving tools to carefully shape the wood into a horse. It was a bit tricky at first, and my hands were so shaky, but as I kept carving, the shape of the horse slowly started to appear. Once we were done carving, it was time to paint! I felt like an artist as I painted tiny flowers and swirls (旋涡) on its body. My horse was not perfect, but it felt like a masterpiece to me!
I still remember how proud I felt holding the finished horse. Its patterns, painted in bright red, blue and yellow, looked like the Dala horses I had seen before. My parents told me that the colors and designs meant something special, and I could tell this little wooden horse had a bigger meaning than just being a decoration.
Years later, I still have that Dala horse in my room. It’s a reminder of that wonderful day and my connection to Swedish traditions. The Dala horse is more than a piece of art — it’s a symbol of history, culture, and cherished memories.
4. Which is the true statement about the Dala horse?
A. It was originally used as a decoration.
B. It came from the Swedish region of Dalarna.
C. It originated from a famous book in Swedish culture.
D. It is a modern invention inspired by traditional wooden toys.
5. How did the author feel when he first learned about the Dala horse?
A. Indifferent. B. Confused. C. Fascinated. D. Skeptical.
6. Why did the author like his Dala horse so much?
A. His parents spoke highly of his remarkable carving skills.
B. It served as a reminder of his bond with Swedish traditions.
C. It approached an ideal state of perfection in form and detail.
D. It exhibited a remarkable similarity to the ones on postcards.
7. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. Dala Horses: Carved from happiness
B. Dala Horses: A Swedish Artistic Wonder
C. Discovering the Beauty of Dala Horses’ Patterns
D. The History and Making of Dala Horses in Sweden
C
New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing. “While it may seem obvious that individual taste matters in judgments of poetry, we found certain factors consistently influence how much a poem will be enjoyed.”
Aesthetics (美学), the basis of what we find appealing or not, play an important role in our everyday lives. However, little is known about how we make these judgments. The researchers sought to answer an age-old question — “Why do we like what we like?” — by measuring what we find aesthetically pleasing in poetry.
To do this, the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems. After reading each poem, participants answered questions about the poem’s vividness (“How vivid is the imagery evoked from this poem?”), emotional arousal (“How relaxing or stimulating is this poem?”), emotional valence (“How positive or negative is the content of this poem?”), and aesthetic appeal (“How enjoyable or aesthetically appealing did you find this poem?”).
Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing. Emotional valence also predicted aesthetic appeal, though to a lesser extent; specifically, poems that were found to be more positive were generally found to be more appealing. By contrast, emotional arousal did not have a clear relationship to aesthetic appeal.
“The vividness of a poem consistently predicted its aesthetic appeal,” notes Starr, author of Feeling Beauty: The Neuroscience of Aesthetic Experience. “Therefore, it seems that vividness of mental imagery may be a key factor influencing what we like more broadly.” “While limited to poetry,” she adds, “our work sheds light into which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”
8. What did the researchers ask the participants to do?
A. Evaluate poems of haiku and sonnet. B. Write the aesthetic appeal of poems.
C. Explain factors of emotional valence. D. Ask questions about the poem’s vividness.
9. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 4?
A. Poems with more negative content are more appealing.
B. Emotional arousal is negatively related to aesthetic appeal.
C. Emotional valence is the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal.
D Vividness of mental imagery has the strongest connection with aesthetic appeal.
10. What can be inferred from Starr’s words?
A. The research will help explore aesthetic judgments in other fields.
B. The finding of vividness being a key factor is only applicable to poetry.
C. Emotional valence should be further studied in the context of other art forms.
D. The research has little value for understanding aesthetic judgments in other areas.
11. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce different types of poems. B. To discuss the importance of aesthetics.
C. To show the findings of aesthetic appeal. D. To persuade people to admire the poems.
D
Taking antioxidant supplements such as vitamins C and E might make lung cancers grow bigger and spread by stimulating the formation of blood vessels within tumours (肿瘤), according to a study in mice.
One researcher involved has said that people with the condition shouldn’t try to avoid these antioxidants in their diet, but getting more than they need via supplements could cause harm. Martin Bergö at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and his colleagues previously found that supplementing with the antioxidants vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine caused lung cancers to spread in mice.
To better understand how this might occur, Bergö and a different team of researchers studied mice with a specific form of lung cancer and mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells. They supplemented the mice’s water with vitamin C, which the animals naturally yield, and vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine, which they get from their diet.
The researchers gave the mice increasing amounts of these antioxidants, which made the levels of these antioxidants in the mice higher than what was necessary. “Today in society, a lot of people eat healthily. They have some supplements, and then they also consume other antioxidant-rich foods like ginger shots and smoothies,” says Bergö, “If you do all that, you could end up with the levels of doses — too much — that we’ re talking about.”
The researchers found that the higher the antioxidant doses, the greater the rate of blood vessel formation in the tumours. This was true for mice with the specific lung cancer and those with implanted human cancer cells. Increased blood vessel growth would probably lead to tumours growing and spreading, says Bergö, but they didn’t study this.
Bergö has stressed that people with any form of cancer shouldn’t change their diet on the basis of this research. “If you took away all the antioxidants in food, you would get sick for a range of reasons, such as vitamin deficiencies, and this would influence the cancer,” he says, “We’re focusing on increased doses above the required levels.”
12. What is the effect of antioxidant supplements on lung cancer?
A. They help to reduce the risk of lung cancer.
B. They have little significant impact on lung cancer.
C. They prevent the formation of blood vessels in tumors.
D. They may cause the growth and spread of lung cancer.
13. What does the underlined word “yield” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Digest. B. Compose. C. Construct. D. Produce.
14. How did the researchers study antioxidants on mice with lung cancer?
A. By implanting human cells only. B. By varying the antioxidant doses.
C. By comparing specific antioxidants. D. By keeping antioxidant doses fixed.
15. What does Bergö emphasize about the antioxidants in cancer patients’ diets?
A. Antioxidants should be completely avoided.
B. High doses of antioxidants can directly cause cancer.
C. Antioxidants are necessary but their doses should be controlled.
D. The study’s results should be used in adjusting the patients’ diets.

In the peaceful town of Elmsville, surrounded by gentle hills, there stood a distinctive bookshop named Whispers of Wisdom. The owner of the shop, Mr. Samuel, had been selling books for 58 years. Every day, he personally selected books, hoping to light up a passion for reading in anyone who entered.
When numerous other bookshops closed due to the influence of the internet, Whispers of Wisdom remained open. Mr. Samuel was well aware that his shop was the heart of Elmsville, a place where people could chat casually and share their hopes and dreams over a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Every morning, regardless of whether it was rainy or sunny, Mr. Samuel would arrive at the shop, unlocking the door with a sense of mission and pride. He would go through his routine: brewing a pot of fragrant coffee, tidying the shelves carefully and creating a pleasant atmosphere with soft and soothing music. After arranging the books, he anticipated the arrival of the day’s first visitors.
One day, a college student named Emma entered the shop, with slumped shoulders and downcast eyes. She sighed deeply, holding her manuscript tightly to her chest. Mr. Samuel, noticing her worry, offered her a cup of coffee to ease her burden and listened to her troubles. She said she devoted all her efforts and energy to writing her book, but her book had been mercilessly rejected many times. Despite the numerous obstacles, she kept going with the hope that someday someone would recognize the value of her work.
Mr. Samuel listened attentively, his eyes reflecting a mixture of empathy and understanding. He knew well the struggles faced by writers in the creative process. As Emma finished sharing her story, he was at a loss as to how to comfort her with mere words. Suddenly, his eyes fell upon an old, leather-bound book titled A Writer’s Journey. Cautiously, he pulled it from the shelf and handed it to Emma, as if presenting a precious treasure.
注意:
(1)续写词数应为150个左右;
(2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
Then, Mr. Samuel began to share the stories behind the book.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Going back to school, Emma took up the pen again.

Dala horses, the brightly painted wooden horses, with their complex patterns, come from the Dalarna region and date back to the 1600s. Originally carved as toys, they gradually became the symbols of Swedish tradition over time.
That was my first learning about Dala horses from a book on Swedish culture. While I didn’t fully understand the deeper meaning at that time, I was immediately drawn to their charm and uniqueness. When I was younger, I remember how excited I was when my parents took me to a craft workshop. I had seen these colorful horses in many places — on postcards, at the zoo and even in shops. But this time, I was going to create one myself.
The process was so much fun! First, we started with a small wooden block. We used carving tools to carefully shape the wood into a horse. It was a bit tricky at first, and my hands were so shaky, but as I kept carving, the shape of the horse slowly started to appear. Once we were done carving, it was time to paint! I felt like an artist as I painted tiny flowers and swirls (旋涡) on its body. My horse was not perfect, but it felt like a masterpiece to me!
I still remember how proud I felt holding the finished horse. Its patterns, painted in bright red, blue and yellow, looked like the Dala horses I had seen before. My parents told me that the colors and designs meant something special, and I could tell this little wooden horse had a bigger meaning than just being a decoration.
Years later, I still have that Dala horse in my room. It’s a reminder of that wonderful day and my connection to Swedish traditions. The Dala horse is more than a piece of art — it’s a symbol of history, culture, and cherished memories.
4. Which is the true statement about the Dala horse?
A. It was originally used as a decoration.
B. It came from the Swedish region of Dalarna.
C. It originated from a famous book in Swedish culture.
D. It is a modern invention inspired by traditional wooden toys.
5. How did the author feel when he first learned about the Dala horse?
A. Indifferent. B. Confused. C. Fascinated. D. Skeptical.
6. Why did the author like his Dala horse so much?
A. His parents spoke highly of his remarkable carving skills.
B It served as a reminder of his bond with Swedish traditions.
C. It approached an ideal state of perfection in form and detail.
D. It exhibited a remarkable similarity to the ones on postcards.

New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing. “While it may seem obvious that individual taste matters in judgments of poetry, we found certain factors consistently influence how much a poem will be enjoyed.”
Aesthetics (美学), the basis of what we find appealing or not, play an important role in our everyday lives. However, little is known about how we make these judgments. The researchers sought to answer an age-old question — “Why do we like what we like?” — by measuring what we find aesthetically pleasing in poetry.
To do this, the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems. After reading each poem, participants answered questions about the poem’s vividness (“How vivid is the imagery evoked from this poem?”), emotional arousal (“How relaxing or stimulating is this poem?”), emotional valence (“How positive or negative is the content of this poem?”), and aesthetic appeal (“How enjoyable or aesthetically appealing did you find this poem?”).
Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing. Emotional valence also predicted aesthetic appeal, though to a lesser extent; specifically, poems that were found to be more positive were generally found to be more appealing. By contrast, emotional arousal did not have a clear relationship to aesthetic appeal.
“The vividness of a poem consistently predicted its aesthetic appeal,” notes Starr, author of Feeling Beauty: The Neuroscience of Aesthetic Experience. “Therefore, it seems that vividness of mental imagery may be a key factor influencing what we like more broadly.” “While limited to poetry,” she adds, “our work sheds light into which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”
8. What did the researchers ask the participants to do?
A. Evaluate poems of haiku and sonnet. B. Write the aesthetic appeal of poems.
C. Explain factors of emotional valence. D. Ask questions about the poem’s vividness.
9. Which of the following is true according to paragraph 4?
A. Poems with more negative content are more appealing.
B. Emotional arousal is negatively related to aesthetic appeal.
C. Emotional valence is the most important predictor of aesthetic appeal.
D. Vividness of mental imagery has the strongest connection with aesthetic appeal.
10. What can be inferred from Starr’s words?
A. The research will help explore aesthetic judgments in other fields.
B. The finding of vividness being a key factor is only applicable to poetry.
C. Emotional valence should be further studied in the context of other art forms.
D. The research has little value for understanding aesthetic judgments in other areas.
11. What is the main purpose of this passage?
A. To introduce different types of poems. B. To discuss the importance of aesthetics.
C. To show the findings of aesthetic appeal. D. To persuade people to admire the poems.
【答案】8. A 9. D 10. A 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新的心理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有美学吸引力的因素。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“To do this, the team had more than 400 participants read and rate poems of two genres — haiku and sonnet — with the aim of understanding the factors that best predicted the aesthetic appeal of the poems.(为了做到这一点,研究小组让400多名参与者阅读并评价两种类型的诗歌——俳句和十四行诗,目的是了解哪些因素最能预测诗歌的美学吸引力)”可知,研究人员要求参与者评价俳句和十四行诗。故选A项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“Their results showed that vividness of mental imagery was the best predictor of aesthetic appeal — poems that evoked greater imagery were more pleasing.(他们的研究结果表明,心理意象的生动性是审美吸引力的最佳预测指标 —— 能唤起更多意象的诗歌更令人愉悦)”可知,心理意象的生动性与美学吸引力有着最强的联系。故选D项。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中Starr的话““While limited to poetry,” she adds, “our work sheds light into which facts most influence our aesthetic judgments and paves the way for future research investigating how we make such judgments in other fields.”(“虽然仅限于诗歌,”她补充说,“但我们的工作揭示了哪些事实最影响我们的美学判断,并为未来研究我们在其他领域如何做出这样的判断铺平了道路。”)”可知,从Starr的话中可以推断出,这项研究将有助于探索其他领域的美学判断。故选A项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,结合第一段“New psychology research points to the factors that explain why we find particular poems aesthetically pleasing.(新的心理学研究指出了为什么我们觉得某些诗歌具有美学吸引力的因素)”可知,文章开篇指出新的心理学研究指出了人们觉得某些诗歌具有审美吸引力的因素,接着介绍了研究过程和研究发现,最后说明研究的意义,所以文章的主要目的是展示关于审美吸引力的研究发现。故选C项。
D
Taking antioxidant supplements such as vitamins C and E might make lung cancers grow bigger and spread by stimulating the formation of blood vessels within tumours (肿瘤), according to a study in mice.
One researcher involved has said that people with the condition shouldn’t try to avoid these antioxidants in their diet, but getting more than they need via supplements could cause harm. Martin Bergö at the Karolinska Institute in Sweden and his colleagues previously found that supplementing with the antioxidants vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine caused lung cancers to spread in mice.
To better understand how this might occur, Bergö and a different team of researchers studied mice with a specific form of lung cancer and mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells. They supplemented the mice’s water with vitamin C, which the animals naturally yield, and vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine, which they get from their diet.
The researchers gave the mice increasing amounts of these antioxidants, which made the levels of these antioxidants in the mice higher than what was necessary. “Today in society, a lot of people eat healthily. They have some supplements, and then they also consume other antioxidant-rich foods like ginger shots and smoothies,” says Bergö, “If you do all that, you could end up with the levels of doses — too much — that we’ re talking about.”
The researchers found that the higher the antioxidant doses, the greater the rate of blood vessel formation in the tumours. This was true for mice with the specific lung cancer and those with implanted human cancer cells. Increased blood vessel growth would probably lead to tumours growing and spreading, says Bergö, but they didn’t study this.
Bergö has stressed that people with any form of cancer shouldn’t change their diet on the basis of this research. “If you took away all the antioxidants in food, you would get sick for a range of reasons, such as vitamin deficiencies, and this would influence the cancer,” he says, “We’re focusing on increased doses above the required levels.”
12. What is the effect of antioxidant supplements on lung cancer?
A. They help to reduce the risk of lung cancer.
B. They have little significant impact on lung cancer.
C. They prevent the formation of blood vessels in tumors.
D. They may cause the growth and spread of lung cancer.
13. What does the underlined word “yield” in paragraph 3 mean?
A. Digest. B. Compose. C. Construct. D. Produce.
14. How did the researchers study antioxidants on mice with lung cancer?
A. By implanting human cells only. B. By varying the antioxidant doses.
C. By comparing specific antioxidants. D. By keeping antioxidant doses fixed.
15. What does Bergö emphasize about the antioxidants in cancer patients’ diets?
A. Antioxidants should be completely avoided.
B. High doses of antioxidants can directly cause cancer.
C. Antioxidants are necessary but their doses should be controlled.
D. The study’s results should be used in adjusting the patients’ diets.
【答案】12 D 13. D 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一项关于抗氧化剂补充剂对肺癌影响的研究。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段“Taking antioxidant supplements such as vitamins C and E might make lung cancers grow bigger and spread by stimulating the formation of blood vessels within tumours (肿瘤), according to a study in mice.(一项小鼠研究显示,服用维生素C和E等抗氧化剂补充剂可能会通过刺激肿瘤内血管的形成,使肺癌生长得更大并发生扩散)”可知,抗氧化剂补充剂可能会导致肺癌的生长和扩散。故选D项。
【13题详解】
词句猜测题。划线词所在句中“vitamin C, which the animals naturally yield (生素C,动物自然yield)”和“vitamin E and N-acetylcysteine, which they get from their diet (维生素E和N-乙酰半胱氨酸,从饮食中获取)”是对比关系,说明维生素E和N-乙酰半胱氨酸是从饮食中获取,而生素C是动物自然产生。故划线词yield意思是“产生”,与D项Produce同义。故选D项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中“The researchers gave the mice increasing amounts of these antioxidants, which made the levels of these antioxidants in the mice higher than what was necessary.(研究人员给老鼠增加了这些抗氧化剂的用量,这使得老鼠体内这些抗氧化剂的水平高于必要水平)”可知,研究人员是通过改变抗氧化剂的剂量来研究抗氧化剂对肺癌小鼠的影响的。故选B项。
【15题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“Bergö has stressed that people with any form of cancer shouldn’t change their diet on the basis of this research. ‘If you took away all the antioxidants in food, you would get sick for a range of reasons, such as vitamin deficiencies, and this would influence the cancer,’ he says, ‘We’re focusing on increased doses above the required levels.’(Bergö强调,任何形式的癌症患者都不应该根据这项研究改变他们的饮食。‘如果你去掉食物中所有的抗氧化剂,你会因为一系列原因而生病,比如维生素缺乏,这会影响癌症,’他说,‘我们关注的是超过所需水平的剂量增加。’)”可知,Bergö强调抗氧化剂是必要的,但应该控制其剂量。故选C项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了中国传统医学实践——针灸的起源、原理、作用以及好处。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在现代医学出现之前,中国古代人使用石器来缓解疼痛。use...to do...是固定搭配,意为“使用……来做……”,用不定式作目的状语。故填to relieve。
【37题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:针灸的作用是通过改善生命力量能量(中医称为“气”)从身体主要器官到皮肤、肌肉、肌腱、骨骼和关节等身体组织的顺畅流动来实现的。“(know) in Chinese as qi”作后置定语,know(将……称为)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语life force energy之间是被动关系,用过去分词表被动。故填known。
【38题详解】
考查时态语态和主谓一致。句意:“气”从器官流向组织的通道被称为经络,大多数针灸穴位就位于经络上。call(给……命名,称呼)是谓语动词,与主语The channels之间是被动关系,陈述客观事实用一般现在时的被动语态,主语是复数句词,谓语用复数。故填are called。
【39题详解】
考查副词。句意:换句话说,针灸的作用是修复我们身体基础结构的损伤,以确保生命力量能量“气”能够顺畅流动。提示词修饰动词flow,用副词smoothly作状语,意为“顺畅地”。故填smoothly。

【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:针灸也被用于治疗滥用酒精、烟草或药物的人。“ abuse alcohol, tobacco or drugs”为限定性定语从句,修饰先行词people,指人,且先行词在从句中作主语,故用关系代词who或that引导从句。故填who/that。
【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:针灸的好处有时很难衡量,但许多人发现它作为一种控制一系列疼痛状况的手段是很有帮助的。可数名词means在句中表示“一种手段”,泛指,且means是发音以辅音音素开头的单词,应用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:针灸几乎没有什么副作用,所以如果你用更传统的方法难以缓解身体不适,那么针灸值得一试。名词effect作宾语,意为“作用”,有限定词few修饰,用复数形式。故填effects。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:针灸几乎没有什么副作用,所以如果你用更传统的方法难以缓解身体不适,那么针灸值得一试。have trouble (in) doing sth.是固定短语,表示“做某事有困难”,用动名词作宾语。故填easing。

【答案】One possible version:
Dear Editor,
I am Li Hua, a high school student. Lately, I’ve noticed a disturbing trend that a lack of physical exercise is becoming increasingly severe, leading to poor health issues among my peers.
There are two major causes for this phenomenon. To begin with, the students are buried in their studies, ignoring the equal importance of doing exercise. Besides, many students often get addicted to electronic devices such as smartphones and tablets in their spare time. To address this problem, I propose that students should raise the awareness of keeping fit and balance the time between study and exercise to ensure sufficient time for outdoor activities. what’s more, it is crucial for parents to supervise their children’s use of electronic devices.
It’s high time that we worked together to encourage senior high students to work out.
Yours,
Li Hua

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。
In the peaceful town of Elmsville, surrounded by gentle hills, there stood a distinctive bookshop named Whispers of Wisdom. The owner of the shop, Mr. Samuel, had been selling books for 58 years. Every day, he personally selected books, hoping to light up a passion for reading in anyone who entered.
When numerous other bookshops closed due to the influence of the internet, Whispers of Wisdom remained open. Mr. Samuel was well aware that his shop was the heart of Elmsville, a place where people could chat casually and share their hopes and dreams over a cup of freshly brewed coffee.
Every morning, regardless of whether it was rainy or sunny, Mr. Samuel would arrive at the shop, unlocking the door with a sense of mission and pride. He would go through his routine: brewing a pot of fragrant coffee, tidying the shelves carefully and creating a pleasant atmosphere with soft and soothing music. After arranging the books, he anticipated the arrival of the day’s first visitors.
One day, a college student named Emma entered the shop, with slumped shoulders and downcast eyes. She sighed deeply, holding her manuscript tightly to her chest. Mr. Samuel, noticing her worry, offered her a cup of coffee to ease her burden and listened to her troubles. She said she devoted all her efforts and energy to writing her book, but her book had been mercilessly rejected many times. Despite the numerous obstacles, she kept going with the hope that someday someone would recognize the value of her work.
Mr. Samuel listened attentively, his eyes reflecting a mixture of empathy and understanding. He knew well the struggles faced by writers in the creative process. As Emma finished sharing her story, he was at a loss as to how to comfort her with mere words. Suddenly, his eyes fell upon an old, leather-bound book titled A Writer’s Journey. Cautiously, he pulled it from the shelf and handed it to Emma, as if presenting a precious treasure.
注意:

Then, Mr. Samuel began to share the stories behind the book.

【答案】Then, Mr. Samuel began to share the stories behind the book. He explained that it was a collection of essays written by famous authors, detailing their own struggles and triumphs on the path to publication. “Every writer faces rejection,” he said gently. “But what sets them apart is their perseverance and belief in their work.” He encouraged Emma to read the stories, hoping they would inspire her to keep pursuing her dream. Emma listened intently, feeling a glimmer of hope ignite within her. She thanked Mr. Samuel warmly and promised to read the book carefully.
Going back to school, Emma took up the pen again. With renewed determination, she dived into her writing, letting the stories in A Writer’s Journey guide her. Whenever she felt discouraged, she would recall Mr. Samuel’s words and the wisdom of the authors in the book. Months passed, and Emma’s hard work paid off. Her book was finally accepted by a publisher. Emma was overjoyed and rushed to Whispers of Wisdom to share the news with Mr. Samuel. Together, they celebrated her success.
