Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital responsibility of protect g his family’s cattle from predators (捕食者). He recognized the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock (牲畜), which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition. Lion population in Africa is estimated to have declined by 43% in the past 20 years. Many lions are killed to stop them from eating precious livestock, significantly impacting the lion population, the area’s biodiversity and tourism. Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. With changing sequences (序列) of flashing lights which are fixed on fences, the lions can hot become comfortable with the patters and are discouraged from hunting livestock. As word of Turere’s technology and its success spread, other community members began requesting the system for their properties, and now over 2, 000 homes in Kenya use Lion Lights. The system typically runs on solar energy but can also be coupled with wind power when the weather is cloudy or there is little sun. In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organization, which now cooperates with more than 50 young people in his native village. Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. His invention has been adopted in several other countries. “I want this story to inspire the young kids so that they too can do something. Anyone can make it. Anyone can change this world”, says Turere. 39. Why Turere invented Lion Lights? A. To win an award. B. To protect livestock. C. To maintain lion population. D. To shoulder family responsibility. 40. How does the Lion Lights system work? A. It controls electric fences to trap lions. B. It operates on a single energy source. C. It patterns the human existence using lights. D. It uses strong flashing lights to scare lions away. 41. Which of the following best describes Turere? A. Creative and devoted. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Brave and disciplined D. Ambitious and outgoing. 42. In which column can the text be found in a newspaper? A. People. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Politics. 【答案】39. B 40. C 41. A 42.

As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital responsibility of protect g his family’s cattle from predators(捕食者). He recognized the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock(牲畜), which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition. (Turere在11岁时发明了狮子灯系统。作为马赛的一个小男孩，Turere被赋予了保护家里的牛免受捕食者袭击的重要责任。他认识到需要一种解决方案来防止狮子和其他捕食者攻击牲畜，这促使他开发了创新的光系统，该系统已获得全球认可。)”可知，Turere发明了狮子灯系统是为了防止狮子和其他捕食者攻击牲畜。故选B。 【40题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. (Turere的发明被称为“狮子灯”，它基于一个简单的概念：在视觉上再现让狮子远离的人类存在。)”可知，“狮子灯”利用光来塑造人类存在的模式。故选C。 【41题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The European Patent Office (EPO) on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023.

Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. (2013年，Turere创立了Lion Lights组织，该组织目前与他家乡村庄的50多名年轻人合作。Turere的奉献和足智多谋引起了国际社会的关注。)”可知，Turere创立了Lion Lights组织帮助其他村民，所以他是一个很有奉献精神的人。故选A。 【42题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“The European Patent Office (EPO) on 4th July 2023 announced that Maasai inventor, Richard Turere, won first place in the Young Inventor Prize at the European Inventor Award 2023.

It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life, but understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help. Scientists have looked at what makes us distract and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. One of the most obvious things is eliminating noise. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration. It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand. Another possible cure for a short attention span (持续时间) is brain training. Psychologists are increasingly interested in our ability to get down to business and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nili Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer. There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focused. These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you’re not tempted to do other things, or chewing some gum! It’s possible the movement in your mouth occupies parts of the brain that might otherwise get distracted. But according to Science Focus magazine, “if we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.” 43. What do the underlined words “stay in the zone” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Stay focused. B. Keep steady. C. Stay calm. D. Be careful. 44. How can we extend attention span? A. To do visual task. B. To make the task easier. C. To train processing distraction. D. To keep your mind busy. 45. What information does the last paragraph convey? A. It’s hard to get rid of distraction. B. Distraction isn’t all bad. C. Staying focused can avoid dangers. D. Being sensitive to changes is important. 46. Why does the author write this passage? A. To discuss the phenomenon of daydreaming. B. To show the harm of distraction. C. To offer help in keeping concentrated. D. To introduce the newest study results. 【答案】43. A 44. D 45. B 46. C 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一些帮助我们保持专注的方法。 【43题详解】 词句猜测题。根据画线短语下文“One of the most obvious things is eliminating noise. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration.”（最明显的事情之一是消除噪音。《科学焦点》杂志的研究发现，沉默最有利于注意力的集中。）可知，下文介绍了保持专注的方法之一是消除噪音，由此可知，画线单词所在句指的是科学家们找到了一些方法来帮助我们保持专注，方法之一是消除噪音，“Stay focused”意为“保持专注”，能够表达画线短语在句中所要表达的意思。故选A项。 【44题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段关键句“Another possible cure for a short attention span (持续时间) is brain training.”（另一种可能治疗注意力持续时间短的方法是大脑训练。）和“So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer.”（因此，让你的大脑保持忙碌可能是答案。）可知，治疗注意力持续时间短的方法是大脑训练。我们可以通过让大脑保持忙碌状态来延长注意力持续时间，由此可知，延长注意力持续时间的方法是让你的大脑忙碌起来。故选D项。 【45题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容“But according to Science Focus magazine, “if we were always so focused that we never got distracted, we’d miss potential changes, such as threats, in our environment. Distraction is vital for survival.””（但据《科学聚焦》杂志称，“如果我们总是如此专注，以至于从不分心，我们就会错过环境中的潜在变化，例如威胁。分心对生存至关重要。”）可知，分心可以让我们意识到环境中的潜在变化，例如威胁，这对生存至关重要，由此可知，最后一段内容告诉我们分心并不全是坏事，分心可以让我们意识到环境中的潜在变化，对生存至关重要。故选B项。 【46题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段关键句“One of the most obvious things is eliminating noise. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration.”（最明显的事情之一是消除噪音。《科学焦点》杂志的研究发现，沉默最有利于注意力的集中。）、第三段关键句“Another possible cure for a short attention span (持续时间) is brain training.”（另一种可能治疗注意力持续时间短的方法是大脑训练。）和第四段关键句“There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focused.”（关于保持注意力集中，还有更多实用的技巧。）可知，文章主要介绍了一些帮助我们保持专注的方法，例如消除噪音和大脑训练等，由此可知，作者写这篇文章的目的是帮助我们保持注意力集中。故选C项。 Joshua Nelson, 18, from Missouri, is graduating from St. Charles West High School this week and will be attending Southeast Missouri State in the fall. He had saved up money to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's President's Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need. “It comes from my family education and faith," Nelson said. "I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver and having an open hand when it comes to giving back so I feel like that really motivated me.” SEMO's President's Scholarship is the school’s most celebrated, and is only awarded to five top students annually. Nelson said he sat down and outlined how a scholarship could work to help future students who need financial assistance for college. Originally the plan was to give away $ 1,000 the one time, but then he met up with his counselor (顾问), Yolanda Curry, to work out a game plan. “I wasn't expecting it at all!” Curry said. "He told me he had a great idea and wanted to share it with me. I could tell he was really excited. Nelson, in association with his high school, set up the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund. Each year, $1,000 will be awarded to a senior. The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. The first scholarship was awarded on June 1 to Darrell Montalvo-Luna. As the first recipient, his scholarship was $2,000. “Joshua has the heart of a servant leader. He leads by example and he's genuinely excited when good things happen for other people," Curry said.

(他决定拿出积蓄，把它捐给其他学生)”和第二段“I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver (我一直有着坚定的人生原则，那就是做一个快乐的回报社会的人)”可知，划线词组与“慷慨大方”意思接近。故选C项。 【49题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“I wasn’t expecting it at all!

(这些钱来自人们的捐款，目前以达到16000美元，并且据校方最近一次统计已达到17435美元。有了足够的钱作为奖学金基金。这些钱足够在10年中每年颁发一次)”可知，名为约书亚·纳尔逊行动领袖奖学金基金运转非常良好。故选D项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2. 5分，满分12. 5分） What do Gladys, Ruby and Logan all have in common? Well, they are all names of storms. ____51____ Here’s everything you need to know. Why are storms named? ____52____ It’s simply to make people more aware when severe weather is on the way, with the idea being you’ll hear the name and you’ll know serious wind, rain or snow is coming. That way, people are better placed to keep themselves and their property safe. ____53____ A name is given when a storm is expected to cause medium or high impacts, or in weather-speak (气候语言), has the potential to cause an amber or red warning. ____54____ So scientists believe that naming storms helps raise awareness of the impacts of severe weather and ensures clarity (清晰) for the public when they need it most. How are the names chosen? The Met Office asks the public to suggest possible names and a new list is published every year. The lists are alphabetical (按字母顺序排列的), with names alternating between male and female. Bad news is if your name begins with Q, U, X, Y or Z, you’re never going to get a storm named after you. ____55____ In the US, hurricanes are often given clear and simple names, alphabetically as well. A. When is a storm named? B. But how do storms get their names? C. There’s quite a logical explanation for naming a storm. D. The practice is to avoid a conflict with US hurricane naming traditions. E. Giving storms names is one way to keep the public informed of potential risks. F. These warnings are issued for things like rain, wind, snow, ice, fog and extreme heat. G.

D 【解析】 【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要介绍了美国的风暴是如何命名的及为什么要为风暴命名。 【51题详解】 根据上文“What do Gladys, Ruby and Logan all have in common? Well, they are all names of storms. (格拉迪斯、鲁比和洛根都有什么共同点？嗯，它们都是风暴的名字。)”可知，上文列举了一些风暴的名称；根据下文“Why are storms named? (为什么命名风暴？)”和“How are the names chosen? (如何选择名称？)”可知，下文介绍了如何为风暴命名，B项意为“但是风暴是如何命名的呢？”选项能够承接上文且能够引起下文，下文介绍的正是风暴是如何命名的。故选B。 【52题详解】 根据下文“It’s simply to make people more aware when severe weather is on the way, with the idea being you’ll hear the name and you’ll know serious wind, rain or snow is coming. (这只是为了让人们在恶劣天气即将来临时更加意识到这一点，目的是让你听到这个名字，你就会知道大风、雨或雪即将来临。)”可知，下文介绍了为什么要为风暴命名，C项意为“命名风暴有一个很合理的解释。”选项能够引起下文，命名风暴有一个很合理的解释，下文正是对合理解释的具体阐述。故选C。 【53题详解】 根据下文“A name is given when a storm is expected to cause medium or high impacts, or in weather-speak (气候语言), has the potential to cause an amber or red warning. (当风暴预计会造成中度或高度影响时，或在气候语言下，可能会导致琥珀色或红色警报时，会给出一个名称。)”可知，本段内容主要介绍的是什么时候需要为风暴命名，A项意为“何时为风暴命名？”选项能够概括段落主旨，下文是具体解释了什么时候需要为风暴命。故选A。 【54题详解】 根据下文“So scientists believe that naming storms helps raise awareness of the impacts of severe weather and ensures clarity (清晰) for the public when they need it most. (因此，科学家认为，命名风暴有助于提高人们对恶劣天气影响的认识，并确保公众在最需要了解风暴的时候能够清晰地了解风暴。)”可知，下文告诉我们命名风暴有助于提高人们对恶劣天气影响的认识，F项意为“这些警告针对雨、风、雪、冰、雾和酷热等情况发布。”选项内容与下文构成因果关系，正是因为这些警告是针对雨、风、雪、冰、雾和酷热等恶劣的天气情况发布的，所以有助于提高人们对恶劣天气影响的认识。故选F。 【55题详解】 根据上文“Bad news is if your name begins with Q, U, X, Y or Z, you’re never going to get a storm named after you. (坏消息是，如果你的名字以Q、U、X、Y或Z开头，你永远不会得到你命名的风暴。)”可知，下文告诉我们风暴的名称不会以Q、U、X、Y或Z开头，D项意为“这种做法是为了避免与美国飓风命名传统发生冲突。”选项内容能够承接上文，之所以风暴的名称不会以Q、U、X、Y或Z开头，是为了避免与美国飓风命名传统发生冲突。故选D。 第四部分 语法填空（共10小题；每小题1. 5分，满分15分） 阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。 Chinese people ____56____ (appreciate) the beauty of lanterns since the Eastern Han Dynasty.

My roommate, Alex, welcomed me with a half-hearted smile. We exchanged pleasantries (寒暄), but something felt strange. Maybe it was the way Alex’s eyes looked around the room, sizing me up. Or perhaps it was just the tension (紧张局面) that hung in the air. Alex and I were as different as storms and sunny days. I was an early riser, while Alex burned the midnight oil. I preferred a tidy space, while Alex kept things everywhere. Our disagreements grew from the dirty floor to late-night music. One evening, after a long tiring day of classes, I returned to find my favorite cup broken on the kitchen floor. Alex stood there, looking guilty (内疚的). I felt very unhappy and started shouting at Alex. Words flew like arrows (箭), hurting each other’s feelings. Hate and anger filled the room. “I can’t take this anymore!” I shouted, and then hurried out of the dormitory, leaving Alex alone. Days turned into weeks, and Alex and I continued to be like strangers sharing the same space. I dealt with my studies and spent more time outside the dorm. Alex, on the other hand, seemed to stay in his own world. We almost had no communication with each other. But then, one rainy afternoon, I found Alex sitting on his bed, looking out of the window. His eyes were red. “Look, Alex began, “I know we’re different. But maybe we can find a middle ground.” Then he handed me a fresh cup of tea. “For the broken cup,” he said. I accepted it, touched by his friendliness. “And for the sleepless nights,” I agreed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 We started small. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The real turning point came when Alex fell ill. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 We started small. Although we had different habits and different lifestyles, we were trying to work together. After Alex offered me a fresh cup of tea, I forgave him for his behavior, too. He was also trying to adjust his schedule, and we eventually found the middle ground, where two of us stayed out of each other’s way. Although our relationship was still relatively stiff, at least there was no conflict. The real turning point came when Alex fell ill. It was a rainy night, and Alex suddenly had a fever. He was lying in bed in pain, coughing. Seeing him like this, I greeted him with great concern, “Are you okay? Alex, do you want me to go to the hospital with you?” He said that it didn’t matter, but later he was in a coma with a high fever. I was very worried, so I took him to the hospital and accompanied him to see the doctor. The next morning, he woke up and he looked at me. He said he was sorry because we had so many misunderstandings and conflicts before and hoped that we could get along well. He also thanked me for taking care of him last night. I replied that it didn’t matter. Later we became good friends. Through this incident, also learned the importance of tolerance and patience. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了当我进入大学一年级时，我与室友亚历克斯的生活习惯不同，导致我们相处的并不愉快。一次，他不小心打碎了我心爱的杯子，导致了我们矛盾的爆发，我们发生争吵，不再和彼此交流。一天，亚历克斯给了我一个新杯子，并向我道歉，我决定原谅他并尝试与他和谐相处。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“我们从小处着手。”可知，第一段可描写为了和谐相处，我们做出了怎样的努力。 ②由第二段首句内容“真正的转折点出现在亚历克斯生病的时候。”可知，第二段可描写我们的友谊发生了怎样的变化及我的感悟。 2.续写线索：尝试和谐相处——相处融洽——亚历克斯生病——我的帮助——亚历克斯很感动——成为真正的朋友——我的感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①试着做某事：try to do/attempt to do ②提供：offer/provide ③照顾：take care of/look after 情绪类 ①担心的：worried/concerned ②抱歉的：sorry/regretful 【点睛】[高分句型1] He was also trying to adjust his schedule, and we eventually found the middle ground, where two of us stayed out of each other’s way.（运用了where引导的非限制性定语从句） [高分句型2].

Groundstate Cafe Sitting in the heart of the city, Groundstate Cafe is always recommended by news reporters. You can easily enjoy a carefree day with a book and a cup of coffee. Groundstate is a popular spot for artists because of the ancient paintings collected by the shop owner. The waiters are always ready to help you. Le Procope Located on a downtown street, Le Procope is famous for its enthusiastic service and delicious snacks. Office workers always chat with their friends and have fun with their colleagues. You can enjoy the fresh air and sunshine because they only have seats outdoors. As a result, the owner only runs the shop during the warm seasons. Coutume Café Situated in the city centre, Coutume Cafe is popular among businessmen to meet their clients. The cafe promotes a life of luxury with fantastic decoration and comfortable chairs. Waiters who are highly educated and elegant can help visitors choose the right type of coffee. Motors This recently-opened coffee shop is located in the countryside. They sell delicious local desserts. The waitresses there are helpful and friendly. Some of them are college students who take part-time jobs during weekends. It is also a perfect shopping market for people to buy some coffee products and taste some local delicacies. I am sure that I will bring some products to my colleagues when I return. 36.

Turere invented the Lion Lights system at age 11. As a young Maasai boy, Turere was entrusted with the vital responsibility of protect g his family’s cattle from predators (捕食者). He recognized the need for a solution to prevent lions and other predators from attacking livestock (牲畜), which led him to develop the innovative light system that has since gained global recognition. Lion population in Africa is estimated to have declined by 43% in the past 20 years. Many lions are killed to stop them from eating precious livestock, significantly impacting the lion population, the area’s biodiversity and tourism. Known as Lion Lights, Turere’s invention is based on a simple concept: visually reproducing the human presence that keeps lions away. With changing sequences (序列) of flashing lights which are fixed on fences, the lions can hot become comfortable with the patters and are discouraged from hunting livestock. As word of Turere’s technology and its success spread, other community members began requesting the system for their properties, and now over 2, 000 homes in Kenya use Lion Lights. The system typically runs on solar energy but can also be coupled with wind power when the weather is cloudy or there is little sun. In 2013, Turere founded the Lion Lights organization, which now cooperates with more than 50 young people in his native village. Turere’s commitment and resourcefulness have attracted international attention. His invention has been adopted in several other countries. “I want this story to inspire the young kids so that they too can do something. Anyone can make it. Anyone can change this world”, says Turere. 39. Why Turere invented Lion Lights? A. To win an award. B. To protect livestock. C. To maintain lion population. D. To shoulder family responsibility. 40. How does the Lion Lights system work? A. It controls electric fences to trap lions. B. It operates on a single energy source. C. It patterns the human existence using lights. D. It uses strong flashing lights to scare lions away. 41. Which of the following best describes Turere? A. Creative and devoted. B. Intelligent and generous. C. Brave and disciplined D. Ambitious and outgoing. 42. In which column can the text be found in a newspaper? A. People. B. Entertainment. C. Environment. D. Politics. When you were at school, were you ever told to stop daydreaming and concentrate? It was easy for your mind to wander if you weren’t interested in what you were learning or if you had better things to think about. Staying focused can still be a challenge in adult life, but understanding how to do it, and knowing what is distracting you, can help. Scientists have looked at what makes us distract and found a number of ways to help us stay in the zone. One of the most obvious things is eliminating noise. Research by Science Focus magazine found silence is best for concentration. It also found turning off notifications on your phone, or switching it off altogether, removes a major distraction and helps us focus on the task at hand. Another possible cure for a short attention span (持续时间) is brain training. Psychologists are increasingly interested in our ability to get down to business and have looked at what we can change inside our head to make us concentrate. An article for BBC Future by Caroline Williams says that “Attention Researcher Nili Lavie of University College London has found that making a task more visually demanding takes up more processing power and leaves the brain nothing left to process distractions.” So, keeping your mind busy might be the answer. There are more practical tips on keeping your mind focused. These include making a list or timetable of the tasks you have to do, finding a workspace where you’re not tempted to do other things, or chewing some gum!

Joshua Nelson, 18, from Missouri, is graduating from St. Charles West High School this week and will be attending Southeast Missouri State in the fall. He had saved up money to pay for his tuition, but when he received the college's President's Scholarship, he decided to take his savings and donate it to other students in need. “It comes from my family education and faith," Nelson said. "I've always lived by strong principles as far as being a cheerful giver and having an open hand when it comes to giving back so I feel like that really motivated me.” SEMO's President's Scholarship is the school’s most celebrated, and is only awarded to five top students annually. Nelson said he sat down and outlined how a scholarship could work to help future students who need financial assistance for college. Originally the plan was to give away $ 1,000 the one time, but then he met up with his counselor (顾问), Yolanda Curry, to work out a game plan. “I wasn't expecting it at all!” Curry said. "He told me he had a great idea and wanted to share it with me. I could tell he was really excited. Nelson, in association with his high school, set up the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund. Each year, $1,000 will be awarded to a senior. The money will come from donations, of which there have been $16,000 so far — for a total of $17,435 at last count, according to the school. With the money already in the fund, there's enough to give out a scholarship each year for over a decade. The first scholarship was awarded on June 1 to Darrell Montalvo-Luna. As the first recipient, his scholarship was $2,000. “Joshua has the heart of a servant leader. He leads by example and he's genuinely excited when good things happen for other people," Curry said. "He's an encouragement — he's good at building others up and does what he can to help encourage and motivate those around. 47. What did Nelson's initial donation come from? A His scholarship. B. His savings. C. His pocket money. D. His wages. 48. What does the underlined phrase "having an open hand" in paragraph 2 mean? A. Ambitious. B. Courageous. C. Generous. D. Cautious. 49. How did Curry feel when hearing Nelson's idea? A. Shocked. B. Confused. C. Excited. D. Delighted. 50. What can be inferred about the Joshua Nelson Leaders In Action Scholarship fund? A. It never supports high school students. B. It was set up more than ten years ago. C. It was founded by Nelson and Curry. D.

My roommate, Alex, welcomed me with a half-hearted smile. We exchanged pleasantries (寒暄), but something felt strange. Maybe it was the way Alex’s eyes looked around the room, sizing me up. Or perhaps it was just the tension (紧张局面) that hung in the air. Alex and I were as different as storms and sunny days. I was an early riser, while Alex burned the midnight oil. I preferred a tidy space, while Alex kept things everywhere. Our disagreements grew from the dirty floor to late-night music. One evening, after a long tiring day of classes, I returned to find my favorite cup broken on the kitchen floor. Alex stood there, looking guilty (内疚的). I felt very unhappy and started shouting at Alex. Words flew like arrows (箭), hurting each other’s feelings. Hate and anger filled the room. “I can’t take this anymore!” I shouted, and then hurried out of the dormitory, leaving Alex alone. Days turned into weeks, and Alex and I continued to be like strangers sharing the same space. I dealt with my studies and spent more time outside the dorm. Alex, on the other hand, seemed to stay in his own world. We almost had no communication with each other. But then, one rainy afternoon, I found Alex sitting on his bed, looking out of the window. His eyes were red. “Look, Alex began, “I know we’re different. But maybe we can find a middle ground.” Then he handed me a fresh cup of tea. “For the broken cup,” he said. I accepted it, touched by his friendliness. “And for the sleepless nights,” I agreed. 注意：1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在相应位置作答。 We started small. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The real turning point came when Alex fell ill. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
