There is an old saying in China that goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period”, which is in Minor (较小的) Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice (冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
Eating huangyacai
In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.
Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved (腌制的) pork, sausage and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
Eating vegetable rice
In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausage and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.

Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Chinese class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I think Chinese would be beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Chinese to order food at Chinese restaurants and reads social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school student, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by about 1. 4 billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People’s interest in Chinese is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Chinese in public and private schools, throughout the US. She said the US government had designated (指定) Chinese as an “important needs” language and provided professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for more than 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Chinese.
24. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Chinese instead of Latin?
A. Chinese was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Chinese could be helpful to his future career.
C. Chinese might help him learn more about China.
D. Chinese could enable him to study computer engineering.
25. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.
A. a slight advantage B. the outside pressure
C. a sharp voice D. an exciting quality
26. What can we learn from Marty Abbott’s words?
A. Chinese should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B. Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C. The US government’s policy helps popularize Chinese in the US.
D. Americans learn Chinese because they worry about their national security.
27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. The rising popularity of Chinese among American students.
B. The great benefits of learning Chinese for American students.
C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education.
D. The effect of Confucius Institutes on promoting Chinese in the US.
C
Scientists in South Africa have found that ceramic (瓷的) nest boxes can protect endangered African penguins from climate change.
In the past, the penguins laid eggs in holes dug into centuries-old layers of their own droppings, most of which was shipped by traders to the United Kingdom as fertilizer (肥料) in the 1800s. Since then, many penguins have nested in the open, exposing their eggs and themselves to the burning heat.
Because penguins evolved to keep heat in cold water, they can easily overheat on land. Typically, penguins leave their nests regularly to cool off in the sea. But without proper holes, this leaves their eggs unprotected. Since 1900, the African penguin population has dropped from three million to only 48,000.
Fortunately, a team of researchers seem to have found a way. Over the past years, the team has put more than 1,500 handmade ceramic nest boxes in five areas where the penguins live, including Bird Island in Algoa Bay, South Africa, which is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining African penguins. Looking like small round houses, the double-walled ceramic nests can keep African penguins cool.
“The nests are so useful,” says Welman, a zoologist, “Even if adults had to leave nests for some reason, their eggs would never be at any risk of overheating.” Christina Hagen of Bird Life South Africa, who was not part of the study, says finding effective conservation solutions is important given the decreasing population of African penguins.
The main threat to African penguins is overfishing of anchovy and sardines, the penguins’ favorite food. Scientists and conservationists are pushing the South African government to close commercial fishing around the five African penguin breeding (繁殖) colonies until populations recover. But without protection from rising temperatures, those efforts alone may not be enough. Ceramic nests could help to give these beloved penguins a fighting chance.
28. What can we learn about African penguins from the passage?
A. They well adapt to high temperatures.
B. They are mainly threatened by pollution.
C. They are suffering a lot from overheating.
D. They have a population of over three million.
29. Why is Bird Island special to African penguins?
A. There is a vast population of African penguins.
B. It enjoys the best climate for African penguins.
C. African penguins there can nest in the open.
D. There are holes for penguins to lay eggs.
30. What is the main function of the ceramic nest boxes?
A. To allow the penguins to stay cool inside.
B. To protect the penguins from being hunted.
C. To provide a place for the penguins to rest.
D. To save enough room for the adult penguins.
31. What additional measure is being proposed to protect African penguins?
A. Creating more nesting areas for the penguins.
B. Stopping people fishing where the penguins breed.
C. Introducing new species of fish for the penguins.
D. Providing man-made cooling facilities for the penguins.
D
From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passenger this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and Ae do Project—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers away to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows.
The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo, one director of GTB Roma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and institutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advantaged is indeed a kind and influential action.
32. How does the smart car window work?
A. By changing shades of colors. B. By recording the view with a camera.
C. By classifying shaking movements. D. By translating scenery into vibrations.
33. What does Federico Russo say about the technology?
A. It will have wide application. B. It will be tested across the world.
C. It will be used in schools first. D. It will understand many languages.
34. What difficulty is Ford facing?
A. Developing autonomous cars. B. Exploring their future business model.
C. Providing route information. D. Applying the technology to everyday life.
35. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A I-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views
C. Technology Makes the Blind’s Trip Enjoyable
D. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive

67. 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。
I grew up in New York City. Over the years, my family have explored many notable landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. However, the one we never attended was the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. My father worked as a baker, so purchasing tickets for six of us was considered a too high expense. How I wish I could see the show! I was always attracted by the long line of Rockettes that would dance across our television screen, so I decided I’d see the iconic show in person one day.
Then I found myself at the age of twenty-eight heading to Radio City to buy tickets to the show on Christmas day. My husband Jay was driving the car. His sister and I were sitting in the back seat. I prayed to God, just as I always did, that everything would go well.
Our plan was to park the car and head directly to the box office. After parking our car, we enjoyed the walk to Radio City. By the time we got there, there were long lines and people everywhere.
I went to wait in one of those long lines. I saw people walking away disappointed in front of me, but I told myself that it was probably too expensive or the show was at the wrong time to fit in with their plans. Finally, I reached the cashier. “Good morning,” I greeted her cheerfully. “I’d like to buy three tickets for the next show.”
“I don’t even need to look. The last seven people asked me the same thing. They’re sold out” she responded.
“OK, so how about tonight’s show?” I said.
“Um…girl, they’re sold out for this day, this week and this month. I might be able to get you in the middle of January,” she replied.
I was shocked. It was worse than I could have imagined. I stood alone in the building, not knowing what to do. I even wanted to try from the scalpers (票贩子).
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。
At that moment, a man approached me, asking me, “Are you looking for tickets?”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I looked down at the paper, wondering why he gave me the tickets for free.

There is an old saying in China that goes, “The days of the Sanjiu period are the coldest days.” “Sanjiu period”, which is in Minor (较小的) Cold, refers to the third nine-day period (the 19th to the 27th day) after the day of the Winter Solstice (冬至). There are many different customs related to Minor Cold in China.
Eating hotpot
During Minor Cold people should eat some hot food to benefit the body and defend against the cold weather. Winter is the best time to have hotpot and braised mutton with soy sauce. But it is important to notice that too much spicy food may cause health problems.
Eating huangyacai
In Tianjin, there is a custom to have huangyacai, a kind of Chinese cabbage, during Minor Cold. There are large amounts of vitamins A and B in huangyacai. As huangyacai is fresh and tender, it is fit for frying, roasting and braising.
Eating glutinous rice (糯米饭)
According to tradition, the Cantonese eat glutinous rice in the morning during Minor Cold. Cantonese people add some fried preserved (腌制的) pork, sausage and peanuts and mix them into the rice.
Eating vegetable rice
In ancient times, people in Nanjing took Minor Cold quite seriously, but as time went by, the celebration of Minor Cold gradually disappeared. However, the custom of eating vegetable rice is still followed today. The rice is steamed and is unspeakably delicious. Among the ingredients (原料), aijiaohuang (a kind of green vegetable), sausage and salted duck are the specialties in Nanjing.

Thomas Cheatham had planned to study Latin during his time at Hebron High School in Texas. But when he learned that the school district was going to offer a Chinese class, he quickly changed his mind.
“I think Chinese would be beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Chinese to order food at Chinese restaurants and reads social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school student, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career. “Chinese is a good language to know, especially with China becoming a growing power,” he said.
Many experts agree that proficiency (熟练) in a language spoken by about 1. 4 billion people worldwide will give American students an edge in the global economy.
“People’s interest in Chinese is growing fast,” said Marty Abbott, director of the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages. “We’re seeing it in all parts of the country.”
Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Chinese in public and private schools, throughout the US. She said the US government had designated (指定) Chinese as an “important needs” language and provided professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.
At the same time, the Chinese government is spreading knowledge of the Chinese language and culture through Confucius Institutes set up in many US states. For example, the Confucius Institute at the University of Texas in Dallas has been the home of a Confucius Institute for more than 10 years. It sponsors Confucius Classrooms at 21 local public and private schools, where tens of thousands of students are learning Chinese.
24. Why did Thomas Cheatham decide to study Chinese instead of Latin?
A. Chinese was easier to learn than Latin.
B. Chinese could be helpful to his future career.
C. Chinese might help him learn more about China.
D. Chinese could enable him to study computer engineering.
25. The underlined word “edge” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.
A. a slight advantage B. the outside pressure
C. a sharp voice D. an exciting quality
26. What can we learn from Marty Abbott’s words?
A. Chinese should be taught in classrooms throughout the US.
B Those skilled at Chinese will be the most competitive in the future.
C. The US government’s policy helps popularize Chinese in the US.
D. Americans learn Chinese because they worry about their national security.
27. What does the author mainly talk about in this passage?
A. The rising popularity of Chinese among American students.
B. The great benefits of learning Chinese for American students.
C. The influence of China’s growing power on American education.
D. The effect of Confucius Institutes on promoting Chinese in the US.
【答案】24. B 25. A 26. C 27. A
【解析】

【24题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““I think Chinese would be beneficial than Latin,” said Cheatham, who is now in his second year of studying the language. He speaks Chinese to order food at Chinese restaurants and reads social media posts from his Chinese-speaking friends. While it’s a difficult language to master, the high school student, who plans to study computer engineering, thinks it will be important for his career.(“我认为中文比拉丁文更有用,”现在是学习中文第二年的Cheatham说。他在中餐馆点餐时会说中文,阅读说中文的朋友在社交媒体上发的帖子。虽然这是一门很难掌握的语言,但这位计划学习计算机工程的高中生认为,这对他的职业生涯很重要)”可知,Thomas Cheatham决定学习普通话而不是拉丁语因为普通话可能对他未来的职业生涯有帮助。故选B。
【25题详解】
词句猜测题。根据倒数第二段的“Abbott predicts that as many as 100,000 students are now studying Chinese in public and private schools, throughout the US. She said the US government had designated (指定) Chinese as an “important needs” language and provided professional development programs for teachers. “Our government wants to increase our language ability for national security and economic competitiveness,” Abbott added.(Abbott预计,目前全美公立和私立学校有多达10万名学生在学习中文。她说,美国政府已将中文指定为“重要需求”语言,并为教师提供专业发展计划。“为了国家安全和经济竞争力,我们的政府希望提高我们的语言能力,”Abbott补充说)”可知, 中文是一门全世界约14亿人说的语言,许多专家认为熟练掌握中文的美国学生会在全球经济中有优势。由此可知,edge意为“(微弱的)优势”,和A选项“a slight advantage(略有优势)”意思相近。故选A。

Scientists in South Africa have found that ceramic (瓷的) nest boxes can protect endangered African penguins from climate change.
In the past, the penguins laid eggs in holes dug into centuries-old layers of their own droppings, most of which was shipped by traders to the United Kingdom as fertilizer (肥料) in the 1800s. Since then, many penguins have nested in the open, exposing their eggs and themselves to the burning heat.
Because penguins evolved to keep heat in cold water, they can easily overheat on land. Typically, penguins leave their nests regularly to cool off in the sea. But without proper holes, this leaves their eggs unprotected. Since 1900, the African penguin population has dropped from three million to only 48,000.
Fortunately, a team of researchers seem to have found a way. Over the past years, the team has put more than 1,500 handmade ceramic nest boxes in five areas where the penguins live, including Bird Island in Algoa Bay, South Africa, which is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining African penguins. Looking like small round houses, the double-walled ceramic nests can keep African penguins cool.
“The nests are so useful,” says Welman, a zoologist, “Even if adults had to leave nests for some reason, their eggs would never be at any risk of overheating.” Christina Hagen of Bird Life South Africa, who was not part of the study, says finding effective conservation solutions is important given the decreasing population of African penguins.
The main threat to African penguins is overfishing of anchovy and sardines, the penguins’ favorite food. Scientists and conservationists are pushing the South African government to close commercial fishing around the five African penguin breeding (繁殖) colonies until populations recover. But without protection from rising temperatures, those efforts alone may not be enough. Ceramic nests could help to give these beloved penguins a fighting chance.
28. What can we learn about African penguins from the passage?
A. They well adapt to high temperatures.
B. They are mainly threatened by pollution.
C. They are suffering a lot from overheating.
D. They have a population of over three million.
29. Why is Bird Island special to African penguins?
A. There is a vast population of African penguins.
B. It enjoys the best climate for African penguins.
C. African penguins there can nest in the open.
D. There are holes for penguins to lay eggs.
30. What is the main function of the ceramic nest boxes?
A. To allow the penguins to stay cool inside.
B. To protect the penguins from being hunted.
C. To provide a place for the penguins to rest.
D. To save enough room for the adult penguins.
31. What additional measure is being proposed to protect African penguins?
A. Creating more nesting areas for the penguins.
B. Stopping people fishing where the penguins breed.
C. Introducing new species of fish for the penguins.
D. Providing man-made cooling facilities for the penguins.
【答案】28. C 29. A 30. A 31. B
【解析】

【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Over the past years, the team has put more than 1,500 handmade ceramic nest boxes in five areas where the penguins live, including Bird Island in Algoa Bay, South Africa, which is home to nearly half of the world’s remaining African penguins.(在过去的几年里,该团队在企鹅生活的五个地区,包括南非Algoa Bay的Bird Island,放置了1500多个手工制作的陶瓷巢箱,那里是世界上近一半非洲企鹅的家园)”可知,Bird Island对非洲企鹅来说很特别是因为那里有大量的非洲企鹅。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“Looking like small round houses, the double-walled ceramic nests can keep African penguins cool.(看起来像小圆屋的双层陶瓷巢可以让非洲企鹅保持凉爽)”可知,陶瓷窝盒的主要功能是让企鹅在里面保持凉爽。故选A。
【31题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Scientists and conservationists are pushing the South African government to close commercial fishing around the five African penguin breeding (繁殖) colonies until populations recover..(科学家和环保人士正在敦促南非政府在五个非洲企鹅繁殖地附近关闭商业捕鱼活动,直到企鹅数量恢复)”可知,被提议来保护非洲企鹅的其他的措施是阻止人们在企鹅繁殖的地方捕鱼。故选B。

From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passenger this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and Ae do Project—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers away to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows.
The prototype (原型) of the smart car window has a device with an outside-facing camera. With just a press of a button, the system takes a picture of the current view. The colorful picture is then turned into an image with different shades of grey through LED lights, which vibrates (震动) differently. As the finger passes over different regions of the image, its shaking movements provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it. The smart window also comes with a voice assistant that uses AI to identify the scene and help the passengers get information on what they’re seeing.
“As the prototype started taking shape, we realized we were giving birth to a completely new language that would give blind people a new chance to visualize and experience traveling,” Federico Russo, one director of GTB Roma, said. “When the idea was at its first stage, we looked for suppliers all around the world to make it come to life.” He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars. “It could be introduced into schools and institutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”
The technology may show up in a Ford autonomous vehicle. It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another. It’s unclear when this technology will be made available. However, the idea of building something for the less advantaged is indeed a kind and influential action.
32. How does the smart car window work?
A. By changing shades of colors. B. By recording the view with a camera.
C. By classifying shaking movements. D. By translating scenery into vibrations.
33. What does Federico Russo say about the technology?
A. It will have wide application. B. It will be tested across the world.
C. It will be used in schools first. D. It will understand many languages.
34. What difficulty is Ford facing?
A. Developing autonomous cars. B. Exploring their future business model.
C. Providing route information. D. Applying the technology to everyday life.
35. Which can be the best title for the text?
A. A I-based Window Adds Fun to Road Trips
B. Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views
C. Technology Makes the Blind’s Trip Enjoyable
D. Ford Develops a System for the Blind to Drive
【答案】32 D 33. A 34. C 35. B
【解析】
【导语】本文是说明文。文章讲述了福特公司联合GTB Roma和Aedo Project研发了一款智能车窗,帮助盲人感受旅途中的风景,带给盲人全新的旅行体验。

细节理解题。根据第二段中的“The prototype (原型)…provide feedback through the sense of touch to the person using it.(智能车窗的原型有一个面向外部的摄像头。只需按下一个按钮,系统就会拍下当前视图的照片。然后,通过不同振动的LED灯,将彩色图像转换成不同灰度的图像。当手指经过图像的不同区域时,它的抖动动作通过触觉向使用它的人提供反馈。)”可知,智能车窗通过将风景转化为振动来工作。故选D。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中的“He believes the technology can be employed not just in cars.”“It could be introduced into schools and institutions for blind people as a tool that could be used in multiple ways.”(他认为,这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车。“它可以作为一种工具引入盲人学校和机构,可以以多种方式使用。”)”可知,Federico Russo认为,这项技术不仅可以应用于汽车,还可以作为一种多种用途的工具引人盲人学校和为盲人服务的机构。由此可推知,Federico Russo认为这项技术有广泛的应用价值。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中的“It’s known that the company is testing their technology and future business model and struggling to figure out how an autonomous vehicle gives different passengers the details needed to get from one destination to another.(众所周知,该公司正在测试他们的技术和未来的商业模式,并努力弄清楚自动驾驶汽车如何为不同的乘客提供从一个目的地到另一个目的地所需的细节。)”可知,福特公司正在努力弄清楚自动驾驶汽车如何为不同乘客提供从一个目的地到另一个目的地所需的信息。由此可知,福特公司面临的一个难题是提供路线信息。故选C。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。阅读全文尤其是第一段内容“From rolling hills to mountain ranges, views make any road trip memorable, but for blind passenger this is part of the experience they miss. Motor company Ford tries to change that. It teamed up with GTB Roma and Ae do Project—to develop a technology that will give those unfortunate passengers away to feel nature’s beauty through their car windows.(从连绵起伏的丘陵到山脉,景色让任何公路旅行都令人难忘,但对于盲人乘客来说,这是他们错过的体验的一部分。汽车公司福特试图改变这一点。它与GTB Roma和Ae do project合作开发了一种技术,可以让那些不幸的乘客透过车窗感受大自然的美丽。)”可知,本文主要介绍了福特公司联合GTB Roma和Ae do Project研发了一款智能车窗,这种智能车窗使盲人有可能感受到旅途中的风景,故B项:Smart Window Lets Blind Passengers Feel Views(智能窗户让盲人乘客感受美景)作标题最为恰当。故选B。

【57题详解】
考查时态。句意:最近,神舟十九号载人飞船的发射展示了中国在航天领域的卓越能力。根据时间状语Recently可知,本句时态应用现在完成时,主语为the launch,助动词用has。也可以理解为本句描述过去的动作,故时态用一般过去时,谓语用过去式。故填has shown或showed。

【62题详解】
考查介词。句意:在每一位宇航员背后,都有无数无私奉献的研究人员为航天事业贡献自己的力量。固定搭配contribute one’s efforts to... 意为“为……贡献力量”,本空用介词to,符合题意。故填to。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:这些科学家在实验室里夜以继日地工作,推动航天技术的边界。本句谓语为work,此处为非谓语动词,且These scientists与push“推动”为主动关系,应用现在分词,作状语。故填pushing。
【64题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:神舟系列飞船的每一次发射都证明了中国在航天技术自主创新方面取得了重大成就。本空作proves的宾语,用achievement“成就”,不止一个成就,用复数形式。故填achievements。

I’m thrilled to share that our class won an award in the space-themed poster design contest held by our school English newspaper!
Teaming up with my fellows, we brainstormed ideas and divided tasks, some for design, some for research and content creation, which not only enhanced our teamwork skills but also deepened our understanding of space exploration. The process was challenging yet rewarding. I’m incredibly proud of China’s achievements in space, which have greatly inspired our poster design. It’s a memory I will cherish for a long time.

67. 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。
I grew up in New York City. Over the years, my family have explored many notable landmarks, including the Statue of Liberty and Times Square. However, the one we never attended was the Christmas Spectacular at Radio City. My father worked as a baker, so purchasing tickets for six of us was considered a too high expense. How I wish I could see the show! I was always attracted by the long line of Rockettes that would dance across our television screen, so I decided I’d see the iconic show in person one day.
Then I found myself at the age of twenty-eight heading to Radio City to buy tickets to the show on Christmas day. My husband Jay was driving the car. His sister and I were sitting in the back seat. I prayed to God, just as I always did, that everything would go well.
Our plan was to park the car and head directly to the box office. After parking our car, we enjoyed the walk to Radio City. By the time we got there, there were long lines and people everywhere.
I went to wait in one of those long lines. I saw people walking away disappointed in front of me, but I told myself that it was probably too expensive or the show was at the wrong time to fit in with their plans. Finally, I reached the cashier. “Good morning,” I greeted her cheerfully. “I’d like to buy three tickets for the next show.”
“I don’t even need to look. The last seven people asked me the same thing. They’re sold out,” she responded.
“OK, so how about tonight’s show?” I said.
“Um…girl, they’re sold out for this day, this week and this month. I might be able to get you in the middle of January,” she replied.
I was shocked. It was worse than I could have imagined. I stood alone in the building, not knowing what to do. I even wanted to try from the scalpers (票贩子).
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。
At that moment, a man approached me, asking me, “Are you looking for tickets?”
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I looked down at the paper, wondering why he gave me the tickets for free.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At that moment, a man approached me, asking me, “Are you looking for tickets?” With his words, he extended a slip of paper to me, adding. “Here, take this. I can no longer use it.” “Yes!”I answered enthusiastically. Then, I added, “And how much are they?” I reached for the paper while also watching to make sure I was not the victim of a cheat. “This will work. No charge. It’s meant for you,” he assured me. I couldn’t believe my ears. As soon as I grasped the paper, he disappeared into the crowd.
I looked down at the paper wondering why he gave me the tickets for free. I felt confused about what he did. “Why didn’t he use it? That’s worth hundreds of dollars.” I thought to myself. I told what had happened to my husband and his sister, who also couldn’t understand. Anyway, we all got in for free. We saw the show that day. Maybe my prayers were heard by God or maybe it was a special Christmas gift. I felt touched and grateful to the stranger. He was my angel and helped me realize the dream that had lived in my heart for many years.
【解析】

①由第一段首句“正在那时,一个人悄悄地靠近了我,并开口询问是不是想要门票”可知,作者不会在售票大厅白白站着,有人愿意来帮助她,很可能是这个人愿意把自己的票送给作者。
②由第二段首句“我低头看着票,心里想为什么他会把票送给我”可知,这个人果然把票送给了作者,但是作者需要一个理由。可能是这个人心地善良,可能是他多买了一张票,也可能是上天给作者的补偿,只要考生言之有理即可。
2.续写线索:去参加狂欢节——没有票了——无助——有人送票——心里疑惑——感谢陌生人
