A heartwarming act has transformed the life of Lyn Story, a retired woman from Fort Worth, Texas, who dedicates her time to providing free rides to strangers in need. Story, beloved in her community for her selflessness, received an extraordinary gift — a brand-new car — from Philadelphia car dealer David Kelleher.
Story’s mission of kindness began through the neighborhood app “Nextdoor,” where she connected with neighbors in need of transportation. Among those she’s helped are April Goodwin, who battles cancer and relies on Story to reach vital medical appointments, and Kevin Horrigan, a blind man who depends on her rides to get to work. Despite her own challenges, including financial stress and a failing car, Story never stopped giving. “Lyn’s like a little angel; she really is,” Horrigan said, reflecting the gratitude of many who have benefited from her kindness.
Story’s compassion caught the attention of “CBS Mornings” and journalist David Begnaud, whose report six months ago highlighted her efforts. That story resonated (引起共鸣) deeply with Kelleher, known for his charitable spirit. Inspired, Kelleher decided to surprise Story with a gift that would make her mission safer and easier.
Begnaud arranged for Story to visit a Fort Worth dealership under the pretense of repairing her old car. Instead, Kelleher uncovered the surprise: a brand-new car, fully paid for, including title, tags, and an extended warranty (质量保证). He also offered to cover her insurance annually, ensuring she could continue her acts of kindness without financial worry.
“To know that I could help somebody in such a way that’s been helping other people. I get so much out of it,” Kelleher shared. “Now she’s gonna be safe, and it’s gonna be dependable. She’s gonna be able to help other people.”
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Story named the car “The White Knight,” a fitting symbol of her mission.
24. How did Story’s mission of kindness start?
A. By visiting neighbors. B. By using an app.
C. By connecting with reporters. D. By phoning neighbors.
25. Why are April Goodwin and Kevin Horrigan mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain how terrible their situations are.
B. To emphasize Story has great financial stress.
C. To reflect the challenges disabled people face.
D. To show how much Story’ s kindness is appreciated.
26. What can we learn about Kelleher?
A He is noted for his selfless kindness.
B. He sold a brand-new car to Story.
C. He reported Story’s great efforts.
D. He wants to transport neighbors with Story.
27. What message does this story convey?
A. Strike while the iron is hot. B. One good turn deserves another.
C. A passionate interest works wonders. D. Hard work will pay off in the long term.
C
“Sandy wind, is blowing over the shed... Sheep in the pen, are circling restlessly...” This is a folk song that people used to sing in counties like Awat along the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Simple lyrics reflect the bitter life they’ve had to suffer from sand and dust storms striking in from time to time.
But not long ago, a new milestone appeared in the long battle with desertification. On Nov. 28th, the last desert rose was planted into the sandy soil, completing the final stretch of the 3,046-km-long sand-blocking green belt surrounding the Taklimakan Desert. Therefore, China’ s largest and the world’s second-largest shifting sand desert now wears a “green scarf.”
Given the vastness of the Taklimakan Desert, not to mention its high-speed winds and severe droughts, building the world’ s longest ecological barrier to encircle this desert is no easy task. During the difficult exploration of controlling desertification, people gradually found that adopting proper methods according to local geographical features is the effective solution. Over time, people living at the brink of the Taklimakan Desert noticed that sand storms have become less frequent, the environment has improved, and yields have been bettered in their farmlands.
China is one of the countries that suffer most from desertification. Now, reduction has been realized in both desertification and sandification. For China, the green scarf of the Taklimakan Desert also signifies a new start. For “Our Land” and “Our Future,” one can be hopeful to see more stories about human-desert harmony and humanity-nature harmony.
28. Why is the folk song mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a song which is popular. B. To show how simple the lyrics are.
C. To explain why wind is so violent. D. To reflect the local people’s hard life.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a new milestone” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. The last desert rose. B. The sand-blocking green belt.
C. The economic barrier. D. The shifting sand desert.
30. Which of the following best describes China’ s efforts to reduce desertification?
A. Unsatisfying. B. Inefficient. C. Productive. D. Joint.
31. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The Taklimakan Desert wears a “Green Scarf”.
B. Various methods have been adopted to monitor sandification.
C. The Taklimakan Desert will disappear very soon.
D. China has made great progress in controlling desertification.
D
The choices we make in diet and exercise go a long way towards determining our body’s mass, yet it’s our genes that lay the groundwork for gaining and burning fat reserves. Scientists have recently discovered 14 “skinny” genes that could influence how individuals lost weight in response to exercise.
Researchers from the University of Essex and Anglia Ruskin University in the UK enlisted the help of38 volunteers aged between 23 and 40 divided between a control group and an exercise group, who did three 20 to 30 - minute runs per week over the course of a couple of months. As expected, those who undertook the running routine lost weight. Yet the amount of loss varied significantly in ways that couldn’t be attributed to differences in training alone. Through DNA testing, the researchers looked for gene variants (变体) that were more common in those that shed a greater amount of weight.
The team was able to identify variants in 14 particular genes related to greater weight loss: participants with most of these variants lost 5 kilograms (11 pounds) on average compared with an average of 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) for those with fewer or none of these markers in their DNA.
That doesn’t mean there’s any weight loss magic in our genes. Effort and action is required in combination with genetics to manage weight the researchers are keen to point out “This study highlighted some important genes associated with taking inches off the jeans, but it’s important to remember that the genes will do nothing without exercise and lifestyle changes as they are all interlinked,” says exercise scientist Henry Chung, from the University of Essex. “Without intervention, they won’t show their true potential and then it doesn’t matter what genes you have.”
32. What is the function of 14 “skinny” genes?
A. They play a fundamental role in weight management.
B. They have an essential influence on weight gain.
C. They are the only decisive factor in weight loss.
D. They have determining control over human diet.
33. How did the researchers get their research findings according to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. By describing a process. B. By explaining a theory.
C. By showing an argument. D. By making a comparison.
34. What does the underlined phrase “attributed to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Amounted to. B. Added to. C. Explained by. D. Indicated by.
35. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The healthier diet the control participants had, the less weight loss they had.
B. The more exercise the control participants took, the greater weight loss they had.
C. The more “skinny” genes the exercise participants had, the greater weight loss they had.
D. The fewer “skinny” genes the exercise participants had, the greater weight loss they had.

Alex Pepper will be here that day for his concert at City Stadium, so I wrote to his manager and asked him to come and give you some guidance. He’ s going to decide the best performer and invite him or her to his concert.”
Lucy and Jack determined to take part in the competition as a team. They chose a song called I’ll help you! They practiced on the playground in their spare time. Lucy made such great progress that Jack was deeply absorbed in her singing and often said admirably, “How sweet your voice is!” While they pracitced, the branches of the trees around the playground were swaying(摇摆) in the wind as if they were enjoying their performance.
On the afternoon of the competition, all the students were waiting in the school hall for Alex Pepper to arrive. When he walked in with Mr. Brown, everyone clapped. Alex smiled and waved and then he and Mr. Brown sat down on special seats in front of the school stage.
Then the competition started. Lots of other students sang before Jack and Lucy. An older girl named Mary sang very well. Some students shouted “More! More!” when she finished. “She’s going to win,” thought Lucy. Soon Mr. Brown pointed to Jack and Lucy and called out that it was their turn.

M: Sure. It is included in the rental fee. However, you’ll have to pay for the electricity. Oh, and also the phone line if you want one.
W: Actually, I’ll probably just use my mobile phone. Well, I think this place is perfect for me. Could I fill out the paperwork today? I’d like to move in as soon as possible.

【原文】This is the Lakewood Public Address System. This is not a test like the one we had last week. I repeat, this is not a test. The Western Hill Fire is spreading toward Lakewood much quicker than we had expected. This is mostly because of a strong wind coming from the west. Currently, we expect the fire to come within twenty miles of Lakewood by six o’clock this evening. We are therefore requiring all residents to leave this area immediately. Springfield to the north, Point Cabina Station to the east, and Galveston to the south are all in the safe zone. It will take less than thirty minutes to drive to any of these towns. Take as many things as you can fit in your car, but do not delay. We can not take any chances. We have orders from the state police to make sure that the entire town of Lakewood is empty by five o’clock today. And we have been given permission to use force to remove anyone who has not left the area on their own. This is for your own safety. You have plenty of time to get all your family members, pets, and belongings together, so there is no need to panic. Stay calm, but get started as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please call 1800-StaySafe or visit www.firesafety.com. This has been an announcement from the Lakewood Public Address System.

A heartwarming act has transformed the life of Lyn Story, a retired woman from Fort Worth, Texas, who dedicates her time to providing free rides to strangers in need. Story, beloved in her community for her selflessness, received an extraordinary gift — a brand-new car — from Philadelphia car dealer David Kelleher.
Story’s mission of kindness began through the neighborhood app “Nextdoor,” where she connected with neighbors in need of transportation. Among those she’s helped are April Goodwin, who battles cancer and relies on Story to reach vital medical appointments, and Kevin Horrigan, a blind man who depends on her rides to get to work. Despite her own challenges, including financial stress and a failing car, Story never stopped giving. “Lyn’s like a little angel; she really is,” Horrigan said, reflecting the gratitude of many who have benefited from her kindness.
Story’s compassion caught the attention of “CBS Mornings” and journalist David Begnaud, whose report six months ago highlighted her efforts. That story resonated (引起共鸣) deeply with Kelleher, known for his charitable spirit. Inspired, Kelleher decided to surprise Story with a gift that would make her mission safer and easier.
Begnaud arranged for Story to visit a Fort Worth dealership under the pretense of repairing her old car. Instead, Kelleher uncovered the surprise: a brand-new car, fully paid for, including title, tags, and an extended warranty (质量保证). He also offered to cover her insurance annually, ensuring she could continue her acts of kindness without financial worry.
“To know that I could help somebody in such a way that’s been helping other people. I get so much out of it,” Kelleher shared. “Now she’s gonna be safe, and it’s gonna be dependable. She’s gonna be able to help other people.”
Overwhelmed with gratitude, Story named the car “The White Knight,” a fitting symbol of her mission.
24. How did Story’s mission of kindness start?
A. By visiting neighbors. B. By using an app.
C. By connecting with reporters. D. By phoning neighbors.
25. Why are April Goodwin and Kevin Horrigan mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A. To explain how terrible their situations are.
B. To emphasize Story has great financial stress.
C. To reflect the challenges disabled people face.
D. To show how much Story’ s kindness is appreciated.
26. What can we learn about Kelleher?

B. He sold a brand-new car to Story.
C. He reported Story’s great efforts.
D. He wants to transport neighbors with Story.
27. What message does this story convey?

“Sandy wind, is blowing over the shed... Sheep in the pen, are circling restlessly...” This is a folk song that people used to sing in counties like Awat along the Taklimakan Desert in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Simple lyrics reflect the bitter life they’ve had to suffer from sand and dust storms striking in from time to time.
But not long ago, a new milestone appeared in the long battle with desertification. On Nov. 28th, the last desert rose was planted into the sandy soil, completing the final stretch of the 3,046-km-long sand-blocking green belt surrounding the Taklimakan Desert. Therefore, China’ s largest and the world’s second-largest shifting sand desert now wears a “green scarf.”
Given the vastness of the Taklimakan Desert, not to mention its high-speed winds and severe droughts, building the world’ s longest ecological barrier to encircle this desert is no easy task. During the difficult exploration of controlling desertification, people gradually found that adopting proper methods according to local geographical features is the effective solution. Over time, people living at the brink of the Taklimakan Desert noticed that sand storms have become less frequent, the environment has improved, and yields have been bettered in their farmlands.
China is one of the countries that suffer most from desertification. Now, reduction has been realized in both desertification and sandification. For China, the green scarf of the Taklimakan Desert also signifies a new start. For “Our Land” and “Our Future,” one can be hopeful to see more stories about human-desert harmony and humanity-nature harmony.
28. Why is the folk song mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. To introduce a song which is popular. B. To show how simple the lyrics are.
C. To explain why wind is so violent. D. To reflect the local people’s hard life.
29. What does the underlined phrase “a new milestone” refer to in Paragraph 2?
A. The last desert rose. B. The sand-blocking green belt.
C. The economic barrier. D. The shifting sand desert.
30. Which of the following best describes China’ s efforts to reduce desertification?
A. Unsatisfying. B. Inefficient. C. Productive. D. Joint.
31. What’s the passage mainly about?
A. The Taklimakan Desert wears a “Green Scarf”.
B. Various methods have been adopted to monitor sandification.
C. The Taklimakan Desert will disappear very soon.
D. China has made great progress in controlling desertification.
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道,主要报道了中国完成了环绕塔克拉玛干沙漠3046公里的防沙绿化带最后一段。因此,中国最大、世界第二大流沙沙漠现在戴上了“绿围巾”。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Simple lyrics reflect the sour life they've had to suffer from sand and dust storms striking in from time to time.(简单的歌词唱出了当地人饱受风沙之苦的心酸。)”可知,第一段提到这首民歌是为了反映当地人民的艰苦生活。故选D项。
【29题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线短语下文的句子“On Nov. 28th, the last desert rose was planted into the sandy soil, completing the final stretch of the 3,046-km-long sand-blocking green belt surrounding the Taklimakan Desert. Therefore, China’ s largest and the world’s second-largest shifting sand desert now wears a “green scarf.”(11月28日,最后一朵沙漠玫瑰栽进了沙土,完成了环绕塔克拉玛干沙漠3046公里的防沙绿化带的最后一段。因此,中国最大、世界第二大流沙沙漠现在戴上了“绿围巾”。)”可知,此处的里程碑指的是环绕塔克拉玛干沙漠3046公里的防沙绿化带的完成,由此可知,a new milestone指的是“防沙绿化带”。故选B项。
【30题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段“Over time, people living at the brink of the Taklimakan Desert noticed that sand storms have become less frequent, the environment has improved, and yields have been bettered in their farmlands.(渐渐地生活在沙漠边缘的人们发现,风沙少了,环境好了,田地里收成也增加了很多。)”以及最后一段“Now, reduction has been realized in both desertification and sandification.(现在,沙漠化和沙化都实现了减少。)”可知,中国在减少沙漠化方面的努力富有成效,故选C项。
【31题详解】
主旨大意题。本文是一篇新闻报道,主要报道了中国完成了环绕塔克拉玛干沙漠3046公里的防沙绿化带最后一段。因此,中国最大、世界第二大流沙沙漠现在戴上了“绿围巾”。所以,A项“The Taklimakan Desert wears a “Green Scarf”.(塔克拉玛干沙漠披上“绿围巾”)”可以概括本文的主要内容。故选A项。
D
The choices we make in diet and exercise go a long way towards determining our body’s mass, yet it’s our genes that lay the groundwork for gaining and burning fat reserves. Scientists have recently discovered 14 “skinny” genes that could influence how individuals lost weight in response to exercise.
Researchers from the University of Essex and Anglia Ruskin University in the UK enlisted the help of38 volunteers aged between 23 and 40 divided between a control group and an exercise group, who did three 20 to 30 - minute runs per week over the course of a couple of months. As expected, those who undertook the running routine lost weight. Yet the amount of loss varied significantly in ways that couldn’t be attributed to differences in training alone. Through DNA testing, the researchers looked for gene variants (变体) that were more common in those that shed a greater amount of weight.
The team was able to identify variants in 14 particular genes related to greater weight loss: participants with most of these variants lost 5 kilograms (11 pounds) on average, compared with an average of 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) for those with fewer or none of these markers in their DNA.
That doesn’t mean there’s any weight loss magic in our genes. Effort and action is required in combination with genetics to manage weight, the researchers are keen to point out “This study highlighted some important genes associated with taking inches off the jeans, but it’s important to remember that the genes will do nothing without exercise and lifestyle changes as they are all interlinked,” says exercise scientist Henry Chung, from the University of Essex. “Without intervention, they won’t show their true potential and then it doesn’t matter what genes you have.”
32. What is the function of 14 “skinny” genes?
A. They play a fundamental role in weight management.
B. They have an essential influence on weight gain.
C. They are the only decisive factor in weight loss.
D. They have determining control over human diet.
33. How did the researchers get their research findings according to Paragraph 2 and Paragraph 3?
A. By describing a process. B. By explaining a theory.
C. By showing an argument. D. By making a comparison.
34. What does the underlined phrase “attributed to” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Amounted to. B. Added to. C. Explained by. D. Indicated by.
35. What can we learn from this passage?
A. The healthier diet the control participants had, the less weight loss they had.
B. The more exercise the control participants took, the greater weight loss they had.
C. The more “skinny” genes the exercise participants had, the greater weight loss they had.
D. The fewer “skinny” genes the exercise participants had, the greater weight loss they had.
【答案】32. A 33. D 34. C 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了科学家发现了人体内14种“瘦”基因,这些基因结合运动和生活方式的改变可以使人达到减肥的目的。
【32题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段的“The choices we make in diet and exercise go a long way towards determining our body’s mass, yet it’s our genes that lay the groundwork for gaining and burning fat reserves. Scientists have recently discovered 14 “skinny” genes that could influence how individuals lost weight in response to exercise.( 我们在饮食和运动方面的选择在很大程度上决定了我们的体重,然而,是我们的基因为积累和燃烧脂肪储备奠定了基础。科学家们最近发现了14种“瘦”基因,这些基因可能会影响人们在运动后减肥的方式。)”可推断,14个“瘦”基因的功能是它们在体重管理中起着重要作用。故选A。
【33题详解】
推理判断题。根据文章第二段“Researchers from the University of Essex and Anglia Ruskin University in the UK enlisted the help of38 volunteers aged between 23 and 40 divided between a control group and an exercise group, who did three 20 to 30 - minute runs per week over the course of a couple of months. (英国埃塞克斯大学和安格利亚鲁斯金大学的研究人员招募了38名年龄在23岁至40岁之间的志愿者,将他们分为对照组和锻炼组,他们在几个月的时间里每周跑步3次,每次20至30分钟。)”可知,研究人员对两个实验小组进行比较,以及“Yet the amount of loss varied significantly in ways that couldn’t be attributed to differences in training alone.(然而,在某些方面,损失的数量差异很大,不能仅仅归因于训练的差异。)”可知,研究人员对同一组内体重不同程度的减少也进行比较分析,这表明研究方法是通过比较来进行的。故选D。
【34题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第四段第一句中的“As expected, those who undertook the running routine lost weight. Yet the amount of loss varied significantly in ways that couldn't be attributed to differences in training alone.(正如所预期的,进行常规跑步的参与者减轻了体重。然而体重数量的减少差别很明显,这不能只……单纯训练方面的不同。)”可知,体重数量的减少不能仅仅归因于训练的差异。所以attributed to意为“归因于”。故选C。
【35题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段内容“The team was able to identify variants in 14 particular genes related to greater weight loss: participants with most of these variants lost 5 kilograms (11 pounds) on average, compared with an average of 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) for those with fewer or none of these markers in their DNA.(这个团队能确定与较大体重减少有关的14种特殊基因的变体:有这种基因最多的参与者平均减重5公斤(11磅),与DNA里这种基因少或没有的减重2公斤的参与者形成比较。)”可知,进行锻炼的参与者“瘦”基因越多,他们减重就越多。故选C。

【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了2024年12月5日春节入选人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录,阐述春节内涵、全球影响力及未来发展趋势。
【56题详解】
考查形容词。句意:2024年12月5日,春节——中国人庆祝传统新年的社会习俗——被列入人类非物质文化遗产代表作名录。根据空后名词practices可知,空处需用形容词修饰名词practices,作定语,society的形容词形式是social,表示“社会的”。故填social。
【57题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:根源于中国文化并且有各种形式的庆祝活动,春节标志着农历的第一天而且象征万象更新和家庭团圆。本句已有谓语动词marks,动词root与其之间没有连词,故空处为非谓语动词,动词root与其逻辑主语the Spring Festival之间为动宾关系,需填过去分词形式作状语,空处位于句首,单词首字母需大写。故填Rooted。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:春节被认为是一种连接国内外华人共同记忆和情感的文化和历史纽带。句中已经有谓语动词is believed,动词connect与谓语动词之间没有连词,所以connect为非谓语动词形式,其与逻辑主语bond之间为主动关系,用现在分词作后置定语。故填connecting。
【59题详解】
考查名词。句意:春节被认为是一种连接国内外华人共同记忆和情感的文化和历史纽带。memory为可数名词,这里指国内外华人的多种记忆,应用复数形式。故填memories。
【60题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:它包含了属于全人类的共同价值观和追求,包括人与自然的和谐统一,以及对美好生活的期望。空处引导定语从句,先行词是values and pursuits,指物,关系词在从句中作主语,所以用关系代词that/which引导定语从句。故填that/which。
【61题详解】
考查并列连词。句意:它包含了属于全人类的共同价值观和追求,包括人与自然的和谐统一,以及对美好生活的期望。between…and…是固定搭配,表示“在……和……之间”。故填and。
【62题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:此外,第78届联合国大会在2023年决定将农历新年列为联合国的浮动假日。空处为句子的谓语动词,根据时间状语in 2023可知,这里描述过去发生的事情,且主语the 78th UN General Assembly与decide为主动关系,故用一般过去时的主动语态,decide的过去式是decided。故填decided。
【63题详解】
考查介词。句意:此外,第78届联合国大会在2023年决定将农历新年列为联合国的浮动假日。list…as…是固定短语,意为“把……列为……”。故填as。
【64题详解】
考查名词。句意:随着春节在世界范围内越来越受欢迎,以及它被联合国教科文组织认可,专家们相信更多的中国传统民俗在未来会越来越受欢迎。根据空前形容词性物主代词its可知,空处需填名词形式,recognize的名词形式是recognition,意为“认可”。故填recognition。
【65题详解】
考查副词。句意:随着春节在世界范围内越来越受欢迎,以及它被联合国教科文组织认可,专家们相信更多的中国传统民俗在未来会越来越受欢迎。空处修饰形容词popular,需用副词形式。故填increasingly。

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。
Lucy and her friend Jack loved being at school every day because they both really enjoyed music lessons. Lucy began playing two instruments, the piano and the violin, but she enjoyed singing more. She dreamed of being a pop star like Alex Pepper one day. Jack had a guitar and played pop and rock music very well. He wanted to be the coolest guitar player in the world.
One day, their music teacher, Mr. Brown, said to the class, “We’re going to have a music competition here at school next Friday. If you want to enter, you must sing or play a song on the school stage. Alex Pepper will be here that day for his concert at City Stadium, so I wrote to his manager and asked him to come and give you some guidance. He’ s going to decide the best performer and invite him or her to his concert.”
Lucy and Jack determined to take part in the competition as a team. They chose a song called I’ll help you! They practiced on the playground in their spare time. Lucy made such great progress that Jack was deeply absorbed in her singing and often said admirably, “How sweet your voice is!” While they pracitced, the branches of the trees around the playground were swaying(摇摆) in the wind as if they were enjoying their performance.
On the afternoon of the competition, all the students were waiting in the school hall for Alex Pepper to arrive. When he walked in with Mr. Brown, everyone clapped. Alex smiled and waved and then he and Mr. Brown sat down on special seats in front of the school stage.
Then the competition started. Lots of other students sang before Jack and Lucy. An older girl named Mary sang very well. Some students shouted “More! More!” when she finished. “She’s going to win,” thought Lucy. Soon Mr. Brown pointed to Jack and Lucy and called out that it was their turn.

The big moment came.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】Paragraph 1:
Lucy began to tremble unknowingly when she stood in the middle of the stage. She was rooted on the stage and found it hard to sing with her mind blank when Jack played the guitar smoothly. Noticing Lucy’s abnormal silence, Jack gave her an encouraging smile but it didn’t work. Jack replayed the music, hoping to help Lucy calm down and get started. To Jack’s relief, Lucy followed him this time though her singing was not as good as usual. They finished their performance regretfully, waiting for the result anxiously.
Paragraph 2:
The big moment came. Mr. Brown declared that the winner was Mary. The school hall erupted in cheer and applause. Lucy whispered to Jack guiltily, “I’m really sorry.” Jack responded with a smile, “ Never mind! I know you did your best.” Tears welling up in her eyes, Lucy felt a gentle pat on the head. Looking up, she was surprised to see Alex Pepper. “Nothing can beat a strong heart,” he noted. Hearing these words, Lucy expressed her heartfelt gratitude to Alex and renewed her determination and hope.
