For decades, Jean Moffatt has been reaching out over the airwaves. As an amateur radio operator, Moffatt has connected with people worldwide. “By sending signals to satellites, I’ve talked to people from the Arctic to the Antarctic,” Moffatt said. And on Wednesday at the Ontario Science Centre, the 96-year-old got to go even further.
An amateur radio connection allowed the senior and students to speak with Commander Luca aboard the International Space Station. By connection, Moffatt told the astronaut she was very excited, admitting that this was a bucket-list wish she had for many years. Then Moffatt asked if Luca could keep the space station clean and tidy, adding that as a “mature woman” she had done lots of cleaning in her life.
When Moffatt was a young girl, she moved to Toronto with her family, hoping there would be chances for a girl interested in science. She desperately wanted to go to university, but moving house placed a significant burden on their finances. Not discouraged, she took a course in amateur radio, then a popular technology, and shortly after she got her license. After retiring, Moffatt started volunteering at the Ontario Science Centre. Armed with her radio license, she helped set up the centre’s first radio shack (无线电设备室).
The idea to connect with the International Space Station came just after Moffatt’s 36th birthday. Finally after 60 years with the help of amateur radio operators and NASA, Moffatt made her connection. While the connection wasn’t very clear, she was S moved to tears, telling those who had gathered to watch that it was the “highlight” of her life.
Moffatt plans to keep volunteering at the centre, introducing younger people to the older form of technology, and to keep speaking to anyone who can pick up her signal. “It’s a technology even older than me and I love amateur radio,” Moffatt added.
4. What can we learn about Moffatt from the first two paragraphs?
A. She attempted an Internet talk. B. She was an environmentalist.
C. She was into space exploration. D. She achieved a lifetime goal.
5. Why did Moffatt and her family move to Toronto?
A. To pursue a radio license. B. To seek better opportunities.
C. To attend a radio school. D. To survive financial troubles.
6. What does Moffatt plan to do further?
A. Promote radio communication. B. Continue her passion for radio.
C. Start her radio shack business. D. Acquire new scientific ability.
7. Which of the following can best describe Moffatt?
A. Creative and ambitious. B. Out-spoken and energetic.
C. Passionate and determined. D. Broad-minded and generous.
C
“Europe in a Second:10 Countries, 6 Days, Unforgettable Memories!” “Dense &Rich: 6 Days, 10 European Countries — A Trip of Culture & Adventure!” Are you still drown to the advertisements? Actually, the days of busy tours or hurried must-do vacations have given way to vacations where resting and recharging is the key. And for many, that means getting a good night’s sleep.
A recent survey of 1,095 Americans, conducted by a team at Harvard’s Division of Sleep Medicine, found that over 94 percent of the participants want to participate in slow travel in the future and choose quiet and rest instead of adventure, “Gone are the days of traveling and coming home exhausted,” said Rebecca Robbins, the lead sleep scientist in the team, “The idea that travel could restore you-to learn things and experience new things and also physically and mentally get the rest you need to power your trip and to allow you to return home rested-is really exciting.”
A good night’s sleep is something that eludes many people, according to the survey. More than one in three Americans lack enough sleep, not getting the minimum of seven hours of sleep that is recommended by the Center for Disease Control. Poor sleep can cause a host of physical and mental health issues. It’s no wonder that people want to destress and catch some ZZs while on vacation. Hotel guests are increasingly valuing sleeping when they’re traveling and getting a good night’s rest on the road.
While many hotels have provided sleep-aid items like masks, light blocking shades and comfortable pillows, sleep tourism is taking it many steps further. Several hotels in the Hilton chain now offer “power down” services including temperature-adjusting mattresses (床垫) and soft light settings. Travelers engaging in sleep tourism are taking that extra step and seeking out unique experiences and environments that help them achieve their sleep and relaxation goals.
Maybe a sleep vacation is just what doctors have ordered, especially if travelers use the sleep techniques they have learned when they return home.
8. What does the author think of the European trips mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Memorable. B. Rushed. C. Costly. D. Refreshing.
9. Which of the following may Rebecca agree with?
A. Resting in a hotel for several days.
B. Using the sleep aids in a busy tour.
C. Having a slow-paced tour in a place.
D. Making new adventures in the wild.
10. What does the underlined word “eludes” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Annoys. B. Escapes. C. Confuses. D. Hits.
11. Why is Hilton mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To evidence a point. B. To advertise a hotel.
C. To raise a suggestion. D. To spread a strategy.
D
Have you ever felt so convinced you were right about something, that the thought of anyone challenging your belief could only mean they didn’t know as much as you did? If you have, you’re not alone.
Here’s why: you don’t have all the facts but believe that you do. So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study. “Most people on average do this,” said the study co-author Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University.
In the experiment 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water. One group read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that had water; the second group’s article only gave reasons for staying separate and hoping for other solutions. The third control group read all the arguments for the schools merging and for staying separate.
Fletcher’s findings showed that the two groups who received only half the facts-either just the pro-merging or the just the anti-merging arguments- -believed they had enough information to make a good decision. What Fletcher didn’t expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning.
Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally. “If you feel yourself being annoyed by someone, lake a step back and say, how much do I really know about this situation?” Fletcher says. What led to greater understanding between the different groups in the study was access to all of the facts. Once each group independently reviewed the new information, they were able to come to a general agreement more easily.
He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or coworker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are. “The odds are good that they’ll reveal something that would shift your perspective,” Fletcher says.
12. What do we tend to do during a heated debate according to the text?
A. Stick to our opinion. B. Express our feelings.
C. Hold back our emotions. D. Bring forth our thinking.
13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the experiment?
A. Its process. B. Its outcome. C. Its theory. D. Its purpose.
14. What surprised Fletcher about the findings?
A. Perspectives of control groups remained unchanged.
B. Participants sought the opposite groups’ information.
C. All three groups were good at making wise decisions.
D. Views of half-informed groups changed with full facts.
15. What can be a suitable title of the text?
A. Argument: to be resolved or not B. Knowledge: the more, the better
C. Agreement: to convince all sides D. Curiosity: the key to “no conflict”

Difficult to know what one's first memory is. I remember distinctly my third birthday. A fancy cake had three candles in the middle. At that time, mom was home full-time taking care of me. Once a day, I would go for a walk with her, which I much disliked, especially buttoning up my coat. The only thing that got me through was mom’s stories. She had only three stories, all centred on a little girl, me, helping animals who got lost find their way home, one concerning a fox, one about a monkey, and one about a rabbit. I was allowed to choose which I would hear. Mom repeated them endlessly and occasionally added more details to them at my request patiently.
Time flies. At the age of 72, mom suffered a minor stroke (中风). She was sent to the hospital timely and went back home two weeks later. I thought the stroke didn’t hit her hard. But one day, she and I were talking in her living room and she asked if I wanted to look at a new chair she just bought. We went to look at it and then came back. Within a few minutes, she asked again if I wanted to see her new chair.
I went home that night and cried, thinking she might get the Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). The second day, I brought her to a doctor. After a thorough exam, I was told that it was not the Alzheimer’s. Her memory loss was the after-effect of last stroke, because it occurred in the inner part of the temporal lobe (颞叶) of her brain. As it worsened, she might struggle to recognize even her own daughter. The good news, the doctor said, was that the memory, in my mom’s case, could be regained. “She needs more exercises and more conversations,” the doctor added.
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。
From then on, the routine of my life changed.

For decades, Jean Moffatt has been reaching out over the airwaves. As an amateur radio operator, Moffatt has connected with people worldwide. “By sending signals to satellites, I’ve talked to people from the Arctic to the Antarctic,” Moffatt said. And on Wednesday at the Ontario Science Centre, the 96-year-old got to go even further.
An amateur radio connection allowed the senior and students to speak with Commander Luca aboard the International Space Station. By connection, Moffatt told the astronaut she was very excited, admitting that this was a bucket-list wish she had for many years. Then Moffatt asked if Luca could keep the space station clean and tidy, adding that as a “mature woman” she had done lots of cleaning in her life.
When Moffatt was a young girl, she moved to Toronto with her family, hoping there would be chances for a girl interested in science. She desperately wanted to go to university, but moving house placed a significant burden on their finances. Not discouraged, she took a course in amateur radio, then a popular technology, and shortly after she got her license. After retiring, Moffatt started volunteering at the Ontario Science Centre. Armed with her radio license, she helped set up the centre’s first radio shack (无线电设备室).
The idea to connect with the International Space Station came just after Moffatt’s 36th birthday. Finally after 60 years with the help of amateur radio operators and NASA, Moffatt made her connection. While the connection wasn’t very clear, she was S moved to tears, telling those who had gathered to watch that it was the “highlight” of her life.
Moffatt plans to keep volunteering at the centre, introducing younger people to the older form of technology, and to keep speaking to anyone who can pick up her signal. “It’s a technology even older than me and I love amateur radio,” Moffatt added.
4. What can we learn about Moffatt from the first two paragraphs?
A. She attempted an Internet talk. B. She was an environmentalist.
C. She was into space exploration. D. She achieved a lifetime goal.
5. Why did Moffatt and her family move to Toronto?
A. To pursue a radio license. B. To seek better opportunities.
C. To attend a radio school. D. To survive financial troubles.
6. What does Moffatt plan to do further?
A. Promote radio communication. B. Continue her passion for radio.
C. Start her radio shack business. D. Acquire new scientific ability.
7. Which of the following can best describe Moffatt?
A. Creative and ambitious. B. Out-spoken and energetic.

“Europe in a Second:10 Countries, 6 Days, Unforgettable Memories!” “Dense &Rich: 6 Days, 10 European Countries — A Trip of Culture & Adventure!” Are you still drown to the advertisements? Actually, the days of busy tours or hurried must-do vacations have given way to vacations where resting and recharging is the key. And for many, that means getting a good night’s sleep.
A recent survey of 1,095 Americans, conducted by a team at Harvard’s Division of Sleep Medicine, found that over 94 percent of the participants want to participate in slow travel in the future and choose quiet and rest instead of adventure, “Gone are the days of traveling and coming home exhausted,” said Rebecca Robbins, the lead sleep scientist in the team, “The idea that travel could restore you-to learn things and experience new things and also physically and mentally get the rest you need to power your trip and to allow you to return home rested-is really exciting.”
A good night’s sleep is something that eludes many people, according to the survey. More than one in three Americans lack enough sleep, not getting the minimum of seven hours of sleep that is recommended by the Center for Disease Control. Poor sleep can cause a host of physical and mental health issues. It’s no wonder that people want to destress and catch some ZZs while on vacation. Hotel guests are increasingly valuing sleeping when they’re traveling and getting a good night’s rest on the road.
While many hotels have provided sleep-aid items like masks, light blocking shades and comfortable pillows, sleep tourism is taking it many steps further. Several hotels in the Hilton chain now offer “power down” services including temperature-adjusting mattresses (床垫) and soft light settings. Travelers engaging in sleep tourism are taking that extra step and seeking out unique experiences and environments that help them achieve their sleep and relaxation goals.
Maybe a sleep vacation is just what doctors have ordered, especially if travelers use the sleep techniques they have learned when they return home.
8. What does the author think of the European trips mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A. Memorable. B. Rushed. C. Costly. D. Refreshing.
9. Which of the following may Rebecca agree with?
A. Resting in a hotel for several days.
B. Using the sleep aids in a busy tour.
C. Having a slow-paced tour in a place.
D. Making new adventures in the wild.
10. What does the underlined word “eludes” mean in Paragraph 3?
A. Annoys. B. Escapes. C. Confuses. D. Hits.
11. Why is Hilton mentioned in Paragraph 4?
A. To evidence a point. B. To advertise a hotel.
C. To raise a suggestion. D. To spread a strategy.
【答案】8. B 9. C 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是现代旅行者越来越倾向于选择慢旅行和注重休息的旅游方式,以恢复身心,而不是以往那种紧凑忙碌的行程安排。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据首段中关于欧洲旅行的广告词中的“10 Countries, 6 Days, Unforgettable Memories! (10个国家,6天,难忘的回忆!)”可知,6天可以在10个国家旅行,结合“Actually, the days of busy tours or hurried must-do vacations have given way to vacations where resting and recharging is the key.(实际上,忙碌旅游或匆忙假期的日子已经让位于以休息和充电为主的假期。)”可知,这些旅行是紧凑而忙碌的。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中的“A recent survey of 1,095 Americans, conducted by a team at Harvard’s Division of Sleep Medicine, found that over 94 percent of the participants want to participate in slow travel in the future and choose quiet and rest instead of adventure (哈佛大学睡眠医学部团队进行的一项针对1,095名美国人的调查显示,超过94%的参与者希望未来参与慢旅行,并选择安静与休息而非冒险。)”可知,研究发现,人们希望未来参与慢旅行,并选择安静与休息,结合Rebecca Robbins所说的“The idea that travel could restore you-to learn things and experience new things and also physically and mentally get the rest you need to power your trip and to allow you to return home rested-is really exciting.(旅行可以让你恢复活力——学习新事物、体验新东西,并在身体上和精神上得到你需要的休息来为你的旅程提供动力,使你回家时感到放松,这一想法真的令人兴奋。)”可知,这种慢节奏、恢复性的旅行方式有很多的好处,由此可知,她支持慢节奏、恢复性的旅行方式。故选C项。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线单词后的“More than one in three Americans lack enough sleep, not getting the minimum of seven hours of sleep that is recommended by the Center for Disease Control.(超过三分之一的美国人缺乏足够的睡眠,没有达到疾病控制中心推荐的至少七小时睡眠。)”可知,研究发现,超过三分之一的美国人缺乏足够的睡眠,也就是说许多人没有良好的睡眠,而划线单词所在句子也是研究发现的内容,由此可知,好的睡眠是很多人难以获得的事情,所以划线单词的意思与“难以获得”意义相近。故选B项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“While many hotels have provided sleep-aid items like masks, light blocking shades and comfortable pillows, sleep tourism is taking it many steps further.(虽然许多酒店提供了如眼罩、遮光窗帘和舒适枕头等助眠物品,但睡眠旅游正在将此推向更远。)”可知,此处介绍的是睡眠旅游这一趋势下酒店业做出了很多的调整,进而在下文中列举了希尔顿酒店的例子来展示一些酒店如何通过提供有助于睡眠的服务和设施来响应旅客对更好休息的需求,由此可知,希尔顿在第四段中被提及是为了提供一个实例来支持文中关于睡眠旅游趋势的观点。故选A项。
D
Have you ever felt so convinced you were right about something, that the thought of anyone challenging your belief could only mean they didn’t know as much as you did? If you have, you’re not alone.
Here’s why: you don’t have all the facts, but believe that you do. So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study. “Most people on average do this,” said the study co-author Angus Fletcher, a professor at Ohio State University.
In the experiment, 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water. One group read an article that only gave reasons why the school should merge (合并) with another that had water; the second group’s article only gave reasons for staying separate and hoping for other solutions. The third control group read all the arguments for the schools merging and for staying separate.
Fletcher’s findings showed that the two groups who received only half the facts-either just the pro-merging or the just the anti-merging arguments- -believed they had enough information to make a good decision. What Fletcher didn’t expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning.
Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally. “If you feel yourself being annoyed by someone, lake a step back and say, how much do I really know about this situation?” Fletcher says. What led to greater understanding between the different groups in the study was access to all of the facts. Once each group independently reviewed the new information, they were able to come to a general agreement more easily.
He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or coworker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are. “The odds are good that they’ll reveal something that would shift your perspective,” Fletcher says.
12 What do we tend to do during a heated debate according to the text?
A. Stick to our opinion. B. Express our feelings.
C. Hold back our emotions. D. Bring forth our thinking.
13. What does Paragraph 3 mainly talk about concerning the experiment?
A. Its process. B. Its outcome. C. Its theory. D. Its purpose.
14. What surprised Fletcher about the findings?
A. Perspectives of control groups remained unchanged.
B. Participants sought the opposite groups’ information.
C. All three groups were good at making wise decisions.
D. Views of half-informed groups changed with full facts.
15. What can be a suitable title of the text?
A. Argument: to be resolved or not B. Knowledge: the more, the better
C. Agreement: to convince all sides D. Curiosity: the key to “no conflict”
【答案】12. A 13. A 14. D 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍的是研究发现人们在辩论中倾向于坚持自己的观点,而全面了解信息和保持好奇心能够有效帮助解决冲突,促进相互理解。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中的“Here’s why: you don’t have all the facts, but believe that you do. So you may stand your ground during heated debates, according to a new study.(原因如下:你并没有掌握所有的事实,但你认为自己掌握了。因此,根据一项新的研究,在激烈的辩论中你可能会坚守自己的立场。)”可知,在激烈的辩论中,即使没有掌握全部事实,人们也倾向于坚持自己的观点。故选A项。
13题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第三段中的“In the experiment, 1,261 adults were divided into three groups to read an article about a fictional school that lacked water.(在实验中,1261名成年人被分成三组,阅读一篇关于一所缺水的虚构学校的文章。)”以及下文介绍的将参与者分成三组,每组阅读不同版本的文章可知,第三段主要介绍的是研究的过程。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中的“What Fletcher didn’t expect the most was that once everyone was given the other half of the argument, their opinions shifted to be equal to the control group who had both sets of facts from the beginning.(Fletcher最没想到的是,一旦每个人都获得了另一半的论点,他们的观点就会发生变化,与从一开始就拥有全部事实的控制组持平。)”可知,那些只了解了一半信息的小组,在获得另一半信息后,他们的观点发生了变化。故选D项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文以及文章介绍的一项关于人们在辩论中倾向于固守自己观点的现象的研究,并通过一项实验说明了全面了解信息的重要性和倒数第二段中的“Therefore, curiosity about all sides of an argument can help resolve conflicts naturally.(因此,对争论各方的好奇心可以帮助自然地解决冲突。)”以及尾段中的“He recommends that if you find yourself conflicting with a loved one or coworker, to pause and get curious about why they are thinking the way they are.(他建议,如果你发现自己与亲人或同事发生冲突时,暂停一下并对他们的想法产生好奇。)”可知,通过研究结果表明,好奇心可以帮助自然地解决冲突,并建议在与他人发生冲突时,暂停并好奇对方的想法可能会改变你的视角,这表明好奇心是解决冲突的关键因素,所以题目“好奇心:解决“冲突”的关键”可以概括文章的主题,适合作为最佳标题。故选D项。

【答案】36. whose
37. committed
38. to take
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要介绍的是屠呦呦因其研究发现青蒿素而荣获诺贝尔生理学或医学奖的背景及其科研贡献。
【36题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:今年的诺贝尔生理学或医学奖授予了屠呦呦,她的研究导致了青蒿素的发现。此处为关系词引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词Tu Youyou与空后的research之间为所属关系,所以此处使用关系代词whose。故填whose。
【37题详解】
考查形容词。句意:屠呦呦,一位尽心尽力且有耐心的科学家,于1930年12月30日在中国宁波出生,并于1955年毕业于北京大学医学院。此处为形容词与patient为并列关系,作定语修饰名词scientist,commit的形容词为committed意为“尽心尽力的”符合句意。故填committed。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:1967年,中国政府组建了一支科学家团队,目标是发现一种治疗疟疾的新方法,而屠呦呦是首批接受这一挑战的研究者之一。此处为非谓语动词作定语修饰名词researchers,名词前有序数词修饰,所以此处使用动词不定式形式作后置定语。故填to take。
B
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。
The gesture for “OK” has different meanings in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witnesses another person ____39____ (employ) the gesture might think it means money. In France, a person encountering an identical gesture may interpret it ____40____ meaning zero. However, you should avoid making this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it ____41____ (consider) impolite. Even the ____42____ (gesture) we use for “yes” and “no” differ around the world.
【答案】39. employing
40. as 41. is considered
42. gestures
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍的是“OK”手势在不同国家的文化含义及使用时的注意事项。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:在日本,如果有人看到他人使用这个手势,可能会认为它表示金钱。根据“witness+宾语+宾补”结构可知,此处为非谓语动词作宾补,employ与宾语another person之间为主动关系,且强调动作正在进行,所以此处使用现在分词形式。故填employing。
【40题详解】
考查介词。句意:在法国,遇到相同手势的人可能会将其解释为零的含义。此处为固定短语“interpret…as…”意为“把……理解为……”符合句意,所以此处使用介词as。故填as。
【41题详解】
考查谓语动词。句意:然而,在巴西和德国应避免使用这个手势,因为它被认为是不礼貌的。此处为句子的谓语,结合句意,此处强调的是当地的文化,为客观事实,所以使用一般现在时,consider与主语it之间为被动关系,所以此处使用一般现在时的被动语态,且主语为第三人称单数。故填is considered。
【42题详解】
考查名词的复数形式。句意:即使是用来表示“是”和“否”的手势在世界各地也有所不同。此处为名词作主语,gesture意为“手势”为可数名词,结合谓语动词differ可知,此处使用名词复数形式。故填gestures。
C
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。

【答案】43. boarded
44. a 45. what
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了交换生谢蕾去英国伦敦学习,起初感到不适应,半年后逐渐感到自在并觉得融入英国文化很有帮助。
【43题详解】
考查时态。句意:半年前,19岁的谢蕾告别了家人和朋友,登上了飞往伦敦的飞机。根据said可知,此处描述过去发生的事情,应用一般过去时,谓语动词用过去式。故填boarded。
【44题详解】
考查冠词。句意:起初,谢蕾不得不适应一种全新的生活。此处life为可数名词单数,应用不定冠词表泛指,所连接的单词whole的发音以辅音音素开头,故填a。
【45题详解】
考查主语从句。句意:现在,她的交换年已经过去了一半,谢蕾在英国感觉更自在了,以前看起来很奇怪的事情现在对她来说已经很正常了。空处引导主语从句,根据seemed strange before可知,主语从句中缺少主语,应用连词what引导,表示“……的事情”。故填what。

第二节(满分25分)
56. 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。
Difficult to know what one's first memory is. I remember distinctly my third birthday. A fancy cake had three candles in the middle. At that time, mom was home full-time taking care of me. Once a day, I would go for a walk with her, which I much disliked, especially buttoning up my coat. The only thing that got me through was mom’s stories. She had only three stories, all centred on a little girl, me, helping animals who got lost find their way home, one concerning a fox, one about a monkey, and one about a rabbit. I was allowed to choose which I would hear. Mom repeated them endlessly and occasionally added more details to them at my request patiently.
Time flies. At the age of 72, mom suffered a minor stroke (中风). She was sent to the hospital timely and went back home two weeks later. I thought the stroke didn’t hit her hard. But one day, she and I were talking in her living room and she asked if I wanted to look at a new chair she just bought. We went to look at it and then came back. Within a few minutes, she asked again if I wanted to see her new chair.
I went home that night and cried, thinking she might get the Alzheimer’s (阿尔兹海默症). The second day, I brought her to a doctor. After a thorough exam, I was told that it was not the Alzheimer’s. Her memory loss was the after-effect of last stroke, because it occurred in the inner part of the temporal lobe (颞叶) of her brain. As it worsened, she might struggle to recognize even her own daughter. The good news, the doctor said, was that the memory, in my mom’s case, could be regained. “She needs more exercises and more conversations,” the doctor added.
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。
From then on, the routine of my life changed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Her eyes lit up in the middle of my story.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】From then on, the routine of my life changed. I cut down my work hours and spent more time with mom. Every day, I took her for a walk just like when I was a little kid. During the walks, I told her stories. I started with the three stories she used to tell me about the little girl helping the lost animals. Mom listened attentively, sometimes with a confused look on her face, but she always seemed to enjoy it. We also had more conversations about our past, the happy memories we shared. I hoped these could help her brain to function better.
Her eyes lit up in the middle of my story. “I remember this one,” she said with a faint smile. I was overjoyed. It seemed that my efforts were paying off. “You used to tell me these stories when I was little,” I said softly. She nodded, her eyes filled with a hint of recognition. As we continued walking, she started to recall some details of the stories on her own. From that day on, her memory gradually improved. And our relationship grew even closer as we created new memories while revisiting the old ones.
