A self-described “girly girl”, nine-year-old Zandra Cunningham was constantly begging her parents for the latest beauty products. One day her dad simply told her “no”, which inspired her to make her own.
Zandra has been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the youngest millionaires in America. When asked about her experience as a child entrepreneur (企业家), Zandra says, “It wasn’t frightening. When you’re young, you don’t have that fear mentality. ‘Maybe it’s not going to work’ never really crossed my mind.” For Zandra, it became a challenge to separate her personal interests from what her customers actually wanted. “There were a lot of things that I felt were a good idea, but it wouldn’t fit into the market,” she says. Being part of the market herself, Zandra felt she had a unique perspective that allowed her to truly listen and respond to her customers.
It started as a hobby for Zandra and her mom. They’d play around with different ingredients until they found formulas they liked “through a lot of trial and error”. Slowly, they started transforming the pastime into a brand. Zandra began selling her products at local markets, and a few years later — when Zandra was 12 years old — the family started a shop for Zandra Beauty. At the time, Zandra Beauty was one of the first brands to offer plant-based and organic beauty products at an affordable price. The 21-year-old has essentially grown up alongside her brand — but her goals have remained the same: “Our main focus is to push out amazing products that are safe for everyone and the earth.”
“There’re so many brands doing similar things, but there’s still so much room to grow,” Zandra says. “Your customers are out there, and you just have to find something that’s going to set you apart.”
4. Why was Zandra not scared when she started her business according to herself?
A. She was always very daring. B. Her parents supported her greatly.
C. Her young mind made her fearless. D. She had much previous experience.
5. Which of the following is the most important in Zandra’s opinion?
A. The need of customers. B. Changing the market.
C. The quality of an idea. D. Sharing her personal interests.
6. What kind of product does Zandra mainly pursue?
A. The one that is cheap and useful. B. The one that is enjoyed by her mom.
C. The one that is created by trial and error. D. The one that is reliable and eco-friendly.
7. What is Zandra’s attitude towards the future of her brand?
A. Concerned. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Relieved.
【答案】4 C 5. A 6. D 7. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。讲述了9岁女孩 Zandra推出了自己的美容产品,被《企业家》杂志评为美国最年轻的百万富翁之一。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When you’re young, you don’t have that fear mentality.(当你年轻的时候,你不会有那种恐惧的心态)”可知,赞德拉自己创业的时候一点都不害怕是因为她年轻的头脑使她无所畏惧。故选C。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段““There were a lot of things that I felt were a good idea, but it wouldn’t fit into the market,” she says. Being part of the market herself, Zandra felt she had a unique perspective that allowed her to truly listen and respond to her customers.(她说:“有很多东西我觉得很好,但不适合市场。”作为市场的一部分,赞德拉觉得她有一个独特的视角,使她能够真正倾听和回应她的客户)”可知,赞德拉认为应该把顾客的需求放在首位。故选A。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“At the time, Zandra Beauty was one of the first brands to offer plant-based and organic beauty products at an affordable price.The 21-year-old has essentially grown up alongside her brand — but her goals have remained the same: “Our main focus is to push out amazing products that are safe for everyone and the earth.”(当时,赞德拉美容是第一个以可承受的价格提供植物性和有机美容产品的品牌之一。这位21岁的女孩基本上是和她的品牌一起成长的,但她的目标一直保持不变:“我们的主要重点是推出对每个人和地球都安全的神奇产品。”)”可知,赞德拉追求的是可靠和环保的产品。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段““There’re so many brands doing similar things, but there’s still so much room to grow,” Zandra says. “Your customers are out there, and you just have to find something that’s going to set you apart.”(赞德拉说:“有很多品牌在做类似的事情,但仍有很大的增长空间。你的客户就在那里,你只需要找到能让你与众不同的东西。”)”可推知,赞德拉对自己品牌的未来持乐观态度。故选B。

The male western tanager (唐纳雀)looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as“green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds' survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”
“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”
8. What may cause a direct threat to western tanagers' survival?
A. Global warming. B. The duration of changing seasons.
C. Loss of habitats due to human activities. D. Decreased access to foods during migration.
9. What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers?
A It covers a wider geographic range. B. It reveals the decline in bird populations.
C. It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D. It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.
10. What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds?
A. Reduce the effects of climate change. B. Preserve ecosystems for bird species.
C. Address emissions and habitat loss. D. Expand researches on threats to birds.
11. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A bird-watching guidebook. B. A scientific magazine.
C. A website about climate change. D. A magazine about travel.
【答案】8. D 9. A 10. C 11. B
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了气候变化对候鸟生存的影响及保护措施。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival.(根据三月初发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》(PNAS)上的一项研究,这种发生在北美洲的迁移动物与其食物来源之间的时间错配,可能会对候鸟的生存造成严重后果)”可知,候鸟和食物来源之间的时间不匹配,这对候鸟的生存可能产生严重后果。由此可推知,迁徙过程中食物获取减少可能对西部唐纳雀的生存构成直接威胁。故选D。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中““By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”(“与此相反,之前的研究主要集中在北美东部的鸣禽上,”加州大学洛杉矶分校的鸟类学家摩根·廷利说,“但这项新的调查表明,西部的鸟类以及食物网中不同层次的鸟类可能同样脆弱。”)”可知,以往的研究主要集中在北美东部的鸣禽上,而这项新的研究显示了西部鸟类和食物网中不同层次的鸟类可能同样脆弱。由此可推知,这项新研究的独特之处在于它覆盖了更广泛的地理范围。故选A。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”(他希望这些信息能够强调尽快减少温室气体排放的紧迫性。“如果我们不能立即应对气候变化,那么尽量减少栖息地的丧失是非常重要的。”)”可知,作者期望能够尽快减少温室气体的排放,尽可能地阻止栖息地的丧失。故选C。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是由第二段中的“To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what's known as“green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds’ survival.(为了在漫长的旅途中补充能量,西部唐纳雀以昆虫和浆果为食。然而,随着全球气候变化导致春季提前,像西部唐纳雀这样的鸟类在到达目的地时,已经错过了所谓的“绿潮期”,即花朵开始绽放和昆虫出现的时期。根据3月初发表在《美国国家科学院院刊》(PNAS)上的一项研究,这种迁移动物与其食物来源之间的时间错配现象正在整个北美地区发生,可能会对候鸟的生存产生严重后果)”可知,本文介绍的是Scott Loss关于鸟类迁移的一项科学研究,且引用了《美国科学院院刊》的话,所以最可能来源于科研杂志。故选B。
D
When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago, right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one, I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
12. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
13. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.
C. To shelter from the rain. D. To hold an audition.
14. What do we know about the “mini community library”?
A. It provides phone service for free. B. Anyone can contribute to its collection.
C. It is popular among young readers. D. Books must be returned within a month.
15. Why did the author start to use the “library”?
A. He wanted to borrow some love stories.
B. He was encouraged by a close neighbour.
C. He found there were excellent free books.
D. He thought it was an ideal place for reading.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. B 15. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇记叙文。随着手机的普及,电话亭渐渐地被人们遗忘,作者家附近的最后一个电话亭被改造成了“迷你图书馆”,作者偶然发现那里有很多不错的免费书籍,这让作者觉得很棒。
【12题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第一段第五句“I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London.(我当时在伦敦我那狭小的合租房子里为我的剧本进行试演。)”可知,此处是指使“我”的合租房看起来更“年轻专业”一点,所以it代指“合租房”。故选B。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段第四句“So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.(所以,我打电话给电话查号台,接通了女房东的经纪人,他们给了我一把备用钥匙,刚好来得及在演员们到来之前回去。)”可知,作者在2006年使用电话亭是为了拨打紧急电话。故选A。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.(最后一个被改造成了一个“迷你社区图书馆”:任何路过的人都可以从它的书架上“借”书,以后还回来,或者用自己收藏的另一本书来替换。)”可知,任何人都可以为“迷你社区图书馆”的捐赠图书。故选B。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后四句“Then I noticed fork conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!(然后我注意到福克正在进行春季大扫除,把各种主题的大书一箱箱地扔到那里。而且这些书是免费的。这个无与伦比的价格点鼓励我尝试许多我通常不会考虑购买的标题。我还发现了一些很棒的书!)”可知,作者发现“迷你图书馆”里有很多免费的很棒的书,所以开始使用。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章介绍了中国北京的故宫博物院(紫禁城),包括它的位置、建筑特点、内部展品,以及它作为著名旅游景点的重要地位和文化意义。
【36题详解】
考查冠词。句意:它是中国古代皇家建筑的一个杰出象征。空白处后面有名词symbol,根据冠词的用法,名词前需使用不定冠词,表示“一个”含义,因为outstanding是以元音音素开头的单词,所以应填入不定冠词an,表示泛指。故填an。
【37题详解】
考查被动语态。句意:它建于明朝,耗费了大量的人力和资源。谓语动词build与主语It(指代The Forbidden City)之间是被动关系,要使用被动语态,因句子表示的是过去发生的动作,谓语动词使用一般过去时的被动语态,故填was built。
【38题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:它占地面积广阔,由许多宫殿、大厅和庭院组成。空白处在句子中作状语,使用非谓语动词,因与其逻辑主语it之间为逻辑上的主谓关系,使用现在分词,首字母大写。故填Covering。
【39题详解】
考查介词。句意:同上。consist of为固定短语,含义为“由……组成”,故填of。
【40题详解】
考查名词。句意:里面陈列着无数珍贵的宝藏。空白处在句子中做主语,使用名词,因为treasure是可数名词,且前面有“countless(无数的)”修饰,所以应填入复数形式,故填treasures。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:它们生动地反映了中国历史上不同朝代的力量和当时艺术和工艺的高水平。空白处在句子中作状语,应填入副词修饰动词reflect,故填vividly。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:多年来,故宫不仅是一个皇帝处理政务和生活的地方,而且已经成为一个世界著名的旅游景点。本句为包含定语从句的复合句,先行词是place,空白处在句子中作状语表示地点,应使用关系副词where引导定语从句,故填where。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:同上。空白处在句子中做表语表示内容,而且因为前面有不定冠词a和形容词world-famous修饰,所以应填入名词形式,故填attraction。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:每年都有来自世界各地的数百万游客来这里欣赏它的宏伟,并探索其中隐藏的深刻文化意义。空白处在句子中作状语表示目的,使用动词不定式,故填to admire。
【45题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:同上。空处为非谓语动词与meanings为被动关系,用过去分词作定语,故填hidden。

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a calm weekend, I went to the countryside to visit my grandmother. Her house, located in the heart of a village, was a harbour of quietness away from the noise of city life. As I approached her home, the familiar sight of her welcoming smile warmed my heart.
My grandmother, a woman of great wisdom and strength, had always been the backbone of our family. Her hands, though weathered with time, were skilled in the art of growing food from the soil. Her garden was her pride and her love for the land.
Upon my arrival, I noticed the wide area of her garden, awaiting the plants that would bring forth a harvest. I eagerly offered to help her with the planting, but she looked at me with concern. Her eyes reflected a mix of affection and apprehension. "Are you sure, my dear?" she asked with doubt. "It's hard work, and I don't want you to tire yourself."
Determined to assist her, I insisted on learning the skills of gardening. She saw the determination in my eyes and, with a gentle nod, agreed to teach me. Under her careful teaching, I began my learning, eager to absorb every piece of knowledge she had to offer.
The process of planting required patience. My grandmother showed me how to prepare the soil, the proper depth to dig, and the correct spacing between each seedling(幼苗). She explained the importance of each step. She taught me every single detail.
At first, my movements were clumsy(笨拙的), and I feared I might be more of trouble than a help. But my grandmother's encouragement was firm. She guided my hands, correcting my technique with a gentle touch and kind words. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm (节奏), and my action became more fluent.
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。
Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone.

When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】参考范文:
Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone. I became more careful. I recalled the skills my grandmother had taught me, including the methods of digging, planting vegetable seedlings and watering them. Happily, I made it and my grandmother praised me. Each seedling I planted was a promise of growth, and a symbol of hope for the future. The sun bore down on us, and sweat dropped from my forehead, but the satisfaction of our labor was a reward beyond measure.
When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden. I was so proud to see the seedlings I had grown myself. I knew the day I spent with my grandmother would remain in my heart forever. I helped my grandmother, and in the process, I received a gift far greater than I could have imagined. I had learned the art of gardening. More importantly, I had deepened my bond with my grandmother, a connection that would flourish like the seeds we had planted together. I look forward to gardening with my grandmother again in the future.

A self-described “girly girl”, nine-year-old Zandra Cunningham was constantly begging her parents for the latest beauty products. One day her dad simply told her “no”, which inspired her to make her own.
Zandra has been recognized by Entrepreneur magazine as one of the youngest millionaires in America. When asked about her experience as a child entrepreneur (企业家), Zandra says, “It wasn’t frightening. When you’re young, you don’t have that fear mentality. ‘Maybe it’s not going to work’ never really crossed my mind.” For Zandra, it became a challenge to separate her personal interests from what her customers actually wanted. “There were a lot of things that I felt were a good idea, but it wouldn’t fit into the market,” she says. Being part of the market herself, Zandra felt she had a unique perspective that allowed her to truly listen and respond to her customers.
It started as a hobby for Zandra and her mom. They’d play around with different ingredients until they found formulas they liked “through a lot of trial and error”. Slowly, they started transforming the pastime into a brand. Zandra began selling her products at local markets, and a few years later — when Zandra was 12 years old — the family started a shop for Zandra Beauty. At the time, Zandra Beauty was one of the first brands to offer plant-based and organic beauty products at an affordable price. The 21-year-old has essentially grown up alongside her brand — but her goals have remained the same: “Our main focus is to push out amazing products that are safe for everyone and the earth.”
“There’re so many brands doing similar things, but there’s still so much room to grow,” Zandra says. “Your customers are out there, and you just have to find something that’s going to set you apart.”
4. Why was Zandra not scared when she started her business according to herself?
A. She was always very daring. B. Her parents supported her greatly.
C. Her young mind made her fearless. D. She had much previous experience.
5. Which of the following is the most important in Zandra’s opinion?
A. The need of customers. B. Changing the market.
C. The quality of an idea. D. Sharing her personal interests.
6. What kind of product does Zandra mainly pursue?
A. The one that is cheap and useful. B. The one that is enjoyed by her mom.
C. The one that is created by trial and error. D. The one that is reliable and eco-friendly.
7 What is Zandra’s attitude towards the future of her brand?
A. Concerned. B. Hopeful. C. Doubtful. D. Relieved.

The male western tanager (唐纳雀)looks like a little flame, while females are less showy, a dusty yellow. In the spring, they prepare to move thousands of miles to the Mountain West of Central America, flying through grasslands, deserts, and occasionally, suburban yards.
To fuel them on their lengthy journey, western tanagers fill up on insects and berries. But as global climate change causes spring to start earlier, birds such as western tanagers are arriving at their destination after what’s known as“green-up”, when flowers begin blooming and insects emerge. According to a study published in early March in the journal PNAS, this kind of timing mismatch between migrants (迁移动物) and their food sources, which is happening across North America, could have serious consequences for migratory birds' survival. “In discussing climate change, we often focus on warming,” says Scott Loss, a co-author of the study. “But the length and timing of seasons — like when winter ends and spring begins — are some of the most dramatic effects of climate change.”
Loss and his colleagues used satellite imagery from 2002 to 2021 to calculate the average start of spring green-up along the typical migration routes of 150 North American bird species, then compared that timing with the current green-up. They found that spring is indeed beginning earlier along birds’ migration routes. “By contrary, previous studies have mainly focused on songbirds in Eastern North America,” says Morgan Tingley, an ornithologist at UCLA, “but this new investigation shows that bird species in the West and at different levels of the food web might be just as vulnerable (脆弱的).”
“Part of it is knowing which species are vulnerable to various threats,” Loss says. “This adds to the knowledge about vulnerability of a wide range of bird species.” And he hopes that the information will serve to highlight the urgent need to lower greenhouse-gas emissions as fast as possible. “It’s really important, if we can’t address climate change immediately, to try to stop habitat loss as much as we can.”
8. What may cause a direct threat to western tanagers' survival?
A. Global warming. B. The duration of changing seasons.
C Loss of habitats due to human activities. D. Decreased access to foods during migration.
9. What is unique about the new study on birds like western tanagers?
A. It covers a wider geographic range. B. It reveals the decline in bird populations.
C. It centers on the adaptation of bird species. D. It ensures the existence of a timing mismatch.
10. What does Loss suggest we do to safeguard migratory birds?
A. Reduce the effects of climate change. B. Preserve ecosystems for bird species.
C. Address emissions and habitat loss. D. Expand researches on threats to birds.
11. Where is the text most likely from?
A. A bird-watching guidebook. B. A scientific magazine.
C. A website about climate change. D. A magazine about travel.

When was the last time you used a telephone box? I mean to make an actual phone call — not to shelter from the rain. Ages ago right? The last time I used a phone box for its intended purpose was…2006. I was conducting auditions (试演) for my play in my tiny old shared house in London. Hoping to impress some talented actors to come and work for me for nothing, I spread some throws over the sofas and lit candles to make it seem a bit more ”young professional”.
As I rushed outdoors to empty the wastepaper baskets, the door swung shut behind me. Suddenly I was locked outside. My mobile phone was inside, but luckily there was a telephone box across the street. So, I called Directory Assistance, got put through to our landlady’s managing agent, and had a spare key sent to me with just enough time to get back in before the actors arrived.
As it has been many years since I last used one I should hardly be surprised that then are no longer any public telephones near my house. The last one standing has just been turn into a “mini community library”: any passer-by can “borrow” a book from its shelves return it later, or replace it with another title from their own collection.
For a few months after the “library” opened, I didn’t bother taking a look, as I had assumed that it would be stuffed full of cheese love stories. Then I noticed folk conducting spring cleans dropping boxes of voluminous books on various subjects there. And these books were free. This unbeatable price-point encouraged me to experiment with dozens of titles that I would never normally consider buying. And I’ve discovered some great books!
If I ever get trapped outside my house again, my local telephone box will, sadly no longer be able to connect me with my keys. But it can certainly keep me entertained while I wait for my wife to rescue me.
12. What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A. The play. B. The shared house.
C. The sofa. D. The telephone box.
13. Why did the author use the telephone box in 2006?
A. To place an urgent call. B. To put up a notice.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
On a calm weekend, I went to the countryside to visit my grandmother. Her house, located in the heart of a village, was a harbour of quietness away from the noise of city life. As I approached her home, the familiar sight of her welcoming smile warmed my heart.
My grandmother, a woman of great wisdom and strength, had always been the backbone of our family. Her hands, though weathered with time, were skilled in the art of growing food from the soil. Her garden was her pride and her love for the land.
Upon my arrival, I noticed the wide area of her garden, awaiting the plants that would bring forth a harvest. I eagerly offered to help her with the planting, but she looked at me with concern. Her eyes reflected a mix of affection and apprehension. "Are you sure, my dear?" she asked with doubt. "It's hard work, and I don't want you to tire yourself."
Determined to assist her, I insisted on learning the skills of gardening. She saw the determination in my eyes and, with a gentle nod, agreed to teach me. Under her careful teaching, I began my learning, eager to absorb every piece of knowledge she had to offer.
The process of planting required patience. My grandmother showed me how to prepare the soil, the proper depth to dig, and the correct spacing between each seedling(幼苗). She explained the importance of each step. She taught me every single detail.
At first, my movements were clumsy(笨拙的), and I feared I might be more of trouble than a help. But my grandmother's encouragement was firm. She guided my hands, correcting my technique with a gentle touch and kind words. Slowly, I began to find my rhythm (节奏), and my action became more fluent.
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。
Finally, my grandmother agreed to let me do the planting alone.

When I left that evening, I looked back at the garden.
