Jake Lee Pinnick is busy preparing food, clothing and house decorations, putting up couplets and visiting friends with his family to celebrate the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar NewYear.
In 2010, the 32-year-old American traveled to the Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in central China’s Hubei Province, to learn martial arts. Pinnick said he was very interested in Chinese Kung Fu from a young age.
When Pinnick first arrived in the Wudang Mountains, he had no earlier training or martial arts experience, so he began with a five-year training program, learning the basics and all aboutTaoist culture. Pinnick said the first six months were the hardest, because he had to train for eight or nine hours, six days a week, whatever the temperature outside.
After over a decade of hard training, he has mastered various forms of Chinese Kung Fu, including Tai Chi and Qigong, and become a guider with about 200 apprentices (学徒) in China. This year is the 13th Spring Festival that Pinnick has spent in China. He likes the Spring Festival and the traditions here. He also teaches his daughter Selina Lee Pinnick these traditions.
As the new year begins, people are starting new chapters in their lives and making resolutions. Pinnick also has many plans and wishes — he plans on making more efforts to learn the Chinese language this year. In addition to learning Chinese, Pinnick will continue to learn about traditional Chinese culture and how to play Chinese musical instruments in his leisure time, and he will share his experience on social media.
“I think that the experience I’ve had, being a foreigner coming to China and learning the culture from outside, is unique. I hope to introduce Chinese Kung Fu and traditions to more westerners,” he said.
4. What was Pinnick’s main reason for traveling to the Wudang Mountains?
A. To learn Chinese Kung Fu. B. To know about Taoist culture.
C. To visit some places of interest. D. To celebrate the Spring Festival.
5. Which of the following best describes Pinnick?

In the modern era, mirrors often show physical images (形象) as well as the mental struggles of self-awareness, especially among teenagers. The glass surfaces, found in bedrooms and bathrooms around the world, have seen the silent battles that many young individuals face.
Appearance anxiety has become a widespread issue, with social media and peer pressure acting as magnifying glasses (放大镜) that mislead them about their self-worth. Filtered (滤镜处理过的) photos posted on platforms like TikTok have created an environment where seeking perfection seems not just desirable but necessary. To make matters worse, the strong desire for the perfect appearance has led many teenagers to make unhealthy comparisons, often resulting in negative self-talks and more worries about their looks.
The deep-rooted problem can affect mental health in particular. Studies have shown that teenagers who are overly concerned with their looks are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and low self-confidence. The pressure to be up to beauty standards is huge, and it often begins at a young age. The seemingly perfect images in magazines, on television and social media platforms create an unrealistic standard for teenagers to measure themselves against. Unfortunately, it can lead to a lasting state of dissatisfaction with their looks.
To solve the problem it is important to understand that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It varies from person to person. We ought to encourage teenagers to accept their unique features and to understand that their worth is not defined by their looks. Parents, educators, and society as a whole have a role to play in developing a more acceptable and positive view of beauty. We are also supposed to teach young people that the journey towards self-acceptance is just as important as acquiring great knowledge and developing other skills.
8. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “mirrors” in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To provide examples.
C. To show his argument. D. To make comparisons.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Mental struggles of teenagers. B. Problems faced by teenagers.
C. Causes of teenage appearance anxiety. D. Effects of social media on teenagers.
10. What is a result of teenage appearance anxiety according to the text?
A. Teenagers are not satisfied with beauty standards.
B. Teenagers are more likely to suffer mental problems.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have poor physical health.
D. Teenagers are not satisfied with social media platforms.
11. What does the writer try to do in the last paragraph?
A. Call on parents to understand young people better.
B. Encourage young people to acquire more knowledge.
C. Inspire teenagers to develop as many skills as possible.
D. Give advice on how to deal with teenage appearance anxiety.

Imagine you’re walking across endless hills, with warm sunshine and the sound of birds all around. This peaceful scene is a rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes (声音环境) are falling silent as bird populations reduce.
Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园). We surveyed bird communities on 21 vineyards and our results showed that vineyards with more bird species (物种) had louder and more complex (复杂的) soundscapes.
But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease and anxiety.
So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants (参与者) across three vineyards with different soundscapes. We also improved some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ contact with nature would be affected by increasing the kinds of birds and songs.
The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had improved — reported enjoying the sounds more. They felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours.
Our study shows the direct effect that birdsong has on our happiness and presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest (投资) in protection and promote connection with nature.

15. What do the findings of the study suggest?
A. Doing deeper research. B. Building better businesses.
C. Seeking greater happiness. D. Connecting more with nature.

So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest (投资) in protection and promote connection with nature.(我们的研究显示了鸟鸣对我们幸福的直接影响,并为保护自然声景提供了强有力的论据。因此,我们希望企业和人们能够受到激励,投资于保护自然,促进与自然的联系)”可知,这项研究的结果说明了应该多与自然联系。故选D。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
Animals have their own unique ways of communicating, which play an important role in their survival and social interactions. The communication signals are various and have developed over countless generations, finely adjusted to meet their specific needs. ____16____
One common form of animal communication is through vocalizations. Birds are masters of this. For example, the melodious songs of nightingales aren’t just for our enjoyment. Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away. ____17____ The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.
____18____ Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.
Chemical signals, often in the form of pheromones (信息素), are widely used too. Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources. ____19____ Female moths can detect the pheromones of male moths from miles away, enabling them to find each other for mating.
Some animals even use visual displays. Peacocks (孔雀) spread their beautiful tails in a dazzling fan. This isn’t just for show; it’s a way to attract peahens during the breeding season. ____20____ The more brilliant the display is, the more likely they are to catch a female’s eye and pass on their genes.
In conclusion, the animal kingdom’s communication systems are a wonder of nature. Understanding these communication methods gives us a fascinating peek into the animal kingdom’s hidden social lives.
A. People recognize the signals suggesting changes.
B. It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.
C. A wagging tail can mean friendliness or excitement.
D. And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.
E. Body language is also an important way to communicate.
F. The bright colors and patterns show good health and genetic quality.
G. By understanding these signals, we can appreciate the animal world more easily.
【答案】16. G 17. D 18. E 19. B 20. F

Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away.(例如,夜莺的悠扬歌声不仅仅是为了我们的享受。雄鸟用歌声来标记自己的领地,警告其他雄鸟远离)”以及下文“The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.(歌声越有力,雌性越有可能交配)”可知,前文说夜莺的歌声不仅仅是为了让我们欣赏,雄性夜莺唱歌是为了标记领地,警告其他雄性远离。后文说歌声越有力,雌性就越有可能与之交配。D选项And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.(另一个目的是吸引雌性的注意)起到承上启下的作用,说明雄性夜莺唱歌的另一个目的。故选D项。
【18题详解】
根据下文“Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.(狼使用复杂的身体姿势系统。当狼把尾巴高高竖起时,它显示了它在群体中的力量。相反,一个放松的,松散地摇尾巴表示友好的心情。另一方面,顺从的狼会降低它们的身体,收起它们的尾巴,避免直接的目光接触,传达它们没有威胁的状态)”可知,后文举例说明狼使用复杂的身体姿势系统来交流,如尾巴高高竖起且僵硬表示在群体中的权力,尾巴放松、轻轻摆动表示友好情绪等。E选项Body language is also an important way to communicate.(肢体语言也是一种重要的交流方式)引出下文关于狼通过肢体语言交流的内容。故选E项。
【19题详解】
根据上文“Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources.(蚂蚁在寻找食物的过程中释放信息素)”可知,前文说蚂蚁会沿途释放信息素,引导同伴找到食物来源。B选项It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.(它就像一张地图,引导它们找到目的地)把信息素比作地图,形象地说明了信息素对蚂蚁找到食物来源的引导作用,符合语境。故选B项。

【导语】这是一篇新闻报道。主要报道了本周,亚洲最高树的记录被刷新,一个中国研究小组最近宣布,他们在西藏发现了一棵高达102.3米的巨型柏树。
【36题详解】
考查形容词最高级。句意:本周,亚洲最高树的记录被刷新,一个中国研究小组最近宣布,他们在西藏发现了一棵高达102.3米的巨型柏树。根据句意以及空前定冠词the可知,此处为形容词最高级形式the tallest“最高的”,满足句意要求。故填tallest。
【37题详解】
考查副词。句意:本周,亚洲最高树的记录被刷新,一个中国研究小组最近宣布,他们在西藏发现了一棵高达102.3米的巨型柏树。由副词修饰动词可知,此处为副词recently修饰动词announced。故填recently。
【38题详解】
考查动词时态和语态。句意:今年5月,北京大学领导的一项科学调查发现了这棵破纪录的大树,名为“西藏柏木”,它是在林齐市贝姆县雅鲁藏布大峡谷国家级自然保护区发现的。分析句子可知,此处为谓语动词的填入,主语The record-breaking high tree和动词find为被动关系,结合句意可知,该句为陈述过去发生的事情,所以此处为一般过去时的被动语态结构。故填was found。
【39题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:利用无人机和激光雷达绘制当地柏树聚集区域的地图,团队成员确认了这棵102.3米高的树的存在。分析句子可知,此处为非谓语动词作状语,use和逻辑主语the team members为主动关系,所以为现在分词形式。故填Using。

【43题详解】
考查冠词。句意:柏树主要分布在西藏东南部,分布面积窄,种群数量少。根据句意以及空后small population为单数意义名词可知,此处为表示泛指“一个小的数量”为泛指概念,结合small为首音节辅音单词,所以为不定冠词a的填入,和and连接的a narrow distribution保持并列结构。故填a。
【44题详解】
考查介词。句意:因此,它已被列为国家一级保护植物。分析句子可知,此处为动词短语be listed as“被列入”,满足句意要求,所以此处为介词as的填入。故填as。
【45题详解】
考查名词。句意:之前的中国树木高度纪录保持者是一棵常绿冷杉,去年由西藏科学家测量出83.4米高。根据句意可知,此处为名词holder“持有者,占有者”构成record holder“纪录保持者”,满足句意要求。故填holder。

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。
When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白、解说员) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful --- even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled, patting me gently.
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said,
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
After the play, I took home the dandelions.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 “But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. “The narrator’s part is just as important as the part of a princess.” Her wise words inspired me with courage and confidence. But on the evening of the performance, I suddenly felt nervous backstage again. My teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give you this,” she said, handing me some dandelions. Looking at them, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down.
After the play, I took home the dandelions. My mother made them into dried flowers and put them into a glass bottle. Every time I see them, I am reminded of this unforgettable experience. I have taken part in many school plays, tried different roles and made many speeches ever since. Gradually, I’ve become really good at performing and public speaking, seldom feeling nervous onstage now. For this, I am forever grateful to my mother, who have made me what I am today.
【解析】
【导语】本文以故事发展的顺序为线索展开。作者在学校戏剧彩排时,由于紧张而失去了公主的角色,被换成了旁白角色,作者非常伤心,和妈妈一起在花园里散步时,妈妈看出了她的心事并且用蒲公英做例子告诉她“不是每个人都能做公主,做不成公主不是什么丢人的事情”。
【详解】1.段落续写:
①由第一段首句内容“她说,但你会成为一名出色的旁白。”可知,第一段可描写作者在妈妈的鼓励下如何把“旁白”的角色扮演得很好,又因为下一段开头提到了“the dandelions”,所以本段一定要安排它的出现,要讲出妈妈将蒲公英托老师给了作者的细节。
②由第二段首句内容“演出结束后,我带着蒲公英回了家。”可知,第二段可描写作者在蒲公英的激励和鼓舞之下又进一步取得了很多好的成绩,进而表达对妈妈的感激之情。
2.续写线索:做旁白——紧张——妈妈送来了蒲公英——镇静下来——成功完成演出——取得更多成绩——感激妈妈
3.词汇激活
行为类
①激励:inspire/encourage
②使镇静:calm down/ease down/smooth down
③使某人想起:remind sb of sth/call up
情绪类
①勇气:courage/bravery
②紧张的:nervous/tense
【点睛】[高分句型1] Looking at them, I knew my mother was out there for me, which calmed me down.(使用了现在分词短语作状语和which引导非限制性定语从句)
[高分句型2] Every time I see them, I am reminded of this unforgettable experience. (使用了every time引导时间状语从句)

Jake Lee Pinnick is busy preparing food, clothing and house decorations, putting up couplets and visiting friends with his family to celebrate the Spring Festival, or the Chinese Lunar NewYear.
In 2010, the 32-year-old American traveled to the Wudang Mountains, a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in central China’s Hubei Province, to learn martial arts. Pinnick said he was very interested in Chinese Kung Fu from a young age.
When Pinnick first arrived in the Wudang Mountains, he had no earlier training or martial arts experience, so he began with a five-year training program, learning the basics and all aboutTaoist culture. Pinnick said the first six months were the hardest, because he had to train for eight or nine hours, six days a week, whatever the temperature outside.
After over a decade of hard training, he has mastered various forms of Chinese Kung Fu, including Tai Chi and Qigong, and become a guider with about 200 apprentices (学徒) in China. This year is the 13th Spring Festival that Pinnick has spent in China. He likes the Spring Festival and the traditions here. He also teaches his daughter Selina Lee Pinnick these traditions.
As the new year begins, people are starting new chapters in their lives and making resolutions. Pinnick also has many plans and wishes — he plans on making more efforts to learn the Chinese language this year. In addition to learning Chinese, Pinnick will continue to learn about traditional Chinese culture and how to play Chinese musical instruments in his leisure time, and he will share his experience on social media.
“I think that the experience I’ve had being a foreigner coming to China and learning the culture from outside, is unique. I hope to introduce Chinese Kung Fu and traditions to more westerners,” he said.
4. What was Pinnick’s main reason for traveling to the Wudang Mountains?
A. To learn Chinese Kung Fu. B. To know about Taoist culture.
C. To visit some places of interest. D. To celebrate the Spring Festival.
5. Which of the following best describes Pinnick?
A. Well-rounded. B. Generous. C. Hardworking. D. Selfless.
6. What can we infer about Pinnick according to the article?
A. He planned to open a Chinese Kung Fu school.
B. He became skillful at different kinds of Kung Fu.
C. He asked his daughter to learn Chinese musical instruments.
D. He practised Kung Fu before coming to the Wudang Mountains.
7. Why does Pinnick hope to share his experience on social media?
A. To become famous online. B. To take in more apprentices.
C. To show off his unique experience. D. To act as a bridge between cultures.

In the modern era mirrors often show physical images (形象) as well as the mental struggles of self-awareness, especially among teenagers. The glass surfaces, found in bedrooms and bathrooms around the world, have seen the silent battles that many young individuals face.
Appearance anxiety has become a widespread issue, with social media and peer pressure acting as magnifying glasses (放大镜) that mislead them about their self-worth. Filtered (滤镜处理过的) photos posted on platforms like TikTok have created an environment where seeking perfection seems not just desirable but necessary. To make matters worse, the strong desire for the perfect appearance has led many teenagers to make unhealthy comparisons, often resulting in negative self-talks and more worries about their looks.
The deep-rooted problem can affect mental health in particular. Studies have shown that teenagers who are overly concerned with their looks are more likely to experience anxiety, depression, and low self-confidence. The pressure to be up to beauty standards is huge, and it often begins at a young age. The seemingly perfect images in magazines, on television and social media platforms create an unrealistic standard for teenagers to measure themselves against. Unfortunately, it can lead to a lasting state of dissatisfaction with their looks.
To solve the problem, it is important to understand that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept. It varies from person to person. We ought to encourage teenagers to accept their unique features and to understand that their worth is not defined by their looks. Parents, educators, and society as a whole have a role to play in developing a more acceptable and positive view of beauty. We are also supposed to teach young people that the journey towards self-acceptance is just as important as acquiring great knowledge and developing other skills.
8. What is the author’s purpose in mentioning “mirrors” in paragraph 1?
A. To introduce the topic. B. To provide examples.
C. To show his argument. D. To make comparisons.
9. What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?
A. Mental struggles of teenagers. B. Problems faced by teenagers.
C. Causes of teenage appearance anxiety. D. Effects of social media on teenagers.
10. What is a result of teenage appearance anxiety according to the text?
A. Teenagers are not satisfied with beauty standards.
B. Teenagers are more likely to suffer mental problems.
C. Teenagers are more likely to have poor physical health.
D. Teenagers are not satisfied with social media platforms.
11. What does the writer try to do in the last paragraph?
A. Call on parents to understand young people better.
B. Encourage young people to acquire more knowledge.
C. Inspire teenagers to develop as many skills as possible.
D. Give advice on how to deal with teenage appearance anxiety.
D
Imagine you’re walking across endless hills, with warm sunshine and the sound of birds all around. This peaceful scene is a rare one in the modern world. Our natural soundscapes (声音环境) are falling silent as bird populations reduce.
Our study explores the link between birdsong and people, specifically on English vineyards (葡萄园). We surveyed bird communities on 21 vineyards and our results showed that vineyards with more bird species (物种) had louder and more complex (复杂的) soundscapes.
But does the silencing of our soundscapes matter to us? The short answer is yes. There is growing evidence about the health benefits of spending time in nature, including reducing risks of heart disease and anxiety.
So as part of our research, we explored the experience of 186 wine-tour participants (参与者) across three vineyards with different soundscapes. We also improved some vineyard soundscapes with hidden speakers, which played the songs of five additional bird species. This was designed to see how participants’ contact with nature would be affected by increasing the kinds of birds and songs.
The results were fascinating. Visitors who experienced louder and more complex sounds — whether on vineyards with naturally richer soundscapes or on those we had improved — reported enjoying the sounds more. They felt more connected to nature and more satisfied with their tour. With richer soundscapes, they felt more mindful and positive during the tours.
Our study shows the direct effect that birdsong has on our happiness and presents a strong argument for protecting natural soundscapes. So, we hope businesses and people will be inspired to invest (投资) in protection and promote connection with nature.

Animals have their own unique ways of communicating, which play an important role in their survival and social interactions. The communication signals are various and have developed over countless generations, finely adjusted to meet their specific needs. ____16____
One common form of animal communication is through vocalizations. Birds are masters of this. For example, the melodious songs of nightingales aren’t just for our enjoyment. Males sing to mark their territory, warning other males to stay away. ____17____ The more powerful the song is, the more likely the female is to mate.
____18____ Wolves use a complex system of body postures. When a wolf holds its tail high and stiff, it shows its power in its group. In contrast, a relaxed, loosely wagging tail indicates a friendly mood. Submissive wolves, on the other hand, will lower their bodies, tuck their tails, and avoid direct eye contact, communicating their non-threatening status.
Chemical signals, often in the form of pheromones (信息素), are widely used too. Ants release pheromones along its way to lead fellow ants to food sources. ____19____ Female moths can detect the pheromones of male moths from miles away, enabling them to find each other for mating.
Some animals even use visual displays. Peacocks (孔雀) spread their beautiful tails in a dazzling fan. This isn’t just for show; it’s a way to attract peahens during the breeding season. ____20____ The more brilliant the display is, the more likely they are to catch a female’s eye and pass on their genes.
In conclusion, the animal kingdom’s communication systems are a wonder of nature. Understanding these communication methods gives us a fascinating peek into the animal kingdom’s hidden social lives.
A. People recognize the signals suggesting changes.
B. It’s like a map guiding them to find the destination.
C. A wagging tail can mean friendliness or excitement.
D. And another purpose is to catch the attention of a female.
E. Body language is also an important way to communicate.
F. The bright colors and patterns show good health and genetic quality.
G. By understanding these signals, we can appreciate the animal world more easily.

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。
When I was little, I lived in a house with a beautiful garden full of all kinds of flowers, and roses were the most beautiful of them. There was nothing I enjoyed more than sitting in the garden with my mother as she read stories to me. When I was in primary school and old enough to read, I enjoyed reading stories aloud to her.
I will never forget one day when I was in the third grade. I had been picked to be the princess in the school play, and for weeks my mother had rehearsed (排练) my lines so hard with me. But no matter how easily I acted at home, as soon as I stepped onstage, every word disappeared from my head. Finally, my teacher took me aside. She explained that she had written a narrator’s (旁白、解说员) part to the play, and asked me to change roles. Her word, kindly expressed, still hurt, especially when I saw my part go to another girl.
I didn’t tell my mother what had happened when I went home after school that day. But she sensed my pain. Instead of suggesting we practice my lines, she asked if I wanted to take a walk in the garden.
It was May and roses were blossoming and, under the trees, we could also see yellow dandelions (蒲公英) in the grass, as if a painter had painted our garden with red, yellow and green. I watched my mother casually bend down by one dandelion. “I think I’m going to dig up all these weeds,” she said, pulling it up by its roots. “From now on, we’ll have only roses in this garden.”
“But I like dandelions,” I protested. “All flowers are beautiful --- even dandelions.”
My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower is beautiful in its own way, isn’t it?” She asked thoughtfully. I nodded, pleased that I had won her over. “And that is true of people too,” she added. “Not everyone can be a princess, but there is no shame in that.” Relieved that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry as I told her what had happened. She listened and smiled, patting me gently.
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said.
注意:
1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右;
2.续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好。
“But you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said,

After the play, I took home the dandelions.
