He had been a widower for over 20 years by then, losing my Mom when she was only 55 years old. His Mom, my Nana, had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone. Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room or on the front porch, sip tea and talk. It wasn't anything major. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and occasionally enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn't anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my Dad. It allowed us to gently heal any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other the time and love we hadn’t before. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world. I know too that when my own time in this world is done, when my own mission on Earth is finished, I will get to spend another afternoon with Dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love and wisdom we didn't get to share while we were here. And we will make that afternoon last an eternity (永恒). If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons I spent with my Dad during the last years of his life, it is this: It is never too late to spent time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. It doesn’t matter if they are here or in the heaven because love conquers even death. Begin today then! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a gift of lifetime. 4.

B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇记叙文。文章讲述的是作者在父亲晚年时，经常去父亲的小屋和他共度下午，喝茶聊天，修复了过去的伤痕，增进了父子关系。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“During the last few years of his life, my Dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny home that used to belong to my Nana. He had been a widower for over 20 years by then, losing my Mom when she was only 55 years old. His Mom, my Nana, had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone.(在我父亲生命的最后几年里，他住在离我不远的路上，一个曾经属于我奶奶的小房子里。那时他已经成为鳏夫20多年了，在我妈妈55岁的时候我失去了妈妈。他的妈妈，我的奶奶，最近也去世了。他残疾了，退休了，所以他花了很多时间独处。)”可知，父亲是独自居住。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my Dad. It allowed us to gently heal any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other the time and love we hadn't before. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world.(这只是一个简单的分享，一个父亲和一个儿子之间的联系，一个小时的时间只是享受彼此的陪伴。那些下午仍然是我和爸爸一起度过的最快乐的时光。它让我们温柔地治愈了在我成长过程中给彼此造成的旧伤。它使我们能够默默地给予彼此从未有过的时间和爱。这让我们在他离开这个世界之前更亲密了。)”可知，作者多次去父亲家，一起坐着喝茶聊天，主要是为了共度时光，修复关系，享受彼此的陪伴。故选B。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my Dad.(那些下午仍然是我和爸爸度过的最快乐的时光。)”可以推断父亲感到快乐，因为他们互相修复关系，享受彼此的陪伴。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons I spent with my Dad during the last years of his life, it is this: It is never too late to spent time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. It doesn’t matter if they are here or in the heaven because love conquers even death. Begin today then! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a gift of lifetime.(如果说我从父亲生命的最后几年里与他共度的那些下午中学到了什么的话，那就是：与你爱的人共度时光永远不会太晚。告诉他们你爱他们永远不会太晚。治愈一段感情，修补一颗受伤的心，永远不会太晚。他们是在这里还是在天堂都无所谓，因为爱甚至可以战胜死亡。从今天开始吧！和你爱的人共度一个下午，这些下午将成为你一生的礼物。)”可知，作者总结了他学到的道理，即与所爱之人共度时光永远不会太晚，所以主要目的是建议读者珍惜当下。故选B。 C Sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) are common in western Australia, where they normally live in wooded areas. But as forests have been cut down, cockatoos have gotten used to living near people. Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds. Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins for food. That’s not an easy job. The cockatoos must lift the heavy cover with their beaks (喙) and then walk along, pushing the cover up until it falls over. When scientists first began studying the cockatoos in 2018, only three areas in Sydney had cover-opening cockatoos. A year and a half later, cockatoos in 44 different areas knew the trick. This time the scientists decided to study further. They weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans. The scientists spent weeks studying more than 3,200 trash bins in four different areas of Sydney. They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used. In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo -stopping methods as their neighbors. The researchers say, “It’s like a race between humans and cockatoos to learn new ways of doing things. Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. As a result, humans have figured out ways to attach the items to the top of their bins.” The researchers describe the situation as a “human-wildlife conflict” “We expect these conflicts to become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild. We’d better understand the animals we share our lives with, and be patient with them,” they add. 8. What can we learn about sulphur-crested cockatoos from the text? A. They like copying humans’ behavior. B. They are highly intelligent birds. C. They are good at walking for long hours. D. They are newly found in Australia. 9. What did the scientists find in their further research? A. How humans responded to the birds’ trick. B. When the birds were able to win the battle. C. Why the birds in more areas did the trick. D. How the cockatoos learned to do the trick. 10. What do the researchers mean in the last paragraph? A. Humans have better ability to learn. B. The birds intended to make humans angry C. There are different kinds of ways to open bins. D. Humans should change their attitudes to wildlife. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. How to Help “Homeless” Cockatoos. B. A Human-Land Conflict in Australia. C. Cockatoos Caused Humans a Terrible Problem. D. A Battle for Bins between Cockatoos and Humans. 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了在澳大利亚的悉尼，由于森林的砍伐，葵花凤头鹦鹉习惯了靠近人类生活，并与人类开始了“争夺垃圾桶”大战。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins for food. That’s not an easy job. (去年，Max Planck研究所的科学家报告称，葵花凤头鹦鹉学会了如何打开垃圾箱的盖子来获取食物。这可不是一件容易的事)”和最后一段“Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. (现在，许多葵花凤头鹦鹉已经学会了如何将重物从垃圾箱上推下来)”可知，葵花凤头鹦鹉学会了如何打开垃圾箱的盖子来获取食物并学会了如何将重物从垃圾箱上推下来，所以葵花凤头鹦鹉很聪明。故选 B。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。 根据第三段“This time the scientists decided to study further. They weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans. (这次，科学家们决定进一步研究。他们不仅仅在研究葵花凤头鹦鹉，还在研究人类)”、第四段“They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used. (他们想要了解有多少垃圾箱受到了保护，以及使用了哪些方法来保护这些垃圾箱)”以及第五段“In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo -stopping methods as their neighbors. (在一个区域，超过一半的垃圾箱得到了保护。最常见的保护方法是在盖子上放置砖头或其他重物。有些人甚至在垃圾箱顶部放上橡胶蛇等物品。科学家们发现，人类之间也在互相传授防止葵花凤头鹦鹉的技巧；在大多数社区里，许多居民使用的防鹦鹉方法和他们的邻居相同)”可知，在进一步的研究中，科学家们发现了人类是如何回应葵花凤头鹦鹉的这种行为的。故选A。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段““We expect these conflicts to become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild. We’d better understand the animals we share our lives with, and be patient with them,” they add. (“我们预计，随着人类占用越来越多曾经是野生的区域，这类冲突将会变得更加常见。我们最好了解与我们共存的动物，并对它们保持耐心，”他们补充道)”可知,研究者认为是人类占领了这些野生动物的生存地，应理解它们，并对它们有耐心,，所以人类应该转变对它们的态度。故选D。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。根据文章内容尤其是第一段“Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds. (科学家报告称，澳大利亚悉尼的人们正在与这些鸟类进行一场战斗)”可知，本文主要介绍了在澳大利亚的悉尼， 葵花凤头鹦鹉与人类就垃圾桶进行着拉锯战。故选D。 D Although I am 28 years old, the time when I feel profoundly 48 is when I get nostalgic (怀旧的) for days when people were able to go on holiday without being continually contacted, because the price of sending a text message was the same as a glass of wine. WhatsApp has changed that. Unlike social media and email apps, which can be temporarily deleted, WhatsApp is the dominant method that we use to communicate with our loved ones. It is hard to switch off as a result of the constant flow of information. Deleting the app even while on holiday doesn’t feel like an option, when people use it to convey important information alongside everyday dross. And in any case, the problem isn’t the app itself, of course; it’s the fact that being available 24/7 means we have lost our sense of boundaries in terms of what to communicate and when. “Just don’t reply. What’s the big deal?” said a friend. Easier said than done! Trying to create those boundaries can make you feel like a terrible person. It’s not just about self-imposed pressure, but the subtext (潜台词) of what not replying says. Previously you could blame your silence on high phone network rates or a poor signal, but now a non-response suggests you don’t care. I have tried a number of tactics to give myself space while on vacation. I turned off read receipts because being visibly online felt very exposing. Turning off notifications came shortly afterwards. On a trip to Greece, I trialed a voice notes and video notes ban. Recently I’ve even gently talked to friends about not sending me non-urgent messages. It doesn’t matter whether we are leaving the country or holidaying at home, this precious period of quiet may be the closest thing we have to a break. Although we are getting better at knowing how to prioritize rest, there is still a necessity for us to shape our environment to enable this. We also have to consider the role we play in helping our loved ones to recover and refresh. 12. What does the author actually miss? A. Traditional ways of communication. B. The price of text messages in the past. C. Holidays without constant communication. D. Experiences of drinking wine with friends. 13. What does the underlined word “tactics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Suggestions. B. Notices. C. Reasons. D. Methods. 14. What is the subtext of not replying now according to the author? A. Too much self-generated pressure. B. The poor mobile signal in the area. C. A sign of indifference or lack of concern. D. High mobile phone communication costs. 15. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. Be brave enough to say no to unreasonable requests. B. We should have boundaries when messaging others. C. It’s necessary for people to obey the social manners. D. A suitable app makes a great difference to our break. 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. C 15. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要论述了WhatsApp等即时通讯方式让人们在假期也难以摆脱信息干扰，强调人们在交流时应设定界限。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“Although I am 28 years old, the time when I feel profoundly 48 is when I get nostalgic (怀旧的) for days when people were able to go on holiday without being continually contacted, because the price of sending a text message was the same as a glass of wine. (虽然我才28岁，但当我怀念起那些人们可以去度假而不会被不断联系的日子时，我感觉自己仿佛已经48岁了，因为那时发一条短信的价钱和一杯葡萄酒一样贵。)”可知，作者实际上怀念的是没有持续交流的假期。故选C项。 【13题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线词后文“I turned off read receipts because being visibly online felt very exposing. Turning off notifications came shortly afterwards. On a trip to Greece, I trialed a voice notes and video notes ban. Recently I’ve even gently talked to friends about not sending me non-urgent messages. (我关掉了已读回执，因为显示在线感觉很暴露隐私。不久之后我又关掉了通知。在去希腊的旅行中，我尝试禁止语音留言和视频留言。最近我甚至温和地和朋友们说不要给我发非紧急消息)”可知，这些都是作者为了在假期给自己留出空间所采取的方式。所以划线词“tactics”意思是“方法”，与“Methods”同义。故选D项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“Previously you could blame your silence on high phone network rates or a poor signal, but now a non response suggests you don’t care. (以前你可以把你的沉默归咎于高昂的网络费用或糟糕的信号，但现在不回复意味着你不在乎。)”可知，现在不回复意味着你不在乎，潜台词是冷漠或缺乏关心的表现。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，结合第二段中“it’s the fact that being available 24/7 means we have lost our sense of boundaries in terms of what to communicate and when. (事实上，随时待命意味着我们在交流内容和交流时间方面已经失去了界限感。)”以及最后一段“It doesn’t matter whether we are leaving the country or holidaying at home, this precious period of quiet may be the closest thing we have to a break. Although we are getting better at knowing how to prioritize rest, there is still a necessity for us to shape our environment to enable this. We also have to consider the role we play in helping our loved ones to recover and refresh. (不管我们是出国还是在家度假，这段宝贵的安静时间可能是我们最接近休息的时间。尽管我们越来越了解如何优先考虑休息，但我们仍然有必要塑造我们的环境来实现这一点。我们还必须考虑我们在帮助我们所爱的人恢复精力方面所扮演的角色。)”可知，作者通过本文试图传达的是我们在给别人发消息时应该有界限。故选B项。 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emoji(表情符号) and Workplace Communication In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. ___16___.

Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared. Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive. One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together. Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough. The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years. She was excited to hear from Alex and immediately gave Alex Sam’s number. 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。 With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With shaking hands, Alex picked up his cell phone. The heart racing, he had no idea what to expect. What if Sam didn’t remember him? Barely did he breathe until a voice—familiar yet different—answered, “Alex? Is that really you?” Both choked up. Words seemed inadequate to express the years of longing and the joy of reconnection. By the end of the call, there was only one thing left to do: meet in person. They agreed to meet at the old neighbourhood park. As Alex hung up, a smile spread across his face. When Alex approached the park entrance, a familiar figure came into view. Sam, running his hand through his brown thick curly hair, greeted him with a bright smile and stepped forward, arms wide open. They hugged tightly, laughing heartily as if no time at all had separated them. The two spent the entire day exchanging stories of the past and the present. Alex was touched to learn that Sam, too, had tried to find him over the years. They were picking up the story right where they left off. No matter how much time had changed, true friendship would never end. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Alex在纽约寻找失联30年的童年好友Sam，两人曾共同度过无数美好时光，但Sam搬家后失去联系。多年来，Alex通过各种方式寻找Sam，却始终无果。直到有一天Alex在旧相册中发现一张照片，通过联系夏令营组织者，最终得到了Sam的联系方式。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“Alex颤抖着双手拿起手机。”可知，第一段可描写Alex紧张地拨打电话与Sam重逢，并约定见面。 ②由第二段首句内容“当Alex走近公园入口时，一个熟悉的身影映入眼帘。”可知，第二段可描写Alex和Sam在旧社区公园见面的场景。 2.续写线索：激动地打电话——言语无法表达喜悦——约定见面——见面——拥抱——分享故事——感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①心跳加速：heart race/heart beat wildly ②同意见面：agree to meet/consent to a meeting ③拥抱：hug/embrace 情绪类 ①高兴：joy/delight ②感动的：touched/moved 【点睛】[高分句型1] Barely did he breathe until a voice—familiar yet different—answered, “Alex?

An artist B During the last few years of his life, my Dad lived just up the road from me in a tiny home that used to belong to my Nana. He had been a widower for over 20 years by then, losing my Mom when she was only 55 years old. His Mom, my Nana, had recently passed away too. He was disabled and retired so he spent a lot of time alone. Several times a week, though, I would take a walk up to his house. We would sit in the living room or on the front porch, sip tea and talk. It wasn't anything major. We talked about sports, cars, gardening, weather, and occasionally enjoyed a laugh over old memories. It wasn't anything too deep. It was just a simple sharing, a connection between a father and a son, an hour spent just enjoying each other’s company. Those afternoons remain some of my happiest time spent with my Dad. It allowed us to gently heal any old wounds we had given each other when I was growing up. It allowed us to silently give each other the time and love we hadn’t before. It allowed us to grow closer together before he left this world. I know too that when my own time in this world is done, when my own mission on Earth is finished, I will get to spend another afternoon with Dad. We will sit, talk, catch up, and quietly enjoy each other’s company. We will share all the love and wisdom we didn't get to share while we were here. And we will make that afternoon last an eternity (永恒). If there is one thing that I learned from those afternoons I spent with my Dad during the last years of his life, it is this: It is never too late to spent time with those you love. It is never too late to tell them that you love them. It is never too late to heal a relationship and mend a hurting heart. It doesn’t matter if they are here or in the heaven because love conquers even death. Begin today then! Spend an afternoon with those you love and those afternoons will become a gift of lifetime. 4.

C Sulphur-crested cockatoos (葵花凤头鹦鹉) are common in western Australia, where they normally live in wooded areas. But as forests have been cut down, cockatoos have gotten used to living near people. Scientists report that people in Sydney, Australia are in a battle with these birds. Last year, scientists at the Max Planck Institute reported that the cockatoos had learned how to open the covers of trash bins for food. That’s not an easy job. The cockatoos must lift the heavy cover with their beaks (喙) and then walk along, pushing the cover up until it falls over. When scientists first began studying the cockatoos in 2018, only three areas in Sydney had cover-opening cockatoos. A year and a half later, cockatoos in 44 different areas knew the trick. This time the scientists decided to study further. They weren’t just studying cockatoos. They were also studying humans. The scientists spent weeks studying more than 3,200 trash bins in four different areas of Sydney. They wanted to see how many bins were protected and what methods were used. In one area, over half the bins were protected. The most common way of protecting the bins was to put a brick or some other heavy objects on the cover. Some people put things like rubber snakes on the top of their bins. The scientists discovered that the humans were teaching each other tricks, too. In most neighborhoods, many people used the same cockatoo -stopping methods as their neighbors. The researchers say, “It’s like a race between humans and cockatoos to learn new ways of doing things. Now many cockatoos have learned how to push heavy items off the bins. As a result, humans have figured out ways to attach the items to the top of their bins.” The researchers describe the situation as a “human-wildlife conflict” “We expect these conflicts to become more common as humans take over more areas that used to be wild. We’d better understand the animals we share our lives with, and be patient with them,” they add. 8. What can we learn about sulphur-crested cockatoos from the text? A. They like copying humans’ behavior. B. They are highly intelligent birds. C. They are good at walking for long hours. D. They are newly found in Australia. 9. What did the scientists find in their further research? A. How humans responded to the birds’ trick. B. When the birds were able to win the battle. C. Why the birds in more areas did the trick. D. How the cockatoos learned to do the trick. 10. What do the researchers mean in the last paragraph? A. Humans have better ability to learn. B The birds intended to make humans angry C. There are different kinds of ways to open bins. D. Humans should change their attitudes to wildlife. 11. Which of the following would be the best title for the text? A. How to Help “Homeless” Cockatoos. B. A Human-Land Conflict in Australia. C. Cockatoos Caused Humans a Terrible Problem. D. A Battle for Bins between Cockatoos and Humans. D Although I am 28 years old, the time when I feel profoundly 48 is when I get nostalgic (怀旧的) for days when people were able to go on holiday without being continually contacted, because the price of sending a text message was the same as a glass of wine. WhatsApp has changed that. Unlike social media and email apps, which can be temporarily deleted, WhatsApp is the dominant method that we use to communicate with our loved ones. It is hard to switch off as a result of the constant flow of information. Deleting the app even while on holiday doesn’t feel like an option, when people use it to convey important information alongside everyday dross. And in any case, the problem isn’t the app itself, of course; it’s the fact that being available 24/7 means we have lost our sense of boundaries in terms of what to communicate and when. “Just don’t reply. What’s the big deal?” said a friend. Easier said than done! Trying to create those boundaries can make you feel like a terrible person. It’s not just about self-imposed pressure, but the subtext (潜台词) of what not replying says. Previously you could blame your silence on high phone network rates or a poor signal, but now a non-response suggests you don’t care. I have tried a number of tactics to give myself space while on vacation. I turned off read receipts because being visibly online felt very exposing. Turning off notifications came shortly afterwards. On a trip to Greece, I trialed a voice notes and video notes ban. Recently I’ve even gently talked to friends about not sending me non-urgent messages. It doesn’t matter whether we are leaving the country or holidaying at home, this precious period of quiet may be the closest thing we have to a break. Although we are getting better at knowing how to prioritize rest, there is still a necessity for us to shape our environment to enable this. We also have to consider the role we play in helping our loved ones to recover and refresh. 12. What does the author actually miss? A. Traditional ways of communication. B. The price of text messages in the past. C. Holidays without constant communication. D. Experiences of drinking wine with friends. 13. What does the underlined word “tactics” in Paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Suggestions. B. Notices. C. Reasons. D. Methods. 14. What is the subtext of not replying now according to the author? A. Too much self-generated pressure. B. The poor mobile signal in the area. C. A sign of indifference or lack of concern. D. High mobile phone communication costs. 15. What does the author try to convey through this text? A. Be brave enough to say no to unreasonable requests. B. We should have boundaries when messaging others. C. It’s necessary for people to obey the social manners. D. A suitable app makes a great difference to our break. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Emoji(表情符号) and Workplace Communication In Asia, messaging platforms are growing rapidly, with users in the hundreds of millions, both at work and play. ___16___.

Growing up together in the same neighbourhood, they had shared countless memories and adventures. From exploring hidden corners of the neighbourhood park to sharing secrets under the night sky, their friendship was a storybook tale. But when Sam’s family suddenly moved away during their teenage years, that story was left unfinished. Despite the passage of time, Alex never forgot Sam and the bond they shared. Over the years, Alex tried every possible means to locate Sam. He checked old phone books, contacted many friends, and even used social media, but all his efforts were in vain. It seemed as if Sam had disappeared into the air. Yet, the bond they once shared kept Alex’s hope alive. One day, while looking through an old photo album, Alex came across a faded picture of Sam and himself, taken during a summer camp they had attended as kids. The photo captured (记录下) Sam’s wide smile and his signature gesture, running his hand through his brown thick curly (卷曲的) hair. Alex couldn’t help recalling their happy times—swimming in the lake, telling stories by the campfire and laughing together. Feeling hopeful, He got in touch with the camp organisers, hoping they might have some clues. Luckily, the camp had maintained records of past attendees and they were able to provide Alex with a list of potential contacts. Weeks passed as Alex reached out to each name on the list. It wasn’t until he contacted the last name on the list that he finally got a breakthrough. The person on the other end of the line was Sam’s cousin, who had kept in touch with Sam over the years.
