The company surveyed 3,000 people from 27 countries on their “agreeableness” (亲和性) from the popular Big 5 Personality Test in April. People were given a score between 1 and 40, the higher the score, the friendlier the country. Estonia, 32.58 Estonia is ranked as one of the friendliest countries for travelers. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 1,000 islands, Estonia has friendly locals who are known to be respectful and polite to foreigners. Belgium, 32.5 As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich history and various attractions. English is easily spoken there, which makes it easy to meet locals. Belgians are known to be polite and social, so you can feel comfortable asking locals for directions. Germany, 32.66 Some of Europe’s major rivers, like the Rhine and Danube, flow through Germany. Thanks to its central situation, Germany has more neighbors than any other European country. There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany. Germans aren’t known for engaging in small talk but will help you out if you’re in need. South Africa, 34.63 South Africa is also known as the “Rainbow Nation”. Since the air is fresh and the sunshine is in abundant supply, rainbows often appear after the rain. But the most important reason is its multi-culture, with white, black, yellow, varicolored people contributing to the unique landscape of South Africa. 1. Which of the countries is the friendliest? A. Estonia. B. Belgium. C. Germany. D. South Africa. 2. What do Belgium and Germany have in common? A. Large land areas. B. Bad small talkers. C. The number of neighbors. D. The history worth exploring. 3. What is the main reason why South Africa is called the “Rainbow Nation”? A. Fresh air. B. Rich culture. C. Plenty of sunshine. D. Beautiful landscape. 【答案】1. D 2. D 3. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了Remitly公司最近公布的新报告中的四个世界上最友好的国家。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“People were given a score between 1 and 40, the higher the score, the friendlier the country. (人们的得分在1到40之间，得分越高，这个国家越友好)”和下面四段每段的小标题“Estonia, 32.58 (爱沙尼亚，32.58分)”、“Belgium, 32.5 (比利时，32.5分)”、“Germany, 32.66 (德国，32.66分)”及“South Africa, 34.63 (南非，34.63分)”可知，这四个国家中南非得分最高，是最友好的国家。故选D项。 【2题详解】 细节理解题。根据Belgium部分的“As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich history and various attractions. (作为一个面积只有30528平方公里的西欧国家，比利时以其丰富的历史和各种景点而闻名)”和Germany部分的“There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany. (德国有很多历史和文化有待发掘)”可知，比利时和德国的共同之处是它们的历史值得探索。故选D项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据South Africa部分的“But the most important reason is its multi-culture, with white, black, yellow, varicolored people contributing to the unique landscape of South Africa. (但最重要的原因是它的多元文化，白人、黑人、黄种人和各种肤色的人构成了南非独特的景观)”可知，南非被称为“彩虹之国”的主要原因是其丰富的文化。故选B项。 B When a hurricane hit her hometown, Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn’t know how strong the storm would be. Karen was 84 years old and depended on a wheelchair to get around because she was missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she refused. Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently (猛烈地) outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action. First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began to swim. Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. He is obviously a strong swimmer, but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials. There was also a strong current, and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s. As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies (自拍) to show his worried family that he was okay. Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears! “If it would’ve been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t be here,” Johnny said. “She’s never been happier to see me.” Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections (感染) she got in the water. The family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’re grateful just to be here. 4. Why did Karen refuse to leave her house when the hurricane came? A. She missed one of her legs. B. She was too old to move. C. She lost her wheelchair and was unable to leave. D. She thought the storm was not violent. 5. What challenge did Johnny face while swimming to his mother? A. Sharks in the water. B. Strong current. C. Lack of swimming skills. D. Cold temperature 6. Why did Johnny take selfies along the way to Karen’s home? A. To report his safety to his family. B. To record his swimming trip. C. To show off his swimming skills. D. To warn other rescuers of danger. 7. What was the family’s attitude after losing everything? A. They were depressed. B. They were angry. C. They were thankful to be alive. D. They were bitter about the loss. 【答案】4. D 5. B 6. A 7. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了飓风席卷时，约翰尼游了四个街区去救自己因为缺少一条腿而坐轮椅的母亲凯伦•劳德的故事。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“When a hurricane hit her hometown, Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn’t know how strong the storm would be.(当飓风袭击她的家乡时，凯伦•劳德选择留在家里，因为她不知道这场风暴会有多猛烈)”可知，凯伦认为暴风雨并不猛烈。故选D。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“There was also a strong current, and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s.(当时水流也很湍急，在去凯伦家大部分行程中，他都不得不逆水游泳)”可知，湍急的水流是约翰尼游泳去救母亲途中遇到的挑战。故选B。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies (自拍) to show his worried family that he was okay.(约翰尼在水里游的时候，时不时停下来自拍，让担心的家人知道他没事。”可知，约翰尼穿过水面时还不时停下来自拍，是为了向忧心忡忡的家人报告他的安全状况。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“The family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’re grateful just to be here.(这个家庭失去了他们拥有的一切，包括房子，但他们庆幸自己还活着)”可推知，他们在失去一切后的态度是庆幸的、心存感恩的。故选C。 C Educators and experts worldwide are urging (督促) parents to take action to prevent children from being addicted (沉溺于) to the Internet. Even kids admit to feeling better without electronic (电子的) devices, such as pads and cellphones, and say they wish adults would do more to help them learn and grow without wasting too much time online. So where does this all leave us? What’s a responsible parent to do? When it comes to kids and screens, there’s a big difference between children spending hours online without parental controls and children interacting with carefully selected content (内容) for 20 minutes at a time with a parent. Luckily, there's also a lot of in-between. Many parental control apps are designed to create safer online spaces for kids. It’s too early to say which helps most, but the most essential feature of any set of parental controls is the ability to use them to help kids grow and learn. Take Angel AI for example. Angel AT is an app expected out this fall that allows kids to explore the Internet while holding the digital hand of an AI built specifically to keep them out of harm's way. Angel understands age-proper content and sensitive (敏感的) topics that are best handled by an adult. The content Angel looks at or creates is secured and no searches are linked to any personal information. “We’re not in the business of taking the Internet away from kids; as any parent can prove, kids want what they can’t have, ” Tim Estes, CEO of Angel Al, writes via email. “The online world also can be an incredibly valuable resource for kids, who risk missing out on key learning opportunities, as well as the chance to build healthy online habits, if they don’t explore the Internet earlier on in life.” Parental control apps, as a tool we can actually use for good, can be a sort of protective bubble for kids as they surf the Internet. 8. What does the underlined word “in-between” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Time spent on the Internet by kids. B. Technology for managing kids’ screen time. C. Content suitable for children to select. D. Advice on saving kids from the Internet. 9. How does the author describe parental control apps? A. By making a prediction and suggesting solutions. B. By bringing up a question and presenting the answers. C. By comparing different apps and listing their advantages D. By giving an example and explaining how it works. 10. What’s the attitude of Tim Estes towards the Internet? A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 11. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To encourage parents to help their kids grow. B. To call for the development of online learning. C. To warn parents to keep kids away from the Internet. D. To introduce a new way to guide children’s Internet use. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. C 11. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要围绕家长如何防止孩子沉迷网络这一问题展开，介绍了家长控制类应用程序这一工具，通过举例AngelAI说明了这类应用的作用和工作原理，强调其可以作为一种保护孩子上网的方式，目的是向家长介绍一种引导孩子合理使用互联网的新方法。 【8题详解】 词句猜测题，根据划线词上文“When it comes to kids and screens, there's a big difference between children spending hours online without parental controls and children interacting with carefully selected content for 20 minutes at a time with a parent.(当谈到孩子和屏幕时，孩子在没有家长控制的情况下花几个小时上网，与孩子在家长陪同下一次花20分钟与精心挑选的内容互动之间有很大的区别)”可知，孩子们在没有家长控制的情况下花费数小时上网与在家长陪同下与精心挑选的内容互动20分钟之间有很大区别，结合划线词所在的句子“Luckily, there’s also a lot of in-between,(幸运的是，也有很多……)”和下文的“Many parental control apps are designed to create safer online spaces for kids.(许多家长控制应用程序旨在为孩子们创造更安全的在线空间。)”可知，划线单词in-between是指管理孩子屏幕时间的技术。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题，根据第三段中“Take Angel Al for example. Angel A is an app expected out this fall that allows kids to explore the Internet while holding the digital hand of an Al built specifically to keep them out of harm's way. Angel understands age-proper content and sensitive topics that are best handled by an adult, The content Angel looks at or creates is secured and no searches are linked to any personal information.(以AngeLAI为例。AngelAI是一款预计今年秋季推出的应用程序，它允许孩子们在探索互联网时握住一个专门为保护他们免受伤害而构建的人工智能的数字之手。Angel理解适合年龄的内容和最好由成年人处理的敏感话题。Angel查看或创建的内容是安全的，并且没有任何搜索与个人信息相关联)”可推知，作者是通过AngelA1为例，解释其工作原理来描述家长控制类应用程序。故选D项。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“ “We’re not in the business of taking the Internet away from kids; as any parent can prove, kids want what they can’t have,” Tim Estes, CEO of Angel Al, writes via email. “The online world also can be an incredibly valuable resource for kids, who risk missing out on key learning opportunities, as well as the chance to build healthy online habits, if they don’t explore the Internet earlier on in life.”(“我们不是要把互联网从孩子们手中夺走；任何一位家长都可以证明，孩子们想要他们得不到的东西。”Angel AI的首席执行官蒂姆·埃斯蒂斯在电子邮件中写道。“对孩子们来说，网络世界也可能是一个极其宝贵的资源，如果他们不在生命早期探索互联网，就有可能错过关键的学习机会，也有可能错过养成健康上网习惯的机会。”)”可推知，他对互联网持支持态度。故选C项。 【11题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Educators and experts worldwide are urging(智促) parents to take action to prevent children from being addicted to the Internet, even kids admit to feeling better without electronic devices, such as pads and cellphones. and say they wish adults would do more to help them learn and grow without wasting too much time online. So where does this all leave us? What's a responsible parent to do?(世界各地的教育工作者和专家都在敦促父母采取行动，防止孩子沉迷于互联网。即使是孩子们也承认没有电子设备会感觉更好，并表示他们希望成年人能做更多的事情来帮助他们学习和成长，而不会在网上浪费太多时间。那么这一切给我们留下了什么呢?负责任的父母该怎么做?)”及第三段中“Many parental control apps are designed to create safer online spaces for kids,(许多家长控制应用程序旨在为孩子创建更安全的在线空间)”及“Take Angel Al for example. Angel Al is an app expected out this fall that allows kids to explore the Internet while holding the digital hand of an Al built specifcally to keep them out of harm's way.(以AngeAI为例。Angel AI是一款预计今年秋季推出的应用程序，它允许孩子们在探索互联网时握住一个专门为保护他们免受伤害而构建的人工智能的数字之手)”可知，文章主要介绍了家长控制类应用程序这一工具。由此推知，作者写这篇文章的目的是介绍一种指导孩子使用互联网的新方法。故选D项。 D Yesterday after work, the boss told me I was fired. When I walked along a riverbed sadly, I suddenly realized it was New Year’s Day, a day to start afresh. I passed by a man holding his son one or two years old.

As I reached home, I was filled with great thanks and hope for life, which took me a long time to find. Actually, happiness could be simple and easy.

She was known far and wide for her gentle behaviour and selfless kindness. Despite having very little. Mei-Ling was always ready to share what she had with others, whether it was a warm meal or a comforting smile. One cool Autumn day, as Mei-Ling was working in her garden, she noticed a young traveller Wei sitting by the roadside looking very tired. Without hesitation (犹豫), Mei-Ling invited Wei into her house and offered him food and water. Grateful beyond words, Wei shared stories of his travels and the difficulties he had faced along the way. As days turned into weeks. Wei helped Mei-Ling around the house. In return, Mei-Ling shared her wisdom with Wei, teaching him about the importance of compassion (同情) and gratitude (感恩). They became good friends with each passing day. And Wei found himself deeply influenced by Mei-Ling’s simple yet meaningful way of life. One evening, under the glow of the harvest moon, Wei asked Mei-Ling a question that had been weighing on his mind. “Mci-Ling,” he began hesitantly, “what makes someone truly beautiful?” Mei-Ling smiled knowingly and looked at the garden they had taken care of together. “True beauty,” Mei-Ling replied softly, “is not found in outward appearances or material wealth. It is in the kindness we show to others, the love we share with those around us, and the peace we bring to our hearts.” Wei nodded thoughtfully. Wei eventually said goodbye to Mei-Ling, setting off on a new journey with a heart full of gratitude and a soul enriched by Mei-Ling’s teachings. Meanwhile, Mei-Ling continued to take care of her garden and welcome tired travellers into her home. The villagers admired Mei-Ling not only for her generosity but also for her wisdom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One winter day, a big storm attacked the village, leaving many homes damaged (破坏). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Mei-Ling grew older, her health got worse, yet her spirit remained as ever. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】One possible version : One winter day a big storm attacked the village, leaving many homes damaged (破坏). Mei-Ling, despite her age, gathered the villagers to work together, providing shelter and food to those in need. Her kindness inspired a spirit of unity among the villagers, who rebuilt their homes stronger than before. The villagers, grateful for her years of selfless service, gathered to express their appreciation. They brought gifts of fruits and vegetables from their harvests, expressing gratitude for Mei-Ling’s kindness. However, Mei-Ling just smiled and refused, saying, “I really don’t need these. please pass them on to those still in hunger.” As Mei-Ling grew older, her health got worse, yet her spirit remained as ever. she often said, “I’m just an old woman. I did little things as possible as I could, trying to make this world a little warmer.” she knew that her legacy would live on in the hearts of those she had touched. And so, in that quiet village, Mei-Ling’s legacy continued to shine brightly — a beacon of true beauty that reminded everyone that kindness, compassion, and love were the most precious treasures of all. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。在一个美丽的村庄里，住着一位名叫梅玲的老妇人，她以温柔和无私著称。尽管自己拥有的不多，但她总是乐于与他人分享。一个秋日，梅玲邀请疲惫的旅人韦进屋，并给予食物和水。随着时间推移，两人成为好友，梅玲教会了韦关于同情与感恩的重要性。最终，韦满心感激地继续旅程，而梅玲继续照顾花园，迎接更多的旅人。村民们都敬佩梅玲的慷慨与智慧。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首内容“一个冬天的一天，一场大风暴袭击了这个村庄，造成许多房屋受损。”可知，第一段可以灾害发生后梅玲的行动和对人们的影响。 ②由第二段句首内容“随着年龄的增长，梅玲的身体越来越差，但她的精神却一如既往。”可知，第二段可以描写梅玲的精神对大家的持续的影响。 2.续写线索：风暴袭击—组织提供住所和食物—激发团结精神—身体越来越差—精神遗产继续闪耀 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①召集：gather/ convene ②一起工作：work together/cooperate with each other ③提供：provide/ supply 情绪类 ①感激：appreciation/ gratitude ②感动：touch/ move 【点睛】【高分句型1】Mei-Ling, despite her age, gathered the villagers to work together, providing shelter and food to those in need.

The company surveyed 3,000 people from 27 countries on their “agreeableness” (亲和性) from the popular Big 5 Personality Test in April. People were given a score between 1 and 40, the higher the score, the friendlier the country. Estonia, 32.58 Estonia is ranked as one of the friendliest countries for travelers. Home to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites and more than 1,000 islands, Estonia has friendly locals who are known to be respectful and polite to foreigners. Belgium, 32.5 As a western European country at only 30,528 square kilometers, Belgium is known for its rich history and various attractions. English is easily spoken there, which makes it easy to meet locals. Belgians are known to be polite and social, so you can feel comfortable asking locals for directions. Germany, 32.66 Some of Europe’s major rivers, like the Rhine and Danube, flow through Germany. Thanks to its central situation, Germany has more neighbors than any other European country. There’s a lot of history and culture to uncover in Germany. Germans aren’t known for engaging in small talk but will help you out if you’re in need. South Africa, 34.63 South Africa is also known as the “Rainbow Nation”. Since the air is fresh and the sunshine is in abundant supply, rainbows often appear after the rain. But the most important reason is its multi-culture, with white, black, yellow, varicolored people contributing to the unique landscape of South Africa. 1. Which of the countries is the friendliest? A. Estonia. B. Belgium. C. Germany. D. South Africa. 2. What do Belgium and Germany have in common? A. Large land areas. B. Bad small talkers. C. The number of neighbors. D.

B When a hurricane hit her hometown, Karen Lauder chose to stay at home because she didn’t know how strong the storm would be. Karen was 84 years old and depended on a wheelchair to get around because she was missing a leg. Her son, Johnny Lauder, tried repeatedly to get her to leave, but she refused. Johnny and his whole family live within a few blocks of one another. They kept in touch with Karen as the storm continued violently (猛烈地) outside, watching the water rising dangerously all around them. When Karen reported that the water in her house had reached her bottom, Johnny knew he had to take action. First, Johnny ensured his sons and their pets were taken care of. Then, he jumped out of a window and began to swim. Johnny used to work as a rescue swimmer. He is obviously a strong swimmer, but the flood water was filled with dangerous materials. There was also a strong current, and he had to swim against it for most of his trip to Karen’s. As he made his way through the water, Johnny stopped periodically to snap selfies (自拍) to show his worried family that he was okay. Johnny was racing against the clock. He knew he only had a short period of time to get there before the water rose above Karen’s head. It took him 40 minutes to swim four blocks. The sound of Karen shouting inside was music to his ears! “If it would’ve been 20 minutes later, she wouldn’t be here,” Johnny said. “She’s never been happier to see me.” Karen is now safe, although she is in the hospital being treated for infections (感染) she got in the water. The family have all lost everything they owned, including their houses, but they’re grateful just to be here. 4. Why did Karen refuse to leave her house when the hurricane came? A. She missed one of her legs. B. She was too old to move. C. She lost her wheelchair and was unable to leave. D. She thought the storm was not violent. 5. What challenge did Johnny face while swimming to his mother? A. Sharks in the water. B. Strong current. C. Lack of swimming skills. D. Cold temperature 6. Why did Johnny take selfies along the way to Karen’s home? A. To report his safety to his family. B. To record his swimming trip. C. To show off his swimming skills. D. To warn other rescuers of danger. 7. What was the family’s attitude after losing everything? A. They were depressed. B. They were angry. C. They were thankful to be alive. D. They were bitter about the loss. C Educators and experts worldwide are urging (督促) parents to take action to prevent children from being addicted (沉溺于) to the Internet. Even kids admit to feeling better without electronic (电子的) devices, such as pads and cellphones, and say they wish adults would do more to help them learn and grow without wasting too much time online. So where does this all leave us? What’s a responsible parent to do? When it comes to kids and screens, there’s a big difference between children spending hours online without parental controls and children interacting with carefully selected content (内容) for 20 minutes at a time with a parent. Luckily, there's also a lot of in-between. Many parental control apps are designed to create safer online spaces for kids. It’s too early to say which helps most, but the most essential feature of any set of parental controls is the ability to use them to help kids grow and learn. Take Angel AI for example. Angel AT is an app expected out this fall that allows kids to explore the Internet while holding the digital hand of an AI built specifically to keep them out of harm's way. Angel understands age-proper content and sensitive (敏感的) topics that are best handled by an adult. The content Angel looks at or creates is secured and no searches are linked to any personal information. “We’re not in the business of taking the Internet away from kids; as any parent can prove, kids want what they can’t have, ” Tim Estes, CEO of Angel Al, writes via email. “The online world also can be an incredibly valuable resource for kids, who risk missing out on key learning opportunities, as well as the chance to build healthy online habits, if they don’t explore the Internet earlier on in life.” Parental control apps, as a tool we can actually use for good, can be a sort of protective bubble for kids as they surf the Internet. 8. What does the underlined word “in-between” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Time spent on the Internet by kids. B. Technology for managing kids’ screen time. C. Content suitable for children to select. D. Advice on saving kids from the Internet. 9. How does the author describe parental control apps? A. By making a prediction and suggesting solutions. B. By bringing up a question and presenting the answers. C. By comparing different apps and listing their advantages D. By giving an example and explaining how it works. 10. What’s the attitude of Tim Estes towards the Internet? A. Fearful. B. Disapproving. C. Supportive. D. Uncertain. 11. What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To encourage parents to help their kids grow. B. To call for the development of online learning. C. To warn parents to keep kids away from the Internet. D. To introduce a new way to guide children’s Internet use. D Yesterday after work, the boss told me I was fired. When I walked along a riverbed sadly, I suddenly realized it was New Year’s Day, a day to start afresh. I passed by a man holding his son one or two years old. The baby’s face was in pure joy, and his innocent (天真的) eyes were full of wonder. The simple sweetness of the baby made me moved. Walking on, I saw a young couple repairing their bicycle. They smiled at me and said, ‌“Happy New Year!” I smiled and wished them the same. It was a simple thing, but for a moment it brought me a sudden joy. I kept walking, enjoying the cheerful singing of birds. With people around laughing out loud, an old woman immersed herself in her sewing. She didn’t seem either happy or sad. A feeling of timeless peace flowed through me and all fear of what the future might bring disappeared. I thanked her in my heart, and moved on. As I reached home, I was filled with great thanks and hope for life, which took me a long time to find. Actually, happiness could be simple and easy. Now I knew whatever the New Year would bring, there would be joy and enough love to help me through the hard times we all had to face. ‌“Happy New Year!” I said to myself. 12.

Friendship lies in getting together. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 As a freshman in high school, scheduling (安排) your day can help you manage your time and be productive.

She was known far and wide for her gentle behaviour and selfless kindness. Despite having very little. Mei-Ling was always ready to share what she had with others, whether it was a warm meal or a comforting smile. One cool Autumn day, as Mei-Ling was working in her garden, she noticed a young traveller Wei sitting by the roadside looking very tired. Without hesitation (犹豫), Mei-Ling invited Wei into her house and offered him food and water. Grateful beyond words, Wei shared stories of his travels and the difficulties he had faced along the way. As days turned into weeks. Wei helped Mei-Ling around the house. In return, Mei-Ling shared her wisdom with Wei, teaching him about the importance of compassion (同情) and gratitude (感恩). They became good friends with each passing day. And Wei found himself deeply influenced by Mei-Ling’s simple yet meaningful way of life. One evening, under the glow of the harvest moon, Wei asked Mei-Ling a question that had been weighing on his mind. “Mci-Ling,” he began hesitantly, “what makes someone truly beautiful?” Mei-Ling smiled knowingly and looked at the garden they had taken care of together. “True beauty,” Mei-Ling replied softly, “is not found in outward appearances or material wealth. It is in the kindness we show to others, the love we share with those around us, and the peace we bring to our hearts.” Wei nodded thoughtfully. Wei eventually said goodbye to Mei-Ling, setting off on a new journey with a heart full of gratitude and a soul enriched by Mei-Ling’s teachings. Meanwhile, Mei-Ling continued to take care of her garden and welcome tired travellers into her home. The villagers admired Mei-Ling not only for her generosity but also for her wisdom. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 One winter day, a big storm attacked the village, leaving many homes damaged (破坏). ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ As Mei-Ling grew older, her health got worse, yet her spirit remained as ever. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
