When Ma Jun was born, his parents noticed something unusual. His limbs were weak, and he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration. For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain.
In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate.
The turning point came when a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller I and the Temple of Earth. Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he read, Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma deeply. He was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. Later, he started on a three-year journey of writing the book The Green and White Stone Steps by recording his own life, pouring his heart and soul into the words.
In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news that his book was one of 10 selected for publication through the project “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers”. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his literary journey. Then, the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature announced this year’s awards, and Ma became the youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category.
Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope.
24. Why did Ma give up attending university?
A. His parents didn’t want to support his education.
B. His brother showed a stronger desire to study.
C. His family was facing financial difficulties.
D His physical condition prevented him from continuing his education.
25. What do we know about Ma’s book The Green and White Stone Steps?
A. It was inspired by his friend. B. It was finished in 7 years.
C. It was based on Shi’s personal story. D. It got recognition in the literary world.
26. Which of the following can best describe Ma Jun?
A. Talented and optimistic. B. Selfless and honest.
C. Farsighted and patient. D. Brave and confident.
27. What message does the text convey?
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Chance favors the prepared mind.
C. Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. D. He who laughs last laughs longest.
C
Gossip is a funny thing. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Casual gossip gets everyone talking and makes the world feel smaller, while negative gossip can leave people feeling hurt. Though we can’t always avoid it, we can choose to join in positive gossip, by deliberately (故意地) spreading positivity behind people’s backs.
Let me invite your imagination to a course in the Case Western Reserve University when we needed to do an exercise in pairs. My partner Jeff, listened closely to me with humble curiosity. As for me, instead of appreciating his story, I judged it against mine. When someone asked how it went, I commented that Jeff’s story was uninspiring — classic negative gossip, masked with politeness. The next day, when Jeff heard that I wanted to sell my work in America, he went above and beyond. He invited me to a CEO dinner, drove me through a rainstorm, and introduced me to every key player, showing pure generosity. Reflecting on this, I felt a wave of guilt. Here I was, badmouthing his story, while Jeff had been nothing but kind.
The lesson wasn’t about Jeff’s story needing revision; it was about my mindset. I decided never to join in negative gossip again and reverse (颠倒) it. You will never know that positivity works wonders until you try it. Researchers reveal that positive gossip boosts trust, deepens relationships, and creates an environment where information flows freely. It’s like the “Easter egg”, which is hidden but delightful when we hear about it.
If you want to create a culture of respect, it starts with the words you choose. Spread positivity and recognize others’ strengths. What you say behind someone’s back doesn’t just affect them — it shapes how others will remember you.
28. Which of the following examples best shows positive gossip?
A. Praising a classmate’s contribution to the group in front of him.
B. Sharing with others how a teammate has been helpful in a difficult project.
C. Telling a colleague that another coworker’s presentation was not impressive.
D. Discussing a friend’s failure in a project and expressing disappointment privately.
29. How did the author react to Jeff’s story?
A. He made unsupportive comments. B. He showed no interest and ignored it.
C. He interrupted Jeff and told my own story. D. He listened carefully and gave positive feedback.
30. What effect does positive gossip have on interpersonal relationships?
A. It makes people value own strengths and win others’ respect.
B. It leads to misunderstandings and conflicts among team members.
C. It strengthens relationships and leaves a good impression on others.
D. It creates an atmosphere where everyone tries to compete with each other.
31. The author’s tone in the text can be described as ______.
A. casual and indifferent B. humorous and objective
C. negative and doubtful D. encouraging and thoughtful
D
Can an AI ChatBot enhance personal creativity? Supporters of artificial intelligence see it as an inspiration,but critics doubt it, saying it does little more than remix existing work.
To gather data on this question, Oliver Hauser, an economist at the University of Exeter, and Anil Doshi at University College London’s School of Management invited 300 non-professional writers to write an eight-sentence story. One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others received starter ideas from ChatGPT 4.0. The assisted group was divided into two: one received a single AI-generated idea,and the other could choose from up to five. Most importantly, both the human-only and AI-assisted groups had to write the stories themselves.
Assessed by 600 evaluators (评价者), each story were graded on “novelty” and “usefulness”. Novelty reflected originality, while usefulness showed if the story was of publishable quality. According to the results, AI-assisted stories scored higher in both categories. Writers with access to one AI idea performed better, but those with five ideas saw the most improvement — about 8% more novel and 9% more useful than independent stories. But there’s a plot twist: When Hauser and Doshi looked at all the stories, they found a different effect. “Generally speaking, there was a smaller diversity of novelty in the group that had AI,” Hauser says.
In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the AI-assisted group. Hauser describes this a “classic social dilemma” where individuals benefit, but the group suffers. “We do worry that, at large scale, if many people are using this... overall the diversity and creativity in the population will go down,” he says.
Annalee Newitz, a science fiction author and journalist, pointed out that he wouldn’t blame anyone who tried using AI to write a story. However, he thinks these tools miss the point of writing. Creative writing is “humans communicating with other humans,” Newitz says. “Even if something is badly written — even if not very creative — if it’s written by a human, then it’s fulfilling its purpose”.
32. What can we learn about Hauser and Doshi’s study?
A. Each participant’s story was graded by professionals.
B. Not all the participants needed to generate ideas independently.
C. Each participant’s story was evaluated on three different aspects.
D. Human-only stories were as novel and useful as AI-assisted stories.
33. Which best explains the underlined phrase “a plot twist” in paragraph 3?
A. An unexpected finding. B. A slight change.
C. An impressive opinion. D. A believable fact.
34. Which of the following would Annalee Newitz probably agree with?
A. AI should be avoided in creating stories.
B. Creative writing loses its value when assisted by AI.
C. AI is important for improving the quality of creative works.
D The point of creative writing lies in human-to-human communication.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Nature of Creative Writing B. The Future of Human Creativity
C. AI Boosts Creativity, but at a Cost D. Human Battles Against AI in Writing

Brad Montague had always believed that small acts of kindness could make a difference, but he had never imagined that those acts could ripple (扩散) into something much bigger.
It was a cold October morning, Brad visited a local homeless shelter to drop off some donations. It was a normal trip, something he had done many times before. But this time, he learned a shocking and heartbreaking truth — the shelter was running out of socks. Unlike coats or blankets, socks wore out quickly, and most people never thought to donate them. “Socks are often considered unimportant,” the director had explained. “But without them, people on the streets can easily catch a cold.”
Autumn had arrived in Henderson, Tennessee, bringing dry air and cooler nights. Later that evening, as Brad sat on the edge of his daughter Matilda’s bed, gazing lovingly at his daughter sleeping with a stuffed rabbit in her arms, he couldn’t shake off what the shelter director had said. Socks — something so simple, something most people took for granted — were a lifeline for those suffering from cold nights on the streets. Looking at Matilda’s tiny feet kicking out from under the blanket, Brad was determined to make a difference.
As a writer and artist, Brad was used to solving problems with creativity. The next morning, he mentioned the issue to his volunteer friends in the community. After he shared what had happened, one friend raised his hand, “We could collect socks!” Another added, “Let’s make it fun. It could be like a celebration or something.” Brad’s eyes lit up. “A celebration in October...” He smiled. “What about naming the activity as Socktober?” The room erupted with excitement. “Socktober!” They repeated, letting the word roll off their tongues. It was perfect. The passion had been lit, and none of them realized how big this little idea was about to become.
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。
With the brilliant idea in mind, they knew what they should do next.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As Socktober continued, other people in the community also joined in.

M: And the final thing — what does the place you’ll live in have? Does it have air conditioning? Does it have different bathrooms? Taking these details into account will help you have a great vacation.

When Ma Jun was born, his parents noticed something unusual. His limbs were weak, and he couldn’t move or stand without help. While his peers ran and played, Ma could only sit in a wheelchair, watching in frustration. For years, his parents carried Ma on their backs to school, braving wind and rain.
In 2016, Ma passed his college entrance exams, but he faced a dilemma. With limited resources, his family couldn’t manage both sons’ education. Then Ma made a decision to stay home, sacrificing (牺牲) his own learning opportunity for his brother. This decision, though rooted in love, threw Ma into hopelessness. Longing to attend university and prove himself despite his condition, Ma instead found himself stuck in bed, feeling desperate.
The turning point came when a friend gave him a book, Shi Tiesheng’s best-seller I and the Temple of Earth. Shi, a famous writer who also uses a wheelchair, had transformed his struggles into profound literature. As he read, Ma felt a spark of hope lighting up his world. Shi’s vivid observations and unshaken hope inspired Ma deeply. He was struck by the realization that someone with similar struggles could find meaning and joy in life. Later, he started on a three-year journey of writing the book The Green and White Stone Steps by recording his own life, pouring his heart and soul into the words.
In June 2023, Ma received unexpected good news that his book was one of 10 selected for publication through the project “Stars of Literature by Chinese Ethnic Writers”. This achievement marked a significant milestone in his literary journey. Then, the Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature announced this year’s awards, and Ma became the youngest winner of this year’s Junma Awards for Ethnic Literature in the prose category.
Having fought against the illness for many years, Ma never defines himself as a man to be pitied. “I don’t think my experiences are tragic. Everyone in this world suffers from something. For me, it’s physical; for some others, it’s emotional. We’re all fighting our own battles,” he says. Writing is not just a profession for Ma — it’s a lifeline, a way to connect with the world and leave behind a legacy of courage, sincerity and hope.
24. Why did Ma give up attending university?
A. His parents didn’t want to support his education.
B. His brother showed a stronger desire to study.
C. His family was facing financial difficulties.
D. His physical condition prevented him from continuing his education.
25. What do we know about Ma’s book The Green and White Stone Steps?
A. It was inspired by his friend. B. It was finished in 7 years.
C. It was based on Shi’s personal story. D. It got recognition in the literary world.
26. Which of the following can best describe Ma Jun?
A. Talented and optimistic. B. Selfless and honest.
C. Farsighted and patient. D. Brave and confident.
27. What message does the text convey?
A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Chance favors the prepared mind.
C. Misfortune doesn’t define who you are. D. He who laughs last laughs longest.

Gossip is a funny thing. It can be your best friend or your worst enemy. Casual gossip gets everyone talking and makes the world feel smaller, while negative gossip can leave people feeling hurt. Though we can’t always avoid it, we can choose to join in positive gossip, by deliberately (故意地) spreading positivity behind people’s backs.
Let me invite your imagination to a course in the Case Western Reserve University when we needed to do an exercise in pairs. My partner, Jeff, listened closely to me with humble curiosity. As for me, instead of appreciating his story, I judged it against mine. When someone asked how it went, I commented that Jeff’s story was uninspiring — classic negative gossip, masked with politeness. The next day, when Jeff heard that I wanted to sell my work in America, he went above and beyond. He invited me to a CEO dinner, drove me through a rainstorm, and introduced me to every key player, showing pure generosity. Reflecting on this, I felt a wave of guilt. Here I was, badmouthing his story, while Jeff had been nothing but kind.
The lesson wasn’t about Jeff’s story needing revision; it was about my mindset. I decided never to join in negative gossip again and reverse (颠倒) it. You will never know that positivity works wonders until you try it. Researchers reveal that positive gossip boosts trust, deepens relationships, and creates an environment where information flows freely. It’s like the “Easter egg”, which is hidden but delightful when we hear about it.
If you want to create a culture of respect, it starts with the words you choose. Spread positivity and recognize others’ strengths. What you say behind someone’s back doesn’t just affect them — it shapes how others will remember you.
28. Which of the following examples best shows positive gossip?
A. Praising a classmate’s contribution to the group in front of him.
B. Sharing with others how a teammate has been helpful in a difficult project.
C. Telling a colleague that another coworker’s presentation was not impressive.
D. Discussing a friend’s failure in a project and expressing disappointment privately.
29. How did the author react to Jeff’s story?
A. He made unsupportive comments. B. He showed no interest and ignored it.
C. He interrupted Jeff and told my own story. D. He listened carefully and gave positive feedback.
30. What effect does positive gossip have on interpersonal relationships?
A. It makes people value own strengths and win others’ respect.
B. It leads to misunderstandings and conflicts among team members.
C. It strengthens relationships and leaves a good impression on others.
D. It creates an atmosphere where everyone tries to compete with each other.
31. The author’s tone in the text can be described as ______.
A. casual and indifferent B. humorous and objective
C. negative and doubtful D. encouraging and thoughtful
【答案】28. B 29. A 30. C 31. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章中作者通过自身经历说明了正面八卦能加强人际关系,给别人留下好印象。
【28题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段“Though we can’t always avoid it, we can choose to join in positive gossip, by deliberately (故意地) spreading positivity behind people’s backs.(虽然我们不能总是避免它,但我们可以选择加入积极的八卦,故意在别人背后传播积极的东西)”可知,与他人分享一个队友如何在一个困难的项目中提供帮助最好地展示了积极的八卦。故选B。
【29题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“When someone asked how it went, I commented that Jeff’s story was uninspiring — classic negative gossip, masked with politeness.(当有人问我事情进展如何时,我说杰夫的故事没什么鼓舞人心的——典型的负面八卦,披着礼貌的面具)”可知,作者对杰夫的故事发表了不支持的评论。故选A。
【30题详解】
细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Researchers reveal that positive gossip boosts trust, deepens relationships, and creates an environment where information flows freely.(研究人员发现,积极的八卦可以增进信任,加深关系,并创造一个信息自由流动的环境)”可知,正面八卦能加强人际关系,给别人留下好印象。故选C。
【31题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段“If you want to create a culture of respect, it starts with the words you choose. Spread positivity and recognize others’ strengths. What you say behind someone’s back doesn’t just affect them — it shapes how others will remember you.(如果你想创造一种尊重的文化,就从你选择的词语开始。传播积极的态度,认可他人的优点。你在别人背后说的话不仅会影响他们,还会影响别人对你的印象)”以及作者在文中讲述了自己的经历,从一开始进行负面八卦到后来认识到错误并决定不再这样做,还介绍了积极八卦的好处,鼓励读者传播积极的东西。可知,作者在文章中的语气可以用鼓励和深思熟来形容。故选D。

Can an AI ChatBot enhance personal creativity? Supporters of artificial intelligence see it as an inspiration,but critics doubt it, saying it does little more than remix existing work.
To gather data on this question, Oliver Hauser, an economist at the University of Exeter, and Anil Doshi at University College London’s School of Management invited 300 non-professional writers to write an eight-sentence story. One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others received starter ideas from ChatGPT 4.0. The assisted group was divided into two: one received a single AI-generated idea,and the other could choose from up to five. Most importantly, both the human-only and AI-assisted groups had to write the stories themselves.
Assessed by 600 evaluators (评价者), each story were graded on “novelty” and “usefulness”. Novelty reflected originality, while usefulness showed if the story was of publishable quality. According to the results, AI-assisted stories scored higher in both categories. Writers with access to one AI idea performed better, but those with five ideas saw the most improvement — about 8% more novel and 9% more useful than independent stories. But there’s a plot twist: When Hauser and Doshi looked at all the stories, they found a different effect. “Generally speaking, there was a smaller diversity of novelty in the group that had AI,” Hauser says.
In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the AI-assisted group. Hauser describes this a “classic social dilemma” where individuals benefit, but the group suffers. “We do worry that, at large scale, if many people are using this... overall the diversity and creativity in the population will go down,” he says.
Annalee Newitz, a science fiction author and journalist, pointed out that he wouldn’t blame anyone who tried using AI to write a story. However, he thinks these tools miss the point of writing. Creative writing is “humans communicating with other humans,” Newitz says. “Even if something is badly written — even if not very creative — if it’s written by a human, then it’s fulfilling its purpose”.
32. What can we learn about Hauser and Doshi’s study?
A. Each participant’s story was graded by professionals.
B. Not all the participants needed to generate ideas independently.
C. Each participant’s story was evaluated on three different aspects.
D. Human-only stories were as novel and useful as AI-assisted stories.
33. Which best explains the underlined phrase “a plot twist” in paragraph 3?
A. An unexpected finding. B. A slight change.
C. An impressive opinion. D. A believable fact.
34. Which of the following would Annalee Newitz probably agree with?
A. AI should be avoided in creating stories.
B. Creative writing loses its value when assisted by AI.
C. AI is important for improving the quality of creative works.
D. The point of creative writing lies in human-to-human communication.
35. What can be a suitable title for the text?
A. The Nature of Creative Writing B. The Future of Human Creativity
C. AI Boosts Creativity, but at a Cost D. Human Battles Against AI in Writing
【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了研究称AI聊天机器人虽提升个人创造力但降低群体创造力。
【32题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“One-third of the participants needed to generate ideas independently, while others received starter ideas from ChatGPT4.0. (三分之一的参与者需要独立产生想法,而其他人则从ChatGPT4.0获得初始想法。)”可知,并非所有参与者都需要独立产生想法。故选B。
【33题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第三段中“According to the results, AI - assisted stories scored higher in both categories. (根据结果,AI辅助创作的故事在这两方面得分更高。)”以及“But there’s a plot twist: When Hauser and Doshi looked at all the stories, they found a different effect. “Generally speaking, there was a smaller diversity of novelty in the group that had AI,” Hauser says. (但有a plot twist:当Hauser和Doshi查看所有故事时,他们发现了一个不同的效果。Hauser说:“一般来说,使用AI的组在新颖性方面的多样性较小。”)”可知,前文说AI辅助创作故事得分高,后文说使用AI的组新颖性多样性小,这是一个意外的发现,a plot twist意思是“一个情节转折,一个意外的发现”,与An unexpected finding意思相符。故选A。
【34题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Creative writing is “humans communicating with other humans,” Newitz says. (Newitz说,创意写作是“人类与人类之间的交流”。)”可知,Annalee Newitz认为创意写作的重点在于人与人之间的交流。故选D。
【35题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是根据第四段中“In other words, while the chatbot enhanced creativity individually, it reduced the overall creativity of the AI-assisted group. (换句话说,虽然聊天机器人单独提升了创造力,但它降低了AI辅助组的整体创造力。)”可知,文章主要讲述了AI聊天机器人虽然能提升个人创造力,但会降低群体创造力,即有代价。C选项“AI Boosts Creativity, but at a Cost (AI提升创造力,但有代价)”符合题意,适合用作标题。故选C。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了番茄酱这一常见酱料的起源和发展历程。
【56题详解】
考查名词的数。句意:番茄酱,这种著名的番茄酱,是那些听起来明显具有美国特色的产品之一。分析句子结构,“one of those...” 表示“…… 之一”,其后接可数名词复数形式,“product”为可数名词,所以要用复数形式“products”。故填products。
【57题详解】
考查动词时态。句意:中国人从大约公元前 300 年起就开始用发酵的肉和鱼制作酱料,历史学家认为番茄酱的最初版本是一种由腌制并发酵的鱼制成的酱料。根据 “since around 300 BCE”(自大约公元前 300 年以来),可知此处应用现在完成时或现在完成进行时。现在完成时表示过去发生的动作对现在造成的影响或结果,现在完成进行时表示从过去某一时间开始一直持续到现在的动作,并且还可能持续下去。主语“Chinese people”是复数,所以用“have made”(现在完成时)或 “have been making”(现在完成进行时)。故填have made /have been making。
【58题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:中国人从大约公元前 300 年起就开始用发酵的肉和鱼制作酱料,历史学家认为番茄酱的最初版本是一种由腌制并发酵的鱼制成的酱料。设空处需要用形容词修饰 “fishes”,“salt”(盐)的过去分词 “salted”(腌制的)可作形容词,“salted and fermented fishes” 表示 “腌制并发酵的鱼”。故填salted。
【59题详解】
考查形容词。句意:到大约公元前 50 年,随着发酵豆酱越来越受欢迎,这种酱料在中国逐渐失宠。修饰名词popularity用形容词“rising”。故填rising。
【60题详解】
考查强调句。句意:直到 17 和 18 世纪,由于在中国和东南亚之间往来的商人,鱼酱才重新流行起来。分析句子结构,“It was not until... that...” 是强调句的固定句型,强调的是时间状语 “not until the 17th and 18th centuries”,强调句的基本结构为 “It is/was + 被强调部分 + that/who + 其他部分”,当被强调部分是物时用 “that”,所以此处用 “that”。故填that。
【61题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:直到 17 和 18 世纪,由于在中国和东南亚之间往来的商人,鱼酱才重新流行起来,在那里它被称为 kecap 或 ketjap。“ ____ it was known as kecap or ketjap” 是一个非限制性定语从句,先行词是“China and Southeast Asia”,在从句中作地点状语,所以用关系副词 “where”引导该从句。故填where。
【62题详解】
考查连词。句意:这种酱料在东南亚的英国商人的帮助下传到了英国,被认为很神奇,最终成为了单调的英国烹饪(如烤肉和油炸食品)中固定的一部分。“the sauce was considered amazing” 和 “finally became a fixed part of the boring British cuisine”是两个并列的动作,所以用并列连词 “and” 连接。故填and。
【63题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:19 世纪初,美国发生了一个重要变化,亨利・约翰・海因茨开始装瓶番茄酱(ketchup),这样拼写是为了将它与其他番茄酱品牌区分开来。结合句意,“那样拼写”的目的是“与其他番茄酱区分开”,因此动词不定式做目的状语。故填to tell。
【64题详解】
考查副词。句意:从那时起,番茄酱真正地呈现出一种独特的美国特色,并开始了它的职业生涯,不仅成为一种通用的酱料,而且成为一种大规模生产的品牌商品,可以永远放在货架上。设空处修饰动词短语 “took on”,应用副词形式,“true”(真实的)的副词形式是 “truly”(真正地)。故填 truly。
【65题详解】
考查冠词。句意:从那时起,番茄酱真正地呈现出一种独特的美国特色,并开始了它的职业生涯,不仅成为一种通用的酱料,而且成为一种大规模生产的品牌商品,可以永远放在货架上。“sauce” 是可数名词,此处表示“一种通用的酱料”,表泛指,且“universal”是以辅音音素开头的单词,所以用不定冠词“a”。故填a。

To start with, we can create eye-catching posters and digital content to highlight the dangers that wildlife are facing, such as habitat loss, pollution and illegal hunting.

67. 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。
Brad Montague had always believed that small acts of kindness could make a difference, but he had never imagined that those acts could ripple (扩散) into something much bigger.
It was a cold October morning, Brad visited a local homeless shelter to drop off some donations. It was a normal trip, something he had done many times before. But this time, he learned a shocking and heartbreaking truth — the shelter was running out of socks. Unlike coats or blankets, socks wore out quickly, and most people never thought to donate them. “Socks are often considered unimportant,” the director had explained. “But without them, people on the streets can easily catch a cold.”
Autumn had arrived in Henderson, Tennessee, bringing dry air and cooler nights. Later that evening, as Brad sat on the edge of his daughter Matilda’s bed, gazing lovingly at his daughter sleeping with a stuffed rabbit in her arms, he couldn’t shake off what the shelter director had said. Socks — something so simple, something most people took for granted — were a lifeline for those suffering from cold nights on the streets. Looking at Matilda’s tiny feet kicking out from under the blanket, Brad was determined to make a difference.
As a writer and artist, Brad was used to solving problems with creativity. The next morning, he mentioned the issue to his volunteer friends in the community. After he shared what had happened, one friend raised his hand, “We could collect socks!” Another added, “Let’s make it fun. It could be like a celebration or something.” Brad’s eyes lit up. “A celebration in October...” He smiled. “What about naming the activity as Socktober?” The room erupted with excitement. “Socktober!” They repeated, letting the word roll off their tongues. It was perfect. The passion had been lit, and none of them realized how big this little idea was about to become.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150左右;

With the brilliant idea in mind, they knew what they should do next.

As Socktober continued, other people in the community also joined in.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
With the brilliant idea in mind, they knew what they should do next. While his friends were wasting no time spreading the word and creating colorful posters, Brad took charge of the design of the mascot, which was an adorable rabbit stuffed with socks. He also came up with a catchy slogan “Warm Feet, Warmer Hearts.” Besides, they started various “Sock Challenges” online and offline to collect clean and warm socks. Even Matilda called on her little friends to collect cans and bottles to get money. With joint efforts, donations poured in. The shelter director was overwhelmed with gratitude. Looking at the homeless wearing warm socks, Brad and his friends felt waves of pride and excitement surging through their bodies.
As Socktober continued, other people in the community also joined in. Students ran hot cocoa and cider stands and used their money to buy socks. Shop owners turned their storefronts into sock donation stations,decorated with Socktober banners. Local musicians even co-composed a song titled “Happy Socktober”. The entire community was literally transformed into a celebration of generosity, as well as socks. The small act of kindness even created bigger ripples that reached far beyond Henderson. News of Socktober inspired communities in other towns to launch their own drives, which later became an annual event across the country. Looking back on all of this, Brad learned that small acts of kindness would echo themselves and can bring about big changes.

From there, you'll be able to download one program that we're going to use during this workshop. The program is called video excitement, which can be used to make long films. However, the videos we're going to work on today will be less than five minutes before six thirty pm. Each of you will leave this room with at least one video that is made on your own. I will also have a look at all the works and choose the best one. Now please turn on your computers. We're starting. 第二节到此结束,现在你将有两分钟时间把答案转写到答题框内,听力部分到此结束。
