So that makes sense that if you chop down too many of these and don't replace them and you're going to run into all sorts of problems, the Philippines knows all about that. It's last more than two thirds of its forest area in less than one hundred years. In two thousand and three, a slide of a large, massive dirt and rock down a mountain or Cliff, or we call a landslide, killed around two hundred people. Recently, another landslide buried an entire village in mud. It's believed more than one thousand people died. The cause of the landslide is still being debated. Most say IT was the heavy rainfall. I mean, we're talking about two thousand millimetres of rain in ten days. That's quite a downport. Some say a minor earthquake played apart, while others blamed the removal of trees. Of course, IT could be a combination of all those things. While the Philippines banned chopping down trees for several years, IT started again in two thousand and five, partly because the Philippines population is growing at a rapid rate, so the land is needed for housing and farming. So how do you support the increasing population without ruining the environment, grow more plantations, forests which are for commercial use, and don't destroy our native forests?

Having read my fill about oceans of water, I turned to goggle for information about oceans made of other stuff, like liquid hydrocarbons. I hoped to find reliable (可靠的) results, perhaps from NASA. Instead, Google’s AI feature suggested Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, known for its saltwater ocean. This made me mad because it was not the information I was looking for. This is a small example of how AI can fail. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor highlight many more concerning examples in their new book AI Snake Oil. They write about AI tools that say they can predict (预测) things like academic success, disease risk, or even wars. Along the way, the authors also explore many other issue with AI, covering misinformation, privacy, and copyright. They address whether we should be afraid of AI, concluding. “We should be far more concerned about what people will do with AI than with what AI will do on its own.” The authors point out that the technology is advancing quickly. Some of the details may be out of date — or at least old news — by the time the book makes it into your hands. For example, predictive AI, which aims to foresee future events, often fails because human behavior is too complex to predict. The authors believe that many AI systems are “snake oil” meaning they do not work as promised. When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them, Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: Society has given too much freedom to the teach industry, “We are not okay with leaving the future of AI up to the people currently in charge.” they write. This book is a wake-up call for anyone who uses AI or makes decisions about it, encouraging us to think critically (批判地) and use AI responsible. 24. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1? A. To show the disadvantage of AI B. To prove the reliability of AI C. To explore the power of Google. D. To share a scientific discovery. 25. What do Narayanan and Kapoor find more concerning? A. What AI will do by itself. B. How people choose to use AI C. What is spreading online D. How AI systems are stopped. 26. What do Narayanan and Kapoor suggest about AI development? A. Leaving it growing fast. B. Giving it enough freedom C. Putting it under control D. Preventing it immediately. 27. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A research paper. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇书评。文章主要介绍了Arvind Narayanan和Sayash Kapoor合著的新书AI Snake Oil，书中探讨了AI工具存在的诸多问题，指出社会已给予科技行业过多自由，并呼吁人们应当理性使用AI。 【24题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“A few months ago, I was working on an article about oceans across the solar system. Having read my fill about oceans of water, I turned to goggle for information about oceans made of other stuff, like liquid hydrocarbons. I hoped to find reliable results, perhaps from NASA. Instead, Google’s AI feature suggested Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, known for its saltwater ocean. This made me mad because it was not the information I was looking for.(几个月前，我正在写一篇关于太阳系海洋的文章。在阅读了大量关于水海洋的资料后，我转向谷歌搜索由其他物质构成的海洋的信息，比如液态碳氢化合物。我希望找到可靠的结果，也许来自NASA。然而，谷歌的AI功能建议了土星的卫星Enceladus，它以其咸水海洋而闻名。这让我很生气，因为这不是我在寻找的信息)”及第二段“This is a small example of how AI can fail.(这是一个AI可能会失败的小例子)”可知，作者在第一段提及这个事例是为了展示AI的不便之处。故选A。 【25题详解】 细节理解题。根据文章第二段“They address whether we should be afraid of AI, concluding. “We should be far more concerned about what people will do with AI than with what AI will do on its own.”(他们讨论了我们是否应该害怕AI，得出结论：“我们应该更加关注人们会用AI做什么，而不是AI自己能做些什么。”)”可知，Narayanan和Kapoor更担心的是人们选择如何使用AI。故选B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第四段“When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them, Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: Society has given too much freedom to the teach industry, “We are not okay with leaving the future of AI up to the people currently in charge.” they write.(至于为什么存在这些问题以及如何改变它们，Narayanan和Kapoor提出了明确的观点：社会给了科技行业太多自由，“我们不赞同将AI的未来交给现在负责的人。”他们写道)”可知，作者们认为社会给予了科技行业过多自由，需要对AI的发展进行控制。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文可知，文章围绕Arvind Narayanan和Sayash Kapoor的新书AI Snake Oil展开讨论，分析了书中关于AI的问题和挑战，因此是一篇书评。故选C。 C If you’ve ever played on a sports team or been to gym class, you probably know the practice. First, you do some warm-ups. Then you stretch (拉伸). Exercises and activities follow. At the end of the exercise, you do more stretches. For years, coaches and gym teachers have believed that stretching helps athletes perform better, and suffer fewer injuries. From the health club to the football field, everywhere you look, people stretch. Now research suggests that stretching may not do your body as much good as people thought. After reviewing more than 350 scientific studies, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that stretching may not cut the chance of injury. “There is not enough evidence (证据) to show that stretching is effective,” says Stephen Thacker, director of the CDC’s epidemiology program in Atlanta, Ga. “Certain athletes stretch all the time, but they’re the ones who are more likely to get hurt.” Thacker points to professional baseball players as an example. They all do stretches before a game. Yet baseball players have one of the highest rates of injury in any sport. To understand why stretching may be a bad idea, it helps to know how muscles (肌肉) work. It all starts with orders from the brain. Special cells called neurons carry electrical messages from the brain through the nervous system to the muscles you want to activate. As soon as the messages get to their targets, the muscles react. When you stretch, you lengthen muscle fibers. It then takes longer for messages from the brain to travel through them. Stretching before you exercise is particularly risky, experts say. Instead of stretching before an activity, they recommend warming up by starting slowly to get blood and oxygen flowing to your muscles. 28. What is the common belief about stretching among coaches and gym teachers? A. It improves performance. B. It should be avoided in matches. C. It is only useful for athletes. D. It may increase the risk of injuries. 29. What does Thacker want to explain by mentioning professional baseball players? A. The downside of stretching. B. The purpose of the CDC’s study. C. The value of the group game. D. The necessity of doing warm-ups. 30. What do experts recommend for warming up before exercise? A. Focusing on your thoughts. B. Stretching as much as possible. C. Following the coach’s order. D. Starting with slow movements. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Can We Pick an Activity? B. Is Warming up Necessary for Us? C. Why Do Athletes Do Stretches? D. Does Stretching Help Workouts? 【答案】28. A 29. A 30. D 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了拉伸在运动中的作用及其对运动员表现和受伤风险的影响。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“For years, coaches and gym teachers have believed that stretching helps athletes perform better, and suffer fewer injuries.(多年来，教练和体育老师一直认为拉伸有助于运动员表现得更好，并减少受伤)”可知，教练和体育老师普遍认为拉伸有助于提高表现。故选A。 【29题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Thacker points to professional baseball players as an example. They all do stretches before a game. Yet baseball players have one of the highest rates of injury in any sport.(Thacker以职业棒球运动员为例。他们在比赛前都会做拉伸。然而，棒球运动员的受伤率在所有运动中是最高的之一)”可知，Thacker通过职业棒球运动员的例子来说明拉伸的负面影响。故选A。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据最后一段“Instead of stretching before an activity, they recommend warming up by starting slowly to get blood and oxygen flowing to your muscles.(他们建议在活动前不要拉伸，而是通过缓慢开始热身来让血液和氧气流向肌肉)”可知，专家建议通过缓慢活动开始热身来让血液和氧气流向肌肉。故选D。 【31题详解】 主旨大意题。根据全文内容以及第三段“Now research suggests that stretching may not do your body as much good as people thought. After reviewing more than 350 scientific studies, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that stretching may not cut the chance of injury. (现在研究表明，伸展运动对身体的好处可能没有人们想象的那么多。美国疾病控制与预防中心（CDC）的研究人员在回顾了350多项科学研究后发现，拉伸运动可能不会减少受伤的机会)”可知，文章主要讨论了拉伸是否有助于运动表现和减少受伤风险。所以短文的标题为“拉伸运动有助于锻炼吗？”。故选D。 D In general, sharks are known for eating almost anything. But in French Polynesia, blacktip reef sharks that eat food from tourists are not as healthy, researchers report in Animal Conservation. Around the world tourists who want to see sharks in their natural habitat may lure them with food. A particularly popular location for shark feeding is Mo’orea, a small island near Tahiti, where tourists gather in boats to see the sharks up close, throwing them food. At the Island Research Center and Environmental Observatory in Mo’orea, Johann Mourier, a marine behavioral ecologist, was studying the behavior of sharks around the island. Since the blacktip reef sharks around Mo’orea tend to be homebodies — sometimes spending ten years or more on one reef — Mourier and his team wondered how sharks living at sites visited by generous tourists might be influenced by all the attention. From May 2008 through May 2011, the team caught and tested 117 sharks at different locations around the island. Five locations were feeding sites, while 12 were non-feeding. The researchers drew blood from the sharks and analyzed (分析) various biochemicals. Mourier’s study found that the volume (体积) of red blood cells and glucose (葡萄糖) — an overall measure of health condition — was lower for sharks at the feeding sites. “These sharks have a decrease in the glucose and red blood cells in the blood, which means that the food quality was worse at feeding sites,” says Mourier. “The leftovers offered by humans are like junk food, and don’t appear to have good quality as the sharks’ normal diet.” “This study represents a significant advancement in our understanding of shark health,” says Mourier. “These results are particularly important given that shark feeding practices are often poorly controlled, leading to numerous challenges.” The researchers suggest that making rules on the types of foods given to sharks in places with widespread feeding activities may be necessary to protect the health of the sharks. 32 What does the underlined word “lure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Save. B. Alarm. C. Attract. D. Escape. 33. What did the study mainly explore? A. What types of food sharks generally prefer. B. How tourist feeding affects sharks’ health. C. Why tourists rush to Mo’orea to feed sharks. D. How long a shark tends to stay in one place. 34. What can we know about the food sharks receive from tourists? A. It is harmful to sharks. B. It gives sharks more energy. C. It is sharks’ normal diet. D. It makes sharks picky eaters. 35. What can be inferred about shark feeding practices from the last paragraph? A. They must be totally stopped. B. They help sharks avoid hunger. C. They need better management. D. They are particularly important. 【答案】32. C 33. B 34. A 35. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了在法属波利尼西亚，黑鳍礁鲨因食用游客提供的食物而导致健康状况不佳的研究发现。 【32题详解】 词句猜测题。根据划线单词上下文“Around the world, tourists who want to see sharks in their natural habitat may lure them with food. A particularly popular location for shark feeding is Mo’orea, a small island near Tahiti, where tourists gather in boats to see the sharks up close, throwing them food. (在世界各地，想要在自然栖息地观赏鲨鱼的游客可能会用食物来……它们。一个特别受欢迎的喂鲨地点是大溪地附近的一个小岛——莫雷阿岛。在那里，游客们乘船聚集在一起，近距离观赏鲨鱼，并向它们投喂食物。)”可知，游客们在莫雷阿岛乘船聚集，给鲨鱼投喂食物，近距离观看鲨鱼，由此可推测，游客是用食物来吸引鲨鱼，这样才能近距离看到它们。“lure”在这里的意思是“吸引”。选项C“attract”，意为“吸引”，与此相符。故选C。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第一段“But in French Polynesia, blacktip reef sharks that eat food from tourists are not as healthy, researchers report in Animal Conservation.(但在法属波利尼西亚，食用游客投喂食物的黑鳍礁鲨身体状况却并不健康。)”，第三段“Since the blacktip reef sharks around Mo’orea tend to be homebodies — sometimes spending ten years or more on one reef — Mourier and his team wondered how sharks living at sites visited by generous tourists might be influenced by all the attention.(由于莫雷阿岛周围的黑鳍礁鲨往往喜欢待在一个地方——有时会在同一处礁石区域生活十年甚至更久——Mourier和他的团队想知道，生活在那些受到慷慨游客光顾的地方的鲨鱼，会受到这些关注怎样的影响。)”再结合第四段中研究团队的做法（在不同地点捕获并检测鲨鱼，分析其血液中的各种生化物质）和第五段中提到的研究发现（投喂点的鲨鱼红细胞数量和葡萄糖含量较低）可知，该研究主要探索的是游客投喂食物如何影响鲨鱼的健康。故选B。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章第五段““These sharks have a decrease in the glucose and red blood cells in the blood, which means that the food quality was worse at feeding sites,” says Mourier. “The leftovers offered by humans are like junk food, and don’t appear to have good quality as the sharks’ normal diet.”(“这些鲨鱼血液中的葡萄糖和红细胞数量有所减少，这意味着在投喂点的食物质量更差，”Mourier说，“人类提供的残羹剩饭就像垃圾食品，看起来并不像鲨鱼的正常饮食那样有优质的营养成分。”)”可知，从游客那里获取食物的鲨鱼血液中的葡萄糖和红细胞数量减少，这意味着投喂点的食物质量较差，人类提供的残羹剩饭就像垃圾食品，不如鲨鱼的正常饮食质量好。由此可推断出游客给鲨鱼的食物对鲨鱼是有害的。故选A。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段““This study represents a significant advancement in our understanding of shark health,” says Mourier. “These results are particularly important given that shark feeding practices are often poorly controlled, leading to numerous challenges.” The researchers suggest that making rules on the types of foods given to sharks in places with widespread feeding activities may be necessary to protect the health of the sharks.(“这项研究在我们对鲨鱼健康状况的理解方面取得了重大进展，”Mourier说，“鉴于鲨鱼投喂行为往往缺乏有效管理，引发了许多问题，这些研究结果就显得尤为重要。”研究人员建议，在鲨鱼投喂活动普遍的地方，有必要对投喂给鲨鱼的食物种类制定相关规则，以保护鲨鱼的健康。)”可知，鲨鱼投喂行为往往缺乏有效管理，引发了许多问题，研究人员建议在鲨鱼投喂活动普遍的地方对投喂给鲨鱼的食物种类制定相关规则，以保护鲨鱼的健康。由此可推断出鲨鱼投喂行为需要更好的管理。故选C。 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。 Your morning sets the tone (基调) for the entire day.

Maria’s hands started to shake. Sweat appeared on her forehead and her heart set about racing. She knew clearly that this was her moment to finish what her grandpa had started years ago. But as she was about to begin her performance, doubt came to her mind, “Can I really do this?” Maria grew up alongside her grandpa who was always lost in the world of piano music, and she fell in love with it from an early age. Her grandpa was happy to teach her to play the piano. Whenever Maria started to worry about making mistakes, her grandpa would tell her to just immerse (使沉浸) herself in the music. Her grandpa’s words could always calm her down. Three years ago, Maria’s grandpa passed away. His room was filled with lots of old sheet music. Maria’s fingers ran over the yellowed notes on the final page of her grandpa’s unfinished piano music, which he had been working on until the last day of his life. While Maria was looking at the incomplete work, a fire was lit within her. “I will finish it. I have to,” Maria told herself. Days turned into weeks as Maria lost herself in her grandpa’s world. She read his notes and listened to the recordings of his other works, trying to get his voice. The melody (旋律) was all she could think about. It played in her dreams and rang in her waking hours. There were times when Maria felt very sad and hopeless, especially when the notes wouldn’t come. She also doubted herself when she couldn’t finish it perfectly. But then there were moments of pure joy when the music flowed through her as if her grandpa was guiding her. 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。 Maria was brought back to the present by the cheers from the audience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maria gently placed her fingers on the keys. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 Maria was brought back to the present by the cheers from the audience. She walked onto the stage, but the worries over possible mistakes made it hard for her to breathe. To finish the music was the dream of her grandpa and the reward for her own sweat and tears. Thinking of that, she took a deep breath and remembered her grandpa’s words: “Music isn’t about perfection, Maria. It’s about passion, about putting your soul into every note.” With a peace of mind, she moved to the piano, ready to put on the performance. Maria gently placed her fingers on the keys.

B A few months ago, I was working on an article about oceans across the solar system. Having read my fill about oceans of water, I turned to goggle for information about oceans made of other stuff, like liquid hydrocarbons. I hoped to find reliable (可靠的) results, perhaps from NASA. Instead, Google’s AI feature suggested Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, known for its saltwater ocean. This made me mad because it was not the information I was looking for. This is a small example of how AI can fail. Arvind Narayanan and Sayash Kapoor highlight many more concerning examples in their new book AI Snake Oil. They write about AI tools that say they can predict (预测) things like academic success, disease risk, or even wars. Along the way, the authors also explore many other issue with AI, covering misinformation, privacy, and copyright. They address whether we should be afraid of AI, concluding. “We should be far more concerned about what people will do with AI than with what AI will do on its own.” The authors point out that the technology is advancing quickly. Some of the details may be out of date — or at least old news — by the time the book makes it into your hands. For example, predictive AI, which aims to foresee future events, often fails because human behavior is too complex to predict. The authors believe that many AI systems are “snake oil” meaning they do not work as promised. When it comes to why these problems exist and how to change them, Narayanan and Kapoor bring a clear point of view: Society has given too much freedom to the teach industry, “We are not okay with leaving the future of AI up to the people currently in charge.” they write. This book is a wake-up call for anyone who uses AI or makes decisions about it, encouraging us to think critically (批判地) and use AI responsible. 24. Why does the author mention the example in paragraph 1? A. To show the disadvantage of AI B. To prove the reliability of AI C. To explore the power of Google. D. To share a scientific discovery. 25. What do Narayanan and Kapoor find more concerning? A. What AI will do by itself. B. How people choose to use AI C. What is spreading online D. How AI systems are stopped. 26. What do Narayanan and Kapoor suggest about AI development? A. Leaving it growing fast. B. Giving it enough freedom C. Putting it under control D. Preventing it immediately. 27. What is the text? A. A diary entry. B. A news report. C. A book review. D. A research paper. C If you’ve ever played on a sports team or been to gym class, you probably know the practice. First, you do some warm-ups. Then you stretch (拉伸). Exercises and activities follow. At the end of the exercise, you do more stretches. For years, coaches and gym teachers have believed that stretching helps athletes perform better, and suffer fewer injuries. From the health club to the football field, everywhere you look, people stretch. Now research suggests that stretching may not do your body as much good as people thought. After reviewing more than 350 scientific studies, researchers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that stretching may not cut the chance of injury. “There is not enough evidence (证据) to show that stretching is effective,” says Stephen Thacker, director of the CDC’s epidemiology program in Atlanta, Ga. “Certain athletes stretch all the time, but they’re the ones who are more likely to get hurt.” Thacker points to professional baseball players as an example. They all do stretches before a game. Yet baseball players have one of the highest rates of injury in any sport. To understand why stretching may be a bad idea, it helps to know how muscles (肌肉) work. It all starts with orders from the brain. Special cells called neurons carry electrical messages from the brain through the nervous system to the muscles you want to activate. As soon as the messages get to their targets, the muscles react. When you stretch, you lengthen muscle fibers. It then takes longer for messages from the brain to travel through them. Stretching before you exercise is particularly risky, experts say. Instead of stretching before an activity, they recommend warming up by starting slowly to get blood and oxygen flowing to your muscles. 28. What is the common belief about stretching among coaches and gym teachers? A. It improves performance. B. It should be avoided in matches. C. It is only useful for athletes. D. It may increase the risk of injuries. 29. What does Thacker want to explain by mentioning professional baseball players? A. The downside of stretching. B. The purpose of the CDC’s study. C. The value of the group game. D. The necessity of doing warm-ups. 30. What do experts recommend for warming up before exercise? A. Focusing on your thoughts. B. Stretching as much as possible. C. Following the coach’s order. D. Starting with slow movements. 31. Which is the most suitable title for the text? A. How Can We Pick an Activity? B. Is Warming up Necessary for Us? C. Why Do Athletes Do Stretches? D. Does Stretching Help Workouts? D In general, sharks are known for eating almost anything. But in French Polynesia, blacktip reef sharks that eat food from tourists are not as healthy, researchers report in Animal Conservation. Around the world, tourists who want to see sharks in their natural habitat may lure them with food. A particularly popular location for shark feeding is Mo’orea, a small island near Tahiti, where tourists gather in boats to see the sharks up close, throwing them food. At the Island Research Center and Environmental Observatory in Mo’orea, Johann Mourier, a marine behavioral ecologist, was studying the behavior of sharks around the island. Since the blacktip reef sharks around Mo’orea tend to be homebodies — sometimes spending ten years or more on one reef — Mourier and his team wondered how sharks living at sites visited by generous tourists might be influenced by all the attention. From May 2008 through May 2011, the team caught and tested 117 sharks at different locations around the island. Five locations were feeding sites, while 12 were non-feeding. The researchers drew blood from the sharks and analyzed (分析) various biochemicals. Mourier’s study found that the volume (体积) of red blood cells and glucose (葡萄糖) — an overall measure of health condition — was lower for sharks at the feeding sites. “These sharks have a decrease in the glucose and red blood cells in the blood, which means that the food quality was worse at feeding sites,” says Mourier. “The leftovers offered by humans are like junk food, and don’t appear to have good quality as the sharks’ normal diet.” “This study represents a significant advancement in our understanding of shark health,” says Mourier. “These results are particularly important given that shark feeding practices are often poorly controlled, leading to numerous challenges.” The researchers suggest that making rules on the types of foods given to sharks in places with widespread feeding activities may be necessary to protect the health of the sharks. 32. What does the underlined word “lure” in paragraph 2 mean? A. Save. B. Alarm. C. Attract. D. Escape. 33. What did the study mainly explore? A. What types of food sharks generally prefer. B. How tourist feeding affects sharks’ health. C. Why tourists rush to Mo’orea to feed sharks. D. How long a shark tends to stay in one place. 34. What can we know about the food sharks receive from tourists? A. It is harmful to sharks. B. It gives sharks more energy. C. It is sharks’ normal diet. D. It makes sharks picky eaters. 35. What can be inferred about shark feeding practices from the last paragraph? A. They must be totally stopped. B. They help sharks avoid hunger. C. They need better management. D. They are particularly important. 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。 Your morning sets the tone (基调) for the entire day.

Maria’s hands started to shake. Sweat appeared on her forehead and her heart set about racing. She knew clearly that this was her moment to finish what her grandpa had started years ago. But as she was about to begin her performance, doubt came to her mind, “Can I really do this?” Maria grew up alongside her grandpa who was always lost in the world of piano music, and she fell in love with it from an early age. Her grandpa was happy to teach her to play the piano. Whenever Maria started to worry about making mistakes, her grandpa would tell her to just immerse (使沉浸) herself in the music. Her grandpa’s words could always calm her down. Three years ago, Maria’s grandpa passed away. His room was filled with lots of old sheet music. Maria’s fingers ran over the yellowed notes on the final page of her grandpa’s unfinished piano music, which he had been working on until the last day of his life. While Maria was looking at the incomplete work, a fire was lit within her. “I will finish it. I have to,” Maria told herself. Days turned into weeks as Maria lost herself in her grandpa’s world. She read his notes and listened to the recordings of his other works, trying to get his voice. The melody (旋律) was all she could think about. It played in her dreams and rang in her waking hours. There were times when Maria felt very sad and hopeless especially when the notes wouldn’t come. She also doubted herself when she couldn’t finish it perfectly. But then there were moments of pure joy when the music flowed through her as if her grandpa was guiding her. 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。 Maria was brought back to the present by the cheers from the audience. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Maria gently placed her fingers on the keys. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
