For a year, he recovered in hospitals before returning home, where he now relies on full-time care. Kureishi poured his anger and depression into writing. Just days after the accident, he began dictating (口述) his work Shattered to his partner and son. The book explorers his loss of independence and the shame of relying on others. Yet writing gave him purpose: “Even on painkillers, I wrote daily blogs. People cared about my story — it kept me going,” he says. Today, Kureishi uses a wheelchair and cannot stand or hold objects. Despite limited mobility, he works daily. “My job — talking and writing — saved me,” he explains. Many paralyzed patients cannot return to work, but Kureishi continues creating. “I earn money and support my family. I write more now than before,” he adds. His determination overcomes physical limits, proving creativity develops well in tough times. Each morning, he tackles physical therapy (治疗) with the same discipline he applies to writing, viewing both as acts of rebellion against his condition. Reflecting on his accident, he recalls hospital patients with similar stories: a man who jumped into an empty pool and another who tripped over a garden tool. “These unpredictable moments change everything. You are upset, asking ‘Why me?’, but anger gradually goes away when you rebuild purpose,” he says. Kureishi acknowledges the unfairness but focuses on what he can control — his work and relationships. He emphasizes gratitude for his support system, crediting loved ones for helping him handle daily challenges. Looking ahead, Kureishi remains ambitious. He’s writing another book, working together on a film with director Luca Guadagnino, and eagerly awaits Shattered’s US release. His days combine creativity and routine: mornings devoted to writing, afternoons to physical therapy, and evenings spent brainstorming new ideas. “Disability isn’t the end,” he insists. “It’s a new chapter — one where I write my own rules.” 24. What happened to Hanif Kureishi in 2022? A. He had a life-changing accident. B. He had a big argument with his son. C. He suddenly lost his ability to speak. D. He failed to complete his work on time. 25. What does the underlined word “rebellion” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Doubt. B. Struggle. C. Argument. D. Complaint. 26. Why does Kureishi mention other patients’ stories? A. To highlight the predictability of events. B. To explain the process of physical therapy. C. To show the importance of a positive mentality. D. To describe the challenges of writing while disabled. 27. What can we learn about Kureishi from the last paragraph? A. He is giving up on recovery. B. He is very angry about his disability. C. He thinks his disability is not affecting him. D. He is determined to live life on his terms. 【答案】24. A 25. B 26. C 27. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了小说家兼编剧Hanif Kureishi在瘫痪后，凭借写作找到生活目标，克服身体限制，继续创作并积极面对生活的故事。 【24题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段“In 2022, feeling unwell at home, celebrated novelist and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi fell, broke his neck and woke up paralyzed, unable to move his hands or body. For a year, he recovered in hospitals before returning home, where he now relies on full-time care. (2022年，著名小说家兼编剧Hanif Kureishi在家感觉不舒服，他摔倒了，摔断了脖子，醒来后瘫痪了，双手和身体都无法活动。在回家之前，他在医院康复了一年，现在他依靠全职护理。)”可知，他遭遇了一场改变人生的事故。故选 A。 【25题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段“he tackles physical therapy with the same discipline he applies to writing, viewing both as acts of rebellion against his condition (他以写作时的自律对待物理治疗，将两者都视为对自身状况的______)”可知，库雷希通过坚持治疗和写作对抗瘫痪带来的挣扎。所以划线词的意思是“挣扎”。故选 B。 【26题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段 ““These unpredictable moments change everything. You are upset, asking ‘Why me?’, but anger gradually goes away when you rebuild purpose,” he says. (“这些不可预测的时刻改变了一切。你心烦意乱地问：“为什么是我？”，但当你重新树立目标时，愤怒就会逐渐消失。)”可知，库雷希提及其他患者的故事，是为了说明面对意外时，重建目标、调整心态的重要性。故选C。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段 ““Disability isn’t the end,” he insists. “It’s a new chapter—one where I write my own rules. (“残疾不是终点，”他坚持说。“这是一个新的篇章——在这个篇章里，我写下了自己的规则。”)”可知，库雷希决心按自己的意愿生活。故选 D。 C Have you ever tried leaving your phone in another room to focus better? New research from the London School of Economics suggests this common strategy might not work as hoped. The study, published in Frontiers in Computer Science, found that while keeping phones out of reach reduces phone use, people simply shift their distractions to other devices. In the experiment,22 participants completed two five-hour computer work sessions (一段时间). During one session, phones stayed on their desks; in the other, phones were placed 1.5 meters away. When phones were distant, participants spent half as much time on them (15 minutes vs.29 minutes) and used them less frequently. But this didn’t boost productivity. Instead, they doubled their time on computer-based leisure — like browsing shopping sites or news articles — keeping the total break time nearly identical. “Our brains desire breaks and if one distraction isn’t available, we’ll find another,” explains lead researcher Dr. Katarzyna Stawarz. The study highlights that phones are just a preferred distraction tool, not the root cause. The study disproved two common beliefs. First, notifications (通知) played almost no role in phone use. Participants received very few notifications that could interrupt them (only about half a notification per session on average). However, these notifications didn’t influence their behavior. This goes against the idea that when notifications are managed, there is a decrease in how often the phone is used. Second, a “self-awareness gap” emerged: when phones were nearby, participants underestimated their usage by nearly 50%, but with phones farther away, their estimates matched reality. This suggests that while physical distance made them more mindful of their habits, it does not solve the core issue of unplanned breaks. Workplace phone bans often fail because they ignore the human need for breaks. “Instead of blaming devices, we need healthier work patterns,” says Stawarz. For students and workers, the message is clear: Distraction isn’t about your phone — it’s about balancing focus and rest. Building self-control and planning intentional breaks may work better than fighting technology. 28. Why did participants’ total break time remain unchanged despite reduced phone use? A. They shifted leisure activities to computers. B. They slept for a while during sessions. C. They engaged in face-to-face conversations. D. They took more walks around the work area. 29. What conclusion does the study challenge? A. Self-control alone can prevent breaks. B. Phones are a necessary tool for work. C. Controlling notifications reduces phone use. D. Workplace bans boost focus effectively. 30. What does the “self-awareness gap” mentioned in the study indicate? A. People feel more in control with phones nearby. B. Physical distance causes overestimation of phone use. C. Closeness to phones leads to inaccurate usage estimates. D. Less phone use boosts self-control over other distractions. 31. What does the text imply about effective productivity strategies? A. Strict device removal policies are essential. B. Increasing work hours guarantees better results. C. Technology is key to managing distractions. D. Satisfying human needs for breaks is crucial. 【答案】28. A 29. C 30. C 31. D 【解析】 【导语】本文为说明文，介绍伦敦经济学院一项关于“手机放置位置对工作效率影响”的研究。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Instead, they doubled their time on computer-based leisure — like browsing shopping sites or news articles — keeping the total break time nearly identical. (相反，他们花在电脑休闲活动上的时间翻倍 —— 如浏览购物网站或新闻文章 —— 使总休息时间几乎保持不变。）可知，参与者将原本用于手机的休息时间转移到了电脑上，导致总时长未减少。故选 A。 【29题详解】 推理判断。根据第四段“First, notifications (通知) played almost no role in phone use. Participants received very few notifications that could interrupt them (only about half a notification per session on average). However, these notifications didn’t influence their behavior. This goes against the idea that when notifications are managed, there is a decrease in how often the phone is used. (首先，通知在手机使用中几乎没有任何作用。参与者很少收到可能打断他们的通知（平均每次会话只有大约一半的通知）。然而，这些通知并没有影响他们的行为。这与“管理通知会减少手机使用频率”的观点相悖。)”可知，研究直接反驳了 “控制通知能减少手机使用” 这一常见认知。故选C。 【30题详解】 推理判断题。根据第四段“Second, a “self-awareness gap” emerged: when phones were nearby, participants underestimated their usage by nearly 50%, but with phones farther away, their estimates matched reality. (其次，出现了“自我意识差距”：当手机在附近时，参与者低估了近 50% 的手机使用时间；当手机较远时，估计与实际一致。)”可知，靠近手机会导致不准确的使用估计。故选C。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Workplace phone bans often fail because they ignore the human need for breaks. “Instead of blaming devices, we need healthier work patterns,” says Stawarz. For students and workers, the message is clear: Distraction isn’t about your phone — it’s about balancing focus and rest. (工作场所禁止使用手机往往会失败，因为它们忽视了人类休息的需要。“我们需要更健康的工作模式，而不是责怪电子设备，”斯塔瓦兹说。对于学生和上班族来说，这条信息很明确：分心与手机无关，而是要平衡注意力和休息。)”可推知，文章反对单纯限制设备，满足人类对休息的需求是制定有效生产力策略的关键。故选D。 D A groundbreaking study from the University of New South Wales predicts that global GDP could drop by 40% by 2100 if temperatures rise by 4℃—far higher than earlier estimates of 11%. The research, led by the Institute for Climate Risk & Response, highlights the problems in existing climate-economic models and urges immediate policy changes. Earlier models underestimated climate risks. Dr. Timothy Neal, lead researcher, explains, “Past studies assumed countries could manage climate impacts alone. But today’s economy relies on global networks. A disaster in one region—like floods shutting factories—can cause shortages and job losses worldwide.” For instance, extreme heat damaging crops in one country could raise food prices globally, while storms affecting shipping routes could stop production in distant industries. The findings support limiting warming to 1.7℃, which is in line with the Paris Agreement and far lower than 2.7°C backed by previous models. “Old assumptions made severe climate change seem manageable, which shaped weak policies,” Dr. Neal says. The study also challenges the idea that colder nations like Russia or Canada might benefit from milder winters. “Even if farming improves in some areas, supply chain failures and global market crashes will erase those gains,” Dr. Neal notes. No country, he adds, can fully escape climate-related economic harm. However, the research does not address adaptation strategies, such as relocating communities or developing climate-resistant infrastructure(基础设施). Dr. Neal admits these factors are hard to predict due to political and practical challenges. “We’re already seeing climate impacts—higher food costs, unaffordable insurance and damaged infrastructure. These real-world effects must guide our decisions,” he says. The study calls for urgent global cooperation to accelerate emission reductions and protect supply chains. Governments and businesses now face pressure to invest in renewable energy, strengthen international trade agreements and prepare for climate-driven breakdowns. “Every year of delayed action raises costs and risks,” Dr. Neal warns. “Rapid decarbonization isn’t just about saving the planet—it’s about saving our economy.” 32. What can we say about earlier climate-economic models? A. They overestimated climate risks. B. They didn’t consider global interconnectedness. C. They highlighted some climate benefits. D. They provided solutions for each country. 33. What consequence did previous climate-economic models bring according to the text? A. They led to weak policies. B. They increased farming profits. C. They delayed relocating communities. D. They strengthened international cooperation. 34. What is Dr. Neal emphasizing in the last paragraph? A. The advantages of milder winters. B. The significance of renewable energy. C The problems with adaptation strategies. D. The urgency of addressing climate change. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Climate Change Damages Agricultural Output. B. Global Economy Will Face 40% Loss Under 4℃ Warming. C. Colder Nations: The Big Winners in Climate Change. D. Previous Climate-Economic Models: A Reliable Guide. 【答案】32. B 33. A 34. D 35. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新南威尔士大学的一项突破性研究。该研究预测全球变暖4℃将导致2100年全球GDP下降40%，并呼吁立即改变政策以减少经济损失。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“Past studies assumed countries could manage climate impacts alone. But today’s economy relies on global networks. A disaster in one region—like floods shutting factories—can cause shortages and job losses worldwide.(过去的研究假设各国可以独自应对气候影响。但如今的经济依赖全球网络。一个地区的灾难 —— 比如洪水导致工厂关闭 —— 可能会导致全球范围内的物资短缺和失业)”可知，早期的气候经济模型没有考虑到全球的相互关联性。故选B。 【33题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段“Old assumptions made severe climate change seem manageable, which shaped weak policies,” Dr. Neal says.(尼尔博士说：“旧的假设使严重的气候变化看起来是可控制的，这导致了政策不力”)”可知，以前的气候经济模型带来的后果是导致了政策不力。故选A。 【34题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Dr. Neal warns. “Rapid decarbonization isn’t just about saving the planet—it’s about saving our economy.”(尼尔博士警告说：“快速脱碳不仅仅是为了拯救地球 —— 这关乎拯救我们的经济”)”可推知，尼尔博士在最后一段强调了应对气候变化的紧迫性。故选D。 【35题详解】 主旨大意题。根据第一段“A groundbreaking study from the University of New South Wales predicts that global GDP could drop by 40% by 2100 if temperatures rise by 4℃—far higher than earlier estimates of 11%.(新南威尔士大学的一项开创性研究预测，如果气温上升 4℃，到 2100 年全球 GDP 可能下降 40%—— 远高于之前估计的 11%)”以及全文内容可知，文章主要围绕如果气温上升 4℃对全球经济的影响展开。B选项“在气温上升 4℃的情况下，全球经济将面临 40% 的损失”为最佳标题。故选B。 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。 Good communication isn’t just about the words we say.

Rose had entered the nursing home with her 72nd birthday cake, excited to see her friend Arthur, who was also 72 years old. For the past five years, they had been inseparable, sharing meals, finishing each other’s sentences and dancing to their favorite song, Just the Two of Us, on Rose’s old radio. But Arthur wasn’t where they usually met. He always greeted her with hand-picked flowers when she returned from the hospital. This time, he was nowhere to be seen. When Rose asked the staff, they told her that Arthur’s nephew had taken him away while she was at the hospital. Heartbroken, Rose returned to her room, filled with memories of Arthur. She sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes fixed on the wall where they had hung a picture of themselves during a picnic last summer. For two nights, she lay awake, the darkness of the room mirroring the emptiness in her heart. Staring at the windows, she missed the days when Arthur was by her side. She found a note from Arthur with an address in Springfield, Virginia, but the last part of the house number was unclear. Despite the uncertainty, Rose was determined to find Arthur. She held the radio tightly as she left, thinking it could be the way to find him. Rose used her $50 savings to buy a bus ticket to Springfield. However, she ended up in the wrong Springfield, in Missouri, not Virginia. With only $15 left, she was in a difficult situation. However, Rose didn’t give up. She asked around at the bus station. A bus driver told her how to get to the right Springfield. Finally, she made it to the right Springfield, Virginia, but she still had no exact house number. Rose had an idea. She remembered that Arthur loved their favorite song, Just the Two of Us. 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。 She switched on the radio, found the song and turned the volume up all the way. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 She switched on the radio, found the song and turned the volume up all the way. The sound of the song filled the quiet neighborhood, floating through open windows and across neatly trimmed lawns. As the music played, doors began to open, and curious faces peeked out, wondering about the source of the nostalgic tune. Rose walked slowly down the street, her eyes searching for any sign of Arthur, her heart pounding with a mix of hope and anxiety. The warm melody seemed to be a beacon, guiding her through the unfamiliar place, as if leading her to a long-awaited reunion. Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. It was Arthur! He rushed towards her, his eyes shining with joy and disbelief, his arms outstretched. They hugged tightly, tears streaming down their faces, as if trying to hold onto every precious moment.

B In 2022, feeling unwell at home, celebrated novelist and screenwriter Hanif Kureishi fell, broke his neck and woke up paralyzed, unable to move his hands or body. For a year, he recovered in hospitals before returning home, where he now relies on full-time care. Kureishi poured his anger and depression into writing. Just days after the accident, he began dictating (口述) his work Shattered to his partner and son. The book explorers his loss of independence and the shame of relying on others. Yet writing gave him purpose: “Even on painkillers, I wrote daily blogs. People cared about my story — it kept me going,” he says. Today, Kureishi uses a wheelchair and cannot stand or hold objects. Despite limited mobility, he works daily. “My job — talking and writing — saved me,” he explains. Many paralyzed patients cannot return to work, but Kureishi continues creating. “I earn money and support my family. I write more now than before,” he adds. His determination overcomes physical limits, proving creativity develops well in tough times. Each morning, he tackles physical therapy (治疗) with the same discipline he applies to writing, viewing both as acts of rebellion against his condition. Reflecting on his accident, he recalls hospital patients with similar stories: a man who jumped into an empty pool and another who tripped over a garden tool. “These unpredictable moments change everything. You are upset, asking ‘Why me?’, but anger gradually goes away when you rebuild purpose,” he says. Kureishi acknowledges the unfairness but focuses on what he can control — his work and relationships. He emphasizes gratitude for his support system, crediting loved ones for helping him handle daily challenges. Looking ahead, Kureishi remains ambitious. He’s writing another book, working together on a film with director Luca Guadagnino, and eagerly awaits Shattered’s US release. His days combine creativity and routine: mornings devoted to writing, afternoons to physical therapy, and evenings spent brainstorming new ideas. “Disability isn’t the end,” he insists. “It’s a new chapter — one where I write my own rules.” 24 What happened to Hanif Kureishi in 2022? A. He had a life-changing accident. B. He had a big argument with his son. C. He suddenly lost his ability to speak. D. He failed to complete his work on time. 25. What does the underlined word “rebellion” in paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Doubt. B. Struggle. C. Argument. D. Complaint. 26. Why does Kureishi mention other patients’ stories? A. To highlight the predictability of events. B. To explain the process of physical therapy. C. To show the importance of a positive mentality. D. To describe the challenges of writing while disabled. 27. What can we learn about Kureishi from the last paragraph? A. He is giving up on recovery. B. He is very angry about his disability. C. He thinks his disability is not affecting him. D. He is determined to live life on his terms. C Have you ever tried leaving your phone in another room to focus better? New research from the London School of Economics suggests this common strategy might not work as hoped. The study, published in Frontiers in Computer Science, found that while keeping phones out of reach reduces phone use, people simply shift their distractions to other devices. In the experiment,22 participants completed two five-hour computer work sessions (一段时间). During one session, phones stayed on their desks; in the other, phones were placed 1.5 meters away. When phones were distant, participants spent half as much time on them (15 minutes vs.29 minutes) and used them less frequently. But this didn’t boost productivity. Instead, they doubled their time on computer-based leisure — like browsing shopping sites or news articles — keeping the total break time nearly identical. “Our brains desire breaks, and if one distraction isn’t available, we’ll find another,” explains lead researcher Dr. Katarzyna Stawarz. The study highlights that phones are just a preferred distraction tool, not the root cause. The study disproved two common beliefs. First, notifications (通知) played almost no role in phone use. Participants received very few notifications that could interrupt them (only about half a notification per session on average). However, these notifications didn’t influence their behavior. This goes against the idea that when notifications are managed, there is a decrease in how often the phone is used. Second, a “self-awareness gap” emerged: when phones were nearby, participants underestimated their usage by nearly 50%, but with phones farther away, their estimates matched reality. This suggests that while physical distance made them more mindful of their habits, it does not solve the core issue of unplanned breaks. Workplace phone bans often fail because they ignore the human need for breaks. “Instead of blaming devices, we need healthier work patterns,” says Stawarz. For students and workers, the message is clear: Distraction isn’t about your phone — it’s about balancing focus and rest. Building self-control and planning intentional breaks may work better than fighting technology. 28. Why did participants’ total break time remain unchanged despite reduced phone use? A. They shifted leisure activities to computers. B. They slept for a while during sessions. C. They engaged in face-to-face conversations. D. They took more walks around the work area. 29. What conclusion does the study challenge? A. Self-control alone can prevent breaks. B. Phones are a necessary tool for work. C. Controlling notifications reduces phone use. D. Workplace bans boost focus effectively. 30. What does the “self-awareness gap” mentioned in the study indicate? A. People feel more in control with phones nearby. B Physical distance causes overestimation of phone use. C. Closeness to phones leads to inaccurate usage estimates. D. Less phone use boosts self-control over other distractions. 31. What does the text imply about effective productivity strategies? A. Strict device removal policies are essential. B. Increasing work hours guarantees better results. C. Technology is key to managing distractions. D. Satisfying human needs for breaks is crucial. D A groundbreaking study from the University of New South Wales predicts that global GDP could drop by 40% by 2100 if temperatures rise by 4℃—far higher than earlier estimates of 11%. The research, led by the Institute for Climate Risk & Response, highlights the problems in existing climate-economic models and urges immediate policy changes. Earlier models underestimated climate risks. Dr. Timothy Neal, lead researcher, explains, “Past studies assumed countries could manage climate impacts alone. But today’s economy relies on global networks. A disaster in one region—like floods shutting factories—can cause shortages and job losses worldwide.” For instance, extreme heat damaging crops in one country could raise food prices globally, while storms affecting shipping routes could stop production in distant industries. The findings support limiting warming to 1.7℃, which is in line with the Paris Agreement and far lower than 2.7°C backed by previous models. “Old assumptions made severe climate change seem manageable, which shaped weak policies,” Dr. Neal says. The study also challenges the idea that colder nations like Russia or Canada might benefit from milder winters. “Even if farming improves in some areas, supply chain failures and global market crashes will erase those gains,” Dr. Neal notes. No country, he adds, can fully escape climate-related economic harm. However, the research does not address adaptation strategies, such as relocating communities or developing climate-resistant infrastructure(基础设施). Dr. Neal admits these factors are hard to predict due to political and practical challenges. “We’re already seeing climate impacts—higher food costs, unaffordable insurance and damaged infrastructure. These real-world effects must guide our decisions,” he says. The study calls for urgent global cooperation to accelerate emission reductions and protect supply chains. Governments and businesses now face pressure to invest in renewable energy, strengthen international trade agreements and prepare for climate-driven breakdowns. “Every year of delayed action raises costs and risks,” Dr. Neal warns. “Rapid decarbonization isn’t just about saving the planet—it’s about saving our economy.” 32. What can we say about earlier climate-economic models? A They overestimated climate risks. B. They didn’t consider global interconnectedness. C. They highlighted some climate benefits. D. They provided solutions for each country. 33. What consequence did previous climate-economic models bring according to the text? A. They led to weak policies. B. They increased farming profits. C. They delayed relocating communities. D. They strengthened international cooperation. 34. What is Dr. Neal emphasizing in the last paragraph? A. The advantages of milder winters. B. The significance of renewable energy. C. The problems with adaptation strategies. D. The urgency of addressing climate change. 35. What is the best title for the text? A. Climate Change Damages Agricultural Output. B. Global Economy Will Face 40% Loss Under 4℃ Warming. C Colder Nations: The Big Winners in Climate Change. D. Previous Climate-Economic Models: A Reliable Guide. 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。 Good communication isn’t just about the words we say.

Rose had entered the nursing home with her 72nd birthday cake, excited to see her friend Arthur, who was also 72 years old. For the past five years, they had been inseparable, sharing meals, finishing each other’s sentences and dancing to their favorite song, Just the Two of Us, on Rose’s old radio. But Arthur wasn’t where they usually met. He always greeted her with hand-picked flowers when she returned from the hospital. This time, he was nowhere to be seen. When Rose asked the staff, they told her that Arthur’s nephew had taken him away while she was at the hospital. Heartbroken, Rose returned to her room, filled with memories of Arthur. She sat on the edge of her bed, her eyes fixed on the wall where they had hung a picture of themselves during a picnic last summer. For two nights, she lay awake, the darkness of the room mirroring the emptiness in her heart. Staring at the windows, she missed the days when Arthur was by her side. She found a note from Arthur with an address in Springfield, Virginia, but the last part of the house number was unclear. Despite the uncertainty, Rose was determined to find Arthur. She held the radio tightly as she left, thinking it could be the way to find him. Rose used her $50 savings to buy a bus ticket to Springfield. However, she ended up in the wrong Springfield, in Missouri, not Virginia. With only $15 left, she was in a difficult situation. However, Rose didn’t give up. She asked around at the bus station. A bus driver told her how to get to the right Springfield. Finally, she made it to the right Springfield, Virginia, but she still had no exact house number. Rose had an idea. She remembered that Arthur loved their favorite song, Just the Two of Us. 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。 She switched on the radio, found the song and turned the volume up all the way. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
