Ahmed’s hands trembled as he pointed out the rusty metal piece to the clearance worker. “My wheat field…we found five of these last week,” he murmured, watching the expert carefully plant a red flag. Fourteen years of war had turned his family’s land into a nightmare, where playing children might step on hidden death.
Memories flashed: his cousin’s empty sleeve, the burnt olive tree marking where a bomb once slept. Now, foreign aid workers in heavy suits combed his field daily. Their leader Karim, face filled with sweat, showed Ahmed the metal detector’s screen. “See this signal? Could be a bullet or an unexploded bomb. That’s why we move slowly.”
Yesterday’s tragedy haunted him. Neighbor Yusuf, desperate to plant potatoes, had touched a suspicious object with a stick. The explosion’s echo still rang in Ahmed’s ears. “We know the danger,” he told Karim, “but empty stomachs drown warnings.”
His children’s laughter drew his gaze. Nearby, workers had transformed a cleared area into a schoolyard. Little Leila waved, proudly reciting the new rhyme: “Metal pieces bring harm, tell adults on the farm!” Her brother chased butterflies where detection flags once stood.
Amina, a woman from the HALO Trust, an international charity to clear landmines, joined him. Her tools brushed soil gently, like tending a newborn. “Lost my leg here in 2018,” she said, “Now I clear paths so others won’t stumble.” Her team had turned twelve death-filled areas into playgrounds this year.
As sunset painted cleared fields golden, Ahmed knelt, pressing his palm to earth that might finally grow crops instead of grief. Somewhere, a worker’s radio played an old folk song. For the first time in years, its melody sounded like hope.
4. What tool do the clearance workers use to detect hidden explosives in Ahmed's field?
A. Metal detectors and red flags. B. Protective suits and shovels.
C. Drones and GPS mapping. D. Trained dogs and cameras.
5. Why do villagers like Yusuf risk entering uncleared fields despite the danger?
A. They believe the fields are already safe. B. They need to grow food to survive.
C. They want to assist the clearance efforts. D. They enjoy challenging dangerous tasks.
6. What safety lesson do Ahmed’s children learn from the workers?
A. Historical facts about the war. B. How to remove bombs carefully.
C. Techniques for marking danger zones. D. A rhyme about reporting dangerous objects.
7. What is the main message conveyed through Ahmed’s story?
A. War permanently destroys all hope for recovery.
B. Foreign aid alone can solve postwar problems.
C. International help and locals’ enduring hope can heal war’s wounds.
D. Advanced technology is essential for clearing explosives.
C
Every spring, a remarkable natural event unfolds in Sweden. Dozens of moose swim across the Angerman River, continuing their ancient migration route toward summer feeding grounds. What makes this year special is that over 9 million people worldwide are watching this spectacle live from their homes.
The 24-hour livestream, called “The Great Moose Migration,” first aired in 2019 with nearly one million viewers. This year, warm weather caused an early start on April 15, with broadcasts continuing until May 4. The program has become a surprise hit for Sweden’s national broadcaster SVT, despite its seemingly uneventful nature.
What makes this slow TV so attractive? Project manager Johan Erhag explains: “The peaceful nature of the broadcast helps reduce stress, both for viewers and our crew.” With twenty-six remote cameras, seven night-vision cameras, and occasional drone footage, the team is always ready when the shy animals appear.
Moose, Sweden’s largest land animals, can weigh up to 450kg and stand 210cm tall. Yet these solitary creatures are rarely seen in the wild. “Most Swedes might spot a moose just once or twice in their lifetime while driving,” says Erhag, “which explains the program’s popularity.”
The broadcast creates unexpected moments of excitement. After hours showing empty forests, the sudden appearance of a moose triggers a notification on SVT’s app: “First moose on camera!” Viewers worldwide flood the live chat with encouragement as the animal begins its river crossing.
This unique program combines wildlife observation with the relaxing qualities of slow TV, offering a window into Sweden's natural wonders while creating a shared global experience.
8. What caused the 2024 moose migration livestream to start earlier than planned?
A. Increased viewer demand. B. Technical improvements in equipment.
C. Warm weather and early moose movement. D. Changes in the moose’s traditional route.
9. How do the broadcast crew manage to capture the moose migration effectively?
A. By setting up all filming equipment in advance.
B. By following the moose with handheld cameras.
C. By setting up cameras along random river locations.
D. By relying mainly on drone footage.
10. What does Johan Erhag imply about why the moose livestream has become so popular?
A. People enjoy watching the technical aspects of live broadcasting.
B. The rarity of seeing moose in the wild adds to its appeal.
C. Viewers are primarily interested in Sweden’s geography.
D. The program’s educational content attracts families.
11. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To criticize modern society’s fascination with slow TV.
B. To explain the biological patterns of moose migration.
C. To report on an unusual nature broadcast’s global success.
D. To promote tourism to Sweden’s natural landscapes.
D
While concerns about “digital dementia”-the potential for technology to harm memory and thinking skills-have grown, new research suggests smartphones and computers might actually help protect older adults’ cognitive health, the ability to think clearly, learn effectively, remember information and make decisions, all of which are essential for maintaining independence and overall mental well-being.
A comprehensive review of 57 studies involving over 411,000 adults, whose average age was sixty-eight, revealed surprising findings. Older individuals who regularly used digital devices showed a 42% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to non-users. The research examined various technologies including smartphones, computers, social media, and email.
Scientists propose several explanations for this protective effect. First, technology use, like texting, browsing, video calls, activates multiple brain regions, strengthening neural connections as crossword puzzles do. Second, digital tools help maintain social connections, fighting loneliness known to negatively impact cognitive health. “Technology engagement appears to offer both mental exercise and social benefits,” noted Dr. Helen Zhou, the study’s lead author.
However, the study didn’t analyze specific usage patterns or duration. Additionally, since participants adopted technology later in life, results may differ for lifelong users. “Further comprehensive studies are required to establish the most effective ways of using digital tools for preserving cognitive function,” scientists cautioned.
With approximately 10 million new dementia cases annually worldwide according to data from WHO, these findings open promising avenues for prevention. In Japan, retirement homes using tablet-based memory games report 30% slower cognitive decline. While not definitive, they challenge assumptions about technology’s universal harm to aging minds and highlight its potential as a tool for maintaining cognitive vitality in older populations.
12. According to the researchers’ explanations, what factor contribute to the observed cognitive benefits?
A. Improved dietary habits. B. Enhanced social connectivity.
C. Increased physical activity. D. Better sleep quality.
13. Based on the present study, which group is LEAST likely to benefit from the study’s findings?
A. Adults who have used digital devices since childhood.
B. Seniors who started using smartphones after retirement.
C. Elderly people fighting loneliness through video calls.
D. Individuals practicing crossword puzzles alongside tech use.
14. What does the underlined word “avenues” refer to?
A. Physical pathways. B. Research methods.
C. Potential approaches. D. Technological devices.
15. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Digital Dangers for Aging Brains
B. Japan’s Success in Battling Cognitive Decline
C. Global Fight Against Cognitive Decline
D. Tech’s Surprising Role in Protecting Seniors’ Minds

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Recently I graduated from high school. The afternoon sun warmed my graduation cap as I stared at the mountain of flowers crowding my room-bunches of flowers from family and friends, forty to be exact! Roses, daisies, and lilies spilled across every surface, their sweet scent overwhelming. “How will I ever…” My thought was interrupted by sudden giggles.
Six-year-old Sue and seven-year-old Mike exploded into the room, eyes widening at the floral jungle. “Auntie, are you opening a flower shop?” Mike asked, poking a sunflower taller than himself. Sue pressed her nose into a pink rose, sneezing dramatically.
An idea bloomed. “Let’s give these to strangers!” I announced. The kids froze mid-giggle. “Why?” Sue frowned. “To grow smiles,” I explained, showing them blank cards. “We’ll write nice notes!” Cheerful creativity followed. Mike’s cards read “SMILE!!” in colourful capitals, while Sue drew rainbow hearts. We tied them to the flowers’ stems with ribbons.
Our first target stood at the park entrance-Officer Martinez, who was directing traffic, Sue dashed forward. “Flower for you!” she shouted, stretching her tiny arm upward. The officer’s stern face melted into a sunrise smile. “Made my day, kiddo,” he said, pinning the daisy to his uniform.
Next, we approached Mr. Thompson, our grumpy bus driver. “Flower for making our rides safe!” Mike declared. The man’s coffee-stained mustache twitched. “Kids these days…” he muttered, placing the lily carefully beside his timetable.
By noon, our basket neared empty. Thirty-eight flowers had found homes-a tired bus driver, a lonely bench-sitter, a laughing child and so on. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, a girl with blue-streaked hair, held her breath when Sue offered the flower. “For me? Nobody’s ever gave me a flower!” Her voice cracked as she tucked it behind her ear. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! “For the flower angles,” she grinned. The kids’ eyes lit brighter than their cookie sprinkles. As they ate the cookies, “Best cookies ever!” Sue and Mike exclaimed with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
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。
Paragraph 1: With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: It turned out to be a great day for us.

This beautiful tale about friendship and life’s meaning has about 300 translations, making it 2nd most translated.(安托万・德・圣 - 埃克苏佩里1943年的法国故事讲述了一位小王子探访不同星球的经历。这个关于友谊和生命意义的美丽童话约有300种译本,使其成为被翻译次数第二多的书籍。)”可知,《小王子》原文为法语,翻译约300种语言,超过200种。因此,这两本书的原文都不是英语,且都被翻译超过200种语言。故选C。

(这些书籍展示了精彩的故事如何跨越国界。它们的译本帮助将这份魔力分享给全球的儿童和成人,传递关于生命、诚实与想象力的重要启示。)”可知,文章的主要目的是介绍几本具有国际吸引力的、被广泛翻译的书籍,并强调它们的文化意义。故选B。
B
Ahmed’s hands trembled as he pointed out the rusty metal piece to the clearance worker. “My wheat field…we found five of these last week,” he murmured, watching the expert carefully plant a red flag. Fourteen years of war had turned his family’s land into a nightmare, where playing children might step on hidden death.
Memories flashed: his cousin’s empty sleeve, the burnt olive tree marking where a bomb once slept. Now, foreign aid workers in heavy suits combed his field daily. Their leader Karim, face filled with sweat, showed Ahmed the metal detector’s screen. “See this signal? Could be a bullet or an unexploded bomb. That’s why we move slowly.”
Yesterday’s tragedy haunted him. Neighbor Yusuf, desperate to plant potatoes, had touched a suspicious object with a stick. The explosion’s echo still rang in Ahmed’s ears. “We know the danger,” he told Karim, “but empty stomachs drown warnings.”
His children’s laughter drew his gaze. Nearby, workers had transformed a cleared area into a schoolyard. Little Leila waved, proudly reciting the new rhyme: “Metal pieces bring harm, tell adults on the farm!” Her brother chased butterflies where detection flags once stood.
Amina, a woman from the HALO Trust, an international charity to clear landmines, joined him. Her tools brushed soil gently, like tending a newborn. “Lost my leg here in 2018,” she said, “Now I clear paths so others won’t stumble.” Her team had turned twelve death-filled areas into playgrounds this year.
As sunset painted cleared fields golden, Ahmed knelt, pressing his palm to earth that might finally grow crops instead of grief. Somewhere, a worker’s radio played an old folk song. For the first time in years, its melody sounded like hope.
4. What tool do the clearance workers use to detect hidden explosives in Ahmed's field?
A. Metal detectors and red flags. B. Protective suits and shovels.
C. Drones and GPS mapping. D. Trained dogs and cameras.
5. Why do villagers like Yusuf risk entering uncleared fields despite the danger?
A. They believe the fields are already safe. B. They need to grow food to survive.
C. They want to assist the clearance efforts. D. They enjoy challenging dangerous tasks.
6. What safety lesson do Ahmed’s children learn from the workers?
A. Historical facts about the war. B. How to remove bombs carefully.
C. Techniques for marking danger zones. D. A rhyme about reporting dangerous objects.
7. What is the main message conveyed through Ahmed’s story?
A. War permanently destroys all hope for recovery.
B. Foreign aid alone can solve postwar problems.
C. International help and locals’ enduring hope can heal war’s wounds.
D. Advanced technology is essential for clearing explosives.
【答案】4. A 5. B 6. D 7. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了战后Ahmed家土地面临危险及人们努力改变现状的故事。
【4题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Their leader Karim, face filled with sweat, showed Ahmed the metal detector’s screen.(他们的领队Karim满脸是汗,给Ahmed看了金属探测器的屏幕)”以及第一段中““My wheat field…we found five of these last week,” he murmured, watching the expert carefully plant a red flag.(“我的麦田……上周我们发现了五个这样的(东西),”他喃喃自语道,同时看着那位专家小心翼翼地插上一面红旗)”可知,扫雷人员使用金属探测器探测爆炸物,并用红旗标记危险区域。故选A。
【5题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中““We know the danger,” he told Karim, “but empty stomachs drown warnings.”(“我们知道危险,”他告诉Karim,“但饥饿的肚子会淹没警告。”)”可知,像Yusuf 这样的村民尽管清楚有危险,但还是冒险进入未清理的田地,是因为他们需要种植食物来维持生存。故选B。
【6题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“Little Leila waved, proudly reciting the new rhyme: “Metal pieces bring harm, tell adults on the farm!(小Leila挥着手,自豪地背诵着新童谣:“金属碎片带来伤害,告诉农场上的大人!”)”可推知,孩子们学习了关于报告危险物品的儿歌。故选D。
【7题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文,尤其是倒数第一段的“As sunset painted cleared fields golden, Ahmed knelt, pressing his palm to earth that might finally grow crops instead of grief. Somewhere, a worker’s radio played an old folk song. For the first time in years, its melody sounded like hope.(当夕阳将清理过的田野染成金色时,Ahmed跪了下来,将手掌按在土地上,这片土地或许终于能种出庄稼,而非滋生悲痛。不知何处,一名工人的收音机里播放着一首古老的民谣。多年以来,这旋律第一次听起来像希望的乐章)”可知,文章先描述了战后Ahmed家土地因战争遗留爆炸物充满危险,接着提到有外国援助人员帮忙排雷,像Amina这样的工作人员即使自己曾因此受伤仍坚持工作,同时孩子们也学到了安全知识,最后Ahmed感受到希望。这表明国际援助和当地人持久的希望可以治愈战争的创伤。故选C。
C
Every spring, a remarkable natural event unfolds in Sweden. Dozens of moose swim across the Angerman River, continuing their ancient migration route toward summer feeding grounds. What makes this year special is that over 9 million people worldwide are watching this spectacle live from their homes.
The 24-hour livestream, called “The Great Moose Migration,” first aired in 2019 with nearly one million viewers. This year, warm weather caused an early start on April 15, with broadcasts continuing until May 4. The program has become a surprise hit for Sweden’s national broadcaster SVT, despite its seemingly uneventful nature.
What makes this slow TV so attractive? Project manager Johan Erhag explains: “The peaceful nature of the broadcast helps reduce stress, both for viewers and our crew.” With twenty-six remote cameras, seven night-vision cameras, and occasional drone footage, the team is always ready when the shy animals appear.
Moose, Sweden’s largest land animals, can weigh up to 450kg and stand 210cm tall. Yet these solitary creatures are rarely seen in the wild. “Most Swedes might spot a moose just once or twice in their lifetime while driving,” says Erhag, “which explains the program’s popularity.”
The broadcast creates unexpected moments of excitement. After hours showing empty forests, the sudden appearance of a moose triggers a notification on SVT’s app: “First moose on camera!” Viewers worldwide flood the live chat with encouragement as the animal begins its river crossing.
This unique program combines wildlife observation with the relaxing qualities of slow TV, offering a window into Sweden's natural wonders while creating a shared global experience.
8. What caused the 2024 moose migration livestream to start earlier than planned?
A. Increased viewer demand. B. Technical improvements in equipment.
C. Warm weather and early moose movement. D. Changes in the moose’s traditional route.
9. How do the broadcast crew manage to capture the moose migration effectively?
A. By setting up all filming equipment in advance.
B. By following the moose with handheld cameras.
C. By setting up cameras along random river locations.
D. By relying mainly on drone footage.
10. What does Johan Erhag imply about why the moose livestream has become so popular?
A. People enjoy watching the technical aspects of live broadcasting.
B. The rarity of seeing moose in the wild adds to its appeal.
C. Viewers are primarily interested in Sweden’s geography.
D. The program’s educational content attracts families.
11. What is the main purpose of the article?
A. To criticize modern society’s fascination with slow TV.
B. To explain the biological patterns of moose migration.
C. To report on an unusual nature broadcast’s global success.
D. To promote tourism to Sweden’s natural landscapes.
【答案】8. C 9. A 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述瑞典电视台的驼鹿迁徙直播节目开播,吸引了全球数百万观众围观。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“This year, warm weather caused an early start on April 15, with broadcasts continuing until May 4. (今年,由于天气温暖,广播从4月15日开始提前,一直持续到5月4日。)”可知,由于天气温暖,驼鹿提前出发,所以2024年驼鹿迁徙直播比计划提前开始,故选C。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“With twenty-six remote cameras, seven night-vision cameras, and occasional drone footage, the team is always ready when the shy animals appear. (有26个远程摄像机,7个夜视摄像机,偶尔还有无人机镜头,当害羞的动物出现时,团队总是准备好了。)”可知,广播工作人员通过提前设置好所有的拍摄设备来有效地捕捉到驼鹿迁徙,故选A。
【10题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段中“‘Most Swedes might spot a moose just once or twice in their lifetime while driving,’ says Erhag, ‘which explains the program’s popularity.’ (‘大多数瑞典人一生中可能只有一两次在开车时看到驼鹿,’Erhag说,‘这就解释了这个节目的受欢迎程度。’)”可知,Johan Erhag的意思是因为在野外很难见到驼鹿,所以“驼鹿大迁徙”节目受到欢迎,故选B。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。根据全文内容,结合第一段“Every spring, a remarkable natural event unfolds in Sweden. Dozens of moose swim across the Angerman River, continuing their ancient migration route toward summer feeding grounds. What makes this year special is that over 9 million people worldwide are watching this spectacle live from their homes. (今年春天,瑞典都会上演一场引人注目的自然奇观。数十头驼鹿游过安格曼河,继续它们古老的迁徙路线,前往夏季觅食地。今年的特别之处在于,全球有超过900万人在家中观看了这一奇观。)”可知,文章主要讲述瑞典电视台的驼鹿迁徙直播节目开播,吸引了全球数百万观众围观,故本文目的是报道一个不寻常的自然广播在全球的成功,故选C。
D
While concerns about “digital dementia”-the potential for technology to harm memory and thinking skills-have grown, new research suggests smartphones and computers might actually help protect older adults’ cognitive health, the ability to think clearly, learn effectively, remember information and make decisions, all of which are essential for maintaining independence and overall mental well-being.
A comprehensive review of 57 studies involving over 411,000 adults, whose average age was sixty-eight, revealed surprising findings. Older individuals who regularly used digital devices showed a 42% lower risk of cognitive decline compared to non-users. The research examined various technologies including smartphones, computers, social media, and email.
Scientists propose several explanations for this protective effect. First, technology use, like texting, browsing, video calls, activates multiple brain regions, strengthening neural connections as crossword puzzles do. Second, digital tools help maintain social connections, fighting loneliness known to negatively impact cognitive health. “Technology engagement appears to offer both mental exercise and social benefits,” noted Dr. Helen Zhou, the study’s lead author.
However, the study didn’t analyze specific usage patterns or duration. Additionally, since participants adopted technology later in life, results may differ for lifelong users. “Further comprehensive studies are required to establish the most effective ways of using digital tools for preserving cognitive function,” scientists cautioned.
With approximately 10 million new dementia cases annually worldwide according to data from WHO, these findings open promising avenues for prevention. In Japan, retirement homes using tablet-based memory games report 30% slower cognitive decline. While not definitive, they challenge assumptions about technology’s universal harm to aging minds and highlight its potential as a tool for maintaining cognitive vitality in older populations.
12. According to the researchers’ explanations, what factor contribute to the observed cognitive benefits?
A. Improved dietary habits. B. Enhanced social connectivity.
C. Increased physical activity. D. Better sleep quality.
13. Based on the present study, which group is LEAST likely to benefit from the study’s findings?
A. Adults who have used digital devices since childhood.
B. Seniors who started using smartphones after retirement.
C. Elderly people fighting loneliness through video calls.
D. Individuals practicing crossword puzzles alongside tech use.
14. What does the underlined word “avenues” refer to?
A. Physical pathways. B. Research methods.
C. Potential approaches. D. Technological devices.
15. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Digital Dangers for Aging Brains
B. Japan’s Success in Battling Cognitive Decline
C. Global Fight Against Cognitive Decline
D. Tech’s Surprising Role in Protecting Seniors’ Minds
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了新研究表明智能手机和电脑等数字设备可能有助于保护老年人的认知健康,研究发现经常使用数字设备的老年人认知能力下降的风险比不使用的人低42%,并阐述了其背后的原因,同时指出研究的局限性,这些发现为预防认知能力下降提供了新途径。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“Second, digital tools help maintain social connections, fighting loneliness known to negatively impact cognitive health.(其次,数字工具有助于维持社会联系,对抗已知会对认知健康产生负面影响的孤独感)” 可知,增强的社会联系有助于带来认知方面的益处。故选B。
【13题详解】
推理判断题。根据第四段“Additionally, since participants adopted technology later in life, results may differ for lifelong users.(此外,由于参与者是在晚年才开始使用这些技术,对于一生都在使用这些技术的用户来说,结果可能会有所不同)”可推知,从童年就开始使用数字设备的成年人最不可能从这项研究结果中受益。故选A。
【14题详解】
词义猜测题型。根据最后一段“With approximately 10 million new dementia cases annually worldwide according to data from WHO, these findings open promising avenues for prevention.(根据世界卫生组织的数据,全球每年约有 1000 万新的痴呆症病例,这些发现为预防开辟了有前景的avenues)”可知 ,前文提及新研究发现数字设备对老年人认知健康有益,而这里说全球每年有大量新的痴呆症病例,基于这些发现,应该是为预防痴呆症开启了有希望的途径或方法。所以avenues指的是预防痴呆症的潜在方法。故选C。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。主要讲述新研究表明智能手机和电脑等数字设备可能有助于保护老年人的认知健康,研究发现经常使用数字设备的老年人认知能力下降的风险比不使用的人低42%,并阐述了其背后的原因,同时指出研究的局限性,这些发现为预防认知能力下降提供了新途径。由此可知,短文的最佳标题为“科技在保护老年人思维方面令人惊讶的作用”。故选D。

(例如,你可以在日记中写下你的祝福,或者向他人表达感激之情)”则举例说明了具体的做法,D选项“简单的日常练习可以帮助你改变心态”承上启下,引出下文的具体做法,change your state of mind与上文Switching to an abundant mind相呼应,符合语境。故选D。

【答案】
Dear Editor,
With the approach of Mental Wellness Week, I’m writing to share some observations and suggestions regarding our students’ mental health and potential activities.
Nowadays, many students are experiencing psychological phenomena such as anxiety and stress due to academic pressure. To address these issues, I propose organizing workshops on stress management and mindfulness techniques, which could equip students with practical coping strategies. Additionally, a peer support group could be established, allowing students to share experiences and offer mutual encouragement.
I believe these activities will not only raise awareness about mental wellness but also foster a supportive community on campus.
Yours,
Li Hua

第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一个完整的短文。
Recently I graduated from high school. The afternoon sun warmed my graduation cap as I stared at the mountain of flowers crowding my room-bunches of flowers from family and friends, forty to be exact! Roses, daisies, and lilies spilled across every surface, their sweet scent overwhelming. “How will I ever…” My thought was interrupted by sudden giggles.
Six-year-old Sue and seven-year-old Mike exploded into the room, eyes widening at the floral jungle. “Auntie, are you opening a flower shop?” Mike asked, poking a sunflower taller than himself. Sue pressed her nose into a pink rose, sneezing dramatically.
An idea bloomed. “Let’s give these to strangers!” I announced. The kids froze mid-giggle. “Why?” Sue frowned. “To grow smiles,” I explained, showing them blank cards. “We’ll write nice notes!” Cheerful creativity followed. Mike’s cards read “SMILE!!” in colourful capitals, while Sue drew rainbow hearts. We tied them to the flowers’ stems with ribbons.
Our first target stood at the park entrance-Officer Martinez, who was directing traffic, Sue dashed forward. “Flower for you!” she shouted, stretching her tiny arm upward. The officer’s stern face melted into a sunrise smile. “Made my day, kiddo,” he said, pinning the daisy to his uniform.
Next, we approached Mr. Thompson, our grumpy bus driver. “Flower for making our rides safe!” Mike declared. The man’s coffee-stained mustache twitched. “Kids these days…” he muttered, placing the lily carefully beside his timetable.
By noon, our basket neared empty. Thirty-eight flowers had found homes-a tired bus driver, a lonely bench-sitter, a laughing child and so on. It was lunch time and we went to Subway for lunch. There the kids gave a flower to the waitress, a girl with blue-streaked hair, held her breath when Sue offered the flower. “For me? Nobody’s ever gave me a flower!” Her voice cracked as she tucked it behind her ear. As we were eating our lunch, the waitress came up to the kids with two big chocolate cookies! “For the flower angles,” she grinned. The kids’ eyes lit brighter than their cookie sprinkles. As they ate the cookies, “Best cookies ever!” Sue and Mike exclaimed with the biggest smiles I had ever seen.
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。
Paragraph 1: With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Paragraph 2: It turned out to be a great day for us.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】范文
With just one flower left, I said it should be given to the person who needed it most. Just then, my nephew caught sight of an old woman in a wheelchair nearby. “I think she’s the very person for the flower. She lives a hard life because of bad health. She needs smiles most,” said my nephew. With these words, my nephew, followed by my niece, took the flower up to her. You can imagine how happy the old woman looked! She smiled, and gave each of the kids a big kiss.
It turned out to be a great day for us. We spread a lot of smiles by giving out flowers, and received a lot of smiles in return. The flowers not only made us feel good about ourselves, but also made 40 other people feel happy. I feel there is nothing more enjoyable than being friendly to people. Meanwhile, the kids learned an important lesson in the process. In fact, they can’t wait until next time they have such a chance again. They want to give out more flowers!
