In the old libraries of Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves, a 21-year-old computer student named Zhang Wei found something amazing. While studying 50,000 ancient papers scanned (扫描) into computers since 2020, she noticed that 30% had strange marks no one could read. These marks came from old languages once used along the Silk Road. This led her to create “SilkRoad AI” — a computer program that mixes language studies with smart machines to understand forgotten writing.
Zhang’s success came from studying stone markers in Xi’an. These stones had the same message in Chinese and two other ancient languages. Her program looked at how the marks were drawn and what they might mean. After months of work, the AI guessed 82% of the unknown marks correctly by matching them to known sounds. But some experts voiced different opinions. Professor Li from Beijing University said, “Computers can’t understand the hidden stories in old writings.”
In 2023, Zhang’s team tested their AI at an international history meeting. They used it to read a 1,200-year-old medical book from an ancient kingdom. The computer translated plant names and found 17 types still used in traditional medicine. When scientists checked these findings against modern plant records, they were proved correct. The test helped Zhang get UNESCO’s support to protect disappearing local languages.
Now working with the British Museum on ancient Indian writings, Zhang’s AI has helped experts understand 4,000-year-old business records. Her newest idea uses phone cameras — when visitors point their phones at damaged paintings in the Mogao Caves, they can see repaired pictures with computer-translated explanations. “We’re not just solving word puzzles,” Zhang says. “We’re helping people from different times and places talk to each other again.”
4. What led Zhang Wei to create “SilkRoad AI”?
A. A program about the Silk Road.
B. Her interest in computer science.
C. Strange marks on ancient papers.
D. Amazing libraries of Mogao Caves.
5. What was Professor Li’s attitude towards Zhang Wei’s methods?
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. A study on traditional medicine.
B. An international history meeting.
C. The effectiveness of SilkRoad AI.
D. The protection of local languages.
7. What can we learn from Zhang’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Her newest idea is creative.
B. Her work easily solves word puzzles.
C. Her AI helps understand business records.
D. Her program connects the past and present.

The plants of the South African Fynbos region are no stranger to fire. Many species have adapted to dealing with and even depending on fire to complete their lifecycles. There is one species, however, that takes this to the extreme. It is named the fire lily. This plant provides wonderful flower shows during its brief flowering time after summer fires. Through its “phoenix-like” (凤凰涅槃的) habit, it is a source of interest and wonder, especially when seen in the wild against a blackened, ashy (布满灰烬的) background.
For most of the year, the plant is only a small group of narrow, long leaves. As the dry months of summer approach, the leaves senesce and the plant more or less disappears until its time to flower. However, unlike other plants in this region, the fire lily lies in wait for a very special flowering cue (暗示) —smoke. It has been noted that fire lilies only seem to want to reproduce after a fire. No other environmental factor seems to cause flowering. This has made them quite annoying for their lovers. Only after a fire burns over the landscape, will a scape (花梗) appear, topped with anywhere from 1 to 12 red flowers.
This dependence on fire for flowering has attracted the attention of a few scientists concerned with protection of this kind of plant. Obviously, if we care about protecting species like the fire lily, it is extremely important that we understand how they reproduce.
By experimenting with various burn and smoke treatments, researchers found out that it wasn’t heat that caused flowering but rather something in the smoke itself. Though researchers were not able to separate out the exact chemical(s) (化学物质) responsible, at least we now know that we can make fire lilies flower using smoke alone.
8. What can we know about the fire lily from the first paragraph?
A. It is totally strange to fire. B. Its lifecycle depends on fire.
C It has a long flowering time. D. Its flowers look like phoenixes.
9. What does the underlined word “senesce” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Fade. B. Grow. C. Dance. D. Shine.
10. What is probably the key factor for fire lily flowering?
A. Heat. B. Smoke. C. Weather. D. Chemical.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Fire Lily: Out of the Ashes
B. Fire Lily: Away from Smoke
C. A Plant Driving Its Lovers Crazy
D. An Endangered Species in the Wild
D
You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, and feeling full and satisfied ... only to take a look at the dessert (甜点) menu and decide the cheesecake looks just mouthwatering. So why is it that you just absolutely couldn’t have another bite, but you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat?
Scientists now have a better understanding of the neural (神经的) origins of this urge (强烈欲望) thanks to a recent study. Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a scene similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard food diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more.
Then it was time for a 30-minute “dessert” period. The first round of the experiment, researchers offered mice more food for dessert, and the mice ate just a little bit more. The second time around, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, eating six times more calories than when they had in the first round.
In the mice, researchers tracked the activity of neurons (神经元) that are connected with feelings of fullness, called POMC neurons. They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical produced within your body. “When we taste something sweet, it’s not just the sugar we’re taking in — it’s setting off a system in the brain that connects the sweet taste with pleasure, which makes us want to keep eating,” says Dr. Paule Joseph, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health.
Fenselau, one of the study authors, says studying this neural system further could throw light on how taking in too much sugar may contribute to the development of fatness.
12. What does the experiment with the mice aim to do?
A. Compare the diets of mice and humans.
B Measure how much the mice need in a meal.
C. Explore why there’s always room for dessert.
D. Test mice’s preference for different types of food.
13. What did the mice do in the second round of “dessert period”?
A. They took longer to enjoy dessert.
B. They refused to eat any more food.
C. They ate much more high-sugar feed.
D. They showed no interest in sweet treats.
14. What does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The feelings of fullness.
B. Definition of POMC neurons.
C. The harm of keeping eating dessert.
D. Connection between sweets and pleasure.
15. What is the significance of further study according to Fenselau?
A. To change people’s eating habits.
B. To help make wiser food choices.
C. To know the neural science better.
D. To uncover how sugar affects fatness.

Breaking up with your phone isn’t easy. It’s your alarm clock, your news source, your window into everyone else’s seemingly perfect lives. But what about putting your phone down? ____16____ A few small changes can help you focus better, clear your mind, and remind you of what life feels like without endless scrolling (滑动屏幕).
Your phone is a battlefield for your attention, and some apps are the enemy. Social media, news updates, and games you don’t even remember downloading. ____17____ The simplest way to stop being distracted (分神) is to remove them. The more unnecessary apps you remove, the fewer distractions you face.
Need something to remind you? Check your phone’s usage history. Most phones now have built-in tracking tools that show exactly how much time you’re spending on each app. ____18____ Use this data to set proper goals — maybe cutting social media time in half or reducing evening phone use. Small, measurable changes lead to long-term improvements.
Ever check your phone just out of habit? ____19____ Pick up a book instead of scrolling or try learning a new skill — playing an instrument, cooking, or drawing. Get outside — take a walk, hit the gym, or explore a new part of your city?
____20____ That habit creates a mix of work and personal time. Instead, try this: As soon as you enter your house, put your phone in a box, or in another room. This simple move shows that your focus has changed — away from work and toward relaxing and spending time with others.
A. Fill that space with something better.
B. That’s where the real magic happens.
C. They’re all designed to keep you addicted.
D. Download it today and start making real changes.
E. That’s a direct invitation to check emails at midnight.
F. Seeing the numbers in black and white can be eye-opening.
G. People often arrive home and immediately check their phone.

Just as Emily’s hope began to ____26____ a girl named Sarah paused at the booth. “Are these for free?” Sarah asked. Emily nodded, trying to ____27____ her relief. “Yes, they’re for children who need them.”

52. 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。
I worked with a group of junior students. They could only read some materials at the third-grade level. I found it difficult to teach them, and I often felt helpless in trying to tutor (辅导) these kids. They were absent from school every now and then. I tutored them in small groups, but the results were not encouraging.
There was another problem — almost no reading materials were suitable for my students at such a low level. They wanted to read about relationships, dating, clothes and cars, not materials like “Run, Spot, run! See the ball.” The kids thought my materials were too babyish. Unfortunately, more interesting materials were too difficult for them to understand. One boy said, “Hey, man, this material is boring. And it’s foolish, too! Why do we get to read this junk (无用的东西)?”
One day, an idea suddenly came into my mind: I could raise some money to start a tutoring project. We didn’t get a lot of money, but it was enough for the project.
Nearby was a primary school. The third-grade students needed help with reading. I “hired” my students as reading tutors. I promised to pay anyone who’d help with those younger children. “You’ve got to know, that if you don’t show up, you won’t get paid. As a tutor, if you don’t work with care, it will be very disappointing to a young child. And I am sure every one of you will make a good tutor.”
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。
All my students agreed to have a try.

In the old libraries of Dunhuang’s Mogao Caves, a 21-year-old computer student named Zhang Wei found something amazing. While studying 50,000 ancient papers scanned (扫描) into computers since 2020, she noticed that 30% had strange marks no one could read. These marks came from old languages once used along the Silk Road. This led her to create “SilkRoad AI” — a computer program that mixes language studies with smart machines to understand forgotten writing.
Zhang’s success came from studying stone markers in Xi’an. These stones had the same message in Chinese and two other ancient languages. Her program looked at how the marks were drawn and what they might mean. After months of work, the AI guessed 82% of the unknown marks correctly by matching them to known sounds. But some experts voiced different opinions. Professor Li from Beijing University said, “Computers can’t understand the hidden stories in old writings.”
In 2023, Zhang’s team tested their AI at an international history meeting. They used it to read a 1,200-year-old medical book from an ancient kingdom. The computer translated plant names and found 17 types still used in traditional medicine. When scientists checked these findings against modern plant records, they were proved correct. The test helped Zhang get UNESCO’s support to protect disappearing local languages.
Now working with the British Museum on ancient Indian writings, Zhang’s AI has helped experts understand 4,000-year-old business records. Her newest idea uses phone cameras — when visitors point their phones at damaged paintings in the Mogao Caves, they can see repaired pictures with computer-translated explanations. “We’re not just solving word puzzles,” Zhang says. “We’re helping people from different times and places talk to each other again.”
4. What led Zhang Wei to create “SilkRoad AI”?
A. A program about the Silk Road.
B. Her interest in computer science.
C. Strange marks on ancient papers.
D. Amazing libraries of Mogao Caves.
5. What was Professor Li’s attitude towards Zhang Wei’s methods?
A. Doubtful. B. Uninterested. C. Unclear. D. Positive.
6. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. A study on traditional medicine.

The plants of the South African Fynbos region are no stranger to fire. Many species have adapted to dealing with and even depending on fire to complete their lifecycles. There is one species, however, that takes this to the extreme. It is named the fire lily. This plant provides wonderful flower shows during its brief flowering time after summer fires. Through its “phoenix-like” (凤凰涅槃的) habit, it is a source of interest and wonder, especially when seen in the wild against a blackened, ashy (布满灰烬的) background.
For most of the year, the plant is only a small group of narrow, long leaves. As the dry months of summer approach, the leaves senesce and the plant more or less disappears until its time to flower. However, unlike other plants in this region, the fire lily lies in wait for a very special flowering cue (暗示) —smoke. It has been noted that fire lilies only seem to want to reproduce after a fire. No other environmental factor seems to cause flowering. This has made them quite annoying for their lovers. Only after a fire burns over the landscape, will a scape (花梗) appear, topped with anywhere from 1 to 12 red flowers.
This dependence on fire for flowering has attracted the attention of a few scientists concerned with protection of this kind of plant. Obviously, if we care about protecting species like the fire lily, it is extremely important that we understand how they reproduce.
By experimenting with various burn and smoke treatments, researchers found out that it wasn’t heat that caused flowering but rather something in the smoke itself. Though researchers were not able to separate out the exact chemical(s) (化学物质) responsible, at least we now know that we can make fire lilies flower using smoke alone.
8. What can we know about the fire lily from the first paragraph?
A. It is totally strange to fire. B. Its lifecycle depends on fire.
C. It has a long flowering time. D. Its flowers look like phoenixes.
9. What does the underlined word “senesce” in paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Fade. B. Grow. C. Dance. D. Shine.
10. What is probably the key factor for fire lily flowering?
A. Heat. B. Smoke. C. Weather. D. Chemical.
11. Which of the following is the best title for the text?
A. Fire Lily: Out of the Ashes
B. Fire Lily: Away from Smoke
C. A Plant Driving Its Lovers Crazy
D. An Endangered Species in the Wild
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. B 11. A
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述南非Fynbos地区的火百合如何依赖火灾后的烟雾开花,以及科学家对其繁殖机制的研究。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段的句子“Many species have adapted to dealing with and even depending on fire to complete their lifecycles. There is one species, however, that takes this to the extreme. It is named the fire lily.(许多物种已经适应了应对火灾,甚至依赖火灾来完成它们的生命周期。然而,有一种物种将这一点发挥到了极致,它就是火百合)”可知,火百合的生命周期依赖火。故选B项。
【9题详解】
词句猜测题。根据上文的“As the dry months of summer approach(随着干燥的夏季的临近,叶子……)”和下文的“the plant more or less disappears until its time to flower(这种植物或多或少会消失,直到开花的时候)”可推测随着夏季干燥月份的临近,叶子会枯萎,“senesce” 应是“枯萎、凋谢”的意思,与“Fade”意义一致。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据原文最后一段的句子“By experimenting with various burn and smoke treatments, researchers found out that it wasn’t heat that caused flowering but rather something in the smoke itself.(通过对各种燃烧和烟雾处理进行实验,研究人员发现导致开花的不是热量,而是烟雾本身的某种物质)”可知,烟雾可能是火百合开花的关键因素。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。根据全文内容,特别是第一段“The plants of the South African Fynbos region are no stranger to fire. Many species have adapted to dealing with and even depending on fire to complete their lifecycles. There is one species, however, that takes this to the extreme. It is named the fire lily. This plant provides wonderful flower shows during its brief flowering time after summer fires. Through its “phoenix-like” (凤凰涅槃的) habit, it is a source of interest and wonder, especially when seen in the wild against a blackened, ashy (布满灰烬的) background.(南非费因博斯地区的植物对火灾并不陌生。许多物种已经适应了与火打交道,甚至依赖火来完成它们的生命周期。然而,有一种物种将这一点发挥到了极致。它被命名为火百合。这种植物在夏季火灾后的短暂开花期间提供了精彩的花卉展示。通过其“凤凰涅槃”的习性,它成为了一个有趣和奇妙的来源,尤其是在野外黑色、布满灰烬的背景下。)”可知,文章主要围绕火百合依赖火灾,在火灾后的灰烬中开花的特点展开,A选项“Fire Lily: Out of the Ashes(火百合:从灰烬中重生)”能准确概括文章主旨。故选A项。

You probably know the feeling of having a hearty meal at a restaurant, and feeling full and satisfied ... only to take a look at the dessert (甜点) menu and decide the cheesecake looks just mouthwatering. So why is it that you just absolutely couldn’t have another bite, but you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat?
Scientists now have a better understanding of the neural (神经的) origins of this urge (强烈欲望) thanks to a recent study. Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a scene similar to the human experience described above. They started by offering a standard food diet to mice who hadn’t eaten since the previous day. That “meal” period lasted for 90 minutes, and the mice ate until they couldn’t eat any more.
Then it was time for a 30-minute “dessert” period. The first round of the experiment, researchers offered mice more food for dessert, and the mice ate just a little bit more. The second time around, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, eating six times more calories than when they had in the first round.
In the mice, researchers tracked the activity of neurons (神经元) that are connected with feelings of fullness, called POMC neurons. They found that when the mice were eating the high sugar diet, the neurons released a chemical produced within your body. “When we taste something sweet, it’s not just the sugar we’re taking in — it’s setting off a system in the brain that connects the sweet taste with pleasure, which makes us want to keep eating,” says Dr. Paule Joseph, a researcher at the National Institutes of Health.
Fenselau, one of the study authors, says studying this neural system further could throw light on how taking in too much sugar may contribute to the development of fatness.
12. What does the experiment with the mice aim to do?
A. Compare the diets of mice and humans.
B. Measure how much the mice need in a meal.
C. Explore why there’s always room for dessert.
D. Test mice’s preference for different types of food.
13. What did the mice do in the second round of “dessert period”?
A. They took longer to enjoy dessert.
B. They refused to eat any more food.
C. They ate much more high-sugar feed.
D. They showed no interest in sweet treats.
14. What does paragraph 4 focus on?
A. The feelings of fullness.
B. Definition of POMC neurons.
C. The harm of keeping eating dessert.
D. Connection between sweets and pleasure.
15. What is the significance of further study according to Fenselau?
A. To change people’s eating habits.
B. To help make wiser food choices.
C. To know the neural science better.
D. To uncover how sugar affects fatness.
【答案】12. C 13. C 14. D 15. D

【12题详解】
推理判断题。根据第一段中“So why is it that you just absolutely couldn’t have another bite, but you somehow make an exception for a sweet treat?(那么,为什么你一口都吃不下了,但不知为何却会为一份甜点破例呢?)”和第二段中“Scientists now have a better understanding of the neural (神经的) origins of this urge (强烈欲望) thanks to a recent study. Working with mice, researchers tried to set up a scene similar to the human experience described above. (由于最近的一项研究,科学家们现在对这种强烈欲望的神经起源有了更好的理解。研究人员用老鼠做实验,试图设置一个与上述人类经历相似的场景)”可知,对老鼠进行的实验旨在探究为什么人们总会有吃甜点的空间。故选C项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“The second time around, during the “dessert” period, they offered a high sugar feed to the mice for 30 minutes. The mice really went for the sugary feed, eating six times more calories than when they had in the first round. (第二次,在“甜点”时段,他们给老鼠提供了30分钟的高糖饲料。老鼠真的很喜欢这种含糖饲料,摄入的卡路里是第一轮的六倍)”可知,在第二轮“甜点时段”,老鼠吃了更多的高糖饲料。故选C项。
【14题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第四段中“When we taste something sweet, it’s not just the sugar we’re taking in — it’s setting off a system in the brain that connects the sweet taste with pleasure, which makes us want to keep eating (当我们尝到甜的东西时,我们摄入的不仅仅是糖——它会触发大脑中一个将甜味与愉悦感联系起来的系统,这会让我们想要继续吃下去)”可知,第四段主要关注的是甜食和愉悦感之间的联系。故选D项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段中“Fenselau, one of the study authors, says studying this neural system further could throw light on how taking in too much sugar may contribute to the development of fatness. (该研究的作者之一芬斯劳说,进一步研究这个神经系统可以揭示摄入过多的糖是如何导致肥胖的)”可知,根据芬斯劳的说法,进一步研究的意义是揭示糖是如何影响肥胖的。故选D项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了作者两年前患重病,身体疼痛且心情沮丧,后来在医生建议下听音乐,音乐帮助其度过难关,作者希望音乐也能帮助处于低落时期的人。
【36题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:两年前,我被告知我患了一种很难治愈的重病。“主语+ be + adj. + to do…”为固定句型,该句型中形容词表明主语的特征或性质,句中动词不定式与主语之间存在动宾关系,且主动表被动。本句中hard表明主语 that(即先行词a serious disease)的特征,cure与主语之间是动宾关系,适用该固定句型。故填to cure。
【37题详解】
考查时态。句意:我的身体日夜疼痛。ache(疼痛)是谓语动词,根据前文时间状语“Two years ago”可知,该句讲述过去的事情,用一般过去时态,ache用过去式ached。故填ached。
【38题详解】
考查形容词。句意:在那段时间里,我感到很沮丧,仿佛一切都处于黑暗之中。feel是系动词,后面接形容词作表语,discourage的形容词有discouraged(感到沮丧的)和discouraging(令人沮丧的),此处形容人的感受,用-ed形容词discouraged。故填discouraged。
【39题详解】
考查冠词。句意:一天,在经过两个小时的治疗后,医生试图让我放松,建议我听一些音乐。“two-hour medical treatment”泛指“一次两小时的治疗”,且two的发音是以辅音音素开头的,用不定冠词a修饰。故填a。
【40题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:一天,在经过两个小时的治疗后,医生试图让我放松,建议我听一些音乐。“(advise) me to listen to some music”作伴随状语,advise(建议)是非谓语动词,与其逻辑主语the doctor之间是主动关系,用现在分词表主动。故填advising。
【41题详解】
考查连词。句意:《快乐》这首歌让我感觉好多了,从那时起我开始听音乐,这真的帮助我康复了。so...that...是固定句型,意为“如此……以至于……”,用that引导结果状语从句。故填that。
【42题详解】
考查副词。句意:《快乐》这首歌让我感觉好多了,从那时起我开始听音乐,这真的帮助我康复了。提示词修饰动词helped,用副词really作状语,意为“真正地”。故填really。
【43题详解】
考查名词。句意:此外,它给了我希望和满足感。a sense of...是固定短语,后面接名词,satisfy名词是satisfaction,意为“满足”,是不可数名词。故填satisfaction。
【44题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:如果你经历了各种情绪低落或孤独的时期,我希望音乐能像帮助我一样帮助你。period(时期)是可数名词,有形容词various(各种各样的)修饰,用复数形式periods,作宾语。故填periods。
【45题详解】
考查代词。句意:我相信你会开始珍惜音乐,并让它成为你生活的一部分。此处用指示代词it指代前面的“music”,作宾语。故填it。

第二节(满分25分)
52. 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。
I worked with a group of junior students. They could only read some materials at the third-grade level. I found it difficult to teach them, and I often felt helpless in trying to tutor (辅导) these kids. They were absent from school every now and then. I tutored them in small groups, but the results were not encouraging.
There was another problem — almost no reading materials were suitable for my students at such a low level. They wanted to read about relationships, dating, clothes and cars, not materials like “Run, Spot, run! See the ball.” The kids thought my materials were too babyish. Unfortunately, more interesting materials were too difficult for them to understand. One boy said, “Hey, man, this material is boring. And it’s foolish, too! Why do we get to read this junk (无用的东西)?”
One day, an idea suddenly came into my mind: I could raise some money to start a tutoring project. We didn’t get a lot of money, but it was enough for the project.
Nearby was a primary school. The third-grade students needed help with reading. I “hired” my students as reading tutors. I promised to pay anyone who’d help with those younger children. “You’ve got to know, that if you don’t show up, you won’t get paid. As a tutor, if you don’t work with care, it will be very disappointing to a young child. And I am sure every one of you will make a good tutor.”
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。
All my students agreed to have a try.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
As expected, the results were satisfying.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 All my students agreed to have a try. They prepared lessons carefully, selecting simple stories and designing interesting activities. When tutoring, they were patient and enthusiastic, using vivid gestures and humorous language to explain reading content. Gradually, they found the joy of teaching. One girl even said, “I didn’t expect helping others to be so much fun!” They began to understand the importance of reading and learning, and their attitudes towards study changed significantly.
As expected, the results were satisfying. The younger students’ reading abilities improved remarkably, and they developed a strong interest in reading. My students, who used to dislike studying, became more motivated. They not only enhanced their own reading skills while tutoring but also gained self-confidence. They were no longer absent-minded in class. The tutoring project not only bridged the reading gap between the two groups of students but also inspired a positive learning atmosphere, showing that sometimes a new approach can bring unexpected good results.
【解析】
【导语】本文以人物为线索展开,主要讲述了作者在辅导阅读水平较低的初中生时面临诸多困难,如学生厌学、缺乏合适阅读材料,后来作者想到筹集资金开展辅导项目,让这些初中生担任小学三年级学生阅读导师的故事。
