Let’s meet four poets whose words have touched many people. Robert Frost (USA,1874-1963) Frost loved writing about the countryside in New England. His poems, like The Road Not Taken, use simple scenes (like a road in the woods) to talk about big life questions. such as making choices. Though he worked as a farmer, his poems became famous and won him prizes. Rumi (Persia,1207-1273) Rumi was a poet and a thinker. His poems are about love, the soul, and connecting with something bigger than ourselves. He used metaphors, like calling emotions “visitors” in The Guest House. His works are read around the world, even though they were written long ago. Sylvia Plath (USA,1932-1963) Plath wrote honestly about her own struggles, like sadness and her relationship with her father in Daddy. Her poetry is powerful and emotional, talking about topics that were not often discussed before, such as a woman’s feelings and mental health. Pablo Neruda (Chile,1904-1973) Neruda’s poems can be about love or politics. He found beauty in simple things, like a lemon in Ode to a Lemon. He believed poetry should be for everyone, not just a few people. He won the Nobel Prize for his works. 1. What is one thing the four poets have in common? A. They all wrote only about nature. B.

Twenty­one years later I am later I am still a bright­eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic...and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8!Our home was a complete zoo...a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full­time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit.But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single­minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember; little steps add up to big dreams. 4. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________. A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor 5. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married. C.

She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons. C. She wanted to remain a full­time housewife. D. She was too confused to make a correct choice. 7. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? A. Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little，one goes far. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done. 【答案】4. C 5. D 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】本文是记叙文。主要讲了作者在上大学期间奶奶得了癌症，作者放弃学业照顾奶奶，之后作者结婚，收养孩子，抚养孩子，二十一年后作者重回大学，拿到了学位证的经历。通过自己的经历作者想告诉读者要坚持自己的梦想。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中的“In the fall of 1985，I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere.( 1985年的秋天，我还是一个即将前往霍华德大学(Howard University)的小女孩，目标是从事法律职业，梦想着能坐在最高法院的某个法官席上。)”可推断出，作者当时志在从事与法律相关的职业，并希望在最高法院有一席之地。故选C。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“But one year after I started college, she developed cancer.

There certainly were times I wanted to quit.But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.(最难的部分是对我离开孩子们的时间感到内疚。他们经常要我呆在家里陪他们。当然有几次我想放弃。但我知道我应该为他们树立一个榜样，让他们在余生中都能遵循。)”可推断，作者虽然很忙，但家庭生活真的很幸福。故选A。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据文中最后一句话“Remember：little steps add up to big dreams.( 记住：小步累积成大梦想。)”体现了作者对于实现梦想的看法。这句话与选项B含义一致，都是告诉我们：不积跬步，无以至千里，故选B。 C In the year 2075, humanity’s dream of living beyond Earth had become a reality. The Mars Colony, established two decades earlier, was now home to over 50,000 people. Among them was 16-year-old Lila, who had never set foot on Earth but often listened to her mother’s stories about the blue planet. Life on Mars was both fascinating and challenging. The colony was surrounded by a giant glass dome (穹顶) to protect residents from the thin atmosphere and extreme temperatures. Inside, artificial gravity kept everyone from floating away, and air purifiers worked 24/7 to turn the carbon-dioxide-rich air into breathable oxygen. “We’re lucky to have these technologies,” Lila’s mother often said. “When I first arrived, the water recycling system wasn’t as efficient, and we had to ration water strictly.” One evening, Lila asked her mother, “Why do people still talk about Earth so much? Isn’t Mars our home now?” Her mother smiled sadly and replied, “Earth was once a beautiful place with green forests, blue oceans, and countless species. But pollution, climate change, and wars destroyed much of it. Now, scientists are working on a ‘Ecological Rehabilitation Project’ to bring back its natural beauty. Maybe one day, you’ll get to see it.” Lila looked at the hologram of Earth on her desk — a planet covered in gray cities and dry deserts, but with small patches of green where the rehabilitation project was working. She wondered if Earth could ever be as vibrant as the old photos her mother showed her. “Don’t lose hope,” her mother said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Science fiction once imagined life on Mars; now it’s our reality. Who knows what future we can create for Earth?” 8. What is the purpose of the glass dome in the Mars Colony? A. To keep the air warm. B. To protect people from the harsh environment. C. To generate artificial gravity. D. To recycle water for daily use. 9. Why does Lila’s mother mention the “Ecological Rehabilitation Project”? A. To explain why Mars is a better home than Earth. B. To show that science fiction can become real. C. To describe the problems on Earth, like pollution. D. To hope that Earth might recover its beauty. 10. What does the word “rehabilitation” (Paragraph 3) most nearly mean? A. Destruction. B. Restoration. C. Imagination. D. Pollution. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Life on Mars is perfect with advanced technology. B. Earth has become uninhabitable due to human mistakes. C. Science fiction inspires real-life innovations and environmental efforts. D. Teenagers in the Mars Colony don’t care about Earth’s problems. 【答案】8. B 9. D 10. B 11. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了2075年火星殖民地的生活，以及地球因污染等问题遭破坏，科学家正开展生态修复项目，人们期待地球恢复美丽。 【8题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“The colony was surrounded by a giant glass dome (穹顶) to protect residents from the thin atmosphere and extreme temperatures.(殖民地被一个巨大的玻璃穹顶包围，以保护居民免受稀薄的大气和极端温度的影响)”可知，火星殖民地玻璃穹顶的目的是保护人们免受恶劣环境的影响。故选B项。 【9题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中Lila的母亲的话“Earth was once a beautiful place with green forests, blue oceans, and countless species. But pollution, climate change, and wars destroyed much of it. Now, scientists are working on a ‘Ecological Rehabilitation Project’ to bring back its natural beauty. Maybe one day, you’ll get to see it.(地球曾经是一个美丽的地方，有绿色的森林、蓝色的海洋和无数的物种。但污染、气候变化和战争破坏了它的大部分。现在，科学家们正在开展一个‘生态修复项目’，以恢复它的自然美景。也许有一天，你会亲眼看到它)”可知，Lila的母亲提到“生态修复项目”是希望地球能恢复它的美丽。故选D项。 【10题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中“Now, scientists are working on a ‘Ecological Rehabilitation Project’ to bring back its natural beauty.(但污染、气候变化和战争破坏了它的大部分。现在，科学家们正在开展一个‘生态……项目’，以恢复它的自然美景)”可知，“Ecological Rehabilitation Project”项目有望恢复地球的自然美景，所以“rehabilitation”的意思是“恢复、修复”，与B项“Restoration”同义。故选B项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，尤其是最后一段中“‘Don’t lose hope,’ her mother said, placing a hand on her shoulder. ‘Science fiction once imagined life on Mars; now it’s our reality. Who knows what future we can create for Earth?’(“不要失去希望，”她母亲把手放在她的肩膀上说。“科幻小说曾经想象过火星上的生活；现在它成为了我们的现实。谁知道我们能给地球创造什么样的未来？”)”可知，本文主要讲述了火星殖民地的生活以及人们对于地球生态恢复的期望，体现了科幻想象对现实生活创新和环境努力的启发。C项“Science fiction inspires real-life innovations and environmental efforts(科幻小说激发了现实生活中的创新和环境努力)”能概括文章内容，最适合做文章主旨。故选C项。 D The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is one of the most famous iconic attractions in the world. Built around 4,500 years ago, it has long puzzled scientists and historians: How did ancient people build such a huge structure without modern machines? New research now gives us some answers. The Stones and Construction Scientists studied the stones used in the pyramid. Each stone weighs about 2.5 tons, and there are over 2million such stones. They found that the stones were not just cut from mountains nearby. Some stones came from faraway places, but ancient Egyptians used the Nile River to move them by boat. This was a clever way to transport heavy stones without trucks or cranes. The Workers’ Lives For a long time, people thought slaves built the pyramid. But recent studies of workers’ tombs show they were free Egyptians. These workers had families, and the king’s officials took care of them. They worked in teams, and some were builders, some were cooks, and others were doctors. This shows the pyramid was built by a large group of organized workers, not slaves. The Science of Shapes The pyramid’s shape is a perfect square-based pyramid. Scientists found that the ancient Egyptians used simple tools to measure angles (角度) and lines. For example, they used a rope with 12 equal knots to make a right angle (直角), which helped them build the pyramid’s straight sides. The pyramid’s top points exactly to the north, showing their understanding of astronomy (天文学) and math. Why It Still Stands The Great Pyramid has survived thousands of years because of its strong structure. The stones fit together so tightly that even a knife can’t go between them. Scientists say the pyramid’s shape helps it stand against wind and earthquakes. It’s a great example of ancient people’s wisdom and engineering skills. 12. What can we learn about the stones of the Great Pyramid? A. All stones were found near the pyramid. B. Most stones were too small to weigh 2.5 tons. C. Ancient Egyptians moved some stones by water. D. Modern machines helped cut the stones. 13 Why does the passage mention “a rope with 12 equal knots”? A. To show ancient Egyptians’ love for art. B. To explain how they measured right angles. C. To prove the pyramid’s top points to the north. D. To describe the shape of the pyramid’s sides. 14. What can we infer about the pyramid workers? A. They worked alone without any teamwork. B. They had different jobs within the group. C. They were not allowed to have families. D. They came from countries outside Egypt. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare the Great Pyramid with modern buildings. B. To question the historical importance of the pyramid. C. To introduce new scientific findings about the pyramid. D. To encourage readers to visit the Great Pyramid. 【答案】12. C 13. B 14. B 15. C 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章围绕埃及吉萨大金字塔展开，介绍了建造金字塔的石头运输方式、工人情况、建造的科学原理以及金字塔历经千年不倒的原因等新的科学发现。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Stones and Construction部分中“They found that the stones were not just cut from mountains nearby. Some stones came from faraway places, but ancient Egyptians used the Nile River to move them by boat.(他们发现这些石头不只是从附近的山上开采的。有些石头来自遥远的地方，但古埃及人利用尼罗河用船来搬运它们)”可知，古埃及人通过水路搬运了一些石头。故选C项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据The Science of Shapes部分中“Scientists found that the ancient Egyptians used simple tools to measure angles (角度) and lines. For example, they used a rope with 12 equal knots to make a right angle (直角), which helped them build the pyramid’s straight sides.(科学家发现古埃及人使用简单的工具来测量角度和线条。例如，他们用一根有12个等距结的绳子来制作直角，这有助于他们建造金字塔的笔直侧面)”可知，提到“有12个等距结的绳子”是为了解释他们如何测量直角。故选B项。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据The Workers’ Lives部分中“They worked in teams, and some were builders, some were cooks, and others were doctors.(他们以团队形式工作，一些人是建筑工人，一些人是厨师，还有一些人是医生)”可知，金字塔的工人们在团队中有不同的工作。故选B项。 15题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“New research now gives us some answers.(新的研究现在给了我们一些答案)”以及后文分别从“The Stones and Construction(石头与建造)”、“The Workers’ Lives(工人的生活)”、“The Science of Shapes(形状的科学)”和“Why It Still Stands(它为何仍然屹立不倒)”等方面进行阐述可推知，文章主要是在介绍关于金字塔的新科学发现。故选C项。 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共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。 Courage is a quality that everyone has, but it sometimes disappears because of bad experiences or memories. ___16___ So, how can people build courage?

This was one more way for her to solve my strange problem—inability (没能力)to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I pulled a few books off the shelf and sat down on the floor. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of dog. I had recently had a dog, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was the one I could share secrets with, but later he was given away to someone who had space and money to care for him. I never forgot my dog. On the book’s cover, there was a dog which looked the same as mine. I figured the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the little, Amos, the Dog with a Plan. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty and got the main ides of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion. When I finished my reading, a stream of tears ran down my cheeks. It was until then that I realized I had begun to overcome my inability to read. Thus, this was the very first book for me which I had read through and deeply immersed myself in the real scene. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答 My mother’s call brought me back to the real world and I suddenly realized something. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Last year, my mother was so proud that her son was awarded a PhD in literature. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Para 1: My mother’s call brought me back to the real world and I suddenly realized something. Books could be incredibly wonderful and I was going to read them. From then on, I kept going to the library. In the library, I was exposed to different types of books: detective stories, love stories, poems and so on. My mother encouraged me to spend time doing my favorite thing. Day by day, I finally succeeded in overcoming my inability to read. Moreover, I began to write some stories. When I went to university, I chose literature as my major. Para 2: Last year, my mother was so proud that her son was awarded a PhD in literature. I never told my mother about my experience that summer. It was the very first book that made me who I am today. This year, I begin writing my first book on the topic of my dog. I hope writing could be my lifelong career. 【解析】 【分析】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了作者是一个有阅读障碍的孩子，被妈妈逼着到图书馆去借书。在图书馆，作者因为看到了一本书的封面有一条狗，这条狗与自己曾经的狗很相似，于是被这本书所吸引，从此对阅读产生了兴趣，并最终克服了阅读障碍。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“妈妈的电话把我带回了现实世界，我突然意识到一些事情”可知，第一段可描写作者意识到了什么事情，且在不知不觉中爱上了阅读，以及阅读给读者带来的好处。 ②由第二段首句内容“去年，我妈妈非常自豪，因为她的儿子获得了文学博士学位”可知，第二段可描写作者为什么取得了这么大的成就。 2.续写线索：意识到书很精彩——一直去图书馆——克服阅读障碍——写故事——获得了文学博士学位——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①接触：be exposed to / have access to ②继续做某事：keep doing sth./ go on doing sth. ③开始：begin / start 情绪类 ①鼓励：encourage / inspire 【点睛】[高分句型1] When I went to university, I chose literature as my major.

Let’s meet four poets whose words have touched many people. Robert Frost (USA,1874-1963) Frost loved writing about the countryside in New England. His poems, like The Road Not Taken, use simple scenes (like a road in the woods) to talk about big life questions. such as making choices. Though he worked as a farmer, his poems became famous and won him prizes. Rumi (Persia,1207-1273) Rumi was a poet and a thinker. His poems are about love, the soul, and connecting with something bigger than ourselves. He used metaphors, like calling emotions “visitors” in The Guest House. His works are read around the world, even though they were written long ago. Sylvia Plath (USA,1932-1963) Plath wrote honestly about her own struggles, like sadness and her relationship with her father in Daddy. Her poetry is powerful and emotional, talking about topics that were not often discussed before, such as a woman’s feelings and mental health. Pablo Neruda (Chile,1904-1973) Neruda’s poems can be about love or politics. He found beauty in simple things, like a lemon in Ode to a Lemon. He believed poetry should be for everyone, not just a few people. He won the Nobel Prize for his works. 1. What is one thing the four poets have in common? A. They all wrote only about nature. B. Their poems talk about things many people can understand. C. They were all born in the same country. D. They won the Nobel Prize for their poetry. 2. Why is Robert Frost’s poetry popular? A. He wrote about easy choices in life. B. He used simple scenes to talk about deep ideas. C. He worked on a farm and knew about country life. D. His poems are short and easy to read. 3. What made Sylvia Plath’s poetry special? A. She wrote happy poems about her family. B. She was the first woman to write poetry. C. She talked openly about personal struggles like sadness. D. Her poems used funny stories to make people laugh. B In the fall of 1985，I was a bright­eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty­one years later I am later I am still a bright­eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopt and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic...and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No. 3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy. You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8!Our home was a complete zoo...a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college full­time. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant talking as few as one class each semester. The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit.But I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives. In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree! I am not special, just single­minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember; little steps add up to big dreams. 4. When the author went to Howard University, her dream was to be ________. A. a writer B. a teacher C. a judge D. a doctor 5. Why did the author quit school in her second year of college? A. She wanted to study by herself. B. She fell in love and got married. C.

She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons. C She wanted to remain a full­time housewife. D. She was too confused to make a correct choice. 7. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph? A Failure is the mother of success. B. Little by little，one goes far. C. Every coin has two sides. D. Well begun, half done. C In the year 2075, humanity’s dream of living beyond Earth had become a reality. The Mars Colony, established two decades earlier, was now home to over 50,000 people. Among them was 16-year-old Lila, who had never set foot on Earth but often listened to her mother’s stories about the blue planet. Life on Mars was both fascinating and challenging. The colony was surrounded by a giant glass dome (穹顶) to protect residents from the thin atmosphere and extreme temperatures. Inside, artificial gravity kept everyone from floating away, and air purifiers worked 24/7 to turn the carbon-dioxide-rich air into breathable oxygen. “We’re lucky to have these technologies,” Lila’s mother often said. “When I first arrived, the water recycling system wasn’t as efficient, and we had to ration water strictly.” One evening, Lila asked her mother, “Why do people still talk about Earth so much? Isn’t Mars our home now?” Her mother smiled sadly and replied, “Earth was once a beautiful place with green forests, blue oceans, and countless species. But pollution, climate change, and wars destroyed much of it. Now, scientists are working on a ‘Ecological Rehabilitation Project’ to bring back its natural beauty. Maybe one day, you’ll get to see it.” Lila looked at the hologram of Earth on her desk — a planet covered in gray cities and dry deserts, but with small patches of green where the rehabilitation project was working. She wondered if Earth could ever be as vibrant as the old photos her mother showed her. “Don’t lose hope,” her mother said, placing a hand on her shoulder. “Science fiction once imagined life on Mars; now it’s our reality. Who knows what future we can create for Earth?” 8. What is the purpose of the glass dome in the Mars Colony? A. To keep the air warm. B. To protect people from the harsh environment. C. To generate artificial gravity. D. To recycle water for daily use. 9. Why does Lila’s mother mention the “Ecological Rehabilitation Project”? A. To explain why Mars is a better home than Earth. B. To show that science fiction can become real. C. To describe the problems on Earth, like pollution. D. To hope that Earth might recover its beauty. 10. What does the word “rehabilitation” (Paragraph 3) most nearly mean? A. Destruction. B. Restoration. C. Imagination. D. Pollution. 11. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Life on Mars is perfect with advanced technology. B. Earth has become uninhabitable due to human mistakes. C. Science fiction inspires real-life innovations and environmental efforts. D. Teenagers in the Mars Colony don’t care about Earth’s problems. D The Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt is one of the most famous iconic attractions in the world. Built around 4,500 years ago, it has long puzzled scientists and historians: How did ancient people build such a huge structure without modern machines? New research now gives us some answers. The Stones and Construction Scientists studied the stones used in the pyramid. Each stone weighs about 2.5 tons, and there are over 2million such stones. They found that the stones were not just cut from mountains nearby. Some stones came from faraway places, but ancient Egyptians used the Nile River to move them by boat. This was a clever way to transport heavy stones without trucks or cranes. The Workers’ Lives For a long time, people thought slaves built the pyramid. But recent studies of workers’ tombs show they were free Egyptians. These workers had families, and the king’s officials took care of them. They worked in teams, and some were builders, some were cooks, and others were doctors. This shows the pyramid was built by a large group of organized workers, not slaves. The Science of Shapes The pyramid’s shape is a perfect square-based pyramid. Scientists found that the ancient Egyptians used simple tools to measure angles (角度) and lines. For example, they used a rope with 12 equal knots to make a right angle (直角), which helped them build the pyramid’s straight sides. The pyramid’s top points exactly to the north, showing their understanding of astronomy (天文学) and math. Why It Still Stands The Great Pyramid has survived thousands of years because of its strong structure. The stones fit together so tightly that even a knife can’t go between them. Scientists say the pyramid’s shape helps it stand against wind and earthquakes. It’s a great example of ancient people’s wisdom and engineering skills. 12. What can we learn about the stones of the Great Pyramid? A. All stones were found near the pyramid. B. Most stones were too small to weigh 2.5 tons. C. Ancient Egyptians moved some stones by water. D. Modern machines helped cut the stones. 13. Why does the passage mention “a rope with 12 equal knots”? A. To show ancient Egyptians’ love for art. B. To explain how they measured right angles. C. To prove the pyramid’s top points to the north. D. To describe the shape of the pyramid’s sides. 14. What can we infer about the pyramid workers? A. They worked alone without any teamwork. B. They had different jobs within the group. C. They were not allowed to have families. D. They came from countries outside Egypt. 15. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To compare the Great Pyramid with modern buildings. B. To question the historical importance of the pyramid. C. To introduce new scientific findings about the pyramid. D. To encourage readers to visit the Great Pyramid. 第二节（共5小题，每小题2.5分，共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。 Courage is a quality that everyone has, but it sometimes disappears because of bad experiences or memories. ___16___ So, how can people build courage?

This was one more way for her to solve my strange problem—inability (没能力)to read. In the library, I found my way into the “Children’s Room”. I pulled a few books off the shelf and sat down on the floor. The cover of a book caught my eye. It presented a picture of dog. I had recently had a dog, the first and only animal companion I ever had as a child. He was the one I could share secrets with, but later he was given away to someone who had space and money to care for him. I never forgot my dog. On the book’s cover, there was a dog which looked the same as mine. I figured the picture of the dog on the cover. My eyes ran across the little, Amos, the Dog with a Plan. Without opening the book, I borrowed it from the library for the summer. Under the shade of a bush, I started to read about Amos. I read very, very slowly with difficulty and got the main ides of the story about a dog who, like mine, had been separated from his family and who finally found his way back home. At the end of the story, my mind continued the final scene of reunion. When I finished my reading, a stream of tears ran down my cheeks. It was until then that I realized I had begun to overcome my inability to read. Thus, this was the very first book for me which I had read through and deeply immersed myself in the real scene. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式作答 My mother’s call brought me back to the real world and I suddenly realized something. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Last year, my mother was so proud that her son was awarded a PhD in literature. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
