Nicole Latham is a 21-year-old law student from University of Leeds. Not only does she devote her time to law classes, she also competes in weightlifting competitions.
Beyond these academical and physical pursuits, Nicole is also in and out of the doctor’s office. She was diagnosed (诊断) with multiple sclerosis (MS), a rare disease, a year ago. The first attack happened while she was preparing for her A-Levels, a hugely stressful time for many students. Initially, she blamed her symptoms (症状) on stress.
Nicole carried on preparing for her exams. She sat with one eye closed to improve her vision which was damaged by her vertigo (眩晕) experience. That was when she decided to act and head back to the doctor’s office. She took loads of medicines, but no progress was made. Feeling something might be going wrong, she immediately went to the hospital for further examinations.
Following an MRI scan, she was diagnosed with MS. After this first attack and her MS diagnosis, Nicole didn’t experience another for a few years. But in August 2021, she had another. This attack made her left hand shake for two months. Despite the obvious challenge caused by the disease in daily life, she didn’t let it hinder her ambitions. And her goal was to show other young people with disabilities that they could live their lives and still enjoy an active lifestyle.
Today, Nicole uses her page not only to spread awareness of MS, encouraging people not to miss symptoms, as she did at first, but also to show people they can live a full and satisfying life with MS. She wants to show the highs as much as the lows.
4. Why does Nicole often go to the doctor?
A. She seeks more exercise. B. She wants to be a doctor.
C. She loses her ability to walk. D. She goes for medical treatment.
5. What was Nicole’s symptom during her first MS attack?
A. Her eyes were blind. B. She felt stressful.
C. Her left hand shook. D. She had a sense of vertigo.
6. What does the underlined word “hinder” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. Prevent. B. Share. C. Improve. D. Join.
7. Which word can best describe Nicole?
A. Creative. B. Inspiring. C. Humorous. D. Professional.
C
Anyone with even a passing interest in the natural world will have noticed a dramatic phenomenon this year: a lack of insects. Species that are usually common are in many places down to the point of having almost disappeared.
There are several probable reasons for this sudden reduction compared with typical summers. The weather has not helped, with a cool and wet spring across much of the country suppressing (抑制) insect numbers. But even with that factored in, this year’s sudden drop comes after many years of much longer-term decline.
Dave Goulson, one of the UK’s leading entomologists, estimates that insect populations compared with a century ago are 90% to 95% down. “This was not caused by one wet spring: it is the result of a combination of factors that include the rise of ever more intensive farming, habitat loss, pollution and the impacts of climate breakdown,” he says.
Aside from the depressing silence of gardens, woods and grasslands, there are more practical consequences. For example, many of our crop plants depend on wild insects to pollinate (对……授粉) them. Insects are also the food source of many mammals and birds that are also in decline.
The present position is nonetheless a wake-up call about the scale of losses that have taken place in recent decades. It is very clear that a major change is needed now. It is pleasing to see that the government has a sense of the challenge in front of us and has committed to positive measures.
We will need to go further, though, including shifting the culture that favors neat and tidy verges (绿地) to create wilder gardens and bigger, better and more connected natural habitats. All that will be needed is not only to stop long-term decline but also to create the toughness that our wildlife at present lacks, which will be needed more and more as climate breakdown leads to more extreme weather.
8. What can be inferred about the insect decline?
A. It’s not easy to spot. B. It’s a recent phenomenon.
C. It’s due to the hot summer. D. It’s part of a long-term trend.
9. What is a direct impact of insect decline on ecosystems?
A. Increased crop yields. B. Shifts in weather patterns.
C. Reduced plant reproduction. D. Enhanced wildlife adaptability.
10. What specific measures are needed to support wildlife?
A. Planting more neat and tidy verges.
B. Establishing nature reserves and reducing habitat destruction.
C. Increasing research investment in wildlife population monitoring.
D. Introducing advanced technologies to control other threats to wildlife.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Climate change effects. B. The role of insects in nature.
C. A sharp drop in insect numbers. D. Government measures on insects.
D
What Could the School of 2050 Look Like?
Thanks to technology-driven advances in education, the school of 2050 may look different in many ways. For example, on entering the classroom, biometric scanning (生物识别扫描) will allow students to check in. Teachers will be able to gather attendance data automatically. For the school of the future, there will be no need to deal with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds; we’ll have smart glass. Windows can automatically adjust their colors, protecting both our eyes and screens.
By 2050 3D printers will have become a standard appliance, both in the home and at school. As a learning aid, they’ll have become crucial, allowing teachers more flexibility to explain difficult concepts.
Adaptive learning systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) will have become integrated into the school environment by 2050. Personalized learning experiences will take into account learning styles and create adaptive assessments that adjust in real time based on performance. AI may also be used to analyze pupils’ work, even so far as predicting future performance, helping teachers understand which students need more guidance on a particular concept before they fall behind.
Students will be able to get immediate feedback (反馈), with suggested areas for improvement and more personalized tutoring (辅导) based on their strengths and weaknesses. And homework assignments will mostly be online. From downloading the assignment at the end of the lesson to submitting it remotely, students will be able to view their coursework, see the percentage completed, and track general assessments.
Gone will be the days of carrying heavy textbooks, and hurriedly putting them into lockers after lessons. Students of the future can look forward to having recommended reading materials right at their fingertips via e-readers and tablet devices which can be operated through virtual reality. As a result, dependence on paper products will be reduced. Though paper won’t disappear completely, it’ll be eco-friendly, either recycled or made from fast-growing plants like bamboo.
12. How will students in 2050 sign in?
A. With check-in sheets. B. By biometric scanning.
C. With a teacher’s headcount. D. By messaging the teacher.
13. What is the main focus of paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. AI’s impact on reducing school operational costs.
B. The role of AI in personalizing student learning paths.
C. The use of virtual reality in enhancing physical education.
D. The benefits of adaptive learning systems for student safety.
14. What can we learn about the future textbooks?
A. They only use bamboo paper. B. They will remain paper-based.
C. Digital ones may replace them. D. All the students in the class only need one.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To criticize traditional teaching methods.
B. To highlight the challenges faced by students.
C. To inform readers about the future of schools.
D. To promote the use of technology in education.

47. 阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was working in a major UK toy store. One Christmas, the highly sought-after items were remote-controlled toy cars. They came in different colors and had various features, making them a popular choice among kids.
One morning, an elderly woman entered the store. She was wandering around, looking a bit lost and confused as she browsed through the shelves. Eventually, she made her way to the section where the remote-controlled toys were displayed. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket, examined it carefully, and then approached the counter with a hesitant look.
I accompanied her back to the remote-controlled toy section. She handed me the note, which read, “I hope my grandma, my only family member, always stays healthy. And I really want a remote-controlled car for Christmas.” As I read the wish list, a wave of pity washed over me. This little boy, who had lost his parents at a young age and now only had his grandma, first thought of her well-being.
I nodded and assured her that she was in the right place. A smile spread across her face, and she seemed relieved that she had found the right item. “I've come such a long way,” she said. “My grandson's so well-behaved. Every day, he helps me with the housework around our small house. I want to give him something he really wanted for Christmas.” As she spoke, her eyes shone with love.
I slowly introduced the different models available to her, their features and the prices. She listened carefully. After some consideration, she decided to choose the cheapest one.
When it was time for the elderly woman to pay, she counted the money in her hands carefully, and her face gradually showed signs of anxiety. Looking a bit embarrassed, she raised her head and said in a shaky voice that she was a little short of money. As it turned out, she was only£5 short, but to her, it seemed like an unbridgeable gap. So, with a heavy heart, she decided to come back and buy the toy car next time.
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。
At that moment, I couldn't bear to see her disappointed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few days later, the elderly woman came back to thank me with homemade items.

Nicole Latham is a 21-year-old law student from University of Leeds. Not only does she devote her time to law classes, she also competes in weightlifting competitions.
Beyond these academical and physical pursuits, Nicole is also in and out of the doctor’s office. She was diagnosed (诊断) with multiple sclerosis (MS), a rare disease, a year ago. The first attack happened while she was preparing for her A-Levels, a hugely stressful time for many students. Initially, she blamed her symptoms (症状) on stress.
Nicole carried on preparing for her exams. She sat with one eye closed to improve her vision which was damaged by her vertigo (眩晕) experience. That was when she decided to act and head back to the doctor’s office. She took loads of medicines, but no progress was made. Feeling something might be going wrong, she immediately went to the hospital for further examinations.
Following an MRI scan, she was diagnosed with MS. After this first attack and her MS diagnosis, Nicole didn’t experience another for a few years. But in August 2021, she had another. This attack made her left hand shake for two months. Despite the obvious challenge caused by the disease in daily life, she didn’t let it hinder her ambitions. And her goal was to show other young people with disabilities that they could live their lives and still enjoy an active lifestyle.
Today, Nicole uses her page not only to spread awareness of MS, encouraging people not to miss symptoms, as she did at first, but also to show people they can live a full and satisfying life with MS. She wants to show the highs as much as the lows.
4. Why does Nicole often go to the doctor?

Anyone with even a passing interest in the natural world will have noticed a dramatic phenomenon this year: a lack of insects. Species that are usually common are in many places down to the point of having almost disappeared.
There are several probable reasons for this sudden reduction compared with typical summers. The weather has not helped, with a cool and wet spring across much of the country suppressing (抑制) insect numbers. But even with that factored in, this year’s sudden drop comes after many years of much longer-term decline.
Dave Goulson, one of the UK’s leading entomologists, estimates that insect populations compared with a century ago are 90% to 95% down. “This was not caused by one wet spring: it is the result of a combination of factors that include the rise of ever more intensive farming, habitat loss, pollution and the impacts of climate breakdown,” he says.
Aside from the depressing silence of gardens, woods and grasslands, there are more practical consequences. For example, many of our crop plants depend on wild insects to pollinate (对……授粉) them. Insects are also the food source of many mammals and birds that are also in decline.
The present position is nonetheless a wake-up call about the scale of losses that have taken place in recent decades. It is very clear that a major change is needed now. It is pleasing to see that the government has a sense of the challenge in front of us and has committed to positive measures.
We will need to go further, though, including shifting the culture that favors neat and tidy verges (绿地) to create wilder gardens and bigger, better and more connected natural habitats. All that will be needed is not only to stop long-term decline but also to create the toughness that our wildlife at present lacks, which will be needed more and more as climate breakdown leads to more extreme weather.
8. What can be inferred about the insect decline?
A. It’s not easy to spot. B. It’s a recent phenomenon.
C. It’s due to the hot summer. D. It’s part of a long-term trend.
9. What is a direct impact of insect decline on ecosystems?
A. Increased crop yields. B. Shifts in weather patterns.
C. Reduced plant reproduction. D. Enhanced wildlife adaptability.
10. What specific measures are needed to support wildlife?
A. Planting more neat and tidy verges.
B. Establishing nature reserves and reducing habitat destruction.
C. Increasing research investment in wildlife population monitoring.
D. Introducing advanced technologies to control other threats to wildlife.
11. What is the text mainly about?
A. Climate change effects. B. The role of insects in nature.
C. A sharp drop in insect numbers. D. Government measures on insects.
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. B 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了昆虫数量急剧下降的现象,分析了其长期趋势、对生态系统的影响以及支持野生动物所需的具体措施。
【8题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句“But even with that factored in, this year's sudden drop comes after many years of much longer-term decline. (但即使考虑到这一因素,今年的突然下降是在经历了多年的长期下降之后出现的。)”可知,这次昆虫数量的减少是一个长期趋势的一部分。故选D项。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段第二句“For example, many of our crop plants depend on wild insects to pollinate (对……授粉) them. (例如,我们的许多农作物依赖野生昆虫授粉。)”可知,可推知昆虫减少会直接导致植物繁殖减少。故选C项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段第一句“We will need to go further, though, including shifting the culture that favors neat and tidy verges (绿地) to create wilder gardens and bigger, better and more connected natural habitats. (然而,我们需要更进一步,包括转变喜欢整洁边缘的文化,创造更野性的花园和更大、更好、更连通的自然栖息地。)”可知,保护野生动物需要建立自然保护区,减少栖息地破坏。故选B项。
【11题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,并结合第一段第一句“Anyone with even a passing interest in the natural world will have noticed a dramatic phenomenon this year: a lack of insects. (任何对自然界稍有兴趣的人都会注意到今年一个引人注目的现象:昆虫的缺乏。)”可知,文章主要围绕昆虫数量急剧下降展开,分析原因、影响及解决措施,C项“A sharp drop in insect numbers (昆虫数量急剧下降)”符合文章主旨。故选C项。

What Could the School of 2050 Look Like?
Thanks to technology-driven advances in education, the school of 2050 may look different in many ways. For example, on entering the classroom, biometric scanning (生物识别扫描) will allow students to check in. Teachers will be able to gather attendance data automatically. For the school of the future, there will be no need to deal with heavy curtains or dust-covered blinds; we’ll have smart glass. Windows can automatically adjust their colors, protecting both our eyes and screens.
By 2050, 3D printers will have become a standard appliance, both in the home and at school. As a learning aid, they’ll have become crucial, allowing teachers more flexibility to explain difficult concepts.
Adaptive learning systems driven by artificial intelligence (AI) will have become integrated into the school environment by 2050. Personalized learning experiences will take into account learning styles and create adaptive assessments that adjust in real time based on performance. AI may also be used to analyze pupils’ work, even so far as predicting future performance, helping teachers understand which students need more guidance on a particular concept before they fall behind.
Students will be able to get immediate feedback (反馈), with suggested areas for improvement and more personalized tutoring (辅导) based on their strengths and weaknesses. And homework assignments will mostly be online. From downloading the assignment at the end of the lesson to submitting it remotely, students will be able to view their coursework, see the percentage completed, and track general assessments.
Gone will be the days of carrying heavy textbooks, and hurriedly putting them into lockers after lessons. Students of the future can look forward to having recommended reading materials right at their fingertips via e-readers and tablet devices which can be operated through virtual reality. As a result, dependence on paper products will be reduced. Though paper won’t disappear completely, it’ll be eco-friendly, either recycled or made from fast-growing plants like bamboo.
12. How will students in 2050 sign in?
A. With check-in sheets. B. By biometric scanning.
C With a teacher’s headcount. D. By messaging the teacher.
13 What is the main focus of paragraphs 3 and 4?
A. AI’s impact on reducing school operational costs.
B. The role of AI in personalizing student learning paths.
C. The use of virtual reality in enhancing physical education.
D. The benefits of adaptive learning systems for student safety.
14. What can we learn about the future textbooks?
A. They only use bamboo paper. B. They will remain paper-based.
C. Digital ones may replace them. D. All the students in the class only need one.
15. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To criticize traditional teaching methods.
B. To highlight the challenges faced by students.
C. To inform readers about the future of schools.
D. To promote the use of technology in education.
【答案】12. B 13. B 14. C 15. C

(学生将能够获得即时反馈,包括建议的改进领域以及根据他们的优势和劣势提供的更个性化的辅导。)”可知,两段均围绕 AI在个性化学习路径中的作用展开。故选B项。
【14题详解】
推理判断题。根据第五段“Gone will be the days of carrying heavy textbooks, and hurriedly putting them into lockers after lessons. Students of the future can look forward to having recommended reading materials right at their fingertips via e-readers and tablet devices which can be operated through virtual reality. (携带沉重课本以及课后匆匆将书本塞进储物柜的日子将一去不复返。未来的学生可以期待通过虚拟现实操作的电子阅读器和平板设备,随时触手可及地获取推荐阅读材料。)”可知,数字设备可能取代纸质教科书。故选C项。
【15题详解】

Advice to the Hard-working Girl
You are not a superwoman. No matter how much you think you could handle, sometimes you need to take a step back and realize when you’re taking on too much. No one wants to be the one to quit, but sometimes taking a break is necessary to get work done effectively.
Practice the following things to help you accomplish this:
___16___
In order to please everyone, you try to say “yes” and be nice, not knowing that you’re hurting yourself in the long run. Saying “yes” to everything adds pressure. You always need to make sure not to let anyone down and forget that you have to take care of yourself, too. ___17___.
Take on what you can handle
Look, everyone knows you have the power to take on whatever you put your mind to, but don’t let that make you feel like you have to take on everything at once. ___18___. For example, if there are twenty things you need to do, do ten today and ten at another time.
It’s all about balance
___19___. Taking on too much at times makes you forget that there is a life to live. Everyone is proud of the work you’ve done but they miss you, too. Take a day to hang out with friends and family. The work will still be there, and balancing work with fun will actually make you more efficient.
Sleepless nights are awful
When it comes to not being able to sleep, it should be a wake-up call. ___20___. Usually, when your mind is restless, it’s a sign that something is wrong. Over stressing could be the reason why you're losing out on sleep and not sleeping makes you have a bad day. No one wants that, so don’t do it to yourself.
A. Take a deep breath
B. Stop saying “yes” to everything
C. You should learn to break things up
D. Work is good, but make sure to save time for fun
E. Keep that in mind when you try to be there for family
F. You should know you can say “no” when you feel overloaded
G. It means your body is off and you need to get it back in order
【答案】16. B 17. F 18. C 19. D 20. G
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要是给努力工作的女孩的一些建议,包括不要承担过多任务,要学会拒绝、合理分配任务、平衡工作与生活、保证充足睡眠等。
【16题详解】
根据下文“In order to please everyone, you try to say “yes” and be nice, not knowing that you're hurting yourself in the long run. Saying “yes” to everything adds pressure(为了取悦每一个人,你试着说“好的”并且表现得友好,却不知道从长远来看你正在伤害自己。对所有事情都说“好的”会增加压力)”可知,上文说的是对所有事情都说“好的”会增加压力,可推理出本段主要讲的是不要对所有事情都答应,B项“Stop saying “yes” to everything(不要对所有事情都说“好的”)”能作为该段的小标题,故选B项。
【17题详解】
根据上文“You always need to make sure not to let anyone down and forget that you have to take care of yourself, too.( 你总是需要确保不要让任何人失望,并且不要忘记你也必须照顾好自己)”可知,上文提到了不要忘记你也必须照顾好自己,可推理出空处应陈述要在感觉任务过多、不堪重负时,学会拒绝,照顾好自己,F项“You should know you can say “no” when you feel overloaded(当你感觉不堪重负时,你应该知道你可以说“不”)”是对上文的合理延伸,故选F项。
【18题详解】
根据上文“but don't let that make you feel like you have to take on everything at once(但是不要让那种想法让你觉得你必须一次性承担所有事情)”和下文“For example, if there are twenty things you need to do, do ten today and ten at another time(例如,如果你有二十件需要做的事情,今天做十件,另找时间做另外十件)”可知,要学会把事情分解开,C项“You should learn to break things up(你应该学会把事情分解开)”符合语境,故选C项。
【19题详解】
根据下文“Taking on too much at times makes you forget that there is a life to live. Everyone is proud of the work you’ve done but they miss you, too. Take a day to hang out with friends and family. The work will still be there, and balancing work with fun will actually make you more efficient(有时承担太多事情会让你忘记还有生活要过。每个人都为你所做的工作感到骄傲,但他们也想念你。花一天时间和朋友、家人一起出去玩。工作仍然会在那里,并且平衡工作与娱乐实际上会让你更有效率)”可知,下文提到了要花一天时间和朋友、家人一起出去玩,因为平衡工作与娱乐实际上会让你更有效率,可推理出此处主要讲的是要确保留出时间来娱乐,与D项“Work is good, but make sure to save time for fun(工作是好的,但要确保留出时间来娱乐)”符合语境,故选D项。
【20题详解】
根据上文“When it comes to not being able to sleep, it should be a wake-up call(当涉及到无法入睡时,这应该是一个警示信号)”可知,当无法入睡时,这应该是一个警示信号,由此推知,空处应解释这个警示信号是什么。G项“It means your body is off and you need to get it back in order(这意味着你的身体出了问题,你需要让它恢复正常)”是对上文“警示信号”的具体解释,故选G项。

【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了武当山的自然景观、道教文化、武术传统以及作为旅游和朝圣目的地的重要性。
【36题详解】
考查动词时态和主谓一致。句意:武当山位于中国湖北省十堰市,以其绝美的自然景观、山间的古庙群、悠久的道教文化和武当武术而闻名。此处为谓语动词,句子讲述的是客观事实,使用一般现在时,主语“The Wudang Mountains”为复数形式,be动词使用are。故填are。
37题详解】
考查动词的时态与语态。句意:1994年12月,武当山的一处古建筑群被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录,原因在于该建筑群内建筑物的宗教意义和建筑成就,如玉虚宫。此处为谓语动词,根据时间状语In December 1994,可知,此处使用一般过去时,主语“an ancient building complex”与list之间为被动关系,需用一般过去时的被动语态,且主语为名词单数,be动词使用was。故填was listed。
【38题详解】
考查介词。句意:1994年12月,武当山的一处古建筑群被列入联合国教科文组织世界遗产名录,原因在于该建筑群内建筑物的宗教意义和建筑成就,如玉虚宫。此处为固定搭配because of,意为“由于;因为”,符合题意。故填of。
【39题详解】
考查形容词。句意:这个地方经常出现在各种武术小说和电影中,展示其文化魅力。此处为形容词作定语修饰名词appeal,culture的形容词形式cultural意为“文化的”,符合句意。故填cultural。
【40题详解】
考查冠词。句意:电影《功夫梦》的一些场景是在武当山的著名景点拍摄的,如金殿和南岩宫,这些地方正是吸引电影制作人的所在。此处特指电影The Karate Kid,需用定冠词the。故填the。
【41题详解】
考查副词。句意:电影《功夫梦》的一些场景是在武当山的著名景点拍摄的,这些地方正是吸引电影制作人的所在。此处为副词作状语,修饰谓语动词are,exact的副词形式为exactly意为“的确”,符合句意。故填exactly。
【42题详解】
考查定语从句。句意:“我在寻找一些对我的身心有益的东西。最终,我找到了太极。”他说。此处为关系词引导的限制性定语从句,从句中缺少主语,所以使用关系代词,先行词为不定代词something,所以此处只能使用关系代词that。故填that。
【43题详解】
考查名词复数。句意:近年来,武当与海外地区的交流日益增多,这为武当武术走向世界创造了机会。region为可数名词,意为“区域”,空前无限定词,所以此处需用复数形式表示泛指。故填regions。
【44题详解】
考查非谓语动词。句意:近年来,武当与海外地区的交流日益增多,这为武当武术走向世界创造了机会。此处为非谓语动词作状语,结合语意可知,武当与海外地区的交流日益增多,自然而然的结果是为武当武术走向世界创造机会,所以空处用现在分词形式作结果状语。故填creating。
【45题详解】
考查形容词。句意:世界上越来越多的人对太极、武当武术和道教文化感兴趣。此处为形容词作表语,interest的形容词interested表示“感兴趣的”,become interested in意为“对……感兴趣”。故填interested。

第二节(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,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
I was working in a major UK toy store. One Christmas, the highly sought-after items were remote-controlled toy cars. They came in different colors and had various features, making them a popular choice among kids.
One morning, an elderly woman entered the store. She was wandering around, looking a bit lost and confused as she browsed through the shelves. Eventually, she made her way to the section where the remote-controlled toys were displayed. She took out a piece of paper from her pocket, examined it carefully, and then approached the counter with a hesitant look.
I accompanied her back to the remote-controlled toy section. She handed me the note, which read, “I hope my grandma, my only family member, always stays healthy. And I really want a remote-controlled car for Christmas.” As I read the wish list, a wave of pity washed over me. This little boy, who had lost his parents at a young age and now only had his grandma, first thought of her well-being.
I nodded and assured her that she was in the right place. A smile spread across her face, and she seemed relieved that she had found the right item. “I've come such a long way,” she said. “My grandson's so well-behaved. Every day, he helps me with the housework around our small house. I want to give him something he really wanted for Christmas.” As she spoke, her eyes shone with love.
I slowly introduced the different models available to her, their features and the prices. She listened carefully. After some consideration, she decided to choose the cheapest one.
When it was time for the elderly woman to pay, she counted the money in her hands carefully, and her face gradually showed signs of anxiety. Looking a bit embarrassed, she raised her head and said in a shaky voice that she was a little short of money. As it turned out, she was only£5 short, but to her, it seemed like an unbridgeable gap. So, with a heavy heart, she decided to come back and buy the toy car next time.
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。
At that moment, I couldn't bear to see her disappointed.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A few days later, the elderly woman came back to thank me with homemade items.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】At that moment, I couldn’t bear to see her disappointed. Without hesitation, I told her that I would cover the remaining£5 for her. She was taken aback and looked at me with gratitude. “Are you sure?” she asked, tears welling up in her eyes. I nodded firmly, reassuring her that it was my pleasure to help. She thanked me profusely, and I could see the relief and happiness on her face as she left the store with the remote-controlled car.
A few days later, the elderly woman came back to thank me with homemade items. She handed me a beautifully wrapped box, inside which were some delicious cookies she had baked herself. “These are just a small token of my appreciation,” she said warmly. I accepted her gift with heartfelt gratitude, touched by her kindness and generosity. We exchanged a few words about her grandson’s joy when he received the toy car, and I felt a deep sense of fulfillment knowing that I had made a difference in their lives. As she left, I realized that sometimes, a small act of kindness can bring immense joy and warmth to both the giver and the receiver.
