Four Excellent Museums for Kids to Explore
An injection of knowledge, Leeds
The Thackray Museum of Medicine in Leeds is giving a huge makeover recently. It features a Victorian street full of real smells and bugs, and presents shows of the impact of some terrible infectious diseases — cholera and smallpox before vaccinations. There are talks, displays, games as well as some information about health heroes over the years.
Adults: £12; children aged 5-15: £10; children under 5: free.
Follow that train, Walthamstow, London
A huge steam engine stands at the entrance to the small, indoor-outdoor Walthamstow Pumphouse Museum. Two 1967 Victoria Line carriages sit side by side with the cabs open to the would-be train drivers. Fireman Frank display s the fire engine featured in TV programs such as London’s Burning.
Free entrance.
Life through a lens, Edinburgh
The Camera Obscura and World of Illusions experience in Edinburgh presents a unique view of the city in the past. With over 100 interactive exhibits on five floors, it is completely kid-friendly with no “don’t touch” signs. There’s a perspective room where younger children can dance with their own shadow, match their face with a monkey’s, serve their head on a plate and even lie on a shark.
Adults: £16; children aged 5-15: £12; children under 5: free.
Go back in time, Chichester, West Sussex
Anybody who wants to see, touch and even smell what life was like in ancient times should head to the Weald and Downland Living Museum — a museum with rural buildings ranging from early medieval England to the Victorian Age, and a multisensory, living presentation. There are also farm animals to visit, a wood and playground to burn off energy, and traditional games in one big house if it rains.
Family ticket: £42.

When 15-year-old Priya Joshi visited her grandparents’ poor Indian village, she was shocked to see students struggling to study under di m kerosene lamps (煤油灯), which created dangerous indoor air pollution and provided only1% of modern LED’s brightness. “The smoke hurt their eyes and the unstable light caused headaches,” recalls Priya, now an engineering student at MIT. This troubling observation inspired her to create a solution.
Considering all kinds of specific problems in the local area, Priya spent months exploring the best way to deliver lighting solutions to students. Priya began experimenting with solar-powered study lamps. Her breakthrough came when she repurposed old school notebooks by embedding flexible solar panels into their covers. This dual-function design increased light output by 15 times compared to kerosene lamps while reducing carbon emissions by 2k g per unit annually. “It charges in sunlight during the day and provides reading light at night,” she explains.
Her project’s true creativity lay in its sustainable distribution model. Priya partnered with local women’s cooperatives to manufacture the notebooks, creating valuable employment opportunities. Meanwhile, students could earn notebooks by collecting recyclable materials from their communities. The results were transformative. “We’ve seen a30% improvement in school attendance since students could study after sunset,” reported teacher Anika Patel.
From its beginnings as a simple science project, Priya’s invention now brightens the lives of over 10,000 families across 42 villages. An unexpected benefit emerged when village elders began using the notebooks to record traditional folk tales and recipes that had previously only been passed down orally, helping preserve valuable cultural heritage.
Recently, Priya has adapted her design in collaboration with UNICEF to help refugee children. Field tests in three refugee (难民) camps showed the modified version reduced study interruptions by 65% compared to previous lighting Solutions. “The same technology that assists rural students is now supporting those displaced by conflict,” she notes.
4.What directly inspired Priya’s invention?
A.The health and study challenges she observed.
B.A university research project on rural education.
C.Her participation in a school science competition.
D.Her desire to experiment with modern technology.
5.What was the key to Priya’s design success?
A.Using solar energy for lighting.
B.Creating waterproof notebook covers.
C.Implanting solar panels into notebooks.
D.Designing notebooks with recycled materials.
6.What can be inferred about Priya’s problem-solving approach?
A.It prioritizes high technology.
B.It combines science with social needs.
C.It balances creativity with financial gains.
D.It focuses merely on environmental protection.
7.Which of the following can best describe Priya?
A.Ambitious and strict. B.Patient and humorous.

The castle (城堡) was the home of a king or nobleman (贵族). Most of the castles we think of today were built in Europe. They were built from about 1,000 AD to about 1,500 AD, during a period known as the Middle Ages.
Castles played an important role after the fall of the Roman Empire. When a king gave land to nobles, the nobles promised in return to serve the king and provide him with soldiers. Nobles built castles on the lands given to them. But some nobles simply claimed land as their own and built a castle on it. That was asking for trouble. There were many power struggles between nobles and kings, and among the nobles themselves.
Many stone castles were surrounded by a wide ditch called a moat (护城河). Some moats were filled with water, but many were not. The only way into the castle was across a wooden drawbridge over the moat. If enemies attacked, the defenders raised the bridge. Then they lowered a heavy iron-and-wood barrier called a portcullis to block the entrance to the castle.
A well-built castle was a pretty safe place to be. Attackers had a hard time getting in. But they still had some options. They could go over the walls using ladders. They could break through the walls or doors. Or they could dig under the walls and try to get part of the wall to fall down. If none of those things worked, they could just camp outside until the defenders ran out of food.
Attackers sometimes brought large machines called siege engines with them to break through castle doors or walls. This was a heavy wooden beam with a metal cap. In the early 1500s, cannons (大炮) entered wide use in warfare. Cannonballs could dig into the base of stone walls and weaken them. The walls then fell under their own weight. As a result, castles were no longer needed.
8.The underlined word “That” in Para. 2 refers to the fact that ________.
A.the nobles claimed land as their own and built a castle on it
B.the nobles promised to serve the king in return
C.the nobles provided the king with soldiers
D.the nobles simply lived on their own
9.What would happen to the wooden drawbridge when enemies attacked?
A.It would be destroyed. B.It would be lowered.
C.It would be blocked. D.It would be raised.
10.What are the last two paragraphs mainly about?
A.Attacking a castle. B.Visiting a castle.
C.A pretty safe place. D.Weakness of a castle.
11.What can we learn from the text?
A.Kings in ancient Europe were more generous.
B.Some castles were built to attract more visitors.
C.Warfare must be common during the Middle Ages.
D.Drawbridges were used to break through castle doors.

Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling. To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana. However, he sold his iPhone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill. His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women escaping violence, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York. There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare. When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says.
12.What inspired Ninson to create African’s own visual history?
A.Finding photobooks in secondhand stores.
B.Studying at a New York photography school.
C.Developing his family storytelling traditions.
D.Finding more African records overseas than locally.
13.Why is The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today important?
A.It contains stories from his grandparents.
B.It was donated by a photography school.
C.It shows Ghana’s history under foreign rule.
D.It was Ninson’s first photobook purchase in New York.
14.What best describes Paul Ninson’s character as highlighted in the text?
A.Ambitious and humorous.
B.Creative and sympathetic.
C.Conventional and home-centered.
D.Committed and forward-thinking.
15.What does Ninson’s story mainly inspire us to do?
A.Value teamwork in cultural projects.
B.Use technology to document history.
C.Pursue cultural goals through determined action.
D.Rely on external institutions for heritage protection.
七选五阅读
Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. 16 And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big reportsits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?
To understand this, we conducted a series of studies and identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.
We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect? 17 When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.
These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. 18 They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.
19 If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose those that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.
So, if you’ re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’ re consuming. 20 Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.
A.It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.
B.To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video.
C.You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.
D.Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.
E.This will be a problem if you are kept from focusing on your work.
F.Many platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.
G.Prior research suggests the three factors increase the accessibility of similar media.

三、语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the remote mountains of Yunnan, the echoes of the ancient Tea Horse Road can still be heard. In the small village of Niding, Qing Lao, an elderly Tibetan, recalls a time when mule-drawn caravans (车队) 36 (transport) bricks of pu-erh tea to Tibet. Villagers would assist weary travelers, 37 (offer) food and shelter without expectation of reward. “We’re all mountain folk,” Lao says, his words filled with nostalgia (怀旧).
The Tea Horse Road, 38 centuries-old trade route, once connected China’s tea-rich valleys with the Tibetan Plateau, facilitating exchanges of tea for horses and medicinal herbs. However, with the rise of modern transportation, the last caravans faded in the 1980s, never 39 (journey) or trade along these mountain trails again. Today, Yunnan, known for its cultural 40 (diverse), is working hard to preserve its heritage amid China’s rapid modernization.
Our journey led us from the 41 (live) morning markets of Lijiang, where vendors sell tea and mushrooms in a dozen dialects, 42 Baoshan Shitoucheng, a stone village seemingly frozen in time. Here, Naxi-style homes stand along the banks of the Yangtze River, and 43 (local), weathered by time, tend to bubbling buckets of sorghum wine.
Further north, in Shangri-La, where tradition meets tourism, the Ganden Sumtseling Monastery stands 44 a witness to Tibetan spirituality. Yet, it is at Ganden Dongzhulin Monastery filled with the scent of incense (熏香) 45 the old world still breathes, untouched by the crowds. The Tea Horse Road may no longer thrive, but its spirit endures in these mountain villages.

五、读后续写
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。
This past summer, my mom came home with an armful of books and a very serious look on her face. She said it was time I started reading “real books”, and I immediately complained. I’d been through this talk before: the one where she told me that I’d “thank her later” for making me a reader, and that books would make me “smarter” and give me “imagination”. I already had my phone, and group chats with friends. What did I need books for?
Sill, when I saw the titles, I paused (停顿). These weren’t the classics she normally tried to push on me. These were books with bright covers, funny titles, and characters who looked like they could be real people. “Just give it a try,” Mom said, “You might even like them.”
Hesitantly, I picked up Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. But reading seemed like such a boring, task compared to the instant entertainment on my phone. I thought about my friends chatting in our group and the endless videos within easy reach. Books felt old-fashioned and slow, and demanded too much focus. Besides, what was the point of reading about made-up people when I had real friends and real stories all around me? With a sigh, I threw the book onto my desk, half-expecting it to sit there, untouched, all summer.
Then, one night, there was a power failure. Unfortunately, my phone was dead, my laptop wasn’t charged, and there was nothing to do but lie there in bed, waiting for the power to come back on. When I looked around, I noticed the book Out of My Mind, siting there in the dark. With nothing better to do, I grabbed it, and opened the first page with a flashlight. I wasn’t expecting to read more than a paragraph. But after a few pages, I was actually curious.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
By the time I finished the first chapter, the power was back on.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The next day, I shared the book with my friends excitedly.

【答案】8.A 9.D 10.A 11.C
【导语】本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了欧洲中世纪城堡的相关信息,包括城堡的建造背景、防御设施以及遭受攻击时的应对情况和城堡逐渐不再被需要的原因。
8.指代猜测题。根据第二段“But some nobles simply claimed land as their own and built a castle on it. That was asking for trouble.(但有些贵族只是宣称土地归自己所有,并在上面建造城堡。那是自找麻烦)” 可知,“That” 指代的是前文 “有些贵族宣称土地归自己所有并在上面建造城堡”这一事实。故选A。
9.细节理解题。 根据第三段“If enemies attacked, the defenders raised the bridge.(如果敌人进攻,防御者会升起吊桥)” 可知,当敌人进攻时,木质吊桥会被升起。故选D。
10.主旨大意题。根据倒数第二段“Attackers had a hard time getting in. But they still had some options. They could go over the walls using ladders. They could break through the walls or doors. Or they could dig under the walls and try to get part of the wall to fall down. If none of those things worked, they could just camp outside until the defenders ran out of food.(攻击者很难进入城堡。但他们仍有一些办法。他们可以用梯子翻墙。他们可以突破城墙或门。或者他们可以在城墙下挖掘,试图使部分城墙倒塌。如果这些都不起作用,他们就只能在外面扎营,直到防御者耗尽食物)”,此段详细阐述了攻击者为进入城堡所采取的多种方法。根据最后一段“Attackers sometimes brought large machines called siege engines with them to break through castle doors or walls. This was a heavy wooden beam with a metal cap. In the early 1500s, cannons (大炮) entered wide use in warfare. Cannonballs could dig into the base of stone walls and weaken them. The walls then fell under their own weight.(攻击者有时会携带被称为攻城器械的大型装备,用来攻破城堡的城门或城墙。这是一种带有金属头的沉重木梁。16 世纪早期,大炮在战争中得到广泛应用。炮弹能够轰进石墙底部,使其结构变脆弱,随后城墙便会因自身重量而坍塌)”,该段进一步介绍了攻击者借助攻城器械和大炮等手段来攻破城堡。综合这两段内容,其核心都是围绕攻击者如何对城堡发起攻击展开,所以选项 A“Attacking a castle.(攻击城堡)” 能够准确概括这两段的主旨。故选A 。
11.推理判断题。根据第二段“There were many power struggles between nobles and kings, and among the nobles themselves.(贵族与国王之间,以及贵族彼此之间存在许多权力斗争)” 以及最后两段提到的各种攻击城堡的方式可知,中世纪战争频繁。故选C。
D
Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson arrived in New York five years ago with a passion for visual storytelling. To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography.
Growing up, Ninson loved family stories told by his grandparents, but photography was seen as an unwise career choice in Ghana. However, he sold his iPhone to buy a camera and taught himself the skill. His early projects, like recording a Kenyan community started by women escaping violence, strengthened his belief that Africans must own their visual history.
In 2019, Ninson joined a photography school in New York. There, he eagerly read hundreds of photobooks — a clear difference from Ghana, where such books were rare. When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library.
On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says.
12.What inspired Ninson to create African’s own visual history?
A.Finding photobooks in secondhand stores.
B.Studying at a New York photography school.
C.Developing his family storytelling traditions.
D.Finding more African records overseas than locally.
13.Why is The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today important?
A.It contains stories from his grandparents.
B.It was donated by a photography school.
C.It shows Ghana’s history under foreign rule.
D.It was Ninson’s first photobook purchase in New York.
14.What best describes Paul Ninson’s character as highlighted in the text?
A.Ambitious and humorous.
B.Creative and sympathetic.
C.Conventional and home-centered.
D.Committed and forward-thinking.
15.What does Ninson’s story mainly inspire us to do?
A.Value teamwork in cultural projects.
B.Use technology to document history.
C.Pursue cultural goals through determined action.
D.Rely on external institutions for heritage protection.
【答案】12.D 13.C 14.D 15.C
【导语】本文是一篇记叙文。主要讲述了加纳摄影记者保罗·尼森为了重拾非洲的视觉历史,在纽约收集了大量摄影书籍,并最终在加纳建立了迪坎中心图书馆的故事。
12.细节理解题。根据第一段后三句“To his surprise, the city’s libraries and museums held more photographs documenting Africa’s past and present than he had ever seen in Ghana. “How could our history be better kept here than at home?” he wondered. This realization became the start of his life’s work: to build a library in Ghana where Africans could reclaim their stories through photography. (令他惊讶的是,这座城市的图书馆和博物馆收藏了比他在加纳见过的更多的记录非洲过去和现在的照片。“为什么我们的历史在这里比在家里保存得更好?”他想知道。这一认识成为了他毕生工作的起点:在加纳建立一个图书馆,让非洲人可以通过摄影重拾他们的故事。)”可知,是尼森发现海外比本地有更多的非洲记录,这激发了他创造非洲人自己的视觉历史的灵感。故选D项。
13.细节理解题。根据最后一段后两句“Among its treasures is Ninson’s first New York purchase: The Gold Coast Yesterday and Today, a 1940s photobook documenting Ghana’s history before it gained independence in 1957. “It reminds us where we’ve been and where we’re going,” he says. (在它的珍宝中,有尼森在纽约的第一件藏品:《黄金海岸的昨天和今天》,这是一本20世纪40年代的摄影集,记录了加纳在1957年独立之前的历史。“它提醒我们,我们来自哪里,要去哪里,”他说。)”可知,《黄金海岸的昨天和今天》重要是因为它展示了加纳在外国统治下的历史。故选C项。
14.推理判断题。根据第三段后四句“When museums refused to share their records, Ninson promised to build his own library. He searched secondhand stores, asked publishers for help, and filled storage units with over 30,000 books, even using up all his credit card limits. His friend Brandon Stanton’s $1.2 million online fundraiser made the dream possible. With the funds, Ninson shipped the books to Ghana and established the library. (当博物馆拒绝分享他们的记录时,尼森承诺要建立自己的图书馆。他搜遍了二手商店,向出版商寻求帮助,并在仓库里塞满了3万多本书,甚至用完了所有的信用卡额度。他的朋友布兰登·斯坦顿在网上筹集了120万美元,使这个梦想成为可能。有了这笔资金,尼森把这些书运到了加纳,并建立了图书馆。)”可知,尼森承诺建立自己的图书馆,并且努力实现,说明他是一个有决心的人;根据最后一段前两句“On a December morning in 2022, the Dikan Center — “take the lead” in Ghana’s Akan language — opened in Accra, near the Gulf of Guinea’s historic coast. The library’s two collections celebrate African views: one focuses on Africa and Africans living abroad, the other displays works by photographers worldwide. (2022年12月的一个早晨,迪坎中心——在加纳的阿肯语中意为“领先”——在几内亚湾历史悠久的海岸附近的阿克拉开业。图书馆的两个馆藏展示了非洲的观点:一个关注非洲和生活在国外的非洲人,另一个展示世界各地摄影师的作品。)”可知,尼森不仅关注非洲,还关注生活在国外的非洲人,并展示世界各地摄影师的作品,说明他是一个有远见的人。由此可推知,保罗·尼森的性格可以用“有决心和有远见”来形容。故选D项。
15.推理判断题。通读全文可知,文章讲述了加纳摄影记者保罗·尼森从意识到非洲的历史在国外保存得更好,到决定建立图书馆让非洲人通过摄影找回他们的故事,并且通过自己的努力,包括学习、寻找书籍、筹集资金等行动来实现这个目标。因此,他的故事主要激励我们通过坚定的行动来追求文化目标。故选C项。
七选五阅读
Picture this: you’ve just settled into your workday and pulled up that big report you need to finish, when a friend sends you a couple of celebrity videos on WeChat. 16 And then the next thing you know, an hour has gone by while that big reportsits, ignored, on your desk. So how does that happen?
To understand this, we conducted a series of studies and identified three factors: the amount of media the person has already viewed, the similarity of the media they’ve viewed, and the manner in which they viewed the media.
We found the order and types of content we consume can affect our decision to keep consuming similar content. But what drives this effect? 17 When something feels more accessible, it becomes easier to process, leading us to enjoy it more.
These results also explain why it’s so easy to get distracted by apps on social media at work. 18 They offer bite-sized content that makes it easy to quickly consume several videos in a row. They often automatically suggest similar content, and many of them even automatically start playing similar videos, reducing the potential for interruptions.
19 If you really want to watch multiple in a row, choose those that seem unrelated. You can also use a social media timer that urges you to take a break after a certain amount of time, or even just consciously remind yourself to consume different kinds of content.
So, if you’ re struggling to climb out of a rabbit hole, try to find ways to reduce the similarity, repetitiveness, and relatedness of the content you’ re consuming. 20 Once you manage to break free, you’ll be back at that big report in no time.
A.It can be difficult, but it’s not impossible.
B.To fight the pull, make an effort to just watch one video.
C.You figure you’ll just take a few minutes to watch them.
D.Accessibility refers to how familiar a given kind of content feels.
E.This will be a problem if you are kept from focusing on your work.
F.Many platforms are designed to trap viewers in a social media rabbit hole.
G.Prior research suggests the three factors increase the accessibility of similar media.

三、语法填空
阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
In the remote mountains of Yunnan, the echoes of the ancient Tea Horse Road can still be heard. In the small village of Niding, Qing Lao, an elderly Tibetan, recalls a time when mule-drawn caravans (车队) 36 (transport) bricks of pu-erh tea to Tibet. Villagers would assist weary travelers, 37 (offer) food and shelter without expectation of reward. “We’re all mountain folk,” Lao says, his words filled with nostalgia (怀旧).
The Tea Horse Road, 38 centuries-old trade route, once connected China’s tea-rich valleys with the Tibetan Plateau, facilitating exchanges of tea for horses and medicinal herbs. However, with the rise of modern transportation, the last caravans faded in the 1980s, never 39 (journey) or trade along these mountain trails again. Today, Yunnan, known for its cultural 40 (diverse), is working hard to preserve its heritage amid China’s rapid modernization.
Our journey led us from the 41 (live) morning markets of Lijiang, where vendors sell tea and mushrooms in a dozen dialects, 42 Baoshan Shitoucheng, a stone village seemingly frozen in time. Here, Naxi-style homes stand along the banks of the Yangtze River, and 43 (local), weathered by time, tend to bubbling buckets of sorghum wine.
Further north, in Shangri-La, where tradition meets tourism, the Ganden Sumtseling Monastery stands 44 a witness to Tibetan spirituality. Yet, it is at Ganden Dongzhulin Monastery filled with the scent of incense (熏香) 45 the old world still breathes, untouched by the crowds. The Tea Horse Road may no longer thrive, but its spirit endures in these mountain villages.
【答案】
36.transported 37.offering 38.a 39.to journey 40.diversity 41.lively 42.to 43.locals 44.as 45.that

五、读后续写
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。
This past summer, my mom came home with an armful of books and a very serious look on her face. She said it was time I started reading “real books”, and I immediately complained. I’d been through this talk before: the one where she told me that I’d “thank her later” for making me a reader, and that books would make me “smarter” and give me “imagination”. I already had my phone, and group chats with friends. What did I need books for?
Sill, when I saw the titles, I paused (停顿). These weren’t the classics she normally tried to push on me. These were books with bright covers, funny titles, and characters who looked like they could be real people. “Just give it a try,” Mom said, “You might even like them.”
Hesitantly, I picked up Out of My Mind by Sharon Draper. But reading seemed like such a boring, task compared to the instant entertainment on my phone. I thought about my friends chatting in our group and the endless videos within easy reach. Books felt old-fashioned and slow, and demanded too much focus. Besides, what was the point of reading about made-up people when I had real friends and real stories all around me? With a sigh, I threw the book onto my desk, half-expecting it to sit there, untouched, all summer.
Then, one night, there was a power failure. Unfortunately, my phone was dead, my laptop wasn’t charged, and there was nothing to do but lie there in bed, waiting for the power to come back on. When I looked around, I noticed the book Out of My Mind, siting there in the dark. With nothing better to do, I grabbed it, and opened the first page with a flashlight. I wasn’t expecting to read more than a paragraph. But after a few pages, I was actually curious.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
By the time I finished the first chapter, the power was back on.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】
By the time L finished the fist chapter, the power was back on. However, I was so fascinated that I kept reading late into the night, completely absorbed. I found myself racing through the pages, unable to put the book down. Before I knew it, I’d read the entire book. I lay there, staring at the ceiling, with the story staying with me and filling me with emotions I hadn’t anticipated. Suddenly, a question came to mind: What would my friends think of this story? Inspired by this thought, I decided to recommend it to them.
The next day, I shared the honk with my fiends excitedly. As they dived into the story, I saw their faces lit up. Realizing the excitement that a book could offer, we started a book club to appreciate more stories together. As word of our club spread, a few new friends joined. Our little group grew big, united by a shared passion for reading. The simple act of sharing a book reminded us to establish profound connections with the written word. I was grateful to my mom for introducing me to this wonderful world of books.
